Pei Judao saw that Xu Qing went to the room where Pei Zhonghui was locked up for a long time, and Pei Zhonghui didn't come out, but Pei Zhonghui's screams, scolding and cries were faintly heard, and his heart was half cold, but he was afraid that the jackal had left, and the tiger had come, and Pei Zhonghui was afraid that it would be difficult to escape.

The prince came in a hurry and left in a hurry, not bothering to say a word to Pei Judao.

Pei Judao's heart sank even further.

Xu Qing has even settled the prince, what else does Pei Zhonghui have to say! After the prince left, Xu Qing persuaded Pei Zhonghui not to be sad anymore, he sent her home, and her father was still waiting outside. Pei Zhonghui had no choice but to obey Xu Qing's arrangement.

Xu Qing was overjoyed and ordered the release of Pei Judao and several of his family members. After that, he personally escorted Pei Zhonghui home, but it was not her previous home, but her future home, the Xuancheng Princess Mansion where Xu Qing lived.

Pei Zhonghui knew that he had been abandoned by the crown prince, when the princess's dream was shattered, if he didn't grasp the amazing energy of Xu Da Ma and General Xu Da, who could compare with the crown prince, Pei Zhonghui would really become nothing. Therefore, Pei Zhonghui suppressed her sadness, restrained her anger towards Xu Qing, and did not express her opposition to Xu Qing's subordinates carrying the sedan chair and carrying her to Princess Xuancheng's mansion.

However, Pei Judao expressed his opposition one after another, but the opposition was ineffective.

After arriving at Princess Xuancheng's mansion, Xu Qing prepared a temporary resettlement room for Pei Zhonghui and her parents. After that, Xu Qing ordered to immediately build three generals in the military camp of Princess Xuancheng's Mansion, one was General Xue Rengui's Mansion, one was General Yang Sizhen's Mansion, and the other was General Pei Judao's Mansion, and General Xue Jinlian's Mansion was built in Princess Yiyang's Mansion. The scale and style of the two generals' mansions are comparable to the original generals' mansions. The size of the two generals' mansions was more than ten times that of the original Xue Mansion.

At the same time, Xu Qing ordered a new princess mansion with a construction area ten times the sum of the two princesses' mansions to be built behind the existing two princesses' mansions, called the Xuanyi Princess Mansion, to accommodate Xu Qing's expanding harem and the wives who would take over from Fan Yang in the future.

After that, Xu Qing sent two groups of people to pick up Pei Zhonghui's mother, family members, and maidservants all the way, and Yang Zhuangruo's mother, younger brother, family members, and maidservants all the way over, and properly settled them.

After that, Xu Qing led two female soldiers into the palace to see Emperor Li Zhi, and frankly admitted that in order to change the fate of the crown prince who would not live to be thirty years old, he boldly took possession of the crown princess Pei Zhonghui on behalf of Helan Minzhi, and asked the emperor to forgive him.

Li Zhi was very angry with Helan Minzhi and Xu Qing, both of them were bold, Helan Minzhi wanted to insult Wu Zetian's son in order to avenge his mother, but Wu Zetian's son was also Li Zhi's son, Li Zhi used to love Helan Minzhi's mother Mrs. Han very much, and he has always loved his nephew He Lan Minzhi, and he forgave him for his attempted crime.

Xu Qing has behaved like an astrologer so far, Li Zhi believes that he robbed the crown princess in order to change the fate of the prince, but he also believes that he is taking care of both public and private affairs, and he is interested in seeing the color. But even though Xu Qing is bad in a thousand ways, everything is wrong, and he is also the common husband of Li Zhi's two biological daughters and three nieces, and Li Zhizhi's crime in treating Xu Qing is equivalent to whipping himself.

What's more, after Mrs. Han was poisoned and killed, the crown prince Li Hong was almost abolished by Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian decided on the four things of large-scale military exercises and large-scale eastward crusade without consulting Li Zhi, Li Zhi hated Wu Zetian, and the contradiction with Wu Zetian intensified, to an irreversible extent, and now it is the time to employ people, Xu Qing is a rare talent, engaged in economy, playing politics has a set, in Fan Yang got the full support of King Yan, came to Chang'an less than two months, became the core figure of the royalist party, If Li Zhi wants to gain the upper hand in the struggle against Wu Zetian, he cannot do without Xu Qing's support.

