In the nave, the light is whirling.
Li Xuan and Yu Ze looked at each other, and Ouyang Tong, who was sitting on one side, also had a solemn look on his face.
"Yan Tai was exiled to Guizhou. Is that a good time?" Li Xuan put the secret letter in her hand on the desk, her eyes full of doubts.
After all, Yan Tai is the son of Yan Lide and the nephew of Yan Liben. Even if Yan Zhuang "passed away from illness" just now is not considered, the reputation of those two should be considered.
What's more, today is the day of the Crown Prince's March 7th. The Crown Prince's family leader just died of illness the day before yesterday, and the Crown Prince's family leader's younger brother was inexplicably demoted today.
This is too unacceptable.
"You haven't said the reason yet?" Li Xuan looked up at Ouyang Tong and asked with a hint of anger, "Uncle, is this how the DPRK always behaves?"
The edict that demoted Yan Tai did not specify the reason for his relegation, which is strange.
Compared to Li Xuan and Yu Ze, who looked puzzled, Ouyang Tong sat there, drinking tea calmly, with a hint of understanding in his eyes.
Ouyang Tong raised his head and looked at Li Zhu: "Send someone to see if the Yan Mansion has started to pack up and prepare to leave for Guizhou immediately?"
Li Zhu subconsciously turned to look at Li Xuan. Li Xuan nodded. Li Zhu immediately accepted the offer and turned to leave.
Ouyang Tong turned to look at Li Xuan and asked seriously: "Da Lang, what do you think?"
"Let's leave for Guizhou immediately. This is too harsh... Wait, that's not right." Li Xuan looked at Ouyang Tong fiercely and said in a deep voice: "If Yan Tai is ready to leave for Guizhou immediately, let's say that he is not satisfied with this relegation. There is no dissatisfaction at all, that is to say, they also think that the court's treatment is right."
"Not only Yan Tai, but also Zhongshu Sheng, Menxia Sheng, Shangshu Sheng, and the Ministry of Officials all have no objections to this." Some strange details immediately appeared in Li Xuan's mind, thinking about it and said: "When I was established, When Degong was still alive, I don’t know how many people were favored by him. Just after Yan Zhuang died, the court demoted Yan Tai. It is logically unjustifiable. However, if there is a reason that can be explained, but it is not convenient to say it, then among the various provinces and ministries, People naturally keep silent. Yanzhuang, what on earth did he do?"
"Continue!" Ouyang Tong picked up the tea cup placed on one side and tasted the tea in a leisurely manner.
Li Xuan turned her head and looked into the courtyard. The courtyard was deep and covered with green trees. It was as complicated as the situation in front of her.
When he raised his head, he saw a straight gravel road leading straight to the photo. At this moment, it was like a bolt of lightning that pierced through Li Xuan's mind.
"He is the prince. The only thing that can be said is that Yan Zhuang left something like a legacy and submitted it to the emperor and the queen. It even involved sensitive matters, so the queen was furious and demoted Yan Tai." After saying this, Li A strange expression suddenly appeared on Xuan's face, and he looked at Ouyang Tong: "Uncle, if you don't consider the Tianyin Sect, the only possible reason is this. But considering the Tianyin Sect, that is, before Yan Zhuang set off, in order to gain the trust of the Taiyin Sect, , I took something I shouldn’t have taken in the palace, which made the Queen of Heaven very angry, this is what my nephew thinks.”
Li Xuan's brows suddenly raised. He seemed to see the truth behind all these appearances. Li Xuan slowly sat back on the chair.
Suddenly, he slapped his forehead fiercely and said bitterly: "How could I be so stupid that I didn't see through the illusion of all this."
Ouyang Tong nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at Yu Ze: "Brother Guanzhong, have you figured it out?"
"Yes!" Yu Ze nodded solemnly. Li Xuan had almost finished speaking. How could he still not understand? But he still frowned and his eyes were filled with unbearable color.
"This is a game," Li Xuan looked at Yu Ze and said softly: "The Queen of Heaven will not be angry, because Yan Zhuang is crucial to destroy the Tianyin Sect. So the Queen of Heaven will not be angry because of what Yan Zhuang did. Even if there is something to be done, it will be done after all this, so all of this is a game, including Qiu Shenji going to Yanzhuang Mansion and the secret guards surrounding Yanzhuang Mansion. They are all for outsiders to see, and they are all for Tianyin. It’s just for people to see, even when Yan Tai was punished.”
"It's a pity that we and the authorities are so confused that we can't jump out and know nothing about it." Yu Ze smiled bitterly and looked at Ouyang Tong: "Brother Tong, is the price too high for this?"
Li Xuan paused and looked at Ouyang Tong.
He also thought about this problem.
"He who is ordered by Heaven is given by Heaven's will, so he who is called the Son of Heaven also regards Heaven as his father, regards Heaven as a filial piety, and is bound by Heaven to carry his destiny. It is difficult to disobey Heaven's will." Ouyang Tong, a master of Confucianism, is very clear about nature, Yan Tai The edict to be demoted to Guizhou has been issued, and there is no room for change.
