Chapter 248: Meet the Son of Heaven
Wang Ju sneered: "It is not important whether Captain Qin believes or not. But now, if we want to say that the King of Linzi rebelled, I am afraid that no one believes that whether or not Linzi rebelled may not be him, but those who have devoted their attention to him. These people have put everything on him. The King of Linzi is a vassal, without losing a glory and wealth. But these people are different. They become kings and ministers, but once they lose, they will be squeezed out of the temple. A new generation will beat the old ones. Who doesn't want to be a new one, and who is willing to be an old one? This is the case with people's hearts. If the King of Linzi immediately enters the palace and asks His Majesty for refusal to become a vassal, then... maybe Li Longji and his minions may not have a vassal, but he submitted a request to become a vassal. Captain Qin, they are going to take risks. ¢£,"
After saying this, Wang Ju paused for a moment and continued, "But... Your Majesty is unfathomable. Wouldn't she be at a slight precaution for this matter? In my opinion, you should find an opportunity to enter the palace and see Your Majesty's attitude."
"In addition, we must be prepared at any time. Once Li Longji rebelled, he would definitely take the Zetian Gate directly. However, the Tiance Army was different. The Tiance Army was stationed outside Luoyang City. Once a sudden change occurred, he had to enter the city. However, it was not easy to enter the city. But as far as I know, Zhang Rang, the guardian of Chengde Gate in the north, and King Luling, were best friends. This person could contact him in advance. From now on, the Tiance Army should not remove his armor. All war horses must be fed at any time and maintain full physical strength."
Wang Ju was silent for a moment and said firmly: "Captain Qin, can you enter the palace for the first time?"
Qin Shaoyou said: "It is easy to enter the palace, but the difficult thing is to find out about Your Majesty's thoughts."
Wang Ju smiled slightly and said, "It's always good to try it."
The two agreed, but Qin Shaoyou was very quick and took a few guards to Luoyang directly.
Luoyang City is as noisy as ever, with the scorching summer coming quietly and the scorching heat in the sky. However, this business trip is still endless.
Qin Shaoyou was wearing a regular suit, but with a silver turtle bag tied around his waist. When he arrived at Xuanwu Gate, he took out the token and begged for a visit. Soon after, someone from the palace led him in.
When he arrived at Xuanzheng Hall, he realized that His Majesty was summoning several prime ministers from the three provinces to discuss matters. It was inconvenient to meet him at this time, so he had to wait here.
But Shangguan Wan'er was cold-hearted. However, Yingying came out of the hall, but she didn't know whether she was intentional or intentional. When she saw Qin Shaoyou, she waved to Qin Shaoyou. Qin Shaoyou stepped forward and bowed, "I have met Shangguan Guan Kaizhao."
Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "It is said that you have done a lot of things in Mengjin and have a lot of money every day. Why do you have free time today?"
Qin Shaoyou said in surprise: "What a big deal."
Shangguan Wan'er still had a smile on her face and said, "Aren't you going to build a city?"
Qin Shaoyou was speechless. The construction of the city was just a preliminary investigation and preparation. The final plan had not been determined yet. Everything was carried out privately. Before Qin Shaoyou had submitted a statement, who knew that there was no airtight wall in this world. In the blink of an eye, it was leaked out. Even the palace knew it.
Seeing that Qin Shaoyou was a little nervous, Shangguan Wan'er comforted him, "Actually it's not a big deal, Your Majesty. You know your thoughts. Your Majesty asked you to be the captain of this Tiance Mansion. Isn't his intention just to check and balance?" Speaking of this, Shangguan Wan'er lowered her voice and continued, "Your Majesty naturally knows that this Tiance Mansion has put you in a Jedi. You want to build a city and collect food everywhere, and you can understand that there is nothing to worry about in this matter. Even if the censor impeaches it, the palace will be guaranteed to be suppressed."
Qin Shaoyou thought and said, "Have your Majesty been bothering Li Longji recently?"
Qin Shaoyou did not call him the King of Linzi, but directly called Li Longji, which shows Qin Shaoyou's mentality towards Li Longji.
Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "Your Majesty? Your Majesty wants a situation that cannot be defeated, but her thoughts have become increasingly unpredictable recently. Why, don't you want this Linzi King to be a vassal?"
Qin Shaoyou coughed and said, "It's nothing, but just ask casually."
Shangguan Wan'er and Qin Shaoyou are very familiar with each other. Although they have not had any private contact in recent days, this sense of intimacy is still there. She smiled and said, "You came for the dispute between the two Lis, right? In fact, this matter has nothing to do with you. Just take good care of yourself."
Qin Shaoyou couldn't ask any questions for a moment, and was about to give Shangguan Wan'er a clear idea, but at this time, Cui Xu and others came out of Xuanzheng Palace, and then an eunuch said, "Captain Qin, Your Majesty wants to see you."
Qin Shaoyou and Shangguan Wan'er looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "Let's talk about it later."
After saying that, Qin Shaoyou entered the hall and saw Wu Zetian sitting high behind the imperial desk. She looked a little unhappy. Qin Shaoyou stepped forward and saluted, "My Qin Shaoyou, I have seen Your Majesty."
