Shangguan Chen was confused, he looked at Qin Shaoyou, who seemed to be smiling, and his face was stunned.

Qin Shaoyou smiled and said: "There are a lot of you who are dead in the net, what you just thought was just a desperate move, Shangguan Chen, you haven't seen your sister for a long time, why don't you go to the palace with me, and meet Shangguan to wait for the edict?" ”

Hearing that he wanted to see Shangguan Wan'er, Shangguan Chen's heart was relieved, he didn't know what medicine Qin Shaoyou sold in the gourd, this is actually interlaced like a mountain, his duty, of course, is the collection of news, when it comes to this, no one in the world is unsurpassed, especially in these years, the wealth is abundant, resulting in him already has a special method of collecting news, and continuous improvement in the past experience, it is becoming more and more out of control, if it involves his own affairs, his experience and truth can be said to be endless, and Qin Shaoyou do, But on the basis of these news, and then based on the actual situation, the decision is made.

Any decision, obviously, is a dilemma for many people, because when you do anything, it is impossible to take into account everyone, so the so-called decision is nothing more than choosing the most advantageous one among all the options.

Shangguan Chen simply didn't think about it anymore and accepted it.

The Luoyang Palace has been as calm as ever recently, but Qin Shaoyou is like a stone, but it will break all this peace.

Qin Shaoyou's purpose was naturally not Shangguan Wan'er, but Wu Zetian.

When he arrived at Ziwei Palace, he parted ways with Shangguan Chen, and Shangguan Chen went to find Wan'er outside the palace.

Entering Ziwei Palace, the monarch and the ministers met, Wu Zetian's expression did not notice anything unusual, but many news from Luoyang and Chang'an have always been hidden from her, and in the early days, there were rumors that her son. It seems to be poisoned by Na Webster.

As soon as the news came out, Wu Zetian didn't ask Qin Shaoyou, because he knew very well who released these news, but at first she also scoffed at the news, and the current situation, to a certain extent, the existence of himself and Qin Shaoyou in Luoyang is equivalent to Li Xian's talisman. As long as the Shence Mansion did not cross, it would be impossible for Wei to kick Li Xian away and do his own thing willfully.

But when Qin Shaoyou rashly entered the palace, and there were new rumors that were currently spreading, Wu Zetian just sighed faintly and said, "What, then Wei, is it really so bold?" ”

Qin Shaoyou hurriedly said: "These news were originally noticed by Zhu Lou. It's just that the matter is too appalling, and the minister can't confirm the truth of the news, so he doesn't dare to play it rashly, so as not to provoke a joke. And now. This news has confirmed that the Son of Heaven has encountered an accident and is now seriously ill and does not wake up. ”

Wu Zetian let out a long breath.

She is certainly a ruthless person, but the eldest son and the third son are completely 'gone'. He left behind the only remaining second son, this son, who was cowardly and incompetent. The reason why he was finally chosen to inherit himself was precisely because of his incompetence.

But after all, the closest relatives are the closest relatives of the flesh and blood, and she immediately smiled coldly: "Webster wants to kill him?" I still don't believe it, why is this? ”

Qin Shaoyou was slightly stunned, Wu Zetian is a calculating person, it stands to reason that Wei Shi has come to this point, he should be able to roughly guess her motives, and he suddenly found that the current Wu Zetian ...... There is something 'stupid'.

Or...... Something interferes with the emperor's judgment, a rational person will never be easily interfered with his judgment, and there is only one possibility for people to be disturbed - care is chaos.

Will the emperor care about the Son of Heaven in Chang'an?

Yes.

Qin Shaoyou actually noticed a very ridiculous thing, the Son of Heaven ...... It is the emperor's closest relatives and the emperor's flesh and blood.

Qin Shaoyou has always had a blind spot, because Wu Zetian's ruthlessness made him forget that the two sides of the conflict between Luoyang and Chang'an turned out to be close relatives, and now they are ...... He suddenly noticed, but all that was left was a wry smile.

