Li Xuan sat on the futon, raised his head, and looked at Li Zhu in a slightly surprised manner: "Mrs. Tong'an didn't enter the palace, but went back to the Zheng manor?" ”

"Yes!" Li Zhu gave his hand seriously.

Li Xuan groaned slightly, and then sighed lightly: "It's a pity." ”

Liu Jinyu sat aside and asked curiously, "Why is it a pity?" ”

Li Xuan raised his head, looked out of the door, and said softly: "Because for now, the best way for the Zheng family is to immediately enter the palace to ask the queen of heaven for guilt, be honest about everything, and the queen of heaven will punish slightly, and this matter will naturally pass." ”

Liu Jinyu blinked and frowned slightly: "Then why don't you go with Mrs. An?" ”

As long as you enter the palace and bow your head to the queen of heaven, the queen of heaven gives face, and this matter is over.

But Cui just didn't go.

"This thing." Li Xuan sighed lightly and said: "Cui's plea means that she has to take all the responsibilities, but the Zheng family wants to marry their daughter to King Xiang, so they colluded with Yuan Wanqing, and King Xiang didn't know it, and it was she herself who hooked up with the prime minister and tried to make a difference in the political hall." ”

After a slight pause, Li Xuan couldn't help but chuckle: "Xingyang Zheng family, it's normal to stir up the wind and rain in the political affairs hall. ”

Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan in disbelief and asked in a low voice: "So in this way, the marriage of the Zheng family's Qiniang in the future will be completely ruined?" ”

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

If the Cui family admits its guilt, it is tantamount to telling the world that the Zheng family is in a hurry to marry Zheng Qiniang to King Xiang.

In this way, not only will Zheng Qiniang's marriage contract be ruined all her life, but the other women of the Zheng family will also have a bad reputation in the family.

If you can't marry into a good Langjun family, you can't marry with five surnames and seven families, and even Guanlong nobles, the Zheng family's family will fall.

In this way, the prestige of the Zheng family, which was barely maintained as one of the five surnames and seven families, would be completely destroyed.

He is no longer one of the five surnames.

Naturally, Mrs. Cui will not be willing to do such a thing, so it is natural not to go to the palace to ask the queen of heaven.

"At least in this way, with that marriage certificate in hand, King Xiang may really marry the Zheng family woman into the door one day, and at that time, maybe his face will be maintained." Li Xuan's words directly pierced Cui's thoughts.

"It's not that marriage book, that fake marriage book......" Liu Jinyu is a little confused now.

"The fake marriage book that I burned just now is in itself to reassure the world." Li Xuan shook his head and said, "However, when the fake marriage book is burned, and the husband says that it is true, then the queen of heaven will also default to the fact that the marriage contract is real, and if it is burned, it can be completely treated as if it does not exist." ”

"In other words, even if the Zheng family still has the real marriage book in their hands, the outside world will all think that it has been burned, and no one can do anything with it, and King Xiang's face will be saved." Liu Jinyu finally understood that what Li Xuan is doing now is actually protecting King Xiang.

"That's right." Li Xuan smiled and sighed: "But King Xiang himself, as well as the Zheng family, all know that the matter is not over, and there are some smart people who are the same."

However, the turmoil of this matter has been transferred from the table to the table, and the impact is much smaller. ”

"Husband won't just let it go, right?"

Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan suspiciously, and then leaned in and asked in a low voice: "The husband will not secretly take the marriage book and then publicize it." ”

"No, it won't." Li Xuan waved her hand and said, "That marriage book has been burned here for the husband, and as for whether other people believe it or not, it's not about the husband." ”

"If you don't do this, then how will the prince explain?" Liu Jinyu's face became serious.

The East Palace was still counting on finding the marriage book to attack Yuan Wanqing, Li Xuan just let it go, and the prince was afraid that the first one would be unwilling.

"So, write a letter." Li Xuan smiled, then looked up, looked at Li Zhu, and said, "Take a pen and paper." ”

"Whoa!" Li Bi immediately gave up his hand, then turned around and walked away quickly.

