There is no good feast, and it is difficult to have good results.

The Empress Wu brushed her sleeves away, noncommittal to Quan Ce's suggestion.

The female eunuch in the palace dragged Quan Xiancheng's body out and cleaned up the blood stains all over the ground.

"Da Lang, let's go" Princess Taiping walked over slowly, and helped Quan Ce, who had always maintained a bowing posture, to help up, but suddenly found that Quan Ce was not as calm and measured as he showed in his answer in front of the emperor, and there was sadness and exhaustion deep in the bone marrow buried in his eyes.

"Da Lang, General Quan's father and son, loyal to the country, die well, you are the royal wing, you must not lose your body because of the ministers, and mourn, don't hurt your body" Princess Taiping softly admonished, her hands pressed on his arms and stroked, everyone watched, there was no intention of evasion.

"Yes, aunt" Quan Ce responded, raised his eyes and looked at the direction of Empress Wu's departure, he had long seen life and death, even if Quan Xiancheng's father and son made people feel pity, it would not make him sad, he was sad about himself, Quan Xiancheng was a general, if he could really lead the Janissaries to participate in the Zhengdan feast, it would greatly enhance the prestige of the Great Zhou, and he defeated Tubo twice in a year, and set foot on the Western Turkic rebellion, and the purpose of Liwei has been achieved. He couldn't save Izumi's head until that time.

In order to win the political struggle, he did not hesitate to harm the interests of the country, and I heard that many people in the government and the opposition called him a minister, but now, is it worthy of the name? A bitter smile overflowed from the corners of Quan Ce's mouth.

"Da Lang" saw that the two aunts and nephews were about to go out of the palace together, and the imperial heir Li Dan couldn't bear it and cried out.

Quan Ce turned around, and saw his sobbing and unspeakable pathetic appearance, and was about to speak, when his arm was tightened, Princess Taiping took his hand and pinched him.

Quan Ce was terrified, he spoke for Li Dan in front of the Empress Wu, if he followed closely and there was a verbal interaction, and it fell in the eyes and ears of those who had a heart, he would definitely become the handle of the party's heir.

After all, he just pursed his lips, gave a long stroke, and walked away without a word.

"Quan Langjun, wait a minute, this official car is damaged, I want to discuss with you, borrow a horse and use it" Wu Youyi stopped him again, with a worried smile on his face, "I just don't know, can it be cheap?" ”

Princess Taiping immediately grabbed the stubble and became closer, "Wu Shangshu is polite, today is a little unlucky, I intend to take Da Lang to the suburbs to pray for blessings, if Shangshu does not dislike it, his jade horse is free, so he will lend Shangshu to travel"

Wu Youyi breathed a sigh of relief, bowed down to thank him, and went out of the palace with Princess Taiping and Quan Ce, Wu Hou Shicai's words, he and Wu Chenghei and Wu Sansi were side by side, which made him frightened, he didn't want anything, as long as the government and the opposition didn't want to beat him into the party of seizing the prince, this kind of big event that broke the sky was rich and noble, he couldn't afford it, it was a sin, and he couldn't afford it.

Many ministers in the palace followed behind the three of them, each panicking out, with different calculations in their hearts.

Only the lonely Li Dan remains, the position of the prince is his, someone wants to seize it, he has become an outsider, watching the flowers in the fog, anxiety and fear are coming from all sides, making him breathless.

When the group left the palace gate, they saw a team of officials from the Qiuguan Yamen entering the palace on an errand with a warrant.

Song Zhi, a scholar from Hanlin, asked a lot of questions, and asked out loud, "What is the matter with you waiting to enter the palace with weapons?" ”

"Back to the officials, we will send the Shangshu and the squire to enter the palace to arrest the criminals" The official was very respectful, and Lang Lang replied, it seemed that it was not confidential.

"What's the case? Who was arrested? Song Zhiwen felt decent, his face was colorful, and he asked in a big way.

"We are dealing with the case of the fire in the Lintoe Palace, according to the facts, the imperial history of the Cheng to Junchen suspicion is huge, Song Shilang presented Di Shangshu, after the meeting, sent two official errands, all the way to capture the Zhongcheng family steward and other twenty-one people, all the way into the palace to arrest the palace in the palace to serve the imperial history Wang Qingzhi, please the officials to lecture "the officials are more respectful, the voice is louder, not only their line, but the palace gate guards, all can be heard clearly.

Song Zhiwen was shocked, he hated to slap his mouth and lecture himself? Such a surging torrent, the wind and rain came, he avoided it, how dare he speak, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, danced and waved his hands again and again, and the so-called pride dissipated without a trace.

