    Zhang Li smiled bitterly, "If I could think of who did it, would I still come to you? But you asked me."

    After a pause, Zhang Li seemed to realize something and looked at Li Zhen in surprise, "Do you know?"

    Li Zhen smiled and said, "Of course I don't know, but I can speculate from the various entanglements of interests, and maybe I can get some clues."

    "I am willing to listen to the general's analysis."

    Li Zhen laughed, "You actually called me General. It seems you met Jiu Zhi at the door."

    After making a joke, Li Zhen said calmly: "Actually, Wu Youning's canonization as King of Yan has violated the vital interests of many people, such as Wu Sansi, the Li family, Princess Taiping, etc. But those who want to kill Wu Youning have  There are more, like Er Zhang, who has always been in deep conflict with Wu Youning, and the Wu clan members who hate Wu Youning, and even some Guanlong nobles he offended in Chang'an. As far as I know, the Dugu family once threatened that they would not let Wu Youning  Leave Luoyang alive."

    "You are absolutely right. The year before last, he sealed off the thirty-two granaries of the Dugu family to collect food for the army. The two sides were already at odds with each other. Do you think it was the Dugu family who did it?"

    "The Dugu family is just talking. If they had such courage, they would not have been hiding in Chang'an for so many years. They cannot be the Dugu family."

    "Then I'm really confused."

    Li Zhen laughed again and said: "Actually, the other party only stabbed Wu Youning to disability but not to death, which already showed some clues. First of all, we can rule out Wu Sansi. His people arrived late and were caught on the spot. Secondly, we can rule out Erzhang and the rest."  Wu clan members, if it were them, Wu Youning would definitely die and would not spare his life."

    "Is it the Li family?" Zhang Li understood a little bit.

    "I also think it's the Li family, but who will kill Wu Youning? He only stabbed Wu Youning but didn't kill him. He was merciful. Who do you think is the most likely?"

    Zhang Li bit his lip tightly. He thought of one person. She was the only one who would not really kill Wu Youning, and she was also an insider. Li Zhen knew that Zhang Li had figured it out, and smiled lightly: "Secondly, the assassin has been watching in Chang'an for a long time.  Wu Youning lives in Wu Youning. The reason why he took action in Shuangqiao Town was to frame Wu Sansi. This person was well-intentioned and had done similar things three years ago. This time he did it again. Unfortunately, Cao Wen would lose his chance to win the prime ministership.  opportunity."<p>

    Zhang Li looked at Li Zhen in confusion. He didn't understand the profound meaning of Li Zhen's words at all.

    In Taichu Palace, Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi hid near the palace, temporarily avoiding the furious Wu Zetian. The two of them had seen Wu Zetian angry many times, but they had never seen her so angry. It seemed that as long as she gave an order, everyone in the palace could  Everyone will be killed.

    Although Zhang really didn¡¯t want to provoke this angry old woman at this time, they knew that if they didn¡¯t persuade him, Wu Sansi would be completely ruined and their most important plan would be in vain.

    The two of them walked into Wu Zetian's palace with trepidation. At this moment, Xia Zhong came out of the palace secretly and whispered to the two of them: "Your Majesty is very dizzy. He is not angry for the time being."

    The two looked at each other and slowly walked into the palace.

    At this time, Wu Zetian had a splitting headache. She didn't want to be angry anymore, but thinking that all her years of hard work had disappeared overnight, how could she not feel pain in her heart and how could she not hate her to the bone. She had ordered Wu Youning's entourage and arrest  When Wu Sansi arrived, all his men were killed with sticks, and the garrison guard Zhao Wenlie was also dismissed from his post for investigation. However, it was still difficult to make up for the damage she suffered in her heart.

    Choosing Wu Youning as the heir to the throne was the result of her repeated consideration for many years. It was impossible for her to return the throne to the Li family. Only when the Wu family ascended the throne could she make history. However, the Wu family was really unable to support them, and only Wu Youning was left to give her a little help.  Satisfied, but this time, Wu Youning became disabled and she was completely desperate.

    Wu Zetian closed her eyes in agony and silently endured the severe pain in her head. At this time, she suddenly felt someone gently massaging her head. When she opened her eyes, she saw Zhang Changzong kneeling and massaging her head carefully.  Zhang Yizhi knelt aside and beat his legs.

    Wu Zetian was moved in her heart and couldn't help but sigh softly. These two favorites still loved her, and the anger in her heart slowly disappeared.

    At this time, Zhang Changzong said softly: "Since the case has already happened, it is useless for Your Majesty to be angry. Why not leave it to capable officers to investigate the case and bring the real murderer to justice?"

    Wu Zetian sighed slightly and said: "If Lai Junchen is still here, I believe he will find the real culprit for me. Only he can really consider for me. Other ministers are selfish!"

    Zhang Changzong was secretly happy and suggested in a low voice: "We recommend Wu Yizong to investigate this case. He is as smart and capable as Lai Junchen back then. Your Majesty might as well give it a try."

    &nbsp; Although Wu Zetian was upset, she was not confused. She knew the consequences of letting Wu Yizong investigate the assassination case. She closed her eyes and said for a long time: "I have ordered Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment to jointly investigate the case.  Let them check first! If they can¡¯t find the result, let Wu Yizong take over.¡±

    The two brothers bumped into a soft nail, and they were really unwilling to accept it. Zhang Yizhi said again: "Your Majesty, in fact, this case was obviously not done by King Liang. Why should your Majesty blame him?"

