In Shang Pharmacy, Li Xuan sat calmly in the inner duty room.
Countless doctors inside and outside walked by, and they couldn't help but bow slightly to him. Li Xuan came out of Shang Yao Bureau and is now the highest-ranking official in the court.
With his status, the emperor has great trust, and at critical moments, this little bit of love can save lives.
Today, Li Xuan was at Shang Yao Bureau, and another Shang Yao Fengyu, Yang Ruo, did not come on duty at all.
Obviously, he let Li Xuan do what he did in Shang Pharmacy.
Suddenly, a low-level clerk walked in quickly from outside, walked up to Li Xuan, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Jia Langzhong has taken the medicine and left."
Li Xuan nodded slightly, waved her hand, and immediately turned around and left.
At this time, Ming Chongyan came in from outside the door with a solemn expression. When he saw Li Xuan, he bowed his head and said, "King of Nanchang."
Li Xuan stood up and returned the greeting with a heavy face: "What's the situation? What does the Queen mean?"
Ming Chongyan looked at the other recorders in the room. Li Xuan immediately waved his hand, and all the recorders immediately bowed and retreated.
At this time, Ming Chongyan said: "The Queen's intention is not to arrest people in the imperial city."
Li Xuan nodded, as if this was indeed the case, and said: "It should indeed be so."
Ming Chongyan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "The day after tomorrow, Lieutenant General Jia will take orders to the Lintao, Langan and Gansu prefectures to inspect the local prefectures and counties' reserves. After leaving Chang'an, the prince can arrest people."
"Arrest people?" Li Xuan raised his eyes and looked at Ming Chongyan.
"It's best if you can capture him alive. If you can't, you can also capture him dead." Ming Chongyan said with a trace of cruelty on his lips.
"It seems that in the past few days, the Ministry of Household Affairs will have a good handover with this Jia Langzhong." Li Xuan's face showed a hint of worry.
Although Jia Hui had been a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs for less than half a year, he knew all about the grain and silver in the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, from the court to the local prefectures and counties.
Once this information was leaked to the Tibetan people, the impact on the court could be imagined.
Especially the allocation of military supplies and fodder for the journey to the west is even more of a secret among secrets.
Obtaining this kind of thing can even deduce the arrangement of the imperial court's advancing troops.
We can even deduce the actual situation of the army and its march route from it.
Once it is leaked, the army on the Western Front will be in danger.
"This time, even the Tibetan emissary will be killed." Ming Chongyan spoke, and Li Xuan suddenly raised his head.
"Will the Tubo envoy show up this time?" Li Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, murderous intent spreading unnaturally.
"Yes." Ming Chongyan nodded directly, and then said: "After Jia Hui arrives in Lintao Prefectures, he will be accompanied by a large number of soldiers in every action, making it more difficult for the Tubo people to obtain information. Not to mention, once he actually arrives in Lintao , even if the news is sent out, it will be too late."
Li Xuan raised her head and wanted to say something, but in the end she swallowed her words and turned to ask: "Master, do the Tubo secret envoy and Jia Langzhong know each other?"
The core of Ming Chongyan's plan is that the Tubo emissary and Jia Hui both know each other's identities.
If this is really the case, the previous Wanxiang Pavilion, Zhou Zhi and others were just insignificant cover-ups.
Even if Li Xuan kills them, it will not affect the deal.
Ming Chongyan seemed to see through Li Xuan's thoughts at a glance, then shook his head and said: "I don't know how they can let their opponents know their identity.
At least, the Tubo people should not know Jia Hui's true identity. He is not that stupid, exposing his identity to the Tubo people and letting them blackmail him at will.
He probably didn't know who the Tubo emissary was or where he was hiding, but the people in Wanxiang Pavilion knew. "
Li Xuan raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but ask directly: "Haven't the people in Wanxiang Pavilion in the city been completely eliminated?"
"It has been eliminated, but there are still some remnants." Ming Chongyan shook his head with emotion and said: "With the methods of the Demon Cult, there will always be three or two people who survive in the end. What these people rely on is not to do anything with other people. Such people will not make too many moves in the city. The place where they will really attack is outside the city. Once they leave the city and avoid the sight of the palace, they can exchange information at will."
