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

Chapter 1087: Who falls into the emperor’s plan?

Seeing Li Xuan slowly exiting the Zichen Palace, the emperor's expression softened slightly.

The atmosphere in the entire hall also became much more relaxed invisibly.

"It would be great if everything could be handled as appropriately as the King of Nanchang handled Li Jingye's affairs." Li Zhi said with emotion.

"Yes, a dead body without a whole body leaves enough room for all disposals." Empress Wu couldn't help but admire it in her heart.

A dead body without a complete body, plus a descending order from Lingyan Pavilion, gave everyone enough satisfaction to stop, and also made the emperor handle these matters more easily.

"Over at Huashan, is it confirmed that the person who died is Li Jingye?" Li Zhi looked serious.

"It's him." Empress Wu nodded and said, "I used two substitutes, but I was still found out in the end."

"Just die." Li Zhi's expression suddenly became indifferent.

"The order was passed to supervise the censor Wei Siwen for spying on secrets. He was dismissed from all positions and exiled to Yazhou; Xu Xinyi, the guard general of the left prison gate, leaked forbidden secrets and was beheaded; Guo Ke, the prime minister of Henan County, made mistakes in handling the affairs of the Turkic people and was beheaded. ; Cao, the governor of Yangzhou, joined the army in Shenzhuang, used his official position to do business, was dismissed from office, and was exiled to Zhenzhou; the magistrate of Huayin..."

A series of names came out of the emperor's mouth. These people were not in high positions, officials of the fifth and sixth grades, but all of them were either beheaded or exiled for three thousand miles.

Empress Wu's expression became solemn. After Li Zhi finished speaking, she looked behind the curtain.

A Toneri stood up quickly and walked out.

Li Zhi gently knocked on the desk and said: "The Weinan County Wei Hao Xiangxian of Yongzhou is transferred to the position of Supervisory Censor, and the Supervisory Censor Yao Chong is transferred to the position of Henan County Magistrate. He is transferred to..."

Hao Xiangxian is the direct grandson of Zhongshu Ling Hao Chujun, and Yao Chong is a talent recommended by Li Xuan and brought out by Di Renjie.

One comes back from the local experience and is placed in the center, and the other is transferred from the center to experience the local area.

The county magistrate of Henan is an official of the fifth rank, the county magistrate of Henan is an official of the seventh rank, the supervisory censor is an official of the eighth rank, and the county captain of Weinan is an official of the ninth rank.

Empress Wu nodded gently. The emperor was wrapping up the events of the past few years, and at the same time paving the way for things to come.

……

Li Zhi turned sideways, looked at Empress Wu, and asked, "Did you find anything else on the Huashan side?"

Empress Wu shook her head slightly and said in a low voice: "Li Jingye seemed to be really planning to sneak into Chang'an as a Huashan Taoist priest, so he didn't bring anything with him. The secret guards searched the secret room and the entire Huashan Mountain, but found nothing. Maybe he is hiding somewhere else."

"Master Xuanxuan from Huashan still needs to be comforted. If it is normal, I can't say that I will really let Master Louguandao stay in the palace to teach him personally. Then he will have a chance." Li Zhi said with cold eyes. Get chilly.

Empress Wu was sitting nearby, and she heard clearly that the emperor's change of attitude started with the words "palace".

"By the way, is there anything gained in Hengshui?" Li Zhi changed his question and then asked.

Empress Wu nodded and said: "Kong Zhiliang died in February. Someone noticed something going on in March, but did not investigate it carefully. It is believed that Li Jingye took action at that time."

"That will be in January, so everything is right." Li Zhi nodded.

"Yes!" Empress Wu nodded slightly and said, "Ming Qing disappeared in Handan, maybe in the Taihang Mountains... maybe he was seriously injured, maybe he has passed away."

"Continue to investigate, everything must have a result." Li Zhi sighed with emotion, why is there another dead body without any body parts.

"Yes!" Empress Wu did not expect this, nor did she realize that she was only one step away from the truth, but unfortunately, she was led astray.

"According to the decree, the prince's right guard and Sima Wei Chi Xunyu are transferred to the left prison gate guard general, and the prince's Si Yilang Wei Chengqing is transferred to the governor of Yangzhou to join the army." After a slight pause, Li Zhi said: "There is something wrong with Henan Road. If it’s too slow, tell Xian’er to speed up the process.”

