Chapter 126 Surveillance and utilization?
After Emperor Wu took two sips of tea to moisten his dry throat, he picked up the top secret book on the desk and read it.
I flipped through two pages, all of which were filled with information about a man named Xing Yu in Dongdu.
It says that during the Qingming Festival last year, Xing Yu, who was returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors, was on his way down the mountain because the steps were slippery. Xing Yu was ready to wear a shroud, but Xing Yu, who had been unconscious, woke up on the third day.
As soon as he woke up, he behaved strangely. He couldn't remember his children or his wife, which was fine, but he didn't even know his last name.
Xue Yao's secret book also carefully wrote that within five days after Xing Yu woke up, the Xing family invited many Taoist priests and monks from nearby Taoist temples to their home.
After that, a lot of new products came out in Dongdu, such as the lard soap that Li Sanniang had used before.
Lard soap left Dongdu and came to Chang'an because it was cheap and plentiful. However, in fact, there are also charcoal soap, goat milk soap, etc. in Dongdu.
When Emperor Wu saw this, he didn’t think anything was wrong. The next paragraph said that at the beginning of this year, a new shop was opened under the name of the Xing family in Dongdu. The shop was called a supermarket. It didn’t look like a specialized fabric shop or jewelry shop. Unlike shops and rice shops that only sell a single item, they sell everything and have everything.
When Emperor Wu saw the word "supermarket", he smiled knowingly. After traveling ten years, it was really a long time coming.
At the end of these two pages, it is written that Xing Yu brought his wife and children to Chang'an City three months ago, in the name of visiting Emperor Wu's Wanshou Festival. Now the family lives in the Xing family's house in Yongle Square in Chang'an. middle.
The third page is short, with only more than half of the space for writing, and it is about a dead man.
Jiangnan East Road, Qiantang County, a woman surnamed Liu in Shangweizi Village woke up after a cold. She could no longer speak human words and could only scream and yell.
At first, Mrs. Liu’s family thought she was crazy because of the cold, high fever, but later on, this woman could only eat and drink, and she knew how to dress. She even peeed and pooped as casually as an animal. Find a place.
After a heavy rain, farmers who got up early to work in the fields discovered Liu's floating body in the pond.
The public statement from Mrs. Liu's family is that they were busy working in the fields and did not care about Mrs. Liu, so she ran out madly, lost her footing, fell into the pond and drowned.
In the countryside, that's all.
The Liu family informed Li Zheng first, and Li Zheng reported it to the government. After it was determined that the mad woman had slipped and drowned, the Liu family collected the body.
When Emperor Wu saw this, he didn’t say which time and space and what kind of life had penetrated the Liu family’s body, but this mysterious drowning was really not the work of the Liu family?
The last paragraph of this page says that spies in Qiantang County went to the local government office to check. At that time, the county police went to check the records. Each child has an alibi.
The spies went to the village to investigate in their own unique way and found that the Liu family had never thought of abandoning Ms. Liu since she went crazy. The Liu family still had a conscience and just treated it like raising a dog that could not guard the house. Ridu gave her some food, then tied a rope around her waist and tied her inside the house.
On the night of the heavy rain, all the members of the Liu family went to the fields to clean the ditches, leaving only three children at home, the oldest being no more than seven years old and the youngest just over three years old.
This allowed Mr. Liu to break away from the rope and run outside. He lost his footing and fell into the pond and drowned.
Emperor Wu continued to look down and said without raising his eyes: "The Liu family's spy is still there?"
"Back to the saint, he is still there. He has been monitoring for two months and has not seen him. Exception.”
Emperor Wu nodded, "In another month, if nothing happens, just withdraw."
"Promise."
The next three pages are about a man who has been captured by the Guards The spies monitored intelligence on people in the military for nearly a decade.
After Emperor Wu traveled through time, he established his own direct guard army only half a year later. Xue Yao was not the first guard commander. The previous guard commander was Xue Yao’s brother Xue Mu. .
Xue Mu was the second one. The first one was a confidant appointed by Emperor Wu. This confidant also died trying to monitor this man in the army.
Xue Mu was involved in the imperial strife and was assassinated. Therefore, although the position of the Guards Commander was considered to be a close official of Emperor Wu, it was also very dangerous.
In order to investigate why his brother was assassinated, Xue Yao accepted the official position of Guards Commander given by Emperor Wu.
