Luoyang, Wu Chenghe's mansion

In the study room of the east wing, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi sat opposite each other on the couch, talking about the gains and losses of the government.

Wu Chenghe's face was happy, he was content, he has recently won the favor of the Empress Dowager Zetian, and he has taken the position of Tianguan Shangshu, and the promotion of officials in charge is definitely a good job.

"What's the matter with the eldest brother coming?" Wu Chengji asked.

The two talked about some daily matters, but Wu Chengsi knew that Wu Sansi didn't come to the mansion late at night to chat and talk about these things.

"The day before yesterday, someone in the imperial court recommended Ningzhou Thorn Shi Di Renjie, and my aunt has sent a letter to ask him to return to Beijing?" Wu Sansi asked.

"This is indeed the case, and it is recommended by Guo Han, the supervisor of the right stage." Wu Chengsi replied, "What, is there a problem?" ”

"Di Renjie is not a simple character, he is a threat to us." Wu Sansi said.

"How can I see that this matter has been approved by my aunt, I heard that my aunt admires Di Renjie a lot, and when she saw someone recommending it, she approved it." Wu Chengsi said.

"I think it's better to kill him," Wu Sansi said gloomily.

"Big brother, what do you say?" Wu Chengsi said in surprise.

Di Renjie has no grudges and hatred with the martial family, he is just a middle-level official, if he is assassinated for no reason, it is really unreasonable. Wu Chengsi has always been indifferent to assassination, and the struggle in the court has its own way of working, you can use methods such as framing and squeezing out, but you can't be reduced to a red fruit and an armed struggle without any political reasons. Otherwise, you will face a counterattack from within the system.

For example, those big lords of the family are secretly hiding secret weapons, if some of them suffer some grievances in the officialdom, they will send a master to directly kill the competitors, or even the emperor himself, then everything will be messed up.

"Di Renjie is just an insignificant five-grade assassin, what good is it for us to kill him and harm others and ourselves?" Wu Chengsi continued, "Besides, my aunt transferred Di Renjie to Beijing, obviously for another appointment, and it is not good to provoke her old man." ”

"Di Renjie is a scourge, and he must be removed." Wu Sansi said again, "He is Gaozong's henchman, I'm afraid he won't be of the same heart as us." ”

"With us?" Wu Chengsi laughed at himself, "Seven or eight out of ten officials in the world are like this, why is he the only one." ”

"My aunt wants to be a female emperor, this kind of idea is unprecedented, and the resistance she faces can be imagined," Wu Sansi said, "That's why I have to remove the stones that stand in my way." ”

"Di Renjie did not show obvious hostility towards us," Wu Chengsi said, "why did he do it, there are many ways to kill people, and assassinating officials is a taboo in officialdom." ”

"Di Renjie seems to be loyal, but in fact he is very hostile to us, if this is the case, I don't care about it," Wu Sansi said, "The key is his other identity, he really wants to stand on our side, and the destructive power is extremely great." ”

"Another identity?" Wu Chengsi asked.

"Heavenly Palace Hidden Appearance, I suspect that Di Renjie is the Hidden Appearance of Heavenly Palace's generation." Wu Sansi said.

"The Silent Wheel Heavenly Palace of the Heavenly Palace?" Wu Chengsi said.

"Heavenly Palace, Tianguan is Diluo, and the Heavenly Master is subdued by demons," which is the three holy places of Daomen, the mysterious Jinglun Heavenly Palace, which is famous for its obsession with the way of heaven, and the Louguan Road is regarded as the temple of the Li Tang royal family.

"I came to this conclusion by accident when I found out who the previous generation of the Silent Wheel Heavenly Palace was from a secret file." Wu Sansi said.

"Who was the last generation of hidden images?" Wu Chengji asked.

Jinglun Heavenly Palace is famous for cultivating the way of heaven, and rarely interferes in the affairs of the world, but there are exceptions. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, Buddhism and Taoism competed for power, all relying on the imperial power of the world as a backer, attacking each other, Jinglun Heavenly Palace had to intervene in the secular imperial power in order to maintain survival, and launched the spokesperson of the Heavenly Palace in the world, this person represented the Jinglun Heavenly Palace to maintain the secular order, called "hidden phase".

"Yan Liben, the prime minister of Gaozong," Wu Sansi said.

"Yan Liben is likely to be the Hidden Shadow of the Upper Generation of the Jinglun Heavenly Palace, and he is Di Renjie's teacher," Wu Sansi continued, "It was his recommendation that Di Renjie became the Governor of the Prefecture and joined the army, and later served as the Secretary of Dali." ”

"One Qing and three armies, mighty martial arts, I've also heard of this." , Wu Chengsi said.

The power in the rivers and lakes martial arts has always been not to be underestimated. Thinking back to the Sui and Tang dynasties, when the heroes rose together, Li Tang was able to sweep away the heroes and ascend to the throne, and it was one of the important reasons to get the support of various forces in the martial arts at that time.

