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

Chapter 486 Purple python robe, deter everyone

In the early morning, the backyard of the Muzhou government office.

There are few flowers and plants in the courtyard, there are three or two rockery, the small lake is quiet, and vines surround the wall.

Two Qianniu guards were standing in front of the backyard door, and anyone who wanted to enter would be stopped.

The door of the study in the backyard was closed, and Li Xuan was wearing a white underwear, standing behind the desk inside.

A rough map of Muzhou was placed in front of him.

Li Xuan frowned slightly, and pressed the position of the vast mountains on the map with one hand, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

The map in front of me is really too rough.

The surroundings of the state capital and counties are acceptable, but in the mountains in the west, there is only a simple outline and a name.

If there is no local guide, then a trance, you will not know how far you have deviated.

As for Local Guides...

Li Xuan shook his head, he could only wish Huaijin good luck, and don't accidentally run into a diehard Tianyin Sect follower.

That would be fun.

Smiling, Li Xuan rolled up the map in front of him.

On the table under the map, an imperial decree and a secret book were immediately revealed.

The imperial decree was to confer him as the comfort envoy of Muzhou. He wanted him to contribute, but he didn't want to give him much merit.

The faint smile on Li Xuan's face faded away, and her gaze fell on Mi Zhe.

This is a reply letter from the East Palace that Li Xuan rarely received, but although this letter is from the East Palace, it is full of the emperor's own words.

After arresting Tian Yinyi, anyone who dares to stop him can kill him first and play later.

Li Xuan took a deep breath, her expression solemn.

After the emperor asked him to arrest Tian Yinyi, should he be captured alive, or could he live or die?
Having said that, Li Xuan was not sure about capturing the empress alive.

The Empress Dowager's strength is probably well known even to the Emperor himself, so...

"It should be life or death, as long as the corpse is needed, but what does the emperor want with the corpse of Empress Tianyin? Is he wanting to confirm her life or death, or is he simply wanting her corpse?" Li Xuan's mind instantly jumped out of Tianyin Kingdom Four words come.

His intuition told him that Li Zhi's purpose must be this.

Either for his own hundred years later, or for his own illness.

Can Tianyin Divine Kingdom cure the emperor's illness?
Li Xuan couldn't help shaking her head. In this world, even the resident immortal like Sun Simiao, the medicine king, would not dare to do anything in the emperor's mind, let alone this absurd and weird kingdom of God...

In other words, is there anything else that can be born in this so-called Kingdom of God?

Li Xuan's face suddenly darkened.

He once asked Zhang Wanyu and Wen Fuzhi why the Tianyin Sect was so impatient.

Whether it was Meiling Pass or the Wujiang River, they all seemed in a hurry to break through the pass immediately, and they didn't even want to slow down half a step.

The only reason for this, there is only one reason, and that is that the time limit for the Empress is approaching.

The sooner Wuzhou is taken down, and the Wuyue states are taken down sooner, the life of the empress can be extended to the greatest extent.

This is the answer he got.

But why is this so, even Zhang Wanyu herself doesn't know the answer.

If you link the two together, something seems to be coming out.

But the most critical thing is missing, which makes it impossible for people to penetrate it.

Shaking his head, Li Xuan put the imperial decree in his sleeve, then stood up and walked to the hanger.

Li Xuan took off the purple round-neck gown with five pythons and five chapters on it, and wore a black three-color and seven-beam crown, black leather boots with jade patterns, a red jade belt with gold and gold, fish charms, etc., all tied around her waist.

Opening the door, the sun immediately shone on Li Xuan, solemn and precious.

Turning over his left sleeve, he immediately stepped out in big strides.

……

Walking out of the backyard, Yu Ze, Wang Bo, Qiu Zhenmu, Du Bixing, Xu Jian, Qi Guang and others immediately stood up with bowed hands, and said, "I've seen the prince!"

"Everyone!" Li Xuan bowed his hands in return, and then strode towards the lobby of the prefectural office, and the others quickly followed.

While walking, Li Xuan looked sideways at Yu Ze, Li Xuan asked directly: "How is the situation in Weiping, Xishan?"

Xishan Weiping is the exit of Huizhou Mountain Road, Muzhou this time.

The entire mountain range is high in the west and low in the east, and the exit is a gentle hilly area.

"Duan Duan has personally supervised the formation in Xishan, and the entire Kuaiji Mansion's soldiers have been fully deployed. The military vehicles, crossbows, and even catapults are all ready. As long as the enemy shows up, he will immediately face a fatal blow."

Although Yu Ze's voice remained calm, he still asked in a puzzled way: "Your Majesty, it seems that both your Majesty and the governor think this is a tough battle, why is it so? The Tianyin Sect has clearly retreated from Shezhou. "

"If it's really a defeated army, naturally there's no need to be so cautious, but what if the situation here is different?" Li Xuan's expression immediately sank.

Duan Baoxuan tried his best to read the cipher text sent by Baiqisi, Tianyin Sect has already captured Beiye, and is about to approach the city of She County.

Once She County is captured, the city of Shezhou will be next. Once the city is broken, the entire southeast will shake.

At that time, as long as a general is sent to guard Beiye and block the mouth of the Beiye Mountain Road, then the soldiers of the General Ji Mansion will be firmly blocked within the mountains.

