The words between Wan He and Yang Lu determined the outcome of the Empress Dowager Xiao. The so-called guarding the mausoleum was just an excuse. After knowing that the Empress Dowager Xiao would become an obstacle for Wan He to ascend the throne in the future, Wan He He was determined to get rid of this obstacle. Of course, given the identity of the Empress Dowager Xiao, it was impossible for Wan He to kill her, so all Wan He could do was to put the Empress Dowager Xiao under house arrest. , and guarding the imperial mausoleum was the best excuse to send troops to guard her and prevent her from contacting the outside world. The Empress Dowager Xiao would spend the rest of her life alone in the imperial mausoleum.
After Wan He gave Yang Lu some instructions, he immediately ordered Yang Lu to do something. But just when Yang Lu just stepped back, Qin Qiong walked in quickly and even bumped into Yang Lu at the door. When they met, Yang Lu, who had always only flattered Qin Qiong, faced Qin Qiong. Naturally, he did not dare to be disrespectful and immediately bowed to Qin Qiong. However, Qin Qiong seemed to be in a hurry and had no intention of paying attention to Yang Lu. He waved his hand and told Yang Lu to retreat, while Qin Qiong himself quickly ran to Wan He, clasped his fists at Wan He and shouted: "Your Majesty, something big has happened,"
When Wan He saw Qin Qiong in such a hurry, he couldn't help but be startled and asked: "Uncle Bao, what happened? Don't be anxious. Speak slowly."
Qin Qiong took a few breaths, then slowly calmed down, and then said to Wan He: "I just received the news. Luo Yi contacted the three border kings Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou and Guo Zihe, leading an army of fifteen Thousands of people, starting from Youzhou and going south to Hedong, may reach Huayin at any time. If they wait for them to reach Huayin and then join forces with the Tang army in Chang'an, Li Jing will be attacked from both sides in Huayin."
After hearing Qin Qiong's information, Wan He couldn't help but be shocked. This was indeed not good news. Wan He immediately said in a deep voice: "Immediately send someone to Liyang and inform King Du Fuwei of Chu to send troops to rescue. At the same time, let Xue Shixiong in Wuling send troops to intercept, and the coalition forces of Luo Yi and the three border kings must be blocked."
"Well," Qin Qiong also said that Wan He had written down the orders given by Wan He one by one, but he did not leave in a hurry because he knew that Wan He must have other tasks to assign to him. Sure enough, Wan He followed up again He said: "Also, immediately send people to increase the intensity of investigating Chang'an. We must find out whether Li Shimin is dead or alive."
Since the last battle of Huayin, on the battlefield, Li Shimin was shot by an arrow for his eldest son, Hengan, and he was still alive and dead. Afterwards, all parties tried their best to explore the mystery of Li Shimin's life and death. Unfortunately, no matter how Wan He sent spies, he was still alive. I couldn't find any information about Li Shimin, and I didn't know whether Li Shimin was dead or alive. Wan He knew very well that the Tang Army with Li Shimin and the Tang Army without Li Shimin were completely different things. Although the existence of a person could determine a situation. It is a bit ridiculous to say that the combat effectiveness of an army is very high, but the fact is that in everyone's eyes, Li Shimin's influence on the Tang army was so great.
Qin Qiong also knew the importance of Li Shimin, so after hearing Wan He's arrangement, Qin Qiong responded again and accepted the task. Then, Wan He thought carefully again, and the whole person was also in the hall. Walking back and forth, he was sure that there must be someone behind the scenes of Luo Yi's alliance with the three border kings. Otherwise, with Luo Yi's ability, it would be absolutely impossible to win over the three border kings. Come to serve him. However, even though Wan He's thinking and analysis skills are much stronger now than before, they are still not able to reach the level of a top counselor in one fell swoop. So after thinking about it, Wan He still can't figure out a clue. Come on, in the end Wan He could only grit his teeth and said to Qin Qiong: "Go and call Master Changsun and the others. This matter is not trivial. I must discuss it with them."
Qin Qiong immediately nodded in agreement, but he didn't need to worry about this task. Soon the soldiers guarding the door left quickly to convey Wan He's order, and then, he carried out Wan He's orders one by one. After writing it down, Qin Qiong clasped his fists and left the hall, leaving Wan He alone in the hall in a daze.
After a while, there was suddenly a sound of frolics coming from outside the hall. Wan He, who was originally very unhappy after hearing the bad news, was even more angry now. He just yelled and cursed: "Bastard, who is making noise outside? "
Wan He shouted out in such a voice, but he immediately heard the laughter outside. But even so, Wan He did not let go of the culprit who disturbed his thoughts, and rushed out of the hall in one breath. , shouted loudly: "Come out, come out, whoever dares to make a noise here, get out of here,"
"Brother Wanhe," not long after, a tired and weak girl's voice rang from the side. Wanhe turned around and saw that it was Shen Xinyan who came from the side of the bush with a lively expression. A head popped out from the flowers and grass, with a look of grievance on his face. He looked at Wan He cautiously, as if he was afraid that he would make Wan He angry.
