Chapter 321: The Enemy of Enemies is Friends

Cheng Yanjin left with the map, and Li Shimin also asked Yongzhou to step down and seize the time to appease the people involved in the arson last night.

Xia Hongsheng and the others remained in the Taiji Hall. Li Shimin sat back on the throne, glanced at everyone, and said: "Yesterday, I was discussing how to provoke this gang of rebels and let them show their feet, but I didn't want this gang of rebels to set fire to Chang'an City last night. After thinking about it, I really can't figure out why those chaotic parties set fires. If you want to hide people's eyes and ears, what is it that they are covering? If it was just to intimidate the people and riot the capital, I felt that the thief would not be so reckless. If it's the former, it's a bit interesting, but if it's the latter, I can only say that I think too highly of these people. ”

"Your Majesty, let's wait for the results of General Cheng's side first, and then make a decision." Gao Shilian said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded, and then said: "Yesterday, Xia Qing proposed to posthumously seal Li Jiancheng, I thought about it for a while, and decided to posthumously crown Li Jiancheng as the king of Xi, and posthumously as "hidden", what do you think? ”

Under normal circumstances, the ministers will discuss the title of posthumous seal, and after the decision is made, tell the emperor and let the emperor choose to decide. But Li Jiancheng is the former prince after all, so it is more appropriate for Li Shimin to decide the title and nickname himself. Naturally, no one would object to this, so Li Jiancheng's posthumous seal and posthumous accusation were decided. Just wait for the day of the next court meeting, and announce it to the civil and military officials.

"Okay, that's the end of the matter of posthumously sealing Li Jiancheng." Li Shimin changed his words, and then suddenly his expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter what the cause of this arson is, this time I will wipe it out." Xia Qing, drawing elites from the spy camp. Just pick up a name. They said that they had set the fire. In three days at the latest, I want to see these people stand up and rebel against me! ”

"What?" Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately blurted out, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

didn't answer Xia Hongsheng, Li Shimin said again: "Wei Chi, once those under Xia Qing rebel, I ordered you to be responsible for suppressing them, and quickly suppress those people - and then return them to Xia Qing." ”

Everyone looked at Li Shimin in puzzlement. But seeing Li Shimin smiled indifferently, he looked like he was in his chest, and said to Xia Hongsheng: "What should I do next, I think Xia Qing should know, I don't need to say more, right?" ”

Xia Hongsheng was stunned, his mind was racing, he thought about it, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and he immediately clapped his hands. I understand, Li Shimin is going fishing. The so-called enemy of the enemy is the friend, the chaotic party in Chang'an City. It will definitely not just let go of another wave of forces that hate Li Shimin. At first, they may look at the situation, but as they are sure that these people are going to rebel against Li Shimin, they will definitely contact them and plot to rebel against Li Shimin's rule. In this way, Li Shimin wants to let those spies connect with the chaotic party and break into the chaotic party, so as to achieve the goal of completely destroying these Li Jiancheng remnant parties!

Seeing that Xia Hongsheng understood what he meant, Li Shimin smiled and said, "It seems that Xia Qing understands, in this way, Xia Qing knows how to handle it?" ”

Xia Hongsheng bowed and saluted: "The minister understands." The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and Your Majesty wants to send a friend to those rebellious parties. It's just unfortunate that that friend happens to be one of ours. ”

"Yes, after this arson, the rebels are tired of evading arrest, and there will definitely be no chance to cause any more trouble in the near future. Xia Qing can take the opportunity to arrange for some people to come out and act rebelliously on the surface, and I will also let people cooperate. Now that the chaotic party is lonely, if you know that someone is plotting rebellion, you will definitely contact it. At that time, you can pretend to cooperate with it, and then uproot it and cut it to the roots! ”

Xia Hongsheng bowed, stepped forward, and said, "Weichen understands what His Majesty means, it's just that those people in the spy camp ...... I'm afraid that Weichen alone can't make them believe it and do that rebellious act. Weichen still picked someone and brought it into the palace, and His Majesty personally issued an order before they would accept it. After all, this is not an ordinary character, although it is fake, but it is also a rebellious move, maybe it will tie up Weichen. ”

"Hahahaha......" Li Shimin listened to Xia Hongsheng's words, smiled very proudly, and said: "Those people in the spy camp, indeed, this is something they will do. Anyway, I'll order it myself. ”

"Then Weichen will go down and make arrangements." Xia Hongsheng bowed to Li Shimin and said goodbye.

"Okay, I and Zhu Qing have other things to discuss, Xia Qing will arrange it himself." Li Shimin nodded and allowed Xia Hongsheng to leave.

Coming out of the Tai Chi Hall, the sky outside was not good, gloomy and gloomy, revealing a dampness. Xia Hongsheng looked up at the gloomy sky, it was stuffy, and the air around him seemed to solidify into gelatin, squeezing the air in his chest, giving people the illusion of being out of breath.

Outside the Suzaku Gate, Qi Yong's carriage stopped there and waited, Xia Hongsheng walked up to him and got into the carriage: "Go to the spy camp." ”

"Okay!" Qi Yong nodded, raised his hand and was about to whip the horsewhip, but was stopped by Xia Hongsheng in the carriage.

