Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

In the past, he would never have believed that Xue Wanche had such a vision.

Xue Wanche smiled, picked up the wine jar directly, and gulped it down.

"Who is our old Xue? His Royal Highness doesn't know. The errands he has done these years look decent, but they are actually just a job of serving people. Anyone who mentions a few words from the shrewd people in Twelve Square is enough for our old man. Xue has been used for a lifetime."

What he said was so vague that even his two brothers didn't understand.

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up.

"Did you really, get the consent of those guys?"

"Naturally, we also know that the crown prince prepared that position for Helan Chushi. He has followed His Highness the crown prince for more than ten years, so he should get some credit, but those guys also said that they will give Helan Chushi enough compensation! "

Li Chengqian didn't reply immediately, but bowed his head and pondered for a moment, and said: "It's not impossible, those guys are powerful enough, and if a little bit of goodness is leaked through the cracks of their fingers, it will be enough for He Lan to eat and drink for several lifetimes, this job, I will accept it." you!"

Xue Wanche laughed loudly, patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder, and said: "Our old Xue is loyal to His Royal Highness, and this trip will definitely make His Royal Highness look proud!"

After playing until ten o'clock late at night, the Xue family brothers left the East Palace.

The three brothers all drank a lot, and they couldn't ride a horse.

Helan Chushi, the chief guard of the Eastern Palace, specially prepared a carriage for them.

Seeing Xue Wanche lying sprawled in the carriage, sound asleep, Helan Chushi pursed his lips and snorted heavily.

He hadn't lost his manners.

Say goodbye to Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanbei, wait for them to leave the gate of the East Palace, and then go back.

Tread-tap-

The carriage moved slowly.

The groom of the East Palace is an old man from the Jinwu Guard.

The skill of riding a horse is far from the pinnacle, but it will definitely not make the people in the carriage feel the slightest jolt.

Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanbei looked at Xue Wanche who was soundly asleep, and they were silent for a long time.

Ever since Xue Wanche joined the property department, the brothers had less contact with each other.

We all know that the real estate department is busy, not only to take care of the living problems of the residents, but also to take care of the management of several newly developed new districts.

Xue Wanche's several chief executives all came from extraordinary backgrounds.

The one with the lowest status also has a prime minister father.

Over the past few years, Xue Wanche, who was once reckless and rude, has forcibly honed a slick temperament.

The most important thing is that the brothers can't understand him more and more

Xue Wanjun frowned.

This kind of expression is very rare on the face of the dignified former Luoyang left-behind governor.

Xue Wanbei pushed Xue Wanche and turned him over.

His snoring was so loud that if he accidentally blocked the valve with his tongue, a well-behaved person could be suffocated to death.

"The fourth brother should have robbed Helan's family of benefits, otherwise why would Helan Chushi be dissatisfied with him?"

Xue Wanbei said cautiously.

Xue Wanjun stroked his beard and said, "I'm more concerned about who the 'those guys' that the fourth child is talking about are?"

Xue Wanbei thought for a while and said, "Could it be the one from the south?"

"This"

Xue Wanjun nodded, then shook his head again.

"At first, I also thought it was Liu Bai, but looking carefully, it seems that the fourth child is not necessary, because that person is hiding from the prince. After all, Liu Bai arranged for him to work as a property manager, maybe"

Speaking of this, Xue Wanjun was startled.

"Tell me, will it be?"

In the middle of speaking, Xue Wanche's snoring stopped abruptly, and he said like he was dreaming: "Third Brother, don't guess."

After speaking, the snoring started again

Xue Wanjun's mouth twitched a few times.

"Fifth, go and replace the brother outside."

As he spoke, he pulled the jade pendant from his waist and stuffed it into Xue Wanbei's hand.

Xue Wanbei responded and got out of the carriage.

After a few polite words, he gave the jade pendant to the groom and drove the car himself.

Only then did Xue Wanjun in the carriage open his mouth and said, "Fourth brother, is it possible that you can't even trust your brothers? Or do you mean?"

Xue Wanche suddenly opened his eyes.

Looking at him again, where is the slightest drunkenness?

He got up, sat down and took a breath.

"We brothers have worked so hard for Datang for half of our lives. Does the third brother think that I have the heart to rebel? Or is it that the crown prince has the heart to rebel?"

Xue Wanjun's face changed drastically!

Before he could speak again, Xue Wanche took out a secret letter like a magic trick.

"Your Majesty's secret order, Lu Guogong and Zuo Tunwei General Xue Wanjun accept the order!"

Xue Wanjun trembled, and then the carriage stopped abruptly, and then continued on its way.

Xue Wanche's expression didn't change.

"The minister accepts the order!"

Xue Wanjun slowly knelt down in the carriage.

It stands to reason that there is no need to kneel to receive the order.

But the secret decree is different. Under normal circumstances, only the emperor's 'retainers' can receive this kind of decree.

