In the Zichen Palace, Empress Wu's faint gaze swept over Liu Yingdao's body, and finally fell on Li Xuan, and she said lightly, "King Nanchang, you also go with you."

Li Xuan didn't have time to hesitate, and immediately solemnly arched his hand and said, "The minister obeys the order."

"Go ahead!" As soon as Empress Wu waved his hand, Li Xuan and Liu Yingdao immediately retreated.

It wasn't until he reached the outside of the hall that the corners of Li Xuan's mouth twitched a little.

He really didn't want to participate in this kind of thing that was closely related to the change of Xuanwu Gate, but under the martial queen Chrysostom, he couldn't refuse at all.

The tall and magnificent Zichen Palace, solemn and majestic, weighed heavily on the hearts of everyone inside and outside.

In the Zichen Palace, Empress Wusen's cold gaze looked at Pei Xingjian and Pei Yan.

The two of them immediately gave up their hands, and then they heard the Empress Wu say coldly: "You two also step down, you must do what you need to do well, those messes before, I don't want to see them again...... If there is another similar thing when the army conquers Tibet, there will be no need to keep the heads of the two of you."

"The minister is guilty." Pei Xingjian and Pei Yan immediately bowed down again.

In this case, the two of them do have responsibility that cannot be shirked.

Especially from this incident, it can be seen how strong the penetration power of the East Sea King is between the government and the opposition, and how crazy it is.

With a wave of his sleeves, Pei Xingjian and Pei Yan immediately withdrew from the Zichen Palace.

However, at the moment when they were about to step out of the palace gate, Empress Wu's voice sounded again: "Pei Qing, be more tolerant of young people, don't be harsh in everything, and don't slander them at will, once they are bad, it is very likely to ruin their lives."

Pei Yan glanced at Pei Xingjian, then bowed back and said in a deep voice, "The minister knows that he is wrong."

"Go ahead." Empress Wu waved his hand, and Pei Yan slowly withdrew from the hall with a heavy face.

In the main hall, everything fell silent again.

At this time, Empress Wu's voice sounded faintly: "Why do you say, some people are obviously incompetent, but they can't see that others are better than themselves, and they can't see others dare to do things more than themselves...... There are many slanders against a young man."

Thinking of Pei Yan, a trace of impatience immediately flashed in Empress Wu's eyes.

After the curtain, Ming Chongyan walked out slowly, and then arched his hand to the martial queen, "The minister is guilty."

Hearing Ming Chongyan say this, Empress Wu was slightly stunned, and then suddenly said, "It's none of your business."

Ming Chongyan smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "Queen of Heaven, the matter of the left Xiao Wei Zhonglang and the right Wei Zhonglang is indeed mishandled by the minister, the minister has long seen the risks involved, but he is afraid to deal with it, so he can only entrust it to others...... If it weren't for the fact that the King of Nanchang really found the left guard and the right guard, I am afraid that there would be some turmoil inside and outside the government and the opposition."

If even one of the two people, Ashina Nishulu and Ashna Gana, escapes, the risk of the re-establishment of the Turkic Khanate will be greatly increased, and the Tang Dynasty will be greatly passive in the entire overall strategy.

Empress Wu shook her head and said indifferently: "Although you are at fault, the fault is not here, because the person you recommended helped you find the person back, and this palace can be regarded as you have found the person back, and there is no fault in this matter, what you really did wrong is that you have not been able to figure out how large the scale of the East Sea King's infiltration in the six departments, nine temples and five prisons is."

Empress Wu's final accusation made Ming Chongyan powerless to refute at all.

In fact, Ming Chongyan discovered Ashina Nishulu and Ashina Gana earlier than Li Xuan that they had escaped by borrowing the officials and horses of the Military Department and the Criminal Department, and even Wuhou saw Ashina Gana walk out of Pei Xingjian's mansion with his own eyes.

But he couldn't look closely, he couldn't see the danger in it.

One is the secretary of the military department and the other is the secretary of the criminal department, even if one of the two moves, it will cause great turmoil in the government and the opposition.

Not to mention that the two of them are out of the Pei family in Hedong together, if the two really have an accident at the same time, those families in Hedong will tear him apart.

In addition, at that time, Ashina Nishulu and Ashina Gana had already escaped from Chang'an and fled to the north.

