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

Chapter 697 Li Xian
"The Queen of Heaven ordered that the king of England be imprudent and be punished for half a month. During this period, he needs to practice bowing and horses and exercise his muscles and bones. If he fails, he will never leave the mansion. He ordered the king of Nanchang to teach the king of England. If he fails to succeed, he will be dismissed from office and suspended forever. Not hired." The servant waved his whisk, announced the imperial decree, and immediately turned and left.

Li Xuan was still smiling at Li Xian's excitement at first, but immediately afterward, the matter was implicated in himself, and his face was full of astonishment.

After the servant left, Li Xuan turned her head, looked at Li Xian anxiously and angrily, gritted her teeth and said, "Your Highness, let's start now."

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, don't worry, the queen mother is just joking." Li Xian hurried forward and bowed directly to Li Xuan.

He knew that his Uncle Wang was quite capable and resourceful.

In the past, it was just because these things had nothing to do with him, so he didn't care about them, but now, the queen gave him a single word, and directly forced him to the base of the wall.

Li Xian immediately understood that he himself will suffer in the future.

Li Xuan took two steps back, looked at Li Xian angrily, and said, "Even if the Queen of Heaven is joking, there is no room for it under the Holy Order. This time, I must train you well."

Empress Wu was too ruthless this time, and Li Xuan couldn't control Li Xian's affairs, but Li Xuan couldn't accept that he should be dismissed from office and suspended, and never hired.

So Li Xuan can only complete the Queen's order with all her strength.

Youwei Zhonglang at the side walked over to Dugushan with a smile, cupped his hands to Li Xuan and said, "Since the queen has an order, my lord, your highness will be entrusted to you, and I will take my leave first."

Li Xuan's expression suddenly turned solemn, and then he returned the salute to Dugushan, saying: "Don't worry, Zhonglang, I will definitely urge His Highness to succeed in the matter of bowing horses within half a month, but in addition, the matter of weapons and the art of war is still up to you." General Zhonglang, please give more advice to Your Highness."

Having said that, Li Xuan turned to look at Li Xian, and winked directly. Although Li Xian was a little helpless, he still stepped forward and said: "These days, please trouble my cousin. When the confinement period expires, Xian will definitely come to thank you .”

"Don't dare, if the lord and His Highness need it, please inform the general at any time, and the general will come immediately." Dugushan bowed his hands heavily to Li Xuan and Li Xian, then said goodbye and left.

After leaving the mansion, Dugushan's face was full of surprise.

We all know that the relationship between the King of Nanchang and the King of England is friendly, but it is amazing that the relationship is so good.

No wonder the Queen of Heaven asked the King of Nanchang to teach the King of England.

It seems that apart from Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven and the Prince, perhaps only the King of Nanchang can make the King of England so obedient.

……

King's Mansion, within the school grounds.

Li Xuan looked at the horses brought over by the front, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty ordered Dugu Zhonglang to teach His Highness in the future, maybe after arriving in Lintao, he will order Dugu Zhonglang to protect His Highness in the future. If His Highness is fine , On weekdays, send some seasonal melons and fruits there, and it will be more convenient when we come to Lintao in the future."

"Uncle Wang, don't worry, Xian has already seen it, but he didn't know what to do. Now that the prince is leading the way, everything will be much more convenient." Li Xian laughed twice.

He has never been stupid. Who is the son of Empress Wu and Li Zhi?

It's just that his status is too special to blatantly win over the generals in the army. Now that Li Xuan is the buffer in the middle, things will be much more convenient.

Li Xuan turned around and looked at Li Xian with a serious expression: "I don't care about other things for the time being, but the matter of bowing the horse was personally confessed by the Queen of Heaven. The matter of Honglu Shaoqing, so, His Royal Highness, offended."

Immediately, Li Xian's complexion couldn't help changing slightly, and then he cupped his hands to Li Xuan embarrassingly and said: "Uncle Wang, Saburo can't get on that kind of fierce horse, and he will faint when he gets on that kind of horse, please let Sanlang go!"

"Get dizzy on the horse? Would you like Uncle Wang to give you some medicine?" Li Xuan looked at Li Xian with a sneer on his face.

Li Xian immediately touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, and then said cautiously: "Uncle Wang, why don't you give the horse some medicine?"

"You will die sooner or later." Li Xuan gave Li Xian an angry look, then gathered her thoughts and began to think of a solution.

Of course Li Xian can ride a horse, but being able to ride a horse and being good at bowing horses are two different things. The horses that Li Xian shows in his house are all tame and castrated docile horses. This kind of horses can be ridden normally, but if they go to the battlefield, This kind of horse will only turn around and run away, and it is useless at all.

Li Xian didn't really dislike riding horses, he just couldn't stand the pain of training horses, so he found an excuse to escape.

And if he really wanted to practice it, it wasn't that easy.

Suddenly, Li Xuan's brows lit up, as if thinking of something, she said directly to Li Xian, "Let's go, go to the study."

"Okay!" Although Li Xian didn't know what Li Xuan wanted to do, he still took him to the study.

……

Li Xuan drew a picture with only the horse's head and body. The middle was fixed firmly on the ground, and the front and rear ends were connected to the ground with two long ropes.

"These two long ropes, let the supervisor use the strongest rope to make." Li Xuan pushed the drawing in front of Li Xian.

