Luoyang, under the Chengtian Gate.

A fast horse came straight from the Dingding Gate, and Jin Wuwei under the Chengtian Gate immediately got out of the way.

Galloped quickly and rushed straight to the Qianyang Palace.

"It's a military newspaper from Changzhou." Cheng Chubi's calm voice sounded in Zhao Gong's ears.

Zhao Gong immediately turned around and arched his hand: "Guangping County Prince." ”

Cheng Chubi waved his hand slightly, his eyes were still looking at the Qianyang Palace, and then said: "Since the king of Nanchang sent his troops, the interval between the military reports sent back to Luoyang has gradually become longer, but fortunately, there is still a rule, so no matter what, the battle situation on the front line is quite stable. ”

"Thank you for the reminder." Zhao Gong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Chubi smiled and said: "When the king of Nanchang was in Luoyang, he also worked with Cheng, and Commander Zhao should remember." ”

"Yes, it's the case of the Tianyin Sect, it's Dai Xiang'......" Before Zhao Gong's words were finished, a Qianniuwei in front of him had already arrived quickly and delivered an official document to Zhao Gong's hand.

Zhao Gong opened it and took a look, breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Cheng Chubi and said: "The official document said that after Da Lang had already taken Yangtong, he turned back to Qamdo, Tongtian River, and the 30,000 troops of Tanggula Pass went straight to Qamdo, and now it seems that there should be no problem in taking Qamdo." ”

"Take Yangtong and cut off the external passage of Tanggula Mountain, and the Qinling Tomb will really be isolated." Cheng Chubi nodded, and then said gently: "In another month or two, you will be able to receive the good news from the King of Nanchang." ”

"Qamdo is easy to go down, but Tanggula Mountain is difficult to enter." Zhao Gong shook his head and said, "When the time comes, it will be a bloody battle for many years." ”

"It's like Jinbei." Cheng Chubi raised his head and looked north.

The real strategic fortress in the north, in the clouds, Shuozhou, Daizhou, Yanmen Pass, Taiyuan, every place is a strategic fortress.

"In the Turkic War, the DPRK temporarily mobilized 50,000 troops from the Northland." Zhao Gong looked sideways at Cheng Chubi, frowned and said: "This matter has been discussed with the king of Nanchang, and the king of Nanchang has the opinion that 50,000 is not enough, and it is necessary to mobilize more troops from Hebei and Changluo." ”

"The king of Nanchang is insightful." Cheng Chubi nodded and said: "The matter of the grassland is important to the people, the reason why Jieli was defeated back then was because of his chaotic governance, and he intended to use the Tang system to build the grassland, and finally made a centrifugal detachment, but now, the Turks want to re-establish the country, and it is not enough to defeat a leader." ”

Defeat a boss and a new one will pop up.

The Turkic uprising will end up like a spark that will never subside.

"Therefore, to defeat the main army of the Turks, only by defeating their main force will the hearts of the people be scattered."

Cheng Chubi looked at Zhao Gong, sighed lightly, and said: "The king of Nanchang sees it very accurately, the Turks have little experience in warfare, as long as they can seize the opportunity and annihilate them in one fell swoop, then from now on, it will be difficult for the Turks to really threaten the Tang Dynasty again." ”

The Turks were defeated in one revolt and in the second revolt, each of which took a few decades to delay.

Not surprisingly, it is enough for Datang to accumulate enough victory.

……

"So, the grain and grass accumulated by the DPRK and China last year will be used on the grassland this year?" Zhao Gong casually mentioned other things.

Cheng Chubi nodded and said: "Last year, the wind and rain were smooth, and the prince was in Luoyang, Chang'an, and cleared out millions of acres of hidden fields, and this year it is not more effective." ”

"The matter of Henan Province." Zhao Gong nodded slightly, he knew that the emperor and Empress Wu had been planning for this matter since the beginning of the year.

Many people in the East Palace had already prepared in Henan Province in advance, but the prince had not arrived in Henan Province, which forced things to be delayed.

"This kind of thing can only be promoted by the prince himself." Cheng Chubi glanced up at Zhao Gong.

