On the tenth day of December, the sun was shining brightly, and the cold wind was temporarily resting.

Liu Jinyu lifted the car curtain, looked at the withered yellow fields on both sides, and looked sideways at Li Xuan: "Husband, it doesn't seem to have snowed much since the beginning of winter, and there won't be a drought next year, right?" ”

"No!" Li Xuan held Xia'er in her arms, glanced at Pei Shitong, who was holding Li Zhichang on her right, and said softly: "There is less snow this winter, but it is because there is too much rain in summer and the gas engine is too away. ”

"So the husband took the whole family out for a walk before the snow fell." Liu Jinyu turned around, hugged Li Zhiming, who was a little unstable, looked at Li Zhizhao, who was sitting firmly on the side, and looked at Li Xuan with some uncertainty.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Almost, after fifteen, it will not be easy to go out, for the husband to visit Princess Taiping a few days ago, the princess gave birth in this half of the decade, and when the princess gave birth and there was heavy snow, it was indeed not easy to come out." ”

The curtain in front of the car shook slightly, the shadow of the mountain floated in the distance, and three hundred guards escorted it, and the road was stable.

Li Xuan looked down at Xia'er, pressed her cheek, and said softly: "My county lord is also tired from staying in Luoyang City, now go to Taiqing Palace to relax, okay?" ”

"Good!" Xia'er leaned on Li Xuan's arms and whispered, "Aya, Xia'er wants to go back to Chang'an." ”

"Come on, we'll go back after the New Year." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said, "That's it, Sanniang." ”

Li Xuan raised her head, looked at Liu Jinyu and said: "On weekdays, your husband is not in the mansion, you take Tong'er and a few children to go to the Linzi County Palace, let them play more with the Linzi County King, and don't go to Henan County, there has been some unrest recently." ”

"Is it the Zheng family's business?" Liu Jinyu's face was a little worried.

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded lightly and said, "The Dou family and the Wei family are joining forces to attack the Zheng family, and the situation is a little chaotic. ”

Liu Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in a low voice: "So, the Wei family and the Dou family have eliminated the conflict between each other, and instead joined forces to make a move against the Zheng family?" ”

"King Xiang is the prince's brother after all, the matter of the political hall, in the end, the final result is not much, the queen of heaven called Yuan Wanqing into the palace yesterday, knelt in front of the Qianyuan Hall for four hours, and finally did not summon him, the queen of heaven blamed the meaning is obvious, but in fact, the matter is generally like this."

Li Xuan sighed lightly and said: "Small punishment and big commandment, if there is no accident, after this time the matter is over, Yuan Wanqing will be sent out of the place, and he will go to Taiyuan to be the commander of Taiyuan County, and the matter will be over." ”

"But the anger of the East Palace and the Prime Minister's Mansion will all be vented on the Zheng family." Liu Jinyu immediately understood that the East Palace and the Xiangwang Mansion had also been reconciled.

"That's how it should be." Li Xuan held Xia'er's little hand, and while playing with her daughter, she said: "Since the day before yesterday, although the East Palace has also found a lot of misdeeds in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even Yuan Wanqing, the impeachment is not too heavy, and the key marriage letter has never been traced. ”

Marriage book, the marriage letter of Li Dan and Zheng's private marriage contract.

Finding this thing, Zongzheng Temple can not only impeach Yuan Wanqing, but even impeach Li Dan.

However, in this matter, the East Palace has already set the tone, even if all the subordinate officials and guests of the Prime Minister's Mansion are driven away, the Prime Minister cannot be implicated.

Now that a lot of misdeeds have been found, although the impeachment is not too heavy, it is not too difficult to drive them out of Luoyang temporarily.

"So it's calm on the surface, but in fact you're still looking for that marriage letter?" Liu Jinyu completely understood.

Because Empress Wu made a move, the East Palace had to be restrained, but the struggle in the dark continued, and whoever could find the marriage letter first would have the upper hand.

"That's pretty much, anyway, Su Sima is in charge of this matter, so the husband won't interfere." After Li Xuan finished speaking, she hugged Xia'er and quarreled with her daughter.

Liu Jinyu looked sideways at Pei Shitong on the other side, Pei Shitong shrugged absently, and seemed to really care about nothing.

