    Zhao Qiuniang shook her head gently, "I won't tell her, but I want to remind her, Princess Taiping is not as simple as you think. Her scheming and domineering methods even make people in the official residence avoid her. Don't be fooled by her."  Take advantage and end up harming yourself.¡±

    Zhao Qiuniang's words touched Li Zhen's mind. Princess Taiping insisted on using her confidants to do things, which made Li Zhen a little uneasy. At this time, Zhao Qiuniang revealed this, and Li Zhen was silent for a moment.

    Zhao Qiuniang stepped forward and said slowly: "I am just a kind reminder. If you still trust me, I will send twenty hidden guards to help you. If you are worried about my relationship with Shangguan Sheren, then I suggest you find Zhang Li. He  I will definitely help you with all my strength.¡±

    Li Zhen raised his head and stared at Zhao Qiuniang. Seeing the sincere look in her eyes, just like many years ago, Li Zhen felt warm in his heart. He nodded and smiled: "Then I'll bother you, Sister Qiuniang."

    At noon the next day, at Baiyun Liquor near Nanshi, a man in his fifties was sitting alone in front of the second floor window drinking. The man had gray hair but was very short. Looking from behind, he looked like  He looks like a child, but this person is actually a powerful figure. He is Mr. Ming, the strategist behind Wu Sansi.

    It was Mr. Ming¡¯s behind-the-scenes advice and step-by-step planning that brought Wu Sansi closer and closer to the position of prince, leaving only one step away.

    Mr. Ming has already planned the last step for Wu Sansi, which is that the Holy Emperor will go to Songshan Mountain next month to consecrate him. At that time, it will be the best opportunity to announce the crown prince. Thinking that Wu Sansi will become the prince, Mr. Ming is quite proud of being able to do so.  Becoming an Imperial Master was also the greatest achievement in his life.

    This Baiyun wine shop is relatively close to Mr. Ming's home, only half a stick of incense walking time, and he likes the wine here. The shop adds a spice to the wine, which gives the wine a wonderful aroma while being mellow.  Mr. Ming is so fond of it that he comes here to have a drink almost every two or three days.

    At this time, a bartender walked forward quickly carrying a plate with a wine bottle, nodded and bowed with a smile: "Mr. Ming, please wait for a long time."

    Mr. Ming seemed to have never seen him before, so he smiled and asked, "Are you new here?"

    "The villain is usually responsible for serving the third floor. Today Shiro is ill, so the villain will temporarily take over for him for the day. Mr. Ming is the wisest person in our Tang Dynasty. The shopkeeper often mentions you to the villain."

    Mr. Ming likes to be praised by others. This is his biggest weakness, which is related to his physical defects. Whether it is a lowly bartender or a powerful person in a high position, he will be very happy as long as he is praised. Mr. Ming is very proud and finds out  He handed a handful of money to the bartender and said, "I'll give you this money as a reward."

    "Thank you sir, thank you very much!"

    The bartender took the money, turned around and left with a lot of gratitude, but the moment the bartender turned around, an imperceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

    Mr. Ming poured himself a glass and tasted it with gusto. He seemed to feel that today¡¯s wine was more mellow and couldn¡¯t help but drink it all in one gulp.

    In the south of Luoyang, near Yique County, there is a manor covering an area of ??50 hectares, called Qingju Villa. This manor is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with extremely beautiful scenery. It has always been one of the royal manors. The owner of the manor was originally Wu  Think twice, but two years ago, Wu Sansi gave this manor to Zhang Jingxiong, the younger brother of the Zhang brothers, in order to please the Zhang brothers.

    Zhang Jingxiong was originally a scoundrel in Luoyang. He was lazy, idle, and addicted to gambling. When he was most embarrassed, he once dragged his wife to a casino to pay off her gambling debts, and was scolded by others.

    But since the Zhang brothers suddenly rose to prominence, Zhang Jingxiong also ascended to heaven. In a flash, he was named the Lieutenant General of the Qianniu Guard, and received countless gold and silver rewards. In addition, many people gave money and gifts to please him. He suddenly became rich and began to become a  One of the rich and powerful people in Luoyang.

    Perhaps because he was afraid of poverty in the past, Zhang Jingxiong had little interest in being an official, but he was greedy for money. He kept all his gold and silver treasures in Qingju Villa and counted them every day before going to bed.

    Another problem with him is that he likes to visit brothels. When he was a gangster, he was a frequent visitor to brothels. Now that he is rich, he is even more unscrupulous. He spends all day in the fireworks and willow alleys, so much so that he was impeached by the official, and the Zhang brothers also felt that he was embarrassed.  He persuaded him.

    Although Zhang Jingxiong restrained himself and no longer visited brothels, he could not change his love for prostitutes. He always dragged carloads of prostitutes from Luoyang to the manor to accompany him to drink and have fun day and night.

    Today, as usual, Zhang Jingxiong was drinking and having fun with more than a dozen prostitutes in the luxuriously decorated lobby. He liked throwing pot arrows, so he invited a dozen prostitutes to throw pot arrows with him. If they hit the ball, they would be rewarded with a lot of money.  Zhong was either forced to drink a glass of wine or take off a piece of clothing. All he heard was the constant laughter in the lobby, and Zhang Jingxiong's proud laugh.

