The breeze swept between the pavilions.
Li Xian looked at the lotus pond in front of him with cold eyes: "It seems that all the prefectures and counties in the world will have to send more people to check in the future."
"Indeed." Li Xuan nodded directly and said: "No matter whether it is useful or not, it is always good to make those corrupt officials more alert. Even if they want to bribe others, they will have to spend more effort and more effort. With a little effort, people can be exploited less."
"What Uncle Wang said is true." Li Xian smiled softly and said, "Having a good talk with Uncle Wang is more effective than Xian studying with his teacher for many years."
"Your Highness is wrong." Li Xuan quickly looked at Li Xian with a stern expression. In his surprised eyes, he solemnly retorted: "What you gentlemen taught Your Highness was Tao, and what I used was just magic. Tao When it comes to skills, Your Highness must not make any mistakes."
Tao is the law of natural operation and the basis for human cultivation.
Technique is the way people do things in compliance with the laws of nature. It is also the way of control, advancement and defense.
Li Xian's teachers who are famous all over the world may lack some skills, but on the great road, no one hundred Li Xuan can match them.
"Xian has learned a lesson." Li Xian looked sincere and kept everything in mind before he continued: "Uncle Wang is traveling to the southeast to rectify Wuzhou, pacify the rebels, and appease Muzhou. Although the time is short, he has made great achievements. I have great admiration for you, but there is one thing I don’t know whether to talk about or not?”
"Your Highness, please speak." Li Xuan looked at Li Xian seriously. As the prince, Li Xian and Li Xuan talked so much nonsense in the back pavilion. It was not without reason.
"Uncle Wang, please read it." Li Xian said, taking out a memorial from his sleeve and handing it to Li Xuan with a solemn expression.
Li Xuan took the memorial and opened it. It read clearly: "I, Wang Bo, please report to Your Highness the Crown Prince. Since I was a child... I am willing to use my small contribution in exchange for my father's return to the Central Plains. I am willing to serve in Jiaozhi on my father's behalf. Please, Your Highness." Yes."
Li Xuan slowly put down the memorial and said with emotion: "I have always known that Mr. Zi'an is a very filial man. How could he be willing to serve thousands of miles away from his father? Now that he is willing to take his own life, it is not beyond my expectation."
"So, Uncle Wang agreed?"
"Everyone has his own ambitions." After a slight pause, Li Xuan looked at Li Xian and said, "Actually, a few months ago, I reported to the Saint and the Queen of Heaven, asking the two Saints to look at Mr. Zian's pure filial piety. His father was transferred back to China to serve, even if it was a remote place in Min, Yunnan and Guizhou, it would be better than being in Jiaozhi thousands of miles away. However, the saints and the queen of heaven have not agreed. Now that this memorial is sent to atone for sins with merit, the two saints are afraid that they will I gladly agreed."
"Then it's done." Li Xian shook his head slightly and sighed: "I actually can't bear to leave Mr. Zian, but as Uncle Wang said, filial piety is the most important thing in the world. You can't stop him, so just let him go. Maybe After several years of experience in Jiaozhi, it is not necessarily impossible for Mr. Zian to achieve something else."
"Yes!" Li Xuan disagreed, but there was a hint of luck in his expression.
When Wang Bo went south this time, he had to pass through Nanchang.
If Li Xuan's memory is correct, the renovation of Prince Teng's Pavilion should be completed in the near future.
He originally thought it was a pity, but now it seems that everything is destined.
Originally, when Wang Bohui visited his father in Jiaozhi and returned north, he unfortunately slipped and fell into the water and drowned. If he is appointed as the magistrate of Jiaozhi now, he will not return north for several years. In this way, he can avoid the disaster of life and death.
In addition, there is Li Xian. No matter how gentle and courteous Li Xian is, the conflict between him and Empress Wu will become more and more serious.
Wang Bo is a close minister of Li Xian. Once something happens to Li Xian, Wang Bo will inevitably be implicated. With his relationship with Li Xuan, Li Xuan will inevitably get involved in this quagmire.
Now, he has escaped, and so has Li Xuan.
It's just a pity.
However, the preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion is also good.
Looking around, Li Xian waved his hand, and all the maids and chamberlains around him retreated.
At this time, Li Xian, whose face was red due to drinking, said with some annoyance: "Uncle Wang doesn't know something. I am young and have too much time to deal with government affairs."
He is still short, some of his ideas and techniques are not mature enough, and he is often scolded by his mother. I wonder if Uncle Wang can do anything good to help me? "
"Hiss!" Li Xuan couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air. Did Li Xian also ask him something like this?
Seeing Li Xian looking a little drunk, Li Xuan cursed in his heart, are you really drunk?
Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the lotus pond in front of him, leaning on the railing with one hand and a look of hesitation on his face.
The relationship between Li Xuan and Li Xian is not close, but they came to perform due to the instructions of the Second Saint.
He didn't want to get involved in the dispute between Empress Wu and Li Xian, but now that Li Xian directly brought it up, Li Xuan couldn't refuse it directly.
Looking up and looking around, Li Xuan keenly noticed that he and Li Xian were really the only two people in the entire back pavilion.
Even all other guards, both overt and covert, were driven far away.
It seemed that Li Xian was well prepared.
After thinking for a moment, Li Xuan turned her head and spoke in a low voice: "His Highness has been staying in the East Palace for some time, but I don't know if you remember that in Qianyuan Hall that day, His Highness promised your Majesty and the Queen to give birth to Lin'er as soon as possible, so that they can give birth to Lin'er as soon as possible. The queen of heaven has a house full of children and grandchildren."