Seeing that it was Shen Xinyan, the anger in Wan He's heart immediately disappeared. Looking at Shen Xinyan, he smiled and said: "It turns out to be sister Xinyan, why did you come to the front yard today, but I missed you?" Brother Wanhe,”
Since Shen Xinyan was injured last time, the relationship between Wan He and Shen Xinyan has heated up rapidly. Now the only thing left for the two of them is Wan He to marry Shen Xinyan, but Shen Xinyan's brother Shen Mingxuan At the moment, he is still working in Hebei and cannot return to Luoyang for the time being. Naturally, he cannot prepare for Shen Xinyan's marriage, so the marriage of the two has been delayed. Although with Wanhe's current ability, Shen Mingxuan can be married at any time. Shen Mingxuan was transferred back to Luoyang, but it was obvious that Shen Mingxuan had developed a lifestyle habit since he was a child and was unwilling to accept benefits from anyone, so Shen Mingxuan preferred to work hard alone. With his own ability, Shen Mingxuan was finally transferred back to Luoyang. , was the head of the Criminal Department at that time. Of course, Wan He did not say how much effort he put into this appointment, but Wan He did not say anything. This matter was handled through procedures, and Shen Mingxuan was finally transferred back.
The eldest uncle has been transferred back, and the marriage of Wan He and Shen Xinyan will naturally be put on the agenda. During this period, Shen Xinyan also had a great time accompanying her eldest brother, so when she saw Shen Xinyan Xinyan showed her head. Wanhe thought that Shen Xinyan went to Shen Mingxuan to be busy with the wedding. However, just when Wanhe was about to give up, suddenly another person wearing a suit came out from behind Shen Xinyan. The woman in the light green dress bowed her hand to Wan He.
"Haha, it turns out Sister Zhangsun is here," Wan He couldn't help but laugh when he saw the woman. He knew who this woman was. She was the poor woman who was ordered by Li Yuan to force Li Shimin to divorce his wife a few years ago. , the biological sister of Changsun Heng'an and Changsun Wuji, the Changsun family, and the last time he was assassinated in the hunting ground, Wan He also had a much closer relationship with the Changsun family, so the title was no longer as unfamiliar and unfamiliar as before. Outside.
"See you, prince." Although Wan He called Changsun very close, Changsun was a lady of the family after all, and the etiquette that she should have was no less. She gave Wan He a deep blessing and directly addressed Wan He as prince. There was no lack of politeness, but when Shen Xinyan saw Wan He no longer blamed them, she became lively again, chirping to Wan He: "Brother Wan He, brother Wan He , Sister Changsun and I just went to the temple in the city to worship God today,"
"Worship God, oh, worship God," Wan He looked at the indifferent expression on Changsun's face, but he couldn't help being attracted. Maybe Changsun was not a very beautiful woman, but Changsun was She seems to be born with a temperament. No matter what scene she is in, she can always make people feel very peaceful. Even Wan He was almost overwhelmed by this temperament. It took him a long time to react and looked embarrassed. He smiled and said: "It is indeed a good thing to worship gods. If you worship too many gods, the gods will naturally bless you."
Wan He said casually, and immediately looked away from Changsun, because he was worried that if he continued to look, he would be "tricked" again, and Changsun seemed to have noticed the change in Wan He's eyes, and looked at him. Looking at Wan He, it was Yingying Yifu, and then said: "If the prince has no other instructions, then the little sister will temporarily retreat."
Hearing that Changsun was about to leave, Wan He's face showed a trace of reluctance, but he soon returned to normal, because not far away, three counselors, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, were already in court. Walking over here, I'm afraid they came in time in response to Wan He's order. Just Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, there is also Changsun Wuji, and the Changsun family is Changsun Wuji's relative. As for the younger sister, Wan He nodded immediately and replied: "Okay, you can go down first. I just have something important to do."
Hearing what Wan He said, although she wanted to spend more time with Wan He, Shen Xinyan was also a very sensible little girl. She didn't want to disturb Wan He from doing his business, so she quickly led the Changsun family and turned around along the way. Jogging along the road, he ran back to the backyard. At this time, Changsun Wuji and three other people had also arrived. Wanhe also stopped looking at Shen Xinyan nostalgically before Changsun left the direction, and turned his head to face The three people said: "You should know the purpose of calling you here, let's go, we will talk after we go in,"
After saying that, Wan He turned around and waved to the three of them. Changsun Wuji and the others immediately bowed their hands and walked straight into the hall. But before Wan He walked into the hall, he still couldn't help but look towards the backyard. After taking a glance, he could still vaguely see a touch of light green, which gradually disappeared from his sight.
