The turmoil in the court represents a new power game behind it.

No matter how treacherous the clouds are, for the time being, they are too far away for everyone.

Even Su Dawei felt that he was only touching a little, and it was possible that he was borrowed by the Wang family, Hao Chujun and others.

So when he came out of Zichen Hall today, the old man Hao Chujun smiled so ambiguously at himself.

That expression was like an old thief who had stolen a chicken.

In comparison, Su Dawei still prefers to deal with Li Tao.

Although they are all old foxes, at least Li Tao is very sincere, and everything is on the table.

No matter how much calculation is behind it, at least it gives people the feeling of being upright.

At this time, Su Dawei had not expected that what happened in Zichen Hall today was just a corner of the entire storm.

He had thought he was on the brink of a storm and would only be a spectator.

But it won't be long before he understands.

Today's judgment is very wrong.

……

Three days have passed.

In the past few days, what has attracted the most attention of the people of Chang'an is that Li Tao and his entourage have returned to the Tang Dynasty from the Goguryeo battlefield.

In addition to the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners on Suzaku Avenue, there are also various celebratory programs.

For the people of the Tang Dynasty, in the past ten years, it seems to be commonplace to see the kings and nobles of the Tibetan vassal countries being arrested and returned to Chang'an.

The Taizong Dynasty had the Turkic Jieli Khan.

When you come to Chang'an, you can only seal an Anle Gong and dance for the Son of Heaven's banquet.

Now in the Li Zhi Dynasty, the Shabaluo Khan of the Western Turks, the Hui Khan, as well as the countries of Tubo, Baekje, and the Western Regions, are simply numb.

However, Li Tao captured the king of Goguryeo this time, which still made the people of the Tang Dynasty feel excited and stimulated.

When Goguryeo was in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was not a small country, but a proper hegemon in East Asia.

Sui died as a result of his conquest of Goguryeo.

During the time of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, with a hundred victorious soldiers, he could not destroy the country.

Compare Datang's external performance in the same period.

Goguryeo is definitely a hard stone.

Now, the bravery of Li Zhifen III has actually conquered Goguryeo.

Which is the legitimacy of the power of Li Zhi? Even the Tang Dynasty far surpassed the orthodox status of the former Sui? are the strongest proofs.

Li Zhi was also happy because of the dragon, and announced that Chang'an would not close his door at night? Daqing three days.

The whole country rejoices.

A wine shop on the street? Su Dawei sat in the window seat.

Across from him, sat tall dragons, tall tigers? and An Wensheng and three others.

Gao Dalong glanced out the window and smiled: "Li Tao is majestic this time?" Your Majesty should have a great reward. ”

"Yes."

In Su Dawei's memory? When Li Tao comes back this time, he should be sealed.

However, the power in his hands should be gradually handed over, and the age has come.

The last time he shined for Datang? Should it be the case of Li Yifu who supervised the trial this time? As for military power, I don't want to touch it again in the future.

Li Zhi will not allow it.

Glancing at the tall dragon opposite, Su Dawei heard another layer of meaning from his words.

He shook his head and explained: "Now the imperial court's reward for government soldiers is not as good as before, which is also the meaning of the question?" After all, it has been more than 40 years since the founding of the country, and it is impossible to have such a high reward......"

Stopped? He seemed to explain to himself: "I also know that the rewards for soldiers are a little thinner now, and I originally wanted to go back to Chang'an?" Just made a statement to His Majesty, but he has been dragged down by the case? Can't find the right opportunity.

When was the last time I went to the military department to see Xiao Siye? Did you mention it to him a little too? Everyone agrees.

Don't chill the hearts of the soldiers.

I will explain this to Your Majesty again when I have the opportunity. ”

The soldiers who returned to Datang this time, according to the usual practice, all generals will be promoted to one level.

And the soldiers below are probably the end of making a little money.

There will be no land endowments in the past, and there will be no high-level honors as in the past.

Being a soldier in the Tang Dynasty has become less and less attractive to the people of the Tang Dynasty and those good families.

The source of soldiers became a problem.

The quality of the soldiers also became a problem.

As far as Su Da is concerned, from the first flash of jumping over the Jinshan Mountains to attack the Western Turks, to this time conquering Baekje and Goguryeo, it is obvious that the military quality of the soldiers under his command is weakening.

In the past, with a few hundred people, the Tang army dared to face several times or even ten times the enemy.

Today, none of them can accomplish tactical objectives without thousands of people.

If the problem of soldiers is not explained, the expansion of the Tang Dynasty will stagnate, or even begin to decay.

Su Dawei has always wanted to say something for the soldiers on this issue.

After all, it's a robe that kills the enemy together.

However, from returning to Chang'an to the present, he has been trapped in various whirlpools and turmoil, and has not found a suitable opportunity to speak.

"By the way, the British Duke is back, do you want to go and pay a visit?" Li Bo asked on the side.

"In a few days, he has just returned, there must be a lot of work, don't make trouble at this time."

Su Dawei thought for a while and said, "Let's solve the trouble in front of us first." ”

Gao Dalong, Gao Dahu, Li Bo and the other three raised their heads and touched each other, and everyone knew that Su Dawei was talking about the trouble.

On the bright side, it is the case of Princess Gaoyang.

The time for solving the case agreed between Su Dawei and Li Zhi is approaching.

