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

Chapter 1191 The Great Victory on the Grassland, Everyone’s Thoughts

After a long time, Wei Shi finally came to his senses and sighed: "Uncle Wang should be the leader of the younger generation in this world."

"Your Highness, you have given me too much praise." Li Xuan was a little tipsy, but she still tried her best to say in earnest: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is very talented. He just acted too much when he was young. Now that he has corrected himself in time, he will surely be in great prosperity. I can't compare with you." , Besides, I will be leaving Beijing in the next year, and if I want to study hard, I won’t have much time.”

"Uncle Wang is too modest." Webster took a deep breath and said seriously: "I'm sorry to trouble you today, Uncle Wang. The Laba gift has been sent to the house from the East Palace."

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will take my leave." Li Xuan handed over her hand and then slowly exited the inner hall.

After Li Xuan left, Wei Shi looked at Princess Taiping and said with emotion: "Princess, how are you?"

Princess Taiping, who was wearing a green undershirt, pursed her lips, looked to the side, and said with disappointment: "These people today are not as good as Uncle Wang of Nanchang."

As soon as she reached out, Princess Taiping took out a stack of portraits from under the futon behind her.

Above these portraits are all the children of aristocratic families and literary talents who are in the East Palace today.

Webster glanced at it, then smiled bitterly and said: "There are few young people in this world who can match the civil and military talents of the King of Nanchang."

Princess Taiping shook her head soberly and said: "There are at least four brothers and three brothers. Uncle Wang is right. The third brother is very talented. If he can be taught by great talents for a long time, he will definitely be the top in the world, just like his father. It was like that back then.”

Webster started to speak, but then shut his mouth.

When the emperor was in Zhenguan, he was not outstanding at first. The truly outstanding ones were Prince Li Chengqian, King of Wei Li Tai, and King of Wu Li Ke, but these people are gone now.

And the current emperor Li Zhi, comparing his knowledge today with that of the past, is far superior to everyone else.

Princess Taiping can say these words, but Webster cannot. She is only a daughter-in-law, not a biological daughter.

All she could say was Li Xian.

But having said that, Li Xian may not be able to surpass Li Xuan in knowledge in the future.

However, there is another prime minister, Li Dan, who is inconspicuous.

A trace of gloom flashed in Webster's eyes, and then he looked at Princess Taiping and said with a smile: "Although everyone is not talented today, the princess still needs to carefully analyze Uncle Wang's evaluation."

Princess Taiping nodded slightly to Webster, frowned and said, "Please give me some advice, Sister-in-Law."

Empress Wu asked Princess Taiping to come to the East Palace today, just to meet the younger generation of talents and listen to people comment on them.

Comment on the strengths and weaknesses of these young talents.

Webster chose Li Xuan without hesitation. She believed that the emperor and Empress Wu thought so too.

Firstly, Li Xuan has a good eye, and secondly, the King of Nanchang is the best to do such things that offend people.

……

"First is He Jizhen." Webster looked relaxed and said: "Although He Jizhen is first-class in literary talent, he has already been used by Uncle Wang of Nanchang, so there is no need to consider it. Then there is Chen Zi'ang, who is too straight-tempered. No matter where he is, being too straight-tempered is never a problem. Good thing."

Princess Taiping nodded silently. Li Xuan introduced the situation just now in detail, and Princess Taiping herself could understand the meaning.

Empress Wu asked her to come today. Although she didn't explicitly say anything about choosing a son-in-law, there was still a hint of meaning.

Unfortunately, Princess Taiping is not interested in these people.

With Li Xuan standing as a benchmark, it would be difficult for others to establish an image in Princess Taiping's mind.

Wei Shi glanced at Princess Taiping, who was in a daze, and continued: "Lu Zangyong comes from the wealthy Lu family of Fanyang and is talented, but he is too old and secretive in his work..."

"A secret?" Princess Taiping raised her head in surprise. She didn't understand clearly just now.

