Empress Wu slapped his palm on the table with a fierce face, gritting his teeth.

The candlelight in the hall flickered, Li Xuan, Di Renjie, and the invisible figure behind the curtain bowed down at the same time: "The queen of heaven is angry." ”

Empress Wu took a deep breath, then waved her hand and said: "Stand up, let's talk about it, Li Jingye is not so stupid, he should understand that if he lets the palace know that he is making trouble behind his back, tonight, a cup of poisonous wine will be given immediately." ”

"Will he be gambling, betting that His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven will not attack him during this time." Li Xuan guessed carefully.

"That's one of them." Empress Wu nodded, her eyes fell on Di Renjie's body, and she frowned.

After a while, Empress Wu suddenly spoke: "He is demonstrating, he can use assassins to assassinate Di Huaiying, and naturally he can use assassins to assassinate others...... No, he is using this means to complain, he did not fornicate with Tibet, if he fornicated with Tibet, the battle situation would definitely be worse than what he was in front of. ”

The resentment in Empress Wu's eyes had gradually dissipated, and she began to think about Li Jingye's true intentions.

Li Jingye is the grandson of Li Jie, if he really fornicates with Tibet, then with his influence in the army, it may not be easy for Datang to win this battle.

Could it be that fornicating with Tibet really wronged him?

"Diva." Li Xuan suddenly spoke at this time, interrupting Empress Wu's thoughts.

Empress Wu raised her head, looked at Li Xuan, retracted her thoughts, and asked with a serious face, "King Nanchang, what do you think?" ”

"The Queen of Heaven, Yichen thinks that the British Duke can indeed make this kind of means of killing people to avenge their grievances." Li Xuan bowed seriously, looked at Empress Wu and nodded slightly, and then continued: "But the queen of heaven, is Li Jingye really wronged, maybe he admits that he has been wronged, but in Yichen's opinion, it is definitely not the case." ”

After a slight pause, Li Xuan seriously arched his hand and said: "In the minister's opinion, Li Jingye is selfish, he will never surrender to Tubo, and do anything to do Tubo, he is more for himself, for his own future, to communicate with Tubo, use Tubo, and Tubo people are his pawns." ”

Empress Wu nodded subconsciously, and what Li Xuan said made her subconsciously agree.

Li Xuan continued to arch his hand: "What Li Jingye did, the minister thought it was for the future and official position.

At the beginning of the year, for the position of commander of the Western Front, the minister remembered that the British Duke had a fight, but it was only later that the matter of Prince Yin broke out, and finally he died down.

Imagine the queen, if the matter of Prince Yin had not broken out, what would have happened to the coach of the 12th Road of the Western Expedition this time, and the British Duke would be one of them? ”

Empress Wu's hand paused slightly, and his face instantly became ugly.

"He will cause all the other armies except him to suffer a great defeat, and he himself will use false information to ruthlessly trap the Tibetans." Li Xuan shook his head and said: "In this battle, the Tang Dynasty is defeated, Tubo is defeated, and he is the only one in the world who wins, so next, he can use this to win the center and worship the prime minister." ”

The sentence "go to the hall to pay respects" tore all the faces of Li Jingye apart in an instant.

Many things that Li Xuan didn't know all appeared in the mind of Empress Wu at this moment, and they were completely linked together with the four words "ascending to the court".

Empress Wu's face was completely gloomy.

After a long time, Empress Wu finally gritted her teeth and said, "He really deserves to die." ”

Li Xuan nodded solemnly, whether it was the Empress Wu or the Emperor, he didn't care that his subordinates obtained power through normal means.

As long as the rights are obtained through normal channels, then they must have the words loyalty and fear of the king.

However, Li Jingye's methods, all before and after, there is no fear at all, let alone loyalty.

Disloyalty, insincerity, fearlessness.

Once Li Jingye is allowed to worship the prime minister, then he can make any insidious means.

The final result must be that he alone takes over the power.

At that time, even the authority of Empress Wu and the emperor would be affected.

Even at that time, once the emperor has a case, Li Jingye manipulates the wind and rain and imitates the eldest grandson Wuji, then the whole world will fall into his hands.

Maybe after a few decades, Datang will really cease to exist.

