The moonlight was cold, and Li Xian walked out of front of the palace gate.

The breeze blew, and the guards of the East Palace were extremely vigilant.

Li Xian walked forward expressionlessly without looking back.

Faintly, he could always feel a pair of eyes watching him.

Li Xian didn't know if he was sensitive or if someone was really staring at him, but for now, he could only continue to walk without any notice.

In the entire East Palace, although Huangfu was righteous, Liu Neyan, Gao Qi and others had checked it openly and secretly I don't know how many times, but this feeling did not diminish at all.

Now, Li Jingye is hiding in the study, and it stands to reason that Li Xian should use all means to find out all the hidden eyeliner of others.

But with today's Luoyang incidents, he really shouldn't have any superfluous actions.

Without Ming Chongyan, there is also Yuan Wanqing, although Wu Chengsi was sent out, there is still Pei Yan.

The most important thing is that there is also his mother.

Although the chess pieces at the front desk were pulled out by Li Xian one by one, in secret, no one knew how many shadows were buried again.

……

Li Xian did not go back to the dormitory to rest, but walked slowly in the East Palace under the cold moon.

Under the gaze of countless people in the light and in the dark, he walked calmly.

Thinking about the current situation, thinking about Li Jingye, and also thinking about his father.

To tell the truth, Li Xian did have a plan to tell his father about Li Jingye's hiding in the East Palace when he left the study, in exchange for his father's trust.

But today, the sight of the emperor falling straight down was too shocking to his heart.

Li Xian couldn't help but wonder how long his father could support him.

In case one day...... And then there are a lot of unexpected shocks, and something has happened...... What to do?

The prime minister of the DPRK and China will definitely support him to succeed to the throne, after all, he is the crown prince.

Mother...... The queen mother must not want him to succeed to the throne, after all, he is not her son.

But if you want to prevent him from succeeding to the throne all of a sudden, you must either remove him from the crown prince in advance, or leave a testament.

Queen Mother, does she have an edict in her hand?

Father, what did he think?

The father and the queen mother don't seem to have to think much to know the answer.

The person that my father really believed in had already given him an answer when he summoned Xue Rengui back to Beijing under such circumstances tonight.

But, why, in addition to this, the father doesn't seem to have done anything to abolish him.

Why?

Li Xian couldn't help but feel a little lucky in his heart.

Perhaps, things like Mrs. Han are all fake, he is still their son, but for the sake of power, the queen mother ruthlessly let others target him like this.

Perhaps, his father is also testing him to see if he can win the battle with his mother.

Perhaps, there is no edict at all.

……

Unconsciously, Li Xian stopped in front of a hall with a closed door.

The windows are mottled and dusty.

This is the West Courtyard of the East Palace.

In this hall, the spiritual seat of filial piety to Emperor Li Hong was once placed.

Li Xiangang wanted to ask someone to open the place, but suddenly, he stopped.

It's better not to make too much noise about what you are doing here tonight, so as not to make people think too much.

Raising his head and looking at the temple in the darkness in front of him, Li Xian said softly, "Brother Huang." ”

The figure of honoring Emperor Li Hong flashed in his mind, and remembering that after Li Hong's death, everything was in internal and external chaos, and Li Xian's face changed slightly.

"Brother Huang!" Li Xian's eyes became fierce and terrifying in an instant.

Where is there any mother-son relationship, where is there any father-son relationship, everything is just a cruel portrayal of your life and death under the power struggle.

Turning around, Li Xian walked towards the dormitory.

If he wants to succeed to the throne smoothly, destroying Ming Chongyan's black hand is just the first step, and the second step, what he has to do is to have more supporters.

First of all, the prime ministers of the DPRK and China.

Does Lee Hyun have any of his own cronies among the rulers in the court?

Yes.

is admonishing the doctor Xue Yuanchao, serving Liu Zhenli, and even if everything goes well at the beginning, Zhang Da'an may also join the three products of Zhongshu.

