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

Chapter 1406 Li Xian leaves Beijing, Xu says a few words

"Get out of the way, I'm going to see the emperor off." Li Xian stood in the Mingde Hall and wanted to rush out angrily.

A dozen or so people from Sheren, Yu De, and even Yao Lingzhang, Wei Ji, Cheng Wuzhong and others were blocking the way.

"Brother Huang left the capital, and I was the last one to know. You are going too far." Li Xian looked at his cronies in front of him fiercely, filled with grief and anger.

"Your Highness cannot go to see off the deposed prince." Su Liangsi stood in front of the palace door and said calmly: "The Tutor won't let him, Prime Minister Xue won't let him, and King Peng won't let him... Your Highness should not have forgotten King Peng's deliberate instructions. No, Let your highness go see him."

Li Xian, who was stopped by everyone, was stunned.

What Li Xuan had said to him at the beginning suddenly appeared in Li Xian's mind.

He immediately understood that if he went to see Li Xian at this time, he would not only harm himself, but also Li Xian.

Li Xian immediately sat down slumped, his head lowered, his face full of frustration and helplessness.

If it were other times, Li Xian might still struggle a little, but now, the emperor is seriously ill. If he insists on seeing Li Xian, it will immediately cause a storm.

In the end, it was probably the emperor who had to drag his seriously ill body to help him deal with the follow-up.

If the tired emperor's body becomes heavier, then it will be Li Xian's fault who will never redeem himself.

Thinking of this, Li Xian looked at everyone, waved his hand, and said weakly: "Everyone, please sit down. I won't go."

"Your Highness!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then sat down directly in the hall.

Li Xian looked at everyone and said softly: "Brother Huang and Gu, after all, we are brothers. Now that he is traveling far away, he will probably never be able to come back again. If Gu has someone give him something, there should be no problem, right?" ”

The ministers suddenly looked at each other.

The prince wants to give something to the deposed prince, so is there anything else included in this so-called thing?
Everyone immediately felt uneasy.

At this moment, Su Liangsi said: "Okay, let the prince-in-law deliver it. The prince-in-law is also a member of the East Palace."

With Su Liangsi's words, all the officials in the palace calmed down at the same time. Xue Shao went to deliver the things. Even if Li Xian got involved, it was still Xue Shao's problem.

Although Xue Shao was the right guard of the East Palace and led Sima, he was also the husband-in-law of Princess Taiping.

Xue Shao came forward, he represented Princess Taiping more than representing the East Palace.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is currently taking care of Your Majesty in the palace, and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince is handling official duties in the East Palace. He is too busy. You might as well ask the Prime Minister to send the deposed Crown Prince away." Su Liangsi blinked, and a vicious plan was revealed.

No matter who wants to send the deposed prince away now, it is a very risky thing.

Li Xian can't do it, and Li Dan can't do it either.

But Li Xian had a serious excuse at least, but Li Dan had nothing to do now, so it wouldn't be too much to send him off.

"Forget it!" Li Xian waved his hand and said, "The most important thing for my father now is to be quiet. If I let Shiro go, my father will inevitably be in trouble, and there will be other interested people who will take advantage of him, and the gain will not be worth the loss."

"Your Highness is wise." Su Liangsi bowed slightly.

"Ha!" Li Xian raised his eyes and looked at Su Liangsi. How could he not know that Su Liangsi's words were not good words.

"Let's do this. The East Palace will send some clothes and dry food, and the prime minister's palace will also send some clothes and dry food. At the same time, tell the person who is seeing him off that he must send the emperor's brother safely to Bazhou."

Li Xian smiled bitterly and said: "After all, we are brothers of fellow orphans..."

Having said this, Li Xian stood up, turned around and walked towards the harem, staggering and walking heavily.

Not knowing who it was, he sighed deeply: "His Royal Highness is extremely sincere, benevolent and filial, which is unmatched in ancient and modern times."

"Yes, His Highness is a model of benevolence and filial piety in the world."

