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

Chapter 1444 The Emperor’s Butcher’s Knife
"It stands to reason that everyone should be more honest before His Majesty enthrones you." Liu Rengui looked up at Li Xuan and said, "Although Pei Yan is wary of you, he is only adding fuel to the flames at most. He should not take the initiative to take action."

Emperor Feng Chan praised his achievements to heaven, but half of the success of the Tang Dynasty's external expansion in recent years was related to Li Xuan.

If we take action against Li Xuan now, do we still want to proceed with Feng Chan?

Pei Yan naturally knew that if he wanted to attack Li Xuan, it would be a matter of the future.

Moreover, Li Xuan also had plans for Pei Yan.

Li Xuan smiled and said: "The real ones who are constantly moving are the Zheng family. They are targeting the grandson-in-law, but they are actually targeting the prince. When targeting the prince, only the prime minister will benefit."

If the Zheng family does not choose a prince, they can only choose the prime minister.

"But by doing this, they have already annoyed the Queen of Heaven." Liu Rengui sighed softly.

Even Empress Wu didn't want to see the princes inciting infighting.

Especially now, Empress Wu has chosen Li Xian to succeed her. If others stir up trouble at this time, they will disrupt Empress Wu's layout.

Especially if the emperor is in poor health and the people in the government and the public are unstable, if something happens, the first person to take the blame will be Empress Wu.

Who told the emperor to take refuge in Zhenguan Palace now? She is the one who calls the shots in the court.

"We only need to follow the Zheng family to investigate, and it will not be difficult to find out who is joining forces with them." Li Xuan raised his head slightly and said: "Who among the government and the public is completely clean, that is, Wu Sansi and Pei Xiang, The same goes for the North Gate bachelors, but it is difficult to take action before Feng Chan, unless..."

Liu Rengui didn't know what he thought of. He suddenly raised his head, stared at Li Xuan and said, "Don't mess around. At this time, there can't be trouble in Luoyang."

There was silence in the study room for a while.

Li Xuan had already thought of a plan unconsciously, and Liu Rengui had already made a rough guess just by listening to Li Xuan's tone.

His expression had become extremely cold.

Li Xuan lowered her head slightly and said: "Sun-sun can promise not to take action first, but if the Zheng family is unwilling to marry the East Palace, they may even want to give it a try before then..."

Give it a try, how?
He joined forces with the Beimen bachelor and the Prime Minister to push Li Dan to the throne when the emperor was seriously ill.

What is this? This is rebellion.

With such a huge possibility, Li Xuan has too much room for maneuver.

Promote rebellion and connect with Li Dan.

Beimen Bachelor, Xiang Wang, and even Wu Sansi and Pei Yan will be implicated.

Liu Rengui believed that Li Xuan definitely had this planning method.

It’s even down to the details and characters.

When the King of Yue conspired to rebel, many people suspected that the King of Yue was just an unlucky guy who was pushed to the front. Someone else was really behind the scenes.
In this way, Li Xuan is learning the methods of those behind the Yue King and pushing the Prime Minister to rebel.

Liu Rengui would not allow such a thing.

"They can't fight." Liu Rengui shook his head, stared at Li Xuan and said, "The political hall will be in action tomorrow."

"Okay!" Li Xuan smiled and nodded in agreement.

Liu Rengui was doing him a favor by doing this.

……

"There is another thing. There is a message from the palace that although His Majesty's meals have been reduced during these times, he is still using them." Liu Rengui looked up at Li Xuan with worry in his eyes and whispered: "Don't act rashly."

Liu Rengui had been the Prime Minister of the DPRK for many years, so it was extremely easy to place two of his own people in the Shangshan Bureau.

But at this time, there were still people in the palace sending him messages, and these people were definitely Liu Rengui's confidants.

Li Xuan was slightly startled. If the emperor was okay and was secretly watching his own methods, that would be another matter.

