Chapter 287: The Decisive Battle
Li Dan went to see Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian was groggy and coughed all night, but when he got up, he felt that his mouth was dry, and he just wanted to drink tea.
A eunuch stepped in: "Longmen Wei Niangniang asks to see." ”
Li Dan just stood aside and remained silent.
Wu Zetian shook his head and said, "Let them not have to come in the future." After a moment of silence, he added, "I'm not dead yet."
The eunuch was busy.
Li Dan looked at the back of the eunuch and said, "The mother emperor's words are serious, and Wei is also worried about the mother emperor's body, why should he refuse people thousands of miles away." ”
Wu Zetian calmly ate tea: "This woman is not simple. ”
After that, he didn't seem to be interested in this matter anymore, and the conversation changed: "Ling Yuexia is married, and it will be in the middle of the month, right?" ”
"Yes, seven days to go." Li Dan replied with a smile, Wu Zetian talks about this matter every day, it can be seen that in this regard, the matter of marrying is very important in Wu Zetian's heart, of course Li Dan does not dare to slack off, this marriage has become the most important thing for him.
Wu Zetian sighed: "Back then, I married her to the Xue family, and it was a last resort, the Xue family's child was indeed not a good thing, but at that time, I was in order to use the strength of the Xue family, the Xue family is a family of military merits after all, and there is too much prestige in the army, this time...... Hopefully it won't be wrong again. She frowned: "If I can fulfill this wish, I should also retreat bravely." ”
The four words of rapid retreat bravely touched Li Dan's heart, and he thought to himself, what is the rapid retreat that his mother said? Is it simply abdicating and giving up the throne to himself?
Thinking of this, he was a little incredulous, but he couldn't hide his excitement.
But he heard Wu Zetian say: "Dan'er, what about Qin Shaoyou?" ”
"Ah......" Li Dan didn't know why his mother asked. Busy is to come back to his senses, he thought for a while: "This person is talented, very human, both inside and outside the court, there are praises." ”
Wu Zetian shook his head: "I didn't ask about his official voice. ”
This is to ask Li Dan what he thinks of Qin Shaoyou.
Li Dan knew that his mother would marry Yuexia, which was already an absolute recognition of Qin Shaoyou, so he said with a smile: "He has always had some ......mustard for his sons" This is the truth, Li Dan knows that his mother is a person who is like a candle, so he hides this. It is obviously extremely unwise, which will only give the suspicious mother an impression of her hypocrisy, and then Li Dan said: "But this person does have a lot of talent, and the court can't leave him." ”
Wu Zetian smiled, as if he was very satisfied with this answer.
Li Dan did not emotionally exaggerate his love for Qin Shaoyou, but stood on the balance of interests, indicating the importance of this person. This does not deceive his mother, but also relieves her mother's worries about herself.
Wu Zetian sighed and said casually: "It seems that you don't like him." ”
Li Dan smiled: "Doesn't the mother emperor also dislike Cui Jing?" ”
This sentence is a bit bold.
But it's also true. Wu Zetian doesn't like Cui Jing, he thinks that this person is too old, and there is nothing wrong with being old, but Wu Zetian knows it well. On the surface, although it is the insistence of Di Renjie and others to establish the Li family, people with a discerning eye know that this is inseparable from Cui Jing standing behind Di Renjie and others. It's like playing chess, Wu Zetian and Cui Jing are chess players, Li Xian, Di Renjie, Wu Sansi and others. In fact, they are all chess pieces.
Li Dan means that His Majesty doesn't like Cui Jing, but Cui Jing is still the prime minister, and most of the children in his clan also occupy important places, and even his clan brother Cui Yu has just been promoted to a Zhongshu Shilang and Tongping Zhangshi. Zhongshu Shilang is the same status as Di Renjie, and he is already regarded as the deputy prime minister. Not only that, but there is another Cui Xuanwei of the same clan of the Cui family, who has now become a heavenly official. The so-called heavenly officials, that is, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Officials and the Servants of the Ministry of Officials, is an extremely important position, although the status is below the three provinces, but its importance, obviously not low, in the future will also be the three provinces, the people who will assist the world.
The three people of the Cui family may not all be close branches, but within the Cui family, they have always been the same qi and branches, and now this Cui family has formed a horn trend, two are the chief and deputy prime ministers, handling the government affairs of the world, one is the official of the Ministry of Officials, promoting officials, plus I don't know how many children serve as housekeepers and outsiders, and I don't know how many thorn histories and county orders serve as wings, such a grace is really out of sight.
What Li Dan wants to say is that His Majesty doesn't like the Cui family, and even has always disliked Guanlong's gate valve, but so what, they are still extremely human ministers, this is because His Majesty needs them.
