Daming Palace, inside Zhaoxun Gate, is the official office of Zuojinwu Guard.
Teams of Jinwu guards held long spears and patrolled back and forth neatly.
In the duty room on the east side, Li Xuan pushed open the door and entered. At the beginning, he saw Ming Chongyan standing behind the desk.
There was originally the position of Jinwu Guard General Cheng Chubi, but now, Cheng Chubi was nowhere to be seen, and instead Ming Chongyan appeared in his place.
The surprise on Li Xuan's face flashed away, but then he walked to the center of the check-in room, solemnly raised his hands to Ming Chongyan who unexpectedly appeared, and said, "Li Xuan has met the real person Shi Yin."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome." Ming Chongyan waved his fly whisk casually and gave Li Xuan a simple salute, and then asked with a hint of surprise: "The King of Nanchang doesn't seem too surprised to see Pindao?"
Li Xuan nodded calmly and said calmly: "Guangping County Duke is on duty at the palace, so why don't you come to see Xiao Wang when you have time?"
Whether in Luoyang Palace or Chang'an Palace, Cheng Chubi is always the first person to guard the palace gate.
So even if something happened, he would not come to see Li Xuan.
Ming Chongyan was a little stunned, and then nodded and said: "The King of Nanchang is very keen. In this case, it is not in vain for Pindao to bring the prince here."
"Transferred?" Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Sir, although Xiao Wang has the post of Inspector Qian Niu Guards, the Saint and the Queen have already made a decree. After Xiao Wang's wedding, this Inspector Zuo Qian I will be removed from the post of General of the Cow Guard."
Li Xuan originally took up the position of inspecting the Qianniu Guard Zhonglang General just to target the Tianyin Sect.
Now that the Tianyin Sect is dead, even if there are still people like the King of the East China Sea and the King of the West Region, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.
Fundamentally, these people are careerists with their own agendas. Whether Tianyin Sect exists or not has little to do with them.
Therefore, Li Xuan, the commander-in-chief of Zuo Qianniu Guards, should have been dismissed directly on the first day he entered Chang'an.
That is to say, it was because of Li Xuan's wedding that the emperor and empress were considerate so that it can be preserved to this day.
So during this period of time, Li Xuan didn't touch anything about Qian Niuwei. He had this consciousness, but now...
Li Xuan frowned and looked at Ming Chongyan, "What's going on? Is he, the Inspector Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang, still here?"
"Your Majesty must already know what happened last night, right?" Ming Chongyan suddenly changed his words, his expression becoming serious without realizing it.
It turned out to be what happened last night when Ashina Nishuge and Ashina Gana ran away.
Li Xuan drooped her eyelids and shook her head calmly: "I got married last night and had a few drinks with the real person. How is the situation? The real person knows better than Xiao Wang. After getting up this morning, he entered the palace not long after. On the way Although I have heard one or two rumors, they are just rumors... There was a fire in the city last night, but in Chang'an Xiongcheng, the autumn air is crisp, so it is normal for a fire to happen."
Seeing Li Xuan's last act of pretending to be calm and indifferent, Ming Chongyan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
What happened last night is not as simple as it seems. In the entire Chang'an City alone, more than a dozen places were on fire at the same time, and the fire was extremely violent.
Not to mention, there were supposed to be two places where there would have been a fire, and then there was an eerie silent calm at the end.
Of these two places, one is Prince Peng's Mansion and the other is Lecheng County Government Mansion.
Ming Chongyan didn't think this was a coincidence. You should know that yesterday, the prince of Nanchang County married the granddaughter of left prime minister Liu Rengui. Although it was not publicized and not much was known to ordinary people, no one in the official circles did not pay attention to it. ..
Deeply favored by the Queen of Heaven and the saints, the current king of the county who had just put down the Tianyin religious rebellion in Wuzhou married the granddaughter of Shangshu Zuopushe. Who would not care about such a major event.
Not to mention, almost everyone from the royal family, distinguished relatives, and officials from the government and the public were present at this wedding.
Although we went to different places, we reached almost everything we could.
