It was already late at night, when the Mingde Gate of Chang'an City was about to close, more than a dozen military horses galloped from afar, frightening hundreds of people who were ready to go out of the city to dodge on both sides, and the cavalry team arrived in an instant, and the leading officer held a token high and shouted: "Eight hundred miles of emergency military situation!" Move. ”

The soldiers defending the city recognized the token and hurriedly dodged a road, and the cavalry rushed into Chang'an City without stopping.

．．．．．．．．

Cui Yuanhuo stood up, "What! Zhu Xicai is dead? ”

His eyes immediately darkened, and he sat down on the couch heavily, Zhu Xicai was actually dead, he couldn't believe that the news was true anyway.

"Qi Xiangguo, thirteen captains want to join forces to rebel, General Zhu died in the chaos in order to stop them, His Majesty has posthumously awarded him Zhu Guogong, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions..."

"What about the thirteen captains?" Cui Yuan asked unusually weakly.

"Back to Xiangguo, all thirteen people have been subdued!"

Cui Yuan waved his hand weakly, "I know, I will reward you with 100 yuan of money, go ahead!" ”

The messenger Xie En retreated, Cui Yuan closed his eyes tiredly, his brain was blank, he failed to seize power, and he actually lost one of the most powerful cadres, which was a heavy setback that he had never had in more than ten years, and it was even more serious than the failure of the last time he established the prince.

When did the Li family become so powerful?

A pale and thin face appeared in Cui Yuan's mind, the Son of Heaven, who had been addicted to wine for fifteen years, seemed to be a different person since the beginning of the year.

"Li Department!" He muttered twice, and he suddenly gritted his teeth, "You can be arrogant!" The old man wants to see how long you can laugh? ”

Soon he recovered his composure from Zhu Xicai's death, reached out and gently pulled the rope, and the big butler immediately appeared at the door,

"Go! Get me Zhu Zhu. ”

The chief butler hesitated, "Master, it's already late at night, he will affect the master's rest, and the master's body is ......"

Cui Yuan glanced at him coldly, and the chief butler was frightened and went in a panic.

Cui Yuan closed his eyes for a while, then sat up straight again, he took the military report and looked at it carefully again, "Establish the Tianqi Battalion, this is interesting, if you set up the Longwu Army, he will set up the Tianqi Battalion," Cui Yuan snorted and continued to look down.....

Suddenly, his eyes stopped, and he saw an extremely familiar name, Zhang Huan, the general of the Heavenly Riding Camp, 'Zhang Huan? Cui Yuan was stunned for a moment, Zhang Huan became a general in the Tianqi camp!

Cui Yuan stood up suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't see it clearly, he walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, suddenly, he stopped, and the knot in his heart was suddenly untied, it was the Hedong Army, the Zhang family's army was actually used as a heavenly cavalry camp by the Li Department, and it really coincided with his own speculation, this is the conclusive evidence of their collusion. ”

"Li Department, Zhang Family" Cui Yuan smiled coldly, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Zhang Ruohao, it seems that the old man can't let you go if he wants to!" ”

At this time, there was a slight knock on the door, and the chief butler said outside the door: "Master! Zhu Jun came and waited at the door. ”

"Let him in." Cui Yuan quickly put away the battle report.

"The last general, Zhu Jun, knocks to see Lord Xiangguo!" Zhu Jun strode in and made a half-kneeling bow to Cui Yuan cleanly.

Cui Yuan waved his hand gently and smiled: "Come on!" Sit down and talk. ”

Zhu Jun sat down, he straightened up and waited for Cui Yuan to continue questioning.

"I heard that the whole of the Long Wujun is complaining, why is this?"

Zhu Jun hurriedly bowed and said: "Most of the children of the Longwu Army are from the official eunuchs and children of the family in the capital, they are more majestic than murderous, I train them hard every day, just to grind away their impetuous spirit and become a real army." ”

"Oh! That's the reason, so how does it work? ”

Zhu Jun shook his head slightly, looking a little frustrated.

Cui Yuan saw it in his eyes, he smiled and diverted the topic: "The siege of the West Surrender City has been lifted, do you have any news of your father?" ”

"Reporting to Xiangguo, my subordinate father has passed away." Zhu Jun had no expression on his face, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Cui Yuan was stunned, the purpose of his call to Zhu Jun was to comfort him, but he already knew in advance.

"When did you get the news?"

"An hour ago, one of my father's own soldiers fled back and reported it to me." Zhu Jun still replied calmly.

Cui Yuan stared at him deeply, and in just one hour, did he look as usual? After a while, Cui Yuan said again: "Do you know how he died?" ”

"Yes, I know!" Zhu Jun slowly lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sad." ”

"I'm sad too!" Cui Yuan paced slowly in the room with his hands behind his back, his voice low and slow, "Your father has always been my right-hand man, and his death is a huge loss to me, I hope you can fill this gap." ”

He walked up to Zhu Jun, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "Do a good job, I know your wish very well, maybe one day our relationship can go further." ”

Zhu Jun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately knelt down and made a big salute to Cui Yuan, "Thank you Xiangguo for your success!" ”

"Thank you for being a little early."