Qin Shaoyou said: "Your Majesty, Wei Shi is not trying to harm the Son of Heaven, but to harm His Majesty and his ministers, and Wei Shi wants a dying Son of Heaven." ”

After a few words, Wu Zetian woke up, Wu Zetian was stunned, and then said in astonishment: "Yes, what does he want to do?" By the way, I see, why hasn't the decree arrived yet? ”

Qin Shaoyou pursed his lips and smiled, "Your Majesty, originally...... In Merriam-Webster's plan, the decree should have arrived at this time, but it was ...... The minister was aware of it in advance, so he released the rumors, and now the rumors corroborate each other with what is happening now, now what Wei is facing is that people are panicking, countless rumors come out, the Wei family is now also anxious, now His Majesty is unconscious, can not see the ministers, at this time she released any holy decree, in the eyes of the world, is not the edict of the Son of Heaven, so at this time to issue the edict, it will only be counterproductive, she wants to win the trust of the world, the only way is to wait for the Son of Heaven to wake up, convene the ministers, An edict was issued. ”

Wu Zetian frowned, and suddenly understood.

The Wei family's plan, it seems that at the beginning, there was nothing wrong or missing, and because of the rumors released by Qin Shaoyou, there was a huge omission in this plan, and under the situation that everyone doubted, Wei's only choice was to move out of this Tianzi.

Qin Shaoyou said: "Your Majesty, don't wait for me, it won't be long before the Son of Heaven will wake up, and once he wakes up and recovers some of his complexion, Empress Wei will definitely make arrangements, once the edict is released, such an edict will not be able to be rejected by any courtier." If Your Majesty is in good health and summons me to Chang'an, the minister can still find some reasons to get away with it. But ......"

Wu Zetian smiled coldly and said, "Once you move, then...... Must be dead without a place to be buried, Qin Shaoyou, I can't imagine that you are also afraid. ”

Wu Zetian's joke made Qin Shaoyou laugh, Qin Shaoyou said: "No, the minister is actually not afraid of taking risks at all, if it weren't for the adventure, the minister would never be today." It's just that...... What the minister is afraid of is that there is no point in sending him to death, the Wei family...... If you want the ministers to die, how can the ministers let them get their wishes, let alone send them to the door. ”

Wu Zetian pursed his lips and did not refute, but said, "How many days are left?" ”

Qin Shaoyou said: "At most, ten days, within ten days, Your Majesty will wake up, when this medicine has just attacked, it looks really harmful, but as long as the medicine is right." If you take care of it, you can recover. ”

10 days...... In other words, within ten days, if Qin Shaoyou didn't have any way to deal with it before Li Xian woke up, then ...... Once the edict is issued, there is no possibility of refusal.

Wu Zetian frowned, and finally said, "It seems that you have already figured out how to do it, right?" ”

"Minister...... I have already thought about it, so I can only turn to His Majesty the Emperor for help, and His Majesty and His Majesty. Now it is a matter of sharing honor and disgrace, and may Your Majesty help the ministers. ”

Wu Zetian glanced at Qin Shaoyou deeply, she finally regained her previous shrewdness, and seemed to have anticipated what Qin Shaoyou wanted to do.

Wei Xuanzhen almost hurried to Hangu Pass.

This pass is majestic and magnificent, because in the valley, it is the only way between Luoyang and Chang'an, not only can hide troops, but also isolate the eastern part of the country from the Guannei with this magnificent high wall.

Such topography. It can be said that it is impregnable, not to mention that this Xiongguan that has stood for thousands of years, because all dynasties have played an extremely important role, so the wall has been repeatedly strengthened and repaired. Far from being comparable to the ordinary city walls.

The thickness of the wall is already several zhang, several times that of the ordinary city wall, and it is Qin Shaoyou who sacrificed his artillery. Let them bomb indiscriminately, and they will not want to take advantage of anything.

Moreover, facing the narrow direction of Luoyang, a large number of siege army horses could not be placed. The defenders were able to cope with it with ease.

Since ancient times, if you use the ordinary siege method to break through the pass, there are almost few pitiful, so it ...... Merriam-Webster also attached great importance to this place, and since moving the capital, he has continuously strengthened and rested the facilities here, and at the same time increased the number of defenders.

When Wei Xuanzhen arrived here, his son-in-law Zhang Jin, who is now the guard of Hangu Pass, had already led a cadre of generals to greet him at the mouth of the valley.

