Since Huo Qi sent news that Xu Ge Lao had recently moved, Xu Han and Xiao Wei maintained this high level of tension.

Whether it was the manpower of the Zhenbei Palace, or the manpower given to Xiao Wei by the eldest princess of Shuyang in the past, they were all scattered.

However, waiting and waiting, I didn't wait for Xu Ge Lao's change, but waited for an invitation.

"Xu Ge sent a post over, saying that he invited the prince to Wangjiang Tower for dinner."

When Xu Han and Xiao Wei were playing chess, Bai Zhuo came in with a post.

The two glanced at each other, Xiao Wei threw the chess pieces in his hand into the jar, took the post, flipped through it, and said,

"Elder Xu Ge invited me to dinner?"

"Yes." Bai Zhuo said, "The subordinates have confirmed the identity of the other party, and they are indeed the stewards of the Xu family, Wei Ting is not at ease, so he secretly followed." ”

Wei Ting was originally Jin Wuwei's archer, but because he lost to Xu Han, he was willing to be an entourage, and when he came back from the frontier, Xu Han wanted him to continue to return to Jin Wuwei.

But Wei Ting was unwilling and remained by Xu Han's side.

After Xu Han and Xiao Yan got married, they served by Xiao Xiao and Xu Han's side together with Bai Zhuo.

Xiao Wei raised his eyebrows, this is unusual, Xu Ge Lao invited Xiao Wei to dinner, the Xu family did not have much contact with the eldest princess's mansion in the past, not to mention that now Xiao Wei has established the Han Wangfu by himself.

It can be said that because of all kinds of past, Xu Ge Lao and Xu Han are also enemies, and this will actually post to Xiao Wei, which is really confusing.

Xiao Wei took the post and read it several times, hooked the corners of his lips, stood up on his knees, and patted his robe,

"Then go ahead."

Seeing that Xu Han also stood up and put away the chessboard, Xiao Wei waved his hand and asked Bai Zhuo to go out first to prepare the carriage and horses.

"I'll go alone, let Bai Zhuo and them stay in the mansion, carefully watch every corner of the mansion, and let people go to the main courtyard to see if there is anything going on on my grandmother's side."

As if this was not enough, even Xu Jun of Zhenbei Wangfu, he also sent someone to tell him carefully, and then took Xu Han's hand and went back to the room to change clothes.

Xu Han didn't stop Xiao Xiao's series of instructions, and when the two were alone,

"Do you suspect there's something wrong inside?"

Xu Ge's husband invited Xiao Wei to a banquet, so naturally he couldn't do that kind of thing of ambush and secret attack.

Han Wangfu is newly established, they haven't moved in yet, even if the eldest princess of Shuyang has residual power, after all, she is old.

They're all out, and if something happens, are they still waiting for someone else's rescue? Even if rescue comes, it's too late.

Xiao Wei nodded, changed his clothes, put them on, pecked Xu Han's lips, and then sat beside her,

"Elder Xu Ge has not moved for a long time, aren't we all worried?"

"At present, we have eliminated a lot of his forces, and we have also made a lot of helpers, and Xu Ge Lao can still calm down now, which shows that this person is very scheming."

"Because of my conversion, the situation is becoming more and more complicated. Now I can only hope that Xu Ge will show his feet soon. ”

"According to what happened at the confession banquet that day, the emperor and Concubine Hui said that the crown prince ascended the throne properly, so we are not afraid that the prince will die after he ascends the throne, after all, he can be regarded as having the same heart as us."

"In this case, I always have to give something in return, and eradicating Xu Ge Lao is the best reward, and I always feel that Xu Ge Lao's identity is very unusual."

Xu Han thought about it and felt that what Xiao Xiao said made sense, so he personally led him to the horse, watched him go out, and then went to the courtyard of the eldest princess of Shuyang.

These days, as soon as Xiao Wei and Xu Han are at home, they will accompany her in the courtyard of Princess Shuyang.

