Wu Hongshan stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the pitch-black night sky, without moving for a long time. At some point, he sighed heavily, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.
Today, the excerpts played by Lulong Jiedu envoy were announced in the court hall.
According to the memorial, there is conclusive evidence that Li Guochang, the governor of Zhenwu, was the culprit in the murder of Kang Chengxun, and he listed the evidence that Zhenwu monks sneaked into Hedong to create chaos and trigger military and civilian turmoil. Among them, the most important witnesses are It was several Zhenwu monks who were escorted to Chang'an by Lu Long.
Zhezi caused an uproar in the court, and there was an uproar in the hall for a while, especially after Wang Duo and Lu Yan's party officials made generous statements denouncing Zhenwu's rebellious deeds, the officials in the court were excited and rushed to denounce Zhenwu, the prime minister announced that Zhenwu would enter the palace and reprimanded him angrily.
Thinking of that posture now, Wu Hongshan still has lingering fears in his heart. It was clearly the rhythm of beheading Zhenwu's Jin Zouguan and then using his troops to Zhenwu.
During the whole process, Wu Hongshan didn't say a word. He wanted to defend Zhenwu a few words, because in his opinion, those so-called irrefutable evidences still had many doubts and points worthy of scrutiny, and he had not given up on forming an alliance with Zhenwu. intended, but he couldn't.
The anger of the officials in the room was out of control, and the attitude of the officials was the same, as if they had discussed it in advance, so Wu Hongshan had to shut up.
After returning from the court, Wu Hongshan kept himself locked in the study. He knew very well that Zhenwu's reputation had been completely ruined. Under such circumstances, the court would not marry another princess to Zhenwu.

"Duke Ming, we have a visitor."
Wu Hongshan didn't want to meet the guest at first, but when he heard that the other party was Lu Longjin's official, his heart moved suddenly, and his intuition told him that he should meet.
...
Wu Hongshan held the tea bowl, lifted the tea lid a few times, but still had no intention of drinking tea, he simply put down the tea bowl, looked at the guests in front of him and said, "Mr. Zhang, why are you here today?"
Lu Longjin played the official Zhang He, with a smile on his face, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty Wu, you know why the princes in the court today heard the story of Zhenwu's murder of Duke Kang, and they all responded together and attacked Zhenwu with one voice?"
Wu Hongshan didn't want to lose face in front of outsiders, so he thought about it and said: "Everyone knows that when Wei Baoheng was in the court, he once urged his daughter to marry Zhenwu, so everyone thinks that Wei Baoheng has colluded with Zhenwu. Now Wei Baoheng Although the imperial court did not publish the names of other officials in the account book in order to reduce the influence, and did not thoroughly investigate who bribed Wei Baoheng, all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty who had contacts with Wei Baoheng were trembling. To slander Zhenwu from time to time is to deny Wei Baoheng, and this is an opportunity not to be missed for officials who urgently need to get rid of their relationship with Wei Baoheng."
"The son-in-law's words are justified. It's not bad, but it's still wrong." Zhang He smiled mysteriously.
"What's wrong?" Wu Hongshan was stunned for a while.
"Your son-in-law knows why Zhenwu dared to intervene in the case of Duke Kang's death. Just based on some clues, you can say that Zhenwu did it?" Zhang He asked back.
"This..." Wu Hongshan couldn't figure it out for a while, "Please enlighten me, Mr. Zhang."
"The next official can only tell the son-in-law one name: King An." Zhang He's smile became more and more unpredictable.
"King An? How is this possible?!" Wu Hongshan's whole body was shocked, and he gasped, his face full of disbelief.
"Does the son-in-law know that the reason why the officials responded in groups at the court today is because the prince arranged with Lu Gong?" Zhang He continued to dig deeper.
"It... is indeed possible!" Wu Hongshan nodded. After Wei Baoheng fell, Wang Duo and Lu Yan were the two biggest hills above the court. Too much.
"It's not possible, but it's true." Zhang He said with certainty, "Does the son-in-law know why?"
"This..." Wu Hongshan couldn't figure it out even more, and hurriedly cupped his hands, "I also ask Mr. Zhang to enlighten me."
"It's the same name: King An!" Zhang He said loudly.
"It's King An again? How is this possible?!" Wu Hongshan was dumbfounded and almost jumped up.
