Chapter 466: Two old men fishing, Goguryeo strikes again
Old Li Yuan didn't care after hearing this, shook his head and smiled, "What's so strange about this? Don't those who come to this entertainment city come to rest and have fun?
Let me talk about the Minister of Works, isn’t it the same as you, the former Minister of Works?
Xinming, are you still as strict as you were in office? Are you so strict with your subordinates? Even if they are lazy at work, it is still the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel of the Tang Dynasty. We have all retired, don’t worry about these things, Erlang will worry about it!"
The old man Li Yuan was really open-minded, but when it came to this matter, the warrior Guan had already sobered up a little bit, and shook his head and insisted: "No, my subordinates are not for this. I saw Lin Xueqing before, and I had a quick glance. My subordinates suspected that he was sneaking in makeup. An important official in the court came to the entertainment city and just came openly. After all, everyone came here, but it was suspicious that he had hidden his identity."
"Oh? You read that right?"
"No, the old minister has worked with him for many years and is too familiar with him." Samurai Teng insisted.
Seeing this, Li Yuan had already believed it and waved his hand to summon his personal eunuch - Lao Wang.
"Go and check the whereabouts of the Minister of Works today, and check in the entertainment city if he is there."
A quarter of an hour later, Lao Wang came back to report after checking and said, "Master, Lin Xueqing, the Minister of Works, was at home today and did not go out. He was not seen in the entertainment city."
The warrior general did not agree with this result and asked: "Can you check the blue cloth turban and elegant bearded person in the entertainment city to see if there is any of him? Because he is traveling with makeup."
Lao Wang said: "Ying Gong, this image is very common in the entertainment city. Most ordinary people of this age dress up, so it is probably difficult to find out."
Li Yuan drank a glass of wine and said, "Since Xinming is so confident, you must be careful about this matter, it is better to find out clearly. Send someone to stare at the front and back doors of Lin Xueqing's house to see if there are such suspicious people, or to see if there are people like Lin Xueqing back from outside, so that it can be verified."
After all, Li Yuan was a veteran. Half a day later, someone came to report. Sure enough, someone saw a commoner suspected of Lin Xueqing pretending to be a servant from the back door and entering the Lin Mansion.
"Xinming, it seems you're right. There's something wrong with Lin Xueqing."
"Yes, the Supreme Emperor, the Minister of Works is an important position. There are many envoys from foreign races during this period. If there is a problem with this person and he will communicate with the foreign races, the consequences will be unimaginable." Warrior General said worriedly.
"Go and send someone to investigate the family background of Lin Xueqing for three generations, draw the appearance he pretends to be today, and secretly investigate in the entertainment city to see who he is meeting with today. I want the answer within one day."
Although Li Yuan has retreated to the second line of national affairs, he will not sit idly by. At this time, he will be quite decisive when he calls his own methods. It takes less than a day or half a day. At a command, someone will go to do the business.
A group of national painters personally trained by Bai Fan, the documents drawn by the anti-criminal documents are no longer simple. The repeated offenders are oil paintings, and the least they must be sketched. The Ministry of Justice requires that the portraits and their personal similarities must be more than 90%.
As for the entertainment city, although there are many customers coming and going from store to store every day, Bai Fan made arrangements at the beginning of the city construction. The entertainment city is Bai Fan, an important eyeliner for the Tang Dynasty court, and it is almost a transparent existence. It was soon found.
Li Yuan looked at the information that Lao Wang found, pondered and said, "You mean, the one who contacted Lin Xueqing was a Tang Dynasty native? Not a foreigner?"
Lao Wang replied: "Master, both parties are connected in the box of the Grand Theater. The other party is dressed in a Tang Dynasty. Because he showed up once, he could not find his information, so he didn't know if the other party was wearing foreign makeup."
The clue was cut off, and both Warrior Tsang and Li Yuan were helpless. How to find out the other party?
In the end, the Samurai Yuan had an idea, "He is the Minister of Works. We can start with the Ministry of Works. Why not take out a bait and see if we can catch fish?"
"Oh? The plan will come out?" Li Yuan asked.
"The Ministry of Industry is in charge of the Tang Dynasty's craftsmanship. Many of them are state-confidential skills. Especially after the Lantian Hou rectified, the Ministry of Industry has stricter requirements on these, but the Ministry of Industry is not a technical research and development institution. The most excellent technical research and development institution is the general in the palace, which is the strictest confidentiality.
We can delegate a confidentiality technique to the Ministry of Works from the Ministry of Works. If Lin Xueqing is indifferent, it means that his personal relationship with the people may not involve official business. If he acts again because of the emergence of new skills, then we can catch the fish behind."
"Okay, you and I will go find Erlang now!" Li Yuan was overjoyed, pulled the warrior to go out and headed straight to the palace.
A day later, a news came from the court that the Tang Dynasty could already mass-produce fish scale armor. From then on, as long as the steel output could keep up, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty would say goodbye to the leather armor and replace them with the fish scale armor with strong defense. The matter has been handed over to the Ministry of Works for execution.
Three days later, in the Tang Dynasty Entertainment City, Old Li Yuan and Warrior appeared in the fourth floor of the Grand Theater. In the private room at their feet, Lin Xueqing was secretly interacting with others.
An hour later, Lao Wang received a reward from the tracker, "Master, the leader of the Baiqisi took action personally, and the other party was a Tubo, which is absolutely true."
Bang! Li Yuan slapped the wine table in front of him with a palm and said coldly: "Tubo? Lin Xueqing, the Minister of Works, is a traitor! He is not moving in secret, and he keeps monitoring them all the time. People from Tubo are ill-behaved and sent people to watch them firmly. Don't let a guard and servant go. I want to see how big waves they can draw?"
Because Tubo Lu Dongzan and his party were broken, they basically stopped and could not do anything. Of course, no one knew that this was the master behind the scenes, and the broken leg recuperation was just enough to cover up their little movements.
The more I thought about Goguryeo and Gaisuwen became more and more angry. Since he faced Zhongnan Academy, he had almost lost consecutive battles and lost 200 people. The Imperial College plan had gone bankrupt, and the matter of following the Tubo was brutally brutally germinated. Even the Alliance of All Nations, which he planned when he came, became shaky due to the participation of the Western Turks.
"Da tyrant, my subordinates received a secret report that the family of Silla Zhenping is now living in Chang'an City. Some people say that King Zhenping was secretly rescued by Bai Fan last time. In order to repay his kindness, his daughter Silla Princess Jin Deman was said to marry Bai Fan. It seems that the wedding date has been chosen." The deputy envoy quickly reported.
This news was a great joy. Yoon Gaisuwen had always been upset about Silla's escape from his nose. Now Silla is actually getting involved with Bai Fan, so it's just right that she can make a fuss.
After planning everything, Yoon Gaisuwen got up and came to the Baekje envoy who lived in Yingbin Garden.
"Do you think Lu's words seriously?"
"That's right, many people in the upper class of the Tang Dynasty knew about Jin Deman's marriage to Bai Fan. You can tell once you check it out. If this matter is done, I'm afraid you Baekje will be a joke." Yuan Gaisuwen laughed at the Baekje envoy.
The envoy of Baekje slapped his thigh and cursed angrily: "He is not a good person. He has long issued a letter of nationality to betrothed his daughter to our prince of Baekje, but now he is married to someone else? Do you humiliate us? No, I want to send a message to the country, and from then on, Baekje and Silla will never stop!"