The eldest princess of Shuyang treats Xiao Wei no different from the past, but everyone understands in their hearts that this ancestral fate will eventually come to an end.

Xiao Wei will not be surnamed Xiao forever, as long as he moves out of the princess's mansion, he will become Chai Ling, the descendant of Prince Fengxian.

The sadness of the eldest princess of Shuyang is easy for no one to capture, but for Xu Han, the well-behaved 'granddaughter-in-law', it is really more and more cherished and considerate.

Xu Han is also full of gratitude to the eldest princess of Shuyang, and treats her as well as possible.

The princess and the colt have poured their whole lives into Xiao Wei's body, so why should she not be good to the old man?

Hearing that Xu Ge invited Xiao Wei to dinner, the eldest princess of Shuyang was also thoughtful, and even called her subordinates Sun Zheng and Lu Ming in.

As each went its own way, the huge princess's mansion fell silent with the night.

It's just that some of the subordinates on duty have the sensitivity to find that the guards around the mansion seem to be stricter than before, and there are more people.

Wangjiang Tower is a famous restaurant in Beijing, I heard that there is a background of the emperor's relatives behind it, but the food inside is really exquisite, and even often launches new products to attract business.

The layout inside is also quiet and pleasant, and the layout is very charming, which can be described as a scene in ten steps, which makes people come once and have an endless aftertaste.

When Xiao Wei arrived, Xu Ge Lao was already sitting by the window.

"Lord Han is worthy of being the descendant of Prince Fengxian, upright and bright." Before Xiao Wei could speak, Xu Ge Lao spoke first and praised Xiao Wei,

"The old man still thinks about what kind of method the old man should use to persuade the prince to come to the banquet if he doesn't come."

Xiao Wei sat down opposite Xu Ge Lao and said with a smile,

"Why, Elder Ge really wants me to go to the banquet."

Xu Ge laughed, "That's nature." ”

He poured a pot of tea from Xiao Er and pushed it to Xiao Wei, and continued, "There are so many things in the capital, if there is no part of the prince's actions in it, the old man is the first to not believe it." ”

Xiao Wei picked up the teacup and didn't drink it, but just turned to look at Xu Ge Lao,

"With so many officials in the court, how can the elder of the cabinet think that it is related to this king?"

Xu Ge Lao Dao,

"If I'm not mistaken, you have joined forces with the prince of the East Palace, and the prince has been very protective of you several times, and even the words of the emperor and the prince came out of the palace not long ago."

"The prince is the widow of Prince Fengxian, although he was not named the grandson, but who knows that if the first emperor knew about your existence at that time, would he be the master of the current Dongyuan Dynasty?"

Xiao Wei looked at him and said with a smile,

"Ge Lao's words are quite heart-wrenching, when the king returned to the sect, he said it clearly, it was the first emperor who entrusted the king to the eldest daughter, so that she could raise the king with all her heart."

"But the elder said that the first emperor did not know about the existence of this king at that time, is there any doubt about the holy decree?"

Xiao Wei didn't show any mercy to Xu Ge Lao, and if something was wrong, he went back directly.

It is true that things are at this point, and he and Xu Ge Lao have nothing to do to continue to maintain their faces.

This meal was so strange, how could he take it lightly.

Since the defense is too tired, it is better to attack directly.

Elder Xu Ge was not angry at Xiao Wei's ruthlessness, but was as calm as before.

Because he hasn't been to court for a long time, he wears only a comfortable robe on weekdays, and his hair is only tied with an ebony hairpin on the top of his head.

It doesn't look like the majesty of the elder, but it has a little more Taoist fluttering.

"Ge Lao is looking down, it's definitely not that he wants to find someone to eat and drink, if you have anything to say, it's better to open the skylight and say it directly."

