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

Chapter 573 The girl messed around, summoned on a rainy night

The continuous drizzle quietly landed on the whole of Chang'an at dusk.

The brown jujube-wooden carriage drove slowly towards the Lecheng County Government House in the rainy night.

In the carriage, Wuniang Qiongyu had already fallen asleep in a daze after playing for a whole day.

Liu Jinyu leaned against the car wall, holding Qiongyu in her arms, beside her, Li Xuan sat in the car door, using her body to block the raindrops sweeping in from outside.

At this time, Li Xuan heard Liu Jinyu suddenly speak behind him, looked at Liu Shubi and said, "Si Niang, you will have a wedding next year, right?"

Liu Shubi, who had dozed off, woke up immediately. After hearing Liu Jinyu's question, she nodded with a sad expression, and said, "It's Gushi Chen, the nephew of Chen Zheng, the doctor of the court, general Guide, and the commander of the Lingnan March. The grandson of Mrs. Wei Jing in Gushi, the time of marriage depends on what the Chen family says."

"Gushi Chen family?" Li Xuan spoke at this time, frowning tightly, looked at Liu Jinyu and asked, "This is not a good choice, why did Yue Weng choose the Gushi Chen family?"

Liu Jinyu shook her head, and said softly: "It's not surprising. In the second year of Zongzhang, Quanchao Manliao rebelled, and General Guide was ordered to go south to suppress the rebellion. The army was as strong as a broken bamboo, all the way to the foot of Jiulong Mountain.

But soon the army was impatient with the local water, food and miasma, the soldiers fell ill, the army reversed, and finally was trapped.After Mrs. Wei Jing learned about it, she asked her to lead troops to the south to help, and His Majesty allowed her to lead more than [-] children, grandchildren and soldiers to the south to help. "

"Gushi Chen, my husband seems to have heard about it somewhere... By the way, someone from Yangzhou Xu once served under the command of General Guide." Li Xuan finally remembered that when Lu Yuanfang entertained him in Yangzhou, Introduced to Yangzhou Xu family Xu Yizhi.

"Lang Jun is talking about Xu Tao, the left leader of the guard. He is indeed serving under the command of the Lingnan marching commander. However, the Xu family in Yangzhou is a branch of the Xu family in Hangzhou. Xu Tao is the nephew of the former prime minister Xu Jingzong. The history of the Chen family can be seen at a glance." Liu Jinyu's face was slightly solemn, she knew the background of these government and opposition officials better than anyone else.

Xu Jingzong and Li Xuan couldn't help frowning slightly.

The commander of the Lingnan Marching Army was at least at the level of the General of the Sixteen Guards in the court, but Chen Zheng kept him in Fujian as if he had been deliberately forgotten.

The reason for this, just the word "Xu Jingzong" is enough to explain it.

The former Prime Minister Xu Jingzong was a confidant of Empress Wu, but after his death, he was given the posthumous title of "Gong", which means "the past can be corrected".

At that time, few people knew that before "Gong", the posthumous title originally set by the imperial court was "Miao", "name and reality", and a bad posthumous title.

A group of Empress Wu tried their best to fight each other, and finally got the word "Gong".

Reckless revision of history and ineffective governance of the family are the conclusions of the ruling and opposition parties on him.

Therefore, everyone who got close to Xu Jingzong was driven away from the center one by one, such as Chen Zheng.

"The Chen family is in Quanzhou now." Liu Jinyu said a word, and Liu Shubi couldn't help sobbing.

The Chen family's family is in Gushi, Henan, but Liu Shubi's fiancé is in Quanzhou. Maybe they will get married in Gushi in the future, but after marriage, they will definitely go to Quanzhou.

Although there are family members in the court who cannot be officials, Fujian is special. The Chen family led the villagers to Quanzhou, which is equivalent to moving to Quanzhou.

Not to mention, Mrs. Wei Jing, Chen's grandmother, is also in Quanzhou, so most of the Chen family's wives and children will move to Quanzhou.

