The two angels Lin Nan and Zhu Fen gave Li Mao a secret edict, with Li Mao's current concentration, after reading it, he still broke out in a cold sweat, and he said to the two messengers: "Please return to the saint, the ministers should try their best to promote this matter." There are almost all the books I want to read.,It's a lot more stable than the general station.,It's faster than the update.,There's no ads in the whole text.。 ”
Lin Nanpi smiled and said: "Everyone, leave the two of us here to be the guide, Uncle Gushan, you do yours, the two of us just look at it and don't say anything, let alone point fingers." ”
Li Mao frowned and said, "Is this necessary?"
Zhu Fen was dumbfounded and shouted: "Bold, you dare to question the Holy Lord's dictation, what is your intention?"
Lin Nan held his hand and persuaded with a smile: "You misunderstood Uncle Gushan, Uncle Gushan is worried that we will have an accident, people are in Zhengzhou City, but they are powerful characters who stomp their feet and tremble in half of the city." But Uncle Loneshan, the two of us are on an errand, you see, don't embarrass us. ”
Qin Mo came out and said to Li Mao: "These two dead yin and yang people are that part"
Li Mao shook his head and said, "It's not like the person who Tutu Chengguang, and I haven't heard the names of these two people before." ”
Li Mao handed over the secret edict to Qin Mo, and after reading it, the latter's face turned blue, and he relieved himself for a while, and asked, "You already knew"
Li Mao said: "In the year of Yongzhen, Emperor Shunzong mentioned it to me and asked me to choose the opportunity to tell it to Jinshang. ”
Qin Mo said: "You didn't say it"
Li Mao shook his head and said, "Why bother me to say it, this matter is originally an open secret, he knows." ”
Qin Mo said: "Looking at it this way, he no longer trusts you, how did Chen Shu do it, he can't see through anything"
Li Mao said: "Don't blame him, he is having a hard time now." ”
Qin Mo said anxiously: "What should I do now, as soon as I leave, I still do what you don't want to do with my conscience, I think it's better to run, go to Liaodong, it seems that you knew there would be this day." ”
Li Mao said: "Implement the second set of plans. I'm going to meet the old lady. ”
Qin Mo stopped Li Mao and shouted excitedly: "Are you crazy, this is clearly a trap, you can't get out if you get involved." They're going to make you a substitute for the dead. ”
Li Mao patted Qin Mo on the shoulder and said lightly: "There are always some things that you don't want to face but have to face." Don't worry, I've not been a fool all these years. ”
Sent Qin Mo away, Li Mao came to Hu Yuchun's house. The Hu family is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, but the two worlds of ice and fire are separated by a wall, Li Mao said to Hu Yuchun's younger brother Hu Yuzhen and Wu Yanzhong, the head of the Hu family's gun and stick sect: "Don't stop me, I have no bad intentions, let me go to see the old lady." ”
Behind Wu Yanzhong, Hu Yuzhen didn't have much contact with Li Mao, and he didn't know whether to trust him or not at this juncture.
"Let him in."
One person stood at the corner gate and shouted coldly, it was Meng Yingchun.
Meng Yingchun's eyes were so cold that they could make people freeze, and he was very hostile to Li Mao. Li Mao didn't care about explaining anything, only said, "I want to see the old lady." Meng Yingchun suppressed the anger in his chest and said coldly: "Follow me." ”
The Hu family's inner house was slaughtered, and hundreds of soldiers in gray-brown men's costumes were in place, armed with swords, guns, bows and crossbows, and were waiting for the battle. In front of the old lady Li's door, Liu Mingzhuan, Chi Longshu and Qian Duoduo and other young people also finished neatly, hanging knives at their waists, holding bows in their hands, looking at Li Mao vigilantly, without the usual respect at all.
Li Mao ignored everyone, and after Chi Longshu opened the door, he stepped in, and there were five or six female soldiers in strong suits in the courtyard of the inner house, holding a snowy horizontal knife in their hands, and they were also slaughtering.
They are all servants serving the old lady, every time Li Mao comes, they greet each other with a smile, although they are no longer young, they are all dressed up in flowers, and their manners are also gentle and elegant, these seemingly weak women suddenly turned into female warriors, which made Li Mao a little unacceptable.
Hu Yuchun was waiting under the corridor, although his expression was calm, the corners of his eyebrows were difficult, and when he saw Li Mao bowing his hand, he let him in, and stretched out his hand to stop Meng Yingchun, and said softly: "You better not go in." ”
Meng Yingchun glared at Li Mao hostilely and did not insist.
