Governor please stay

Chapter 24 The only way to win people's hearts

In front of a small temple not far from Yongning Temple, Liu Yishou and Yuan Juli were sitting on a big rock opposite the temple.Yuan Juli changed into a set of loose black monk uniforms, which concealed his proud figure.

Under the moonlight, Liu Yishou lowered his head and was contemplating something, looking very focused, while Yuan Juli, who was sitting next to him, was rather boring. After all, sitting at the gate of a temple in the middle of the night is really confusing .

"Don't you think, the two of us are sitting here..."

Before Yuan Juli finished speaking, Liu Yishou continued, "You look like a fool, right?"

You don't have to speak so directly, do you?

Yuan Juli nodded slightly, she really felt that she was acting like a fool now.

"I'm just betting whether Queen Mother Hu's strategy will be the same as I think."

"What strategy can Queen Mother Hu have?"

Yuan Juli asked curiously.

"How could the Empress Dowager Hu have no strategy? A country cannot live without a king, and the emperor has no queen, so what will the Empress Dowager Hu do? Of course it is to find a replacement."

Liu Yishou said quietly, Yuan Juli felt that these words sounded very familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, isn't it just the point of view instilled in him by the other party before!

It is true that the Son of Heaven has no heirs, but the lineage of the successors is very particular!

For the Empress Dowager Hu and the powerful officials, the successor emperor must be young, honest and obedient, and the family power should not be too strong!For Queen Mother Hu, the lineage of King Pengcheng is not the worst choice (the worst is King Yuanyong of Gaoyang).

But also a pretty poor choice.After all, Empress Dowager Hu had something to do with the death of the old King Pengcheng.

Put yourself in the shoes, would Queen Mother Hu leave the position of the emperor vacant?If it doesn't exist, she will definitely find someone who is easy to control.A child of one or two years old seems to be the best transition.

"Is there someone living around here?"

Yuan Juli finally came to his senses, she is not stupid, but lacks experience.

At this moment, a team of palace guards came, saw Liu Yishou and the others sitting on the big rock, and immediately surrounded them with weapons!So Yuan Juli did not get Liu Yishou's answer.

"You two, what are you doing here late at night?"

The leading palace guard asked in a deep voice, the armor on them was very similar to Captain Yu's, but the color was darker, so it was hard to see clearly under the moonlight.

"Can't you see what we're doing?"

Liu Yishou suddenly put his arms around Yuan Juli's waist, bit her ear intimately and said in a low voice, "Cooperate."

After hearing this, Yuan Juli quickly hugged Liu Yishou's arm, and looked at the palace guards surrounding them with provocative eyes, which seemed to say: We just like to flirt here, are we in the way of your business?

Lying in a trough, handsome men and beautiful women sprinkled dog food in the middle of the night, several palace guards looked at each other, thinking of the fox demon in some ghost stories, and worried that these two people were pretending to be fox demons, or they were not so handsome. Woolen cloth?
For a while, the scene actually froze.

Can this scare people?
Liu Yishou sighed softly and said, "We're just looking for faults, you take us to find Captain Yu."

Captain Yu!
The palace guards all changed their faces exaggeratedly in an instant, and some people backed away quietly, trying to slip away.

"Hey, people who violated the curfew are here, why don't you come and catch them? How do you watch the night?"

Liu Yishou felt very strange, as if the people in front of him heard Yu Xiaowei's name, it was like seeing a tiger wandering around.

"Well, brother. The curfew and the like are all about catching suspicious people. You guys like to talk at night, so it's up to you. But it's really inconvenient to meet the captain, so you can leave now. As long as you don't wander around , everything is up to you.”

The leading palace guard said with some embarrassment.

Liu Yishou instantly understood that Yu Xiaowei's strict management of the army made these soldiers afraid.These palace guards are all honored sons of Luoyang, and they all eat soy sauce all day long.

If you catch someone who has been in love for two months and goes back, you will definitely be scolded by Captain Yu.You must know that the regular night patrol work in Luoyang City is not carried out by the palace guards. The place where the palace guards patrol the night is the palace. Going out of the palace to watch the night is a special task!

Obviously, their curfew here is not aimed at people like Liu Yishou, but at certain groups of people.

But this secret, the leading palace guard cannot tell Liu Yishou.

"Send someone to lead us to see Captain Yu."

Liu Yishou said calmly, with unquestionable power, the palace guards were a little taken aback, feeling that the matter might not be simple, because the other party was too confident.

The leading palace guard reluctantly appointed someone to lead the way, and then left with the others.After this trial, Liu Yishou has basically confirmed some things.

Infer boldly, verify carefully, the deduction process is over, now it's time to go to Captain Yu to verify.

