Li Zhen met Yao Xi at night. Yao Xi was beaten very badly, his body was covered in blood and dying. Fortunately, he was an imperial physician and knew how to save his life, but he did not lose his life in the end.

Yao Xi's wife Wang sat aside and wiped her tears. Li Zhen held Yao Xi's hand and was extremely angry. It was not just Di Renjie's deep hatred, but also his brother's hatred. He wanted the Zhang brothers to return it back with all their interests.

At this time, Yao Xi slowly opened her eyes and barely smiled at Li Zhen and said, "Brother Zhen, I can actually hold on, but I am afraid that they will accus you of poisoning, so I took it. "

Li Zhen was moved and patted the back of his hand gently, "I knew for a long time that you are much stronger than ordinary people."

"Yes! At least I can stand up more than that fat man." Yao Xi smiled slightly again: "Watch him twice, he promises to scream like a pig."

Seeing that he could still make jokes, Li Zhen suddenly felt relieved and smiled and said, "You should recuperate well. Dazhuang may come to see you in a few days."

"Is he here?"

Li Zhen nodded, and Yao Xi sighed, "I haven't seen him for many years, time passes so quickly."

Li Zhen asked the imperial physician to take care of Yao Xi, and he gave Wang a wink. Wang hurriedly came to the outer room with him. Wang asked worriedly: "Brother Li, will my husband still sue again?"

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Don't worry! This matter should be left unresolved. My brother will have someone to protect it. There will be no more things. But you, brother and sister, I'm a little worried. You'd better take your children to live in my mansion, where there will be soldiers who will be closely protected."

Wang's eyes showed a look of fear, and she nodded, "Then I'll take the child to find Sister Qingyu."

Li Zhen left the imperial city first and went directly to the Inner Guards to find Zhang Li. Since Wu Youji went to Chang'an to replace Li Zhen's position as the Xijing left-behind position, Zhang Li was naturally promoted to the Inner Guard General and controlled the 5,000 Inner Guards. However, the government and the people generally believed that Zhang Li still belonged to the Taiping Princess faction, because Zhang Li's wife was Wu Youji's youngest sister, and was the thread that Princess Taiping was tied.

Despite this, there is also a saying in the court that the "Dunhuang Clan" refers to Li Zhen, the general of the Qianqi Camp, Zhang Li, the general of the Inner Guard, Zhang Ting, the general of the Yumendao of Zhang Li, and Zhang Li's father, Zhang Ting, the general of the Left Guard, Li Pan, etc. However, this statement is not highly recognized, so it is just a saying.

"How is Yao Xi's situation?" As soon as we met, Zhang Li asked Li Zhen impatiently.

"I was beaten very badly, but I have no worries about my life for the time being."

Li Zhen sat down and drank a sip of tea, and said, "This is the timely rescue of Shangguan Sheren. I heard that if I am a little later, Wu Yizong would use a fire urn to force Yao Xi to identify me, and his life will be difficult to save."

Zhang Li nodded, "It's because Er Zhang wants to kill you. If you have to be careful, they will never give up."

Li Zhen said coldly: "I hope they don't stop and let me fight them well. I have a deep hatred with them. If they don't die, this knot will not be untied."

Zhang Li stood up and closed the door, whispered to Li Zhen: "I have received a message that Wu Youning is going to be named Prince."

Zhang Li's wife is Wu Youning's young girl. It is not surprising that Zhang Li received this news, but Li Zhen understood the profound meaning behind the news. He was very shocked, "Is the news accurate?"

"It should be accurate. Even the title is planned, it seems to be the King of Yan."

Li Zhen didn't say anything for a long time. He originally wanted to talk to Zhang Li about the Zhang brothers, but he didn't expect Zhang Li to tell him the news first. Of course, Li Zhen knew what this meant. There are only two so-called Prince Wu's family, one is Wu Chengsi, the other is Wu Chengsi, the other is Wu Chengsi, the other is Wu Chengsi. Wu Chengsi has passed away, and now only Wu Sansi is left.

If Wu Youning is named Prince, it means that he will be recognized as the direct lineage of the Wu family and is qualified to inherit the throne. It seems that although Wu Zetian does not want Wu Sansi to succeed the throne, he still hopes to pass the throne to the Wu family.

Wu Youning served as prime minister for three years, and his ability and prestige were far superior to Wu Sansi. It seems that Wu Zetian appointed Wu Youning as prime minister back then, and was already considering the possibility of Wu Youning succeeding the throne.

This is definitely a piece of news that makes it difficult for both the Wu family and the Li family to fall asleep. Li Zhen changed his mind. Since Zhang Li already knew, Princess Taiping must have known it too, and Wu Sansi may not know it yet.

He thought about it and asked again, "Have Wu Youning found you?"

Zhang Li shook his head, "He didn't look for me, but I heard from Youniang that Youning seemed unwilling to accept it and was hesitant, so this matter was not yet concluded. I plan to tell you later."

Li Zhen also knew that Wu Youning's ambition was far inferior to Wu Sansi, and he was unwilling to form a private party. In the Wu Chengsi faction, his prestige was far superior to Wu Chengsi, but he refused to replace Wu Chengsi. After Wu Chengsi's death, he was unwilling to replace Wu Chengsi's group, which led to Wu Sansi's gradually unification of the Wu family, and only excluded Wu Chengsi's sons and Wu Youning's brothers.

However, being the crown prince and ascending the throne is another matter. Can Wu Youning withstand this temptation? Li Zhen is really a little suspicious.

"By the way, are you asking me for something?" Zhang Li asked with a smile.

