Chapter 127: The Lord's Worries
"Why did you suddenly ask about the little princess?"
Li Shimin asked with some curiosity: "Second brother, haven't you been messing around with the eldest grandson Shunde and them every day recently, how can you still care about your second brother?"
At this time, Li Xuanba was almost taken away by the eldest grandson Shunde and Gongsun Wuda. After work every day, these colleagues in the forbidden army will take Li Xuanba to wander around the streets of Luoyang City.
Now that the gentlemen in Beijing should know, Li Xuanba has basically mastered it, what kind of sound dogs and horses, Hulu drinking pheasants, this guy has experienced them one by one.
If he didn't know these three brothers, he would still be able to control his heart, and only the women would not touch, and he would practice martial arts every day and never slack off. He almost knocked on the door to make those guys look good.
"Look at what you said, second brother, no matter how I mess with them, I can't ignore my second brother, right? Isn't this worried that you will be bullied by that girl? I heard Brother Shunde and Brother Wu Da say that you have a lot of grievances with her. β
Li Xuanba said this, but his eyes flickered slightly: "I don't know if the second brother has heard of it, there have been rumors in the palace recently, saying that the second brother probably wants the lord-"
The so-called lord is married to the princess.
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but turn black for a while. Although he had guessed that this would happen when the little princess pestered him, when it did, he still felt as disgusting as swallowing a fly.
This is the reason why he regarded Yang Ying's consultation as a trouble, not a welfare. After all, he Li Shimin is a foreign minister, and the eyes and opinions of others must not be ignored.
He didn't know what Yuwen Shi and His Royal Highness the Empress were thinking, and why they didn't care about the defense of men and women at all, but he himself couldn't deliberately remind him.
For a little girl who is less than eight years old, he thinks about obscenity, isn't this worse than a beast?
"Most of it is Yang Jishan's handiwork, don't pay attention to it. β
Li Shimin sneered and shook his head slightly: "I have my own success in this matter,"
Fortunately, he was very careful, and every day when Yang Ying came to ask him for advice, there would always be two or three people present. or the eunuch brought by Yang Ying, or her maid. His own behavior is also in accordance with the law, and he will never exceed the rules.
Therefore, even if the rumors of this 'Shang Lord' reach the ears of Her Royal Highness the Queen, the latter will be able to distinguish the truth from the false and know his innocence.
When His Highness realizes that something is wrong, this troublesome matter that gives him a headache will naturally be over.
However, when it came to Yang Jishan, a trace of murder flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.
Although this person's actions are not a big threat to him, they have always come, and they are always as annoying as flies.
Li Shimin will not forget that the turmoil in the East Courtyard of Dou Mansion is likely to have a share of this.
Now that Han Wang Yang Xuan is temporarily confined, Su Yi is also sick in bed, and there is only one Yang Jishan, who is still alive and well.
It's time to solve this problem yourself. has been 'taken care of' by Yang Jishan so many times, he can't help but pay tribute in return-
"Oh yes!"
Li Shimin turned his head again at this time: "Xuanba, your Bull Demon Armor, you can give it to me." Now that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and now there is a lack of your power coreββ"
When Li Xuanba heard this, his face suddenly distorted, and he looked at his brother with a tangled expression: "Brother, do you have to do this? Can you succeed in the end? Don't fail in the end, so that my Bull Demon Armor is useless, and I end up empty-handed." β
Li Shimin smiled dumbly: "I am confident that the combat power of this armor will exceed that of the Bull Demon by seventy." But if you don't want to, then forget it. At most, I will put a little effort into getting a new power core for my brother. Whether to give it or not, you make up your own mind!"
After saying this, he rode his horse with a leisurely expression and continued to move forward. Li Xuanba, who was in the back, was pale and struggling.

Almost when Li Shimin was slandered by Her Royal Highness the Queen because of Yang Ying's matter. The latter was in the Yong'an Palace, her eyes like ice blades, scanning the ministers in front of her.
And in addition to Yu Shiji, the servant of the internal history, and Su Wei, there are also Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, Dong Chun, the general of the left body, Liu Kai, the secretary of the palace, Kong Shao'an, the embroidered clothes, Tang Yuanhua, Cheng Wuhua of Henan County, etc., all of whom are the cronies and ministers of the Son of Heaven who stayed in Luoyang.
But these powerful and powerful beings in the court were all trembling at this time, and they were prostrate in front of the throne with a look of shame.
"In other words, so far, this is the 'Nine Prisons' that have plagued Luoyang, not only can they not be suppressed, but they are getting worse, right?"
Empress Xiao sighed lightly and rubbed her eyebrows with her hands: "The Son of Heaven personally conquered Liaodong and entrusted you to preside over the government because of his trust in you. But that's how you repay the Son of Heaven? orβ"
Empress Xiao's voice paused slightly, and her eyes were cold: "Do you think that the women and children in this palace are stupid and can be bullied?"
"Don't dare!"
Everyone obviously felt that the atmosphere in this hall was even colder.
Don't drive Tang Yuanhua in embroidered clothes, his face has long been pale: "It's all slaves and maids who are incompetent, so that Xiaoxiao can be presumptuous!"
Cheng Wuhua of Henan County was also sincerely frightened and ashamed: "Recently, there have been a swarm of rebels in the city, and the soldiers have been disturbing, all of which are the fault of the ministers who neglected their duties. The minister is willing to be punished, and he may ask His Highness to surrender his sin!"
