In the middle of the night, the sound of horses' hooves in Chang'an City continued, and Li Jiancheng, the king of Jin, was easy to find, and was stationed in Chang'an City all year round, but Li Yuanba, the king of Chu, and Baifan, the Marquis of Lantian, were different, and these two people were basically in Zhongnan Academy.

Li Yuanba is good at martial arts, the academy is all masters, and there are a number of juniors and disciples who learn martial arts, and he doesn't need to participate in military aircraft, so naturally he doesn't have to live in the palace of the king of Chu and have nothing to do.

And Bai Fan since the youngest daughter was a little older, he devoted himself to the academy again and began the great cause of education, the military of the Tang Dynasty has been strong, and now it is the governance of the place, and there is a shortage of officials and scholars, so it needs to rely on Zhongnan Academy, and Zhongnan Academy once competed with the Guozijian and successfully incorporated the Guozijian, and since then, Zhongnan Academy has begun to provoke the great cause of national education as a private institution.

When Li Er's messenger found Bai Fan, it was already the next morning, Bai Fan was teaching the students, and when he saw Li Er's warrant, he rode out slowly, otherwise, he was going to show the messenger, or send him back, he didn't have time to be a strategist for the emperor every day.

Li Yuanba and Bai Fan rode Wanliyun and Saichi Rabbit from Lantian to the palace in an hour, and Li Er had already summoned the generals of the military department and was ready to prepare for the worst.

"Jane, hurry, something happened to the third brother in the southwest, the enemy used a chronic poison, tens of thousands of people in the city were poisoned, and now the situation is unpredictable, I don't know if Yucheng is still in our hands, I don't know if the third brother is alive or dead."

Handing over the urgent secret letter, Li Er said urgently.

"What? I immediately went to the southwest to rescue the third brother. Li Yuanba said loudly.

Bai Fan held down Li Yuanba, took the secret letter and looked at it carefully.

Chronic poisons? Confusing people's hearts, just a dish can make people forget it, and the more they eat, the more excited they are? Don't have to have it? Just like gambling addiction, is there an addiction to eating vegetables? Why does this sound so much like opium?

How can it be? There are people in Datang who use opium?

Looking down further, after taking it for a long time, the generals began to have black circles under their eyes and their bones were sluggish, isn't this a drug addiction?

"It's not good, it's this poison, please wait a minute, I need to verify my conjecture."

After speaking, Bai Fan found a place to sit down, closed his eyes, and began to call up the library in his mind to check the materials to see what was going on in the past and present life of this poppy.

Although everyone was puzzled, they all looked at Bai Fan, obviously Lantian Hou already knew a rough idea.

After a stick of incense, Bai Fan knew that if the expectation was good, the opium poppy in southwest Tubo either came from Tianzhu or from Hu Shang in the Western Regions, and it seemed that there were experts who pointed out that the use of opium was discovered so early.

"Your Majesty, if I'm not mistaken, this poison comes from a plant called the poppy, which is recorded in Buddhist scriptures as the flower of forgetting sorrows, which was originally used to heal diseases and save people, but the poisoner found that this substance has hallucinogenic toxicity and refined it into poison.

As the secret letter said, this substance cannot be tested with a silver needle, and the poisoned person is unaware, and because the poison hallucinates will also produce a dream-like feeling, and from then on, it will produce dependence, which is often called addiction.

Those who are poisoned more and more cannot do without poison, and in the long run, their spirit and spirit are exhausted, as if they are consuming vitality, their complexion is yellow and godless, and their bones cannot stand up to human shape, and finally they die. ”

This......

Everyone listened to Bai Fan's description, and they all felt a chill down their spines, if they were given this kind of poison, would it be like what Lantian Hou said just now, and they would not die well in the end?

"Jianzhi, hurry, go and save Saburo." Old Li Yuan urged.

Bai Fan shook his head and said, "If it's really like what was said in the secret letter, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

"What? How so? ”

"Think about it, how far is Chang'an from southwest Tibet? How many days will the messenger arrive here? ”

Li Er said in a deep voice: "The eight-hundred-mile urgent letter was used for twenty days. ”

"Yes, twenty days, if I am the mastermind of this conspiracy, I don't have to wait for the whole city to fall, and all the generals in the city will be poisoned, and then I can close the net, not to mention that thousands of soldiers have also been poisoned when the letter is sent."

