Chapter 158: The Emperor's Game, the Joy of the Boudoir

"Since my nephew entered the Divine Capital, he has been drifting with the flow of things, and it is difficult to be independent, although he has achieved a little, he is cautious every day and has more preparations, but he still feels insufficient." Li Xuan paused slightly, and then said with a wry smile: "My nephew is in the middle of the game, there is a lot of fog, and I can't see the true face of Lushan, so I ask my uncle for guidance."

Li Xuan held a cup of Xishan Bailu in both hands in front of his uncle Ouyang Tong, and then stood to the side with his hands tied, listening to the lesson.

"Everything you've done^" Ouyang Tong took the white porcelain teacup and took a sip before he said in a deep voice, "It's all too impatient, and you don't even need to arrive at the Divine Capital in advance...... Although Wuzhou is a place of meritorious service, it is too dangerous, and the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, this is what you advised King Yong, right?"

Ouyang Tong seemed to swallow half a sentence, Li Xuan keenly caught it, but Ouyang Tong didn't say it, and he didn't want to ask.

"Yes, my nephew did say so to His Royal Highness King Yong!" Li Xuan arched his hand, and was just about to continue, when suddenly, he was covered in cold sweat.

Because if you think about it carefully, it seems that everything after he arrived in the Divine Capital was secretly played with by an invisible invisible hand.

Although Li Xuan responded in time, she still always felt anxious.

It seems that many things follow one another, and there is no room for him to have much reaction time.

It seemed that there was always a sense of crisis haunting him.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, he said this to others, but he never thought that he was already in a similar environment.

"Zhao Gong didn't dare to appear until now, he was afraid that he had already guessed something." Ouyang Tong snorted coldly and looked up at the lobby door.

Although there is a barrier to the wall, Zhao Gong can see it at a glance when he arrives.

"It's the diva?" Li Xuan's face was extremely heavy.

Zhao Gong, as the commander of the secret guard, although he can come into contact with many secret files, but if this matter is deliberately manipulated by someone to lure him into acting step by step, Li Xuan can only think of the Empress Wu.

"It's the Queen of Heaven, and it's Your Majesty." Ouyang Tong shook his head indifferently, looked at the tea soup in front of him and blew lightly.

Ouyang Tong saw it very clearly, although this matter was made by the Empress Wu, the emperor was also happy to see it.

This is a higher-level game, and Li Xuan is just a small chess piece.

"Your Majesty, you're picking on someone." Yu Ze, who was standing on the side, picked it and said, "This is Your Majesty's consistent method, if he wants to use a person, he must first learn from it, if it is useful, use it, if it is unusable, he will be deposed immediately."

The emperor has always been eclectic in employing people.

Over the years, although he has been using the cold door to suppress the people of the family, but if you look carefully, in the court, the *** from the family still occupies the majority, but the entire court is still firmly in the hands of the emperor.

On a trip to the Imperial Palace today, Li Xuan met a lot of prime ministers in the court, but most of these people are the emperor's cronies.

Similarly, many people are also cronies of Empress Wu.

Or for many years, they have become accustomed to it, the Queen of Heaven and His Majesty are one.

The queen of heaven represents the emperor, and the decree of the queen of heaven is the decree of the emperor.

But for many years, the concept is still there, and the emperor is the master of a country.

Although Li Zhi pushed Empress Wu to the forefront, he created such an impression even more, and at the same time pushed Li Hong to the front of the stage and fought for power with Empress Wu.

Now that Li Hong has passed away, he quickly pushed Li Xianyou out.

The balance between the queen of heaven and the crown prince tends to be balanced, although the queen of heaven has secretly seized a lot of positions these days, but once today, I am afraid that many people will vote for Li Xian.

At that time, Li Zhi played lightly, and the whole court situation tended to be balanced again.

In today's court, although Li Zhi and Empress Wu secretly have a lot of battles, this is a benign contest.

To put it mildly, it is the pleasure of the boudoir between husband and wife.

Li Xuan is the same, his whole person is not only being fiddled with by Empress Wu, but also being fiddled with by Li Zhi.

"Fortunately, your performance is good, Your Majesty should be very satisfied, but the queen of heaven ......" Ouyang Tong said this, and he groaned.

Li Xuan

's face suddenly became gloomy, and many of the things he did in Luoyang were actually against Qiu Shenqi.

For example, in the case of the Tianyin Sect, Qiu Shenqi wanted to launch Li Yan, but in the end, it was Yan Zhuang who won.

Li Xuan intervened intentionally or unintentionally in this, and he may not be able to see it with the ability of the martial queen.

