Four hundred and eighty eighth chapter: Queen Mother welcomes you
Pang Yu stopped talking in the middle of his words. This meaning could not be more obvious. Governance is okay, but fighting is not good. It seems that the defenders in Hongnong City alone cannot resist it. Li Jiancheng's troops and horses were gone. The situation in Shangluo was probably similar to that of Hongnong. Wan He frowned, but raised his head and said to Qin Qiong: "Uncle Bao, didn't you just say that you would lead the troops and horses to the surrounding areas for training? How about that? . Just go to Hongnong and Shangluo. We don’t need too many soldiers and horses. Just take a hundred thousand people with you."
"Hiss." As soon as Wan He finished speaking, everyone immediately gasped. What did Wan He want to do? Could it be that he wanted to start a war with Li Yuan? Although he had long heard that Wan He had a grudge against the Li family. But now Luoyang has just regained its vitality. It is really unwise to start a war with the Li family at this time. The courtiers all looked at Wan He in shock. Only Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Liu Wenjing A glimmer of light flashed in the man's eyes. Liu Wenjing immediately smiled and said: "The Duke of Guo's plan is very clever. A hundred thousand troops. As long as they go to Hongnong and go up to Luo. Even if they lend Li Jiancheng ten courages, he will not dare to step forward again." One step."
After Liu Wenjing explained it like this, all the courtiers reacted. It turned out that Wan He just wanted to scare Li Jiancheng. This is true. There are many things in Luoyang, and there are also many things in the Li family. Just Xue in the west For example, Li Gui is enough to give the Li family a headache. There are also Turks in the north, Liu Wuzhou, and Liang Shidu. It seems that Li Yuan's rear is not peaceful either. Otherwise, this time Li Yuan sent his eldest son Li Jiancheng out of seclusion. He will only bring 30,000 troops and horses.
With Wan He's arrangement, Li Jiancheng's matter was resolved. And the next step was the last thing. That was how to deal with Yu Wenhua. Wan He also frowned. This Yu Wenming Far away in Jiangdu, Wan He wants to deal with Yu Wenhuaji, but he has to at least pass through the sphere of influence of Wang Shichong and Du Fuwei. But if Wan He does not move, then the justice of the world does not belong to Wan He. I thought Here, Wan He couldn't help but feel a headache. Now he really didn't know what to do.
Thinking of this, Wan He turned his attention to Changsun Wuji and the others. When they encountered a problem, Wan He naturally asked for help from his think tank. When he saw Wan He's eyes moving over, Changsun Wuji and the others also understood that Wan He What did He mean? Immediately afterwards, the three of them lowered their heads and thought for a moment. Fang Xuanling raised his head and said, "My lord, I have a plan."
When Fang Xuanling said this, Wan He also became energetic. He immediately nodded and said: "Okay. Tell me quickly. Tell me quickly. What is the clever plan?"
"The clever plan is not worth it." Fang Xuanling hesitated for a moment. Then he said: "Yu Wenhuaji is a perverse act. We will fight for it for the whole world. Previously, Li Yuan issued a submission and called on all the heroes of the world to fight against Yu Wenhuaji. Why don't you do this, Duke of the country?" Write an article on it. Send envoys to Wang Shichong and Shen Faxing, and order them to send troops to attack Yu Wenhuaji. If Wang Shichong and Shen Faxing send troops, they are complying with the call of the Duke of the country and bringing fame to the Duke of the country. If they do not If you are willing to accept the call, the Lord of the country can tell the world that you two are Yu Wenhua and his comrades."
When Fang Xuanling said this, the eyes of all the ministers in the palace were brightened. Even Duan Shihong, who mentioned the matter, could not find any fault. Fang Xuanling deliberately chose Wang Shichong and Shen Faxing because of Jiangdong. Only these two forces openly supported the Sui Dynasty. The remaining ones, Du Fuwei and Xiao Mian, were all rebel bandits. Wouldn't it be a big joke to send envoys to them to combat the rebellion?
Fang Xuanling's approach can be considered a method, but it is not without its drawbacks. It is better to say that Shen Faxing is successful. If Wang Shichong really responds to the imperial edict, it means that Wan He will form an alliance with Wang Shichong. At least in Yu Wenhua and Fu Zhu Before, Wanhe could not attack Wang Shichong. Now Wang Shichong only has 60,000 Jianghuai soldiers and a small number of local soldiers and horses in Xingyang. With such strength, Wanhe is now one of the most suitable opponents for annexation. If you miss it, This opportunity allowed Wang Shichong to gradually become stronger. Wouldn't it be a disaster to feed a tiger?
Changsun Wuji also thought of this and immediately spoke out against Fang Xuanling's suggestion. The two of them had always been in tacit understanding. It was rare to have such different opinions. However, Fang Xuanling obviously knew the shortcomings of his method. For Changsun The objection raised by Wuji did not have any other ideas.
