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

Chapter 1189: The Theory of Six Kingdoms, I can write three articles

Li Xuan stood up from his seat, raised his hands and looked at Li Xian above, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, regarding the matter of Han Gao, both Tai Shigong and Han Zhonglang General Ban Gu have a final conclusion. All you need to do is make a decision according to the book.

As for the revision of the book... I feel that it is better for Zhou Guogong to participate and jointly compile the annotations, but now that Zhou Guogong is working abroad, it is better to take it slow. "

When Lawu Chengsi came in to compile a book, the eyes of the officials present brightened and they nodded subconsciously.

This is not the first time Li Xuan has said this.

He had previously invited Wu Chengsi in front of him to compile and annotate the "Book of Han", but at that time, it was just an angry counterattack against Wu Chengsi.

But now it seems that Wu Chengsi is indeed a good shield.

Now that Wu Chengsi is not in Chang'an, the compilation of annotations can naturally be postponed.

When Wu Chengsi returns to the court and participates in the "Compilation of Books", when Wu Chengsi has made a final decision on Empress Lu's matter, Empress Wu will naturally accept it, and then this matter can be over.

Xue Yuanchao spoke slowly and said: "You can start first. After all, the merits and demerits of Han Gao and Han Dynasty are concentrated after the death of Emperor Gaozu. From the end of Qin Dynasty to Han Ding, the time is not short. If you slowly prepare for it, you can finally reach a conclusion."

Yao Lingzhang listened on the sidelines. With Li Xian's precedent, who among them would dare to poke the hornet's nest of Empress Lu easily.

Other people's affairs come second. The key is how Li Xian and Empress Wu will change their minds on this matter.

Yao Lingzhang's historian naturally knows the changes in his mind.

He admitted that Li Xuan was right not to let Li Xian compile the "Book of the Later Han" because Li Xian's mind had gradually changed during the entire process of compiling the book.

As for the "Book of Han", although Empress Lu made some mistakes, she had no fault for Liu Ying after all.

Liu Ying's biggest fault was that she did not have a son of her own. If Liu Ying could have a son of her own, then the history of the Han Dynasty could be changed.

If this matter is placed on Li Xian, at least Li Xian already has a legitimate son of his own, and he is also named the emperor's grandson.

Thinking of this, Yao Lingzhang looked at Li Xian, cupped his hands and said: "After all, we have to start first. After all, His Majesty is also watching this matter."

Li Xuan suddenly looked at Yao Lingzhang and nodded solemnly.

Although Li Xian is now a prince and has a grandson, Li Chongzhao, he also has a younger brother, Li Dan.

Li Dan, as well as the North Gate bachelor beside him, were all staring at the East Palace all the time.

If Li Xianzhen did not do well in the "Book of Han" matters and lacked courage, the emperor would have him deposed if he did not do well.

"You can do it first, but how to start, where to start, and when to start?" Li Xian raised his head and looked at everyone. This book repairing did not start right away.

Xue Yuanchao pondered for a moment and said: "Let's write a preface first. Xiaguan will write one, Yao Zhanshi will write one, the King of Nanchang will write one, and Su Sima will also write one. Others who are interested can also write it. One copy...can be used after next year's imperial examination to attract scholars from all over the world."

"The preface to "The Book of Han"?" Li Xuan couldn't help but frown, looked at Xue Yuanchao uncertainly, and said: "Four hundred years of Han history, emperors and generals, literati, Taoist and Buddhist biographies, extra battles , there are countless, even the troubled times of the late Qin Dynasty, the survivors of the Six Kingdoms, can I write about it from all aspects?"

"Okay." Xue Yuanchao looked at Li Xuan with a smile and said, "It is okay for the prince to write a treatise on the Six Kingdoms like Jia Yi's "On the Passage of Qin"."

Li Xuan smiled reluctantly. He could write three articles on the Six Kingdoms.

But "Han Lun" was not easy to write.

……

Under the night, Li Xuan walked out of the East Palace a little tired.

Not far ahead, there was a royal carriage parked.

At this time, the left and right guards of the two teams came from outside the palace with their soldiers.

The prince's right guard led Wei Ji and the prince's commander Su Liangsi came out from the inside to direct the defense change.

Li Xuan stopped on one side and watched this scene calmly.

As the prince's younger brother, the prince's command, the prince's family command, the prince's servants, and the prince's guard all belong to Li Xuan.

Of course, there is Yao Lingzhang on top of Li Xuan, and Li Xian on top of Yao Lingzhang.