"Yes!" Empress Wu nodded seriously.

Yuchi Xunyu and Wei Chengqing were both close confidants of the prince.

The emperor transferred these two people out of the East Palace and promoted them to other positions, seemingly to care for and comfort the prince.

But Li Xian kept running around the East Palace during these days, and Yuchi Xunyu had some feelings for Li Xian in the past, and they are closer now.

Although Wei Chengqing and Wei Xiang'er, the concubine of the King of England, are of the same race, Wei Chengqing was born in the Wei family's Xiaoxiaoyao public house, while Wei Xiang'er was born in the Wei family's concubine's public house, so the relationship is not very close.

But after all, it is the word Wei.

Just like Pei Yan, Pei Xingjian and Pei Guangxiao, they were all born into the Pei family, but they were also from different third-bedroom families.

The meaning of this is difficult to explain clearly at the moment.

"Let Xue Qing prepare to return to Daizhou within five days and send troops to Mobei within half a month." Li Zhi's expression turned cold.

"Yes!" Empress Wu also became serious.

In fact, some time ago, the biggest threat to the storm in Beijing was the Turks.

Li Jingye and other threats were all within the emperor's control. Only the Turks outside the Great Wall were the real threat.

Li Zhi pondered for a moment, and then said: "Since there is no harvest in Huashan, I will send people to Yangzhou for further investigation. I will be promoted to Xinlin Mansion in Yangzhou, Zhechong Duwei Shijin, and serve as the Zhonglang General of Youjinwu Guard. He will return to Yangzhou to investigate everything. The Yangzhou Guard under his command is temporarily under the command of General Li Jinxing, the right-leading army guard, to prepare for the expedition to Luoche in the following year."

Empress Wu nodded and said: "There should be no problem for the King of Nanchang to capture Supi this year. He should indeed prepare for the march to Luocheng."

"At that time, the right leading military guard, the left Xiaowei, and the right garrison guard will all be mobilized. The battle to destroy the country cannot be ignored." Li Zhi looked solemn. Before the war to destroy the country is fought, all hidden dangers must be properly dealt with.

"Yes!" Empress Wu nodded slightly, with a solemn expression. It is true that all hidden dangers must be dealt with properly, but there must be no chaos.

The Tubo and the Turks are fighting against each other, and there can be no problems in any aspect.

……

Li Xuan left Daming Palace and returned to the palace with Li Zhu and several other palace guards.

The left and right Jinwu guards who met along the way bowed slightly when they saw Li Xuan.

Li Xuan smiled softly and walked towards Kaihuafang.

At this moment, a dozen Qianniu Guards rode past Li Xuan with solemn expressions.

Looking at the packages on their backs, Li Xuan looked solemn.

Going to kill someone.

He lowered his head and continued moving forward. Soon, Li Xuan returned to Kaihuafang.

When she got home, looking at Liu Jinyu with a sneer on her face... the imperial edict she was holding in her hand, and Qu Dou'er who was snickering cautiously, Li Xuan immediately felt a numb scalp.

But he was still forced to go forward...

After midnight, Liu Jinyu leaned gently on Li Xuan's arms and complained in a low voice: "Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven have nothing to reward. They always send people to the mansion. Is it possible that in the future, there will be people in the mansion who are controlled by the emperor and the queen?" Are the women sent by the Queen of Heaven full?”

"If you don't give women, you have to give them titles. If you give them too much, you really have to be careful about your master's achievements." Li Xuan hugged Liu Jinyu's smooth back with a complicated expression.

"Don't scare me." Liu Jinyu pinched Li Xuan's waist hard, and then said: "You are just a governor of Zhongzhou now, and above you are the governor of Shangzhou, the Sima of the governor's office, the six ministers, the prime minister, Sikong, Taiwei..."

"If you can't even serve as a minister and husband, how can you have the role of prime minister, Sikong, and Taiwei." Li Xuan shook her head and smiled softly.

If nothing earth-shattering happened and changed the entire structure of the Tang Dynasty, then all Li Xuan could do was to fight all the way to Luozhe, then to the Western Regions, and from the Western Regions to Central Asia.

Be a real king of Central Asia.

