I don't know what the reason is, Zong Chuke, who has always been flamboyant, came to Luzhou this time but was very low-key, not only did he not have many followers, but he also did not explain the intention of coming this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Liang Dequan took Luzhou officials to greet Liang Dequan, Zong Chuke's eyes swept over Liang Dequan's face, but he only said: "Take me to the post house, I'm tired along the way." ”

At the reception banquet set up by Luzhou officials for Zong Chuke, after sprinkling three rounds, Zong Chuke looked at Liang Dequan with a smile and said, "Liang Tingshi, do you know the purpose of my visit to Luzhou this time?" ”

Liang Dequan was sincerely afraid: "Elder Zongge, the lower officials don't know, please give advice!" ”

Listening to Liang Dequan's words, Zong Chuke was very angry: You still pretend not to know what you have done, which caused me to go all the way to Luzhou.

Zong Chuke did have a reason to be angry.

Twenty days ago, Liang Dequan, the assassin of Luzhou, wrote to Zhongzong, exposing Empress Wei's 13 charges of accepting bribes for personal gain, buying and selling officials, and acting alone in disorderly government, and asked Zhongzong to severely punish him.

Zhongshu Province Zhongshu Ling Zong Chuke suppressed Liang Dequan's letter and quietly reported the matter to Empress Wei.

Empress Wei was furious when she learned about it and prepared to remove her from office. At this time, Princess Anle came to intercede for Liang Dequan, claiming that Liang Dequan had always been loyal to Empress Wei, and he must have been framed by someone, so Empress Wei let Liang Dequan go. Liang Dequan is actually not Princess Anle's confidant, and the reason why Princess Anle intercedes for Liang Dequan is, of course, to honor her own silver every year.

Empress Wei thought about it again and again, and for the sake of safety, she decided to send Zong Chuke to Luzhou to find out in person, and then make plans.

So, Zong Chuke found an excuse and asked Zhongzong to come to Luzhou to inspect.

With Empress Wei blowing the wind on the side, Zhongzong didn't think about it and played. Being able to personally send Zong Chuke, who was the Zhongshu Order, to investigate this matter shows that Empress Wei is very concerned about this matter. In other words, Zong Chuke's words ultimately determined Liang Dequan's life and death.

Liang Dequan has a lot of oil and water in Luzhou, but he only knows how to honor Empress Wei and Princess Anle, and beat himself like a flower, which makes Zong Chuke dissatisfied for a long time. Coming to Luzhou this time, Zong Chuke has secretly made up his mind, if Liang Dequan doesn't know each other, then it won't make him feel better.

Zong Chuke has been in the court for a long time, old and cunning, although he was unhappy when he heard Liang Dequan's words, his face was still full of smiles: "It's good if you don't know, it's good if you don't know!" ”

Liang Dequan didn't know what to say for a while.

"Liang Tingshi, can you send me the official document you wrote recently, so that I can read it?" Zong Chuke's voice changed and said.

"Huh?" Liang Dequan couldn't figure out what Zong Chuke meant, and was stunned on the spot for a while.

Liang Dequan's actions were seen in the eyes of Zong Chuke, but he was regarded as a thief, and Zong Chuke decided that Liang Dequan would definitely not be able to get rid of it.

"What? Liang Tingshi, do you have any difficulties? Zong Chuke asked with squinted eyes.

"Oh!" Liang Dequan reacted at this time, and said busily: "There is no difficulty!" No difficulty! ”

Looking at Liang Dequan's flustered expression, the smile on Zong Chuke's face became even stronger.

……

In the guest room of the Luzhou official post, Zong Chuke took a long breath and gently closed the official documents and files on the case. After repeatedly comparing the handwriting, Zong Chuke can confirm that the letter to Zhongzong was indeed done by Liang Dequan himself.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether Liang Dequan wrote the book, there are not a few people in the court who wrote to impeach Empress Wei, but in the end, how many had a good end?