Xu Ge clapped his hands, "Okay, the prince is happy, then, according to what the prince said, the old man is not looking for someone to eat and drink, so why else?" ”

Xiao Wei pondered for a moment, leaned back on the chair behind him, the whole person became lazy, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.

He said lazily,

"Since the elder knows that the king and the crown prince have joined forces, then he should be busy reversing the tide and preventing the prince from further winning the hearts of the people."

"Today, the elder of the pavilion invites the king to dinner, most likely to transfer the tiger away from the mountain."

"Oh? How so? Xu Ge raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Wei with a leisurely attitude, as if an elder looked at the junior who was messing around and listened to him speak freely.

Xiao Wei glanced at Xu Ge Lao,

"Ordered people not to talk about Anwar, there are some things, this king knows, and the elder of the pavilion also knows, at that time, the matter of the eldest princess of Liyang broke out, exposing those monks of Funing Temple."

"Are those monks just the face of the eldest princess of Liyang? Not necessarily. ”

"If it's just a face, then what is the connection between the eldest princess of Liyang and the previous dynasty? There are still tombstones of the previous dynasty buried in the back mountain. ”

"I used to stay in Jinyiwei and knew some of Jinyiwei's investigation methods, so I knew who was among the people who contacted the eldest princess of Liyang."

"Now, the elder of the pavilion doesn't seem to be exposed, but in fact, he is already in danger, since you dare to call this king out today, if I guessed correctly, you want me to leave the mansion, and then do something invisible to people."

Xu Ge Lao raised his lips, "What you said is not enough weight at all, these alone are not enough, you are the descendant of Prince Fengxian, you have just returned to the sect, and Prince Fengxian's power in the court was very important, can't it be that I want to show loyalty in front of the prince?" ”

Xiao Wei played with the tea cup in his hand, slapped one hand lazily on the back of the chair, and looked at Xu Ge Lao through the tea cup sideways,

"At the age of the elder of the pavilion, when Prince Fengxian was there, even if he supported him, he was just a petty official at that time."

"Not to mention that Ge Lao is from a Qingliu background, and he is the top of a commoner family, and it is impossible for a person with such a background to support Prince Fengxian."

"So it's impossible to show loyalty."

On Xu Ge's old and leisurely face, there was finally a slight crack.

Xiao Xiao didn't stop, but raised his lips and smiled, "Elder Ge is asking me out of the mansion now, just to find out if there is any trick in the mansion to grasp, who doesn't have some secrets that can't be told to the outside world, it's just that Elder Ge is really underestimating my family by doing this." ”

"Hanhan is not an ordinary housewife, she can kill leopards that day, and she can also kill people today."

"It's just a pity, if Ge Lao really sends someone to go, I think I can't help it, and then Ge Lao will have to pay a lot of medical expenses."

Elder Xu Ge suddenly took a long breath, put his hands on his knees, and sat upright and straight.

"In this way, the prince really knows someone Xu very well."

"In the past, the old man admired the princess and the horse very much, and the regret of his life was that he failed to understand the style of the old horse, and now it seems that the art of war of the prince is very old-fashioned, and it should be inherited from the horse."

"The old man is also a literati, and he has turned a few pages of Sun Tzu's Art of War in his spare time, why don't we take a look today, today, will you win, or will I win?"

Xiao Wei was noncommittal, his legs folded, and the corners of his lips raised a touch of interest, "How does Elder Ge want to 'see'?" ”

Elder Xu Ge moved his body and looked at Xiao Wei with a determined face,

"The prince was able to speculate on the relationship between the old man and the previous dynasty through the tombstone of the former dynasty on the mountain behind Funing Temple, and the old man admired it very much."

In other words, this is clearly an admission that he has a relationship with the previous dynasty.

This was really unexpected by Xiao Ge, and it also made Xiao Ge understand more that today, Xu Ge set up a Hongmen banquet.

"The old man admires the prince's strategy, but the prince is too young after all, and you have undercalculated a lot of things."

