"It turned out to be you!" Wan Guojun's eyes narrowed into a slit, flashing with a fierce light, and he reached out to hold the hilt of the sword, and slowly squeezed it.

"Humph!"

Li Zhen sneered disdainfully, "Is Commander Wan trying to kill me?"

Wan Guojun suddenly realized, his hand let go of the hilt of the sword again, Li Zhen is the personal guard of the Son of Heaven, and he can directly face the saint, he really doesn't dare to offend lightly.

"Although Guard Li leaves, I won't stop her, but she can't go!" he pointed at Zhao Qiuniang.

"Didn't Commander Wan hear what I just said? I have official business, and if I want to investigate this person, I must take her away!"

At this time, Wan Guojun was really embarrassed in his heart, on the one hand, he knew that Li Zhen was Shangguan Wan'er's person, and once Zhao Qiuniang was taken away by him, he might not be able to get the gold.

On the other hand, Li Zhen is the personal guard of the saint, and if this incident alarms the saint, he can't afford it.

Wan Guojun stared at Li Zhen viciously for a long time before saying: "This is the internal affairs of the internal guard, even if you are a holy thousand cows, you have no right to interfere!"

Li Zhen had already grasped the initiative, how could he give in again? He stepped forward, holding the hilt of his sword in his hand, and his eyes were sharp and focused on Wan Guojun.

"I am investigating Wei Shifang by the will of the Holy Lord, Captain Zhao is related to Wei Shifang's private property, I will take her to investigate, Commander Wan, do you dare to resist and disobey the order?"

A big hat was covered, Wan Guojun couldn't say a word for a long time, of course he knew that Li Zhen was indeed ordered to go to check Wei Shi Fang, and he also knew that Zhao Qiuniang had obtained Wei Shi Fang's gold, if he didn't let go, it would be against the Holy Will, and he couldn't afford this responsibility.

But the question is that if Li Zhen is allowed to take Zhao Qiuniang away, how will he explain to Princess Taiping?

Just tell Princess Taiping, Li Zhen took the holy edict, he didn't dare to resist the decree, and asked Princess Taiping to find the saint to check.

Wan Guojun's fierce gaze turned to Zhao Qiuniang again, and said coldly: "Captain Zhao, I hope you can be smarter, what you shouldn't say, what you shouldn't do, I believe you know in your heart, but I have to say ugly things in front, if you dare to betray the internal guards, I will definitely use military law to severely punish you!"

After speaking, he waved his hand, "Let's go!"

He turned his horse's head and ran out of the gate, and dozens of internal guards followed him and ran away.

Zhao Qiuniang didn't expect that the matter would be solved so easily, it turned out that Li Zhen's guard silver medal was really useful, and he pulled the saint out and scared Wan Guojun away with a few words.

She said worriedly: "Li Gongzi, if you fake the holy decree, it will be troublesome, Princess Taiping will definitely ask the saint for verification!"

Li Zhen shook his head, "Going to investigate Wei Shifang was originally a secret decree of the Holy Lord, and I did not falsely pass on the Holy Decree, unless you have nothing to do with Wei Shifang's money and property." ”

Zhao Qiuniang sighed, "Let's go to Shangguan Sheren first! I'm worried about those brothers, I can't delay any longer." ”

Li Zhen nodded, "I'll go with my eldest sister!"

The streets were full of people, and they could not gallop their horses, so they slowed down their horses and walked slowly side by side.

Zhao Qiuniang sighed and said in a low voice: "Now that the matter is over, I don't want to hide it from you, I am actually not an ordinary businessman, but an internal guard captain." ”

Li Zhen nodded silently.

"Aren't you surprised?" Zhao Qiuniang was puzzled by Li Zhen's calmness.

Li Zhen smiled, "I originally thought you were from Shangqinglou, but it turned out that you were an internal guard, so I can understand you in Songshan." ”

After hesitating, Li Zhen asked her again: "Is that middle-aged man just now the commander of the internal guard?"

Zhao Qiuniang's eyes shot a look of resentment, as if she was saying something that made her extremely disgusting. "He is Wan Guojun, the confidant of Princess Taiping, and he is also the only deputy commander of the internal guards at present, and he is bent on controlling all the internal guards. ”

"As far as I know"

Li Zhen was still a little puzzled, his brows furrowed, "Isn't the commander of the internal guard Wu Youxu concurrently? With him, how dare this Wan Guojun act so recklessly?"

