Chapter 1028 Ming Chongyan's whereabouts, the dark tide is surging

Spring in February, and the list will be released in March.

The new branch list eye Yuan Xigu, the author Lang Yuan Wanqing nephew.

"Grant Gucheng County Lieutenant, go to Dingzhou." Empress Wu walked in the back garden with buds in the early bloom, and looked sideways at Yuan Wanqing at will.

"Thank you diva." Yuan Wanqing bowed down seriously and held his breath...... Dingzhou Thorn History, Huo Wang Li Yuanliang.

"What has King Nanchang been doing lately?" Empress Wu asked seemingly casually.

"After returning to the sky, the king of Nanchang since leaving Beijing, first arrived in Tianshui, coincided with a light snow, and then turned to rain, and finally arrived in Hezhou, along the Yellow River, up Jianzha, to Tongren, and then to Guide, Guinan, and finally arrived in Qugou, after staying in Qugou for half a month, returned to Xinghai, and half a month later, went to Maduo, and the side concubine Koji stayed in Xinghai."

Yuan Wanqing gave up his hand and told Empress Wu the details of Li Xuan's whereabouts in Changzhou word by word.

"I've been in Qugou for half a month, what are you doing?" Empress Wu keenly grasped the key point.

At the beginning, Li Xuan wanted to set Changzhou Prefecture in Qugou, but later it was changed to Xinghai by the DPRK, and many actions were forced to be broken.

Qugou, north of Shanzhou, west of Chaka, east of the Yellow River, south of the grassland high mountains.

Once Qugou is chosen as the state rule, Li Xuan can do a lot of actions.

You can even build up strength faster.

But it's a pity that some people in the DPRK and China also saw the key point of Qugou, so they directly rejected it.

Now that Li Xuan has been in Qugou for half a month, how can he not be suspicious.

"Back to the Queen." Yuan Wanqing said seriously: "The king of Nanchang built a construction equipment institute in Qugou, built special equipment, and prepared to cross the Tongtian River. ”

"Oh, by the way, I'm going to enter Subi this year." Empress Wu suddenly paused, and after a slight pause, she continued to ask, "Is there really so much gold in Subi?" ”

Yuan Wanqing nodded and said, "Subi does have gold mines, but there are not so many of them, and the gold dug up over the years has been sent to Luo. ”

Empress Wu bowed slightly, and said: "Keep an eye on it, this palace must know how much he sent to the court after taking the gold mine, and how much he kept." ”

"Whoa!" Yuan Wanqing bowed down to receive the order, and then said: "The Turkic side has found the descendant of Prince Subi, who is a twenty-year-old unmarried woman. ”

"Mrs. Feng Changguo, King Subi, assist the King of Nanchang to take Subi." A smile appeared at the corner of Empress Wu's mouth.

"Yes!" Yuan Wanqing twitched slightly, the king of Nanchang is a famous husband and wife.

Last year, the queen of heaven gave the daughter of the koji family as the side concubine of the king of Nanchang, and the king of Nanchang was stunned and sent people to the palace, so that the princess of Nanchang was trained for half a year, and then the family was harmonious.

I don't know how many people in Chang'an envy and wait to follow suit, but now ......

"King Nanchang just cares about Subi, don't let him worry about other aspects." Empress Wu explained.

"Whoa!"

"What has the King been up to lately?" Empress Wu walked slowly forward and asked casually.

"In learning to manage mountains and rivers and water conservancy, King Nanchang and Huang Rensu are both good at water conservancy, and His Royal Highness is also ready to start from this aspect." After Yuan Wanqing finished speaking, he added: "Your Majesty is quite relieved to know it. ”

"The prince is attentive to state affairs, San Lang and Shiro are also busy, and even the main palace is much easier." Empress Wu said lightly.

Yuan Wanqing didn't dare to reply.

Recently, the prince has indeed been very attentive to court affairs.

