The waning moon was like a hook and the weather was freezing. Li Xuan flipped through the white book in front of her with a solemn expression.
The white book and the yellow book are used to register the household registrations and farmland of common people, but the white book is only used to register the household registration and land registration of officials.
Li Niannian is a professor in the Yangzhou Prefecture. His father is Li Xiyu, a commoner. He is the former Duke of Ankang County, the governor of Yangzhou, and the Jiangnan Inspection Ambassador. His elder brother Li Huaien is the former Zuo Zhanshi of the Prince Zhanshifu.
Li Xizhi, Duke of Shi'an County, Shangzhu State, Doctor Guanglu, brother Li Xiyu, uncle Li Xiannian.
Li Huaiyan, Li Xizhizi, was the minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Li Xuansi, Li Xinzhizi, was the general of the North Gate Imperial Army.
Yu Ze stood on one side, silent.
After a long time, Li Xuan couldn't help but chuckle and whispered: "It turned out to be the clan, and in the end he was involved with the clan."
Li Xuan started, and Yu Ze slightly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Ankang was expelled from his rank many years ago and demoted to a commoner. He is no longer a member of the Tang Dynasty clan."
"But his brother is still right!" Li Xuan took a deep breath, it was very difficult.
Li Xizhi's family was not from the Li clan in Yangzhou, but from the Li clan in Longxi, and later settled in Yangzhou.
His father, the late Ankang County Duke Li Jingyou, was a native of Di Dao in Longxi and was the former governor of Taizhou in the Sui Dynasty.
Li Jingyou has two sons.
The eldest son Li Xizhi was born as a commoner. During the Daye period, he started his career as the county magistrate of Shi'an County. Later, he surrendered to Xiao Mian and was named the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the general manager of Guizhou. After returning to Li Tang, he was awarded the title of Governor of Guizhou.
Li Xizhi stayed in Guilin for twenty-eight years. He served as Duke of Shi'an County, Doctor of Guanglu, and Governor of Fenzhou. He originally lived in Chang'an and later moved to Hangzhou.
The second son, Li Xiyu, was the legitimate son. During the Wude period, he was appointed as Taifu Shaoqing and Ankang County Duke. He was promoted to the governor of Yangzhou several times and Jiangnan Inspection Ambassador. He entered the court and served as Taifuqing, and was later promoted to the general manager of Liangzhou. He was appointed governor of Tongzhou.
Later, he was deposed as a civilian for some reason and was exiled to Quanzhou, where he died.
Li Xizhi had two sons. The eldest son, Li Huaiyan, is currently the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the second son, Li Xuansi, is the lieutenant of the North Gate Imperial Army.
Li Xiyu also had only two sons. The eldest son, Li Huaien, was the Zuo Zhanshi of the former crown prince Zhanshifu. He died of illness during the Zhenguan period. The second son, Li Niannian, is now a professor in Yangzhou Prefecture.
"The Duke of Shi'an is staying in Yangzhou now, probably just to keep an eye on Li Niannian. However, he probably never imagined that this person would be connected with the descendants of Prince Yin Jiancheng." Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a trace of it. Tricky.
Many things here are unclear, but judging from the fact that Li Niannian is now connected with the King of East China Sea, his brother Li Huaien's position at that time was probably closely related to Prince Yin.
Even the fact that his father, Duke Ankang, was deposed as a commoner and was exiled to Quanzhou where he died was inseparable from Prince Yin.
"Your Majesty, now Li Niannian is just a professor of state studies. He shouldn't be able to make any big waves. At most, he can only deliver news for the King of East China Sea." Yu Ze stepped forward to comfort him.
"It's not that simple, Uncle Yu, you have overlooked an important factor, the Yangzhou Li family." Li Xuan sighed softly and said, "The Yangzhou Li family is different from the Zhaojun Li family. They are closely related to the Longxi Li family. Many of them are still on the clan's household register and hold many official posts in the court."
Compared to the royal clans such as Li Xuan, although the Yangzhou Li family is a little more marginal, it is more likely to be valued by the court. The emperor mostly promotes these people to the clan. .
Li Xuan raised her head and looked at Yu Ze: "Although the four great families in Yangzhou are the Shen family, the Xu family, the Lu family, and the Meng family, the real first family should be the Yangzhou Li family, but they have always kept a low profile."
