Crown Tang emperor

If you can avoid the election, you can directly increase your official career for several years, and these people themselves have such achievements, and the next official career will undoubtedly be on a fast track.Maybe it won't take a few years to become a backbone inside and outside.

Thinking of this, many courtiers turned their attention to the acting king who was on the side of the case.

The water transportation reform was implemented under the promotion of Dai Wang, and His Majesty's rewards to these officials also showed that as long as they are willing to concentrate on their work, their official career will be guaranteed, and there is no need to indulge in turbulent power. fighting.

Li Tong is also very happy about this, not only because the momentum of his line of officials has grown, but also because his grandma's statement can also give the correct direction to the values ​​​​of people in the government and the opposition, so that more people with lofty ideals have the courage to do the right thing. matter.

However, at the end of the court meeting, the originally good atmosphere in the court hall was destroyed again as the palace attendant Zhang Jianzhi came out to perform duties.

Zhang Jianzhi bluntly impeached Wei Yuanzhong, a senior official of Shangguan Suzheng, accusing Wei Yuanzhong of ruling the constitution, but he could not rectify the situation of the government, causing evil forces to do things, so that the people of the government and the people were panicked.

Standing in the court hall, Li Tong watched Zhang Jianzhi's impassioned speech, and when he got excited, even the gray beard under his jaw flew up. The greater the sex, the more admirable it is.

If Li Zhaode's tough style is related to his outstanding family background, then Zhang Jianzhi's uprightness is due to his character.

He was born as an ether student and Jinshi, and he was over [-] years old when he was mixed into the Cangcao of the royal residence of Li Sujie, the son of Emperor Gaozong. He wrote "On Loyalty and Filial Piety" in order to ease the relationship between father and son, thus causing resentment to Empress Wu.

In the following 20 years, Zhang Jianzhi has been obsessed with things.It wasn't until Yongchang years that he won the first place in policy theory, and then he entered the court again as a supervisory censor.

Up to now, Zhang Jianzhi is nearly [-] years old, and he still has the courage and courage to complain in the court hall when the court officials are collectively silent.However, compared with the people who presided over the Shenlong Revolution and abandoned Zhou to Tang in history, what they are doing now is really nothing.

Li Tong always felt that if one really wanted to choose a court official who was in line with Wu Zetian's temperament during the Zhou dynasty, Zhang Jianzhi would be the one.Even in the aspect of disobeying the old, Zhang Jianzhi did better than Wu Zetian and won.

At the time of the Shenlong Revolution, Zhang Jianzhi was already over eighty years old, which can be called "an old man with a long-term ambition for a thousand miles".Although Li Tong didn't have a good impression of most of the so-called veterans of the Tang family, he sincerely admired Zhang Jianzhi for his old and heroic spirit.

Following Zhang Jianzhi's performance, several censors came out to second their opinions. Although their attitude and wording were not as fierce as Zhang Jianzhi's, they all expressed their dissatisfaction with certain aspects of the current court affairs.

Although the words impeach Prime Minister Wei Yuanzhong, the real meaning is of course Lai Junchen, who is currently acting rampantly.It's just that Lai Junchen's official rank is too low, and it's inconvenient to directly attend the court, so he points to Wei Yuanzhong.

After Wei Yuanzhong was accepted, he also came out to worship, but he didn't say a word or defend himself.It looked pitiful, but of course Li Tong understood how the old fox was submissive. As the official of Xiantai, how could he not know that the censor impeached the prime minister.

Zhang Jianzhi and others impeached him must have obtained his acquiescence or even under his instruction. The purpose was nothing more than to retreat, hoping to gain a certain right to speak in criminal matters, so as to check and balance Lai Junchen.

Although Wei Yuanzhong is not from the Four Factions, don't forget that he was framed by Lai Junchen and taken to the execution ground for a day trip last year. Seeing that Lai Junchen gained power again, he would of course feel uneasy in his heart. Communication is also human nature.

