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

Chapter 669 Be extremely cautious, be extremely careful

In Guide County's lord's mansion, Li Xuan's eyes swept across Wu Chengsi's face with a solemn expression from one side, but his eyes were slightly smug, and then he bowed his head deeply.

Out of the corner of Li Xuan's eyes, King Luo Bin and County Lord Guide passed by at the same time, and his heart was filled with surprise.

When he saw the two of them before, there wasn't any reminder entry on the two of them, but now when the two of them get together, the truth emerges instead.

With his head down, Li Xuan's eyes were full of surprise, he couldn't imagine why Li Ji was involved in this matter.

If it was Li Gang who participated in this matter, and Li Jiancheng's prince Shaobao Li Gang, then Li Xuan might agree, but why Li Ji?

When the Xuanwu Gate changed, one member of Li Ji was demoted, served several times under Emperor Taizong's command, and then he was in charge of one side alone. How could such a person who likes to be wise and protect himself the most get involved in such an incident of seizing the heir? Help Li Jiancheng...

Wait, what if Li Ji is not helping Li Jiancheng, but Emperor Taizu Gao.

Think about it, Li Ji's original surname was Xu, and Emperor Gaozu gave him the surname Li. Now he is called Li Shiji. Later, Emperor Taizong ascended the throne to avoid taboos, so he lost the word Shi.

If it is said that Emperor Gaozu wanted to keep Li Jiancheng's lineage, maybe it can be said.

Even if it is Emperor Taizong, it may not be unreasonable.

Li Xuan shook her head, the things involved are too complicated.

Reining in her thoughts, Li Xuan sneered in her heart as she listened to the servants in the palace read out the imperial decree.

Leaving aside the matter of Li Ji and the King of the East China Sea, Wu Chengsi, you are in serious trouble.

How dare you bring the King of the East China Sea to the funeral of Princess Yin.

Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan were extremely defensive, but in the end they failed to defend against Wu Chengsi.

While his eyes flickered, Li Xuan had already started to think about how to dig a hole for Wu Chengsi.

……

"... In the third year of Shangyuan, he died in Changle Gate, Spring and Autumn 78. The emperor's love is mourned, there are gallons in the ceremony, and funerals must be used, and the order is generous... The ancient tunnel of Zhouyuan, the barren city of Han. Looking east to his son , looking west at her husband. The wind sings and arches the wood, and the bird thinks about the flatness. A tragic song is played, and weeping and weeping."

The servant's voice fell, and all the people present, the two daughters of Concubine Zheng, the three sons-in-law, the two grandchildren, the nephew, the nephew, the sister-in-law, as well as a group of old ministers, new ministers, and a group of people, all knelt down on the ground and shouted in unison: " My emperor Long En, long live long live Your Majesty!"

"Everyone, please stand up." The servant stretched out his hand and handed the imperial decree to the hand of Guide County Lord, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has an order, the imperial decree should be placed in the coffin of Princess Xi, so that she can rest in peace forever."

County Lord Guide was a little surprised when he heard this, but he still said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Queen of Heaven!"

The matter of concealing the crown prince is an unspeakable old thing in the Tang Dynasty after all. Although the emperor and the empress buried Concubine Zheng with the ceremony of a crown prince, it is not as reassuring as summarizing her life in the imperial decree.

After the Lord Guide came to the coffin with the servants, the Lord Guide stopped as soon as he entered. She looked at the two people standing in front of the coffin with a face full of surprise, and asked: "Brother Nanchang, the world Master Yin, why are you here?"

The county lord Guide couldn't help but look back. If she remembered correctly, King Nanchang and Master Shiyin were standing behind the crowd just now, why did they suddenly come here.

Of course, there were no Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan behind the crowd. The two of them had already sensed the abnormality and sneaked silently behind the coffin and in front of the coffin.

Ming Chongyan turned his head and looked at Li Xuan, who was silent, but stared at Li Xuan, the servant in the palace, and then looked at the Guide County Lord in front of him, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, we are following the order of His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, Responsible for the safety of Princess Xi's funeral, this imperial decree came so suddenly, I dare not question the intentions of His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, but I dare not violate the previous decree of His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, so I can only watch this imperial decree put in here. into the coffin."

As he said that, Ming Chongyan's eyes fell on the servant.

He and Li Xuan also suspected that this servant was strange, but this person was brought by Wu Chengsi from the palace, so they couldn't question it at all.

Moreover, if there is no accident, many contents of this imperial decree will be used on the epitaph of Princess Yin.

At this moment, Wu Chengsi suddenly lifted the curtain, and with Song Zhiwen, Yang Jiong and Luo Binwang walked in, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Li Xuan glanced at King Luo Bin, shook her head slightly with a calm face, and said, "Please put in the imperial edict."

Li Xuan's cold eyes fell on the servant, when an entry suddenly popped up.

[Thousand-faced Buddha, Ashina Yandu, director of the Wusheng Sect, son of the Turkic Khan Ashina Ashuna, son of Princess Yongning, grandson of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, and the great consummation of the Xuantai Realm]

Thousand-faced Buddha, another Thousand-faced Buddha.

Li Xuan's expression became more and more indifferent. If he remembered correctly, Qiu Shenji once said that he had met and killed Thousand Faced Buddha more than once.

But later, the Thousand-faced Buddha always reappeared again and again.

Originally, Li Xuan thought that it was because of the substitute of the Thousand-faced Buddha, but now it seems that the former Thousand-faced Buddha is the substitute.

