Chapter 150
Chapter 158

Gao Lishi, Li Lin, and Yongmu were poisoned to death by a cup of poisoned wine on this New Year's Eve, before the bell rang in the early morning of the Spring Festival in Tianbao's [-]th year.As for the corresponding followers of this turmoil, although the old emperor handed it over to the crown prince to deal with it expediently, Li Heng, under the hints of Zhang Xuan and Yang Guozhong, turned the major issue into a minor one, and basically did not pursue it.

Except for Princess Yuzhen, Li Chiying, who was deprived of the title of princess and three thousand food towns by the emperor.

According to Li Heng's intentions, the several clans of Emperor Li Xian's lineage who stood up and made a lot of noise would be deprived of the title of county king, demoted to common people, and exiled for three thousand miles.But Zhang Xuan thought again and again, feeling that the Tang court should not be in turmoil at this time, and if it was really going to be chaotic, it would be the princes who were finally affected.

The feast of New Year's Eve broke up unhappy.

After the old emperor left, the dignitaries of the royal family and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also left the palace one after another.

The one who came to the end was Princess Yuzhen Li Chiying.

Zhang Xuan walked out of the hall slowly, walked to the entrance of the hall, and found that Li Chiying hadn't left yet.

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, unwilling to say anything more, and wanted to leave, but heard Li Chiying softly call out, "Zizhan, I have no choice but to act today, and I will tell Ying Er—that I am very upset." sad."

Zhang Xuan stopped walking, and slowly turned around to look at Li Chiying and smiled, "Yinger does not blame His Highness Yuzhen. His Highness Yuzhen is an elder of the royal family, and he has many unspeakable secrets, Zhang Xuan can understand."

The corner of Li Chiying's mouth twitched, and his face turned red.

"Zizhan, I would like to ask... is Brother Huang safe and sound?"

Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows, and said calmly, "Your Majesty suffered from stroke, which is difficult to recover, and now he is paralyzed in bed. This is a fact. It cannot be done by humans. But as long as His Majesty is alive, His Majesty will always be the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tian Khan, No one can replace you. And if Your Majesty passes away, Zhang Xuan will definitely assist the Crown Prince to ascend to the throne and control the world!"

"Zhang Xuan always seeks peace of mind and a clear conscience. Zhang Xuan will never become the second Li Linfu or An Lushan. Please rest assured, Your Highness."

Li Chiying sighed softly, "I didn't expect that in a short period of time, you have become an unshakable power minister. If the crown prince ascends the throne, your status will far surpass that of Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong... I only wish now You can do your best to assist the emperor and benefit the common people of the world!"

Zhang Xuan smiled, but didn't answer any more.

In my heart, I was secretly contemptuous, and thought to myself, why can't you think of the common people when you are fighting for power?Royal nobles like you all think about your own power and status, the well-being of the common people, how many people care about it?

Yuzhen sighed and left lonely.

Watching Yuzhen's car disappear into the dark night, Zhang Xuan let out a sigh of relief.

Gao Lishi, who was prominent for a while, is dead, and Princess Yuzhen Li Chiying has also become a permanent past.This means that this era has turned an old page and opened a new chapter.

The established historical trajectory is shifting and changing little by little.But the big historical trend will not change in any way, and Zhang Xuan is well aware of this.

Anlushan's rebellion is already on the line and has to be launched. All Zhang Xuan can do now is to push back as much as possible to delay Anlushan's rebellion, and buy time for himself and Datang to deal with it.

Zhang Xuan looked up at the sky and sighed secretly.He was about to leave, but he heard an eunuch calling from behind: "General, Your Highness welcomes you."

Zhang Xuan looked back and saw the popular eunuch Yu Chaoen beside Li Heng standing there with a smile and looking at him, he couldn't help but smiled slightly, "Yu Gong, Your Highness hasn't rested yet?"

Yu Chaoen is now proud of Li Heng's gaining power, and he is no longer the down-and-out scene of the past.Zhang Xuan knew that this eunuch was not a good bird either. He was far worse than Gao Lishi in terms of loyalty and lack of loyalty, ability and lack of ability.

Zhang Xuan didn't have a good impression of Yu Chaoen, but because he was by Li Heng's side, he had to give him some face.

Yu Chaoen chuckled, "Your Highness hasn't rested yet. Your Highness asked our family to come out to have a look. If the General hasn't left yet, we can tell the General to go to the study to have a talk. Let's go, General, come with our family to see His Highness. "

In fact, Yu Chaoen himself didn't even notice that his attitude towards Zhang Xuan had undergone some invisible changes.The respectful heart has gone a lot, and the arrogance has grown a lot, and the speech seems a little more casual.

Zhang Xuan frowned, not because he was unhappy with Yu Chaoen's attitude, but because he suddenly felt that it might not be a good thing for this historically famous villain to stay by the prince's side.

Zhang Xuan thought about the lightning flash, and without saying anything, he waved his hand silently and said, "Lead the way ahead!"

Zhang Xuan's voice was a little cold.

Yu Chaoen felt a little displeased when he heard that, he is gaining power now, surrounded by flattery and flattery every day, and he is in charge of the East Palace Internal Supervisor, gradually tending to become the second Gao Lishi.And this time, the prince also intends to let Yu Chaoen take Gao Lishi's position as the envoy of the Sangong Procurator and the general of the Zuojian gate guard.

