In the south of Chang'an City, the carriage is round.

Liu Jinyu sat in the carriage, looking at the lively and excited people outside the city, and then looked at Li Xuan, who was holding her daughter in the car and teasing her two sons: "Husband, the crown princess gave birth yesterday, and we will leave Beijing today, will it be bad?" ”

"What can be wrong, the husband has already agreed with the prince that he will come back in January as much as possible to participate in the full moon ceremony of the king of Ping'enjun." Li Xuan looked out of the car and said with a smile: "What's more, Your Majesty has issued an order to let Weifu and Uncle Yao enter Shu together, he is about to leave, and Weifu can only follow, besides, it's okay to leave Chang'an now." ”

Liu Jinyu nodded lightly, and when the news came that the prince had a second son, the entire Chang'an immediately fell into a boil.

Because the emperor immediately issued a holy decree to celebrate three days in the city.

It doesn't matter what the people think, what matters is the officials in the court, and they all know that the birth of the prince's second son means that the prince's position will be more stable.

But in the eyes of Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu, they also saw more and more clearly that when the situation was stable, the emperor had already begun to free up his hands to do something.

Since these things have nothing to do with them at the moment, they will naturally stay as far away as possible.

This kind of thing, even if you know more, is very likely to die.

"What is Changshi doing now?" Liu Jinyu asked in a low voice.

"Some accounts are still being sorted out." Li Xuan frowned and said, "It stands to reason that we have sorted out the accounts clearly enough, why is he still doing it?" ”

"Could it be that you found something?" A trace of worry flashed in Liu Jinyu's eyes.

"No, it won't." Li Xuan replied categorically, without the slightest hesitation.

The ledger system he made was itself particularly complex, and this time, he personally participated in this ledger change.

Everything looks clear, but in reality everything is hidden.

If there is really someone who can see the secret in this, then this person is either a mathematical genius who comes out once in a million years, or ......

"Let's go and see, always have to figure out what he's doing, here we are about to enter Shu" Liu Jinyu still has a trace of worry.

Li Xuan nodded, and at this time, Li Zhu's voice outside sounded: "Lord Wang, Yao Thorn Shi has arrived." ”

……

Meridian Town, Meridian Pass.

The soul is lost in the meridian road.

As the sun set, Li Xuan stopped his horse and looked at the Qinling Mountains in the distance, the mountains were thousands of heavy, and the fairy mist was shrouded, which was not like the world.

"Ayer." Xia'er wore a light green plaid pattern short robe, shrunk in Li Xuan's arms, and looked at the mountains in the distance with some fear.

"It's okay, coming back here is the same as going home." Li Xuan smiled, then turned his horse's head and headed towards the convoy that stretched behind.

Five hundred black-armored cavalry escorted Li Xuan, Yao Yi, Li Zhaode, as well as Liu Jinyu, Koji Dou'er, Pei Shitong, Liu Shubi and all the children, to Pengzhou together.

Originally, Li Xuan planned to take her mother back with her, but her mother stayed.

There can't be no one in the Chang'an Palace, and Your Majesty can not mind, but they can't be uninteresting.

In one sentence, all Li Xuan's persuasion was held back.

Li Xuan stopped in front of a carriage, the curtain was lifted, Yao Yi poked his head out, looked at Li Xuan, and asked, "Lord Wang, what's wrong?" ”

"We will rest in Ziwu Town today, and tomorrow we will cross the Meridian Pass and enter the Meridian Valley." Li Xuan smiled a little and said, "Uncle, don't worry, although there are some risks in the Meridian Valley, but the government has been strangling all these years, even if there are bandits in the mountains, they have long been hiding far away." ”

Yao Yi smiled and said, "Even if he is not a bandit, the lower officials believe that the prince can arrange it very properly." ”

"Huh!" Li Xuan bowed his hand, and then left with Xia'er, and the moment he turned around, he couldn't help but glance at the depths of the Qinling Mountains.

