    Li Zhen saw Yao Xi at night. Yao Xi was beaten very badly, his body was bloody and his breath was dying. Fortunately, he was an imperial doctor himself and knew how to save his life, so 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 only Di Renjie's deep hatred, but also his brother's hatred. He wanted the Zhang brothers to pay their capital and profits.  Return the land.

    At this time, Yao Xi slowly opened his eyes and smiled reluctantly at Li Zhen: "Brother Zhen, I can actually hold on, but I'm afraid they will accuse you of poisoning, so I'll bear it."

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

    "Yeah! At least I can stand up better than that damn fat guy." Yao Xi smiled slightly and said: "Hit him twice and he will scream like a slaughtered pig."

    Seeing that he could still joke, Li Zhen was relieved and said with a smile, "You should take good care of yourself. Da Zhuang might 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 flies so fast."

    Li Zhen asked the imperial doctor to take care of Yao Xi. He winked at Mrs. Wang, who quickly followed him to the outhouse. Mrs. Wang asked worriedly: "Brother Li, is my husband going to be sued again?"

    Li Zhen smiled and said: "Don't worry! This matter should be settled. My brother will have someone to protect him and nothing will happen again. But I am a little worried about you, my brother and sister. You'd better take your children to live in my house."  , there will be strict protection by soldiers.¡±

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

    Li Zhen left the imperial city first and went directly to the Internal Guards' Yamen to find Zhang Li. Since Wu Youji went to Chang'an to take over Li Zhen's post in Xijing, Zhang Li was naturally promoted to General of the Internal Guards and commanded five thousand internal guards.  , but the government and the public generally believe that Zhang Li still belongs to Princess Taiping's faction. This is because Zhang Li's wife is Wu Youji's youngest sister, and she is the one who is led by Princess Taiping.

    Despite this, there is still a saying in the imperial court as the "Dunhuang Clan", which refers to the Qianqiying General Li Zhen, the Internal Guard General Zhang Li, Zhang Li's father Yumendao Chief Zhang Ting, and the Left Guard Zhonglang General Li Pan  Wait, but this statement is not widely recognized, so it is just talk.

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

    "He was beaten badly, but his life is not in danger for the time being."

    Li Zhen sat down and took a sip of tea, and then said: "This is Shangguanshe's rescue in time. I heard that if it were a little later, Wu Yizong would use the burning jar to force Yao Xi to identify me, and then his life would be difficult to save."  ¡±

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

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

    Zhang Li stood up, closed the door, and whispered to Li Zhen: "I got news that Wu Youning is going to be named a prince."

    Zhang Li¡¯s wife is Wu Youning¡¯s younger sister. It¡¯s not surprising that Zhang Li got this news, but Li Zhen understood the meaning behind the news. He was very shocked, ¡°Is the news accurate?¡±

    "It should be accurate, even the title has been drawn up, it seems to be King Yan."

    Li Zhen didn't speak for a while. 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 it meant. There are currently only two so-called Princes of the Wu family, one  It was Wu Chengsi, King of Wei, and Wu Sansi, King of Liang. Wu Chengsi had passed away, and now only Wu Sansi was left.

    If Wu Youning is named a prince, it means that he is recognized as a direct descendant of the Wu family and is eligible to inherit the throne. It seems that although Wu Zetian does not want Wu Sansi to succeed to 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 to govern the country and his prestige far exceeded that of Wu Sansi. It seems that when Wu Zetian appointed Wu Youning as prime minister, he was already considering the possibility of Wu Youning succeeding him.

    This is definitely news that makes it difficult for both the Wu family and the Li family to sleep. Li Zhen changed his mind. Since Zhang Li already knew it, Princess Taiping must also know it. Wu Sansi may not know it yet.

    He thought for a while and asked: "Has Wu Youning come to see you?"

    Zhang Li shook his head, "He didn't come to me, but I heard from your mother that You Ning seemed reluctant to accept it and was very hesitant, so the matter has not been finalized yet. I plan to tell you later."

    Li Zhen also knew that Wu Youning was far less ambitious than Wu Sansi, and was unwilling to form a private party.??, his prestige has far surpassed that of Wu Chengsi, but he refused to replace Wu Chengsi. After Wu Chengsi's death, he was unwilling to take over the Wu family. As a result, Wu Sansi gradually unified the Wu family.  Excluding Wu Chengsi's sons and Wu Youning brothers.

    But being a prince and ascending the throne is another matter. Can Wu Youning resist this temptation?  Li Zhen is really a little skeptical.

    "By the way, do you have anything to do with me?" Zhang Lixiao asked.

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

    "How should I put it? Their power is indeed overwhelming. Sometimes they represent the emperor's will."

    "I don't mean this, I mean outside of imperial power."

