The lantern was hung high on the official ship. As soon as Li Xuan stood firm on the deck, he immediately told Zhou Qian: "Tell the brothers to be more alert. We have returned to Chang'an. Don't cause problems at the last moment."
"Follow the order!" Zhou Qian immediately turned around and went to make arrangements.
Li Xuan turned around subconsciously and glanced behind the wooden door somewhere in the distant post station again.
A pair of dark eyes seemed to be staring at Li Xuan, observing his every move.
Even when Li Xuan looked back, she didn't move at all, her eyes bold.
[Ashina Yun, the lord of Jianchang County, the only daughter of Ashina, the general of the left guard, is the only daughter of Ashina, the general of the right guard, and the granddaughter of Ashina, the falcon of the right guard. Therefore, the general of the right guard, the prince of Beiping County, Great-granddaughter of Tuli Khan]
Great-granddaughter of Turli Khan.
Li Xuan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, why did she suddenly meet such a person.
Could it be that these people had just returned from Luoyang, and like Li Xuan, they did not have time to lock the city gate before it closed.
Is it a coincidence, or is there something else going on.
Li Xuan raised her head and looked at Chang'an City in the distance.
The new moon is like a hook.
The majestic Chang'an City is deep and mysterious, as if there are countless conspiracies and conspiracies.
Li Xuan suddenly laughed at himself. Chang'an was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, home to countless meritorious nobles. There were conflicts of interest every day and there were countless official peace talks. It was normal for the Turks to plot something here.
Li Xuan shook her head, keeping Ashina Yun's matter in her heart, turned around and walked quickly to the back cabin.
In the empty cabin of the rear cabin, the queen's black coffin was placed in the center, and three light incense sticks rose into the air.
Ming Chongyan and Qiu Zhenmu sat on the soft couch on one side, with a chessboard in front of them.
Qiu Zhenmu was sweating profusely, holding a chess piece in his hand that could not fall down. Ming Chongyan looked at him with interest.
In terms of chess ability, Qiu Zhenmu is no match for Ming Chongyan, and is far inferior to Sima Chengzhen.
Unfortunately, although Sima Chengzhen left Wuzhou with Li Xuan, he disembarked and returned to Maoshan when he arrived in Runzhou.
Li Xuan did not disturb Ming Chongyan's interest, put the vegetarian meal in his hand on the table, bowed slightly, and prepared to exit.
At this time, Ming Chongyan suddenly looked up at Li Xuan and asked, "Did the king find anything when he landed this time?"
Li Xuan stopped, straightened up, cupped his hands towards Ming Chongyan, and said, "Everything in Chang'an is as usual, it's still the same Chang'an."
"All nations come to court, stretching for eight miles, with billions of living beings, in the central imperial court." Ming Chongyan sighed softly, turned and looked out the window.
Chang'an City in the distance was clearly visible, and Ming Chongyan's expression gradually became serious.
Li Xuan stood aside with a calm expression, and his eyes fell on Chang'an City in the distance along with Ming Chongyan.
The importance of Chang'an made even Ming Chongyan, a close confidant of Empress Wu, feel extremely fearful.
Everyone felt relaxed when they were in Luoyang, but when they returned to Chang'an, no matter who they were, they felt as if a huge stone was weighing on their hearts.
No wonder that after Empress Wu ascended the throne, she always stayed in Luoyang and refused to return to Chang'an.
In addition to countless meritorious nobles in Chang'an who still cherish the Tang Dynasty, there are also countless Yi and Di officials from all over the world who also cherish the Tang Dynasty.
Even Empress Wu couldn't kill them all, so in the end she had to turn a blind eye and think they were innocent.
Li Xuan glanced sideways at Qiu Zhenmu, who was still trapped in the chess game, and said with her hands, "Master, we will enter the city tomorrow."
"Don't worry, Pindao won't make things difficult for him."
Li Xuan took a breath and continued: "Thank you, Master. On the ninth day of September, Xiao Wang is getting married. I hope Master Zhen will come to us."
