A special team entered Chang'an City, a high-headed horse, a bright armor, a knight with a complete sword and shield, and a sharp spear in his hand, giving people a sense of oppression from afar.

This is the forbidden army, but they don't have a sense of uniformity at the moment, because among them, there are many wagons escorted, and as many as hundreds of prisoners locked together with long ropes.

The people of Chang'an have become numb to this scene, they have seen a lot of arresting scenes in the past few days, although such a grand scene today is relatively rare, it still loses its freshness to them.

The party entered the city from the west, and did not wander long in the city, but they soon turned to the north, went out of the far gate, and entered the garrison of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion. When they returned to Chang'an, Chang'an's purge from official to civilian, from open to covert, was nearing its end.

Their rush back brought this massive purge to a perfect end.

There were many beneficiaries of this operation, but there were only three winners in the end, one was named Wu Zetian, one was called Shen Mu, and one was ...... It's Yang Fan.

Wu Zetian didn't know Shen Mu and Yang Fan's jihua, but Yang Fan and Shen Mu coerced the nine heavens of wind and thunder, hugged the grass and beat rabbits, and successfully cut off the chains bound to them, and they turned from a chess piece at the mercy of others to the person who played chess.

And what about those who have been reduced from chess players to pawns?

Longxi, Lanzhou.

In the south of Lanzhou City, in the huge building that was as magnificent and solemn as a prince's mansion, Li Taigong was furious.

"Ba Shang! All the reasons come from the ba! ”

Mrs. Li slammed his crutches, turned his head and asked, "Is there one of us on the bar?" Were we aware of the commotion there? ”

His eldest grandson, Li Mingkun, replied with a wry smile, "No! We've never paid attention to the mud legs on the ba. As a matter of fact. The people we control are separated by several layers from those people in Bashang, and as a result, they are stunned to be swept ablaze by the momentum of sparks, from the group of Caoding Caofu on Ba Shang to Caokou, through Caokou to the middle and low-class Chang'an gentry officials, and then through these middle- and low-class gentry officials to the higher-level officials......, Taigong, they have played a good chess game! ”

"Tuk!"

The crutches slammed on the ground, and Mrs. Li said angrily: "This game of chess is not finished yet!" The old man will not give up. They thought that after sweeping the officialdom in Guanzhong, the old man could only rely on them? Two youngsters, the old man will let them know how powerful! ”

The more Mrs. Li spoke, the more angry she became: "Especially Shen Mu's white-eyed wolf." The old man won't let him go! This bastard thing, if it weren't for the old man's cultivation, if it weren't for the old man's spare support, he would be where he is today? He's good, and he got to Qiqi with rhetoric. Now it's time to deal with the old man again! If he hadn't become the grandson-in-law of the old man, how could the old man have always been so reassuring of him. How could he make such a big move and never doubt his loyalty!! ”

Li Mingkun coughed and said, "Grandson has always felt it." Shen Mu has a backbone......"

"!"

Old Lady Li glared at him hatefully and said, "You bastard, do you want to be a fortune teller?" You already saw it, didn't you say it? When your sister followed him, you applauded. ”

Li Mingkun said curtly: "Isn't that the little sister dead set on him, the little sister's temper, you also know it." ”

Mrs. Li became angry again: "Qiqi, this dead girl, owes the old man so much to her!" Her man did these things of intriguery. She won't know at all, she actually hid it from the old man, and actually helped her man deal with the old man! Girls are outgoing, girls are outgoing! ”

Li Mingkun smiled bitterly: "Taigong, it's useless to talk about these things now. Shen Mu sent Xiaofeijian Zhang Yi and Zhao Yu to send his handwritten letters. Excuse your old man's guilt, and explain his suffering, reiterating that he has no intention of betraying the family, but just wants to take greater initiative and change from obeying orders to cooperating with each other. Have you asked the prince to mediate with the major families, what does the prince mean? ”

Mrs. Li blew her beard and glared, "Tell them to get out!" The old man is gone! Do you still want to take advantage of the old man? Don't even think about it! He thought that the old man's favorite granddaughter was given to him, and he would be able to manipulate the old man at will? His foundation is in Guanlong, Guanlong is the old man's territory, and the old man immediately returned the color, so that he knew how powerful the old man was, and asked him to plead guilty to the old man, and called him ......"

Before Mrs. Li's bold words were finished, a blue-robed Confucian with a clear face and three locks of long hair hurriedly walked outside the door. ”

The green-robed Confucian ignored him, hurriedly walked to Mrs. Li's side, and said with a solemn face: "Father, this is the first decree issued by Guo Zhen, the ambassador of the Longyou Army and the governor of Liangzhou, after taking office!" ”

Guo Zhen, surnamed Guo Mingzhen, the character Yuan Zhen. This Guo Yuanzhen is also a strange person, he was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of eighteen and was appointed as the lieutenant of Tongquan County. But this young jinshi has a bold temperament, so that he can be chivalrous and likes to fight and hold grievances......

Of course, this is the official glorification of him after he got on the right path and became a big official, in fact, he likes to fight. He made friends with many indiscriminate heroes and strongmen, and when he was the lieutenant of Tongquan County, he minted private money, plundered and sold people, and did many things that violated discipline and state law.

