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

Chapter 1327 The emperor’s layout and the long history of King Peng

It's a quiet night in the study room of Prince Peng's Mansion.

Two maids in green clothes walked ahead, holding lanterns in their hands, and walked lightly to the door of the study.

Liu Jinyu, wearing a pink undershirt, walked among the four maids, and finally stopped in front of the study door.

The two black-clothed guards guarding the door gently released their sword-holding hands and bowed slightly to Liu Jinyu, but still looked straight ahead.

Liu Jinyu turned around and looked at the four maids in green clothes behind her, and said, "You all go down."

"Yes!" The four maids bowed at the same time, and then quietly exited the courtyard.

Liu Jinyu then pushed the door forward, and everything in the study suddenly became clear.

Under the bright candlelight, Li Xuan was sitting behind the pear wood desk, writing something.

Li Bi sat next to him on one side, holding a drawing in his hand and sketching on it.

Li Xuan glanced at the drawings from time to time, then lowered his head to calculate. The rice paper under his hand was already filled with dense numbers.

Only when Liu Jinyu entered the door did he look up, then lowered his head again and continued to calculate.

Liu Jinyu turned around and closed the door, walked to Li Xuan's left side, glanced at the numbers above, and asked curiously: "What are you thinking about, husband?"

"Industries that can be classified as Pengzhou Prince City." Li Xuan put down her fine pen and looked up at Li Bi.

Li Bi put down the drawings, stood up, bowed to Liu Jinyu, and walked out of the study quickly.

……

The door was closed again, leaving only Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and gave way to the left, allowing Liu Jinyu to sit down. Then she brought over the drawings and rice paper.

"After the palace is opened, Uncle Yu, Li Bi, Li Mo, Li Zhu, and Li Yan will all work part-time in the palace." Li Xuan paused for a moment and said: "My husband originally thought that your majesty would let Mr. Zhang be the head of Prince Peng's palace. History, but looking at the situation now, His Majesty has changed his mind.”

"General Youwei." Liu Jinyu understood immediately.

Li Xuan nodded and sighed: "His Majesty did not intend to make your husband a Right Guard General at first, but later he changed his mind for unknown reasons.

Not only were her husband given many rewards, but Zhang Qianxu and Cheng Wuting were also transferred back to the palace as generals of the imperial guards, and Duke Jiang was directly appointed as general of the imperial guards. "

Liu Jinyu's eyes suddenly jumped, and then she said: "My husband, do you think your Majesty is planning something at this time?"

Liu Jinyu said the last two words very low, and she was obviously frightened.

Li Xuan nodded and said softly: "When I think about His Majesty's various rewards today, I always feel like I am re-arranging them, as if there is a dense network covering them, trying to catch some big fish."

"What kind of big fish is that?"

Said: "Logically speaking, the more at this time, the more your Majesty wants to eliminate some people and things that threaten the Crown Prince, but His Majesty's current methods are not like several prime ministers, six ministers, sixteen generals, Even the Queen of Heaven... still obeys His Majesty, so there is no threat. "

Liu Jinyu remained silent and frowned tightly.

"Although Pei Yan is a strong man, the Queen and the Wei family will not let him go too far to balance his husband. Besides, for the sake of the world, it is not a bad thing for Prime Minister Pei to be stronger. And if His Majesty really has feelings for Prime Minister Pei You can think of deposing him or even letting him become an official, so why bother?" Li Xuan frowned.

"Even Aweng is preparing to retire, who else is there in the court?" Liu Jinyu looked ugly.

Li Xuan fell silent. In fact, after Zhao Renben took office yesterday, Liu Rengui had to start preparing to submit the memorial.

But the emperor kept Zhao Renben, which made Liu Rengui hesitate to submit his official memorial.

The emperor did not want Zhao Renben to become an official, nor did he want Liu Rengui to become an official, at least not now.

Sympathy for veterans is just a way of saying it to the outside world.

If the emperor wants someone to serve, no one can resist.

Not to mention, he still has Empress Wu's sword.

Empress Wu...

Li Xuan's eyes jumped, and then she shook her head.

Although he knew that Empress Wu had ulterior motives, to be honest, although Empress Wu now had huge power in the court, if the forces of all parties were to be checked and balanced according to the emperor's design, Empress Wu would have no chance.

But no one could have imagined that there was a fatal flaw in Li Zhi's almost perfect design.

That is Li Xian.

Li Xian was weak, and this weakness was seen by Pei Yan, and Empress Wu also saw it.

Something must have happened, but what exactly happened, Li Xuan had no idea.

Maybe it's not even recorded in the history books.

But Li Zhi's design collapsed, which Li Zhi didn't expect.

Li Xuan is still fully supporting Li Xian, and even brought Su Liangsi over to guide Li Xian.

The other Xue Yuanchao and Yao Lingzhang did not have many useful things to teach Li Xian.

So in the end, the only people who could support Li Xian were Su Liangsi, Li Xuan, Lu Yuanfang, Di Renjie, Yao Chong, and Song Jing.

As for how long the results will last, Li Xuan is not sure. He can only delay Li Xian's reign as much as possible.

Use Li Xian's time in office to consume the strength of others.

This will make it easier for him to "rectify chaos".

The emperor can't see these now, what exactly is he planning.

..."Since His Majesty has a plan, he will not let us see through it easily. All we can do is to tighten our own fence to prevent others from easily infiltrating and snooping." Li Xuan's face was cold and determined.

Liu Jinyu nodded, there were indeed some things in the palace that the palace should not know.

"Originally, my husband thought that this long history would be Mr. Zhang. Although many things were arranged in advance, there were still some flaws in the end." Li Xuan looked at the paper on the desk, shook her head gently and said, "Now that it is not Mr. Zhang, , then these things need to be sorted out to avoid flaws being discovered.”

