Chapter 630 is not easy to use

Only three people know how many secret spies there are in Chang'an City, Li Xian, Ye Huaixiu, and Xie Yingdeng.But what Li Xian is going to do now is not to use secret spies, just kill a few pathfinding dogs of a certain important person in the court.If secret spies were to do this, it would be more secretive and safe, and the masters of Jing Zhaoyin, Chang'an Mansion, Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Dali Temple might not be able to find out.People are meant to be killed, and people have to think that it was Li Xian who did it without having to think about it. This is the purpose.If secret spies were used and the cause of death could not be found out, some people would still suspect Li Xian. In that case, it would make people think that Li Xian must have other powers in Chang'an City.

Before the secret spy is exposed, the loss outweighs the gain.

Song Guogong Xiao's Mansion

When Xiao Chu arrived in Chang'an, he was reused by Li Yuan.He was granted the title of Song Guogong and Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.Speaking of which, there is no lack of family support behind Li Shimin, and the most important one that cannot be ignored is the Dugu family, which seems to have declined. This once brilliant family with one family and three queens gradually declined after the overthrow of the Sui Dynasty. Undoubtedly, the Dugu family still has great influence.

Xiao is the son-in-law of the Dugu family.

When it comes to the Dugu family, one must mention Dugu Xin.He was a man in the cloud during the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was famous for his handsome appearance when he was young.This man is a very brave general. He once captured Yuyang King Yuan Sizhou alive by riding alone with a long spear in his hand. General Wei, General Wei, all guarding the Sanjing army, Shangshu Zuopushe, governor of Jingzhou, general of chariots, commanding the military in the ten prefectures of Longyou, governor of Jizhou, named Zhao Guogong.

Dugu Xin said that there are three most conceited people. First, few people can match his poise.Second, both generals and officials are extremely prestigious.The third thing that he is most proud of is that he has chosen several good sons-in-law.

Duguxin has six sons and seven daughters, and all six sons have become officials. Although their fame is not small, they are not as good as his daughters.His eldest daughter is Empress Mingjing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.The fourth daughter married Li Yuan's father, Tang Guogong Li.And his youngest daughter, Dugu Jialuo, married Yang Jian, who was the Queen of Documents in the Sui Dynasty.After Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, he honored his mother as Empress Yuanzhen, and three of his seven daughters became empresses. I am afraid that Dugu Xin would laugh if he knew about it.

It's just that Dugu Xin died too early, and he didn't enjoy the respect his daughter brought him.Dugu Jialuo married Yang Jian when he was 14 years old. In the same year, Duguxin was defeated in the battle with Yuwenhu, and the Dugu family almost fell immediately.Fortunately, Dugu Jialuo, a good daughter, was there, and she did her best to assist Yang Jian in creating the prosperous Sui Dynasty.The reputation of the Dugu family has also reached its peak. After she died, Yang Jian would cry every time she was mentioned, and said sadly: "If there is a knowledge in the spring, you should come and meet me."

What I have to say is that Dugu Jialuo insisted on abolishing the prince Yang Yong and replacing him with Yang Guang.

Xiao is the younger brother of Empress Xiao, the heir of the Liang Dynasty emperor, and the son-in-law of the Dugu family. The combination of these identities is actually quite scary, and it is also very meaningful for Li Yuan to reuse him when he ascended the throne.Xiao's wife is Dugu Jialuo's niece, and Li Yuan is Dugu Jialuo's nephew, so Xiao's wife and Li Yuan are cousins.And the reason why Xiao has a tendency towards Li Shimin is because of the time when Li Shimin conquered Xue Ju.

At that time Xiao was an official in Hechi, Li Shimin came to visit, and Xiao hosted a banquet to entertain him. During the meeting, Li Shimin respected him very much, called him uncle, and handed over Li Yuan's handwriting to him, and sincerely invited him to Chang'an to discuss government affairs. .Xiao Ji was moved and liked Li Shimin's respect for him, so he handed over all the soldiers and horses in Hechi to Li Shimin, and rushed to Chang'an with his entourage.

Speaking of which, Li Shimin invited Xiao to become an official in the Tang Dynasty.

It was time to light the lamps, but Xiao stayed in the study and did not come out.His wife knew that he was in a bad mood these days, so she didn't dare to send someone to disturb him.

In the study room, Xiao looked at the kneeling person in front of him with a livid expression, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Your Majesty didn't kill you but let you go to the local government. This is already a great favor and you still think about disrespecting the order?"

Song Yu's face turned pale, and he quickly explained: "If the lower official is in the local area... how can he survive? The lower official is the censor, and he speaks more bluntly on weekdays. It won't be long before I can't even save my life, please help me, my lord."

Xiao Chu came to Chang'an as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, that is, Minister of the Ministry of Rites.Later, it was changed to Shangshu Zuopushe, with the same position as the prime minister.This person was extremely upright, but when it came to Li Shimin's matter, he had to make more arrangements.

"With me, I will naturally keep you worry-free for the rest of your life, Song Yu..."