You know, Li Xuan's mind has never been simple.

But then, he couldn't help but frown and said: "This sounds right, but something is not quite right. With your Majesty's condition, you should stop eating and take special medicine during this period. People like Yue Weng can get it." There are a lot of people who know about the meal... Is Your Majesty playing a game?"

Liu Rengui was slightly startled, then nodded slowly and said: "If His Majesty is really in poor health, it would be normal for him to have a normal meal to convince others that his condition is not harmful, but with His Majesty's scheming attitude, it will not be that simple. , is he deliberately making people think that he is actually not in good health to lure them into action? "

The emperor has been in charge of government for more than 30 years, and there are countless intrigues every day. How could his methods be so simple?

Virtual reality is real, real reality is virtual reality.

The emperor's physical condition was really not clear for a while.

If the emperor can start the layout in Shangshan Bureau, he can also layout it in other places.

In this case, the news coming from the palace is still somewhat credible.

"Your Majesty's true means are beneath the water that others cannot see." Li Xuan lowered her head slightly, her expression becoming solemn.

Even though the emperor was seriously ill, he still stared at everyone with wide eyes. If anyone moved at this time, his butcher knife would immediately kill anyone.

And at this time, who can become the emperor's butcher's knife...

Liu Rengui looked at Li Xuan subconsciously. There were countless people in the court who were willing to be the emperor's butcher's knife, but in recent years, the person who was most accustomed to the emperor's butcher's knife was Li Xuan.

There were too many people from the emperor around him, both inside and outside.

Even he himself was the emperor's man.

Liu Rengui believed that if the emperor asked Li Xuan to choose between the emperor himself and Li Xian, Li Xuan would definitely choose the emperor.

But alas, the emperor's time is running out. Li Xuan lowered his head. He seemed to be aware of this, but at the same time, his sword would also be the one that the emperor paid the most attention to.
Liu Rengui raised his head and looked at Li Xuan solemnly: "If this is the case, will the virtuous son-in-law still take action against the Zheng family?"

Li Xuan said calmly: "Your Majesty is willing to see the daughter of the Zheng family marry into the East Palace. If so, that's it. If they don't want to and even want to act randomly, then they will wait for His Majesty's decree."

"Are you just waiting quietly like this?" Liu Rengui stared at Li Xuan.

Conspiracy and rebellion.

These are never easy things, the key is making up your mind.

Whether Li Dan or Zheng, they must have ideas in their minds, but transferring ideas to actual actions is not easy.

If someone is tempting you in front, someone is pushing you from behind.

"Yue Weng just said that your majesty is watching from behind, and my grandson-in-law does not dare to act rashly. However, if someone makes a move, my grandson-in-law will not pretend not to see it."

Li Xuan said softly: "As I said, if they don't move, no one can do anything to them. If they move, no one can save them."

Li Xuan turned to look outside the study and said softly: "Yue Weng, now in Luoyang City, His Majesty, the Queen, and I can naturally see everything clearly. What about outside Luoyang? When everyone can pay attention to Luoyang When we are in the city, if someone moves outside Luoyang, it will be difficult to see. "

Especially now that the emperor is in poor health, I am afraid not many people outside Luoyang can see clearly.

Liu Rengui shook his head and said, "But all this will eventually be decided in the palace."

……

The night was dark and the inner courtyard was quiet.

Jade Dragon Garden, bedroom in the west courtyard.

Li Xuan sat next to the bed, his right hand resting on Xia'er's pulse lying on the bed for half an hour.

Liu Jinyu walked in from the door carrying a bowl of red bean dumpling soup, carefully placed it on the table aside, and walked behind Li Xuan.

Li Xuan felt Xia'er's pulse like this for half an hour.

Even Liu Jinyu had never heard of this method of diagnosis before.