Wu Zetian's good mood came to an abrupt end as the censors came out to play.

Regarding the case of the imperial heir's rebellion, her attitude is also quite contradictory. On the one hand, she hopes to use this case to continue to dig deeper into the collusion between court officials and eliminate some hidden dangers. On the other hand, she does not want court officials to discuss this matter too much. , so as not to further reveal the incompatible bleak relationship between mother and child.

Therefore, Wu Zetian's subsequent reprimand to Wei Yuanzhong was not aimed at Zhang Jianzhi and others' participation in the performance, but was aimed at Wei Yuanzhong's negligence, and publicized matters that could have been resolved through internal communication in Xiantai to the court.

Seeing that Wei Yuanzhong, Zhang Jianzhi and the others had turned ugly and disappointed, Li Tong couldn't help sighing again.His grandma is also stubborn on this matter. If the entanglement continues, maybe Lai Junchen has not been hurt, and maybe Wei Yuanzhong will be dismissed first.

Originally, this matter should have come to an end at this point. After Wei Yuanzhong was trained, he and the other censors who went out to participate have also returned to their respective classes.But Zhang Jianzhi still stood in the hall, and continued: "The minister has made a report. There are many criminals nowadays, and most of them are serious crimes. However, it is only up to the first division of punishment, and the case is drafted. There is no repetition of the third trial, and no There are no three judges to participate in the trial, the name of the punishment is drafted, the death penalty is imposed immediately, and the discussants make their own opinions, fearing that the imperial artifact will occasionally lose benevolence..."

"Zhang Jian's theory of monsters! Quoting about benevolence and virtue, concealing memory, can't be realistic, selling fame and selling straight, I ask you to severely punish the fanatics, and use the police later!"

Before Zhang Jianzhi finished speaking, Wu Sansi stepped out of the train and said loudly.

"It's hard to hide your loyalty, and you have no shame in what you say. But with the discernment of the third trial, the public counselor of the third division, the minister has no fear of being punished, and reveals his own heart!"

Facing Wu Sansi's accusation, Zhang Jianzhi also refused to budge and continued to speak.

In the hall, Wu Zetian's face became even more ugly, and he was silent for a long time before concentrating on saying: "The performance of Cambodia will be transferred to the political affairs hall for discussion. Once the decision is made, the officials must not disagree!"

The early court ended in such a tense atmosphere, and Zhang Jianzhi, who was not afraid of power and fought hard with reason, also left a deep impression on people.Although the vast majority of courtiers dare not stand up to help him speak out, they are full of admiration for this veteran who has a strong character and dares to insist on himself.

After retiring from the imperial court, Li Tong led all the preparations to return to the palace from the Holy Emperor, and after turning out, he went to the Zhengshitang.

When passing through the Xichao Hall, I saw Shi Doulu Qinwang in Fengge running fast in front, and behind him was Si Bin Shaoqing Di Renjie and several other court officials, as if they were chasing Doulu Qinwang, Walked into Fengge one after another.

The scene was a little funny, but Li Tong couldn't laugh.This situation is nothing more than that Di Renjie and others hope that Dou Lu Qinwang can stand up and take responsibility at this critical moment, but Dou Lu Qinwang is unwilling to respond.

If Doulu Qinwang can't speak out in the political affairs hall, the opportunity that Zhang Jianzhi almost risked his life to win in the court hall will undoubtedly be wasted, and Lai Junchen will still lose control and handle the case rampantly.

Not to mention the entanglement on that side, Li Tong came outside the political affairs hall in Fengge government office and asked someone to pass it on to Yang Zaisi.

Without hesitation, Yang Zaisi hurried out to welcome them. After entering the hall, both parties sat down. Li Tong briefly explained his future intentions, and hoped that Yang Zaisi would come forward to coordinate with the winter officials of the Ministry of Industry.

