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

Chapter 571 The Turkic Empress, Heir to the British Duke

At some point, Li Xuan had already walked to the window, looked out at the river under the moonlight, and said softly: "This is just a preliminary plan, what exactly will happen will need to be changed from time to time, maybe they will be able to live safely and happily in the end." Maybe for the rest of my life.”

Everything has not yet begun, and the ending does not seem to be predetermined.

A hint of sadness suddenly appeared on Li Xuan's face. He knew that the possibility of this kind of thing ending happily was very small.

The root of the problem has never been with those two people, but with Li Xuan.

As he gets more and more involved in the court, those who don't like him in the court will do everything possible to attack him.

Among them, Pei Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, was the most in the lead.

On the surface, it was Li Xuan who put forward completely different views from Pei Yan on Tubo affairs, so Pei Yan tried to suppress Li Xuan.

But Li Xuan understood that Pei Yan attacked him because he was more afraid of the emperor's trust in him.

Looking at the entire younger generation of the clan, Li Xuan is the most outstanding person in terms of ability and grades.

In the future, under the impetus of the emperor, he will enter the court and occupy a key position, which is absolutely certain.

But in today's court, even Zongzheng Siqing is not the royal family, only Li Boyi, the Minister of Rites who doesn't care about things, is in office, but he can't play a role in the court.

Li Boyi is very old and dying, maybe someone has already set his sights on the position of Minister of Rites.

If Li Xuan is squeezed into the six divisions and nine ministers, there are two positions that are likely to be taken over, one is Li Boyi, the king of Longxi County, Li Boyi, and the other is his current senior inspector of the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. .

The clan does not take over the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Households, or even the Ministry of Industry.

It is acceptable to the emperor to only be responsible for the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Honglu Temple related to etiquette.

But for the ministers and workers of the world, it is not necessarily the case. They may prefer a foreign relative like Wu Chengsi to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and they are not willing to give this position to Li Xuan.

No matter what kind of achievements Li Xuan made in the future, he would eventually enter the center. Pei Yan and Wu Chengsi would definitely be his greatest enemies.

Now, then act first.

It's just that it's hard to say whether his method will work against these two old foxes. The key depends on the palace and Empress Wu's attitude.

After all, these two people are the cronies of Empress Wu.

If she intervenes, everything Li Xuan has done will most likely be completely overthrown in a short period of time.

……

"There is one more thing." Li Xuan turned around and walked to the side door. When the door was opened, a young and beautiful woman wearing a blue chest-length skirt, high nose and deep eyes, with an obvious exotic style walked out of the side door. Come in.

Walking to the center of the house, the beautiful woman knelt down to Li Xuan, calling out extremely piously and respectfully: "See Changshengtian!"

[Ashina Yun, the lord of Jianchang County, the only daughter of Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang, Ashina, the great general of Youwei, the king of Beiping, the great-granddaughter of Tuli Khan, the host believer, extremely loyal, Obedience, markable, controllable]

The great-granddaughter of Tuli Khan, the only daughter of Ashina Nishugen, Ashinayun, has now quietly become Li Xuan's follower.

But unlike others, in the eyes of Ashinayun, Li Xuan is the only god in the entire Turkic world, Changshengtian.

Even Li Xuan was shocked when he heard Ashinayun call him that for the first time.

Now the entire city of Chang'an is searching for Ashinayun, but no one has ever known that Ashinayun has been hiding on Li Xuan's official ship, and then Li Xuan took him to Zhongnan Mountain.

Li Xuan walked in front of Ashina Yun, stroked her forehead lightly, and said softly: "Stand up, step aside."

Ashina Yun retreated, and there was no one else between Li Xuan and Su Lianyu.

"From now on, Ashinayun will be a Turkic goddess. She will stay in Chang'an to secretly contact the Turkic nobles who are dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty, and then return to Turkic one day in the future to help her become a Turkic queen." Li Xuan clenched her fists.

He didn't expect that day to come, but he had to prepare for the unpredictable future.

"This subordinate obeys the order." Su Lianyu was not surprised by Ashinayun's appearance

Li Xuan is already in the center, and Tubo has made arrangements one after another, so naturally they will not let go of the powerful Turkic clan.

"The Tang Dynasty has been mobilizing Turkic troops to participate in the war for many years. The Turkic tribes have long been dissatisfied. Now seeing that the conflict between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is about to break out, the imperial court is bound to recruit more Turkic tribes to join the war. Therefore, even this time the Turkic If the dissatisfaction of the various ministries can be suppressed, then next time, they will definitely raise an army, regardless of whether there are grandsons of Xieli and Tuli leading the army."

Li Xuan shook his head. In recent days, after in-depth research on Turkic affairs, he found that unless the imperial court kills all the Turkic tribes now, or directly converts them into civilians, as long as there is still recruitment If this happened, the dissatisfaction of the Turkic people will only become more and more intense, and it will be a matter of time before they rise up against the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, no matter whether they have the blood descendants of Xieli and Tuli in their hands or not, they will rebel, and they may even create a blood descendant of Xieli and Tuli out of nothing.

