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

Chapter 578 The Bloody Devil's Nanchang King

The red candle burned out, and the night was lingering.

Or the future is different, and the new wife is especially obsessed.

It was pitch black outside the window, and breath was heard inside the window.

"Lang Jun!" Liu Jinyu's soft voice rang in Li Xuan's ear.

The sound of soft breathing made Li Xuan's heart itch, but it's a pity that his wife is weak, so he had to be patient.

"My lady!" Li Xuan hugged Liu Jinyu into her arms, and while fondling the smoothness of her fingertips, she joked softly: "You and I will not see each other for four months at most, so why be so reluctant."

"Lang Jun." Liu Jinyu was a little shy, and a little dissatisfied with Li Xuan's teasing. One hand had already reached his waist, but before he could exert any force, the other hand had already grasped it.

Liu Jinyu spat secretly, and then said in a low voice: "It's Grandmother, Grandmother hopes that this concubine can conceive an heir as soon as possible."

When it comes to offspring, even an intelligent and transparent woman like Liu Jinyu is unavoidably worried about gains and losses.

"Son, it's a matter of gods and ghosts, how can we force it." Li Xuan stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from Liu Jinyu's forehead, and then whispered in her ear: "However, even gods and ghosts have to bow their heads because of my husband's hard work." .”

"What nonsense." Liu Jinyu pushed Li Xuan away, but the bed was only so big, it was only between one arm and the other.

Li Xuan moved forward a little, then hugged Liu Jinyu into her arms again, and said in a low voice: "My husband is about to leave Beijing, if my wife is fine, you might as well get closer to Taiping."

"Princess?" Liu Jinyu raised her head and looked at Li Xuan, her eyes were full of surprise.

Princess Taiping is only in her early ten years old now, a little girl.

Li Xuan didn't explain, and continued: "Huan'er and Taiping are a pair of little sisters, they often play together, the lady doesn't need to be too deliberate, just take care of Huan'er more.

Now that the lady is in the clan, being close to the princess is a clan relationship, no one will gossip... In case of any accident, there will be another way to talk directly to the queen and the sage, and there may only be one chance. "

There was a hint of worry in Li Xuan's voice, he had not been back to Chang'an for less than a month, and he had already provoked Pei Yan, Wu Chengsi's cronies, not to mention Ming Chongyan and Beimen scholar Liu Yizhi.

As he stepped deeper and deeper into the court, the conflicts with those people would only become more and more severe. Who knew when and what means they would use.

At this time, Princess Taiping, who was out of everyone's sight, would most likely become Li Xuan's last advantage.

Even more advantageous than Prince Li Xian.

"Is Mr. Lang planning for the future?" Although Liu Jinyu didn't know what Li Xuan was worried about, Liu Jinyu could still understand his train of thought.

"It's just trying to protect myself." Li Xuan held his lovely wife in his arms, looked at the dark curtain above his head, and said softly: "Yue Weng is old, but he is still busy with state affairs, and his body is damaged!"

Some words were not pleasant, so Li Xuan didn't say them, but Liu Jinyu understood them all.

Under the cruel factional struggle in the court, it is necessary to reserve a way out in advance.

Liu Rengui is 75 years old, and it's hard to say how many years he can last.

Without his support in the court, Li Xuan will become more and more difficult.

Having said that, Liu Jinyu faintly felt that there was some untraceable and terrifying fact hidden in Li Xuan's words, but she couldn't say what it was.

Li Xuan reached out and gently touched Liu Jinyu's lower abdomen, and whispered in her ear: "Do you think you already have it now?"

"Ok?"

……

It was just dawn, and in front of the gate of the Nanchang Palace, servants, large and small, were loading their luggage into the carriage.

"Mum, take care!" Li Xuan stood at the door, facing her concubine Ouyang, flicked the hem of her clothes, and knelt down directly.

