People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1051 Persuading the Prince to Rebellion

"Everyone, please step aside." Li Xian entered the study alone, and even Liu Nayan and Gao Qi asked him to step aside.

Looking at the undersea tree placed between the central bookshelf, Li Xian said calmly: "Destiny has its destiny, and its behavior has its way. We should be cautious, stay calm and wait for things to happen."

"What kind of Chang is this, and what kind of way is this?" Li Jingye walked out of the corner with a calm expression and stood behind Li Xian.

Li Xian didn't look back, wasn't surprised, and just said calmly: "Destiny has its destiny. It will not survive for Yao, nor will it perish for Jie."

"Destiny is destined, and only the virtuous will live in it." Li Jingye's eyes became fierce.

Li Xian shook his head and said: "Destiny has its destiny. We must seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. How can we pursue good fortune and avoid misfortune? A house that accumulates good deeds will always be happy."

"Heaven has its constants, and the earth has its constants, which are used to control the destiny of heaven." Li Jingye walked in front of Li Xian, walked to the side of the seabed tree, and moved gently towards the candlelight.

There was no change in the undersea tree, but the shadow it cast suddenly showed two strange words: "Destiny."

Li Xian sighed softly and said: "You are the only one who has still used this method in these years."

A few years ago, Li Jingye gave Li Xian a gift.

But it was on Li Xian's birthday, and the gifts were mixed among everyone.

If Li Jingye hadn't sent a note to remind him, Li Xian probably wouldn't have noticed the fishiness involved.

Not many people knew about that incident. They were all close associates of Prince Yong's Mansion at that time. The only one who is still in Luoyang now is Huangfu Gongyi.

After Li Xian rediscovered the underground tree, he couldn't help but observe carefully.

The emperor suspected that someone had tampered with it, and he also suspected it, so he naturally wanted to find out where the tampering was.

Even he happened to see the reflection on the ground when he was about to leave, and then he saw the meaning inside.

Once this method is revealed, it will become clear who is the person behind the scenes.

In Henan Station, he secretly stole the undersea tree and blamed it on the Buddhists, and then on the Taoist sect. Then he used the demonic sect to top the vat, which aroused the hostility of the Taoist and Buddhists towards the demonic sect, leading them into this situation and completely muddying the water. , and he observed everything at close range, and even the person who quietly came to the East Palace to see Li Xian was Li Jingye.

"Your Highness is willing to see me, which means that something happened today." Li Jingye stared at Li Xian, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

Li Xian did not see this trace of ridicule. He just looked at the undersea tree, nodded slightly, and said, "The people from the Demon Cult escaped."

"The Emperor Xiao of the Demon Sect still has some tricks." Li Jingye revealed the identity of the escaped person in one sentence, and then said calmly: "Your Majesty and the Queen intend to use this assassination to wipe out one or two Turkic tribes, and then Then transfer one or two tribes to Mobei.

In this way, Monan will be able to free up the pasture, and he will be able to do it with ease whether he is rewarding the heroes or sitting back and watching the fight.

It's just that they forget that once some methods are used too much, they will gradually become ineffective, just like taking medicine. "

Li Xian's eyes were lowered, and he felt like he had been seen through by Li Jingye.

Although there was some trouble with the emperor's body before, with Empress Wu here, everything was arranged properly.

Not a shred of news leaked out at all.

But Li Jingye.

Li Xian felt a sense of vigilance in his heart.

Li Jingye's ability still makes him quite afraid.

Today, although Li Xian turned a blind eye, Li Jingye was able to enter the East Palace quietly, which shows his ability.

In the entire East Palace, in the entire palace, Li Jingye had no idea how many informants there were.

After all, Li Ji promoted too many people back then, and even the emperor and Empress Wu couldn't tell how many people had been favored by Li Ji.

Now that Li Jingye has sneaked back to Luoyang, there are many people who are willing to help him secretly...

But how much did Li Jingye know about the emperor's condition.

……

"No matter how strong the Turks are, what can they do?" Li Xian shook his head calmly and said, "Without anyone else, Pingyang County Duke's three thousand cavalry can kill from east to west."

Li Jingye fell silent immediately. Xue Rengui, the murderer, would really dare to do anything if the emperor ordered it.

"Besides, Duke Wenxi will be back soon." Li Xian turned sideways and looked at Li Jingye. Pei Xingjian's combat ability was even higher than that of Xue Rengui.

What Li Jingye wanted to say before was suddenly shattered.

"Autumn is about to enter the northwest, and it will be extremely cold in September. The King of Nanchang can also be transferred back." Li Xian added.

Li Jingye's fists suddenly clenched.

The King of Nanchang was known as Huo Qubing in the court, and there were even rumors in the court that if His Majesty hadn't suppressed him forcefully, the King of Nanchang might have killed and captured Luozu by now.

Once the King of Nanchang resorts to unscrupulous means, both gods and ghosts will be worried.

Li Jingye raised his head: "What His Highness said is indeed reasonable. Under normal circumstances, there is no problem in doing so. But if all the Turkic tribes in Monan and Mobei were to move and become chaotic, even if the Tang Dynasty could We sent enough soldiers, but the loss of military supplies and the turmoil of the war were enough to prevent the Tang Dynasty from recovering for thirty years."

"What were you talking about just now?" Li Xian suddenly turned around, looked at Li Jingye carefully, and said with some disbelief: "You said that all the Turkic tribes in Monan and Mobei are all in turmoil?" Li Xian said He looked up, blinked slightly, and then his whole body was instantly cold.

"That's right, in Monan and Mobei, all the grassland tribes are in turmoil, with countless disputes and endless fighting." Li Jingye shook his head and said: "The Tang Dynasty was so confident that he kept looking up, so confident that I have never lowered my head to take a look, and now on the grassland, people’s hearts have been completely shaken.”

