Wu Qiao once killed the prince who escorted the Empress Dowager Gu and the King of Qin on the orders of Xiao Huan, but he was respectful to the Empress Dowager Gu and the King of Qin, and the Empress Dowager Gu immediately understood that he was Xiao Huan's person.

This time, Empress Dowager Gu asked Xiao Huan for help.

According to the envoy, the Empress Dowager Gu has been very unpeaceful since she lived in the palace of King Qin, and in the middle of the night, she often felt that there was a strange noise, and after changing a few rooms, she was quiet for a few days and began to be restless, and once King Qin was so frightened that he cried for most of the night, and almost closed his breath. Empress Dowager Gu felt that it was because her father was sick, the fourth brother had already been separated from the family because of the princess, and the eldest brother and the second brother and the third brother did not agree, competing for the position of the head of the family, even if she had something to do here, her mother couldn't take care of him for the time being, and someone wanted to harm her and King Qin.

She wanted Xiao Huan to send someone to protect King Qin, and she was willing to thank him with a lot of money.

Xiahou Yu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said, "King Qin is still very young, right?" Even if King Qin and Empress Dowager Gu are killed, what does it have to do with the overall situation? Could it be that someone wants to seize the throne and is afraid that the Empress Dowager Gu will come out to stir up the situation? ”

The Queen Mother lives in the deep palace on weekdays, but when there is a problem with several princes seizing the throne or inheriting the throne, the Queen Mother can prefer who will inherit the throne, and the Queen Mother's preferences are very important at this time. Some powerful empress dowagers can even directly designate an heir to the throne.

In addition to this, Xiahou Yu couldn't figure out who wanted to kill Empress Dowager Gu.

Xiao Huan felt that Xiahou Yu's words were very reasonable.

He smiled and poured a cup of tea for Xiahou Yu, knelt down beside her, and laughed in a low voice: "It's also possible that someone wants to clean up Gu Xia, so get rid of Empress Dowager Gu and King Qin first, so as to get through the troubles." ”

"Now it's Gu Xia's illness." Xiahou Yu said with some concern, "Taking care of the Queen Mother, Gu Xia has fallen ill for the third time, and he survived the first two times, but I don't know if he can survive this time." The Gu family colluded with the five princes at this time, and even had dealings with the eldest prince. What the hell is he trying to do? The position of the head of the house is not so easy to sit in. In case the Gu family grows in power, what are you going to do? ”

The Gu family was not friendly to Xiao Huan.

Xiao Huan sighed, turned the empty teacup in his hand and said, "Then the Gu family will definitely not be able to stay." ”

This is also the reason why Xiao Huan and Gu Xia both look down on the Gu family.

There is no way to change the bloodline, if Gu Xia is gone, it is impossible for the Gu family to gain a foothold in Beiliang.

"What about Empress Dowager Gu?" Xiahou Yu asked.

Xiao Huan said: "I must send someone over." Not to mention anything else, it would be great if this team could stay with Empress Dowager Gu. ”

Because no one would have thought that Empress Dowager Gu would have Xiao Huan's people by her side, and these horses would also be protected by Empress Dowager Gu.

Xiahou Yu said: "I hope Gu Xia will wake up soon." Now he can't have an accident. ”

Although Xiao Huan was afraid of Tuoba Shou, the attitude of Jiankang City was too subtle, and he must attack the outside world first. They must straighten out the relationship on Jiankang City's side as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the throne of Emperor Beiliang is secured, they will be in trouble if they are attacked by the enemy.

"However, I think we still have to add firewood to the Gu family." Xiahou Yu groaned, "Tiger poison does not eat children. That's because this son hasn't done harm to the interests of the other sons. You say, if Gu Xia knew what the eldest son was fighting for, how would he clean up the Gu family? ”

"No one can tell!" Xiao Huan said with a smile, but he thought in his heart that in this matter, he also had to push Gu Xia.

But no matter how you calculate it, there are times when there are accidents.

What he is doing now is to make friends with the Gu family, so that the other Langjun of the Gu family can perceive his "kindness".

"I'll pay attention to this, though. You don't have to worry anymore. Xiao Huan comforted Xiahou Yu and called Wu Qiao to talk in the study.

Wu Qiao left Xiao Huan's study and left Jiankang City, disappearing.

Xiahou Youyi was asking Zhang Han about his wedding.

Lu Siniang intended to let Cui Qi Niangzi marry into Xianyang Palace with her, but because of Lu Yuan's intervention, she failed to do so. After Xie Danyang and other ministers discussed, they felt that they should still let Lu Siniang enter the door first, and nine days later, they would let Cui Qiniang enter the palace.

However, in this way, the wedding banquet will be held for at least twelve days, and it will cost a lot of money.

Fortunately, this money came from the public and was not related to Xiahou Youyi's private money, otherwise he really couldn't afford it.

Zhang Han breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The money and things have been allocated, and the specific regulations should be shown to you by Lord Xie tomorrow." ”

Xiahou nodded righteously, depressed.

He no longer had any hope for this marriage, as if he had completed a task.

The ministers of the palace and the court were very busy for the wedding of the Son of Heaven, and in mid-September, almost all the feudal officials poured into Jiankang City.

Xiao Huan's entertainment gradually increased again.

Xiahou Yu was reluctant to talk to those people, and often drank tea, ate, and chatted with the Cui family and the Wuling princess Liu, and they were also happy.

At this moment, an urgent report came from Xiangyang, saying that because of the infighting among several princes of Beiliang, the national strength was not as good as before, and because of the tribute to the imperial court, the taxes were strengthened, and some small tribes were unable to pay taxes and were slaughtered, and those who survived stumbled out and robbed Jingzhou City.

At this time, when such a thing came out, the court was in an uproar, and Xiahou Youyi's face was even more pale, and he threw the urgent report at Lu Yuan's feet, and scolded: "General, look at what this is?" However, a few horse bandits were able to rob Jingzhou City, did Jingzhou Thorn Shi grow up eating pig food? ”

The history of Jingzhou thorns was raised by Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was so angry that his face was like the bottom of a pot, he picked up the emergency report and looked at it, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "This matter still needs to be properly verified." It stands to reason that Xiangyang City has fewer people and is closer to the Beiliang border, but these people bypassed Xiangyang City and attacked Jingzhou City...... That doesn't make sense! ”

Xiahou Youyi also calmed down when he listened.

Zheng Fen saw that he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Son of heaven, I also think that this matter should be properly investigated. I haven't met Beiliang people in Jingzhou for five or six years, how can I encounter such a thing before I took office for half a year. It's not the Beiliang people who are afraid of robbery, but our own people. ”

"If you don't know, don't yell here!" Lu Yuan said angrily, "This matter really needs to be investigated." I also want to know why Xiangyang City has not suffered any losses, and I have not heard about the siege of Jingzhou. ”

Xiao Huan didn't speak from beginning to end.

Everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Huan.

Xiao Huan looked at his nose and nose, as if he hadn't heard it.

Inevitably, some people were disappointed, and all kinds of words came out, the most of which was "The people of Beiliang knew that Xiangyang City used to be the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Governor, and the soldiers brought out were all powerful, and they didn't dare to attack Xiangyang City, and they were so hungry that they had to quietly bypass Xiangyang City and besiege Jingzhou City."

Xiao Huan and Xiahou Yu also heard about it.

Xiahou Yu also joked to Xiao Huan: "You won't make the people of Beiliang frightened, right?" ”

When they said this, the two of them dispersed and whispered under the quilt.

"Am I that good?" Xiao Huan smiled, held Xiahou Yu's hand to his mouth and took a bite gently.
