In the Yang Nong's Mansion in Chang'an City, Li Xiu and Wei Zheng walked side by side, and there were people from the Yang Mansion in front of them to guide the way, but from time to time someone cast angry eyes at Wei Zheng, after all, they all knew that it was all because of this guy that their master was angry and couldn't afford to be sick, and they were angry with Wei Zheng, but they even rolled their eyes at Li Xiu, which made Li Xiu really worried about his safety, in case there was a loyal and courageous Yang Mansion slave carrying a knife to avenge their master, maybe even he would be cut down. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Compared with Li Xiu's worries, Wei Zheng had a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, holding his chest up and raising his head with an extraordinary bearing, looking at the surrounding domestic slaves as if they were nothing, it was estimated that he was also intimidated by his momentum, and no one dared to stop him along the way, and only after passing through several courtyards did he come to the place where Yang Nong lived, and when he entered the bedroom and saw each other, Li Xiu couldn't help but have a sour nose, and almost shed a few tears for this poor old man.

I saw Yang Nong half-lying on the bed at this time, leaning on a few pillows behind him, his face was a little pale in the yellow, his lips were also a little blue, with gray hair and sunken cheeks, he looked like he was about to swallow at any time, and the old fox appearance when Li Xiu first saw him that day was simply like two people.

"Hey, why are you here too?" Yang Nong was lying there weakly, and he didn't have any kind words when he saw Wei Zheng, but when he saw Li Xiu walking in behind Wei Zheng, he couldn't help but be surprised, but he was still very weak when he spoke, which made people wonder if he could survive this time?

"I heard that Yang Shangshu was sick, so I specially came to visit with Wei Xima!" Li Xiu also smiled bitterly at this time, looking at Yang Nong's weakened appearance, he couldn't bear to say anything about asking him to be Wei Zheng's deputy, in case the old man couldn't think about it for a while, maybe he would have to kick his legs and burp on the spot, who was the disaster then?

"I'm worried about Lao Li's sacrificial wine, but this person has a big heart, and he can't die for the time being, but he has disappointed some people!" Yang Nong said something else, and when it came to the end, he also deliberately glared at Wei Zheng, he didn't have any good feelings about this guy who robbed him of his credit, and he didn't even want to see the other party just now, but Wei Zheng insisted on refusing to leave, which made him helpless to invite the other party in.

"Yang Shangshu, this official came today to discuss an important matter of government affairs, not to listen to your complaints!" Wei Zheng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he replied with a stiff voice at the moment, he is really not afraid of making Yang Nong angry to death.

"Yang Shangshu, in fact, Wei Xima came here today to ask you to help promote corn and sweet potatoes!" Li Xiu was afraid that Wei Zheng's stunned man would make Yang Nong angry, so he hurriedly explained.

Sure enough, before Yang Nong could get angry, he immediately showed a surprised expression when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then glanced at Wei Zheng and asked, "What is the assistance in promoting corn and sweet potatoes, isn't this matter already handed over to Wei Xima?" ”

"That's the case, Wei Xima feels that corn and sweet potatoes are related to the well-being of the people in the world, so he is worried that he will have some omissions, but Yang Shangshu is experienced in this area, so please help him, if Yang Shangshu does not dislike it, Wei Xima is willing to ask you to be his deputy, and any credit in the future will definitely be indispensable to Yang Shangshu Your share!" Li Xiu explained again, and looked at the other party with some apprehension after speaking, for fear that the old man would not be able to open his eyes and faint.

However, to Li Xiu's surprise, Yang Nong showed a surprised expression again when he heard this, looked at Li Xiu at the moment, and then looked at Wei Zheng with a complicated face, and only after a while did he speak: "This is true, Wei Xima is really willing to let the old man intervene in the promotion of high-yield crops?" ”

"This official never tells lies, if Yang Shangshu doesn't dislike it, it's best to go to my house for a detailed discussion in the next few days!" Wei Zheng said with a straight face at this time.

"This is not good, Yang Shangshu is so sick, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up for a while, right?" Li Xiu said with some worry when he heard Wei Zheng's words, no matter how Yang Nong looked, he didn't look like a person who could run around in just a few days.

