Chapter 978: The Dust Has Settled

Li Zhi was not angry because of this, because Wu Sansi's words were not alarmist.

With such a deep background of the martial arts, coupled with the deterrent power of Wu Zetian's control of the imperial power, no matter how tightly guarded Chang'an City is, the influence of the martial arts cannot be completely excluded.

Once the Wu clan really sits in the world, no matter how solid the protection is, it will cause cracks to grow due to internal reasons.

Moreover, if Wu Zetian is annoyed by this, a big war will be inevitable, and it will be the people of Chang'an who will suffer in the end.

Therefore, Li Zhi was also happy to get off the donkey, in order to gain the future support of the martial family.

Of course, this kind of support is limited to their blind eyes, as long as the benefits are sufficient, the martial arts will not take the initiative like the Trade City incident, even if it is done.

So Li Zhi pondered for a while, then faced the ram Junmao and said: "Mr. Ram, you have to pave the way for this matter with the Queen Mother in the future, but is there any difficulty?" ”

Where would the ram Junmao not know the reason, Li Zhi promised to let him go, it was already a great luck: "Mr. Li, please rest assured, I know what to do!" ”

After that, he looked at Wu Sansi:

"Second master, after Mr. Li explains tomorrow, please help introduce the Eight Kings, even if I ask for a merit in it, I will be cheeky and insert a foot! But I have to get involved in this matter, so that not only can I gain complete trust from the Queen Mother, but then I will explain the occurrence of the two incidents, so that the Queen Mother can cover up the past! ”

I have to say that it is not unreasonable for Wu Zetian to send this person.

In addition to his own strength, he came up with such an idea in a very short period of time, and his wisdom is so high that it must not be overlooked.

If this person wants to gain the full trust of the Queen Mother, he really has to take out some of his real achievements and take the initiative to help King Jiancheng find out where the rumors come from, which is undoubtedly a conclusive and credible verification method.

At the same time, it is logical that he attributed the two incidents to the twenty-three forces.

In this way, not only did the samurai family completely separate from it, but also helped King Jiancheng on the side, which was equivalent to tactfully elevating King Jiancheng's loyalty to the Queen Mother.

In just a few words, everything was skillfully resolved, which is where the wisdom of Ram Junmao lies, and it helps Li Zhi and Wu Sansi to build a foundation for cooperation.

However, all the premise is based on the fact that Wu Zetian was not really involved in the Trade City incident, but this was Li Zhi's deeper secret investigation.

Obviously, Ram Junmao's decision has already shown that the future empress did not inform in advance.

At the same time, it also verifies that the intention of the ram Junmao and his people to be sent to protect Wu Sansi is greater than the intention of exercising a certain type of conspiracy.

When Wu Sansi heard what Ram Junmao said, he quickly understood, and finally had a smile on his face.

But the two of them didn't know that Li Zhi had gained more, at least they knew that the ram Junmao was placed in Chang'an City, and so far, Wu Zetian had more willingness to maintain stability.

Maybe Wu Zetian will have another explanation for this person after he sits on the throne, and that will be a matter of the future, and there is no need to take precautions at the moment.

"Mr. Li, it seems that we should have a future cooperation between us?"

Wu Sansi is not stupid, combined with the extreme fear of Li Zhi from the previous self-listening ram Junmao, he knows that Li Zhizhi is not here.

Even if he didn't know the strength of the Grandmaster Realm of Ram Junmao, he could guess what he could guess from this person's indifference to the third-level masters in Muyun Mansion.

The only explanation for the existence of being able to transcend the realm of grandmasters is that such characters possess spiritual cultivation conditions that ordinary people do not know.

It can be inferred that the master in Li's mouth is true nine times out of ten.

If such a cultivator continues to stay in the existing environment, he will only cut off the opportunity for future development, so the truth of what Li Zhi said is undoubted.

Listening to the meaning of his words, and even the intention of trying to win him over, Li Zhixia felt funny:

"Cooperation is possible, but our positions are very different, which means that it is impossible to stand on the same front, which is a bit cruel but a reality! I only hope that General Wu can understand me as a lineage surnamed Li, and only have the heart to build the rapid development of Chang'an City's commerce, and only care about business-related matters when I go out of the city gate, I hope that similar things will happen less as well! ”

Wu Sansi did not expose him, Li Zhike not only paid attention to business, helped the military for free, and organized people to strangle the Dongying people across the sea, and almost single-handedly attracted the ally of the Arab Empire for the Tang Dynasty, which means that he is loyal to the Tang surnamed Li.

In Wu Sansi's opinion, he didn't want to provoke this person in his heart.

So he immediately continued: "It's good to have cooperation, and when I deal with Mr. Li in the future, I won't appear as a member of the martial family, and there are some things that Mr. Li understands in his heart!" ”

Li Zhi shook his head:

"I said, is it interesting to play dumb riddles like this? But that's for the future, shall we settle the matter at hand first? Your Lu Qinwang must be handed over to atone for his crimes, otherwise Mr. Ram will not be able to justify himself when he returns to Luoyang City, and with that scapegoat, your Luoyang martial artists can also excuse themselves! Nan Wuting is actually an excellent excuse, isn't it more in line to call those forces the remnants of Qu Liang? ”

When Gaozong attacked the samurai family because of the Guanghui Temple incident, they just used the excuse of the so-called remnants of extremism headed by Qu Liang.

