The Son of Heaven left Vimo alone and spoke for a while.

Erlang waited in the study, silently thinking about the situation in Jiankang.

In his opinion, even if Li Hu really called, Jiankang would not be in danger of survival.

-- There are only a few tens of thousands, but after seventeen or eighteen years, how many can be gathered? And he has lived with the Han people in Jiangnan for many years, and his martial arts have long been unfamiliar. It may be better than ordinary people, but compared with the regular official army, it is still invincible.

Not to mention the need to break through the Yangtze River defense line and the stone city defense.

The real crisis of Jiankang is not actually the rebellion, but the sudden fall of the Son of Heaven when the fire broke out on all sides.

In the event that the people's hearts are in turmoil as a result, and the war in the four directions will be as rout as it was during the Northern Expedition, it will be a real lack of rehabilitation.

Erlang couldn't help but think in his heart, if Vimo couldn't stabilize the situation, this might not be an opportunity for him...... But it's just a flash of thought.

He knew very well in his heart that now was not the time to fight for power. Brothers are against the wall, and they are insulted outside. The most important thing now is to work with Vimo to calm the overall situation. It is also so that my father can recuperate with peace of mind.

Not long after, Wei Mo came out of the hall with Gu Jinglou.

Erlang stepped forward, and after greeting each other, Vimo said to Gu Jinglou, "I will entrust it to you Lingyun." ”

Gu Jinglou said, "I am willing to serve dogs and horses." ”

Gu Jinglou retired and left. Erlang faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he still couldn't hold back, and said, "It's rare for him to come here, won't the eldest brother let the third sister meet him?" ”

Vimo said, "I mentioned it, and he said that the current situation is critical, and he has no time to take care of his children's private affairs. He added, "I also feel that there will be an opportunity to meet in the future, and the most important thing now is to make Gu Gong enter the king of Jingqin." ”

Erlang was silent for a moment and said, "Brother wants him to go to Jiangzhou to deliver the decree?" ”

Vimo said, "Yes, I have ordered him to go south immediately. ”

Erlang endured a few endurances - if he persuaded Wei Mo to leave Gu Jinglou in Jiankang at this time, he would inevitably appear narrow-minded. I am afraid that it will make Gu Huai and Gu Jinglou jealous. But he still couldn't help but feel that working with a frank and sincere gentleman like Vimo really made him feel unpleasant in his throat, but he spit out in vain to highlight his villainous heart.

In the end, he still dissuaded, "The city is the right time to employ people." It's rare that he came from Runan and is familiar with the habits of the rebels, so why didn't Brother stay by his side for consultation? Going to Jiangzhou to preach such a trivial matter is not necessary for him. ”

Wei Mo looked at Gu Jinglou's back from afar, and said indifferently, "There is a lot of help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust." On the one hand, he urgently passed the edict to Gu Gong into Beijing, but on the other hand, he forcibly detained his son in Jiankang, and spread it out, what would the princes of the Quartet think? ”

Erlang's words choked in his mouth - Vimo is really not confused, but he has to have a good reputation in everything, which makes it difficult for Erlang to go all the way with him.

But then again, Vimo is the crown prince. Since Erlang wants to assist him at this moment, he naturally shouldn't compete with him for a good name.

Vimo asked again, "Ling Yun said that Li Hu has an internal response in the city, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Erlang put aside the suspicion for the time being, and said, "If you investigate it on a large scale, it will disturb people's hearts in vain." It is better to make secret visits in private, choose reliable and credible people to guard the key points, and strengthen the patrol on the river. He added, "All that Nei should be able to do is to lead the rebels across the river, create chaos in the city, and take advantage of the chaos to open the city gates...... As long as Danyang Yin and Chengshu are careful to take precautions, there is no chance to take advantage of it. ”

He felt that the matter was not worth making a big fuss.

Vimo pondered for a moment and added, "The most important thing is to bring the rebels across the river. ”

Erlang said, "The minister thinks so too. Jiangshu's troops are still a little weak, and there are still important points upstream, especially quarrying, and they have to send more people to defend them. ”

Erlang was thinking carefully, but he heard Wei Mo say coldly, "Wang Qi's troops are indeed thin, it is better to send someone else to guard the Yangtze River." ”

Erlang thought about it - Wang Qi was originally a staff member he promoted when he was Danyang Yin. After the failure of the Northern Expedition, the water thieves on the river rose, so he allocated 3,000 men and horses to Wang Qi and ordered him to guard the quarry crossing and patrol along the river. He is the assassin of Yangzhou, and he should have been responsible for the defense of this section of the river except for the Jiankang waterway.

