Chapter 320: The Emperor's Layout and Foresight
Sitting on the sickbed, Wang Fanglan pressed one hand on the seal of the assassin historian, and asked Li Xuan to sit down next to him.
At this time, he looked out the window, looked at the weeping willows outside, and said softly: "Zhang Yi is actually not anyone's person, he himself is a member of the Wu Yue family like Shen Qian, and he is the biggest spokesperson of the entire Wu Yue family in Wuzhou officialdom, and there is still an essential difference between him and those who collude with the Tianyin Sect."
Li Xuan thought for a moment, and finally had to nod in agreement.
"Zhang Yi's whole person, in fact, is very similar to the Shen family, they have worked very hard in the officialdom, although they have different intentions and occasionally move, but the basic bottom line is still there, just be careful, don't let him grasp the key, he can still use it." Speaking of this, Wang Fanglan smiled bitterly: "Uncle Shi's identity is embarrassing, there are many things that are taboo, unlike other courtiers who can act according to the law, the virtuous nephew should be able to understand."
Li Xuan nodded silently, Wang Fanglan was born in the Wang family of Qi County, and he was the cousin of Queen Wang Zheng'er Bajing back then.
In the government and the opposition, who doesn't know that the Wang family of Qi County has always been suppressed by the queen of heaven, and there is great resistance in all aspects.
But even so, Wang Fangyi and his cousin Wang Fangyi still sat on the official position of Thorn Shi, and their personal ability can be seen.
How can Wang Fangyi not say that everything he is doing in Wuzhou now is to imitate his cousin Wang Fangyi.
That is the person who really has the posture of the prime minister.
But it is precisely because of this that they are more cautious when doing things.
It's easy to be caught by others.
Some are tied.
Although the queen of heaven looks generous, everyone knows what her heart is.
There are many things she doesn't know how to do by herself, but in this court, I don't know how many people are staring at them inside and out.
If they make a mistake by half a step, they will immediately lead to death.
Although Wang Fanglan is a thorn in the fourth grade, he can hardly do anything when he treats the records from the sixth rank to join the army, and when he does not grasp the handle of the other party.
Li Xuan is not like this, as the king of the current dynasty, in some things, he can be unscrupulous, but in some other things, he must be more cautious, and he must not arouse the emperor's suspicion.
"The little nephew knows what to do, Uncle Shi can rest assured." Li Xuan nodded seriously.
Now that Zhang Yi's identity and position are clear, Li Xuan already knows how to appoint him.
Suddenly, as if thinking of this, Li Xuan raised his head violently, looked at Wang Fanglan, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Shi, Mr. Du, is he your person?"
"Du Bixing?" Wang Fanglan's eyebrows suddenly raised, he didn't understand why Li Xuan thought of him.
Li Xuan smiled faintly, although Du Bixing was born in the Jingzhao Du clan, he had a close relationship with the Hedong Liu clan.
The Wang family, the Liu family, if you add an eldest grandson and a Chu family, the four major families that surrounded Queen Wang back then will be together.
As for the Jingzhao Du clan and the Gushi Huang clan, they are just some peripheral families.
Wang Fanglan immediately understood, and finally he shook his head a little funny, and said, "Virtuous nephew, you are mistaken, Du Bixing is not my person, although I have had some contact with him before, but in fact, he is His Majesty's person!"
"Huh?" Li Xuan's face was really surprised at this moment.
Li Xuan pretended to panic most of the time, and there were not many things that could really move him, but it was not nothing.
The emperor is reusing the relatives of the Liu family!
Li Xuan took a deep breath, and the look of surprise on his face converged in an instant.
"Has Your Majesty already laid out in Wuzhou a long time ago?" Li Xuan looked at Wang Fanglu cautiously.
Du Bixing resigned due to illness more than ten years ago.
If the emperor had already begun to lay out in Wuzhou at that time, then even Li Xuan would be surprised.
"That's not what Uncle knows." Wang Fanglan shook his head and said with a sigh, "Uncle Wei was transferred to Wuzhou two years ago
But the contact with Du Bixing is only this year, so ......."
"So it's more likely that he only hooked up with His Majesty this year." Li Xuan nodded in agreement.
Du Bixing, Huang Jin, in the entire Wuzhou, the emperor did not do well and secretly arranged other manpower.
On the bright side, there is a history of a state assassin like Wang Fanglan, and even the entire Wuzhou officials and Wuzhou families are just pawns under Li Zhi.
His arrangement is not like Wang Fanglan's to check the acres of land, so that it is enough for Wang Fanglan to be responsible for completing the official affairs, and there is no need for a character like Du Bixing to appear.
Therefore, what Du Bixing did must be the Tianyin Sect, which in itself is what he has been doing.
Li Xuan suddenly had a feeling that Du Bixing's connection with the emperor, and the person who recommended him to the contact to Jingye probably didn't know about it at all.
The Liu family, the Dongyang Liu family, and standing behind them is Liu Yizhi, one of the bachelors of the North Gate.
Even he directly said that the queen of heaven put a chess piece in Wuzhou.
Li Zhi, Empress Wu, these two couples don't know what to do around Wuzhou.
It is even very likely that they are making a fuss about the Tianyin Sect at the same time.
The emperor and queen pay attention at the same time, which is interesting.
What kind of secrets are hidden behind the unknown Tianyin Sect.
"No matter what, since he is His Majesty's person, then the little nephew can also be more bold when employing people." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why, does the virtuous nephew still have reservations about him all along?" Wang Fanglu looked at Li Xuan in some surprise.
Li Xuan shook his head and said calmly, "Uncle Shi, the little nephew is already doing his best to trust him."
