"The prince practices killing?" Li Zhi's eyes narrowed suddenly, and his fists couldn't help but clench lightly.

This issue is too sensitive.

Immediately, Li Zhi relaxed, looked at Li Xuan with a smile and said, "You say, I will listen to what you have to say, if what you say is wrong......

The emperor's words were not finished, but anyone could hear it, and if Li Xuan didn't explain this matter well, he would immediately be in big trouble.

"Your Majesty!" Li Xuan sincerely bowed his hand and said seriously: "Although the prince was absurd in his early years, he was too kind after all, and the minister knew that His Majesty would have an arrangement, but this matter should be done sooner rather than later, please forgive your Majesty for the crime of being abrupt." ”

After speaking, Li Xuan knelt down directly and bowed his head to the ground.

"Get up." The emperor glanced at him, raised his hand to make him stand up, and then snorted coldly: "You really rely on yourself to leave Beijing tomorrow, so you dare to say anything." ”

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and arched his hand: "The minister is guilty." ”

"Forget it." Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "The spring hunt has not been carried out for a long time, so let the prince preside over the spring hunt today." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Xuan looked excited and bowed heavily.

The spring hunt is the most test.

If you don't pay attention to it, even the prince is easy to be calculated.

When Li Chengqian was lame, there is a saying that he was calculated by Li Tai, the king of Wei.

But in any case, the spring hunt is also a decisive occasion to kill.

Especially if the prince can hunt the prey with his own hands, then it is not too difficult to give a direct killing order in the future.

This kind of thing was not supposed to be said suddenly now, and it should have been cultivated gradually and slowly, but ......

Li Zhi was silent for a long time, and then he said softly: "Do you think that the people of the East Palace, if there is something, who is most worthy of trust?" ”

"Su Liangji." Li Xuan did not hesitate and gave it up directly.

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Xuan up and down, and said, "You seem to have thought about this question for a long time. ”

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded seriously, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the ministers of the East Palace, each has its own ties, but if it is said that at the critical moment, only Su Liangji can directly draw the sword for His Royal Highness the Prince, and he has the means to achieve immediate results, not sticking to all kinds of restrictions, and he dare not say it for a long time, but in the short term, it is enough for the prince to get rid of all crises." ”

"I see." Li Zhi instantly heard Su Liangsi's character from Li Xuan's words.

Looking up, Li Zhi looked at Li Xuan again, and sighed softly: "San Lang's cultivation time is a little short after all, you don't need to be heavy-handed, it is difficult for him to have the level of Erlang and Da Lang, I understand your thoughts, but you also need to be cautious, it is sometimes not a good thing to be too extreme." ”

"The minister knows his mistake." Li Xuan bowed his hand heavily.

"San Lang, Shiro, and Taiping, they all have a good relationship with you, I heard that Taiping looked for you again a few days ago?" Li Zhi couldn't help frowning.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Xuan replied seriously and said, "The princess wants to select one or two children from a poor family to recommend to the court every year during the scientific examination, and the minister slightly mentioned two sentences. ”

"Son of a poor family." Li Zhi nodded slowly and said, "It's okay, after all, the princess also has the right to recommend." ”

Li Zhi nodded in approval of this approach, because the key to this matter lies with the children of the poor family.

The children of the big family have too many opportunities to enter the ranks, and it is not easy for the emperor to use the children of the poor family.

Princess Taiping opened a road from here, and the emperor could use people in one more way in the future.

Princess Pingyang, the sister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, once recommended two talents to Emperor Wu, Wei Qing and Huo Quai.

These two people directly brought the Han Dynasty an advantage over the Xiongnu for hundreds of years, how rare it was.

The emperor naturally hoped that Princess Taiping would be the same.

"That's right." Li Zhi's face calmed down, looked at Li Xuan and said: "Taiping will get married in a year or two, and you can also see those people on Chinese New Year's Eve, who do you think is more suitable." ”

Li Xuan looked surprised, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Xue Shao, Cui Xuan, and Lu Yuan are all first-class talents, and they are all from top families, which can be matched with the princess, as for who belongs in the end, it is all in the decision of Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven, and the princess, why should you say anything." ”

"Hmph, didn't you dare to say it just now, why are you timid now." Li Zhi waved his long sleeves, then looked at Li Xuan and said, "Say it, I'll listen to it." ”

"Whoa!" Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, if you say who is the most suitable for the princess, the minister thinks that it is actually better than Xue Shao." ”

"Why?" The Emperor looked up calmly, and this answer did not seem to be unexpected to him.

"Because the minister thinks that if in special circumstances, such as during the spring hunting, Her Royal Highness the princess is in danger, others don't say that they turn around and flee, they only say that they will always hesitate at the moment of crisis, but I am afraid that only Xue Shao will not hesitate to protect the princess at the first time." Li Xuan bowed his head and arched his hand, looking emotional.

Xue Shao is the least retreating among all of them.

Xue Shao seems to be a good learner, but in fact, if he is really admitted to the Jinshi, his chances are not great.

The Xue family is indeed a top family, but in fact, there is not much support for him.

As for the kinship with the emperor, when Li Zhi was there, he was able to take care of one or two.

In case the emperor is not there one day, then neither Li Xian nor Li Dan will have much affection for him.

The only thing he can really grasp is Princess Taiping, so for the sake of the princess, he will do everything he can.

This is enough, and this is also the most important criterion for the emperor to choose a son-in-law.

