"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is the Xianling Mausoleum of Emperor Gaozu or the Zhaoling Mausoleum of Emperor Taizong, they are all located in the Guanzhong area. Even the Qianling Mausoleum prepared by the current saint for himself and Queen Wu Zetian is also located in Liangshan, Guanzhong."
Yu Ze stood aside and said quietly: "The prince died of illness suddenly, so naturally there is no mausoleum for him. Now that the saint is still alive, it is naturally impossible for his son to be buried in the Qianling Mausoleum first. What's more, the Qianling Mausoleum has not been completed yet. So he can only be buried with Zhaoling. There are a large number of people in Chang'an who are busy with this matter, but now, who would have thought that the Queen of Heaven would actually want to bury the prince directly in Jingshan, north of Luoyang City."
Li Xuan glanced at the map in front of her and pointed directly at the location of Jingshan.
“Jingshan is located between Yiluo River and Wan’an Mountain, and is lush with pines and cypresses.
Cao Zhi has a poem: "Back to Yique, cross the ditch, pass through the valley, and view the mountains." The sun is tilting to the west, and the carriages and horses are in trouble. "Er is a tax driver in Henggao, a horse in Zhitian, a Rongyu in Yanglin, and a stream in Luochuan."
This place is connected to Luoyang, Xi'an and Dengfeng, with convenient transportation. "
After a slight pause, Li Xuan said solemnly: "Maybe this is the reason why the Queen wants to bury the prince in Luoyang."
"This also means that the Queen will stay in Luoyang for a long time in the future, including Your Majesty." Yu Ze said quietly.
"We have discussed it a long time ago. Luoyang has convenient transportation and water supply is much more convenient than Chang'an." Li Xuan looked at the note in his hand with an ugly face, and couldn't help but shake his head: "It's just that at this time, this Aren’t you adding fuel to the fire?”
The note was excerpted from a text written by the Queen to Chang'an, which stated the importance of light corvee and allowing the people to recuperate. Transporting the prince's body to Guanzhong and building an imperial mausoleum would definitely waste a lot of time on the people and money. After the Queen and the Emperor, After discussion, they decided to choose the nearest mausoleum for the prince in Jingshan.
"Have all the kings already known this news?" Li Xuan looked at Yu Ze with an ugly face.
"We, Prince Peng, have nothing to do with the Secretariat, but even we have already obtained this document. Do you think it is possible that the kings will not get it?" Yu Ze squinted, looking at Li Xuan with eyes full of contempt. .
Prince Peng's Palace has declined, but this is not the case for other palaces.
Over the years, the kings of the Zong family have recommended countless talented people to the imperial court. Now they are serving in various key departments, so the transmission of information is naturally much more convenient.
Li Xuan frowned and stood there without saying a word.
"Is the young prince still worried about the kings of the clan?" Yu Ze said coldly: "There is nothing to worry about. The kings of the clan have always been strangers to me, the Prince of Nanchang, so why bother about their life and death."
After Prince Peng Li Yuanze passed away, only orphans and widows were left in Prince Peng's Mansion. Although the kings of the clan did not express their opinions, they openly and secretly rejected Prince Peng's Mansion.
Otherwise, Li Xuan, who was still a child at that time, would not have been directly named the King of Nanchang County, but should have waited until he grew up to succeed King Peng.
It was Emperor Li Zhi who couldn't stand it at first, so he directly made Li Xuan the king of Nanchang.
Even Li Zhi couldn't stand it, which shows how much the clan kings had gone too far.
"I'm not worried about the kings of the clan, I'm worried about Your Majesty, and at the same time, we're worried about ourselves." Li Xuan glanced at Yu Ze lightly.
Yu Ze immediately paused, but then said: "My lord, even if you have any ideas, you can't do it too openly. It's best not to do anything while the clan kings are in Luoyang." Go meet them, and don’t forget that the Queen of Heaven is still watching from above!”
"Are we just going to let them die?" Li Xuan had some things that he couldn't say to Yu Ze.
Just as he was doing many things now for the purpose of revitalizing the palace, he could not tell anyone about the fact that Queen Wu Zhao would become emperor in the future.
And even if you say it, no one will believe it.
"Your Majesty, don't underestimate these people. They are the smartest people in the world. The Saint and the Queen have been ruling Chao Gang for more than 20 years. Those who really can't see the current situation will be dead long ago." Yu Ze shook his head coldly. , in his opinion, Li Xuan is completely unfounded.
"It's not just that." Li Xuan shook her head slightly and said softly: "The current situation is that there are people from behind who are putting them on fire, and there are people in front who are pulling them to the edge of the knife."
