In key matters, Wu Bencao never skimped, took out ten yuan stones, and put them in front of the guide, "You just have to say it, whether the news is true or not, I will judge it myself." ”

The guide smiled and said, "How embarrassing is this......"

Then, he put the money in his sleeve.

"I heard from a friend that the reason for the construction of the new school palace was actually the result of the party struggle between the DPRK and China, but this time the game is far more intense than before. His Majesty agreed to build a palace of learning, and tried to exhaust the bitter advice of a group of old ministers, and it is said that on that day, the court was tense!"

Although his voice was low, his eyes flashed brightly, and he looked excited, discussing this secret in private can inexplicably produce a sense of excitement, just like cheating on his daughter-in-law behind his back.

Wu Bencao's expression was focused, pondering the meaning of his words, and asked: "What's going on with the party struggle? I won't tell you anything, I live in the southwestern border all the year round, and I don't know much about the situation in the Central Plains. ”

The guide got up, closed the door of the private room, sat down and said: "The affairs of the emperor's family are not complicated, they are nothing more than a struggle for power and profit. The party struggle I mentioned, to put it bluntly, is what should we have in the future of Datang. ”

When Wang Xiang heard this, his face changed suddenly, "You mean the dispute between the princes?"

He spends his days in his gambling house, chatting with customers, and has heard some information about other places. As soon as the guide said "what's the last name", he completely understood what was going on.

The guide nodded vigorously, "Yes, Your Majesty is getting old, and it is more and more necessary to clarify the ownership of the East Palace. Not only the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but even the people of us in the market are very curious, whether she is willing to return the throne to the Li family......

Lao Bai was a visitor from a foreign land, and he was confused, "Return the throne to the Li family?"

Seeing this, the guide was surprised and said, "Isn't your guest a Tang person? Why don't you even know this?"

Wu Bencao glanced at Lao Bai deeply and explained: "Your Majesty of the Tang Dynasty today is the queen of the first emperor, and her surname is not Li, but Wu. ”

Lao Bai was stunned at first, then thought of something, and his expression became exciting.

"Ah, I see! No wonder that ......"

He turned his head to look out the window, and was about to speak, when Wu Bencao immediately interrupted, "It's good that you understand." This pool of water is getting more and more muddy, since we promised to keep it secret for him, then don't get involved. ”

The empress in the city is surnamed Wu, and Wu Jingsi outside the city is also surnamed Wu.

The truth speaks for itself.

Now it was the guide's turn to be confused, "What are you talking about?"

"It's okay," Wu Bencao changed the topic back and said, "You mean, this new school palace is related to whether His Majesty is still located in Li Tang?"

The guide had a solemn expression, "That's right. Gongzi didn't know that countless old ministers in the court were under the shadow of Li Tang's grace, and they were grateful for loyalty and righteousness, and they all wanted to support King Li Xian to succeed him. In this group of people, there are not only respected Confucians, but also famous generals with outstanding merits......"

Wu Bencao was inspired and analyzed: "Heaven and earth are the princes of the teacher, Confucianism most respects loyalty and filial piety, and Taixue, as the highest institution of learning, will inevitably be mastered by Li Xian's faction. As for the Wu'an Division, many generals had followed the first emperor to fight, and their position was also very clear. ”

The guide stretched out his thumb and praised: "When Gongzi first arrived in the capital, he was able to infer the current distribution of power through a few words, which is really clever! That's right, I heard that in Taixue and Wu'an Division, there are many people who are the henchmen of the British King. ”

Those veterans and celebrities are all relying on the clan gate lords behind them, and they have a strong foundation, even if the empress Wu Zhaoyi has a killing intent, she has no power, so she can only let them hold together and entrench themselves in the government and the opposition.

The guide continued: "Of course, the martial arts family is in full swing in the capital, and it goes without saying that it is powerful. They were afraid that after returning to power, Li Tang would be purged and would also compete for the throne. This time the new school palace should be fanning the flames......"

Through the Xinxue Palace, the samurai family can legitimately build up a large number of wings to compete with the Li family's pun party, so that their power can be further consolidated and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Therefore, the intention of building a new school palace is actually to shake the foundation of Li Tang.

Wang Xiang followed their train of thought and said: "Taixue and Wu'ansi must have seen that this move is far-reaching and will affect the country, so they reacted fiercely, arguing fiercely in the court, and even did not hesitate to go against the dragon scales. ”

"That's right, the future of Datang belongs to young people, and whoever takes young people under his command and wins recognition is equivalent to winning the future of Datang. The British king's faction is aware of the crisis, but unfortunately, His Majesty is resolute and still agrees to the decree!"

Wang Xiang thought for a moment and cautiously probed: "You say, since Your Majesty has agreed to build a school palace, is this a hint that she plans to pass on the throne to the nephews of the martial family, so that the royal family surnamed Li will die?"

At that time, the court debated fiercely, although it was fighting for the palace, in fact, it was the epitome of the court situation in recent years. As long as the empress does not establish a prince for a day, similar battles will not stop.

On the other hand, when she begins to lean towards one of them, it proves that she has a conclusion in her heart, and the surname of Datang is Li or Wu, and she is about to solve the mystery. Now, the signs are becoming more and more apparent.

The guide shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You're thinking too simply. Your Majesty is so wise, of course, she knows the weight of this holy decree, so she personally took up the pen and wrote a plaque for the New School Palace. ”

If the answer is revealed rashly, no matter which party gets the inheritance, the other party is very likely to jump over the wall and resist in the most violent way. The simplest way to put it is to rebel.

How could someone who can be an empress not even think of this?

Wu Bencao was aroused and said: "I'm curious, what is the name of Your Majesty, which can bring the situation back to the original point and maintain this suspense again." ”

The guide didn't speak, dipped his finger in the drink, and wrote two words on the table.

Chaotian.

The new school palace is called Chaotian Palace.

Everyone was stunned and couldn't immediately understand the mystery.

Xiao Ai's mouth was stuffed with chicken, and he said vaguely: "What do you mean by Chaotian?"

The guide collected money to do things, and did not dare to sell Guanzi, and replied: "Chang'an City is full of talents, and someone will soon interpret His Majesty's intentions. There is a saying that the avenue is facing the sky, each going to one side, and the door of this school palace is facing the sky, not facing any family. ”

In other words, you go yours, I go mine, and no one should interfere with anyone.

If you think about it at a deeper level, it is equivalent to the empress saying that who she will pass the throne to is her own power, whether it is clan affection or loyalty and morality, she cannot be kidnapped.

She is who she is, on her own, not with the world.

This is the will of the emperor.

When Wang Xiang heard this, he sighed and couldn't help but complain: "Yes, after talking for a long time, she still didn't say anything, and continued to hang the appetite of the world to guess her thoughts." ”

Lao Bai didn't think so, seemed to guess the answer, turned his head to look out the window again, and sighed: "What a stubborn and arrogant little girl......"