Now that the Tang Dynasty is in power, the descendants of the Li family have long been scattered in every corner of the world. While eating away at the world, they are also consolidating the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
Although the Li family in Yangzhou did not have high official positions, they were all in some prominent positions.
For example, Li Xuan came back to visit Li Shan last time.
Li Shan, the son of Li Yuanzhe, the former magistrate of Kuocang County in Kuozhou, started out as a secretary, and later became the magistrate of Jingcheng County. He moved to Chongwen Hall as a bachelor, became a Lantai Lang, was promoted to a direct bachelor of Chongxian Hall, joined the army in Prince Lu's Palace, and served as Prince Pei's servant. read.
King Pei is the current crown prince Li Xian.
Unfortunately
Li Shan was once recommended by He Lanminzhi, but was later implicated and exiled to Lingnan.
If this had not happened, once Li Xian ascended the throne, Li Shan would inevitably have the position of prime minister.
The Yangzhou Li family was investing in Li Xian, but although this investment failed, it was also because it avoided the threat of being uprooted later.
"Although the entire Yangzhou Li family is not prominent, the family business has already penetrated into every aspect. If Li Huai'en did something through the Yangzhou Li family, it would be difficult to detect it for a while."
Li Xuan looked up at Yu Ze, with a solemn look on his face, and said, "Send an order to investigate all personnel relationships and industrial connections of the Li family in Yangzhou. I want to know the maximum damage they can do."
"Here!" Li Xuan immediately handed over his hand.
Li Xuan nodded, and then added: "Also, send a greeting card to Mr. Li's residence. I will visit him in person tomorrow."
"Here!" Yu Ze quickly turned around and left.
Li Xuan's eyes narrowed, Yangzhou Li's matter must be resolved, and it must be resolved as soon as possible.
Li Xuan had a feeling that if she ignored the Li family in Yangzhou, she might be in trouble.
Especially in Yangzhou.
Suddenly, a burst of footsteps sounded outside the door. Li Xuan frowned and looked up, and saw Zhou Qian appearing at the door with a solemn face.
Li Xuan's heart skipped a beat and she immediately asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhou Qian immediately held up his hands and said solemnly: "The Lord of Yongchang County was just assassinated?"
"Huh?" Li Xuan stood up immediately, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
Just as he was about to take a step, Yu Ze couldn't help but hold him back: "Your Majesty, this is not for Miss Liang, this is for Your Majesty, be careful!"
Li Xuan paused, took a deep breath, and said, "Send the order, all members of the Qianniu Guard must gather and rush to the Yongchang County Lord's Mansion."
"Here!" Zhou Qian cupped his hands and turned around immediately.
Li Xuan turned around, looked at Yu Ze, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send an order that Yangzhou Prefecture will impose a curfew half an hour earlier tonight. After the curfew, officials and civilians who violate the prohibition will be arrested immediately. If there is resistance, no matter who they are, they will be arrested and killed; Send an order to Xinlin Prefecture to attack Du Wei Shi Jin, mobilize the troops of the headquarters, and immediately blockade Shanshanfang."
The residence of Li Xizhi, Duke of Shi'an County, is Shanshanfang.
After Yu Ze quickly returned to his desk, he had written orders one after another in the blink of an eye.
Li Xuan directly signed and sealed these orders without any hesitation.
Putting the deputy envoy's seal back into the seal box, Li Xuan said in a deep voice: "Send a copy of all orders to Dou Changshi."
"Here!" Yu Ze immediately handed over his hand.
"Originally, I was still considering how to deal with it so as to have the least impact on Duke Shi'an. But now it seems that I really can't relax for a moment." Li Xuan's face showed a hint of cruelty.
After all, the Duke of Shi'an County made great contributions to the court. His two sons, one was appointed as the Minister of Rites, and the other was appointed as the Lieutenant General of the Forbidden Army. They were both important ministers in the court.
Li Xuan didn't want to make everything too ugly, but at this point, it was no longer his choice.
Seeing Li Xuan turn around and walk into the inner room, Yu Ze couldn't help but sigh, but his expression turned relaxed.
Because only doing this now is the best for Li Xuan.
The clan is sometimes a help and sometimes a resistance.
"Dang, dang, dang," the sound of bells and drums reverberated throughout Yangzhou City.
