At the beginning, he will be divided by five horses of Tang Taizong

Chang Le's eyes suddenly changed sharply and he asked Qin Shou, "Why did you kill him? Is it because of me?"

"Qin Shou, do you know why I followed you out?"

"Uh......"

Qin Shou was suddenly a little confused and didn't know how to answer.

Chang Le sighed and said: "I really envy Sister Gao Yang, she can be with the person I like, and after I met you, I realized that there are still many good things in this world worth liking and following."

During the time she lived in Gaoyang Mansion, she really felt very relaxed, very different, and very interesting. She began to be interested in various things, and all these changes were brought about by Qin Shou.

I don't know when to start, my heart will be happy with Qin Shou's happiness, and worried because of his dangerous situation.

"call"

Changle's eyes suddenly became clear, "Let's go!"

She didn't want to show her weak side in front of Qin Shou.

Even though he had made peace with Changsun Chong, he had thought about it a lot, but it was very clear that he couldn't be with him.

There was a sudden uncontrollable pain in her heart, which made her feel suffocated.

The vision in front of her was still blurred after all, she lowered her head, feeling the coolness of the wind around her eyes.

After walking for a while, Qin Shou suddenly said, "Follow me from now on, and I will protect you!"

Ok?

Chang Le was stunned by these words, and raised his eyes to look at Qin Shou.

Qin Shou continued: "Actually...at first I didn't know how to face you, especially your father, but now that you are in such a situation, if you still want to follow me, I will definitely protect you .”

This is not explicit enough, but the meaning in it is already enough for Chang Le.

"I...you..." Qin Shou's sudden words made Changle speechless, and it took him a while to ask, "How is this possible? I'll follow you, aren't you afraid? Do you bear a bad name, you..."

Before she finished speaking, Qin Shou looked at her and said, "Uh...I've always lived for myself, not for fame, if I like it, I like it, there's nothing to be ashamed of, who I don't know what will happen tomorrow, maybe tomorrow you and I will be separated again."

Qin Shou glanced at her, smiled and said, "It's just that Gao Yang has something difficult to explain."

Chang Le was silent for a moment, lowered his head and crossed his hands, murmured: "Let me think about it...Actually, Sister Gao Yang has already seen it before, and she asked me to find opportunities to get in touch with you more. …”

"Uh..." Qin Shou couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

isn't it?

Gao Yang knew about it a long time ago, and even persuaded Chang Le?

What is this operation?

......

inside the palace

After Changsun Wuji and Li Zhi had a meal together, they sat down and talked over tea.

Li Zhi talked about Qin Shou casually, "Uncle, you haven't talked about Qin Shou from the beginning to the end, so what do you think of Qin Shou?"

This question made Changsun Wuji a little surprised, he couldn't help hesitating for a moment, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, why did you suddenly think of asking him?"

Li Zhi smiled, "Think about it, for more than a year, in the court, many things that are seen and invisible are inextricably related to him. The boundary, it looks like it's going to go north."

"And the third brother is still in Liaodong and Goguryeo Zhuo Zhan, if Qin Shou goes to join the third brother, it is not impossible..."

Changsun Wuji thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "In my opinion, it is unlikely that Qin Shou will seek refuge with King Wu Li Ke."

"Oh?" Li Zhi frowned, "Uncle, why did you say that?"

"Qin Shou is very wary of people from the royal family. He was like this to Crown Prince Chengqian, Wei Wang Li Tai, and His Highness. It's hard to imagine how much such a person can change Li Ke."

"In fact, he avoided the prince's seizure of the heirloom whenever he could, but he just happened to get involved."

Li Zhi was stunned, and put down the cup in his hand, "Uncle's words are really novel."

"Although it is said that Qin Shou has a lot to do with His Highness's ascension, but think about it carefully, does Qin Shou have any contact with us?" Changsun Wuji said with a sigh.

Li Zhi pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Does uncle think that there is room for relaxation between him and us?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head, "His Royal Highness relies on five surnames, Qiwang, and various clans in Guanlong to take power, and Qin Shou's previous conflicts with the various clans cannot be resolved, and he has already had resentment in his heart. No matter how he solves it, it is impossible to eliminate the resentment in his heart. "

He shook his head, added a cup of tea, and continued: "If he accumulates resentment in his heart, it will definitely set off a wave, so Your Highness doesn't have to have any illusions."

After he finished speaking, Li Zhi was silent for a long time, and then said: "Then let's do this, there is no other way."

Changsun Wuji thought for a while, "Your Highness, what should Wei Zheng and others do?"

"How to deal with it, let's deal with it!" Li Zhi replied casually, "Before enthronement, if they haven't awakened, they should be killed and demoted."

"Okay, then I'll take my leave first!" Changsun Wuji stood up and said goodbye.

......

These few words of the two of them represent that there will be another storm in the Great Tang Dynasty.

It aims to clear the final obstacle for Li Zhi's ascension to the throne.

After Changsun Wuji left, Li Zhi got up and asked the eunuch beside him, "How is Wu Mei doing today?"

"Back to Your Highness, it's better than yesterday, and I ate something."

Chapter 330

Ganye Temple

"Master Ming Kong, Your Highness is here." A bhikkhuni said to Wu Mei.

"No!" Wu Mei frowned.

"Why, am I making you look down on me like this?" Li Zhi's voice came in from the door, and the bhikkhuni quickly retreated.

Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei fixedly, his eyes sparkled. Now that Qin Shou had already left, she was still in such a posture, which made him even more troubled.

"Wu Mei, am I not enough for you? What do you want?"

