In the imperial study room, Wu Zetian was furious. Ji Xu, the censor who was responsible for investigating Zhang Jingxiong's murder, sent a preliminary investigation report. There was a shocking news in the report. When Zhang Jingxiong was dying, he seemed to want to write the murderer's name, "The murderer, Lu..., what Lu, most people would think of King Luling, including Wu Zetian, in this direction.

Standing next to Shangguan Wan'er and Wu Sansi, Shangguan Wan'er's expressions were solemn and her eyes were full of worry. She knew that the situation was quite unfavorable to Li Xian. No matter whether it was Li Xian's actions or not, as long as these words were there, Li Xian might have to take responsibility in the end.

In contrast to Shangguan Wan'er, these blood words made Wu Sansi become hysterical as if he had been injected with chicken blood. "Your Majesty, the person is about to die, and his words are good. The evidence left by Zhang Jingxiong before his death must be true. This matter was not done by King Luling, but must be related to King Luling. Please send an order to search the Luling Palace to see if the robbed treasure is in the palace."

Wu Sansi saw an opportunity in this incident. Zhang Jingxiong was killed. How could the Zhang brothers give up? He must take this opportunity to completely eradicate the Luling King Li Xian and reduce one major obstacle to his path to the prince.

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't bear it anymore and refuted Wu Sansi and said, "Your Highness King Liang has such rich associations. When you see the word Lu, you will believe it was done by King Luling. If you write the word Liang, is it done by King Liang?"

"You. You are simply messing around." Wu Sansi pointed at Shangguan Wan'er and said angrily.

Shangguan Wan'er ignored him and said to Wu Zetian: "Your Majesty, the word Lu does not mean anything. It cannot mean that it refers to King Luling. If you take a step back, how can you prove that this is not framed by someone? How can you prove that those words are written by Zhang Jingxiong. Your Majesty, King Luling has been in poor health in recent years, and everyone in the world knows how he would have the will to kill Zhang Jingxiong?"

Wu Sansi snorted coldly, "It doesn't mean that the people around him are heartless."

"Enough!"

Wu Zetian shouted tiredly and stopped the quarrel between the two. She had become old these two years, and her body was not as good as before. She lacked energy. The quarrel between Wu Sansi and Shangguan Wan'er made her dizzy. She asked extremely unhappy: "Why haven't the two Generals Zhang come yet?"

"Your Majesty, we are here!"

The Zhang brothers quickly walked into the study and knelt down together, "See Your Majesty!"

"Get up!"

Wu Zetian waved his hand, "I have said it many times, don't kneel down anymore, you just don't listen."

"Kneel down to Your Majesty, our brothers are willing to do so."

Wu Zetian suddenly felt happy, and saw the two of them with bright eyes and white teeth, extremely handsome, and even more pity in their hearts, and waved, "Stand behind me."

Er Zhang immediately stood behind Wu Zetian and obediently beat her shoulders and backs. Wu Zetian was very happy and grabbed the hands of the two and said, "I understand that your heart is painful, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."

When Shangguan Wan'er saw that the emperor was protecting the two chickens like an old hen, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "The emperor has been completely bewitched by them."

At this time, Wu Sansi said flatteringly: "The two generals, the Censorate, have found some clues. Before his death, General Jingxiong wrote a few words, 'The murderer is Lu. Lushan."

After saying that, Wu Sansi looked at the Zhang brothers with anticipation, and Wu Zetian asked them softly again, "What do you think?"

This is what the two of them think is done by King Luling, and Wu Zetian is about to take action. Shangguan Wan'er was immediately anxious. She wanted to say a few more words, but she didn't know where to start.

Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi looked at each other, and Zhang Changzong murmured: "I'm afraid. I'm afraid my brother can't recognize a few words."

This sentence was really unexpected, and everyone was stunned. If Zhang Jingxiong was illiterate, those few blood words would obviously be framed by someone.

Wu Sansi did not realize the subtle changes in the attitude of the Zhang brothers. He was still immersed in the idea of ​​overthrowing Li Xian. Wu Sansi immediately said anxiously: "I have had contact with General Jing Xiong. Although he doesn't know much about literacy, he still knows some words. These words are very simple, and he should know how to write them."

Shangguan Wan'er sighed lightly. She saw that the Zhang brothers did not want to investigate the matter. Although it surprised her deeply, at least King Luling was temporarily safe. She took a tactfully and stopped talking.

Wu Zetian was also surprised. This was not the character of Er Zhang's distinct grudges. After thinking for a moment, she realized that Er Zhang was afraid of being embarrassed by her. After all, Li Xian was her son, and Wu Zetian felt even more relieved. These two men were really considerate. In this way, Wu Zetian wanted to ask for an explanation for them.

Wu Zetian pondered for a moment and said to Ji Xu, the Censor, who was standing at the door: "Ji Zhongcheng, if you go investigate this matter again, I will give you three days, so be sure to give me an explanation."

"I obey the order!"

..

Wu Sansi came out of the palace and rushed to his mansion. Although he was stupid, he still felt a little aware of it. When he was about to ascend the throne to the crown prince, would this happen? Will this be related to the matter of his crown prince?

The carriage was driving on the street, and Wu Sansi was sitting in the carriage and was thinking randomly. At this moment, he suddenly heard a few nursery rhymes, "Wu Sansi, hooked up with Hu, collected ice jade, harmed loyal and kindness. If he became an emperor, the world would collapse and the Wu family would be destroyed."

