The people in the Taoist temple all showed angry expressions on their faces, some were standing, and some were sitting and standing up. The "woman" on the shelf was terrifying, perhaps not a complete person, because the man's arms and legs were missing, and only a head and torso lay motionless. And they are naked, naked, and such people can no longer put on clothes, but can only cover them with things. The Taoist priest uncovered it for everyone to see, but did not cover it immediately, but let this naked and terrifying thing be exposed to people's eyes.

"She's still alive?" Zhang Renyuan couldn't help but ask.

The person next to her nodded and said, "After the gangster left, Lang found that she still had a breath, but she was blind, deaf, and even her tongue was cut out, so now she neither knows where she is, can't hear us, and can't speak to us." ”

Speaking of this, I saw Liu Qibaiyue and the others clenching their fists. Lao Dao gritted his teeth and said: "Why didn't Zhou Bin cut her off directly, and he broke people like this?" ”

Zhang Renyuan said: "Zhou Bin is a cool official, he is a person who takes pleasure in tyranny, I heard that a few years ago, he asked him to take care of Liu Youqiu's rebellion, and he also turned people's families into such 'radish people' (people who have no limbs and only torsos). ”

"Breaking him into pieces will not atone for his sins! How can such a person get away with it? Lao Dao gritted his teeth and said, "The imperial court would protect such a beast, where is the justice?" Where is the royal law? ”

Zhang Ren said: "Whoever has the power is the king's law, and if you want to bring a wicked person like Zhou Bin to justice, you must first get rid of the Taiping and Xue clans, the two first evils who usurped the throne and did evil...... Otherwise, such tragedies will happen again, and we can only sigh with joy. But the thief is powerful, we are not opponents, the current plan can only hope to the Taoist, hope that the Taoist can get rid of these two heinous thieves, the people are very happy, the society is very happy! ”

Taoist priest Zhengse said: "In the past, the tyranny of King Qin, the aspirant Jing Ke carried the sword and did not look back, leaving behind the swan song of the wind and the cold, and today the poor Dao is also willing to sacrifice his life for righteousness!" With that, he looked at the two assistants below.

Liu Qi and Baiyue were already filled with righteous indignation when they saw such a tragic situation, an innocent woman who had just become a bride became like this, what a tragedy, ordinary people would be angry with the murderer...... And Baiyue's sight of the woman on the shelf evoked her childhood memories, all kinds of sins that occurred in the family when her family was raided and exterminated, and some people were cut into "turnip people" by those brutal officials, and they made fun of it......

Baiyue took two steps forward without hesitation, knelt on the ground and said, "I am willing to follow the lord to eliminate evil and promote good, and swear to kill the thief!" ”

Seeing this, Liu Qi also hurriedly bowed and said, "A certain wish to go." ”

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Renyuan invited them to the secret room and began the arrangement of the assassins. The preparations here also took some twists and turns, and Zhang Renyuan sent people to connect with the Turkic cavalry while preparing, and all aspects of the matter entered the practice stage.

Zhang Renyuan has already made up his mind to rebel! He also has the roots of rebellion, and according to the usual way of rebellion, it is nothing more than to occupy a place and then recruit troops to expand around to launch a rebellion war. However, he himself knew that there was a huge disparity in strength, so he had to find a way to get rid of Princess Taiping and Xue Chongxun before declaring a rebellion, and if he succeeded, then the situation could become very favorable.

At this time, he hadn't revealed his intentions, and even wrote a recital and sent it back to Guanzhong.

…… His presentation from the border pass was not about military affairs, but about a Taoist priest who had traveled the world and found a very ancient stone with words on it in the mountains. Lao Dao sent the stone to the government, Zhang Renyuan did not dare to intercept it after seeing the words, so he hurriedly wrote to the court to send the stone to Princess Taiping and others.

"A stone with words in the mountains?" Princess Taiping muttered with a smile.

When Xue Chongxun heard this sentence, he guessed the content of the eight or nine points, isn't it the same thing as the stone that was fished out of the Yellow River with inscriptions? I'm afraid that Princess Taiping is also like a mirror in her heart, she has experienced the whole process of her biological mother Wu Zetian's usurpation of the throne before, what kind of tricks to seal Mount Tai and the Yellow River out of stone, what has she not done?

However, Xue Chongxun didn't say anything, so he just sat there silently drinking tea and listening to the piano. Princess Taiping occasionally glanced at him, and when she saw that he didn't have anything to say, she said to herself: "Chongxun, do you think that the stone mentioned in this piece was found by a Taoist priest or was Zhang Ren willing to find someone to carve it himself?" ”

"I'm afraid he did it himself, and the old way and the like are all disguises." Xue Chongxun said truthfully.

