It has been more than a year since the golden robbery, but there has been no clue.
The robbers had no clues except for knowing that there was a Mei Madam. It can be seen that the Golden Raid was definitely not an ordinary robbery. There must be a commander behind it, and the energy was quite high, which made people unable to start.
Originally, Wu Zetian planned to let Di Renjie investigate the case.
But because Di Renjie was unwell, he did not take action for a long time, so the robbery has been delayed until now.
Shangguan Wan'er's words changed Yang Chenglie's face.
He suddenly wanted to keep Yang Shouwen in Luoyang because the matter was too deep, and he was also worried that Yang Shouwen would fall into it.
"Brother, what do you think?"
Yang Chenglie turned his head and looked at Ming Yan.
Ming Yan smiled and said, "If Wenxuan can stop Yizi, then I will have the same idea as you.
But if you can't stop him, you might as well let him go and muddle the stagnant pool of Jiannan Road, or you may have unexpected gains."
Ming Yan's words made Yang Chenglie silent.
First of all, he really couldn't control Yang Shouwen. Since he was in Changping, Yang Shouwen has shown a strong sense of autonomy.
Secondly, after Ming Yan returned from Shuzhou, he also talked to him about some situations about Bashu.
The country of Bashu Tianfu looks very calm on the surface, but in fact, it is not very stable. The Bashu clan has strong power, and there are many races coexisting, which leads to many conflicts between them. Tubo has advanced eastward several times and invaded Bashu, which has also become a confidant of Jiannandao. After Wu Zetian ascended the throne, Bashu Jiannandao did not show much resistance, but was not very kind to the court. It was as if he was wandering outside the court and formed a relatively independent force.
Can let Yang Shouwen go there solve those many problems?
Yang Chenglie was not very clear in his heart, but he seemed to have no other way even though he knew that he could not stop Yang Shouwen.
"Wan'er, but Yizi is now in prison. Can she leave?"
Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "This is the second thing I'll come to find you tonight!"
Time flies, and it takes three days in a flash.
In the past three days, Yang Shouwen can be said to have lived like a year, but there was no news.
Li Guer said that she would find a way, and then left the Zongzheng Temple prison. After that... there seemed to be no future.
Yang Shouwen was anxious, but he was helpless.
Yang Moli didn't know anything. Apart from practicing martial arts, she just took Wukong and the others around. Although Yang Shiliu was smart, she was too submissive. Yang Shouwen didn't know how to communicate with him, as it was not very comfortable anyway.
Before, he didn't think anything was there with Li Guer by his side.
Now Li Guer has also left, and only he is left in the cell every day, and a blister even appears on his mouth.
That night, Yang Shouwen had supper and sat outside the house, teasing Wukong and the others.
Suddenly, Wukong made a series of barkings. Yang Shouwen immediately stood up. Before he could stop Wukong, he heard a clang outside the yard. As the gate opened, a team of guards broke into the yard. Yang Shouwen was not unfamiliar with the person in the leader, and it was Yang Sixu. He glanced at Yang Shouwen and said, "Qingzhi, please go with the family."
“Where to go?”
"You will know where you go."
After the matter in Changzhou, there was little contact between Yang Shouwen and Yang Sixu.
Thinking about the time when Yang Shouwen escaped from Dongcheng Prison, Yang Sixu secretly gave him some help. After that, Yang Shouwen never contacted him. On the one hand, he became a monk and then went to the Western Regions; on the other hand, he did not want to implicate Yang Sixu. Whether Wu Zetian knew that it was a bad thing, but if he took the initiative to date Yang Sixu, wouldn't it mean that the previous incident was related to Yang Sixu? Then, Yang Sixu would inevitably be in trouble.
Yang Sixu also knew this very well, so the two of them had a tacit understanding and no one took the initiative to contact each other.
And this time...
Yang Sixu had no expression on his face and could not see any situation.
However, the moment he and Yang Shouwen were in contact with each other's eyes, Yang Shouwen accurately captured a trace of information.
Don't worry, it's okay!
"Marlion, Sixteen, stay and look forward to Goku."
Yang Shouwen gave an order, and then bowed to Yang Sixu and said, "Please lead the way."