After Yang Zaisi heard the words, he nodded again and again, and said: "This is originally a matter of the office, but there have been many things in the church recently, and I missed it for a while. His Highness, He Lao, will go to teach in person. Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will call Dong Dong later. Official Su Shangshu, make this happen as soon as possible."

After sending the acting king away, Yang Zaisi sent someone to invite Dong Guan Shangshu Su Gan.But as soon as people were dispatched here, Su Gan had already arrived at the Political Affairs Hall, but instead of coming to see Yang Zaisi, he went straight to Fengge Zhitang, and also joined in the negotiation with Nei Shidoulu Qinwang.

Yang Zaisi was left alone, naturally a little embarrassed, and the subordinate officials waited outside the Fengge Zhitang, and then retreated to the Zhengshitang.

Another half an hour passed before the discussion in Fengge Zhitang came to an end. When Di Renjie and the others withdrew, their expressions were not very good. It was obvious that this discussion broke up unhappy and failed to achieve the desired result.

When the official of the political affairs hall informed the Prime Minister Yang Zaisi to summon him, Su Qian went straight into the political affairs hall. When he heard what Yang Zaisi was talking about, he jumped up and said: "Dongguangong uses what he does, and he will succeed in his own way." It is determined, how can the rich and powerful follow private interests and despise envoys! On behalf of the king, he attaches great importance to power and influence, and does not say a word when the government is in trouble, but instead instructs the prime minister to steal merit for his disciples!"

After he finished speaking, he left the Political Affairs Hall without looking back. Yang Zaisi's expression was extremely ugly when he was accused of this.At this moment, Wu Sansi took this scene into his eyes, saw Yang Zaisi's embarrassment, and immediately showed a gloating smile.

After returning to his yamen hall, Wu Sansi pondered for a while, and then summoned the government officials to order in a low voice: "Quickly go to the Sixing Temple to inform the coming Junchen, and immediately invite Su Gan, the winter official!"

Chapter 0434 The old case has been revisited, and the minister cannot escape

What happened in the Zhengshitang soon spread to Li Tong.

When he heard the news, he was staying at the Lintai Foreign Office, and he was so angry that he stood up immediately and went outside the hall.

After seeing this, Wang Fangqing, who was the young supervisor of Lintai, hurried forward to dissuade him: "Your Highness, please calm down. Su Qian has served both internally and externally, and his qualifications are not weak. This time, his resentment is exposed, or he has other reasons. Your Highness hastily entered the provincial training. Ask, those who don't know may be telling the truth!"

"What kind of sympathy can there be? This old man in Kansai relies on his family background and his family background, and talks evilly about things! The Dushui Supervisor asked for an interview several times according to the rules, and many refused. It is dereliction of duty to neglect the official business. If such slander is unreasonable, You really think I'm cowardly and deceitful!"

Dongguan Shangshu Su Gan, who was also born in Guanzhong, was the grandson of Su Wei, the former prime minister of the Sui Dynasty, and one of the representatives of Guanlong in the court.Li Tong had always kept a respectful distance from these so-called veterans of the Tang family, trying to avoid direct conflict with them.

This time, if Tang Xiuzhong hadn't gone to Shang Shudong's official office several times to ask for an audience, and the dredging of the canal couldn't be delayed, Li Tong wouldn't have been able to come forward himself.

If he really wants to use power to suppress others, he can go to the official office of the Winter Official of Shangnan Province by himself, or go directly to the mansion to meet Su Gan, and let Yang Zaisi coordinate. Directly engage in targeted, negotiated solutions.

He felt that he had given these old Guan Long a face, but he didn't expect that his face was worthless in the eyes of the other party, and instead accused him of favoritism and stealing credit.The goddamn credit is not conjured out of thin air, the matter is here, if you don't do it, why don't you let others do it?