The Chang'an Tsing Yi Society, which has a power all over Guanzhong, and the Luoyang Gang in Weizhen Henan, these martial arts gangs have been invested under Li Tang, and their leading bosses are like Shi Wanbao and Qiu Xinggong, who later became important ministers of the Tang Dynasty and presided over the generals.

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat", the eloquent Emperor Taizong deeply understood, he could pacify the world, kill Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and the martial arts masters from the gang made great efforts. On the one hand, Taizong used the power of the gang, on the other hand, he was deeply afraid of it, so he adopted the method of both suppression and infiltration, and through the "one Qing and three armies," Dali Qing, Jingzhao, Henan, and the three major governors of the prefecture, Fa Cao, joined the army to manage the affairs of the gang, and established the "Xuanwu" organization to infiltrate the martial arts.

"Xuanwu" is the predecessor of "Snake Spirit", one of the four spirits of today's rivers and lakes.

At present, there are many forces in the martial arts, there is a song trick cloud: "Tiangong Pianpianke, Tianguan is the emperor, the heavenly master subdues the demons, Guanyin mercy law, the white lotus is open everywhere, Shaolin Zen Wulai" represents the six holy places of Buddhism, in addition to the four spirits mixed in the world, "Longxiang nine domains through the universe, the snake pan nine places travel in all directions, the phoenix dance nine days near the sun and the moon, the crane song nine Gao heard the world," the west hidden dragon, the northern snake spirit, occupy the central phoenix dance, the southeast of the crane song, four organizations.

"Since Di Renjie served as the secretary of Dali, he has deep scheming and superb means, and has driven the masters of the six doors under the Dali Temple to suppress the various gangs in the martial arts, and he is respected as the king of Jizo." Wu San thought about it.

"Dancing Phoenix" is also one of the martial arts gangs, although the purpose is to loot money, find out the news, and cooperate with the martial arts to seize political power, but in the process it is inevitable to use force, and there are not a few killings.

"My aunt took him away from Dali Qing's position before, thinking it was because he was too influential." Wu Chengsi nodded and said, "However, if my aunt wants to reappoint him now, she must have ulterior motives, but you want to kill him, and it is not beautiful to destroy my aunt's plan." ”

"Big brother, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." Wu Sansi said.

"Say it," Wu Chengji said.

"My aunt's goal is power, the emperor's throne, maybe she will reuse our martial arts family in order to ascend the throne, but she may not be wholeheartedly for the martial family." Wu Sansi said.

Wu Sansi leaned in front of Wu Chengsi and whispered his long-considered plan.

"After a long time, I don't know when I will be able to return it?" A white-haired and slightly chubby old man, wearing a scarlet robe and a jade belt, and a silver fish bag around his waist, lifted the curtain and looked at the majestic Chang'an City in the distance and sighed.

"Di Gong's thoughts will not come true, and it is natural for His Majesty to return to Chang'an after his majesty is in power." The samurai in front of the carriage said loudly.

"Seven or eight times out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory, let alone things in the country and the world. The world is unpredictable! Di Renjie said, "Di Fu, what do you think of the queen of heaven calling me back to Beijing this time?" ”

"I can't guess what the queen thinks." Defoe replied honestly. He is just a servant who follows Di Renjie, and he knows a lot about the affairs of the court.

"What the queen thinks," Di Renjie whispered.

"No matter what the queen thinks, my generation only needs to have a heart for the people and the world." Defoe said.

"It makes sense, Defoe, you have greatly solved my confusion." Di Renjie laughed when he heard this.

"Di Gong, not far ahead is the Zishui Station, we will live there tonight." Defoe continued.

"Good!" Di Renjie said.

This person is the Ningzhou Thorn Shi Di Renjie who was ordered to return to Beijing, although he has no power to restrain the chicken, but he is deeply respected by the masters of the world, and is known as the "King of Dizang", and has controlled the martial arts for nearly ten years.

"Wu Zaide's horse is really good!" Li Rong looked at the horse that Li Kaigu was riding and said.

I saw that this horse was pure black and had four snow-white hooves, which was exactly the same as the legendary "white hoofed black" of Emperor Taizong.

"Yuan Ming, you've said this sentence more than a dozen times along the way, but I won't give you the horse." Li Kaigu happily touched the horse and said.

The most valuable treasure on the prairie is the horse, especially the best horse like the "White Hoof", which can be said to be a thousand gold. Although Li Kaigu was born in a big family, he had never gotten such a good horse.

Li Rong is also a horse lover, he has long been in love with Wu Zaide's horse, and after Wu Zaide lost the competition, he personally ran to bring the horse back, otherwise Li Kaigu's power would not be able to help Wu Zaide, who was bent on playing tricks.

"In front of us is Zishui Station, and we will be separated." Luo Zhenghai whispered beside him.

"Don't act like a woman, we'll meet again later." Li Kaigu said.

"I hope so!" Luo Zhenghai replied.

Several people were thousands of miles away later, and the chance of meeting was very slim.
