On the eighth day of the lunar month, the day of the Buddha's enlightenment.

In the Jade Dragon Garden, Liu Jinyu handed the black sheath long sword to Li Xuan on the side, and said with concern: "Husband, come back early, there is still hot porridge waiting at home." ”

Dressed in red clothes and gold armor, Li Xuan, who was tall and tall, took it, hung it on her waist, nodded slightly at Liu Jinyu and said: "Today's election is the book of the Ministry of Rites, if the political hall ends earlier, the husband can come back earlier." ”

"Hmm!" Liu Jinyu nodded lightly, and then said with a little worry: "There is a political hall, Ah Weng has always been a little uneasy in the past two days, has the husband heard any news?" ”

"There are always people who are unwilling, after all, it is also the position of the three products and six books." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, and said: "The husband is now sitting in the right guard military office, and the affairs of the political hall are more avoided now, and the prince's side ...... It also happens to look at the prince's ability, and I think that His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven also mean the same. ”

Li Xian used to supervise the country, but he sat on top of the prime ministers, and now he sits in the political hall, but he has fallen into the quagmire of political struggle.

This is not the emperor's test for him.

"Okay, don't worry about anything." Li Xuan turned around and glanced at Liu Jinyu, and her calm smile completely reassured Liu Jinyu.

Turning around, Li Xuan strode towards the outside of the hall.

Liu Jinyu stood in the middle hall and watched Li Xuan leave.

Li Xuan felt the gaze behind him, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, Li Xuan didn't tell Liu Jinyu too much about the turmoil in the political hall.

It's like Li Xuan didn't tell Liu Renliang.

In this matter, Liu Renliang needs the political hall to be calm and controllable, while Li Xuan needs the political hall to be chaotic.

Only in a mess can he fish in troubled waters, and then blow up the fish that are lurking underneath the water.

……

Outside the gate of the mansion, Li Xuan turned over and got on his horse, and a whole team of right guards were already waiting outside the door.

Li Xuan slowly moved forward and came to the outside of the Pengcheng County Mansion, where he joined the Jinwu guards guarding here.

Liu Renliang is the prime minister, and the court system is escorted by Jinwu.

Now he is no longer the left servant of Shangshu, he doesn't need to get up early and be busy at night, he often sits in the East Palace, and occasionally goes to the political hall.

Li Xuan's horse's hooves stopped, and the gate of the Pengcheng County Mansion just opened.

A carriage slowly drove out, and the right guard, Jin Wuwei, on both sides of each column, escorted Liu Renliang towards the palace.

The carriage moved slowly, the curtain was lifted, Li Xuan was on the left, bowed his head and saluted: "Yue Weng!" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Renliang nodded and asked casually, "How are you doing in the Right Guard Office recently?" ”

"It's fine." Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then said: "There are not many things in the right guard, the only important thing is the matter of the battlefield in the Western Regions, and the others are some personnel files and materials. ”

Liu Renliang glanced at Li Xuan deeply, nodded and said, "It's right to do this." ”

Generally speaking, the generals of the Sixteenth Guard seldom sat in the government and rarely dealt with too detailed military affairs.

Because once there is really an army of one guard, 20,000 elites, plus tens of thousands of local Zhichong Mansion and all of them are controlled by it, then once there is a change, it will directly impact the court.

Therefore, the general of the Sixteenth Guard tacitly agreed not to pay too much attention to too detailed military affairs.

But now, the emperor has ordered them to sit in the government, so it is better for them to be diligent in the affairs of the king and control the army of the Sixteen Guards strictly.

That's what Li Xuan did during this time, and during this time, he read quite a lot of personnel files.

The generals above the school captain, their personal origins, residences, and their origins and personalities, Li Xuan recorded them all in his heart.

There are some special characters, and Li Xuan has also been transferred to some unimportant positions, so as not to cause problems at critical moments.

In order to stabilize the court, the emperor gave Li Xuan the opportunity to deeply master the right guard, and Li Xuan would certainly not let it go.

He believes that other Gao Kan, Sun Renshi and others will also not let go of this opportunity.

Because the emperor has not noticed.

