A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 1072 Things are exposed
The room is dim.

The aroma of incense and wine enveloped the place. There were drinks and fruit plates on the table, and the scent of the woman accompanying the wine still lingered.

Xue Wanche looked at the letter in his hand carefully. This sturdy and burly general held the letter in his big palm-like hands and looked at it very seriously.

His brows were furrowed and his eyes were bright,
His eyes scanned every word carefully, as if he didn't want to miss anything.

Opposite him,

An unexpected figure is sitting there, Helan Chushi.

Qian Niu was once the crown prince of the East Palace, but later he switched to Prince Wei.

He is a person close to King Wei,

Of course, Helan Chushi also had another identity. He was the prospective son-in-law of Prime Minister Hou Junji.

Helan Chushi had not been having a good time in the past two years. He was originally a Qianniu of the East Palace, but when he saw that Cheng Qian could not get the Sacred Heart, he changed his mind and finally hooked up with Wei Wang Li Tai.

To deal with this kind of enemy, one cannot act rashly by alerting the snake. One must plan carefully and act after making a decision. To hit the snake, one has to hit the snake within seven inches. If he can hit the snake, he will kill him with one blow. Otherwise, he will be backlashed. "

Xue Wanche glanced at Helan Chushi, feeling somewhat contemptuous of this boy. He patted this guy on the shoulder and said, "Thank you father-in-law for me."

Xue Wanche was still the emperor's sister, and now he has become the general of Zuo Yulin.

I thought that if the King of Wei seizes the throne, he will also achieve great achievements in the future.
Unexpectedly, the last basin of cold water was poured down, which cooled the whole body. The situation took a turn for the worse. King Wei was cold first, and they also became cold.

Xue Wanche's face was expressionless, "Anyway, please convey my gratitude to your father-in-law for me. I will remember this favor."

Although this letter was burned,

Xue Wanche's voice was trembling due to overexcitement. He held the letter in his hand and said, "I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it. I used to think Wu Huaiyu was pretty good. Especially back then, he could help. Not only did he stop the assassin, but he also Take action and heal my wounds,
Unexpectedly, the assassin who assassinated me on the street was actually the daughter of Fan Xing, and I never expected that Wu Huaiyu was actually covering for the assassin.
Hehe, Fan Xing’s daughter is now Wu Huaiyu’s wife,”

Helan Chushi looked at him and said, "Mr.

But the information above has been told to Xue Wanche.

He stared at Xue Wanche opposite him. This guy was also on the wrong team back then. He was a member of Jiancheng, but Zhenguan has been quite popular in recent years.
The five brothers of the Xue family are all dukes and generals, and Wan Che and Wan Jun are all granted the title of duke.

"Is this true?" Xue Wanche read it several times, his hands shaking and his voice trembling.

Helan Chushi took the letter from Xue Wanche's hand, put it on the candle and lit it, watching the bits and pieces turn into ashes in the flames,

"Mr. Xue can go and investigate, but you must be careful. Mr. Xue should know Wu Huaiyu's abilities."

"What is Mr. Xue planning to do?"

"What are Mr. Xue going to do? It's best not to act rashly. Wu Huaiyu is now favored by the court. If we really want to start a fight, Wu Huaiyu will not be touched. Especially since the matter was found out at the beginning, but time has passed. Not to mention that there is no definite evidence, even if there is, so what? "

"I, Aye, asked me to tell Mr. Xue about this. In fact, I just wanted Mr. Xue to understand that Wu Huaiyu is a hypocritical villain and not to be deceived by him again.
He is the enemy,

"I, Aye, also accidentally found out about this matter. I felt sorry for Mr. Xue. I couldn't stand the hypocrisy of Wu Huaiyu's honey-hearted sword. The couple once secretly assassinated Mr. Xue, but they still seemed to be on good terms with Mr. Xue. In fact, these years, I wonder how many troubles have been secretly given to Mr. Xue?"

In the past two years, Helan Chushi has regretted countless times, but there is no medicine for regret in the world.

