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

Chapter 506 Guiding the future, supporting the hope of the country

Under the bright moon, the peak of Heilongling.

Dense tents have been erected on the top of the peak.

Sima Chengzhen and Li Xuan stood on a big rock on the top of the peak, overlooking the Immortal Valley in the distance.

Starting from their feet, the entire mountain began to gradually decline, and finally fell to the bottom in the Immortal Valley.

"Did the King of Nanchang see it?" Sima Chengzhen pointed to the surrounding terrain and looked towards the last valley.

Li Xuan nodded lightly, and then said: "All of this is like a fairy with arms open to embrace everything. Everything that enters it will inevitably enter the Immortal Valley in the end and be used by the empress."

"That's right!" Sima Chengzhen waved the whisk in his hand, and said calmly: "The way the king said just now to find the way out is indeed a way. The poor Taoist will inform Qiu Shenji to send someone to look for it; I also ask the king to make more plans, maybe there are other methods."

"Xiao Wang will definitely do his best!" Li Xuan cupped his hands.

He knew that the power of planning he had displayed during this period of time was indeed valued by many people.

Sima Chengzhen told him so much because he was worried that he would not try his best.

After all, Li Xuan also had a lot of worries. The estrangement between him and Qiu Shenji and Huai Jin, as well as the suspicion of the court, made him in a dilemma.

But Sima Chengzhen still hopes that Li Xuan can do his best to help the army enter the Immortal Valley at this time.

"It should be a few days before the final breakthrough." Sima Chengzhen looked at Li Xuan gently, and said with encouragement in his eyes: "The prince only needs to think of a solution within a few days."

Li Xuan smiled wryly, and he asked tentatively: "In order to avoid accidents, may I ask Zhong Lang to withdraw some of the soldiers inside?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the real Shiyin will do better than me in similar matters." Sima Chengzhen's face was relaxed.

Although he and Ming Chongyan competed to a certain extent, Sima Chengzhen still admired Ming Chongyan's ability.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, with Ming Chongyan at his side, it was not so easy for the empress to plot against Qiu Shenji.

At this moment, Sima Chengzhen's voice stopped for a while, and then he asked with a smile: "When everything is settled, it may be near the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the king may return to Chang'an to prepare for the marriage, right?"

Li Xuan was slightly taken aback, then looked at Sima Chengzhen, and said cautiously: "Yes, the timing just so happens."

"After the big wedding, the prince should have a nine-day holiday. After nine days, the king may have to return to Wuzhou immediately, and don't take on the burden." Sima Chengzhen simply said a few words, and Li Xuan's future was already a couple of days away. The events of the month are outlined.

"Actually, Tianyin has taught things, and this king's duties in Wuzhou have come to an end, and the rest is nothing more than a waste of time. Perhaps because of this, His Majesty may give this king some more time off." Li Xuan Smile lightly.

In fact, in this dynasty, official weddings are only a nine-day holiday, which already includes the time spent on the road.

But any smart official knows how to fake public affairs for personal gain.

At that time, it is only necessary to turn the private business into a tolerance, and count the time spent on the road into the tolerance, then the nine days after the marriage will be all wedding leave.

Of course, although most people would not hold on to this point, if you offend too many people, and there are people in the DPRK who want to deliberately target, then if you are not careful, you will plant hidden dangers for yourself.

For Li Xuan, with Yu Ze as an old official by his side, such a thing can be completely avoided.

He could even specifically ask the emperor to give him some more time off. Presumably, whether it is the emperor or the officials of the central government, they will readily agree.

"That's right!" Sima Chengzhen nodded slightly, and then said: "My lord will not stay in Wuzhou for too long, but have you ever thought about where you will work when you return to the center?"

"Everything is up to His Majesty's arrangement." Li Xuan raised her head and looked in the direction of Luoyang, slightly bowing her hands with a solemn expression.

Sima Chengzhen waved his whisk and said softly, "Perhaps His Majesty is already making arrangements."

Li Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and then she had already reacted.

Shaoqing of Honghe Temple.

Li Xuan is currently inspecting the young minister of Honghe Temple, as long as the word "inspection" is removed, then he is the real young minister of Honghe Temple.

The Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is an official position from the fourth rank.

Li Xuan is now the Wuzhou Biejia under the fifth rank, as long as she makes special achievements, she can be promoted to the fourth rank.

As for going up and down from the fourth rank, it depends on the needs of the official position.

Li Xuan wanted to be promoted from Wuzhou Biejia, who was lower than the fifth rank, to the minister of Honglu Temple, who was higher than the fourth rank, depending on how many times he could make meritorious service.

"Thank you sir for your guidance." Li Xuan saluted Sima Chengzhen respectfully.

"My lord is talented and intelligent, maybe he can help the country." Sima Chengzhen's words made Li Xuan's face change slightly.

Li Xuan's heart immediately calmed down, he raised his head, looked at Sima Chengzhen, and said solemnly: "Everything depends on His Majesty's arrangement."

Sima Chengzhen smiled, and said with deep meaning: "Everything depends on His Majesty's arrangement."

……

Opening the curtain, Li Xuan had just entered the tent, when there was a sound of "Peng", the flames lit up.

Duan Baoxuan sat in front of the low table, the oil lamp was lit, and under the flickering firelight, he looked more and more calm: "Have you finished talking with Daoyin Daoist?"

