In the Zichen Palace.

Watching Li Xuan leave, Empress Wu raised her head in some surprise and looked at Li Zhi: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask the King of Nanchang how to take Qamdo?" ”

Qamdo has now been transformed into a murderous city full of traps, and anyone who wants to take Qamdo will have to pay huge casualties.

Empress Wu could understand that Li Xuan put the attack on Qamdo last, but she couldn't understand why the emperor didn't ask?

Li Zhi sighed lightly and said: "Don't ask, it's because he can't fight, over the years, many people have forgotten that the best way for Twenty-seven Lang is to use the power of celestial phenomena...... On Qinling's transformation of Qamdo into a copper wall and iron wall, all the fires were burned. ”

"Fire attack?" Empress Wu didn't expect that the answer would be so simple.

Li Zhi nodded lightly: "The same is true of the military strategy proposed by the Ministry of War. ”

"But in this way, the loss of Qamdo will be great." The Empress Wu has always been ruthless, but a city, a capital, and more than 100,000 people still have it, so it was burned.

"Qamdo is not the land of the Tang Dynasty, and the people of Qamdo are not the people of the Tang Dynasty, and if it is burned, it will be burned." Li Zhi's face was indifferent and terrifying, as if more than 100,000 people were not taken into his eyes at all.

Empress Wu was silent, and then she asked, "Then what about governance after that?" ”

"Move people from the party, then move people from Tuyuhun, and then move the displaced people from Longxi, and then move the displaced people from the Luoyang area of Chang'an."

Li Zhi pushed back and forth layer by layer, so that the situation in Luoyang, Chang'an this year will be much better.

At the mention of the homeless people, Empress Wu immediately cheered up, nodded in agreement: "This is a good thing. ”

"There is also the clearing of the hidden fields in Henan Province." Li Zhi's face became solemn, and he said softly: "There is also the matter of the Turks, if the Turks really make moves this year, northern Shaanxi and Hebei will inevitably suffer, and we must be prepared to receive displaced people in Youzhou and Luozhou." ”

"Yes!" Empress Wu nodded slightly, but her eyes flickered, as if she had other intentions.

Don't care, of course, it's Queen Subi.

Thinking of this, Empress Wu couldn't help but sigh lightly, this move is useless.

……

Walking in the palace, all kinds of officials passing by around bowed to Li Xuan, and Li Xuan returned the salute gently.

Finally, I came to the front of the East Palace.

"Lord Wang, please." The prince's family ordered Murong to stand in front of the door and respectfully welcomed Li Xuan into the East Palace: "Your Highness already knew that the prince was coming, so let the lower officials wait here." ”

"It's hard work." Li Xuan bowed slightly, and said at the same time: "The emperor's eldest grandson has been fine these days, and he hasn't come to visit him since the Zhengdan Dynasty." ”

"Yes, the prince hasn't been to the East Palace for a while." Murong Guest's words seemed to have something else.

Li Xuan nodded calmly and said, "Xuan is in the border state all the year round, and there are not many times I can go back to Chang'an, and I will leave again in an unknown day." ”

"The prince is hard." Murong nodded gloomily and stopped speaking.

In the main hall, the ministers of the East Palace are busy discussing government affairs.

Li Xuan walked in from the palace gate, and the ministers in the palace hurriedly saluted Li Xuan.

Li Xuan returned the salute gently, but did not come closer, walked past the side of everyone, and then walked into the inner hall.

In the inner hall, Li Xian, Huangfu Gongyi, and Liu Neyan are also discussing political affairs.

"Uncle Wang is here." Li Xian stood up, walked out from behind the table with a smile, and walked as he walked, the wind whirred.

"Your Highness has lost some weight." Li Xuan bowed and saluted, and then said: "The minister has just resigned from the Zichen Palace, and His Majesty ordered the minister to come to see His Highness. ”

Li Xian was slightly silent, and then solemnly bowed his hand in the direction of Zichen Palace: "Erchen takes the order." ”

Turning around, Li Xian looked at Huangfu Gongyi and Liu Neyan and said, "The two Aiqing will handle business here first, and go out for a walk with Uncle Wang. ”

"Yes!"

