Chapter 3, Section 22 Dark Arrows

"Whoever realizes the big dream first, I know it in my life. ”

Although he tossed for a night, Seongsan did not feel sleepy, he was still full of energy and vitality. However, he knows how to stop at the moment, after all, Shangguan Wan'er is an ordinary woman, and if she tosses too hard, something will happen, so Chengshan also pretended to be sleepy and fell asleep, but his tent in the morning was extraordinarily high, which still exposed his heart.

As soon as the sky was bright, Shangguan Wan'er struggled to get out of bed, she supported her waist with her hands, walked with a limp and even trembled, her legs couldn't be put together, as painful as if she had been tortured.

Chengshan lay on the bed and glanced at her secretly, laughing secretly, but he pretended to snore, watched Wan'er change her clothes in a hurry, and then went out of the warm pavilion.

Chengshan lay on the bed and tossed and turned, reminiscing about everything last night, although he finally got happiness, but this happiness was based on Wu Sansi's matchmaking. Wu Sansi's news is also well-informed enough, Wu Zetian has just exposed Shao Hui's tricks, he smells an unusual breath from it, and he does things neatly, on the surface, he is embarrassed to push and half, but in fact, he is free to advance and retreat, and the city is very deep, if Chengshan does not borrow the slope to get off the donkey, I don't know how he will calculate himself in the future.

Chengshan deliberately slept in the warm pavilion until noon, and after getting up, the family of Liang Wangfu did their best to welcome him, served him to bathe and change clothes, and prepared sumptuous delicacies. Chengshan was also unceremonious, and those who came did not refuse, so he made up for his body.

He knew that Wu Sansi was accompanying Wu Zetian in the palace, so it was inconvenient for him to stay for a long time, and he was ready to go home.

After returning to Fengchen Mansion, he did not meet the Zhang brothers, nor did he see Gongsun Yu and Tong Shaohui, so Chengshan wandered around the garden boredly, enjoying the beautiful scenery in winter. In the evening when the lights were held, Gongsun Yu and Shao Hui came back one after another.

"Why did you come back so early today?How cool was last night?" As soon as Shao Hui entered the door, he saw Chengshan sitting there in a precarious position, and felt very funny, he was secretly scolding in his heart, what are you pretending to be serious?

"Are you driving with Wang again today?" Chengshan glanced at Shao Hui.

"That's nature. Shao Hui touched his bald head. "Another boring day. ”

"How?"

"He didn't talk to me either, he just kept me there and didn't let me run around, which was boring. Shao Hui's so-called she is Wu Zetian, and it seems that Wu Zetian has firmly grasped Shao Hui in the palm of his hand.

"Did you hear anything?"

"No, Your Majesty is still not feeling well recently, although she has taken Gongsun Yu's pill and has improved slightly, but she is still lazy and reluctant to speak, Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong brothers have always been with her every inch of the way, and even helped her review the official documents. They were talking very simply, and I couldn't understand it. ”

"I also saw Shangguan Wan'er in the morning, she seemed very tired, and her walking was a little abnormal, and after a few things back, she retreated. Shao Hui glanced at Chengshan and seemed very disdainful.

Wu Sansi also came, he just asked for a greeting, and he looked like he was submissive. His Majesty seemed very pleased to see him, and chatted with him a few more times, and then did not summon any more people. The crown prince and the king also came to greet him, but His Majesty avoided him, and several ministers asked to see him, but he couldn't hear an echo. ”

"You've been there?" Seongsan thought amused.

"Of course, how dare I run around without His Majesty's consent?" I have to sit there all the time, it really tires me to death!" Shao Hui muttered, stretching his arm and turning his head. "How can you be so carefree and merry!"

Chengshan smiled without saying a word, and he glanced at Gongsun Yu.

"What are you doing today?"

"I went to the hospital. I still met Yuan Yijie in that corner of the corner. ”

"Did he give you back the Youling White Jade Bracelet?" Shao Hui was relieved when he heard it.

"Nope. ”

"Why!" Shao Hui was a little unhappy, "How can this guy talk without words?"

"When I took the car to the Shubunkan last night, he also threw me a note asking me to return his treasure. Chengshan suddenly remembered this.

"Yes, that's why he came. Gongsun Yu nodded. "He's found out where he came from, and he's getting revenge. ”

"Really!" Chengshan was a little surprised. "He is wearing a Youling white jade bracelet and can be invulnerable, in case someone else finds out, won't we be in trouble?"

"Exactly. Gongsun Yu frowned slightly, he was also worried about this matter.

"We might as well help him avenge him, and when he achieves his goal, he will naturally return it to me, and avoid the opportunity for him to be exposed. Shao Hui is whimsical again.

"It's not that simple! We can't be involved, you have to be mentally prepared. Gongsun Yu glared at Shao Hui.

"What the hell is going on? Who killed his parents?" Seongsan was a little curious.

"It all started 20 years ago. Gongsun Yu straightened out his thoughts.

It turned out that in the first month of the first year of the heir, that is, in 684 AD, after Zhongzong Li Xian ascended the throne, Wei Shi was established as the queen, and the queen's father Wei Xuanzhen, who joined the army in Puzhou, was promoted to the assassin of Yuzhou. It's not fun to let his father-in-law be a assassin, and Li Xian wants his father-in-law to be promoted to a waiter. Zhongshu ordered Pei Yan to insist on opposing it, disagreeing with the emperor's opinion, saying that it was illegal.

