I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

He didn't know about the others, but the armor and knives in front of him were no joke. Fortunately, the knives were not strictly controlled by Datang.

But armor is different. The management of armor in the entire Tang Dynasty is extremely strict. If armor is made, it must be reported or approved, and if it is preserved, it must be registered.

As a result, a lot of them were found in this search, and he was sweating at this moment. If it is calculated, he is all responsible for it. After all, he is in charge of the city defense of the entire Chang'an city.

In the end, before the stone in his heart fell, another subordinate came to report that he found something extraordinary in the backyard of a Japanese house, which seemed to be a dismantled eight-ox crossbow.

What the hell!

The General Wuwei wanted to die at this time. If the matter of the armor can be explained, then the appearance of a big killer like the eight-ox crossbow is not an ordinary thing.

After all, armor and knives can be crafted secretly, but only the army can have the eight-ox crossbow. If this thing is used for assassination, it is simply a big killer that cannot be defended against.

If the General Wuwei was just sweating before, then his heart is ashamed now.

Holding the last hope, he hurried to the place where he found it and took a look at it unwillingly, then he was completely speechless.

That's right, it's the eight-ox crossbow, and it's still made by the military!

He doesn't have the time to think about how the eight-ox crossbow made by the military got into the hands of the Japanese.

With staggering steps, the general finally reached the Ganlu Hall, bowed his hands to the servant, let the servant go in to report, and then walked in with his head down after getting permission.

Of course, he didn't just wait for death blindly. After entering, he took off the helmet immediately and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the last general deserves death, please punish him!"

At this time, Li Shimin was discussing with Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui how to reprimand the Wa Kingdom, and he was a little confused when he saw the leading general of Wuwei come in to plead guilty.

"Wuwei, get up first and tell me clearly, what crime are you asking for?"

Wu Wei, that is, the leading general of Wu Wei, didn't intend to get up at all, and continued to say with his head down,

"Your Majesty, in the process of arresting the Japanese just now, the general not only found armor and knives, but also found an eight-ox crossbow. These weapons were actually hidden in Chang'an City. As a city defense officer, the general did not notice it. The last general deserves death!"

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard Ba Niu Nu's name!

Chapter 548

Hearing Wu Wei's plea, not to mention Li Shimin was stunned, even Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui were stunned.

Especially Du Ruhui, who also served as Minister of the Ministry of War before. Nima, Ba Niu crossbow is theoretically an ordnance, and it is also under his jurisdiction.

Now there is actually a Japanese man who got the Ba Niu crossbow from nowhere. Isn't this slapping him in the face in front of His Majesty?

But Li Shimin froze for a moment and turned into a rage!

What the hell!

It is not enough to kill King Qin in Goryeo, is this to assassinate Zhen in Chang'an City?

That's right, in Li Shimin's opinion, what is the use of preparing the eight-ox crossbow in Chang'an City other than preparing to assassinate him?

Is there anyone who is higher and more honorable than him?

That's right, Li Shimin, who was a little arrogant, took the initiative to target himself very angrily.

In his opinion, this group of Japanese tried their best to get the eight-ox crossbow, and they had no other goal except to assassinate him.

However, in this way, these Japanese people are really crazy!

Before Li Shimin could speak, Changsun Wuji spoke with a face as heavy as water,

"A thorough investigation! It must be thoroughly investigated! Armor and knives are not too difficult, but the eight-ox crossbow is too scary. Now the old man really wants to know how these outsiders got the eight-ox crossbow!"

"Without anyone's help, the old man will never believe that these barbarians can get the eight-ox crossbow from the army!"

"Now my Tang Dynasty Vientiane is updated and flourishing day by day, but there are still people helping foreign enemies to bring harm to Chang'an. Hehe, I would like to see who is so courageous!"

Changsun Wuji's words were extremely straightforward. No wonder, as the actual prime minister of Datang, he sincerely hopes that this country will become stronger.

