When Shen Zhao's wet sleeves were raised, a few drops of rain sprinkled on Xu Xuan's face, Xu Xuan didn't care, and said with a smile on his face: "Hurry up, hurry up, why are you getting wet like this?" Butler, quickly take a dry cloth to wipe Shen Shilang, and make a cup of hot tea to warm him up. In autumn, it is easy to get cold when it rains. ”

The old butler who was standing next to him hurriedly stepped forward, handed a dry cloth towel to Shen Zhao, and poured Shen Zhao a cup of steaming tea. Shen Zhao thanked him again and again, only wiped the rain from his head and face indiscriminately, and sat on the stool next to the bed.

Xu Xuan looked at Shen Zhao with a complicated expression and said in a deep voice: "What happened?" ”

Shen Zhao arched his hand and said in a low voice: "Qi Qi Xu Xiang, earlier His Majesty summoned the envoy of the Wuping Army, who is said to be Li Yuan's sworn brother, named Liu Jiangsheng. Now I don't know what he said to His Majesty, His Majesty suddenly summoned all the officials of the Ministry of Officials to enter the palace late at night, and it was Young Eunuch Liu who personally came to deliver the decree, I am afraid that the matter is extraordinary......

At present, all the Langzhong, Wailang and the chief of the Ministry of Officials have all entered the palace, and Xu Xiang, after all, you are also the secretary of the Ministry of Officials. Because you complained of illness, I found an opportunity to communicate with Liu Shaojian in the next place, and said that I needed to report to Xu Xiang, so I came out of the hall of the Ministry of Officials, and I didn't dare to delay a step, so I came to Xu Xiang. ”

Xu Xuan nodded approvingly and said, "It's hard work." ”

Shen Zhao thanked him, reached out and took out a white jade token from his arms, got up and handed it over with both hands.

"Xu Xiang, this is what Young Eunuch Liu secretly gave me, please take a look."

Xu Xuan nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to take the flawless small jade plaque, squinted his eyes and looked at the four small characters on it, and frowned after a while: "'Xingrouyi Palace', Rouyi Palace?" Could this matter be related to the queen? What else did Young Eunuch Liu say? ”

Shen Zhao swallowed his saliva, glanced back, and finally stopped his gaze on the old housekeeper of the Xu Mansion behind him, and then turned around and whispered: "Xu Xiang, Young Eunuch Liu did say some key words......

"Oh?" Xu Xuan was stunned, raised his eyes to look at the housekeeper who had served him for many years, hesitated for a moment and waved his hand, the old housekeeper immediately understood, and immediately turned around and quietly exited the room, until the sound of the door came softly, Xu Xuan frowned and said: "Okay, if you have something to say, just say it!" ”

"Li Yuan was assassinated." Shen Zhao said in a low voice. "Young Eunuch Liu said, that Li Yuan's sworn brother Liu Jiangsheng told His Majesty about a dangerous matter, at that time, the Wuping army was from Langzhou, and more than ten assassins wearing my Tang flag armor ......"

Shen Zhao spoke very quickly and truthfully told Xu Xuan all the details revealed by Liu Shaojian, except for the attack on Li Yuan, and even informed Liu Jiangsheng of the Chuzhou private salt reported to the emperor. Tonight's events finally came down to the bloodstained silk book.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

Outside, the rain rustled, but inside the room was extremely silent, and the candle flame danced, illuminating Seo Hyun's distorted face and the trembling muscles on his cheeks.

"What a powerful, such a powerful method!" Xu Xuan suddenly straightened up, gritted his teeth and said gloomily.

Shen Zhao was silent, although he didn't understand who Xu Xuan's "powerful" meant, but he didn't dare to ask rashly, just because he knew Xu Xuan's temper, and Xu Xuan didn't like people who interjected.

