Chapter 61: The Stone on the Embankment
Although it has been a day since the Xuanwumen Incident, everyone in Chang'an City may have known about it, but there is no news about the isolated small villages outside the city.
Therefore, when Chen Yu said it, Chen and Xu Er were both surprised.
"The crown prince and the king of Qi rebelled?"
Xu Er snorted, obviously not convinced.
Chen Yu knew it: "That's what the court said, and that's what I think is the case." ”
"Yes."
Second Uncle Xu understands and knows the truth of the prince and the loser, where is the definite number of royal changes? Although I don't know the inside story, I can roughly imagine it.
It's just that he didn't think that this matter had much to do with Chen Yu, let alone the role his nephew played in it.
But......
He vaguely felt that Chen Yu was not completely telling the truth, and it seemed that there was something hidden from them.
Chen's surprise was because she had entered Chang'an and entrusted someone, and she took it for granted that her son was saved by that person, who would have thought that it would be such a result.
"That's right..."
Chen Yu obviously noticed that his mother's reaction was a little strange, but he couldn't say anything specific.
He didn't know that his mother had entered Chang'an City, blocked the road to visit Chen Shuda, and didn't even know that Sun Fujia was in charge of trying the case, which was also Chen Shuda's proposal.
Of course, he didn't say a word about his role in the Xuanwumen Change, so as not to worry his mother.
"Xiao Yu'er, after this catastrophe, I will try to have as little contact with the royal family and people in the government as possible in the future."
Mother brought up the old story again, Chen Yu can also be regarded as a trench, grow wise, and nod obediently.
It may not be possible to get his wish, but it is difficult to say, after all, Li Shimin is staring at himself? There are some things that as long as you have been involved, it is difficult to get out of them.
After eating, Chen Yu was very sleepy.
When I got home, I didn't have the depression and vigilance in the Criminal Department and the Qin Palace, and it was rare to relax, so I fell asleep on the kang.
"Madam, it seems that Xiao Yu'er has something to hide from us?" Xu Er expressed his suspicions.
"I feel the same way."
Chen nodded: "This kid is really not worry-free, but fortunately, there is no danger this time." ”
"Madam, in fact, don't worry too much, this little fish may be a blessing in disguise."
"King Qin has become the crown prince, and Xiaoyu'er has some dealings with them, but what can it do?"
Chen shook his head and said, "I'm still worried about ......."
"Madam, the world has changed from Sui to Tang, the emperor has changed from Yang Guang to Li Yuan, and it may soon be replaced by Li Shimin, and those old things may no longer matter."
Xu Er whispered: "Madam, you have also seen that Xiao Yu'er is becoming more and more promising now, and maybe he will be able to revive the door in the future to comfort Ah Lang's spirit in the sky." ”
Chen muttered: "It's a change of dynasty, but... The emperor's family is all virtuous, if Li Shimin knows...... Don't you really care? ”
"Mrs. Ke had already seen Chen Gong...... the day before yesterday"
"The matter is urgent, and I have to ask my uncle for help."
Chen shook his head and said, "Uncle is a cautious person, he has treated me very well since I was a child, and even if I haven't seen him for many years, he still does not hesitate to agree to help.
Naturally, it won't harm me, and it won't harm the little fish. ”
"Chen Gong wasn't curious about Xiao Yu'er's father?"
"This ......"
Xu Er's rhetorical question suddenly made Chen a little flustered, and his expression gradually became solemn.
"Uncle didn't ask, and I didn't say..."
"Chen Gong didn't ask, but maybe he could guess, after all, there were so many people in Jiankang back then......"
Xu Erdao: "Chen Gong is an understanding person, and he won't say much if he thinks about it, after all, Xiaoyu'er is ...... now The surname is Chen. ”
"The surname Chen doesn't matter, Li Tang treats the Chen family well in order to stabilize Jiangnan, and his uncle can serve in the official residence is proof of this."
