It's stupid to express your opinion casually. It's none of your business, hang high, if you want to mix in officialdom for a long time, you must know the truth of self-preservation.

Just like the question in front of him, Ren Zhen doesn't need to talk too much, because no matter what he says, he will offend people.

If he said that he could let King Yong leave, it would be tantamount to supporting King Yong and offending King Liang; On the contrary, they will support King Liang and offend King Yong.

Both sides are tigers and wolves, but their external performance is different, as long as it does not involve vital interests, why should Ren really offend them?

When the empress heard his answer, she understood that he didn't want to get involved, but she didn't intend to follow his wishes, "It's just for you to talk about things, and you don't need to know more about the situation." ”

"This ......," Ren Zhen's face hesitated.

The empress smiled and said, "If you understand the situation, there is a possibility of favoritism, and I won't ask you." It is precisely because you are an outsider that I want to hear from you. ”

Of course, Ren Zhen understood the meaning of her words, but he had to pretend to have a blank expression.

"Say it."

Ren Zhen was helpless, so he had to say: "The minister doesn't know much about King Yong, but he just saw the prince washing his face with tears, which is quite pitiful." Or...... will fulfill his filial piety and allow King Yong to return to his hometown after illness? ”

King Yong is not crazy, the yin owl is terrible, Ren Zhen's impression of him is not good, but his impression of King Liang is even worse, plus his injury was originally stabbed by Ren Zhen, if he has to express his position, Ren Zhen would rather return him a favor.

The empress was noncommittal, overlooking Gao Ji who was kneeling under the hall, and said indifferently: "Blowing water is soft-hearted, how can I be a ruthless person?" According to your father, do you want to go back to Beihai to heal? ”

Her voice was very soft, but when it reached the ears of the ministers, it exploded like thunder, making them terrified.

When you return to your hometown, you will naturally return to your hometown.

Where is King Yong's hometown? It is Beihai County, where the old royal family Gao family was born, and where the ancestral tomb of the Gao family is located.

In the turbulent times of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Northern Tang Dynasty was only one of the parallel dynasties, and it was all in Beihai. Later, when the north was unified, Gao Jue moved the capital to the south and moved to the current Chang'an, and the scale of Beihai gradually declined.

After Gao Jue's death, he was nicknamed Emperor Taizu for the territory of the Northern Dynasty, but this does not mean that he is the only emperor in the history of the Northern Tang Dynasty, on the contrary, the Beihai Gao family has an extremely long history.

After Empress Wu Qingyi succeeded to the throne, although the imperial surname was easier to be martial, she did not blatantly usurp the throne, and still maintained enough respect for the old royal family, the Gao family, and did not dare to make a big move against Beihai County.

Therefore, Beihai, governed by the Gao family, has always been the base camp of the conservative old forces. At that time, the copywriting that shocked the world broke out in Beihai Academy, which shows the aspirations of the local people.

Therefore, the empress's question seems to be indifferent, but it reveals a very strong murderous intent.

Letting King Yong return to Beihai is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, providing him with an opportunity to gather the old troops and raise troops to attack the army. How could the empress not know this, she casually mentioned Beihai, which was to test Gao Ji's mind.

Once Goki doesn't answer well, it will lead to ruin.

Ren Zhen's head tightened.

He wanted to kill the empress, but in his bones he was still more inclined to return to the Gao family, and he couldn't help but sweat for Gao Ji.

Gao Ji raised his hand and wiped away his tears, his eyes red.

"My father said that there were too many acquaintances in Beihai, and he was afraid that it would disturb his purity, and it was not interesting to go back. He heard that Nanxi Mountain is cool all year round, which is conducive to relieving back injuries, so he wanted to go there. ”

When Ren Zhen heard this, his brows furrowed unconsciously. His mind was in a hurry, and he vaguely felt that this matter was not simple, but he couldn't find anything wrong, and he felt a little strange.

"That's it......" The empress is dark, the North Sea is in the north, Nanxi Mountain is in the south, if King Yong is unpredictable, this move is tantamount to going from the south to the north, and getting farther and farther away from the nest.

It doesn't hurt.

Ren Zhen thought of something, and said with a smile: "King Yong will really enjoy happiness, and he chose a misty fairyland to be a master." It's a pity that he was born in the emperor's family, and he couldn't break free from the world's fetters after all. ”

Goki lowered his head, his pupils contracted suddenly, and he forcibly restrained his trembling body. He realized that this water blowing marquis had seen through the mystery.

The corners of the empress's mouth twitched, "Blowing Shuihou's words, isn't it that he is mocking my small belly and chicken intestines, and refusing to fulfill a seriously injured person?" ”

Ren Zhen bowed, with a smile on his face, "The minister doesn't dare." ”

The empress waved her hand, "That's it, you're not wrong, King Yong's temperament is really not suitable to be a prince and princess, so let him go to the mountains to be an idle cloud and wild crane!" ”

Hearing this, Gao Ji hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

When he turned around and walked outside the hall, he glanced at Ren Zhen deeply, his eyes were complicated.

There are fears, doubts, and more gratitude.

The empress no longer paid attention to this stubble and stood up, "The army is about to go on the march, and we will have to discuss the battle plan later, so let's discuss it here first!" ”

As she walked to the side of the hall, she said, "Cai Jiushi, Xiahou Chun, follow me to the imperial study." ”

Obviously, these two people will not be able to go home, and they will have to attend the next combat meeting.

Ren Zhen's face was full of bitterness, so he had to follow.

Enough happened early in the morning, but I didn't expect the next thing to be the main event.

When the three of them walked into the imperial study, there were already two people waiting here.

The empress's most trusted two.

Wen has Yuan Benxi, and Wu has Xiao Yeyu.

As long as these two people are around, her throne is as secure as a rock.

The Empress sat down in front of the large bookcase, ordered the inner supervisor to give her a seat, and her eyes had already fallen on the map laid out in front of her.

The ink lines are vertical and horizontal, all of which are the North Tangshan River.

It is also the battlefield of this north-south contest.

The empress didn't speak, and when it came, Yuan Benxi spoke first and looked at Ren Zhen, "Senior brother is so eloquent." ”

He is clothed and does not have any official rank, so it is inconvenient for him to appear in the court. But every time in the early dynasty, he sat with Xiao Yeyu in the screen behind the empress.

The two can not only protect the safety of the empress, but also gain insight into the situation of the court behind the scenes.

Ren Zhen bowed his head, "Your Majesty trusts." ”

Xiao Yeyu snorted coldly, this was the second time the two met. The first time, it was very unpleasant.

"Is it a Confucian sword practitioner, or is it miscellaneous but not refined?"

Ren Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, "In the same realm, you might as well give it a try." ”

As long as the two sides suppress the realm, Ren Zhen is confident that he will knock Xiao Tieyu down within fifty rounds.

Xiao Tieyu raised his eyebrows, and was about to respond, but was stopped by the empress, "My own people, what is there to fight?" ”

In her eyes, the most trustworthy people at the moment are these three people. Although she has a short relationship with Ren Zhen, so far, Ren Zhen's actions are in line with her intentions, and she can't see the slightest selfishness and evil intentions.

Having a big picture, big ambitions, and ability, this is what she says about him. Therefore, let it be left to the table for the time being, and wait and see the after-effects.

Xiahou Chun was silent, pinched his sweat, how could he intervene here.

Yuan Benxi stared at Xiahou Chun and spoke again, his expression unwavering.

"As the boss, how do you want to play?"