"Li Yuan is known as a natural general, and he has countless elite soldiers under his command, how can he not even be able to prevent more than ten assassins? The thief spoke with a Jiangnan accent, hehe, this is not clear to tell Your Majesty, is it his own family who harmed him? And that Liu Jiangsheng happened to arrive in Beijing to face the saint when the imperial court suspected Li Yuan of plotting rebellion recently?

What an elaborate ploy. The assassin is arranged, the silk book is arranged, and the time is calculated, so powerful, really powerful, I Xu Xuan can't help but admire it......"

Xu Xuan laughed dryly, and after laughing a few times, he turned to coughing, coughing so much that he leaned down on the quilt.

"Xu Xiang is angry, take care of yourself." Shen Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and whispered comfort, stroked Xu Xuan's back, looked at the eucalyptus on the side for a moment, and then brought a bowl of potion to Xu Xuan to drink a few sips, Xu Xuan gasped and recovered.

"Shen Zhao, you did a great job. Ben Xiang originally thought that His Royal Highness was in distress in Langzhou, just because Zhou Xingfeng and Zhang Zi were too stupid, but today's words made Ben Xiang suddenly realize that Li Yuan is not only a good commander of the army, but also a resourceful person that cannot be underestimated.

In the end, we underestimated this twenty-one-year-old Metropolitan Governor, causing His Highness to suffer this disaster! Alas, in this way, Zhou Xingfeng died unjustly, and in front of Li Yuan, he also dared to be called a 'wise general'? ”

Shen Zhao said in a low voice: "Zhou Xingfeng is just a general, and he will die if he dies!" Tonight's matter is what matters, Xu Xiang, what are you going to do? According to what Liu Shaojian said, then Liu Jiangsheng had a word for the illegal salt eucalyptus in Chuzhou in front of the holy driver, it didn't look like he was telling a lie, what if it was really Feng Yanji who set up a bureau to assassinate Li Yuan? ”

"Feng Yanji?" Xu Xuan shook his head and smiled: "Does he have this ability?" In addition to flattering and currying favor in front of His Majesty, what else can he do? This bureau must have been done by Li Yuan. It may be true that Chuzhou's illicit salt is not false, and it is not uncommon for important ministers of our dynasty to participate in illicit salt trafficking, Feng Yanji and Zhang Yi, one is His Majesty's favorite minister, and the other is the brother of the noble concubine, and it is normal for them to participate in it.

But to say that they used such risky means as assassins to deal with Li Yuan, they would never believe it, if they could really get rid of Li Yuan so easily, why did Feng Yanji bother to win over his true appearance and set up a situation in Shouzhou for so long? If you are planning in secret, why bother to startle the snake and lead to the risk of falling short?

If Feng Yanji really dared to use force in secret, and recruited He Jingzhu, the Jiedu envoy, as foreign aid, why didn't he take advantage of Li Yuan's bitter battle in Chu to order 70,000 Wuchang troops to go up the river, Langzhou may be decided, and it would be too stupid to use assassins to attack a town envoy, not to mention that he coincidentally left that silk book as evidence......"

"Xu Xiang, could it be just He Jingzhu and Zhang Yi conspiring? Do you think, Chuzhou's illegal salt happened first, isn't it normal for He Jingzhu and Zhang Yi to take revenge for personal gain? Maybe Feng Yanji didn't know at all. As for Xu Xiang's statement that 70,000 Wuchang troops went up the river, although it is not unreasonable, but Li Yuan is one of the most famous generals in our dynasty, even if it is a hard battle, it is not so easy to defeat Langzhou! Shen Zhao said.

Xu Xuan suddenly had a headache, stroked his forehead and said, "Shen Zhao, I value you very much, so I give you a lot of opportunities." I think you were just a small head of the household when you entered Beijing, but it was the prime minister who recommended you to enter the Hanlin Academy, and managed to ask you to come to the ministry, and you were promoted step by step from a foreigner to a servant of the ministry, and you have not disappointed the prime minister in recent years.

But you always have a problem, that is, you are too shallow in your consideration, which is why you can't recommend you to be in charge. You can't think about it again, you ......"