Song Zhi asked a lot of questions, causing a fishy shame, and the colleagues around him scattered left and right, for fear of being implicated, occasionally those who knew each other well, exchanged glances with each other, and looked forward from time to time, and the back of the backbone was cold.

Quan Ce helped Princess Taiping to get into the chariot, both of them heard the official's reply, Quan Ce Gujing had no waves, but Princess Taiping trembled, clenched Quan Ce's arm, forced her composure, nodded with Wu Youyi, and entered the carriage.

Quan Ce and Wu Youyi and many ministers gave up their hands.

"Quan Langjun, I have heard for a long time that you have the demeanor of a brother, and you have single-handedly trained Chongmin and Chongxing brothers, all of them are outstanding, but you are a blessed person" Wu Youyi spoke cautiously, expressed it tactfully, and refused to say it all.

"Shangshu praises falsely, Quan Ce is ashamed and dare not be, Shangshu is good friends with the two uncles, and the younger generations are also the same sect, so there should be more contacts" This kind of level of wit, Yu Quan Ce is as light as nothing, a few random words, it seems to be commonplace, but in fact, the intention is obvious, as long as Wu Youyi and Wu Youji and Wu Youxu are close to each other, and they are willing to intersect with each other.

Wu Youyi smiled, stepped on the jade leisure, and rode away.

Quan Ce stepped on the wheel, got into the carriage, first knelt on the ground, and pleaded guilty to Princess Taiping, Princess Taiping looked at him for a long time, her expression changed a few times, sighed softly, helped him up, dusted off his clothes, turned his face, looked at the other side, his expression was cold, and he struggled a little.

Qiuguan Yamen, Song Jing's signing room.

Qiu Guanshang Di Renjie came in a hurry, sitting opposite him, his expression was gloomy, in fact, the two had not been separated for a long time, and it was Song Jing who went to Di Renjie's signing room to discuss the arrest.

"My colleagues have been going on for years, and the official doesn't know that you still have the ability to be an unpredictable prophet" Di Renjie was depressed, and the warrant to arrest people here was issued, and the news of Quan Xiancheng's death and Wu Chenghei's seizure of the prince came out of the palace.

"Shangshu is not in a hurry, Qiuguan Yamen is a legal department, acting in accordance with the law and acting according to evidence, unfortunately encountering coincidences, not a crime of war" Song Jing poured tea for Di Renjie slowly, very indifferent.

"To put it lightly, so persecuted, it is difficult for Wu Chengsi to ride a tiger, if he jumps off the wall, what will happen to Guozuo?" Di Renjie was furious.

"As you said, under such persecution and unpreparedness, it is still difficult for Guozuo to be accurate, if it is fully prepared, what should it do?" Song Jing was-for-tat, his expression was more severe than Di Renjie's, and he asked, "Why did Shangshu teach me?" ”

Di Renjie was depressed, drank the cup of roasted tea, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Shangshu, the world is chaotic, how people's hearts are, it's time to touch it" Song Jing was still unhurried.

"What kind of temperament is Your Majesty, that you should touch it? How does it end? Di Renjie snorted, his chest rising and falling.

"Hehe, touch it, you may not necessarily have to divide the general trend, divide the enemy and me, and then and the mud, Xu Tu's stamina, and have your own chess master, why bother?" Song Jing did not have a trace of pyrotechnics.

Di Renjie looked at him and shook his head slightly, but the way of the world has changed, even Song Jing, who is the most upright and square, also talked about the way of the court, sighed, and walked out of his sleeves, the situation is not up to people, the curtain has been opened, and there must be some preparations.

Yishanfang, the residence of Li Zhaode, the squire of Fengge.

He still maintained his own work rhythm, handling documents in the palace in the morning, and returning to the house in the afternoon to entertain guests.

Today's guests are only his staff and cronies.

"Xiangye, Wu Chenghei is the king, and he is the prime minister, he has been oppressing Xiangye for a long time, and today's situation is a godsend."

"No, although this time the matter started in a hurry, many cases were entangled, and the King of Wei was passive, but if the Sacred Heart was tacit, the King of Wei might still turn defeat into victory, so don't be careful"

Li Zhaode waved his hand, so that the staff quieted, eagle eyes were gloomy, "and wait and see what happens, when the scenery is bright, no matter whether he loses or he wins, he can act calmly, and he is not allowed to gain a foothold in the prime minister's class again."

In the Liang Palace, Wu Sansi wore a black robe, sat under the octagonal pavilion, poured himself a drink, and his face was cloudy and uncertain.