When a stranger enters the house and has to make a very important long history, everyone must be vigilant.

If left unchecked, the chief historian would be able to control everything in the house through his authority.

There is no shortage of precedents.

Li Xuan will naturally not let the situation develop to that point. He has his own set of standards, but whether the other party is willing to accept it is another matter.

There must be collision and running-in, but no matter which step he goes to, Li Xuan will not let this person enter his core.

Because this person is too strange.

But he can't do it too fiercely, because there are too many people watching what he does, so the method must be more subtle.

"No matter who the candidate for this long history is, as soon as he takes office, my husband will hand over all the affairs of Prince City to him." Although Li Xuan's expression is still solemn, he is much more relaxed. The handover of five thousand households can be Not an easy thing to do, enough to put it off for a while.

Enough for him to complete all the gaps and fill in the gaps.

After a slight pause, Li Xuan said with a solemn expression: "Next year, my husband will take him to Fanzhou. The business there is business."

If you want to keep an eye on Li Xuan, you have to go to Fanzhou.

Li Xuan's real weakness has never been with herself, but with Liu Jinyu, Zhao'er, Ming'er and Xia'er.

"As soon as I took office, my husband took me to Pengzhou. Wouldn't His Majesty think there would be a problem there?" Liu Jinyu couldn't help but frown.

Li Xuan's thoughts were so obvious that she could see it, let alone others.

Especially the emperor.

"Yao Changshi is going to be the governor of Panzhou, and my husband happens to want to go with him." Li Xuan smiled, then looked at Liu Jinyu and said, "Madam, Dou'er, Tong'er, and Si Niang, all are going to go with us. Go, let the children go too... None of you have been to Prince City, and my mother and concubine haven't been back for several years."

"Prince City." Liu Jinyu nodded yearningly.

Although their family now lives in the capital, the real foundation of King Peng is in Pengzhou.

"In the 10th year of Zhenguan, my father granted me the title of Prince Peng. The late emperor ordered the construction of the Prince's City. The Prince's City occupies a vast area. In addition to housing our residence, there are also official residences of many people who have long history and served in the army, and even a palace belonging to the prince's palace. Five hundred guards, camps, martial arts training grounds, etc." Li Xuan briefly described.

"In other words, when my husband opens his mansion, he actually opens it in Pengzhou." Liu Jinyu understood immediately.

"Yes." Li Xuan nodded and said, "This was approved by the late emperor back then. As my husband's heir, Prince Peng, I naturally took over everything."

The heir king is half the level of a prince and half the level of a county prince. The treatment is the same as that of a prince, but the heirs generally do not have the right to inherit.

But that's someone else. Li Xuan's son Li Zhizhao is now the king of the county. With just one step, he can succeed King Peng.

So within two generations, there is no need to worry about these things.

"And Pengzhou is not far from Panzhou. After Mianzhou and Songzhou, there is Panzhou. Using Panzhou as a transit, you can transit from Changzhou to Qamdo, or you can go directly to Qamdu, but it's just the Dangxiang people who pass through. More territory." Li Xuan's eyes flickered.

From Songpan, you can go up the Yellow River to Maduo, the governor's mansion of Changzhou.

But if the Changzhou Governor's Office is moved north, it will be another matter.

In addition, it is also feasible to go south from Changzhou to the southwest of Shuzhou.

There are too many things that can be done here, and Fanzhou and Shuzhong can be easily connected through Qamdo.

If the new Chang Shi doesn't follow Li Xuan on this trip, he might really miss a lot.

"Husband, have you ever thought that if someone is talented enough, he can handle everything in Pengzhou in a very short time?" Liu Jinyu's straightforward words stunned Li Xuan.

Immediately, he suddenly got excited and said directly: "If this is the case, then this person must be extraordinary and cannot be said to be a prime minister. If this is the case, your Majesty arranged for this person to enter the palace, then it is not for the palace."

"General." Liu Jinyu and Li Xuan said at the same time.

The couple looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

……

"I thought that Your Majesty sent someone into the palace to conduct surveillance, but I didn't expect that he was staring at the position of General Youwei. Now it's difficult." Li Xuan couldn't help but take a breath, this can be Not a simple matter.

There is no doubt that the emperor trusts this person, but it does not mean that this person can really be trusted absolutely.

When the emperor dies and the prince ascends the throne, no one's choice is unfathomable.

If you really trust the wrong person, you may lose your wealth and life in the hands of others.

The emperor's trust does not mean that Li Xuan also has to trust him.

"What should be tested must be tested. Take a look first before talking. As for the rest, you should be on guard against." Li Xuan shook her head and said thoughtfully: "If this is the case, it is impossible for this person to go to Tibet with his husband. After the state is over, he will stay in Chang'an and keep an eye on Youwei. He will hand over all his belongings from the outer palace and keep them in the inner palace. "

When the emperor sent such a person to Li Xuan, he naturally did not point him to Li Xuan to take him to Fanzhou.

It is inevitable to stay in Chang'an, but in the palace, he can only be given things within his authority.

Shi is in charge of the outer palace, Liu Jinyu is in charge of the inner palace, and Li Bi is in charge of the secret palace.

"Your Majesty sent him to keep an eye on the right guard. Why can't we keep an eye on him for Your Majesty? I don't believe that there is anyone whom Your Majesty trusts more than your husband. Then we will just balance each other. I believe Your Majesty means the same." Liu Jin Yu looked sneered.

Li Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, if he wants to move the right guard, it is not enough to rely on the royal palace's long history. He also needs your majesty's imperial edict. If there is no imperial edict, just kill him."
