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

Chapter 1412 Li Xuan’s revenge, be cautious

"Xia'er is sick." Li Xuan stood in the stone pavilion, expressionlessly twisting the note in his hand into confetti.

Let it fly freely in the wind.

"What's going on?" Yu Ze asked quickly. The secret message Chang'an just sent made Li Xuan's face instantly darken.

Yu Ze knew that Xia'er was called to the palace by the emperor, but now that the emperor has gone to Luoyang, Xia'er is sick. What's going on?

"Perhaps she was always nervous in the palace. Now that the emperor has gone to Luoyang, the string in Xia'er's heart has loosened, so she fell ill all of a sudden." Li Xuan looked coldly and continued: "In addition, there is one more thing , Princess Taiping was pregnant, and she found out on the penultimate day after the emperor left Chang'an."

"Princess Taiping is pregnant?" Yu Ze frowned. Suddenly his expression changed and he said, "Isn't that the time when Xia'er was in the palace?"

"Yes." Li Xuan nodded and said, "The imperial physician checked and found that the princess has been pregnant for two months."

Yu Ze fell silent immediately, and then said carefully: "Maybe it's just a coincidence. I happened to find it when Xia'er was around."

"Do you still remember what Li Xian said when he left Chang'an?" Li Xuan looked up with an indifferent expression, looked at Yu Ze and said, "His first words were that he hoped that Xue Shao and Taiping could have children soon and have children." In this case, everyone in the Princess Mansion would probably be a little tighter. How could they find out just before the emperor leaves the capital? "

"Your Highness Princess, you don't have such a plan, and it's not the day before the emperor leaves Beijing, but the two days before." Yu Ze looked worried, he was really worried that Li Xuan would think wrong.

"Princess Taiping is pregnant. The emperor stood up and walked out of the Penglai Palace at the same time. He also briefly summoned the officials." Li Xuan pursed a sneer at the corner of her mouth. If he couldn't see through the mystery, he wouldn't be here. This court is confused.

The emperor's body has long since recovered, but he just needs a suitable opportunity to tell everyone.

Princess Taiping's pregnancy is the most suitable opportunity, and the emperor may have even known about Princess Taiping's pregnancy in advance.

Princess Taiping may not know it herself, but Empress Wu and the emperor must have known about it, but they just didn't tell Princess Taiping.

Everything is just a good use.

They even deliberately chose the first two days to give them enough time to process everything.

"Chang'an City will attribute everything to the luck brought by Princess Fuchang. This is indeed a wonderful move, but it may not necessarily work for us... Maybe in the future, no matter how big or small, we will ask for help." Li Xuan There was a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth, and all of this was almost even foreseeable.

Yu Ze didn't know what to say for a moment.

He is also a member of the royal family, so of course he understands Li Xuan's love for Princess Fuchang.

That was Li Xuan's eldest daughter, his first child, and he put a lot of extra effort into it.

Now that I am being used like this, I am even tired and sick, and I will have a lot of troubles in the future. It is disgusting to think about it.

Not to mention the future furnace opening in Songshan... Of course, Yu Ze didn't know about this.

"The emperor has not considered the follow-up treatment at all, or in other words, he has the intention to let the situation continue to ferment." Li Xuan raised his head and looked in the direction of Chang'an and said softly: "Your Majesty, if necessary, recall the ministers back for You're already guarding the palace gate, so why bother with a minister's daughter like this?"

Yu Ze lowered his head seriously. In this case, he couldn't answer it at all.

"Send an order for Li Zhu to go back and bring Fanzhou's medicine and some special products. After returning this time, he will stay at home and watch the princess. If anyone has delusions, no matter who they are, directly If you break the leg, I believe His Majesty will be lenient." Li Xuan looked at Yu Ze gently, the murderous intent in his eyes was terrifying.

"Okay." Yu Ze nodded directly without any hesitation. As long as Li Xuan didn't have any ideas directed at the emperor, then nothing would happen.

Li Xuan glanced at Yu Ze, and there were some words he didn't say to Yu Ze.

Although Xia'er was sick, Li Xuan had been giving her medicinal baths before.

After Li Xuan left Chang'an, Liu Jinyu continued to take medicinal baths.

Behind the matter of Xia'er's illness is not that simple.

It's even possible that Liu Jinyu did it on purpose, but the couple's stance on this matter is the same.

……

"There is a third thing." Li Xuan looked solemnly and said seriously: "Lu Xu, a doctor in the official department, was transferred to the Imperial Academy because he arranged Cui Ming of the Cui family to be the Wannian county captain. The Zheng family Zheng Min became the county captain of Wugong, and even when His Majesty was ill, the Queen of Heaven did not notice. "

Yu Ze suddenly raised his head and said in disbelief: "They must be crazy."

If at any other time, the Emperor and Empress Wu had seen this matter, they would have at most arranged for one or two county magistrates from poor families who were not able to deal with it to suppress it.

But now, when the emperor is uneasy and may even die at any time, the family's actions like this will definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion.

"In the past few years, we have been in Chang'an and Luoyang, and we have not acted once or twice. Every time, we have to call in the government servants and police officers from Chang'an Wannian and Henan Luoyang. Not to mention anything else, they are absolutely the whole nation in terms of tracking. Chang'an City is one of the best, even the Secret Guards sometimes cannot compare with them."

