After Hou Jie's confirmation, Luo Shixin and Dou Pingrong also breathed a sigh of relief.

From letting a killer like Situ Hurt stare at him, even Luo Shixin also had a little palpitations. He was not afraid of Situ Injury, but when Situ Injury took advantage of his absence, he did something to the people he cared about at home, such as Fu Bo and Pei Xingjian, and he shuddered a little when he thought about it. Therefore, no matter what, he must lure Situ out and get rid of it.

killed Situ Injury, and this southward trip was a successful end.

Luo Shixin, Hou Jie, Dou Pingrong and their entourage got off the ship in the next port, cremated Situ's body on the spot, and parted ways with each other.

Dou Pingrong planned to settle in Jingzhou, so she left her contact information and took the first step.

Hou Jie was invited by Luo Shixin and had agreed to be his protégé and walked with him. As for the other people in the rivers and lakes, they also returned home with smiles on their faces. They originally rushed to help in the face of the bearded guest and Pei Qingyi, but they met Luo Shixin and got his guidance, so that their strength improved, and no one was dissatisfied with the harvest of this trip.

Luo Shixin and Hou Jie went directly north, and rushed to Fangcheng on fast horses and rode lightly to join Pingyang.

Jiangnan was victorious, Li Xiaogong, Li Jing and the seven chief managers taught each other. They are all local generals, unlike Luo Shixin, who is like returning to Beijing, and generals like them are not allowed to enter Beijing without being summoned, and they also return to their territories. As for meritorious awards, the imperial court would award them in the form of a holy decree based on their merits. Because of this, Li Jing had to return to the territory of Guiyang and wait for the holy decree. Do a full set of plays, in order to hide people's eyes. Pei Qingyi went to Lingnan with Li Jing, pretending to defect to his master and master, so that Situ had no chance to be found.

The scale of Binh Duong's party was too large to participate in the operation to remove Situ's injury. So the two made an appointment and met in Fangcheng.

Fangcheng is located in the southwest of Henan Province, according to the northeast exit of the Nanyang Basin, the northeast corner of the Nanyang Basin, the eastern foot of Funiu Mountain, and the upper reaches of the Tangbai River. It is adjacent to Wugang and Piyang County in the east, and Sheqi County and Wancheng District in the south. It is connected to Nanzhao County in the west, Lushan County and Ye County in the north, and is the north gate of Nanyang City.

Because of the location, perfect. Even after the destruction of the cannibal demon Zhu Cang in the past, after years of development, it gradually became more vigorous, and there were many business trips. It's very prosperous.

Luo Shixin and Hou Jie entered the city. At the city gate, he met Wu Leopard.

"Brother Wu!" Luo Shixin shouted: "I've been waiting for a long time!" ”

Wu Bao hurriedly greeted him and said, "It didn't take long, we came here three days. Madame is resting at the Wolong Inn, and I will take you to her. ”

Luo Shixin nodded and said yes, and then said with a smile: "Wolong Inn, this name has gained prestige. ”

Wu Bao smiled: "A centuries-old shop, Zhuge Liang, Nanyang's, there is a hundred miles between Longzhong and Fangcheng." The shopkeeper went to the inn with Zhuge Liang. Took a Wolong Inn. Not to mention, business is good. Just rush to this head. Many people would like to stay in the store. Even the lady is not exempt from vulgarity, and she finds it interesting, so she chooses the Wolong Inn. ”

After walking three streets, I saw the big signboard of the four characters of Wolong Inn from a distance, and there was a feather fan painted below the word stack, and the dress was still a little tasteful.

Walking into the inn, Wu Bao directly led Luo Shixin to the second floor, when he rented the house, Pingyang had already rented his share. As usual, next door to each other.

knocked on Pingyang's door, and Pingyang welcomed Luo Shixin into the house with a bit of a strong smile.

"With the deputy marshal and the general conspiring together, I think even if Situ is injured and has ten lives, it is not enough to die." She didn't ask Situ how the injury was, but she could already see the answer from Luo Shixin's expression.

Ignoring the identity along the way, Luo Shixin and Pingyang had a much closer relationship, found a stool and sat down, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"See someone!" Pingyang sat down opposite Luo Shixin, and was seen the clue, the anger on his face was no longer hidden, his fists were clenched, and he slammed on the seat.

Luo Shixin said: "Who can make the princess so angry that her face is blue?" ”

"Liu Cang!" Binh Duong named a person.

Luo Shixin was confused and said, "Who is Liu Cang?" ”

"It's a villain, one of the culprits who instigated my fourth brother to learn badly. When my father asked the fourth brother to guard Taiyuan, he instigated the fourth brother to do all kinds of evil, which made the people's resentment boil and lost Taiyuan, the Longxing place of my Tang Dynasty. They fled to Chang'an, still thinking they were in Taiyuan. He took my handmaid captive and raped her to death. At that time, Chai Shao advised me to calm down, but I couldn't be in a bad mood. Directly broke into the palace of the king of Qi and killed the two people who raped and killed my maidservant. Liu Cang went out to run errands and escaped. Later, the fourth brother sent Liu Cang's head to my house, and the matter was over. Unexpectedly, Liu Cang was still alive, and he was called Liu Chen as a local guard in Fangcheng. ”

Luo Shixin knew that Pingyang had the intention to cover up for his compatriot brother, but he also heard it. Just as he thought, Li Yuanji was arrogant and domineering, with a bad character, and met a father who protected calves, and directly made him, a sixteen-year-old bad guy who didn't know anything, be the Duke of Qi, the commander-in-chief of the military of the fifteen counties of the state, the general of Zhenbei, and the marshal of the Taiyuan Road march.

