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

Chapter 1357 Who is most like Dong Zhuo in the world today?

In the dark night sky, heavy snowflakes like goose feathers were falling one after another, as if there was no end.

Li Xuan stood under the eaves, looking at the endless night sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, the doctor has arranged to stay here." Li Bi quietly appeared behind Li Xuan and answered with his hands raised.

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded lightly and said, "He has a special relationship with me, and no one will say anything if he stays in the mansion."

"Is the prince worried that others are plotting against him?" Li Bi directly expressed Li Xuan's worries.

"Well!" Li Xuan sighed softly and said: "Li Sichong returned to the residence of the right prime minister. It is inevitable that the right prime minister will take some action, and Xiao Xian will also take action. I will stay in the residence and do nothing tomorrow. Everyone else will see my attitude clearly."

"The aftermath of what happened this time is enough to kill countless people." Li Bi's voice was very soft.

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with us." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said: "Starting from tomorrow, we will organize people to go to Taibai County. The princess took Chencang Road. Although she encountered wind and snow this time, it was better than the last time she went back and walked Ziwu The Tao is much better."

"Yes." Li Bi nodded lightly, with a look of luck on his face.

Although Chencang Road is a long way round, it is more stable.

If we take the steep Ziwu Road this time, we might fall into the mountains and no one will know.

Not to mention, the people who purged Wu Chengsi this time were closer to Ziwu Road.

"Going for a walk can also avoid the turmoil in Chang'an City." Li Xuan smiled softly and said: "Wu Chengsi is going to be demoted this time. Before leaving, he might go crazy. If he accidentally encounters It’s going to be a lot of trouble.”

Li Bi fell silent, and after a moment, he spoke: "Your Majesty, can you really kill Wu Chengsi this time?"

Li Xuan's face became solemn, she raised her head, looked into the dark night, nodded slightly, and said: "This time, his ambitions have been exposed too much. He controls the black market and connects with the major families in Chang'an. Once something happens, he will immediately threaten him. Prince, become the next He Jin.”

He Jin, a general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the brother of Empress He, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and the uncle of the Young Emperor Liu Bian of the Han Dynasty.

After the death of Emperor Ling, the Young Emperor came to the throne, and the Queen Mother came to the court. He Jin and Yuan Wei assisted in the government and arbitrarily ruled the government.

As time went on, He Jin was deceived by Yuan Wei and joined forces to kill the eunuchs. Later, he transferred Yuan's old subordinate and Bingzhou Shepherd Dong Zhuo to Beijing to threaten the Queen Mother.

Unfortunately, He Jin's conspiracy was revealed and he was assassinated by the eunuch.

Afterwards, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and the world was in chaos.

Today's Wu Chengsi, in Li Xuan's eyes, no, in the eyes of the emperor, is almost equal to the next He Jin.

He is too ambitious, too greedy, too closely connected with the major families in Chang'an and Luoyang, and he is not smart enough. Once something happens, he will immediately be confused by the family like He Jin. Li Zhi doesn't want to see Li Xian He became like the Young Emperor of Han, who was deposed and then killed.

Li Zhi would not let such a person live.

The only thing waiting for him now is a reasonable excuse to let him die.

The more ferocious Wu Chengsi makes in Chang'an now, the more people will be suspected of killing him after his death in the future.

Wu Chengsi is dead.

Candlelight flickered in the room behind, snowflakes fell, and Li Xuan's eyes became more and more faint.

Wu Chengsi was one of the biggest helpers for Empress Wu to become emperor, and his importance was far greater than that of Wu Sansi.

The king of Liang is a common man.

Of course, this is Di Renjie's judgment after experiencing countless ups and downs, but we can also see many of Wu Sansi's qualities. As long as the arrangement is targeted, it is not difficult to manipulate Wu Sansi, and the situation suddenly becomes much easier.

It's a pity that there are too many children of the Wu family, otherwise Li Xuan really wouldn't mind trying to trap them all one by one.

