The twentieth day of the first month of the sixth year of Yonghui of the Tang Dynasty.

Afternoon.

Due to the recent wars between Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, the war between Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje has become more and more tense, and Li Zhi has become more and more busy day by day.

However, such busyness does not necessarily mean that he has become completely blind and ignorant.

At least Dean never dared to do such delusions.

Therefore, when he hurried into the vestibule of the Taiji Hall from the Prince Hongwen Pavilion, and heard Li Zhi's angry shouts and the sound of the case, he was somewhat prepared in his heart.

Looking left and right, he waved to Qinghe, who was standing with his head down to the side and didn't dare to say much:

"But listen?"

Qinghe nodded and whispered:

"Shigong is also old in the end, and that kid in Jing'an is in a hurry to curry favor with him, so this will not be revealed."

Dean was silent for a long time, but finally shook his head and sighed, walked into the hall, and saluted.

When Li Zhi saw him coming, he still somewhat restrained his anger, just raised his eyebrows, watched him finish his salute, and then said with a tight gaze:

"How much have you listened to these days in the womb?"

After all, he had been prepared, and De'an was not in a hurry, and said softly:

"Back to the Lord, De'an has heard everything."

"Hear it all?"

Li Zhi's eyebrows raised higher, and he sneered and said:

"Since everything has been heard, why don't you report it in time?!"

Dean said softly:

"Because the mother did not allow it, and in recent days, the government has become increasingly tight, De'an thought that he did not dare to report to the Lord at this time, so he did something to deal with it himself."

When Li Zhi heard this, his eyebrows were still not relaxed, but he was much calmer, and he raised his eyebrows and said:

"What did you do?

What kind of disposal? ”

"All those involved in spreading this rumor in the court will be ordered to be imprisoned, investigated, tried, and punished.

In addition, within the main palace of Taiji Palace, but those involved in this rumor will also be dealt with accordingly. ”

When Li Zhi heard this, his anger subsided for a while, and after thinking about it slightly, he nodded:

"Bright prison, clear investigation, clear trial, clear punishment......

Okay, that's a good deal...... Such rumors categorically cannot be dealt with ambiguously, and the more ambiguous they are, the more suspicious they are. The palace has always been a place where there are a lot of things, and if you blindly dodge and avoid it, it will teach people to doubt Mei Niang's innocence. Good. ”

Li Zhi nodded, and said lightly:

"But how do you know that no one will still secretly question that you are pretending to be right?"

De'an looked at Li Zhi calmly, and said after a while:

"Lord, forgive De'an. The reason why there are such rumors is nothing more than because some people know that as soon as Zhaoyi Niangniang ascended the phoenix throne, it was already a general trend, and it was difficult to move against the sky.

But in the end, they have been guarding against Niangniang for many years, and it is inevitable that they will be angry about letting Niangniang ascend the throne so easily. Therefore, there will be a way to ruin the reputation of the mother, so that the mother is the phoenix, after all, it is inevitable to be questioned, for the future in case of accidents, you can take this opportunity, which is not good for the mother.

And whether it is the mother or the lord, it may not be impossible to see through this layer.

Niangniang is reasonable, and naturally knows that this is the price that she can't avoid when she wants to ascend to the back seat.

So naturally I don't care.

Niangniang didn't care, De'an and the others thought that they didn't have to care - not to mention that the ministers and others were ignorant, and they really couldn't think of a good plan.

However, as far as the Lord is concerned, he may not be able to be so lenient, and the Lord is clever, and there will naturally be a way to return to heaven.

That's why De'an was in such a hurry to ask the Lord to show him. ”

Li Zhi squinted at him for a while before shaking his head and couldn't help but smile:

"You kid...... Over the years, I haven't learned anything else, but I have learned a smooth mouth. ”

After laughing a few more times, Li Zhi also shook his head and sat down, sighed and said:

"That's it......

This matter is not easy to deal with.

