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

Chapter 1215 Xue Shao is destined to die

Walking out of Mingde Hall, under the bright sunshine, Li Xuan couldn't feel the slightest warmth.

Only he himself knows best how dangerous the lesson he taught Li Xian just now was.

But he knew that from the emperor's point of view, the emperor was probably waiting for someone to teach Li Xian this lesson.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Princess invites you." The familiar voice of the chamberlain sounded from the side.

Li Xuan turned around and saw Sun Youde, Princess Taiping's servant, standing respectfully aside.

It seemed as if he had been standing there for a long time.

Li Xuan was stunned, and then asked: "Has the princess come to the East Palace?"

"Your Highness has just arrived. Your Majesty, please." Sun Youde took a step back.

"Okay!" Li Xuan nodded, and then followed Sun Youde towards the side hall.

It was the same side hall as before, and the people in the East Palace seemed to have forgotten it.

There was never anyone from the East Palace around.

Li Xuan walked into the palace, and Princess Taiping in an emerald green skirt had already greeted her.

"Your Highness!" Li Xuan took the lead in saluting, looking solemn.

"Uncle Wang!" Princess Taiping returned the favor with a smile, glanced around, waved her hands and said, "You all can go down."

"Here!" The palace attendants around them relaxed slightly, and then slowly retreated.

Li Xuan once again held up his hand and said cautiously: "I wonder why Your Highness came to see you today?"

"Uncle Wang, please sit down." Princess Taiping asked Li Xuan to sit down on the short table next to her. Then she sat back in her seat and asked with a smile: "Uncle Wang, there are reports on the market recently about fraud in this year's imperial examination. Rumors, I wonder if Uncle Wang has heard about this?"

"Imperial examination? Fraud?" Li Xuan was stunned, and then asked quickly: "What is going on? The imperial examination will only start in a month, and Your Majesty has not even set the questions. How can there be fraud?"

Princess Taiping leaned forward slightly, stared at Li Xuan with her palm-sized face, and asked: "I heard that Uncle Wang and his cousin were drinking together that day, and they happened to come across the Du family gambling house, and they offered a lottery for the imperial examination position... ...Taiping asked Bi Gou, if Xue Shao, Cui Chu, Lu Yuan and others have no hope of becoming the number one scholar, then the position of number one scholar must go to He Zhizhang."

Li Xuan lowered her eyebrows and said nothing.

But Princess Taiping already got the answer.

She leaned back slightly, and then said with emotion: "He Zhizhang is destined to return to Changzhou, and the treatment of the number one scholar will fall on the second-ranked scholar. The second-ranked scholar can be appointed as secretary and provincial secretary, which is a ninth-rank official."

"If Bi Gou wants to be the Secretary and Provincial Secretary, he will have to rely on himself to be the second in the rankings." Li Xuan looked up, her expression completely indifferent.

Princess Taiping smiled, and Li Xuan finally stopped pretending.

However, Princess Taiping didn't say much. Princess Taiping asked Li Xuan to help with this matter.

"Uncle Wang said that he has the talent of a prime minister, so he can still get the second place in the rankings under the current situation." Princess Taiping sighed softly: "It is really a pleasure to watch Uncle Wang manipulate the government."

"If Your Highness is interested, I will find two more people next year, and then Your Highness will personally participate." Li Xuan calmly picked up the tea cup.

"Can Taiping get more involved in these things?" Princess Taiping looked at Li Xuan in surprise.

"The princess also has the responsibility to promote talents." Li Xuan forced a smile on her face and said, "I believe that whether it is your majesty, the queen, or the prince, they will definitely trust your highness's vision."

Princess Taiping turned her head to look at Li Xuan, raised her lower lip, looked at Li Xuan and said, "Taiping always feels that Uncle Wang has ill intentions."

Li Xuan lowered her head and said softly: "This matter is not harmful to His Highness, it is not harmful to the Crown Prince, and it is also not harmful to Your Majesty and the Queen."

Princess Taiping frowned slightly, one thing cannot be good for everyone.

If something is good for everyone, it is bad for everyone.

So in this matter, someone’s interests must have been damaged, and whose?

Princess Taiping shook her head. She didn't have to worry about whose interests were harmed. She just needed to ensure that she could get the benefits.

"His Highness will always get married. Once His Highness gets married, even with the support of His Majesty and the Queen, he still has money, rice, oil and salt. The interpersonal matters fall on His Highness. At this time, someone needs a little help from the outside."

Li Xuan raised her eyes to look at Princess Taiping and said softly: "If someone can help from the Censor, Dali Temple, Chang'an Wannian, and the Second County, then His Highness will be much more relaxed in the future."

Princess Taiping was slightly startled, her face darkened, and then she nodded slowly with a calm expression.

What Li Xuan said was indeed something Princess Taiping had never thought of, but in the bottom of her heart, it might not have touched her.

This time, the reason why she recruited Bi Gou was because she was afraid of her future marriage from the bottom of her heart, so she reacted this way.

The future, the future.

Although her father, the emperor, and her mother could be her ultimate support, in the face of all kinds of troubles in daily life, Princess Taiping still couldn't help but want to find help that she could control.

This was the real reason why she was looking for Bi Gou.

"Getting married." Princess Taiping suddenly raised her head and asked with a sincere face: "Uncle Wang, there are so many people nowadays. Which person does Uncle Wang think is the most suitable for Taiping?"

"Which person is the most suitable is not decided by me, but by His Highness and His Majesty the Queen." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said: "As I said before, he must first have someone who can protect His Highness. With such strength, many of those people will die."

Princess Taiping nodded lightly, like the Du family, Wei family, Zheng family, these, Princess Taiping would not even consider.