The two nodded slightly in tacit understanding, and no longer mentioned this extremely sensitive matter.

It was clear that the crown prince was going to be deposed, but the emperor and the empress had to let the prince promote the affairs of Henan Province and give him privileges.

Because this in itself is mutually reinforcing.

Because when the prince wants to promote Henan Province, he will offend many people, which will lead to the dissatisfaction of many people, and finally bring backlash, but these backlashes will all be consumed in the process of the prince's abolition.

The emperor and the empress will fully accept the prince's achievements, but the black cauldron is the prince's back.

He's going to be deposed anyway.

Cheng Chubi and Zhao Gong are both people who are extremely trusted by Empress Wu, so they can talk about these things.

"I heard that the British princess has often visited the queen in the palace recently." Zhao Gong suddenly brought up another matter.

"Hmm!" Cheng Chubi nodded and said, "The crown princess stayed in Chang'an, Princess Xiang stayed in Chang'an, and only the British princess came to Luoyang with her." ”

"There is a heart!" Zhao Gong couldn't help but sigh.

Someone dared to take the initiative to approach Empress Wu, it was really bold to the extreme.

Li Xian's British princess Zhao was starved to death in this palace.

"Squeak" The sound of wheels came from the front, and Zhao Gong and Cheng Chubi suddenly looked over.

Horse-drawn carriages were parked under the door, being inspected by Qianniuwei.

"It's the yellow book that Donggong pulled back from Henan Province, and now go and compare it with the numbers brought back from Chang'an, although the fields in the first year of Wude are barren, it is precisely because they are barren that they are clean...... From Wude to Zhenguan, and then from Zhenguan to the present, although it is not exhaustive, it is already the most detailed field changes that can be found. ”

Cheng Chubi sighed lightly, looked at Zhao Gong and said, "I heard that this method was taught to the crown prince by the king of Nanchang?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Gong nodded and said: "Da Lang used this method when he was a driver in Wuzhou, and later he even begged the thief Muzhou, and some families in Muzhou did too much, and they were found out, and then cleared up...... After that, all kinds of means became a system, and His Majesty stored these things in the depths of the palace, and outsiders should not take them lightly. ”

"I see." Cheng Chubi nodded lightly, looked at the vehicles under the city, and said softly: "It's a pity, many people are doing practical things, but some people regard him as a means of deception." ”

"So you have to press it tighter, the secret guards have already intervened in the matter of Henan Province, and they won't let those bastards escape." Zhao Gong turned his eyes to look at the East Palace, and said softly: "I think it won't be long before the prince will go to Henan Province in person, and he should show more of the truth to the prince." ”

"It's good for him to do more things in Henan Province." Cheng Chubi watched the vehicles slowly drive into the East Palace, and finally looked at Zhao Gong and said, "The rest is the matter of the secret guards." ”

Zhao Gong smiled and said, "The secret guard never hesitates to do it. ”

In a word, Zhao Gong has already made a decision on that matter.

……

Under the deep palace walls, Zhao Daosheng followed more than a dozen East Palace attendants towards the court.

A cyan carp pattern round-necked robe, with two pieces of jade hanging around his waist, while walking, his expression was uneasy, looking left and right, but he had a little flying.

More than a dozen chamberlains in the East Palace, Zhao Daosheng and another elderly chamberlain walked in the center.

Compared with the past, Zhao Daosheng's expression and bearing have changed greatly, and he looks out of place with the inner servants around him.

Looking at the palace walls that were becoming more and more familiar around him, Zhao Daosheng became more and more uneasy.

He came out of the court.

He has experienced all the darkness and cruelty of the court most deeply, if it weren't for Ming Chongyan to bring him out of the court, I'm afraid he would be rotten in it for the rest of his life.

He had sworn never to come back in this life, but today he came back.

He didn't want to come, but he couldn't do anything.

The internal servants were dispatched by the province, and all the internal servants in the palace bowed down to obey orders.

Especially now, the crown prince is not in the palace.

Just today, the prince went to Henan Province to inspect the affairs of Yintian, and Zhao Daosheng couldn't find it even if he wanted to find the prince.