Xiao sighed and said: "Speaking of which, Your Majesty doesn't have much prejudice against you. If you have been a county magistrate for three or two years, I will naturally transfer you back to the capital as an official. I just don't understand what you are afraid of." What is it. The censor bluntly says that he is innocent and has a special status, but why do you need to do such blunt things when you go to the locality? Wouldn’t it be easier for a county to respect you than a censor?”

"Sir..."

Song Yu opened his mouth but was interrupted by Xiao, he got up and opened the calligraphy door and said: "You can go to the post with peace of mind, and I will naturally arrange for you later. I have a memorial to write later, today So come here... If you don't leave Chang'an, even I will not be able to speak for you in front of His Majesty."

Song Yu swallowed bitterly, nodded, got up and left lonely.

……

……

After Song Yu left, Xiao was still not in the mood to have dinner. He closed the door of the study and walked back to the table to see that he had written an initial apology, but he didn't know how to write it next.

Li Yuan's anger in the imperial study a few days ago was obviously aimed at him.Chai Shao, Pei Ji and the others are just fish in the pond that got hurt.He had planned to write this memorial since he came back that day, but he still hadn't finished it until today.Censor Song Yu and Fang Zhengran's participation in Li Xian's memorial was indeed ordered by him, but he did not do so out of selfishness.

When Li Yuan invited him to Chang'an, he respected him very much.He even said that Li's family is carried on the shoulders of Qing, and now every time he thinks of Xiao, he is still very moved.Now that the Tang Dynasty is not settled, the government is uneasy and the society is unstable, so he is very anxious.Seeing what His Majesty meant, he attached great importance to Li Xian, King of Yan. He was really afraid that the emperor would make Li Xian's identity public in a moment of confusion, and then pass the throne to this "outsider".

He was optimistic about Li Shimin at first, but the crown prince is mature and prudent, he is indeed the best candidate for succession, he does not want to participate in the battle of the prince for the throne, but since the crown prince is dead, the heir to the throne in his mind is naturally King Qin Li Shimin.As for Li Shimin's fault, it was actually all in the emperor's thought, so he had to think of a way to make the emperor move this thought.

Sitting at the desk and meditating for a long time, Xiao finally did not take up the pen to write this memorial of guilt.

"come"

Xiao ordered: "Go and invite Mr. Wei Zheng to my residence to discuss matters."

"My lord...it is very late now."

The butler outside the door reminded.

"Going right now!"

The butler didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he went to Wei Zheng's house to invite him immediately.Wei Zheng is a person whom the crown prince relies heavily on, and he is the servant of history in the East Palace.If there is no accident, if the prince succeeds to the throne, he will be the mainstay of the court.But after the prince's death, his future is also unclear.A few days ago, Wei Zheng was promoted to be the Minister of Rites after half a month after Li Shimin's follower Li Shimin was killed in a rebellion.

The mention of Wei Zheng was the result of Xiao's strong advocacy in front of Li Yuan.Originally, according to Li Yuan's intention, a group of former officials of Prince Li Jiancheng would not be used again.After all, no matter who inherits the throne in the future, he will not use the old minister of the prince.But Wei Zheng was too upright, just like Xiao's temperament, he couldn't bear Wei Zheng's gradual withdrawal from the court, so he recommended him three times in front of Li Yuan.

With this relationship, Xiao and Wei Zheng have a very good relationship in private.

Now Xiao's mind is in a mess, and he knows that he must find a relatively outsider to help him analyze it.Another reason why he is so concerned about Li Shimin's affairs is...he is the only person in the imperial court who knows where Li Shimin is.

Li Shimin knew that he would be inseparable from the support of his ministers when he returned to Chang'an in the future, and Xiao was the best candidate.So after he met Han Shie, the first thing he did was to send someone to secretly find Xiao.Xiao wrote a letter in his own hand and asked the courier to take it back, explaining the situation in Chang'an.

Now that the King of Qin, Li Shimin, is not dead, and has quickly gained control of another force, Xiao is more determined to support the King of Qin, and now there is only one biggest obstacle, and that is... the King of Yan, Li Xian.

……

……

With Nie Duo's skills, it wasn't too difficult to avoid the forbidden army outside Qi Wang's mansion, but he didn't intend to dodge at all, but walked out directly from the gate.He knew that there would definitely be people from the palace following behind him, and the court's eyeliner had long been scattered in the nearby streets.But he didn't seem to care, instead he seemed to be walking aimlessly on the street.

Walking with a knife at night, if Jing Zhaoyin's patrolling yamen or soldiers of the city defense army saw him, he could even chop him up without interrogation.Nie Duo didn't seem to care at all, the huge door-like knife tied behind his back has become his symbol.

He walked slowly along the street, and he didn't have to look carefully to know that there were at least five people behind him.And when he met the city defense army patrolling troops, one of them quickly detoured to the front to block the city defense army for him.This salary is really not low.

He walked on the street like this for half an hour, turning seven times and eight times, and then ate a bowl of hot noodles without drinking at a snack bar on the side of the road that was still closed.

After his stomach was full, he continued on, still aimlessly.