Li Xuan sneered lightly, using the government officials from Chang'an Wannian and Henan Luoyang to keep tabs on him was definitely the simplest and least likely method to be discovered.

Li Xuan has put quite a lot of hands and feet in these four places over the years.

There were even Yao Chong and Song Jing who served as county magistrates of Henan twice.

Li Xuan knew what to do. Many of the great heroes and nobles in Chang'an were in Wannian County, Chang'an, and even one person worked for several forces.

But no matter what, it would be better to attack the county captain directly. Mastering Wannian County Lieutenant is equivalent to mastering half of the information in Chang'an City.

If you add the family's chess pieces in Chang'an County, I am afraid that more than half of the news in Chang'an will not be hidden from them.

When Su Liangsi served as Sima of Yongzhou in Yongzhou Prefecture, he was watching all the movements on the ground in Chang'an for the East Palace.

Cui Ming's appointment as Wannian County Lieutenant will definitely greatly interfere with Su Liangsi's intelligence collection.

"Prince Peng's Mansion is in Wannian County." Yu Ze raised his head and looked at Li Xuan, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Hehehe!" Li Xuan laughed, shook his head, and said: "Uncle, I will serve as the general of Zuojinwu's guard. Nothing will happen to Kaihuafang, but they will be monitored for a while. But since they have taken action, then there is no need I feel sorry for them if I retaliate properly."

"How to do it?" Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan cautiously.

"Killing is just a cheap tactic." Li Xuan shook her head calmly and said, "A large number of children have been missing in Chang'an City during the Chinese New Year and festivals. The palace has also found a lot of them over the years, and even saved a lot of people. Now, Throw some evidence to the victims’ families and let them chew on these hard bones.”

"They may not actually take action, and if they do, they may reach some obscure tacit understanding with the people behind them, and this matter will become a ladder for them to get promoted."

Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan. This case was not too difficult for officials who came from aristocratic families.

"These are the best." Li Xuan sneered slightly at the corner of her mouth and said: "First find someone to help you brag, and then let the censor reveal their truth. Yao Chong is here at the censor's desk, and they are not allowed to fool them on this matter. Go down... Of course, if they can find out everything, this Wannian county captain will sit down. "

"What they can't find out, even if they investigate this case for ten years, they won't be able to find out. If their minds are all on this, then there is no need to do anything else."

Yu Ze couldn't help but shake his head. The difficulty of this matter was that even if Li Xuan took action, he would have to investigate it secretly, and it would be even more difficult for aristocratic families.

"Then they will give up this position." Li Xuan's eyes were cold.

"Okay, let's do it like this." Yu Ze nodded and said, "If the matter gets bigger, it's best to turn the minds of the people of Chang'an away from the princess."

"Well!" Li Xuan took a deep breath and said: "There is another thing. The children of Fanzhou's aristocratic families should keep a closer eye on them. If something goes wrong, they will send one or two Qianniu Guards to take a look and let them know. I was so nervous that I also sent an official letter to Cuozhou asking how the situation was with the county magistrate."

Since Cui Shi was dismissed from his post and rushed back to Chang'an to change the county magistrate, Li Xuan has never let anyone from the army hold the post full-time. Instead, he selected someone from Cuozhou Prefecture to join the army and serve as the county magistrate.

Anyway, he is Zhuang Chuo's person. If he is mishandled, Li Xuan will still hold him accountable.

"Yes!" Yu Ze nodded lightly.

"Finally, let's talk about the war situation in the Western Regions. Send people to keep an eye on the Western Regions. There are big cannibals behind the Western Turks. Don't make any loopholes." Li Xuan's expression remained calm.

Yu Ze raised his head slightly. He was very familiar with Li Xuan, and seemed to hear a different flavor from it.

"There's nothing else." Li Xuan shook her head, looked at Yu Ze and said, "In a few days, I will go to Luolong, and everything to appease the ambassador's house will be left to Uncle Yu, and the two naughty guys at home. "

"I will keep an eye on the two princes." Yu Ze sighed, stood up, looked at Li Xuan, and said, "Be careful, your Majesty and the Queen are watching from Luoyang."

"I know." Li Xuan stood up and sent Yu Ze out of the Embassy of Peace.

Turning around, Li Xuan walked towards the palace, but she was thinking about the last words Yu Ze said.

The emperor and Empress Wu watched from Luoyang.

Yes, the emperor and Empress Wu jumped out of Chang'an and went to Luoyang.

There are not many current officials in Luoyang, let alone others.

There are even fewer people who can enter the palace to see the emperor and empress Wu and put pressure on them.

Unlike Chang'an, if anyone makes any move, the news will be spread to the emperor and Empress Wu.

Li Xuan sneered softly, yes, the emperor and Empress Wu hid in Luoyang and watched quietly, but it was precisely because they hid in Luoyang that their reactions to many things were slower than a beat, and even if they covered up If the means are good, they will see nothing.

Besides, there are still Songshan matters to worry about.

Songshan's Furnace Pill is not that easy to master.

Li Xuan's eyes suddenly became extremely solemn.

His plans changed again.

He originally planned to cause some turmoil there and delay the completion of the elixir until the end of the year, but later he knew that elixir refining would not affect Xia'er, so he gave up his plan.

But later, Li Xuan's mind changed again.

It’s better that the alchemy in Songshan doesn’t go so smoothly.

Smoothness is never a good thing. Only when things don't go well can he have room for manipulation.

Especially when he faced an extremely powerful Empress Wu.
