Duke Lu's Mansion.

I saw that the hall was full of people, and these people were all senior generals of the Sixteen Guards.

"General, now the group of people under the Grand Master are standing on His Majesty's side. Should we also speak up for His Majesty?"

"General, if we don't make a sound, it would be too late."

"General, this matter is no longer a dispute over the abolishment of the queen, we cannot sit idly by."

Now everyone has understood this situation. Now Li Zhi has gained the support of most people. In addition, he is the emperor and the neutral Cheng Yaojin faction, and he has also begun to be anxious and feels that he should speak out to show his loyalty.

Cheng Yaojin glared at the tiger's eyes and said, "What are you doing? Ours are soldiers. The duty of a soldier is to defend the country. Apart from that, the rest of the matter has nothing to do with us."

"But the general—!"

"Nothing, but just go back and do your own business."

"Yes. Will be resigned."

The old general showed his power, so they naturally did not dare to say more. They stood up and clasped their fists, and then walked out.

After they left, Cheng Yaojin sat alone on the chair, with his head hanging down, making people sigh that the hero was old.

At this time, an old woman walked in. Although her temples were already white, her temperament was still there. This woman was Cheng Yaojin's second wife, and she was from the Cui family of Qinghe.

Cheng Yaojin raised his head, looked at his wife, and smiled bitterly, "But it will make you suffer." As he said that, he sighed, "I think among the old ministers of the Qin Palace, there are only auxiliary machines left, I and Jingde. I really can't do anything to put down the wrongs at this time."

Cui gently held Cheng Yaojin's old hand full of cocoons and smiled and said, "Husband, you did a very right job. Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness are in a dilemma, but behind this is greed for life and fear of death. Even if a real man dies, he will be worthy of heaven and earth."

The Duke of E.

"Ahem! Quansheng, the master is going to go into seclusion recently to refine alchemy. No matter who comes to ask for a meeting, he will not see him."

Yuchi Jingde, who had a pale hair, stood and ordered the butler Quansheng.

Quansheng was stunned for a moment and said, "What if it were General Song and the others?"

"Don't you understand me, no one is seen." Yuchi Jingde glanced slightly.

"Yes, the villain understands."

Yuchi Jingde nodded and then entered the room. As soon as the door was closed, he couldn't help but sigh, wiped his eyes, and sighed: "Auxiliary machine! You are so smart and confused for a while!"

I think of how powerful the old generals of the Qin Palace were, including famous generals such as Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan, and famous ministers such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian, and Changsun Wuji. Whether it was the unification of the world or the Xuanwu Gate, the Zhenguan rule was all out of their hands, but now, there are only three of them left. Although there are many noises between each other, this decades of friendship is really irreplaceable.

They have become spirits at this age. Can't they see the current situation clearly? But Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde are both military generals, and military generals value love. They would rather pretend to be confused than to fall into trouble with Changsun Wuji.

Sikong Mansion.

Li Ji finally moved from outside the city to the city.

Li Bi walked in from outside and saw that Li Ji was still lowering his eyebrows and pondering, so he whispered: "Brother!"

Li Ji was stunned, looked up at Li Bi, and said, "You are back."

Li Bi said: "Brother, what are you thinking?"

"nothing."

Li Ji shook his head and said, "How is the situation of the imperial guard?"

Li Bi said: "Most generals have already stood on Your Majesty's side, but only."

Speaking of this, he wanted to speak but stopped.

Li Jidao: "Did Duke Lu and Duke E not speak out?"

Li Bi nodded and said, "Actually, Duke E withdrew from the army early, and his influence was not very big, but Duke Lu was different. When His Majesty ascended the throne, Duke Lu led his soldiers to guard Chang'an for several months in order to protect His Majesty's success in ascending the throne. In the imperial guards in the capital, Duke Lu had a great influence. Even at most, we can only say that he is equal to his, unless people are transferred from the border."

Li Ji glared and said, "Duke Lu has experienced many battles and is both brave and brave. He is a hero. I believe he will not do such a fool?"

Li Bi said: "Duke Lu and the Taiwei have a close friendship. This matter is of great importance. We must not be careful!"

Li Ji frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "The guards of the imperial city are left to Xue Rengui. You can go find Yang Sine and let him and our people defend the outer city, and send some people to secretly monitor Duke Lu. In addition, Gao Changda, who is transferred from Taiyuan, is stationed in Longyou."

Li Bi said curiously: "Why should Gao Changda be stationed in Longyou?"

Li Ji sighed, "The governor of Suzhou, Wang Fangyi, is the cousin of Empress Wang. He is brave and good at fighting, both civil and military. If he can pass this level, he will become a great man in the future. I don't want my Tang Dynasty to lose this famous general. So you must remember that they are all meritorious people in the Tang Dynasty, and they are very capable. Our Tang Dynasty needs them, so don't let them notice it, so as not to chill their hearts."

