Chapter 95 The Truth
"Plum blossom inner guard? Third uncle, are you joking, we are inner guards!"

"It's different, the inner guard of the plum blossom is completely subordinate to the saint!"

"We are also subordinate to the saints. We don't need to go through the three provinces of officials for promotion!"

"Oh, why don't you understand that the Plum Blossom Guard is used to monitor the ministers, including us!"

When Qiu Ying couldn't explain it no matter what she did, and told the truth angrily, Qiu Shenji was stunned.

He was stunned for a while, and then tremblingly said: "Is it the one from the former Zhao Guogong? Didn't the saint abolish the internal guards at that time more than ten years ago?"

Qiu Ying saw that there were only two uncles and nephews present, so she put them down: "Not all of them were abolished, and there is still a team of inner guards who are responsible for monitoring the movements of the officials in the court, named Meihua inner guards."

Qiu Shenji was puzzled: "If Rong Niang is the inner guard of Plum Blossom, then she is one of her own, so why did she want to harm me? No, she is the murderer... Could it be that..."

He couldn't go on, and his expression became frightened.

Qiu Ying's face was also very ugly: "This matter is difficult, why did you directly arrest her to the Qiu Mansion?"

Qiu Shenji cried: "I thought she was a spy from the enemy country who sneaked into Chang'an to sow discord with the higher-ups. I wanted to ask for a piece of information first, and Liu Lang also allowed me to take revenge. How did you know that she belonged to the inner guard of Meihua? Third uncle, I don't know." Are you going to go to jail again?"

Qiu Ying was silent for a moment: "Probably... no way!"

"Don't use such suspicious pauses!"

Qiu Shenji really cried.

Who can be worse than him!

Counting the death of Tubo Nianzheng envoy, he was imprisoned in the Liangzhou post house, and he immediately entered and exited three times!

No, there may not be a third one yet!

Qiu Ying's heart was also very cold at this time.

He suddenly understood why he knew that Qiu Shenji had caused trouble, and when he went to the palace to meet Li Zhi, he couldn't see that saint at all.

If behind this incident, there is the participation of the inner guard of the plum blossom, then the sage will naturally wait for the incident to become a big deal.

And if it wasn't for Li Yan's dedication to protect Qiu Shenji, his nephew would have become a victim of the game!

The next generation of the Qiu family, but Qiu Shenji is the only one who has become a master!
Qiu Ying felt cold all over, and her back became more and more bent.

But looking at her nephew, whose nose was red from crying, and who looked like he was in a daze, Qiu Ying forcibly pulled herself together, stood up, and straightened her back: "Let's go, let's go and see the plum blossom inner guard. "

In the firewood room in the backyard, Rong Niang was using her strength to heal her wounds. After hearing footsteps, she opened her eyes, looked at Qiu Ying with gray temples, and said coldly, "Leader Qiu Ge, please forgive me for not being able to salute!"

Qiu Ying stepped forward and looked at the imprint on her arm. The plum blossom was soaked in blood, and it became more poignant and gorgeous. She sighed, and untied the rope by herself, and then bowed heavily: "I My nephew is impulsive and bad, please forgive me, my wife!"

Rong Niang fell to the ground, snorted coldly, but touched the wound again, grinned at the corner of her lips, and stared at Qiu Shenji with hatred.

But after a while, she said, "Qiu Shenji, I did put you in prison, and today it fell into your hands. The three lashes will be paid off. You and I owe nothing!"

Qiu Shenji hurriedly said as if he had been pardoned, "Yes! Yes!"

Qiu Ying didn't expect Rong Niang to be easy to talk to, so she cupped her hands and said, "Thank you!"

Rong Niang raised her head, walked out slowly, and disappeared at the back door of the Qiu Mansion.

Seeing her back, Qiu Shenji was inexplicably envious.

This is much more majestic than the inside guard.

However, when he thought that this kind of internal guard with plum blossoms would be completely invisible at ordinary times, and once exposed, it would trigger the unanimous rejection of all officials, Qiu Shenji also stopped thinking.

Qiu Ying looked at the blood on the ground and sighed: "After all, there is a result, let's go back!"

Qiu Shenji nodded, and suddenly said, "No way, what should I explain to Liu Lang?"

He told Qiu Ying the whole process of arresting Rongniang, and said with a mournful face, "Liulang also sent Wang Xiaojie to help me arrest people for revenge. How can I explain to him now?"

