I have something to do today, I'm a little late to go home, sorry everyone

After only a moment, Jiuzhi came back to report: "Lai Junchen has indeed left the city and is leading a large group of warriors to the south of the city."

Zhang Li next to him said anxiously: "This must be accusing people at Li Guangshun Manor."

Li Zhen didn't say anything, and still paced in the room with his hands on his back. Everyone next to him was watching him, waiting for him to make up his mind. Li Zhen was quickly judging the time and rhythm in his heart. Once Lai Junchen caught Li Guangshun, he would inevitably expand the scope, including himself.

Li Zhen repeatedly considered that it was a little worse to fight Lai Junchen by relying on his own strength. He had to get support from others, but the most urgent task was to seize Lai Junchen's handle.

Thinking of this, Li Zhen waved to Zhao Qiuniang. Zhao Qiuniang walked forward, and Li Zhen whispered to her: "You take A Yan with you, be sure to find Qiao Zhizhi's wife's body tonight. This matter is of great importance. Never be discovered by Lai Junchen's people."

"Don't worry, there will be no problem."

Zhao Qiuniang bowed and walked away quickly. Seeing that there was nothing he had to do, Jiu Zhi asked anxiously: "Then what can I do?"

Li Zhen smiled slightly, "I want to write a few letters, and I have to send them for me."

There are more than a dozen manors near Longmen, most of which are places where the powerful manors in Luoyang come to escape the summer heat. Li Guangshun's manor is located in the northwest of Longmen Mountain. It is built on the back of mountains and rivers. The scenery is very beautiful, but the manor is not big, covering an area of ​​about 1,000 acres. The manor has no farmland, only more than a dozen buildings have been built, and various pavilions and towers are hidden in the woods, which look very cool in the hot summer.

Li Guangshun and his family arrived at the manor at noon. Before they could finish the countless large boxes, they were tired all the way and were ready to rest early.

Li Guangshun was sitting in the study room reading a book at this time. For him, this was a very ordinary day, and he passed by like this indifferently every day.

Although he is famous for his love of music, those who know him know that Li Guangshun didn't like music at all more than ten years ago. On the contrary, he hated all entertainment. At that time, his father was the crown prince and the crown prince. What he thought about every day was how to govern the world after ascending the throne in the future. He had an unusual interest in power.

But since his father was deposed and then committed suicide with hatred, his position as the crown prince was also deprived. Overnight, all his dreams and power were gone. He felt that his life was threatened. From then on, he suddenly became addicted to music, allowing music to numb himself, escape reality, and create an image of music obsessed with music to confuse those who are still worried about him.

But at heart, Li Guangshun still had endless expectations for power and the position of emperor.

It was already deep in the night, and Li Guangshun felt a little sleepy. He put down the book, got up and stretched his waist long, preparing to find his concubine Yu. Just as he was about to leave the study, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside, and a guard shouted nervously: "Your Highness, it's not good."

Li Guangshun opened the door and saw the guard standing at the door with a panic on his face. His face darkened and he asked unhappily: "What happened?"

"Your Highness, there are many men in black coming outside, all of whom are surrounded by swords and swords."

Li Guangshun was shocked. Could it be that the bandits had sneaked in? It was impossible to think about it carefully. This is Longmen, the southern suburbs of the capital. Where are there any bandits? He was surprised in his heart and asked again: "Who is it?"

"I don't know if I'm not aware of it."

At this moment, another guard hurried over and reported: "Your Highness, Lai Junchen broke into the manor and asked Your Highness to go out outside the lobby."

"Lai Junchen"

Li Guangshun was stunned for fear. What did Lai Junchen come to do for him? At this time, the butler Liu Changqing hurried over, "Prince, someone has sent a letter."

Li Guangshun was in a mess, and he took the letter in a daze, and asked again: "Who sent the letter?"

"I don't know, just now, a man in black sent the letter to the maid and ran away."

Li Guangshun opened the letter and looked at it. He let down his heart slightly. He immediately tore the letter to pieces and threw it into the incense burner. He said to Liu Changqing: "Lai Junchen just came to me. The housekeeper took good care of his family. I will be back in a few days."

After reading the letter, Li Guangshun felt at ease and immediately walked out of the hall. Liu Changqing knew who sent the letter. He was hesitating whether to tell the master about seeing Li Zhen, but he finally held it back, sighed, shook his head and ran quickly towards the backyard.

Li Guangshun walked out of the lobby and saw a large group of black warriors standing in the courtyard below the lobby, holding a torch in his hands, shining in front of the steps as if it were daylight. The person in charge was Lai Junchen, the chief censor, and Liu Guangye, beside him, standing on the steps with his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "Chief Lai Zhongcheng comes uninvited. Is this your way to be a guest?