Even before, all the Thousand Faced Buddhas that Qiu Shenji met were substitutes for this one.

Ashina Yandu, the son of Princess Yongning.

If Li Xuan remembers correctly, Princess Yongning married Turkic during the reign of Wude, and there is no record in the clan genealogy that Princess Yongning is the daughter of Prince Yin Li Jiancheng...

Or, it was deliberately deleted.

There is only one person who has the ability and motivation to do this.

Emperor Taizong.

Li Xuan's breathing was heavy. The Crown Princess Yin had five daughters back then, but after checking the genealogy, there were only four. If this one is added, it is finally complete.

Li Xuan was a little annoyed, this time the funeral of Concubine Yin had hooked up too many people who had passed by.

Perhaps all this is exactly what the King of the East China Sea wants to see.

If the East China Sea King Party is not completely uprooted this time, then the damage that the East China Sea King can cause in the future is absolutely beyond anyone's imagination.

……

The servant carefully put the imperial decree into the coffin, and his movements were almost cautious, because Li Xuan, Ming Chongyan, and even countless eyes in the dark were quietly staring at him, as if he If your finger touches any place that shouldn't be touched, there will be a fierce murderous intent immediately.

Finally, the servant's hand was completely withdrawn from the coffin, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

Before he knew it, he was already dripping with sweat.

Wu Chengsi finally noticed something strange, he smiled very reluctantly, and said: "I brought a few scholars here today, originally I wanted to write some sacrificial rites for Princess Xi..."

"I don't know if it's written well. If it's written well, we can burn it on the spot now." Li Xuan interrupted Wu Chengsi directly, with a slight indifference on his face.

Ming Chongyan on the side also looked up at Wu Chengsi. Everything was expected today, but Wu Chengsi brought so many people here at once, which directly disrupted the deployment of Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan. All three of them were on the monitoring list of the internal guards, and he brought them all, really ignorant and fearless.

What kind of sacrificial ceremony is going to be made now, I really don't know how to live or die.

"It's better to recite and burn the sacrificial rites in front of the mausoleum." Song Zhiwen on the side was slightly dissatisfied.

Li Xuan spoke with a firm attitude, and said, "Whoever's sacrificial oration is going to be recited in front of the mausoleum, you can tell this king now."

Li Xuan put her hands forward, with a calm and polite smirk on her face.

Song Zhiwen was about to ask something, but Yang Jiong immediately pulled him back, and said to Li Xuan, "My lord said to burn it here, so let's burn it here."

After finishing speaking, Yang Jiong took the written sacrificial oration out of his arms first, and handed it to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then directly put it into the brazier in front of the coffin without even looking at it.

The expressions of Song Zhiwen and Wu Chengsi changed immediately, at this time, Li Xuan had already reached out his hand again.

Song Zhiwen clenched his fists immediately, but at this moment, a hand was placed on his wrist, and this person was obviously Wu Chengsi.

At this moment, how could Wu Chengsi not understand the change in the attitudes of Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan.

It's just that at the beginning, because Wu Chengsi had just come from the emperor Empress Wu, he seemed a little conceited and ignored the road under his feet.

Ignored that Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan had the same expressions.

Because from the very beginning, Wu Chengsi didn't know the details of what Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan were doing now.

He didn't even know that Luo Binwang, Song Zhiwen and Yang Jiong were all on Qianniuwei's monitoring list.

But now, Wu Chengsi finally calmed down.

Whether it's Li Xuan or Ming Chongyan, neither of them are the kind of people who just stare blankly and don't give others face. The current attitude of the two of them obviously has something to do with it.

Moreover, the relationship between the two people is not friendly, but now they are turning towards Wu Chengsi at the same time.

The king of the East China Sea, Prince Yin, Gaozu's edict, all the previous things, all returned to Wu Chengsi's mind in an instant, and he immediately grabbed Song Zhiwen.

Song Zhiwen looked back at Wu Chengsi, saw his serious face, and said helplessly, "Okay!"

After burning the sacrificial oration handed over by Song Zhiwen, Li Xuan calmly looked at King Luo Bin on one side.

King Luo Bin raised his head slightly, with a gentle smile on his face, at this time Li Xuan also showed a gentle smile on his face.

For a moment, the smiles on their faces were extremely similar.

Looking at Li Xuan's firm gaze, King Luo Bin handed over his sacrificial oration directly from his sleeve without any hesitation.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and without looking at what King Luo Bin wrote, he directly burned the sacrificial text to ashes.

"Three please!" Li Xuan stretched out his hand and invited the others out of the coffin.

At this time, Ming Chongyan stepped forward, looked at Li Xuan, and asked in a low voice: "The king of Nanchang is worried that the three of them will make trouble during the sacrificial oration."

Li Xuan looked at Ming Chongyan calmly: "Really, on our watch list, so far, only three of them have appeared, right?"

"Yes!" Ming Chongyan's expression turned cold immediately.

Li Xuan smiled slightly, and said: "The real person, please keep an eye on them. Xiao Wang doesn't want to see any accidents when Xiang Wang returns to the palace."

Ming Chongyan's face suddenly became gloomy. He is still in charge of the writing of Xiangwang, and occasionally goes to Xiangwang's mansion to teach Li Dan something on weekdays.

There may not be a trace of delusion in his heart.

Therefore, no one can hurt Li Dan.
