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

Chapter 910 Doulu has a long history and Li Dan is a person

On the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, the weather was bright.

Li Xuan put on a purple wavy round-neck robe, put on a black hat, rode a tall black horse, and brought Di Renjie, who had deliberately asked for leave, to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is located in Guangzhaifang, with the Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace to the north and the east palace wall to the west.

There are only two walls and one wall between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the East Palace, which is only ten feet away.

Turning over and dismounting, Li Xuan handed the horse rope to Li Zhu.

Li Zhu followed the servants of Prince Xiang's Mansion to place the horses.

Standing in front of the gate, looking at the vermillion-lacquered gate hung with red silk on both sides, Li Xuan nodded slightly.

Li Dan is a prince, the emperor's son.

In his wedding, not only the internal ministers, the Shaofu eunuch, Taichang Temple, Zongzheng Temple, Guanglu Temple, and even Li Xuan's Honglu Temple were also involved.

As soon as Li Xuan appeared at the door, the chamberlain Zhou Fu had already greeted him: "Your Majesty, please come inside."

"Zhou Fu, why are you still here? Every time I come here, you are the one guarding the door?" Li Xuan was a little funny, and then she took Di Renjie into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Almost all the furniture and furnishings in the mansion have been changed. They are completely different from when Li Xuan came a few months ago.

"I have a good memory. I remember all the nobles who came to the palace and paid attention to the nobles in the palace." Zhou Fu introduced Li Xuan into the second hall, and the manager of the prime minister's palace was talking to Ming Chongyan. They were discussing something.

Seeing Li Xuan, the two of them immediately stepped forward, cupped their hands and said, "Your Majesty, Yushi Di."

"Mr. Xu, you are the real person." Li Xuan returned the salute, and then asked: "Where is Your Highness?"

"Your Highness has just risen. Prince Di Yushi, please come this way." Ming Chongyan nodded to the butler Xu Qian, and then personally led Li Xuan towards the backyard.

As they walked, Ming Chongyan said: "Prince Xiang just rushed back to Chang'an yesterday, and he got up a little later today."

Li Xuan nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, it's good to be a little lazy before the wedding."

After a slight pause, Li Xuan said: "In a few days, I will go to the Dou family to apply for a job. Is there any problem there?"

"No, Doulu Changshi went to Dou's house yesterday. All matters are in order." Ming Chongyan breathed a long sigh of relief.

He had attended Li Xuan's wedding, which was already quite complicated, but Li Dan's wedding was several times more complicated than Li Xuan's.

Fortunately, although Ming Chongyan was responsible for some things, he was just Li Dan's master after all. The real steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion was Shi Doulu Qinwang, the Prime Minister's chief.

Doulu Qinwang is a member of Doulu's family in Jingzhao.

Doulu Qinwang's great-grandfather Doulutong, the Duke of Nanchen County, served as the governor of Xiangzhou in the Sui Dynasty; his grandfather Doulukuan was the nephew of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. He later served as the Minister of Rites of the Tang Dynasty, General Zuowei, and was granted the title of Duke of Rui; his father Doulu Renye, Yonghui During his reign, he served as General Zuowei.

There is a long history of the emperor's arrangements for several princes, and almost everyone has the status of a prime minister.

Li Hong's long history is the current General Zuo Qianniuwei Wang Jishan, who was Li Zhi's former minister in the East Palace.

In the long history of Li Xian, the first one was the former prime minister Liu Xiangdao, and now the prince Zhan Shi Huangfu Gongyi.

Li Xian's eldest son, Yao Lingzhang, was Yao Chong's clan uncle.

Li Dan's chief minister, Doulu Qinwang, will surely be appointed prime minister in the future.

Li Xuan turned back to look at Di Renjie and said, "I must know Di Huaiying, the imperial censor. I and Brother Huaiying have some things to deal with in a while, so we will come to the palace together first."

"Di Huaiying, during the reign of Wei Zheng, Pindao had long known that Di Yushi was extraordinary, but he had never imagined that he was so extraordinary." Ming Chongyan nodded calmly, and then said: "His Royal Highness had already heard about Di Yushi when he was in Dunhuang. In the name of Shi, I originally planned to make friends, but now is a good time."

"Excuse me." Di Renjie returned the favor calmly, and the calmness in his eyes made Ming Chongyan feel solemn.

Standing in front of the inner hall door, Ming Chongyan stood still, raised his hands to Li Xuan and said: "Your Highness, please go in by yourself, Shi Yin still has some things to deal with."

"Please, please!" Li Xuan and Di Renjie handed over their hands at the same time, then watched Ming Chongyan turn and leave.

The two looked at each other, and Li Xuan shook his head slightly, dispelling all of Di Renjie's inappropriate thoughts.

Then turn around and enter the door.

Li Dan was sitting in the hall eating at this time. Ming Chongyan's voice sounded. He quickly put down his chopsticks, took the silk silk from the maid behind him, wiped his mouth, and then stood up.

At this time, Li Xuan took Di Renjie into the inner hall, and faced Li Dan, who was wearing a yellow robe, with a bright expression and a tall posture, and said, "I have met His Highness."

"Uncle Wang, Censor Di." Li Dan bowed his hands in return.

Li Dan has met Di Renjie, but is not familiar with him.

Di Renjie had appeared before when Li Xuan got married.

But at that time, Di Renjie was just the Prime Minister of Dali Temple. Now, although his rank has only taken one step forward, he can already participate in court meetings and impeach officials. The difference is completely different from before.

And even if Li Dan did something wrong, Di Renjie could impeach him without mercy.

