Chapter 401: Heading to Fangzhou
The May day is sunny and kind, inadvertently through the thin clouds, turning into wisps of golden light, sprinkled all over the land.
There were few pedestrians on the official road to the south out of Luoyang City, and dozens of fast horses galloped on the official road, and the horses were running sweaty, and they couldn't stop snorting.
At the front of the ride was a handsome young man dressed in a white shirt. The man in the white shirt waved his whip upwards and reined in the horse, and the horse let out a breath of white air, let out a long neigh, and stopped steadily.
The knights behind the man in the white shirt were also very good at riding, and at the same time the horse stopped.
The man in the white shirt jumped off his horse and came to a soap-clad knight who was surrounded by him, and whispered something very respectfully.
The man in white shirt was none other than Xie Yunxuan, the thinker of Liang Wangfu, of course, no one would have thought that the soap-clothed knight who was listening to his report was the Great Zhou Liang Wang Wu Sansi.
Wu Sansi listened to Xie Yunxuan's words, turned his head and asked Lu Xiaoxian beside him, "Master Lu, or let's rest for a while before we leave?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian didn't answer, just looked into the distance.
The seedlings in the paddy fields have grown tall and green, and they look green from a distance, like a green ocean. As soon as the wind comes, it is like a wave of ups and downs, and the layers are all green waves, and the feeling of relaxation and joy makes people can't help but feel refreshed, quiet and happy!
Xie Yunxuan looked at Lu Xiaoxian, who was pretending, frowned, and his heart couldn't help but be on fire.
He could feel that Lu Xiaoxian had been deliberately making things difficult for himself these days, and he would oppose anything he was in favor of, but he insisted on insisting on what he was against. He didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup Lu Xiaoxian poured into Wu Sansi, Wu Sansi, who was obedient to Xie Yunxuan's words, always stood on Lu Xiaoxian's side when Xie Yunxuan and Lu Xiaoxian had a dispute, which made Xie Yunxuan very angry.
Lu Xiaoxian sensed Xie Yunxuan's hostility, he retracted his gaze, and said to Wu Sansi unhurriedly: "His Royal Highness King Liang, Your Majesty is looking forward to our return to the capital as soon as possible, or it is important to hurry, so let's not rest!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian was right, Wu Zetian sent Wu Sansi and Lu Xiaoxian to secretly go to Fangzhou to pick up Li Xian, the king of Luling, and return to Luoyang, and they did explain before leaving that they would go early and return early.
Hearing Lu Xiaoxian carry out His Majesty, Xie Yunxuan knew that things were going to be bad.
Sure enough, Wu Sansi nodded slightly: "What Gongzi Lu said is true!" ”
After that, Wu Sansi waved his hand at Xie Yunxuan and said, "Don't rest, keep going!" ”
As soon as he heard Wu Sansi's words, Xie Yunxuan's face suddenly couldn't hold back, he was thinking about Wu Sansi, so he proposed to rest. Lu Xiaoxian wanted to make a hindrance from it, and Wu Sansi actually listened to him.
In desperation, Xie Yunxuan had no choice but to make a promise, and was about to turn around and leave, but heard Lu Xiaoxian shouting at him: "Wait first!" ”
Xie Yunxuan didn't understand what Lu Xiaoxian meant, and stopped to look at Lu Xiaoxian.
Lu Xiaoxian lowered his voice and said to Wu Sansi: "Your Highness, I have a little matter I want to discuss with you, why don't we rest for a while?" ”
"Okay!" Wu San didn't think about it and waved his hand to Xie Yunxuan, "You go and arrange for everyone to rest for a while, this king has something to discuss with Gongzi Lu!" ”
Xie Yunxuan's nose was almost crooked, Lu Xiaoxian said that he would rest if he rested, and if he said that he would not rest, he would not rest, and he dared to play himself like a monkey?
Glaring at Lu Xiaoxian, Xie Yunxuan turned around and left in hatred.
The people who followed Wu Sansi to Fangzhou, except for a few relatives from the Liang Palace, the rest of the dozens of people were carefully selected Yulin sergeants, led by Chen Xuanli, who were specifically responsible for protecting the safety of Wu Sansi and Li Xian on the way. Because it was a secret operation, the sergeants of Yulin were all dressed in civilian clothes.
The defeat of the Khitan army was defeated, and a large number of people were unlucky, but Chen Xuanli was not greatly affected and continued to be the general of the Yulin Army from the fourth grade. Wu Zetian sent Chen Xuanli to escort him all the way, which shows that he still attaches great importance to Wu Sansi's trip.
Although they were not dressed in military uniforms, these Yulin soldiers were well-trained after all, and under the command of Chen Xuanli, some were responsible for guarding, some were feeding the horses, and some were taking turns to rest, and everything was in order.
Wu Sansi and Lu Xiaoxian walked to a meadow next to the official road, Lu Xiaoxian sat down without any image, Wu Sansi didn't pay attention to it so much, and also sat down cross-legged.
Many people think that Wu Sansi is dependent on nepotism, and he is a straw bag with no ability, but this is not the case. Not to mention anything else, he didn't put on the prince's shelf along the way, and he could share weal and woe with all the Yulin soldiers like Lu Xiaoxian, which alone was much better than many royal relatives. It can be seen from this that Wu Sansi is still very able to endure hardships.
In addition, Wu Sansi's self-knowledge and mentality of taking advantage of the trend also impressed Lu Xiaoxian.
After returning from the palace that day, Lu Xiaoxian went straight to Wu Sansi's mansion. I thought it would take a lot of effort to persuade Wu Sansi, but I didn't expect that it only took half an hour for Wu Sansi to recognize the reality and agree to go to Fangzhou to pick up Li Xian back to the capital, and promised to do everything possible to have a good relationship with Li Xian.
