Chapter 420: Arrest Li You Immediately
Empress Eldest Sun thought about lying down and resting for a while. She told the maids not to disturb her, and went to the bedside herself, ready to rest.
At this time, she saw the "Li You Poetry Collection" next to her pillow, and her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said in her heart: "Maybe Li You has a way." ”
Thinking of this, she ordered someone to bring a pen and paper and wrote a letter. Let people send it to the crown prince Li Chengqian, and he will send someone to Luoyang to hand it over to Li You.
Luoyang City, Xunfang Pavilion.
The work and rest time of the women in the Qinglou is to sleep in the second half of the night and in the morning, get up at noon, and start receiving guests after two o'clock in the afternoon.
At noon that day, Fang Xiaoyu finished dressing up and waited for Yahuan to bring him lunch. Yahuan Yicui has always delivered lunch at noon on time, and I don't know why today. It's been a stick of incense time, and Yicui still hasn't arrived.
When encountering such a thing, Shuangxiaoyu would not go out to ask, she leaned on a table in front of the window, picked up a piece of letterhead and admired the poem written by Li You for her.
"Clouds want clothes, flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon. If it weren't for the jade mountain, it would meet Yaotai under the moon.?
A branch of red dew condenses incense, and the clouds and rain Wushan are in vain. By asking who in the Han Palace is like, poor Feiyan leans on new makeup.?
Famous flowers love each other, and the king looks at it with a smile. Explain the infinite hatred of the spring breeze, and the north of the Agarwood Pavilion leans on the threshold pole. ”
This poem written by Li Bai to Yang Guifei was taken by Li You and given to Fang Xiaoyu. This poem is also one of Li Bai's pinnacle works, which Fang Xiaoyu can't put down.
After Fang Xiaoyu chanted softly, he looked at the verdant willow branches outside the window in a daze, and Li You's handsome face appeared in front of him. She was stunned for a moment, sighed softly, and shook her head.
At this time, Yahuan Yicui came in, she pulled her face and pouted, and put the food on the table without a sound.
Fang Xiaoyu asked, "Yicui, what's wrong with you?" ”
Yicui said with tears in her eyes: "Tang Niu'er was recruited by the government, and he will go to the government to report in the afternoon." "Tang Niu'er is the thug of Xunfang Pavilion, and he is Yicui's good friend.
Fang Xiaoyu knows the reason. She said in her heart: "What His Royal Highness King Qi said makes sense, the war has come and has begun to affect people's lives. ”?
At this time, the old bustard Wang Siniang also came in with an unhappy face, she stood at the door, and said directly: "Xiaoyu, what kind of patrol camp does the government want to build, not only let us send people, but also donate, this money can't be paid by my mother and I alone, you sisters also have to share some for your mother." ”
Fang Xiaoyu said: "It doesn't matter, Mom, you can deduct it directly from my share." ”
Wang Siniang's face improved a little, and said: "Xiaoyu is still sensible, unlike your sisters, who are all greasy and crooked when they hear about money." ”
Not long after, Li You came, and he said to Fang Xiaoyu: "The situation is getting more and more critical, I am about to leave Luoyang temporarily, take care of yourself." ”
He pointed to the two plainclothes men behind him and said, "The two of them are strong in martial arts, so they will stay by your side and be responsible for protecting you during the war." ”
Fang Xiaoyu knew that he could be like a fish in water in a peaceful environment, but once he encountered a strong gangster, he was powerless to resist at all. So, she said; "Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you to these two strong men."
Li You said to the two special combat members: "You two must protect the safety of the little fish lady. If necessary, protect her from Luoyang City. ”
The two special combat team members replied angrily: "Lord Wang, please rest assured, the little one will definitely protect the little lady to the death." ”
Li You said again: "Xiaoyu, your mother will stay in Zhengzhou for the time being, and when Luoyang City settles down, I will send her old man back." ”
Fang Xiaoyu said gratefully: "Your Highness is still thoughtful. Just do as Your Highness wishes. ”
Li You said: "Then I will take my leave." Take care. With that, he turned to leave.
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Your Highness, if you need the help of the slave family, please send someone to find the slave family." ”
Li You knew the preciousness of her promise. He didn't want to put her in danger, though. He didn't say anything else, glanced at Fang Xiaoyu, and turned to leave.
Li You was about to leave Luoyang, he knew that it was no longer meaningful for him to stay here, and if he was taken hostage by the eldest grandson Shunde and others, he would not be able to do anything. And there will be life-threatening conditions.
