During the first alliance negotiation with Er Zhang, Wu Sansi broke up due to the high price, and the two sides broke up a little unhappy. Soon, Wu Sansi heard that a poisoning case occurred in the palace and the imperial physician Yao Xi was affected. He immediately guessed that Er Zhang was attacking Li Zhen.

This made Wu Sansi a little disappointed. If Er Zhang had killed Li Zhen through the poisoning case, they would not have come to ask for help again. He secretly regretted that he would not have been so greedy if he had known that he would have been so greedy. He should have agreed to Er Zhang.

In the study, Cao Wen was comforting Wu Sansi, "Don't worry, father-in-law, the son-in-law has received the exact news. Yao Xi was rescued by Shangguan Wan'er, and the poisoning case has been left unresolved."

This news surprised Wu Sansi. Although he also hated Li Zhen, he heard that Li Zhen had reversed the situation at this time, and he actually had an urge to cheer, "Haha! Two Zhang's faces were probably swollen this time."

Cao Wen smiled and said, "This is because they underestimated the enemy. In fact, no one knows Li Zhen better than me. I watched him grow up. He is good at turning the tables in adversity. That year, he was bullied by several major families in Dunhuang. But he actually found Wang Xiaojie's way, reversed the situation in one fell swoop, and successfully won the quota. At that time, I knew that he was not a simple person, but Er Zhang thought too simply, thinking that a poisoning frame could defeat Li Zhen. I can only say that their strategy is still one point."

Cao Wen pointed to his head, "There is not enough here!"

Wu Sansi sighed, "It's a pity that Li Zhen refused to help me, otherwise I would have ascended the throne today."

Speaking of this, Wu Sansi's expression became ferocious, and she gritted her teeth and said, "If he does not help me, then he will be my enemy. We must get rid of him, otherwise I will die in his hands sooner or later."

Cao Wen's expression was a bit unnatural, not because Li Zhen was his wife's brother-in-law. Although he also knew that his ex-wife Li Quan's business was getting bigger and bigger and he had become the leading female rich man in the Tang Dynasty, he did not regret divorced Li Quan. However, he asked Wu Sansi today to talk to him about his involvement in the prime minister.

When Di Renjie passed away, there was a vacancy in the prime minister. Countless people were staring at this position. Cao Wen was no exception. Moreover, he had real talents and knowledge. Even Di Renjie praised him for his talent as a prime minister. So he leaned on Wu Sansi, why didn't this prime minister belong to him?

It is said that Gao Feng, Zhang said, Song Jing, Huan Fan and others are also staring at this position. There are too many monks and less porridge, and it depends on who has stronger off-field ability. Cao Wen hopes that Wu Sansi can use this as a condition to trade with two Zhangs, but Wu Sansi seems to be unable to remember this.

Cao Wen was about to speak, and at this moment, his third son Wu Chonglie reported outside the door: "Father, Brother Yanxiu is here and says he has an urgent matter to report."

"Let him in!"

After a moment, Wu Yanxiu hurried in and said anxiously: "Second uncle, there is urgent news."

"What's the matter?" Wu Sansi asked a little unhappy.

"I got a news today that Wu Youning will be named King of Yan."

Wu Sansi was stunned. He didn't hear such a thing at all. After a while, he shook his head and said, "It's impossible! He is not a legitimate relative, how could he be named Prince? Your news must be wrong."

Cao Wen next to him asked: "Yanxiu, where did this news come from?"

"When I was playing polo today, I heard from Li Longji that he got news from his aunt Princess Taiping yesterday."

Wu Sansi also felt a little uneasy and asked nervously: "Son-in-law, you don't think this is true, right?"

Cao Wen lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said to Wu Sansi: "Wu Youning is still in Chang'an. It takes time for him to come from Chang'an, so it is reasonable for the news of the blockade during this period, but there will definitely be a clue leaking. Princess Taiping may know that although this matter cannot be said to be absurd, it cannot be distracted. I'll go and inquire about it."

Wu Sansi began to panic when he heard that Cao Wen was not right with him. He knew better than anyone else that his only capital was that he was the only remaining prince of the Wu family. If the Wu family inherited the country, then he would have to be Wu Sansi. But if there was another prince, and he was young and strong, better than him, and more capable than others, then his position would have been really shaken.

"Son-in-law, this matter is of great importance, we must not take it lightly!"

At this time, his son Wu Chonglie ran to the door again to report: "Father, Wu Yizong is here!"

Cao Wen immediately reacted, "This must be the Zhang brothers who asked him to come over, and my father-in-law might as well meet him."

Wu Sansi was extremely disgusted with the Emperor Wu Yizong who betrayed him. He didn't want to see this person, but after Cao Wen said this, he changed his mind and said to Wu Chonglie outside the house: "Take him to the guesthouse and I'll come soon."

Wu Yizong had a very poor reputation among the Wu clan members, and no one didn't hate him. Wu Yanxiu stood up and said, "Second uncle, then I'll go back first."

"Okay! Thank you for sending the message."

Wu Sansi winked Cao Wen again and asked him to accompany him. Cao Wen nodded and followed Wu Sansi to the guest hall.

