After listening to Zhanhui's report on the progress of the investigation, Zhao Yunze immediately entered the palace and stated the matter to Li Shimin.After listening to Zhao Yunze's performance, Li Shimin frowned and thought about it.After a while, Li Shimin said: "Peng Yu, according to you, what is the origin of this group of Dongying people" Zhao Yunze thought for a while and said: "The minister's master once said that the Dongying Kingdom is quite poor and weak, and the people are overwhelmed by the pressure of life, and there are many thieves.In the East China Sea, there were many Japanese robbers who made a living by robbing merchants on the sea.Moreover, on the side of the Tang Dynasty, there are also pirates and pirates who have formed alliances with each other.The minister was thinking that this group of fake envoys from Dongying was most likely united by the pirates of the Tang Dynasty. ”"Well, it's not impossible."
Li Shimin nodded, "If the Dongying envoys are really fake, what will be their purpose" Zhao Yunze said: "Under normal circumstances, the people of Fanguo pretend to be the envoys, just to deceive the Tang Dynasty's heavy return gift.However, since Zhanhui heard the words action, trust, and reward, it means that the purpose of this group of Dongying envoys is by no means as simple as money.The ministers are worried that they will do something unfavorable to Datang. ”Li Shimin was silent for a while, sighed and said, "Tomorrow, it will be the prisoner sacrifice ceremony."
If this group of fake Dongying envoys just wanted to defraud some money, it would not hurt for the court to turn a blind eye.But if they really want to have some conspiracy, they can't help but guard against it" It is precisely because of this concern that the minister came to report to His Majesty before he had conclusive evidence. ”Zhao Yunze said."
You did a good job" Li Shimin praised Zhao Yunze, and said: "Then what do you think, check the details of this group of people" Zhao Yunze said: "The minister has already thought about this matter on the way to the palace."
Now, envoys from various countries in the Quartet Pavilion have gathered to check the details of this group of Dongying people, but it is not appropriate to make too much noise.What the minister meant was that His Majesty might as well find a reason to summon this group of Dongying people.Then in the dark forces in the palace, inquire about them. ”Li Shimin thought for a while, turned his head and said to Huang Dehai: "Huang Dehai, you and Zhao Yunze went to the Sifang Pavilion to pass on my message to the Dongying envoys, saying that Dongying has not been in contact with the Central Plains for several years, and this time the Dongying envoys are coming to the court, I am very relieved, and I want to summon all the members of the envoys."
Let them enter the palace immediately. ”"The old slave obeys the order" Huang Dehai received the order.Zhao Yunze asked Li Shimin again: "The arrangement in the palace" Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this, I will arrange everything." ”Zhao Yunze nodded, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is afraid that the people of Dongying will be suspicious, and it will not be good if something happens in his life."
He also asked His Majesty to send a team of guards to go to the Sifang Pavilion with the ministers and Huang Gonggong. ”Li Shimin said: "You are very cautious in worrying about things, so it depends on your wishes." ”Zhao Yunze and Huang Dehai of the dividing line came to the Sifang Pavilion with a team of thirty palace guards and conveyed Li Shimin's message to Li Xiange.Li Xiange took people from the palace again and found the residence of the Dongying envoys.There are about 20 people in the Toei envoy group, the main envoy of the envoy is named Taro Matsuno, and the deputy envoy and interpreter is called Shinji Okayama.Huang Dehai conveyed Li Shimin's message to Taro Matsuno and Shinji Okayama, and asked them to gather all the members of the envoy group and enter the palace immediately.Shinji Okayama whispered to Taro Matsuno for a while, and the two spoke a few more words.Then, Okayama Shinji said to Huang Dehai: "It is an honor for our Dongying envoys to be summoned by the Tang Emperor alone.Please wait a moment for the angel, and we will gather all the members, change their clothes, and enter the palace with the angel. ”"Your Excellency, please."
Huang Dehai nodded.After that, Taro Matsuno and Shinji Okayama were about to go back to their rooms.A flash of inspiration flashed in Zhao Yunze's mind, and he immediately followed."
This lord, what are you?"
asked Zhao Yunze suspiciously."
Hehe, it's nothing, I'm just afraid that you will delay too much time, so Your Majesty will be in a hurry, so I specially urge you to order.""
This" Okayama Shinji was stunned for a moment, and then whispered to Taro Matsuno for a while."
My lord, our people need to change their clothes, and it will be inconvenient for you to follow."
Okayama Shinji said to Zhao Yunze again."
Haha, it's all men, what's the inconvenience."
Zhao Yunze ignored it and rushed to the room of the envoy group.He was afraid that these Dongying people would have secret discussions, so he specially followed them.Taro Matsuno and Shinji Okayama saw that Zhao Yunze had already entered the room, and they couldn't do anything about it.had to follow Zhao Yunze into the room.After a while, all the members of the legation came to this room.Zhao Yunze took advantage of the moment when Shinji Matsuno conveyed the order to them, and his eyes examined the faces of each member of the envoy group.He didn't find a flaw.After a while, the members of the envoy group all went back to the room to change their clothes, and Zhao Yunze and Huang Dehai led them into the palace.Along the way, Zhao Yunze chatted with Okayama Shinji from time to time, knocking on the side to find out his details.Okayama Shinji coped with it easily, and Zhao Yunze also didn't find a flaw.In a short time, a group of people was almost at the gate of the palace.Zhao Yunze suddenly saw a carriage coming to the west of the main gate of the palace, and a team of ten guards followed the carriage.This seems to be the carriage of Princess Jiujiang.Could it be that she went to Hongyi Palace to greet the old man Li Yuan Thinking of Princess Jiujiang, Zhao Yunze was suddenly inspired."
Hey, there's a beautiful woman in that carriage," Zhao Yunze shouted loudly.As soon as he finished shouting, he immediately observed the members of the legation.I saw more than a dozen people in the envoy group, and at the same time they turned their heads to look at the carriage.Zhao Yunze knew it now.Sure enough, there are many Han people in this group of Dongying people.Otherwise, how could those who turned their heads to look at the carriage understand what I said Zhao Yunze continued to walk forward quietly.Taro Matsuno and Shinji Okayama haven't reacted at this time, and their envoys have already revealed the biggest flaw.Zhao Yunze just waited to enter the palace and expose them.But just when everyone walked forward five or six steps, one of the members of the envoy suddenly shouted: "I have been killed" Zhao Yunze was startled and hurriedly looked back.I saw a member of the envoy suddenly take out a dagger from his sleeve and attack one of the guards.The guard was defenseless and immediately stabbed in the chest.Everyone was stunned.The man who attacked the guard quickly pulled out his dagger and rushed towards Princess Jiujiang's carriage.At this time, more than a dozen people in the envoy group immediately followed the person to the carriage of the princesses of Jiujiang."
Stop them," Zhao Yunze chased after him.The guards who followed Zhao Yunze were immediately divided into two groups, one chasing the carriage of Princess Jiujiang, and a wave immediately pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist and detained those Dongying people who had not yet reacted.Although these Dongying people also resisted again, they did not bring weapons with them because they wanted to enter the palace.With bare hands, where are the opponents of those guards.Soon, they were all escorted by the guards
