"What my sister said is extremely true, extremely ......"

Zhang An didn't expect to be seen through by his sister so easily, although he had the idea of using power for personal gain in his heart, he didn't feel scared at all, because although his sister was cruel to outsiders, she loved them very much.

The truth was as Zhang An expected, Queen Zhang only tapped him a few times with her finger, and sighed lightly with hatred.

"Now is the most important time, you two brothers must twist into a rope, put all your strength in one place, let King Ding inherit the crown prince, as long as this is the case, our Zhang family can keep safe for thirty years!"

Dingwang Li Tong is the youngest son of Empress Zhang and Li Heng, the elder brother in front of him, there are many people who are young and strong, it is said that he will not be able to take his turn, not to mention, the power and influence of the abolished prince Li Yu have not been completely eradicated, so Li Tong must be allowed to ascend to the throne of the crown prince as soon as possible, and then she can continue her plan.

At this time, Zhang Qing, who had not spoken for a long time, finally opened his mouth.

"Sister, Pei Jing has a reply!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately attracted the attention of Empress Zhang and Zhang An, and both of them looked at each other in unison. Empress Zhang leaned forward even more nervously and asked:

"But, yes?"

"Pei Jing is an old fox, and there is no definite recovery, but he has agreed to close Tongguan and cut off the traffic inside and outside the pass!"

Zhang An immediately slapped his thigh and said with a smile:

"The old fox wants to have two ends of the rat's head, how can he let him get his wish? Third brother, it's time for you to use your counter-plot!"

Zhang Qing still had an indifferent expression, and said lightly:

"Needless to say, from the very beginning, there was no turning back for him!"

Seeing that his brother was selling Guanzi, Zhang An said a few words impatiently, and complained to Queen Zhang:

"Sister look at him, it's like this every time, and he can't finish his words neatly!"

While the three sisters and brothers were discussing, a palace man cautiously came in from outside the hall.

"Her Royal Highness the Queen, the general asks to see you!"

The faces of the three sisters and brothers flashed with a hint of displeasure or disgust at the same time, and the general in the palace mouth was referring to Li Fuguo, the general of the dragon and tiger. Li Fuguo, as the accomplice of their mutiny, should have been taken seriously, but the Zhang siblings had long seen through the temperament of this eunuch, and they would only be attached to the strong, and swayed in the wind like grass on the wall, and they would bite from behind like vicious dogs at any time.

Li Fuguo and Li Yu were originally allies, but they turned against each other at a critical moment, making Li Yu's achievements fall short, he was kicked out of Chang'an City, and he lost the position of crown prince. Think about it, how is cooperating with such a person different from seeking skin with a tiger?

"Sister, what is this eunuch doing in the middle of the night? It's better to refuse him, and it's not too late to come back tomorrow!"

Zhang An made no secret of his dislike for Li Fuguo, but was immediately stopped by Zhang Qing.

"No, Li Fuguo has military power in his hands, there must be something important to ask for a meeting late at night, if he refuses, it is tantamount to implying that he wants to turn his face with him, he has military power in his hand, and now is still the best time not to turn his face with him!"

Empress Zhang nodded approvingly:

"The third brother is right, everything must be the crown prince of Dingwang, let him in!"

After a while, Li Fuguo hurriedly appeared in front of the three Zhang sisters and brothers. And when he came, there was indeed something to say that it was not a big deal, and that it was not a small matter.

"The old slave's subordinates found out that Zheng Xianli, the weapons supervisor, entered Jingzhao Mansion at night, which seems to have bad intentions!"

"Weapons Supervisor?"

Zhang An was a little surprised, and thought that Li Fuguo was joking, could a mere ordnance supervisor use such a mobilization to ask to see him overnight? However, Zhang Qing looked nervous and asked in a hurried tone:

"This ordnance supervisor is Feng Changqing's old department, and the Zheng Xianli who followed Qin Jin all the way from Xin'an to Chang'an?"

Li Fu National Road:

"That's the man!"

Knowing the details of this person, the Zhang sisters and brothers were shocked, but Zhang An still had some doubts:

"Since this person has such a deep relationship with Qin Jin, why did he only become an ordnance supervisor?"

He was quite familiar with Zheng Xianli's name, because there was this person's name in the current life list of the officials of the Shenwu Military Department, even if he was unusual, he only became a general of Zuo Wuwei from the fourth rank. Compared with those cronies around Qin Jin, who were either in the position of a general or became the envoy of the festival on the side of the town, this person was really too low-key.

Li Fuguo shook his head and said:

"As far as the old slave knows, it is precisely because of the importance that Qin Jin let Zheng Xianli sit in the position of the weapons supervisor for three years. ”

Empress Zhang was also very surprised, when they analyzed Qin Jin's arms and cronies, they only focused on Lu Qi, Pei Jing, and Yang Xingben, and even Chen Qianli, who was the least popular with Qin Jin, had carefully studied it, but they never took this person named Zheng Xianli into their sight.

"Please tell the general in more detail, why does Qin Jin attach importance to him and let him be a petty official like the Weapons Supervisor?"

