Li Er didn't want to sleep anymore, so he sent his servant, Gao, to check the Southwest's intelligence overnight. He needed to judge the recent situation in the Southwest. Is it good or bad?
However, before the servant Gao arrived at the intelligence office, there was another rush of horseshoes outside the gate of the palace. This time it was the kind of two people and two horses. Obviously it should be an urgent report.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, hurry up for eight hundred miles..."
"Hurry up, no, I will go in person."
When Li Er came to the Tai Chi Hall, the two riders saluted immediately.
"No need to be too polite, where did you come from? What happened?" Li Er asked anxiously.
"I came here from the Southwest Yubo City under the secret order of General Li Jin, so I don't know what happened, I just know that I have to hand over this letter to His Majesty." A messenger explained.
Li Er was about to go forward to receive the letter, but the servant Gao took a step ahead, "Your Majesty, a deputy general of the guard has no right to send an urgent report to His Majesty directly. It is better for the old slave to check first."
This is the rule, if a lieutenant's letter is equivalent to a retainer, if it is a conspiracy letter that is poisonous or something, Lao Gao will take the initiative to block the knife at this time.
Li Er wanted to say that Li Jin could be trusted, but knowing that he couldn't hold back Lao Gao, he acquiesced.
After Lao Gao disassembled it and checked it was correct, he immediately looked at it, and then his heart was filled with shocking waves, and he gave Li Er a wink.
Li Er understood, and said: "You have worked hard all the way, hurry up and eat some food, so that you can rest, I have something to ask you later."
After entering the Tai Chi Hall, Lao Gao read the letter quickly, and Li Er was shocked, how could this happen?
No matter whether there are poisons or traps in the letter, I grabbed it and read it carefully twice, and exclaimed: "No, send Jin Wang, Chu Wang, and Lan Tianhou here."
Lao Gao interjected: "Your Majesty, what was said about Lord Marquis in the letter..."
"Asshole, do you doubt Jian Jian? Does he need these low tricks?" Li Er scolded.
"No, I dare not, Master Hou is trustworthy. Will this prove that Li Jin's secret letter is fake?"
Li Er pondered and said: "No, Li Jin should not be fake. After all, he is only loyal to his third brother, and he doesn't know much about Jian Zhi. Since the accident happened to the cook of Wangjinglou, he naturally doubts Jian Zhi. Also reasonable.
But he didn't know that if Jian Jian had a different intention, he wouldn't start from places like the southwest. "
At this moment, Li Yuan rushed over again after hearing the news from Da'an Palace, "Erlang, what happened? Has there been news about Sanlang?"
"This, father, no, it's just a trivial matter..."
"Bastard, is I not qualified to participate in military and national affairs now? Tell me quickly."
Li Er had no choice but to hand over the letter. Li Yuan was silent for a long time after reading it, as if he was calculating the situation in his heart, and when he finally took the table, Saburo was in danger!
"Father, don't worry, the third brother was safe and sound when Li Jin sent the letter, and there are tens of thousands of troops in the city..."
Halfway through the talk, Li Er really couldn't go on talking, and he couldn't trust a group of poisoned troops.
"Come on, send two messengers quickly."
The two southwestern messengers were brought here just after they ate. Li Er got a general idea of the situation in the city after some detailed questioning. Not everyone was poisoned. The problem is, but the situation is not optimistic. All the upper-level officials are poisoned. The designer of this plan is a clever method. If he wants to catch the thief, he must first catch the king.
Chapter 793 Bai Fan Discusses the Situation
Chapter 793 Bai Fan discusses the situation ------
In the middle of the night, there was constant sound of horseshoes in the city of Chang'an. King Li Jiancheng of Jin was easy to find and had been stationed in Chang'an City all year round. However, King Li Yuanba of Chu and Hou Baifan of Lantian were different. These two people were basically in Zhongnan Academy.
Li Yuanba is good at martial arts, the academy is full of masters, and there are a lot of juniors to learn martial arts, and he doesn't need to participate in military affairs, so naturally he doesn't have to live in the palace of Chu to do nothing.