Of course, Wang Fangqing also felt that Su Qian's accusation was really out of proportion. Apart from other things, the reform of water transportation alone is a rare serious operation in the court's internal affairs in recent years, and it has already achieved initial results, but it is accused of being a powerful manipulator on behalf of the king. This is unacceptable.

However, it was not without reason for him to stop Dai Wang, he just said earnestly: "Now that the situation in the court is anxious, His Highness can stay away from disputes and focus on important matters of the national economy. It is really inappropriate to intervene rashly. Su Ganqi's argument is indeed good. I hate it, everyone can see the partiality, and the momentary perverse remarks are really not worthy of His Highness's positive response, and the public opinion of the imperial court will naturally not be lightly forgiven."

Wang Fangqing's reason is also very simple. The criminal cases that are rising in the court are aimed at the courtiers of the emperor's heirs. Su Qian holds an important position in the court, and he may already be in the sequence of being purged.

If the Dai Wang targets Su Gan out of a momentary mood, it is very likely that the Wu clan kings will use it as a sharp blade to cut off the imperial heir's party feathers.They can use this to get rid of Dongguan Shangshu Sugan, and they can use this as a basis to continue to expand their strikes and involve more court officials.

Once this happens, it will be difficult for the Dai Wang to get out. In order to protect themselves, the imperial heirs may not regard the Dai Wang as a direct opponent. When the time comes, the dispute will continue to expand, and then spread to the already existing A good start to the water affairs reform.Many personnel arrangements will inevitably be affected, and it can be said that the gains outweigh the losses.

Of course, Li Tong also understands that it is not easy for him to make a clear statement at this stage, but he couldn't bear to be slapped in the face like this. After sitting back in the table and pondering for a while, he said to Wang Fangqing: "I will grow up later. Shi entered the political affairs hall and expressed my feelings to Yang Xianggong on my behalf. I am really sorry to involve him in evil and evil things. By the way, I will see Mr. Doulu again and ask him for me if he is going to lose peace with me! "

After calming down the anger in his heart for a while, he thought about how to make use of this matter.It would be disrespectful and meaningless to directly accuse Su Gan face to face. If you want to be held accountable, you can ask Dou Lu Qinwang, the boss of Guan Longxun's nobles.

Although Doulu Qinwang didn't seem to want to be the boss, but who put him in that position?You can't control your little brother by yourself, and if you get anxious, I will do it with you!

Seeing that His Royal Highness had recovered his composure, Wang Fangqing heaved a sigh of relief, and then asked for instructions: "When you ask to see Mr. Doulu, first discuss whether you should mention it at the same time?"

Li Tong nodded after hearing the words. After leaving the Zhengshitang, he came to Lintai Province to discuss with Wang Fangqing the matter of nominating him to Wenchangtai in Shangshu Province.Lintai is a hospital, so it doesn't make much sense for Wang Fangqing to stay here.

In terms of qualifications, he has a clear history of positions and has been in charge of one side of the government. He can be regarded as a rare go-getter for his own side.It just so happens that there is such a need right now, taking advantage of the achievements made in water transport affairs, to fight for Wang Fangqing to be the left and right Chancellor of Wenchang, and to coordinate the various Cao divisions in the southern province, so there is no need to ask outsiders for help in everything.

Originally, Li Tong and Wang Fangqing were still discussing how to get someone from the DPRK to help and recommend them in order to be safe, so Su Qian bumped into them.

Such a matter is easy, and it can be used as an excuse to coerce Dou Lu Qinwang to recommend Wang Fangqing in the political affairs hall. In addition, the reform of water transport has achieved obvious results, and a group of middle-level court officials can help to finalize the matter as soon as possible.

Dou Lu Qinwang was trembling and struggling at the moment, and there was a high probability that he would not dare to take the risk of offending the acting king.If Su Qian's angry words angered Dai Wang and made Dai Wang also stand on the opposite side, he, as a prime minister, might have done his best, and even had to consider whether the whole family could weather the current turmoil smoothly.

