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

Chapter 655 Emperor Gaozu Tablet
"His Royal Highness has also been here?" Li Xuan's words were very slow, and there was a murderous look in his eyes instantly, with one hand on the long sword at his waist, as if he would draw the sword to kill at any time.

Ming Chongyan on one side also had an ugly expression. If King Li Xian was involved in this matter, Empress Wu would not spare the two of them no matter what.

"No, my young master just often plays and frolicks with His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness has never come here. My lord, my lord, it's all right." The butler was so frightened that he almost cried.

He just added inadvertently that King Nanchang and Master Shiyin looked like they were going to kill someone.

Hearing the butler's explanation, Li Xuan's expression immediately relaxed, and he said coldly, "Show everything clearly in the future, don't say half and leave half."

"Just now you said, apart from His Royal Highness, who else is here and does not need to register?" Ming Chongyan glanced at the Dengbo in Li Xuan's hand, and the three sides were almost all high-ranking court officials above rank five, Almost all of them had fought with Li Ji on the battlefield.

Although it is unlikely that these people are connected with the King of the East China Sea, the internal guards will conduct a thorough investigation in the future, and it is unlikely that the King of the East China Sea will be among them.

If the King of the East China Sea really left such a flaw, Ming Chongyan would not mind accepting it at all.

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Some literary masters, such as Song Zhiwen, Luo Binwang, Yang Jiong, Du Shenyan and others, as well as Jingzhao Webster, Du, Hongnong Yang, Taiyuan Wang, Qinghe Cui, Fan Yanglu There are many descendants of the Zheng family in Xingyang."

"You just said, the Zheng family of Xingyang?" Ming Chongyan's eyes became completely fierce in an instant.

The concubine Zheng Guanyin is the Xingyang Zheng family, and a Xingyang Zheng family immediately aroused Ming Chongyan's sensitive nerves.

"It's Zheng Yi, the champion of the new division." The butler shrank his neck in fear.

Zheng Yi, the number one scholar in the second year of Shangyuan.

Song Zhiwen, Liu Xiyi, and Shen Quanqi were the most famous people in the Jinshi Division in the second year of Shangyuan, but the number one scholar was the little-known Zheng Yi. The reason for this was because Zheng Yi was a direct descendant of the Zheng family in Xingyang.

Song Zhiwen's father, Song Lingwen, was a general of Zuo Xiaowei, a scholar of Xiangzheng in Dongtai, and had a great reputation.

Zheng Yi, his father was Xiangyang Ling Zheng Jinsi, his ancestor was Fengzhou Sima Zheng Huaijie, and his great-grandfather was Sui Gaomi Ling Zheng Daoyuan.

Datang has a customary rule, whoever is the first name on the list of Jinshi in any scientific examination, that year will be on the list.

For example, in the second year of Shangyuan, Zheng Yi was the number one scholar, and in the second year of Shangyuan he was on the Zheng Yibang.

Song Zhiwen, Liu Xiyi, and Shen Quanqi were all Jinshi in Zheng Yibang in the second year of Shangyuan.

"Where did he live here?" Ming Chongyan grabbed the butler by the collar in an instant, and looked at her viciously.

Although Zheng Daoyuan was not well-known, because at that time, in the Zheng family in Xingyang, family resources were all pushed on Zheng Daoyuan's cousin, Zheng Jibo.

Duke of Wushan County, Kaifu Yitong Sansi of the Sui Dynasty, Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, and Governor of Kuozhou Zheng Jibo.

Zheng Jibo, the father of Zheng Guanyin, the concubine of the hidden crown prince, and the father-in-law of the hidden crown prince Li Jiancheng.

In the Zheng family, the marriage of the hidden prince during the Gaozu period failed, which made it difficult for the family to have a central figure for decades. There were occasionally outstanding people, but Xiazhou governors and others were quite common.

Among the five surnames and seven families, the Zheng family is the lowest.

"In the backyard." As soon as the butler finished speaking tremblingly, Ming Chongyan grabbed him by the collar and took him directly to the backyard.

