Chapter 303 Substitution
Xiao Qingfang below only knew that he was someone Wu Zetian could trust.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, she actually became the most trusted minister of a different surname in Wu Zetian's heart.
Wu Zetian was like a mother, gently stroking her daughter's face.
"If Cunxi is my heaviest shield, then you are my sharpest spear!"
"There are things that Cunxi can't solve, but as long as you are here, you have ten thousand ways to solve them."
"When you are apart, each of you will have greater challenges. When you come together, there is nothing in this world that you cannot solve."
"The combination of my strongest spear and my strongest shield will be the most powerful guarantee for me to hold this position firmly."
"So, I hope you won't let anything happen to Cunxi no matter what."
"He is my only choice to replace Di Huaiying, and my only choice to fight against the Li clan and those who rebel against me."
Feeling the heat in Wu Zetian's eyes, Xiao Qingfang was stunned for a moment.
she was.
The eldest sister of Snake Spirit, the number one Snake Spirit after Yuan Tiangang, is actually so highly regarded by this emperor.
I really don't know if Wu Zetian would be so angry that she would die when her true identity was exposed and she raised the banner to destroy her.
"Your Majesty." Xiao Qingfang took a deep breath and saluted towards Wu Zetian. "I am willing to go through fire and water for your Majesty, to cut through thorns and brambles, and to climb mountains of swords and descend into seas of fire without hesitation!"
"Your words are more powerful than thousands of troops."
Wu Zetian's respect for her didn't seem to be acted.
The reason why Xiao Qingfang was so valued by Wu Zetian was that she had worked hard for him over the years.
Those words praising Xiao Qingfang were not false. This elder sister of Snake Spirit had devoted herself wholeheartedly to her position as the leader of the Inner Guard Palace over the years.
Perhaps only the emperor Wu Zetian knew how many civil and military officials in the court were offended by Xiao Qingfang.
If it weren't for the pressure from Wu Zetian, after Di Renjie was reinstated, he should have found a way to lead Zhang Jianzhi, Yao Chonghuan, Yan Fan and others to suppress the people in the Internal Guard House.
"Your Majesty, over there at Yingfei Pavilion..."
"Since she has been exiled to Fangzhou, let her keep an eye on Li Dan. It is not important whether Li Dan and she are trustworthy or not. Next, I have to deal with the quarrels between the civil and military officials in the court."
"Does the Inner Guard need to kill a group of them secretly?"
"Why should we get rid of them? Let them fight it out. I believe that the civil and military officials in the court have already divided their factions. I just don't know which faction Zong Qinke and Zong Chuke will join."
"The Imperial Censor and the Imperial Secretary will not be ungrateful. I'm just afraid they will try to protect themselves."
"No, they will definitely speak well of Cunxi, openly or secretly."
After being dragged by Wu Zetian to discuss the court situation for a long time, Xiao Qingfang was finally able to come out.
Su Xian'er, who was guarding outside Taichu Palace, came forward to greet her. The little loli was so soft and cute.
Su Xianer, who was like her own daughter, came up and held her hand, calling her "Big sister, big sister" sweetly.
"I've already told you that I won't argue with you if you call me Big Sister at home, but what should you call me outside?"
Xiao Qingfang pointed a finger at the little loli Su Xianer's nose and said unhappily.
"General Xiao."
Su Xianer shouted, then took Xiao Qingfang's arm and walked towards the carriage parked beside the palace wall.
Xiao Qingfang was praised by Wu Zetian again today and was in a good mood, so she let Su Xianer do whatever he wanted.
Normally, no one in the Snake Spiritual Sect was treated like Su Xian'er. They usually called her General Xiao or Grand Chamber Leader.
Only Su Xianer, the little loli she brought up to this day, would call her "big sister" in a soft and sweet voice, and she never avoids anyone.
After getting on the carriage, Xiao Qingfang rubbed Su Xianer's face and said, "Why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to stay in the mansion?"
"It's too boring in the mansion. I feel so stuffy. I'd better go out and have some fun. Luoyang is too prosperous. I walked around Tianjie several times and my stomach is so full."
"So you came out to eat and came to see me, right?"
"I'm here just to see my elder sister." Su Xianer hugged Xiao Qingfang's arm and shook it back and forth.
"Okay, come out if you want. It's not a big deal. But Luoyang has been in turmoil lately, so it's better for you to stay out less."
Xiao Qingfang sighed.
Judging from the current political situation, it would only take a few months for everyone to fight and bleed.
After all, most officials were promoted forcibly despite their lack of ability. It would be easy for something to happen to the officials promoted by Wu Sansi.
Now that the sons of the Wu family have started a war in the court, the quarrel will not last too long. Their next target will definitely be the disciples and former officials of the enemy and the evil slaves of the wealthy families.
In the past, it was common for Wu Sansi's servants to be tyrannical and bully the people, and Wu Chengsi's side would definitely not let them go.
Although they knew that Wu Chengsi and Wu Yizong would not let go, Wu Sansi, Wu Youji, Wu Youning, Wu Youde and others still could not control their own servants.
The reason is simple: their master is so damn awesome, how can they be worthy of their master if they don't act arrogantly?
On the other hand, although Wu Chengsi was also very arrogant and his servants used to be domineering, he suddenly stopped doing that in the past few years, and the servants became much more restrained.
If you compare the two, you will find that the servants of Wenchang Left Prime Minister Wu Chengsi have much better tempers than the servants of Wenchang Right Prime Minister Wu Sansi.
The same is true for students and former officials.
In the next period of time, Wu Chengsi's faction will definitely fight Wu Sansi's faction to death.
After Wu Sansi's side discovered that there was nothing wrong with Wu Chengsi's disciples, former officials, and household servants, they would definitely turn to the brothers Wu Yizong and Wu Sizong.
In the end, it's still a quarrel between the sons of the Wu family.
As for when the winner will be decided, it depends on how high an official position Li Cunxi can achieve after returning to the court.
Xiao Qingfang, who had figured everything out, secretly praised herself for being a veteran who had been in the officialdom for many years and had figured all of this out.
On second thought, I felt that Wu Zetian was just a big fool.
He actually regarded her, the leader of the Snake Spirits, the most famous traitor in the Wu Dynasty, and the descendant of Concubine Xiao Shufei, as his trusted and beloved general.
Laugh to death.
He turned around and stabbed Wu Zetian in the back, so that this woman would know that the knife he stabbed her in the middle of her eyebrows decades later.
……
Dengzhou.
Among the deep mountains.
Li Cunxi, who had already left Dengzhou and was heading for Tangzhou, quietly returned to Dengzhou.
If he couldn't find out the details of Yu Lei's death, he really wouldn't leave willingly.
So, the next day after leaving Dengzhou, he appeared in a county in Tangzhou. After having dinner with the county magistrate there, he spread the news that he would continue to walk secretly among the people.
Look, as he walked, he returned to Dengzhou.
The identities of several people in Lu Dayou have been exposed, so they naturally cannot be candidates for investigating the case.
Therefore, Li Cunxi could only let the internal guards secretly keep an eye on Yu Mansion, Chen Mansion and Bainiao Trading Company.
Looking at the sky that was about to darken, Li Cunxi sighed.
“You are so patient.”
