In the first year of Dazhong, on the third day of February, the weather was sunny and windless.

Lishan Palace.

Wang Zuoen looked up at the sky, with a slightly sad look on his face.

"What time is it?" He asked.

"It's just past Shen Shi!" Behind him, a forbidden army general replied.

Wang Zuoen nodded, turned around and looked at the side hall behind him.

"Are we really going to do this?" The general asked.

"Unless you want to be a lifelong warrior!" Wang Zuoen said softly.

"But ......"

"There is nothing but, we can only succeed!"

After hearing this, General Pi glanced at the two teams of forbidden army foot soldiers behind him.

The two teams of foot soldiers immediately rushed towards the temple gate like a gust of wind, and the forbidden army guarding the temple was about to stop it, but before they could draw their swords, they had already fallen under the chaotic blade

Bang –

The doors of the temple were violently slammed open, and sawdust flew up.

"What do you want to do?!"

The person who spoke was Bai Minzhong, but in just a few days, it had made the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty in this year of destiny extremely old.

Sitting on the ground around him were more than 100 civil and military officials who accompanied the car, and after seeing this, they got up one after another.

or glaring angrily, or silent, or with a face like ashes, or with tears streaming down their faces.

Wang Zuoen slowly walked into the hall, looked around at everyone, and said with a cold gaze: "Please also move and go to a place with this deputy envoy!" ”

"I won't go anywhere, I will wait for the eunuch ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zheng Congyan and Liu Yao step forward and cover Bai Minzhong's mouth, and then Liu Yao whispered in his ear: "Don't say much!" ”

When the words fell, I saw Feng Ao on the side stalking his neck and scolding angrily: "The old man is the Tang Dynasty Zaifu, how can he compromise with the gelding, if you want to kill today, you will kill, but don't want the old man to get out of here half a step!" ”

Zheng Congyan and Liu Ying couldn't help but look at each other, and they only cared about stopping Bai Minzhong, but they forgot that there was a more hot-tempered Feng Ao beside them.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Wang Zuoen, as if they were waiting for a killing that would follow the trend.

Sure enough, I saw Wang Zuoen sneer, and then nodded left and right, and then the two foot soldiers hugged Feng Ao and directly pressed Feng Ao to the ground.

Immediately, Wang Zuoen slowly walked to Feng Ao, lifted his toes lightly to hold Feng Ao's chin, and said with a playful smile: "I have heard that Dr. Feng has hard bones, why is he lying on the ground today?" ”

After speaking, the left and right laughed, Feng Ao struggled to get up, opened his mouth and wanted to scold, but Wang Zuoen stepped on his face on the ground with his backfoot, and he couldn't move anymore.

After seeing this, Bai Minzhong pushed Zheng Congyan's hand away, and was about to step forward to fight, but was kicked in the lower abdomen by a foot soldier next to him and planted him backwards.

Then the foot soldier was about to step forward again, but he saw Zheng Congyan striding forward, and shouted loudly: "Deputy Envoy Wang, you dare!" ”

After saying that, Liu Ying also took a step forward, standing side by side with Zheng Congyan, looking at Wang Zuoen with an angry face.

"It's up to you?!" Wang Zuoen sneered and glanced at the two.

"Hahaha......" Zheng Congyan couldn't help laughing loudly, and then said quietly: "Deputy Envoy Wang, don't forget which boat you are on!" ”

After hearing this, the smile on Wang Zuoen's face instantly froze, although Zheng Congyan did not say it, but it seemed to point out the secret that made Wang Zuoen panic.

Yes, Wang Zuoen has already betrayed Qiu Shiliang and got on a "boat" that is destined to be impossible to turn back.

Wang Zuoen knew that he could trample the Dang Dynasty Zaifu under his feet one by one, but he would always have to be afraid of that small Youzhou marching Sima.

And this is also the pain that Wang Zuoen can't let go, this kind of pain can only make his heart feel better if he puts these high-ranking court ministers in front of him at his feet.

When Wang Zuoen trampled Feng Ao's face under his feet, the great satisfaction made Wang Zuoen forget a fact and forget a person.

Li Zhen.

It was the small Youzhou marching Sima, but within a few days, he mobilized nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses from the three towns of Heshuo, the defense envoys of the gold merchants, and the defense of the eastern capital.

Even just a few days ago, even Fengxiang and Shuofang, two important towns in the northwest, brought troops into the customs.

It is precisely because of this that Qiu Shiliang was forced to return to the capital to arrange for King Yan's accession to the throne.

Of course, Wang Zuoen didn't believe that this was something that Li Zhen could do alone, and he had enough reason to be sure that there must be a hand behind Li Zhen.

A hand that can turn the world upside down.

At this moment, Wang Zuoen's face became a little ugly, because he knew that none of these people present would die, and not only that, but he also had to protect them.

That is to say, Bai Minzhong will still be Bai Minzhong, and Feng Ao will still be Feng Ao, and the power in their hands will not be reduced at all.

Wang Zuoen's mood quickly declined, and then he realized that everything he was doing now was destined to be in vain.

Wang Zuoen didn't speak again, gently moved his foot away from Feng Ao's face, and said to Zheng Congyan: "If you still want to return to Beijing alive, you must leave this place immediately!" ”

After that, Wang Zuoen brushed his sleeves out.

......

Purple Orchid Hall.

When Li Zhen was sure that all this in front of him was not an illusion, he suddenly felt sympathy in his heart.

Because what he saw didn't seem to be the "Queen Mother", but an ordinary "old woman".

is so ordinary that even the sleeve shirt and shawl on the body have nothing to do with gorgeousness, and it is so ordinary that even the gestures have gone through hardships.

Even things like adding charcoal to the charcoal basin had to be done by herself.

This is by no means the queen mother imagined by Li Zhen, where does the "old woman" in front of her still have half the majesty of the lord of the harem, and where does she still have the demeanor of the mother of a saint.

And this old woman is the biological mother of today's saint and Li Zhen's grandmother, Zheng.

"Queen Mother......" Zhou Gui reported softly: "Li Sima has arrived!" ”

"Minister Li Zhen, meet the Queen Mother!"

Zheng turned his back to Li Zhen and did not slowly turn around until he threw the last piece of charcoal into the charcoal basin with his own hands.

The eldest son is like a mother.

From that eyebrow, Li Zhen could clearly see Aya's shadow, and imagined that the Zheng family decades ago had enough capital to attract any man.

Even if you don't have makeup on your face, even if you are wearing plain clothes, you still can't hide the charm that you should have on that face.

"You are Li Zhen?" Zheng is not smiling, and it seems to have nothing to do with the "kindness" mentioned by Zhou Gui before.

"The minister is Li Zhen!" Li Zhen bowed his head and replied.

"I heard Yi'er (Li Chen's name was "Li Yi" before he ascended the throne, and he changed his name to Li Chen after he ascended the throne) to talk about you! ”

Zheng was talking, two maids had already come forward with water and cotton towels, Zheng retired after washing, Zhou Gui saw this and was about to leave, but only heard Zheng say: "You stay, there are some things that need you to say!" ”

Zhou Gui lightly promised, and then lowered his hand and stepped aside.

"Raise your head and speak, there are not so many rules in the Purple Orchid Palace, don't be restrained!"

Even at this time, there was still no smile on Zheng's face.

After hearing this, Li Zhen slowly raised his head.

And at the moment when Li Zhen raised his head, Zheng suddenly froze, looking at Li Zhen blankly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
