In fact, what Li Chen was thinking about was very simple.

She was thinking that she would take advantage of her mother's opportunity to clean up Junchen and others in the future. She feels that she has not been able to start and finish many things well, such as Li Jingye, why can't she use it?

At the beginning, Pei Yan was disposed of by his mother, although Cheng Wuting was Pei Yan's best friend, but because the news was delivered in time, Di Renjie intercepted Cheng Wuting's intercession for Pei Yan in time and did not hand it over, and Cheng Wuting preserved his current status.

Li Chen smiled and said to Song Jing: "I'm thinking, what my mother hopes most is to ascend to the throne in the name of God, and for her, her reputation before ascending the throne is very important. I'm thinking, if my mother knew at this time that even if Lai Junchen and these people were eradicating dissidents for her, they were also holding her back in reputation, what would be the consequences of Lai Junchen? “

Song Jing looked at Li Chen with some confusion.

Li Chen: "I've been wondering what the New Deal is like all these years. The new deal I hope for is to hope that the imperial power will be more centralized, but if my mother ascends the throne, it is absolutely impossible for the imperial power to be more centralized. ”

Song Jing was silent, he probably understood what Li Chen meant. She is indifferent to the changes of the royal family now, maybe she has other plans, but she really wants to deal with them when she comes to Junchen. The Queen Mother is now energetic and bent on ascending to the throne, so she will disperse the power of these royal clansmen, and may even exterminate them, but at the same time, she will also promote a large number of people who can be used by her, and this group of people will become the new upstarts of the court.

Now the Queen Mother has repeatedly reformed the imperial examination, and even has martial arts, in order to promote a large number of poor children of the people. These children of the poor family have no foundation in the court, they all rely on their ability, once they enter the court, they can rely on the queen mother who promoted them, but in this way, the power of the court will be more dispersed.

And Li Chen seems to be happy to see the power dispersed more in the hands of these court nouveau riche, rather than among the former royal family and old nobles.

But her hope is contrary to the New Deal she talked about.

Because Li Chen once told him that he hoped that the imperial power could be highly centralized, so as to avoid the situation that Li Xian was deposed by Pei Yan, the minister of Gu Ming, and the queen mother. Song Jing agrees and disagrees with Li Chen's idea, but after thinking about it, since the Queen Mother interfered in politics, the government has been chaotic, maybe the high concentration of imperial power will avoid such chaos, but what if the king is mediocre? Wouldn't it be worse if there was no one to check the king's power?

Li Chen: "Actually, you don't need to think too much about Guangping, the so-called new deal is just an idea of mine." If you can't meet Mingjun, the new deal is just a fantasy, and naturally you won't do it. But if he has to meet Mingjun, and the new policy can help him create a prosperous world, why not? ”

The implication is that what she has been thinking about for so long is only in the stage of imagination.

Li Chen looked at Song Jing's speechless appearance, and said with a smile: "I always feel that the British Duke is inevitably having a □□ time at this time." Li Jingye has lived without wind and waves all these years, and it is time to do something.

Song Jing was expressionless: "Oh, the princess is going to see the British princess in private again?" ”

Li Chen smiled very brightly, "Why did you go to meet the British Duke in private?" I plan to go to the White Horse Temple to offer incense, ask my mother for some instructions, and then let the British public escort go. ”

Since the princess said she was going to do this, what could the colt say?

Just when the princess and the concubine were talking about these seemingly marginal topics, Wei Suiliang was whispering to Wu Chenghe, who was now the third grade of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and Zhongshu. Now Wu Chengsi is busy creating auspicious rui for the Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother can justifiably return to the throne of God, but at this time, Wei Suiliang, who was good friends with Lai Junchen, came to ask for a meeting, and also brought the news that Lai Junchen planned to frame him and his cousin Wu Sansi for rebellion.

Wu Chengsi was shocked at first, but after being shocked, he looked at Wei Suiliang in disbelief.

Wei Suiliang smiled bitterly: "I know that I can't win the trust of Zhou Guogong, but what I say is true. ”

Wu Chengsi glanced at him and remained silent.

Wei Suiliang arched his hand and continued: "Zhou Guogong probably also knew that the wife of Lai Junchen hanged herself because she offended her with some impulsive words. Although he told me that brothers are like siblings, but he is ruthless and does not recognize his relatives, I should always plan for myself. ”

Wu Chenghe: "But how do I know if what you say is true or false?" ”

Wei Suiliang showed a rather helpless smile on his face, and then took out a copy of "Luo Weaving Sutra" and handed it to Wu Chenghe.

Wu Chengsi looked at Wei Suiliang coldly, and then opened the book of "Luo Weaving Sutra", and before he finished it, a layer of cold sweat had already appeared on his back.