When Empress Xiao heard this, she shook her head slightly: "This palace has summoned you here today, not to listen to your pleas! Now that the battle of Liaodong is in the ascendant, the palace can't let the Son of Heaven worry about the war, but also worry about the east and west, saying that the queen of the palace can't even see her home. β
Tang Yuanhua and Wu Hua couldn't help but be speechless.
These days, the Henan County Government and the embroidered guards have actually done their best. But the chaos in Luoyang City is still intensifying.
The two of them have long been helpless, they can only treat headaches and pains, but they have no clue how to suppress this disaster in the capital.
Fortunately, after Xiao, he didn't count on them, and directly asked the two consuls present: "Yu, Su Erqing, Your Majesty ordered you to assist the two of you in the palace to supervise the country, but you and the others are so attached to the assistance?
When Yu Shiji heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Su Wei on the other side.
After that, the former smiled faintly and spoke first: "Your Highness, the minister has been worried about this for the past few days, it can be said that he can't sleep well, and his food is not sweet! After a few nights, he finally gained a little, and he didn't dare to say that he would be able to cure the Luoyang Rebellion, but he would definitely be able to curb the thieves a little!"
"Really?"
Empress Xiao looked at this inner history waiter suspiciously. I saw that the latter's handsome face, with fair skin and radiant looks, didn't look like he couldn't sleep at a banquet and couldn't eat well.
But that's not the point, after she shook her head slightly, she asked sincerely: "What countermeasures does Yu Aiqing have, might as well come and listen?"
"So far, the ministers have thought about four strategies, the first strategy is to increase the troops in Luoyang to make up for the lack of manpower in the forbidden army!"
As Yu Shiji spoke, he paid attention to Empress Xiao's complexion: "The minister knows what His Highness's concerns are, but now Henan is in turmoil, and there are many tigers and wolves in the Quartet, and the garrisons everywhere cannot be easily mobilized. And even if there is an increase in troops, it may not be reliable. β
"This palace is worried about this! But Yu Aiqing has a good plan?"
"I think Your Highness, you must have forgotten Tailingwei! In the past, when the first emperor was buried, the Son of Heaven allocated 30,000 forbidden troops and set up Tailingwei to guard the tomb of the first emperor. As far as the minister knows, these soldiers and horses are all soldiers of the Yang family that have been passed down from generation to generation, and they are not the same as the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. His Royal Highness only needs to transfer 15,000 Tailing guards into the capital, so that the city will be full of ghosts and charms, and they will not dare to move lightly!"
When Empress Xiao heard this, she couldn't help but move slightly, and then her eyes were full of joy.
Yu Shiji said eloquently at this time: "The second policy is a curfew, after which all squares should be blocked, and no entry or exit from inside and outside! Those who walk at night on the streets without an official government can be killed immediately! Your Highness, now is not the time to be afraid of face, and the minister thinks that this policy can last until the day when the Son of Heaven returns to the capital. β
"As for the third strategy, there is now a Qi county to guard Zhang Xutuo, who is extremely brave in martial arts, and has great courage, and can lead the twelve counties of Henan Province to arrest the ambassador! There is also Wang Shichong, the palace supervisor of Jiangdu, who is resourceful and proficient in the art of war, and can be promoted to Jiangdu Cheng, and ordered him to recruit 10,000 new troops to help defend Jiangdu. β
"Zhang Xutuo and Wang Shichong?"
Empress Xiao asked with a puzzled expression: "Yu Aiqing, it doesn't matter if the Tailing Guard enters Beijing and the curfew, but what is the matter with these two! It sounds like it has nothing to do with Dongdu?"
"It has nothing to do with the Eastern Capital, but it has something to do with Liaodong!"
At this time, it was Su Wei who answered, and his face was solemn and cold: "The purpose of Yu Shilang is to serve Yongji and Tongji Erqu. Now what those tigers and wolves are doing is nothing more than to disturb the morale of the Liaodong army and the bad plan of the Son of Heaven to calm Liao. Therefore, the imperial court only needs to calm down and ensure the food supply of the army. And Zhang Xutuo and Wang Shichong, the ministers have all heard of it, although they are not famous, they are all good at fighting!"
"There is also a fourth policy!" Yu Shiji smiled conceitedly: "Your Highness may wish to ask the world to make a special decree to order Guozi Temple to recruit 100 people in Guanxi, and reconsider the military exploits since the first year of the emperor's reign, and use the forbidden military position to cover the meritorious clan." If you can, you can also invite the great Confucians of the world to redefine the surname list!"
This policy, Empress Xiao doesn't need to ask, it is known to be a good policy.
Although no minister had ever mentioned it in her ears, she knew that behind the Luoyang Rebellion, there were only many figures related to the Western Shi clan.
And the reason why the latter acted like this was because it was dissatisfaction with the fact that the Son of Heaven had suppressed the Kansai clan as the norm.
The expansion of Guozi Temple and the shadow of the martial arts are co-opted, and the re-establishment of the surname record is differentiated, which is enough to make those Kansai generals flawless-
"Yu Shilang's strategies are very good!"
Empress Xiao's body leaned back, and she had lived up to her previous urgency: "Except for the third and fourth two strategies, this palace needs to ask the Son of Heaven, and the other two strategies can be drafted immediately!"
After that, she saw Su Wei on the side, with a look of wanting to say something, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Su Aiqing, but do you have words to teach the palace?"
Empress Xiao's words can be described as Mount Tai's overpower.
