On a winter afternoon, the Qianyang Hall of Luoyang Ziwei Palace.

Empress Wu put a piece of music on the table, looked at the content on it, frowned slightly, and looked up to the side: "Wan'er, where is the prince?" ”

"Returning to the Queen." Shangguan Wan'er walked up from the rear, and then arched her hand and said: "The prince has passed Xinnan County, and in two hours, he will arrive in Luoyang." ”

Empress Wu breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded, and said: "This palace remembers that the prince once asked for a performance, and after arriving in Luoyang, he greeted the palace and the emperor, and at the same time reported the events of this year?" ”

"Yes!" Shangguan Wan'er bowed slightly, and said cautiously: "The chapter was written by the prince, but it was sent through the political hall. ”

"He wants to see His Majesty, and all the officials in the court also want to see His Majesty." Empress Wu sighed lightly and said sideways: "Fan Yunxian." ”

"The slave is here." Fan Yunxian, the deputy supervisor of the inner chamberlain, stood up respectfully.

……

Li Xuan looked at Li Xian seriously and said, "Your Highness, do you think that if Your Majesty's current power and tactics are used to deal with the things of the past, will everything be so tragic?" ”

Li Xuan smiled and arched his hand: "This marriage is not in a hurry, and the affairs of the Zheng family may not be successful, so as long as it is not decided, then everything else is a rumor." ”

The Lu family is the same, the Lu family is not deep in the DPRK, but they are very close to the Cui family.

"Let's talk about the center now." Li Xuan glanced at the ships in the rear, then looked at Li Xian and said, "If Pei Xiang is transferred to Shangshu Province, then how will Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province treat Pei Xiang?" ”

Li Xian was wearing a black cloak and standing at the bow of the ship, and everyone had retreated, only Li Xuan was standing beside Li Xian.

Li Xuan wanted Pei Yan to be the eldest grandson of the dynasty.

But they didn't do that, it was tantamount to telling the emperor that they thought that the emperor would not have problems in Luoyang this time, so they would fight each other in Chang'an, but in fact, this was just a scene where the two sides had a tacit understanding at the top of the city.

Li Xian's face slowly sank, and he nodded and said, "Yes, the Zheng family may not agree to this matter." ”

"Let's take a look first, and make more preparations." Li Xuan looked at Li Xian with a solemn expression.

Li Xian's eyes straightened, and he looked at Li Xuan in disbelief: "Uncle Wang, are you crazy, Shangshu Zuo servant shot, concubine blood relative, Uncle Wang, that's not Liu Zheng, that's Zhao Guogong." ”

"Pei family." Li Xuan stared at Li Xian and said seriously: "It's Xima Pei." ”

The Zheng family is the same, if the Zheng family and Li Xian marry, then the Zheng children of that branch will stand behind Li Xian.

Li Xuan's words directly questioned the emperor's treatment of the eldest grandson Wuji.

But in fact, what they should really compete for is Henan and Luoyang counties.

"Huh!" Li Xian smiled, nodded and said, "What Uncle Wang said is very true, so whose family is it this time?" ”

Li Xian nodded slowly and said with emotion: "This is indeed stronger than what happened back then...... No, and the queen mother? ”

In Menxia Province, Cui Zhiwen just promised to support Li Xian, and as for Wang Dezhen, he was the emperor's person.

This Zhao Guogong is not Li Jingxuan, but the eldest grandson Wuji.

Once the marriage is equivalent to two families being a descendant, they are completely deeply united.

"Looking at the Chang'an newspaper alone, a few children of the Du family were arrested." Li Xian looked sideways at Li Xuan and asked, "So, the matter of the Cui family is over?" ”

But if it's not right to just say it's a play, they are actually testing each other and measuring each other.

But there are key elements in this, which were deliberately concealed by the high-level leaders of Li Xuan and Cui Lu Zheng.

"I have a subordinate and a Chinese book in hand, and then drive out the people close to Pei Xiang from the court among the six books." Li Xuan's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness, and he said softly: "Pei Xiang has a tough personality and is easy to offend people, so he will let him do many tricky things, such as cleaning up the hidden fields and reducing officials. ”

"Wash the horse ......" Li Xian just said two words, and the words were suppressed by himself, and the people around heard the movement and subconsciously looked over.