"Secondly, he must have enough knowledge. Although things changed on New Year's Eve, in fact, several people have been decided." Li Xuan looked up at Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping's eyebrows drooped. Nowadays, there are only three people who are really knowledgeable enough, Xue Shao, Cui Wei, and Lu Yuan.

"After that, he must be able to bear the injustice for His Highness." Li Xuan couldn't help but shook her head and said, "There are still some things that happened that day."

Princess Taiping was speechless. What was originally a wonderful banquet that night was completely ruined by Li Xuan's poem.

But Li Xuan said that by now, the candidates have basically been announced. Although Xue Shao, Cui Can, and Lu Yuan are all good in knowledge, family background, and personal ability, to be honest, their desire to marry a princess is still different.

Xue Shao is most eager to marry a princess and become a consort. After all, his parents are dead, and even if the whole family is here in the future, he will not be able to borrow much help.

The other Cui Can and Lu Yuan have no ambitions.

With the support of their family, as long as they are capable enough, they may be able to become prime ministers.

"But Taiping doesn't want to get married yet." Princess Taiping couldn't help but shook her head. When it came to marriage, she still couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Premarital phobia is nothing strange.

Nowadays, in the Tang Dynasty, although it is commonplace, you can only meet once or twice before getting married, and there are many people who have never even met before.

Although parents and family try to comfort you in every possible way, the closer you get to the wedding, the more nervous you become.

Facing a completely unfamiliar future, who can not feel fear?

"This shows that His Highness still has doubts in his heart. Of course, this is not His Highness's problem. It only means that those three people are not enough to make His Highness fall in love. This is their problem and has nothing to do with His Highness." Li Xuan said The words directly solved Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping breathed a long sigh of relief, regained her weird spirit, and looked at Li Xuan pleadingly: "Is there anything good that Uncle Wang can do?"

Li Xuan pondered for a moment, and then said: "As for the reason for this matter, although His Highness is of marriageable age, he did not make it clear when he was elected as a son-in-law. Therefore, His Highness's matter is actually not that urgent. If His Highness has any doubts in his heart at the moment, why not Find a reason to avoid it, and then see who will catch up."

"Catch up?" Princess Taiping looked at Li Xuan in surprise.

Li Xuan nodded slowly and said: "These children from aristocratic families are not young at all. It is impossible to say that they all have marriage contracts at home. Now it is just the princess who is in front. They have one or two greeds. But if these two greeds are destroyed If they fall away, they might go home and get married, and the last remaining ones will be the ones who admire the princess most sincerely."

"Sincerely admire me?" Princess Taiping lowered her head slightly, and she was already a little crazy as she pondered.

"I, the princess of the Li family, naturally deserve to be treated with sincerity by the legitimate son of the best family in the world." Li Xuan sat up straight with an invincible look on her face.

Princess Taiping couldn't help laughing when she saw Li Xuan's appearance.

"Of course, it will only take a little test. Once you sense his heart, His Highness can return to the court and express your feelings to Your Majesty and the Queen." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said with a smile: "But there is something going on, so I need to slow down. After all, I want to I won’t have time to come back until the end of the year, and I don’t want to miss His Highness’s wedding.”

"Thank you, Uncle Wang, for your explanation." Princess Taiping stood up and bowed gently to Li Xuan.

"In this case, I will take my leave." Li Xuan stood up, returned the favor to Princess Taiping, and then slowly retreated.

After watching Li Xuan leave, Princess Taiping breathed a sigh of relief.

With Li Xuan's analysis, Princess Taiping gradually had a clear picture of the future and what she would do in the future.

The originally chaotic and frightening future gradually became clear and controllable under Li Xuan's arrangement, which made Princess Taiping feel at ease all of a sudden.

……

Li Xuan walked into the check-in room with a gentle look and waved everyone away.

Instantly, his face turned cold.

Looking at the empty check-in room in front of him, Li Xuan's right hand couldn't help but touch the hilt of the sword.

There is no need for Li Xuan to shatter the young girl's dream with her own hands.

The more beautiful it is weaved, the person who plans it in the future will be madly hated.

Xue Shao, this poor man, is destined to die.

Only when he dies will Princess Taiping truly grow up and become paranoid.

As for Empress Wu, she would marry someone from the Wu family.

No one from the Wu family is worthy of marrying the princess of my Li family, all of them will die.

Li Xuan's cold expression gradually became gentle.

If Princess Taiping wanted to start participating in the imperial examination, she would have to look for outstanding scholars.

Win over these scholars, and then control Princess Taiping...

Li Xuan looked in the direction of the Daming Palace in the northeast with a slight sneer at the corner of her mouth.

Mother and son kill each other, mother and daughter turn against each other.

Queen!

Li Xuan's eyes calmed down instantly, Xue Shao, Xue Shao.

The legitimate son of Princess Chengyang and the emperor's nephew is also a direct descendant of the Xue family.

Pei Yan is going to die, Xue Shao is going to die, Li Xian is going to be deposed, and brothers Cui Zhiwen and Cui Zhidi are not much better.

Pei family, Xue family, Wei family, Longxi Li family, Zhaojun Li family, Qinghe Cui family, Boling Cui family, Taiyuan royal family.

If even half of the top families in the world dare to stand up against Empress Wu, if someone responds, there will be a storm immediately.

The Zheng family in Xingyang and the Lu family in Fanyang are most likely sitting on the mountain to watch the fight between tigers and tigers.

The Hongnong Yang family, the family of Empress Wu's mother, may be the ones who truly supported Empress Wu at the most critical moment.

It seems that in the next two years, I will find an opportunity to give them a good toss.

……

The situation in the world gradually changed before Li Xuan's eyes.
