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

Chapter 1539: Military Remonstrance or Removing the Emperor's Concern or Resolving the Rebellion
On the first day of February, the late emperor had been ill for thirty-six days.

The new emperor took off his mourning clothes.

Afternoon, Prince Peng's Mansion.

In the flower hall in the backyard, Li Xuan glanced at Xia'er, Zhao'er and Ming'er who were happily playing on the swings, and her heart inexplicably calmed down.

"Husband." Liu Jinyu sat on one side and gently pushed the note in her hand towards Li Xuan, asking in confusion: "Fu Lai Yin Ke, what does this mean?"

"The eunuch supervisor is Wang Fulai, the chief secretary of King Peng, and the commander of the secret guards is Wang Yinke." After Li Xuan finished speaking, Liu Jinyu immediately grasped the key point: "They all have the surname Wang."

"They are both from the Wang family of Taiyuan." Li Xuan sighed, looked forward, and whispered: "However, Wang Jian entered the palace earlier than Queen Wang. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, there was a concubine named Wang. Emperor Gaozu..."

Liu Jinyu's eyes widened instantly.

"It has nothing to do with my grandmother." Li Xuan rolled her eyes at Liu Jinyu, and then continued, "During the time of my royal grandfather, Emperor Taizong, and the previous emperor, there were people from the Wang family who married into the palace, but they were all from different branches."

At this point, Li Xuan said with some melancholy: "My grandmother's lineage is fine, but Emperor Taizong's concubine Wang, that is, Concubine Jiang, has some connection with Queen Wang. Even though Concubine Jiang was released from the palace after Emperor Taizong's death, she died soon after. Later, she was still implicated."

"What about Wang Jian?" Liu Jinyu asked curiously.

"Wang Jian has a good relationship with the Empress Dowager, but his relationship with Queen Wang is more distant, or even negative. When Queen Wang fell, he helped the Empress Dowager a lot." Li Xuan shook his head slightly. Wang Fulai had almost no contact with the Wang family of Taiyuan over the years, and had completely cut off contact with them. It is hard not to doubt the role he played in the Queen Wang incident.

"And Wang Yinke is related to Wang Jian." Liu Jinyu looked up at Li Xuan.

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded gently and said, "Wang Jian's death was probably because he was too close to the emperor."

Li Xuan sighed lightly. The reason for Wang Fulai's death was that he followed the late emperor's will and tried his best to support Li Xian, but in doing so, he offended Empress Wu's rights.

He knows too much.

"What about the Death Guard?" Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan seriously.

"That's one of the reasons." Li Xuan nodded and said, "If there is anyone in the palace who knows more about the Death Guards, it must be someone under Wang Jian. Now that he is dead, I'm afraid no one will know these things anymore."

"Yeah!" Liu Jinyu sat opposite the stone table and gritted her teeth. Although the palace had its own troubles, she still didn't want to get involved with these things too early.

Li Xuan raised her head, looked at her children playing around on the swing, and whispered, "Actually, if it was just Sanniang, I wouldn't be worried. I'm leading a large army outside, and the Queen Mother would always be a little wary. But if they set their sights on Xia'er..."

Liu Jinyu's expression changed immediately.

Princess Fuchang is both blessed and prosperous.

Although Liu Jinyu knew that the emperor's death had other reasons, she still couldn't help but think of her daughter.

If the emperor did not change the reign title before taking the medicine, or directly changed the first year of Yonglong to the first year of Fuchang, and then let Xia'er serve him in the palace on the night of taking the medicine, would the emperor's condition be better, or would he not die at all.

This idea appeared in Liu Jinyu's mind, so of course it would inevitably appear in the minds of others.

Especially the diva.

It is very likely that the emperor did not take the Zhonglu Yanming Pill at all, so who got the Zhonglu Yanming Pill?
This may not be a problem at all.

If the Queen sets her eyes on Xia'er, then it will be really dangerous.

Liu Jinyu's breathing suddenly became heavy.

"If one day, Xia'er enters the palace and cannot return, then Madam will immediately start to leave the capital. Once Xia'er escapes from the palace, Madam will immediately take her away from Luoyang, and then follow the Luo River to Yangzhou, and finally cross the Yangtze River to the south of the Yangtze River. After that, it will be feasible for us to go to Hangzhou, Wuzhou, or return to Nanchang."

Li Xuan looked slightly towards the south of the Yangtze River, and Liu Jinyu's expression suddenly became solemn.