"Bang bang bang" kowtowed three times, then turned around and stood up, took a deep look at Liu Jinyu who was beside Ouyang, Li Xuan got on the horse directly, and walked towards the east gate without looking back.

Seeing the back of Li Xuan leaving, Ouyang sighed softly and said, "I wonder if Da Lang is in danger or not when he returns to Silla?"

Liu Jinyu stood on one side, unable to bear the desire to tell the truth, but in the end she tightly shut her mouth.

Last night, Li Xuan had already told her exactly what happened in Penglai Palace.

Liu Jinyu had long understood that Li Xuan would never go to Silla this trip.

What Li Xuan had to deal with was not the army of Silla, the most direct one was just a Silla pleading envoy.

Other things like the king of the East China Sea's secret line in Yangzhou and the instigation of the Japanese kingdom are all secondary matters.

Li Xuan's safety is safe, but on the side of Prince Peng's Mansion, people may use tricks to try to find out the truth about Li Xuan's trip to the east this time.

Although my mother is an elder, it is not suitable to talk to her about this kind of thing.

What's more, my mother has a lot of clan relations in Chang'an to move around. Who knows what day and time, I don't know how to say a word, and it will affect the overall political situation of the entire government.

"San Niang, during this period of time, don't go anywhere except the mansion and your in-laws' home." Ouyang raised her head and glanced at Liu Jinyu, her eyes were full of clarity.

Liu Jinyu was solemn for a moment, then bowed and said, "Daughter-in-law made a note."

"Yeah!" Ouyang raised his head and nodded to the watching eyes all around, then turned around and took Liu Jinyu's hand, and returned to the inner courtyard.

Just standing in the middle hall, Liu Jinyu saw a bowl of medicine placed on the table.

She looked at Ouyang Shi in surprise, and asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Grandmother is fine." Ouyang looked at Liu Jinyu with a smile, and said eagerly, "This bowl is anti-fetal medicine, which is specially prepared by Grandmother for you."

"Ah!" Liu Jinyu's eyes widened immediately.

……

Morning bells and drums echoed throughout the entire city of Chang'an.

The Chunming Gate was already wide open at this time, but when the morning bells and drums stopped completely, the people were allowed to enter and exit through the Chunming Gate, but today, for some reason, more people went out and fewer people came in.

As soon as they left the Chunming Gate, they immediately saw people in twos and threes gathered outside the city gate, pointing in the direction of the wharf one mile away.

Three huge official ships docked at the pier, and groups of soldiers in bright armor quickly gathered from all directions, and then quickly boarded the official ships.

The flags are unfurled, the imposing manner is formidable, the bright armor, sharp blades, and a murderous look.

The people who had just come out of the city gate couldn't help asking around after seeing this scene.

Where is this going to war?
Soon, a so-called extremely secret news quickly spread among the crowd.

Silla seduced Baekje's old generals to rebel, and the imperial court ordered the King of Nanchang to reorganize his troops in the southeast and travel east to Silla for reinforcements.

Immediately, the people were in an uproar, and couldn't help murmuring to each other, and the news quickly spread to the whole city.

In the distance, on the city wall, in a turret, a middle-aged man in a green official robe looked suspiciously at the big ship in the distance, as if he was surprised by everything in front of him.

The response speed of the court was really too fast.

Almost overnight, the center made a decision to aid the East Island, so what about the Western Regions, and what about Tubo?

In recent years, in order to prepare for the Tubo war, the imperial court has transferred a large amount of money and food to the western states, but there is still a big gap. It is precisely because of this that they want to stop the war with Silla.

The money and food that Hebei Road transports to Andong Road every year are transferred to the west, but now, instead of withdrawing troops, the imperial court wants to mobilize the navy to support Andong Road.

Although it is said that the navy will not participate in the battle against Tubo, the move of the navy will also consume a lot of money and food.

At that time, the money and food from Hebei and Jiangnan provinces will not be able to be transferred to the west, and the war between the imperial court and Tubo will be postponed.

