When he returned to Shangyang Palace, he was intercepted by Ling Yu, who asked him to meet the driver in the imperial study room. He boarded the horse prepared by Ling Yu for him, and the two of them urged the horse to gallop towards the imperial study room.
Long Ying murmured in his heart.
Jun Wu joked that Wu Zhao had promised him half a day of freedom. How could he suddenly want to see him unless there was something urgent? And this was the first time he saw him in the imperial study room at night, but no matter how hard he thought, he still couldn't guess.
Why are you there?
The royal guards in the imperial garden were heavily guarded. The two dismounted outside the door. Eunuch Rong came up to them and said, "The Holy Lord and the fat father-in-law are in the imperial study. Lord Ying, please come!"
Longying's heart trembled, and the fat father-in-law took action.
"Master Eagle is here!"
Long Ying tremblingly turned around the screen and entered the royal study. If it only concerned him, he would have nothing to fear, but because the fat father-in-law was involved, he had to worry about the fat father-in-law, fearing that the empress would see through and use their tricks on her.
The chances of being scolded and praised by Wu Zhao are completely equal.
Wu Zhao was pacing back and forth in the study room with his hands behind his back. The fat father-in-law stood aside with his arms folded across his chest and looked proud. His eyes followed Wu Zhao. When he saw Long Ying coming in, he nodded slightly to reassure him.
When Wu Zhao heard Long Ying's greetings, she still didn't respond until she arrived at the dragon table. Fang slowly turned the dragon's body and half-closed to the table a little weakly. The dragon's face was pale. She took off her imperial crown and wore a silk red dragon
Wearing casual clothes with a white background, it seems that before going to bed, the fat father-in-law was forced to come here to discuss secrets.
Long Ying and Wu Zhao locked eyes, and time seemed frozen by an indescribable coldness.
Wu Zhao sighed lightly and said, "Tell me everything about Dajiang Lian that was not included in the report."
Long Ying observed people's words and knew that if they betrayed others, they would be scolded. He honestly told the story about Liu Nanguang and Jian Ning'er, and finally said: "If the common people can really sneak into the main forum of Dajiang United, they will be able to control them."
Virtual reality.”
Wu Zhao's Long Yan regained her anger and started pacing back and forth again. It was obvious that she had to make a decision on something and had to think hard. Long Ying had never seen her like this before.
Although the fat father-in-law said nothing, he looked calm and confident.
Long Ying said to Long Bei who was heading to the Dragon Table: "The Dajiang Alliance now has three main goals. The first is to assassinate the King of Luling, and then frame the blame on the Holy Emperor, so as to make the world fall apart. The second is to start with Shang Yue Ling and win the
The control of Pegasus Ranch will expand its power to the north of the river, and gain a strong stronghold in the north that can be attacked and defended. The third is to kill the common people, because the common people are the people Mo Chui hates the most."
Wu Zhao turned around, his pale face returned to color, his demeanor returned to normal, and he smiled and said: "The Evil Emperor is too humble! If I only choose one of the three targets, I will definitely get rid of you."
Her eyes moved to the painting hanging on the wall to her left, looking at it deeply and intently, as if she had entered the snowy world in the painting.
Long Ying thought that she must be in an unusual state of mind, otherwise she would not be so "emotional when seeing things".
The empress sighed softly and said, "Can I have Ya come and stay with me for a few days?"
How dare Longying say no, he hurriedly said: "It's Renya's favor, Xiaomin..."
Wu Zhao cut him off and said, "Don't worry, you have just reunited. How can I bear to take her away from you? My father-in-law will make arrangements after you leave the capital of the gods."
The fat father-in-law responded with a "yes".
Wu Zhao reluctantly withdrew his gaze towards the snow scene, looked at Longying with shining eyes, and said calmly: "I am really happy to have my father-in-law and the Evil Emperor by my side during this difficult time.
"
Long Ying knew that she had something very important to say, but he couldn't guess what she was about to say. He couldn't even grasp a vague shadow of what she was about to say. He only knew that it must be related to the fat father-in-law's action, and because of this In this case, it is even more difficult to guess. What exactly did the fat father-in-law say to her?
