On July 15 of the first year of Ruyi, it is the Midyear Festival of the year.

This year's celebration in the palace was not in the usual Taoguang Garden, but in Shuangyao City.

Li Dan was exempted from greetings every morning, rumors spread in the central palace, the status of the East Palace became more and more critical, the slanderous attacks of the samurai henchmen did not stop for a moment, and the messengers who entered Beijing from Fangzhou arrived three times a day and dispersed into the palaces of important ministers in the court.

If this momentum is allowed to continue and cannot be curbed, it will be difficult to protect the position of the East Palace, and Sima Chengzhen, who was only released by Song Jing, regardless of the suspicion of the melon field and Li Xia, will fight with his old bones and go to the mansions of various noble relatives and high-ranking officials to preach and preach, Li Longji dispatches people outside the palace to jump up and down, but it is always difficult to make progress, and the calm and spicy Doulu Qinwang also has to use his influence to support the emperor's heir on various occasions.

The turning point of the willows and flowers came from an order of the Empress Wu, which made the province of the palace and the Taichang Temple discuss the celebration of the Midyear Festival, skipping the previous practice of leading the Chunguan Yamen, which can be described as meaningful, the young eunuch in the palace is Li Li, the Taichang Temple Qing is Ouyang Tong, and the Shaoqing has two, one is Lin Gu, the other is Lu Zhaoyin, and several chief officials are all the wings of the power policy.

Li Longji immediately seized this God-given opportunity, secretly sent someone to go to the door of the princess of Qianjin, and asked her to pass the word to Princess Yiyang's mansion on her behalf.

In the court, when this issue was mentioned, only Ge Fuyuan, who was the oldest and last among the prime ministers, spoke out, thinking that he had been in Taoguangyuan in the past, and he could change places and make a fresh picture.

The Li family faction naturally did not object, and the neutral ones had no attitude, and the strange thing was that the court officials of the Wu family did not object, and Wu Chenghei often had a pretended majestic face, and even a slight smile.

There must be a demon when something goes wrong, Li Dan doesn't dare to be careless, he must bow down to himself, and work closely with the palace province and Taichang Temple to properly cook all aspects of the Zhongyuan Festival.

One night passed, the singing and dancing were gorgeous and graceful, decorated with colorful colors, luxurious and luxurious, improvised poems and lyrics, Cui Xiang won the first prize by Quan Xuanlang, Xu is his demeanor evoked the memories of Princess Taiping in the past, when the eyes met, there were dazzling sparks, more gorgeous than the fireworks show of the fireworks army, so Princess Taiping left the table early, and after Cui Xiang's skills overwhelmed the audience, he also quietly retreated.

The banquet was full of people, and the ministers and ministers sent off the martial arts queen, and tonight should have had a happy and warm ending, but it was interrupted by a terrible scream.

Under the acacia tree in the backyard of the East Palace, there was a dead man lying on his back, the blood on his neck was still bubbling, obviously he had been poisoned not long ago, holding a paulownia puppet in his hand, the Empress Wu waved his head to signal, Wu Yizong, the king of Hanoi, went to pick up the puppet and turned it over.

Under the firelight, two blood-red characters were written under the feet of the puppet, Wu Jue.

"Hahaha" Empress Wu looked up to the sky and laughed, her eyes were red, and she was no longer calm, "Yaohuan, detain all the cheap maids in the inner courtyard of the East Palace, and severely torture them, I must find out whose head and tail it is, and I will destroy its nine clans."

"Slave and maid obey the order" Xie Yaohuan was short, and with a wave of his hand, a large number of Qianniu guards rushed in, invaded the door like a wolf, and took the imperial concubine Liu, Concubine De Dou and the following imperial concubines and concubines, together with the servants who served them, and tied them up roughly.

"Imperial Grandmother" Li Longji screamed bitterly, and was about to pounce forward.

A "snap" slap swept him, sending him flying two steps sideways and falling to the ground.

