[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 23 Sons and Daughters 04

"Ah?" Wu Xu was taken aback for a moment, and then realized who Li Sanlang was talking about: "Do you mean the real person?"

"He's quite capable..." As he said that, Wu Xuyou talked endlessly about Xiao Ming's illusion. It's really more exciting than watching magic tricks!

The more Li Sanlang listened, the more he frowned.

When Wu Xu finally stopped to take a breath, Li Sanlang said directly: "This person has a suspicious background, so we have to guard against it."

"Don't think too much, he is a descendant of the Ming family, and his background is fairly innocent." Wu Xu quickly waved his hands, but he didn't expect that Li Sanlang's attitude towards Daoist Xiaoming was similar to that of his family's Erlang.

In other words, when she was in Taishan back then, she heard that Erlang of his family wanted to buy murder to kill Daoist Xiaoming, but thanks to Dalang who stopped him, he didn't make it.

Now add another Li Sanlang, alas...

Wu Xu couldn't help but sweat for someone's life!

Li Sanlang saw Wu Xu facing Daoist Xiao Ming like this, and immediately fell silent.

Wu Xu's temperament seems to be quite soft, but if he really believes in one thing, he will definitely not hit the south wall and not look back.

Li Sanlang has always known her temperament, and he has no evidence to prove that this Mingren has some ulterior motives to get close to the Empress Dowager, especially some time ago, this person also offered medicine for the Emperor's dizziness, let's not talk about that Whether the medicine is right or not, just that the act of donating the medicine did not cause the impeachment of the court censor is enough to show that this person is in the heart of the emperor.

For Mr. Li, who has always been protective of food, it is obviously an unforgivable crime for a guy who suddenly appeared to snatch the favor of his empress.

However, Daoist Xiao Ming should feel lucky, at least he has not stepped into the officialdom, otherwise, with Mr. Li's temperament, he would have to be tortured to death.

Mr. Li worked in the Zichen Palace for a month and a half, guessing that His Majesty Li Xiaojiu was about to kill him, so he left immediately and went back.

The army of the Tubo expedition returned triumphantly this time, and the Datang government had already made preparations to reward them generously.

Due to the complicated situation in Tubo, Ren Yaxiang and Wang Xuance took the initiative to stay in Luoxie City to preside over the overall situation.The old land of Tuyuhun was temporarily taken over by the governor of Anxi Protectorate.

As for the original King Nuohebo of Tuyuhun, he was probably intimidated by the fighting power of the Tang Dynasty. Not only did he not talk nonsense about the ownership of the old land of Tuyuhun, he also offered to become a part of the empire, and the treatment was the same as that of Fu Yulong before. OK...

Although Nuo Hebo's move was suspected of being an afterthought, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu naturally agreed to his request for the sake of a smooth transition in the west.

From then on, Tuyuhun was subjugated and became a county of Datang.

As for Tubo, although Princess Wencheng and Mangsong Mangzan were brought back to Chang'an by Li Sanlang, some elders and nobles in the country were still fighting in their respective territories, and it would take some time to unify.

However, this is no longer a big deal...

In July of the seventh year of Xianqing, a grand welcome ceremony was held outside the Daming Palace in Chang'an to welcome Princess Wencheng, who had been married to Tubo for more than 20 years, to return to the Tang Dynasty for the sake of the safety of the Tang Dynasty.

Such a ceremony is definitely the first since Han.

Don’t you know how many princesses and barbarians can’t return to their homeland until they die...

Princess Wencheng, she made history again...

The envoy to welcome Princess Wencheng is her younger brother, Li Jingheng, the king of Lujun, the son of Jiangxia King Li Daozong.

When the siblings saw it, they couldn't care less about etiquette, and immediately cried.

At that time, Li Daozong was framed by the eldest grandson Wuji through the case of Gaoyang Princess' treason. Not only was he expelled from the clan, but the whole family was exiled.

Li Daozong was so angry that he died on the way to exile, and his eldest son Jingxuan also died of illness.

Li Jingheng, who was only 16 years old at the time, was the oldest man left in the Jiangxia palace. He had to take care of his seriously ill mother and several younger siblings while trying to find a way to survive. It was really miserable.

After finally waiting for Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang's group to fall, the benevolent His Majesty Li Xiaojiu has not forgotten them, and immediately recalled them from Lingnan to Chang'an.

Not only did his father Li Daozong and his elder brother restore their reputations, but even his second son, who was not qualified to inherit the title of county king, was also succeeded by Jia En as the county king.

The lineage of King Jiangxia was revitalized, and Li Jingheng became the loyal supporter of His Majesty the Emperor.

The only thing he cares about is probably the eldest sister who married Tubo...

And Princess Wencheng is far away in Tubo, so she is not ignorant of the affairs of Jiangxia Palace.

Father was slandered and treasonous, and died in anger...

Brothers and sisters were expelled from the clan and exiled to Lingnan...

Every piece of news broke her heart!

Fortunately, Songtsan Gampo didn't look down on her because of her natal family's decline, and even hinted at her, should she put pressure on the little emperor of Tang Dynasty for his father-in-law's unjust imprisonment?

In order to take the overall situation into consideration, Princess Wencheng did not agree to Songtsan Gampo.

However, the bad luck did not end there.

Just one month after Princess Wencheng learned of her father's death, a plague appeared in Tubo.

Songtsan Gampo's favorite son died of illness.

Songtsen Gampo, who was hit by the pain of losing his son, was also sick.

Despite the medical books and imperial physicians brought by the Tang Dynasty, Princess Wencheng still failed to save her husband's life.

Now, following the loss of her father and husband, she has lost her husband's country...

Before returning to Chang'an, Princess Wencheng kept asking herself.