The two of them had just agreed that Zuo Qianniuwei General Dou Lu Zhensong had hurried into the Lintai official office, and after entering the hall, he expressed that there was an urgent matter concerning the Weifu case.

Qian Niuwei has always been idle and bored, so there is no rush to meet him. Dou Lu Zhensong came to see him in a hurry, just to be a lobbyist on behalf of his cousin Dou Lu Qinwang.Li Tong gave Wang Fangqing a look, signaling him to follow the plan, and he got up and walked back to Qianniuwei Mansion with Dou Lu Zhensong.

Not to mention that Li Tong has already discussed the plan here. After receiving the news from Liang Wangwu Sansi's messenger, Junchen from Sixing Temple immediately summoned a group of party members and ordered: "Immediately find out about Dongguan Shangshu Suqian. In terms of personnel, whether we can be rich and powerful, we should belong to this person!"

This time it was reactivated, and Lai Junchen looked more arrogant than in previous years, but he himself was suffering and couldn't tell.

Originally, the accusation of the emperor's heir was a conspiracy with the king of Wei, but he managed to mobilize here, but the king of Wei was under house arrest in the Weiguo Temple, and he could not provide him with any support on the scene, so that Lai Junchen had to fall into a solitary army In the predicament of fighting.

He looks ferocious now, but he is actually using this posture to frighten Shiliu, thus buying himself more time.

After entering the Sixing Temple, he questioned the case day and night, but all he could get were some small fish and shrimps. He tried several times to besiege some important people, but either the key evidence was insufficient, or he was joined by court officials. resist.

Even the Si Xing Temple where he worked, a group of colleagues headed by Shaoqing Du Jingjian, restricted him so that he could not play freely.And some cases that have been closed and sent to criminals were frequently sent back for retrial by Xu Yougong, Qiu Guan's doctor, when they were submitted to Qiu Guan of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Lai Junchen was also worried that His Majesty the Holy Emperor's patience would be gradually worn away, and he would no longer pay attention to the cases he was pushing for trial.Once he loses the attention and protection of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, Lai Junchen knows that his death is not far away, so he urgently needs to make a big goal.

Dongguan Shangshu Su Gan has enough weight, his official position is not low, and he is a prominent figure in the court of Guanlong. He has contacts with many Guanlong families. .

So this person was at the top of the list in Lai Junchen's mind, and now he has been summoned by King Liang, and what's even better is that this Su Gan has just offended King Dai.If Lai Junchen can't weave Zhiluo into punishment and put him in death row, then he doesn't have to mess around at all.

Lai Junchen's party members themselves were prepared, and they would do things as soon as they were instructed, and soon wrote a long indictment, detailing many of Su Gan's indictments.The most vicious one is that Su Qian once participated in the rebellion of Li Tang's clan, and had frequent correspondence with Li Zhuan, the son of Han Wang Li Yuanjia.

The reason for citing this old crime instead of introducing Su Qianqiang into Lai Junchen's current rebellion case against the emperor's heir is because many of the Guanlong family's Quyin were blocked by Li Zhaode, the Prime Minister of Xijing, and Lai Junchen could not grasp it at all.

The second is that Lai Junchen started his career as a whistleblower for Li Tang's clan to cause chaos, so he knows the inside story of this case that has passed for several years.

He accused Su Gan of false accusations, and he didn't just talk about it. When Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, was granted the title of Xu Wang, Su Qian served as the secretary of his palace, and thereafter the two families had a good relationship.

In the old days of Tianshou, Lai Junchen was busy hunting the prime minister in the court and concocting unjust prisons, while Su Gan served as the governor of other states in Hebei, and was not listed as the first series of targets by Lai Junchen, so these old things sank into the bottom of the case. It didn't have time to be quoted, but it can be used as an emergency right now.

