Chapter 410: Empress Wu: If you perform meritorious service at this time, are you going to make me angry to death?

 As the sun set, Li Yan returned to the gate of the inner prison, where a large number of thieves had been escorted over.

Not only the Quan clan members in Duke Bian's mansion who had secret connections with Silla, Jin Liangtu also found a lot of criminal evidence from the Jin mansion and arrested a group of unprofessional Silla spies.

Since the popularity of "Zuoming", the empty inner prison has become full again.

Seeing his immediate boss approaching, Quan Xiancheng hurriedly greeted him: "Lead Li!"

Li Yan looked at him and said, "The next issue involves your tribe, do you want to avoid it?"

At this time, Quan Xiancheng had already joined the inner guard. Guo Yuanzhen had indeed mentioned this person before, but his evaluation was not high. He was originally not qualified to join the inner guard internship, but this time since the other party could show his loyalty, he temporarily accepted him to see what happens next.

.

Li Yan didn't mean anything special, but Quan Xiancheng thought it was a test and hurriedly said: "I will never avoid it. Please let me help investigate this case thoroughly."

However, he felt that he had made up his mind, but when he actually saw the tribesmen he was familiar with in daily life being sent to prison amidst the mournful wailing, Quan Xiancheng still had a look of intolerance on his face, and then he realized that he couldn't do this, and he couldn't help but change.

look.

Li Yan said: "Don't be alarmed. It is not easy to kill relatives for justice. You are not insensitive. It is normal to sympathize with your relatives. But you cannot just not tolerate their miserable situation at this time, but you must think carefully about why these people ended up like this."

Such a situation?"

Quan Xiancheng thought for a moment and said gratefully: "Thank you Li Ge for your understanding. They are indeed to blame for their conspiracy. I, the Quan family, should learn from it and restrain the people of the tribe. We will never make such a big mistake. We should stay away from the Miao descendants of Sanhan."

.”

Li Yan said: "Remember the lessons and straighten the family style. It would be good if you can do this, but there is no need to overdo it. You, the Quan family, also want to appease Liaodong and stabilize the overall situation. You just need to no longer be involved with the Silla traitors.

"

Quan Xiancheng gritted his teeth and hated it: "The land of Silla was originally a weak country and a small land. Goryeo almost destroyed it in the past. It was the Tang Dynasty that preserved it. Silla was ungrateful and continued to incite Goryeo and Baekje.

The remnants of the country, advocating for the same race and descent, resist the rule of Tang Dynasty’s Jisu Prefecture. These traitors to the country and evil people must be destroyed!"

"well said!"

After the words fell, a voice of agreement rang out. Jin Liangtu strode over, clasped his fists and said: "Leader Li Ge, we are fortunate to have fulfilled our mission and captured thirty-seven Silla spies, and locked the caravan that colluded with them. After passing

The search has uncovered evidence of messages being sent to Silla."

Li Yan praised: "Jin Langzhong is really a capable minister of the Tang Dynasty."

Jin Liangtu felt very comfortable after hearing this, and hurriedly saluted again: "This is a matter of duty, and Li Ge should not accept this praise. What this young gentleman just said was very in line with my opinion, I wonder?"

After Li Yan introduced him, Jin Liangtu suddenly realized: "It turns out he is the son of Bian Guogong. I'm so glad to meet him!"

Quan Xiancheng also heard his father mention this fifth-grade confidant who was appreciated by Li Yuanfang and promoted by him. He was also related to the killing of the Wu family's relatives before. Seeing that he was really trusted, he became more energetic: "I can see Jin Langzhong."

, I am lucky that Mr. Jin is the role model for us to work hard!"

Not to mention that the Miao descendants of the three Koreas met in the Tang Dynasty with a new look. On the other side, the Xue brothers and Guo Yuanzhen came over with Wu Chengsi.

Xue Ne saluted, briefly described the situation in Quan Mansion, and then went to handle the follow-up. The main situation was reported by Guo Yuanzhen.

In fact, with the cooperation of Mr. Bian Guogongquan, the trip was smooth and smooth. However, Guo Yuanzhen's portrayal made it even more thrilling, especially Wu Chengsi, who was calm and commanded well.