"How did Wu Chengsi go? Back then, He Jin introduced Dong Zhuo, and in the end, Queen He was poisoned. It's okay for Your Majesty to think so now, but I'm afraid that the Queen will think so too." Li Xuan stretched out her hand.

In the endless night sky, the cold snowflakes fell directly into Li Xuan's hands and melted.

"If the Queen of Heaven thinks so, then Duke Zhou will naturally be dead." Li Bi cupped his hands and asked in a low voice: "Then who in the world is most like Dong Zhuo?"

"It's hard to say that before Dong Zhuo rebelled, he was a humble man, good at chivalry, fierce and resourceful in battles, and made many military exploits. Finally, he was conquered by Situ Yuan Kui and served as the governor of Bingzhou and the governor of Hedong. He became a close confidant of the Yuan family. After being able to successfully enter Chang'an, even the Yuan family probably didn't expect that it would be Dong Zhuo who finally killed the entire Yuan Wei family. "

Li Xuan sighed softly and said: "Now that the army of the Sixteenth Guards is guarding the country, it will be extremely difficult for anyone to do what Dong Zhuo did, let alone His Majesty's bravery and the Crown Prince's benevolence. All the generals in the world will surrender. Those who disobey are almost Yu Wu.”

"Then why is Your Majesty still worried?" Li Bi raised his head and asked.

Li Xuan fell silent, sighed and said, "Because the one who is most like Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is not His Majesty, but the Crown Prince."

Prince, Li Bi couldn't help but look back and think about Li Xian's temperament, and finally lowered his head.

"Tell our people to stop during this period. Some people will be unlucky, and they will inevitably suspect that someone else framed them. If they become suspicious, they will be in a dilemma of life and death." Li Xuan turned sideways and looked at Li Bi, her expression becoming solemn.

"Yes!" Li Bi bowed seriously with a stern look on his face. No one knew better than him how much they had done during this period of time.

"One more thing, who do you think is the person who secretly instigated Dou Sitai to come forward this time?" Li Xuan turned and walked towards the house.

Li Bi quickly followed, and after thinking for a while, he said: "On the surface, it seems to be Dou Shangshu. It seems that the Dou family and the Xiao family are connected, but it is also possible that the Beimen bachelor is taking advantage of the situation, or it may be the Prime Minister. If If the Prime Minister is implicated in this matter, then this matter will probably be even more endless."

"But..." Li Xuan sat down behind the desk and looked up at Li Bi, knowing that he had not finished speaking.

"But we all know that it is easy for young people to have random thoughts, and then be instigated by someone with intentions to take action." Li Bi raised his head and looked at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan shook his head directly and said, "We didn't do it, because even I didn't think through the pros and cons. Only your Majesty knows who your Majesty is going to attack." "Your Majesty?" Li Bi heard it instantly. Li Xuan's subtext.

"In His Majesty's way of balancing, if Wu Chengsi falls, he will inevitably find someone to replace him, but no matter who he finds, it will take a long time to regain Wu Chengsi's influence, so the key to the other side is It is inevitable for the characters to take action.”

Li Xuan pondered for a moment and counted in detail: "Dou Xuande, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Cui Zhidi, the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, Cui Zhiwen, the minister of Huangmen, Liu Shenli, the Minister of Internal Affairs, and Li Jingxuan, the right servant of the Minister. Who is the emperor's mind on? I can't wait for a while. I didn’t even understand, how could I do it?”

"So it is your Majesty." Li Bi nodded lightly. As soon as the emperor saw their method, he immediately imitated it. This method was too fast.

"Actually, if we carefully calculate, it is inevitable that the right prime minister will be dismissed, because among all the prime ministers, his foundation is the least stable. He was already implicated in the incident in Hebei Province, but it was his decisive cutting that allowed him to save the prime minister in the end. Now that the family is in chaos again, His Majesty's first target is naturally him. "

Li Xuan sneered lightly, and then said: "Of all the comparisons, the reputation of the right prime minister is the worst. Not to mention the joint clan with the Li family of Zhao County, his three wives were all from Shandong noble families. No other prime minister in the court can compare with him. "If he is dismissed as prime minister, no one in the court will be dissatisfied."

