Empress Xiao no longer shirked, and said, "Okay, these two wills are under the palace." I just don't know how Lord Liu will settle this palace in the future? ”

This sentence is actually asked knowingly. The people in the royal family of the previous dynasty never had a very good ending. Empress Xiao herself turned out to be the princess of Xiliang, after the death of Xiliang, she was elected as the princess of Jin, and the rest of the clan were exiled, until she became the queen, Xiao Mo was symbolically appointed to the post of county order. As for the people of the Nanchen royal family, it is even more miserable. Those concubines and princesses were either confiscated into the court or rewarded to meritorious heroes, and all the male members have been exiled to the desolate places in the west such as Weiwu, and have not been able to return to the Central Plains so far. Even so, Empress Xiao still couldn't help but ask.

Liu Ziqiu didn't know those rules, and he didn't plan to bully this family of orphans and widows. Listening to Empress Xiao's words, he couldn't help but groan: "Niangniang naturally lives in Daxing Palace first. really waited for the day when Yang Qi was enthroned, and it was naturally inconvenient for Daxing Palace to let Niangniang live anymore. However, Yang Guang built so many palaces in Jingzhao and Henan two counties, and Niangniang could choose one of them. All kinds of food and supplies, Liu promised that there would never be a shortage. ”

Empress Xiao sighed and said, "At that time, the palace will be at the disposal of Lord Liu." Hongu has two more requests. ”

Actually, this was all Liu Ziqiu's kindness, but Empress Xiao misunderstood. According to Liu Ziqiu's thoughts, since Empress Xiao's family is from the royal family, it is difficult to get used to the life of ordinary people. Although the palace is not as good as the palace, it is also very luxurious, Yang Guang liked to live there in the past, and let Queen Xiao's family move over, which can be regarded as a good home for them. In the eyes of Empress Xiao, the palace also belonged to the emperor's forbidden land, and Liu Ziqiu placed them there, which was like house arrest.

Of course, Liu Ziqiu didn't know that Empress Xiao still had so many concerns, so she arched her hand with a smile and said, "Niangniang, please speak, as long as Liu can do it, she will never shirk." ”

Empress Xiao showed kindness on her face, and said slowly: "Nanyang, the eldest daughter of the palace, refuses to move to Chang'an with the palace, and insists on making peace with Yu Wenshi, so please ask Lord Liu to fulfill her wish." Also, Wan'er, the second daughter of this palace, was young, and before the first emperor gave her a title, he asked the adults to draw up a title for her and choose a good person to marry. ”

Yang Qi and Yang Yu are Yang Guang's grandsons, and after Liu Ziqiu accepts the Zen position, he will definitely take strict precautions against them, Queen Xiao does not expect them to get a good death, she is only relieved of her two daughters. Princess Nanyang is resolute, I am afraid that she will break off the mother-daughter relationship with her, and even her originally loving husband is a member of the Yuwen family, and she refuses to meet again. Empress Xiao knew that she couldn't persuade her, but she just wanted Liu Ziqiu to be able to keep her food and clothing. And the youngest daughter is only nine years old, ignorant, Queen Xiao wants to ask for a title for her, marry a beautiful family in the future, and live a happy life.

Liu Ziqiu had seen Princess Nanyang and knew that she intended to escape into the empty door. Liu Ziqiu didn't agree with Princess Nanyang's idea, but he and Princess Nanyang were not related, and it was not easy to force her. After listening to Empress Xiao's words, Liu Ziqiu nodded and said: "Liu Mou and Master Daoxin, the fourth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, have a relationship, if he has the opportunity in the future, Liu Mou will ask Master Daoxin to enlighten Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." As for the little princess, Niangniang has a title, and Liu will take care of her. ”

Empress Xiao thought for a while and said, "The first emperor Suxi traveled to Jiangdu, so let's make Wan'er a Huainan princess." ”

Only then did Liu Ziqiu know that the little princess was not called Yang Lanyue, but Yang Wan, and she was not the princess of Lanyue, but because she lived in Lanyue Building, she called herself Lanyue.

The things that should be said have already been said, and Empress Xiao has nothing to worry about, so she immediately wrote down two wills and handed them to Liu Ziqiu. Liu Ziqiu didn't take a closer look, so he sent people to Yueyang and Luoyang respectively.

These two envoys were all served by Yang Guang's former ministers, and Yu Shiji was the main envoy sent to Luoyang. Yu Shiji is Yu Shinan's elder brother, originally an old minister in the south, the best at greeting, liked by Yang Guang, entrusted with important tasks, in the big fight and Yang Guang has been attacked, and later returned to Yu Wenhua and. After Yu Wenhua was defeated by Liu Ziqiu, Yu Shiji and some other civil and military officers were taken prisoner and taken to Weiding City. This return to Chang'an was the time of employing people, and many civil and military officials were also brought over. Liu Ziqiu selected an envoy, saw Yu Shiji in the list, and remembered that Yu Shinan was now being reused by Li Yuan, so he named him as an envoy.

Yu Shiji was most greedy for life and afraid of death, knowing that he had taken on a drudgery this time, he was quite reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey Liu Ziqiu's order, so he had to leave Chang'an hard. As soon as he left Tongguan, Yu Shiji's convoy was stopped by Li Yuan's subordinates.

