"What, Dai Xing is dead? Dai Xing, the young minister of Dali Temple, is dead?"
Li Xuan's voice was so loud that even Sijin and Ruyu who were standing outside the house heard it very clearly.
In the study, Li Xuan waved her hand to Li Mo: "Go and find out more about the situation!"
"Here!" Li Mo cupped his hands, then turned and left.
Sitting opposite Li Xuan, Yu Ze, who had gotten up in the morning to discuss the details of today's meeting with him, frowned: "Dai Xing is the nephew of the Right Prime Minister Dai Zhide, and he is also a young minister of Dali Temple who has risen to the fourth rank in the court. He suddenly He was burned to death at the gate of the palace, and at this juncture, the trouble is huge. Uproar between the government and the public, and fierce public opinion are inevitable. If someone is accidentally used to echo the royal family, it may even lead to chaos in the world. "
"The world is in chaos?" Li Xuan looked at Yu Ze in amusement, with a slightly worried expression on his face: "How could it be so easy for the world to be in chaos? Those who really want the world to be in chaos are never the children of the royal family, but those who The death of Dai Xing, an ambitious conspirator, will unite the royal family."
"What the prince meant... is true. Dai Xing died in front of the palace, which seemed to be in response to the death of a group of mages. But since the prince has already found out the Wusheng Dao, it seems more like the other party is jumping over the wall. The clan There are many sages among them who will be able to see through this." Yu Ze let out a long sigh of relief.
He had been worried about today's meeting, so he came to discuss the details with Li Xuan early in the morning. Who would have thought that he would encounter the case of Dai Xing, the young minister of Dali Temple, being burned.
From this point of view, it is a good thing that Dai Xing was burned and killed. At the very least, the conflicts within the royal family will be alleviated.
"That's not right, Your Majesty. If you are really smart, you shouldn't kill Dai Xing at this time. Instead, you should burn him at the palace gate. This method is most used to fool some common people. In the court, Any official can see something fishy in this, let alone the emperor, the queen, and the kings of the clan."
Yu Ze was keenly aware of the fishy nature of this, and so was Li Xuan.
He nodded and said thoughtfully: "Dai Xing must have discovered some bigger secret or conspiracy, so he rushed to the palace before the palace door opened. Unexpectedly, he was caught by Wu Shengdao. Opportunity, but I don’t know what he discovered that could make a person who has no life be so anxious to jump over the wall.”
"Your Majesty, this case is no longer something we can investigate. The death of a young minister of Dali Temple, and he died at the gate of the palace. He was also the nephew of the right prime minister. At this time, the Dali Temple, Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment will definitely be involved. At the same time, we sent experts to investigate the case, and we stood aside." A wry smile appeared on Yu Ze's face.
Li Xuan shook his head slightly: "That's right, but no matter what, we should try to find out what Dai Xing found out last night, so as to prevent people from Wushengdao from focusing on me."
"Indeed, the prince just killed Wu Shengdao's people yesterday. They should have sought revenge from the prince first, but instead they killed Dai Xing. It was like Dai Xing had blocked the disaster for the prince." Yu Ze looked up suddenly. Li Xuan: "Your Majesty, it rained all night last night and it didn't stop until dawn. If Dai Xing really finds out something, he will never let anyone know about it. Dali Temple... I'm afraid there are people with no life inside Dali Temple. .”
"It's not just Dali Temple. In my opinion, people with no life path have already spread all over the capital." Li Xuan waved her hand, stretched and said, "Okay, we will discuss this later. Today, the most important thing is to meet with your Majesties. I hope everything will go as we expected. Someone come!"
Sijin and Ruyu, who were standing outside the courtyard, immediately walked in carrying a washbasin and Luopa.
After Li Xuan washed her face, rinsed her teeth, and changed clothes, she simply drank a bowl of ginseng porridge and left Cheng Yilang's residence.
Zhao Gong was not there. When Li Mo sent the news back, Zhao Gong had already left the mansion and rushed to the palace.
As the secret guard of the palace, Zhao Gong had the responsibility of monitoring the ground in Luoyang. Now that Dai Xing was burned and killed, countless people inside and outside Luoyang were busy.
"Drive, drive!" A fast horse suddenly caught up from behind, but before he could get close to the carriage, Li Xuan had already opened the curtain.
"Baotong, Su Baotong, how are your injuries?" Li Xuan looked at the knight who had slowed down his horse in surprise.
