In front of the apse, in the small courtyard, a bright bonfire was lit, illuminating half of the courtyard.

The crescent moon above the head is like a hook, but for some reason, the whole Lishan Mountain is up and down, and there is a sense of shadows.

Li Xuan sat behind the bonfire, the eight-sided Han sword fell on his right hand, and his eyes were looking at the roast chicken that kept dripping oil on it.

The flames kept licking, and the smell of meat immediately rose.

Li Xian sat on the side, swallowing saliva several times in a row, but he didn't have Li Xuan's methods, every time he turned it, the meat was grilled more fragrant.

Li Dan on the other side was also staring at the roast chicken, but he was still sitting upright, not as skinless and faceless as Li Xian.

Li Xuan glanced at the two brothers calmly before he spoke: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is compiling annotations to the Book of the Later Han, but the minister has always suggested that His Highness can read more about the Book of Han, Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing, and even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xuan paused slightly, and then said: "For the two highnesses, the minister also suggested that you can read more "Han Shu", the biography of Liu Wu, the king of Han Liang. ”

Li Xian glanced at Li Xuan in some surprise, and he turned his head sideways with no interest.

Li Dan on the side groaned slightly, and then said: "Uncle Wang, the world often says that the Han Dynasty died by force, I don't know how to avoid such a thing?" ”

Li Xuan looked at Li Dan with some surprise, what Li Dan said was nothing more than an allusion to the fact that today's Datang is already the number one power in the world.

Even Tibet, although it had the victory of Dafeichuan, it still cowered on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and did not dare to plunder eastward.

Although Tibet was a threat, it was still far from being a Turk in the early years.

The Tang Dynasty is like this, is it still necessary to fight every year, in case of recurrence, isn't there a danger of repeating the mistakes of the previous Han Dynasty?

Li Xuan nodded, and said seriously: "Your Highness's words are actually wrong, the Han Dynasty died strongly, why is the Han Dynasty strong, Emperor Wu is only."

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the strong one was no better than Emperor Wu, and the other emperors, that is, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, were too far behind.

In the Western Han Dynasty, after Emperor Wu, there were seven generations of emperors, a total of 80 years, and there was Zhaoxuan Zhongxing, who came to the Han Dynasty to die strongly.

The death of the Han Dynasty is nothing more than the prosperity of the family; Later Han, even more so. ”

"Therefore, the imperial brother wants to compile the "Book of the Later Han". Li Dan suddenly got up.

"This statement is wrong, the book of the Later Han Dynasty may be related to later generations, but it is not good for the current dynasty." Li Xuan snorted lightly and said, "That's just a group of ...... My dynasty since the first year of Emperor Gaozu Wude, to now, is less than a number of Jiazi, just when the hard work, why bother to study the cause of the strange road, Johnson and Woon, if this book is completed, there is no great benefit in the country, Your Majesty will not be too happy. ”

Li Xuan's words immediately attracted the attention of Li Xian and Li Dan.

If Li Xuan said something else, they might not care too much, but Li Xuan said that the emperor would be unhappy, and the two brothers immediately cared.

At this time, Li Xuan changed the topic: "The turning point of the Han Dynasty's strength and prosperity is nothing more than the scourge of witches, the contradictions in the inner court, and too many deaths and injuries of Zhongliang; Later, the general Li Guangli led the army on the front, but Emperor Wu imprisoned his wife and children in the rear, and finally the front line was defeated, and 70,000 elite Han troops lost the grassland. ”

Originally, Li Guangli was quite smooth on the front line, defeating the Xiongnu several times, and the Han army pursued to the city of Mrs. Fan, but the Xiongnu scattered and fled, not daring to confront the Han army.

But at this moment, the truth of the witch curse was exposed, and Emperor Wu was unwilling to wait for a moment, and even ignored Li Guangli's leading the army on the front line, and directly imprisoned his wife and children.

It's too overbearing.

If Li Guangli was a loyal and powerful person, he might grit his teeth and swallow everything, command the army, and defeat the Xiongnu, but Li Guangli had a bad plan, the conspiracy was revealed, and he was in a trance, which finally led to the defeat of the army, and even he himself led the remnants of the army to surrender to the Turks, and the power of the Han army suddenly stopped.

"If Emperor Wu is given enough time, maybe regroup, it is not known, but only two years later, Emperor Wu died, Emperor Xiaozhao Liu Fuling ascended the throne at a young age, and then he was an adult for a long time, died of a sudden illness, and there was no heir to succeed to the throne. Although it was soon abolished, Emperor Liu Xun ascended the throne with Xiaoxuan, and Zhaoxuan Zhongxing, the general trend of the world has been irreparable, and everything is in the beginning, after the witch curse, the emperor's patience was lost. ”

Li Xuan pulled the flames with a wooden stick, and his eyes fell on Li Xian and Li Dan.

Li Xian is somewhat similar to the Marquis of Haidu, and Li Dan is somewhat similar to Liu Xun, the emperor of Xiaoxuan, and this future change is somewhat embarrassing.

Today, it is rare that the two of them are willing to listen to Li Xuan's chat, and Li Xuan will tell these things to the two brothers, and they can listen to a few points, which is their own creation.

After listening to what Li Xuan said, Li Xian was still stunned, and Li Dan said: "So Uncle Wang suggested that if you have time, you should read more "Hanshu". ”

"Yes!"

Hearing Li Xuan's categorical answer, Li Dan nodded seriously, and then kept everything in mind.

