This sturdy guard turned out to be Zhang Ting, the son of Zhang Ting, the deputy military envoy of the Doulu Army, which really surprised and delighted Li Zhen, and meeting an old friend in a foreign country was of course a happy event worth celebrating.

Zhang Li arched his hand and smiled: "Li Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Li Zhen was excited in his heart, and hurriedly said: "This is not the place to talk, let's go to the Left Bank wine shop and have a good chat!"

The four of them came to the Left Bank wine shop, asked for a private room, and sat down.

Li Zhen couldn't wait to ask Zhang Lidao: "When did Brother Zhang come to Luoyang, and why did he wear the costume of the Yulin Army?"

Although Zhang Li was wearing the military uniform of a guard, he was not a Qianniu guard, but a Yulin army, which really puzzled Li Zhen.

Zhang Li smiled: "I came to Luoyang a month, ready to participate in the martial arts in February, it happened that my father had a little favor, so he arranged for me to temporarily enter the Yulin Army, today I heard about Ah Zhen's prestige, so I came to Qianniuwei to inquire, and I happened to meet the wine brother." ”

Li Zhen patted his forehead, he forgot about the martial arts, didn't Zhang Li get one of the three places? Of course, he wanted to come to Luoyang to participate in the martial arts.

Although Li Zhen has only been away from Dunhuang for half a year, he feels that many years have passed, and the competition for martial arts places was so fierce at the beginning, but now that he thinks about it, it seems to be a long time ago.

"What about the other two? I mean Li Pan and Sowen. Li Zhen asked with a smile again.

"Li Pan, I don't know very well, Suo Wen and Suo Ying brothers I met them a few days ago, and they are as arrogant as before, they should also participate in martial arts. ”

In fact, Li Zhen got the news of Suo Wen not long ago, but he didn't take it to heart, I don't know how he is now, has he been severely punished by Lai Junchen for harboring Lan Zhenyu?

Jiu Zhi was extremely disgusted with the two mosquitoes and flies, and he snorted coldly, "Dogs can't change their sex, if the two of them become low-key and honest, I won't be surnamed Jiu." ”

Zhang Li smiled slightly: "That's not necessarily, after all, this is Luoyang, not Dunhuang, the Suo brothers don't dare to be as arrogant as Dunhuang, but I heard that the Suo family has a new backstage, so these two brothers are guilty again." ”

Li Zhen knew that the original backstage of the Suo family was Wu Chenghei, and Suo Wen's father was one of Wu Chenghe's fake sons, Wu Chenghei fell, of course the Suo family had to find another backstage, but I don't know who they were looking for this time?

"Who did the Suo family find to be the backstage, does Brother Zhang know?"

Zhang Li pondered, "I just heard, I can't be sure, it seems that the relationship between the Suo family and Lai Junchen is good." ”

Li Zhen couldn't help laughing, "The Suo family is really good at camping, and they actually came to Junchen again." ”

At this time, several bartenders brought wine and food, Li Zhen stopped talking about the Suo family, he poured Zhang Li a glass of wine, and asked with a smile: "How is Ling Zun?"

"My father is very good, if he knew that Li Gongzi had been promoted to deputy commander of the internal guard, I don't know how he would feel. ”

"Oh, it's just the right time. ”

Li Zhen raised his glass and said with a smile: "Come! For the reunion of old friends in Luoyang, we toasted this one!"

"!"

Everyone raised their glasses and touched them, and they all drank it all.

Xiao Xi rushed to pour them wine, and smiled at Li Zhen: "Brother Zhen, my master talked about you today, said that you are very powerful, and gave Xue Huaiyi a hard slap, he asked me to toast you with a glass of wine for him, and thank you for giving him a bad breath." ”

Li Zhen laughed, "It is estimated that most of the people in the palace will be grateful to me, my current bastard is really unpopular, I really don't know how he has behaved all these years?"

He raised his glass and touched Xiao Xi, drank all the wine in the cup, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xi, thank you for your master's kindness, and say hello to him for me!"

