As soon as the Qingming Festival passed, the day was hot quickly, although it was not yet noon, the heat wave was already hitting, even if it was sitting in the study of the Xuanzheng Palace, the Empress Wu who was buried in the official document was still sweating on her forehead, but she never stopped the pen in her hand, and the tiredness between her eyebrows was clearly recognizable.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, Jia Xiang is here."

In a burst of broken footsteps, the eunuch Cheng Denggao cautiously turned out from behind the screen, walked a few steps, grabbed the copy, and whispered a sentence.

"Well, let's go."

Although Empress Wu's mood was not very good, when she heard that it was Jia Chaoyin, a confidant and important minister, she still cheered up and made a statement.

"No."

Since Empress Wu had already let go, Cheng Denggao didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly answered, and hurriedly exited the study, and after a while, he had already accompanied Jia Chaoyin back from outside.

"The old minister knocks on the queen of heaven."

Jia Chaoyin's face was full of indignation, and he seemed to be angry, but he didn't dare to be rude in front of the martial queen, so he hurriedly rushed forward and respectfully bowed.

"Excuse me, but what happened? Why is Jia Xiang angry? ”

As soon as she saw that Jia Chaoyin's face was wrong, Empress Wu's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and she asked suspiciously.

"Back to Niangniang's words, this morning is the day of the political affairs hall deliberations, it was originally a routine matter, but I don't want to be at the beginning of the discussion, His Royal Highness the Prince asked people to submit a guarantee, saying that it was to sponsor His Royal Highness Yue Wang's second son Li Qian to serve as the assassin of Chenzhou, and the fourth son Li Gui to serve as Caizhou Sima, and then, His Royal Highness the King of Yue recommended Li Bule, Wang Fangming and other people to enter the court as officials, all of them were in important positions, the ministers were not angry, and they fought according to reason, but they were outnumbered, and the matter was decided, and the ministers had no choice but to invite Niangniang to be the master."

Empress Wu didn't ask, this question, Jia Chaoyin couldn't hold back any longer, and explained the process of today's deliberations in great shame, and a big hat of "private teaching" was unceremoniously buckled on the heads of the prince and Li Zhen.

"Oh? There is such a thing, and this palace knows. ”

As soon as he heard Li Xian and Li Zhen join hands, a trace of fierce light immediately flashed in the eyes of the Empress Wu, and there seemed to be a surging evil qi in her chest, but it did not start there, she just frowned and said noncommittally.

"Niangniang Mingjian, such a major matter of employing people in the court, how can it be privately taught and accepted, it should be dismissed, and the dynasty will be corrected!"

Empress Wu refused to express his position easily, but Jia Chaoyin couldn't hold his breath, and when he thought of the idleness he suffered during today's deliberations, the fire in his heart burned violently, and he gritted his teeth and set a personality for this matter.

"Humph!"

Empress Wu is not an ordinary person, although she is also very angry in her heart, but before she understands the true purpose of the transaction between the East Palace and the Yue Palace, she does not plan to be in a hurry, let alone let people control her thoughts, even if this person is such a confidant as Jia Chaoyin, it is no exception, therefore, for Jia Chaoyin's words of loyalty, the Empress Wu not only did not praise it, but glanced at Jia Chaoyin, and snorted coldly in extreme displeasure.

"Mother, old minister, old minister......"

Jia Chaoyin obviously didn't expect that his enthusiasm was used in the wrong place, and he was stared at by the Empress Wu like this, and he was a little panicked, and he stammered and wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start.

It has always been that the Empress Wu has been very polite to Li Zhen, and she has done her best to win her over, in order to prevent her from getting mixed with Li Xian, this is not because the Empress Wu has a very special impression of Li Zhen, but because of the pattern, if possible, the Empress Wu really wants to completely tie Li Zhen to her own chariot, the reason why she agreed to Li Xian's proposal this time, and pushed the assassination case of Ming Chongyan to Li Zhen is an attempt, and the fundamental purpose is to use this to incorporate Li Zhen's forces for her own use. There was also an arrangement to prevent Li Zhen and Li Xian from hooking up together, but before it could be launched, Li Xian and Li Zhen had already hooked up quickly, and the incident happened so suddenly, which caught Empress Wu off guard, but Empress Wu was not an ordinary person after all, and he knew that it was useless to be angry and even angry at this time, but the important thing was to find out what motives were hidden behind the uncle and nephew playing such a hand.

"Where's the excerpt?"

After all, Empress Wu is a decisive person to kill, although she is contemplative, she has not delayed for too long, but after a cup of tea, she has already come back to her senses, and her face is extremely peaceful, and she stretched out her hand towards Jia Chaoyin, and opened her mouth indifferently.

"Here, the excerpt is here, please take a look."