"Yuan Fang treated you well, and is willing to give you the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Others don't care whether you want to take revenge or not. It's a pity... Sigh!"

Thinking about this nephew's bad luck, Qiu Ying sighed again: "Well, I'll go and explain to Yuan Fang that my body is getting worse and worse. You can follow him well in the future, don't be half-hearted, and use Yuan Fang's Being a man of righteousness, I will not abandon you."

That's actually what Qiu Shenji thought. He almost gave up on Qiu Ying in Liangzhou, but he didn't expect that he would give Qiu Ying more energy later on.

Looking at Qiu Ying's white hair at this moment, he nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, Third Uncle will go and explain clearly to Liu Lang, and he will give me another chance in the future!"

……

"Uncle Qiu, why are you here in person? If you need anything, just send someone to tell you."

Li Yan greeted Duke Wei's mansion, received Qiu Ying in the shackle room, and the two walked into the mansion.

"It's good that you haven't slept. I have something I want to tell you."

The two came to the reception room, and seeing Li Yanping retreating from the others, Qiu Ying slowly recounted what happened just now.

"Plum Blossom Guard?!"

Although Li Yan had some guesses in his mind, his expression changed after hearing this.

This organization was not born in the Wu Zhou period, but in the Gaozong period?

His first reaction was that fortunately the Duke of Wei's mansion had declined.

The inner guards of Plum Blossom wanted to focus on either powerful relatives like Zhou Guogong's mansion, or prominent noble families like Dou's family, and Li Dejian, who was dying of old age in Weiguo Duke's mansion, had a few idle jobs and six ranks, so he didn't like it at all.

It is really a blessing in disguise.

But after having him, you have to pay attention to the comings and goings of the people in the house.

After shaking off some fear, Li Yan began to ask: "The reason why the sage left the inner guard of plum blossoms is to worry that someone will follow the story of the former Duke of Zhao. Wu Minzhi is also a foreign relative, and he became surly and crazy, cultivating party members. The sage has already prepared to attack him. ?”

Qiu Ying nodded: "Yes, this is also related to the promotion of Wu Minzhi to the official position of Tianhou. She wants Wu Minzhi to lead the Twelve Guards to inspect the Yulin soldiers and gradually control the North Gate Forbidden Army. This is something that a saint cannot allow." of."

Li Yan frowned: "Does it need to be so troublesome? He is a saint, and Wu Minzhi will be taken down as soon as he is ordered?"

Qiu Ying smiled wryly: "Yuan Fang, you don't know much about political affairs. Wu Minzhi is Tianhou's nephew, who continues Wu's family incense, and is the only relative, and Tianhou's right to participate in the government is given by the sage. If he directly Wu Min's attack is equivalent to breaking his own arm, and he will be taken advantage of by the officials."

In fact, when Li Yan asked, he knew that his words were naive.

Is the emperor supreme?
Of course, but it must be supreme under the operation of the feudal system that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Without the aura bestowed by the system, he is just an ordinary person. If he is cut off with a knife, his life will still be the same?

Since it operates within the system, the emperor's power seems to be omnipotent, but in fact there are many constraints.

Especially in the Tang Dynasty, when the influence of the noble family was still very deep-rooted, officials from all major surnames secretly competed with the emperor for power all the time.

How to subtly suppress the officials within the rules and let the imperial power gain the greatest influence is what a monarch needs to do.

If Li Zhi wants to win Wu Minzhi, he must have an aboveboard reason.

But Li Yan still didn't understand something.

When the former Crown Princess Yang committed suicide by jumping into the lake, Li Zhi should have seen how daring this son was.

With Wu Minzhi's surly personality, it would be a disaster to stay sooner or later. It was completely logical to get rid of him at that time, why wait until now?

He looked at Qiu Ying and said in a low voice, "Uncle Qiu, I have something very important, and I want to ask you for advice..."

Qiu Ying said: "Don't worry, there are no outsiders here, and I have told you everything about the Plum Blossom Internal Guard, so what else is there to worry about?"

Li Yandao: "When I was in Zhou Guogong's mansion, when Wu Minzhi was mad at the end, I said some nonsense. I didn't believe it at first. Later, when the prince came to the door and sternly slammed me, I thought it might be true. It was about the former prince. Concubine Yang's..."

