When Emperor Qianyuan was alive, there was only one vassal king, that is, his younger brother Zhuang Wangye, which was related to the shadow of his childhood, he always felt that his father did not love him, only other brothers, he naturally had no good impression of other half-brothers, after ascending the throne, most of these brothers died in the trap of death, and none of them had a good end.

This time, Li Sheng wanted to cut the domain, and the main target was actually the princes of Emperor Qianyuan, such as the four princes.

Li Sheng's throne is a little unclear, and no one knows what happened in the palace that day, but it is the failure of Emperor Qianyuan and Li Sheng's fighting, and everyone knows the result, Li Sheng took out the edict of Emperor Qianyuan, he knew that his fate would not be long, according to the edict of the first emperor, it was passed on to Li Sheng, as for the other princes, they divided the territory and sealed the king.

The four princes were named King Ning's territory, in northern Liaobei, barren and desolate; Even the second prince was crowned King Jing and ordered him to guard the imperial tomb and not enter Beijing for the rest of his life.

This will is actually the last effort of Emperor Qianyuan to protect his son, he knows that after his death, Li Sheng will not tolerate his sons, and the princes may not be willing to be taken away from the throne, the two sides will have a fight, and the result must be that the princes will be defeated! So he deliberately divided the princes into barren land, eliminating their idea of competing for the throne, and also to reassure Li Sheng.

At that time, Li Sheng led troops into the palace, and he was already suspected of forcing the palace, so in order to avoid falling into the truth, Li Sheng acquiesced in the edict of the king, which can be regarded as letting them go in disguise.

This is also a kind of transaction between Emperor Qianyuan and Li Sheng, Emperor Qianyuan let Li Sheng's throne sit justifiably, in exchange for the chance of his son's life, Li Sheng agreed, so when he succeeded to the throne, it would be so smooth, and even the matter of him bringing troops into the palace was deliberately ignored by the ministers.

However, Li Sheng was still a little jealous of several princes, and first took advantage of the state funeral to detain them in the capital and prevent them from returning to their respective territories, so that the holy decree of the king would not be considered effective, but the prince still lived in the prince's mansion in the capital, and the position was very awkward.

When Su Yunlai heard this, he understood: "It seems that Your Majesty still remembers his original situation. "I can't tolerate these princes.

Also, for the emperor, the most unbearable thing is the rebel ministers and thieves, and it is normal for him to be afraid of several princes.

Su Zhan said: "This matter was brought up by Guanyi. ”

Su Yunlai was stunned for a moment, Xu Guanyi? Xu Guanyi is good, why did he propose to cut the domain?

"Could it be Your Majesty's order?" Su Yunlai guessed.

Su Zhan shook his head: "I don't think so, when he was in the dynasty this morning, Guan Yi suddenly proposed to cut the domain, I think His Majesty was also very surprised, unlike what was discussed in advance, it should be Guan Yi's temporary idea." ”

Su Yunlai couldn't come up with a clue, but she didn't care much about cutting the domain, because whether or not she cut the domain had nothing to do with the Gu family and Su Zhan, and she didn't pay much attention to it.

It's just that Su Zhan and Xu Guanyi are both young courtiers that Li Sheng wants to reuse, and they have accompanied Li Sheng from a difficult situation together, and they are confidants and friends, so Su Zhan is a little worried about him.

Su Yunlai persuaded: "Third brother, don't worry, Xu Gongzi has always been cautious, he should have his own intentions, don't worry too much." ”

Gu Junyan glanced at her at this time, Su Yunlai blinked innocently, she didn't seem to say anything wrong, right?

Su Zhan nodded, although he still looked worried, but it was much better than the solemn and serious expression when he first came back, and he had already made up his mind to go back and talk to Xu Guanyi.

"It's not early, you can recuperate, I'll take my mother and Shuying back."

Su Yunlai bowed slightly, always feeling that Su Zhan was here to pick up his daughter-in-law and mother-in-law to return home.

In the imperial study, Li Sheng looked at Xu Guanyi standing below with an ugly face, he has always been a gentle emperor, especially for those who followed him when he was in decline, especially Su Zhan and Xu Guanyi, both of them are smart and intelligent and extremely loyal to him, they have helped him a lot, and he is even more kind to them.

It's just that Li Sheng didn't expect that Xu Guanyi, who was regarded as a smart person by him, would be so reckless!

