and the state of the Metropolitan Governor's Palace.

When Wei Yuanzhong and the others walked away, Li Xiantong breathed a sigh of relief. The smile on his face was gone, and his face had become gloomy.

A middle-aged man wearing a scarlet official robe walked out of the side hall, stood on tiptoe and glanced at the door of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and let out a long breath, "Gone?" ”

"Nonsense!" Li Xiantong snorted angrily, threw him an extremely ugly face, turned his head and walked into the room and sat down by himself.

The man in scarlet clothes looked very embarrassed, and muttered softly, "Fairy Child, I am your father-in-law and elder, why should you yell at me like this?" ”

The man in scarlet clothes, that is, Sima Wei Juyuan of Bingzhou, has just married his daughter to Li Xiantong.

"You've done a good job!" Li Xiantong was furious, picked up a teacup and fell to the ground, slamming the tea and splashing around, startling Wei Juyuan.

"If you have something to say, why be so angry?" Although Wei Juyuan's mouth was hard, he didn't dare to move it casually as if his feet were rooted, and it seemed that he was still a little afraid of Li Xiantong's anger.

"the!" Li Xiantong gritted his teeth, and a few words came out between his teeth, "No matter how you say it, can you reverse the overall situation?" - My grandfather now wants to resign and relinquish his power, and ask the court to replace the main officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Office. Isn't it because you're not careful that he becomes suspicious of you? Now none of us can let my grandfather come into contact with outsiders, especially the marching Sima and the imperial history of the imperial court like Wei Yuanzhong! But how long can we hide him like this? - Tell me, how long can you hide? ”

"Oh, why do you blame me again?" Wei Juyuan exclaimed, "It was your idea to borrow your grandfather's strength to clean up Xue Shao. However, at most, your grandfather only wanted to check and balance Cheng Wuting, and he didn't want his power to swell too much, so as not to be difficult to control in the future, or threaten your father when he returned to the court. He didn't want to be an enemy of Chang'an's son and brother so as to offend the Queen of Heaven or Marshal Pei, and he didn't agree to use the hands of the Turks to kill Cheng Wuting, which was a matter of violating the bottom line and bringing disaster to the country and the country. Seeing that you could not convince your grandfather to obtain his consent and support, you dragged me along with him to put your grandfather under house arrest, and then left everything to your plan. Now that things are at risk of failing, how can you blame me for all the faults? ”

When Li Xiantong heard him say this, he immediately smiled kindly, stepped forward to caress Wei Juyuan's back, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law is angry, and my son-in-law is so rude when he is in a hurry, I hope that my father-in-law can forgive my sins!" ”

"You, hey!" Wei Juyuan sighed and said, "What kind of hatred does Xue Shao have with you, and you want to deal with him with such extreme efforts?" ”

"Don't share the hatred of the sky!"

"Did he kill your father, or did he take your wife?"

"......" Li Xiantong was choked lightly, forced out a smile, and said: "Father-in-law, Xue Shao will not die for a day, and I will not be able to turn over for a day and even risk my life." You don't want your beloved daughter to follow me and be oppressed forever, or even precarious, right? ”

"But you made a move repeatedly, but Xue Shao was not hurt in the slightest, and the matter became bigger and bigger!" Wei Juyuan spread his hands helplessly and said, "Now that I have boarded your thief ship, there is no reason to go ashore again." Let's talk about the current situation - Wei Yuanzhong came strangely, maybe he smelled something. What if he has to see the long history? Who can really stop the military discipline supervision sent by the marshal and the imperial history of the imperial court? ”

"If he wants to see it, then let him see it." Li Xiantong smiled coldly, reached out and touched the two mustaches at the corners of his mouth, and said, "My grandfather is just sick in bed and inconvenient to manage, and he was not murdered by anyone. ”

"Then what if Changshi and Wei Yuanzhong confronted each other face to face, and told through the fact that the two of us were deliberately delaying the military deployment of rescuing Shuozhou?" Wei Juyuan is most worried about this matter.

"No, it won't." Li Xiantong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled confidently, "I have my own plan to deal with all this!" ”

"......" Wei Juyuan saw that he didn't want to go into details, and he was a little depressed, but it was not easy to ask to the end. The two are Weng's son-in-law in terms of seniority, Wei Juyuan is a superior in terms of official position, and Li Xiantong is a subordinate. But in fact, the person behind it is Li Xiantong.

Something like this, Li Xiantong has done it many times, and Wei Juyuan almost has to "get used to".

"Alright then, it's up to you." Wei Juyuan had no choice but to say so. Very helpless, but also very compromised.

Li Xiantong squinted his eyes and smiled slightly, smiling quite contentedly. He admired his father-in-law and the top official for talking to him with such an attitude.

Wei Juyuan can only advise himself in his heart to endure more, and when this kid and Xue Shao are done, go back to Chang'an, and Bingzhou will be my world!

can hit it off with Li Xiantong, and the deepest starting point in Wei Juyuan's heart is, of course, the word "ambition".

As the Sima of Bingzhou, Wei Juyuan is Li Chongyi's deputy, and in the past, he had to have Li Chongyi's approval to do anything. All his power comes from Li Chongyi's endowment.

