On May 22, the third year of Yifeng, the Western Expeditionary Army arrived in Beijing urgently, saying that on April 27, the Western Expeditionary Army broke more than 154,000 people in the Surhan River Valley, beheaded 43,000 people, captured more than 111,000 enemies, and captured no calculation. Emperor Wenzhi, Da Yue, issued an edict to reward the three armies, the commander of the Fengxi Expeditionary Army Lin Chengbin was the Marquis of Zhengyuan, the deputy marshal Li He was the Marquis of Po, and the deputy marshal Xiao Sanlang was the Marquis of Chengyuan, and the rest of the generals were rewarded with their own favors, and ordered the military department to award titles according to merit, and summoned the prince Li Xian into the palace, praised Wen Yan, rewarded jade Ruyi and other things, in order to reward the prince for his planning, the edict granted amnesty to the world, the news came out, the Manjing division was festive, the reputation of the prince was rising again, and the voice of the court and the central government called on the prince to supervise the country gradually rose.

Excited? There are some, but not much, not that there is much dissatisfaction with the big victory ahead, but Li Xian has received a detailed battle report as early as ten days ago, knowing the whole process of this battle, the excitement has already been excited, as for the moment, Li Xian is not here, the victory of the left and right Western Expeditionary Army has been decided, the Great Food Empire has been defeated, if you want to recover your breath, it will take more than half a year, really by then, the Western Expeditionary Army has already controlled the entire Persia in hand, in terms of the powerful firepower of the Western Expeditionary Army, Even if the Great Food goes out to conquer the country, he doesn't think about how many chances of winning there are, Li Xianzi doesn't need to worry too much, and now his mind has already turned to the court.

"Two gentlemen, the DPRK and China are now moving again and again, all saying that the palace should be in charge of the country, and the palace is slightly hesitant, I don't know what the two gentlemen think, let's talk about it, can this shareholder wind be borrowed?"

In the study of the East Palace, Li Xian, who had just returned from the palace meeting, had not even changed his court clothes, so he rushed to the study, summoned Zhang and Di's two major strategists, and unabashedly said the intention of seeking to supervise the country, and the words were full of confidence - the motion of the ministers was not from Li Xian's instructions, but the spontaneous actions of the ministers, and the promotion of overseas varieties led by Li Xian is now about to be completed, the growth of plants in various states is gratifying, and the harvest is already in sight, and the people of the world are all grateful and the hearts of the people have returned. Now the Western Expedition is a great victory, Li Xian's prestige has risen to the peak, and he is qualified to compete with Empress Wu for the dominance of the court, under such a good situation, Li Xian is impossible not to be moved, but he is still a little hesitant in his heart, and he did not take action immediately, but cautiously and seriously asked Zhang and Di to take the pulse of this move.

"If Your Highness wants to learn from Taizong, then you might as well add fuel to the fire, otherwise, this matter may have to be cautious and cautious, according to the old minister, this matter is not simple, you must prevent villains from doing trouble!"

Li Xian was very complacent, but Zhang Cambodia obviously didn't plan to follow Li Xian's wishes, and unceremoniously poured a large basin of cold water on his head.

"Huh? Mr. means ......"

Li Xian is not an ordinary person in the end, and when Zhang Cambodia said this, he immediately became vigilant, his heart was terrified, and he already thought about what the consequences of his reckless actions would be.

"When the water is full, it overflows, although this matter started at the end of Qingping, I am afraid that someone with a heart will take the opportunity to make trouble, Your Highness must be cautious."

Zhang Cambodia can see the strangeness, Di Renjie also knows it, but he has a more sleek temperament and is reluctant to be a "wicked person" who pours cold water, but when it is time to speak, he will not hesitate, so he interjected from the side.

"Well, the two gentlemen have learned that it was the palace that was negligent."

Li Xian realized that he seemed to be a little too anxious, and when he calmed down and thought about it, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, not entirely because he would be used by Empress Wu because of this matter, but more because he was reflecting on his attitude towards Gaozong - that's right, Gaozong is not very concerned now, but after all, he is still the emperor, if he acts too radically, which makes Gaozong suspicious, and then if Empress Wu and Li Zhen come to the last situation, even if Li Xian can escape the catastrophe, he will definitely bury a thorn in Gaozong's heart, The consequences are self-explanatory, once the situation of the jealousy of the father and son of the monarch and the minister appears, it is already difficult to make up for it, as the crack gets bigger and bigger, in addition to learning Taizong to come to a "Xuanwumen change", Li Xian is afraid that there is no other way to go, and this road is not exactly what Li Xian wants to avoid?

"Your Royal Highness Shengming, but anyone who can save his own body three times, the great sage, the court is fortunate!"

Seeing that Li Xian was not completely carried away by the series of victories, he was still able to follow the advice, and Zhang Cambodia's heart was put down, and he praised it very appreciatively.

"Hehe, Mr. said that it was funny, the palace was proud for a while, and almost forgot about it, just don't talk about this, now the motion in the dynasty has risen, the queen mother and the king of Yue will not sit idly by, and it is inevitable to kill the palace, and you must deal with it carefully, I don't know if the two gentlemen have anything to teach about this?"

