Zhang Xuan was waiting outside for the time being, Chai Shao wanted to talk to his father-in-law about some personal matters first, he arranged Zhang Xuan, and walked quickly to his father-in-law's study. [Ran^Text^Library] []●⌒ Title Novel, x.

Li Yuan, who was left behind in Taiyuan, is about fifty years old this year, but he is very well maintained, and he looks like he is only in his early forties, with a gentle smile, giving people an approachable feeling.

In fact, he is also a well-known good man in the imperial court, and his popularity is very good, when he was a Taishou in Mayi County, even the old peasants in Mayi County would give him a thumbs up and praise, 'Li Gong is a kind person.' ’

But in Taiyuan, his reputation has deteriorated a bit.

In the study, Chai Shao saluted his father-in-law and told Li Yuan about the situation in Luoyang Wuchuan Mansion in recent months, which was also something that Li Yuan was very concerned about.

"This time Yang Xuangan's rebellion had too much impact, and there were also disagreements within Wuchuan Mansion, the Yuan family, the Yu family and the Chen family all thought that Wuchuan Mansion should not prevent Yang Xuangan from entering the customs, they complained that the owner had wasted a great opportunity, and even united some small families to put pressure on the owner of the meeting, asking the owner to resign, and even the head of the Dugu family was dissatisfied with the owner, I can feel that the pressure on the owner of the meeting has been very high recently."

Li Yuan's wife Dou is Dou Qing's daughter, Li Yuan and the Dou family have a very close relationship, in this Yang Xuangan rebellion, he and the Dou family stand on the same front, and resolutely oppose giving Yang Xuangan any chance, Li Yuan knows that the Yuan family opposes Dou Qing, largely because he Li Yuan killed Yuan Honghei.

After a deep sigh, he asked, "You have a close relationship with Yuan Jun, did he mention me?" ”

Chai Shao nodded lightly, "Yuan Jun said that several elders of their family were very dissatisfied with their father-in-law, mainly because of the death of Yuan Honghei. ”

Li Yuan snorted heavily, Yuan Hongsi got the secret support of the Yuan family, and he actually wanted to rebel in Honghua County regardless of the overall situation, but he was extinguished by himself in time, and the Yuan family not only did not review them for destroying the overall situation, but also held a grudge against themselves.

Li Yuan was also very annoyed in his heart, when everyone swore to advance and retreat together, and formed Wuchuan Mansion together, it was only less than ten years, and there was a crack in Wuchuan Mansion, in the final analysis, it was still selfish, the Yuan family thought that they were the heirs of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so they wanted to seize the power of Wuchuan Mansion and replace Sui Yang Tianxia, which was too self-righteous.

But this matter can not be solved for a while, it takes a long-term internal struggle to gradually run in, especially the Dugu family with an ambiguous attitude needs to stand up, but this is the most difficult thing to do, his uncle Dugu Shun attaches too much importance to the pure blood of the Guanlong nobles, and acts too conservatively, until the last moment, he will never express his position.

Li Yuan no longer thought about this troublesome matter, and asked again: "Sichang, you and Zhang Xuan have not been together for a short time, what is his origin?" ”

In the past month or so, Chai Shao wrote to his father-in-law twice to report the Yang Xuangan hunting case and the Tiange Temple case, so Li Yuan was also somewhat interested in this Zhang Xuan.

Chai Shao smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, this Zhang Xuan has an unknown origin, and he is definitely not a Hanoi monk as he himself said, but his origin has not been found out so far, but King Yan doesn't seem to care, he is very important to him, as for the master, he always feels that Zhang Xuan is a rare talent, and he does not hesitate to invest a lot of money in him." ”

Every time Chai Shao thinks of the Qingshi Sutra, he feels a little uncomfortable in his heart, the master has invested so much blood on Zhang Xuan, but he has never given himself such attention.

"Why does Lord Dou have to let you accompany him to the north?" Li Yuan pondered and asked again.

Chai Shao sighed and said, "Isn't it for the Turkic supplies?" Zhang Zhongjian has already gone north, it is said that Yu Wenhua and he have not been in Luoyang recently, and it is estimated that he has also gone north, I think the master wants to use Zhang Xuan to assist Zhang Zhongjian, so I asked him to accompany him to the north. ”

Chai Shao mentioned the batch of supplies from the Turks, and Li Yuan's eyes gradually brightened, and he also got the news that the 300,000 pieces of armor that Goguryeo Jin had dedicated to the Turks had actually disappeared in the grassland, and if that batch of armor could belong to him, or he could also get a piece of the pie

Li Yuan took a few steps with his hands in his hand, turned back to Chai Shao and said, "I plan to let the second uncle of Shentong go north with you." ”

Chai Shao was stunned for a moment, he understood what his father-in-law meant, and it seemed a little late to intervene in that batch of armor at this time, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he nodded and agreed.

