Night.
It was still very dark.
Although the sky was very good these days, no one knew what was going on.
During this period of time, the moon always hung above everyone's head early in the morning. By the time it was nine o 'clock in the evening, the moon had already fallen on the mountains of Qinling.
There was not even a single star in the sky.
It was so dull that it made people feel a little depressed when they saw it.
Taiji Palace.
In Li Shimin's bedroom.
Although it was already late at night, Li Shimin was still reading the mountainous pile of memorials by candlelight.
Almost half of these memorials were urgent requests for seeds, and the other half were reports of daily trifles. Li Shimin basically did not even look at these memorials and left them all to the Secretariat.
As long as it was not a serious matter, Li Shimin did not bother to pay attention to it now.
In the middle of the desk, there were more than a dozen vermilion memorials.
At this time, Li Shimin was reading these memorials. These memorials all came from the army.
To be precise, they were urgent reports from the major military camps stationed in the border. Only such urgent reports would use memorials of this color.
However, at this time, the content of the memorials gave Li Shimin a headache.
Zhenla was in internal strife, begging the Tang army to intervene. The Tubo and Tuyuhun rebels were also slowly making progress with the participation of the Tang Dynasty's army. However, Tubo and Tuyuhun were in urgent need of food, and now they were planning to send envoys to ask for food …
How could the Tang Dynasty have extra money and rice?
If they had any.
That would be good.
But the most important thing was that they did not!
On the other side, there was news from Li Jing in Youzhou. Li Jing said that the army of Tuli Khan was frequently deployed at the border, and Xieli's troops in Longyou Road were doing the same.
As for India.
Although there was no news at this time, Li Shimin vaguely felt that something seemed to be brewing in India. .
After all, most of the troops were gathered near Qiuci City. It would be strange if they didn't make any big moves.
The 100,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in Tubo and Tuyuhun should already be on their way to Qiuci. This seemed to be the reason for the unrest among the Indian and Turkic tribes.
As for Tubo and Tuyuhun, although there weren't any news, the recent rebellions in these two places didn't seem to have eased up at all. Instead, the situation was getting worse.
They seemed to be deliberately delaying the speed of the Tang Dynasty's army heading west.
This was what gave him the biggest headache.
In addition, there was the unforeseen event in Chang 'an at this time, the pair of invisible hands, and Zhang Feng's words that there seemed to be a person stirring up the situation. Moreover, this person seemed to know the situation of the Tang Dynasty and the situation in the palace like the back of his hand. ,
This person was the one who gave Li Shimin the most headaches.
Li Shimin rubbed his forehead with some distress.
Although Zhang Feng didn't say all this clearly, Li Shimin knew that there seemed to be someone in the imperial court behind this matter, and this person must be in a high position and power. But who on earth was this person?
This was what worried Li Shimin the most.
After coming down from Mount Xiao, Li Shimin had been thinking about this matter, but until now, he still couldn't figure out a clue.
At this time.
At the door of the bedroom, Xiao Guizi gently knocked on the door.
Seeing this, Li Shimin hurriedly came to his senses and coughed. Seeing this, Xiao Guizi hurriedly pushed open the door a crack and bent over to enter Li Shimin's study.
Li Shimin seemed to have made an agreement with Xiao Guizi. As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Guizi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, just now the spy reported that a house near Jiacheng was on fire."
Generally, such things didn't need to be reported to him, but at this time, Xiao Guizi personally said it. Li Shimin instantly noticed that something was different. He waved his hand and said, "Tell me in detail!"
"Earlier today, our spies discovered that people wearing night clothes were entering the house one after another. At first, our people really didn't notice this inconspicuous house, but the strange thing was that this house's windows and doors were all covered with quilts, and only those people could see when they entered, so the spies went forward to investigate. Although they didn't hear anything, after these people left for a meal, the house caught fire."
Li Shimin was stunned and said, "You mean … Did they catch them?"
Xiao Guizi hurriedly said, "They were caught, but these people didn't say anything. Even the cruelest torture was useless …"
"However, a name occasionally came out of these people's mouths."
When Li Shimin heard this, his body instantly trembled and said, "What name?"
"My Lord!"
When Li Shimin heard that, he was about to explode in anger.
My Lord!
That was a name?
However, these two words made him even more certain of a problem. That was, what happened in this house must be related to that pair of big hands!
When he thought of this, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Pass down the message. Investigate at all costs! Also, can these people be caught? Has the fire been controlled? "
"Basically, everyone who came out of the house has been caught and is trying their best to put out the fire."
When Li Shimin heard this, he suddenly stood up and waved his sleeves and said, "Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you have to find out the secret of this house for me! Also, seal the city and strictly investigate anyone who comes and goes after the curfew tonight! "
