Night, East Palace.

Li Hong sat in the front hall, thinking about today's events.

So many things have happened today, but in general, they are still under their own control, in addition to Li Zhi's unexpected anger, and the fact that Empress Wu simply took this matter lightly, made Li Hong a little confused in his heart.

It seems that today it was Li Hong who persuaded Empress Wu with his clever tongue, but it is better to say that Empress Wu pushed the boat down the river to fulfill Li Hong's wish, you must know that Li Hong's methods of trying this case are not above board, and most of the reasons he said are just chasing after the wind and shadows, and punishing the heart!

may be able to bluff Li Zhi, who is confused for a while because of exhaustion, but with the shrewdness of the martial queen, he can definitely see that Li Hong's external strength and middle cadre, no matter what, Li Hong's killing of Helan Minzhi is a slap in the face of the martial queen, although Li Hong has done all kinds of remedies for this, but it still can't change this.

In fact, although Li Hong gave the Empress Wu a fold, he didn't expect the Empress Wu to be so smart and decisive, and even if he guessed the whole story, he quickly rushed to the Xuanzheng Palace.

What made Li Hong even more strange was that Empress Wu actually agreed to deal with Helan Minzhi's matter without showing the slightest displeasure, which really made Li Hong puzzled.

Looking at Empress Wu's attitude, it seems that she doesn't want to keep Helan Minzhi, and even in the end, Helan Minyue's trick of trying to imprison Helan Minzhi in the Criminal Department was also resolved by Empress Wu's raised hand.

This is clearly the rhythm of putting He Lanmin to death.

"Your Highness, Lord Zhang of Dali Temple, the right servant of Shangshu shoots Lord Dai and asks to see you!"

A small chamberlain hurried in to report.

"Please."

Li Hong sorted out his chaotic thoughts, got up to greet Zhang Wenqian and Dai Zhide, and Di Renjie followed.

"Your Highness, how does His Highness plan to deal with the matter of Zhou Guogong?"

As soon as he sat down, Dai Zhide asked straight to the point.

These days, although Dai Zhide has not brought much help to Li Hong in the matter of Helan Min, it does not mean that he does not attach importance to this matter.

It's just that Dai Zhide is not an official of the prison, and it is not justified to meddle in this matter, and secondly, Li Zhi ordered Liu Renliang and Xu Jingzong to be responsible for hearing the case.

What's more, Dai Zhide is not unhelpful to Li Hong, not to mention the last time it was rumored that Liu Renliang obstructed the Western Expedition, so that Li Hong and Li Ji have the most powerful hole card in the negotiation, that is, this time Li Hong was able to get through the danger in the Xuanzheng Palace, and he also asked for his help.

Coincidentally, since the last time Li Ji made a big fuss in the political hall, Xu Jingzong handed over the logistics of the Western Expedition to Dai Zhide, after all, his name of justice is recognized by the government and the opposition, and only by being in charge of him can Li Ji rest assured.

The logistics of the army are very complicated, Dai Zhide was even busy not going to greet the emperor and queen when he returned to Kyoto last time, and as soon as he heard that a large number of weapons appeared in the sixth rate of the East Palace, he immediately thought of the weapons of the Western Expedition army, and immediately verified every load of baggage transferred, so that Yao Chong received a military report of the loss of baggage.

You must know that losing your baggage is a big crime, if Dai Zhide hadn't sent someone to investigate in time, maybe the people below would have quietly concealed this matter, after all, this batch of weapons is a lot for the six chances of the East Palace, but it is insignificant for the 300,000 Western Expedition army.

Therefore, although Dai Zhide did not contribute positively this time, it can be said that he has made great contributions.

Today, he was also very concerned about the trial of the three divisions, but just after the trial, Li Hong and his cadres were summoned into the palace by Li Zhi, which really made Old Man Dai anxious for a long time.

It was because Zhang Wenqian had just made clear to him about today's situation, so he pulled Zhang Wenqian to the East Palace.

"Master Dai rest assured, Helan Minzhi must be in a catastrophe this time, the queen mother personally made an order, and no one can save him."

Li Hong looked at Dai Zhide with a tired look on his face, and said softly.

"This son is extremely evil, there is no king's law, it is normal to have this end, but the old minister is afraid that the night is long and dreamy, and now Mrs. Rongguo is about to return to Beijing, with Mrs. Rongguo's doting on Zhou Guogong, maybe there will be any changes! What's more, today's Niangniang had already ordered to be beheaded immediately, but because of Mrs. Rongguo's words, she changed her mind, and it is inevitable that there will be changes in the future......"

Zhang Wenqian was not as optimistic as Li Hong, and said in a sullen voice with a frown.

"Lord Zhang's words are wrong, Lone believes that the queen mother's mind has been decided, even if it is a grandmother, it is difficult to shake the queen mother's mind."

Li Hong looked full of confidence.

"How so?"

Zhang Wenqian asked suspiciously.

"Master Zhang, do you remember, what did the queen mother say when I was about to leave the palace today?"

Li Hong said slowly with a mysterious smile on his face.

"The queen is sympathetic to her nephew and detains Helan Minzhi in Dali Temple! Your Highness, are there any questions? ”

The eagerness between Zhang Wenjun's eyebrows did not diminish, but he became even more worried.

In fact, it was precisely because of this slightly ambiguous attitude of Empress Wu that Comrade Lao Zhang felt deeply uneasy, for fear that Empress Wu would change his mind again.

Unexpectedly, Li Hong shook his head and said.

"Dali Temple is not in charge of the execution of prisoners, not to mention that the conditions of the Criminal Department are not much worse than those of Dali Temple, and what difference does it make if Helan Minyi lives as a dying person?"

"What does Your Highness mean?"

"Helan Minyue hurried to the Xuanzheng Palace, is it just to let Helan Minzhi live a few more days? No, she wanted to save Helan Minzhi in these few days! Now that the queen mother's will has reached Menxia Province, even if she has great ability, she has no power to return to heaven, so the rest is obviously only one way left......"

Li Hong sneered.

"Li Dai Tao stiff!"

Dai Zhide followed Li Hong's words and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is the person who was single-handedly picked up by Li Yifu, and Helan Minzhi and Li Yifu have always had a very good personal relationship, if they are imprisoned in the Criminal Department, maybe they will do something!"

Li Hong's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly, but then a trace of ridicule flashed on his face.

"But this little bit of caution obviously can't hide from the eyes of the queen mother, today the queen mother temporarily put Helan Minzhi in Dali Temple to detain, making it clear that she doesn't want them to succeed, so the father and queen mother don't have to worry, but Dali Temple doesn't have to be heavily guarded by the criminal department after all, Lord Zhang still has to be careful about what they do."

"Your Highness, rest assured, as long as there are old ministers, Dali Temple will never happen again!"

After listening to Li Hong's explanation, Zhang Wenqian put his mind at ease and patted his chest to reassure.

However, this time Li Hong was not sure, he never believed that Helan Minyue would stop there, but ......

If it is a secret trick, he Li Hong may not be afraid of others!

"Your Highness, the old minister came here today, but it was for another matter."

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Dai Zhide hesitated for a moment and slowly spoke.

"Master Dai, please speak!"
