    Chapter 8 The storm is coming (1) Li Yanqing is coming back!  Five years ago, the King of Henan was transferred to Lingnan. In the eyes of many people, it was like being sent into exile.  No one thought that in just five years, he would return to Chang'an During these five years, although Li Yanqing was far away from the ends of the world, the news about him never stopped.  From the initial capture of Yongzhou, the pacification of Ronggui, to the occupation of Jiaozhou, he even detained Qiu Xinggong, a confidant of the King of Qin, in Lingnan. He has not yet released him. Li Shimin has even made several memorials in the past few years, asking Li Yuan to convict Li Yanqing.  But Li Yuan never responded directly.  Afterwards, Li Yanqing developed Jiaozhou and thoroughly reorganized the western Guangdong region. His ability to govern local areas was also constantly highlighted.  Annexing the Liaozi tribe, they captured the tribes south of Caiyun one by one, nearly doubling the area of ??the entire Ronggui region, and successfully integrated it with Bashu to form a unified situation in the southwest, effectively forming a counterattack against Tubo.  Human moderation In short, in the past five years, Li Yanqing has once again created numerous admirable achievements.  Although many people were dissatisfied with Li Yanqing's actions in the Annan Governor's Mansion and believed that some of his methods were unbecoming of a saint no one could deny that when Chang'an was unable to provide any help, Li Yanqing took control of everything from the southeast to the southwest.  Among them, it is definitely a miracle.  Now, the King of Henan, who has repeatedly performed miracles, is returning to Chang'an!  Outside Longqingfang, there is a horse riding Juechen.  Changsun Wuji galloped his horse to a stop in front of the Henan Prince's Mansion, dismounted his horse, and rushed into the palace gate.  "Madams, are you here?" Liang Laoshi hurriedly came forward and said respectfully: "The eldest lady and the young lady are receiving guests in the back garden. After Mr. Yan arrives, they will go to discuss it immediately." "Guests?" Changsun Wuji  I couldn't help but be stunned, a little confused.  What guests will come at this time?  Could it be that he was the envoy sent by Yang Zhen?  Thinking about it, this answer should not be wrong.  Li Yanqing's return to Chang'an has been decided for a long time.  Now that he is coming back, he will naturally make appropriate arrangements.  As for how he will arrange it?  Changsun Wuji couldn't think clearly, but there must be new instructions.  As Liang Laoshi came to the garden, Changsun Wuji suddenly discovered that there were many strange faces in the garden.  And the further you go in, the tighter the guards become.  When he arrived at the pavilion by Longqing Pool, Changsun Wuji unexpectedly saw a familiar figure in the pavilion "Xiaohe Gong, when did you come?" In the pavilion, an old man in white stood up and said slightly  Bow and salute.  Pei Cuiyun and Changsun Wujia were sitting aside. When they saw Changsun Wuji coming, they also stood up.  "If I want to get back to the young master, I will arrive at noon." Chai Xiaohe replied with a smile: "The two ladies were planning to notify the young master immediately, but they were stopped by the old man At this time, every move in the palace will be watched. rashly  Contacting the prince would easily reveal flaws. " Changsun Wuji did not live in the palace on weekdays, but compiled "Tang Lv Shu Yi" in Chongwen Hall.  "Brother, Mr. Xiaohe is here on the orders of the prince. I have something important to discuss with you." Changsun Wugou and Pei Cuiyun looked at each other, first said something to Changsun Wuji, and then smiled slightly to Chai Xiaohe, "  Xiaohe Gong, please discuss things here while we go see if the food and wine are ready In addition, we will make preparations for the matter you mentioned, and as soon as Xiaohe Gong is ready to take action, everyone in the palace will do their best.  Cooperate." "That's it, thank you, madam." Now Pei Cuiyun and Changsun Wugou also have official orders.  In the fifth year of Wude, because Li Yanqing completely pacified Lingnan, Pei Cuiyun was named the Madam of Qiao Kingdom, and the eldest grandson Wugou was named Madam of Yu Kingdom, which can be said to be a first-class imperial decree.  However, in the mansion, the two of them behaved as usual and did not show any arrogance.  Neither Pei Cuiyun nor Changsun Wugou has an arrogant temper.  Pei Cuiyun is fond of poetry, books, etiquette and music, while the eldest grandson Wugou is naturally charming and naive. Influenced by his mother, Mrs. Gao, he is very kind to others.  Wuji and Chai Xiaohe bowed to see the two girls off and sat down respectively.  At this time, Changsun Wuji also found out that the guards in the mansion were all Qilin guards brought by Chai Xiaohe secretly, so he felt even more excited.  He vaguely knew that Li Yanqing had a powerful and unknown force in his hands.  ¡°And this force is controlled by Li Yanqing and has almost never shown any strength  Now, Chai Xiaohe has appeared with this force, which is also a signal that Li Yanqing is ready to take action. How can Changsun Wuji not be excited?  Over the past few years, he has been waiting silently for this day to arrive.  Now, this day is coming soon "Your Majesty, when are you going to leave?" Chai Xiaohe smiled slightly, looked at the surrounding environment, and said softly: "Your Majesty has already set off, but he still announced that he is still staying in Jiaozhou." "  "Ah?" "The prince will leave Lingnan secretly, and will go to Hongzhou and Jiangdong first, and then meet up with Prince Daoxuan in Jingzhou." Changsun Wuji couldn't help but said in surprise: "  But the imperial envoy" Before the words were spoken, he seemed to have come to his senses and could not help but nodded slightly.  