Li Xiu is far from an incompetent person.

On the contrary, he knows exactly when to speak up and when to shut up.

Today, Cangzhou is ironclad.

On the other hand, among the generals of the Great Chu Army, only Xu Qing of the Northern Border Army is quite prestigious.

At this time, don't mention Xu Qing, let alone when.

Li Xiuyuan continued: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Xu Qing should be dispatched south to order the Yangzhou army to defend Yangzhou. The Northern Frontier Army marched back and kept the Xiang rebels out of Yangzhou. ”

What Li Xiuyuan said is not unreasonable.

After Xiao Yuande thought about it carefully, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" The six Shangshu were in unison. They really couldn't do anything better.

After a stick of incense, the holy decree went to the north.

Li Xiuyuan and other courtiers also left the palace.

In front of the palace gate, the autumn wind suddenly coughed violently.

The weather is cold, and the exhaustion makes the body of the autumn wind even worse than before.

"Old lady, you need to recuperate." Li Xiuyuan patted Qiu Jinfeng's back and said with concern.

Qiu Jinfeng coughed a few times before straightening up. "Xiang Ji is rebellious, the soldiers are strong, and he wants to overthrow the world. I can't sleep every day. ”

Li Xiuyuan sighed and said, "Now only Xu Qing can compete with it. I hope Xu Qing can stop the Tiger Roaring Army. ”

Qiu Jinfeng said: "The northern army is going south. The air defense on the northern border is empty, and the countless sects of the 100,000 mountains will definitely have abnormal movements. Li Xiangzhen thinks that the army of the nearby state capital can deter those sects? ”

Li Xiuyuan looked at the autumn strong wind, as if he was smiling.

"Old lady, you and I don't have to hide between each other."

Li Xiuyuan paused, glanced back at the imperial study, and continued: "Those who are ministers are anxious about what Your Majesty is anxious about, and think about what Your Majesty thinks. Now the rebels are a big problem for His Majesty. The North is just the North. ”

"The northern army is going south, and those Jianghu sects will not be honest. But when the Northern Army is here, are these sects honest? This isn't the northern realm of twenty years ago. ”

Li Xiuyuan meant something, and Qiu Jinfeng also understood, and then said: "If the Beidou Battalion was still there back then, why worry about the peace in the north of Great Chu? ”

"The old lady said carefully." Li Xiuyuan glanced at Qiu Jinfeng. "The Beidou Battalion is a rebellion."

Qiu Jinfeng stroked his beard and said, "Rebellion? Hehe. Didn't Li Xiang say that there is no need to hide between you and me. Whether the Beidou Battalion is a rebellion or not, others don't know, don't you know? ”

Li Xiuyuan retorted: "I don't know if it's important, what matters is what Your Majesty thinks?" Beidou Battalion... It was really beautiful back then. ”

Walking out of the palace gate, the housekeeper said to Li Xiuyuan: "Master, the young lady has returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion." I have brought you some food in Nanzhou, which is waiting for you. ”

There is only one young lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and that is Li Chuchen.

Li Xiuyuan had a smile on his face. "After this girl got married, she became a lot more sensible."

The housekeeper also smiled and said, "Miss has always been sensible and respectful to the master." ”

"Let's go, go home."

......

At this time, in the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion, in addition to Li Chuchen, there were two more people, who were Li Qingru and Yu Zhi.

When he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion again, Yu Zhi still sneered when he saw these tables and chairs with paint peeling.

This old fox pretended to be poor and pretended to be in his bones.

Because when he was in Sioux City, he had a disagreement with Yu Zhi.

Li Chuchen's attitude towards Yu Zhi was not very good.

As the crown princess, Li Chuchen has a noble status, and in the eyes of others, he must not be offended.

Yu Zhi didn't care.

"What are you coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion for?" Li Chuchen held the shelf and glanced at Yu Zhi.

Yu Zhi said lightly: "The left and right are not here to find you. ”

"Yu Zhi, this is Kyoto, don't be too arrogant, be careful of the misfortune coming out of your mouth." Li Chuchen threatened.

Yu Zhi suddenly smiled and said, "I've been thinking that you and Tong'er are twin sisters, but why are you so pampered and arrogant?" ”

"But I can't figure it out. However, I do know that Xiao Jingyao doesn't like women like you. ”

Yu Zhi's words were the sharpest poisonous needle in the world, piercing Li Chuchen's heart.

Li Chuchen has been married to Xiao Jingyao for several months, and Xiao Jingyao has never had a round room with him, and even sleeps in two separate beds at night.

This has already made Li Chuchen feel uneasy in his heart.

Yu Zhi's words undoubtedly hit Li Chuchen's pain point.

"Brother Prince is willing to marry me, how can he not like me!" Li Wantong said coldly.

Yu Zhi smiled meaningfully: "Do you know Wan'er, the maid beside the prince? She's dead..."

"She's dead, what does it have to do with me..."

"Then do you know who killed Wan'er?"

Li Chuchen was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Yu Zhi wanted to continue to speak, but heard an angry rebuke from outside the lobby.

"Enough!"

Li Xiuyuan hurriedly walked into the lobby, his cold and angry gaze sweeping over Yu Zhi.

"Grandpa..."

"Chen'er, you go down first."

"But..."

"Grandpa will tell you everything. You go down first. ”

After Li Chuchen left, Li Xiuyuan looked at Li Qingru instead.

What is this incomparable Great Chu Guoshi coming for today?

Li Xiuyuan had a bad premonition in his heart.

Li Xiuyuan looked at Li Qingru, he has been an official for decades, and his eyesight is amazing, and this woman also makes him unable to see anything superfluous.

