Looking at the back of Yang Tong leaving, a trace of worry flashed on Xiao Wu's face, and then turned into a long sigh, in troubled times, especially if his emperor husband is still a Ming Jun, he can stay and spend a year of peaceful time with him, he is already very satisfied, I only hope that the next road of Da Sui will be smoother.

"Eldest sister, is the saint going on another expedition this time?"

Shui Tianji's eyes sparkled, she was used to living freely when she grew up, and staying in the palace every day almost made her sick. Looking back at Li Xiuning, he found that the other party's eyes also flashed with yearning.

"Perhaps! After all, the world has not yet been unified. Xiao Wu shook her head, they want to go out with their husbands, why shouldn't they?

"Eldest sister, if my husband goes on an expedition, can I go?" Li Xiuning looked at Xiao Wu expectantly.

"As long as my husband agrees, I won't object..."Xiao Wu saw Li Xiuning's phoenix eyes shining, and after a little hesitation, she asked directly: "But Fourth Sister, what if the enemy army is Li Tang?" How will you handle yourself? ”

"I, I don't know......" Li Xiuning's delicate body trembled, her lips were pale, and her eyes flashed with pain, Xiao Wu asked just two questions, as if two sharp daggers were stabbing into her heart, making her breathless.

"Fourth sister... I don't want to talk about the grievances between my husband and the Li family. But sooner or later, the battle between the Sui and Tang dynasties will happen, and the war will inevitably have casualties, and it is normal for your father and brother to die if they fail; On the contrary, if the Li family wins, they will not let go of their husband, and Zheng'er and Rong'er will not be able to escape; We sisters except you...... For the sake of Fang'er, Hui'er, and Wan'er, I'm afraid the four of us don't even have the qualifications to die. But I believe that the husband will win, and the Great Sui will win. So I think you should be brave and face it... And not running away. ”

"But since you have become the wife of the husband and the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, everything about Li Tang has nothing to do with you anymore. A woman marries her husband, this is your home and destination, in the future, you should focus on your husband and the Yang family, don't have other ideas, otherwise even if your husband pities you, I won't. ”

In the end, Xiao Wu has a faint sense of majesty, she is a woman, but she has followed Yang Tong for many years, and she has always been high, and her body is more or less contaminated with the breath of a superior, and at this moment, she also has a bit of momentum without anger and majesty, which is very different from usual.

"Don't worry, sister, I know." Li Xiuning knew that her husband would one day fight with her father and brother, but she didn't dare to think about it, but now when she heard Xiao Wu, the pain and hesitation in her heart can be imagined.

"The world often says that ruthlessness is the most emperor's family... This does not hold true in our family... But when it came to Li Tang's side, it was reasonable. ”

Xiao Wu felt that the long pain was better than the short pain, so he simply took the opportunity to say it: "Li Tang has strong enemies such as my Great Sui and Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Xiao Mill, etc., there are many internal factions, and the family is intricately intertwined, but your father is old and no longer has the energy to take charge of Li Tang's affairs, so he let the sons lead all forces on his behalf, and he only needs to manage his own son, so Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji are all his pawns to maintain the imperial power, in order to keep his throne, anyone can sacrifice... Speaking of which, you are the first pawn to be sacrificed by him. And all three of your brothers have ambitions for the throne and are equally powerful... If your father's energy can't keep up, or if he's gone, you can imagine what will happen next. If the three brothers fought on their own, they might not need their husbands to take action. ”

Although Xiao Wu does not participate in politics or politics, her status has reached this point, if she doesn't know about the world, I'm afraid she can't even deceive herself, and Yang Tong does not prohibit them from understanding the outside world, and from time to time she tells her about the world, so she has a good understanding of the power composition of the princes from all walks of life.

"You can teach our fawn in peace! She is your biological daughter and will definitely be filial to you. ”

"Thank you, eldest sister, for your explanation." Li Xiuning looked at the deer who had just woken up in his arms, his face showed a hint of relaxation, and his voice was much softer. Maybe she really let go of something, or maybe she accepted her fate.