The one who guarded Hongnong was Li Xiaogong, who had just been transferred from Luoyang. Hearing that a convoy was coming from the direction of Chang'an, Li Xiaogong rushed over on horseback. Li Xiaogong knew Yu Shiji and knew that he was a courtier beside Yang Guang in the past, so he couldn't help sneering: "Where is Lord Yu going?" ”

Yu Shiji followed Yang Guang back then, and where did he know a low-level petty official like Li Xiaogong. But at this time and at that time, the current Li Xiaogong has a heavy army in his hands, and his bearing is naturally extraordinary. Yu Shiji didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly said: "The villain was entrusted by someone to bring a letter to Lord Li in Luoyang, and I hope that the general will make it convenient." ”

Li Xiaogong glanced at him coldly, and said lightly, "Which Master Li do you want to see?" ”

Yu Shiji hurriedly said, "It's Master Li Yuan." ”

Li Xiaogong laughed and said, "My uncle has now been promoted to the king of Tang, don't you know?" ”

Yu Shiji was taken aback, but his face was full of smiles, and he said, "That villain wants to congratulate Master Li, oh, no, it should be congratulations to the prince." ”

Li Xiaogong snorted coldly and said, "What letter did you bring, bring it to Ben Shuai first!" ”

Yu Shiji hesitated for a moment, but still took out a roll of yellow silk from his arms, handed it over, and said, "General, please take a look." The villain is just entrusted by man. ”

Huang Aya is not something that everyone can use, Li Xiaogong didn't need to look at it, he knew that it was a holy decree, and couldn't help laughing and said: "The emperor is clearly still in Luoyang, you dare to fake the holy decree!" I'm really impatient. Come on, drag him out for me, cut him down! ”

There can only be one emperor, if Li Xiaogong admits that Yu Shiji is in the hands of the holy decree, it is equivalent to him not recognizing Yang Gao of Luoyang as the emperor. How could Li Xiaogong make this kind of mistake. In fact, Yu Shiji also understood this truth, so he only said that he would send a letter, not a message, but the result was still a big disaster. Yu Shiji couldn't help but shout: "The two countries are fighting each other, don't kill them!" General, you can't kill me! ”

Li Xiaogong sneered: "Ben Shuai asked you, which country are you from?" ”

Yu Shiji said without thinking: "The villain is naturally from the Great Sui. ”

Li Xiaogong laughed: "Since you admit that you are from the Great Sui, how can you say that the two countries are fighting each other?" You are working hard for Yang Xuangan, and you are just rebellious like Yang Xuangan! ”

Yu Shiji hurriedly shouted: "The general misunderstood, the villain did not work hard for Yang Xuangan. Yang Xuangan is already dead, and the first level just passed on Tongguan a few days ago. ”

In order to prevent the leakage of secrets, Liu Ziqiu ordered all checkpoints to be strictly checked and corrected, even the caravan was only allowed to enter but not to leave, plus the spring ploughing was imminent, and ordinary people would not easily leave their homes. Although Li Yuan also has spies in Chang'an, if no one else moves, they will be exposed if they make a slight move. What's more, Zhao Ling had already arranged a lot of detailed works in Chang'an City, and these people were spying on the situation of Yang Xuangan's department on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were also keeping an eye on other detailed works in Chang'an City. It was precisely because of the strict precautions taken that such a big thing happened in Guanlong, and Li Xiaogong, who was close at hand, actually knew nothing.

Li Xiaogong was taken aback and asked repeatedly, "What?" Yang Xuan felt dead? So who is in charge of Chang'an now? ”

Yu Shiji shouted: "General, let go of the villain, so that the villain can speak." ”

Li Xiaogong waved his hand, and only then did he let go of Yu Shiji. Yu Shiji rubbed his sore arm, and then said: "The general doesn't know, the villain went to Luoyang this time on the orders of Empress Xiao. This letter was written by Empress Xiao herself, and it was given to Lord Li, oh, no, it was for the prince. ”

"Empress Xiao?" There is a Concubine Xiao in Luoyang City, who has been respected by Li Yuan as the Queen Mother, why did another Empress Xiao appear, Li Xiaogong couldn't help frowning, and said, "Where did Empress Xiao come from?" ”

Yu Shiji smiled and said, "How many more Empress Xiao can there be in this world?" Of course, it was Empress Xiao who was the mother of the world during the reign of the first emperor. ”

Li Xiaogong was taken aback and said, "Isn't she already dead?" ”

Yu Shiji waved his hand and said, "That's all rumors created by Yu Culture. The queen is alive and well, and now she is in Chang'an City, and the villain has seen it with her own eyes. ”

Li Xiaogong knew that Yu Shiji was Yang Guang's favorite minister, and since he said that he saw Empress Xiao alive with his own eyes, there should be no fake. Thinking of this, Li Xiaogong didn't dare to slack off, and ordered Yu Shiji to be escorted to Luoyang and sent directly to the Tang Palace.

Li Yuan was not in the mansion, he went to the palace early in the morning. He doesn't dare to blatantly stay in the palace now, and if he wants to be with Empress Dowager Xiao, he can only choose the day after tomorrow. However, Li Yuan is a person with great ambitions, unlike Yu Wenhua, who only knows how to have fun, and when he heard that Li Xiaogong had something important to report, he hurried up, dressed up and returned to the house. Looking at the Huang Aya sent by Yu Shiji, Li Yuan frowned unconsciously and said, "I didn't expect that Empress Xiao was still alive." What do you think of her now that she has asked me to surrender? ”

Liu Wenjing muttered: "Even if Empress Xiao is still alive, orphans and widows are just a pair of puppets. I don't know who controls Chang'an? ”

Li Yuan looked up at Yu Shiji and asked, "Lord Yu, you are from Chang'an, you should know, right?" ”

Yu Shiji didn't dare to hide it, bowed down and said: "Back to the prince, Chang'an City is now Liu Ziqiu in charge. ”

Liu Ziqiu's name, Li Yuan, and his gang had heard of it for a long time, but they had never taken it seriously. Now that I heard that Liu Ziqiu actually occupied Chang'an City, I was surprised, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

At this time, Li Shimin walked in with an excited face and said loudly: "Father, the child has been caught!" ”