At that time, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng ran Guanzhong, Li Shimin attacked Western Qin, and Li Yuanji, who covered the sky in Taiyuan, also got acquainted with several henchmen of Liu Cang, who were not right-minded, which caused chaos in Taiyuan, and guided the Li family's lair to Liu Wuzhou.

And Li Yuanji and his henchmen were used to being arrogant, so they came to Chang'an, did not change their style, and bullied Pingyang's head.

Pingyang directly broke into Li Yuanji's mansion, and cut off the head of his henchman in front of Li Yuanji, which directly frightened Li Yuanji into a serious illness.

In order to appease Pingyang's anger, Li Yuanji killed Liu Cang, but he did some tricks and tricks from it, and played the trick of stealing beams and changing pillars.

"Among the official positions of King Qi, there is a Xiangzhou Daoxing Taishang Book Order, and the military and political affairs of Nanyang are all official by him. Arranging a Taishou is not a matter of one sentence? What's more, now that the system of the court is so chaotic, these actions of King Qi are naturally unnoticed. Luo Shixin didn't give Pingyang any face, and he showed Li Yuanji's unaccustomed feelings on his face.

Pingyang also knew that Luo Shixin's upright style could not have any good impression of Li Yuanji, and he didn't care, but he was just a little embarrassed, Li Yuanji was also her own brother of a mother's compatriot. She can scold and fight, can she still kill him?

This is also the reason why she is angry, Li Yuanji treated her as a fool, but she realized that she couldn't do anything now.

Li Yuanji has long been different from what it used to be, he has followed Li Shimin for many years, and with Li Yuan's calf protection, his power is far from being comparable to Pingyang, which has been away from the court for many years.

There was a ridiculous unspoken rule in the Tang Dynasty that Li Yuan was a large court, the crown prince and the king of Qin were a small court, and Li Yuanji was a smaller court. There is a lack of communication between them, and there are often some contradictory directives.

For example, Li Yuan appointed an old friend as the Taishou of Xingyang on a whim today. Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji knew that Xingyang was vacant, and they respectively ordered their henchmen to fill this position. Because of Li Yuan's carelessness and calf protection, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji have independent powers, resulting in a situation where the four orders are issued together.

This made the local officials very entangled, looking at the four different instructions, should they listen to Li Yuan's or Li Jiancheng's or Li Shimin's or Li Yuanji's?

According to common sense, the orders issued by Li Yuan are called edicts by holy decrees, and the orders of the crown prince are called edicts, and the status of Li Shimin and Li Yuanji is secondary, and their orders are fatwas. The edict is naturally greater than the edict, and the edict is naturally better than the fatwa.

However, there was no such thing as zài during the Wude period, and the reason was that Li Yuan was too protective of the calf and treated his three sons equally, forming a situation of division of imperial power.

The decrees of Li Shimin and Li Yuanji can even be compared with Li Yuan's edicts. So much so that local officials have formed a tacit understanding that whoever gives the order will listen to whoever arrives first. Li Yuanji's decree came first, and then the edict of the prince of the greater order and even the edict of the emperor, which had a symbol of supreme power, were all nonsense.

Faced with this situation, it was impossible for Li Yuan not to know, but he ignored it.

I also have to say that Li Yuan is a contradiction. As the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan's meritorious ability is undoubted, but it is not without fault to say that he is mediocre, compared to many heroic and strategic founding emperors, he does have deficiencies in many places: he likes fishing colors, and is keen to be the shopkeeper, because of excessive calf protection and distribution of power to his three sons, causing chaos in the court system, and even affecting the prestige of the emperor.

Therefore, no matter what later generations think of Li Shimin's Xuanwumen Change, it is a compliment or a disparagement, but one thing is recognized.

The source of the Xuanwumen tragedy lies in Li Yuan, whose overly protective heart caused all kinds of problems and led to the occurrence of the Xuanwumen tragedy.

Luo Shixin saw that Pingyang was in a bad mood, and he didn't know how to persuade him, and when he saw two strong bows hanging in the room, his heart moved, and he immediately said: "I think the economy of this city is not bad, if that Liu Cang has been taught a lesson because of what happened back then, and he can change his ways." The past is for him to pass, after all, it has been so many years, and it is not easy to investigate. If he still hasn't repented, it won't be difficult to get hold of him. Even if he had King Qi to protect him? Get all his ironclad evidence and hand it over to His Majesty to deal with, with the power of you and me, I'm afraid that I won't be able to rectify a Taishou? Now that I'm out, I'm not in a hurry to go back. It's winter, but the weather hasn't cooled yet, and it's the last days of the best time to hunt. The vicinity of Funiu Mountain, north of this square city, is a natural hunting ground, so it is better to put aside an unpleasant thing and have a good time, so that the princess can see my archery skills. ”

Pingyang actually had this intention for a long time, but it just let Liu Cang's incident affect his mood. It was rare for his sweetheart to invite, and he let go of his unhappiness and said with a smile: "Okay! (To be continued......)
