Sister Yuru said: "It's me who is too worried." ”

Dou Dan said with a smile: "As the saying goes, if you care, you are chaotic, the emperor is seriously ill, you have not rested well, you don't have to worry about it these days." ”

The room was quiet for a while, and Zi Min whispered in my ear: "Commander Dou doesn't seem to have malicious intentions, the eldest brother has an edict in hand, why don't you go in directly?" ”

Mrs. Wan and I have the intention to hide it from her, she naturally doesn't know what is really written on the edict, if she really comes to Dou Dan with the edict, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to distinguish it, and I will meet each other. But listening to Dou Dan's words, he really didn't mean to be my enemy, thought about it, came to the door with a short body, and wanted to knock on the door with his hand.

As soon as he raised his hand, he heard Dou Dan say again: "Yuru, have you ever heard of the rumors recently?" ”

Sister Yuru said: "About what?" ”

Dou Dan said: "About Your Majesty...... His Majesty's accession to the throne in Luoyang earlier was originally facilitated by the crown prince, but his delay in returning to Chang'an, coupled with the recent rumors, is not unreasonable to speculate. ”

Sister Yuru said: "Whether Xuanba is pretending to be someone or not, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and I can't make a conclusion, but I also went to Luoyang in person at the beginning, if it is true or not, with Jiancheng's acumen, I must have noticed it a long time ago, I think there must be a lot of twists and turns." ”

After the words fell, there was silence in the room again.

After a while, I only heard a "squeak", and before I could knock on the door, the door was suddenly opened, and Dou Dan was about to come out of it.

Seeing this, I took Zimin's hand, and held the soft sword at my waist with the other hand, and Dou Dan was startled, my sword was already on his shoulder.

When he saw this, he wanted to fight back, and I said, "Commander Dou, please come in and talk about it." ”

Sister Yuru ran over when she heard this, and was about to ask what was wrong, but when she saw me and Zimin stopping Dou Dan in front of the door, she frowned and said, "Don't hurt him!" ”

While speaking, Dou Dan had already retreated into the room, and Zi Min fumbled to close the door.

Dou Dan said coldly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what does this mean?" ”

I said, "When I came here late at night, I have something to ask for, so please sit down and talk about it." As he spoke, he put away his sword.

Dou Dan retreated to Sister Yuru's side, and Sister Yuru said, "Completed, you have returned to Chang'an?" ”

I nodded, sat down with Zimin, and said, "I have already met Mrs. Wan just now." ”

Dou Dan asked, "Wan ...... What did the concubine say? ”

I shook my head and said, "No." ”

Dou Dan was stunned for a moment and said: "When the emperor was dying, there was an edict left for the concubine, what did the edict say?" ”

I thought about it, took out two edicts from my bosom, and handed them to Sister Yuru.

Sister Yuru took it and looked at it carefully, but after reading it, she didn't seem to believe it, and read it carefully, her hand holding the edict trembled a little, and she only whispered: "This ...... Why is that? ”

I shook my head and said nothing, and after Dou Dan looked closely, he seemed to have understood most of it, and said: "The noble concubine Niangniang actually handed over these two edicts to His Royal Highness the Prince, and it seems that she does not plan to act on the edict." ”

I said, "If the concubine really acts like this, will Dou Tongtong kill me?" ”

Sister Yuru looked at Dou Dan when she heard this, and grabbed his arm.

Dou Dan turned his head to look at Sister Yuru, and somehow smiled lightly, before turning back to me and saying, "Since Your Highness has told the truth about these two edicts, it seems that you are convinced of Yuru?" Your sister and brother have a deep affection, and I will not disobey Yuru's intentions, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will visit late at night, and he must have orders, please tell me. ”

I heard the words and looked at Sister Yuru, she listened to Dou Dan's words, and she was not as nervous as before, she only looked at Dou Dan and smiled: "Thank you." ”

Dou Dan held Sister Yuru's hand and said, "Why say thank you? I know. He looked at me again.

I never thought that this matter would go so smoothly, and I still had a trace of doubt in my heart, and after thinking about it, I said: "I have been away from Beijing for a long time, and I don't know much about the situation in Beijing, so I want to ask you, how many troops can be dispatched during my father's lifetime?" In Chang'an City, how is the armament? ”

Dou Dan said with a smile: "It's not a secret, the emperor is old, although Yu Wei is here, after all, he can't win people's hearts, because Chang'an and Luoyang are one, so many people went to Luoyang under the pretext." I am ...... because he said this, and Yuru sister glanced at each other, before continuing, "I stayed in Chang'an as the commander of the forbidden army, the forbidden army was originally a total of 50,000 people, patrolling all over the palace, etc., less than 5,000, the rest of the people, 20,000 were guarded outside the Xuanwu Gate, and the rest of the people were assigned everywhere, in order to prevent the harassment of Tuguhun, there were 20,000 people in the northwest, led by Wen Zhen, the son of Wen Yanbo, the imperial historian, and the emperor's personal follower Xu Shixu, but the previous year was somehow demoted out of the palace and transferred to Wen Zhen's tent to listen to it. ”

I thought about it, Xu Shixu has always been favored by his father, and there must be a reason why he was degraded, Wen Zhen is indeed his father's person, he mentioned Wen Zhen, I couldn't help but think of Dou Xiaochen, and asked: "I know that Wen Zhen and Linglang Dou Xiaochen have always had a good relationship, I don't know what he is doing?" ”

When Dou Dan heard this, he smiled lightly and said: "Chen Er is very inferior to Wen Zhenlai, he is now just a small Huangmen squire, and he has no role in Chang'an, he is an idle errand." ”

I thought of the way I saw Dou Xiaochen and Wen Zhen in the past, and knew that Dou Xiaochen's family education was very strict, and he was probably not leading the errand because he was incompetent, but because it was like this in their family, knowing that there would be some turmoil in Chang'an after his father's death, so he didn't want to get involved in the dispute between right and wrong, so he stayed away.

But now I came to the door, Dou Dan just didn't want to take care of it, because of Sister Yuru's face, I'm afraid I have to take care of it, my father asked him to be the commander of the forbidden army, didn't he just hope to help him at a critical moment? But now it seems that he feels so sorry for his wife, and he acts according to his sister's will in everything, completely disappointing his father's hard work.

I was thinking about it, but I couldn't help but see that Sister Yuru had already lifted the two edicts I had brought to the candlelight, and they burned to ashes in a moment.

Seeing that I was surprised, Sister Yuru smiled bitterly: "It's useless to keep it, it's better to burn it." ”

I think Mrs. Wan said the same thing before, so she didn't stop it.

Dou Dan said again: "The matter has come to this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can only ascend the throne as soon as possible, I can guarantee that the forbidden army will never make trouble at that time, as for the 20,000 people under Wen Zhen, they will have to be guarded against when the time comes, how to deal with it, please make it clear to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Dou Dan's words pulled my thoughts back, I didn't think much about it, and blurted out: "You just said that Xu Shixu listened to it in his tent?" ”

Dou Dan nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

I said, "In that case, I would like to borrow two things from you." ”

Dou Dan said: "Your Highness, please speak." ”

I said, "First, it's the wooden hairpin I gave to Sister Yuru when I came to your house. ”

Dou Dan was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "When has His Highness been to the mansion?" ”