"Father-in-law, is there any news about the completion?"

Li Yuan nodded, "There is only a little bit of news, Zhai Rang is extremely polite to him, let him sit in the second position of the Wagang Army, and then there is no news." ”

Li Yuan is worried about the matter of his eldest son, it is not an absolute secret that Jiancheng pretended to be Li Mi to go to Wagang, like Zhai Rang, Wei Zheng and Wang Bodang all know that once they use this matter to blackmail themselves, it is really annoying, although it has not happened yet, but it is not sure when it will break out in the future.

Even if you don't worry about Wagangzhai, there is also a great hidden danger in Wuchuan Mansion, so far only my father-in-law and uncle know, I believe that my father-in-law Dou Qing will keep his mouth shut, I am afraid that my uncle Dugushun will inadvertently leak out and be known by the Yuan family, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Li Yuan began to regret agreeing to his father-in-law's request, he really shouldn't let Jiancheng take this risk, but now it's too late to regret it, he can only spend it every day trembling, just hoping that this matter will not be exposed.

Chai Shao wanted to ask again, but felt that his father-in-law didn't seem to want to mention this matter more, so he changed the topic and said: "When the son-in-law entered the city, he seemed to hear some rumors that were unfavorable to his father-in-law, which damaged his father-in-law's reputation. ”

Li Yuan understood the words in his words, he was silent for a moment, and sighed: "I am also forced to do it!" If I didn't destroy my reputation like this, how could he be reassuring of me? ”

"Father-in-law mean today?"

"Of course it's him!"

Li Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "On the surface, Yang Guang seems to trust me and let me sit in the strategic place of Taiyuan, but in fact? I knew in my heart that he didn't trust me at all, and sent the generals Wang Wei and Gao Junya to control the military and monitor my every move. ”

"But why did he do it?"

"He just sent me to execute Yuan Hongsi in order to divide the Guanlong nobles, and then promoted me to stay in Taiyuan, which was popular with everyone, and as a result, the death of Yuan Hongsi was recorded on my head, causing the Yuan family to hate me to the core, and the Yu and Zhao families who followed the Yuan family were very dissatisfied with me, which is the cleverness of Yang Guang's skill, and successfully provoked the contradiction between the Yuan and Dou factions of the Guanlong nobles."

Chai Shao was silent, he understood his father-in-law's hardship, Luoyang and Chang'an popular Muzi Li's nursery rhyme, saying that the one who replaced Yang Sui must be the Li family, so that Yang Guang was extremely suspicious of several Li families, and his father-in-law could only reassure Yang Guang by destroying his reputation, otherwise he would have been killed by him a long time ago.

Li Yuan glanced at him, and said seriously: "You should also be careful in Chang'an, Yang Guang is very scheming, he will not really connive at Wuchuan Mansion, now he is just casting a long line to catch big fish, once the time is ripe, he will wipe out the Guanlong nobles, if I am not mistaken, there must be Yang Guang's eyeliner in Wuchuan Mansion." ”

Chai Shao nodded silently, and at this time, Li Yuan remembered something again, and said with a smile: "I forgot to tell you, San Lang came back yesterday, and compared with before, he is a completely different person." ”

San Lang is the third Li Xuanba, who has been weak since he was a child, and was sent by Li Yuan to Zhongnan Mountain to learn martial arts for seven years, even Chai Shao has never seen him, Chai Shao was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "Is he in the house now?" ”

"It seems that the brothers go out shopping, and they will see him in the evening."

Zhang Xuan sat in the guest hall on the side of the official landlord and waited patiently for Li Yuan to receive him, he knew that Chai Shao had some private matters to report to Li Yuan, of course he could not be present, he was not in a hurry, he sat in the outer hall drinking tea and waiting.

At this time, several children ran in the courtyard, wielding wooden knives and guns, and a young voice shouted: "Where will the enemy flee?" ”

Zhang Xuan suddenly felt that the child's voice was very familiar, he slowly walked to the front of the hall, only to see three children in the courtyard surrounded one of them, the first child was about seven or eight years old, looking like a tiger, Zhang Xuan recognized it at a glance, isn't this child the son of Wang Bodang? How is he here.

When several children saw an adult coming out, they were so frightened that they ran to the backyard, and Zhang Xuan hurriedly shouted, "Kogoro! He vaguely remembered the name.