"Don't worry about Li Xijiu, the old man is sick, and now he is better, and he can discuss business tomorrow!" What Li Xiu never expected was that Yang Nong suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up at this time, and the whole person also recovered a little bit of energy, which made Li Xiu wonder if he was pretending to be sick just now?

Seeing that Yang Nong was so contrasting before and after, Wei Zheng also showed an expression of surprise, but quickly regained his composure and said: "Well, after tomorrow's court meeting, I will wait for Yang Shangshu in the mansion!" ”

After Wei Zheng finished talking about business, he immediately got up and said goodbye, without the slightest drag, which also made Li Xiu quite appreciative, this kind of person does things just to do things, it seems that he will never be mixed with personal feelings, and he is very efficient, if everyone is like him, I am afraid there is really nothing that cannot be done.

Li Xiu originally came with Wei Zheng, so he also said goodbye with him, Yang Nong actually stood up at this time and sent them out of the bedroom, which made Li Xiu almost sure that this old man should have pretended to be sick just now, at least his illness was definitely not as serious as the legend, but it was also powerful to pretend to be sick to that extent.

After leaving the Yang Mansion, Li Xiu and Wei Zheng also immediately said goodbye to each other, Wei Zheng was in a hurry, and he took over the promotion, so naturally there were a lot of affairs to deal with, and Li Xiu didn't want to get along with him too much, it may be the reason for the incompatibility of his personality, Li Xiu always felt a little embarrassed to be with Wei Zheng, as if he had no place to put his hands and feet, so he also ran away and left.

Li Xiu wanted to go home, but walking on the streets of Chang'an, he suddenly thought that he hadn't been to Chang'an City for a long time, and it was not right to say this, to be exact, he hadn't wandered around the streets of Chang'an City for a long time like now, looking at the pedestrians coming and going on Suzaku Street, Li Xiu suddenly became a little interested, and now he walked along the street while playing, and even went to the commercial area of several squares to buy something, ready to take it back to Qi Niang and them as small gifts.

Walking and walking, Li Xiu unconsciously came to the east side of the palace, a little further east is the East Market, although the East Market is not as prosperous as the West Market, but most of the people who live around here are some powerful people, and most of the goods sold in the East Market are some luxury goods, and the security in the East Market is much better, thinking that he has not bought a gift for Yiniang and Princess Pingyang, so he walked into the East Market, and bought a few pieces of jewelry for a long time, and he didn't have to give money, Li Xiu didn't bring so much money on him, and the guys in the store would deliver them to the door.

In the afternoon, Li Xiu also felt a little hungry, there happened to be a hotel in front of him, he was about to go in to eat something, but at this time, suddenly only heard a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and then saw a group of people and horses galloping from a distance, and the people on both sides of the road were also frightened to dodge, and Li Xiu was also squeezed to the side of the road.

"Huh? How is he? When Li Xiu saw the person in charge, he couldn't help but be surprised, only to see that the person in charge was Li Shimin, and there were many people behind him, many of whom were Li Xiu's acquaintances, such as the eldest grandson Wuji, Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong, and others, as for the other people who didn't know each other, they were all domineering, and it was estimated that most of them were generals in the Tiance Mansion.

However, among these people behind Li Shimin, Li Xiu found a person who surprised him very much, this person was Chai Shao, who had not been seen for a long time, I saw that Chai Shao was behind Li Shimin at this time, obviously very close to Li Shimin, and compared with before, Chai Shao is now much thinner, and his beard has grown, and he looks much more mature.

"Chai Shao is actually with Li Shimin?" Li Xiu couldn't help but muttered to himself in surprise when he saw Chai Shao, and then frowned, he remembered what Ma Ye said to him last time, Chai Shao suddenly cheered up from decadence, something must have happened in this, and now it seems that this matter is likely to be related to Li Shimin.

I saw Li Shimin take people to the front of the restaurant, and then they all flew off the horse, Li Xiu was worried that the other party would see him, so he hurriedly hid behind a stall selling masks, but after Li Shimin got off the horse, he turned his head and talked and laughed with Chai Shaoyou next to him, and then the two almost entered the restaurant side by side.

"I see, it seems that Chai Shao has climbed Li Shimin's thigh, but now that Li Shimin is weak, what does he have to rely on?" Li Xiu muttered to himself again when he saw this, but when he said the end, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought of a possibility, which made him tremble in fright, "Could it be Li Shimin that he has ......?"

