Wu Chengsi nodded and stepped forward, and raised his big finger flatteringly:

"It is said that Mr. Li is extremely skilled, and the world does not deceive me, which is really extraordinary! I, Wu Chenghei, am convinced! ”

A sense of sadness rose in Li Zhi's heart, not because he felt sad, but because he felt helpless.

The person in front of him is the head of a dignified martial arts family, and he actually has such a fickle magical personality.

The noble and the lowly can be freely converted in an instant, where is there still a trace of the dignity of the emperor's relatives and relatives.

At this time, he suddenly thought of what kind of shame would Wu Zetian have in his heart if he knew that his own nephew was such a person who was so good at collecting grievances and seeking flattery?

At this time, a group of people led by Princess Taiping rushed over, and a team of soldiers stepped forward to clean up the killing scene.

"Cousin, what's going on? Watching the play, you two will make a fuss? ”

Taiping's dissatisfaction caused Wu Chengsi to smile bitterly in his heart, where am I messing around, this person is a murderer at all, okay?

But there was a relaxed look on his face as if he had unloaded a burden:

"Where, where, it was a verbal conflict for a while, which led to some differences of opinion, and now it has long been resolved!"

Princess Taiping knows the virtue of her cousin: "Why is there still bloodshed?" ”

"That's because my subordinates don't know the inside story, and they recklessly ran over and disturbed Mr. Li!"

Wu Chengsi replied like this, not to mention that the slap mark on his face had not disappeared, so that Taiping quickly understood: "Cousin, leave it to me here, do you stay here and continue to watch the play, or ......"

"I'll still be in the city, Mr. Li told me to do something, and I can't delay!"

Wu Chengsi replied like this, although the bitterness in his heart was more than the pretentiousness on his face.

When he took people away, King Jiancheng asked, "Text, what's going on?" ”

Li Zhi didn't explain much, "It's just a misunderstanding, his subordinates don't know what's going on, and that's it!" Eight kings, go to the play, I'll be there later. By the way, let Qingqi and the others go back, nothing will happen! ”

Seeing that all the ladies in the restaurant also appeared together, as more and more people came out to take a look, he hurriedly asked King Jiancheng to cover up.

King Song seemed to understand the reason better, and pulled up King Jiancheng with a smile and left: "Remember to hurry up, the drama core (hu) is about to arrive!" ”

He knew that no matter how big the conflict was, with Princess Taiping here, it could be resolved intact, and he knew that Li Zhi would naturally have his reason for doing so.

Waiting for the group to leave, Li Zhicai told everything that had just happened.

Taiping smiled dumbly: "Just for the sake of a verbal conflict, you want to kill someone?" Brother, you're not in the right mood today. ”

"Okay, in fact, you have already guessed my intentions, and this smile is revealed!" Li Zhi glanced at her angrily.

Taiping covered his mouth lightly, and did not forget to turn his head and glance at the situation in the distance: "You can really become famous in Luoyang now, dare to beat Prime Minister Wu and kill his subordinates casually!" ”

"He deserves it! I and King Jiancheng helped the martial artist cover such a big lid, and said what was wrong with him? actually thought of lending the Queen Mother to spread rumors to provoke the surname Li, and it was too despicable to do things! ”

Someone was watching from afar, and Taiping was not good at making intimate movements, so he could only laugh in a low voice:

"Seeing you beat him, in fact, I feel comfortable in my heart, and I also think that such a deterrence is far more effective than pretending to be a posture, and I also know how the martial brothers are!"

"Do you really think so?" Li Zhi said curiously.

Taiping nodded:

"Luoyang City is now very cruel to the suppression of the clan surnamed Li, how can I say that I am also surnamed Li, and I have some blood relationship with those people. My eldest cousin, but he has some supervision rights over Zhou Xing. ”

Zhou Xing is another famous cool official, who studied law since he was a teenager, and after entering the office, he served as the capital of Shangshu Province, and was in charge of the prison after moving Sinong Shaoqing and Qiuguan Shilang.

There is a big difference from a pure ruffian like Lai Junchen, but he is better at speculating on Wu Zetian's intentions, while Lai Junchen is very popular with whistleblowers, opening prisons, instigating Zhou Xing's confession and implementing a more high-pressure control policy.

Both of them are dedicated to informing and framing them, arresting generals and killing officials, so that the government and the opposition are terrified and dare not speak up.

Sadly, the long-standing idiom of "please enter the urn" happened between the two of them, and I have to say that it is also an alternative irony.

Li Zhiyan said:

"I really underestimated this person before, the rapid change of his face, and the change of attitude after recognizing the situation, but I was shocked! This kind of character who can bend and stretch actually makes me feel cold in my vest for a moment, it's a character! ”

When Taiping came, he saw the humble expression on Wu Chenghe's face, and when he heard the words, he knew the meaning of Li Zhi's words, and said happily:

"That is, the martial brothers are very famous for their ability to take advantage of the situation, and this is all driven by the wildness of their hearts, otherwise how could the previous Nanwuting incident happen!"

