After saying this, Sister Yuru got up and took out a brocade box from under the dresser, handed it to me, and said: "I gave this back to my father, and my father gave it to me before he died, I think you gave it to me in the past, and I still give it back to you." ”

Zimin took it for me, and when I opened it, it turned out to be the wooden hairpin that I gave to Sister Yuru when I went to Doufu to offer treasures.

Seeing things and thinking about people, seeing this wooden hairpin, I thought of my father, and I couldn't help but feel sentimental.

When Zi Min and I were about to leave the Dou Mansion, Dou Dan went and returned, hurriedly returned to the mansion, and saw that Zi Min and I had not left, so he took out a letter from his arms and said, "This is Wan Guifei...... The concubine asked me to send it to you, but fortunately you didn't leave. ”

I took the letter, and before I opened it and read it carefully, there was a report from the middle and lower people of Dou Dan's mansion, saying that a large number of forbidden troops surrounded the gate of the mansion, and I don't know why.

Sister Yuru and I looked at each other, and both of us were shocked.

Dou Dan's face showed anger, and he said to the person who reported it: "Don't panic, take me to the front door to have a look." Just about to leave, he turned to Sister Yuru and said, "Yuru, don't worry, wait for me to come back." ”

Sister Yuru nodded slightly.

After Dou Dan left, I said to Sister Yuru: "If they come at us, it has nothing to do with Sister Yuru, we will leave immediately, and we will never affect you." ”

Yuru shook her head and said, "I'm afraid not necessarily." ”

Zi Min also said: "The eldest brother was in front of the Xuanwu Gate before, and was shot by him with his own hands, he didn't know that the eldest brother was still alive. ”

Sister Yuru nodded yes.

After a short time, Dou Dan went and returned, and when he walked into Sister Yuru's room, he seemed to suppress the anger in his chest, and wanted to say something to Sister Yuru, but he couldn't open his mouth.

I thought for a moment and asked, "Commander Dou, who are the people here?" ”

Dou Dan said: "Forbidden army." ”

Zi Min was puzzled, and also asked, "Commander Dou, but what happened?" ”

Dou Dan looked at Sister Yuru, my thoughts turned, and I suddenly understood a little, and said: "Commander Dou, I attacked Nanliang before, and I ordered Xiaochen to guard Xiangzhou, is it because of this?" ”

Yuru heard me mention Dou Xiaochen, there was a worry on his face, he looked at Dou Dan, and saw that he was silent, and he already understood most of the words in his heart, and there was no need to ask more about the rest of the words.

The room was silent for a long time, and Dou Dan said: "Now, only if I go to Xiangzhou in person can I keep Chen Er's safe." ”

Sister Yuru said: "Even if you go, I'm afraid you may not be able to keep the peace of the whole house, when he was in Luoyang, even Du Ruhui who saddled the horse for him can still be suspicious, let alone your father and son?" ”

Zi Min said: "Sister Yuru is right, Zi Min is worried that if Commander Dou goes with the army, he will not even be able to protect himself. ”

Dou Dan said: "So far, it has to be like this. ”

I looked at the wooden hairpin in my hand, and suddenly remembered my father, what would happen if he was still alive...... After thinking for a while, I suddenly understood, in fact, Li Shimin and I have long been insignificant in his heart, and his favorite is still Li Yuanji, who has never left Jinyang. ”

Sister Yuru took out the shadowless note, and I took it and said: "Sister Yuru, I know that you only want peace, and now because of me, the Dou Commander and filial piety are in danger of dying at any time, if I stand by and watch, it is really too unreasonable." While speaking, I looked at Sister Yuru and Dou Dan, what they wanted to say, I didn't give them a chance, I just waved my hand, and said, "How long does Li Shimin give you to consider?" ”

Dou Dan said: "Two days." ”

I said: "Enough, within two days, the siege in front of the Dou Mansion will be lifted." ”

As he spoke, he took Zimin's hand and was about to leave.

Dou Dan stopped me and said, "Your Majesty...... Built, what do you want to do? ”

I said: "Commander Dou doesn't have to ask, Sister Yuru's health is not good, and she has been scared for days, Commander Dou still accompanies her more, and the rest of the things, you don't have to worry." ”

While speaking, Zimin and I had already come to the back door, and from the crack in the door, the entire mansion was surrounded.

This naturally didn't bother me and Zimin, so we first crossed the wall, walked around the wall, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the soldiers guarding outside the courtyard to fly away from the Dou Mansion.

When he returned to the Seven Immortals Villa, the village was empty, and everyone seemed to have left Chang'an within a day.

Du Shu only left a letter, but she didn't write it for herself, but for Zhang Wensu, saying that if she wanted to meet again one day, she should be on the bank of Luoshui.

After reading the letter left by Du Kill, and wandering in the Seven Kills Villa for a while, Zi Min reminded: "Commander Dou returned to the house to deliver a message to Mrs. Wan, I don't know what Mrs. has to trust, big brother, the letter is still on me?" ”

I suddenly realized, took out the letter from my bosom that I hadn't had time to open, and said, "Yes." ”

As he spoke, he leaned in front of Zi Min and looked at it carefully with Zi Min, but he was taken aback again.

It turned out that after Li Shimin occupied Daxing Palace that day, he immediately found Mrs. Wan and asked Mrs. Wan what the edict of the first emperor said, Mrs. Wan naturally could not tell the truth, and did not follow his wishes, Li Shimin was angry and moved Mrs. Wan out of Anren Palace, and let her live in the cold palace.

Zimin read the letter and said, "Big brother, how did Mrs. Wan know that the eldest brother is not dead?" ”

I was shocked, and I also realized this problem, and I thought about it for a while, but I couldn't quite understand, could it be that Dou Dan told Mrs. Wan? No, Dou Dan is not such an imprudent person, if he told Sister Yuru because he was afraid that she would worry, it was definitely not his way to tell Mrs. Wan again.

Seeing that I was silent in thought, Zimin asked again: "Big brother, isn't it wrong that we have left like this, but so many innocent people have suffered?" ”

I said, "When I was here to persuade Du to kill for the sake of the people of the world, I ignored them. ”

Zi Min said: "But the eldest brother is not bad, if Chang'an is chaotic again, the world will be turbulent......

I knew what she was going to say next, so I interrupted her and said: "You just listened to Commander Dou's words, although Nanliang has been pacified, but now it is Dou Xiaochen who guards Xiangcheng, Xu Shao who sits in Jiangling, Yuezhou is occupied by Li Jing, Luoyang is occupied by Luo Shixin, and a little further, Hebei to Liyang is occupied by Xu Shixian, and Guanzhong north of Luoyang, which is guarded by Cheng Zhijie and Qin Qiong, and Shanxi has Yuanji, these people have more or less festivals with Li Shimin, they have heavy troops, and it is not so simple for them to submit to Li Shimin. ”

Zi Min said: "But they all thought that the eldest brother was dead, and when Mr. Zhang left Luoyang, didn't he also tell Luo Shixin that because of the eldest brother, the eldest brother was dead, and he himself should retire to the rivers and lakes." ”

I said, "That's right. Mr. Zhang knew my intentions and deliberately concealed it for me, but Li Shimin's behavior towards Dou Dan today was really excessive. ”

Zi Min said: "The eldest brother just swore to Sister Yuru, but what idea did he have?" ”

I said, "I just thought of it, since he won't spare people, we don't have to spare him anymore." These people have suffered because of me, and I must give them an account. ”
