Li Dan went to see Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian was drowsy and coughed all night. When he got up, he felt dry. He only felt his mouth dry and he was desperately trying to drink tea.

An eunuch came in in a few steps: "Empress Wei from Longmen asked for a meeting."

Li Dan just stood aside without showing any expression.

Wu Zetian shook his head and said, "Let them not come in the future." After pondering for a moment, he added: "I am not dead yet."

The eunuch was busy.

Li Dan looked at the eunuch's back and said, "The Queen Mother's words are serious. Wei is also worried about the Queen Mother's body, so why should we keep people from thousands of miles away?"

Wu Zetian ate tea calmly: "This woman is not simple."

After saying that, he seemed to have no interest in this matter anymore, so he changed his subject: "Let the moon get married, right in the middle of the moon?"

"Yes, there are seven days left." Li Dan replied with a smile. Wu Zetian was talking about this every day, which shows how important it is to marry a lower-class marriage in Wu Zetian's heart. Of course, Li Dan did not dare to neglect it. Now marrying a lower-class marriage has become the top priority for him.

Wu Zetian sighed: "At that time, I married her to the Xue family, but it was a matter of love. The Xue family's child was indeed not a good thing, but at that time, I was leveraging the power of the Xue family. After all, the Xue family was a military family and had too much reputation in the army. This time... I hope I won't be wrong again." She frowned: "If I could fulfill this wish, I should have retreated bravely."

The four words "Storm Retreat" mentioned Li Dan's heart. He thought to himself, what is the mother's words "Storm Retreat"? Did she simply abdicate and give the throne to herself?

Thinking of this, he was a little unbelievable, but he couldn't hide his excitement.

But I heard Wu Zetian say, "Dan'er, what about Qin Shaoyou?"

"Ah..." Li Dan didn't know why his mother asked this question, and he was so busy that he came back to his senses. He thought for a while: "This person is talented and extraordinary, and he is praised both inside and outside the court and the country."

Wu Zetian shook her head: "I am not asking about his official voice."

This is what Li Dan thinks about Qin Shaoyou.

Li Dan knew very well that his mother was going to marry Yuexia, which was an absolute recognition of Qin Shaoyou, so he smiled and said, "He has always been a little bit of a grudge against his sons..." This is the truth. Li Dan knew that his mother was a man with a hole like a candle, so it was obviously extremely unwise to hide these things. This would only give the suspicious mother a false impression. Then Li Dan said, "But this person is indeed very talented, and the court cannot live without him."

Wu Zetian smiled and seemed to be satisfied with this answer.

Li Dan did not exaggerate his love for Qin Shaoyou emotionally, but instead stood on weighing interests to illustrate the importance of this person. This did not deceive his mother, but also eliminated his mother's worries about him.

Wu Zetian said oh and said casually: "It seems you don't like him."

Li Dan smiled: "Don't the Queen Mother also like Cui Feng?"

This sentence is a bit bold.

But this is also true. Wu Zetian doesn't like Cui Xu and thinks that this person is too old and there is nothing wrong with being old. However, Wu Zetian knows very well that on the surface, although Li family is the insistence of Di Renjie and others, people with discerning eyes know that this is inseparable from Cui Xu who stands behind Di Renjie and others, just like playing chess. Wu Zetian and Cui Xu are chess pieces players, and Li Xian, Di Renjie, Wu Sansi and others are all chess pieces.

Li Dan meant that Your Majesty did not like Cui Xu, but Cui Xu was still the prime minister. Most of his clans' children occupied the land of Jinyao. Even his clan's brother Cui Xu had just been promoted to the Secretariat of the Secretariat, and was the same as Di Renjie. Secretariat of the Secretariat, and was considered the deputy prime minister. Not only that, Cui Xuanwei, another Cui family, has now become the Secretariat of the Heavenly Officials. The so-called Tianguan is the Ministry of Personnel. The selection of officials in the Ministry of Personnel is an extremely important position. Although his status is under the Three Provinces, its importance is obviously not low. In the future, he will definitely enter the Three Provinces and preside over the world.

The three members of the Cui family may not be close to each other, but the Cui family has always been in the same spirit. Now the Cui family has formed a horn-like situation. Two are the chief and deputy prime ministers who handle the world's government affairs. One is the heavenly official of the Ministry of Personnel, who promotes officials, and in addition, there are countless children who serve as servants, officials, and even many governors, and county magistrates act as wings. Such kindness is really beyond my mind.