……

Captain Yu's office is not in the palace, but in the northwest corner of Luoyang City, near Jinyong City's Baichilou!
Coming here, even an inexperienced princess like Yuan Juli sensed something was wrong.Why didn't the palace guards of the imperial army who belonged directly to the Queen Mother stay in the palace, but ran to the vicinity of Jinyong City in the northwest corner of Luoyang?

Liu Yishou secretly thought, this may be a kind of "stress response" of the Empress Dowager Hu to the current situation. Simply put, it is to use her own people and cronies to control the core of Luoyang's city defense (it is impossible to control all the city gates, after all, Luoyang is too big. up).

She may not have noticed anything, it is likely that she just vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"If you don't want something like Mrs. Feng to happen to you tonight, don't separate from me. In Pengcheng Prince's Mansion, I was able to take Mrs. Feng out of the body, but here, a hundred Liu Yishous are not enough to watch."

Yuan Juli quickly followed Liu Yishou's footsteps, not daring to look around.

The two came to the signing room, the palace guard who led the way ran faster than a rabbit, and disappeared in a blink of an eye after closing the door.Liu Yishou originally thought that Xiaowei Yu's office should have a lot of copywriting, but he didn't expect that there was not even a piece of paper, not even pen and ink!

He's not just here to waste time, is he?

A strange thought rose in Liu Yishou's mind.

"Last time you said you were going to do something big..."

Yu Xiaowei looked at the handsome Yuan Juli beside Liu Yishou, thought for a while, and in the end he didn't say anything, all the words were in a sigh.

What's wrong with flirting with a beautiful girl for the "sex happiness" of the rest of my life?This is just human nature!Why is it not a big deal?

Captain Yu asked curiously: "Then why did you find me in such a high-profile way?"

"Do you know who this one is?"

Liu Yishou pointed to Yuan Juli and asked back.

"I know, the third daughter of Pengcheng Wang's family is very outstanding in appearance. It should be said that she is the most beautiful daughter in their family."

Yu Xiaowei said casually, as if he knew all these things well.

Liu Yishou and Yuan Juli looked at each other, and the latter kind of understood why Liu Yishou came to find Captain Yu so late.

"The palace guards of the imperial army are setting up defenses near Yongning Temple. Even if they get close, they will be interrogated. What's going on?"

Liu Yishou asked in a deep voice.

Captain Yu rolled his eyes, showing no interest in answering.

"Then let me put it another way. Empress Dowager Hu has already selected a candidate for the new emperor, and he lives near Yongning Temple. You set up defenses there, just to see who will wander around there and who will get into the cage ,Right?"

Captain Yu put his legs on the desk in his office, his posture seemed to say: You continue to make up, I will listen.

"Then I'll use the method of elimination, you don't need to answer."

Liu Yishou paced back and forth, pointed at Yuan Juli and said, "The daughters of Pengcheng Prince's family are all married to powerful families, among them is the Li family of Longxi. As for the one next to him, he has long been famous, so we don't have to worry about finding it." good family.

Yuan Ziyou and others are also adults, and there are three legitimate sons.This force has formed its own system, and it is difficult for Queen Mother Hu to get involved. Therefore, the line of King Pengcheng was excluded. "

"Prince Gaoyang has many heirs, but he has always been careless about government affairs, and he has many children. If Queen Mother Hu gives the position of emperor to King Gaoyang's lineage, she will not be able to get along. The main reason is that King Gaoyang's reputation is too bad. .”

"The Son of Heaven has no heirs, so of course there is no need to say much. But there is one family that seems to meet the requirements of Empress Dowager Hu, and that is the descendants of Emperor Xuanwu's younger brother Yuan Yu's family.

I remember, it seems that there is still Yuan Baoju.Of course, Yuan Baoju is also an adult, and Empress Dowager Hu must be afraid of him, and it is impossible to make him the emperor.

But, does he have a son?Do his brothers, even those who are deceased, have any sons?So I was very curious.

Captain Yu, can you give me an answer?Although it will be easy for me to find out, but you tell me, it will be faster. "

Liu Yishou is very sure that Yu Xiaowei can recognize Yuan Juli at a glance. Apart from this being a beautiful woman, it also shows that Yu Xiaowei is a "caring person".But in his capacity, he just needs to obey the Queen Mother Hu's order, and do what he wants to do with his "heart".

All he has is disobedience!
"Your head is really...a bit powerful."

Captain Yu sighed, and greeted Liu Yishou and the two of them. After the three of them approached, he said with a little helplessness: "The Son of Heaven and Pan Chonghua have a daughter who hasn't been named yet, and few people know about it.

Tomorrow, Empress Dowager Hu will announce it to the world, falsely claiming that this woman is a man, and ascend the throne as emperor.However, this is not always a long-term solution.Therefore, Queen Mother Hu took a fancy to Yuan Zhao, the son of Yuan Baoju's late brother Yuan Baohui. As you said, he was very young, only two years old.

