Chapter 424 Prince, go well ([-])
But Wang Hua wasn't nervous at all, at least there wasn't any nervousness on his expression.

I don't know who instructed someone to write this letter. This person's intelligence is unimaginable. Based on some clues, the judgment is very close to the truth.

Wang Hua thought of His Royal Highness Xiangwang who lived at home.

Only this person has this intelligence and resources.Wisdom alone is not enough. There are not many smart people in the entire Tang Dynasty, so you have to have strength, get all kinds of information, and then use these insider information that ordinary people can't see to judge, in order to guess the truth of the matter.

Combining the two, Li Dan is the only one.Webster's is also not good enough, not because she is not strong enough, but because her resourcefulness can't keep up.

Li Dan, Li Dan, why are you pushing so hard!
Wang Hua sighed secretly in his heart, and said slowly: "Queen, do you really think that what is written in this letter is true? First of all, let's talk about the weapon case. If you want to sneak into the palace, I don't have the ability to sneak into the consort's mansion." Not only Weichen, but there are at least four or five guards in Weichen's house who can sneak in without anyone noticing. But this is not murder, but digging a big hole in the ground and burying weapons in it. If something like this happens Big news, if the servants in the Prince Consort’s Mansion don’t know about it, Queen, would you believe it?”

"Wang Qing, don't be tricky. At that time, the ministers were confused. Afterwards, the staff of King Dejing's family found out that someone dug an underground tunnel and entered the son-in-law's mansion, and then buried the weapons in it to blame the son-in-law."

Wang Hua lost his mind slightly, it seems that there are also capable people in Wu Sansi's residence, and they saw the flaw so quickly.He still didn't panic, and said: "Even if someone digs a tunnel to set the blame, where did I get so many weapons? If it's bows and arrows, Queen, you might know a little bit, because overseas risks are huge, and my family's fleet is full of weapons. There are some bows and arrows, but the number is limited, and they are only used for self-defense of the fleet. In the past few months, in order to collect food, I have felt that there is a lack of weapons. What about the Mo knife?"

The most famous weapon in the Tang Dynasty in history was the Modao, which weighed more than 50 catties (220 grams per catty in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which means it is equivalent to more than 20 catties now).Don't think it's not heavy, at least it's not as heavy as Wang Hua's hammer.But its length reaches three meters, which is what makes it scary.When the enemy came on horseback, the infantry lifted it up, forming a wall of swords, and any horse's leg hit the point of the sword and was injured.Therefore, this small three meters has become a death zone for enemy cavalry.

But it was still popular at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and then gradually disappeared, and there are also reasons for it. More than 20 kilograms is not too heavy, but the soldiers are not holding it in their arms, but only holding the rear end for such a long distance. It is conceivable how much strength it takes.Therefore, it was not easy for Bi Wang Hua to mention the pair of big hammers.Later, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers declined, and the Mo knife became a decoration.Also, to deal with the enemy's fine cavalry, good iron was needed, which was eliminated in the Song Dynasty.

This is also the most strictly controlled weapon in the Tang Dynasty. Wang Hua only ordered people to cast it during the prosperous period, and reported it to Wu Zetian.But when defending the city, it did play a role. As long as the force is strong enough, the knife will sweep down like an oversized chainsaw.Later, the Scarlet Battalion was dominated by cavalry, and this weapon disappeared.Moreover, the general army seldom uses this fierce weapon, without combat power and physical strength, no matter how fierce the Mo Dao is, it is just a decoration, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Therefore, relying on the power he put on the surface, Wang Hua is not capable of getting so many Mo Dao.

"Wang Qing, if Gu knew how you obtained these Mo Dao, Gu would not even appreciate your wisdom."

Are you praising me, or trying to frame me?Wang Hua couldn't help slandering in his heart.

"Empress, this minister is loyal to the emperor and the empress, and he can't impose a crime on the minister, so there is nothing wrong with it."

