In the middle of the night, when the emperor was walking, Wu Zetian, who was sitting high above, looked at Xu Shide, who was kneeling below, and said, "This is a good job, I will reward you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" Xu Shide continued: "I have something to ask Your Majesty. It has been two years since the case started two years ago, and it has ended today. I have never gone home to see it, so I want to go to the emperor before the emperor's visit." Take a leave of absence to return home to visit."

"Should I go back to my hometown, or go to grab the treasure of the King of Yue?" Wu Zetian asked suddenly, and Xu Shide, who was caught off guard, suddenly changed his face, and subconsciously called out: "What?"

Immediately after Xu Shide reacted, he said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I don't understand what His Majesty means? What... what is the treasure of the King of Yue?"

"Don't understand? Well, then I will remind you, you should know the three blue shirts, right?" Seeing Xu Shide's reaction, Wu Zetian already knew it well, seeing him insisting on arguing, he couldn't help sneering He said in a low voice: "Didn't you say that you don't want to be my eagle dog anymore, and you want to go back to your hometown to be a rich man? Why, what did you say, and you forgot it so quickly?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Xu Shide finally panicked after hearing this, stuttering and not knowing what to say.

"What? You still don't want to tell me the truth?" Wu Zetian who said in a cold voice, seeing Xu Shide's limp on the ground, immediately slapped the table and shouted: "Come on, drag this traitor out to me and cut his body up with knives. Chop it into a meat paste!"

"Ah...no, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare my life, spare my life!" Xu Shide trembled when he heard it.

Zhou You, who had already brought two Qianniuwei in from the outside, saw Xu Shide's pale face and his whole body sifted through chaff, he couldn't help thinking in his heart: "I knew this before, so why bother! Where did the courage to plot against the prince go now?"

"Tell me, what exactly is going on with the prince's treason? To be honest, as long as there is one false sentence, I will definitely smash you to pieces!" Wu Zetian sternly reprimanded, and Xu Shide was so frightened that he didn't dare to hide anything. Said all his calculations.

After hearing this, Wu Zetian's face turned dark, and then he shouted in a deep voice: "Come here, drag this traitor out and divide his body into five horses, and throw the body into the mountain to feed the wolves!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, please forgive me! Your Majesty..." Xu Shide hurriedly begged for mercy, but Wu Zetian turned around to look at him without looking at him again, allowing two Qianniu guards outside the door to come in and drag him out.

Seeing Wu Zetian standing there silently, Zhou You was about to leave lightly, but suddenly Wu Zetian said: "Zhou You..."

"Ah...Your Majesty! This minister is here!" Zhou You responded in a jerk, and then Wu Zetian turned around, looked at him with a faint smile, and said, "What are you afraid of? Do you think I am a man-eating tiger? ?Xu Shide deserves to die. He dared to expire on me and frame the prince. Naturally, I will not show mercy to him. But you have made a contribution this time, and you have saved me from being deceived by this villain. I will reward you well you!"

"Your Majesty, I was originally a knight-errant. To be granted the status of an official by His Majesty, and to become a thousand oxen, is really a great kindness. How can I not repay Your Majesty's kindness with death!" Zhou Youlian said with a terrified look. , anyway, it's worthless if it sounds good, as long as you can gain Wu Zetian's trust, are you afraid that you won't be able to get along in this world like a duck to water?

Sure enough, Wu Zetian nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Okay! It seems that I did not misunderstand the person! Zhou You, from today onwards, you are the cabinet leader of the Neiwei Mansion, second only to the Grand Master of the Neiwei Mansion." The leader of the cabinet is an official position of the fourth rank."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" On the surface, Zhou You looked flattered, but he was secretly depressed in his heart, dammit, the leader of the Neiwei Mansion?Power is not small, but it is an official position that cannot be seen!But it has to be admitted that the cabinet leader of the Neiwei Mansion is indeed Wu Zetian's direct lineage. He is probably more trusted by Wu Zetian than Qianniuwei, and it is easier to get in touch with some secrets.

Leaving the emperor's walk, and returning to the imperial envoy post for a tour, I found that Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang, Fang Yingyu and Zeng Tai were all here, and none of them slept in the middle of the night!After all, what happened before was so dangerous, who can sleep at this moment?

"Zhou You, what's going on? Why are you by the emperor's side?" Seeing Zhou You coming back, Di Renjie couldn't help asking.

Li Yuanfang on the side couldn't help frowning and asked, "Zhou You, are you an undercover agent sent by the emperor to Sir? Fortunately, Sir and I trust you so much, unexpectedly you..."

"Hey, okay, Yuan Fang!" Di Renjie waved his hands and said, "I believe that Zhou You is not that kind of person. He is a knight-errant, and he is used to being at ease. I am afraid that even the emperor would not be able to easily assign him."

"Hehe, adults still understand me," Zhou You said with a smile, and told Di Renjie the conversation between Xu Shide, Liu Chali and Li Gui that he heard in the mountain attic: "When I heard this, I realized It's not good! The matter is directed at the prince, so I dare not be careless. Just in time, I found that Xu Shide had other selfish intentions and was not so loyal to the emperor. After I followed him all the way and saw that he was going to see the emperor, I took the risk to meet the emperor and told him I have heard the emperor."

"At that time, I thought, no matter what schemes this Xu Shide has in the end, what he wants to do, as long as the emperor knows what kind of person he is, then he will definitely end badly," Zhou You continued.

After hearing this, Di Renjie got a little excited and hurried forward to Zhou You and said, "Zhou You..."

"My lord, what are you doing?" Seeing Di Renjie salute to him, Zhou You was flattered and even stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Zhou You, you must accept this obeisance! This is to thank you for the Great Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong, and the late Emperor, to turn the tide from the crisis, and to save the Tang family from being destroyed!" Di Renjie said repeatedly: " If you hadn't been brave and resourceful, and you became better at the moment of opportunity, I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would really be in danger."

"Xiao Hong has also thanked Guard Zhou on behalf of His Royal Highness," Fang Yingyu, who was dressed in black and looked heroic, hurried forward and knelt down on one knee.

"Hey, Mrs. Yingyu, please get up!" Seeing this, Zhou You quickly reached out to help: "No, what's going on? You and His Royal Highness?"

Di Renjie on the side also smiled and explained: "Zhou You, let me introduce you, this Mrs. Yingyu is also called Xiaohong, she is the prince's personal servant, and she came to Huzhou at the order of the prince."

"Oh, so you are from the prince? Let me just say, your background is unusual, but I really didn't expect it to be sent by the prince," Zhou You laughed pretendingly.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou You, who looked at Zeng Tai, couldn't help asking: "By the way, my lord, why is Master Zeng also an inner guard? What happened after Yuan Fang and I went to the theater and encountered a trap?"

Di Renjie also briefly said that he got a report from Liu Da, the housekeeper of Liujiazhuang, saying that Liu Chali was killed, but Di Renjie found out that the headless corpse was Jiang Laosi, a gardener, and found out that Liu Da was the murderer. The person who killed two Chang'an guests and threatened Zhang Chun and Wang Wu knew the identity of Liu Da Neiwei.

At the same time, Di Renjie also talked about the prince's visit to him, and that the two guests from Chang'an were actually sent by the prince to find Xiaohong. Later, Di Renjie also realized that Zeng Tai was the inner guard.
