In fact, in recent years, with the fight between Gojong and Wuhou, the prime ministers of the political hall have changed back and forth like a marquee, but with the prestige established by Gojong in the process of pacifying Goguryeo, the situation is still developing in his favor. First of all, in February of the second year of the general chapter, Gaozong appointed Zhang Wenjun and Hao Chujun as the three products of the same east and west Taiwan, which further strengthened his power in the political hall, but the Empress Wu then counterattacked, taking advantage of Gaozong's illness, forced the right minister, Lecheng man Liu Renliang to write a letter to ask for Zhishi, and approved Liu Renliang's request without Gaozong's knowledge, and then appointed his confidant Xu Jingzong as the right minister.

Later, Gaozong was ill and went to the court, so he was naturally deeply dissatisfied with Empress Wu's actions, so after some preparations, he finally forced Xu Jingzong to write a letter to the Emperor, causing Empress Wu to lose one of her most important arms.

Since then, the overall situation of the political hall has been controlled by Gaozong again, but not long after, the Empress Wu counterattacked again, and under the recommendation of Xu Jingzong, he reinstated Li Jingxuan as a waiter in the West and the three products of the East and West Taiwan, in an attempt to confront Gaozong, but Li Jingxuan is still upright, and he has been his attendant before Gaozong succeeds to the throne, and they also have a certain relationship with each other, and they are not very obedient to the orders of the Empress Wu, so in the political hall today, Gaozong is still a person who can speak.

Of course, since today is a court meeting, not only does it need the consent of the political affairs hall, but the opinions of other officials are also an important reference, but surprisingly, there is no one in the court who opposes it, but it is no wonder that Li Xian has been outside the imperial party and the queen party for so many years, and he is favored by Gaozong and Empress Wu, and he has always been kind and polite to people, and there is really no one who opposes him.

In fact, when Li Xian heard about the affairs in the west, he had already made a good plan, because he knew that Xue Rengui would definitely be the commander of the expedition this time, and he also knew that Xue Rengui would definitely fail, and this defeat would not only lead to the erosion of the situation in the west, but even the situation in Liaodong would have an extremely bad impact, causing Goguryeo to break away from the control of the imperial court step by step, and at the same time, it also made Silla grow stronger and stronger, and finally became an uncontrollable situation.

Therefore, Li Xian had already made a plan, and was ready to get a lot of benefits from him through a few, and had already suggested to the emperor that he should go with the army according to the imperial historians who had thrown him into the army, but before these imperial histories could speak, Helan Minzhi actually took the lead in proposing, and these imperial histories were naturally secretly happy in their hearts, and it was too late to be happy, let alone refuse.

Therefore, the appointment of Li Xian to follow Xue Rengui on the expedition was miraculously finalized by all votes in favor.

However, Gaozong still didn't want Li Xian to be able to come to the battlefield in person, so for Li Xian's job arrangement, he gave a position to inspect the Anxi Metropolitan Protector, in addition, Gaozong also decided to merge the Liangzhou Metropolitan Mansion and the Ganzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion into the Liangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, with Li Xian as the Liangzhou Metropolitan Governor, and the deputy general manager of the Luosa Road March, mainly responsible for the transportation of grain and grass.

Don't look at Li Xian's many positions, but in essence, he is still a fictitious position, he has no military power at all, and he only has thousands of grain transporters under his command, and even if these thousands of grain transporters are still under the unified dispatch of Guo Beifeng, the deputy general manager of the Luosa Road March, Li Xian is just a name.

However, this does not mean that Li Xian does not have soldiers and horses under his account, at least the three hundred guards in his palace are absolutely loyal to him, these three hundred people have been in battle for a long time when they pacified Goguryeo, and they have rich combat experience, and later after Tang Xiujing's strict training, they are no longer weaker than any elite army in the world.

Although he did not get any actual position, Li Xian did not feel the slightest frustration after learning the news, because he knew that the main purpose of his trip to the west was not to fight, not to mention that he was a prince, and it was not impossible for him to really want power in his capacity.

"Hehe, Da Fei Chuan, on Qinling, I'm here, this time with my Li Xian's participation, I will definitely rewrite the battle situation, so that Er and other dogs can no longer be rampant." After being appointed, Li Xian clenched his fists and said silently to the void.

At this time, in the Wuhou Palace, Helan Minzhi was sitting proudly, still tasting fragrant tea in his mouth, and smiled at the Wuhou and said: "Auntie, this time I successfully destroyed the marriage between the prince and Yang Sijian, I don't know what reward my aunt will have?" ”

When Empress Wu heard this, she seriously inadvertently showed a hint of fierceness, but quickly covered it up, and then said to Helan Minzhi with a smile: "Zhi'er is really nonsense. Is there any reason in this world not to give a reward and come to ask for it? Hmph, besides, this guy deliberately framed Miss Yang in the name of Xian'er, and this matter has not yet had time to be investigated. Fortunately, there was no accident, the young lady Yang was robbed by the bandits, and was sent back inexplicably, otherwise, once the Yang family lost, it was blamed on Xian'er, and when it came to the front of the emperor, the saint would inevitably send someone to investigate in detail, and even the palace would not be able to protect you at that time. ”

