Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

"As long as you don't ascend the throne for a day, those troubles will never end. As long as you ascend the throne as the emperor, naturally all troubles will no longer be troubles!" Wang Wenzuo laughed.

"Yes, that's true!" Li Hong sighed: "But Ah Weng is still here, and I am a son of man, how can I seize the throne?"

"You can just let the Emperor be the Supreme Emperor and rest in the Daming Palace!" Wang Wenzuo said: "Actually, this is what the Emperor means when he asks you to supervise the country! It's nothing more than multiple names, but it's not convenient if the name is not correct. You are obviously the prince, but you are To exercise the power of the Emperor, there are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country, but now the Tang Dynasty has two masters. You are not worthy of your name, and this is the real reason why you have so much trouble around you!"

"What about Auntie?"

"Naturally, she will also retreat to the Daming Palace with the emperor to rest!" Wang Wenzuo said: "The queen's use of power is an expedient measure because the emperor is seriously ill and the prince is still young. Now that the prince is strong, has profound virtues, and has returned to China and foreign countries, how can he continue to give in? What is the reason for the queen to govern? I'm just telling you this, if the mountain collapses, will the prince succeed to the throne or the queen will become the emperor?"

"Hahaha!" Li Hong couldn't help laughing when he heard Wang Wenzuo talking about the queen becoming emperor: "Sanlang is talking nonsense again. Is there any reason for a woman to become emperor since ancient times? But I understand what you mean. Indeed, this paragraph Over time, all kinds of chaos inside and outside Chang'an City have been revealed, which is why some people are not in their rightful place. But why didn't you tell me, and you were not willing to tell me until I asked you today?"

"The prince is benevolent and filial, even though he knows that this should be done, he probably can't bear to do it!" Wang Wenzuo said: "Since the prince can't bear to do it, how can I force you? If the prince didn't ask him personally today, no matter how long it takes, the minister will not say anything!"

"You're right, this kind of thing is really not something that a minister can say!" Li Hong sighed: "Then Sanlang, let me ask you, if I agree, how sure are you?"

"How sure?" Wang Wenzuo said with a proud smile: "Your Highness, you should ask me how long it will take to ascend the throne of God! As for the certainty! I can't say it to death, there will always be ninety-five percent!"

"Ninety-five percent?" Li Hong was taken aback: "This, this is not a joke!"

"How dare I make a joke about such a big event?" Wang Wenzuo said solemnly, "The Son of Heaven doesn't care about the holy body. There is no one in the position. The artifact cannot be without an owner. The position cannot be left alone for a long time. The prince is benevolent and wise. The number of Dong Gongxiao's dead is countless, so it's not just a minister, what a minister does is to respond to others, just raise your arms, and naturally responders will gather, so what's the problem?"

Hearing Wang Wenzuo's words, Li Hong's expression changed. Since ancient times, there has never been a prince who didn't want to be an emperor one day earlier. If you are not a minister, it is like being suspended in mid-air with nowhere to fall, and everyone wants to poke you, and if the rope breaks, you will fall to your death, which is extremely uncomfortable.And no one knows when this situation will end. As long as the father does not die, the son will always hang in midair. No one can bear the feeling of not being able to afford a family business.Of course Li Hong is no exception, and besides having a father, he also has a mother who is a hundred times more difficult than his father. His desire to get rid of this state will only be stronger, but this desire has been recognized by Confucianism for many years. Education was suppressed, and this time it was picked up by Wang Wenzuo, which became more and more intense.

"Sanlang, this matter is of great importance, let us think about it further!" Li Hong said in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter!" Wang Wenzuo didn't urge him: "No matter what choice His Highness makes, I will be loyal to His Highness!"

Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall.

"So, are you sure that He Lan Minzhi was wrongly accused?" the queen asked.

"Exactly!" Zhou Xing took out several confessions from his sleeve: "Please look, Your Majesty, this is the confession of the ladies who attended the banquet that night, and six of them admitted that they had a private meeting with Zhou Guogong during the banquet. It's been a long time. Yang Sijian said that Zhou Guogong raped his daughter, but I thought that Zhou Guogong is a steel-framed man. After the banquet, he had a private meeting with six women, and it is very unlikely that he would go to rape Yang Sijian's daughter that night!"

"Bah!" The queen read the above confession, and saw that it was quite detailed, and the details of the private meeting were clearly explained, and there was the woman's fingerprint at the end. She couldn't help but spit, and cursed her nephew for being ridiculous .She was nearly fifty at this time, so of course she knew very well about men and women. He Lanminzhi was already in her late thirties, and she had sex with six women in a row at the banquet, and she was so drunk that she could still run to force her in the middle of the night. Raping Yang Sijian's daughter is simply a god-man.

