The tall courtyard walls keep the whirring autumn wind out.

Only dead leaves fell.

"Giggles" laughed in the backyard of the palace.

Li Xuan gently pushed her daughter Xia Niang on the swing with one hand, and held her son Zhao'er with the other.

A slight sound of footsteps sounded behind him, and Li Zhu stood in front of the courtyard gate and arched his hand: "Lord Wang, His Royal Highness has come down." ”

"Got it." Li Xuan grabbed the swing, picked up her daughter, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go see your brother Yingwang." ”

"Okay, okay!" Xia Niang clapped her hands and clapped non-stop, her face full of happiness.

Zhao'er subconsciously nodded her head and looked at her cheerful sister curiously.

Li Xuan hugged her son and daughter, came directly to the middle hall of the front yard, handed her daughter Xia Niang to Li Xian, and said with a smile: "Come, San Lang, look at your cousin." ”

"Oooh!" Li Xian picked up Xia Niang in a hurry, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

Li Xuan hugged Zhao'er and beckoned Li Xian to sit down, and then he opened his mouth to say hello: "How is the family, are you okay?" ”

"Fortunately, the imperial doctor goes to Xiang'er every day to consult, it's ......" Speaking of this, Li Xian said in a low voice: "I just don't know if it's a boy or a girl?" ”

"It doesn't matter, it's best for boys, it's not bad for girls." Li Xuan glanced at Xia Niang, and then said in a low voice: "The key is that you and the princess can have children." ”

Li Xian's eyes jumped, then relaxed, and then asked in a low voice, "Does Uncle Wang know about the recent rumors outside?" ”

"Yes, three rumors." Li Xuan hugged his quiet son Li Zhizhao, and said with a smile: "First of all, a few days ago, someone was spreading rumors, telling the story of filial piety to the emperor and the prince's feelings, and in the past two days, it was still said that it was the prince who was poisoned by Xuanxia, and then spread rumors to blame the queen of heaven, trying to separate the queen and the queen." ”

"Uncle Wang is not in a hurry." Li Xian looked at Li Xuan in some surprise, and then shook his head and said: "That was a rumor two days ago, and in the past two days, they have seen that San Lang was extravagant and obscene, pampered, wanton, and even killed......

"You, lethal?" Li Xuan looked up and couldn't help but be a little funny.

Li Xian's face fell, shook his head, and said: "Although San Lang did not kill people with his own hands, he has a good habit of gambling, although he loses more and wins less all year round, but there are times when he wins, there are wins and losses, and some people go bankrupt, this time the rumors are about these things." ”

"We're being slandered by rumors at the same time, don't say you don't know why." Li Xuan looked at Li Xian calmly.

"Father, Emperor and Mother, since they returned to Beijing, they have never seen anyone else." Li Xian looked at Li Xuan and said: "What Uncle Wang said, let San Lang feel at ease at home, Changshi also said that it is better to be still than to be motionless now, but now he is so slandered by others." ”

Li Xian couldn't help but clench his fists.

"You're in too much of a hurry." Li Xuan hugged her son who was rarely quiet, looked at the courtyard, and said softly: "Now, Uncle Wang will tell you the mystery here." ”

"First of all, someone blames the diva." Li Xuan looked in the direction of the palace, and then said softly: "Those are the hands and feet of the Demon Sect and the Turks, in order to disturb the court. ”

"But Jiro's poisoning is real." Li Xian's face was worried, and then he said, "Someone even splashed dirty water on Uncle Wang. ”

"The matter of the prince's poisoning, the secret guards are still investigating, and the person investigating is the former British Prince's Mansion Sima Su Lianghe." Li Xuan's words, Li Xian's face was suddenly full of surprise.

"Didn't he transfer away?" Li Xian had a very bad impression of Su Liangsi.

After all, Su Liangsi is a strict person, and Li Xian has always been a loose person.

