Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Early the next morning, Li Chongrun came to the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace early and told his father the results.

"Did Fan Xin really say that?" Li Xian sat in a high position and looked at his son.

"Father, this is absolutely true. Duke Yan said that he only recognizes the imperial grandmother in the whole world."

"If you want to secure your position as prince, you should learn the four words of being diligent and caring for the people."

Bang!

Li Xian slapped the big case with his palm and said with an ashen expression.

"It's clear that you look down on Gu. It's simply too much!"

Yuan Shuji on the side said gloomily: "Your Highness, please calm down. Without him and Fan Xin, we can still sit firmly in the East Palace."

"I heard from the Ministry of Rites that Mo Chui Khan led a huge Turkic envoy to the Great Zhou Dynasty half a month ago."

"I want to choose a son-in-law who can ride a dragon quickly among the descendants of the royal family to show the friendship between the two countries."

"If one of our people marries a Turkic princess, he will definitely become a great contributor to the alliance between the two countries."

"When the time comes, with the great achievements of the alliance within the country and the strong support of the Turks from the outside, won't your ascending to the throne be as secure as Mount Tai?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers present nodded in agreement.

"Yes, it is a pity to lose Fan Xin, but it will also help to suppress Wu Sansi's side if the alliance between the two countries is promoted."

"Instead of wasting time on Fan Xin, we should think about which prince is more suitable to win the favor of the Turkic princess."

Li Xian sat back and touched his chin thoughtfully.

He had several children, the most outstanding of whom was Li Chongrun. Whether it was his martial arts skills or his handsome appearance, he was the best candidate to win the favor of the Turkic princess.

After thinking about this, Li Xian and Princess Wei looked at each other and said to Li Chongrun.

"Xiao Run, how about you compete for the Turkic Prince Consort?"

Although Li Chongrun was reluctant, he had no choice but to hold his fist and say no.

"The child is willing to marry a Turkic princess."

"Okay, okay, I am worthy of being a responsible son!"

Li Xian smiled happily and looked at the ministers.

"Everyone, please go back and prepare carefully. This time when the Turkic envoys come to visit, we must overwhelm Wu Sansi!"

"I understand! I will go back and arrange relevant matters."

After the ministers left the East Palace, they walked towards the imperial gate in groups.

What no one noticed was that a thin official quietly left the crowd and headed towards Prince Liang's Mansion.

"His Royal Highness Prince Liang, the Turkic envoy has arrived near Luoyang and is currently visiting Nanyang."

"You must find a way as soon as possible to prevent the prince from marrying the Turkic princess."

Wu Sansi's eyes flashed with a cold light and he sneered.

"It is simply a dream to use the opportunity of marrying a Turkic princess to overwhelm me."

"Come here, summon Qiu Di and Zhong Ai quickly!"

Not long after, two men with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked into the hall and clasped their fists on one knee.

"I will finally meet His Royal Highness Prince Liang!"

"Everyone, get up."

Signaling the two of them to get up, Wu Sansi said in a deep voice: "I have come to you this time because I have an important matter for you to handle."

"Remember, no matter what the cost, the Turkic princess must be killed in Nanyang, and she must not be allowed to be married by Li Chongrun!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the two of us will lead the dead soldiers to Nanyang overnight to attack the Turkic mission!" The two big men left Prince Liang's Mansion with fists in hand.

At the same time, the door of the General's Mansion slowly opened, and Fan Xin led a group of subordinates to Tai Feng Tower for dinner.

This time, in order to celebrate his successor, he specially withdrew twenty copper coins from the accounting room and hosted ten banquets.

After everyone sat down, Fan Xin said energetically with a towel wrapped around his head.

"Brothers, there is no need to be polite to me. Eat with open arms. The food and wine will be enough!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Guo. The sun finally comes out to the west. We will definitely not save you." Li Lang laughed.

Fan Xin smiled at him and said, "Li Lang, I remember that you took ten pieces of good rice paper from the study a few days ago to practice writing."

"Let's charge you two bucks for a piece of paper, which will just offset the money for food and drinks."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall burst into laughter, and all the generals gloated and laughed at Li Lang.

While laughing, Fan Xin put down his wine glass and went to the first floor to pay. When passing by the hall, he only heard a group of businessmen talking.

"It's really hard to do business these days. I almost fell into trouble in Wollongong."

A burly businessman put down his wine cup and shook his head.

"Oh, what does Brother Boya mean by this? Nanyang is not far from the gods, so there should be no danger, right?"

Hearing this, the businessman named Boya said with lingering fear.

"Forget it, this morning when I was passing through Wollongong with twenty carts of medicinal materials, a group of thieves suddenly appeared and wanted to kill us."

"At any rate, we had to pay eighty thousand dollars before letting us leave."

"It's really scary to think about it."

Hearing these words, the other businessmen looked at each other.

"No way, we used to go to Wollongong a lot and didn't find any thieves."

"Maybe he's new here. Let's not talk about it. Let's drink and drink."

After taking the copper coins back, Fan Xin thought for a while and went straight to the table and hugged a few people.

"I would like to ask some brothers, did the thieves in Wollongong hijack the medicinal materials?"

Seeing that it was a handsome young scholar, a businessman named Boya cupped his fists and returned the favor.

"To be honest, sir, these thieves just let us come over after accepting some token money."

Fan Xin thanked him and returned to the second floor. When he noticed that his expression was wrong, Zhang Huan asked.

"What's wrong, Lord Guo? A group of thieves can just report it to the official. There's no need to worry, right?"

"Thief?"

Fan Xin sneered: "Since he is a thief, he must kill people and grab goods, but these people only took a token amount of money. Don't you think it's a bit strange?"

Zhang Huan was startled and looked thoughtful.

"Yeah, it doesn't make sense that the thieves don't steal expensive medicinal materials but only take some copper coins."

Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Fan Xin.

"My lord, do you mean they are pretending to be thieves, but they actually have another mission?"

"This should be.."

Fan Xin frowned and said: "These people didn't kill the merchants because they didn't want to attract the attention of the government. In addition, the Turkic envoys were visiting Wollongong in Nanyang."

"If my prediction is correct, this group of people should be heading towards the Turkic mission!"

"I want to assassinate them in the Great Zhou Dynasty without anyone noticing, thus triggering a war between the two countries."

"I have to say that his intentions are extremely vicious."

Fan Xin was frightened when he thought about the consequences of this incident.

If he hadn't met the businessman, he wouldn't have known that there was such a big crisis hidden under the emperor's feet.

At this thought, Fan Xin stood up and said solemnly.

"The matter is urgent and there is no time to report it to the court. Let's go to Nanyang ourselves to prevent this crisis!"

"Yes!"

The guards clasped their fists and followed Fan Xin on their horses towards Nanyang.

The stakes were high, and this time he had to keep the Turkic mission no matter what.

Especially the little girl Princess Yinzhu!