"It's you... No, it's not you. You don't have this ability." Li Xian looked at Li Jingye and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

He did not deny that Li Jingye could indeed do many things with the help of the prestige left by Li Ji, but he did not yet have the ability to completely connect all the grassland tribes.

Li Jingye nodded seriously and said, "That's true. Although Jingye is unwilling, he is still loyal to Datang.

As for the grassland, there should be new heroes rising on the grassland, just like Tuli and Jieli back then. New heroes, new careerists, new people trying to unify the entire grassland? "

"Who?" Li Xian's breathing became heavy.

Although he is in danger now, Li Xian is also eager to kill enemies who can threaten the entire Tang Dynasty.

Li Jingye shook his head slightly and said: "There are ten surnames in the Western Turks and twenty-eight in the Eastern Turks. No, there should be only twenty-four surnames left now. There are more than thirty large tribes alone, and there are countless small-scale tribes. Everyone, it’s not easy to find him... not to mention that really smart people all know what it means to hide a dragon in Yuyuan, so it’s very difficult to find him.”

"What should we do?" Li Xian's face was solemn.

Li Jingye shook his head slightly and said: "I don't know, but Your Majesty and the Queen should know what they have noticed, otherwise these things would not have happened today."

"The emperor and the queen are luring the snake out of its hole." Li Xian nodded seriously.

"But it's a pity that the snake is too big." Li Jingye turned sideways, looked in the direction of Qianyang Palace, and said softly: "Your Highness is right, there is Pingyang County Duke, Wenxi County Duke, and Nanchang Prince , as well as Yan Guogong, Li Jinxing, Black Teeth Changzhi, Li Duozuo and others, it is really not easy for the Turks to cause trouble. It’s just..."

"Just what?" Li Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and looked at Li Jingye.

Li Jingye smiled softly and said to Li Xian: "Don't you think your opportunity has come, Your Highness? With the army outside, it's a good time for Your Highness to raise troops."

"Are you crazy?" Li Xian looked at Li Jingye as if he were an idiot, and said with a sneer: "I am the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, the heir apparent, and the only eldest son of the Tang Dynasty. I need to raise an army, and I need to rebel... "

"Your Highness, are you really His Majesty's eldest son? Are you really the only eldest son of His Majesty and the Queen?" Li Jingye did not shy away, stared at Li Xian, and said with a mocking look on his face: "Your Highness, Have you forgotten that before you, there was also the deposed Prince Zhong and the filial Emperor Hong, not to mention the current uproar about the Korean lady..."

"You know?" Li Xian looked at Li Jingye in disbelief.

Empress Wu hid the person tightly in Ye Ting. Li Xian once thought of taking action, but Huangfu Zhengyi pointed out the danger.

That's a game, a killing game.

Let alone Li Xian who rescued people from Yeting, what if he killed them on the spot?

Is it possible that he can crush people to ashes immediately?

No, he doesn't have that chance.

As soon as he moved, countless people immediately rushed out from the darkness, and the people he sent out displayed himself and the corpse in front of all the officials.

The next one is the deposed prince.

Of course, Empress Wu's method would not directly expose the doubts about Li Xian's life experience to the court, but everyone who should know knew it.

The only question is what crime to convict.

However, the person was firmly hidden in Yeting. Even the prime minister at the time was just guessing. How did Li Jingye know?

"Your Highness underestimates others." Li Jingye looked at Li Xian as if he were an idiot, shook his head gently, and said: "Not to mention a few prime ministers, a few ministers, even those temple ministers, and Shaoqing , now nine times out of ten, we already know the identity of that child."

"This is impossible." Li Xian suddenly swayed, staggered two steps, and looked at Li Jingye in disbelief.

All along, he thought that this matter was being kept tightly under wraps by Empress Wu in Ye Ting, and that even if he wanted to pry into what was going on inside, it would be extremely difficult for him to spy on it. But now, how could it become known to everyone.

If that's the case, then who does he have now and what has he done in the past six months or so?

He was like a clown, being watched by countless people as if they were having fun.

"The same thing I said, Your Highness underestimates the people of the world." Li Jingye walked to Li Xian's side, shook his head with some pity, and said: "Every official in the court was bloody step by step in countless fights. came out.

The slightest disturbance in the palace would keep them up all night, let alone a major incident involving people from the Ministry of Punishment, Jinwu Guards, Secret Guards, and Yushitai. It would be weird for them not to investigate everything secretly. . "

After a slight pause, Li Jingye patted Li Xian on the shoulder and said softly: "There are too many people who can find out the fact that the Dian Shan Cheng under His Highness has been to Xianyang."

"That's how you found out." Li Xian looked up at Li Jingye.

Li Jingye nodded heavily. He was still concerned about such a big matter even in Liuzhou.

What's more, his power at the local level is inherently stronger than his power at the center, so it's not surprising to find out.

"At that time, I was in another place and didn't know the inside story." Li Jingye stretched out his hand to help Li Xian upright, pressed him on the couch, then stood up straight and said calmly: "This matter now has actually come to an end. Today, the great responsibility lies with His Highness himself.

If His Highness had not made so much noise or done such things, others would not have suspected that Your Highness was no longer the heir of His Majesty and the Queen. "

"So, everything is Gu's fault?"

　In the winter of October of 679 (the first year of Tiaolu), the Turkic chief Ashide Wenfu, under the Shanyu Daduhu Mansion, led two tribes under his jurisdiction to rebel against the Tang Dynasty.

　　In 682 (the first year of Yongchun), the Later Turks were established.

　　Now that it has entered the process of establishing a post-Turkic country, as Li Jingye said, the entire Turks must turn away from the Tang Dynasty, and it is useless to kill one or two people.
