I have something to do today, and I'm a little late to get home, so I'm sorry everyone

Only a moment later, Jiuzhi came back and reported: "Lai Junchen has indeed left the city, and Xiang led a large group of samurai to the south of the city. ”

Next to him, Zhang Li hurriedly said: "This must be going to Li Guangshun Manor to arrest people." ”

Li Zhen didn't speak, still pacing in the room with his hands in his hands, everyone next to him was watching him, waiting for him to make up his mind, Li Zhen was quickly judging the time and rhythm in his heart, once Lai Junchen caught Li Guangshun, he would inevitably expand the scope, including himself.

Li Zhen thought about it repeatedly, relying on his own strength to fight with Lai Junchen, it was still a little worse, he had to get the support of others, but the top priority was to seize Lai Junchen's handle.

Thinking of this, Li Zhen beckoned to Zhao Qiuniang, Zhao Qiuniang stepped forward, and Li Zhen whispered to her: "You take Ah Yan with you, you must find the body of Qiao Zhizhi's wife tonight, this matter is very important, and you must not be seen by someone who comes to Junchen." ”

"Don't worry, Commander, there will be no problem. ”

Zhao Qiuniang saluted and walked quickly, Jiu Zhi saw that he had nothing to do, and asked urgently: "Then what can I do?"

Li Zhen smiled slightly, "I want to write a few letters, and I have to trouble you to send them for me." ”

There are more than a dozen manors of magnates near Longmen, most of them are the places where the magnates of Luoyang come to take refuge in the summer, Li Guangshun's manor is located in the northwest of Longmen Mountain, built on the back of the mountain and the water, the scenery is very beautiful, but the manor is not big, covers an area of about 1,000 acres, the manor has no farmland, only a dozen buildings have been built, all kinds of pavilions and pavilions are hidden in the woods, it looks very cool in the hot summer.

Li Guangshun and his family arrived at the manor at noon, and countless large and small boxes had not yet had time to be sorted out, and everyone was tired all the way and was ready to rest early.

Li Guangshun was sitting in the study reading a book at this time, for him, this was a very ordinary day, every day passed like this.

Although he is famous for his love of music, those who know him know that more than ten years ago, Lee Kwang Soon did not like music at all, on the contrary, he hated all entertainment, when his father was still the crown prince, he was the crown prince, he was the crown prince, he thought every day, how to govern the world after he ascended the throne in the future, and he had an unusual interest in power.

But since his father was deposed, and then committed suicide with hatred, his position as the emperor's grandson was also deprived, and overnight, dreams and power were all away from him, and he felt that his life was threatened, and from then on, he suddenly indulged in music, let music paralyze himself, escape from reality, and create an image of an obsessed music to confuse those who are still not at ease with him.

But in his bones, Li Guangshun still has endless expectations for power and the throne of the emperor.

The night was already very deep, Li Guangshun also felt a little sleepy, he put down the book, got up and stretched a long waist, ready to find his concubine Yu, he was just about to leave the study, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, only to hear a guard nervously shouted: "Your Highness, it's not good"

Li Guangshun opened the door, only to see the guard standing at the door with a frightened face, his face sank, and he asked very unhappily, "What happened?"

"Your Highness, there are a lot of black-clothed people outside, all with swords, and they have surrounded us. ”

Li Guangshun was taken aback, could it be that the bandits had sneaked in? Thinking about it, it was impossible, this was Longmen, the southern suburbs of the capital, where were the bandits? He was strange in his heart, and asked again: "Who is it?"

"I don't know if I am lowly"

At this moment, another guard hurriedly came and reported: "Your Highness, Lai Junchen has broken into the manor and asked His Highness to go out outside the hall."

"Lai Junchen"

Li Guangshun was stunned in fright, what did Junchen do when he came to find him? At this time, the chief housekeeper Liu Changqing hurriedly ran over, "Lord Wang, someone has sent a letter." ”

Li Guangshun's heart was in a mess, he took the letter blankly, and asked, "Who sent the letter?"

"I don't know, just now, a man in black gave the letter to the maid, and then ran away. ”

Li Guangshun opened the letter and looked at it, put down his heart slightly, immediately tore the letter to shreds, threw it into the incense burner, and said to Liu Changqing: "Lai Junchen just came to me, the housekeeper took care of the family, and I will come back in a few days." ”

Li Guangshun read the letter, he had a bottom in his heart, and immediately strode out of the hall, Liu Changqing knew in his heart who sent the letter, he was hesitating to tell the master about seeing Li Zhen, but he finally held back, sighed, shook his head and ran quickly to the backyard.

Li Guangshun walked out of the lobby, only to see a large group of black warriors standing in the courtyard under the lobby, holding torches, shining the steps in front of the day as if it were day, the person who was the imperial history of the Chenglai Junchen, next to him was the imperial history Liu Guangye, Li Guangshun stood on the steps with his hands and said coldly: "Come to Zhongcheng uninvited, is this your way of hospitality?"