Yuan Baoju's family lives near Yongning Temple, your guess is completely correct. "

Yuan Juli's heart was full of turmoil, and she didn't expect that she would hear the news that the head would fall if she was not careful.It's just that Yu Xiaowei told Liu Yishou that it was all right, why did he tell her?

"Lieutenant Yu, you should have seen the relationship between me and her. Governor Erzhu's plan is to support the lineage of King Pengcheng and choose one of the three sons to be the emperor.

The ship of Queen Mother Hu is about to sink.The Pengcheng Prince's Mansion has the powerful foreign aid of Dudu Erzhu, and it is only a matter of time before they win.If he surrenders again at that time, I'm afraid... Wei Guo will have no place for a general to stand.

It's better to turn to the light at the critical moment, Yu Xiaowei.Some of you have made suggestions in front of the governor of Erzhu, and this third lady has said good things in front of the new king. Captain Yu can eat both sides, and you will buy both sides.

Grasping with both hands, both hands are hard, double the happiness, why not do it? "

Tsk tsk tsk, the dead can be said to be alive, and there is nothing more than this.

Yuan Juli secretly sighed in his heart, Liu Yishou is really eloquent, the key is to be reasonable.Not to mention Yu Xiaowei, even me, I feel as if I really have a relationship with Liu Yishou!
"What proof do you have?"

Captain Yu asked in a deep voice.

Suspect is the buyer!Liu Yishou secretly called out "Stable!"
"If there is such a thing, can it still enter and exit the city gate safely? What if it is caught?
Captain Yu can stand still, but with your ability, you can definitely know when the army of Commander Erzhu will occupy the important town of Heyang on the other side of the Yellow River!

If Heyang is lost, Luoyang means there is no danger to defend. You know this better than me.If there is that day, you should be able to believe what I said. If there is no such day, I can't run away in Shengming Temple, and it will be easy for you to go and catch me again. "

well said!
Yuan Juli shouted in his heart, applaud Liu Yishou!These words really hit the nail on the head, Xiaowei Yu has now reached the final moment of fate, and he has no way out.

At this time, I can only listen to Liu Yishou.After all, Empress Dowager Hu didn't have that great ability to persuade Captain Yu to follow her to the dark.If she had that kind of ability, she would be the second Empress Dowager Feng of the Northern Wei Dynasty. How could she end up in today's end?

"I have heard all your words. So, what should I do to win your trust?"

Yu Xiaowei is a sensible person, so he naturally knows that the agreement at a critical moment cannot be trusted.

"People from Pengcheng Prince's Mansion will leave Luoyang one day. Captain Yu will open the city gate and let them go that night. To win people's trust, you can't talk empty words, you have to show real money, right? ?”

After hearing this, Xiaowei Yu nodded, and took out a red piece of armor from his bosom, which was a surplus of his crotch armor.

"This piece of armor has a special shape. It has two pieces of yin and yang (concave and convex), which fit together perfectly. When you need to open the city gate, use this as a token. After using it, I will take back the piece of armor."

Liu Yishou got the armor plate, handed it to Yuan Juli and said, "Put it away, your family's life-saving talisman, and use it again at critical moments."

Yuan Juli didn't know why Liu Yishou said it in front of Captain Yu, but he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Lieutenant Yu is busy with official duties, so let's take our leave."

Liu Yishou bowed his hands and said goodbye, Yu Xiaowei sent him out of Baichilou, and then sat down on the wooden stool in the signing room, feeling like he was going to collapse.

"Young people are awesome, you can run so far."

Yu Xiaowei muttered to himself.

……

In this season, the dawn was already very early, facing the rays of the sun, Yuan Juli's beautiful eyes kept staring at Liu Yishou's face, and the more he looked at it, the more handsome he felt.

She originally thought that Mrs. Feng was very superficial, and she would "fall" just because the man was handsome. She didn't expect that after this night, she found out that the clown was herself.

"How do you know so many things about the royal family?"

Yuan Juli asked curiously.

"Would you believe me if I said it was all a bluff?"

"I believe you a ghost!"

That Yu Xiaowei is not a simple character at first glance, Yuan Juli can't believe that Liu Yishou doesn't know anything.

"By the way, in fact, last night, even if Mrs. Feng lost her virginity, the consequences were not as serious as you thought. The difference between her marrying my brother and marrying her cousin is not that big.

I know it's hard for you to accept, but... the rules of the game are like this a lot of times.And you'll take your life, and it's not worth it. "

Yuan Juli stood where he was, and said to Liu Yishou's back.

"No matter how beautiful you say that, you can't answer one of my questions."

"what is the problem?"

"Have you asked her about those things? Have you asked Mrs. Feng about those things that you think are very good and things that don't matter?"

Yuan Juli was speechless.

"That's why I hate people like you."

Liu Yishou left without looking back.Yuan Juli looked at the red armor in his hand, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and quickly followed the other party, for fear that he would run away.
