After Li Xuanba entered the palace, Yang Guang summoned Pei Yun, most people are relatively smart, and when they heard that Li Xuanba entered the palace alone, they chose to continue to keep quiet. There are also some people who are old and a little confused, overestimating Li Xuanba's courage, thinking that His Majesty already knows about the traitor, so they rashly entered the palace and participated in Pei Yun's book.

Nayan Su Wei is a veteran of the two dynasties, in the first few years after Yang Guang ascended the throne, has been deeply trusted by Yang Guang, although he was demoted several times, but in the end he was reinstated, and later he held several positions, and was appointed to open the palace with the three divisions, a time of power, no one compares, many officials are attached to him.

At that time, he and Zuo Yiwei's general Yu Wenshu, Huangmen squire Pei Ju, imperial historian Pei Yun, and internal history squire Yu Shiji participated in the government, and they were called "five nobles" at the time.

However, after Yang Guang returned to the Eastern Capital last year, he asked about the traitors in the world, and the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to speak, so Yang Guang asked one by one, and even Yuwen claimed that there were fewer and fewer traitors in the world, and he did not dare to tell the truth.

When Yang Guang asked Su Wei, Su Wu hesitated for a moment and replied, "I don't know how many traitors there are in the world, but I know that they are getting closer and closer. Under Yang Guang's careful questioning, Su Wei replied: "The thieves used to occupy Changbai Mountain, and now they are close to Xingyang and Bishui. Yang Guang heard this, although he didn't say anything, his face was extremely ugly.

Su Wei knew that he had offended Yang Guang, but for the sake of the government, he still did not flinch, and presented a "Book of Shang" to persuade Yang Guang, which made Yang Guang even more unhappy. But Yang Guang understood that Su Wei was loyal to him and did not alienate him.

It wasn't until later that Yang Guang asked Su Wei about the conquest of Goguryeo, and Su Wei said that he would pardon the thieves and let them go to the crusade against Goguryeo.

Su Wei made a setback, but Yang Guang ignored it, but eliminated the suspicion of Pei Yun in his heart.

A few days later, Pei Yun took advantage of His Majesty's dislike of Su Wei and asked the white-clothed Zhang Xing to tell Su Wei that when he presided over the election in Gaoyang in the past, he had given others official positions indiscriminately, and said that he was afraid of the Turks and asked to return to Beijing.

Yang Guang ordered an investigation into these things, and Pei Yun made an obstacle from it, which naturally confirmed Su Wei's crimes, Yang Guang did not give Su Wei any chance to explain, and directly removed Su Wei from all official positions, making him an ordinary person.

When Li Xuanba heard this, he only felt very cold in his heart, he knew more about Yang Guang, and at the same time, he also realized Pei Yun's status in Yang Guang's heart.

It took Pei Yun a few days to let Su Wei be dismissed from his official position, and this incident also made the other courtiers become frightened, except for Pei Yun who took the initiative to mention the matter of the traitor, no one dared to play it anymore.

But the matter is far from over, the officials who were attached to Su Wei in the past have all been seized by Pei Yun, and there are only a handful of people who can stay in the court in the end.

In the Tang Mansion, Li Xuanba studied with Wei Zheng for more than half a month, and had a general understanding of the imperial court system and the counties in the world. Hearing that the ministers of the court were dismissed one by one, Li Xuanba sighed and said: "I am the one who made the situation the way it is now, but I didn't expect that not only did I not help Your Majesty, but I harmed many loyal ministers." ”

Wei Zheng comforted a few words and said: "Master Su is conscientious, and it is indeed a bit chilling to end up like this. However, His Majesty still remembered some old feelings, and did not hurt Master Su, and the son did not have to blame himself too much. ”

After experiencing Su Wei, Wei Zheng's gratitude to Li Xuanba deepened. If Li Xuanba didn't stop him at the beginning, but took him into the palace to face the saint, I am afraid that he would have turned into a wisp of revenant.

"In the past, many people said that His Majesty doted on me, but at that time I knew nothing and did not believe it. Later, many people said that His Majesty had a bad temper, and I didn't believe it, but now I believe everything, but unfortunately it's a little late. Li Xuanba said lonely: "Your Majesty hasn't summoned me for so long, you must have doubts about me in your heart." ”

Yang Guang had planned to let Li Xuanba go to the military middle school to do something, but after Su Wei's accident, Yang Guang never mentioned it again, and he didn't even summon him.