But today is not only the appointment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also the manager Xu next to him is the old man of the East Palace.

When Emperor Li Hong was here, he was already in charge of the eighth rank of the East Palace, and now in the period of the crown prince Li Xian, although he has not been promoted, some things are still respected.

Some things even involve filial piety to the emperor's crown princess Pei.

Today, the internal servant saved his life and replaced the fans, lamps and candles in the East Palace, and Steward Xu personally dispatched and called Zhao Daosheng.

These things are also Zhao Daosheng's scope of responsibility.

Entering the Ye Ting and going to the warehouse, Steward Xu handed over to the provincial steward, and then waved his hand to let others carry things, and finally he looked at Zhao Daosheng with a smile: "Zhao Lang, let's go to the upper room for a drink together, and introduce an old acquaintance to you." ”

Zhao Daosheng subconsciously wanted to refuse, but his eyes swept over the familiar inner servants who had already left, and the rest were all people from the inner servant province, and his voice had changed: "Yes!" ”

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhao Daosheng breathed a sigh of relief in the official hall of the main hall, and then followed Steward Xu into the official hall.

At the moment when Zhao Daosheng entered the official house, there was a "snap", and the door behind him suddenly closed.

The originally translucent official mansion suddenly turned black.

Zhao Daosheng had already turned to look at the left side in his heart, and Steward Xu, who was originally walking in front of him, didn't know when he was already standing on top of the public case in front of him, his eyes were extremely indifferent.

"What's going on?" Zhao Daosheng subconsciously said a word.

"Zhao Daosheng, Yifeng entered the prince's inner fang bureau in February of the third year, and was appointed as a Yanren, half a year later, he was appointed as a Nei Yanren, Yifeng for four years, and was promoted to the commander of the Jiupin in April, and in May, he was promoted to the inner house of the ninth pin." A calm and familiar voice came from the side, and then, Zhao Gong walked in from the back door with a gloomy face.

Zhao Daosheng's heart sank completely, but then, another figure appeared, making Zhao Daosheng almost completely desperate.

The fifty-year-old thin chamberlain walked out from behind Zhao Gong, the same chamberlain, but the three-pint black tasseled hat on his head showed his identity.

Inner chamberlain and eunuch.

The chief of the chamberlain.

Tang Lu: Inner attendant, two supervisors, three grades, special eunuchs.

Now there are two chamberlains in the palace, and Wang Fulai is responsible for serving the emperor personally and conveying the edict; The eunuch was responsible for the palace gate, the cleaning of the inner court, the cashier of the inner treasury, and the care of the emperor's diet and daily life.

All the eunuchs in the palace, including Zhao Daosheng, were all under the control of the eunuchs, and they were killed and killed.

……

A shadow appeared in front of Zhao Daosheng, it was Zhao Gong who was already standing in front of him, looking at him with cold eyes, Zhao Daosheng couldn't help but shrink a little.

Zhao Gong sneered at the corner of his mouth and said: "Although you are a member of the Prince's Inner Fang Bureau, you were originally transferred from the Ye Court by Ming Chongyan and then sent to the East Palace.

You have always been very obedient, but just half a month ago, you began to be disobedient, you didn't spread your letters, and even the people who were guarding in the East Palace began to be expelled from the inner courtyard of the East Palace, what happened? ”

"The prince came to Luoyang from Chang'an, and the crown princess did not accompany him, nor did the princes and concubines, only a cadre of chamberlains and palace officials." Steward Xu walked out of the darkness, looked at Zhao Daosheng, and said softly: "Just fourteen days ago, Zhao Daosheng was promoted to the rank of Zheng Jiupin, and he often followed the prince's side. ”

"So speak." Zhao Gong grabbed Zhao Daosheng's jaw violently, lifted it up fiercely, and then said viciously: "What happened, you betrayed us, betrayed Ming Chongyan, betrayed the queen of heaven, you speak." ”

Zhao Dao gritted his teeth desperately, and his winching eyes were surprisingly full of determination.

"Let's fight!" Qiu Eun spoke softly.