Cui Yuan smiled faintly and said, "My daughter is not so easy to marry, go ahead!" Show me well. ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Jun straightened his waist and strode out of the door, Cui Yuan watched his back disappear, and his face suddenly showed a disdainful coldness, "Pretend in front of me, you are still a little tender!" ”

．．．．．．．．．．

On the tenth day after Zhu Xicai's death, Duan Xiushi's illness gradually improved, and the Li family left Zhang Yansheng to temporarily assist Duan Xiushi, and he himself went to the capital under the escort of Zhang Huan's 3,000 military horses.

It was the time of the great heat, and a milky white mist filled the air, enveloping the trees in the distance, and the trees exuded a burning smell.

On this day, less than thirty miles away from Fengxiang, the cavalry team lined up on the official road, and despite the hot weather, the three thousand cavalry were still neat and full of spirit.

"What are you laughing at?"

Zhang Huan saw that Li Hengqiu, who had just been promoted to a tooth general, laughed from time to time, so he snorted and said disdainfully: "What can you think about all day except for a woman?" ”

"Not this time!"

Li Hengqiu scratched the back of his head and grinned: "I made a fortune this time, I wonder if my daughter-in-law and mother know about it, I don't know how happy they will be?" ”

"What about you?"

Zhang Huan pointed at another soldier with a whip and smiled: "I heard that you got a lot of gems, do you want to divide half of them?" ”

The soldier hesitated, reluctantly took out a cloth bag from his arms, handed it to Zhang Huan, and said, "Oh! It's all here, the general picks it himself! ”

When Zhang Huan saw that he really took it out, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, and chased after the carriage of the Li family.

"What is Aiqing laughing at?" Li pulled the window and asked with interest.

"Your Majesty, the minister's subordinates are all homesick."

Li glanced at him and smiled, "What about you?" Who are you thinking? ”

"No one wants to!"

"Really?" Li Department's eyes suddenly swelled with strong interest, "You are famous this time, I don't know how many celebrities in the capital are rushing to marry you, tell me, who are you interested in?" I asked the queen to be the matchmaker for you. ”

Zhang Huan smiled and said nothing, he suddenly remembered Cui Ning, he hadn't seen her for a few months, and he didn't know how she was now?

．．．．．．．．．

At night, the team finally arrived in Fengxiang County, the sky was already dark, and a light rain began to fall in the air, and the Li family lived in a palace in Fengxiang County.

The palace is not large, composed of dozens of houses, exquisitely furnished, quite like the house of a wealthy family, its east side is a military camp, generally used to station the Yulin army, and now stationed Zhang Huan's 3,000 military horses.

In the evening, Jiang Lian, the assassin of Fengxiang County, rushed to meet the Li Department and reported to him the major events that had happened in the imperial court in the past few months.

Not long after Jiang Jian left, Chen Xianfu, the newly promoted head of the Li family, hurriedly found Zhang Huan, "General, go and persuade him!" Your Majesty is angry, scared to death! ”

When Zhang Huan walked to the door, he heard 'Bang! There was a loud bang on the ground, and an inkstone flew out and smashed on the door frame, falling to the ground and breaking into three petals.

"Bold!" The sound of Li Xi gritting his teeth came from a low voice in the room.

Zhang Huan stepped into the room, only to see Li Tie with his hands behind his back, his face swollen red, like a wounded beast scurrying back and forth in the room, with a low roar coming out of his throat from time to time.

"Your Majesty! Please stop being angry. ”

When Li saw Zhang Huan coming in, he was full of anger before he slowly restrained himself, he took out a copy of the newspaper, threw it in front of Zhang Huan and said, "Look at what the woman in Taiji Palace has done, she dared to issue an order to extend Cui Yuan's position as the right minister indefinitely." ”

Zhang Huan glanced at the Di newspaper, which he had seen when he was in Daijun, but he didn't tell the Li department, although Cui Yuan used the means, it was reasonable for him to continue to be the prime minister.

Li Xian saw that Zhang Huan's face was not as surprised as he imagined, and the anger in his heart gradually burned to Zhang Huan, "What! Do you already know? ”

"Your Majesty, this is also the first time that the minister has heard of this."

Zhang Huan bowed and saluted, "Can you allow Chen to say a few words?" ”

"Say it!" Li Xian's face changed rapidly, and finally he sighed helplessly and slowly sat back on the couch.

"Does Your Majesty remember that when the minister was dismissed by the Queen Mother, he said that the Queen Mother was used by Cui Yuan, and now she has been completely controlled and has become Cui Yuan's puppet."

"Go on!" Li was silent in thought, his eyes were always fixed on a certain point, and he didn't move.

"Cui Yuan's purpose in using her is just to have a glamorous succession phase, so as to block the mouths of the world, and the minister thinks that after the battle of Longyou, there is actually no suspense about his continued appointment as the right minister."

Li Xian picked his eyes and glanced at Zhang Huan, "Why?" ”

"Because he already has the strongest strength!"

Zhang Huan said lightly: "Your Majesty, think about it, besides Cui Yuan, who else can do this position?" ”

"But I'm really not reconciled!"

Thinking that he would be restrained by Cui Yuan for another five years, Li was depressed in his heart, he walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and sighed: "Doesn't he really have a handle for me to grab?" ”

'Handle? Zhang Huan secretly sneered, Cui Yuan's handle was in his arms!
