Chapter 52: The Mountain Rain is Coming

"What, Your Majesty is sick?" At first hearing this, Tao Yao's heart jumped suddenly: "How is the situation?" Is it serious? ”

Shaking his head, Gao Xianzhi didn't quite understand the situation in the palace: "The specific situation was not revealed, but I just accidentally heard someone from the Tai Hospital raise his voice." During the last military drill, I only saw it from a distance through the crowd, and His Majesty's spirit seemed to be quite good at that time, but I don't know how the news came to this later. ”

How so? Tao Yao was in a trance for a while. Although she had not had many opportunities to contact Wu Cao during her year in Shendu, she was really grateful for the secret decree and sentence that person sent at the end. After all, she could feel from it that this Ninety-Five Supreme had indeed seriously considered her future at a certain moment. At that time, Wu Cao was not the high-ranking Emperor of the Great Zhou, but her elder, her great-grandmother. Whether she was doing this out of guilt for Prince Zhang Huai or not, at least, her heart and the feelings injected were real. Even for this, Tao Yao hopes that she will be safe and happy, and that she will live a long life. However, she is now sick......

"His Majesty the Emperor is an old man after all, so you shouldn't think too much." Although he didn't know the origin of Tao Yao's feelings for Wu Cao, looking at her suddenly gloomy face, Gao Xianzhi couldn't help but say comfort: "Jiren has his own heavenly blessing, if you are really worried, I will let my father pay more attention." ”

"No need, Uncle Gao is enough to worry about in God." took a deep breath to stabilize her mind, but Tao Yao's thoughts ran a little far. For some reason, she always felt that Wu Cao's illness this time was not so simple, and perhaps, there was something else hidden inside.

"The gods are unpredictable, Your Majesty's illness, I'm afraid there will be countless waves again." There was a little bit of worry hidden in the girl's clear voice, and it sounded like it was floating in the clouds: "Let's let Uncle Gao be careful, no one can say what will happen in the future." ”

Will an illness of the emperor cause chaos in the divine capital? At first, Gao Xianzhi felt that Tao Yao was worrying, although out of caution, he still handed the message to Gao Sheji, but he didn't really care much in his heart. It wasn't until later, when the situation in Shendu deteriorated, and Gao Sheji could no longer even send letters, that he realized that something had happened silently. This time, Wu Cao's illness was menacing, and he could no longer recover as before.

"I have sent the secret guards of the palace to Beijing to inquire privately, since the emperor fell ill, he only let Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi's brothers accompany him, and he usually doesn't even see outsiders. If you want to know her current physical condition, it is really difficult to reach the sky. Li Shouli let out a long sigh, and he really had a headache about the situation in front of him.

Over the years, even though he has secretly laid a lot of nails in the Shendu after recovering his identity, he has never dared to stretch his hands and feet too long because of Wu Cao's suspicions. This has led to the extremely narrow and limited relationship between the resources and intelligence at hand, so that at the critical moment, even a little bit of effective information cannot be obtained. Except that Gao Sheji is still fine now, and the army seems to be calm, he really doesn't know what other news can make him sit at home with peace of mind.

"Those two heads again?" Li Chengning frowned for the first time: "Since the past two years, Your Majesty has been very fortunate to them, and they don't even manage the affairs of the DPRK and China, but let them take advantage of the loopholes, and now they can't even get sick?" ”

Lotus Liulang Zhang Changzong was originally the favorite male pet of Princess Taiping, but later he was dedicated to Jinshang, which was already an extremely ridiculous thing, and Wu Cao was also fortunate to be favored by this man, and later accepted his brother Zhang Yizhi recommended by him, and regarded these two people as his heart, and also gave them official positions, allowing them to enter and leave the court, which once caused an uproar in the court. It's a pity that Wu Cao has always been a person who says the same, and his style of acting is completely different from that of the gentle Gaozong, and he pursues thunderous methods, so that even if the opposition of the courtiers is like a wave, she ignores it from beginning to end, and when she is in a hurry, she pulls out a few random knives and divides the corpse as a warning, and after a long time, everyone will automatically give up such useless work.

However, Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi and others figured out their aunt's thoughts, and less than half a month after Zhang Changzong took office, they rushed to the door to curry favor, and even worse, they even disregarded their status and personally led the horses for him.

Now that Emperor Wu is sick, the Zhang brothers are arrogating, and the Wu family's sons and nephews are even more impatient, it is really difficult to predict what direction the situation will develop in the future.

