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

Chapter 1389 Wu Sansi: He is finally gone

The black paper was erected high, and countless figures merged into the crowd like ants.

Finally, go straight out of the west gate and outside the Jinguang Gate.

Countless figures were hiding in the darkness, watching quietly, watching the departure of King Peng, the God of Plague.

Outside the golden gate, Li Xian stood on the side of the avenue, under the yellow cover, watching the black crowd heading into the distance.

Li Xuan, dressed in black clothes and armor with an indifferent expression, walked slowly from the crowd.

The cold sword hung on the side of the horse, and the black sword hung at his hand. Then the black figure turned over and dismounted.

"Your Highness!" Li Xuan looked solemn and bowed.

"Uncle Wang!" Li Xian smiled lightly and looked relaxed.

……

"Your Highness doesn't have to come today." Li Xuan's eyes fell behind Li Xian. Except for Liu Rengui and Xue Yuanchao, all the officials in the East Palace who could come were basically there.

Even Di Renjie, Yang Zhirou and Lu Yuanfang came.

Li Xian smiled and said: "Fanzhou is newly established, and there are different governance methods. I have seen Uncle Wang's battle methods for many years, and now I want to see Uncle Wang's governance methods."

Li Xuan cupped his hands and said with a wry smile: "I have also thought hard about it, but in the end, local governance is still above the four words of food, clothing, housing and transportation. In addition, there are etiquette, science and criminal law. I can only do my best in this, and I can only take my time in other matters. ”

Li Xian nodded slowly, looking thoughtful.

After all, not to mention Fanzhou or other places in the Tang Dynasty, just the people of Chang'an were running around for food, clothing, housing and transportation every day.

In the final analysis, the governance of the imperial court, including etiquette, science, and criminal laws, was also to maintain the order of the people's clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

By doing this, a foundation for governance will be established.

At this moment, Li Xian had a clear understanding of the many official documents about people's livelihood that he had read.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang, for your advice." Li Xian earnestly handed over his hand.

Li Xuan responded with a smile: "This is my duty. This time I leave Chang'an, the chief historian will be responsible for all matters in the palace. If your highness has something to do, you can directly summon the chief historian to the East Palace. He can represent me in all matters."

Li Xian looked at Li Zhaode, who was standing behind, wearing a scarlet robe, and nodded slightly.

Li Zhaode bowed with his hands in hand.

Li Xian could see that Li Xuan had enough trust in Li Zhaode during this period of time.

Even though the incident in Pengzhou had happened, after that incident, Li Zhaode still gained Li Xuan's trust. After all, he was a member of the emperor and a member of the clan.

……

"It's a long way to go." Li Xian waved to the side.

Su Liangsi immediately came forward with a tray, and the two golden cups on it were already full of wine.

Li Xian picked up the wine glass and handed a glass of wine to Li Xuan at the same time, saying: "Although this trip is not difficult, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Uncle Wang cherishes it very much. I look forward to seeing you again at the end of the year."

"Your Highness, take this very seriously." Li Xuan raised the glass, drank it down in one gulp, then took a step back and gave a deep salute to Li Xian, who nodded slightly.

Li Xuan stood up, then raised her hands and looked in all directions.

Lu Yuanfang, Di Renjie, but unfortunately Qin Ming is not here.

But others like Yang Zhirou, Yao Chong, Song Jing, Lai Sui, He Yiqiu, Yang Jiong, Song Zhiwen, Du Shenyan, Lu Zhaolin, Lu Zangyong, Bi Gou and others are all here.

Li Xuan bowed deeply and saluted solemnly.

Everyone returned the favor at the same time.

With this gift, no matter what happens in Prince Peng's house in the future, they will have to take care of it.

Li Xuan didn't hesitate anymore and immediately got on the horse.

He turned sideways and nodded to Li Xian. The next moment, the tall black horse was galloping away with Li Xuan.

Li Xian stood under the yellow cover and watched Li Xuan go away.

At the end of the line of sight in the distance, another black trend also gathered under the banner.

Three thousand Luozhidao cavalry quickly followed the black tide and headed west.

