The sky gradually turned white.

A new day is about to begin.

When the bell and drum tower ringed several times, the entire Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty woke up from his deep sleep.

In the Zichen Hall.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi, rubbed his tired eyes and sat on his warm seat with the help of Wang Fusheng.

Today is not the day of the court, but there are still endless memorials and endless state affairs.

In addition to state affairs, what made him anxious was the prince's body.

Crown Prince Li Hong is his next monarch whom he wants and has been carefully trained over the years.

His health is getting worse and worse. The prince is the hope for the future of the Tang Dynasty.

But now, the prince's body is in trouble.

If the prince has something to do, the country will be shaken.

How can this country be stable?

Thinking of the sick look of the prince yesterday, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel ache.

I didn't even want to read the memorial in front of me.

Wu Meiniang is also involved in the matter of the prince these days, except for the court meeting, and she regularly participates with Li Zhi, and she usually stays by the prince Li Hong.

Li Hong rubbed his eyebrows and sighed secretly.

"Your Majesty~"

Outside the hall, an eunuch came in and saluted and said, "Shaoqing of Dali Temple, a bad commander in Chang'an County, Su Dawei asked for a visit."

"Um?"

Li Zhi was a little surprised: "Why did he come so early?"

After thinking about it, it seemed that Su Dawei had something to look for him yesterday, but he had not had time to say it.

Thinking of this, he nodded: "Let him come in."

It's also a strange thing.

On weekdays, Su Dawei seemed to be hiding and refused to enter the palace at any time.

If others have this relationship with Wu Mei, it would be strange if they cannot break the threshold of the palace ban.

But Su Dawei is different from others.

It was not summoned by Li Zhi or Wu Meiniang, he rarely entered the palace on his own initiative.

This time it was abnormal, and it seemed that something was really wrong.

Thinking in his mind, Li Zhi focused on opening the first memorial in front of him.

This is his habit. After years of imperial career, reading memorials is the best way to calm your mind.

As soon as I read the lines, I heard a eunuch in front of me circling, and then Su Dawei's voice came.

"My memory, Su Dawei, I have met Your Majesty. I wish Your Majesty good health and longevity."

Li Zhi then looked up and pulled his eyes from the memorial to Su Dawei.

At first glance, Li Zhi was a little surprised.

Su Dawei seemed a little haggard.

My hair is a little messy, not like I used to combed it meticulously.

The stubble on the chin is clearly visible.

His expression was a bit bad, too.

"Ami, although I ordered you to investigate the case, you should also pay attention to your body. You are the minister I rely on. If the future prince ascends the throne, I still need you to guard the frontiers for the Tang Dynasty and appease the four barbarians."

This is also Li Zhi’s rare heartfelt words.

However, Su Dawei also heard another meaning from it.

Ducha Temple, no words are mentioned.

Did Li Zhi use this seemingly encouragement, or a carrot in front of him, to remind Su Dawei to hand over the authority of Ducha Temple?

These thoughts flashed through his mind.

Su Dawei crossed his hands and said, "Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Tang Dynasty needs Your Majesty, and I... are a brick of the Tang Dynasty. Whatever Your Majesty needs me, I will do whatever I want me."

Attitude, attitude is the first priority.

Let’s not talk about the authority of Ducha Temple for now. If there is any problem with the attitude, Li Zhi’s current decisive killing is now.

Even Changsun Wuji cannot save it.

What's more, Su Dawei.

The best way to retreat is to advance.

Su Dawei's words obviously satisfied Li Zhi very much.

The Emperor of Tang Dynasty, stroking his hand on the table, laughed twice, coughed and gasped for a moment, pointed at Su Dawei and said, "Ami, you are more and more able to speak now, you are cunning."

"Ami's loyalty to His Majesty is a testament to the sun."

Su Dawei flattered him again and said, "I am asking you to see Your Majesty today. Because I encountered a difficult task, I ask Your Majesty to make the decision for me."

"oh?"

Li Zhi was still a little surprised. In his impression, Su Dawei never made any requests.

A person who bows his head to do things.

Today the sun came out from the west. Not only did he put his attitude very low, but he also asked him to make the decision?

Li Zhi's eyes flashed, he put away his smile and nodded: "Let me tell you, I have your own decision."

"yes."

Su Dawei hugged and clasped his fists.

"This matter is related to Princess Gaoyang's case."

"It's related to Gao Yang?"

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Have you found clues about the person behind the scenes? Or is it that someone obstructed the case?"

“Yes, not.”

Su Dawei slowed down his speech, as if he said word by word: "I have indeed had new clues, and this person is something that I dare not touch, so I can only ask for your Majesty."

"Ha, who else can you, Su Dawei, dare not move? In this court, except me and Mei Niang, you..."

Li Zhi's voice suddenly stopped.

He reacted, his eyes fell on Su Dawei, and said in a deep voice: "What are you talking about, is the Prime Minister?"

“That’s right.”

Su Dawei crossed his hands and continued: "It is the Minister of the Central Committee Li Yifu."

After saying this, the entire Zichen Palace fell into a dead silence.

The eunuchs and palace maids who were serving Li Zhi were all secretly shocked.

Although he stood still, his eyes were unconsciously turned to Su Dawei.

Li Zhi, who was sitting on the upper seat, was quiet for a while.

His eyes, with coldness and scrutiny, stared at Su Dawei and said no words for a long time.

It seemed that Li Zhi was judging and thinking about whether what Su Dawei said was really true or because he smelled his own plans for Ducha Temple, he dealt with Li Yi Mansion in advance.

