Li Yanqing is coming back!

Five years ago, the king of Henan was transferred to Lingnan, and in the eyes of many people, it was like being sent into exile. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoNo one expected that after just five years, he would return to Chang'an...... In the past five years, although Li Yanqing is far away from the ends of the earth, the news about him has never stopped.

From the very beginning of seizing Yongzhou, pacifying Ronggui, to occupying Jiaozhou, and even detaining Qiu Xinggong, the confidant of the King of Qin, in Lingnan, he has not been released back yet, and Li Shimin has played several times in the past few years, asking Li Yuan to punish Li Yanqing, but Li Yuan has never replied positively.

Later, Li Yanqing developed Jiaozhou and thoroughly rectified the western part of Guangdong, and his ability to govern the local area was also constantly highlighted.

The annexation of the bureaucratic sub-department, the tribes in the south of Caiyun were taken down one by one, so that the area of the entire Ronggui region expanded nearly twice, and it was also successfully connected with Bashu, forming a situation of unification in the southwest, and effectively forming a control over the Tubo people...... In short, in the past five years, Li Yanqing has once again created countless admirable achievements.

Although many people were dissatisfied with Li Yanqing's actions in the Annam Governor's Office, thinking that some of his methods were not in line with the way of a saint...... But no one can deny that under the condition that Chang'an could not give any help, Li Yanqing brought all the southeast, southwest, and southwest into control, which is definitely a miracle. Now, the king of Henan, who has repeatedly created miracles, is going back to Chang'an!

Outside Longqing Fang, a ride is unbeatable.

The eldest grandson Wuji urged the horse to stop in front of the Henan palace like a gallop, kicked off the horse, and rushed into the palace gate quickly.

"Mademoiselles?"

Liang Laoshi hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "The eldest lady and the younger lady are receiving guests in the back garden, and after the arrival of Gongzi Yan, they will immediately go to discuss." ”

"Guest?"

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but be stunned, a little dazed.

At this time, what kind of guests will come?

Could it be that it was a messenger sent by Yangzhen?

Come to think of it, you shouldn't be wrong with this answer. Li Yanqing's return to Chang'an was a matter that had been decided a long time ago. Now that he is coming back, he will naturally make appropriate arrangements accordingly. As for how he will arrange it? The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't think clearly, but there must be new instructions.

As Liang Laoshi came all the way to the garden, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly found that there were many unfamiliar faces in the garden.

And the further you go inside, the more heavily guarded you become. When he arrived at the pavilion by the Longqing Pond, the eldest grandson Wuji unexpectedly saw that in the pavilion, a familiar figure ......, "Xiaohegong, when did you come?" ”

In the pavilion, an old man in white stood up and bowed slightly.

Pei Cuiyun and Eldest Sun Wuji sat aside, and when they saw Eldest Sun Wuji coming, they also got up one after another.

"If you go back to your son, you will arrive at noon."

Chai Xiaohe replied with a smile: "The two ladies originally planned to inform the son immediately, but they were stopped by the old man...... At this time, every move in the palace will be noticed. Boldly contacting the child, it is easy to expose flaws. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji Pingli did not live in the palace, but edited the "Tang Law Discussion" in the Chongwen Pavilion.

"Brother, Xiaohe Gong came here on the orders of the prince, and I have something important to discuss with you."

Eldest Sun Wujian and Pei Cuiyun glanced at each other, first said a word to Eldest Sun Wuji, and then said a little blessing to Chai Xiaohe, "Xiao Hegong, you guys are here to discuss things, let's go see if the wine and food are ready...... Also, what you said, we'll be ready. As soon as filial piety and the prince are ready to launch, the whole palace will definitely do their best to cooperate. ”

"So, hard work two ladies."

Now Pei Cuiyun and the eldest grandson Wujian also have a fate.

In the fifth year of Wude, because Li Yanqing completely pacified Lingnan, Pei Cuiyun was named Mrs. Yuguo, and the eldest grandson Wujian was named Mrs. Yuguo, which can be described as a good fate. However, in the mansion, the two of them were as usual and did not show any arrogance.

Whether it is Pei Cuiyun or the eldest grandson, he is not the kind of surname that is very arrogant.

Pei Cuiyun is good at poetry, books, etiquette and music, and the eldest grandson Wujian is a natural coquettish surname, influenced by his mother, Mrs. Gao, and treats people very kindly.

After Wuji and Chai Xiaohe bowed down to see off the two daughters, they sat down separately.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji also figured out that the guards in the mansion were all Qilin guards brought by Chai Xiaohe secretly, so he was even more excited.

He vaguely knew that Li Yanqing had a powerful and unknown force in his hands.

And this force is controlled by Li Yanqing, and it has almost never shown any strength...... Now, Chai Xiaohe has appeared with this force, which is also a signal that Li Yanqing is ready to act, how can the eldest grandson Wuji not be excited?

For several years, he has been silently waiting, just for the arrival of this day.