When a woman gets married, she already leaves home, so she has to move thousands of miles away. Although it is not lonely and helpless, it is very acceptable.

"It's a little better." Liu Jinyu sat down, hugged Liu Shubi in her arms, and said softly: "The father and mother of the Chen family died of illness when they moved to Bamin, so we only need to honor our grandmother, Mrs. Wei Jing." That's good... I heard that Mrs. Wei Jing is the sister of the former Prime Minister Wei Zheng, her family education is strict, so you don't have to worry about marrying someone who is not good."

"That's good, at least he is a self-motivated person." Li Xuan smiled lightly and said, "Although my brother-in-law will definitely be transferred from Wuzhou in the future, Nanchang is not far from Quanzhou. Maybe my husband and I will meet each other in the future." Settling down in Nanchang, Si Niang can come to Nanchang when the time comes, brother-in-law and San Niang will also go to Quanzhou to see you."

"Then it's better to just marry the third brother-in-law." Wuniang Qiongyu woke up in a daze at some point, and didn't know what she heard. When she said a word, Liu Jinyu and Liu Shubi couldn't bear it. I couldn't help laughing through my tears.

Li Xuan shook her head, turned around and poked her head out, looking out at the road in the rainy night.

Behind her, Wuniang Qiongyu shook the arm of the third sister Liu Jinyu, pouted and said: "Sister, I will marry the husband-in-law of the third brother when I grow up, and I will be able to eat delicacies from mountains and seas in the future, and I can sleep as long as I want Until what time, you can still play every day..."

Liu Jinyu and Liu Shubi in the carriage burst into laughter at the same time.

The girl lied.

……

After sending the Liu sisters home, the carriage slowly headed towards Kaihuafang. Hearing the sound of crackling raindrops, Li Xuan hugged Liu Jinyu, and she didn't know where she went.

"What is Mr. Lang thinking?" Liu Jinyu suddenly raised her head to look at Li Xuan, with an unknown meaning shining in her black eyes.

Li Xuan came back to her senses, then moved close to Liu Jinyu's ear, and said in a low voice, "I'm just thinking about my husband, it's only been a few days, and Sanniang has already plumped up a lot."

"What nonsense." Liu Jinyu gave Li Xuan an angry look, and at the same time, her hand touched Li Xuan's waist in a blink of an eye, and said in a dangerous tone: "Isn't Mr. Lang thinking about something he shouldn't be thinking about?" .”

"Something you shouldn't be thinking about." Li Xuan was slightly taken aback, somewhat confused about what Liu Jinyu meant.

But then he put these things behind him, stretched out his hand again to hold Liu Jinyu in his arms, and said in a low voice: "My husband is here, how is the investigation of the King of the East China Sea going?"

Donghai King revealed his identity, and even knew that he must have made perfect preparations, but whether it was Qianniuwei, Jinwuwei, Dali Temple, Ministry of Punishment, Ministry of War, Yongzhou Mansion, Chang'an Wannian Second County, they could not be ignored.

They must do their best to track down the clues of the King of the East China Sea.

One is to explain something to the palace, and the other is to plot just in case.

What if the king of the East China Sea reveals some flaws, once this kind of case is solved, it will immediately be the road to Qingyun.

Few people would ignore such a rare opportunity. If there were too many people staring at him, the king of the East China Sea would naturally be restrained in doing things.

Li Xuan was somewhat skeptical that the King of the East China Sea would completely calm down at this time.

"Mr. Lang doesn't care about the Jinwu Guard. He took his concubine to go on vacation. Does he really care about whether he can catch the King of the East China Sea?" Liu Jinyu raised her head and looked at Li Xuan with a half-smile.

Li Xuan gave her an annoyed look, and then said: "Don't you know whether my husband has tracked it down? Besides, among the Jinwu Guards, who can hide the transfer of personnel from the palace? What is my king's idea?" , Tianhou has long seen that she is letting this king do what she wants."

