0140 Return to Luoyang

"The son-in-law is helpless. My father-in-law should also know that there is a prophecy in Luoyang!" Li Yuan sighed.

"When the late emperor, a alchemist once said that the one who took the world was Li. The late emperor dreamed of flooding the capital. At that time, he suspected that Li Hun was the fulfillment of his dream. Later, because the Great Sui Dynasty had just founded the country, this prophecy was a bit absurd, so the late emperor did not pursue it. Now Li Hun has been promoted to the general of the Right Guard, and his nephew Li Min married the daughter of the eldest princess as his wife. The family is very powerful, and there is also the background of the Li family in Longxi. I think the emperor should be more worried about him, not you."

Li Yuan smiled bitterly, of course he hoped that, but

Dou Qing glanced at him, "Do you think I'm wrong?"

"The son-in-law has no intention of this. I just think the timing of this prophecy is too strange, and the son-in-law suspects it." Li Yuan did not continue.

Dou Qing understood what he meant, "Do you suspect this is a prophecy sent by Yuan Min?"

Li Yuan nodded, "The Yuan family temporarily stopped splitting the Wuchuan Mansion because of the Dugu family's face. However, they did not achieve their goal, so they would not give up. Because the son-in-law killed Yuan Hongsi, the Yuan family would never let the son-in-law go easily, so the prophecy appeared, and the son-in-law felt that it was related to the Yuan family."

Dou Qing also knew in his heart that this prophecy was most likely to be distributed by the Yuan family, and it was aimed at Li Yuan. He only touched Li Hun to comfort Li Yuan. This matter is indeed a big trouble. If this matter is not solved, Li Yuan will probably be exterminated. Seeing that the Sui Yang world is in danger, Yang Guang would never be ruthless at this critical moment.

But Dou Qing had no choice in this matter for a moment. He pondered for a moment and said, "Let's do it! You go home first and let me consider it."

"Son-in-law gave up!" Li Yuan bowed and slowly retreated.

Dou Qing stood up, paced back and forth in the pavilion with a crutch, thinking about the countermeasures of this matter. First, find out the source and block the prophecy and continue to spread. Second, it is necessary to resolve the prophecy crisis and let it go. But these two things are difficult, especially the second thing, which is difficult to deal with!

"Entertainment Father, it's very windy here. You can go back to your room first!"

Zhang Chuchen appeared beside Dou Qing. Dou Qing glanced at her and smiled and said, "It just so happened that I have something to leave to you."

"Please give me instructions!"

Dou Qing said slowly: "A recent prophecy called Taolizhang spread widely in Luoyang. I want you to take Huofeng to find the source and kill the spreader for me."

After a moment of pause, Dou Qing added: "Except for the Yuan clan, no one will be forgiven!"

"Daughter understands!"

"Go! I'll go back to my room later."

Zhang Chuchen bowed and hurried away. Dou Qing looked at the sky with his hands behind his back and said lightly: "Yuan Min, you have done too much this time."

Li Yuan left Wuchuan Mansion with great worries. As soon as he walked outside the gate, he saw his son-in-law Chai Shao and his son Li Shimin at the gate. Chai Shao worked as a doctoral student in Wuchuan Mansion, while his son Li Shimin was studying in Wuchuan Mansion.

When the two of them saw Li Yuan coming out, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Li Yuan smiled and said, "I'm going home now, you can go back with me too!"

Li Yuan got on the carriage, and Chai Shao and Li Shimin rode a horse and followed far behind the carriage. Seeing that the carriage was too gorgeous, Li Shimin frowned. His father was sitting in such a carriage in Luoyang. It was a bit too ostentatious.

"Brother-in-law, please persuade me!" Li Shimin couldn't help but whisper to Chai Shao.

Chai Shao smiled bitterly in his heart. How could he persuade his father-in-law? His father-in-law had his own deep meaning when he sat in such a luxurious carriage. How could he interfere casually? He smiled, "I understand, I will say it if I have the chance."

At this time, a guard stepped forward and smiled at Chai Shao, "Son-in-law, second son, Mr. Li, please come over."