"Master Lu, I don't know what you and this king want to discuss, please speak up!" Wu Sansi asked politely.
Wu Sansi's respect for Lu Xiaoxian is from the heart, not only because Lu Xiaoxian is a member of the Zhang brothers, although he has a request from the Zhang brothers. In fact, Wu Sansi was impressed by Lu Xiaoxian's divine resourcefulness.
The Khitan rebellion, almost everyone thought that the imperial court could quickly put down the rebellion, and Wu Sansi was no exception. Because of this, Wu Sansi took the initiative to ask Ying to take charge of the consultation. Wu Zetian also hoped that the Wu clan would make war exploits with this, which would make her look better, so Wu Sansi became the best choice to conquer the commander of the army.
Just when Wu Sansi was complacent, Lu Xiaoxian took the initiative to persuade Wu Sansi to be the coach with the eyes that everyone was drunk and sober. Although Lu Xiaoxian's analysis of the inevitable defeat of the imperial court was true, Wu Sansi at that time was still a little skeptical, and finally agreed to resign as the head coach because of the face of the Zhang brothers.
Afterwards, as Lu Xiaoxian expected, the imperial court's conquest army was defeated, and Wu Sansi escaped. If he is really in charge, not to mention whether he can come back alive, even if he can come back, he will be drowned by the spitting stars of those court ministers.
This time, Lu Xiaoxian persuaded Wu Sansi to give up the fight for the crown prince and establish a good relationship with Li Dan to ensure that the power is still in hand in the future, and the glory and wealth will not be affected.
In the past, it would have been more difficult for Wu Sansi to give up his coveting of the prince than to ascend to the sky, but this time after listening to Lu Xiaoxian's detailed analysis, Wu Sansi silently accepted Lu Xiaoxian's suggestion.
Wu Sansi knew in his heart that the position of the crown prince was not won by fighting, but it depended on who His Majesty wanted to be the prince, which was the most important thing. Since His Majesty has decided to let Li Xian come to be the crown prince, it means that everyone, including him, has been out.
People want to live realistically, and if they can't be the prince, they have to retreat to the second best thing to keep their power and status. His Majesty asked Wu Sansi to greet Li Xian, obviously asking him to have a good relationship with Li Xian. Wu Sansi is not a rigid person, and of course he will not let go of such a good opportunity.
Lu Xiaoxian's two persuasions gave Wu Sansi a new understanding of Lu Xiaoxian, not only obeying him, but also respecting him unusually. If it weren't for the Zhang brothers, Wu Sansi would have wanted to snare Lu Xiaoxian under his name.
A few families rejoiced and feuded, Lu Xiaoxian's favor of course affected Xie Yunxuan, and anyone could see that Xie Yunxuan was increasingly snubbed by Wu Sansi.
Lu Xiaoxian said lightly: "Your Highness, are you holding a secret organization called Qiufeng Hall in your hands?" ”
Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Wu Sansi couldn't help but feel a huge shock in his heart.
Qiufengtang is indeed a killer organization secretly raised by Wu Sansi, most of them are people from the rivers and lakes, and there are some things that can't be put on the table, and Wu Sansi will arrange Qiufengtang to solve them secretly.
At first, Wu Sansi did not plan to establish Qiufeng Hall, but only took in some people from the rivers and lakes as guests in the mansion. As more and more people in the rivers and lakes defected to Wu Sansi, it was not a long-term solution for these people to be raised in the mansion, so he took the opportunity to establish Qiufeng Hall.
It has been less than a year since the establishment of Qiufeng Hall, there is a secret stronghold, and few people know about it, except for Wu Sansi, even Xie Yunxuan is ruthless, how does Lu Xiaoxian know, which makes Wu Sansi feel very puzzled,
Lu Xiaoxian deliberately tested Wu Sansi, and when he saw that Wu Sansi was silent, he understood most of it in his heart. He said to Wu Sansi with a solemn face: "Your Highness, we are people in the same boat on this trip, we must work with one heart and one mind, and the stakes are very high, please Your Highness must be honest with each other." ”
Wu San thought about it for a moment, then stopped hiding it and told Lu Xiaoxian the truth about the situation in Qiufeng Hall.
Lu Xiaoxian listened and couldn't help but look sideways.
Compared with Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi's mind is much more thoughtful, and there is such a force hidden in his hands that cannot be underestimated.
"Your Highness, now is the time to use the power of the Autumn Wind Hall!"
"Why?" Wu San was puzzled.
"Your Highness, think about it, since someone wants King Luling to return to Luoyang, there must be someone who doesn't want him to come back! What if someone wants to secretly attack King Luling? Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Wu Sansi meaningfully, "Therefore, the top priority is to protect the safety of King Luling, and there can be no mistakes!" ”
Hearing Lu Xiaoxian say this, Wu Sansi was shocked again: if Li Xianzhen had an accident, Wu Zetian and Wu Sansi's plan would be in vain. Besides, His Majesty sent himself to take Li Xian back to Beijing, and if something happened to Li Xian, he couldn't tell it himself.
However, Wu Sansi still asked with some doubts: "We left Luoyang secretly, and no one knows the purpose of our trip, how can anyone secretly attack King Luling?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian shook his head: "There is no impermeable wall in the world, let's come out with these dozens of people, who can guarantee that everyone can keep their mouths shut?" I'm just reminding Your Highness, just in case, it will depend on Your Highness's decision in the end! ”
No, such a thing must not be allowed to happen, and Li Xian's safety must be absolutely guaranteed.
Soon, Wu Sansi made a decision: send someone to return to Luoyang quickly, and secretly ordered all Qiufeng Tang to go to Fangzhou to secretly protect Li Xian's safety throughout the whole process.
