Above the Weishui, the official ship moved forward with the wind.

Li Xuan, dressed in a purple python robe, stood at the bow of the ship, looking at Chang'an from afar.

Wang Dezhen walked up from behind at this time, walked to Li Xuan's side, and arched his hand and said: "I haven't congratulated my nephew yet, I am afraid that I will be promoted to the heir of the king this time." ”

"Congratulations to my uncle, too." Li Xuan turned around slightly and arched his hand to Wang Dezhen: "News from the DPRK, Zhao Xiang has already submitted a chapter to the court, and after my uncle returns to the court, I can't say that I will go to the court to pay homage to the prime minister immediately." ”

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he looked up and Wang Dezhen looked at each other, and the next moment, the two couldn't help laughing at the same time.

After a while, Wang Dezhen restrained his smile, shook his head and said: "It's easy to say, but it's not so easy, Zhao Xiangzhishi and Cui Xiangzhi are serving in the middle of the waiter, vacating a position for the Yellow Gate Squire, but there are also many people competing for this position." ”

Li Xuan looked surprised, didn't he say that this matter was already a certainty?

"Wei Yuan was transferred to the Fenzhou Assassin History, and Wei Siqian was promoted to Zongzheng Siqing, but in addition to these two people, there are also Wei Zhigu, Liu Jingxian and Guo Beiju, who are also keeping an eye on the position of prime minister, and before the holy decree is issued, any change can happen." Wang Dezhen looked solemn.

Wei Yuan was a waiter in the Criminal Department before, because of Wu Chenghei, Liu Boying succeeded him as the secretary of the Criminal Department, Wu Chengsi became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Wei Yuan was transferred to Fenzhou Assassin History.

Wei Siqian was the right Shilang before, and the transfer to Zongzheng Siqing was more for the sake of his Wei family's background.

Back then, Pei Guangxiao served as Zongzheng Siqing because the Pei family daughter was Li Hong's crown princess.

Now that the daughter of the Wei family is the crown princess, it is also reasonable for the Wei family to be the secretary of Zongzheng Temple.

Anyway, the position of Zongzheng Siqing will not be given to the clan surnamed Li.

As for Wei Zhigu, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, Liu Jingxian, the left Cheng of Shangshu, and Guo Zhiju, the right of Shangshu, are not simple characters.

If you can't say it, these guys will be the same in the future.

However, it depends on whether it is a direct service in the middle of the book order, or the difference between doing the three products under the same Chinese book.

"My Datang, after all, is to put military merit first, my uncle has been in the army for so long, my uncle is the prime minister, and all the people in the road are naturally happy about it, if it is someone else, if you want to be in front of your uncle, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." Li Xuan's attitude was clearly stated in one sentence.

Wang Dezhen smiled slightly, then turned to look in the direction of Chang'an, and then said softly: "Although most of what the virtuous nephew said is true, there are also small and half mistakes, don't forget the virtuous nephew, and the matter of Wenxi County Gong before, the virtuous nephew should be careful." ”

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, be careful, why is he careful, shouldn't Wang Dezhen be careful?

Li Xuan just waited until he returned to Chang'an, and the emperor named him the heir of King Peng, so there won't be any twists and turns in this matter, right?

Or is he going to be in charge of the Tao next?

It shouldn't be, except for him, there are few people in the entire Datang who can suppress the next situation of Luo, and even if there is, people will not be willing to go to Luoxia to take up a post.

For example, Xue Rengui, as well as other prime ministers of the DPRK and China, even Wei Zhigu, Liu Jingxian and Guo Beiju, are not willing to go to the troubled waters of Tibet......

"Xuan understands a little, thank you uncle for reminding me." Li Xuan vaguely seemed to have captured some information.

Wang Dezhen smiled faintly and said: "Even Your Majesty, sometimes, it is very difficult, but few people can understand Your Majesty's ......."

Before Wang Dezhen's words were finished, on the bank of the river in front of him, more than a dozen fast horses had already arrived quickly.

That's a group of Qianniuwei.

Soon, Qian Niuwei had already sent the urgent official document to Li Xuan.

Just by glancing at it, Li Xuan's brows furrowed stiffly, what was going on?

"What's wrong?" Wang Dezhen subconsciously asked.

Li Xuan handed over the official document and said at the same time: "Xie You, the governor of Qianzhou, is dead. ”

"Ahh Wang Dezhen glanced at Li Xuan in surprise, and then quickly lowered his head to look at the official document.

The first thing that was announced in the official document was the emperor's disposition of the death of Li Ming, the king of Cao.