After all, both publicly and privately, he and the eldest grandson's family are already bound to this country, and maybe he will have conflicts with other families in terms of some interests.

But when it comes to the outside world, in his view, everyone must be united in the same front. It doesn't matter if you fight each other internally, but if you dare to communicate with foreign countries and snakes and rats when you are outside, then that's not a problem. Sorry, one of them died in the end.

Du Ruhui nodded when he heard Changsun Wuji's words. In this regard, his point of view was the same as Changsun Wuji's. There was absolutely no appeasement for this kind of guy who cheated on others, and he must be severely punished.

Li Shimin also acquiesced with a dark face. This damn has started to make a lot of crossbows. Does it mean that if you continue to do it, you will rebel?

Before he could say anything, Wuwei's deputy general also rushed to the palace, and sent Wuwei a list of confiscated supplies through the servants outside the Ganlu Hall.

This is a temporary list that Wuwei rushed out as soon as possible. Wuwei's lieutenant knew that he was pleading guilty in the palace, so he hurriedly sent this item.

Anyway, the most sensitive Ba Niu crossbow has been reported, so maybe the others can be redeemed.

Wu Wei was also a smart man, and he ran to the apse as soon as he got it, and handed the list directly to Li Shimin.

Then Li Shimin exploded again!

"How unreasonable! Such barbarians dare to be so rampant! I want them to die!"

Li Shimin can't help but get angry. On the entire list, it is clearly written, one eight-ox crossbow, more than 1000 sets of armor, more than [-] knives, nearly [-] books, a map of Chang'an, a map of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and a map of the Great Tang Dynasty. Tang military equipment information, Tang Dynasty official information...

If this nima still says that the Japanese have no idea about Datang, I'm afraid he is playing him as a fool.

If Zhang Nuo was here, he would be able to see right away that this was actually the strategy of the Wa Kingdom. On the one hand, he was learning the advanced technology of the Tang Dynasty, learning it respectfully and respectfully as if worshiping a teacher.

But at the same time, they will start to prepare carefully, always thinking about killing their "teacher", and then eating meat and sucking blood!

Isn't the Japanese country of later generations learning from the West in all kinds of humility, and at the same time secretly preparing for backstabbing.

This seems to have become a kind of national commonality among them, and things like killing teachers have simply become an inseparable tyrannical factor in their genes.

But obviously, whether Li Shimin or Zhang Nuo this time, they don't intend to let this country, which is humble and respectful on the surface, but is actually ready to bite like a poisonous snake, continue to run rampant.

Some things are better swept into the dust of history!

Let’s not talk about Chang’an, let’s look back to Pyongyang City, because it was discovered earlier, and at the same time, the supervision is stronger, and the arrest is also stronger. With the existence of Koryo Island and the Tsushima Strait, it is much more convenient to come to Korea than to go to Datang.

Therefore, the power of the Japanese country found out in Goryeo is much greater than that of Datang.

In fact, because of hiding in Korea for a long time, many Japanese people have become exactly the same as the local people in Korea in appearance. Whether it is food, clothing, housing, transportation or language customs, they are basically invisible.

Even if the assassins dispatched this time were not those warriors who have always adhered to some warrior traditions and must use traditional weapons, traditional dress and traditional hairstyles, maybe Zhang Nuo might not be able to find out that these people are Japanese.

It is really because they have been planning in Korea for too long, and they have hidden it too deeply.

As for this city-wide raid, when the city was closed and the arrests were still underway, clues were cut off several times because of the suicide of key personnel.

Fortunately, Baiqisi is strong here, anyway, this is not Chang'an after all, there are not so many people who cannot be offended, and it is not convenient to ask, this place is all under military control.

Whenever someone commits suicide, Bai Qisi directly pulls all the people around the house together to start the interrogation, starting from the people who enter and leave. It is by this stupid method that the more people are arrested, the more people are involved. Things are also getting bigger.

At the same time, several secret rooms hidden in the backyard of the house, knives, armor, etc. were found, and by the way, some Koreans who had resentment against Datang and Zhang Nuo were also arrested this time. exposed in.