Li Xuan has been in the East Palace for so long, but he has never been involved in the operation of the prince's order, the prince's family order, the prince's servants, and the prince's guard. He is more focused on Chongwen Hall.

Of course, all internal and external affairs of the prince's command, the prince's family command, the prince's servants, and the prince's guard must be reported to Li Xuan.

But he just looked at it and didn't care.

The left and right guards in red clothes and silver armor have begun to guard the palace gate, and the other two groups of soldiers are also evacuating in an orderly manner.

Li Xuan nodded to Wei Ji and Su Liangsi, who nodded in return, and then Li Xuan got on the carriage.

The carriage slowly drove away from the East Palace.

Wei Ji and Su Liangsi watched Li Xuan leave and then turned around.

They looked at each other with habitual vigilance and gentleness in their eyes.

There is no longer any vigilance and caution as when they first met.

The next moment, the gate of the East Palace was closed.

The car curtain also slowly fell at this time.

Li Xuan withdrew her gaze and then leaned in the car to think carefully.

What happened today will probably fall into the eyes of Empress Wu sooner or later...

No, Su Liangsi will report it tonight.

How will Empress Wu react?

……

The carriage swayed and headed towards Duanmen.

The moment she left the imperial city, Li Xuan couldn't help but look at the Tai Chi Hall in the center of the imperial city.

There is also the Daming Palace located further northeast.

The car curtain fell, and the firelight from the lantern on the city gate fell on Li Xuan's face through the swaying car curtain, and fell on his face full of sarcasm.

Compiling history in the Tang Dynasty is a habit passed down from the Taizong Dynasty to today.

The prime ministers all have the task of compiling national history. Li Xuan's father-in-law Liu Rengui, Right Prime Minister Dai Zhide, Hao Chujun, Zhao Renben and others all do the same.

As the crown prince, is Li Xian willing to wade into this muddy water? Is it a big trouble for him not to know that the "Book of Han" and "Book of the Later Han" are compiled and annotated?

He knew, but he had no choice. There were too many people forcing him to take that step. There were too many people who wanted to take back the power from the Empress Wu.

It’s not that there are no such people in Donggong, it’s just that these people are very hidden. But in the future, once Donggong compiles and annotates the "Book of Han", these people will emerge...

Li Xuan shook her head and looked at Chang'an City outside the car window, her expression gradually calming down. It would be nice if someone makes a scene, so that people will forget about Li Xuan when they are not needed, and remember him when they are needed.

"Walk around Pingkangfang and then go home." Li Xuan whispered to the outside, and Li Zhu understood immediately.

The guards from Nanchang Palace who led the way also slowly walked towards Pingkangfang.

Li Xuan leaned in the car, listening to the noisy Chang'an City gradually quieting down, and her expression gradually calmed down.

Li Xuan indeed had a scheming intention regarding today's matter, regarding Concubine Li Xianna and the emperor's grandson.

Or more temptations.

He was testing the emperor and Empress Wu's attitude towards Li Xian.

There is no need for the emperor to say more. Even Empress Wu doesn't have much opinion on the East Palace at this time.

He has no intention of changing the prince at all.

That's why Xue Yuanchao mentioned compiling and annotating "Han Shu" today. Today is a better time to choose.

As for Empress Wu, she appointed Du Bixing as governor of Jizhou and Sima of Jizhou Governor's Office...

The figure suddenly flashed into the carriage.

Du Liu, who was wearing a dark green silk robe with a lotus pattern and a black hat, still dressed in men's attire, sat in front of Li Xuan.

He raised his head and looked at Li Xuan with a resentful look.

Li Xuan smiled softly, as if he had known she would come for a long time. She leaned calmly in the carriage and raised her eyes and said, "Has your father's decree arrived?"

"Arrived this morning." Du Liu lowered his head and leaned over, revealing his beautiful long white neck.

Li Xuan patted her cheek gently and said with some pity: "Now that the imperial edict has been issued, what are you still doing?"

Du Bixing was already the governor of Jizhou, and Jizhou was Shangzhou. The governor of Shangzhou was an official of the fifth rank, one level higher than Sima of Wuzhou.

In this case, he has escaped the trouble in Chang'an, and it is not easy for the Du family to influence him.

Du Liu didn't need to care about Li Xuan at this time.

Du Liu raised his head timidly, looked at Li Xuan and said, "Father is a little scared. He is worried that going to Jizhou will make it more dangerous."

"It's because the Emperor Sun Yao leads the governor of Jizhou, because that place has fallen into the eyes of the Queen of Heaven, and because the East Palace will inevitably intervene there in the future. With the relationship between the Du family and the local aristocratic families, it is inevitable that there will be a conflict with the East Palace. By then, you My father and the people from the East Palace will all be eradicated by the Queen of Heaven in one go."

