Nightfall Chapter 85: Someone is waiting, someone is blocking

At this kind of moment, there are not many people who can find the most critical point in the complex world as calmly and clearly as Shangguan Yangyu, but there are always some.

The house of Chao Xiaoshu is on Henger Street of Chunfeng Pavilion in Dongcheng.

He held the child, sat next to the old father, talking in a low voice, and then dipped the tip of his chopsticks in the wine and stretched it to the child’s mouth. Not waiting for the child to lick it curiously, Linzi hurriedly grabbed it and stared. Gave him a glance.

Today is the birthday of the grandfather Chao. There was no big banquet at Chaozhai. He only invited some people close to him. The brothers of the Yulong Gang had asked for leave from their respective yamen and brought gifts.

Thinking about the new emperor's enthronment, the undercurrents of Chang'an city are surging, and the banquet in the house must be something that the brother has to confess. After everyone kowtows to the old man, they waited quietly to listen to the instructions. Unexpectedly, the little tree was there. Nothing was said at the banquet, it was such a picture of family peace.

At this moment, the housekeeper hurried in and said a few words in a low voice. The people at the banquet were not surprised when they heard the words, but Chao Xiaoshu did not respond, and said calmly: "What gifts did your Highness give?"

The steward took out the gift form and reported it carefully, not daring to make any omissions.

A large part of the gifts Li Yu sent to the court house was given to the grandfather of the court—a stick of boxwood, a piece of Shoushan stone, lake crabs from Daze, and Jiujiang double steaming from Hebei County. The Chen Jinji powder and palace silk, which were rewarded to Mrs. Chao, are left with countless toys for children.

Listening to the voice of the steward, he raised his eyebrows at Xiaoshujian slightly. He did not expect that His Royal Highness would give these homely gifts. After a moment of silence, he said: "Continue to eat and drink."

So the brothers continued to eat and drink.

At the end of the banquet, go to Houyuan to listen to the opera towards the old man. Mrs. Chao Xiaoshu took the child to rest. All the servants were invited out of the flower hall, and the rest were the brothers of the Yulong Gang.

Chang Xiaoshu held the teacup and shook it gently, and said, "You are not the quagmire men of the year. You have to be more low-key. Especially Chen Qi, these days you don’t care about the guards’ shifts, even if Xu Chongshan doubts you. , Don’t bother, Qi Si, let the brothers in the Gang be quiet."

He has ignored the help of the Yulong Gang for a long time. But what he said is still like a sacred decree to the Yulong Gang. People like Chang Siwei have already left the Yulong Gang and are serving in the court, but they will never oppose his arrangement, or even Don't even ask.

The only person who will ask is Chen Qi. Because he is the think tank of the Ichthyosaur Gang.

"How does the fifth brother make arrangements?" Chen Qi looked at the silent middle-aged man sitting on the right side, and said: "His Royal Highness responded very appropriately. We can only accept love, but the fifth brother is now in charge of the Xiaoqi Camp. , Gongli certainly cannot let him continue to be silent. He always needs to give a clear attitude."

Chao Xiaoshu put down his teacup and said: "Many of my brothers are now serving in the court. Since they are officials, of course they have to share the worries for the court, and do what they should do according to the old law of the Tang Dynasty."

The flower hall is quiet. Although everyone admits that what he said to Xiaoshu is correct, it is not before. There are many things that everyone still doesn't understand.

Chen Qi looked at your elder brothers, frowned slightly and said: "I understand what everyone is worried about. But I don't think there is any need to worry. There is no problem with the will, because it is too easy to be exposed. You must know when your Majesty passes away. There are at least tens of thousands of people in Helan City who can testify."

Liu Wu has always been silent, his current official position is the highest and the most important position. Until then, I looked towards Chao Xiaoshu and asked solemnly: "Big Brother. Did your Majesty ever tell you that the throne will be passed on to whom?"

Shook his head towards Xiaoshu, thinking of the real eldest brother of the Yulong Gang, thinking of the former friend, but now he can't see it anymore, and he can't help feeling tired.

"Everyone is doing nothing during this time." He said.

Qi Si had a headache, and asked, "Can you just wait like this?"

Chao Xiaoshu said: "All we have to do is wait."

"Waiting for what?"

"Waiting for the Queen Empress and Master Huang Yang to return to Chang'an."

"What if they can't come back?"

"Then there is a problem."

……

……

The horseshoe fluttered, and the very soft turf soaked by rainwater flew up.

More than ten Tang Qi drove into the North Camp. Both the knight and the horse looked extremely tired, with rain and mud spots on his body, and his appearance looked very embarrassed.

The school lieutenant of the Peking University Camp, after comparing the documents, welcomed the more than ten horses into the barracks at the fastest speed, and then summoned the servicemen to arrange hot water and food for these guests.

The general headed by more than ten Tang Qili said: "I want to see the general, and I will talk about other things later."

