Life in Film and Television: Starting from the Jinshui Bridge

Chapter 195 The mastermind behind the scenes
Having said that, Liu Meng paused and continued:
"Then, let's guess where these gold coins come from! There are only two people who can get so many Sassanian gold coins... one is General Wang who is in the Western Regions Protectorate, and the other is a caravan traveling between countries in the Western Regions Anlu Mountain!"

Hearing Liu Meng's guess, not only the sage was taken aback, but even Xu Bin, whose face was already gloomy, was also taken aback.

The two really did not expect that one of them did not believe that General Wang, whom he had entrusted with a heavy responsibility, would be the mastermind behind all this.

One was surprised, although he didn't directly guess the person behind the scene, but he was not far behind!

Liu Meng didn't wait for the two to continue to be surprised, Liu Meng continued:
"General Wang, although he intends to support the prince, he also knows that the current situation in the court is not the time to kill the saint!

In this way, Lin Jiulang will only take the opportunity to unite with the courtiers and depose the prince, the loss outweighs the gain!Then, behind this incident, it will not be General Wang and the crown prince! "

After speaking, Liu Meng looked at Xu Bin and continued:
"Then, there is only An Lushan! This is a very cunning and ruthless guy who is good at forbearance! He is a descendant of the barbarian, and he has been throwing money in Chang'an wantonly, hoping to get the approval of the ministers!"

"Unfortunately, his identity as a barbarian is destined not to be recognized by the ministers, and will only make the courtiers think that he is a good boy! So far, he is also dissatisfied with the entire Tang court!"

"Maybe it was accidental. He knew of your existence, and he didn't know how you connected online! After he knew your plan, he took out a lot of gold coins to support you!"

"For one thing, no matter whether it is successful or not, it will also damage the prestige of the saint, so that other Jiedu envoys will no longer be afraid of the majesty of the saint!"

Speaking of this, Liu Meng put his hands behind his back and said with the appearance of holding Zhizhu:

"Then, let me make a bold assumption, An Lushan, what is the ultimate purpose of doing this?"

"Let Datang be completely chaotic, so that he can support himself with his troops and establish himself as king, and finally lead his troops to rush into Chang'an City in the chaos and take Li Tang Jiangshan?"

After saying this, both the saint and Xu Bin broke out in a cold sweat, and both of them were terrified.

Just think about it, if the saint is assassinated, then the princelings and the right-wing party will attack each other, causing chaos in the court.

And what Liu Meng said may become a fact.

An Lushan and others may take the opportunity to establish themselves as kings, and even lead troops into the city of Chang'an under the banner of the Qing emperor.

Then, such a consequence would really ruin Datang's decades-long foundation.

Such an ending was never expected by the two of them.

Even Xu Bin, who was determined to die, couldn't help sweating from behind his back.

He doesn't want to die, and he will still be charged in history as the chief culprit who ruined the Tang Dynasty.

His purpose is just to put things right and bring Datang back to glory.

At this moment, Xu Bin's face showed remorse, and Liu Meng knew that he had guessed right.

I can't help being a little proud. When watching the drama, many people are guessing the real mastermind behind this scene.

Some people said it was the prince and Wang Zhongsi, while others guessed it was An Lushan, but it was quickly rejected.

The reason, of course, is that An Lushan was only a small Fan Yang Jiedu envoy at the time, and he was still sparing no effort to please the courtiers and spend money.

And he launched the riot, which was only implemented in the 12th year of Tianbao.

There was an interval of nine years, and it is almost certain that An Lushan did not do this.

But today, I personally solved this mystery, which makes sense, An Lushan has already become the son of Concubine Yang Gui.

At that time, it can be said that there was no other for a while, and his power was comparable to that of Yang Xiangguo, so why did he launch a rebellion!

The saint stood behind Liu Meng, his body trembling uncontrollably.

When Xu Bin appeared, he guessed that Xu Bin, a small eighth-rank official, was unable to complete this plan alone.

There must be someone behind it, and he always thought that it was the prince who planned behind it.

How could he know that it was done by a barbarian whom he completely despised.

His only thought at this time was that once he returned to the palace, he would decree to remove An Lushan from his official position and take his head, so as to prevent this barbarian from choleraing the Tang Dynasty again.

At this moment, his former pride was also shattered by the cruel facts, and he also understood the true meaning of the old saying, "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts."

Needless to say, when I was in the prime of my age, once I got old and couldn't hold a knife anymore, these barbarians would bark their fangs and bite Datang.

After Liu Meng knew that he had guessed right, he was naturally satisfied. All that was left was to hand over the saint to Guo Lishi, a person who was truly loyal to the saint.

Thinking of this, Liu Meng didn't intend to hide anymore.

Right here, waiting for these people to come to your door.

During the boring waiting time, Liu Meng suddenly remembered Zhang Xiaojing who was sentenced to death, so he said to the saint:
"Saint, let's wait here for Guo Lishi to pick you up, how about I discuss it with you?"

The sage who was still in a daze heard the words, raised his head to look at Liu Meng, and asked without the slightest anger:

"Oh, tell me, what do you want to discuss with me?"

Liu Meng didn't hide it either, he said with a smile:
"Look, Saint, since yesterday, Zhang Xiaojing has tried his best to investigate this case, although in the end I was coerced by me to participate in the hijacking of Saint.

But what about this man?I pretend to be a saint, Tang Dynasty, and Chang'an in my heart. . .

You see, can an imperial decree be issued to spare him the death penalty? "

Hearing this, the sage tilted his head and thought for a while, recalling what happened from last night to today.

He was hijacked, taken to see the people in Chang'an city living in dire straits, was secretly intercepted and killed, and was threatened by Xu Bin, and finally learned of An Lushan's disobedience.

He felt a lot of emotion for a while, thinking that although Liu Meng hijacked him, he did not harm his mind, but tried his best to protect himself.

My heart, which was originally full of hostility, couldn't help softening, sighed and said:

"Hey! Well, anyway, it's my son, so I'll decree to spare Zhang Xiaojing from the death penalty!"

Having said that, the sage looked at Liu Meng curiously and asked:

"Don't you think for yourself, don't ask me, and make a decree to exonerate you and Xiao Gui from the death penalty?"

Liu Meng heard the words, shook his head and said:

"That's impossible! Saint, you have to explain this hijacking incident to everyone in the world, so as to set an example to others! How is it possible to exonerate us from the crimes? Actually, I'm just talking about it!"

Having said that, Liu Meng sat down on the frame of the carriage, looked at the saint and said:

"Sage, look at this! After you return to the palace, you will still issue an order to hunt us down... But, it's just meaning!

How about some of us having a good time outside?After all, we helped you see the shortcomings of Datang clearly!Let you find out in advance, the disobedient person is not!What do you say, saint? "