"Oh? Is this your personal opinion, or does the Queen Mother feel this way? ”

"Mother is much more shrewd than I am, she can't see what! Behind this rumor, my mother couldn't help but distort it, but I saw it with my own eyes, although I didn't express the anger in my chest to me, but the anger in my eyes at that moment also flashed in an instant! ”

"King Jiancheng came to Luoyang, didn't you have time to meet the Queen Mother yet? How do you know this? ”

"The Zichen Hall I went to last night is now her bedroom. At that time, she saw a person in front of her, accompanied by a ram Junmao, and seemed to be in awe of that person! ”

Li Zhi frowned: "Are you suspicious that that person is higher than the realm of the ram Junmao?" ”

Taiping nodded: "It's not important, but it's obvious that in addition to the ram Junmao, that person should be another source of information for the mother." Because after the two of them left, I was allowed to enter the study and saw her expression at that time! ”

"How do you know that it is about the martial brothers?"

My mother then asked me if I knew about the rumors, and I answered truthfully, and I did not know the content until my brother told me. Mother then sighed, there is no successor to the Li Tang clan, how can our martial arts family ever be called a great weapon? They are all raccoon dogs, with no ambitions, but their hearts are higher than the sky, and they only know how to plot some sneaky methods! ”

"Well, it seems that your analysis is correct!"

Li Zhi said that, he casually put a layer of prohibition around the two of them, and Taiping only felt that with a wave of his hands, there was a lot less noise outside.

He then said solemnly: "Today I have gone to see a person, and I will unite with her, so that your mother will agree to the future marriage as soon as possible!" ”

She listened to Li Zhi's story too calmly, and the expression on her face changed complicatedly, until she knew the reason, she covered her mouth and giggled:

"It turns out that my brother and Wan'er also have a relationship, but this is something that my sister never expected, without my help, I want to come to my brother to know the secrets in the palace!"

Li Zhi ignored her frivolous ridicule, and explained the discussion with Shangguan Wan'er in detail.

Taiping was overjoyed for a while, but turned to a sad face: "Although this method can be effective as soon as possible, I don't know if the proposal provided by my brother can be valued by my mother?" ”

Li Zhi first mentioned the construction of the famous hall, Wu Zetian not only advocated Tang Gaozong to seal the Zen, but also actively assisted Gaozong to build the Ming Hall.

She has long had the intention of being the emperor, but in order to bring the world to her heart, she has taken various measures to suppress the rebellion of the Li Tang clan with an iron fist, which is only the beginning.

Bailuo was mapped, sealed Luoshui and Songshan, and preached the will of heaven, which is still a matter of the future, and only the first construction of the famous hall is the primary move to show political authority, consolidate power, and prepare for the enthronement and emperor.

In fact, this woman already had a similar plan in her heart, and Li Zhi put it forward, which was a key step to obtain some of her approval.

According to the saying of today's era, Mingtang is the palace of the Son of Heaven, so it follows the weather, rules all things, moves the law in the two instruments, and consolidates the rule of virtue in the four seas, so that the foundation of the imperial power is long-term stability.

It is also the absolute track of Shao Baiwang, the rule of ten thousand generations, the upper is strictly matched with the ancestors, and the lower is to respect the people, so that people know the etiquette and music, the Tao is moderate and neutral, the disaster does not happen, and the disaster does not do the strict matching, and the residence of the government.

To understand it in layman's terms, the royal ceremonies of the successive dynasties at that time all attached importance to the declaration of policies and the education of the people through the Mingtang, and at the same time, through the Mingtang Announcement, when the people were honored, the calendar was promulgated to gather the virtue of the gods of heaven and earth.

At the same time, worship the gods, strictly match the ancestors, the will of heaven to dominate the world, with filial piety to influence the people, and timely reward the ministers, amnesty to the world, so as to win the hearts of the people.

If Wu Zetian can get such advice from Li Zhi, it at least shows that he really has no intention of getting involved in government affairs, and he also regards him as the only person who is capable of taking charge of the Tang Dynasty at present.

This move is inevitably a bit of a flattery of rebellion, but with Wu Zetian's understanding of Li Zhi, he categorically will not believe this superficial display.

Moreover, the construction of construction in Luoyang City is now in advance.

The construction of the Ming Hall is a symbol of Wu Zetian's determination to be the emperor of imperial power, and for Li Zhi, it is a recognition of her future governance.

The key lies in the royal Shangqing Zun on Li Zhi's body, as well as the Shang Fang sword in his hand.

With the approval of such a person holding high the banner of the royal family surnamed Li, the validity of his suggestion is far less effective than the interpretation of silent approval, which makes Wu Zetian feel more comfortable.

Illustrating this significance, the stunned look on Taiping's face was gradually replaced by surprise.

She no longer knows the doorways in politics, and she has grown up in a royal environment since she was a child, where she still does not understand the significance of Mingtang to her mother.

And she has been in Luoyang for a long time, and she is pampered by her mother's side, and she has never heard of the construction of Mingtang, so she obviously still has quite concerns in her heart, after all, the situation at this time is at a treacherous time.

Don't take Li Zhi's initiative lightly, there are a group of kings surnamed Li gathered around him.

In other words, these words were not his personal thoughts, and there must have been the tacit approval of several kings.

At least he has the ability to get those people to agree with this move, maybe he can't solve the opposition of the entire Tang Dynasty, at least within Chang'an City, there will be no obvious objections.