Su Liangsi glanced at those people, his cold eyes full of amusement.

Immediately, Su Liangsi turned around and left.

……

Chang'an South City, outside Anhua Gate.

An extremely ordinary gray carriage, escorted by a whole team of black-armored cavalry, slowly traveled south.

A few miles ahead, five hundred right-guard cavalry were already on standby, ready to rendezvous at any time.

That was the real force specially arranged by the emperor to escort Li Xian, a group of right-guard cavalry, which could not block the prying eyes of others.

The carriage stopped slowly, because Xue Shao was standing by the road, with two carriages following behind him.

Li Zhaode, who was following the guard at the side, stepped forward without dismounting. He cupped his hands directly towards Xue Shao and said, "I have seen the consort, and I am responsible for my duties. Please forgive me for not being able to salute."

"It's okay." Xue Shao nodded to Li Zhaode and said, "Li Changshi, Xue came to see him off on the orders of the prince and the prime minister."

Xue Shao looked at the gray carriage surrounded by many cavalry in the center, with a sigh on his face, and then looked at Li Zhaode and asked, "I don't know, can Xue come forward and say a few words?"

"Your Majesty's decree." Li Zhaode suddenly spoke. Xue Shao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, Xue Shao, respectfully listens to the edict."

"Your Majesty has spoken: If the prince sends someone to see you off, you will give him what he has and say a few words." Li Zhaode raised his head, looked at Xue Shao solemnly and said: "Consort, I only have three sentences here."

Xue Shao nodded, with a hint of gratitude on his face.

Although the emperor said he would say a few words, he would say a few words.

It is not good to say too much, and it is not good to say too little.

Three sentences is a little short, but enough.

Xue Shao stepped forward, walked to the gray carriage, held his hands in his hands, and did not speak for a long time.

Li Xian was sitting in the carriage, with his wife and eldest son beside him.

He clearly heard what Xue Shao said outside just now. Now that Xue Shao came to him and didn't speak, he gave him the opportunity to speak first. He was a smart man.

"Taiping's consort, have a child with her as soon as possible." Li Xian's voice was calm. "Yes!" Xue Shao nodded and bowed, saying nothing.

"Tell Sanlang and Shilang not to think about me anymore." Li Xian suddenly felt sad through the car curtain.

Although they were said to be fighting for power in the past few years, in fact, the relationship between the brothers is still good.

At that time, Li Xian didn't have any chance to seize the throne, and Li Dan was even younger. Although he had the help of the Beimen bachelor, he had no chance at all.

Facts have proved this.

"Here!" Xue Shao was still just one word.

Li Xian let out a long sigh and said, "It would be pretty good if I could spend my life so peacefully."

Xue Shao fell silent. He understood that Li Xian's words were not meant for him, but for Li Xian, Li Dan, the Emperor and Empress Wu. He had given up completely.

"Let's go, Li Changshi." Behind the car curtain, Li Xian looked up at Li Zhaode.

Li Xian sighed softly.

He knew that Li Xuan had absolutely no power involved in the process of escorting him, and the Chief Secretary of the Pengwang Mansion in front of him was actually a person planted in the Pengwang Mansion by the Emperor.

So he didn't mention Li Xuan a word today.

Because he didn't know whether he would interact with Li Xuan in the future, he needed to say anything now.

As for the rest, he will have enough time to understand it slowly in the future.

Li Zhaode nodded calmly and looked at Xue Shao. Xue Shao took a few steps back and stood back by the road.

The black cavalry advanced again, and the gray carriage was taken away along with the clothes and food sent by the Prince's Palace and the Prime Minister's Palace.

Taking a deep breath, Xue Shao turned around and returned to the palace with his men. He wanted to go to the prince for business.

Under the city gate, countless figures quietly returned to the city, reporting details to the master behind them.

……

Upstairs at the city gate, Zhao Gong looked at everything calmly with an indifferent expression.

There was a sound of slight footsteps behind him, and Zhao Gong turned around in surprise.

