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

Chapter 533 Jianchang county lord, waiting for your majesty to see

The lantern was hung high on the official ship, Li Xuan just stood firm on the deck, and immediately told Zhou Gan: "Tell brothers, be more vigilant, we have returned to Chang'an, don't tremble and make trouble at the last moment."

"Follow the order!" Zhou Gan immediately turned around and went to make arrangements.

Li Xuan turned around subconsciously, and once again looked behind a certain wooden door in the station in the distance.

A pair of dark eyes seemed to be staring at Li Xuan, observing his every move.

Even when Li Xuan looked back, she didn't move at all, her gaze was bold.

[Ashi Nayun, the lord of Jianchang County, the only daughter of Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang general Ashina, so Youwei Zhonglang general Ashina He Luohu granddaughter, so Youwei General, Beiping County King, Great-granddaughter of Tuli Khan]

Great-granddaughter of Tuli Khan.

Li Xuan couldn't help raising her eyebrows, why did she suddenly meet such a person.

Could it be that they just returned from Luoyang, and like Li Xuan, they didn't have time to lock the city gate before it closed.

Is it a coincidence, or something else.

Li Xuan raised her head and looked at Chang'an City in the distance.

The new moon is like a hook.

The majestic Chang'an City is deep and mysterious, as if there are countless conspiracies and tricks.

Li Xuan suddenly laughed at himself, Chang'an was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, where countless meritorious figures lived, there were conflicts of interests every day, and there were countless peace talks in the official circles, it was normal for Turkic people to calculate something here.

Li Xuan shook her head, keeping the matter of Ashinayun at the bottom of her heart, turned around and walked quickly to the back cabin.

……

In the empty cabin of the back cabin, the black coffin is placed in the center, and three light incense sticks rise in the dark smoke.

Ming Chongyan and Qiu Zhenmu sat on the soft couch on one side, with a chessboard in front of them.

Qiu Zhenmu was sweating profusely, holding a chess piece in his hand, which could not be dropped, while Ming Chongyan looked at him with great interest.

In terms of chess strength, Qiu Zhenmu is not Ming Chongyan's opponent at all, far inferior to Sima Chengzhen.

Unfortunately, although Sima Chengzhen left Wuzhou with Li Xuan, he disembarked and returned to Maoshan when he arrived in Runzhou.

Li Xuan didn't disturb Ming Chongyan's interest, put the vegetarian meal in his hand on the table, bowed slightly, and prepared to leave.

At this time, Ming Chongyan suddenly raised his head to look at Li Xuan, and asked, "Did your Majesty find anything when he landed this time?"

Li Xuan stopped, straightened up, cupped his hands towards Ming Chongyan, and said, "Everything in Chang'an is as usual, it's still the same Chang'an."

"All nations come to court, stretching for eight miles, billions of creatures, the central imperial court." Ming Chongyan sighed softly, turned and looked out the window.

The city of Chang'an in the distance was clearly visible, and Ming Chongyan's expression gradually became serious.

Li Xuan stood aside with a calm expression, his eyes followed Ming Chongyan to the distant city of Chang'an.

The importance of Chang'an, even Ming Chongyan, a close confidant of Empress Wu, felt extremely afraid.

When we were in Luoyang, everyone felt relaxed, but when we returned to Chang'an, no matter who it was, it was as if a boulder had weighed on our hearts.

No wonder that after Empress Wu ascended the throne, she stayed in Luoyang and refused to return to Chang'an.

In addition to countless meritorious nobles in Chang'an who still have Tang Dynasty in their hearts, there are also countless barbarian and di bureaucrats from all over the world who also miss Datang.

Even Empress Wu couldn't slaughter them all, and in the end they had to be out of sight,

Li Xuan glanced sideways at Qiu Zhenmu who was still stuck in the chess game, cupped his hands and said, "Really, I'm going to enter the city tomorrow."

"Don't worry, Pindao won't embarrass him."

