Chapter 184 Discussion (1st update)

Zeng Tai was the prime minister personally chosen by Li Heng after he succeeded to the throne, and was also a capable minister left to Li Heng by the late emperor. Zeng Tai studied hard since he was a child, and achieved fame in his early twenties. Also from a county He started from a senior position, but he was an honest and honest official and devoted himself to serving the people. He worked as a county magistrate in various places for more than 20 years, but he still worked hard and was praised by the people in every place he served. It was not until the reputation of being honest and wise spread to the ears of the late emperor that Zeng Tai's official career became smooth. some.

The late emperor once said that Zeng Tai was a man of integrity and virtuous nature. He always had a heart of loyalty and filial piety, was good at benevolent government, devoted himself to the people, and was quite talented.

Li Heng thinks highly of Zeng Tai even more, but Zeng Tai is already over 60 years old, and the old diseases caused by his youth often recur, and he inevitably wants to retire and return to his hometown, but Li Heng cannot leave for the time being. He received various rewards, ordered the imperial physician to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even searched for famous doctors among the people.

……

Zeng Tai returned to his mansion from court, and before he could sit down, the young eunuch came to announce it. Zeng Tai knew that if it wasn't a big deal, the officials wouldn't bother him like this, but how could he have imagined that it was such a big deal!

Li Hengping withdrew the serving eunuchs, leaving only three people in the palace. After Zeng Tai read the book, he forgot to breathe for a moment.

Li Heng said with a sullen face:

"If you train a man-eating evil ghost with a living person's life, can all the people in the world still live in peace? If this palace and this throne are not given up to others, why are you waiting? This world will soon be like purgatory ! "

Zeng Tai calmed down a little at this time. He first glanced at Chen Zhong. If he wanted to cover up this kind of thing, it would be handled by the people of the Imperial City Department. The officials would not come to him to discuss it. , now that he is here, they are going to start a big war.

Therefore, Zeng Tai said:

"This matter must be investigated to the end. Both Deputy Envoy Yu and Song Tixing mentioned those books and destroyed them as soon as possible. There is no room for loss! The first and second persons related , leave no one behind! Send troops to investigate the way back to the capital from Yang'an County, and kill those eight disciples outside the capital! Thirdly, Deputy Ambassador Yu transferred! The soldiers entered the mountain and inspected every inch to make sure no harm was left behind. Then the mountain was sealed and no one was allowed to enter the mountain for five years. Fourthly, all Yang'an County government officers were arrested. Your Majesty is also requested to order replacement officials to take office as soon as possible. Such unbelievable things happened. The local people did not understand the reason for the incident, and the county government was in name only. Officials were assigned as soon as possible to handle the political affairs. "

Li Heng nodded and looked at Chen Zhong. Chen Zhong said: "What Prime Minister Zeng said is absolutely true, but those eight disciples are carrying ferocious ghosts. I am afraid that it is not possible to retain them with manpower. Yes, although Song Tixing mentioned Sanqing Temple... But the old slave feels that Wu Chen has to do this."

Li Heng frowned: "Right now. Laojie Mountain cannot be separated from Wu Chen. Everything there is weird. If it cannot be completely destroyed..."

Li Heng did not continue, but the three of them knew the consequences if they could not be completely destroyed. These two excerpts were written At that time, Wu Chen was still fighting alone, in the process of destroying the cave, not knowing what the outcome would be, or whether he could come back alive.

Zeng Tai thought for a while and said:

"First dispatch officials to Yang'an County as soon as possible to handle political affairs, but must not interfere with the Imperial City Department's handling of the case, and then dispatch troops to intercept along the way. Even if it is dangerous, we can buy time and find a few San Taoist priest of Qingguan, is Yuan Tianshi near Kyoto? The official ordered him to come to Kyoto immediately. If Yuan Tianshi is there, "

Li Heng nodded and said: "Choose a capable person and send him to rescue first. Chen Zhong arranges interceptions on the way. Logically speaking, Taoist masters should be able to handle it. Yuan Tianshi...I also ordered people. Go and invite me, just..."

