Xu Shiyun was stunned for a moment, seemed to suddenly understand, and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has chosen, could it be His Royal Highness himself?" After asking, he looked thoughtfully at the person who followed me, "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming prepared?" ”

I said, "Just in case." ”

Xu Shiyun said: "In the Hebei area, in addition to me, there are two people, and Your Highness can only win their hearts in Hebei unimpeded." ”

I pointed to the soldiers behind me and said, "That's right, these people are Li Jing who arranged to protect me." This sentence is to tell him that Li Jing has been loyal to me.

Actually, I shouldn't have doubted Xu Shiyun, he has been friends with me for a long time, I know him very well, and I know that if I ask him anything, he will probably not refuse, after all, I rescued his lord Zhai Rang back then.

But for some reason, every time I think of Luoyang City, I feel very uncomfortable, not only because Li Xuanba is my brother, Li Shimin is also my brother, but I will not be surprised if he does anything.

But Li Xuanba, I watched him grow up, took him to Daxingshan Temple to pray for blessings, taught him swordsmanship, and it was not easy to save him...... I don't understand why he's the way he is, thinking of killing me.

Even if it is true that he and I are not actually brothers, but a person who doesn't know where he came from occupies his eldest brother's body and calls for wind and rain in Li Tang's world, even so, I have never lost anything to him. But he betrayed me anyway.

Seeing that I was pondering, Xu Shiyun smiled and said: "Your Highness is suspicious of us, in fact, we are monarchs, and we should be like this, if Commander Zhai could be more vigilant against Li Mi's villain, he would not have almost died." Lessons from the past, please think deeply about His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Xu Shixian's words were more or less relieved to me, and I thought about it and said: "General Xu, I didn't doubt you and Li Jing, so I came to you, but now Li Yi, who is guarding Zhuo County, is really unpredictable, this person was suspicious before, and his heart was resentful, I was afraid that he had already had a different heart, so I came to you first." ”

Xu Shiyun said: "Your Highness wants to take away his military power without blood? ”

I nodded and said, "That's the idea, but this matter is not easy to do, I want to ask General Xu to go to Zhuo County in person." ”

Xu Shiyun naturally agreed.

Back in a small inn on the outskirts of Zhuo County, half a month has passed, and I left this time, and I can see that Zimin is very worried. Therefore, as soon as I returned, I reported my safety to Zimin.

But Zimin was still not at ease, holding my hand for a long time and not letting go, and after a long time he sighed and said, "Big brother, if you don't come back, I'm very worried." ”

I nodded my head in understanding, and when I thought about it, she couldn't see it, so I said "um", "I promised you, what are you worried about?" ”

Zi Min said: "In the past few days of your absence, Sister Yu'er has taught me the art of listening to sound and distinguishing position, and I am much more powerful than before." ”

I thought to myself that her ear power has always been very good, where do I need to learn, although I think so, but I can't bear to disappoint her interest, and said with a smile: "It's good to learn, it's okay not to learn, I will be your eyes in the future, and when things happen in Hebei, I will follow you every day, so that you can rest assured, what do you think?" ”

Zi Min said: "It's not good if you make a mistake." "But she didn't say she wouldn't let me take her.

After gossiping for a while, she asked again: "Boss Cao and Sister Yu'er are not worried about the safety of Xu Shimo and Feng Li, so it seems that they should be fine, but why would Li Yi treat them as traitors?" ”

I deliberately made her happy, so I deliberately wondered, "Why don't you tell me?" ”

Zi Min smiled: "Knowing the relationship between the eldest brother and the Qingyu Pavilion, you want to provoke it?" That's not right, Qingyu Pavilion can't be so fooled. I thought that Li Yi must have made some moves in the city, and he didn't want the people of Qingyu Pavilion to find out, so he drove them out of Zhuo County in advance. ”

I smiled and said, "Well, that's half right." ”

Zi Min said: "What is the other half?" ”

I said: "Among the Turkic tribes north of Zhuo County, most of them are Khitans who are subject to the Turks, but the one who guards the east is Shi Bo Bi, the youngest son of Shibi Khan, who is young and willful, and the Khitans have long been opposed, so they discussed with Li Yi and attacked the Turks before and after, Li Yi claimed the king in Hebei, and the Khitans stood on their own in the Liaodong area. ”

Zi Min said: "Is this so? Collusion with foreign vassals was originally their usual trick, it seems that Li Yi has been prepared for a long time, and the eldest brother wants to seize his military power, but I am afraid that it will not be easy. ”

I was shocked and laughed, "How do you know?" ”

Zi Min said: "Big brother can't underestimate people. You asked Mr. Wang to write an article, in order to test them, General Xu and General Li Jing actually didn't need to be tempted, and the eldest brother wanted to use their power to get rid of Li Yi? ”

I clapped my hands and said, "Exactly." ”

Zimin's inference was correct, I asked Li Jing to help me send the text to Li Yijun, he must think more when he saw the text, and Xu Shiyun went to Li Yi with the same text, and discussed with Li Yi how to avoid the seizure of military power, and took the opportunity to kill Li Yi.

After hearing this, Zimin seemed to be a little worried and said, "Big brother, let General Xu do this matter, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Commander Zhai was almost killed like this back then, and now let him harm others......"

My mind moved, and I knew that Zimin's reminder was not unreasonable.

It's just something that Xu Shiyun promised, and he will definitely not break his promise. I took Zimin's hand and smiled, "I just want to see what Xu Shiyun will do." ”

Zi Min understood and nodded slowly.

She knew that if she wanted to take over the world, I couldn't be the same as before. As Du Shu said that day, if Li Jiancheng is still the same Li Jiancheng as before, then he should leave with Zimin after leaving Luoyang, the farther away the better, and it is impossible to come back at all.

But now everything has changed, I used to always wonder why people's hearts are fickle, but now that I have changed, I understand that in the past, I saw many things and felt beautiful, all because they were too simple, and in the royal family, as a prince, if there is no city, it can only be calculated.

Zimin knows how to perceive people's hearts best, and she understands such a simple truth more thoroughly than me.

And what I don't understand is that if her affection for me in the past was based on me as a person, and it had nothing to do with status and identity, then one day I changed, how would she see me?

Zimin seemed to understand my worries, I stood beside her for a long time without saying a word, she only leaned on my arm and smiled: "Big brother, you might as well learn from your father." ”

I was stunned-

Learning Dad? He once said that he tried to have a clear conscience in dealing with people, but sometimes many things are often involuntary, whether it was when he helped Yang Guang to blame Yang Yong, or later deliberately indulged in alcohol to protect himself. He had to do all these things, but once he was able to act from his heart, he would go back to the beginning.

This is not forgetting the original intention.
