In the study room, the fire suddenly flickered.
Liu Rengui's brows twitched unconsciously, and he quickly asked: "But what kind of medicine did the wise son-in-law use on Jia Hui?"
"Yes." Li Xuan nodded lightly and said: "If he really hadn't died at that time, he would have forced himself to meet with the nobles in the court. As long as the slightest smell was introduced and he didn't sleep for half a quarter of an hour, then he would definitely have to meet him at night. He couldn't sleep, and with his body, he would be dead by the next day."
Liu Rengui took a breath and quickly reminded: "Xian son-in-law, you can't use this method too often."
"Where did Weng Yue go? My son-in-law will only speak to Weng Yue about this matter. As for the palace, all the corresponding medicines and solutions have been reported." After a short pause, Li Xuan said softly: "Weng Yue, this is Medicine can not only be used to treat insomnia, but also to kill people, and it can even be used to treat death..."
Li Xuan stopped immediately in the middle of his words, but Liu Rengui completely understood the meaning of his words.
After a moment of silence, Liu Rengui asked softly: "Is there any way to prevent this medicine?"
"Yes!" Li Xuan understood what Liu Rengui meant. He was worried that someone would use this medicine to kill people, but the person who used this medicine to kill people was probably from the palace...
Li Xuan took a breath and said seriously: "First, if you feel trapped, just fall down and sleep. Don't resist. The medicine is extremely powerful. Unless you have a very deep cultivation level, you won't be able to resist it. Second, on weekdays, When brewing tea, you can use ligustrum lucidum, but the amount should not be too much, just two to three yuan at a time. In addition, the medicine can also nourish the liver and kidneys, improve eyesight and black hair, but once the amount is exceeded If there are too many, the liver fire will be strong, which will easily damage the liver."
"Yeah!" Liu Rengui nodded, he already understood the reason.
"In this way, even if the medicine takes effect quickly and you fall asleep, you can wake up quickly." Li Xuan quickly reminded again.
"It's still impossible to resist, right?" Liu Rengui smiled bitterly and said with emotion: "This is very similar to some things in the DPRK."
Li Xuan lowered his head slightly. In the court and in the palace, there was never a shortage of killings in the darkness.
Li Xuan knew in her heart that the palace, especially Empress Wu, had many more methods and tricks to kill people, and his medicine, normally, would not lead to death even for three to five days. What would really happen here? Under the power of this medicine, there are only two types of people who are directly facing death.
One is for seriously injured and dying people, and the other is for old and infirm people.
If you are forced to stay awake, you will most likely become physically excited and die suddenly after one night.
"The use of medicine in this matter is medicine, but you can't tell him what medicine to use." Liu Rengui warned solemnly.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then said softly: "In fact, this matter does not need to go through that person's hands, it only needs to be replaced by another person."
"Do you have other people in Luoche?" Liu Rengui was shocked. How many tricks did his grandson-in-law use in the Tubo Kingdom?
"Where did Mr. Yue think he was?" Li Xuan was speechless for a moment, and then she said softly: "My son-in-law wants to let someone go and return to Tubo from Chang'an."
"From Chang'an?" Liu Rengui figured it out after thinking about it briefly, and suddenly said: "The envoy of Tubo?"
"No, it's the deputy envoy of Tubo." Li Xuan shook his head and said helplessly: "The envoy of Tubo is heavily guarded. He really wants to escape back. It's strange that the Tubo people don't suspect it."
"So after the army leaves, we need to relax the control on the Tibetan mission, and then let them know some news. Let's say that the Tang Dynasty suspected that the leader of the Tibetan kingdom was dead, so it sent a large army at the border, and then let them know that the Tang Dynasty The Tang Dynasty only had 80,000 people this time, and only 40,000 actually went to war. The purpose was just to capture Fuqi City and help Tuyuhun restore his country." Li Xuan had already told a whole set of plans, some true and some false.
"Tuyuhun is a land of servants after all. The nobles will not care, and naturally they will not share the same hatred with the enemy." Liu Rengui saw the core of Li Xuan's plan at a glance, and then said softly: "Then they will pay more attention to the life and death of the Lord of Tubo. .”
"At that time, it will be enough to let the Tubo nobles know that the Lord of Tubo is about to die." Li Xuan took a deep breath and said lightly: "Then there will be instigation from inside and outside. Sometimes, an inexplicable fire will happen. The headless curse is enough to cause chaos in the entire city."
"It's mid-March now, and the Tibetan deputy envoy will return to Luoche in mid-April. I'm afraid it will be May when everything breaks out, and the war is in full swing!" Liu Rengui said with some emotion, "This is a good son-in-law. With one ring in the trap, it has already taken the form of the late emperor and Prime Minister Du Xiang plotting against the Eastern Turks."
"This matter is due to the father-in-law, and the son-in-law will not take the credit." Li Xuan waved his hand directly to remove himself from this kind of thing.
"Indeed, such a calculation is too sinister." Liu Rengui looked at Li Xuan and said with a helpless smile: "You have met Zhao Deyan's descendants. Back then, the late emperor and Prime Minister Du Xiang calculated Zhao Deyan like this, and Wei Xiang also scolded him. For a long time."
"It's just for the country, no personal honor or disgrace." Li Xuan's expression was very calm.
"It's just not the way to be a king." Liu Rengui took a breath, and then said: "At this point, we need to be careful. The Tibetan envoys cannot return to Tibet from Qinghai Lake, otherwise they will easily run into Lun Qinling. If this is true, then It just fell short.”