Chai Shao and Li Shimin looked at each other and hurriedly urged the horse to come to the carriage. Chai Shao bowed and said, "Is there anything wrong with my father-in-law looking for a son-in-law?"

Li Yuan has been thinking about one thing. In fact, the prophecy is just a threat. The thing he is really afraid of is his eldest son Li Jiancheng. Once the Yuan family learns that Jiancheng is in Wagang, how can they let him go? The risk is too great.

Li Yuan pondered for a moment and said to Chai Shao through the window: "I want you to go to Wagang again, so that Jiancheng can temporarily leave Wagang and return to Luoyang, or go somewhere else to avoid it."

"The son-in-law understands it. I wonder when my father-in-law wants me to set off?"

"If possible, set out now!"

Chai Shao nodded. He had to go back and arrange it before leaving. "Don't worry, father-in-law, son-in-law will set off now!"

Li Yuan said to his second son Li Shimin again: "My son can go back to Taiyuan quickly and find Liu Wenjing. Tell him that he gave me a good advice under the locust tree last time, so he can execute it immediately!"

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Can my father tell my child what advice is? I'm afraid that if Uncle Liu's understanding is wrong."

Li Yuan felt that his son was right and it was of great importance and he must not be vague. He whispered a few words to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin immediately nodded and said, "You guy understands, let's go to Taiyuan now."

Chai Shao and Li Shimin left the carriage one after another. Li Yuan looked at them and walked away, feeling infinitely in his heart. Although he hoped that his father-in-law Dou Qing could help him, when things came to an end, he could only rely on himself.

After five days of rapid march, Zhang Xuan finally arrived in Luoyang that afternoon. This was his second time after half a year.

Half a year ago, he set out to the grassland with the Imperial Merchants as the guard of the King of Yan, but when he came back, he had more than a thousand subordinates, and things changed, which made him feel indescribable.

"General, where will we live this time?" Shen Guang asked with a smile.

"I don't know, but there should be arrangements!"

Zhang Xuan put on the curtain and looked into the distance. They could already see Luoyang City from afar. Both sides of the official road became lively. The ruins left by Yang Xuangan's rebellion last year were also replaced by newly built houses.

At this moment, a team of military horses ran towards the front, and the pedestrians were so scared that they dodged to both sides of the official road. Zhang Xuan had already seen the flag raised by the military horses. The pennant flag with apricot yellow and black edges embroidered with two black words Yuwen. This must have been Yuwen Shu. It was really a narrow road for enemies.

But Zhang Xuan had no intention of avoiding it. He wanted to take a look. When Yuwen Shu saw what he would look like, he proudly held the war horse.

After a moment, nearly a hundred cavalry surrounded Yuwen Shu and rushed towards him. Yuwen Shu was going to the military camp east of the city. He had just left the city. However, he happened to meet Zhang Xuan's army coming from Hebei.

Yuwen Shu saw Zhang Xuan riding a horse by the road at first sight. He was stunned for a moment. He didn't close his mouth for a long time. Why did this person appear in Luoyang alive?

Yuwen Shu suddenly felt annoyed, was Zhang Jin said that he was so incompetent?

Zhang Xuan urged the horse to step forward slowly and bowed on the horse with his fists. "I am not good at the position of Zhang Xuan to meet the general! This time I disappointed General Yuwen."

Zhang Xuan spoke very slowly, and there was an implicit meaning that only between them could understand. Yuwen Shu snorted heavily, with a hint of sneer on her face, "I will not be disappointed. I am afraid that General Zhang will be disappointed, and will be disappointed soon."

He raised his head and laughed, urging the horse to run away. Zhang Xuan said calmly: "Zhang Jin said he wanted to come to Luoyang in person to visit the general!"

His voice was very far away. Yu Wen Shu, who had already run out dozens of steps, was shocked all over. He turned around and stared at Zhang Xuan fiercely, urging his horse to run away.

At this time, Yuwen Chengdu, who was following at the end, stopped the war horse. He glanced at Zhang Xuan with complicated eyes and asked in a cold tone: "The camping has not been decided yet?"

"We just arrived in Luoyang."

"Do you know about Xineiying?"

Zhang Xuan nodded, "I know!"

