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

Chapter 1288 Luck flows, ups and downs

On the second day of the first lunar month, Lecheng County Government.

Wu Liu Jinyu hugged Xia'er and stood in the center of the back hall with Li Xuan. They raised their hands to Liu Rengui and said, "I wish Aweng good health and longevity in the new year."

"Okay, get up." Liu Rengui raised his head slightly, then took out a red envelope and handed it to Xia'er's hand. Xia'er immediately grabbed the red envelope, bent her eyes and clasped her fists and said, "Thank you, ancestor."

Liu Rengui smiled, then looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Did you drink too much on purpose yesterday?"

Liu Jinyu immediately turned sideways and looked at Li Xuan, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

After the dynasty yesterday, Li Xuan was sent home by Li Jing and other clan members. He was very drunk, but the strange thing was that when he was drunk, he remained silent.

No fighting, no fuss, and fell asleep peacefully.

Liu Jinyu rarely saw Li Xuan drunk. Even if he drank too much occasionally, he would be very excited and write poems one after another, but there were very few who were as quiet as yesterday.

Li Xuan glanced at Liu Jinyu with relief, then looked at Liu Rengui and said, "I'm just happy about what happened yesterday."

"It must have something to do with Prince Zheng." Liu Rengui glanced at Li Xuan angrily and said, "When you left Liangyi Palace yesterday, Prince Zheng kept holding your hand and saying I'm sorry, tell me what happened. what's going on?"

Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan in surprise. She didn't know that there was such a thing.

Li Xuan sighed softly and said: "Actually, it's nothing. Yesterday, Brother Wang asked Sun Xun if he could be transferred to Tubo and find a place to be the governor. Sun Xun refused."

Liu Rengui frowned immediately, and then asked: "What's more, if you just refused him to be transferred to Tubo, you should be the one saying that he is sorry for him, not him saying that he is sorry for you?"

"Yue Weng knows that although my son-in-law is in charge of Tubo, if he is from a peripheral clan, there is no problem in being a county magistrate or something. Your Majesty may even be happy to see it happen. But I am afraid that your Majesty will be sensitive if King Zheng transfers him. , so when Sun Xun pointed this out, King Zheng immediately realized that something was wrong."

"Isn't that the only way?" Liu Rengui squinted at Li Xuan and said, "Tubo is so far away, so how can Prince Zheng's body adapt to Tubo? And now the distance between Tubo and Tubo has not yet been decided, he didn't mention it at all... No, he didn't mention it at all. You shouldn’t think about Tubo, so did you remind him...that someone is plotting against you?"

Li Xuan nodded with a wry smile and said: "Brother Wang and his grandson-in-law have always had a friendly relationship. When he asked for something, the grandson-in-law always tried his best to help, so he was targeted."

"That's why he said he was sorry for you, and that's why you drank too much... No, you drank too much on purpose, what a trick." Liu Rengui looked at Li Xuan deeply, with an expression of amazement.

Li Xuan lowered her head in embarrassment and said: "Because of Xia'er's incident, my son-in-law attracted quite a lot of attention yesterday. After that, he got drunk and Wang Xiong's incident, which will inevitably attract people's attention."

Li Xuan raised his head and looked at Liu Rengui: "Yue Weng couldn't help but ask, so other people who want to explore the root cause are naturally indispensable, so I'm afraid there will be many people asking about Brother Wang's situation. It is naturally easy to find out what it is.”

"Someone instigated King Zheng to ask you for an official position. If you agree, I'm afraid your Majesty's reputation will drop. If you don't agree, King Zheng will be unhappy. But they didn't expect that you could see through this layer. Liu Rengui squinted his eyes and said, "Who did this stupid thing?"

The emperor, Empress Wu, and the prime ministers all knew what kind of person Li Xuan was.

There was no way this matter would go through with him.

The calculation couldn't be done on him, so it would be in vain, but someone did it anyway.

Li Xuan shook his head and said: "This matter is not easy to investigate. Brother Wang was also on his way back to Beijing when he met a few scholars rushing to take the exam and heard a few words. As for the rest, he doesn't know."

After a slight pause, Li Xuan smiled and said: "My father-in-law Yue has paid attention to this matter. Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven, and all the prime ministers will probably pay attention to it as well. If we check it when the time comes, we will definitely get results, and there is no need for the grandson-in-law to do anything and plot behind his back." People will be punished.”

Liu Rengui nodded calmly, then as if he had figured everything out, he shook his head and said, "Your methods are becoming more and more sophisticated. You are just a drunk, and you have already sent others to the execution platform."

"Scheming against the kings, alienating the clan, destroying the overall situation, and having evil intentions." Li Xuan said softly: "Your Majesty will not agree to such a thing."

Liu Rengui paused for a moment, then shook his head and said helplessly: "If you do this, it will really kill people."

"Someone wants to kill my grandson-in-law." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, looked sideways at Liu Jinyu, and then his eyes fell on Xia'er, and whispered: "These recent things are just the beginning of the storm. If we don’t take heavy action, I’m afraid we’ll be in constant trouble.”

Liu Jinyu immediately calmed down, and then she came to Liu Rengui's side with Xia'er in her arms, and then asked softly: "Aweng, does your majesty really think that Xia'er can bring any good luck? Why do you have to grab it?" Do you want to keep it or not?"

Liu Jinyu also did not expect that the emperor would change his name to Yonglong.

Follow the prosperity and prosperity, and create peace and prosperity.

If we talk about New Year's Eve, people still visit Fuchang County, which may really bring good luck, but yesterday, the emperor directly changed his name to Yonglong, which made countless people feel confident.

