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

Chapter 658 I don't understand why he always gets involved
Wu Chengsi looked at Li Xuan in astonishment. He didn't expect that the reason why Li Xuan went to the Secretary's Office this morning was because the Secretary's Office stored Gaozu's imperial seal and imperial seal book which were the easiest to obtain among the various divisions.

Wu Chengsi couldn't refute this point, the facts were right in front of him.

However, even he didn't know when the King of the East China Sea quietly entered the Secretary's Department, and then secretly tampered with the imperial seal and bottom book left by Gaozu in the last year, and stole the Chinese characters in it.

Wu Chengsi didn't even know what year the King of the East Sea did it.

At this time, Li Xuan took a step forward, cupped his hands slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven, the History Museum, the Hongwen Museum, the Chongwen Museum, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Prince's Neifang Bureau have fewer people under their jurisdiction, and they are high-ranking officials in the court. The matter is of great importance and there are many registrations. It is difficult for outsiders to steal the imperial seal and bottom book silently.

Only the Ministry of Secretary has been divided too many powers and responsibilities over the years. It is under the jurisdiction of the library and can be taken by others at will, so it is taken advantage of by others.

This matter is not the responsibility of Zhou Guogong alone, but the result of years of accumulated malpractice. "

Ming Chongyan on one side also cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Queen of Heaven, this matter needs to be dealt with in a timely manner. If these letters and the stolen words in the bottom book are combined, I am afraid that a copy of the text written by Gaozu will be produced immediately." Succession Edict."

"Fake." Li Xuan immediately added, Ming Chongyan nodded gratefully to Li Xuan.

Empress Wu withdrew her gaze, looked up at Li Zhi, and said softly, "Your Majesty."

"Okay, since everyone is pleading for Wu Qing, then they will be fined for one year as a warning to everyone else, and at the same time, go back and check all the files in the secretary's prison immediately." Li Zhi straightened up, staring at Wu Chengsi and said : "Wu Qing, I don't want to see another forged edict from the late emperor."

Emperor Gaozu's edict, even if the East China Sea King obtained it, might not be of much use, but if someone forged Emperor Taizong's edict, Li Zhi's throne would be shaken immediately.

"I am terrified, I obey the order, and I will go immediately." Wu Chengsi was extremely smart. After the emperor finished speaking, he immediately knelt down and saluted, and then slowly retreated with his head bowed.

Just as he lowered his head, a trace of resentment flashed in the depths of Wu Chengsi's eyes.

……

Li Xuan stood solemnly in the hall, as if he didn't know anything about what Wu Chengsi was thinking, but the coldness that flashed from the corner of his mouth hinted that he was plotting against someone again.

At this time, Li Zhi's voice sounded: "King of Nanchang, you discovered this matter, so I ask you, how should we deal with this matter?"

Li Xuan looked up, looked at the emperor and Empress Wu on the imperial couch in front of him, and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, Queen of Heaven, this matter is actually very easy to deal with. You only need to find the King of the East China Sea and kill the King of the East China Sea to find the edict. Conversely, where to find that will, then whoever is the king of the East China Sea."

"Are you sure to find him?" Empress Wu asked with surprise on her face. She opened Li Xuan's memorial, frowned and said, "All this last night was a trick set up by the king of the East China Sea. Let you find him through the envoy of Silla. Taipingfang, and then found the other courtyard of the British Duke in Taipingfang, and finally used it to get the tablet of Emperor Gaozu, there are dozens of important officials involved inside and out, how to investigate this matter?"

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Empress Wu's words because Li Jingye was involved in this matter, Li Xuan's expression remained calm.

He took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Queen of Heaven, this matter seems extremely complicated, it took a long time, and involved many things, but in my eyes, this matter is the trick of the King of the East China Sea. He really exposed himself."

"Oh?" Li Zhi was full of surprise, and asked curiously, "How do you say it?"

