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

Chapter 1468: Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, who wouldn’t want to!
At the beginning of the lanterns, outside the gate of Jade Dragon Garden.

Li Xuan stood in front of the door, looked at Su Liangsi solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Su, please remember to be careful. If anything goes wrong here, it will be irreversible."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your Majesty knows about this and the good heir knows about it, so he will be safe and sound." Su Liangsi got on his horse, then cupped his hands and said, "That's it, good heir, take my leave."

"Be careful." Li Xuan nodded.

Su Liangsi hit the horse and headed towards the square gate. Then the square gate opened and Su Liangsi came out slowly.

He is the prince's commander and the commander of the secret guards. He has the authority to open the gates and pass through the long street even after the curfew.

The gate of the square closed behind him. Su Liangsi took a deep breath and rode his horse slowly.

He and Li Xuan finally fully agreed on the plan against Pei Yan.

Because Xue Yuanchao was there, they could not take the initiative to talk to Pei Yan about cooperation, but they could let Pei Yan talk to them about cooperation.

Although Yuan Wanqing could not continue to investigate this time because of Empress Wu's protection, it was true that Yuan Wanqing had colluded with the prime minister. The East Palace could no longer impeach Yuan Wanqing, but they could move the trouble eastward and drag Cui Mi into the water.

Cui Mi was the imperial censor Zhongcheng. He received a secret memorial from others to impeach Prime Minister Yuan Wanqing and Goulian. He must not dare to specialize in it, and must report it to the Queen of Heaven.

When the time comes, they will even need to do more, and Pei Yan will naturally receive the news.

Of course, everyone is smart, so it is not difficult to guess that Dong Palace did everything.

Dong Gong couldn't swallow this breath, so he sent a memorial to the imperial censor, but no one could say anything.

After all, it had happened before that Yuan Wanqing had become the Prime Minister and linked up with the Prime Minister, and no one could say anything more.

Under normal circumstances, Empress Wu would throw such a memorial aside, but the real mystery lies in the content of the memorial...

A group of Jinwu guards patrolled by, interrupting Su Liangsi's thoughts.

Su Liangsi raised his head and looked to the west, which was the direction of Pei Yan's mansion.

Su Liangsi sneered softly. Pei Yan had some connection with the Prime Minister after all. Since he had already done something, don't blame them for taking advantage of the situation.

Yuan Wanqing Goulian prime minister, although Cui Zhiwen was contacted by the Zheng family, but in the memorial, it can also be written that Yuan Wanqing Goulian was connected.

Li Yiyan was run by Yuan Wanqing and Li Dan. Wang Dezhen was run by Yuan Wanqing himself, but Wang Dezhen rejected Yuan Wanqing's request.

As for Pei Yan, although Yuan Wanqing came to visit him in person, he was noncommittal in the end.

No one knows how the incident actually happened, but in the memorial, it is clearly stated that Pei Yan had no objection to King Xiang's wooing.

He was noncommittal on the surface, but secretly supported Li Dan at the critical moment.

He even persuaded Wang Dezhen, who had clearly refused, to give up his position.

Su Liangsi could already guess a lot of what Empress Wu was thinking when she saw this scene.

At least a person with a deceitful mind cannot escape.

As for whether to try to reveal the impeachment to Pei Yan in the end, Su Liangsi felt that it was no longer that important.

When Empress Wu began to be suspicious of Pei Yan, Pei Yan would immediately feel the cruelty of Empress Wu's methods from all aspects.

At that time, Pei Yan would take the initiative to approach the East Palace.

After that, find a suitable time and hand the memorial to impeach Cui Mi to Pei Yan, or hand it to the East Palace, and others will think it is Pei Yan's masterpiece.

As a result, Pei Yan could only lean firmly on the side of the East Palace.

Their own purpose is to use Pei Yan to fight against Empress Wu. Now, using force to suppress Pei Yan and make him have to respond is also a method.

But this kind of thing must not be known to too many people, not even Li Xian.

In this way, there are only two people, Li Xuan and Su Liangsi.

Thinking of Li Xuan, Su Liangsi, who was riding on the horse, couldn't help but sigh.

Nowadays, among the people in the East Palace, aside from Liu Rengui, who doesn't care much about things, the only one Su Liangsi can like is Li Xuan.

Because Li Xuan, like him, was willing to do everything in his power to help Li Xian ascend the throne.

The key is that both of them have outstanding talents, are unparalleled in calculations and decisive in killing.

If Li Xuan hadn't been from the clan, maybe after Li Xian ascended the throne, the first person Su Liangsi would deal with would be Li Xuan.

But fortunately, he is a clan member, not only a clan clan member, but also a clan clan member who knows how to act appropriately.

This is almost the consensus of both the government and the opposition.

Su Liangsi and Li Xuan have known each other for many years. Even if Su Liangsi was trusted by Li Xian, he was highly recommended by Li Xuan.

And Fan Lubing, who is now neutral between the East Palace and the Prime Minister's Mansion, was brought to the East Palace by Li Xuan.

The most fundamental reason for this is that Li Xuan is away from home all year round and cannot really assist the East Palace. He needs truly capable people to help the prince.

It was from this side that Su Liangsi could see Li Xuan's nature.

For so many years, when Li Xuan mentioned returning to the imperial court, every time he talked about it, he almost locked in the position where the prince of the country would offer wine. He didn't even think about other positions.

This made Su Liangsi feel relieved.

In fact, it was not just Su Liangsi who was relieved. The emperor and Empress Wu were also relieved because they had placed enough people around Li Xuan.

