The scrutinizing gaze slowly retracted, and Wu Zetian's voice sounded again: "A few days ago, Princess Peng wrote to the palace, saying that she wanted to find a good family for you, you are about the same age, and it will be time to get married in another year or two. ”

"Thank you, the Queen of Heaven." Li Xuan bowed slightly again, which had been expected a long time ago.

seemed to breathe a little, Wu Zetian's words calmed down, as if chatting: "King Nanchang, what have you been reciting recently?" ”

"Taishang Induction Heart Sutra." Li Xuan raised his head slightly, glanced at the bead curtain above, and then lowered his head and said: "The younger brother is still young and lacks experience, maybe he can get some guidance in the Taoist scriptures,"

"The Confucian classics are not bad, you can also learn the Confucian classics if you govern the country and behave as a person, if the palace remembers well, Princess Peng should have invited the son of her brother Ouyang Tong to teach you the Confucian classics, right?" Wu Zetian's eyes were a little surprised.

"The younger brother is not gifted enough in the Confucian classics, this is the original words of my cousin Youming. Moreover, when the minister was reading Zuo Chuan, he was always full of confusion in the Spring and Autumn Period, and when he consulted books, he always had different views, or even diametrically opposite, and the views of his cousin and his brother were always very different. ”

Li Xuan's mother, Ouyang Shi, is the daughter of the great Confucian Ouyang Tong, and her cousin Ouyang Ouming is also very knowledgeable.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the emperor's preference for intermarriage with meritorious families, there were also many intermarriages with Confucianism.

Ouyang Tong, Wang Qi, Su Mian, Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, etc., the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Wangfu of that year, there were many intermarriages with the Li family.

"Oh, what is it......" Wu Zetian was about to continue asking, but at this time, a female officer behind her stepped forward cautiously, and she didn't know what to whisper, so Wu Zetian stopped asking.

"There is no way for good and evil, but people call themselves, and the retribution of good and evil follows like a shadow; People will perceive good and evil thoughts, and they will respond to good for blessings and evil for evil. ”

Wu Zetian whispered a passage of scripture from the Taishang Induction Chapter, which seemed to mean something else.

Li Xuan's eyes flickered, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Empress Wu's voice continued to sound: "In this way, you can go to the Chongxuan Department, and visit the real masters who participated in the Waterway Dajiao Dharma for the main palace, and by the way, see if there are any deficiencies that need to be made up, and communicate with Zongzheng Temple at any time." ”

"The minister obeys the order, and the minister retires." Li Xuan stood up and saluted again, before slowly turning around and leaving the Qianyuan Palace.

After Li Xuanheng completely left the Qianyuan Palace, a figure turned out from behind at this time.

Dressed in a white silk robe, with a huge Tai Chi image embroidered in the center, fresh and handsome, this person is the most trusted Taoist priest Ming Chongyan around the Queen of Heaven.

"This king of Nanchang is very interesting." Ming Chongyan stared at Li Xuan's back, revealing a look of interest.

"Oh!" Wu Zetian had already put her attention elsewhere, and when she heard Ming Chongyan say this, she raised her head slightly, looked at Li Xuan's back, and said puzzledly: "From the perspective of this palace, although the King of Nanchang is excellent, he is not outstanding among the princes and brothers, but this thought is quite remarkable." ”

Li Xuan hurried from Nanchang to Luoyang, of course Wu Zetian knew what it was for, which made him very conspicuous among the kings.

For the use of this point, Wu Zetian will naturally use it to the extreme, and of course he will give appropriate returns.

Wu Zetian has seen too many talented and talented talents, and although Li Xuan has some talent, he has it.

"It's not outstanding, but he has a good vision, knows where the maladministration in the world is, and his style of acting is also very stable. Ming Chongyan's views are always different, and a sentence of Zai Fu's talent is his evaluation of Li Xuan.

Even Li Xuan didn't know that he had anything outstanding that Ming Chongyan had seen, and he actually came to such a conclusion.

However, Wu Zetian didn't think that Ming Chongyan was joking, she frowned: "The king of Nanchang is a close branch of the Wang clan, you don't understand the rules here, right?" ”

Wu Zetian knows Ming Chongyan too well, if he changes people, he will think that he is deliberately killing.

But Wu Zetian understood that Ming Chongyan was telling the truth, and he really thought that Li Xuan could be used by her.

Li Xuan's father, Li Yuanze, the late King of Peng, and Emperor Taizong were brothers, and Li Xuan and Emperor Li Zhi were naturally cousins.

However, although he is also a descendant of Gaozu, a child of the royal family like him grabs a lot of them.

If you can govern a state locally, it is already quite tolerant, and it can only govern the border states.

The prime minister, even if he is known as the virtuous king of Huo Li Yuanliang, even if the emperor often writes to inquire when he is undecided, he will definitely not be transferred back to the court to take up important positions.

There are deep political rules in this.

Li Xuan, whether he has the ability or not, will not be transferred to serve in the DPRK, plus his surname is Li, and the Empress Wu has never thought of trusting him too much.

"It's been more than ten years since King Peng passed away." Ming Chongyan said with a chuckle.

After the death of Li Yuan, the king of Peng, more than ten years ago, the Peng Wangfu had little contact with other kings, and the Peng Wangfu had already declined.

The inside and outside are all the princesses of Peng, Ouyang, and she has close contact with the housewives of various family lords.

Even Wu Zetian often corresponded with him, this time, in addition to Li Xuan's pleasing movements, there was no role of Princess Peng Ouyang beating the side drum in the back,

"I heard that the king of Nanchang went to Chengyilang's mansion after leaving Zongzheng Temple last night, and now he lives there." Ming Chongyan added.

Cheng Lang Zhao Gong's mother, born in the Taiyuan Wu clan, and Wu Zetian's father, are brothers and sisters of the same clan.

The queen of heaven looked at Ming Chongyan calmly, and said with a serious gaze: "Not enough, not enough!" ”

Even if Li Xuan is a little special, it is not worth her to use it, and these reasons are far from enough.

"Neo-Confucianism and Classics!" Standing up straight, Ming Chongyan looked at the back of Li Xuan, who had disappeared, and said faintly: "He has excellent vision, acts steadily, and is deeply influenced by scriptures, if he can use all the available resources, a prime minister is still worth it." ”

Neo-Confucianism and scriptures, Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows slightly, but still shook his head slightly.

Although Ming Chongyan's words have some truth, it is still far from making Wu Zetian completely credit Li Xuan.

"Let's do this for now, and then we'll see." Speaking of this, Wu Zetian's brows furrowed: "Let's talk about that matter, how is the investigation, who is doing it in secret, and that thing, it must be recovered as soon as possible." ”

"The internal guards, the secret guards, the thousand cow guards, and the hundred horsemen have turned over inside and out on the ground in Luoyang, but they still found nothing, the queen of heaven, the previous judgment of the minister has come true, the Tianyin Sect, the kings of the clan, I am afraid they will all become swords in the hands of others......"

Wu Zetian looked at Ming Chongyan indifferently, and Ming Chongyan's last words stopped: "Three days, three days later, Poor Dao will give an answer to the queen of heaven." ”

"Hmm!" Wu Zetian nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand, and Ming Chongyan slowly retreated.

Bow your head and refocus on the piece in your hand.

For Wu Zetian, what black hand, what knife, dare to jump out, all of them are cut off!