Several servant women in the house were mobilizing the Li family to change their cloaks, but the Li family was unwilling to do so, so they hid like children. Seeing Li Mao, as if he saw a savior, he grabbed his arm and begged for help: "Parents are here, it's good if you come, you come to evaluate the reasoning, this day is good, I have to cross the river to live in the east of the river for two days, and I am in a hurry like fleeing, why should I flee in this peaceful and prosperous world." ”
After speaking, Hu Yuchun had already driven out the idle people, and beckoned Meng Yingchun and his younger brother Hu Yuzhen to guard at the door, and then said to the Li family: "Mother, don't make trouble, there is a big incident at home." ”
Li Mao helped her sit down, knelt down on one knee and said: "There is a traitor in the court, and the minister asks the empress dowager to move to avoid it." ”
Li Shi looked at Li Mao and asked lovingly, "You came to our house to protect me."
Li Mao said: "The truth that the ministers only learned after the Yuan and Year Dynasties, Emperor Shunzong left an edict and ordered the ministers to serve the Empress Dowager carefully, and not to allow the slightest mistake." ”
Li said with a smile: "My poor grandson, his heart is good, and he can do things foolishly, you are just a helpless courtier, what can you do to protect me if you really have something, but it is really embarrassing for you." ”
Li secretly glanced at Meng Yingchun, who was guarding under the corridor, leaned down and asked Li Mao: "Are you sincere to Yingchun, or are you hypocritically using her as a springboard to approach the old body and tell the truth, not perfunctory." ”
Li Mao said: "I really like her. ”
Li smiled: "That's good, then you can get up." ”
After Li Mao got up, Li said again: "I'm dozens of years old, I've lived enough, it's worth living, if they want to harm me, just let them come, I want to see how the emperor in Chang'an Palace can treat me, the daughter-in-law who has disgraced the old Li family." ”
Li Mao said: "No one in the world dares to do anything to you, the emperor in Chang'an Palace sincerely invites you to go back, but you have to plan more for Da Lang and Erlang."
Li whispered: "The second child is not my own, he was picked up by me from the street, you can't tell him." ”
Li Mao said: "In the eyes of traitors, it's all the same. ”
"Why is there always a traitor in the court of my Tang Dynasty, no matter how holy the emperor is, he will be deceived by the traitorous ministers, it has been the same since ancient times, there is really no way, there is no way." Li muttered for a while, and said to Hu Yuchun: "Ask Yingchun to change my clothes, I have something to tell her, look at this childish, pouting mouth can hang a sesame oil bottle." ”
Hu Yuchun went out and explained two sentences to Yingchun, sent her to change the old lady's clothes, and walked to the pavilion in the courtyard with Li Mao, and the female soldiers and generals immediately entered the inner room and lined up under the corridor, looking not only extraordinary martial arts, but also knew some marching formations.
"They were all sent by Emperor Shunzong to serve when he was in the palace." Hu Yuchun said to Li Mao, "He is a very enlightened person, but there are inevitably traitors in the DPRK and China, who want to make a fuss about our mother and son." Two days in the morning, I sensed that something was wrong in the city, and suddenly there were many people from the capital, and I had already arranged to cross the river to the east of the river, where there was a hiding place I had arranged. ”
Hu Yuchun said this, Li Mao did not know, since he was dismissed from the post of Zuo Longxiangjun, Li Mao deliberately kept a distance from the old department, so as not to cause greater trouble, in Zhengzhou, his ears and eyes are far less than Hu Yuchun's well-informed. In fact, even in the past, in Zhengzhou, his ears and eyes could not be compared to Hu Yuchun.
Li Mao said: "The angel has arrived in the city, and the road out of the city is afraid that it has been blocked, how to go"
Hu Yuchun said: "If you really can't do it, you can break out, most of the garrison are brothers from the boat gang, as long as I give an order, they may not dare to disobey the order, and they can still do it if they delay for a while." I have 300 warriors under my men, and it is not a problem to reach the river safely, and when I get to the river, I have my own boat to help the brothers to meet them, and it is not a problem to cross the river. When I arrived in Hebei, it was the boundary of Heyang, and I am afraid that their heads were not as familiar as mine. ”
Li Mao said: "You have eyes and ears in the garrison, but you know that they don't have eyes and ears in the boat gang, half of Zhengzhou's wealth is in your house, once something happens, will they still care about brotherhood, with all due respect, the boat gang is loosely organized, emphasizing profit over righteousness, hello to me on weekdays, hello everyone, once something happens, there are not many brothers who can rely on it." ”
Hu Yuchun was stunned, Li Mao's understanding of the boat gang was profound, this organization was too big and loose, far less powerful than the outside world thought.
