It snowed heavily for two days, and it took a lot of effort for Jinwuwei and Wannian County of Chang'an to clear the ground.

Li Xuan calmly rode down the street, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.

At this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, and Li Xuan turned around and saw Zhao Gong chasing after him from behind.

"Uncle!" Li Xuan hurriedly grabbed the horse.

"Da Lang!" Zhao Gong stopped his horse, raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Xuan and asked, "What, are you also the prince of Chunmingmen?" ”

"Pick up the prince?" Li Xuan was stunned and asked, "Is the prince returning to Beijing today?" ”

"Why, you don't know?" Zhao Gong was a little surprised.

Li Xuan immediately smiled bitterly and said: "The team of the Changzhou Jinju Academy is stuck on the road because of the heavy snow, and my nephew is still trying to find a way to solve this matter, otherwise the congratulatory gifts offered by the Great Dynasty at the end of the year will be delayed." ”

"I see." Zhao Gong nodded lightly, and then said meaningfully: "Then the other matter has nothing to do with you." ”

"What's that, what's that?" Li Xuan subconsciously asked.

"It's Zhou Guogong's business, Guozijian is about to take annual leave, but now it suddenly rumored that Zhou Guogong wants to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to be the Huangmen squire, and to be the prime minister." Zhao Gong stared at Li Xuan.

"Ahh Li Xuan's thoughts suddenly turned, his expression couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes blinked, and now it seemed that three days had passed.

Li Xuan hurriedly looked up at Zhao Gong, waved his hand, and said, "This matter...... Is Your Majesty sure that you want to allow the king of Longxi this time, and the prime minister, the Huangmen squire, why can't he be the Duke of Zhou, right? ”

Li Xuan's brows furrowed tightly, his face full of disbelief.

Wu Chenghe's personal ability is average, and managing a secretary and supervisor can make others transfer the edict of Emperor Gaozu.

Ren Fenzhou's assassination history, last year's political achievements were just ordinary.

Let him be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but because the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is idle, he still has the luxury of expecting the prime minister, which is really crazy.

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhao Gong, and asked puzzledly: "Uncle, Da Lang has been in contact with Zhou Guogong a lot, he shouldn't have such great ambitions, right?" ”

"You know, Huangmen Shilang, the third grade under the Tongzhong Book Sect is the official position of the third grade, and the Fenzhou Thorn History is also from the third grade." Zhao Gong's expression was faint.

Li Xuan's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Zhao Gong in disbelief: "No, Zhou Guogong is so ignorant of the rules?" ”

Indeed, Wu Chengsi can indeed be directly appointed as a waiter of the Yellow Gate from the Fenzhou Assassin History, and even the three products under the Tongzhongshu Sect are also possible.

But this is not in accordance with the rules, and it is difficult to convince the public.

In addition to being a relative, Wu Chengsi has nothing other military achievements and personal prestige, and even there are not many cronies around him.

After all, at this time, Beimen Bachelor and Pei Yan are more around Empress Wu and Li Dan to do things, rather than around him Wu Chenghe.

If Wu Chenghei really forcibly became a squire of the Yellow Gate and became the prime minister, it would damage the prestige of the emperor and the Empress Wu.

This kind of thing, the emperor will not do it, and the queen of martial arts will not do it.

Not to mention, for the position of the prime minister, the emperor and the empress have other calculations, where will Wu Chenghei be allowed to mess around.

But Li Xuan didn't expect that Wu Chengsi would be really tempted.

Thinking that in the original history, Wu Chengsi committed suicide because he couldn't get the crown prince, Li Xuan somewhat understood his psychology.

Li Xuan's expression calmed down, nodded at Zhao Gong, and said, "Uncle, this kind of thing has always been decided by His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, and my nephew doesn't want to think about it." By the way, why did the prince come back today? ”

The doubts in Zhao Gong's eyes disappeared, and finally walked side by side with Li Xuan, and said at the same time: "The prime minister has been redecided, and the prince naturally can't stay in Luoyang for a long time, not to mention, there are a lot of opportunities in the East Palace." ”

Li Xuan sighed lightly: "He shouldn't come back in such a hurry, if the nephew guesses correctly, the prince's affairs in Luoyang have not really ended." ”

Zhao Gong nodded lightly, Li Xian never came back in Luoyang, just because the emperor asked him to check the acres of land in Luoyang, and there was no exhaustive excuse.

But now, in the position of a prime minister, he has already run back, why be in such a hurry.

"By the way, Dalang, are you going to meet you at the city gate?" Zhao Gong asked.

Li Xuan shook his head directly and said: "My nephew still has to go to the concert institute, and he needs to communicate with the states and counties in the Tianshui area, so that they can speed up the evacuation of the passage, after all, at this time, there are still many northwest marching teams that have not yet entered Beijing." ”

"There's no need to rush too much, just deliver it before the New Year's Day." Zhao Gong waved his hand and looked in the direction of Chunming Gate.

Li Xuan didn't have to greet the prince at the city gate, but Zhao Gong had to go and see it.

Let's see who will pick up the prince at this time?

……

"Uncle, my nephew left first." Li Xuan gave up his hand seriously, Zhao Gong nodded slightly, and Li Xuan turned to Pingkangfang.

Looking at the back of Li Xuan leaving, Zhao Gong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: at least that matter had nothing to do with him.

Zhao Gong immediately couldn't help but feel a little funny.

The emperor just threw out a chess piece under the Tongzhongshu Gate, and so many people jumped out, but the first to jump into the trap were Pei Yan and Wu Chenghe.

Zhao Gong was also a little dissatisfied in his heart, and Wu Chengsi also danced too happily this time.

