Chapter 417: What Secrets Are There in the Imperial Court?
Li You said with a smile: "Mr. Sun Simiao usually lives in my house, but now that he is in Zhengzhou, I can ask him to come to treat Lingtang." ”
"Really? That's great. Fang Xiaoyu said excitedly.
Li You said: "It's just that Mr. Sun can't come to Luoyang for the time being, but if your mother can bear the fatigue of traveling, you can send him to Zhengzhou." ”
"Well, although my mother is not in good health, she can still take a boat over." Fang Xiaoyu said excitedly.
Li You asked, "Okay, I'll send someone to send her over tomorrow." ”
Fang Xiaoyu said: "The slave family is not good at drinking, but today the slave family wants to have a few drinks with His Highness, is it okay?" ”
Li You smiled: "It's an honor." ”
The old bustard Wang Siniang heard that Fang Xiaoyu asked someone to send a jar of daughter red, and praised: "Xiaoyu is drinking in the show room, this is the first time. It seems that His Royal Highness King Qi still has a big face. ”
In the show room, Li You said: "Little Fish Lady, have you experienced war? ”
Fang Xiaoyu's face turned gloomy, and she said, "The slave family experienced it when I was a child, and that scene was really miserable. I hope that Datang will never have another war. ”
Li You said: "Luoyang City is prosperous, but once it encounters war, everything will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and tens of millions of people will die on the streets and be displaced. ”
Fang Xiaoyu was extremely smart, she heard Li You's words and asked, "Your Highness, have you heard anything about it?" ”
Li You looked into her eyes and said solemnly, "Xiaoyu, can I trust you?" ”
Fang Xiaoyu said solemnly. "Your Highness, please give me orders, as long as the slave family is within their ability, they will never refuse." ”
Li You said in a low voice; "Now there is a major matter related to the safety of the community and the life and death of the people, and I need your help......
Since the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce in Great Wall, it has brought great benefits to the business community in Chang'an. The merchants of Luoyang also followed the example of Chang'an and established a chamber of commerce.
The name of Chang'an City Magpie Trading Company is extremely loud, and there are also a lot of business contacts with the business community in Luoyang.
Chang'an, the study room of the Liangyi Palace.
The eldest grandson Wuji said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the eldest grandson Shunde did not come to Chang'an, he sent someone to hand over the recital, saying that he was unwell. I can't come to Chang'an for the time being. ”
Li Shimin knew that someone had leaked secrets again, and he said dissatisfiedly: "What else can be kept secret in the court?" Do I have anyone else I can trust? He wouldn't know that the real leaker was himself, the Lee Tae he reminded.
The eldest grandson Wuji was taken aback, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and swore an oath: "Your Majesty, the notice drafted by the minister himself, it is impossible to walk from the minister. ”
Li Shimin still trusts the eldest grandson Wuji, he said: "You get up, I still believe in you." It's just that this matter has leaked out, and the eldest grandson Shunde has begun to guard against the imperial court, so this matter is very troublesome. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty, why don't you let the minister go to Luoyang and persuade the eldest grandson Shunde to come to Chang'an." ”
Li Shimin said: "It's useless, if he doesn't want to rebel, he will come to Chang'an by himself." If he has that evil thought, and you go, it will do nothing but add one more hostage. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Since you are worried about this, it is better to prepare as early as possible,"
Li Shimin said: "Before we get the definitive evidence of the rebellion of the eldest grandson Shunde, we cannot dispatch troops for the time being. so as not to make the city full of wind and rain, and the people will be panicked. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "I heard that His Royal Highness King Qi is in Luoyang right now. ”
Li Shimin said: "Now I can only rely on Li You, I hope he can send me the exact news of Luoyang City in advance." ”
The eldest grandson Shunde has a high prestige in the army, and he has indeed embezzled a lot of money over the years. However, he did not enjoy it alone, and he still cared very much about his old subordinates in the army.
He told his cronies about the current situation, and the generals also knew that they and his eldest grandson Shunde were both prosperous and loss-making. The eldest grandson Shunde is unlucky, even if they don't follow the rebellion, they will no longer be trusted by the imperial court, and they must be on the blacklist eradicated by the imperial court.
Therefore, the main generals in the Luoyang army all expressed their obedience to the eldest grandson Shunde.
There are exceptions.
Han Qing, the governor of Luozhou Zhichong Prefecture under the jurisdiction of the Luoyang Governor's Office, was transferred from Ganzhou last year, although the eldest grandson Shunde was also very attentive to him, but he was recommended by Zhang Liang, a squire of the military department, and he was unwilling to rebel with the eldest grandson Shunde.
The eldest grandson Shunde personally talked to Han Qing, and Han Qing said that he did not participate in the actions of the eldest grandson Shunde, and he submitted his resignation, saying that he would resign and return to his hometown.
The eldest grandson Shunde was worried that he would leak the news, and he would let him leave Luoyang. So they sent him into custody and prepared to sacrifice him to the flag on the day of the uprising.
The eldest grandson, Shunde and others, have already begun to arrange in full swing.
There is no impermeable wall, and Li You has got some news one after another. In particular, Fang Xiaoyu brought accurate news to Li You.
Liu Mingde was one of the three most important generals under the eldest grandson Shunde, commanding 8,000 cavalry. Although he does not approve of the rebellion of the eldest grandson Shunde, he is extremely affectionate. The eldest grandson Shunde once saved his life, so he still sacrificed his life to accompany the gentleman to repay the eldest grandson Shunde for saving his life.
On this day, Liu Mingde was depressed, so he came to Xunfang Pavilion to chat with Fang Xiaoyu to relieve his boredom. In Luoyang City, Liu Mingde is one of Fang Xiaoyu's relatively favorite guests.
Seeing that Liu Mingde was in a bad mood, Fang Xiaoyu specially asked for a jar of daughter red to accompany him to drink and chat.
Liu Mingde was bored in his heart and drank vigorously. Fang Xiaoyu didn't persuade him, but said: "General, since you like to drink, the slave family will accompany the general to have a good drink." ”
Liu Mingde drank a little too much and talked more, Fang Xiaoyu listened to his words patiently, and from time to time he smiled and nodded in agreement.
Liu Mingde has always admired Fang Xiaoyu, but he never dared to blaspheme her. At this time, he drank and became bolder. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Fang Xiaoyu's Qianqianyu hand. Fang Xiaoyu didn't pull his hand from his big rough hand, so as not to hurt his self-esteem.
Seeing Fang Xiaoyu's performance, Liu Mingde's heart to protect the flowers suddenly came to life, and he said: "Xiaoyu lady, you leave Luoyang, the farther you go, the better." ”
Fang Xiaoyu asked with a little surprise: "May I ask the general, why did you persuade Xiaoyu to leave Luoyang?" ”
After all, Liu Mingde is a senior general in the army, and he still maintains due vigilance. He said: "Luoyang may not be peaceful recently, in order to avoid you being harmed, please leave Luoyang temporarily." No matter where you go. I'll send someone to escort you. ”
In order to avoid him being suspicious, Fang Xiaoyu also diverted the topic and continued to drink with him. However, Fang Xiaoyu had already received important information. There is something big happening in Luoyang City, as Liu Mingde's general, what will happen? It's basically clear.
Soon after, Shuangxiaoyu came to the inn in person to inform Li You of the situation.
Wu Jue finally saw Fang Xiaoyu. She has always been conceited and beautiful, but when she saw Fang Xiaoyu, she couldn't help but be attracted by Fang Xiaoyu's beauty and mature charm.
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "This is the fourth princess, you are really good-looking." ”8)
