Chapter 312: You Strike First

Yang Fan's three-day marriage period expired, and he returned to the palace to be on duty, and as soon as he arrived, the deputy general Fei Shengxuan reported to him that he had beaten Wang Qingzhi to death on the orders of Li Zhaode.

Yang Fan saw him worried, smiled and comforted: "Yang has already heard about this matter, even if the official is present, under Prime Minister Li's strict order, he can only bow down and obey orders, what is the general's crime?" You don't have to take this matter to heart. ”

Fei Shengxuan said secretly: "Yang Lang is so good at talking? Yes, that Wang Qingzhi is asking for the life of the King of Wei, I can't leave the palace on the day of the big wedding of Lang Jiang, I asked Huang Xuchang to send a gift, Lao Huang came back and said that even the King of Liang went at that time, so to speak, Yang Lang will be a member of the Liang King faction of the Wu clan, and has nothing to do with the King of Wei. ”

After figuring out this joint, Fei Shengxuan's mind was completely let go, and he and Yang Fan happily made a handover. Yang Fan took over the process of recording today's affairs, and the first one read: "Lou Shide returned to Beijing, and sent a guard of honor to greet Li Xiang Shili Pavilion!" ”

Lou Shide arrived in Beijing, Lou Shide's victory was not only the first victory of the Zetian Dynasty, but more importantly, it paved the way for Wu Zetian to recover the four towns of Anxi.

Li Zhaode is the prime minister of the dynasty, ranking fourth among the prime ministers, and Lou Shide's current official position is far inferior to Li Zhaode, Wu Zetian asked Li Zhaode to greet him on his behalf, which shows the importance of Lou Shide, and also shows the glory of Lou Shide's return to Beijing.

After Yang Fan arranged the security affairs in the palace, he personally brought the guard of honor to go out of the city with Li Zhaode, and when he saw Lou Shide, Lou Shide couldn't help but smile when he saw that the general of the forbidden army who greeted him was Yang Fan.

Because the two were still far apart, and Li Zhaode was the one who greeted him, Lou Shide didn't say much to Yang Fan, only nodded to him with a smile, and then bowed to Li Zhaode.

Li Zhaode said a word about the welcoming scene, and then boarded the imperial chariot sent by the emperor with Lou Shide and marched towards the palace. And rolled up the curtains to accept the welcome of the people of the city.

The honor guard went forward, and the meritorious person loudly praised the merits and names of the people who entered the city, and the people heard that the person on the imperial chariot was Lou Shide, who had made great contributions in the Western Regions, cheered and worshipped, and was extremely respectful, Li Zhaode saw it in his eyes, and his heart was even more unhappy.

He looked down on Lou Shide very much. Lou Shide came from a humble background. Although he has been an official for so many years, many of his behaviors are still the same as ordinary people, and these actions are seen in the eyes of Li Zhaode, who has received aristocratic education since childhood. I couldn't bear it and felt very rude.

Especially Lou Shide guards the border all the year round, and the wind and sun are exposed. The skin is very rough, coupled with the obesity of the body, and one leg is lame when walking, in the eyes of Li Zhaode, who attaches great importance to appearance, his heart is even more disgusted, although the two of them are traveling in the same car, but on the royal chariot with a very wide seat, he sits far away from Lou Shide, and the distance in the middle is enough to sit a big fat man. Along the way, Li Zhaode sat upright and seemed to be recuperating, and he didn't talk to Lou Shide in a word.

When the two arrived at the noon gate, they got off the imperial chariot and walked into the palace. Yang Fan pressed his sword to accompany the attendants, and the three of them accompanied by several attendants to the Wucheng Palace.

Lou Shide has been guarding the border for many years, and the last time he returned to Beijing to meet the Son of Heaven was when Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi was in power. When I returned to Beijing this time, the appearance of the capital was very different from that year. Especially in the palace, the place where the emperor met hundreds of officials has been transformed into a magnificent, gorgeous and solemn "Ming Hall".

The "heaven" behind the Vientiane Shrine is even more towering, and the huge Buddha statue can be seen from afar when you just enter the city. The eyebrows and facial features are clear. At this time, pass by the side of "Heaven" and look up at the giant Buddha. I only felt that my body was as small as an ant, and I couldn't help but be intoxicated.

