"Ever since my nephew entered the capital of the gods, he has always followed the crowd and found it difficult to be independent. Although he has achieved some success, he is cautious every day and prepares for things, but he still feels inadequate." Li Xuan paused for a moment, then said with a wry smile: " My nephew is in the middle of the situation, and it is very foggy. He cannot see the true face of Lushan, so I would like to ask my uncle for some guidance."
Li Xuan held a cup of Xishan White Dew in front of his uncle Ouyang Tong with both hands, and then stood aside with hands tied, listening to the lesson.
"Everything you have done^" Ouyang Tong took the white porcelain tea cup, took a sip, and then said in a deep voice: "You are too impatient, and you don't even need to arrive in the divine capital in advance... Although Wuzhou is a place of meritorious service , but it is too dangerous, and a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall. Is this what you are trying to persuade King Yong?"
Ouyang Tong seemed to have swallowed half of his words, and Li Xuan keenly caught it, but Ouyang Tong didn't say anything, so it was hard for him to ask further questions.
"Yes, my nephew did say that to His Highness King Yong!" Li Xuan handed over his hand and was about to continue when suddenly, cold sweat broke out all over his body.
Because when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that everything he did after arriving in the divine capital was being manipulated by an invisible hand.
Although Li Xuan responded in time, she still felt overwhelmed.
It seemed that many things were happening one after another, leaving him no time to react.
There seemed to always be a sense of crisis lingering over his head.
A gentleman never stands behind a dangerous wall. He always told others this, but he never thought that he was already in a similar environment.
"Zhao Gong doesn't dare to show up until now. He's afraid he might have guessed something." Ouyang Tong snorted coldly and looked up at the door of the lobby.
Although there was a screen blocking it, Zhao Gong could see it at a glance when he arrived.
"Is it the Queen?" Li Xuan's face was extremely heavy.
Although Zhao Gong, as the commander of the secret guards, had access to many secret files, if it was said that someone was deliberately manipulating this matter to lure him into taking action step by step, all Li Xuan could think of was Empress Wu.
"It's the Queen, and it's your Majesty." Ouyang Tong shook his head with a calm expression, looked at the tea soup in front of him and blew lightly.
Ouyang Tong saw clearly that although Empress Wu was responsible for this matter, the emperor was also happy to see the outcome.
This is a higher-level game, and Li Xuan is just a small chess piece.
"Your Majesty is choosing someone." Yu Ze, who was standing aside, picked someone and said, "This is His Majesty's usual method. If he wants to use a person, he must first test it out. If it is suitable, then use it. If he is no longer useful, he will be removed immediately."
The emperor has always been eclectic in employing people.
Over the years, although he has been using his poor family to suppress members of the aristocratic family, a closer look shows that in the court, the majority are still from aristocratic families, but the entire court is still firmly in the hands of the emperor.
During a trip to the Crown Prince's Palace today, Li Xuan met many prime ministers from the DPRK and China. However, most of these people were close associates of the emperor.
Similarly, many people were also close confidants of Empress Wu.
Perhaps over the years, they have become accustomed to the fact that the Queen and His Majesty are one.
The Queen of Heaven represents the emperor, and the decrees of the Queen of Heaven are the decrees of the emperor.
But for many years, the concept still persists: the emperor is the master of a country.
Although Li Zhi pushed Empress Wu to the front stage, he further created this impression. At the same time, he pushed Li Hong to the front stage to compete with Empress Wu for power.
Although Li Hong died of illness, he quickly pushed Li Xianyou out.
The relationship between the Queen and the Prince has become more balanced again. Although the Queen has secretly seized many positions these days, after today, I am afraid that many people will join Li Xian again.
At that time, if Li Zhi fiddles with it lightly, the entire court situation will become balanced again.
In today's court, although Li Zhi and Empress Wu have a lot of secret rivalries, they are benign rivalries.
To put it bluntly, it is the boudoir pleasure between husband and wife.
The same goes for Li Xuan. He was not only being manipulated by Empress Wu, but also by Li Zhi.
"Fortunately, your performance is good, His Majesty should be very satisfied, but the Queen..." Ouyang Tong said this and began to ponder.
Li Xuan
His face suddenly darkened. Many of the things he did in Luoyang were actually against Qiu Shenji.
For example, in the case of Tianyin Sect, Qiu Shenji wanted to launch Li Yan, but in the end Yanzhuang won.
Li Xuan intervened here intentionally or unintentionally, which might not be invisible to Empress Wu.
Not to mention that there is a group of people headed by Ming Chongyan around her. After careful consideration, many things can be seen clearly.
