The person who was waiting for Yang Fan at the Yang family was Princess Taiping. Princess Taiping also found out about the actions of the ministers against Erzhang, but she has not stopped it, the purpose is to use the ministers to test the current attitude of the mother emperor and the bottom limit of tolerance.

But how can it be so easy to stay out of the officialdom battle, and she was implicated in it. After Erzhang got Wu Zetian's hint, he fearlessly arranged a crime of rebellion for Wei Yuanzhong, Zhang Yizhi had an idea, and easily added Si Licheng Gao Jian as Wei Yuanzhong's accomplice, and Gao Jian was the disciple of Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping has been expanding shili since the opening of the government, and Erzhang is also rapidly expanding shili, in order to compete for some official positions, the two sides inevitably have friction, and Princess Taiping is not like Wan'er to tolerate Erzhang, so the two sides have long had grudges.

And Erzhang also knows that the crown prince and the king have always been cowardly, only this princess Taiping is the mainstay of the Li Tang clan, and only by bringing her down can the threat from the Li Tang faction disappear completely, so they classified Gao Jian as Wei Yuanzhong's comrade, as long as Gao Jian is convicted, they can launch another wave of attacks and point the finger at the prince and Princess Taiping.

Wu Zetian didn't pay attention to this Si Licheng, who was not in a heavy position, and when she saw Gao Jian's name, she really thought that Gao Jian was Wei Yuanzhong's henchman, so she took it together. This made Princess Taiping furious, if she couldn't keep Gao Jian, it would inevitably affect her expanding shili, how could she stay out of it.

Therefore, Princess Taiping has become the biggest supporter and planner behind the rebellion of the ministers. As soon as she heard that Wei Yuanzhong had been arrested, Princess Taiping immediately mobilized her people to admonish, and at the same time went to her two elder brothers to discuss countermeasures, as long as these two brothers stood up and made a statement. Shili who is loyal to them will definitely give it his all.

At that time, even if she is as strong as Wu Zetian, she may not dare to let the monarchy and the vassal power form such a serious opposition, she is too old, what she needs most now is a smooth transition, and when the time comes, the case of Wei Yuanzhong will be raised high, and gently putting it down is the only choice, and Gao Jian can naturally turn the corner from danger.

Unexpectedly, the crown prince Li Xian had already been frightened by his mother and did not dare to come forward at all. Moreover, he believes that he is now the crown prince, and the Wu family has given up competing for the crown prince. No matter how much Erzhang tosses, he can't become the emperor, he has nothing to hurry, as long as he waits patiently for a few years, the emperor must be him. Therefore, Li Xian not only did not want to come forward with Princess Taiping, but was anxious by Princess Taiping. also complained, and there was a lot of resentment towards Wei Yuanzhong between words. complained that he had nothing to do. You deserve this lesson.

Princess Taiping was really disappointed in this unresponsible royal brother, and in desperation, she went to find King Xiang, who was a little more bloody than the prince, but this matter had nothing to do with him at all, if this matter could really implicate the prince, there might be unexpected good things to him. The prince himself is not prominent, why should he be troubled?

Princess Taiping hit two nails in a row with the two brothers, and she was really a little disheartened. But she didn't want to give up, so she could only continue to mobilize her own faction of Liliang to rescue Wei Yuanzhong and Gao Jian through admonition. As for uniting all the liliang who can be united to fight against Erzhang, there is no need to think about it.

The biggest liliang that can be united is the prince and the king of Xiang, the prince and the king of the prime minister are unwilling to come forward, the prince faction and the prince faction cannot form a joint force, except for the people of the princess Taiping, only those ministers who belong to the prince's faction and have personal relations with Wei Yuanzhong come forward, and the liliang that Taiping can contact is only King Liang, but will King Liang come forward for them?

The result of this question is not known, so Princess Taiping did not try to contact Wu Sansi at all. When she was helpless and haggard, Princess Taiping came to Yang Fan's house.

Taiping did not know that Yang Fan held an extremely strong political liliang, and although the main body of this liliang was a family and a scholar, it could exert great influence on the political arena through inextricable connections. She was just weak and powerless, and instinctively wanted to get a little comfort from her lover.

At this time, in Fengchen Prison, the Zhang brothers were also nervously discussing countermeasures. They had not expected such a strong backlash from the ministers, and if they had known that the reactions would be so fierce, perhaps they would not have listed Gao Jian as an accomplice in the rebellion.

Now, Wei Yuanzhong and Gao Jian completely denied all the charges imposed on them in prison, and now there are no cool officials like Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen, and Suo Yuanli in the Three Law Divisions, and most of the officials in the Three Law Divisions are devoted to Li Tang, they will not torture to extract confessions, and even acquiesce to the prison officials communicating with Wei Yuanzhong and Gao Jian inside and outside.

