    ?

    In Chang'an City, east of the city.

    In an ordinary residence, more than ten people gathered in the study.  The person sitting at the top was in his early thirties, with a thin body, three short beards, and a fair face, but a pair of triangular eyes with a hint of gloom, giving the impression that no one should enter.

    This person's name is Guo Huai, and he is the person in charge of the bad guys in Chang'an City.  In fact, before Guo Huai, there were previous responsible persons in charge of bad people, but the previous responsible persons had all been transferred away to take charge of affairs in Xia Kingdom.  It is precisely because the bad people in Chang'an will change from time to time, so from the beginning to the end, the bad people in Chang'an have never been exposed.

    The reason why Guo Huai summoned the people under his command was that he received a message from Du Qi outside the city, asking him to tell the people about Li Daozong's plan to blow up Chang'an, and at the same time organize the people to pack up and salute, get ready to leave their houses, and gather in the morning after tomorrow  Go to the gate of the city.

    Guo Huai looked at the crowd and said slowly: "Your Majesty's army has already reached the outside of the city. Breaking the city is just around the corner. Now that you are called together, it is His Majesty who has ordered us to release the news that Li Daozong is buried everywhere in the city.  gunpowder."

    "On the day the city is broken, Li Daozong will put all his eggs in one basket and blow up Chang'an City directly."

    "Our task is to tell the news to all the people in Chang'an City, so that the people know the news. In addition, we must also tell all the people that His Majesty will attack Ximen the morning after tomorrow, and let the people gather there to prevent the city from being attacked.  When the door was broken open, there was a loss because Li Daozong lit the gunpowder."

    Guo Huai said in a deep voice: "Finally, when the people gathered behind the west gate, we still have to mobilize the people to form an offensive, to cooperate with His Majesty from inside the city, and even try to open the city gate to welcome His Majesty's army into the city."

    Everyone had smiles on their faces when they heard it.  Du Qi broke the city, they are all heroes.

    "Boss Guo, I have a question."

    Suddenly, someone spoke.

    Guo Huai said: "Speak directly, don't talk nonsense."

    The person who spoke was very young, a young man in his early twenties. He said, "Boss, Your Majesty will attack the city the day after tomorrow. We will start to act now. Once we do, the time of His Majesty's attack will be leaked. At that time, Li Daozong will  After getting the news, he is very likely to take measures. Even, he is very likely to refute the rumors. Does Li Daozong not admit such a thing?"

    Guo Huai shook his head and said, "In front of His Majesty, Li Daozong said that he was going to blow up Chang'an City. Countless soldiers on the tower knew about this matter, so don't worry about it. Besides, Your Majesty has clearly stated that he will attack the city the day after tomorrow.  , even if Li Daozong knows the time of His Majesty's attack, it doesn't matter, this is an upright conspiracy."

    When everyone heard it, they all lost their opinions.

    Guo Huai flicked his sleeves and said: "Let's start to act. Your Majesty's intention is to let all the people know about this matter. Let the people spurn Datang, let the people spurn Li Daozong. As long as this task is achieved, everything will be done.  No problem. Soldiers are precious, and I will give you half a day. Within today, you must spread the news thoroughly so that all the people in Chang'an City know about it."

    Everyone responded in unison.

    Guo Huai finally said: "In this city of Chang'an, apart from ordinary people, there are also some big businessmen and some aristocratic families. This time when the news comes out, they won't be able to sit still and take action. They will deal with Li Daozong and add trouble to Li Daozong.  .We just wait and see what happens."

    Everyone said that there is no problem.

    One by one, no more words, turned around and went down to make arrangements.  Guo Huai's more than a dozen bad people have different identities, and not all of them are at the bottom.  Some bad people at the bottom are ordinary people.  Even, bad people include not only men, but also women, such as ordinary women and children, even women in brothels in Goulan, or some low-level officials, etc., which are quite widespread.

    In a short time, the news spread.

    Countless people in Chang'an City knew the news that Li Daozong was going to blow up Chang'an.

    Many people changed color one after another.