    Zhang Li thought for a while and said: "Prime Minister Yang Zaisi is their spokesperson in the political hall. In addition, Zong Chuke, the Minister of the Ministry of War, is also one of their people, General Wu Yizong, the guard of the left prison, Li Kaigu, the general of Yulin, Zhang Changqi, the commander of Luoyang, Zhang Tongxiu, the minister of the Ministry of Justice,  There are also some middle and low-level officials, but they are not as good as the above few people.¡±

    "What if Wu Sansi is added?"

    "If you add Wu Sansi's strength, I'm afraid the situation will be different, and the court is mostly centrist. Everyone will not take sides easily and are waiting to see the situation. Especially now that Di Xiangguo has passed away, many people are eyeing this vacant position.  Once Er Zhang and Wu Sansi join forces, this position will be difficult to maintain. "

    The two talked for a while, and then Li Zhen stood up to say goodbye and returned to his home.

    It was already dusk. Li Zhen's wife and children returned to their home in Fushanfang in the afternoon, escorted by fifty personal soldiers. Li Zhen arranged for nearly two hundred personal guards to live in his house to protect the safety of his wife and children 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 occupies a large area with many empty rooms. Everyone living together does not feel crowded, but lively.  a bit.

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

    In the room, Li Chengqi was sitting at the table drinking tea. When he saw Li Zhen walking in, he quickly stood up and said with a smile: "I'm disturbing the general's rest."

    "It doesn't matter. Have you had dinner? How about having a glass of wine together?"

    Li Zhen asked the maid to serve a few dishes and a jug of wine, then smiled and poured a glass of wine for Li Chengqi, "Why would His Highness think of coming to see me today?"

    "My father was worried that something would happen to the general. We heard that someone in the palace was poisoned, and it was related to Yao Yuyi. My father immediately thought of the general. This should be Er Zhang's revenge on the general."

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

    "Is Zhang Changyi that arrogant? Dare you even bully the Prime Minister?"

    "More than just arrogance, Zhang Changyi said that the dismount sign in front of the Prime Minister's Palace was blocking the way. He had people smash the sign to pieces, and seriously injured the housekeeper and concierge who came to stop them. Although the Yushitai impeached Zhang Changyi, in the end  This matter still remains unsolved, it¡¯s such a humiliation! My father can only endure it.¡±

    Li Zhen drank the wine in the cup and said to Li Chengqi: "Please go back and tell your father, thank you for his concern. The poisoning in the palace has been solved. The Holy Emperor will no longer pursue this matter, and Yao Yuyi has been rescued."  ¡±

    "That's good, hey! You know who did it, but the Holy One doesn't pursue it. Sooner or later, the Holy One's reputation will be ruined by Er Zhang. Although Xue Huaiyi was so domineering back then, he didn't want to directly interfere in politics like Er Zhang. Now these two bastards  It¡¯s getting more and more arrogant.¡±

    Li Chengqi drank the wine in the cup, he pondered for a moment, and then said to Li Zhen: "Actually, I have one more thing to come here this time. My father wants to ask the general for help."

    Li Zhen knew that Li Chengqi came with a purpose, so he smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness, you can say it directly, as long as Li Zhen can do it, he will definitely try his best."

    "It's like this. Ling Yue passed away unfortunately, and the whole court was grieved, but the court still had to operate normally. Currently, Zhang Jianzhi is appointed as Zhongshu Ling, taking over Ling Yue's position. The other five prime ministers are Yao Chong, Wei Anshi, Yang Zaisi, Doulu Wangqin, Zong  Chu Ke is relatively stable, so we need to make up for one more prime minister. My father wants to recommend Huan Yanfan, the prince's minister, to be the prime minister to make up for the seven prime ministers. The general will take a look at this matter"

    Among the six ministers of the current political affairs hall, Zhang Jianzhi and Yao Chong were promoted and recommended by Di Renjie, while Wei Anshi is a relative of Princess Wei of Luling and firmly supports the King of Luling. Yang Zaisi and Zong Chuke are direct descendants of the two Zhangs, and Doulu Wangqin  He is a member of Wu Sansi, so Prime Minister Li Dan hopes to take this opportunity to insert himself as a prime minister to speak for his own interests.

    Of course, Li Zhen also understood that the Prime Minister wanted him to talk to Zhang Jianzhi and Yao Chong and let them support Huan Yanfan in becoming the Prime Minister.

      "I understand, I will do my best to implement this matter, but your father already knows about Wu Youning!"

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

    Li Zhen is also a little strange. Princess Taiping knows this very well, but Li Chengqi has never heard of it. Could it be that Li Dan concealed his son? It shouldn't be possible!

    Li Zhen said: "I got the news today that Wu Youning may be crowned a prince."

    Li Chengqi was immediately shocked. He was from the royal family, so of course he knew more about the rich information contained in it. After being stunned for a while, he asked again: "Is the news accurate?"

    "Zhang Li told me, it should be accurate."

    Li Chengqi couldn't sit still for a while, so he stood up and said, "I will go back immediately to report this matter to my father. I also ask the general for more help regarding Huan Yanfan's matter."

    "Don't worry! I'll go find Zhang Jianzhi tomorrow."