When it came to the end, Li Xiu didn't dare to say any more, but he couldn't help but show a sad expression on his face, no matter how much he changed the history of the Tang Dynasty, it was a pity that he still had to come, no wonder Li Shimin ran to drink with him in a depressed mood last time, it is estimated that he had already changed his mind at that time, and was even ready to launch a coup d'état by force.

"No, Li Shimin will not launch a coup d'état for the time being, but I'm afraid he already has this heart, just like the uncle said, he is ready for the worst, if Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng force him like this again, I'm afraid Li Shimin will really have no way to retreat, and then I'm afraid that the cruel conflict will be inevitable." Li Xiu said to himself again at this time, the current situation is not bad enough for Li Shimin to launch an armed coup, but he is already prepared, this is the most terrifying, because you don't know when he will launch it?

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, he himself understood that these were useless, and it was impossible for him to tell Li Yuan or Li Jiancheng, let alone tell Princess Pingyang, otherwise it would only make her more embarrassed, so this matter could only be held in his heart.

Seeing Li Shimin and others entering the restaurant with a smile, Li Xiu walked out from behind the stall, and then shook his head helplessly and wanted to leave, but at this moment, the stall owner of this small stall grabbed him and said: "This son, you have been hiding here for a long time, isn't it embarrassing?" ”

Looking at the treacherous face of this stall owner, Li Xiu was also a little unhappy, and immediately reprimanded with a straight face: "It's my freedom to buy or not, do you still want to buy and sell?" ”

"Hehe, the villain doesn't know what freedom is not free, but Childe hid with me for a long time just now, and kept staring at the people who entered the hotel just now, I think Childe definitely doesn't want those people to see, if you quarrel with the villain, maybe those people will see you?" This peddler is worthy of being a profiteer, and he caught Li Xiu's weakness at once.

"You...... You ......" Li Xiu couldn't help but want to scold when he heard this, but this guy was really right, he didn't want Li Shimin or Chai Shao to see him here, so in the end, he could only obediently take out the money to buy a monkey mask, even if it was to buy a toy for Qi Niang.

"Hehe, thank you son, come and buy it often in the future!" Seeing Li Xiu drop the copper coin, the peddler also handed the mask to Li Xiu with a smile on his face, which made him secretly curse the "profiteer", and then left angrily.

But after walking a few steps, Li Xiu was also amused by himself, just now he was still analyzing the possibility of Li Shimin's rebellion, and in a blink of an eye, he was pitted by a street vendor, this is really impermanent!

After leaving Dongshi, Li Xiu hired a carriage, then bought a piece of Hu cake and put mutton on it, sat on the car and ate while walking, and kept thinking about Li Shimin's affairs in his mind, Chai Shao is just an insignificant little person now, but behind him stands a Chai family who has a good relationship with the family, and now Chai Shao is falling to Li Shimin, does it also mean that those families have begun to turn to support Li Shimin?

"Impossible, the family was originally on Li Jiancheng's side, and now Li Jiancheng has an absolute advantage, it is impossible for the family to abandon him to support Li Shimin, the only possibility is that only Chai Shao fell to Li Shimin, and for Li Shimin, what is the use of Chai Shao?" Li Xiu continued to talk to himself, it is said that Chai Shao, who has no power and no position, is of no use at all.

"No, Chai Shao is still useful, if Li Shimin succeeds in launching a coup d'état, then the next step is to stabilize the situation in Datang, that is, to ensure that those families do not make trouble with him, and Chai Shao is the best person to persuade the family!" Li Xiu muttered to himself again, and at the same time showed a sudden expression on his face, he finally fully understood Li Shimin's plan.

"The only thing that can't be determined now is the degree of suppression of Li Shimin by Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, and how long Li Shimin will endure it, the history books say that the Xuanwumen Revolution was the ninth year of Wude, but I don't remember the specific time, and with my intervention, Li Shimin may also launch a coup d'état in advance or later, which is the most fatal!"

Li Xiu finally muttered to himself again, and at the same time showed a headache expression on his face, if he could determine the time for the coup d'état, he might be able to make some preparations in advance, at least rescue Li Chengdao, but now the time is uncertain, and there is no way to tell others, his own strength alone is simply too small!