Now that Wu Sansi wants to continue to bring out this set of rhetoric, it is nothing more than to give the Wu family and Wu Zetian a face.

Otherwise, Li Zhi would still insist on thoroughly investigating this incident, and then the Wu family would no longer be able to escape.

Suppressing the bitter smile in his heart, Wu Sansi still had to make a statement of relief that should be like this: "It's still Mr. Li who thinks it through, and I'll start arranging this matter immediately!" ”

"As for that Lu Qinwang, you should hand it over yourself, but you have to take specific measures in advance, otherwise it will not be good for us to let Lu Qinwang talk nonsense!" Li Zhi reminded.

"Good! Tonight, I will go to Jiancheng Mansion to discuss this matter, and I hope that Mr. Li can make a recommendation in the middle. ”

The martial arts family and the Eight Kings naturally don't need to be introduced, and Wu Sansi's rhetoric is intended to avoid embarrassment.

This kind of behavior is like cheating collectively, as the negligent party of the samurai, it is inevitable to see the place where the king is built, and there will be some psychological embarrassment.

Li Zhi nodded:

"The relevant documents of Sian Chay Mall, I took it from Muyun's mansion, and I will go to officially take it back tomorrow, those southern businessmen before now, I don't know where to go, can General Wu have a channel to find out?"

Knowing that the other party would pursue the matter, Wu Sansi did his homework before coming:

"I really asked for some information from Lu Qinwang's mouth about this, there are still a very small number of them left in the Trade City, after all, the cloth business they are engaged in is indispensable for our orders here! Tomorrow my people will rush to the Trade City and send the relevant list to Mr. ”

At this time, there is no longer any hidden meaning, and the affiliated forces of the martial arts family can have this list, of course, it is a deliberate move, and its purpose is not purely inevitable.

Fortunately, at the beginning of Sian Chay Mall's business, it had not yet had time to deal with it, so taking the initiative to take it out at this time can be regarded as an attitude expression.

"Then the remaining twenty forces will also be handed over to General Wu, my requirements are not high, and several of the leaders must be taken! And I want to see the specific compensation items within two days, and if I can't meet the requirements, I will come to the door to ask for it in person! ”

It is unrealistic to eradicate all the forces attached to the samurai, after all, these forces have high-ranking officials in the court, and a considerable number of them have now moved to Luoyang.

The implication of Li Zhi's words is to let Wu Sansi pick out some insufficient ones and use them to make some superficial articles on the aftermath.

It is the best to be able to achieve the current effect in a stable state of affairs, at least to ensure that these large and small miscellaneous fish mixed in Chang'an City will no longer dare to act unscrupulously in the future.

First of all, the Chang'an martial arts family was preserved, and a goodwill message was sent to Wu Zetian, the forces surnamed Li did not want to stay in Chang'an City to engage in an independent kingdom, and in a purely commercial sense, they did not exclude the participation and benefit acquisition of the martial arts.

And you, the future empress, should also give due consideration, don't overly suppress the forces surnamed Li, at least in the face of the surname Li, who has no obvious opposition to the Wu dynasty, you should be treated separately.

In fact, due to Li Zhi's involvement, nearly half of the Wu clan forces in this life have been attacked in advance.

The crisis faced by the royal family surnamed Li is also much luckier than in the previous life.

If Wu Zetian is as ruthless and ferocious as in his previous life in the future, Li Zhi will have to come to the door to solve part of the mystery.

But no matter what, the suppression of the forces of the previous dynasty by those in power belongs to the inherent routine of regime change, so Li Zhi has no ability to take care of the forces surnamed Li all over the Tang Dynasty.

As long as he protects Chang'an City and the surrounding forces surnamed Li as much as possible, and leaves a backbone for the future rise of Li Tang, he is enough to be worthy of his responsibility.

In fact, Gaozong's request to him is the same, otherwise Wu Zetian in the court does not have the slightest sense of control of imperial power, which will only attract her further pressure.

As for Li Zhi's request, it was the result of Wu Sansi's discussion with those forces, and he naturally made some guarantees at the moment.

After sending the two away, Li Zhi quickly invited the two old people out and described the process in detail.

The matter has come to this point, and the two of them can't say anything about this result, but they ask to rush to the palace with him to see the final result.

So half an hour later, everyone sat in the guest hall where the palace was built.

Due to the suddenness of the incident and the transmission of relevant information, there was not only King Jiancheng in the house, but also King Xuan, King Ming, King Lao Ming, and King Linhuai County were all present.

After listening to Li Zhi's explanation, everyone obviously exhaled a mouthful of turbidity, and the sense of comfort was stronger.

No one could have imagined that Li Zhi would actually occupy the upper hand on Wu Sansi in all aspects, and by the way, he also showed the credit of King Jiancheng.
