When he reached the door and knocked, the door opened not long after, and a porter in the mansion poked his head out and said, "What's the matter with you, Prime Minister?"
Fang Xuanling said: "This old man is here to visit King Hejian."
The porter said: "His Royal Highness is resting."
Fang Xuanling shook his head, and said: "It's okay, even if the King of Hejian County is resting, it's good for the old man to come and see. By the way, I have something to say to the princess."
The porter's expression changed slightly.
Seeing this scene, Fang Xuanling felt something different in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The old man came here on His Majesty's order, you just go to inform me directly, there is no need to say more."
The concierge froze suddenly.
Fang Xuanling entered directly, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what is the situation?"
The concierge just said, "It's gone, His Highness and the concubine are gone. All the important people in the house disappeared overnight, and I was the only one left guarding the door. I want to leave too, but I don't know where to go. So, I stayed at the mansion. The rest of the people have already left."
Fang Xuanling's complexion changed abruptly.
Li Xiaogong left, this is a big event.
He went straight into the mansion.
Because Fang Xuanling knew where Li Xiaogong lived, because he had been to the Prince's Mansion in Hejian County last time, he went straight to the place where Li Xiaogong lived. But when he entered the courtyard, he found that the courtyard was empty, and it was already empty.
Many people in the house also left.
The entire Hejian County Prince's Mansion was empty in an instant, and there were no other people.
Fang Xuanling's mood was even more heavy.
This is almost the same as Li Jing's situation, all of a sudden, all the people disappeared. Obviously, this disappearance must have been influenced by Du Qi, who arranged for someone to take Li Xiaogong's family away.
Only Du Qi has this energy.
Fang Xuanling turned around and left. He left the Prince's Mansion in Hejian County, and entered the palace in a hurry. Fang Xuanling sighed again when he saw Li Shimin and the smiling Li Shimin.
It turns out that the situation in Suzhou in the Western Regions is now at a stalemate, which is good for Datang, which is good news. Unexpectedly, the news of Li Xiaogong's family leaving suddenly happened again.
Don't let people stop!
Seeing that Fang Xuanling did not speak, Li Shimin took the initiative to say: "Xuanling, why did you enter the palace in such a hurry?"
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, the King of Hejian County has disappeared. All the main personnel in the palace have disappeared. When I went to visit, only the concierge and a few two or three people were left. There are places to go, so I stayed."
brush!
Li Shimin's complexion changed abruptly.
In his mind, it immediately appeared that this was the result of Du Qi's plan, and it must be Du Qi's people who took Li Xiaogong's family away.
Only Du Qi has this energy.
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Tang Zhen, please inform me to let the bad person in charge of monitoring the Hejian County Prince's Mansion come to see me."
"yes!"
Tang Zhen went to deliver the decree immediately.
Li Shimin made arrangements, then looked at Fang Xuanling, and said in a deep voice: "Xuanling, Li Xiaogong's departure has reduced the number of people holding back Du Qi in our hands again. At this point, Du Qi has already taken away His father, and now Li Xiaogong's family. By doing this, Du Qi made it clear that he wanted to cut off all obstacles."
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, the fact that Li Xiaogong is here is of great help to us. Especially when the situation has reached an unstoppable stage, the presence of Li Xiaogong can play a big role. But now, everything has changed. .¡±
"The current situation is not a good development for us. Because there was Su Dingfang first, then Li Jing, and now Li Xiaogong was taken away. It can be seen that there is a group of Du Qi's power in Chang'an City."
"It's like an invisible hand that can manipulate the situation."
Fang Xuanling said: "Even in the worst situation, at this point, Du Qi is able to arrange these people to act, easily assassinate our officials, and even create chaos in Chang'an."
Li Shimin said: "Since Li Xiaogong has escaped, it is definitely impossible to catch him back. After all, it is difficult for us to judge when the other party left, or even which way to leave. So now, the only thing we can do , That is to start planning to insert Du Qi'an's eyeliner in Chang'an, dig out all of them, and kill all these people, so as to stabilize Chang'an."