Zhang He took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and his smile was as unfathomable as the night. He stared at Wu Hongshan, who felt chills in his heart, and said, "Why doesn't the son-in-law think about it? Why does King An want to do this? Do everything possible to suppress Zhenwu, what is the purpose?"
Wu Hongshan just wanted to say something, but because he was too eager, he almost bit his tongue. He quickly shut his mouth, his heart was full of turmoil, and his face changed drastically. pacing back and forth.
"It seems that the son-in-law is upset, so Zhang will not bother me." Zhang He stood up and said goodbye.
"Mr. Zhang, wait a minute!" Wu Hongshan hurriedly called Zhang He to stop, and asked eagerly, "Why did Mr. Zhang come to tell Wu this today?"
Zhang He smiled and said nothing, before he handed over his hand and left, he just said: "My son-in-law, don't forget, because of whom did Wei Baoheng fall from power!"
Seeing Zhang He's figure disappear from sight, Wu Hongshan froze there, not moving for a long time.
He knew in his heart that all of this was because of Li Ye!
The younger generation who had nothing at the beginning of the year!
"In less than a year, this kid...has grown to this extent?!"
Wu Hongshan was restless and restless, "Now in the court, the most powerful princes and Lu Gongs are all obeying his orders! Doesn't that mean that even if he doesn't have the position of prime minister, he actually has the ability to be prime minister? And... ...and Zhang He actually spoke for him, doesn't that mean that Lu Long Jiedu envoy, who has always been rebellious, has turned to him?!"
"Suppress the court inside, tame and strengthen the vassals outside, even Wei Gong failed to do, but this son did it all without a sound?! This..."
"He can indeed do it, because Duke Wei, isn't he the one who overthrew him?! He can even overthrow Duke Wei. It is indeed possible to do this... But, he is How did you do it?! Wang Duo, Lu Yan, dignified prime ministers, how could they be willing to work with him?! This son... King An, it's too scary!"
Realizing this, Wu Hongshan's hands trembled and fidgeted. He remembered his attitude towards Li Ye before, and suddenly felt extremely bad. For a moment, he was filled with remorse, and even his intestines were green!
Wu Hongshan suddenly realized that Li Ye's energy had already surpassed his imagination, but no matter what, Li Ye was already in full swing. If nothing else, if he wanted to take revenge on Wu Hongshan, wouldn't it be easy and easy to capture
Wei Baoheng, the big tree he was attached to before, has fallen, and now he has become a "lonely man" in the officialdom! If Li Ye wants to deal with him, who can help him? Who will help him? Who dares to help him? !
"Quick, call Princess Li over here!"
"No, I'll go by myself!"
When I entered the door, I saw Wu You, the little girl was embroidering.
Seeing Wu Hongshan suddenly, the little girl was flustered, and quickly hid the flower cloth behind her back, looking around and asking, "Why is father here?"
"What are you embroidering, show it to my father." Wu Hongshan said with a pleasant expression.
"Father..." The little girl was very coy, her face was flushed.
With a wave of Wu Hongshan's hand, a gust of wind passed, and the floral cloth came into his hands. He looked down and saw a pair of mandarin ducks, which had already taken shape. "!"
"Father, how could you do this!" Wu You was annoyed at first, then lowered his head, wrapped his index fingers around his hands, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Father, I was wrong..."
Although she and Li Ye are in love with each other, and their temperament is quite rebellious, after all, after all, according to her parents' order and matchmaker's words, although she is self-willed, she is not ignorant of the general situation, and she also knows that she has caused Wu Hongshan a lot of trouble. If you do something wrong, you will inevitably feel uneasy.
Wu You lowered her head and was ready to be punished. After all, she has had many such experiences. Wu Hongshan has always had only one attitude towards her and Li Ye, and that is to draw a clear line and draw a strict line. limit!
However, the expected thunderous fury did not come. Wu You bowed her head and waited for a long time, but she didn't hear any movement. Wu Hongshan didn't even breathe heavily when she was angry. Wu Hongshan took a look.
It's okay if you don't look at it, but you are stunned when you see Wu You.
Seeing Wu Hongshan holding the floral cloth, he was suddenly absent-minded, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and his eyes were empty, and he didn't know if he saw it wrong. Wu You was surprised to find that there were tears in Wu Hongshan's eyes. It was like seeing something very moving!
