"You've served me very well."

It's such an ambiguous teasing, but this coquettish girl is indeed a pun.

With the strength of wine, she is not embarrassed, but the embarrassment can only be Li Ran.

"Auntie, there's someone watching outside."

Pulling open the curtain of the carriage, the attendant one meter away turned his head in an instant, wanting to cover up the action.

"Heh, let them see, what we do in Chang'an can be seen by everyone in the world."

Princess Taiping's eyes were blurred, and there was a shrewdness in her eyes that was not commensurate with drunkenness.

Not far away, Pei Donglai's neck shrunk, pretending not to hear anything.

“…… Auntie, Master Pei is also protecting you. ”

"Do I need it? I don't believe what the Mother will do to me! ”

She was hard-mouthed and a little stubborn, and she was extremely dissatisfied with Pei Donglai's announcement.

The overkill comment is very harsh, and Dali Temple dares to take care of her, the number one royal relative?

"Auntie, Master Pei is also on orders, besides, the benefits you should take are not a lot at all."

Li Ran smiled and corrected Pei Donglai's name.

He fished in troubled waters, and Princess Taiping did not suffer a loss, and all the silver collected from the big merchant was put into the treasury, and the cronies in charge of Chang'an's finances arranged by her immediately gained a firm foothold.

However, the final decision is still in Wu Zetian's hands.

How much of the benefits you have to spit out in Chang'an depends on each other's game methods.

When I thought about it, the outline of Luoyang City was already far away.

Princess Taiping kept entering the palace to meet her, Wu Zetian had long wanted to preach about this troublesome daughter, and in the imperial study, the two mothers were holding back a breath of anger, which made Li Ran so embarrassed.

Obviously the two most powerful women in the world, how can they talk, no different from the lady who sells vegetables in the market, what about the aristocratic lady who is good?

"Mother Emperor, I found out in Chang'an that the local government used power to form a gang for personal gain, I couldn't be angry, so I cleaned them up, and it was also to revitalize the local court, why did my mother listen to the villain's slander, but arranged me?"

Princess Taiping was coquettish with resentment, as if she had been greatly wronged, her eloquence was very good, and she beautified what she did in Chang'an to be comparable to a tenth-level beauty, as if she was incarnated as a famous face through the ages.

Not only that, but there are also dry goods on hand...... How much fertile land she cultivated during her time in Chang'an, and how much extra taxes she collected for the government, the data is true and reliable, and it is very convincing.

“…… Taiping, it's not for my mother to say you, even if there is a problem with the government in Chang'an, you shouldn't be in a hurry and make people complain. ”

Wu Zetian saw that she was going to cry or not, and his heart suddenly softened.

Li Ran instantly envied, jealous and hated...... The daughter is really a little padded jacket, as long as you are sure that Taiping has no intention of rebellion, no matter how big a mistake can be forgiven, compared to the old man Li Xian, it is like a child picked up in the garbage heap.

"My mother always taught us to be vigorous and resolute in doing things, and since I have found a problem, how can I see it pleasing to the eye."

Princess Taiping accepted it when she saw it, prostrate on Wu Zetian's knees, obediently like a Persian cat, and said softly, "Mother, it's better to take this opportunity to rectify the official style of Chang'an City." ”

"Don't talk about this, you have to tell me, why did you leave Luoyang without permission but didn't report to me?"

When it came to personnel rights, Wu Zetian snorted, and Li Ran's heart suddenly brightened, she really didn't want to admit the appointment order of Princess Taiping in Chang'an.

"Brother Ran invited me to go."

Princess Taiping sold Li Ran in an instant, and with a glance, the implication was very obvious...... Don't be stunned to watch the play, hurry up and pour ecstasy soup.