The lieutenant was surprised when he heard the words. He thought that in such a short time, he rushed from Gushan County to Peking University. He was exhausted and painful to come. He actually wanted to meet the general without taking a rest. What happened? thing?

The young general from Gushan County is Huashan Mountain.

This person has a deep family background and received full support from the princess line. At a young age, he served as the head of the Sanzhou Town Army. The army under his command was stationed in Gushan County. Regardless of status or strength, he should not be underestimated. He proposed To see the general as soon as possible, Peking Daying couldn't find a reason to excuse him.

In the general’s mansion, General Xu Chi glanced at the gloomy sky outside the window and was silent for a long time, then turned around, looked at Hua Shanyue and said: "You left before the rain stopped?"

Hua Shanyue respectfully replied: "Yes, uncle."

Xu Chi said: "Young people are always so impatient to do things. It is important to know that soldiers are a big deal. Don’t be careful. As the head of the Sanzhou Town Army, leaving the base alone is a violation of military regulations. What accident happened on the road, not to mention the grief of the parents at home, how should I explain it to the court?"

Hua Shanyue suppressed his exhaustion and said: "It's urgent, so I came in a little rush."

General Xu Chi has always been low-key and calm. Even though he heard the urgent four-character, he remained silent again for a long time, and then said slowly: "Do you know that I didn't want to see you?"

Hua Shanyue knew that the general had already guessed what he was coming for, and smiled and said, "But in the end, my uncle chose to see me. This shows that you are willing to listen to me."

Xu Chi said: "I know that what you are about to say is your Royal Highness... or what your Majesty wants to say to me today, but I still suggest you not to say it."

Hua Shanyue was startled slightly and asked: "Why?"

Xu Chi said: "Because those words are bound to be disrespectful, and I...do not want to tie you personally."

Hua Shanyue said: "If my uncle still thinks it is disrespectful after hearing what I said, then don't say to bind me, even if you behead my head, I will have no complaint."

Xu Chi quietly looked into his eyes and said: "The grain and straw sent by Beidaying to Helan City came out of the city the moment the heavy rain stopped. Do you think what you have to say is meaningful?" /

Hua Shanyue said sincerely: "The general misunderstood his majesty and his majesty. No one ever thought of cutting off the food and grass in Helan City, and no one would be shameless enough to play tricks on the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. The requirement of is actually very simple, I just hope that your subsequent actions will be slower."

Xu Chi raised his eyebrows slowly, his voice getting colder, and asked: "Why slower?"

Hua Shanyue greeted his gaze without flinching, and said: "Uncle has always been known for his calmness. The first emperor has safely handed Bei Daying into your hands. Now that the new emperor has taken the throne, the undercurrent of Chang'an City is surging, and it is not peaceful, Queen. If the empress returns to Chang'an one day later, Datang can be more stable. If so, why can't it be slower?"

Xu Chi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is still in Helan City, do you want me to ignore it?"

Hua Shanyue said: "The day your Majesty returns to Chang'an City, Chang'an City cannot withstand a disturbance."

"It's really naive." Xu Chi said blankly: "If these are the words, it will be difficult for Your Highness to convince me. On the contrary, I will start to doubt what His Highness's intention is."

Hua Shanyue said: "The edict was announced in front of the Manchu civil and military forces. If there is a problem, I believe someone in Chang'an City has secretly notified his uncle, but since until now, no one, including the empress, has secretly reported to his uncle. , Then your doubts have no meaning."

Suddenly there was a slight chaos in front of the General’s Mansion, and there was an emergency military situation. Hua Shanyue said: "Military situation is important. Uncle will deal with it first. We will continue to talk about this later."

After a while, Xu Chi finished handling the military situation and returned to the house. He looked at Huashan Mountain, which was standing next to the bookshelf and reading a book. In fact, he didn’t know where he was flying, and said: " There is some movement."

Hua Shanyue did not expect that the general would inform him of the emergency military situation, frowning and saying: "I came galloping from Gushan County and changed four batches of horses on the way. I know better than anyone how difficult and dangerous the road is after the rain. It is even more difficult to think about the wasteland. How can a large number of cavalry move when the convoy is barely able to pass? The prairie cavalry is relatively light and has an advantage for Tang Qi in this climate. In this case, my uncle should be more cautious."

"In short, you just want to persuade me to take up Helan City more slowly."

General Xu Chi stared into his eyes and said, "Don’t use the Golden Tent King’s ambush to influence my judgment, because my cavalry will never be ambushed. Your Royal Highness is a wise man, knowing me You will only obey your Majesty and act according to Tang law. If you want to convince me, you must have other means."

Hua Shanyue took out several files tightly wrapped in oil cloth from his arms, and placed them on the table gently.

"According to His Royal Highness's original intention, it is the best result to be able to convince uncle without taking out these things, because once these things are spread, it will greatly tarnish the reputation of Datang and the first emperor. "

When Xu Chi heard what he said so cautiously, the expression on his face also became cautious. After he walked to the desk, he slowly opened the files, and his eyes became colder and colder as he read.