    Today, there are almost no businessmen from the Xia Kingdom who stay in Chang'an City to do business. After all, after Li Shimin captured the merchants from the Xia Kingdom, the merchants who stayed in Chang'an were mainly from the Tang Dynasty.

    Among the merchants in Chang'an, the leader is Han Yun, who is mainly engaged in cement, tea, and grain businesses. After the merchants in Xia Kingdom retreated, Han Yun seized the opportunity to rise rapidly and established a scale in Gyeonggi-do, forming the current state.  scale.

    In the hall of the Han family at this moment, Han Yungao was sitting on the main seat, and businessmen were sitting below him.

    These are businessmen who stayed in Chang'an to do business.

    ?Some run bookstores, some run restaurants, some run tea shops, and some run fabric shops.Those in the silk and satin business, in short, the businessmen who stayed in Chang'an and had some strength, all gathered in Han Yun's house.  After all, Han Yun has the largest business and the greatest influence.  Especially Han Yun's family is quite powerful.

    "Treasurer Han, the whole city of Chang'an has already spread the word. It is said that the king of Jiangxia is guarding the city and intends to destroy everything. Once the Xia army breaks through the city, he will blow up the city."

    Some businessmen spoke, worried.

    Merchants who do business have shops, warehouses, and many stockpiles in Chang'an.  Once Chang'an is bombed, their shops and goods are fine if they are not bombed, but once they are bombed, their hard work for many years will be in vain.

    "Treasurer Han, you are our leader, and we need you to take the lead! This matter must be properly resolved. We must persuade Li Daozong to give up blowing up Chang'an City."

    "That's right, he can't be allowed to blow up Chang'an."

    "Li Daozong doesn't want to live, we still want to live, and our business is here. Once Chang'an City is destroyed, our hard work will be gone. We can't let him do whatever he wants."

    One by one businessmen kept talking.

    Everyone was chattering, with worried expressions on their faces, and even anger on their faces.  Because what Li Daozong did was really nonsense, he didn't want to live anymore, and he had to drag others to be buried with him.

    Han Yunian is nearly fifty, but he is well maintained. He stroked the beard under his chin, and said slowly: "Everyone, I understand your worries, and I am also worried about myself! The old man's business in Chang'an was built with great difficulty.  stand up."

    "Nowadays, it has finally achieved scale. Once Chang'an City is destroyed, everything will be gone. So at the moment, I don't want such a thing to happen. It's just that the old man thinks that simply lobbying Li Daozong may not be effective! After all, we  They are all businessmen, and their influence in front of Li Daozong is very weak."

    Han Yun said: "Once Li Daozong is angered, under his anger, he can completely dispatch troops to level us."

    When everyone heard the words, they all nodded in agreement.

    Even more worried.

    Han Yun paused for a while, and then said: "The old man thinks that the only way right now is to unite the big families in the city. Now in Chang'an City, there is the Hongnong Yang family. Although the Yang family has no high-ranking officials in the court, the Yang family is not weak.  The head of the Yang family, Yang Song, is in his early sixties and is a master of Confucian classics."

    "So let's ask Yang Song to come forward."

    "At the same time, we have also assembled a group of forces. We have so many businesses, each of which has its own private soldiers. It should be no problem to gather three or four thousand people. We don't want to destroy Li Daozong, because our strength is now  It is definitely impossible to deal with Li Daozong."

    Han Yun said: "So now we ask Yang Song to meet Li Daozong and ask him to give up blowing up Chang'an. If he wants to stick to it, we have nothing to do with it. If he wants to blow up Chang'an, we will never stop."

    When everyone heard it, they all agreed.

    They are businessmen, they can ignore other things, they only care about their own industry.  One by one, they asked Han Yun to talk to Yang Song on their behalf.  In addition, the major families also quickly expressed their opinions, each saying the number of troops they could give.

    After all matters were agreed upon, everyone was still waiting at Han Yun's mansion for the time being, while Yang Song had already left the city in a carriage and started to visit Yang Song's mansion.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
