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

Chapter 1212 It’s already a bit late to prepare two years in advance

In the luxurious Tianshan Palace, Li Xuan sat on the left side.

Putting one hand on the teacup, Li Xuan looked at Qu Chongyu above with a puzzled face: "Father-in-law wants to be the governor of Changzhou?"

Qu Chongyu was wearing a black star-dot round collar robe, with a serious look on his face. He couldn't help but sigh softly on his tough face: "Yes, I used to think that the virtuous son-in-law's worries about Tuyuhun were unfounded, but this time around the Turkic turmoil, some people have I saw Turks in Fuqi City. Fortunately, His Majesty didn’t know about it, otherwise..."

Li Xuan looked solemn.

When the Tang Dynasty and the Turks were fighting in the north, it was not a good thing for the Turks to appear in Fuqi City.

"After my son-in-law is transferred from Changzhou, it may be difficult for the court to let my father-in-law be the governor of Changzhou. Instead of focusing on Changzhou, why don't my father-in-law consider other places?" Li Xuan suggested carefully.

It is inevitable that Li Xuan will be transferred from Changzhou. Once he wins Luoche, the Luoche Road General Manager's Office will be established, and Li Xuan will serve as the Luoche Road General Manager.

In this way, he will step down as the governor of Changzhou and the governor of Changzhou.

Qu Chongyu hoped that after Li Xuan resigned, he would be the governor of Changzhou to stabilize the situation in Tuyuhun in the east and west.

After all, he was Murong's son-in-law and he was from the royal family of Gaochang, so he still sympathized with Tuyuhun.

"Where?" Qu Chongyu didn't understand what Li Xuan meant.

"Hezhou." Li Xuan pointed directly to the east of Changzhou, between Taozhou and Changzhou.

"Hezhou?" Qu Chongyu pondered slightly, but his expression became brighter and brighter.

"Hezhou is located below Changzhou. My son-in-law has been running it for many years. Half of the goods in Changzhou have to be transferred to Taozhou and even Chang'an through Hezhou." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said seriously: "Nowadays, Hezhou may not be as prosperous as Lanzhou, but it is no worse than Shanzhou, and it can also support Changzhou and threaten its throat at critical times."

Qu Chongyu's eyes twitched and he asked in a low voice: "Are you worried that someone in the court will cause trouble?"

Li Xuan smiled bitterly, looked at Qu Chongyu and said, "My father-in-law is too far away, and my son-in-law is too close. Neither being trusted nor being trusted too much is a bad thing."

Qu Chongyu nodded slowly. He finally understood Li Xuan's worries.

Li Xuan is a member of the clan, and the clan can easily get involved in some things.

As the governor of Changzhou, after Li Xuan was transferred, the DPRK would definitely not let anyone who was too close to Li Xuan take over, and it was even more impossible for Qu Chongyu to take over.

On the contrary, if he takes over Hezhou, he can sandwich Changzhou with Li Xuan.

Through another method, Changzhou was controlled in disguise.

This is where the means lie.

"Then do as the wise son-in-law said." Qu Chongyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a slight wry smile: "There is actually a little selfishness from the father-in-law here."

Li Xuan smiled nonchalantly and said: "My son-in-law understands that even if he is the commander of a large army, his future prospects are still limited. On the contrary, it is easier for him to be the governor of a state or county."

There are only sixteen guards in Nanya. Counting the general and the two generals, there are only forty-eight positions in total.

Moreover, the general is not always there.

On the contrary, the Tang Dynasty had 300 states and 300 state governors.

In this way, as long as Wu Zhuanwen, not only the road ahead is open, but also he can climb up.

Nowadays, in the court, most of them are military generals, ministers, ministers, and even prime ministers.

It is not an exaggeration for Qu Chongyu to think so.

Seeing that Li Xuan really didn't care, Qu Chongyu laughed loudly, nodded, and said, "It seems that I did the right thing when I married Dou'er to a virtuous son-in-law."

