Li Xuan sat alone behind the table, looking intently at the annotations on his hand "Lao Tzu".

On the other side is a cup of fragrant tea, and the heat wafts away.

The afternoon sun shines through the lattice windows on the smooth and clean floor tiles of the palace, and the light is strange.

Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps sounded outside the door.

A little eunuch in Tsing Yi pushed the door in, stepped forward quickly, handed a piece of paper to the table in front of Li Xuan, and then bowed and withdrew.

Li Xuan put down the Taoist scripture in his hand, glanced at the contents of the paper, and his face became serious.

The Tang Dynasty has been in existence for three generations, and its cultural and martial arts have reached its peak.

Whether it is the late crown prince Li Hong or the Yongwang Li Xian, they can't interfere in military affairs, but in terms of cultural governance, they have tried their best to network a large number of literati.

In the library under Li Xian, there are a large number of literati who compile ancient books and ancient books for him.

There were two names on the note in front of Li Xuan, one was called Ai Chen and the other was Hu Fei.

The former is the Doctor of Writing of the Palace, and the latter is the low-level recorder of the Palace.

Ai Chen, born in the Shuwen Museum, is responsible for helping Yongwang Li Xian draft documents and sort out letters.

It is impossible for a low-level recorder to know information that is extremely secret in the palace, but Doctor Text, there are many opportunities to touch information that others don't know.

Moreover, Ai Chen is very familiar with many people in the upper echelons of the palace, and even has an excellent relationship with some people.

Li Xian is in trouble, there is a problem with the doctors of the Shuwen Pavilion under him, I am afraid that before he becomes the prince, his group of people will have to be strictly purged.

The queen of heaven will not let go of such an opportunity.

Li Xuan is now sitting in the palace of King Yong, and is ordered by the Queen of Heaven to supervise the matter.

The one who is really responsible for the action is Dai Xing, the young secretary of Dali Temple.

In this matter, it was Shi Huangfu, the head of the palace, who presided over and planned everything.

At this point, it is already related to Li Xian's position as the crown prince and the future of Huangfu Gongyi.

One step forward, Huangfu's righteousness is the same as the peace of affairs, that is, the prime minister; One step further, he will be relegated to a marginal state and county, serve as a state assassin, and then stumble.

However, this matter will not involve Li Xian, the king of Yong, because the queen of heaven has praised his filial piety, and his responsibility has been completely removed from this case.

If this matter is done well, it is the credit of the emperor's justice, and if he does a bad job, it is his responsibility.

Today's entire Yongwang Mansion has long been secretly monitored by the palace guards.

On the surface, there was no sign of this, and everyone in the palace was following their own gait habits.

At this time, several medical officers in the palace were suddenly all quietly summoned.

Only a very small number of people know about it.

Except for the urgency of the matter, the others were kept as secret as possible, and there was no sign of deliberately leaking the rumors.

But in this case, Ai Chen still noticed the abnormality.

No one knew what channel he had obtained the information that the palace had found the key medicinal herbs, and then Hu Fei, the secretary of the palace, went out.

However, they have no idea that everything is happening right under the noses of others.

Especially Hu Fei, from the moment he left the palace before, he had been targeted by others.

The coffin shop in Nanshi, the ordinary small house in Shandefang......

Following the carrier pigeon in mid-air, the final message transmission came to the Guanghan Temple outside the south gate.

The central leader of the other party was actually hiding in the Guanghan Temple outside the south gate.

Li Xuan looked at the information in his hand and frowned slightly.

Guanghan Temple is not a big temple, and the incense is not particularly vigorous, but people come and go are the daughters of some rich and noble families.

It's just wealth, and it has nothing to do with the dignitaries and dignitaries of the dynasty.

"Looks like there's someone behind this." Li Xuan looked at Zuo Qianniu in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "The people from Dali Temple have already been dispatched?" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, Dai Shaoqing led the masters of Dali Temple to surround the Guanghan Temple within a radius of three miles, and at the same time mobilized the small half of the main force of the right guard to surround all the birds within a radius of ten miles to ensure that not a single bird can fly out, Lord Wang, should we go and see?" Zhou Qian's posture was about to move.

Zhou Qian was ordered by the Queen of Heaven to lead a team of Qianniu guards to protect Li Xuan's safety, and at the same time monitor the execution of the entire case.

"Don't worry, Dai Shaoqing is doing his duty by doing this, we have to do our own things, Qianniuwei has his own work to do." Li Xuan stretched out his hand, grabbed the bamboo fan placed on the table, and relaxed his body: "But since you can't wait, then we should also go to work, let's go, go to Shandefang." ”

Li Xuan's target this time turned out to be Shandefang.

Standing at the gate of Shande Fang, Zhou Qian commanded his subordinate Qianniuwei to start taking over the entire gate, and at the same time led people to the small courtyard where the news was transferred before.

At this time, in the small courtyard, there are still many officials of Dali Temple who are conducting detailed investigations and evidence searches.

On the ground lay three corpses covered with white cloths.

The people of Dali Temple have taken down all the people on the information transmission route along the way.

Anyone who tried to resist had been killed.

Zhou Qian stood in the small courtyard, lifted the white cloth, and carefully observed the corpse.

Li Xuan had been standing aside, did he take a closer look at Zhou Qian's investigation, but just stood in the small courtyard, raised his head and looked at the walls on all sides, as if admiring the blue bricks on the walls.

The sky soon became completely dark, and Zhou Qian's wrench walked to Li Xuan's side: "Lord Qiqi, these people are all good hands, trained all year round, with calluses on the tiger's mouth, relatively smooth skin, short stature, narrow facial bones, dark complexion, low nasal bones, developed nose wings, clear outlines, and most likely from the southeast." ”

Zhou Qian seems to be just an ordinary Qianniu Wei rate, but his ability is by no means simple.

"Yes, there are many daily necessities in the whole courtyard that can prove this." Li Xuan sighed softly and turned to look at Zhou Qian: "Why do you say that some people want to rebel wholeheartedly?" ”

Rebel?

Zhou Gan's heart jumped violently, and he bowed his head slightly: "Lord Wang, but what is the negligence of the lower officials?" ”

"It's none of your business, it's just that the other party's arrangement is too elaborate and takes advantage of people's habitual weaknesses." Li Xuan stood up and walked out of the door step by step.

Zhou Qian led his subordinates to hurry up, and Li Xuan's pace did not slow down, and he got on the horse directly at the door.

Lightly beating the horse, a moment later, Li Xuan had already come to the door of the fang.

"Tell the head of the workshop to close the door in advance tonight, and if the head of the workshop has the slightest shirk, he will be cut directly...... In addition, I went to the street and transferred two teams of Jin Wuwei over, bringing armor shields, bows and crossbows, and there was a tough battle to fight. ”

"The subordinate officer takes the order." Zhou Qian beat his horse away with some excitement.

Their team followed Li Xuan, and they themselves came for meritorious service.

They are not afraid that the opponent is too strong, they are only afraid that the opponent is not strong.

There are a lot of rumors about this king of Nanchang these days, most of which focus on his scheming.

If you are an enemy, such an opponent is indeed the most annoying, but if you are a comrade-in-arms, it is very reassuring.

Especially those who came down from the battlefield understand the preciousness of this kind of comrade-in-arms.