Li Xuan clicked a little, and Li Xian understood it immediately.
Taking advantage of the family relationship between ancestors and grandchildren, Empress Wu allowed more attention to be diverted from government affairs.
After all, neither Li Xian, Li Xian, nor Li Dan, nor the deceased filial emperor Li Hong, had any sons of their own.
In other words, Empress Wu has not had her own grandson until now.
Empress Wu is already over fifty, so it is inevitable that Empress Wu will not be soft-hearted towards her eldest grandson.
"I've learned a lesson." Li Xian nodded seriously.
"Your Highness, this is a law of nature. It can only work for a while. Your Highness, please take the time to familiarize yourself with government affairs, so that you can avoid making mistakes." Li Xuan made a final comment, but it seemed that he said more. What sentence.
Li Xian nodded seriously. He just needed a moment of relaxation now.
With a light look on his face, Li Xian turned around and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang has famous poems left in Yangzhou, Hangzhou and Wuzhou. Even the day before yesterday, a beautiful little poem was leaked. His literary talent is so admirable that he will be here in a few days." It’s Uncle Wang’s wedding day, so I hope to see more of Uncle Wang’s grace.”
It is now fashionable for the groom to recite makeup urging poems loudly when he comes to the bride’s home to urge the bride to dress up as soon as possible.
"Where is the famous poem? I just wrote it out of emotion. I am not good at literature and art. Your Highness should know it." Li Xuan had a look of helplessness on his face. He himself did not have much interest in developing in the literary world. He wrote poems a few times. It's just a matter of chance.
"That's what makes it more sincere, Uncle Wang, please!" Li Xian raised his wine glass again.
The black carriage swayed into Prince Peng's Mansion. The carriage stopped, and Li Xuan, who was somewhat drunk, was helped out of the carriage.
Princess Peng Ouyang quickly came up to her. Seeing Li Xuan's appearance, she couldn't help but frown and said, "Why did you drink so much?"
"Mother!" Li Xuan tried her best to stand still, her expression relaxed a little, and she said with cupped hands: "The prince is treating us, so I have to drink a few more drinks, and besides, I didn't drink much."
Seeing that although Li Xuan was a little confused, she could still control herself, Ouyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go back to the house and rest quickly. Relatives and friends will come to visit in two days."
"I understand." Li Xuan's expression became solemn, and then she bowed towards Ouyang and said, "Go back."
Li Xuan excused herself, and Mrs. Ouyang said to the maid beside her: "Ask the kitchen to make two bowls of wild rice soup and send them over to relieve the hangover."
"Here!"
Li Zhu sent Li Xuan to the bedroom. Qiqiao took Qiyu, Qihua, Sijin, and Ruyu to help Li Xuan take off his coat and wipe his face. At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. sounded.
When Li Xuan heard the familiar footsteps, she said directly without raising her head: "You five, go out first and hold the door. No one is allowed in."
Li Xuan's voice was calm and sober, and she didn't look drunk at all.
Qiqiao immediately understood that Li Xuan was pretending to be drunk, and waved to the other people, and the maids immediately retreated.
Li Xuan let out a long breath, and the breath rushed out directly from the open window.
After taking a sip of tea, Li Xuan turned to look at Yu Ze.
Yu Ze held up the memorial in his hand, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this is a letter of thanks written by my subordinates. The Queen of Heaven has a decree to grant the king a thousand households. Your Majesty has an decree to grant the Imperial Mansion of Zhongnan Mountain. One, and some other rewards were sent to the Zuo Xiang’s mansion.”
Li Xuan took the memorial, glanced at it, then put it aside, looked at Yu Ze solemnly, and said, "Uncle Yu, when do you think the imperial court will use troops against Tubo."
"It should be after the spring planting. Tubo is bitter and cold, and winter and spring are not good. April is the best. This was the case during the Battle of Dafeichuan." Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan in surprise and asked, "Today we talked about the war against Tubo. About using troops?"
"The Queen of Heaven, Your Majesty, and the Crown Prince all asked me about this matter, which shows how seriously I take it!" Li Xuan sighed softly and told everything about what happened to the king today.
After listening to what Li Xuan said, Yu Ze said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, what the Queen of Heaven and the Saint said are the key to Tibet. Although the Tianyin Sect has died, the King of the Western Regions and the King of the East China Sea still exist, especially the King of the East China Sea, whose identity is secret. Once he gets involved with the King of the Western Regions, he will definitely threaten the army in the future; as for the Saint, the Saint considers more issues of warfare, or money and food. The prince seems to be paying attention to this too."
Li Xuan nodded, knocked on the desk, and said softly: "Although the identity of the King of East China Sea is still secret, since the Tianyin Sect was destroyed, Shi Yin must have found many relevant clues. How to capture him is Shi Yin It’s up to the real person... I’m afraid the Demon Sect won’t be stable either. They’ve always been good at winning over corrupt officials, but it’s inevitable to have less hands and feet. The real person Shi Yin is very courageous.”
After a pause, Li Xuan continued: "As for money and food, Your Majesty should have some plans. Han Shenjun was transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he is probably busy with these things. This matter has nothing to do with us. We are in the southeast. If you can, hide away from the central affairs."
Li Xuan didn't want to get involved in the treacherous dispute between the government and the opposition within a few days of getting married.
When talking about Tubo before, it was mainly because of his outstanding military achievements in Wuzhou that he could not avoid it. However, when talking about the dispute between the prince and the queen, Li Xuan was somewhat plotted by Li Xian.
Today's new prince is not a good person.
