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

Chapter 610 Happy Pulse, Happy Pulse

In the Zichen Palace, after the golden case, Empress Wu looked at the empty hall in front of her, and said faintly: "Fan Qing, what if the King of Nanchang is transferred to Silla?"

Fan Lubing was taken aback for a moment, but then he suddenly understood: "This matter is feasible. The king of Nanchang is a careful person, and coupled with his background, Li Jinxing must not dare to put him on the front line. It is indeed better than letting him stay in Yangzhou. But... ..."

"Say it straight." Empress Wu waved her hand indifferently. It was not that easy, and Fan Lubing hadn't finished speaking.

"Tianhou, the king of Nanchang is very good at defending the city." Fan Lubing cupped his hands, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "Although the matter of the East Island, although the king of Nanchang planned it carefully, the people's hearts are dangerous. Not the right way.

If there is an eventuality, the army is defeated, although it is very difficult to happen, but in an eventuality, with the power of the king of Nanchang, Li Jinxing will not take his identity into consideration, and put him at the end to delay Silla's footsteps. It is inevitable. Although it is dangerous, the king of Nanchang is likely to make great achievements. Once he retreats from the whole body, his momentum will be unstoppable. "

"It's all like this, he can still create miracles." Empress Wu finally showed a trace of surprise on his face.

"Queen of Heaven!" Fan Lubing bowed slightly, and said, "The king of Nanchang relies more on armaments and timing than the elite soldiers to defend the city. If he is given enough craftsmen, he can guard the city for a month without any problem. In addition, there are It's the right time."

Speaking of this, Fan Lubing's expression gradually became a little heavy: "The king of Nanchang was trained by the king of medicine Wei Xuanzang, and he didn't have much achievements in medical science, but he learned the Taoist method of observing the sky at night. A fire at Meiling Pass The hurricane on the Wujiang River is a clear proof, if it is on the East Island, if the time is right, there will be another big fire, and the city will be burned, and the people of Silla may be catastrophe."

Empress Wu nodded slightly, and the scene of countless Silla soldiers being engulfed in disasters in the fire emerged in her mind. Similarly, there was also the figure of Li Xuan who was looking at the fire city from a distant mountain, and then led the crowd to retreat calmly.

"He can indeed do it." Empress Wu sighed softly, and then said with a low laugh: "If it is true, I am afraid that after a hard battle, a real-time Sixteen Guards Zhonglang will be indispensable, and even His Majesty will Let him directly succeed Qiu Shenji."

"Tianhou, if this is the case with the king of Nanchang, I'm afraid it may not be impossible to succeed General Cheng in the future." Fan Lubing's last words finally changed Empress Wu's face completely.

Cheng Chubi was loyal to the emperor, but between being loyal to the emperor and the queen of heaven, he chose the queen of heaven.

Standing on the gate of the imperial city, Cheng Chubi did give Empress Wu a great sense of security, and at the same time let the important officials in the government and the public know the strength of Empress Wu. The change of people's hearts in the room is terrible.

"In that case, let him stay in Jiangnan." Empress Wu made a quick judgment.

Fan Lubing bowed slightly, and said: "I know what the queen is worried about, but according to Yichen, the queen is too worried."

"Oh?" Empress Wu raised her eyes, frowned slightly, and then said, "Fan Qing elaborate."

"Here!" Fan Lubing cupped his hands again, and then straightened up and said carefully: "From the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, to the former Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, although there were occasional disasters, they were generally not hindered. It's hard to say how stable it is, and it will invest too much because of the change of kingship.

Therefore, not to mention the King of Nanchang, even if Pei Shangshu came personally, the Wuyue family only dealt with it on the surface. Their minds were still in the court, and on His Majesty, the Queen of Heaven only needed to send envoys to comfort her at the right time The heart of the family. "

"Fan Qing is transparent." Empress Wu finally laughed, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "It seems that the King of the East China Sea does not have much power in the land of Wuyue."

