Li Xuan sat behind the seat, holding the bronze wine bottle in his hand, his eyes were also fixed on the wine bottle, but his ears were erected, listening to Pei Yan's explanation.

He believed that at this moment, the emperor on the high platform was also waiting for Pei Yan's explanation.

Today, the emperor deliberately sat Pei Yan and Li Jingye together, just to let these two people explain the matter clearly in person.

After all, one is the central minister's criminal department Shangshu, and the other is the grandson of the god of war Li Quan, Meizhou Assassin Shi.

If one of them has a different heart and colludes with the king of the East China Sea, the emperor will immediately be in extreme danger.

Especially Li Jingye, although he only suffered an unwarranted disaster, he and Xue Zhang were classmates, out of friendship with classmates, he temporarily let him live in the other courtyard at home, who would have thought that Xue Zhang would be easily used by the King of the East China Sea, Li Jingye was hooked up at the corner of his clothes.

On the contrary, Pei Yan was deeply involved in this case, Xue Zhongzhang was his nephew, and he arranged for Xue Zhongzhang to follow Li Xuan to Yangzhou as a secretary, and it was he who personally gave Xue Zhongzhang a relationship and transferred him to Hangzhou Facao to join the army.

It was him again, and he asked him to issue a secret order under the criminal department Lang Zhong to investigate the collusion between the major families in Hangzhou, the upper and lower officials and the king of the East China Sea.

Unfortunately, this secret order was directly exposed by Xue Zhongzhang's stupidity.

After that, it caused a series of turmoil.

If it weren't for Li Xuan's final discovery that there was indeed someone in the Hangzhou officialdom who was the king of the East China Sea, I am afraid that this matter would not be so easy to suppress.

But it was this Xiaoshan County Wei Wenxu who was found to be the king of the East China Sea, who was very close to Xue Zhang in Hangzhou, and gave him a set of valuable manors.

Xue Zhang's stupidity not only made Pei Yan wear a hat that he didn't recognize, but also exposed all his previous operations.

At the beginning of September, Pei Yan had already begun to arrange for Xue Zhang's transfer to Hangzhou, why?

At that time, it had just been revealed that the King of the East China Sea was the descendant of Prince Yin, what did Pei Yan know?

What exactly does he want to do?

A series of questions flashed through Li Xuan's heart, and he believed that the emperor also had a series of questions to ask in his heart, even more than Li Xuan thought in his heart.

In particular, in this matter, the emperor did not hide it, but asked the crown prince Li Xian to confront the two directly in front of countless ministers, and as a result, the dissatisfaction in the emperor's heart has been revealed.

Pei Yan didn't dare to look up at the emperor and the queen of martial arts, and he didn't even dare to look up at the crown prince, but his eyes swept down and sat there, pretending to be drunk, and his eyes were fixed on Li Xuan on the wine bottle.

Subsequently, Pei Yan spoke: "Your Highness, Erlang's matter is indeed handled properly by the minister, originally the king of Nanchang pacified the Muzhou Tianyin Sect, and the minister should have asked the king of Nanchang to ask the king of Yue about the matter involved, but then there was Liu Guangye's matter, so he sent Erlang to investigate, but he never thought that Erlang had been in Beijing for many years, did not know the sinister place, and mistakenly believed in the wicked, and then dealt with it properly, and finally died in Weihe......"

Pei Yan said that in the end, his sad expression was clearly visible.

Li Xuan was already sitting there with a blank expression.

It seems that the person who was hooked up with King Yue, the son of the county lord of Wenxi, and the king of the East China Sea with words just now is not him.

"King of Nanchang." Li Xian came back sideways, Li Xuan suddenly came over, and then quickly stood up: "The minister is here!" ”

Li Xian suddenly smiled, waved his hand, turned to look at Pei Yan, and said: "In the case of the Tianyin Sect, the matter involved with King Yue, the King of Nanchang has already played it, and the palace has already dealt with it, but Pei Qing doesn't know, if Pei Qing needs it, the palace can give Pei Qing the official file to see." ”

"I don't dare." Pei Yan immediately surrendered his hand in panic.

"I don't dare, I still think about it." Li Xian shook his head a little funny, and said sideways: "Erlang, this matter will be entrusted to you." ”

Everyone looked up, and then they found that standing next to Li Xian was Xue Yao, the son of Xue Yuanchao, the chief doctor.

Although it is the same Xue Erlang, the difference between the prince and the secretary is not too big.

The expressions of Pei Yan and Li Jingye suddenly became solemn.

You must know that the words of the two of them just now almost put the fault on Xue Zhongzhang.

After all, Xue Zhongzhang is dead, and the dead have no right to speak.

It is normal to be planted and splashed with dirty water.

But this person who was splashed with dirty water is not only Pei Yan's nephew, but he is also a child of the Xue family in Hedong.

Xue Yao didn't seem to hear Pei Yan and Li Jingye's slander against Xue Zhongzhang before, but just bowed his hand to Li Xian very sincerely: "Weichen takes orders!" ”

After Li Xian finished speaking, he looked at Pei Yan and Li Jingye with satisfaction, smiled, and said: "Since the matter has been made clear, then this palace and the two Aiqing will have a drink together, King of Nanchang." ”

Li Xuan immediately picked up the wine bottle, this Li Xian had already drunk all the wine in the wine bottle, smiled, and then walked towards Dou Xuande.

Li Xuan put down the wine bottle and let the maid pour him wine, but he bowed to Pei Yan and Li Jingye slightly, and then sat down.

Pei Yan and Li Jingye sat down at the same time, and the expressions on their faces did not ease much, because it was not Li Xian who made the decision on this matter, but the emperor Li Zhi who was sitting on it.

