With a stomach full of questions, Yu Shinan continued: "Niangniang, don't worry, Master Li should have no malicious intent. It is only right for Niangniang to return to the Eastern Capital as soon as possible. ”

He has no confidence in this sentence, everyone is a smart person, what is the situation in Luoyang, and who can he hide it?

Unbeknownst to her, Queen Xiao laughed: "Lord Yu, you are mistaken." Chang'an is the capital of the Great Sui, and Luoyang is just the eastern capital. The mourning family doesn't stay in Chang'an, but they want to go to Luoyang, is that still right? If Li Yuan is really loyal to the imperial court, then let him come to Chang'an. ”

After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he spent most of his time in Luoyang, which made people forget that Chang'an was the capital of the Great Sui. It's just that when I think about it, Yang Guang really never gave an order to move the capital, but just declared Luoyang the eastern capital the year before last. Since Chang'an is the capital of the Great Sui, the so-called welcoming Empress Xiao back to Luoyang proposed by Liu Wenjing is not valid at all.

was broken by Queen Xiao's words, and Yu Shinan, who is known for his erudition and talent, couldn't help but be embarrassed, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "What Niangniang said is that Weichen will go back to Luoyang to report to Lord Li." ”

Yu Shinan was not in a hurry to leave Chang'an, but he knew that Li Jiancheng had been identified by Liu Ziqiu, so he would face unknowable danger at any time, and the only way to return to Luoyang as soon as possible was to take him back to Luoyang.

Empress Xiao smiled and said: "Yu Aiqing has not completed Li Yuan's mission, and it will be difficult to pass the test when she returns to Luoyang, so it is better to stay in Chang'an." The mourning family has long heard that Aiqing's poetry and calligraphy are famous all over the world, and there is still a lack of a secretary in the palace, so Aiqing should not refuse. ”

Yu Shinan didn't have a family, he was alone, and it didn't matter where he stayed. But he is a trustworthy person, since he took the initiative to ask for orders to come to Chang'an, although it was not completed, he also had to go back and give an explanation to Li Yuan, if he stayed in Chang'an, what would it matter? Thinking of this, Yu Shinan shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that Weichen can't obey!" ”

Empress Xiao is actually very smart, and many things are difficult to escape her eyes, but she is timid by nature and does not dare to face power. Yu Shinan's little caution was hidden from Queen Xiao's eyes. Empress Xiao smiled and said, "The mourning family heard that Li Jiancheng also arrived in Chang'an. If he doesn't come to see the cousin of the mourning family, can't he even do the errand of delivering a message to his father? ”

When he first arrived in Chang'an, Yu Shinan and Li Jiancheng were under house arrest in the barracks, he never thought that Liu Ziqiu would let him see Empress Xiao, let alone that even Empress Xiao knew about Li Jiancheng's arrival in Chang'an. Yu Shinan completely believed that Empress Xiao was indeed a free body, and she could know the dynamics of the world at any time. Since she was doing well in Chang'an, how could Empress Xiao go to Luoyang for an adventure?

Yu Shinan no longer shirked, and said, "Wechen is willing to stay in Chang'an." Weichen went to ask Lord Liu to let Li Jiancheng go back to his life. ”

Empress Xiao waved her hand and said, "Okay, you can step back first." But he said, "It was Madame Mudori who sent you to the palace." Ask the lady to come in, and talk to her about the mourning family. ”

Yu Shinan still doesn't know who the woman who brought him into the palace is. But listening to Queen Xiao's tone, it seems that she is very familiar with her.

How did he know that Empress Xiao was indeed free in the palace, but except for three women in the huge Chang'an City, no one else was allowed to enter the palace at all. These three women are Liu Ziqiu's two wives, Lin Qiaoer and Mu Duoli, and Wen Hao's wife, Fan Lihua. Liu Ziqiu and his subordinates never set foot in the palace in order to avoid suspicion. Empress Xiao was very bored in the palace, far less comfortable than in Weiding City, so she looked forward to the three women entering the palace to gossip with her.

What Yu Shinan didn't know was that in the few days they were imprisoned in the barracks, Liu Ziqiu sent his two women into the palace in turn, which persuaded Empress Xiao to see Yu Shinan. Because Empress Xiao had already had the idea of retreating, she didn't plan to take care of political affairs anymore.

Yu Shinan was not a foolish and loyal person, for him, whether it was Nan Chen or Da Sui, or Liu Ziqiu or Li Yuan, as long as he could give him the opportunity to show his talents, he would be on his side. Returning to Liu Ziqiu's mansion, Yu Shinan had completely figured it out, and arched his hand and said: "My subordinates will follow the lord from now on, and please let Li Jiancheng go back to Luoyang for the sake of you and me." ”

Liu Ziqiu frowned and said, "What if Liu refuses to let him go back?" ”

Yu Shinan hurriedly said: "Yu was ordered to go to Chang'an, but he was stranded and did not return, and he felt sorry for Li Yuan. If he can save his son, Yu Mou's heart will be somewhat stable. As long as the lord agrees to let him go back, Yu is willing to tell two secrets. ”

Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said, "Since it's your secret, it's okay if Liu doesn't listen to it." As for Li Jiancheng, if you don't intercede for him, Liu will let him go back. Although Liu knew that he was not an envoy to Chang'an, he did not know for what purpose he was mixed in the middle of the mission. However, in order to avoid war in the world, Liu still hopes to peacefully resolve the dispute with Li Yuan and Xiao Miao. Therefore, Liu will not hurt Li Jiancheng, and there is no need to take him hostage. ”