However, although Li Xuan was a little worried, it was just a little, because he had always been following the emperor's orders and did not show much fear and vigilance towards Empress Wu. This was what he had always forced himself to maintain.
If he really wants to do something and find ways to assassinate Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, then everything in the future will change.
It's just a pity that this method has too many consequences.
If there were not one, no, several white gloves blocking the front, then even if Li Xuan assassinated Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, he himself would not be able to escape the subsequent investigation.
Similar things do not require proof. In many cases, a suspicion is enough.
Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi were not worth the price he paid.
Moreover, their existence is not entirely a bad thing.
After thinking for a moment, Ouyang Tong suddenly said: "The day after tomorrow, I will write a letter of thanks and give it to the Queen."
"Thank you Enzhe?" Li Xuan's eyes narrowed and he began to think.
On the other hand, Yu Ze looked confused and asked with confusion, "Thank you, Enzhe, for what kind of favor?"
Since Li Xuan entered the capital of the gods, whether he was a medicine minister, a doctor of Tongyi, or a general of Qianniu Guards, etc., they were all given by the emperor, and they had nothing to do with the Queen of Heaven.
"It is the grace of marriage." Li Xuan lowered her head and said while thinking: "Although the marriage with Zuo Xiang's family was finally decided by His Majesty, in reality, it was the Queen who promoted it and the Queen gave the first approval. , the decision was made by His Majesty.”
It turns out that I was in the hands of others from beginning to end, and Empress Wu held the most critical card in her hands.
Although Li Xuan's performance in Luoyang during these days was somewhat inconsistent with the Queen's wishes, the overall situation was not out of control.
Empress Wu is watching. If Li Xuan writes this note of gratitude, Empress Wu will still be optimistic about him and even continue to cultivate him.
But if Li Xuan didn't write this note of gratitude, or even couldn't see this, then in the future, let alone cultivation, it would be considered a light thing if he didn't suppress her severely.
Li Xuan quickly adjusted her mentality. This is the current situation in the court.
There was no one in the court who was not repeatedly jumping between the empress and the emperor.
For example, when Empress Wu deposed Li Xian and established Li Dan as emperor in the future, there was not much opposition in the entire court.
It was not until Empress Wu tried to depose Tang and establish Zhou that large-scale opposition came.
"Indeed." Li Xuan nodded and bowed seriously to Ouyang Tong: "Thank you uncle, my nephew will start thinking about it today!"
"I'm not busy!" Ouyang Tong directly waved his hand and said, "First, you have someone go to Zuo Xiang's residence and deliver my invitation. In three days, I will visit you and discuss the marriage."
"Here!" Li Xuan responded immediately. Ouyang Tong's actions, coupled with the thank you letter he wrote before, maybe the marriage decree will come down before all this.
"By the way, uncle, I have one more thing to ask about. Is it about the crown prince's command at Yanzhuang?" Li Xuan asked the biggest question in her mind.
What happened in Yanzhuang was weird both inside and out, as if everything was settled but something unexpected happened again.
Ouyang Tong looked at Li Xuan in surprise, then turned to look at Yu Ze: "He didn't see it, and you didn't see it either, Brother Yu Xian!"
"Brother, please give me some advice." Yu Ze shook his head helplessly. It was rare for him that this place was not full of weirdness, but there were too many things blocking his view. It was not easy to get past this layer of fog and see through the truth behind it, especially for those who had other ideas in their hearts. A scheming person,
Li Xuan was scratching his head for a while. Yanzhuang was about to go to the southeast. This was something the emperor had allowed. Now that something unexpected happened, there were only two possibilities.
One is that Yan Zhuang learned the truth about the death of Prince Li Hong and obtained the evidence; the other is that Qiu Shenji and others were unwilling to fail and secretly attacked Yan Zhuang.
As for the people of Tianyin Sect, it is impossible.
Their manpower, those who can evacuate Luoyang have already withdrawn, and those who cannot evacuate are deeply lurking.
Killing Yan Zhuang didn't mean much to them, not to mention that they knew very little about Yan Zhuang's true situation.
Something was stuck, Li Xuan pressed his brow.
He had a feeling that it was precisely because he knew too much that he had deep knowledge barriers.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded outside the door.
Immediately, Li Zhu appeared outside the door. new
He bowed slightly to Ouyang Tong and Yu Ze, then quickly walked towards Li Xuan, and a wax pill was handed over.
Li Xuan frowned and pinched open the wax pill, took out the secret letter, and when he looked at it, his expression suddenly changed: "Yan Tai was demoted and exiled to Guizhou."