Li Xuan took a deep breath and continued: "Thank you, Daoist. On the ninth day of September, Xiao Wang got married, and I hope Daoist will come to see you."

Ming Chongyan looked at Li Xuan with some surprise, and finally nodded with satisfaction: "Xuanzang Daoist's disciple is getting married, and the poor Taoist will naturally ask for two glasses of wedding wine."

"Then Xiao Wang is waiting for the real person to come." Li Xuan cupped his hands, and then slowly backed out.

Ming Chongyan looked at Li Xuan's back, and couldn't help but become serious.

Although Li Xuan is young, she is cautious.

In fact, tonight, their boat could reach Chang'an before the city gates were locked, as long as they boarded three minutes faster, but Li Xuan still took the boat to the city of Chang'an steadily.

Although the gate of the city has been locked, there is no change in the middle of the journey.

After arriving under the city, he went to the post station to have dinner again. It seemed that he was tired of staying on the boat, but Ming Chongyan knew that Li Xuan had gone to the shore to inquire about the current situation in Chang'an.

In case you enter Chang'an, your eyes will be darkened and you won't know anything.

He was plotted against, and he didn't even know how he died.

It's shocking to be so cautious.

……

A white note was reduced to ashes in the flames.

Li Xuan raised her head to look at Yu Ze, and said softly, "King Qi has been punished by a judge, so he will be exonerated from the governor of Cizhou and resettled in Lizhou."

"Do you know what the crime is?" Yu Ze glanced at the note and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, I don't even know who played it." Li Xuan's expression was serious.

Qi Wang Li Shangjin is the third son of Li Zhi, but he dare not be a concubine in the period of Queen Wang or Empress Wu.

However, in the first year of Yonghui, Qi Wang Li Shangjin led the governor of Yizhou from afar, and later served as the governor of Shouluci Zhuzhou.

There is no special relationship between Li Xuan and Qi King Li Shangjin, they just met at the funeral of Emperor Li Hong a few months ago, and they didn't even say a word.

Who would have thought that just a few months later, King Qi would have been dismissed from all official positions, reduced his fiefs, and placed under house arrest in Lizhou.

"People are knives, I'm fish!" Li Xuan looked at Yu Ze, and he could only say this in front of Yu Ze.

"Tian Hou is in a bad mood, Your Majesty, be careful in everything." Yu Ze reminded Li Xuan again.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and Yu Ze bowed his hands and retreated.

Li Xuan turned to look in the direction of the post station. The Turkic people suddenly appeared in front of him at this moment. Li Xuan didn't think it was a coincidence.

He never believed in coincidences.

Maybe there's something else to investigate here.

"Go, send someone to keep an eye on those Turkic people." Li Xuan looked sideways, and a man in black came out of the darkness without a sound, cupped his hands slightly, and backed away.

"The remains of Empress Dowager." Li Xuan looked up at the majestic Chang'an City, feeling puzzled in his heart.

Why did the emperor ask him to send the Empress Dowager's body to Chang'an? What is the mystery behind it.

Why are there so many people who are not from the Tianyin sect trying to snatch the body of the empress along the way? What's the secret?

……

It was just a little light, and there were not many people at the city gate.

On the pier, Li Xuan was already riding on a tall black horse, dressed in red and gold armor, looking majestic.

Behind him, after Qiu Zhenmu, Zhou Gan and others lined up, a long black carriage was surrounded in the middle, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

In the further back, there are Yu Ze and Qiqiao, and a group of students from Wuzhou, Hangzhou, and Yangzhou.

Zhuge Minghui, He Zhizhang and others were among them.

They will all participate in next year's Spring Festival, and the time is only four months away. They will come with Li Xuan and will temporarily live in Prince Peng's Mansion.

After entering the Chunming Gate, the broad street was filled with figures immediately.

Compared with Luoyang, Chang'an has a wider street, and you can see foreigners haunting everywhere on the street, rushing back and forth quickly.

They have fully integrated into the city.