The matter of collusion with the king of the East China Sea directly provoked Li Zhi's most sensitive nerve, and in this matter, Empress Wu did not dare to talk to Li Zhi at all, and even tried her best to help him investigate the truth in this matter.

There was no sound above, and neither the emperor nor the Empress Wu said anything more.

But everyone knows that this is not the end of the story.

For a moment, I don't know how many eyes were on Li Xuan, Pei Yan and Li Jingye.

……

The crown prince Li Xian finished toasting among the ministers, and his steps were already a little trance-like, but he still insisted on toasting to many foreign countries, and finally returned to the kings.

Sure enough, the kings are their own people.

Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, directly forced someone to pour a cup of hot tea for the prince, asking him to slow down his wine a little, and then turned to look at the kings and shouted in a deep voice: "Drink less." ”

"Whoa!" For this head of the clan, all the kings present were silent.

Li Xian watched with a smile, and did not mess around like everyone else, but stood with a calm smile.

This made the ministers inside and outside can't help but admire in their hearts after seeing it.

Wine is characterful.

Why is the crown prince Li Xian mellow, and his personality is not inferior to the filial piety of Emperor Li Hong.

While speaking, Li Xian had already come to Li Xuan, he deliberately filled people with wine, and toasted to Li Xuan: "Uncle Wang, Xian here toasts Uncle Wang!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Xuan didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately picked up the wine glass and drank it all with Li Xian.

Li Xian said with some humility: "If Uncle Wang is okay on weekdays, you might as well bring Aunt Wang to the East Palace for a walk, and Xian and the crown princess will definitely greet each other." ”

Li Xuan raised her eyebrows, and subconsciously leaned closer and said, "What's the matter, the queen of heaven is urging again?" ”

"Hmm!" Li Xian's face was full of wry smiles.

Li Xuan's face suddenly became solemn, there is no trivial matter in the royal family.

One of the reasons why Li Xian was later deposed was because he had been married for several years without a son.

The eldest grandson of Gaozong and Empress Wu turned out to be Li Xian's son, and there are too many things that can be said and cannot be said.

Li Xuan thought for a moment, and then said: "I heard that the hot springs of Huaqingchi are quite warm, if Your Highness is free, you may wish to stay in Huaqingchi with the crown princess for a while, the best time is more than January, now it is annual leave, Your Highness may wish to go and relax, but it is best at the end of September and early October every year, autumn harvest and winter storage, spring and summer." ”

Li Xian's expression suddenly raised his eyebrows, took half a step back, and arched his hand: "Uncle Wang is a sincere gentleman, and Xian is very grateful...... If the officials of the government and the opposition can be like Uncle Wang, loyal to the king, and honest, the father and the emperor will not be so tired. ”

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xue Yao on the side, Xue Yao nodded slightly, the corners of Li Xuan's mouth twitched, but he still solemnly arched his hand and said: "Your Highness has a good reputation, everything is the duty of a minister." ”

"It's a good duty, but there are still many people who can't do it." Li Xian sighed lightly, then approached Li Xuan and said in a low voice: "San Lang's side, please ask Uncle Wang to take care of it more." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Li Xuan's reply, Li Xian turned his head and walked towards the prince of Han Wang.

Li Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, what did Li Xian's last sentence mean, what did Li Xian ask him to take care of.

Immediately, Li Xuan bowed his hand slightly and sat down again.

Today's events are really unexpected.

The matter of Pei Yan and Li Jingye seemed to give the two of them a chance to explain, and the emperor didn't say anything, but this was all based on the fact that nothing happened in the future.

In the future, if the slightest implication of the King of the East China Sea falls on them, both of them will be unlucky, and this matter will definitely not be so easy to pass.

Especially the incident in the Leng family a year ago, as well as the killing of Xue Zhongzhang and Wen Xu's escape.

Not to mention, until now, the Criminal Department has not found the slightest trace of the East Sea King.

Right now, the matter of the hidden princess is about to start again.

Li Xuan bowed his head slightly, these are Pei Yan and Li Jingye's affairs, although Li Xuan is involved, it has little to do with it.

The problem lies in the sentence Li Xian said, "Honest gentleman, loyal to the king, honest performance", the key lies in the last sentence.

Honest play.

Since the death of Emperor Li Hong last year, Li Xuan left Luoyang and basically sent a piece of music to the East Palace every three days.

Later, after Li Xuan's wedding, this time was changed to once every seven days, and although the time was extended, the performance continued.

The content of it is all what Li Xuan has seen and heard on weekdays, how to deal with trouble, and even the battle of Meilingguan and Muzhou has not been delayed at all, and the truth is restored to Li Xian as much as possible.

Because the concert may fall into the hands of the Empress Wu and the emperor, Li Xuan is very cautious in the concert, the priority is different, the importance is clear, and some sensitive things are basically played truthfully.

Of course, Li Xuan is not so honest, but many of the things he does in private are not even known to Yu Ze, and it is even more impossible to play the East Palace.

However, Li Xuan really didn't expect that the emperor would send someone to review the content of his recital.

That's right, that's what Li Xian meant just now.

The emperor's heart is too deep.

Fortunately, Li Xuan knew that the concert would inevitably fall into the hands of the emperor and the empress of martial arts, so whatever could be found, he played it as truthfully as possible, and never let people grasp the slightest trick.

Now that the results of the emperor's review have come out, a hat of "sincere gentleman, loyal to the king, and honest performance" is buckled on his head, on the contrary, Li Xian's words also contain other people.

For example, Pei Yan and Li Jingye who were standing opposite Li Xuan.