Not to mention that there are a group of people led by Ming Chongyan by her side, and under careful scrutiny, many things can be seen clearly.

However, although Li Xuan was a little worried, it was only a few, because he had always been doing things according to the emperor's orders, and he had not shown much fear and vigilance against the Empress Wu, which he had always forced himself to maintain.

If he really wants to do anything and find a way to assassinate Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, then everything will change in the future.

It's just a pity that this method is too troublesome.

If there is no one, no, a few white gloves in the way, then even if Li Xuan assassinates Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, he himself will not be able to escape the investigation afterwards.

Something like this does not need to be proven, and a suspicion of many things is enough.

Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi are not worth the price he has to pay.

Moreover, their existence is not entirely bad.

After thinking for a while, Ouyang Tong suddenly spoke: "The day after tomorrow, write a thank you and fold it to the queen of heaven."

"Thanksgiving?" Li Xuan's eyes shrank and began to think.

Yu Ze on the side looked confused, and asked confusedly, "Thank you, thank you for what?"

Since Li Xuan entered the Divine Capital, whether it is Shangyao Fengyu, or Tongyi Doctor, or the inspector Qianniu Wei Zhonglang General, etc., they are all given by the emperor, and the queen of heaven.

"It is the grace of marriage." Li Xuan lowered his head, pondered, and said: "Although the marriage with the Zuo Xiangjia family was finally decided by His Majesty, in fact, it has always been the Queen of Heaven who has been promoted, and it is the Queen of Heaven who approves first, and His Majesty makes the decision."

It turned out that he had been holding it in someone else's hands from beginning to end, and the Empress Wu was holding the most critical card in his hand.

Although Li Xuan's performance in Luoyang these days is a little out of line with the queen's intentions, the overall situation is not out of control.

Empress Wu is watching, if Li Xuan writes this thank you fold, then Empress Wu will still be optimistic about him, and even continue to cultivate.

But if Li Xuan doesn't write this thanksgiving fold, and can't even see this, then let alone cultivation in the future, it will already be light if he doesn't suppress it hard.

Li Xuan quickly adjusted his mentality, and today's situation is like this.

Of the people in the court, who is not jumping between the queen and the emperor repeatedly.

For example, in the future, Empress Wu deposed Li Xian and made Li Dan the emperor, and the opposition in the entire court was not large.

It wasn't until Empress Wu tried to depose Tang Lizhou that large-scale opposition came.

"That's true." Li Xuan nodded and bowed seriously to Ouyang Tong: "Thank you, uncle, my nephew started to conceive today!"

"Not busy!" Ouyang Tong waved his hand directly and said, "You first ask someone to go to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion and send my greeting post, and in three days, I will visit and agree on the marriage."

"Whoa!" Li Xuan immediately responded, Ouyang Tong's doing, coupled with the thank you fold written before, maybe before all this, the will to give marriage will come down.

"By the way, uncle, there is one more thing to ask for, that is, the matter of the prince's family order Yan Zhuang?" Li Xuan asked the biggest question in his heart now.

The matter of Yanzhuang is strange inside and out, as if everything has been decided, but something unexpected has broken out.

Ouyang Tong looked at Li Xuan in surprise, then turned to look at Yu Ze: "He didn't see it, didn't you see it either, Brother Yu Xian!"

"Brother's advice." Yu Ze shook his head helplessly, he is rarely full of weirdness here, but there are too many things blocking the view, it is not easy to get through this layer of fog and see through the truth behind it, especially those who have other calculations in their hearts,

Li Xuan also scratched his head for a while, Yan Zhuang was about to go to the southeast, this was allowed by the emperor, and now there was a sudden accident, there were only two possibilities.

First, it was Yan Zhuang who learned the truth about the death of the crown prince Li Hong and obtained the evidence; The two were Qiu Shenqi and others who were unwilling to fail and secretly attacked Yan Zhuang.

As for the people of the Tianyin Sect, it is impossible.

Those who can evacuate Luoyang now have already withdrawn, and those who cannot be evacuated are deeply lurking.

Killing Yan Zhuang didn't mean much to them, not to mention that they didn't know much about the truth about Yan Zhuang.

Something was stuck, and Li Xuan pressed her brow.

He had a feeling that it was precisely because he knew too much that he had a deep cognitive impediment.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded outside the door.

Immediately, Li Zhu appeared outside the door. new

He looked at Ouyang Tong and bowed slightly to Yu Ze, and then quickly walked towards Li Xuan, and a wax pill was handed over.

Li Xuan frowned and pinched the wax pill, took out the secret letter, and when he looked at it, his face changed suddenly: "Yan Tai was demoted and exiled to Guizhou."