……

In the back garden of the East Palace, there are pines and cypresses, and snowmen are lined up.

Li Xian walked slowly, and then said softly: "Does Uncle Wang know, there are many things, and Gu can't mention them to Huangfu Gong and Brother Neyan, only Uncle Wang can understand Gu's situation...... Last year's San Lang incident, thank you Uncle Wang. ”

"Your Highness is gracious." Li Xuan bowed slightly, and then said: "Your Highness's golden body, everyone is around, there are some things, since no one sees and no one knows, then there is nothing, Your Highness bites to death, just don't make a mistake." ”

Li Xian's footsteps paused slightly, and then asked: "Before Uncle Wang leaves Beijing, he will give some advice to Lonely, I don't know if this year, Uncle Wang has a way to help Lone's situation?" ”

Li Xian turned around and looked at Li Xuan seriously.

There was a real look in his eyes.

Li Xuan sighed lightly, then looked into the depths of the East Palace, and said softly: "The weight of the East Palace, in Fu Zaide, the minister said in his early years, many sons and many blessings, if His Royal Highness can have more children, it is where the fortune is, the sky is auspicious, if it can be so, it will be as stable as Mount Tai." ”

Once a prince, not to mention personal ability, if you can have more than a dozen sons, this is a natural advantage, and no one can easily move you.

When Emperor Gaozu abdicated the throne of Emperor Taishang, ten years of stability, although there was also Emperor Taizong's filial piety, but when I thought about it, it was not because Emperor Gaozu gave birth to seven or eight children in ten years, and the deepest level of thought game was very subtle.

Li Xian nodded slightly, he was smart and thought of this.

Li Xian then spoke: "Uncle Wang, will it be too late for Gu to do this now?" ”

"Late?" Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It's not too late, this kind of thing is never too late, His Royal Highness, as the crown prince, in addition to abiding by the emperor's orders, inheriting the sect is also a heavy responsibility." ”

Li Xian raised his eyebrows, and he immediately heard the hidden meaning in Li Xuan's words.

With a light sigh in his heart, Li Xian turned his mouth and said: "I don't know what else Lone can do for Uncle Wang, Subi will fight this year, can Uncle Huang be sure?" ”

"Yes, the Tibetan magnates have no intention of defending Qamdo anymore, and the rest is just pressing step by step, but it will not lead to it, and when the people's hearts will collapse, they will flee themselves." Li Xuan's expression was calm, as if everything in Qamdo was within Li Xuan's fingertips.

"But there is one more thing that needs His Highness's help." Li Xuan bowed slightly, and when he saw Li Xian's eyes lit up, Li Xuan said slowly: "Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven will definitely visit Luoyang in the east this year, if Your Highness goes with you, I also hope that Your Highness can visit the Acting Princess to see if the internal and external attendants are neglectful?" ”

Li Xian's expression suddenly became solemn, and then, he seriously arched his hand and said: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, Gu will take San Lang Shilang and Taiping to go together, if someone acts recklessly, he will be killed." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

……

In the Kaihua Workshop, Li Xuan walked slowly, thinking in his heart.

Is the relationship between the emperor and the crown prince really irretrievable?

What Li Xuan saw today, whether it was the emperor or the crown prince, he didn't want everything to come to a point that everyone didn't want to see.

But no one can do it.

Li Xuan said to the outside world that it was Li Xian who moved his heart and colluded with Li Jingye, which led to everything sliding into the unfathomable abyss step by step.

But in fact, what really led to all this was the Empress Wu.

When the hearts of the people in the court began to belong to Li Xian, Empress Wu, who had always shared the rights equally with Li Zhi, took the lead.

It's called a temptation, but in fact he has already handed over the sword.

Li Xian did a lot, and the final result could only be forced to resist.