If it was the latter, then Su Dawei would have a greater threat than he imagined.

Must be removed.

A trace of blood rose in Li Zhi's eyes.

After a long time, his hand gently stroked the armrest of the big chair.

The handrail was touched by him habitually and had already been patellared and smooth and shiny.

Li Zhi said, "Zhongshu Ling, he is indeed of high power. Please tell me in detail what is his relationship with this case?"

This sentence is faintly filled with doubt.

It’s not that Li Zhi just trusts Li Yi’s mansion so much.

But normal people will doubt Su Dawei's intention and motivation.

As the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, Li Yifu has no grievances with Gao Yang. Why does it take for him to destroy his future and involve Gao Yang's case?

Unreasonable.

Su Dawei sorted out his thoughts and said slowly and solemnly: "This matter starts with the pillow of the late emperor."

"The pillow of the late emperor?"

Li Zhi was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that this matter would involve Emperor Taizong Li Shimin.

This made him feel aroused to pursue the truth, raised his voice and said, "Speak."

"yes."

Su Dawei turned his head and thought, "That was still the case during the Yonghui period. I was entrusted by Empress Wu to check the case of Yiai and Princess Gaoyang's rebellion... Jinbao divine pillow, according to Master Xuanzang, has a curse.

Later, I placed the treasure pillow at the mage's place.

But the mage said that time was long and could no longer be traced.

Later, I forgot to ask the mage for asking for the treasure pill.

I almost forgot about this.

Until yesterday, a monk from Dacien Temple came to find the minister..."

Su Dawei explained the cause and effect of this matter to Li Zhi in detail.

Until last night, I sneaked into the prime minister's mansion and saw Li Yi's mansion pillowing on the Jinbao divine pillow in Li Yi's mansion.

Li Zhi's face finally changed subtly.

Su Dawei saw it at first sight and knew that he had bet right.

In front of Li Zhi, he said without any concealment that he had sneaked into the prime minister's mansion, which was very dangerous.

It is likely that Li Zhi would end the power of Su Dawei's minister of the Ducha Temple in advance.

However, judging from Li Zhi's reaction, Su Dawei's speculation was confirmed.

Li Zhi didn't know that the treasure pillow was in the hands of Li Yi Mansion, and he didn't know that Li Yi Mansion was so ruthless that he not only collected the Golden Treasure Pillow privately, but also used it himself.

This pillow was given to Princess Gaoyang by Emperor Taizong.

It is a royal treasure.

As a minister, how could you use this treasure no matter how high your position is?

Or is it that Li Yifu’s ambition is no longer willing to be a mere prime minister? That’s why he is so successful!

Li Zhi was still thinking.

With the matter of Baozhen, Li Yi’s mansion is dead.

But whether to cure the crime or multiple crimes depends entirely on Li Zhi’s thoughts.

Specifically, it depends on whether Li Yifu is useful to Li Zhi.

This person is quite capable and skilled. With him, many dirty work can be done by him.

Ruo Wu Meiniang is the ****** of Li Zhi, the inner court.

Then a minister like Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong were Li Zhi's counterparts to the outside dynasty.

All have their functions.

Li Zhi did not doubt what Su Dawei said about the treasure pillow.

This matter is easy to verify.

With Su Dawei's intelligence, there is no reason to lie about this matter.

Su Dawei, standing in the hall, was quietly observing Li Zhi's reaction.

Seeing that he didn't speak immediately, he knew in his heart that Li Zhi was hesitating and weighing the pros and cons.

In the final analysis, the treasure pillow was a thing of Taizong of the previous dynasty.

This is not Li Zhi's reverse scale, nor can it be directly involved in Princess Gaoyang's case.

So Su Dawei decided to go further.

He cleared his throat, attracted the attention of Li Zhi in the palace, and spoke: "Your Majesty, I have another discovery last night."

“What discovery?”

"The Secretariat hidden in the mansion of the Central Secretariat."

As soon as the word "Tianjia" came out, the air in the entire Zichen Palace instantly condensed.

It seemed as if in an instant, the air entered the extremely cold hell.

Li Zhi's voice seemed to be coming from a very far place, cold: "Take it serious?"

Su Dawei felt a strong murderous intent emanating from Li Zhi.

He was shocked and quickly knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said, "I dare not speak nonsense. If there is any falsehood, I will be punished for death."

After saying this, the entire hall was silent for a long time.

The palace was full of courage and courage, such as Wang Fusheng and others.

Hidden armor means that there is iron armor and armor hidden.

The Tang Dynasty system could have powerful tools such as horizontal swords, but there were two things that could never be touched.

One is a crossbow used in the army.

The second is iron armor.

Iron armor, equivalent to the bulletproof vest of later generations, is a forbidden object.

This point was similar to that of America in later generations.

You can play with guns, but you cannot have a bulletproof vest.

Of course, the Tang Dynasty was even more serious, and privately hiding armor was equivalent to plotting against rebellion.

What else can you do if you are a normal minister who has privately kept your weapons and armor?

It is enough to prepare horizontal swords and shields for ordinary guards.

As early as the Wude period of the Tang Dynasty, when Prince Jiancheng and Qin King Li Shimin competed for the throne, he made a fool of himself, and sent the Eastern Palace General Erzhu Huan and the Wei Qiao Gongshan to send a batch of armor to Yang Wengan, the governor of Qingzhou, to help him arm the army well in preparation for emergency needs.

As a result, Li Shimin stabbed Li Yuan in one go.

A huge political shock caused.