Wu Yizong was sitting in the hall drinking tea. When he heard footsteps, he turned around and saw that it was Wu Sansi coming. He quickly got up and saluted, "I'm going to see the second uncle!"

"Um!"

Wu Sansi reluctantly agreed and said to him: "Sit down!"

The two of them took a seat. Cao Wen sat on the other side of Wu Sansi. Wu Yizong smiled and said, "I will tell my second uncle a good news first. Another prince will be released among our Wu clan. General Zhang told me that the emperor has decided to grant Wu Youning the King of Yan, so that our Wu clan and Li clan's ability to compete will be strengthened again."

Wu Yizong was straight to the point and sealed Wu Sansi's room for bargaining. Wu Sansi felt that his eyes were dark and almost fainted.

Wu Yizong was also outstanding when he was attracted by Er Zhang. He was insidious and cunning, and was good at observing words and expressions. He deliberately threw out the fact that Wu Youning was named Prince first and tried Wu Sansi. Sure enough, when he saw Wu Sansi's face change drastically and there was a look of fear in his eyes, he knew that Wu Sansi was afraid of this matter, so that would be easier to deal with.

He sighed deliberately: "General Zhang wanted to cooperate with his second uncle before, but for various reasons, the cooperation failed. However, General Zhang still hopes that our two families can continue to cooperate. This time I specially ordered me to express their sincerity to the second uncle."

"Sincerity?"

Wu Sansi sneered, "I didn't see where my sincerity is?"

"Of course my sincerity will be fulfilled. Uncle II is worried. They are trustworthy people. As long as the two families join forces to defeat Li Zhen, they promise to promote Mr. Chonglie to General Qianniu Guard."

Wu Sansi was furious and actually agreed to promote his son to General Qianniu Guard or to defeat Li Zhen. He was not even as good as sending beggars. He was about to refuse, but Cao Wen next to him said, "If Wu Youning was the prince, I'm afraid the two Generals Zhang would not have a better life!"

The implication is to remind Wu Sansi that the other party should use Wu Youning's affairs to suppress others. It is better to join forces to solve Wu Youning's affairs and then talk about the conditions to deal with Li Zhen. Wu Sansi suddenly woke up and sneered, "If Wu Youning ascends the throne, the first person he wants to kill is not me, Wu Sansi. Please tell the two Generals Zhang that Li Zhen's affairs will be discussed later, and solve the imminent crisis first. If they agree, then we can join hands. If they refuse, I am sorry, and I can do nothing."

Wu Yizong's face turned red and white. He didn't expect Wu Sansi to bite back and turn their advantage into a disadvantage in an instant. In fact, everyone knows that when Wu Youning was the prime minister, he had a very tense relationship with the second Zhang. In the end, Wu Youning was transferred to take over as Li Zhen's left-behind Xijing, which was also related to the breakdown of their relationship.

Wu Sansi was right. If Wu Youning came to power, the first person who was unlucky would be the Zhang brothers, and he would definitely kill the Zhang brothers and win people's hearts.

Wu Yizong could not go back and explain this way, so he had to lower his posture and said, "Wu Youning comes to the stage, and everyone is not having a good life. Why don't we all be more realistic, deal with Li Zhen first, and then work together to deal with Wu Youning. General Zhang will definitely make his second uncle come true and enter the Eastern Palace smoothly. What does the second uncle think?"

"Yes! I can agree, but I want to see their sincerity first."

"Isn't it enough to promote Chonglie to General Qianniu Guard?"

"No!" Wu Sansi flatly refused.

Wu Yizong's face became a little unnatural. He made a promise to Er Zhang that he would not have to give Wu Sansi any good conditions, or even if he didn't give Wu Sansi any conditions, he would give in obediently.

Because Wu Sansi was eager to become the crown prince, as long as he grasped this point, Wu Sansi would eventually surrender, so it was the plan proposed by Emperor Wu Yizong.

Unexpectedly, Wu Sansi actually refused flatly. Wu Yizong felt very embarrassed, which made him explain to Er Zhang how he went back.

But after saying this, Wu Yizong had no choice but to ask, "I wonder what sincerity my second uncle wants?"

At this time, Cao Wen coughed gently on the side. Wu Sansi remembered Cao Wen's request. He nodded and said, "My request is very simple. Let my son-in-law become a prime minister first. If you can't even do this little thing, then I really don't like the abilities of the two Generals Zhang."

Wu Yizong stayed for a while. This was the plan proposed by Zhang Changzong, but he was denied by himself. Now he was really going to be slapped in the face when he returned. Helplessly, Wu Yi had to get up and say goodbye. When he left, Cao Wen stood up and thanked: "Thank you, Father-in-law, for thinking of the son-in-law."

"Hey! If you don't remind me, I will really forget this."

But Wu Sansi still said worriedly: "I am still very worried now. We have spent too long on negotiations. Once Wu Youning returns to Beijing and is named King of Yan, it will be too late."

Cao Wen pondered for a moment and said, "Wu Youning's affairs are just a means of bargaining between my father-in-law and Er Zhang. Our real purpose is to deal with Li Zhen. I suggest that my father-in-law can do it first."

Wu Sansi understood the son-in-law's meaning, "You mean-"