But he later woke up and embarked on the right path, rising all the way to the rank of official in the Ministry of Rites. In the spring of this year, this guest from Wupin, because he had been the lieutenant of Tongquan County, the envoy to Tubo, and had been a host and guest for many years, had dealt with ethnic minorities and foreign countries in Fanbang, and was familiar with the situation in the Western Regions, and was appointed as the governor of Liangzhou and the ambassador of the Longyou Army.

Mrs. Li knew that this person had a lot to do with Shen Mu, and he could have today, without Shen Mu's help and help behind him. Now that Shen Mu has blatantly broken with the family, but his son suddenly took out a notice after this person took office, there must be a great connection between the two.

Old lady Li hurriedly snatched Guo Dudu's notice, narrowed her presbyopia and looked seriously.

After reading a notice, Mrs. Li was immediately stunned.

The proclamation issued by the governor of Liangzhou and the ambassador of the Longyou army listed the following measures: the construction of more castles, beacons, the opening of tuntian, the development of water conservancy, the summoning of exiles, and the care of the army and civilians, all of which are all good things.

But the next words ...... that in view of the prevalence of the merger of the powerful clans, oppressing the common people and extorting the merchants, the governor of Guo wanted to restrain the powerful and powerful, disarm the powerful personal guards, restrict the annexation of land by the powerful and powerful, protect the merchants in the Western Regions, and prohibit the local powerful from interfering in government affairs......

One by one, in the high-sounding palace, there is a hidden killing machine. How to do these things and to what extent they are only in Guo Dudu's thoughts, and who exactly are these cases aimed at? Is there anyone in the Guanlong area who is bigger than the Li family?

If Guo Yuanzhen is allowed to do it, who will be the person who will suffer the hardest blow on Guanlong Road? The so-called businessmen who protected trade in the Western Regions could be regarded as putting a layer of protection on Shen Mu in the Western Regions? This golden light cover, can he Li Taigong break it?

Seeing that his grandfather and father were looking at each other, Li Mingkun licked his lips and coughed dryly: "Xiaofeijian Zhang Yi and Zhao Yu are still waiting to see you in the guest house, Taigong...... Do you want to meet them? ”

Mrs. Li's eyes flashed for a long time before she said in a deep voice: "What's the use of the old man seeing them?" Even if the old man is willing to give in, the other six are willing to swallow this breath? They have not only the means to deal with our Li family, but they should also have the means to put pressure on the other six. Wait, if they stop there......"

Old Madam Li sneered and shook her head.

Spring is like a radiant painter, wielding its colored pencils, all the way through the Luoyang Palace, long streets and alleys, painted farmhouses and fields, painted over mountains and rivers, and painted the people walking in the middle of it are also colorful.

"Zize Garden" in a flower bush, snow in winter like flowers, spring flowers like snow, two beauties in the flowers, one white and one red, sit side by side, like a branch and pedicle peony.

Princess Taiping's red dress and green sleeves are charming. Her maternal family has always had longevity genes, and the degree of aging is surprisingly slow, her grandmother is like this, her mother is also the same, Wu Zetian still looks like a person in his forties when he is in his sixties, and it is not until he is over seventy that the degree of aging begins to accelerate.

Princess Taiping obviously inherited this characteristic of her mother, plus as a princess, she lived a good life and was well-maintained, if it weren't for her delicate and mature woman's taste, just looking at her skin color and body, it would be believed to say that she only had twenty people.

Sitting next to her is Shangguan Wan'er, Shangguan Wan'er likes to wear white, and today she is still wearing a moon-white shirt, but compared to the light shirt that was well-cut and showed her slender figure, the clothes she is wearing now are much fatter, and she looks a little elegant and graceful.

What the two of them held in their hands was a letter from Yang Fan, which talked about Zhang Changzong's purge of Chang'an officialdom before and after his arrival in Chang'an. But this kind of report does not need Yang Fan to speak, Wan'er and Taiping have their own channels, and they can clearly understand everything that happened in Chang'an.

Therefore, these things were only skimmed in the letter and did not go into detail, and Yang Fan mentioned another matter in detail. From Zhang Changzong's every move in Chang'an, coupled with the fact that Zhang Yizhi presided over the compilation of "Three Teachings Zhuying" is about to be completed, he summed up a possibility:

Maybe the emperor did it intentionally, maybe it was the second Zhang who took the initiative, in short, the Zhang brothers are stepping up the speed of grabbing power, Zhang Yizhi's repair of the book, Zhang Changzong's removal of traitors, obviously for this purpose, with the emperor's favor for them, they will soon be able to achieve this goal.

Although the sudden rise of the Zhang brothers weakened the Wu clan's liliang, it hurt the Li clan even more. In view of this, he believes that it is necessary to take precautions and apply obstacles immediately.

This is also in line with Princess Taiping's judgment, because of the last time he and Wu three times attacked Erzhang, the relationship between the Wu and Li families has been greatly eased, Taiping is trying to join forces with the Wu family to clamp Erzhang, Yang Fan's idea is in her arms. But the method proposed by Yang Fan made her, who has always been smart, a little overwhelmed...... (To be continued......)
