"Of course, it's a good name." Li Xian blurted out a sentence directly, looking at the somewhat surprised Empress Wu, Li Xian said a little embarrassed: "After the son becomes a father, he can understand some of the practices of the father and the queen mother, and the fourth brother still has a son." ”

"Thank you, Brother Huang." Li Dan stood on the other side, looking excited at Li Xian and bowing his hand.

"Okay, okay, the queen mother knows that you are brothers, but whether it is a daughter or a son, it is the blood of the queen mother, and the queen mother is very happy." Empress Wu patted Li Xian and Li Dan's arms, looking pleased.

Li Xuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he looked at Yuan Wanqing on the side with some puzzlement.

Yuan Wanqing seemed to have noticed Li Xuan's gaze, and Yuan Wanqing turned around a little apologetically.

After Princess Xiang became pregnant, she basically never left the house.

Liu Jinyu came to visit, but didn't say much.

After Li Xuan returned to Luoyang, Chang'an, the Xiangwang Mansion did not come to Li Xuan for consultation once.

You must know that among the rumors, Li Xuan has the ability to determine whether the fetus in the womb is male or female through pulse diagnosis.

However, before Li Chongzhao was not born, how dare the Prime Minister's Mansion let Li Xuan come.

After Li Chongzhao was born, the emperor was named the emperor's grandson, and the Xiangwang Mansion did not dare to let Li Xuan come.

If it is confirmed that the princess is the granddaughter of the emperor, the impact on the Xiangwang Mansion will be too great.

But not sure.

So Xiang Wangfu still found someone else.

That's why Empress Wu just tried Li Xian's words.

But in fact, Li Xuan and the others have never taught Li Xian to be suspicious of his brothers.

Basically, they taught him to be filial piety and friendship.

This is very different from what King Xiang and the North Gate Bachelor thought.

This is also the reason why Yuan Wanqing apologized just now.

……

Li Xuan waved his hand slightly, and smiled gently at Yuan Wanqing.

He didn't care about it.

Li Dan could not pose a threat to Li Xian.

Every crown prince understands that it is never his brother who is really a threat to them, but his mother.

As the most loyal fighter of the martial queen, Yuan Wanqing doesn't seem to understand this truth.

Li Xuan raised his head with a solemn gaze.

The painful screams in her ears kept ringing, and Li Xuan was a little puzzled, this time, was the princess really a daughter?

Dou Zhijing and Dou Sitai, father and son, were extremely restless.

They were as anxious as Li Dan, and even more anxious than Li Dan.

Occasionally, his eyes fell on Li Xuan, and he also brought out a trace of regret.

If Li Xuan had been able to see him earlier, maybe the situation would not have been so anxious.

Li Xuan's gaze fell on Doulu Qinwang's body.

Doulu Qinwang, who looked calm and steady.

In the Xiangwang Mansion, the role comparable to Huangfu Gongyi and Yao Lingzhang is Doulu Qinwang.

Doulu Qinwang was released, and it was immediately a state thorn history.

If the North Gate Scholar wants to promote the Xiangwang Mansion to investigate the hidden fields in Henan Province, then this matter can only be brought forward by Doulu Qinwang.

If he comes forward, then the long history of the Prime Minister's Mansion ......

The cry of "wow" directly planned Li Xuan's thoughts, and Li Xuan couldn't help but say in surprise: "It's a boy." ”

"Huh?" Empress Wu turned around in disbelief for the first time, looking at Li Xuan with surprise in her eyes.

Li Xuan hurriedly surrendered his hand: "The minister lost his words." ”

"The king of Nanchang is very good at listening, he should be a boy." Empress Wu smiled all over her face, glanced at Li Dan, who was also surprised, and her eyes fell on the house.

A maid wearing a light blue skirt walked out quickly with her swaddling clothes in her arms, came to the Empress Wu and knelt down directly: "The Queen of Heaven is a prince." ”

The baby was surprisingly quiet, and except for two screams when he was in the house at first, he basically didn't cry anymore when he went out.

"Good." Empress Wu glanced at the crumpled baby boy happily, and then said: "I just said, give the name into a weapon, the pearl and jade into a weapon, I hope that my grandson will become a weapon, and you will be good." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Li Dan could not suppress his joyful bow.

