Chapter 254: Fifth Victory!
In the imperial city of the Tang Court in the holy capital, Li Xian, the prince regent, sat in the imperial courtyard, carefully reading the recital from the Shaofu Order!
All the layouts have been successful, and after this incident, Li Xian's control over the center of the Tang Court will be unprecedentedly strengthened! Only when he reaches his level, when he is really above ten thousand people under one person, will he truly understand a truth, in the Taihe Palace, he can move anyone under the Dan Fan! But he can't stretch out his hand to any seat above the Dan Fan!
There is a forbidden area for the power of the Tang Court Emperor!
Except for the human emperor, whoever moves, who dies!
Since the people above Dan can only unite and take advantage of the situation, then strengthening the control of the six central departments and maintaining sufficient deterrence against the border army is the largest scale of layout that Li Xian can make before he reaches the top!
The reason why his father chose him to be regent may be because he is older and knows more about the law than other princes!
The vested interests in hand need to be digested, the fruits of victory need to be shared, and he needs to maximize the benefits as quickly as possible, which is the art of the emperor!
With the fastest speed, it provided sufficient legal convenience for Lu Yu's three-state military reform, especially the decree ordering the county governments of Kyushu to provide free venues in the core urban area and cooperate with the Yunjian caravan to build the Yunjian Library, which doubled the goodwill and loyalty of the officials of the Zhoushan School Palace in the first time.
The icing on the cake, the more the merrier. However, we cannot let go of the work of tracing back to the source and tracing down the mastermind behind this time! From before the beginning of the Great Court Discussion to now, half a month has passed, and it is time for some clues to come! As long as there are traces and the cocoon is peeled off, the truth will certainly not be far away.
The blue-clothed eunuch walked lightly to Li Xian's side and said, "Your Highness, Jian Yi is back!"
"Xuan!"
"No!"
The blue-clothed eunuch came out in response, and then Jian Yi's figure appeared in front of Li Xian and bowed: "Subordinates, see Your Highness!"
"Excuse me! How's the matter going?"
"Go back to Your Highness! According to your orders, there have been some discoveries! Before the start of the Great Court Meeting, it is true that as you said, the major families in Zhongzhou are very cautious, except for the connection between the family and the family, there is no trace of contact with the imperial city!"
However, after the end of the court meeting, a group of criminal officials led by the Grand Inspector were executed by the Three Princes, which completely shocked a group of people. As His Royal Highness expected, in order to appease these family lords, some people in the imperial city took action! From the third day after the great court meeting, large sums of silver taels flowed out of the imperial houses of the fourth princess, the eighth prince, the ninth prince, and the eleventh prince, and deposited them in the caravans of the Ye family, the Xiao family, and the Zhu family! Then all the blood relatives of the three clans who were executed disappeared from the imperial city of the holy capital overnight! The subordinates explored several disappeared courtyards, and there were no mana fluctuations, nor any signs of panic or struggle, and it seemed that they left voluntarily and in an orderly manner!
"In addition, the subordinate investigation files found that Liu Meng, Zhu Daoxue, Xiao Shuli, and others have one thing in common, that is, in their promotion resumes, they all had intersections with the Northwest Frontier Army during a certain period of time in their tenure, and they had either been transferred to the Northwest or coordinated the Northwest Frontier Affairs! The Qingliu Liu family, to which Liu Jifu, the great superintendent, and Liu Meng, the right attendant of the ministry, belonged, also had a deep relationship with the Xiao family among the nine great families of the Holy Capital!"
Jian Yi is a very measured person, although all the discoveries have been pointed, but he only truthfully describes his findings, as for the inference and judgment, His Royal Highness the Great Prince has his own decision!
After listening to the results of Jian Yi's investigation, the eldest prince Li Xian finally put down the music in his hand, got up and walked slowly to the window! Looking at the garden outside the window, he said leisurely after a while: "The fourth sister and the eleventh brother are blood relatives of the same mother, and they also have a close brother of the same mother, the second brother! The eighth and ninth are only half-grown children, and they have not yet grown up! Their mother went early, and they have been friends with the second brother since they were young, and every time the second brother returns from the expedition, he will bring them a few boxes of gadgets, although these things are not valuable, but the love is priceless! Therefore, the people around the eighth and ninth brothers should also be very close to the second brother!"