These are all people who will be biased in favor of Li Xian in the event of a sudden accident.

But it's just that the position is biased, almost all of them, the prime ministers, are actually neutral people, and there are still a few people with obvious attitudes like Pei Yan.

The attitude of the six Shangshu can also be glimpsed from this.

Secondly, there are the generals of the Sixteen Guards.

The sixteen guards who were on the emperor's side remained above 100,000 all year round.

Once something happens, the ones who can really be useful are none other than the Praetorian Guard, the Qianniu Guard, the Jinwu Guard, the Prison Guard, and the Leading Guard.

In particular, the first three are important.

These people really have very little contact with Li Xian, but it is the Empress Wu who has extremely strong strength among Jin Wuwei, Qianniuwei, and even the Praetorian Guard.

Once something happens, she can immediately seal the palace gate completely.

Li Xian now finally understands why Li Jingye is so unoptimistic about himself.

Because he doesn't really have the power of his own.

But at this point, Li Xian has been prepared for a long time.

Because the palace holds a huge vital point.

Xuanwu Gate.

As long as the Xuanwu Gate is taken, three hundred armor soldiers can control the entire palace.

The key is to take control of the situation next.

Prime ministers, guards, and even the court.

……

Edict.

An electric light flashed in Li Xian's mind.

He finally understood the real core of wanting to seize the throne.

Once something happens to his father and he wants to take a step forward with the position of the crown prince, then he must get the edict.

The queen mother has her edict in her hands, and she also has her own edict in her own hands.

The methods used by Ming Chongyan to forge letters had already given Li Xian enough hints.

But with the edict and the position of the crown prince, it was just a tie with the queen mother, and if he wanted to get more support from people at that time, he needed more means.

Inventory of land and property, and clarification of lawsuits.

Raising his head and looking at the bright candlelight of the dormitory, as well as the faint voices of the crown princess and the imperial grandson inside, Li Xian smiled.

He's not incapable either.

……

In the Nanchang Palace, Liu Jinyu settled her mother Ouyang to sleep, and then walked towards the backyard.

The entire mansion gradually quieted down from the chaos.

They had just come back from the palace, and the people in the mansion had just come from the Lecheng County Mansion.

The burning scorch marks on the gate of the Jade Dragon Garden outside clearly told them that everything that Liu Jinyu had arranged before was not unfounded.

At the same time as the assassination in the imperial palace, the city of Luoyang was also in chaos, and hundreds of Turks in the city rushed in all directions.

There are watchtowers, square gates, princely residences, and even royal palaces.

But it's a pity that the left and right Jin Wuwei, the left and right Qianniu Wei, the left and right prison guards, the left and right guards, the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the two counties of Luoyang, Henan, are all prepared.

Although the Turks also caused some chaos, they were moths to the fire after all.

Standing in front of the door, listening to Liu Shubi, Liu Qiongyu playing with Xia'er and Zhao'er, Liu Jinyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Nothing is wrong today.

Thinking of the absurd assassination in the palace today, Liu Jinyu couldn't help but be a little funny.

I was still nervous at the time of the incident, why didn't I think at that time that the assassination was the expected arrangement.

The Turks assassinated the emperor, but the emperor completely suppressed it in the blink of an eye.

Everything is like in a dream, it happens very quickly, and it ends just as quickly.

Now, almost everyone should understand that the Turks fell into the trap of the emperor.

The news that they wanted to assassinate the emperor had already been leaked out, and the palace would be fully prepared.

Thinking of this, it also made countless people inside and outside the country more in awe of the emperor and the Tang Dynasty.

But Liu Jinyu understood the truth of this, even she sensed that something was wrong, not to mention the Jin Wuwei and Qianniu Guard, who monitored the entire Chang'an Luoyang, as well as the secret guards, and even the next dispatch of troops to the Turks was in the emperor's plan.