"How is the situation of the Zheng family, what is the news from Pei Gong?" Liu Renliang asked in a low voice.

The marriage between the prince and the Zheng family has always been handled by Empress Wu, and in addition to Pei Guangxiao in the East Palace, there are actually other channels for contact.

"It's a little weird." Li Xuan looked down at Liu Renliang and said cautiously: "The Zheng family said to Pei Gong that it needs to be considered, but the son-in-law learned through other channels that Zheng Renshan has begun to return to Chang'an from all over the country......

"They agree internally, but keep their voice on the outside, do they want to gain something?" Liu Renliang frowned slightly.

Li Xuan nodded lightly and said, "Maybe it's just hiding it from us, maybe there is already a result there in the queen of heaven......"

After a slight pause, Li Xuan said: "Yue Weng, if this marriage can be successful, you might as well do it bigger." ”

Liu Renliang looked up in surprise: "Your Majesty is now in ...... body I understood, and I did it. ”

Rush.

Although Li Xuan's words were very light, many people heard them in front of him.

The word Chongxi suddenly appeared in the hearts of many people.

However, the emperor's health is not good, and it is not a secret, even the emperor himself issued an edict on this matter.

Now that the prince is taking advantage of the marriage to be happy, isn't he doing his filial piety.

……

Looking at the Chengtianmen in front of him, Liu Renliang stopped and turned back.

Li Xuan waved his hand slightly, and Li Zhu and the other guards immediately took ten steps back.

This is already the imperial palace, and the right guard and Jin Wuwei have each returned to their original offices, and only a few guards follow Li Xuan and Liu Renliang.

"Today's political affairs hall ......" Liu Renliang paused slightly, looked at Li Xuan and said: "If you want to discuss the matter of the Ministry of Rites, what do you think?" ”

"The matter of the Ministry of Rites, the grandson-in-law doesn't care much, but since this matter is a matter of the Wei family, why don't Yue Weng ask the Wei family first, are they prepared for this matter?" Li Xuan arched his hand slightly, his expression solemn.

Liu Renliang nodded and said, "Okay, that's it, you go back to the government first." ”

"Whoa!" Li Xuan turned around and walked towards the Right Guard.

The right guard army is on the west side of the imperial city, close to the prince's right guard.

Li Xuan, as the general of the right guard and a guest of the prince, also has absolute control over the right guard rate of the prince.

But...... In the entire imperial city, there were only 480 officers and soldiers of the right guard, and the rate of the right guard was the same number.

Many more soldiers were stationed outside the city.

Now there are about 5,000 right guards guarding in Luoyang, 5,000 stationed in Chang'an, 5,000 in Luodao, and 5,000 right guards in Andong Dao, which are distributed all over the world.

Li Xuan entered the Right Guard Army, went straight to the middle hall, and immediately began to send various scripts as soon as Changshi joined the army.

Li Xuan immediately began to get busy, and didn't seem to care much about the election of the secretary of the political hall and the ceremonial department that was about to begin.

It would definitely be a tough fight.

……

Menxia Province, Government Hall.

The pines and cypresses are verdant, and the remnants of snow are scattered.

In the political affairs hall, Liu Renliang and Li Xian stood under the hall and whispered something.

Steady footsteps sounded outside, and immediately, Pei Yan's figure appeared in front of Liu Renliang and Li Xian.

Pei Yan, Wang Dezhen, and Cui Zhiwen entered from the outside one after another, and then stood still at the same time and bowed to Li Xian and Liu Renliang and said, "I've seen Your Highness, I've seen Zuo Xiang." ”

Li Xian nodded gently and said, "Three Aiqing, please take a seat!" ”

"Whoa!" Pei Yan, Wang Dezhen, and Cui Zhiwen bowed their hands, and then sat down on the right side.

Cui Zhiwen's gaze calmly and cautiously swept over Liu Renliang's body, and then quickly swept over the crown prince Li Xian.

The two of them were still talking about something, as if they didn't notice his important role in the matter.

Cui Zhiwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at least until now, Liu Renliang and Li Xian didn't know that Cui Zhiwen was going to turn against the East Palace today.