"With Queen Xiao and the princess here, there is no need for the prince to worry." Wei Zheng said: "It's just that more than a month ago, Zhai Songbai raised troops in Lingqiu, with tens of thousands of people, invading nearby counties, and has gradually formed a force. No one dares to tell Your Majesty about such a big matter. ”

"Now that people are panicking, who dares to talk more?" Li Xuanba replied casually: "I heard that a few days ago, Zhenla Kingdom sent some local products to Your Majesty, I am afraid that it will make Your Majesty more sure that the world is peaceful." ”

"General Yuwen was ordered to exterminate the Liukou, and the Duke of Jibei and the army of tigers and wolves have been away from Beijing for more than two months, hasn't Your Majesty discovered the problem yet?" Wei Zheng said a little angrily: "If those rebel thieves and bandits are really as easy to exterminate as Master Pei said, the two adults should have returned to Luoyang and accepted Your Majesty's reward." ”

"Chengdu is a smart person, he knows that there are some things that he can't say to His Majesty, so he can only hide it from His Majesty, and he did it secretly, but it was hard for him." Li Xuanba thought of Yuwen Chengdu, admired it, paused, and continued: "The Duke of Jibei is even more loyal to His Majesty, after he is punished by His Majesty, he will inevitably realize that he cannot persuade His Majesty, and he can only share his worries for His Majesty in private. ”

"Childe has been studying for more than half a month, and he already has the style of a strategist." Wei Zheng saw Li Xuanba casually say the intentions of Yuwen Chengdu and Fan Zigai, and praised: "If you let the people of the world know that the first warrior of the Great Sui has become a wise man with a deep understanding of the city, I am afraid that I will be very surprised." ”

"It's all taught by the gentleman." Li Xuanba smiled and said, "It's a pity to know this, what's the use of the current situation?" As Mr. said at the beginning, if Your Majesty does not reflect on itself, we will not be able to do anything. ”

The two talked for a while, and Wei Zheng went back to his room to rest, Li Xuanba thought hard for a long time, and his heart was still depressed.

On the second day, a good thing finally happened, Li Xing took Wei Zheng's family to Luoyang.

As soon as he returned to the house, Li Xing didn't have time to tell Li Xuanba, so he asked his subordinates to hurry up and prepare some meals, and when Li Xuanba heard the news and rushed to the side hall, he saw a group of people like hungry wolves, sweeping away the food on the table, looking at their expressions, it seemed that they were not full.

As soon as Li Xuanba entered the side hall, Li Xing got up and saluted, and the rest of the people learned of Li Xuanba's identity, and they also hurriedly stood up and saluted, Li Xuanba returned a salute to Wei Zheng's wife and asked everyone to sit down.

"Li Xing, didn't I ask you to take good care of Mrs. Wei? How could you be hungry like this? Li Xuanba reproached.

Li Xing's face was bitter, and Mrs. Wei replied first: "It's all bad people's women, please don't blame Mr. Li." ”

"Childe, that's the case, on the way back to Luoyang, the villain escorted Mrs. Wei back to Luoyang, and met many hungry people, Mrs. Wei was kind-hearted and distributed all the dry food to the hungry people." Li Xing explained: "Even the silver was all divided. ”

When Li Xuanba heard this, he naturally had nothing to say, and he cared a few more words, Wei Zheng and Li Gou happened to go out to find out the news, so they could only let Li Xing take Wei Zheng's family to rest first.

"Thank you." After Li Xing and the others left, Li Xuanba took out some broken silver and said to more than a dozen men in the side hall: "Presumably you haven't eaten enough just now, you can take this silver and find a place to drink some wine, there is nothing for you in the house today, you have a good rest." ”

A big man stepped forward to take the silver, smiled innocently, and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhongyongwei, brothers are welcome." After speaking, everyone arched their hands at Li Xuanba and left the house together.

After Li Xuanba encountered the assassins, Yang Guang sent thirty forbidden troops to protect the Tang Mansion, and these people gradually became the soldiers of the Tang Mansion. At first, these people were still smiling and kept a straight face every day, but after a few days, they found that Li Xuanba was different from ordinary adults, and they were no longer so particular.

Of course, Li Xuanba is very good to them, and they are very grateful in their hearts, but they are not good at expressing themselves.
