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

Chapter 1235 The prince should be allowed to take charge of the secret guard

The candlelight was bright and the house was cold.

Li Xuan sat at the side of the round table and drank tea calmly.

There were noisy sounds coming from the other courtyard. Li Xuan didn't raise her head, just waiting quietly.

Finally, the familiar footsteps sounded outside the door.

Queen Subi, wearing a purple skirt, has appeared in front of the door, with a calm face and indifferent eyes.

"Why did Madam only allow one person to be arrested?" Li Xuan raised her head, her eyes cold and sharp, as if she looked directly into the heart of Queen Subi.

"That man is the secret guard captain, my superior, and the person who monitors me." Queen Su Pi walked into the room, stood opposite Li Xuan, and leaned over slightly.

The weird flavor in her voice before completely disappeared at this moment, leaving only a mouthful of northwest emphasis.

"Boss." Li Xuan pondered these two words in her mouth, and it could be seen that his words just now had stirred the deepest chord in Queen Subi's heart.

This is of course not freedom, but desire.

The desire to control power.

……

Li Xuan looked past Queen Subi to the night sky in the distance, and said softly: "Tonight, Wang Shilang has led the guards of Luoche Road to arrest people related to Tubo and Lun Qinling in the town. A suspicious person was also found next to Madam, who attacked the guards and was then surrounded and killed."

Queen Subi fell silent, then smiled and said: "I thought the prince wanted me to kill someone myself, and I will feel relieved only after I submit a certificate of surrender."

"It seems that the secret guard has studied this king thoroughly enough." Li Xuan looked to the side, stretched out his hand to hold the white porcelain tea cup, and rotated it slightly.

"Your Majesty has always liked heart-breaking methods. Someone from the Secret Guard once said that Your Majesty should be in charge of the Secret Guard." Queen Subi raised her head and looked at Li Xuan with a deep look in her eyes.

Li Xuan had done this kind of thing more than once, especially when she was in Wuzhou.

After arriving in the northwest, this method was used less often. The most recent one was "The Tang Dynasty's Appeal to Tubo".

Li Xuan narrowed her eyes slightly and looked deeply at Queen Subi: "It seems that you have stayed in the secret guard longer than I expected."

"Not long ago, the secret guards were looking for the descendants of Queen Subi in Monan the year before last. Unfortunately, the descendants of Queen Subi were dead. I happened to know the descendants of the queen, so the secret guard commander Wang Yinke brought me back to Chang'an. , after only two months of training, he was sent to Subi." Queen Subi told her origins.

Wang Yinke is another new name.

After Qiu Shenji, Ming Chongyan, Yuan Wanqing, and Su Liangsi, another deputy commander of the Secret Guard emerged.

Of course, there is also Zhao Gong, but he is Li Xuan's uncle and would never target Li Xuan.

The other Qiu Shenji and Ming Chongyan have all died in Li Xuan's hands.

Yuan Wanqing was stripped of his secret guard duties, while Su Liangsi was easily won over by Li Xuan into his camp.

Su Liangsi has invested too much energy in the East Palace now. Once Li Xian is deposed, Su Liangsi will also be severely hit.

Therefore, if something happened to Li Xian, Su Liangsi would definitely resist.

Now another Wang Yinke appeared, and Li Xuan didn't even know how many talented people from poor families Empress Wu had gathered among the secret guards.

After withdrawing her thoughts, Li Xuan looked at Queen Subi, nodded slightly, and said: "It can be seen that they arranged you like this, and they were not targeting me at the beginning."

"Forget it. At that time, the secret guard commander said that Queen Subi's descendants are dead anyway, so just find anyone. Anyway, with the support of the Tang Dynasty army, who dares to say otherwise." Queen Subi It was eerily peaceful.

"That's right. The Tang Dynasty said that you are Queen Subi, and you are Queen Subi. Whoever says otherwise will die." Li Xuan's calm eyes revealed a hint of unspeakable domineering.

Queen Subi fell silent, then looked at Li Xuan, slightly blessed: "May I ask your lord, when did you realize that I am not a descendant of Queen Subi?"

"Do you still remember the half year you spent in the Changzhou Governor's Mansion?" Li Xuan suddenly said.

Queen Subi was slightly surprised, that was when she had just arrived in the northwest.

"Remember, at that time, the prince found many local party members and immigrants from Supi to tell them how cruelly Supi had been treated by the Tubo people in recent years. It was also at that time that I learned more about Supi. Love..." Queen Subi suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Xuan in disbelief: "The prince is saying that at that time, the prince already knew that I was a fake Queen Subi?"

Li Xuan smiled softly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said: "You first arrived on the plateau, first in Qugou, and you were sick for more than ten days. Do you remember?"

"Remember, it's plateau miasma." Queen Subi looked at Li Xuan cautiously.

"The real Queen Supi, a descendant of the Supi people who have lived on the plateau for generations, will not suffer from plateau disorder." Li Xuan's words directly exposed the most difficult point in Queen Supi's heart. Li Xuan even said Before I saw her, I had already found out that she was not Queen Subi.