Li Fuguo's face showed a sinister smile and said:

"In the first year of Germany, the thieves besieged Chang'an City, and Guanzhong was burned and looted by the thieves and rebels...... Naturally, the Arms Superintendent indirectly has the authority to distribute weapons, and to this day, the Son of Heaven has never canceled this measure!"

Hearing this, the Zhang brothers and sisters suddenly realized that no matter how powerful the Shenwu Army is, it has always relied on the weapons supervised by the Ordnance Supervisor, and such an important position naturally has to be guarded by people who rely on it.

Moreover, what is even more rare is that Zheng Xianli has sat in the position of the ordnance supervisor for three years, and he has no complaints, this kind of talent is the most unpredictable, if it were not for Li Fuguo's mouth to learn about these things, I am afraid they would never have imagined that Qin Jin's intentions were so deep.

With a snap, Zhang An slapped the case in front of him.

"What is Qin Jin going to do? If you have the military power, you still have to master the arsenal? If you continue like this, won't you become the second An Lushan?"

"Third brother be cautious!"

Empress Zhang reprimanded mercilessly, when there are only three of them, it doesn't matter if they complain like this, although Li Fuguo is an ally with them, but this person's scheming is too unpredictable, how can he be so open-mouthed in front of this person?

Li Fuguo also echoed Empress Zhang, saying:

"What His Royal Highness said is very true, after all, Qin Jin is leading the troops outside, and he can't easily tear his face with him, with what the old slave sees, it is better to appease him......!

At this point, he paused, as if to phrase something, but with some hesitation.

Zhang An was dismissed in public, and he was already a little impatient, but seeing that Li Fuguo had not followed for a long time, he couldn't help but say:

"It's just a military supervisor, just a crime and a killing, who can criticize it?"

"It's not right!"

Without waiting for others to speak, Li Fuguo took the lead in jumping out to express his opposition, his bottom line in this kind of thing cannot be challenged, because once Qin Jin is offended to death, there will be no good results in the current situation. And Li Yu's escape, and Li Fuguo's intentional or unintentional release of water is not unrelated, after how many years of political struggle in the Tang Dynasty, he has already understood the essentials, if he has no ability to kill them all, then there must be leeway, otherwise how do you know that he will not die without a place to be buried?

It's just that this kind of thought, he can't say it directly to the three Zhang sisters and brothers, because their goals are different, and the ultimate goal is to make King Li Tong win the position of the Son of Heaven.

Zhang An stared, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction.

"General Dragon and Tiger, when has it been, do you still have illusions about Qin Jin? Don't daydream, drive away Mrs. Li Yu's grudges, he will definitely remember a copy on your head." ”

Li Fuguo spread his hands and said with a wry smile:

"The old slave and His Highness are now grasshoppers tied to the same rope, how can they have two hearts? The general must not have wronged the old slave! Otherwise, why would the old slave come to see His Highness in the middle of the night?"

"Okay, don't fight anymore, the general's loyalty is obvious to all, and I absolutely believe that he is out of loyalty. As for the official named Zheng Xianli, I don't think it is appropriate to act rashly at this time, send more people, and pay close attention to it, if this person really has any outrageous behavior, then he will be punished!"

"Your Highness Shengming, the old slave respectfully obeys the order!"

Empress Zhang nodded with satisfaction.

"Pei Jing has promised me that before the selection of the crown prince is established, the internal and external traffic of Tongguan will be cut off, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave at will. General Longhu thinks that which prince should be established as the crown prince to benefit the future generations of my Tang Dynasty?"

Do you still need to think about this kind of question? Li Fuguo immediately replied and bowed his head:

"King Ding is very intelligent, he is famous at a young age, and he is the best candidate for the crown prince!"

This night really decided the fate of too many people, and the entire Chang'an City seemed to have a premonition, and there was an uneasy mood everywhere.

And this uneasy mood soon dissipated with the rising of the sun, a round of red sun faintly jumped out in the white sky of the fish's belly, the cold dew of late autumn began to dissipate, the iron-armored soldiers on the wall of the capital division remained immovable, and the dew drops rolled down along the armor leaves.

It's a new dawn again, and it's time to turn day and night, since Doctor Qin led the whole city to defeat the thieves and rebels, the injured Guanzhong land has healed and recovered in this increasingly calm day, although this scar can not be healed in a short time, but everything is developing on the good side after all.

Suddenly, a soldier stared wide and pointed to the northwest, and stammered:

"Look, look there, there's, there's cavalry!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looked westward, and sure enough, they saw clouds of smoke and dust billowing up, and a cavalry in black clothes and black armor was rushing over at an alarming speed.

The captain on duty did not dare to slack off after receiving the report, and went to the city to observe carefully for a while, and his face suddenly turned gray to the ground.

"Yes, it's the Tubo people! The cavalry of the Tubo people! The enemy attacked ......."

The bell of the enemy attack warning soon rang, and in an instant, it spread throughout the entire Chang'an City......