Li Xuan straightened up and said confidently: "Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven, I would like to ask you, how many people are involved in this memorial, and how many people will still be in Chang'an after half a month?"

After half a month, Chang'an.

Li Zhimeng turned his head to look at Empress Wu, Empress Wu's expression brightened at the same time, then she nodded and said: "Princess Yin was unwell the day before yesterday, and my concubine has already asked the imperial doctor to see her. She is nearly eighty years old, and her body is weak. Time, within this half month."

Half a month after the hidden crown princess, her body will die, her spirit will stop for five days, and then she will be buried.

It is impossible for the clan to make a big deal of this matter, and it will even be extremely low-key, and very few people are invited.

Under such circumstances, the owners of those names on Li Xuan's memorial, only no more than ten people will be in the capital at that time, and almost none of them will be present.

"So that's it." Li Zhi finally nodded in satisfaction, and then glanced at Empress Wu. Empress Wu bowed her head, Li Zhi turned around and said, "Mingqing will handle this matter together with Nanchang King. Zongzheng Temple, Ministry of Rites, Guanglu Temple , Honglu Temple, Shaofu Temple, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Qianniuwei, Jinwuwei, Dali Temple, Ministry of Punishment, Yongzhou Prefecture, Chang'an Wannian Second County, but if necessary, we will do our best to assist."

"I obey the order." Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan stepped forward to salute at the same time, following the holy order.

Li Zhi pushed Li Xuan's imperial decree on the table forward, and said in a deep voice: "Inform Wu Chengsi of today's matter, as well as everyone in Taipingfang, before leaking a word to the outside world. Hospitable, then his courtyard will be changed to Tianping Temple after the incident, and sacrifices will be held for Uncle Xi and Princess Xi, and Honglu Temple will be responsible."

"The minister leads the decree." Li Xuan bowed his hands again.

Li Zhi looked relieved, waved his hands and said, "Go get busy, Honglu Temple's affairs have been settled. This month, I'm going to see the head of the King of the East China Sea, and then pass it on to the envoys of Silla and Tubo."

"I obey the order." Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan cupped their hands at the same time, and then they retreated slowly.

After Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan withdrew at the same time, Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After years of entanglement, this matter is finally settled."

Empress Wu nodded and said, "If this thorn can be pulled out before the battle, then the defeat in Dafeichuan can be avoided."

Da Feichuan's defeat, if Li Xuan was standing in the hall at this moment, he would be stunned.

He never knew that the Battle of Dafeichuan back then was actually related to the King of the East China Sea.

"Everything is in order, but I don't understand why he has been involved repeatedly. Is it just because he is the grandson of the British Duke and has implicated many generals in the military?" Li Zhi's brows were tightly frowned. With a touch of disgust.

Li Jingye was involved in this matter again, and Li Zhi couldn't help but feel angry rising in his heart.

Empress Wu did not defend Li Jingye this time, and turned over Li Xuan's memorial again.

Between Li Xuan's writing, he could clearly see his surprise that Li Jingye was involved in this matter.

Li Xuan really didn't expect that Li Jingye was under Suzaku's sect, and there was a separate courtyard in Taipingfang.

Empress Wu knew about this. After all, Li Jingye was related to many generals in the army. If those generals came to return to the capital, it would be much more convenient if they could live in Taipingfang, but...

"Win people's hearts." Empress Wu shook her head slightly, and said: "From my concubine's understanding, Duke Si Yingying has been hoping to make achievements for many years, so he has contacted the generals of the four directions, hoping that once he goes to the battlefield, he can command the forces of all parties as soon as possible. Reconstruct the meritorious service of the British Duke."

"Too arrogant, how capable he is, can you and I not understand? Back then, the British public begged in a compromise, never let Li Jingye go to the battlefield, because he was worried that once he set foot on the battlefield, he would be like Zhao Kuo back then. It’s the same, talking about war on paper, defeating Changping, and losing millions of soldiers.” Li Zhi couldn’t help shaking his head, they didn’t let Li Jingye go to the battlefield, they were not suppressing him, but protecting him, but Li Jingye couldn’t see through this. a little.