In the future, Li Hong will be unlucky, then the entire Dongjun Pei will be unlucky.

"Speaking of marriage, the minister also has a marriage that I want to recommend to His Highness." Li Xuan turned around and looked at Li Xian solemnly.

The crown princess Wei has a tough personality, the crown princess Gao is okay, she is gentle by nature, not good at fighting, and the two get along kindly, but at the beginning of the year, the prince accepted the daughter of the Yang family as the crown princess.

"But that's also Pei Xiang's niece, Uncle Wang, do you know who the last prime minister with blood relatives in the harem was, it's Liu Zheng of the Liu family, he is the uncle of the python family." Li Xian's face had completely cooled, and Li Xuan's move was indeed not very clever.

So their battle in Chang'an doesn't matter at all.

……

The women of the Yang family are not soft, and they often choke on a few words with the crown princess and fight a few times.

If he regrets it in the future, then the Zheng disciples of this branch will not have a bright future in the future.

……

It is not very much what people think, you can break the covenant today and stab you in the back tomorrow.

Li Xian nodded lightly, then breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "So the matter of Chang'an is settled." ”

"Whoa!" Fan Yunxian immediately bowed down and agreed.

"Marriage." Li Xian was a little amused, glanced at Li Xuan, and said, "Gu Du doesn't know whether to agree or not, but the Zheng family is picky." ”

Li Xuan looked at Li Xian and said seriously: "Your Highness should know that Li Jinxing, the general of the right leading army of the guard, is not in good health, and after sealing the Zen, he will seek Zhishi, so after that, who will take over as the general of the right leading army Wei, and who will take over as the governor of Changzhou?" ”

That is, in their eyes, the emperor will not die of illness in Chang'an, but in Luoyang.

In addition, the Yang family itself was put into the East Palace by the Empress Wu to separate the prince and the Wei family, and many people in the East Palace are helping the Yang family openly and secretly, and they are on a par with the Wei family.

Empress Wu nodded and said, "After the prince arrives at Duanmen, let him go to see Your Majesty; In addition, King Peng was asked to come to the palace, and as for the other ministers, they would be properly arranged together inside and outside. ”

Above the Luo River, the wind is cold.

Of course, this does not include the Zheng family.

"The minister proposed to let the Zheng family marry a daughter into the East Palace, but Cui Xiang couldn't be the head of the Zheng family, so he needed to ask the Zheng family." Li Xuan's eyes became solemn.

made the emperor think that they didn't think that the emperor's body would have an accident in Luoyang this time, but in Chang'an a few years later.

That's why the county lieutenant of Wannian, who controls half of Chang'an's security, is so contested.

Although there is also Cui Mi, a master of the imperial history, who is close to Empress Wu, in fact, he is only a minority in the speculation of the family, just like Zheng Rentai is to the Zheng family.

Li Xuan smiled, and then said: "The minister not only wants His Highness to marry Pei Xiang's niece, but also wants His Highness to recommend Pei Xiang to be the left servant of Shangshu." ”

"Your Highness, when it comes to taboo matters, the minister feels that His Majesty was still a little hasty in dealing with Zhao Guogong." Li Xuan said a word, and Li Xian was stunned.

Zhongshu Province, Xue Yuanchao and Li Yiyan can't go together with Pei Yan.

This is the emperor himself thinks that the treatment of the eldest grandson Wuji back then was a mistake.

Li Xian wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't, because in the first year of Shangyuan, the emperor had already rehabilitated the eldest grandson Wuji.

"That's right." Li Xuan nodded and said, "But Pei Yan is not the only one who washes the horse Pei, there are also more than a dozen rooms, and the concubines who take a few rooms are the concubines." ”

Li Xian gritted his teeth and looked at Li Xuan: "Uncle Wang, wash Ma Pei, Pei Xiang is from washing Ma Pei?" ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan turned to look in the direction of Luoyang, and then said softly: "Cui Ming's matter is not important in itself, the important thing is that His Royal Highness and Cui Lu and Zheng have reached a tacit understanding and act in concert in Luoyang." ”

Li Xian was slightly stunned, and looked at Li Xuan helplessly: "Uncle Wang, I know that you are good to Gu, but this successive marriages are Gu's promise, and the crown princess does not agree." ”

The results have come out, and the last to take a step back is Cui Lu and Zheng Sanjia.