Now that she doesn't even have a place to stay, what should she do in the future?

But when she got off the carriage and saw her younger brother who was already taller than her, she knew she didn't have to worry about anything!

Compared with the joy and tears on Princess Wencheng's side, Mansong Manzan's mood on the other side is really depressing.

The young Zanpu never imagined that he would become the eternal sinner who ruined the Tubo country!

Before, he and Zhengzan Zangdun led a [-]-strong military area to meet Su Dingfang, but they were attacked by the Nuohebo army who had been waiting halfway within three days after they left the city...

After that, the young and energetic Mangsong Mangzan easily fell into Tang Jun's trap, and ran into Xue Rengui's pocket formation after chasing Nuo Hebo's remnant army.

More than half of the [-] troops left in an instant.

If Zhengzan Zangdun hadn't taken him out of the encirclement immediately, he would probably have died there...

After that, they fled all the way, not to mention that Tang Jun couldn't find their traces, even Mansong Manzan's traces didn't know where they were going-it was Zhengzan Zangdun who was leading the way.

Until one day, Mansong Manzan found that they had reached the snow-capped mountains.

Zhengzan Zangdun told Mansong Mangzan that he had already contacted the king of Nipaluo Kingdom, and the other party had agreed to take in Mangsong Mangtsan, and he would stay in Tubo to stop the pursuers for Mangsong Mangtsan...

Yes, pursuers.

Although Mansong Mangzan didn't even see Tang Jun's shadow, he had completely believed Zhengzan Zangdun's words at this time.

Zhengzan Zangdun didn't lie to him, but King Nivala has already broken his promise!

In the end, Zhengzan Zangdun died and he was captured...

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty still looked very young, and he was as benevolent as the rumors said.

Just like Fuyu Yici back then, Mangsong Mangzan was made a marquis, given a mansion, and sent to Luoyang for a long-term residence.

But the unification battle of Tubo has only just begun.

When Wu Xu finished confinement, it was the period of Koshiro's full moon.

In order to celebrate Shiro's full moon, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu gave the world amnesty for three days.

In addition to rewarding civil and military officials, the system reform of the Tang Dynasty also officially kicked off this year...

In August of the seventh year of Xianqing, the Ersheng issued an order to set up the Imperial Academy and the University Hall in the eastern capital, recruit candidates from all over the country, and equip professors such as Chang'an Li.In the same month, Tianhou changed the titles of concubines in the harem, and changed the length of service of palace servants, which was reduced by one year compared with that in the early days of Xianqing.The emperor changed the old titles of the six departments of the three provinces and the names of hundreds of officials: Shangshu Province is Zhongtai, Menxia Province is Dongtai, Zhongshu Province is Xitai, Zuopushe is Zuokuangzheng, Zuocheng is Suji, Shizhong is Zuoxiang, and Zhongshuling For the right phase...

In October of the seventh year of Xianqing, Ren Yaxiang, the governor of Le'an County, died suddenly in Luoxie City. The remnants of Tubo colluded with the secret agents in the city, and knowing that Luoxie City was empty of troops, they even entangled 10 people to suddenly besiege the city.Deputy General Wang Xuance was ordered to defend the city with [-] soldiers and horses, and finally waited for Xue Rengui's reinforcements to turn defeat into victory.

In December of the seventh year of Xianqing, Xue Rengui's army wiped out the remnants of Tubo, and His Majesty Li Xiaojiu issued an edict to make Tubo the protectorate of Xifan, with Wang Xuance as the first governor.

At the same time, His Royal Highness's pre-concubine selection campaign has also begun in a hurry.

The candidates for the preliminary concubine who are shortlisted all have quite a lot of history, they are the daughters of the Cui family of Boling, the daughters of the Wei family of Jingzhao, the daughters of the Pei family of Jiangzhou, and the formerly favored Young Master Si Wei. Yang Shi, the daughter of Qing Yang Sijian, and Ren Shi, the granddaughter of the recently deceased Ren Yaxiang.

These young ladies are among the best among the unmarried young ladies in Chang'an City in terms of their origin, appearance, and temperament. No matter who they choose to be the crown princess, Li Hong will not be at a disadvantage.

This is also the result of Wu Xu, Li Xiaojiu, and the Yang family who were carefully selected from hundreds of candidates. There are many benefits to rebuilding the clan records, but it has brought them a lot of benefits in terms of marriage. Big inconvenience.Many newly promoted aristocratic families have no foundation at all, and they can't even compare with some Qingliu families in terms of upbringing. They actually want to send their young lady to the East Palace with a shy face?

It took nearly a month for Wu Xu and others to eliminate some candidates with no background.

With great difficulty, these five young ladies were selected. As a result, the youngest Ren family had to withdraw from the concubine selection list regrettably because of his grandfather's death.

"Aiya~~~ What a pity..." The Yang family is actually quite optimistic about this Ren family, even if she can't be a crown princess, being a good emperor is still very good.

Wu Xu breathed a sigh of relief, because that Mrs. Ren is only 12 years old this year, is there a young girl? !

She really didn't want her son to be a pedophile!

However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still doesn't know anything about choosing a concubine for him, because His Majesty Li Xiaojiu announced that a new Prince Sword will be built in the Eastern Capital.

Also going with him were Xiao Li Xianggong and Xu Yushi, the new Xianggong who succeeded Ren Yaxiang.

However, the cousin of the Wu family, who has always been inseparable from His Highness the Crown Prince, stayed behind to take charge of the guard work of the newly created Ersheng because of the reorganization of the forbidden army in Chang'an. At the same time, his marriage is also in the intense preparation stage.

Xu Xianggong obviously loves Wu Minzhi's character very much, and he has already acquiesced in the marriage, and now he is just about to follow the procedure...