The emperor actually accepted the postponement of the war with Tubo that the court had prepared for many years. Did something happen that he didn't know?
The green-robed official frowned. At this time, at the gate of the city, a group of Jinwu guards escorted a carriage out from under the gate, and the green-robed official immediately became solemn.

The carriage drove slowly to the pier and stopped, the curtains were opened, and Silla's pleading envoy Qin, who was covered in green robes, stepped out of the carriage with a worried face.

At this moment, a young nobleman wearing a black gold silk robe slowly walked out from the shadow of the big ship.

The moment he saw that figure, Qin Obtuse Angle Gan's expression instantly became embarrassing.

Li Xuan, king of Nanchang.

Seeing Li Xuan's appearance, it was not only the blunt horns, but also the green-robed officials on the city wall that changed their expressions.

Because what he said seriously last night, that the imperial court could not send King Nanchang into Silla, looks like a joke now.

Suddenly, the green-robed official on the high wall saw Li Xuan suddenly turned his head and looked in his direction.

The green-robed official stepped back suddenly, retreating into the shadow of the turret, avoiding Li Xuan's sight.

……

Li Xuan looked away, the city wall in the distance was at the end of his line of sight, and he couldn't see who was there, but he knew there was someone there, and he was basically sure who it was.

King of the East China Sea.

At this moment, the only one who is interested in spying this way is the East China Sea King.

If he was really the person Li Xuan had guessed, it would not be surprising that he appeared on the city wall.

Turning around, Li Xuan's expression became indifferent, and her footsteps stopped, and her cold eyes looked up and down at Qin Duogan who had just stood under the car.

Several Jinwu guards forced Qin Dujiaogan to move forward, the closer he got to Li Xuan, the more nervous Qin Dujiaogan's frightened expression became.

Although Li Xuan had never seen Qin Dujiaoqian, Qin Dujiaogan had seen him from afar.

Especially all the time, Li Xuan solved strange cases, pacified the sky, and arrested Turks, one by one, which had already left a deep impression in Qin's heart.

Especially those two bloody heads in Yangzhou were deeply pierced in the bottom of Qin Obtuse Jiaogan's heart.

When he came to five steps in front of Li Xuan, the surrounding Jinwu Guards immediately stopped in their tracks.

Qin Obtuse Jiaoqian also subconsciously stopped, and then couldn't help looking at Li Xuan.

At this moment, Li Xuan said indifferently: "Silla envoy!"

"The guilty minister is here!" Qin Dujiaogan's legs softened, and he fell to his knees involuntarily, and then bowed to Li Xuan with a face full of fear: "Silla's envoy, Qin Dujiaoqian, has met the king of Nanchang, the king of the county. Best of luck."

"Apologize, who dares to plead guilty as Silla, plead guilty here, seduce people to rebel there, is this the way you Silla people do things?" Li Xuan showed a sneer of disdain.

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister doesn't know all this, the guilty minister really doesn't know, please forgive me!" Qin Obtuse Jiaoqian bowed deeply to the ground again, his face was full of pain, fear and remorse.

He had just returned to the embassy last night when he was immediately arrested by the Jinwu Guard.

From last night until now, he hadn't eaten any rice, and all the followers he brought had disappeared without a trace.

Datang has already torn face with Silla, and it is even very likely that he will not be kept alive.

Fortunately, after being sent outside the city today, Qin Dujiaogan was relieved, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Li Xuan.

Nanchang King of the bloody devil.

"This is the end of the matter, and there is no point in talking about everything else." Standing up straight, Li Xuan looked up at Chang'an City in the distance, and said softly: "Now, let us use the blade to decide the fate of our two countries."

After Li Xuan's words, Qin's blunt horned dry expression suddenly changed.

At this time, I saw Li Xuan waved his hand fiercely, and said coldly: "Let him stand at the bow of the boat and enjoy it, the people of the Tang Dynasty hate and spurn such an untrustworthy person like him."

"Your Majesty, forgive me..."
