In the study of Prince Peng's Mansion, Li Xuan was dealing with letters from Southeast, Luoyang, Jiannan and other places.
"Bang bang bang", the door was knocked.
Li Xuan put away the letter for a while, raised her head and said, "Come in!"
Li Bi came in from outside and delivered a secret letter to Li Xuan with a solemn expression.
Li Xuan raised her eyebrows and opened it to see a series of numbers on it.
"Someone wearing a black cloak came out of Zuo Shi Fan Lubing's mansion."
"Ming Chongyan?" Li Xuan's brows jumped, and she said with a look of surprise and disbelief: "He really went to find Fan Lubing?"
"Your Majesty guessed it right, their actions were indeed too bold." Although Li Bi also felt a little ridiculous, he was more horrified.
This kind of thing was unexpectedly expected by their king, and he had already planned it a few days ago.
This method is amazing.
"It's not that I guessed it right, it's that they didn't expect that others could understand the relationship between them." Li Xuan picked up the note and put it on the candle to burn it clean.
Is it really that fun to be in the dark under the light?
When you have enough resources, you will not let go of any clues.
Li Xuan's power seemed to have withdrawn from Chang'an, but unknowingly, the black-clad Heavenly King followers brought by the Tyuhun people had filled the gap.
When Ming Chongyan entered Fan Lubing's mansion, they did not notice anything. However, when Ming Chongyan left Fan Lubing's mansion, they could not help but reveal a flaw.
Li Xuan can catch this flaw, and so can others.
…
Li Xuan suddenly raised her head, looked at Li Bi and asked, "They didn't follow on their own initiative, did they?"
"No." Li Bi shook his head and said solemnly: "They did what the prince said and they obeyed it completely without breaking the rules."
"That's good. Ming Chongyan is not an ordinary person. If he finds out if he doesn't pay attention, it would be better not to find him in the first place." Li Xuan's expression became serious instead.
Ming Chongyan is definitely not a person who is easy to kill. Just looking at the current situation, he still dares to enter and leave the Beimen bachelor's home easily, you know that this person is very easy to deal with and it is too difficult to deal with.
The reason why Li Xuan was able to find Ming Chongyan's whereabouts without being discovered by him was because all the people under him were deadlocks.
People who only monitor one location will see very few places, but if there are such eyes at every key node, then there is nothing they can't discover.
In the earlier case of Zhang Wenguan, the reason why Li Xuan was able to catch the secret guards of the East Palace and Wu Chengsi at the same time was because of this skill.
As long as the layout of the points is enough and detailed enough, then the entire Chang'an is under their control.
Now, Ming Chongyan has also fallen into Li Xuan's surveillance network.
But this is not detailed enough.
"Bring me a map of Chang'an." Li Xuan looked up at Li Bi.
Without any hesitation, Li Bi immediately found a map of Chang'an in the vase on the side, among the vertical scrolls.
There are one hundred and ten squares in Chang'an, which are straight and horizontal.
It is not easy to find Ming Chongyan's location, but it is not that difficult.
Ming Chongyan had appeared near Wu Chengsi's residence before, and now he appeared in Fan Lubing's residence. If nothing happened, he would have gone to Yuan Wanqing's residence.
If you connect all these together, a large and small area will appear.
Putting aside those small houses, dirty and vulgar places, it is best to have water channels to communicate and facilitate escape. After all, there are not many places.
In the night sky, a dove hawk has taken off and is flying in the designated direction.
…
Li Xuan lowered her head and focused her eyes on the map again.
It is not difficult to find Ming Chongyan, but how to kill him is difficult.
And after killing him, he must be able to completely clear himself of suspicion.
So if you want to kill someone, first try to force him into a desperate situation, and then kill him with one blow.
Before the final blow, it would be best for Li Xuan never to reveal any of her identity.
Don't let Ming Chongyan have the slightest idea that he is watching.
After a fatal blow, he immediately fled thousands of miles away.
Don't let anyone notice your traces.
And in this process, it is best for him to always have an alibi. Only in this way can he avoid the furious revenge from Empress Wu after killing someone.
At the same time, he must also consider the powerful combat power possessed by Ming Chongyan.
This Master Shiyin is not that easy to deal with.
Li Xuan's mind was almost connected bit by bit.
All available resources: Secret Guard, East Palace, Qianniu Guard; Punishment Department, Dali Temple, Yushitai.
First think of a way, use clever means to force him out of the darkness, and let him fall into the sight of the secret guards and the East Palace.
Of course it's the secret guards and the East Palace Strangler.
If the secret guards and Dong Gong can kill Ming Chongyan...
Li Xuan shook his head slightly, how could this be possible? This would at most force out some of Ming Chongyan's trump cards, and then he would escape smoothly.
Since he can escape smoothly, at this time, it is convenient to fill in a chess piece.
Li Xuan conveniently made another circle outside the original circle and highlighted it with small characters.
Ministry of Punishment.
Police officer from the Ministry of Punishment.
Of course, the detectives from the Ministry of Justice couldn't stop Ming Chongyan, but they could stop the secret guards and the East Palace from pursuing him.
If it were this time, someone would remind him: the Ministry of Punishment deliberately let Ming Chongyan leave.
Then the Secret Guard, Dong Palace, will immediately have conflicts with the Punishment Department.
If someone brought everything to the Zhengshi Hall at this time, Pei Yan would immediately fall into the eyes of the ministers of the Zhengshi Hall.
This is not the first time that Pei Yan has helped Ming Chongyan. It was fine before, but now, the emperor has issued a secret order to kill Ming Chongyan, so Pei Yan is going against the emperor.