It's the same with himself, he may not like Qin Shaoyou, but he needs Qin Shaoyou, and his feelings can't maintain the relationship between the monarch and the minister, only interests.
This set of theories is suitable for the Sui and Tang dynasties, but it has become a great rebellion in the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations.
At least...... Wu Zetian couldn't help but bow his head when he heard this, so he didn't ask any more.
She closed her eyes: "These days, take care of you, you, you are more filial than Xian'er, although he has a heart of benevolence and filial piety, but hidden in his heart, I can't see it, and you don't untie your clothes every day, you have fulfilled the loyalty and filial piety of the ministers and sons of man, your face is not good, let's rest these days, and when Ling Yue gets married, there are still your brothers who are busy." ”
She glanced at Li Dan deeply: "Big things, press it first, and wait for Ling Yue to get married." ”
This sentence is obviously a hint.
Li Dan's heart moved, but he didn't dare to show any joy.
The mother's meaning should be that when the dust settles on the matter of getting married, it is time to solve the problem of her status, Di Renjie has already taken it, and he is still in prison, and then he should be angry.
Thinking of this, Li Dan pretended not to understand, but said obediently: "The son of the minister retired." ”

At this time, Li Dan did not bother with the affairs of the guards, but turned back to Changle Palace.
He was so tired, he didn't know how much hard work he had put in these days, but now, he was finally satisfied, because all his hard work would be rewarded.
But after he entered the palace, there was a eunuch outside to probe his brain, Li Dan recognized him, this eunuch is an internal servant bureau, called Wang Zheng, the name is very magnificent, but the messenger is a little bit not very high-grade, he is in charge of candles, specifically responsible for the lighting of Changle Palace, but Li Dan has just arrived, he is cautious everywhere, but he has made a lot of money on this person, and gradually this Wang Zheng was bought by him.
Li Dan entered the hall tiredly, and when he saw that he was still outside and refused to leave, he said in a loud voice: "Come in." ”
Wang Zheng crept in, smiled and said, "Your Highness, the slave ......."
Li Dan waved his hand and said kindly: "What do you have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say, it's not you on duty now, why are you here?" ”
Wang Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "There is something important to tell you. ”
Li Dan looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he said: "Big deal, what big deal can you have?" There was a smile in his mouth, but he didn't dare to slack off in his heart.
Wang Zhengzheng said: "The servant heard a news, this news was only passed on in private, it was said by the people of the Inner Palace Bureau after drinking, the servant felt that the matter was very important, and after thinking about it, he should let His Highness know in case of emergency." ”
Li Dan frowned, the Inner Palace Bureau, the Inner Palace Bureau is a different kind of eunuch institution, as the name suggests, it is in charge of the Inner Palace, but the problem is that there are a lot of things in the Inner Palace, so they take care of everything, but they don't care about anything.
"You say."
Wang Zhengdao: "The key of the Inner Palace Bureau is called Chen Huazi, a few days ago when he was drinking, he secretly said that someone came to look for him, and the person who was looking for him came from the right Taurus Guard." ”
Li Dan's brows furrowed even deeper, the right Taurus Guard is one of the twenty guards of the forbidden army, and it has always been Wenxuanmen who has always guarded Wenxuanmen, and Wenxuanmen is not a particularly important place, so the status of this right Taurus guard in the Praetorian Guard is naturally worse, of course, the general of this Taurus Guard is called Wu Chongxun, this person was the general of the general of the unity battalion before, and later the unity battalion was abolished, and he was transferred to the Taurus Guard, so this Taurus Wei was controlled by the samurai.
The people of the martial arts family found the eunuch who was in charge of the key to the inner palace.
Li Dan squinted: "What did that person say when he looked for him?" ”
"Specifically, the slave doesn't know, but I know that the man made a lot of money, so that Chen Huazi has been very generous recently, that is, he is fighting with people, and the gambling is also very large, ordinary hundreds of dollars, he can't look down on it, sometimes he gets drunk, and he also revealed that when the princess gets married, there must be a good show to watch, and it is not clear who is in charge in the world."
Li Dan was suddenly alert.
Obviously, he smelled a hint of danger, and the martial artist ...... Palm Key...... Taurus Guard ...... Marriage......
Could it be ...... Someone is going to jump off the wall in a hurry.
Li Dan was silent, but he groaned for a long time, he suddenly laughed, and said: "It's good, in fact, this king is afraid that they won't come, mayflies shake the tree, and the praying mantis blocks the car, which is self-defeating." ”
He was full of energy, and he didn't have the slightest fear in his heart, but said: "Wang Zheng, the one surnamed Chen, you try your best to get in touch with it, and talk more, as for the rest, leave it to this king, and wait until the future, you will have your own benefits." This king does not promise easily, but if he has promised you, he will not fail you. ”
