Gao Jian lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then put the jade box away, and said with a smile: "I understand Commander Li's feelings, I will tell the princess truthfully, and in addition, I have a private matter I want to talk to Commander Li about." ”

"Senior brother, please speak," Li Zhen smiled slightly.

"Does Commander Li know Qiao Zhizhi?"

Li Zhen thought for a moment and said: "It seems that in the Su case, he was also implicated, but I don't know this person." ”

"He is my classmate and best friend, and now he has been reinstated, but his wife is missing, and there is also an ancestral jade pendant, he asked around about his wife's whereabouts, and someone told him that his wife had been brought into Lai Junchen's mansion, and his ancestral jade pendant also disappeared after Lai Junchen led people to raid his house. ”

Li Zhen took the wine on the table and drank it down, and said to Gao Jian: "I sympathize with this person's plight, but I don't understand why Brother Gao wants to tell me about this, if Brother Gao wants to help him, I think I can ask Her Royal Highness the princess to help, and Lai Junchen should give the princess a face and let the person go." ”

Gao Jian smiled and said, "I'm not asking Commander Li for help, I just want to tell Commander Li that if Commander Li is interested in coming to Junchen's stain one day, he might as well go to Qiao Zhizhi to learn a little bit about the situation." ”

Li Zhen immediately got up and arched his hand: "Thank you Brother Gao for your kindness, if there is nothing wrong, I will go back." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, without the slightest intention of stopping, and soon left the wine shop, Gao Jian looked at Li Zhen's back with a wine glass and walked away, he smiled, he believed that his judgment was not wrong.

Almost at the same moment when Gao Jian and Li Zhen were discussing in the small wine shop, Lai Junchen walked into Wu Zetian's imperial study nervously, he didn't know what was going on, the Holy Lord would urgently summon him, in the past two days, he was really a little afraid to see Wu Zetian again, Xingtang Hui case, he was like being hung in mid-air, he couldn't go up to the sky, he couldn't go down to the ground, so that he didn't have a little bottom in his heart.

However, there is no Shangguan Wan'er in the imperial study, only the empress Wu Zetian alone, which makes Lai Junchen have a glimmer of hope in his heart, every time the saint secretly assigns him a task, there will be no outsiders, is the saint going to give him any secret task?

Lai Junchen hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Weichen comes to Junchen to see Your Majesty"

"Come to the Qing Qing and be exempt"

Wu Zetian's salutation made Lai Junchen's heart even more relaxed, he was already sure that the Holy Lord must have some task to hand over to him.

Wu Zetian glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "I met Li Zhen today, do you know about Laiqing?"

"Wechen heard about it, and he got His Majesty's holy favor. ”

When he said this, Lai Junchen's tone was a little sour, Li Zhen had only been in the court for more than half a year, and he had already obtained the position of earl, and he served the saint before and after the saddle, but he did not have any title, how unfair is this?

But he didn't dare to show it in front of Wu Zetian, and even the sourness in his tone was enduring, and he couldn't help but leak a little bit.

Wu Zetian said coldly: "I rewarded him, just to stabilize him, to be honest, I was very dissatisfied with his trip to Yangzhou, and he dared to deceive me."

Lai Junchen's spirit suddenly perked up, he never imagined that the Holy Lord would comment on Li Zhen like this, but at this time, he still didn't dare to say more, and lowered his hand to listen to Wu Zetian continue.

Wu Zetian walked to the window with his hands down, looked at the white clouds outside the window, and said slowly for a while: "I need Li Yuanjia three things, the oath list, the correspondence between the royal family and Li Yuanjia, and Li Yuanjia's Xingtang Club gold medal, but Li Zhen didn't give them to me, Laiqing, do you know what I mean?"

Lai Junchen was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The minister will arrest Li Zhen and force him to hand over the things that the saint wants."

"That's not what I mean. ”

Wu Zetian glanced back at Junchen, "I just told you that I rewarded him just to stabilize him, because there are still many ill-intentioned people behind him, so I specially summoned you, you have to investigate this matter secretly, don't startle the snake, to find the three pieces of evidence, you should know what I mean?"

"Wechen understood"

Lai Junchen completely understood what Wu Zetian wanted, she actually wanted those three key pieces of evidence, who said that Xingtang would die down, isn't this the saint continuing to investigate on his own?

"Go ahead, I'm a little tired and need to rest. ”

"Wechen Retires"

Lai Junchen slowly withdrew from the imperial study, at this time, he was so happy that he was about to explode, eager to rush out of the palace to shout, the haze in his heart for a few days was swept away, he became a hundred times more energetic, and regained his former vigor.

Wu Zetian never turned around, she stood in front of the window with her hands in her hands, and a cruel sneer flowed from her face.

As soon as it was dark, Wu Furong rushed to Princess Taiping's mansion angrily, she also just got the news that the internal guard will carry out a major reorganization, remove the two deputy commanders, and the internal guard commander will directly govern the battalions below, and the new internal guard commander is her rival Li Zhen.

In other words, she Wu Furong will be driven out of the internal guard, which makes Wu Furong extremely angry, she has only been the commander of the internal guard for a few months, and she is about to be driven away, isn't this playing tricks on her? She must explain to the Taiping Princess.

