"Prince!" Li Xuan and Zhao Gong exclaimed at the same time, looking at each other in shock.
Zhao Gong stood up directly, pacing back and forth anxiously, and said with a gloomy face: "The Tianyin Sect's previous series of conspiracies revolved around the cause of the prince's death, but after we defeated their series of conspiracies, how did they I still keep an eye on the prince and the cause of his death, what is the purpose of this?"
Li Xuan's expression surprisingly calmed down. He leaned back slightly and said softly: "The prince's coffin is always surrounded by top experts from the inner guard. No one is allowed to open the coffin...even if it is opened. On that day, His Majesty and the Queen must come in person, and in that case, the people of the Tianyin Sect will have no chance!"
Zhao Gong shook his head and said with great certainty: "They must have a solution. It may not necessarily be the prince's coffin, but maybe something else."
"It doesn't have to be the prince's coffin?" Li Xuan's expression finally became solemn, and he looked up at Zhao Gong: "Uncle, if it is the day of the prince's funeral, if someone detonates gunpowder on the road with the power of today's Tianjin Bridge, the consequences will be What will happen?"
"Gunpowder, gunpowder puppet?" Zhao Gong looked a little surprised, but finally shook his head: "It's unlikely. No matter how powerful gunpowder is, it's just like a bigger firecracker at most, unless it's a furnace like alchemy. Otherwise, it would only be a scare at most; the people who carried the prince's coffin were all fictitious groomsmen chosen from among the children of aristocratic families, ranging from twenty-four to hundreds of people. Even if one or two people were frightened, it would still be a big deal. It has nothing to do with the overall situation, let alone a hearse."
"I'm going to the royal family for a funeral!" Li Xuan cupped his hands toward the palace, and then said: "On the day of the funeral, the funeral directors will carry the coffin out of the palace, to Duanmen, where they will be carried into the hearse, and then the hearse will be sent to the mausoleum. Then he would be carried to the mausoleum by the concubine for burial, but if someone manipulated the concubine and took the opportunity to get close to the prince's coffin, and then use gunpowder to attack a particularly difficult place, it might be possible."
Li Xuan looked at Zhao Gong with an endless solemn look on his face.
Gunpowder in the Tang Dynasty had just started, and no one knew how powerful gunpowder could be.
The gunpowder explosion that occurred at Tianjin Bridge has long surpassed people's impression of firecrackers.
If someone develops successful gunpowder, even if it is only approximate, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Could it be that we are overthinking? How can people from the Tianyin Sect have the ability to manipulate the prince's husband?" Although Zhao Gong's face was a little ugly, he still said in denial: "The prince died suddenly of illness, even if we wait for it. None of them had reacted, let alone the Tianyin Sect. The day after the prince died of illness, the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, and Zongzheng Temple had all selected them, so there was no chance for the Tianyin Sect to intervene."
After a pause, Zhao Gong continued: "There is also the matter of the prince's mausoleum. The construction has just begun. It will take a long time to complete the construction of the prince's mausoleum. The prince's burial will be months away. Even if the Tianyin Sect wants to Whatever you do...you have enough time.”
At the end of his speech, Zhao Gong's expression changed slightly. He finally realized that there was really time and opportunity for what the Tianyin Sect wanted to do. ….
"No, it's just the opposite." Li Xuan suddenly became serious, looked at Zhao Gong and said, "A long time means that there are many dreams at night. Uncle, people like you and my uncle can see this. What’s more, the Queen of Heaven and the Saint are thousands of miles away, so what can be hidden from their eyes, so if the Blade of Tianyin Sect really has such a plan, it must be a plan to hide it from the sky, and they have ulterior motives.”
"This... this is not impossible, but the former cannot be ignored." Zhao Gong walked to the door, looked at the sunshine outside, and said seriously: "After I go back, I must report to the Queen of Heaven, Jingshan, and the Crown Prince. , Li Yan and Yan Zhuang must be investigated strictly."
Li Xuan stood up, waved his hands and said, "My uncle can just mention the matter about Li Yan and Yanzhuang. I'm afraid the inner guards have already started investigating. After all, they are close relatives of the prince. They can't do it at this time." , without any evidence, just arrest them all.”
Thousand-faced Buddha is one of the four elders of Tianyin Sect. Even with Li Yan's protection, he boldly entered the palace at this time. Didn't he know the risks involved?
No, he knows, except
In addition to his absolute confidence in himself, there are also people protecting him.