"Even after the battle in Tuyuhun, when Brother Xue Gong and Qibi Heli made trouble in front of the imperial court, Wu Huaiyu must have been among them to add fuel to the flames. This guy is too insidious."

"For example, when Mr. Xue was in Lingzhou, wasn't he squeezed out by Wu Huaiyu?"

This man and the Xue family are very important to them, and they must find a way to win them over.

"Thank you, Prime Minister Hou, for reminding me, I understand," Xue Wanche was silent for a while and said through gritted teeth. "I hope I can have time to meet with Mr. Hou in private recently and discuss it in detail."

Helan Chushi smiled and said, "I, Aye, definitely hope to chat with Mr. Xue."

"By the way, I, Aye, got this news from Zhang Liang."

Xue Wanche was a little surprised when he heard the name.

"Then next time I have time, I'll have a drink with Mr. Zhang."

Soon, the two of them left quietly.

Helan Chushi went to Hou Junji's house.
"After Xue Wanche read the letter, it was as expected by Aye. He was very surprised. He also gritted his teeth with hatred towards Wu Huaiyu. He wanted to talk to Aye in person."

"This reckless man." Hou Junji wiped the bow in his hand.

Hou Junji's archery skills were notoriously poor, and he was often ridiculed by others. Although Hou Junji practiced hard, he just couldn't shoot accurately. Over the years, he bought and collected countless good bows and arrows, but his archery skills did not improve at all. .

But the more inaccurate his shooting, the more he likes to collect good bows.

"Aye, Xue Wanche is General Zuo Yulin. Both of their brothers are Dukes. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the only two brothers who have been granted the title of Duke are the Anxing Gui'an Xiuren brothers, not to mention the Xue family. Among the brothers, five are princes and generals, and Xue Wanche is the emperor's brother-in-law."

The Xue brothers were famous in Hebei at the end of the Sui Dynasty and were known as the Five Tigers of the Xue Family. Especially Wan Che and Wan Jun were braver than any other men.

Hou Junji was very aware of the bravery of the Xue brothers. If he had not been a member of Jiancheng, the Xue brothers would have definitely been above him based on their ability.

Now among the brothers of the Xue family, Xue Wanche is the general of Zuo Yulin, Xue Wanjun is the general of Zuo Tunwei, and Xue Wanshu is the general of Zuo Lingjun, the governor of Andong Protectorate Prefecture.

Hou Junji was also overjoyed after learning the secret from Zhang Liang. He would never let go of his grudges with Wu Huaiyu. He would never give in to Wu Huaiyu, but he was still unable to defeat him.

But he would be like a poisonous snake, always staring at Wu Huaiyu, and whenever he found an opportunity, he would give him a fatal blow.

Xue Wanche and the Xue brothers are undoubtedly a strong force, especially the military. Wu Huaiyu has a wide range of contacts in the military, including Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yao Jinniu, Liu Lancheng, etc. Hou Junji also needs the military support from some generals.

The Xue family is pretty good.

"How are you doing with the Chai brothers recently?"

Helan Chushi replied, "I have always had a good relationship with the Chai brothers, especially Chai Er, but Chai's son-in-law has been seriously ill recently and may not be able to survive."

Hou Junji frowned after hearing the news.

Chai Shao was the emperor's brother-in-law, and he was also the emperor's son and daughter. His second son was the emperor's daughter, so he was married to her.

But Chai Shao was not a consort like Doulu Huairang. He was a brave and capable general.

The emperor once commented on the generals in the imperial court. Li Jing, Li Ji, Wu Huaiyu, Li Xiaogong, Chai Shao, and Li Daozong were listed in the first grade and were called virtuous generals and talents. Qin Qiong, Wei Chi, Gong, Cheng Yaojin, Xue Wanche, Hou Junji, and Su Dingfang were listed in the first grade and were called fierce generals and generals. .

These twelve generals basically include the top generals of the Tang Dynasty.

Chai Prince Consort is listed in the first grade, handsome.

This is something that even Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong failed to enter, let alone Hou Junji and Xue Wanche.