Wang Bodang's son stopped, looked back at Zhang Xuan in surprise, "Are you ...... Uncle Zhang! ”

He also recognized Zhang Xuan and immediately ran back excitedly, "Why is Uncle Zhang here?" ”

"I'm passing through Taiyuan, you...... Isn't it in Chang'an with your mother? ”

Wang Zhiyuan scratched his head, "Originally, I was in Chang'an, but last month, Ah Gong Li brought me and my mother here, and my father wrote a letter to order me, and I heard my mother say that it seems that my father and Uncle Li are together." ”

The child spoke clearly, he was a grandfather and an uncle, but Zhang Xuan understood a little, Li Ah Gong must be referring to Li Yuan, so could Uncle Li be Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng?

"Kogoro, hurry up!" There were children shouting in the distance.

Wang Zhiyuan was suddenly anxious, he saw that Uncle Zhang was distracted, and he didn't care, he ran away, and disappeared as soon as he slipped through the smoke.

Zhang Xuan was still immersed in great surprise and suspicion, he knew that Wang Bodang was ordered to go to Wagang, but he didn't know, who replaced Li Mi?

But Xiao Wulang is unscrupulous, and a huge secret was revealed in one sentence, could it be that Li Jiancheng replaced Li Mi on Wagang?

It is very possible that Li Mi is just a pawn of the Guanlong nobles, when this chess piece disappears, there will inevitably be another chess piece to replace him, if it is Li Jiancheng, it is completely reasonable.

It's just that Li Yuan is not afraid that Yang Guang knows? Or is Li Jiancheng an impostor at all, is it an impostor who replaced Li Mi?

Zhang Xuan felt that his eyes were getting clearer and clearer, he remembered the fake Li Mi head he saw when he first entered Luoyang, if Li Jiancheng was an impostor to replace Li Mi, it would make sense, it was the fake Li Mi who died, and the real Li Mi did not die, but went to Wagang.

At this time, footsteps came from not far away, interrupting Zhang Xuan's train of thought, and he saw Chai Shao walking briskly towards here with a middle-aged man.

This must be Li Yuan coming, Zhang Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Chai Shao smiled and introduced Li Yuan: "This is Zhang Gongzi, who is deeply valued by King Yan." ”

"Si Chang is too awarded."

Zhang Xuan hurriedly saluted Li Yuan, "Junior Zhang Xuan see Li Gong!" ”

Li Yuan looked Zhang Xuan up and down, and saw that he was tall and straight, and his appearance was dignified, so he couldn't help but nod his head secretly in appreciation, appearance is the first level of interpersonal communication, his appearance is heroic and upright, and it is often easy to give people a good first impression, which Zhang Xuan has a great advantage for.

Li Yuan had already heard Chai Shao say about Zhang Xuan's hunting for Yang Xuan's touching head, and he remembered Zhang Xuan's performance in the Tiange Temple case, and he secretly thought in his heart: "This son is a very courageous person, if there is no problem with his background, he can use it for his own use, and maybe he can help himself achieve great things in the future." ”

He had the intention of wooing in his heart, so he smiled and said, "I don't know what to call Zhang Gongzi's words?" ”

This is a problem, generally men will have a table word when they are full of weak crowns, which is convenient for others to call, like Chai Shao's character Sichang, Li Yuan's character Shude.

Zhang Xuan also considered this matter in the Yanwang Mansion, he remembered that when he was a child, his grandfather had named himself Zhang Ding, and later because his generation was a golden generation, he changed his name to Zhang Xuan, so he decided to add the Ding character to his table.

Zhang Xuan hurriedly said: "Back to Gong Li, the word Yuan Ding in the following table." ”

"Zhang Yuanding, this word is good."

Although Li Yuan has the heart to win over, Zhang Xuan's origin is unknown, so he does not dare to act rashly, not to mention that he can't rob people with Wuchuan Mansion now, and he can't let Wuchuan Mansion discover his intentions, so he decided to take a long-term view of Zhang Xuan and put a long line to catch this fish.

Li Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "I heard Si Chang say that he wants to accompany Zhang Gongzi to the north of the Turks, and it just so happens that my brother Shentong is idle at home and wants to go out for a trip, I wonder if Gongzi is willing to accept my brother's accompaniment?" ”

Zhang Xuan was stunned in his heart, what did Li Yuan do when he asked Li Shentong to go north?

Could it be that Li Yuan's idea of wanting to fight those items was also unsuccessful?

[To explain, in the previous initial chapter, Zhang Xuan should have known that Li Jiancheng went to Wagang, but Lao Gao later made a slight modification, hiding the part where Zhang Xuan guessed that Li Jiancheng went to Wagang, and disclosed the truth in this chapter, I hope you will forgive me!] 】
