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

Chapter 1119 How can it be so easy to dethrone the prince?

On the first day of March, west of Xinghai City.

Hundreds of tall horses galloped along the city road towards the Governor's Mansion.

In front of the Governor's Mansion, Li Xuan, dressed in black clothes and armor, walked into the Governor's Mansion with a stern expression.

Yao Yi was already waiting in front of the official residence. When he saw Li Xuan coming back, he quickly handed over the official document: "Your Majesty, there is a letter from the court, the East Palace is pregnant, the British concubine is pregnant, the Prime Minister is pregnant, and the Nanchang Princess is pregnant. , the ancestors will be succeeded, and the world will be prosperous and stable."

"This is a long-standing problem." Li Xuan took the official document and glanced at it, then he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to Cui Ding behind him: "I am sending you an order from the king to recruit the sergeants of the navy tonight, and each of them will have a jug of wine. Take the account from Nanchang Prince's Mansion to celebrate the success of the clan and the success of the world."

"Here!" Cui Ding immediately turned around and headed out of the city.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to Yao Yi, and said, "Uncle Shi, please sit down. You all should go and have a rest. If you need to relax, just relax."

"Here!" A group of guards outside the official residence immediately handed over their hands, and then went to Anle.

Today's Xinghai City has long been dominated by Li Xuan.

The Tuyuhun people account for half of the population, and the rest are Han Chinese, Dangxiang and Turks who migrated from other places.

Most of the businessmen who come from outside to do business live in the south of the city. Whenever outsiders appear elsewhere in the city, they will be extremely conspicuous.

Speaking of which, Li Xuan would also like to thank the DPRK and China.

It was they who established the prefecture of Changzhou in Qugou. Caravans traveled between Chaka and Tyuhun, as well as Xinghai and Dangxiang. Countless outsiders moved around every day. How difficult it was to monitor them.

But everything is different in Xinghai. It is not easy for even the central government to monitor this place, let alone other interested people.

……

Sitting at the top, Li Xuan muttered: "On the New Year's Day, Your Majesty appointed Cui Zuocheng as the Minister of Huangmen, the third rank under the same family as Zhongshu, and promoted Liu Jingxian to the rank of Shangshu Zuocheng.

On the Shangyuan Festival, His Majesty appointed Liu Boying, the Minister of Honglu Temple, as the Minister of Rites, Yuanming, the governor of Hezhou, as the Minister of Honglu Temple, and Huang Rensu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the great craftsman of the inspection general, as the Minister of Industry. "

"There are a lot of changes in the court." Yao Yi sighed softly and said, "Now the Crown Princess is pregnant, the King of England's concubine is pregnant, and the Prime Minister's Princess is pregnant. I don't know if it's good or bad."

"I hope it's a good thing." Li Xuan looked at Yao Yi and said seriously: "In April, His Majesty and the Queen will patrol east to Luoyang. The wise brother of Yuan is now the county magistrate of Henan. Uncle Shi still needs a few more words of advice."

Yao Yi nodded slightly and said: "Da Lang grew up in Luoyang and is familiar with both inside and outside Luoyang. If I just write a few letters and ask others to take care of him, I should be fine."

"I hope so." Li Xuan sighed in her heart. The timing for Yao Chong to take up a post in Luoyang was indeed not very good.

But now we are catching up with Li Xian's matter. Once Li Xian really takes action, it will be difficult for Henan County not to be involved.

"Fortunately, he is just a county magistrate, not a county magistrate or a county lieutenant. Otherwise, I'm afraid he would be in big trouble by now." Yao Yi took pleasure in his misery.

Li Xuan smiled, that was indeed the case.

The Luoyang County Magistrate may have been courted again and again, and the Luoyang County Lieutenant has been targeted by countless people.

In addition, Yao Yi has served in Jinwu Guard for many years and has smooth internal and external relations. There should be no problems if he gives careful instructions.

In fact, many people in other states are watching the affairs of the DPRK.

Especially for a smart person like Yao Yi, Jin Wuwei knows so many people, and the secret news has spread to Changzhou.