Li Zhen nodded, "I want to know the situation of the Zhang brothers. How powerful are they?"

"How to say it? Their power is indeed vast. Sometimes they represent the will of the emperor."

"If I don't talk about this, I mean it outside of imperial power."

Zhang Li thought for a while and said, "The Prime Minister Yang Zaisi is their spokesperson in the Political Affairs Hall. In addition, the Minister of War Zong Chuke is also theirs. General Wu Yizong, the left guard of the gatekeeper, General Li Kaigu, General Yulin Li Kaigu, Zhang Changqi, the Luoyang ruling, Zhang Tongxiu, the Minister of Justice, and some middle and low-level officials, but they are not as good as the above."

"What if Wu Sansi is added?"

"If Wu Sansi's strength is added, the situation will probably be different. Moreover, most of the centralists in the court are in the court, so no one will easily take sides and watch the situation. Especially now that Di Xiangguo has passed away, many people are watching this vacant position. Once Er Zhang and Wu Sansi join forces, this position will be difficult to guarantee."

After the two of them talked for a while, Li Zhen stood up and said goodbye, and returned to his home.

It was already dusk. Li Zhen's wife and children returned to their homes in Fushanfang in the afternoon with fifty personal guards. Li Zhen arranged nearly 200 personal guards to live in his mansion to protect his wife and children's safety day and night. He knew that Er Zhang would not give up and would probably attack his family.

Not only his wife and children, but also Yao Xi's wife and Jiu Zhi's wife and daughter all came over. Fortunately, Li Zhen's mansion occupied a large area and had many empty houses. It didn't feel crowded when they lived together, and it became a little lively.

As soon as Li Zhen returned home, Di Yan told Li Chengqi was waiting in the study outside. Li Zhen changed his clothes and quickly walked to the study outside.

In the room, Li Chengqi was sitting at the table drinking tea. When he saw Li Zhen walking in, he quickly stood up and smiled and said, "I'll disturb the general to rest."

"It's okay, haven't you eaten dinner, how about having a drink together?"

Li Zhen asked the maid to serve a few plates of side dishes and a pot of wine, and smiled and poured a glass of wine for Li Chengqi, "How could your highness come to come to see me today?"

"It was my father who was worried about something happening to the general. When we heard that someone in the palace was poisoned and it was related to Doctor Yao, my father immediately thought of the general. This should be the second revenge of the general."

Speaking of this, Li Chengqi whispered again: "My father is also deeply happy about the fact that the general seriously injured Zhang Changyi."

"Is Zhang Changyi that arrogant? Even the Prime Minister dares to bully him?"

"It's not just arrogance. Zhang Changyi said that the dismount card in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion blocked the way. He made the dismount card to smash it to pieces, and even seriously injured the housekeeper and the concierge who came to stop them. Although the Censor impeached Zhang Changyi, the matter was left unresolved and humiliated! My father could only bear it."

Li Zhen drank the wine in the glass and said to Li Chengqi: "Please go back and tell Ling Zun, thank you for your concern. The poisoning in the palace has been resolved. The emperor will no longer pursue this matter, and Doctor Yao was rescued."

"That's good, hey! Even though he knew who did it, the emperor would not pursue it. The emperor's reputation would sooner or later be destroyed by Er Zhang. Although Xue Huaiyi was arrogant back then, he did not expect Er Zhang to interfere directly in politics like this. Now these two bastards are becoming more and more arrogant."

Li Chengqi drank the wine in the glass. He pondered for a while and said to Li Zhen: "Actually, there is one more thing I have here this time. My father wants to ask the general to help."

Li Zhen knew that Li Chengqi came with a purpose, so he smiled and said, "Your Highness just said that as long as Li Zhen can do it, he will do his best."

"That's right, Yue died unfortunately, and the court was full of grief, but the court still had to operate normally. Currently, Zhang Jianzhi served as the Minister of the Central Secretariat and replaced Ling Yue's position. The other five prime ministers Yao Chong, Wei Anshi, Yang Zaisi, Dou Lu Wangqin, and Zong Chuke are all relatively stable. In this way, they have to add another prime minister. My father wants to recommend Huan Yanfan, the Taifu Qing, to be prime minister, and to make up for the seven prime ministers. The general will see this matter..."

Among the six prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall, Zhang Jianzhi and Yao Chong were promoted and recommended by Di Renjie, while Wei Anshi was a relative of the Princess of Luling, and firmly supported King Luling, Yang Zaisi and Zong Chuke were the direct descendants of Er Zhang, and Dou Lu Wangqin was Wu Sansi's person, so Prime Minister Li Dan hopes to take this opportunity to insert a prime minister and endorse his own interests.

Of course, Li Zhen also understood that the Prime Minister hoped that he would talk to Zhang Jianzhi and Yao Chong to support Huan Yanfan as prime minister.

"I understand. I will do my best to operate this matter, but Ling Zun already knows about Wu Youning!"

Li Chengqi was stunned, "What's wrong with Wu Youning?"

Li Zhen was also a little surprised. Princess Taiping knew this very well. Why did Li Chengqi never hear about it? Could it be that Li Dan concealed his son? It shouldn't be!

Li Zhen said: "I got the news today that Wu Youning may be named Prince."

Li Chengqi was shocked immediately. He was a royal family, and of course he knew more about the rich information contained therein. After a while of shock, he asked again: "Is the news accurate?"

"It was Zhang Li who told me, it should be accurate."

Li Chengqi couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and said, "I will go back and report this to my father immediately. Regarding Huan Yanfan, please help me."