Countless people fell silent under the city wall, and one person on the wall also fell silent.

Wearing a scarlet robe, he has a tall figure and a cold expression.

Secretary Supervisor, Duke Dang, Wu Sansi.

After a long time, when he saw Li Xian's prince's chariot and all the ministers from the East Palace returning, Wu Sansi finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I finally left."

When Li Xuan was in Chang'an, everyone felt heavy pressure on their shoulders.

Everyone understood that even though Li Xuan was very quiet on weekdays, once he received the emperor's order, he would immediately pierce it like a sharp sword.

Anyone in front of this long sword will be stabbed, even seriously injured and fatally.

Prince Peng is the most convenient weapon in the emperor's hand.

Ordinary people have no feelings about this murderous weapon, but those from aristocratic families, especially those with their own heavy selfishness, are very sensitive.

It’s not that no one received the news in advance about the Yue King’s rebellion case, and it’s not that no one was ready to take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of it.

What's more, their eyes have already fallen on all the generals and lieutenant generals of the sixteen guards, including the Qianniu Guard, the Jinwu Guard, and the Left and Right Guards.

After all, it is not easy to control these people, but it is not difficult to keep an eye on these people. But no one expected that the emperor actually used Li Xuan.

Li Xuan suddenly appeared in Songshan when he should have returned to Pengzhou to recuperate.

At the critical moment, Li Xuan suddenly came out of Songshan and killed everyone by surprise.

After the incident, the emperor cleaned up, and the Yue King Langya was naturally not immune to the disaster. Even the Xiao family was also severely hit, and there were almost no people at the level of governor in the court.

Only Xiao Siye is still safe in Fanzhou. As for the rest, even his family property has been almost confiscated.

Even the Yang family was not much better off.

All the branches involved in this matter suffered the same fate as the Xiao family. Only the few families related to the queen were safe. Among them, the various families who were secretly assistants were not harmed in any way on the surface, but under the surface, all the people involved were killed.

Naturally, Wu Chengsi, who had a deep connection secretly, was dispatched, and Li Jingxuan was also implicated.

Zhaojun Li's involvement in this matter was not much, but she was involved after all.

Especially after he left, only Pei Yan, Xue Yuanchao and Cui Zhiwen were left in the Zhengshitang family.

Among the three of them, if anyone made any changes in the future, the emperor would look at him for a long time and then lower his butcher's knife.

Wu Sansi has only recently figured out these things. In addition to Zhao Gong's assistance, the correspondence between him and Wu Chengsi is also the key to clarifying all this.

Although Li Xuan secretly participated in all this behind the scenes, his knife is really easy to use.

The frontline generals were killing so fast that no one could react, and the situation was completely settled.

Fortunately, now that Li Xuan is gone, everyone can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

……

Wu Sansi turned around and his eyes fell on the canopy of the prince who was retreating.

The struggle for power is at the slightest moment.

Li Xian and Li Huan stand together, and it is extremely difficult to shake his position as crown prince.

In particular, Li Xian is extremely cautious. With Li Xuan's help, he sees the situation clearly and will not be easily deceived.

Now he won't act as foolishly as Li Xian did.

For Wu Sansi, it is very important to gain a foothold in Chang'an, especially if he offends Li Xuan and Li Xian.

Fortunately, although he was a little embarrassed in the end, he still did it.

Wu Sansi's eyes fell in the direction of Prince Xiang's Mansion. Now that there was no place for him in the East Palace, the only person he could rely on was Prince Xiang.

Although the Prime Minister is not destined to have a prince, the prince is a kind man and will not treat his brothers badly.

Wu Sansi, with the support of the Prime Minister, hooked up with the North Gate bachelor, and might also have a chance to get a glimpse of the prime minister's position.

Just like Wu Chengsi did before, Wu Sansi narrowed his eyes slightly when thinking of Wu Chengsi.

Now that he has returned to Beijing, he is the only person the Wu family can tolerate in the court.

After leaving the city gate and walking slowly towards his mansion, Wu Sansi kept thinking about this problem along the way.