Li Xuan and his party walked through the middle of the street. The women and children around them, not only did not have any fear, but looked at the crowd of Qianniuwei with curious eyes.

Cross the long street, enter the imperial city from Anshangmen, go straight to Taiji Palace, then turn left and enter Zuoqianniuwei Mansion opposite Changle Gate.

"I have met the king." A middle-aged general wearing the armor of a general of Zhonglang was waiting in front of the Weifu gate. When he saw Li Xuan, he immediately cupped his hands: "The last general, He Yu, has seen the king of Nanchang."

"I've met He Zhonglang!" Li Xuan got off his horse and returned the salute with his hands.

He Yu is one of the two Zhonglang generals in Zuoqianniuwei Mansion, Qiu Zhenmu, Zhou Kai and others are all his subordinates.

However, for a long time, the two Zhonglang generals of Qianniuwei's mansion have been guarding Chang'an, while the two Qianniuwei generals have followed the emperor between Chang'an and Luoyang.

"Leave these to the last general. The King of Beiping County is waiting for his lord at the palace!" He Yu looked past Li Xuan and landed on the black carriage.

"Then trouble He Zhonglang." Li Xuan cupped his hands slightly, and without any hesitation, followed Qian Niuwei who was leading the way and left.

Surrounded by thousands of cattle guards who came back and forth, when they saw Li Xuan, they all solemnly bowed their hands and stood aside.

In the official house on the left, Li Xuan met Li Jingjia, King of Beiping County again.

Not seen for several months, Li Jingjia seems to have not changed.

Standing at the door, Li Xuan bowed his hands to Li Jingjia who was writing an official document: "General Li Xuan, the inspector left Qianniu Wei Zhonglang, has met the general."

"27 Lang, sit down." Li Jingjia raised his head, glanced at the short man on the left, then lowered his head and buried himself in the official document again.

Li Xuan calmly walked to the short bench and sat down, then silently waited for Li Jingjia to finish processing the official documents.

After a while, Li Jingjia put the official document in his hand aside, then looked up at Li Xuan, and said with satisfaction: "Seeing that 27 Lang is still calm, I finally feel relieved."

Li Xuan cupped her hands with a wry smile: "Young brother just made some meritorious service, how could he be arrogant in front of Brother Wang?"

There are countless generals in the Tang Dynasty who slaughtered the country and exterminated the species. Li Jingjia, the Zuo Qianniuwei General in front of him, fought on the battlefield in his early years. The military exploits are the source.

"It's good that 27 Lang has the numbers, I have something to tell you in advance as a brother." Li Jingjia looked at Li Xuan solemnly.

Li Xuan immediately cupped her hands: "Brother Wang, please tell me."

Li Jingjia nodded slightly, and said: "This is a cloudy event. Soon, His Majesty will remove you from the post of inspector Zuo Qianniuwei Zhonglang. You have to be prepared."

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said calmly: "Although it is true that I am a little bit reluctant, but my little brother knows it well, the little brother inspected Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang himself for the convenience of calming down the Tianyin sect. quiet."

"27 Lang made the right choice, much better than when he was a brother." Li Jingjia sighed softly, and then he smiled: "But 27 Lang, don't worry, this matter should be done after your wedding, at least you have to be proud of it." It’s a glorious wedding.”

"Thank you, Brother Wang now." Li Xuan cupped his hands, his face was full of joy.

Li Jing Jiajing's expression suddenly became solemn: "Brother Wei has reported the news of your return to Beijing to the sage this morning, and the sage will probably summon you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so you should be prepared."

"Follow the order!" Li Xuan immediately bowed solemnly.

"Also, what should be said or not should be said about the matter in Wuzhou. You know in your heart that Chang'an is a land of wind and rain, so be careful." Li Jingjia reminded her again.

"Thank you, Brother Wang." Li Xuan cupped her hands earnestly, and then asked cautiously, "Where is the East Palace?"

"I have seen His Majesty first."
