Chapter 1190: Sharpening the Knife Huo Huo Moudong Palace
In front of the Du Mansion, most of the people gathered at this moment are the younger generation of emperors and grandchildren. After all, the princes still remember the ruthlessness of today's son, there are abolished prince Li Ying and King of Hubei Li Yao, King of Light Li Ju "degraded to death" Lingnan in front, Li Heng and King Jianning of Guangping were quietly executed, and King Rong was tyrannical behind, even if they now see that the Son of Heaven in the East Palace is seriously ill and can no longer bear his temperament, but they don't dare to fight for their lives too rashly. In this case, they have given birth to too many children in their leisure years over the years, and now it is natural that these emperors and grandchildren are rushing to the front. Of course, there are also emperors and grandsons who mourn their misfortune, are angry with them, and take the initiative to help their fathers.
You don't see how much ability Ruizong Li Dan could have back then, but there was a princess Taiping who rushed to kill in front, and a son Li Longji helped behind, so he took the throne from his nephew Li Chongmao lightly and skillfully!
They are all guests in the mansion of the sixteen kings, and the emperors and grandsons have a lot of contact with each other on weekdays, and they are familiar with each other. They have been locked up for many years since they came these days, and they have become the group that no one dares to offend in Chang'an City, the Son of Heaven does not speak, Pei Kuan does not dare to care, and Du Youlin stops after managing it once, so it also fuels their arrogance. After all, if he was really humble and restrained, he would not have come up when Du Shiyi had just returned to Beijing and hadn't seen Li Longji.
"A lot of tooth soldiers have come back just now, why hasn't Du Xiangguo seen anyone yet?"
"Could it be that I'm already going to see His Majesty at this time?"
"What are you kidding, Your Majesty heard that I have been in a coma for several days, how can I meet you immediately!"
"Look at this situation, I specially summoned Du Xiangguo back, nine times out of ten it is really a lonely one!"
Once liberated, these emperors and grandsons who were idle and bored in the past can be said to have no taboos, whispering their true and false information, and then testing the information that others know, until there was a sudden shouting sound from both ends, they all quieted down, looked up at the place where the sound came from, but found that the two ends of the long street were blocked by the messengers wearing neat uniforms. Faced with such a situation, someone suddenly shouted angrily: "What is this for?" Who is so bold as to dare to block the road in front of Du Xiangguo! ”
Someone raised his head, and the others immediately chimed in. At this time, the two servants made way for a passage, but the four Wannian lieutenants who stayed in the Wannian County Party today all came out. As the first lieutenant in the world, their ascent channel is much wider than that of ordinary officials, but dealing with the emperor's relatives is still the most troublesome thing, but no one shows the slightest fear at this time.
"On the order of Cui Ming, escort all the emperors and grandsons back to the Sixteen Princes' Mansion!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in front of the Du Mansion, and then a burst of noise broke out that almost lifted the roof. Some people abused, some threatened, and some people sprinkled, in the midst of this chaos, suddenly, a sudden sound of killing words overshadowed their voices, and with the sound appeared in front of them, there were only a dozen cavalry, but the killing intent that came to their faces was like substance, which made them all quiet down at once. When he saw the person in the lead, he immediately exclaimed with surprise and joy with the best eyesight: "Du Xiangguo!" ”
But before he could say a second sentence, Du Shiyi raised his hand, and almost all the Wannian County officials rushed forward and looked at these emperors and their servants firmly. It wasn't until he saw the frightened expressions of most of the people in the crowd that he said word by word: "If I remember correctly, Your Majesty has always had a clear order for the prince and the emperor's grandson, not to go to the order, not to leave the Sixteen Princes' Mansion without permission, now that so many people are here, what is the intention, is it trying to do wrong?" ”
Du Shiyi didn't say a word and directly buttoned down a big hat, and sure enough, there was a commotion in the crowd, some people hurriedly defended, some people looked forward to the left and right, and some people had the luck of not being responsible for the law, but some people noticed that there seemed to be something hidden behind Du Shiyi's cold attitude. However, Du Shiyi did not give them more time to think and struggle, but bluntly and solemnly admonished.
"I just returned to Beijing today, and I haven't seen what the situation was before, and I am not to blame for the past, but since I met me today, I can't be careless. Come, escort everyone back to the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, and then you will stay there for the time being, and when I enter the palace, I will see His Majesty, and ask how this matter should be handled, and then make a decision!" If a person comes out casually, the offender will not be spared, but I am the only one who asks you! ”
Du Shiyi couldn't help but say that he was going to drive them back, and he didn't allow them to leave the Sixteen Princes' Mansion again, so it was easy for the emperors and grandsons who were used to letting go of the wind to change their color. There are also people who want to resist with their necks in hand, but they are hurriedly pulled back by the servants or cousins around them. After the initial whispering, the surroundings became silent, and even the four Wannian Lieutenants who came out with Du Shiyi felt incredible.
These emperors and grandsons don't even buy Jiang Du Dou Ye's face, why can Du Shiyi's words suppress the audience and have such great power? Could it be that if you lead troops to fight and kill more people, your power will be extraordinarily different?
The street in front of the house was finally clean, and Du Shiyi was finally satisfied. When he returned home to bathe and change clothes, he came to the study after changing into civilian clothes, leaned on the specially built Taishi chair that was specially built back then, and drank most of the cup of tea for a while, and then called Xue Song and Li Huaiyu. These two used to be people in An Lushan's system, the difference is only that Xue Song is already a middle-level general, while Li Huaiyu is just a brigade commander, and there is a big difference in age. It's just that at this moment, the two of them stood in front of him, and they all exuded extraordinary awe.