Lai Junchen slowly walked forward and said with a smile: "I am not here to be a guest. I will take Your Highness back to Beijing by the will of the Lord. There are some things that need to be confronted with Your Highness. Please cooperate."

"presumptuous"

Li Guangshun snorted heavily, "I am the emperor's grandson of the priest. If you want to capture me, come out with the will of the priest."

Lai Junchen did not have Wu Zetian's will, but he had a way to deal with Li Guangshun, took out the gold medal of the censor and raised it high, "This is the gold medal given by the emperor. When you see the chariot, do you want to resist the order and refuse to obey it?"

The Censor's gold medal is Lai Junchen's trump card. He has used the Censor's gold medal to fake the imperial edict for many times, but he has never failed. He believes that Li Guangshun must bow his head honestly. Li Guangshun knew that he could not escape this disaster, so he had to strode down the steps and walk towards the carriage in the distance.

Lai Junchen was overjoyed and immediately said loudly: "Guard Your Highness and Return to Beijing."

Hundreds of people surrounded the carriage and rushed towards Luoyang.

The next day was Xunyou, and the court officials were resting at home for a day. This was also the day that the court ministers most hoped for. The weather was hot, and everyone was hiding at home to avoid the scorching heat and stole a day of leisure. However, for the prime ministers, Xunyou was difficult to rest at home, and they also had to go to the court to handle government affairs and participate in the affairs of the Political Affairs Hall.

Shangguan Wan'er is like the prime ministers. Her heavy government affairs make her have a rare moment of leisure. On the weekend, she also sorted out the memorials from various states in the official office, distinguishing priorities, and registering the catalog one by one.

At this time, the maid Xiao E reported at the door: "Master, Commander Li asks for a meeting."

Shangguan Wan'er's pen stopped. She pondered for a moment and nodded and said, "Let him come in."

After a moment, Li Zhen quickly walked into the room, bowed and bowed, "See the servants."

"Is there anything you want to ask me?" Shangguan Wan'er asked casually.

"Qi Shun, Lai Junchen arrested King Yifeng Li Guangshun last night."

Shangguan Wan'er's hand shook and almost wrote the words in the flower. She frowned slightly, "Why did he catch Li Guangshun?"

"Reporting to the shepherd, he wanted to open a gap from Li Guangshun and encircle Xingtang Association. Li Guangshun was just the beginning. Lai Junchen's real goal was King Xiang and King Luling. Of course, out of personal grudges, he also got rid of me at the same time."

Shangguan Wan'er sighed for a while and said, "Yesterday afternoon, Lai Junchen asked to meet the emperor. I was not here at that time. I heard that Lai Junchen presented two gold medals to the emperor. It seems that the emperor was convinced by Lai Junchen."

Li Zhen nodded, "Two gold medals in Xingtang Association, one belongs to Li Yuanjia and the other belongs to Li Guangshun. Lai Junchen connected the two together through these two gold medals, and Li Guangshun became Li Yuanjia's rebellious accomplice."

"What does it mean when you look for me? You won't let me save Li Guangshun, do you?" Shangguan Wan'er stared at Li Zhen with sharp eyes and asked coldly.

"I don't have this intention. I guess Lai Junchen will arrest me today, but I have a memorial to impeach Lai Junchen. I want to submit it to Your Majesty. I want to ask the servants to forward it to me."

Shangguan Wan'er stared at Li Zhen, and her eyes gradually became softer. She knew that Li Zhen could give it to the emperor directly, but he still asked for his help, which meant that he still hoped that he could help him.

Although Shangguan Wan'er was very dissatisfied with Li Zhen for the resumption of the Congress of Goryeo, she decided to help him again because of her past relationship.

“Where is the scroll?”

Li Zhen took out the report of impeachment of Lai Junchen from his arms and presented it to Shangguan Wan'er with both hands. Shangguan Wan'er took it and slowly unfolded it. Seeing that there were so many thousands of words written, he nodded and said, "I'll take a look and then submit it to the Lord. Since Lai Junchen wants to arrest you, you should stay with me for the time being and wait for the Lord's summons."

"Thank you, thank you."

Li Zhen paused and said, "There is another thing, and I must report it to the servants."

"What's up?"

"It's about Wu Sansi."

Shangguan Wan'er's face became a little unnatural. She was just angry about this. It was Wu Sansi's arrangement that assassination of the prime minister, but in the end all the responsibility was put on the Goryeo Restoration of the Congress, but Wu Sansi had nothing to do. Shangguan Wan'er didn't believe that Li Zhen had not obtained the evidence of Wu Sansi, but the evidence was not submitted in the end. Shangguan Wan'er also vaguely guessed the reason for this.

