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

Chapter 966 Entering the house for training, three chapters of agreement

In the inner room of Tuyuhun Palace, Li Xuan and Qu Chongyu sat across from each other.

Two long swords were placed on their left hands.

The table in front of them was filled with food and wine, but no one moved a chopstick.

"Is the prince really going to leave soon?" Qu Chongyu's face looked a little ugly.

Li Xuan nodded calmly and said: "This was originally planned, and the war should have started on the Maji Mountain Road at this moment.

According to the military order of Pengcheng County, once the army captures Kuhai, all subsequent food transportation matters will be my responsibility.

So it was originally decided that after the incident in Fuqi City, I would rush to the Sea of ​​​​Bitterness. "

"The conquest of the army is a business matter. Qu should not stop the prince, but there must be an explanation for the marriage between the prince and his daughter. After all, the queen personally issued the decree." Qu Chongyu stared at Li Xuan, what happened today , Li Xuan must give a result.

His daughter's engagement had just been annulled by the Quan family. Now if the Queen decrees that the King of Nanchang will not allow his daughter to enter the palace, then his daughter's life will be over.

Li Xuan took a breath, knocked on the table, pondered for a moment, and said: "Tianshan Gong, I know that not long ago, your daughter and the Quan family canceled their engagement. I want to know, what is the attitude of the Qu family about this matter? "

Qu Chongyu's brows jumped, so it turned out to be this.

Qu Chongyu said directly: "Your Majesty may know that my Qu family was originally from the royal family of Gaochang. After the fall of Gaochang, it was included in the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty made him the Duke of Tianshan. Later, he married the Murong family and the Quan family."

Li Xuan nodded slightly. Needless to say, the Murong family was also a wealthy family.

"The marriage between the two families was actually decided very early, but later, the Quan family married Princess Yiyang. On the surface, the Qu family seemed to have no influence, but Qu has not made progress in officialdom for more than ten years." Qu Chong Yuyong During the Hui period, he was the Zhonglang General of Youwuwei, and later became the General of Youwuwei with military merit.

Going a step further, naturally it is not that he wants to be appointed as the general of Youwuwei. Qu Chongyu does not have this qualification yet.

However, he had enough confidence to spy on the governor of Yizhou, but he got stuck every time he had the opportunity.

Qu Chongyu smiled bitterly and said: "Although Qu has some resentment in his heart, the truth is still there, so he never thought of breaking off the engagement with Quan. However, just half a month ago, Quan's son was exiled to Zhenzhou, and Never come back, then Quan took the initiative and broke the engagement."

"So that day, in the Zichen Palace..."

Qu Chongyu nodded and said: "The Queen did say this, but she asked not to tell the prince."

Li Xuan immediately took a deep breath. He knew in his heart that if he had told Li Xuan about this at that time, it would not have been Li Xuan who could pass the first hurdle, but Liu Rengui.

Although Liu Rengui did not have the power of Changsun Wuji, as the Left Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty and the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall, he was not so easy to mess with.

That's why this incident only happened after Li Xuan left Beijing.

Looking at Li Xuan, Qu Chongyu said seriously: "The Qu family is happy that our daughter can marry the prince, because at least it is much better than marrying into the Quan family."

Quan has offended Empress Wu. If no one comes to help in the future, I am afraid that Quan will definitely not end well.

Li Xuan raised his head, looked at Qu Chongyu, and said: "Tianshan Gong is so frank, so I won't hide it. Regarding this matter, the Queen of Heaven has already issued an order, and I will definitely not refuse it. But there is one thing. Tianshan Gong You should also know that my princess is just two months pregnant..."

Li Xuan's problem is also here.

He is not a hypocrite. Someone gives him a young, beautiful, clean and innocent lady with a good background. He would be damned if he really doesn't like it.

But it doesn’t make sense that my wife is pregnant.

……

"The Queen of Heaven has ordered us to get married at a chosen date. We don't say when the marriage will take place, but it definitely can't be now." Li Xuan gave the answer decisively.

Qu Chongyu nodded in understanding and said: "The war is about to begin, so it is normal to be cautious."