Li Bi said: "Yes, I understand."

Gaojiapo!

Zheng Shanxing is a person with a beginning and an end. He helped the people here sow the seeds of hope, and today he brought people to help the villagers here harvest fruitful results.

"I didn't expect things to turn out like this!"

Wang Xuandao looked at the golden wheat and suddenly sighed softly.

Lu Shigua smiled and said, "Did you not expect it or do you regret not being as active as Han Yi?"

Wang Xuandao shook his head and said, "Actually, I have thought about it, but Queen Wang is my clan's sister, and I really can't do it."

Zheng Shanxing sighed: "I have said a long time ago that we playboys are not suitable for the court. Now that things have come to this point, it is useless to think too much."

Mr. Lu said with a hell: "It seems that we are destined to be mediocre in this life."

Wang Xuan said: "That may not be necessary. Isn't Han Yi still there? He needs our help."

Zheng Shanxing and Lu Shi Gua were silent after hearing it

Daxingshan Temple.

"Dad, this place is so simple, you'd better go back and live."

Cui Jieren said to Cui Pingzhong with a hint of pleading.

Cui Pingzhong smiled and said, "Dad appreciates your filial piety, but Dad is really afraid that your uncle and the others will come to my house every few days to teach me a lesson. Forget it, forget it, forget it, just come and visit my dad occasionally."

Cui Jieren looked disappointed and said, "Now uncle and the others have no time to teach their father a lesson."

Cui Pingzhong said, "I won't be fooled by you. This is just temporary. Moreover, your uncles and uncles don't like dad, so why bother yourself?"

"Then it's up to Daddy."

Cui Jieren nodded helplessly and asked again: "I wonder what Dad thinks about this?"

Cui Pingzhong said: "What's the matter?"

Cui Jieren said embarrassedly: "It's just a matter of abolishing the queen."

Cui Pingzhong seemed a little hesitant.

Cui Jieren immediately said: "Dad, the child has grown up and will not be so easily affected by others. The child just wants to hear what his father thinks."

Cui Pingzhong glanced at Cui Jieren and sighed: "In Daddy's opinion, in this battle, there are no winners, only losers."

Cui Jieren frowned and said, "What do you say about Dad?"

Cui Pingzhong said: "Since ancient times, imperial power and ministerial power have always been opposite. For this reason, the monarch has been constantly weakening the ministerial power. However, in this way, no one can limit the monarch anymore. The rise and fall of the entire country depends on the will of the monarch alone. If the monarch is wise, the country will prosper. If the monarch is stupid, the country will decline. In this way, the country will be difficult to prosper. If the minister can slightly limit the monarch's power, it may be a good thing. However, the minister's power is too great. If the imperial power is undermined, the country will cause chaos. Unfortunately, few wise monarchs can well balance the imperial power and ministerial power, because most of them are selfish."

Cui Jieren nodded and said, "Dad said it very well. Since ancient times, the wise rulers have all had a group of capable wise ministers. The reason why wise ministers can be remembered for generations is mainly because the monarch is willing to follow their suggestions. Otherwise, no matter how capable and talented people are, they will only become unknown. This is what we often say, even a thousand-mile horse cannot lack a man."

Cui Pingzhong smiled and said, "You said you have grown up."

Cui Jiebian said: "But what you said makes sense. Those foolish monarchs in history always find it difficult to escape the infamy of arbitrary tyranny."

Cui Pingzhong said: "Only ignorant people can reason, because everyone can tell the truth. A truly smart person can adapt to the situation. The Taiwei thought so in his heart. He must think that all he did is for the good of His Majesty and the good of the Tang Dynasty, but is it really the case? Or because of the power, he may not know it himself. If you become an official in the future, you must learn to compromise and never rush around like you did back then. This will only bring disaster to killing and will not change anything, just like your elder sister. As for the same sentence, a smart person must be a living person."

Cui Jieren frowned and nodded, and said, "Why do dad think the Grand Marshal will lose?"

Cui Pingzhong nodded.

Cui Jie said: "But the Taiwei has been the prime minister for thirty years, and the Taiwei has not tried his best from beginning to end."

Cui Pingzhong smiled and said, "You are right. The Taiwei really hides a lot of power. How can a smart person like the Taiwei be exposed to everyone? If he really decides to burn his boat and fight to the death, the outcome is indeed unknown, but unfortunately, he and His Majesty have the blood of the Changsun clan flowing on both sides, and in the royal family, His Majesty is the only one who inherits the Changsun blood."

There is a wooden house behind a very quiet rockery in Taiwei Mansion. There is only one spirit platform in the house. There is a spirit sign on the spirit platform, and blue smoke surrounds it.

Changsun Wuji sat cross-legged on the paving base, his eyes slightly closed.

After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the spirit card on the spirit stage, and sighed: "Sister, what do you think you should do?"

This is the spiritual card of the virtuous queen Changsun.