Glancing at the night outside, Qu Chongyu calmed down and asked curiously: "So to whom do you think the Xianxiang will give the position of governor of Changzhou to?"

"It's hard to guess right now. We'll have to wait two years to figure it out. But my son-in-law doesn't want to give up just like that. He also wants to push a few people to compete." Li Xuan looked firm.

"Who?"

"How about the permanent black teeth?" Li Xuan leaned forward and looked at Qu Chongyu seriously.

"Black Teeth Changzhi?" Qu Chongyu was stunned. He did not expect Li Xuan to mention this name.

"Hei Te Changzhi is the leftist prime minister's old corps in Andong Road. He is a clansman of the right-leading army general Li Jinxing. He is the old corps of Pengcheng County Duke Liu Shenli. It can also be said that he is the old corps of Zhongshu Ling Li Jingxuan and even the prince. The key is that he is a military commander."

Li Xuan whispered in a voice that only Qu Chongyu could hear: "If there is something wrong with the logic, Hei Te Changzhi will immediately go to the front line... This is enough to reassure His Majesty."

Qu Chongyu's brows furrowed tightly. He looked at Li Xuan and looked at her in disbelief: "Does my nephew not have any selfish motives?"

"Yes, why not." Li Xuan smiled, then looked up in the direction of the palace, unable to suppress his excitement and said: "If the emperor really can live forever, or even live as long as the emperor, my son-in-law will be willing to have nothing, but Once the emperor...the prince, Xuan needs to make sure that there is no problem with Tubo. As for Hei Te Changzhi, Xuan believes in his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty."

Qu Chongyu's eyes lowered slightly, and then he mused: "Hei Te Changzhi is indeed a wonderful move. He established a solid barrier between Tubo and Longyou, allowing the court to completely rest assured about Tubo, and there will be no doubts easily. Thoughts... The only thing you need to be careful about is that some people will say that Hei Te Changzhi is the old subordinate of the virtuous son-in-law. If anything happens..."

"Once Heiji Changzhi becomes the governor of Changzhou, if my son-in-law leaves Tubo in the future, no matter who succeeds him, if something happens, Heiji Changzhi will be able to enter Tubo in time and stabilize the overall situation. I believe this can convince others. Li Xuan raised his head and added again: "And once the logic point is taken, Hei Te Changzhi's military exploits will be enough. How will it be settled then?"

Qu Chongyu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word.

"Hei Te Changzhi, Li Duozuo, and the right-leading general Wei Li Jinxing can't all be placed in Tubo." Li Xuan smiled and said, "Forget it, it's still early..." "It's not early. , it’s too late to calculate two years in advance.” Qu Chongyu shook his head calmly, looked at Li Xuan with a complex expression, and said: “It seems that everything in the northwest is under the calculation of the wise son-in-law, and even Black Teeth Chang Zhi, I am afraid that a good son-in-law also has means to check and balance, right?"

Li Xuan smiled and said no more.

At this moment, a baby's cry sounded in the back hall.

Li Xuan raised his head and looked at Qu Chongyu and said: "Sanlang was granted the title of Gaochang County Bodhisattva. Two hundred households in the fiefdom are in Gaochang. He also asked his father-in-law to send someone back to take a look... and it is impossible to say that after the son-in-law calmed down the situation, Sanlang, the Gaochang County Bodhisattva, I can go further. If I can become a Duke of Gaochang in the future, I may even be granted the title of King of Gaochang according to my ability in the future..."

"Okay!" Qu Chongyu interrupted Li Xuan directly, but the excitement flashing across his expression could not be hidden.

The Qu family belongs to the royal family of Gaochang, but today Qu Chongyu only has the title of Tianshan Gong.

If one day, Qu Chongyu's grandson becomes the king of Gaochang, it will be equivalent to the Qu family becoming the king of Gaochang again.

Even if this title can be passed down forever...