Changsun Shundethat's my family.  Li Yanqing's future will determine the future of Changsun's family and Perak Hall. Changsun Shunde will naturally know how to choose.  And Pei Shiju is an even more scheming guy.  There is an inextricable relationship between the four surnames of Hedong and Li Yanqing.  Let's not talk about Pei Cuiyun. Pei Shiju's daughter Pei Shuying treated Li Yanqing as if she were her own and loved her very much In the current relative decline of the Pei family, Pei Shiju naturally knew how to choose.  As for those people in the imperial envoy team, Changsun Wuji didn¡¯t care much.  Since Pei Shiju and Changsun Shunde are determined to cooperate with Li Yanqing, how can those eyes and ears in the imperial team make trouble?  I'm afraid that by this time, the people in the imperial envoy team have been replaced by Li Yanqing's people Chai Xiaohe smiled and didn't explain anything.  He took out a bamboo tube sealed with gold paint from his arms and handed it to Changsun Wuji.  "The prince has ordered that the young master only needs to act according to the plan. When the time comes, I will order the Qilin Guards to cooperate fully. The prince also said that the more this time, the more cautious Now Chang'an is about to have a storm, and everyone  Everyone is gearing up, so don¡¯t be careless." Changsun Wuji frowned and opened the mailbox.  He read the contents very seriously, and couldn't help but shiver and take a deep breath.  "Xiaohe Gong, will this be the case?" "The prince has always been cautious. Since he has arranged it like this, you and I just need to act according to the plan Calculate the time, I am afraid it will be this year!" Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment, and read the letter in his hand.  Thrown into the brazier.  The letter suddenly turned into a ball of fire. Wuji looked at the fireball and couldn't help but feel a little fear in his heart: If this is true, you can be said to be worthy of raising the truth. This is a perfect plan ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª  ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª In September of the eighth year of Wude, the autumn wind is bleak and everything withers.  Li Shimin came out of the princess's house with a sad face, his eyes a little red.  "Princess Pingyang's condition is getting worse day by day, and she is about to die Even the famous doctors from Taiyuan Hospital can't give any answers.  And Sun Simiao, the only holy infant who could possibly cure Princess Pingyang, left Mount Emei in the seventh year of Wude, and his whereabouts are unknown According to the monks on Mount Emei, Sun Simiao left with a man named Zhao Xiqiao, preparing to go all over the place.  Traveling through famous mountains and rivers, looking for those immortals outside the world, and seeking the way to become immortals.  Where he went, no one knew Li Shimin could feel that his sister's attitude towards him seemed a little cold. ?????????????????? At least not as cordial as before, and there was even a bit of repulsion in the words.  The reason is probably closely related to the Yang Wenqian rebellion last year.  Although it was announced to the outside world that Yang Wenqian's rebellion did not involve Prince Qian or anyone in the clan.  But with Princess Pingyang's ability, how could she not guess that this matter was related to Li Shimin?  Li Jiancheng is the elder brother, and Li Shimin is the brother.  Being born from the same mother, even if Princess Pingyang likes Li Shimin more, she has no choice in the matter of being at odds with each other.  The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. One is the elder brother and the other is the younger brother. How should Princess Pingyang choose?  In addition, Chai Shao has been stationed outside and refused to return to Chang'an. Princess Pingyang's closest confidant, Mao Xiaoba, was exposed to the scandal of patricide, fled Chang'an, and his whereabouts are unknown.  This made it difficult for Princess Pingyang not to feel depressed and find relief.  What happened to Mao Xiaoba happened in the sixth year of Wude.  In fact, it was quite a chance that Mao Xiaonian met her eldest sister in the West Market.  At that time, Mao Xiaonian¡¯s eldest sister was also considered a prominent person.  Her husband He Panren was promoted due to his rebellion from Princess Pingyang.The official is worshiped as the general manager of Lanzhou. He is quite famous in Chang'an city.  But the eldest sister didn't expect that Mao Xiaonian would become the concubine of the King of Henan.  They may not be comparable to him in terms of status, but in terms of status, they are vastly different.  When the eldest sister met Mao Xiaonian, she naturally cried.  Inadvertently, the two of them talked about the past. Only then did the eldest sister know all the things that happened at home after she went to the Western Regions with He Panren.  Especially when she learned that her parents had died at the hands of Mao Xiaoba, she couldn't help but become furious.  The two sisters desperately went to the princess mansion, and then Princess Pingyang knew the reasons for what Mao Xiaoba had done back then.  Originally, the two sisters Mao Xiaonian wanted to kill Mao Xiaoba.  