"Let's put aside the Chang'an affairs for now. The most important thing now is the Supi war." Li Xuan looked solemn. Their Changzhou was thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and they would be out of reach no matter what.

All we can do now is deal with the Suvi war.

Since Li Xuan returned to Xinghai, armies from all walks of life have gathered one after another.

Just wait for a suitable time and set off immediately to go to Tongtian River.

"When does the prince plan to send troops?" Yao Yi leaned forward slightly and looked at Li Xuan with a solemn expression.

"After the water has warmed up." Li Xuan looked beyond the official residence to where Maduo was in the distance, shook his head and said: "Now that the army is in the sea, the consumption of food and grass will be reduced by one point. And once it moves forward, every day Furthermore, when the food and grass are consumed, one more portion will be added.”

"Aren't you worried about Lun Qin Ling sending troops to attack?" Yao Yi looked at Li Xuan worriedly.

"The king is hoping that he will send troops." Li Xuan sneered lightly and said, "But I'm afraid that he won't dare."

Now it seems that Li Xuan is taking the initiative to send troops to attack Qamdo, but in fact, the Tubo people have spent a lot of manpower and material resources in Qamdo.

If Li Xuan does not attack Qamdo, their food, grass and weapons will be consumed every day.

Time is already on Li Xuan's side. If Qin Ling really leads his army to leave Qamdo, the situation will definitely be better than Li Xuan's.

But unfortunately, he didn't dare.

"Military rations from various places must be collected quickly and then quickly transported to the front line." After a slight pause, Li Xuan looked at Yao Yi and said seriously: "Uncle Shi, please count the grain and grass used everywhere this year according to the maximum amount. But if there is any military ration consumption that exceeds the budget in the future, you must be careful."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know the pros and cons." Yao Yi nodded seriously.

He has been in the military for many years, so he naturally knows the special methods of some people.

When the army fights on the front line, the enemies it needs to face are not only the powerful enemies on the opposite side, but also the cold knives and spears coming from behind.

"After Xuan left Xinghai, the news from Chang'an should not be sent to Maduo before being screened." Li Xuan looked solemnly and stared at Yao Yi and said: "Xuan will communicate with the governors of Lanzhou and Shanzhou to avoid Chang'an. The wind and rain spread to the front of the army when it was not necessary."

There are many words and many things that cannot be discussed openly.

This kind of thing, whether successful or not, will cause huge waves on the front line.

Once Lun Qinling seizes the opportunity, not even Li Xuan can save him.

"I understand." Yao Yi nodded seriously.

"My nephew will send some of the state soldiers to Tongtian River. Uncle Shi will remember to recruit some more later. In addition, we will continue to work as we did last year with regard to grain, cattle and sheep from various places, and try our best to ensure another bumper harvest this winter." Li Xuan looked sideways. Yao Yi whispered: "Once the storm in Chang'an affects Changzhou, everything else may be delayed. At that time, we can only rely on ourselves."

The deposed prince, the deposed prince.

How could it be so easy to depose a prince?

Since the filial emperor Li Hong died of illness, Li Zhi placed an unknown number of senior officials around Li Xian.

It is true that Zhang Daan is the crown prince's left concubine, but Li Jingxuan is also the right concubine, Hao Chujun is the crown prince's middle concubine, Liu Rengui, and Dai Zhide all serve as guests of the crown prince.

Once something happens to the prince, if you don't pay attention, all the prime ministers will be implicated.

Not only that, the key is that this matter is likely to be related to the prime minister's attitude.

Once Li Zhi wants to depose the prince, a certain prime minister will come out to protect the prince.

At that time, the real bloody storm began.

Li Xian rebelled, and everything was just beginning.

"Once the West Tuyuhun is captured this year, Uncle Shi will force the Murong clan and ask them to choose a large piece of land to plant wheat on the grassland on the east side of the basin. At the same time, they will open up the Western Region from the West Tuyuhun and import grain from the Western Region to avoid being stuck. ." Li Xuan asked seriously.

Yao Yi leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you still think there is someone who can protect the crown prince?"

