Because of this drastic change, Lu Zhen and Fang Chuang, who were in charge of Hengzhou's military affairs, wantonly arrested assassins in the city, forcing Qiu Kangzong, the deputy envoy of the Longxiang battalion, to leave Hengzhou under the cover of Wang Tingcuo.

Lin Ying read this secret file and asked Qiu Kangzong: "You also believe in this kind of thing, don't you think it's naïve" Qiu Kangzong said: "The matter of Hengzhou is no longer possible, Taiwei Li doesn't want to change his virtue, so he sent someone to give our bottom to Wang Chengsu, causing the royal court to fall short, and no one will be able to break the current deadlock for a while." ”

Lin Ying said: "Even so, you shouldn't bring this thing back, this matter involves Taiwei Li, how can Your Majesty believe it." ”

Qiu Kangzong said: "This secret file is searched from the dark room of the gale file, and it is not difficult to identify its authenticity. ”

Lin Ying said: "You tell me the truth, whether this thing was done by you or not." ”

Qiu Kangzong said: "I have eaten the courage of the ambitious leopard, dare to engage in this thing or someone has stuffed this thing in the dark room of the gale stall, but this person is definitely not me, I will take the head of the person as a guarantee." ”

Lin Ying nodded: "I will verify this matter, don't show up for the time being." ”

Lin Ying immediately came to the Longxiang Camp Prison, and proposed a person from inside, this person is a senior member of the Tonghu Head, who was captured by the Longxiang Camp in Bianzhou a month ago, and secretly transferred to Chang'an, where he was tortured in the Longxiang Camp Prison, but he refused to vomit anything, Lin Ying wanted to make a deal with him this time.

There was only one small door in the reception room, guarded by Lin Ying's henchmen, and when the visitor was escorted into the door with handcuffs and shackles, Lin Ying got up to greet him, signaling to open his handcuffs left and right, but the shackles were not removed.

"I've been an old friend for many years, and I'm also very sad to come to this point, but in officialdom, I can't help myself."

The person who was beaten in an inhuman form smiled bitterly at the moment: "You are not here to see me off, you are here to negotiate terms with me, don't be verbose, just say what you have to say." ”

Lin Ying laughed and instructed the tortured person to give a glass of salt and white water left and right.

The man was not polite, and took a sip, but the salt was so heavy that he had no intention of taking a second sip. He was once one of the leaders of the Zi Bronze Tiger Head, with a high and powerful position, but now although his power is no longer there, his majesty is still undiminished, his name is Zhao Jinglai.

Lin Yingdao: "In the old days, Wang Shiyuan sent someone to assassinate Wu Yuanheng, did you participate in it?" ”

Zhao Jinglai was silent, and Lin Ying said: "If you don't speak, I will acquiesce to you." ;;;;;;;;;;;;; ”

Zhao Jinglai said: "Whether I say it or not, what does it matter, you were also in Tonghutou at that time, you know best in your heart, but I shouldn't say it in front of the emperor, it's useless to say it." Since you want to leave a way back for yourself, I think you might as well spend more money, let me go, and I will give you what you want. ”

Lin Ying smiled: "I want a real guy, don't you want to coax me." ”

Zhao Jinglai said: "The blue is better than the blue, we people are old, how can we still coax you"

Three days later, Lin Ying entered the palace and handed Li Chun a secret file, saying that the operation of the Longxiang camp in Hengzhou had to be suspended because of an unexpected discovery. After reading this secret file, Li Chun was silent for a long time, but asked Lin Ying for a long time: "How credible is this thing?" Without waiting for Lin Ying to answer, he slammed the thick file on the ground and said angrily: "Why did the Li family brothers treat me like this, I asked myself how sorry I was for them." ”

Lin Ying didn't dare to defend himself, Li Chun's temper has become more and more irritable recently, even the closest people around him often beat and kill if he doesn't go with his heart, although Lin Ying is not worried that he will kill himself, but it is very likely that he will be humiliated.

He secretly glanced at Wang Shoucheng, the left privy envoy who was kneeling beside him, Wang Shoucheng's face sank, calmly straightened his waist and put away the file that fell on the ground, and returned it to the table, never daring to read a word from beginning to end.

Li Chun waved his hand and asked Lin Ying to go down, and let people find Tutu Chenghuang, because the right privy envoy was vacant, and the lieutenant of the left Shence Protector Tutu Chenghuang was still holding the position of the privy envoy at the moment, both leading the troops and participating in secrets, he was really the most favored person around the Son of Heaven, even so, seeing the battle in front of him, Tutu Chenghuang was also trembling, and he knelt down for a long time and didn't dare to say anything.

The chamberlain closed the door of the palace, and the huge hall was terrifying, and suddenly Tu Chenghuang glanced at Wang Shoucheng, he couldn't get any useful information, he and Wang Shoucheng were not all the way, and they wouldn't reveal any useful information to him.

Li Chun's anger was suddenly hooked, and he roared hysterically at the two: "How can you be so deceitful, what does he think of me?"

Later, he didn't understand what was going on in front of him, and in the face of Li Chun in anger, he didn't dare to ask anything, so he could only sneak a glance at the secret file.

was caught by Li Chun, so the secret file fell viciously in front of him, and the shocked old eunuch trembled with fat meat.

"Look at it, take your dog's eyes to see what the great loyal ministers you have done to me, look, I will see if you want to see it."

Tutu Chenghuang opened the file tremblingly, although he was panicked, he still read this secret file word for word, and the strange thing is that this secret file did not mention Li Mao from beginning to end.