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty is wise."
Li Shimin said: "You talk about this matter,what can we do about it? "
Fang Xuanling was silent for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, if we really want to do this without leaving any mistakes, we can only arrest all the businessmen belonging to the Xia Kingdom, starting with these people, and interrogating them one by one. As long as they are Du Qi's people, get rid of them all. In this way, we can follow the vine and try to get all of Du Qi's eyeliner. There is no other way, after all, all Du Qi's people are hidden in the dark, we simply don't There is no chance of winning the opponent."
Li Shimin was a little embarrassed.
You must know that the merchants affiliated to the Xia Kingdom are also part of the Datang when they do business in the Datang. These businessmen pay a lot of taxes every month. Once these people are removed, it is easy to cause turmoil. Furthermore, the reduction of taxes will also cause losses to the court.
This is where Li Shimin is in trouble.
It didn't take long, and the bad guys in charge entered.
This person's name is Xu Qing, and he is the person in charge of the bad people arranged by Li Shimin in Chang'an. When he saw Li Shimin, he looked panic-stricken, and knelt down on the ground to salute like a golden mountain and jade pillars.
Li Shimin said: "Tell me, the one who has been staring at Li Xiaogong, why there is no news suddenly."
Xu Qing said: "Your Majesty, our people have indeed been watching all the time, from morning to night. Even after dark, there are people watching. From the beginning to the end, Li Xiaogong never went out."
After a pause, Xu Qing continued: "Even every now and then, we will arrange for people to pretend to visit Li Xiaogong in order to understand Li Xiaogong's situation. Who knows, Li Xiaogong disappeared suddenly."
"Trash!"
Li Shimin scolded.
Xu Qing even fell on the ground with a panicked expression.
He is the person in charge of a small villain with a humble official position. He said: "Your Majesty, I have indeed been carefully watching the Hejian County Prince's Mansion. Li Xiaogong never came out. I don't know about the humble position. Li Xiaogong is How did it disappear?"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Come here, drag Xu Qing down and give him thirty sticks to make a warning to others."
The soldiers entered directly, dragged Xu Qing and left.
Xu Qing never spoke from the beginning to the end.
?Because Li Shimin didn't kill him and left him alive, that's quite a good result.
Li Shimin was silent for a moment, a gleam flashed across his sharp eyes, he looked at Fang Xuanling, and said in a deep voice: "The matter has come to this point, there is nothing to hesitate, kill as soon as possible. Anyone who dares to dislike public opinion, dare to stand up If you come out to object, they will be dealt with one by one. Fang Qing, you can make arrangements, call Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment and bad people to take action, and jointly interrogate and deal with this matter."
"I obey!"
Fang Xuanling immediately asked to resign from the arrangement.
After Fang Xuanling's order was passed down, Chang'an began a large-scale investigation. It belongs to the industry under Du Qi's command. Anyone who stayed in Chang'an was arrested and sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation.
When the news spread, the city was full of ups and downs.
And the news spread quickly.
When the news of the government's large-scale arrests of merchants from Xia Kingdom in Chang'an City reached Suzhou, Du Qi was very angry when he got the news, because Li Shimin's actions had already exceeded his bottom line.
This is wanton arrest.
Du Qi immediately summoned Li Jing and all the members of the cabinet to the tent, directly told about Li Shimin's arrest of Xia Guo merchants, and then said: "What Li Shimin has done has broken the final bottom line. Da Tang dares to do it!" For such a thing, we must be prepared to bear our revenge. Tell me, how do we take action in this campaign?"
"Naturally, a tooth for a tooth and blood for blood."
Shangguanyi spoke immediately.
He has always been a main fighter, especially towards Datang. He continued: "Your Majesty, once Li Shimin arrests countless merchants from Xia Kingdom this time, Xia Kingdom will not respond. Then the next step, I am afraid Li Shimin The methods are even more brutal. It is not only targeted at the merchants of the Xia Kingdom in Chang¡¯an, but also other merchants of the Xia Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty.¡± (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
