As soon as he withdrew from the Zichen Palace, Li Xuan heard the voice of the Empress Wu behind him: "Spread the decree, the king of Nanchang will talk about it in vain, and he will be fined for three months." ”

Li Xuan's footsteps quickly paused, and he turned around and arched his hand: "The minister's order." ”

After speaking, Li Xuan slowly retreated from the golden steps.

Standing on the square, Li Xuan shook his head helplessly.

When Empress Wu wanted to do something, she actually used him as an introduction.

Li Xuan is now in the DPRK and China, and he can be regarded as a figure that everyone has noticed.

Now that he has been punished, it is inevitable that someone will ask why he was punished.

What are you talking about?

At this moment, Princess Taiping's matter will naturally be involved.

After that, it's time for Li Xuan to repair the book.

The re-annotation of "Cutting Rhyme" uses first-class talents in the DPRK and China.

is Lu Zhaolin, who is also famous in the world, and even if it weren't for his poor health, I'm afraid he would have entered the East Palace a long time ago.

Just now, Empress Wu asked Li Xuan to put He Zhizhang in it, I am afraid that it will arouse a lot of attention.

Li Xuan couldn't help but look back at the Zichen Hall behind him.

Has the emperor acquiesced in this matter?

Li Xuan's brows furrowed slightly.

Why now?

The war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks in Monan is in the ascendant, and now at this time, it is difficult not to think about the marriage of Princess Taiping.

Was the Emperor thinking about something else?

But so what?

Just the six words of Princess Taiping's choice of son-in-law came out, and the younger generation of scholars in the Tang Dynasty were afraid to go crazy.

It's not just them, it's their parents.

It's just that now the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks has reached this point?

Or is there something Li Xuan doesn't know.

In his calculations, there are only three or five people who are really suitable for Princess Taiping's future husband.

Age, appearance, and knowledge, as long as you pick carefully, Princess Taiping's husband can be picked out.

Why all the fanfare.

Unless...... Something has already happened that Li Xuan doesn't know.

No, it's not just that, a lot of other things have already happened, but they've been deliberately hidden in inconspicuous places.

To find out all these things, Li Xuan will need to spend some time.

……

Thinking about it, Li Xuan had already walked towards the palace gate.

As soon as he walked through the shadow of His Highness Han Yuan, a familiar figure had already walked over from the opposite side.

Li Xuan subconsciously stopped and arched his hand: "Uncle! ”

"Let's go back first." Zhao Gong didn't have time to say anything, just glanced at Li Xuan, and he had already walked briskly past him.

Li Xuan was suddenly surprised, this is an urgent call from the queen of heaven!

Li Xuan's brows furrowed, why did he just leave Hanyuan Hall and call Zhao Gong over.

What is this going to do.

Thoughts only flashed in Li Xuan's mind, and the next moment, Li Xuan had already walked quickly to the palace gate.

He nodded slightly with Cheng Chubi on the city gate, and said hello, Li Xuan turned around and walked towards the East Palace.

However, he had barely taken two steps when his steps stopped.

Strange complexion.

Today's Li Xuan, the only thing that can be involved with the princess's choice of son-in-law is that he has a cousin Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi is seventeen years old this year, and now he has been studying in Guozijian for three years, and it is natural for him to participate in the scientific examination.

If he can participate in the scientific examination, he is naturally old enough to participate in the princess's son-in-law.

Of course, Zhao Qi is now engaged, and the marriage is his own cousin, the daughter of the Qinghe Cui family.

However, the woman is two years younger and has not yet been engaged.

It's just that now, does Empress Wu want Zhao Qi to also participate in the selection of a son-in-law?

Of course, it can't be a real choice of son-in-law, but it is just an existence as a foil.

Qinghe Zhao really can't be on the table in this matter.

Even the Tianshui Zhao clan is the same.

At present, this matter is much bigger than Li Xuan originally thought.

He had a feeling that the current incident alone had attracted the attention of almost all the families in the entire Tang Dynasty.

And behind all this, it is the emperor who is secretly manipulating.

