Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 725 The snake has come out of the hole
"Gu always feels that this matter is a bit strange, but he is at a loss as to what the problem is. What can Wushuang teach me?"

Li Xian's chapter not only felt wrong on the Empress Wu's side, but also felt a little strange in Yue Wang Li Zhen's heart. After briefly describing the inside story on the booklet, he threw the question to the always wise Chen Wushuang.

"Well, there's something wrong. Logically speaking, the summer harvest is approaching, and it's customary for the court to send officials to supervise the Quartet. Since His Royal Highness is in charge of the introduction of overseas fine seeds, this chapter should be considered appropriate, but the specification seems to be too high. Let’s make it clear that Zaifu’s tour is no small matter, and it’s a big deal to use Zaifu’s presence in a mere summer harvest matter. Unless His Highness intends to stir up trouble, there’s no need to make such a big battle!”

Chen Wushuang's wisdom is far superior to Li Zhen's. Even Li Zhen sensed something wrong with this matter. Naturally, Chen Wushuang would not fail to smell it, but he couldn't judge where Li Xian was ambush for a while, and his words were a little sloppy. I have some reservations, but I am not in a hurry to make a conclusion.

"My lord, my son-in-law thinks that Wushuang's words are true, but those who make a fuss out of a molehill are nothing more than proclaiming his achievements for the rest of the year to the world. I'm afraid he wants to make up for his failure in the previous supervision of the country. Fame, even if it's a bit out of the norm, it's justified."

In the family of Yue Wangfu, Pei Shoude had always been as famous as Chen Wushuang, and as the son-in-law of Yue Wang, his status was even higher than that of Chen Wushuang, but since returning from Hexi a few years ago, he has gradually lost Li Zhen's absolute trust. Before Chen Wushuang returned, he could still say something, but since Chen Wushuang returned, Pei Shoude has been almost marginalized. Although he can participate in every major event, when it comes to the right to speak, he has already It is pitifully rare, and the recent discussions have almost become a question and answer between Chen Wushuang and the King of Yue. Pei Shoude, who has always been conceited, can't help but feel a little disgusted. He always thinks about changing this status quo. At this moment, Li Zhen frowned and remained silent , seemed to disagree with Chen Wushuang's analysis, and thought he had seized the opportunity, so he jumped in and interjected.

"Well, judging from this article, it does make sense, but I still feel that there must be something strange in it, it's not as simple as it seems on the surface!"

Li Zhen also has some eyes and ears in various places. She knows that the promotion of overseas grain varieties has done a good job. Now that the harvest is basically a foregone conclusion, it is indeed worth publicizing the achievements of the previous one. It will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the improvement of Li Xian's reputation. However, Li Zhen did not think that things would be so simple. After all, Li Xian's reputation has always been extremely high. Relying on publicizing political achievements to further improve, just because doing so does not have many benefits, but has a lot of disadvantages. How can it be a good thing to violate the holy taboo and the suspicion of Empress Wu?

"What the lord said is true. If His Royal Highness did not do this to publicize his political achievements, then the strange thing should have come from the inspection itself. If so, it may really be aimed at the lord!"

Chen Wushuang ignored Pei Shoude's and Li Zhen's questions and answers, and lowered his head in deep thought with a slight frown. After a long while, he raised his head and said something with a serious expression.

"Huh? How do you say this?"

Hearing Chen Wushuang's astonishing words, Li Zhen was startled, the hairs all over her body stood on end in an instant, she couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly asked questions.

"Gao Xiang!"

Chen Wushuang didn't explain much, but simply spit out two words.

"Ah, this...wouldn't it be?"

Gao Zhizhou is Li Zhen's greatest help in the court. If something happens to him, the strength of the King of Yue's family will drop by nearly half in an instant, and Li Zhen will be terrified if he is not free. I really can't believe that Li Xian really dared to do such a thing. .

"Wu Shuang's words are over, Prime Minister Gao is the lord of the Chancellor. No matter how arrogant His Highness the Crown Prince is, how dare he take such a big disgrace? Of course, if things fail, they will be ruined. A mortal enemy, isn't he afraid that I, the King of Yue and the Empress, will work together to deal with him?"

Chen Wushuang's words were really alarmist, not only Li Zhen couldn't believe it, but also Pei Shoude disapproved, so he refuted it with disdain.

"Yes, Wushuang, shouldn't this be the end of the matter?"

Li Zhen obviously agreed with Pei Shoude's judgment in her heart, but she knew Chen Wushuang's wisdom and calculation ability very well, so she couldn't help being a little bit surprised, so she rushed to ask questions.

"I also hope that things won't end like this, but after ruling out all possibilities, this is the only possibility that remains!"

Facing everyone's suspicious gazes, Chen Wushuang shook his head helplessly, and explained in a deep tone with a sigh of relief.

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Hearing what Chen Wushuang said with such certainty, Li Zhen couldn't sit still, and asked with a frown.

"Wang Ye Mingjian, the reason why His Highness the Crown Prince dared to act like this is that he saw that the prince's power had aroused the suspicion of the empress, so he dared to let it go. If something is not bad, the empress may also have seen it. It's strange, but it will definitely not stop it, on the contrary, it will add fuel to the flames, the approval of the inspection papers will definitely be very fast, and the prince still needs to make preparations early."