Zhongzong was furious when he heard this, and said: "Why should I hand over the whole world to Wei Xuanzhen, is it rare to have a servant?" Pei Yan was very frightened and reported this matter to the Empress Dowager Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian listened, and on February 6, he summoned hundreds of officials to the Qianyuan Palace, and let Pei Yan, Liu Yanzhi, Yulin generals Cheng Wuting, and Zhang Qianqiao lead troops into the palace, announcing the order to abolish the throne of Zhongzong Li Xian and demote him to the king of Luling.

Li Xian was inexplicable, he asked, "What is my crime?" Wu Zetian said: "You actually dare to give the world to Wei Xuanzhen, isn't this still a crime?" So Li Xian was imprisoned, and his father-in-law Wei Xuanzhen's family was exiled to various places.

Things don't seem to stop there. Less than a month later, more than a dozen flying cavalry soldiers who participated in the coup d'Γ©tat drank in the shop, and some of them said: "I knew that there was no reward for entering the palace and abolishing the emperor, so it was better to serve the king of Luling." "At that time, there was a person who secretly went out to inform, and before the dozen or so flying cavalry soldiers had finished drinking, they were all arrested and imprisoned in Yulin Prison. The person who spoke was beheaded, and the others were all hanged for not reporting it, and the informant was awarded the official position of Wupin.

Yuan Yijie's parents were the commanders of these flying cavalry soldiers, and he was also convicted and imprisoned for failing to discipline his subordinates. He had offended people before, but now he was condemned to accuse him of being an accomplice and put to death. Their entire family was exiled, and only Yuan Yijie was secretly protected by Bailixuan and stayed in Luoyang City. Gongsun Yu said it very succinctly.

"Isn't this a death wrong?" Shao Hui was a little surprised, he didn't expect that whistleblowing during Wu Zetian's period would be so popular.

"That's why I'll let you talk less, and I don't know when the listeners will catch you, and then you'll be speechless!"

"Could it be that Baili Xuan instigated others to tell the truth?" Chengshan had been listening carefully to Gongsun Yu's words, and he felt that there must be something else wrong with this matter.

"That's right, it's him. Yuan Yijie has not found out yet. Gongsun Yu nodded and continued. "Do you remember that Yuan Yijie said that there was an official's servant who thought he was familiar, and this official was the informant at that time, and his servant was a relative of his family, and he had seen Yuan Yijie's parents, so he remembered their appearance. After seeing Yuan Yijie that day, the servant went back to report to the official, the official was a thief, and he attacked first, and then repeated the old trick to frame Yuan Yijie for having an affair with the prince, and was ready to help the prince seize the throne. Therefore, the palace sent several Tiangang 36 lieutenants to encircle and suppress Yuan Yijie, and knew his relationship with Bailixuan, and raided Bailixuan's Huirentang. ”

"I see, will this matter get bigger and bigger?" Shao Hui began to get anxious.

Not necessarily. Gongsun Yu paused. Although it is said that the trend of whistleblowing is prevalent, but Wu Zetian does not want to make waves again, after all, she has killed several princes, and now she is also over eighty years old, if she makes this matter bigger now, if she kills the prince by mistake, how can she have to pay for the loss? Therefore, she only sent someone to kill Yuan Yijie, and did not plan to move the crown prince. ”

"Yes. The ministers of the court also did not seem to want the matter to expand. Chengshan analyzed on the side, he also found some clues from the official documents of the Xiuwen Hall in the past few days, and the officials in the court also seemed to want to make big things small and small things, just arrange to raid a pharmacy and hunt down a school captain, if it was a few years earlier, this matter might be endless.

"Do we need to rescue Bailixuan?" Shao Hui was in a brain teaser again.

"Didn't I say, don't interfere with what's happening here, why did you forget it so quickly?" Gongsun Yu glanced at Shao Hui, he felt that this fake monk was really forgetful.

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, where is the loess does not bury people? He is all Huiling Immortal Venerable, how can he need our help? He has his own way to solve the difficulty, we just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”

"What does this mean? Could it be that there will be a power struggle within the spirit collector?" Shao Hui was so curious.

"Just you talk a lot!" Chengshan looked a little impatient, don't look at the ancient people few, but things are not simple at all. The reason why he is reluctant to intervene is because there are so many things and messes here.

"I'm concerned about the Youling White Jade Bracelet, don't you want to come back?" Shao Hui was a little unconvinced.

"That's right, we have to come. Gongsun Yu nodded. "But you can't rush it. In case Yuan Yijie finds out that Bailixuan is the mastermind behind the scenes, he may not be able to control his emotions and spoil Bailixuan's big thing, which is why Bailixuan has not let him be enlightened. ”

"I see. Shao Hui has always wondered why Bailixuan didn't believe Yuan Yijie, he, a fake monk who didn't know anything, was able to enter the room of "making something out of nothing", but Yuan Yijie, who was the son of Bailixuan, could only wait outside the door. The difference is too stark to be true.

"What did Yuan Yijie come to you for?"

"He asked us to help rescue Bailixuan. ”