After Wei Yuanzhong and Gao Jian knew that the ministers were running to rescue them, their attitude in prison was even more resolute. Wu Zetian ordered the three legal divisions to be interrogated several times, but they did not get a single confession from the two, and Wei Yuanzhong even fought back, citing the old practice of Wu Zetian summoning Di Renjie and other seven ministers who were framed by Lai Junchen for rebellion in front of the emperor, and personally inquired about the case, and asked to confront Erzhang in front of the palace. "It's very coincidental", Song Jing and other courtiers also admonished at this time, asking the court to distinguish right from wrong.

Wu Zetian had no choice but to agree to let the accuser and the defendant confront each other in public in court to determine whether Wei Yuanzhong and Gao Jian were guilty. With the aging of her body and the decline of her energy, Wu Zetian's control over the court is indeed getting worse and worse, how could she be forced to be so "embarrassed" by the courtiers ten years ago.

Since coming down from the court, Wu Zetian immediately told Erzhang about the crime, and the charges were provided by them, so they were naturally responsible for providing evidence. Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong panicked when they heard this, their charges of treason were fabricated, and if they really want to be more real, how can there be real evidence.

The two had a secret discussion, and Zhang Yizhi said: "We must find a witness, a confession, and a testimony before we can convict them!" ”

Zhang Changzong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This matter is easy to do, I asked Ma Han to come forward as a witness, and asked him to bite Wei Yuanzhong and Gao Jian, and just say that I heard them say those big rebellious words, isn't it enough?" ”

Zhang Yizhi glared at him angrily and said, "Confused! Ma Han is our Fengchen Prison's person, let our people come forward as witnesses, do you say that the people of the world can be convinced? ”

Zhang Changzong touched his chin and hesitated: "Or, let's buy it with a lot of money?" There are a lot of outlaws in the market, and as long as we can afford it, they will ......."

Zhang Yizhi interrupted him again. Said: "A splash, I actually heard what the prime minister said, is it possible?" ”

Zhang Changzong glared and said: "This can't be done, that's not possible, so what do you say?" ”

Zhang Yizhi pondered for a long time, and said categorically: "Zhang said! Let's let Zhang speak up! ”

Zhang Changzong was stunned and said, "Zhang said, is he willing?" ”

Zhang said that at this time, the official residence of the Fengge was a person, and Zhang said that the year and the weak crown were in high school, and the palace tried the court policy. His strategy was rated as the first by Wu Zetian, and he is a famous talent in the world today. This person has always had a relationship with Gao Jian, and if he wanted him to come forward to accuse his old friend of rebellion, Zhang Changzong couldn't help but be a little vague.

Zhang Yizhi said: "It is precisely because Zhang said that he has a good personal relationship with Gao Jian, and he has always had an outstanding official reputation. Only if he comes forward to testify can it be the most powerful evidence. ”

Zhang Changzong smiled bitterly: "I know this. But Zhang said that he was willing to be a witness for us? ”

Zhang Yizhi: "Although Zhang said that he had some personal relations with Gao Jian. However, the two have always had political disagreements, I think...... I'm afraid they can't talk about how deep a friendship they have. ”

Zhang Changzong's expression moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Zhang Yizhi nodded and said, "Gao Jian once wanted to introduce Zhang Shuo to worship under Princess Taiping with him, but Zhang Shuo refused to agree. Later, because there were rumors about Taiping raising Gao Jian and others, Zhang Shuo used this as a reason. Alienated the Taiping.

When we compiled "Three Teachings Zhuying", Zhang said that he made a great effort, and I did not treat him badly, precisely because of the compilation of "Three Teachings Zhuying". He was promoted to the Fengge Pavilion as a talent with no background, this is a kindness to him, right? Now, as long as we promise him the grace of a high-ranking official, he may not be moved by us. ”

Zhang Yizhi whispered to Zhang Changzong: "You go, find him first, when the time comes, I will lure, you coerce, let's go together, if he agrees to be a witness, the high-ranking official Houlu is at his choice, if he doesn't agree, then his future will be cut off, and I'm not afraid that he won't be obedient!" ”

Zhang Changzong nodded again and again, and then left Fengchen Prison and personally invited Zhang Shuo to go.

Yang Fan learned that the prime minister of the dynasty was arrested, which was a major event that had not happened in recent years, and Yang Fan hurried into the palace to learn more. He has the identity of a thousand cavalry generals, and it is more convenient for him to enter and leave the palace than the emperor's relatives, and he soon got first-hand information from Wan'er.

