Chapter 552

Xu's mansion began with the Taiping King Xu Zhengqi.

It was the first noble family in the Tang Dynasty, sharing weal and woe with the royal family.

Xu laotaijun, an orphan daughter adopted by the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, later worshipped Xu Zhengqi as his adoptive father and finally married Xu Zhengqi's third son.

An orphan girl who did not know her origin once stood at the top of the pyramid of the Tang Dynasty.

In front of the body, endless glory.

After death, sorrow and glory are even better.

Xun GUI, the royal family, and the Minister of culture and military all went to Xu's house to express their condolence.

On this day, the capital is plain and the streets are covered with white paper.

It's just that while we are dealing with the affairs of old lady Xu, there is one more thing that we need to find out.

Old lady Xu was poisoned. Who did this? I don't know how to comfort the spirit of old lady Xu.

"Xu Yuanzu, is that what you found out?"

The Empress Dowager looked at the two people who were taken down by Xu Yuanzu, and her face was not generally ugly.

One of them is a mother who has been with Xu for many years, and the other is a son of Xu's family. Both of them have no reason to poison Xu.

"Back to the empress dowager, no, it's not!"

Xu Yuanzu quickly responded, "I, I just controlled the two people who finally met Lao Taijun. I don't know the truth yet!"

As a person who came to the capital from the countryside, even if he was admitted as a scholar, Xu Yuanzu still seemed to be a bit petty and cramped in the face of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager looked at Xu Yuanzu in disgust. She looked at the eldest princess who was accompanying her and asked her to take over the investigation.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. My sister-in-law will find out the truth, so as to comfort the spirit of the old emperor!"

The eldest princess took the job without hesitation.

Isn't that investigation?

Old lady Xu died of poisoning. As long as we find out the person who handled the bird's nest, if we can't find the real murderer, we will kill all the people involved. Although there is a mistake, the murderer can't escape.

……

The news of Xu's death soon spread from the capital.

As soon as Xu Shuo, the Duke of Ding, who was far away in the cold area of the north, received the news, he immediately left his job and went back to the capital.

Although he has been expelled from Xu's house, Xu is his mother.

How can he not show up when his mother died?

As for the task of exterminating savages, who do you love.

Xu Shuo, who had already suffered a disastrous defeat, had long wanted to return to the capital. Now with this ample excuse, how could he hesitate?

Xu Shuo, running without hesitation.

Compared with Xu Shuo's crispness and quickness, Emperor Yongping, who is far away from the Jingbian town of Qifeng Prefecture, is still hesitating.

He's on the Royal expedition!

Now the war situation is stalemate, and Datang is at a disadvantage.

If he, the emperor, leaves like this, in case of a big drop in morale, the result will be worse.

However, Emperor Yongping also understood that even if he stayed in jingbiancheng, the impact on the overall situation was negligible.

Taking advantage of the chance of Xu's death, his head teacher returned to Beijing, which is more or less justifiable.

"Mr. LAN, what do you think?"

Emperor Yongping looked at father LAN beside him and asked him thoughtfully.

Duke LAN, who had been working as a guard around emperor Yongping for a long time, used to be a close guard eunuch, but now he has spoken, so he can only continue to speak.

"My Lord, I feel that the old prince is noble. She was hurt by thieves. You should go back to Beijing, my Lord!"

"Well, then pass on my will and return to the court immediately!"

After this time, Emperor Yongping did not want to make any achievements.

This person will never know what he can or can't do without being beaten by the society.

At one time, he wanted to be the best in the Tang Dynasty with his own ability, and Yongping emperor was really hard to fight. Even at the risk of his own life.

Now, he is sober.

He is only suitable to sit in Qiantian hall and plan strategies.

As for fighting on the battlefield and crusading against foreign enemies, these things still have to be done by others. This other person, such as king Yan, marquis Wu Cheng, uncle Yong Wu

And these noble and military families in the capital, which have been handed down since the founding of the people's Republic of China, no longer have the ability of their ancestors and have to be eliminated gradually.

Yongping emperor, who has not yet returned to the capital, has already begun to figure out how to clean up these dead xungui and generals.

As an emperor, his ideas are still very positive.

It's a pity that in the hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, either Xun GUI or the family of military generals has become the climate. If emperor Yongping rashly wants to cut across the board, he is afraid that he will be beaten by the society. If he is not lucky, he may lose his life directly.When Emperor Yongping's will to return to the imperial court was conveyed, the two battalions of soldiers and horses left in Jingbian City burst into thunderous roars.

In the hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, it was not only xungui's family that degenerated. Even the north and South battalions, which were good at fighting, had become a show.

……

Xiangyi Prefecture is located in Yicheng, the magistrate's Yamen.

Mr. Xu also received the news that the old prince of Xu's family had passed away, and the news came from the carriage caravan of Xiangyi's family running to the capital.

The official carriage of Xiangyi Prefecture, under the operation of boss Xu, formed a very special information system.

"Dad, do you think it's time for the emperor to return?"

After receiving the news of Xu's death, Xu found him for the first time.

Mr. Xu said with a smile, "as long as he has a brain, he will surely return to the imperial court."

"Dad, don't we have to go to Qifeng mansion?"

Xu's face was full of joy. He didn't want to fight for the dog emperor for a long time.

"No, we've got to go, and we've got to get going!"

This time, Mr. Xu gave the opposite answer.

"The emperor will return to the imperial court, but in Jingbian City, there will certainly be a lot of soldiers, horses, grain, grass and weapons. These are good things. Whoever gets them will go to him!"

Now that chaos has become a foregone conclusion, they should try their best to enrich their own strength.

Emperor Yongping's personal expedition led to the gathering of troops not only from the capital, but also from Qifeng and Donglin.

When Emperor Yongping returned to Beijing, the soldiers of the north and South battalions would surely follow him back to Beijing, but the town troops belonging to the Qifeng and Donglin prefectures would stay for 90%.

Master Xu had the idea of these soldiers.

If it works properly, Qifeng and Donglin will be under their control.

As long as you control Xiangyi mansion, Donglin mansion and Qifeng mansion, you can enter Longxi mansion and expel all the Beiman who fled in Longxi mansion.

At that time, all the four northwest prefectures of the Tang Dynasty will be in the hands of Lao Xu's family.

This is the strategy!