Li Xuan, Donggong, and Cui Lu and Zheng fought in Chang'an, seemingly for the future, once an incident occurs, all accidents will be eliminated.

recovered his official title and was buried in Zhaoling.

Now there is a Zheng family to be added.

Cheng Wuting, the general of the forbidden army, is Pei Yan's descendant, and the Empress Wu also trusts him, if he can be transferred out of Chang'an, then Pei Yan's threat to Li Xian will plummet.

"Your Highness also knows that the Zheng family may not agree, so there is no need to worry about anything in advance." Li Xuan relieved Li Xian a little.

"Uncle Wang is in Wenxi County and Zhao Guogong." Li Xian's eyes rolled slightly, he already somewhat understood what Li Xuan said.

"Didn't you say yes, it's the Duke of Fuyang, the general of the Black Tooth Changzhi?" Li Xian's face was dazed, he didn't know what Li Xuan meant by this.

The affairs of the Cui family are mainly based on Cui Zhiwen and Cui Zhiyi.

This is why there is a peace negotiation between Li Xuan and Cui Zhiwen on the Wei River.

Of course, it does not involve Xijun Pei and Xima Pei.

For example, the marriage between Li Hong and the Pei family, Li Hong and the Pei family, can make the Pei family in Hedong and the entire Pei family in the east all stand behind Li Hong.

Speaking of details, I also want to call Li Xian a cousin.

Measure each other's strength, and who will take a step back in the end.

Although Wei is the crown princess, Yang has some blood relationship with the queen.

Empress Wu raised her head, looked outside the Qianyang Palace, and said softly: "The wax moon has arrived, the New Year is coming, and Songshan is about to seal Zen." ”

"Your Highness, marriage is the most labor-saving method after all, if you can make the world stable, Your Highness will be wronged." Li Xuan persuaded in a low voice.

Li Xian couldn't help but shudder, this hand was too ruthless.

Li Xian nodded silently, and after a while, he finally came back to his senses and asked, "What about the Zheng family?" ”

They were just making a show, and at the same time they were just doing it for the emperor to see.

Li Xian was stunned, his eyes moved slightly, and excitement gradually flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"It seems that Uncle Wang also knows that the East Palace is restless." Li Xian smiled a little self-deprecatingly.

Zhao Guogong, the emperor's uncle, Taiwei, the ruling hall, the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Xian pursed his lips tightly, what happened back then involved not only the emperor, the eldest grandson Wuji, countless ministers of the government and the opposition, but also the queen of martial arts.

The matter of marriage has always been important.

It is equivalent to Zheng's self-loss of one-third of his strength.

"Yes!" Li Xuan arched his hand slightly, and said: "Wannian County Lieutenant Cui Ming will be transferred to Taiyuan County Lieutenant, the Cui family will let other clansmen take over the Wannian County Order, Cui Xiang and the minister have already talked about it, in the future, Cui Xiang, the Cui family, and the Lu family will fully support His Royal Highness." ”

With the negotiation of peace, in the future, in Luoyang, the Donggong and Cui Lu families will have a tacit understanding.

Li Xian waved his hand, and everyone immediately turned around.

"If it is Cheng Wuting, the general of the forbidden army, what about it?" Li Xuan's words, Li Xian's eyes widened in surprise.

"For example, Yu Zhining and Chu Suiliang, if it was back then, Your Majesty sincerely negotiated with the second prince before the incident, and let the second prince temporarily leave the court and serve as the governor of Yangzhou, the governor of Bingzhou, or the governor of Yizhou, without these two people in the court, Zhao Guogong was isolated in the court, how could he be His Majesty's opponent?" Li Xuan put forward another possibility in a few words.

Therefore, once the marriage is completed, the Zheng family is not allowed to regret it again; But if the Zheng family does not agree to the marriage, then it means that they have other intentions.

"As long as you control the six Shangshu and have Zhongshu in hand, no matter how strong Pei Xiangquan's desire is, he is just a lonely person, and after ten years, let him follow the rules of the court." Li Xuan suddenly sighed lightly and said, "In this way, that kind of means is not stronger than the Xianqing incident." ”

Li Xuan didn't speak again, just raised his head and stared straight at Li Xian.

Li Xian immediately understood that Pei Yan was pushed to the front desk by Li Xuan to fight with the Empress Wu.