Although Li Xian is conceited, he still has the name of self-knowledge, knowing that the reason why he can have this achievement, in addition to knowing people and being good at his duties, is more because of the memory of the third life, as for the great sage, Li Xian really didn't dare to take responsibility for himself, so he didn't want to dwell on it, and as soon as the conversation changed, he had turned to the main topic.

"Well, praise and kill, this word is used well, and it is to hold it high in order to drop His Highness hard, if His Highness does not let him hold it, the word 'kill' will not be able to talk about it, and let them make trouble, as long as His Highness does not move, what can others do to His Highness? As for His Majesty's treatment, as long as it is ...... like this, His Majesty's worries can be relieved! ”

Zhang Cambodia smiled slightly, reached out and stroked the long beard on his chest, and unhurriedly said the countermeasures in his heart.

"Well, that's fine, it's decided, and I ask the two gentlemen to explain it, so that all the people below must not participate in it, so as not to be gossiped about."

Li Xian silently went through Zhang Cambodia's suggestion a few times, and saw that there was nothing wrong, so he nodded and made a decision.

"No!"

Li Xian had already made a decision, Zhang and Di would not have very different opinions, so they bowed down and agreed to their promises, and each of them retreated, and went to arrange relevant matters without mentioning them.

"Mother."

In the study room of the Xuanzheng Hall of Daming Palace, the Empress Wu in a purple dress was burying her head in the official documents, waving her pen and writing non-stop, but when she heard a sound of small footsteps, Cheng Denggao, who had a cautious face, had already turned out from behind the screen, holding a stack of folds in his hand, and carefully approached the copywriter and called in a low voice.

"Hmm."

Hearing the sound, Empress Wu raised her head slightly, and when she saw that Cheng Denggao had sent so many twists and turns, a trace of lackluster flashed between her eyebrows unconsciously, but she didn't say much, just whispered quietly, and lowered her head to correct the twists and turns.

"Mother."

Seeing that Empress Wu ignored himself, Cheng Denggao's face couldn't help but stiffen, but he swallowed his saliva vigorously, and hurriedly called softly.

"Huh? What's the matter? Say! ”

Empress Wu has been in a very bad mood during this time, first Ming Chongyan was killed in vain, and then Li Zhen, the king of Yue, showed his might, broke the headless strange case in three days, not to mention the reputation, and also obtained the land of two states for his two sons, so that it became a big trend of the tail, and now it is a great victory in the west, the prince's reputation has risen sharply, and all kinds of matters are not smooth, but the situation is stronger than people, even if the Empress Wu is full of resentment, it is not easy to come out, so he can only put his mind on the correction book, Trying to suppress the boredom in his heart, it was obvious that this method of diverting attention did not work, and the Empress Wu was upset at this time, and then he was disturbed by Cheng Denggao so blindly, he was even more annoyed, and the cold snort was inevitably full of impatient chills.

"Niang Niang Mingjian, these recitals are all transferred from the government affairs hall, and the other end said that it is a big matter, and I dare not make a judgment, and I want Your Majesty to judge it, and the old slave sees that most of the proposals in the prince are to supervise the country, so I dare not slack off, and I am here to ask Niang Niang to make a clear decision."

Cheng Denggao is a diehard loyalist of the Empress Wu, although he saw that the Empress Wu's expression was wrong, but for fear of making a mistake, he still mustered up his courage and reported the matter in a trembling voice.

"Humph! Hand it over! ”

As soon as he heard this, Empress Wu's originally gloomy face suddenly became a little more gloomy, but he didn't have a seizure, but snorted coldly.

"No, the old slave obeys."

Cheng Denggao hurriedly handed the fold in his hand to the copywriter, and then retreated to the side in fear, bowing his head, not daring to look at Empress Wu's face.

"Go, summon the kudzu bow to the main palace!"

Empress Wu flipped through the notebooks one by one, and the more she looked at it, the more gloomy her her face became, but at the end she still didn't say much, she just pushed the stack of notebooks to the corner of the copy, glanced at the anxious Cheng Denggao, and ordered in a cold tone.

"No, the old slave will go."

After the martial arts had an order, Cheng Denggao didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly responded, and ran out of the imperial study as if he was fleeing.

"The last will see the queen of heaven!"

Before coming to the audience, he had already skillfully explained the reason for the summons from Cheng Denggao's mouth, but he was not in a hurry to speak indiscriminately, but walked unhurriedly to the copywriter and made a military salute in a proper manner.

"Well, Aiqing is excused from courtesy."

Empress Wu waved her hand and motioned for all the eunuchs and palace ladies who were accompanying her to retreat, and then stared at Gar Yingong quietly for a long time, and then her voice called out calmly.

"Thank you for your grace."

Gar Yinggong respectfully thanked him, and did not ask the intention of the Empress Wu's summons, but just stood aside with his hands down, assuming a posture of obeying the Empress Wu's dispatch.

"The purpose of this palace Xuan'er to come here is to come to Aiqing already knows, if you have any ideas, let's talk about it."

Empress Wu was obviously very satisfied with Gar Yinggong's humble attitude, and nodded approvingly, but as soon as Fang opened his mouth, Gar Yinggong's heart suddenly lifted......