    But at this moment, dozens of men in black have sneaked into the villa, and they are vicious and murderous.They killed all the domestic servants and maids in the villa in just a moment. Finally, dozens of people surrounded the lobby. The leader waved his hand to the lobby, and dozens of men in black rushed in together, and there was an immediate tragedy.  There were shouts and exclamations.

    Zhang Jingxiong had just taken two steps when he was kicked over by the leader of the men in black. Zhang Jingxiong was so frightened that he shouted: "I'll give you money!"

    The leader of the men in black laughed ferociously, "I will take the money, but I also want your life!"

    He plunged the knife into Zhang Jingxiong's chest. Zhang Jingxiong screamed and died immediately.

    At this time, all the other prostitutes in the lobby were killed. The leader of the men in black ordered: "Go to the study and take away all his gold, silver and jewelry!"

    Dozens of men in black quickly rushed to the study. They seemed to know where Zhang Jingxiong's treasure was hidden. However, the leading man in black finally left. He grabbed Zhang Jingxiong's hand, dipped it in some blood, and wrote a few words on the ground.  The word, 'murderer, hut'.  "

    But there was no more writing after that. The man in black turned around and left quickly. The smell of blood filled the hall

    The news of the murder of Qian Niu Wei Lieutenant General Zhang Jingxiong spread quickly, causing a sensation in the government and the public. Everyone felt incredible that someone dared to kill the brothers of Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi. This was simply audacious. All Zhang Jingxiong's money was robbed.  He left, which made everyone more suspicious. Could this be the work of a certain group of bandits?

    But some ministers still remained silent. With the power of the Zhang brothers in the Tang Dynasty, few people didn't know it. Since they knew it, they still wanted to take action. This was not as simple as a bandit stealing money. Taking away money was just to hide the real purpose.  But the sword was pointed at the Zhang brothers. This was someone warning the Zhang brothers.

    Although the government and the public were talking a lot, the Zhang brothers unexpectedly remained silent. Many people still remember that last year, because Gao Yanfu only said one sentence, the Holy One should take care of the dragon body, the Zhang brothers became furious and almost killed them.  They killed Gao Yanfu, but this time, their brother was killed, and they didn't say a word, which was strange.

    The Yaoguang Hall of the Taichu Palace was originally Xue Huaiyi's dormitory. After Xue Huaiyi's death, it was empty for several years. Now it has become the harem dormitory of the Zhang brothers. Unlike Xue Huaiyi who liked liveliness, the Zhang brothers liked silence and disliked light.  .

    Their request made the Yaoguang Palace become eerie and quiet. The hundreds of eunuchs and maids who served them did not dare to say a word and walked cautiously on tiptoes all day long, lest they make any sound.

    In the afternoon, a eunuch walked quickly into the main hall. Although he walked quickly, he wore thick soft-soled shoes, which made him walk silently. He walked in front of a large room, pointed at the closed door, and lowered his head.  The voice asked a eunuch standing at the door, "How are they?"

    The eunuch also lowered his voice and said: "I haven't come out all morning."

    The eunuch hesitated for a moment, then knocked gently on the door, "Your Majesty, please invite the two generals to come over."

    In the room, two young men dressed in coquettish clothes and painted with makeup were sitting opposite each other. These two men were brothers Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi. The murder of Zhang Jingxiong did not make the two men furious, but made them panic and frightened.  They realized that the murder of Zhang Jingxiong was definitely not the work of ordinary people, but a powerful force warning them.

    The Zhang family usually relies on Wu Zetian's support to dominate, but they have extremely low self-esteem. They know that once Wu Zetian dies, someone will take action on them, so when Wu Sansi promised to protect their prosperity and wealth forever, they were tempted.  He began to say good things about Wu Sansi in front of Wu Zetian and encouraged Wu Zetian to make Wu Sansi the prince.

    Wu Zetian was so addicted to the physical body of the Zhang brothers that she lost her mind, agreed to their ridiculous demands, and prepared to make Wu Sansi the crown prince. The Zhang brothers were also extremely happy, thinking that they would be free from worries.

    Unexpectedly, their brother Zhang Jingxiong was killed. This was like a bucket of cold water being poured on their heads. They suddenly realized that Wu Sansi was not absolutely reliable. Zhang Jingxiong died in the manor given to him by Wu Sansi. Even Wu Sansi could not believe it.  If he couldn't be saved, how could Wu Sansi be able to save himself?

    "What should I do?" Zhang Yizhi asked in a hoarse voice.

    "Who could have done it?" Zhang Changzong said to himself, "Either the Li family or the military."

    When the military was mentioned, both of them had a cold war. They both thought that the military did not support Wu Sansi at all. If Wu Sansi ascended the throne, would the military rise in rebellion?

    The two brothers looked at each other. They supported Wu Sansi too early and did not consider the counterattack of other forces. They may have made a mistake. The correct approach is to wait until the end of their game and the overall situation has been determined before expressing their support. They would rather add icing on the cake than provide help in the snow.  .

    At this time, the eunuch's voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty is looking for two generals!"

    The two of them have nothing to do with the army.None of them, but they were all named champion generals. This is because Wu Zetian has a special liking for the title of 'general'. The men she likes must be named generals. Zhang Changzong sighed and said: "Let's go and see what she says first.  Bar!"

    The two stood up and walked towards Wu Zetian's study room together.
