In front of King Peng's mansion, more than a dozen carriages stopped at the door.

Countless servants brought various gifts such as silk, tea, and porcelain from the carriage into Peng's mansion.

Riding on the horse, Li Xuan looked at the sudden scene in front of him and was a little stunned.

Even he, who has been in Chang'an for so many years, has never seen anyone move so many things to his house.

"Go and ask, what's going on?" Li Xuan's face became solemn, and he must ask for something when he is courteous.

"Whoa!" Li Zhu arched his hand and walked quickly into the courtyard.

Li Xuan turned over and dismounted, handed the horse rope to the servant on the side, and then entered the courtyard from the side.

Li Bi had already quickly greeted him at this time, and arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang, it's the middle doctor who is here." ”

"What's going on with these things?" Li Xuan still frowned, and said: "In this world, only nephews have ever given gifts to their uncle's family, and there has never been an uncle who has given gifts to his nephew's family......"

"This is not sent to you by Uncle, this is sent to you by someone else's Uncle." Zhao Gong walked out of it with a smile.

Li Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand, and at the same time asked curiously, "Who is so generous?" More than a dozen carts of silk, tea, and porcelain, I'm afraid it's worth a lot of money, is there anything so worthy of someone else's picture for my nephew? ”

"Your words are enough." Zhao Gong turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard, and Li Xuan hurriedly followed.

"Uncle, this sounds a little scary!" Li Xuan's face was full of wry smiles.

"Okay, don't pretend, there are still things in this world that can make King Ling Nanchang so afraid." Zhao Gong shook his head and said, "It's a big deal that you send all the things back." ”

Li Xuan calmed down, entered the middle hall, and asked the maid to hurry up and serve tea.

Zhao Gong sat on the top, took a sip, looked at Li Xuan, who had calmed down on the side, and asked, "Did you guess?" ”

"It's the Cui family, the only people who can let my uncle deliver things to my aunt's house are the people from my aunt's family." Li Xuan turned his head to look at the gifts that had been sent to the warehouse outside, and then sighed and said: "I'm afraid that only the Cui family has the pride to give so many gifts, just to say hello." ”

That's right, just say hello.

Zhao Gong will not harm Li Xuan, so even if the Cui family sends so many things, there will be nothing to embarrass Li Xuan.

So it can only be a princess thing.

But Li Xuan couldn't be the master of the princess's affairs, so they asked Zhao Gong to send gifts to the door, just begging him not to say bad things.

Some people don't succeed enough, but they definitely have more than they lose.

……

"When you can help, you can say a few kind words for you." Zhao Gong took a sip of the teacup, and then said: "The Cui family doesn't expect to be able to be a princess, but it is the most practical to leave a good impression in the eyes of the emperor and queen." ”

Li Xuan nodded slowly, the real wealthy family is not eager to marry a princess and be a concubine.

Unlike the Du family, which is not a broken family, and not like the Yang family, who is too deeply involved in the former Sui, the Cui family is very clear about all the pros and cons of Princess Shang, so it is not urgent.

In this way, it shows a bit of magnanimity.

Li Xuan nodded, then looked at Zhao Gong and said, "Uncle, having said so much, who is the son of the Cui family pushed out this time?" ”

Yang Zhiyi of the Yang family, Du Pengju of the Du family, and Lu Zangyong of the Lu family, all of them are superior in talent and learning, and the Cui family is ......

"Cui Xuan, the son of Cui Xuanwei in the Hebu Lang." Zhao Gong said this, and Li Xuan's expression suddenly became solemn.

Cui Xuanwei's father, Cui Shen, is the prince of Boling County and the Boling of the Boling Cui family.

"The Cui family has really shown great sincerity!" Li Xuan sighed lightly, and the grandsons of the Duke of Boling County were all taken out.

