The moment he stepped into the palace, Li Qinzai understood that Empress Wu wanted to use the assassination case to do something, and she wanted to do something big.

A few years ago, the abolition of Wang Liwu, which shook the world, was finally settled under the joint promotion of Li Zhi and Empress Wu, and the couple slapped the family gate valve in the face.

With this matter as the dividing line, the relationship between the Heavenly Family and the family has become more stiff since then, but the benefits are also obvious, the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty has gone through three generations of emperors, and after the abolition of Wang Liwu, the imperial power has never been concentrated.

Today's between the heavenly family and the family, is a protracted game, mutual interests coexist and opposed, above the court, the Son of Heaven must not only reuse the children of the family, but also beware of the children of the family.

As for the family, they are not only dissatisfied with the Son of Heaven, but they dare not express their dissatisfaction publicly, and they have to sing praises and express their loyalty to the Son of Heaven on the surface.

In terms of interests, he had to follow the decree of the Son of Heaven and adjust it at any time, and it was no longer like in the Wude and Zhenguan periods, which openly violated the decrees of the central court at the local level.

The relationship is very complicated, there are also enemies and friends, and there are also enmities and hatreds, and in places that are invisible to the world, there are not only the repeated intertwining of interests, but also the opposition of hatred and resentment.

And once the two sides really start playing, some ordinary characters next to each other will often be ground into a pulp.

The size is so large that an elephant sneezing is a catastrophe for ants.

Therefore, Li Qinzai did not dare to get involved, and the grandson of the British Gong could run rampant in Chang'an, but in the eyes of the heavenly family and the real family gatekeeper, it was not enough to see it, unless it was Li Tao himself.

Li Qinzai's real identity and weight are just the uncle of Weinan County, and the young superintendent of the Ordnance Prison.

This identity is placed in the court, what is it?

It's nothing.

The Heavenly Family and the Family started to move, and any fart could blow him to pieces.

Judging from the tone of Empress Wu, this queen lady seems to be still unsatisfied with suppressing the family, and the queen has been honest for a few years, and now she wants to do it to the family again.

And the excuse for her action was the assassination of Li Qinzai.

The atmosphere in the hall was inexplicably solemn, and through the bead curtain, Empress Wu could feel Li Qinzai's resistance.

She knew that what he resisted was that this matter was swept into the court, and then expanded infinitely, and he became the center of the storm.

You sighed, and Empress Wu said: "Jing Chu, Your Majesty and the palace attach great importance to you, you are a talent for the Tang Dynasty, and you are a talent like you, Your Majesty and the palace will not harm you in public or private." ”

Li Qinzai lowered his head and said: "Thank you Your Majesty and the Empress for favoring me, I dare not be ashamed." ”

Empress Wu said again: "The assassination case didn't have to involve you, Your Majesty and the palace want to protect you, let you teach in Ganjingzhuang with peace of mind, be a teacher who does not fight or rob, and occasionally get some novelties to add wings to the Tang Dynasty......."

"But, no. It's all here. Next year is the year of the Tang Dynasty's scientific expedition, and now there are many families who are active up and down, they wander around the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, and keep giving His Majesty a recital, recommending talents in the gate, but turning a blind eye to next year's scientific expedition. ”

Empress Wu suddenly aggravated her tone and said: "Scientific research is a national policy that the Tang Dynasty must implement, it must replace the family's recommendation system, and leave a chance for the children of the world's poor families to come ahead, do you understand Jing Chu?" ”

Li Qinzai understood.

Before the scientific examination next year, Empress Wu must find a reason to beat the family hard, so that the family will be honest, so as not to jump up and down before and after the scientific examination, interfere with the results of the scientific examination, and destroy the imperial examination system that Li Zhi and Empress Wu fully implemented.

At this time, the assassination occurred, and it was a godsend for the Heavenly Family.

The Taiyuan Wang clan took a stupid step and finally let the heavenly family seize the opportunity.

After figuring out this joint, Li Qinzai understood the purpose of Empress Wu's summoning him.

Sighing secretly, Li Qinzai asked, "The minister understands, I don't know what Your Majesty and the Empress send?" ”

Empress Wu was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "The Wang family's secret assassination of the important ministers of the court is a big deal, but it is not big enough, the disturbance is only limited to Ganjingzhuang, and no one in the court even knows about it, which is not enough." ”

Li Qinzai understood again.

The matter is not big enough, the Son of Heaven and the queen are inconvenient to do it, they always have to make a big trouble, it looks like it can't be cleaned up, and it is spread to the golden palace of the court, and everyone knows about the civil and military streets and alleys of the Manchu Dynasty, so that the Son of Heaven can take the opportunity to do it.