If during this wedding, Prince Peng's palace and Zuo Xiang's palace caught fire at the same time, under the eyes of countless royal family members, meritorious relatives, and officials from both the government and the public, it would definitely cause a huge sensation.
When the time comes, not only will they be taken advantage of, but even the reputations of the King of Nanchang and the Left Prime Minister will suffer a huge blow.
But in the end, nothing happened.
There was no fire, neither in Prince Peng's Mansion nor in Zuo Xiang's Mansion.
This made the fire-fighting team prepared in advance by Ming Chongyan suddenly useless.
Yes, everything last night was under Ming Chongyan's control, but there were too many unexpected things in the end.
Not only did the palaces of the King of Nanchang and Zuo Xiang not catch fire at all, but even the final targets to be captured were all missed, and even...
"Prince Peng's Mansion is heavily guarded. This kind of thing will naturally not affect Prince Peng's Mansion." Ming Chongyan gave Li Xuan a deep look.
Those people must have started at Nanchang Prince's Mansion and Zuoxiang's Mansion, but in the end they were defeated by the guards of Nanchang Prince's Mansion and Zuoxiang's Mansion.
The inside story must be like this, but Ming Chongyan didn't know what method was used.
And Prince Peng's Mansion and Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion are not so easy to investigate.
"The prince has arrived, as well as all the royal family members. No matter whose family you are, you must be cautious." Li Xuan lowered his head slightly, as if he had admitted something, but it seemed that he had not admitted anything.
Ming Chongyan knew that there was no point in getting entangled in this matter, so he directly showed his cards.
"Last night, while the fire broke out, General Ashina Nishugui, the commander of the left guard, and Ashina Gana, the commander of the right guard, fled Chang'an." Ming Chongyan's face immediately became serious, and he raised his head. He started to look at Li Xuan who was standing in the room.
Li Xuan suddenly took a breath and said with disbelief: "Ashna Nishugo, the grandson of Tuli Khan; Ashina Gana, the grandson of Jieli Khan, have all escaped? Real person?" , do the Turks plan to reestablish the royal court?"
Seeing Li Xuan's feigned shock, Ming Chongyan immediately clenched his fists, but in an instant he became extremely calm.
He looked at Li Xuan with a faint look and said: "I am about to conquer Tibet in the west. If the Turks stab me in the back at this time, the King of Nanchang should know how painful it is."
"Indeed." Li Xuan nodded solemnly, then looked up at Ming Chongyan, and said with some confusion: "The Turkic incident is indeed serious, but Chang'an is tightly defended, and the Turkic royal family has always been the focus of the court, so what? Can they escape successfully?"
Li Xuan was really puzzled.
This matter was obviously handled secretly by Ming Chongyan from the beginning.
With his methods, everything last night should be under his control. Why did someone run away in the end?
Ashina Yun appeared around Li Xuan again and again. Even Li Xuan noticed something was wrong, and it was impossible for Ming Chongyan to be ignorant.
People from Jinwu Guard and Dali Temple followed her to Prince Peng's Mansion, and they all followed her closely.
But the current situation is that the two grandsons of Turkic Khan Tuli and Jieli ran away.
what on earth is it?
You must know that they are all the Ashina royal family. Once they return to the Turks, with a call, the entire twenty states in the North will respond.
Ming Chongyan would understand the consequences, but how could he create such a big trap?
Seeing the surprised look on Li Xuan's face, although Ming Chongyan knew that he did it on purpose, he still couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Taking a deep breath secretly, Ming Chongyan calmed down and said calmly: "Behind the Turks are the Tibetan people who are supporting them, and there are also the remnants of the Tianyin Sect who are involved. It is inevitable that something went wrong."
Li Xuan's expression also calmed down. He looked at Ming Chongyan and said in a deep voice: "Zhenren, Qianniu Guard, Jinwu Guard, and even Dali Temple are all talented people. Although Xiao Wang is small and capable, but now this matter, It’s not Xiao Wang’s turn to intervene anyway, right?”
How could Li Xuan not understand that Ming Chongyan called him here today just to dump this matter on him, so how could he rush to pick it up.