After listening to Li Yan's narration, Qiu Ying also gasped, feeling unbelievable: "There is such a thing? Wu Minzhi is crazy, even the princess dared to..."

"He's really crazy now~"

Li Yan was very satisfied with his masterpiece, and then asked: "At that time, Wu Minzhi was already a relative, and he committed such evil things, why didn't the saint do it, Mrs. Rong Guo certainly couldn't stop it!"

Qiu Ying thought for a moment, her face turned pale, and she said in a low voice, "Just because Wu Minzhi committed such a sin that must die, the sage will keep him..."

Li Yan's pupils shrank suddenly, thinking of the proud appearance of Wu Minzhi giving orders when he visited Duke Zhou's mansion that night, it was like waking up from a dream.

That's right, since Wu Minzhi committed that crime, he is dead, the difference is that he died sooner and later.

In Li Zhi's eyes, such a person who can legitimately control his life and death is the most suitable relative.

And Wu Minzhi thought that relying on Mrs. Rongguo's favor, seeing that the ex-prince and concubine was safe and sound after being bullied, he became more and more unscrupulous, but he didn't know that he was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

When his power swelled to a dangerous level, Li Zhi felt that he could no longer be kept, so he turned over the old accounts and dealt with them logically.

"I understand the haunting incident in the womb, what is the last truth that I haven't seen through yet!"

"Ming Chongyan!"

"Ming Chongyan is the internal guard of Plum Blossom, he is Li Zhi's man!"

I still remember that in Zhou Guogong's mansion, Ming Chongyan cooperated with him in the sparring, as if he was not afraid of offending Wu Minzhi at all, Li Yan felt a little weird at that time.

Because the Taoist priest he knew was a follower of power in history, and he was not a decent person at all. How did he come here, and he became immortal and fearless of power.

Later, Kumara was attacked by Ming Chongyan and was seriously injured. Li Yan thought it was sent by the prince and wanted to kill people to silence him. Only then did he realize that Ming Chongyan was also secretly watching Zhou Guogong's mansion, so he could follow all the way and suddenly acted. hot hand.

Of course, this is the influence exerted by Li Yan.

If he hadn't entered Chang'an, Ming Chongyan would have been ordered by Li Zhi to cooperate with the prince to summon the soul of the Yang family, tell the grievances of the year, and expose the scandal.

At the same time, the inner guard of Meihua will find some troubles for Wu Minzhi. Anyway, the evil slaves under his command cause trouble all day long. Qiu Shenji's encounter will not be the first, let alone the last. Just detonate.

When the time comes, Li Zhi will deal with Wu Minzhi logically.

Not to mention being in charge of the Forbidden Army at the North Gate, he was directly dispatched to Lingnan, strangled to death with a horse rope!

As for his henchmen, those who are willing to join him with all their hearts have a reason, and those who have two hearts will commit crimes and be married together.

This is the original process.

The one who wants to kill Wu Minzhi is the emperor from the beginning to the end!
Li Yan clarified the truth, but Qiu Ying felt a little regretful when he saw his face getting more and more ugly, and said in a low voice: "Yuan Fang, a saint is a saint after all..."

Li Yan knew that loyalty to the emperor was always deeply rooted in Qiu Ying's heart, so he reluctantly held back, nodded and said: "The source of this matter is that the former Zhao Guogong's relatives controlled the government and made the saints jealous for a long time, so that's the case."

These words touched Qiu Ying's heart, and he immediately revealed a look of extreme disgust: "Yes, Changsun Wuji did not become a courtier, and that's why he forced the originally pure and filial saint to his present state!"

Li Yan really didn't want to say such words against his will, and chatted with Qiu Ying a few more times, promising not to pay any attention to the matter of Meihua's internal guard, and send him away.

After returning to the backyard, Li Yan looked towards the Daming Palace to the north.

In the Shaoyang Courtyard, the prince was cheering up, ready to fight to the end with Empress Wu, and seek justice for the father and daughter of the Yang family who died of injustice.

Inside the Zichen Hall, there is a figure in a yellow robe and a figure in a high bun. The two saints are sitting upright, their eyes are high above, as if they can overlook all living beings.

"Pooh!!"

Thinking of the so-called love these parents had for the sick and weak prince in the past, Li Yan spat hard on the ground.

Disgusting!nausea! !