Hou Junji admired Chai Shao very much.
This man used to guard Longyou and suppressed the Qiang people who did not dare to raise their heads. Once when faced with the Turkic army surrounding them, he could still calmly let his maids play the piano and dance, and pulled off an empty city plan.

I think back when Wu Huaiyu first made his debut, he was in Chai Shao's army.

"Really dying?"

"Very sick."

Hou Junji was greatly disappointed when he heard this. In his plan, he still wanted to bring Chai Prince Consort over. This man was brave and resourceful, and the city was deep. The key was that he had a grudge against Wu Huaiyu.

At first, Wu Huaiyu didn't care about the past relationship, but he killed Chai Shao's brother directly, and even taught Chai Shao's son a lesson mercilessly. This was to slap Chai Shao's face. Although Chai Shao did not fall out with Wu Huaiyu, That just won't defeat him.

If he really had a chance, Chai Shao would definitely step on him hard.

Actually dying.

In this case, there is no need to worry about it anymore. If Chai Shao dies, Hou Junji will look down on his two sons.

Maybe he should find an opportunity to see Chai Shao again, or ask his son-in-law to see him. He still didn't believe that Chai Shao was about to die. After all, Chai Shao was still very young.

Maybe Prince Consort Chai was just pretending to be sick.

······
"Duke Qiao is seriously ill. Qingyang, you and the prince will come with me to visit him later."

After the meeting,
Li Shimin left Prince Chengqian and Prime Minister Huaiyu behind, and told them that Chai Shao was seriously ill.

"Chai Prince Consort is still so young, why did he become seriously ill all of a sudden?"

Li Shimin said helplessly that Chai Shao's illness this time was similar to his last time, and he took pills.

"Chai Prince Consort is practicing Taoism and refining elixirs at home? Do you dare to eat the elixirs you made?"

"Ah."

Chai Shao is currently the general of the town army, and his position is the general of You Xiaowei. However, although he is one of the twelve generals, in fact, these generals are only of high rank.
In Chang'an City, those who really hold the military power are the Zhonglang and Langjiang generals. The generals have no real power unless they go out to fight and obtain Yufu command troops.

Otherwise, he was drinking tea in the Twelve Guards Yamen of the Imperial City.

Chai Shao was very good at fighting and had made many military exploits in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, after all, he was also a relative of the emperor and had a close relationship with Jiancheng, so he was relatively suppressed by his former follower Li Shimin during the Zhenguan Dynasty.

Chai Shao is also aware of the situation, so he has become more and more low-key in recent years.

But he still can't imitate Li Xiaogong and raise many concubines and listen to songs and dances at home. After all, he is still a concubine. Even if Princess Pingyang Zhao died early, after all, he still has the status of a royal concubine.
In recent years, Chai Shao practiced Taoism at home and also practiced elixirs.

When Yuchi Gongtai was arrogant and was deprived of his official rank and sentenced to confinement, he also practiced Taoism and made elixirs at home.

But no one expected that Chai Shao would really make an elixir by himself, and then he would actually dare to eat the elixir he made.
If you eat this, you will be poisoned.

He had taken a lot of the elixirs he made himself, and the toxicity had accumulated a lot. Now that he was lying down, the doctors were helpless. It was even worse than Li Shimin's. He took the elixirs for a longer time, and his erysipelas was bigger. .

Li Shimin took Huaiyu to visit today, saying that he wanted Huaiyu to treat her. In fact, Li Shimin also said that Chai Shao probably wouldn't be able to survive this time, and this time he would just provide hospice care.

After all, he is his brother-in-law, after all, he has made such great contributions to the country, and after all, he is still his son and daughter.

He recalled that when he was still young, Chai Shao was the Qianniu of the East Palace of the Sui Dynasty, and he followed Chai Shao even when it was built. At that time, Chai Shao was still Li Shimin's chance.

"This elixir is harmful to people." Li Shimin remembered the last time he took the elixir and was poisoned, and he was still frightened. He turned around and warned the prince sternly, "You must never touch elixirs again in the future. Don't believe in any immortality pills."

Wu Huaiyu said, "Your Majesty is right. If there really is an elixir of immortality in this world, the Emperor Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han would not have died."
