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

Chapter 589 The clan is involved, and the old man is built

The waning moon was like a hook, and the weather was cold. Li Xuan flipped through the white book in front of him, with a serious expression on his face.

The white book and the yellow book, the yellow book is used to register the household registration and field records of common people, but the white book is only used to register the household registration and field books of officials and eunuchs.

Li Huainian, a professor in Yangzhou Prefecture, his father Li Xiyu, a commoner, former Ankang County Duke, Chief History of Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Jiangnan Inspection Ambassador; brother Li Huaien, former Prince Zhan Shifu Zuo Zhanshi.

Li Xizhi, Duke of Shi'an County, Shangzhu State, Doctor Guanglu, Brother Li Xiyu, Uncle Li Huainian.

Li Huaiyan, Li Xizhizi, Minister of Rites.

Li Xuansi, Li Xizhizi, Zhonglang General of the Beimen Forbidden Army.

……

Yu Ze stood on one side, silent.

After a long time, Li Xuan couldn't help chuckling, and said in a low voice: "It turned out to be the clan, and it turned out to be involved with the clan in the end."

Li Xuan started, and Yu Ze slightly cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Duke Ankang was expelled from his rank many years ago and demoted to a commoner, he is no longer a member of the Great Tang clan."

"However, his brother is still right!" Li Xuan took a deep breath, it's tricky.

Li Xizhi's family was not from the Li clan in Yangzhou, but from the Li clan in Longxi, who later settled in Yangzhou.

His father, Li Jingyou, Duke of Ankang County, was a native of Di Dao in Longxi, and was the governor of Taizhou in the former Sui Dynasty.

Li Jingyou has two sons.

The eldest son, Li Xizhi, was born as a concubine. During the Daye period, he started his family as the prefect of Shi'an County, and later surrendered to Xiao Xian.

Li Xizhi was stationed in Guilin for 28 years. He became an official as Shi'an County Duke, Guanglu Doctor, and Fenzhou Governor. He originally lived in Chang'an and later moved to Hangzhou.

The second son Li Xiyu, the first son, was appointed as the Shaoqing of the Taifu and the Duke of Ankang during the reign of Wude.

Later, he was abolished as a civilian for some reason, exiled to Quanzhou, and died.

Li Xizhi has two sons, the eldest son Li Huaiyan, who is currently the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the second son Li Xuansi, who is the Zhonglangjun of the Beimen Forbidden Army.

Li Xiyu also had only two sons. The eldest son, Li Huai'en, was the former prince Zhan Shifu Zuo Zhan, and died of illness during the Zhenguan period.

"Mr. Shi'an is currently staying in Yangzhou, probably just to keep an eye on Li Huainian, but he probably would never have imagined that this person is still connected with the descendants of Prince Yin Jiancheng." Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little troublesome.

There are a lot of things here that I can't see clearly, but judging from the fact that Li Huainian is now associated with the King of the East China Sea, his elder brother Li Huai'en's role back then may also have a lot to do with Prince Yin.

Even his father, Duke Ankang, was deposed as a commoner and died in exile in Quanzhou, which was inseparable from Prince Yin.

"My lord, now Li Huainian is just a professor of state studies, and he shouldn't be able to make any big waves. At most, he is just delivering news for the king of the East China Sea." Yu Ze stepped forward to comfort him.

"It's not that simple, Uncle Yu, you've overlooked an important factor, the Li family of Yangzhou." Li Xuan sighed lightly, and said, "The Li family of Yangzhou is different from the Li family of Zhaojun.

Compared with the royal family like Li Xuan, although the Li family in Yangzhou has a marginal blood, it is easier to be valued by the court. The emperor's promotion of the clan is mainly based on this kind of people.

Li Xuan raised her head and looked at Yu Ze: "Although the four families in Yangzhou are the Shen family, Xu family, Lu family, and Meng family, the real first family should be the Li family in Yangzhou, but they have always kept a low profile."

