It was too hot to go out, so the three Wu sisters were reading in the house.
"What are you looking at, why are you so excited?"
The eldest sister looked sideways at her younger sister, her face turned red as she read the book, and she gestured with her sword with one hand.
"I was reading Brother Qingyang's poems. I copied some of Brother Qingyang's most murderous verses."
"Kill a person in ten steps, leave no trace for a thousand miles, dust off your clothes when you're done, and hide your body and name deeply."
"Listen to this sentence again, the yellow sand will wear golden armor in a hundred battles, and the Loulan will not be destroyed until it is destroyed. There is also this sentence, the ambition is hungry and eats the meat of the Huns, and laughs and talks about drinking the blood of the Huns.
There is also this sentence that killed millions of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the sword on his waist was especially bloody."
"Murderous aura forms clouds at three o'clock, and cold sounds spread throughout the night."
·····
Wu Erniang was holding a scroll. On it were some of her favorite poems from Wu Huaiyu Qingyang's poetry collection that she had copied in thin gold script. They were all murderous famous lines, which she liked very much.
Aunt Wu shook her head after hearing this, "Oh my God, Er Niang, why do you like these scary poems so much? Brother Qingyang also has many beautiful and romantic poems. When you pass away in your arms, you will be heartbroken. I don't know the spring breeze. What's the matter?
How wonderful it is to enter Luohu.
There is also this sentence, it is difficult to say goodbye when we meet, the east wind is powerless and the flowers are withered."
Wu Sanniang also smiled and said, "Yes, the beatings and killings are so scary. My favorite is the saying that last night's nepotism was eliminated, and today the crickets will fly."
"The song about the human face and peach blossoms complementing each other is also very nice."
Wu Erniang smiled,
"Actually, Erlang's love poems are also well written. My favorite is the Jinse. The Jinse has fifty strings for no reason. Each string and one column reminds me of the good years. Zhuang Sheng dreamed of butterflies at dawn, and looked forward to the emperor's spring heart supported by cuckoos. The vast sea
The moon has tears in its pearls, and the sun in Lantian is warm and jade produces smoke. Can this feeling be remembered? But it was already at a loss at the time..."
When the three sisters of the Wu family talked about the poems of their cousin Wu Huaiyu, they all became excited. Wu Huaiyu's poems, calligraphy, medicine and paintings are among the four best. They have long been popular all over the world and are loved by thousands of girls.
Girls’ feelings are always poetry,
What girl doesn't have a child?
Even if Wu Huaiyu is their clan brother, it doesn't stop them from liking him, but they just feel a little regretful.
The three sisters from the Wu family were good tutors when they were young. Their mother, Yang, was also from the famous Yang family in Hongnong. She was also very knowledgeable and talented. The three sisters studied with her since childhood and were able to write short poems. They understood Huaiyu's poems well and were talented.
Know more about appreciation.
Aunt Wu put down her book and said, "I heard that brother Qingyang is going back to Chang'an, but it's a pity that he won't pass through Luoyang."
"Then let's go back to Chang'an, so we can meet brother Qingyang." Sanniang said.
That elder brother also appeared in Wu Erniang's mind. Compared to her half-brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, Huaiyu was her elder brother in her heart.
She had pampered herself so much since she was a child, bringing gifts every time she met, and always telling her stories. When she grew up and realized how talented this brother was, she fell in love with him even more.
I remembered the letter I wrote to my brother last time, hoping that he could help Aye return to Chang'an. I didn't know if my brother would help.
She withdrew her gaze and fell on the book she had copied. On it was a poem about chrysanthemums,
When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, hundreds of flowers will bloom. The incense will spread to Chang'an, and the whole city will be filled with golden armor.
Although this is a poem about chrysanthemums, Wu Erniang always seems to feel that the sword energy is everywhere and murderous in the sky.
Brother Huaiyu conquered the barbarians in Lingnan and killed millions of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River. The sword on his waist still smelled fishy.
He is about to return to Chang'an. Will Chang'an be filled with incense and golden armor?
at dinner,
The family was having a meal, and the always-busy samurai Yu rarely had time to join them, and he was still smiling all over his face.
"Aye, why are you so happy today?"
Yang said on the side, "You guys, Aye, have received orders from the imperial court and are going back to Chang'an."
"Ah, are you going back to the court to become an official? That's great." Aunt Sanniang said happily.
Wu Erniang asked, "What kind of job does Aye have when he returns to Chang'an?"
The warrior Xun was indeed very happy. He was so happy that he specially asked for a pot of wine and drank two glasses. "Minbu Minister,"
"Do you want to participate in the pre-political position?"
The warrior Xun poured himself a glass of wine and said to his daughter with a smile, "To participate in the political title is to join the political hall and become the prime minister. You are really good at being the prime minister."
"Aye's achievements and qualifications are enough to join the Political Affairs Hall and pay homage to the Prime Minister." Erniang said.
The warrior Xun laughed, picked up the wine and tasted it carefully. This was the Lingxi spring wine that Wu Huaiyu sent him from Lingnan. The taste was very mellow and sweet.
Samurai Yu was actually very satisfied to be able to return to the imperial court and serve as Minister of Civil Affairs. He also knew that he was from the Supreme Emperor Yuancong and was not his current confidant after all.
Now that I have the opportunity to return to Chang'an, it is actually thanks to the great help of my nephew Wu Huaiyu, as well as the help of the Hongnong Yang family, the uncle Changsun Wuji, the prime minister Gao Shilian, etc.
There must have been various exchanges of interests, and finally he had this opportunity.
