Li Mu shook his head and seemed to have thought of something: "Yang Jian's daughter is a good gift."
Li Hun and Yu Wenxin both shuddered.
Of course they knew that the women in the harem would not end well, because their husbands were already puppets and could become prisoners at any time, but perhaps they did not expect that Li Mu had already decided at this time
their fate.
It is indeed a good choice to give it to Li Xinchen as a trophy.
At this time, Yang Lihua also looked at the soldiers outside and said loudly: "What happened? Why did it happen? Where did Liu Qiu and Huangfu Ji go?!"
Behind her, Yuwen's concubines, who had been driven here together, all looked nervous. It was obvious that they didn't know what was going on even more than Yang Lihua did.
Since Yuwen was put under house arrest, they have basically been under house arrest. Let alone seeing His Majesty, it is almost impossible to go out. And all of this is controlled by Yang Lihua and Feng Xiaolian. After all, these
Many of the concubines in the harem were from well-known families. Once they were allowed to pass on specific information about the palace, it would naturally be a blow to Yang Jian's reputation, and Yang Lihua would not allow it.
"Queen, please tell me, what's going on?" A concubine asked uneasily. They had roughly understood the current situation. Although His Majesty walked out of the imperial garden, he was still no different from a puppet. They also paid attention now.
Instead of worrying about His Majesty's fate, it was obvious that they themselves were not much better.
Yang Lihua took a breath. No one answered her call just now, which confirmed her suspicion. After her father was defeated and there was no news, it was obvious that those ambitious guys couldn't sit still.
There is no doubt that His Majesty continues to be a puppet, but the fate of these people has once again become unknown from what was known before.
Feng Xiaolian stood aside with her eyes closed. She seemed to be accustomed to such scenes.
The other concubines headed by Chen Yueyi also set their sights on Yang Lihua at this time. Chen Yueyi was the daughter of General Chen Shanti. Chen Shanti was defeated and killed in the previous Chang'an Rebellion, and Chen Yueyi was also placed under house arrest.
She got up, but Yang Lihua came forward to preside over the harem, and Yang Jian was also anxious to appease people, so he didn't do anything to her.
After Yang Lihua and Feng Xiaolian became the real controllers of the palace, the remaining concubines vaguely formed a small group headed by Chen Yueyi without knowing the future. They did not trust Yang Lihua or Feng Xiaolian, and naturally they did not
We can only place our hopes on this general's daughter who also has some abilities.
Yang Lihua took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I believe all the sisters have seen the current situation. We are all degraded people. We must unite as one and jointly deal with the crisis before us."
At this time, someone said with dissatisfaction: "I don't know who took care of us before!"
"In my opinion, today's situation is all caused by this temptress here. It is really a disaster for the country!"
"Yes, it's this witch who seduces Your Majesty!"
The concubines were immediately mobilized, and their target was Feng Xiaolian.
Of course they all know how Yuwen is obsessed with Feng Xiaolian. Beauty is a disaster. This woman brought both the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou dynasties to a precarious stage. These four words are really true!
So they definitely don't mind venting their anger at this time. Without this witch to charm Yuwen, maybe all this wouldn't have turned into what it is today.
Feng Xiaolian lost his composure and looked at Yang Lihua in panic. At this time, the only one who could protect herself was Yang Lihua.
Yang Lihua coughed lightly. Although Feng Xiaolian was just a tool used by Yang Jian to entangle Yuwen, he had made great contributions to the Yang family after all. Yang Lihua could not remain indifferent to the criticism she was facing now.
However, everyone also knew the importance of Yang Lihua at this time. At least if something really happened, the queen would have to come forward, so everyone stopped talking to give Yang Lihua face.
Yang Lihua then looked at Chen Yueyi, who nodded slightly: "Sisters, now is not the time for us to argue with each other."
"Yes, we need to find out what happened," Yang Lihua said immediately, "At least let us see His Majesty first. I will try hard to request you. Sisters, please rest assured."
The concubines in the harem looked at each other, and now they seemed to have no other choice.
Wei Xiaokuan and Liang Shiyan met the envoy sent by Li Mu in Lantian.
It is Zhao Xuan from the Zhao family.
The appearance of Zhao Xuan also told Wei Xiaokuan and the others that the Zhao family has stood together with the Li family. In this way, the most powerful Eight Pillar Kingdom families in the capital have reached an alliance, at least a tacit understanding, and at the same time, they have reached an alliance.
After telling Wei Xiaokuan and others, just control the army and stop thinking about power disputes in the capital.
The appearance of Li Mu was enough to make the other aristocratic families in the capital surrender. It would not be easy for Wei Xiaokuan and others to intervene again.
"Do we need to send an envoy to contact the Southern Han people now?" Wei Xiaokuan said in a deep voice, "What is the general's plan?"
"The general sent his subordinates here just for this matter. The general thinks that with our current military strength, it is impossible to fight against Li Xingchen." Zhao Xuan's voice was higher than that of Wei Xiaokuan. As he spoke, he
He also glanced at Wei Xiaokuan and Liang Shiyan with some disdain.
It was these two guys who lost half of the remaining soldiers and horses of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in Lantian Camp, causing the Northern Zhou Dynasty to lose the final strength to resist Li Xingchen head-on.
This made young Zhao Xuan very disdainful.
If it were his father who was in charge of this battle, he might not be so cowardly.
Of course, since something has happened, it cannot be undone.
Now Zhao Xuan did not feel sad because of the defeat of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. On the contrary, he was quite looking forward to the coming new era and new dynasty.
After all, he is still young, and the Zhao family is already unpopular in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so why not take this opportunity to grab another partner and achieve the rejuvenation of the family?
It is precisely because of this consideration that the Zhao family is quite active in following Li Mu to stand up and stabilize the situation in Chang'an, hoping to stand out when Chang'an is handed over to the new dynasty, so as to gain a foothold faster in the new dynasty.
.
Therefore, Zhao Xuan was very active in the peace talks with Li Xingchen.
The smile on Wei Xiaokuan's face was a little sad.
He could already feel the impatience from Zhao Xuan's words.
Obviously these young people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty do not intend to fight for the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