There was silence in all directions, and everyone looked at the female general in military uniform standing in front of the martial queen, and couldn't help but be in a trance, many people regarded her as an ornament, and at this time they realized that this female general had already lived up to her name.

Xie Yaohuan looked at his palm, forced to look at Li Longji who fell to the ground, his expression was fierce, and there was a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xie Yaohuan pulled away from Zhang Yang, turned sideways to the side of Empress Wu, lowered her eyebrows, and secretly clenched her fist, she wanted to slap this slap, and she thought about it for a long time.

Empress Wu Lian walked in front of the lost Li Dan, the disappointment and anger on her face were indescribable, "Dan, the mother once thought that you had grown up"

Li Danwei froze on the ground, trembling, with the white silk cloth floating in front of him, the outside must be cleared first, and the inside must be cleared first.

I see.

Jiannan Province, Lizhou.

Jiannan Province observed the entry of Ji Xuan, as the highest official who supervised the administration on behalf of the heavens and the constitution, and had his own Xuanhe, the guards Ding, the number plate honor guard, the chariots and horses, and the spread out for several miles.

Lizhou Thorn Shi Lu Chengmo and Right Yu Wei Zhonglang will greet Zhao and Huan together.

Ji Ji has a tall figure, a square face, three strands of long hair fluttering, clear eyes, and a very righteous spirit.

He ignored Lu Chengmo and Zhao Youhuan, who took the lead in saluting, but talked very happily with the Lang General behind Zhao Hehuan, the Lang General was brought out of Zitong by Zhao Youhuan, the Wu family, Wu Bingde, Xingguo Gong's nephew, and the other two junior martial artists also hung up the official rank of captain.

In the evening, Ji Xuan's reception banquet was held in the Assassin's Mansion, and the face of this gentleman gradually became clear, and the wine and wealth were the same, and he was dissatisfied with the words of the subordinate officials during the banquet, so he knelt aside in public, and pulled the singer and dancer in his arms in public.

After three rounds of drinking, it is not good to drink, Jiannan Dao under his rule, how can Jiannan burn spring less, Lu Chengmo took the opportunity to fan the yin wind and ignite the ghost fire, repeatedly mentioned the Yiyang Princess Mansion and the power policy, provoked Deji Ji to be angry, and said that he wanted Jiannan to burn the spring to Jiannan, for the benefit of the people of Jiannan, and the nobles should not compete with the people for profit.

Lu Chengmo echoed and threw his eye dart at Zhao Hehuan proudly, but unfortunately Zhao Hehuan had drunk too much wine and was a little demented, with a silly smile on his face.

The banquet lasted until midnight, and before Ji Ji was finished, he got up and bowed, and staggered and ordered everyone not to leave the table.

Lu Chengmo wanted to accompany him, but he was pushed away by Ji Ji and went to the thatched house with two maids in his arms.

A scream of "Ah......hhhhh

Lu Chengmo and others rushed in, only to see the two ** maids lying on the dirty ground, and Ji Ji had disappeared.

"Search, search quickly, inside and outside the house, thieves can't run far"

With Lu Chengmo's order, many officials and servants moved, shouting and searching around, chaotic into a pot of porridge, and a group of gray-clothed men also went out of the back door with torches to search, some of them seemed to be bad at walking, surrounded by several people, and were sandwiched in the middle.

Hanzhou, Mianzhu County, Lutang Mountain, Quan Ce's manor.

More than half a month has passed, and news has come back from all parts of the Death Regiment that have been released, and a high stack has been piled up on the table.

"It's wonderful, there are no good people in Hongtong County," Quan Ce kept sighing.

Shangguan Wan'er was worried, thought for a while, and said softly, "These corrupt officials and corrupt officials are huddled together, with different faces, hidden very deeply, digging is bound to hurt the muscles and bones, and the center is restrained by Wu Chenghei, Lang Jun, according to Wan'er's opinion, I am afraid that I can only pass by vaguely and throw Lu Chengmo out to sacrifice the flag."

Quan Ce smiled at her, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, "Wan'er, not only can the center restrain the place, but the place can also shake the center."
