Jiang Jiao's face was pale, and sweat was dripping.

"What you are doing now is no different from gambling? The difference is that the person in the story is gambling on money, while you are gambling on life. ”

Jiang Jiao pounced on his knees when he heard this: "Jiang Jiao knows that he is wrong, please teach me Li Xiaolangjun." ”

"Do you know what Your Majesty wants to do most right now?" Li Tao asked.

"Let Yao Chong return to the court!"

"You're smart!" Li Tao said lightly: "You first atone for your sins, try to achieve Your Majesty's wishes, and obtain Your Majesty's forgiveness for your betrayal." After this is done, if you can make up your mind, you can resign and return to your hometown. If you are reluctant to hold an official position, be a dumb person who doesn't care about anything, and enjoy your glory and wealth. If you continue to swagger like you do now, you will surely die. ”

"Jiang Jiao thanked Li Xiaolangjun for his guidance, but how can I convince those people?"

Li Tao shook his head and said, "I can't help you anymore, you have to figure out your own way, which is more important, you weigh it yourself......"

……

After sending Jiang Jiao away, Zhang Wei was ushered in.

Speaking to Zhang Wei, Li Tao was much more direct: "Jiang Jiao, I have already made sense there, you fully cooperate with him, no matter what, you must persuade Liu Youqiu and Zhong Shaojing, so that they can fully support Your Majesty in summoning Yao Chong into the court." ”

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "I'll do my best." ”

Li Tao said solemnly: "It's not about trying your best, it's about having to do it." ”

Zhang Wei rarely saw Li Tao talk to himself so seriously, and knowing that the stakes were high, he did not hesitate to say: "I will definitely facilitate this matter." ”

Li Tao added: "Don't mention me first, if the two of them really don't let go." You just say I meant it. Both of them were introduced to His Majesty by me, and I guess they will not refute my face. ”

"I see!"

……

When Li Tao was operating in full swing and secretly, Li Longji was not idle. Li Tao said that Wei Zhigu must be persuaded to be fully sure of this matter. Compared with Zhang Shuo, Wei Zhigu is much easier to deal with.

Li Longji specially invited this old minister of the Four Dynasties, and at the banquet, Li Longji counted in detail the merits of Wei Zhigu in Emperor Zetian, Emperor Zhongzong, Emperor Ruizong, and now Emperor Ruizong, and praised his conscientiousness and loyalty. This trick really worked, and Wei Zhigu was moved to tears. Li Longji took the opportunity to put down the shelf and pleaded with Wei Zhigu. Ask him to help Yao Chong enter the court. Seeing that the emperor trusted him so much, Wei Zhigu patted his chest without hesitation.

After getting rid of Wei Zhigu, Li Longji breathed a sigh of relief. The rest depends on the outcome of the prime ministers' deliberations.

……

Zhao Langzhen was wandering the street at the moment, and every time he saw an antique shop, he had to go in and have a look, for several days. There is no gain. It has been three days since Zhao Langzhen arrived in Chang'an. He received a letter from Li Tao on a fast horse, so he hurried to Chang'an. But when he arrived in Chang'an, Li Tao never saw him, Li Tao just sent Pei Yue to tell him, so that he could be calm and wait for the news. In desperation, he had no choice but to walk around Chang'an City.

That afternoon, Zhao Langzhen entered an antique shop called Cheng Bao Zhai. His gaze wandered through the shelves. When a broken jade cup came into view, his neck suddenly lengthened.

Zhao Langzhen suppressed his excitement. Slowly walked up to the jade cup and leaned over to take a closer look. This jade cup was a little broken, as if it had been split in half from top to bottom by some sharp weapon, so strictly speaking, Zhao Langzhen only saw half of the jade cup. What made him even more excited was that this half of the jade cup was engraved with four words: "Conquer everything".

After searching for so many years, I finally found it today, and I must uncover the secret hidden in the jade cup......

Zhao Lang's thoughts fluctuated in his heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. It took him a moment before he realized that he shouldn't show his feelings. If the shopkeeper had seen what he was thinking, he would have deliberately increased the price.

As expected, when he asked the price, the shopkeeper Lion opened his mouth: "A thousand times." ”

Although he was mentally prepared, Zhao Langzhen was still shocked: "It's just such a broken cup, why are you selling it so expensive?" ”

"I said a thousand, it's still cheaper for you. Since you are too expensive, I regret it now, and the price has doubled, two thousand. The boss seemed to have calculated that he would buy it, and in the blink of an eyelid rose a thousand times.

Zhao Langzhen was remorseful, didn't dare to argue anymore, gritted his teeth and said, "Two thousand guan, I bought it." ”

After buying this half of the jade cup, Zhao Langzhen returned to the guest room. In the dead of night, he quietly got up from the bed and tiptoed to take out the package he had with him. He carefully opened the package, and inside was half a jade cup with the words "invincible" engraved on it. Zhao Langzhen took out the half of the jade cup he bought from his arms, and put the two halves together to form a perfect whole. Looking at the jade cup glowing with a crystal cold light under the moon, Zhao Lang couldn't help but think of his father's instructions many years ago.

Zhao Langzhen's great-grandfather, Zhao Zhi, was a general under Emperor Taizong, and he made great achievements because of his bravery. Zhao Zhi has a friend named Qiu Bochuan, who is also a general. After Zhao Zhi achieved a major victory, Qiu Bochuan gave him a beautiful white jade wine glass, which was engraved with the words "invincible and invincible". Zhao Zhi liked this gift very much, and he brought the jade cup with him every time he went out. Later, when the war was temporarily lost, Zhao Zhi drank alone in the tent, thinking hard about the strategy of defeating the enemy. Suddenly, he spotted a small red snake quietly crawling towards the jade cup. In desperation, he waved his hand to drive away the little snake, but was bitten by the snake on the hand. Zhao Zhi was greatly annoyed, drew his sword, and cut the little snake into several pieces.

After hacking the little snake to death, Zhao Zhi felt dizzy, thinking that he had drunk too much wine, leaned on the table and fell asleep, and never woke up from this sleep. Lang Zhong, who was with the army, examined his body and found that he had been poisoned. The small red snake, commonly known as the "first-line red", is a rare poisonous snake, after humans and animals are bitten by it, they quickly coma to death, and it is generally too late to rescue.

After Zhao Zhi's death, his son, Zhao Langzhen's grandfather, Zhao Wenxin, planned to use the jade cup as his father's funeral object.

Lang Zhong, who had examined Zhao Zhi's body, quietly told him: "Your father's death may be related to the jade cup, but I don't know what it has to do with it." ”

In this way, Zhao Wenxin left the jade cup and invited many strangers to check it carefully, but he never found a problem. One night, he was alone in his study with a jade cup, flipping through it. Suddenly, a masked man floated from the ridge of the roof and swung his sword at the jade cup, cutting it in half. Zhao Wenxin was shocked and angry, drew his sword and fought with the masked man. After a fierce fight, the masked man was injured and left, and snatched half of the jade cup. Zhao Wenxin was seriously injured and was unable to catch up. (To be continued......)
