Spies?
There were actually spies in the palace!
This …
Things seemed to have really gotten out of hand!
Zhang Feng couldn't help but frown slightly.
Previously, he was only guessing and didn't pay much attention to Qiuci. However, after hearing Li Shimin's words, Zhang Feng had a feeling that a storm was coming.
Zhang Feng asked suspiciously, "Lao Li, are you trying to scare me? The palace is heavily guarded. How could a spy enter? Are you sure you didn't hear wrongly? "
Li Shimin didn't want to mishear, but what about the spy caught by the imperial guards in the imperial study last night?
He saw it with his own eyes!
Li Shimin was speechless. He laughed and said, "I wish I was joking, but look at me. Do I look like I'm joking?"
At this moment, Zhang Feng was a little embarrassed.
According to the records of later generations, although the restrictions in the palace during the early Tang Dynasty weren't very strict, if you had urgent matters, you could enter the palace in the middle of the night as long as you had a special order from the emperor. .
However, that was relative.
The Golden Guards were the best soldiers that were selected from the entire army. Every soldier who wanted to enter the Golden Guards had to sacrifice their own lives in order to do so.
If one wanted to enter the Golden Guards, they would have to kill a hundred enemies all by themselves and take the head of a leader of the enemy. Only then would one have the qualifications to enter the Golden Guards. However, this was only the qualifications. To truly enter the Golden Guards, one would have to go through an abnormal test.
Only those who were selected from the Jin Wu Guards were qualified to enter the imperial guards.
The top security system of the Imperial City was the Jinwu Guards. Basically, they were stationed at the gates of the important palaces, as well as the chambers of the Emperor and the Retired Emperor. The Imperial Guards were responsible for the security of the entire Imperial City. Although they were part of the same system, there was a clear distinction between them.
The most important thing was that the imperial guards were equivalent to the reserve department of the Jin Wu Guards. Once the Jin Wu Guards lacked people, they would directly choose from the imperial guards who didn't have any bad records in the past year and had excellent performance. Then, they would be selected from the external soldiers.
Of course, this was what the later generations figured out from the records in the old and new Tang Dynasty books. As for the real situation, only the current Jin Wu Guards knew.
Even if they were the most elite people of the Tang Dynasty, the spies and spies who sneaked into the palace must have been helped by someone!
If no one helped them, how could they get in?
Then there was really something fishy.
Zhang Feng couldn't help but think of a person.
"Are you saying that the people of the five families and seven clans helped them enter the palace?"
Zhang Feng looked at Li Shimin and asked.
Li Shimin took a deep puff of his cigarette, nodded, and then shook his head. "I'm not sure. For the time being, no one knows who did this, but I'm sure that someone opened the back door for the spies. As for who it is, the people in the palace are doing their best to find out. Moreover, the emperor is furious. The reason why Lord Zhangsun came to me last night was because the emperor wanted to get some Mitsubishi bayonets from you."
"No!"
Zhang Feng shook his head like a rattle-drum and said speechlessly, "Lao Li, after talking for so long, you just want to get some Mitsubishi bayonets from me!"
Li Shimin's face stiffened.
Although he said it very vaguely, he still couldn't hide it from Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng sighed and said, "As for how many Mitsubishi bayonets you want to sell to the emperor, that's your business. Now I heard from Li Gan that there are more than 3,000 Mitsubishi bayonets made, not including the ones sent to Old Niu. It's your business how you want to deal with them, but I still suggest that you give them to Qiuci first!"
"Why?"
Li Shimin was puzzled and said, "Now, if the matter in the imperial city is spread out, how do you think we can get these bayonets? After all, at this time, if the news that there are spies in the royal family of the Tang Dynasty is spread out, it will affect the morale of the army! "
"Who said that?" Zhang Feng asked and smiled faintly. .
Seeing Zhang Feng smile.
Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
This bastard seemed to have thought of something again and asked hurriedly, "Do you have a way?"
Zhang Feng nodded and asked, "Let me ask you, now, who wants to see the border most?"
Was there a need to ask?
Wasn't this what the people of the Five Surnames and Seven Clans did?
Once the border was in trouble, the emperor couldn't focus on dealing with the Five Surnames and Seven Clans and couldn't focus on finding the iron mine. This was an opportunity for them.
It was a diversion, a chance to give them a breath and a chance to infiltrate everywhere!
Li Shimin said without thinking, "Just say that it's the people of the Five Surnames and Seven Clans who are afraid that we will find the iron mine, right?"
Zhang Feng laughed and said, "It seems that you, Lao Li, have been with me for a long time and have learned to infer many things from one case!"
"Yes, it's the Five Surnames and Seven Clans!"
"Their goal is to stop us from finding the iron mine, so that they can infiltrate the place where we are looking for the iron mine. They can find the iron mine one step ahead of us and distract the emperor's attention. Most importantly, they can infiltrate my White Deer College! "
"But they don't think that Lao Tzu is easy to mess with. Lao Tzu has been guarding against them for a long time!"
