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

Chapter 1358 Li Dan was re-established and Li Xian was re-established

With a "squeak" sound, the door of Prince Peng's Mansion opened.

Li Xuan, who was wearing a black fur, stepped out of Prince Peng's Mansion, followed by Lai Sui, but both of them were confused when they saw the situation on the long street.

In one night, three feet of snow fell across Chang'an.

Even now, there are still a lot of snowflakes falling in the dark sky.

"The snow is not over yet." Li Xuan looked up at the sky and said with some worry: "The end of the year is coming soon, and tribute missions from various states and counties are coming to Beijing. If the snow continues, I'm afraid there will be a big disaster. Trouble."

"You can just say that the Ministry of War will dispatch troops to clear the road." Lai Sui gave Li Xuan a funny look.

Princess Peng is about to return to Chang'an, and with such heavy snow now, she will be trapped on the road.

Li Xuan smiled and said: "Originally, it would have been better to contact the Ministry of Industry for this matter, or send someone to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to clean it up, but in the current situation, it is really not appropriate to take too drastic action."

Laisui suddenly became solemn, then nodded and said: "You should be cautious indeed. Well, it's time for me to go on duty. Since I have to clear the snow, I will leave Chang'an for two days."

"That's right, let's avoid the current wind and rain first." Li Xuan nodded and said, "Please drive slowly."

"Yeah!" Laisui cupped his hands, then turned around and rode away.

Li Xuan turned around and returned to the courtyard.

A whole team of black-armored cavalry in the courtyard were packing up, carrying many hot water bottles, medicines, and blankets with them.

Liu Jinyu and the others were returning from Shuzhong when they encountered heavy snowfall.

The adult Li Xuan is not worried, he is worried that the children will catch a cold.

That’s why so many preparations were made.

Li Bi stepped forward, cupped his hands towards Li Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready."

"Let's go." Li Xuan walked towards a black horse, then got on the horse directly.

A whole team of cavalry slowly came out from Prince Peng's Mansion, left Kaihuafang, and finally came out directly from Jinguang Gate.

King Peng left, and the people in the city immediately began to prepare for the whole night.

……

In the long wilderness, the night cavalry trampled on the snow on the official road, slowly heading towards Taibai Town at the foot of Taibai Mountain.

Li Xuan was at the front, dressed in black clothes and armor, no different from the others.

Looking up, the winter snow is too white and bright.

Li Xuan smiled softly. The majestic Taibai Mountain in front of her had nothing to do with that Li Taibai.

The Taibai Mountain in front of us and Aoshan Mountain to the west were named Taibo Mountain and Wugong Mountain respectively during the Zhou Dynasty.

The name Taiyi Mountain was once used in the Han Dynasty. According to rumors, this was the Taoist temple of Taiyi Zhenren.

In the Wei Dynasty, Taiyi Mountain was renamed Taibai Mountain.

"The essence of Venus fell to the west of Zhongnan Guifeng. Its essence transformed the white stone into a beautiful jade, and sometimes it was restored with purple energy, hence its name."

A sentence recorded in "Lu Yi Ji" appeared in Li Xuan's mind, and then two words appeared, "Eat Jade".

Some people say that it is said that the elixir of the Queen Mother of China and the West is actually made from jade.

Therefore, many methods of eating jade have been spread. King Wei of Qi, King Xuan of Qi, Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han all used elixirs refined from jade for a long time.

Wushi Powder is a similar medicine, made of amethyst, stalactite, white quartz, stone sulfur, and red stone resin. The prescription was invented by Zhang Zhongjing.

The most highly regarded one is Ge Hong. It is recorded in "Baopuzi" that if you take jade, your life will become as long as jade.

The cold wind blew, and Li Xuan couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with Pan Shizheng on Songshan Mountain.

Ge Hong once practiced at Baopu Peak in Maoshan Mountain. The alchemy method handed down from Maoshan Mountain may have a lot to do with him.

