Black Dragon Order, the entrance to the tent closest to the granary. .
Li Xuan turned sideways and looked at Qiu Zhenmu, and ordered in a low voice: "Hold the camp, no one can approach within ten feet, any intruders will be killed."
"Here!" Qiu Zhenmu accepted the order, and a group of thousands of cattle guards immediately surrounded the camp.
"Captain, please!" Li Xuan stretched out his hand to invite Duan Baoxuan into the tent. The moment he lowered the curtain, Li Xuan saw many people looking this way, and then he lowered the curtain.
Quickly walking to the desk, Li Xuan opened the small box inside, then took out a yellow leather memorial book, held it in both hands, and handed it to Duan Baoxuan.
Seeing that Duan Baoxuan was a little surprised, Li Xuan explained briefly: "In the past few months, my nephew has sent letters to the East Palace several times, and received a rare reply. Although he used the channel of the Prince's Palace, there was something in it. This is His Majesty’s secret order.”
"Yes!" Duan Baoxuan nodded with a serious expression, took it with both hands, and then opened the memorial in front of Li Xuan.
Li Xuan did not wait for Duan Baoxuan to finish reading, but sat down behind the desk in front of Duan Baoxuan.
Li Xuan picked up a piece of rice paper from the side and began to write all the processes of his underground palace on it.
Everything is described in an objective tone as much as possible, without any personal touch.
There are many taboos when reporting affairs to the emperor, and even if there is a slight error, it is not a big deal. Reprimand is a trivial matter, and it is not uncommon to be dismissed from office.
After carefully writing, Li Xuan started to revise carefully again.
After all, many people here are not known to the world, especially the fact that the queen committed suicide in the queen's wedding dress, and cannot be mentioned at all.
But Li Xuan believed that as long as the memorial was in the hands of the emperor, he would understand everything that should be understood.
Moreover, there are many emperor's informants in today's army. Maybe the emperor already knows the details, and there is no need for Li Xuan to elaborate.
The most important thing is that this memorial is likely to fall into the hands of the queen, so he can't help but be careless.
After writing everything down, Li Xuan asked for instructions at the end: "Where is the legacy of the traitor?"
As for how to dispose of the body of Empress Xuan, Li Xuan needs to get the emperor's accurate holy order before she can handle the follow-up.
Now Li Xian has begun to handle some government affairs. Although Li Xian does not have the power to handle these things on his own, he can put forward his own opinions. This is the prince.
Li Xuan didn't mention the Queen's wedding dress at all, and Li Xian probably didn't know that his treatment could be used by the emperor to silence the Queen.
Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief after copying it into the memorial again.
Looking up, Li Xuan handed the new memorial to Duan Baoxuan: "What do you think, Uncle Shi?"
Duan Baoxuan put down the emperor's secret order, then read Li Xuan's memorial, and said with admiration: "Yu Ze and those guys taught you very well. There are basically no loopholes in this memorial."
"There are basically no loopholes, but there are still loopholes?" Li Xuan immediately handed over his hand and said sincerely: "I would like to ask uncle for advice."
"Actually, you shouldn't ask this question to the East Palace and His Majesty. His Majesty hopes that the ministers can handle this kind of matter by themselves instead of asking him. After all, the Queen of Heaven is involved." Duan Baoxuan seemed to be in charge of the main account, but inside Nothing can be hidden from him, inside or outside.
Li Xuan thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "My nephew is worried too much."
Li Xuan had to admit that what Duan Baoxuan said was true.
After pondering for a while, Li Xuan rewrote a memorial.
This time, he did not move from the front, but from behind, he said directly: "I originally wanted to bury him in the countryside, but the court has regulations. The leader of the rebels should be sent to the various states. After everything is settled, I will deliver it to the center for verification. Be clear and correct in order to prepare for the situation."
After finishing writing, Li Xuan looked up at Duan Baoxuan and said, "In this case, if the court has other arrangements, it should be made clear or an envoy should be sent."
Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan's memorial, shook his head slightly, and said, "If the governor was doing the work, I'm afraid the corpse of the traitor would have been delivered to the capital of the gods long ago. Why should my nephew be in trouble here?"