Wei Suiliang carefully looked at Wu Chengsi's face, and said very carefully: "This is a booklet compiled by Lai Junchen on how to extract confessions and make answers, so there is never a case he handles that cannot be solved. ”

Because Lai Junchen believes that people will have the courage not to be afraid of death, but they will not be able to endure pain. So he took how to torture people, so that people can't survive and die, these tortures are taken to the extreme, and all the "prisoners" who have been forced to confess by him only want to die quickly in the end, so there is no one who does not bow down and confess.

Wei Suiliang also knew that Wu Chengsi might not necessarily believe him, but as long as he was a human being, after seeing Junchen's set of methods, there was no one who would not be afraid.

If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens.

If Wu Chenghei is a naturally loyal person, he would rather bend than bend.

But he wasn't.

Everyone knows that Wu Chengsi is not a hard bone, and Wu Zetian was unavailable back then, so he and Wu Sansi and others were recalled from Lingnan. He can be regarded as having suffered a lot in Lingnan, and now that he is finally prosperous and rich, how can he be willing to let Lai Junchen destroy it?

Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi both understood that they had today, but they also relied on their aunt Wu Zetian.

If Wu Zetian suspected that they had different intentions...... Wu Chenghe's brows furrowed.

The Queen Mother got a picture of God in Luoshui, saying that the sky was auspicious, saying that she would come to Luoshui to worship the sky in person, and thanked God for giving her a picture review. After the Queen Mother sacrificed to the heavens, she also planned to accept the worship of civil and military officials in the Ming Hall, so she asked the governors of all states to participate in the assassination, as well as the relatives of the royal family.

After the order of the Queen Mother was issued, there was a lot of discussion in the court.

Although the order has been issued, it is still a few months before the Queen Mother's sacrifice. But the Queen Mother's words stirred up a thousand waves, and the people naturally didn't feel anything, the court was very far away from them, as long as they had no wind and waves, and they could eat and sleep well, they could say anything. The key is that after hearing the order of the Queen Mother, some of the forces on all sides can no longer hold back.

Li Jingye was accompanying Li Chen to offer incense in the White Horse Temple at this time.

Speaking of which, Li Jingye has not had such close contact with this little princess for a long time. His eyes were locked on the slender figure in the Buddhist hall, and she put the princess's guard of honor out with such fanfare, and specially pointed out that he was going to escort him. Li Jingye inevitably remembered that a few years ago, when the first emperor had not yet died, she also put on the princess's guard of honor like this, asking him to escort him to Buxian Garden. Then the little princess was in the garden of envy and asked him if he would be of her use.

Regarding Li Chen's question, Li Jingye has always avoided it, and he is unwilling to think about it. It wasn't until later that he received a handwritten letter from Li Xian on the frontier. Li Xian didn't say much in the letter, only said that he was in a difficult situation now, but he could stay in Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, Princess Yongchang was a credible person, let him obey the princess's arrangement, and don't go his own way.

Although Li Jingye did not want to see women in politics, he had to admit in his heart that over the years, whether it was him or Cheng Wuting, he could not get rid of Li Chen unharmed.

He didn't know how much Li Chen had done from it, but he thought that maybe it was much more than he imagined.

Li Jingye was thinking about it, Li Chen had finished the incense and stepped out of the Buddhist hall. She just came out of the Buddha Hall, and Xue Huaiyi, the host of the White Horse Temple, who is now being appreciated by the Queen Mother, has already greeted her, smiling politely and courteously: "The eldest princess came to the temple today to offer incense, which is really the supreme glory of the White Horse Temple." ”

Li Chen clasped his hands together, saluted Xue Huaiyi back, and said with a smile: "Master Xue's words are serious, the Queen Mother handed over the task of rebuilding the Ming Hall to Master Xue earlier, which shows that Master Xue is not only boundless in Buddhism, but also knows about architecture." Dare to ask Master Xue, when will the Ming Hall be built? ”

Xue Huaiyi heard Li Chen's words and said with a smile: "The princess is serious, and the monk just hopes to share the worries of the queen mother." When the Queen Mother sacrifices to the sky, the Ming Hall will be built. The monk's other cannot be guaranteed, but it can definitely allow the queen mother to accept the worship of 10,000 people in the Ming Hall. ”

Li Jingye heard Xue Huaiyi's words and glanced sideways at him. After years of experience, Li Jingye has long practiced the ability to be invisible, and when he heard Xue Huaiyi's words at this time, his heart was uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything.

Speaking of which, Li Chen also admires his mother very much. In fact, earlier, my father also wanted to rebuild the Ming Hall, and gathered a bunch of literati to discuss what the Ming Hall was like, and those Confucian scribes argued every day about how the roof should and should not be, how many pillars should be needed, and so on.

Now that she has arrived at her mother, she wants to realize the idea of the Son of Heaven sitting in the Ming Hall, so how the Ming Hall should be built, how the roof is and what the pillars are, all of which are decided by her, and then handed over to Xue Huaiyi to preside over the construction.
