Just when Li Shimin and Li Yuanba, the two old brothers, were discussing the reorganization of the Shenhuangwei in the apse of the Liangyi Palace, far away in the land of the Emperor of the Mountain and the Emperor, in Yuhang County, between the small buildings near the West Lake, there was a manor, and the atmosphere was very dignified.

In the main hall of the mansion in the deepest part of the manor, seven or eight middle-aged people with different appearances sat in the main hall with gloomy faces.

The three braziers that suddenly buoyant with sparks seemed to be unable to suppress the coldness in the mansion at all, and everyone's faces were so cold that they were about to freeze into ice.

Wang Hao, who was sitting in the center, his elegant face was already tired, and he said:

"For more than a month, although the main force of the Tang Dynasty's army has been placed in Shuozhou City and Hexi and other border areas, the strength of our five surnamed Qiwang state guards is still increasing, and if this continues, they will do something against us sooner or later!"

The head of the Boling Cui family, a short middle-aged man named Cui Changbo, said after hearing Wang Hao's words:

"I heard that the mysterious army of 10,000 people led by Li Yuanba, the king of martial arts, showed its might on the battlefield of Shuozhou Border Pass, which can be said to be invincible and invincible. And the most terrifying thing is that in this campaign against Xue Yantuo, this mysterious army of 10,000 people did not die a single person. This shows how terrifying the combat effectiveness of this army is! ”

"No, we can't afford to sit still! For the past month, I've been waking up with nightmares every day......"

Li Changrui, the head of the Li family in Zhao County, that is, the black and thin middle-aged man with a mustache, turned pale with fright after Cui Changbo's words landed, and kept muttering in his mouth.

Hearing Li Changrui's words, a look of disdain appeared on everyone's faces, thinking that this guy was too bold.

"Right now, the border crisis of the imperial court has been resolved. The Tang side has won a big victory, and now that the military heart is available, they will have time to free up their hands to deal with our five surnames and seven wangs, and we must come up with a foolproof plan before they do it to us! ”

Xingyang Zheng, the middle-aged fat man Zheng Changqing, who was a doctor, glanced at everyone and said.

"Or, send someone to Chang'an to get in touch with the people in the court and test the court's attitude towards us!"

Cui Changbo thought about it and said tentatively.

"No!"

Wang Hao directly denied it. He said:

"These days, the clansmen of our families will be arrested by the people of the imperial court if they come out of their respective territories, especially the clansmen sent to Chang'an City, they will not have the opportunity to enter the city at all, they will be investigated and sent to Dali Temple Prison!"

"yes!" Zheng Changqing also sighed and said, "In my opinion, the imperial court is determined to do something against our five surnames and seven wangs this time!" ”

In the lobby. For a moment fell silent.

After a long time, Li Changrui broke the calm, he looked at Wang Hao with some expectation and said:

"Brother Wang, junior brother heard that one of your Wang clan's sons and nephews has entered the Wuwang Mansion. On an errand under the Martial King Li Yuanba, why don't you contact that nephew and find out what the Martial King's tone is? ”

was reminded by Li Changrui like this, Wang Hao was obviously stunned for a moment. suddenly remembered Wang Jun, who was driven out of Taiyuan by himself in a fit of anger a few months ago.

At that time, I didn't care about this nephew at all, after all, this guy was very different from their Taiyuan Wang clan's style of acting, and he was obviously biased towards the imperial court.

This time. Even if he desperately wanted to contact Wang Jun, would Wang Jun be able to swallow that breath at the beginning?

He was silent, or rather didn't want to try it.

"Brother Wang, Brother Wang......"

Seeing that Wang Hao's expression was slightly gloomy, Li Changrui couldn't help but ask a few questions.

"This ...... I'll give it a try! ”

In the face of the life and death of the clan, the dignity of a qiē is a fart, as long as he can survive, there is still the possibility of turning the tables.

……

It was noon, and it was time for dinner, and Li Shimin had already led Li Yuanba to the Lizheng Hall to set up a hot pot.

"Second sister-in-law, don't be busy, these things are enough to eat!"

Li Yuanba sandwiched the tender and juicy mutton, dipped it in the sesame oil ingredients, and couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth, and then his face immediately showed a full . The look of the foot.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Yuanba's foodie with some amusement, and said to Empress Eldest Sun:

"Guanyin, don't worry about this guy, this stinky boy has no other skills, if you want to eat, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a second one in our entire Datang!"

"According to the concubine, the fourth brother has been fighting abroad for too long, and he hasn't eaten 'hot pot' for some days, he is greedy!"

After the eldest grandson queen finished speaking, she covered her mouth and chuckled.

Li Yuanba was not ashamed, but shrugged his shoulders proudly, and said, "What is this?" In my life, what have I wronged, I can't be wronged by this mouth! ”

"Eat yours, you can't stop your mouth when you eat!" Li Shimin angrily stuffed Li Yuanba with a large chopsticks of mutton and said.

"Hey...... Eat, eat! ”

Li Yuanba smiled, lowered his head and ate wildly.

