But such important news in the court could not be found out by ordinary people. He was very willing to listen, so he listened attentively and nodded slightly from time to time.

Xue Bai sighed and said: "The right prime minister and the East Palace are fighting. It's like two huge rocks colliding, but it's us who are caught in the middle like weeds. The current situation is that we are suffering from internal and external troubles, and we are in a precarious situation."

"You deserve it!" Li Niang spat, "Li Ying's remaining party should be wiped out."

Xue Bai didn't answer.

Yang Hui thought about the previous conversation and knew that it was possible for the two sides to turn enemies into friends. What's more, Xue Bai took the initiative to show weakness today. Of course, he had the intention of making friends, so he should take advantage of it.

"who are you?"

"In the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, Li Heng, the third son of the emperor, spied on the Sacred Heart, misled the saint into suspecting that the prince was intertwined with the prime minister, instigated Li Xuan to secretly report, used Concubine Wu Hui, dismissed Zhang Jiuling, and eliminated three common people, and then conspired to frame Concubine Wu Hui, and designed the concubine to accept the longevity of the saint.

, kill two birds with one stone, and get rid of two big troubles. All this was noticed by Zhang Jiuling, but unfortunately he had been demoted to Jingzhou, so he only told his close friend Zheng Qian about it. This is the origin of Zheng Qian's "privately writing the history of the country."

Having said this, Xue Bai smiled bitterly before answering Yang Hui's question.

"We, the people who learned about this and wanted to expose this conspiracy, believe that the Tang Dynasty cannot be left in Li Heng's hands."

Yang Hui asked: "Then in whose hands do you think the Tang Dynasty can be handed over?"

Xue Bai said: "Shou Wang can't do it."

Yang Hui raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you thinking of Prince Qing?"

Xue Bai said: "Although King Qing is the eldest son, others think that we want to support him, but in fact it is inconvenient for us to interact with him. Today, I will not go to see King Qing."

"Yes, King Qing's appearance is disgraceful and he cannot be the king of the country."

Li Niang was impatient with their nonsense and said directly: "If you don't want to establish an elder, then you will establish a direct descendant. Since my mother-in-law is named Queen Zhenshun, my brother Sheng Wang Li Qigui is the legitimate son and should be the crown prince."

Yang Hui was a little embarrassed and stopped hiding. He looked at Xue Bai and asked, "What do you think?"

"Can."

"You agree so easily?"

"Since King Sheng is the only legitimate son of the saint, it is feasible. What's more, when a disaster is approaching, how can he take such long-term care?"

Yang Hui didn't expect Xue Bai to be so outspoken.

But then I thought about it, everything I said now was false. If you want to swallow up the other party's power, you have to see what the other party wants to ask for. Now that the status of the Princess Mansion is not as good as before, it may not be possible yet.

"What are your intentions when you come here today? Are you going to use us to save Zheng Qian?"

"There is no need to act rashly." Xue Bai pondered: "In Zhongnan Mountain, I once told Pei Mian's identity, has the consort confirmed it?"

Li Niang saw that he was only asking Yang Hui, as if she didn't know who was in charge of the Princess Mansion, so she immediately said: "So what if it's confirmed?"

"Didn't the princess reveal it to Ge Nu?"

"Oh, why should I be used by you?"

Xue Bai took out a document, spread it out, and gave them a look.

I saw that this document was stamped with the seal of the East Palace official, and a piece was torn off in the middle.

"This is?"

"Evidence that can prove Pei Mian's identity." Xue Bai said: "If I present it to Ge Nu, Ge Nu will not believe it."

Yang Hui stretched out his hand to pick it up.

Xue Bai put away the document and asked with a smile: "Where is my body deed?"

Li Niang was displeased and frowned: "You want to negotiate terms with me?"

"Fair deal."

"Who are you to deserve a fair deal with me? If I kill you..."

Yang Hui hurriedly patted her and comforted her with a few gentle words. The couple just sent someone to get Xue Bai's body deed.

Xue Bai took back the deed and handed over Pei Mian's letter of connection, but said: "However, if the consort presents it to Ge Nu, Ge Nu will know that we are cooperating. It can be used to drive Pei Mian to do things."

"Why don't you take advantage of this yourself?"

"My status is not high enough and it will only make Pei Mian feel murderous. It is better to give it to the consort."

Yang Hui's eyes flashed.