Wearing a maroon Qianniu uniform, holding a Qianniu sword in his hand, with a stern face, and only a hint of anxiety and avoidance in his eyes, the person who came was suddenly Su Baotong, who had fought alongside him in the ancient temple outside Luoyang City.
But that day, Su Baotong was seriously injured and passed out immediately after returning to Guguan.
Fortunately, after taking Qianniuwei's White Dew Pills, his injury quickly stabilized. Now it seems that his injury has been completely healed.
When approaching the carriage, Su Baotong had deliberately slowed down the horse, then came to the side of the carriage and held his hands: "I met the King of Nanchang. I really didn't know the identity of the prince that day, and let the prince take the risk. I'm really sorry. Please ask the prince forgive,"
"It's okay, you came here specifically to see me?" Li Xuan looked at Su Baotong in surprise.
Since that day, Zhang Huan never appeared in front of him again. Even Qiu Zhenmu only appeared for a while. Today, Su Baotong suddenly and hurriedly caught up with him. It was definitely not without reason.
"It's the Su family's business." Su Baotong looked a little bitter and said helplessly: "Su Sanliang has been claiming in Luoyang these years that he and his ancestors are of the same clan, using this to get around among high-ranking officials. When our ancestors were still alive, he thought He has excellent medical skills, so he has not denied it to the outside world. Who would have thought that he would actually rebel against the party?"
"By the way, your surname is Su?" Li Xuan understood somewhat, and then he frowned: "I wonder who your ancestor is?"
"My grandfather was crowned Duke of Xing by Your Majesty in the third year of Xianqing's reign!" Su Baotong looked serious and slightly arched his hands in the direction of the palace.
"Xing Guogong?" Li Xuan's eyes widened for a moment. Xing Guogong Su Dingfang is the new military god of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing, after Li Ji.
After Su Dingfang, it was Xue Rengui's turn, and even Pei Xingjian was a student of Su Dingfang.
"More than that, Duke Xing has made great contributions to the court both publicly and privately. Even if there are some rumors at this time, they will never implicate the Duke of Xing's mansion!" Li Xuan waved her hand. He admired Su Dingfang very much. Even Su San No matter what they did to risk the reputation of Duke Xing's Mansion, they would definitely not implicate the Duke of Xing's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, my ancestor has been dead for eight years. My father was only granted the title of Duke of Wuyi County. We have no future at all!" A wry smile appeared on Su Baotong's face.
The family fortune is in decline. What is the decline in family fortune? This is Chi Guoguo's family fortune.
Li Xuan faced her feelings head-on, and was shocked for a moment.
It is not too much to call Su Dingfang a military god, but after his death, his only son Su Qingjie was only granted the title of Duke of Wuyi County, and his official position was still Chaan Yu.
Compared with the descendants of Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin, the difference can be said to be worlds apart.
Su Qingjie was only granted the title of Duke of Wuyi County, and his sons were even worse. They might not even be able to keep their titles.
Coupled with this matter now, if you are not careful, you will break your muscles and bones.
"My ancestor is from Jizhou and Su Sanliang is from Weizhou. The two places are more than 500 miles apart. How can they be the same race? It's just him trying to argue. My ancestor thought about my father's good medical skills, so he was lenient. , who would have thought that he would be a rebellious person without a way of life!" Su Bao had a look of hatred and helplessness on his face.
Li Xuan nodded solemnly, thought for a while and then said: "I can't guarantee you anything. If there is a chance, I will help you with the Su family. But you also know that after Dai Shaoqing's incident, At this time, the imperial court will definitely send officials to conduct a detailed investigation. It is difficult to say how much weight my words have."
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty." Su Baotong breathed a long sigh of relief, and then cupped his hands: "I won't delay Your Majesty now, and I will invite Your Majesty to pay a visit someday."
Looking up and looking forward, Su Baotong immediately turned his horse around and turned into the alley next to him.
Li Xuan looked back and saw that the Tianjin Bridge was already in front of her, and they had arrived under the palace gate.
Putting down the car curtain, Li Xuan frowned and thought: The descendants of Su Dingfang, Duke of Xing State, are the most miserable among the children of meritorious families he has ever met.
If you lend a hand at this time, you may receive rich rewards in the future.
It's just that the Su family's decline to this day cannot be without a reason. Otherwise, Emperor Riji's generous attitude would not be able to not take more care of the children of meritorious officials.
Some of these details need to be carefully investigated before he takes action.
