"Niangniang, did you arrange for Xiao Lizi to go to the Queen Mother?"

Xiao Lizi's arrogant attitude angered the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother ordered the plough Wantang to strangle Xiao Lizi, and this matter soon reached Hu Lanhua's ears, so she quickly came to talk to Tang Qi.

Tang Qi sat in the Tingfeng Pavilion, leaning on the beauty, looking at the lotus pond with a sideways face, and said in a flat tone: "I have already found out that Xiao Lizi is a secret pile arranged by Kong Jingzhong next to Gonggong Huang. Kong Jingzhong refused to betray Xiao Lizi until he died, and Xiao Lizi thought he was safe. ”

Tang Qi can't listen to this sentence directly, otherwise he will be confused.

For example, "Kong Jingzhong refused to betray Xiao Lizi until he died", this sentence was used to deceive Xiao Lizi.

And the exposure of Xiao Lizi's identity is actually the result of Kong Jingzhong's confession.

Hu Lanhua has been following Tang Qi for a long time, and she has become accustomed to Tang Qi's routine when she speaks, and at the same time, she also knows that Xiao Lizi was indeed deliberately sent by Tang Qi to the Queen Mother to let the Queen Mother kill him.

But why was Xiao Lizi so arrogant when he talked to the Queen Mother, Tang Qi didn't say.

But through these, Hu Lanhua has already felt that Xiao Lizi's arrogance comes from Tang Qi's instigation or order.

Zhao Guangxun, the former tiger prison army, escaped from Huainan and had nowhere to escape, so he came to Jingzhou to settle down, and he also persuaded himself that this was called dark under the lamp, and it was not easy for the enemy to find him.

But when he heard that Tang Yuan hired a killer to assassinate Zhao Guangli and Zhao Guangxu, he felt a chill down his spine, and he was still trying to remember, when did those two unlucky guys offend Tang Yuan?

smiled bitterly, laughing at his confusion: "This must be an excuse made by the emperor, just say that Tang Yuan retaliated because of personal vendetta, and no one will put the responsibility for killing the hero on the emperor's head." ”

"But Tang Yuan has been wronged, can he feel comfortable?" You Gaoyi, the former general of the third division of the Tiger Ben Army, said.

Zhao Guangxun said: "What's uncomfortable? I feel very comfortable wearing a pair of pants with the emperor. For Tang Yuan's punishment, at most, he was scolded, fined for half a year, and then lowered his newly promoted position by half a level. You tell me, what are these to Tang Yuan now? He was only responsible for the emperor, and no one else could control him, so what was the difference between making him a first-rank officer and a third-rank general? On the contrary, I think that it is not a good thing to have too high an official position. ”

"Zhao Shuai, what should we do next?" It turned out that Chen Dongyuan, deputy staff general of the Tiger Ben Army Commandery, said.

There were seven people who fled with Zhao Guangxun, three of these seven people were Zhao Guangxun's nephews and nephews, and the other four were people from the Queen Mother's lineage. However, they were relatively estranged from Cao Sheng, and they all belonged to the relatives of the Empress Dowager's maternal uncle, not cousins, and they were worried that Cao Sheng would attack them after he came to Huainan, so they fled with Zhao Guangxun.

"Actually, there is no direct conflict between me and Zhao Ce, when we met in the past, I respected him very much and never crossed the courtesy. I think he can see it too. Although Zhao Guangli and I are grandfathers, we are not very close. I wish the Emperor would be open to me. After all, we are also related by blood. It's just that now no one can go to the emperor and say a few kind words. Since we can escape to Jingzhou, there seems to be a voice guiding me in the dark, asking me to come to Tang Yuan for help. ”

"You're going to find Tang Yuan? Aren't we throwing ourselves into the net? You Gaoyi frowned. Tsinghua

Zhao Guangxun looked at You Gaoyi coldly, and said with a cold face: "If you are allowed to go, do you dare to go?" ”

You Gaoyi was stunned for a while, and then suddenly stood up, "As long as Zhao Shuai says a word, I will go up the knife mountain and go down the sea of fire......"

"Alright, alright, don't swear." Zhao Guangxun waved his hand and said, "You reckless man, I can't let you go if you want to." ”

Zhao Guangxun's gaze swept over the people around him, and those who dared to look up at him at this time were willing to see Tang Yuan, but to his regret, no one was willing to look up.

In other words, everyone is not optimistic about Zhao Guangxun's method.

Zhao Guangxun sighed, "I'd better go myself." If I succeed, you guys will live with me. If I fail, you'll do it for yourselves. ”

I thought that saying this would move my nephew Kong Xian, so he volunteered, but the young secretary Lang didn't speak.

Although Kong Xian is only twenty-four years old, he is a prodigy in war, with great offensive talent, every time he deduces tactics in the sand table, no one can beat him, and he can always find loopholes in the enemy's defenses. His only drawback is that he has not been tested in actual combat, so he is not famous. If Zhao Guangxun said that he was the first military division of the Liang Dynasty, others would definitely say that he would only talk on paper, Zhao Hao of the Liang Dynasty.

Since Kong Xian has not been tested in actual combat, how does Zhao Guangxun judge that he has real talent and real learning?

In fact, it is very simple, the forty-five-year-old Zhao Guangxun was mixed in the army in his twenties, and after the Empress Dowager Cao took power, he became the supervisor of Wang Caotian's department, followed Wang Caotian to the Hebei battlefield, and fought with Sangla in Longyou. When Emperor Xian was alive, he also participated in the first war against Sangla, so it can be said that he was a person with rich combat experience. Therefore, he dared to judge that Kong Xian's strategy was not just on paper. If it is really taken to the battlefield, it will definitely work wonders.

"Uncle, I don't think even if I go to Tang Yuan to mediate, it's not now."

Just when Zhao Guangxun felt disappointed, Kong Xian spoke: "Wait a little longer, now that the emperor is dealing with all kinds of aftermath matters, our affairs will definitely come last, and when all this dust settles, we are also convicted, and then go to Tang Yuan for help." If it is a crime that must be killed, we don't need to appear again, but if it is not a capital crime, then there is a reprisal, let's go to Tang Yuan again, Tang Yuan can also do things. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Guangxun nodded with satisfaction, "My nephew's words are reasonable, then listen to you first, let's wait." ”

Zhang Zhikui took Wan Lin and Huang Ying to see the emperor, but he saw that the emperor was very busy, and His Majesty the emperor's recitals were simply piled up, and many secretaries beside him helped the emperor choose the recitals, and some irrelevant recitals were thrown aside and handed over to the six ministries to deal with, involving major matters such as the affairs of the gate valve, the remaining party of the Queen Mother, and the appointment of the old department of the Tiger Army and the Flying Tiger Army, and the emperor must personally review them.

The emperor was almost too busy to die, and it is said that he only slept two hours a day, and since ancient times, it seems that there has been no more diligent emperor than the Emperor Zhide.

"Minister Zhang Zhikui dared to come to see the Holy Lord and beg for punishment!"

"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”

"The minister was originally a remnant of the Meng family, and then he was put under the command of the queen mother, and he has been eating the country's money, but he did not serve the emperor, which is a big crime. Now that the emperor has finally mastered the power of the army, the three of us are sincerely happy for the emperor, but at the same time, we also feel that the crime is greater than the merit, so we ask for punishment. We feel that we are not qualified to stay in the Xuanjia Army, if the emperor is still willing to use the three of us, please demote us to the border and use the guilt to serve the country. ”