Seeing Wang Yinke appearing behind him, Zhao Gong nodded in greeting and asked, "Has Commander Wang discovered anything today?"

"Yes, people from the Cui family, Lu family, Zheng family, and Li family have all come to Beijing." Wang Yinke looked solemn.

The Li family here is naturally the Li family of Zhaojun, and the Li family of Longxi does not need to be paid attention to.

"Five of the five surnames and the seven families have made moves. It seems that those old monsters can't help but want to make a move." Zhao Gong couldn't help but sneered.

The Boling Cui family, the Qinghe Cui family, the Fanyang Lu family, the Xingyang Zheng family, the Zhaojun Li family, and the seven families with the five surnames have many direct descendants who have come to Chang'an to serve in Chang'an in recent years, but the head of the family rarely appears in Chang'an.

Even on ordinary days, the heads of the five surnames and seven families would not appear in front of others. They would only emerge when the imperial power changes.

There are rumors in the world that aristocratic families never put eggs in one basket, but they have no idea that even if eggs are placed in two baskets, there are more and less.

If you are really favored, put ninety-nine eggs in it; if you put one egg on someone who is not favored, it will still be a mess.

Now it's that time again, when the real old aristocratic family started to take action again when the emperor was seriously ill.

"The lesson learned last time may not be painful enough for them. They can't help but take action when they hear the slightest rumor." Wang Yinke had a sneer on his face.

The emperor was critically ill not once. The last time the emperor was critically ill was in the third year of Yifeng, when the prince was still Li Xian.

In the fourth year of Yifeng, Prince Li Xian was deposed.

"Keep an eye on the Prime Minister." Zhao Gong turned around, looked in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and said softly: "The prince is peaceful, but it is the Prime Minister who is restless. The North Gate bachelors may not be able to control them. Gotta keep him."

Wang Yinke fell silent and did not refute Zhao Gong's words.

Because in the current situation, Li Xian is the prince who least needs others to worry about.

Every day when he was doing things, he was under the gaze of many Eastern Palace officials, and also under the gaze of Empress Wu and the Emperor.

Such a prince is the most worry-free.

On the contrary, although Li Dan rarely appeared in front of people in recent years, there were many people leaning on him secretly.

In particular, most of them are from aristocratic families. Of course, this is the basket where aristocratic families put their eggs, and only one egg.

At this time, he is absolutely dangerous and restless.

"Do you have any clues about the secretary's case?" Zhao Gong spoke again, uncovering another serious case.

The eclipse memorial of Taishi's order after the secretary's disappearance and reappearance.

"There is no sign of anyone interfering." Wang Yinke shook his head slightly and lowered his gaze: "Taishi Ling did send the memorial, and the Secretary and the Young Superintendent have never dealt with the memorial. It seems that it was really forgotten by the Secretary. ”

"As long as it's not the secretary and young supervisor who saw it and deliberately suppressed it." Zhao Gong calmly shook his head.

If Wu Sansi really did something in this matter, and deliberately caused the emperor to be unprepared and become ill, then they would be exterminated.

"Yes, if this matter could have been discovered in advance, His Majesty would not have fallen ill in front of the ministers even if he had to miss the day."

Wang Yinke turned around, looked outside the city, and said softly: "If there is anyone in the world who can interfere with this matter, then this person must be proficient in astronomy and medicine, and he is also a secretary supervising people... …”

"Commander Wang, why don't you just say Prince Peng." Zhao Gong walked to Wang Yinke calmly, and then walked past him: "Commander Wang, anyone who knows about it will know that what Prince Peng knows about the celestial phenomena is completely different from that of the Taishi Bureau. ...This kind of deliberate trapping may backfire on you.”

Wang Yinke looked up and saw that Zhao Gong had already walked down the city gate, then joined Jin Wuwei and disappeared into Chang'an City.

Looking up in the direction of Fanzhou, Wang Yinke shook his head slightly and sighed: "Why is King Peng three thousand miles away at this time?"
