With Wu Yizong and Wu Yougui present at the same time, the meaning of Tang Huaibi's words was actually obvious, but he just didn't pick it out.

Of course, Xue Shao is not easy to find out how to make trouble, otherwise, wouldn't it be tantamount to going against the queen?

Xue Shao guessed in his heart-

Maybe Li Zhi is also a little worried about the territory of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou, but the person who wants to bring down Li Chongyi the most in this world is definitely Wu Zetian.

The royal family is "the family of the world", and Wu Zetian and Li Zhi have some confrontation and competition for the military power of the forbidden army; But for the jealousy and precaution of the feudal officials, this couple is unified!

It is precisely because of the antagonism and cooperation between the emperor and the queen of heaven that these officials under his command are quite difficult - how to stand in line?

Take Li Chongyi's family as an example, Li Shangdan is Li Zhi's absolute confidant, commanding the soldiers and horses in front of the emperor; Li Chongyi is also a feudal official and also Li Zhi's confidant, but his official position outside is too big, too long, and his reputation is too high, and Li Zhi is jealous and guarded. Especially now that Li Zhi is not in good health, the imperial power is released, his control over the government has become weaker, and his control over the feudal officials has become even weaker, so his jealousy and precaution will inevitably become more serious.

Not long ago, Li Zhi also said to the Xue brothers in person that he "will end his life". As an emperor, it is a habitual imperial trick to eradicate the ministers for his soon-to-be-succeeded son before he returns to heaven.

Regardless of whether Li Chongyi is opposed or not, Li Zhi has a great motive to take out Li Chongyi!

In addition, Wu Zetian also wanted to bring down Li Chongyi, and with a private match, it was easy for the two saints to reach an agreement.

Flying to the end, hiding the good bow, the cunning rabbit to die, the lackey to cook - such things are not uncommon throughout the ages, for the stability and security of the imperial succession, the innocent sacrifice of a courtier is really nothing to the emperor - no matter who he is!

Just like many things in the past, Li Zhi acquiesced, Wu Zetian did it himself, and the couple attacked Li Chongyi.

Of course Li Chongyi is not stupid, he must have expected the second saint's jealousy and precaution against him, and no one knows how he feels. At this time, he should only have two reactions, one is to take the initiative to abdicate and resign to avoid the continued suspicion of the second saint; The second is to be cold-hearted and take risks - forced to rebel!

On the face of it, the latter is a great possibility.

But what about direct evidence?

No.

All the time, it seems that Li Xiantong and Wei Juyuan are performing in front of the stage. What Li Chongyi's real motives and behaviors are, no one knows.

Then Li Xiantong's motives and behavior are doubtful, is he trying his best to cooperate with his grandfather, or is he indeed the secret "spy" of the Second Sage, lurking in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to investigate and collect evidence?

If it was the latter, then Li Xiantong would be too terrible - he was creating evidence without evidence to help Wu Zetian frame his grandfather!

If it was the former, everything seemed to be logical, but how could Tang Huaibi and the martial arts brothers suddenly appear here?

It seems that Lu's "whisper" to Li Xiantong is the key!

In all likelihood, this woman was a key matchmaker. Maybe Li Xiantong was not really a "secret agent" before, but because the Lu family "didn't want him to die", they wanted him to turn against the water, and turn into a "tainted witness" when he was about to be defeated, and turn into a secret agent!

Thinking of this, Xue Shao's heart suddenly suddenly - in this way, it will be smooth!

At the same time, Xue Shao also figured out a little, I now probably understand why Li Xiantong had a relationship with Wu Chenghei early. Of course, he will not be a traverser, and the Dao Martial Artist will occupy the world. As the emperor's imperial guard general, he must have smelled a little bit of it, and the two sages of Zhilu Dao were extremely wary and jealous of his grandfather. He was worried that his family's big ship was going to capsize sooner or later, so he prepared a rescue circle for himself early!

This salvation circle is the martial arts brothers!

This salvation circle is to prevent the current situation!