"You've done a good job, but it's not appropriate to say this kind of thing in public, it's not honorable for the court!" The queen put the confession in her sleeve.

"Your Majesty's words are true, so after I got the confession, I took it out and sent it directly to you without filing it!" Zhou Xing said.

"Since my nephew was killed unjustly, what Yang Sijian and Wang Wenzuo said is a lie!" The queen sneered and said, "Wang Wenzuo has left the city with the prince, so you put Yang Sijian in prison first, and as for Wang Wenzuo, wait until Yang Sijian confesses, and then go to the prison." Take him! He lied to me and the prince, let's see how he gets away with it this time!"

"I obey the order!" Zhou Xing lowered his head, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Yang Sijian has a special status. You'd better not use someone from the Ministry of Punishment, so as not to leak the news! Also, three days to get Yang Sijian's statement, is it enough?"

"That's enough!" Zhou Xing said loudly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

Qunxianfang, Fangxiangsi.

In the summer afternoon in Chang'an, the sky is gloomy, hot and humid air presses on everyone's head, and the cicadas on the trees are not as noisy as usual, and they are silent.Pedestrians on the road quickened their pace, so as to rush home before the heavy rain fell from the sky.

An Wuniang was marinating the rabbit meat for dinner with her Tuyuhun female slave by the stove, while looking worriedly at the sky outside the window. If there was really heavy rain, there would be no guests at night Come on, isn't this rabbit meat wasted in vain?She was hesitating whether to marinate all the rabbit meat in the clay pot, when a person rushed in from the outside, and she took a closer look, it was Chen Qi, and she hurried up to greet him: "Master, why is he so stupid today?" Are you back long ago? Are you alright at Yamen?"

"No, get some water first, there's smoke coming out of your throat! I'm going out soon!"

"Hey, Ah Chun, bring the kettle from the back room! And put the rabbit meat in the pottery bowl on the stove to heat it up, and give it to the master!" Wu Niang dragged a bench from the side and let Chen Qi sit on it. Next, patted the dust on the opponent's shoulder.

"There's no need to heat up the food. I'm leaving right away. There's something urgent in the yamen!" Chen Qi looked at no one around, and said in a low voice, "Go to the king's house right away and send Li Bo and Li Langjun a message." The message said that Zhou Xing got the queen's order and was going to get Yang Sijian soon!"

"Send a message!" An Wuniang was taken aback: "Then what should I do when I go to the store for business? Isn't Li Langjun coming to the store in a day or two? Then I told him it would be done?"

"Time is running out. If I wait for Li Langjun to come, I'm afraid it will be a waste of time!" Chen Qi took the water bottle from the female slave and took a big gulp: "You go right away, remember, Zhou Xing has the queen's order to arrest him." Yang Sijian!" After saying that, he put down the kettle and walked out the door.

"Hey, master!" An Wuniang followed out the door, just about to shout twice, but she saw that Chen Qi had already walked and ran far away. She paused, thought for a while and said to her slave girl: " I have something to go out for a while, you close the door first, and the business will be discussed when I come back!" ————————————————————————

Wangfu.

"What? Zhou Xing got the queen's order to arrest Yang Sijian?" Cui Hongdu was taken aback: "Is this true?"

"The head of my family works as an errand at the Wannian County Yamen. He just came back to the store and said that he had a drink of water and left!" An Wuniang said: "Originally, Li Bo and Li Langjun would come to the store every two days to listen to his messages. The head of the family Said that this matter cannot be delayed, so I asked my concubine to come to your mansion immediately, and the business in the store was ignored!"

"You did a good job!" Cui Hongdu had already heard what An Wuniang meant, and said with a smile, "Come here, take twenty coins to reward her. Wuniang, if you have any important news, please send it as soon as possible. I will never wait." Let you suffer!"

"Thank you, Mr. Cui Lang!" An Wuniang hurriedly bowed her knees, and stepped back after receiving the reward.As soon as she left, Cui Hongdu's expression became serious. Although he didn't know what happened that night, he also knew what Zhou Xing meant by taking Yang Sijian. Get out of town immediately."

Late at night, Weibei camp.