Soon, a blank piece of paper, an envelope, and a thin bamboo brush had been placed in front of Li Xuan's eyes.

Liu Jinyu stood aside to polish the ink for Li Xuan, looking curiously at what Li Xuan would write.

This letter, to whom will he write.

Li Xuan's face became solemn, he lifted the pen, dipped it in a little ink, and then lightly touched the beginning of the paper.

A very slight ink spot fell, Li Xuan had already raised his hand, and then put the thin bamboo brush on the side.

The ink dots dried quickly, and Li Xuan picked up the letter paper and put him in the envelope.

Finally, it was written on the surface: Brother Wanqing is enlightened.

Picking up the envelope, Li Xuan looked at Li Zhu solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "This letter, you personally delivered it to the Yuanshe Mansion." ”

"Whoa!" Li Zhu immediately gave up his hand, then quickly turned around and left, and after a while, he already heard the sound of the horse's hooves moving away.

Li Xuan turned around, with a smile on her face, and looked at Liu Jinyu seriously: "Do you understand, lady?" ”

Liu Jinyu nodded slowly, and said with an amazed look in his eyes: "Husband, this is to make the Yuanshe people think that the marriage book has fallen into the hands of the husband, and he can make trouble at any time and let him deal with it himself." ”

Li Xuan nodded slowly, his expression was restrained, and he said solemnly: "This time, the prince doesn't want to make a big fuss, after all, the matter is about the face of the king, but the people who know about this matter are really not small, and the queen of heaven intends to shelter." Although it is said that Yuan Wanqing is very likely to be transferred to Taiyuan Ling, it is difficult to say how, so force it, he should know how to do it. ”

The emperor's body is getting worse day by day, and who knows when he will die.

Li Xuan didn't want the emperor to die, and if Empress Wu left Yuan Wanqing behind, it would be equivalent to the fact that this matter in front of him had never happened at all, and Li Xuan didn't agree to such a thing.

If it weren't for Empress Wu's protection, Li Xuan would have killed Yuan Wanqing a long time ago, and where could he easily avoid this catastrophe.

When he first returned to Chang'an, Yuan Wanqing had impeached him once, although the Empress Wu covered his name and surname, Li Xuan couldn't see through it.

Especially the collusion between Yuan Wanqing and the Zheng family, everything has already been clearly placed in front of Li Xuan.

Liu Jinyu nodded and said, "In this way, I will be able to explain to the prince." ”

Li Xuan sighed lightly and said, "If the Zheng family is willing to go back to Xingyang obediently, then this matter, the queen of heaven will send a few Zheng family's assassins at most, and the matter will be over." ”

"But I'm afraid that the Zheng family won't give up easily." Liu Jinyu followed Li Xuan's words and said.

Although the Zheng family is now only four assassins, there are not a few people in the middle of the court, Sheren, and Wailang, and if it is really stiff, it is really not so easy to finish.

Li Xuan's eyes raised, looked outside the quiet room, collected her thoughts, closed her eyes gently, and said softly, "Let her be." ”

……

With a "snap", a piece of music was thrown directly on Yuan Wanqing's face.

Empress Wu sat behind the imperial couch, looked at Yuan Wanqing, and sneered: "King Peng is just an empty letter, so I scared you out of Beijing now, when did you Yuan Wanqing become so bold." ”

Kneeling in the Qianyang Palace, Yuan Wanqing bowed in a deep voice, and then said: "After returning to the heavens, the secret guard reported that Mrs. An personally rushed to the Taiqing Palace with Mrs. An to ask to see King Peng, but King Peng was praying for His Majesty for the crown prince, so he didn't see her." ”

Empress Wu restrained her expression a little, and said coldly: "This old pious woman, when she goes to see King Peng, she may have some cunning intentions. ”

"The minister speculates that Mrs. Tong'an should want King Peng to intercede with the prince on her behalf, but empty words and white teeth are not good, what should she have to pay?" Yuan Wanqing's expression was solemn.

