Wu Sansi finally handed over the Mingtang to the Shengshang, and he was canonized as Xiangguo as he wished, and served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the Pingzhang of the Tongzhongshu Menxia, second only to Lou Shide and Zong Chuke, but I heard that Su Wei was reinstated again, and even Di Renjie was reactivated.

Su Wei he doesn't care, although his ability is good, but he is timid and afraid of things, and he is a submissive person, but Wu Sansi is very jealous of Di Renjie, and even hates him deeply, although Di Renjie was strongly opposed to Wu Chengji as the prince last time, but Wu Sansi knows that once he wants to become the prince, Di Renjie will also strongly oppose it, but the saint believes Di Renjie's words very much, which makes Wu Sansi both annoyed and annoyed in his heart, but he has nothing to do.

In the evening, Wu Sansi returned to the mansion, as soon as he entered the study, he was impatient to ask Mr. Ming to come over, and after a while, Mr. Ming walked into Wu Sansi's study quickly, bowed down and said: "See the prince"

"Sit down, how can there be so much etiquette?" Wu Sansi waved his hand impatiently.

Mr. Ming glanced at Wu Sansi in surprise, he actually knew Wu Sansi too well, he would only be so impatient if he was upset, after a little thought, Mr. Ming understood, he sat down and smiled: "The prince is in a better mood today, but it is very bad." ”

Not only was he in a bad mood, Wu Sansi was simply upset, he paced back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands, and for a while, he hated and said: "There is still a place for Xiangguo in the Political Affairs Hall, Zong Chuke recommended Liu Binghe, the Taishou of Jingzhou, to be appointed, but the saint made it clear that this position of Xiangguo can only be appointed by Di Ren, and it is also a Zhongshu order."

Mr. Ming was also taken aback, Zhongshu Ling was the number one Xiangguo, and he asked urgently: "Isn't Zhongshu Ling Lou Shide?"

"Lou Shide will be reappointed as the internal history and take over the position of the original Li Dezhao. ”

Wu Sansi took a few more steps, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I decided to take advantage of Di Renjie's appointment in Hebei to send someone to assassinate him halfway, does Mr. think it's feasible?"

Mr. Ming knew that this was the reason why Wu Sansi was upset, he had already made a killing move, and he was a little worried, Mr. Ming knew that Wu Sansi had made up his mind, so he said: "If the prince must do it, it's not impossible, but it's better to borrow a knife to kill people, don't do it yourself." ”

"Whose knife did you borrow?" Wu Sansi looked at Mr. Ming expectantly.

Mr. Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, there is a person who the prince can use. ”

He whispered a few words, Wu Sansi suddenly came to his senses, and frowned again: "But it doesn't seem appropriate for me to go to him."

Mr. Ming smiled faintly, "Okay, I'll do a little trick and let him apologize to the prince."

This time, Wu Zetian sent a large army to quell the Khitan Rebellion, but the most disappointed was Wu Yizong, who was the king of Hanoi and the general of Zuo Jinwu, no matter in terms of seniority or military connections, he was stronger than Wu Youyi, but in the end, the saint did not send him to lead the army, but let his brother Wu Youyi, who he usually despised, lead the army to the battle, which really made him very angry.

Of course, Wu Yizong also knew the reason, this was because Wu Youyi was recommended by Wu Sansi, and he belonged to another faction of the Wu clan and was suppressed by Wu Sansi.

During this time, Wu Yizong was really depressed, since he returned halfway due to the assassination of Yangzhou, the credit went to Li Zhen, and the saint was also very disappointed in him, ignoring his injuries, making him faintly have a bad feeling that he would be refrigerated.

At noon that day, Wu Yizong was drinking sullen wine alone in the room, when the voice of the housekeeper came from outside the door, "Lord Wang, Yang Nei is here." ”

Wu Yizong suddenly perked up, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite him to my outer study."

A glimmer of hope rose in Wu Yizong's heart, Yang Shanning must have come to his mansion with deep meaning, he hurriedly changed his clothes and hurried to the outer study.

Yang Shanning is also one of the four major chamberlains in the Inner Servant Province, about forty years old, very white skin, with a pair of slender and narrow eyes, always giving people a thoughtful feeling, in recent months he has been repeatedly favored for his thoughtfulness of the Holy Will, and has gradually replaced Gao Yanfu.

Yang Shanning sat in the study and drank tea slowly, of course he came to find Wu Yizong today with deep meaning, he was Wu Sansi's confidant in the palace, because Lai Junchen was killed, Liu Guangye was assassinated, and Ji Ji, who was supported by Princess Taiping, won the position of Zhongcheng in the imperial history, which made Wu Sansi particularly isolated.

And recently another major event happened, Wu Sansi's old rival Di Renjie was used again, so that Wu Sansi had a strong sense of crisis, under the persuasion of Mr. Ming, Wu Sansi decided to retreat and form a network, first unify the Wu clan, and the key to unifying the Wu clan is on Wu Yizong, and now Wu Yizong is snubbed by the saint, so that Wu Sansi sees the opportunity.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, Yang Shanning was a eunuch who was very good at watching people's hearts, from Wu Yizong's hurried footsteps, he knew Wu Yizong's eagerness, he smiled proudly, knowing how to deal with Wu Yizong.

Wu Yizong broke into the room, and Yang Shanning got up and saluted with a smile: "The old slave sees the king of the county."

"Father-in-law doesn't have to be polite, please sit"

Wu Yizong invited Yang Shanning to sit down, and let the maid serve tea again, he was a little anxious in his heart, and asked, "Why did my father-in-law think of coming over today?"