Wu Sansi was shocked and said anxiously: "Stop!"

The carriage stopped abruptly, Wu Sansi pulled the car window, pointed at the children not far away, and said to the guard order: "Go and catch those puppies for me!"

Several guards urged the horse to run away, and the children ran away in fear. The guards grabbed one of them and threw him in front of the carriage regardless of his crying. Wu Sansi asked the children angrily, "Who taught you to sing this nursery rhyme, say!"

The child was so scared that he shivered all over and sobbed, "Everyone is singing!"

At this time, more and more people came from all directions. Wu Sansi was upset. He didn't want to be watched and shouted: "The carriage started!"

The carriage slowly started, and threw the child off and headed south. The child's mother stepped forward and hugged her son and hurried back. Thousands of people around pointed and talked.

Wu Sansi was extremely angry. This kind of nursery rhyme was different from the usual rumors. This is called a prophecy, which is a very powerful way of slander. On the one hand, the court will definitely investigate it strictly and chase it out of the source. Those who find it are generally a death sentence.

But on the other hand, as long as the prophecy exists, the rumor-producer will definitely be affected. When he is about to be crowned as the crown prince, a prophecy appears in the capital. Even if the emperor's will remain unchanged, it will definitely delay the canonization of the crown prince.

Moreover, the Gouqihu in the nursery rhyme brought him to mind the rare piece of ice jade that Yi Yu had sent him wrongly back then. Only a very few people knew about the piece of ice jade. Now it has been spread, and it also verified the authenticity of the prophecy. If the emperor knew about it,

Wu Sansi felt a chill in his heart and urgently ordered the carriage to drive towards the mansion. After so many things had happened, he wanted to ask Mr. Ming to discuss the countermeasures.

As soon as Wu Chengsi's carriage arrived in front of the mansion, a butler rushed over the steps and shouted in horror: "Prince! Mr. Ming... Mr. Ming has something wrong."

"What's going on? What happened?" Wu Chengsi felt a little wrong and asked anxiously.

"Half an hour ago, the gentleman suddenly fell down and rolled on the ground in pain. When we invited the doctor, the gentleman was no longer able to do it..."

"How is he now?" Wu Chengsi grabbed the butler's clothes and yelled.

The butler lowered his head, "Mr. Ming has gone."

Wu Chengsi felt that his eyes were dark and he almost fell to the ground.

..

As night fell, pedestrians went home one after another. Even if a group of people who were difficult to go home, they would find a restaurant to sit down and wash away the fatigue of the day with fine wine.

In the Fulufang next to the south bank of Luoshui, a very ordinary carriage drove into the gate. The carriage was exactly the same as the taxi carriages that could be seen everywhere on the street, and it was even a little old, so that no one took it seriously.

The carriage stopped in front of a narrow alley. A middle-aged man walked out of the carriage, looked at the alley, and asked with a smile: "Is that the case?"

"Report to Master, it's here."

The follower hurriedly walked into the alley and knocked on the door. The middle-aged man also walked into the alley dozens of steps deep with his hands.

At the end of the alley is a small house covering an area of ​​about two or three acres. There is a big tree in the courtyard as paved like a cover. The follower stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Who!" a young woman asked, then squeaked, and the door opened a crack.

She was a pretty young woman. She looked at the people outside and asked hesitantly: "Who are you looking for?"

The middle-aged man walked up and smiled and said, "I'm looking for General Su Honghui, is he at home?"

"My husband is at home, but there is no General Su here." The young woman said coldly.

The middle-aged man laughed, "Then find your husband!"

The middle-aged man took out a post and handed it to the young woman. The young woman was illiterate. She hesitated and said, "Please wait!"

She 'slam' closed the door and quickly walked back to the house. The entourage was furious and was about to smash the door. The middle-aged man stopped him, "Don't bother with a woman."

In just a moment, a burst of rapid footsteps were heard, and a man angrily scolded, "How dare you be so rude!"

The door opened, and Su Honghui, with a bearded face, appeared at the door. He turned around and bowed, "I am not good at seeing His Highness the Prime Minister!"

This middle-aged man is naturally the prime minister Li Dan. Coming to find Su Honghui is Li Zhen’s second strategy. He confronts him head-on. Li Zhen hopes that Li Dan will take action in person. Although Princess Taiping wants to come to find Su Honghui for the emperor’s brother, Li Dan refused to agree and insisted on coming in person. In the end, Princess Taiping had to give in.

Li Dan smiled and said, "This is not a place for talking. Can we go in?"

Su Honghui hurriedly stood up, "Your Highness, please come in!"

He sent Li Dan and several followers into the yard and ordered the woman to go to Jiancha to entertain him. Su Honghui was held accountable for the case of Wang Xiaojie's death in battle. Although the Ministry of War asked him to be beheaded, Lou Shide spoke for him, saying that he had shown meritorious service and atonement. In the end, Wu Zetian dismissed him for the people.

Su Honghui felt a lot of grievances. He would come to the capital from his hometown every year to make a statement, but there was no result every year, which made him a little disheartened.

Su Honghui's official residence in the capital has been taken away by the Ministry of War. He could only rent a small courtyard in the capital, and his concubine was responsible for taking care of his daily life. Su Honghui never expected that the Prime Minister Li Dan would look for him, and a glimmer of hope suddenly arose in his heart.