As soon as he resisted, the emperor couldn't sit still in an instant, because Li Xian's resistance had already threatened the emperor.

On the throne of power, only one person can sit.

When the emperor was sick, Empress Wu squeezed up, and when the prince appeared, it would squeeze the emperor and Empress Wu.

Keep squeezing, and someone will inevitably be squeezed down.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the martial queen will counterattack.

The root cause of all this lies with the emperor.

So Li Xian will inevitably fall, and when he begins to squeeze the emperor's power, he will fall.

It's hard to pick up on this size.

Therefore, for Empress Wu, the next emperor candidate is best Li Xian.

Because Li Xian's team is too shallow, so shallow that even the Empress Wu can intervene at will, when Li Xian really began to forcibly seize power, Li Zhi began to step down on the throne.

Li Xian is not bad, it's just that he, the virtuous prince, appeared too early, and if it was a few years later, then no one would be able to snatch his position.

The throne, it's that big.

Riding a horse and stopping in front of King Peng's mansion, Li Xuan turned over and dismounted, and then led the horse into the house.

Many people in the family are still cleaning up, and many people in the house will go to Xinghai with Li Xuan tomorrow.

After meeting her mother, Li Xuan returned to the East Courtyard.

Liu Jinyu was the only one in the East Courtyard.

Koji Dou'er, Pei Shitong, Liu Shubi, Xia'er, and Zhao'er are not there.

……

Helping Li Xuan take off her coat, Liu Jinyu asked softly, "Your Majesty didn't feel embarrassed, did you?" ”

Li Xuan wiped his face with a hot towel, shook his head and said: "No, everything in Changzhou is done by the husband, and the focus of Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven this year is not in Changzhou, but in Luoyang and Turkic." ”

"Luoyang?" Liu Jinyu's hand paused slightly, and asked softly, "What did you hear?" ”

"Chang'an is important, Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven will not let the chaos implicate Chang'an." Li Xuan sat on the couch, leaned back slightly, and said softly: "There are too many people around the prince, there are too many people from Chang'an, if something really happens, no one can control the outcome." ”

"Then there should be nothing going on at home, right?" Liu Jinyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"No!" Li Xuan shook his head, and said with a solemn face: "Be careful, at this time, it is the most easy time to be fished in troubled waters, all the Zhuangzi in Luoyang, Chang'an, must be regularly sent to investigate, and from time to time send people to spot check, be careful, don't be buried in the house with something that shouldn't be there, in case someone finds out, it will be unclear." ”

"Good!" Liu Jinyu nodded seriously, she didn't expect that there would be such a danger.

"In fact, it's not us who are really dangerous, it's the crown prince, if someone frames something in the East Palace, he can't tell what he is in now." Li Xuan sighed heavily.

Li Xuan remembered that in the original history, Li Xian was found to have hidden hundreds of pairs of armor in the stables of the East Palace, and was finally convicted of rebellion.

Many people complained about Li Xianming, saying that Li Xian was probably framed.

But in Li Xuan's view, this kind of planting is not very likely.

Because it's too risky.

Once the armor in the stable is discovered by Li Xian in private, there are armor and horses, as long as there are more people, then Li Xian really wants to rebel suddenly, and the emperor can't control it.

And the stable is really the key point in the first palace.

If Li Xian was secretly hidden in the stable with hundreds of armors and didn't notice it, he, the crown prince, would not have much need to exist.

"Lady, tell the prince that the only way he can do now is to give birth to more than one royal grandson for His Majesty this year, so that he can be saved."

Li Xuan saw that Liu Jinyu subconsciously wanted to ask, Li Xuan stretched out his hand, pressed it on her lips, and said softly: "I don't know if this is useful for my husband, for my husband now, I want to have a few more children with you." ”

"Ahh In Liu Jinyu's low call, Li Xuan had already picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.

Liu Jinyu was in a daze, and seemed to see Koji Douer and Pei Shitong, and also entered the bedroom......