At this moment, the killing intent in Empress Wu's heart had surged to the extreme.

Closing his eyes, Empress Wu hid his killing intent deep in his heart, turned sideways, and Empress Wu spoke directly: "Send someone to keep an eye on Li Jingye, if he has any rash moves, report it immediately, and there must be no self-assertions." ”

"Whoa!" Behind the curtain, a figure bowed slightly, and then quietly retreated.

Li Xuan and Di Renjie glanced at each other, and they both knew in their hearts that the Empress Wu was not not going to kill Li Jingye, she was beginning to prepare to completely eradicate all Li Jingye's connections.

Taking a deep breath, Empress Wu raised her head and smiled lightly, as if she had completely forgotten those things about Li Jingye.

Looking at Li Xuan, Empress Wu said directly: "The name of Xinzhou, there are several names on the ministry, the palace and His Majesty read it, and finally selected the word 'Chang', and Xinzhou will be called Changzhou in the future." ”

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said: "The minister is afraid! ”

Empress Wu waved her hand and said: "This is what you deserve, you have made a lot of meritorious contributions, and a border state assassin has even lost a little." ”

"I don't dare." Li Xuan immediately gave up his hand seriously and said sincerely: "For Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven, and serving the Tang Dynasty, it is a minister who should do his duty, how dare he invite credit." ”

Looking at Li Xuan's sincere and frightened appearance, Empress Wu said with emotion: "If Li Jingye is as loyal as you, this palace is not allowed to worry." ”

"It's the minister's incompetence that makes the queen worried." Li Xuan bowed his hand heavily.

Empress Wu waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about Changzhou, your Changzhou assassin history is decided, so long history, Sima, what do you think?" ”

"The ministers are subject to the arrangement of His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven." Li Xuan immediately gave up his hand, without exceeding the rules.

"If this palace asks you to say it, you can say it, don't be so cautious." Empress Wu was a little displeased.

"Yes!" Li Xuan took a deep breath, and then said seriously: "The position of the governor of Changzhou, the minister has indeed thought about it...... Changzhou is located in the border area, Tubo will inevitably invade, and the minister will inevitably go to the depths of Tubo to conquer, so Changzhou needs a good hand who is proficient in military and civil affairs, and when the minister is not there, he will command the overall situation......"

Li Xuan subconsciously glanced at Di Renjie beside him.

Di Renjie can be literate and martial, and he is indeed a very useful talent.

"Don't fight Di Huaiying's idea, Your Majesty and the palace, and there is a big deal for him." Empress Wu glanced at Li Xuan with some amusement.

What is Di Renjie's ability, one year in Dali Temple, and half a year in Yushitai, which has clearly demonstrated his ability in lawsuits.

A glimpse of the whole picture, Di Renjie handles some details of government affairs, and it can be seen that he is not weak in other places.

Such a talent, Empress Wu will not let it go to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan smiled slightly bitterly, and arched his hand and said, "Other than that, the minister really can't think of other ......."

Li Xuan was halfway through his words, and he was suddenly stunned.

Empress Wu suddenly became interested, looked at Li Xuan, and asked curiously: "Who do you think of, who is in your eyes and has the same ability as Di Huaiying?" ”

Li Xuan smiled slightly bitterly and said: "The minister does think of one person, but he also asks the queen of heaven to widen his hand, and the minister needs this person to be the governor of Changzhou." ”

"Who?" Empress Wu asked directly.

Li Xuan is not the kind of cronyism, the importance of a governor's history, he knows very well, and he will never recommend it at will.

Even if it was someone like Qin Ming and Laisui, he wouldn't recommend it.

What he recommended must be a talent that is not inferior to Di Renjie.

Li Xuan smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "Zuo Jinwu Wei Chief Shi Yaoyi." ”

"Yao Yi?" Empress Wu didn't have much of an impression of Yao Yi's name.

Li Xuan immediately surrendered his hand: "Queen of Heaven, Yao Yi is the brother of Shi Yao Lingzhang, the head of the British Prince's Mansion, and the father of Yao Chong, a filial piety emperor and a new science and technology scholar.

Chen and Yao Yi had contact when they were in Luoyang, and later when they inspected Zuo Jin Wuwei Zhonglang General, they also knew a lot.

