The sky is gradually falling, and the fish belly is white.

A new day is about to begin.

When the chiming bell of the Bell and Drum Tower rang several times, the entire Tang Chang'an woke up from its slumber.

In the Zichen Palace.

Li Zhi, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, rubbed his tired eyes, and sat on his warm seat with the support of Wang Fusheng.

Today is not the day of the morning meeting, but there are still endless twists and turns to see and state affairs to deal with.

In addition to state affairs, what made him even more anxious was the prince's body.

The crown prince Li Hong is the next monarch of his choice, and he has been carefully cultivated over the years.

His health is getting worse and worse, the crown prince is the hope of Datang in the future.

But now, the prince's body is in trouble.

If something happens to the prince, the country will be shaken.

How can this country be stable.

Thinking of seeing the prince's sick appearance yesterday, coughing out of breath, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

I didn't even have the heart to look at the twists and turns in front of me.

Wu Meiniang these days, because of the prince's affairs, in addition to the court meeting, routinely participates with Li Zhi, and stays by the side of the prince Li Hong on weekdays.

Li Hong rubbed his eyebrows and sighed secretly.

"Your Majesty~"

Outside the hall, a eunuch came in and saluted: "Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the bad handsome of Chang'an County, Su Dawei asks to see." ”

"Huh?"

Li Zhi was slightly surprised: "So early, why did he come." ”

After thinking about it, it seemed that Su Dawei had something to find himself yesterday, but he didn't have time to say it yet.

Thinking of this, he nodded: "Let him in." ”

It's also a strange thing.

On weekdays, Su Dawei seems to be hiding, and he is reluctant to enter the palace.

If others have this relationship with Wu Mei, it is strange that the threshold of the palace ban must not be broken.

But Su Dawei is different from others.

was not summoned by Li Zhi or Wu Meiniang, and he rarely took the initiative to enter the palace.

This time it's unusual, and it seems that something is really wrong.

Thinking in his heart, Li Zhi concentrated on opening the first fold in front of him.

This is his habit, many years of imperial career, looking through the twists and turns, is the best way to calm the mind.

As soon as I read a few lines, I heard the voice of a eunuch in front of me, and then Su Dawei's voice.

"Minister, Su Dawei, I have seen Your Majesty, may Your Majesty have a healthy body and a long life."

Only then did Li Zhi raise his head and pull his gaze from Su Dawei's body.

At a glance, Li Zhi was slightly surprised.

Su Dawei seems to be a little haggard.

The hair is a little unkempt, not like it used to be meticulously combed.

The stubble of the chin is clearly visible.

The complexion is also a little bad.

"Ami, although I ordered you to investigate the case, you also have to pay attention to your body, you are the minister I rely on, if the prince ascends the throne in the future, I also need you to guard the frontier for the Tang Dynasty and pacify the four yi."

This can be regarded as Li Zhi's rare heartfelt words.

However, Su Dawei also heard another meaning from it at the same time.

Ducha Temple, not a word is mentioned.

Is Li Zhi using such a seemingly encouraging and hanging carrot in front of him to remind Su Dawei that he wants to hand over the authority of Ducha Temple?

These thoughts flashed through his mind.

Su Dawei crossed his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Tang Dynasty needs Your Majesty, and the ministers ...... It is a brick of the Tang Dynasty, and what His Majesty needs the minister to do, the minister will do. ”

Attitude, attitude comes first.

Putting aside the authority of the Ducha Temple for the time being, if there is a problem with the attitude, Li Zhi's current killing is decisive.

The eldest grandson Wuji can't be saved.

What's more, he Su Dawei.

It is the best policy to retreat as advance.

Su Dawei's words obviously made Li Zhi very satisfied.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty, stroking the table with his hand, laughed twice, coughed and gasped for a while, pointed at Su Dawei and said, "Ami, you are becoming more and more able to speak now, cunning." ”

"Ami's loyalty to His Majesty can be seen every day."

Su Dawei flattered again, and changed his words and said: "The minister asked to see His Majesty today, and because he encountered a difficult matter, he asked His Majesty to be the master of the minister." ”

"Oh?"

Li Zhi was still a little surprised, in his impression, Su Dawei would never make any requests.

Belongs to the kind of person who does things with his head down.

Today the sun came out of the west, not only did he have a very low attitude, but he also said that he was asked to call the shots?

Li Zhi's eyes flashed, he put away his smile and nodded: "You tell me to listen, I have my own decision." ”

"Yes."

Su Dawei hugged his fists.

"This matter is related to the case of Princess Gaoyang."

"Something to do with Gao Yang?"

Li Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly: "Did you find a clue about the person behind the scenes?" Or is there someone obstructing the case? ”

"Yes and no."

Su Dawei slowed down his speech, as if he said word by word: "The minister does have a new clue, and this person is the minister who does not dare to move, so he can only ask for His Majesty." ”

"Ha, who else is you Su Dawei dare not move, in this court, except for me and Mei Niang, you ......"

Li Zhi's voice suddenly stopped.

He reacted, his eyes fell on Su Dawei's body, and he said in a deep voice: "What are you talking about, is it the prime minister?" ”

"Exactly."

Su Dawei crossed his hands and continued: "It's Zhongshu Ling Li Yifu. ”

After saying this, the entire Zichen Hall fell into a deathly silence.

Wang Fusheng and other eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting for Li Zhi were secretly frightened one by one.

Although he stood still, his eyes unconsciously turned to Su Dawei.

And Li Zhi, who was sitting on the upper seat, was also quiet for a while.

His gaze, with coldness and scrutiny, was fixed on Su Dawei's body, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

It seems that Li Zhi is judging and thinking about whether what Su Dawei said is really true, or because he smelled about Ducha Temple's own plans, so he dealt with Li Yifu in advance.