Not to mention, Xue Shao is the son of his sister Princess Chengyang, and his own people are always better than outsiders, and he doesn't need to use his daughter to win over anyone.

"Okay, I got it." Li Zhi waved his hand and no longer dwelled on the affairs of these children.

He raised his head and looked at Li Xuan with a solemn expression: "Twenty-seven Lang, now it is getting closer and closer to giving you the heir King Peng, when the time comes, you will be the heir of King Peng, and your son will be the king of Jinchang County...... Now that it's the last stalk, you must not be negligent. ”

"Your Majesty rest assured." Li Xuan bowed his hand in a deep voice and said: "On the great enemy of the Qinling Kingdom, although the minister has the advantage of terrain and the ability to provoke the Tubo court, but on the Qinling must have unexpected tricks, and even in Tubo, there are other more talented people, if these problems are not solved, the minister will definitely not have the slightest carelessness." ”

"That's fine." Seeing that Li Xuan was so organized, Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, I hope to see you escort the lord of Tubo to the court and dance and have fun for my Tang monarchs." ”

Li Xuan brushed away the long pendulum, then knelt directly on the ground, and kowtowed in a deep voice: "Your Majesty take care, Your Majesty will last for thousands of years." ”

"Go to Hugh, go Hugh." The Emperor laughed and waved his hand.

Li Xuan stood up and slowly retreated.

Standing in front of the door of the hall, Li Xuan bowed down again before turning to leave.

……

After Li Xuan left for a long time, Li Zhi's face slowly sank.

Li Xuan's loyalty, Li Zhi has never been worried.

Li Xuan has never cared about the emperor's placement of hands and eyeliner around him.

It is quite unscrupulous to use, and those people who were sent to the Changzhou Assassin Mansion and the Changzhou Governor's Mansion, including Zhang Da'an, Xing Wenwei, and Cheng Zhongzheng, Li Xuan let them give full play to their talents as much as possible.

Even Wang Dezhen, Wei Hongji, and Yang Zhirou, Li Xuan did not hesitate to accept all the orders, and was even a little happy.

Because he saw the benefits of these people at a glance.

said that Li Xuan had no selfishness, and the emperor didn't believe it at all, but this bit of selfishness was allowed.

And in the early years, Li Xuan's selfishness was basically on Li Xian.

Li Xian......

Li Zhi couldn't help but sigh softly, he was not blind.

Li Xuan showed deep concern for the future, and Li Zhidong watched the fire.

What he was doing all winter seemed to be preparing for the day in the future.

Li Xuan is loyal to Li Zhi, he can feel it, Li Xuan wishes he could really live for thousands of years, but it is impossible.

There will always be a day in the future.

And what about after that day?

Li Xian became emperor.

Li Zhi couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly.

Think about those jackals in the political affairs hall, Pei Yan, Li Jingxuan, Li Yiyan, Liu Xianli, Cui Zhiwen, and the future Wang Dezhen, Ouyang Tong, Cen Changqian, these people.

It is not easy for even the emperor himself to adjust these people, let alone Li Xian.

Mei Niang......

Li Zhi's mind flashed the figure of the martial queen, and then he shook his head slightly.

Empress Wu is the existence of Li Xian's last hole card, once that day is over, Empress Wu will retreat to the deep palace, and it must not appear easily until the last moment.

Then it is necessary to use people to balance the power of the court.

This person......

Li Zhi's mind flashed Li Xuan's figure.

He began to seriously think about the idea of transferring Li Xuan back to Ren Guozi to sacrifice wine, or the book of the Ministry of Rites.

Or when the time comes, add another layer of appointment to him as a young prince......

The Emperor's thoughts gradually became clearer.

……

The carriage shook and slowly headed towards Kaihuafang.

Li Xuan sat in the corner of the carriage, squinting slightly.

Today, he's a little bit more active.

I don't know if the emperor was aware of anything.

Li Hong died of illness, Li Xian was deposed, Li Xian was careful not to touch the "Book of Han", and the emperor seemed to have not seen the vigilance at all.

In other words, he thought that he had the means to be able to hold the Empress Wu hostage.

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, her eyes narrowed slightly, maybe this possibility really exists.

Li Zhi is not an incompetent person, he has a keen enough insight to see the future situation clearly, and then leave behind in advance.

Of course, his backhand will definitely be broken through by the Empress Wu in the future.

But in any case, as long as this backhand exists, then it will be a good thing for Li Xuan.

All that's left is for him to figure out how to get this thing.

But at that time, it will definitely not be too far away.

……

The carriage stopped, and King Peng's mansion had arrived.

The big and small people in the mansion are all preparing for Li Xuan's departure tomorrow.

"Aye, Aye." Xia'er took her younger brother Zhao'er and ran from the front yard and threw herself directly into Li Xuan's arms.

Li Xuan stretched out her hand and hugged a son and a daughter into her arms, and then walked towards the inner courtyard.

Liu Jinyu was beckoning for people to bring a few more pieces of Li Xuan's clothes.

This time Li Xuan returned to Chang'an, it must be at the end of the year, the plateau is cold, and he needs to bring some more clothes.

Koji Douer and Pei Shitong all held the child and entered the courtyard.

and Liu Shubi, although she is pregnant, she is still a little reluctant on Li Xuan's last night in Beijing.

Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh.

He knew that he might not be able to be idle tonight.
