Chinese New Year's Eve is no longer in the mood for many court officials to deal with government affairs, they are all waiting for the five-day New Year's holiday that begins after noon, and most of them spend the last day of the new year in groups of three or five gathering and chatting.

But one thing that no one could have imagined was unexpectedly born, and the saint issued an edict to remove Wang Hongyi from his post for the crime of deceiving the king, exiled him to Lingnan, and at the same time removed Xue Huaiyi from the post of general of the right guard, which shocked the government and the opposition like a bombshell.

Yesterday, Wang Hongyi was also impeached in the early dynasty for the impeachment of Li Zhen, the deputy commander of the internal guard, for indiscriminately killing innocents, but only one day later, Wang Hongyi was dismissed from his post and questioned, and Xue Huaiyi was also punished.

In the provincial government office under the door, Su Wei hid a bottle of wine under his armpit and sneaked into Li Dezhao's official room, and the smile on his face seemed to bloom, "Li Xiangguo, you heard the news!"

Li Dezhao narrowed his old eyes like a hundred-year-old turtle, he noticed a bulging piece under Su Wei's armpit, and asked with a smile: "Does Su Xiangguo want to have a drink with me?"

Su Wei took out the wine and said with a smile: "Tomorrow is the New Year, I will first toast Li Xiang with a few glasses of wine to celebrate the New Year." ”

Both of them laughed tacitly, Li Dezhao asked the scholar to bring the wine glass, the two sat down at the small table, Li Dezhao picked up the wine bottle and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's Jin Shihong, this wine is good, I often drink this wine at home, it is said that even the saint is full of praise." ”

Su Wei filled him with a glass of wine, and asked cautiously: "What does Li Xiang think of today's edict? The result will come out in only one day, and many people will find it difficult to understand!"

"What's so hard about that?"

Li Dezhao sneered and said: "It can only be said that Wang Hongyi is too stupid, eager to protect the Lord, and actually impeached the internal guard, doesn't he know that the internal guard is likely to carry out the secret decree of the Holy Lord?"

"Yes, I can't understand either, this Wang Hongyi doesn't even have the least enlightenment, how did he get into the Yushitai?" Su Wei also drank a glass of wine and sighed.

"It's not that he is unconscious, it's that he doesn't believe that the saint will move Xue Huaiyi at all, he still thinks that as before, whoever touches Xue Huaiyi is touching the tiger's buttocks, so he didn't even ask the master for instructions, so the monkey jumped out in a hurry, who will die if he doesn't die?"

Li Dezhao's wrinkled face was full of disdain, he was famous for his good wine and immeasurable in the court, and after only drinking a glass of wine, Li Dezhao's neck was even red, like a boiled prawn, and his speech was a little inconsiderate.

"However, it was beyond my expectation that the Holy Lord removed Xue Huaiyi's Right Guard General, I thought she would remove Xue Huaiyi from the post of Chief of the Right Guard, it seems that the Holy Lord also knows that Xue Huaiyi has a wrong mind!"

Li Dezhao's words frightened Su Wei's face white, he quickly got up and closed the door, came back and asked in a low voice: "I heard that there are tens of thousands of warrior monks in the White Horse Temple, is this rumor true?"

"No wind, no waves, come, drink, drink, let's not talk about it. ”

In the imperial study, Princess Taiping diligently sorted out the mountains of music scrolls for her mother, while chatting with her mother very casually.

"Tomorrow is the New Year, why doesn't my mother want to go out for a walk?"

"I originally planned to go to Songshan to seal Zen, but my health was not very good after the winter this year, and my body was sore, so I had to postpone it until next year, Ling Yue, why did you think of asking about it?"

Wu Zetian loves this little daughter very much, thinking that she is very similar to herself, very capable, visionary, courageous, she even had the idea of passing the throne to her daughter, but she also felt that this idea was a bit ridiculous, so she didn't mention it again, but she didn't know that her daughter engraved it in her heart for an unintentional word a few years ago.