Xiao Wei raised his eyebrows, "For example, ......"

"For example, the old man is also clear about how many people the prince and the little prince of Zhenbei, and even Her Royal Highness the eldest princess have."

"These people, all of them are very good, which ones are newly cultivated by the prince, and which ones have been with the prince for many years."

"And, the wife of the prince, the hands of the little prince of Zhenbei are Xu Jun's, how is his mind, and how is his kung fu."

"Besides, the manpower given by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, what is their experience."

"These manpower, the old man knows everything clearly, how dare he go on the beam without three, two, three?"

"In this case, if the old man had already ambushed people in the Zhenbei Palace, outside the Princess's Mansion, and entered the houses when you left the mansion today, how sure would you be that you would achieve your goal and retreat."

Xu Ge Lao paused, looking at Xiao Wei's unchanged lazy sitting posture, as well as the thin frost that had formed on his face at the right time, as if he had some cheerfulness,

"Of course, even if I am ambushed, I can retreat with my whole body, but I may not have no casualties, and no one is still precious."

"So, I'm not going to touch these places, but there's a ......"

Xu Ge Lao paused, Xiao Wei seemed lazy, but in fact, his heart was churning.

On the surface, it is not a secret how many people they have, but Xu Ge Lao can know the deployment of various provinces well.

This can't make him not dignified.

Xu Ge said that he would not move these places because the bones in these places were more difficult to gnaw, but there was one place.

Where else can it be, Xufu in Xuanpingfang.

Although his mother-in-law has the people who accompanied him to marry in King Xu's mansion, Guo Xun is also a capable person.

Fortunately, there is a secret that Xu Ge Lao doesn't know yet.

His hand holding the teacup paused without a trace, and then returned to the house to normal.

He wanted to enter the Xu Mansion just to spy on his mother-in-law's secrets, and even hijack his mother-in-law to blackmail him at a certain time.

Xiao Wei looked at Xu Ge Lao calmly, "Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, and Ge Lao is still skilled, but I don't know if Ge Lao knows, which family is this Wang's mother-in-law from?" ”

"So what?" Xu Ge's veteran spread his hands, "Shu Di Xu Wangfu, even if the Xu family wants to settle accounts with the old man in the future, it will be a matter for the future, and now, they are beyond the reach of the whip." ”

"This means that Elder Ge has already sent someone to the Xu family?"

Xu Ge was noncommittal.

Xiao Wei suddenly sat up straight and smiled,

"According to what Elder Ge said, I should rush back."

"If I don't leave, something happens to my mother-in-law at that time, and Neiko can't explain it, and, according to the old man's problem, maybe there will be some inexplicable charges in my house, right?"

Xu Ge put his hands on the table, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, but his eyes were deep and he couldn't see the bottom.

"Of course Elder Ge won't really do anything to this king's mother-in-law, you won't take this risk, especially now when we have the upper hand, in fact, your purpose is not to really transfer me out, but to wait for me to go home in a hurry, see me in a hurry, see me make a stupid move, and then you can deduct me for an inexplicable crime, right."

Xu Ge stood quietly opposite, like an old monk in his meditation.

Xiao Wei didn't speak again, but his eyes were fixed on Xu Ge Lao, without the slightest intention of relaxing.

Xu Ge said slowly after a long while,

"The prince's composure really amazed the old man."

"It's just that there is one thing that the old man doesn't understand, and I hope the prince can solve his doubts."

"In the past, the prince was a famous gentleman in Beijing, and his edge was not revealed, nor was it unusual, but in the past two years, the prince has continued to perform in the court, and his style and strength are unmatched among his peers."

"Now, as the descendant of Prince Fengxian, you can overthrow this existing dynasty as long as you raise your arms."

