Standing at the door, sending Qin Jun away who was about to continue patrolling, Li Xuan took a breath and looked quite emotional.
He, Qin Jun, and Li Xian were the three who played best when they were young.
Li Xian is the best at playing. When Wang Bo was dismissed from the Pei Palace, he had a share of the credit.
It's a pity that Li Xuan was not in Chang'an at that time.
Li Xuan doesn't like to play much. Among the three, he is more of a planner. The one who actually fights is Qin Jun.
Young friends, the friendship is still there.
Just as Li Xuan was about to turn around and go back home, two young figures came riding on horseback in front of him.
Li Xuan quickly stopped, and when the two dismounted, he quickly stepped forward and handed over his hands: "Erlang, Sanlang, why are you here?"
After Lai Sui, the two brothers Lai Qian hurriedly put their hands together and bowed: "I have met the King, congratulations to the King."
"Okay, my brothers, please come inside." Li Xuan winked at Li Zhu who was standing aside, and then led the two of them into a remote wing.
"We haven't seen each other for several months. Your Majesty has become much more stable." After Laisui sat down, he immediately praised him.
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and scolded with a smile: "Well, you're a newbie, you don't know how to speak well, do you?"
"The king has made many military exploits in the southeast, so I really admire him. I knew I should have gone to Wuzhou with the king." There was a trace of regret on Lai Sui's face.
Many officials in Wuzhou were promoted and rewarded for their merits because of that battle.
Even a person like Huang Jin, who had little involvement, was still a county magistrate despite being transferred to Muzhou.
Seeing the envious look on Lai Qian's face, Li Xuan looked at him with disdain and said, "If you are willing not to be a member of the Ministry of War, I will definitely not mind wiping out the Tianyin Sect again."
Before coming to Sui, he served as the prince's minister in the palace. After Li Xian became the prince, all the positions of the prince's minister were given to the dignitaries who followed him. Laisui was transferred to the position of Wailang, a member of the Ministry of War.
Although Wailang, a member of the Ministry of War, is not as critical as the prince's sacrifice, Wailang, a member of the Ministry of War, holds real power.
Lai Sui smiled sarcastically.
"But having said that, I thought you could only come tomorrow. Isn't the Ministry of War very busy recently?" Li Xuan nodded slightly.
Laisui shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's not my turn to deal with the affairs in Tubo. Although the negotiations in Silla have reached a deadlock, the tone of withdrawing troops remains unchanged, and there is not much going on for the time being."
"That's it." Li Xuan understood immediately.
"Anyway, it's nothing. Is it okay for our brothers to help you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow to receive the dowry?" Lai Sui looked at Li Xuan with a half-smile.
"Of course, you can't ask for it." Li Xuan glanced sideways at Lai Qian, who immediately understood and said, "Third brother, go find your classmates. Brother and the king still have some things to discuss. "
At this time, Lai Qian raised his head and looked at Li Xuan. He was following Li Xuan's boat back from Runzhou.
There were many scholars from Wuzhou, Hangzhou, and Yangzhou who went to Beijing together on the ship, and everyone got along well with each other.
Li Xuan nodded, Lai Qian immediately cupped his hands and said, "Follow the order."
After Lai Xuan moved away, Li Xuan looked at Lai Sui and said apologetically: "I feel sorry for Erlang. I searched all over the Tianyin General Altar but couldn't find any Kung Fu inheritance related to Lai Sui." .”
"Brother Yu had expected it." Laisui sighed and said, "Maybe it might have been destroyed a long time ago."
"Brother Yu can't help much. Here is a collection of internal and external exercises." Li Xuan took out a blue-covered secret book from his sleeve and handed it to Lai Sui, saying, "Brother Yu once fought against Wen Fuzhi, and it records his All the moves he has used, but the Frost Neijin Brother he used cannot be used. There is only a copy of the Tianyin True Technique practiced by the senior leaders of the Tianyin Sect. I don’t know if it is suitable for use."
"Oh?" Lai Sui immediately couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Although these things Li Xuan created are not as good as the original version of the Lai family's inheritance, they are undoubtedly very effective. Even combined with the remaining things from the Lai family, it can be concluded that The closest thing to a set.
Laisui took it solemnly, and at the same time bowed deeply to Li Xuan, and said: "Lai Jia has recorded the favor of the king. If there is any need in the future, Lai Jia will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Erlang was joking, I just did everything casually." Li Xuan waved her hand indifferently.
Now he doesn't ask much for Laijia, but as long as Laijia remembers him as a favor, then with Huangmen Shilang Laiheng at the center, even if someone wants to do something against him, he must take three points into consideration. .
Although Li Xuan's father-in-law Liu Rengui is now the minister Zuopushe, once the two families are officially married, Liu Rengui will have to avoid anything about Li Xuan.
Others may not add insult to injury for his sake, but it is unlikely that they would directly come forward to help.
If Huangmen Shilang Laiheng came forward to speak at this time, things would be much easier to handle.
"By the way, Twenty-seventh Lang, Brother Yu remembered something." After a short pause, Lai Sui said seriously: "The Huang family will also get married in the day after tomorrow, so please be careful."
"Huang family, which Huang family?" Li Xuan couldn't help but be stunned.
