In the study, Li Bi's face was solemn, and he cautiously arched his hand: "Princess, the secret line in the palace sent a message: At the beginning of February, someone died in the East Palace, and there was a rumor in the palace to investigate......

Liu Jinyu's brows instantly erected: "Dead people in the East Palace are common, what is there to investigate." ”

"In February, there was a newspaper in the East Palace, and rumors spread secretly in the East Palace." Li Bi's face was already extremely cautious.

Liu Jinyu immediately understood that the dead man must be after the rumors, and she subconsciously asked, "What rumors?" ”

"Donggong Line News: After the full moon banquet of the emperor's eldest grandson, some people are rumored that the prince is not the queen of heaven. People also died after that. After Li Bi finished speaking, he bowed deeply.

Liu Jinyu couldn't help but shudder, and then hurriedly asked, "Our people are not involved, right?" ”

"The subordinates don't know, because the subordinates never know their identities, and these people are all inserted by the prince after careful consideration."

Li Bi shook his head slightly, and said cautiously: "In the East Palace and Daming Palace, there are countless palace maids, and no one knows who is who. ”

"Tell them, be careful." Liu Jinyu shook her head, she couldn't help but be a little worried that these things would involve the palace.

"I can't tell you." Li Bi looked up at Liu Jinyu and said: "Over the years, the subordinates have only accepted the news from these channels and have not sent back letters. ”

Again, he had never checked who these people were, and there was no need to look up.

Liu Jinyu raised her eyebrows, and Li Xuan's solemn look flashed in her mind.

She didn't know who these people were, so she wouldn't do anything about them, so that even if something happened to them, she wouldn't have to do anything, and she wouldn't be implicated.

"You say, will these people know about the doctor?" Liu Jinyu's eyes flashed slightly.

Zhao Gong, the court doctor, is the commander of the secret guards in the palace, and Li Xuan installed these people, and it was indispensable to pass through Zhao Gong.

Similarly, if something happens to these people, the first person to help them is Zhao Gong.

Similarly, when necessary, the person who killed them was also Zhao Gong.

……

Liu Jinyu looked at Li Bi and asked, "Does the prince know about these things?" ”

"The prince knows." Li Bi bowed slightly.

"What did the prince say?"

"The prince didn't reply."

Liu Jinyu took a deep breath and looked solemn.

No reply is the best reply.

Liu Jinyu remembered Li Xuan's explanation to her before leaving Chang'an, and she finally understood now that all this today was originally in Li Xuan's plan.

"So, it's time to stay away from the prince."

Liu Jinyu nodded, she could see that her husband was not optimistic about the future of the prince.

Over the years, her husband has advised the prince more than once, but the prince has not been able to listen to it a few times.

Now, the storm is rising.

Liu Jinyu shook his head slightly, it was not unusual to attack the prince.

There have always been many people who want to pull the prince down, Li Xian and Li Dan may not have many ideas, but the people around them have many ideas.

Not to mention Ming Chongyan and Beimen Bachelor, even Yao Lingzhang and Li Xuan, they may not have been moved.

But the people who have always been active in their hands are just Ming Chongyan and Beimen Bachelor.

Li Xuan and Yao Lingzhang, even if they occasionally admonished the prince, they were actually just cold bystanders.

Moreover, the two brothers, Li Xian and Li Dan, when they dreamed back at midnight, did they really not have the idea of sitting on the dragon chair?

It has never been easy to remove the crown prince from his position.

Ming Chongyan and Beimen Bachelor have not targeted Li Xian for a year or two, but they have never fundamentally shaken Li Xian's position.

The people around Li Xian are not vegetarians, and Huangfu Gongyi and Zhang Da'an are not simple characters.

Not to mention, it was the emperor who really supported Li Xian.

Before the emperor wanted to depose Li Xian, no one could shake his position.

……

"Also stay away from the king of the prime minister." Liu Jinyu muttered to herself, no wonder Li Xuan didn't let her go out easily.

