Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Bingzhou Chapter 145 Anxious Xiao Yu
"Hmph, how can those untouchables treat us? Your Highness is wise and powerful, and anyone who doesn't support His Highness will die." Xu Jingzong said disdainfully: "I heard that the Lou Guan sect has countless properties in Guanzhong, and they don't even care about the tenants.
Among them, there are countless gold and silver treasures in the temple. According to the official’s opinion, their fields should be confiscated and owned by the imperial court, the tenants should be redistributed, and the gold and silver treasures should be rewarded to the soldiers for military use.”….
"It's not just the Lou Guan sect, but also other Buddhist temples and other Taoist temples." Changsun Wuji said at the side.
"This move is of great importance. We should wait until His Highness comes back to discuss it!" Cen Wenwen's eyes lit up, but he quickly calmed down. Religious matters are also related to national policy. They, as ministers, have the right to make suggestions, but
He has no decision-making power. What's more, the emperor Lu Zhaoci is different from other emperors. According to Cen Wenwen's understanding of Lu Zhaoci, this king may be difficult to serve. Although he has made great contributions, he is also
Always warn yourself not to be arrogant, otherwise you will definitely be the unlucky one.
Of course, not only did he understand this truth, but Changsun Wuji and others also nodded and stopped discussing the issue. It is better to be careful about this kind of thing.
"Hey! Mr. Xiao." Everyone had just left the hall. They saw Xiao Yu standing outside the hall, walking back and forth, obviously waiting for them. As the leader of the ministers, Cen Wenwen quickly shouted.
"Master Cen, I have something to discuss with you." Xiao Yu's face showed a hint of embarrassment, but it soon returned to its original appearance, making Cen Wenwen and others laugh secretly in their hearts.
"Hmph, don't think that I'm trying to curry favor with you." When Xiao Yu saw everyone's appearance, his heart suddenly burst into anger, and he snorted coldly: "I'm here for Lu Zhaoci."
"Bold." Cui Renshi's expression changed. Who dared to call Lu Zhaoci's name at this time, I'm afraid it was only Lu Zhaoci's grandfather and father.
"Why, Lord Cui, do you want to kill me?" Xiao Yu's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm.
"Mr. Xiao, please." Upon seeing this, Cen Wenwen waved his hand towards Master Cui Ren and walked to Xiao Yu respectfully.
Master Cui Ren was slightly angry when he saw this, but he just snorted coldly and watched Xiao Yu and Cen Wenwen chatting quietly.
"What?" Suddenly I heard Cen Wenwen scream in surprise. Everyone's expressions changed. What kind of person is this Cen Wenwen? No matter what happens, this person will always have a look of humility on his face. Once upon a time, there was such a kind of expression.
The situation was so rude in public.
"Lord Changsun, please come aside." Cen Wenwen glanced at the crowd and suddenly landed on Changsun Wuji's face, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Master Cen, what's the matter?" Changsun Wuji was also very curious. He had never thought that this would be related to him, and he couldn't help but show surprise on his face.
"This, this." Cen Wenwen laughed awkwardly and suddenly said, "Brother Changsun, have you been in or out of the Prince's Palace recently?"
"Of course, Xiaguan's miserable sister lives there. With His Highness's permission, Wuji can enter and leave the palace freely." Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Sir, is there something wrong with this? Or
He said that there are too many female relatives there, and it would be inconvenient for Xiaguan to go there. If that is the case, Xianguan will take Wugu back home in the future."
"That's enough, auxiliary engine, go back to Xuande Hall." Cen Wenwen looked cold, glanced at the guards around him, and snorted: "This matter must not be spread, otherwise I will kill you." A group of guards responded quickly.
Come down.
"My poor sister." In the Xuande Hall, everyone was sitting on the Grand Master's chair. Cen Wenwen took the seat of chief, and Xiao Yu sat on the side with a gloomy face and slightly closed eyes, but did not speak.
"Ahem. This matter concerns His Highness. It is a matter of the inner court. I think it is more appropriate to leave this matter to Your Highness." Fang Xuanling also had a troubled look on his face and looked at Xiao Yu with something evil in his eyes.
, although he knew that Xiao Yu had no choice, but this kind of thing was really not something that a foreign minister could say.
"I also think that this matter should be left to His Highness." Master Cui Ren also nodded, glanced at Xiao Yu slightly dissatisfied, and said: "What's more important is that this matter cannot be known to the princess, because she is about to give birth.
, If this matter touches the princess, then I will forgive her sin even if I die a hundred times.”….