The person who has been under surveillance for ten years is Du Qinghui, a naval general with great military ability who was deeply feared by Emperor Wu.
The first time Emperor Wu noticed Du Qinghui was in a secret report handed over by the guards' spies, saying that a small town near the sea in the south was harassed by Japanese pirates. At that time, the name was Du Qinghui, who was still just a small flag. He led his team of only ten people on a méngchōng and defeated two large Japanese pirate ships. Not only did he kill dozens of people, but he also seized a lot of supplies.
At first, Emperor Wu just wanted to cultivate outstanding naval talents, but later Du Qinghui participated in many battles, and was promoted from a small flag to a general flag. Later, when Xing Guogong Su Dingfang went to Baekje, Du Qinghui followed him all the way, and when he returned, he was already a hundred households. .
What caught Emperor Wu's attention was that Du Qinghui hated Japanese pirates very much. All the Japanese pirates he met were beheaded and killed, and no prisoners were taken. Even if the navy patrol encountered ships of civilians from the Japanese country, they would still kill them. That's right, later he even applied for the use of large ships to attack the Japanese country.
Everyone knows that the thank you gift Li Sanniang received before contained white money. Yes, Emperor Wu agreed to Du Qinghui’s decision. The silver mines on the Japanese islands were destroyed during the naval battle. Occupied by the Tang Dynasty, the silver mined was smelted and transported back to the mainland of the Tang Dynasty on large ships.
The information about Du Qinghui is described in detail. Except for what he eats every day and when he goes to bed, all the major events in the past three months are written down one by one. above.
Especially where he met people from which family, what he talked about, and what actions he took, all written in concise language.
Emperor Wu knew that Du Qinghui must have known that Emperor Wu had traveled through time, just as Emperor Wu knew that Du Qinghui had traveled through time.
Earlier, the two tested each other, and Emperor Wu's confidant, the first commander of the Guards, died as a result.
Later, the two openly agreed that the peaceful life of the people of Tang Dynasty was the bottom line.
When Emperor Wu saw the mention at the end that Du Qinghui was preparing a birthday gift for her on the Longevity Festival, he felt depressed, but he knew that he was already celebrating his birthday at the age of his destiny.
"Xue Yao, what is the birthday gift Du Qinghui gave me? Have you found out?"
"Replying to the saint, it seems to be a bonsai made of rare and precious corals in the sea. There is another thing in General Du's secret room. In order not to arouse suspicion, the spies have not entered, so the contents are unknown."
In fact, Emperor Wu was not very interested in knowing what kind of birthday gift the civil and military officials would give her, because if you suddenly change from a young man to a middle-aged man, even if you have ten years to adapt, you still can't accept such a body. , let alone celebrate his passing years.
This time Emperor Wu’s fifty-year-old birthday celebration, originally Emperor Wu himself did not want to do it too grandly, but Prime Minister Lou Shide believed that Emperor Wu’s birthday celebration should be a big one, not just for the sake of giving The celebration of Emperor Wu was also a very good opportunity to intimidate the many small countries from north to south that relied on the Tang Dynasty. It also demonstrated the power of the Tang Dynasty and the confidence of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, there was news in the first half of the year that Emperor Wu was going to have a grand birthday celebration, called the Longevity Festival.
The last two pages of this secret folder are a summary of the reports from the guards about some unusual and strange people in the Tang Dynasty within three months.
There are not many people, only a dozen people, and among them, the one ranked at the end, the third from the last, is written by Li Sanniang of the Li family in Chang'an City's Changshou Square.
Li Mingfang, the third daughter of Dr. Li Hualin of Changshoufang Bencao Hall in Chang'an City, is skilled in medicine. Because her ex-Lang Xu had second thoughts, he took his daughter He Li back home. Before He Li, he bumped into his ex-Lang Xu and his wife. My cousin, who is a widow, lives in peace, and is angry that she has a small and medium-sized child.
With the help of his family, he successfully reconciled and established a female household. Later, he showed extraordinary medical skills and saved the only son of the second son of Qian Xiuran, the minister of Dali Temple. He accidentally saved Qibi Yatong, the daughter of the Duke of Liang.
By teaching novel medical techniques free of charge, she has passed the assessment of Chang'an Medical Alliance and became the first female doctor under it.
