Under the darkness of the night, two teams of cavalry escorted Liu Renliang back to the Lecheng County Mansion.

When the carriage arrived at the door, before it stopped, Liu Renliang had already lifted the curtain and said, "Don't go home, go to Yulongyuan first." ”

"Yes!" Li Xuan rode alongside him, and glanced at Li Zhu beside him.

Li Zhu immediately took a quick step ahead, and soon, the middle door of the Jade Dragon Garden was completely opened.

Liu Ren's carriage drove in, and the Jin Wuwei and the right guard cavalry behind each returned to the camp.

After getting out of the carriage, Liu Renliang saw Xia'er standing on the steps at a glance, wearing a thick blue and red waist-length skirt.

Liu Renliang couldn't help laughing, nodded at Liu Jinyu, Zhao'er, and Ming'er who saluted next to him, and then directly hugged Xia'er: "Lord Fuchang, do you miss Zu Weng?" ”

"Thought." Xia'er opened her mouth toothily, counted her fingers and said: "It's going to be Xiao Nian soon, Ah Niang and Aunt said that Xiao Nian went to Zu Weng's house." ”

"Good, good." Liu Renliang smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "Zu Weng will definitely prepare delicious food for you at that time." ”

"Hmm!" Xia'er laughed happily.

……

Liu Renliang hugged Xia'er, talked and smiled, came to the backyard, ignored Zhao'er and Ming'er at all, and went directly into the study.

handed Xia'er to Liu Jinyu and asked her to take Xia'er out to play, and Liu Renliang's expression became solemn.

Li Xuan put a teapot on the stove next to her, put tea leaves in it, and then boiled gently.

Liu Renliang sat on the short couch, looked up at Li Xuan, who was busy, and asked, "Virtuous son-in-law, do you know the most fundamental reason for Yuan Wanqing's death today?" ”

Li Xuan's hand stopped slightly, and his eyes were solemn.

If it was said that today's events, he had expected everything else, but Yuan Wanqing was beheaded by the emperor in the palace, but Li Xuan never thought of it.

Yuan Wanqing, the head of the North Gate Bachelor, said that he would kill him today.

Empress Wu didn't even plead for him.

With a light sigh, Li Xuan said: "Because he stirred up the storm between King Xiang and the prince, separated the brothers, and watched the throne, but unfortunately Your Majesty does not have the heart of Yi Chu, and the heart of protecting the prince is very heavy, so he can only let him die." ”

"I thought you were going to say that because of the death of Mrs. Tong'an, Your Majesty is using his head to appease the heart of the world's family." Liu Renliang couldn't help but smile.

Li Xuan bowed his head slightly and said, "The death of Mrs. Tong'an, in the final analysis, is just because the snow road is slippery and she fell off the cliff...... As for Yuan Wanqing, maybe he has some responsibility for this, but his grandson-in-law thinks that it is best to remove him as a concubine and exile him to Yazhou, so that what happens on the road has nothing to do with the court. ”

In Li Xuan's opinion, Yuan Wanqing is going to die after all, but compared to letting him die in the court, it is better to let him die on the road to exile and die at the hands of the family.

After the emperor canonized Zen, he will inevitably give amnesty to the world.

From the time Yuan Wanqing left Luoyang to the time he was pardoned, it would not take more than fifteen days.

The family in the world has a grudge against the royal family, so naturally they can't vent it to the prime minister Li Dan, so Yuan Wanqing, who gave advice to Li Dan, ran back and forth, and finally even abandoned the Zheng family, was their best target for revenge.

In particular, the emperor had already made clear his guilt and removed him from all official positions.

This in itself is to inform the world that the responsibility for the death of Mrs. Tong An lies on Yuan Wanqing.

The family in the world, at least the Zheng family and the Cui family will not let him go.

In this way, only Yuan Wanqing died at the hands of the Zheng family and the Cui family, and their resentment naturally subsided.

This was supposed to be a perfect move, but the emperor was killed in the middle of the court.

The resentment in the family's heart wants to be vented, but there is no way to vent it, which is not a good thing.