"Don't you know, Wu Youxu is only the nominal commander, and the saint did not give him the real power, she kept the real power to herself, but she didn't have time to ask, so the real power fell into the hands of the deputy commander.

The original deputy commander was called Luo Sinian, who was Wei Tuan'er's other lover, and he was not bad, but after Wei Tuan'er died, he was also purged and transferred to Chang'an as a guard. ”

"What about Shangguan Sheren, doesn't she have power in the internal guard?"

Zhao Qiuniang showed a wry smile on her face, "The other deputy commander of the original is actually known to you. ”

"Who do I know?"

"It was Sun Li, after he came back from Dunhuang, he was placed in the internal guard by the Shangguan Sheren, but because his father Sun Yuanheng and Wu Chenghei were too close, the Shangguan Sheren immediately transferred him to Dali Temple, ready to rearrange a deputy commander, but due to Xue Huaiyi's repeated obstruction, the saint did not appoint a new deputy commander. ”

Only then did Li Zhen understand that Sun Li was the deputy commander of the internal guard, no wonder he could serve as the chief of Dali Temple, and no wonder he did not dare to disobey Shangguan Wan'er's arrangement.

It's just that Shangguan Wan'er Li Zhen shook his head, he regretted that Shangguan Wan'er was too shrewd.

"Why is she so troubled, she transferred Sun Li, but she cheapened Princess Taiping. ”

Shangguan Sheren was also very remorseful, she told me that she had known to keep Sun Li first. ”

Zhao Qiuniang sighed again and said: "After you left, I led my subordinates to carefully search Songnanguan, and found 15,000 taels of gold and 50,000 taels of silver from the underground palace of Laojun Palace, and prepared to escort them back to Luoyang today, but I encountered two groups of people on the way to intercept them. ”

"Sister Qiu Niang, can you tell me more about it?"

Zhao Qiuniang did not hide Li Zhen, so she told the story of being ambushed by the warrior monk and the man in black last night, and when she was all said about it, they had already arrived at the Taichu Palace, and saw Shangguan Wan'er standing on the steps and watching them calmly.

"I hope you guys can give me an explanation, especially you!"

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Zhao Qiuniang with annoyed eyes, "Someone said to the Holy Lord that I want to embezzle Wei Shifang's huge wealth, can you explain the reason to me?"

Zhao Qiuniang and Li Zhen glanced at each other, they didn't expect Princess Taiping's movements to be so fast, and she would face the Holy Complaint so quickly.

Zhao Qiuniang stepped forward and saluted, "Qi Qi Sheren, this is just a wicked person suing first, and he is here to make things clear." ”

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Li Zhen again, turned around and walked towards her official room, "Come with me!"

Princess Taiping also came to her mother's imperial study just now, failed to intercept the gold, Wan Guojun forced Zhao Qiuniang to fail again, and two consecutive failures made Princess Taiping a little annoyed and angry.

On the one hand, she wants to beat Shangguan Wan'er upside down, accusing Shangguan Wan'er of wanting to embezzle Wei Shifang's gold, and on the other hand, she also wants to clear herself and prevent herself from being passive in this matter.

Princess Taiping was undoubtedly an extremely intelligent person, good at seizing opportunities, and doing things resolutely, decisively and crisply, which she resembled her mother Wu Zetian, and when she realized that it was difficult for her to obtain this wealth, she did not hesitate to give up.

Although she decided to give up, she also had to make her opponent pay the price, or rather, she would lose the east, but she would reap it.

"Mother Qiqi, this is the top table of Wan Guojun, the deputy commander of the internal guard. ”

Princess Taiping respectfully presented a recital to Wu Zetian, "He is a humble position, and his daughter will transfer the recital to her mother." ”

Of course, Wu Zetian knew that Wan Guojun was the person of Princess Taiping, and this recital was the meaning of Princess Taiping, and she didn't want to break it, so she asked lightly: "What does the recital say?"

Wan Guojun said that there were many factions in the internal guard, and the ownership was chaotic, so that he could not exercise the power of deputy commander, in the final analysis, someone exceeded his authority to meddle in the affairs of the internal guard, and he implored his mother to clean up the ownership of the internal guard, so that the internal guard could operate normally. ”

Wu Zetian didn't open the watch, but casually put it in the corner of the imperial case, "I know about this matter, let me think about it!"