Lai Junchen stepped forward slowly, and Yu smiled and said: "I'm not here to be a guest, I will take His Highness back to Beijing by the will of the Holy Lord, there are some things that need to be confronted with His Highness, please cooperate with Your Highness."

"Presumptuous"

Li Guangshun snorted heavily, "I am the emperor's grandson, you want to arrest me and show the will of the saint."

Lai Junchen did not have Wu Zetian's will, but he had a way to deal with Li Guangshun, took out the imperial history gold medal, and held it high, "This is the gold medal given by the saint, seeing that the card is like a saint, does His Highness want to resist the decree and disobey it?"

The imperial history gold medal is the killer weapon of Lai Junchen, he doesn't know how many times he has used the imperial history gold medal to falsely pass the holy decree, and he has never missed, he believes that Li Guangshun also has to bow his head honestly, Li Guangshun knew that it was impossible to escape this catastrophe, so he had to stride down the steps and walk towards the carriage in the distance.

Lai Junchen was overjoyed, and immediately said loudly: "Escort His Highness back to Beijing"

Hundreds of people swirled around the carriage and headed towards Luoyang.

The next day is the day off, the courtiers rest a day at home, this is also the day that the ministers of the court are most looking forward to, the weather is hot, everyone is at home to escape the heat, steal a day of leisure, but for the ministers, it is difficult to rest at home, and they must also enter the court to deal with government affairs and participate in the deliberations of the political hall.

Shangguan Wan'er is also the same as Xiangguo, the heavy government affairs make it rare for her to have a moment of leisure, and on the holidays, she also sorts out the official reports from various states, distinguishes the priorities, and registers the directory one by one.

At this time, the maid Xiao'e reported at the door: "Master, Commander Li asks to see"

Shangguan Wan'er's pen stopped, she pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Let him in"

After a while, Li Zhen walked into the room quickly, bowed and saluted, "See Sheren"

"Do you have anything to do with me?" Shangguan Wan'er asked casually.

"Qi Yu Sheren, Lai Junchen arrested Li Guangshun, the king of Yifeng, last night. ”

Shangguan Wan'er's hand shook, almost writing the words, she frowned slightly, "Why did he arrest Li Guangshun?"

"Returning to the house, he wants to open a gap from Li Guangshun and encircle and suppress the Xingtang Society, Li Guangshun is just the beginning, the real target of Lai Junchen is King Xiang and King Luling, of course, out of personal grudges, he also got rid of me at the same time. ”

Shangguan Wan'er sighed for a while and said: "Yesterday afternoon, Lai Junchen asked to see the Shengshang, I was not there at the time, I heard that Lai Junchen presented two gold medals of the Xingtang Society to the Shengshang, it seems that the Shengshang was persuaded by Lai Junchen." ”

Li Zhen nodded, "Two gold medals of the Xingtang Society, one belongs to Li Yuanjia, and the other belongs to Li Guangshun, Lai Junchen connected the two through these two gold medals, and Li Guangshun became Li Yuanjia's rebellious accomplice." ”

"Then what do you mean by looking for me? You won't let me save Li Guangshun, right?" Shangguan Wan'er stared at Li Zhen sharply and asked coldly.

"I don't mean that, I guess I'm going to arrest Junchen today, but I have a copy of the impeachment of Lai Junchen, and I want to present it to Your Majesty, and I want to ask someone to pass it on for me. ”

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Li Zhen, her gaze gradually softened, she knew that Li Zhen could be handed over directly to the Holy Lord, but he still asked himself for help, indicating that he still hoped that he could help him.

Although Shangguan Wan'er was very dissatisfied with Li Zhen because of the restoration of the Goryeo Congress, she decided to help him again for the sake of her past feelings.

"Where's the scroll?"

Li Zhen took out the report on the impeachment of Lai Junchen from his arms, presented it to Shangguan Wan'er with both hands, Shangguan Wan'er took it and slowly unfolded it, and when she saw that thousands of words had been written, she nodded and said: "I'll take a look, and then forward it to the saint, since Lai Junchen wants to arrest you, you will stay with me for the time being, waiting for the summons of the saint." ”

"Thank you"

Li Zhen paused and said: "There is another matter, and the lowly position must also be reported to the people." ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's about Wu Sansi. ”

Shangguan Wan'er's face was a little unnatural, she was just angry about this matter, and the assassination of Xiangwang was obviously arranged by Wu Sansi, but in the end, all the responsibility was put on the Goryeo Restoration Congress, but Wu Sansi didn't have anything, Shangguan Wan'er didn't believe that Li Zhen didn't get Wu Sansi's evidence, but in the end the evidence was not submitted, and Shangguan Wan'er also vaguely guessed the reason for this.