Li Xuan sighed with emotion and said, "Your father is really a smart man!"

"Smart people are afraid a lot." Du Liu lowered his head, looked at Li Xuan and said, "Please give me some advice from the prince."

"Come here." Li Xuan raised her eyes and hooked her hands slightly. Du Liu subconsciously snuggled into Li Xuan's arms.

……

Li Xuan carefully stroked Du Liu's fingers and asked, "Is there any news about Huang Ziliu?"

Du Liu couldn't help but shiver, and then whispered: "No, I heard that he suddenly entered the depths of the grassland a month ago and never came back."

Li Xuan fell silent, and then said: "Since he didn't come back, then he is dead, or was caught by the Turks, or escaped?"

Du Liu lowered his head solemnly, with a hint of sadness on his face.

Li Xuan's warm left hand pressed on her neck, and Du Liu closed her eyes subconsciously.

"This marriage is basically over. Maybe he has a chance to return to Chang'an alive, but as a fugitive, the Du family will not let you marry him, not even your father. However, this marriage contract It's better to keep it going for the time being and wait until you leave Chang'an." Li Xuan's calm voice made Du Liu feel at ease.

Li Xuan continued to speak and said: "As for your father's matter, after he arrives in Jizhou, he will fight for what should be fought and rob what should be robbed. There are also smart people in the East Palace who know what to do."

Du Liu subconsciously raised his head and looked at Li Xuan in surprise.

Li Xuan sneered softly and said: "If you want to stir up chaos in Jizhou, you have to cooperate with the East Palace. As long as it is within the law, your father will fight for everything that should be fought. Anything outside the law should be given up." If you give in, then as long as you remember one thing, you will always be safe."

"What?" Du Liu stopped what he was doing and looked up at Li Xuan blankly.

"Don't enter the capital, never enter the capital." Li Xuan shook his head and said in a solemn tone: "As long as he remembers this, nothing will happen. But once he enters the capital again, no one can keep him."

"Yes!" Although Du Liu couldn't fully understand what Li Xuan meant, he still understood a little bit.

"Also, go back and make preparations. If nothing happens, I will leave the capital on the ninth day of the first lunar month." Li Xuan lifted Du Liu's smooth chin.

Du Liu blinked lightly: "Yeah!"

……

In Prince Peng's Mansion, Li Xuan got off his horse and just entered the door when Li Bi came up with an invitation.

"Your Majesty, the Yang family invites you to a banquet tomorrow." Li Bi placed the gold-edged invitation in front of Li Xuan.

"The Yang family, they finally showed up." Li Xuan sneered lightly and picked up the invitation in front of her.

Male from Hucheng County, Luzhou Governor's Mansion,

Yang Sizhi, the governor of Luzhou, was the grandson of Yang Xiong, the king of Guan.

This was the name on the invitation. Of course it couldn't be Yang Sizhi who actually came forward in this matter.

But it was his second son, Yang Zhiyi.

Yang Zhiyi's reputation is not very loud, but his elder brother Yang Zhirou was the number one scholar in his early years.

"Reply and tell them that there will be a banquet for the scholars in the East Palace tomorrow. Please come with them who have just arrived in Chang'an. Tomorrow's Yang Mansion night banquet will be skipped." Li Xuan waved her hand slightly.

The Yang family finally began to intervene in Princess Taiping's matter, but they were not the only ones involved.

　There is a BUG in this chapter. Liu Ying actually had six sons. Two of them were established as emperors when Empress Lu claimed the throne. The former young emperor Liu Gong was later deposed and executed; the latter young emperor Liu Hong reigned until Empress Lu After his death, he was deposed and executed by the court officials.

　　The ministers declared, "Liu Ying's sons are not his biological sons, but the blood of the Lu family. Empress Lu established the descendants of the Lu family as princes and princes. In the future, the world will actually be named Lu."

　　After pacifying the Lu empresses, the hero faction and the royal faction welcomed Liu Heng as emperor. The two factions were afraid that the Lu family would grow stronger in the future. On the night when Liu Heng entered the Weiyang Palace, these few (who were declared by the officials) were not the Liu family. Their descendants were executed in their official residence.

　　Therefore, from now on there will be a saying that Emperor Hui has no children.

　　But these people who claimed that Emperor Hui had no children were all killed by Liu Heng.

　　Therefore, whether Liu Ying had any heirs has become a historical mystery.

　　Travelers must have children, preferably more than six.
