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

Chapter 1108. Have a good night’s sleep (Wish everyone a Merry Christmas)

Five clouds welcome the dawn, and all blessings gather in the new year.

The dragon sings at the spring dawn.

The thick ink is picked lightly, and the pen moves like a dragon or a snake.

Li Xuan stopped writing with her right hand, looked at Li Zhu aside and said, "Hang this couplet at the entrance of the east courtyard."

"Yes!" Li Zhu walked quickly towards the door. After taking just two steps, he saw Liu Jinyu appearing at the door. He quickly bowed: "Princess."

"Go and get busy." Liu Jinyu waved her hand, Li Zhu lowered his body, then turned and left.

Looking up at Li Xuan who was writing the word "Fu" there, Liu Jinyu said helplessly: "Husband, Your Majesty asked you to recharge your batteries at home, but why have you never held a sword since you came home?"

"It's useless to practice swordsmanship, because tomorrow's competition will never be a sword." Li Xuan raised his head and glanced at Liu Jinyu, and then said with emotion: "Yes, tomorrow is the great dynasty."

It’s already New Year’s Eve.

"What, my husband has news about the Turks?" Liu Jinyu walked to Li Xuan and her eyes fell on other documents on the desk.

These days, the Secret Guard, Qianniu Guard, and Jinwu Guard have received a lot of news about the Turks, and they have conducted detailed inspections of Li Xuan's possible opponents.

The news that came back was all kinds of, but Liu Jinyu analyzed it carefully and found that almost none of it was useful.

Li Xuan put down the brush, then took out a piece of paper from under the inkstone and handed it over.

"Ashina Gu Dulu." Liu Jinyu glanced at him and then asked: "Husband, is this person your opponent tomorrow?"

"No, it's his personal guard leader, Ashina Yuangui." Li Xuan shook his head gently and said: "These days, whenever Ashina Gu Dulu appears next to Ashina Wenfu At that time, the Turks always subconsciously added more guards, and after Ashina Gudulu left, the Tubo people began to gather in groups again to discuss."

"So, he is the real rising hero on the grassland." Liu Jinyu's expression became serious, even with a hint of murderous intent.

"Maybe." Li Xuan waved her hand and said, "Ashina Gudulu, the leader of the Turkic Relic Yuanying Tribe, is hereditary Tutunchu. He has a younger brother named Ashina Mochu."

Li Xuan's eyes fell on the note, which was particularly eye-catching at this time.

Ashina Gudulu, Li Xuan had never heard of his name, but he still had an impression of the name Ashina Mochu, Turk Mochu Khan.

Of course, it is just the impression of a name, but those who can leave a little impression in his mind are not simple figures in history.

Not to mention, he still sipped Khan silently.

If he really comes to Chang'an this time, maybe Li Xuan will really kill him.

But unfortunately, he did not come. He stayed in the grassland and did not come to Chang'an.

Li Xuan suddenly lost interest.

But knowing the details of the Turks, as long as Li Xuan takes action, he can go straight to Huanglong and completely pacify the Turks in one fell swoop.

"Now the eyes of the court are all on Ashina Wen Fu and Ashina Nishugui, and not much attention is paid to this real grassland lord." Li Xuan shook her head and said: "In other words, now the court is My eyes fell on the Ashina tribe, and I didn’t pay much attention to the relic Yuanyingbu, and we can’t take this thing out.”

The source of this information cannot be disclosed to the outside world.

Nowadays, even the secret guards in the court are unable to find out the details of the Turks, but Li Xuan has already done it.

If the news really spreads, the attention of the Central Government will be on Li Xuan.

……

Taking the note, Li Xuan threw it directly into the stove.

Looking at the flames that rose up quickly and then fell quickly, Li Xuan said softly: "You can see the result tomorrow."

Liu Jinyu nodded slightly. Tomorrow Ashina Yuangui, Ashina Gudulu's guard, would compete with Li Xuan, so Ashina Gudulu naturally couldn't hide.

There wasn't much information about Ashina Yuangui in the note just now.

