On the Weishui in winter, there are densely packed eastbound big ships.

Flags are unfurled, and guns are everywhere.

On both sides of the shore, there were countless cavalry galloping back and forth.

Wild birds flew in fright and did not land for a long time.

Inside the second big boat, Li Xuan sat calmly on the short couch, with an empty book in front of him.

The thin bamboo brush was placed on one side, waiting for him to write something.

The cabin is not big, even if Li Xuan is the heir, it is only a square inch of space.

The entire fleet, the front ship, was where the crown prince Li Xian was, and the crown princess and other ministers of the Eastern Palace were on it.

The second ship is where the prime ministers and the six books are located.

and Li Xuan herself.

So right now, it's the best chance for those people.

Li Xuan believed in himself, as long as Li Xian ascended the throne, he himself would immediately wake up to the danger of Empress Wu, after all, at that time, their enemies were only each other.

Pei Yan was very close to the North Gate Bachelor in the early years, and in the original history, it was his peace with the Empress Wu that gave the Empress Wu the opportunity to really intervene in the court.

In fact, last night's Ouyang family's advice was summed up here by Li Xuan, just one sentence.

Li Xuan didn't know how many people secretly wanted to take advantage of the emperor's serious illness, dazedness, and suspicion to try to depose the crown prince, but these people can only be disappointed so far.

Li Xian now has an heir, and even the emperor's grandson, so even if something happens to Li Xian, the one who will ascend the throne later should be Li Xian's son.

Looking at the blank paper in front of him, Li Xuan was thinking back to what his mother Ouyang said to him last night.

In the history books, similar things emerge endlessly, and even if you become an emperor, you may be deposed.

Li Xian's opponents are not only Empress Wu, but also those who have invested heavily in Li Dan.

The prince of the dynasty was on the third ship.

In today's situation, Li Zhi is still in power, as long as Li Zhi dies, the last trace of power to protect Li Xuan will disappear.

If Empress Wu really wanted to kill him, it was enough to summon him into the palace alone, and then close the palace gate.

Fortunately, Ouyang reminded him in time.

According to the court system, the prime minister governs the country for the royal family, and the clan must take a step back from the prime minister in all matters.

Black teeth are often the same, Cheng Wuting, aren't they all dead like this?

Maybe someone is already planning to kill Li Xian before Li Xian ascends the throne.

Therefore, it is necessary to take action against Pei Yan.

Otherwise, it would be a little late to wait until Li Xian ascended the throne before reacting.

Li Xuan's expression calmed down, now that the emperor is not dead, what the Empress Wu wants to ensure is that Li Xian will ascend the throne smoothly, but once the emperor is dead, the Empress Wu may immediately kill Li Xuan, and the danger is something that Li Xuan almost ignored before.

A general of the Praetorian Guard, a general of the Left Guard, is definitely not to be underestimated.

Li Xuan was also supposed to be on the third ship, but because of his special status, he was arranged to the front.

There are not a few Tang clans.

Because half of the prime minister's monks were in Luoyang, the Jiusi Siqing in Chang'an was also arranged on this ship.

In addition, there are Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui.

Even this year, when the emperor's body was getting heavier and heavier, and his mind was becoming more and more suspicious, under Li Xuan's means, Li Xian showed all the contacts between the East Palace and the foreign ministers under the emperor's eyes, and the emperor's suspicion of Li Xian was almost none.

Fortunately, on the boat behind, the prince can still have a cabin for one person, and the heir and the prince have to squeeze one room for two.

With Pei Yan as the starting point, Xue Yuanchao, Wang Dezhen, Cui Zhiwen, and even Liu Renliang were all lined up one by one.

But now, if Li Xuan can wake up a long time in advance and have a long time to prepare, then the situation will be much easier.

Empress Wu, Li Dan, Li Xian, Cheng Wuting, Pei Yan.

Li Xuan was also arranged on this ship by luck.

Beware of those who flip the table.

No matter what the country and society, no matter what the world is stable, only the dead are the best enemies.

Of course, after the crown prince ascended the throne, Li Xuan had already prepared, but he almost forgot that it was possible before.

If the Empress Wu doesn't do anything to Li Xuan, Li Xuan will also think about how to calculate the Empress Wu.

