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

Chapter 867: Fortune and prosperity, both blessing and prosperity

"Fu Chang Fu Chang, both blessed and prosperous." Li Zhi lowered his head and recited softly.

Li Zhi raised his head and looked at Li Xuan's back leaving the Zichen Palace, and asked softly: "How is it?"

Empress Wu sat aside, nodded slightly, and sighed: "It can be seen that he really knows nothing about this, and even now he doesn't know what he did wrong."

"He doesn't know what he did wrong, that's right. He was loyal to me, loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and he made no mistakes. There are some people who are wrong!" Li Zhi couldn't help but sneered, gritted his teeth and said, "You know. I am not an emperor who has no tolerance for others."

As a general, the clan has always been criticized.

Even in the Taizong Dynasty, Li Shentong, the king of Huainan, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, and Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, all lived in trepidation. But in the Li Zhizhi Dynasty, Li Xiaoyi, the prince of Liang, Li Jingjia, the prince of Peiping, Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, Li Yuangui, the king of Huo, and even Li Xuan's father, Prince Peng Li Yuanze, was a famous member of the clan known to both the government and the public.

As long as it is used properly, any clan can get its own position in the court.

In this regard, Li Zhi indeed surpassed the late emperor.

But now someone happened to use the emperor's little suspicion to frame and criticize an important member of the clan, and Li Zhi's annoyance immediately rose.

Especially Li Xuan, almost every move he made was under the emperor's gaze.

Not only were many things reported in detail, but they were even written down in the memorial, including their own thoughts and various calculations.

With such frankness, Li Xuan was the only one in the entire dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Lun Qinling will still be plotting after this. Aren't we also using this to make Lun Qinling relax?" Empress Wu comforted her in a low voice. Both she and Li Zhi knew the truth, so neither would How to blame Li Xuan.

Li Zhi shook his head slightly and said with a faint look: "It's not that simple. How could a censor in the imperial court be influenced and manipulated by Lun Qinling, who is thousands of miles away? It's not that simple behind this."

Li Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly. As an emperor, he was very sensitive to such things.

……

"Of course it's not that simple." Li Xuan sat casually in the back garden with a fishing rod placed sideways.

Liu Jinyu hugged the pink girl Xiaoxia and pushed her little arm back towards Li Xuan's back. Then she rolled her eyes at Li Xuan angrily and said, "I know it's not that simple. You will also have all the All the visitors were turned away."

Li Xuan turned sideways and reached out to grab her daughter's little hand. Xia Niang immediately responded excitedly.

While playing around with her daughter, Li Xuan said: "The imperial censor sued me out of nowhere, but in fact, he didn't really intend to use this to sue me, but he hoped to use this matter to disrupt Chang'an. ...You also know that in Chang'an, there are always a few people who can't get along with me."

"Zhou Guogong and the man from Yongqing County." Liu Jinyu named the two people in the court who had the deepest entanglement with Li Xuan in one sentence.

Li Xuan did have many enemies in the court, but he was not completely defeated in the fight with him. Only two people are still alive now.

"Wu Chengsi and Pei Yan." Li Xuan sighed softly, turned his head, looked at the quiet lake in front of him, and said softly: "In the final analysis, talking about Qinling is just handing over a dagger that is not sharp. Those who want to The person who wants to kill me has already seen the opportunity, and now outside the gate, I don’t know how many people are watching my every move.”

"It is true that there will be no flaws in not moving, but in ten days it will be August, and we can't just watch and do nothing." Liu Jinyu understood that Li Xuan didn't want others to catch his flaws now. Opportunity, but what if you really don’t do anything and don’t know anything about the court meeting in ten days?

This time Zhang Enzheng, the imperial censor, impeached Li Xuan. After the memorial was sent to the palace, his whole person and all his utensils were also sent to the palace.

It is difficult for outsiders to see him again.

Everyone knew that Zhang Enzheng had evil intentions and treacherous intentions in impeaching Li Xuan, but no one knew why he did it or what evidence he had in his hand.

Li Xuan didn't know that the emperor asked him to shut up at home and think about his mistakes, so he naturally had to shut up and think about his mistakes.

All visitors, even Qin Ming, were turned away.

He now needs to prepare for the North Korea confrontation ten days later, but if he wants to be prepared, he must know something, but Li Xuan blocked all visitors.

Even the servants at home and the secret spies were all suppressed and did nothing.

"It's not really doing nothing, it's just doing nothing on the surface." Li Xuan turned around and picked up her daughter Xianniang.

The little girl was babbling and couldn't speak yet. She could only wave her arms and speak softly, which almost made Li Xuan's heart melt.

After a long time, he turned to look at Liu Jinyu and said: "Before returning to Chang'an, my husband had sent a letter to Pengzhou to ask the people in Pengzhou to stay safe and do nothing to avoid being caught. But secretly, Li Yan has already gone to Tongzhou to inspect Tongchuan County, and the official defense he used was that of the British government."

"Li Jingye." Liu Jinyu was slightly startled and said: "The King of England is in Shu now, but this official defense will be known to be fake as long as you check it."

"Yes, it's fake, but are we the only ones using fake officials to defend themselves?" Li Xuan sneered slightly and said in a low voice: "Wu Chengsi and Pei Yan, I don't believe they didn't send people to Tongzhou to investigate. I don’t believe they dare to use their true identities.”