If Mei Niang had to wear that tattered dress that day, she really wouldn't be able to elicit such a thing.

It's just that she's willful, but that's how she wants to ......

Alas, I should have known her temperament, and the more everyone said that it was not appropriate to do something, the more she was afraid that she would have to do it. ”

When De'an heard this, he couldn't help but be curious, so he took a few steps forward and walked up the jade steps, and one wall gently slapped his shoulder on the shoulder for Li Zhi, who was tired, and whispered on the other wall:

"Lord, Rong De'an is ignorant, and to this day, De'an doesn't understand what's so great about the blue and gray ragged clothes, which makes the mother so tempted and tired, and even you are so worried about the Lord."

Li Zhi raised his eyes to look at him, and after a while, he shook his head and said:

"Of course, you don't know...... After all, it happened before I was born.

Don't say it's you, even I don't know much about it, but I know that the clothes are Uncle Han's mother's family, and Yuwen is a very important thing, which seems to be left by a certain ancestor of their ancestors, which is quite precious.

The Yuwen clan has always been regarded as a treasure. And this dress was just before Yuwen Zhaoyi entered the palace that year, and his brother personally made makeup and sent it to the palace to show his loyalty.

Later, because of the death of Yuwen Zhaoyi, the whereabouts of this thing are unknown, who knows where Mei Niang found this thing, and specially picked the day when Uncle Han Wang arranged the attack and put it on his body......

To tell the truth, even I, so far I can only figure out Mei Niang's thoughts on this matter, and there are still one or two points of uncertainty. ”

Dean was stunned for a moment, and immediately said:

"Niangniang wore this dress that day, did she want to anger King Han?"

Li Zhi nodded and said:

"Probably because of that.

Uncle Han Wang is treacherous and heroic, and he can be described as a hero. It's just that he has been cold all his life, but he is extremely filial to his mother.

This dress, when his father was alive, Uncle Han asked his father for it, and wanted to ask his father to find it in the harem. My father also responded, but for some reason he couldn't find it.

Later, after I ascended the throne, he also looked for an opportunity to ask me for permission to give me this garment.

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and besides, I had the heart to try it, and to see how he was in the palace, I allowed him to look for a day, and arranged for someone to enter to inquire about the whereabouts of this clothes.

Who would have thought that the people he had arranged for him to come in would be ...... It was actually arranged by Mr. Shen Shu.

Mo said that he arranged the eyes and ears for him, even if he found this clothes, he didn't care much.

That's why he had no choice but to do it. ”

Dean blinked, and after a while, he said lightly:

If this is the case, then this slander of Niangniang said that she tortured Wang Xiao and the others to the point that they were crippled and unable to move, and could only live on food in the urn......

But did he have the intention to use the mouth of the queen's biological mother Liu to provoke the anger of the mother and relieve the anger in the mother's heart?

Lord, could it be that we are thinking too simply?

How could a character like King Han be so reckless just because of a ragged dress?

If the mother really released the queen in a good manner......

Then he will become the first person in the Liu clan to betray -

After all, when he used the queen, the Liu family was also angry in his heart. ”

Li Zhi thought about it for a while, but said lightly:

"This time, you guessed wrong......

I'm afraid that he will act like this if Mei Niang will not and cannot release Wang Xiao and the others. ”

Dean was stunned, but looked left and right, and then said softly:

"The Lord means......

King Han knew that Xiao was dead, and Niangniang sealed Wang's family with a dumb hole, and tortured him every day?

Lord, if he is according to King Han, if he knows about this, he must be ninety percent sure, or he has evidence in hand.

Why didn't he change his way to make trouble, but he had to do this? ”

Li Zhi's eyes were slightly condensed, and his fingers subconsciously caressed the armrest of the dragon chair, and after a while, he suddenly laughed:

"Yes, why don't you change the way to make trouble, but be so careful?

Could it be ......"

He pursed his lips and smiled faintly.