After today, Donggong's attitude towards him will no longer be friendly.

Especially from today to the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the East Palace's revenge on them will become more and more tragic.

I don't know how many children of the three families will be shelved after this matter.

However, the current situation is indeed worth the gamble.

Especially in the palace.

If the emperor really can't survive this winter, then the plan of the Xiangwang Mansion is about to be a great success.

What Cui Zhiwen is not sure about now is how many people see this opportunity, and he doesn't understand how many people see this crisis.

Especially on the prince's side, if there is really a fight, everything will be extremely cruel, and the emperor and the queen of heaven will at least not be able to control it.

But it seems that the crown prince and Zuo Xiang don't seem to be aware, so what about King Peng?

……

Li Xian sat in the central seat, and said solemnly: "Zhuqing, today the presiding officer is still in the Ministry of Rites, but before that, there are two things to say. ”

Li Xian looked at Liu Renliang, Liu Renliang nodded slightly, stood up, handed an official document to Xue Yuanchao on the left, and said at the same time: "The first thing, the king of Xiang is playing in Songshan, according to the emperor's order, Songshan is sealed on the fifteenth day of the first month, but there is a shortage of 1,000 soldiers called, please dispatch the military department." ”

Pei Yan was the first to frown, looked at Li Xian and asked, "Your Highness, what did the military department say about this matter?" ”

"Ouyang Shangshu of the Ministry of War, according to the method calculated by the Prime Minister, the required shortfall, 400 people is enough, but if you consider taking turns to replace them, leniently, 1,000 people are acceptable." Li Xian smiled and said, "Shiro may be lenient, and the plan is perfect, and it is not impossible to allow it. ”

"Since the military department said that 400 people are enough, let's have 400 people." Li Yiyan opened his mouth with an indifferent face and said, "If you are worried about an accident, let Zuo Qianniuwei transfer a hundred people to investigate." ”

"Good!" Everyone in the room nodded at the same time.

It's hard to say that King Xiang really wants this thousand people, if he really wants it, it is inevitable that there will be a bad center, if there is no doubt, the punishment is a bit excessive.

This is more like some temptation, but it may not be what King Xiang meant, it is likely that everyone else in his house thinks about it, and he directly refuses it.

It's just that the temptation in this shows that King Xiang is a little unwilling.

"Second thing." Liu Renliang looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Before, I saw the queen of heaven, and the queen of heaven said that the daughter of the Zheng family in the East Palace is the prince Liangdi, the marriage contract has been decided, and the marriage is set on the nineteenth day of the lunar month, and it coincides with the grand event of Feng Chan, so I decided to be a little grander, and I invite you to come at that time." ”

Cui Zhiwen suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Renliang in disbelief.

This matter, as far as he knew, the Zheng family's reply to the palace was that it still needed to be considered.

Although it is said that Zheng Xuankai and the Xue family have dissolved the marriage contract, it will take some time for the rumors to dissipate, and Yuan Wanqing also reported to the queen of heaven like this.

At least this matter will drag on until after the confession, if their guess is correct, then the final marriage will not be completed at all.

Moreover, if today's thing is successful, and the East Palace and the Zheng family turn their faces, this marriage will be even more delayed.

But now, Liu Renliang said that the marriage contract has been set, and even the wedding date is set on the nineteenth day of the lunar month.

Cui Zhiwen is sure that no one in the Zheng family knows about this matter, and the decision made in this palace was only made today.

It was the prince and Zuo Xiang's means to play, and the queen of heaven directly allowed it.

But on the contrary, the Zheng family can't say a word about this matter.

The ministers couldn't even say a word.

Because everyone knows that the emperor is not in good health, Na Liangdi in the East Palace is also holding a big marriage, which is obviously making the emperor happy.

The prince is doing his filial piety.

……

Cui Zhiwen and the others smiled together to congratulate the prince.

But deep down, Cui Zhiwen couldn't help but be vigilant.

With the sudden announcement of this marriage, the relationship between the Zheng family and the East Palace has changed abruptly, so if the Zheng family backstabs the prince again today, the consequences will be far worse than they imagined.

It will even shake the hearts of some people.