"Oh, Uncle Shi, are you willing to take over?" Li Xuan suddenly looked at Duan Baoxuan with a look of joy on his face, cupped his hands and said, "What if Uncle Shi takes over this matter? My nephew has already given up a lot of credit, and this one is not missing. "
"No need!" Duan Baoxuan refused without hesitation and said, "I don't want to offend the Queen of Heaven before I take office."
Although Empress Wu had the world in mind, in some matters, her mind was indeed not that broad, or even a little narrow.
The empress committed suicide in her wedding dress, but the empress of the dynasty was Empress Wu.
When they were at Ganye Temple, the relationship between the two was said to be quite good, and they even looked after each other.
But when another man is involved, even if they are like sisters, they will immediately fall out.
Empress Wu did this before she died, obviously to show it to the emperor, but the one who didn't want the emperor to see this scene the most was Empress Wu.
"If I hadn't had this secret edict in advance, my nephew wouldn't have wanted to offend the Queen of Heaven. It's hard to say that he would have crushed it to ashes now." Li Xuan shook her head, her face was full of helplessness, what was going on.
If there was no such secret decree, then Li Xuan could have regarded the empress wearing the wedding dress before her death as a deliberate attempt to provoke the empress's feelings, and he could have directly crushed her to ashes.
But with this secret book in front of them, it would be difficult not to make people suspicious. The emperor and the queen had a tacit understanding on this matter.
If we think of the Duganye Temple back then, just the emotional entanglements involved, Li Xuan would be able to think about it for three days and three nights.
But there was no way. In this matter, he had to stand on the emperor's side, and it would be difficult not to offend Empress Wu.
"Then don't make mistakes. Everything should be done in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court." Duan Baoxuan patted Li Xuan on the shoulder and said the same words as Sima Chengzhen.
Li Xuan nodded seriously and said in a deep voice, "My nephew, I remember."
Duan Baoxuan placed Li Xuan's memorial on the table again and said softly: "You did a good job today. The secret edict is secret because it cannot appear in front of everyone. As long as it does not appear in front of everyone, Then it has extraordinary power."
Having said this, Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan and said: "From today on, you will guard the coffin of the empress. No one is allowed to approach easily. Anyone who has any delusions can be killed first and later reported."
"Here!" Li Xuan immediately accepted the offer.
With Duan Baoxuan's words, he could still kill people without using secret orders.
Speaking of this, Li Xuan suddenly remembered something and asked in a low voice: "Should uncle know Yan Zhuang?"
Duan Baoxuan nodded and said: "When I was the Sima of Luozhou, I met him a few times, but we were not very familiar with him. I never thought that he would die here today."
"Uncle, is there any problem with reporting like this? Yanzhuang died of illness while he was in the capital of the gods. If he had made new contributions, he could naturally return to the capital of the gods in an upright manner. But now, not only has he not made any great contributions, he has even harmed the people. If the general of the army loses an army and loses a general, if this is reported, my nephew is worried that someone will take advantage of it to make a fuss."
Duan Baoxuan's face immediately darkened. He thought for a moment and then nodded in approval and said, "It is indeed possible. I wonder if my nephew has any suggestions?"
Li Xuan took a step forward and whispered: "A dead person cannot die again, but a missing person can be confirmed dead?"
"who?"
"Yongchang Bo Liangming, son of Liang Yan, Duke of Chiang Kai-shek." Li Xuan said it out, and then said: "When Yan Zhuang was in Yangzhou, he had already pretended to be Liang Yan for a period of time as the Thousand-Faced Buddha. This is not entirely true. It’s a lie.”
"What about Hyakuchiji and Senniu Guard?"
"Qianniuwei naturally has no problem. As for Baiqisi, any of their reports cannot appear publicly on any positive occasion. In this way, everything can be explained from top to bottom, inside and outside, and the Yan family does not have to worry about the Queen of Heaven. We will continue to suppress them.”
Li Xuan sighed softly.
If Yan Zhuang has made great contributions in this matter, then the Yan family naturally does not have to worry about anything. But this is his failure, and the previous charges against him will immediately be confirmed, and the Yan family
To finish.
It would be best for them to take the initiative to take this matter out.