It is not easy for Zong Chuke to come to Luzhou, the key depends on whether Liang Dequan can do things himself. If Liang Dequan is smart and can satisfy himself, the black Zong Chuke can also be said to be white, and he is absolutely guaranteed to be fine.

At the previous reception banquet, Zong Chuke had already ordered Liang Dequan.

At this moment, Zong Chuke is like an angler, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

As the hour passed, there was a knock on the door outside Zong Chuke's house.

Zong Chuke's heart moved: The fish has been hooked!

"Come in!" Zong Chuke said in a deep voice.

The door opened, and a man walked in.

When he saw the person who came clearly, Zong Chuke's surprise overflowed: "Yao Ge Lao? How are you? ”

No wonder Zong Chuke was surprised, because it was not Liang Dequan, who he was patiently waiting for, who entered the door, but Yao Chong, an uninvited guest.

Speaking of which, Zong Chuke and Yao Chong have been officials in the same dynasty for many years. In October of the first year of the holy calendar, under the recommendation of Neishi Di Renjie, Yao Chong was appointed as the Xia official squire and the Tongfeng Pavilion Luantai Ping Zhangshi, and entered the list of prime ministers. In March of the first year of Dazu, Yao Chong was appointed as the squire of Fengge and entered the middle school; In June, he was promoted to the third rank of Xia Guanshangshu Tongfeng Pavilion Luantai. During the period of Emperor Zetian, Yao Chong served as prime minister for six years and three months, and Zong Chuke's official position has always been under Yao Chong. It is precisely because of such a relationship that Zong Chuke blurted out and called Yao Chong Yao Ge Lao.

Yao Chong gave a big gift to Zong Chuke: "Yao has seen Zong Pavilion Elder!" ”

Anyway, Yao Chong was his former boss, and he gave him a big salute, and Zong Chuke hurriedly returned the salute: "Yao Ge is polite." ”

"Elder Zongge, I'm not a pavilion elder now, it's just a little Luzhou Sicang who joined the army, and I hope that Zong Pavilion Elder will help me a lot in the future!" Yao Chong lowered his stature.

Yao Chong's words made Zong Chuke very useful, he nodded and said, "Yao Ge Lao, please come inside, let's talk slowly!" ”

After the two of them sat down, Zong Chuke tentatively said: "I don't know what Yao Ge Lao's late-night visit is......"

Yao Chong didn't hide his intentions, and asked directly: "Yao wants to know the deep meaning of Zong Ge Lao's trip to Luzhou!" ”

"Well...... Zong Chuke pondered, not knowing what to say.

Yao Chong smiled slightly, took out three night pearls from his arms, and handed them to Zong Chuke: "Please accept the old smile of the Zong Pavilion!" ”

Zong Chuke took it and took a closer look, only to see that the three beads emitted a strange light, the color of the side view was blue, and the color of the front view was white. He is a man who has seen the world and knows that these three pearls of the night are worth a lot.

After receiving the night pearl, Zong Chuke spoke much more cheerfully: "This Liang Dequan, if you have something to say, why bother to let Yao Ge come to investigate?" ”

"Elder Zongge, this matter has nothing to do with Liang Thorn's history, it is Yao himself who wants to ask!" Yao Chong's words were beyond Zong Chuke's expectations.

"Didn't Liang Dequan ask you to come?" Zong Chuke was a little unconvinced.

"Not really!"

Since Zong Chuke received Yao Chong's Night Pearl, he didn't bother to care whether he was sent by Liang Dequan or not, and explained the causes and consequences of the matter one by one.

Yao Chong listened, nodded and said, "I understand!" ”

After a little thought, Yao Chong said again: "Elder Zongge, Yao has something to ask for!" ”

"Elder Yao Ge, please speak!"

"If this matter is not done by Liang Tingshi, if it is really done by Liang Tingshi, he will definitely not end well if he provokes the queen. Yao had the courage to ask the elder Zongge to seek the position of Luzhou assassin for Yao, how about it? ”
