Shangguan Yangyu is the ugly Yin of Chang'an Mansion since the founding of the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, and there is a natural feeling of obscenity from the inside out.

is famous for his ugly appearance, and naturally it can't be pleasant, but neither he nor his old wife can deny this, so standing in the magnificent and solemn hall, he feels more and more ashamed of himself, the sweat on his head is getting more and more, and his triangular eyes are flashing constantly.

Li Yu has seen Shangguan Yangyu several times, and knows that he is extremely ugly, but every time he sees him, he always feels that this person's ugliness seems to have some new meanings, which makes people can't help but feel disgusted.

But she controlled her expression very well, and her words were extremely respectful, as warm as a spring breeze, because she knew very well that this Fu Yin had very rare strength and talent under such an unbearable appearance, otherwise she would not have been able to do it in this critical and tricky position for so many years.

Li Yu is very practical, as long as she is really talented, even if she knows that Shangguan Yangyu's conduct is as unbearable as her appearance, and she is extremely cunning and corrupt, she will vigorously accept it.

And even if Shangguan Yangyu has many inappropriateness, he has a beautiful talk: after he became famous, he did not abandon his mediocre-looking wife, and now he still has a deep relationship with his old wife.

This made Li Yu appreciate it very much, coupled with the importance of the position of Yin in Chang'an Mansion, so after the new emperor ascended the throne, the first minister she saw in the palace was this person.

It stands to reason that for Shangguan Yangyu, this is a God-given opportunity, for him, who has never known the word morality, to worship Her Royal Highness the princess and the new emperor, there is no psychological barrier, in the face of the faint revelation of the solicitation between His Royal Highness's words, he should immediately bow to the head.

However, to Li Yu and a few people in the palace, he was a little surprised that Shangguan Yangyu's attitude was respectful and kept greeting. He even wanted to lie on the ground and kiss Li Yu's instep, but as long as the conversation became a little deeper, he would stare at him like an idiot, and he didn't know how to answer at all.

......

......

Li Yu frowned slightly, of course she knew that Shangguan Yangyu couldn't be so stupid that she couldn't even understand her own words, so this person pretending to be stupid could only show that his attitude and that of some courtiers was still not firm enough.

What made her even more depressed was that the second person she wanted to see today refused to enter the palace!

The chief eunuch and the grandmother kept scolding the man's disrespect, looking indignant. It seems that he can't wait to send the Yulin Army to arrest that person into the palace to punish the crime.

"Shut up. ”

Li Yu shouted, waving his hand to drive out all the eunuchs and maids in the hall and the nearest grandmother.

Chao Xiaoshu is not an ordinary person, even though she has such status and power now. I still don't dare to be rude, let alone think about touching this person.

He is the underworld leader of Chang'an City, even if he hasn't asked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes for many years, after returning to Chang'an City last year, he hasn't paid attention to the help of the Fish and Dragon Gang. But everyone knows that the night world of Chang'an City is still under his rule.

However, if Chao Xiaoshu was just a big man, any minister in the court would not take a second look, and naturally Li Yu would not be so annoyed.

The key is that Chao Xiaoshu is a great cultivator who knows the realm of fate. has a brotherhood with her father, and she has to call her second uncle when she sees each other, and it is because Chao Xiaoshu has many good brothers who are willing to die for him. And those good brothers are even related to the safety of Chang'an City in some ways.

After the eunuch and palace maid were kicked out, Li Yu was not the only one left in the palace, but there was also a middle-aged minister, who was Mo Han, a scholar of Wuyingdian University who entered the cabinet four years ago.

"Your Highness, don't worry for the time being. Chao Xiaoshu refused to enter the palace. It does not represent his opinion of His Royal Highness, he refused the official position conferred by His Majesty back then. Drifting out of the palace, he has already shown his attitude, today is just a continuation of the day, and he wants His Highness to understand his determination to participate in court politics. ”

Mo Han said with a smile.

Li Yu frowned slightly and said: "Chang San Fei Liu is quite popular in the Yulin Army, Liu Wu is now the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and Chen Qi has become Xu Chongshan's right-hand man after returning to the guard, these people only obey the orders of Xiaoshu, if their father is alive, they naturally dare not have different intentions, but now that his father has passed away, what does Chao Xiaoshu think, how dangerous is Chang'an City? ”

Mo Han's smile gradually narrowed, and he asked rhetorically, "Then what does Your Highness think about dealing with Chao Xiaoshu?"

Li Yu was silent for a long time, understood what the scholar meant, and said: "This is an old matter arranged by my father, and it can only be changed by time, and neither I nor the queen mother can handle it." ”

Mo Han said with appreciation: "It is this reason, His Majesty created the Fish and Dragon Gang among the people, which seemed inconspicuous, and was even directly denounced as nonsense by the imperial history, but who would have thought that those people in the Fish and Dragon Gang back then have now become such important figures? These people will only be loyal to the first emperor, then they will inevitably be loyal to the heir designated by the first emperor, that is, our emperor His Majesty, His Royal Highness does not have to do anything, just need to maintain the good of the Tong family according to the old practice, I think that Chao Xiaoshu naturally understands His Royal Highness's intentions." ”

Li Yu said: "What the scholar said is reasonable, and the palace will make arrangements later." ”

"Yulin Army, Xiaocai Battalion, Guards, except for the first emperor, no one can reach inside, including the queen mother and His Royal Highness the Prince, so many people died in the Spring Breeze Pavilion on a rainy night, it was the announcement made by the first emperor about this, so in Yichen's opinion, there is no problem with the safety of Chang'an City. ”

