Chapter 778 Ambitious
The architectural style of Luoyang City is the same as that of Chang'an, and the city's squares and cities are scattered like a chessboard.
It is afternoon, and the sun is shining obliquely on the city of Luoyang. If you look down from a high altitude, you will see hundreds of horses galloping through the city.
"Avoid!"
More than ten riders shouted sharply, and the people in front quickly avoided.
"What are these people doing?"
After avoiding, everyone turned their heads to look.
"If it can't be done, there is an emergency military situation."
A man pretended to be wise and said.
"Get out of the way!"
Another troop of cavalry came.
Everyone couldn't help being stunned.
Teams of cavalry rushed into each market according to the prior distribution.
"Bump the door!"
Outside the gate of a family, more than ten riders are banging on the door.
Boom!
The door was knocked open, and more than a dozen cavalry stepped in.
"What is it?"
An old man brought his family out to drink and ask questions.
"Aye, it's cavalry!"
The old man looked at the door that was knocked open, and his heart trembled.
"What are you waiting for?"
The cavalry led by glanced at these people and asked, "Why?"
The old man hesitated, "What are you waiting for?"
He used to be an official in Chang'an, and he was regarded as highly respected. After returning to Luoyang, some people were often called together to discuss learning...
The cavalry took a step forward, and the armor clattered. He held the handle of the knife and asked again: "But why?"
What's going on here?
He Dao looked at these cavalrymen, just by looking at their equipment and the sturdy aura emanating from their bodies, he knew that these were fierce soldiers.
Jia Ping'an!
A name popped up out of nowhere.
Didn’t Jia Ping’an go back?
He Dao nodded.
There was a sharp look in those eyes, "Take it down!"
Two cavalry stepped forward, He Dao stepped back, hissing as he retreated, "Who are you waiting for? Why are you here to arrest someone? Someone! Someone!"
Several domestic servants stepped forward recklessly, and were hacked to death beside them. The smell of blood filled the air, and someone from the He family squatted there and vomited.
He Dao was dragged over and shouted, "Who is the superior you are waiting for? This old man wants to impeach him!"
The sergeant said lightly: "Mr. Wuyang!"
He Dao's body softened instantly.
"Take them all away!"
Jia Ping'an came back as expected, and made a bold move as soon as he came.
Groups of criminals were brought back, Luozhou Inspector Yang Qing said with a bitter face: "Mr. Wuyang, what is the matter? If you don't tell me, I will feel uneasy!"
The two had dealt with each other in Sanmenxia, when they broke through the rocks that blocked the waterway, Yang Qing's ecstatic appearance and Jia Ping'an's memory is still fresh.
"Conspiracy!"
Jia Pingan said in a low voice.
Yang Qing's body trembled, and he said in disbelief: "Conspiracy?"
Is this full of food?
"The Tang Dynasty is booming, why do they want to plot rebellion? Crazy?"
The key point is that these birdmen conspired to rebel. Although he stayed out of the matter, it was a sure thing that he was involved... so many people were planning to rebel, but you, as the governor, didn't realize it. Is this a dereliction of duty?
Jia Pingan said indifferently: "The change of power is God's will. To be honest, everyone is happy. But these people are not reconciled, and they plan to do it when His Majesty comes to Luoyang for dinner. My trip is for this."
Yang Qing smiled wryly: "It's because of this...is it related to someone in Chang'an?"
I would like to know too.
Then it was an interrogation.
"Ye Ye was wronged, you can beat Ye Ye to death if you have the ability, if Ye Ye frowns, he is not raised by his parents, come on! Jia Pingan, come here!"
A prisoner was tied to a wooden pillar, screaming like crazy.
"He's a hero!"
"Mr. Wuyang, why don't you take it easy?"
Jia Pingan shook his head, "I want to reason with him."
He stretched out his hand, and Bao Dong handed over the whip.
Jia Pingan stepped forward with a smile, and slammed his whip.
Snapped!
The prisoner trembled all over, "I said..."
Everyone was confused.
"Weren't you impassioned just now? Why did you suddenly soften?"
"Mr. Wuyang has nothing to do with killing people, and it's even more useless to build a Beijing temple. Those people turned into ghosts after death and were sealed in the Beijing temple. Such people are full of evil spirits, and even ghosts dare not approach them. Dare to take money in front of him, isn’t this suicide? Wu Yanggong can scare him with just a glare.”
Bao Dong made up the knife: "That man pissed."
The inmate really urinated, Jia Pingan turned around in disgust, "Ask me."
The news gradually aggregated, and all the news pointed to a fact.
