Since the death of the first emperor, Empress Dowager Fu has always trusted Fan Zhen very much, regardless of the major policies of the imperial court or the people's livelihood and economy, she can be said to be obedient to Fan Qian, and there are few precedents for rejection.

Others may not know, but Chai Yuniang, who has been in the deep palace for a long time, inadvertently learned a small thing: Jiao Wu, an old confessor who has been serving Chai Zongxun since he was a child, was ruthlessly rectified by Empress Dowager Fu and Fan Zhen because of extorting money from a certain official, and almost lost his life.

After all, Empress Dowager Fu is Chai Zongxun's aunt, the queen mother of the brand, even if Chai Zongxun has a small opinion, he is helpless.

However, since then, Chai Zongxun has been haunted by Fan Zhen's completely unmerciful approach to him.

Chai Yuniang heard an unconfirmed joke: Chai Zongxun privately threatened that one day, he would give Fan Zhen a good look!

Now, under the inducement of Chai Yuniang, Empress Dowager Fu took the initiative to mention that she had to ask Fan Qian's opinion before she could make a final decision, which made Chai Zongxun, who has always had prejudices against Fan Qian, feel about it?

"Queen Mother, there is no need to ask the ministers about our family affairs, right?" Chai Zongxun's question made Chai Yuniang feel very happy, she didn't hurt this good nephew in vain!

Empress Dowager Fu said with a straight face: "Your father's teachings, didn't you forget them so quickly? If the state affairs are not decided, ask the model! "Categorical and powerful.

Chai Yuniang was secretly happy in her heart, and immediately grabbed the conversation, and said coldly: "Sister-in-law, Your Majesty has said it, it's just a family matter." She didn't completely point out the words, leaving some aftertaste, and let Chai Zongxun think freely.

Family and state affairs, for outsiders. Actually, it's easy to tell. However, when this logic was implemented on Chai Yuniang. It's very complicated and confusing.

The first emperor's sister-in-law, the eldest princess of the Chai family. The aunt of the little emperor today, the sister-in-law of the Empress Dowager Fu, and the fiancée of Li Zhongyi, so many characters have gathered in Chai Yuniang alone, which has invisibly increased the difficulty of the Empress Dowager Fu's idea of serious disposal.

"The father and the emperor tasted it: relatives are bitter and hateful, and the wise man does not do it." Chai Zongxun very cleverly borrowed Chai Rong's last words, trying to persuade Empress Dowager Fu to change her mind.

"Hmph, the sword trespassed into Ouchi. Holding a threat to the mourning family, even if it is the blood of the heavenly family, how can it be tolerated? Empress Dowager Fu wanted to knock Chai Yuniang to the ground in one fell swoop, and she could no longer control Chai Zongxun's thoughts and behaviors, and she was hardened to make things bigger.

Chai Yuniang wanted to refute it, but considering Chai Zongxun's embarrassing situation, she endured this evil breath and simply closed her mouth. Wait to see Chai Zongxun's true attitude.

Chai Zongxun looked at the Empress Dowager Fu very seriously, and said earnestly with red eyes: "Queen Mother, not long after my father drove to the west, do you want to send my aunt away?" ”

Facing Chai Zongxun's questioning. Empress Dowager Fu was speechless, although she used to ignore the imperial court, she also knew. If the punishment is not a doctor, the unspoken rule that the relatives and nobles can reduce the crime.

Far away, don't talk about it. Chai Zongxun's grandfather, Chai Shouli is in Luoyang, Xijing. killed someone on the street, and still lives a happy and nourishing life.

Just when Empress Dowager Fu was hesitating, a little eunuch ran in from outside the door and reported: "Back to Niangniang, Fan Xianggong came, saying that there was an urgent report." ”

After Fan Zhen entered the door, the first sentence was: "Yelu Xiuge has broken through the Waqiao Pass, and the elite iron cavalry of the Khitan people is heading south in Pingchuan." ”

After Chai Yuniang heard the news, the heart that was still a little nervous completely fell back into her stomach.

At the critical moment, family affection is actually difficult to keep Chai Yuniang's peace, and only the elite soldiers under Li Zhongyi can play a decisive role in turning the tide.

Internal disunity, under the approach of a strong enemy, was immediately forced to reach a compromise agreement.

After discussing with Fan Zhen, Empress Dowager Fu made a decision to demote Chai Yuniang from a princess to a county lord, and after Li Zhongyi repelled the Khitans, she would restore Chai Yuniang's position as a princess and give a heavy reward.

After the dust settled, Chai Yuniang followed Chai Zongxun and went to his bedroom.

Empress Dowager Fu knew that this was an unruly behavior, but because of the rat taboo, she forcibly endured this evil breath.

"Fan Xianggong, the sixth brother is a little different from before." Empress Dowager Fu couldn't help but complain to Fan Zhen after all.

Based on the political principle of intimacy, he lowered his head slightly, accompanied by a smiling face, and said: "Your Majesty has the decisive style of the first emperor, and the old minister is really excited." ”

Empress Dowager Fu had a cold face and asked Yu Fan: "Li Wuyi is so domineering, how can he control it in the future?" ”

Fan Zhen shook his head and said, "Don't hide it from Niangniang, if Li Wuyi is really rebellious, he will not instigate Her Royal Highness the princess to do such a stupid thing." ”

"Fan Xianggong, why does the mourning family always have an ominous premonition, and the person who will harm my family in the future is none other than Li Wujiao?" Empress Dowager Fu's great prejudice against Li Zhongyi was completely exposed to Fan Zhen through this questioning.

Fan Zhen actually didn't take Li Zhongyi's temper to heart, in his opinion, it was actually a manifestation of political immaturity, but Li Chongjin, Li Yun, Han Tong and Zhao Kuangyin, who were military ministers and feudal towns with heavy troops, were more worthy of the vigilance of the imperial court.

Although Li Zhongyi has trained an elite army, he is the only one among the commanders who hold military power and does not have a completely controllable territory in the Central Plains.

Reading countless examples of history, I know very well that the most important thing is the disaster of the feudal towns after the late Tang Dynasty: the military generals have independent control of the territory, and control the personnel and tax power, and the combination of soldiers and money and food is the biggest trouble of the imperial court.

Of course, in Fan Zhen's plan, it is necessary to first solve the forces held by Han Tong, Li Chongjin, Li Yun and others, and then clean up Li Zhongyi, this order is determined by political reality and strength.

If Li Zhongyi, who is the weakest, is moved first, it is likely that he will be startled by the snake, making the feudal town and the generals even more detached.

Li Zhongyi, who had been staying at home, immediately froze after learning the news, and then sighed and shook his head, this Chai Yuniang, she really didn't spend time soaking her in vain.

After Li Dahe heard what happened, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Although it is a little reckless, the heart of the husband is undoubted." ”

Mrs. Xue gently put the sweet girl who had been lying on her lap and refused to leave, and sighed and said, "Such a big woman, what a blessing for the family!" ”

Li Zhongyi looked at the sweet girl who twisted her waist with a smile, and said lightly: "I'm afraid it helped me." ”

Li Dahe found out that the meaning of his son's words was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Li Zhongyi smiled and said nothing, Li Dahe instantly had a kind of understanding, his son insisted on fighting a lawsuit with the three divisions before, I'm afraid he had other plans? (To be continued.) )