Xue Bai added: "Can the Prince Consort help me ask for details about Zheng Qian? They captured Zheng Qian to lure the snake out of its hole. I don't want to fall into the trap, but this matter is not difficult for the Prince Consort."

~~

Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Li Linfu is bowing his head at his desk.

The first batch of Hedong salt tax was about to be escorted to Beijing, which put a lot of pressure on him. He has been investigating this matter recently and thinking about countermeasures.

Two days ago, there was another person on the list of political opponents he wanted to get rid of, Yuan Zai.

I heard that this son was the one who advised Yang Hao. He was very talented in tax matters and was quite threatening.

"Alang, the consort is here."

After hearing the announcement, Li Linfu put down the official document in his hand and asked Yang Hui to sit in the hall.

He guessed that Yang Hui came here to urge the Right Prime Minister to get rid of Xue Pingzhao, and he waved his hand as soon as they met.

"Consort, there is no need to be impatient. The truth is that I have already heard that Lu Xuan was demoted. I will wait for the emperor's holy family to fade away and then find an opportunity to get rid of him."

"What the Prime Minister said is true."

After hearing these words, Yang Hui looked up at Li Linfu and suddenly felt something new.

Ge Nu said it as if dealing with Xue Bai was for them, but he was just using people as fools.

After sitting down and chatting for a few words, Yang Hui said: "Right Chancellor, I heard something today... The Ministry of Punishment suddenly arrested Dr. Zheng Qian of Taixue. Is it related to an old case from that year?"

Li Linfu's eyes narrowed and he said slowly: "What a quick news about the prince-in-law."

"It happened that some of my nephews were in the Imperial College, and they heard about it immediately after it happened."

Yang Hui responded, suddenly feeling the pleasure of teasing Ge Nu.

Li Linfu nodded and said: "The Minister of Punishment received a secret letter last night to accuse him. Zheng Qian wrote an article in private, fabricating the history of the country."

"If the Right Prime Minister wants to use this to deal with the East Palace, I am willing to help."

Yang Hui leaned over and expressed his attitude. In fact, he wanted to test whether Li Linfu had instigated this matter.

He didn't want to, but Li Linfu waved his hand and said: "The case is not clear yet. We will discuss it after Xiao Yinzhi's trial. There is no need to worry, Prince Consort."

Yang Wei was surprised and asked: "Isn't this a frame-up by the right prime minister?"

Li Linfu glanced sideways at him and said with a straight face: "The truth is that the law is fair and can never be framed."

"I made a mistake." Yang Hui apologized repeatedly, "I'm asking... Someone really exposed Zheng Qian. Did he really write the history of the country privately?"

"yes."

Li Linfu tugged on his beard, looked thoughtful, and spoke slowly.

"Zhang Jiuling has been dead for seven years, and his brother Zhang Jiugao has always wanted to build a Shinto monument for him..."

Shinto tablets are stone tablets erected in front of tombs that record the life events of the deceased. Carving a tablet is not an easy task. It requires someone to write, write, and carve the monument.

Yang Hui immediately understood why Zhang Jiuling had not yet erected a Shinto monument after his death. Because Li Linfu, who had a small belly, was still alive, he would definitely pay attention to whether Zhang Jiuling's inscription said bad things about him. Zhang Jiugao probably wanted to wait until Li Linfu died and write freely.

An inscription.

really.

"The evidence that Xiao Yinzhi received this time is the inscription written by Zheng Qian for Zhang Jiuling, which contains the sentence 'Concubine Wu Hui has alienated the princes and will establish her son'." Li Linfu said: "In order to protect Concubine Wu Hui's name, the Ministry of Punishment

Capture Zheng Qian and investigate this matter strictly."

"That's it." Yang Hui couldn't help but look moved.

"When the matter is found out, I will report it to my consort."

After Li Linfu finished speaking, he raised his hand to see the guest off.

Yang Hui then left.

He turned around with a sneer in his eyes.

Everyone said that it was Concubine Wu Hui who harmed the three concubines. How could it be that the Ministry of Punishment was so resolute in arresting people because of Concubine Wu Hui?

As Xue Bai said, there must be a hidden secret in this matter.

Even now, Li Linfu still regards him as a fool.

"Consort, are you going back home?"

"There's no hurry." Yang Hui got on his horse, thought for a while, and said, "Go to the Yushitai..."