Therefore, Xu Qing passed the pass of Li Zhi without any danger, and then Xu Qing asked Li Zhi to order the general of the Zuowu Guard, Wu Zetian's henchman Qiu Shenqian to go home and relax, and let the general of the Zuowu Guard, Yang Sizhen, replace Qiu Shenqian as the general of the Zuowu Guard. and transferred Pei Judao, the general of the Right Guard, from the Right Guard controlled by Wu Zetian's nephew Wu Sansi, and let Pei Judao go to Princess Yiyang's mansion as a general.

Xu Qing's expedition to the east was imminent, and he had to arrange reliable people in Chang'an, and master a reliable and strong enough army to compete with the Hou Party.

Li Zhi agreed with Xu Qing's opinion and issued a holy decree as Xu Qing requested.

After the last Xu Qing gold release incident, Wu Zetian severely punished the generals and generals involved in the Right Armed Guards who were coerced and lured by Xu Qing, and secretly executed all of them, and held an internal briefing meeting of the Hou Party to warn the cronies and generals that in the future, who dares to privately accept the holy decree of only stamping the emperor's seal and not stamping the emperor's jade seal kept by the Empress Wu, without asking for instructions and reporting to the Empress Wu, or being bribed by Xu Qing, will end up with only one word "death".

Xu Qing visited Qiu Shenyun, the general of the Zuowu Guard, at night and invited him to dinner, but Qiu Shenyun politely declined on the grounds that he was unwell. Xu Qing had no choice but to lead people to the military camp of the Zuowu Guards the next morning to read the holy decree and remove Qiu Shenxian from his post.

Qiu Shenyun did not accept the order, on the grounds that the holy decree was not stamped with the emperor's jade seal, and there was no dismissal order from the military department, he refused to accept the order, and reported the matter to Empress Wu after Xu Qing left.

Empress Wu rewarded Qiu Shenxun.

Xu Qing does not compete with Wu Zetian for a while, and he is not discouraged if he does not get the left Wu Weijun, at the moment Xu Qing's strength is slightly insufficient compared with Wu Zetian's strength, considering the support of the emperor, the prince and the royalists, the gap is not too big, and it may be a good thing not to force Wu Zetian too quickly, reducing Wu Zetian's pressure will reduce her conspiracy and tricks.

Xu Qing became a thorn in Wu Zetian's eyes and a thorn in his flesh, Yang Sijian and Pei Judao, as Xu Qing's father-in-law and as members of the royalist party, continued to stay in the army controlled by Wu Zetian's henchmen, not only difficult to carry out their work, but also worried about their lives.

Therefore, Xu Qing urgently transferred Yang Sizhen and Pei Judao to Princess Yiyang's Mansion as generals with the Holy Decree instead of the Military Department.

Six years ago, Li Zhi went to the draft of girls all over the country, and selected a total of more than 200 show girls, when they entered the palace, they were still 11 to 15 years old girls, and now they have grown into 17 to 21 years old slim girls, living in Chuxiu Palace, receiving court etiquette, music, dance, painting, embroidery and other training.

Li Zhi has been very strict with Wu Zetian in recent years, whether it is a concubine or a palace maid in the palace, as long as he is fortunate by Li Zhi, he will be lucky the first day, and he will be killed by Wu Zetian the next day, so Li Zhi has adopted his heart and has not set foot in Chuxiu Palace for half a step.

Li Zhi felt that his son Li Hong was too sad, and the crown princess was robbed by Xu Qing one after another, not only could he not scold, beat, and punish Xu Qing, but he also had to be grateful to Xu Qing. So Li Zhi asked his henchmen and eunuchs to go to Chuxiu Palace to select ten of the most beautiful show girls and send them to the Prince's East Palace to comfort the prince's wounded heart.