Li Bi nodded in agreement. Li Jingxuan seemed to have a solid foundation through three wives, but with such a foundation, it would be easy to get involved when something happened.

He had three wives, all of whom came from famous families. There was also one person in history. This person was Sima Yi's eldest son, Sima Shi.

Compared to his younger brother Sima Zhao, Master Sima was the one who really dominated the entire Sima family. Unfortunately, he died earlier.

The emperor is the most proficient in history books. As long as he thinks about Master Sima, Li Jingxuan will not end well.

……

"Tell our people that we can put aside the matters in Chang'an and Luoyang for the time being. Things outside Chang'an and Luoyang must be dealt with ruthlessly, and those that cannot be obtained must be completely destroyed. Wu Chengsi's things must not be made to think twice. Inherit." Li Xuan's expression suddenly became fierce.

"Yes!" Li Bi accepted the order, and then said: "This move will inevitably attract the attention of the Queen. Afterwards, should our people hide for a while?"

"Don't be too deliberate, as long as you don't get caught." Li Xuan smiled softly and said: "If the right prime minister is really removed this time, the wealthy families in the government and the opposition will inevitably take action to retaliate. By that time , both sides can’t take care of us.”

Although there was a tacit understanding between the upper echelons of the family and the emperor regarding the struggle for power, the fighting between the lower echelons was without any sense or logic.

Leaving Chang'an and Luoyang, the emperor's sight will drop greatly.

Although Empress Wu was in charge of the Secret Guard, she still relied more on the emperor's power. Without the support of the emperor's power, Empress Wu's vision would be much narrower.

In particular, this kind of fighting often occurs in fields far away from cities, making it difficult for even the government to monitor.

Of course, the continuous loss of control will definitely make Empress Wu realize that something is wrong, but the current situation is still worth the risk for Li Xuan.

"Tell the people in the house that in the recent period, don't go out if you can. Who knows who will fish in troubled waters." Li Xuan warned again.

"Here!" Li Bi bowed and then retreated.

The moment he left, out of the corner of his eye, Li Bi saw Li Xuan sitting behind the desk and starting to write something.

Taking a deep breath, Li Bi strode out with a solemn expression.

Although the current situation seems chaotic, it is actually very clear.

Especially for the future, I am very lucky.

When an emperor dies of illness, it is always the time when most people die.

Countless people want to speculate, and countless people want to go further. The changes in this are far beyond what a pair of eyes can see clearly.

Prince Peng's Mansion has many secret powers, many of which are even beyond Li Bi's sight.

In the past, because Li Xuan fought against Tubo, many of these forces were transferred to the northwest.

Although the northwest is now stable, many of these forces have been transferred back to Chang'an and Luoyang.

……

In the study, Li Xuan put down the thin bamboo brush and waited until the small words on the paper were dry before putting it into the small bamboo tube.

In this matter, Li Xuan actually intervened much earlier than anyone thought, but it was not Li Xuan's plan that Prince Yue's palace started to take action.

In fact, even he had a somewhat passive influence.

Many of the original small tricks had to be passively exposed.

Fortunately, his hands and feet were always deep, so he didn't let others catch the target of doubting him.

Looking back carefully now, in the seemingly absurd move of the Yue King's rebellion, many people were plotted.

Li Xuan, and the Aristocratic Family, they were actually plotted against.

The King of Yue conspired to rebel. At this time, he was far from being fully prepared. Even the King of Yue himself knew nothing about these things.

Therefore, there is only one real calculation and promoter behind this matter, and that is the emperor.

The emperor is planning for the future.

As for the King of Yue, this guy who is useless in life and death, it is better to die first.

But will the emperor kill him?
How to kill?