Lai Junchen knew that His Majesty the Holy Emperor had zero tolerance for the collusion between Li Tang's clan and Guan Long Xungui, and once he found any clues, he would strictly investigate to the end.When Su Qian was introduced into the criminal case, how to discuss his crime in detail would depend on Junchen's impromptu performance.

With this criminal charge in hand, Lai Junchen went straight to the straight hall of Si Xing Temple, put the case file on Du Jingjian's desk, and said: "A low-ranking official has discovered the secrets of a rebellious case, please approve it, and arrest the criminal immediately!"

Hearing this, Du Jingjian was a little irritable, but also curious. Lai Junchen was always arbitrary, and he never asked for instructions when arresting criminals. Why did he, a young minister, take him seriously today?

But when he unfolded the case file and glanced at it hastily, his expression changed suddenly, and he said in a concentrated voice: "The case is serious, is there any evidence to prove the crime?"

"Shaoqing has also been in the criminal department for a long time, and the criminal is still at large without trial, so what are the facts of the crime?"

Seeing Du Jingjian's expression suddenly changed, Lai Junchen sneered, grabbed the case file in his hand again, and continued: "Since Shaoqing doesn't dare to approve it, then let the humble official go there in person! The humble official pushes the case, and it takes a moment. In order to solve the case quickly, sometimes I have no time to go to court to report, so please don't take responsibility, Shao Qing!"

He didn't intend to get Du Jingjian to approve it at all, he just used this matter as a warning to Du Jingjian that I can make big incidents easily, and if you continue to obstruct, you may fall into it at any time!

Chapter 0435 North gate fights, obeys orders

In the evening, Si Xing Cheng Lai Junchen personally led a group of criminals to arrest Dong Guan Shangshu Su Gan in front of Duanmen who was about to return to his residence, which immediately caused an uproar inside and outside the court.

Li Tong had already left the palace to return to his residence, and was going to meet some officials and courtiers he had made friends with in the palace, preparing for the next struggle for power.

In the evening, visitors came to the door one after another. After hearing the news, he quickly terminated the banquet, and went straight to the Xuanwu Gate of Beicheng surrounded by the guards, and personally presided over the night.

The subsequent development of the situation was not as expected by Li Tong. Although it was getting dark when he arrived at Xuanwu Gate, there was still an endless stream of people submitting letters in front of Xuanwu Gate.Lai Junchen's arrest of Su Gan was like throwing a big stone into the pool, which soon caused layers of ripples on the surface of the pool.

The Su family is a long-established family in Guanlong, and the network of relationships behind it can be described as huge. Su Qian's father, Su Xu, is also the son-in-law of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, and an old man in Taizong Qin's palace.Even shortly after Li Tong returned to his residence, someone who pleaded for Su Qian's crime came to see him.

The so-called pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, Junchen came to push the case before, but he didn't catch any big targets, which already made the court officials worry. Now, suddenly attacking Sugan, a big fish, is naturally even more frightening. add.

But the current situation is not the old year after all, whether Lai Junchen can chew on Su Gan's hard bone is also a test of his teeth.Just looking at the people in front of the Xuanwu Gate who asked to be summoned by the forbidden, we can know that this turmoil must not be small.

Li Tong rushed to the palace at this time to stay overnight, one is that at the critical moment, of course he must stand on his grandmother's side with a clear stand, and the other is that he doesn't want to get involved in this muddy water, to avoid being begged for mercy.

Lai Junchen chose to hunt Su Qian at this time, obviously because Su Qian offended the Dai Wang for a considerable part.

Although under Wang Fangqing's persuasion, Li Tong didn't go directly to trouble Su Gan, but he was not tolerant enough to help him.Right now, these nobles from Guan Long seem to be in a state of panic and are in a very pitiful situation, that's because of the pressure from Wu Zetian at the top.

