The next morning, the spy who monitored Li Yuan's official residence in Chang'an found that the people in Li Fuzhong had not come out to open the door for a long time, extinguished the lantern on the door, felt strange in his heart, couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, stepped forward and pushed it, and found that the door was hidden and the courtyard was empty.

"Not good! Hurry back and report to your lordship. "Yang Yu heard that all the family members of Li Yuan's mansion were missing, and only Mrs. Dou's body remained. I was very panicked.

"What to do! Now that we have no hostages in our hands, and we have dug up Li Yuan's ancestral grave, if he rebels at that time, we will have no chance of winning! "Because the Yin Shishi inhaled the poisonous smoke emitted by the snake, he was still cultivating at home, and he did not go to the court, Jingzhao Yin Qu Tugai wanted Yang Yu to persuade:

"Jianguo, Li Yuan did not rebel originally, we have no evidence, just relying on a few gossips and the so-called feng shui dragon vein theory to dig his ancestral grave, it is already unkind, if you completely turn your face with him because of the escape of his family, I am afraid it will make the situation even more complicated and unfavorable! Moreover, Mrs. Dou was born in the Dou family in Longxi, although there are no Beijing officials surnamed Dou in Chang'an, but in the local area, there are many Dou families. Yang Yu originally heard Qu Tugai say that he wanted to reprimand Qu Tugai for digging people's ancestral graves because of gossip, but he thought that his personality was like this, straight to the head, and he now had to rely on his brother Qu Tutong, so he held back the anger in his heart, but when he heard it, his anger turned into nothing.

"What should I do with Aiqing?"

"The minister thinks that we should do two things now, first, decorate Mrs. Dou's body and send it to Taiyuan, and bury Li Yuan well. In this way, on the one hand, it appeased Li Yuan, and also appeased the Dou family. Qu Tugai looked at Yang Yu's face, and Yang Yu gently encouraged him to continue.

"Second, Tongguan and Huoyi are the main roads leading to Chang'an, and they must be guarded by generals. Block these two passages from Hedong to Luoyang. Pedestrians and vendors are not allowed to pass. ”

"Hmmm! Aiqing may have a suitable candidate. When Qu Tutong heard this, he immediately replied:

"Tell the prison country, and the minister recommends two people, but they can be this important task."

"Speak!"

"One is the veteran Song Laosheng, he was originally born as the emperor's guard, followed the saint for many years, and was loyal to my Great Sui, so he can be sent out of Huoyi."

"Quasi-play!"

"The second candidate is the last general, and the last general is willing to mention that he has been guarding Tongguan with a strong force to relieve the worries of the prison country." Yang Yu thought about it:

"General Qu Tu, if you go to Tongguan, King Gu will be absolutely assured, it's just the defense 。。。。。。。 in the Chang'an area." Before Yang Yu finished speaking, Qu Tutong preemptively said:

"Prison Country! Weichen thinks that Chang'an is indeed important, but if Tongguan is not guarded, let the enemy drive straight in, Chang'an will be a lonely city at that time, and my younger brother Qu Tugai is only a civil official, not as good as Weichen on the battlefield for the rest of his life, but he is also skilled in bows and horses since he was a child, and it is not a problem to guard Chang'an City, and Weichen went to see General Yin a few days ago, observing his complexion, I believe that he will be able to take over the defense in a few days. Your Highness, don't worry. Yang Yu saw Qu Tutong's confident appearance, and he had no choice but to obey his arrangement. After both Song Laosheng and Qu Tutong's troops were stationed in Huoyi and Tongguan, Yang Yu sent a special envoy to escort Madame Dou's body back to Taiyuan.

After Chai Jie returned to Taiyuan, he told Li Yuan about the scene when Mrs. Dou died, and also sent Mrs. Dou's heart to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan cried loudly after seeing the letter. Li Yuanba and Li Yuanji couldn't control their emotions, and knelt in front of Li Yuan in unison:

"Father, now this court is like a tiger and wolf, we are not dead or dead. Why don't you take us back! ”

"Shut up, how do I teach you on weekdays, even if you say such a big rebellious thing, don't get out of here." Li Yuan is domineering.

"Father, this skin of mine was given by my mother, you can not avenge your mother, anyway, isn't there such a saying among the people. Call your wife like clothes, you dislike your mother's old clothes, I don't dislike it, I went to Chang'an to cut off the heads of Yang Yu and the Yin Shishi, and sacrificed my mother's spirit in the sky. With that, he was about to go out.

"Bastard, I cut you unfilial son." Li Yuan was furious when he heard Li Yuanba's words, and he drew his sword and was about to slash at Li Yuanba. Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin hurriedly stopped Li Yuan. Li Jiancheng shouted at Li Yuanji:

"Yuanji, don't hurry up and pull your third brother away." Li Yuanba was pulled out of the room by Li Yuanji and several personal guards, and while being pulled by them, he shouted:

"Big brother, second brother, don't stop my father, he gave me this life, and I will give it back to him. Don't pull me. ”

"Okay, third brother, let's go quickly! Don't make your father angry. Li Yuanji said, and the guards desperately pulled Li Yuanba out. After Li Yuanba left, Li Yuan let go of his hand, and the sword was inserted on the floor. Crying bitterly:

"Don't push me anymore." Four days later, the vehicle transporting Mrs. Dou's body and coffin was taken to Hedong by Yang Yu's envoy, Li Yuan deliberately pretended not to know about Mrs. Dou's death, and dressed up in official clothes to receive the envoy, afraid that Li Yuanba would not be able to control his emotions, Li Yuan ordered Li Yuanba to be locked up, and let Li Yuanji look at him:

"Ahh What did you say? You say my lady, she's dead. This can't be, this can't be! You're lying to me. You're lying to me. Li Yuan grabbed the collar of the envoy and said angrily:

"The prince of the country is angry, the lady suddenly fell seriously ill five days ago, and the prison country also sent the imperial doctor to visit with the medicine treasured in the palace, but he was unable to return to the sky, and he hoped that the prince of the country would mourn."

"Thank you for the beauty of the prison country, I don't know what happened to my daughter and son-in-law."

"Don't hide it from Guogong, this evil disease is menacing, and Ling Yan and his son-in-law are also seriously ill, but please rest assured that Guogong's condition has begun to improve, but they still need to recuperate, so they have not come."

"Oh! That's it! Li Yuan came to the coffin.

"Come on, open the coffin, I want to see her one last time." The person next to him looked at the envoy, who nodded, and the coffin was opened. Although the corpse had been chilled by ice cubes, it was already a little corpse-stinking, but Mrs. Dou's serene face could still be seen. Li Yuan gently stroked Mrs. Dou's face with his hand:

"Don't worry, I'm in charge of things here. You can go with peace of mind! Cover the coffin! After the coffin was re-covered, Li Yuan fainted next to the coffin.
