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

Chapter 1143 Li Xian was "poisoned"

The window paper turned white, and Li Xian suddenly opened his eyes.

Looking at the couch frame above, Li Xian breathed lightly.

Today, he will return to Chang'an.

After returning to Chang'an, he will be completely imprisoned. After the new prince takes over the East Palace, he will be exiled.

Li Xian himself didn't care, but he still had his eldest son who was less than three years old, and his wife who was eight months pregnant.

He must stay in Chang'an and must be treated well.

Li Xian took out half a grain of poison hidden in the lining and swallowed it without any hesitation.

Only half a grain of poison.

Li Xian believed that the medicine would not work so quickly.

On this point, he believed Li Xuan.

Especially Li Xuan's medical attainments.

On one thing, Li Xian admitted that Li Xuan was right.

It is true that he was no longer filial to the emperor when he was King Yong.

When he was King Yong, he searched everywhere for prescriptions in the hope that his father would be in good health, but after becoming the prince, this thought disappeared a lot.

Even disappear completely in the end.

Which prince wants his father to live a long life?

But to be honest, he was really wrong.

If he still cares about his father's health after becoming the prince, then there won't be such a deep gap between him and his father.

Maybe, when Ming Chongyan released the news, as long as he appeared close to his father, all the rumors would be self-defeating...

A rush of footsteps sounded outside the hall.

Li Xian looked up. It wasn't even 10 o'clock yet, but the guards who came to pick him up from outside had already arrived.

Return to Chang'an from Luoyang.

Although there is no way to go, if tens of thousands of people move together, the speed will not be fast at all.

Therefore, we must set off at dawn.

This has been a routine every year.

Li Xian felt the power of the medicine in his body gradually dissipate, and then stood up, walked to the clothes rack, and put on a bright yellow Jiu Python Jiuzhang Prince uniform.

There was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of Li Xian's mouth.

Now he has been deposed as a prince, but this princely uniform is still left here for him and has not been taken away.

It's nothing more than giving themselves some face.

Li Xian's eyes immediately turned cold, and then he dressed himself and put on the entire dress.

At this time, Li Xian suddenly felt a little weak.

Immediately, he smiled from the corners of his eyes.

This is the effect of the medicine.

With a "squeak" sound, the door was opened.

He Wei, the general of the Qianniu Guard on the left, and Li Dazhi, the general of the Jinwu Guard on the right, all stood solemnly at the gate of the palace.

Li Xian walked out of the palace and immediately saw Linghu Zhitong, the commander-in-chief of the right prison gate, standing behind the two men, as well as dozens of guards from the right prison gate.

Li Xian immediately understood that the person escorting him back to Chang'an today should be Linghu Zhitong's right prison guard.

"Your Highness!" Linghu Zhitong moved slightly out of the way, and a carriage appeared in Li Xian's sight.

"Let's go." Li Xian nodded calmly. He did not correct Linghu Zhitong's wrong address and walked directly into the carriage calmly.

Immediately, the carriage slowly drove out of the East Palace.

The guards from the right prison gate followed, but the left Qianniu guards and the right Jinwu guards all stayed in the East Palace.

……

Li Xuan was wearing a black robe with gold silk, and then led Li Zhu and other guards at home out of Jade Dragon Garden on a tall black horse.

As soon as they went out, hundreds of Qianniu Guards were already standing silently on both sides of the courtyard gate, and they raised their hands at the same time: "Commander!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, then looked to the right.

The gate of Lecheng County Government Office on the right opened at the same time, followed closely by a tall mahogany carriage driving out.

Liu Yuanlang followed the horse, followed by a group of Qianniu Guards soldiers on the left and right.

A group of people passed in front of Li Xuan. Liu Rengui opened the car curtain and nodded to Li Xuan, who nodded in return.

Soon, Liu Rengui and his party had already passed by.

At this time, Li Xuan got on his horse and followed Liu Rengui towards the Dingding Gate.

This is not the time to talk.

If nothing happens, nothing happens. If something happens, there will inevitably be trouble.

When entering Dingdingmen Street, Li Xuan couldn't help but glance in the direction of the palace.