Of course, these things are reasonable when the public talks about them, and it is reasonable when the mother-in-law talks about the mother-in-law.
It may be difficult for these things to directly shake Pei Yan's position, but they can shake his trust in the emperor's heart.
It will be difficult for him to help Ming Chongyan in the future.
But so far, we still haven't been able to really catch Ming Chongyan's tail.
At this time, the most important thing is to quickly re-lock Ming Chongyan's position.
The purpose of locking Ming Chongyan's position was for the second blow.
The manpower for the second attack cannot be people from the Nanchang Palace, nor can the power of the East Palace and secret guards be easily borrowed. In addition, they must be able to kill Ming Chongyan...
Demonic religion, Buddhism, or Taoism?
Although Ming Chongyan was born in a Taoist sect, there is still a difference between him and a serious Taoist sect.
He is a Taoist, and naturally he cannot urinate in the same pot as the orthodox Taoist school.
Similarly, Buddhism also covets this person who can extremely influence the Queen of Heaven.
However, the Buddhist methods of salvation are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Finally, it is the Demon Sect, and its disciples, who can quickly force Ming Chongyan to reveal his last hidden method.
At this time, it should also be the last critical moment.
Ming Chongyan should be able to detect something in the final strangulation. There must be something fishy about the battlefield location, and it's time for him to make his final preparations.
As for the end, under countless crossbows, Ming Chongyan had to be defeated no matter what means he used.
After that, it was Li Xuan's final move that determined the outcome.
…
Li Xuan gently knocked on the table. If nothing unexpected happened, this was the plan to kill Ming Chongyan in the end.
The former is like this, and the latter is supplementary.
When Ming Chongyan died, Empress Wu would be furious.
It is not difficult for Li Xuan to escape on her own. The difficult thing is to find a good scapegoat.
Of course, the best scapegoat is none other than Prince Li Xian.
But besides Li Xian, Li Xuan also wanted to find someone else.
With Yuan Wanqing or Pei Yan as shields, Empress Wu would still doubt Li Xian even after eliminating the suspicion of these two people.
With these two people as shields, Li Xian can last longer.
As long as he doesn't reveal himself to be in mortal trouble, that's fine.
Li Xuan looked at the countless lines she had unconsciously drawn on the map and sighed in her heart.
To kill Ming Chongyan, Li Xuan almost racked his brains and almost exhausted all his resources in Chang'an.
So what should I do if I want to target Empress Wu in the future?
Is there any place on this road that I can secretly remember?
Li Xuan suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Bi and said: "Withdraw all our people, stop paying attention to Ming Chongyan's affairs, and arrange them all around the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice."
"Yes!" Li Bi turned around immediately and walked outside.
Li Xuan's breathing slowed down, she closed her eyes slightly, and began to think about her entire plan. What else was inappropriate?
While he was staring at others, others were also staring at him.
Fortunately, his chess piece is hidden enough, otherwise it would be troublesome if others discovered it...
All the kings in black.
Li Xuan stood up immediately. If people found out that he was related to the black kings, the emperor's slight suspicion would immediately turn into disaster.
An isolated organization must be established between him and the Heavenly Kings in Black, which can not only utilize the power of the Heavenly Kings in Black, but also avoid causing trouble to himself.
Sooner or later they will be discovered, sooner or later someone will suspect them, and sooner or later someone will conduct a detailed investigation.
Then it is very necessary to transfer the allegiance of these black kings.
Tuyuhun.
An idea flashed in Li Xuan's mind.
The Black Heavenly Kings have always been dominated by the Tuyuhun people. They also have their own area when they live in the Tang Dynasty. If they can be gathered into a village, just like the Turks and Silla people, they can speak for themselves within the city. It’s up to you,
In this way, the person they were really connected with was King Tuyuhun.
Using the entire Tuyuhun people in Chang'an as a cover and King Tuyuhun as a shield, he streamlined the entire black-clad heavenly kings and gathered the more devout believers into black-clad guards.
The guards in black were hiding behind the scenes, but they pushed the Qu family out.
The daughter of the Qu family was to marry him as his concubine, but the mistress of the Qu family was the daughter of King Tuyuhun.
It is normal for Tuguhun people to find the mistress of the Qu family. Problems that the Qu family cannot solve are found on themselves.
Through the Qu family as an intermediary, Li Xuan can directly intervene in the Qu family, but secretly actually controls it.
But one must be careful here. When Empress Wu chose a girl from the Qu family to marry into the Nanchang palace as a concubine, she may not have used the Qu family to understand her plans.
In addition, there is a big trouble in this matter.
Liu family.
Although Li Xuan accepted Qu Dou'er as his concubine, which was the order of the Queen, the Liu family's dissatisfaction would not be directed at Empress Wu, but would only fall on themselves in the end.
Therefore, we must find a way to resolve the Liu family's grievances.
…
Standing in the front yard of Pengcheng County Government House, Li Xuan carefully helped Liu Jinyu out of the carriage.
Liu Jinyu held Zhao'er, and Li Xuan held Xia'er, and looked up at Liu Rengui, who was standing on the steps of the front yard, smiling.
For some reason, Li Xuan felt a numbness in her scalp, but she had to force herself forward.
After a while, Liu Jinyu went to play with Fourth Niang Shu Bi, Fifth Niang Qiongyu, and other sisters, while Li Xuan herself was introduced to the back hall by Liu Jinyu.
"What do you think, would you like your father-in-law to be transferred to the Prince's Palace?" Liu Rengui said with a smile, which immediately made Li Xuan's hair stand on end.
He immediately waved his hand and said: "No, if you want to go, just go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, not the Prince of England's Mansion."
"Oh, I thought the good son-in-law already had a high opinion of the King of England?"