Although Zhang Xuan is powerful, he is still a foreign minister.Once the crown prince ascends to the throne, our family will be the second Gao Lishi, how much worse than you, Zhang Xuan?We are all members of the prince, with equal status, what kind of official authority do you put in front of our family?
This is Yu Chaoen's true state of mind at this moment.

Little did they know, in Zhang Xuan's eyes, he was an insignificant little person from beginning to end. He didn't have time to pay attention to it for the time being, but once he had time, he could be crushed to death at will.

Yu Chaoen walked ahead, and when he reached the study room in the East Palace, he turned around and waved his hands casually, "General, wait first, we will report when our family enters."

Zhang Xuan nodded calmly.

Yu Chaoen entered the outer hall of the study, but he didn't go inside to report immediately. Instead, he sat there with two young eunuchs waiting on him, served a cup of tea and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

Zhang Xuan waited outside the door for a long time, seeing that there was no response, he couldn't help feeling a little impatient.

Seeing the figure in the study room was brightly lit, he hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to open the door and enter.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yu Chaoen sitting there shaking his head and drinking tea leisurely, his originally indifferent expression immediately turned gloomy.

The two young eunuchs suddenly saw Zhang Xuan, were taken aback, and hurriedly bowed down, "I have seen the great general!"

Yu Chaoen was startled, and immediately put down the teacup in his hand in a panic, stood up and smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Xuan nodded with his face sinking like water, ignored Yu Chaoen, and waved his hands to the two young eunuchs, "Is Your Highness here? Go and report to Your Highness, and say that Zhang Xuan is called to wait!"

The two young eunuchs glanced at Yu Chaoen fearfully.

Seeing that the two young eunuchs did not move, Zhang Xuan was furious, and said in a deep voice, "Didn't you hear what I said?"

Yu Chaoen smiled, leaned over and explained, "Don't be impatient, General, Your Highness is taking a nap, please wait a moment!"

Zhang Xuan sneered, "Your Highness called me here, how can you delay? Yu Chaoen, you are so courageous! How dare you play tricks in front of me!"

Yu Chaoen's face turned red, and he also said in a deep voice, "Our family doesn't want to hear what the general said. Our family serves His Highness, and we are His servants, so we naturally have to think about His Highness. Your Highness has been in poor health recently, so we need to rest a little. How dare you disturb me?"

"Aren't you willing to listen to my words?" Zhang Xuan stepped forward slowly, staring at Yu Chaoen, his voice was strangely cold, "It's really shameless. You, a little prisoner in the Eastern Palace, dare to block the entrance, Preventing this official from meeting His Highness to discuss the important affairs of the court... so reckless and reckless, what a crime should be!"

"What should you do?!"

Zhang Xuan's words were a little heavy.His voice suddenly raised an octave, wrapped in the aura and prestige of a great general, Yu Chaoen's heart trembled, and he took a step back subconsciously.But immediately blushed and straightened his back and straightened his neck.

Yu Chaoen was about to retort a few words, Zhang Xuan took a step forward, pointed at Yu Chaoen with his finger, "You can try to argue with me again about the things that rely on people's power?"

Yu Chaoen became terrified. He suddenly remembered that the young man in front of him was not an ordinary courtier, but General Zhang who had just quelled a court rebellion and had just quelled a court rebellion. Opening his mouth, he swallowed back all the words that came out of his mouth, his face distorted with shame and anger.

"Go away!" Zhang Xuan said angrily, pointing at the two little eunuchs who had already been kneeling on the ground in fright, and scolded, "Why don't you report to His Highness the Crown Prince?"

**********************************************
Li Chiying left the palace and went straight to Yuzhen Temple.After entering the temple, she immediately ordered people to close the door of the temple tightly. From today on, she can no longer open the door to welcome guests as before, and from time to time, she will have a big feast of Chang'an literati and dignitaries, and drink and have fun.

Princess Yuzhen retreated from the maid, and went straight to her bedroom along the long and beautifully carved wooden corridor of Yuzhen Temple.This is a very luxurious and spacious bedroom, which is exquisitely furnished, no less than the bedroom of the imperial concubine Yang Yuhuan.

Pushing open the door of the bedroom and walking in, Li Chiying covered the door and leaned against the door, her originally calm face suddenly became miserable, her eyes turned red, and she choked up tears.

A man in his forties with a burly figure and a clear face strode over from the depths of the bedroom, and exclaimed in surprise, "Ying'er, why is it so miserable?"

Seeing this man, Li Chiying felt a burst of grief again, ran forward, threw herself into the man's arms, hugged him tightly, and cried in his arms for a very dark time.It's not like Princess Yuzhen who has always been all-powerful, but more like a little woman who has been wronged and finally found someone to act like a baby.

Although the man was a little shocked, he still hugged Li Chiying tightly and patted her plump shoulders lightly.

a long time.

Li Chiying raised her head stupidly like a girl, and murmured, "Qinglang, can you take my slave's family away from Chang'an and live in seclusion in Zhongnan?"

The man hesitated for a moment, then said softly and softly, "Ying'er, what happened to you tonight? What happened, tell a certain family..."