Chen said: "But Chen and his father ...... I'm worried that people with ulterior motives will make a fuss and harm Xiaoyuer. ”
Madame's worries are not unreasonable, but there is a way that is a blessing rather than a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.
It is better to let the little fish toss, accumulate the strength of the family business, and even if there are accidents, you can also protect yourself. ”
"It's still a long-term matter for me to think about."
Chen pondered for a moment and walked away quickly.
Xu Er walked out of the door, looked at the towering Qinling Mountains in the distance, and looked back at Chang'an City, which had just undergone great changes, but was as magnificent as ever, with a leisurely gaze.
On the hill on the bank of the Wei River, the boy in brocade stood with his hands in his hands, and he also had the same expression.
"Childe, it has been confirmed that it was this kid who went to check the Yin family with Gao Shilian. According to the news from the Criminal Department, he was taken away from prison by Gao Shilian on the eve of the Xuanwumen Incident. ”
"It's a bit interesting, it seems that he was really the right choice when he was chosen as a chess eye." The brocade-clothed boy sneered, as if he was self-deprecating.
"Chongxu's side has been arranged, and no one will find him again, don't worry."
"Well, all the people and lines related to it are cut off."
"Yes, the subordinates have already arranged it, and the son can rest assured."
The boy in brocade said leisurely: "Chang'an is dormant here, although he didn't catch the handle, but after all, it was exposed, and Li Shimin must have been vigilant." ”
"Childe, that's it...... Isn't it a failure? ”
"It's come to this, sort of it, Chang'an can't count on it. After thousands of calculations, I didn't expect Li Shimin to be so ruthless and fast, and all the arrangements were too late to launch. ”
The boy in brocade sighed abruptly: "For today's plan, I can only find a way outside, Li Jiancheng is dead, but he has a lot of remnants." ”
But Li Shimin pardoned Wei Zheng, Wang Qi, Wei Ting and others, and also issued an edict that the former ministers of the East Palace would not be blamed for their past. When Xue Wanche, Feng Li and others heard the news, they had already come out of Zhongnan Mountain and returned to Chang'an City. ”
"Li Shimin is really good at buying people's hearts."
"That's right! Xue Wanche was the first fierce general under Li Jiancheng in the past, and on the day of the palace change, he almost broke through the Qin Palace, killing Li Shimin's wife and children.
The result is good, Li Shimin not only did not blame, but the news came out today, and he also wanted to be a matchmaker to marry Princess Danyang to him. Xue Wanche is also a soft bone, so he is grateful and has already served the new master. ”
"The children of the family, expect them to be absolutely loyal?"
The brocade boy snorted coldly: "At the beginning, they were like this to their grandfather and father, and it was a common joke to see the wind and rudder. ”
"Yes, even Wei Zheng obeyed, respected Li Shimin's will, and went to Xuanfu Shandong. He is Li Jiancheng's cronies, and this time, those old departments of the East Palace in Shandong may also be scattered. ”
"Those people in Shandong are all involved in the five surnames and seven families, who do you expect them to be absolutely loyal to?"
The boy in brocade said coldly: "Hebei, let's go to Hebei." ”
"Childe is talking about Luo Yi, Li Yuan?"
"Yes, they are Li Jiancheng's most loyal subordinates, and they are gearing up to come here at this moment, thinking about how to avenge their crown prince!"
"But with the soldiers and horses in the hands of Luo Yi and Li Yuan, can they compete with Chang'an? Li Shimin can fight well, and his fierce generals are like clouds, and the world knows it.
Moreover, Luo Yi and Li Ying may not be willing to abandon their families and careers and make a desperate bet. ”
"They alone definitely can't, and I don't expect them to be able to kill you and Li Shimin."
The boy in brocade looked at the embankment of the Weihe River in the distance and said with a smile: "They are like the big stones that strengthen the embankment, moving slightly, revealing a gap, as long as the water comes upstream, the torrent can roll." ”