Now that the Tang Dynasty is in power, the descendants of the Li family have already been scattered in every corner of the world. While encroaching on the world, they are also stabilizing the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the Li family in Yangzhou is not a high official, they are all in some prominent positions.

Just like Li Shan who was visited by Li Xuan last time.

Li Shan, the son of Li Yuanzhe, the former magistrate of Kuocang County in Kuozhou, started his career as Secretary Lang, and later became the magistrate of Jingcheng County.

King Pei is the present prince Li Xian.

It's a pity that Li Shan was once recommended by He Lanmin, but he was implicated and exiled to Lingnan.

If there is no such thing, once Li Xian ascends the throne, Li Shan will inevitably have the position of prime minister.

The Li family in Yangzhou is investing in Li Xian, but although this investment failed, it also avoided the threat of being uprooted later.

"Although the entire Yangzhou Li family is not visible, the family business has already penetrated into all aspects. If Li Huai'en uses the Yangzhou Li family to do something, it may be difficult to detect for a while."

Li Xuan looked up at Yu Ze, with a solemn expression, and said, "Send an order to find out all the personnel relations and industrial connections of the Li family in Yangzhou. This king wants to know the biggest damage they can do."

"Here!" Li Xuan immediately cupped her hands.

Li Xuan nodded, and then added: "Also, send the greeting card to Mr. Li's mansion, the king will pay a personal visit tomorrow."

"Here!" Yu Ze turned around quickly and left.

Li Xuan's eyes narrowed, the matter of the Li family in Yangzhou must be resolved, and it must be resolved as soon as possible.

Li Xuan had a feeling that if he ignored the Li family in Yangzhou, he might be in big trouble.

Especially in Yangzhou.

……

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Li Xuan frowned and looked up, and saw Zhou Gan appearing at the door with a solemn face.

Li Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Gan cupped his hands immediately, and said solemnly: "Yongchang County Lord was assassinated just now?"

"Huh?" Li Xuan stood up immediately, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

As soon as he was about to take a step, Yu Ze couldn't help but hold him back: "My lord, this is not for Miss Liang, this is for my lord, be careful!"

Li Xuan paused, took a deep breath, and said, "Send the order, all members of Qianniuwei must gather and rush to Yongchang County's palace."

"Here!" Zhou Gan cupped his hands and turned around immediately.

Li Xuan turned around, looked at Yu Ze, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send an order that the Yangzhou Mansion has a curfew half an hour earlier tonight. After the curfew, the officials and civilians will be arrested immediately if they violate the prohibition. If they encounter resistance, no matter who they are, they will be arrested and killed immediately; the Xinlin Mansion will be ordered to rush to Duwei Shijin, mobilize the headquarters, and immediately block Shanshanfang."

The residence of Li Xizhi, Duke of Shi'an County, is Shanshanfang.

After Yu Ze quickly returned to the table, he had already written a letter of orders in a blink of an eye.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Xuan directly signed and stamped these orders.

Putting the deputy envoy's seal back into the seal box, Li Xuan said in a deep voice, "Send all orders to Dou Changshi."

"Here!" Yu Ze immediately cupped his hands.

"This king was still considering how to deal with it so as to have the least impact on Duke Shi'an, but now it seems that he really can't relax for a while." Li Xuan's face showed a trace of ruthlessness.

After all, the Duke of Shi'an made great contributions to the court. His two sons, one served as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the other served as the general of the imperial army, both were important officials in the court.

Li Xuan didn't want to make everything too ugly, but the matter had come to this point, and he could no longer choose everything.

Seeing Li Xuan turn around and walk into the inner room, Yu Ze couldn't help but sigh softly, but his expression became relaxed.

Because it is the best for Li Xuan to do it now.

The clan, sometimes it is a help, and sometimes it is a resistance.

……

"Dangdangdang" the sound of bells and drums reverberated in the entire Yangzhou City in an instant.

The faces of the people in the entire Yangzhou City were stunned. What's going on, why the curfew has been brought forward.

It has been many years, and the curfew in Yangzhou Prefecture has not been passed earlier.

