Wu Sansi finally handed over Mingtang to the emperor, and he got his wish and was named Prime Minister and served as Minister of Rites. He was the Minister of Rites and was second only to Lou Shide and Zong Chuke. However, he heard that Su Weidao had regained his post and even Di Renjie was re-activated.

Su Wei didn't care. Although he was good at being timid, he was timid and fearful. He was a timid person. However, Wu Sansi was very afraid of Di Renjie and even hated him deeply. Although Di Renjie strongly opposed Wu Chengsi as the crown prince last time, Wu Sansi knew that once he wanted to become the crown prince, Di Renjie would also strongly object. But the emperor believed in Di Renjie's words, which made Wu Sansi both upset and annoyed, but he had no choice.

In the evening, Wu Sansi returned to the mansion. As soon as he entered the study, he impatiently asked Mr. Ming to come over. After a moment, Mr. Ming quickly walked into Wu Sansi's study and bowed to him and said, "See the Prince."

"Why are there so many etiquettes when you sit down?" Wu Sansi waved his hand impatiently.

Mr. Ming looked at Wu Sansi in surprise. He actually knew Wu Sansi too much. He was so impatient only when he was upset. After thinking for a while, Mr. Ming understood. He sat down and smiled and said, "The prince is in a better mood today."

Not only was he in a bad mood, Wu Sansi was extremely upset. He paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. After a while, he said angrily: "The Zhengshi Hall is still missing a prime minister. Zong Chuke recommended the prefect of Jingzhou Liu Bingsi to serve as the position, but the emperor clearly stated that the position of this prime minister can only be served by Di Renjie, and it is also the Secretary of the Central Secretariat."

Mr. Ming was also surprised. Zhongshu Ling was the number one prime minister. He asked anxiously: "Isn't Zhongshu Ling Lou Shide?"

"Lou Shide will be transferred to the position of Inner Shi and take over the position of Li Dezhao."

Wu Sansi took a few more steps behind his hands, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I decided to take advantage of Di Renjie's opportunity to take office in Hebei and send someone to assassinate him halfway. Do you think it's feasible?"

Mr. Ming knew that this was the reason why Wu Sansi was upset. He had already murderous intent and was a little worried. Mr. Ming knew that Wu Sansi had made up his mind and said, "If the prince must do it, it's not impossible, but it's better to kill someone with a knife and not do it yourself."

"Whose knife will be borrowed?" Wu Sansi looked at Mr. Ming with anticipation.

Mr. Ming pondered for a moment and said, "In fact, there is someone who the prince can use him."

He whispered a few times, and Wu Sansi immediately woke up and frowned again, "But it seems that it is not appropriate for me to go find him."

Mr. Ming smiled faintly, "Why, I'll use a little trick and let him apologize to the prince."

This time, Wu Zetian sent a large army to quell the Khitan Rebellion. The one who was most disappointed was Wu Yizong. As the prince of Hanoi and the general of Zuo Jinwu, he was stronger than Wu Youyi in terms of qualifications and military connections. However, in the end, the emperor did not send him to lead his army, but instead made his clan brother Wu Youyi, whom he usually looked down upon, leading his army to the expedition, which really made him extremely angry.

Of course, Wu Yizong also knew the reason. This was because Wu Youyi was recommended by Wu Sansi, and he belonged to another faction of the Wu family and was suppressed by Wu Sansi.

During this period, Wu Yizong was really depressed. Since he returned halfway through the assassination of his trip to Yangzhou, all his contributions have been returned to Li Zhen. The emperor was also very disappointed with him and ignored his injuries, which made him feel a sense of inadequacy that he would be refrigerated.

At noon that day, Wu Yizong was drinking alone in the room. At this time, the voice of the housekeeper came from outside the door, "Prince, Eunuch Yang is here."

Wu Yizong was immediately excited and said quickly: "Hurry and invite him to my study room outside."

A glimmer of hope arose in Wu Yizong's heart. Yang Shanning must have a deep meaning when he came to his house. He quickly changed his clothes and hurried to the study outside.

Yang Shanning is also one of the four eunuchs in the provincial eunuchs. He is about forty years old, with very white skin and a pair of slender and narrow eyes, which always gives people a thoughtful feeling. In recent months, he has been favored many times because of his considerate intentions and has gradually replaced Gao Yanfu.

Yang Shanning sat in the study and drank tea slowly. Of course, he came to Wu Yizong today to find Wu Sansi's confidant in the palace. Because Lai Junchen was killed, Liu Guangye was assassinated, and Ji Xu, who was supported by Princess Taiping, won the position of Chief Censor, which made Wu Sansi particularly isolated.

Recently, another major event happened. Wu Sansi's old rival Di Renjie was activated again, which made Wu Sansi feel a strong sense of crisis. Under the persuasion of Mr. Ming, Wu Sansi decided to retreat and build a net, first unify the Wu clan, and the key to unify the Wu clan was Wu Yizong. Now Wu Yizong is neglected by the priest, which made Wu Sansi see the opportunity.

At this time, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside. Yang Shanning was a eunuch who was very good at peering at the hearts of the people. From the hurried footsteps of Emperor Wu Yizong, he knew the anxiousness in Wu Yizong. He smiled proudly and knew how to deal with Emperor Wu Yizong.

Wu Yizong broke into the room, and Yang Shanning stood up and smiled and said, "I'm going to see the prince."

"Don't be too polite, please sit down"

Emperor Wu Yizong asked Yang Shanning to sit down and asked the maid to serve tea again. He was a little anxious and asked, "Why did my father-in-law think of coming here today?"