The Thousand-Faced Buddha was just a chess piece on the front desk. After he started his action, he had already fallen into the eyes of those who were interested.
"The key is gunpowder. My nephew always feels that this matter will not end so easily." Li Xuan's eyes flashed with worry, but then he said: "Among the government and the public, there is no one who has studied gunpowder more deeply than the general. , uncle might as well go to the general prison and have a look..."
"You said you will be a prisoner?" Zhao Gong's expression immediately changed, and he said with a very embarrassed expression: "In the early years, both Yan Lide and Yan Liben were great craftsmen, and Yanzhuang is in the same line as them. If he Something went wrong?"
Zhao Gong did not think about gunpowder, but thought about other places.
In Li Xuan's opinion, the extremely powerful gunpowder does not pose much of a threat to Zhao Gong. On the contrary, it is the other extremely powerful crossbow weapons that Yanzhuang may have mastered that are the most terrifying. Some of them even spread, It may greatly shake the rule of Tang Dynasty.
"I have to enter the palace now!" Zhao Gong was a little anxious and turned around to leave Jade Dragon Garden.
"Uncle!" Li Xuan suddenly appeared behind Zhao Gong, stretched out his hand to hold his shoulders, and held him in place. At the same time, he said with a wry smile: "Uncle, this matter cannot be rushed. It must be considered in the long run. Yanzhuang is here now. In the uterus of the Crown Prince, no one knows what the consequences will be if you act rashly."
After saying that, Li Xuan let go of Zhao Gong and looked at him like this.
"Prince's Palace", these three words still touched Zhao Gong. He slowly turned around and looked at Li Xuan. Suddenly he frowned and said with doubt on his face: "Da Lang, I always feel that you have ulterior motives?"
"Uncle found out!" Li Xuan said calmly, crossing her hands and bowing deeply: "To be honest with uncle, my nephew is preparing to go to Wuzhou."
After a slight pause, Li Xuan said with a solemn face: "Although the court knows a lot about the Tianyin Sect, not many people are really involved in the core. Except for the four elders, the King of East China Sea, the Saint, and the Queen, Very little is known about the real backbone of the Tianyin Sect’s various hall leaders. So we need to arrest someone alive.”….
The Thousand-Faced Buddha is the living mouth that Li Xuan likes. The Thousand-Faced Buddha can be anyone, and anyone can be the Thousand-Faced Buddha.
"You're right." Zhao Gong took a deep breath and then retreated to the study.
Sitting back on the chair, Li Xuan said seriously: "Both Yanzhuang and Li Yan are both in the prince's womb. Li Yan's abnormality today was not only seen by his nephew, but also by many other people. , Uncle feels how much the Queen may not know at this time.”
"The Queen of Heaven must have known that she is very special to the Crown Prince. Anyone who does anything out of the ordinary will definitely not be able to escape her eyes." Zhao Gong took a long breath, and then said: "Since the Queen of Heaven knows, Ming Chongyan, Qiu Shenji They will not let go either, they are also waiting, waiting to eradicate the last power of the Tianyin Sect in one fell swoop, and they are even waiting for the King of East China Sea."
"Yes, the King of East China Sea." Li Xuan also sighed with emotion and said: "No one knows who the King of East China Sea is or where he is hiding, but he has been secretly manipulating the situation in Luoyang. , we must find him."
"Forget it, as you said, I will only mention the gunpowder matters, and I will briefly mention the matters of Yanzhuang and Li Yan." After Zhao Gong finished speaking, he turned to look at Li Xuan, and said with a half-smile: "But, Dalang, there are One thing you need to understand is that it is not because of your political achievements in Wuzhou that you will be favored by His Majesty and promoted. You must know that you are different from ordinary officials. You belong to the clan, and the clan has its own way of promotion. .”
Li Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, and then nodded in realization, it was indeed the case.
Being in the middle of the game, with limited knowledge and vision, it was difficult for Li Xuan to see the whole picture.
Even if the royal family has achieved political achievements, even if it is excellent in the official assessment, if the emperor does not agree, you can only continue to stay.
"So, it's best to find an in-law who can help you get promoted!" Zhao Gong suddenly brought the topic back to Li Xuan's familiar taste.
But this time, Li Xuan couldn't refute.
Because he knew that what his cousin Zhao Gong said was true. If he didn't have other plans, he might really
That's all.
Suddenly, a burst of footsteps came from the front yard, followed closely by a serious-looking Li Mo, holding a secret letter and walking quickly towards Li Xuan. .