The Qinling Mountains span 3,000 li from east to west, 300 li wide in a straight line from north to south, and the entire steep meridian road has 600 li, winding back and forth, extremely steep.

In the entire Qinling Mountains, from ancient times to the present, it has always been a place where thieves are entrenched.

Although the officials and soldiers have to stay away from the official road due to irregular clearance, it is also difficult to completely eliminate them because of the high mountains and dangerous forests.

It's like a bandit.

If someone deliberately contacted all the thieves in the mountains at this time and ambushed Li Xuan, then it would be impossible to say that Li Xuan and the others would hate the mountains.

But it's a pity that the person who passed by here was Li Xuan.

His people had already entered the mountain and began to secretly monitor the various key roads in the mountain, but if there was the slightest movement, it would immediately reach Li Xuan.

This is not Li Xuanyong's self-disturbance, in fact, I don't know how many people in the whole world want to kill him now.

That is, the emperor is still alive now, otherwise, even the mobilization of a large army of officers and soldiers to intercept and kill him will happen.

……

Turning around, Li Xuan continued to walk forward and came to a carriage in the middle.

Li Zhaode lifted the curtain and looked at Li Xuan: "Your Majesty, how is it in the mountains?" ”

"There is no problem for the time being, but we have to see how the situation is at the Meridian Pass." Li Xuan mentioned a little.

If some of them really have problems, then there will inevitably be problems in the meridian pass.

Today, the reason why they want to stop here is because Li Xuan has already sent someone to Ziunguan to investigate.

"That's fine." Li Zhaode breathed a sigh of relief, being cautious and sensitive, which is the characteristic of every such person.

Li Xuan is like this, and so is Li Zhaode.

In the steep mountain road, if you really want to be ambushed, it is enough to say that you have lost your footing and fallen down the plank road afterwards.

"Hasn't Changshi figured out the accounts of the palace yet?" Li Xuan looked into the car with some curiosity.

Li Zhaode's face changed slightly, and then he said lightly: "Actually, it's over, but I want to remember it deeper, what's the matter, the prince has something?" ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded slightly worriedly and said, "This king will leave Chang'an for Fanzhou next year, but Xia'er and Zhao'er are both of the age to go to school, so I don't know if I can ask Changshi for this matter." ”

Li Zhaode suddenly relaxed, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, the prince will come in person for this matter." ”

"So thank you Changshi, when you arrive in Pengzhou, the king personally held a grand apprenticeship banquet, and invited the princes and nobles of Chengdu and the high-ranking officials of the Yizhou Governor's Mansion to come." Li Xuan immediately grabbed the voice.

Li Zhaode was stunned for a moment, and then felt extremely funny, but he still arched his hand and said: "In this way, the lower official will be ashamed." ”

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Then don't bother Changshi, Xia'er and her teacher say goodbye." ”

"Teacher." Xia'er said in a milky voice.

Li Zhaode nodded happily.

"Long history." Li Xuan nodded, then turned around and rode away.

Li Zhaode watched Li Xuan leave with Xia'er, and then lowered the curtain with a calm expression.

……

Exhaling softly, Li Zhaode's expression calmed down completely.

A man sat in a carriage, and the convoy around him began to move on.

Only then did Li Zhaode turn around, wave away the account book of King Peng's Mansion that was placed on the side, and open the dark compartment hidden deep underneath.

In the dark compartment, there is a secret file.

On the name of the secret file, it is written that Xiao Shoudao, the general of the right guard.

opened the secret file, and saw that it was written, Xiao Shoudao, born in the Xiao family of Lanling, his father Ma Duwei, Xiao Rui, the prince of Song, the daughter of the mother of the first emperor, Princess Xiangcheng, and the general of the right guard.

Xiao Rui, Duke of Song, son of Xiao Yu, former Prime Minister of Song Guogong.

"Right Guard, Lieutenant General!" Li Zhaode sighed lightly.