Princess Taiping sighed, "Actually, I want to persuade my mother to go out for a walk, to distract herself, and at the same time to create an opportunity to ease the contradictions within the Wu clan." ”

Wu Zetian's face immediately became grim, and his eyes stared sharply at his daughter, "Why do you say that?"

Princess Taiping knelt down, "The daughter didn't dare to hide her mother, the daughter heard the concubine say that the king of Liang publicly insulted the king of Wei at the clan gathering, and the concubine said a few words of justice for the king of Wei, but was beaten by the king of Liang and scolded him......"

"What are you scolding him?" Wu Zetian's eyes also showed anger, she also heard that Wu Sansi used the excuse of the clan sacrifice to organize clan gatherings many times, taking the opportunity to win over cronies, suppress dissidents, and make the Wu clan into a miasma, which really made Wu Zetian dissatisfied.

The daughter didn't dare to say it. ”

"Say!"

Princess Taiping trembled and said: "He scolded the horse for being the dog of the King of Wei, in fact, the horse never interacted with the King of Wei, and he was really beaten wrongly." ”

Princess Taiping really knows her mother too well, she knows what to say and what not to say, although what she said seems to be stirring up the relationship within the Wu family, as long as she doesn't mention the Li royal family, as long as she doesn't mention the two brothers Li Xian and Li Dan, then she won't violate her mother's taboo.

Instead, the mother will think that she has completely regarded herself as the daughter-in-law of the martial arts family, and she is suing for her husband.

Princess Taiping is not only because she received Wu Furong's Night Pearl, she also has a deeper consideration, Wu Sansi and Shangguan Wan'er are too close, she needs to use Wu Chengsi to weaken Wu Sansi's power, and use the contradiction between Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi to divide the Wu family, so as to capture part of the Wu family's power into her own hands.

And rescuing Wu Chengsi from captivity is her best chance to win over the Wu clan's forces.

Princess Taiping knew very well in her heart that if she directly proposed to release Wu Chenghe, her mother might not agree, but if she hinted in a roundabout way and reminded her mother to pay attention to the balance within the Wu clan, her mother might think of the role of Wu Chenghe.

Wu Zetian was disturbed by her daughter's words, she slowly walked to the window with her hands in her hands, and stared at the Mingtang phoenix in the distance for a long time.

Of course, she knew that there were many internal contradictions in the martial family, and at first they were in trouble for the division of feuds and unfair rewards, and then gradually divided into two factions, King Wei and King Liang, and finally quieted down because the forces were balanced.

Now that the King of Wei is imprisoned, and the King of Liang has begun to make trouble again, the already calm Wu clan has fallen into unrest, is it really only by releasing the King of Wei that the internal strife within the Wu clan can be quelled?

Wu Zetian sighed, tomorrow is the New Year, let's let him go back for the New Year!

At this moment, Wu Zetian suddenly came to his senses, glanced back at his daughter, and said coldly: "Ling Yue, you come to intercede for Wu Chenghe!"

Princess Taiping was startled, her mind was actually seen through by her mother, and she hurriedly said: "Mother, it is true that the horse was injured by King Liang, and the daughter did not dare to deceive her mother, not ...... It was not to intercede for King Wei. ”

Speaking of the back, she was weak for a while, and she couldn't say it anymore, Wu Zetian sat back in his seat, stared at her for a moment, and said lightly: "It's okay for you to intercede for Wu Chenghe, I can also agree, but there are some things that you don't want to be very satisfied with." ”

Princess Taiping lowered her head, not daring to say more, Wu Zetian picked up the report of Dali Qing Li Yuan on the table, flipped through it slightly, and looked at her meaningfully: "It is also an internal guard, a deputy commander overthrew Wei Shifang and annihilated the evil monks of the White Horse Temple, and he is very courageous, but the other deputy commander is doing nothing, Ling Yue, the person you recommend is not powerful!"

