Li Ye smiled slightly and said, "Then tell me, I'm all ears!"
"Your Highness, the sixty Khitan warriors and the sixty Goguryeo warriors went in two directions. The sixty Khitan warriors were arranged by Zhu Tao. Quan's Inn is also the intelligence point of Youzhou Jiedu Mansion in Luoyang.
Today, I interrogated the clerk at Quan's Inn and found out that Zhu Tao had entrusted the Khitan warriors to Quan Nansheng, and Quan Nansheng arranged for sixty Khitan warriors to be sent to Yique County.
The sixty Goguryeo warriors were arranged not by Zhu Tao but by the Goguryeo Mutual Aid Association in Youzhou to Luoyang. Quan Nansheng arranged for the sixty people to live in the city. Why were they not caught while riding horses in the city? Why did these six go after assassinating His Highness?
Ten people were able to return to the city in the middle of the night, has Your Highness thought of the reason?"
"Wang Siyi!" Li Ye blurted out.
"Yes! The general manager of the Plum Blossom Guard is Li Fuguo, and the deputy general manager is Wang Siyi. In fact, the actual control of the Plum Blossom Guard is in Wang Siyi's hands, so these sixty Goguryeo warriors can travel unimpeded in Luoyang and enter the city in the middle of the night."
Duguming next to him smiled and said: "Wang Siyi must have taken a fancy to these sixty Goguryeo warriors!"
Peng Haiyan gave a thumbs up, "The Prince Consort is absolutely right. Wang Siyi is from Goguryeo and he needs to promote a group of people from his own clan. How can he not be tempted by the arrival of these sixty Goguryeo people who are highly skilled in martial arts?"
Li Ye pondered for a moment and asked: "I want to know, are there any other Goguryeo people under Wang Siyi?"
"have!"
Dugu Ming said lightly: "I know this very well. There used to be a Goguryeo camp under Wang Sili, with about two thousand people, all Goguryeo, and the leader was Wang Siyi. Later, in the Battle of Tongguan, this Goguryeo camp was almost completely destroyed, only
The remaining more than 100 people followed Wang Siyi and fled to the other side of the Yellow River. These more than 100 people became Wang Siyi's confidants. Later, Wang Siyi became the commander of the third battalion of the Shence Army. He was also favored by Li Fuguo and served as the deputy general manager of the Meihua Guard.
These more than 100 Goguryeo people have been following him as the capital commander, and now they serve as generals at all levels of the Plum Blossom Guard, helping Wang Siyi control the Plum Blossom Guard."
Li Ye nodded and asked again: "Is the Goguryeo Huzhu in Youzhou a subordinate of Zhu Tao?"
"I can clearly tell Your Highness, no!"
Dugulie said: "This organization was established during the reign of Emperor Gaozong. At most, there were hundreds of thousands of people. They also supported the Gaozang rebellion. Now there are at least hundreds of thousands of people. They have always been a big force in Youzhou.
, located in Pingzhou, can be said to be the headquarters of the Goguryeo people."
"Pingzhou?" Li Ye was shocked. The governor of Pingzhou was Li Huai!
Li Ye nodded slowly, "Li Siyi led his army to Yongtaifang that day. The real purpose was to save the thirty Goguryeo people staying at Quan's Inn."
"That's right!"
Peng Haiyan added: "He found that most of the Goguryeo warriors were dead, so he didn't take action. He was not here to save Quan Nansheng. Later, he found out that the matter was serious. He was worried that he would be involved, so he handed over the other thirty Goguryeo warriors.
To His Highness, he is afraid that Your Highness will continue to pursue it and discover his other secrets."
Li Ye walked a few steps with his hands behind his back: "Looking at it this way, the Khitans may have other intentions, so they sent sixty Goguryeo warriors to Luoyang."
Dugulie sneered, "It should be said that the Goguryeo Mutual Aid Association in Youzhou has another collusion with the Khitan people. The Khitan people acted in two scenes, one with Zhu Tao and the other with the Goguryeo people. Wang Siyi also
It’s hard to escape the relationship.”