"So, everyone will use the British name as a cover-up." Liu Jinyu immediately understood what was fishy.Li Xuan nodded, hugged her daughter and said: "In the end, no matter whether it is true or false, the British Crown Prince will deny it; and in the local area, no matter whether it is true or false, the British Crown Prince's people, the local states and counties do not dare to investigate. The water is too deep for them to mix with."

"Then what?" Liu Jinyu asked again.

"Zhang Enzheng suddenly impeached his husband. He must have gained something. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have mobilized so many troops, even if it was just for perfunctory..." Li Xuan's voice suddenly dropped, and then continued: "Zhang Enzheng will stay in Chang'an normally. , How can we be connected with Tubo? How can we be connected with Tubo?"

"Someone is operating secretly, or he has some leverage and was caught somewhere else?" Liu Jinyu understood immediately.

"It is inevitable that people who have connections with Tubo are making moves." Li Xuan sneered softly and said: "Today, there are still Tubo secretly making moves. In terms of Qin Ling's methods, they are really impressive."

"It must be Death Room." Liu Jinyu said one sentence, and Li Xuan nodded in agreement. Only Death Room could survive the previous strangulation of Tibetan spies by the Qianniu Guards.

"Tongzhou is just a corner, the real core is in Chang'an. It depends on how Wu Chengsi and Pei Yan will act on this matter." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "So the two of them will not move unless the flaws are exposed. The only opponent we have is Zhang Yushi, and if a flaw is exposed, the two of them will attack immediately, and it will be a deadly attack."

"But we don't know anything, how can we deal with it?" Liu Jinyu's eyes were filled with worry.

Li Xuan smiled softly, and then said: "Your Majesty ordered my husband to shut up at home and reflect on himself, saying that as long as he can sort out all the previous things, he can explain it clearly... Besides, my husband is to your Majesty and to the Tang Dynasty. , has always been loyal, and if it is a misunderstanding, it will naturally be clarified. If it is a frame-up, it cannot be found out by just investigating, and we need to respond at any time."

"So, Lang Jun will be waiting at home these days?" A trace of worry flashed in Liu Jinyu's eyes. Although she had absolute confidence in Li Xuan, if she really didn't do anything, she would be in trouble if something unexpected happened. .

"How is it possible to do nothing? Niang Xia still has to celebrate the full moon." Li Xuan smiled easily, and then her expression turned solemn and said: "In addition, His Majesty also said, let the husband reflect on himself, so naturally there must be an apology. , reflect carefully, this is what you should do as a husband."

"So, no matter what is right or wrong in the end, everything is decided by His Majesty in a flash." Liu Jinyu suddenly understood completely.

Although she has done very well in many places, her grasp of human nature is still far behind.

Li Xuan nodded slowly and solemnly. This kind of thing happened in the emperor's mind.

That's why Li Xuan had to be so calm.

but……

……

"Ding Ding Ding"

Li Xuan stood in the backyard, and a swing had been set up.

Under the swing, a thick rope dragged a huge bamboo basket. The bamboo basket was covered with thick mattresses and fur, and it looked very warm.

Liu Jinyu stood aside with Xia Niang in her arms. Liu Jinyu had seen many swings, but this was the first time she had seen this kind of cradle style.

"When the weather gets colder, get a cradle that sits on the floor in the house. The principle is similar to that of a tumbler." Li Xuan's eyes fell on Xianniang. The little girl opened her eyes wide and stretched out her hand to go inside.

"Sanniang, please go in together. This is prepared for you two." Li Xuan stepped aside slightly and looked at Liu Jinyu with a smile as he sat in with the child in his arms. His face was full of a pure and happy smile. , and then reached out to push the swing gently.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded at the courtyard gate.

Li Xuan was slightly surprised. The next moment, Li Zhu was already standing at the door holding an official document.

Li Xuan waved, and Li Zhu quickly came over, then raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Qian Niuwei sent an official document, news from Tongzhou, the housekeeper of Zhou Guogong's family died in Tongzhou, and when the body was found, it was in his arms , found the sign in the British Duke's Mansion, just now, Duke Zhou was called into the palace."

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment and said softly: "Is it someone from Pei Shangshu who did it?"

"It's not our people, nor can it be done by Zhou Guogong's people. Then only Pei Shangshu is left. The Ministry of Punishment is not short of manpower." Li Zhu said in a low voice.

"Didn't one of our people do it?" Liu Jinyu sat in the cradle, looked at Li Xuan and said, "This matter is most beneficial to Lang Jun. Everyone will suspect that Lang Jun did it."

"Your Majesty will not." Li Xuan shook his head and said: "Because Your Majesty knows the root cause of this matter, he will not doubt my husband. In this matter, it is more likely that it is either someone from the Ministry of Punishment or someone fishing in troubled waters. The people from Qianniu Guards sent a letter, which means that the people from Qianniu Guards are going to investigate."

Qian Niuwei sent a letter, which was just to say hello.

"Let them investigate. I also want to see who is doing it?" Li Xuan's expression became serious.

Muddy waters, fishing in troubled waters, who is muddying the waters?

Li Xuan doesn't know how it will end, but now the first unlucky one is Wu Chengsi.

Li Xuan looked at her daughter. She was blessed and prosperous. She was indeed blessed and prosperous!