"Who else could it be from the Huang family? Of course it was the Jiangxia Huang family. The Jiangxia Huang family that Liu Sanniang was originally going to marry. The second son of the Liu family who was originally engaged to Liu Sanniang died in infancy. Now several years have passed and the three sons of the Huang family have grown up and will be married in the future. Get married." Lai Sui was a little unsure and said hesitantly, "Brother, I don't know if there is any ulterior motive here, but the Huang family is also scheduled to get married on the ninth day of September. What a coincidence."
"Brother Yu never believes in coincidences. All coincidences come from careful arrangements." A sneer appeared on Li Xuan's face. The Huang family is trying to cause trouble!
Thinking of this, Li Xuan cupped her hands towards Lai Sui and said, "Thank you, brother. Remember, little brother, please give me your instructions if you have anything to do in the future."
"Brothers, you don't have to be so polite." Laisui waved his hand nonchalantly.
Compared with the incident where Li Xuan helped come home, this matter is not worth mentioning at all.
In the study, Yu Ze frowned and looked at Li Xuan, and said analytically: "The Huang family of Jiangxia has a long history, but in this dynasty, there is only one person who has ever established himself in the court, and that is the man who was once named the Duke of Guo. Huang Junhan, the former governor of Kuizhou."
Li Xuan stood at the window, looking at the yellow patches outside the window, and then listened to Yu Ze continue.
"The Duke of Guo passed away in the sixth year of Zhenguan. The current head of the family is his eldest son Huang Heshou, the governor of Lingzhou. The person engaged to the Liu family is the second son General Youwei and the second son of Wuchang County Duke Huang Heshang. Three years ago, Wuchang The Duke's second son died in infancy, and now the third son of the Huang family, Huang Chengxu, is getting married. It's strange that the third son of the Huang family is only fifteen years old, so why are they getting married in such a hurry."
"That's the problem." Li Xuan shook his head and whispered: "If the Huang family does this, if there is no accident, they will definitely notify the left prime minister. This is a slap in the face. Although the Huang family now has a governor of a state and a general of the bodyguard, but There is no need to be so tit-for-tat with the left prime minister. Although Yue Weng has tempered his temper because of his old age, he is not a kind person. Is the Huang family going to injure itself by a thousand and hurt the enemy by eight hundred?"
"That's not all." Yu Ze raised his head and glanced at Li Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, in addition to offending the left prime minister, the Huang family has not been favored by all the central ministers. The most important thing is that the Huang family has also offended the prince. , offended the entire royal family, and even offended His Majesty."
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly and said, "Indeed, I will not let them go. Now, aren't we just discussing ways to target them?"
Li Xuan raised her head, looked at the sunset in the distance, and whispered: "If this king and Yue Weng are both slapped in the face, there is no need for the royal family and the ministers to take action. Your Majesty will punish them severely, and even the Queen. .”
Empress Wu originally planned to let Wu Chengsi take this opportunity to make good friends with the nobles of Chang'an. If something went wrong in this matter, someone would connect him with Wu Chengsi, and then there would be rumors about Helan...
Li Xuan put an end to this idea in an instant. He had countless ways to deal with Wu Chengsi, and there was no need to use such a method of injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging himself by eight hundred.
Nowadays, his most important thing is his wedding, and everything must give way before his wedding.
"Let our people keep an eye on the Huang family and check. The Huang family
What's going on? "Li Xuan looked at Yu Ze and said with some uncertainty: "We can all see the danger, the inheritance of the Huang family, there is no reason why we can't see it, there is something fishy in it."
After a slight pause, Li Xuan said coldly: "Between aristocratic families, grievances are nothing. Gains and losses are the most important. This is something that every patriarch of aristocratic families must understand. I am afraid they have some compelling reasons for doing this. "
"Then let me make arrangements first." Seeing Li Xuan nod, Yu Ze quickly left the study.
This is Chang'an. Compared with Luoyang, although Prince Peng's Mansion has declined, various relationships have penetrated into every corner decades ago. Although many relationships have been severed since Prince Peng passed away.
However, after the re-emergence of the Nanchang Palace, many lines have been reconnected. Even with the help of these lines, Li Xuan has also laid out many unknown secret lines. Although it is not possible to say that everything is known, but what does Li Xuan want to investigate? You can find out soon.
Walking back to the desk, Li Xuan thought about what Yu Ze had said about the Huang family.
The Duke of Guo, Huang Junhan, died early. Now the head of the Huang family is his eldest son, Huang Heshou, the governor of Lingzhou, and his second son, Youwei General Huang Heshang's youngest son, Huang Chengxu, is getting married...
Li Xuan's fingers were tracing randomly on the desk. Suddenly his fingers stopped and he immediately found the entire Tang Dynasty map from under the desk, and quickly flipped to the location of Lingzhou.
Lingzhou, Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Shanzhou, Suzhou, Tubo, and Turks.
Li Xuan's face instantly turned ugly.
Although Lingzhou belongs to the Guannai Road, it is one of the most powerful supports for the long and narrow Longyou Road.
The terrain here is very dangerous, with Tubo in the south and Turks in the north. Although there are several state barriers in front, it is still within the influence of Tubo and Turks.
Once Lingzhou is cut off, the entire Longyou Road may be in danger, and even the entire Silk Road from the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions is at risk of being cut off.
It is said that Lingzhou is such an important place, and the governor of Lingzhou is a top priority. How could something happen so easily?
Moreover, even if something happens, many officials under Lingzhou will report it as soon as possible, so it cannot be so silent.
Li Xuan was very reluctant to believe his own judgment, but the problem was that something was wrong with the Huang family now.