"Take a trip to East City." Xia Hongsheng said inside.

Qi Yong drove the carriage to Dongshi, Xia Hongsheng didn't close his eyes all night, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. The light of last night's fire still seemed to linger around me, and the screams were still echoing in my ears.

Before he arrived in Dongshi, he had already begun to ask about the smell of scorching in the air, and the carriage was heard at the entrance of Dongshi, Xia Hongsheng got down from the carriage, and saw that most of the houses on both sides had now collapsed into ruins. In the event of a fire, there is basically no chance of survival of the wooden house, but fortunately, it is not very late when the fire starts, so most of the people run out and sit on the side of the road with a blank face at the moment. Most of these two sides are merchants, and if there is nothing left on fire, it will be easy for people to feel a sense of disillusionment.

"Master Hou! Xiaguan meets Xiahou! "I don't know who saw Xia Hongsheng, so he hurriedly walked over, Xia Hongsheng didn't know him, but he looked at the outfit as a civilian, and it was estimated that he was a person from Yongzhou Mansion.

"It is estimated that it will take more than a month to rebuild these houses, how will these people be resettled?" Xia Hongsheng looked at those who were innocently affected by the fire and asked.

The man saluted and replied: "Most of these people are merchants, and the lower officials are now counting, if they have a residence in Chang'an or nearby, and temporarily return to their residence to wait for the reopening of the workshop, if they have no residence, they will be resettled outside Chang'an City." Fortunately, it was hot at this time, so I didn't suffer too much. ”

He was talking about the shed outside Chang'an that was used to house the victims in times of disaster, which was very simple, that is, it was just a shed, and there was no wall.

Xia Hongsheng sympathized with them, but knew that only by catching all those chaotic parties as soon as possible could he cure the root cause. So he nodded, asked a few more questions, and then returned to the carriage and hurried out of the city.

Because of the fire in Chang'an City, the enrollment work was also suspended, so that Ma Zhou and others could stabilize their minds and then continue to enroll. Xia Hongsheng went straight to the spy camp out of Chang'an, and when he arrived at the spy camp, he went straight to the camp tent and found Duan Zhan.

"Did last night's fire have any results? Did you catch the arsonist? As soon as he saw that it was Xia Hongsheng who had entered, Duan Zan immediately got up and asked eagerly.

Xia Hongsheng roughly repeated the situation of the fire with Duan Zhan, and Duan Zan also smashed his fist on the table after hearing this, gritting his teeth angrily.

"Don't think so much, do your own thing, cooperate with Your Majesty's plan, and wipe out those chaotic parties as soon as possible is fundamental." Xia Hongsheng said to Duan Zhan: "Select a few experienced teams from the spy camp, assemble them, and then follow me into the palace to meet Your Majesty." Your Majesty has an order to give it to them personally! ”

"Into the palace?" Duan Zan was stunned: "Your Majesty personally gave the order?" ”

"Yes, it is related to His Majesty's plan, which needs to be kept absolutely secret, you can also pack it up and enter the palace together." Xia Hongsheng nodded and said to Duan Zhan.

Duan Zhan's expression was solemn, and he immediately nodded: "Okay, I'll go and order someone!" ”

"This is a very high level of responsibility and a very dangerous mission." Xia Hongsheng looked at Duan Zhan, and then said in a deep voice: "Let's do the veteran first." ”

"Understood." Duan Zan nodded heavily, then turned around and strode out of the camp tent, and went to gather people.

This mission is dangerous and requires extreme caution, as the slightest mistake could expose the plan and fall short.

While waiting for Duan Zan to summon people, Xia Hongsheng began to arrange how to arrange these people. First of all, he and Duan Zan must be in the dark, and they can't be exposed. And how to convince Li Jiancheng's party as soon as possible that they are also a force that wants to rebel also requires careful planning. If Li Jianchengyu's party wants to believe that they are really rebelling, I am afraid that everyone will have to think that they are a group of chaotic parties. Rebellion must be done, and it is necessary to make a "name" so that people know and believe that they are indeed plotting rebellion.

Youji is cunning, it is best to make her think that these new chaotic parties are really chaotic parties and really rebel, and make her feel that these people are worth using, so she will think of forming an alliance to jointly rebel against Li Shimin. Therefore, this new group of chaotic parties must not only have strong execution and destructive power, and their power is not small, but also make Yuji feel that they can control them and use their power for their own use. With the intention of annexation, Yuhime will come to contact and cooperate with them.

Duan Zan gathered people outside, and Xia Hongsheng paused his thoughts and walked out. There were a dozen or so squads, seventy or eighty people.

"Go back and change into the clothes of the right feather Lin Wei, and after forming a military formation, follow me into the palace to meet Your Majesty!" Xia Hongsheng glanced around, and then ordered in a deep voice.

Soon, everyone changed into the military uniform of the right feather Lin Wei, looking like a soldier, and stood in front of Xia Hongsheng again.

Xia Hongsheng nodded to Duan Zhan.

"Let's go!" Duan Zan waved his hand and shouted. (To be continued.) )
