    Cao Wen has been living in the house of his father-in-law Wu Sansi these days. He has his own house and has invested in several shops in Nanshi. His life is very comfortable. However, his father-in-law is Wu Sansi, who is ambitious and single-minded.  If he wants to ascend the throne as emperor, Cao Wen will not be able to live a comfortable life.  At dusk, Cao Wen had just returned from the court. Before he could meet his wife, his father-in-law Wu Sansi asked someone to call him to the study. The weather was hot, and Cao Wen came to the study sweating profusely. He saw that Wu Sansi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.  , spinning around in the room.  "Father-in-law, what happened?" As soon as Cao Weng opened his mouth, Wu Sansi rushed forward and grabbed his wrist, "The situation is urgent, something serious is not going well!" "Father-in-law, please tell me slowly, what exactly happened  What's the matter?" Wu Sansi restrained his inner anxiety and said, "Just a quarter of an hour ago, Xia Zhong sent me a note. The Holy One is seriously ill and may not survive for long." Of course Cao Wen knew.  The Holy Emperor was ill and had been away from court for five days. He did not expect to be so seriously ill. He was secretly surprised, "Is the news accurate?"  "Cao Wen's thoughts suddenly changed. In this case, the only people vying for the throne are his father-in-law and Princess Taiping, but why has there been no news about Zhang Yizhi?  He thought for a moment and said, "Is Zhang Yizhi already partial to Princess Taiping?" "This is also what I'm worried about." Wu Sansi sighed, "The Holy One is seriously ill. Zhang Yizhi should have told me immediately, but he remained silent.  , It doesn¡¯t seem like they want to cooperate with me, and I heard that Zhang Changzong has a close relationship with Princess Taiping. I suspect that they have chosen Princess Taiping.¡± Cao Wen also knew that the Zhang brothers were betting on both sides, both supporting Princess Taiping and others.  Supporting Wu Sansi, the reason why they did not express their attitude for a long time was because they wanted to take a position at the last moment. The risk was the least for them, but they gave the risk to Wu Sansi and Princess Taiping.  Cao Wen thought for a moment and said: "I don't think the Zhang family will be so quick to favor Princess Taiping. They will definitely express their stance at the last moment. If my father-in-law puts his hopes on them, he will make a big mistake. We must rely on ourselves."  "I think so too. The key is what should we do?" Cao Wen took a few steps with his hands behind his back and said slowly: "Military power is the most important thing now. The five armies currently guarding the palace are Qianqiying and Yulin.  The army, Qianniu Guards, Prison Gate Guards and Internal Guards, among which Qianqi Camp is in the hands of Li Zhen, the General of the Yulin Army is Wu Youyi, the General of the Prison Guards is Wu Yizong, the General of the Internal Guards is Zhang Li, and the General of the Qianniu Guards is currently  There is a temporary vacancy. The two generals are Wu Yanji and Wu Chongxun. Which army does my father-in-law think we can get?" Wu Sansi thought about this question many times. He smiled bitterly and said: "Chongxun is my son, he will definitely support me?  , Wu Yanji is the son of Wu Chengsi. I know he will hate me to the core, but no matter what, I can definitely get the support of half a Qianniu Guard." Cao Wen shook his head, "Half a Qianniu Guard is not enough.  I am worried that Li Zhen will support Princess Taiping. Then Princess Taiping will have the support of Qianqiying and Neiwei. Qianniuwei is not their opponent at all. If my father-in-law wants to defeat Princess Taiping, he must win over Wu Yizong or Wu Youyi. If they two  If everyone is willing to support his father-in-law, then he is almost certain to take the throne. " "But Li Dan." Cao Wen shook his head, "That will happen in the future. After we ascend the throne and gain power, we will fight to the death with Li Dan. As long as we have superior troops, Li Dan.  "I will definitely lose." "Okay! How can I get Wu Youyi and Wu Yizong to support me?" "I just need to talk to them. After all, they are all from the Wu family. I believe they also know what will happen to them if Princess Taiping ascends the throne."  Wu Sansi finally nodded, "Then you go and talk to them on my behalf, and you can agree to all their conditions." Although there have been many changes in the palace and Wu Sansi's mansion, the palace of Princess Taiping is surprisingly calm.  As if this matter had nothing to do with her, she was like a snake, patiently waiting for the opportunity.  In the study, Princess Taiping is receiving a special guest, and her husband Wu Youji is also sitting beside her. Although Wu Youji doesn't care about anything, his identity represents another faction of the Wu family.  The special guest was Wu Chengsi¡¯s daughter Wu Furong. She originally hated Princess Taiping very much. When she was the deputy commander of the inner guard, she was kicked out by Princess Taiping before she even took up her position. She has always been resentful.  But today Wu Furong wants to turn the conflict into friendship, and she is not only representing herself, but also her entire family, including her brothers Wu Yanji, Wu Yanyi, Wu Yanshou, and Wu Yanguang.  "I am olderBrother is willing to support Her Royal Highness the Princess to inherit the throne. No matter what we want to know, what can we get in the future?  " Wu Yanji's statement made Princess Taiping extremely happy, but she was not surprised. Wu Chengsi could be said to have died in the hands of Wu Sansi. Wu Yanji would never help kill his father's enemies, and his husband was of the same faction as them, so Wu Yanji  Ji supported himself and everything went smoothly. Princess Taiping smiled and said: "You will get a lot in the future. First of all, everything about the Wu family belongs to you, and their property and lives are at your disposal. Secondly, I will make your brother a prince. As for  You, I will give you the title of princess.  " Wu Furong was silent for a moment and said: "My eldest brother has another request. He hopes that Wu Sansi's family will be handed over to him.  "Of course, as I just said, everything about the Wu family is at your disposal, including Wu Sansi."  " "Since the princess is sincere, then we will make an agreement.  " Princess Taiping smiled and said, "I want to know now, what are you going to do?  " Wu Furong took out a letter and handed it to her, "There is a detailed plan written by my eldest brother in it. The princess will know it at a glance.  "  Wu Furong said goodbye and left. Princess Taiping walked to the window with her hands behind her hands and stared at a lotus pond outside the window. The flowers were just beginning to form. Does it mean that she will finally ascend the throne? Although Princess Taiping is careful  She planned everything, but there were at least two obvious loopholes in the whole web she weaved. One is that she did not get Li Zhen's complete allegiance. Li Zhen only agreed to help her deal with the Wu family, but did not agree to support her as emperor.  Princess Taiping knew very well that Li Zhen still had a secret chess piece, and that was Li Chongjun. No one else knew where Li Chongjun was, but she knew that Li Zhen was in his hands. Once Li Zhen took control of the situation, he would probably.  Pushing Li Chongjun out and supporting Li Chongjun to ascend the throne is another loophole. So far, Zhang Jianzhi has remained silent, but Zhang Jianzhi is a die-hard supporter of Li Xian. So will Zhang Jianzhi do it?  Getting together with Li Zhen because of Li Chongjun is what Princess Taiping is most worried about. But no matter what, Wu Sansi is her number one enemy. Before solving Wu Sansi, she does not want to have internal strife with Li Zhen for the time being.  After solving Wu Sansi, let the Zhang brothers deal with Li Zhen and Zhang Jianzhi. £®  In a secret room, Zhang Jianzhizheng and Yao Chong discussed the current countermeasures. Among the seven prime ministers of Zhengshi Hall, the Zhang brothers and the Wu family occupied five. Zhengshi Hall had actually been lost, and they were unable to survive alone.  Not only did they represent themselves, but hundreds of court ministers and more local officials, and even the people of the world, a heavy burden fell on their shoulders. Seeing that the emperor was seriously ill and there was no prince in the court, the Zhang brothers usurped power.  , Wu family's relatives are pressing each other step by step, and the only one among the rich and powerful who can rely on the Li family is an ambitious woman, which makes the two of them feel helpless. "I went to the Luling Palace today.  " Zhang Jianzhi whispered: "The palace has been completely surrounded by Qianniu Guard soldiers. No one is allowed to enter the palace. I have not seen His Highness the King of Luling.  " "Even if you see it, what's the use?  " Yao Chong sneered and said: "I have advised you a long time ago that King Luling no longer cares about external affairs. He has been addicted to Buddhism for three years. All power is in the hands of Princess Wei. Even if he takes the throne, he will only be the second in command.  Just a queen, have you forgotten how the late emperor and your Majesty came to court together?  " "Shhh - don't talk nonsense.  "Zhang Jianzhi quickly stopped him. "There's nothing else that can't be said now. You and I both know that the Holy Emperor's death will not be long, but at this critical moment, His Royal Highness the Prime Minister was driven to Taiyuan again, and King Shouchun fell into their hands. Let us  what to do?  " Zhang Jianzhi's expression was very complicated. After a while, he whispered: "Maybe we can support the prince of Xingyi County.  "The king of Xingyi County is Li Chongjun. Since Wei's death, Li Chongjun has also lost contact with the outside world. Some people say that Li Chongjun was imprisoned in Luling Palace with his father, but others say that Li Chongjun is on the run.  , missing. But Yao Chong is the Prime Minister after all, and his mind is so sharp. He immediately heard what Zhang Jianzhi said, and he asked unambiguously: "Could it be that the Prince of Xingyi County is in Zhang Xiangguo's house.  Up?  " Zhang Jianzhi smiled, but did not answer the question. He looked at Yao Chong and said: "Now I have formed an alliance with General Li of the Qianqiying Camp. General Zhang Li of the Internal Guard has also clearly expressed his support for me, as well as Huan Yan.  Fan, Wang Tongjiao, Cui Xuanwei, Xue Si, Li Zhan, Yang Yuanyan, Jinghui and more than ten people all expressed their support for advancing and retreating with me.In the Tang Dynasty, did Yao Xiangguo decide to stay out of the matter?  " Yao Chong heard that even Huan Yanfan was standing with Zhang Jianzhi. He was extremely shocked and asked after a while: "Does Huan Yanfan also support the king of Xingyi County?  Zhang Jianzhi let out a long sigh and said: "We have always failed passively in the past. The reason is that we were too entangled in whether King Luling or King Xiang came to power. As a result, our power was dispersed. Now we do not consider who will do it for the time being."  Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, our goal this time is to overthrow the Wu family and safeguard the Li Tang Dynasty.  " Zhang Jianzhi took out an alliance letter from his arms and placed it in front of Yao Chong, "Is Yao Xiangguo willing to join?  " Yao Chong saw that the first person was Zhang Jianzhi and the second person was Li Zhen. He slowly picked up the pen and signed his name on it with trembling hands.
