It's night.

Tai Chi Palace.

Lizheng Palace.

Li Zhi lay quietly on the couch, holding Mei Niang in his arms who was frowning even if she was asleep, and patted for a while, without a moment, and her eyes were looking straight at the ceiling.

Now he is no longer the boy who always looked at others with a smile and affection.

Today, although he is still beautiful and luxurious, he is like the rare jade dragon that is offered incense every day......

But his gaze was a little sharper, more calm, and even ......

It's a little more deep.

Only when he looked at Mei Niang, looking at their children, would he occasionally show some of the eyes that belonged to the childish slaves in the old days, just like the eyes of Mei Niang, who was so sad when he heard that his favorite puppy had become a victim, fell asleep.

As soon as Mei Niang fell asleep, his gaze changed, and he once again regained the gaze of an emperor.

He looked at the top of the temple, thinking about everything, counting everything.

After a long time, he spoke softly:

"Dean."

A figure quietly appeared behind the gauze in the darkness, like a ghost.

"Did you find it? Who is it? ”

"Back to the Lord, these days, there are not many people who can enter and leave the Legislative Hall at will."

"Who?"

"Queen."

“…… What did she do before she died? ”

"Back to the Lord, it was not the queen's own hand, but the person sent in by her mother."

"She's already been confined to her home, and she still hasn't given up?"

"Lord, do you want to ...... the Liu family?"

"Not necessarily. Just in time, she created such a good opportunity for me to take Mei Niang out of the palace...... But it can't be wasted. ”

"What does the Lord mean is that he wants to take his mother out of the palace again? But the mother's body is ...... now."

"If it weren't for Mei Niang's insistence, I originally wanted to wait for her to finish giving birth in Wannian Palace and then return to Taiji Palace. It's just that she thinks about this place and can't let it go.

Such an opportunity cannot be wasted. ”

Dean paused, but said:

"Do you want to take advantage of the Queen's Niangniang Festival?"

"There is also the Father's Sacrifice. Speaking of which, my uncle was also very concerned about this matter, and actually sent Ah Luo to enter early to take down the evidence of this matter......

Presumably, the candidate for the queen that my uncle arranged in his house was from the Taiyuan Wang family? ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi himself shook his head and smiled again:

"No...... I'm confused...... How so?

The Taiyuan Wang clan is already like this, but it definitely can't be theirs.

Speaking of which, the Wang family was anxious to get in touch with the people in the Lang Evil Wang clan before, and I think my uncle will also think of this layer...... It seems that there are many people from the Lang Evil King clan.

And after all, there is such a relationship between the eldest daughter-in-law and the eldest son-in-law of the British princess, it seems that ......

Most of them are the sisters of the British princess's daughter-in-law, right? ”

"The Lord is wise."

"How's the training?"

"It is said that this Shu is beautiful, beautiful and sensitive, and she is everyone's demeanor. Coupled with the careful training of Uncle Yuan and Mrs. Zhao Guo in the past six months, it can be said that once they enter the Middle Palace, the situation in Taiji Palace will be a different scene. ”

"Half a year?"

Li Zhi was slightly surprised, and counted the days carefully, but he laughed:

"I calculated it then...... Sure enough, it was my uncle, and the Helan clan, who I and Mei Niang hated the most, trespassed into the palace, so that I decided that he had the idea of using the Helan clan to ruin Mei Niang's way to the queen...... Secretly, the really suitable candidate was arranged early.

In this way, Mei Niang may not care, but I will put more effort into caring that Mei Niang cares about her sister, and will focus more on this Helan clan, but I will ignore the real middle palace candidate he selected......

Sure enough, it's my uncle......"

Li Zhi smiled, and then said softly:

"But I think, that Miss Wang doesn't want to enter the palace even if she wants to? I have heard that this Lang Evil Wang clan is very different from other Wang clans. ”

Exactly, not to mention that the young lady's nature is indifferent, and she hates the Hongchen dispute the most, which is one of the things that she has long had a sweetheart...... Speaking of which, Uncle Yuan forcibly demolished a good marriage. ”

Li Zhi nodded, was silent for a moment, and then said lightly:

"Since my uncle is like this, then I can't ignore it......

