"It is the responsibility of the Jinwu Guards to patrol and guard each village."
Chai Shao said slowly: "This is not under the jurisdiction of the Bei Ya forbidden army. The Chang'an County government only handles the handover with the Nan Ya forbidden army."
"What Mr. Huo Guo said is true." Li Dewu said respectfully: "It's just that Princess Pingyang was in charge of Chang'an before, and the entrance and exit of the palace city, the imperial city, and Chang'an were all controlled by the Beiya Imperial Army, so I came here to inquire."
This is true. After the incident at Renzhi Palace, Li Yuan still stayed in Phoenix Valley. All the defense of Chang'an was handed over to Princess Pingyang. Not to mention the Beiya Forbidden Army, she was the only one of the Twelve Guards who was on duty in Chang'an. Jinwuwei was also controlled by him.
Chai Shao couldn't help being a little surprised and raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that Li Dewu had some thoughts and found this reason abruptly.
After looking at Chai Shao, Li Dewu continued: "I have a shameless request..."
Chai Shao was even more surprised. This shameless person actually begged in front of me...that is, in front of me. If it was in front of his wife, he would probably be beaten out.
After waving the guard to leave, Chai Shao stopped pretending and said coldly: "Speak."
"It's difficult for me to serve as an official in Chang'an. Please let me go."
"This is the responsibility of the officials."
"Gong Xuanling is the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Duke Ling is the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel."
"Then you go look for them." Chai Shao smiled half-heartedly, "Are you afraid that Dong Palace will notice?"
The meaning of this sentence is to remind you that you, Li Dewu, also have a part-time job as a prince.
"Don't dare to ask for help rashly." Li Dewu's face was calm, "If you want to resign and return home, I wonder if Huo Guogong will allow it?"
Of course Chai Shao knew that Li Dewu was not actually asking him, but Li Shan.
After hesitating for a moment, Chai Shao said softly: "It's your choice."
Li Dewu breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he was not asking for a release, nor did he want to resign and return home. He was not even asking about Li Shan's possible attitude, but was testing the attitude of Chai Shao and Princess Pingyang.
If it was a guess before, although there was a 70-80% certainty, it was not conclusive after all, but this time it was different. The personal guards sent by Princess Pingyang helped Pei Shiju guard the door, and they clearly put the knife on Pei Shiju's neck. Li Dewu Of course, Princess Pingyang and his wife must know Li Shan's life experience.
After the incident at Renzhi Palace, His Majesty Yi Chu's thoughts became clear, and the situation of seizing the throne became clear. The failure of the prince also meant the failure of Pei Shiju... Li Dewu had to start thinking about how he could escape this disaster.
There are two choices, one is Cui Xin, after all, he is the in-laws!
Although he said that he shamelessly abandoned his wife and son, Cui Xin's in-laws could not not take in and protect him... Even if Li Shan was displeased, Cui Xin would not remain indifferent.
It can be said that this is a very safe path.
But it is a pity that after returning to Beijing from Renzhi Palace, there is no one in the Cui Mansion. It is said that Cui Xin and his wife have temporarily moved to Sun Moon Lake, and Li Dewu has nothing to do.
And the other one is Princess Pingyang and his wife.
The prince is about to be defeated. If he cannot find someone to protect him, he will most likely die.
Li Dewu is very sure of this. His wife Pei Shuying may seem weak, but she can carve out her will. After waiting for so many years, her temperament is not inferior to Zhu's. If she says she will kill him, she will definitely do it with all her strength.
Therefore, after His Majesty returned to Beijing, Li Dewu quickly found a reason to visit Huo Guogong Chai Shao and test the attitude of Princess Pingyang and his wife.
After walking out of the imperial city, Li Dewu thought to himself that he might be able to escape into Princess Pingyang's mansion, but he must arrange it not far from Princess Pingyang's mansion.
That night, in the backyard of Princess Pingyang.
"boom!"
The exquisite tea cup was thrown to the ground and shattered into pieces. Princess Pingyang shouted sharply: "You guessed wrong!"
"That guy Li Dewu is trying to protect me!"
Chai Shao suddenly realized after being stunned, but then he looked at his wife carefully... His wife had never paid much attention to these things and was not good at it, but he didn't expect to be able to detect Li Dewu's intentions so quickly. Instead, he was slow.
"Huairen once mentioned that Pei Shuying said that if the East Palace is defeated in the future, Li Huairen will naturally not and will not dare to kill his father." Princess Pingyang's face was gloomy, "It is not tolerated in the world for a son to kill his father, but a wife kills her husband..."
Chai Shao snorted. No wonder his wife reacted immediately. Pei Shuying was very strong, not an ordinary woman.
After hesitating for a long time, Princess Pingyang looked at her husband, "How to deal with it?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin knew about Huairen's life experience, but he also mentioned in private that tiger poison does not eat its seeds." Chai Shao said slowly: "How to deal with it is a troublesome matter, and not only Huairen, but also Madam Zhu... …”
Indeed, it was not only Li Shan who was hurt that year, but also his wife Zhu who was ruthlessly abandoned by Li Dewu.
So, at noon the next day, Princess Pingyang arrived at Sun Moon Lake.
"boom!"
This time it was an exquisite vase that was shattered to pieces. Zhu frowned and scolded: "So shameless!"
He abandoned his wife and son back then, but now he is in deep crisis, and he actually wants to cling to himself and his son for a chance of survival. This makes Zhu's anger difficult to contain.
Cui Shiniang, who had already walked a long way, pulled her mother Zhang beside her, who was looking back curiously, and whispered: "Don't pry."
Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a while and asked in a low voice: "Do you know?"
"Yeah." Cui Shiniang also felt that the actual grandpa was too shameless.
Li Shan in the room didn't feel too indignant. He pulled Princess Pingyang to sit down and said, "Third sister, it's hard for me to make a decision on this matter. Let my mother make the decision."
No matter what Li Shan did to Li Dewu, it was difficult to get the best of both worlds. If he let it go, how could he be worthy of his mother who was ruthlessly abandoned by her husband and is still widowed?
If he refuses to let it go and Li Dewu dies early or even suddenly suddenly for whatever reason, then in the eyes of Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, Li Shan is more or less suspected of patricide.
In ancient times, filial piety had a very strong influence on any class of society. The Xuanwumen Incident in history left Li Shimin with a stain that can never be erased. However, similar coups are not uncommon in the long history of history. Li Shimin attracted attention, on the one hand because of his own outstanding prominence, and on the other hand because his opponent was his father Li Yuan.
"It is absolutely impossible for a son to kill his father!" Zhu whispered: "But a wife kills her husband..."
"Huh?" Princess Pingyang interrupted: "Pei Shuying also said this, why not let her come?"
Li Shan smiled lazily and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"Why?"
"Although that man is mediocre in intelligence, he does have some scheming skills." Li Shan said with a smile: "Do you believe that he will find an opportunity to leak the story of Pei Shuying's intention to kill her husband to Fang Xuanling or Du Ruhui, and spread it to the ears of King Qin?"
Princess Pingyang was startled and immediately became discouraged. If Li Shimin knew about it, then... Li Shan would still be suspected of patricide.
"Alang?" Mrs. Zhu stared at her son, "Don't you have any hatred in your heart?"
"How can there be no hatred?" Li Shan said seriously: "Not only does the child hate, but he also knows the mother's hatred."
Zhu didn't speak anymore. Li Shan actually had some thoughts in his mind, but they were vague and didn't have a clear idea. But one thing is for sure. If you want to solve this shit-like trouble, Pei Shiju might be able to help. busy.
