At curfew time, the best restaurant in Chang'an City, 'Zhaixinglou', was still lit.

On the third floor, Xue Wei took the main seat and invited four important guests. They are: Xiao Yuanzhao, Minister of Rites, Dai Youde, Minister of Household Affairs, Zhang Cang, Minister of Zhongshu, and Li Song, Minister of Political Affairs!
Any random one out of the four would be Xue Yi's immediate superior, but they were willing to separate to take the second place, but Xue Yi followed suit.

After drinking for three rounds, Xue Yi spoke first and went straight to the point:

"Everyone is called here tonight, it's about tomorrow's court meeting, if you have anything to say, feel free to speak up!"

Dai Youde, Minister of the Household Department stroked his beard, and said with a radiant smile, "The death of the demon queen's mother is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I just wait for Xue Hou's decision on this side!"

Xue Wei nodded, and looked at Xiao Yuanzhao, Minister of Rites: "Servant Xiao, Minister of Rites belongs to the Demon Queen, you can be sure to suppress her tomorrow."

With all the confidence in his mind, Xiao Yuan replied confidently:
"Don't worry Xue Hou, my Tang Dynasty governs the country with filial piety. Since the Demon Empress respects filial piety, then tomorrow's lowly position will play on it, and she will be expelled from the court!"

Xue Wei frowned slightly, and reminded him: "The demon queen is cunning and cunning, and waiter Xiao must not underestimate the enemy until the last moment!"

"Yes, I understand!" Xiao Shilang cupped his hands!

Xue Wei cast his eyes on the stern-looking Zhongshu servant Zhang Cang again: "What worries does Zhang Shilang have? Just say it!"

Zhang Cang put down his wine glass, scanned the crowd, and said in a deep voice:

"Although the current situation is favorable to us, who can guarantee that the Demon Queen will not make a comeback? With His Majesty's reliance on the Demon Queen, I am afraid that the court will fall into the hands of the Demon Queen in less than three years. Don't forget, everyone, Shangguanyi is a lesson from the past."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into silence!
It is true that if Empress Wu moves out Li Zhi's life-saving talisman, then no one can shake her in the slightest.

Seeing that several people were a little frustrated, Xue Wei spoke to comfort him:
"You don't have to worry, the Demon Empress is going to the Eastern Capital to go to the funeral. It is a foregone conclusion. Just let her leave the court for a few months, and we will wipe out all her followers!"

Li Song, who hadn't spoken for a long time, sighed in anticipation:
"The demon queen has many followers and occupies important positions. If she doesn't deal with it well, it's hard to guarantee that she won't be revived. If you want to remove the demon queen's power once and for all, you have to find someone to take over her power. But look at the entire court, except for Your Majesty, who else can snatch food from the demon queen's mouth?"

After saying this, everyone fell into silence again.

Xue Yi simply stopped hiding his clumsiness, and said frankly: "There is one person who can compete with the Demon Empress!"

"Who?" Everyone looked at Xue Yi!
Xue Wei picked up the wine glass calmly: "Who else, of course the one from the East Palace!"

Prince? ?Everyone was shocked!
Indeed, the only person who can counter Empress Wu and take over her power logically is Prince Li Hong.

"That being said, the crown prince has been in bed for a long time, and it is difficult to recover from serious illnesses, so how can he take on this important task?" Zhang Cang asked puzzled.

The corner of Xue Yi's mouth twitched, and he asked back: "Who said the prince...is really sick?"

As soon as these words came out, the four of them were shocked. If it was true that the prince was pretending to be ill, as Xue Yi said, then the situation would be even more favorable.

At that moment, the four of them were completely relieved, and after several discussions, they took their leave and left.

Xue Yi straightened his sleeves and strolled up to the fourth floor!

In the hall on the fourth floor, Xue Shao sat alone under the screen drinking tea and reading a book.

Seeing Xue Wei coming up, Xue Shao put down his book and complained to his brother:

"I told you not to spread the word. It's good for you, but you want to tell everything. If the news leaks out, then the previous plan will be in vain!"

Xue Wei curled his lips, and said indifferently: "Anyway, after tonight, what you should know and what you shouldn't know are not important anymore!"

As he spoke, he changed the subject, "I said Erlang, are you so sure that the Demon Empress will stay in Dongdu?"

Xue Shao nodded, then shook his head again: "If I were her, in order to stop Youyou's mouth, I would definitely go to Dongdu, but whether I will stay or not depends on whether there are any variables in the middle!"
