The early dynasty of the female emperor surprised most people, the crown prince and the king of Liang each played fifty boards, and no one took the lead, but all this was within the expectations of the two people.

One of them is the princess of Taiping, at this time the princess of Taiping was proud of her means, Gao Jian said flatteringly beside Taiping: "Weichen admires, the princess's means are really wonderful, the princess knows that my emperor hates the person who shirks the most, so she borrowed the mouth of the prince, let the prince and King Liang put the responsibility on Li Ke, in this way, it is the taboo of the empress, now it is good, the empress is absolutely disappointed in the two!" Presumably, this battle for the throne is variable again! Hey? Why does Xia Guan think that the more he looks at the princess, the more he looks like the current emperor? This majesty and this wisdom are all the same! Gao Jian's flattery is getting higher and higher! Taiping's expression was slightly angry: "Shut up!" You minion! How to talk is getting more and more boundless! Beware of beheading you rebel! Taiping blamed on the surface, but in fact he was happy in his heart, but how could this mind escape Gao Jian's eyes, so he said: "It's all to blame Weichen for his gaffe, don't blame the princess!" Weichen is also a straightforward person, and he will say whatever he thinks in his heart. Taiping said angrily: "You dog slave, you are a bad mouth!" After saying that, he smiled softly.

There is also a person who is the scheming prime minister Zhang Cambodia, at this time, everyone is gathering in the East Palace, discussing countermeasures, in addition to the prince Li Xian, Zhang Cambodia, Li Sanlang, Chen Xuanli, Zhang Jiuling, there are Luantai squire Cui Xuanwei, Zuo Yulin General Jinghui, right Yulin General Huan Yanfan and others. The crown prince Li Xian can be regarded as in a hurry, whether the words of the empress this morning mean that there has been a change in the matter of succession, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, so he said: "Your Excellency, you are also here this morning, you all talk about it, how is this good?" ”

Zhang Cambodia didn't wait for everyone to speak, and took the lead in saying: "The biggest drawback of the prince's actions this time is nothing more than attributing the blame to Li Ke!" My emperor has always hated people who avoid trouble, the prince is not ignorant, how could he make such a mistake? Is there something malicious about it? ”

When the prince heard this, he immediately said, "Yes! It's all to blame for the fact that the palace listened to the words of peace for a while. But... But Taiping is also for the sake of this palace! Hongu can't blame her. ”

Princess Taiping? Zhang Cambodia silently read in her heart, she was also involved in this matter? So ... The doubts in Zhang Cambodia's heart suddenly became clear, and he continued: "Don't worry, prince! In the opinion of the old minister, things did not come to the worst. ”

When the prince heard him say this, he felt a little relieved, so he said, "Please also ask Lord Zhang to make it clear." ”

Zhang Cambodia continued: "After thinking about it for many days, I think there are two reasons for the establishment of the Long'an Division at the beginning: one is that the emperor has changed his direction to convey to the world that he will hand over the throne to the prince, so that he can test the reactions and movements of all aspects to deal with it; Second, it is also to consider the prince's ability to deal with things and deal with things, but he never expected that there was an attack outside the city gate on the first day, and the prince not only did not make the case clear within two days, but killed and injured hundreds of people, which had a bad impact, but what really made the empress angry was that in this case, the prince actually put the blame on a lieutenant who had been in office for less than two days, which inevitably annoyed my emperor completely! ”

When the prince heard this, he shook his head and said with annoyance: "It's all because the palace was confused for a while and didn't think about it deeply, how should Lord Zhang deal with it now?" ”

Zhang Cambodia hurriedly said: "The prince is not in a hurry, please listen to the old minister's words." Today, the empress suddenly proposed to summon all the people at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and the old minister thought that this was a dangerous signal! ”

The prince was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Zhang Cambodia continued: "Prince, why does my emperor want to let the people know that his dragon is healthy? Before my emperor did not come to the court due to illness for a long time, and the prince has been established, and the Long'an Division has been established, everyone thinks that our emperor is ready to hand over power to the prince, but the prince's mistake this time has made my emperor have to come forward to take charge of the government and re-establish his authority, indicating that a big change may be made! ”