Empress Wu patted Li Zhi's wrist lightly, and said softly: "At first, the concubine thought that the legacy left by the British government was too heavy, but recent events have proved that the heir to the British government is too easy to be used by others. "

Empress Wu sighed softly. She originally had some expectations for Li Jingye, but now it seems that this expectation is somewhat wishful thinking.

Li Jingye was so easily used by the King of the East China Sea, so when he was on the battlefield, he would be played around with a veteran like Lun Qinling.

With Li Jingye's relationship in the army, if something happened to him, it might endanger the entire army.

At that time, one hundred thousand troops will ruin the northwest because of his fault, then she, Li Zhi, and the whole Tang Dynasty will be passive.

"That's it, just don't let him go to the army." Li Zhi shook his head slightly, then frowned and said, "Is there still something wrong with this matter?"

Empress Wu was taken aback: "Where?"

Li Zhi thought about it and said: "It's not surprising that the traitor is eyeing Li Jingye, but Li Jingye's handling of things is too substandard, as if something is more important to him than these things like?"

"Oh?" Empress Wu was puzzled.

Li Zhi shook his head and said: "There are too few related things now, we have to look again."

"Yes!" Empress Wu nodded slightly, but she had already thoroughly remembered this matter.

……

Li Xuan walked out of Danfeng Gate calmly, and when she turned around, Ming Chongyan had disappeared.

Li Xuan laughed lightly, then got up and led the Jin Wuwei to Honglu Temple.

After explaining to Liu Boying, Li Xuan immediately rushed to Taipingfang. He knew that the King of the East China Sea must be watching here all the time, hoping to see the next reaction of the court.

But he didn't know at all that Li Xuan had already arranged a murderous situation for him.

"My lord." Standing in the shadow of Taipingfang, Zhou Gan cupped his hands directly to Li Xuan: "Everything has been arranged properly."

Li Xuan nodded slightly and said, "If that's the case, let's withdraw."

"Here!" Zhou Gan waved his hand, and a group of Qianniuwei came out of Taipingfang in a file, and then quickly headed for Suzaku Gate.

Li Xuan smiled, looked around, then turned around and got into a black carriage.

In the carriage, there was only one person sitting, Silla's pleading envoy Qin blunt horns.

Seeing Li Xuan's relaxed look, the corners of Qin's blunt-angled eyes suddenly jumped uncontrollably. He looked up at Li Xuan and asked, "Did the lord catch the King of the East China Sea last night?"

"If the traitor is caught, the king will not have the time to ride with the envoy today." Li Xuan smiled easily.

Qin Dujiaoqian immediately said: "Then, is the lord sure that he can catch the king of the East China Sea?"

Li Xuan smiled, waved her hands, and said, "National envoy, why don't you and I make a bet?"

Qin bluntly looked at Li Xuan deeply, and then said: "My lord, please tell me?"

Li Xuan looked at Qin blunt horns, and said indifferently: "If this king can catch the king of the East China Sea this time, pass on the head of the state envoy, and the state envoy will pass on the letter to your king, how about peace?"

Qin Obtuse Angle's expression suddenly became solemn, the king of Nanchang was too confident.

With Nanchang King's character, it is rare to speak so confidently, which may mean that the King of Donghai is really doomed this time.

The carriage moved forward slowly.

I don't know how long it has passed, Qin Obtuse Angle Gan finally nodded, and said in a bitter voice: "Okay!"

Li Xuan smiled, then looked at Qin blunt horn, and said: "Tell the envoy one more news, if this king can get the head of the East Sea King this time, then this king may be able to take a good one in this Western Expedition." Location."

Qin's obtuse angled face suddenly changed.