"Your Majesty, you must think twice," Chen Zhong bowed.

Zeng Tai frowned tightly. He knew what Chen Zhong meant. Will all the Taoists who participated in the event be still alive after the incident? This is like taking someone who knows how to swim into the water to catch a big fish. They know where it is, and they may go there secretly next time. If they don't know how to swim, it is useless even if they know where it is.

What about Wu Chen? It stands to reason that Wu Chen is Chen Zhong's subordinate. Chen Zhong is now persuading the officials to think twice, but is he already prepared to kill Wu Chen after the matter is over?

Li Heng waved his hand and said: "Things have priorities. Arrange them first, and then wait for the news from Yang'an County. Song Gu and Yu Shi'an's news has arrived. From your side, whether Wu Chen succeeds or not, it should be fast. Here we are.”

“Yes, I told my subordinates before I left. If the secret letter arrives, it can be sent to the palace."

Zeng Tai asked: "Is this Wu Chen the beggar who performed meritorious service in Anping County?"

Chen Zhong rolled his eyes inadvertently. , said: "Yes, although I have some abilities, I don't obey discipline..."

"Deputy Ambassador Yu praised him very much. There seemed to be some misunderstanding between the two before. It shows that Wu Chen has some real abilities, otherwise Yu Shi'an would not have bowed his head." Zeng Tai said it easily, but it was clearly a test. .

Chen Zhong was just thinking about how to respond when he heard movement outside the palace. Li Heng asked loudly: "What's the matter?"

Liu Jinzhong hurriedly replied: "Report to your Majesty, the Imperial City Secretary is on business. Gu Shiming brought a letter, saying that it should be handed over to Commander Chen immediately..."

"Send it in!"

Liu Jinzhong held the letter in his hands, carefully delivered it to Li Heng, and then Quickly retreated.

Li Heng couldn't wait to open the letter, and Chen Zhong's eyes flashed. He felt that Wu Chen would definitely write this letter personally if he came back alive, and he also believed that Wu Chen would come back alive. The timing was just right, just in time for the official to come back. Let’s take a look at Wu Chen’s writing style.

After reading the secret letter and handing it to Chen Zhong, Li Heng sighed: "With Wu Chen here, God has blessed me with a prosperous country!"

Chen Zhong frowned and read it carefully. After reading the letter, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Although I felt a little regretful, I still breathed a sigh of relief.

Zeng Tai quickly grabbed the letter and read it carefully.

The excerpts written by Song Gu and Yu Shian mainly wrote about what they saw and heard in the cave and some inferences, while the letter Wu Chen asked the second year of high school students to write mostly contained the results that had been found out. For example, the eight apprentices were killed. The culprit of the five hundred soldiers, what sorcery they knew, what they brought, and where they were going. The person in Prince Narumi's palace in Kyoto was not really Prince Narumi.

How could Li Heng not sigh!

In anger and relief, Li Heng's face turned obviously pale. He said:

"The most important thing now is to mobilize troops to seal Longgu Mountain first. Those eight people will take the monsters to Longgu Mountain." Gushan must have planned it long ago. What is there in Longgushan? If it is the fake Li Yi in Prince Cheng's palace, where is he really? If eight disciples betrayed Su Chang unnecessarily, then someone had betrayed him! Who else was involved in this matter? This person must be waiting in Longgu Mountain, he is the real Zhang San!" >
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Sealing Longgu Mountain is a top priority, and finding the whereabouts of the eight people is also an urgent matter." Chen Zhong said.

"These eight people have the ability to create illusions. Who can stop them?" Zeng Tai asked, holding up the letter.

Chen Zhong said: "According to Wu Chen's wishes, first find the traces of the eight people and tell Wu Chen that he may be able to deal with it. Judging from the time, Your Majesty Hongfu, we still have a head start. We just sealed Longgu Mountain... I'm afraid. There will be fish that slip through the net.”(End of Chapter)
