Chapter 328: Just in Case
As soon as Wang Yu came in, he saw Li Yuan's smile, glanced at the letter on the low table in front of him, and asked, "Aya, who wrote to you, so happy?" ”
She walked over, put the plate in her hand on the low table, sat down opposite Li Yuan, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over.
Li Yuan took a sip of the hot tea and said with a smile: "When I first arrived at Huitongyuan, the Emperor Taishang sent someone to summon me into the palace, but I kept dragging it and didn't go yet. However, it wasn't just me, the Emperor sent people to invite other leaders, and they didn't go either.
"So I wrote to ask them to go into town with me, and they agreed."
On his own turf, Li Yuan used to call Yang Guang the Emperor Taishang, because he supported Yang Guang's grandson Yang Yu to succeed him. However, in front of the envoys of the Sui Dynasty, he still honored Yang Guang as His Majesty, which was regarded as saving Yang Guang a trace of face.
After Wang Yu listened, he hooked his lips and smiled, picked up an orange and peeled it.
Although Yang Guang's country was divided and the army in his hands was also lost, after all, there were still 300,000 defenders in Luoyang. Even if the forces of all parties brought their troops to come, no one dared to fight the defenders of Luoyang alone.
Looking at Li Mi's attack on Luoyang for nearly a year, he knows that Luoyang is a difficult bone to gnaw.
What's more, just leading a group of 1,000 people into Luoyang City, if he went alone, who could guarantee that Yang Guang would not go back on his word and take the opportunity to destroy them? Therefore, they still have some jealousy in their hearts.
But if all the forces enter Luoyang City together, they will be much more relieved, at least in case of an accident, they can temporarily unite to deal with Yang Guang, plus their respective armies outside the city, it is enough to resist the defenders of Luoyang.
Therefore, when they entered Luoyang City at the same time, Yang Guang would have some scruples and would not dare to act rashly.
Speaking of which, these rebel leaders are all going to the emperor's throne, after all, the Sui Dynasty is an orthodox country, and the jade seal is still in the hands of Yang Guang.
The corners of Wang Yu's mouth crossed a touch of self-deprecation, and he handed the peeled orange to Li Yuan: "Aya, here you go." ”
He took another orange and peeled it, and while peeling it, he expressed his worries: "Aya, I don't think the palace should go."
"If you think about it, there are tens of thousands of you combined, and the Emperor Taishang will never let so many of you into the palace, so he will definitely cut your manpower before letting you in.
"If he wants to treat you unfavorably and arrange an ambush in the palace in advance, you will be caught in a net."
"The little girl has grown a lot, and she thinks about things more comprehensively." Li Yuan praised her, and then said, "I have already thought about these things you are worried about.
"The Emperor Taishang issued an edict of sin before, and this time he announced to the world, admitting his immorality to the people of the world, and showing that he was willing to seek peace for the people of the world. He made such a big move just to win the hearts of the people, so that he would not be spurned by the people of the world, and he would not be stinking for thousands of years.
"The Son of Heaven has always been a golden mouth, not to mention that he has sworn to the people of the world, so I thought at first that he would never go back on his word and let himself be spurned by the world again.
"But ....."
Li Yuan's face sank, and he continued: "However, over the past year or so, he seems to have changed a lot, unlike the one I knew before. I prepared for the worst, just in case. ”
Hearing the last sentence, Wang Yu was relieved, she swallowed the orange in her mouth, patted the dwarf and said: "Okay, since Aya is well prepared, then no matter whether Luoyang is Longtan or Tiger's Den, let's go and break through." ”
Her voice was impassioned, and her generous and righteous expression amused Li Yuan, "Haha, she is worthy of being my daughter, and she is very courageous." ”
"Hey......
At this time, Li Shimin and Xiao Yu came to the door, and when they saw the two of them smiling happily, they asked, "What are Aya and Xiao Yu'er talking about, smiling so happily?" ”
"Secret." Wang Yu replied and got up to salute them.
"It's all your own family, don't be polite, just sit down."
Li Yuan beckoned them to sit down and looked at Xiao Yu: "Shi Wen is looking for me something?" ”
Shiwen is Xiao Yu's character, in the past, when Li Yuan was in Luoyang, he had a good relationship with Xiao Yu, and he called each other in private.
Xiao Yu's face was entangled for a moment, but he still said: "I heard that the Emperor Taishang sent someone to invite King Tang into the palace in the past two days, I want to enter the palace with you and go to see my sister." ”
Li Yuan was silent, Xiao Yu wanted to see Empress Xiao's mood, he could understand it, but .......
"I'll be honest with you, I'm not going to enter the palace."
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were stunned: "This ...... The Emperor Taishang sent people to invite him every day, isn't it okay not to be afraid? Since you're here for a feast, why don't you pay a visit? ”
Even if they don't recognize Yang Guang as the emperor, Yang Guang is still the emperor they respect, not to mention that Yang Guang and Li Yuan are still cousins, so it makes sense for Xiao Yu to think that Li Yuan should go to the palace to meet Yang Guang.
Li Yuan didn't explain, but personally poured a cup of hot tea and put it in front of Xiao Yu: "You drink a cup of tea first." ”
Xiao Yu picked up the teacup in a daze.
When Wang Yu saw that Li Yuan said that he would not enter the palace, Xiao Yu's reaction was a little big, but Li Shimin's expression did not fluctuate, and he should have known Li Yuan's decision a long time ago.
However, Li Shimin was in charge of the deployment of troops this time, and he must have been the first to know about Li Yuan's decision.
Feeling her gaze, Li Shimin looked over and asked in a low voice, "What do you want me to do?" ”
Wang Yu peeked at and was caught, but she didn't feel the slightest embarrassment, and smiled naturally: "It's nothing." ”
He turned his head to Li Yuan and said, "Aya, if you don't enter the palace, let your uncle enter the palace, he is Queen Xiao...... Oh no, Empress Dowager Xiao's brother, the Emperor Taishang won't do anything to him. ”
"No, how can you let my uncle go to the Luoyang Palace alone? It's too dangerous" Li Shimin objected: "What if my uncle is detained?" ”
Xiao Yu said: "No, if I enter the palace alone, the Emperor Taishang will not do anything to me, after all, I am his brother-in-law, and for the sake of my sister's face, he will also let me go." ”
He put down the teacup and said earnestly to Li Yuan: "King Tang, let me enter the palace on your behalf, which can be regarded as a gesture to the Emperor Taishang and the people of Luoyang." ”
Li Yuan thought for a while, and finally agreed: "Okay, Yu Shinan will come back tomorrow, and you will enter the palace with him." ”
Xiao Yu smiled gratefully: "Thank you, King Tang." ”
"Family, you're welcome." Li Yuan said: "However, you can't let you enter the palace alone, you still have to arrange guards around you......"
"I'll be the guard."
Before Li Yuan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Yu, and seeing her excited expression, he couldn't help but splash her cold water: "How can there be such a small guard as you?" ”
Wang Yu: "......."
"Uh....... Then I'll be a scholar, and I'll go to the palace with my uncle tomorrow. ”
Li Shimin looked at her: "Do you want to go to the palace to play?" ”
"Uh......" Wang Yu thought for a while: "Sort of." ”
Li Shimin couldn't help but knock her on the head and reprimanded: "You think it's a street market, just go and play if you want to?" Not allowed to go. ”
Wang Yu: "......"