Not to mention, the emperor himself said, "I am Wei Zheng." Everyone understands the weight of these four words.

If nothing else happens, Di Renjie will definitely be the prime minister in the future.I dare not say what the future holds, but he must have the talent of a prime minister.

"Your Highness, please continue." Li Xuan glanced at the table, and then said: "I came here today just to see how the palace is preparing. The wedding will be held in four days, and the rest is nothing more than your Highness's. how do you feel?"

Li Dan breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Li Xuan, and said with a hint of gratitude: "Uncle Wang is the first to ask Shiro this question. To be honest, for some reason, as soon as he returned to Beijing yesterday, Shiro immediately felt that Uneasy.

Especially last night, Shiro went to bed very early, but woke up in the middle of the night, and never fell back to sleep well after that, feeling anxious all night long. "

Li Xuan smiled and said consolingly: "This is common, everyone is like this before the wedding. After all, a strange woman will come into the house and occupy half of your bed. Being the owner of half of your house means that she will be the owner of half of your house." It is difficult to accept that the deepest secret is completely revealed to a complete stranger."

"What Uncle Wang said is absolutely true." Li Dan had a wry smile on his face.

"Your Highness may wish to think about it." Li Xuan paused for a moment, and then said: "Although there will be one more person in the family in the future, there will also be one more person in the future, who will join His Highness in honoring His Majesty and the Queen, and respecting the Prince and the King of England. Take care of Her Highness the Princess, and when Her Highness goes out, there will be someone to take charge of everything in the house, someone who can make you feel at ease. This is definitely not a bad thing."

Li Dan completely relaxed after listening to what Li Xuan said. Then he looked up at Li Xuan and said, "So this is how Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang get along at home."

"Yes!" A smile appeared on Li Xuan's face, and then she said: "With Sanniang in the house, taking care of my mother and concubine, I feel very relieved. Even though I am fighting abroad, although I have worries in my heart, I am much calmer."

Most of Li Xuan's secrets have been handed over to Liu Jinyu. As for the rest, it is not suitable for anyone to know except Li Xuan herself.

In this way, even if something happens to Li Xuan, her family will be safe and sound.

Only when you have confidence in your heart can you be more bold when fighting on the front line.

Of course, Li Xuan never puts herself in real danger.

As soon as he started, he was always quite sure.

"That's it." Li Dan nodded somewhat suddenly and said, "Uncle Wang's achievements in Qingnan and Qingxi have been heard by Shiro. It is really admirable."

"This matter is not difficult." Seeing Li Dan's intention to ask for advice, Li Xuan glanced at Di Renjie again, and then said seriously: "The Tubo people are not all united. On the battlefield, facing the sword, some people are determined. , someone who hesitates... A person who hesitates is a weakness that you can seize, and then use the sharpest spear to pierce it directly, and you will be able to pierce all the enemies in front of you."

Li Dan and Di Renjie nodded at the same time.

They could all hear what Li Xuan said. They were not just perfunctory words, but real battlefield experience.

These principles are applicable on the battlefield and are equally applicable in other places.

Li Xuan talked about many things on the battlefield. When he heard the noise outside became louder, Li Xuan suddenly realized it. He quickly stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness has many things to do today, so I will take my leave first. Later, I will take my leave." On the day when I receive the betrothal gift, I will come again."

"Thank you Uncle Wang for your teaching. Shiro has learned a lot." Li Dan saluted Li Xuan seriously.

Li Xuan returned the gift, then looked at Di Renjie and said, "As a censor, Di Huaiying is outspoken, but has a sincere personality. If you have any suggestions, I hope your highness will think about it seriously."

Li Dan earnestly bowed his hands to Di Renjie and bowed: "In the future, if Censor Di has something to say, you can say it directly, and Silang will do his best to obey it."

"Don't dare!" Di Renjie didn't expect Li Dan to be so sincere, so he quickly returned the courtesy: "I hope His Highness will forgive you for any offence."

"In that case, I'll take my leave first." Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and then left with Di Renjie.

Li Dan stood at the door and watched Li Xuan and Di Renjie heading to the front yard together. He couldn't help clenching his fists and looking excited.

Di Renjie was the "Wei Zheng" of the dynasty as the emperor himself said, and there was no lie in it.

Li Dan could tell this.

It is inevitable that people will make mistakes, but it is very rare to have someone who you are willing to listen to and who makes you willing to change your mistakes to point out your mistakes.

Li Dan felt that Di Renjie was such a person, and the emperor had already set an example for him.

And Li Xuan, Li Dan naturally knows what Li Xuan is capable of.

Even if he couldn't see clearly, Ming Chongyan and those people mentioned it repeatedly, which was enough for him to understand.

However, Li Xuan has always been close to Li Xian, and Li Dan knows this.

Because when they were young, Li Xuan and Li Xian were similar in age and they often played together, so naturally their relationship was closer than that of Li Dan.

Li Xuan is now willing to get close to Li Dan. Although he didn't say anything explicitly, Li Dan can feel that he and Li Xuan are much closer than Li Xuan and the prince.

This can be seen from some details of Li Hong's funeral.

Especially some of the experiences and details on the battlefield that Li Xuan talked about today were things that Li Dan had never heard of before, but once he heard them, he knew they were very useful things.

Li Dan doesn't want Li Xuan to do whatever he wants now, but many things start from getting closer step by step.

What Li Dan has to do now is to digest what Li Xuan said.

Experiences that he found truly useful.

When it comes to these things, Li Dan will never be obedient.

He is different from Li Xian.