The people of the Liu family, who knows what the future holds.
Even if he is now the emperor's pawn, Li Xuan believes that only when the queen asks, people like Du Bixing will be abandoned immediately.
Li Xuan didn't want to be a pawn that was discarded at will.
In this case, it is normal to have reservations, and in many things, Du Bixing did not show much loyalty to Li Xuan, and even more often, it was a routine.
Wang Fanglan raised his eyebrows, and then, he said indifferently: "Those are your affairs, Uncle Wei reminds you, no matter what you have to do, be fast, Your Majesty strictly ordered, today's autumn tax must be guaranteed, and keeping the state city is only the most fundamental bottom line......
"Finding the Tianyin Sect and destroying their core strength is the most fundamental problem to solve the current crisis, uncle rest assured, little nephew understands." Li Xuan nodded with emotion, the state city is indeed important, it is the foundation for him to stabilize the entire Wuzhou, but other states and counties in Wuzhou also cannot be easily abandoned, especially near the direction of Muzhou.
In the final analysis, even if there are three thousand Heavenly Sects entering the states now, it is only a part of the overall strength of the Tianyin Sect.
In Muzhou, the number of elites possessed by the Tianyin Sect is probably not less than these three thousand, not to mention that there are many ordinary sect members.
Once the army is formed, the situation will immediately fall into an uncontrollable situation.
Li Xuanqing's method of investigating the Tianyin Sect is the most feasible when the loyal Tianyin Sect disciples only have a minority share in one place.
Once placed in Muzhou, Li Xuan's official document did not even leave the state office, and he would be directly rushed into the yamen and killed.
"Although the little nephew has a lot of plans in Wuzhou, I don't know if there are any other omissions, so I ask Uncle Shi for guidance." Li Xuan looked at Li Xuan respectfully, with a sincere expression.
Seeing Li Xuan's gaze, Wang Fanglu sighed lightly and said, "If there is no omission, how can it be that people are not gods, but when it comes to guidance, there is only one sentence for Uncle Wei, that is, you must ensure your own safety, be careful, and don't fall into the situation of Uncle Wei."
Li Xuan paused abruptly and bowed his hand to Wang Fanglan seriously: "Thank you Uncle Shi for your advice."
After all, Wuzhou is very close to the nest of the Tianyin Sect, and the masters of the Tianyin Sect may come to Wuzhou at any time.
If Li Xuan didn't have an accident, there would be nothing, but if something happened to him, it would be earth-shattering immediately
Affair.
"If only you understood." Wang Fanglu nodded with emotion, and then continued, "Also, you have to be careful to ...... Ahem, ahem."
Before Wang Fanglan finished speaking, the person was already coughing violently.
"Uncle Shi!" Li Xuan exclaimed, and the next moment, his hand suddenly stretched forward, and it had been directly pressed on Wang Fanglan's veins, and immediately, Li Xuan's face changed suddenly.
At this time, as if sensing a movement in the room, the little scholar and Zhang Yi outside immediately rushed in.
"Stand there and don't move." Li Xuan directly stopped the other party, then looked at the little scholar, and ordered: "You go and prepare a basin of water now, Zhang joins the army, please go to Huang Zhenren now, this king wants to ask about his treatment of Wang Tingshi."
After speaking, Li Xuan immediately turned his head to look at Wang Fanglan, stretched out his hand to open his eyes, took a closer look, and then carefully examined both sides of his neck, and finally pressed his hands on his tiger's mouth, and then pressed it quickly and rhythmically.
It was only a moment later that Wang Fanglu's violent coughing was immediately relieved.
The little scholar and Zhang Yi had already run out quickly at this time.
Seeing that Wang Fanglu gradually regained consciousness, Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, one of his hands pressed directly on Wang Fangscale's chest, and at the same time pressed it slightly a few times, and then looked at Wang Fangscale with a shocked expression.
Wang Fanglu grabbed Li Xuan's arm, raised his head to look at him, and said pleadingly, "Don't tell anyone about this."
"Good!" Li Xuan lowered his head slightly, Wang Fanglu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, at this moment, a golden light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and the next moment, the golden light had directly submerged into his chest.
Then he saw a hand, a hand of the person in front of him, gently twisting a golden needle in his hand, slowly piercing in.
With the piercing of the golden needle, Wang Fanglu inexplicably felt a burst of looseness in his heart, but in the next moment, he felt a sharp stinging pain in his heart.
The palm in front of him suddenly lifted upward, and the golden needle was pulled out in an instant, followed by a red blood line.
Li Xuan's hands were in the air, and the red blood line had completely fallen into his palm, and finally condensed into a thumb-sized bead of blood.
Li Xuan's hand flipped over, and the blood beads had completely disappeared.
At this moment, the footsteps outside the door suddenly sounded, and Li Xuan had taken several steps back at this moment.
"The history of the king's assassination." An old man with white hair but a ruddy complexion, wearing a purple robe, entered from the outside at great speed, and as soon as he entered the door, he rushed directly to Wang Fanglan's side, directly grabbing his left hand vein.
In an instant, the old man in Taoist costume looked up in surprise, and at this time, he saw Wang Fanglan, whose face had been much slower, shaking his head slightly at him.
At the same time, Wang Fanglan looked up at Li Xuan, who nodded slightly.
Immediately after, Wang Fanglan was already coughing violently.
Zhang Yi hurried in from outside the door, just in time to hear a violent cough.
"I'll go decoction first." The old man in Taoist costume slowly laid the scales of the Thorn King on the bed.
After doing this, the old man in Taoist costume stood up, glanced at Li Xuan coldly, and then turned around and left.
When Zhang Yi saw this scene, his face was full of surprise,