In addition, Li Xuan had a memorial sent to the palace every seven days. Su Liangsi couldn't be more at ease about what kind of person he was.

Coupled with his clan status, Su Liangsi had absolutely no worries that Li Xuan would compete with him for the position of prime minister in the future.

So, this time, if you are used by him, take advantage of it.

Li Xuan's calculations this time were often hidden behind his back. It was because of his identity that he could not be at the forefront. Instead, it was Su Liangsi. He was also responsible for the things against Li Dan, and now he is responsible for targeting Li Dan. Pei Yan’s matter.

If something goes wrong, Su Liangsi will be responsible, not Li Xuan who is hiding behind.

But Su Liangsi was willing to bear such a price.

If he wants to be the future prime minister, he must be responsible enough. Even the left prime minister.

Who wouldn’t want to be the Prime Minister of the Left, the head of the political hall, and the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty!

Su Liangsi narrowed his eyes slightly.

……

Above the gate of Sigongfang, Li Xuan's calm Su Liangsi walked away, and then he went down from the gate and walked towards Jade Dragon Garden.

The people around looked at Li Xuan's figure with respectful and solemn expressions.

Returning to Jade Dragon Garden, Li Xuan let out a deep breath.

Before meeting Su Liangsi, Li Xuan looked relaxed, but after sending Su Liangsi away, Li Xuan felt heavy.

There were sounds of playing and playing in the room, and Li Xuan smiled slightly.

As if hearing Li Xuan's footsteps, Liu Jinyu quickly walked out of the door: "Su Sima is gone?"

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded and said, "I'll leave after explaining a few things."

"Then the matter with the Prime Minister will be settled from now on, right?" Liu Jinyu walked to Li Xuan's side, raised her head and asked.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "If the Prime Minister doesn't plan anything anymore, then everything will be settled naturally, but if the Prime Minister still has other intentions, there will be trouble."

"What trouble can there be? Yuan Wanqing will be driven out of Luoyang." Liu Jinyu didn't care.

Li Xuan smiled, raised his eyes, looked at the night sky above his head, and said softly: "Yuan Wanqing left the capital, maybe a new situation will usher in the court, and everything will be a new chapter. ”

As Li Xuan's words fell, little snowflakes slowly fell from the dark sky.

……

Dots of snowflakes, falling from the gloomy sky.

The ground was already completely white.

This is true from inside Luoyang City to outside Luoyang City.

Overnight, three feet of snow had fallen.

In Zheng's manor, Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. An, was wearing a thick cloak, frowning as she looked at the snowing weather in front of her.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from the front.

The housekeeper was dressed in thick clothes and looked solemn, but suppressed his excitement and said: "Madam, most of the people outside have withdrawn, and only a few people are watching."

"It's snowing, so naturally they can't bear it." Cui glanced at the housekeeper calmly, and the housekeeper immediately stood up solemnly.

Ms. Cui nodded and looked at the falling snowflakes in front of her eyes with serious eyes.

It is true that snow will cause some people to leave the position where they are monitoring the Zheng family, but it will not allow them to evacuate completely.

If they really evacuated completely, that means that the matter in the Prime Minister's Mansion has been completely settled.

Could it be that because King Peng burned the marriage certificate yesterday, everything was completely settled?

A trace of surprise flashed in Cui's eyes.

If that was the case, then she was really lucky that her last resort move was of no use.

Cui did have one last resort, which was to renegotiate the engagement between the Zheng family and Dong Gong.

Originally it was Zheng Jiuniang who was supposed to marry into the East Palace, but was changed to Zheng Qiniang, and then Zheng Jiuniang married into the East Palace as a dowry.

In this way, even if two sisters marry the prince at the same time, the Zheng family's face will be saved.

Moreover, Zheng Qiniang has become the prince's beloved wife and will still have the opportunity to become one of the four noble concubines in the future.

As long as she becomes one of the four imperial concubines, she will still have the chance to become queen in the future.

Zheng's plan may still come true.

But unfortunately, Li Xuan did not see her, and Dong Gong still married Zheng Jiuniang.

But that's fine, King Xiang will be out of trouble. With the marriage certificate in the future, Qiniang may marry into King Xiang's palace and become King Xiang's concubine.

Even entered the palace.

After recovering her mind, Mrs. Cui looked at the housekeeper and said, "Keep packing your things. When the snow stops falling, we will return to Xingyang. We won't stay in Luoyang any longer."

"Here!" The butler bowed solemnly, with a trace of joy on his face.

This time, apart from getting a marriage certificate, the Zheng family paid a heavy price for getting married in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

It seems that no one has been spared from being demoted, but no one has noticed that in the past few days, almost all the Zheng family's shops in Luoyang and Chang'an have been demolished.

The amount of money lost here is not generally large.

But if there is such a marriage certificate, the Zheng family can still become the Prime Minister's wife, and there is still a chance to save everything.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from the backyard.

A middle-aged woman in thick clothes walked quickly from the backyard, walked up to Ms. Cui with a worried look, and said: "Madam, the young lady is sick."

Mrs. Cui was stunned, turned around and walked quickly towards the backyard, and asked at the same time: "What's going on? Why did the young lady become so ill?"

"I've already gone to Dr. Zhou and said it was the cold that happened last night." The middle-aged woman said quickly.

Mrs. Cui paused, nodded, and said: "I see, let's go and see the young lady. If the young lady is not in good health, we will stay in Luoyang for a few more days."

The housekeeper who followed behind couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Madam, you are still unwilling to accept this matter!