The Lu family must have known these inside information, and at the critical moment after the end, when Li Xiantong's family, life and death and love in his heart were the most struggling, he pushed him.

That whisper was the last straw that broke the camel's back!

Then there is Li Xiantong's performance in the court, of course, to delay time, waiting for Tang Huaibi and the martial arts brothers to come to the rescue.

In other words, Li Xiantong has decided to completely join the martial arts family and become a "secret agent" of the diva, and has decided to let his grandfather die, but he will never be buried!

There was a long silence.

Xue Shao thought about it a lot, and connected everything before and after, and when he thought about it, politics was really terrible; Under the suppression of politics, human nature is so distorted!

"Xue Gongzi, you are a smart person. Some words, presumably do not need to be said by the official. Tang Huaibi said, "It's best to end the matter of merging states." Xue Gongzi didn't have to meddle too deeply. ”

Xue Shao was speechless, and glanced coldly at Wu Yizong and Wu Yougui behind Tang Huaibi.

The martial brothers didn't dare to touch Xue Shao's eyes, and looked left and right together.

Xue Shao understood that these two things surnamed Wu had no ability, but they were definitely loyal lackeys of the queen of heaven. Their trip to the army this time is certainly with the intention of getting involved in military exploits, but their real identities are probably the same as Tang Huaibi, they are all spies.

Whether it is Li Xiantong or Wei Juyuan, including Li Chongyi, they are all the objects of their monitoring, even the marionettes!

"Young Master Xue, do you have any questions?" Tang Huaibi was polite to Xue Shao, and he smiled all the time.

"Nope." Xue Shao said lightly, "This is not within my authority. I just happened to run into it, and I couldn't help but not deal with it. ”

"Xue Gongzi said so, that's right." Tang Huaibi said with a smile, "Originally, they were all their own people, so why make a fuss?" ”

Xue Shao was silent, but he was sneering in his heart, his own people?

It is true that my current camp position is more biased towards Wu Zetian, but I and these idiots of the martial arts family, can they be my own people?

When the martial brothers saw the wind, they made a rudder, and at the same time stepped forward to bow their hands, and said with a smile: "Xue Gongzi calmed down the civil strife that was about to break out in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou, and made great contributions to turning the tide, and there will be a heavy reward after returning to the dynasty!" ”

"Yes!" Xue Shao replied with a smile, thinking, although I didn't take the initiative to do this, but the words of these two fools reminded me - isn't this tantamount to indirectly helping the second saint and taking out Li Chongyi?

That's right, I made a meritorious service!

It's still a great achievement!

This merit will certainly not be recorded in the military merit book like the surprise attack on the black sand, but - Jane is in the emperor's heart!

But Xue Shao's brows were a little furrowed...... Why am I not happy at all?

"Xue Gongzi, can you hand over the person to this official now and take it away?" Tang Huaibi asked carefully.

Wei Yuanzhong took a step forward, "As an official who supervises the imperial history, since he has personally experienced this case, there is no reason to let it go halfway." ”

Tang Huaibi seemed to be a little annoyed by this "unacquainted" little Yushi, and was about to scold him a few words, as if remembering that this person had a close relationship with Xue Shao, so he didn't have a seizure, but turned to Xue Shao and said: "Xue Gongzi, Yushi is anxious and righteous, but it is too pedantic. Why don't you persuade him? ”

Xue Shao shook his head, "Wei Yushi insists on the justice of the law, how can I persuade him?" ”

Tang Huaibi gritted his teeth, "Okay-Wei Yushi, how do you want to manage it?" ”

"At the very least, I want to be with the suspect at all times and keep a close eye on everything going on in this case!" Wei Yuanzhong said, "Unless the imperial court dismisses me from my post and dismisses my official, otherwise, Wei Yuanzhong will definitely not be able to let it go!" ”

"Good!" Tang Huaibi snorted a little angrily, "Then you will go with the suspect and follow the official!" ”

"Just what I want!" Wei Yuanzhong didn't back down, and he responded in one bite.