The emperor and Empress Wu had already boarded the ship at Tianjin Bridge, but Li Xuan and the others had to go out from Dingding Gate and board the ship at Xiyuan Wharf...

Li Xian should have boarded the ship by now.

If Li Xian and Li Xuan have enough tacit understanding, then the effect of Li Xian's medicine will explode the moment he leaves the city.

Immediately, Li Xuan's chess pieces in Chang'an and Luoyang will be activated, and countless people will spread the rumor that Empress Wu will kill her own children again.

Doing so will definitely anger Empress Wu completely, and she will use all means to find out the truth of the matter.

Although Li Xuan had arranged a backup plan, if Empress Wu really caught her by the tail, even Li Xuan would inevitably have to shed her skin.

…    On the Xiyuan Pier, four people, Han Wang Li Yuanjia, Teng Wang Li Yuanying, Zheng Wang Li Jing, and Li Xuan, boarded the same official ship.

Liu Rengui and others were on other ships.

The northeast wind blew and the ship moved slowly.

In the cabin, Prince Teng Li Yuanying, who was sitting a few steps behind, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and said, "Things have finally come to an end...Brother Wang, how is the situation in Dingzhou now?"

Li Yuanjia, who was sitting in the deepest seat, rolled his eyes at Li Yuanying angrily. This guy almost caused trouble by speaking out again.

Li Yuanjia shook his head, and then said: "Ever since the Turks sent cavalry to attack the Shanyu Protector's Mansion and were repelled, the Turks' troops dispersed in all directions. Ashina Nishugo hid in Mobei again. It is difficult for an army to have a target... Twenty-seventh Lang, if it were you, how would you respond?"

"Bait, trap." Li Xuan turned around casually and said: "The Governor's Mansion of Northern Jiangsu and the Governor's Mansion of Chanyu are the targets that the Turks most want to eradicate... Send an army to lurk deeply, and then start transporting them in batches from the Great Wall Every time there were more food and soldiers than the Turkic attackers, it wouldn’t be long before they couldn’t bear it any longer.”

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he saw Li Yuanjia, Li Yuanying and others looking at him in surprise. He subconsciously asked: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing?" Li Yuanjia shook his head and said: "Uncle Wang just forgot that you have now become the military commander. If it hadn't been for the prince's incident, you should have fought against Lun Qinling in Tanggula Mountain. Moreover, he was You suppressed it very well."

Li Xuan shook his head: "Wenxi County Duke is here to deal with the Turks. Even if the Turks can take some advantage on the grassland for a short time, over time, their details will be caught by Wenxi County Duke. After a while, Internally, it will not become Datang’s thorn in the side.”

"You mean, there's no way to completely solve the Turkic issue?" Li Yuanjia immediately heard the hidden meaning in Li Xuan's words.

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he held up his hands and said with a bitter smile: "My nephew was negligent. Uncle Wang was called a fairy boy when he was young. Naturally, these things cannot be hidden from Uncle Wang's eyes."

Li Yuanjia was a smart young man. He could draw circles with his left hand and squares with his right hand. He could recite scriptures and history orally, count sheep with his eyes, and composed a forty-cross poem. He wrote it in five words and one poem: Six things in one, codenamed "Fairy Boy" ".

His wife is Fang, the daughter of Prime Minister Fang Xuanling.

This time, the emperor called Li Yuanjia back to Chang'an not only because he was the head of the clan, but also because of his relationship with the Fang family.

However, even Fang Xianzhong didn't make any move regarding Li Xian's matter, let alone Li Yuanjia, who was more closely related.

"These are ridiculous things of a young man, nothing to mention." Li Yuanjia looked at Li Xuan calmly and said: "Don't change the subject, are you sure about the Tubo thing... Once the Turks start a war, the support of the DPRK and the Tibetans will be It’s going down, not just this year but in the years to come.”