You go and think of a way to arrange a way back for her! ”

Dean should say yes, and then said lightly:

"Then the Lord, the matter of driving and sacrificing to the mausoleum ......"

"Tomorrow morning, I will be the court to announce the matter. Just in time for this to happen, they made trouble in the palace, and I only took Mei Niang to go out with you to be quiet.

Dean replied again.

Li Zhi was silent for a long time, and then said:

"Also, there's one more thing you have to do. And you need to be careful. Be sure not to let others know. ”

"Dean remember."

Li Zhi pondered for a while, then turned his head to look at the sleeping and sweet appearance of Mei Niang in his arms, and said softly:

"Passing on my will, a few old craftsmen in the treasure house of the Inner Servant Provincial Division are getting older, and it's time to go home to recuperate. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Dean was stunned, his breathing suddenly became short, and his eyes were extraordinarily bright:

"The Lord ......"

"It's time."

Li Zhi nodded, only waved his hand, and motioned for him to go down and make arrangements.

De'an answered a little loudly, but in the next moment, he immediately listened nervously to the movement in the tent, and saw that Mei Niang did not move, and Li Zhi did not blame, so he said softly:

"Then the lord, do you want to inform the British Duke and ask him to try to bring the little lady of the Wang family in the Yuan Uncle's Mansion into the British Mansion?"

“…… Fortunately, although I have always said that I want him to be silent, it seems that if he can stand up and open his mouth to his uncle, it will be a good time for him to gradually get involved in this situation. Then do as you say! ”

"Yes!"

Li Zhi watched De'an retreat happily, but smiled faintly, then thought about it again, turned his head, pulled the brocade quilt for Mei Niang, looked at her face like this, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

……

The next day, in the afternoon.

Mei Niang's lunch break was over, so she was thinking about Li Hong and wanted to go to see how Li Hong was, but she was persuaded by Minghe:

"Niangniang doesn't have to go, right now the Lord is taking His Royal Highness to learn and read in the Taiji Palace, but there is no need to be too careful."

When Mei Niang heard this, she frowned:

"Jiro himself?"

"Yes."

Mei Niang was displeased, and when Minghe saw this, he couldn't help but say lightly:

"Mother, what's wrong? It's so decent, why are you not happy? Could it be that the Lord loves His Highness so much, is the mother worried? ”

"There is a reason for the mother's worry."

As soon as Ryan's voice sounded, the master and servant turned their heads to look at the same time, and saw Ryan coming over with a robe, and put it on with Mei Niang first, and then said lightly:

"After all, our lord, as well as His Royal Highness the abolished prince back then, were all enlightened by the first emperor since he was a child. Unlike other princes, everything is different.

In the current court situation, the old minister Tai Ban of the previous generation is still there, seeing His Royal Highness the Acting King who loves us so much, think about the old things again......

How can you not be worried? ”

He smiled faintly:

"After all, today's Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the backer behind him has fallen, and he is so mediocre......

In contrast, our little highness, who was loved by Uncle Yuan and other old ministers as soon as he was born, is so smart, how can he not let those who are obsessed with the throne be vigilant? ”

When Minghe heard this, he opened his mouth, but he really didn't know what to say.

Seeing him like this, Mei Niang sighed and said:

"Ryan is right, but the children in Sujie don't care much, but Zhong'er doesn't care...... The few people outside the palace who had been staring at Jiro's dragon chair for a long time were not willing to look at Hong'er like this.

So...... Jiro's move is really a bit inconsiderate. Or ......"

Mei Niang thought deeply, but said with a slight suspicion:

"Could it be that he has the intention to do it with whom?"

"Do it with whom? Who? ”

Minghe blinked and asked softly.

Mei Niang thought about it, glanced at Ryan who was aware, and said slowly:

"Perhaps, it's the one who can help Hong'er become the prince in one fell swoop...... At the same time, he is also the one who can force Jiro to have to put aside the thoughts of the Wang clan and Yi Zhonggong first. ”

"Could it be Uncle Yuan?"