"That's right." Li Xuan smiled slightly and said: "It is inevitable that there will be a fierce battle in Qingnan this time. I can't take it easy here, so there is an unavoidable possibility. We should wait until the fierce battle is over to discuss this matter.

But before that..."

Li Xuan looked at Qu Chongyu with a solemn expression, and Qu Chongyu nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, please tell me if you have anything to say."

"Although the marriage contract has the imperial edict of the Queen of Heaven, it still has to be ordered by the parents." Li Xuan looked at Qu Chongyu and said: "I also ask Mr. Tianshan or his wife to go to Prince Peng's Mansion to meet his mother and concubine, and the two sides can come to an agreement. Whatever the matter is, the wedding date will be whatever it is set for."

"Okay!" Qu Chongyu nodded. Although this matter is a little embarrassing, it is something that must be done after all.

With Princess Peng's permission, Dou'er's entry into the business was much smoother.

"For this matter, my concubine also needs to go with you, but not to see my mother-in-law, but to see my princess." Li Xuan raised her hand to signal the ugly-looking Qu Chongyu to calm down, and then continued: "I will wait for this matter today." I know, but I think Chang'an won't be much slower, and even Sanniang knows, I'm afraid it will be much earlier."

Li Xuan frowned and said: "But the king is like this and has not received a letter from his family mentioning this matter, so Sanniang must be dissatisfied, but it is only dissatisfaction and will not object to your concubine's entry. .

So for future plans, I also asked your concubine to stay with Sanniang for a while in Chang'an to get to know each other...but she is the only one. "

Qu Chongyu's initially embarrassed expression instantly relaxed, and then he asked curiously: "Your Majesty, aren't you worried..."

Li Xuan shook her head slightly and said calmly: "Sanniang is not an ordinary person, even if someone wants to harm her, it will not be that easy.

If your concubine can stay in Chang'an until the third wife gives birth to her son, then your concubine will definitely be part of my Li family. "

Qu Chongyu raised his eyebrows, then nodded and said, "Your Majesty is indeed extraordinary."

Li Xuan shook her head and said, "My concubine is young and simple. If it were someone else, I might not really dare to do it."

Qu Chongyu nodded. He understood that Li Xuan wanted to see Qu Dou'er's character. If Qu Dou'er could really serve Princess Nanchang until she gave birth, then she and the King of Nanchang would be a real family member in the future. Integrate into the Nanchang Palace.

There was a lot of talk and things here, but Li Xuan told Qu Chongyu one thing one after another.

The Princess of Nanchang is the only mistress of the palace.

Thinking about Left Prime Minister Liu Rengui, whom he had met before, Qu Chongyu finally nodded heavily: "Okay!"

"Thank you Mr. Tianshan for your understanding." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

This matter was the intention of the emperor and the queen, and he had no chance to resist.

And there is no great need for him to completely fall out with the emperor and the queen. In this era, it is not surprising to have three wives and four concubines.Even Li Xuan, in name, can marry ten concubines.

Previously, Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu were newly married, coupled with the war, so no one thought about it so much. But now, Empress Wu is paying attention, and these things may become inevitable in the future.

Li Xuan had a feeling that in the future, Empress Wu might be hiding behind Murong's back, constantly causing trouble for him, trying to completely restrain him in the northwest.

Qu Chongyu looked up at Li Xuan and nodded calmly: "The King of Nanchang and his wife are deeply in love, and Qu admires them very much."

There is still a knot in my heart.

Li Xuan smiled and said: "Now that the matter has been decided, then..."

Li Xuan stood up, cupped his hands to Qu Chongyu and said: "At this time, it is inappropriate to call him Tianshan Gong, but it is too early to call him father-in-law. Xuan took the liberty and called him uncle.

There are various things wrong with this, and they are all Xuan's fault. Please forgive me.

When the war is over in the future, Xuan will definitely apologize with great courtesy. When the time comes, he will be beaten or punished, as he pleases. "

Qu Chongyu was slightly startled and raised his hand slightly.

Seeing Li Xuan stand up, he sighed and said, "Don't mention anything else. I just hope that my nephew can treat my daughter well in the future, and Qu will feel at ease."