To be honest, if Changsun Wuji had not objected, Wan He would have never thought of this. In his opinion, Wang Shichong and Yu Wenhuaji are not good people. They are dog-eat-dog. Isn't it good? But Changsun Wuji said this. Wanhe also understood the problem. The previous plan had to be abandoned.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Wenjing, Duan Shihong and others also proposed several methods. The results were all inapplicable to the current situation. The discussion immediately reached a deadlock. A full two hours passed. Wan He raised his head and looked out the window. It was getting late. Then he rubbed his temples and said to everyone: "Okay, it's getting late. Regarding the matter of Yu Wenhuaji, let's just press it for now and wait until tomorrow to discuss it."
Wan He said this, and everyone had no objections. Anyway, Yu Wenhuaji's matter is not urgent. Solutions have been provided for other matters. They still have to implement these plans one by one. There are many things.
After waving his hands for everyone to leave, Wan He also let out a long sigh of relief. He leaned back on the chair to rest. He turned his head and looked at the dragon chair next to him. Wan He was also filled with emotion. Everyone wanted to compete for that position. Little did he know. Even if you win this position, the responsibility you have to bear is greater than everyone else. Of course, you can also choose to be a fool. But think about Yang Guang's fate. It is not that easy to be a fool.
After resting for a long time, Wan He stretched out, stood up and left the hall. However, just when Wan He stepped out of the hall, a figure came out from Wan He's side and stopped Wan He. On the way out, Wan He was also startled. When he took a closer look, he turned out to be an old acquaintance. It was Granny Zhang who was beside Concubine Xiao.
I saw Grandma Zhang saying to Wan He Yi Fu, "I'm here to see the Duke. Please stay with me. Your Majesty, please ask the Duke to go to Xiaozhu Palace."
Since Xiao Yang Gao ascended the throne, as Xiao Yang Gao's biological mother, Concubine Xiao was naturally directly upgraded to the Empress Dowager. However, even after becoming the Empress Dowager, Concubine Xiao did not choose to move into Kunning Palace. She continues to live in her Xiaozhu Palace. Although it is a bit inappropriate to do so, Luoyang is full of waste and things are going on. No one cares about such trivial things.
Hearing Nanny Zhang's words, the first thing that came to Wan He's mind was the white and tender skin on the bed that night. It immediately made Wan He's lower abdomen feel hot. Wan He immediately shook his head. The fragrant picture was thrown out of his mind. Then he said to Nanny Zhang: "Nanny Zhang, it's not too early now. The Queen Mother summoned me suddenly. But there is something important." Wan He meant what he said. It just means that Concubine Xiao is the empress dowager and a young woman. Being in the same room with a young man like herself at such a late hour has some bad effects.
After Wan He said this, he felt that he was too hypocritical. He had already told others and now he is still pretending to be serious. But at this time, Granny Zhang said to Wan He expressionlessly: "Master Guo . This slave is just following your Majesty’s orders and asking the Duke to come over. As for what the Queen has to do with the Duke, I really don’t know. I also ask the Duke not to embarrass this slave.”
"Uh." Nanny Zhang felt like she was out of luck, which made Wan He a little confused. After some hesitation, Wan He decided to go to Xiaozhu Palace. Now this little Yang Gao has been praised by Wan He. Concubine Xiao is the biological mother of Xiao Yang Gao. From now on, Wan He must maintain a good relationship with Concubine Xiao. At least he cannot let Concubine Xiao do harm behind his back. So Wan He said to Aunt Zhang: "That's it. .Please ask Aunt Zhang to lead the way."
"I don't dare." Seeing Wan He, she agreed. Nanny Zhang still had the same expressionless look on her face. It was another blessing for Wan He. Then she turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation to Wan He. . He led the way for Wan He. Wan He first made gestures to both sides, and then followed Granny Zhang. Although there seemed to be no one guarding Wan He, in fact, Wan He's safety had been All the masters of Tianyin Sect are responsible for it. There are at least ten masters of Tianyin Sect secretly protecting Wan He's safety. Because of this, Li Jing and the others dared to leave first.
Under the leadership of Granny Zhang, Wan He quickly arrived at the Xiaozhu Palace. This was the first time for Wan He to come to the Xiaozhu Palace. From a distance, he could see the elegance and lightness coming from the Xiaozhu Palace. The exquisite fragrance of bamboo. Look at the Xiaozhu Palace. There are tall and straight green bamboos everywhere. The name of Xiaozhu Palace is indeed worthy of its name. I don’t know why, when I saw the green bamboos all over the palace, Wanhe’s mind came to mind. It's not Concubine Xiao's beautiful face, but the green back of her skirt.
"Master, please go this way." Nanny Zhang's voice interrupted Wan He's thoughts. Then he quickly followed Nanny Zhang into Xiaozhu Palace. Under the leadership of Nanny Zhang, Wan He They also came to a small attic. As Nanny Zhang stood at the door, she made a gesture of invitation to Wan He. Wan He couldn't help but be stunned. This Concubine Xiao couldn't live in a good palace. In this small attic, this hobby is really not ordinary weird.
Although he was thinking in his mind, Wan He did not dare to delay. He stepped forward and opened the attic door and went straight to the second floor. He saw a beautiful figure standing there beside the window sill on the second floor. Wan He He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying: "My lord, Wanhe, is here to see the Queen Mother."