Zhang Jin's face is obviously not good-looking, but in fact, if he is Wei Xuanzhen, he is afraid that it will not be much better.

Originally, he, the son-in-law of the Wei family, was holding on to the pass here, which was a matter of course, but at this time, Wei Xuanzhen came to visit, obviously because the Wei family had some doubts about him.

It's an eventful time now, Zhang Jin is not a fool, the people who come and go here are people from Kanto and Guannei, the news is the most well-informed, whether it is every move in Henan or Chang'an, he is clear, this juncture, Empress Wei sent a supervisor to himself, isn't the meaning obvious enough?

Zhang Jin just buried these in his heart, he took Wei Xuanzhen to visit the defense affairs of various places with great interest, and then held a banquet in the Daguan Building in Hangu Pass to entertain the prime minister and the old man.

After the guests and hosts were happy, the generals dispersed in a hurry, and in this cold banquet, Wei Xuanzhen and Zhang Jin were left alone.

Wei Xuanzhen glanced at Zhang Jin, Zhang Jin was already slightly drunk, and the things in his heart were still a little unconcealable after all, Wei Xuanzhen sighed, and then said: "You are the son-in-law of the old man, today you and I meet each other, I will give you a thorough understanding." ”

He didn't beat around the bush, it was because he could compare his heart to his heart and guess a little of Zhang Jin's thoughts: "What is happening now, you must also know it, that Henan ...... Now you can't relax at all, it won't be long before Niangniang will ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to summon Qin Shaoyou to Chang'an, if Qin Shaoyou refuses to go, then he is a traitor, and once he wants to rebel, then ......... Hangu Pass became his top priority, and he ...... It's just a prince, once he rebels, time is not in his favor, his only way is to break through Hangu Pass and take Chang'an in one fell swoop, but once trapped in Kanto, and in the name of traitors, then there is no need for all kinds of armies to crusade, they are afraid that they will fall apart in Henan. ”

"He came to Chang'an is death, if he doesn't come to Chang'an, if he can't break this Hangu Pass, he will also die, Niangniang has decided not to keep this person anymore, he has to be put to death, so ...... Niangniang didn't dare to relax in the slightest about this letter Guguan, and asked the old man to come here this time, in order to help you in case of accidents, are you unwilling in your heart, do you think...... Is the mother doing this because she doesn't trust you? ”

Zhang Jin didn't say anything, just bowed his head and said nothing.

There are some things he doesn't dare to say, of course, it's better to choose silence.

Wei Xuanzhen brushed his beard and smiled: "If I don't trust you, how can I let you come to guard the pass and control so many military horses, it's just ...... What happens in the next month will be the top priority, the relationship is particularly important, one is not good, it may make the Wei family irreversible, Niangniang is a cautious person, so let the old man come, in fact...... You don't have to worry, as long as Qin Shaoyou is dead, you and I will be a great achievement. You are in the pass, send out more outposts, and you must keep an eye on everything in the Kanto region, and there must be no negligence, for now...... It's not when you and I are angry, the most important thing is to stay here for the court. ”

This explanation is actually a bit far-fetched, and to put it mildly, it is nothing more than distrust.

However, since Wei Xuanzhen is willing to say so much, to a certain extent, she also values this son-in-law.

Zhang Jin knew in his heart that in fact, trust or distrust was just out of family affection, from the perspective of interests, it was natural for Niangniang to suspect anyone, not to mention, his father-in-law was right, he was closely related to the Wei family, and the most important thing was to guard this place for the Wei family, so that this place was solid, because ...... He has long been tied to the Wei family, and if the Wei family encounters any catastrophe, he Zhang Jin will also go to the funeral.

"Taishan rest assured, how can the son-in-law not know the relationship between this, especially these days, the guard has been strengthened in the passes, and the outposts are all over the Hangu and outside, and there may be negligence, but the son-in-law will try his best to make up for it, and there will never be any fatal mistakes. Besides, there are 100,000 elite soldiers in this Han Valley, and I am already admiring the Shence Army, and my son-in-law also knows some of their methods, but my son-in-law dares to make bold statements, as long as Qin Shaoyou really wants to break through the level with his head, the son-in-law will let him die without a place to be buried. ”