The household department inspected the fields, the criminal department corrected old cases, and the officials inspected the dereliction of duty.

In addition to the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, the prince basically did not let go.

The household department inspected the acres of fields, and specifically inspected the number of acres of fields in the mansions of the princes and princes near Yongzhou.

It's normal to do it, and if there is an excess, it will be punished immediately.

Princes and officials have all the tax-exempt acres of land, and there are many places where taxes are not paid in excess.

This kind of thing, once caught by the prince, it is difficult for the Empress Wu to intercede.

In the end, it spread to the body of the family, and it was very much a matter of paying taxes.

The ground near the entire Chang'an was suddenly cleared.

Therefore, the emperor also issued a decree to praise the crown prince.

Now the crown prince is gearing up and is ready to spread this kind of thing to the entire Northwest Dao.

If it weren't for the righteousness of the emperor behind him, it is very likely that the crown prince would have used his means throughout the country.

After that, there is the matter of the Criminal Department, which is the prince's recent review of the old cases of the Criminal Department, in which many unjust, false and wrongful cases of the Criminal Department have been found.

This made Pei Yan a little embarrassed for a while.

There are also officials, many meritorious nobles, all of whom have empty salaries, so the prince strictly investigates the problem of empty salaries.

For a while, it was also a rumor.

The prince's affairs in the household department offended a large number of princely families, and at the same time encroached on the rights of the Empress Wu, but was recognized by the emperor.

The prince's handling of the Criminal Department was to take revenge on Pei Yan, and Ming Chongyan's escape that night was likely to involve someone from the Criminal Department.

The prince handled the affairs of the ministry, and a lot of redundant officials were checked, and the expenditure of the household department was suddenly reduced a lot.

Although many people complained that the prince did too much, and even wrote a letter to impeach the subordinate officials of the East Palace, no one dared to point the finger at the prince.

In addition to Li Xian, Li Xian is working on water conservancy, and Li Dan is concerned about the imperial examination.

All of a sudden, even the official duties of the Empress Wu were much less.

……

"Keep an eye on the East Palace, don't let them make any big mistakes." Empress Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a gentle smile: "When it's time to help, help a little more." ”

"Yes!" The corners of Yuan Wanqing's mouth twitched slightly, and then he arched his hand and said, "The minister's decree." ”

"By the way, where is Ming Shiyin?" Empress Wu stood on the edge of the garden and looked sideways at Yuan Wanqing.

"I don't know." Yuan Wanqing's expression became solemn, and he bowed down and said: "The latest news from the secret guard, after Shiyin Zhenren left Chang'an, he stayed in Luoyang for one night, and then went south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, but he did some tricks so that others could not find his trace. ”

"Did he go somewhere and do something in secret?" Empress Wu couldn't help frowning.

This matter of the prince was operated secretly by Ming Chongyan at first, but it didn't take long for him to be discovered by the Empress Wu and became a "test" for the prince by the Empress Wu.

Now, who knows if Ming Chongyan is doing something crooked.

"I don't know." Yuan Wanqing shook his head slightly, during this time, he was also arranged to enter the imperial examination affairs.

That is, the imperial examination ended, and even one of his nephews was admitted to the list, which made him very long-faced.

Fortunately, it is also a role model, if his nephew is admitted to the top prize, it will be a big trouble.

However, it is not easy for ordinary people to get admitted to the top rank.

Many times, people do not remember the champion, but remember the list and the flower.

For example, in the previous sessions, many people don't have to think about it now, and they can't remember who the champion is, but Song Zhiwen and Zhuge Minghui are brilliant Jinshi, which are even more memorable.

"Let's go check it out." Wu Hou's complexion calmed down, and he said lightly: "The matter between King Cao and King Yue must be investigated, if they really have any thoughts, it is a big matter." ”

"Yes!" Yuan Wanqing nodded.