Once the imperial edict is issued, the Queen will not change it overnight.
"Is it really worth it for Yanzhuang to do this?"
Li Xuan lamented in her heart that Yan Zhuang had done so much to help the court completely eliminate the Tianyin Sect's rebels and completely rule the southeast. However, now that the outcome is unknown, a heavy price has been paid.
Once he misses, Yan Tai will lose his only chance.
In this generation of the Yan family, Yan Yuanlang, a descendant of Yan Liben, took office as the governor of Bozhou in his early years, but he died.
The eldest son of Yan Lide's descendants, Yan Xuansui, who was an official to the rank of Sinong Shaoqing, died twenty years ago.
In Yanzhuang, Mrs. Liu was the sister of Liu Shenli, Minister of Industry, and she was appointed to the crown prince's family.
The third son, Yan Tai, served as an official in the imperial court and served as an imperial minister to Shang She. Now he is on trial and is exiled to Guizhou.
Yan Yuanxiu, a descendant of Yan Lixing, is now the Sima of Ganzhou.
Yan Zhuang has now bet the entire family. Once he fails, the entire Yan family will completely withdraw from the court.
Even though his brother-in-law Liu Shenli was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, the matter was dangerous and Liu Shenli could not do much if it failed.
"This is the Queen's usual approach."
Ouyang Tong looked at Li Xuan and Yu Ze solemnly, and whispered: "You two are not in court, and it is difficult to see the truth behind many things. Therefore, in the future, be sure not to put yourself in a situation where you have no choice."
"Here!" Li Xuan and Yu Ze were trained at the same time. Li Xuan stood up and looked at Ouyang Tong: "Uncle, even we are kept in the dark about this matter now, and it is even more difficult for everyone in the Tianyin Sect to spy on it. The truth revealed, Yan still had a chance to return home with his merits."
Yanzhuang can only achieve superhuman merits by establishing special skills in the battle to eradicate the Tianyin Sect.
By then, not only will he himself be reused, but his brother will also be freed from exile, and even be able to open his way to the prime minister.
Prince's family order, one step up from the fourth rank, can obtain the position of governor. Although there are 300 governors in the Tang Dynasty, countless wealthy families, relatives of clans, and common people from poor families are all staring at such a situation. Location, it's a great luck to get one. ..
Yanzhuang has done so many things. Once he succeeds, he will be appointed as the governor at least.
"Dalang, as my uncle, here I will teach you the first real lesson, which is what you once told King Yong, a gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall." Ouyang Tong said with a solemn expression: "Yan risked it at that time Going to Jiangnan with such a huge risk, the biggest crisis here is not the Tianyin rebels, but whether he can return to Luoyang alive.
Don't forget that he is already dead. Even if he dies again, there is nothing he can do about it. Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, the prefectures and counties, Qianniu Guard, and Jinwu Guard can't even investigate him. Do you understand? "
Ouyang Tong's words are full of profound meaning. There are too many unspeakable things that cannot be said.
"My nephew, save it." Li Xuan nodded seriously, a chill rising in her heart.
How could he not know that Yan Zhuang's biggest enemy is actually everyone who wants to get a share of the Tianyin Sect's achievements this time. Once Yan Zhuang dies, there will naturally be fewer people sharing the cake.
"Also, this time you go to the southeast and kill less." Ouyang Tong said it very directly.
Li Xuan couldn't help but pause slightly.
This time, it was Li Zhi who planned to completely wipe out the entire southeastern rebellion.
Look at Yanzhuang, what a price he has paid for this. Now everything is running quickly, and then he will wait for the main force of Tianyin Sect to gather, and then wipe it out in one fell swoop.
If you want to completely eliminate the hidden dangers of Tianyin Sect, you must first completely eliminate the main backbone of Tianyin Sect.
In this case, there are definitely not a few innocent people involved.
"My nephew has also thought about this, but he cannot make the decision. He can only do his best. Wuzhou is like this. As for other things..." Li Xuan looked difficult for a while.
How could he not know that this trip would lead to bloody killings, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands, but this kind of thing cannot be done with mercy.
If the Tianyin Sect die-hards cannot be wiped out in one fell swoop, the rebellion will inevitably start again decades later.
Ouyang Tong waved his hands and said in a deep voice: "I am the governor of Yizhou. How can I not understand this kind of joint? I just want you not to kill indiscriminately."
"Of course." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My nephew is not in vain, so there is no need to dig mass graves. Besides, Wuzhou is still under the rule of my nephew, and he should keep the people safe."
"It's best if you think so. Here, here is my greeting card. If there is an emergency, you can go to the Yuezhou Governor's Mansion and find Duan Baoxuan. He is the same year as mine." Ouyang Tong finally handed Li a trump card. In Xuan's hands.