"What the hell is going on with you? It's not such a deep person, how can he be so reckless, can the matter of cutting the feudal domain be brought up like this? Li Sheng said unhappily.

No emperor likes vassal kings, and Emperor Qianyuan can't even tolerate his own brothers, not to mention that the second prince and the fourth prince are just Li Sheng's cousins, and Li Sheng also wants to send people away, but he always has to arrange them carefully, how can he be so reckless?

Xu Guanyi was not in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the minister is well thought out," After a pause, a fierce color flashed in his eyes: "I don't know Your Majesty, the young lady was attacked yesterday?" ”

Li Sheng's expression changed suddenly, he didn't know that since Su Yun came to get married, in order to avoid injury, he deliberately ignored the matter of the Gu Mansion, so although this matter was in an uproar, he really didn't know.

"The young lady was attacked?" Li Sheng was stunned, and then angry: "Who is so bold!" Dare to attack the wife of the major general! How about the young lady? ”

Xu Guanyi's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom: "The young lady has no worries, but she hurt her arm, and the doctor said that she is afraid that she will leave the root of the disease." ”

"So serious?" Li Sheng was anxious in his heart, but even if he was in a hurry, there was no reason to pay attention to the wife of his courtier, and he couldn't help but feel gloomy again.

Xu Guanyi told him about Su Yunlai's attack, and Yumian was angry: "Beicheng is only inhabited by ordinary people, how dare you offend the general's wife!" The assailant committed suicide that night after his arrest. ”

Li Sheng's eyes flashed, and he secretly summed it up in his heart, he suddenly figured out that the rumors about Gu Junyan in the outside world were his handwriting, and later the rumors became more and more intense, and they were a little uncontrollable, but this was not what he wanted to see.

He could guess a few points of Su Yun's intention to visit the injured, it was nothing more than wanting to control public opinion, and he didn't want the people to continue to discuss, but when Su Yun came out, he was attacked and injured.

With Gu Junyan's attention to Su Yunlai, this matter will definitely not be settled, coupled with the previous incident, maybe Gu Junyan will think that he is the one who attacked Su Yunlai!

In this way, there will definitely be a gap between Gu Junyan and him!

Li Sheng thought of this, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if he really let this person succeed, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Li Sheng thought of Xu Guanyi's actions, and raised his head suddenly: "Could it be the second prince?" ”

Xu Guanyi nodded solemnly: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted and willing to let the second prince go, but the second prince is not grateful, and he is so ambitious!" Your Majesty, although the second prince was demoted to the imperial tomb by the first emperor, he did not uproot his power, you know, the second prince dared to collude with the Liao, which shows that his strength cannot be underestimated! Now that he dares to do something to the young lady, it can be seen that there is still a lot of reliance in the capital, and if he indulges his arrogance, it may threaten His Majesty's safety! ”

Li Sheng's expression gradually became solemn.

Xu Guanyi continued: "So the minister thinks that it is imperative to cut the domain! Now that the national mourning has passed, it won't be long before several princes will propose to go to the fiefdom, and if they are allowed to recuperate, I am afraid that it will become a big trouble for us! After a pause, he said again: "Even if the great grandfather is alive, I am afraid that he will also agree with the minister's point of view, please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”

Xu Guanyi lowered his head with a calm face, Li Sheng looked at him with a blank expression, and his heart wavered, but he was actually moved by him.

"This matter needs to be considered in the long run...... Li Sheng said.

Xu Guanyi said: "The minister thinks that now is the best time, several princes are in the capital, fledgling, just now uprooted, now the four seas are peaceful, the border is stable, it is the best time to calm the civil strife, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, please Your Majesty must make a decision!" ”

Li Sheng's eyes were deep and silent.

Xiaobao became Gu Junyan's apprentice, and he would come to the general's mansion every morning, and after Gu Junyan left him homework, he would go to deal with official business, leaving Xiaobao to practice in the mansion and leaving in the afternoon.

Su Yunlai likes Xiaobao very much, with him, there is a lot more fun in the daytime, Gu Junyan saw this, and became more and more satisfied with Xiaobao, and a little more indulgent.

It's just that when Gu Junyan returned to the mansion today, he found that Xiaobao was still there, sitting on the small collapse, Su Yun came to teach him how to learn words, the little guy twisted his buttocks, with a sad face, obviously very tormented, but he still sat obediently, extremely patient.