Pei Yan, thinking of this, Li Xuan's expression turned cold.

Over the years, with the assistance of Li Xuan, Li Xian's position has become more and more stable.

This was not the case with Xuanwumen back then.

Li Xuan originally thought that Li Xian's position as the crown prince could already sit back and relax, but he forgot that there were still people who had the power to lift the table.

After killing Li Xian, only Li Dan remains.

Although Li Xuan didn't think that he had tens of thousands of troops in his hands, he was still a pacification envoy in the border states, and there was a war in the Western Regions, so he could really sit back and relax, but he really didn't expect that the Empress Wu would want to kill him at this time.

Xue Rengui was a close confidant of the emperor and Empress Wu, while Pei Xingjian was the general of the Praetorian Guard.

Pei Xingjian needs to be asked to intervene more forces in the palace.

In this way, it is necessary to provoke the fight between Pei Yan and Pei Xingjian again.

A chess piece is needed.

Li Xuan's mind flashed one name after another, one side of the force, and finally, his gaze fell on Wei's body.

Suddenly, Li Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, he actually embarked on the same path as Li Xian.

After all, in this court, only the Wei family is the one who really supports Li Xian, and there is no room for maneuver.

In addition, there are three families in the world and Zheng Cuilu.

At present, Li Xuan is entangled with the three families, and may be able to use the strength of the other party.

But how to "help"?

……

"Bang bang bang!" There was a knock on the cabin door, and then a voice sounded: "Lord Wang, Prime Minister Zuo invites Lord Wang Ye over." ”

"Got it." Sitting behind the table, Li Xuan raised his head, and a glimmer of light had flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Packing up his things, getting up, and sorting out his clothes, Li Xuan stepped out of the hatch.

On the left side of the hatch, Xu Xiao, the left division's foreign officer, solemnly bowed his hand: "Lord Wang!" ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded calmly and said, "Lead the way ahead." ”

"Whoa!" Xu Xiao led Li Xuan towards the front, until he came to the outside of Liu Renliang's cabin.

Then the hatch opened, and Xu Xiao retreated.

……

Li Xuan took a step forward, entered the cabin, and looked at Cui Zhiwen sitting behind the low table, Li Xuan did not have the slightest surprised look, and arched his hand: "Cui Xiang." ”

Cui Zhiwen was a little surprised, because he wanted to talk to Li Xuan, it was a decision he had just made, and he had only talked to Liu Renliang, and the other Xu Xiao and others didn't know at all.

"King Peng, please take a seat." Cui Zhiwen bowed slightly, looking at Li Xuan deeply.

Li Xuan smiled calmly, and then sat down on the opposite side of the low couch.

Seeing the teapot on the table, Li Xuan looked up at Cui Zhiwen, Cui Zhiwen nodded and said, "Lord Wang, please!" ”

Li Xuan bowed slightly, poured out a cup from the teacup, then held it with both hands and put it in front of Cui Zhiwen, and then poured himself a cup.

Place your hands down on your knees.

Looking at Li Xuan's respectful posture, Cui Zhiwen couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart.

King Peng's biggest advantage is that he rarely claims to be the prince of the clan.

Therefore, if Lu Yuanfang, Di Renjie, Yao Chong and others can mingle, it is Su Liangsi, Yang Zhirou and Li Zhaode all praise him.

It is not difficult to understand that the prince is so trusted and favored by the emperor.

After a little bit of thoughts, Cui Zhiwen looked up at Li Xuan, and said gently but firmly: "Last night in Chang'an City, Wannian County hunted and killed more than 100 thieves and rescued hundreds of robbed children and girls, this matter is over, how about it?" ”

Li Xuan looked at Cui Zhiwen with a surprised expression, last night's incident, it was obviously Jin Wuwei, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, Yongzhou Mansion and Wannian County acting together, how did it reach the ears of Cui Zhiwen, the prime minister, today, everything became Cui Ming's credit.

Not to mention that the right guard is becoming the real key leaders of the siege, all of them have been erased by Cui Zhiwen, as if these people do not exist.

Even last night, everything was secretly pushed by Li Xuan, and the county lieutenant Cui appeared too late and didn't play any role at all.