Princess Taiping said slowly: "Look at Zhang Renyuan, in the end, he is an experienced and knowledgeable minister, and he is much more experienced than the young emperor when he does something. The emperor will be in the capital for a while, and he will abdicate for a while, ups and downs, but what is the use in the end; Looking at Zhang Renyuan again, he didn't say anything, so he made up a Taoist priest to find a stone, but he didn't say anything......"

"Yes." Xue Chongxun responded cautiously. Princess Taiping has not made a clear statement on the issue of the throne until now, and he has been waiting, not wanting to show his desire to be the emperor at all, so as not to arouse Princess Taiping's affection and resistance.

To this day, Xue Chongxun still thinks that the key point of the whole event is Princess Taiping. He only cared about Princess Taiping's choice, and didn't pay attention to other things at all...... As long as Princess Taiping supports herself, all problems are no longer problems, as long as she co-opts all the people who can be co-opted, and then uses force to solve their common enemies, how simple it is; In case she still cared about the Li family's social affairs, Xue Chongxun would not dare to act rashly, because their mother and son had too many power exchanges, and a confrontation would only hurt both sides, and no one would benefit.

Princess Taiping continued: "Don't use the emperor's method, you have to make more preparations like Zhang Renyuan's idea, some things are not in a hurry, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it quickly." ”

Is she testing herself by saying this? Xue Chongxun's heart tightened, and he paused and didn't answer immediately. Xue Chongxun has been trying to figure out her mother's psychology, although she often shows favor to herself, and there must be many considerations such as feelings and interdependence, but she is actually not easy to make up her mind...... After all, betraying her ancestors is a very strict thing, and her surname Li can never be changed.

Xue Chongxun did not follow Princess Taiping's words rashly, he hurriedly said: "Mother Mingjian, this is not a matter of methods, and Erchen didn't want to do that. ”

"Hehe......" Princess Taiping laughed shallowly, her bright eyes seemed to be able to see through people's minds, and the pressure on Xue Chongxun was very great.

Princess Taiping gently tapped on the table again: "Do you want him to send this stone of benevolence over to take a look?" ”

"What's the point of seeing such things, if we let him send someone to send this thing back, won't the discerning person be sure of our ambitions?" Xue Chongxun said.

"Zhang Renyuan ......" Princess Taiping read the name again, frowned, "This person has made great contributions to the imperial court, but in recent years, he has rarely been in Beijing, and he is relatively distant from me." It's not a good thing that the people in charge of the troops are not our people. And this time he used this to show me where he stands: he sent me one of these stones, which is a merit to me; And in others it is a handle and a stain, a sufficient proof of punishment...... Therefore, I want him to send the stone over, to see what the words are on it, and to understand the position of a feudal official. ”

Since the Taiping Duke wants to do this, then the ambition is not on Xue Chongxun's head, what reason does he have to oppose it? So he immediately agreed: "But let my mother decide." ”

Princess Taiping said to Yu Liben, who was standing aside: "You call the court doctor in Menxia Province to reply, and Zhang Ren is willing to ask." ”

Yu Liben hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, the slave will do it immediately." ”

Seeing this, Xue Chongxun suddenly realized a little mystery, the ancient "saint" was on top, and he would hardly take it by himself, but he kept resigning, and only when he couldn't resign did he "reluctantly" agree to everyone's persuasion. This kind of dry method is not only a matter of form, but in fact, the process of prevarication is waiting for the time to be ripe, so as to reduce resistance as much as possible.

For example, now, if he is bent on how to usurp the throne, maybe Princess Taiping and other forces will be worried and evolve into his enemies. On the contrary, let go, don't force her or persuade her, let her figure it out for herself will be much more reliable.

Xue Chongxun thinks that his mother will eventually stand on his side, for too many reasons. One of the points is that even if Princess Taiping chooses "loyalty", future generations will still give her an infamy, and all kinds of unbearable things will be deducted from her head; On the contrary, she ruined Li Tang's country for her own selfishness, but she may gain a good name, and all kinds of bad things will be covered up. In this world, it's not good to do good things, but there must be retribution for bad things.

At this time, the Taiping princess got up to go back to the Changchun Palace after finishing his business, Xue Chongxun hurriedly made a very filial appearance to help her, and the corner of Princess Taiping's mouth showed a smile, and she put her jade-white hand in Xue Chongxun's palm. When she stood up with Xue Chongxun's hand, Xue Chongxun saw the skin on her neck next to her hair, perhaps because of the black hair, the skin was even whiter, clean, fragrant, and soft, Xue Chongxun liked this feeling very much.

He looked unhurried, always by Princess Taiping's side, and didn't do anything serious...... Because he thinks that when the time is not ripe, it is better to do nothing than to be idle. In short, he is in a more optimistic mood now, but he still needs to wait, when will he be considered mature? Maybe when the general trend comes, the blind will be able to see it.

In the face of great power, strategy and so on are secondary, and two things are more important to the characters than the others: patience and longevity. Sima Yi is better than Zhuge Liang in that he lives a long time, and his opponents are dead.