"Well!" Wei Shi said with a hint of sneer: "The Lu family is playing tricks. I am afraid that the truly best disciple of the Lu family is not Lu Zangyong, but his cousin, Duke Fanyang and the doctor of the Ministry of official affairs. Lu Yuan, the second son of Lu Chen, is of the same age as the princess and is unmarried."

To be unmarried is to be unmarried, not to be unmarried.

There is definitely an engagement, but whether the marriage can be resolved peacefully after the engagement with the princess depends on each family's methods.

But Lu Shi took Lu Zangyong and rushed in front, while Lu Yuan hid behind him, which was somewhat unpleasant.

Li Xuan saw this, and Webster also saw this.

Princess Taiping couldn't help being aroused with anger in her heart, but she still listened calmly to Webster's words.

"...Bi Gou came from a poor family, so he was naturally not considered." Webster shook his head subconsciously.

For an instant, she seemed to see a glint of light flashing in Princess Taiping's eyes. When she looked again, it was completely gone.

Wei Shi shook her head inwardly. She must have seen it wrong. Bi Gou could not be compared to a child from a poor family. The only thing worthy of praise was that Li Xuan said that he had the talent of a prime minister.

After a slight pause, Webster continued: "The Yang family's literary talent is not outstanding, so in the future, she will definitely take the path of martial arts, and she will inevitably fight on the battlefield. And the princess must have someone to accompany her, which is not appropriate. The last one is Du."

Wei Shi snorted coldly and said: "Du Shi is too involved, and he doesn't know how to advance or retreat. He doesn't have many special talents, and he is not suitable."

Webster did not forget that not long ago, Li Xiancai inspected Du Pengju's talent and learning. In fact, he was not as good as Li Xian.

"Then it's the ones we haven't arrived yet." Princess Taiping lowered her head slightly, her expression gloomy.

Weishi spoke softly and said: "Actually, there are only two families, the Pei family, the Wei family, and the Dou family. The Dugu family will not be involved in the real thing. The only ones left are the Cui family and the Xue family."

"Uncle Wang didn't say anything, but please ask Sister-in-law Wang to inquire more." Princess Taiping smiled reluctantly, looking uneasy.

Webster patted her arm gently, silently comforting her.

Women always feel uneasy when facing marriage, and Webster also came from that time.

Princess Taiping lowered her head. The moment she lowered her head, her expression flickered.

……

Li Xuan walked calmly in the courtyard of the East Palace, surrounded by wintersweet trees and the fragrance was fragrant.

Is all this necessary today?

Li Xuan slowed down. The banquet inside the East Palace was not a big deal, but the sudden appearance of Princess Taiping directly raised the level of the matter.

After a pause in his steps, Li Xuan immediately understood Empress Wu's intention.

Empress Wu was forcing the children of the Cui family and the Xue family to die. It is true that Empress Wu wanted to find a good marriage for Princess Taiping, but from another perspective, Empress Wu had no other plans.

What exactly is this calculation?

Suddenly, Li Xuan chuckled and whispered: "There are a few plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han is blooming alone."

Who cares, Xue and Cui are not easy to calculate.

There is no need for Li Xuan to get involved in this matter now. He only needs to keep an eye on Princess Taiping.

While thinking, Li Xuan quickly walked towards Mingde Hall.

Just after Li Xuan disappeared, a figure suddenly appeared in the corner.

This person turned out to be Xu Lu, the old chamberlain of the East Palace.

He lowered his eyebrows, wrote down what Li Xuan just said, and then slowly retreated into the darkness.

……

In the front hall, Li Xuan stepped in.

In an instant, the originally noisy hall fell silent.

Li Xuan stopped in surprise, her face full of surprise: What's going on?

"Uncle Wang." Li Xian spoke directly and waved to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan handed over his hand, then walked over and sat down next to Li Xian.

Li Xian asked in a low voice: "How is it? What do you think from Taiping?"

"There is nothing in the first place, so why should it be stained with dust." Li Xuan came closer and whispered something, and Li Xian understood immediately.