After conspiring with Li Xiantong to set up Li Chongyi, Wei Juyuan, who has been acting at the orders of Hou Li Chongyi all the year round, finally enjoyed the wonderful feeling of being in power, giving orders by himself, and deciding the future and fate of others. Not to mention anything else, those officials who used to have their eyes above the top or look at him wrongly now see themselves like watchdogs meeting their masters, waging their tails and begging for mercy.

It's a wonderful feeling. Mountains of gold and silver and thousands of charms can't exchange for the pleasure brought by power!

In Wei Juyuan's view, it is commonplace for people to die for money, and it is a small fight. The big husband is in power, and he would rather die, this is the truth!

Perhaps, this is the supreme truth in the minds of many people.

Power, this thing is like a drug, once you get it, it is difficult to quit, and it needs to be constantly increased in doses to maintain the pleasure of power. There has never been a lack of people in history who have gone into camps, sold their bodies, sold their dignity, sold their souls, betrayed their country and nation, and even killed each other in order to compete for greater power, leaving all their feelings behind!

Wei Juyuan has just enjoyed the beauty of power, how can he be willing to give it up?

For this reason, Wei Juyuan has already paid for his daughter, and he did not hesitate to endure Li Xiantong's call and drink in vain. The purpose is not to take a fancy to Li Xiantong as Li Chongyi's grandson, and it is up to him to personally exercise the means of "house arrest and elevation" of Li Chongyi, which will not arouse suspicion.

Li Chongyi is already old and about to die, Li Xiantonggen is not in Chang'an, and sooner or later the grandfather and grandson will have to get out of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Taking advantage of the Northern Expedition, if Wei Juyuan could control the power for a period of time, he would give more orders, so that those officials and generals under the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion would be accustomed to his orders, and at the same time, he would use such a position to make more friends and show favors, and promote more of his henchmen to take power together.

So as soon as the Northern Expedition is over, half of the Tang Dynasty in Hebei will be the world of Tawei Juyuan. Just like Li Tao back then, he commanded thousands of tigers and wolves under the command of the army, and countless people in the fertile fields under the jurisdiction of the people.

The general will enter the prime minister's wife and son, and the power will be in the annals of history for a while, just around the corner!

Wei Juyuan's wishful thinking is not bad. He knew that Li Xiantong was by no means a good person, and cooperating with him was like seeking skin with a tiger. But he can't bear the child can't trap the wolf, if he doesn't have the courage to gamble in life, he Wei Juyuan can only nest in Chang'an for the rest of his life to be a little-known sesame official!

……

Xue Shao and the others drank and played in the Laiyi wine shop for a long time, and they were very exhausted. The turbulent undercurrent in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was unaware of the people present. Xue Shao and Wei Yuanzhong also tacitly agreed not to mention a word, only caring about drinking and relaxing.

With a strong professional vigilance, Xue Shao had already discovered that there were no less than three spies watching in the liquor store. There is no need to guess, most of them are people sent by Li Xiantong. He had long known that Wei Yuanzhong was a person from the Martial Arts Academy, and if he didn't send someone to keep an eye on him, then there would be a ghost.

Li Duozuo originally wanted to pour bitter water on Xue Shao, and then ask him in detail about the battle situation of the "Surprise Attack on the Black Sand" that he was most interested in. But Xue Shao blocked his mouth with a word: "Today, I only drink and have fun, who dares to talk about military affairs and political affairs, I will be punished with a jar of wine!" ”

Soldiers never use a cup to drink, they are all big bowls. The wine jar is also the kind that can hold more than 30 catties. Li Duozuo was directly dumbfounded, where did he dare to ask more?

Those spies who were watching were very bored after staring for a long time, and some of them wanted to flash.

The moon slave is really completely let go of the majesty of the female man today, no matter who toasts, he will definitely not refuse to come, and he will definitely return the salute. The surging amount of thousands of cups without getting drunk stunned a group of gentlemen.

Xue Shao was also surprised, usually at home, Shiyue Nu basically didn't drink much, but he didn't expect to be a natural god of wine!

Xue Shao remembered seeing such a "pedigree" somewhere before, saying that some women are born with a special chemical enzyme that only survives in a woman's body, which can quickly decompose alcohol. This kind of woman drinks like water, she is a natural Bacchus!

Therefore, Xue Shao never fights with women who dare to be presumptuous at the wine table, that kind of unfair competition is purely looking for death!

When he drank up, the moon slave lifted his sleeve tube to reveal two halves of his jade arms like pink lotus roots, lifted a large wine jar with his left hand, and pointed to the dozens of military men sitting with his right hand, and said loudly: "Does anyone think they are tough guys, come and fight this altar with me!" ”

The room was full of astonishment, and even many of the drinkers sitting next to him were attracted to watch.

Xue Shao didn't stop it, and the moon slave had been suffering and suffocating in the army for several days, and today she was originally out to relax her nerves and vent her pressure, so she had to indulge herself. He knew that Yuenu was such a person, with a natural wildness in his bones, and he usually hid it very well, looking like a decent little maid. As soon as she reveals her true colors, how can she be a "hideous"!

Because of the dazzling moon slave, the wine shop has become extremely lively. Xue Shao was quiet in the middle of the noise, quietly observing the spies who were watching, but they didn't have any special moves.

Inadvertently, his eyes glanced at the outside of the wine shop, and Xue Shao saw a familiar figure in the noisy crowd on the street that made him feel a sense of hatred in his heart!.