Yesterday, even when Li Xuan was drunk, a large number of people came to inquire about Xia'er's marriage.

You know, Xia'er has just turned five this year, and a large number of people have already come to make arrangements for a five-year-old girl.

Liu Rengui turned sideways and hugged Xia'er into his arms, then raised his head to look at Li Xuan and asked: "Xian son-in-law, you are also from a Taoist sect. You know your luck best. I want to ask you, what does your majesty do to you?" Does Xia'er have any influence?"

Li Xuan raised her head slightly, pondered for a moment, shook her head and said: "It's not a bad thing right now. Even after yesterday's incident, Xia'er will be at least a princess in the future and will be stable. However, the Taoist sect pays attention to the flow of luck, and there are ups and downs..."

"It would be fine if it was just the princess, but if it goes further." Liu Jinyu looked at Liu Rengui with infinite worry in her eyes. "She's just the princess." Liu Rengui's somewhat funny words made Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu stunned.

Liu Rengui shook his head, looked at the two couples, and said: "The last time something like this happened was when His Majesty changed Yuan Linde after Princess Taiping was born. In just two years, he changed Yuan Qianfeng. His Majesty's temperament..."

Speaking of this, Liu Rengui couldn't help but shake his head.

"That's it." Liu Jinyu immediately understood. The emperor's temperament changed every year. Who knows what it will be like. Maybe he will forget Xia'er in two years.

"Two years." Li Xuan said softly, and Liu Jinyu's expression suddenly changed.

Two years, if the news in the palace is correct, then the emperor will also be in these two years. If he strikes at the last moment, the couple will be caught off guard.

"Two years is the end." Liu Rengui seemed to know something, shook his head and said, "You have to know that some things can be used, but they must not be too close to you."

Li Xuan's brows suddenly wrinkled. He seemed to understand something, and then he suddenly relaxed completely: "I see, that's fine, let's let Xia'er be a good little princess."

Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan in surprise and asked in a low voice, "Why?"

"Your Majesty will not let anyone surpass Princess Taiping." Li Xuan glanced at Liu Rengui, and when Liu Rengui nodded, he continued: "With your own daughter here, your Majesty does not need anyone else to share this blessing."

Liu Jinyu understood somewhat clearly, but Liu Rengui had already changed the topic at this time.

……

"Whether it's at home or in the court, everything depends on how you handle the affairs in Tubo?" Liu Rengui looked at Li Xuan seriously and said: "In battles, no one will win, and an arrogant soldier will lose. It is also an eternal truth. How confident are you that you can win this year's battle with Tubo?"

Liu Jinyu immediately forgot what happened just now and looked at Li Xuan with a slightly nervous expression.

In all matters, the military comes first.

Li Xuan raised his eyes and looked at Liu Rengui, and then said seriously and cautiously: "Luozhu City is four feet high. It is not advisable to attack blindly, so it must be supplemented by people's calculations. These have been mentioned to His Majesty, so we sealed Chidu Song yesterday." Praise for the King of Xihai County."

The Prince of Xihai is actually the title of Songtsen Gampo.

When Songtsen Gampo married Princess Wencheng, he was granted the title of Prince of Xihai by Emperor Taizong.

Chidu Songtsen just inherited the title of Songtsen Gampo. Of course, if he also inherited the position of Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang General, then he would have to bow down in front of Li Xuan.

It would be unfilial if he didn't inherit.

Of course, the Tubo people don't care about filial piety or not, and this imperial edict is just Li Xuan's first method.

After listening to what Li Xuan said, Liu Rengui couldn't help but shook his head and said, "But it's not enough either."

"That's why I need to ask Yue Weng for something." Li Xuan raised her head and looked at Liu Rengui seriously.

"Say." Liu Rengui suddenly became serious. He had a feeling that these things might have touched the key point of Li Xuan.

"In recent years, the Ministry of War's Staff Division has quite a few manpower lurking in Luoche City. Sun-sou thought, should we distribute their rewards in advance? Once Luoche is captured, they can be transferred back to Chang'an to take up their new posts. Now these people I will work harder.”

Seeing Li Xuan's serious look, Liu Rengui frowned for a moment. In an instant, his eyes jumped and he said directly: "You are not talking about the people from the Staff Division of the Ministry of War. If those people really get the reward, I'm afraid they won't. The ones who really do their best are the secret guards and your people."

"That's true, but these people are now under the Ministry of War's Staff Division. No matter they want to transfer to any position from the Ministry of War's Staff Division, their military merits must be obtained in the Ministry of War, so naturally they have to attack the city in Luoshou If you try your best at all times, even if you have to die for your country, you will still have a stable future."

Li Xuan revealed his plan in words.

Liu Rengui looked at Li Xuan, sighed softly, and said, "The mother and son from Tubo are unlucky to meet you."

Liu Rengui has read Li Xuan's memorial, and the previous things have included almost everything.

It's just that Luozicheng is high, and under the crisis of annihilation, people's hearts are facing unity, which brings some doubts to Liu Rengui.

But now Li Xuan added one final killing move, and suddenly another deep crack opened in Luoshu City.

Li Xuan looked at Liu Rengui cautiously and said: "In fact, I used to reinforce the walls of Luozhe City. Wei Shaofu has a keen eye and may be able to see some flaws, but now there is someone else in charge of the Shaofu Supervisor. On his side There needs to be some explanation.”

Liu Rengui glanced at Li Xuan, snorted coldly, and said: "It's all the trouble you caused. But then again, Wei Hongji may not have the chance to be re-employed as the Shaofu Supervisor... Since he is from the position of Governor of Youzhou, If he goes down, then let him serve as governor in Tubo or Changzhou."

"Changzhou?"
