Under the majestic and solemn Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace, an attendant wearing a green robe walked in small steps to the officials waiting outside.

glanced at the officials solemnly, and the green-robed attendant immediately preached loudly: "The Queen of Heaven has a decree to announce that the Wang Zichen Palace of Nanchang County will see you."

Dressed in the purple five-python five-chapter county king robe, wearing a black three-colored seven-beam crown, the young and handsome Li Xuan took two steps forward, distanced himself from the officials, and then bowed his hand: "Minister Li Xuan obeys the order."

The green robe attendant was in front, and Li Xuan followed behind, heading towards the Zichen Palace.

The waiting Zhu Zi officials behind him looked calm, and only those five or six officials who were further behind looked curiously.

Li Xuan's eyebrows were lowered, and he followed behind the green robe in a solemn and respectful manner, without looking out at all.

The three major halls of Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall is the main hall of Daming Palace, which is the place where major celebrations and court meetings are held; The north of Hanyuan Hall is the Xuanzheng Palace, which is the place where the emperor listens to the government; Zichen Hall is located in the north of the Xuanzheng Palace, and the place where people listen to the court and see things every day is the inner court.

On weekdays, it is Empress Wu who handles government affairs here.

In the grand hall, countless soldiers of the forbidden army stood silently, and the Empress Wu sat on the main seat of the hall and read a book of chapters.

Li Xuan raised his head with his chest straight, strode into the center of the hall and stopped, and then bowed his hand: "The king of Nanchang County, the captain of the light car, the general doctor, don't drive in Wuzhou, the general inspection school Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang General, the inspection school Honglu Temple Shaoqing Li Xuan, meet the queen of heaven, the queen of heaven Wanfu Jin'an."

Li Xuan's voice was clear and powerful, and it gently echoed throughout the Zichen Palace.

Empress Wu looked up in some surprise, saw Li Xuan's heroic and upright appearance, her expression was slightly light, and the purple jade pen in her hand was placed on the table on one side, and then looked at Li Xuan: "King of Nanchang!"

"The minister is here!" Li Xuan replied in a deep voice, solemn and solemn.

"You have returned from Wuzhou, and you have come to tell the Empress Ben, is the Tianyin Sect settled?" Empress Wu's sharp gaze seemed to see through all of Li Xuan's thoughts.

Li Xuan didn't dare to hesitate at all, and immediately replied: "After returning to the Heavenly Queen, the Tianyin Sect has been calmed, and the people of Muzhou and nearby states no longer miss Tianyin in their hearts, and the Tianyin Goddess has gradually been replaced by the Daomen Taiyin Emperor and the Buddhist Moonlight Bodhisattva.

"By the way, the Divine Substitution Technique." Empress Wu was a little stunned, nodded, and said approvingly: "This is indeed a wonderful move, King Nanchang, can you tell the Empress Ben, how did you come up with this divine substitution technique?"

"Don't dare, the queen of heaven, the minister often reads history, Jin Shu, Qianhan Shu, Hou Hanshu, Shiji, Spring and Autumn, Shanhai Jing, all involved, that day and Mr. Zi'an talked about the matter of Emperor Jun, and suddenly had this idea." Li Xuan replied honestly.

Empress Wu laughed and said with satisfaction: "Yes, it's the truth, I thought you would say that this is the Daomen's technique of breaking mountains and destroying temples?"

"The technique of the Dao Gate is vain, and this technique of divine substitution is quite treacherous, although the minister uses it, he doesn't like it." Li Xuan's face brought out a trace of heaviness and a hint of jealousy.

"Are you doubting the history books?" Wu Hou's words immediately said what Li Xuan did not mean explicitly.

"After all, history books are the words of the historian's family, and there is a way that the historical pen is like iron, but sometimes there is also a historical pen like a knife, such as the words of the general Wei and the hussar general in the historical records, and it is inappropriate to include them in the biography of the ministers." Li Xuan's expression was solemn for a while.

"Wei Qing, Huo Quai." Empress Wu sighed lightly, then raised her head, looked at the young and handsome Li Xuan, smiled calmly, and said, "This palace has forgotten that the king of Nanchang is the same age as the hussar general, no wonder."

