Northwest of Chang'an, above the Wei River.

The drizzle fell on the surface of the river, splashing ripples one after another.

A canopy boat stopped on the north side of the Wei River, I don't know when it started, there were many fewer boats on the Wei River all of a sudden, and in the end he was the only one left.

At this moment, a fast boat came quickly from the direction of Chang'an and headed towards Wugong County at great speed.

Just as the clipper was about to arrive in front of the canopy boat, a cold shout sounded: "Stop the boat, stop the boat immediately." ”

A figure had already rushed to the bow of the boat in the blink of an eye, and without the slightest hesitation, his right palm slashed into the air and slammed directly into the river.

With a "boom", a wave of water suddenly exploded on the surface of the river, and a chain of tens of meters long crossed the river suddenly appeared on the Wei River.

Under the strong anti-seismic force, the clipper rotated extremely fast on the Wei River, but soon, it completely stopped.

At this moment, the black canopy boat by the river slowly moved forward.

At the same time, a faint voice sounded in the canopy boat: "The spring rain is as expensive as oil, and it is full of streets, slipping and falling Bachelor Luo, laughing at a herd of cattle." ”

"King Bo Luobin, the county lord of Wugong County, has seen the king of Nanchang!" Luo Binwang, who looked like a middle-aged scribe and had an elegant demeanor, stopped his movements early, he stood on the deck, and looked at the canopy boat calmly: "King Nanchang just said that, did he think he was a cow?" ”

Inside the canopy boat, Li Xuan sighed lightly and said, "At this moment, whoever is watching me and waiting is the cow!" ”

Luo Bingwang's vigilant eyes quickly looked around, under the four fields, there was obviously no one, but Luo Bingwang always felt that there were people watching all the time.

……

The drizzle above his head fell and fell on the back of Luo Bingwang's neck, making him feel a burst of coolness, and at the same time a burst of vigilance.

"Isn't the king of Nanchang waiting in the imperial city today, today is the last day of the imperial examination, and those in your mansion have heard that the writing is good." Luo Bingwang's expression seemed relaxed, but his eyes were staring at Li Xuan, and his right hand was silently pressed on the handle of the knife on his waist, covering under his clothes.

"The spring rain is as precious as oil, and the gentleman is talented, but he doesn't feel the slightest feeling, which really disappoints the king." Li Xuan's voice of emotion came from inside the canopy boat, but strangely, King Luo Bin was still indifferent at the moment.

Li Xuan chuckled, and then said: "If what this king remembers is correct, Mr. was just out of office, and he was opened up by Uncle Daowang, but when Uncle Daowang was about to confer the official position on Mr. and let Mr. describe his talents, Mr. was ashamed of showing off and resigned from the order. Can the gentleman tell the king, is that really the case? ”

King of Dao, King of Dao Li Yuanqing, during the Yonghui period, he was appointed as the history of Huazhou and Xuzhou, and he had quite a political achievement, and Li Yuanqing, the king of Taoism, was filial to his mother.

In the first year of Lin De, King Dao died, and his nickname was filial piety.

A prince of the clan who is nicknamed filial piety, no matter what, it is difficult to ask others about their talents and let others show themselves, and what to do with self-show.

Especially a scholar who has taken several scientific examinations and achieved nothing, even if he is conceited, he should not be like this.

There must be something hidden in this.

Luo Bingwang looked at Li Xuan with an indifferent face, and there was not the slightest urgency in his expression, but the hand holding the handle of the knife behind his back did not relax at all.

Li Xuan chuckled, and then continued: "Mr. did not accept Uncle Daowang's expedition, but not long after, directly in the center, the official worship Fenglilang, awarded Dongtai Detailed Bachelor, although Mr. participated in the imperial examination in his early years, but has not been ranked, but in the Yonghui years, he was suddenly awarded an official, Mr. has met a benefactor, since it is also a benefactor, why does Mr. not want to be under the command of Uncle Daowang, is it worried that he will see through you?" ”

Although the official of Fenglilang is not large, it is the etiquette of the court meeting, and it can be said that only the emperor's cronies can take office.