There is never only one topic in the political affairs hall, in fact, this excerpt on the head of Li Xian and Li Zhen is just a small episode, although Jia Chaoyin strongly opposed, but the other Zaifu are all unanimously approved, and the time spent is not very long, at this time the political affairs hall is still discussing many matters, only Jia Chaoyin deeply feels that the matter is big, and has no intention of continuing the discussion, under the pretext that this matter must be approved by the military queen, he took this chapter and ran to the Xuanzheng Palace, but he was patronizing righteous indignation before, but he forgot to hand over the fold to the martial arts. At this time, after hearing Empress Wu's question, he woke up from a dream, and hurriedly took out two yellow silk masked folds from his sleeves and handed them to Empress Wu.

"That's good, that's a big deal!"

Empress Wu quickly browsed the two folds, picked up the pen again, and annotated them with a red pen at the back of the two folds.

"Mother, this, this ......"

Jia Chaoyin couldn't resist the pressure of many Zaifu in the political hall, the purpose of this is not so much to complain, but to hand over the contradictions, counting on the Empress Wu to come forward to support himself, at this time, when he saw that the Empress Wu had already had an approval, his spirit was lifted, but when he looked at Zhu Pen's approval again, his eyes straightened - the Zhu Batch of the two folds is not long, there are only a few numbers, and the excerpts of the prince sponsoring Li Qian and Li Chun have two words - agree! And Li Zhen's guaranteed book has a slightly more number of words in Zhu Criticism, but it is not a complete veto, among the eight people who are guaranteed, five of them are approved by the martial arts, and the appointment of the remaining three is rejected, which can be said to be basically agreeing with the results of the deliberations in the political hall, which is obviously very different from Jia Chaoyin's expectations.

"Jia Xiang doesn't have to worry, since this matter has been decided by the political affairs hall, the palace should support it, so it is decided, Jia Xiang will go to the ministry as soon as possible to arrange for this matter to be stopped."

Empress Wu didn't pay attention to Jia Chaoyin's surprise, nor did she explain the root cause of such an action, but just commanded in a flat voice.

"No, the old minister obeys the order!"

Jia Chaoyin's IQ is really ordinary, even if he breaks his head, he can't think of the intention of the Empress Wu's move, seeing that the Empress Wu has made up his mind, he is full of doubts in his heart, and he doesn't dare to say anything more, so he can only respond respectfully, and he will not mention the relevant matters.

"Mother, why are you ......?"

Jia Chaoyin didn't dare to ask, Cheng Denggao, who thought he was the absolute confidant of the Empress Wu, was a little less scruples, and after Jia Chaoyin left, when he saw that there was no one else around, Cheng Denggao couldn't hold it back, so he approached and cautiously asked half of the words.

"You can ask about it, step aside!"

Cheng Denggao's words were half curious, and the other half was reminded with a hint of sycophancy, but Empress Zewu didn't give him any face, his face was flat, and he reprimanded unceremoniously.

"Ah, yes, the old slave should die, the old slave should die."

Cheng Denggao has been beside the Empress Wu for a long time, he knows what the Empress Wu is like, this time he saw the cold face of the Empress Wu, he was very frightened, how dare he talk more nonsense, hurriedly bowed down and confessed, and escaped from the study, so embarrassed that the three souls lost at least two......

"Your Royal Highness, there is news from the Ministry that the Niangniang Department has approved the excerpt, except for Wang Fangming and Lu Sheng, the rest of the people have been transferred, and in addition, Li Qian and Li Chunzhi have also been appointed."

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xian and Zhang Cambodia, who had just had lunch, were discussing things in the study in a low voice, but they saw Gao Miao coming in from outside with a happy face, and hurriedly said something.

"Oh? Hahaha...... Mr. really has a brilliant plan, this matter is done! ”

As soon as he heard Gao Miao's words, Li Xian couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the laughter was full of joy - as early as when he planned to kill Ming Chongyan, Zhang Cambodia had already offered a strategy, that is, to use the turmoil of this case to transfer back the manpower arrangement, all kinds of deployment and gambling is the psychological change of the Empress Wu, the reason is very simple, the Empress Wu is not only afraid that Li Zhen and Li Xian will be completely colluded together, but also worried that Li Zhen and Li Xian will cause endless turmoil with the help of these two excerpts, thus shifting the focus of the court situation, if so, not only Ming Chongyan will die in vain, In this sense, even if she is reluctant, Empress Wu will not be able to give birth to too much right and wrong in the matter of capital preservation.

"Your Highness, the matter is especially undone, and we have to hurry up."

The plan was turned into a reality, and Zhang Cambodia was naturally quite excited, but he did not forget the root of the matter because of it, lest Li Xianle go too far, so he mentioned it from the side.

"Sir, don't worry, this palace knows it, Gao Miao, this palace wants you to do something......"

can transfer back many subordinates, Li Xian will not be available in the court, although it is not as many as the Hou Party, but at least there is already the capital to compete, Li Xian has reason to be excited, but Le Guile, what should be done will not be forgotten, this recruited Gao Miao to the side, and ordered carefully.

"No, slave and maid will go!"

After listening to Li Xian's secret words, Gao Miao's face was full of surprise, but he didn't ask more questions, but responded respectfully, hurriedly exited the study, and went to arrange relevant matters without mentioning them......