"Uncle, don't worry, as long as everything goes well, your niece will be a member of my nephew's family, and I'm afraid I won't be able to be loved by you." Li Xuan slightly handed over her hands, then sat down again, and said with a wry smile: "I just hope that this kind of thing, It can be less in the future.”

This time, such a move suddenly came, and Li Xuan was really caught off guard.

The most important thing is that Liu Jinyu is pregnant again. She should know about it, but she didn't mention it to Li Xuan in the letter.

There is some dissatisfaction here, but most of it is helplessness.

Li Xuan sent Qu Dou'er to Liu Jinyu for training, somewhat to let her vent her anger.

But Liu Jinyu was more familiar with her habits than Qu Dou'er, and as for more, she didn't.

As for Qu Dou'er endangering the fetus in Liu Jinyu's belly, Li Xuan was not worried.

Because if something happened to Liu Jinyu, she would be the first to be suspicious.

Besides, it's not like Li Xuan has never been in contact with Qu Dou'er, so Li Xuan still has some understanding of her character.

Not to mention, how is it possible that she wants to interfere in the palace?

Liu Jinyu and Li Bi are not the only powerful figures in Li Xuan's house.

……

Seeing the relieved look on Li Xuan's face, Qu Chongyu smiled bitterly.

The suddenness of this incident, not to mention Li Xuan, even him, did not adapt to it at the beginning.

The originally planned son-in-law is gone, and the daughter has changed from someone else's main wife to someone else's concubine.

Although it is not uncommon to have three wives and four concubines, it is indeed unacceptable to ordinary people.

Even at the very beginning, they even had some doubts about whether Li Xuan had done something secretly about the Quan family.

After several trials, Li Xuan really knew nothing about everything.

It's the same even today.

Li Xuan raised her head, looked at Qu Chongyu, and said in a deep voice: "Since uncle agrees today, then Xuan will speak out and ask uncle to leave Fuqi City with Xuan in the afternoon."

"Why?" Qu Chongyu was a little confused. Li Xuan had to leave Fuqi City from the beginning, and it is the same now.

"Uncle must know that tonight, the curfew will be lifted in the Tuyuhun Royal City and there will be a three-day celebration."

Qu Chongyu nodded slightly. This was not a sudden thing. Tuyuhun re-established the country and celebrations were inevitable.

Li Xuan took a breath, shook her head slightly and said: "There is news that the Tibetans plan to attack Fuqi City tonight. At the same time, Qingxi and West Tuyuhun will also launch an attack on Golmud tomorrow morning. The war will begin tomorrow morning."

Qu Chongyu was stunned for a moment, his face immediately became very embarrassed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The Crown Prince once said that the royal city has been cleaned several times, so it must be clean."

Looking at Qu Chongyu's appearance, one can tell that between Murong Zhong and Li Xuan, he chose to trust Li Xuan.

After all, Li Xuan is now his future son-in-law, and he trusts her more than his wife.

"I'm afraid the prince's methods won't be able to deal with the Tubo people." Li Xuan looked at Qu Chongyu and asked, "Uncle, how are you doing?"

"Okay!" Qu Chongyu nodded immediately and agreed without any hesitation.

"In this case, Xuan will go back to clean up first, and also say goodbye to the king." Li Xuan stood up, deeply cupped her hands, then turned and left.

……

Two figures emerged from the secret door, Ming Chongyan and Murong Zhong.

Ming Chongyan looked at Murong Zhong, chuckled, and said, "The King of Nanchang must have a lot of spies in Fuqi City."

Murong Zhong said expressionlessly: "The King of Nanchang once occupied Fuqi City for several days. Some arrangements are inevitable."

Qu Chongyu was not interested in hearing what the two said. He turned to look at Murong Zhong and said, "Your Majesty, you should make more preparations tonight."

"Yes, the King of Nanchang will trouble my brother-in-law to keep an eye on him." Murong Zhong looked at Qu Chongyu solemnly.

Qu Chongyu nodded slightly, and then held his hands towards Ming Chongyan: "Master, please!"

"Mr. Tianshang, please!"