"Father..." Wu Hongshan's appearance scared Wu You quite a bit, and he wondered what's wrong, could it be that his father was about to cry
Wu Hongshan was about to cry, he was moved by Wu You, God is pitiful, but fortunately Wu You has always been sincere to Li Ye, even though he has always opposed it, he still persisted, kept his mind and did not give up, fortunately Li Ye He also sincerely treats Wu You, the current situation of the concubine's mansion, this is the possibility of a turnaround!
For the precious turning point brought about by this difficult persistence, Wu Hongshan was so moved that he wanted to cry.
Wu Hongshan realized his gaffe, coughed twice, and pretended to say: "Well... How long has it been since you saw His Highness Wang An?"
"His Royal Highness King An?" Wu You looked bewildered, and the first thing that came to his head was Li Xian, the old King An, because Wu Hongshan never respected Li Ye as King An in private, "Did you mean Brother Ye? Father should know, since I was grounded by you, I have been staying in the mansion all the time, never going out, only that time when Brother Ye came, I saw him once... "
Speaking of this, Wu You's face immediately collapsed. She thought that Wu Hongshan was going to blame her, and she was so wronged that she was about to cry: "Father, I didn't run out in private. I'm not so ignorant. You actually doubted me. ... "
"Doubt you? Why do you doubt you as a father?" Wu Hongshan was a little puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, but he didn't think too much, "Since you haven't seen him for so long, don't you miss him? Don't you want to meet him?"
Wu You's obsidian-like eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, as if he suspected that he had heard wrong.
Wu Hongshan actually asked her if she wanted to see Li Ye
And what's inside and outside the words, are they all meant to encourage
How is this going
Could it be a trap, Wu Hongshan was testing her
"I think the moonlight is pretty good today. Maybe His Royal Highness King An wants to see you too..." Wu Hongshan blushed when he said this, and thought that he was too anxious. How can a father want a daughter? When I went out to meet my lover at night, I coughed twice, "You'd better go tomorrow... see you... right?"
Before Wu Hongshan finished speaking, he just stood there in a daze.
Because Wu You had disappeared in front of him like a gust of wind, and rushed out the door in an instant.
Wu Hongshan's face twisted for a while, it was so exciting.
After a while, he finally let out a long sigh, and whispered to himself: "Don't blame the power of the father, the little people have no choice but to climb up and be a fencer... If given the opportunity, who wouldn't want to stand up to the sky? "
...
It was late, and although the curfew was only on the main street and avenue, and did not restrict people from walking around in the square, there were no pedestrians on the street, and the weeping willows by the small river only swayed gently in the winter night wind.
Li Ye stood with his hands behind his back by the river, and couldn't help but think of the lantern season, when countless men and women gathered by the river and put colorful lanterns into the river, it was always very lively at that time.
"Both of you, there's no need to hide. It's hard work to have been with me for so long. It's cold in the winter night. It's better to finish your work earlier and go home earlier to rest." Li Ye said calmly, looking at the river without turning his head.
On the opposite side of the creek, Song Wentong appeared from the shadows, and Wang Jian had already appeared behind him, his hill-like body showing a large black shadow.
"You discovered us a long time ago?" Wang Jian's deep voice sounded twenty steps behind Li Ye.
Li Ye saw the faces of the two of them clearly, was slightly startled, shook his head and smiled wryly, "I know someone is following me, but I don't know it's the two of you."
He sighed in his heart: "Emperor Jian of Shu, King Li Maozhen of Qi... Liu Xingshen, Han Wenyue, do you know the weight of these two people you sent to assassinate me?"
On the other side of the small river, that handsome, heroic and indistinguishable killer is Qi Wang Li Maozhen!
Of course, he is still called Song Wentong now, and he has not been given a surname by the emperor yet—it was Li Ye himself who gave him the surname Li in his previous life!
Qi Wang Li Maozhen, one of the great princes in the late Tang Dynasty, occupies the Guanzhong land, and is the third most powerful force in Jiangbei besides Liang Emperor Zhu Quanzhong and Jin Wang Li Keyong!
In her previous life, after Li Maozhen became powerful, she once controlled Chang'an and held Li Ye hostage!
Wang Jian, who was behind Li Ye, achieved even greater achievements. After severing the territory of Shu, he directly proclaimed himself emperor and created the former Shu Dynasty! And with the power of a single place in the middle of Shu, Nanzhao's northward invasion was stopped, and Nanzhao was helpless to fight back!
Compared with these two people, Li Ye, who was unable to do anything in his previous life and was forced to commit suicide in the end, is simply a small shrimp.
However, that is the past life.