Lou Shide is lame on one leg and walks very slowly, but he looks around all the way, but he will not slow down his pace, just because he walks slowly, and he will enjoy the weather in this palace by the way.

Li Zhaode is an anxious person, as soon as he walks fast, he has to stop and wait for him, and when he catches up and can't walk a few steps, he has to stop and wait, Li Zhaode is a little impatient, and then looks at Lou Shide looking around like a hillbilly who has never seen the world, Li Zhaode finally couldn't hold it back, and reprimanded: "You uninformed Tian Shehan, can you go faster!" ”

Tian Shehan is a curse word in the Tang Dynasty, which means hillbilly. Yang Fan's face couldn't help but change when he heard this, and he said in his heart: "This Li Xiang's temper is really not very good, how can General Lou get off the stage with such an insult?" ”

Yang Fan flashed his eyes and looked at Lou Shide, but saw that Lou Shide looked calm, without a trace of shame, just snorted and said with a smile: "Hehe, Shide was originally a Tian Shehan, but it made Li Xiangjian smile." Shide's left leg is a little disabled, and if he can't walk fast, he will be tired of Li Xiang! ”

Yang Fan couldn't help but secretly praise when he saw it: "People say that Lou Shide is broad-minded and generous like the sea, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation!" ”

Li Zhaode scolded Lou Shide without words, and he regretted it in his heart as soon as he said it, if he really reasoned with Lou Shide, it would be him who was at fault, at this time, when he saw Lou Shide's attitude, he was inconvenient to get angry anymore, so he had to slow down his pace and accompany Lou Shide to the palace step by step.

At this time, in the Wucheng Palace, Zong Qinke and Zhou Xing were impeaching a minister in front of Wu Zetian, and it was Wei Fangzhen who was impeached.

After Zhou Xing got Wu Chenghe's instructions, he immediately began to prepare Wei Fangzhi's black materials, because he was accusing a prime minister, and in order to increase his persuasiveness, he deliberately pulled in Zong Qinke.

Zong Qinke is currently the Fengge squire and internal history, is one of Wu Zetian's cronies, in order to Wu Zetian ascended the throne, Zong Qinke skillfully planned, exhausted, and made great contributions. He has another identity with Wu Zetian, he is Wu Zetian's cousin, and his mother is Wu Zetian's cousin.

At the beginning, in order to promote Wu Zetian's exploits, Zong Qinke once presided over the compilation of the "Records of Our Lady and the Emperor". At the beginning of Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne, he deliberately created twelve new characters, and the name "Wu Cao" used by Wu Mei today was created by him, taking the meaning of the sun and the moon in the sky.

So this person is very trusted by Wu Zetian, after Wu Zetian became the emperor, for Zong Qinke, of course, it is the descendants of the Wu family who inherit the throne, and he and his descendants can continue to be prosperous and rich, so he is one of the most enthusiastic people to abolish Prince Li Tang, so he hit it off with Wu Chenghei, and as soon as Zhou Xing confided in him, Zong Qinke promised to impeach him with him.

Zhou Xing reported to Wu Zetian all kinds of counter-traces about Wei Fangzhen that he had concocted, and presented some confessions from torture from death row prisoners in prison. But this man doesn't want to repay. But he was dissatisfied with Bixia as the emperor, and often made a lot of nonsense outside.

Chen heard that there are several plum trees planted in Wei Fangzhi's back garden, and in the spring of this year, the plum trees bloom like clouds, lush and beautiful. Wei Fangzhi was extremely happy, and specially held a family banquet under the Li tree to spread the table and drink. After getting drunk, he said, 'Today the plum tree is blooming luxuriantly. After autumn, it will be fruitful, and you should wait to drink again to congratulate! ’”

Wu Zetian's face was gloomy, and one was well maintained. The jade palm that was as delicate as a young woman in the boudoir "snapped" on the royal case. Shangguan Wan'er, who was standing on the side, saw this situation and secretly thought in her heart: "I'm afraid this Wei Fangzhi is going to be unlucky!" ”

Wu Zetian was really furious, she had reused Gong Heiming two years ago. As a result, Gong Siming actually hid Xu Jingzhen, the brother of the anti-thief Xu Jingye, and did everything possible to help him escape, and now he reuses Wei Fangzhen, Wei Fangzhen is also interested in Li Tang, or does he want to subvert his rule, are these people really a group of white-eyed wolves who can't be raised?

