Chapter 307: The Emperor's Bodyguard

Regarding Youji's affairs in Chang'an, Xia Hongsheng was not in a hurry to make a statement, and went to find someone to arrest someone with great fanfare. With Youji's cunning character, since she dared to break into Xia Hongsheng's home so blatantly, and let Xia Hongsheng know that she was in Chang'an, she must be very sure that Xia Hongsheng would not be able to find her at all. Xia Hongsheng naturally wouldn't think that Youji came to Chang'an just to say hello to him, since she appeared in Chang'an in person, she must have some plan in Chang'an, and this conspiracy would be very big, otherwise she wouldn't have come to Chang'an in person at risk when Chang'an's chaotic stronghold was basically paralyzed.

As soon as the morning dawned, the first thing Xia Hongsheng did was to run to Xu Xiaode's house, inform Xu Xiaode of the matter, and ask Xu Xiaode to protect Xu Hui and Xu Qixian. Yu Ji knows Xia Hongsheng's interpersonal relationships very well, and Xia Hongsheng is worried that Yu Ji will be bad for them. Li Lizhi is either in the Hongwen Pavilion or in the palace, protected by the Ouchi guards, Youji will not risk moving Li Lizhen, but Xu Hui and Xu Qixian, the entourage is only the home guard, and it is easiest for Youji to succeed, so Xia Hongsheng is very worried.

"Virtuous nephew, since the leader of the chaotic party has appeared in Chang'an City, what are you going to do next?" Xu Xiaode listened to Xia Hongsheng's words and asked, "Doesn't the virtuous nephew plan to report this matter to His Majesty?" ”

Xia Hongsheng shook his head and said, "This little nephew hasn't decided yet, but since the thief leader dares to sneak into my house, just to let me know that she is now in Chang'an, it must be foolproof, and I am not afraid of being found." In this case, why waste all the effort. When she comes to Chang'an, she will not make any movement at all, so it is better to wait for her to show her feet. ”

Xu Xiaode stroked his beard and said, "The virtuous nephew should still inform His Majesty about this." As for what His Majesty will do after telling His Majesty, that is His Majesty's business. Besides, if you tell your majesty, your majesty will be able to better protect your nephew and family. As for the idea of the virtuous nephew, he can report it to His Majesty and let His Majesty decide. ”

"That's good. The little nephew immediately entered the palace and reported the matter to His Majesty. Xia Hongsheng thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "Uncle said the same, the ultimate goal of that group of chaotic parties is Your Majesty after all, inform Your Majesty earlier, and Your Majesty should be prepared early." ”

"Okay, you can go with confidence. Qi Xian and Hui'er, the old man will send more people to protect him, and the virtuous nephew can rest assured. You have to protect yourself. Xu Xiaode said to Xia Hongsheng.

Xia Hongsheng said goodbye from Xu Xiaode's mansion, and went to the palace gate with Yi Qiulou and Qi Yong, the two waited outside for the time being, Xia Hongsheng entered the palace alone, and asked the inner servant outside the Taiji Palace, but said that Li Shimin was in the East Palace Lizheng Palace, so Xia Hongsheng went to the Lizheng Hall again, after being informed by the inner servant. went in to meet Li Shimin.

"What happened to Xia Qing today?" After letting Xia Hong be promoted, Li Shimin asked.

Xia Hongsheng did not speak. just glanced left and right, and then looked at Li Shimin again. Li Shimin immediately understood, frowned slightly, and then looked at it and said, "Let's all step down." ”

Wang De saluted and received the order, and then supported all the people in the temple to go out, and then walked out himself. Shut the door shut.

"Tell me, when did it become so mysterious?" Li Shimin put away his smile, stared at Xia Hongsheng and asked, he knew that Xia Hongsheng let his subordinates out, and what he said must be very important.

Xia Hongsheng bowed and saluted. Then he said: "Your Majesty, the minister has learned that the leader of the rebel party has entered Chang'an City, and now all the strongholds of the rebel party in Chang'an City have been destroyed. Your Majesty needs to be more careful! ”

"What?!" Li Shimin suddenly stood up and stared at Xia Hongsheng tightly: "How did Xia Qing know that the leader of the rebellious party and thieves had entered Beijing?" Is this message exact?! ”

"True, Your Majesty. It was seen with his own eyes. Xia Hongsheng replied to Li Shimin: "Last night, the leader of the rebel party sneaked into the minister's house and kidnapped Wechen, but he didn't do anything, only said that he came to say hello to Wechen, and then left. ”

Li Shimin's eyes froze, and he asked solemnly: "Just said hello?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Wechen thought that this was the thief leader provoking Wechen. This man's cunning is rare in the world, and he must be extremely conceited. was placed by Weichen in Qizhou before, and he must be unwilling in his heart. Wechen figured out that the thief sneaked into Wechen's house last night, and he deliberately provoked Wechen, wanting to fight with Wechen and defeat Wechen. But the conspiracy of the chaotic party lies in Your Majesty, so the minister thinks that the conspiracy of the chaotic party in Chang'an City must also be aimed at Your Majesty, and Weichen is only incidental, not only against Weichen, so Weichen came to report to Your Majesty, and please be more careful. Xia Hongsheng nodded and said.