At the moment, there is no one who is suitable for Princess Taiping, and Empress Wu's purpose is not with these people today.

Li Xian raised his head, looked at the people in Mingde Hall, rubbed his wine glass and said, "Uncle Wang left just now, and someone has already guessed something."

"So what if you guessed it? They can only blame them for their bad luck." Li Xuan picked up the wine bottle from the side and said to Li Xian: "Your Highness, please!"

"Uncle Wang! Please!" Li Xian couldn't help but laugh heartily.

It can be seen that although these people in front of him are all rare talents in this world, in Li Xian's eyes, no one is worthy of his sister.

Maybe all brothers are like this.

Maybe this is the case for all fathers. Li Xuan now has a daughter. If someone wants to marry his daughter, they have to go through nine or eighty-one hurdles...

"Good news, good news, great victory on the front line, great victory on the front line, Yingzhou, Yunzhong, and Yinzhou attacked on three fronts, defeated the Turkic offensive, and beheaded 20,000 people."

"Good news, good news, great victory on the front line..."

The sound of delivering the good news immediately rang throughout the hall and even the entire palace.

Li Xian couldn't help but stood up, held up the wine bottle, and shouted to everyone: "Everyone, we have a great victory on the front line, kill the enemy invaders, drink to win, drink to win."

"Drink to win, drink to win." Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.

……

It was already late when Li Xuan returned to Prince Peng's Mansion. She smelled of alcohol. Although she was not drunk, she felt really uncomfortable after being soaked in the alcohol all night.

Li Xuan went directly to the study without disturbing his wife and children.

I changed my clothes and washed my face.

Li Xuan was sitting in the study studying today's battle report.

He was in the East Palace today and didn't know many details about the battle report.

Everyone was so drunk that no one had the time to care about the details. All the worries were left to tomorrow.

Li Xuan calmed down.

Yingzhou, Yunzhong, and Yinzhou attacked on three fronts. Although it was called an attack, I was afraid it was just a trap and ambush, and then took advantage of the situation to cover up the kill.

As for how to trap and ambush, those people from Hebei Road talked too much after they were caught.

If Gao Kan, Pei Xingjian, Zhou Wudao and others could not seize such an opportunity, they would be in vain as generals in the army.

But what impact will this killing have on the future situation?

Very few, Turks...

At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps sounded, interrupting Li Xuan's thoughts.

Li Xuan turned around and saw Liu Jinyu walking in wearing a white fox fur cloak and holding a lantern.

"Why are you up?" Li Xuan stood up.

"My husband has just come back, so I came here to take a look." Liu Jinyu could not help but wrinkle her nose when she smelled the smell of alcohol.

Li Xuan immediately waved her hand and said, "There was news about a great victory today, so I drank a few more drinks."

Liu Jinyu understood immediately, breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the low couch next to Li Xuan, and whispered: "Then after this big victory, next year will be easier."

"That's true, but my husband still feels that something is wrong. I always feel that someone is deliberately teasing me?" Li Xuan shook his head slightly. This was what he was thinking about just now.

"Who?" Liu Jinyu raised his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Could it be Pei Yan or Pei Shangshu?"

"It's possible." Li Xuan nodded, then shook his head and said: "My husband can't get involved in the Turkic affairs, so it's better to just ignore it... But today, the Queen of Heaven asked the princess to go to the East Palace to see those of the younger generation. Sir, now, the matter of the princess becomes more and more clear."

"This is a good thing for the princess." Liu Jinyu leaned into Li Xuan's arms and whispered: "Parents all hope that their daughters can marry the best husband. Although they have thoughts in their hearts, they still I don’t want to miss any possibility, this kind of thing is hard to say.”

"Mom, are you thinking about Xia'er?" Li Xuan smiled and said, "My girl needs to find someone who can match her, with a gentle temperament, talent, knowledge, means, and courage..."

"There are not many people like my husband in the world."