After listening to Zhang Cambodia's words, everyone present was surprised, and the prince at this moment was even more panicked, and hurriedly asked: "Didn't Lord Zhang just say that it hasn't reached the worst yet?" Isn't this the empress ready to make a big change? ”

Zhang Cambodia stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and said: "The old minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not, if it is wrong, the right to be the old minister is out of the word, if it is right, please take more precautions against it." ”

"When is it, if Lord Zhang has something to say, just say it!" The prince said anxiously.

Zhang Cambodia continued to speak: "When the throne is held today, in the eyes of the world, there are no more than two candidates, one is the crown prince, and the other is the king of Liang, Wu Sansi, but in the early dynasty today, the king of Liang did not take advantage of anything at all, but was also reprimanded by the empress, it seems that he is not the one who benefits the most. The old minister has always wondered, in the end, who is the most beneficial to the prince and the king of Liang, the prince's words just now reminded me that the person who instigated the prince to offend the empress must have a greater purpose! ”

The prince blurted out: "Taiping? ”

Zhang Cambodia nodded silently, and everyone was shocked, and they didn't know what to say for a while. At this moment, Li Sanlang remembered his aunt's eyes last night, the kind of eyes that were difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and at this moment he finally understood why.

The prince continued: "How is she? What's in it for her? ”

Zhang Cambodia said word by word: "Fight for the reserve!" ”

"Huh?" The prince snorted softly, this is something he never expected, the deep brother-sister relationship over the years, he never thought that his sister would be unfavorable to him, so he said: "Taiping, shouldn't it?" She's a woman! This sentence can be regarded as Li Xian's self-comfort.

Zhang Cambodia said: "Is my emperor a man today? After the crown prince and King Liang, who is most likely to succeed in the competition for the crown prince besides her? Who has the strength and ability, or who can get the favor of our emperor today? ”

Zhang Cambodia's words were like knives, cutting on Li Xian's heart, Li Xian never thought that his sister would actually become a fierce rival in the battle for his position, but he thought about it, Zhang Cambodia's words are not unreasonable, after all, among all the brothers and sisters from childhood to adulthood, the most favored by the empress is this princess Taiping, she may not have this mind before, but after she became the emperor herself, she has broken the tradition that women cannot become emperors, so this matter is not impossible, thinking of this, he felt so uncomfortable, after a long time, Finally spoke: "Then according to Lord Zhang's meaning, what should we do at this moment?" ”

Zhang Khan threw up his hand and said: "As the old minister just said, it is not the worst yet. The empress summoned all the people to the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, so until then, the crown prince was absolutely safe. ”

When the prince heard this, he nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"There are three things to do now. First, investigate this case as soon as possible, the prince can only block everyone's mouth if he cracks this case, and the empress is also worried if she really wants to replace the prince; Second, restore the Long'an Division as soon as possible, the empress knew that the old minister supported Li Tang, and handed over the right to handle the case to the old man, so the empress still did not plan to kill the crown prince; Third, the generals of the Yulin Army are also here today, all of which are Li Tang's loyal and good death festivals, and the old minister made it clear today that if there is a change in the court, then support the army and change! The old minister is already eighty, and his days are numbered, and he just wants to see the return of Li Tang's artifact in his lifetime! In this matter, please also ask the prince and all the adults to decide, and the old minister is willing to die! ”

Zhang Cambodia's words are not serious, this is suspected of disobedience, and he will punish the nine clans! Everyone didn't dare to answer for a while, and even the prince didn't dare to make a statement. Seeing that everyone was speechless, Li Sanlang immediately made a decision, stood up and arched his hand and said: "It is the ambition of my generation to return my Li Tang artifact!" No matter what others do, I Li Saburo sacrificed his life and forgot to die for this! Seeing Li Sanlang like this, Chen Xuanli and Zhang Jiuling walked behind him together, arched their hands, and said: "We are willing to follow the prince and Li Sicheng to the death, and we will never give up!" ”