Qu Chongyu couldn't help but breathe heavily. It was indeed a very beautiful dream.

Li Xuan smiled lightly, Youwuwei General Qu Chongyu was never an incompetent general.

Qu Dou'er's marriage to Li Xuan only increased the connection between the two families, but if Qu Dou'er's son had the opportunity to become the King of Gaochang...

The Qu family has been completely bound to Li Xuan's chariot.

Hezhou will also become the most critical link to check and balance Changzhou...

……

It was already dark and the lanterns were hung high.

Li Xuan, who was about to board the carriage and return, suddenly stopped, looked at Qu Chongyu, cupped his hands and said, "There is one more thing, I almost forgot to tell my father-in-law."

Qu Chongyu was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Please tell me, my dear son-in-law."

"Yao Yi, the governor of Changzhou, returned to the court not long ago. He once mentioned that the Tubo Guangjun had sneaked into the mountains between Changzhou and Hezhou. Changzhou has been cleared, but many of them have sneaked into Hezhou. Please trouble my father-in-law. Relevant ministries and departments ask if there is a need to cross the border in Changzhou to suppress bandits?" Li Xuan bowed lightly, then turned around and got on the carriage.

Watching the purple-covered carriage leave slowly, Qu Chongyu narrowed his eyes slightly, then turned around and walked towards the mansion, his eyes full of contentment.

In the carriage, Li Xuan stretched out her hand to play with Li Zhiyou's fair baby fingers, couldn't help but smile, then sat aside and gently held Qu Dou'er in his arms.

"Husband!" Qu Dou'er called softly.

"Huh?" Li Xuan lowered his head and saw Qu Dou'er looking at him curiously: "Aye is in Changzhou this time. Can I still go to Changzhou in the future?"

"Yes, at any time, you can go whenever you want, but you have to take good care of Sanlang first." Li Xuan pinched Li Zhiyou, who was a little fat as a baby, and then said softly: "Wait until Sanlang is three years old When the weather is warm, you can go to Hezhou first, and then go to Changzhou. After getting used to it in Changzhou, you can go to Tubo."

Li Xuan doesn't know whether the plateau barrier exists for his children, so he is cautious about taking his son to the plateau.

If your son is not suitable for the plateau, then forget it.

As for the future, the worst possible outcome is to have a son on the plateau.

"So Third Sister, she will never be able to leave the capital?" Qu Dou'er looked at Li Xuan with some sadness.

Li Xuan pinched her cheeks, which also had some baby fat, and then said softly: "That's not true. One day, she will go wherever she wants to go."

……

On the third day of the first lunar month, the emperor offered sacrifices to the northern and southern suburbs.

The prince, all kings, all ministers, all ministers, ministers, and officials in the East Palace all followed.

By the time it was all over, it was already dark.

Then all the officials returned home.

Li Xuan accompanied Li Xian slowly back to the palace and told him that Pei Yan also wanted to marry the prince's concubine for him.

Li Xian immediately noticed something was wrong.

He said with some anxiety: "Uncle Wang, would this be bad?"

"The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment takes the initiative to do something for the East Palace, and even involves Zhou Guogong. For the sake of the overall situation, please bear with His Highness." Li Xuan looked at Li Xian and whispered: "If there is anything wrong, Your Highness will bite the bullet." Just push it on the minister, and she is a delicate beauty. His Highness has given Prince Pingyuan enough face, so that Prince Pingyuan can support His Highness in everything. His Majesty's arrangement is also for His Highness and for the stability of the world. "

Li Xian was finally forced to nod and agree to the matter.

Li Xuan's expression became solemn and she said in a deep voice: "On the sixth day of the first lunar month, I will come to teach His Highness the last lesson. Your Highness will be ready."

Li Xian suddenly became solemn. What Li Xuan said before leaving Beijing every year was related to extremely important issues.

It has been verified before, so Li Xian couldn't help but pay no attention to it.