No one knows what the emperor is calculating.

……

After returning to the East Palace, Li Xuan immediately conveyed the holy will of the Empress Wu to Li Xian.

Of course, he didn't say anything about choosing a son-in-law.

Wu Hou didn't say a word about these words, and everything was Li Xuan's own guess.

The East Palace soon moved, especially the people related to the compilation of books, and immediately began to enter and exit among the many scholars, attracting talents to participate in the compilation of books.

Li Xian was also very excited, this event could help him quickly spread his influence among the young scholars.

Li Xuan hid in the East Palace, carefully checking the reports sent to the East Palace in all aspects.

These things were all copies that were sent to the East Palace after being selected by the three provinces.

The East Palace now has no right to dispose of court affairs.

Li Xuan, Su Liangsi, people who have their own duties to do, will not tell Li Xian about their own affairs.

However, in the chaos of official documents, it is not easy to find out what is hidden.

Li Xuan was busy for several days, and it was not until the news of He Zhizhang's return to Beijing came that he breathed a sigh of relief.

packed up his clothes, took Li Zhu and others, and went to Jinguangmen to pick up He Zhizhang.

The He family is not without clansmen in Chang'an, He Zhizhang's two uncles, He Ji and He Yi, are now bachelors of Hongwenguan, from Wupin.

He Zhizhang returned to Beijing, and Li Xuan went to Hongwen Hall to pick up the two by the way.

Recently, Donggong edited "Cut Rhyme" and seconded many books from Hongwenkan.

He Ji and He Yi are bachelors of Hongwenkan, and many things are instructed.

After all, even Yang Jiong, in the face of the two seniors, is deficient in many aspects.

Only Du Xianyan still has the biggest feeling of the world.

……

On the banks of the Weishui River, the black-lacquered carriage stopped.

Li Xuan lifted the curtain, and next to him were two scholars on horseback.

Looking at the heavy sail shadows in the upper reaches of the Wei River in the distance, Li Xuan turned sideways and said: "The last time this king saw Ji Zhen was when he returned to Beijing three months ago, and now it is only three months away, but he suddenly feels like he is in a different world. ”

"There have been too many changes in the DPRK and China." He Ji subconsciously said something, and He Ji immediately glared at him.

Li Xuan nodded lightly, this is indeed the case.

In just three months, the crown prince Li Xian was deposed, and Li Xian became the crown prince.

Li Xian's second son, Li Guangshun, became the king of Linzi County, and succeeded the filial piety emperor Li Hongxianghuo.

Li Xian's imperial grandson, Li Chongzhao, was born.

Li Xuan's three sons were born at the same time.

The war in the grasslands is rekindled.

Datang and Turkic have experienced a winter of fighting, although each other's losses are not small, but the real main force collision has not happened until now.

"This winter, the grassland will not relax." Li Xuan got out of the carriage, and He Ji and He Yi also dismounted.

He Ji nodded and said in agreement: "Back then, the snow of Weiguo Gong was severe and cold, and he went straight to the big tent of Jieli, and since then, the Turks have to sleep with their eyes open when it snows heavily in winter, lest anyone accidentally kill the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Wenxi County Gong is also magical." He Yi answered, then looked at Li Xuan, and asked curiously: "The prince is also the commander of the army, if this is the case, will the prince attack?"

"If the heavens do not take it, there will be disaster." Li Xuan nodded affirmatively, and then said: "However, this king's movements may be faster, and the mobilized army will be more, even if the other party has more preparations, no matter how much defense, it will not help." ”

"Wang Ye Yingwu......" He Ji and He Yi's words had not yet been finished, and in the rear, a rapid sound of horses' hooves had already rushed in.

A dozen young men rode quickly towards the river.

Li Xuan looked at the shizi who was galloping on horseback, his eyes widened, and when they stopped not far away, Li Xuan sighed lightly and said: "It seems that this king is really not young, it seems that he has not been so wanton for a long time." ”

He Yi smiled and said: "It's better not to run wantonly, the prince really wants to be wanton, I'm afraid that someone's family has already descended from heaven." ”

"Yes." Li Xuan nodded in agreement.

