Chapter 110: Wu Zetian and Xiao Qingfang

Shangyang Palace.

"Has Xiao Qingfang's traitor been found?"

"The subordinates are incompetent."

"I can't even find Xiao Qingfang, it's really incompetent." Wu Zetian reprimanded angrily.

Since Huang Chongyu revealed to Wu Zetian that Yuan Tiangang also has a female apprentice, and it is very likely that he will be in a high position in the court, Wu Zetian has locked his eyes on Xiao Qingfang and Shangguan Wan'er, the leaders of the Inner Guard Mansion, after all, there are not many women who meet this point, after more than half a year of secret investigation, Wu Zetian has been confirmed that Xiao Qingfang is Yuan Tiangang's subordinate.

The angry Wu Zetian immediately ordered Xiao Qingfang to be arrested, regardless of life or death.

What Wu Zetian didn't expect was that Xiao Qingfang learned the news one step earlier, not only slipped away in advance, but also gave Wu Zetian a big gift before leaving, and she made part of the list of internal guards public.

Most of the internal security members are performing some shady tasks, Xiao Qingfang's public list is mainly related to the ministers of the DPRK and China, the internal guards hide in the minister's house as servants, and it is normal to secretly spy on the minister, but what really causes turmoil is that some ministers' personal housekeepers are internal guards, and even their wives and concubines and even children are also internal guards.

As soon as the relevant news came out, the court exploded, especially when these news were confirmed one after another, the entire court machine collapsed, and in the morning of the dynasty, one-fifth of the ministers did not go to the court, either sick or injured......

This is only a public list, but what about those that are not?

God knows if someone around him is a member of the internal guard, think about it, even the children and wives and concubines who were closest to them will become internal guards, what is impossible.

Who doesn't have some unknown secrets, and now he suddenly discovers that these secrets may be known by Wu Zetian, so it's still a joke!

When people's hearts are scattered, it is difficult to lead the team.

In the face of this kind of problem, even a political veteran like Wu Zetian panicked and had no idea where to start, fortunately, Di Renjie, Zhang Cambodia and other important ministers came forward to appease the bureaucrats, relying on his personal prestige, he barely stabilized the situation, Wu Zetian was also very decisive, and immediately announced the reduction of the treasury's appropriation for internal guards, which can be regarded as reaching an agreement with the ministers, and the court slowly stabilized.

Although the emperor is rich all over the world, the money in the treasury is not something that the emperor can spend if he wants, it belongs to the public, and in principle, it needs to be approved and supervised.

The expenditure of the internal guard is allocated from the treasury, but under the intervention of Wu Zetian, the courtiers have no right to ask about the whereabouts and uses of this part of the funds, which is also one of the reasons why the courtiers are not at ease with the internal guards.

Although after the compromise, the courtiers still did not have the right to intervene, but the reduction of appropriations meant that there were many things that could not be carried out by the internal guard, after all, no matter what they did, they could not do without money, and the funds were reduced, and the internal guard naturally had to cut some of them.

Politics is the art of compromise.

By the time the situation in the court stabilized, more than a month had passed, Xiao Qingfang had already disappeared without a trace, after all, she had been sitting in the position of the cabinet leader of the Inner Guard Mansion for more than ten years, she knew better than anyone how the internal guard operated, plus she was in control of the snake spirit organization, and wanted to avoid the pursuit of the internal guard, it was too simple for her.

Wu Zetian sighed and said: "Forget it, you can't be completely blamed for this matter, continue to find Xiao Qingfang's whereabouts after going down, don't slack off, you know?" ”

"Yes."

"Let's go down."

……

"Phoenix, you go to Yangzhou immediately, all the internal guards in Yangzhou are under your command, and you will fully assist King Xiaoyao, and everything is under his command."

"Obey."

After Xiao Qingfang, Wu Zetian promoted another female pavilion leader of the internal guard, which is the phoenix in front of him, unlike Xiao Qingfang, the phoenix is Zhou Jianbai's apprentice, and it can even be said that Wu Zetian grew up watching, and won Wu Zetian's trust.

"You have to watch more, listen more and think less this time, understand?"

"Yes."

……

"Hmph, Huang Shengyan's wine bag and rice bag, he couldn't have imagined that I was in Luoyang, right under his nose."

"Eldest sister, although the most dangerous place is the safest place, but the body of a daughter can't sit down, the eldest sister is the soul of the snake spirit, there must be no mistakes, it is better to leave Luoyang as soon as possible."

"Xian'er, don't worry, I have my own plans, there is news from the moving spirit, Di Renjie's niece Di Ruyan will enter the Di Mansion soon, this is the most critical part of our entire plan, how are you prepared?"

"Eldest sister, rest assured, everything is ready, as soon as Di Ruyan sets off, we will take action immediately." At the beginning, outside Jinzhou City, Su Xian'er was frightened by the headless ghost, but fortunately, the blood-dripping eagle case was solved soon after, and the trick of the headless ghost was also exposed, which made Su Xian'er slowly come out of the shadows and regain the demeanor of the spirit changer.

"Well, go down and get ready."

"Yes."

"Big sister." After Su Xian'er left, a snake spirit subordinate hurriedly walked in.

"What's the matter?"

"Eldest sister, the news from the blood spirit has been lurking, as soon as the time is ripe, it will immediately take action, and the shining spirit is already in place."

"Very good, the order goes down, Jiangnan Tangkou is all under the command of the blood spirit, there must be no mistakes this time, as long as Huang Gongheng is captured, our plan will be a third of the success."

"Eldest sister, this time the Shining Spirit and the Blood Spirit shot at the same time, it must be foolproof."

"Yes, I'm absolutely convinced." Xiao Qingfang had a confident smile on her face.

"Eldest sister, all the brothers contacted according to the list have returned, and as soon as our side takes action, they will respond immediately."

During the Youzhou case, the list on Liu Jin's body was copied by Gong Quan, and this time Xiao Qingfang was going to use this list to do something more.

"Okay, this time I'm going to give Wu Zetian a flower everywhere."

"Eldest sister, is it time for us to leave Luoyang?"

"Well, let the brothers pack up, start tomorrow, evacuate Luoyang in batches, remember that you must not leave any clues for the internal guards, you must be careful."

"Eldest sister, don't worry."

"Hmm." Xiao Qingfang looked in the direction of the palace with a confident smile on her face, everything was under her control.

"Yes."

……

Iron Hands.

"Where did a little maid come from, someone actually paid two million taels." Looking at the portrait in his hand, Yuan Qi asked, two million taels is not a small amount, in the future Hangou case of the TV series, the three giants of the Yangzhou government took such a big risk, and the amount of profit per person per year was about one million taels.

"Sect Master, the other party didn't say it, but according to our investigation, this little maid is really not ordinary, we can't even find out her origin, and she has superior martial arts."

"It's good to have superior martial arts, tell him, we took this list from the Iron Hand Regiment, I want to see who this person is, it can be worth two million taels."