"Wang Qing, you don't need to be nervous. Gu is not angry. On the contrary, the more resourceful you are, the more Gu will appreciate it. Besides, your relationship with Bao'er, Gu should be closer to you."

close?Although Webster's appearance is beautiful, it's impossible not to admit it. He is in his forties, but he is just like a flower, which is blooming to its brightest, and it doesn't look like it is about to wither at all.But thinking of her character, Wang Hua also had goosebumps all over her body.Not only her, even Lao Wu wanted to get close to him, he would not be happy.And it can't be underestimated, she won't be angry, if I really listen to her, come down and give it a try!
But Wang Hua never felt oppressive towards this woman.He continued to explain calmly: "Okay, even if I had the chance to get the Modao. But the letter said that I deliberately let my subordinates stab me and put the blame on King Dejing. The queen is the noble body of heaven. , may not be very proficient in the matter of warfare, but you can ask the soldiers in the palace. If it is a short-bladed confrontation, although it is risky, it can be avoided. But when you use a bow and arrow, you still shoot ten arrows at once. At that time, the minister did not What kind of situation would it be like to be on guard, only wearing a commoner garment, without even wearing a decent weapon? If the Queen thinks that the minister dared to take such a risk in order to frame King Dejing. Then Wei Chen also has nothing to say. There is also the matter of New Year's Eve, the same Wei Chen still said that, Wei Chen has little knowledge, no way to explain it, let alone create such a disturbance."

"Then you think that's a real sign?"

"Queen, I don't know. But it's not a guess. If it was a sign of heaven, King Dejing would not have been killed by the Crown Prince so soon. What's the reason? Li Xuejun in my house studied under the Daomen of Shangqing, and he also mastered some Taoism But these days I am also confused. But there is no limit to the sea of ​​learning, so much knowledge, Wei Chen was mainly self-study when he was young, and there are many things he didn’t know, which is not surprising. And during this time, I closed Not going out is because I want to stay out of the matter and don't want to participate in the court struggle. The grievances with King Dejing are also because King Dejing wants to take advantage of the Song brothers to attack me. I have no choice but to fight back."

"Yeah, you are staying behind closed doors, but Gu thought of another person, and it seems that he has also started to stay behind closed doors at home."

She was referring to Li Dan, and Wang Hua had no choice but to say: "Queen, I still say the same thing. I just want to do more practical things for the country and the court, and I don't want to participate in those ugly disputes for rights. I don't understand what the queen is referring to." Who is the other person. But the humble minister will always be the humble minister, with a humble background and weak power. If it weren't for the humble minister Meng Lang, who didn't know the severity of his actions and made some people afraid, the humble minister would have died many times. Now the emperor is lucky to treat the humble minister It is considered very important, and the princess favors her again, and the family is reunited, and I feel very satisfied."

Don't compare me with Li Dan, they are different in nature, strength and status.

"But Your Majesty is honest and honest, and I don't know the insidiousness and cunning of a certain person. If this person is not eliminated, I am afraid that it will be a serious problem for the court. Maybe he wrote this letter. I wonder if Wang Qing is willing to help His Majesty alone?"

She thought about it with Wang Hua, but Wang Hua still didn't quite understand, if it was written by someone instructed by Li Dan, what was Li Dan's intention in doing so?After all, he is Qingliu, and with his wisdom, he should be able to guess that he will not take the initiative to follow Webster, at least he will not be Webster's minion.There is no need to deal with yourself.For Webster's request, Wang Hua would not take the initiative to agree.Even when I have to deal with Li Dan, I can't be Webster's vicious dog, and Webster's left behind.If something happened, I didn't have the close relationship between Wu Sansi and her, so I would immediately push the responsibility on myself.

Are you stupid?

He immediately replied: "Queen, I still say the same thing, I am willing to be a lone minister between your majesty and the queen, but I don't want to participate in the battle."

"Gu will not force you. But will someone let you go? You can think about it slowly. But I heard you say that you want to do something for His Majesty and Gu. There is one thing for you to do now. Since Germany King Jing was killed by evil barriers, which shows that the prophecy and the signs of heaven were deliberately done. Therefore, His Majesty and Gu Xiang want to restore King Dejing's innocence, and these two major cases will only be ordered by His Majesty to let you investigate."

