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

Chapter 568 Zhongnanshan, honeymoon

As the sun was setting, Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu came out at the gate of the Lecheng County Government, surrounded by everyone from the Liu family.

Standing in front of the front door, Li Xuan turned around, cupped his hands and bowed to his father-in-law Liu Yuanlang, and said, "Tomorrow my son-in-law will take Sanniang to the mausoleum to offer sacrifices to the ancestors. He will go there that day, but the bandits suddenly come and disrupt him. Go to Huangzhuang at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain to take a look. I haven’t been to that Zhuangzi sage after it was given to me. I heard that there are hot springs... the weather is getting colder, so it’s good to go to the hot springs more.”

Liu Jinyu looked at the crowd expectantly and said: "Mum and all the aunts, sisters-in-law, sisters, if you are free, you can go with Sanniang someday."

"Third Sister, what is the hot spring?" A somewhat naive voice came from behind. Wuniang Qiongyu, who was wearing a pink and green skirt, squeezed out of the crowd, looking at Liu Jin expectantly with curiosity on her face. Yu.

"The hot spring is the warm spring water that grows from the ground. It is very warm without burning it." Liu Jinyu lowered his body and touched Wu Niang Qiongyu's forehead, and explained to her in a low voice.

Li Xuan couldn't help laughing, then cupped her hands to Liu Yuanqi and said, "Second uncle, if the nephew and son-in-law come to pick up Wu Niang and go to Zhongnan Mountain together in the morning of the next day, San Niang will inevitably have family members to accompany her in the future." , it’s good to get acquainted with it in advance.”

Liu Yuanqi was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously looked at his eldest brother Liu Yuanshen and fourth brother Liu Yuanlang.

Liu Yuanshen and Liu Yuanlang nodded at the same time, Liu Yuanqi immediately understood that this was Aye's arrangement.

Liu Yuanqi turned around and looked at Li Xuan gently: "That's it, let the groom officer arrange it."

"Thank you uncle, my son-in-law bid farewell to all the elders." Li Xuan once again bowed his hands to everyone in the Liu residence, and then sat back in the carriage with Liu Jinyu who looked reluctant.

The carriage slowly left Yongxingfang.

Sitting in the carriage, Liu Jinyu glanced at the stack of gifts brought back from Liu's residence, and then asked Li Xuan, "Mr. Lang, how did you talk with Ah Weng today?"

"It's shocking!" Li Xuan reached out and pulled Liu Jinyu's little hand over, covering Li Xuan's hand, and then said with emotion: "Being a husband can be regarded as a first-time understanding of people's hearts, but this matter in the middle of the court, it is more difficult than that." What my husband imagined is even more mysterious and unpredictable."

The king of the East China Sea, the hidden crown princess.

According to Li Xuan's last guess, how hard-hearted they are, and how deeply painful they are.

Even Li Xuan, who is well-informed, would not be willing to easily get involved in this situation.

However, without realizing it, Li Xuan had already got involved.

……

Liu Jinyu leaned gently into Li Xuan's arms, and asked in a low voice: "Is that thing really so dangerous?"

"Yeah!" Li Xuan nodded, and softly said with emotion: "Some things, when you appear there, you have already been used by others, and you don't even know when the use is over. This is the case right now. .”

After a short pause, Li Xuan continued: "San Niang, when your husband is not in Chang'an, you have to be careful. Many of the properties in the family have been left in the open. If someone makes a move, don't confront them head-on. Just stabilize the situation. Husband knew a lot of censors in the early years, you just ask Li Bi to sort out the collected things and send them over... If someone has a deeper calculation, you have to be optimistic."

Liu Jinyu responded softly: "I remember it."

In the past, when Li Xuan was not in Chang'an, no one paid attention to Prince Peng's residence, so basically no one would feel the attention of Prince Peng's residence.

But now, as Li Xuan's position is getting higher and higher, it is inevitable that someone will turn their attention to Prince Peng's mansion.

Especially when he is not in Chang'an.

Others are fine, what Li Xuan is really worried about is Pei Yan.

Pei Yan's dislike for Li Xuan was clearly visible. According to Li Xuan's observation, it all stemmed from the different strategies of different parties in dealing with the war in Tubo.

Maybe it's because he has been Minister of the Ministry of Justice for a long time, and when encountering different opinions, Pei Yan didn't think about how to refute them head-on, but wanted to achieve success by attacking the opponent himself.

This method is very annoying, but very effective.

If it were someone else, if they met the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, they might have been ruined long ago.

"Ordinary people dare not confront my family with violence. After all, my husband is now inspecting the Jinwu Guard Zhonglang General. Even if he is not in Chang'an, he will give face inside and out, let alone Yue Weng is there, so it is easy not to Someone will make a move, but once they make a move, they will either have a long-term plan or have no conspiracy, the lady must be careful." Li Xuan hugged Liu Jinyu's soft body tightly.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm not that easy to provoke." Liu Jinyu raised her head and looked at Li Xuan, her eyes were full of confidence.

Liu Jinyu helped Liu Rengui deal with countless government affairs, and many things were more thorough than anyone thought.

If someone really ignored her, it might be bad luck.

"Haha..." Thinking of that, Li Xuan couldn't help laughing, then lowered her head...

……

Two days later, a carriage staggered out of Mingde Gate, boarded the official ship at the pier, and drove slowly westward.

The Wei River flows for a long time, and the scenery on both sides of the river is beautiful.

"Third Sister, is Huangzhuang very far away?" Fifth Niang Qiongyu raised her head, her eyes full of curiosity were withdrawn from the window.