If it weren't for the existence of his grandma, these old Guanlongs would not have taken Li Tong seriously at all, just judging by Su Qian's attitude towards him during the day.Perhaps in the eyes of those people, Dai Wang, as a descendant of the Li family, did not help them wholeheartedly, which was much more hateful than the kings of the Wu family.

Here at Xuanwu Gate, Zuo Yulin General Qu Chongyu has been summoned into the forbidden center to personally preside over the guards.

Every time this level of cleaning was carried out, Wu Zetian seemed to kill all directions and be unstoppable, but there was a tension in her heart, fearing that she would suffer a high-intensity rebound.

Qu Chongyu first led 1000 Yulin troops into the palace, but in just over an hour, he successively transferred [-] people from Xuanwumen. It has already entered the imperial city and defended the Zhengshitang.

Leaving aside whether there is a need for this level of guards, just seeing the mobilization of Beiya's troops, Li Tong knew that Su Gan was doomed this time, and his grandmother would never let it go.And these people gathered in front of Xuanwu Gate, no matter whether they were really panic or wanted to gather crowds to exert pressure, they were undoubtedly continuing to push Su Qian to his death.

After a period of time, another order came from the palace, commanding You Habayashi General Wu Youning to disperse the people outside the palace gate, and no more idlers are allowed to stay here.

At this time, Li Tong had also entered Xuanwu City, assigned Qianqi to patrol, and at the same time called Guoyi and Deng Wansui, and asked him in a low voice to pay attention to the surroundings of Zhuang Jingyuan where the emperor's heir lived.Once it is discovered that someone has entered and left without notification, they will be arrested and killed on the spot without interrogation.

Although the relationship between him and his fourth uncle has gradually deteriorated, it has not risen to the level of life and death. The reason why he gave such an order is to hope that his fourth uncle can stay in the prison and not be disturbed by outside personnel.If there is another incident of visiting the emperor's heir privately under such circumstances, it will be really fatal.

There are quite a few people who have the motivation to do so, not to mention whether the Shiliu of the emperor's heir line will go to the doctor in a hurry and mobilize the eyes and ears of the palace to pass the news, and it cannot be ruled out whether the Wu family will take this opportunity to frame , Divided.

Although the atmosphere was tense in the first half of the night, it was safe and sound. However, just after midnight, there was a slight commotion at the Xuanwu Gate.

Li Tongduan was sitting in the straight hall of Xuanwu City, and as soon as he got the report from the sergeant, he quickly got up, grabbed his saber, and walked towards the Xuanwu Gate, accompanied by twenty thousand cavalry sergeants.

When he came here, Li Tong found that the small door on the left side of the Xuanwu Gate had been opened. Wu Youning was leading Xue Huaiyi, who had a bright head, into the Xuanwu City. Quite confusing.

Xue Huaiyi also saw the Dai Wang in armor and leading the crowd, a sneer appeared on his face, pointed at Li Tong, and said: "It's so common, but it looks very human when you wear military uniforms. It’s just that the soldiers are fierce and the armor is cold, it’s not a prank, if you are not careful, you will hurt yourself!”

Li Tong ignored Xue Huaiyi, just looked at Wu Youning and frowned, "Where did King Jianchang order to open the palace gate?"

"Master Xue is a vulgar person. If you come to see me at night, you must be in a hurry. You don't have to follow the rules. It's been like this in the old days, and the king is the new one, so I don't know. Let's go!"

Wu Youning waved his hand and said.

Xue Huaiyi also stepped forward and stood opposite Li Tong with his hips akimbo: "I won't make any private reminiscences tonight. When I see His Majesty the Holy Emperor, I will make my own decision. Don't forcefully obstruct and annoy me on behalf of the king."

"It's the responsibility, don't dare to slack off. If you don't have an order, you can't do it. It's not to make things difficult. Master Xue, please wait for a while, let me envoy to sue for ban!"

Li Tong raised his hand to summon a subordinate, and went inside to report to Xue Huaiyi in front of him.
