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

Chapter 1066 Everyone is eager for Li Xian to be deposed

The door opened, and Li Xuan's voice came out clearly: "Such an accomplished practitioner of the Book of Changes must have considerable knowledge, and he will be given some honors in the court. As long as you search carefully in the official department, This person’s identity can be found out.”

"My lord, I'll see you soon." Jiang Xing looked at Li Xuan and nodded in agreement.

In the ward, Li Xuan looked at the body on the wooden case and said softly: "Find his identity and send people to his location to investigate. Then we can find out what happened to him."

"So, where is my father?" Minggui couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, the disappearance of Master Shi Yin still needs to be investigated." Zhao Gong nodded, looked at Li Xuan and said, "Now there are two questions that need to be clarified. One is the identity of this person. If everything goes well, the officials will have results. , what to do if things don’t go well, and the second is the whereabouts of Master Shiyin.”

Minggui stood aside and suddenly lowered his head sadly.

Ming Chongyan has been missing for so long, and there is no news at all.

In this case, not even the Ming family, not even Minggui himself, dared to expect that he was still alive.

"Uncle, it's not two questions, it's five questions." Li Xuan sighed, shook his head, and said: "First, who is this person and how did he die; second, how did he get to Luoyang , who brought it; third, the whereabouts of Master Shiyin; fourth, where are the people from the Demon Cult now; fifth, where is Li Jingye now?"

Every time Li Xuan asked a question, Zhao Gong's face became heavier.

Li Xuan continued to speak and said: "It is best to investigate the identity of this person. The cause of his death should be found out from his origin. After that, who brought him here to pretend to be Shiyin?"

Minggui raised his head suddenly, and he immediately understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words.

"That's right, the person who did this probably already knows the whereabouts of Master Shiyin. He just needs to find him." Li Xuan glanced at Minggui, then looked at Zhao Gong, and continued: "In this matter , there are two suspects, Demon Cult and Li Jingye, if we find them, the whereabouts of Master Shi Yin will be known."

"How to find them?" Minggui couldn't help but ask.

"We are already making arrangements. We will wait for the news." Li Xuan shook his head slightly. As of now, all they can do is wait.

The previous alchemy cauldron was a hook. Others might not care, but Ming Chongyan would definitely be hooked out.

Once Ming Chongyan is lured out, the people from the Demon Sect will definitely keep an eye on him.

When the time comes, everyone will have to be killed.

As long as enough troops are prepared, all that's left is to kill people.

Li Xuan lowered her head slightly, her eyes twinkling.

What they are doing now is not just trying to catch people.

Li Xian, don’t pay too much attention.

The Queen is watching.

……

"Your Majesty." Rapid footsteps came from the front yard of the government office.

Li Xuan, Zhao Gong, Jiang Xing, and Minggui happened to walk out of the backyard door.

Seeing Yao Chong and Song Jing, Li Xuan asked directly: "Is there any news?"

"Yes." Yao Chong glanced at the other people, and when Li Xuan nodded, he raised his hands and said, "Reporting to the prince, there were three groups of people making unusual movements in Yongtongfang today."

"Which three groups of people?" Li Xuan took Yao Chong and Song Jing to the main hall of the government office, asked them to sit down, and then continued to ask.

"The first one is Feng Xin from the Dahe Gang in Luoyang. They are the most impatient. After knowing that the prince found the clue, they immediately sent the news back to the Dahe Gang, and then someone else immediately sent the news to Chang'an." Yao Chong. Tell the follow-up of today's events.

Li Xuan nodded lightly, then looked at Zhao Gong and said, "Uncle, wait until the people over in Chang'an find out, then put an end to the Dahe Gang."

"Okay!" Zhao Gong nodded calmly. All cats and dogs dared to get involved in the important affairs of the court.

"The second one was a police officer from Henan County. The others were still escorting the tripod. That person had quietly left and rushed to the home of Hu Enzheng, the head of the Criminal Department. After that, the servants of Hu Enzheng's family quickly rushed there. Let’s go to Chang’an.” After Yao Chong finished speaking, he looked at Li Xuan with a worried expression.

"Ministry of Punishment?" Li Xuan looked puzzled, turned to look at Zhao Gong and asked: "Uncle, in Yongtongfang today, the Henan County Captain and the member of the Ministry of Punishment are both here. Why do people from the Punishment Ministry still send news privately?"

Zhao Gong shook his head and said seriously: "I'm afraid I have to ask Pei Shangshu about this."

In the investigation of Chongyan's case, Pei Yan was actually involved again.

It's not the prince, it's Pei Yan.

Li Xuan frowned and said, "This shouldn't be done!"

Nowadays, there is a lot of involvement behind this case, and even Yuan Wanqing is hiding far away. How dare Pei Yan intervene at will.

"Don't worry about it. If someone is found in Chang'an, someone will naturally deal with it." Zhao Gong waved his hand, he didn't care about Pei Yan.

Now behind this matter, the person standing behind is Empress Wu.

Zhao Gong was investigating the case for Wu Hou.

If he found out anything, he would report it to Empress Wu as soon as possible, but Pei Yan had secretly intervened. It was Empress Wu who should ask him.

"The third one, I don't know who he is, he was very well concealed, pretended to be a salesman, and later went to Guangli Fang." Yao Chong looked up at Zhao Gong and said, "The next thing has been handed over to the secret guard. .”

Zhao Gong sneered lightly and said: "I didn't expect that Turks would actually get involved. They are really not afraid of death."

Guanglifang is located to the north of Luoyang West Market, where Turks gather.

This means that the Turks are also watching this case.

"The Demon Sect has been colluding with the Turks for more than ten years. Perhaps we can use what happened today to find the strongholds of the Demon Sect in Chang'an and Luoyang. As for the Turks..." Li Xuan looked at Zhao Gong and asked, "Uncle, Your Majesty and the Queen, what are the regulations on this matter?"