At this moment, Xue Wanjun's mood was half apprehensive, half excited.

"Secretly ordered Lu Guogong and Zuo Tunwei General Xue Wanjun to lead the Hedao Marching Army Chief to go to Gaochang to conquer disobedient ministers!"

Chapter 1542 A storm is coming, but I can't even find a place to hide

That night, an undercurrent surged in the city of Chang'an.

The top priority, of course, is the [-] quota that His Majesty said during the Great Court Assembly in the morning.

Secondly, three of the five Xue family brothers drank wine in the East Palace for a whole day.

There is nothing unusual about drinking alcohol. The prince needs to cultivate power, and even the emperor acquiesces, so why worry about others?

What really caught the eye was that the emperor actually handed over the task of selecting the list to four members of the Xue family except Xue Wanche!

The moment the news spread, the unknown Xue family immediately became popular.

In the middle of the night, countless posts were delivered to Duke Lu's mansion.

Although the five brothers of the Xue family all have titles, the eldest and the second are also dukes, but the third Xue Wanjun has the highest title.

In the eyes of outsiders, a person with a high title has a greater right to speak.

There were also some shrewd ones who quietly handed over the post to the property department.

They can see that Xue Wanche is the one who will really use what the Xue family says in the future.

Don't even think about it, the owners of these posts must want to come to visit, 'by the way' on that list, to ask for a place.

But without exception, all the posts fell into the sea, and there was no response at all.

In the morning, just before dawn, another breaking news came.

A dozen or so fast horses rushed in just as the gate of Chang'an City was just opened.

Looking at the appearance, it was the Zuo Tunwei general from the North Camp!

You must know that the people in the North Camp are strictly forbidden to step into Chang'an City without a transfer order.

It's as light as ten army sticks, and as heavy as death!

More than a dozen fast horses rushed into Chang'an City and came straight to Duke Lu's mansion.

Just like last night's post, no reply at all

Those people seem to live in Lu Guogong's mansion.

What's even more incredible is that it wasn't the people from Beidaying who entered the city.

Rather, Xue Wanjun, Duke of the State of Lu, has never been in charge of the army since he resigned as the left-behind governor of Luoyang.

Some people rumored that it was because Xue Wanjun was a member of Luo Yimen, and the disaster of Xuanwumen caused His Majesty to completely lose trust in Xue Wanjun.

Xue Wanjun summoned the Zuotun guards with great fanfare, which meant a lot

Until the third day after the end of the Great Court!

Those soldiers and generals just came out from Lu Guogong's mansion.

However, they did not return to Beidaying, but went straight into the palace!

This news made the originally tense atmosphere in Chang'an City a little more jittery.

Dai Zhou, who was temporarily in charge of the chief assistant, led 11 civil servants above the fourth rank, and was detained three times, but he was not summoned by the emperor.

At the same time, the gate of the East Palace was also closed, and outsiders were not allowed to enter.

Prince Wei led Helan Chushi to personally hold a halberd and guard the gate of the palace.

The strange thing is that the academy, which is very close to the Daming Palace, has announced that it is temporarily closed, and the reason is to prepare for the upcoming examination

Regardless of whether they were officials in the court or Xiu Mu was at home, such as Gao Shilian, Yu Shinan, Xiao Yu, etc., as long as they belonged to the academy, they were forcibly called into the academy by the dean Wang Ji.

Moreover, none of the princesses who entered the palace a few days before the Great Court Meeting came out

The tense atmosphere continued to ferment.

For the first time, all civil and military officials felt that this city where they had spent half their lives was so strange

So strange that they all felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

He knew that a storm was coming, but he couldn't even find a place to hide.

Five days after the Great Court Meeting on the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, that is, the 27th of the twelfth lunar month.

It stands to reason that the Chinese New Year is almost here, and it is time for officials to take a rest.

Today was supposed to be the last great court meeting in the ninth year of Zhenguan.

But yesterday the palace announced that the last court meeting would be cancelled.

Before dawn, civil and military officials, who could not sleep or eat, gathered in the mansions of the three provinces, wanting to seek an explanation from the bigwigs of the three provinces.

No one is in the mood to go home for the New Year.

Once we go back, who knows if there is still life to come back?

Now the current court situation, when Liu Bai was with him, has undergone tremendous changes.

Most of the old officials who followed Li Er to fight the world have not yet retired.

But he retreated to the second line early.

Even those in important positions spend two days fishing.

Young collectives are on the rise.

These young forces are divided into three factions.

One faction, headed by Di Zhixun, the servant of the Criminal Ministry, is in charge of criminal and prison cases.

One faction, headed by Chang'an County Magistrate Zhao Pu, most of them are local officials.

The last faction is slightly weaker.

Most of them are middle- and lower-level officials in the court, and almost all of them are from academies!