"Nanchang Palace, King Ying's Mansion and Xiangwang Mansion, are there no movements?" After a slight pause, Empress Wu said, "What is this palace talking about the heir?" ”

"Back to the queen of heaven, not recently." Yuan Wanqing bowed.

"It's a pity." Empress Wu continued to walk into the garden, and at the same time threw down a sentence: "Tell Saburo Shiro that the court affairs are busy, but you can't neglect your own affairs." ”

"Yes!" Yuan Wanqing's expression suddenly became awe-inspiring.

Nowadays, although the prince is doing a lot of things and has gained a lot of support, he has also offended many people.

If nothing happens, it will be enough, and if something happens, these people will immediately fall into the well.

The better the prince does now, the more unlucky he will be in the future.

But even so, the crown prince has one last talisman, and that is the emperor's eldest grandson.

Now the only eldest grandson of the emperor in the entire Tang Dynasty is also the only grandson of the emperor.

If you want to completely overthrow the crown prince, then it is best to have a new emperor and grandson come into the world.

Empress Wu was already thinking about it.

Yuan Wanqing suddenly thought of Li Xuan.

At the beginning, the emperor's eldest grandson was born with the help of the king of Nanchang, if you want to let the king have a child, can you also ask the king of Nanchang......

……

"Ming Chongyan has no news yet?" Li Xian looked at Huangfu Gongyi with some surprise, he has been concentrating on government affairs recently, and he has not taken much care of the affairs of the southeast.

Huangfu nodded righteously and said: "King Cao's letter has begun to prepare for the new year's grain and grass to be sent to the north, but since the end of spring, there has been a lot of rain, and it may have to be delayed. ”

Li Xian nodded slightly, he knew that what King Cao said was to start sending grain and grass to the north, that is to say, the hands and feet that should be cleaned up have been cleaned up.

But until now, there is no trace of Ming Chongyan, where did that guy go?

Looking at the doubts on Li Xian's face, Huangfu Gongyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Ming Chongyan has been missing for too long, it has been more than two months before and after, it is difficult for people to suspect that something is not happening?

Once something happened to Ming Chongyan, the first target of suspicion was Li Xian, but looking at the expression on Li Xian's face now, Huangfu was finally relieved that it was not him.

"You don't have to worry about the affairs of Jiangnan, Ming Chongyan can go wherever he goes, we don't care." Li Xian's voice changed and said: "Keep an eye on the Yushitai for a while, if Ming Chongyan has been missing for too long, and the Yushitai has not made any movement, it is time for Gu to rectify the Yushitai." ”

"Yes!" Huangfu Gongyi bowed slightly, and then said: "The palace is already preparing for the eastern tour, Your Highness, we also have to start preparing." ”

"Let's go to Shangshu Province and ask about the constitution, and see which prime minister stays in Chang'an, and which prime minister is with Luoyang?" Li Xian nodded at Huangfu Justice,

"Whoa!" Huangfu Gongyi asked two more words, and there was nothing wrong with Li Xian's side.

The emperor righteously retired and left.

"Your Highness." Gao Qi walked out from behind the tent and said to Li Xian: "The person is placed in the inner palace and guarded by the internal guards, and no one from the outside world is allowed to contact anyone except the secret guard commander and the court doctor Zhao Gong." ”

"Zhao Gong." Li Xian squinted slightly, and said, "That's a careful person, with him, others don't want to do anything else...... And the queen mother didn't mean to let him see people, which was good. ”

"Yes!" Gao Qi bowed slightly, and Empress Wu's treatment of Helan Wan did make Donggong breathe a sigh of relief, but only a sigh of relief.

"Send someone to find out, what's going on with Ming Chongyan now, why is it as if he's missing?" Li Xian couldn't help frowning.

"Who knows, maybe somewhere to hold back the harm." Gao Qi couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Leave that alone." Li Xian waved his hand and said, "Gu wants to find out where he is now, and whether he is secretly staring at King Cao and King Yue......"