Time is pressing, and all Ming Chongyan can really do is order

The counties of Gannan in northern Shaanxi have stepped up their scrutiny.

Everyone knows that Ashina Nishulu and Ashina Gana will inevitably walk between the mountains and forests, but the mountains and forests of Gannan in northern Shaanxi are vast, and even Ming Chongyan can't judge which way they will go.

What's more, they may not necessarily go to Gannan in northern Shaanxi, take a detour to Luoyang Youzhou, or go directly to Yizhou and Tubo.

Although it is far away, it will definitely be able to return to the Turks.

Although Ming Chongyan had a lot of people on his hands, he had no confidence in letting him capture all the people before the Turks fled back to the steppe in an uncertain direction.

Coupled with the calculations involving Pei Xingjian and Pei Yan, Tubo and the King of the East China Sea, even Ming Chongyan felt very tricky in this situation, but the only solution to this matter was to quickly arrest people back in two or three days.

He wasn't so sure.

Under the questioning of Empress Wu, Ming Chongyan directly recommended Li Xuan.

What Empress Wu said was right, Li Xuan arrested the person back, and he, the recommender, naturally had no merit.

As for what his intentions were in the first place, Empress Wu didn't care.

Li Xuan captured the person back, so Ming Chongyan and Li Xuan have already been rewarded; If Li Xuan didn't get anyone back, then he and Ming Chongyan would have to be punished together.

Even Ming Chongyan is a little heavier.

"The minister is guilty, the minister really didn't expect that so many people would be involved with the king of the East China Sea, let alone that he turned out to be the descendant of Prince Yin." In the end, Ming Chongyan's face was already a little embarrassed.

The fact that the King of the East China Sea is a descendant of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng has changed too many things, and it has also made many people clearly understand the seriousness of this matter, especially the potential power of the King of the East China Sea in the court is more like a stinger inserted in the waist.

"Then check, check well, when Prince Yin's family was executed, if this palace remembers correctly, there was a palace concubine who was pregnant, and then a woman was born, so he was not punished, but if a boy was born at that time, but he was replaced with a girl, then this matter is a little terrible in the long run." Empress Wu's brows furrowed, and the murderous aura flashed in her eyes.

"Obey." Ming Chongyan knew too well that this matter was a threat to the DPRK.

Even if the father of the king of Nanchang, Peng Siwang Li Yuanze, was still alive, he was only the concubine of Gaozu and could not pose a threat to the emperor at all.

But as the son of Li Jiancheng, the hidden prince of Emperor Taizong's brother-in-law, it is completely different.

Because he is the closest blood relationship to the emperor except for the crown prince Li Xian, the British king Li Xian and the prime minister Li Dan, even if he stands there, there will be countless careerists gathering around him.

Although the royal family was wary of the kings, it was even more wary of the descendants of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng.

Don't look at Li Jiancheng has been dead for nearly fifty years, but his influence still exists, especially since his death, the hidden princess Zheng Guanyin raised five daughters for him, and all five daughters later married.

Although there are good and bad, they are not ordinary people who are married.

As long as the means are linked, many people will be pulled over, and after decades of painstaking management, how big is this network?

No wonder the Tianyin Church has revived, it turns out that the King of the East China Sea is the real person behind everything.

It's scary to think about.

"By the way, how are you going to end the matter of Qiu Shenqiu?" Empress Wu raised her head and looked at Ming Chongyan with a cold gaze.

Qiu Shenqi is dead, Ming Chongyan did not hide it from Empress Wu, as soon as he returned to the court, he immediately reported this matter to Empress Wu.

"The minister originally wanted to use this incident to make Zhonglang General able to give me a good reputation for dying fighting for the country, and then bury me in a grand manner, after all, my colleagues are ...... I just didn't expect that things would go wrong from the beginning." Ming Chongyan's voice was low.

From the very beginning, he found that the person he was chasing was actually just a stand-in, and Ming Chongyan understood that it was not that he calculated others, but that others calculated him.

"Then this matter, you go and discuss with Pei Shangshu to deal with it, this winter he is going to patrol the northern land, by the way, find a credit to Qiu Shenxuan, he died in official business after all, Your Majesty and Empress Ben will not treat him badly." Empress Wu

Speaking of this, his face suddenly became solemn, and he looked at Ming Chongyan and asked, "The remnants of the Yang God of the Empress have not been able to be found, and the hidden doctor can't wait."