At most, there are only three or two thousand people, which is completely within the burden of the imperial court, but it can make the grassland quieter, but it is just ......

Some hurried footsteps stopped at the door of the backyard, Liu Jinyu turned around, saw Li Bi with an anxious face, and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?" ”

"Princess, if someone from the Demon Sect escapes, Dali Temple will notify all royal palaces and mansions to guard the door, and once an outsider trespasses, send a letter immediately." Li Bi handed the letter in his hand forward, Liu Jinyu took it with a frown, glanced up and down, and asked puzzledly: "Why is there still someone fleeing under such a strict layout?" ”

"I heard that the terrain is narrow, and it is not suitable for the army to enter, so I temporarily used the senior monks of the White Horse Temple, but the strength of the people in the Demon Sect was unexpected, and the two senior monks of the White Horse Temple all passed away." After a slight pause, Li Bi said: "The people in the Demon Sect, after escaping from Luoyang, there were people outside to pick them up, so they were escaped. ”

"Now that the people have left Luoyang, what are they afraid of, haven't the demon sect people in the city been cleared yet?" Liu Jinyu was a little confused.

Li Bi lowered his body and arched his hand and said, "Princess, I heard that someone saw Li Jingye appear in the palace. ”

Liu Jinyu suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Bi in disbelief.

When the prince's congratulatory gift was stolen, they had suspected Li Jingye.

After all, Li Jingye was demoted at the beginning, and the prince also made a lot of efforts.

They once suspected Li Jingye, but they never thought that Li Jingye had returned to Luoyang.

"Then Li Jingye started with the prince's congratulatory gift, I am afraid that he planned to fish in troubled waters." Liu Jinyu couldn't help but shake his head and said, "The people of the Demon Sect ran away, Li Jingye didn't catch it, and the Turks were involved, so it's no wonder that the palace is nervous." ”

Li Jingye and the people in the Demon Sect already have various connections, and now he and the Turks are connected through the people of the Demon Sect.

Another storm is coming.

"Let's transfer another batch of people from Chengdu." Liu Jinyu took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid Chang'an will not be at peace in the future. ”

Liu Jinyu keenly smelled the smell of instability and prepared manpower in advance.

"Then the secret guards, do you want to report it?" Li Bi asked cautiously.

"Everything is in accordance with the regular procedures, the Demon Sect is making trouble, and each family is not allowed to add manpower." After a slight pause, Liu Jinyu followed and said: "There is also the house, keep an eye on it, and don't let other people's hands come in." ”

"Don't worry, the princess has made arrangements for this matter, and his subordinates will go back and check it carefully." Li Bi nodded solemnly.

"Also, send someone to keep an eye on the ground movement in Chang'an, and report any abnormalities immediately." Liu Jinyu followed up and said again.

"Yes!" Li Bi bowed again, and then asked in a low voice, "Is Tuyuhun not moving over there?" ”

"It doesn't hurt to move a little." Liu Jinyu waved his hand and said: "There is such a big thing in Luoyang, I'm afraid everyone will be nervous for a while, let's move, this is normal, if you really don't move anything, it will be troublesome." ”

"Yes!" Li Bi bowed, and then slowly retreated.

Liu Jinyu turned around, entered the room, and went to find her two younger sisters to take care of her daughter and son together.

……

Under the Han Underground Palace in Chang'an, the 10,000-year-old candle lights flickered.

A ray of light flew in from the outside, flew directly to the top of Li Miao's head, and then fell directly.

The next moment, he had already opened his eyes.

He had just returned from Luoyang, and he knew everything that happened in Luoyang very well.

Even he and Yun Hebi saved Xiao Tianzi,

Empress Wu, secret guards, demon sects, Li Jingye, Turkic, he knows many things clearly.

But there are also some things that he can't see clearly, what Li Jingye is doing when he comes back.

Could it be the crown prince?

Li Jingye rebelled, and the prince was a necessary banner on the table.

But only the flag.