Prince Li Hong was lying on the couch with his eyes slightly closed, and there was the sound of rustling rain outside the tent.The words Wang Wenzuo said to himself not long ago are still lingering in his ears, making him unable to sleep.After analyzing all the pros and cons, Wang Wenzuo returned the final decision to himself, which made him feel extremely heavy on his shoulders.He has never made such an important decision in his life. Not only his own life, but also the fate of the people around him, and even the entire empire depend on his words.He rolled over, but it only made him feel more uncomfortable, and finally he sat up on the couch, intending to go outside to get some air.

"Your Highness!"

Li Hong thought it might be his auditory hallucinations, but in the next second he confirmed that he heard correctly: "Is it Sanlang? What's the matter?"

"Chang'an has urgent news!"

"Then come in and talk!" Li Hong couldn't help letting out a long breath inwardly, no longer having to face and bear everything alone.

The curtain at the entrance of the tent was lifted, and the prince was surprised to see Wang Wenzuo in armor. He hadn't seen Wang Wenzuo dressed like this for a long time. He suddenly realized what he was about to face, and his body couldn't help trembling slightly: "What is there in Chang'an?" misfortune?"

Wang Wenzuo nodded, and said in a low voice: "This is an urgent matter, Your Highness, please hold back!"

The crown prince waved his hand and asked the two eunuchs in the tent to retreat. He took a deep breath and calmed down his mind as much as possible: "Tell me, what happened?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, I originally placed a few secret agents by Zhou Xing's side for emergency! Yesterday evening, my subordinates who stayed in the city got the news that the queen had ordered Zhou Xing to put Si Wei Shaoqing Yang Sijian in prison! After learning about it, I went out of the city overnight and went to Weibei Hunting Garden to inform the minister, and the minister came to see His Highness after learning about it, and asked for instructions on how to proceed!"

"Mother ordered Zhou Xing to imprison Duke Yang? This, why?" The prince was completely confused, his mind was in a mess, and he looked at Wang Wenzuo for help.

"It can only be because of He Lan Minzhi's matter!" Wang Wenzuo said: "It can only be because of this, and there is no other reason!"

"Yes, yes, it must be because of this!" The prince also came back to his senses, and said with a stamp of his feet: "How could mother do this? Although He Lanminzhi was killed by Duke Yang, there was a reason for the incident. How can I take revenge? Tell your mother to let her go immediately!"

"Your Highness, I'm afraid things are not as simple as you think!" Wang Wenzuo said.

"What do you mean?"

"Your Highness, of course the Empress knows that because of Duke Yang's daughter, you are actually sorry for Duke Yang! If you let Zhou Xing take the man, what good would it do if you let him go after you go back? The Empress would not do such a thing. What kind of thing, and why did the empress not let Zhou Xing take people early, and why did Zhou Xing not let Zhou Xing take people later, but why did you want to take people when you were not in Chang'an City? Do you think this is a coincidence?"

"San Lang means that the mother has other plans?" the prince asked.

"That's right, and I think the queen wants to get something from Duke Yang. With this, the queen can decide the overall situation. Even you can only accept it and cannot change it!"

"What do you get from Mr. Yang? I can only accept it and cannot change it?" The prince frowned, confused by Wang Wenzuo's words. He was already the prince and was ordered to supervise the country. What could he do in the Tang Dynasty that would allow him to just What if you can accept it but cannot change it?
"I can only accept it, but I can't change it?" The prince frowned, puzzled by Wang Wenzuo's words: "But the widow is already the prince, and I have been ordered to supervise the country!"

"What if you are no longer the prince?" Wang Wenzuo sneered.

"I'm no longer the prince?" The prince's eyes widened and he trembled: "How is this possible?"

"Is there any other explanation besides this?" Wang Wenzuo asked: "If the queen is sure to deal with Yang Sijian, why didn't she wait for you to return to the city and show the certificate in her hand before taking Yang Sijian? Do you do it when you are not in the city?"

The prince's expression changed from surprise to despair, from despair to indifference, and finally he sighed: "Sanlang, what do you think should be done now?"

"Your Highness should know my answer!" Wang Wenzuo said.

"Go back to the city and raise your troops to become emperor?" The prince smiled wryly, "Then if the widow refuses, what will you do, Saburo?"

Wang Wenzuo bowed his knees and bowed twice: "God met His Highness with a minister, and Meng Daen served his life with death. Disaster is about to happen, but His Highness still doesn't think it is worrying. His Highness is self-deprecating, just like the ancestral temple! Your Highness does not use Wenzuo's words." It is said that the minister will change his appearance and flee into the grass, so he cannot stay around His Highness, and he will be slaughtered with his neck stretched!"