"Tell me, Wu Sansi, what's going on there?"

Li Zhen knew that he couldn't hide that incident from Shangguan Wan'er, although he was very reluctant to tell Shangguan Wan'er, but he knew in his heart that if he didn't say it now, once Wu Sansi turned to himself, it was likely to anger Shangguan Wan'er, but it would be a bad thing, and if he thought about it, he still had to communicate with Shangguan Wan'er first.

"Humble and Wu Sansi made a deal. ”

"Deal?"

Shangguan Wan'er snorted coldly, "You returned Wu Sansi's letters and the like to him?"

"The lowly duty did not give him the letter" Li Zhen took out Wu Sansi's two letters from his arms, "The letter is here, if he is willing to help me bring down Lai Junchen, the lowly post will return the letter to him, when it is hot, if the people want these two letters, the lowly post is also willing to break the word." ”

Shangguan Wan'er was quite surprised, she didn't expect Li Zhen to hand over these two letters to herself, she stared at the letters for a moment, and shook her head, "You take these two letters back, he has a lot of handles, I don't need these two letters, since you have agreed, then return the letter to him, you can't afford to offend this person." ”

Speaking of this, Shangguan Wan'er sighed, "I know that you are a person with brains, and you are not willing to be a puppet of others, a manly man should have such ambitions, and I also hope that you can become a pillar of the court as soon as possible, you did the right thing in this matter, the Holy Lord will not punish King Liang, it is a wise move to make a deal with him, I am very happy that you can tell me about this." ”

"Thank you for your understanding"

Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said: "I believe that you will never have only this copy to deal with Lai Junchen, you must have found evidence, I won't ask you, depending on the situation, if the situation is not in your favor, I may be able to help you." ”

Li Zhen nodded silently, and gave a deep salute, "Wait outside for your humble position"

"Go, when I read the scroll, I'll go to the saint. ”

Li Zhen slowly retreated, and Shangguan Wan'er opened Li Zhen's impeachment scroll and looked at it carefully.

In the Department of Internal Guards, Lai Junchen led dozens of black warriors to rush into the gate, and he shouted loudly: "Where is Li Zhen?"

Last night, Li Guangshun fully confessed his collusion with Li Yuanjia, and at the same time admitted that Li Zhen had a relationship with Li Yuanjia, and signed the confession, which made Lai Junchen extremely proud, and with this confession, he had a reason to arrest Li Zhen.

Seeing that no one agreed, he shouted loudly: "I came by order, and Li Zhen came to receive the order."

After a while, I saw the new chief Shi Yang Xin slowly walk out, bowed down and saluted: "It turned out that he came to Zhongcheng, and the lower official was disrespectful." ”

"Hmph"

Lai Junchen snorted, "Where is your commander?" and let him come out to receive the order. ”

"It seems that our Commander Li has gone to the Imperial City Office early in the morning, do you need me to send someone to find him?"

Lai Junchen was stunned, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, Li Zhen rarely went to the internal office, but today he ran away, did he hear any rumors?

Lai Junchen ignored Yang Xin, turned around and rushed to the imperial city with his subordinates, he had to arrest Li Zhen first, and then force him to confess, with the confessions of Li Zhen and Li Guangshun, he could ask the Holy Lord to review the Prime Minister.

Lai Junchen ran all the way, and after a short time, he rushed to the official office of the internal guard in the imperial city, but coincidentally, he had just arrived at the official office of the internal guard, but he heard someone shouting in the distance: "Come to Zhongcheng"

I saw two eunuchs rushing in, panting and said: "We are looking for Zhongcheng everywhere, but we can be regarded as finding it, quickly." Come with us into the palace, and the Holy Lord will summon Zhongcheng. ”

Lai Junchen was taken aback, "Two fathers-in-law, what happened?"

"We don't know the specifics, but Commander Li of the internal guard is also there in the saint, and it seems that there is something to confront Zhongcheng."

Lai Junchen's mind buzzed, and he suddenly realized that Li Zhen had begun to fight back against him, it must have been his search of the Pure Land Temple that made Li Zhen in danger, of course he would not be arrested.

Lai Junchen was uneasy, he didn't know what Li Zhen was going to confront him, and he didn't have time to let him continue to think about it, so he had to follow the two eunuchs to the Zhenguan Palace

Not long after, Lai Junchen came to the imperial study, and the eunuch reported: "Your Majesty, you have arrived in Zhongcheng." ”

"Announce Him In"

Lai Junchen heard that the voice of the saint was a little displeased, and he became more and more uneasy in his heart, so he had to walk into the imperial study with a hard head, only to see that in the imperial study, Wu Zetian had a gloomy face, and Li Zhen stood next to him, and Shangguan Wan'er stood behind Wu Zetian.

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

"Lai Junchen"

Wu Zetian gritted his teeth and said: "You are so bold, you dare to bully the king."
