"Your Majesty, you may not know that there are many villages outside Chang'an City that have suffered from the plague. And the number is so large that it is more terrifying than any previous period or dynasty of our Han Dynasty."
Queen Changsun said.
plague!!
Li Er's pupils suddenly shrank, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
In the villages surrounding Chang'an City, he had originally sent imperial doctors to diagnose and treat them, but they were all helpless. In Chang'an City, because of the elixir, the outbreak of the plague was relatively alleviated.
"So, the plague was caused by the Xuanwu Order?"
After a while, Li Er suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty is wise!!"
Queen Changsun praised it.
"Hiss~~"
Hearing Queen Changsun's words, Li Er took a deep breath and his eyelids twitched wildly.
The amount of information Queen Changsun said was terrifying.
Xuanwu Order!
It was actually a plague caused by the Xuanwu Order outside Chang'an City!!!
Although Li Er is busy with government affairs, he is by no means dull. On the contrary, as a king of a country, his wisdom is not inferior to anyone else, and he immediately figured out the key.
The Xuanwu Order is a specially made token of the Li family's royal family. It is a token used to communicate with Emperor Li's relatives and the forces under his command. Once you hold it, you can sense each other no matter how far apart they are.
Now that this token has appeared, it means that Li Jiancheng and others are very likely to be in Chang'an City.
Li Er had thousands of thoughts in his mind.
"Send the order and summon the ministers to discuss matters."
Li Er quickly issued the order.
After a while, I heard the sound of footsteps, and soon I saw a large number of court officials arriving one after another.
At this time, a figure was standing next to a carriage.
It was a young man, tall and slender, wearing a blue shirt, holding the reins, standing beside the carriage and waiting quietly.
The moment he saw this young man, Li Er's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Qin Shubao!"
Yes, this young man on horseback was none other than the iron-blooded general Qin Shubao who accompanied Yang Su in the late Sui Dynasty.
Moreover, at this moment, Qin Shubao is still holding a Fangtian painted halberd in his hand, which is covered with mottled rust, giving people a sense of historical vicissitudes.
"I see my emperor."
At this moment, Qin Shubao quickly dismounted his horse and paid his respects.
Qin Shubao was a loyal general who followed Yang Guang through life and death, and he also had a high degree of awe for Yang Guang.
"Plain body."
Li Er raised his hand, and then asked: "Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in Chang'an City now?"
"Your Majesty, I have been ordered by the Grand Master to protect your safety."
Qin Shubao said respectfully.
"Grand Master, Yang Su."
Hearing Qin Shubao mention the word Yang Su, Li Er's eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of trance, and he was thoughtful.
Yang Su!!
Thinking of these two words, a complex look flashed in the corner of Li Er's eyes.
At the time of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Su's status even surpassed that of Li Yuan.
When Li Yuan was at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he was a person whom Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty relied heavily on.
But Yang Su was different. He was a talent personally supported by Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.
Both the strategy and the command of the army are top-notch.
But later, after Li Er inherited the Tang Dynasty, Yang Su gradually retreated behind the scenes, retreated to the rear and ignored the government affairs.
After Li Er ascended the throne, he was rewarded very generously, but Yang Su still refused to accept it. He only left Chang'an City with his wife, children and children and entered Youzhou.
Not only that, after Yang Su's death, he also took away all his connections in Chang'an City.
It can be said that the entire Yang family has completely declined in just a few months.
"Qin Shubao, since you are here, I will leave this matter to you."
Li Er pondered for a moment, glanced around the hall, and finally stopped on an old man, saying indifferently.
The old man's name was Yang Yilian. He was the leader of Yang Su's followers in Youzhou and the core figure of the Yang family.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When Qin Shubao heard this, he nodded immediately, bowed and said.
"Your Majesty, the secrets in the Xuanwu Order must be revealed as soon as possible. No matter who the force behind it is, anyone who dares to touch our country, the Tang Dynasty, must pay a heavy price."
Yang Yilian said.
Li Er nodded and said, "I know you have worked hard during this period."
"It's the duty of an old minister."
Yang Yilian quickly waved his hand and said.
Li Er nodded and waved the ministers to disperse, leaving only Qin Shubao and Yang Yilian.
Yang Su had not been in Chang'an for a long time, but he was very aware of the various interpersonal relationships in Chang'an and the people in the court, especially the tokens that controlled the world's public opinion.
This kind of thing is usually placed in the imperial court or in a certain prince's mansion, but now, the Xuanwu Order suddenly appears. There is no doubt that someone must be using the Xuanwu Order to stir up trouble.
But who could this person be?
There was a strong evil aura between Li Er's brows.
At the same time, at the other end, in a huge mansion three hundred miles away from Chang'an City.
In the house.
A middle-aged man wearing a purple robe sat in the courtyard.
His body is tall and strong, his face is full of coldness, and his whole body exudes a ferocious aura, like a battlefield tiger that kills decisively, making people intimidated.
This person was surprisingly the general Xue Rengui who had served as a vanguard officer in the Yellow Turban Army and killed the Yellow Turban Qushuai.
In front of Xue Rengui, a woman in black knelt respectfully on the ground.
"My lord, my subordinates have infiltrated into Chang'an City according to your instructions. They have also left a signal on the Xuanwu Order. However, the Xuanwu Order is a jade pendant after all and has no specific shape. It is not easy to find at all."
The woman in black spoke.
"Um!!"
Xue Rengui nodded slightly and said: "However, as long as the Xuanwu Order appears in Chang'an City, people will definitely recognize it. You have done a good job. Remember, as long as there is news, it will be passed on. There is no need to hide anything."
"yes!!"
The woman in black nodded and immediately took the order.
"Okay, please step back first."
Xue Rengui said.
"yes!!"
The woman in black responded and quickly disappeared into the night.
"I hope you won't disappoint me."
Xue Rengui's lips moved and he murmured to himself.
The next day, a shocking news came out from Chang'an City.
In the ruins in the east of the city, a batch of ancient books were found. These ancient books were left behind by Yang Su, and they contained virus-related information about the plague, including the origin of the plague, etc.
This incident quickly swept through the entire city of Chang'an and even spread throughout the world.
"What? The plague was caused by the Xuanwu Order. The Xuanwu Order is a black bird pattern. Could it be a black bird?"
In Chang'an City, all the people were talking a lot.