Just in front of Du's house, the scene of Du Shiyi residing in many dragons and phoenixes is really amazing!
Only Du Shiyi himself knows that he is certainly very majestic, but what really intimidates those heavenly nobles is because they suddenly understand that if he provokes him and he backhands the Son of Heaven, then Li Longji should be happy to be the ruthless monarch who kills his son and grandson without blinking! After all, the Son of Heaven would never be happy when he suddenly lost control over his descendants!
In the end, Cui Peng is still a little tender, he has not been sharpened as a foreign official, and he is not like Du Youlin, who helped him deceive Shuo Fang Wenwu at a young age, and fooled him when he left the office.
Seeing that Xue Song and Li Huaiyu were all silent, Du Shiyi would not break this joint. He glanced at the two of them and said bluntly: "Although you two will return to Beijing with me, I will not reveal the identities of the two of you in front of others." First, Xiyi is fighting in Pinglu, if anyone knows that Huaiyu is in Chang'an, it will inevitably cause trouble. Second, Xue Song, as the grandson of Xue Gong, has done such a thing as rebellion, and now he has not yet made an inch, and if he says it, he will die, and as for your younger brother, Xue Wei, who is still in the rebels, will never be spared. ”
Li Huaiyu doesn't care if he can meet today, not to mention that Li Longji has been so dim-witted over the years, and now he has abandoned Chang'an in the front, criticized by the people of the world, and is seriously ill, and he doesn't know how many days he will live. As for Xue Song, he understood that Du Shiyi's words were by no means to intimidate him, although he was spared by Princess Gu'an because he had just arrived in Yongqiu and had no bad deeds among the people, but with the word rebel general above his head, he had no descendants, and his identity would definitely be beheaded if his identity was revealed. Therefore, the two immediately agreed.
"Xue Song, after all, the Xue family was once familiar to the people of Chang'an, you let me stay here honestly, and write everything you know about the rebels to me, so that I can refer to it later. Huaiyu, you can prove the truth from the side. In addition, I will give you a topographical map of Hebei, and I will have someone prepare a sand table for you, so that I can imagine several possibilities for the future movement of the rebels. Although it is not a great achievement to capture the flag in the battle array, if it is useful in the future, I will naturally not spare the reward of the official! ”
Li Huaiyu was young and immediately a little eager to try. Xue Song secretly complained to himself, thinking that this would not be so easy. If Du Shiyi had stayed in Chang'an City for a long time, the battle situation ahead would have changed rapidly, and the things they had prepared would have been useless long ago; If Du Shiyi stayed for a short time, he didn't know the specific situation on the front line now, he only knew that Shi Siming, Cai Xide, and Li Guiren had led the troops back one after another, how could he be in time?
How these two people will be entangled, Du Shiyi can't care. He just found something for the two of them to do, lest they be too idle to toss things in Chang'an. Because then, he had more important things to prepare, and he didn't have time to pay attention to them. Therefore, after taking them down to rest, he successively sent several waves of people to send peace posts everywhere, and he himself was mixed in them, and quietly came to Cui's house in Pingkangfang.
When the brother and sister met, Du Sanniang couldn't help but feel distressed and angry when she saw that her brother seemed to have lost a little weight again. But as soon as she said that Du Xianhui went to Cui Jiuniang's house, before she could ask questions, she was preempted by Du Shiyi.
"Does my brother-in-law have a letter from me?"
"He's very good in Wangzhou, so we don't have to worry about it. It's just that when he heard that An Lushan rebelled, he beat his chest and said why he wasn't in Chang'an, otherwise he could help Ah Peng and Youlin, and I scolded him in the letter! Speaking of her husband, Du Sanniang was worried, but her mouth was very hard, seeing Du Shiyi smile, as if she had seen through her own thoughts, she hurriedly asked, "Why hasn't my sister-in-law come back?" ”
"I'll let her stay in the clouds and take care of her for a while." Seeing her sister's surprise and concern, Du Shiyi sighed and said, "During the Mobei Rebellion last year, she had a miscarriage. ”
Du Sanniang was a little stunned, she wanted to open her mouth to comfort her brother, but when the words came to her mouth, she felt that those words were weak and powerless, and in the end it only turned into a sigh.
"Don't talk about these sad things, Thirteen Niang, let me ask you, as far as you know, these days, those dragon sons and phoenix grandsons in the Sixteen Kings' Mansion have been connected everywhere, how many people have run to the palace?"
Princess Gu'an was not there before, and Du Sanniang took the initiative to take part of the responsibility for Chang'an's intelligence collection, and now as soon as she came back, she also did not put down the matter at hand. She didn't answer immediately, stood up and went to a secret compartment next to the bookshelf, opened a small drawer with a key, took out a roll of paper from it, unfolded it and looked at it carefully with her fingers, then handed it to Du Shiyi, and explained: "Since there is news in the palace that the jade body is not safe, of course they have to go to the book to say hello, and after that, His Majesty has seen them one by one, which was rare in the past." Moreover, there are several who have entered the palace many times. Among them, King Ying four times, King Yong four times, King Sheng four times, King Feng four times. By the way, King Yan was robbed of the throne because he set fire to the house without authorization in the Ma Wei Post and was robbed of the throne, and now he has not been returned to the throne, and he is the only one who is forbidden to enter the palace. ”