Li Yan thought that he had learned the Spring and Autumn style of writing without a teacher, and commented: "Zhou Guogong went into dangerous situations and should be praised..."

Hearing this, Wu Chengsi next to him smiled so hard that he kept saying: "Of course, I have wanted to make meritorious deeds for a long time, I have thought about it for a long time!"

After he finished speaking, he proudly came to the prison car and pointed, as if he really relied on him to arrest these prisoners.

Li Yan shook his head secretly and continued: "But this time is the result of collective efforts, and it should not be too focused on personal use."

When Guo Yuanzhen saw this kind of virtue, he realized that he had taken it for granted. He had been familiar with "Shuowen Jiao" all day long, and his level was well known in the capital. How could he describe it too exaggeratedly? He hurriedly said: "Please don't worry, Liulang, I will take good care of you."

The one who wrote the case record.”

Li Yan nodded: "After writing it, give it to Xue Jiyi and submit it to His Majesty."



Inside Zhenguan Hall.

Li Hong quickly received the report from the internal guards.

Seeing that a large number of thieves were caught in just one day and solid evidence was obtained, Li Hong was very satisfied and looked at Xue Ne below: "Xue Jiyi seems to be familiar with the responsibilities of the internal guard. General Xue

When he comes back, you must assist him well and rebuild the glorious record of our Datang Heavenly Army being invincible."

Xue Ne prostrated: "Yes!"

Li Hong appreciated this pragmatism that cherished words like gold. He continued to read, and soon he frowned slightly and sneered: "Didn't you expect that Wu Chengsi can still make meritorious deeds?"

At this time, there were several trusted ministers in the palace. When they heard this statement, their expressions changed. Yuan Wanqing even coughed lightly to give them some advice.

Li Hong heard the slight cough and knew what it meant. After all, he was the prince who inherited the incense of the Empress Dowager Wu. His likes and dislikes should not be too obvious.

But he was still obviously displeased and looked at Xue Na: "As mentioned above, Wu Chengsi first entered the Duke Bian's mansion to test it. After learning that Duke Bian was planning to kill his relatives in a righteous cause, he ordered the internal guards to take action. He sat in the main hall and did not move during the whole process.

, until all the thieves are arrested, will this matter?"

Xue Na nodded: "Yes."

Li Hong read the case record again and saw that the above description was restrained and impartial, so he couldn't help but fall silent.

The palace was quiet, and the close ministers made eye contact for a moment. Miao Shenke did not want to come forward, but Yuan Wanqing added: "Your Majesty, as long as all previous officials did not make mistakes and maintained stability under their rule, they have done a great job. Duke Zhou personally committed a risk.

The credit for catching the thief cannot be denied."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Hong finally said: "Wu Chengsi did make a great contribution this time, but he lost the fish charm before, which caused the Tubo prisoner Blenzan to escape, so the merits and demerits are balanced.

That’s it…”

Yuan Wanqing sat down with satisfaction. Miao Shenke carefully observed the saint's expression and had an idea in his mind. They all chanted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Hong is not a petty person. He really hates Wu Shizi, but he doesn't keep watching him unprepared. This kind of treatment just gives rise to a vigilance.

Because recently I often went to the Empress Dowager's Palace to greet her and discuss political affairs with Empress Wu. After all, I was tempted by her and had the intention of using the Empress Dowager to assist the government.

Empress Wu's ability is the key, and there is another reason that is undeniable, that is, Wu's relatives are too useless.

The power of the harem must be extended through the outer court, and the strongest supporters are always the clansmen related by blood.

Therefore, the main role of foreign relatives and senior officials, and the support of a large number of officials under their command, has become the pattern of harem interference in politics in all dynasties. Empress Wu must also do the same if she steps from behind the scenes to the stage.

The children of the Wu family have a notorious reputation and are known as trash. How many ministers are willing to rely on them to tarnish their reputation. In the end, they may not get any benefits. In this way, Li Hong dares to use Empress Wu with confidence.

But what Wu Chengsi did now proved that they could actually be effective, which was dangerous. Li Hong turned around slightly and looked diagonally to the back, where the screen was covered with wooden plaques.

After staring for a moment, the heat in the saint's eyes finally dissipated, his attention completely withdrew from the screen, and he said silently:

“After all, you can’t rush things!”