Li Xuan sighed. Perhaps in ancient times, eating jade could indeed prolong life, but the details of eating jade have been lost.

If there are still people eating jade now, their lives will probably be lost.

At this time, the one who needs to save his life the most is the emperor.

From the current turmoil, it is very obvious that the emperor is already preparing for his death.

But what Li Xuan is more concerned about now is whether the emperor has taken the elixir and still lives longer.

……

Taibai Town, among the inns.

Li Xuan fed a pill to Li Zhizhao, who was a little dazed, and then looked at Liu Jinyu and said: "Fortunately, it didn't take long to distribute the medicine. My husband came in time, and nothing will happen. As for , Erlang, Sanlang, Silang, Wulang, and Xia'er, each have a bowl of ginger soup. At dawn tomorrow, we will return to Chang'an, and the road should be cleared. "

"Yes!" Liu Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "I am here to take care of Zhao'er, Xia'er and Ming'er, while my husband goes to see the other children." "Okay." Li Xuan held Liu Jinyu's hand. He said softly: "In the next few days, I will spend more time with you and Tong'er. After next spring, I will take Dou'er and Siniang to Fanzhou together. During this time in Chang'an, it is better for the family to have fewer people."

Liu Jinyu nodded slightly. Although his expression was a little gloomy, he still nodded and said, "That's how it should be."

Li Xuan reached out to hug her and said softly: "This time the King of Yue is plotting rebellion. On the surface, it seems that someone revealed His Majesty's physical condition, which made Li Chong, the son of the King of Yue, the king of Langya, have an idea in his mind, and then used King Cao Li Ming and the chief historian of the King of Yue Xiao Decong. , Xiao Guan, the son of Xiao Dezhao, the minister of war, and Yang Shangui, the king of Cao, joined the army and connected with each other. "

"On the surface?" Liu Jinyu frowned and asked, "Aren't the Xiao family and the Yang family secretly making moves?"

"No, the Xiao family and the Yang family were pushed to the forefront. In fact, it was the aristocratic family that was moved. The aristocratic family tried to use an unsuccessful conspiracy to weaken His Majesty's authority. Especially His Majesty's health was uneasy. Someone was deliberately creating a situation where His Majesty could not control it. Li Xuan thoroughly characterized this rebellion.

Liu Jinyu nodded slightly and said, "This is not uncommon. This kind of thing has always happened."

"This is also a test for the prince. If you misunderstand what others say and make wrong judgments, you will be in trouble." Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Yang Guang's old story." Liu Jinyu said carefully in a low voice.

"Yeah!" Li Xuan nodded slightly, looking worried.

At that time, Yang Jian deposed the crown prince Yang Yong and made Yang Guang the crown prince. However, within a few years, Yang Jian became ill in the palace.

There was nothing to do, but the emperor was seriously ill. Minister Zuopu She Yang Su, Minister of War Liu Shu, and Huangmen Minister Yuan Yan all came to the palace to attend to the illness.

However, Yang Guang was suspicious and communicated with Yang Su privately. At this time, the messenger made a mistake and Yang Su's reply fell into the hands of Yang Jian.

Yang Jian was extremely angry after seeing this, and at dawn, Yang Guang molested Yang Jian's concubine.

In an instant, Yang Jian gave the order and determined to depose the prince.

But unfortunately, just when he was recruiting people to draft the imperial edict, Yang Guang led his troops into Renshou Palace.

According to historical records, "Rushang collapsed".

……

"What happened to Yang Guang back then, no one knows whether someone took advantage of Yang Jian's serious illness to instigate conflicts between Yang Guang and Yang Jian, forcing Yang Jian to depose the crown prince, or whether it was because Yang Guang couldn't wait to direct and act in the scene, but in the end , Yang Guang is victorious, Yang Jian is dead, if anyone tries to sow discord between His Majesty and the Crown Prince at this time, I am afraid there will be another chaos. "

Li Xuan sighed softly, even though Li Xian was already the prince, as long as Li Zhi changed his mind, he could be deposed as the prince even at the last moment.

