722 The Death of An Lushan
The death of Wei Zhou made Li Heng as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly. The key was that Li Longji didn't react at all, as if there was no such thing as Wei Zhou. But the more this happened, the more disturbed Li Heng was. Now that the Longyou battle is about to end, Li Linfu will be able to vacate his hands. He was already in a state of exhaustion now. If Li Linfu was added, he really didn't know how to deal with it. Only then did he really clearly realize how difficult it is to be a prince.
Du Hongjian didn't have much to say about this. After all, it was already like this, and it was useless to say more. And both he and Li Heng knew that something similar might happen in the future. This is simply unavoidable. Unless you know who is behind the scenes, it seems that you can't find out who it is in a short time.
Li Heng became more angry as he thought about it, and he fell a tea cup casually. Although he was the prince, the future emperor, when he was not ascended to the throne, he was the target of others, and anyone could pour dirty water on him. And he knew very well that if such dirty water was spilled too much, he would fall off sooner or later.
Seeing that Li Heng was particularly annoyed, Du Hongjian said with relief: "His Majesty, don’t worry, if we wait for things to be messed up, isn’t this just giving others a chance. Although this matter is not good for your Highness, no matter what you say, Your Majesty does not There is no question of sin. As long as we deal with it, it will be safe."
Anyone can say anything that is relieved, but what is the meaning of such words? Li Heng knows one thing very well, that is, Li Longji must have been dissatisfied with him. If Li Longji is asking him or punishing him, he doesn't think There is something, but not saying a word like this, or even when nothing happened, is too abnormal.
"Nowadays, some people want to be disadvantageous to Gu. This is already visible. How does Mr. Let Gu deal with it? We still don't know who is behind the knife."
Du Hongjian said helplessly: "His Royal Highness, having said that, what can we do? At this time, doing nothing is much better than doing something."
In fact, Li Heng also knows this truth. It's nothing more than feeling unhappy in his heart. He has been calculated twice by others, and both times he reluctantly took over the dirty water that others poured on him. He won't be refreshed, he can bear it without yelling.
Li Heng slammed a fist on the table and sat down after a long sigh. Then he said, "Mr. Du, please explain, and let his subordinates strictly restrain them from now on. Don’t let others take advantage of it. If something unexpected happens again, I'm afraid I really can't bear it!"
Du Hongjian handed his hand and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the officials have already explained this."
Li Heng nodded, and then said, "Just let it go, alas! The only thing I worry about now is my father's opinion on this matter. I'm really afraid he will think too much!"
In Nanxun Hall, Li Longji had been pacing back and forth. Suddenly, he stopped and looked at Yuan Jaw and asked loudly, "Yuan Jaw, are you really sure that there is no one to live?"
"Your Majesty, I am sure that there is no one who lives. The two guards of An Lushan and Shi Siming, a total of 488 people, have died in battle. The minister has already explained to his head and went to investigate in detail, whether it was done by a foreigner, after the inspection It's clear."
"Yuan Jaw, do you really think this was done by aliens? Are Xi and Khitans or Turks? They really have the strength to wipe out an elite army of nearly 500 people?"
Generally speaking, the equipment of the Guards is different from that of ordinary soldiers. In addition, the Guards are all carefully selected and powerful men. In terms of combat strength, five hundred men can definitely resist them. Thousands of people attacked. If you want to wipe out a five-hundred-man guards, it would be impossible to do so without an army of about two thousand. Even if the shots are also elite men, the number of this army needs at least a thousand people.
Such a large-scale army has appeared in Zhuo County, and there is no sound of wind. This is an incredible thing. The key is that this thing has been done in this way. Li Longji can't understand why. Yes, I don’t know how it was done. Not to mention that Li Longji was very confused, even Yuan Jaw was the same, this kind of thing would be incredible in anyone's eyes.
As for Li Longji’s question, Yuan Jaw can naturally think of it. He also knows that it is impossible for an army of this size to hide. First of all, it is not said that it was done by a foreigner, even if it was the inner guard. To do this, I am afraid it will be exposed. After all, An Lushan and Shi Siming were completely wiped out. Without thousands of people dispatched, it would be difficult to achieve such an effect. Once so many people interact with each other, they are bound to be seen by others. As long as they are seen, one can find out who did it by checking.
"Your Majesty, it's better to wait for the inspection results of the heads, and other officials don't dare to lie." Now, Yuan Ja only knows that An Lushan and Shi Siming were killed, why would anyone act on these two people? He neither understands nor wants to think about it now, after all, this matter still needs to be checked.
On the contrary, Li Longji said very confidently and particularly annoyed: "I don't believe that this incident was done by people of a different race. They don't have this ability. Killing An Lushan and Shi Siming, what do these anti-thief want to do? It looks like it is. Someone really wants to try my knife. Yuan Jaw, your inner guard will definitely investigate this matter. If it can't be found out, I will ask you."
"Yes, the minister will strictly investigate this case, and find out what happened, and hope that your majesty will not be upset."
Li Longji is indeed a little angry. There have been so many things before and after. Obviously he knows that some people have deliberately done it. I feel that everything is done by a force, but there is no evidence to connect these things. Show what the other party wants to do, and what purpose it has.
From the beginning of Guan Weicha Li You's rebellion, people have been dying constantly, among them, the prince has been involved from time to time. It is impossible to say that this is only for the purpose of attacking the prince. In addition, An Lushan has been killed again. Li Longji didn’t believe it because of another force. Although he couldn’t understand what the other party wanted, Li Longji was sure. With a force of this size, what he wants will never be small, and he even dares to conclude that the goal of this force will eventually be placed on him.
But Li Longji also knows that no matter what he thinks, this matter must be investigated clearly. Only in this way can this force be slowly removed. What he is worried about right now is not his own safety. He is not at all worried about it. What he is most afraid of is that someone deliberately disrupts the stability of the country and causes border instability.
"Okay, I'm tired too, so you can withdraw, remember, you must do your best to investigate."
"Yes, the minister retire." After bowing, Yuan Jaw retreated. (End of this chapter)
