Mei Niang didn't answer Minghe's question—in fact, she didn't bother to answer either.

The White Horse Temple has arrived.

When you drive to the temple, you will be announced.

Mei Niang took a deep breath, got up, and slowly stepped out of the phoenix.

When she hugged Yugui in her arms and walked out of the phoenix, the entire White Horse Temple was silent.

Containing pearls and golden phoenix hairpins, golden flowers between the eyebrows, vermilion phoenix feathers Luo Guang sleeves embroidered gold, brilliant and outstanding, can reflect the sun, seize the moon.

Inside the long skirt of water blue embroidered gold peony, between the movement, as if sprinkled with Venus everywhere.

No one dared to speak out.

Mei Niang raised her eyes and looked at the three words of the White Horse Temple on the plaque in front of her, so she only smiled indifferently, stretched out her hand to support the arm of Minghe, who was holding the jade dust next to her, and walked into the temple step by step steadily and slowly.

……

At the same time.

Li Zhi was also dressed in embroidered gold dragon pattern wide sleeves, his clothes fluttering, and followed De'an step by step into a small hall.

Soon, the master and servant entered the palace, and after De'an waited for Li Zhi to enter the palace, he saw that there was no one around, so he glanced at the two attendants guarding the door of the palace.

Those two waiters are Ming'an and Jing'an, who haven't shown their faces for a long time. After the three of them exchanged jaws, the door immediately closed gently.

De'an closed the door, and when he turned his head to look, Li Zhizheng stood in the hall with his hands in his hands, looking around, until he stepped forward and saluted, then turned around, and sat in a circle chair next to a table laid out on the side under his guidance, nodded, and silently watched De'an pour tea for himself, and then drink it himself.

It must have been more than half an hour to sit like this, and then I heard the sound of the door opening and opening, clearly heard through the wall.

It turned out that there was also a small room next door.

When De'an heard this, he only glanced at Li Zhi, who was drinking tea by himself, and then he didn't move anymore, holding the white jade dust, and standing on the side.

didn't wait long, a clear male voice sounded, the tone was extremely gentle and humble, and the words were obviously carefully considered:

"The young eunuch Ming He in the sixth palace of the capital meets Uncle Yuan."

After a pause, he heard again:

"Uncle Yuan came early, but the queen was still trapped by the secular rites at this time, and she couldn't come for a while...... I'm afraid I'll have to wait a little longer for Uncle Lao Yuan. ”

"It doesn't matter. As the queen, the mother is the world, and she is subject to the people's court. The old man should be waiting. ”

This sounded the voice of Sun Wuji, the emperor's uncle, and the prince of Zhao, old and calm.

Then, there was a wave of thanks, and then the sound of the door came back—

It looks like it's closed.

Li Zhi, the major, still sat firmly on the chair and stood on one side, as if he was just waiting calmly.

They didn't have to wait long.

Soon, the sound of the door opening sounded again, and the door closed again. followed by a soft and gentle female voice, Li Zhi, who was bringing tea to his mouth, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were shining:

"Uncle Lao Yuan has been waiting for a long time, and the palace is really uneasy, and I also asked Uncle Yuan to accept a cup of vegetarian tea from the palace as an apology."

"Mother's words are serious...... As a subordinate, the old minister has his own courtesy that his subordinates should keep. The eldest grandson Wuji said indifferently.

Li Zhi put down the tea bowl that he had drunk for a long time and had not seen it for a long time, leaned his body lazily into the back of the circle chair, half-closed his eyes, and supported his head with one hand, as if he was nourishing his mind and pranayama.

After a while, I heard a whisper next door:

"Thank you for your kindness...... It's just that I don't know why Niangniang summoned the minister this time? ”

"What's going on?"

There was another chuckle, but Mei Niang's tone changed, and she became a little cold:

"Uncle Yuan really doesn't know?"

Silence, long silence. Then it sounded, and Mei Niang's voice seemed to have a faint smile:

"Uncle Yuan is really scheming...... Just borrow a good fortune, and you can nail Mei Niang to death in the name of this demon girl of this calamity...... Isn't it? How could Uncle Yuan forget such a good strategy so quickly? ”

There was still silence.

Li Zhi slowly opened his eyes, and there was a hint of praise in his eyes, but De'an had an empty expression, as if he had not heard it, and ignored it.

There was silence again.

Mei Niang's voice sounded again:

"What's the matter, what Bengong said is wrong? Isn't this palace being locked in by Uncle Yuan and Lord Yu? ”

After a pause, her voice was slightly urgent, and even more sharp:

"You knew early on that sooner or later, Tsusui-sama's foolish behavior over the years would be destined to be difficult in the hands of Jiro, who was determined to change, or even more so in the hands of others who could not allow him to rely so much on his merits...... Therefore, under the persuasion of a hundred people, you made a plan with Lord Yu early, and it is also a gambling contract......"