"They are not reconciled, so they plan to do something when His Majesty comes to Luoyang. But it seems a bit ridiculous to me."
Jia Pingan said contemptuously: "Those three families can gather thousands of people, but if His Majesty comes to Luoyang, how many people can accompany him? How can thousands of people shake them?"
This plan was useless in Jia Pingan's eyes, but those people vowed that if he hadn't dredged Sanmenxia, this would have happened.
Isn't this funny?
"Actually...you don't have to be so humble."
Li Jiao didn't expect Jia Pingan to be such a humble person, and he immediately developed a good impression of him.
"What's the meaning?"
What am I humbled?
In this era, there are many powerful families and powerful families. These families are very powerful, and there are many hermits and slaves in the family. Once they want to make a move, they can pull a team at any time.
For example, if Li Ji went to Wagang back then, if he rode away alone, who would value him?
When the old Li family revolted, the Guanlong clan who supported them shouted loudly, and immediately the army gathered... This is the characteristic of this era.
Others are Tibetan soldiers and the people, and Datang is the Tibetan soldiers and the family of the powerful and powerful.
But the emperor eats when he travels, unless the accompanying army rebels. For example, Yang Guang suffered a rebellion. Yu Huaji launched a mutiny and finally killed the emperor.
But now the loyalty of the Tang army is not a problem. Looking at Huang Yizhi, the number of people he can muster is less than one hundred, which is like a joke.
Jia Pingan felt that Li Jiao had smoked.
"If those people take advantage of His Majesty's trip to act brazenly, they may not succeed."
The more Li Jiao thought about it, the more frightening she felt, "They could still send spies to sneak in... This is Luoyang, and it's their territory. Unless His Majesty stays behind closed doors, he will inevitably be assassinated."
This woman really thought she was a strategist.
"Actually, there is nothing to worry about."
Jia Ping'an is unwilling to receive this kind of merit.
"You don't need to explain."
Li Jiao waved his hand, and said very firmly: "Humility is humility, and explanations are too hypocritical."
She then went back and began to collect information to determine the relationship with Changsun Wuji.
Until night, she still didn't find any clues.
"Why not?"
Li Jiao sneered: "I don't believe that old thief can stay out of the matter. He is ambitious, cruel and easy to kill. Such a person can ignore the rebellion under his command? I certainly don't believe it."
"But why no one testified against him?"
Li Jiao rested her chin with one hand and covered her chest with the other, with an angry look on her beautiful face.
"I do not believe!"
She took out those confessions again, looked through them one by one, and even recorded many clues that she thought were useful.
oh oh oh!
The rooster crows.
The outside of the window gradually turned white.
Li Jiao sat there with a sad face.
"Should I just let that old thief go? I'm not reconciled!"
Li Jiao immediately went to the next door to find Jia Ping'an.
"Jia Pingan!"
No answer.
What time is it? Still sleeping! Li Jiao got angry and knocked on the door.
"Jia Pingan!"
"Jia Pingan."
Li Jiao beat her hands sorely, but there was no movement inside.
She said angrily: "You can sleep like a hog, but you are still a general? I think you are a hog general, and you were cut by someone..."
She suddenly smelled something... like sweat.
There is a sense of oppression behind.
Li Jiao turned around abruptly.
Jia Ping'an was right behind her, frowning and said, "What are you making a fuss about here?"
He was still holding a horizontal knife in his hand, and the single clothes on his body were soaked through.
"Did you go to practice?"
"Bullshit."
If you want to survive on the battlefield, you have to dance to the sound of chickens.
"I've got something to ask you for." Li Jiao inexplicably felt a sense of security in her heart, even a little excited.
"etc."
Jia Pingan went in, "You go back first!"
"Why?"
Li Jiao said coldly: "If I go back, maybe you will take the opportunity to run away."
"Will you go?"
"Don't go!"
What can you do?
Jia Ping'an came out from inside, and his upper body was naked.
"ah!"
Li Jiao screamed.
Early in the morning, this scream alarmed Li Jingye and others. The footsteps were hurried, and then more than a dozen people appeared in disheveled clothes with knives in hand.
Well!
Wu Yang Gong bares his upper body, Li Jiao screams at him...
Bao Dong turned around resolutely, "Go back."
"Last night, that woman even shook her **** with her brother... Hehehe!"
Li Jingye's voice was very loud. Li Jiao was ashamed and angry, and suddenly squatted down, covering her face and crying.
Li Jingye glanced back, "Brother dumped her **** but refused to admit it? Tsk tsk! It really is ruthless. But I like it."
"roll!"