Ming Chongyan looked at Li Xuan with some surprise, and finally nodded with satisfaction: "Master Xuanzang's disciple is getting married, so I will naturally ask for two glasses of wedding wine."
"Then Xiao Wang is waiting for the real person to come." Li Xuan cupped her hands and then slowly withdrew.
Ming Chongyan looked at Li Xuan's back and couldn't help but look solemn.
.
Although Li Xuan is young, she is cautious.
In fact, tonight, their ship had to be three minutes faster to reach Chang'an before the city gate was locked, but Li Xuan still took her time and sailed the ship steadily to the foot of Chang'an City.
Although the city gate has been locked, nothing changed in the end.
After arriving at the city, he went to the station to have a meal. It seemed that he was tired of staying on the boat, but Ming Chongyan knew that Li Xuan had gone to the shore to inquire about the current situation in Chang'an.
In order to avoid entering Chang'an, your eyes will be darkened and you will not know anything.
It was someone who plotted against him, and he didn’t even know how he died.
It's scary to be so cautious.
A white note was reduced to ashes in the flames.
Li Xuan looked up at Yu Ze and said softly: "King Qi was convicted by Yousi, so he was removed from Cizhou as governor and resettled in Lizhou."
"Do you know what the crime is?" Yu Ze glanced at the note and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, I don't even know who played it." Li Xuan's expression was solemn.
King Qi Li Shangjin was the third son of Li Zhi, but he was always a concubine during the period of Queen Wang and Empress Wu.
However, in the first year of Yonghui, King Qi Li Shangjin became the governor of Yizhou, and later served as the governor of Shouluci Prefecture.
Li Xuan and Qi Wang Li Shangjin did not have any special relationship. The two parties only met a few months ago at the funeral of the filial emperor Li Hong, and they did not even exchange a word.
Who would have thought that just a few months later, King Qi would have been dismissed from all official positions, reduced his fiefdoms, and was placed under house arrest in Lizhou.
"You are a swordsman, I am a fish!" Li Xuan looked at Yu Ze. He could only say this in front of Yu Ze.
"The Queen is in a bad mood, Your Majesty, please be careful." Yu Ze reminded Li Xuan again.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, and Yu Ze backed away.
Li Xuan turned to look in the direction of the inn. The Turks suddenly appeared in front of them at this time. Li Xuan did not think this was a coincidence.
He never believed in coincidences.
Maybe there is something to investigate here.
"Go, send someone to keep an eye on those Turks." Li Xuan looked sideways, and a man in black walked out of the darkness silently, held his hands slightly, and then stepped back.
"Queen's body." Li Xuan raised her head and looked at the majestic Chang'an City, wondering in her heart.
Why did the emperor ask him to send the body of Queen Empress to Chang'an? What is the mystery behind this?
Why are there so many people who are not from the Tianyin Sect trying to snatch the body of Queen Empress along the way? What is the secret behind this?
The sky was slightly bright, and there were not many people at the city gate.
On the pier, Li Xuan was already riding on a tall black horse. She was wearing red clothes and golden armor, looking majestic.
Behind him, Qiu Zhenmu, Zhou Qian and others lined up, and surrounded by a long black carriage in the middle, it was impossible to see what was inside.
Further back, there were Yu Ze and Qiqiao's group, as well as a group of students from Wuzhou, Hangzhou, and Yangzhou.
Zhuge Minghui, He Zhizhang and others were among them.
They will all attend next year's Spring Festival, which is only four months away. They will come with Li Xuan and will temporarily live in Prince Peng's Mansion.
After entering Chunming Gate, the broad street was immediately filled with people.
Compared with Luoyang, the streets in Chang'an are wider. You can see foreigners running back and forth quickly on the streets.
They have completely integrated into the city.
Li Xuan and his party walked through the middle of the street. The women and children around them not only showed no fear, but looked at the Qianniu Guards with curiosity.