At this moment, a loud sound of horseshoes sounded on the street.

Immediately afterwards, a group of Qianniuwei in red and gold armor appeared on the street.

The battle armor is bright, the blade is sharp, and the murderous look is awe-inspiring. People can't help but recall what happened a few months ago.

Earlier, when the King of Nanchang passed through Yangzhou, this was how he eradicated the evil tumors of the Cao Gang. Now...

The King of Nanchang seems to have arrived in Yangzhou again now, who is he eyeing again?
Why are there no soldiers and officers from Yangzhou Prefecture to follow this time.

Because last time, Li Xuan was just a passer-by, but this time, he is an imperial envoy who has the right to kill first and then act later.

Li Xuan was riding on a tall horse, wearing red clothes and gold armor, with Cui Ding and Zhou Gan on both sides, Su Baotong and Zhang Huan behind, and a whole team of Qianniu guards.

Li Xuan of the Jinwu Guard brought a Cui Ding, after all, the Jinwu Guard did not have the power to arrest rebels in other states, this is the right of the Qianniu Guard.

As the gust of wind passed by his ears, Li Xuan's expression had completely calmed down.

Why would someone assassinate Liang Fuling, who would assassinate Liang Fuling, and why at this juncture?

Li Xuan thought of Yu Ze grabbing his arm before leaving, with a worried look on his face, no doubt, anyone could see that the assassination was aimed at him.

To assassinate Liang Fuling, someone was trying to provoke Li Xuan, and at the same time took the opportunity to do something.

In other words, under Li Xuan's anger, all actions may be under the calculation of the other party.

In an instant, Li Xuan wanted to understand what the other party wanted to do.

After all, Li Xuan is also an expert in these methods.

In an instant, he completely calmed down.

His right hand slowly dropped to the hilt of the sword at his waist.

……

The servants of Yongchang Bo's Mansion and Yangzhou Governor's Mansion have arrived first.

Apart from them, Li Xuan's Qianniuwei was the second to arrive, not even Shi Jin.

"My lord, Yongchang county magistrate was stabbed in the back, but the injury is not serious. Now it has been bandaged and is resting." Cao Wuxiang, the governor of the Yangzhou governor's mansion, led Li Xuan, walking towards the depths of the mansion.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Yongchang County Lord is the fifth-rank wife. She just returned from Wuzhou not long ago. She is a quiet person. She doesn't go out often, and she doesn't have any enemies in Yangzhou."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan looked up at Wu Xiang and said: "Has the law and order in Yangzhou Prefecture become so bad? There used to be Cao gangs who stole and sold women and smuggled arms, and now there are court wives who are attacked. Wu joins the army, and you, the law Cao joins the army, I'm afraid it will be the end of it!"

"My lord!" Wu Xiang stopped immediately and looked at Li Xuan with an ugly expression.

If Li Xuan was just a visitor to Yangzhou a few months ago, then now he already has the power to kill all officials in Yangzhou except Dou Xuande.

With just this sentence from Li Xuan, after he returns, he can directly dismiss Wu Xiang from his position as law officer of Yangzhou Governor's Mansion.

Seeing that Wu Xiang wanted to explain something, but still didn't know how to explain, Li Xuan waved his hand directly and said, "The most important thing tonight is to catch the assassin, otherwise the one who has an accident today may be the Lord of Yongchang County, and the one who has an accident tomorrow may also be this king."

Li Xuan said a word, and then walked directly into the bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, on the bed, a little girl in a purple skirt was lying sideways on the bed, with a large area of ​​white skin on her back directly exposed.

A long bloodstain, from the right shoulder, was pulled directly and deeply into the clothes, which looked particularly oozing,

White powder was poured on the fair skin. A female medical officer was carefully cleaning up the blood stains on both sides of the mountain pass. Liang Fuling groaned in pain from time to time.

Seeing this scene, Li Xuan's expression was already extremely ugly.

This assassination was a real assassination, someone wanted to take Liang Fuling's life.

No, someone wanted to use this to plot against Li Xuan's life.