Since Bai Fan's youngest daughter was a little older, he devoted himself to the academy again and began to educate. The military of the Tang Dynasty has become stronger, and now it is governing the local area. If there is a shortage of officials and scholars, it needs to rely on Zhongnan Academy. The academy once competed with the Guozijian and successfully incorporated the Guozijian. Since then, Zhongnan Academy has started to provoke the great cause of national education as a private institution.
When Li Er's messenger found Bai Fan, it was already the next morning. Bai Fan was teaching the students. He rode out slowly when he saw Li Er's warrant. Otherwise, he was going to show the messenger, or He was sent back because he didn't have time to be a counselor to the emperor every day.
Li Yuanba and Bai Fan rode Wanliyun and Saichitu and rushed from Lantian to the palace in an hour. Li Er had summoned the generals of the army and prepared for the worst.
"In short, quickly, something happened to the third brother in the southwest. The enemy used a slow poison, and tens of thousands of people in the city were poisoned. Now the situation is unpredictable. I don't know if the city is still in our hands. I don't know the third brother. It's life or death."
Handing over the urgent secret letter, Li Er said anxiously.
"What? I'll go to the southwest immediately to rescue third brother." Li Yuanba said loudly.
Bai Fan held down Li Yuanba, took the secret letter and read it carefully.
Chronic poison?Confusing people, just one dish can make people eat it and never forget it, the more they eat, the more excited they become?Do you have to have all of them?Just like gambling addiction, food addiction?Why does this sound so opium-like?
How can it be?Did someone use opium here in Datang?
Looking further down, after taking it for a long time, the generals began to have dark circles under their eyes and lost their spirits. Isn't this just drug addiction?
"No, it turned out to be this kind of poison, please wait for me a moment, I need to verify my guess."
After speaking, Bai Fan found a place to sit down, closed his eyes intently, and began to call up the library in his mind to search for information, to see what happened to this poppy's past and present lives.
Although everyone was puzzled, they all looked at Bai Fan. It was obvious that Lan Tianhou already knew the general idea.
After a stick of incense, Bai Fan understood that if the predictions were correct, the poppies in Southwest Tubo either came from Tianzhu or Hu merchants from the Western Regions. It seems that some experts pointed out that the use of opium was discovered so early.
"Your Majesty, if I'm not mistaken, this poison comes from a plant called poppy, which is recorded in the Buddhist scriptures as the flower of Wangyou. It was originally used for medical treatment, but the poison master discovered that this substance has hallucinogenic toxicity. , and refine it into poison.
As the secret letter said, this substance cannot be tested with silver needles, and the poisoned person will not realize it, and because of the hallucination of the poison, it will also produce a dreamlike feeling. addicted.
People who are poisoned more and more cannot do without poison. Over time, their energy and spirit will be exhausted, as if they are consuming their vitality, their complexion will be yellow and lifeless, their bones will not stand up, and they will eventually die. "
This……
Listening to Bai Fan's description, everyone felt chills down their spines. If they were given this kind of poison, would they just tell Lan Tianhou that they would not end well?
"Jane, hurry up and save Saburo." Old Li Yuan urged.
Bai Fan shook his head and said, "If it's really like what the secret letter said, I'm afraid it's too late."
"What? How?"
"Think about it, everyone, how far is Chang'an from Tibet in the southwest? How long does it take for the messenger to arrive here?"
Li Er said in a deep voice: "The eight-hundred-mile express letter has been used for 20 days."
"Yes, in 20 days, if I am the mastermind of this conspiracy, I don't have to wait for the entire city to fall, and all the generals in the city will be poisoned before I can close the net. What's more, thousands of soldiers have already been poisoned when the letter was sent."
Li Yuan slumped back to his seat with a pale face, muttering, that, that...
"Third Uncle's fate may depend on auspicious people and heavenly fortune. The city of Yuhe must have fallen, and it's time for us to prepare for battle."
Li Er clapped his palms on several cases, and said angrily: "You despicable Tubo man, Maogong, with an army of 20, follow me to flatten Tubo to avenge my third brother."
Li Ji succeeded Li Jing as Minister of War, originally planned to belong to Hou Junji, but now Hou Junji was obsessed with the Tang Navy and had no interest in Minister of War, so it fell to the young Li Ji.
