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

Chapter 539 Dao and art, mother and child

Between the pavilions, the breeze swept through.

Li Xian looked at the lotus pond in front of him, his eyes were cold and stern: "It seems that all the states and counties in the world should send people to check in the future."

"Indeed." Li Xuan nodded directly, and said: "No matter whether it is useful or not, it is good for the central government to send people to patrol, and it is always good to alert those corrupt officials. With a little effort, the common people will be less exploited."

"What Uncle Wang said is true." Li Xian smiled softly and said, "Talk to Uncle Wang, it will be more effective than Xian studying with a teacher for many years."

"Your Highness is wrong." Li Xuan quickly looked at Li Xian with a straight face, and in his surprised eyes, he retorted solemnly: "Your Highness is teaching the Tao, and what I use is nothing more than art. Your Highness must not make a mistake about the technique."

Tao is the law of natural operation, and it is also the foundation of human self-cultivation.

Art is a way of doing things for people to obey the laws of nature, and it is also a way for people to control, advance, and defend.

Li Xian's teachers who are famous in the world may be lacking in means, but on the road, a hundred Li Xuan can't compare.

"Xian has been taught." Li Xian looked sincere, keeping everything in his heart, and then he continued: "Uncle Wang's trip to the southeast, to rectify Wuzhou, pacify rebels, and appease Muzhou. Although the time is short, he has made great achievements It's very great, Xian admires it very much, but there is one thing, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"

"Your Highness, please speak." Li Xuan looked at Li Xian seriously. As the crown prince, Li Xian and Li Xuan talked so much nonsense in this back pavilion, it was not without reason.

"Uncle Wang, please take a look." Li Xian said, took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Li Xuan with a solemn expression.

Li Xuan took the memorial and opened it, and it reads impressively: "Chen Wang Bo, please play your highness the crown prince. Since I was young... I would like to exchange my humble contribution for my father to return to the Central Plains. I would like to take my father's place. Your highness, please." Grace."

Li Xuan slowly put down the memorial, and said with emotion: "I have always known that Mr. Zi'an is an extremely filial man, and how he is willing to let his father's generation work thousands of miles away, and now please use his own body to replace him, is actually not too beyond what I expected."

"So, Uncle Wang agreed?"

"Everyone has his own aspirations." After a short pause, Li Xuan looked at Li Xian and said, "Actually, a few months ago, I told the sage and the queen of heaven, and I asked the two sages to look at Mr. Zi'an's pure filial piety. His father was transferred back to Shenzhou to work, even if it is a remote place in Minyun, Guizhou, it is better than Jiaozhi thousands of miles away, but the sage and the queen have not agreed, and now this memorial is sent to atone for his sins, the two sages may meet Gladly agree."

"In this way, this matter is considered to be done." Li Xian shook his head slightly, and said with a sigh: "In fact, this palace is also reluctant to part with Mr. Zi'an, but what Uncle Wang said, filial piety is the best way in the world, and it cannot be stopped, so let him go, maybe After several years of cochin practice, it is not impossible for Mr. Zi'an to achieve something else."

"Yes!" Li Xuan disagreed, but a trace of luck flashed across his expression.

Wang Bo's trip to the south this time must pass through Nanchang.

If Li Xuan remembers correctly, the Tengwang Pavilion should be renovated in the near future.

He thought it was a pity at first, but now it seems that everything is destined.

Originally, when Wang Bo was visiting his father in Jiaozhi, he fell into the water and drowned. Now if he is appointed as the county magistrate of Jiaozhi, he will not return to the north for a few years. In this way, life and death can be avoided.

In addition, there is Li Xian, no matter how gentle, courteous and frugal Li Xian is, the conflict between him and Empress Wu will become more and more serious.

Wang Bo is Li Xian's close minister, if something happens to Li Xian, Wang Bo will inevitably be implicated, and with his relationship with Li Xuan, Li Xuan will inevitably get involved in this quagmire.

Now, he avoided it, and Li Xuan also avoided it.

Just a pity.

However, the preface to the Tengwang Pavilion is also good.

……

Looking around, Li Xian waved his hand, and all the maids and servants around stepped back.

At this time, Li Xian, whose face was flushed due to drinking, said with some annoyance: "Uncle Wang doesn't know something. I am young, and the time to deal with government affairs is still short. Some ideas and methods are not mature enough. I am often reprimanded by my mother. I don’t know what kindness Uncle Wang has to help me?”

"Hiss!" Li Xuan couldn't help but gasp, did Li Xian ask him such words?

Seeing Li Xian's drunken appearance, Li Xuan cursed inwardly, are you really drunk?

Raising her head and looking at the lotus pond in front of her, Li Xuan leaned on the railing with one hand, with a look of hesitation on her face.

The relationship between Li Xuan and Li Xian is not close, they just came to perform because of the entrustment of the two saints.

He didn't want to get involved in the dispute between Empress Wu and Li Xian, but now that Li Xian raised it directly, Li Xuan couldn't directly refuse.

Looking up and looking around, Li Xuan keenly noticed that there are really only him and Li Xian in the entire back pavilion.

Even all other guards, both open and secret, were driven away.

It seems that Li Xian is well prepared.

After a little thought, Li Xuan turned her head and said in a low voice: "Your Highness has been in the East Palace for some time, but I don't know if you remember that day in the Qianyuan Hall, His Highness once promised His Majesty and the Holy Queen to give birth to Lin'er as soon as possible, so that the child will be born soon." The Queen of Heaven has a house full of children and grandchildren."