That's not really the way to go.

"You're half right, but not all right." Liu Renliang watched Li Xuan put the hot tea in front of him, took a sip lightly, and then sighed and said, "The reason why Your Majesty killed him is because all the things he did were gambling that Your Majesty would not survive this winter." ”

Li Xuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Renliang in disbelief.

"Yuan Wanqing, Cui's, their death is all because of this." Liu Renliang looked at Li Xuan deeply.

Li Xuan's brows were furrowed, but a trace of consternation flashed in his eyes, and then he said in a low voice: "Yue Weng, Cui's death, is it ......?"

Liu Renliang stared at Li Xuan and said solemnly: "It's not clear how it is, but Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven will definitely not let go of the Cui family." ”

Liu Renliang said, snorting coldly: "Deep in the mountains on a snowy night, if there is no emergency, who will rush to the body in the heavy snow, and if you are not careful, it will be a situation of broken bones...... It is difficult to guarantee that there will be no one to chase and kill after this. ”

Liu Renliang knew the emperor and Empress Wu too well, especially the emperor, when he saw clearly that the Cui family and Yuan Wanqing were betting that he would not survive this winter, the anger in his heart would immediately explode, and at this time, no one could save the Cui family.

Li Xuanxin lowered his heart slightly, and then nodded lightly.

If the emperor doesn't say it, Empress Wu will definitely not let go of Cui's family.

It's just that Li Xuan moved too fast, and the martial queen didn't have time to do it.

"In addition to Yuan Wanqing and Cui's family, there is also Cui Xiang, and finally you!" Liu Renliang's words completely pointed out the reason why he came to Li Xuan today.

On the official ship from Chang'an to Luoyang before, although Li Xuan did not make a clear encounter with Cui Zhiwen, in fact, both of them were inclined to believe that the emperor could not pass this pass, so they joined forces in various ways.

Later, because of this,

Liu Renliang warned seriously: "Your Majesty should still be suspicious, doubt whether you and Cui Xiang think the same way, if he calls Cui Xiang over and asks directly, what do you think Cui Xiang will say?" ”

"Cui Xianggang was dismissed from the Tongzhongshu Sect Pingzhang matter, and there is a cousin matter, Your Majesty urges, I'm afraid I won't say anything."

Li Xuan shook his head lightly, looked at Liu Renliang and said, "No one wants Your Majesty to be in good health, at least your grandson-in-law, and your grandson-in-law even hopes that Your Majesty can live a long life...... In fact, in the final analysis, if there was no Cui family and King Xiang, things would not have come to this point, and the son-in-law here is just on the defensive. ”

After a slight pause, Li Xuan smiled bitterly: "Grandson-in-law just saw through their thoughts, if it weren't for that, many things, Donggong would be much more passive." ”

"So Your Majesty is just suspicious, but if you act in the future, I am afraid that you will be more scrutinized by Your Majesty, and if you are a little surprised, the consequences will be unimaginable." Liu Renliang's face became solemn, looked at him, and said seriously: "Especially the affairs of the Zheng family, if you don't handle it well, Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven will have deep thoughts, and the consequences will be ......."

Li Xuan lifted the teapot, poured himself a cup, and then said calmly: "The matter of the Zheng family, in the final analysis, is just because of the death of Mrs. Tong'an, which has made the family feel uneasy, but if you analyze it carefully, it is just the Cui Lu Zheng family, and the rest, Your Majesty has already appeased and wooed you." ”

Xue Yuanchao was promoted to the right servant of Shangshu, Pei Yan was promoted to Zhongshu Ling, Wang Dezhen was promoted to Zhongzhong, and Liu Jingxian was promoted to Pingzhangshi with Zhongshumen, all of which were like this.

Hedong Xue's, Hedong Pei's, Jingzhao Wang's, Hebei's Liu's.

There are also the scholars of the Ministry of Rites who were waiting for the price before, Su Liangsi's criminal department squire, Su Gui's Zuo Shilangzhong, Du Xianyan's Zhongshu Sheren, and Yang Jiong's Hongwenguan bachelor.