Within the two capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang, there are nearly 100,000 Turks and their descendants.

Once these people start rioting, it will definitely have a huge impact on Changan and Luoyang. One hundred thousand Turks can easily organize tens of thousands of soldiers.

However, Chang'an and Luoyang each have a population of at least one million.

One hundred thousand Turks are really not conspicuous.

Not to mention that there are still hundreds of thousands of troops stationed inside and outside the city. It is not easy for the Turks to cause chaos.

But this matter is not easy to deal with after all.

Zhao Gong looked at Li Xuan strangely and said softly: "Dalang, have you forgotten? Your official position as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the inspector of the school, is still there. This matter is your business!"

"Ah?" Li Xuan's eyes widened and she said in disbelief: "But uncle, neither His Majesty nor the Queen of Heaven said anything about this?"

"This is your business." Zhao Gong chuckled, and then said: "But before that, let's resolve the matter between the Demon Cult and Li Jingye."

"Okay." Li Xuan recovered her thoughts and looked serious.

The emperor and Empress Wu did not ask him to deal with the Turks before, so Li Xuan was caught off guard.

But to be honest, this matter is actually not a big deal, and it is not too difficult to deal with.

Most of the 100,000 Turks have adapted to life in Chang'an. Knowing the power of the Tang Dynasty, they have no unnecessary thoughts in their hearts.

Only a few people will rush forward regardless of the opportunity when they see it.

At least after killing these few people and appeasing the other Turks, the matter will be settled.

The only difficulty in this is how to distinguish who are the Turks loyal to the Tang Dynasty and who are those with ulterior motives.

……

The carriage was swaying, and Li Xuan and Zhao Gong were sitting in the carriage.

Li Xuan lowered her head and pondered, still thinking about the Turks.

Yao Chong and Song Jing were all placed in the official residence of Zuo Qianniu Guard.

It's not that Li Xuan and Zhao Gong are unwilling to be on duty, it's actually that there is a curfew now.

After the curfew, it is not easy for anyone or anything in Luoyang, Chang'an.

So even if there is news, it will be tomorrow.

And in Chang'an, there are still people handling things.

Li Xuan and Zhao Gong only need to take care of Chang'an.

"Da Lang." Zhao Gong suddenly spoke. Li Xuan looked up and saw Zhao Gong saying seriously: "Today's case seems okay at the moment, but you should know that even so, the consequences will be equally serious. "

Li Xuan's face suddenly became solemn and she said softly: "Uncle is talking about the prince."

Zhao Gong nodded solemnly. Ming Chongyan's case seemed to be related to the Turks, the Demon Cult, and Li Jingye, but in fact everyone was watching whether this matter had anything to do with the prince.

After all, a few months ago, the conflict between the prince and Ming Chongyan was the most serious. Ming Chongyan suddenly disappeared, and the prince was highly suspicious.

But just after the emperor's birthday, Ming Chongyan's body was suddenly found, and there was evidence in it that could destroy all Ming Chongyan's previous designs.

It proves that the rumors that the prince is not the son of Empress Wu are all framed by Ming Chongyan.

"If it is really Ming Chongyan who died, and he died because of his obsession, then this matter will be completely over, and there will be no more troubles, but..." Zhao Gong looked at Li Xuan and said seriously: "If Ming Chongyan was murdered, and the body in the secret room was not even Ming Chongyan, but was done by Li Jingye and the devil, then it means that the prince was colluding with Li Jingye and the devil to benefit himself."

Zhao Gong leaned forward, stared at Li Xuan and said: "Today, you have proved that the corpse is not Ming Chongyan, then next, as long as you find Li Jingye and the devil... just find the prince from their bodies If there is evidence of involvement, then the prince will be deposed."

Everything Li Xuan did today has pushed Li Xian hard towards being deposed.

At this time, even Yuan Wanqing didn't dare to do it, so he passed it on to Zhao Gong and Li Xuan.

"Uncle, that person is either Shi Yin Zhenren or a child like Ming Gui. They all saw the fishiness in it. How could the prince and the prime ministers in the court not see clearly? They were not doubting the prince, but This kind of thing requires evidence." Li Xuan looked at Zhao Gong seriously and said, "Uncle, do you think the prince will leave evidence?"

"No." Zhao Gong shook his head and said, "The prince can't, but the Demon Sect and Li Jingye might."

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Gong said solemnly: "You have said that even Minggui can see the problems with what happened today, so Li Jingye and the people of the Demon Sect really can't see it clearly at all. Well, maybe what they are doing is digging a trap for the prince."

"Yes, neither Li Jingye nor the people from the Demon Sect will sincerely help the prince." Li Xuan sighed softly, nodded and said: "As long as the prince is deposed and the center is in chaos, then no matter whether it is Li Jingye or the people of the demon sect, they will not help the prince sincerely." The Demonic Sect has great opportunities for the Turks."

"Since you can see clearly, why are you so active?" Zhao Gong's face was full of worry.

The prince was deposed and the Tang Dynasty was in turmoil.

No matter what, the person who caused the prince to be deposed will inevitably suffer huge backlash.

Over the years, those who had bet on the prince would put all their resentment and dissatisfaction on Li Xuan once they failed.

In that case, Li Xuan would be in danger.

……

"Uncle, you have ignored one person, the most important person here." Li Xuan looked up at the flashing car curtain and said softly: "Your Majesty, it is Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the one who makes all decisions in the world. His Majesty asked his nephew to investigate, can he not investigate? As for the prince..."

Li Xuan smiled lightly and said, "Uncle, why do you think His Majesty had to transfer my nephew back from Changzhou?"

Zhao Gong was slightly startled.