Wu Zetian said angrily to Zhou Xing: "Immediately put Wei Fangzhen in prison for investigation!" Once the crime is true, his family will be lost, and he will be assigned to Danzhou (Hainan Island)! ”

Zhou Xing was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

That's when it happened. The waiter Xiaohai reported at the door: "Everyone, Lou Shide Hall is waiting for the decree!" ”

When Wu Zetian heard that the great hero was coming, his face was slightly pale, and he ordered: "You guys retreat, Xuanlou Shide will see you!" ”

Zong Qinke and Zhou Xing's goal had been achieved, and they hurriedly retreated, and Li Zhaode led Lou Shide into the palace to face the king.

Yang Fan sent Li Zhaode and Lou Shide to the front of Wucheng Palace. The mission was over, and I wanted to turn back to the palace gate, but suddenly saw Zong Qinke and Zhou Xing coming out of the hall, with a proud face and happy eyebrows. I couldn't help but feel moved.

The chamberlain Xiaohai finished passing the will and was about to return to the palace. When Yang Fan saw it, he hurriedly greeted him, summoned him to the front, and asked in a low voice: "Zhongguiren, why did the internal history of the sect and Zhou Shangshu come?" ”

Xiao Hai is Shangguan Wan'er's confidant, although he didn't know that Yang Fan had a personal affair with his own edict, but he knew that this Yang Lang would have a close relationship with the edict, and he could be regarded as his own person, so he whispered: "They are here to sue Wei Fang for rebellion, everyone is very angry, and they have already been ordered, and the Ministry of Punishment has strictly investigated!" ”

Because Wu Zetian is now named Wu Cao, the word "Cao" is the same as the word "edict", so the edict is called a book. The edict does not say the edict, but changes the name to the subordinate system. Xiao Hai didn't dare to delay for a long time, and after saying this, he confessed to Yang Fan and hurried into the hall.

Yang Fan couldn't help but be stunned outside the hall when he heard Xiao Hai's words, Wu Chenghe's recruitment of Wei Fangzhen and touched the nail has not yet spread, and Yang Fan doesn't know why Zhou Xing attacked Wei Fangzhen.

However, Wei Fangzhi is the backbone of the Bao Li faction, and the plan of Yang Fan and Shen Mu and others is that Wu Zetian is unstoppable to say that the emperor is unstoppable, and the only hope is that she is too old to cultivate a qualified heir from the Wu clan, so she will sting for the time being, save Liliang, and wait for her to take the country back into the hands of the Li family after a hundred years.

Therefore, it is now necessary to retain and cultivate liliang who is loyal to Li Tang as much as possible. Wei Fang's heart is on Li Tang, and as the prime minister, this is an important liliang to inherit Li Tang's fire, and he can't imagine that it will be over.

Yang Fan doesn't know if the prime ministers have a good plan for this, but judging from similar incidents that have occurred in the past, or because Wu Zetian is too stubborn, once a decision is made, no one can change it, or Zhou Xing and others' methods of torture to extract confessions are too clever, as long as it falls into his hands, he is not afraid that you will not confess, so once he is imprisoned, he can almost never come out innocently, so it is impossible to hope that the prime ministers will take action.

"How's that okay?"

Yang Fan rubbed his hands and frowned, his heart was heavy, and when he walked to the palace gate, a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and he suddenly thought of Wu Sansi.

Zhou Xing is Wu Chengsi's minion, Wu Sansi now has the evidence to destroy Wu Chengsi in his hands, as long as he makes a move to bring down Wu Chengsi, as soon as Wu Chengsi's big tree falls, the monkey disperses, won't Wei Fangsi's danger be solved?

Thinking of this, Yang Fan couldn't wait to fly in front of Wu Sansi immediately, but he was responsible at this time, and he couldn't leave the palace for half a step.