If it is the latter, then Su Dawei is more threatening than he imagined.

It must be removed.

A trace of blood red appeared in Li Zhi's eyes.

For a long time, his hand gently caressed the arm of the large chair.

The armrest was habitually stroked by him, and it had already been pulped, smooth and shiny.

Li Zhi opened his mouth and said: "Zhongshu Ling, he is indeed a high authority, can you tell me in detail, what is his relationship with this case?" ”

This sentence was faintly tinged with a hint of suspicion.

It's not that Li Zhi believes in Li Yifu so much.

But normal people will doubt Su Dawei's intentions and motives.

Li Yifu, as a Zhongshu Ling, has no grievances and no enmity with Gao Yang, why is it necessary to destroy his future and be involved in Gao Yang's case?

Doesn't make sense.

Su Dawei sorted out his thoughts and said slowly and solemnly: "This matter should start with the treasure pillow of the first emperor. ”

"First Emperor Treasure Pillow?"

Li Zhi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that this matter would involve Taizong Li Shimin.

This made him feel a sense of interest in pursuing the truth, and raised his voice a little and said, "Go on." ”

"Yes."

Su Dawei thought sideways: "That is still a matter of the Yonghui period, the minister was entrusted by the Empress Wu to investigate the case of rebellion with Princess Gaoyang...... The Jinbao Divine Pillow, according to Master Xuanzang, has the breath of a curse.

The minister later placed the treasure pillow with the mage.

But the mage said that the time was too long for him to recover.

Later, I forgot to ask the master for it.

I almost forgot about it.

Until yesterday, a Dharma master from the Great Mercy and Grace Temple came to see the minister......"

Su Dawei explained the cause and effect of this matter to Li Zhi in detail.

Until last night, I sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion and was in the mansion of Li Yifu, and saw Li Yifu with a Jinbao God pillow.

Li Zhi's face finally changed subtly.

Su Dawei saw it at a glance and knew that he had made the right bet.

In front of Li Zhi, he said unabashedly that he had infiltrated the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was a very dangerous thing.

It is likely that Li Zhi will end Su Dawei's authority as the secretary of the Ducha Temple ahead of schedule.

However, judging from Li Zhi's reaction, Su Dawei's guess was confirmed.

Li Zhi didn't know that the treasure pillow was in Li Yifu's hands, and he didn't know that Li Yifu was so rebellious, not only collecting the Jinbao Divine Pillow privately, but also using the pillow himself.

This pillow was given by Taizong to Princess Gaoyang.

It is a royal treasure.

You are a courtier, no matter how high your position is, how can you use this treasure?

Or is Li Yifu's ambition no longer willing to be a mere prime minister? That's why it's so hairpin!

Li Zhi was still thinking.

As far as the treasure pillow is concerned, Li Yifu is dead.

But whether to punish crimes, or to punish multiple crimes, is all in Li Zhi's thoughts.

Specifically, it still depends on whether Li Yifu is useful to Li Zhi.

This person is still quite capable, and with him, a lot of dirty work can be done by his hands.

Ruowu Meiniang is the white glove of Li Zhi's inner court.

Then courtiers like Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong are Li Zhi's white gloves to deal with foreign dynasties.

all have their role.

Li Zhi didn't doubt what Su Dawei said about the treasure pillow.

It's easy to verify.

With Su Dawei's intelligence, there is no reason to lie about this.

Su Dawei, who was standing in the hall, had been quietly observing Li Zhi's reaction.

Seeing that he didn't speak immediately, he knew in his heart that Li Zhi was hesitating and weighing in his heart.

In the final analysis, the treasure pillow is the thing of Taizong of the previous dynasty.

This is not Li Zhi's reverse scale, and it can't be directly related to Princess Gaoyang's case.

So Su Dawei decided to go one step further.

He cleared his throat, and after attracting the attention of Li Zhi in the palace, he spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister made another discovery last night. ”

"What discovery?"

"Zhongshu Lingfu Zhongzangjia."

As soon as the word Tibetan armor came out, the air of the entire Zichen Hall instantly condensed.

It was as if in an instant, the air had entered an extremely cold hell.

Li Zhi's voice, as if from a very far away, came coldly: "Really? ”

Su Dawei felt that from Li Zhi's body, there was a strong, like a huge wave of killing intent.

He was excited, knelt down on one knee, bowed his head, and said, "The minister does not dare to speak falsely, if there is any falsehood, he is willing to accept the death penalty." ”

After saying this, the entire hall was silent for a long time.

The palace such as Wang Fusheng and others are already frightened.

Tibetan armor, which means to hide iron armor, armor.

Datang's system can have sharp weapons such as horizontal knives, but there are two things that must not be touched.

One is the crossbow used in the military.

The second is iron armor.

Iron armor, equivalent to body armor in later generations, is a forbidden object.

This is similar to that of the United States in later generations.

You can play with guns, but you can't have body armor.

Of course, Datang is more serious, and hiding armor privately is equivalent to rebellion.

You are a normal courtier, hiding military armor, what else can you do besides rebellion?

Ordinary nursing homes, preparing horizontal knives and shields, are already enough.

As early as the Tang Dynasty Wude period, when the crown prince Jiancheng and Qin King Li Shimin competed for the crown prince, he made a faint move, sending Donggong Lang to send a batch of armor to Er Zhuhuan and Captain Qiao Gongshan to Yang Wengan, the governor of Gyeongju, so that he could arm the army well in case of emergency.

As a result, Li Shimin stabbed Li Yuan with a rod.

It has set off a huge political shock.

directly gave birth to the outbreak of the "Xuanwu Gate".
