Li Wenyuan was asked by Empress Xiao about his name at this time, and when he stood in place and bowed down and said, "Yes, Queen Mother, I am Li Wenyuan." ”

"Come in and talk to the main palace." From behind the tulle came the voice of Empress Xiao.

"Returning to the queen's mother, Weichen has set up a special banquet for Niangniang in Wuwei County, although it is not as delicate as the Niangniang in the palace, but in general, it can still be used for the Niangniang to catch the wind and wash the dust. It's better for us to go there than to suffer from the sun here. After Li Wenyuan heard Empress Xiao's words, he peeked at several night owls hiding in the crowd behind him with a wry smile, and then said to Empress Xiao.

"But this palace wants to talk to you here, what? Could it be that after His Majesty's death, you can stop listening to what this palace says? From behind the tulle came Empress Xiao's somewhat angry voice.

Hearing his words, Empress Xiao was a little angry, and Li Wenyuan didn't dare to refuse, so he could only spread his hands at a few night owls hiding in the crowd behind him, indicating that he was indeed helpless.

Empress Xiao looked at Li Wenyuan in front of her, and her heart was also mixed. At first, both she and Yang Guang thought that Li Wenyuan's every move was under their close surveillance. But it wasn't until a few days ago, when Yu Wenhua launched a palace change in Jiangdu, that she knew that the person in front of her had already placed the eyeliner of surveillance on her and Yang Guang's side. You must know that since he went to Jiangdu with Yang Guangnan, he has not changed the people around him for a long time. It shows that these eyeliners have been by his side long before he set off from Luoyang. And many of them are their hand-picked henchmen. If you extrapolate like this, you can probably know how long the person in front of you has been sticking eyeliner to you.

In the interior of the Central Plains, his two imperial grandsons were respectively held by Wang Shichong and Li Yuan, and both were made puppet emperors. These two people respected Yang Guang as the emperor and respected themselves as the empress dowager. However, the impression of these two people in the eyes of Empress Xiao is not very good, in the eyes of Empress Xiao, Li Yuan is just a representative of the new gate valve who can set off storms in the Guanzhong region with the help of the power of the Guanlong nobles, and even if he opens up a national industry in the future, he will probably be subject to the elbow of the Guanlong nobles; And the other Wang Shichong is just a nouveau riche who has gone through some luck, and it is difficult for this person to achieve great things if the city government is not deep. And the Li Wenyuan in front of him is a person that his husband attaches great importance to during his lifetime, and he is also a loyal minister that his husband has been thinking about until he dies.

Loyal minister, Empress Xiao smiled bitterly in her heart when she thought of this. The world is in turmoil, the people's minds have changed, how can there be loyal ministers of the Great Sui in this world? The person in front of him rescued or ransomed himself from Jiangdu County, and what he did was only because he and the emperor and grandson around him had a lot of political value. If it weren't for the face of her redeeming her husband along with her husband's remains, she wouldn't have even looked at him with a straight eye. But listening to the things talked about by the people around her along the way made Empress Xiao determined to put all the bets on her side on Li Wenyuan, so in the previous conversation with Li Wenyuan, Empress Xiao used the words of the palace, rather than the mourning family dedicated to the empress dowager, to show that she did not agree with Li Yuan and Wang Shichong's puppet emperor.

It wasn't until Empress Xiao saw that Li Wenyuan entered the phoenix driver, so she preemptively said to Li Wenyuan: "This palace has heard that Li Wenyuan, the governor of the Western Regions, has carried out various reforms in the Western Regions, and I heard that the first thing you have abolished is to bow down, and Your Majesty also agreed with your approach very much during his lifetime. ”

After listening to Empress Xiao's words, Li Wenyuan bowed to Empress Xiao: "Regarding what happened to Your Majesty in Jiangdu County, Weichen feels very regretful and extremely sad. But helplessly, Jiangdu County is not as good as Yanmen County, and this incident has already happened before Weichen has time to save the car. Please also ask the queen to mourn, and Wechen is here to assure you that one day the head of a traitor must be used to commemorate His Majesty's spirit in the sky. ”

After listening to Li Wenyuan's words, Empress Xiao nodded, and then waved her hand to disperse the people in the parlor of Feng Jiazhong. Speaking of which, this is still a building car specially made for Empress Xiao by Yang Guang before his death, and its size is not much different from the building car used by Yang Guang himself for inspection. It can also accommodate nearly 100 people living at the same time.

"If you can have this heart, I think Your Majesty's spirit in heaven will also be able to rest in peace. Now there are only you and me in this room, so let's open the skylight and talk about it. Your Majesty's heirs were relatively thin during his lifetime, and the only ones who exist in the world are the emperors and grandsons around me and the two emperors and grandsons who are in the hands of the other two traitors. So, now to put it bluntly, the form has been turned over, and it's the turn of us royals to choose to take sides. Since you rescued our ancestors and grandchildren from Yu Wenhua's hands and saved our lives, then in this time, our ancestors and grandchildren will also choose to be in charge of your side. I just don't know what kind of convenience you want us to provide you, sir? Although the royal family has declined now, after all, there is still a certain influence in the Central Plains, and before the emergence of the new dynasty, we are the only orthodox dynasty. ”

"It turns out that the queen is also a pragmatist, so if I say something else, it seems that I am a little pretentious. In fact, the act of saving you at first was indeed what Wei Chen wanted to do when he was a minister, but the times are different. And now that the queen is willing to take the initiative to make concessions in this regard, then Weichen is not polite. Let's tell you the truth, I want to emulate the Duke of Cao back then, and I will be satisfied if you can reward me with the title of King of Tang. Although Li Wenyuan still maintained a posture of bending over and giving salutes during the holiday, the words that floated out of his mouth showed the huge ambition in his heart.

"This matter, this palace can promise you on behalf of the emperor. But what benefits can we royal families gain from doing this? Shouldn't the manager also show the corresponding sincerity to talk to me openly and honestly? After all, if this move comes at once, our royal family will give up the entire throne. After Empress Xiao heard Li Wenyuan's words, she was not surprised in the slightest, but nodded and continued to ask Li Wenyuan.

Seeing that Empress Xiao did not resist his proposal, Li Wenyuan was a little more confident in negotiating this matter, so he had a fierce and harmonious discussion with Empress Xiao on the next cooperation issue.
