After meeting Li Xu last night, Cheng Qili sent four hundred soldiers of the Heavenly Army into the palace overnight, two hundred went to Qingliang Hall to prepare, and two hundred were near the Mingtang Palace.

Then summon Wen Minxing to enter the palace early this morning, if Wen Minxing does not enter the palace, then Cheng Qili will directly send Tianwei soldiers to give him a full house of punishment, the emperor personally led the soldiers to the palace, which Wen Party can't see the situation clearly, let him go to see the God Emperor.

If Wen Minxing enters the palace, then depending on his movements, he chooses to be killed or placed under house arrest.

Li Xu was unwilling to destroy the balance of the court by killing the Wen Party, but if the rest of the Wen Party could not see the situation clearly, then he would not be afraid to let more blood stain the horizontal knife of the Tianwei Army.

The emperor recruited Niu Monk and his children into the palace last night, left him to rest in the palace, and discussed the arrangements for today's court in the court.

Invite Pei Du to enter the court as the prime minister to divide the momentum of Han Gang, appoint Wen Min to appease the Wen Party in the service, muddy the situation on the table, and then introduce some young officials who Li Xu admires into the Privy Council as a confidant training, ready to lay the foundation for the next step of progress.

In order to achieve this goal, Li Xu did not hesitate to make transactions.

In his letter to Han Gang, he clearly assured that after he was pro-government, he would also respect the opinions of the ministers, and the reason why he wanted to kill the queen mother in advance was because the queen mother was too unreliable, and if she continued to be in charge, everyone would be finished together.

"The government is governed by the secretaries, and the sacrifices are few. This is Li Xu's guarantee to Han Gang, he promised not to interfere with the operation of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, and the ministers will be responsible for the specific implementation of national affairs. In the case that Han Gang has a wide range of henchmen, this almost guarantees that Han Gang can further grasp power.

At the same time, Li Xu also assured Han Gang that his family would be rich and prosperous for a long time. "If you are better than the Bu Lang, Zuo Jinwu, you will be able to keep your wealth and share your weal and woe with the country. "Since ancient times, it has been much more difficult to retreat from rapids than to climb peaks.

Han Gang is now a Zhongshu Ling, with many henchmen and a big family, and then after a hundred years, can his children and henchmen still retain their power and wealth?

Such a piece of fat will definitely attract the covetousness of countless people, and once Han Gang is gone, someone will pounce on it and feast on it. This is Han Gang's hidden worry, and the emperor is willing to provide a guarantee, under the emperor's favor, the Han family can still bloom flowers and cook oil.

In exchange, Han Gang needed to agree to Pei Du's return to the dynasty as prime minister, and wrote a letter asking the emperor to govern himself.

Chen Chaoen, who was the messenger last night, got a reply from Han Gang before he was hot, and Lao Linggong was willing to support His Majesty's pro-government, and believed that everything should be dictatorial by the Holy Monarch, and the so-called Qiangang was dictatorial, and Jane was in the emperor's heart.

Li Xu didn't have anything to say about Cheng Qili, but he only guaranteed two points, to avenge the God Emperor and liquidate the Queen Mother and the Wen family, so that the father-in-law could gain more power.

In fact, Cheng Qili also put forward several requirements, such as a few good ministers in the foreign court, hoping that His Majesty can appoint them to replace the core officials of the Wen Party, such as Jing Zhaoyin, Dali Siqing and Yushi Zhongcheng, these positions can be given up and replaced by these "loyal and patriotic" "promising officials".

For these requests, Li Xu did not fully agree after thinking about it, because it was just to deal with a queen mother, and he could not let the eunuchs extend their power to foreign courts. The eunuchs already have the military power of the central government, and if they are in control of the regime, the political situation is very dangerous.

However, Li Xu still agreed to Cheng Qili's request on the surface, and further proposed that after Pei Du left the post of Hedong Jiedu envoy, Yu Fuguo or Cheng Qili could propose a new candidate for the Hedong Jiedu envoy, and the emperor was willing to promote Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province to complete the appointment.

After all, it is easy to do things with the team, and the top priority of the court is to deal with the pressure of the Uighurs moving south, and Li Xu certainly hopes that the Hedong side under the pressure of the Uighurs can be united in civil and military force, closely rally around Yu Gonggong, and handle the current major affairs well.

All in all, as long as he can be pro-government, Li Xu can let anything and endure anything.

As for today's concessions, as long as they can get back the field in the future, what can it be?

When the Turks hit the city of Chang'an, Li Shimin went out of the city to ask for peace, which can be said to be a national shame. However, in the future, teach the soldiers and raise the people, and when the time comes, they will be able to turn over and counterattack, and let the proud sons of the Ashina family lead the horses and stirrups for the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Who can say that Li Shimin is not a good man and a good emperor?

The Queen Mother slept late last night, and her mind was still a little drowsy, but as a beast that fed on power, she instinctively felt danger at the moment.

Cheng Qili slowly reported the list of his Privy Council judgments.

"Bai Letian, Niu Shengru, Yuan Zhen, Li Shen, Li Deyu, Ling Hu Chu. Cheng Qili read the list prepared by the emperor. "What does Han Xiang think?"