The prince felt that Xu Qing was too good to him, and after receiving the most beautiful palace maids in the East Palace, he learned that they were all the palace maids favored by the prince and returned them to the prince, and did not hesitate to compromise Yangshou to leak the heavenly opportunity, so that the scope of the prince's prevention of women was narrowed to the women who were related to him by blood, dispelling the idea that he did not dare to touch the beauties in the palace again, and went to the Qinglou to vent if he had needs, in order to repay Xu Qing's great kindness, the prince transferred all the ten most beautiful show girls in Chuxiu Palace sent by his emperor father Li Zhi to Xu Qing.

This time, Xu Qing did not return the ten show girls to the prince, and accepted them all.

After the prince gave the ten show girls to Xu Qing, he informed Li Zhi of the matter. Li Zhi didn't say much, he had nothing to say. Xu Qing said that the prince was destined to live no more than thirty years old, which was what Li Zhi was most worried about as a father and as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Xu Qing also said that the prince would be poisoned to death by the women around him who were related to him, and asked him to pay attention to food safety and be vigilant, which was Li Zhi's concern.

Xu Qing did not explicitly say that the woman who was going to kill the prince was the prince's biological mother Wu Zetian, Li Hong couldn't believe that there would be such a vicious mother in the world, and he didn't think about it, but Li Zhi knew the causes and consequences of Wu Zetian's persecution of Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, after the relationship with Wu Zetian broke down, Li Zhi secretly investigated the truth of the murder of Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, and got a preliminary investigation result, Wu Zetian in order to frame Queen Wang, when the eldest daughter was born only a few months ago, Queen Wang hugged the little princess and just left, Wu Zetian covered the mouth and nose of the eldest daughter with his hand, covered the eldest daughter to death, and then framed the queen that she hated her and killed her daughter to vent her anger.

At that time, Li Zhi was in love with Wu Zetian, he believed everything Wu Zetian said, and in the absence of eyewitnesses, he believed Wu Zetian's speculation, abolished the queen, and renamed Wu Zetian as the queen. Later, Wu Zetian successively found excuses to put Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei in the cold palace, and then Wu Zetian was not at ease with them, worried that Li Zhi would change his mind about them and love them again, Wu Zetian instructed someone to poison Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu.

The people who learned that Wu Zetian killed his eldest daughter and blamed Empress Wang for the inside story, and those who poisoned Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu on the order of Wu Zetian were secretly executed by Wu Zetian. Li Zhi couldn't find strong witnesses and evidence to prove that Wu Zetian killed his eldest daughter who was born not long ago, blamed Empress Wang, and instructed people to poison Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, but if Wu Zetian hadn't done this kind of thing that people and gods were angry about, how could several young palace maids in her palace die of illness one after another at a young age? And the doctors can't even diagnose what the disease is!

At that time, the criminal suspect who poisoned Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei on the order of Wu Zetian, how could Li Shanggong resign from the Shanggong Palace on the grounds of poor health when he was still more than 20 years away from the retirement age (Note: There are many female officials in the palace who are in charge of people and things, and they are specifically responsible for part of the affairs, corresponding to the six departments of Shangshu Province, but they are just a miniature version, and they are married women recruited from the people who have both talent and virtue and dignified appearance, and do not pursue very beautiful, as long as they are upright and talented, the emperor generally does not fight these Shanggong ideas)? Because she rarely asks for leave, and the imperial doctor rarely prescribes medicine to her, she has always been in good health. She died shortly after returning to her hometown in the countryside.

This is very suspicious. Further investigation requires the opening of the coffin for an autopsy, the interrogation of the entire Yeting Palace, and the interrogation of all the palace maids who took care of the little princess by her side when Wu Zetian was the eldest daughter, but Li Zhi didn't want to make a big move, and he didn't want to make a lot of trouble with Wu Zetian in the case of insufficient evidence, and he didn't want to make the contradiction with Wu Zetian irreconcilable, either you die or I die.

When the secret investigation was more and more shocking to Li Zhi, Li Zhi was afraid of alarming Wu Zetian and stopped the investigation in time.

Therefore, Li Zhi believed every word Xu Qing said, and he thought that Wu Zetian would really poison Li Hong in order to replace the disobedient crown prince Li Hong and prevent Li Hong from taking back her imperial privileges after Li Hong ascended the throne and became emperor in the future.

Therefore, Li Zhi has a very tolerant attitude towards some of Xu Qing's excessive behavior.