“…… To repair the mausoleum, it must conform to feng shui, the emperor is a woman, and there must be a noble woman praying for blessing and auspiciousness at the mausoleum, so that it can be smooth. ”

With a serious nonsense, Li Ran took a step forward, "The only one who meets the conditions in the court is the princess." ”

“…… Then, how did you do the matter of repairing the mausoleum? ”

Wu Zetian nodded slightly, picked up the teacup with his hand, and pecked lightly.

"The address has been found, and the migrant workers have been ordered to break ground."

When Li Ran saw that the teacup was not filled with tea, but bubbling Coke, a subtle smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.

It seems that when he was in Chang'an, his father-in-law implemented the strategy of "eating, drinking and having fun" to the letter, and the effect was remarkable.

When he was asking, the eunuch outside the palace hurriedly came to report, saying that King Liang asked to see him.

Li Ran and Princess Taiping instantly came to the spirit...... The Lord is here!

Obviously, the two of them just entered the palace with their front feet, and Wu Sansi came to see them with their back feet, how could there be such a coincidence in the world, and the one who came was not good.

Wu Zetian hesitated slightly, with her political level, she naturally knew the intention of King Liang.

“…… Declare. ”

After a while, Wu Sansi walked in and bowed.

"Excuse me, think twice, what are you asking to see me?"

Knowingly asked, Wu Sansi knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask the emperor to retry the case of Chang'an assassin Shi Zheng Su and his subordinate officials for dereliction of duty and corpse vegetarian meal!" ”

went straight to the point with a single knife, and did not give Princess Taiping face at all.

The eight words 'dereliction of duty, corpse vegetarian meal' are exactly the original words that Princess Taiping reported to Wu Zetian.

Princess Taiping's face suddenly sank, "Why did King Liang say this?" What Zheng Su did in Chang'an made people angry and resentful, and he should be beheaded according to the law! ”

The two are directly on the line, this surnamed Zheng is the most important confidant of King Liang in Chang'an, and Princess Taiping is willing to give up the benefits of her official position, and the contradiction is irreconcilable.

The boat of friendship is overturned, with a nephew on one side and a daughter on the other, Wu Zetian looked at the two of them, and his eyes suddenly fixed on Li Ran.

"Li Ran, when Zheng Su arrived in Luoyang, he said that you were killed by the rebels in Chang'an City, why is this?"

Brother Guan's...... was named without warning, Li Ran shook his head and said, "The minister doesn't know, the minister is doing well in Chang'an, mutiny or something, it's unheard of, perhaps, Zheng Su has paranoia." ”

King Liang's face suddenly sank, and he did not hesitate to cast a jealous gaze.

Li Ran's words are equivalent to directly pronouncing Zheng Su's death sentence.

In the past, he helped Li Xian win the position of the crown prince, but now he has damaged his henchmen, new hatred and old hatred, Wu Sansi directly regarded Li Ran as a thorn in his side, the kind that is faster than that.

"In this case, tomorrow morning, Zheng Su will be brought out of prison and punished for dereliction of duty, corpse vegetarian meal, and gossip to confuse the public."

Wu Zetian's eyes were cold, and he characterized the case.

"In the future, don't mention this matter again, think twice, Taiping, don't hurt your peace because of such villains."

The subtext is very clear, this matter has been revealed, and whoever makes trouble again will not give her face.

"Yes, Mother!"

Princess Taiping nodded immediately, anyway, she didn't suffer.

Wu Sansi also died down, but his words changed, "Your Majesty, since Zheng Yu is guilty of crimes, then the emperor has a favorite candidate for the position of Chang'an Assassin History?" ”

Obviously, he wants Princess Taiping to spit out the benefits in her hands!

"Why don't you know the morning of the day, after the hundred officials deliberate, the emperor will decide."

What a thoughtful suggestion, Wu Zetian laughed when he heard this, "Okay, tomorrow morning, we will discuss this matter." ”

In the midst of laughter, Princess Taiping clenched her teeth, and her eyes were about to burst into flames.

"Don't worry, tomorrow, we'll be stable."

Li Ran quietly pulled her sleeve and smiled.