"I don't know, just in case." Li Xuan sighed softly and said, "Maybe I am looking for trouble. Well, Uncle Shi, Xuan has to go back to the backyard. There are a lot of things to do later. appease."

Yao Yi laughed, stood up and cupped his hands towards Li Xuan and said, "I haven't congratulated you yet, Your Majesty. There are still three children in the family, which is really enviable."

Li Xuan suddenly smiled bitterly, returned the favor, then turned and walked away.

Faceless to see people.

Even he didn't expect that Liu Jinyu, Qu Douer and Pei Shitong would be pregnant at the same time.

And not just them, even the Crown Princess, the King of England's concubine, and the Prime Minister's Princess were also pregnant at the same time.

This kind of thing is an absolute blessing.

But the entire Tang Dynasty was the only one that could bear this kind of blessing.

There is only the emperor.

……

As soon as Li Xuan entered the backyard, she saw Yu Ze already waiting there.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Yu."

"I heard that the princess is pregnant, and my subordinates came to congratulate the prince." Yu Ze glanced to the side. Outside the inner courtyard door behind, Liu Shubi was already looking forward to seeing her.

"Let's go to the study first." Li Xuan stretched out her hand to lead the way.

After entering the study, Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen together."

"This is a good thing. At least the turmoil in the court will subside in a short time." Yu Ze looked relaxed. The royal family had three more descendants in one go, and its cohesion would be greatly increased.

"It's hard to say." Li Xuan sighed, shook his head, and said, "This matter is only good for His Majesty alone. Even if the Prince has another heir, his subordinates will treat the Emperor's attitude more seriously. , the emperor is the most blessed person in the world... If the operation is done well, the prince can indeed turn the crisis around, but I'm afraid he can't think of it."

"How to do it?" Yu Ze was a little curious.

"The crisis for the prince was originally caused by the Queen letting people spread the rumor that the prince is not his heir. Now, as long as your majesty says that the prince's position cannot be shaken, your majesty's current influence is enough to reassure the prince." Li Xuan subconsciously looked at Chang'an. direction.

"Will Your Majesty say it?"

"If the prince drives away all his secret men, and then displays everything he has done publicly in front of the ministers, he will be selfless and worry-free." Li Xuan's eyes turned cold.

As long as Li Xian doesn't have anything to hold on to, no one can destroy him.

Especially after having three more imperial grandchildren, Li Xian's threat to the emperor was no longer that great.

As long as Li Xian slowly fades away from the threat at this time, no one can touch him.

"But the prince?" Yu Ze frowned. He knew a lot about the prince's character.

"The prince will think that if the King of England and the Prime Minister have an heir, his position will be even more shaken." Li Xuan sighed softly, waved her hands, and said: "Forget it, let's not mention the matter of Chang'an. Uncle Yu, Tongren's How are those students doing?"

"It's okay, there are still a few outstanding ones, but there's still a long way to go before they can pass the Jinshi exam." Yu Ze felt helpless.

"Let them continue to study. Next year is their best opportunity, and it is also Uncle Yu's best opportunity to take over as the governor of Changchang." Li Xuan's eyes deepened.

"Yao Changshi wasn't transferred so quickly, was he?" Yu Ze was a little surprised.

"Only within two or three years." Li Xuan shook his head and said: "If we invade the mainland of Tubo, someone will try to steal our retreat. Uncle Yu is now the magistrate of Tongren County. It has been three years, and his promotion is inevitable. Yes, but there is still no opportunity.”

"So you chose those students. As long as one of them passes the Jinshi examination, I will have a chance." Yu Ze nodded seriously. Li Xuan had mentioned this to him before.

"The merit of enlightenment is also a ladder for promotion." Li Xuan looked out the door and said softly: "If one of them can win the election next year, then Uncle Yu can be promoted to Changzhou Hucao to join the army next year. When Yao Changshi is transferred, Then there is an opportunity to compete for the history of Changzhou."

"Yeah, it's just an opportunity." Yu Ze understood the difficulty in this. He was now a seventh-rank official, Hu Caojun was a sixth-rank official, and Chang Shi was already a fifth-rank official.

The further you go, the harder it gets.
