Outside the Zichen Palace, the ministers slowly came out, and Li Xuan arched his hand to Li Jingjia, the king of Beiping County: "Brother Wang, it's troublesome." ”

"Don't worry, everything will be in order for you." Li Jingjia smiled gently, and then said: "This time, it will be up to you to be a brother." ”

"Thank you, Brother Wang." Li Xuan bowed his hand deeply again, Li Jingjia smiled and waved his hand, and then turned around and walked away.

Watching Li Jingjia disappear, Li Xuan glanced back at Zichen Palace, arched his hand with a solemn expression, and then turned around and walked towards the outside of the palace.

As soon as he came out of Yifeng Gate, Li Xuan saw Zhao Gong waiting on the side, and Pei Yan was standing beside him, as if he was talking about something.

Seeing Li Xuan leave the palace, Pei Yan nodded slightly at Li Xuan, and then turned to leave.

Li Xuan walked up, bowed his hand to Zhao Gong in some surprise, and asked at the same time, "Uncle, what are you talking about?" ”

"It's Wu Chenghe's thing before." Zhao Gong's words made Li Xuan's expression solemn, Zhao Gong sighed lightly, and said: "The people of the secret guard have inspected the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department from Guozi, and they have also given the person in charge of this matter in Pei Mansion, and the Queen of Heaven called him into the palace to reprimand him before. ”

Li Xuan was a little dazed, Zhao Gong said this: Pei Yan really sent someone to Guozijian to spread the rumor of Wu Chenghe.

No, it's not that simple.

Pei Yan saw that with the strength of the current Empress Wu, it was not feasible to push the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the Huangmen Shilang at the same time under the emperor and the ministers, so he could only choose one.

And Pei Yan chose himself.

Wait, isn't Pei Yan going to tear his face with Wu Chenghe?

Wait, Pei Yan and Wu Chengsi tore their faces, so in this way, although he would not tear his face with Empress Wu, he faintly distanced himself from Empress Wu.

Above the court, the real positions are nothing more than two:

Emperor and Empress Wu.

Since Pei Yan distanced himself from Empress Wu, his purpose was naturally to lean back towards the emperor.

No, not the emperor, it's Li Xian.

Li Xuan immediately understood that Pei Yan had begun to change his position, he was no longer staring at Li Dan, but turned to Li Xian.

Indeed, Li Dan is the most anticipated son of Empress Wu, but Li Dan has Wu Chenghei by his side, Beimen Bachelor, and the Dou family, Dou Xuande is still the secretary of the ministry.

There is no room for Pei Yan to play at all, even if Li Dan ascends the throne in the future, Pei Yan will not have too many benefits, and he will have to compete with the North Gate Bachelor.

But Li Xian is different, although the Wei family is a big family, it is not as good as the Dou family, and even the Pei family.

Although Li Xian's side also has the support of the Cui family, it is actually only slightly inclined and not close.

Li Xian's really strong support comes from Li Xuan, but Li Xuan is a border state assassin, holding military power, but far away from the center.

In other words, Li Xian lacked a real and powerful supporter in the court, and this person ...... It can be him Pei Yan.

The most important thing is that Li Xian is the next heir to the throne, and Li Dan wants to take over the throne and surpass Li Xian.

As long as Pei Yan strongly supports Li Xian, then Li Dan is very likely to be unable to succeed to the throne, and the Beimen Bachelor, the Dou family, and Wu Chenghei may all be killed by Pei Yan.

……

Li Xuan glanced back at the Zichen Palace, and he knew in his heart that the real reason was actually in the palace.

Behind Li Dan is undoubtedly the Empress Wu, the Empress Wu's power is extremely heavy, Li Dan succeeded to the throne, and the Empress Wu is definitely not so easy to let go of power.

If Pei Yan is under the Empress Wu, then it is very likely that he will be manipulated by the Empress Wu forever.

But if he breaks away from Empress Wu's hands, then he may be able to go one step further.

Li Xianneng was the crown prince and inherited the throne, and the person who really supported him was the emperor.

Once the emperor dies of illness, then Pei Yan is likely to become the most powerful person under the throne, and may even be above the imperial power.

Of course, this is only possible.

But no matter what, Pei Yan saw the way to climb to the pinnacle of power.

That's enough.

Ambition is insane.

……

"Da Lang, the Turkic uncle will help you keep an eye on it." Zhao Gong looked at Li Xuan and said seriously: "But you also have to be careful." ”

"My nephew knows." Li Xuan bowed his hand seriously, and then said: "But you don't need to keep an eye too closely, the secret guards want to mix sand into it, and the Turks have not thought of it, maybe they are waiting to take advantage of this matter to keep an eye on it." ”

Zhao Gong's eyelids jumped, and then he nodded and said, "Uncle understands." ”

"And Uncle asked the people who are watching to pay attention to who is the person who often accompanies Ashina Wen Fu." Li Xuan's expression became solemn.

Zhao Gong frowned, and asked softly: "What, do you think Ashina Wen Fu is not the person who dominates everything behind him?" ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded and said: "Ashina Wen Fu is undoubtedly a key person, but his ability has not yet reached this point, otherwise, the secret guard system will not be able to monitor his objections for so many years, so there should be a new person who has appeared, this person has a certain relationship with Ashina Wen Fu and found him." ”

"Good!" Zhao Gong nodded seriously, if he could really find the real behind-the-scenes heroes of the Turks this time, this credit would be enough for Zhao Gong to go further.

"Then the nephew took his leave first." Li Xuan gave up.

"Hmm!" Zhao Gong bowed his head slightly.

……

In King Peng's Mansion, Li Xuan took off her coat, looked at the maid in the room, and whispered, "You all go out." ”

"Yes!" The maid in the room was blessed at the same time, and then withdrew from the bedroom.