Wu Mei turned her head, "What do I want? The point is that I don't want something, why are you bothering?"

"Have you ever thought about it, if I enter the palace, what will Man Chaowu and the people of the world think?"

"And the crown princess you just selected, the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family, how can she tolerate me?"

Li Zhi gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Qin Shou killed the patriarch of the Li family in Zhao County. The entire Tang Dynasty can no longer tolerate him. You don't have to have any illusions about him."

"If you enter the palace, I am willing to make you the empress."

"..." Wu Mei opened her mouth, "Do you believe this? Will Changsun Wuji make your wish come true?"

Li Zhi frowned, unable to speak for a while.

For a moment, the atmosphere condensed

Yoshihisa

Li Zhicai said: "Uncle's power is the key to my ascension to the throne. After I ascend the throne, I will definitely make you the empress. I hope you can remember today's words."

Wu Mei didn't say anything, but twisted the Buddhist beads in her hands, and muttered the Buddha's words in her mouth.

Li Zhi clenched his fingers, took a deep breath, turned and left.

When the sound of footsteps got farther away, and the Buddhist beads in Wu Mei's hand suddenly slipped down, she suddenly felt her cheeks getting cold.

The two tears were cold.

Ever since Ganye Temple was suddenly surrounded by soldiers that day, she had been worried about Qin Shou in her heart, but as the news came, her heart slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.

With Li Zhi's rise to power, Datang could no longer tolerate him.

She sat on the futon blankly, looking at the Buddha statue in front of her, her eyes were hazy, and she wiped the corners of her eyes vigorously to stop her silent crying.

She gently touched her stomach, originally planning to go with the Buddha, but yesterday she suddenly felt something strange about her body. It happened that the old nun who took care of her most on weekdays came from a family of medicine. It's a happy pulse.

This news suddenly caused her, whose soul was buried in the soil, to break free suddenly.

Wu Mei looked at the food on the table, picked it up and stuffed it into her mouth.

.......

next day

The news that the Li family of Zhaojun was attacked again spread to Chang'an, and Li Zhi summoned his ministers again.

what?

Qin Shou actually attacked the Li family of Zhaojun again?

The children suffered heavy casualties?

The officials couldn't help but gasped.

This guy is just crazy?

Many courtiers felt even more sad, and their hearts were filled with fear.

The eunuch took the decree and read out: "My dear friends, in view of Qin Shou's viciousness, all courtiers related to Qin Shou must review themselves, Wei Zheng and others are already in prison, and those who are at fault will turn themselves in.. ...."

Officially began to cleanse Qin Shou's influence.

The atmosphere in the hall was eerie.

None of the courtiers opened their mouths, and people from the noble families and Guanlong clans raised their heads one by one, with different eyes.

Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin and other officials lowered their heads and pretended to be confused, criticizing themselves?

Li Zhi glanced over the faces of the courtiers, his eyes were shining brightly, his eyes stopped at Cheng Yaojin's position, "Lu Guogong."

"The minister is here!" Cheng Yaojin stood up and rolled his eyes a few times.

"I heard that you had a close relationship with Qin Shou before, is there such a thing?"

Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Which son of a bitch, didn't you hold back your blindness?"

He glanced around, and then saluted Li Zhi: "Your Highness, you can't listen to the villain's words. Qin Shou cheated me of more than 2 yuan when he raised funds and didn't pay back!"

"There is also the dividend that was agreed at the beginning, but it has not been fulfilled until now. Uncle Guo also knows about this. Your Highness can ask about it."

Li Zhi's mouth twitched, and his chest heaved a little, "Be careful with etiquette when speaking, I'm just asking a question!"

Cheng Yaojin nodded, saluted and said: "I am used to speaking bluntly, I hope Your Highness will not be offended."

Li Zhi frowned and looked at him with cold eyes, and didn't say anything for a long time.

As the heir to the throne, how could he fail to see Cheng Yaojin's careful thinking, and wanted to beat him up, but he didn't expect this old guy to be so muddled.

Either way!

Li Zhi suppressed the anger in his heart, and said calmly: "From today onwards, take back Qin Shou's previous right to manage coal and his right to manage salt."

"On the basis of the original charcoal and table salt, plus five surnames, Qiwang and various families in Guanlong..."

This decision was made after several negotiations between Li Zhi and the major families. Although Li Shimin's previous decision was not completely overturned, these aristocratic families were added.

But in fact, it is already in name only, because the entrance of the noble family and the various ethnic groups in Guanlong, as time goes by, whether it is coal or salt, the right to speak will once again be left behind.

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

"Minister and others seconded"

The courtiers above the court echoed one after another.

After discussing this topic, the eunuch stood up and said, "Let's retreat if there is nothing to do!"

"Your Highness, I have something to do!" Changsun Wuji suddenly stood up, "I heard that Your Highness has been going to and from Ganye Temple in recent days?"

Li Zhi took a deep breath, and glanced at Changsun Wuji intentionally or unintentionally, with a strange expression on his face.

"Uncle Guo, I didn't understand what you meant!"

Changsun Wuji continued: "His Royal Highness's ascension to the throne is imminent, and the marriage between His Highness and the Taiyuan Wang family's clan daughter is also approaching. I hope His Highness will be more considerate."

Ok?

Hearing the meaning of this, some officials below all looked up at Li Zhi adorably.

Especially the clansmen of the Wang family in Taiyuan, one of the officials of the Ministry of Rites said: "Your Highness, my Wang family is already prepared, your majesty is seriously ill, and should be washed.