"Go to Xinei Camp directly! The troops who came back from Goguryeo are stationed there."

After saying that, Yuwen Chengdu waved his whip and chased Yuwen Shu who had already walked away. Zhang Xuan looked at his back and walked away. He could feel the unique cold care of Yuwen Chengdu.

"Go to Xinei Camp!"

Zhang Xuan shouted loudly and led his soldiers to run from another road to Xineiying outside Xicheng.

The Sui army's camp outside Luoyang was divided into three layers of defense, the innermost layer was called the inner camp. It was mainly distributed in the inner garden of the palace and the various yards in the city, and was stationed at the left and right guards of the emperor and the capital. That is, the Imperial Guards.

The second floor is called the outer camp, which is distributed outside the city. The third floor is called the border camp, which is distributed in the counties and counties around Luoyang. The third floor defense protects the capital of the Great Sui Dynasty like an iron barrel.

Although Zhang Xuan's army was not the last to return to Luoyang, most of the Goguryeo-sponsored troops had arrived in Luoyang and were preparing to receive praise from His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

In the military camp, Zhang Xuan unexpectedly met his military officer Liu Ling, who was from Luoyang. He rushed back to attend the funeral because his mother died, so he did not go to Goguryeo to fight. However, he and Cui Li had already planned another plan, so he was still a military officer in Zhang Xuan's military mansion.

Liu Ling had already completed various entry procedures for Zhang Xuan's army in advance, saving a lot of trouble.

Seeing that he was still wearing filial piety on his left arm, Zhang Xuan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "The person has gone, Liu Shenjun just wants to be more open!"

Liu Ling sighed, "Thank you for your concern to the general. I originally planned to be mourning for my mother for a year, but my father and several brothers did not agree. They hoped that I would not resign from the military position, so I would come back early."

"Of course, without Liu Zongjun, many things were messed up."

Zhang Xuan is telling the truth. He has not done many things. His army is still in a wartime state. To restore from a wartime state to a normal state, a lot of extremely cumbersome procedures are still required.

Zhang Xuan felt a headache when he thought of these procedures. When Liu Lingruo came back, he could throw these things to him. At this time, he hoped that Liu Ling would return more than anyone else.

Liu Ling bowed and suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly said, "A big incident happened the day before yesterday, which made everyone panic. General Zhang may not know yet."

"What's up?"

"General Yuwen impeached General Lai to disobey the imperial edict in Goguryeo, and was suspected of having troops to resign independently, which made the emperor extremely angry. General Lai was already imprisoned and waiting for trial."

"What!"

Zhang Xuan was shocked. He suddenly understood what Yuwen Shu said, which meant that he came to Hu'er to jail.

Zhang Xuan said anxiously: "But General came to the Great Army to defeat the main force of Goguryeo and force Goguryeo to surrender. Is the emperor turning a blind eye to such a great contribution?"

Liu Ling sighed, "Don't the general understand? The so-called failure to obey the order is just an excuse. The real reason is that the general has made too much contribution and has a little bit of great achievements that shock the master."

Zhang Xuan couldn't say a word at all. Could it be that this is just like accompanying the king as a tiger?

"What should we do?"

This is also something Zhang Xuan is extremely concerned about. He came to Hu'er to be imprisoned. So will the emperor admit the merits of these generals?

"I don't think I don't refuse to admit this, but it may be delayed. Before the conclusion of the case of Hu'er's case, everyone has to wait patiently."

Zhang Xuan sneered, "Is this the emperor's meaning or the imperial court's meaning?"

"It should be the intention of the court, or to be precise, it was the proposal of Yu Shiji, the Minister of War. It said that to prevent missed merits and exploitation, the Ministry of War must check them clearly before it can be rewarded for merits!"

"Then who is under the jurisdiction of us now? Is it clear that it is the Xiaoguo Army or something else?" Zhang Xuan asked again.

Liu Ling shook his head, "Now we belong to the Three Non-Secret Service, neither the Xiaoguo Mansion Army nor the local Yingyang Mansion, nor the imperial guards' home office, or the former army organization during the war. I heard that Yu Shiji suggested that the Ministry of War should assess each general to determine where each general will go."