"You should remember Tang Jian, Tang Jian's son Tang Shanzhi, married Princess Yuzhang, the daughter of Taizong." Zhao Gong saw Li Xuan nodding, and then said: "Tang Jian's daughter is married to a cousin of Cui Shen, the prince of Boling County, and the former secretary and supervisor, Cui Xinggong. ”

Li Xuan nodded slowly, when Li Jing destroyed Jieli, it was Jieli who used Tang Jian, who was in the Turks, as a pretext to deceive, relaxed his guard, and then attacked in a war.

"Cui Shen, the prince of Boling County, has another son, Cui Sheng, who is now Langzhong of the Criminal Department, and was a servant of the imperial history earlier." Zhao Gong sighed lightly and said, "The Cui family doesn't expect Princess Nengshang, but they prefer to be in the position of the sixth squire. ”

"But the Cui family's influence in the DPRK is already very large." Li Xuan sighed lightly.

Above the Cui family, there are Huangmen Shilang, Cui Zhiwen, the third product under the Tongzhong Shumen, Shi Cui Zhiyan, the governor of Luozhou, Cui Mi in the middle of the imperial history, and Hubu Langzhong and Criminal Langzhong below.

You must know that the household is controlled by the Empress Wu, and the most important force in the control of the Household by the Empress Wu is the four Hubu Langzhong.

The Cui family was able to intervene in this, in addition to the good means, the vision was also vicious enough.

"The Pei family is more powerful." Zhao Gong glanced at Li Xuan and said: "Pei Yan is the secretary of the criminal department, Pei Xingjian is the secretary of the military department, and now he also controls more than 100,000 troops, as well as Pei Guangxiao, the secretary of Zongzheng Temple, Pei Judao, the servant of the criminal department, and the strength of the Xue family is not bad, Xue Yuanchao is the prime minister, the left concubine of the East Palace, and Xue Li is the general of the left guard." ”

"The Cui family, the Pei family, the Xue family, among the several major families, the three of them are the most powerful." Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"The Wei family is not bad, there is the crown princess, and the prime minister of Zhongshu will have one of them sooner or later; In addition, there is the Li family, and the Li family of Zhao County also has successors in addition to the Zhongshu Order. Zhao Gong shook his head lightly and said: "This is still the result of His Majesty's prohibition on several of them marrying each other, otherwise it is very difficult to say who is surnamed in this world." ”

Li Xuan suddenly felt a heavy pressure fall on him.

Zhao Gong continued: "You don't know the reason why you were forcibly left in Beijing this time, although Your Majesty is not afraid of accidents on the front line, but you are in Beijing, so even if there is an accident on the front line, Your Majesty can turn around." ”

"But my nephew will leave Beijing on the ninth day of the next month, unless His Majesty orders to stay for the time being, otherwise ......" Li Xuan raised his eyes to look at Zhao Gong with doubts in his eyes.

Zhao Gong shook his head slightly and said: "Don't think about it, Your Majesty will not easily exchange the princess, who can be the princess depends on the ability of each family." ”

Li Xuan nodded slowly, from this point of view, the context of many things can be followed.

The granddaughter of Gao Kan, the prince of Pingyuan County, married into the East Palace as the crown princess, and the son of the Xue family wanted to be the princess.

Li Xuan sighed with emotion and said, "The Pei family seems to have done something wrong. ”

"Not necessarily." Zhao Gong lowered his voice and said, "Between Pei Yan and Pei Xingjian, it's still good to make a fuss, you did the right thing......

"I heard that Pei Shangshu inspected the military department in his early years." Li Xuan raised his head and looked at Zhao Gong in particular.

"Have you forgotten, in the last Yuan Dynasty, Pei Shangshu also personally led troops and swept the grassland." Zhao Gong brought up the old thing.

Li Xuan immediately understood that Pei Yan also had a group of his own forces in the army......

"Lord Wang." Li Bi stood silently in front of the hall, standing with his hands tied.

"What's the matter?" Li Xuan looked up.

"The Zheng family sent someone." Li Bi's face was still a little uncertain.

"Who?" Li Xuan and Zhao Gong stood up at the same time.

"The Zheng family is here from the housekeeper, and they are giving the same gift as the middle doctor." Li Bi couldn't believe it.

