The guy with the obscene image was none other than Zhao Ling, and his speech was also yin and yang: "This official doesn't care which of you is the chief envoy and who is the deputy envoy." There is only Yu Shinan's name on the document, and the official only asks Yu Shinan to see my father-in-law. You're not Yu Shinan, what are you yelling about? If you shout again, I will tie you up outside the gate and show you! ”

In fact, Li Jiancheng didn't have to go to see Liu Ziqiu, but he understood that only by leaving this heavily guarded military camp could he have a chance to escape. But Zhao Ling looked aggressive, and Li Jiancheng had no choice but to give up, otherwise he might really hang himself under the gate.

Yu Shinan had no choice but to pack up a few documents, and followed Zhao Ling out of the barracks with two entourages, and went straight to Xiudefang.

Xiudefang is next to Xuanwu Gate, in the northernmost part of Chang'an City, while the military camp is in the southernmost part of Chang'an City. From the barracks to Xiudefang, you need to pass through the entire Chang'an City. Along the way, you can see that most of the shops on both sides of Chang'an Street have opened, and the streets are full of people, but it seems to be more prosperous than Luoyang. Entering Xiude Fang, it was a different scene. The mansion here originally belonged to the dignitaries of the court, but now they have been requisitioned by Liu Ziqiu, and a number of civil and military officers under him are now living here. Therefore, it is similar to the military camp, and it is also heavily guarded. Even if Zhao Ling leads the way, he still inevitably has to be interrogated.

The team finally stopped in front of a house, and the two gatekeepers stepped forward to check Zhao Ling's waist card, and searched the bodies of Yu Shinan and the two entourages to make sure that they were not carrying weapons, and then said: "You guys are waiting here!" ”

Yu Shinan asked with some surprise: "Lord Zhao, who is this Liu Ziqiu?" Why do you have to wait outside the door? ”

Zhao Ling grinned and said, "Who is my father-in-law, Lord Yu will know when he sees it." My father-in-law said that he and you are old acquaintances. ”

After leaving the barracks, Zhao Ling became polite to Yu Shinan, and no longer called him by his name, but changed his name to Lord Yu. Yu Shinan felt a little strange at first, but at this time, he realized that Zhao Ling had already known that Liu Ziqiu knew him, so he was courteous to himself. In the barracks just now, Zhao Ling's pretentiousness was only for Li Jiancheng to see. It's just that since he knows that he and Liu Ziqiu are old acquaintances, why is he still investigating so strictly along the way? What's more, the name Liu Ziqiu, Yu Shinan has no impression in his mind, and he doesn't remember that he has such an old acquaintance.

With a stomach full of questions, Yu Shinan entered the house. I saw a young general come out of the hall and laughed: "Mr. Yu, it's been a long time!" ”

Yu Shinan glanced at it, and only felt that this young general was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him, so he had to arch his hand and said: "I don't know where the general started to say this?" ”

The young general stroked his palm and smiled: "Mr. Yu is really a noble man who forgets things. Liu recited a poem, and Mr. Yu must be able to remember it. Drink the dew, and the sound of dredging is clear. Raising his voice from afar, it is not the autumn wind. ”

Hearing this poem, Yu Shinan was taken aback, and said continuously: "You, you are the one who broke into the Forbidden Palace at night!" ”

The young general nodded and said, "Not bad! It was Liu Ziqiu below. I can't imagine that Luoyang will say goodbye, and for nearly three years, I can have the opportunity to meet Mr. Yu again, which is really a great joy in life, and it should be a big white! ”

Yu Shinan is a nerd, and when he learned that Liu Ziqiu was the night walker who came up with the last sentence of "Cicada", he suddenly forgot his mission, and said again and again: "I didn't expect you to be Liu Ziqiu!" When I heard that you broke into the Forbidden Garden at night and later died under the cliff of Xishan, it turned out to be a lie. I wonder what new works Master Liu has? ”

Of course, Liu Ziqiu can't write poems, even if he still has a few Tang poems in his memory, he can't just take them out and show them. Otherwise, when these limited Tang poems are used up, then there really won't be a single one. Therefore, after listening to Yu Shinan's words, Liu Ziqiu only smiled and waved his hand, and said: "The world is in turmoil, and the people are miserable, where does Liu still have any thoughts to compose poetry?" When the world is settled, Liu and Mr. Yu will have a long talk all night, what is it? ”

Yu Shinan thought about Liu Ziqiu's words very seriously, and suddenly straightened his body and said, "Listening to Lord Liu's words, Yu Mou's mouth suddenly opened. Lord Liu cares about the people, which makes Yu admire. I don't know how Lord Liu will calm the world and return the people to a happy world? ”

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Mr. Yu, the counties of Hexi, Guanlong, Huainan, and Jiangbiao are all under Liu's control!" The Eastern Turkic Mulin Khan and the Dumi Khan, as well as the Western Turkic Xue Shixiong Khan, were also willing to obey Liu's orders. If there are many heroes today, the strongest is Li Yuan who occupies Luoyang, Xiao Mo who occupies Yueyang, Liu Wuzhou who occupies Lou Fu, and Zhai Rang who occupies Xingyang. The rest are like Wang Bo, Xu Yuanlang, Lu Mingyue and the like, but Cao Koer, as soon as Liu's army arrives, it will definitely collapse. ”

After a pause, Liu Ziqiu continued: "Liu Wuzhou colluded with the Eastern Turks to plague the people of my Great Sui, and Liu naturally can't spare him!" Du Jishi has been beheaded by Liu, and Liu Wuzhou's death is not far away! Zhai Rang is also a grass coward, although he defeated Zhang Xutuo's department and the military power was greatly inspired, Liu Mou has not taken him seriously, and sooner or later he will set foot on the tile gang. As for Li Yuan and Xiao Miao, Liu Mounian said that they were both former ministers of the Great Sui, so he gave them a chance to surrender. As long as these four soldiers and horses are wiped out, why worry about the injustice of the world! ”

Yu Shinan saw Liu Ziqiu's big words, frowned and said, "How can Lord Liu have such confidence that he can guarantee victory?" If Li Yuan and Xiao Mo don't fall, what should they do? ”

He is not stupid, he does not call Li Yuan the prince in front of Liu Ziqiu, but calls him by his name.