Liu Jinyu turned to look at Li Xuan, she knew that Li Xuan must not be as out of the way he said, but on the surface, everything was no longer suitable for him to participate in, so on the surface, he intervened very little.

But if you really ignore Li Xuan like this, I'm afraid you don't even know how she died.

This time the East Palace's revenge, the reason why the Xiangwang Mansion did not dare to do too much counterattack was because first, they were at fault, and secondly, Li Xian served the emperor every day.

The crown prince was by the emperor's side, but the king of Xiang could not see the emperor at all.

The emperor cares for the crown prince, but he doesn't see the king, even if he is determined, he will gradually lose confidence.

This trick is the means of his husband.

The purest means of conspiracy.

Liu Jinyu said in a deep voice: "But husband, after all, the Zheng family is a big family in the world, so if it really makes a big fuss, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to calm down." ”

"This is natural, therefore, the East Palace, the Xiangwang Mansion, the Wei family, and the Dou family are all targeted at the fifth room of the Zheng family, and the Zheng family has been dispersed." Li Xuan sighed lightly and said, "The best thing for the Zheng family now is that the old lady burned the marriage book, and then hid back in Xingyang, and everything will be fine." ”

"Hmm!" Liu Jinyu nodded in agreement, and then said softly: "At that time, this matter will be over." ”

"Everything will return to the political hall and back to the hands of the Queen of Heaven." Li Xuan smiled and said, "Everything has nothing to do with being a husband. ”

Li Xuan did everything he had to do, and the rest was to get out completely, and everything that happened after that had nothing to do with him.

It's true.

……

Luoyang City North Mountain Cuiyun Peak, Shangqing Palace.

The sky is a giant tree, and the shadow of the sun is tilted.

In front of the Taoist temple, Li Xuan picked up Liu Jinyu, Pei Shitong, and Xia'er, Zhao'er, and Ming'er to get off.

Looking at the familiar Taoist temple, Li Xuan sighed lightly, then looked at Liu Jinyu and said, "Sanniang, we sent each other's gifts here back then, right?" ”

"My son and daughter are here, what are you talking about?" Liu Jinyu was embarrassed and glanced at Pei Shitong with some embarrassment.

Pei Shitong asked with curiosity on her face: "Husband, what happened back then?" ”

Pei Shitong had already met Li Xuan at that time, but later she was trapped in the imperial city and couldn't get out, but was overtaken by Liu Jinyu.

But it can't be said that the first time the three of them met back then, they were all in the south of Luoyang City, in the mountain temple at the foot of Song Mountain.

Li Xuan glanced sideways at Liu Jinyu, then shook his head and said: "Back then, there was a debate between the husband and the Buddhist Zen master and the monk Yifu, but I didn't expect that after a few years, the husband can now step into the ancestral land of Buddhism in one step. ”

"Poor Dao hopes that the prince can really take another step forward, so that the Buddhism will really become the Buddhism of Middle-earth." A Lingsheng Daoist in a cyan Dao robe walked out of the Dao Palace, bowed slightly to Li Xuan and said, "I've seen the prince, the princess, Concubine Pei, and several princes. ”

"I've seen a real person." Liu Jinyu and Pei Shitong saluted at the same time.

Li Xuan returned a salute and said sincerely: "When I came here, I bothered my senior brother, and if I come here today, I will inevitably trouble my senior brother." ”

"The prince is polite, please inside." The Spirit Daoist took a step back.

Li Xuan stepped forward, stood shoulder to shoulder with Lingsheng, stretched out his hand and said, "Senior brother, please." ”

Lingsheng nodded, half a step behind Li Xuan, and said at the same time: "How did the prince think of coming to Taiqing Palace today, since the beginning of this year, most of the people in Luoyang have actually gone to Songshan. ”

Compared with Taiqing Palace, Songshan is much closer.

"I want to be quiet, and I am also preparing to pray to Dao Zu for myself, for my family, for my elders, and of course, I also hope that Dao Zu can bless Your Majesty.

When the prince heard that Xuan was coming to Taiqing Palace today, he also hoped that Xuan could put two more incense sticks on him, praying that the Taoist ancestor would bless him, the world would be healthy, and the emperor would be safe. Li Xuan nodded slightly, looking emotional.

