During the time when Yang Fan left Beijing to go to Fangzhou, many things happened in the capital.

After Wang Xiaojie's death, none of the four towns of Anxi could afford to be a general to guard it, and Wu Zetian attached great importance to the greatest military merits of the Wu Zhou Dynasty.

Since Hu Seluo stayed in Luoyang City, his biggest hobby has become a mellow beauty.

Recently, he just got a Japanese beauty, named A-chan, a girl who smiles like a sunny girl, different from the beauty of Middle-earth and the Western Regions, and her hearty personality and bright face, which made her quickly become Hu Sero's new favorite. I didn't want to be in love with a beautiful woman, and suddenly received a holy decree to let him go to Broken Leaf City to take office.

Hu Seluo has lived in the capital for a long time over the years, and his prestige among the people has been decreasing day by day, and he was unable to compete with Uzile at the beginning, and it is even more impossible now, but the holy order is difficult to disobey, so he has to take office hard.

He knew very well that he would be squeezed out by Wu Zhile this time, but fortunately, this time he was ordered to go to Broken Leaf City as the general manager of the Pingxi Army, and Wu Zhile would never dare to kill him, but he was not afraid of worrying about his life. But it won't be long before he will definitely have to be squeezed by Uzile and can't stay any longer.

So, he didn't even bring his favorite Japanese girl, A-chan, anyway, it won't be long before he rolls up the cover and rolls back, he went alone, and I don't know if he, who has now become a beauty collector, will bring back a Slavic beauty or a beauty of any other nationality when he comes back.

On the other hand, the Khitan generals Li Kaigu and Luo Wuquan deeply felt the trust of the imperial court and were grateful to the anti-Zhou vanguard to a powerful figure in counterinsurgency.

The Khitan was now divided into three or two, one defecting to the Turks and the other surrendering to the imperial court. One remained neutral, and some of the people who had participated in the rebellion became bandits. Li Kaigu and Luo Wu are the backbone of the sweep of these bandits.

They are familiar with the Khitans and the terrain of the north, so they have won victories one after another, Wu Zetian broke into the news, and praised Di Renjie and Yang Fan in their hearts, these two former scourges have now become the pillars of the imperial court.

It's just that Di Renjie, who saved these two generals for the imperial court, is not very well now, he is sick.

Di Renjie has always been in good health, and he rarely has a headache and brain fever. As a result, it is not easy for this person who is not often sick to get well once he gets sick, Di Renjie has been lying on the bed for many days, Wu Zetian is very anxious, and specially sent an imperial doctor to treat him, but Di Renjie is already old. If it is not a medicine stone, it still does not see any improvement.

During this period. Wu Zetian also changed the control of the crane prison to Fengchen Mansion. With Zhang Yizhi as the Fengchen Order, Zhang Changzong as the Fengchen Supervisor, after the name change, the Zhang brothers began to collect a large number of beautiful young men from Beijing, and the two Zhang took the opportunity to introduce many dignified young men who had good friends with them into the palace as Wu Zetian's concubines. and for them to obtain various official positions, further expand their shili.

At the same time, in terms of internal affairs, the "ban on slaughter" that had been imposed by the imperial court for seven years and had actually existed in name only for a long time was also stopped. For seven years, the powerful and powerful people have always had fish and meat, but the real bad luck is the fishermen who have kept their own to fishing, and these poor people, most of whom are concentrated in the water towns south of the Yangtze River, and by the time the edict of the ban is lifted, they will already be in trouble.

Another thing is related to Yang Fan, after the Fangling County Order reported the auspicious rui who found the "footprints of the gods" in the prison to the Beijing Division, I don't know what Wu Zetian's considerations were, maybe it was because no one had reported the auspicious rui in the past two years, and she attached great importance to this auspicious rui.

After sending personnel to investigate, confirming that giant footprints were found, and questioning the two prisoners, Wu Zetian was overjoyed and announced that next year would be the first year of Dazu and the name of the year would be changed. It's just that at this time, Yang Fan didn't know that he was in Fangling, and in order to get out of trouble, he came up with a method that prompted the country to change the name of the era.

There was another incident in the DPRK and China in terms of personnel, Ji Xu, who had just ascended to the throne, was demoted and demoted to Angu as a county lieutenant, because he had a quarrel with Wu Yizong, who had just returned from Hebei, because of a matter in the court.

Wu Zetian didn't say anything in the hall, but she was very unhappy in her heart, she was thinking about making her son the crown prince, and Ji Ji also supported the establishment of the Li family as the crown prince, Wu Yizong's performance in Hebei was unbearable, it was also surnamed Wu, and now Ji Ji dared to confront Wu Yizong in the court, after his own trip in the future, Ji Ji relied on the credit to the Li family, how would he treat the Wu clan at that time?

As soon as he thought of this, Wu Zetian found a reason the next day, demoted Ji Ji to the county lieutenant, and blasted out of the capital.

After this incident, Wu Yizong, a pig-riding general, trusted his aunt and mastered the power of the Kyoto garrison, and acted even more unscrupulously and arrogantly.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

On the sickbed, Wu Chenghe's cheeks were sunken, his eyes were blank, and his expression was very haggard.