"The minister also has the ambition to seal the wolf, but it's a pity that ......" Li Xuan bowed his head and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's a pity that Wei Guogong has already done it." Empress Wu finally couldn't help laughing.

After a while, she finally waved her hand and said, "Since the King of Nanchang said that the Tianyin Sect has been completely pacified, then it should be completely pacified, but the King of the East Sea and the King of the Western Regions are still there."

Empress Wu's face was completely solemn, and Li Xuan finally understood the reason why Empress Wu asked so much before.

It turned out that she was talking about the King of the East Sea and the King of the Western Regions, so it was no wonder that she had to ask if the Tianyin Sect had been pacified.

"Returning to the Queen of Heaven, the king of the Western Regions is the Tubo national teacher Kumaro, and he only needs to tell the world that the Tianyin Sect is a female cadre in Tubo, and he can strike at it at the same time, as for the king of the East China Sea...... The King of the East China Sea has a cold temperament, and even if the Tianyin Sect is destroyed, he has never appeared, which shows that the Tianyin Sect is just a pawn, and as the chess piece of the Tianyin Sect becomes more and more useless, the King of the East China Sea will completely abandon it."

Wu Hou nodded solemnly, and then asked, "King Nanchang, who do you think the King of the East China Sea is?"

Faced with the question of the Empress Wu, Li Xuan's expression was a little hesitant for a while, and after thinking about it, he still spoke: "Returning to the Queen of Heaven, the name of the King of the East China Sea will inevitably involve people with the kings of the clan, the minister once suspected the King of Yue, suspected the King of Cao, but in the end it turned out that the minister guessed wrong, as for the true identity of the King of the East China Sea, the minister was a little suspicious, the name of the King of the East China Sea was the smoke bomb he threw out."

"King Yue, King Cao, it turns out that you are suspicious of the King of Hailing County." Empress Wu nodded slightly, she had to admit that this suspicion did have some truth.

Hailing is itself the ancient East Sea.

Coupled with the relationship between Li Yuanji, the king of Hailing County, and Li Shimin, the emperor of Taizong, it is not for nothing that Li Xuan linked the king of Hailing County with the king of the East China Sea.

"Yes, but after repeated wars, the minister did not find out that King Cao and King Yue had any involvement in this matter, and according to the minister's humble opinion, I am afraid that Empress Taizong may not be able to collude with the descendants of Emperor Taizong, so the minister shifted his attention to other places." Li Xuan bowed slightly.

Empress Wu couldn't help frowning and asked, "Where?"

"Chang'an!" Li Xuan's words are very affirmative.

First, he had already guessed the identity of the king of the East China Sea; Second, Yun Hebi of the Demon Gate Hidden Extreme Sect once said that the Tianyin Sect Inheritance Ceremony would be held in Chang'an in half a year, how could Li Xuan let it happen.

"Ben Hou knows." Empress Yu pondered slightly, and then asked, "By the way, I heard that when you found Empress Hou's body, you protected it as soon as possible."

In an instant, Li Xuan felt a sharper gaze fall on him, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "After returning to heaven, the minister had to do this because he received a secret order."

As he spoke, Li Xuan took out the playbook from his sleeve that the emperor had sent to him through the channels of the East Palace, and the female official Zheng on the side immediately stepped forward to take the playbook, and then put it in front of Empress Wu.

Empress Wu opened the piece very casually, and while reading it, she asked casually, "If you hadn't received the secret order, what would you do with the body of the queen?"

"After returning to the heavens, the court has a system, and after the traitor is executed, the disposal of her body should be handled by the criminal department, Dali Temple, and the palace, and the minister has no authority."

"Then suppose you have this authority, perhaps, this later, I will ask you this question now, how will you answer?"

Li Xuan gasped in his heart, what he was most afraid of was this, he sincerely bowed his hand and said: "The minister believes that the body of the queen should be kept properly, and then a good place should be properly buried, and a stone tablet should be erected.

Empress Wu was suddenly surprised, and said appreciatively: "Yes, it can be so, it seems that the king of Nanchang has gained a lot in Wuzhou!"

"The minister just used all the things he learned in the past to the affairs of the imperial court." Li Xuan bowed again.