The people in Yangzhou City were suddenly shocked. What was going on? Why was the curfew advanced?
It has been many years since the curfew in Yangzhou Prefecture was passed in advance.
At this moment, a loud sound of horse hooves sounded on the street.
Immediately afterwards, a group of Qianniu Guards in red clothes and golden armor appeared on the street.
The armor is bright, the blades are sharp, and the murderous look is so murderous that people can't help but recall what happened a few months ago.
This was how the King of Nanchang eradicated the cancer in Caogang when he visited Yangzhou earlier. Now...
The King of Nanchang seems to have arrived in Yangzhou again now.
Who else is he targeting?
Why are there no soldiers from Yangzhou Prefecture following him this time?
Because last time, Li Xuan was just a passerby, but this time, he was an imperial envoy with the power to kill first and report later.
Li Xuan is riding on a tall horse, wearing red clothes and golden armor. On either side are Cui Ding and Zhou Qian, followed by Su Baotong and Zhang Huan, and a whole team of Qianniu Guards.
Jinwu Guard Li Xuan brought a Cui Ding. After all, Jinwu Guard did not have the authority to arrest rebels in other states. This was the right of Qianniu Guard.
The strong wind passed by his ears, and Li Xuan's expression had completely calmed down.
Why would someone assassinate Liang Fuling? Who wanted to assassinate Liang Fuling? Why at this juncture?
Li Xuan remembered that Yu Ze grabbed his arm before leaving, with a worried look on his face. There was no doubt that anyone could see that this assassination was aimed at him.
In the assassination of Liang Fuling, someone was trying to anger Li Xuan and take the opportunity to do something at the same time.
In other words, when Li Xuan is angry, all his actions may be calculated by the other party.
In an instant, Li Xuan figured out what the other party wanted to do.
After all, Li Xuan is also an expert in these methods.
He completely calmed down in an instant.
His right hand slowly dropped to the hilt of the sword at his waist.
The officers from Yongchang Bo's Mansion and Yangzhou Governor's Mansion had already arrived first.
Apart from them, Li Xuan's Qianniu Guards were the second to arrive, not even Shi Jin.
"Your Majesty, Yongchang County Lord was hit by a sword in the back, but the injury was not serious. Now he has been bandaged and is resting." Wu Xiang, the Facao of Yangzhou Governor's Mansion, led Li Xuan towards the depths of the mansion.
Li Xuan nodded slightly and said calmly: "The Lady of Yongchang County is a fifth-rank lady. She just returned from Wuzhou not long ago. She is a quiet person and doesn't go out much. She doesn't have any enemies in Yangzhou."
Having said this, Li Xuan raised his eyes and looked at Wu Xiang and said: "Is the security of Yangzhou Prefecture already so bad? In the past, there were Cao Gangs who stole and sold women and smuggled arms. Now, a royal wife has been attacked. Wu joins the army. You I'm afraid this Fa Cao will end up in the army if he joins the army!"
"Your Majesty!" Wu Xiang stopped immediately and looked at Li Xuan with an ugly expression.
If Li Xuan was just a passerby in Yangzhou a few months ago, now he already has the power of life and death over all officials in Yangzhou except Dou Xuande.
With just these words from Li Xuan, after he returns, he can directly dismiss Prime Minister Wu from his position as the Legal Director of the Yangzhou Governor's Office.
Seeing that Wu Xiang wanted to explain something, but still didn't know how to defend himself, Li Xuan waved his hand directly and said: "The most important thing tonight is to catch the assassin, otherwise the one who gets into trouble today may be Yongchang County Lord. Then tomorrow It’s possible that the one who got into trouble was me.”
Li Xuan said one sentence and then walked directly into the bedroom.
Inside the bedroom, on top of the bed, a little girl wearing a purple skirt was lying sideways on the bed, with a large area of snow-white skin on her back exposed.
A long bloodstain, from the right shoulder, was directly pulled deep into the clothes, which looked particularly oozing.
White medicinal powder was poured on the fair skin. A female medical officer was carefully cleaning the blood stains on the mountain passes on both sides. Liang Fuling let out a groan of pain from time to time.
Seeing this scene, Li Xuan's face was already extremely ugly.
This assassination was a real assassination. Someone wanted to kill Liang Fuling.
No, someone is trying to use this to plot Li Xuan's life.