"That should be the case." Fan Lubing's voice was steady, but very sure.

"In that case, let's see what the king of Nanchang can do in the southeast." Empress Wu finally felt relieved, smiled lightly, and leaned back slightly. Empress Wu's eyes fell outside the hall, and then asked casually Said: "What does Fan Qing think of the king of Nanchang?"

"There is an attitude of being alone, but the overall situation is too bad." Fan Lubing shook his head slightly, and said with emotion: "The reason why I suggest keeping Nanchang King in the southeast is because it is indeed not a bad thing."

"Fan Qing elaborate." Although Empress Wu's voice was very soft, she turned slightly sideways, and he was clearly interested.

Among the many Beimen scholars, Fan Lubing was also the most stable person. In some matters, Empress Wu had more trust in him than Yuan Wanqing and Liu Yizhi.

Fan Lubing clasped his hands again and said, "Tianhou, looking at the Nanchang King since he became an official, Luoyang, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, and Wuzhou have mostly focused on solving cases, or because of their ability to understand people's hearts, they often use the method of solving cases. Lingguan, breaking the enemy on the Wujiang River, seems to be borrowing the wind, but the essence is still guessing people's hearts, this trip may be used to judge cases, but marching is not at all."

"Qing said before that the king of Nanchang was good at defending the city, so why did he say that he was not good at all?" Empress Wu frowned slightly.

"Tianhou, defending the city only needs to guess and grasp the hearts of one's own side, and only needs to have a general idea of ​​the other side, but the army's conquest is far from the case. First, the number of soldiers and generals is far more than that of defending the city; second, the battle situation It stretches long and far, and the battlefield is vast, especially the cavalry, mainly Tubo, and the cavalry moves quickly, which is too influenced by the tactics of the right time and place, but it is not used enough by the people."

After a short pause, Fan Lubing said with a wry smile: "This is what I said before. The king of Nanchang's general situation is not enough. It is okay to defend the city, but he can't march. He may be transferred to the governor of a certain state on the western front in the future, but that's all. , Do not allow him to be a marching general."

Empress Wu nodded subconsciously. In her mind, she recalled what Li Xuan had done in Luoyang, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Wuzhou, and even Muzhou. Finally, she nodded and said, "Fan Qing's words are good. During the time of Muzhou, Duan Baoxuan asked him to serve as a pacifier, so it seems that Duan Qing also thinks the same."

"Yes." Fan Lubing breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "The king of Nanchang is cautious, but he loves his people like a son...heh..."

Empress Wu was taken aback for a moment, and asked with some confusion, "Why is Fan Qing laughing?"

"I lost my temper." Fan Lubing immediately cupped his hands, restrained his smile, and said, "The king of Nanchang actually doesn't have much love for the people. He is just interested in the art of water conservancy. Forget it, it’s just a young man’s ideal, just think about it, a young man who has not reached the crown, how much can he care about the sufferings of the people!”

"Fan Qing's ability to see people is really special!" Empress Wu relaxed a lot at once. In fact, the reason why she paid so much attention to Li Xuan was because Li Xuan had gained Li Zhi's trust, and she was clearly trying to send Li Xuan to Li Zhi. develop in a particular direction.

Now hearing what Fan Lubing said, Empress Wu's use of Li Xuan suddenly broadened her horizons.

What the emperor is thinking now is to let Li Xuan stay in Honglu Temple for a few years, and then be transferred to the governor of the local state. , just need to do a little tricks in the middle, Honglu Temple, Sinong Temple, Dali Temple, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Industry, and even the Ministry of Punishment, Shaoqing, Qing, Shilang, and a few more governors in the middle are enough to make him survive until sixty-seventy years old, at that time...

Empress Wu didn't think too much when she thought of this. At that time, she might not even be there.

After a slight pause, Empress Wu looked again at the memorabilia on the table. Li Xuan was handed over to the emperor through the crown prince, and finally fell into her hands for a secret melody. Empress Wu asked softly, "Fan Qing, what do you think about the relationship between the King of Nanchang and the crown prince?" how?"