Let me investigate?Wang Hua was slandering again, but he immediately said: "If the empress wants me to investigate this case wholeheartedly, I am willing to accept the order. But as for the matter on New Year's Eve, because I can't figure it out, I dare not promise the empress accurately. No results of the investigation."

"Oh, the Huazhou curse case is also unpredictable. The treasure case has been in the past for more than a year. Even the matter of the announcement is so secret. You have been living at home, and you have obtained many clues. Is it really as written in the letter? Because it is you I did it, so I dare not investigate?"

Wang Hua fainted, and cursed the person who wrote the letter in his heart.

But facing Webster, he didn't struggle, and suddenly he had an idea and said: "Queen, if I must investigate these two cases, I can agree, but I have to ask the queen for someone to help me investigate together."

"Who is it?" Webster was overjoyed.Originally, he deliberately made things difficult for Wang Hua, but he didn't expect Wang Hua to agree.

"Princess An Le."

"Zuo'er?" Webster said in surprise, and then fell silent.She couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Wang Hua's gourd, because Li Chongjun was invited in the last disaster relief, and two shocking cases were found out.Or now Wang Hua really has some clues, and these clues involve many people, so he asked Bao'er for help?
So she made a haha ​​and said: "I have to wait for Gu to go back and ask His Majesty for permission. It's getting late, and Gu is going back to the palace."

Wang Hua struggled again, stood up and said: "Queen wait a minute, let the minister and the princess respectfully send the queen back to the palace. Moreover, your Majesty was hit by this incident, and the minister also advised the princess to return to the palace for a while. Comfort Your Majesty."

This suited Webster's mind, and she didn't think of anything else, so she agreed immediately.

Wang Hua called Li Bao'er and Mu Zili into the room, and advised Li Bao'er a few words.After all, they are connected by flesh and blood, and her father loves her very much, so Li Bao'er agreed.But after Li Gu'er left the room, Wang Hua didn't come out at the same time, and gave Mu Zili a few words of advice before leaving the room under Mu Zili's suspicious eyes.

It was already afternoon at this time, and the palace was still very chaotic, with many officials taking out Li Chongjun's henchmen in the Habayashi Army and burying dead bodies.The bodies of Wu Sansi and his son were also found and placed inside the coffin. Li Xian and a group of ministers were standing silently in front of the coffin.He had a gloomy expression, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

Wang Hua stretched out his head to look. If he hadn't seen Li Xian standing in front of the coffin, he wouldn't have been able to tell that they were Wu Sansi and his son.Because the death was so miserable, he was dragged for a long distance by war horses, and many stones and tiles were smashed by the people, and then he was beheaded, so he couldn't recognize his original appearance.

Li Bao'er stepped forward and took Li Xian's hand, Li Xian glanced at it, and just said lightly: "Zuo'er, you are back."

Then he remained silent, showing that he was in a bad mood.

Wang Hua would not commit such a foolishness, stand behind the ministers, and then leave the imperial city when everyone is not paying attention.

Back home, it was dark. Although the people in the city were very nervous, the Wang family was very happy.

Not only the Wang family was happy, but many ministers were also very happy. The scourge of Wu Sansi finally disappeared.I can live a peaceful life in the future.Of course, a few wise ministers didn't think so, and they also saw that Wu Sansi was one of the two tigers, and it was a ferocious male tiger that died.And there is a more insidious tigress safe and sound in the imperial city.The tigress lived on the minister for a day, and the disaster has not yet passed.

The people were also rejoicing, but many people didn't know the inside story, thinking of Li Chongjun's kindness during the disaster relief, and besides Wu Sansi, some people quietly offered incense to Li Chongjun at home to bless Li Chongjun escaped safely.

After dinner, Wang Hua called Mu Zili into the room, then closed the door, and asked, "Have you finished the task you entrusted?"

"It's all done," Muzili replied, but immediately asked him, "Erlang, why did you do this?"

Wang Hua recounted the conversation he had with Webster just now, and Mu Zili said worriedly, "Could it be that the queen wants to attack you?"