Wu Zhao added: "As the master of the Holy Sect, I am now making a request to the Evil Emperor. No matter how the Great Zhou Dynasty changes, the Evil Emperor must continue the glory of my Holy Sect so as not to leave an eternal reputation."
Long Ying lost his voice and said: "What is the purpose of Your Majesty? He said such harsh words?"
The empress said solemnly: "Promise me first and then talk."
A strange feeling spread throughout Long Ying's body, and his shoulders seemed to be heavy. He said sincerely: "I, Long Ying, swear to the Holy Lord here that I will do my best to make future generations admire the Holy Lord when they mention it. "
The fat father-in-law breathed a sigh of relief obviously.
Wu Zhao stared at him silently, his eyes softened for a moment, and he sighed: "I wish I could go to the battlefield and fight side by side with the Evil Emperor."
Long Ying said: "Wouldn't it be just as enjoyable to defeat the enemy side by side in the city of God?"
Wu Zhao showed an expression of reminiscence, Long Yan thawed, and said with a smile: "It is indeed very happy!" He then said softly: "Will the Evil Emperor always be on my side?"
Long Ying wanted to laugh, but the solemn atmosphere at this moment prevented him from smiling. He breathed out and said, "Your Majesty is my senior sister!"
The fat father-in-law said leisurely: "In terms of seniority, I should be the master aunt."
Wu Zhao said: "I like to be the evil emperor's senior sister."
The fat father-in-law smiled and said: "Of course, what Mingkong said shall prevail, because it is an imperial edict!"
Wu Zhao looked fascinated, and it was obvious that the word "Mingkong" was very useful to her.
Long Ying was sure that this was the first time the fat father-in-law called her by her previous name in person since she ascended the throne.
Wu Zhao's eyes suddenly filled with sadness again, and he exhaled: "In the blink of an eye, it's been more than ten years!"
The fat father-in-law nodded to show that he understood her feelings, but Long Ying was dumbfounded and didn't understand what the empress meant by more than ten years.
Wu Zhao did not elaborate further and said calmly: "I want to facilitate a grand marriage between the children of the Li family and the children of the Wu family."
Ren Longying had made countless guesses, but he had never thought that this was the case. He could only describe it as earth-shattering, and even more doubtful of its feasibility.
Looking at the big picture, this is indeed a substantive action to resolve the conflicts between the two parties. The prerequisite is to return the throne to the Li family. The goal is to form a joint governance situation between Li and Wu. However, because Wu Zhao pretended to be Wu Chengsi and Ku Li With his own hands, he massacred the Li Tang clan. It can be said that the hatred between the two families is as deep as the sea. It is really difficult to suddenly resolve and become in-laws.
I couldn't help but look at the fat father-in-law, hoping to get some hints, but the fat father-in-law showed no reaction at all.
My mother! Is this what the fat father-in-law did? What does it have to do with "bringing together" Wu Sansi and Wei Fei, the "adulterer and adulteress"?
The fat man spoke openly and said easily: "The eldest daughter of King Luling will be married to Wu Yanhui, the son of Wu Chengye, the king of Chen. The second daughter will be married to Wu Yanji, the son of Wu Chengsi, the king of Nanyang. The third daughter will be married to Wu Chongxun, the son of Wu Sansi, the king of Gaoyang. Wu Sansi will marry him. If we lead a wedding reception group to Fangzhou, the King of Luling will of course come to the capital of God to officiate."
Longying was dumbfounded and his scalp was numb.
The fat father-in-law is indeed a talented and bold man, and his skills are astonishing. It is no wonder that with his support, Wu Zhao was able to fight his way through all obstacles and ascend to the throne of the emperor, achieving the unprecedented hegemony of a female emperor. Think twice about using Wu Zhao in this way. Deadlifting with Concubine Wei was a possibility that he had never dreamed of.
Wu Zhao said in a deep voice: "Before the matter is completed, the information will be kept strictly confidential and no information will be allowed to be leaked. No one, including King Liang, will hear about it."
The fat father-in-law reminded: "Don't let the elders know that the evil emperor must take this as the secret mission of my holy sect. If it comes true, the holy dynasty will undergo earth-shaking changes, and the political instability will be resolved in one fell swoop. At that time, the evil emperor will
Then the emperor can let go and deal with the Dajiang Alliance and foreign enemies."