Jia Ping'an scolded him: "What a beautiful thing to think about so early in the morning! Get out!"
Li Jingye chuckled, and said as he walked: "Brother, this is getting angry from embarrassment, and he fell asleep when he fell asleep. A man is a man, dare to act..."
Li Jiao didn't know what it meant to shake her butt, but she knew it when she was asleep, and she was very angry.
"Jia Ping'an, you are innocent!"
It's Li Jingye, okay?
"You squatted in front of my door crying early in the morning, what do others think?"
Jia Pingan came to the water tank and said, "Hurry up and avoid it."
Scoop up a ladle of water and pour it from head to toe, how refreshing!
I'm going to take off my pants, why don't you leave?
Do you really want to recommend yourself as a pillow seat?
But considering that this woman is the illegitimate daughter of Changsun Wuji, and she is also part of the emperor's plan, Jia Pingan felt that the thieves were dangerous.
Li Jiao entered his room, Jia Pingan took off his outer pants, and took a shower.
The room is very simple, a bed, a desk, and a candlestick.
There are several sheets of paper on the table.
Li Jiao sat down, but when she saw that it was a letter, she turned her face away.
It seems that there is a poem...
She couldn't help but take another look.
But I can't pull out this one.
Wu Shuang, Su Ho My Wife...
Li Jiao blushed, feeling immoral, but couldn't help looking at those two lines of poetry.
I just take a look, I swear I just take a look.
—My husband misses you very much in Luoyang...
—I think about my husband day and night, and I got two poems: Hatred is not as good as Chao Youxin, lovesickness begins to feel that the sea is not deep.
"Having each other is not as good as Chao Youxin..." Li Jiao couldn't help being infatuated.
Her mother was a dancer and also good at singing, and Li Jiao's ability to appreciate poetry is also quite good. Just by looking at it, you know it is a famous sentence.
The sense of oppression came again.
Li Jiao turned around and saluted, "I lost my mind for a while, and actually read the letter from Duke Wuyang, it's extremely rude..."
But those two lines of yours are so good, I can't help myself.
Jia Pingan frowned, put away the letter, turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, asking, "What's the matter?"
This woman was filled with hostility all over her body, and Jia Ping'an knew that it was mostly because of her mother's death. At this moment, he just wanted to get things done early, and then return to Chang'an, and stay away from this woman ever since.
"I can't find it." Li Jiao said blankly: "I didn't sleep all night, I searched those confessions carefully, but I couldn't find any evidence of Changsun Wuji's rebellion."
Changsun Wuji didn't get involved?
Li Zhi was pressing on every step of the way, and within a few years he broke up Changsun Wuji and his gang. Changsun Wuji had experienced the political struggles when the late emperor was King Qin, so he naturally knew that his fate was not good.
Why didn't he do it?
If he acted in Luoyang, once Li Zhi was assassinated, he would then be able to take his nephew to the throne. How old is the eldest nephew? It only takes a few years for Changsun Wuji to be regent, and he can completely reverse the situation in his favor.
…
Chang'an.
The grandson's family.
The singing is long and the dancing is graceful.
A table, a few dishes, and a jug of wine.
Changsun Wuji was wearing a blue toga, enjoying the singing and dancing in a leisurely manner.
The dancer is dancing Huxuan dance, spinning rapidly, the skirt is gradually flying...until her thighs are exposed.
This is an extremely high level, and it is also easy to stimulate the male instinct of men.
The dancer's feet suddenly turned away, and she fell to the ground with a bang.
She let out a cry of pain, then got up and knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Please punish A Lang."
The Changsun family has been passed down for many years, so it can be regarded as a wealthy family with a long history. In the generation of Changsun Wuji, it can be called a top wealthy family with strict rules.
Once there was a dancer who made a mistake in dancing, and the guests laughed jokingly, and Changsun Wuji laughed too, but that dancer has never been seen since.
Changsun Wuji raised his glass and took a sip, then said lightly, "Ginseng wine is really good. Drinking a cup will warm your body, and it is very good for old people."
Diva was still trembling, desperately waiting for her release.
Two footmen came in outside and grabbed her arms.
Changsun Wuji groaned slowly, "It is said that the Sui Dynasty died on this river, and it has been thousands of miles away. If there is no dragon boat event in the water palace, Gong Yu's merits will not be much... What is the rise and fall? The difference between one step and one thought is all."
He waved his hand, "Get out!"
The dancer girl seemed to be pardoned, and when she looked up, she burst into tears, looking in a panic.
"Thank you Alang for your generosity, thank you Alang..."
The grandson rushed here.
