When Li Zhi strode into the Lizheng Palace, Mei Niang was feeding Li Xian porridge. Seeing him walking back, she didn't move, just turned her head, said a few words to Li Xian with a smile, and let her son go play by himself.

Then she got up and walked to the back of the hall. He followed her, step by step.

In the eyes of Yuming, who came in to return to the situation, it was clear that Li Xian followed Mei Niang on weekdays. That look made her can't help but smile.

But he just smiled, and stepped forward and said, "See the Lord and Niangniang." ”

Li Zhi turned his head a little embarrassed when he heard this, glanced at her, and then looked at Mei Niang, and didn't say much.

Mei Niang said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

"Niangniang, then Li Yifu sent some things again. Excuse me, ...... mother."

"Handed over to the treasury." She turned her head and said no more.

When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately opened his mouth: "Stay, what is it?" ”

Yuming looked at Mei Niang, and said lightly after a while: "Say yes...... Said to be some new kind of plaything, into the mother's. ”

"Stay." Li Zhi only said two words, and then glanced at Mei Niang.

Mei Niang ignored it, and just continued to turn around and look for books.

Yuming looked at Mei Niang, and then at Li Zhi, but he was also clever, and left in response.

“…… In the future, if he sends something, you just have to accept it. I'll deal with it then. Li Zhi snorted and said.

Mei Niang's expression was indifferent and silent.

"When are you going to talk to me?"

She still didn't speak.

"I'm asking you......" Li Zhi couldn't help it, reached out and grabbed her, forcing her to turn around and look at herself. But as soon as he met those calm and indifferent eyes, he lost his confidence again, let go of his hand, and said softly after a while: "You...... Do you really hate me? ”

"Why hate? Poison is not under Jiro, people are not killed by Jiro, everything is done by others. Mei Niang's words were soft, but when Li Zhi heard it, it was like a white blade with blood, and the words were sad.

Li Zhi's whole body was cold, and he trembled for a while before he said softly: "You...... Are you really ...... Won't ......"

"Mei Niang shouldn't resent Jiro, let alone hate Jiro. It's just ......" Mei Niang closed her eyes slightly, and sighed after a while: "It's just that there are some things, it's Mei Niang, it's them...... It's Jiro...... I need time ......"

She paused and said bitterly: "No matter how they are, they are always Mei Niang's mother sisters." It's like no matter how bad Jiro shouldn't be, Jiro is Jiro.

The three of you are all connected to Mei Niang's flesh and blood, and your bones are connected! ”

Li Zhi's whole body trembled, and after a while, he said lightly: "You say that...... You're still complaining about me. But I ...... I'm here for you......"

"Jiro is Mei Niang, Mei Niang is clear. It's just that Jiro should know that these things really shouldn't be handled by Jiro...... Even if Mei Niang came by herself, it shouldn't have been Jiro's arrival. ”

Mei Niang looked at Li Zhi with a flat gaze: "This is Mei Niang's injustice, and it is also Mei Niang's sin." Mei Niang never intended to let it go. So these things should have been handled by Mei Niang. ”

Li Zhi lowered his head, and said lightly for a long time: "If you do it, then you will be the sin of your life......"

"There is always a way, there is always a way, to keep them away from me, away from Jiro, away from Datang. It's just that Jiro didn't bother to think about it. Because Jiro didn't think they were worth it. It's also because they're not people worth Jiro's trouble. But for Mei Niang, this is not the case......

Because Mei Niang has already arranged everything. ”

Mei Niang turned her head, looked out the window, and said softly for a while: "I have already calculated everything." ”

At the same time.

In the palace of King Ji.

"Are you serious?" Princess Ji asked with bright eyes.

"It's true, I heard this from the person sent to Beijing by Li Yifu." A little maid stood beside her, lowered his eyebrows and said, "And I heard that person also say that the queen took these things, but she didn't mean to be dissatisfied at all!" ”

"Good...... Good. Princess Ji hooked the corners of her mouth, smiled, and said: "You can make a slight change to these words—small changes are enough, but they are generally true but not to be changed—and spread them as soon as possible, understand?" The wider the spread, the better, and the more people the better. ”

The waiter was puzzled: "Niangniang, let's spread it, just tell the truth...... Why bother with the truth? Originally, the demon queen took the things. ”

"The more real it is, the less interesting it is to arouse people's interest - it is like looking at mountains and rivers, and it is gratifying to see the bottom at a glance, but it is impatient to look at it. On the contrary, the more these seemingly hazy and vague things are, the more leeway people are to think and be suspicious, understand? ”

Princess Ji smiled.

……

Three days later.

Zhongshu Province.

Listening to the generous slander of several officials about the current Empress Wu's private acceptance of the criminal minister Li Yifu's goods, and even more protection for him, the eldest grandson Wuji looked disapproving. After a while, he sneered and said, "I don't know where you first heard such words?" ”

The officials were stunned when they heard this, you look at me, look at you, and in the end, Xiao Siye, who is still the oldest and the guest on the table today, opened his mouth: "My lord doesn't seem to believe it?" ”

"It's not that I don't believe it, the old man is just curious, what kind of good thing this Li Mao has gotten, it can make the queen who sits in the world and guards the first queen of the Lizheng Palace half of her life move, and she can let her protect him." The eldest grandson Wuji's faint words have silenced the ministers.

They blindly dislike this Wu Meiniang, but they forgot one thing: this woman is the queen of the Tang Dynasty. is the wife of the man who sits on the world.

Regardless of anything else, every month, Li Zhi specially gave her all kinds of pleasures, which have been greatly blushed by the kings of all countries in the sea. What's more, the fat powder money of 300,000 a Chinese New Year's Eve?