"No, Wu Sansi is her right-hand man. She was killed this time, which hit her hard. As you said, she has ambitions, so she is worried that the ministers in the court will oppose her. Especially the king of Xiang, it also makes her feel incomprehensible. Therefore, I hope that I will rely on her. And this letter also disturbed her, so I came to my house. But I have already released her doubts, and did not express any objection to her. So for the time being, she will not I reject it. But because I don't want to be used by her, I won't be reused by her."

He directly said that she had the right to appoint, but Li Xian was ignored by him.But Wang Hua must dispel her suspicion, although this letter alone cannot conclude that Wang Hua is guilty.But it made her suspicious that her marriage with Li Bao'er would be hindered first, and she was hostile to herself, which was not a good thing for Wang Hua.

"But what if she really asked you to investigate those two cases?"

"Probably not. She is also afraid that I will be involved in more matters. If she really asks Li Xian to order me to investigate the case, then I will insist on letting Bao'er accompany me to investigate the case, and then take advantage of Bao'er's influence, Dong Check, check here and there, keep poking the hornet's nest, and finally she will take the initiative to ask me to stop the investigation. But Webster's menacing, we have to plan ahead."

When Wang Hua said this, he suddenly took out a copper coin and threw it into the air.

Originally, he had hoped to send troops to succeed last year, so taking advantage of this general situation and taking charge of the government, he could not only marry Li Bao'er, but also help Li Xian to make some political achievements.At least he won't be beaten into a drowning dog by Wu Sansi as quickly as the five kings.

When he was in Huazhou, he still had this idea.After defeating Wu Sansi, Webster must find another backbone against Li Dan.You will also stand out yourself.But now it seems that Li Xian is a complete wimp, and Webster's ambition is too big.I just rely on her, so it may not be reliable.

But when this letter appeared, it made him even more afraid of Li Dan.

Things still don't seem to be going well.

Therefore, after throwing copper coins, it is the human who decides to deal with Li Dan, and the local one to deal with Webster.But it's more secretive.

The copper coin was spinning in the air, and finally landed on Wang Hua's hand, but the front was the land of the copper coin.

Does God even want to help Li Dan?Wang Hua didn't believe in evil anymore, so he tossed it again, but it was still the ground side up.

Wang Hua tossed it again in disbelief, but the ground side was still facing up.Looking at the copper coins, Wang Hua was startled.

Mu Zili didn't know what he was doing, so he continued: "Dan, Dan Erlang, not only are there a thousand soldiers arresting him, but there are probably many people who want the crown prince dead. How can you go alone?"

"Don't worry, I will play it by ear." What Mu Zili said was the truth, even Li Dan probably wanted Li Chongjun dead.It would be better for Li Xian's sons to die so that he can have a chance.Moreover, the ministers of Wu Sansi's faction also hated Li Chongjun.Not to mention the secret power of the army and Webster.Therefore, in addition to the army, there are probably some people who have sneaked into Mangshan to intercept Li Chongjun.But what Wang Hua said was true. If the situation was not good, he would definitely evacuate immediately.It was precisely because of this arrangement that Li Bao'er was sent back to the palace, otherwise Li Bao'er would be entangled and he would have no way to escape.

Mu Zili knew that he had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to say: "Be careful."

But she still looked at Wang Hua worriedly, Wang Hua smiled, touched her head and said, "Silly girl."

Then pick up a book and start reading.

The sound of the second watch tying the bell began to ring outside. It was the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and the street was very lively.But because of such a major incident during the day, the entire city of Luoyang was strictly prohibited, and the streets were deserted, and there was hardly a pedestrian in sight.

Wang Hua stood up and put on a pair of water cushions. There was also a treasure bag hanging on the back, which contained some things that Muzili had prepared for him, and a horizontal knife on his waist.Then he opened the window and jumped out.

Muzili saw that his shadow was not in the garden behind the room, jumped up and down and disappeared.Turning his head, looking at the candle, frowning, thinking about it.

It wasn't until the candle suddenly lit up that she took out a stick of incense from the drawer, inserted it into the incense burner and lit it, and prayed respectfully.