"But why, are you willing to join forces with the crown prince rather than sit on the throne yourself/

Xiao Wei raised his eyes, "Elder Ge is trying to persuade me to rebel?" ”

Xu Ge Lao shook his head, "No, the old man just doesn't understand, the prince has never been liked by the emperor, he has no connections and strength than you, as the old saying goes, people don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, as the descendants of Prince Fengxian, are you willing to condescend to others?" ”

"Don't tell me, you're just loyal to the Eastern Yuan Dynasty."

Xiao Wei replied to the question, "So does Elder Ge think that this Dongyuan is worthy of loyalty?" ”

Xu Ge Lao pursed his lips, and a thin anger rose from the bottom of his eyes.

Xiao Wei's words seemed to be light and fluttering, but in fact, they were as heavy as a jack.

Does Xu Ge dare to say that it's not worth it? That was contempt for the imperial court.

If he says it's worth it, it's tantamount to sticking his face over and slapping.

He has gone from a so-called commoner to today, step by step, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is strategizing, but now, he is being pinched by a gentleman he used to look down on.

This made Xu Ge very upset.

It's just that Xiao Wei was not interested in continuing to deal with Xu Ge Lao, he put the teacup he had been holding in his hand on the table, stood up, looked at him condescendingly, and said,

"A person like Xu Ge Lao, who only wants to be prosperous and wealthy and does not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, of course will ask words that you can't answer yourself."

"Don't think that others have no conscience because you don't have a conscience."

"The power you want is like eating for this king, almost enough."

"One person, only one home, one confidant, one bed, one pair of chopsticks, one bowl...... How can it be more? ”

"Being greedy is not good for your body and mind."

He was like a junior, gossiping with an elder, he took two steps, and then looked back,

"What you owe must be repaid, this world is a constant reincarnation, reincarnation, you say the previous dynasty, but the previous dynasty still has the previous dynasty."

"No one knows the future of this world, but if people do evil, sooner or later someone will come to you to settle accounts."

After speaking, he looked forward to leaving, propped his hands on the table, bent down slightly, his gaze turned into an ice blade, and shot into Xu Ge Lao's eyes,

"Of course, your hands on the Huo family's affairs, and even the families of those officials related to the Jiangnan fraud case, do you remember how many people died?"

"The blood of those people will surely drown you in it."

After saying that, he took out a silver ingot from his purse, slapped it on the table, and walked away without looking back.

The ingot of silver is not only Xiao Weihui's account, but also has been embedded in the Dao table, Xu Ge Lao pursed his lips and rolled his hand into a fist.

How many people did Huo Jiajun die in Lilgate? Lakh? Seventy thousand? There are also Jiangnan fraud cases, so many Qincha, so many people are displaced.

How did he rise to prominence and become the first assistant of the cabinet?

How did he and Huo Zheng call each other brothers back then?

When the Huo family was convicted, how did he make an impassioned statement in the court?

Xu Ge's old eyes stared at the ingot of silver, and his heart, which had never been afraid, suddenly had no bottom.

The silver reflected a cold light in the sunlight outside, like a sharp sword, shooting into his chest, making him shiver.

Xu Ge didn't believe that his qi was about to run out.

In order to restore the previous dynasty, how much effort did they use?

In the rebellion of the first emperor's dynasty, the princes were all dead, and that was their bottom of the kettle, and the princes were gone, so they could easily overthrow the Eastern Yuan Dynasty.

But no one thought that there was still Jinshang, and Jinshang sat in that seat, and it was only later that Xu Ge Lao knew that Jinshang's ascension to the throne had a great connection with the forces left over from the previous dynasty.

What can he say?

It's just that the method of robbing and killing Prince Fengxian at the beginning can be used once, and naturally it can be used a second time.

Or rather, that's their means.

In the robbery back then, the princes below the crown prince were just their shields.

It is said that the princes of the first emperor are so bad, but in his opinion, it is nothing more than that, just some small provocations, they killed each other, and none of them died.

Even the death of the eldest princess Shuyang's concubine was also pushed by him.