The reason why he was willing to listen to Li Xuan's words carefully was that he felt that Li Xuan's words were very reasonable, and secondly, because his teacher Ming Chongyan asked him to learn more from Li Xuan, observe his words and deeds, and then use them for his own use.

The masters of the Xiangwang Mansion also have the same attitude.

The king of Nanchang was able to sit firmly in the position of Honglu Shaoqing at a young age, and his personal ability was outstanding, which was extremely rare among the younger generation.

His personal conversation, his skill in doing things, and his understanding of world affairs are far beyond others.

Not to mention his peers, even many other elders, in terms of handling things, they are not as good as him.

"Uncle Wang......" Li Dan was just about to continue asking, but at this moment, a rush of footsteps came from in front of the main hall.

Li Dan frowned, and looked back, who dared to disturb at this time.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a figure wearing a black hood on the dim mountain road, unable to see clearly, under the guidance of three attendants, bypassing Li Xuan and the others, and heading towards the door of the apse from the other side.

"Stop." Li Xuan's cold voice sounded behind Li Dan, and then he saw Li Xuan stand up directly, casting a tall shadow on the ground.

Li Xuan stood there with a cold face, and shouted unceremoniously: "Didn't you see anyone, you don't even know how to salute!" ”

Li Xuan is the king of the county, and the two people next to him, King Li Xian and King Li Dan, are both the prince of the dynasty and the son of the emperor.

Now in the entire Lishan, except for the crown prince and the crown princess, that is, the three of them are the largest.

But now that someone came in from the outside, he didn't say anything about the three of them, and even walked quietly to the inner hall, Li Xuan's face suddenly became unhappy.

The three chamberlains looked at each other, and finally glanced at the man in black, and several of them immediately bowed down and said, "The slave maid has seen King Ying, King Xiang and His Royal Highness King Nanchang. ”

"Who is he, why doesn't he salute, and what is he doing in the dark, is he an assassin?" Li Xuan instantly planted an assassin's hat on the man's head.

Before the man could speak, the attendant on the side hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, this is a special summoning by His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave and maid ......."

"Shut up!" Li Xuan looked at him coldly, until he shuddered and shut up, Li Xuan fell on the last, wearing a black hood, his whole body was hidden in the shadows, and then said softly: "Tonight, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not summon anyone here, and there were only four assassins who trespassed into the apse tonight......"

Before Li Xuan's words fell, the shock on the faces of the three chamberlains and the man in black had not yet fully emerged.

A sword light rose up in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, it had already cut through the throats of the four people at the same time, and blood spurted out in an instant.

"Boom...... ...... last man in black wanted to say something, but with a "poof", the man had already fallen directly to the ground.

Li Xian and Li Dan stood aside, looking stupid, why did they suddenly kill someone.

Without any warning, why did you suddenly jump up and kill someone?

Li Xuan withdrew the eight-sided Han sword, the bright blade was erected in front of him, and the blade was as bright as autumn water, reflecting Li Xuan's own while also reflecting the stunned looks on Li Dan and Li Xian's faces.

Li Xuan didn't look back to explain to the two, and didn't even look at the two, just said lightly: "Someone." ”

Li Xuan gave an order, and the next moment, the prince's right guard led Sima Wei Chi Xunyu to walk out of the dark shadows on one side with more than a dozen right guards, and then arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang! ”

Li Xuan waved his hand calmly and said, "Let's dispose of the corpses, if anyone asks, even if there are a few little thieves who don't know whether they are alive or dead, they are good at the hot spring palace ban and are killed." ”

"Whoa!" Wei Chi Xunyu did not hesitate at all, and immediately waved his hand back, and more than a dozen right guards immediately stepped forward and dragged up the attendants and black-clothed men on the ground.

The hood of the man in black fell, and he had the face of an unusually pretty man, but unfortunately, his face was extremely pale at the moment.

Eight soldiers carried the body away, while the rest quickly brought a basin of water and thoroughly cleaned the entire ground, leaving no trace of blood on the ground.

Wei Chi Xunyu bowed his hand to Li Xuan, and then retreated silently.

……

The cold wind blew, and Li Xian, who was standing there, shivered inexplicably, and he couldn't help asking, "Uncle Wang, ...... just now?"

Li Xuan waved his hand and directly stopped Li Xian's words.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from the apse.

Li Xian turned around, and the prince's family ordered Murong guests to come out of the apse quickly, and when they saw Li Xuan standing there, they subconsciously looked at the ground, and saw that there were only wet water stains inside, and nothing else, Murong guests couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Walking quickly in front of Li Xuan, Murong guest directly bowed his hand: "Lord Wang." ”

Li Xuan pressed his hand on the hilt of the eight-sided Han Sword, looked sideways at Murong Guest, and asked softly, "Everything is arranged." ”

"Yes," Murong said with a bow, "The crown prince and the crown princess have entered the prince soup, and the prince's medicine has all been integrated into the soup. ”

Li Xuan looked up at the night sky full of stars, and said softly: "Herald, within an hour, no one is allowed to enter without summoning." ”

"Whoa!" Murong gave up his hand, and then walked quickly back into the apse.

During the whole process, Murong guests didn't even look at Li Xian and Li Dan, and they disappeared into the apse in a blink of an eye.

After a while, Li Xuancai said faintly: "Do you understand?" ”

Li Xian nodded solemnly and said, "This is my father's order." ”

"That's what the queen of heaven means." Li Xuan took a deep breath and said softly: "Emperor Eldest Sun, whoever has the Emperor Eldest Sun will have a talisman. ”

After Li Xuan finished speaking, Li Xian immediately grabbed his robe.
