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

Chapter 994 The princess gives birth to a child, Jinchang County Duke

The new moon is like a hook, and Kaihuafang is deserted.

Under the shadow of the moon, Liu Rengui sat in the carriage, closing his eyes and concentrating.

Qin Ming, dressed in red and gold armor, stood outside the door of Prince Peng's Mansion, watching Liu Rengui enter Prince Peng's Mansion in a car.

He couldn't help but sigh, and waved his hand to indicate to his men to continue patrolling.

After walking to the gate of the square, Qin Ming couldn't help but look back at each other, sighed softly, and said worriedly: "Fire is cooking oil!"

……

Liu Rengui got off the carriage, looked at Ouyang Tong who was waiting aside, and asked, "How is the situation?"

"I was in labor two quarters of an hour ago." Ouyang Tong reported in a low voice, and said at the same time: "Master Xuanzang said that there has been a birth, and this time the situation is much better. But to prevent accidents, he still waited behind. On."

"As long as nothing happens." Liu Rengui sighed softly and walked slowly towards the backyard. He glanced at the strict guards in the dark, nodded and said, "It would be great if I could have a son this time. I don't know how many people there are in the whole court." People can rest assured.”

Ouyang Tong paused slightly and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Ge, is it really impossible to change that matter?"

"Although His Majesty did not speak, the Queen is extremely satisfied." After a slight pause, Liu Rengui said: "After the army evacuates, only [-] left guards will be left in Tongtianhe, [-] right guards and [-] right guards will be left in Baihai, and Wuhai and In the midst of the sea of ​​suffering, there were four thousand right-handed soldiers left, and three thousand state soldiers were left to govern the place.

After the establishment of the Dudu Mansion, the imperial court was only responsible for the [-] left guards, weapons, food and wages, the right guards, the right tun guards, and the [-] right Xiao guards. Changzhou was responsible for the food and wages.

Moreover, the weapons, food and wages for the five thousand left guards must also be transported from Changzhou. As a result, Changzhou will be under even greater pressure.

Among the ministers in the government and the public, only Da Lang is the only one who can truly reassure His Majesty. "

"But Mr. Ge, if Da Lang has 1 soldiers and horses and provides his own food and salary, won't the court be afraid?" Ouyang Tong had some worry on his face.

In the past few days, the news that King Nanchang will be appointed governor of Changzhou has spread throughout Chang'an.

At the age of twenty, he was appointed as the third-rank governor of Xiazhou. This was rare in the entire Tang Dynasty, except for the princes and princes.

Moreover, even the princes and princes rarely have actual leadership, and they also inspect the left guard generals and command [-] troops. This is really amazing.

This news spread like wildfire, surprisingly quickly.

Ouyang Tong was so shocked that he was even a little frightened.

But as luck would have it, the emperor was noncommittal on this matter, but the queen of heaven already agreed with it.

Now that he heard about the food and salary matter, Ouyang Tong felt even more panicked.

This is no longer a prince, but a hegemon.

"There is nothing to be afraid of in the DPRK. The left-back and right-back rotate every six months. Either the left-back is in front and the right-back is in the back, or the right-back is in front and the left-back is in the back. No matter what, there is a threat." Liu Rengui In one sentence, explain things clearly.

Either Wang Xiaojie leads five thousand soldiers in front, then even if Li Xuan has other thoughts, he can turn around and destroy them.

Either Li Xuan leads [-] soldiers in front, and Wang Xiaojie leads [-] soldiers in the rear. If they have any intention, they can also resist and control the grain road at the same time.

"What about Tubo?" Ouyang Tong looked solemn and directly pointed out the key point.

Tubo, the great enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

Although nearly 20 soldiers were lost in the battle of Qinghai, the country was still able to raise [-] soldiers. If it was squeezed, it would have [-] soldiers.

Ouyang Tong was not worried that Li Xuan would be no match for the 20. He was worried that Li Xuan would be linked to the Tubo people.