Mother's understatement made Princess Taiping feel like a punch was in the air, and she was a little flustered in her heart, did her mother already have an idea about the internal guard?

Fighting for the command of the internal guard has been the clear goal of Princess Taiping for more than half a year, for this reason, she did not hesitate to secretly collude with Xue Huaiyi, on the one hand, she asked Xue Huaiyi to blow the pillow wind to her mother, and successfully blocked Shangguan Wan'er from recommending a new deputy commander.

On the other hand, she persuaded her mother to purge Wei Tuan'er's lover Luo Sinian and appoint her henchman Wan Guojun as the deputy commander of the internal guard.

I can't help but say that Princess Taiping is indeed very powerful, and she has achieved her goal step by step, but just when she was about to work together with Xue Huaiyi to completely control the internal guard, she accidentally caused the Wei Shifang incident, and Xue Huaiyi was driven back to the White Horse Temple, which disrupted her plan to control the internal guard.

It was only at this time that Princess Taiping learned the power of Shangguan Wan'er, and Shangguan Wan'er used roundabout means to break the situation of her internal guard, so that the internal guard belonged to a state of uncertainty about the future.

At this time, there was a eunuch outside the door to report, "Qi Yu Majesty, Shangguan Sheren is here." ”

"Let her in!"

The door opened, Shangguan Wan'er walked in from the outside, and she gave a salute, "Wan'er see Your Majesty!"

Wu Zetian smiled and waved his hand, "Is there something wrong with Wan'er?"

Shangguan Wan'er didn't seem to see Princess Taiping standing aside, she also presented a scroll, "Your Majesty, this is the report of Guard Li to Songshan, Wan'er has carefully examined it, please look at it!"

Although Li Zhen's trip to Songshan was arranged by Shangguan Wan'er, it was Wu Zetian's meaning, compared with the understatement of Wan Guojun's volume, Wu Zetian seemed to be very interested in Li Zhen's report.

She took the scroll and opened it, and read it carefully, it was not only about Song Shansheng, but also the details of Zhao Qiuniang's escort of Wei Shifang's wealth, which actually broke Princess Taiping's accusation that Shangguan Wan'er tried to embezzle gold.

Wu Zetian snorted coldly, "A small alchemist, can he amass such a huge fortune, are all my supervising imperial histories puppet clay sculptures?"

"Back to Your Majesty, this is only a part of the wealth, Li Guard also got Wei Shifang's wealth inventory, Wan'er roughly estimated, at least half of the wealth is missing. ”

Saying that, Shangguan Wan'er presented a roster to Wu Zetian, which Zhao Qiuniang found in the underground palace of the Laojun Palace, and it was Wei Shifang's record of collecting money in the past few years, Wu Zetian took the roster and looked at it roughly, his face became more and more gloomy.

Princess Taiping next to her secretly screamed in her heart that it was not good, Shangguan Wan'er undoubtedly began to fight back, not only completely exposing Wei Fangshi's old background, but also continuing to pursue and settle old accounts.

She hurriedly said, "Mother, this matter can be handed over to the Yushitai and let them continue to investigate this matter." ”

Princess Taiping wanted to hand over this matter to Lai Junchen, let Lai Junchen take care of Xue Huaiyi, and at the same time clear Shangguan Wan'er from this matter.

Shangguan Wan'er sneered in her heart, and said unhurriedly: "Wan'er thinks that this matter is not suitable to be extended to the imperial court. ”

She was hinting to Wu Zetian that Wei Shifang's witchcraft was related to the dignity of the emperor, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Although the two of them never looked at each other once from beginning to end, they fought with swords and swords in front of Wu Zetian, and the atmosphere in the imperial study became tense.

Wu Zetian pondered for a while and asked, "What does Yi Wan'er mean?"

"Wan'er Jianyì asked Li Zhen to investigate this matter to the end!"

Wu Zetian turned out the construction proposed by Shangguan Wan'er half a month ago from the imperial case, and appointed Li Zhen as the deputy commander of the internal guard.

Princess Taiping's face turned pale, and she knew that she had lost this game