Li Xuan clicked a little bit, and Li Xian immediately understood.

Taking advantage of the family relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, Empress Wu shifted more attention away from government affairs.

After all, neither Li Xian, Li Xian, nor Li Dan, nor the deceased Emperor Li Hong, have no sons of their own.

In other words, Empress Wu has not had any grandchildren of her own until now.

Empress Wu is already over fifty. For her eldest grandson, Empress Wu's heart will inevitably not soften.

"Taught." Li Xian nodded seriously.

"Your Highness, this is the law of nature, and it only works for a while. Please hurry up and familiarize yourself with government affairs, so that you can make no mistakes." Li Xuan made a final point, but faintly, he seemed to have said more say something.

Li Xian nodded seriously, and now he just needs a moment of relaxation.

With a lightened look, Li Xian smiled and said: "Uncle Wang has left famous poems in Yangzhou, Hangzhou and Wuzhou, and even the day before yesterday, there was a beautiful little poem, which is admirable and admirable. It's Uncle Wang's big wedding, but I still hope to see more of Uncle Wang's demeanor."

Make-up reminder poems are now fashionable when the man arrives at the bride's home to greet the bride, recite the reminder poems aloud, and urge the bride to dress up as soon as possible.

"Where is the famous poem? I just wrote it out of feelings. I am not good at literature. Your Highness should know." Li Xuan's face was full of helplessness. He himself did not have much interest in developing in the literary world. He wrote poems a few times. It's just for fun.

"That's why I am more sincere, Uncle Wang, please!" Li Xian raised his wine glass again.

……

The black carriage swayed into Prince Peng's mansion, the carriage stopped, and Li Xuan, who was a little drunk, was helped out of the carriage.

Concubine Peng Ouyang quickly came up to her, and seeing Li Xuan's appearance, she couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why do you drink so much?"

"Mother!" Li Xuan tried her best to stand still, her expression relaxed a little, and she cupped her hands and said, "The prince treats guests, so I have to drink a few more glasses, besides, I didn't drink much."

Seeing that although Li Xuan was a little confused, but still able to control herself, Ouyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hurry up and go back to the house to rest, relatives and friends will come to visit in two days."

"I got it." Li Xuan's expression became serious, and then she bowed towards Ouyang and said, "Go back."

Li Xuan resigned, and Ouyang said to the maid beside her, "Let the kitchen make two bowls of wild rice soup and send them over to relieve the hangover."

"Here!"

……

Li Zhu sent Li Xuan to the bedroom, Qiqiao brought Qiyu, Qihua, Sijin, and Ruyu helped Li Xuan take off his coat, and wiped his face. At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. sounded.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, Li Xuan said without raising her head, "You five go out first, guard the door, and no one is allowed to come in."

Li Xuan's voice was calm and sober, and she didn't look drunk at all.

Qiqiao immediately understood that Li Xuan was pretending to be drunk, and beckoned to the others, and the maids immediately retreated.

Li Xuan exhaled a long breath, and the breath rushed out from the open window.

After taking a sip of tea, Li Xuan turned to look at Yu Ze.

Yu Ze held up the memorial in his hand, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this is a thank you note written by your subordinates. The Queen of Heaven has a decree to bestow a thousand households on the king. Your Majesty has a decree to bestow the final Nanshan Huangzhuang. One, and some other rewards were sent to Zuo Xiang's mansion."

Li Xuan took the memorial, glanced at it, then put it aside, looked at Yu Ze solemnly, and said, "Uncle Yu, when do you think the imperial court will use troops against Tubo?"

"It should be after the spring planting. Tubo is bitterly cold, winter and spring are not good, and April is the best month. It was like this in the battle of Dafeichuan." Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan with some surprise, and asked: "Today we talked about the treatment of Tubo. About using troops?"

"The Queen of Heaven, Your Majesty, and the Crown Prince all asked about this King, so it's very serious!" Li Xuan sighed softly, and told everything about what happened to the King today.

After listening to what Li Xuan said, Yu Ze pondered and said: "Your Majesty, what the Queen of Heaven and the Sage said is the key point of Tubo; although the Tianyin Sect is dead, the King of the Western Regions and the King of the East Sea still exist, especially the King of the East Sea, whose identity is hidden. Once you get in touch with the king of the Western Regions, you will definitely threaten the army in the future; as for the saint, the saint is more concerned about the tactics of warfare, or money and food. The crown prince seems to be paying attention to this point."

Li Xuan nodded, knocked on the table, and said softly: "Although the identity of the King of the East China Sea is still secret, but since the Tianyin Sect was destroyed, Master Shiyin must have found many relevant clues. How to capture him is Shiyin. It's a matter of the real person... I'm afraid the Demon Sect will not be stable, they have always been good at wooing those corrupt officials, but it is inevitable to have fewer hands and feet, and the real person Shiyin is very courageous."

After a short pause, Li Xuan continued: "As for money and food, Your Majesty should have a plan. Han Canjun was transferred to the household department member Wailang, and he is probably busy with these things. This matter has nothing to do with us. We are in the southeast. If you can hide from the center, you can hide."

Li Xuan didn't want to get involved in the treacherous disputes between the government and the opposition within a few days of getting married.

When talking about Tubo before, it was mainly because of his outstanding military achievements in Wuzhou, so it was unavoidable, but when it came to the dispute between the crown prince and the queen of heaven, Li Xuan was more or less tricked by Li Xian.

Today's new prince is not a good person.