This person is proficient in bows and horses, likes to read scriptures and history, has great ambitions, and is resolute in his work, and is really the best candidate for the history of the governor of Changzhou. ”

"Yao Yi, Yao Lingzhang." Empress Wu subconsciously recalled Yao Yi, she did have a slight impression, but she was not impressed.

Left Jin Wuwei.

Empress Wu's attention is more on the two Zuo Jin Wuwei generals and the two Zuo Jin Wuwei Zhong Lang generals, and the other Lang generals, Changshi, she pays less attention.

"The Yao family, the Yao family of Wuxing, the descendants of Yao Xuanye, the general of the Eastern Expedition of the Northern Zhou Dynasty." Although Empress Wu didn't care much, she quickly thought of the ancestors of the Yao family.

She really doesn't pay so much attention to Yao Yi, but she cares about Yao Lingzhang very much.

After all, Yao Lingzhang is the governor of the British Prince's Mansion that she personally selected for Li Xian, and he has the talent of a prime minister.

"Yao Chong, where have you heard of this name?" Empress Wu raised her eyebrows slightly.

Although Yao Chong is a new science and technology jinshi, his ranking is not high.

"The Queen of Heaven." Di Renjie took a step forward and arched his hand and said: "When the king of Nanchang traveled east to Hangzhou, the minister and Yao Chong saw him off together. The reflection of the river is even the reflection, and the rock bird should be silent. The wild music is a song, and the mountains and clouds are the tassels. Today, on the hills and ravines, happy little Pengying. ”

"The reflection of the river is continuous, and the rock bird should be silent." Empress Wu instantly remembered this poem, and she liked this sentence the most in the whole poem.

At the beginning, Li Xuan traveled eastward, Yang Jiong wrote a poem "Autumn Yin Shengshu Road, murderous aura surrounds Huangzhong", Song Zhiwen wrote a poem "Jiji people at the same time, Taiting Ming Sword Shoes", He Zhizhang wrote a poem "Thousands of miles of sea and city send, there is no worry about the Han Dynasty", and Yao Chong wrote a poem "On the hills and ravines today, happy little Pengying".

There is also Li Xuan's last poem, "Why don't men take Wu hooks and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures." Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis."

Li Xuan's lifelong ambition is to take Lingyan Pavilion as the top.

Empress Wu turned her head to look at Di Renjie and asked, "So, you have a good relationship with Yao Chong?" ”

"After returning to the heavens, Yao Chong is cautious and distinct, calm and discerning, handling things properly, and orderly, which is really a rare talent." Di Renjie immediately opened his mouth to praise Yao Chong.

Li Xuan stood aside, and her eyes couldn't help jumping.

Empress Wu saw it clearly in his eyes.

After Di Renjie finished praising him, Empress Wu looked at Li Xuan with a smile and asked, "King Nanchang, if you don't want to transfer Yao Yi, how about giving you Yao Chong?" ”

Li Xuan immediately raised her head in surprise, and then couldn't help but bow her hand in surprise: "Thank you, the queen of heaven." ”

"You're thanking you early." Empress Wu waved her hand directly and said: "Since Yao Yi is a talent, why don't you recommend it early, and Yao Chong, who is extremely suitable, stable, and also a rare talent, to be honest, this palace really wants to leave them all behind and ......train them well."

Li Xuan instantly felt a toothache, and he regretted mentioning Yao Yi today.

Seeing Li Xuan's appearance, Empress Wu felt even more amused, and then waved her hand and said: "Forget it, Yao Yi will make a long history for you, Yao Chong will stay in the court and be transferred to supervise the imperial history, Di Qing, you have to cultivate well." ”

Di Renjie immediately bowed his hand solemnly: "The minister's order." ”

Those who can really be recommended and taught by famous ministers will not be far behind.

The reason why Di Renjie is valued by the emperor and the Empress Wu is not only because he himself is not good, but also because he is an apprentice recommended by Yan Liben.

Now, Empress Wu hopes that Di Renjie can bring Yao Chong with him.

Yao Chong took this opportunity to enter the sight of Empress Wu.

Li Xuan thought in her heart: Ten years, is it enough for Yao Chong to be promoted to prime minister?