"Tell me, what happened there again in Wu Sansi?"

Li Zhen knew that it could not be hidden from Shangguan Wan'er. Although he was reluctant to tell Shangguan Wan'er, he knew in his heart that if he didn't say it now, once Wu Sansi turned to him, he might anger Shangguan Wan'er, and would ruin big things. After thinking about it, he still had to communicate with Shangguan Wan'er first.

"Bizhi and Wu Sansi made a deal."

"trade?"

Shangguan Wan'er snorted coldly, "You have returned Wu Sansi's letters and the like to him."

"Bizhi did not give him the letter." Li Zhen took out Wu Sansi's two letters from his arms, "The letter is here. If he is willing to help me defeat Lai Junchen, Beizhi will return the letter to him as a hot topic. If the servant wants these two letters, Beizhi is willing to break his promise."

Shangguan Wan'er was quite surprised. She didn't expect Li Zhen to hand over these two letters to her. She stared at the letter for a moment and shook her head, "You can take these two letters back. I have a lot of handle on him. I don't need these two letters. Since you have agreed, then return the letter to him. You can't afford to offend this person."

Speaking of this, Shangguan Wan'er sighed, "I know you are a smart person and are unwilling to be a puppet of others. A man and a real man should have such ambitions. I also hope that you can become a pillar of the court as soon as possible. You did this right. The emperor will not punish King Liang. It is wise to make a deal with him. I am very happy that you can tell me this."

"Thank you for your understanding"

Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "I believe that you will never have the only one to deal with Lai Junchen. You must have found evidence. I won't ask you anymore. It depends on the situation. If the situation is not good for you, I may help you."

Li Zhen nodded silently and gave a deep tribute, "I am waiting outside for a humble position."

"Go and wait until I read the scripture, I will go to find the Lord."

Li Zhen slowly retreated, Shangguan Wan'er opened Li Zhen's impeachment memorial and began to read it carefully.

In the inner and outer offices, Lai Junchen led dozens of gangsters and warriors into the gate. He shouted loudly: "Where is Li Zhen?"

Last night, Li Guangshun completely confessed to his collusion with Li Yuanjia, and also admitted that Li Zhen and Li Yuanjia had a relationship and signed the confession, which made Lai Junchen extremely proud. With this confession, he had reason to arrest Li Zhen.

Seeing that no one agreed, he shouted loudly: "I will come to the order, Li Zhen will come to receive the order quickly."

After a while, the new chief Yang Xin slowly walked out and bowed to him and said, "It turns out that he is here for the Chief Secretary, and the subordinate officials are disrespectful."

"snort"

Lai Junchen snorted, "Where are you commanders? Let him come out and receive the order."

"It seems that our Commander Li went to the Imperial City Office early in the morning. Do I need me to send someone to find him?"

Lai Junchen was stunned, and he suddenly felt a sense of badness in his heart. Li Zhen rarely went to the office, but he ran away today. Has he heard any rumors?

Lai Junchen ignored Yang Xin, turned around and rushed into the imperial city with his subordinates. He had to arrest Li Zhen first and then force him to confess. With the confessions of Li Zhen and Li Guangshun, he could make a request to the emperor to review the Prime Minister.

Lai Junchen ran all the way, and soon arrived at the Imperial Guard's official office in the imperial city. But coincidentally, as soon as he arrived at the Imperial Guard's official office, he heard someone shouting in the distance: "Lai Zhongcheng"

Two eunuchs rushed over and said breathlessly: "We are looking for Zhongcheng everywhere, but we can find it. Come and go to the palace. The emperor summoned Zhongcheng."

Lai Junchen was startled, "Two father-in-laws, what happened?"

"We don't know the specifics, but the inner guard Li is also there, and it seems that there is something to confront the Chief of the Central Commander."

Lai Junchen's mind buzzed, and he suddenly realized that Li Zhen had begun to fight back against him. It must be that he searched the Pure Land Temple and sent Li Zhen to find the danger. Of course, he would not surrender.

Lai Junchen was uneasy. He didn't know what Li Zhen was going to confront him. He didn't have time to let him continue to think about it. He had to follow two eunuchs to the Zhenguan Palace.

Soon, Lai Junchen came to the imperial study room, and the eunuch reported: "Your Majesty, you are here at the Zhongcheng."

"Supreme him in"

Lai Junchen heard the voice of the emperor a little unhappy. He felt even more uneasy and had to bite the bullet and walk into the imperial study room. In the imperial study room, Wu Zetian had a gloomy face, with Li Zhen standing next to him with his hands hanging down, and Shangguan Wan'er stood behind Wu Zetian.

Lai Junchen hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I am Lai Junchen to see Your Majesty."

"Lai Junchen"