Mo Han's expression gradually became stricter, and he said, "What the minister is worried about is outside the border. It is rumored that on the wasteland, the dean drew his sword and fought with Haotian, only then did the Xiling coalition army turn against each other, although the first emperor led the iron cavalry to break the enemy army, but now that the dean has gone, the first emperor has passed away, and the Xiling Temple will definitely not miss this opportunity. ”

"Although my Tang Dynasty is strong, but has become a public enemy of the world, surrounded by strong enemies, if you don't pay attention to it, you will fall into a stormy situation, it is reported that the prince of Longqing, has led the cavalry of the Left Tent Palace, under the banner of fighting the Tang Dynasty, ready to borrow the Yan Road to the south. His Royal Highness should advise His Majesty the Emperor to think more about the affairs of the army and horses, instead of putting these small things in the court, and the external enemy must not give birth to internal strife. ”

Li Yu knew that the scholar was referring to the two things of Qin Tianjian and Tianshu, and his expression was slightly awe-inspiring, and he was very grateful that the scholar could point directly at His Majesty's fault. Said: "Scholar, please rest assured, I will go and talk to His Majesty." ”

Mo Han nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

Li Yu said again: "The matter of the Zuo Tent Wangting's attack on the Tang Dynasty, the scholars don't need to worry too much, Longqing's so-called southward journey, the world knows that it is directly pointing to the throne of Yan State, Prince Chongming and I have a deep friendship, which has long been expected, General Xian Zhilang is resourceful, and naturally knows how to act." ”

Mo Han, as a minister who Her Royal Highness the Princess has supported in recent years, is naturally a confidant among his henchmen. Of course, he knew that Xian Zhilang was His Royal Highness's person, and he was a little relieved when he heard this.

"Yanjing's border provocation can be ignored for the time being, what the minister is really worried about is the north. ”

Mo Han said worriedly: "Now because the queen mother is still in Helan City. The status of the Beida camp is even more special, it can't be messed up, and it can't be ignored, I don't know if His Highness has any arrangements for this?"

Beidaying guards the countless miles of frontier in the north of the Tang Empire, and has the most and most sophisticated cavalry. It has been many years since he undertook the most dangerous mission to confront the mighty Golden Horde.

Now the commander of the Beida camp is Xu Chi, one of the four great generals of the Tang Dynasty, who has always been calm and low-key, and does not show his water. The most inconspicuous.

However, whether Li Huiyuan wants to sit on the throne, or the Tang Dynasty wants to fight against the whole world, Xu Chi and his people. They are all important figures that cannot be ignored or bypassed.

Among the four former kings and generals, Xiahou, the general of the Zhenjun, was a close confidant of the queen, and Xian Zhilang, the current general of Zhenbei, is Li Yu's person. Only the generals of Zhenguo, Xu Shi and Xu Chi, did not have any bias.

They were loyal to, and only to, the Tang Emperor Li Zhongyi.

That's what Scholar Mo Han is worried about now. Will General Xu Chi's loyalty to the first emperor be able to smoothly transition to the current emperor, or will it be transferred to another prince......

Li Yu said: "General Xu Chi, he will definitely not participate in the succession to the throne, this is something my father told me a long time ago, so I believe that he will remain neutral." ”

Mo Han shook his head and said, "Since Your Majesty has ascended the throne, it is inappropriate for the general to remain neutral again." ”

Li Yu said: "The scholar's words are reasonable, so I have already sent Hua Shanyue to go." ”

Mo Han frowned slightly and said: "General Hua Shanyue's loyalty to His Royal Highness is definitely not a problem, he also has an in-law relationship with General Xu Chi's family, but these ...... It doesn't make any sense. ”

Li Yu said calmly: "Since I have entrusted the most important task to Hua Shanyue, I believe that he will be able to complete my entrustment, please rest assured." ”

......

......

Shangguan Yangyu returned home from the palace and closed the door.

The old wife sat on the edge of the bed and waited for the decoction, and asked worriedly, "Is it possible to beat yourself with a stick again?"

Shangguan Yangyu sighed and said, "This time, I'm just afraid that I will strangle myself to death with white silk." ”

The old wife was startled and said: "The new emperor has ascended the throne, Her Royal Highness the princess is powerful, since she values you, you should do it, why do you want to seek death and life?"

Shangguan Yangyu glared at the two triangular eyes and reprimanded: "What do you know about this ignorant woman? The powerful Xuntian also depends on Neng Xun for a few days, if I bow to His Highness, I can naturally make a lot of money and rise to the official position, and then when the queen mother returns to Chang'an with that prince, what can I do?"

When the old wife heard this, she laughed and said, "The old man has been saying that Tang Lu is on top all day long, why did he forget it at this time? The emperor's majesty is on the throne with a testament, who dares to oppose him? Who can oppose him?"

"If you don't understand, you don't understand, although the edict can't be faked, but Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't see anyone, and the first one wants to see me, why is this? ”

Shangguan Yangyu said: "Under what circumstances will Chang'an City be chaotic? Naturally, some people are dissatisfied. ”

The old wife became more and more puzzled, put the decoction on the table, and asked seriously, "Who can still give birth to right and wrong?"

Shangguan Yangyu sneered and said: "Now those ministers in the court, whether they are the queen or the highness, do not understand a truth, in my opinion, even the emperor and the princess have not figured it out, the edict is not the key, Chang'an City is not the key, and even those generals are not the key." ”

The old wife asked curiously, "Then what is the key?"

Shangguan Yangyu said: "The attitude of the academy is the key. ”