Liu Ziqiu didn't say where his confidence came from, but just smiled: "If Li Yuan and Xiao Mo refuse to surrender, Liu should be captured!" ”

Only then did Yu Shinan remember his mission and said: "Lord Liu doesn't know, Yu came here this time to write a letter for Li Yuan and welcome Empress Xiao back to Luoyang. ”

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand without thinking and said: "The queen mother has been promoted to the queen mother, where she is willing to go, Liu can't be the master." ”

Yu Shinan hurriedly said: "I wonder if Lord Liu can let Yu meet his mother?" ”

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said, "Why not? Mu Duoli! ”

With his shout, a beautiful alien woman turned from behind the screen, bowed down and said, "What is the master's command to call the slave?" ”

Liu Ziqiu pointed at Yu Shinan and said, "Madam, I'm bothering you to send Mr. Yu into the palace." ”

Mu Duoli smiled and made a gesture towards Yu Shinan: "Mr. Yu, please!" ”

In fact, before coming to Chang'an, Li Yuan and others had always been quite suspicious of whether Empress Xiao was still alive, and they didn't believe Yu Shiji's words. But Yu Shinan didn't expect Liu Ziqiu to agree to let him enter the palace to meet Empress Xiao so soon, which can only show that Empress Xiao is indeed alive. Empress Xiao's status is naturally much higher than that of other concubines, and she recognizes whoever is the emperor is the orthodoxy of the Great Sui. From this point of view, whoever controls Empress Xiao is equivalent to controlling the orthodoxy of the Great Sui. Yu Shinan somewhat understood Li Yuan's intention to welcome Empress Xiao back to Luoyang. But precisely because Empress Xiao is too important, I am afraid that Liu Ziqiu will not let her go easily.

Thinking of this, Yu Shinan arched his hand again and said: "Lord Li Yuan said that if Lord Liu is willing to let his mother return to Luoyang, he will be willing to turn his rivalry into a jade silk with his lord, and from now on he will be a minister in the same hall and share the glory." ”

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "It's not that Liu can't let it go, but whether the Empress Dowager herself is willing to go." However, Liu also said that. As long as Li Yuan is willing to surrender to the Empress Dowager and take the initiative to hand over the military power, Liu can say a few kind words for him in front of the Empress Dowager, keep his title, and make him a rich man. ”

The requirements of both parties have actually been clearly stated in the documents, and Yu Shinan also knew that this was an impossible task, so he had to say: "Then Yu Mou has met Niangniang first." ”

Different from the Luoyang Palace, after entering the Xuanwu Gate, there was no more warrior in the palace, and the palace maids and attendants who came and went were all smiling, and there was no trace of sorrow. He had already taken them to a side hall in Daxing Palace, and said, "Please wait here Mr. Yu, and the slave will go to report to Niangniang." ”

Yu Shinan was very surprised, because he knew very well that in the Luoyang Palace, Empress Dowager Xiao was also Concubine Xiao in the past, and her scope of activities was only limited to that small dormitory, and she couldn't even step out of the door of the dormitory. According to his understanding, Empress Xiao's current situation should be the same as Concubine Xiao's, all of them are puppets. Liu Ziqiu can let Empress Xiao move freely in Daxing Palace, which is very incredible.

After a short time, a team of cars slowly came from the palace, and Empress Xiao walked into the side hall surrounded by all the palace maids.

Yu Shinan used to work as a secretary under Yang Guang and often went in and out of the palace, so he knew Empress Xiao. I saw that Empress Xiao's beauty was the same as in the past, especially the graceful and luxurious temperament, which others couldn't disguise. Yu Shinan only glanced at it, and knew that this was the fake Empress Xiao, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Minister Yu Shinan knocked to see Niangniang." Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose. ”

Empress Xiao also knew Yu Shinan, raised her hand, and said, "Yu Aiqing is flat." The mourning family asked you, Li Yuan saw the will of the mourning family, is he willing to surrender? ”

Yu Shinan had to bite the bullet and said: "Back to Niangniang, Master Li wants to ask Niangniang to return to Luoyang." ”

Empress Xiao sneered: "Does Li Yuan want the mourning family to be his puppet? ”

Yu Shinan hurriedly said: "Niangniang misunderstood. Lord Li invited Niangniang to return to Luoyang Palace and establish a new monarch, all up to Niangniang. ”

A woman with two swords standing beside Empress Xiao shouted, "Bold! Li Yuan calls himself the King of Tang, and he filthy the palace, do you still want to be rude to your mother! ”

The woman didn't speak just now, but Yu Shinan didn't notice her. Only then did I recognize that this woman was not one of the two personal guards around Yang Guang named Xue Ye'er? Since Xue Ye'er is still following Empress Xiao, is Empress Xiao really free?