The industries of Prince Peng's Mansion in Jiangnan are all registered in the palace, and the ones in secret are controlled by Liu Jinyu. They are all a huge fortune, but in addition to these, there is another force controlled by Li Yan who stayed behind in Hongzhou.

Even Liu Jinyu didn't know how powerful this force was, but he could tell something from the fact that Li Yan had never been to Beijing for so many years.

And now, according to what Li Xuan said, after Liu Jinyu returns to Jiangnan, he will be able to compete with the forces of the imperial court.

We can also get a glimpse of how strong this force is.

Retracting her thoughts, Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Then how did Xia'er leave the palace... By the way, my husband has someone in the palace, can you tell me who it is?"

Liu Jinyu looked straight at Li Xuan. Li Xuan's manpower in the palace has always been Li Xuan's deepest secret.

Liu Jinyu usually wouldn't ask these questions, but at this point, she had to ask.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "I was going to tell you today. It's not a secret. His name is Xu Lu. He was the Junior Supervisor of the Eastern Palace back then. Now he has been transferred by the Empress to serve Concubine Zheng. He is a person who is relatively close to the Empress and Your Majesty. He should be the Junior Supervisor of the Eunuchs soon."

Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan in surprise. The eunuchs in the palace were headed by the Eunuch Supervisor Wang Fulai, followed by the Eunuch Supervisor Qiu Huan, and then the Junior Eunuch Supervisor Fan Yunxian.

Now that Wang Fulai is dead, Qiu Huan is the Supervisor of Eunuchs, Fan Yunxian was promoted to Supervisor of Eunuchs, and Xu Lu was promoted to Junior Supervisor of Eunuchs, firmly becoming the third most important eunuch in the palace.

"It's nothing more than a smokescreen to confuse Your Majesty." Li Xuan shook his head slightly. Qiu Huan was Wu Zetian's man, and Fan Yunxian was also Wu Zetian's man. Xu Lu had no control over the real power at all.

After a little tidying up, Li Xuan said, "When Emperor Xiaojing died, it was my husband who took care of it and adopted a heir for Emperor Xiaojing. This was due to Xu Lu's favor. Although there were some exchanges, it was not much." "Not much." Liu Jinyu nodded, and then as if she remembered something, she whispered, "I remember my husband once said that he sent someone to the palace that year."

"Yes." Li Xuan's face became solemn, and he said softly, "It was He Qiniang, a prostitute from Qinxiang Garden in Pingkangfang, Chang'an. She was the daughter of He Yang, the top scholar in the fourth year of Xianqing. Her real name was He Miao. He Yang was accused of conspiring with Shangguan Yi in his early years and died in exile. The person who accused He Yang died at the hands of my husband. Later, He Miao wanted to enter the palace, so I sent her to the palace."

"Shangguan Yi?" Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan in surprise and whispered, "Shangguan Cairen?"

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded and said, "He Miao is now in the Queen's Palace, and is being taken care of by Shangguan Cairen."

The corners of Liu Jinyu's mouth twitched slightly. She had a feeling that, apart from the current appearance in the palace, her husband's power in the palace was second only to the emperor and Empress Wu.

……

"If something unexpected happens in the palace in the future." Li Xuan looked at Xia'er's playful smile and said softly, "The palace will probably send someone to seal the palace first. If she doesn't invite you and Xia'er into the palace, then my family will be content and will not care about the changes in the throne. But if she invites you and Xia'er into the palace and doesn't let you leave, then my family will raise the flag of rebellion."

Liu Jinyu looked at the coldness in Li Xuan's eyes. She knew in her heart that Li Xuan's real concern was not for her, but for Xia'er.

If only Liu Jinyu entered the palace, she would have a great chance of getting out safely, but if Xia'er entered the palace, it would probably be difficult for her to get out again.

Liu Jinyu nodded silently, Xia'er was the one she loved most.

"As for you, once Xia'er enters the palace, Li Bi will arrange for you to leave. Just listen to him. You, Zhao'er, and Ming'er can all leave safely. As for Xia'er, Xu Lu and He Miao in the palace will work together to send Xia'er out of the palace through the palace gate. When the time comes, someone will naturally send Xia'er away."

At this point, Li Xuan's voice tightened, and she looked at Liu Jinyu and said, "At the palace gate, I have done enough work over the years to ensure Xia'er's safe exit from the palace, but you must not hesitate at all. Only when both of you leave Luoyang, can I feel at ease."

