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

Chapter 1145 Li Xuan, plotting

In autumn time, the boat travels slowly.

In two days, fast horses kept running from Chang'an and Luoyang to the imperial ship.

Li Xuan stayed with Han Wang Li Yuanjia, Teng Wang Li Yuanying and others, and did not inquire about outside news.

But from more and more express reports, Li Xuan knew that the trouble in this matter had just begun.

Unknowingly, Chang'an was already close at hand, the official ship stopped at Weinan Station, and the imperial ship went straight to the palace.

The emperor and Empress Wu entered the inner palace to settle down, while Li Xuan and other ministers returned home.

Linghu Zhitong, the guard general of the right prison gate, led a dozen of his men, followed Su Liangsi and a group of Qianniu guards, and headed towards the palace in dejection.

Li Xuan looked up and down at the other ministers, and everyone looked at this scene in surprise.

The prince was just sick, so why did he treat the guard like this?

Not to mention that now that the prince has been deposed, there is no need to target the guard...

Unless the prince is not simply sick.

Although the news was kept secret, many smart people reacted in an instant.

They looked at each other with worry in their eyes.

Li Xuan stood at the bow of the ship and saw Su Liangsi being so blatant. He immediately understood that this was a rumor that had completely spread in Chang'an and Luoyang and could no longer be controlled.

So they simply punished Linghu Zhitong to reassure the ruling and opposition parties, but in reality, things could not end that easily.

What's more, now is just the beginning.

……

In Kaihuafang, Li Xuan, King of Han Li Yuanjia, King of Teng Li Yuanying and others returned to their respective homes.

Seeing that Li Xuan had returned safely, Ouyang was relieved and took Li Xuan directly to the door: "Sanniang and the others are heavy, so my mother didn't let them out."

"My mother is considerate. My son will visit them soon." Li Xuan bowed to say hello.

Ouyang sat down in the middle hall, then looked at Li Xuan and asked: "The prince has been deposed. The next step in the court is to decide on a new prince. Recently, many people have come to visit. Although most of them refused, after all, There is still a follow-up, Dalang should pay attention."

On the Luoyang side, they are more concerned about the impact of the disturbance caused by the deposed prince, while on the Chang'an side, they will pay more attention to the various opportunities brought by the new crown prince.

But since the prince's rebellion, the Prince's Palace and the Prime Minister's Palace have been surrounded by heavy guards.

Although the crisis was later resolved, there were still many soldiers guarding them.

But even so, there are still many people who can enter the British Prince's Palace and the Prime Minister's Palace.

As for other eyes that couldn't get in, they began to focus on the courtiers who were close to the King of England and the Prime Minister.

Especially the King of England.

The first choice here is Li Xuan.

The others are Yao Lingzhang and the British concubine Webster.

Especially Webster, now she is pregnant with Li Xian's child.

If it is a boy, once Li Xian is named the prince, then her son will most likely become Li Xian's eldest son.

Mother is more valuable than her son.

Webster's being named Princess of England and Crown Princess can be seen.

In addition, the emperor had previously transferred Wei Chengqing from the East Palace.

This time the prince's rebellion did not affect Wei Chengqing at all, indicating that the emperor had been preparing for this matter a long time ago.

Just like back then, Li Xian was given the title of King Yong to train him before he became the crown prince.

Chang'an is located in Yongdi, and it has gradually become a tacit agreement for King Yong to ascend the throne to the crown prince.

The emperor's mental preparations had been started a long time ago.

This made the Wei family couldn't help but get excited.

If they can allow more children from the family to enter the center at this time, then the Wei family will most likely become the first cousin family in the Tang Dynasty in the future.

After all, the Wu family did not have many people in the court.

Of course, first of all, Li Xian must become the crown prince, and Wei Xiang'er must become the crown prince.

The Wei family might not be able to help but move.

……

Ouyang briefly talked about the current situation in Chang'an, and then looked at Li Xuan seriously: "Da Lang, my mother will remind you today."

"Mother, please speak." Li Xuan immediately stood up and listened to the instruction.

Ouyang sat there, thinking carefully and said: "You are very close to the King of England, which is a good thing and a bad thing.

The good thing is that you are valued by the King of England, and you will naturally be valued by His Majesty and the Queen. However, if your relationship with the King of England is too close, others will think that you have too deep influence on the King of England.

Not only will you worry that this will be detrimental to the King of England, but it is even very likely that if the King of England makes a mistake, you will be blamed for it. "

Li Xuan was slightly stunned. This was indeed something he had never thought about.

Li Xian was a dissolute man and it was inevitable that he would do something wrong. It was only a small thing, but what about a big thing?

What if someone deliberately instigated Li Xian to make a mistake and then blamed it on Li Xuan.

Once Li Xian becomes the prince, everything will be magnified.

Li Xuan is in charge of tens of thousands of troops in Luozhidao. Changzhou has twelve Jisi prefectures and a border prefecture in Changzhou. From a third-rank official position, the temptation is too great.

As long as Li Xuan is transferred back from the border, countless official positions will immediately fall into the hands of others.

When a whale falls, all things come into being. Under the prying eyes of others, Li Xuan could easily become that mortal whale.

Of course, it is not easy to kill Li Xuan, but it is possible to transfer him back to the court, take any idle position, or transfer him to other states and counties.

Only Li Xian was tempted.

Li Xian is unreliable. If Li Xuan is not with him for a long time, Li Xian will definitely be shaken.

Some people are too ambitious and misestimate their abilities. Coupled with greed and jealousy, they end up doing wrong things and feel that it is someone else's fault.