He didn't expect that it would really be a son.

He actually had a son.

"Let's be crowned the king of Yongping County, and there are 1,000 households in the city." Empress Wu took a jade plaque from his body and stuffed it into Li Chengqi's swaddling clothes, and then looked at Li Xian.

Li Xian smiled and took off a piece of jade wrench from his hand and stuffed it into the swaddling clothes.

Seeing Li Xian's somewhat heartless appearance, Empress Wu couldn't help but smile, and then turned her gaze to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan was slightly surprised, arched his hand, and then took off a string of jade beads from his wrist and carefully put them into the swaddling clothes.

At this moment, Li Chengqi moved.

The white and tender little hand stretched out, and then grabbed the jade bead in Li Xuan's hand, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Giggles." ”

Looking at this sudden scene, Li Xuan was stunned, he looked at Empress Wu with some surprise, and Empress Wu's brows were already furrowed.

Li Xuan hurriedly let go, and then retreated slightly.

I saw Li Chengqi holding Li Xuan's jade bead and laughing non-stop.

This magical scene made everyone not know what to say for a while.

is a good child, not close to his father, not close to his grandmother, but he is a little close to Li Xuan.

Seeing Li Chengqi's eyes staring at Yuzhu, Li Xuan's heart moved, and then he came to Li Xian's side and whispered.

Li Xian's face was full of surprise, and then he took out a jade gourd from his waist, and then carefully put it into the swaddling clothes.

The next moment, Li Chengqi decisively stretched out his hand, directly grabbed the jade gourd in his hand, and then smiled even more happily.

Empress Wu immediately understood, and laughed silently: "This little cub, his hobbies are really different." ”

On the jade plaque of the Empress Wu, there is a Maitreya Buddha image.

Li Xian's jade ring is as clean as new.

On the contrary, Li Xuan's jade beads are carved with untraceable bamboo, and Li Xuan's jade gourd is also engraved with fine leaves.

Li Xuan looked at Li Chengqi's dark eyes, and couldn't help laughing,

No wonder he would later give up the throne, it was originally by nature.

"Alright, let's send it back." Empress Wu waved her hand, then looked at Li Dan and said, "Be careful in the future, don't go astray." ”

"Whoa!" Li Dan suddenly became solemn.

Empress Wu looked at Li Xuan and said, "You have left some of your exclusive tonic prescriptions, and in this palace, this imperial doctor is not as high as your medical level." ”

Du Wenyu, the imperial physician standing under the door on one side, couldn't help but fall to his knees with a "poof".

Li Xuan immediately smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "Queen of Heaven, after the minister goes back, he will communicate more with Imperial Doctor Du, besides, in name, Imperial Doctor Du is also a subordinate of the minister." ”

Even now, Li Xuan still has the function of Shangyao Fengyu.

He knew that this appointment would not be able to be relieved for a while.

Because of this position, Li Xuan was able to enter the palace at an emergency moment.

Of course, it's just one person.

"Okay, okay, you have to take care of it by yourself." Empress Wu waved her hand directly, and without waiting for Li Xuan to give her hand, she turned to look at Li Dan and said: "The queen mother will return to the palace, such a happy event, I still have to tell your father the emperor, he has another grandson." ”

"Yes!" Li Dan bowed his hand heavily.

……

Under a starry sky, the carriage swayed towards the palace.

Li Xian smiled and didn't speak along the way, and he didn't know whether he was thinking of his son Li Chongzhao, or still thinking about Li Dan's son Li Chengqi.

Not far ahead is where the Kaihuafang is, Li Xuan whispered a few words outside, and the carriage immediately slowed down.

"Uncle Wang." Li Xian suddenly came back to his senses.

Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "There is something today, Your Highness remembers." ”

"Uncle Wang, please speak." Li Xian was completely stunned.

Li Xuan sighed lightly and said: "Today, I am afraid that the author Lang used ingenuity, for the matter of the fetus in Princess Xiang's mansion, they are afraid that they did not find anyone to distinguish between men and women at all, but they insisted that it was a girl, so that if Princess Xiang really gave birth to a daughter, then no one would be too disappointed, but if it was a boy, he would be extremely happy immediately." ”

"Ahh Li Xian's eyes widened in disbelief, he couldn't see that there was such a calculation in this.