"It's not for you to lie down well, why did you get up again, what should I do if I hit the wound?" Gu Junyan couldn't help but complain.

Su Yunlai's eyes lit up when he saw him, and he pursed his lips and smiled: "It's not a big deal, in my opinion, the doctor just saw that you were nervous, so you had to look like a great enemy, but in fact, it wasn't that serious at all." After a pause, she looked at Xiaobao: "There is something in the yamen of Lord Xu today, come to Xiaobao later, I think Xiaobao will be alone when he goes back, so I will leave him for dinner together." ”

Gu Jun nodded slowly: "He is now determined to persuade the emperor to cut the domain, but the matter of cutting the domain is not trivial, and it is normal for the emperor to hesitate, not to mention that several princes are not vegetarians, and they will not sit still, it is not easy for him to achieve his goal." ”

Su Yunlai sighed slightly, at this time Jun Yao put the dishes and chopsticks, Su Yunlai beckoned Xiaobao to eat together, Gu Yanshan was not at home, there was a fight in the barracks before, although the matter was small, but the nature was very serious, Gu Yanshan was very angry, and moved back to the barracks directly to start cleaning up the military style.

Su Yunlai really likes Xiaobao, and has been serving him vegetables, Gu Junyan loves the house and Wu, looked at Xiaobao who was bored eating, and said, "After eating in a while, I will teach you a new set of boxing techniques." ”

Xiaobao's eyes lit up suddenly, he didn't like to read, but he really loved martial arts, as soon as he heard Gu Junyan's words, he immediately sped up the speed of eating and devoured it.

Su Yunlai glared at Gu Junyan and said with a bad feeling: "I took him for an afternoon, and you coaxed him back again with a word." "It's infuriating!

Gu Junyan touched Xiaobao's head, and said in a lazy tone: "We are all men, we have a common language, you women's families, what do you know!" ”

Su Yunlai was so angry! What's even more disturbing is that Xiaobao actually nodded on the side.

After eating, the master and apprentice went outside to practice martial arts, Su Yunlai looked helpless, this kid has been practicing for a day today, and he is not tired, I really don't know where he got so much energy.

After practicing for a while, Gu Junyan took the little apprentice into the house to rest, Xiaobao saw Gu Junyan's eyes shining when he saw the military book that he put aside casually, and he read it with relish when he took a copy.

Su Yunlai said: "This kid doesn't like to read, but he has a soft spot for your art of war." ”

Xiaobao ran to Su Yunlai with the book in his hand, pointed to a word on the book, and humbly asked: "Master, what do you read this word?" ”

Su Yunlai looked happy, immediately answered him, and then took the opportunity to educate: "Therefore, reading is also very important, martial arts can make you strong on the outside, but knowledge can make you strong on the inside!" ”

Xiaobao nodded thoughtfully.

Su Yunlai was very satisfied, now the little guy should be willing to read with her, right?

Jun Yao came to report that Xu Guanyi came to pick up Xiaobao, because he was a foreign man and it was not suitable to come in, Gu Junyan didn't want to see him for some reason, and if he came and went normally, he was not considered a guest.

Gu Junyan took out a letter and handed it to Xiaobao: "Give him this letter." ”

Xiaobao raised his head and looked at his master, and then took it in silence, without asking a word.

Therefore, there are so many people who want to climb to General Gu Shao, only Xiaobao succeeds, and there is a reason for that.

Xiaobao handed the letter to Xu Guanyi, and when he learned that Gu Junyan gave it to him, Xu Guanyi was quite surprised, and when he opened it, his eyes couldn't help but stare at it.

It didn't take long for Li Sheng's originally wavering attitude to make a decision, he supported Xu Guanyi's proposal and decided to cut the domain.

Xu Guanyi temporarily lived in the General's Mansion while he was busy cutting the domain.

Emperor Qianyuan was also a good emperor before, and there were many ministers who were loyal to him, this time Li Sheng wanted to move a few princes, and there were many people who opposed it, this time even the Yun family, the maiden family of the queen's mother, remained silent, and did not stand up to support Li Sheng, which shows that it is indeed not easy to cut the domain.