However, if he wants to work together with Vimo, he will inevitably make concessions in these matters, so Erlang only thought for a moment and said, "Brother said yes. I just don't know who to transfer? ”

Vimo said, "General Yunqi He Xuan, what do you think?" ”

Erlang nodded--He Xuanshu guarded Wanling, less than 100 miles away from quarrying, and only 200 miles away from Jiankang by water. It only takes three or five days to change to quarry.

Seeing that he had no objections, Vimo said, "Then immediately order Wang Qi to withdraw and come back." ”

Erlang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said, "Before He Xuan's garrison arrived, Wang Qi had already been withdrawn, wouldn't the quarrying be defenseless?" ”

Vimo said, "There were originally more than 1,000 garrisons in Quarshidu, but if you wait for three or five days, it won't be a big problem." ”

Erlang couldn't help but get annoyed, "What if Li Hu's rebels rush to cross the river in these three or five days?" ”

Wei Mo asked rhetorically, "What if Li Hu's internal response is in Wang Qi's army?" ”

At this moment, Erlang finally came back to his senses - it turned out that Vimo's change of guard was fake, and he suspected that he had Li Hu's internal should be a real reads;. He understood Vimo's suspicions almost immediately. If there is someone in Jiankang City who colludes with Li Hu inside and outside, then what does that person want? It is nothing more than glory and wealth. And what kind of glory and wealth cannot be sought from the Son of Heaven, but from the rebellion who does not know whether it can be done? Of course, there is only the world and the throne. In this regard, isn't he the person who is most likely to be compatible with Li Huli?

Erlang laughed angrily and said, "...... I see. ”

Vimo said, "Don't think about it - I don't doubt you, it's just that in terms of facts, Li Hu's internal should be the most likely in Jiangshu." Replace Jiang Shu as much as possible, which is also what Daddy means. ”

Erlang didn't say anything for a while, but said, "Brother understands that only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obeys the order." ”

Vimo said, "After all, you are young, and when you suddenly encounter such a major event, it is inevitable that you will not be able to take care of it. Since Daddy entrusted me with state affairs, he must have his own considerations. ”

Erlang said, "Yes." ”

Coming out of the Chengqian Palace, Erlang was not in a hurry to return home.

Something so big happened, the Son of Heaven didn't tell him a word except for "help your brother", and Vimo didn't shy away from doubting him, Erlang always felt that something was wrong.

The car was on the road, and when he walked out of Xuanyang Gate, he suddenly realized that it was because of Li Hu?

Erlang didn't know much about the previous generation, but he had heard some of it, and vaguely knew that his A-Niang and Li Hu seemed to be a little entangled.

He didn't take it to heart that day, but after thinking about it carefully, things became clear one by one.

There was a slight confusion in his mind.

He thought, could it be true, as the rumors said, that his aunt was Li Hu's wife and Ruyi was Li Hu's widow?

So...... What about him?

On this issue, he was only confused for a moment. He thought, of course, he was born to the Son of Heaven, there was no doubt about this, and the Son of Heaven must not doubt it.

It is not him who is not at ease, but Ruyi. As for Vimo, Jiro felt that it should be because he was too popular a while ago that made Vimo jealous, and Vimo wanted to take this opportunity to prove that he didn't have to be bad.

Ruyi turned out to be not his own sister?

Does Ruyi know about this?

If she knew...... Do you want to go back to your biological father?

Fear...... Erlang thought, I'm afraid Ruyi will really have illusions about Li Hu. Even if she may not be able to recognize each other, even if she knows that he is a thief and a scumbag, she can't help but want to see what kind of person her biological father is.

Erlang thought, sure enough, he still had to do his best to send Li Hu back to hell.

Before that-

Erlang summoned someone and ordered, "Let Princess Wuyang go back to the house immediately, just say that I am waiting for her in the princess's mansion, and there is an urgent matter to discuss." ”

He thought that before that, it would be better to lock Ruyi up first. lest she be cranky.