"Yue Weng, this matter is not something you and I need to consider. The secret guards have many ways." Li Xuan gently pushed the teacup forward.
Liu Rengui nodded slightly, what Li Xuan said was indeed true.
The real start of this matter is still in the hands of the secret guards, and they can do it flawlessly.
"Besides, we don't need time to be too close, as long as we don't wait until the war is over before he returns to his normal state." Li Xuan couldn't help but add.
Liu Rengui nodded silently, and Li Xuan also fell silent.
After a while, Liu Rengui asked, "So what are your plans for Sanniang at home?"
Liu Jinyu is now pregnant with Liujia, and Li Xuan is going on an expedition at this time. If he is not careful, he may not be able to return home and see his first child born.
Li Xuan took out a box from her arms, handed it to Liu Rengui, and said, "Here is a drawing of an artifact. My mother-in-law also has a copy, and there are even two finished objects. Just in case, Just use that artifact. If you can’t find it, you can find someone to make it temporarily.”
"What are you worried about?" Liu Rengui frowned and reached out to press the wooden box.
Seeing that Liu Rengui was about to open it, Li Xuan quickly suppressed it and said, "Yue Weng, not at this time."
Liu Rengui frowned, and when he saw the helpless expression on Li Xuan's face, he finally withdrew his hand.
"There is also a medicine in it. Just drink it with warm water." Li Xuan paused and said, "But this medicine is available at home and at Master's place. No matter what the situation is when I see it, as long as it is not Yue Weng, the concubine, and the master are not here, even if everything will go smoothly in the end."
"As long as you have some concerns in your mind." Liu Rengui put away the box and couldn't help but sigh.
Li Xuan actually didn't care if Liu Rengui never opened the box, as long as he didn't open it in front of her.
Even if he opens it after he leaves, it is enough as long as he knows his good intentions.
…
In the darkness, the servants in front held torches to lead the way, leading Li Xuan across the east courtyard of Sanjin Courtyard, where Liu Jinyu stayed before getting married.
Li Xuan returned to Liu Mansion and has always lived here.
Under the lantern in front, two figures, one large and one small, were standing at the door, as if they had been waiting for a while.
"Fifth Niang, why are you here?" Li Xuan stopped and glanced at the servant beside him. The servant immediately lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Wu Niang Qiongyu was the first to say, "I'm not the fourth sister yet. She wants to ask where the fourth brother-in-law of the Chen family has gone. Can he come back in three months to get married?"
Li Xuan couldn't help but slapped his forehead and said: "I forgot that Chen Jiazi seems to have joined the Zuowei. According to the camp affiliation, he should have gone to Dunhuang with the Prime Minister, not to Qinghai Lake with Pei Shangshu. He should be safe No worries. As for whether I can come back in three months, I’m afraid it won’t be easy.”
The Chen family originally planned to get married at the beginning of the year, and the wedding date was in early April. However, no one expected that the court would send troops more than half a month earlier than expected, and the wedding between the Chen family and the Liu family could not be held in advance. , after all, the old people of the Chen family are still in their hometown in Gushi, and there is no way they can get there in two or three days.
And even if you rush here, who has time to attend such a wedding at this time?
The war is about to begin, and even Li Xuan is too busy to move his feet every day. Who has time to care about this matter.
But state affairs take priority, and the marriage between the Chen family and the Liu family can only be postponed.
Fortunately, the Liu family also understood. After all, Liu Rengui was the prime minister of the DPRK, and there was nothing they could say about this kind of thing.
"Thank you so much, third brother-in-law." Liu Shubi blessed Li Xuan with some embarrassment, then pulled Liu Qiongyu and ran away.
Li Xuan didn't pay much attention to it. After all, Chen Jiazi was good-looking, gentle and elegant, and quite scholarly. But for some reason, he was quite similar to Li Xuan, the prince, and even seemed a little aloof.
Li Xuan didn't pay much attention.
After gathering his thoughts, Li Xuan turned around and entered the house. He would practice for a while and then rest.
…
It was another busy day. The five thousand soldiers on the right guard received a large number of bows, crossbows, swords and shields from the Ministry of War treasury, and even an additional thousand armors.
Li Xian worked hard all day and only managed to get a thousand armors. There was nothing he could do. There were too many people asking for things inside and outside.
His own Minister of War, the Minister of Industry next door, two generals of the Sixteenth Guards, and Prime Minister Li Dan, it was Ming Chongyan who came forward.
After busy arranging the order of sending out troops tomorrow, Li Xuan returned to the mansion a little tired.
As soon as he dismounted, Li Xuan saw Yu Ze standing in front of the door, followed by He Zhizhang and a dozen other scholars, except for the four people who were selected by Zhuge Minghui.
Seeing that Yu Ze's face turned ugly for a while, Li Xuan asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Yu Ze handed an official document to Li Xuan, and then said helplessly: "The British Prince's Palace wants to recruit our scholars to march to the Marshal's Palace on the Tao River Road. Even Minghui and the four of them have been forcibly recruited."
"This Li Sanlang is poaching one of his own people." Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh a little, but after thinking about it, she said carefully: "There are already four people over there, so at most two or three more people will go there. It depends on your own free will. Brother Ji Zhenxian is not allowed to go there, just say it is my wish. Others, including those who are weak, are not allowed to go. The mountain road is difficult and dangerous, and if you are not careful, you may be injured on the way..."
