Li Xuan sat alone behind the desk, looking attentively at "Laozi" which was filled with notes on his hand.
There is a cup of fragrant tea on the other side, and the heat is wafting away.
The afternoon sunlight shines through the lattice windows on the smooth and clean floor tiles of the palace, making it look strange and strange.
Suddenly, rapid footsteps sounded outside the door.
A young eunuch in green pushed the door open, walked forward quickly, handed a piece of paper on the desk in front of Li Xuan, and then bowed and exited.
Li Xuan put down the Taoist scripture in her hand, glanced at the contents on the paper, and her expression became serious.
It has been three generations since the Tang Dynasty, and both civil and martial arts have reached their peak.
Whether it was the late prince Li Hong or King Yong Li Xian, they could not get involved in military matters, but in terms of civil affairs, they tried their best to network with a large number of literati.
In Li Xian's calligraphy library, there are a large number of scholars who compile and edit ancient books for him.
There were two names on the note in front of Li Xuan, one was Ai Chen and the other was Hu Fei.
The former is a doctor of literature in the palace, and the latter is a low-level recorder in the palace.
Ai Chen, who was born in a library and has a doctorate in writing, was responsible for helping King Yong Li Xian draft documents and organize letters.
It is impossible for a low-level recorder to know information that is considered extremely secretive in the palace, but a doctor of letters has many opportunities to come across information that others do not know.
Moreover, Ai Chen is very familiar with many high-level people in the palace, and even has a very good relationship with some of them.
Li Xian is in trouble. There is something wrong with the doctors in his library. I am afraid that before he becomes the prince, these people under him will have to be strictly purged.
The Queen will not miss such an opportunity.
Li Xuan is now sitting in Prince Yong's Mansion, serving as a supervisor under the orders of the Queen of Heaven.
The person really responsible for the operation was Dai Xing, the young minister of Dali Temple.
The person who took charge of planning everything in this matter was Shi Huangfu Gongyi, the palace chief.
At this point, it is related to Li Xian's position as crown prince and Huangfu Zhengyi's future.
One step forward and Huangfu Zhengyi will be Tongping Zhangshi, the prime minister; one step back, he will be demoted to a marginal state and county, serve as the governor of a state, and then waste his time.
However, this matter will not involve King Yong Li Xian, because the Queen of Heaven has appreciated his filial piety, and his responsibility has been completely removed from this case.
If this thing is done well, it is Huangfu's contribution to justice; if it is done poorly, it is all his responsibility.
Today, the entire Prince Yong's Mansion has long been secretly and closely monitored by the palace secret guards.
There is no hint of this from the surface. Everyone in the palace is following their own pace and habits.
At this time, several medical officers from the palace were suddenly and quietly summoned.
Only a very few people know this.
Except for the urgent matters, everything else was kept as secretive as possible, and there was no sign of deliberately leaking the news.
But in this case, Ai Chen still noticed something unusual.
No one knows how he got the information that the palace had found the key medicinal ingredient, and then Hu Fei went out to record the affairs of the palace.
However, they have no idea that everything is happening under the eyes of others.
Especially Hu Fei, who had been closely watched from the moment he left the palace.
The coffin shop in Nanshi, the ordinary small house in Shandefang...
Following the homing pigeon in mid-air, the message finally arrived at Guanghan Temple outside the south gate.
The opponent's central leader is actually hiding in Guanghan Temple outside the south gate.
Li Xuan looked at the information in her hand and frowned slightly.
Guanghan Temple is not a big temple, and the incense is not particularly strong, but the people coming and going are the female relatives of some wealthy families.
It's just wealth and wealth, and it has nothing to do with the dignitaries of the current dynasty.
"It seems that there are people behind this." Li Xuan looked at Zuo Qianniu and Zhou Qian in front of him, and asked in a deep voice: "Have the people from Dali Temple been dispatched?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Dai Shaoqing led the experts from Dali Temple to surround Guanghan Temple within a three-mile radius. At the same time, he mobilized a small part of the main force of the right guard to surround everything within a ten-mile radius to ensure that not a single bird can fly out. "My lord, should we go take a look?" Zhou Qian looked ready to make a move.
Zhou Qian was ordered by the Queen of Heaven to lead a team of Qianniu guards to protect Li Xuan and monitor the execution of the entire case.
"Don't worry, Dai Shaoqing is doing his duty. We have to do our own thing. Qianniuwei has his own work to do." Li Xuan stretched out her hand, grabbed the bamboo fan placed on the table, and sighed. Body: "But since you can't wait any longer, it's time for us to get busy. Let's go to Shandefang."
Li Xuan's goal this time turned out to be Shandefang.
Standing at the gate of Shandefang, Zhou Qian commanded his Qianniu Guards to start taking over the entire gate, while leading his men to head towards the small courtyard where the news had been relayed.
At this time, in the small courtyard, there were still many Dali Temple officials conducting detailed investigations and searching for evidence.
Three bodies covered with white cloths lay on the ground.
The people from Dali Temple have captured all the people on the information transmission path along the way.
Anyone who tried to resist was killed.
Zhou Qian stood in the small courtyard, lifted up the white cloth, and carefully observed the body.
Li Xuan had been standing aside, not paying attention to Zhou Qian's investigation. Instead, she just stood in the small courtyard, raising her head and looking at the surrounding walls, as if admiring the blue bricks on the walls.
The sky soon turned completely dark. Zhou Qian patted the wrench and walked to Li Xuan's side: "Prince Qi, these people are all good players. They have been trained for many years. Their mouths have calluses, their skin is smoother, and they are shorter in stature. The facial bones are narrow, the skin color is dark, the nasal bones are low, the nose is well developed, and the outline is clear. He is most likely from the southeast."
Zhou Qian seems to be just an ordinary Qianniu guard, but his abilities are by no means simple.
"Yes, many daily necessities in the entire courtyard can prove this." Li Xuan sighed softly, turned around and looked at Zhou Qian: "Why do you think some people want to rebel with all their heart? Woolen cloth?"
rebel?
Zhou Qian's heart skipped a beat and he lowered his head slightly: "Your Majesty, is there anything you have done to neglect me?"
"It's none of your business, it's just that the other party's arrangement was too sophisticated and took advantage of people's habitual weaknesses." Li Xuan stood up and walked out of the door step by step.
Zhou Qian led his men to follow quickly. Li Xuan did not slow down and got on the horse directly at the door.
With a gentle slap on the horse, Li Xuan arrived under the square gate a moment later.
"Tell the mayor to close the gate early tonight. If the mayor shirks at all, he will be killed directly... In addition, I went to the street and mobilized two teams of Jinwu guards, bringing armor, shields and crossbows. There is a tough battle to be fought."
"I'll take your orders." Zhou Qian rode away excitedly.
This group of people followed Li Xuan for the purpose of making meritorious deeds.
They are not afraid that their opponents are too strong, they are just afraid that their opponents are not strong enough.
There are many rumors about the Nanchang County Prince among Zuo Qianniu Guard these days, most of which focus on his scheming.
As an enemy, such an opponent is indeed the most annoying, but as a comrade, it is very reassuring.
Especially those who have come off the battlefield understand the value of such comrades even more.