"Is it the Queen?" Yu Ze suddenly understood Li Xuan's worry: "If this is the case, it will be troublesome."
"It is precisely because of the presence of the clan kings that the words and deeds of the Nanchang Prince's Palace will be more conspicuous, and they will be more valued by the queen. Without the clan kings, or in other words, all the clan kings have been defeated, our value will also be reduced. It’s a big drop, so we need them to jump up but we can’t let them jump too high.”
Li Xuan's faint voice penetrated Yu Ze's ears, and he understood immediately.
The value of the Nanchang Palace lies in standing on the opposite side of the clan. Without the clan, they would be worthless.
Yu Ze frowned and said: "The kings will enter the capital tomorrow morning. Maybe Luoyang will usher in a huge trend immediately. Anyone who is on the wrong team in this matter will be shattered to pieces immediately. , the Queen of Heaven is staring at you again, Your Majesty, we can’t move, at least we can’t move openly.”
"No, you are wrong. We still have to move. At least we have to give some advice. If we do nothing, it will make people feel abnormal." Li Xuan turned sideways and looked in the direction of the palace, shook her head, and looked at He said expressionlessly: "Even if it's for the prince."
"That's right!" Yu Ze clapped his hands fiercely and kept nodding: "It's just for the prince, for your majesty!"
In order to revitalize the Nanchang Palace, they can lean towards the Queen of Heaven, but the basic bottom line must be observed. After all, the emperor is still there.
"Today, a murder case occurred in Luoyang Tiangong Temple." Li Xuan told the murder case of a group of mage who happened in Tiangong Temple in detail, and finally said: "The Queen of Heaven ordered me to investigate with Dai Xing, the young minister of Dali Temple. To investigate the murder case, there is no need to go to greet all the uncles and brothers tomorrow. The Queen of Heaven’s warning has arrived. All we can do is to go up and persuade you with one or two words when the opportunity comes in the future. But as long as I want to come, I want to rely on It’s difficult to convince those people with just one or two sentences.”
Li Xuan didn't want to see the people of the Li Clan Prince die too quickly, and he didn't want to see them fall too quickly, but he didn't have a good idea on how to save them.
Although Li Xuan was quite intelligent, he had insufficient experience and could not think of any good ideas for a while.
"The best way to solve the case is to solve the case. The case of the burning and murder of a group of mages, and the case of the Luoyang County captain's murder of a family. It is best to solve both cases in a short time. The best way is to remove the money from the bottom of the cauldron.
The prince being poisoned is a nonsense story, the matter of the British princess is a family matter, the case of a group of mages being burned and murdered, and the case of the Luoyang County captain's murder..."
"The case of the murder of a group of mages can still be investigated. I think it is better to forget the case of Luoyang County Lieutenant's murder. The Secret Guard, Internal Guard, Baiqisi, Qianniu Guard, and Dali Temple are all watching this case. If we take any action, it will be too much. It’s glaring, and we don’t know where the people from the Tianyin Sect are, unless…unless they bump into them themselves.”
Li Xuan raised her head slightly and looked at the top of Yu Ze's head.
[Yu Ze, a native of Daogushi, Henan, was a Jinshi in the sixth year of Yonghui, and was dismissed from office in the third year of Xianqing]
Li Xuan knew the origin of Yu Ze. It was said that he had offended the powerful people in the court, so he was dismissed from office, and finally worked as an aide in Prince Peng's Mansion.
If you want to solve the case of Luoyang County Captain’s family murder, you can only rely on the power of this entry!
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. The stronger your ability is, the more attention the palace will pay to it." Yu Ze's views are somewhat different from Li Xuan's.
This is not surprising, because almost everyone at that time, including Yu Ze, only thought that Queen Wu was only in control of the government and the government. No one thought that she would directly proclaim herself emperor in the future - maybe she is now herself I didn’t expect it to get that far, but who knows!
"You are right, I am still young."
Li Xuan nodded slowly, and he was also reflecting on his actions during this period.
Yu Ze was right to mention that there are some things that can be done, some things that cannot be done, and some things that must be done.
"By the way, the Queen of Heaven asked me to write a memorial about the land embezzlement by local powerful people. In recent years, I have seen many powerful people bullying good families. I have stopped everything I can, and I have collected writings for those I can't. Now I would like you to write these things into a memorial and submit it."
"This is a matter within the scope of my subordinates." Yu Ze cupped his hands with a serious look on his face, then took out some paper and prepared to write a memorial.
Under the light, Li Xuan's eyes flickered uncertainly: The prince is buried in Luoyang, how will the queen convince the people of the world?