"Your Majesty, Princess Gaoyang asks to see you!"

At this moment, a little palace maid in a pink palace dress walked in with low eyebrows and a report.

"Huh?"

Li Yuanba stopped what he was doing, and at this time he finally remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something.

"Biography!"

Li Shimin didn't see Li Yuanba's strange appearance, but waved his hand directly, and asked the little palace maid to bring Princess Gaoyang in.

"Da Da Da ......"

After a few breaths, there was the sound of light footsteps outside the hall.

Before entering the main hall, Princess Gao Yang's crisp voice sounded: "Queen Mother, Gao Yang has come to ask you for your mother's ......."

Gao Yang, who had just walked to the door and showed his head, saw the two brothers Li Shimin sitting in the apse, and the next words were not finished, he almost turned his head and walked out, while still subconsciously muttering:

"Can't see me, can't see me......"

"Gao Yang, you let me in!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly and suddenly raised his tone.

Princess Gaoyang, who was lowering her head and sprinting desperately outside the hall with small broken steps, was stiff when she heard this scolding, and then her delicate little face immediately collapsed.

She turned around, put on a sad face, and walked weakly towards the interior of the main hall.

Returning to the main hall, seeing Li Shimin and Li Yuanba sitting opposite each other, Princess Gaoyang cautiously and secretly glanced at the expressions of the two, and then knelt down very obediently and saluted:

"The son-in-law Gao Yang has seen his father and the queen mother. Niece Gao Yang, I have seen the Four Emperor Uncles! ”

"Well, good! Don't cry, uncle will buy you candy to eat! ”

Looking at the aggrieved face on Princess Gaoyang's little face, Li Yuanba felt very interesting and almost blurted out.

Resisting this impulse, Li Yuanba glanced at Li Shimin, and seeing that he didn't react, he raised his hand and said, "Okay, get up!" They're not outsiders, so what kind of kneeling prostrations are they doing? ”

While saying this, Li Yuanba was still giving Princess Gaoyang a look, and that little expression was really god-like, even ten people couldn't understand what was going on.

Princess Gaoyang Bingxue is smart, smart and cute, but she doesn't understand what it means, but she still understands one thing.

That is her own Fourth Emperor Uncle, who is still on her side.

Thinking of this, Princess Gaoyang's eyes lit up, and she stood up with a kick on her calves.

At this time, Li Shimin said: "Alas, you continue to kneel for me, hum, but you listened to the words of your Fourth Emperor Uncle very well!" ”

Princess Gaoyang looked at Empress Changsun very aggrievedly, and in her big watery eyes, tears were pouring down like a waterfall.

"Your Majesty, you see that Gao Yang knows that she is wrong, don't be angry!"

Although Empress Eldest Sun is very strict with these children, she does love them very much, and usually agrees to the children's requests.

"Guanyin, don't get used to her stinky problem!"

Li Shimin is still very clear about this daughter's thoughts and methods, pretending to cry, coquettish, and pitiful...... There is no other means than that.

Li Yuanba took a step forward, pulled up Princess Gaoyang, and at the same time turned his head to Li Shimin and said, "Brother Huang, don't be too strict with girls!" ”

Li Shimin shook his head helplessly and said, "You, it's just too good for them!" ”

"Alright, alright...... What are you crying about? ”

Li Yuanba gently touched Princess Gaoyang's little head, and gave her a continuing look.

"Wow......"

Yes, with Li Yuanba's support, a knowing look flashed on the little girl's face, and she cried even more now.

"Look at ......" Li Yuanba smiled secretly in his heart, but said on his lips: "What is crying so sadly, come and sue the Fourth Emperor Uncle, the Fourth Emperor Uncle will give you a head!" ”

Princess Gao Yang wiped her tears, her delicate little face directly turned into a little flower cat, she sobbed and said:

"Uncle Sihuang, I don't want to marry Fang Yiai, I don't want to marry that simple-minded guy with developed limbs......"

Drink, this girl is bold and speaks straight to the point.

Thinking of these in his heart, Li Yuanba pulled Princess Gao Yang to sit at the table, and said knowingly: "Gao Yang, tell Uncle Sù Fourth Emperor, who is the beloved of this house, who said that he would marry you to him?" ”

Princess Gao Yang didn't speak, but just pouted in Li Shimin's direction.

Li Yuanba pretended to be very ignorant and turned his head to look at Li Shimin, who had a straight face and had not spoken, and said, "Brother Huang, I don't know who this bereaved love is?" ”

Li Shimin glanced at Li Yuanba, he also knew that his brother had been in a coma for so many years, and he might really not know about the children of these princes and ministers.

After thinking about it, he said: "This Fang bereavement is the second son of Fang Xiang, because I have had a verbal agreement with Fang Xiang before, and now Gao Yang has reached the age of marriage, so I simply honored the previous agreement and married Gao Yang to Fang Belove!" ”

"Oh!" Li Yuanba nodded clearly, and suddenly asked, "Brother Huang, I don't know if you have ever seen this bereavement?" (To be continued......)