"It's a good thing for Lao Cheng to be serious, I'm really afraid that you will say that you will crush the body of the queen and scatter ashes as soon as possible?" Empress Wu looked at Li Xuan with a smile.

Li Xuan hurriedly threw up his hand and said, "The minister did think so, but under the holy decree, the minister had no other way."

"What if Empress Ben ordered you to crush her body and scatter her ashes?" Empress Wu suddenly spoke, staring at Li Xuan at the same time.

Li Xuan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "As long as the queen of heaven has an order, the minister will obey the order, even if the body of the queen is completely destroyed, the minister will not dare to slack off in the slightest."

Seeing Li Xuan's firm head, he could see very clearly that his eyes were clear.

What the Empress Wu said, what the emperor said, as long as there is

The law, Li Xuan will follow the law.

This was the best way he could think of to completely avoid the contradiction between the two.

Empress Wu glanced at Li Xuan deeply, and then said, "You are good, you have done a good job, but what if the Empress and His Majesty's edicts are different?"

Empress Wu's words made the atmosphere in the entire hall extremely depressing.

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, lowered her body in a deep voice, and said: "The Queen of Heaven and His Majesty look up to the heavens and the earth, their eyes are naturally the same, how can they say that they are different, they are nothing more than slight differences, the ministers are incompetent, they should act according to orders, and as soon as the will arrives, they will do it."

"Hahaha......" Empress Wu couldn't help laughing, shook her head, and said, "Although the king of Nanchang is a little slippery, he still has rules for doing things, so I won't embarrass you in the future, let's talk about business."

Li Xuanchang breathed a sigh of relief, this level had finally passed, and he hurriedly arched his hand solemnly, "Please show the queen of heaven."

"The Tianyin rebel is dead, then after that, Tubo, before the Tang Dynasty and Tubo fought several times, there were victories and defeats." Speaking of this, Empress Wu paused slightly, looked at Li Xuan and asked, "King of Nanchang, if the Tang Dynasty and Tubo go to war again, what kind of strategy do you think should be pursued?"

"Lure the enemy deep, intersperse movement, divide and cut, gather and annihilate." Li Xuan did not hesitate at all, and immediately expressed his opinion.

He had seriously thought about this matter, and when he knew that the king of the Western Regions was the Tubo national teacher Gu Moluo, Li Xuan knew that the open and secret struggle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo was even more intense than he imagined.

In the future, the two sides will go to war, and it is even more inevitable.

"Lure the enemy deeper?" Empress Wu didn't think about it in the first place, looked at Li Xuan with a surprised face, and couldn't help asking, "This is my attack on Tibet, how to lure the enemy into the depths...... No, you're talking about the Tibetan tactics."

Li Xuan bowed down again and said, "Queen of Heaven, this method is feasible in Tibet, and it is also feasible in our dynasty, if the Tubo army is led down from the plateau and the battlefield is chosen under the plateau, our army can exert all its strength to annihilate it, and then kill the Tibetan plateau and wipe it out in one fell swoop."

Empress Wu's expression calmed down, and she frowned slightly and said, "In other words, you don't approve of going up to the plateau to fight a decisive battle with Tubo."

Li Xuan's expression was solemn, and he bowed down again.

Empress Wu was thoughtful, and after a while, Empress Wu said in a deep voice: "Spread the decree, the king of Nanchang Nanchang Wang Jiance has merit, and he has sealed a thousand households...... The decree was that the gentleman of Dechang County was gentle and virtuous, and he was promoted to the monarch of Dechang County, and Liu Yuanlang, the court's courtier, taught his daughter to be a good man, and the official was promoted to a higher level, and he was awarded the doctor of Chaosan."

"Minister Li Xuan, thank you!" Li Xuan bowed his head to the ground with an excited expression.

Empress Wu waved her hand to signal Li Xuan to stand up, and then said, "You are too young, and it is not good to seal too much, so you will grant it to others."

"I understand, thank you for the grace of the Queen of Heaven."

"Okay, let's serve the court well in the future, and step down."

"Whoa!" Li Xuan slowly retreated.

Empress Wu looked at his back, frowned slightly, lowered her head, and it was a book of music: "Chen Xue Li plays the Tubo affair......