Li You returned to the inn, and as soon as Xue Rengui saw him, he reported: "Lord Wang, there are more and more people watching the inn outside. They don't hide their intentions anymore, and they are openly monitoring this place. Looks like we're going to be able to do something about you. ”
Li You asked, "What are your plans?" ”
Xue Rengui said: "Lord Wang, the minister has prepared three sets of plans, and Zhou Qing's men and horses have arrived outside Luoyang City, and I will answer you to break out tonight." ”
Luoyang Governor's Mansion.
Ma Wengui came to the study of the eldest grandson Shunde and said: "Xue Guogong, the lower officials have already been arranged, and hundreds of soldiers and horses have been stationed around the Nancheng Inn, when will you do anything to him?" ”
The eldest grandson Shunde said: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei's impeachment of Li You has already played a role, and His Majesty has instructed the Imperial Historical Observatory to investigate him. It seems that the imperial court has not yet grasped the secrets on the river for a while, which just bought us time to raise troops. Therefore, there is no need to do anything to him for the time being. What is that kid doing now? ”
Ma Wengui said: "He really has the leisure to run to Xunfang Pavilion every day. ”
The eldest grandson Shunde said: "It's really a thing that doesn't know whether to live or die. Keep an eye on him. ”
At four o'clock in the afternoon, a carriage came to the Nancheng Inn, and the special combat team members in charge of guarding the gate stepped forward to check it and let the carriage drive in.
Xue Rengui pushed open Li You's door and said to Li You, "Lord Wang, who do you think is coming?" ”
Li You looked at it and said in surprise: "Why are you?" ”
The person who came was dressed in men's clothes, and she arched her hand and said, "The folk girl Huang Xiugu has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi. ”
The person who came was Huang Xiugu, and the other person was Lu Xiaoqi.
Li You said worriedly, "Why are you here?" It's too dangerous here. ”
Huang Xiugu said: "Lord Wang, my father is worried about your safety, so he specially asked me to help you leave Luoyang City." Rest assured, as long as you're able to get out of here, we've got you out of town. ”
She didn't say big words, Caokou is a local snake, and they are very familiar with Luoyang City, and they themselves have a lot of strength here.
Xue Rengui said with relief: "You came at the right time. We're getting ready to escort the prince away. ”
Lu Xiaoqi said: "Lord Wang, that Chen Jun has been escorted to Chang'an by Lord Wang. ”
"Okay, you guys did a great job." Li You praised.
Then, Huang Xiugu introduced the situation outside the city.
After Huang Laoba and others left the city, they entered the county seat of Xishui, and were protected by the county commander Miao Xiting and the county lieutenant Ma Ming and others, and Zhang Guigui and others have now also entered the county seat of Xishui.
After Zhang Guigui introduced the situation in Luoyang City, Huang Laoba, Huang Xiugu and others came to rescue Li You. Now, Huang Laoba, Zhang Guigui, Miao Xiting, and County Lieutenant Ma Ming and others have come to the outside of Luoyang City, ready to take Li You out of the city.
At half past five in the afternoon, the Luoyang Governor's Mansion.
Changshi Wei Stork hurriedly came to see the eldest grandson Shunde, and he said: "Xue Guogong, no, there is news from Tongguan, saying that Hou Junji has appeared in Tongguan. ”
It turned out that the eldest grandson Shunde decided to raise troops, so he sent a large number of scouts to monitor the movements of the city, Tongguan is the east gate of Chang'an, and if there is a military action in the imperial court, it can be reflected there first.
On that day, after Li Shimin and others had made military arrangements, they began to mobilize a large army. Because it takes time for the army to assemble, Hou Junji and Gao Yong came to Tongguan with 3,000 cavalry to prevent the rebels of Changsun Shunde from raiding Tongguan.
Among the people sent to Tongguan to spy on the soldiers, there was the eldest grandson Shunde's personal soldiers, he had seen Hou Junji, and when he saw Hou Junji appear in Tongguan, he hurriedly flew back to Luoyang to report.
When the eldest grandson Shunde heard the news, he gritted his teeth and said, "The imperial court is finally going to attack us. ”
Wei Stork asked, "What about that Li You?" ”
The eldest grandson Shunde said: "You immediately inform Ma Wengui and ask him to go and arrest Li You, as much as possible." With this hostage, it also made Li Shimin throw himself into a trap. ”
Wei Stork asked, "Li You still has some retinue around him, what if he resists?" ”
The eldest grandson Shunde said: "If you can't hold the living, you will be killed." The death of a prince in Luoyang is also a good thing, and it also cuts off the retreat of those who are waiting and watching. ”
"Yes, Xue Guogong." The stork turned and went out.
The streets of Luoyang are in chaos. A large number of officers and soldiers rushed in the direction of the Nancheng Inn.
Ma Wengui rode on the horse, and while beating the horse forward, he said, "Hurry up, don't let them run." ”