Yang Fan came out of the palace and just returned to the mansion when Mo Xuanfei came up and whispered, "Ah Lang, Princess Taiping is here." ”

Mo Xuanfei knew the warmth between his master and Princess Taiping, and his voice was very small, Yang Fan was stunned, and asked in a low voice, "Where is she?" ”

Mo Xuan flew to the place where the flowers and plants flourished, and Yang Fan understood, so he turned around and climbed the low mountain. In a small red pentagonal pavilion, Xiao Man is sitting and chatting with Taiping, the edge of the pavilion is luxuriant, and the big strange flowers at the mouth of the bowl hang down heavily on their sides, but the two women are more delicate than flowers.

Seeing Yang Fan coming from the trail, Xiao Man immediately got up and called in a coquettish voice: "Lang Jun." ”

Yang Fan nodded to her, smiled at Taiping again, and arched his hand: "Your Highness is here." ”

Xiao Man smiled at him and said softly: "Lang Jun will sit with His Royal Highness, and the slave family will prepare wine and food." ”

Xiao Man confessed to Taiping, and then left, Yang Fan sat down in the position she had just sat in, saw that Taiping looked unhappy, and smiled: "What, because Gao Jian was arrested, I am not happy?" ”

Taiping said hatefully: "It depends on the owner to beat the dog!" The second one is clearly coming for me, and I will never give up with them in this matter. ”

Yang Fan sighed: "Speaking of which, Wei Xiang's personality is also too upright. Since the impeachment of Erzhang is invalid, and the Son of Heaven has obvious intention to defend it, then forbear it for the time being, why bother to show their disgust for Erzhang so obviously, if they are willing to be false and wronged, how can Erzhang take risks? It's good now, Erzhang just lost a clown, but they suffered a big loss, which is really unwise. ”

Taiping glanced at him and said coquettishly: "What is this called!" If I hadn't known who you were, and only listened to what you said, I would have thought you were on the other side. ”

Yang Fan smiled and comforted: "Okay, okay, it's come to this, it's useless for you to be angry, let's take a long-term view." ”

Taiping said angrily: "People have long hair and short knowledge, and they can't take a long-term view!" ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly noticed that Yang Fan had something to say, and couldn't help but raise her eyes in surprise, and said, "Take a long-term view?" What do you mean by that? ”

Yang Fan has already inquired about entering the palace this time, and the person who wants to kill a hundred people is Wu Zetian himself, and Erzhang is just an executor, how can this lawsuit be fought?

Yang Fan said: "You, do you dare to frame others for rebellion with Weishenme?" At the beginning, Zhou Xing, Suo Yuanli and others dared to use this as a reason to eradicate the ministers, and that was because the emperor also needed them to do so. As for Lai Junchen, it is a mad dog, and it can't be speculated by common sense. Do you think Erzhang is as crazy as Lai Junchen? ”

Princess Taiping is so wise, although Yang Fan said vaguely, Princess Taiping understood as soon as she heard it, and couldn't help but shout: "You mean, this matter was instructed by the mother?" ”

Yang Fan sighed softly, didn't say yes, didn't say no, just groaned: "Erzhang came prepared this time, if you want to save Gao Jian, it's difficult." ”

Princess Taiping bit her lip and said, "It's hard to do, can I sit idly by?" ”

Yang Fan said: "The strong man unties his wrist, he must let go when he should let go, otherwise, you should have broken a finger, but you will even bury your arm, this wise man does not do anything!" Ling Yue, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, endure the anger for a while, and there will be a more powerful counterattack in the future. ”

Princess Taiping turned around and remained silent. Yang Fan didn't speak again, he just wanted her to think about it, but after a while, he faintly heard the sound of sobbing, Yang Fan hurriedly stood up, walked to her side and took a look, only to see Taiping tears rippling, and couldn't help but panic: "Ling Yue, what are you doing here?" ”

Taiping cried: "People have bullied me, you don't support your woman, but you will only blindly persuade me to stop." You guys...... You stinky men will only protect yourself one by one, should I be a woman to worry about this world? ”

Yang Fan was surprised: "You guys? ”

Taiping shook his shoulder angrily and said, "The two brothers are like this, and you are also like this, they are all cowards!" ”

Yang Fan suddenly, gently grabbed her fragrant shoulder, and said with true feelings: "If I can help you, do you think I won't?" After this incident, it is indeed harmful to you, but the road is treacherous, how can there be smooth sailing, if there is a weak will, because of a small setback, he abandons you and goes to find another job, you will envelop him under the door and how can it be reused. ”

Taiping said bitterly: "Then I'll just endure it like this?" ”

Yang Fan said: "Bear with it!" Endure the anger of the moment, and the long-term success! At the moment, ordinary charges do not help them at all. Only by treating others in the way of others can they have the possibility of success. Until then, you must endure! ”

Ren is too bright and talented, arrogant, and has to bow low and be small in front of Yang Fan, after listening to Yang Fan's words, Taiping thought about it, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded aggrievedly.
