Chang'an, Shengye Fang.

The snow was falling, and Li Xuan rode a horse to come quickly from a distance.

As soon as he arrived at the house, he immediately turned over and dismounted.

Lai Sui followed closely, and the two of them rushed all the way into the mansion and went straight into the backyard bedroom.

Li Xuan paused, looked at Wang Fulai in front of him, looked surprised, stood firm and hurriedly arched his hand: "Wang Weng!" ”

"The prince is polite, the old slave doesn't dare to be called the prince like this." Wang Fulai, who is nearly sixty years old, smiled and gave his hand.

"Wang Weng." Li Xuan gave up his hand again and said seriously: "The kid has been taken care of by Wang Weng for many years, and Wang Weng is an elder to Xuan...... By the way, why did Wang Weng come here in person today? ”

"Your Majesty is not at ease, let the old slave bring Imperial Doctor Li to see the situation." Wang Fulai's expression became solemn.

Li Xuan glanced at Laisui, and Laisui immediately bowed slightly to Wang Fulai, and then carefully entered the bedroom from the side.

"Come to Xiaolang to invite the prince so quickly, but you are worried that something earlier will happen?" Wang Fulai seemed to have something else.

Li Xuan sighed lightly and arched his hand: "Wang Weng, what is the situation here, Wang Weng is also clear, Hao Xiang the year before last, Zhang Xiang last year, and Xiang Xiang this year, this method is used by others, as if it is endless, which makes people panic." ”

Wang Fulai nodded lightly, and then said, "But this time, it may really have nothing to do with others." ”

"Oh, please give me advice." Li Xuan bowed heavily.

Wang Fulai helped Li Xuan up and said in a low voice: "This time it's not an external cause, there is no ice water, and there are no potholes, it's just that he didn't stand firm when he came to get up, and then he fell." ”

"It's not poisoned or something, is it?" Li Xuan bowed slightly, and her voice was very low.

Laisui was also outside, and then he was called home, and he didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen at home.

didn't figure out the situation for a while, so he hurriedly looked for Li Xuan.

"Probably not." Wang Fulai shook his head and said: "For the prime ministers, Your Majesty has also sent many people to protect you, and the prime minister himself is also cautious, how can he be easily acquired." ”

"That's your mistake." Li Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said with a wry smile: "Wang Weng, this thing is really scary, I have to come like this every year." ”

Every year, there are prime ministers who fall, and they are all quite old prime ministers.

This kind of thing has been someone else's calculation from the beginning, and by now, everyone is already a frightened bird, and some cup bow snake shadows are normal.

"There won't be any more." Wang Fulai shook his head calmly and said, "The person who did that kind of thing before is dead, and no one will dare to do it again in the future." ”

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Fuli, his words seemed to have other meanings.

"Squeak", the door rang at this time, and Li Xuan and Wang Fulai turned around at the same time.

The imperial physician Li Qianzong thought about it and walked out of the door, followed by the Zhongshu people to Qingyuan, and came to take care of them in the room.

"Doctor Li, what's the situation?" Wang Fulai was the first to speak.

"Steward." Li Qianzong raised his head, looked at Wang Fulai, frowned and said: "Laixiang's illness is not an external cause at all, it is an internal response, many years of physical fatigue, weak body, a careless, this is a fall, so, just need to rest at home for a while longer, there should be nothing to do." ”

Li Xuan's eyes flickered, and Lai Qingyuan didn't say much, they all knew that things were not so simple.

Lai Heng is seventy-two, although there is no sign of frail on weekdays, but old age is already a well-known thing.

"Xiaguan will leave a prescription and take care of it." Li Qianzong looked up at Lai Qingyuan.

Lai Qingyuan stretched out his hand: "Imperial Doctor Li, please." ”

Wang Fulai's eyes flickered, and he waved the dust slightly at Li Xuan, and then said: "The old slave is also going back to the palace immediately, if the prince is fine, he should go home early." ”

"Yes!" Li Xuan bowed seriously.

Wang Fulai bowed slightly, then turned around and walked towards the door.

Li Xuan stepped forward to follow and personally sent Wang Fulai away.