"Yes, troubles have happened repeatedly in Wanxiang Pavilion. Neither Tubo nor Jia Hui will trust them anymore. At most, they will be allowed to pass secret messages to each other. The rest will be face-to-face communication between the two. At that time, they will be caught in one fell swoop. It's time." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's best to capture the Tubo secret envoy alive. In this way, we can clear out all the Tubo secret agents in the entire Tang Dynasty." Ming Chongyan changed his tone and said coldly: "If not, then use His head made all the Tibetans in the entire Tang Dynasty feel shattered and afraid to make any more moves."
Li Xuan nodded in agreement and said: "As long as the Tubo secrets are eliminated, even if there are some ambitious people in the court, it will not affect the overall situation."
Ming Chongyan looked at Li Xuan and asked softly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Jia came to get medicine just now. You won't be so polite, right?"
"Real people are also good at medicine, and they should understand that medicine is only three parts poisonous. But if you completely ignore the dosage and talk about toxins, you are undoubtedly deceiving people." Li Xuan raised his head and glanced at Ming Chongyan, and then said softly : "The medicines used by this king have always been very particular about the precision of the dosage. If there is a slight error, the efficacy of the medicine will be greatly wrong. But that Jia Langzhong, who used the name of the Ministry of Revenue to prepare the medicine...he Took too much.”
It's because the medicine is three-quarters of the poison. I took too much medicine.
Ming Chongyan immediately understood that if Jia Hui really took Li Xuan's medicine, he would probably be unlucky.
Ming Chongyan collected his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "What Pindao means is that he will not be suspicious, right?"
"No." Li Xuan replied calmly, and then said with emotion: "I have always been kind, and if I find the right medicine, the general direction will be correct.
If he uses a smaller dose, it may be difficult to relieve his difficulty, but it will eventually be relieved and the time can be delayed. However, if he uses a higher dose, the effect of the medicine will change, the liver problem will be solved, but the spleen will be damaged and diarrhea will be easy. . Especially if he has been awake for several days, this situation may be more serious. "
"Hiss!" Ming Chongyan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. The King of Nanchang was really not easy to mess with.
Although it is just a word for diarrhea now, according to his usual style, if you don't pay attention, you will be tortured to life and death immediately.
Immediately, Ming Chong seemed to have thought of something and asked: "Sleepless, didn't he take medicine?"
"The medicine has indeed detoxified the former poison. Even today, I don't feel sleepy and my expression is natural. However, the former medicine has damaged the liver and affected the spleen and stomach. Now I have overdosed on the medicine that hurt the spleen..." Li Xuan raised her head gently, He glanced at Ming Chongyan calmly and said softly: "I don't know which ancient book he found the medicine he used. It is suitable for the disease but not the disease. He does not adjust the syndrome and uses it casually. After half of the previous poison has been detoxified, The poison arose again, and in the end there was only the word "death."
"It turns out that the former poison has not been completely cured..." Ming Chongyan stopped mid-sentence. He shook his head slightly and said: "He has fallen into the hands of the prince from the moment he was poisoned. As long as If the prince doesn’t stop, then he won’t be able to escape from the prince’s Wuzhishan.”
"No, he can't escape his Wuzhishan." Li Xuan said calmly: "As long as he goes to a famous doctor to have a look, his condition will be relieved immediately. Even so, the treatment is as simple as It was difficult for him to fully recover within a few months.
Now running around like this, the former poison will be cured today, but it will relapse tomorrow. I can sleep well in the first half of the night, but have insomnia in the second half of the night, and keep going back and forth...
Of course, he would not go to a famous doctor, because a real famous doctor would know what his condition is just by checking his pulse. "
"Then we only need to consider the Tibetan emissary now." Ming Chongyan took a deep breath, cupped his hands towards Li Xuan and said: "Your Majesty, the poor Taoist will go back and prepare first, and strive to win the battle in three days."
Just as Ming Chongyan was about to stand up and leave, Li Xuan suddenly stopped him: "Master, can you tell me who is behind this Jia Langzhong?"