Su Yunlai was very strange, and when Gu Junyan came back, he asked him, "The emperor agreed to cut the feudal domain so quickly?" ”

Gu Junyan nodded, "It's not surprising, back then, the great grandfather left three tips for His Majesty to open when he encountered difficulties and doubts, the first one you already know, and the second one is to cut the domain, and Your Majesty agreed." ”

Su Yun nodded naturally, Grandpa Tai's first tip was to let Li Sheng marry Yun Huanting as the queen, in exchange for the support of the Yun family, it turned out that Grandpa Tai's strategy was right, with the support of the Yun family, Li Sheng could ascend to the throne so smoothly.

Grandpa Tai is wise and martial, he has been dead for so many years, and he can accurately predict what will happen many years later, it can be seen that his means and strategies are not comparable to ordinary people, Li Sheng also has great respect for his imperial grandfather, and when he saw the trick, he was already shaken, and immediately dispelled his concerns.

There is another reason, Gu Junyan didn't say that the assassin who attacked Su Yunlai who was caught before had committed suicide, but Gu Junyan still found a clue, he was the second prince's eyeliner left in the capital, but this time it was the fourth prince who asked him to attack Su Yunlai!

This brother, who fought to the death back then, actually established an alliance unconsciously! One of them was in the imperial tomb and the other was in the capital, complementing each other and dealing with Li Sheng together.

When Li Sheng got the news, he naturally couldn't sit still, so he made up his mind to cut the news.

This time, it was a contest between Xu Guanyi and all the princes.

Xiaobao walked into Xu Guanyi, who was handling official business, and looked at him puzzled: "What are you doing?" It's hard to be an official. ”

Xu Guanyi smiled slightly, touched his head and said: "I'm helping her avenge, Xiaobao, you will meet a woman in the future, you will want to protect her and love her, anyone who wants to hurt her should die." ”

Xiaobao looked at him as if he didn't understand, he was still too young to understand the meaning of his words, but he felt that his eyes were gentler than ever before.

Su Yunlai did not continue to pay attention to the matter of cutting the domain, because at this time, the Su family made trouble again.

The reason for the incident was that Mrs. Su wanted to give Su Zhan a concubine, because Qi Shuying and Su Zhan had been married for almost two years, but there was no movement in their stomachs, and Mrs. Su was anxious.

In fact, Su Yunlai also knew in his heart that Su Zhan had been poisoned from the snack medicine, and he was afraid that he was not in good health, so he was energetic, but others would not think so, they would only think that the lack of children was the reason for his wife, and the solution was simpler, that is, to take a concubine.

Qi Shuying is a doctor, so she naturally understands the reason, but she estimates Su Zhan's face, so naturally she won't say it, so Mrs. Su thinks that Qi Shuying is weak-hearted, and her attitude is becoming more and more arrogant, and she has begun to choose candidates.

Taking a concubine is not the same as marrying a wife, you need to be cautious when marrying a wife, but the concubine room, to put it bluntly, has a higher status than a maid, but it is just a thing, Mrs. Su, as Su Zhan's grandmother, is to give a woman to her grandson, which is also reasonable, at this point, even if Su Zhan himself is unwilling, he will also be said to be unfilial.

After all, a man just accepts a woman, and there is nothing to lose, and his straightforward refusal makes people feel inexplicable, and even ignorant of what to do.

Mrs. Su's movements were very fast, and she soon sent her own initiative to Su Zhan's yard, I heard that she bought it from an official prostitute, and she used to be a lady, her father was convicted, and the whole family was quarreled, so she was in trouble.

This girl's name is Xia Rong, she is delicate and lovely, knowledgeable, standing there slim, looking at Su Zhan with a pair of pitiful eyes, but she doesn't make people feel frivolous, she only feels pity.

Xia Rong originally felt that her life was miserable, and she was a good daughter, but as soon as she saw Su Zhan, the reluctance in her heart immediately disappeared, Su Zhan was handsome, gentle and elegant, which was very in line with the fantasy of the dream person in the woman's boudoir.

So Xia Rong stepped forward and owed a debt, "The slave serves the third young master." ”

Su Zhan didn't know that this person was his concubine, and thought that the service was just an ordinary service, so he responded casually, and Xia Rong blushed and stepped forward to unbutton Su Zhan's clothes.

Su Zhan was startled, and immediately pushed the person away, and it just so happened that Qi Shuying came in at this time!