Changshengyuan.

Empress Wu waved her hand, and the group of eunuchs quietly retreated. She stood up and started walking around the courtyard.

The figure is swaying and full of energy.

Empress Wu has clearly felt that her son Li Hong's dependence on her is gradually increasing.

This was completely within her expectation. She had assisted Li Zhi for twenty years and knew very well how hard it took to be a wise king.

Because Li Zhi had a much stronger desire for power than Li Zhi, he wanted to handle many things with one hand, for fear that his subordinates would be deceived, so he had a heavier workload at the beginning, which led to family diseases.

Get ill.

Although Li Hong is better than Li Zhi, he is also extremely ambitious. He wants to create a prosperous Tang Dynasty after Taizong and Gaozong, and prepares for restructuring. This is more laborious than running the country normally. It has not officially started yet.

He was a little out of breath.

"I'm afraid the saint himself didn't realize this. It was precisely the physical drag that made him want to see the greatest results in the shortest time, so he became more and more anxious."

"He needs someone who can fully trust his administration, either a minister or me!"

"The saint will choose me!"

Empress Wu became more and more confident. She walked around the courtyard and finally came to the front of the courtyard. She looked at the word longevity on the plaque and said, "This has a good meaning."

Eunuch Gao was waiting behind him and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother has a long life and she will be young forever and live a hundred years..."

Empress Wu usually looked down upon such levelless compliments, but at this time she couldn't help but smile a little and gently stroked her bun without a single gray hair: "They say time flies by.

, but I don’t age that easily!”

Although Eunuch Gao no longer had the same affection for his master as before, he had to admit that Empress Wu had the confidence to say such domineering words.

After admiring the flowers for a while, Empress Wu finished relaxing, combining work and rest, and was about to return to the palace to continue analyzing the current situation of the court, when the sound of rapid footsteps came.

Hearing the hurried footsteps of these eunuchs, her hands couldn't help but tremble slightly, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.

But when you think about the fact that the daily eyesore is gone, and the Wu family has been associated with collaborators and traitors, is it possible that you can still participate in the rebellion?

If that really happened, she would be the first to jump out and kill her relatives out of justice.

After thinking about it like this, Empress Wu calmed down. When she saw Eunuch Cai in sight again, she found that his face was not as panicked as before, but instead had a strong look of joy. She calmed down and reprimanded with a smile: "So What are you doing in such a hurry? It’s been so long and you still can’t calm down!”

Eunuch Cai came to the front and bowed down. First he slapped his mouth skillfully: "You should be beaten! You should be beaten! But I really can't suppress my joy. Congratulations to the Queen Mother. Congratulations to the Queen Mother. Good news. Duke Zhou Guogong has made a great contribution!"

Empress Wu's smile gradually disappeared: "Wu Chengsi can also make meritorious deeds? What is going on?"

Eunuch Cai lowered his head and did not notice the change in Empress Wu's expression. He presented the first-hand information obtained by the previous spy: "This time Zhou Guogong's meritorious service, even the internal guards had to take credit for it. It is really proud of him!"

"His Majesty also said that the merits and demerits are equal to each other, which shows that his impression of Zhou Guogong has changed!"

"If Zhou Guogong performs again in the future, he will be able to wash away the previous stigma. The Queen Mother will have a bright face, and the slaves and others will be sincerely happy for the Queen Mother!"

Eunuch Gao rolled his eyes and hurriedly stood up and bowed: "Congratulations, Queen Mother!"

Empress Wu's smile disappeared completely. Looking at the eunuchs congratulating her, her chest heaved violently, but she did not want to get angry. She said calmly: "Get up and tell the other officials that if Zhou Guogong can really change his past, you will be outside in the future." It is indeed a happy event to have someone to rely on in the dynasty."

The two chamberlains bowed down, one couldn't help but feel happy, the other was secretly amused, and they both stepped back.

Empress Wu was left standing in the garden, groping around with her hands, but couldn't find a vase that could be smashed. She couldn't help clenching her fists: "Once the saint becomes wary of me... then all the efforts will be wasted... Why is it now... To do meritorious service at this time... makes me so angry!!"