Wu Zhao put aside all worries and said eloquently: "I will also cooperate in all aspects to create an atmosphere and environment conducive to marriage."
Long Ying blurted out and asked: "What about for example?"
Wu Zhao smiled angrily at the fat father-in-law and said, "Only this kid dares to question me like this."
The fat father-in-law said with a smile: "What if the ban on Dan'er and the disciples is lifted?"
Wu Zhao was slightly startled and said: "This can be considered."
The fat father-in-law shook his head and said: "Do you still need to think about it? This is called a matter of course. Once your demonic attack is launched, can you still hold it back?"
Wu Zhao said: "But there is a difference between before and after things are done. I hope that this marriage will happen naturally and not be forced out by me issuing an edict."
The fat father-in-law said calmly: "Your Majesty, think about it carefully. Now the prince is the eldest son, not the prominent son. If the dan'er wants to give up his position as the prince, a harmonious atmosphere must be created. Let the father-in-law do this! The father-in-law will do it.
If it is done properly and the news reaches Fangzhou, Xian'er will be completely frightened, otherwise he will think that the Holy One has sent Sansi to execute his whole family."
The fat father-in-law said something plausibly, but Long Ying couldn't bear to laugh because the content was not funny at all. The son was afraid of killing the whole family for his own mother. What a miserable and terrible relationship between mother and son.
Wu Zhao said distressedly: "But I also have to take into account the emotions of my Wu family's children. If they feel that I intend to lift the policy of suppressing Li Yangwu, they will feel uneasy and it will be detrimental to the integration of the two families."
Long Ying became an observer. It can be imagined that before the two people turned against each other, they were discussing and exchanging opinions as before.
The fat father-in-law's method of figuring out the Holy Will was indeed remarkable. He suggested without thinking: "What if the Evil Emperor and the country elder jointly take action? Your disciples of the Wu family will only think that the Holy One has to give some face to the Evil Emperor who has worked so hard and accomplished so much."
.In fact, the Evil Emperor has made countless great achievements, and the Holy One has barely given him half a penny."
Then he said to Long Ying: "My father-in-law will teach you how to deal with it."
Wu Zhao finally agreed and said: "There is really no feasible solution. The only concern is that it will damage the relationship between the Evil Emperor and Sansi and hinder the progress of the marriage."
Long Ying was excited. Anyone who is familiar with government affairs knows that Wu Zhao's words may sound like an understatement on the surface, but in fact they can shake the world. They have completely changed the political ecology since Wu Zhao entered politics, which is like changing the sky overnight.
The weight of the three-person meeting in front of us is only higher than the inner court meeting this morning, but it is by no means lower in importance.
The fat father-in-law was so calm that he said: "My father-in-law has the opposite view to that of the Holy One. According to the Jianghu method, this move is called 'throwing stones to ask for directions.' With his character of thinking twice, does the Holy One think that he dares to ask the Evil Emperor to ask questions? Thinking twice will only come in sincerity and fear."
Ask the Evil Emperor for advice so that you can find out why the Holy One is willing to be merciful to Dan'er."
Wu Zhao smiled hoarsely at Long Ying and said, "Look! My father-in-law knows my nephew better than I do."
The fat father-in-law happily said: "The most ingenious part of this plan is that when Sansi comes to see the Evil Emperor, the Evil Emperor can use both soft and hard tactics to make Sansi understand the great benefits at hand.
If it really happens, my father-in-law is sure that Li Xian and his wife will be very grateful to Sansi."
Wu Zhao couldn't help but nodded, and then said: "My father-in-law, do you think that after this difficult time, Xian'er will be willing to cheer up and be a good man in the future?"
The fat father-in-law said firmly: "No!"
Wu Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "My father-in-law is so frank."
The fat father-in-law said sadly: "From the moment the Holy One entered the palace, the father-in-law told the Holy One that palace politics is not a question of right or wrong, but how to make the choice that is most beneficial to oneself. We all understand that Xian'er is What kind of material, I just regret that we don’t have another choice.”
Long Ying asked: "But what excuse did King Liang use to go to Fangzhou?"
The fat father-in-law said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance. With the eyes and ears of the Dajiang Alliance, anything about the King of Luling will not be hidden from them. Think twice about going to Fangzhou with such a huge effort and a huge momentum. What will the Dajiang Alliance do?" What’s your reaction?”