Princess Taiping immediately understood her mother's hint, that is, she hoped that she would also make achievements in Xue Huaiyi's affairs, and not let Shangguan Wan'er take all the credit.

She didn't want to ask Xue Huaiyi about it anymore and admit defeat to Shangguan Wan'er in this matter, but her mother's hint made her seem to see hope again, and her heart began to be alive again, where should she start?

At the same time that Princess Taiping was cleaning up her mother's room, Shangguan Wan'er was also in her official room to review the recitals sent from all over the country for Wu Zetian.

The end of the year and the beginning of the year are also her busiest times, and there are mountains of scrolls sent every day, at this time, Xiao'e whispered at the door: "Girl, Imperial Doctor Shen is here!"

"Let him in!"

After a while, Shen Nanmu walked in quickly, bowed down and said, "See Sheren!"

Shen Nanmu was introduced to the palace as a royal doctor by Shangguan Wan'er's grandfather, Shangguan Yi, and twenty years have passed in a flash, but Shen Nanmu has always remembered Shangguan Wan'er's kindness, so the palace generally thinks that Shen Nanmu is Shangguan Wan'er's person.

Shangguan Wan'er put down her pen, picked up a New Year's duty list and asked, "Last time you sued me, you were on duty tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve, but this list is not, what's going on?"

"Hui Sheren, I was originally on duty, but the imperial doctor Wang said that he had something to do in the third year of junior high school and wanted to change it with me, so I changed it with him, and I was on duty in the third year of junior high school. ”

Shangguan Wan'er's face turned gloomy, "Why don't you sue me for such an important matter?"

"I don't know how important this humble position is to be on duty tonight, if I think it's inappropriate, I'll just change it back. “

Shangguan Wan'er redrew the list and handed it to him: "Today is very important, you must be on duty, otherwise, I will send someone to your house to find you." ”

Shen Nanmu took the list and said in fear: "This is the lowly position, so I will get it back!"

Shangguan Wan'er's face turned a little pale, and she said slowly: "Have you thought about what I told you last time?"

Shen Nanmu lowered his head and said after a while: "Humble position...... Think about it. ”

Shangguan Wan'er smiled and nodded, "Many things need opportunities, seize the opportunities, and you can rise overnight, if you let the opportunities slip through your fingers, then you will be an unknown little imperial doctor for the rest of your life, understand?"

"Humble duty understands!"

"Alright, go back! ”

Shen Nan bowed falsely, and retreated with a heavy heart, Shangguan Wan'er did not have the heart to review the performance paper again, she put down the pen, came to the window with her hand, staring at the polo field in the distance, she suddenly remembered Li Zhen, I don't know how he spent Chinese New Year's Eve tonight?

Although the court officials still have to go to court for half a day on Chinese New Year's Eve, it is already the beginning of the New Year's holiday for ordinary people.

In addition to tree poles, sticking to the door gods, preparing chicken, duck, fish and meat, and Tusu wine, many people also go to the temple on Chinese New Year's Eve to make a vow, return the vows they made in front of the Buddha, and then welcome the new year with ease.

Li Zhen didn't have anything to do today, he went to the Imperial City Health Department early in the morning for a walk, and handed over the transfer of Jiuzhi and Zhang Li to Cui Shaoying, the chief historian, and Li Zhen went home, he had already said that he would accompany his eldest sister to the Pure Land Temple to repay his vows today.

"Why doesn't my sister go to Kobo Temple?"

Li Zhen asked with a smile: "Hongfa Temple is next to Nanshi, and the scale is not small, but the eldest sister wants to go to the Pure Land Temple, is it because of Aunt Meng?"

Li Quan's face sank, and he said angrily: "Don't mention her to me, I will be angry when I mention her." ”

"What's the matter, you're arguing again?"

In Li Zhen's memory, the relationship between the eldest sister's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been very tense, and they have to quarrel every once in a while.

