Wen Daya said: "Your Majesty is clear, and Weichen is a sincere heart......"

I interrupted him and said, "You don't have to do this errand of the Ministry of Rites, go back to the house and think about it, I don't want someone to spoil my world!" ”

Wen Daya looked at me as if she was looking at a stranger, and after a while, she slowly retreated.

Then I visited another person, Xu Shixu, who was now deprived of military power by Li Shimin on the grounds of old age.

Since my father's death, he has helped me quell the rebellion that Wen Zhen has not yet provoked, and Li Shimin has allowed him to live after entering the Daxing Palace, which is probably magnanimous enough in his opinion.

Xu Shixu's house is in the east of the city, and his father rewarded him a lot during his lifetime, so the house is very large, but there are very few people serving in the house.

When I came out of the palace, I didn't bring anyone, and I changed into civilian clothes, until I knocked on the door of the house, and it was an old man who was older than Xu Shixu who opened the door, staring at me for a long time, as if I didn't see who was visiting my master.

I recognized this person as Xu Shixu's housekeeper, Xu Shixu missed the old, although he couldn't take care of the affairs of the house now, he still let him run errands in the house, and the housekeeper didn't want to leave, so he stayed.

Seeing that he was still looking up and down, I arched my hand and smiled: "Steward Jiang, I want to meet the master of the mansion, please pass on a message." As he spoke, he took out a name tag from his sleeve and handed it to him.

Steward Jiang took it, and didn't open it to see, only returned the name card to me, and said with a smile: "In our house, few people come now, the master said, dare to come to visit, must be brave and knowing, the master is easy to make friends, just go in directly, there is no need to talk about these false courtesies." This gentleman, please come inside. ”

He turned around and walked in, and I followed him, step by step, remembering that when my father was in power, the people who came to visit almost broke the threshold, and now the courtyard in front of me was overgrown with weeds.

The butler walked for a while, and when he looked back, he found that I was far behind, and he himself was not walking fast, and he was surprised to find someone who was walking slower than himself, and turned back to me and smiled, "What is the gentleman looking at?" Heh, there's nothing to see here. ”

I turned to look at the door, sighed softly, and said, "When I saw the situation in the lower house, I felt something for a while, so I stopped." Now I really can't imagine that no matter how many people in this house were crowded back then, they couldn't get in, and now no one cares. ”

Steward Jiang smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing, in the words of our master, but it's enough to keep your body and not cause your head to be different." ”

I nodded and motioned for him to continue leading the way.

In the backyard, there is a cave, at first glance, it seems to be a farmland, a person dressed as a farmer is standing on the ridge of the field leaning over to look at the field, should have heard the footsteps behind him, but did not look back, only said: "Steward Jiang, take the guests to the front hall to sit for a while, I will come later." ”

I stood behind Steward Jiang and smiled softly, "General Xu is so interested!" ”

When Xu Shixu heard this, he suddenly stood up and looked back at me, looked up and down for a while, and said calmly: "I don't know if Your Majesty is here in person, I don't know if I miss the distance, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Steward Jiang on the side heard this, and was much busier than Xu Shixu, and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

I said, "It's early spring, General Xu is preparing for farming, it seems that I have come at the wrong time today. ”

Xu Shixu arched his hand and said: "Weichen has nothing to do, just find something to do." ”

I said, "Oh? Since General Xu can't be idle, I do have something for you to do, but I don't know if General Xu is willing? ”

Xu Shixu said: "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

I took out the seal letter of the mobilization of the forbidden army from my bosom and said: "A few days ago, Xiao Yu, who temporarily took over the post of commander of the forbidden army, died of a serious illness, and the forbidden army has no owner. ”

Xu Shixu glanced at me suspiciously, and arched his hand: "There are 30,000 forbidden troops in the capital, can Your Majesty trust Weichen?" ”

I said: "Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people." General Xu, what if...... The matter of arming inside and outside Chang'an City, I will entrust it to the general today. ”

Xu Shixu took the seal letter, obviously still having doubts in his heart, and asked: "Chen Doudu, may I ask Your Majesty why this is?" ”

I laughed and said, "What? Does the general have an opinion about my arrangement? There is a secret edict here, I have sent someone to summon the king of Qi into Beijing, and on the day he enters Beijing, please ask the general to act accordingly, please. As I spoke, I bowed to him again.

This move made Xu Shixu a little flattered, he no longer asked what was going on, just looked at me, took the edict, and responded again and again.

Back in the palace, I went to Anren Hall to greet Mrs. Wan, she saw me coming, and said: "Sanniang came to me, she said that she didn't understand why His Majesty's repeated arrangements in the past month, Xiao Yu's funeral, Your Majesty did not go to mourn, there are rudeness." ”

I frowned in disgust and said, "Back then, he rebelled in Jinyang and almost killed Yuan Ji, and the family members of the Qi Wangfu also suffered a lot of casualties, if I don't go to him for trouble, he should be thankful, and want to ask for anything else?" ”

Mrs. Wan said: "It's just that in this way, I'm afraid it will make the ministers of the DPRK and China feel cold." ”

I said: "Speaking of this, it's better this way, Xiao Yu is in the mansion, if Yuanji can come, give him this opportunity." Mrs. Wan, in fact, I came to see Madame today to bid farewell to Madame. ”

Mrs. Wan's hand shook slightly, and said, "You're going to leave so soon?" ”

I said: "The forbidden army in the city, I have entrusted it to Xu Shixu, the garrison outside the city, the military power is in the hands of Dou Dan, and Wei Ting is now the secretary of the military department, as for the affairs in the palace, there is Mrs. Wan you are in charge, when Yuanji returned to Beijing, Xu Shao held the edict of the emperor, everything inside and outside Chang'an City has been decided, most of the counties in the world have been declared to be attached, and in the future, there will be Wei Zheng, Wei Ting and others in the court, I have nothing to worry about. ”

Mrs. Wan said: "It's just that you left suddenly, and I'm afraid that the people in the court will be unstable......

I waved my hand and said: "Xiao Yu is dead, Wen Daya has been degraded, it must have the effect of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger......"

"But ......"

I didn't wait for Mrs. Wan to continue, so I said, "Mrs. Wan, Zimin is waiting for me outside Luoyang City, this time, I don't want her to wait too long." ”

When it came to Zimin, Mrs. Wan finally stopped persuading me, and it was inconvenient to say anything more.

After leaving Anren Palace, I wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it out of the city quickly and handed it to Sanniang.

Two days later, I galloped out of the Xuanwu Gate alone and met Sanniang at a long pavilion agreed upon outside Chang'an City.

Sanniang seemed a little surprised to see me come like this.

When I saw her look, I smiled and said, "What? I came alone, were you surprised? ”