Is King Luo Bing a close confidant of the emperor, the answer is naturally not.

So the person who can let Luo Bingwang take up this position is probably not ordinary.

Luo Bingwang ignored Li Xuan, and the clipper under his feet began to slowly retreat.

At the same time, Luo Bingwang still looked around vigilantly, as if there was really someone secretly peeping at him in a place he couldn't see, making him extremely alert.

"In the last years of Yonghui, Mr. was suddenly degraded because of things, this king originally thought that Mr. was belittled by His Majesty because he dared to admonish his face, but when he thought that it was the Yonghui period, he had to wonder, what kind of role did Mr. play in that matter?" Li Xuan's words made Luo Binwang's face more and more cold, although he was still holding the handle of the knife tightly, but at this moment, the clipper under his feet had turned around.

A drizzle of rain fell from the sky and fell on King Luo Bing, but it did not wet his clothes.

The distance between him and the canopy boat was slowly widening, and while Luo Bingwang keenly observed the surroundings, he looked at Li Xuan again.

At this moment, Li Xuan was still in the canopy boat, and he couldn't see anyone at all.

Although the canopy boat is moving forward slowly, the distance between it and the clipper boat is rapidly increasing.

"Because of the derogatory matter, joining the army in the Western Regions, what you committed at the beginning was not a trivial matter, sir." Li Xuan's cold voice still surrounded Luo Bingwang's ears.

Back then, even Wang Bo's father, in order to intercede for his son's capital crime, was just to send Jiaozhi as the county order, and Luo Bin Wang sent to the Western Regions to directly join the army.

From Feng Lilang, Dongtai Shenzheng Bachelor, directly sent to the Western Regions to join the army, it seems that from Chang'an to the Western Regions has exceeded 3,000 miles.

"What happened back then, the prince asked someone casually, and he could also ask the truth." Luo Bingwang stood steadily on the deck, the distance between him and Li Xuan was rapidly widening, at that time, Luo Bingwang finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Li Xuan and said: "Xia Guan was framed for putting the wrong ritual instrument that day, and then when he was guilty, he took the initiative to apply to go to the Western Regions to serve in the army, but he was not involved in any incidents that should not be involved. ”

During the Yonghui period, the biggest thing in the government and the opposition was the power struggle between the emperor and the eldest grandson Wuji.

Although King Luo Bin denied it, Li Xuan still guessed that King Luo Bin must have been implicated in the power struggle between the emperor and the eldest grandson Wuji.

If he was just an ordinary low-level bureaucrat, then Li Xuan might think that it was because of his talent that he encountered the jealousy of his colleagues, but he was the king of the East China Sea and the son of Li Jiancheng, the hidden prince, so instigating Li Zhi and the eldest grandson Wuji to fight among themselves was what they were most willing to see.

The relationship between Li Zhi and the eldest grandson Wuji has reached the last step, and I am afraid that these people will inevitably contribute to it.

Naturally, King Luo Bin would not say these to Li Xuan, especially now, the malice among them has become clear.

"Mr. has been in the Western Regions for many years, I'm afraid he has a lot of business." Li Xuan's casual words made Luo Bingwang's expression change slightly.

He looked at Li Xuan deeply, and finally stopped denying it, and said softly: "It seems that the king of Nanchang has studied the lower officials quite deeply." ”

"O Western Regions, the land of wealth." Li Xuan sighed softly, seemingly saying nothing, but in fact he said everything.

Too many people have their eyes set on the Western Regions.

The reason why the Tang Dynasty and Tubo are at war is because of the wealth of the Western Regions.

In Datang, Li Jingye, Li Xuan, Luo Bin Wang, and even the internal guards all set their sights on this piece of wealth.

And, of course, Li Xuan.

In the Western Regions, no matter how much power you hide, the DPRK and China can't control it.

But once the foundation of your power in the court is broken, then all your power is in danger of being swallowed up.