"It's just a matter of going out, so I'll come and see the prince."

When Emperor Wu Yizong heard that he had not come to the court, he felt a sudden loss in his heart, and an uncontrollable look of disappointment appeared in his eyes. Yang Shanning saw it and asked with a pretentious concern: "Has the injury on the prince's leg healed at all?"

"It's been long since."

Wu Yizong said angrily: "I thought it was the Lord of the Lord who cared about my injuries. It seems that even if I died for ten years, the Lord of the Lord may not know."

Yang Shanning smiled and said, "The prince cannot be so pessimistic. The emperor originally valued you very much. Did the prince forget you? He also named you the General of Jinwu Guard. Most people do not have such honors."

Wu Yizong sighed depressedly, "But I don't know why the emperor treats me so coldly during this period. Is it because I went to Yangzhou to do something wrong? But that matter cannot be blamed. How did I know that I would be assassinated halfway?"

Yang Shanning knew that the time was ripe and he could induce Wu Yizong step by step. He shook his head and said, "Actually, the emperor also said it by chance. The emperor did have a lot of opinions about the prince, and was even very dissatisfied with the prince, but the reason was not a trip to Yangzhou, but because the prince ruined her major event."

Wu Yizong was shocked and asked anxiously: "I have ruined the great affairs of the emperor. Please tell me, my father-in-law, but I didn't know anything."

Yang Shanning looked back at the two maids standing at the door. Wu Yizong understood and immediately glared at the maid fiercely, "You guys retreat."

The two maids quickly retreated, and Yang Shanning stood up and closed the door, then walked back and whispered to Wu Yizong: "I don't say that the prince should know that the emperor's lifelong goal is to replace the Tang Dynasty with Wu and build the Wu family world."

Wu Yizong nodded. Of course, he knew the goal of the emperor, but—

He sighed and said, "We Wu family are all the same goals as the emperor, but I don't quite understand why the emperor is so hesitant. He found out that Xingtang Association, and simply caught everything in one go and exterminated the Li family. There would be no more troubles. He just looked forward and finally killed Lai Junchen, who was determined to eliminate Xingtang Association. It was simply painful for the relatives and the enemy was happy, which made people feel depressed."

"Things are not that simple. After all, the people in the world still care about Li Tang. If they engage in hasty work, it will arouse fierce resistance. Have you forgotten the rebellion of Li Jingye that year?"

Wu Yizong also sighed and lowered his head in frustration. He was actually not very concerned about this issue. Relatively speaking, he was more concerned about how to change the emperor's coldness towards him. Yang Shanning looked at him deeply. He knew that Wu Yizong had taken the bait, and now it was time to get the hook for a moment.

He said slowly: "In order to allow the Wu family to replace Li Tang, the emperor has made a lot of arrangements, including the title of Wu family to be king, but it takes even more time. However, the Wu family's internal struggle made her very passive and many plans could not be implemented. In order to bridge the internal conflicts of the Wu family, the emperor even exiled Wu Chengsi to Lingnan."

Speaking of this, Yang Shanning stopped talking dramatically, and a sudden enlightenment appeared on Wu Yizong's face, which meant that he had completely taken the bait. He said to himself: "It turns out that the Supreme General San Uncle was exiled to bridge the internal conflicts of the family. Wu Yizong believed in this explanation, because he knew very well the internal struggle between Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi.

At this time, Emperor Wu Yizong suddenly understood and asked hesitantly: "My father-in-law said that I ruined the great affairs of the emperor, which refers to the conflict between me and the fourth uncle?"

Yang Shanning nodded slowly, "It was because of the conflict between the prince and the Liang king that the emperor's intention to exile Wu Chengsi was lost, and her efforts to bridge the internal conflicts of the Wu clan failed, which seriously affected her strategy of replacing Tang with Wu. Therefore, the emperor was very dissatisfied with the prince. To be honest, the emperor had already murderous intent on his highness."

"ah"

Wu Yizong screamed in fear. He suddenly became frightened and bowed and said, "I beg my father-in-law to give me a way out."

Yang Shanning knew that he could not say it. If he said it, Wu Yizong would see through his motives. Wu Yizong must understand it himself.

He sighed with regret, "I just came to remind the prince because of years of friendship. I can't bear to repeat the mistakes of Lai Junchen. Lai Junchen ignored the intentions of the emperor and wanted to overthrow the prime minister and Luling King, so that the emperor had to get rid of him. Prince, don't underestimate the will of the emperor. Anyone who dares to ruin her major affairs will be eliminated without hesitation. Please think about what to do by yourself. I will say that, the prince should do it yourself."

After saying that, Yang Shanning stood up and said goodbye. Wu Yizong quickly took 300 taels of gold and forced it to Yang Shanning. He knew what to use to maintain their friendship. Yang Shanning hypocritically delayed it for a few times, then took the gold and left.

Yang Shanning left, but Wu Yizong was walking back and forth in the room in dismay, thinking that if he escaped the elimination of the emperor, Yang Shanning's words made him wake up as if he was dreaming.

Especially Lai Junchen's fate made him even more frightened. He was not stupid. He knew very well what Yang Shanning didn't say, that is, the key to solving his crisis, that is, Wu Sansi.

Wu Yizong also knew that Wu Sansi would definitely be favored by the emperor if he practiced Mingtang. If he did not bow his head, he would probably not only be as simple as not being able to stand out, but he would most likely even lose his life.