Now, the day is coming...... "Lord, when are you going to leave?" ”

Chai Xiaohe smiled slightly, looked at the surrounding environment, and said softly: "The prince has already left, but he still claims to the outside world that he is still staying in Jiaozhou." ”

"Huh?"

"When the prince leaves Lingnan secretly this time, he will first go to Hongzhou and Jiangdong, and then go to Jingzhou to join the prince of Daoxuan.

Until then, his whereabouts will not be made public! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but exclaim: "But Qin Cha ......"

Before the words could be spoken, he seemed to react and couldn't help but nod slightly.

The eldest grandson, Shunde...... That's the family. Li Yanqing's future will determine the future of the eldest grandson's family and Perak Hall, and the eldest grandson Shunde will naturally know how to choose. And Pei Shiju, that is a scheming guy. There is an inextricable relationship between the four surnames of Hedong and Li Yanqing. Let's not talk about Pei Cuiyun, Pei Shuying, Pei Shiju's daughter back then, treated Li Yanqing as her own and loved her very much...... In the current situation of the Pei family's relative decline, Pei Shiju naturally knows how to make trade-offs.

As for those in the Qincha team, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't care too much.

Since Pei Shiju and the eldest grandson Shunde are determined to cooperate with Li Yanqing, how can those eyes and ears in the Qincha team make waves?

I'm afraid that at this time, the people in the Qincha team have been replaced by Li Yanqing's people...... Chai Xiaohe smiled and didn't explain anything more.

He took out a bamboo tube sealed with gold paint from his bosom and handed it to his eldest grandson, Wuji.

"The prince instructed that the prince only needs to act according to the plan at that time, and the old man will order Qilin Wei to fully cooperate at that time.

The prince also said that the more this time, the more cautious you must be...... Now that Chang'an is about to rain, everyone is gearing up, so you must not be careless. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned and opened the letterbox.

He read the contents very carefully, and couldn't help but shudder and gasp.

"Filial piety and Gong, will this be the case?"

"The prince has always been cautious, since he has arranged it like this, you and I only need to act according to the plan...... Calculate the time, I'm afraid it's this year! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji pondered for a moment, and threw the letter in his hand into the brazier.

The letter suddenly turned into a ball of fire, Wuji looked at the fireball, and couldn't help but feel a little afraid in his heart: If this is the case, you can be called a true person, it is a last resort......―――――――――――――――――――――― September of the eighth year of Wude, the autumn wind is bleak, and everything withers.

Li Shimin came out of the princess's mansion with a sad face, and his eyes were a little red.

Princess Pingyang's condition is as serious as it gets, and she is about to die...... Even the famous doctors of the Tai Hospital failed to give any answer. And Sun Simiao, the only holy child who could cure Princess Pingyang, left Emei Mountain when he was in the seventh year of Wude, and his whereabouts are unknown...... According to the monks on Emei Mountain, Sun Simiao left with a man named Zhao Xiqiao, preparing to travel all over the famous mountains and rivers, looking for those immortals outside the world, and seeking the way to become immortals. Where they went, but no one knew...... Li Shimin could feel that his sister's attitude towards him seemed to be a little cold.

At least not as cordial as before, and even in words, there is a little rejection.

I am afraid that the reason for this is inextricably related to last year's Yang Wengan Rebellion. Although it was claimed to the outside world, Yang Wengan's rebellion had no one in the crown prince and the clan. But with the ability of Princess Pingyang, how could she not speculate that this matter is related to Li Shimin?

Li Jiancheng is the elder brother, and Li Shimin is the brother.

is from the same mother, even if Princess Pingyang likes Li Shimin more, but for this kind of thing in the same room, I am afraid that there is no choice.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, one is the elder brother and the other is the younger brother, so where should Princess Pingyang choose?

In addition, Chai Shao has been stationed abroad and refuses to return to Chang'an, and Mao Xiaoba, Princess Pingyang's most confidant, was exposed to the scandal of killing his father, fled Chang'an, and his whereabouts are unknown. This makes Princess Pingyang, how can she not feel depressed in her heart, and it is difficult to get relief.

Mao Xiaoba's incident happened in the sixth year of Wude.

In fact, it was also by chance that Mao Xiaonian met her eldest sister in Xishi.

At that time, Mao Xiaonian's eldest sister was also a noble person. Her husband He Panren, who was promoted because of the incident from Princess Pingyang, is now the governor of Lanzhou, and has a lot of status in Chang'an City. It's just that the eldest sister didn't expect that Mao Xiaonian would actually become the concubine of the king of Henan. In terms of identity, he may not be able to compare with himself, but in terms of status, there is a difference of 108,000 miles.

When the eldest sister and Mao Xiaonian met, it was naturally a cry.

Inadvertently, the two talked about the past, and the eldest sister knew all the things that happened at home after she went to the Western Regions with He Panren.

Especially when she learned the news that her parents died at the hands of Mao Xiaoba, she couldn't help but be furious.

The two sisters went to the princess's mansion desperately, and Princess Pingyang learned all the reasons why Mao Xiaoba did back then.

Originally, the two Mao Xiaonian sisters wanted to kill Mao Xiaoba.