Long Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Can you be less arrogant?"
The fat man said fairly: "No matter how much we keep it secret, we still can't hide it from the eyes of Dajiang Lian, just like the news about your trip to Kucha was leaked. Alas! Dajiang Lian only needs to spread rumors that the lifting of the ban on the East Palace is a cover. In fact, the Holy Spirit They want to execute Xian'er and his wife, and send Sansi to execute them. Those who come to kill Sansi will be the various factions in the world who support Xian'er. Dajiang Lian can also use the trick of passing the blame to other sects."
Wu Zhao said decisively: "Only if the Evil Emperor personally protects Sansi, I will rest assured."
The fat father-in-law said fairly: "But the evil emperor cannot use his identity as Lord Ying to go, let alone let the King of Liang know that you are going with him, otherwise the meaning of the integration of the two families will be lost."
Long Ying was stunned and said: "Then with what status should I go?"
Wu Zhao couldn't help laughing and said: "What about the 'Ugly Miracle Doctor' Wang Tingjing?"
Long Ying lost his voice and said: "Ugly Miracle Doctor?"
The fat father-in-law said impartially: "Within ten days and a half, we still can't make the trip. Please spend more time with Renya and the others!"
What Long Ying was thinking about was the little witch, her maid, and the fairy. How could he be willing to leave them so soon after they had returned to God? What's more, he had to go to Xiangyin to meet Hua Jian Ning'er on the first day of July.
Wu Zhao said: "Think twice about the reason for going to Fangzhou and the form of going to Fangzhou. It still needs to be carefully considered. The matter has been settled for the time being. Let the father-in-law think more carefully about me. Before the court tomorrow morning, the father-in-law will come to Shangyang Palace to see me. , Mr. Long doesn’t need to come to the imperial study room tomorrow.”
The fat father-in-law and Long Ying Zhu An retired and arrived outside the imperial study. The fat father-in-law invited Long Ying to board his carriage and sent Long Ying back to Gantangyuan.
Long Ying said: "In my opinion, we need to send a division of 10,000 troops to protect Wu Sansi."
The fat father-in-law said fairly: "That will make people misunderstand that Ming Kong wants to kill his son."
Long Ying said distressedly: "But if someone really comes to invade me, and I don't know the identity of the other party, wouldn't I be able to tie my hands and feet?"
The fat father said fairly: "Otherwise, why would the Evil Emperor take action? Just send out a large number of imperial guards."
Long Ying had a headache and said, "How can I explain it to Renya and the others? There is also the little witch, she is not a good man or woman."
The fat father-in-law said with a smile: "The little witch is the easiest to deal with. Just take her on the road with you. She doesn't know how happy she is."
Long Ying said happily: "Is it okay?"
Then he thought of another question and asked, "Will Shangguan Wan'er go with us?"
The fat man said fairly: "Don't ask me, you should ask yourself. Mingkong and I are the masterminds and strategists behind the scenes, and you are the commander on the front line. If this is done well, it will change the entire political situation. Li Xianneng's ascension to the position of crown prince is the foundation for Li Tang's restoration, and the children of the Li family will once again have their legal inheritance rights. And our holy sect will not have to be infamous for thousands of years because of the children of the Wu family."
Long Ying was puzzled: "Why did my father-in-law convince the Holy One in one night?"
The fat father-in-law replied: "I only said one sentence to her."
Long Ying stared at him blankly.
The fat father-in-law said fairly: "I went straight into the Immortal House to wake her up and say this to her."
Long Ying sighed: "Do you want me to beg you to tell you?"
The fat father-in-law smiled heartily and said: "In fact, this sentence itself has no meaning, but every critical moment or before a major action, my father-in-law will say this to her. This has been the case for decades."
Long Ying said: "It turns out that selling things off can make people so painful."
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Gantangyuan.
Someone opened the car door.
The fat father-in-law leaned over to Longying's ear and whispered: "I told her..."
Long Ying said: "I'm listening!"
The fat father-in-law said: "It's time!"
Pat him on the shoulder and ask him to get out of the car.
When the carriage seeing the fat father-in-law disappeared from sight, the fat father-in-law's words still lingered in Long Ying's ears.
