Blue Dragon Temple.

When Li Zhen took this piece of yellow silk from Li Deyu's hand, his face showed unprecedented solemnity.

Huang Juan came from the harem, from the hand of a woman who was already in her twilight years.

Even if his status is noble, he no longer has any real power in his hands.

Unless......

Although Li Deyu did not say it explicitly, Li Zhen knew what he meant.

"Really ......"

The person who spoke was He Renhou, and it was not easy to come to Qinglong Temple in his current capacity, and it was even full of unknown dangers.

But he came anyway.

Because he knew that having chosen the most dangerous path, there would be no turning back.

Even if it comes at the cost of one's life.

"Do you really want to go this far?"

He Renhou is not questioning the decision of Li Deyu and Li Zhen, but wants to make the final decision.

Because he didn't think that the other queen mother in the harem would agree, even though she didn't know that her son was still alive.

Li Deyu didn't speak, but Li Zhen nodded, "Empress Dowager Zheng is undoubtedly the best candidate for the Linzhao Dynasty, but ......"

Li Zhen did not continue.

"But the Empress Dowager is the most suitable!" Li Deyu added.

It sounds a little contradictory to Li Zhen's words, but He Renhou understands.

As the biological mother of His Majesty today, Empress Dowager Zheng undoubtedly has an innate advantage in commanding the ministers, but when it comes to dealing with the ministers and even Qiu Shiliang, it is the Empress Dowager Guo who has an incomparable mind.

Guo, who has gone through four dynasties, has long been accustomed to fighting and seeing through people's hearts, she will never be soft when she should kill, and she will never be stingy when she should be given.

Even though it is the twilight of life, there are some things and some hatred that are always deeply ingrained in the bones.

I can't forget it, and I can't change it.

And the reason why He Renhou is worried is only because the Guo family and the Zheng family are not harmonious.

When Guo was a side concubine, Zheng was still a servant girl by his side, and Zheng's status gradually improved after being favored by Xianzong, so that in the end he was on an equal footing with Zheng.

This naturally caused Zheng's dissatisfaction, and the gap between the two was born.

After Li Chen ascended the throne, he naturally had a lot of disrespect for the Zheng family, and Wu Zong had killed his uncle Li Chen before, which made Li Chen even more resentful of the Zheng family, so that although the Zheng family is now the empress dowager, the status in the harem is far less than that of the Empress Dowager Zheng.

And the "Linchao Weighing System" is the regent of the harem, and a single Guo clan is far from enough to convince the public, so it is necessary to obtain the support of the Zheng family.

The edict in Li Zhen's hand was drafted by Li Deyu himself, with Guo's seal on it, but one was missing.

"Xia Guan still thinks that it will be more appropriate for Gong Wen Rao to go!" He Renhou then said, after all, Li Deyu's weight is far more important than that of a Youzhou marching Sima.

After hearing this, Li Deyu smiled slightly, pointed at Li Zhen and said, "This matter belongs to him!" ”

Li Zhen knew what Li Deyu meant, and as Li Chen's eldest son and the eldest grandson of the Zheng family, he undoubtedly had an innate advantage.

But in this way, Li Zhen's identity will also be exposed.

Li Zhen didn't answer immediately, after thinking about it, he looked at Li Deyu and said, "Do you really think now is the best time?" ”

Li Zhen is not sure what the consequences of revealing his identity at this time will bring, but one thing is certain.

If your identity is revealed to the harem at this time, then you will never have peace in the future.

After all, in addition to himself, Aya has six princes, and behind each prince will be an invisible force in the harem.

Thinking of the predicament he would face in the future, Li Zhen couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp, even though the six princes were still young.

But people will grow up eventually.

Li Deyu smiled and only said one sentence.

"This matter is a thousand years old, and I am afraid!"

After hearing this, Li Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "You are forcing me!" ”

"Don't you mean that?" Li Deyu then asked with a smile.

Li Zhen shook his head, "The kid just wants to ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Deyu wave his hand and said with disgust: "Don't go soon, we don't have much time!" ”

Although He Renhou couldn't understand the meaning of the two of them, he still bowed slightly to Li Deyu, and then dragged Li Zhen, who was dressed as Jin Wuwei, and walked out quickly.

After the two left, the smile on Li Deyu's face gradually condensed, and his deep eyes looked out of the empty window, as if he was worried about something.

......

On the way to the Zilan Palace, Li Zhen didn't say a word, and it could be seen from his frowning brows that he was not at peace at this moment.

How can you be at peace?

He Renhou seemed to open his mouth to speak, but he swallowed it back every time.

"I know what you want to ask!"

Although Li Zhen has been following behind He Renhou, he can actually guess a few points.

"I have no intention of exploring the identity of Li Sima, but why is Wen Rao so sure that it is none other than Li Sima?"

He Renhou didn't look back, his footsteps didn't stop, but he finally had the courage to speak.

Li Zhen shook his head, if he wanted to explain to He Renhou, he had to explain his identity, but at this time, he ......

Li Zhen gritted his teeth, a little entangled.

It's not that he can't trust He Renhou, but he is not sure how He Renhou will react after knowing his identity, and even whether it will affect a series of plans in the future.

And once his identity is revealed, Aya will have to face a big problem after returning to the dynasty.

That is his own gift, after all, in the near future, Hexi will usher in a new situation, and his own trip to Hexi is already in Aya's plan.

At that time, the status of the prince is bound to bring a lot of inconvenience to himself.

Suddenly, Li Zhen stopped.

He Renhou stopped and turned around and looked at Li Zhen with some puzzlement.

"General He, are you willing to go to Hexi?"

Li Zhen's clueless words suddenly made He Renhou a little overwhelmed.

"Hexi? Why go to Hexi? He Renhou asked in a daze.

"Expelle Tubo and recover the eleven states of Hexi!"

He Renhou was stunned for a moment, "Why did Li Sima suddenly talk about this?" ”

"Answer me, would you like to go to the west of the river?" Li Zhen looked serious and asked again.

"As a soldier, it is He Mou's blessing to be able to die on the battlefield for Datang and be ashamed of his blood!"

He Renhou replied meticulously, his eyes full of fire.

"It's just that this matter is not He Mou'......"

Before He Renhou's words were finished, Li Zhen nodded and said, "That's good!" ”

He Renhou tried to open his mouth to ask, but saw Li Zhen walk in front of him and said slowly: "Every word I am about to say next, General He has never heard it, can you dare to swear?" ”

He Renhou suddenly felt a little dry mouth, his Adam's apple twitched slightly, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva, "Li Sima ......"

"General He dares to swear?" Li Zhen asked again.

"If He leaks Li Sima's words today, he will die without ......"

As soon as Li Zhen raised his hand, He Renhou's oath was still not finished.

"I am the eldest son of the emperor!"