At this time, Jiuzhi finally couldn't help but say: "Lao Li, I told you that thing today, you see"

It just so happened that Zhao Qiuniang had killed a few of his subordinates, and he needed to replenish the manpower, so he could take this opportunity to get Jiuzhi into the internal guard, Li Zhen couldn't help but glance at Zhang Li again, and secretly thought in his heart, "If Zhang Li is also willing to enter the internal guard, of course it is the best, but if he doesn't ask for it, he won't be abrupt." ’

He put Zhang Li aside for the time being, and smiled at Jiu Zhi: "There is no vacant position of captain for the time being, you can come in first, make a few more meritorious contributions, and next time if I have the opportunity, I will consider promoting you first." ”

Jiu Zhi is actually just talking, he knows his catties, where can he be qualified to be a captain, he will be satisfied if he can enter the internal guard, he immediately smiled: "Then it is a word, you owe me the position of captain, let me enter the internal guard first." ”

"Fat brother, aren't you pretty good now, why do you want to enter the internal guard?" asked Xiao Xi puzzled.

"You know what!"

Jiu Zhi glared at him fiercely, "The internal guard is well paid, the moon is higher than the Yulin Army, and there is a double-headed eagle waist card, walking on the street is the uncle, who is not pleasing to the eye, Lao Tzu shook the waist card, see who dares to provoke me?"

Everyone laughed, Li Zhen slapped him on the back of the head, and scolded with a smile: "If I lose my official position one day, it must be your kid who caused it." ”

Jiuzhi scratched his head and smiled, "It's just talking, don't take it seriously!"

Li Zhen saw that Zhang Li was also a little tempted, so he asked tentatively: "Brother Zhang, do you plan to return to the Doulu Army after the martial arts examination?"

"It's hard to say, my father wants me to stay in the capital for a few more years, establish some contacts and then go back, and frankly, I also want to stay in Luoyang and see the world. ”

"Oh! I see, if Brother Zhang is asked to change his position, is Brother Zhang willing?"

Zhang Li is also a smart person, he understood that Li Zhen was hinting at himself, so he smiled and said: "If I can enter the internal guard, of course I can't ask for it." ”

Li Zhen was overjoyed, "Then it's decided, I'll go through the formalities for the two of you tomorrow." ”

He raised his glass, "Here, let's have another drink." ”

In Princess Taiping's mansion, Wu Furong respectfully presented a priceless night pearl to Princess Taiping, "This is a little heart from our whole family to the princess, I hope the princess will accept it!"

For Wu Furong's family, rescuing Wu Chengsi from the Eagle Dog Fang is their most urgent thing, before they entrusted Xue Huaiyi's favor, Wu Furong even did not hesitate to help Xue Huaiyi assassinate Shangguan Wan'er, but since the assassination failed, Xue Huaiyi turned his face and ignored the Wu family.

The Wu brothers and sisters were helpless, so they had to come to Princess Taiping again, and after a few contacts, Princess Taiping finally offered a price, and she asked her mother to give Wu Chenghei the night pearl five years ago.

Princess Taiping took the pearl of the night, and the bright light shone on her face, making her eyes squint into a slit, and there was an unbearable excitement in her eyes.

Like Wei Tuan'er, she also has a passion for jewelry, which is why she also opened a jewelry shop to collect fine jewelry for her.

The Night Pearl is the king of jewelry, she has been looking forward to it for a long time, but unfortunately she has not been rewarded, Princess Taiping stared at this Night Pearl, her eyes refused to leave for a long time.

Wu Furong was secretly happy in her heart, and hurriedly reminded her in a low voice: "Auntie, what about my father?"

Princess Taiping put away the night pearl and said to Wu Furong with a smile: "Don't worry, Aunt is a person who counts her words, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, I will persuade my mother to release my cousin." ”

"Thank you, princess!"

Princess Taiping nodded with a smile, and said slowly: "I heard that you don't plan to participate in the polo tournament at the end of February?"

Wu Furong sighed, "My father is in prison, how can we have the heart to participate in a polo tournament, and we plan to give up this tournament." ”

"It's a bit of a pity to give up the game, you seem to have a few high-level polo players there, why don't you lend it to me!"

