The night gradually darkened.

A fire rose in the yard and hot soup was boiled on the stove.

There is also a long table next to it, with various cut side dishes on it.

As the soup rolled, the steaming white mist rose and the fragrance spread quickly.

This is a gathering belonging to Su Dawei's small circle.

An Wensheng, Li Bo, Gao Dalong, Gao Dahu, Zhou Liang and others all gathered around the fire.

Everyone was led by Su Da.

Yuchi Baolin has a mission to patrol the city today.

Xue Rengui was still playing hide-and-seek with the Hu people in the northwest.

Su Qingjie and Asuna Daozhen are still cats on the Liaodong Peninsula.

As for the others, they are not that close to Su Dawei and are not enough to enter this small circle.

The fire was shining brightly, illuminating everyone's faces.

"I'll be able to eat it later. Put the cut mutton in later and cook the soup cake first..."

Su Dawei picked up the side dish plate and used chopsticks to pull the steak into the soup pot. He said, "Brother Zhou Er, Wen Sheng and Da Long, you have worked with me for many years. Youdao is a plan for one person and a plan for three. For this matter, everyone will discuss it and see how to break the deadlock."

As he said that, he looked at An Wensheng again: "Among us, you are the ones who are most familiar with the officialdom. From what do you think about Hao Chujun and Xu Jingzong today?"

An Wensheng sat cross-legged in front of the fire, holding a wine glass in one hand and touching his double chin with the other, narrowing his eyes slightly, as if he was in a daze.

The orange-red light of the fire made his face white and red.

After being kicked by Su Dawei, An Wensheng realized that he raised his neck and tilted his neck to "sweet" and took a sip of wine.

"This situation is complicated, and I am also watching the flowers in the fog."

An Wensheng touched his chin and said, "Can you sort out the recent case of Princess Gaoyang, as well as Guo Xingzhen and Li Yifu in advance, and tell me to listen to it?"

"Let Li Bo talk about this."

Su Dawei looked at Li Bo, who was his right-hand man in Ducha Temple and participated in Princess Gaoyang's case throughout the whole process.

Li Bo gave his eloquence and thought for a moment and said, "Actually, Princess Gaoyang's case is a bit like the assassination case when Su Langjun returned to Chang'an before? He also inexplicably implicated Su Langjun in it.

At that time? Princess Gaoyang borrowed "The Record of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" from him. Oh? Don't ask about "The Record of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty"? This matter needs to be made clear, and it is another story."

Li Bo's eyes swept away? An Wensheng, who was present, came from a noble family. Of course, his life experience is negligible.

Su Qingjie who has not come? He is the son of Su Dingfang, the god of war in the Tang Dynasty.

And Yuchi Baolin is the legitimate son of Yuchi Gong, Duke of E.

There is also Cheng Chusi, who was the legitimate son of Cheng Zhijie, the Duke of Lu.

There is also Xue Rengui on the frontier, a brave general of the new jin dynasty of the Tang Dynasty.

And Gao Kan, Xiao Siye, Su Dingfang, Li Keshi, and Li Ji, these people need not be mentioned.

It is really hard to imagine? What kind of charm does Su Dawei have? He can make friends with these powerful people.

And his origin was nothing more than a good family.

According to the normal trajectory, at most, we will get to know people like Zhou Liang, Gao Dalong, and Gao Dahu.

Noting that Su Dawei looked over, Li Bo took back his distracting thoughts and cleared his throat and said, "Princess Gaoyang died suddenly in the mansion? Your Majesty ordered Su Langjun to prove his innocence and preside over the investigation of the case.

Su Langjun asked His Majesty for the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple...

Let’s talk about Princess Gaoyang’s case? In the past few days, it was first found that the princess died of witchcraft.

Later, I found a witchcraft doll in the river outside Chang'an City.

It is found that the doll's hair was taken from the princess? So it is suspected that the princess was killed by witchcraft.

At the same time, there is also Cui Huan in Chang'an City. His death was also very strange, and it seemed that he was also cursed and killed.

The object of suspicion at present falls on Taoist Guo Xingzhen.

Guo Xingzhen was a strange man recruited by Helan Minzhi and others from the world. He was later recommended to Empress Wu. After obtaining His Majesty's consent, Empress Wu used this person to refine elixirs to regulate the prince's body.

The case is now at this point.

We should have continued to investigate Guo Xingzhen, but what happened to Su Langjun in Yanying's Palace today is full of troubles.

First, the former Minister of the East Taiwan, Hao Chujun, and the Minister of the West Taiwan, Shangguan Yi, impeached Li Yifu.

Su Langjun found out that there was a Tibetan armor on Li Yi’s mansion.

Li Yi Mansion is now jointly tried by Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate, and the British Duke Li Ji supervised the case.

Today in Yanying Palace, Xu Jingzong suddenly impeached Guo Xingzhen.

At the same time, Your Majesty will review Guo Xingzhen's errand, and asked Su Langjun to do it.

And he also took the opportunity to remove Su Langjun from his position as the Minister of the Ducha Temple."

After saying so much in one breath, Li Bo picked up the wine in his hand, took a sip, and moistened his throat.

"The whole story is roughly the same."