Han Gang squinted his eyes as if he didn't hear clearly, paused, and then said, "They are all handsome for a while, and they can join the cardinal mansion." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Han Gang below through the bead curtain, and she believed that this old man had already seen the emperor's meaning through this list like herself.

Bai Lotian is the core figure of this concert to invite the emperor to pro-government, and his promotion to the Privy Council is a reward and a sign of the direction of the wind. Those who follow the emperor can be promoted to get rich and become an official, you do things for the emperor, and the emperor will not forget you.

As for the cow monks and children, the queen mother remembered that the emperor once went to Hongwen Hall to see this person, and it is estimated that he was mixed with Li Xu's little maid at that time, and she didn't notice it for a while. It's only to blame that little maid for being cowardly and soft all day long, so that he relaxed his vigilance.

Especially after the news of Li Xu's refusal to purge the Wen family by force reached the ears of the Queen Mother, she no longer took the little maid to heart, who knew that this time she actually stabbed a knife in her chest, and dared to borrow Cheng Qili's military power, and colluded with Han Gang's treacherous appearance to suddenly attack.

Yuan Zhen should have been bought by Li Xu, after all, he and Bai Lotian are best friends, but Wen Yuanheng hated that he couldn't see this person's wolf ambition, and repeatedly told himself that this person was also good at scheming in addition to literary talent, and he should be cultivated more, who knew that he would raise such a white-eyed wolf.

Linghu Chu is the secretary of Pei Du, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, and Li Deyu is the son of Li Jifu, the envoy of Jiannan and Sichuan Xijiedu, and letting the two of them enter the Privy Council is a move to tie up these two powerful ministers.

It's that Li Shen, the Queen Mother has no impression at all, I don't know where it is, the Queen Mother guessed that most of them were Cheng Qili or Yu Fuguo's characters in the bag.

"Queen Mother," Han Gang changed his words, "The old minister thinks that what Bai Letian said about the Son of Heaven is very appropriate, Jingzhao Yin Cui Qi is incompetent, and Wang Gong does not know the etiquette in the imperial history, so he should go to the throne to make Xian." ”

As soon as Han Gang's words came out, the ministers in the palace understood what kind of wind was blowing right now.

"Don't mourn the family!" the Queen Mother's cold voice came from behind the bead curtain. "The Son of Heaven is still young, and there are many immoral ......"

Cheng Qili ignored him: "There is an inner servant named Miao Siyi, who collided with the holy driver before, and the old slave has already ordered the Tianwei Army to take him, but he is afraid of those reckless palace people of the Queen Mother, so I ask the Queen Mother for forgiveness first." ”

The Queen Mother could no longer suppress the anger in her chest: "Ugly slave, do you want to kill the master!"

Han Gang then spoke: "Yuan Heng, you have literary and educational talents, the land of Chaozhou is barbaric, and it needs to be edified, you should be the assassin of Chaozhou." ”

There was a bang, and a beautiful woman in palace clothes walked out of the bead curtain, and she finally appeared in the Mingtang Palace as a woman like the Holy Queen, but there was a world of difference between this time and then.

"Han Gang, have you forgotten the kindness of my Wen family?" The Queen Mother's crimson face was better than the plum blossom makeup on her eyebrows: "You have slept on the embroidery bed in the palace!"

Han Gang's face changed unchanged, and then he asked Wen Yuanheng: "Yuanheng, what do you think? It's not that Chaozhou is not good, so how about Yazhou? Qiongzhou or Zhenzhou?"

Wen Yuanheng silently walked out of the court class and knelt on the ground, and after kowtowing respectfully to the Queen Mother, he said: "Weichen went out of Chaozhou according to the order of the Queen Mother, and he will definitely live up to the Queen Mother's intentions." ”

"Li Xu, a cheap maid, as well as Han Gang, you old thief, Cheng Qili, you ugly slave, do you think our Wen family is dead?"

Han Gang ignored her, and summoned the officials one by one to give orders according to the usual practice, and the officials returned to Han Gang as if the Queen Mother did not exist.

Cheng Qili stood aside with his hands in his hands, watching the roaring Queen Mother's voice gradually lower and gradually hoarse, and gradually retreated behind the bead curtain, letting the tears fall like beads.

Bai Letian's original sweat-soaked court clothes had dried up at this time, he had told his younger brother like a will this morning, and came to Mingtang Palace with the courage to die, but he didn't expect that when the court situation was about to end, the ending would be so dreamy, but so real.

"Micro. Bai Lotian whispered the words of his friend Yuan Zhen, but he saw that Yuan Zhen had seven points of fear, two points of happiness, and a point of confusion on his face, and he had thousands of questions in his heart for a while, and he didn't know how to say it at this time.

Time flowed little by little with the water in the leakage, the court meeting was almost over, only Wen Yuanheng was still kneeling in the Mingtang Palace, his shadow seemed to be infinitely long, extending to the south of Nanling.

The phoenix in the sky above Bai Yujing fell, and Bai Juyi couldn't help but think after looking at the bead curtain, will the dragon rise into the air?