The battle for succession, but anyone who gets into it is a huge trouble.

Those who want to attack the prince, those who want to protect the prince, will use them as pawns to use.

Raising his head, Liu Jinyu looked at Li Bi and said, "In the future, as long as you and I can know the news from the palace, no one else in the palace is allowed to know." ”

"Whoa!" Li Pen arched his hand and his gaze fell on the paper.

The paper was full of dense lowercase numbers, and the translation of these secret words was only clear to Li Xuan, Li Bi and Li Mo.

Even when translating, you can extract it directly from your heart, and you don't need to write it down on paper at all.

Liu Jinyu lowered her head and thought carefully about the things inside.

Although her family Langjun admonished the prince from time to time, she could feel that Li Xuan didn't trust the prince much in her heart.

Or don't think that the crown prince can be the final winner of this battle for succession.

Therefore, neither the Peng Wangfu nor the Lecheng County Mansion can be involved.

But there will always be a day when the crown prince will step down, and even her family will have a day when she will be a princess, so you need to prepare for the future......

Liu Jinyu suddenly thought that maybe her family Langjun was already preparing.

Her family has a good relationship with the British king, not only because they grew up together, but also because he is betting in advance.

It is precisely because they have this relationship that Ming Chongyan and the North Gate Bachelor, and even the palace did not take the threat of this relationship into their eyes.

Or rather, they don't care about the king yet.

In other words, the power possessed by the British king is far from being a threat to everyone.

Liu Jinyu looked at the paper in front of him, and suddenly, the faces of He Zhizhang, Zhuge Minghui and others flashed through Liu Jinyu's mind.

She immediately understood that her family had prepared these people for the future use of the Crown.

But that's not enough, it's not enough.

Liu Jinyu remembered that among her old subordinates, there were also many descendants.

If it is two years, these will be sent to the Guozijian one after another......

There can't be too many people, too many are easy to attract attention, and it is easy to be picked by people in the middle.

Three or two people are enough.

Liu Jinyu took out the paper from the side and began to write quickly on it.

The owners of this letter are all local people who have joined the army and county orders.

Among them, there is a man named Song Wuben, who is now the commander of Liyang County, and in his early years, he accompanied Liu Renliang to conquer Silla.

Song Wuben's son is called Song Yuanfu, Weizhou Sihu.

Song Yuanfu has a son, who is also a famous young genius in Weizhou, named Song Jing.

……

The bright moon hangs high, and the blue sky is like a wash.

Huge bamboo rafts are paddling across the wide lake.

The cold wind of the night blew, and the soldiers in black armor on the bamboo raft held the lance expressionlessly, staring at the lakeside town in front of them.

Li Xuan stood at the front of the bamboo row, holding the eight-sided Han sword in his hand, staring at the temple above the town in front of him.

The temple is called Dacang Temple, which is located in the northwest of the city of Ruoergai.

After a long journey of a month and a half, Li Xuan and his party finally came to Ruoergai.

Li Xuan turned around, and the bamboo rows behind him were densely packed with soldiers.

3,000 people, 1,000 Hangzhou guards, 1,000 Yangzhou guards, and 1,000 Yizhou mountain soldiers.

Along the way, they not only had to go up the Yellow River, kill the checkpoint guards of Tubo and Dangxiang along the way, and even ensure that the follow-up roads were smooth.

The Tibetan people must be clean, and the grain and grass must be able to keep up at any time.

After all, what Li Xuan wants is not a temporary passage, but a long-term business route for development.

Qinghai specialties, salt, fur, herbs and jade.

There was no shortage of salt and herbs in Shu, and the requirements for fur were not high, but jade was lacking by many local officials, nobles, and wealthy merchants.

Although there is not much demand, it is good to have demand.

If the road is open, then naturally someone will come.

Western Regions, foreign merchants.

The brocade, silk, and tea in Shu can be transported from Songzhou to Changzhou, and then sent to the Western Regions from Xituyuhun.