Xiao Shoudao, the general of the right guard, is not only the emperor's nephew, but also Li Xuan's nephew.

Even Li Xuan has a very good relationship with Xiao Shoudao's third brother Xiao Xian.

When Li Xuan first got married, Xiao Xian was still present.

Li Zhaode grabbed the secret file in his hand, he was staring at Xiao Shoudao now, not because of Xiao Shoudao's relationship with the emperor and Li Xuan, but because once Li Xuan left Chang'an, then Xiao Shoudao would take over the use and transfer of all the right guards in Youzhou Luozhou, tens of thousands of elites.

Earlier, Pei Xingjian was the general of the right guard, Gao Zhenxing was the general of the right guard, and Li Xuan was the general of the right guard.

But since Gao Zhenxing was demoted to Chaozhou because he was involved in the rebellion of the abolished prince Li Xian, only Pei Xingjian and Li Xuan were left in the right guard.

And because of the Turkic rebellion and the Tubo rebellion, Pei Xingjian and Li Xuan are both away all the year round, and the right guard general has been vacant.

At this time, the person in charge of handling the affairs of the right guard is Xiao Shoudao, the middle general of the right guard.

Now Li Xuan has been promoted to the general of the Right Guard, but because of his status as a clan, he is only in charge of the overall situation of the Right Guard, and does not involve deeper things.

Of course, this does not mean that Li Xuan does not have control over the Right Guard army near Gyeonggi, in fact, it is quite the opposite.

Li Xuan has been the general of the right guard for many years, and I don't know how many people have been transferred in and out from the right guard inside and out.

These people don't know how many corners of the right guard are scattered, plus Li Xuan has promoted countless people in the right guard over the years, plus his official position as the general of the right guard, what do you really want to do, as long as it is within the court system, no one will object.

But Xiao Shoudao must not be ignored because of this, especially after Li Xuan left.

Li Zhaode looked at the densely written notebook in his hand, and his expression couldn't help but become solemn.

Once Li Xuan left Beijing and went to Fanzhou, there were only two people who could mobilize the right guard at a critical moment.

One person is Li Zhaode, and the other person is Xiao Shoudao, so ......

"Stomp, stomp!" The sound of hurried horses' hooves interrupted Li Zhaode's thoughts, and in an instant, he put the secret file into his arms, and then lifted the curtain.

……

Li Xuan put Xia'er back into Liu Jinyu's carriage, and then took the official letter sent by Qian Niuwei.

Just by taking a look, Li Xuan's expression suddenly turned cold.

Turning around, Li Xuan handed the official document to Li Zhu and said, "Hand the news to Changshi and Yao Yuanjun." ”

"Whoa!" Li Zhu immediately received the order, and then rode towards Li Zhaode and Yao Yi. ，

Yao Yi is fine, but Li Zhaode is like Li Xuan, his expression is awe-inspiring.

Turning over and dismounting, Li Xuan had just entered the carriage, and Liu Jinyu couldn't help but ask, "What happened?" ”

"Alas!" Li Xuan sighed, then sat down in the carriage, then shook his head lightly and said: "The queen of heaven is on the table, please forgive the sins of King Qi Shangjin and King Xu Sujie; With King Qi as the history of the assassination of the state, and King Xu as the history of the assassin of Yuezhou, he still did not listen to the imperial set. ”

Liu Jinyu frowned and said, "This is the impact of King Cao's affairs, afraid that King Qi and King Xu will also die at the hands of local officials?" ”

Li Xuan nodded and said: "A while ago, when King Cao just died, there were many rumors in Luoyang, Chang'an, and they all said that King Cao died in the hands of the Queen of Heaven. ”

Liu Jinyu suddenly thought of something, and said in a low voice: "In order to let the abolished prince out of the palace." ”

Li Xuan's face became a little sad, he only sent the message yesterday, and today, the feedback came.