There was another pause, and another sneer:

"You bet with him that if one day what he does is not destined to be the next emperor, or even the next emperor, the current crown prince, then he will follow your plan and must beg himself to kill himself...... And there must be a way to involve his death with the palace to some extent.

In this way, as soon as the world-famous Yu Suiliang dies, then this bloody charge of framing the loyal minister Ming Xiang will inevitably be erased on the head of the palace that he and Han Lai have strongly opposed......

In addition, over the years, whether it is the Guanlong family or the clan, they have spared no effort to discredit the palace, both openly and secretly......

The name of the demon queen of this disaster is really sitting on the head of the palace, and there is no escape...... Really? ”

When De'an heard this, his face changed greatly after all, and he looked at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi's expression was indifferent, but the knuckles holding the teacup were faintly white.

But he didn't say anything, just continued to listen to Mei Niang's voice sounding again:

"What? Uncle Yuan can't answer? ”

After a long time, the voice of the eldest grandson Wuji sounded faintly:

If the mother thinks like this, the old man is really helpless. Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and it will be clear over time. ”

"People's hearts?"

Mei Niang sneered and sneered:

"The most difficult thing in the world to have the word justice is the human heart! Over the years, Uncle Yuan's piles have been piled one by one, and none of them have been able to take advantage of people's hearts...... Could it be that now Uncle Yuan is going to come to tell the palace, saying that you don't know that people's hearts are the most difficult to be fair? ”

There was silence again.

Mei Niang's voice sounded again:

“…… Uncle Yuan had expected it for a long time, hadn't he? Han Ying, come to Ji......

Such a so-called loyal minister, in fact, is full of calculations, but for that little bit of fame and opposition to the palace - after all, this palace is a demon girl, and it is a disaster for the country, compared to the hard work of the uncle of the Yuan or the British princess, who devotes his heart and soul to the Tang Dynasty and seeks peace for the people-

Opposing this palace, a woman who is regarded as a disaster by countless people, is really their fastest and most labor-saving way to gain the virtue and fame of virtuous ministers.

But they are weak and have insufficient foundations, and they are really not the ministers of the Tang Dynasty. So naturally we have to find a help. And what they can find, yes, is only to try to borrow the spring breeze of your uncle - after all, the British public is more difficult to approach than you. After all, your influence on Zhilang and the entire Tang Dynasty Heavenly Son Sect is far from comparable to anyone. ”

In the tone, there seems to be a hint of irony.

"It's a pity...... Others don't know, but your uncle Yuan understands it very well-

Whether Hongu is a good queen or not, you know better than anyone else. So you don't want to ......"

The voice broke again, and he continued:

"You are not reconciled, because you know that if the court and the central government once cut off the slander against the palace, and those people no longer look at the palace with prejudice, then the name of the virtuous queen and the virtue will definitely fall on the head of the palace soon......

You don't like it, or you're afraid of it......"

After another pause, the voice gradually became as sharp as a knife:

"You are afraid, you are afraid that once Mei Niang is supported by the courtiers, she will inevitably control the government, be reused by the rule of Lang, and be trusted by the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and she will act in vain......

This is a little worry for Datang and the entire Son of Heaven, but this is not what you are really most afraid of.

What you're really afraid of is ......"

Another pause, and then another voice:

"What you are really afraid of is that once the palace is really looked at and treated by the entire Tang Dynasty, civil and military officials, and the people, then you ...... An elderly hero of the Tang Dynasty, a national leader who is increasingly unable to grasp the situation of the dynasty, has become dispensable to the Tang Dynasty and is no longer important, and finally gradually faded out of the court and was forgotten......

Everything you have pursued in this life will also be completely lost from your hands.

Moreover, all the disgraceful things you have done to this palace because of this worry and fear in the past will also be revealed to the world at one time, and the reputation of your eldest grandson Wuji will eventually be stained with endless stains and will never be cleared off!

At that time, after you have a hundred years, the coffin will be closed, and you will forever lose the emperor and the succession that can enter the Zhaoling Tomb to serve the emperor...... In this entire Datang world, the qualifications and opportunities around the two sages you care about the most!

This...... is the reason why you don't hesitate to take advantage of your beloved disciple's foolish loyalty, and even sacrifice his life to nail this palace to the name of the demon queen forever!

Because only this palace will always be the demon queen, and you, the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty, Wuji, can always be the important minister of the country and the emperor's confidant! Only in this way can you always sit back and relax - the name of the eldest grandson Wuji, because of the virtue of removing the demon queen from the Tang Dynasty, was made into a monument to build a pavilion, the scenery is beautiful, and the ceremony is sent to the Zhaoling Mausoleum, and the side of the first emperor is buried, and it enjoys the name of a hundred years of history! ”