There are definitely not a few such people.

The appearance of such a person next to Li Xian is enough for Li Xuan to drink a pot.

"Don't worry, mother. My son is well aware of this and has already made preparations." Li Xuan bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, mother, for reminding me. My son will be more careful in the future."

"You are very smart, that is enough." Mrs. Ouyang smiled gently, waved her hand reassuringly, and said, "Go to the backyard, there are three wives waiting there."

"Then son, please retire, and mother should rest early." Li Xuan bowed and then exited the central hall.

"Your Majesty!" Li Zhu came up, with a dozen people behind him carrying a lot of red silk boxes.

"Let's go." Li Xuan waved her hand and walked towards the backyard.

……

Arriving at the door of the east courtyard, Liu Jinyu stood at the door with a bulging belly.

Qu Dou'er and Pei Shitong stood a little further back, holding out their bellies at the same time.

Li Xuan stepped forward to hold Liu Jinyu's wrist and whispered: "Why are you out? The wind is so cold."

"It's okay." Liu Jinyu looked behind her. Zhao'er and Xia'er poked their heads out from behind and shouted softly: "Aye!"

"Well!" Li Xuan reached out and touched Zhao'er and Xia'er's heads, then hugged them both directly, then looked at Qu Dou'er and Pei Shitong and said, "Come in, I'll give you one by one." Check your pulse and see how you are doing?"

"Here!" Qu Dou'er and Pei Shitong looked at each other with expectation in their eyes.

According to rumors, their husbands can know whether the child is a boy or a girl before birth, and some foolish women have even enshrined Li Xuan's tablet at home.

Li Xuan looked behind her and said, "Send the things you brought back to each room."

"Here!" Li Zhu delivered the gifts he just bought to each room.

"These are all brought back from Luoyang for my husband." Li Xuan shrugged helplessly and said, "I came back from Changzhou in a hurry this time. I had nothing but some medicinal materials, so I had to buy some from Luoyang and bring them back."

"Thank you, husband." Liu Jinyu, Qu Dou'er and Pei Shitong bowed slightly to Li Xuan happily.

Entering the room, the maid on the side carefully helped the three pregnant women sit down. Li Xuan frowned, and then said gently: "I am afraid that when my husband comes back this time, he will leave again next year, and I am afraid that he will leave again next year." There is nothing wrong, so I can accompany you well."

Liu Jinyu understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words and said, "The damselflies and Tong'er will go back to rest in a while. My husband will visit you later."

"Yes." Qu Dou'er looked at Pei Shitong and saw that she nodded without hesitation, so she nodded accordingly.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, then reached out and touched Liu Jinyu's wrist.

……

"Husband, are you a boy or a girl?" Liu Jinyu lay in Li Xuan's arms and asked in a low voice.

Li Xuan frowned slightly. Although she was confused, she still said: "Madam, please remember that my husband does not have the ability to see whether the child is a boy or a girl before giving birth."

"Don't worry, husband, Sanniang won't go out and say anything." Liu Jinyu rolled her eyes at Li Xuan angrily.

Li Xuan sighed softly and said: "They say sour boys and hot girls, but there is actually a certain truth to it."

"Huh?" Liu Jinyu was stunned, and then said: "But Sanniang, damselfly, and Tong'er all like to eat sour food recently."

"Yes!" Li Xuan was lying on the bed with confusion on her face: "How is it possible that all three of them are boys?"

Before Li Xuan returned home, she was already prepared for trouble.

Although Li Xuan doesn't care about his son and daughter, on the contrary, he likes his daughter more.

Although he was prepared for the troubles caused by three wives giving birth to children, he never expected that all three children would be boys.

Li Xuan originally thought that the best outcome would be that Liu Jinyu gave birth to a boy, and Pei Shitong and Qu Douer gave birth to girls.

In this way, Pei Shitong and Qu Douer would not be dissatisfied with each other, and it would be good for their children.

But he never imagined that he would soon welcome three sons.

I have a headache, a real headache.

"My husband is blessed, and I am also blessed." Liu Jinyu leaned in Li Xuan's arms with satisfaction. Her life would be complete with another son.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. How are things going outside?" Li Xuan's voice lowered subconsciously.

Liu Jinyu looked solemn and said: "After the prince was deposed, our people immediately took action. We have already obtained most of the cash, copper coins and gold that the prince kept in other places."

"Most of it?" Li Xuan was a little surprised.

"Between us and the imperial court, there is another group of people who are also grabbing these things, but I don't know who it is?" Liu Jinyu looked serious.

Li Xuan lowered her eyes, and then said: "It doesn't matter, no matter who it is, it's a good thing. Now our people must arrive in time to thoroughly investigate Yongluo and retreat to the northwest. The remaining people in these corners that others cannot see will be removed soon." There’s going to be some storms.”

"My husband is talking about the appointment of the new crown prince by the King of England." Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan worriedly and said, "Will anyone take action against us?"

"There should be some. Those people from the Beimen Bachelor's Palace, the Prime Minister's Palace, and Wu Chengsi would not be willing to watch the King of England ascend to the throne like this." Li Xuan smiled softly and said, "They are not interested in this." It is completely normal for us to take action..."

After a slight pause, Li Xuan whispered: "When my husband came back, the prince was assassinated. At this time, it is inevitable that someone will make trouble. If they bump into it at this time..."

"Husband, you mean, seducing the Queen of Heaven?" Liu Jinyu's voice was very low.

Li Xuan smiled, deeply.