At first, the prince was a little undecided, but when he heard his son-in-law say this, he suddenly had the courage to say, and said sharply: "Today's things are all because of this palace, in order to help Li Tang Shengshi, if you don't want to help this palace, you can leave at this moment, this palace will not blame, if you are willing to follow this palace to achieve things, you will be crowned the king and worship the prime minister!" ”

Cui Xuanwei, the waiter of Luantai, Jinghui, the general of the left Yulin, and Huan Yanfan, the general of the right Yulin, immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "I wish to take the crown prince's head as the horse, and the liver and brain will be smeared!" ”

The prince was overjoyed and said, "With your help, we will achieve great things!" I also asked Mr. Zhang to arrange how to act for everyone. ”

Zhang Cambodia bowed his hand and said: "Order Cui Xuanwei, the waiter of Luantai, Jinghui, the general of Zuo Yulin, and Huan Yanfan, the general of Huan Yanfan, to return to the camp quickly, prepare military discipline, and collect people who can help make things happen. Obey Li Sicheng! ”

"Whoa!" Cui Xuanwei, Jinghui, and Huan Yanfan responded in unison.

"Then the three generals, please hurry back to the camp." The prince said. The three generals were ordered to retreat.

After the three of them left, Zhang Cambodia got up and looked at Chen Xuanli and Zhang Jiuling and said to Li Sanlang: "The two of you behind you are both capable people, with the help of these two people, you will definitely succeed in the future, please kiss and believe in it!" ”

Li Sanlang arched his hands and replied, "Huh! ”

Zhang Cambodia continued: "What you have to do now is to quickly restore the Long'an Division, there is an old government office in Jingxingfang, which is the old land of the original Dali Temple, which has been vacant and unused, so use it for the Long'an Division now!" ”

Li Sanlang was overjoyed in his heart, bowed his hand, and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhang!" We will go to the resettlement immediately. ”

Zhang Cambodia hurriedly said: "Li Sicheng, don't worry, listen to the old minister's words." Lao Chen drafted a list before the court, these are mostly the protégés of Lao Chen for many years, they are people who can be trusted, Si Cheng can call them all, the people mobilized by the Long'an Division before, there is no shortage of other people's eyeliner, so the news is revealed too quickly, but the people on the list, Si Cheng is credible. ”

Li Sanlang had an epiphany, why everything he did before would be revealed, it turned out to be caused by eyeliner, and after being reminded by Lord Zhang, he really had to pay attention to this matter.

Zhang Cambodia continued: "The so-called thousands of troops are easy to obtain, and one general is hard to find, the manpower dispatched by Zuo Yulin's army should be enough, and the scribes on this list are enough, and you still lack a commander at the moment." Zhang Cambodia glanced at Chen Xuanli and said: "The enemy this time is far from being as easy as you think, so you still have to have an experienced person, I heard that the thief is strong in martial arts, and one person can kill the top and bottom of Long Ansi, so the selected person must also be strong in martial arts, and he can be rivaled." ”

After listening to Zhang Cambodia's words, Li Sanlang hurriedly nodded yes.

Zhang Cambodia said: "This Li Ke is outstanding in civil and martial arts, and the emperor has forgiven his sins this morning, you can find this person quickly and let him help you." ”

Li Sanlang's face was ashamed for a while, and he said: "Don't hide it from Lord Zhang, because of Sanlang's negligence for a while, this person must have misunderstood me deeply and has already left the Shendu." ”

Zhang Cambodia waved his hand and said: "You don't know this person, this person is chivalrous and awe-inspiring, if you are willing to treat him sincerely, he will definitely repay him with death." The old minister ordered all the city gates to be strictly inspected this morning, and at this time, he should still be in the divine capital. ”

Li Sanlang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Does that Lord Zhang know where he is now?" ”

Zhang Cambodia shook his head and said, "This old man doesn't know, but there is someone who may be able to help you." ”

"Who?" Li Sanlang hurriedly asked.

