Li Longji was puzzled: "Gao Lishi? Isn't that Wu Sansi's person? ”

Li Xiu shook his head and said, "It's not Wu Sansi's person, in fact, this person is Cui Geng's person." ”

The strength of the secret hall spy department is really not covered, Li Xiu explained the relationship between Cui Geng and Gao Lishi in detail.

Li Longji became even more strange after hearing this, and said: "This king heard that this Gao Lishi is loyal and righteous, and he knows how to repay his kindness, can we dig the corner of Cui Geng?" ”

"What I want is for him to be loyal and righteous, and to repay his kindness." Li Xiu said in Li Longji's ear: "Let's be like this, like this, even if Gao Lishi doesn't betray Cui Geng, he has to lead you as a confidant." Your Majesty has your eyes and ears by your side, and we have a lot of room to maneuver. ”

……

……

In fact, Li Xiu completely took his henchmen away from the secret hall, which was not entirely a bad thing for Cui Geng, at least it made it much smoother for him to take over the secret hall.

In the course of a year, the main officials of the secret hall took turns to go to Chengdu to meet Cui Geng. Cui Geng comforted each other with gentle words, and at the same time made slight adjustments to everyone's duties to strengthen his control over the secret hall.

In addition, he never touched Song Xue'er, but sent this talented girl to the headquarters of the Luoyang Secret Hall to deal with various documents, which can be regarded as a nail that he nailed into the secret hall.

Seeing Song Xue'er's peerless appearance, the people in the secret hall thought crookedly at that time, thinking that Cui Geng was a woman who indulged herself and was defenseless against her.

As a result, Song Xue'er, a talented girl, is really not covered. Soon found out the family background of the secret hall and reported to Cui Geng. Even, she found out all the things that the people in the secret hall violated Cui Geng's orders.

Cui Geng got the report, and only then did he have a preliminary understanding of the strength of the secret hall - the rumors are not false, if the secret hall is not divided~ split, I am afraid that its strength is really not under the joint efforts of the five surnames and seven hopes!

If Li Xiu ignores the momentary gains and losses, mobilizes the strength of the secret hall, and fights with himself for ~ a long time, I am afraid that it will be himself who has the upper hand.

Of course, Cui Geng also understands Li Xiu's distress. His goal in life was to be emperor, not to defeat himself. Spend time on yourself, but you will be farther and farther away from the throne.

As a result, Li Xiu couldn't reach it quickly, and now he even lost the secret hall, which can only be said to be that people are not as good as heaven, but they are cheaper than themselves.

……

……

To put it simply, after this year's adjustment, Cui Geng not only initially mastered the secret hall, but also further consolidated his strength in Jiannan Dao.

If the world is in chaos now, he is afraid that he will call himself the king of Shu and divide one side, which is not a big problem.

But the strange thing is that Wu Zetian turned a blind eye to this sign and did not give any order to let him return to Beijing.

This is strange, even if Wu Zetian wants to enhance his strength, it's not such an enhancement method, right? If he really has two hearts, and Wu Zetian happens to die at this time, what should I do?

From Her Majesty's point of view, I'm afraid you won't be able to think of this at all, right?

Just when Cui Geng was full of doubts, a mysterious visitor solved his doubts.

This person is not tall, wearing a hat on his head, wearing a huge robe, and a green veil to cover his face.

He didn't say his true identity, but Ziyun was an old man of Cui Geng, and he had to see Cui Geng. What's more, this person is not allowed to be searched!

In the living room, when Cui Geng removed the maids and servants who were waiting, leaving Cui Xiufang alone, this person removed these disguises, chuckled, and said, "How is it?" Look stupid, right? Hehe, I haven't seen you for so long, Brother Cui, do you want to kill me! ”

Cui Geng said dumbly: "It's you?" Princess Anle? ”

"Yes, it's me!" Li Bao'er pulled a chair and sat down, and said, "Erlang, to be honest, did you miss me?" ”

"Stop making trouble!" Seeing that Cui Xiufang was about to go crazy, Cui Geng hurriedly said: "Seriously, did you leave your home privately this time, or did you receive orders from His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"Hmph, it's not fun at all." Li Bao'er said angrily: "My father sent me, you are majestic in Jiannan Road, but my father was miserable in Luoyang, and he asked me to ask you for help." ”

Send Li Bao'er to ask for help? It's definitely not a big deal!