Li Xuan immediately understood: "The Zheng family also wants to take this opportunity to show their heads. ”

"Fanyang Lu's family, Qinghe Boling Cui family, Zhaojun Li family, Xingyang Zheng family, Jingzhao Wei's family, Jingzhao Du family, Hedong Xue family, Hedong Pei family, Hongnong Yang family, I'm afraid this time I will show my head." As the commander of the secret guards, Zhao Gong knew far more than the others.

Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It doesn't matter who Princess Shang is this time...... It seems that my nephew will have to stay at home less these days, so forget it, my nephew just has something to find Zhou Guogong. ”

Zhao Gong looked at Li Xuan with a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

……

"Zhou Guogong, Zhou Guogong, go slowly." Li Xuan strode under the Danfeng Gate to catch up with Wu Chenghei, who was about to get into the carriage, and said with a smile: "Guogong, how about the East Palace?" ”

Wu Chengsi stood on the carriage, looked at Li Xuan with a wry smile on his face, and said, "Lord Wang, I don't think Chenghei has been in enough trouble recently." ”

Recently, I don't know how, among the scholars, the news of Kaiwu Chenghei's intention to return to the dynasty has been spread.

In the eyes of those who have a heart, it has become Wu Chenghei who wants to return to the dynasty to compete for the position of the head of the household.

Almost at the same time, there was already an imperial history that impeached Wu Chenghei for violating the imperial system and acting recklessly.

He has been in trouble recently, but now Li Xuan wants to pull him to repair the Book of Han.

Wu Chenghe's heart suddenly couldn't help but scold.

"Okay." Li Xuan unexpectedly let go of his hand, and in Wu Chenghe's surprised gaze, he arched his hand at him and said, "Actually, Xuan's search for Guogong today is not what Guogong thinks, but there is another thing that needs Guogong's help." ”

"Not the Hanshu thing?" Wu Chengsi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not a matter of compiling the "Book of Han", other matters could be discussed.

"Where did Guogong go?" Li Xuan smiled, and then said: "This time, the Pingyuan County Duke did not return to Beijing because of the sudden war on the front line, so the East Palace hopes that the Guogong can go to the Pingyuan County Mansion to welcome his relatives." ”

Wu Chengsi was slightly stunned, looked at Li Xuan and said, "Didn't the prince do this?" ”

Li Xuan shook his head a little bitterly and said: "Xuan also wants to go, but the best time selected by Zongzheng Temple, Taichang Temple and Taishi Bureau is on the sixteenth day of the first month, but Xuan's first nine days are about to leave." ”

"How many more days will the prince stay?" Wu Chengsi really didn't expect that the emperor didn't let Li Xuan stay in Chang'an for a few more days.

"The war matters." Li Xuan sighed lightly and said: "According to normal, the end of March and April in Tanggula Mountain is enough time for the war, but Xuan has a feeling that the Qinling Tomb will not give Xuan that much time, so it is better to go back and prepare early." And there is also a war in the grassland this year, so prepare early to avoid trouble in the future. ”

"I see." Wu Chengsi immediately understood Li Xuan's thoughts, no, this is the emperor's idea.

"Then, the prince's affairs will be handed over to the heir." Wu Chengji completely agreed.

Li Xuan smiled, took a step back, and said sincerely: "Then Xuan won't disturb the Guogong, so as not to think about anything else." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Wu Chengsi glanced in the direction of Chengtianmen, where the ministers were slowly coming out, and Wu Chengsi hurriedly surrendered his hand.

……

The curtain was lowered, and Wu Chengsi breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to mess with the matter of "Hanshu" at all.

There is no family in the world that is willing to be contaminated with the "Book of Han".

Wu Chengsi sneered slightly, I'm afraid this level of the East Palace will not be easy.

Immediately, Wu Chenghe's brows couldn't help frowning.

The king of Nanchang has always been calculating, and this time let him be the prince and marry the prince to the concubine, I am afraid it is not so simple.

What is he calculating?