Otherwise, just now, if you take down several members of the Wang family, the result of a torture will not be able to convince the public, and the Son of Heaven will not be able to use this result to do anything to the family.

And to make a big deal and look at the world, only Li Qinzai is suitable.

Because he is the party to the assassination, the victim, and the notorious bastard of Chang'an City, who can't stand any bird's spirit.

Who else is better suited to make trouble than Lee Chin-jae?

Empress Wu stared at his face through the bead curtain, and said softly: "Jing Chu, this palace is not afraid to tell you frankly that in this matter, you are a chess piece, but not an outcast." The Heavenly Family does want to take advantage of you and you as a person, but it will never put you under the dangerous wall, do you understand the meaning of this palace? ”

Speaking of which, what else can Li Qinzai say?

The courtiers were originally pawns of the imperial power, and what made Li Qinzai feel a little relieved was that Empress Wu clearly picked up the words.

Although it is also used, if the attitude is frank and sincere, it may as well be regarded as a cooperation between the heavenly family and the courtiers.

After pondering for a long time, Li Qinzai suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, does you know about the queen's summoning of ministers today?" ”

This sentence is a very skillful question, and the implicit meaning is that this is your queen's idea, or is it a joint decision between you and your husband and wife.

The answer is very different, and it determines Lee Chin-jae's attitude to the matter.

No matter what he does, Li Qinzai does not want to be branded as a "post-party", this is death.

Empress Wu was obviously not stupid, and immediately understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "The implementation of the imperial examination is not something that can be done by this palace alone, it is a national policy advocated by His Majesty." ”

"Also, Your Majesty deliberately avoided seeing you today."

Li Qinzai sighed and said, "The minister understands, the minister will not disappoint His Majesty and the Empress." ”

Empress Wu stared at him with interest and said with a smile, "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Qinzai smiled: "It's troublesome, it's the old business of the gentleman." ”

Empress Wu took a deep look at him through the bead curtain and said with a smile: "Go, Your Majesty will take care of everything for you." ”

Li Qinzai retired and walked out of the palace gate alone.

Outside the palace gate, Liu Asi and other subordinates were waiting with horses. Seeing Li Qinzai coming out, all the tribes greeted him.

Li Qinzai stood in front of the palace gate and pondered for a long time, and asked, "Ah Si, how many people can be mobilized by our family?" ”

Liu Ah Si thought for a while and said, "It's about less than five hundred." ”

Li Qinzai nodded, although the British Duke was highly meritorious, he didn't dare to raise too many parts in the house, otherwise he would be easily suspicious.

Frowning, Li Qinzai said: "Less, pass the order, the British government is scattered all over Guanzhong, as long as they have been government soldiers, those under the age of forty will be assembled." ”

Liu Asi was taken aback: "Fifth Shaolang, ...... are you?"

Li Qinzai spread his hands: "Isn't it obvious enough?" I'm going to make trouble. ”

Liu Asi hesitated and said: "The old man is afraid that it is ......"

Li Qinzai smiled mysteriously and said, "It's okay, grandpa won't object." I dare to vouch for your head. ”

…………

Ganjingzhuang.

Cui Sheng, who returned to Chang'an, suddenly sent someone to Zhuangzi and told Cui Jie a piece of news.

In the humble courtyard, Cui Jie stood up proudly, her beautiful apricot eyes full of anger.

"Is it really the Wang family's back?"

The subordinates of the Cui family lowered their heads and said: "Yes, the hundred horsemen of Chang'an have taken the Wang clan for interrogation, and Wang Cong'an has recruited him, and the masked assassin is the dead soldier of the Taiyuan Wang clan." ”

"Was it at the behest of my father's new wife?"

The subordinate said: "The housekeeper of the Cui family reported to Shao Langjun that before the assassination, the slave of the Wang family who married the Cui family had a secret transfer, going back and forth between Taiyuan and Qingzhou. ”

Cui Jie's eyes were even more angry.

She doesn't understand the grievances between the heavenly family and the family, and she doesn't understand how deep the water behind this matter is.

She only knew that her titular stepmother almost killed her husband's life, and the Cui family was inexplicably involved in this matter.

pursed her lips, and the gentle and demure Cui Jie's eyes suddenly burst out with a sharp edge like a knife.

At this moment, she is no longer the aggrieved little daughter-in-law who is bullied by Li Qinzai everywhere in Ganjing Village.

She is the eldest lady of the Cui family in Qingzhou, the descendant of the thousand-year-old gate valve.

She has never lacked sharpness, but her long-term good upbringing has covered her edge. At this moment, she no longer hides it.

"In my name, I have ordered all the Zhuang families under the name of the Cui family in Qingzhou to assemble outside Qingzhou City with the Zhuang households."

"In addition, tell my brother, I, Cui Jie, want to go back to Qingzhou!"