Isn't it just some rumors, and immediately began to shout loudly.

This made people see that his heart was empty.

and Pei Yan.

In the end, this matter was found on Pei Yan, although he fled to Luoyang, but then fled to Hedong, it was really ......

Although things were like this, Zhao Gong still felt that something was wrong, and just happened to meet Li Xuan, so he asked.

Fortunately, Li Xuan didn't know.

Turning the horses, Zhao Gong headed in the direction of Chunming Gate.

The corners of Li Xuan's eyes swept over, and people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't tell Zhao Gong about this matter, not because he didn't trust him, but because he was worried that he would show his flaws in front of Empress Wu.

Empress Wu is too shrewd, as long as Zhao Gong reveals the slightest bit of wrongness, he will be immediately noticed by Empress Wu.

So it's better to be careful.

Retracting his thoughts, Li Xuan thought of Li Xian and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

This is already an unknown number of hooks that the emperor has put on Li Xian, but Li Xian's movements are always disappointing......

The sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded frantically behind him, and Li Xuan subconsciously turned around.

A Jin Wuwei rushed towards Li Xuan, and the people around him panicked to give way.

Li Xuan immediately grabbed the horse and looked at Jin Wuwei with a solemn expression.

"Lord Wang, the Turkic chieftains of the twenty-four states of the capital of the capital of the prefecture, such as the relics prefecture, the Ashina prefecture, the Baideng prefecture, and the Sunong Prefecture have entered Beijing at the same time, and the Honglu Temple Qing Liu Gong has already gone to receive him in person." Jin Wuwei quickly finished talking about the matter, and then arched his hand and said: "Qin Lang will let the last general summon the message, and the prince will go and see it when he has time." ”

"Good!" Li Xuan nodded, and Jin Wuwei immediately turned around and rode away.

Li Xuan raised his head and saw that Zhao Gong, who had also not gone far, had already walked back on horseback.

……

On the street on the south side of Guangdefang, Li Xuan calmly watched a large number of Turkic nobles enter Huaiyuanfang, followed by hundreds of horses, and heavy black boxes were hung on both sides of the horses.

"Uncle, this time the Turkic chieftains of the twenty-four states entered Beijing, they shouldn't have notified the center, right?" Li Xuan turned to look at Zhao Gong.

Zhao Gong shook his head solemnly, his eyes fell on the box on the horse's body, and asked softly, "Da Lang, what do you think is in those boxes?" ”

"I haven't seen it, but I think it should be gold and silver treasures." Li Xuan looked at the Turkic people who were celebrating happily in Huaiyuanfang, and said softly: "Use these gold and silver in exchange for the return of the Turkic people in Chang'an, when did these Turkic chieftains have the courage." ”

Zhao Gong nodded lightly.

The Turks are scattered in the 24 prefectures of Monan, and the people are not in harmony, but now not only the Turkic chiefs of the 24 prefectures have arrived in Beijing together, but also the means of buying these Turkic people in Chang'an Province have been made together, which is also too Turkic.

But the more this happens, the more they have a big plan.

Not only that, it is naturally impossible for them not to report in advance when they come to Chang'an this time, but there is no relevant rumor from the DPRK and China, which shows that they have at least used some means.

"This snow not only blocked the footsteps of people and horses, but also blocked the footsteps of the post guards, but some people with a heart went straight in." Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and said, "If a war starts in this situation, I'm afraid there will be big trouble between the DPRK and China." ”

"Twenty-four states, Dalang, who do you think will be in it?" Zhao Gong groaned slightly and asked the core question.

"Uncle, Ashina Prefecture, the reason why it is called Ashina Prefecture is because there are many Ashina people there, although they are not the descendants of the Turks and Jieli, but they are also the descendants of other Turkic khans, if they contact things, they can do it."

After a slight pause, Li Xuan said seriously: "If it were the Turkic chieftains of other states, and they were going to do these things, I am afraid that the Ashina clan would not agree." ”

"So it must be the chief of Ashina, Asid Winfu." Zhao Gong's mind conjured up the figure of an elegant-looking Turkic nobleman wearing a dog-yellow felt hat.

"Keep an eye on him, whether it's him or not, this person must be taken seriously." Li Xuan turned to look at Huaiyuanfang and said softly: "This time they just arrived in Beijing and made such a big move, so the subsequent actions are definitely not small, but I don't know what they are planning." ”

"Hmm!" After Zhao Gong took a deep breath, he pulled the horse rope and turned around, and said at the same time: "Da Lang, I'm afraid you have to think about it, the Turks in Chang'an must not let them leave like this, so many Turks who know the inside story of Chang'an leave, I'm afraid there will be a big mess." ”

"My nephew knows." Li Xuan nodded lightly, his eyes solemn.

The Turks lived in Chang'an City, and they had a very familiar understanding of the city defense and the layout of the sixteen guards over the years.

Once the Turkic army besieged Chang'an, then they would definitely not withdraw their troops as easily as Jieli did back then.

……

Watching Zhao Gong turn around and leave, Li Xuan looked at Huaiyuanfang again.

Countless Turks are celebrating, this time the Turks brought so much wealth, just thinking of using the wealth to "redeem" all the Turks in Chang'an.

In recent years, the Turkic nobles have also made a lot of money in their trade with the Tang Dynasty.

Now with the money earned from Datang, in exchange for the main force of Turkic warriors who will rebel against Datang in the future, this transaction is definitely not a loss.

However, there are as many as 100,000 Turks in Luoyang, Chang'an, and if they are really asked to take out all this money, I am afraid it will be enough.

They definitely won't be able to take it out, so they still have to make a moth.

Li Xuan's eyes flashed slightly, yes.

There are too many Turks here.