"Therefore, in the future, when Your Highness is not sure that things are good or bad, let people be prepared with bad guesses, and finally if something good comes, it will immediately double the joy." Li Xuan bowed his hand, then turned around and got out of the carriage.

Li Xian nodded a little abruptly, and at this time, he saw a note being placed on the low table opposite.

When I picked it up, it was a poem:

Knowing from afar who can climb, the sky is more idle than the earth.

In addition to discussing the Tao to the Holy Monarch, the poems of the time fell into the world.

Li Xian was slightly stunned, how could it be such a poem?

Li Xian's brows furrowed, is this poem written by Li Chengqi?

But he's the son of King Xiang?

How can it be idle and Confucian?

Li Xian's hand paused in mid-air, and then took it back in front of him, thinking carefully about Li Chengqi's small East Palace today.

It's all in nature.

Nature.

Could it be that this child is noble by nature and likes Confucianism and Taoism?

If this kind of evaluation falls in the homes of ordinary people, it may be praised as a good word, but if it falls in the princely family, this is not a good word!

But that's a good thing.

Li Xian's heart moved, and then he clenched the paper with some shame.

Until he returned to the apse of the East Palace, Li Xian was busy throwing the paper into the brazier and burning it.

At this time, the crown princess Wei and the imperial grandson Li Chongzhao, who was held by the maid, came in.

Li Xian's face suddenly showed a look of relief, shame, regret and relief......

……

Li Xuan stayed alone in the study, with a huge map of northern Xinjiang lying flat in front of his eyes.

On the table beside him lay a thick body of paperwork.

Li Xuan's eyes were focused, his gaze fell in the direction of Dingzhou, and then swept towards the ancient city of Laiyun.

The distance between the two places is not close, coupled with the high mountain barrier and the defense of the Great Wall, it is not easy to pass.

But since the fall of the Eastern and Western Turks, the checkpoints between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks have been loosened a lot, mostly for tax collection, and not much for prevention.

Now that the Turks are in turmoil, although Datang has started to take precautions early, it is not easy to completely reverse people's minds......

The slight sound of footsteps interrupted Li Xuan's thoughts.

Li Xuan looked up and saw Liu Jinyu walking in from outside with a lantern.

"Husband!" Liu Jinyu hung the lantern on the door, then walked to Li Xuan's side, and whispered: "It's not early, what is the husband still busy with?" ”

"It's a matter of Youzhou." Li Xuan glanced at the location of Dingzhou and said in a low voice: "Today's defeat in the Duhu Mansion is probably due to the betrayal of the traitor......

"Like Dingzhou?" Liu Jinyu's expression suddenly became solemn.

This kind of thing happened one after another in Dingzhou and Shan Yu Duhufu, will it happen in other places in the future?

"Dingzhou is the Li Jiayun of the Li clan of Zhao County, so what about the capital protection mansion?" Li Xuan sighed lightly and said: "If it is still a member of the Li clan of Zhao County, then it is inevitable that Zhao Guogong will resign, but if it is not the Li clan of Zhao County, then it must be other families in Hebei." ”

"Didn't the husband already let the Fan Yang Lu clan lose his sincerity to the Pingyuan County Prince?" Liu Jinyu suddenly remembered what Li Xuan had done earlier.

Li Xuan shook her head slightly, and said with a little worry: "What worries about my husband is not only the Fanyang Lu family, the Zhaojun Li family, and the Qinghe Cui family, but all the big families in the entire Hebei.

Over the years, they have traded too much with the grasslands, and they have been caught I don't know how many tricks? ”

Ashina Gu Dulu and Ashina Mo Sike have always been hiding behind Ashina Nishu, secretly plotting everything.

"Husband is worried that the whole Hebei will be in chaos?" Liu Jinyu suddenly gasped.

Li Xuan shook his head slightly, and said faintly: "It may not be a big mess, after all, Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, but if it is a mess, Hebei will inevitably die, and there will be a lot of deaths." ”
