Mr. Zuo traveled day and night, rushed into the capital for three nights and two days, and immediately asked for an audience.

With all the excitement and great anticipation, he didn't feel tired at all.

The words of the invitation were handed in, and almost immediately, the little chamberlain whom Mr. Xuanzuo had met trotted out and brought him in.

Mr. Zuo handed over Xie Ze's fold, carefully reported it for two quarters of an hour, and withdrew.

Watching Mr. Zuo withdraw, the prince's eyebrows flew up, and he laughed, and the emperor slapped him on the couch and pouted, "It's a group of cowards!" ”

Facing the prince's glaring gaze, the emperor hurriedly avoided it and smiled dryly, "I mean...... Hurry up and summon the king and the prime minister to discuss, this is a major matter, and the right thing is important. ”

While speaking, the emperor raised his voice and ordered to invite Wang Xiang, Zhong Xiang, Huang Shumi, and Yang Guogong...... The sooner the better, and finally instructed the little chamberlain: go and talk to the mother.

"You will preside over the discussion of this matter for a while, this is your mother's words, and the matter of recovering Shu Land will be overseen by you, and I will watch from the side."

After the emperor finished ordering, he looked at the prince and smiled:

"If this matter in Shu is really like this, the peace will be taken back, and at the end of the year, I will abdicate, what do you think?

Your father and I have been fighting in the east and west since I was five or six years old, and in the past few decades, I haven't been able to rest for a few days, and in this life, I can't be tired from beginning to end, you see......"

"Can you be idle after abdicating? Don't think about leading troops to fight, and A-Niang can't agree. ”

The prince looked at his father speechlessly.

"Let's not mention whether to bring soldiers or not, whether to fight or not, I can finally get out of the palace, I can't fight, I can take a look, make a bet or something, listen to a small song, watch an excerpt, and accompany your mother to incense or something."

"Let's talk about this later, let's take care of this important matter in Shu first." The prince was silent for a moment, then sighed.

His father looked at the bet like that, he had seen it, slapping the table and kicking the railing up and down, squirting foul language all over his mouth, as the emperor......

It's better for him to be the emperor, as the emperor, there are hundreds of officials and himself who press him, and when he becomes the emperor, isn't he the only one who presses him?

That's so hard!

When Mr. Zuo rushed into the Xuande Gate, it was already sunset, not far from dark, and when the chamberlain hurried to Wang's house and asked Wang Xiang to enter the palace immediately, Wang Xiang had just returned to the mansion, and a cup of tea had not yet been drunk.

Mrs. An is okay, Wang Xiang watched the waiter go out, and his brows furrowed.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. An looked at Wang Xiang's gloomy face, and her heart rose.

"When I came out of the imperial city, I heard that Mr. Zuo was back, and he said that he seemed to be in a hurry, his eyes were blood-red, and his lips were skinny."

"Aze?" Mrs. An's face was not very good.

"Don't think badly. I'm leaving. Wang Xiang was shouted by Mrs. An, and he was also a little confused, and after explaining, he hurriedly walked out.

Mrs. An sent Wang Xiang away, retreated and sat down under the corridor, stayed for a while, and ordered her Buddha beads to be brought and twisted the Buddha beads, but she couldn't settle down to recite the Buddhist scriptures.

Aze is too important to the Xie family, to their Wang family, and to the An family who has not yet been able to stand up.

Wang Xiang hurried to the Xuande Gate, got out of the car, and happened to see Yang Guogong Yang Rui just getting off the horse.

Yang Guogong came over a few steps, but he didn't care about etiquette, and asked, "Xianggong, what's wrong?" I heard that Mr. Zuo is back? ”

"I just heard that Mr. Zuo is back, so I'm going to get out of here." Wang Xiang didn't wait for Yang Guogong to finish asking, and he was already hurrying inside.

Yang Guogong followed closely behind Wang Xiang and hurried in.

Zhong Xiang and Huang Shumi's house were closer to the imperial city, and when Wang Xiang and Yang Guogong arrived outside the Yanfu Palace, the two were already waiting.

Seeing Wang Xiang and Yang Guogong hurrying over, Zhong Xiang and Huang Shumi rushed forward together.

"Xianggong, what's wrong?" Huang Shumi was anxious, and although he was already at the door of Yanfu Palace, he couldn't help but ask.

"Let's get inside." Wang Xiang didn't answer Huang Shumi's sentence, and he didn't know.

The four of them entered the Yanfu Hall and saw that the emperor and the prince were sitting opposite each other for dinner, and the four of them breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, and it seemed that at least it was not so bad that it was out of control.

"Have you eaten yet? Thinking that you must not have eaten yet, eat first. The emperor waved his hand at the four people who greeted him and commanded.

The four of them thanked him, and Huang Shumi couldn't help but want to ask, but was pulled by Yang Guogong, swallowed the question to his mouth hard, and sat down to eat first.

The four of them ate less and faster, the emperor and the prince ate well, and the four of them also ate well.

"Turn on the cake and tea that Aze honored me last year, and make a cup for each of them."

The emperor seemed to be in a pretty good mood, rinsed his mouth, looked at the tea handed by the waiter with disgust, and waved his hand to order.

Wang Xiangchang breathed a sigh of relief, at least Aze was safe.

"What good letter did Mr. Zuo bring, the emperor is so happy?" Yang Guogong bowed and smiled.

"Listen to what your prince says, you discuss, I listen, you say." The emperor moved, leaning back freely, looking ready to stay out of the matter.

"Show them the general's fold." The prince motioned to the chamberlain.

Wang Xiang took the letter first, read a few lines, raised his eyebrows, swept ten lines at a glance, and hurriedly handed it to Yang Guogong.