"What to pay, it is nothing more than that marriage book, provoking the two sons of the palace to fight among themselves." Empress Wu snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "No more, it is to marry the two daughters of the Zheng family into the East Palace, so that San Lang and Shi Lang will be eternal enemies." ”

"Diva!" When Yuan Wanqing heard this, he bowed his head directly to the ground in fright.

Empress Wu smiled at this time, shook her head and said: "Yuanqing, this Mrs. Tong'an is still a little scheming, but it's a pity that she has lived too long." ”

"Yes!" Yuan Wanqing bowed his head heavily, his expression heavy.

Although the queen of heaven spoke lightly, her killing intent penetrated the sky, and Mrs. An was over.

One of the five surnames of the Zheng family, although there are only a few assassins in the court, but the in-laws are Cui Zhiwen, Wang Dezhen, Pei Yan, Xue Yuanchao, all have some contacts.

The person in charge of such a family, in a word, was condemned to life and death by the Empress Wu.

Empress Wu's eyes fell on Yuan Wanqing again, and she said in a calm voice: "Yuan Qing, that marriage book ......"

"King Peng burned it in public." After a slight pause, Yuan Wanqing said: "The secret guard sent a letter to Mrs. Tong'an to the Taiqing Palace, but King Peng didn't read it at all, so he concluded that it was the marriage book, so he immediately ordered someone to burn it in front of Mrs. Tong'an, and at the same time asked her to ask the queen of heaven for guilt, and after that, the minister received a letter from King Peng." ”

"King Peng is a smart man and knows how to take care of royal decency." Empress Wu squinted, stared at Yuan Wanqing and asked, "Yuan Qing, this palace is a little incomprehensible, Your Majesty just wants to make you make a little trouble, but why are you serious?" ”

Although Empress Wu's voice was light, every word was as heavy as a mountain in Yuan Wanqing's heart.

Yuan Wanqing hurriedly arched his hand and said: "After the enlightenment, the minister never thought that it would be like this, and the minister even got the Xue family's divorce letter, but the Cui family wanted to marry Zheng Jiuniang to the king of Xiang, and said that he could persuade Cui Xiang and Li Xiang, and also let Pei Xiang and Wang Xiang remain neutral. ”

"Cui Shi said that he can convince Cui Xiang and Li Xiang, and can also make Pei Xiang and Wang Xiang remain neutral?" Empress Wu glanced at Yuan Wanqing coldly, then his eyes converged, and said: "If this is the case, it should be a stalemate and balanced situation, how can there be such a big trouble?" ”

"The Queen of Heaven, after the minister and the king went back, they also deduced that someone was afraid that someone had moved their minds." Yuan Wanqing looked up cautiously and saw Empress Wu's cold eyes.

"Who?"

"The minister and the king of Xiang inferred that it should be Pei Xiang." Yuan Wanqing hurriedly possessed himself and said again: "Before, Pei Xiang was just playing balance, but in the end, if it wasn't for Pei Xiang's vote to vote for the East Palace, Wang Xiang also abstained, otherwise the situation would be ugly." ”

In the eyes of Li Dan and Yuan Wanqing, it was Pei Yan who voted for the East Palace in the end, and Wang Dezhen who abstained.

They were completely mistaken.

"Perhaps, it was Wang Dezhen who voted for it, and it was Pei Yan who abstained." Empress Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said softly: "Pei Yan has quite a balance method. ”

Yuan Wanqing felt a creepy feeling inexplicably, and hurriedly leaned over and said, "Yes!" ”

Empress Wu sneered and looked at Yuan Wanqing: "Yuan Qing! ”

Yuan Wanqing hurriedly bowed his head: "The minister is here." ”

Empress Wu said coldly: "Go back and pack your things." ”

"Yes!" Yuan Wanqing let out a long sigh of relief.
