Chapter 137 Detecting Discord

Duan Zhixuan raised his head and looked at the house that Su Dan entered. This is Fang Guogong's mansion, that's right!

Why is Su Dan so sneaky when he returns to his home?

Duan Zhixuan was very confused, and then he remembered what Wang Yu had someone tell him, and he became even more confused.

"Xiao Yu'er, why did you ask me to come here to find you?"

Wang Yu lifted his feet and left the tree, and said lightly: "Oh, Aye gave me a task, and I need your cooperation. Now that you have cooperated, you can go."

Duan Zhixuan's eyebrows twitched, so his cooperation was just to show his face here?

"Alas~" Duan Zhixuan chased after him: "You should make it clear, what mission did Tang Bus give you?"

Wang Yu stopped, stretched out a finger and shook it at him: "Buddha said: Don't say it."

After a pause, he said with a smile: "However, I will ask Aye for credit for you, just wait and receive the reward."

Duan Zhixuan was happy when he heard that he could receive a reward. It didn't matter what the task was, as long as he could receive the reward.

Duan Zhixuan followed Wang Yu to the Duke's Mansion of Tang Dynasty, and as expected, Li Yuan gave him a reward.

When only Li Yuan, his son, and Wang Yu were left in the room, Wang Yu took out a piece of yellow silk from his sleeve and handed it to Li Yuan with a smile: "Aye, I'm lucky to have lived up to my fate."

Li Yuan took it and looked at it carefully and praised: "Xiao Yu'er is really capable. I appreciate it."

Li Shimin came over and took a closer look: "It is indeed the secret decree given to Su Wei by His Majesty, little Yu'er, how did you get it?"

Wang Yu told the story of how she frightened Su Dan into compensating for the royal vase, and how she tricked Su Dan into stealing the imperial edict and showing it to her.

Li Yuan suddenly realized: "No wonder you asked me to prepare a reward for Duan Zhixuan. It turns out that you still need his cooperation.

"However, this kid only showed his face and got so many rewards. It's really an advantage for him."

Wang Yu smiled: "Aye, don't be so stingy. Without him, I wouldn't be able to get it."

Li Yuan just said casually, but the fact that Wang Yu gave such a good opportunity to Duan Zhixuan showed that the two of them had a good relationship, and Li Yuan naturally had a better impression of Duan Zhixuan in his heart.

Li Shimin stared at the piece of yellow silk and asked Li Yuan: "What are you going to do with this thing?"

"Keep this thing as evidence. Just burn it. No one will be able to catch us."

After Wang Yu finished speaking, he took out the yellow silk from Li Yuan's hand and threw it away. The yellow silk fell into the brazier and burned instantly.

Li Yuan: "..."

Li Shimin: "..."

He burned it when he said it was burning. Father hadn't even opened his mouth yet. The little girl was too bold.

Looking at Wang Yu's natural look, Li Shimin suddenly felt that this little girl was still too young, ignorant and fearless, and had no respect for the imperial power.

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, watching helplessly as the yellow silk was burned to ashes, and then he said: "It's okay to burn it."

After solving Yang Guang's secret order to Su Wei, Li Yuan said to Li Shimin: "Next, we have to plan carefully how to deal with Su Wei and Zhao Cai..."

------

Su Wei was a relative of the former emperor and one of the "Five Nobles" of Luoyang. He was quite keen on political trends. However, as he got older, he was hesitant and soft-hearted when making decisions. He had many concerns.

Just when Su Dan secretly put the imperial edict back, Su Weizheng was discussing matters with Zhao Cai and several Jinyang officials he thought could be of great use.

Su Wei said: "These days, when I urge the Duke of Tang to conquer Liu Wuzhou, he always excuses himself on the grounds that the newly recruited soldiers have not been trained and go on a rash expedition, and the whole army will be destroyed.

"I suspect that Duke Tang Guo has different intentions and does not want to conquer Liu Wuzhou at all."

Zhao Cai agreed: "Yes, that guy Li Yuan has no intention of obeying the imperial edict and conquering Liu Wuzhou. He is resisting the edict."

Liu Shilong hesitated and said: "However, the one-month deadline given by His Majesty has not yet expired, and Duke Tang Guo has not resisted the decree. Maybe he will send troops to conquer Liu Wuzhou in two days."

Su Wei further analyzed: "If Li Yuan had no different intentions, how could he assign the troops he recruited to Changsun Shunde and Liu Hongji? It doesn't matter that Li Shimin is his son, but who are these two people? They are all evading military service.

The criminal? He should have been killed long ago.

"I already gave Li Yuan a lot of face by letting them go last time, but I didn't know that he still didn't know how to avoid suspicion and handed the army into the hands of such a person.

"You think he has some evil intentions?"

Liu Shilong was silent.

"So, we must arrest Changsun Shunde and Liu Hongji immediately to prevent changes."

Hearing Su Wei's words, the warrior Yu couldn't sit still and blurted out: "Fang Guogong, no."

Su Wei asked back: "Why not?"

The warrior Xun hesitated for a moment, but then he wised up and replied: "Changsun Shunde and Liu Hongji are both guests of Duke Tang. If Duke Fang Guo must take action against them, I am afraid it will stir up trouble and lead to internal strife."

Su Wei paused, thinking that Liu Wuzhou and the Turks were now eyeing him. If there was civil strife in Jinyang at this time, Liu Wuzhou and the Turks would definitely take advantage of it. When Taiyuan fell, he and Zhao Cai would be blamed even if they died.

Liu Wuzhou and the Turks delayed attacking Taiyuan because Li Yuan was in charge of Taiyuan.

When the one-month period comes and Li Yuan has not sent out troops to conquer Liu Wuzhou, he can use the imperial edict to deal with Li Yuan openly.

With this thought, Su Wei looked at Zhao Cai and exchanged glances with him. Zhao Cai nodded slightly at him.

Therefore, the two of them suppressed their thoughts for the time being.

That night, the warrior Xun quietly went to Tang Guogong's mansion and told Li Yuan what happened during the day.

The next day, the warrior Xun and several officers were drinking and chatting together. An officer named Tian Deping said: "I have been feeling that something is wrong with the people in Tang Guogong's mansion recently. The recruitment of soldiers this time is also strange. Do you feel it?"

"

Warrior Xun's heart skipped a beat, and he calmly picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Someone echoed: "Yes, I also feel something is wrong. Could it be that the new soldiers recruited are not going to conquer Liu Wuzhou?"

When Tian Deping heard this, his suspicion deepened. He put the wine glass on the table, stood up and said, "I will go to Fang Guogong's mansion and ask Fang Guogong and General Zhao to carefully investigate the recruited troops."

"etc."

Hearing Samurai Yu's voice, Tian Deping lowered his head and looked at him.

Warrior Xun coughed lightly and said slowly: "Brother Tian, ​​don't be anxious, listen to me first.

"The army that conquered Liu Wuzhou belonged to Tang Guogong. Although Fang Guogong and General Zhao had the title of deputy retainer, they had no real power in their hands. What ability did they have to investigate the inside story of recruiting troops?

"So, we might as well wait and see what happens and then make plans."

Tian Deping thought that what he said made sense, so he gave up going to Fang Guogong's Mansion, sat down again, picked up the wine glass and said to everyone: "Come on, there is wine today and we will get drunk today. We must drink to our heart's content today. Don't get drunk."

Return."

The warrior Xun took a long breath, felt a little relieved, picked up his wine glass and clinked glasses with everyone else.

But if he tries to dissuade such a thing once or twice, it won't attract anyone's attention, but if it happens a few more times, others will become suspicious.

He thought he should give Li Yuan some advice...