After the four of them finished reading, Huang Shumi handed the fold back, raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't have to fight this battle?" That ......"

"I can't say that yet, Wang Xiang will talk about it first, talk about Jian Guangcan and the Jian family." The crown prince looked at Wang Xiangdao.

"Yes, Jian Guangcan has a steady and simple temperament, quiet and cautious, but he often has amazing actions.

When my brother was in charge of the Qianliang Household Department, Jian Guangcan was the right squire, and once he went to Yangzhou to urge the transfer of military rations, Yangzhou Assassin Shi Du was able to prevaricate, Jian Guangcan embezzled the Qincha Pass and killed him in public.

After Jian Guangcan was promoted to deputy minister, he acted radically and became increasingly incompatible with his brother.

Jian Guangcan has repeatedly suggested that Emperor Renzong expand his horses and expand grain, and even requisition all men over the age of ten and under sixty, and suggested that Emperor Renzong burn all the grain and grass in Jiangbei and retreat to the south of the Yangtze River.

Emperor Renzong had the people of the world in mind, and repeatedly accused Jian Guangcan of being too cruel, Jian Guangcan thought that his brother had slandered in front of Emperor Renzong, and once pointed at his brother's nose and scolded him. ”

The prince frowned when he heard this, such a temperament is not like a person who can be tied up.

"Jian Guangcan has two sons and three daughters, the youngest daughter died early, the eldest daughter had a relationship with Xie Shangshu, and later married into the Sui family, when the city of Rong'an was broken, the father and son were martyred, and the Jane daughter hanged herself and went with her husband.

Jian Mingrui and Dog Shao used to have a bad relationship. ”

"Well, I heard Mr. say that Mr. is very respectful of conciseness and sharpness, talent, and outstanding demeanor, and said that when he was young, he was no less than General Xie?"

"It's still a little worse than Aze."

Wang Xiang bowed and smiled:

"Ah Shao and Jian Mingrui are good friends, he looks at Jian Mingrui, and he is naturally better than others in his eyes."

"That's pretty hard to come by, you go on."

"Yes, Jian Mingrui's ambition when he was a teenager was to be a famous man who was famous all over the world and did not follow the rules of etiquette.

Jian Mingrui and Princess Leping ......"

Speaking of Princess Leping, Wang Xiang subconsciously glanced at the emperor who was listening with relish.

"Before Emperor Renzong gave him marriage, he fell in love with each other, and Emperor Renzong gave Princess Leping to marry Jian Mingrui, also because Princess Leping was devoted to Jian Mingrui."

The prince squinted at the emperor, and the emperor flashed his gaze and lowered his head to concentrate on drinking tea.

"Jian Guangcan and Aze's grandfather are close friends, and Aze's grandmother, Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Jian Guangcan, Mrs. Han, have been handkerchiefs since childhood."

"Hmm." The prince was silent for a moment, then looked at the rest of the people: "Let's talk about it." ”

"If you can recruit back to Shudi, the world will be lucky, and you should go all out." Yang Guogong owed himself first.

"This is just speculation, although it is very different, but based on speculation, you can send people into Shu to surrender, in case, the face of the imperial court ......"

"Face is a small thing." The emperor waved his hand to Huang Shumi.

Huang Shumi fought with him, but all the courtiers who fought with him were very rough.

"When the imperial court officially sends someone over, it's almost there." Yang Guogong looked at Huang Shumi and smiled.

"Would you like to ask Old Man Xie to go first?" Vice Minister Zhong twisted his eyebrows and suggested.

"Jane's descendants moved into the capital to live, and the rest can return to their ancestral hometown, or go to the capital, but they can't stay in Shu.

The subordinate officials of the Shu Prefecture are appointed separately, and the local officials are not moved, and they are returned to the household department, which is equivalent to the officials of the imperial court, and the Shu army can be handed over to the command of the An brothers, but they have to be transferred to the north for training.

I'm thinking about this for now, what about you? ”

The prince's words were concise and clear.

"The rest are details, the prince's three articles, the old minister seconded the proposal." Wang Xiang bowed in agreement.

"Well, this matter is urgent, annoying Wang Xiang will take a trip, please take a trip to see Jian Guangcan."

The crown prince looked at the prince and ordered.

Wang Xiang hurriedly got up and agreed.

"This matter should not be publicized for the time being, Huang Shumi looked at the dispatch everywhere, and everything was as usual. Zhong Xiang and Yang Guogong now began to sort out the livelihood of the officials in Shu. The king stayed for a while. ”

The prince made a very quick decision, and watched the three of them go out of the main hall, the prince looked at Wang Xiang and said: "You go back and ask Mrs. An to write a letter, and see if you can ask the old ancestor of the An family to take a trip to Shu and see the old days." ”

"Yes."

"Tell Old Man Xie that the relocation of the Jian family to the capital is for the good of the Jian family.

Although Jian Xiang is not called the emperor, he just does not call the emperor, if he stays in Shudi, Daddy does not suspect them, and I will not doubt them, but what about later?

moved into the capital, a few decades later, everyone was confused, and the matter of Shu was the matter of the old paper. ”

The prince continued.

"This is the benevolence of the crown prince. Jian Guangcan and Jian Mingrui are both extremely smart people, and the prince can rest assured. ”

"Well, let's talk to Old Man Xie again, don't rush on the road, he is old and focuses on his body. Take care of yourself, but also for the sake of national affairs. ”

"Yes." Seeing that the prince did not speak again, the king took a few steps back, said goodbye, and hurried to the outside of the city to Xie Zhuangzi.