She rushed into Princess Taiping's mansion quickly, and the housekeeper hurriedly stopped her, "Please wait a while, Commander Wu, I'll report to the princess." ”

"Fuck off"

Wu Furong was furious, kicked the butler to the ground, she pulled out her sword and rushed towards the inner house.

At this time, Princess Taiping was listening to the report of her confidant Gao Jian, Princess Taiping picked up the jade box on the table, and said with some displeasure: "Why does he refuse to accept my congratulatory gift?"

"Your Highness, I told Your Highness before, Your Highness gave him a jewel or a sword, maybe he can accept it, but the goal of the manor and real estate is too big, even if he wants to accept it, he doesn't dare, after all, he doesn't dare to really offend Shangguan Wan'er, so it is reasonable for him to refuse His Highness's good intentions. ”

Princess Taiping sneered, "Well, since he doesn't want to accept it, then I won't give it away, besides, what does he say about what I want?"

He said that the oath had been burned, and that he had only the Princess's letters, but he did not believe in the lowly position, and he would hand them over to Her Highness in person. ”

Princess Taiping frowned, and she could understand that she handed the letter to herself, but the oath list was burned, but she didn't believe it, "Gao Lang, do you think what he said is true?"

Gao Jian smiled and said: "Obviously, he doesn't want to give the oath list to the princess, and he thinks that he will either give it to King Luling or King Xiang, but he won't give it to Shangguan Wan'er." ”

"Why?"

"As the princess said, he needs to build another network for himself, Shangguan Wan'er and Xingtang will have no vital interests, and it will have no effect on her, but if it is given to those two princes, the meaning will be extraordinary. ”

Princess Taiping was even more suspicious in her heart, "I know that the fourth brother didn't get this oath list, so he must have given it to the third brother, does he want to support the third brother?"

"This is not necessarily, I have observed him in the humble position, this person is very smart and very slippery, I think he just supports the Li royal family, and now he has no capital to choose.

Princess Taiping nodded, she admitted that Gao Jian's analysis was very correct, and she saw Li Zhen very thoroughly, it should be like this, she thought about it and asked: "Then in your opinion, I still have to meet him in person, I am worried about being discovered by my mother." ”

"His Royal Highness's cautious and humble function understands, since this is the case, the humble position thinks that it is better to meet by chance, and this matter is arranged by the humble position. ”

At this moment, there was a faint commotion outside the courtyard, as if someone was shouting angrily, Princess Taiping felt strange in her heart, walked to the door and asked, "What happened?"

At this time, a guard rushed over and bowed down to report: "Your Highness Qiqi, she is the commander of the martial arts, she was emotional, and she was about to break in with a sword, but was stopped by the guards

Gao Jian walked up slowly and said with a smile: "It seems that she knows that she is going to be a Fengguan." ”

Princess Taiping's face sank, "Can I break into my mansion with a sword if I lose my official?" Who can do this, what safety do I have at all." ”

"Your Highness, appease her, after all, she also has a place to go. ”

"I don't see any use for her. ”

Princess Taiping has only gotten a small part of Wu Chenghe's property from Wu Furong in the past few months, on the one hand, it is true that Wu Sansi is in the way, but more importantly, Wu Furong does not want to give her the property at all, plus Wu Furong has failed twice in Fangzhou and Chengdu, so Princess Taiping has long been dissatisfied with her.

Princess Taiping snorted, walked outside quickly, and walked outside the courtyard, only to see several guards holding Wu Furong's arms, and the sword in her hand was also taken away by the guards.

Wu Furong was very emotional, struggling desperately, shouting: "Let go of me, you group of dog mongrels, the old lady will slaughter you one by one."

Princess Taiping heard her scolding viciously, her face became even more gloomy, and she shouted angrily: "Shut up, this is not a place for you to go wild."

When Wu Furong saw Princess Taiping, she calmed down, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Why do you want to remove me from my internal guard position?"

"No one wants to remove you from your position. Princess Taiping said lightly: "Just because the Holy Lord wants to reorganize the internal guard, you should know that the Holy Lord has taken back the power of the internal guard and disbanded the left and right deputy commanders, since there is no longer the post of deputy commander, you naturally have to change to other positions." ”

"And what position do you want me to take?"

"Generally, there are very few women who hold official positions in the imperial court, but I can tell the Ministry of Officials, make a special exception, my princess's mansion still lacks a Zuo Cao to join the army, so it is better for you to take the position."

Wu Furong's eyes widened, Zuo Cao joined the army and was just a sesame petty officer from the eighth grade, with nothing to do, she was a dignified deputy commander of the internal guard, and she was actually demoted to a petty official from the eighth grade.

Wu Furong suddenly felt a huge insult, and she hissed and shouted: "You treacherous bitch, you took my family's Night Pearl, and I am really blind to treat me like this."

Princess Taiping suddenly became furious, rushed forward and slapped her hard, "If you dare to scold again, watch me tear your mouth"

Wu Furong stared at Princess Taiping with great resentment, without saying a word, Princess Taiping turned around and walked towards the courtyard, and coldly dropped a sentence, "Thirty palms, drive out of the house"

Wu Furong burst out a sentence from between her teeth, "I won't let you go, no"

At this time, Princess Taiping had already walked away, and the leader of the guards waved his hand and said, "Drag it out, palm your mouth"

Several tiger-like guards dragged Wu Furong out.