"People's serious diseases are often hidden deep in the body. Many times, if you want to detect them in advance, you need to diagnose the pulse for a long time." Li Xuan slowly let go of her hand and said at the same time: "My husband has been at home this month. , check Xia'er's pulse for half an hour every day, so that the hidden dangers in her body can be detected. "

"So is Xia'er okay?" Liu Jinyu couldn't help but grab Li Xuan's wrist with one hand, her face turned pale.

"I'm not seriously ill." Li Xuan patted the back of Liu Jinyu's hand slightly and said softly: "The five qi are slightly out of tune. Your Majesty may have asked Daoren Zhong to use tonics. Fortunately, Daoren Zhong did not do anything, so Xia'er is fine now. of."

"Now?" Liu Jinyu, who had just felt relieved, suddenly became nervous again.

Li Xuan nodded slightly and said: "Many diseases are hidden dangers when they are young. They are fine in youth and middle age, but they will break out in old age and when the body is weak."

Liu Jinyu's expression changed slightly, she bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty."

Using one's own luck to help the emperor create elixirs must have hidden dangers. The problem may not be visible now, but it will definitely break out in the future.

Normally, it would be due to frailty in old age, but if a young or middle-aged person gets sick, there is no guarantee that he will be fine.

Especially since Xia'er is still a daughter, she will have to face the life-or-death challenge of giving birth in the future.

"Don't worry, your husband is here, take good care of yourself, and there will be no problem." After Li Xuan finished speaking, she turned sideways and looked at Xia'er, there was still a trace of worry in her eyes.

"What about luck?" Liu Jinyu raised her head, looked straight at Li Xuan, and asked the biggest worry in her heart.

The emperor was ill, so he called Xia'er into the palace, and the emperor recovered.

The emperor wanted to make an elixir, so he called Xia'er to Songshan Mountain to make the elixir for him.

If this kind of thing is said to have no harm to Xia'er's luck, Liu Jinyu won't believe it.

Luck is related to a person's life, marriage, future, children, etc.

Li Xuan stretched out her hand, hugged Liu Jinyu into her arms, then leaned against her ear and whispered: "Your Majesty was also in Songshan that day. Even if there is anything, Your Majesty will share it. What's more, this is not true. "Life-extending Pill."

Liu Jinyu's brows suddenly raised, and then she remembered that this and that one were not real life-extending pills at all.

That is to say, after Xia'er came back from Songshan, she was often in low spirits and sleepy. Liu Jinyu searched famous doctors but couldn't figure out what was going on, otherwise she would not have forgotten this matter.

"So, Your Majesty...how is your health?" Liu Jinyu's voice was extremely low at the end.

"It won't be too good." Li Xuan's eyes were filled with sadness.

"Didn't the prince say that your majesty is in good health?" Although Liu Jinyu had already expected it, he was still puzzled.

"Your Majesty only met the prince today, not even Yue Weng." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said in a cold voice: "It means that your majesty only has the strength to meet the prince now."

Liu Jinyu's eyes widened immediately. She was now almost certain that what Li Xuan said was absolutely true.

"But this is enough. At least His Majesty still has plans to confuse the situation, and he is even trying to induce some interested people to take action."

Li Xuan said softly: "Just like the Zheng family, if they make a mistake in judgment, they will be easily beaten by the Nine Clan Extermination."

Liu Jinyu immediately understood completely. Although the emperor was in poor health, he still firmly controlled the situation.

Anyone who thinks that the emperor has lost control of everything will be the unlucky ones when the time comes.

"By the way, didn't you say that His Majesty will appear in court the next day?" Liu Jinyu suddenly thought of something and looked up at Li Xuan.

"Maybe." Li Xuan said with a cautious expression and a faint look in her eyes: "Perhaps it is hanging curtains, or perhaps meeting the prime minister during the court meeting, but it is absolutely impossible to meet all the courtiers, and it is probably a trap... The emperor at this time is the most suspicious, so no matter what you do at this time, it is best to use the prince as the fulcrum. "