Li Quan snorted coldly and said: "In the past, she was a layman in Hongfa Temple, donating money to Hongfa Temple, I don't talk about her, but half a month ago, she was fascinated by the pure light of Linzhi Temple, and became a faithful believer of that demon nun, and in less than half a month, she donated hundreds of dollars to Linzhi Temple, did she rob my money?"

Li Zhen knew that the so-called pure light Rulai was the old nun of Hanoi, and she was brought into Beijing by Xue Huaiyi together with Wei Shifang, but her reputation was more stinky by Wei Shifang, and the people of Luoyang gradually saw through her true face, and they all called her a demon nun, why was Aunt Meng fascinated by this demon nun?

The old woman was afraid of dying, and when she heard that she could live a long life by donating money, she was fascinated, and she did all the stupid things in Dunhuang, and I couldn't say anything about her when she ran to Luoyang or did stupid things. ”

"Sister, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, so let's open it!"

"Well, I also consoled myself in this way, fortunately the Buddha slave treated me well, otherwise I would never allow her to be such a loser. ”

Li Zhen didn't want to say any more, he pointed to the crowd of people in front of him and smiled: "Could it be that everyone is going to the Pure Land Temple? ”

"You don't know! Chinese New Year's Eve is the custom of Luoyang, of course there are many people this year, Ah Zhen, let's leave after the incense, don't delay too long in the temple." ”

"Got it!"

As the two siblings approached the temple, they saw a crowd of people, and the whole temple was crowded with people who had come to pay their vows, and the open space in front of the temple was full of horse-drawn carriages, and it was difficult for them to find a place to store their livestock.

"Ah Zhen, there are too many people!"

Li Quan looked helplessly at the crowd in front of the temple, when was it going to be her finished incense, and she would go back to Zhangluodian!

Li Zhen looked around, looking for a place to store his horses, when he faintly heard someone calling to him, "Li Gongzi!"

As soon as Li Zhen turned around, he saw a middle-aged man running not far away, sweating profusely, and saluted Li Zhen, "Master Li, my master is invited!"

Li Zhen looked at where he came from, and saw a rather gorgeous carriage parked dozens of steps away, followed by five or six horseback attendants, at this time, the curtain opened, and Li Zhen saw a beautiful woman, it was Wang Qingyu, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Ah Zhen, who is that little lady, so handsome?" Li Quan also saw Wang whispering.

Li Zhen whispered to the eldest sister: "Sister, she is Wang Yuanbao's sister." ”

Li Quan was suddenly surprised, it turned out to be Wang Yuanbao's sister, then she must know each other, Wang's wine shop is now her food and clothing parents.

"Ah Zhen, don't go up quickly, the girl is waiting for you!" Li Quan urged his brother.

Li Zhen understood the eldest sister's thoughts, and he really didn't want the eldest sister to have any business dealings with Wang Qingyu, but since he had met him, he could only go and say hello.

He turned over and dismounted, walked forward slowly, and said with a smile: "Why is Miss Wang in Luoyang?"

After the accident of her brother Wang Yuanbao, Wang Qingyu took on all the business of the Wang family, and has been going back and forth between Luoyang and Chang'an.

Wang Qingyu saw Li Quan behind Li Zhen, and she guessed that this person should be Li Zhen's eldest sister, and it was rude to sit in the carriage and talk.

She hurriedly got out of the carriage and said with a smile: "My father is in Luoyang, and when the New Year comes, the whole family must be reunited!"

Li Zhen scratched his head, "That's right, I'm confused." ”

Li Quan secretly looked at Wang Qingyu behind Li Zhen, and saw that she was as beautiful as a fairy, wearing a white fox fur jacket and a golden silk skirt, with a slender figure and elegant temperament, she seemed to be a little more beautiful than that Di Yan, and saw her looking at her brother with a shy smile.

She immediately laughed meaningfully, coughed lightly, and deliberately asked, "Ah Zhen, who is this girl?"
