Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

Ordinary people rush on the road, but they are exhausted by boats and cars.

Li Changshou was completely a beauty in a car when he was on his way, so he was very happy.

In other words, since he left Jinyang City, in order to restore his skills as soon as possible and greatly reduce the period of weakness, Li Changshou can be said to never forget his original intention day and night, and his mind is full of healing and health.

As the saying goes, how can you go to the battlefield without a good body?

Of course, he did not go to Yanzhou this time for the purpose of going to the battlefield, but there are some things that are not afraid of [-], just in case, and it is better to control fate and safety in his own hands.

A few days later, Li Changshou had already entered the boundary of Yanzhou.

Different from the vast land and rich resources and dense population of the Central Plains, and the rich and prosperous water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, Yanzhou is located between the Central Plains and Mobei, and belongs to the border area between the two countries.

In the past dynasties, the people in Yanzhou area were tough and war-torn. Most of the travelers you saw along the way would carry a few swords and weapons for self-defense, or spend some gold and silver to hire bodyguards to escort them.

The customs and customs of the entire Yanzhou are completely different. People like Li Changshou who take their female relatives and go directly on the road without even a guard and servant around him cannot be said to have never been seen, at least they are extremely rare.

This also caused many people to feel hostile when they saw Li Changshou and his party, as if they were eyeing fat prey.

"The law and order in Yanzhou is not as good as expected."

Li Changshou shook his head looking at the dozens of corpses scattered all over the ground.

This is not the first group of idiots who don't have eyesight to die, they don't need him to do it, even Gu Xiaoya and An Huixuan are too lazy to do it, so the beautiful female knight of Europa volunteered to go up and practice her hands.

She is not a flower in a greenhouse like little princess Isa, and she has been battle-tested in Europa. Although her own strength is not the strongest among the twelve knights of the Holy Britannia Empire, she can rely on her family's holy sword and scabbard. , sitting firmly at the top of the Twelve Knights.

"Your Majesty, this is a border area after all. It has been harassed from the north and south all the year round. Many people were displaced and ended up going astray."

An Huixuan has traveled the rivers and lakes for many years, and naturally she has been to Yanzhou, so she is very familiar with the situation here.

She sighed softly, even in the rivers and lakes, there are many sects here in Yanzhou, and various small sects emerge one after another, but there has never been any great sect that can hold down those people below.

Simple one word.

chaos!
"Let's advance to the city."

Yanzhou is now facing the threat of [-] cavalry from Mobei. Fortunately, Yanzhou Forte has not suffered from the flames of war.

Not far away is the capital of Yanzhou, Youzhou City, which is also the largest and most prosperous city in Yanzhou. At the same time, the Wei family who guarded Yanzhou for generations settled in Youzhou City.

It can be said that in the past few decades, it is precisely because of the guardianship of the Wei family that the people of Yanzhou can be protected from burning, killing and looting by the barbarians in Mobei, and they can barely set up a family with peace of mind.

Li Changshou did not inform in advance, but Xianmen made preparations early and arranged a place to stay in Youzhou City.

At the same time, the people from the Imperial City Division had already been waiting for a long time.

"Chen Guan Peng pays homage to His Majesty!"

No one thought that the person waiting for Li Changshou in Youzhou City was none other than Guan Peng, the imperial envoy who is currently in charge of the Imperial City Secretary and deeply trusted by Li Changshou.

This kid is not very old, but his ability to do things is not small. He often only needs a look from Li Changshou to know his mind, and then Pidianpidian will take the lead in preparing.

With such a talent, Li Changshou had long considered waiting for him to train for a few years before arranging him to enter the Yushutai to be trained as Gu Fan's right-hand man.

No matter how loyal those people in the court were, there were four dynasties veteran prime ministers in charge, but Li Changshou preferred cronyism.

Gu Fan is at least expected to succeed the old prime minister in charge of the Yushutai in the future, and he even considers that when the time is right, he will bestow the country's surname as a county king and hand over all the power of the court to him.

Therefore, training more people to be Gu Fan's partners is definitely a top priority.

"How is the situation now?"

Li Changshou has been working hard to recover his skills for the past few days, so he doesn't pay much attention to outside affairs.

Except for some soreness in the waist, the recovery speed of this injury is very gratifying, and now he has recovered to the level of a great master.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have inquired clearly in the past few days that the Jiedu envoy of Hedong has personally led 5000 troops. He joined the old general Wei yesterday and is currently stationed at the border town."

Guan Peng knew what Li Changshou wanted to know, so he didn't talk nonsense, "In addition, Shuofang Jiedu envoys led 1000 troops and arrived the day before yesterday. He is not willing to hand over his soldiers and horses, and now he is in a stalemate with General Wei."

At the beginning, Li Changshou ordered the Jiedu Envoy of Hedong and the Jiedu Envoy of Shuofang to send troops to help respectively, in the final analysis, he wanted to see if they were smart enough.

The two Jiedu envoys are both related to Momen, and they also have personal relationships with Guo Peng, a rebellious official and traitor.

In addition, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at hand. Once the troops really rebel and form a three-sided attack, Li Changshou will have some troubles to solve it. It is best not to use blood.

"The news should reach Yanzhou, right?"

Li Changshou smiled, and Guan Peng also smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise, the news has already arrived last night, and I have ordered people to spread the news as soon as possible. Presumably the two Jiedu envoys have already heard the news. I can appreciate His Majesty's good intentions for them."

Shit works hard, Li Changshou knows his own situation, he is just lazy!

Huo Wei is very capable of leading troops in battle, and there are tens of thousands of Jiangdong elites.