Wu Zetian narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, you are here. It seems that you are not very good. Is there anything you want to report?"
Qin Shaoyou said: "My workshops are getting bigger and bigger, and more and more craftsmen are involved in making tea. In order to keep it confidential, I beg your Majesty to allow me to build a city in case of accidents."
This reason has been thought of for a long time. On the one hand, it is to see how Wu Zetian has been recently, and on the other hand, it is also to get Wu Zetian's support in building a city.
Wu Zetian obviously had no specific position on this matter, but only said: "Tea making is of great importance. In order to prevent the secret recipe from leaking, this is also a way. It is just a matter of money and food, but you have to raise it yourself."
Qin Shaoyou said: "I thank Your Majesty for your grace."
As soon as you go, you will lose your word.
Seeing that Qin Shaoyou was still wandering, Wu Zetian said, "How do I think you are restless?"
Qin Shaoyou was waiting for this sentence from Wu Zetian. He said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the King of Linzi is going to be a vassal. Please don't misunderstand it. I just asked casually."
Originally, as Qin Shaoyou's identity, he was not qualified to discuss such a thing, but Wu Zetian did not see the crime and said, "Yes, I have this intention."
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but observe Wu Zetian carefully, not knowing whether Wu Zetian said this sentence was true or false. He thought about it and said, "This is a good thing."
Wu Zetian said slowly, "Oh? Why is it a good thing?"
Qin Shaoyou said: "It is not appropriate for His Highness the King of Linzi to stay in Luoyang after all. Although he is young, he should be a vassal."
Wu Zetian sneered and suddenly sneered: "Qin Shaoyou... Don't keep it in hiding, why are you here to inquire about the Linzi King? Since you want to inquire, why do you have to indirectly attack? Just ask if you have anything to say."
Qin Shaoyou was shocked. His thoughts were exposed, and it was impossible for him to continue to be hypocritical at this time. So Qin Shaoyou said seriously: "When you go back to Your Majesty, I think this matter is strange. The King of Linzi has always been rebellious and has a high opinion of himself. But for some reason, he actually begged to be a vassal. Your Majesty, you must observe it."
Wu Zetian's eyes became deeper, a trace of light flashed through her eyes, and she said slowly: "You mean, this is the King of Linzi covering up his eyes and ears. He wants a palace transformation, right?"
Qin Shaoyou was speechless for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty..."
Wu Zetian said lightly: "I understand this...you go back."
Just a few words that were neither salty nor indifferent made Qin Shaoyou even more confused. Obviously, even Your Majesty seemed to have noticed it, but why was Your Majesty indifferent?
He couldn't help but feel annoyed and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I may be in trouble..."
Wu Zetian's face relaxed a little, perhaps because of the worries shown by Qin Shaoyou made her attitude towards Qin Shaoyou much gentler. She said slowly: "I am prepared for myself. In and outside the Luoyang Palace, I am already very cautious. Don't worry, even if it is absolutely necessary, the sky will not fall."
Qin Shaoyou suddenly realized something.
The disaster is rushing eastward, Your Majesty... This move may not be too vicious.
There will never be any mistakes in Luoyang Palace, which means that Wu Zetian has firmly controlled the palace city.
The implication is that even if the King of Linzi really rebelled and he could not break the Luoyang Palace, what would he do?
Once you are anxious and cannot get the Luoyang Palace, if you can't get the palace in this hasty, you will definitely die, because in this Luoyang City, not only the followers of the King of Linzi, but also the Wu family will never sit idly by. What will the final result?
It is almost imagined that once the incident occurs, but cannot take down the palace city, Li Longji will adopt the second plan, which is to take down the Longmen Palace. The Longmen Palace is independent of the Luoyang Palace, where the living is the King of Linzi's biggest rival, King Luling. Now His Majesty has only two bloodlines left, one is Li Xian, and the other is the lineage of Li Longji's father. Since the Wu family has abandoned the Wu family, the only one that can be chosen is these two children and grandchildren. With Wu Zetian's nature, it is impossible for other Li royal families to inherit the throne. As long as the King of Linzi surrounded Longmen Palace and killed King Luling, there will be only one descendant in the world, and there is no other choice except Li Longji and Li Longji's father.
But will King Luling be slaughtered? Although King Luling is weak, don’t forget that behind King Luling, Cui Feng and Di Renjie, none of them are a good-looking lamp. Once the trouble starts, not to mention the complete breakup within the Li family, they may even have to consume all their strength. Wu Zetian is firmly in the palace and sitting high on the Diaoyutai. Wouldn’t it be as stable as a rock?
Qin Shaoyou looked at Wu Zetian deeply and suddenly felt that it was difficult for him to use his skills in this palace transformation. It was nonsense to make up King Luling with this, because all this was arranged by His Majesty, and what he wanted was to exhaust the last little power of the Li family. By then, there would be no unfair ministers in the world. As long as His Majesty still existed for a moment, there would be no possibility of being overthrown in the world. (To be continued...)