But I don't want Mao Xiaoba to be in Chang'an...... When Xiaoba got the news, he did not hesitate to flee to Mobei with a batch of escorted goods from the Princess's Mansion, and then his whereabouts were unknown. also because of this incident, Princess Pingyang's reputation was greatly damaged.

In the letter, Chai Shao even used a mocking tone to accuse Princess Pingyang of having no eyes.

was so angry that Princess Pingyang fainted on the spot...... Later, although Chai Shao sent someone to ask for forgiveness, Princess Pingyang was never able to stay again.

Now that there is another thing in the same room, she is naturally very disappointed in Li Shimin.

After returning to the palace, Li Shimin came to a small hall by himself. After the Yang Wengan Rebellion, Li Yuan returned to Chang'an, and ordered Li Shimin to move out of the imperial city and move to the Qin Palace.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Li Shimin.

Moving out of the Imperial City, it sounds better. If you say something ugly, you will be expelled from the imperial city.

Although Li Yuan still reused Li Shimin, and even appointed him as Shang Shuling, the commander-in-chief of the six departments, to a certain extent, it also shows that Li Yuan is extremely disappointed in Li Shimin.

In the past year, Li Shimin can be regarded as a year.

On the one hand, he continued to plump his wings, but on the other hand, he had to face the fact that his voice in the court was constantly decreasing.

"Lord Wang, you're back!"

In the small hall, there are all Li Shimin's confidants.

Wang Tong stood up to greet him and asked softly, "What do you gain from the princess's mansion?" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, sighed and said, "The third sister's condition is getting more and more serious, and she seems to have a lot of dissatisfaction with me.

Looking at her condition, I'm afraid it's ...... I really don't know how to speak.

By the way, what news is there in the court today? ”

"Just now, Lord Feng Lun sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that news has come from Lingnan, and the king of Henan is about to set off and will arrive in Chang'an before the end of the year."

"Yangzhen, left?"

"If you count the itinerary, it should be in this one or two."

Li Shimin couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight...... Li Yanqing came back this time, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to turn over again!

"Lord Wang, the current situation is very bad."

Wang Tong said softly: "According to Lord Feng, yesterday His Majesty summoned him to the palace again and talked about many things.

Looking at the situation, His Majesty seems to have made up his mind to help the prince sit firmly in the seat...... Although the prince said that there was no movement, the small movements continued. Recently, the king of Qi has been entertaining ministers from the court and the central government, including many former ministers in the Tiance Mansion. Shubao and Zhijie were invited, but they said that they were sick...... It's just that other people may not be able to hold on, after all, this situation is getting worse and worse! ”

The implication of this is very clear.

If you King Qin don't fight back, the generals of Tiance Mansion may not continue to be loyal to you!

Li Shimin closed his eyes and sighed, "Then what can I do?"

Now that my father has made up his mind, I have no other way out...... If it really doesn't work, I will ask my father to play, ask for a piece of land, and I will be a vassal.

Although the prince and I have been fighting for many years, we must not be able to kill them all. ”

"Lord Wang, if there is no Yang Wengan, the prince may not be held accountable.

But when Yang Wengan happened, the prince and the prince were already on the same footing...... The prince handed over everything in his hands, and the prince may not pursue it for the time being. However, once he ascends the throne, I am afraid that he may not stop. ”

The person who spoke was Wen Yanbo.

This person was born in the third year of Emperor Wu of Zhou's Jiande, and the word is Dalin.

In terms of intimacy, he is also Li Shimin's uncle. Li Shimin's wife is Wen Yanbo's niece, and they have a close relationship.

This secretary Wen Yanbo is vigilant and argues.

In the last years of the emperor, he was named Wenlin Lang, which belonged to the province of internal history.

During the Great Cause years, Wen Yanbo served as Sima of Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou. Later, he rebelled against Luo Yi, and returned to the Tang Dynasty with Luo Yi, and was named the right man of Shangshu Province, in charge of the Ministry of Soldiers, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry. The Wen family is a big family in Taiyuan and has the merit of being a dragon. Coupled with Li Shimin's relationship, the Wen family is extremely firmly on Li Shimin's side and has become an indispensable force for Li Shimin today.

Li Shimin frowned and said: "The prince's surname is generous, and he may not be killed." ”

Wen Yanbo sneered: "Does the prince know what it means to open a bow and not turn back?"

The prince's bow has been opened, and he has been fighting with the prince for several years, and there are all kinds of conflicts here, and the prince dares to say that the prince will not hold a grudge in his heart?

And the prince still has the king of Qi by his side, and the king of Qi is open-minded...... The prince wants to back down now, I'm afraid it's too late! After the crown prince ascended the throne, it was impossible to let go of the prince. ”

"There is no way in, no way out...... So what do you say? ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but feel depressed, looked at the people in the hall, and asked anxiously.

After Wang Tong and Wen Yanbo glanced at each other, Wen Yanbo gritted his teeth, stood up and said in a deep voice: "The prince is not dead, and the prince should die without a place to be buried!" ”