"The Queen of Heaven, this good medicine primer, it's not that you can find it if you find it, and no one knows where the Queen is hiding now, the one who appeared in the Valley of the Immortals that day, although on the surface there are only the Tubo National Master Gu Moluo, no life and no anger, Qiu Huan, the master of the Vientiane Pavilion, Su Lianyu, the palace master of the Heavenly Desire Palace, and Yun Hebi of the Demon Extreme Sect, but there are more people who come from the places that cannot be seen." Ming Chongyan's face instantly became embarrassed.

"That's Mingqing's business, if Mingqing can't do this, he can also let the king of Nanchang do it later, presumably he will be more dedicated." Empress Wu's expression was already a little cold.

Ming Chongyan immediately surrendered his hand and said, "I heard that every sect of the Demon Sect is extinct, and there will definitely be a follow-up ascension ceremony after that, if it is correct, it should be the beginning of the lunar month."

"Go ahead and do it, if you can't get it this time, you won't have to come back." Empress Wu lowered her head coldly.

"Whoa!" Ming Chongyan immediately retreated.

Looking at the back of Ming Chongyan retreating, Empress Wu's face was indifferent and terrifying.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps sounded, and two crimson figures appeared under the side door at the same time.

Writings Lang Yuan Wanqing, Zuo Shi Fan Bing.

North Gate Bachelor II.

Empress Wu didn't look at the two of them at all, and asked directly, "Has the matter been clarified?"

Yuan Wanqing took a step forward and arched his hand and said, "After returning to the heavens, it has been found out that it is Pei Shangshu who impeached the county prince of Wenxi."

Wen Xixianggong is Pei Xingjian, Pei Shangshu, and Pei Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

"He was crazy, knowing that Tubo wanted to see chaos in the DPRK and China, he even instigated his comrades like this and impeached the military department...... Did he really think that without Pei Xingjian, he would be able to deal with the war in Tibet?" Empress Wu's breathing suddenly became heavy, and then with an angry wave of her hand, the row of pieces standing on the table was immediately swept down.

This entire column of chapters is all impeached by Pei Xingjian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and none of them are impeached by Pei Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Knowing that all this was a ploy of the Tubo people, Pei Yan still jumped in without hesitation, just to provoke a dispute with Pei Xingjian.

"Queen of Heaven, I heard that at the wedding banquet at Zuo Xiang's house that day, Pei Shangshu and Wenxi County Prince, because the king of Nanchang had a mixture, maybe after that, he was unwilling." Yuan Wanqing was very cautious in his words, and he would never mention Pei Yan's narrow-mindedness.

Empress Wu glanced at Yuan Wanqing coldly, and said in a cold voice: "This incident, the king of Nanchang noticed at first glance that there was something strange behind this matter, but he still accepted the order of the queen without hesitation, and successfully arrested the people, and tried his best to avoid disputes between the court and China, but what about people, knowing this, but still holding on to it, what does he want to do?"

"Pei Shangshu is just trying to be safe." Yuan Wanqing reluctantly explained for Pei Yan.

"Pass the word to Pei Yan, but if his character doesn't change, then don't think about anything else." Empress Wu directly shook it off, and Yuan Wanqing's face suddenly became embarrassed, but he still gave up his hand and said, "The minister obeys the order."

Empress Wu's heart finally calmed down a bit, and continued, "Pei Yan is in charge of that matter, let him hurry up."

"Whoa!"

At this moment, a slight and rapid footstep came from the side.

When Empress Wu turned around, a secret book had been placed on the table.

Empress Wu opened it and looked at it, her face changed slightly, and then she looked at Yuan Wanqing and Fan Lubing and said, "Di Renjie of Dali Temple, Liu Guangye confirmed that he was hanged after being drunk, and then faked the suicide scene...... He didn't really want to die, but as a burden, he had to die."

Yuan Wanqing and Fan Lubing glanced at each other, their faces were not relaxed at all, but with some solemnity.

"Queen of Heaven, if Liu Guangye was manipulated, then how many people in the entire court have been manipulated by the King of the East China Sea? ，」