Minghe blurted out:

"Why?"

Mei Niang shook her head and sighed for a long time:

"I don't know...... I wish I didn't. ”

……

Tang Yonghui in the middle of October of the fifth year.

Li Zhi, the Tang Gaozong who had just returned to the Taiji Palace for half a month, suddenly announced a new will above the early dynasty:

One, in order to commemorate his mother, Empress Changsun, he was going to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to worship the Buddha for ten years.

Second, after this matter is over, he will go to the Zhaoling Palace to worship his father, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. And this time, it is a full month.

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were stunned, and just as everyone was about to list out one after another to ask for instructions, Li Zhi slowly opened his mouth, and ordered the Qingyu step to close the door of the temple, leaving only the three princes and nine ministers of the gold case, and the six ministries were seated to discuss the matter.

Immediately, everybody changed their faces - for everyone knew that something big was going on, and that it was still under control, or uncertain, about its direction.

Everyone is guessing what exactly happened, whether it was staying or going out.

When there were only a dozen of the most important officials in the entire Tang Dynasty left in the Golden Palace, Li Zhi slowly and slowly looked at the ministers and announced three other things:

First, a few days ago, everything in the womb has been verified, and the queen of the middle palace Wang, and her biological mother Liu have an inseparable relationship, the mother and daughter joined forces in the Taiji Palace, taking advantage of the absence of Li Zhi and Zhaoyi Wu of the Lizheng Palace, the witchcraft intended to curse and kill the dragon heir, and even wanted to confuse the king's heart with witchcraft, the evidence is conclusive, so the Wang family has been locked in the cold palace and confined, and it is not allowed to enter and exit at will. The biological mother Liu will also be completely banned in the Dali Temple, and all the relevant cases should be handed over to the Dali Temple for strict investigation, and the rest of the people will be detained together, only to wait for the case to be heard in the next day, and then show it to the world to deal with it.

Second, this time the Wang family's witchcraft is not trivial, yesterday night has been Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng respectively summoned into the inner court to see, the results are the same, all concluded that the Taiji Palace in the feng shui dragon vein has been polluted by it, if you can't ask the first emperor to have the grace of the Holy Spirit, there will be trouble, especially Zhaoyi Wu is pregnant, and the Wang family is the first to get rid of the object, must not stay in the palace, can only accompany Li Zhi to drive, go to the two Holy Spirit shade to be blessed.

Third, the matter of the spell of the Lizheng Palace is not trivial, and there is even a major theft case involving such an important place as the Taiji Palace. It can be seen that the governance of the queen Wang family is lax on weekdays, and there must be an internal line in the Taiji Palace, and it is even impure everywhere. Therefore, from today onwards, the entire Taiji Palace has been moved from the forbidden army to Li Zhi's close Jin Wuwei. The concubines and concubines in the palace, the princes, the emperors, the maids, the maids, the supervisors, the craftsmen, the officials, etc., should be handed over to the inner chamberlain Wang De and the inner chamberlain De'an Rui'an, one by one, who have been examined in detail, and all the palaces in the palace are carefully searched and cleaned up according to the book. From now on, the forbidden army can only stay in the imperial city, and cannot enter the inner palace gate for half a step without an edict. Moreover, not only the forbidden army, but all the officials of the three provinces of Shangshu under the Zhongshu Gate, the princes and princes of the Hongwen Pavilion, and the female officials of the emperor of the Caisi Academy, were also temporarily moved out of the inner palace on the same day to manage political affairs in the official residence in the imperial city. Just wait for the housekeeping to be sorted out, and then return.

As soon as the will came out, all the ministers were stunned, and the heaviest mood was none other than the eldest grandson Wuji.

Although he got the news from A Luo early in the morning, knowing that Li Zhizhong's shadow guard finally took the lead and got evidence against the Wang family, although he knew that this was the attitude that Li Zhi would inevitably have......

But he still couldn't help sighing in his heart:

The storm, which he had worked hard to stop for more than ten years, finally came.