Of course, it was also because Prime Minister Dai Zhou was seriously ill and there happened to be such a vacant position.
Dai Zhou was given the title of Prime Minister, but now he only serves as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The imperial edict has been issued, and the next step for the warrior Xun is to quickly hand over the errands at Luoyang Dudufu, and then return to Beijing. He is eager to meet Huaiyu as soon as possible. After returning to Chang'an, he still has many things to be busy with, and the situation is now more complicated.
It's not very beneficial to the Wu family.
······
Chang'an.
The warrior Xun brought his wife and children to Beijing from Tongguan. In Baqiao, he happened to meet Wu Huaiyu and his party who were returning to Chang'an from Lingnan via Languan.
Of course, it wasn't just such a coincidence. In fact, the two exchanged messages and specially arranged to meet in the capital.
The uncle and nephew plan to meet and communicate first before entering Chang'an.
Baqiao Inn,
Uncle and nephew meet,
When the three sisters of the Wu family heard that Huaiyu was coming, they all ran over to greet him with their skirts in their hands and laughing. The three girls all said they were too big or too small, and they were still innocent.
Even the precocious and sensible Er Niang, when she saw Huaiyu, she immediately ran and jumped into her brother's arms. The eldest Niang and San Niang took a step slower and hugged each other with one arm.
It really felt like my biological sister, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, saw my biological brother.
But when the three sisters met the two brothers who had the same father, they were very angry and even disgusted.
"I've grown taller again and become even more beautiful," Huaiyu was almost knocked down by the three sisters. He smiled and rubbed his head and scratched his nose.
I have to say that the three sisters of the Wu family are really beautiful and slim. It may be that the genes of the Yang and Wu families are good.
The three girls read a lot and learned many talents, so they all have good temperaments.
"Brother, here's the gift."
The three girls rushed to ask for gifts from Huaiyu and even acted coquettishly.
Huaiyu had already prepared pearl earrings and pearl necklaces, which were very beautiful and precious gifts. The three sisters were very happy.
In the post house,
Wu Huaiyu and the warrior Xun were sitting alone in a pavilion under a corner tree, drinking tea.
"After arriving in Beijing, I will visit each of the ministers and help my fourth uncle enter the political hall."
"It's not urgent."
"We have to be impatient. The current situation is very unfavorable for our Wu family. I have carefully considered it. My fourth uncle will become the prime minister of the court and the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will join the political affairs title. I will resign as the prime minister and stay in Lingnan to run my business with peace of mind. One of our uncles and nephews is included.
While one is away, my fourth uncle will work in the court for another ten or eight years, and then I will return to Beijing."
Warrior Xun's face became solemn, "Can the situation in the East Palace be stabilized?"
"We must be stable," Huaiyu sighed, but quickly cheered up, "This incident happened a bit suddenly, and I was really caught off guard. But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that it is not too bad. If the remedy is timely, maybe
It’s not entirely a bad thing. The prince is still young after all, and it will be difficult for him to grow up without experiencing some things. If he can mature after this incident, it will be a good thing."
"Having said that, I am afraid that the prince is young and cannot withstand such a blow."
"That's why we are going to Beijing to return to the court. We are the prince's support. At this time, we must support the prince even more."
The second daughter of the warrior Xun has been promised to the prince as the future prince Liangdi, and he and the prince are even more closely tied.
"Actually, you are more suitable to stay in Chang'an than me," the warrior Xun said bluntly.
Huaiyu shook his head, "In this situation, my fourth uncle is more suitable to join the court than me."
Wu Huaiyu has not yet entered the capital, but the game with all parties has already begun. In the final analysis, it is an exchange of interests. He is willing to resign from the prime minister and stay in Lingnan forever in exchange for the warrior Xun to enter the capital and pay homage to the prime minister.
Of course, there are also other exchanges with all parties.
Wu Huaiyu asked the warrior Xun to enter the court as prime minister, which was actually a last resort, because now that something happened in the East Palace, all parties were ready to take action, and undercurrents were surging. As the master of the East Palace, Wu Huaiyu had a big goal, and many people wanted to take advantage of him.
Even big shots like Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Wen Yanbo felt that Wu Huaiyu was no longer as powerful as before and had begun to threaten their status.
Even though we are usually allies, the Political Affairs Hall is so big and has so much power. If Wu Huaiyu really returns to the court as prime minister, given his current achievements, it will indeed be very threatening.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, these big guys didn't mind pushing Wu Huaiyu to stay in Lingnan.
Of course, if Wu Huaiyu voluntarily resigned and stayed in Lingnan, then Fang Xuanling's eldest son, Sun Wuji, and others would naturally have to give some compensation. Huaiyu's request was to allow the warrior Xun to join the court as prime minister.
This request is not particularly excessive, just like before everyone suppressed Changsun Wuji, but in the end Changsun Wuji was willing to continue to sit on the bench, and everyone agreed that Gao Shilian would return to pay homage to the prime minister.
It is the emperor's right to worship the prime minister, but the opinions of the prime ministers are of course also important, and the emperor's decisions also need the support and execution of the prime ministers.
Although the warrior Xun is older and more capable, he has a huge shortcoming: the Supreme Emperor Yuancong. After all, he is not Li Shimin's direct confidant.
The threat is much smaller.
More importantly, even if the warrior Xun gave his daughter to the prince in marriage, he was not as good as Wu Huaiyu and was the prince's most trusted teacher.
"The most important thing now is to stabilize the East Palace reserve position,"
The warrior Yu nodded. If the ship in the East Palace capsizes now, the Wu family will be the first to be unlucky. They are too deeply bound to the East Palace.