    "I know it wasn't him. If it was really him, I would have killed him long ago. But he also had bad intentions, didn't he? He also wanted to kill Wu Youning, but he was just a step too late. With his motive, he was cruel  What's the point of punishing him severely?"

    The Zhang brothers did not dare to say anything more. They originally wanted to recommend Cao Wen as prime minister to fill the vacancy left by Di Renjie's death, but in the current situation, they really can't do this. Let's wait and see!

    What makes the Zhang brothers even more frustrated is that Wu Sansi's punishment will inevitably keep him low-key for a period of time, which will cause their plan to encounter huge obstacles.

    Although they wanted to kill Li Zhen immediately, they also knew that the matter had to be postponed temporarily, and there was no rush.

    In the afternoon, Wu Youji got out of the carriage with tears on his face and walked into his house. Full of anger, he overcame his inner cowardice. He quickened his pace and walked towards Princess Taiping's study.

    "Get out of here!"

    Wu Youji kicked over the eunuch guarding the door and kicked open the study door. The room was in an ugly state. Gao Jian got up from Princess Taiping in disheveled clothes and looked embarrassed. Princess Taiping hurriedly  Pulling a blanket to cover her body, she glared at Wu Youji with an angry look on her face and screamed: "What are you doing in here?"

    Wu Youji glared at Gao Jian. Gao Jian sighed in his heart and walked out quickly, "Gao Lang!" Princess Taiping called him urgently. Gao Jian hesitated for a moment, but left the study without looking back.

    Princess Taiping was extremely angry. She grabbed the dress next to her and put it on quickly. She walked slowly in front of Wu Youji, suddenly raised her hand and slapped him hard, pointed outside and shouted: "Get out!"

    Wu Youji remained motionless, anger rising and falling in his chest. He no longer cared about this woman fooling around with men outside. They had reached an agreement more than ten years ago not to interfere in each other's private lives. He also had his favorite concubine, Wu Youji.  Youji didn't care about Princess Taiping's scandal, but he was angry that his brother's body was destroyed.

    He stared at Princess Taiping coldly, "Did you send someone to assassinate my brother?"

    "What are you talking about?"

    Princess Taiping rebuked with great annoyance: "Even you think it was me who sent people to assassinate him. Does your elder brother also think that it was me who sent people to kill him? What's the benefit of me killing him?"

    Wu Youji lowered his head, stared at her fiercely, and said word by word: "Because you are seeking that position, don't think I don't know."

    Princess Taiping was shocked. She quickly pulled Wu Youji into the room and closed the door. She lowered her voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, especially in front of outsiders. Otherwise, if I die, you and your children will be the same."  Neither can survive.¡±

    "I don't care what ambitions you have, but I'm asking you, why did you send someone to assassinate my eldest brother?"

    Princess Taiping sighed slightly and said calmly: "As I said just now, I did not kill your eldest brother. I had this plan originally, but the people I sent were in Xin'an County, but your eldest brother was killed in Shuangqiao Town.  Assassination, this damn bastard actually made many people suspect that I was the one who did it, and made me take the blame. Not only you, but even my mother suspected that I did it. "

    Speaking of this, Princess Taiping could not help but gritted her teeth and said: "If I find out who did it, I will crush him to ashes!"

    Wu Youji saw that his wife didn't seem to be faking it, and couldn't help but wonder, could it really not be her fault?

    But he couldn't let go of his face, and he thought that she had indeed sent someone to assassinate his eldest brother, which made him even more dissatisfied. He couldn't help but snorted loudly, turned around and left the study, and walked away.

    Princess Taiping did not stop her husband from leaving. She walked a few steps in the room with her hands behind her hands, looking a little upset. This assassin did a very clever job, maiming without killing. In this way, many people would think that  It was her Princess Taiping who did it, because she was the only one who would be taboo about the relationship between her husband's family and dare not kill them all. Which damn guy put the blame on her?

    There is no doubt that Wu Youning wanted to be crowned King of Yan, which also seriously violated her vital interests. For many years, she had taken it for granted that her mother's throne should be inherited by herself. She was the legitimate daughter of the royal family and the daughter-in-law of the Wu family. It was up to her to inherit the throne.  Succession to the throne can best balance the conflicts between Li and Wu.

    But Princess Taiping also knew in her heart that if she continuedShe will encounter unprecedented resistance in inheriting the throne. Even the Li and Wu families will unite against her, and the court ministers and civil forces will no longer hope for a female emperor to appear.

    Her mother was able to become the first female emperor in history, and she was completely successful. This undoubtedly greatly stimulated Princess Taiping and inspired her ambition. Her minions were all over the government and the public. Now she still needs to install someone in the political hall.  , there must be a prime minister who becomes his spokesperson.

    Now that there is an extra spot in the Political Affairs Hall, should she try her best to get Gao Jian into it?

    "But Princess Taiping also considered that the competition for the position of prime minister was too great and Gao Jian's advantage was not obvious. Maybe she should have a backup candidate.

    In addition, she must find out who assassinated Wu Youning and framed her.
