On the thirteenth day of the lunar month, snowflakes fell.

The goshawk flew high in the sky, flew into Luoyang City, and flew into the Jade Dragon Garden.

With a "squeak", the door of the main hall of the courtyard on the east side was opened, and light snow fell on the door.

Li Xuan, dressed in red brocade, walked out of the room lightly, and then immediately closed the door gently.

Li Xuan raised his eyes, the sky was still gloomy, and when he calculated the time, it was not yet the hour.

Outside the courtyard, Li Zhu was already waiting silently, covered with a thin layer of snow.

Li Xuan took a breath of cold air, walked out of the courtyard with a calm face, and then turned around and walked towards the study in the backyard.

Li Zhu hurried to follow, above the light snow, the footsteps were extremely clear.

Li Xuan opened the study and saw that a pair of golden armor was directly placed in the center, and the light was restrained and calm.

A long lance stands on the side, the candle flame flickers, and the blade is cold.

Li Xuan walked to the wooden frame, and there was a "squeak" behind him, and the door closed.

Li Zhu walked behind Li Xuan and handed over the secret letter in his hand.

Li Xuan took the secret letter, opened it and took a look, there was no text in the secret letter, only a thick black dot.

It was such a black spot, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh lightly: "It's started." ”

Li Zhu walked quickly to the candle flame on the side, lifted the bamboo cage on it, took the secret letter handed over by Li Xuan, and then directly burned it to ashes.

Li Xuan turned around and faced the door.

Li Zhu quickly came behind Li Xuan, took off the armor from the shelf, and helped Li Xuan put it on his body.

Then put all the armor parts on Li Xuan's body.

Li Xuan looked ahead and said calmly: "Pass the order, the snow is heavy in winter, let our people take it back, and if they can't get it back, go to the villages around to have a look."

Heavy snow for several days, the people's homes are afraid that there will be a lot of houses to collapse, firewood also has deficiencies, a little statistics, this king is good to hand over to the East Palace. ”

"Whoa!" Li Zhu nodded in response, and only when he put on his armor did he step aside.

Li Xuan's expression became solemn, his right hand stretched out, directly held the long lance in his hand, and then walked out of the door.

The snow is still falling, and it seems to be a lot lighter.

Li Xuan looked up, the sky was overcast, and he could see that there was still snow falling.

Li Xuan walked out of the Jade Dragon Garden with gentle steps.

Liu Jinyu, Pei Shitong, and three children are all asleep now, and they haven't gotten up yet.

In winter, if you can sleep a little longer, you can sleep a little longer, and Li Xuan doesn't want to disturb them too much.

Outside the Jade Dragon Garden, Li Xuan turned over and got on the horse.

glanced at the Lecheng County Mansion, the door of the mansion was not opened, and it was quiet.

Li Xuan turned his horse's head and walked towards the door.

The queen of heaven issued an edict yesterday, and the old ministers of the court who are more than 60 years old can enter the court an hour later, even the prime minister is the same.

The ministers were naturally grateful for the compassion of the Queen of Heaven, and they also had a rare rest.

Out of the fangmen, the opposite Luoyang North Market has been opened, even if it is a heavy snowfall, it is just as lively.

On the streets, even if the snow is still falling, Luoyang County has begun to organize people to clean the streets.

There may be no people outside Luoyang City, but there are still colorful footsteps in Luoyang City, and everything is still the same.

A group of right guard cavalry joined Li Xuan from Fangmen and escorted him to the palace.

These people are all children of noble families with a family background in Luoyang, although they have not entered the Jinwuwei, but it is also an honor to be able to become the personal guard of the general of the right guard.

Of course, these people were just Li Xuan acting with him when he was in Luoyang City.

Li Xuan's real five hundred guards are outside Luoyang City, and the people Li Xuan really uses are them.

……

Riding on the bank of the Luo River, watching the snow fall, the look on Li Xuan's face became solemn.

Mrs. Cui's wife died, and the Zheng family, one of the seven families with the five surnames, died.

It's never a small thing.

Even if the Zheng family is not many children of the assassin now, but the in-laws and countless interests are colluded, and they are definitely one of the top families in the world.

Its family died, and if it were changed to normal times, it would definitely be a big event.

But Cui's died in the aftermath of the imperial power, and died silently.

At the same time, it makes people feel angry, but also a little helpless.

However, in the end, someone has to bear the grievances of others, and this person cannot be the deceased Mrs. Tong'an, Cui, then it can only be the royal family.

The first is Li Dan, and the second is Empress Wu.

If the Zheng family had enough ability to investigate, they would immediately know that Zheng Qiniang was poisoned.

After that, Cui's was cut down and eradicated, which is also understandable, but being able to understand does not mean that it can be accepted.

Now that the imperial power is strong, they naturally can't do much, but once the imperial power weakens in the future, revenge will come immediately.

……

A snowflake gently fell on the tip of Li Xuan's nose, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

With a slight spit, snowflakes are already floating from the tip of the nose.

Li Xuan looked up and looked ahead, and the palace wall was already in front of him.

Unconsciously, a sneer had flashed on Li Xuan's face.

He believed that Empress Wu would also want to kill Cui's family, but Empress Wu's methods would be done quietly.

Even if Zheng Qiniang is poisoned, Mrs. Cui's will definitely die of a "serious illness".

But in that case, it would be too cheap Cui's, and too cheap Empress Wu.

One of the top families in the world, the ancestor of the Zheng family in Xingyang died unexpectedly, and the turmoil caused by such a thing will surely continue for years to come.

Of course, that will be a few years later, and Li Xuan will be more, and it will be a few years later.

