The next morning, a gorgeous carriage under the escort of dozens of heavily armed men rushed towards Wuchuan Mansion, and stopped in front of the gate of Wuchuan Mansion, Yuan Min rushed down from the carriage angrily, although he was over seventy years old, but his figure was still burly, and the momentum of the general was not lost at all, he pushed away the guards and roared: "Let Dou Qing come to see me!" ”

His eldest grandson Yuanjun did not return overnight, and there was no news until the morning, he realized that something had happened to the eldest grandson, although he did not have any evidence that the Wuchuan Mansion had taken the person, but he believed that Dou Qing had captured his eldest grandson.

Yuan Min was almost mad with anger, he pulled out his sword, and rushed all the way to Wuchuan Tower, he kept rushing into the inner hall of Wuchuan Tower, and yelled upward: "Dou Qing, you come down for me!" ”

"Brother Yuan, what kind of temper are you throwing at?

Dou Qing and Dugu Shun walked down from the upstairs one after the other, Dugu Shun saw Yuan Min's angry face, and couldn't help frowning, "What happened?" ”

Yuan Min didn't expect Dugu Shun to be there, he restrained his anger and said coldly: "My eldest grandson disappeared last night. ”

"Yuan Jun?"

Dou Qing was also stunned, "Where did he disappear?" ”

Yuan Min sneered, "Master Dou, you should know better than me!" ”

Dugu Shun glanced at Dou Qing, "Did Brother Xian do something?" ”

Dou Qing looked helpless, shook his head and said, "I'm as dazed as you, I don't know why the head of the Yuan family thinks that I captured Yuan Jun, why should I arrest him?" Don't I think Wuchuan Mansion is messy enough? ”

Dugu Shun's sharp gaze looked at Yuan Min, although he didn't speak, his gaze was clearly questioning Yuan Min, "Why do you think that Dou Qing took your grandson?" ’

At this time, Yuan Min had gradually calmed down. He really has no evidence, let alone why he thinks that Dou Qing has taken people?

But Yuan Min knew very well in his heart that Dou Qing took his eldest grandson as a hostage in order to threaten him not to interfere in Li Hun's affairs, and there would be no one else in this matter except Dou Qing.

He hated it in his heart. There was anger in his eyes, "Okay! This time the Yuan family admits defeat, but I will settle this account sooner or later, Master Dou, I believe you also understand it in your heart! ”

After Yuan Min finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the outside of Wuchuan Mansion. Dugu Shun hurriedly chased after him and shouted to him, "Brother Xian, please stay!" ”

But Yuan Min didn't have the slightest intention of staying, and strode towards the outside of the mansion, Dou Qing looked at him and couldn't help but sigh lowly. Everything is difficult to do both, although Li Yuan was saved, but it could not repair the rift with the Yuan family, the differences between the two sides were too great, and the Wuchuan Mansion was inevitably divided in the end.

．．．．．．．．

These days, Li Yuan almost stayed at home, stayed in the mansion and spent all day drinking, drunk all day long, and the whole mansion was worried. Although the master is a loyal elder, how can he become a drunkard again?

Only after waking up in the morning, Li Yuan was still relatively awake, and he knew it very well in his heart. Since there is a proverb in Luoyang, Yang Guang will definitely pay close attention to himself, and any nervousness and uneasiness of him will arouse Yang Guang's suspicions.

In fact. The Li Yuan family is a weak person among the Guanlong nobles, which is related to the premature death of Li Yuan's father. In addition, Li Yuan himself has been cowardly since he was a child, and his qualifications are ordinary. If he can't write or martial arts, he relies on the protection of his ancestors, and even his uncle Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, doesn't have a high opinion of him.

Now he is nearly fifty years old, hereditary Duke of Tang, but compared with other Guanlong nobles, he still seems very unproductive, and he can't even mix the position of a general, which is also related to his character.

was drunk all day long, Li Yuan himself couldn't bear it, he knew in his heart that if he continued to drink like this, he would really become an alcoholic.

At this time, Li Yuan sat in the inner hall, looking at the jar full of wine on the table, his scalp was numb for a while, at this time, he beckoned, called one of his henchmen forward, and whispered to him: "Pour out most of your jar of wine, and then fill it with well water and bring it to me!" ”

"The villain understands!"

The little guy immediately took the wine jar away, Li Yuan sighed secretly, he couldn't get drunk anymore, he could only pretend and deceive the people who were watching him!

Although he didn't know who the person who was spying on him was, he felt that someone was spying on him, and among the more than 100 people in the house, there must be eyeliner sent by Yang Guang.

At this time, a family member reported in the hall, "Master, the second son is back!" ”

Li Yuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Let him come to see me!" ”

After a while, the second son Li Shimin hurriedly walked over, knelt down and saluted his father, "The child greets his father!" ”

Li Shimin is seventeen years old this year, his stature is medium to tall, he looks very strong, there is no trace of weakness, although his appearance is not handsome, but his facial features are upright, his face is slender and long, he seems to be heroic, especially a pair of clear and bright eyes, particularly bright, sharp and alert but quiet, so that he has a kind of wisdom that is rare among his peers.

Li Yuan likes his eldest son Jiancheng the most, thinking that he is generous and steady, just like himself, but he also has great expectations for his second son, Shimin, hoping that he can do great things.