Chen Wushuang didn't explain it too specifically, but pointed out the subtlety of the situation with just a few words.

"Well, what's the current plan? If Zhi Zhou is left with a sick note and refuses, can it be done?"

Li Zhen's own affairs are clear to him. His family of the Yue Palace seems to be strong and strong, but in fact they are still dancing on three eggs. , I already believed it, and hurriedly wanted to find a safe retreat.

"That's right, since I know there's an ambush inside, it's fine if Prime Minister doesn't go!"

After all, Pei Shoude was considered a wise man, and at this time, he had already believed in Chen Wushuang's analysis. Hearing Li Zhen's proposal, he took it for granted, and hurriedly echoed it.

"Returning to the prince, if this sick leave note is really issued, I am afraid it will just fall into the trap of His Royal Highness. A reference book for old and frail body is enough to take down Gao Xiang, let alone the other end of the empress. I am happy to see this, once the two parties join hands, our Yue King family will have no strength to fight back! From this point of view, this time the high minister cannot escape the responsibility of patrolling the place, and we will protect the high minister , and can only focus on this end, other than that, there is no other choice!"

Naturally, Chen Wushuang could sense Pei Shoude's discrepancy with him, but he didn't take it to heart, and he didn't pay attention to it. Instead, he looked at Li Zhen solemnly, and in a few words, he pointed out the crux of the matter.

"Well, what does Wushuang think the prince will do, and how should Gu prevent it from happening?"

Now that the situation was so serious, Li Zhen couldn't help feeling a little anxious, her brows were tightly knit into the word "Chuan", her face was so gloomy that water dripped out.

"It's...it's hard to say. His Royal Highness has never played cards according to common sense. His behavior is unpredictable. I really dare not speak nonsense. I have thought about all kinds of possibilities. Perhaps there are two best, one of which is Ruo Mingchong. It’s as if he’s dead, and secondly, maybe he’s finding an excuse in the operation of government affairs, but I’m not sure how to make a conclusion.”

When it came to guessing Li Xian's possible actions, Chen Wushuang lost his previous full confidence and only gave two vague judgments.

"Ok!"

Li Zhen also knew that it was extremely difficult to guess Li Xian's specific actions, but she didn't blame Chen Wushuang's blurred judgment. He stopped suddenly, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Chong'er, pass on the Gu's order to let Yan Wanshan and Zhang Chu lead the team to protect Gao Xiang. In addition, send a message to Gao Xiang to prepare for the inspection, and be careful on the way." For the first time, don't touch anything, and try not to participate in things that you can not do, so as not to be plotted by villains!"

"No, baby, let's do it now!"

Now that Li Zhen has made a decision, as the leader of the dark forces in the Yue Palace, Li Chong dared not neglect it. He hastily answered and left the study in a hurry to arrange related matters by himself. Mention... "His Royal Highness, Chief Zhuang is here."

In the study room of the Eastern Palace, Li Xian and Zhang Jianzhi, dressed in casual clothes, were discussing things in a low voice, but they saw Gao Miao coming out from behind the screen, rushed to the front, and reported in a low voice.

"Xuan."

What Li Xian was waiting for was Zhuang Yong's arrival, since there would be no nonsense, he announced it with a wave of his hand.

"promise!"

Gao Miao hastily agreed to the promise, turned around, and hurried out of the room. After a while, Zhuang Yong, who was dressed as a guard of the Eastern Palace, walked in from outside.

"Subordinates see His Royal Highness the Prince!"

As soon as he saw Li Xian sitting high above him, Zhuang Yong didn't dare to neglect him. He hastily rushed to the front with a few strides, and bowed respectfully.

"Forget it, what's the situation?"

The matter was of great importance, Li Xian would not waste much time on the ceremony, he just raised his hand in vain to signal Zhuang Yongping, and then asked the news straightforwardly.

"Returning to His Majesty, there has been news from inside the palace that Your Majesty has approved His Majesty's proposal. In addition, according to investigations, Habayashi Junlang General Ge Gong had a long-term secret conversation with Your Majesty. The details are unknown, and then he left. Dajiao Temple transferred a lot of manpower from it, the specific arrangement was not made clear, only that the empress had another appointment, and there was also movement in the Yue Palace. A lot of people have been gathered from them, and they are rushing to Gao Xiang's residence."

Li Xian asked, Zhuang Yong didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly reported the news he got.

"Hmm, the movements are very fast, what do you think of this matter, sir?"

Hearing that the two places were already moving, Li Xian couldn't help laughing, but he didn't comment on it, but threw the question to the silent Zhang Jianzhi.

"The snake has come out of the hole, so let's go as planned."

Zhang Jianzhi gave the answer without any ambiguity.

"Okay, Mr. Zhuang, pass on the order of my palace, and the 'Operation Bird' will begin!"

Hearing this, Li Xian didn't repeat himself any more, he smiled slightly, and gave the order in a calm tone. Although his voice was flat, it was full of arrogance inside.