Li Xuan nodded lightly and said: "The court has already prepared for this matter. Su Bi and Yangtong have all discovered gold mines and turned them into grain and grass purchases... Our Tang Dynasty is short of gold and silver, but there is no shortage of grain and grass. It's nothing more than a war between the north and the south, and some people are hoarding it. When the time comes, set a upper limit, and those who exceed the limit will be treated as if they harmed the army and secretly aided the Turks, which is a crime of great treason."

"Brother Wang, you see, you can say a big treason and a crime so easily." Prince Teng Li Yuanying looked at Li Yuanjia with some humor and said with emotion: "Twenty-seventh Lang is really experienced..."

"Ah~" A harsh female scream suddenly came from the imperial ship in front.

Li Xuan suddenly became excited and suddenly looked forward.

Li Yuanjia and others also turned pale and poked their heads out at the same time.

On both sides of the official ship, four fast boats were already rushing forward carrying dozens of Qianniu Guards, looking very nervous.

On both sides of the shore, dozens of Jinwu Guards cavalry were also moving forward at great speed, even faster than on the ship.

On the official road in the distance, the officials and people of Luoyang who came to see him off had not yet returned home. When they saw the change, they immediately stopped.

Some people have even asked Pegasus.

The clipper stopped on the third royal ship at the front, and several Qianniu Guards immediately boarded the ship. Also on board was the imperial physician Li Qianzong.

Li Xuan's eyes darkened slightly, and he immediately understood that the poison in Li Xian's body had taken effect.

Although it was a little later than the perfect one he expected, it was still timely.

"Everyone, please don't act rashly and obey the emperor's order." Han Wang Li Yuanjia immediately turned around and looked at his nephew on the boat with a serious expression.

Everyone immediately raised their hands and said: "Here!"

……

Li Xuan glanced at the entire fleet. Except for a few servants delivering orders, the royal ship at the front did not make any other unnecessary movements.

Apart from the actions of the Thousand Oxen Guards, everyone else in the fleet also became quiet one after another.

Even soon, the boat trip started again.

Li Xuan frowned slightly, wondering in her heart that the poison on Li Xian's body should not be so easy to remove.

Sure enough, just as the boat trip started, a speedboat had already stopped under their boat.

"What's the matter?" Han Wang Li Yuanjia leaned out directly.

The Qianniu Guard below has already handed over his hand: "General Linghu Zhonglang, the guard of the right prison, invites the King of Nanchang to go and diagnose the prince's illness."

Li Yuanjia immediately turned around and looked at Li Xuan. Li Xuan solemnly handed over his hand and said, "My nephew, go ahead now."

Li Yuanjia nodded slightly, then watched Li Xuan get off the boat neatly, and then left quickly.

At this moment, Teng Wang Li Yuanying came over and asked in a low voice: "Brother Wang, what's going on?"

"What's going on? Do you think it's okay?" Li Yuanjia gave Li Yuanying a deep look, and Li Yuanying immediately stepped back.

Li Yuanjia visited the front again. He knew that Li Xian's matter might not be that simple.

Although the emperor had done everything lightly before, and most people thought it was nothing, they knew from the sudden call to Li Xuan that Li Xian had done something serious.

But no matter what, Li Xian was deposed after all. No matter how many things happened to him, these officials in the court would pretend they didn't see it.

……

In the cabin, as soon as Li Xuan entered, a fishy smell immediately hit his nose.

A pool of black blood was spat directly on the deck, and the guards around him stood far away.

The only two waitresses stood in the corner, their faces pale and trembling.

Just now they were ordered to serve Li Xian, and Li Xian suddenly vomited blood.

Imperial physician Li Qianzong was left on the couch, and Li Xian was lying in front of him, his face turned black, and the blood stains from the corners of his mouth were spattered all the way to the bottom of the bed.

Li Qian held the silver needle in his hand and slowly pierced Li Xian's chest.

The flow of black air on Li Xian's face suddenly slowed down. Li Qianzong breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Li Xuan who came in, and asked a little tiredly: "Your Majesty, do you still have the heart-saving medicine?"

"Yes!" Li Xuan took out the celadon medicine bottle from her arms in a panic, and then handed it forward.

Li Qianzong shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, come and help the prince give the medicine. By the way, let's see what kind of poison it is."