He covered his handkerchief in his hand, coughed hoarsely for a while, and said to Zhang Jiafu while wheezing: "Yizong is now the commander of the Kyoto garrison, and he can be of great use, so he has to be recruited." Three days later, it is his birthday, and I have prepared a generous gift, and Xiao'er will go with you to congratulate Wu Yizong on his birthday. The child is dull and useless, and you need to make peace from it, and explain the meaning of this king's acceptance......"

Zhang Jiafu said worriedly: "Weichen should serve the prince!" It's just that Weichen thinks that the top priority is to cure the prince's illness first, and you have been getting worse and worse recently. ”

Wu Chengsi waved his hand and said disapprerovingly: "It's okay, the old problem is sick, it was too hard when I was exiled, and the root of the disease that fell is now getting older, this disease has come again, and I can't die." ”

The door knocked a few times, and before he could answer, the door opened, and the chief steward hurriedly walked in and handed Wu Chengsi a one-finger-long bamboo pipe.

Although Zhang Jiafu didn't know what was going on, the palace steward dared to trespass without permission, obviously he had already been instructed by Wu Chenghe, telling him under what circumstances he could report immediately without permission, so something must have happened, Zhang Jiafu couldn't help but get nervous.

Wu Chengsi saw that it was a bamboo pipe, and he was at a loss for a while, as if something was too long ago and had been forgotten by him, but then his face tightened, as if he suddenly remembered something, he grabbed the bamboo pipe, hurriedly opened it, and saw a line of small words written on it: "The caged bird has been stolen, and its whereabouts are unknown!" ”

Wu Chengsi was shocked, clutched the note, and said continuously: "How is it possible? How can it be? For more than ten years, he has been very peaceful, how could he escape for no reason? Wrong! In the palace, there must be something wrong in the palace! cough cough cough ......"

Zhang Jiafu hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, what happened?" ”

Wu Chengsi said with a gloomy face: "King Luling has escaped from Huangzhuling!" ”

Zhang Jiafu was taken aback and lost his voice: "How is it possible?" Where could he flee, and how could he escape? Who helped him escape? Yes! Unless it's ......"

Wu Chengsi forcibly endured his cough, and his face was swollen red: "That's right! There is only one possibility! This is the means of this royal aunt. ”

Zhang Jiafu said in a panic: "Lord Wang, what can I do about this?" ”

Wu Chengsi sneered: "What should I do? Let him die, of course! When he's dead, nothing will happen! ”

Wu Chengsi turned his head to the chief steward and said, "Immediately send five people, no!" Ten people, send all our people out, whether it is a waterway or a dry road, all the roads leading from Fangzhou to the capital must be checked, find them, and kill them! ”

The chief steward is obviously also Wu Chenghe's always used confidant, he knows a lot of inside information, he was not surprised when he heard this, nodded calmly, and quietly withdrew.

Wu Chengsi thought about it, lifted the quilt, Zhang Jiafu hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and asked, "Lord Wang, what do you want to do?" ”

Wu Chengsi said: "I want to go to see Wu Sansi immediately, I also want to convene a clan meeting, this matter is not only about me, I must use the power of the entire Wu clan, and I must prevent him from returning to the capital!" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Wu Sansi's face was ruddy, he burped, and a mouthful of wine came to his face, causing Wu Chengsi to frown and cough non-stop.

Wu Sansi said in a strange manner: "The sun is coming out in the west?" I heard that His Royal Highness King Liang occasionally contracted a cold and was unwell, you are not in the mansion to give birth and recuperate, what are you doing in this palace? ”

Wu Chengsi looked at the full hall of singers who had just retreated to the side in disgust, and said viciously: "Leave and right!" ”

Wu Sansi waved his hand nonchalantly, and the singer and musician immediately retreated like a tide, and the hall was empty.

Wu Sansi said lazily: "Okay, let's say, what's the matter?" ”

Wu Chengsi covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and said with a slight hoarseness: "Li Xian...... Escaped from Fangzhou Huangzhuling! ”

Wu San was stunned for a moment, and said blankly: "What? ”

Wu Chengji was furious, slammed the table hard, and roared, "Are you deaf? Li Xian escaped! Li Xian, King of Luling...... cough cough cough cough ...... Escaped! How dare he run away, you say? How could he ...... Ahem...... Escape? This is clearly my aunt's idea, and my aunt has changed her hexagram and changed her hexagram! ”

Wu Sansi seemed to be stunned, and sat there staring at his eyes without speaking.

Wu Chengsi said: "This matter is not only about me, but also about you, and about our entire Wu clan. Cough! I came here in person just to say this to you, you know? ”

Wu Sansi nodded stunnedly, and Wu Chengsi said: "What should I do, you can do it!" After saying that, Wu Chengsi got up and left, and when he walked to the door, he said without looking back: "I want to hold a clan meeting, I hope this time, you will not hinder your people from participating, and ...... You can come too! ”

After speaking, Wu Chengsi coughed and went out, Wu Sansi stared straight at his back, still did not speak. A figure quietly flashed out behind the screen, looked at the door where Wu Chengsi disappeared and smiled, and said, "This tuberculosis ghost is enough to worry about." ”

Speaking of this person, it was in Hebei that he made a mess, forcing Xi to rebel and return to the Turks, and the Khitan half fled to the Turks, and made a "shocking contribution", and after returning to Beijing, he was appointed as the commander of the Kyoto garrison Wu Yizong, the pig riding general Wu Yizong!!