"How's it going, are they coming?"

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, "Back to my father, they are all here, and they are really hateful, not fake, and they can't find loopholes." ”

"Well done!"

Li Yuan praised the second son, and he asked again, "Is there any news about your eldest brother?" ”

"Yes!"

Li Shimin hurriedly smiled and said, "The eldest brother and brother-in-law are together in the Zheng family in Xingyang. ”

Li Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief, the Zheng family in Xingyang was his in-law's family, built in his father-in-law's house, and he believed that the Zheng family would cover his whereabouts for him, so that his biggest worry was solved.

At this time, Li Shimin noticed that his father was full of alcohol, and couldn't help but be a little worried: "Father drinks too much, you have to pay attention to your body!" ”

Li Yuan smiled slightly, "Don't worry!" I don't want to drink it anymore, so I drink some fake wine and pretend to be it, and spray some wine on my body, which makes the wine smell sky, and no one doubts it. ”

Li Shimin also laughed, and he asked again, "Is there any news from my grandfather?" ”

"Yesterday your grandfather wrote a letter to me, he is already working on solving the proverb crisis, it should be a bit eyebrows, it is estimated that it can be solved today and tomorrow, I will pretend again!"

Li Yuan thought for a while, and then instructed his son: "Those old men are very important, you have to follow the whole process, and there can be no accidents, understand?" ”

"The child understands!"

Li Yuan sighed softly, looked out of the hall and said, "Whether I can escape this catastrophe depends on today, although my reputation is damaged, I can't care about it." ”

At noon, a group of old people, about thirty or forty people, appeared on Luoyang Tianjie, and when they came to Tianjin Bridge, they knelt down and cried, "The Son of Heaven is the master of the small people!" ”

Dozens of old men knelt down and wept in front of the Tianjin Bridge, the scene was spectacular, and immediately attracted countless people to watch, people talked about it, I don't know what happened, the soldiers guarding the Tianjin Bridge rushed up one after another, dispersed the people.

At this moment, Xiao Yu, the waiter of the inner history, happened to pass by the Tianjin Bridge, and he saw this group of old men in the carriage, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" ”

The carriage stopped, Xiao Yu pulled the curtain and asked, "What happened?" ”

The captain stepped forward to report: "Qi Xiao Xiangguo, a group of old men from Taiyuan, came to the capital to sue the emperor!" ”

"Oh?"

Xiao Yu was a little strange, so he ordered: "Bring someone up, I'll ask!" ”

Several soldiers brought an old man led by him, and when the old man heard that it was Xiangguo, he kowtowed and cried: "Ask Xiangguo to be our master!" ”

"What grievances do you have?"

"Qi Xiangguo, Taiyuan left Li Yuan to bend the law for bribes and forcibly occupy private houses, we are all victims, this is a complaint, please Xiangguo is the master for us." The old man presented a file of pleadings.

Xiao Yu heard that they were suing Li Yuan, and couldn't help but be surprised, he also heard that Li Yuan was not very honest in Taiyuan, but he didn't expect the victim to sue in Beijing, he took the complaint and looked at it, it was clearly written, Li Yuan was on what month and day, and how much price was used to buy how many acres of land, he didn't really believe that Li Yuan would do this kind of thing, but now he has to believe it.

At this time, Liu Zhi, the palace attendant, rode a horse and galloped, he turned over and dismounted, saluted Xiao Yu, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Xiao Gong, this matter has alarmed the saint, and the saint ordered Weichen to come out to inquire about the situation." ”

Xiao Yu nodded, "Since I have encountered this matter, I will go and tell the saint!" You arrange for these old men to stay first. ”

Xiao Yu said to everyone again: "I already know your grievances, you go to rest first, I believe the court will give you an explanation." ”

All the old men kowtowed and cried: "Thank you Xiangguo for making decisions for us!" ”

Liu Zhi took the old men who complained down, Xiao Yu thought about it, and immediately ordered: "Go to Miyagi!" ”

The carriage started and drove along the Tianjin Bridge towards the opposite end gate

In the imperial study, Yang Guangzheng and Yu Shiji discussed the placement of the army to protect the children, although Yu Shiji has great power, and often has exclusive power, which makes Yang Guang unhappy, just a few months ago, Yang Guang dismissed him from the post of internal history waiter under the pretext that Yu Shiji's nephew and son participated in Yang Xuangan's rebellion.

However, this is just Yang Guang's warning and small punishment to Yu Shiji, once Yu Shiji shows repentance, Yang Guang will continue to reuse him, after all, Yu Shiji's execution is very strong, he knows his own mind, Yang Guang is still inseparable from him, as for Yu Shiji is often impeached for bribery, Yang Guang doesn't care about it at all, and he doesn't want to make money as an official, so he still wants to rebel?

"Your Majesty, Weichen also believes that Lai Hu'er actually has no ambition to support the army and stand on his own, but he despises His Majesty's authority a little, so he dares to say that he will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected.

However, the reason why Wechen strongly demanded the disbandment of the former army was not because they were subordinates who came to protect the children, but because now that the major reform of the military system has been completed and all parties have stabilized, this army has suddenly appeared, attracting competition from all sides, which will disrupt the balance of military power that has been formed with great difficulty, and will make the previous achievements of our army restructuring wasted, so this army cannot be retained and must be disbanded.