"What is this?" Li Xian was stunned, he couldn't understand the things Li Xuan brought out.

"You will know tomorrow." Li Xuan stretched her waist long and said, "You send people to the general prison, let them do it overnight, and send it over tomorrow."

"Okay." Li Xian didn't ask any more questions. Although this fake horse looks huge, it doesn't take much effort to build.

Li Xian came forward, and the person who will be the prisoner will be fixed soon.

Seeing that Li Xian was going to ask his subordinates to deliver things like this, Li Xuan couldn't help but interjected: "Have someone prepare a reward of [-] guan, and give it to the craftsmen who will be in charge, otherwise they may be killed tonight." It’s too hard to finish it overnight and continue to be on duty tomorrow.”

"Listen to Uncle Wang, don't embarrass these hardworking people." Li Xian made arrangements without hesitation.

Li Xuan picked up the hot tea on the table, took a deep sip, and then said: "There is something that I forgot to tell Your Highness, yesterday, Honglu Temple has reached an alliance agreement with the Wa Kingdom of Silla. Apart from palace matters, Silla and Wa will send the two princesses to Chang'an."

"Princess?" Li Xian was taken aback for a moment, and then said sharply: "Is it sent to the East Palace?"

"It depends on whether His Royal Highness wants to stay or not. If His Royal Highness doesn't want to stay, then you can follow." Li Xuan raised her head and looked at Li Xian seriously.

Li Xian frowned slightly, as if a little reluctant.

"Your Majesty and Queen of Heaven, there are only you three princes. After May this year, King Xiang should be preparing for a big wedding. Even if it is soon, the engagement in May must be married in August, but the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is absolutely inevitable It won't be so smooth, and the time for Xiang Wang's wedding may be later."

Li Xuan sighed softly, and said: "It is impossible for an unmarried prince to accept the princess of Silla and Wa as his concubine, and it is absolutely impossible for our dynasty to allow the princess of Silla and Wa to be his concubine. Therefore, this In the end, things can only fall on your head."

"I don't want it." Li Xian immediately calmed down, looked at Li Xuan and said, "Uncle Wang, we should leave this matter to Brother Huang."

Li Xuan lowered her head slightly, and said softly: "That's fine, but those two will suffer."

"This is impossible." Li Xian shook his head calmly, and said softly, "Perhaps when will Brother Huang figure it out?"

Li Xian also didn't understand, what was going on with Li Xian, shouldn't women be the best gift from God?
"By the way, Uncle Wang, what's going on with today's incident?" Li Xian's expression suddenly became serious.

He didn't believe that Li Xuan really went to the court to look for him, and just ran into those Western Turkic people by chance.

"Actually, in the past few months, the caravans from the west have been under the surveillance of Honglu Temple and the secret guards. I didn't care at all. I originally thought that I would wait for you to come back from the ball court before mentioning Lintao and Gong. It's a woman's business, but someone from Honglu Temple suddenly reported that a Western Turkic business brigade under surveillance suddenly appeared in the ball court, and it was still under your nose. You said, how can I continue to sit still. "

East and West Turks have always been very troublesome.

The distance between East Turkic and Tubo is the farthest, and they have already begun to flirt. The problem of Western Turkic is even deeper. This time, they may act together with the Tubo army.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Xuan went, he saw a Tubo man dressed as a Western Turk, under Li Xian's nose, ready to communicate with others.

Of course, most of the Western Turkic merchants were Turkic, and only a few were Tubo.

But they are the only ones in the entire caravan who know the secret order.

The whispers that he thought were extremely low were overheard by Li Xuan.

"If Uncle Wang is patient enough, will there be a chance to dig out the eyeliner of the Tubo people?" Li Xian couldn't help asking.

"Is the eyeliner of the Tubo people important, or your life?" Li Xuan retorted directly, and then said helplessly: "Although the main purpose of those people is to steal data from the Tang Dynasty, as long as they kill you, they will be killed immediately." If they can achieve the same goal of confusing Datang, why don't they do it?"

Li Xian smiled embarrassingly, and said, "Then I would like to thank Uncle Wang."

"Actually, it's not that simple." Li Xuan shook her head with a serious face, and said, "Tuban people are always cautious in their actions. If they really want to contact, they must be very cautious. When I was looking for you, the news was just delivered to my hands."

"What Uncle Wang means is that someone deliberately sent the news to Uncle Wang." Li Xian suddenly understood.

Li Xuan nodded softly and said: "The news has already been sent to me, so the secret person may also be sent to other people, no matter what, the government must be alarmed, so in order to avoid the dog jumping over the wall, I had to act first .”

At this time, Li Xian really realized the danger in the middle.

Others would not be as concerned about his safety as Li Xuan.

"Since that person didn't go to see the Tubo people yesterday, I'm afraid he won't go today. The secret guards have been investigating very closely recently. If that person really knows something, he will definitely not show up." Li Xuan shook his head, Then he looked at Li Xian and said, "Anyway, it's not nothing, the rest depends on what Shiyin can find out, right?"

This matter will definitely fall into Ming Chongyan's hands in the end, but it's hard to say what can be found out in the end.

Li Xian raised his head suddenly and asked, "Uncle Wang, what about that secret letter?"

Li Xuan shook her head, and said softly: "Do you really think that if the letter fell into the hands of the Ministry of War and secret guards, that person would not be able to get it?"

Li Xian was stunned.
