A few days later, Cheng Lishi handed over the two suspects to Dali Temple, and after some interrogation by Di Renjie, the suspect who assassinated the craftsman, Qin Ming, confessed to the fact of assassinating the craftsman, and confessed that the mastermind behind his scenes was Qiu Shenji, and at the same time identified another suspect, Bai Qinai, who was responsible for framing Li Xian with soapnails.

Di Renjie then continued to interrogate the suspect Bai Qi, but after some interrogation, Bai Qi also confessed that he was indeed the main responsible for the matter, and recruited his accomplices, and at the same time proposed that the reason why he wanted to do this was because he was ordered by a person named Li Huiran, this Li Huiran is actually the head of a Taoist organization, this Taoist organization is called Xuandu Temple, and the warriors in the temple look no different from ordinary Taoist priests, but in fact they are all martial arts masters, and their activities are very secretive. It's a cult organization.

After Di Renjie got the news, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, he didn't expect that there was such a terrible force lurking in the capital area, if it was allowed to grow, he really didn't know what harm it would bring.

So Di Renjie immediately secretly saw Gaozong, and asked Gaozong to secretly mobilize the power of the hundred horses, and suddenly came to Xuandu Temple, and ruthlessly exterminated the remaining forces there, but when the army came to Xuandu Temple, it was found that there had already been empty, so Di Renjie released a picture and graphic, and arrested the backbone members of Xuandu Temple across the country, and then Li Yuanfang, the guard next to Di Renjie, finally found a secret stronghold of Xuandu Temple after careful investigation, and killed more than ten masters, and then later, I don't know which force it is, it actually found the lair of Xuanduguan, after a fierce battle, dozens of masters were killed in Xuanduguan, and only a few leaders broke through, and in the mouths of these few leaders, people learned that this mysterious organization that killed dozens of masters of Xuanduguan was called "Snake Spirit".

After that, the masters of the Xuandu Temple mysteriously disappeared, and no one could find any news about them, which became a mystery for a year or two.

After a careful investigation, Di Renjie finally concluded that this batch of soap armor was approved by Wei Weiqing Wu Chengsi and taken out of Weiwei Temple, so Di Renjie wrote to the emperor to impeach Wei Weiqing Wu Chengsi for abusing his power, misappropriating weapons without permission, and violating national law.

As a result, it naturally aroused the wrath of the emperor, and ordered Wu Chengsi to be demoted to the assassin of Chuzhou, and appointed Wei Wei Shaoqing Wei Chi Baolin as Wei Weiqing.

Until this time, the whole prince's rebellion case finally settled, in this case, the imperial historian Yuan Gongyu was forced to Zhishi because of negligence, and after returning to his hometown for half a year, he got a serious illness due to fear, and finally died; Those cool officials recommended by Yuan Gongyu, Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen, Suo Yuanli, Wang Hongyi, Hou Sizhi and others were stripped of their official positions because of indiscriminate punishment and poor conduct, and they were never used. Qiu Shenji, who had just been reinstated to the position of Zuojin Wuwei Zhonglang a month ago, was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima, but for some reason, he was killed by Liukou on the way to the demotion of the official, and the Empress Wu was furious and sent someone to investigate, but after two or three months of investigation, no clues were found, and the case had to be closed.

In addition, the mysterious power behind Empress Wu Xuanduguan was uprooted, and Empress Wu lost a very important force to rely on, which made her no longer so casual when she performed some special tasks in the future, and for Empress Wu, she buried the power left to her by her old lover Ming Chongyan, and the loss in her heart was really indescribable.

Not only that, Xue Yuanchao was also reprimanded for violating the holy will several times, and the crown prince Li Xian also took the opportunity to rectify the East Palace, in the process of removing many officers and soldiers with improper style, loose thinking, and lax discipline. They were also excluded in the East Palace, and many important matters in the East Palace were not discussed with them.

At the same time, Gaozong also decided to make meritorious contributions to the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions in the process of counterinsurgency in the north not long ago, and in this process, those henchmen around Li Xian were further promoted, the prince's left guard paid rate Gao Sheji was promoted to the prince's left prison rate, the prince's personal guard captain Zhang Deyu was promoted to the prince's personal guard lieutenant general, the Xunwei lieutenants Zhang Wei and Liu Youqiu were promoted to the commander of the guard, the guard's general Sun Fei, Yi Weilang's Zheng Jin was promoted to the prince's guard's lieutenant general, and Yi Weilang's Wang Hui was promoted to the prince's left division's imperial payment rate.

At this time, Xue Rengui had successfully pacified Silla, captured the king of Silla, Kim Jung-myeong, and handed it over to the imperial court.

Gaozong was overjoyed, and appointed Xue Rengui as the secretary of the military department, and Li Duozuo, the general who also made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, was the general of the left prison gate, and Guo Yuanzhen was directly appointed as the servant of the ministry, and he was directly promoted to the prime minister!

Even the two talents recommended by Li Xian, Yao Chong and Song Jing, were respectively appointed as secretaries, young eunuchs and Shangshu Zuocheng, becoming veritable figures of real power.

Even if this is not the end, Gaozong also asked Li Xian to go directly to Chang'an to supervise the country on the grounds that he was sick, unless there was a major matter that was undecided, he asked Gaozong and Empress Wu for advice, and appointed Liu Renliang, Xue Rengui, Pei Yan, Xue Yuanchao, Cui Zhiwen and others to assist, which shows Gaozong's support for Li Xian.

This kind of support is naturally equivalent to a slap in the face to Empress Wu, who is naturally very vigilant about this, so she summoned her henchmen overnight to discuss countermeasures.

"You have all seen it now, the current emperor can be said to be carefully cultivated for the crown prince, if this continues, I am afraid that it will not be easy for us to live peacefully in the future, hehe, don't think that it is none of your business, this matter is the most vital matter of life and death, and it is a big deal that the palace will be my queen mother at that time, but what about you? This prince is very vindictive, and I'm afraid you won't be able to run away when the time comes. ”

Empress Wu looked at the group of henchmen under her and said with a heavy face. (To be continued.) )