"Now he is in charge of investigating the poisoning of the prince, and I believe that there will be a result soon." Li Xuan calmly looked up at Li Xian and said, "As for the rumors that you and I are all about, you should know that behind them are those people from the North Gate, so after you go back today, you will quietly send people from the mansion to amplify the rumors." ”

"Amplify the rumors." Li Xian was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, "How is this calculated?" ”

Li Xian knew Li Xuan quite well, and of course he knew that Li Xuan's arrangement was not as simple as it seemed.

Li Xuan raised his gaze, looked in the direction of the palace, and said softly: "Have you forgotten, Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven have always been close to the palace gate, and they haven't even summoned anyone, which actually means that they have been staring at everyone." The bigger the trouble they make now, the more disgusted the Queen of Heaven and His Majesty will be, so we simply add a fire......"

"Uncle Wang is clever." Li Xian looked at Li Xuan in great surprise, and then said in a low voice: "But the three of them are ...... tigers."

"We are actually covering up for the diva." Li Xuan lowered his head, sighed lightly and said: "There is more news about us, and the rumors about the queen of heaven are naturally smaller, as for the queen of heaven to be suspicious, then you need to do something." ”

"What's the matter?" Li Xian looked at it seriously.

"Actually, it's two things." Li Xuan groaned slightly, and said: "First of all, Su Liangsi, I have already recommended him to be the Sima of Yongzhou?" ”

"Yongzhou?" Li Xian's eyes couldn't help jumping.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "This person's ability is still good, it's just that the previous nonsense has fallen, but in the future, San Lang, you need to have such a person by your side to keep an eye on." ”

Li Xian looked up in amazement and looked at Li Xuan with puzzlement.

Li Xuan said softly: "Yao Changshi has the talent of a prime minister, but he mostly deals with internal affairs, Pei Shangshu has a keen eye and first-class decision, while Su Liangsi is meticulous in doing things, has means, and is talented in governing the country." ”

Li Xian's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe the meaning of Li Xuan's words.

What kind of person Yao Lingzhang is, Li Xian understands that he is indeed qualified to be the prime minister, but Zhongshu Ling monk Shangfu is almost ejaculation.

Pei Yan's criminal department is still a scholar, with a keen eye and first-class decision, it is definitely not a lie, and it is more than enough to be a Chinese scholar.

As for Su Liangsi, it is suitable for the Hubu Shangshu and the Shangshu servant to shoot.

Li Xuan sighed lightly and said: "The prince was deposed, unfilial piety comes first, if it is you, San Lang, you can be more concerned about internal affairs, but foreign affairs, you must also have the right people to do it for you......

Yao Changshi is your long history, enough to trust; Pei Shangshu has the previous thing and can be obedient; Su Liangsi, the official position is still low, and he can be wooed, especially since he has a good relationship with the bachelor of the North Gate. ”

"Bachelor of the North Gate?" Li Xian looked at Li Xuan in disbelief.

Li Xuan smiled lightly and said, "I know what you're thinking, but there is no eternal enemy in the world, there is no talent around you, and the students of the North Gate also have a good chance."

And even if it's a bachelor of the North Gate, the relationship with Shiro is both near and far, it just depends on your attitude. ”

After a slight pause, Li Xuan looked at Li Xian seriously: "San Lang, you have to look at the overall situation, you will be the prince in the future, and the bachelor of the North Gate will also be your courtier, you must learn to use it...... If you use them well, you will be able to protect Shiro. ”

"Protect Shiro?" Li Xian couldn't keep up with the meaning of Li Xuan's words.

"The North Gate Bachelor is going to gradually get away from Shiro." Li Xuan's words were finally very clear, and his expression was cold.

Li Xian immediately became solemn, and his ten fingers couldn't help rubbing.

Li Xuan sat there with her son in her arms, waiting for Li Xian's answer.

Li Zhizhao was babbling nonsense, and Xia'er next to him suddenly laughed and grabbed his younger brother directly.

"Shiro, there must always be some people around Shiro." Li Xian's voice was bitter, and his eyes were sad.

Li Xuan's body was cold for a while, and then his eyes lowered, and he said: "The last people who can stay are basically loyal, just give more rewards." ”

Li Xian nodded slightly.