It is possible to re-establish Li Dan or re-establish Li Xian.

Although there are not many of Li Xian's cronies in the past, those who have served in official positions and those who have been exiled in recent years, in the court, and most of them are even those who oppose him.

But if the emperor's imperial edict is really announced in the court, it will be a foregone conclusion and it will be difficult to change it.

"So the deposed prince will eventually leave the palace." Liu Jinyu raised her head and looked at Li Xuan.

"After the King of Yue rebelled, my husband would no longer stop me. Not to mention that after my husband left Pengzhou this time, Chang Shi might have taken people to the prince's place of exile to check. All threatening people and forces have been eliminated. "

Li Xuan shook her head and said: "Your Majesty has made a decision, and no one can stop it."

"What if something happens to the deposed prince in the future?"

"Then he can only blame himself for his bad luck. As a husband, he can only pay attention to the court." Li Xuan shook his head, looked in the direction of Chang'an, and said softly: "In fact, in comparison, the prince is kind and not so messy. If it really comes to a critical moment, Your Majesty may be even more worried about the Prime Minister."

"Prince Xiang?" Liu Jinyu sat up slightly, looked at Li Xuan in surprise, and said, "Why is he the Prime Minister? Hasn't the Prime Minister always been very law-abiding?"

"It happened last night." Li Xuan whispered what happened to Xiao Xian and Li Sichong last night, and then continued: "Wu Chengsi left unluckily, so in order to balance the situation of the court, His Majesty will definitely have to deal with someone from a certain family. The minister or the prime minister took action, but he didn’t know who it was. His eyes were so keen that he immediately focused on the right minister. "

After a slight pause, Li Xuan continued: "My husband's guess is that His Majesty may have done it. After all, everyone agrees. Zhao Guogong was very passive because of Zhaojun Li's affair with the Turks. In addition, he was too mercurial, so for a while It's natural to touch him with hands and feet... But what if it's not His Majesty? "

"Prince Xiang?" Liu Jinyu's voice was very soft, but his breathing was heavy.

"Perhaps His Majesty is still the one who did it secretly, but if the Prime Minister knows this and quietly adds fuel to the flames, everything will be hard to say." Li Xuan shook her head and said: "When it comes to this kind of thing now, there is no trace of error. No."

There was a question in Li Xuan's mind that he still couldn't figure out, that was why Pei Yan wanted to abolish Li Xian.

Even if Li Xianzhen said nonsense like giving up the throne to Wei Xuanzhen, even if he really wanted to appoint Wei Xuanzhen as prime minister, Pei Yan had many other feasible options except deposing the emperor in the face of the world's disapproval.

For example, they united with other prime ministers to resist and persuaded Wei Xuanzhen to withdraw voluntarily. Even if Li Xianzhen finally appointed Wei Xuanzhen as prime minister, they could control it through various means.

But Pei Yan chose the path that he should have chosen least. With his intelligence, he should have known that even if he succeeded in deposing Li Xian, he would be infamy for the ages.

Huo Guang is a precedent.

Therefore, from the death of Li Zhi to the deposed Li Xian, a lot of things happened here.

There are many things that are not recorded in history books, but after finally peeling off all the layers, a new figure emerged in Li Xuan's heart.

Li Dan.

As long as Li Dan's sworn guarantee, coupled with Pei Yan being forced too hard by Li Xian, and finally the operation of the North Gate bachelor, and Empress Wu's approval, things can be done.

"His Majesty has begun to prepare for things after his death. He has adjusted the prime ministers and exiled Li Xian. These are just a few of them. But I don't know if your Majesty will see the threat from the Prime Minister." Li Xuan's expression became solemn.

Liu Jinyu approached Li Xuan and asked in a low voice: "What do you plan to do, husband?"
