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

Chapter 673 I Can't Promise You This Matter

It was cold and cold in spring, and at seven quarters of Yin time, the gate of the palace suddenly opened wide.

Standing in front of the palace gate, Li Xuan who had been waiting under Danfeng's gate all night was suddenly awakened.

Standing at the gate of the palace, Qiu Huan, the internal servant, held his whisk in his hand, cupped his hands to Li Xuan and said, "King of Nanchang, His Majesty has an order, so you can have an audience."

Li Xuan immediately cupped his hands and said, "My minister Nanchang Wang Xuan complies with the order."

"My lord, please!" Qiu Huan took the lead to lead the way, and Li Xuan respectfully followed behind with a solemn expression.

Along the way, Li Xuan didn't ask any more questions, bypassing Hanyuan Hall and Zichen Hall, Li Xuan came directly to Penglai Hall.

In the depths of the Penglai Hall, Li Zhi seemed to have just gotten up, wrapped in a thick blanket, and sat on the throne without washing or changing clothes.

Behind the curtains on both sides, someone was setting the brazier, causing the temperature in the hall to rise rapidly.

The light in the entire hall is relatively dark, which is intentional.

After Li Xuan confessed last time, the light around Li Zhi has always been at a level that is most comfortable for the eyes.

In addition to reading books and memorials, the servants in the hall were even more eager to keep the entire hall in darkness when they were resting.

……

"Your Majesty!" Li Xuan stood in the hall with folded hands, her voice was calm but very soft.

"You don't need to be too polite." Li Zhi waved his hand directly, then looked up at Li Xuan and said, "Just now, the Internal Security Bureau has announced that the head you sent up is indeed of royal blood. Messenger, let them identify whether this is the Eastern Sea King they have seen before, once confirmed, then this matter can be closed."

"I congratulate Your Majesty for eradicating internal troubles." Li Xuan immediately bowed deeply.

After that, Ashina Yandu's head was identified by the Internal Security Bureau as the head of the King of the East China Sea.

Internal Guard Bureau, Internal Guard, they were also confused by Donghai King's methods.

Li Zhi looked at Li Xuan with some surprise, and said, "I called you here to ask what reward you want, why don't you seem so happy looking at you now?"

"Your Majesty!" Li Xuan bowed her head and said softly, "It's all thanks to His Majesty's strategizing to kill the traitor this time, but I always feel it's easier. Although the traitor is not weak, he is just not weak. Moreover, he was not good at fighting, so he was killed by the minister, but the guards around him, who assassinated the minister last time, did not show up this time, the minister..."

"How do you know he didn't show up?" Li Zhi asked rhetorically, stopping Li Xuan from asking.

Could it be that Li Miao appeared last night?
Li Miao, the master of the Wusheng Dao, and the personal guard of the East Sea King, if he doesn't show up, there will always be three points of suspicion on Ashina Yandu.

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "27 Lang, you didn't notice that the real Shiyin didn't show up last night."

"Could it be that Master Shiyin stopped that person?" Li Xuan was suddenly surprised.

Yesterday, after he asked Ming Chongyan to send Li Dan back to his residence, he never saw Ming Chongyan again.

Originally, he thought that Ming Chongyan stayed in the palace, after all, even Li Xuan discovered the secret way at night.

Before that, almost everyone thought that the funeral was over and the matter was over since the king of the East China Sea did not show up.

That's why it happened that Li Xuan "alone" traced the secret path and beheaded the "King of the East China Sea".

He didn't expect that Ming Chongyan not only appeared on the stage, but even intercepted Li Miao secretly, which Li Xuan never noticed.

Li Miao, Ming Chongyan, the strength confrontation between them has reached the level of Yang God. If there is a fierce fight outside Li Xuan's sensing range, then it is normal for Li Xuan not to notice.

"That man looks powerful, but in fact he got it by damaging his own body. That is to say, he is nothing more than a living dead except for the ability of Yang Shen." Li Zhi said lightly. , which surprised Li Xuan even more.

It turned out that Li Miao was able to become a half-step Yang God Realm through sacrifice, or by sacrificing his own body, which is too unbelievable.

No wonder, what Li Xuan saw from Li Miao's Yangshen fragment was that he was sitting cross-legged on the futon on the ground.

"Is it still possible to practice like this?" Li Xuan's blank and subconscious words made Li Zhi laugh suddenly, and even couldn't help but patted the imperial table twice.

Hearing Li Zhi's laughter, Li Xuan immediately stood up in awe, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty forgive me, it's because I'm shallow. I wonder if I can ask, what happened after last night's incident?"

"Realist Shiyin severely injured that person. Although he escaped, he probably won't live long." Li Zhi's face suddenly became cold, and then he said softly: "After last night, all the innocent people who have appeared in Chang'an All the rebels in the way of life were killed, and Tubo's spy in Chang'an, except for the members of the mission, were all eliminated."

The entire Chang'an City was completely clean.

Li Zhi is like this, if he doesn't do anything, he will immediately remove all hidden dangers in the atmosphere of sight.

Li Xuan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, then cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, after this time, we only need to fight steadily, and Tubo will surely be defeated."

"Is Tubo really doomed to defeat?" Li Zhi suddenly asked again.

Li Xuan was slightly taken aback, and said with a calm expression: "Your Majesty, although the battle between Tubo and Tang Dynasty was only in Ganliang, it involved a lot of things inside and outside. Silla and Turks were all used by Tubo to divide us up. Heart of the court, please Your Majesty pay more attention to other countries."

Li Zhi suddenly smiled, wrapped his body in a blanket, then looked at Li Xuan and said, "27 Lang, isn't that your duty at Honglu Temple?"