In fact, what she can't worry about the most is her eldest brother Li Jiancheng, who grew up with her like a loving father.

。。。。。。。。。

The main hall of the Chaoyang Palace.

"See the Holy One!" Yang Gongren, Wei Yunqi, Yang Shanhui and others saw Yang Tong's arrival and saluted one after another.

"Flat! Have a seat! Yang Tong shook his head and motioned for everyone to take their seats.

"Thank you!" When Yang Tong took his seat, everyone took their places.

"If you come here one after another, nothing good will happen... Say, but the South has changed dramatically? Yang Tong looked at the civil and military ministers who were gathered together and made a joke.

"Not bad!" Yang Gongren nodded, and said unhurriedly: "According to the news from the Black Ice Terrace, Liu Heimin has frequently mobilized troops recently, and I am afraid that the battle between Dou Jiande and Liu Heimin is imminent." ”

"What are the details?" Yang Tong asked.

Qingzhou drought the year before last, almost no harvest, Liu Heimin and Li Mi reached a deal, launched an attack on Yin Mingyue, who escorted Lu Qinghua, and finally the three thousand elite cavalry were wiped out.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Heimin was unwilling to hand over military power, and the Qingzhou War broke out, and the war lasted until early September last year, but because the puppet Wei general Zhang Tongren was stationed in Donghai County, Dou Jiande, who was about to complete the battle, was forced to make peace with Liu Heimin, and the two armies boycotted.

"Since Li Mi completed the verification of his household registration, he once again focused on Jingzhou, and Dou Jiande, who has no worries, wants to completely unify the military and government of Qingzhou.

"With Liu Heimin's strength and character, it is impossible to fight Dou Jiande, who is stronger than himself, without foreign aid. Now they are actively seeking a decisive battle, why is this? Yang Tong asked.

Yang Gongren arched his hand and said: "The generals under Dou Jiande are not willing to lose power, and they all want to regain military power, six days ago, Wang Xiaohu, Fan Yuan, Dong Kangmai, and Zhang Junli raised troops against Dou Jiande. ”

"The result?" Yang Tong asked curiously.

"As a result, these four people successfully established themselves on the Lang Evil Foothold, and secretly formed an anti-Dou alliance with Liu Heimin."

"In this way, Dou Jiande only has the three counties of Beihai, Gaomi and Donglai, and Liu Heimin occupies the second county of Qilu."

"Exactly." Yang Gongren nodded, "The three parties are becoming more and more intense now, Liu Heimin has frequently mobilized troops and horses recently, I am afraid that he is ready to give it a go, but Dou Jiande is bent on exterminating Wang Xiaohu and others, and he doesn't seem to be aware of it." ”

"I don't know what they have to fight about." When Yang Tong heard this, he lost interest in Qingzhou in an instant, and said instead: "So, Jingzhou has changed?" ”

"Holy Wisdom!" Ling Jing patted Yang Tong lightly, and said with a smile: "Not only has it changed, but it is also very big. ”

"How big is it?" Yang Tong rubbed his head, in the past year or so, whether it is Li Yuan, Li Mi or Wang Shichong, it seems that they have consciously strengthened their counter-investigation, and many Black Ice Platform spies have been removed, and it is now difficult for Yang Tong to easily obtain their virtual reality as before.

All this is the consequence of Li Mi's revenge, the frenzied massacre of the Southern Family, and the theft of the Family's confidential letters. Although the harvest was huge, the price was one-half of the hidden stakes planted in various parts of the south, and the members closest to the core were even more inactive, making it difficult for Yang Tong to obtain the secrets of the princes in time.

"News came from Xiangyang that the 150,000 Tang army was assembled in Xiyang County in a way that was broken into pieces." Ling Jing said solemnly

"In this way, there will be something big happening in the Central Plains." Yang Tong glanced at everyone and asked, "Let's tell me what Li Yuan's intentions are?" ”

Li Jing, who was on the side, thought for a moment, and said: "Could it be that the pseudo-Tang Dynasty wants to attack Luoyang and encircle our Guanzhong?" ”

Everyone immediately began to talk, and there was a whisper in the hall.