"That's right, too......" Ren Yaxiang, who was a guest with Xiao Siye today, but had never said anything, smiled a little crampedly, and said: "The lower officials have lived outside the Saiwai for many years, but they have also heard a lot about His Majesty's love for the queen's mother. I'm afraid that if this lady asks for the treasury key, His Majesty will also allow it. What kind of treasure did this Li Mao'er get, so that he could make the queen into his eyes, and try his best to protect him from a helpless and cold family that was obviously abandoned by His Majesty...... Xia Guan was really curious. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Siye immediately turned around and glared at him, staring at him inexplicably, and then turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Wuji, opened his mouth, but found that he had nothing to say.

The eldest grandson Wuji sneered: "Yes...... What Yaxiang said is very reasonable. This Li Mao has fallen to such a state, it is obvious that he has been abandoned by the Lord, and he will never be able to return to Chang'an. To the queen, he is an outcast. If you can't get rid of the relationship, how can you protect him like this? ”

After another pause, he sneered again: "Or, is it to remember a little affection when he was sealed back then?" ”

Xiao Siye and the others were worried that they had nothing to say, and when they heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, they immediately came to their senses, and they nodded their heads and praised the eldest grandson Wuji.

On the other hand, Wei Bei laughed first, put down the tea bowl in his hand and said, "If it's for this, then it's fine." To sum up, I'm afraid that in this matter, Queen Wu can't get tired of him! ”

Everyone looked at him together, Xiao Siye squinted, wanting to say something, but he didn't dare to speak because of his name as Webster.

Instead, Ren Yaxiang asked curiously, "What does Master Wei mean by this?" ”

"What kind of character do you think, what kind of character is Empress Wu? is such an arrogant person, I am afraid that among our Manchu Dynasty civil and military affairs, the only ones who can make her look at it are Uncle Yuan and the British Prince.

So in order to be able to change the queen smoothly back then, this queen mother worked the two of them.

Although because the two of them were hindered by the lord, and the Wang family after the abolition of the queen was indeed unusable, and there was an edict of the first emperor in hand, she had to let her ascend to the back position, but in the end, she also knew that the two did not put on a clear posture to support her.

It's not easy for her to be such a queen, how can she let such people ruin her reputation now, and give the Manchu Dynasty civil and military a chance to oppose her to continue to be the queen?

If it's another woman, it's fine, if this martial queen is so confused......

Others don't mention it, but I'm afraid that Lord Xiao himself won't believe it? Otherwise, the character who could make the lady fall short back then would become so stupid now? ”

Wei waits for the price, but it is reasonable, and Xiao Siye is speechless.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the situation coldly, but he didn't say much.

Wei Zhiqi's words were said by many people, and they felt quite reasonable. Some officials even said bluntly: "When Master Wei said this, the last member also felt that something was wrong.

Don't mention anything else, this martial queen loves self-reliance and benevolence the most. This kind of thing is indeed not as good as she has always done. ”

"But that's not easy to say...... After all, now that she is the queen, and the crown prince has been established, she has everything in her hands, and what do she care about? ”

If someone says it's good, someone will naturally say it's bad, but human nature has always been like this for thousands of years.

And if someone says that it is not good, there will naturally be others who will say a neutral and clever middle way in order to oppose it:

"But it's hard to say...... After all, the most important thing for her now is not to think about these things, but to prevent His Majesty from changing his mind again, reopening the harem, and accepting concubines. So for her, it's not certain whether she did it or not. ”

……

Half an hour later.

In the entire Zhongshu Provincial Council, only the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Zhiyuan remained.

After a while, the eldest grandson Wuji said leisurely: "You have already explored the details, how about it?" ”

Wei Zhibei smiled, and solemnly arched his hand: "Uncle Yuan is clear, and he admires the price." But this time, it was by the order of the Lord, and it was not allowed to be rude. But ......"

He smiled again, and said: "With Uncle Yuan's ability, he will not answer the price, and he will already know it in his heart." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, and only said lightly after a while: "This matter is related to the reverse case of the Ashina Helu Department, and it should not be underestimated." The old man should help you with this. ”

After a pause, he said again: "In this way, although Ren Yaxiang is neutral, he is not the one who commits adultery in the club. As for Xiao Siye......"

Wei Zhiwei nodded and continued: "Although he is full of resentment towards the queen mother, he is not really going to betray me for this reason. So although this incident has a lot to do with him, I am afraid that most of them are still used. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji closed his eyes and said after a while: "It seems that Mao Gong picked you back to investigate this matter, but he picked the right person." ”

Wei Zhiwei said a few words humbly, and then said with a straight face: "But the next thing needs the help of Uncle Yuan——

After all, this matter involves the army, if Yiwei relies on the two saints of the Lord and the Queen, he is afraid that it will cause the world to shake and the people to be uneasy. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said yes again and again, rubbing his temples for a while before he whispered: "You go to Judefang in the west of the city, Jinguangmen, and find a person named Old Man Gu, and he will give you everything you need." ”

After Wei Zhiqi thanked him, he left.

He left with his front foot, and Wei Shentong appeared in front of the eldest grandson Wuji with his back foot, looked at Wei Zhiqi's back, and said in a low voice: "Lord, it seems that now, I am afraid that this Wei Zhiqi has already fallen to the queen." ”

"He did not fall to the queen, but from the beginning, he was loyal to the Lord alone. So, whoever is important to the Lord will be equally important. ”

After saying this slowly, the eldest grandson Wuji got up tiredly, looked at the gloomy sky outside the hall, and said softly: "It's going to rain." But I don't know if this mid-spring rain is a good year for the Lord or a year for apologies? ”
