"Today's dishes are very much in line with the old man's intentions, especially the five ways of beef, each with its own characteristics, the cow of Rengui's family did not fall to death in vain, and it was worth falling."

At the door of Xue's house, Cheng Yanjin, who was wearing a white silk robe, touched his bulging belly, burped with satisfaction, and patted Li Xiao's shoulder very kindly and said in appreciation.

Xue Rengui laughed twice helplessly, everyone knew that his cow didn't really fall to his death, and Lao Cheng wanted to say it, it would be a little unkind.

The emperor on the side, Li Zhi, wiped his mouth and regarded Lao Cheng's words as deaf. Knowing that Xue Rengui had violated the ban on slaughtering cattle privately, the beef was indeed very delicious today. Especially he gained a lot from today's trip, just now a few monarchs and ministers put their hearts into their hearts, Xue Rengui played a helping voice, Cheng Biting Jin showed loyalty, and Li Ji finally expressed his attitude, hinting that if the eldest grandson Wuji had inappropriate behavior, he would resolutely oppose it.

That's enough.

It's nearly dusk, and the sun is setting.

Li Zhizhi was full of pride, full of fighting spirit, and no longer hesitated and worried when he came before.

"It's a waste to have a great talent, but to stay in the countryside and study cooking." Cheng Yanjin sighed.

Li Zhi turned his head to look at Li Xiao, he had just heard the Wu clan tell him about Li Xiao's plan to deal with the eldest grandson Wuji, which was indeed very good, although he himself had such thoughts. Originally, I hated this Li San, but looking at this kid at this time, I did feel a little sorry for my talent.

"Lu Guogong, if you are willing to carry him, then take him with you, there is a conscription document from the imperial court, and I forgive this kid and he will not dare to resist."

Li Xiao glanced at Li Zhi, he was very dissatisfied with this old Wang, he really picked up the bowl to eat, and scolded his mother when he put down the bowl. I just ate a mouth full of oil, and when I put down the bowl, I was going to push myself into the fire pit in Liaodong, what kind of person.

Shameless.

Cheng Yanjin looked at Li Xiao.

"You really don't want to go to Liaodong?"

"No, no." Li Xiao has a resolute attitude, what are you doing in Liaodong in a free life. He is just a small landlord, and he is not a general, even if he does not go to war, he will not be ashamed.

Cheng Yanjin shook his head, what a good opportunity, I just don't know how to cherish it in front of this kid.

"Forget it, since you are instigating someone, then be your dog and bear to the end, anyway, there is no more of you in the Eastern Crusade army, and there is no less of you."

Li Zhi saw Cheng Biting Jin say this, so he didn't say more.

Although as long as he wants, he can force an order for Li Xiao to go with the army, but there is no need for that.

The servants of each house brought horses.

Cheng Yanjin, Li Ji, Su Lie, and Xue Rengui accompanied the emperor while walking and talking.

"The Eastern Expeditionary Army is about to start, and tens of thousands of Eastern Expeditionary soldiers, except for some who have been assembled in the prefectures and counties along the way, have already assembled in the suburbs of Beijing. There are many soldiers and horses, so we must control the soldiers well and not make trouble. Li Zhi said to Cheng Yanjin with a serious expression.

Lao Cheng understood.

The war between the emperor and the eldest grandson Wuji is about to begin, although it is not known to what extent, but the preparations must be made.

As the general of the forbidden army in Beijing today, especially as the commander of the Eastern Expedition, he still holds tens of thousands of assembled Eastern Expeditionary soldiers in his hands, which is a key trump card.

If it is true that the eldest grandson and others reach a critical time, it is possible to use force when necessary.

"From tomorrow onwards, the old minister will be stationed in the barracks and strictly restrain the soldiers with wartime military orders. Once His Majesty has a decree, the minister will lead a large battalion of soldiers to listen to the dispatch of the Hou and go to the soup to fight the fire. ”

Cheng Yanjin followed Taizong to carry out the Xuanwumen Rebellion back then, and the mutiny that year can be described as extremely sinister. At that time, Taizong had no soldiers in his hands, no one wanted people, and he was in a weak position in all aspects.

But he struck first, killed Jiancheng and Yuanji with a few hundred people, controlled the palace, put the emperor under house arrest, and finally mastered the situation in Chang'an and successfully seized the supreme power of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, he knows better than others that sometimes, the Son of Heaven is not at ease, hundreds of dead soldiers, a few henchmen, maybe they can counterattack and change the sky.

"With Lu Guogong sitting in the camp on the outskirts, I will be relieved."

Xue Rengui and Su Lie, the two Yulin generals on the left and the right, also said that before setting out on the expedition, they would personally sit in the Yulin Army camp in Beiyuan and guard the Xuanwu Gate.

Far on the other side.

Li Xiao and Xue Chuyu stood in front of the Xue Mansion and spoke, "What kind of woman is Lao Wang's daughter-in-law, she is as smart as a human spirit, this kid is really lucky to get such a woman." ”

"She, it's not Brother Wang's main room, it's a side room, surnamed Wu."

"What's the last name?"

Li Xiao asked with some sensitivity.

"Last Name ······" Xue Chuyu reacted suddenly, and hurriedly changed his words, "The surname is Yang." ”

"You didn't say your surname Yang just now, right?"

"I'm just talking about the surname Yang, Hongnong Yang, the Guanxi lord, and the Sui Dynasty royal family is here."

"Then the side room of the old king won't also be the queen of the Sui Dynasty's royal family, right?"

"Well, her grandfather was a county king of the Sui Dynasty."

Li Xiao always felt that what this kid just said was not surnamed Yang, as if he was surnamed Wulai.

The surname is Wu, the surname is Yang, and Lao Wang.

He looked into the distance, and he could vaguely see the British Duke Li Ji seeing off Lao Wang, as if he was bowing down?

Looking closer, Lao Wang had already mounted his horse and left.

He wiped his eyes, could he have seen it wrong.

Xue Chuyu said that Lao Wang was only related to Li Ji and their family, and Lao Wang's daughter-in-law also said that Lao Wang's family was now fighting among themselves, saying that he was the head of the Wang family.

Xue Chuyu also said that Lao Wang is the Taiyuan Wang.

So which branch of the Taiyuan Wang clan is he? After all, the Taiyuan Wang clan is one of the five surnames and seven sects, but the Taiyuan Wang clan also has multiple branches, such as a Qinghe Cui clan, there are seven or eight branches, which have long been scattered, and each branch has been developed for many years.

For example, one of the Cui clan in Qinghe moved to Xingyang, Henan Province as early as possible, and this house is also called Xingyang Fang.

I always feel that this old king is mysterious.

"Yulang, you said that we are such good brothers, why do you deliberately deceive your brothers, you just said that your surname is Wu Okay, it's really my ear." Li Xiao deliberately deceived Xue Chuyu.

He stared at Xue Chuyu carefully to see his reaction, only to see Xue Chuyu's expression change obviously, but he still insisted on it, "You heard it wrong, this side room of Brother Wang is indeed surnamed Yang, from the Hongnong Yang family." How could I lie to you about our relationship? ”

Seeing his reaction, Li Xiao became more and more sure, it seems that he did not hear it wrong, what Xue Chuyu said before was surnamed Wu, as for why he changed his words later, and why he insisted on lying to himself, it seems to be very inside.

Wu Clan, Wu Clan, could it be that Wu Clan?