Now, Cui Zhiwen has put all the credit, Jin Wuwei, Youwei, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, Yongzhou Mansion and other people in Wannian County, all the credit on Cui Ming, who has only shown his face.

Of course, these are just the usual operations of the family, and these are not Li Xuan's business, but ......

Li Xuan looked at the teacup in front of him, pushed it forward gently, then looked at Cui Zhiwen and said, "Cui Xiang, the purpose of what we wait for each other has never been. ”

Cui Zhiwen was slightly silent, nodded and said: "After all, this matter was done inappropriately by Cui Ming, so in the future, King Peng will not be hindered in any way when he acts in Wannian County." ”

Cui Zhiwen's words were very vague, in fact, everyone was just that night, the night at a critical time.

As long as it's one night, it's okay to be unhindered.

Li Xuan nodded calmly and said: "Cui Xiang's assurance, Xuan still believes it, but that Cui County Lieutenant, his heart doesn't seem to be so broad-minded, the Cui family has countless talents, how about changing people?" ”

Cui Zhiwen's brows suddenly furrowed tightly, Li Xuan's words can be regarded as agreeing to the Cui family's request for peace, but he did not agree to let Cui Ming go.

Cui Zhiwen thought back to Cui Ming in his mind, although Cui Ming he didn't see much, but he always gave him the appearance of a gentle and elegant young man, if it wasn't for this incident in Chang'an, Cui Zhiwen would not have seen his shortcomings.

As for his narrow-mindedness, although Cui Zhiwen didn't see it in person, Li Xuan still didn't want Cui Ming after agreeing to the Cui family to continue to stay in Wannian County, and Cui Zhiwen knew that Li Xuan's vision was not bad.

"Cui Ming was transferred to the lieutenant of Taiyuan County, Wannian County Order, and Wannian County Cheng were all replaced." Cui Zhiwen looked up at Li Xuan.

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded lightly and agreed with this approach.

"And the prince's side?" Cui Zhiwen leaned forward slightly, Li Xuan was just Li Xuan, but behind him was the crown prince.

Li Xuan was silent, then looked up at Cui Zhiwen and said: "In this matter, Xuan will try her best to persuade the prince, but there are some things, the Cui family is feasible, the Lu family is also feasible, but the Zheng family is not." ”

Cui Zhiwen's eyes couldn't help but stare at him.

Li Xuan's words mean that the East Palace can reach a tacit understanding with the Cui family and the Lu family, but it does not include the Zheng family.

Cui Zhiwen sighed lightly in his heart, he knew that it was still Zheng Guanyin's matter.

In the Xuanwu Gate Change, although Zheng Rentai stood on the side of the Qin Wangfu and made great contributions in the Xuanwu Gate, the entire Zheng family invested heavily in Li Jiancheng.

Therefore, at that time, although Zheng Rentai established the Zheng family's court, the entire Zheng family was going downhill.

This is especially true after Jung In-tae's death.

Zheng Guanyin's matter, the first emperor did not forget, the emperor did not forget, and now even the crown prince has not forgotten.

"The three families of Cui Lu and Zheng, although it is not enough to say that they advance and retreat together, they are all Hedong families, and the Zheng family's heart of service is also sincere, and the matter should be forgotten after many years." Cui Zhiwen raised his head and looked at Li Xuan with a slight pleading.

Five surnames and seven families, since the Taiyuan Wang family fell silent, the Li family of Zhaojun and the royal family approached, and the three families of Cui Lu and Zheng survived together.

Now Cui Zhiwen is the prime minister at any time, and Cui Zhiyi is the head of the household, but behind them, it is the full support of the entire Cui Lu and Zheng families.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Since Cui Xiang said so, Xuan has nothing to suspect, but for the sake of safety, according to this king, whether the Zheng family is considering marrying a daughter into the East Palace, in this way, they are bound to each other, and you and I will enter together." ”

The Zheng family married their daughter into the East Palace, Cui Zhiwen looked at Li Xuan in surprise, what does this mean?

Aren't you afraid that the power of the family will intervene in the court?

Looking at Li Xuan, who lowered his eyebrows, Cui Zhiwen said cautiously: "Cui needs to talk about this matter with the Zheng family, but if it's okay, then what else does the prince want?" ”
