Chapter 386: I built the top of a deadly tall building. Li Yao stood on the railing and looked down at two boys playing with each other between the rockery in the garden.

These two children are Li Chengxun, the fourth son of the old prince Jiancheng, and the other one who looks a little younger is Li Chengyi, the youngest son of Li Jiancheng.

The former's biological mother was the crown prince Yang Sheniang. Although Yang Sheniang was not from a high school, her grandmother was a daughter of the Cui family in Boling, and she had some connection with Cui Xiao; while the latter's biological mother Cui Liangdi was Cui Xiao's niece. If we talk about the blood relationship between her and Cui Xiao, she was much closer than Cui Yuanxun, who belonged to the far-dang hall. Cui Liangdi's parents died early and grew up in her uncle Cui Xiao's house since she was young. Later, when the family selected Cui Liangdi to the palace, Cui Xiao also had strong protests about this. It can be seen that the relationship between uncle and nephew is so deep that Li Yao listed Cui Xiao as the best candidate for adopting these two sons in the secret plan she formulated.

Seeing their innocent appearance, Li Yao's heart was actually complicated and unspeakable, and Lan Shaoying, who was beside him, gradually had tears in her eyes. She called her "Natural Lord" with a choked voice.

Li Yao's eyes seemed to have a hint of softness, but then he calmed down his emotions. She could guess roughly what Lan Shaoying wanted to say without thinking too much. He turned his head and said, "Alan, I can't do much."

Lan Shaoying pursed her lips and asked, "So when will the lord plan to let them return to the palace?"

Li Yao replied calmly, "When they will not follow in the footsteps of Queen Anlu again."

Lan Shaoying couldn't help feeling sad when she heard this. If it weren't for the princess' advance arrangements, these two lively and cute children would probably have turned into two pieces of loess and accompanied their father and second brother.

The assassination of Xianren Palace at the end of last year also fully proved that the King of Wugong and his gangs still controlled a terrible force that could endanger the lives of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's descendants.

People have limited energy and are always ready to take a break. Instead of being passive, it is better to take the initiative to consume the opponent's energy to the greatest extent.

After all, in a specific historical period and environment, if you cannot change the operating mode of Game of Thrones, you can only work hard to adapt to the rules of Game of Thrones.

According to the patriarchal system of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's sons were both the emperor's grandsons. Compared with Li Yuanjia, Li Yuanyu and other concubines, and Li Shimin, who was demoted to the prince, they had more priority to inherit the throne.

As long as these nine emperors and grandsons survive in the world, Li Shimin will be unable to sleep or eat and will be restrained by Li Yao.

Therefore, before completely cutting off Li Shimin's minions, the princess would never agree to let them appear in front of the public again.

Thinking of this, Lan Shaoying had no choice but to nod and respond, "Shaoying understands."

Li Yao sighed softly, "It's fine if you understand."

As he was talking, a sound of footsteps came from the corridor. After a moment, Cui Xiao walked up with a smile, and there was still someone following him. This man was about twenty-seven or eight years old, tall, with his eyebrows slanted into his temples, his eyes were like stars, and his mouth was wide. He looked quite heroic.

However, when Li Yao looked carefully, he found that his face was as smooth as a woman, and there was no beard on his face. Only then did he recognize that the other party was a eunuch.

Cui Xiao led the young eunuch to Li Yao, bowed slightly, and introduced him to the top, "This is Princess Mingzhao, the protector."

The eunuch immediately bowed his head, "The prince of the Neifang Dianzhi, Yang Shoudong, today I am very happy to see the noble master and noble face."

Li Yao raised his hand and said, "Let's flat."

When Yang Shoudong got up, Lan Shaoying asked, "Why have I never seen you?"

Yang Shoudong looked at Lan Shaoying, his pupils shrank, and he smiled and said, "I recognize my wife, I dare to ask if her surname is Lan."

Lan Shaoyingqi said, "How did you know?"

Yang Shoudong replied with a smile, "Fourteen years ago, I met you. At that time, Lingzun and his father died because of rebellion against the Sui Dynasty. We were the family members of the criminal minister who were sent to the court by Emperor Yang. Although it has been a long time since then, the changes in the eyebrows, eyes and facial features of the wife did not change much."

Lan Shaoying looked at him seriously, suddenly widened her eyes, and suddenly said, "You are Xiao Sanlang, I didn't expect you to be alive."

Yang Shoudong bowed respectfully to Lan Shaoying, "I was castrated by the time, and if I don't have a wife, I'm afraid I can't hold on."

In ancient times, men were usually purged, and the survival rate was usually only 40%. Lan Shaoying recalled the old story and couldn't help but sigh, "I am both poor people, I just want you to have a full meal before you die."

Li Yao suddenly asked Yang Shoudong, "Your surname is Xiao, can you be Yang Xuangan's nephew?"

The owl is an unfilial bird.

In the ninth year of Daye, Yang Xuangan rebelled against Sui and was defeated and died. Emperor Yang of Sui issued an edict to change the surname of Yang Xuangan and his brothers to the surname "Xiao", which means an ungrateful person.

Yang Shoudong replied with a crossed hand and said, "Report to the Lord, my father is the stepson of Huibo, the Inner Historian of the former dynasty, Yang Xuanting, and the former dynasty, the brothers of the same mother and her father."

Li Yao also said, "The Neifang Dian is in charge of guiding rituals in the East Palace, and spreading responsibilities and other matters. He should have often dealt with guests who visited the East Palace, but I went in and out of the East Palace countless times, but I only met you now. I guess you should have a certain identity in my elder brother's place."

Yang Shoudong said frankly, "After the founding of this dynasty, I was selected as the Inner Palace. I was fortunate to be treated preferentially by Your Highness, so I was able to restore the surname Yang. Now, I don't need to hide the noble master. Although I am Dianzhi, my real responsibility is to take charge of your highness and recruit brave men to serve as the guards of the Changlin."

Li Yao nodded, then looked at Cui Yuanxun and Su Dingfang who were standing nearby, and smiled and said, "You guys are doing well, I'm very satisfied."

Cui Yuanxun and Su Dingfang hurriedly clasped their fists and said in unison, "I am deeply trusted by the noble master, and I should do my best to live up to my entrusted responsibility."

Li Yao was not Zhuge Kongming, and he had to ask about everything in detail and did everything himself. She didn't want to work hard and work hard, and devote herself to doing everything in order to turn all the talents under her.

Her way of employing people is to use people's strengths, avoid people's weaknesses, pay attention to people's talents, and doubt people, and do not doubt people's use, and let go when they should, and delegate power when they should, so that everyone who sincerely loyal to her has a platform and opportunity to display their abilities.

For example, when Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's sons were placed in this way, Li Yao only formulated a plan in advance and had never participated in actual actions. Even if she was the one herself, she might not be able to find someone as safe as the former crown prince Yang Shoudong to do things for herself.