Everyone's expressions changed, and even Xiao Yu opened his eyes and stared at Master Cui Ren. Although the matter of recognizing one's ancestors and returning to the clan is a big one, how can it be compared to the birth of the King of Han's legitimate son? Maybe this son will be born in the future.
Prince, you can't neglect it anymore. The hall calmed down again for a while.
"If anything happens to the princess and the prince, I'm afraid that no matter how great your contributions are, your highness will not be able to kill you." Cui Renshi looked coldly and glanced at everyone. Although everyone was angry, they still understood and remained silent.
.
"Yes, yes, we should wait for a while to discuss this matter." Changsun Wuji nodded repeatedly and said: "What's more, the matter of recognizing the ancestor and returning to the clan is so important. How can we wait because of the eldest princess's one-sided words?
Let's talk after His Highness comes back!" Changsun Wuji faced Xiao Yu's murderous gaze and quickly changed his words.
"Yes, yes, there is Li Daen's army outside the city at the moment. It would be better for us to pay attention to the battle situation outside the city." Cen Wenwen warned again: "Mr. Xiao, we must not let the princess know about this. Sir, this matter
Don't worry, I, Cen Wenwen, have risked my life to accomplish this for Mr. Xiao." As Cen Wenwen was about to stand up and leave, he suddenly remembered Xiao Yu's bad temper and hurriedly warned him.
.
"In Lord Cen's eyes, am I the one who doesn't know the general situation?" Xiao Yu snorted coldly: "I still know the safety of the princess and the prince. Hum, but if this matter cannot be done, Lord Pushe,
I won't let it go." As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and walked out of Xuande Hall.
On the top of Chang'an City, Lu Zhaoying looked majestic and looked at the darkness below the city. There was no trace of fear on his face. He smiled and pointed at a middle-aged military general with a handsome face below the city and laughed and cursed.
"King Dingxiang, after traveling thousands of miles, you didn't expect to reach the city of Chang'an and still not be able to enter Chang'an! Look, this is the emperor's imperial edict for you. From today on, you can no longer be surnamed Li. You have been deprived of your clan status, but
I wonder what your surname will be from now on? It seems that the surname Li is no longer possible, or you can just give it Lu! I will report it to my brother and let you join my Lu family ancestral hall."
"General, are we going to give him the national surname?" At this time, Qin Yong also interjected.
"The surname of the country?" Lu Zhaoying showed a trace of surprise on his face. He looked at Qin Yong, his head suddenly shook like a rattle, and said: "How can that be done? Oh, King Dingxiang, what is your surname now?"
"Lu Zhaoying, don't be so proud. Have you seen my son? The elite soldiers from the Western Regions, even their size, can crush you to death. In my opinion, you still open the city gate obediently." Li Daen's eyes widened.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, he looked at Lu Zhaoying on the top of the city. He was very depressed. He marched thousands of miles without any obstacles along the way, even with the emperor's seal and scepter. However, he did not expect that when he arrived at Chang'an, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.
Not only did he not enter Chang'an, but he was told that he was no longer a member of the Li clan, which immediately made him feel something was wrong.
"Just you?" Lu Zhaoying waved and saw his soldiers escorting Pei Ju and Ma Yan to block the city wall.
"Father!"
"Mr. Pei!"
The screams of the two brothers Pei Gongdao and Li Dayen suddenly sounded outside the city.
"Haha, Li Da'en, you didn't expect that! Your conspiracy has been discovered by my brother. What kind of capital do you have to be so arrogant and unruly? Look, even though you can march thousands of miles and quietly arrive at the gate of Chang'an, how can you do it?
Can you still quietly return to the Western Regions? Behind you, there is no more food and grass support, only the endless harassment and attacks of our army. I am afraid that tens of thousands of your elite will be lost here." Lu Zhaoying sneered: "To be honest.
Let me tell you, the Zuowuwei army has been stationed in Qingzhou, and it is impossible for you to go back even if you want to."
The bad news came one after another. Li Dayen's face was pale after being hit, Pei Gongdao's face was ashen, and Pei Xuanji's face was despairing. The same was true for those who followed him.
Li Daen held a long spear in his hand, pointed at Chang'an City and shouted loudly: "Right now, we only have three days of food reserves. Behind us, there are tens of thousands of troops approaching us. Although the walls of Chang'an City are strong in front of us, there are
With only thousands of troops and horses, our only way out is to capture Chang'an. Only by capturing Chang'an can we survive."
"Capture Chang'an! Capture Chang'an!"
"Capture Chang'an!"
……………
This Li Da'en was worthy of being a man who could defeat the Turkic cavalry. His talent was far superior to that of Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong. His ability to boost morale was probably not something that Li Xiaogong and his ilk could do.