They tried in vain to overthrow Datang's rule here through the actions of the Japanese people, and even thought that they would be able to respond to everyone and rise up, maybe they could become the king of Korea and create their own dynasty.

But how did they know that the Wa people also wanted to establish a kingdom here?

However, Zhang Nuo didn't care how many bullshit things there were, he just wanted to know how many ghosts and creatures under his rule were doing things secretly.

It just so happens that the New Year is coming, so let's do the New Year's cleaning!

Chapter 549

Arresting Japanese, arresting spies, arresting internal thieves, ransacking homes, interrogating...

The entire city of Chang'an and Pyongyang has fallen into a state of madness as the new year is approaching.

The Baiqisi responsible for these matters are all experienced, knowing that the longer the delay, the less things can be found, so they searched and arrested in the city day and night.

It wasn't until New Year's Day that the two sides completely stopped!

The final result was simply outrageous. The two sides arrested a total of more than 6000 people involved in the case.

Seeing this result, even Zhang Nuo was shocked. You must know that this is the person involved in the case, not the result of the order he told Li Shimin to arrest all Japanese people.

In other words, the assassination of him alone involved a total of 6000 people from Datang and Goryeo.

Judging from the results of the interrogation, the assassination of Zhang Nuo was really just a part of their plan. Judging from the current situation, they plagiarized technology, stole high-yield seeds, kidnapped technicians, assassinated military and political officials, and invaded Goryeo land. There are detailed plans for various aspects such as disrupting the situation in the Tang Dynasty.

But what makes Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo rarely smile even at the New Year banquet is one of the very inconspicuous pieces of information.

"It has been verified that both the Ba Niu Nu and the Goryeo assassination incidents involved Buddhism!"

Zhang Nuo and Li Shimin are not fools, they clearly know that when religion starts to get involved, the whole thing will become extremely troublesome!

This is not the time to defend against foreign enemies. If a foreign enemy invades, it is enough to directly press down on everyone's front.

But religion is different. Wearing the cloak of hypocrisy, he can really deceive people and people's hearts. It is different from other confrontations on the surface. He is an enemy of religion. cause civil unrest.

That's why Zhang Nuo and Li Shimin have been sombre these days, and they can't see a trace of happiness.

When anyone finds that the religion under his rule has begun to involve royal power, diplomacy, and even conspiracy to rebel, he will feel bad.

Zhang Nuo was especially unhappy. He had seen jokes about extermination of Buddha in many online information and novels, but in fact he really didn't have much feeling for Buddhism.

After all, the temples of later generations can become business places that can be contracted, and the so-called religion is no longer mysterious but full of money.

He didn't know about the current Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, but in fact it should be much more filthy than the later generations. After all, the later generations will at most cheat some money, and this era is true because of the low level of knowledge of the people. You will become obsessed and blindly believe.

Even if Zhang Nuo didn't try to understand it, if he casually inquired from the Baiqisi and the guards around him, he would be able to hear about many cases of fanatics who abandoned their families and children, and sold their properties to "dedicate" to the temple.

Although Baiqisi is not the police officer in charge of the cases of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple, after all, he is the intelligence department that monitors the world for Li Shimin, so he also knows some information about Buddhism, many of which are filthy things .

Koryo is fine, the spread of Buddhism is not enough after all, so Zhang Nuo directly issued an order, and the temples on the entire Koryo side suffered disaster. It is to dig out many hidden wanted criminals and concealed population.

At the same time, Zhang Nuo directly issued a policy that all religious places such as temples and Taoist temples must be reported before they can be opened. Indoor monks who do not have official certificates issued after the official review are all regarded as cultists, and at least they will be locked up in the yamen to eat in prison. , or directly decapitate.

That's not all, Zhang Nuo also directly stipulated that from now on, all offerings provided by believers in religious places must be taxed, and land must also be taxed, and they will no longer be treated equally as before.