However, with Empress Wu in the court, he had to leave for many things.

"This time, the matter is over. Lang Jun has done so much. Shouldn't there be no more trouble with the Turks in three or two years?" Liu Jinyu raised her head and looked at Li Xuan with a worried face.

"Madam, you have asked it yourself, do you still want to say it for your husband?" Li Xuan gently stroked Liu Jinyu's hair and couldn't help but shook her head slightly: "Although the Turks in Chang'an and Luoyang have temporarily stabilized, they In total, there are only one-tenth of the Turkic people in the world, and the key is still in the south and north of the desert."

After a slight pause, Li Xuan said in a deep voice: "Especially in Monan. The Turks in Monan are the main force. They have the most cattle and sheep, and the strongest warriors. But for many years, they have been paying taxes to the Tang Dynasty. Maybe they are close to The tribes on the Great Wall have become accustomed to this kind of life, but the tribes far away from the Great Wall are still difficult to tame, especially after the defeat of Dafeichuan."

A defeat at Dafeichuan made the Turks see the weakness of the Tang Dynasty.

"Turkish people are actually quite disgusted with the unified tax collection by the imperial court. They demarcate areas and graze their cattle separately. It seems stable and harmonious, but in fact there are more and less. The more there is, the less there is. Inequity still exists. If we were in the Tang Dynasty, there would be many restrictions and controls, but not on the grassland, where people naturally like to use swords and guns to decide everything."

"Just like Jie Li back then." Liu Jinyu understood a little.

"Well!" Li Xuan looked at the bed in front of him and said softly: "Jieli was also a tyrant back then, and he even attacked the city of Chang'an. But unfortunately, Zhao Deyan suggested that he follow the example of the Central Plains dynasty in ruling the grassland. How ridiculous. In the end, he I became a prisoner and danced for the officials of the Tang Dynasty in the Taiji Palace, but now that I think about it, I used the same method to manage the grassland, but the methods were much lighter, but the essence remains the same."

"The defeat of Dafeichuan broke out their ambitions that had been suppressed for a long time, right?" Liu Jinyu completely understood.

"That's right." Li Xuan took a breath and said: "When the late emperor was here, no one dared to touch the emperor even if Goguryeo was defeated. Today, the Tang Dynasty is always victorious and invincible, and no one dares to take advantage of it." Xu, until the defeat of Dafeichuan, followed by several years of protracted wars by Silla, the death of Emperor Filial Piety, the Tianyin Sect's rebellion, Tubo was in danger of falling into the quagmire, and the Tang Dynasty was worried about deposing the crown prince, and Li Jingye was again If they are linked to each other, it would be strange for the Turks not to be moved."

"Wait a minute, what does this mean?"

"Li Jingye is the grandson of the British Duke. He has a substitute. So when the substitute is in Liuzhou, where is he? There is also the prince, the prince..."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Liu Jinyu grabbed Li Xuan's shoulders, stared at him and asked, "What does it mean that Tubo is in danger of falling into the quagmire?"

"That's what it means on the surface." Li Xuan hugged Liu Jinyu upwards, and then said: "It's easy to get off Su Pi, and it's not difficult to follow the sheep. What's difficult is to actually enter Tubo itself, where they are all Tubo people. They are not affiliated ethnic groups like the Yangtongsupi Tuyuhun. They are all the Tubo tribe. They can easily form a hundred thousand elite Tibetan warriors. Even when the country is subjugated, this number can be doubled. It is not easy to exterminate such a country. ,"

"Then why, what the court heard were all relaxed words?" Liu Jinyu couldn't help but frown.

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Li Xuan leaned slightly on the soft pillow and said softly: "In this way, if someone in the court really wants to change generals on the spot, my husband might as well sit back and watch the wind and rain. Okay?"

"What are you worried about?" Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan in surprise and said, "Don't you need to be in charge of destroying Tubo in the imperial court?"

"Who knows, just like what you just said, what if the merit is too high to be achieved? Just do less merit." Li Xuan smiled lightly.

"No, you are scheming." Liu Jinyu suddenly reacted and looked up at Li Xuan.

"Who knows, everything is planned for a rainy day." Li Xuan's eyes became slightly faint.

The emperor's thoughts are the most difficult to fathom during life and death.