If he is really presumptuous, I am afraid it will never be because of himself, but because the emperor and the Empress Wu have a holy decree to fall.

Only in this case will Li Xuan act recklessly.

"Hey, the person at the head seems to be Chen Boyu." He Ji suddenly spoke, and He Yi and Li Xuan were slightly stunned.

He Ji hurriedly said: "Chen Boyu is a young talent, he has been through hundreds of schools of history, and he has no regard for it, and this time he entered Beijing, I am afraid that he will also participate in next year's scientific examination." ”

Li Xuan nodded suddenly, it was a scholar He Zhizhang knew before, but he hadn't heard him much.

"Since my uncle knows each other, you might as well call me over to get acquainted, they are here today, presumably they are also here to pick up Ji Zhen, don't wait for Brother Ji Zhenxian to leave with us, it's not good for them to go back empty." Li Xuan smiled.

"Thank you for your kindness." He Ji gave his hand seriously, and then stepped forward to greet Chen Boyu and the others.

It was also at this time that Chen Boyu saw He Ji and led everyone to bow down to say hello.

He Ji said a few words, and Chen Boyu looked at Li Xuan's side, with a look of embarrassment on his face, but the next moment, he was surrounded by his companions and came towards Li Xuan.

Dressed in a cyan robe, straight and clean, with a long sword hanging from his waist, his face is handsome, and his hair is tied with a black belt on his head.

A very heroic teenager.

Li Xuan had never seen such a heroic teenager for a long time, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Chen Boyu came to the front and arched his hand at Li Xuan: "Chen Ziang of Zizhou, I have seen the king of Nanchang. ”

"Huh?" Li Xuan raised her eyebrows, and subconsciously asked, "Your name is Chen Ziang?" ”

"Yes!" Chen Ziang arched his hand a little sneeringly, and said: "When I was young, I was ridiculous, and I never thought that it would enter the ears of the prince, I am really ashamed." ”

Li Xuan suddenly recalled and said: "Young Ren Xia is not a bad thing. ”

Zizhou is Mianyang, just on the side of Pengzhou.

Li Xuan had indeed heard of Chen Ziang's name.

However, at that time, he felt that Chen Ziang, who was kind and charitable, generous, martial, good at swords, and did not read much, would not be the Chen Ziang who wrote the song of Dengyouzhou in later generations.

So I always thought it was the same name, but I didn't expect it to be really me.

This made him really emotional.

Li Xuan looked Chen Ziang up and down, and asked curiously: "If this king remembers correctly, in the last Yuan Dynasty, you were still in Zizhou?" ”

"Yes, Ziang is a ridiculous young man, Yi Fengchu, fencing accidentally injured others, so he abandoned martial arts and followed the text, and was determined to refuse old friends, and studied angrily, so that he has today." Chen Ziang bowed heavily to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan waved his hand and said with emotion: "Yi Feng has only been studying for four years now, and he has studied so far, and his talent is amazing, and his talent is amazing." ”

After four years of study, he was able to go to Beijing to participate in the scientific examination, which is really surprising.

"I don't know how many times stronger than Lu Meng, who was three days away from Shibei back then." Li Xuan exclaimed.

"The prince has won the prize." Chen Ziang hurriedly surrendered his hand, and then pulled the friends behind him and said: "Lord Wang, this is Yanshi Bi Gou, this is Wang Shi of Youzhou, and this is Fan Yang Lu Zang's ......."

In the fourth year of Tang Gaozong's reign (659 AD), Chen Ziang was born in Zizhou. When he was a teenager, Chen Ziang was kind and charitable, generous, and martial and swordsman.

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he didn't know how to read.

Later, because of fencing injuries, he abandoned martial arts, and was determined to refuse old friends, study angrily, read a lot of books, delve into history, and learn from hundreds of schools in a few years.

In the first year of Tiaolu (679 AD), Chen Ziang left the Three Gorges, went north to Chang'an, entered the Guozijian to study, and participated in the imperial examination in the second year.