"Let me make a decision on this matter after I discuss it with Liu Gongbu. After all, I have to listen to him on this matter."
Liu Gongbu is Liu Shenli, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Yanzhuang is his sister-in-law.
"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded, and then asked: "Uncle, is the Zhonglang General still in the camp now?"
Li Xuan stood solemnly outside the big tent. There was a black coffin lying flat inside the big tent, and inside the black coffin was placed the body of the queen.
"Your Majesty!" Yu Ze and Qiu Zhenmu stood outside the tent, holding their hands towards Li Xuan.
"Come in." Li Xuan waved her hand, then turned and walked into the tent.
There is a teapot on the table on one side and several short tables.
Li Xuan poured three cups of tea, then handed it to Yu Ze and Qiu Zhenmu respectively, and then said: "Although externally we say that the queen committed suicide, in fact we all know that this is not the case at all. Nowadays, for most people , I don’t care about the truth, but I still feel that I need to find out.”
Yu Ze was the first to speak and said: "It is correct to say that the queen committed suicide before she committed suicide. It was just that she had made arrangements for her funeral before committing suicide, so she chose to pass away calmly."
"Your Majesty, there is no doubt that the death of Queen Concubine was a suicide. There is no need to investigate. What really needs to be clarified is where her soul went?" Qiu Zhenmu pointed out the core of the incident in one sentence.
Where has the queen's soul gone?
Li Xuan nodded and said: "The queen must have failed to form the elixir. After the failure, she preserved her body in a clever way, but her soul essence was given to others to take away. Therefore, as long as we find out who this person is, we can find it." Does she know what happened?"
Qiu Zhenmu said seriously: "According to the believers who surrendered, the saints Ye Wanwan and Zhang Wanyu left the underground palace before the death of Empress Gu, and they disappeared without a trace after that, but there was one person who should have been by Empress Gu's side. But after Queen Empress died, he disappeared without a trace, and everyone must be looking for him now."
"Chen Zhong." Li Xuan nodded in agreement and sighed: "That's true. Chen Zhong was originally supposed to commit suicide with Empress Gu. Now that he has disappeared, Empress Gu has naturally made arrangements. Maybe now, Master Shi Yin and Empress Gu will commit suicide together." Master Dao Yin has already chased him away."
"And uncle, he is also missing now," Qiu Zhenmu shook his head helplessly.
Qiu Shenji is now no longer the general of the Jinwu Guard, but the governor of She.
Leaving quietly without saying a word is too easy to attract criticism.
"Chasing Chen Zhong are not only General Zhonglang, Master Shi Yin and Master Dao Yin, but also King Kumara of the Western Regions, Demon Monk Wu Ai of Wusheng Dao, Palace Master Su Lianyu of Tianyu Palace, Master Qiu of Wanxiang Pavilion. Huan, they are not simple people, and they may not be the only ones on this trip." Li Xuan paused for a moment, looked at Qiu Zhenmu and said, "Brother Qiu, I heard that all the generals around General Zhonglang have been killed. Already."
"It was that trap." Although Qiu Zhenmu's face didn't look good, it was just not good-looking.
All the generals under Qiu Shenji were retained by Qiu Xinggong, but the generals in Qiu Zhenmu's family were all retained by Qiu Xinggong's eldest brother, Master Qiu. Qiu Shenji's loss was not Qiu Zhenmu's loss.
"At this time, General Zhonglang has not made many achievements. Brother Qiu, if I give the order for you to set off immediately and track the whereabouts of Chen Zhong and others from the back, would you be willing?" Li Xuan looked at Qiu Zhenmu solemnly. .
Qiu Zhenmu had known for a long time that Li Xuan would say this. After thinking for a while, he finally nodded.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qiu Zhenmu stood up and bowed deeply to Li Xuan, then turned and left.
"Why did the prince need to push him away?" Yu Ze stood aside and looked at Li Xuan with some confusion.
"Uncle Yu, do you still remember Uncle Yongchang and the meteorite in his hand?" Li Xuan raised her head, glanced at Yu Ze, and then looked at the corner to one side.
A woman with a figure not much different from Li Xuan, wearing a black fish scale armor, holding an eight-sided Han sword, stood quietly.