Qiongyu seldom came to Chang'an before, but this time she came because of Liu Jinyu's wedding.

Previously, I followed the emperor all the way from Chang'an, and the flags were flying along the road, so I couldn't see any beautiful scenery at all. '

Liu Jinyu smiled softly, pressed the top of Qiongyu's head, and said, "It's still more than half an hour to Huangzhuang, and there are still more than [-] miles to Zhongnan Town at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, which means there are many people. , it will be faster if you simply ride a horse."

"Third sister, where shall we stay for a few days?" The fourth mother, Liu Shubi, looked at her sister enviously.

Although her grandfather Liu Rengui was the prime minister, she did not have the treatment of being served by an official boat when she travels at any time.

"Three days. After three days, when you return to the city, your brother-in-law will return to Wuzhou." After Liu Jinyu finished speaking, she looked at Li Xuan, who was standing in the corner and resting with her eyes slightly squinted. Last night, they slept together. Not early.

Li Xuan noticed his wife's shy eyes, smiled faintly, and then returned to Chang'an.

Chang'an, the matter with the King of the East China Sea is not over yet.

The matter of the Huang family was nothing more than an insignificant matter. Now Dali Temple, Jinwu Guard, Chang'an County, and even the Ministry of Criminal Justice began to intervene in the mystery of Liu Guangye's death.

After Di Renjie found out that Liu Guangye died of being hanged by others, the Jinwu Guard soon cooperated and asked him to check Liu Guangye's official residence.

That is to say, the Jinwu Guard cooperated as soon as possible. Just after they checked Liu Guangye's official residence, people from the Ministry of Punishment suddenly came.

I don't know how Pei Yan got through Cheng Chubi's relationship. Anyway, with Cheng Chubi's permission, they checked Liu Guangye's official residence again, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs did not report the investigation report to the Jinwu Guard at all. Intend.

The younger generation was aggrieved there, but the older generation felt a burst of gratitude.

Dali Temple has already checked Liu Guangye's official residence, and soon sent a notification to Jinwuwei.

Qin Shandao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. If the Ministry of Punishment really didn't disclose any information, then they just made up something at random, and the Jinwu Guard didn't know.

Now that there is a report from Dali Temple, the means of those in the Ministry of Punishment will not fall on Jin Wuwei.

Now at this time, the Jinwu Guard has begun to gradually withdraw from Liu Guangye's case according to what Li Xuan said, and put more attention on the horsemen in the Minister's House of the Ministry of War and the Minister's House of the Criminal Ministry.

Although before, Ashina Nishugen and Ashina Gana just sneaked into the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Punishment to steal horses, and then escaped with other tokens, but in Li Xuan's view, this matter at least It reflects Donghai King's attention to these two places.

Or to be more precise, it is the attention paid to Pei Xingjian, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Pei Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Behind this matter is not so simple.

Although only one or two small people like horsemen set foot here, it reveals that the East China Sea King is familiar with the interior of these two mansions.

Only in this way can he come up with such a way at the critical moment.

The war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is imminent, the deployment of the Ministry of War is very important, and the king of the East China Sea has been staring at Pei Xingjian.

The current incident seems to have aroused people's suspicion of Pei Xingjian and Pei Yan, but Empress Wu's deliberate action has also hindered people's further investigation of the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War. Then they will be safer now, which may be one of the calculations of the King of the East China Sea.

Therefore, at this moment, Li Xuan asked Jin Wuwei to quietly investigate everything related to the stables of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War and the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment, and then follow the clues. Maybe he could really dig out the identity of the King of the East China Sea.

However, the King of the East China Sea has always been cunning, and this matter may lead him to a scapegoat.

So Li Xuan himself did not intervene, but stood on the shore, watching with cold eyes. He wanted to see clearly all the means of the King of the East China Sea, and he wanted to see clearly all the manpower and material resources he had mobilized in this matter, and his means of doing things.

At least to force out all his superficial methods.

Now is not the time for Li Xuan to reveal the identity of the King of the East China Sea. There is a King of the East China Sea outside, and there is a legitimate son of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng outside. He will greatly attract the attention of the emperor and Empress Wu, and facilitate Li Xuan's smooth growth.

Even if the king of the East China Sea is in crisis one day, Li Xuan will help him if he can't say it.

Even if one day he dies, Li Xuan will create a new king of the East China Sea.

The Tang court will always need such an enemy.

……

The official ship turned from the Weishui River to the Heihe River, and at the southwest turn of the Heihe River, a Huangzhuang suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The Heihe River is wide and flows north from Zhongnan Mountain.

Pieces of fertile fields are irrigated on both sides of the strait, and the fields are intertwined and neatly intertwined.

You can see the shadow of Zhongnan Mountain in the distance, at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain is the outer gate of Louguan Dao.

Li Xuan turned her head, looked at the county seat eight or nine miles away to the east, and said in a deep voice: "That is the county town of Yuhe, if you say something, just say hello, and the county magistrate will come immediately, and you will often Be careful when you come and go.”

Liu Jinyu took Si Niang Liu Shubi and Wu Niang Qiongyu to look at the county town from a distance, then turned to look at Li Xuan, and asked in a low voice: "Husband, are the guards in Yuu County as skilled as our own guards? "

"No." Li Xuan shook his head directly, and said softly: "But as long as the guards arrive, it means that the court has arrived. If someone continues to make trouble, it is tantamount to provoking the court. If there are officers and soldiers casualties at this time, then It’s killing officials and rebelling.”