"I happened to go out for a while, so I stopped by to see the county king. ”

When Wu Yizong heard that he didn't come by order, he suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart, and his eyes showed an irrepressible look of disappointment, Yang Shanning saw it in his eyes, and asked pretending to be concerned: "Is the injury on the county king's leg a little healed?"

"It's been around for a long time"

Wu Yizong said angrily: "I thought that the Holy Lord cared about my injury, it seems that even if I die for ten years, the Holy Lord may not know." ”

Yang Shanning laughed and said: "The king of the county can't be so pessimistic, the saint originally valued you very much, has the king forgotten? ”

Wu Yizong sighed depressedly, "But I don't know why the Holy Lord treated me so coldly during this time, is it because I didn't go well when I went to Yangzhou, but I can't be blamed for that incident, how did I know that I would be assassinated halfway?"

Yang Shanning knew that the time was ripe, and he could induce Wu Yizong step by step, he shook his head and said: "Actually, the saint also talked about this matter by chance, the saint does have a great opinion on the county king, and even is very dissatisfied with the county king, but the reason is not a trip to Yangzhou, but because the county king has ruined her big thing." ”

Wu Yizong was taken aback and asked anxiously: "Where did I break the great affairs of the saint, please tell my father-in-law, I don't even know about it." ”

Yang Shanning glanced back at the two maids standing at the door, and Wu Yizong understood. Immediately glared at the maid fiercely, "You stand down"

The two maids hurriedly retreated, and Yang Shanning got up again and closed the door, only then did he walk back and whisper to Wu Yizong: "I don't say that the king of the county should also know that the saint's lifelong goal is to replace Tang with martial arts and establish the Wu clan in the world. ”

Wu Yizong nodded, of course he knew about the goal of the Holy Lord, but-

He sighed and said: "Our Wu clan and the saint have the same goal, but I don't quite understand why the saint is so hesitant, obviously found out the Xingtang Society, simply wiped it out, and wiped out the Li family's royal family, so there is no so much trouble, but he looked ahead and looked back, and finally slaughtered the Lai Junchen who was bent on eradicating the Xingtang Society, which is simply the pain of the relatives and the happiness of the enemy, which makes people feel depressed." ”

"Things are not that simple, after all, the people of the world still have their hearts towards Li Tang, if they are hasty, it will provoke a violent resistance, has Li Jingye forgotten the rebel county king back then?"

Wu Yizong also sighed and lowered his head in frustration, he actually didn't care much about this issue, relatively speaking, he was more concerned about how to change the saint's indifference to him, Yang Shanning looked at him deeply, he knew that Wu Yizong had already taken the bait, and now it was time to pull the hook.

He said unhurriedly: "In order to allow the Wu clan to replace Li Tang, the saint has made a lot of arrangements, including making the Wu clan king, but it takes more time, but the Wu clan's internal strife makes her very passive, and many plans cannot be implemented, in order to bridge the internal contradictions of the Wu clan, the saint even did not hesitate to exile Wu Chenghei to Lingnan." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Shanning stopped talking dramatically, and Wu Yizong's face showed an expression of sudden realization, which meant that he had completely taken the bait, and he said to himself: "It turns out that the Holy Lord exiled the third uncle because he wanted to bridge the internal contradictions in the family, and Wu Yizong was convinced of this explanation, because he was very aware of the internal struggle between Wu Chengji and Wu Sansi.

At this time, Wu Yizong suddenly understood, and he hesitated and asked, "When my father-in-law said that I had broken the great affairs of the Holy Lord, did he mean the contradiction between me and the fourth uncle?"

Yang Shanning nodded slowly, "It is because of the contradiction between the county king and the king of Liang that the saint's intention to exile Wu Chenghei has failed, and it has also made her efforts to bridge the internal contradictions of the Wu clan fail, which has seriously affected her strategy of replacing Tang with martial arts, so the saint is very dissatisfied with the county king, and does not hide from His Highness that the saint has already killed His Highness." ”

"Ahh

Wu Yizong screamed in fright, he suddenly became frightened, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I beg my father-in-law to show me a way out."

Yang Shanning knew that he couldn't say it, if he said it, Wu Yizong would see through his motives, and he had to let Wu Yizong understand it himself.

He pretended to regret and sighed, "I just came to remind the king of the county for the sake of many years of friendship, I can't bear the king of the county to repeat the mistakes of Junchen, and the king of Junchen is because he ignores the intentions of the saint, and is bent on overthrowing the king of Xiangwang and the king of Luling, so that the king of the county has to get rid of him, the king of the county, don't underestimate the will of the saint, anyone who dares to do something bad to her, she will not hesitate to get rid of it, please think about what to do for yourself, I will do it all, the king of the county will do it himself"

After speaking, Yang Shanning got up to say goodbye, Wu Yizong hurriedly took three hundred taels of gold and stuffed it to Yang Shanning, he knew what he needed to use to maintain the friendship between them, Yang Shanning pretended to postpone it twice, then took the gold and left.

Yang Shanning left, but Wu Yizong paced back and forth in the room in distraught, thinking that if he escaped the eradication of the saint, Yang Shanning's words made him wake up like a dream.

Especially the fate of Lai Junchen made him even more frightened, he was not stupid, he knew very well what Yang Shanning did not say, that is, the key to solving his crisis, that is, Wu Sansi.

Wu Yizong also knew that if Wu Sansi repaired the Ming Hall, he would definitely be more favored by the saints, if he didn't bow his head again, I am afraid that it would not only be as simple as having no future, but it was very likely that he would even lose his life.

Wu Yizong finally gritted his teeth, or when it was time to bow his head, he should bow his head
