Empress Dowager Wu's intense rhythm of proclaiming the emperor made the kings uneasy and resisted. Li Chong, the king of Langya, took the lead in raising troops on the grounds that the Empress Dowager Wu sought to seize Li Tang Sheji and imprisoned the emperor, and the kings had already reached a consensus in private, so they responded to the call of the people, and the army of King Qin was like a broken bamboo, and the limelight was very strong at first, but unfortunately it was said by Wan'er, and the kings did not work together, and some of the children of the clan even held a wait-and-see attitude, and even promised too much time to send troops but betrayed their promises and turned against each other. Empress Dowager Wu dispatched well, appointed the general Koji Chongyu as the general of the Chinese army, Xia Guanshang Shucen Changqian as the general manager of the rear army, Fengge squire Zhang Guangfu as the commander, led hundreds of thousands of troops to crusade, not to mention these good generals and elite soldiers, just in terms of quantity, has an absolute advantage, soon the evil king of Lang Li Chong was defeated and killed, his father Yue Wang Li Zhen committed suicide by poisoning, and the rest of those involved were all killed. Empress Dowager Wu was murderous, and instructed the interrogators to frame Li Shangjin, the son of Li Zhi and the palace man Yang, and Li Sujie, the son of Xiao Shufei, as Li Chong's comrades, and killed the two kings.

Towards the end of this killing, Zhou Xing, the Qiu official in charge of the prison, came to report that Li Chong's rebellion had slipped through the net.

Empress Dowager Wu was having a private meeting with Xue Huaiyi, and Wan'er stopped Zhou Xing.

"Zhou Shilang, since he has slipped through the net, it must be a small fish and shrimp, since it is a small role that does not make a climate, why should Shilang kill it all?" Wan'er was worried that these cool officials were wantonly killing innocents under the pretext, so she asked deliberately.

Zhou Xingyin smiled compassionately: "Female history, if you don't eradicate the roots, there will be endless troubles in the future, such a simple truth, I don't think Zhou needs to say more." ”

"Does the squire have real evidence? The children of the clan surnamed Li should always be fearful, they can't arbitrarily commit crimes for the sake of favoring others, Zhou Shilang should always leave an extra way for himself to do things, in the final analysis, we are all people who are ministers and servants, whether it is surnamed Li or surnamed Wu, they are the sky on their heads, not the clouds floating around. Wan'er asked in a deep voice, showing a determination that did not match her age.

"Nushi, is this questioning Zhou's ability to handle cases?" Zhou Xingyi pursed his lips, the smile was still there, but it was obviously not very friendly, "Before Princess Changle committed suicide, she said, 'People and ministers are loyal to the same country, and different are rebellious', she is the Li Tang clan, naturally she only believes in Li Tang's sky, but I am the slave of the Queen Mother, I only believe in the auspicious cloud of the Queen Mother, the so-called loyalty and disobedience are never absolute, so there is a saying that 'those who know the times are Junjie'...... Even if you are a female historian, at this time, you have ever thought about whether you have already rebelled against your ancestors? ”

Wan'er's face changed slightly, she understood Zhou Xing's hint, her grandfather Shangguan Yi was loyal to Li Tang, but she was loyal to the Empress Dowager Wu before and after the saddle, what is this not a rebellion against the ancestors? However, Wan'er wouldn't expect someone like Zhou Xing to understand her mind, so she smiled coolly, "After listening to Zhou Shilang's teaching, Wan'er is really open, but I don't know who the fish that Shilang is referring to are who are the fish that slipped through the net?" It's worth the painstaking effort. ”

Zhou Xing said mysteriously: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the female history, Zhou Mou is definitely not a member of the clan this time, but it's not unrelated." ”

"Oh?" Wan'er blinked and laughed briefly, "Who is sacred?" Sounds like a hidden man. ”

"What the female history said is true, it is indeed secretive." Zhou Xing continued to sell Guanzi.