The mountain tide is surging, and it is washed in one fell swoop.

In the sound of the Luohe River, Tianjin Bridge had already appeared in front of him, and Li Xuan's expression converged.

An official went to the end of the gate, the end of the gate has been opened, today there is no day, everyone to go to the yamen.

Hurried footsteps.

Li Xuan had just arrived under the end door, and a voice behind him had already sounded: "Uncle Wang! ”

Li Xuan turned around in surprise and saw Li Dan turning over and dismounting with snowflakes.

Li Xuan hurriedly stopped and arched his hand: "I've seen Your Highness!" Isn't His Highness in Songshan, and when did he come down? ”

Since the failure of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Contention, Li Dan retreated to Songshan, leaving Yuan Wanqing in Beijing to deal with the follow-up.

"Shiro just came back yesterday." Li Dan smiled, looked ahead, and said gently: "I haven't seen Uncle Wang for a long time, let's go for a walk?" ”

"Dare not obey orders!" Li Xuan gave up again.

……

Crossing the end gate and entering the imperial city, countless courtiers went to the palace, and the busy day was about to begin.

Walking on the palace road, Li Dan looked at all this, and said helplessly: "This incident, in the final analysis, Shiro was a little greedy, and in the end, it was Shiro's fault that Master Deyuan and all the masters left Beijing. ”

Yuan Wanqing's departure from Beijing is inevitable, but there are still some official documents in the ministry that have not been completed, but at most it is only after fifteen, and he will not be delayed until the end of the year.

As for the other people in Xiangwangfu, they can't find big mistakes, but small mistakes can also be found.

Even if it is a bone in the egg, everyone in the East Palace finds faults, and then uses various connections to drive these people out of Luoyang.

Of course, the most is only three months, and the few are even only three or five days.

But within three or five days, there was no power in the entire Luoyang Prince's Mansion, which was definitely a big boost to the morale of the East Palace.

Li Xuan sighed lightly and said: "Some things, if you do it, you will do it, and if you suffer a little setback, it is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

The brothers are here, and they meet with a smile and a grudge.

Li Dan looked at Li Xuan with some surprise, nodded and admired: "Uncle Wang is really extraordinary, Shiro has been taught here." ”

Li Xuan smiled and waved his hand, and said: "It's just a pleasure in suffering, how can things in the world be as good as they should be." ”

Li Dan was slightly silent, nodded, and then said: "Uncle Wang must know about Zuo Shilangzhong, and if he doesn't know about this, how can Donggong let go?" ”

Li Xuan looked at Li Dan in surprise, Li Dan actually begged him for Dou Sitai in Zuo Shilang, which was a rare thing.

However, Li Xuan instantly figured out the reason for this.

Zuo Shilang himself is the head of the Zhushilang, when it comes to the prosperity of power, I am afraid that it is only under the servants of the Zhubu and the Shaoqing of the temples, how can the Prime Minister's Mansion give up such a position.

In addition, there is also the reason for the princess.

Dou Sitai had an accident, the Dou family naturally knew what the reason was, and the one who should be found was naturally Princess Xiang Dou.

Dou's temperament is gentle, but it is also the same, and when he says a sentence or two, the more unbearable it is.

It was precisely because of this that Li Dan came to the palace.

However, the relationship between Li Dan and the Dou family is also the real reason why Li Xuan attacked Dou Sitai, Zuo Shilang.

Dou family, one of the Longxi gate valves.

Taimu Empress Dou clan, even if she is not related to Li Xuan, Li Xuan needs to call him grandmother.

Such a family, no matter who comes to power, it is difficult to clean up, especially after he and Li Dan married, in fact, it is already Li Dan's biggest help.

……

Li Xuan immediately smiled helplessly, stood firm under the Chengtian Gate, he shook his head at Li Dan and said: "Your Highness, it's not that the minister doesn't help here, it's really this matter, it is Su Sima who is in charge, and the minister's current position, it may be okay to suggest a sentence or two, but if you really meddle in, it will be taboo." ”

Li Dan's face suddenly became solemn.

He knew that what Li Xuan said was right, Li Xuan did not interfere much in this matter, and he did not even have a copy of the impeachment recital.

As the general of the right guard, Li Xuan has been sitting in the official office of the right guard almost every day these days, and he has not been to the East Palace much, let alone take care of other things.

But Li Dan also knew that Li Xuan was definitely not as harmless as he said.

In Li Dan's eyes, Li Xuan is definitely the top strategist in the entire world.

I didn't see that Yuan Wanqing had suffered a big loss at his hands.

With a slight groan, Li Dan spoke: "When Uncle Wang left Beijing over the years, he taught the imperial brother, and today, I don't know if Uncle Wang can also teach Shiro?" ”

Standing under the Chengtian Gate, Li Xuan glanced sideways in the direction of the Qianyuan Palace, and then said softly: "Your Highness, according to the minister's current point of view, the current matter happens to be just right now, no matter what Your Highness wants to do, please continue." ”

Li Dan blinked, he didn't understand what Li Xuan meant by Huahua.

Li Xuan smiled and arched his hand: "Your Highness, the minister will retire in this way, the time is not early, and the minister is on duty." ”

Li Dan came back to his senses, looked at Li Xuan and said, "Uncle Wang, go slowly!" ”

Li Xuan nodded, turned around, and walked in the direction of the right guard office.

Li Dan kept looking at him behind Li Xuan's back, until he disappeared completely and turned to look at Chengtianmen, Li Dan suddenly understood.

At this time, it is their queen mother who really wants to make the two brothers fight.

Perhaps, and the father.

Turning around, Li Dan did not hesitate at all, and headed towards the East Palace.