Qianniuwei, Jinwuwei, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, Yongzhou Prefecture, and Wannian County in Chang'an, together, cover almost the entire area of ​​Chang'an, and each party has its own direction of investigation.

Li Xuan admitted that the king of the East China Sea had planned for a long time on this matter, and almost cut off all the clues.

But they are not incompetent people. Dali Temple has Di Renjie, and Jinwuwei has Yao Chong.

Not to mention, there are Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan hiding behind, Pei Yan and Pei Xingjian are also watching.

Even the hidden guards and secret guards are searching in the palace. If the king of Donghai shows any flaws in this matter, he will be finished.

This is the layout of Empress Wu.

"Then who do you think the King of the East China Sea is?" Liu Jinyu raised her head and looked at Li Xuan curiously.

Li Xuan's expression suddenly became solemn, he looked at Liu Jinyu and said, "Lady, after you leave Chang'an for your husband, try not to go out on weekdays, and don't go to the poetry clubs of those literati, people from the second county of Wannian in Chang'an If they come to the door, you directly let them go to the Jinwu Guard, if someone from the Jin Wu Guard comes to the door, no matter who it is, they will be directly detained and sent to Qianniu Guard."

Liu Jinyu was a little confused, so: "Then what if someone from Qianniuwei came to the door?"

"If Qian Niuwei comes to the door, then there is something to do." Li Xuan smiled, reached out and pinched Liu Jinyu's nose, and then said with a smile: "Why, you thought that your husband asked you to give up Qian Niuwei's personality?" Did you kill it?"

"Isn't it?" Liu Jinyu raised her head and looked at Li Xuan with a serious face.

It seemed that if Li Xuan really explained it like this, Liu Jinyu would really do the same.

Li Xuan shook her head amusedly, and said: "General Qianniuwei on the left is the King of Beiping County, and General Qianniuwei on the right is the Duke of Liang County. As long as these two are around, Qianniuwei will be the most solid backing."

Qianniuwei is more trustworthy than Jinwuwei, Li Xuan can see this very clearly.

Don't look at the Jinwu Guard with Qin Jun and Cui Ding, but if something happens, these two may not be able to withstand it, on the contrary, they are the clan.

Liu Jinyu nodded seriously, and said, "I understand."

Li Xuan held her tightly in his arms, and said softly: "Living in Chang'an is not easy, and no one knows who is planning what, Sanniang, the only best way to avoid all this is to hurry up and give it to my husband." Give birth to a big fat boy..."

"Lang Jun, let go, this is in the car..."

……

The carriage slowly drove into Prince Peng's mansion, and the rain had become heavier at some point. Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu's clothes were still wet a lot even though they were supported by oil umbrellas.

"Mum!" Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu entered the Tang Dynasty, and immediately saluted the mother and concubine Ouyang who had been waiting.

Ouyang quickly helped Liu Jinyu up, and said with a bit of distress: "You're not wet, go back to the room to wipe off, change your clothes, and my mother will ask you to make ginger soup."

"Mum!" Li Xuan stood up by herself, feeling helpless seeing this mother who had a daughter-in-law but no son in her eyes.

"What mother, you are such a big person, you can't do anything if you get caught in the rain, won't you go into the house and do it yourself?" Ouyang gave Li Xuan an angry look.

Li Xuan looked at Liu Jinyu helplessly, and saw Liu Jinyu secretly laughing at him.

Li Xuan couldn't help but laughed along with her, and her concubine Ouyang, as well as the servants of the butler at home, also laughed along with her.

At this time, outside the gate of the mansion, there was a rush of horseshoes.

Immediately afterwards, a group of Qianniu Guards appeared in front of the mansion, jumped off their horses, and walked towards the mansion. The leader was Zhou Qian. Zhou Gan had no time to reminisce with Li Xuan, so he cupped his hands and said: " The Queen of Heaven ordered that King Xuan Nanchang enter the palace immediately."