The specialties of the Western Regions can also be sent to Shuzhong through this trade route.

But on the premise, there should be fewer checkpoints on this road, so that merchants can be attracted not to go to Guanzhong in the north, but to go straight to Shuzhong.

In this way, even if the road is poor, as long as there are enough benefits, there will be enough caravans.

Li Xuan turned his head and looked at Ruoergai City in the distance.

I'm afraid no one has noticed this trade route yet, but by the time they do, Li Xuan has already won it all.

……

The bamboo raft docked, and before everyone could go ashore, more than a dozen black shadows had jumped out of the darkness.

The soldier on the raft raised his crossbow in an instant.

At this time, more than a dozen black shadows were in the forefront, and a figure whispered: "Zhao Zhao has Tang." ”

"Heaven and all nations."

Li Xuan responded immediately, and then jumped directly to the shore, grabbed the arm of the figure opposite, suppressed his excitement and asked, "Thirteenth brother, why did you come in person?" ”

Li Chongjing patted Li Xuan's shoulder with a smile and said: "When your people arrived in Songzhou, my father did not hesitate at all, and immediately raised troops to attack the north, and led people over the mountains and mountains for my brother, and came here three days ago, but I didn't expect you to really spend this hundred-mile death swamp." ”

"The Death Swamp is an exaggeration, and there is still a black river to cross in the middle." Li Xuan smiled, glanced back at the water surface that was obviously much higher than usual, and said, "It went so smoothly, in fact, thanks to the rainstorm that rained for a day and a night three days ago. ”

The tide rose, and the torrential rain fell for three days and three nights, and the water surface of the entire Ruoergai Baili Marsh directly rose by a large section, which allowed Li Xuan and them to pass smoothly.

Li Chongjing looked at the bamboo rafts on the water that were more than twenty meters long and more than ten meters wide, and couldn't help but look at Li Xuan and asked, "Twenty-seven Lang, you didn't predict this rain in advance, did you?" ”

"Little brother, how can it be so exaggerated." Waving his hand slightly, Li Xuan said: "But it will be rainy in summer here, but it is in the expectation of the younger brother." ”

"No wonder you're sure you're coming from Changzhou." Li Chongjing couldn't help but sigh.

Li Xuan turned sideways, and countless black-armored soldiers had already landed on the shore, and at the same time quickly headed towards the town in the distance.

"This road, rainy in summer and frozen in winter, is relatively easy to pass, spring and autumn quagmire, who dares to run around." Li Xuan turned his head to look at Li Chongjing and said, "Thirteenth brother, how is the grain and grass prepared?" ”

"It's already in front of the Songzhou Army...... I don't know what's going on this year, but several states and counties are sending grain and grass very positively. Li Chongjing couldn't help but shake his head.

He knows very well the temperament of the officials of the state and county, and he has always been able to delay and delay, and he can't get rid of it, but this time it is really rare to be so efficient.

Li Xuan smiled and said, "It's good to be ready, this road is open, and you should feel a thorn in your back on the Qinling." ”

Li Chongjing nodded seriously.

The army of Jiannan Province is divided into two roads: north and south.

The South Road Army was led by Li Jinxing, the general of Zuo Qianniuwei, and went to the line from Luding, Yajiang, Litang to Nyingchi.

The northern army was led by Li Xiaoyi, the prince of Liang County, and traveled through the areas of Songzhou, Partridge Mountain, and Anqiang, and arrived at the source of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.

In the north of Ruoergai, because of the hundred miles of lakes and marshes, the army could not pass, so it was abandoned.

Now that Li Xuan has taken the road of Songtsan Gampo and opened up the road from Tuyuhun to Shuzhong, then the entire northern line will be alive.

……

"Twenty-seven, what's next?" Li Chongjing looked at Ruoergai County in the distance with a fierce expression.

Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "Don't worry, let the army come in first...... The people here can live, but those party leaders will at least half die.

The betrayal of Datang is not without a price. ”