"Is General Wang Sili also related to the Mutual Aid Association of Goguryeo people in Youzhou?" Li Ye asked.
Dugu Lie shook his head, "Wang Sili has nothing to do with it. Wang Siyi's problem is with his wife. His wife's name is Yu Wenfan. She is the daughter of Yu Wentong and the cousin of your father's ex-wife Yu Wenluo.
Later, the Yuwen family all went to Youzhou to seek refuge with Anlu Mountain, but they were not highly regarded by Anlu Mountain. It is said that as descendants of the Northern Zhou royal family, they married the descendants of the Goguryeo royal family and became powerful in Youzhou. I guess Wang Siyi was
His wife joined the Youzhou Goguryeo Mutual Aid Association.
In addition, he himself is also a Goguryeo, so he does not reject it. With the strong financial resources of the Goguryeo people behind him, Wang Siyi was reused by Yu Chaoen and Li Fuguo successively."
Khitan - Goguryeo - Wang Siyi - Li Fuguo, after clarifying this relationship, Li Ye's thinking suddenly became clear.
Zhu Tao is really a pawn who is being used.
Li Ye suddenly thought of Li Huai. He was appointed as the governor of Pingzhou? He was also the stepson of the Yuwen family. I am afraid he also had a deep relationship with the Goguryeo people.
No wonder he refused to write a letter to his father, no wonder he wanted to send his son to his father. I'm afraid things are not that simple, and he probably didn't tell the truth.
Is the daughter of the Lu family he married from the Lu family of Goguryeo, or the Lu family of Fanyang?
Peng Haiyan wanted to have a detailed discussion with the Dugu brothers, so Li Ye got up and went to find his wife.
Dugu Xinyue was chatting with her sister Dugu Taiwei. Li Ye came over. Dugu Taiwei suddenly turned red and stood up to leave, but Dugu Xinyue grabbed him.
"Don't run, sit down for me!"
"What are you talking about?" Li Ye asked with a smile.
Dugu Xinyue smiled and said: "Are we talking about what gifts to buy for the children?"
"What do you think about Taiwei?"
Dugu Tai blushed slightly and said: "Luoyang Dafuchang's dim sum is very famous and has many styles. I suggest you buy more. It's cold anyway, so you don't have to worry about it spoiling."
"What do you think, madam?"
Dugu Xinyue smiled and said: "I think so too. Anyway, those guys like to eat. They are happiest when buying snacks."
Li Ye nodded, "We'll leave the day after tomorrow, you know!"
The two of them nodded and said, "We have been notified that more than a hundred large vehicles will set off, including more than twenty monks, who will follow along the way."
At this time, Dugu Taiwei's mother called her, and she finally found an excuse to leave.
Dugu Xinyue said apologetically to her husband: "If I had known that my grandmother's coffin was going back to Chang'an, then I would not have come to Luoyang, and my husband would have been assassinated. Oh!"
Li Ye comforted her and said: "It is right for you to come to Luoyang for the funeral, but the meaning is different."
Dugu Xinyue was silent. She remembered something and said, "Qiming and Taiwei fell out, did you know?"
"Is it because of Tai Wei's marriage?"
Dugu Xinyue smiled bitterly and nodded: "I really don't know what she thinks?"
"Why is she still unsettled? Didn't she marry Yuan Zhen, the second grandson of Yuan Yuan? He is also the direct grandson!"
Dugu Xinyue sighed, "She has always been unsettled. When she took a place in the Dugu family to marry the prince, it was originally my place. Later, my grandmother gave this place to Taiwei, and she took it away. Now it seems
Taiwei wanted to marry you, but she felt uncomfortable again and accused Taiwei of taking her place, which made Taiwei cry."
"Wait a minute!"
Li Ye suddenly felt something was wrong, "What do you mean, madam, you were originally going to marry Prince Li Yu?"