Li Xuan has left Chang'an and headed to Fanzhou three thousand miles away. He is no longer a threat. Instead, he is the brother who is always thinking about coming back. How can he...

"Hello!" Wu Sansi suddenly pulled the horse, and he had already arrived in front of his house. Then he saw the commander of the East Palace, Su Liangsi, the Sima of Yongzhou, standing in front of the door.

"Dong Guogong." Su Liangsi saw Wu Sansi dismounting and stepped forward to salute.

"Su Sima?" Wu Sansi returned the greeting, looked at Su Liangsi with some curiosity and asked, "Why is Sima here today?"

"It's the prince's business." Su Liangsi smiled and raised his hands, saying: "On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the daughter of the Yang family married into the East Palace as the crown prince's concubine. The year before last, the Gao family joined the East Palace as the crown prince's concubine, and it was Zhou Guogong who became the crown prince's best minister. Now that the Duke of Zhou is away, I wonder if I can ask the Duke of Dang to take the trouble to be the best man to welcome the prince?"

"Eldest brother is the best man to the crown prince?" Wu Sansi looked surprised and asked, "Why doesn't Sansi know about this?"

"It was originally a marriage granted by the Queen of Heaven, so Duke Zhou was happy to do it." Su Liangsi smiled and explained: "This marriage was also granted by the Queen of Heaven, and Concubine Yang is the niece of the Queen of Heaven, a blood relative, but now The only person suitable to be the best man is Duke Dang."

Wu Sansi immediately understood the key here. Not to mention the Gao family's daughter, the current Yang family's daughter was somewhat related to his family.

Of course, there is no blood relationship with Wu Sansi, but there is a blood relationship with Empress Wu.

Wu Sansi understood that he had no room to refuse this matter. Once he refused, it would not only be the prince, but also the queen.

"In this way, Sansi will try his best to live up to the prince's expectations." Wu Sansi smiled and handed over his hand.

"Very good." Su Liangsi cupped his hands and said, "In this case, Liangsi will go ahead and invite the Duke to come on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month."

"Okay." Wu Sansi nodded, then watched Su Liangsi get on his horse, folded his hands, and left.

Looking at Su Liangsi's leaving figure, Wu Sansi immediately felt a headache.

Although Li Xuan is gone, the East Palace may not be easy to mess with. Su Liangsi was originally very close to the North Gate bachelor, but now he has served as the commander of the East Palace for many years. He has worked hard in the East Palace, and now he is almost all plotting for the East Palace.

This is another person who is not easy to mess with.

Especially once the East Palace takes the throne, Su Liangsi will immediately take a big step forward. Although the position of prime minister is not difficult, it is not difficult to become the minister. The positions of other ministers and ministers are like picking things out of a bag. Under such circumstances, how can others be easily shaken? The power of the East Palace.

Wu Sansi could imagine that in the future, the person he would have to deal with was Su Sima.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Sansi looked in the direction of the East Palace. Although the East Palace is now stable and favored by the emperor, governing the world has never been an easy task.

The prince's current exposure is only superficial.

Not to mention that he has not yet ascended the throne, but he has already ascended the throne, and the situation he faces is still difficult.

Therein lies the opportunity for Wu Sansi.

However, even he did not want to see Li Xuan appear in the court.

Although it seems that Li Xuan is about to fight with the family, from the few words revealed in the court, it can be seen clearly that Prince Peng is fully prepared.

Wu Sansi suddenly smiled. For everything, there was new chaos, and everything was just the beginning.

Turning around, Wu Sansi had already walked into his house.

……

Opposite the Dang County Duke's mansion, in the shadow of the alley, a figure holding a sword calmly watched Wu Sansi enter the mansion.

Turning around, he quickly walked out of the square gate and disappeared into the crowd of people in Chang'an City.

On the watchtower, Zhao Gong saw everything with an indifferent expression.

The man just now was his colleague, the secret guard commander Wang Yinke.

Wu Sansi, the Duke of Dang County, was created by the palace to attract some people's attention.

Zhao Gong turned around and looked in the direction of Prince Peng's Mansion. Fortunately, Li Xuan didn't make any move.