Just like what Li Xuan did at Meiling Pass before.

Shezhou had resisted the Tianyin Sect for so long before, relying on this geographical advantage.

Under such circumstances, how could the Tianyin Sect withdraw eastward suddenly?
That's why Li Xuan suggested going straight to the Tianyin sect's lair, because the Tianyin sect would definitely send troops to try to recapture Muzhou after they knew that Muzhou had been recaptured by the officers and soldiers.

However, it never occurred to him that the Tianyin Sect didn't just send troops to retake Muzhou, but all members returned east.

You know, they were about to win Shezhou, but at this time, the Tianyin Sect was defeated in Shezhou, and the official document of fleeing in a hurry was sent to their case.

If it weren't for several verifications, they would even suspect that the official document was forged by the Tianyin Sect.

"The official document did not detail the details of the battle between Shezhou and Tianyin Sect, the damage of Huangshan Mansion itself, the damage of Tianyin Sect, how many people of Tianyin Sect retreated eastward, and even how many soldiers Qiu Zhonglang led to chase and kill. I didn’t mention it, it’s too inconsistent with the character of our General Qiu Zhong.”

Li Xuan suddenly remembered something, looked sideways at Qiu Zhenmu, and said, "Brother Qiu, I don't mean anything else."

Qiu Zhenmu was slightly taken aback, and quickly waved his hands and said: "The prince was too worried, and the subordinates didn't think much about it, but the prince's concerns were indeed very reasonable, and the subordinates also felt that there was something wrong at first. Although my uncle is unassuming, he behaves like a man. Ling Li, if he really had a chance of winning, he would have sternly asked the Kuaiji government soldiers to cooperate in various ways in his official documents, instead of his gentle tone like now."

Acting aggressively is already quite a euphemism.

Qiu Zhenmu didn't say the word "overbearing" directly, which was already a great way to save face for Qiu Shen.

When Qiu Zhenmu said this, everyone present could hear the strangeness in the official document.

Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "We have no way of knowing what the specific situation will be. We can only prepare for the worst."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan raised his head to look towards the western mountains, and said with solemn eyes: "Although the Weiping area of ​​the Western Mountain is not a suitable place to set up an ambush, it can allow the Kuaiji government soldiers to spread out as much as possible. Even if they are not victorious, they will be able to block the Tianyin disciples in the mountains."

Everyone's expressions suddenly became serious. They thought that they would be able to easily break through the Tianyin General Altar on this trip to Muzhou, but they didn't expect the situation to be so difficult.

"One more thing!" Yu Ze suddenly remembered something, and whispered to Li Xuan: "Now in the city, there are rumors that the prince slaughtered tens of thousands of Muzhou teachers in Wuzhou. Known as a butcher."

"There are people!" Li Xuan couldn't help shaking her head.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

The feats he has made in Muzhou this time are really not small. In comparison, both Kuaiji Mansion and Shezhou are not as good.

Especially in Shezhou, Baiqisi's news is that Beiye has fallen, but nothing is mentioned in Shezhou's official documents.

Concealed, and even a hint of calculation.

Poor Huaijin didn't even notice it, and always thought that Qiu Shenji was doing it for his own good.

Withdrawing her thoughts, Li Xuan looked at Yu Ze and said, "Send an order, let your subordinates also spread the word, today it is said that the king killed [-] people in Wuzhou, tomorrow it will be [-], the day after tomorrow it will be [-], and the day after tomorrow it will be [-]." It's millions."

"This subordinate knows what to do." Yu Ze immediately handed over his hands, using rumors to break the rumors, the simplest way to deal with it.

"Also, let people send all the statistics of food, grass and military equipment sent to Xishan every hour to this king." Li Xuan's faint words made everyone present look terrified.

It's not Li Xuan's style to just be beaten and not fight back. Even if he fights back, it will make others feel extremely painful.

While speaking, the front has reached the main hall of the state government office, and everyone immediately became solemn.

……

A low noise came from the front hall, Li Xuan walked in from the back with a solemn expression, and walked straight to the position of governor under the plaque.

Yu Ze, Wang Bo, Qiu Zhenmu, Du Bixing, Qi Guang and others immediately walked to both sides of the hall.

The noise in the hall suddenly disappeared without a trace.

A group of country gentry and elders standing at the door, and the old officials of the Lifang immediately fell silent. When they saw Li Xuan walking behind the desk in the middle hall, they immediately cupped their hands: "I have seen the Nanchang County King, the County King Qianqiu!"

A loud voice sounded in the lobby, but Li Xuan ignored them.

He took out the imperial decree from his sleeve and placed it on the black printed box on one side.

What should have been placed in the seal box was the seal of the governor of Muzhou, but the seal of the governor inside had been thrown away for a long time.

After putting away the imperial decree, Li Xuan looked up at the crowd and said solemnly, "Everyone, please stand up."

Everyone present immediately stood up straight, and at first glance, they saw the first-grade purple county king's python robe Li Xuan was wearing, and the imperial decree placed on one side.

Seeing this scene, everyone present even breathed a lot lighter.

The majesty of the imperial court was clearly imprinted in the hearts of these people at this moment.