"It's just the subordinates of the monarch and his ministers." Fan Lubing replied very directly.

"Oh?" Empress Wu's expression was a little flat, but she said: "The King of Nanchang sends a memorial every ten days. His Majesty intends to let Xian'er learn from the King of Nanchang how to deal with local government. After all, they are the same age. Participate in the wedding of the King of Nanchang."

"The Empress of Heaven." Fan Lubing's voice followed closely: "The Empress of Heaven is wise, you should be able to see that in the memorials of the King of Nanchang, there are only government affairs and official affairs, and there is no personal relationship. Moreover, as far as I know, there are several concubines and guests in the East Palace today. , there are government affairs to be busy, so after the Nanchang king's memorial arrived, the prince did not study it much, and sent it to His Majesty, the Nanchang king and the prince are just monarchs and ministers."

Speaking of this, Fan Lubing sighed softly, and said: "The Queen of Heaven still remembers that in Luoyang, it was the time when the King of Nanchang found out the prince's inappropriateness. The King of Nanchang may not have thought much about it, but the prince..."

"Bang!" Empress Wu slapped heavily on the table in front of her, gnashing her teeth and cursing, "You bastard!"

"The Queen of Heaven calm down, the crown prince is just young." Fan Lubing hurriedly comforted him, and at the same time said: "You just need to be strict, time..."

Before Fan Lubing could finish his words, a servant came up silently from the side and put a memorial on the table in front of Empress Wu. down.

Fan Lubing blinked and quickly lowered his head.

Secret guards, in the entire palace, only secret guards have the right and courage to send the memorandum when Empress Wu is angry.

Because that in itself was the privilege bestowed upon them by Empress Wu, and almost all the things that the secret guards played were specifically entrusted by Empress Wu.

Empress Wu suppressed her anger, and picked up the memorial book without hesitation, but at the first glance, her face was full of weirdness.

Fan Lubing asked cautiously: "Tian Hou, I don't know what happened?"

Empress Wu took a look at Fan Lubing, raised her head, and asked her subordinates to send the memorial to him. At the same time, she said a little funnyly: "Earlier today, Princess Nanchang was not feeling well. Princess Peng asked the medicine king Wei Xuanzang to diagnose her pulse. Just now I got it." Happy pulse."

"The king of Nanchang has a concubine?" Fan Lubing's face was full of surprise, and he couldn't help saying: "The king of Nanchang has only been married for less than a month."

"Twenty days." Empress Wu nodded amusedly, and said: "Originally, Princess Peng of Nanchang has not yet had her menstrual period, and Princess Peng has already noticed something, so she specially asked Wei Xuanzang, the king of medicine, for a pulse diagnosis. With the power of the king of medicine, this Only then did the Xi pulse be diagnosed, but it will take another [-] days to confirm."

The smile on Empress Wu's face subsided slightly, and then said: "No matter what, this is a good thing, it's a happy event for the clan, and an order is passed to select nourishing medicinal materials from the palace to Prince Peng's mansion to express condolences and make a lot of fanfare."

Fan Lubing was taken aback for a moment, then cupped his hands in surprise, and said, "The Queen of Heaven is wise!"

Empress Wu shook her head, and said softly: "Earlier, this empress was still thinking about whether to send it to Silla, but now it seems that it's better to forget it. The decree is that the princess of Nanchang is pregnant, and Princess Peng has an invitation, so that the king of Nanchang will not be able to leave." OK."

"Tianhou Shengming, in this way, the matter of the East Island will be easier to handle." Fan Lubing said a word, and Empress Wu looked over immediately.

Fan Lubing immediately shut up, a trace of regret flashed across his face.

Empress Wu shook her head slightly, then looked towards the center of the empty hall in front of her, as if she was thinking about something.

Or, he was figuring something out.