But I heard Helan Minzhi say: "My aunt doesn't know, the reason why my son did this is really a last resort, and it is for the good of my aunt." ”

"Hmph, what about the good of this palace? Didn't you get beaten in my mother's mansion, and you couldn't get out of the evil breath in your heart, so you deliberately framed Xian'er? This guy dares to be rude to Taiping, even if he beats you, it's not too much, fortunately, it's okay, otherwise it's strange that I won't let you take off your three layers of skin. Although there was a smile in Empress Wu's words, it made Yuzhu, the maid who was waiting carefully, shudder, because Yuzhu had followed Empress Wu for nearly twenty years, and knew that Empress Wu's words were by no means casual, and I was afraid that she had already had the intention of killing Helan Min in her heart.

It's a pity that Helan Minzhi didn't have half of this sentence, but shouted and said aggrievedly: "Auntie, Zhi'er is really wronged, Zhi'er is doing this for Niangniang, yes, Zhi'er admitted that he was indeed beaten in his grandmother's mansion, but if he was beaten by his cousin, then there is no need to say more, after all, Xian'er is strong in martial arts, and none of the ten sons are opponents, but a little maid under his command has such a ability, and all the guards under his command are powerless, so how powerful should those guards in his palace be?" If all the three hundred guards are so powerful, how can this person be willing to be subordinate to others after the future crown prince ascends the throne? It is precisely because of this that I framed my cousin, hoping that the imperial court would cut off his wings so that there would be no endless troubles in the future. ”

When Empress Wu heard this, she scolded sharply: "How dare the kid talk such nonsense? How could I be? ”

Despite this, Helan Minzhi clearly saw that a trace of jealousy had appeared on Empress Wu's face, and he believed that as long as this emotion was allowed to develop, the rift between Empress Wu and Li Xian would become bigger and bigger, and eventually it would reach the point of being out of control. At that time, he can completely borrow a knife to kill people, and use the hand of the martial queen to get rid of Li Xian's henchman, and at the same time vent the evil anger in his chest for himself.

Although Helan Minzhi is a straw bag, but the basic judgment is still there, after listening to his words, Empress Wu really became vigilant against him, and began to secretly strengthen the surveillance of Li Xian, and the contradiction between her and Li Xian is indeed getting bigger and bigger, and finally to the point of irreconcilability.

However, what He Lanminzhi didn't know was that his slanderous words also aggravated his death, because Empress Wu felt more and more that with Helan Minzhi's means, it was impossible to restrain Li Xian at all, but would strengthen Li Xian's strength and cultivate another opponent for himself.

"It's time for the heirs and think twice about them, these two boys are far superior to this guy in terms of loyalty and city government, maybe only they can compete with my rebels. However, Helan Minzhi's house was covered by his mother, and he couldn't be moved in a hurry, so it seemed that I had to endure it for a while longer. ”

Although Empress Wu had already had murderous intentions, she was still kind on the surface, and smiled at Helan Minzhi: "Since you said that you framed Xian'er for the sake of the palace, why did you recommend him to go to Tibet this time?" Could it be that you want to give him some work? ”

But I heard Helan Minzhi laugh and said: "I don't know this aunt, the reason why Zhi'er recommended that Li Xian out, just want one more to bear the responsibility of defeat, hehe, I have already found a master in advance to calculate, this expedition to Tibet, my Tang Dynasty will be defeated, aunt and think about it, this defeat, Xue Rengui, Ashina Daozhen and others must all be held accountable, at least for the people, in this way, doesn't it give my aunt a chance to seize military power?" If I use a little trick, I will definitely make Li Xian's house have no future. ”

"Who did the son find? Is it accurate? It can't be a charlatan, right? When Empress Wu heard this, she looked incredulous, shook her head and said.

I saw Helan Minzhi smile again: "This time my aunt is wrong, the person I am looking for is a real Taoist master, named Ming Chongyan, it is said that he was a disciple of Li Chunfeng, the late Taishi Ling, who has resigned from the deep mountains and old forests, not only proficient in divination, but also proficient in immortal arts, and is indeed a strange person who meets once in a hundred years." ”

"Huh? It turned out to be Li Chunfeng's disciple? Maybe there are really some Taoism, so tell my aunt quickly, where is this Mr. Ming now? My aunt wants to visit in person, hehe, if I get her help in the future, why should I worry...... Naturally, I can't do without your benefits. ”

Empress Wu originally wanted to say that he was not worried about the great cause, but when he saw Helan Minzhi beside him, he immediately changed his words.

"Hehe, Li Xian'er, if you know the truth of the matter, I'm afraid you will die of sadness, even your biological mother is not facing you, but you don't have to worry, it won't be long before you really die, because slowly you will know that what you have to bear is not what I told my aunt."

Helan Minzhi thought that he had obtained the tacit approval of Empress Wu for plotting against Li Xian, and he was infinitely excited in his heart, and he didn't care about the meaning of Empress Wu's words under the excitement, and immediately told Ming Chongyan where he was. (To be continued.) )