Secretly, it is the crisis of the "dismemberment" of the Ducha Temple.

Although Li Yifu is now being interrogated by Liu Xiangdao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, together with Yushitai and Dali Temple, it does not affect it, and His Majesty is still gradually exerting force according to the strategy provided by Li Yifu.

Su Dawei, Gao Dalong and the others already clearly felt that power.

Inside the Ducha Temple.

I can't see or touch it, but I just smell it.

People's hearts are moving.

Change is coming.

"I'm also thinking about how to preserve our efforts as much as possible without going against His Majesty's will."

Su Dawei said implicitly, his eyes turned, and when he saw the window, a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

He stretched out his hand to beckon.

Outside, Nan Jiuro walked briskly.

After he came in, before he could make a noise, he walked quickly to Su Dawei's side and said in a low voice: "That matter, I didn't find out the problem." ”

The eyes of everyone present were filled with a strange light.

What Nan Jiulang said, they all know clearly, referring to the case of Princess Gaoyang, these days, Ducha Temple and Dali Temple have focused on following the cursed doll and investigating Guo Xingzhen in secret.

A lot of old things have been dug up.

Including Guo Xingzhen's origin, his cultivation of the Tao, his inheritance, and some old news from the past.

and whether Guo Xingzhen and Princess Gao Yang know each other.

Whether there is an intersection or not.

Guo Xingzhen and Li Yifu, whether there is any secret relationship.

These temples were all broken and crumpled and checked again.

But until now, in exchange for the sentence "no problem was found".

Just because there is no problem does not mean that there is no problem.

"The resume is clear, the net worth is innocent, and the teacher is clear."

Su Dawei took the record handed over by Nan Jiulang and looked at it word by word.

He muttered, "There's a problem." ”

"Huh?"

Nan Jiulang just picked up a bowl of tea soup and poured it down.

Hearing this, he almost choked on his mouth, and asked with difficulty while coughing: "Siqing, what's the problem?" ”

Gao Dalong stroked a jade bead in his hand, the corners of his mouth were raised, and a sneer flashed in his eyes: "It's too clean, this person's past is so clean and flawless, it seems that someone deliberately made it." ”

Nan Jiulang was stunned.

A Taoist like Guo Xingzhen, who has the identity of half a Jianghu person, should not have been so clean and organized.

There will always be some things that you want to cover up, some things that are vague in memory, and even some things that are hidden and difficult to find.

But this Guo Xingzhen, his resume couldn't be clearer and cleaner.

It's too clean to be true.

"If there is no problem, it is the biggest problem."

Su Dawei tapped his finger on Guo Xingzhen's name: "I checked the scene of his alchemy that day, this person seems to be a demon of a certain faction, and the method of alchemy is by no means the right way." ”

can use weird alchemy, this is by no means a decent Taoist.

Including Yuan Shoucheng, as well as Li Keshi and others, they have not heard of this kind of alchemy.

But all this is not seen on Guo Xingzhen's clean resume.

"Why don't you probe again? Let's see if there's anything to be found. ”

Gao Dalong proposed.

He was quite interested in Guo Xingzhen's alchemy.

Especially listening to Su Dawei, this Guo Xingzhen actually used weird alchemy.

The tall dragon was also strange, completely ignoring the fact that he had more than half of the strange blood in his body.

On the contrary, I was very excited about this and wanted to see it with my own eyes.

"Explore, explore."

Su Dawei sighed: "It is only a few days before the day when Your Majesty and I set to solve the case, and now in addition to some scattered things at hand, the only clue left is the puppet, and the only way to catch Guo Xingzhen's line is to find out something." ”

The doll was indeed bought by a Taoist priest under Guo Xingzhen.

But Su Dawei has been stuck on this layer so far.

There is a contradiction here.

If you go to investigate, you will definitely have contact with Guo Xingzhen's disciples, and it is inevitable that the news will leak, which will make Guo Xingzhen vigilant.

So don't take it lightly.

If you want to move, you have to be sure.

Now that time is pressing, I can only visit Laojunguan again.

It's really not good, maybe you have to consider taking the Taoist who bought the puppet away and interrogating him alone.

But in that case, it's better to say if something comes out.

If it is not tried, the clues on Guo Xingzhen's side will be broken again.

"Dalong, Wensheng is with me, Dahu, you and Jiulang will go back to Ducha Temple first."

Su Dawei thought for a while and said, "Help me inform Li Bo, he should be more careful." ”

The matter of internal guard, that is the secret foreshadowing of Su Dawei and Li Bo.

Care must be taken.

If the news leaks, under the next changes in Ducha Temple, Su Dawei will be even more passive.

"Okay."

"At this time, Guo Xingzhen should enter the palace to diagnose the prince, let's hurry up."

……

Lao Junguan.

A small red bird flies into the temple.

Flew through the half-open window, flew up to the beam, tilted his head and looked down.

Below, it's decadent and messy.

The Dan furnace is turned off.

It seems to have been abandoned for a long time.

Outside the Taoist temple.

Su Dawei, who was connected with Xiao Bi Fang with his heart, was taken aback in his heart.

Not long ago, when he came here to check on the city, there was a fire burning in the Dan furnace in the temple.

At that time, Guo Xingzhen, together with two other Taoists, opened the Dan furnace and threw a strange one into the furnace fire for refining.

There are not a few days left until now.

What's going on right now?