Cross the long street, enter the imperial city from Anshangmen, go straight to the Taiji Palace, then turn left and enter Zuo Qianniuwei Mansion opposite Changle Gate.
"I have met the king." A middle-aged general wearing the armor of a general of the rank and file was waiting in front of the gate of the Wei Mansion. When he saw Li Xuan, he immediately handed over his hand: "The last general, He Wei, has met the king of Nanchang."
"I've seen He Zhonglang!" Li Xuan got off his horse and returned the favor.
He Jin is one of the two lieutenant generals of Zuo Qianniu Guards. Qiu Zhenmu, Zhou Kai and others are all his subordinates.
However, the two generals of Qianniuwei have been stationed in Chang'an all this time, while the two generals of Qianniuwei followed the emperor between Chang'an and Luoyang.
"Leave these to the general, the Prince of Peiping is waiting for you at the palace!" He Wei looked past Li Xuan and landed on the black carriage.
"Then I'll trouble you, He Zhonglang." Li Xuan slightly cupped his hands, and then left without any hesitation, following Qian Niuwei who was leading the way.
There were Qianniu Guards officers and soldiers all around. When they saw Li Xuan, they all solemnly bowed their hands and stood aside.
In the official mansion on the left, Li Xuan met Li Jingjia, the prince of Peiping County again.
After not seeing each other for several months, Li Jingjia seemed to have remained unchanged.
Li Xuan stood at the door and held his hand towards Li Jingjia, who was writing an official document: "Li Xuan, the inspector general of Zuo Qianniu Guards, has met the general."
"Twenty-seventh man, sit down." Li Jingjia raised his head, glanced at the short man on the left, and then lowered his head again and buried it in the official documents. Read the book
Li Xuan calmly walked to the short table and sat down, then silently waited for Li Jingjia to finish processing the official documents.
After a while, Li Jingjia put the official document in his hand aside, then looked up at Li Xuan, and said with satisfaction: "Seeing that Twenty-seventh Lang is still calm, I am finally relieved."
Li Xuan held up his hands with a wry smile: "I just made some achievements, how can I be so arrogant in front of Brother Wang?"
There are countless generals who slaughtered the country and exterminated the Tang Dynasty. The General Zuo Qianniuwei in front of him, Li Jingjia, had also fought on the battlefield in his early years. Now as General Zuo Qianniuwei, although he has the care of his clan status, he himself His military exploits are the root cause.
"It's good that you know the number twenty-seven. Brother, I have something to tell you in advance." Li Jingjia looked at Li Xuan solemnly.
Li Xuan immediately handed over his hand: "Brother Wang, please speak."
Li Jingjia nodded slightly and said, "This time something bad happened. Soon, His Majesty will remove you from the post of Inspector Zuo Qianniu Guards Lieutenant General. You must be prepared."
Li Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said calmly: "Although it is true that I am a little bit reluctant to give up, I know it well. I inspected Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang for the convenience of pacifying the Tianyin Sect. Now that it is over, I will take care of myself." quiet."
"Twenty-seventh Lang made the right choice, and he is much better than when he was my brother." Li Jingjia sighed lightly, and then he smiled and said: "But don't worry, Twenty-seventh Lang, this matter should be done after your wedding, at least You must have a glorious wedding."
"Now I have to thank Brother Wang." Li Xuan cupped her hands, her face full of joy.
Li Jing Jiajing's expression suddenly became solemn: "Brother, I have reported the news of your return to Beijing to the Saint this morning. The Saint will probably summon you tomorrow or the day after, so be prepared."
"Follow the order!" Li Xuan immediately bowed solemnly.
"Also, you know in your heart what should be said and what should not be said about Wuzhou. Chang'an is a stormy land, so be careful." Li Jingjia reminded him again.
"Thank you, Brother Wang." Li Xuan earnestly handed over his hands, and then asked carefully: "Where is the East Palace?"
"I met His Majesty first."