Jingzhao Wei's, Wugong Su's, Jingzhao Du's, Hongnong Yang's, are all among them.

Cui Zhiwen was dismissed from the Tongzhongshu Sect Pingzhang, and Li Jingxuan was promoted to the crown prince and young master, this method of promoting openly and secretly making it difficult for the family to do anything more.

"The stalk of this matter is nothing more than two points, one is the private marriage contract between King Xiang and the Zheng family, because they want to join forces to compete for the Ministry of Rites, so they have that marriage contract, but after the failure of the battle for the Ministry of Rites, the King of Xiang and the Zheng family quickly broke off the relationship and no longer recognized the marriage contract, which the Zheng family must be dissatisfied with." Li Xuan said lightly one of the core issues of this matter.

Liu Renliang frowned and said: "What are you going to do, the marriage contract of the royal family, the world will pay attention to it." ”

"What to do?" Li Xuan smiled and said, "Didn't the Zheng family and the East Palace already have a marriage contract, Your Majesty said that it would be grander." ”

"You want to isolate the same line as the Duke of Anjun." Liu Renliang saw through Li Xuan's plan at a glance, and then said, "But what if they find the marriage book?" ”

"Fake, the real marriage book has been burned by my grandson-in-law, and any other marriage book that has been found is fake." Li Xuan looked up at Liu Renliang and said: "The Zheng family will be the master of the house in the future, it is Zheng Renshan's lineage, and the prince of Tong'an County will keep filial piety for three years, and after three years, if he wants to have a good position, he must be obedient." ”

"Aren't you afraid of him stumbling?" Liu Renliang frowned and said: "After all, he is a border general, and it is not a good thing to make a big fuss." ”

Li Xuan sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "Yue Weng, this matter is not trivial, because there is a second stalk in this matter, Mrs. Tong'an, after all, she is dead." ”

Liu Renliang raised his eyebrows, and his face suddenly became serious.

"In the final analysis, after all, on the night of Mrs. Tong'an's death, King Xiang was on Songshan Mountain, so there is naturally a suspicion, if this matter cannot be resolved, then the previous matter can be dealt with, and the mother's hatred is difficult to eliminate, and the hatred is difficult to eliminate." Li Xuan sighed.

If this hatred is not resolved, then Li Xuan can only support Zheng Renshan and fight with Zheng Rentai.

"This is what Your Majesty means, you have to eliminate the hatred in the heart of the Duke of Tong'an." Liu Renliang looked at Li Xuan deeply.

"It depends on Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, as well as how Qianniuwei investigates the case." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, his eyes full of worry.

The core of the Zheng family incident is the death of Mrs. Tong'an.

If it is related to the death of Mrs. An and the palace, then the matter will be in trouble.

If it has nothing to do with Mrs. An's position and the palace, but that night, Li Dan was Songshan after all, and Mrs. An might have gone to find Li Dan.

There must be a reasonable explanation for this matter, if the Zheng family believes that the Cui family, the wife of Tong'an, died at the hands of Li Dan, or even related to the Empress Wu, then the situation in the whole world will be turbulent.

"That's your problem, too." Liu Renliang shook his head calmly and said, "From tomorrow onwards, you will have to stay in the Zheng family and face all your doubts." ”

Li Xuan nodded solemnly, it was not easy to solve this problem.

Especially since he was making all of this happen, but the emperor wanted him to solve it single-handedly.

……

"Don't think about using a trouble-saving way, if something happens to Mrs. Tong'an, and if something happens to the prince of Tong'an, everyone in the world will be dissatisfied." Liu Renliang stood in front of the door and looked at Li Xuan deeply.

Li Xuan paused, then smiled bitterly and said: "Yue Weng rest assured, although Tong'an Jungong is the biggest problem, the grandson-in-law will not solve this problem by solving the people who have problems." ”

"That's fine." Liu Renliang stopped, looked at Li Xuan and said, "Give you a way, Cui Xiang and the officials will jointly deal with the matter of the imperial examination, which will be of great help to you to solve this matter." ”

Li Xuan raised her eyebrows, and then nodded slowly.