"These things don't have to be done now." Li Xuan raised his head, looked at the situation outside, and said softly: "After you become the prince, call the people of the North Gate Bachelor to your side according to their duties and entrust them with important tasks, after a long time, people's hearts will naturally be attached, but ......"

"What?" Li Xian listened carefully to Li Xuan's every word, and when he saw him pause, he subconsciously looked at him.

"And Wu Chenghe." Li Xuan turned around and said in a low voice: "When the time comes, go and visit too, after all, you are also cousins, and the position of the Nine Temples in the Middle Palace, leave it for him, but only in the Nine Temples." ”

Li Xian's brows jumped, and when he heard Li Xuan finish speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It should be like this." ”

Wu Chengji wants to woo, but only to woo.

The children of the Li family have a natural vigilance against the children of the Wu family.

Maybe the reason lies in Helan Minzhi.

……

"The rest, that's what matters at hand." Li Xuan looked at Li Xian seriously and said: "There are some things that cannot be avoided, the death of the filial piety emperor, the poisoning of the crown prince, and the rumors in Luoyang, Chang'an, are rolling ......"

When Li Xuan said this, his voice deliberately stopped, and he could clearly see that Li Xian couldn't help but grit his teeth.

With a slight turn of thought, Li Xuancai continued: "No matter what, from your son's standpoint, no matter what, you can't let the queen be hurt by rumors, as I said before, let the people in your house release more true and false rumors, these are just appearances, and I don't understand the fundamentals." ”

"What else needs to be done?"

"The crown princess is now pregnant, and the prince has been deposed as a concubine." Li Xuan looked at his pair of children and said in a low voice: "Back then, the king of Hengshan County was deposed, two of the four sons survived, two of the three daughters, and none of them were all infected and died in the turbulent displacement. ”

"And rightfully so." Li Xian nodded lightly, his eyes flickering.

Li Xuan shook his head and said: "You don't understand what I mean, San Lang, it's not that I belittle you, in the eyes of the courtiers, you have been absurd for more than ten years, and you are still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, if you want to be accepted by the Manchu Dynasty faster, and even successfully master the top and bottom in the future, you need to do what you can't do by honoring the emperor and the prince?" ”

"What?" Li Xian raised his head and looked at Li Xuan seriously.

"Filial piety." Li Xuan said with a solemn face: "To Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, you have to be more filial, to the crown prince, to Shiro, you have to be more friendly, even if you do too much, you must let the world see clearly, there was once an emperor in history, who was truly based on filial piety to his parents and friendly brothers." ”

"Who?" Li Xian asked subconsciously.

"Emperor Jing of Han." Li Xuan sighed lightly.

Li Xian raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood what Li Xuan meant.

The conversation between Li Xuan and Li Xian in the East Palace, although extremely secret, may not be known to anyone.

At least Li Xian knows, and this is also Li Xuan's attitude all along.

Li Xian nodded lightly, for him, after becoming the crown prince, how to get along with his mother is also a difficult problem.

Now that Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty is following suit, he may not be able to find a way.

Li Xian's deposition has proven that it is not advisable to contend with each other.

Now following the example of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, he may be able to find a new way.

……

"It is not easy to protect the prince's children on the surface, but it may not be impossible." Li Xuan looked at Li Xian and said seriously: "San Lang, do you still remember what you said in the Qianyang Palace that you want to pass on your stepchildren to the filial piety emperor to inherit the incense?" ”

"Ahh Li Xian looked at Li Xuan in disbelief, then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and said, "Uncle Wang, this is a little inappropriate, right?" ”

"If you do this, the government and the opposition will be in an uproar, but the courtiers in the court will definitely admire your filial piety, and you, the prince, will sit firmly." Li Xuan smiled, then lowered his voice and said, "I know what you're worried about, so after you ask for succession, I will ask Your Majesty to make your son the emperor's grandson." ”

"In this way, the danger of the prince can be completely avoided from repeating itself in you."