"When did the squire become so unrelenting? I've heard that the squire is a resolute man who is quick and decisive. Wan'er sighed deliberately, "It seems that he is also a worried person who is scrupling and scruples." ”

Zhou Xing laughed, he still knew such a radical method, but in the face of a smart and beautiful woman like Wan'er, his tone loosened: "Jeju Assassin Shi Xue Yi." ”

Wan'er's heart sank suddenly, and her voice sank to the bottom, "Shilang said carefully, he is Xue Yuma's eldest brother, and Princess Taiping is his younger sister-in-law...... Everyone in the palace knows that the queen mother is especially fond of the princess, if there is no ironclad evidence, isn't the waiter embarrassed the queen mother? ”

Zhou Xing pondered for a while, and used a disdainful tone, "Is Xue Yi's handwritten letter to Li Chong ironclad evidence?" He recruited troops for Li Chong behind his back in Jeju, is it ironclad evidence? He served as a liaison among various princes and princes, and plotted rebellion in the name of gatherings, is this ironclad evidence? After a few rhetorical questions, he paused, and then continued, "But Xue Yi is quite wise, and he did things tightly and without leaving a handle, and almost exonerated him, but fortunately, Skynet was restored, his letter was not burned out in the charcoal basin, and the person who connected with him remembered his voice——"

Wan'er interrupted him: "The squire has already arrested Xue Tingshi?" ”

"Exactly." Zhou Xing was triumphant, "If there is no one in the shadow, how dare I disturb the Queen Mother?" ”

"This matter is very important, if Zhou Shilang only wants to invite credit, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, the Queen Mother and the princess don't say it, they will hate the Shilang in their hearts, the Shilang is fair and selfless but causes the Queen Mother's mother and daughter to lose harmony, this is a thing that outweighs the loss, I hope the Shilang will think twice, don't lose big because of the small." Wan'er had the heart to protect Xue Yi, and repeatedly made the benefits and disadvantages clear for Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing seemed to be moved, and he was silent for a long time and said: "It's just that I'm willing to suppress it, and I'm afraid that Junchen will not!" Xue Huaiyi will not agree! ”

"What does this have to do with Lai Yushi and Master Xue?" Wan'er felt a little unexpected.

Zhou Xing was helpless: "Lai Junchen has been fighting with me, if I am extremely vicious in your eyes, then he is crazy, he dares to do it as a prince, not to mention the husband and brother of a princess!" That's it, the most difficult thing is the host of the White Horse Temple! There was no lack of sarcasm in his speech.

There must be something Wan'er didn't know about this, so she decided to ask clearly, "Please ask Zhou Shilang for advice, why did Master Xue and Xue Yi get along, the two are already relatives of the same clan." ”

Zhou Xing sneered: "It is the trouble caused by this same sect, Brother Xue Yi looks down on this relative who was forced to admit from the heart, of course, this is not to blame them, if I change me, I can't afford to climb this family!" It can be heard that Zhou Xing actually has a natural dislike for Xue Huaiyi.

This made Wan'er's impression of Zhou Xing change slightly, but he was still a dangerous and cold villain, Wan'er had to be on guard, "Zhou Shilang, don't report the matter of Xue Tingshi to the Queen Mother for the time being, let me think of a way, if Xue Yi can't save it, Princess Taiping and his wife, the Queen Mother's mother and daughter will be deeply troubled, and the Queen Mother uses us people, isn't it just for us to share our worries?" This is good, the worry is not reduced, but with more addition, Shilang is wise, why not open one eye and close one eye, Li Chong has also killed a lot of people in this matter, many of them are innocent, this Zhou Shilang should know this better than anyone else...... Please also do Wan'er a favor, the Queen Mother assigned me to assist in the investigation of Li Chong's rebellion, but I replied that the case has been closed, and now there is such a change, if it causes Zhu Lian, Wan'er is ashamed. ”

It's rare that Zhou Xing still has pity for the fragrance and jade, hesitated for a while, and flicked his sleeves, "Okay, just do what the female history said, I can guarantee that the news will not leak out from me, but the paper can't hold the fire, Xue Yi is in prison, but there are many eyes staring, and I hope that the female history will deal with it quickly, don't let Zhou be too embarrassed!" ”

Wan'er bowed to Zhou Xing: "Thank you Zhou Shilang." "I was inevitably anxious, thinking that I would go to Princess Taiping's mansion to explore the situation when I left the palace, but I was worried that there would be variables on the Queen Mother's side, and I was helpless for a while, so I thought calmly, the Empress Dowager Wu was the key to the problem, not to mention that Xue Huaiyi was in the palace at this time, who knew if he would make waves.

Wan'er's choice is wise, Princess Taiping's mansion is a little chaotic because of Xue Yi's arrest and imprisonment, Xue Shao, who has always been steady and calm, is full of grief and anger, Taiping empathizes, and is in an extremely depressed mood, thinking about entering the palace to ask for leniency, but was stopped by Xue Shao, Taiping is angry and anxious, accusing him of only caring about integrity and ignoring his brother's life! Xue Shao said that he was suffering, took Taiping's hand, and replied in a low voice that everything was in vain. Taiping didn't understand what he meant, and he refused to elaborate further, the two were deadlocked, and the hearts that had just been close were separated by tens of thousands of miles.