Li Ming died, and the Qianzhou Governor's Mansion, and everyone in the Qianzhou Assassin's Mansion were dismissed.

Xie You, the assassin of Qianzhou, wasted the opportunity of heaven, hurriedly dismissed all his lords and officials, and was escorted back to Beijing by Dali Temple, and the three law divisions were punished.

That night, Xie You committed suicide.

"This!" Wang Dezhen looked up in disbelief for a while, looked at Li Xuan, and said, "This may not be too ......."

"That's the explanation." Li Xuan waved his hand to stop Wang Dezhen from continuing.

Li Ming was forced to commit suicide, and Xie You was also forced to commit suicide.

Karma before and after, although there are still suspicions in people's hearts, but for the clan, it is already an explanation.

Li Xuan looked at Wang Dezhen seriously and said, "This matter is over, don't mention it again, in addition, please ask my uncle to send orders to the generals."

After returning to Beijing this time, even if His Majesty is rewarded, he must keep a low profile, and now we are being stared at up and down by the people of Yushitai.

If someone breaks the law, he can only walk according to it.

Although there is talk of merit in the court, they are willing to use the military merits of life and death to resist, and the king will not say anything. ”

"Good!" Wang Dezhen nodded, and then said: "This official document will also be sent." ”

"Yes!" Li Xuan took a step back and said to Wang Dezhen again: "Thank you uncle for your advice." ”

"The prince is polite." Wang Dezhen nodded slightly.

"Chang'an is so approaching, Xuan needs to go back to change clothes, and the rest will trouble my uncle." Li Xuan gave up his hand again, then turned around and went back to the cabin.

Looking at the back of Li Xuan leaving, Wang Dezhen couldn't help but sigh lightly.

……

One by one the battle armor was draped on his body, dressed in red and gold armor, Li Xuan stood in the cabin, looking majestic.

It's not the black clothes and black armor he wears most often, that suit of armor is too severe, and now that he has returned to Beijing, it is better to wear the armor of the right guard general.

"Let's all go out, this king will stay alone." Li Xuan waved his hand slightly, and everyone else, including Li Zhu, retreated.

After walking to the table, Li Xuan sat down calmly.

In front of him was an empty cabin, and outside the open window, there were fields on both sides of the river, and countless cavalry.

Retracting his gaze, Li Xuan couldn't help but become solemn.

The root of the death of Li Ming, the king of Cao, is still in the emperor.

The emperor first deposed Li Ming as a concubine, and then hinted at Xie You, but Xie You did things too roughly, and forced Li Ming to death without any reason.

The matter was so embarrassing, the emperor naturally didn't think anything good about Xie You, and even sent him to Chang'an, and the three law divisions were punished.

This kind of thing, the emperor naturally will not leave any hands and feet, and even this matter is likely to be operated by the Empress Wu from beginning to end.

In other words, if this matter is really leaked out, it will only be the Empress Wu who will be involved.

Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh lightly, the emperor's method easily made Empress Wu send Xie You to a dead end.

This is the end of the matter of Cao Wang Li Ming, Li Xuan will not say anything more, and no one in the sect will say anything more.

But this matter did not end here, because this matter also involved another person, the abolished prince Li Xian.

King Cao was demoted to the king of Lingling County, which was because he was involved in Li Xian's rebellion.

Now he has been abolished as a concubine, also because of the Changzhou rebellion case.

So does the abolished prince Li Xian, with King Cao, and Changzhou rebel case, have anything to do with it?

This question is too sensitive, so sensitive that no one dares to mention it.

……

Li Xuan raised his head and looked out the window, there was still no shadow of Chang'an at the end of the field, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel relieved.

He couldn't remember exactly when Li Xian died.

Was it before Li Zhi's death, or after Li Zhi's death?

Was it before Li Xian was deposed, or after Li Xian was deposed.

If it is said that he died before Li Zhi's death, then it means that Li Xian is really involved in something, so the person who really wants him to die is Li Zhi.

However, this is unlikely, with Li Zhi's control of Li Xian, after the matter of King Cao, how can Li Xian be allowed to contact anything again.

So it is likely that after Li Zhi's death, Empress Wu or Li Xian moved his hand on Li Xian.

It is normal for Empress Wu to do something to Li Xian, because even if Li Zhi is still alive, if Li Zhi wants to kill Li Xian, he will only use Empress Wu's knife.

Li Xian made a move on Li Xian, I am afraid that he was suspicious after becoming the emperor.