But Liu Jinyu believed that with this name, the Black Kings would be able to get more information.

The Turks were guarding against the Tang people, but they did not guard against the Tuyuhun people.

"By the way, there was news from the palace just now that there is no need to enter the palace tonight. You can just spend time at your own home." Liu Jinyu picked up the ink ingot and helped Li Xuan polish the ink.

In the past few years, on New Year's Eve, relatives of various royal families would enter the palace, and the emperor would give them banquets.

But this year the emperor doesn't have to.

"It's rare that the palace understands us. Xia'er and Zhao'er don't have to suffer too much." Liu Jinyu sighed helplessly.

Every time they enter the palace, it is a kind of torture for children like Xia'er and Zhaoer, who are only two or three years old.

"Is Dong Palace also spending time in his own palace this year?" Li Xuan raised her head and glanced at Liu Jinyu.

The strange expression made Liu Jinyu's hair stand on end.

She immediately remembered that Li Xuan once said that for Li Xian, one of the most suitable opportunities was at the beginning of the new year.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, so I won't sleep all night, but by tomorrow morning, people will feel sleepy.

Coupled with the laxity during the New Year, it is easy for others to take advantage of you.

Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan with an ugly face and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Lang is saying that His Majesty is on guard..."

Li Xuan waved her hand, stopped Liu Jinyu's words, and said calmly: "Only by doing some things in advance can we prevent some people from taking risks, especially at this time."

"At this time." Liu Jinyu was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "Turks?"

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded directly, without any hesitation, and with terrifying decisiveness.

……

"A few days ago, the prince returned to the capital. His focus was mainly on recommending Huangfu Gong to be appointed as Huangmen's Minister, and above the third rank of Tongzhongshu. He was occasionally busy with the finishing work of cleaning up the hidden fields in Henan Province, but the growing tension in the entire court became more and more serious. I don't care much about the Turkic incident." Li Xuan raised her head, looked at the door with cold eyes, and said coldly: "He is deliberately avoiding suspicion."

"It's not a bad thing at all to avoid suspicion. Didn't your husband suspect that the prince had the intention to take advantage of the Turks from the beginning?" Liu Jinyu calmed down and looked at Li Xuan seriously.

"He went too far." Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said: "The prince should have been concerned about the Turks coming to court, and then proposed to His Majesty a strategy for dealing with the Turks. It doesn't matter whether they have it or not. The important thing is to Be ruthless, the more ruthless you are to the Turks, the better... My husband can think of this kind of thing, why can't he think of it."

There are so many talented ministers in the East Palace. It is impossible not to make useful suggestions to Li Xian at this time, but Li Xian did not choose them.

Recalling what Yuchi Xunyu asked a few days ago, Li Xian's thoughts are clearly visible.

Li Xian wanted to take advantage of the Turks, but at this time, he was afraid that he would have to reach a tacit understanding with the Turks.

This tacit understanding is so deep that it even connects them.     It would be an absolute disaster if Li Xian and the Turks were to get in touch with each other and do something to the Tang Dynasty.

"The Turks brought more than two hundred people this time, right?" Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan with an ugly expression.

"That was just the beginning." Li Xuan sighed softly and said: "The secret guards reported that the Turks have close contacts with the local Turks in Huaiyuanfang. At this time, they can use at least hundreds or thousands of manpower. Qianniu Guards, Jinwu Guards, and left and right guards are all surrounding at the same time."

Liu Jinyu lowered her head and fell silent. The situation changed much faster than she imagined.

And as time goes by, the Turks will be able to use more and more manpower in Chang'an.

At that time, the East Palace will not need to recruit any ambitious people. These Turks alone are enough for him to cause chaos in Chang'an City.

No wonder the emperor didn't even bother summoning the kings to the palace this year.

"People outside thought it was because of my husband, but now the news that my husband and the Turks were fighting has spread so widely." Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Now the news that the Turks are going to fight him tomorrow has spread widely. He and the Turks have been raised very high, and one of them will surely fall down tomorrow.

