When Yang Guang was anxious to find clues to investigate the case, Li Jing, who was assigned by him to go north with Fonu to find and persuade Zhang Zhongjian to surrender, returned to Chang'an, and reported to Yang Guang that the war in the north had resumed, and the Sui army was fighting fiercely with the Western Turkic Nili Khan under the city of Baidaozhou, and it was difficult for him and Fonu to go to Dujin Mountain to find Zhang Zhongjian, so he had no choice but to temporarily send Fonu back to Shaolin Temple, and he himself returned to Chang'an to report to Yang Guang.

Yang Guang originally thought that as long as the imperial court sent troops, he would be able to recover Baidaozhou within ten months, but now he heard Li Jingyu report that Baidaozhou was fighting so fiercely, and couldn't help but ask him: "How many soldiers and horses did Nili bring to capture Baidaozhou, and which general did Gao Servant send to lead the army to recover Baidaozhou?" ”

"Lord Yu, when the last general was at Yanmen Pass, I heard Gao Servant say that after the Suspicious Ni Rank Department captured Baidao Prefecture, it received the secret support and assistance of the Eastern Turks, and a considerable number of defenders in the city were actually under the command of Dulan. Otherwise, with the ability of the Taiping Gongshi to lead 20,000 elite soldiers out of the customs, there is no possibility of a stalemate with the enemy. Li Jing replied truthfully.

"Shi Wansui is one of the best generals in the army, entrusting him to lead the army, and he can't recover Baidaozhou in one go, the guess of Gao Servant shooting should not be bad, it must be that the Eastern Turks secretly sent troops to reinforce the Nili Division." Yang Guang said with a deep groan, and then asked Li Jingdao, "Before you and the Buddha returned from the north and south, did you see General Changsun Sheng?" ”

Li Jing clenched his fists and replied: "It was General Changsun who heard that the last general and Master Fonu were going to Dujin Mountain to find and persuade Zhang Zhongjian, so he persuaded the last general to return to Chang'an." ”

Yang Guang asked in surprise, "Oh? Why is that? ”

"General Changsun said that he sent another envoy to the Turks this time to accomplish a major task at the behest of the emperor, so as to eliminate the threat from the north for a long time, and did not want to be interfered with by other things......"

"I see. Li Jing, since you have returned to Chang'an, for the time being, follow Pei Duji's room to investigate the case. Yang Guang sent Li Jing to report to Pei Yun, and after receiving the envoy, he sat alone in the main hall of the Jin Palace, bowing his head and thinking: After the imperial meeting more than ten days ago, he only cared about investigating the case, but he didn't expect to ask Changsun Sheng face to face, what kind of method he wanted to use to get rid of Yuwen Prajna when he was Turkic again this time.

"Lord Wang, there is Zuoxun Guard Outside the gate of the mansion, General Yuwen Shu asks to see you." I don't know when, Guo Yan walked into the hall to report to him.

"Call him in." Yang Guang had never met Yuwenshu since he returned to the court, and now when he heard that he came to see him, he ordered Guo Yan to take him into the mansion to meet.

After a while, Yuwenshu walked into the main hall under the guidance of Guo Yan, and saluted Yang Guang with his fists: "The last general Yuwenshu will see the prince." ”

"Bertong, you and I haven't seen each other for half a year since we parted from Jiangnan. You have been fine when you return to the palace to serve? Yang Guangyin heard Zhang Heng inform him that Yuwenshu asked him to return to Beijing, in fact, in order to gather internal aid for him in the court, so as to help him ascend to the throne in the future, although he did not agree with his approach in his heart, but emotionally he was unconsciously much closer to Yuwenshu, smiled and asked Yuwenshu to sit down and greet him.

"Lord Lao remembers, the last general was ordered to supervise the construction of Renshou Palace to Qizhou a year ago, and he only returned to Beijing yesterday to resume his life, and he was late to see the prince, and please don't blame the prince." Yu Wenshu hurriedly got up and replied.

"Berton, since you have been appointed to the guard, you must be careful to handle every mission given to you by your father, and as for this king, you don't need to bother anymore." Yang Guang politely admonished Yuwen Shu.

"Yes, yes. However, the last general came today, in addition to greeting the prince, I also want to ask the prince to go back to the palace with me to see someone. Yu Wenshu said tentatively while agreeing.

"Who?"

"This ...... Please forgive me for the inconvenience of explaining it to the prince. When the prince returns to the palace with the end, he will know. Yuwen Shu said boldly.

"Bertong, since you only returned to Chang'an yesterday, I don't blame you. At present, the king is being ordered to investigate the case, and the queen mother is infected with illness and is still too late to fulfill her filial piety in front of the bed, where is the kung fu to go back to the palace with you to see someone? If you have something to say, it's okay to step down. Yang Guang lowered his face and said in an accentuated tone.

"Yes...... The last general has agreed to ask the prince to return to the palace to see her...... The prince, it was Mrs. Xuanhua's wife who brought a letter to the prince, saying that she had something to thank the prince in person. Yu Wenshu hesitated, but decided to tell Yang Guangyu the truth in advance.

I don't know why, I heard that it was Xuanhua's wife Chen Weiyang asked Yu Wenshu to invite him back to the palace to meet, Yang Guangben's displeased mood suddenly changed, because he thought that Chen Weiyang probably heard the news that he strongly opposed the killing of his brother Chen Shubao at the imperial meeting, so he wanted to express his gratitude to himself in person, so he said to Yu Wenshu: "You go back to the palace and tell Mrs. Xuanhua, if you want to thank your father, you don't need to thank this king." ”

"Yes...... Mrs. Xuanhua said to the last general that she must see the face of the prince today, otherwise she will ......," Yu Wenshu said with great embarrassment.

When Yang Guang heard this, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart, and even he himself was surprised, so he stood up and promised Yuwen to say: "Well, I haven't returned to the palace for a few days to ask the queen mother for peace, so let's go back to the palace with you, so as not to embarrass you." ”

Yuwen Shu was overjoyed, hurriedly stepped forward, led Yang Guang in front of the head, and led Yang Guang back to the palace to see Xuanhua's wife Chen Weiyang.

When he entered the palace and followed Yu Wenshu to the Lanzhi Palace where he and Xiao E lived, Yang Guang knew that Xuanhua's wife Chen Weiyang had arrived at the Lanzhi Palace to sit and wait for him since this morning, and so far, it had been nearly three hours.

Yang Guang walked into the main hall of Lanzhi Palace, and moved forward according to the etiquette of the younger generation seeing the elders, and said to Chen Weiyang: "I don't know that Mrs. has been waiting in Lanzhi Palace for a long time, Yang Guang is late, please don't blame Mrs." ”

Chen Weiyang wore a lilac dress today, got up with a smile like a flower and saluted: "I hope I came in a hurry, and I don't blame the prince." Please be seated. ”

Yang Guang excused himself and did not sit down, but ordered someone to take Chen Changle back to Chang'an and return the pair of concentric knots to Chen Weiyang, held them with both hands, and said: "This pair of concentric knots is tied to Changle to bring back to me, and if it is returned to Mrs., please accept it from Mrs." ”

Chen Weiyang did not order someone to take the pair of concentric knots from Yang Guang's hands, only looked at the furnishings in the hall, and said to Yang Guang with a smile: "I heard that the princess of Jin was born in the Houliang royal family, and now I see the furnishings in this Lanzhi palace, which are elegant and simple, revealing nobility and extraordinary, and it is really different from other palaces, and the king of Jin is so blessed." ”