Wu Furong secretly scolded Princess Taiping for being shameless, winning the Night Pearl, and beating their polo player, but now she has a request for Princess Taiping, and she didn't dare not agree, so she had to say helplessly: "I'll send them to my aunt after the New Year." ”

"Hehe! I'm just talking about it, don't take it personally. ”

"Anyway, they are idle, and they can play for the princess, and I believe they can't ask for it. ”

Princess Taiping smiled happily: "Since you have such good intentions, then I will not be polite to you." ”

Wu Furong saluted, then took her leave, and Princess Taiping was the only one left in the room, she blew out the light, and the room became dark.

At this time, Princess Taiping opened the jade box, and the night pearl came out of the ghostly light, which immediately illuminated the entire study, and also illuminated her greedy eyes like a wolf.

At this moment, she deeply realized the charm of power, if there was no power, would the martial artist give her this treasure?

If she hadn't killed that woman, how could she have gained more power?

Early the next morning, Princess Taiping went to the Taichu Palace to meet her mother, when her carriage passed by Mingtang, she saw a familiar figure through the curtain, it was Mingtang Wei Ji, Princess Taiping immediately ordered: "Stop!"

The carriage slowly stopped, and at this time, Ji Ji also saw Princess Taiping's carriage, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "See Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Ji Ji is in charge of Mingtang affairs, and has won the trust of Wu Zetian, he is also recommended by Princess Taiping to her mother, and is one of Princess Taiping's henchmen, Princess Taiping asked slowly: "Was there any progress in the Hu Seng case yesterday?"

Due to his position, Ji Xuan has a wide range of news, and he can learn about many important things at the first time, and he will also inform Princess Taiping in time, he hurriedly whispered: "Dali Temple has completed the investigation of Hu Seng's case, and Li Yuan's report was sent to the palace before dawn. ”

"So fast?" Princess Taiping frowned.

"I heard that they have obtained clear human and physical evidence, as well as a joint letter from thousands of people in Yanshi County, denouncing Hu Seng for his misdeeds in Yanshi County, and all kinds of evidence are very unfavorable to Xue Huaiyi. ”

"I see. ”

Princess Taiping thought for a while and said, "During this time, your ears are a little longer, and you have to tell me in time if there is anything." ”

"Humble duty understands!"

Ji Xuan bowed and retreated, but Princess Taiping fell into deep thought, it seems that more than one person is aware of the change in her mother's attitude, and Li Element is a clear example.

But the problem is not here, Princess Taiping has realized that it is difficult for her to get a piece of the feast that brought down Xue Huaiyi.

The woman had completely enveloped her mother step by step, and it seemed that she could only seek a breakthrough in other aspects, and Wu Furong came to her last night, which made her realize an opportunity

In the imperial study, Shangguan Wan'er had already written the edict, serving the imperial history Wang Hongyi reversed black and white, bullied the king, dismissed his post of serving the imperial history, fifty rods, with Lingnan, Liang Guogong Xue Huaiyi restrained the monks of the White Horse Temple strictly, dismissed him from the post of general of the right guard, and ordered him to think about it.

The final decision made by the saint was also beyond Shangguan Wan'er's expectations, her plan yesterday was to strip Xue Huaiyi from the Hu Seng case, and only punish Xue Huaiyi's lackey Wang Hongyi, but she didn't think that after only one night, the saint changed his mind and decided to punish Xue Huaiyi jointly.

Shangguan Wan'er of course understood the reason why the Holy Lord made this decision, Xue Huaiyi did not learn the lesson of Wei Shifang's case at all, but instead intensified his efforts to intercept Wei Shifang's gold, which finally angered Wu Zetian.

However, it can be seen that the saint has repeatedly weighed this decision, and only removed Xue Huaiyi from the post of general of the right guard, this is just a strict warning, if Xue Huaiyi still doesn't know how to restrain, I'm afraid he will be in a catastrophe, Shangguan Wan'er hopes from the bottom of her heart that Xue Huaiyi will lose his mind.

She handed over the written draft edict to Wu Zetian, who read it carefully, picked up the pen and drew a circle on it, "Add a seal!"