If they hadn't removed all the obstacles, how could the current emperor be on the throne?

He has been an emperor for so many years, and now, it is time to change the dynasty.

Now, the thing I regret the most is that I didn't kill all the people around Prince Fengxian and let them escape.

However, it doesn't matter, soon, he will let their mother and son go to meet Prince Fengxian.

Concubine Yu really thinks that she is sincerely cooperating with her?

No one can underestimate a woman's vicious heart.

Huo Qi is also an indisputable person, obviously after the previous dynasty, but he wants to do his best for the country of Dongyuan.

Have you forgotten that the rivers and mountains of the previous dynasty were destroyed by the Taizu of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty?

It's a pity that until now, they can't find out what the relationship between Huo Qi and that Xu Han is!

At first, he thought that Huo Qi liked the little prince, but looking at their relationship, they seemed to be elders and juniors.

This made Xu Ge puzzled.

Is it just because Xu Han is a little similar to Huo Shiniang back then, and he also did his best for the Eastern Yuan Dynasty?

"Lord, it's ready over there." A ghostly figure flashed in and reported to Elder Xu Ge in a low voice.

Elder Xu Ge got up, "Okay, ready, then let's go to the palace to meet that Ancient Master." ”

……

In the palace, the emperor has been feeling a little unwell recently, and Concubine Yu is waiting by his side with incomprehensible clothes, and sometimes the emperor's excerpts are also read by Concubine Yu according to the emperor's dictation.

As for Concubine Hui, after the five princes explained what Concubine Hui did, the emperor ordered Cui Hai to send a wine jug to Concubine Hui, the Shuanglong wine jug was quaint in color, and the wine in it was also aged in the palace.

"After Concubine Hui drank it, she went to the mansions to report the funeral, and said that Concubine Hui was infected with a vicious disease and died violently, and when the funeral was over, she chose a piece of clothing and sent it to the most remote place in the imperial mausoleum."

"Lose your body and burn it, throw the ashes to the barren mountains and mountains, and don't have to report to me anymore."

The emperor set up a mound for Concubine Hui, for the sake of the five princes, so that he would not be so embarrassed.

But in the same way, the emperor poked Concubine Hui to ashes, which was to hate Concubine Hui.

Even after her death, she did not let Concubine Hui enter the earth for peace, but was so ruthless, which made Cui Hai dare not say half a word, but only did what the emperor said.

When the emperor ordered all this, Concubine Yu was also present.

Within two days of disposing of Concubine Hui, the emperor fell ill, although it was the height of summer, but the wind and cold were menacing.

The emperor, who rarely fell ill, still let him stay sick in bed, even though it was just a wind chill.

Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread, fortunately, with the care of Concubine Yu's clothes, the emperor now only needs to take care of it.

"Your Majesty, the folds can never be approved, you are not tired, the hands of the concubines are tired." Concubine Yu said softly to the emperor.

All morning, Concubine Yu was helping the emperor review the excerpts.

When the emperor heard this, he looked at Concubine Yu apologetically, "It's all bad for me, I'm tired of you." ”

Concubine Yu smiled, "How can you be tired, the concubine is only these few days, Your Majesty used to be like this every day, how many years have you been tired." ”

"Your Majesty, why don't you read a notebook to you and get rid of your fatigue?"

When she first entered the palace, Yu Guifei was depressed, and it was the emperor's care every day, and she did all kinds of things before she warmed up Yu Guifei's heart.

Now, seeing that Concubine Yu was going to read a book to him, the emperor was naturally happy, "Okay." ”

Concubine Yu went to the bookshelf and took the notebook and read it to the emperor slowly.

Her voice was soft, and slowly, the emperor followed her voice and fell asleep.

When the emperor fell asleep, Concubine Yu closed the book lightly, moved the folds to Cui Hai, and came back to the incense burner, extinguished the incense burning inside, and carefully cleaned up the incense ashes in the incense burner, leaving no trace.