In this way, Yang Shouwen followed Yang Sixu away from the Zongzheng Temple prison, and then walked from the intersecting road between Tao Guangyuan and Yuanbi City, and headed straight to the intersecting city. The quiet and narrow road was wet and filled with a gloomy atmosphere.
"That's Xuanwu Gate!"
"ah?"
When Yang Shouwen passed by a palace gate, Yang Sixu suddenly spoke.
This also made Yang Shouwen stunned. Isn’t Xuanwu Gate in Chang'an? However, he immediately realized that whether it is Chang'an or Luoyang, as long as it is an imperial city, there is a Xuanwu Gate. However, this Xuanwu Gate is not the same Xuanwu Gate.
"Old Yang, who is looking for me?"
"This... Qingzhi, you will know when you arrive. Don't make me embarrassed."
The two of them walked along the way and entered the city next to each other.
Yang Sixu stopped in front of a small door, pointed and smiled, "Qingzhi, please follow me."
"here it is……"
"East Palace!"
Yang Shouwen suddenly realized that this small gate was the back door of the East Palace.
Did Li Xian look for me?
He felt confused in his heart, so he followed Yang Sixu into the small door. What caught his eye was a peony garden.
It is not yet the season for peonies to bloom, but the peonies in the garden are already particularly vivid.
In the Peony Garden, there is a small pavilion.
Yang Shouwen followed Yang Sixu to the outside of the pavilion and saw two people sitting upright in the pavilion, which were Li Xian and Shangguan Wan'er.
There were no people around.
Yang Sixu stopped when he was thirty steps away from the pavilion and signaled Yang Shouwen to go there himself.
"Qingzhi, come quickly...
Miss Shangguan just warmed up a pot of green plum wine, and it tasted just right."
Li Xian had a very kind attitude and invited Yang Shouwen to come forward.
Shangguan Wan'er sat behind the wine bowl, looked up at Yang Shouwen, and then seemed to be ignoring each other and ignored her.
Yang Shouwen hurriedly walked into the pavilion and bowed, "I pay homage to the prince."
"What kind of monk? Are you still doing this fake monk? Don't show off in front of the lonely person and sit down and talk."
Li Xian has a gentle attitude and speaks very casually.
Yang Shouwen was embarrassed, scratched his head, and sat aside.
Shangguan Wan'er took out a pot of wine from the wine bowl and pushed the pot in front of Yang Shouwen.
Yang Shouwen hurriedly got up, picked up the wine pot, poured two glasses of wine, and placed the wine glass in front of Shangguan Wan'er and Li Xian...
"Crown Prince, I'm right. The green plums in the Peony Garden of the East Palace are the most suitable for brewing wine. What does it taste like?"
“Very good.”
Li Xian laughed loudly, then turned his head, looked at Yang Shouwen and said, "Qingzhi, do you try it too?"
"Crown Prince, you should talk about it first, otherwise I will not be interested in drinking."
Li Xian burst into laughter again and nodded to Shangguan Wan'er.
"Qingzhi, call me aunt, you can be considered a junior.
I regard you as my family, but your child is not worry-free... Do you think, how long have you been in Luoyang? How many things have you been involved in? This time it is even better, and the Wu Family Building was burned! If the prince hadn't pleaded with him, you might have been exiled to Lingnan now."
Yang Shouwen looked as if he was humbly pleading guilty and lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
However, my mind was thinking, which one did Shangguan Wan'er sing today?
"Miss Shangguan, who is not as frivolous as a young man?
It’s all a teenager who doesn’t care about it, so don’t scold him anymore. Come here today, let’s talk about the serious business, the serious business..."
"Okay!"
Shangguan Wan'er picked up the wine pot from Yang Shouwen and gave Li Xian a glass.
"Xiaoluantai is now reducing its manpower, I believe you know it too.
However, on the surface, the Xiaoluantai was revoked, but in fact it has other uses. You have a good relationship with the Ming family Xiaosi, and I think you have heard of the origin of the Xiaoluantai. The predecessor of this Xiaoluantai was composed of inner guards. But now, too many people know the existence of the Xiaoluantai, which makes its existence no longer important. Since last year, Your Majesty has intentionally rectified the Xiaoluantai. But this matter is too wide, so it must be carried out in secret...