But he knows better that marching and fighting is not only fighting for the number of soldiers and horses, but also fighting for logistical supplies.

Besides, people have selfishness, if he wants to embrace the beautiful women in his arms and embrace the world, he must give the people below the right to eat, drink and enjoy themselves, right?
"Huo Wei should be heading towards Yanzhou, right?"

"Your Majesty is really clever. General Huo did not return to the capital after he captured the traitor Guo Peng in Jinyang City. Instead, he led [-] soldiers and horses and rushed towards Yanzhou. Come."

Guan Peng is constantly flattering, and the biggest responsibility of the Imperial City Division now is to collect intelligence, go deep into the masses, and bring the entire Central Plains under surveillance.

Even among Huo Wei's tens of thousands of soldiers, there are actually spies from the Imperial City Division, but most people don't know about it.

"Okay, there's no need to fill me with rice soup. It's natural for Huo Wei to worry about his mother's safety, and I didn't order him to return to the court immediately after the end of the rebellion, so it's not a disobedience."

Li Changshou waved his hand lightly.

It's just that Guan Peng didn't believe it at all.

Since ancient times, being with a king is like being with a tiger. No matter how kind Li Changshou was before, he would not be able to let his subordinates mess around when he became emperor.

What's more, Huo Wei led [-] troops, and he was still so capable of fighting. It was impossible for any emperor to trust such a courtier [-]%.

Now that he is so indulgent to Huo Wei, Guan Peng can only think of one reason.

That is Huo Wei's mother, the daughter of the Wei family in Yanzhou, and now the empress Xiuyuan of the Dagan Dynasty, Wei Zhaojun.

This is a typical Aiwu and Wuma.

"Yes, I think so too."

Guan Peng chuckled.

In fact, Li Changshou didn't care whether Huo Wei obeyed or not. This kid was a filial son, just like him. As long as Wei Zhaojun was on his side, Huo Wei could only accept his fate as a social animal and work for him.

and!

Huo Wei came to Yanzhou with five thousand soldiers, which was considered a move.

In case the two old foxes, Hedong Jiedushi and Shuofang Jiedushi, really want to resist the order, let Huo Wei lead the army to kill them both, so as to avoid trouble.

"Is there any movement in the Wei family?"

Li Changshou was not worried about Hedong Jiedushi and Shuofang Jiedushi. These two people were not Guo Peng, and they had great ambitions in their hands. Unfortunately, their ability was a bit weaker, and they also missed the best time.

It's not Li Changshou who is worried about him now, but these two old foxes. They don't have much time and choices left.

"Your Majesty, I have been secretly investigating for a long time. The Wei family is indeed loyal to the emperor and patriotic and has never had any dissatisfaction. They have been conscientious all these years. Even if they are suppressed everywhere, they have not wavered, but..."

Guan Peng was a little embarrassed and hesitant halfway through.

Li Changshou frowned, "Why are you still hesitating in front of me?"

"Your Majesty forgives the crime, but I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Say!"

"I secretly heard that there are some people in the Wei family who are against Empress Xiuyuan's entry into the palace."

It turned out that this was the case. Li Changshou thought that the Wei family had other thoughts recently. He had already heard about some different voices in the Wei family from Gu Xiaoya. Simply put, the Wei family was loyal but did not want Wei Zhaojun to enter the palace as a concubine. .

Sound incredible?

These days, there are still aristocratic families who don't want to marry the royal family?
However, in fact, the Yanzhou Wei family is a special case, and their style of handling things is relatively straightforward. Let them guard the home and defend the country in the border?
The Wei family can agree!
However, there were quite a few people in the Wei family who opposed the idea of ​​allowing the daughter of the Wei family to enter the palace as a concubine.

This is also one of the reasons why Wei Zhaojun did not return to the capital with Gu Xiaoya, not only because of the tight frontier war, but also because he cared about the people and the family.

Another part of the reason is that someone from the Wei family imprisoned Wei Zhaojun in Youzhou City in a disguised form.

"It seems that the Wei family doesn't like me very much."

Li Changshou laughed when he heard this, without showing any anger at all.

It is true that the Wei family had an opinion on him. He had known it for a long time. After all, the Wei family was implicated because of the Huo family.

It is clear that there is suppression by the imperial court, but secretly it has to face the harassment and threats of Guo Peng's wolfish ambitions.

Now, although he helped rehabilitate the Huo family, and at the same time supported Huo Wei's success, there was no benefit to the Wei family. If he forced himself to say something that would help the Wei family?
That can only be Wei Zhaojun's entry into the palace, but this happens to be the thing that the Wei family objects to the most.

The reason is also very simple.

"Your Majesty, the Wei family still believes in His Majesty according to the news I inquired secretly, but..."

"Go on."

"It's just that the Wei family forced Empress Xiuyuan to marry Old General Huo for the sake of the family. In the end, Empress Xiuyuan couldn't go home and suffer outside for more than 20 years. Therefore, some people in the Wei family are worried that Empress Xiuyuan will not die well in the future if she enters the palace as a concubine. .”

Since ancient times, how many people in the imperial palace can die well?

How long can those concubines be pampered?
The Wei family obviously understood it, so they strongly opposed it.

"Who in the Wei family is behind my back?"

Li Changshou asked meaningfully. In fact, Gu Xiaoya mentioned a few words to him beside his pillow, and part of the reason for coming to Youzhou City this time is also for this reason.

Guan Peng quickly lowered his head and replied, "According to my inquiry, it is the daughter-in-law of General Wei, Zhou family!"