A group of people brought by Ming Chongyan immediately went to the backyard to search, while Zhou Gan and the others took a step back and looked at Li Xuan respectfully, not in a hurry.

Li Xuan stood in the middle hall, but did not follow immediately. At this moment, his heart gradually became clear.

This time when he found out here, he was undoubtedly also in the calculations of the King of the East China Sea.

He just sacrificed himself a little, and put the Zheng family of Xingyang and Li Jingye in the urn.

Now Li Xuan finally understands that from Hangzhou, to Yangzhou, and then to Chang'an, the person who is plotted by the king of the East China Sea has always been Li Jingye.

Li Jingye's character is not good, but his position is crucial. How many armies in the world will be under the command of the British Duke. If the emperor disposes of Li Jingye at this time, the army will be shaken. If the Tang Dynasty and Tubo go to war at this time...

The emperor, Li Xuan thought of the emperor's attitude during the quarrel at the court meeting, and immediately understood that the emperor had already set his sights on Li Jingye.

Li Xuan, Pei Yan, and Wu Chengsi are all just pawns used by the emperor to cover up. The person the emperor really targets has always been Li Jingye.

Raising her head and looking in the direction of the backyard gate, Li Xuan was almost sure that this time, in Zheng Yi's former residence, she would be able to find something related to the King of the East China Sea.

In this way, Zheng Yi is finished, the Zheng family of Xingyang is finished, and Li Jingye is probably going to be finished too.

Li Xuan turned sideways, looked at Zhou Qian, and said in a deep voice: "In the backyard, Song Zhiwen, King Luo Bin, Yang Jiong, Du Shenyan, and the places where the soldiers and disciples of the other families once lived, all have been checked."

"My subordinate obeys the order." Although Zhou Gan didn't know why Li Xuan didn't argue with Ming Chongyan to investigate Zheng Yi's matter, he still obeyed the order.

"Remember to check carefully, and don't miss anything." Li Xuan repeatedly urged, although he didn't believe that the King of the East China Sea would leave too many things to catch, but he still cautiously hoped to gain something.

"Here!"

……

Li Xuanmai walked in the corridor of the backyard, Cui Ding stood behind him at any time.

Seeing Zheng Yi's house being thoroughly searched in the distance, Li Xuan couldn't help shaking her head.

Zheng Yi obviously wanted to be framed by others, and he was not willing to go forward with such a thing.

Although the official career of the Zheng family in Xingyang has been bleak in the past few years, there are many governors. Moreover, the Zheng family is married to the rest of the Zheng family. Hongnong Yang family, Taiyuan Wang family, Qinghe Cui family, Fanyang Lu family, which one is easy to provoke? .

Ming Chongyan died in the future, and there was no place to bury him.

Sima Chengzhen clearly judged Chongyan's order, and there was no difference at all.

At this moment, there was a booming sound in front of him, Li Xuan was slightly taken aback, and immediately understood that some kind of secret room had been discovered.

Before Li Xuan could appreciate the tight arrangement of the King of the East China Sea, at this moment, Ming Chongyan's voice suddenly sounded: "Everyone, quit immediately, and quickly call Nanchang King."

In an instant, more than a dozen Thousand Bull Guards quickly withdrew from the house at the same time, and then looked at Li Xuan who was standing in the courtyard corridor.

Li Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly, and walked towards the house.

The bed, gauze curtain, table case, and even the stool in the inner room were thoroughly searched, but nothing was found, only a square hole was exposed under the altar in the middle hall.

Li Xuan went down the steps, and the light inside immediately revealed.

Li Xuan waved her hand slightly, the air here is a bit turbid, but fortunately, it is non-toxic.

Ming Chongyan stood solemnly on one side, Li Xuan just glanced at him, and was immediately attracted by the things in front of Ming Chongyan.

Under the two tall candles with dragon patterns that were about to burn out, there were four simple tributes. After the tributes, there was a tablet written with gold lacquer on a black background.

The ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, the god of the great ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor of Taiwu, Li Yuan.

In the cauldron furnace in front, the high incense has been burned out, leaving only a furnace of ashes.

Li Xuan was stunned, how could there be a tablet of Gaozu here?

The tablet of Gaozu is here, no wonder Ming Chongyan is so nervous.

In a blink of an eye, Li Xuan's expression had calmed down. He stepped forward respectfully, bowed deeply to Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan's tablet, and then directly knelt down on the ground.

After three kneelings and nine knocks, Li Xuan got up slowly, looked sideways at the entrance of the cave, and said with a cold expression: "He deserves to die."

Ming Chongyan stood on one side, cupped his hands to Li Xuan, and said, "My lord please give an order to arrest Zheng Yi and all related people immediately."

Li Xuan looked at Ming Chongyan with an indifferent and solemn expression, his eyes were frighteningly cold at this moment.

The corner of Ming Chongyan's mouth twitched slightly. He knew that Li Xuan had already seen through his plan, but he was not so stupid as to offend the famous Zheng family of Xingyang.

Li Xuan's face was extremely cold, and then he said: "If that's the case, then please ask the real person to come here and bring Zheng Yi here. This king wants to confront him face to face. By the way, there is also the British Duke."

"My lord, British Duke has returned to Meizhou the day before yesterday." Although Ming Chongyan's face was ugly, he still replied honestly.

Li Xuan's expression suddenly eased, and then he said: "Then bring Zheng Yi here first, only him alone, and in addition, order Qianniuwei, Dali Temple, to immediately send Zheng Yi's house, residence, all places, all All the texts were sorted out and prepared, and then checked carefully... Zhenren, just here, it is not enough to convict, arresting Zheng Yi alone is enough, as for the rest of the family, they are temporarily placed under residential surveillance, and they are not allowed to leave the capital until they receive an imperial order. "

Hearing what Li Xuan said, Ming Chongyan's expression lifted immediately, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, be careful."

Li Xuan shook her head, then turned her head to look at the tablet of Gaozu, and said at the same time: "It's a pity that I can't enter the palace yet, otherwise..."

"My lord's previous fears may be true. The Duke of England must have been taken advantage of by others." Ming Chongyan finally regained his sanity.

Since everything is locked on Zheng Yi, it has nothing to do with Li Jingye, he is just unlucky.

But this bad luck is really big enough, in the secret room of his house, there is actually a tablet of Emperor Gaozu hidden.

Li Jingye, I'm afraid you're going to vomit blood this time.

Regarding Ming Chongyan's judgment, Li Xuan was noncommittal, he just shook his head slightly, and said softly: "Please pass on this Wang Ling, real person. From now on, the entire Taipingfang will be completely sealed off, and all people are not allowed to enter or leave at will. What happened here tonight , if there is no imperial decree, no news will be released."

"My lord!" Ming Chongyan looked at Li Xuan with a horrified expression.

In this way, it is obvious that they are still fishing.

Who to arrest, Li Jingye?

……

Li Xuan stood alone in the secret room, surrounded by candlelight, her figure was like a mountain.

Looking at the tablet of Emperor Gaozu in front of him, the anger in Li Xuan's heart couldn't help rising.

Originally, he just wanted to use the king of the East China Sea to attract Empress Wu's attention, so that she should not treat the Great Tang clan too much, otherwise, as soon as the prince Yin is completed, the world will be in danger of changing the world immediately.

But now, Donghai King is doing too much.

Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan, grandfather of Li Xuan.

It is too much for his tablet to be used as a tool by the king of the East China Sea.

Li Yuan is the grandfather of Li Xuan, and also the grandfather of the descendants of Prince Yin Jiancheng.

So disrespecting the ancestors, what on earth is he thinking? Does it have to make the clans all over the world hate him?

Li Xuan slowly pulled out the long sword at his waist, and the bright light of the sword flickered in front of his eyes.

Endless bloodthirsty light suddenly flashed in the depths of his eyes.

King of the East China Sea, this time, you must die.