This kind of thing, Li Xuan has been able to predict the future just by contacting it. It is impossible for those important officials in the center of the court, the three provinces, and the six departments to not see it. Even now, they have already begun to actively prepare.

Wait until Tubo is completely pacified, and then deal with the Turks.

But this is a very difficult situation. If Li Xuan's guess is correct, in the original history, the Tang Dynasty should have lost the battle of Tubo, but it was not defeated. It was only the battle of the Turks. According to his judgment, the Great Tang Tang should win first and then lose.

After all, the Turkic Khan Court has not appeared on the battlefield for many years. It may not be so easy for the tribes of the grassland to unite at once to fight against the Tang Dynasty who knows them well.

How to obtain his own merits in these two battles is what Li Xuan needs to face seriously now.

The army, the military, and military strength are the foundation of our foothold.

Li Xuan turned to look at Su Lianyu, and said seriously: "Those people from the Demon Sect will never let you go, you have to be careful, if they want to find the queen, you can just tell her that she has something to do and leave. she……"

Li Xuan walked to Ashinayun's side, and lightly touched Ashinayun's clean jaw with her slender fingers.

Looking at this exotic face, Li Xuan said softly: "Her identity is also based on security, even if she can't contact anyone, her identity cannot be exposed, and her strength and cultivation base are the only ones that can't be exposed. You have to teach yourself, on the grassland, if you don't have the strength, you can't kill people."

"This subordinate obeys the order." Su Lianyu bowed seriously.

"In the East Municipal Office at the east gate of Pingkangfang, there is a spice shop run by Hu merchants from the Western Regions. This is the address. If you feel that you have any news that you must tell me, send it there immediately. I don't care if it's in Tiannanhai. North, they will send the news to me." Li Xuan looked to the southwest sideways, and many of his deployments in Chang'an had been handed over to Liu Jinyu.

But many of those things have already fallen into the eyes of the palace, and now it just happens to hide the hidden things deeper.

"What should be explained, this seat has already explained, no matter what time, you two should put your own safety first, and if you encounter risks, you should give up and give up completely." Li Xuan waved his hand for the last time and said: "Go, wait until this seat Come back years ago, let’s meet again.”

"Tianjun, take care," Su Lianyu and Ashinayun bowed at the same time, and then quietly retreated into the darkness.

Li Xuan sighed softly, turned around, and left the room.

On the board of the ship, Li Bi stood silently on one side.

Li Xuan raised her head and looked at the deep sky.

……

The morning light flickered, suddenly illuminating the entire bedroom in an instant.

Li Xuan, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes silently, and his thoughts returned to his mind in an instant.

The sound of "嘤" instantly attracted Li Xuan's attention.

I don't know if she noticed Li Xuan's waking up, Liu Jinyu turned over subconsciously, the long snow-white neck appeared in Li Xuan's line of sight, her rosy cheeks, her eyes that seemed to be opened but were tightly closed.

His brows were furrowed, his temple hair was disheveled, strands of hair covered his face, and his brows were slightly covered with yellow forehead.

The laziness of getting up in the morning is fully displayed on this face.

Li Xuan just looked at it gently, her breathing became much lighter unconsciously.

I don't know how long it took, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

There was a sound of pushing the door hard, followed by Infinite Qiongyu's milky voice: "Third sister, third brother-in-law, we are going to go boating, are you ready, third sister, third brother-in-law!"

Liu Jinyu's right face suddenly wrinkled, and the next moment, her eyes opened, and she sat up on the bed.

Confused for a while, the red dress restrained her exquisite body, making Li Xuan beside her eat ice cream.

Qiongyu's yelling outside the door woke Liu Jinyu up immediately, and she immediately yelled outside: "Qiongyu, go have breakfast first, the third sister will be here soon."

"Oh!" Qiongyu heard her sister's voice, turned around and left obediently.

At this time, Liu Jinyu turned around, gave Li Xuan a hard look, and touched Li Xuan's waist with her left hand: "Mr. Lang, you're awake, why don't you wake up the concubine, and make the concubine sleepy?" I almost made a fool of myself in front of Mingyu."

Li Xuan grabbed Liu Jinyu's left hand, and leaned forward directly: "Why do you get up early, this is another courtyard, and my mother is not here, you and I are in charge here, you and I can sleep as long as we want how long!"

……

In the side pavilion of the main hall, Wuniang Qiongyu raised her small face and looked at the third sister on one side. Her face was full of doubts. She always felt that there was something wrong with the third sister, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Si Niang Liu Shubi on the side lowered her head vigorously, eating her own breakfast non-stop, as if she didn't see the blush on Liu Jinyu's face that couldn't go away.

Liu Jinyu didn't know what to say at this time, so she gave Li Xuan an angry look, then bowed her head and went to eat breakfast.

At this time, Li Zhong suddenly appeared at the door of the side hall, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the county magistrate has just sent a congratulatory gift and a letter."

"Oh!" Li Xuan came out from the side hall, took the letter, and asked, "Magistrate of the county, I remember that my surname is Li, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Li Jingyou, the county magistrate, is the grandson of the British Duke and the younger brother of the British Duke Li Jingye."

Li Jingyou, grandson of Li Ji, younger brother of Li Jingye.

Li Xuan was stunned.