For this reason, Your Majesty handed over this matter to the prince and me to preside over the presidency.”
Yang Shouwen was stunned after hearing Shangguan Wan'er's words.
He really didn't know much about this, and it was the first time he heard Shangguan Wan'er say it...
Looking at Shangguan Wan'er, he looked at Li Xian again. The historical books did not say that Wu Zetian was not satisfied with Li Xian, so why did he hand over such an important thing to Li Xian?
This is equivalent to giving Li Xian the responsibility to take charge of Xiaoluantai.
What is Li Xian missing now?
He lacks foundation and strength.
The foundation is easy to deal with and can be built slowly. However, the strength cannot be achieved overnight, and Li Xian needs to operate it slowly. Giving the Xiaoluantai to Li Xian is equivalent to giving Li Xian a pair of ears and ears. At least in terms of intelligence, Li Xian is not inferior.
Thinking of this, Yang Shouwen's eyes rolled around.
He did not speak, but waited for Shangguan Wan'er to continue...
"The establishment of Xiaoluantai has only been ten years ago, but many problems have been exposed.
We have a lot of eyes and eyes, but we lack sufficient self-protection, or in other words, the strength to protect ourselves.
Therefore, once our whereabouts are exposed, we will suffer a fatal blow or even be uprooted.
Similarly, due to our lack of self-protection, many situations cannot be investigated in depth, and ultimately they can only be left alone. Once we mobilize local troops, our whereabouts will be exposed; or if we mobilize troops from outside, the distance will not save the near fire... In short, over the past year, I have been thinking about these things and hope to improve them.
Your Majesty also attaches great importance to this. After agreeing with my idea, he decided to order the prince to preside over the rectification of the imperial guards in the Northern Yaya."
What is the connection between the reorganization of the Northern Ya Imperial Army and the strengthening of the armed forces of Xiaoluantai?
When Yang Shouwen heard this, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide and looked at Shangguan Wan'er in confusion. At the same time, a strange idea flashed through his mind... It probably won't be! If this is the case, it would be too weird.
"You must think that the rectification of the Northern Ya Imperial Guard has something to do with Xiaoluantai."
As if seeing through Yang Shouwen's thoughts, Shangguan Wan'er's mouth curled up, and a smile appeared on her pretty face.
"Prince, let's talk about it."
Li Xian nodded and took over Shangguan Wan'er's words.
He took a sip of green plum wine and said in a deep voice: "Since Your Majesty handed over Xiaoluantai to me, I have been thinking about this matter.
Xiaoluantai must have its own strength, but it is obviously insufficient with internal guards.
Especially when Xiaoluantai needs to take large-scale military operations, it is difficult to ensure success without a strong army. Therefore, reorganizing the Northern Ya Imperial Guard is just a cover, in fact, in order to select all the troops and horses from it, and can cooperate with Xiaoluantai's action. This matter has been reported to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty also believes that it is necessary to do so..."
Speaking of this, Li Xian glanced at Yang Shouwen again.
"This team is the personal army of the emperor, and His Majesty gave it the name "Flying Dragon Soldier".
After the reorganization of the Northern Ya Imperial Army, the Northern Ya Imperial Army will set up the Northern Ya Imperial Army, with thousands of cavalry as the core, and replace the inner court guards of the Southern Ya Imperial Army. At the same time, the Xiaoluantai Association will draw out the most elite soldiers from the Northern Ya Imperial Army to form a hierarchical defense system with Your Majesty as the core, and only obey Your Majesty’s orders."
"Because Your Majesty gave the name 'Flying Dragon Soldier', this army is also called the Flying Dragon Soldier."
Shangguan Wan'er looked at Yang Shouwen and said in a deep voice: "Qingzhi, after I discuss with the prince, I want you to command the army for the Feilong Soldiers. I wonder what you mean?"
At this time, Yang Shouwen's head had become a basin and he was completely confused!
He could hear that this so-called "Flying Dragon Soldier" was actually the personal army of the emperor in later generations, also commonly known as the "Embroidered Uniform Guard".
Oh my god, what's going on?
