Since Wu Cao fell ill and closed the palace, Ziwei City has become the focus of the entire Shendu. Not only Princess Taiping, but many forces in the imperial city are secretly spying on that place. Yes, not long after Princess Taiping entered the city, the prime minister's mansion over there ushered in someone who reported the news.

After taking the few lines of secret letters, he quickly scanned it, and Zhang Khan Zhi, who was dressed in a crow blue suit, had a clean face, but he couldn't see too many expressions. Twisting the thin letter paper in his hand, he raised his hand and waved away his subordinates who were kneeling in front of him: "You go down, let the peripheral hands continue to watch, and report any movement immediately." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will give orders." The person who looked like a domestic servant retreated, leaving Zhang Cambodia alone in the study. After thinking for a long time, he stretched out his hand to prop up a brazier and threw the letter paper into it, until he saw that it was completely burned to ashes, he opened the door and walked out, and then after a little tidying up, he went straight to Tai**.

Seeing him come to the door in person, Li Xian was also very surprised, and while beckoning him to sit down, he couldn't help but ask: "Is there anything important for Elder Zhang Ge today?" "Otherwise, how could I rush over at this time. It's also a shame that my mother is not here now, otherwise I'm afraid there will be rumors again.

"The old minister came today to confirm the matter with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Seeing that the surroundings were empty and silent, and there were no idle people waiting to watch and interfere, Zhang Cambodia also got straight to the point: "Seeing that Your Majesty has been suffering for a long time, and his recent state seems to be getting worse, and there is no sign of improvement. Under such circumstances, I wonder if Your Highness has considered your future? ”

"In the future?" Li Xian frowned, but he didn't react much to Zhang Cambodia's words: "Your Majesty, how many winds and waves have come, this illness should not be a big deal, maybe it will be good for a while." Why did Zhang Ge Lao say such a shocking thing. "His mother is not an ordinary weak woman, she is a figure who has gone through several dynasties and has always stood at the top of the Tang Dynasty. How many princes, ministers, and marquis generals have been defeated in her hands, and now it's just a minor illness, can she still fall like this? Zhang Cambodia's person is too unfounded.

"If this happened ten or five years ago, and His Majesty the Emperor was at his peak, the old minister would never come to your Highness." Zhang Cambodia saw that he didn't care much about it, so he couldn't help but speed up his speech: "But Your Highness, no matter how powerful your mother is, she is only a person, and she will have a day when she will be old and old, and there will be times when she is powerless and involuntarily." The current situation can be said to be very critical, how many people are eyeing that position, Your Highness, you must not take it lightly at this critical juncture! ”

"Eyeing the ......" I don't know how much I listened to Zhang Cambodia's words, a trace of hesitation and struggle flashed on Li Xianqing's handsome face, and finally he just asked softly: "Elder Zhang Ge, is there someone who can't hold back anymore and starts to stretch out his hand to His Majesty?" "If that's the case...... Perhaps, it's time for him to make a move.

"Yes. Lao Chen got the news that Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping had secretly entered Ziwei City, thinking that he should have reached some agreement with Zhang Yizhi's brother. "Everyone knows Zhang Changzong's origin, and Princess Taiping has gained more favor and trust from the emperor because of this male favorite. Therefore, the fact that she was able to quietly break through the blockade and sneak into it is enough to say something. Zhang Cambodia gave all the information he had gotten, without the slightest idea of hiding his secrets: "Now that the entire Ziwei City is under the control of the Zhang brothers, if the two of them join forces, it should be easy to use some means to get to the top." ”

After all, the emperor is sick and unable to control the overall situation, the Zhang brothers have the right time and place, coupled with the identity and status of Princess Taiping, and the means and planning, to take the throne in one fell swoop is simply to find out what to get. This is also the reason why he was so anxious and rushed over as soon as he received the news.

"Taiping and those two male pets?" When Li Xian heard this, his eyes widened in surprise: "How could it be...... She...... Could it be that she was planning to murder the emperor? In his memory, Taiping's younger sister was favored by her father and mother. Unlike their godbrothers, he can really see his appreciation and love for Taiping from his mother's eyes. That kind of eyes, soft and light, are completely from the heart, and there is no hypocrisy. And Taiping himself seems to have always loved his mother, and he has never acted willfully. With such a harmonious and intimate mother-daughter relationship, will there be cracks? Taiping her, even if she wants to climb to a high position, she shouldn't do such a big rebellious thing, right?

"In the face of monstrous power, people's hearts are very variable. It's like back then, after the death of the first emperor, wasn't it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was supposed to sit in this position? I have always understood Li Xian's too indecisive temperament, even if some words are ugly, Zhang Cambodia has to say bluntly: "But what was the situation at that time, do you still remember, Your Highness?" The emperor is too selfish, and he swears to let go of his authority, so he has made you the prince of the past ten years, so there is the world of Wuzhou now! ”

"Zhang Ge is cautious!" The most painful thing to be poked in the center was cold, Li Xian's face suddenly turned pale, but he clenched his hands and coldly reprimanded: "Although the emperor is not in the palace now, this is not an impermeable wall after all." There are some words, you and I know it, in case it is spread out, we will only end up in pieces! ”

"That's why the old minister gave advice!" Zhang Cambodia jerked up the hem of his robe, and knelt down with a sad face: "Your Highness, you are the descendant of the Li family, and the blood of Emperor Taizong flows in your body, you are supreme and noble, why are you so groveling in the Wuzhou court?" Lao Chen didn't want to usurp your filial piety and disrespect to the emperor, but Li Tang's artifact can't be destroyed! In the years that His Majesty has been in power, the Wu clan has been rampant, villains are rampant, and the clan surnamed Li has lost many lives to enter, others don't know, Your Highness, don't you know? ! If the situation is allowed to develop like this, it will be difficult for Li Tang's country to be recovered, please think twice! ”

"Old Zhang Ge, what are you doing here!" Subconsciously stretched out his hand to help, Li Xian finally touched his mind with the almost tearful admonition of this loyal and upright old minister: "Li Xian knows that he has a heavy responsibility, and he never dares to slack off. However, she ...... After all, she is Lone's sister, she is also a descendant of the Li family, this ...... "If he wants to deal with his mother, it will be extremely difficult, if there is another Taiping, then he will ......