As soon as he saw this situation in the house, Su Zhan unbuttoned his clothes, and there was a beautiful girl who looked at him pitifully and crying, which was the best state to cause misunderstanding.

"Su Zhan! I didn't expect you to be such a water-based poplar person! Qi Shuying immediately became angry, pointing at Su Zhan and scolding angrily.

Su Zhan immediately exploded: "That's not how water-based poplars are used!" It's to describe a woman! ”

Well, the focus of the quarrel between the two is different.

Qi Shuying doesn't care who this describes, he just thinks that now that he has found another woman, he begins to dislike her for being uneducated!

Qi Shuying was so angry: "Okay! I didn't expect you to be such a strange person! I was so mistaken about you! ”

The maid Lancao beside Qi Shuying also looked at Su Zhan with righteous indignation, turned to Qi Shuying and said, "Don't be angry with the third young grandmother, let's go back to the general, the general will definitely make the decision for the third young grandmother!" ”

Qi Shuying is still Gu Yanshan's righteous daughter!

Su Zhan glared at Lan Cao angrily: "Don't talk!" ”

Lancao reminded Qi Shuying, and without saying a word, she was going to pack up her things and go back to her parents' house, Su Zhan hurriedly went to stop her, and finally alarmed the Chen family, and the Chen family came to take a look, and scolded Su Zhan.

Su Zhan couldn't argue, isn't this situation misunderstood.

In the end, the Chen family said that Qi Shuying was left behind, and Su Zhan hurriedly sent Xia Rong back to Mrs. Su.

Mrs. Su didn't give up, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Zhan'er doesn't look down on this girl, it's okay, wait for grandmother to find you a better one." ”

Su Zhan hurriedly said: "Grandmother is kind, and my grandson understands it, but my grandson is busy with official business, so I don't need to take a concubine......"

Even if he and Mrs. Su are already torn apart, they are crushed to death by filial piety.

Old Mrs. Su's face sank, and she began to shout: "I know, now that you all have hardened wings, you don't take me as an old thing in your eyes, and no one listens to what you say, who am I for?" It's not all for you, you are also good now, and I am worthy of your grandfather, but there is no son and half daughter under me, and you will die in the future, and you will not even have a person to cry for you......"

After Mrs. Su's long speech, the third young master Su turned black in front of his eyes, and he only felt that his life was miserable, and Mrs. Su still used unfilial piety to suppress him, Su Zhan was speechless.

Mrs. Su turned around and continued to look for candidates.

Su Zhan had no choice but to go to the general's mansion to move the rescue soldiers.

"Ah Wan, you must save me this time, the old lady was testing me before and found an official prostitute, I heard this time that Mrs. Su has found a lot of concubines from other people, and she must have taken a lot of benefits to me!" Su Zhan said to Su Yun with an ugly face: "You have to think of a way for me, if it goes on like this, your third sister-in-law, your third sister-in-law won't tear me up." ”

Su Yun looked at him and smiled: "It's like a beautiful flower, a beautiful woman is in her arms, but it's just a woman, isn't the third brother tempted?" ”

Su Zhan's face sank: "Ah Wan! What are you talking about? Your third brother and I are the kind of people who see things differently! After a pause, he said with a serious face: "In my life, it is a gift from God to have your third sister-in-law as a companion, she is glad that she does not dislike me for being weak and sour, how dare I go to find another woman to make her sad?" ”

After Su Zhan finished speaking, he paused, and muttered in a low voice: "Besides, with the strength of your third sister-in-law, how dare I!" ”

Su Yunlai couldn't help laughing, but he admired his third brother's fear.

Su Yunlai is also very tired of Mrs. Su's behavior, she always jumps out every now and then to find trouble, she thinks, it's time to think of a way to let the people in the second room move out, and now living in the Su family, even Qi Shuying has a child, I'm afraid it is also very dangerous.

She won't let Su Zhan's child experience the same thing as him!

Thinking about it like this, her mind drifted a little away.

"Ah Wan! Don't be in a daze, hurry up and think of a way for me! Su Zhan urged.

Su Yun came back to his senses, looked at him and smiled slightly: "Third brother, it's not that there is no way, it's just that I want to ask the third brother, is reputation important, or is your persistence important?" ”

Su Zhan was stunned, Su Yunlai had never let him make such a choice, she had handled the previous things perfectly, could it be that she wanted him to be charged with unfilial piety?