"Later, when you attacked Qamdo, although you tried your best to behave appropriately, in fact, you showed flaws in many aspects. Many generals in Luo Xu Dao noticed that there was something wrong with you. They just didn't know. Are you just a chosen replacement, or do you have another mission?" Li Xuan raised her eyes, half-smiling.

Queen Su Pi's face turned ugly for a moment, but she finally looked at Li Xuan, cupped her hands and said, "I have another mission."

"Sit down." Li Xuan waved her hand and said, "I think your mission should be to get close to me and find out everything about me." "Yes!" Queen Subi sat down, then bowed slightly and said, "Alright. Yes, the prince’s strategy of winning every battle?”

"Victory in every battle?" Li Xuan was slightly dazed, and then asked curiously: "When did this king get such a title?"

"Your Majesty has never been defeated since he became an official. The secret guard has always wanted to explore the root cause." Queen Subi looked at Li Xuan deeply.

Li Xuan's heart couldn't help but jump. He said that in recent times, Empress Wu had taken very few actions against him.

Originally, he thought that it was because of the emperor that Empress Wu had to restrain herself, but now it seemed that Empress Wu's actions were all under the water.

……

Li Xuan sighed softly and said: "There is no strategy for winning every battle. What I have is just soldiers under my command who dare to fight to the death, and weapons and crossbows that are much better than those of the Tubo people. After that, it will be a game of meeting on a narrow road and the brave will win." That’s all.”

Queen Subi lowered her head and said softly: "There is something that the prince may not know."

"You said?" Li Xuan became curious.

"Just a month ago, the Duke of Wenxi County and the Turks were in a confrontation on the grassland. They were camping in the middle of the night. The Duke of Wenxi County suddenly ordered his soldiers to withdraw from the camp, and even retreated five miles back." Queen Subi raised her head and looked at Li Xuan , said with an extremely solemn expression: "The Turks pursued them all night long. At this moment, a heavy rain fell suddenly, and the water where they originally camped was more than ten feet deep. The Turks who came after them immediately fell into the swamp. "

Li Xuan leaned forward slightly, her eyes became sharp for a moment, and she asked directly: "Why is there no such matter in the official documents of the Central Government?"

"If it were the prince, would he let this matter spread?" Queen Subi immediately asked in response.

Li Xuan couldn't help but pause, and then sighed softly.

"This kind of ability, even if it is not to call the wind and rain, is definitely the ability to clearly understand the weather and take advantage of it. There are probably only three people in the court who can do this." Every word Queen Subi said was among the inner guards. top secret content.

"Three people, which three people?" Li Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"Three people, the prince, the Duke of Wenxi County, and the Duke of Lecheng County." Queen Subi looked at Li Xuan deeply, then shook her head and said: "The secret guard once checked that when the prince was in Wuzhou, the prince He has already shown his ability to take advantage of wind and rain, so the secret guard dismissed the possibility that it was Zuo Xiang who was preaching to the prince."

"Is this what the secret guard asked you to investigate?" Li Xuan's mind changed slightly and she looked at Queen Subi.

Queen Subi couldn't help but feel a little excited, and finally nodded and said: "Yes, explore this point, get close to the prince, and then monitor the prince."

"You?" Li Xuan shook her head in a funny way and said, "It's true that you can get close to me, but if you want to monitor me, you can only..."

"Follow the prince to Tubo." Queen Subi said the words directly.

Everything clicked, but everything changed later.

"Tubo, Tubo." Li Xuan raised his head and looked to the south of Tanggula Mountain, and then looked at the pretty Queen Subi, and said softly: "Having said so much, you should understand that once you arrive in Tubo, you will send it to Chang'an. Any news must be approved by the king."

"I am willing." Queen Su Pi bowed her head deeply, then raised her head decisively, looked at Li Xuan and said, "I believe that the prince can bring more to me than the secret guard."

Rights, Queen Suvi wants rights.

Compared to being a pawn among the Secret Guards, who is not even a captain, the identity of Queen Subi brings her more unbelievable things.

Even if she is just a little queen from a foreign country, she is much more glorious than a secret guard.

Especially in the future, if she is still among the secret guards, she will inevitably shed her identity as Queen Subi and return to a dark and shady environment.

For a woman who has not truly tasted the power of the secret guards, this kind of torture will drive her crazy.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Once Tubo is successfully captured, everything in Tubo will be decided by me. Even if you live in the Tubo palace, no one will dare to say no, but if you really want something substantial, Things, then you have to think carefully, what can you give me?"

Now two people are standing in this room. No matter what happened before or what will happen next, it is just the foundation of trust between the two.

If you want to go further and get something substantial, you need to give yourself and give the other party something of real value.

Queen Subi lowered her head, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "What I can do is to assist the king and prevent the secret invasion of the secret guards."

After saying that, Queen Subi took out a book of this chapter from her sleeve and handed it over, and then said seriously: "All the secret guards' arrangements in Changzhou are here."

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "How did you get this thing?"

"I am also a member of the Secret Guard." Queen Subi bowed her head.

"Since your boss is dead, you will naturally be responsible for taking over everything for the time being. How should the DPRK respond?"

"Everything is as ordered." Queen Subi bowed again and said, "Everything done by the secret guard in Changzhou, I will be crucified for the king in the future."

"can."