Liu Jinyu nodded. She knew that Li Xuan was worried that she would stay for Xia'er, which would put Li Xuan in a passive position.

"What should we do with Grandpa and Grandpa?" Liu Jinyu looked up at Li Xuan.

"Don't worry about Mr. Yue. The Queen Mother dare not touch him. Don't worry about my father-in-law. Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are not in Chang'an. No one can stop my father-in-law from leaving Chang'an." Li Xuan's expression was terrifyingly calm, and he actually had a feeling that the city of Chang'an was under his control.

Li Xuan looked at Liu Jinyu seriously and said, "Xia'er, Zhao'er, and Ming'er, they all need your care after leaving Luoyang. Others may be loyal, but without you, their loyalty may change."

Liu Jinyu's face changed slightly. To be honest, she did have the idea of ​​staying as a last resort to buy time for her son and daughter. But after Li Xuan said that, it was very likely that as soon as she stayed, someone would send Zhao'er and Xia'er back, and her sacrifice would be in vain.

"The Wei family has Wei Chengqing serving as the assistant military officer of the Household Department in Yangzhou. It is said that Sima Changyu is very close to him. In addition, there is Wei Xuanfu, the governor of Runzhou, the chief officer of the Yangzhou Grand Marshal's Office, the general of the imperial guards, and Pei Xingjian, the Duke of Jiang, who is the prince's tutor... If Your Majesty is deposed, then the prince will be in danger. The people of the Wei family will not give up so easily." Li Xuan sneered lightly.

In the original history, Li Jingye was able to successfully launch an uprising in Yangzhou because of the gathering of related frustrated forces after Li Xian was deposed, and now these people will gather again.

But compared to Li Jingye, whom Li Xuan never trusted, the people from the Wei family made him feel more at ease.

"My lady, you don't have to worry about Yangzhou. If anything changes, someone will send you through Yangzhou and then to Hangzhou. Hangzhou Navy Commander Ji Xiao is still there." Li Xuan looked at Liu Jinyu seriously.

Ji Xiao, the commander of the Hangzhou Navy, was Liu Rengui's man and had received great favors from Liu Jinyu.

Over the years, many people from the Hangzhou Navy went to Fanzhou to seek fame and fortune, and also many strong men from Wuzhou joined the Navy as soldiers.

Li Xuan has a strong control over it.

After Liu Jinyu arrived, he could even directly control the navy in the chaotic situation.

"Yes!" Liu Jinyu nodded seriously, then looked at Li Xuan and said, "What about you, my husband?"

"My husband, I have nothing to fear." Li Xuan shook his head and said with a smile, "It will take at least three months for the news of the incident in Luoyang to reach the Western Regions. If the Queen still trusts me, then she can send someone to guard my food supply route and let me fight hard to the west and fight the Arabs. I will accept it. But if they want to take me down completely, or even take me back to Luoyang, then it will be a fight to the death."

As long as Li Xuan still has the military power, he and the court can live in peace with each other. But if Empress Wu intends to take away Li Xuan's military power, then not only Li Xuan, but probably the entire Pengwang Mansion will become fish on the chopping board of others. Rebellion is inevitable.

No, maybe it should be called "clearing the court".

Return to the original.

It can also be called Jingnan.

"Wang Yinke!" Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan deeply. Undoubtedly, Wang Yinke would be the best candidate to control Li Xuan's retreat, but he was Wang Fulai's nephew and a member of the Taiyuan Wang family.

Li Xuan sighed softly: "At worst, I can lead the army back to Fanzhou, and from Fanzhou to Changzhou, and then to Longyou, and I can also protect the safety of my family."

Military remonstration.

Liu Jinyu made a quick calculation in his mind and suddenly looked at Li Xuan in disbelief.

Fanzhou, Changzhou, Tubo soldiers, Tuyuhun soldiers, plus the 60,000 to 70,000 elite Tang soldiers in Li Xuan's hands, by that time, the number of troops in Li Xuan's hands could easily reach 200,000.

It is also acceptable to claim that the number is 300,000.

Liu Jinyu suddenly felt the depth of Li Xuan's hard work over the years.

Once this force fully erupts, it can even destroy the entire Longxi area with ease.

Liu Jinyu felt inexplicably cold in her heart. Her husband's plans over the years never seemed so simple.