Some people in the DPRK may even deliberately spread rumors that Li Xuan colluded with Tubo and conspired to rebel.

With so much publicity, even if the emperor trusts him again, at that time, if he is not careful, he will be in danger of overthrowing.

……

"If you don't die in Qinling, you will never have worries." Liu Rengui said in a low voice.

Ouyang Tong suddenly realized that as long as Qin Ling was there, Tubo would definitely not associate with Li Xuan. As long as Li Xuan was there, Tubo would not be able to take advantage of anything.

Both of them worry about each other the most, they are on opposite sides of each other, and they are both intrigued by each other.

Even if they can force themselves to stand together, how can they rest assured?

The two people were restraining each other in the northwest, and there was a large army behind them to restrict them. Even if Li Xuan had any intention, it would be difficult for him to succeed.

"Then next year, we will focus on defense?" Ouyang Tong asked again in a low voice.

"After years of fighting, the soldiers are exhausted and the people are exhausted. This is why the Queen of Heaven strongly agrees." Liu Rengui sighed lightly, then shook his head and said: "There is no way around this matter. The only thing I can do is to kill Zuo Qianniu Weilang." I will transfer Qiu Zhenmu to the position of General of the Right Guards, Zhonglang, from a famous Qiu family, I think I can feel more at ease when I come to the court."

"With Qiu Zhenmu as the right guard, Zhonglang will lead the front line, and Dalang will sit in the rear to take care of the people's livelihood. The elder is really in charge." Ouyang Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking happy.

"It's not enough." Liu Rengui shook his head slightly and said: "Although we will recuperate for a year next year, the war will inevitably resume the year after that. Dalang must not only continue to move forward, but also capture Subi and occupy Qamdo. Based on Qamdo, he will spy on Tubo, the further you go, the safer you will be."

After a slight pause, Liu Rengui said: "It will take ten years to completely win over Luocheng. Even if the court is a little wary, it will be completely eliminated."

"That's what Mr. Ge said." Ouyang Tong nodded in agreement and said, "At that time, it will be time to transfer to another place to serve. Release the military power, become the head of a stable county, and the world will feel at ease."

"I'm just afraid that by then, he will have to come back and serve in the Central Government." Liu Rengui sighed softly, looking disappointed.

Ouyang Tong's face became heavy and he also stopped talking.

In fact, with the emperor's trust and the power of the Tang Dynasty, it would not matter if Li Xuan commanded [-] troops and was supported by one state.

Not to mention the palace, but also the prime ministers, ministers, and temple ministers, none of them can deal with it without many means.

What they were really worried about was the emperor.

Although the emperor's health has improved in recent years, in fact, they all know that it is only getting better and has not changed at all, and the chronic disease is still there.

Maybe one day...

Nowadays, the struggle for power between the Queen and the Prince has not abated because of the birth of the Emperor's eldest grandson, but has become more and more intense.

Things in the East Palace had never been hidden from the eyes of these prime ministers.At that time, if something happens, the world will be overturned.

If Li Xuan was involved at that time, none of them would be able to escape.

What's more, people like them would have been involved before Li Xuan.

Ouyang Tong raised his head, looked at Ouyang, Princess Peng in the courtyard, and whispered, "I hope I can have a son."

Liu Rengui nodded silently.

……

"Wow!" A clear and loud sound suddenly sounded over the entire Prince Peng's Mansion.

A maid immediately walked out quickly, looked at everyone in the courtyard, and said with joy, "Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to all of you, you are a little prince."

Ouyang immediately slumped down on the chair, her face full of comforting joy.

"Okay, hurry in and take care of yourself. After cleaning up, let's go in and take a look at the child." Ouyang Tong patted his sister.

"Yes!" Ouyang immediately walked into the inner room quickly as if he was reborn.

Ouyang Tong turned to look at Liu Rengui, and Liu Rengui looked at Ouyang Tong. They both cupped their hands at the same time: "Congratulations."

"Ah ah ah ah..."