Li Yuan sat back in his seat with a gray face, and muttered, that, that......

"I'm afraid that the third uncle's life depends on the auspicious people's heavenly appearance, Yucheng must have been lost, we should prepare for war."

Li Eryi slapped his palm on several cases, and said angrily: "The despicable Tubo people, Duke Mao, the whole army of 200,000, follow me to pacify Tubo to avenge the third brother." ”

Li Ji took over Li Jing's position as the secretary of the military department, and the original plan was Hou Junji, but Hou Junji is now obsessed with the Tang Navy and has no interest in the military department, so it came to the young Li Ji.

Hearing the emperor's general, Li Ji was puzzled: "Your Majesty, think twice, the city of Yucheng has fallen, and our preparations in the Tang Dynasty for several years may be burned, and the 50,000 soldiers who can fight on the plateau are no more, and our 200,000 troops may not be able to go up the plateau." ”

"Even if the whole army is annihilated, I will destroy him and Tubo, and the thunder will blow them up." Li Er said angrily.

Li Jiancheng shouted: "This king used all his family wealth to make a thunderbolt. ”

"All the treasures of the Da'an Palace are used for military expenses." Li Yuan shouted.

"I entered the city of Tubo and took the head of Songtsen Gampo, the lord of his country." Li Yuanba shouted.

The military department looked at the angry appearance of these people and sighed in their hearts, it seems that the Li family of the royal family is still so united and so terrifying, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu, what the hell is Songtsan Gampo? It's been history for a long time, and now the lord of Tubo heard that his surname is Li.

Bai Fan stepped forward and said: "The preparation I am talking about is not that we enter Tubo, but that we defend the Tang Dynasty, if the city is broken, the 100,000 thunderstorms in the city may fall into the hands of the enemy, and Tubo will have weapons to deal with the Tang Dynasty from now on, and the war will suffer heavy losses in the future." ”

Li Er woke up suddenly, isn't it, he forgot about this stubble in a hurry.

"The most serious thing is not the 100,000 thunderbolts, I am confident that they will not dare to imitate them, although the 100,000 is more, after all, when it is used up, the most terrifying thing is still drugs."

"What? How many drugs do they have? Can you still poison my Datang? Li Er didn't believe it.

"Hehe, I don't know how much, but with this kind of thing that is addicted after eating, whether it is a poor beggar or a rich bureaucrat, no one can resist poisoning and addiction, once it is flowed into Datang, as long as the quantity is enough, this thing cannot be estimated by loss.

If it is in my hands, there is no need for our army to be dispatched, as long as we cultivate land and do business, then as long as I want to go east to the Wa Kingdom and west to Daqin, all of them will be enslaved by me. ”

I...... Li Er has an urge to scold his mother, Tubo, you bunch of raw melons and eggs, what are you doing with such a big killer? What if Bai Fan, this kid, wants to be an emperor on a whim one day?

The ministers below don't dare to speak anymore, and the Marquis of Lantian is no longer angry, he is simply invincible in the world when talking and laughing.

"Your Majesty, what kind of eyes are you? Don't you believe me? ”

Li Er said embarrassedly: "Where is it, how can it be?" Jane, don't you know what you're capable of? If you have the power of your heart, why do you need such a nasty method? ”

Bai Fan has white eyes, only if you believe in you, there will be ghosts.

"That is, I already have poppies in my hands, but I think it hurts the heavens and the peace, so I haven't shown it to anyone, and I didn't think that I was taken by the enemy, so I can't be blamed for being ruthless."

"Okay, okay, I will immediately order that I will allocate you 10,000 acres of fertile land, you come up with ideas, and I will sell them outside."

I...... I don't seem to mean that, don't I, besides, isn't this time studying saving people and taking revenge?

"Bastard Erlang, your third brother's life and death are uncertain, what are you doing?" Sure enough, Lao Li Yuan began to curse.