Just like the current Li Xuan and Luo Bingwang.

……

Luo Bingwang stood on the deck and stared at Li Xuan, although the distance between the two people was still widening rapidly, but Luo Bingwang felt that Li Xuan's threat was increasing rapidly, and even if he left today, he was afraid that he would ......

Will the king of Nanchang let him go so easily?

King Luo Bin was on the clipper, quickly going eastward downstream, and Li Xuan's voice was already ringing in his ears unhurriedly: "This king can't figure it out, now that he is no longer the former Sui, why do you want to use the power of foreign clans to destroy the Tang Dynasty...... Silla, Turkic, Tianyin Sect, and Tibet, do you really want to see that the rivers and mountains laid down by the ancestors are trampled by foreigners like this, and then they can reward you with some poor scraps. ”

In the cynicism, there is irrepressible anger.

Even Li Xuan never thought that he would borrow the power of foreign races to realize his ambitions, but this person really didn't seem to see that Datang might fall into an extremely dangerous situation at any time, and he was making trouble with the wind and rain.

Li Xuan's voice clearly poured into Luo Binwang's ears, and his whole person instantly clenched his fists tightly.

He tried to say something, but finally gritted his teeth.

"What this king can't figure out the most, is what do you want those two prince seals for?" Li Xuan's voice was still ringing in Luo Bingwang's ears, but at this moment, their clipper was already a long distance away from Li Xuan's canopy boat, but Li Xuan's voice still sounded very clearly.

Others, is it really in the awning boat?

Luo Binwang's expression suddenly became solemn, he raised his head and looked at the upper reaches of the Wei River.

Although there is light rain today, there should be no other boats on the Wei River at this moment, except for the two of them.

Unless, the Yongzhou Water Division is helping to intercept the boat.

Luo Bingwang didn't know what to think, and with a wave of his hand, the clipper under his feet suddenly stopped advancing.

Turning around, King Luo Bin looked at the phantom of the canopy boat in the distance, and said coldly: "This seat is just to get what originally belonged to me." ”

The prince's seal originally belonged to the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, so it was naturally inherited by him.

"Is that really yours?"

Li Xuan's cold rhetorical question made Luo Bingwang's brows furrow deeply.

"The things of the year, in the final analysis, are just a battle for the power of life and death, the winner of the king and the loser of the game of Kou, although the king did not experience the events of the year, but also knew that after that incident, except for a few old ministers of the hidden prince in the whole world, there are not many people who scolded Emperor Taizong for not doing that, the court of the clan, the ministers who died because of this matter, there are no more than ten, this king really admires Emperor Taizong, but what if the winner is Xi Wang Bo?"

Li Xuan sneered, and said with great disgust: "I am afraid that under the instigation of Uncle Qi Wang, he will massacre the entire clan, and there will be rumors between the government and the opposition, and foreign tribes will kill him, I am afraid that he will be defeated, and it is best to do it badly, and he will be forced to flee to the south." ”

If it is said that Li Jiancheng is praised, there are praises and disparages, but no one praises Li Yuanji, inside and outside the court.

Trampling on the people, plundering people's money, harming people's wives and daughters, playing with people's lives, abandoning the city and fleeing, and being incompetent on the battlefield.

When the Turks went south, Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng resolutely moved the capital to Xiangyang, which was simply a mouse's eye.

There is even a case of Yang Wengan planning troops to rebel......

These are all things that happened during the Wude period, and the history books can be checked.

Even Concubine Yang, who was later included in the palace by Emperor Taizong, once reported to Emperor Taizong before the Xuanwumen Change.

Li Yuanji has been so good that he has almost obeyed his words, and Li Xuan's sympathy for Prince Yin has long been gone.

"But in any case, it is not a reason for him to kill his brother and kill his brother, force his father to abdicate, and occupy his brother and daughter-in-law." Luo Bingwang stood on top of Weishui, and Li Xuan's dissatisfaction was blocked by his words.