But I didn¡¯t expect that Mao Xiaoba happened to be away from Chang¡¯an When Xiaoba got the news, he did not hesitate to take a batch of escorted Princess Mansion goods and fled to Mobei, whereabouts are unknown.  Because of this incident, Princess Pingyang's reputation became very bad.  In the letter, Chai Shao even used a mocking tone to accuse Princess Pingyang of being short-sighted.  Princess Pingyang was so angry that she fainted on the spot Later, although Chai Shao sent someone to beg for forgiveness, Princess Pingyang was never able to stay again.  Now that roommates are fighting again, she is naturally very disappointed with Li Shimin.  After returning to the palace, Li Shimin went directly to a small hall.  After the Yangwen-Qian Rebellion, when Li Yuan returned to Chang'an, he ordered Li Shimin to move out of the imperial city and move to the Qin Palace.  This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Li Shimin.  It sounds better to move out of the imperial city.  To put it harshly, it means being kicked out of the imperial city.  Although Li Yuan still reused Li Shimin and even appointed him as Shangshu Ling and the commander-in-chief of the six ministries, to a certain extent, it also showed that Li Yuan was extremely disappointed with Li Shimin.  Over the past year, Li Shimin has been living like a year.  On the one hand, he continues to expand his wings, but on the other hand, he has to face the fact that his voice in the court is constantly decreasing.  "My lord, you are back!" The small hall was filled with Li Shimin's confidants.  Wang Tong stood up to greet him and asked softly: "What can you gain from the Princess's Mansion?" Li Shimin waved his hand for everyone to sit down, sighed and said: "The third sister's condition is getting more and more serious, and she seems to be dissatisfied with me. Look.  Her condition is probablyI really don't know how to say it. "By the way, is there any news in the court today?" "Just now, Master Feng Lun sent a message saying that news has come from Lingnan that the King of Henan will be here soon.  We will set off and arrive in Chang'an around the end of the year. "Yangzhen, are you leaving?" "If we count the schedule, it should be within a day or two." Li Shimin couldn't help but smile and shook his head: It really rained all night  Now that Li Yanqing is back, it will be even harder for him to stand up again!  "Your Majesty, this situation is very bad now." Wang Tong said softly: "According to Mr. Feng, your Majesty called him to the palace yesterday and talked about many things. Looking at the situation, your Majesty seems to have made up his mind and wants to help him.  The prince takes his seat Although the prince has been quiet these days, he has been making small moves. The King of Qi has been hosting banquets for the ministers of the court, including many old ministers of the Tiance Mansion, but they were invited because of illness.  It¡¯s just that others may not be able to hold on. After all, the situation is getting worse!¡± The implication is very clear.  ¡°If you, King Qin, don¡¯t fight back, the generals of Tiance Mansion may not continue to be loyal to you!  Li Shimin closed his eyes and sighed, "Then what can I do? Since the father has made up his mind, I have no other way out If it doesn't work out, I will ask the father for a letter and a land, and it will be a vassal state." Prince  Although we have been fighting for many years, we probably won¡¯t kill them all.¡± ¡°My lord, if Yang Wenqian hadn¡¯t been involved, the prince might not have pursued the case. But when Yang Wenqian¡¯s incident happened, the prince and the prince were on the same level The prince handed over everything in his hands.  , The prince may not pursue it for the time being, but once he ascends the throne, he may not give up. "The person who spoke was Wen Yanbo.  This man was born in the third year of Emperor Wu's Jiande reign of Zhou Dynasty, and his courtesy name was Dalin.  In terms of closeness, he is also Li Shimin's uncle.  Li Shimin's wife is Wen Yanbo's niece, and they have a close relationship.  Secretary Wen Yanbotong is alert and able to argue.  In the last years of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, he was named Wenlin Lang and belonged to the Ministry of Internal History.  During the Daye period, Wen Yanbo served as the president of YouzhouSima in charge of Luo Yi.  Later, he rebelled against Luo Yi and returned to the Tang Dynasty with Luo Yi. He was named Shangshu Youcheng, in charge of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry.  The Wen family is a large family in Taiyuan and has the merit of following the dragon.  Coupled with Li Shimin's relationship, the Wen family stood firmly on Li Shimin's side and became an indispensable force for Li Shimin today.  Li Shimin frowned and said: "The prince has a kind temperament, so he may not kill him." Wen Yanbo sneered: "Does the prince know what it means to open the bow without turning back? The prince has opened his bow, and he has been fighting with the prince for several years. There are all kinds of conflicts here.  , The prince dares to say that the prince will not hold a grudge in his heart? And the prince still has Prince Qi with his heart The prince wants to give in now, but I am afraid it is too late! After the prince ascends the throne, he will never let the prince go.  There is no way outthen what do you think we should do?" Li Shimin couldn't help feeling depressed, looking at the people in the hall, and asked anxiously.  After Wang Tong and Wen Yanbo looked at each other, Wen Yanbo gritted his teeth, stood up and said in a deep voice: "If the prince is not dead, the prince will die without a burial place!"
