But the two saints did have a deep relationship, and Gaozong had great trust in the queen.

Don't look at the fact that all the veterans of the court now insist that they were once loyal ministers of the Great Qian Dynasty. It can be said that during the reign of the Great Qian Dynasty, there were not many shortcomings in the court. Queen Wei helped Gaozong settle many of the old merits of the founding officials.

group.

The two saints joined forces, but unfortunately, the former died early and the latter lived a long life...

Sometimes power pushes people forward.

In the words of a junior sister who is a Qi practitioner, this is called alienation.

No matter what, my parents were so loving in the past, and my brothers and sisters, including Lixian, Changle, and Lilun, were influenced by them, so they naturally attached great importance to family affection.

So even now, Li Xian's feelings for Empress Wei Zhao are very complicated...

Only the old canon of "Zheng Bo Duan Yu Yan" mentioned by Ouyang Rong can be explored.

The affairs of the emperor's family are so strange.

Ouyang Rong knew very well that his identity was just that of a counselor. No matter how close he got to him, he never forgot his identity.

So when we talked about the Prime Minister just now, he didn't interrupt.

It wasn't until Dalang spoke that Ouyang Rong expressed his stance as usual and stood by him.

Back at Yinbingzhai, Ouyang Rong didn't read a book. It was rare for him to go to bed early tonight.

In recent days, he has been so busy during the day that he sleeps a little deeply at night.

Before going to bed, Ye Weilai was still reading a book while Ouyang Rong ignored her.

Just like that, he drifted off to sleep. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt his arm being shaken forcefully, and Ouyang Rong immediately woke up.

Turn around and look.

It was Ye Weilai's worried face, and in front of the bed in the back room, there was a figure in red clothes pacing.

It's my junior sister.

"Tanlang, please wake up. Sister Xie is back. I have something urgent to tell you..."

"What happened over there?"

Ouyang Rong suddenly lost his sleepiness and quickly rolled out of bed. He didn't even have time to put on his coat. He grabbed the catkins of the beautiful woman who had just returned from the bed. He looked up and down and found that there was no injury. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Elder brother, I...I'm fine."

Xie Lingjiang's tone was helpless, but Ouyang Rong noticed that the look on her pretty face was a little strange.

He couldn't help but frown.

I thought it was an urgent matter of defeat, but looking at the little junior sister's expression... there was something indescribably weird.

"What happened?"

"Wang Lengran...he seems to have won."

"Ah?" Ouyang Rong was slightly stunned, "Win? How do you win?"

“Win big, win big.”

Ouyang Rong wrinkled his head even more.

Xie Lingjiang took the water glass handed by Ye Weilai, raised his head and took a sip, took a deep breath, and finished:

"That Zhu Lingxu turned against him midway, helped Wang Lengran, and besieged Cai Qin's army one after another!

"Originally Cai Qin ambushed Wang Lengran's reinforcements halfway up the Guling Mountains, but under the leadership of Zhu Lingxu, the besieged Hongzhou soldiers stopped the siege and released guard Zhao Rushi's army, allowing them to attack and attack Cai Qin's army front and rear.

…

"Then there was a great victory. Cai Qin led hundreds of cavalry and was defeated. The ships were burned by General Qin, and the river was filled with ashes and wreckage...Wang Lengran is now chasing and defeating the enemy invaders..."

Xie Lingjiang preached with a complicated expression.

"Can this still happen?"

Ouyang Rong was speechless.

I really didn’t expect this time, not that I didn’t expect to win, but that I didn’t expect such a way to win.

He had calculated countless situations before, and even started to take precautions against the possibility of Wang Lengran's surrender, but now it seems that he found that he had missed one thing.

That is the lower limit of human shamelessness.

"Zhu Lingxu...ha."

On the afternoon of the second day, news of Wang Lengran's victory came.

The whole city cheered.

However, Ouyang Rong and Prince Xunyang's feelings were a bit complicated, and they didn't know what to say.

But in general, the siege of Jiangzhou has been temporarily lifted, which is good for everyone.

At least until Li Zhengyan's revival army has not advanced to Hongzhou, Jiangzhou has no worries for the time being.

Even Cai Qin and others who escaped may not even be able to defend Hongzhou City after they return. Of course, these are all things for later...

Three days later.

In the morning when the sun was shining brightly, Wang Lengran led his army back from a great victory, and Zhu Lingxu and his son followed him into the city.

Wang Lengran rode at the front, his old face beaming with joy.

Followed by Zhu Lingxu and his son, who had abandoned the dark and turned to the light, their faces were solemn and there was no trace of complacency, especially the eldest son Zhu Yuheng, who kept his head down the whole time.

Zhu Lingxu, the former governor of Hongzhou, was more calm.

Ouyang Rong stood at the top of the city with everyone. He looked at Governor Zhu with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who was slowly approaching the city gate, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

You Zhu Lingxu, you are a slave of the third surname, right?

First he hugged Prince Teng's thigh, then he surrendered to Cai Qin, responded to Li Zhengyan's call for restoration, and now he turned against the Wei family and "abandoned darkness to the light."

Ouyang Rong shook his head, patted his sleeves, and went down to the city to greet him.

The reason is already very clear. It is clearly Zhu Lingxu who has been hooking up with the Wei family for a long time.

It seems that when they were in Hongzhou, they were basically forced to surrender. They were greedy for life and afraid of death, so they pretended to follow King Teng and followed Li Zhengyan, Wei Shaoqi and the others.

Li Zhengyan and Cai Qin thought they were buying horse bones for a thousand dollars, but they never expected that Zhu Lingxu was a snake and a mouse. It didn't matter that both Prince Teng and the eldest son tried their best to drag him down.

It has long been concluded that the court will win. This person has no intention of rehabilitating Li Qian. He is secretly connected with the Wei family. Yes, it is probably the Persian businessman Li Li who is secretly connected.

Ouyang Rong couldn't help but look south to Guizhou and Hongzhou.

Although they are currently enemies with Li Zhengyan, Cai Qin, and others, at least Li Zhengyan and the others are men who dare to put their heads on their belts and do whatever they don't accept.

It's a pity that I seem to have bumped into a rare domestic slave with three surnames.