"Why are you two here?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Li Qingru, who had not spoken, said: "My nephew Yu Zhi and Li Xiang's granddaughter Li Wantong have a family affair. As an elder, it is natural to come and meet your in-laws. ”

Li Xiuyuan recalled the marriage contract and said: "Wantong has been raised outside the mansion since she was a child, and outsiders don't know her identity. The two of you get married, and you don't need to notify the prime minister. ”

"Li Xiang doesn't recognize this granddaughter?" Yu Zhi raised his eyebrows, and he was uneven for Li Wantong.

"Miss Xiangfu, who suddenly appeared, this identity will make Tong'er attract criticism... In short, I have no objection to your family affairs. Li Xiuyuan looked like he was thinking about Li Wantong.

Yu Zhi sneered: "I'm afraid you're doing it for your own reputation." ”

Abandon her disabled granddaughter and send someone to assassinate her... This is just to maintain his reputation as Li Xiuyuan.

One mistake can only be covered up with another.

Li Xiuyuan had a cold face, not wanting to answer this question.

Li Qingru said at the right time: "Li Xiangye, do you know why Yu Zhi and Tong'er made this family business?" ”

Li Xiuyuan stroked his beard and looked at Li Qingru suspiciously.

After being silent for a long time, Li Xiuyuan said: "Back then, my son Li Shi'an once told me that if the child in the womb was a daughter, he would have made a family appointment for him. If it is a boy, it is a brother of the opposite sex. But he never told the old man who this fate came from. ”

Until Yu Zhi came with the letter and the white jade token. The old man remembered the old things. ”

Li Xiuyuan looked at Yu Zhi and seemed to have guessed something, but he didn't say much.

Li Qingru took over the conversation and explained: "Yu Zhi is the son of Yu Shanhe, the commander of the Beidou Battalion. And your son Li Shi'an is one of the seven star generals of the Beidou Battalion - Yuheng Star Li Shi'an. ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Xiuyuan trembled violently, his eyes full of disbelief.

Li Shi'an never told him this.

Li Xiuyuan thought about Li Shi'an's deeds before his death, his eyes kept trembling, and finally muttered: "He never said this." But he was also in the North all those years. ”

"The Beidou Battalion is adapted from the royal secret guard, and its identity is secret. Li Shi'an did not make this matter clear, but also for the sake of the Prime Minister. Li Qingru explained.

"At the beginning, Chan'er and Xiyue were pregnant at the same time. The two have the intention of getting married. never thought that on the eve of the birth of the child, the eldest brother was tragically murdered and the Beidou camp was destroyed. This marriage has become a secret that no one knows. ”

Chan'er is Li Shi'an's wife.

Li Xiuyuan looked at Li Qingru, recalled the blood of that night in Kyoto, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was an eyewitness and witness to the troubles of that night.

When the Hokuto battalion was killed in Kyoto, he was in the imperial palace, waiting for news.

"On the night of twenty years ago, the Beidou Battalion entered Beijing, and Shi'an was among them?" Li Xiuyuan said in a trembling voice, his face was pale, his hands trembled, and he held on to the table on the side.

At this moment, he couldn't sit still.

Li Qingru nodded. "When I entered Beijing, my eldest brother brought Yuhengxing and Tianshuxing, but I didn't expect that in that battle, no one escaped from Kyoto."

Li Xiuyuan looked at Li Qingru as if he was lying.

He didn't expect his son to die in front of him, but he thought that Li Shi'an had an accident during his travels in the north.

"Li Xiang, whether you believe it or not. If you think about it, there are traces of all this. ”

"Now, I want to know what role Xiao Yuande played in it back then."

Li Xiuyuan closed his eyes, no longer looked at anyone, and grasped the corner of the table with one hand trembling, supporting his body sitting on the chair.

Anger, grief... It was full of Li Xiuyuan's heart.

For a long time, the corners of Li Xiuyuan's mouth twitched, his breath was short, and he was uncontrollable in anger.

"Xiang nationality, it turned out to be Xiang nationality. This is the traitor! Li Xiuyuan roared, like an old lion, only roaring.

Li Qingru was not in a hurry, waiting for Li Xiuyuan to calm down.

"Li Xiang, your enemy is a Xiang nationality, perhaps far more than Xiang nationality."

Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan opened his eyes, stared at Li Qingru, and said seriously: "No, there is only Xiang Ji." The only person who killed my son was Xiang Ji! ”

......

Li Qingru and Yu Zhi left the Prime Minister's Mansion, but they also knew what they wanted to know.

"Li Xiuyuan is really an old fox." Yu Zhi said.

Li Qingru said: "Li Xiuyuan has been an official for decades, but he just knows how to judge the situation. Xiang Jikeng killed the Beidou Battalion and put the charge of rebellion on the head of the Beidou Battalion. Xiao Yuande sat on the throne as he wished. Li Xiuyuan is also the prime minister of the powerful Great Chu. ”

"After the dust settles on the twenty-year battle for succession, all three of them have got everything they want."

"Now that Xiang Ji is plotting rebellion, even if Xiao Yuande is also the mastermind of the Beidou Battalion, Li Xiuyuan must unswervingly stand on Xiao Yuande's side."

"Judging from Li Xiuyuan's reaction just now, the Beidou Battalion has been destroyed, and none of the three of them can get out of it."

Yu Zhi thought about it, sighed and said, "If Li Xiuyuan is involved, wouldn't he have harmed his son?" ”

Li Qingru also showed a look of regret. "I'm afraid so."

"Thousands of rivers and mountains are always love, can you vote for me!"