When he was in Luoyang, Li Xuan just intervened at the right time. But when he arrived in Chang'an, there were countless talents in the Qianniu Guard and Jinwu Guard. In Dali Temple, there was even Di Renjie, a figure with great talent and strategy. Is this it? Ming Chongyan was still worried that he would not be able to be found.
Or maybe he doesn't know what Di Renjie is capable of?
bright
Chongyan did not answer Li Xuan directly. He picked up an imperial edict from the table beside him and threw it gently. The edict immediately fell into Li Xuan's arms.
Li Xuan frowned, but still opened the imperial edict in front of Ming Chongyan.
"...The King of Nanchang, Li Xuan, was removed from the post of Inspector Zuo Qianniu, the General of the Guard, and appointed the King of Nanchang, the Inspector Zuo Jinwu, the General of the Guard..."
Li Xuan couldn't believe it, but he was indeed appointed to inspect the Zuojinwu Guard Zhonglang General later.
"This appointment will accompany the prince back to Wuzhou. Presumably, it will be more convenient for the prince to work in Wuzhou." Ming Chongyan directly gave the price.
Li Xuan raised his head and glanced at Ming Chongyan, then lowered his head to look at the imperial edict.
This imperial edict was signed by the Queen of Heaven. Although the emperor's seal was used in the end, the accurate words were the words of the Queen of Heaven.
Does this mean that he should succeed Qiu Shenji?
"Master, I want to know why I have to do this?" Li Xuan looked embarrassed. He didn't want to get involved in this matter, but the imperial edict was already in his hands.
Ming Chongyan glanced at Li Xuan with deep meaning, and then said lightly: "Actually, it has nothing to do with him. It's just because this matter involves too many people. Although only two people from the Turkic royal family escaped, but in the Tang Dynasty, The Turkic royal family is not limited to the two of them, so we need the Tang royal family to step forward and suppress the situation... Besides, the prince's abilities are well known, and he will definitely be able to capture those people."
Li Xuan's brows were lowered, and there was still hesitation on his face.
This is a trouble. If you do well, you won't get much reward. If you do poorly, you will get a lot of trouble. But equally, no matter if you do well or poorly, this is an opportunity.
An opportunity to infiltrate Jinwuwei and Dali Temple with his own power.
"How many people can I mobilize?" Li Xuan raised his head and stared at Ming Chongyan like a sword.
"Dali Temple, Chang'an Wannian Second County, Yongzhou Prefecture, Zuo Qianniu Guard, Zuo Jinwu Guard, the prince can dispatch them. No matter who is involved, if there is solid evidence, the prince can arrest them immediately." At this point, Ming Chong Yan solemnly emphasized: "Anyone can catch him first and report later."
It would be nice to have Dali Temple.
Li Xuan put away the imperial edict, looked at Ming Chongyan, and said seriously: "I have one more condition."
Ming Chongyan breathed a sigh of relief at this time and said, "King Nanchang, please speak."
"Trouble the real person to persuade the queen to promote Xue Gong, the governor of Daizhou, to the governor of Daizhou. In the current situation, Chang'an is no longer the focus, the focus is Northland." Li Xuan looked at Ming Chongyan, and the conditions he proposed were only for Ming Chongyan.
Although Xue Rengui, the governor of Daizhou, is acting as the governor of Daizhou, he is not the governor of Daizhou after all. His influence in the northern states of Shanxi is limited after all. Now that the chaos in the north is imminent, promoting Xue Rengui to the governor of Daizhou is the fastest and most labor-saving solution to the problem. method.
Ming Chongyan nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The imperial edict to promote Pingyang County Duke to Daizhou Governor has been sent out this morning."
"In this case, Xiao Wang accepts the order." Li Xuan accepted the order.
Seeing Li Xuan turn around and leave, Ming Chongyan couldn't help but press his eyebrows, and finally threw this hot potato away.
The Turks were indeed not a big problem, but there were so many people involved in this case that even Ming Chongyan couldn't help but feel a headache, so he could only temporarily pull Li Xuan to take over.
However, this King of Nanchang is not a simple person. He did not see through the mystery before he tried it. Just one condition reduced the impact of this matter to the extreme.