The laughter of joy echoed in the mansion and even reached the streets outside.

When Qin Ming heard the laughter, he felt relieved, but his expression remained solemn. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, please."

Li Xian smiled slightly, and then stepped into Prince Peng's Mansion.

Thousands of cattle guards were standing around in awe, and a yellow-covered carriage was parked outside the door. Qin Ming bowed his hands, not daring to raise his head.

There was a sigh in his heart. The arrival of the prince was not a good thing!

At this moment, a clear voice sounded in Prince Peng's Mansion: "His Royal Highness is here!"

"There is an imperial edict!" Li Xian's voice sounded calmly.

Immediately, countless people in the room knelt down, and Li Xian's voice was calm and cold: "In the second year of Wei Yifeng, I was Ding Chou, on the ninth day of the ninth month and the nineteenth day of the second day, the emperor Ruo said:

Yu play!

The son of a brother is particularly deep among those who are close to him; the feeling of kindness and courtesy is even deeper among those who are isolated.

Xuan, the governor of Changzhou, the king of Nanchang, established the clan alliance of the country, and established a vassal screen to control all nations.

I respectfully meditate on the Tao and work diligently in common people's administration. I will try to overcome the ancient teachings and follow the example. Today, on the birthday of my son, I am very happy. I specially confer on my son the title of Duke of Jinchang County and a fiefdom of [-] households.

I hope you will love each other, be gracious and courteous, and inherit the past, and there will be no order to hear about it.

It is advisable to bring down special marshes to promote the way of harmony and harmony; to be able to win the title of Qufu and not to be dissatisfied with the clan of Gaoyang.

Appreciate this! "

"Thank you, my Majesty. Long live your Majesty."

……

"Take it back." Li Xian glanced at the newly born Duke Jinchang, stuffed a piece of jade into it, nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Liu Rengui, Ouyang Tong and Ouyang Shi, and said, "I will go back first. "

"Your Highness." Liu Rengui, Ouyang Tong and Ouyang Shi handed over their hands at the same time.

When Li Xian walked out of Prince Peng's mansion, Liu Rengui sighed softly: "Prince!"

Ouyang Tong glanced at the girl and whispered, "You should go back and see the child first."

"Okay!" Mrs. Ouyang nodded and was about to leave, then stopped for a moment and said, "Don't worry about the prince's affairs. The news of the birth of the grandson has been sent to the kings of the clan. At the beginning of next year, the half-year-old birthday will be held in advance. The king will come."

Liu Rengui and Ouyang Tong raised their eyebrows at the same time and said softly: "Good!"

Although Li Xuan now stands out among the royal clan, she is only one of the royal clan.

Others include King Han, King Huo, King Jiang and other older princes still alive.

The struggle for power in the royal family would naturally be a huge trouble if it were only focused on Li Xuan, but if it was focused on the entire clan kings, it would not be a big deal.

Over the years, from the time when Emperor Taizong deprived Li Chengqian of the crown prince position and established Li Zhi as the crown prince, and then later when Li Zhi ascended the throne, deposed the king and established Wu, deposed Prince Zhong, etc., most of the clan stayed out of it and rarely interfered. , and ended up safe and sound.

As long as there are no too big ambitions, the clan can survive the disaster safely.

Even Li Xuan once worked hard on Li Xian, but unfortunately, it didn't work.

Soon, Li Xuan stopped thinking about Li Xian and turned around to fight in the northwest.

The manifestations of this are clearly visible.

Now the prince clearly felt the strange atmosphere in the palace, and then he began to seek support from the clan.

But will the clan really support it? Liu Rengui couldn't help but shake his head.

The children of the clan always obeyed one person the most, and that person was the emperor.

Prince, it's too late to take action now.

……

"So, the further away from the court, the better." Ouyang Tong said with emotion in his heart as he sent Liu Rengui away.

Turning around, Ouyang Tong walked towards his sister. He still needed to write a letter to Changzhou about these matters.