"Your Majesty's words... are very true." Li Xuan immediately came back to her senses, with a wry smile on her face, and then bowed to salute.

While saluting, Li Xuan had already started to think about how to use the envoys from various countries in Chang'an to explore the secrets behind them.

Especially the Tubo envoy.

Although the envoys from various countries in Chang'an Road are far away from their mother country, they still know more about Tubo's movements than Li Xuan.

What Li Xuan needs to do in the next stage is to figure out Tubo's countermeasures during the mobilization of Datang's troops.

Concentrating slightly, Li Xuan immediately cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do."

"What's the matter?" Li Zhi looked at Li Xuan casually, but with the next glance, his gaze froze.

Because at this moment in Li Xuan's hands, he is holding a jade seal of the crown prince, a fresh and shiny jade seal of the prince.

Li Zhi was also the prince back then, and he had such a prince seal in his hand back then.

"This is... someone here." Li Zhi immediately waved his hand to his servant Li Xuan to take away a jade seal with a button on it.

At this time, Li Xuan hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you can just watch this thing, it's not suitable for you to touch it."

Li Zhigang paused in the air with his outstretched hand, then turned to look at Li Xuan, and asked with a surprised face, "Why is this?"

"Your Majesty, this object has been in the hands of Princess Xi for many years, and was buried with her. The King of the East China Sea began to dig a passage near the cemetery a year ago. After Princess Xi was buried today, he dug through the tomb and buried the things. Take it out." Li Xuan made a slight point.

"It's always been in the hands of Princess Xi... to be buried? What does the Ministry of Internal Affairs do?" Li Zhi slapped the table with a "bang", but immediately, Li Zhi reacted: "That's not right. , Qiu Huan is a meticulous person, if Princess Xi can hide this thing when she is alive, then she is dead..."

Li Zhi understood immediately, and looked at Prince Yin's seal with disgust, then directly waved his hand and said, "Take it out and destroy it immediately."

"Here!" The waiter at the side immediately printed out the Penglai Hall with Prince Yin.

Only then did Li Zhi's expression soften, and he laughed uncontrollably: "It's really stupid, do you really think that if you get this thing, you can win the world?"

Li Xuan stood in the hall, lowered her eyebrows, and said nothing.

Prince Yin, is it really that simple?

This time, the king of the East China Sea wanted to get the crown prince's seal left behind by Li Jiancheng, but last time, he was trying to snatch the crown prince's seal left by Li Hong.

And it is very likely that you have already got a fake one.

Although there were many thoughts in his heart, at this moment, Li Xuan did not speak.

Li Zhi raised his head in surprise, looked at Li Xuan, and asked, "Why is Lang 27 silent?"

"Your Majesty, this person has lived outside since he was a child. He doesn't understand people's hearts and understands the principles of heaven. He entangles a group of people who are dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty, and then hooks up with Silla and Tubo, intending to destroy our Tang Dynasty. Please, let this thief leader be defeated. Ash, be on alert to the world." Li Xuan's eyes revealed a venomous look.

Li Zhi looked at Li Xuan with a solemn expression...

At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty!"

"Come in." Li Zhi waved slightly towards Wang Fulai who was at the door.

Wang Fulai immediately entered the hall, walked to Li Zhi's side, and whispered something in his ear.

"Oh!" Li Zhi raised his brows and eyes slightly, his expression relaxed immediately, then he looked at Li Xuan, and said calmly: "Qianniuwei's report, the envoys of Tubo and Silla identified him, this person is exactly King of the East China Sea."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." Li Xuan immediately bowed deeply.

Sure enough, as he expected, the king of the East China Sea still used a substitute when he met the envoys of Tubo and Silla.

How could King Luo Bin go to meet the Tubo people and Silla people in person?

Whenever his identity appeared on a certain occasion, once the Silla and Tubo people found out his identity, he would immediately be in big trouble.

Those people pinched his weakness, and no one would seriously discuss cooperation with him, so it was perfectly normal for King Luo Bin to use his double again.

"That's all." Li Zhi suddenly lost his interest. He shook his head and said softly: "If this thief didn't destroy Datang secretly, but helped Datang deal with Tubo, then I might reward him for his duty. With his great efforts, it is not impossible for him to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors..."

"Your Majesty is merciful, but..." Li Xuan shook her head lightly, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this thief is too ambitious. This kind of person deserves to die."

Li Zhi looked up in surprise, seeing the sincere expression on Li Xuan's face, he smiled with satisfaction, nodded, and said: "What 27 Lang said is right, this kind of person deserves to die, but after all, he He is a descendant of the emperor's grandfather, so you are responsible for finding a place to bury him."

"Here!" Although Li Xuan didn't understand what was going on, she immediately agreed.

Li Zhi's expression became serious: "However, despite this, after all, you just wiped out an ordinary traitor this time, not the son of Uncle Xi."

"Your brother understands." Li Xuan was very clever, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "The King of the East China Sea is just a false name for a traitor, and has nothing to do with the clan."

"Yeah!" Li Zhi nodded in satisfaction, and then asked easily: "This time, what reward do you want?"

Li Xuan immediately hesitated, but only for a moment, Li Xuan cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I hope that on weekdays, after completing my duties, I can resign half an hour earlier, and then go home to spend time with Sanniang."

Li Zhi looked at Li Xuan in disbelief, and finally shook his head helplessly, and said: "Now I finally know why Lang 27 and Princess Nanchang are so loving and harmonious, but I can't agree to this matter." you."

Li Xuan couldn't help being stunned.