And Xue Huaiyi in the palace entered the palace this time to pick the opportunity, and the Empress Dowager Wu was satisfied, so he said that there was something else important to do on this trip, and the account was in the middle, what else could not be discussed, and what could not be negotiated? Xue Huaiyi made up his mind, stroked the slippery shoulders of the Empress Dowager Wu and said, "How can there be such a noble and beautiful woman as the Empress Dowager in this world?" ”

Empress Dowager Wu was coaxed into a daze, and her face was ashamed, "As long as your mouth is sweet and you have smeared honey, I am old, and I know that I can't compare to those flowers and bones." ”

Xue Huaiyi was willing to let go of such an opportunity to please and behave, leaned over to the Empress Dowager Wu and kissed her on the lips, lay down and said slowly: "Those flowers and bones are trembling, they can't withstand the wind and rain, how can there be such a gorgeous atmosphere of peonies that have bloomed for many years like the Queen Mother!" ”

Empress Dowager Wu said with a smile: "That day you said that I was Caifeng, and today you said that I am a peony. ”

"This is a great grievance!" Xue Huaiyi was uneven, lying on the woman who had gone through vicissitudes and still had charm, "I haven't read the scriptures less, after all, in his position, Huaiyi can lose his face, but he can't shame the Queen Mother, this 'blind fool' is really sad, you know, not only am I not blind, but also pay attention to those changes everywhere for the Queen Mother, it can be said that you are wholeheartedly devoted to the Queen Mother!" ”

Empress Dowager Wu knew that he was inviting pets, so she simply did as he wanted, rubbed his back and asked, "Then what 'abnormalities' have you noticed?" Talk to me about it, and it will relieve your boredom. ”

These words hit Xue Huaiyi's heart, but he said unhurriedly: "During this period of time, the Queen Mother must have been very annoyed by Li Chong's rebellion, and I should not have mentioned this stubble, but when I thought that some people disobeyed the Yin and betrayed the trust of the Queen Mother, I was indignant in my heart. ”

"You are a monk, and you are still so casual in your mood and anger?" Empress Dowager Wu teased him and knocked on his bare head, "Quit anger, abstain from ignorance, and abstain from anger." ”

Xue Huaiyi was not pious, and said with a smile: "I have been through wine and meat, and the Buddha word remains in my heart!" ”

Empress Dowager Wu laughed for a while before straightening her color and asked, "Just now you said that someone is against the yang and the yin, must have heard something?" ”

"How can it be hearsay? What I said and what the Queen Mother listened to is all true. Xue skeptical.

Empress Dowager Wu was a little interested, and asked, "Who are they?" ”

Xue Huaiyi said shamelessly: "For example, Jeju Assassin Shi Xue Yi, although we are uncles and nephews, I will never protect him." ”

Empress Dowager Wu no longer had the slightest smile on her face, her eyes were heavy, and her face was gloomy, "What's wrong with this Xue family!" I can't stand them somewhere! Xue Qian respects me and stays away, Xue Shao regards me as a beast, I will marry Taiping to him, it was a kiss and a kiss, but he doesn't appreciate it, but now it's good, Xue Yi is actually in cahoots with Li Chong and his party! ”

Xue Huaiyi achieved his goal, and instigated from the side: "Speaking of which, it was also the incident I provoked, their Xue family looked down on me, but because of the authority of the Queen Mother, they had to accept me against their will, and I was afraid that there would be a lot of slander in my heart...... Speaking of which, I am still from a humble background, if possible, I would really like to be Feng Xiaobao for the rest of my life, but in that case, I will not be able to serve by the side of the Queen Mother, and I will be broken when I think about it! ”

Such clumsy love words moved Empress Dowager Wu, she took a deep breath and fell into Xue Huaiyi's ear, "Huaiyi, Xiaobao, no matter what it's called, it's you, you are the rain and dew given to me by God, which is precious, I won't let those vulgar people despise and slander you, you just have to rest assured." ”

Xue Huaiyi smiled secretly: Women are really still emotional, the more powerful they are, the more fragile they are, but they said: "What the Queen Mother said, I am very frightened, I am grateful for your kindness, and I can't repay it!" ”

"So, Huaiyi, go and do something for me." Empress Dowager Wu's thoughts were deep, and her eyes dimmed. Xue Huaiyi hurried closer and listened to the command, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose unconsciously. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
