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

Chapter 1844 He doesn't mind killing people and causing a river of blood
In early summer of April, the emperor went to Luoyang.

The drizzle fell between the sky and the earth, gently playing a quiet melody.

In the Qianyang Palace, Li Xuan couldn't help but stretch himself, and gently waved his hand to Xu Lu beside him and said, "No need to light the lamp, let's leave it at that for today."

"Yes!" Xu Lu bowed and took a step back.

Li Xuan stood up, put down the memorial in his hand, and walked out of the hall.

It has been five days since we came to Luoyang from Chang'an. The slackness along the way has finally been completely swept away, and the government affairs are quickly under control.

Manpower is mobilized for spring planting and irrigation across the country.

After the imperial examination, the scholars of each subject were quickly placed in local official positions.

Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue.

One is called Tianguan and the other is called Diguan, and they are indeed worthy of their reputations.

Officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue in the court were quickly dispatched to the local areas to keep a close eye on the spring planting activities throughout the country.

That's the top priority.

This year is a rare year of harmonious weather, with no floods or droughts. But the more so, the more Li Xuan pays attention to spring planting and autumn harvest.

This year's autumn harvest will most likely lay the foundation for the future conquest of Silla.

……

At the gate of Daye, Li Xuan stopped for a moment.

Xu Lu hurried forward and asked, "Your Majesty, where are you going tonight?"

"Go to Concubine Xian." Li Xuan said, and then walked towards the Jixian Palace.

There is an unimaginable peace in the quiet palace.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" the eunuch's loud voice rang out in front of the hall.

Zheng Zhi, dressed casually in a green skirt, hurried out.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Zheng Zhi turned sideways and bowed slightly.

"Yes!" Li Xuan stretched out his hand to pull Zheng Zhi up, and then walked into the palace together. Looking at the empty palace, Li Xuan asked, "Where is King Xing?"

"We went to the inner study hall." Zheng offered a cup of tea and whispered, "Mr. Kong said that Lang'er has a talent for studying, so he was allowed to enter school a year earlier."

"Liu Lang is over four years old, so it's not too early for him to start school. Just follow him." After a short pause, Li Xuan said, "This year, I will be inspecting Hebei. Shiwu Niang, you should go with me."

"Yes!" Zheng looked up in surprise and asked carefully, "Didn't you say that Sister Shufei and Prince Yan would go with you?"

"What? I asked you to go with me, but you're still not satisfied?" Li Xuan couldn't help laughing.

"I dare not." Zheng Zhi turned slightly to the side and whispered, "My home is in Xingyang, just a stone's throw away. If I go with you, it will increase the expenses of the court."

"Don't worry, I wanted you to go with me." Li Xuan stretched out his hand to pull Zheng Zhi up, gently pinched her fair chin, stroked her slender neck, and said softly: "I also want to have a daughter with you."

"Daughter?" Zheng Zhi sat in Li Xuan's arms, puzzled: "Doesn't Your Majesty already have Princess Fuchang?"

"She will be thirteen soon." Li Xuan shook her head and said, "She will be engaged in two years. Once she gets married, it will be difficult for her to return to the palace."

"A few days ago, Your Majesty took Princess Fuchang to the Youwei training ground. Did they go to look for a good son-in-law?" Zheng Zhi picked up a grape from the fruit plate beside and fed it to Li Xuan. Li Xuan crushed the grape, spit out the peel, and then shook his head gently and said, "If I want to choose a son-in-law, I must choose the best talent in the world, and the one who can catch my eye must be an extremely outstanding general.

As the saying goes, a general is bound to die in battle. I don't want my daughter to marry a general who may die at any time, so once they get married, she will definitely stay by his side, but..."

"In this way, the world will lose an outstanding general." Zheng Zhi immediately understood what Li Xuan said.

"So, my son-in-law must be chosen from among the scholars of the world." Li Xuan raised his head and said seriously, "He doesn't have to be from a top family, but he must have enough wealth. I don't ask for any dowry or anything like that. I just hope that the man's family won't feel inferior because of this."

Zheng Zhi nodded slightly, but then shook her head. It was not easy not to feel inferior in front of the princess.

"She must have a beautiful figure, elegant manners, profound knowledge, sharp eyes, a good family background, certain skills, and a harmonious family..." Li Xuan counted out her conditions one by one, and actually counted out more than a dozen in one breath.

Zheng Zhi sat in Li Xuan's arms and couldn't help but smile.

"Hahahaha..." Li Xuan paused at some point and then burst into laughter.

"Your Majesty, where can you find such a perfect man? Such a man would most likely be willing to be granted a title of nobility or become a prime minister, but would never easily marry a princess of the imperial family." Zheng leaned in Li Xuan's arms and sighed softly.

"I only have this one daughter." Li Xuan couldn't help but sighed and said, "It's not a problem for her to be made a marquis or a prime minister. Didn't Duke Mi serve as the chief secretary of the Yangzhou Grand Military Governor's Office and the Bingzhou Grand Military Governor's Office? Now he is a third-rank imperial attendant."

"Why don't men take Wu Gou and take over the fifty states in Guanshan? This is what your majesty said back then. Who would give up easily?" Zheng Zhi sighed softly.

"But the position of prime minister is not something that ordinary people can easily become. I'm afraid most of them have to be the eldest son of the family. How can an ordinary second son get the chance?" Li Xuan smiled, shook his head and said, "In fact, the second son is better. He doesn't need to bear the responsibilities of the family and can be more relaxed."

"This is actually a good idea." Zheng Zhi thought about it, raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, if there is a suitable young man in my family..."

"Of course it's suitable, otherwise why would I tell you so much today?" Li Xuan smiled softly and said, "It's hard to find a good son-in-law, so I have to look for it more."

"Your Majesty!" Zheng Zhi leaned in Li Xuan's arms, his eyes full of emotions.

"If you have any ideas, you might as well think about Liu Lang's marriage. In the blink of an eye, he is already five years old." Li Xuan held Zheng Zhi's pretty face and said seriously: "For my sons, I don't have so many requirements. I just hope that they grow up safely, have a steady character, and are good at handling government affairs. The governor of a state will really be handed over to them, and don't let my people suffer."

"Yeah!" Zheng Zhi nodded slightly.

"Pass the order, when Prince Xing comes back, let him sleep in the side hall!" After Li Xuan said this, he turned and looked at Zheng Zhi, whose cheeks blushed inexplicably.

……

Early in the morning, Li Xuan calmly walked out of Jixian Palace, then sat on the imperial sedan chair and headed towards Qianyang Palace.

Looking up, he looked towards the direction of Hebei.

Hebei, Hebei.

Li Xuan smiled bitterly and shook her head. There actually came a day when he would take advantage of her daughter's marriage.

Fortunately, he only let out a hook slightly.

The Zheng family of Xingyang, the Cui family of Boling, and the Lu family of Fanyang should all take the bait.

Li Xuan's expression became extremely cold.

He wanted to see how many of the aristocratic families in Hebei would jump out when he went to Hebei this year.

He didn't mind and killed all these people completely.

Kill until blood flows like a river.