"I see." Lingsheng now finally understands why Li Xuan has to mobilize so many right guards to escort him when he travels, and it turns out that he still has the intention of praying for the emperor for the crown prince.

While speaking, everyone had already come to the Laojun Palace, and Lingsheng shook the dust and said, "Lord Wang, please." ”

"Thank you, brother." Li Xuan walked into the Laojun Palace, bowed and bowed, and then knelt down in front of the statue of Laojun.

Liu Jinyu, Pei Shitong, with Xia'er, Zhao'er, and Ming'er, knelt down together, and followed Li Xuan to kowtow.

Taishang Laojun is the ancestor of the Li family, and he burns incense to worship, and he is also worshipping his ancestors.

……

Coming out of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, Liu Jinyu and Pei Shitong took Xia'er, Zhao'er, and Ming'er to the side hall.

Li Xuan and Lingsheng were walking in the courtyard, Li Xuan sighed lightly, and said: "Senior brother, the person who the senior brother has asked for in this life, but the living soul can have a few more buckets of food in the family, but all these back-and-forth entanglements are the most difficult." ”

Lingsheng nodded, and exclaimed: "The prince's character is unparalleled in the world, the stability of the war in the Western Regions over the years has been due to the prince's conquest, the stability of the people in the north and south, and the merit of clearing the fields, even the floods and droughts, and also has a lot of governance merits. ”

"It's just a matter of doing your best." Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then said: "The emperor is seriously ill, and Xuan wants to light a lantern in the hall, send his family to and from the sacrifice every day, and ask the emperor to live a long life and be healthy, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

"It's a great move." Lingsheng's face was admiring, and he waved the dust and said: "It is said that the prince is loyal, and now that he can see it, it is true." ”

"Thank you so much, Senior Brother, Xuan will be bothering in the palace today, and by the way, he will meditate in the side hall." Li Xuan nodded slightly.

"Lord Wang, please!" The Lingsheng Taoist took Li Xuan to the side hall together, and then opened a quiet room alone.

Li Xuan sat quietly alone, and there were wives and concubines and children frolicking next to him, and it was rare to calm down again.

The spiritual Taoist took his leave and went to prepare a meal.

Walking in the stone path, the Lingsheng Taoist couldn't help frowning slightly, he didn't understand, this King Peng, this time to the Taiqing Palace, is it really just to pray for blessings and incense?

Unconsciously at noon, the Lingsheng Taoist was just about to go to deliver the meal, and a welcoming Taoist came over in a little panic: "Senior brother, Mrs. Zheng of Xingyang suddenly came to pray for blessings and incense, but today the palace is no longer waiting for outsiders, how about it?" ”

Lingsheng Dao's hand paused slightly, closed his eyes and pondered: "Tell Mrs. Tai that there is King Peng in the Taiqing Palace today praying for the emperor's blessing and peace, and not waiting for outsiders. ”

"Yes!" The greeter retreated.

The Lingsheng Daoist stood alone and couldn't help but laugh.

I see.

……

In the quiet room, Li Xuan crossed her knees to breathe, her hands were flat on her knees, her eyes were slightly closed, and her expression was calm.

Quiet to the extreme, nature has all thoughts born naturally.

The affairs of the family, the affairs of the border land, the affairs of Luoyang, the affairs of the political hall, and the affairs of the emperor and the prince of the Empress Wu were all flowing in Li Xuan's heart.

"Bang bang bang!" The familiar knock on the door sounded, Li Xuan didn't open his eyes, and said, "Come in!" ”

Liu Jinyu immediately pushed the door in, looked at Li Xuan in surprise, and said at the same time: "Husband, Mrs. An came to the outside of the Taiqing Palace with Mrs. An to enter the incense and pray for blessings, but was stopped by the right guard and asked if he could enter the palace. ”

Li Xuan opened her eyes slightly and said calmly: "Has the Zheng family reached the point where they asked to be a husband...... Oh, it's still a family in the world...... It should have been given three points of thin noodles, but forget it today, please ask the lady to send someone to tell you, please Mrs. Tai don't go to the incense to pray for blessings, for the husband is not here. ”

"Missing?" Liu Jinyu was stunned, didn't Li Xuan come here today to meet the Zheng family?

"Nope." Li Xuan's voice was firm.

"Good!"