His biological mother Li's surname is Shen, her name is Pearl, Wu Xingren's family, at the end of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, she was selected into the palace as a son of a good family, and was given to the Tang Dynasty Sect, who was the king of Guangping at the time, and later had to give birth to Li Shi. In the Anshi Rebellion, he fell into the hands of the rebels, and after several ups and downs, he fell into exile. During the Jianzhong period, Li Shizun Shen was the "Ruizhen Empress Dowager", and the queen was dressed in the "standing card" of the Hanyuan Palace, and Li Shiqin bowed down and cried bitterly.
In order to find his biological mother, Dezong Li Shi adopted the suggestion of Gao Shen, a member of the Zhongshu Society, and appointed Li Shu, the king of Mu, as the envoy to Fengying, and the four members of the Shen clan as judges.
"At the end of Jianzhong, someone found us in Xuzhou and persuaded my mother to go back to the palace, and my mother pulled me to him: If I go back, will the Son of Heaven recognize this brother If not, wouldn't it be a human tragedy The emperor wants to have a mother, but can the court still accept a queen mother who is no longer chaste You let the royal family be ashamed, will there be good rewards in the future
The man was stunned and speechless, there were many fake queen mothers found in the middle of the year, and the emperor was not to blame for his tolerance, but a real queen mother who gave birth to a baby Hulu, who had the courage to welcome him back to the palace for this hesitation, we moved away overnight. After we arrived in Zhengzhou, we changed our name and surname, and worked hard for more than 30 years to have today's situation. My mother didn't allow me to be an official in the court, so I had to mix in the rivers and lakes and manage my cheap business, I thought that I could live a peaceful life, but I didn't expect that at the end, at the end, they still refused to let us go. ”
The imperial court looked for the Empress Dowager Shen for decades to no avail, to Shunzong Li Yu succeeded to the throne, there was a division to suggest to stop, Li Yu agreed, issued an edict in the inner hall of Suzhang for the Shen family to mourn, on the Empress Dowager, built a mound in the tomb of Daizong and set up a god located in the temple of Daizong.
Li Yu abdicated the throne as the Empress Taishang and moved to live in Xingqing Palace, Li Mao was the young eunuch of the palace province, and stayed in Xingqing Palace with Tutu Chengxuan, Li Yu knew that time was running out, and mentioned this matter to Li Mao, so that Li Mao swore to do his best to protect the mother and son of the Empress Dowager Shen. Li Yu had lost power at that time, and was under house arrest by Li Chun in Xingqing Palace and could not see anyone, and the only person he could trust and rely on in the court and the central government and could tell him in person was Li Mao, and Li Mao's holy family was in Zhenglong that day, and it seemed that he was indeed a person who could be trusted.
In this way, he entrusted the mother and son of the Empress Dowager Shen to Li Mao, and Li Mao did his best to take care of it, and when the Longxiang army laid out the world, he took Zhengzhou from Lin Ying at a great price, but did not arrange a single soldier here, because Li Mao believed that no matter how clever the disguise was, there would be a day when flaws would be revealed, and if you wanted to protect the integrity of her mother and son, it was best to do nothing.
"There is another way now, I will go back to Beijing to face the saint, take out the edict of the first emperor, and not let the queen mother return to Luan."
"This method doesn't work, you go back to Beijing for fear that you won't even be able to see the emperor's face, and you can barely see it, how can you tell him, saying that the Empress Dowager Shen, who the Tang royal family tried her best to find, failed to keep her chastity, married a few husbands in exile, and gave birth to a Hu child, you let the royal face He save the face of the Queen Mother, if that, I would rather die now."
Li Mao said: "The Son of Heaven has a broader heart than you think, Princess Xian'an is an example, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty will not reject a person who loses his chastity because he is cornered." ”
Hu Yuchun sighed and said: "The princess is the princess, and the queen mother is the queen mother, how can they be compared." And this matter is strange, it won't be so simple inside, so it's better to leave this place first. I have a plan, I will go to meet them, pretend to discuss the matter of the Queen Mother's return to Luan, stabilize them, and you take the opportunity to get out. ”
Li Mao said: "Do this, what should you do?"
Hu Yuchun said: "If his heart is really as broad as the sea, why am I afraid, if his heart is like a needle nose, then I still have a way to live?"
Li Mao was silent.