Yu Shinan knew how open-minded Liu Ziqiu was, thinking that he was actually blackmailing him with a secret, and he was using peace of mind as an excuse, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and hurriedly said: "Lord Qi." Li Jiancheng came to Chang'an in order to contact the Li family in Longxi and wanted to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. There is also a secret, that is, Li Yuan sent Li Shimin, Li Xuanba and the eldest grandson Wuji to Jiangnan, which is not conducive to Lord Liu's wife and children! ”

"Li Jiancheng wants to see the people of the Li family in Longxi to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, just to use the power of the family. The head of the Li family in Longxi is now in Chang'an City, and Liu might as well arrange for them to meet. Liu didn't believe how much help they could get from the family! Speaking of this, Liu Ziqiu frowned, "Liu does have a beloved wife in Jiangnan, and few people know about it, but I don't know where Li Yuan got the news?" Liu doesn't seem to have an heir, so where does his son start? ”

Yu Shinan didn't dare to hide anything at this time, and hurriedly said: "These news were told to Li Yuan by a person named Xiao Dapeng. Xiao Dapeng was Xiao Concubine's cousin, and he wanted to help Xiao Concubine regain the government, but was captured by Li Yuan. According to him, the beloved wife of the lord bore you a son. ”

Liu Ziqiu's face suddenly changed. Liu Ziqiu remembered very well that he took pity on Gao Xiu'er when she was too young and gave her a prescription to cut off the birth. Since she had already taken the maternity prescription, where did this son come from? Liu Ziqiu was suddenly confused, he and Gao Xiu'er lived and died together, and he didn't believe that Gao Xiu'er would change his mind. But if Gao Xiuer really changes his mind, how will he face it?

Anxiously walking back and forth in the house countless times, Liu Ziqiu gradually calmed down and asked in a deep voice, "How long have they been there, Li Shimin?" ”

Yu Shinan pinched his fingers and calculated, and said, "I'm afraid it's been ten days." ”

When he set off from Luoyang to Chang'an, Li Shimin had already left. And he delayed in Tongguan for a few days, and was placed under house arrest in the barracks for many days. If everything goes well for Li Shimin to go to Jiangnan, I'm afraid that it has already arrived at this moment.

In just a moment, Liu Ziqiu had already made up his mind, no matter whether Gao Xiu'er did anything to be sorry for him, he would never let Gao Xiu'er and that child fall into Li Yuan's hands, he would personally go down to Jiangnan to rescue Gao Xiu'er!

However, Liu Ziqiu is a person who does great things. Before leaving, he still explained a few things. The first is to arrange for Li Jiancheng and Li Changshan to meet. The second is to order Wen Hao and Zhang Liang to lead an army out of Hongnong, looking for an opportunity to have a decisive battle with Li Yuan's military horses stationed in Hongnong, and only win but not lose.

arranged for Li Jiancheng to meet Li Changshan and Li Changfeng in order to make Li Yuan completely dead and understand which side the family would be on now. Ordering Wen Hao and Zhang Liang to find Li Yuan's military horse for a decisive battle was also to hit Li Yuan's confidence through war. If these two things are all achieved, Li Yuan will have no choice but to surrender.

After arranging all this, Liu Ziqiu himself quietly led fifty elite guards to disguise themselves as caravans and left Chang'an City.

said that Li Jiancheng was under house arrest in the military camp for three days, and finally saw Yu Shinan again. At this time, Yu Shinan had already changed into an official uniform, and with dozens of fierce warriors behind him, he arched his hand towards Li Jiancheng and said, "Master Li, Yu has surrendered to Lord Liu." Yu also asked the eldest prince to bring a letter to Lord Li. Those who know the times are junjie, and it is the best policy to return to the party as soon as possible. ”

Li Jiancheng said angrily: "Okay, you Yu Shinan, you dare to eat inside and out!" ”

Yu Shinan was not angry, and said with a smile: "Why did the eldest prince say this? If there is no Yu, the eldest prince is afraid that he will not be able to return to Luoyang in this life. ”

Only then did Li Jiancheng understand his situation, so he had to hang his head and say, "Okay, you let me go." ”

Yu Shinan waved his hand and said, "I'm not busy." Yu also followed Master Li, and he had to do something for Lord Li. Yu remembered that the purpose of the eldest prince was not Chang'an, but Longxi. Yu was lucky enough to meet the two heads of the Li family in Chang'an City, and specially arranged for the eldest prince to meet them. As for the specific matters, please ask the eldest prince to interview them, whether it is successful or not has nothing to do with Yu. Yu can do this step, and he can be regarded as worthy of Master Li's kindness. ”

Li Jiancheng knew that the matter was irreparable, and he couldn't wait to fly back to Luoyang immediately, so he gritted his teeth and said, "That's good!" Where is the head of the Li family in Longxi? I'm going to see them now! ”

Yu Shinan laughed and said, "The eldest prince is really an acute son. Don't worry, Yu will send the eldest son to meet the two family heads. ”

It has been nearly a month since Li Changshan and Li Changfeng's brothers arrived in Chang'an, but they have not been able to get Liu Ziqiu's reception. The reason is very simple, the Li family still wants to continue to control Longxi, but Liu Ziqiu wants to make overall arrangements, and the conditions of the two sides cannot be negotiated for a while, so this side will naturally not be able to be seen.