The family is not prosperous.

Since Lai'er was killed in Yangzhou that year, the children of the Lai family have been implicated a lot, and only the two brothers of Lai Heng Laiji are left in the Lai family.

But Laiji was involved in the turmoil of abolishing Wang Liwu, and finally died in a foreign country.

Now he is also the prime minister who carries the family, but his son died early, and only his grandson came to serve as a member of the military department.

Lai Ji has a son, and now he is dedicated to the history of Hangzhou, and he is a scholar in Qingyuan.

There are people in the upper, middle and lower levels, but they are a little thinner.

Now that Laiheng has fallen, for Laijia, almost half of the family has fallen.

……

Packing up her thoughts, Li Xuan turned around and entered the bedroom.

Lai Heng was lying on the bed, looking a little dazed, and Lai Sui held his grandfather's hand tightly, looking worried.

Li Xuan gently walked behind Laisui and patted him on the shoulder slightly.

Seeing Li Xuan, Lai Sui finally reacted: "Da Lang, help me take a look, what is the situation?" ”

Lai Heng also came back to his senses at this time, and nodded gently at Li Xuan: "It's troublesome to the prince." ”

"Come and rest assured, it's okay." Downstairs said, sat down on the side, and then reached out to catch Lai Heng's vein.

After a moment, Li Xuan withdrew his hand and closed his eyes in contemplation.

Lai Sui stood aside, looking at Li Xuan, nervous.

Laiheng is relatively calm.

After a while, Li Xuan finally opened his eyes, then looked at Lai Heng solemnly, and said: "Come to Xiang, please resign, wait until next year, when the spring flowers bloom, go to Yangzhou and Hangzhou and take it away, the weather is mild, which is good for the body." ”

Hearing Li Xuan say this, Lai Sui immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It is not so important if the prime minister is not the prime minister, the important thing is the health of the grandfather.

To be able to go to Yangzhou and Hangzhou, at least his body is still somewhat secure.

"Please resign." Lai Heng nodded slightly and said, "It's time to resign now......

Li Xuan's eyes were raised, and his expression was awe-inspiring.

He understood that even if he didn't say it, Lai Heng had this plan now.

Hearing it, Heng sighed lightly and said, "It's just that if there is no old man, I'm afraid the pattern of the court will be broken." ”

Li Xuan nodded silently, this year, Li Boyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is going to resign, and it is difficult to support Lai Heng like this, and there are two vacancies in the court at once, which will be a little troublesome.

"Actually, that's not a bad thing." Li Xuan raised his head slightly, looked at Lai Heng and said: "The reason why the turmoil is slightly rising in the affairs of the court is because the court is like a pool of stagnant water, and now there are vacancies and living water is flowing, which is a good thing for the court." ”

Lai Heng groaned slightly, and said with emotion: "If you can do this when you come to the house, I'm afraid it will be a blessing." ”

"Come to the prime minister to take the initiative to resign, Your Majesty, the government and the opposition will have two or three points of gratitude, and the next uncle has been the assassin in Hangzhou for many years, and he was the assassin of Runzhou before, and after two or three years, it should be transferred back to Beijing, and then the temples, the prisons, and the books are all possible." Li Xuan's eyes looked at Laisui and comforted him gently.

These things, Lai Heng must have figured it out, I'm afraid that Lai Sui can't figure it out.

Lai Sui nodded slowly, and his mind began to move.

"If the old man is not in Beijing, Sui'er is not suitable to stay in Beijing." Lai Heng looked up at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan shook his head directly and said: "The northwest states are not suitable, there are too many dangers, and the meritorious service is insufficient, if you have the opportunity, it is best to go to Youzhou." ”

Lai Heng nodded slightly, and said softly: "The Duke of Pingyang County is now attacking Mobei, and success is inevitable, but the question is how long can the Monan clans be stable after that?" ”

"It won't be long." Li Xuan sighed lightly and said: "It's okay in the northwest, although there is a war in Tibet, but General Quan is now in the Shasu area, and the stable situation is not stable, and the biggest danger is actually Yin, Sui, Xia and other northern Shaanxi prefectures, which are closest to Chang'an." ”