He fell to pieces.

"Forget it, I don't want to think too much." Li Xuan looked out the door and said softly: "Tonight, we will have a good New Year at our own home with our family."

"Yes!" Liu Jinyu nodded, and then said: "All the gifts that should be sent to each government this year have been sent, and those from the palace must be sent immediately. Is there anything you want to fill in, husband?"

"Write a poem." Li Xuan shook her head, took the red paper, and wrote a poem directly on it.

Sweep the hut away from the hustle and bustle, and worship the sky with a stick of fragrance.

All things welcome the spring and send off the remaining wax, and the year ends tonight.

Make a pot of fire and roar the bamboo, keep the rice cooker open and listen to the singing of pepper.

The wild traveler predicts that farming will be good, and that the auspicious snow of three winters has not yet completely disappeared.

……

Drinking wine, children playing.

Firecrackers explode and the New Year hits our faces.

Li Xuan was sitting in front of the door holding a wine glass. Liu Jinyu, Qu Dou'er, and Pei Shitong were all playing with Xia'er and Zhao'er.

Qu Dou'er and Xia'er were more playful, while Pei Shitong preferred the younger Zhao'er.

Li Xuan's mood was surprisingly calm, and she drank one glass of wine after another.

Tomorrow is another day of New Year's Eve.

This day will definitely not be peaceful.

Just like this year is not going to be quiet either.

Although Li Xuan stayed at home and did not go out these ten days, everything inside and outside was in his mind.

Crown Prince, King of England, King of Prime Minister, Liubu, Jiushi, Qianniu Guard, Jinwu Guard, Secret Guard, Turks, Left and Right Guards, Chang'an and Luoyang.

Changzhou, Jiangnan.

All the information kept flowing into his hands.

I’m also keeping every detail of next year in mind.

Li Xuan raised her head and looked in the direction of the palace.

He believed that Li Zhi, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, was the same. With a single glance, he had the whole world in his palm.

Have a good night's sleep.

……

The fourth year of Yifeng is the first day of the first lunar month. Mao Shizheng, Zhuque Street.

Under the night sky, the long street is bright.

King Wu stands on both sides, and red lights hang high on both sides.

Li Xuan wore a purple robe with nine pythons and nine chapters as a prince, with an eight-sided Han sword hanging on his waist, and rode slowly among the kings.

King Han, King Huo, King Jiang and other clan princes walked in front, followed by King Zheng Li Jing, King Li Xuan of Nanchang and others, followed closely by King Han's eldest son Li Na, King Huo's eldest son Li Xu and others.

Countless officials walked out of various streets and merged into the crowd.

They were densely packed, like a river of people, slowly and orderly heading towards the Zhuque Gate.

Under the Zhuque Gate, the officials stopped.

The flags are fluttering, and there are many swords and swords.

Fang Xianzhong, the general of the Jinwu Guard on the left, and Xue Guwu, the general of the Jinwu Guard on the right, stood on both sides of the palace gate.

Li Xuan glanced at the twenty-four Turkic chiefs among the foreign ministers, then walked out under countless gazes, bowed slightly to Han Wang Li Yuanjia, and then walked towards the palace entrance.

From behind Fang Xianzhong walked into the countless Jinwu Guards. The flags were covered, and the stunned ministers lost sight of Li Xuan for a while.

The next moment, the flag waved, and Li Xuan had already walked out from among the officials.

At this moment, the purple python robe he was wearing had disappeared, and he was wearing red clothes and golden armor, and calmly walked into the generals on the right.

Finally, he stood beside the right guard general Gao Zhenxing.

Before the ministers could react, "Dong, dong, dong!" The drum sounded and the palace door opened wide.

"On the first day of the first lunar month, the emperor comes to court early and all the ministers congratulate him."

As the chamberlain shouted, countless ministers held their hands, and then walked forward until they entered the Tai Chi Hall.

Ashina Gudulu's eyes have been locked on Li Xuan.

I don't know why, but his breathing has become heavy. He has a very bad premonition about today's events.