It's a pity that such a policy cannot be implemented in the pass for the time being. After all, whether the Buddhist sect of Korea or the Daoist sect really doesn't have much influence, it is different in the pass.

Intertwined and intertwined interests are not enough to describe the situation of Buddhism in Guannei. From the fact that Buddhism participated in the various actions of the Wa Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty this time, it can be seen that Buddhism is no longer a single religion, but has begun to set foot in In many fields such as politics and economics.

Moreover, Li Shimin knew very well that even if Buddhism was involved, it would be impossible to get the Ba Niu from the army without the assistance of other people.

But because of this, Li Shimin has a headache. He doesn't have the slightest favor for Buddhism, but after all, Buddhism has a far-reaching influence and spread widely in the Tang Dynasty, and the people don't know how many Buddhists there are, even among officials and their families. , there is no shortage of such existences, if this is not handled properly, I really don't know what will happen!

Thinking of all the troubles involved, Li Shimin felt very depressed, and in the end he simply ignored the sacrifice that he would get up early tomorrow, and rushed out of the city overnight.

He wanted to use the telegram to chat with Zhang Nuo to see how to deal with this matter, otherwise he would always feel bad.

Although Zhang Nuo didn't stay in the telegraph room, Xingben has always been there. Now he has been withdrawn from the position of commander of the personal guard. Although he has not been convicted, at least he can only stay in the telegraph room as a soldier for a short time. up.

So when Zhang Nuo, who was a little upset and unable to sleep, saw Li Shimin's telegram from Xingben in a hurry, he simply sat in the telegraph room.

"Brother, what do you think about the Buddhism matter? If it is not handled properly, it may cause riots!"

Looking at the telegram in front of him, Zhang Nuo didn't reply immediately, but began to think seriously, and at the same time recalled in his mind the plots of the conflicts with Buddhism in the novels and the subsequent processing.

However, he wouldn't just rely on the plots and plots in the novel to start pointing out the country, inspiring the words, and talking about thousands of households.

After all, a novel is a novel after all, and everything is written by the author. As long as the author is willing, it is a trivial matter for one person to single out 10 people. On the contrary, readers will say that the writing is good and cool.

But reality is reality after all. Every decision and suggestion made by Zhang Nuo actually involves the livelihood and future of tens of millions of people.

Zhang Nuo didn't want to regret it in the future. He might not be capable enough, or he might not have thought through thoroughly, but at least he had to try his best to think about these things.

In this way, even if the future results do not meet expectations, he can face it calmly.

Chapter 550

Zhang Nuo just sat quietly on the chair, thinking slowly and carefully. Li Shimin seemed to know that Zhang Nuo was thinking, and he didn't send another telegram to urge him.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Nuo took the tablet and began typing word by word.

"Old Li, you must be cautious about Buddhism. The most important thing is to make the shiny golden signboard of Buddhism no longer dazzling. How about using newspapers to report all the filthy things about Buddhism?"

Li Shimin's reply was much faster than before. It seems that he has been using the tablet to chat a lot recently.

"Brother, this matter is certainly feasible, but the newspaper alone may not be enough, how about adding the mansion newspaper?"

Zhang Nuo nodded, because he didn't think enough about it. Although the newspaper has made great progress under the development of Wei Zheng for more than half a year, and its credibility is also very high, it is still not as good as the palace newspaper that is specially used to convey information within the imperial court. of.

However, Li Shimin was willing to take out all the residence newspapers to smear Buddhism, and it seemed that he was really angry with those bald donkeys, and he planned to solve it once and for all.

"Old Li, you've only been here for two days, what kind of Buddhist information do you really have in your hands? Don't steal chickens and lose money, but get beaten up by Buddhism instead!"

"Don't worry, although the matter against the Japanese was only carried out in the past two days, the investigation on Buddhism actually started a long time ago, and there are really a lot of news about Buddhism here!"

Seeing Li Shimin's answer, Zhang Nuo also heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that it would be bad for Li Shimin to foolishly play with exposure because he had no idea at all.