"Yes!" Li Xuan clasped her hands in salute, then walked across to Duan Baoxuan, and sat down.

Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan's steady movements, nodded in satisfaction, and asked, "What do you think?"

Li Xuan thought about it for a moment, and then said: "There must be something in Empress Dowager's body that is needed by everyone, and also needed by herself. Achieving Jindan."

What Sima Chengzhen said was not clear, but Li Xuan guessed that that thing was what everyone wanted.

"It should be like this." Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan, nodded in satisfaction, and then said seriously: "The governor was ordered to defeat the Tianyin rebels, and Sima Zhenren is responsible for all other matters. under the Governor."

"My nephew understands." Li Xuan nodded seriously, and said, "Thank you uncle for your guidance!"

After a short pause, Li Xuan said seriously: "Now, if you want to break through the Immortal Valley, break through the many secret passages under the Immortal Valley, and enter the underground palace, the best way is to find a secret passage that can lead directly from the outside to the inside. Enter later... This is the only convenient way, other than that, you can only do it step by step."

"Nephew, do you think Qiu Changshi can be found?" Duan Baoxuan immediately asked an urgent question.

Li Xuan hesitated for a while, but still nodded, and then added: "It's not difficult to find it, but it's not easy to break into it."

Tianyin Sect has used the back way so many times, as long as you look for it with your heart, you will definitely be able to gain something.

It's just that if you can find it, you can find it, but you may not be able to enter it.

Moreover, as far as Li Xuan knew, there was not only one secret channel of the Tianyin Sect to the outside world.

There are even some, only the core figures like Empress Dowager and Zhang Wanyu know about it.

Of course, the number of people who can pass through this secret passage is extremely small.

The queen has been in the main arena for more than 20 years, and how can she be so easily invaded by the army.

If there are fewer people entering, it will become another dish on the contrary.

"If my nephew is here to do it, what should I do?" Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan with a sense of testing.

Li Xuan's expression became serious, and she thought for a while.

He picked up the teapot on the side, poured a cup for Duan Baoxuan, and then continued: "Everything should be done step by step. For each checkpoint, break through or demolish it. In the case of the least casualties, destroy the mechanism to the greatest extent, and then attack step by step. Entering the deepest part of the tunnel... If you are not in a hurry, this is the best strategy."

"But what if it's urgent?" Duan Baoxuan asked again.

Li Xuan picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup, and then said softly: "My nephew has been watching the sky these days and nights. In the past half a month, the weather has been fine, and there has been no rain in the mountains. Occasionally, there will be fog, but it will disappear in a flash, so The best way to capture the underground palace is to use the poisonous smoke first, then roll the rocks down, and then transport the river water... In fact, it is all about careful operation, and it is still a step-by-step approach, but if you find the right way, the speed can be accelerated."

"If this is not the case, we will have to fill the hole with human life." Duan Baoxuan couldn't help but sigh softly.

Li Xuan smiled lightly and said: "Uncle only needs to control and restore the government soldiers of the Kuaiji Mansion and the soldiers of the six states, then the rest is the matter of General Qiu Zhonglang and the Huangshan Mansion. There are not many people, so naturally they will not Jumping in haste."

"That's right!" Duan Baoxuan nodded earnestly, his expression turning ruthless.

……

Standing at the door, watching Duan Baoxuan go away, Yu Ze and Qiu Zhenmu came out from behind Li Xuan.

Li Xuan glanced at the two of them, and said helplessly: "Now everyone regards this king as a wise boy."

"Who made the prince perform too well before?" Yu Ze smiled lightly, looked up at Li Xuan, and asked, "Is there really no other way for the prince?"

"No!" Li Xuan shook her head, turned around, opened the curtain and walked in, and said at the same time: "The Immortal Valley and its underground palace in the mountain have been run by the Tianyin Sect for decades. Countermeasures, it is very difficult to destroy."

Fire attack is difficult, there is no need to say this, the key depends on water attack.

On the top of the peak two thousand feet behind the Immortal Valley, there is a secret Tianchi that is not known to the world.

Once the Tianchi slopes down, it will have a devastating effect on the army below, and it will be a threat to the Tianyin Sect's own mountain hinterland.

Unless the empress wants to let her subordinates and officers and soldiers die together, she must have already thought of a countermeasure.

"Then, my lord, what should I do next?" Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan, they were already here.

"Wait, wait patiently." Li Xuan shook her head slightly, and said softly: "Now, with General Qiu Zhonglang and Daoist Shi Yin in front, it is not my turn to make irresponsible remarks, seniors, they are not simple character."

A faint sneer appeared on the corner of Li Xuan's mouth.

Whether it is Qiu Shenji, Ming Chongyan, Sima Chengzhen and Duan Baoxuan, they are all extraordinary people.

The Tianyin Sect's underground palace is indeed complicated, but it may not have all flaws. Qiu Shenji and the others each have their own methods.

The reason why they came to ask Li Xuan was just to see if Li Xuan had any better solutions, and then incorporated them into their own set.

Although Li Xuan spit out some methods, they are all common methods in the world, and there are not many amazing things.

It's not that he really has no idea, it's just that for the time being, he just wants to sit back and watch the tigers fight.