"According to the news from my father before, Your Majesty is now living in the Yingxian Palace in Ziwei City, but the precautions are so strict that even the Lord of the Imperial Court and the Emperor Zhang Khan are not allowed to enter to visit, and the Zhang brothers are afraid that they will not let go of such a great opportunity." Gao Xianzhi felt unhappy just by hearing these two names.

He is a walking person in the army, even if he is born in a high house, all his official positions are accumulated by military merits. However, Zhang Changzong worshiped General Yunlu as soon as he won the favor of Wu Cao, and exercised the position of General Zuo Qianniu Zhonglang, which was undoubtedly a great unfairness to the sergeants who fought bloodily on the front line. And this Lotus Liulang, not only did not know how to be grateful to Dade and was careful to restrain himself, but he was arrogant and domineering everywhere in this capacity, and he also regarded the prince as nothing, and tried to monopolize the dynasty, which is really cold, and he can't kill him quickly.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be like this." Li Chenghong has always been calm, but at this time, he became more and more calm: "His Majesty the Emperor is the only reliance of the Zhang brothers, with the ability of those two wine bags and rice bags, once Your Majesty controls the dragon Bintian, they will not be far from death." I don't know how many people in the court are looking at the emperor, but now, I think they should be the ones who are most looking forward to the emperor's goodness. After a pause, his tone was slightly deep: "It's not necessarily that other people in the Yin Hidden Divine Capital will make some moves at this time." ”

"Big brother is talking about Wu Chengsi and others?" Li Chenghuan has always had no intention of doing things, but seeing that the whole family is worried about the chaos in the gods, he naturally can't be a child anymore: "In his early years, he begged His Majesty to make him his heir several times, and he also intended to replace the crown prince. If there is no part of him in this troubled water, I will not believe it. ”

Li Shouli looked at this stubborn son since he was a child, but he was also a little relieved, after all, the children he taught in this vein are still pure-hearted. No matter what virtue you are on weekdays, you can be reliable at critical moments. Thinking about it, he had the heart to dial one or two: "Wu Chengsi is just one of the intertwined forces in the Divine Capital, that position is so tempting, it attracts the children of the Wu family to want to get a piece of the pie, so how can I have the surname Li Zonghei?" "After all, before Wu Zhou, the world was still Li Tang's, the descendants of the surname Li were not destroyed, and the old ministers who supported the Tang Dynasty were still there, and before the dust settled, everything was still unknown.

"What my father said is very true." Li Chengning nodded approvingly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is of the Gaozong bloodline, and his name is justified, if His Majesty does not explicitly depose him, he will be the logical heir." Wu Chenghe's genus is just a clown jumping beam after all. "Although the crown prince Li Xian's personality is a little cowardly, but in the end, he can be regarded as a Zhongzheng Gengjie, and he is also a well-known gentleman, as long as he is in one day, it is a big joke to want to surpass him and ascend to that position.

"Second brother, things are not as simple as you think." A clear girl's voice interjected, but several men in the hall were stunned, and then subconsciously looked towards the door.

"Child?" Li Chengyu came back to his senses, and immediately walked towards Ying Ying's sister standing by the door: "Why are you here?" ”

"What, it's a matter of the overall situation, as a member of the palace, am I not qualified to know?" Half-jokingly and half-seriously, he replied, but Tao Yaoqingling's gaze crossed him and fell on his father: "Father, what do you say? ”

Li Shouli is not an old-fashioned person, and his upbringing of Tao Yao is not the same as that of ordinary ladies, but it is more lenient than that of his three sons. He is used to telling her everything, and she will judge and analyze it for herself, and as for how much she can understand, it is all up to the daughter herself. Therefore, on this basis, he would not turn a blind eye to Tao Yao's words, and even became interested in her sentence: "Yao'er, what did you mean just now......"

With a faint smile, Tao Yao replied very vaguely: "A huge god capital, there are many descendants surnamed Li with the blood of Taizong, and even the lineage of Gaozong seems to be far more than His Royal Highness the Prince, right?" "Not to mention the Prime Minister Li Dan and the Taiping Princess Li Lingyue, even the son-in-law of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not young, let alone his own family in Chang'an City? Prince Zhang Huai was the one with the highest call for inheritance and unification.

"You mean......" Gao Xianzhi felt as if someone had suddenly choked his neck, and it suddenly became difficult for him to breathe: "Shendu...... Is it really going to change......"