An Wensheng kept staring at the wine in the cup. After hearing Li Bo's words, he sighed and shook his head: "Ami, it's not easy to drink your wine."

"It's easy to take it out and drink it together."

Su Dawei raised his wine glass, reached out to him, and then raised his wine glass to Gao Dalong, Zhou Liang and others.

Everyone's wine glasses clinked together, making a clear sound.

Then I fucked this cup together.

All the words were in the wine.

If you can sit together, you will be a brother on a boat.

Su Dawei was stable, and his business was like a Dinghai Shentou for An Wensheng's family, Zhou Liang, Gao Dalong and others, Chang'an County's public transportation office, and Su Qingjie, Li Keshi, Yuchi Baolin, Cheng Chusi and other families.

Moreover, in the visible future, as long as Su Dawei continues to grow, he will definitely be a towering tree in various families, which can shelter everyone from the wind and rain.

So there is no need to say a lot of things.

There is no crisis here, and the statement that can jump ship can't even be thought about.

The question now is how to solve the dilemma.

An Wensheng thought carefully: "Let's analyze the situation in front of you first. Princess Gaoyang's case can be ignored for the time being. If you solve that case, it will be the icing on the cake. Even if you fail to really hand over the murderer, Your Majesty will not touch you because of this, so you can't mention this matter for the time being."

After a pause, he continued: "And Gao Yang's case is suspected of Guo Xingzhen, and Guo Xingzhen was impeached and punished by Xu Jingzong.

This must be what Your Majesty meant.

As for the matter of Ducha Temple, that is another thing.”

Gao Dalong lowered his head there, his eyes flashed: "Then Hao Chujun, Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, Guo Xing are really the same thing, Ami's Ducha Temple is another thing. As for Gao Yang's case, it may be a bit implicated, but it is not the main one."

"good."

An Wensheng shook his wine glass, and Su Dawei reached out to pick up the wine pot and filled it with him.

He continued: "The court has been well governed by Your Majesty, but there are still factions in the court, such as Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, who are subjects who defect to Your Majesty and do things for Your Majesty.

Hao Chujun, Shangguan Yi and others have the name of a straight minister, but at the same time, they are also from aristocratic families.

Behind them, there may be the Wang family in Taiyuan, Cui family in Boling, Li family in Zhaojun, Zheng family in Xingyang and other tribes."

After saying this, everyone present took a deep breath of air and looked at An Wensheng with strange eyes.

Su Dawei was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Is there a family behind Hao Chujun and others?"

"It's not behind them, they are from a clan, so where can they be so clear?"

An Wensheng picked up a chopstick and tapped the table gently, sending a special rhythm of blow.

His voice, sandwiched in this rhythm, said slowly: "Although the aristocrats in the court have been declining since His Majesty removed Changsun, it does not mean that each family is really willing to do so.

One day, His Majesty did not dare to make big moves, but the small moves in secret were inevitable.

It's like an undercurrent under the lake, it won't stop for a moment."

"In other words, the case of Li Yifu before was a test and counterattack carried out by a family of aristocratic families led by Hao Chujun?"

Li Bo showed shocked expression: "Then today is in Yanying Palace..."

An Wensheng's eyes turned to Su Dawei: "What do you think Ami?"

"Their target is not Li Yi Mansion, but His Majesty behind Li Yi Mansion."

Su Dawei sighed.

After being spoken by An Wensheng for a few words, his eyes were as bright as the clouds and the moon was clear.

Li Bo was stunned for a moment. In his heart, the Emperor Tiankhan of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi, was so arrogant and killed. How could the lower clans dare to act like this?

"How dare they..."

"This is not a question of whether you dare to dare, but in the face of power, for the sake of family interests, these century-old families will never be willing to watch the silence continue. They will always use all kinds of ways to test, especially... His Majesty's current body."

When Su Dawei said this, he kept silent.

Although I didn't finish speaking, everyone understood.

Li Zhi's physical condition is really worrying.

More importantly, the current Crown Prince Li Hong is also seriously ill.

This gave some ambitious families in the dark and saw hope.

If Li Zhi is healthy or Li Hong succeeds to the throne in the future, the aristocratic families can only bow their heads and lie dormant.

But once Li Zhi and Li Hong got into trouble...

That's earth-shaking.

All suppressed families will inevitably rebound and want to usurp power.

This topic cannot be discussed, or even thought about it.

It's really too taboo.

But the presence of Gao Dalong, An Wensheng, Su Dawei, Li Bo and others were spinning quickly, and they had already vaguely thought of these joints.

"So, overthrowing Li Yi's mansion is just the first step to test. If it goes well, their second step will definitely be Guo Xingzhen."

Su Dawei took a sip of wine slowly, his tone a little heavy.

"Guo Xingzhen?"

Gao Dahu raised his head at this time and said in surprise: "What does this Taoist have to do with the forces in the court? Why did he overthrow Li Yi's mansion? The next one to deal with is Guo Xingzhen?"

"Because it's not really about dealing with Guo Xingzhen."

After Gao Dalong finished speaking, he drank the wine in one breath.

Throw down the wine glass and let it sway over the wine.

"We used this strategy to compete for territory in the market back then. Sometimes the people we had to deal with couldn't reach for a while, so we started with the people around us."