"What's wrong?" Liu Jinyu hung up Li Xuan's coat, then walked to Li Xuan's side, sat on the bed, and asked in a low voice.

Li Xuan told Liu Jinyu in detail what happened today, and then said in a low voice: "Don't worry about the affairs of the Turks, fight for your husband on the battlefield, and have your own calculations, not to mention that you can recuperate in ten days, in the palace, who comes and who dies, it is Pei Yan who really cares about her husband." ”

"Is Pei Shangshu really going to throw himself into the King of England?" Liu Jinyu couldn't believe it, a while ago they were still calculating the infighting between Pei Yan and Wu Chenghe, and then angering the emperor.

Now, before their means have been completely exhausted, Pei Yan has completely given up on King Xiang and thrown himself to King Ying.

Li Xuan stretched out his hand, hugged Liu Jinyu in his arms, and said softly: "The root cause of the prince's crisis this time is that Ming Chongyan rumored that the prince was not the queen's concubine, and the queen of heaven never denied it, nor did she admit it, so it made people delusional, but this trick can only be used once, and he is not good at the king, so the king must be the son of the queen." ”

"Since they are all the sons of the queen of heaven, Pei Shangshu can throw himself on the side of King Xiang, and naturally he can also vote on the side of King Ying." Liu Jinyu immediately understood.

Pei Yan: This is a retreat after blocking the sky.

"Then does the husband want to tell the king about this?" Liu Jinyu looked up at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "This matter must be known to the King of England, you know, there is also a Wei family by the side of the King of England, if Pei Shangshu stands up to fight against the Wei family when the husband is away, then the husband will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

Li Xuan is outside, and on the inside, Pei Yan and the Wei family are fighting, and at the same time, there are martial artists eyeing each other, so in this case, no one dares to offend Li Xuan easily.

"Then what if Pei Shangshu and the Wei family come together?" Liu Jinyu asked in a low voice.

Li Xuan smiled lightly, shook his head and said: "Pei Yan's ambition is very heavy, the ambition of the Wei family is not small, the husband is far away in the border state, and the most threatening to Pei Yan is the Wei family, in this case, he will naturally stabilize his husband first, and then make a move against the enemy in the court, as for the outside, the Turks are afraid that it is not so easy to solve." ”

Liu Jinyu nodded lightly, there are millions of people in the Eastern and Western Turks combined, and half of them can be pulled out to fight in the critical season.

"I'm afraid this battle can't be solved in three or five years." After a slight pause, Li Xuan smiled lightly and said, "It's okay like this, it's safer to be a husband like this." ”

"Hmm!"

"Let's rest!"

……

Towards the end of the year, the number of people in Chang'an City began to increase, and the previous snow had completely disappeared.

In the backyard of King Peng's mansion, Li Xuan sat on a recliner.

Xia Niang was pushed by the koji beans and sat on the swing and swinged.

Pei Shitong leaned on Li Xuan's body, soft as boneless, and even couldn't open her eyes.

Li Xuan had already closed her eyes and was drowsy.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps stopped at the door of the backyard.

Li Xuan came to his senses in an instant and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Lord Wang, the King of England is here." Li Zhu stood at the door and handed over his hand.

"Take His Royal Highness to the study." Li Xuan patted Pei Shitong on the shoulder and said softly: "Okay, you play with Xia'er, and go to see the king of England for your husband first." ”

"Hmm!" Pei Shitong opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Li Xuan, and then closed his eyes lightly again.

Li Xuan's thick black cloak was covered on Liu Jinyu's body, glanced at Koji Dou'er, and said, "Dou'er, come when you go for your husband." ”

"Oh!" Koji Dou'er glanced at Li Xuan, and then played with Xia Niang again, she really liked Xia Niang.

Li Xuan walked calmly between the pavilions and corridors, and her expression became steady.

In a blink of an eye, Li Xuan had already come to the door of the study.

Pushing the door in, Li Xian, who was sitting at the top, was drinking tea.

"Why are you free today?" Li Xuan closed the door in an instant.

"I heard that you are going to fight someone to the death, hurry up and take a look." Li Xian looked up at Li Xuan and asked seriously, "What, are you sure?" ”

"Yes." Li Xuan sat down on the other side, straightened his clothes, and then smiled lightly, and said: "The Turks have been trying to observe outside the gate of the mansion these days, but all of them have been driven away by the fangding, and their understanding of me comes mostly from the rumors on the street, I don't know the enemy, the enemy doesn't know me, in this way, in Chang'an City, I have the advantage." ”

Seeing that Li Xuan was so confident, Li Xian nodded and said, "That's fine." ”

"By the way, how did you know that?" Li Xuan asked.

"How do I know?" Li Xian glanced at Li Xuan angrily and said, "This matter has spread in Chang'an City. ”

Li Xuan's movements stopped, and then he nodded solemnly and said, "This is the secret guard's move." ”

"What do you mean?"

"The Turks never said that they would fight against me in the Zhengdan Dynasty, but they were guessed by the imperial court, and as soon as this news was released, then on the day of Zhengdan, they had no point of retreating at all, because many people knew about this matter within them, and now the imperial court released the news, which was deliberately taking advantage." Li Xuan said with a deep groan.

"Momentum?"

"Momentum." Li Xuan said casually: "The Turks don't know that the court knows about this, if the internal investigation is not a leak, then everything about them has been guessed by the court, in that case, they will think about how many things have been known by the court...... Mystery, inherently, is an advantage. ”

"I see." Li Xian somewhat understood.

Li Xuan waved his hand and asked, "By the way, how is the prince recently?" ”