Xue Shao said indifferently: "I want to ask one more question, where is Manager Tang going to take people?" ”

Tang Huaibi smiled, "Naturally, it's ...... Changan! ”

"Who will take over the affairs of the capital of the state?" Xue Shao said, "At this critical juncture of the Northern Expedition, if the yamen of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is paralyzed, the harm will be great, and the Tang Governor must know it!" ”

Xue Shao's question, Tang Huaibi and the Erwu brothers' faces changed unnaturally.

Xue Shao read their micro-expressions, and he already knew in his heart that Tang Huaibi had the right to "act cheaply", and now it seems that he wanted Wu Yougui and Wu Yizong to temporarily take over the Yamen of the Prefecture Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and exercise the right of long history!

Xue Shao couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, these two talentless and virtuous waste baskets and treacherous spies can take on such a heavy responsibility?!

That's not bad for the entire Northern Expedition!

"Xue Gongzi, this is a matter within the scope of the official's authority, so you don't need to ask more, right?" Tang Huaibi took retreat as the way to advance.

"I don't have the authority to ask." Xue Shao said calmly, "But there is one person who has to ask." ”

"Who?"

"I'm going to be there soon, I think." Xue Shao said lightly, "We might as well wait." There are many things, and Manager Tang may wish to discuss them with him before making a final conclusion. ”

Tang Huaibi suddenly said, "Xue Gongzi is saying that Marshal Pei is coming?" ”

Xue Shao did not answer, and acquiesced.

Wu Yougui and Wu Yizong's expressions suddenly became a little annoyed, and they couldn't wait to come forward and bite Xue Shao to death.

Obviously, the relationship between this Tang Huaibi and the martial arts brothers is very tacit. Otherwise, the three of them would not have appeared in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion at the same time. In this Northern Expedition, the Wu brothers were sent by Pei Xingjian to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, and it can be said that they did nothing and did not have half of the excess power. They must have been staring at the power vacuum in the yamen of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion for a long time, so that they would be addicted to being a feudal official!

Of course, being addicted to official affairs is certainly not the main thing.

If the samurai brothers took over the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion at this time, even if it was a "temporary worker", it would be of great significance. They can use this to show themselves how the two of them turned the tide and calmed down the civil strife in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, how they cleaned up the mess afterwards, stabilized the situation, and continued to provide a steady stream of follow-up impetus for the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty.

If the "temporary workers" do well this time, the martial arts brothers have the strong backer of the queen behind them, and it is really not difficult for them to "turn regular"!

In other words, these waste brothers are here today - to steal the fruits of victory!

Xue Shao glanced at them coldly, I, Xue and General Li, Wei Yuanzhong, and Guo Yuanzhen, were all born and worked hard, and they made dowries for you after the end?

Go for your spring and autumn dreams! - How could Pei Xingjian allow you two fools to temporarily exercise the power of the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion?

Wu Yougui and Wu Yizong were a little chilled by Xue Shao's eyes, and Wu Yizong even remembered the scene of rolling downstairs in Laiyi Pavilion that day, so he took a step back with trepidation.

Tang Huaibi glanced sideways at this pair of martial arts brothers, they were so obscene and soft-boned, and they didn't have the slightest bit of hardness! I didn't plan to recommend the two of them to temporarily serve as the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, but they were defeated by Xue Shao after a glance!

They themselves have retreated, why should I continue to support it, and offend Xue Shao because of this?

So, Tang Huaibi didn't say anything about it, and only said: "Since Pei Gong is coming, the official will make a decision after discussing with him." ”

"That's the best." Xue Shao nodded with a smile, Tang Huaibi's way of being an official is really very familiar. Seeing the wind and rudder, it is really his strong point! "Humph!"

"The two of us, let's take our leave!"

The martial brothers were a little indignant, and they turned around and left together.

No one stopped them, and even Tang Huaibi didn't want to apologize and explain to them at this time.

The mud can't support the wall, can you complain that the plasterer's craftsmanship is not good?