With a dark beard and fair complexion, even though he is not too young, he is still a descendant of a noble family.
He looked anxious, "Aye, something is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
Changsun Wuji asked lightly.
Elder Sun Chong knelt and sat opposite him, "Jia Pingan protected that **** to Luoyang, saying that he was intercepted and killed on the way. The emperor was furious and made people pursue the thief..."
He looked up, and there was a look of fear in his eyes, "Aye, over there in Dongdu...what those people are planning...Once it is revealed, my family will be destroyed."
"The old man said that you can't do that kind of thing."
Changsun Wuji's expression remained calm.
"But..." Zhang Sun Chong's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, "Aye, the pheasant slave is pressing every step of the way. This is a sign of attack. If he strikes brazenly, what will our family do? In my opinion... mobilize those people , Mobilize our people in the army...do it!"
Changsun Wuji looked at him quietly, and without any warning, he just slapped him.
Snapped!
Chang Sun Chong covered his face and said in disbelief: "Aye, you..."
"Fool!"
Changsun Wuji said indifferently: "This Tang Dynasty was defeated by the old man and Erlang together, and together they made him prosper. If he wins, how many people will be cleaned up immediately? The vitality will be greatly injured. If he loses, The emperor will also clean up a lot of people, which will also hurt their vitality.
You need to know that all the generals of Datang come from powerful families and wealthy families. If these are cleaned up...how do you let Datang face foreign enemies? Do you have to rely on those idiots to lead the fight? "
Chang Sun Chong said angrily: "It's time to wait, how can we care about the Tang Dynasty, let's do it first. Maybe our family can get a glimpse of that location!"
Changsun Wuji's eyes were calm.
"Aye!" Chang Sun Chong rejoiced in his heart, feeling that he had convinced his father. Changsun Chong shuddered at the thought that once the launch was successful, Changsun Wuji would be the emperor and he himself would become the prince.
"Aye, give it a go." Chang Sun Chong's eyes were full of ambition, "The Li family is the emperor, why can't our family do it?"
"Get out!" Changsun Wuji threw the flagon over.
Chang Sun Chong went out in a desperate state.
Changsun Wuji drank a glass of wine, looked up at the void, and said with a smile: "Erlang, your son... Pheasant is more and more like an emperor, ruthless, with superb means. The old man thinks that Pheasant is not inferior to you, you Are you happy?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The laughter in the room was quite gratifying.
…
In the palace.
Li Zhi was walking slowly.
Wang Zhongliang followed behind, followed by a group of court ladies.
Li Zhi strolled along, and when he saw a palace, he explained the origin with great interest.
The emperor was very interested today, and Wang Zhongliang hurried up to have fun.
"Your Majesty, back then, the late emperor had a banquet here for the officials. During the banquet, His Majesty took the lead in dancing, and then the officials followed suit. It was magnificent, magnificent! At that time, the slaves were waiting on the sidelines, and they were almost blinded by just looking at it. .”
Li Zhi asked: "Why?"
Wang Zhongliang said with a flattering smile: "The first emperor stood in the middle, surrounded by his officials, and he was so radiant. The slaves just took a look and felt dazzled..."
"Fawning!"
Li Zhi said casually.
Then went all the way to the harem.
Shen Qiu hurriedly came from behind.
"Your Majesty."
Shen Qiu glanced at Wang Zhongliang.
Can’t even listen to us? Old Shen, you are holding a chicken feather as an arrow, bah!
He stepped back a few steps, then turned his back.
Li Zhi looked at the few court ladies who stopped in front of him, "What's the matter?"
Shen Qiu said in a low voice: "They arrived in Luoyang. Those people Li Jiao knew all ran away, Li Jiao was helpless..."
"Um!"
Li Zhi's eyes were slightly cold.
"Later Li Jiao went to ask Lord Wuyang for help, and Lord Wuyang ordered the cavalry to keep an eye on the three families, as well as the prefecture...but it was of no use."
"Those people are old and cunning, how can they be afraid of such means? Jia Ping'an underestimated the enemy."
Li Zhi was a little dissatisfied.
Shen Qiu nodded, just as he was about to leave, he saw a servant running towards him, followed by a hundred cavalry.
"Your Majesty!"
Li Zhi turned around.
"Your Majesty." The Baiqi approached, panting, and said, "Mr. Wuyang raided a Zhechong mansion, killed dozens of people, captured several generals, and then rushed into Luoyang City, wantonly arresting rebels..."
Shen Qiu was startled.
A famous plan appeared in his mind.
"Mr. Wuyang, this is... the plank road is being built in the open, and Chen Cang is being kept in the dark."