Cui Geng's heart tightened, and said, "Is something wrong with Luoyang?" What the hell is going on? ”

"Alas, I don't know which tendon Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi have made the wrong ride, so they have to find trouble with their father......"

Then, Li Bao'er had a serious face and told the changes in Luoyang City one by one.

If it is said that the recognized sworn friend of Prime Minister Li Dan is Yao Yuanchong, then the recognized sworn friend of the crown prince Li Xian is the current Prime Minister Wei Yuanzhong.

Wei Yuanzhong is an upright person, and he has had several conflicts with Erzhang before, and they have won and lost each other. Li Xian was afraid of being burned, and mediated for the two sides many times.

However, this time, Er Zhang seemed to be determined to put Wei Yuanzhong to death.

They told Wu Zetian that Wei Yuanzhong had conspired with Si Liqing Gao Jian in private: "Your Majesty is old, and my generation will order the world as an assistant to the prince for the long term." ”

Wu Zetian had just passed through the serious illness that his eyes were about to go blind, and his mind was sensitive, so he immediately issued an order to summon the crown prince Li Xian, the prime minister Li Dan and the prime minister to the imperial court, so that Zhang Changzong and Wei Yuanzhong could confront each other in front of the palace. However, the two sides insisted on their own words and could not make a decision repeatedly.

The matter has been put on hold for the time being.

After going back, Zhang Changzong had an idea, and said to Zhang Yigao ~ Guan Houlu to let him be a witness.

Zhang said yes.

When Wu Zetian summoned him to the front of the palace to ask the right question, before Zhang Shuo could answer, Wei Yuanzhong said: "Do you want to frame me with Zhang Changzong?" ”

Zhang said angrily: "As the prime minister, how could you say such ignorant words? Am I saying that is the kind of person? ”

At this time, Zhang Changzong glanced at him on the side and urged Zhang Shuo, but Zhang Shuo said: "Your Majesty, look, Zhang Changzong is persecuting me so much in front of you, let alone outside?" Wechen has never heard that Wei Yuanzhong wants to rebel, and Zhang Changzong forced me to commit perjury. ”

Zhang Yizhi was really anxious, and said loudly: "Zhang said that he and Wei Yuanzhong are plotting rebellion together!" He once said that Wei Yuanzhong is today's Yi Yin and Zhou Gong. Yi Yin exiled Taijia, and Duke Zhou became the regent of the Zhou Dynasty, what is this not a rebellion? ”

In fact, Zhang Yizhi's words are not false words, but Zhang Shuo did say it.

However, Zhang Shuo immediately argued: "Yi Yin and Zhou Gong are both loyal ministers, and they have been admired by people since ancient times. Your Majesty appointed the prime minister and did not let them follow the example of Yi Yin and the Duke of Zhou, so who should they follow? Don't I know that by attaching to Zhang Changzong, I can immediately obtain the high position of prime minister, and if I get close to Wei Yuanzhong, I will be immediately beheaded by the whole family? It's just that I'm afraid that Wei Yuanzhong's unjust soul will ask me for my life in the future, so I don't dare to frame him. ”

Now, Wu Zetian actually understands that I am afraid that the Zhang brothers are framing Wei Yuanzhong.

However, after this illness, she had the intention to suppress the power of the crown prince Li Xian, but said: "Zhang said that he is a capricious villain, and he should be imprisoned with Wei Yuanzhong."

After Zhang Shuo was imprisoned, he still did not change his original intention, insisted that he did not rebel, and Wei Yuanzhong did not admit his guilt, and the situation was once again deadlocked.

The ministers wrote one after another, injustice Zhang Shuo and Wei Yuanzhong.

However, what the ministers saw was the integrity of the two. What Wu Zetian saw was Li Xian's appeal - didn't I just want to move a prime minister? What's the big deal? Are you going to make such a big fuss? Do you want to show loyalty to Li Xian?

As a result, she wanted to make this case more and more ironclad, arrested many ministers, and made people panic.

Li Xian saw that the situation was getting more and more severe, and even Wu Zetian pointed the finger at himself, and he was anxious, so he hurriedly asked Li Bao'er to come to Chengdu to ask Cui Geng for help.

After listening to this, Cui Geng said suspiciously: "No, such a big case should have been known to everyone a long time ago, why hasn't the official heard the slightest rumor?" ”