"Tell me, tell me what my loyal ministers have done to me"

Tutu Chenghuang lay on the ground and said, "According to the old minister, this matter has nothing to do with Taiwei Li. ”

"There is nothing involved, is it, you say, such a big hand, not him Taiwei Li, who else can do it to assassinate the prime minister of the dynasty, such a big thing, he a small big wind stall dared to put the evidence in the secret file for ten years He Wang Shiyuan did not die early or late did not die, but he died at this time, but this thing let the Long Xiang camp turn it over, but the former commander of the copper tiger head was arrested in Bianzhou, but he was willing to give in to me, and I turned out the details of the expenditure that spent money to buy assassins, It's really a big deal, don't you think it's someone playing a big game of chess, treating so many capable and famous people as chess pieces, have you done it suddenly, do you Wang Shoucheng have this ability?"

Tutu Chenghuang lay on the ground, trembling all over, but Wang Shoucheng responded in a voice like a mosquito and a fly: "Everyone is sage." ”

Li Chun stood up suddenly, his body was crooked, he suddenly vomited Chenghuang and wanted to support, but he didn't dare to get up, Wang Shoucheng took the first step and handed over his left arm, Li Chun stood up with his arm, walked around the hall, coughed continuously, with blood in the sputum, and the palace people outside the hall did not dare to come in without being summoned,

Tutu Chenghuang gritted his teeth, risked being kicked down by the emperor, and walked out of the hall to summon the imperial doctor kneeling under the corridor to enter the hall.

Sure enough, he was slapped by Li Chun, but the imperial doctor who was summoned in was not affected.

Tutu Chenghuang fell and got up again, busy around the Son of Heaven without regrets, this time Li Chun didn't hit him again, just looked at his face in disappointment, Tutu Chenghuang was in a cold sweat and then in a cold sweat, and his clothes were sweaty for a while, and the whole person was about to collapse.

The imperial physician was driven out of the temple, Tutu Chenghuang personally closed the door of the palace, came back and knelt down, the sweat was no longer flowing, the whole body began to tremble, the hands and feet were stiff, the head was lightheaded, and there were signs of dizziness.

Li Chun retracted his cold gaze, sat on the dragon bed and sighed, Wang Shoucheng hurriedly served tea, his hands and feet were nimble, and he was not in a hurry.

Li Chun didn't drink tea, he just sniffed the fragrance of tea, put the bowl down, and glanced at Tutu Chenghuang: "Are you involved in this matter?" ”

"It's good that I wasn't implicated, Taiwei Li didn't want me to use soldiers to become virtuous, and gave me a reason not to use soldiers, so I fulfilled his wish and used soldiers in Yunzhou, who made the Li brothers unstable. Immediately drafted the purpose: to Pei Du as the Yunzhou envoy, Tutu Chengxuan as the deputy envoy and the left and right Shence camp and other military commanders, Li Yu as the camp Jiedu envoy, Xuanwu, Wuning, Huainan, Weibo, Yicheng, Zhaoyi, Chengde, Yingmo, Youzhou, Yingping, Hedong Eleven Towns, left and right Shence army crusade against Li Shidao, to avenge Wu Yuanheng, Li Shidao is a heinous crime, to turn his old bottom to the world. ”

Wang Shoucheng played: "Li Maogui is a lieutenant and a martial king, so he should be distinguished from the generals. ”

Li Chundao: "Give him a Yunzhou envoy to fight from all sides, what does Aiqing think?"

Wang Shoucheng said: "Your Majesty Shengming. ”

The edict was drafted, Pei Du, Li Jiang and others only learned that the imperial court was going to use troops to Ziqing, and they looked at each other for a while, such a military event, the emperor did not discuss with the prime minister, but only decided with the left and right privy envoys in the secret room in a few words, all the prime ministers were frustrated, especially Pei Du and Li Jiang felt the cold wind.

The Son of Heaven has enjoyed the country for a long time, and gradually lost the sharpness he had when he first ascended to the throne, especially since the chaos in Huaixi, the Son of Heaven is like a different person, becoming suspicious, irritable, and calculating. He is no longer as broad-minded as before, thinking of the common people in the world, but has become the pursuit of pleasure, advocating extravagance, he has built a lot of buildings, expanded the harem, pavilions and pavilions, and the palace is full of colorful women, he still feels that he can not be satisfied;

He is no longer diligent and thrifty, and he has become extravagant, indulging in singing, dancing and feasting, and unable to extricate himself from the wine pond and meat forest. He began to give up the pursuit of earthly achievements, began to envy the gods, pursued immortality and eternity, and tirelessly explored the other world. He is no longer humble and obedient, unwilling to listen to the advice of the contrary, and unwilling to see upright courtiers.

He lives in the inner palace all day long, unwilling to show his face, unwilling to summon the world's ministers, and his side is a Taoist priest in addition to a Taoist priest, but there is no loyal minister of the pillar country. He should be more in the decision-making system of the Tang Dynasty, planning for major military affairs and the Privy Council, promulgating the Zhongshu Sect, and the prime ministers of the two provinces obey the orders, and have neither the right to refute them, let alone participate in decision-making.

Since Li Jifu's death, the prime ministers he has used are both shallow in qualifications, poor in popularity, and very average in ability, which is difficult to meet the expectations of the public.

This is the prime minister who leads the ministers and assists the yin and yang, at best, this is just a microphone placed by the Son of Heaven in the previous dynasty and a history of books, and the middle book has been dwarfed into the office of the two privy envoys. It is no longer difficult for the prime minister to take on the mission of assisting the Son of Heaven and leading the government.

Everything is changing, but what remains unchanged is the deep anxiety of the ministers about this troubled country.

When the dynasty was dispersed, Li Jiang wanted to say something to Pei Du, but Pei Du stopped him with his gaze, and the two old partners who were close to each other had to look at each other and retreat silently.