"The Northwest Army can almost be said to be the second brother's own land, and the military power there is rarely interfered with even by the Tiance Mansion! Because I and several martial marquis understand the meaning of giving the second brother independent military power before my father bowed the arch!"
"Second brother, second brother......."
The footsteps of the blue-clothed eunuch appeared in the hall again, which interrupted the eldest prince's thoughts!
"Your Highness, the second prince Li Zheng is asking to see you outside the palace!"
"Hehe, it's really a coincidence!Let him in!" the eldest prince Li Xian chuckled, and the expression on his face returned to the gentleness and warmth of the past in an instant, and then returned to the side of the desk and continued to work on the prelude. As for Kenyi, he disappeared into the main hall at some point.
When the eldest prince Li Xian raised his head, he was stunned to see that the second prince Li Zheng was actually stepping on his combat boots and wearing a battle armor, and he was stepping on!
"The last general, the deputy marshal of the Youzhou Army and the deputy marshal of the Jizhou Demon Slaying Army, Li Zheng, is your Royal Highness!"
"Get up quickly! Second brother, my own brothers meet, this is not the main hall, what are you doing!" Seeing the second prince Li Zheng come in, he pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar without saying a word.
"Back to His Royal Highness, there will be a book to play at the end! After the performance, talk to the eldest brother again!" said the second prince, Li Zheng, presenting a very formal book with both hands!
The eldest prince, Li Xian, stretched out his hand to take the fold, read it carefully, and then picked up the red pen and wrote a big accurate word! Then he said, "When is the second brother going to leave?"
"After leaving the Imperial Palace, let's go!"
"In such a hurry?"
"The holy capital is prosperous, chaotic desires and obsessiveness, it is not suitable for me at all! This is my personal order, and I ask the eldest brother to accept it! In the future, the fief of the younger brother will be managed by the eldest brother, and all the personnel will be arranged by the eldest brother, and all the money and property obtained from the fief will be presented to the treasury as a court tax! This time, the younger brother does not want to waste energy for anything in the guan, during this time, I have figured it out! In fact, I should fight on the battlefield in this life, and use military merits to achieve glory. To atone for sins with blood, and then return with a horse leather wrapper, this is my glory, and please fulfill the eldest brother!" The second prince Li Zheng took out the personal order representing the second prince from his body, presented it on the table of the eldest prince, and then performed the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and then resolutely turned around and left!
"Second brother, the battlefield is dangerous, take care!" Looking at the figure of the second prince Li Zheng who was about to leave, Li Xian called out to Li Zheng and admonished.
"Don't worry, big brother, my brother has rough skin and thick meat, and he can't die!" The second prince, Li Zheng, didn't look back, he stretched out his hand and waved behind him, and then left.
An hour later, Jian Yi's figure reappeared in the main hall and said to the eldest prince Li Xianyu: "Your Highness, after the second prince left the imperial courtyard, he took eighteen guards with him and left the holy capital directly! According to the post station report, there were three hundred private troops gathered outside the holy capital, and after joining the second prince, they went to Youzhou together! The line newspaper confirmed that the three hundred private troops waiting were all men among the blood relatives of the criminal officials who had disappeared in the holy capital before!"
At this moment, the blue-clothed eunuch entered the main hall with the private order left by the second prince Li Zheng and said: "Your Highness, the slave took over the second highness's mansion and fief in the holy capital with the private order of the second highness.
"Second brother...... Second Brother!" After listening to the report, the eldest prince Li Xian came to the window again and meditated at the window! This time the second brother was really the mastermind behind the scenes? This time the defeat really made the second brother disheartened and completely withdrew?
A light rain fell outside the window, and listening to the crackling rain, Li Xian was a little puzzled.