"But there are tens of thousands of troops in Chang'an, even if the prince leaves, and there is also Wenxi County, there will be no problems." Lai Heng thought about it and said, "So in the end, it may be Youzhou...... Using the army to make chaos in northern Shaanxi as a bait and sneak attack on Youzhou, the prince is really sharp-eyed. ”

Lai Heng looked at Li Xuan in surprise and said, "No wonder Zuo Xiang said several times that the prince is the most suitable to be a squire in the military department, and sure enough." ”

"There are opportunities, but the risks are enormous." Li Xuan turned his head to look at Xiang Sui, and said helplessly: "If it weren't for the big wind and waves in Chang'an, I'm afraid Xuan wouldn't have suggested that Brother Lai go to Youzhou for an adventure." ”

"It's okay, come to the family, you have always fought for the country, and you don't hesitate to do anything." Lai Heng waved his hand directly, and then said: "Besides, I still have some prestige in Youzhou. ”

Li Xuan nodded lightly, back then, he came to protect Yang Guangdong's expedition to Goguryeo, and to protect Li Shimin's Eastern Expedition, and Lai Heng has also worked hard in the Eastern Expedition today, and there are many old friends and juniors in Youzhou, and it is not a problem to gain a foothold.

"The grandson is willing to take the order." Then he bowed heavily.

Lai Heng wants to go to Yangzhou and Hangzhou, and there is a dedication there, so naturally he doesn't need to worry about anything.

He was only worried about what happened, but he also knew that the elders in the family were more worried about his future.

"So it's settled." Li Xuan raised his eyes and glanced outside, then took out a cyan porcelain bottle from his arms, put it directly on Lai Heng's pillow, and said in a low voice: "Other body maintenance medicines, Imperial Doctor Li has enough to use, Xuan This medicine is the last life-saving use, and it should not be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary." ”

"Thank you so much, Lord Wang!" Lai Heng directly picked up the medicine bottle and said with a smile: "I heard that Hao Xiang and Zhang Xiang both have a bottle there, and now it's the turn of the old man." ”

"You're welcome." Li Xuan stood up and arched his hand: "It's not early now, so Xuan will leave first." ”

"I'll send it to the prince." He stood up.

……

Walking in the snow in the outer courtyard, Lai Sui said softly: "If you really go to Youzhou this time, the matter of the military department, I am afraid that my brother will not be able to help the prince keep an eye on it." ”

"It's okay." Li Xuan shook his head and said: "In the past, it was because Wenxi County Gong was not there, although the Pingyuan County Duke was in charge, but after all, his name was not right, and it was easy to be manipulated. ”

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot, Pei Shangshu returned to Beijing." Laisui patted his forehead and finally felt relieved.

After calming down a little, Li Xuan opened his mouth and said: "If you come to go north to Youzhou this time, it is best to avoid Dingzhou, where the risk is the greatest, it is best to go to Zhuozhou, or Zhenzhou." ”

"Where the risk is greatest, the benefit is greatest." Lai Sui smiled and said, "Let's go to Dingzhou, maybe we can really achieve something." ”

"In Zhuozhou and Zhenzhou, it is also possible to be ready to send reinforcements at any time." Li Xuan looked at Laisui, Laisui still shook his head, and Li Xuan sighed and said: "Then before leaving, ask the military department to play and ask for more troops in Dingzhou...... No matter how many soldiers there are, at least the posture must be made, and now you can be safe and worry-free. ”

"Good!"

……

Under the wind and snow, Li Xuan slowly walked towards the door.

At this time, a team of Qianniu guards walked towards the mansion in front of them in the wind and snow, and finally knocked on the door and entered directly.

Li Xuan had also entered that mansion before, so he naturally knew who the owner of the mansion was.

In the provincial service under the front door, the prince's left concubine, Zhang Wenjun.

Lai Sui fell ill, and before he went to the picture, the emperor had already arranged a new person.

But Zhang Wenjun's health is not much better.

So it's only temporary.

This prime minister, this, there is still a fight.