Jia Hui is not a member of the Demon Sect. Although he was born in Wuzhou, he has little connection with the Tianyin Sect.
Li Xuan checked everything Jia Huiming could find on his face, but was never able to find out who was behind him.
Ming Chongyan stopped and said softly: "Your Majesty must have checked his family. You should know what is his wife's surname?"
"The surname is Yu." Li Xuan said directly: "Yu was born in Luoyang. His father was the magistrate of Dongyang County in his early years, his grandfather was the magistrate of Qinyuan County in his early years, and his great-grandfather was the governor of Rongzhou. The family may have been prominent at one time, but now it has decline."
Ming Chongyan shook his head slightly and said, "If the prince is willing to go back three generations, the background of the Yu family will be clear."
After a slight pause, Ming Chongyan said seriously: "The ancestors of the Yu family were generals in the early Northern Wei Dynasty, and Xianbei Wanniu was the tribal leader. The Yu family was a powerful figure in the imperial court from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Western Wei Dynasty, and then to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Later, the family patriarch Yu Jinggeng He became the Duke of Yan, the Taifu, the Great Uncle, and even the Mu of Yongzhou, making him one of the eight pillar states of the Northern Wei Dynasty."
Li Xuan's face suddenly became solemn in the Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
He himself was born in the Li family of Longxi. Li Xuan's ancestors, Emperor Taizu Jing of the Tang Dynasty, Duke of Longxi County, and Duke Li Hu of the Tang Dynasty, were one of the eight pillar states of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Finally, Li Xuan couldn't help but shook her head: "Master, now the Eight Pillars of the Northern Wei Dynasty..."
"My lord, do you want to say that they have already declined?" Ming Chongyan shook his head slightly and said softly: "As long as the Tang Dynasty lasts, these honorable ministers of the Northern Wei Dynasty will never decline, they will just change internally.
Some have risen and some have fallen. For example, the Li family, the Dugu family, and the Zhao family are still prominent. Although the Yuan family, the Yu family, and Hou Mochen have declined, the Dou family, the Yang family, and the Wei family have risen one after another. The eight pillars of the Northern Wei Dynasty The country is now known as the Guanlong Family. "
"These are the former Jiuguanlong family, or, in addition, the frustrated ones among the Dugu family, Zhao family, Dou family, Yang family, and Wei family. They are the masterminds behind all this." Li Xuan finally figured out the real group hidden behind this.
Still a wealthy family, the declining Guanlong nobles tried to rise again and gain power, relying on military merit, of course.
Nowadays, the emperor prefers to use generals from Hebei, Henan, and even Shandong. It is difficult for the Guanlong clan to make meritorious service in the military.
If you want to rise with the help of military merit, you can only rely on a big defeat on the front line, and then take advantage of the situation to rise and become a true nobleman that the emperor has to rely on.
This was the true plan of such a person, and the Emperor and Empress Wu had already seen through it.
…
"Since the prince understands, I will leave now." Ming Chongyan breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed his head and left.
Li Xuan stood up and sent Ming Chongyan to the door: "Xiao Wang won't send the real person away, so as not to be seen."
Ming Chongyan nodded slightly, then turned and left.
When Ming Chongyan completely disappeared, Li Xuan's face turned completely cold.
The declining Longxi aristocratic family, perhaps the really powerful Longxi aristocratic family may have also intervened.
Now in the court, the Dou family, the Zhao family, the Yang family, and the Wei family are still strong and have close marriages with the royal family. However, the older generation headed by the Dugu family, although they became relatives of the royal family in their early years and married into other families, Now the family's decline is a foregone conclusion.
The Dugu family only has one or two Sifang Prefecture governors, and there is only one Sixteenth Guards general in the army, and there are only two Zhonglang generals. They are not even comparable to the newly rising Southeastern aristocratic families, let alone compared to the Five Surnames and Seven Families. , even compared with families like the Wei family and the Du family, they are far inferior.
No wonder they were impatient after all.
Because the one who has been suppressing them has always been the emperor.