People's hearts, even Li Xuan has no way to change Li Xian's mind in the future.

Once you become an emperor, anyone will have their own independent ideas......

Gently knocking on the table, Li Xuan retracted his thoughts, those are all things after Li Xian ascended the throne, what Li Xuan needs to do now is to enhance his own strength, enhance Li Xian's strength, and use it to fight the threat of the Empress Wu.

Li Xuan raised his head and looked at himself in the bronze mirror opposite, he knew in his heart that he was about to succeed King Peng, and at the same time he was appointed as the governor of Fanzhou, plus the general of the right guard of the inspection school, the power he could grasp on the face had reached the limit, even if he returned to the court in the future to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, it would not be as good as at this time.

Therefore, in the official position, he will not have more pursuits, and he even has to be careful not to be targeted by others.

That's what Wang Dezhen reminded just now.

As for the rest, it should be to make progress in the literary world, and book revision is the best means.

Li Xuan's face smiled bitterly, the "Book of Han" still can't be moved, at least Li Zhi can't move when he is alive, as for whether Li Xian will repair it after he ascends the throne, it depends on Li Xian's attitude.

Then you have to find a way to fix other books......

In the court, Pei Yan and Wang Dezhen were prime ministers one after another, and the East Palace naturally had to keep a distance from the prime minister on the surface, but in private......

Pei Yan, do you want to get closer to Pei Yan?

Li Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, Pei Yan would join forces with Empress Wu in the future and abolish Li Xian.

If Pei Yan is pulled into Li Xian's camp, then it is inevitable to create checks and balances on Empress Wu, but in the end, will it directly overwhelm Empress Wu and let Li Xian completely sit in the position of emperor.

If this is really the case, Li Xuan may only be a loyal minister for the rest of his life.

Li Xuan immediately smiled and couldn't help but shake his head.

Even he has not figured out how many hole cards the Empress Wu has in the court, and how he can win.

Not to mention that Pei Yan's ambition is not weak, otherwise it would be impossible to take the initiative to promote the abolition of the emperor in the original history.

Li Xian and Pei Yan will have a dirty relationship in the future, and even if the two of them cooperate again, they will inevitably be defeated by the Empress Wu in the end.

Therefore, before Li Zhi died, Li Xuan wanted to try his best to promote the union of the two to fight against the Empress Wu.

Li Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he whispered to himself: "Your Majesty, the minister must let the prince sit firmly in the world." ”

……

The magnificent Chang'an City reappeared in view.

Li Xuan, dressed in red and gold armor, stood at the bow of the ship, and the other Wang Dezhen, Yang Zhirou, Heizhi Changzhi, Sun Renshi, Shi Xuan, Boren Zanjian, Gong Ren, Tang Zhenxing, Qiu Zhenmu, Li Duozuo, Nan Ju, Cui Ding, Zhou Qian, Yan Tao and others, all wearing armor and official clothes, all walked out of the cabin.

Everyone's face was filled with irrepressible excitement and excitement.

Each of them will be rewarded by the imperial court when they return to Kyoto this time, and it will be a great reward.

The work of destroying the country is not easy.

Especially those who have not returned to Chang'an Dao for several years on the front line, their expressions are even more excited.

Ahead, on the shore of Weishui, a bright yellow cover appeared in front of everyone.

The generals couldn't help but be stunned in their hearts, could it be that His Majesty greeted him personally?

But immediately, everyone saw the crown prince Li Xian, who was wearing a four-clawed python robe and a nine-clawed crown on his head.

Behind Li Xian, there were also dense court ministers.

The prince greeted him in person, and hundreds of officials were waiting.

The king of Nanchang returned to Beijing.

"Old Tang Book": Qianzhou "Governor Xie Youxi decreed, coerced and ordered suicide".

"New Tang Dynasty Book": Qianzhou "Governor Xie You forced to kill".

"Zizhi Tongjian" Tang Ji 19 years: Gaozong Yongchun first year Renwu, 682 AD (autumn and July) Qianzhou Governor Xie You, Xi Tianhou will, forced the Lingling King to commit suicide, the government of Qianfu was dismissed.

After Youhou slept in the Ping Pavilion, coexisted with more than ten concubines, and lost his head at night.

In the vertical arch, Mingzi Lingling Wang Jun and Li Guogongjie were killed by the queen of heaven.

There is a division of his family, the head of the blessing, the paint is filthy, and the inscription cloud is "thank you".

The book is a year ahead of schedule here.

In the second year of Yongchun (683), Li Xian, a Shuren, was exiled to Bazhou.