What Li Dan wanted to say is that Your Majesty does not like the Cui family, and even has always disliked the Guanlong family, but so what? They are still all the most powerful ministers, because Your Majesty only needs them.

The same is true for me. I may not like Qin Shaoyou, but I need Qin Shaoyou. Feelings cannot maintain the relationship between the monarch and the subject, only interests.

This theory is appropriate in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations, it became a traitor.

At least...Wu Zetian couldn't help but ask again after hearing this.

She closed her eyes: "After taking care of you these days, you are more filial than Xian'er. Although he has a kind heart, he is filial, but he hides it in his heart and I can't see it. You have done all the loyalty and filial piety of the ministers and sons of men. You have a bad face. Let's rest these days. When Ling Yue gets married, there are still the two brothers who are busy."

She glanced at Li Dan deeply: "A big deal, I will suppress it first, and wait until Ling Yue gets married."

This sentence is obviously a hint.

Li Dan thought about it, but he did not dare to show any joy.

My mother should mean that when the marriage is settled, it is time to solve the problem of her status. Di Renjie has already taken it and is still in prison. Next, he should make a move.

When he came to this point, Li Dan pretended not to understand, but just said obediently: "My son is leaving."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

At this time, Li Dan did not take care of the matter of the imperial guards, but returned to Changle Palace.

He was so tired that he had worked hard these days, and I don’t know how much hard work he had done. Now, he was finally satisfied, because he saw that all the hard work would be rewarded.

However, after he entered the palace, an eunuch looked out. Li Dan recognized him. This eunuch was a minion in the inner court, named Wang Zheng. His name was very grand, but he was a little unlucky. He was in charge of candles and was responsible for lighting in Changle Palace. However, Li Dan was just a little cautious in the first place and used a lot of money on this person. Gradually, Wang Zheng was bought by him.

Li Dan entered the hall tiredly. Seeing that he was still outside and refused to leave, he whispered: "Come in."

Wang Zheng tiptoed in, then smiled and said, "Your Highness, slave..."

Li Dan waved his hand and said kindly: "What are you saying, but it's okay. Now you are not on duty, why are you here?"

Wang Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "I have something big to tell you."

Li Dan looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then said, "Big thing, what big thing can you do?" He smiled and did not dare to neglect it in his heart.

Wang Zheng said seriously: "I heard a news that was only privately circulated. It was said by the people from the Inner Palace after drinking. I felt that it was a major issue. After thinking about it, I should let Your Highness know in case of an accident."

Li Dan frowned. The Inner Palace Bureau is a unique eunuch institution. As the name suggests, it manages the Inner Palace, but the problem is that there are many things in the Inner Palace, so they care about everything, but they don’t care about anything.

"you say."

Wang Zhengdao: "The key to the inner palace bureau is Chen Huazi. He had a drink a few days ago. He secretly said that someone had come to find him, and the person who was looking for him came from the Right Taurus Guard."

Li Dan frowned even deeper. The right Taurus Guard was one of the twenty imperial guards. The Wenxuan Gate was always guarding the Wenxuan Gate. The Wenxuan Gate was not a particularly important place, so the right Taurus Guard's status in the imperial guards was naturally a little worse. Of course, the general of the Taurus Guard was named Wu Chongxun. This person was previously the general of the general of the Tuangjie Camp. Later, the Tuangjie Camp was abolished and was transferred to the Taurus Guard. Therefore, the Taurus Guard was controlled by the Wu family.

The people from the Wu family found the eunuch who was in charge of the inner palace.

Li Dan narrowed his eyes: "What did that man said when he was looking for him?"

"I don't know the specific one, but I know that the man has used a lot of money, so that Chen Huazi has been very generous in recent times. Even if he plays with others, he is also very betting. He looks down on the ordinary few hundred dollars. Sometimes he gets drunk. He also reveals that when the princess gets married, there will definitely be a good show. Who in the world is the decision, and it's still unclear."

Li Dan was immediately alert.

Obviously, he smelled a trace of danger. The Wu family...the key...the Golden Bull Guard...the marriage...

Could it be... Someone is going to be anxious?

Li Dan didn't show any expression, but pondered for a long time. He suddenly smiled and said, "It's a good thing. In fact, I am afraid that they won't come. The mayfly shakes the tree and the mantis blocks the car. This is a way to die."

He cheered up his spirits, without any fear in his heart, but said: "Wang Zheng, the one named Chen, try your best to contact and make more words. As for the others, let me give it to me. I will have your own benefits in the future. I will not promise you easily, but since I promise you, I will not let you down."