"It's really bold, I didn't go to them, I actually dared to come to Chang'an......" Li Shimin's face flashed a sneer: "It's okay, since they came to die, let's let them end up in this Chang'an City completely." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen feels that since the thief leader dares to sneak into Weichen's house and let Weichen know that they have arrived in Chang'an City, then he is not afraid of Weichen looking for it. They must have found a very secret hiding place, and they were sure that others could not find it, so they dared to be so bold. Weichen thinks that we should take precautions at the moment, and do not take the initiative to attack, because it is very likely that we will get nothing. It's better for us to take precautions ourselves, and at the same time pay attention to the movements in Chang'an City. Since they have infiltrated Chang'an City, they are bound to not stay still like this, they are definitely not recuperating for a long time, so they will definitely make some moves. We'll just wait for them to show themselves. Xia Hongsheng told Li Shimin his suggestion.

Li Shimin thought about it, nodded, and said, "I know, I will consider it." I will assign some palace guards to Xia Qing's house to protect them, Xia Qing only needs to protect himself, this time, I will meet them in person. ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "So, thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin nodded, but suddenly smiled, turned around and picked up a book from Zhuo, and asked, "Xia Qing, how is my preface?" Can you still get into Xia Qing's vision? ”

Although he didn't know why Li Shimin suddenly changed the topic, Xia Hongsheng saw that Li Shimin was going to deal with this matter in person this time, so he followed his words and said: "Your Majesty's preface and sentences are needless to say, and it is full of historical inspiration and significance in the book of the Three Kingdoms, so that readers can provoke deep thinking and obtain the necessary truth from the Three Kingdoms." ”

"Hehe, Xia Qing has a good reputation." Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand.

Li Shimin asked Xia Hongsheng some more words, but he didn't say a word about how to deal with the chaotic party that infiltrated Chang'an City next. It wasn't until Xia Hongsheng was about to retire that he confessed again: "Xia Qing, let the special combat team and those spies be ready at any time." ”

"Yes! Got it! Xia Hongsheng bowed and replied.

"Also, send spies to spy outside your home and secretly search for anyone suspicious, day and night." Li Shimin also instructed: "In addition, those previously identified strongholds of the chaotic party will also send spies to monitor day and night, and there must be no mistakes!" ”

"Obey orders!" Xia Hongsheng nodded: "The minister will go out of the palace immediately to make arrangements." ”

Li Shimin nodded, and said: "Also, Xia Qing once had a grudge with the chaotic party, and those chaotic parties may be unfavorable to Xia Qing." I'll send a few men to escort you all the way back, and I'll send additional men to your home to guard you later. ”

Xia Hongsheng bowed down and saluted again: "Your Majesty Weichen Xie cares!" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand, raised his voice and called Wang De in, and then ordered: "Go and call Li Feng, just say that I have orders." ”

"Yes, everyone!" Wang De nodded, didn't instruct the other attendants, and hurriedly walked out by himself.

"Xia Qing, wait a little longer, I'll give you someone." When Li Shimin saw Wang De going out, he turned his head to Xia Hongsheng and said.

This is the rhythm of having a special bodyguard for this son, the master next to the emperor, it must be at least no worse than Yi Qiulou, Xia Hongsheng couldn't help but be excited, and he was waiting with great anticipation.

didn't wait long, Wang De's voice came from outside, saying that someone had brought it, and Li Shimin let them in, Xia Hongsheng raised his eyes and looked over, and saw Wang De coming in with another old man in the costume of an inner chamberlain.

What's the situation, the master is a eunuch?!

"Old slave greets Your Majesty!" After the man came in, he immediately saluted in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded, asked him to get up, and then said: "Li Feng, I originally promised you to let you live in the palace for a long time. There is still a month to go, and it is time for me to promise you. It's just that now there is another incident, and I have to postpone this deadline. ”

"The life of the old slave is everyone's, everyone, but please command!" The old eunuch named Li Feng bowed down and said.

"From now on, I want you to be Xia Qing's shadow, no matter where Xia Qing is, you should protect him thoroughly." Li Shimin looked at the old eunuch, then looked at Xia Hongsheng and said.

The old eunuch bowed down and saluted Li Shimin, and then turned around and saluted Xia Hongsheng.

Xia Hongsheng wouldn't be embarrassed by the people who came to protect him, so he also returned a salute to him, and Li Feng walked behind Xia Hongsheng, staggered the distance to the left, and stopped moving.

The two retired together, left the palace, and came out of the Vermilion Bird Gate, Xia Hongsheng looked back, stopped, turned around and bowed deeply to Li Feng, and said, "Mr. Li, the safety of the next body is all related to Mr. Yu." Xia thanked Mr. Li in advance! ”

Li Feng smiled on his wrinkled face, took a step, and said with a smile: "Oh, how can the old slave bear such a big gift from Xiahou, and please don't do this, since the old slave has received His Majesty's will, he must protect the Hou Ye thoroughly." Since Your Majesty is letting the old slave be the shadow of the Hou Ye, then the old slave should also be like this. Xiahou also please go, no matter where you go, what you do, you don't have to care about the old slave, if Xiahou needs, the old slave will appear, if Xiahou has an order, just call the old slave's name. ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, turned around and continued to walk out. After walking about ten steps away, Xia Hongsheng's heart moved, and he suddenly turned his head, but he was stunned and found that there was no one behind him! (To be continued.) )