"Chen Wuji! I have heard that this person is a master of investigating cases, and he was requisitioned by you before, which can be regarded as fate, you should go and ask him, maybe he has woken up now. Zhang Cambodia said.

After Li Sanlang listened, he said goodbye to the prince and Zhang Khan Zhi, turned around and said: "Zhang Jiuling quickly went to call the people on the list and reset the Long'an Division; Chen Xuanli went with me to the Imperial Medical Department! ”

The two of them replied, "Oh! When Zhang Jiuling left, he secretly glanced at Zhang Cambodia again, and couldn't help admiring this person in his heart, he was not chaotic in danger, he was not alarmed, he acted in an orderly manner, and he was a model for himself, and secretly swore that he would become such a person in the future.

After everyone left, the prince asked Zhang Cambodia again: "Then what should I do now about Taiping." ”

Zhang Cambodia replied: "It seems that nothing has happened, just wait and see what happens." Prince Li Xian nodded.

Inside the palace of King Liang. Wu Sansi threw the teacup in his hand on the ground, and Wu Jiang was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. In today's early dynasty, Wu Sansi lost face, and he didn't get the slightest benefit, so he couldn't help but be angry at the moment.

At this time, Xue Liang entered the mansion, and Wu Sansi saw that it was Xue Liang, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Mr. Xue, it's finally here, you see how my Liang Wangfu should act, this time, my Liang Wangfu's face is lost!" ”

Xue Liang looked left and right, only Wu Jiang, so he said: "King Liang was designed by someone this time, and he actually put the blame on a newly appointed Li Ke, isn't this a taboo?" Wu Sansi said angrily: "It's all this Li Sanlang who made the ghost!" ”

Xue Liang shook his head and said, "Don't you see that the prince is also reprimanded?" It's not him, it's someone else behind the scenes. ”

Wu Sansi hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

Xue Liang said: "According to the eyeliner, the person behind the scenes is Princess Taiping. ”

Wu San was taken aback and said, "How could it be her?" ”

Xue Liang continued: "The reason for this is that Xue didn't say it, I guess King Liang can guess it, right?" is nothing more than the word profit, King Liang and the crown prince fell out of favor in front of the empress, and the rest is nothing more than her. ”

Wu Sansi secretly scolded in his heart, but he couldn't do it for a while, so he asked: "Then please Mr. Xue teach me, how to act in the future?" ”

Xue Liang said: "As for Taiping, just keep quiet, just be careful, at this time, being an enemy of her is not good for King Liang." In addition, Li Ke should be urgently searched, since he has been exonerated from the crime, then reuse him to investigate the case. ”

Wu Sansi is a narrow-minded person, last night Li Ke faced him with a sword, he didn't kill him It was already merciful, how could he beg him in a low voice, but now he couldn't refute Xue Liang's face, so he had to say: "That's okay, it's a pity that he has left, and this king can only search for this person as soon as possible." ”

Xue Liang said: "That's very good. There is another thing, Long Ansi was attacked by gangsters last night, and his eyeliner was dead, and now Xue is going to try to reset his eyeliner and leave it. Before there is any news, I hope that King Liang will act carefully. After saying that, he bowed and retreated.

After seeing Xue Liang leave, Wu Jiang asked, "May I also ask King Liang, will we go to find Li Ke now?" ”

Wu Sansi glared at Wu Jiang angrily and scolded: "You idiot, do you dare to use a sword aimed at you?" You go to Li Ke and find a way to kill me, I don't need him, and don't let the people of Long'an Division use him. ”

Wu Jiang hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Oh! But the matter of investigating the case! ”

Wu Sansi scolded angrily again: "Are your Dali Temple all dead? Without Li Ke, no one in your Dali Temple will investigate the case? With that, he wanted to drop the teacup again.

Seeing this, Wu Jiang hurriedly replied: "Oh! Small... Wechen retires! And staggered out of the Liang Wangfu step by step.
