"Team Sacred Martial Arts lost!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. It's a rumor from the Wei Mansion. If Team Sacred Martial Arts won, why didn't they set off firecrackers today?”
"Right, right, right. Previously, when Team Shengwu Zhou defeated Team Fufeng, the capital was bustling for an entire day!”
……
Not long after Wu Zetian entered the palace, the news of the Sacred Martial Zhou team losing the finals spread.
It triggered a heated discussion among the people in Chang 'an.
Great Ming Palace.
Wu Zetian's expression had already returned to normal. She stared deeply at Li Longfan who was kneeling on the ground.
"Long Fan, why are you kneeling in front of the Great Ming Palace?”A calm voice sounded.
Li Longfan, who had lived under Wu Zetian's shadow since he was young, was instinctively afraid.
His body could not help but tremble.
He tried his best to control his true emotions according to what his big brother had taught him.
"I'm here to ask for forgiveness from Grandmother," he replied with a trembling voice.”
"Big Brother suddenly ordered me to escort two million strings of strings to Tiger and Leopard Lane to bet. There were many people from the old city following me, so I didn't have time to inform grandmother.”
"As a result, big brother succeeded and caused the King of Wei and the others to suffer heavy losses. This grandson is useless and could not scheme against big brother.”
"Grandmother, please send someone stronger than your grandson to your big brother's side.”
At this moment, Li Longfan was terrified, but at the same time, he was very excited and happy.
It was his big brother who asked him to enter the palace to apologize.
His goal was to further win his grandmother's trust.
"Raise your head."
Hearing that, Li Longfan couldn't help but feel nervous. He slowly raised his head, tears streaming down his face.
Wu Zetian stared sharply at Li Longfan.
She wanted to see clearly how many faces this grandson had!
Tears flowed down his face, and his eyes flickered. It was obvious that he was filled with respect and fear for her.
He was not as unruly as Li Xian.
"Grandmother heard that when your big brother renovated the dry land and repaired the city, you contributed a lot. Grandmother thought that you were going to follow him and rebel against Grandmother.”
"Grandson wouldn't dare!" Li Longfan kowtowed heavily in fear." I did this to win your trust.”
"After he was assassinated, I brought people to rescue him and gained his trust.”
"Big brother is indeed dissatisfied with grandmother's intention to pass the throne to the Wu clan. Big brother also seems to be doing something.”
"But he didn't completely trust your grandson. He only said not to ask what shouldn't be asked, and that he would tell your grandson when and what secrets he could.”
"I just want your grandson to help with something."
"Regarding the bet today, I hesitated and was prepared to not place a bet behind Big Brother's back. However, a few days ago, the Sacred Martial Arts Team won against the Fufeng Team, and the martial arts teams celebrated. I thought they had full confidence in the finals.”
"If I disobey Big Brother's orders, I'm afraid that the trust that Big Brother had in me in the early stages would disappear completely, so…so…"
"I didn't expect A Luohai to be so useless!”
"The reason why I didn't report the matter of gaining Big Brother's trust in the first place was because I was worried that too many people would leak the secret.”
Wu Zetian slowly nodded. Her calm expression had a trace of kindness.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Grandmother!"
"Long Fan, you did the right thing. Grandmother doesn't necessarily have to get rid of your big brother. Grandmother's blood is still in your bodies.”
"Grandmother only hopes that you will be by his side and help me look after him.”
"He's a capable child, but he's also the most restless. He has too many complaints in his heart.”
"Grandmother doesn't want him to make a mistake. When he does something that the court can't tolerate, you have to remind him in time or tell Grandmother. Grandmother will stop him in time.”
"You have to know that I am your grandmother and the ruler of a country.”
"If he really did something treasonous, grandmother, as the emperor, could only shed tears and behead Ma Su!”
Li Longfan looked up with tears on his face. He stared at Wu Zetian and asked,"Grandmother, you really won't kill big brother?”
"When I was young, third brother looked down on me and only big brother took care of me. Grandson hoped that when big brother made a mistake, grandmother would give him a chance.”
Wu Zetian nodded with a kind smile.
"Grandmother said that you have her blood in you.”
After that, the grandfather and grandson chatted for a while before Li Longfan left.
Whoosh!
After walking out of the Great Ming Palace, he heaved a long sigh of relief.
As expected, it was all within Big Brother's expectations!
Li Longfan turned to look at the towering Great Ming Palace.
He entered the palace to plead for forgiveness, personally said that his big brother had some small tricks, and gained his trust and pleaded for his big brother.
These were all words that his eldest brother had told him to think of a way to lead the conversation and tell his grandmother.
In the words of his eldest brother, he could not underestimate his grandmother, who was an emperor who could sit firmly on the throne as a woman.
Ninety percent truth and one percent falsehood was the most appropriate way to deal with this kind of expert who could see through people's hearts.
Therefore, today's conversation was arranged by Big Brother.
Other than the fact that the bet was fake.
Everything else was true.
It was just that this wasn't really a deep involvement.
From his grandmother's kindness, he knew that he had gained more trust from her.
It laid the foundation for his big brother's next plan.
Not far away, Li Longfan saw Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, whose faces were gloomy and pale with anxiety.
He quickly stopped and stood by the roadside.
"Greetings, King Wei, King Liang…"
Humph!
When Wu Sansi passed by, he snorted coldly and left gloomily.
Li Longfan turned his head and looked at Er Wu's back with a mocking gaze. He muttered,"Since Big Brother wants you to go bankrupt and become the most destitute noble in the Great Tang, then even Imperial Grandmother can't protect you!”
Even Wu Zetian was deceived.
Li Longfan was full of confidence in his big brother, Li Xian.
He was also confident that he would be able to take back Li Tang's empire in the future.
……
"Aunt, this little bastard Li Xian has gone too far!”
"Aunt, the only one who can make decisions for us now is you. Li Xian wants to make our Wu family bankrupt and become the biggest joke in the world!”
"What does this little bastard want so much money for?”
"He's preparing for a rebellion!”
“……”
In the Great Ming Palace.
After Wu Chengsi and his brother entered, they knelt down and cried.
"You brought this upon yourself!"
"Idiot!"
"Insatiable greed!"
Wu Zetian had been suppressing her anger for the entire journey, and it finally flared up. She grabbed the teacup and smashed it down.
This time, it was not a bluff.
The teacup landed heavily on Wu Chengsi's face.
Wu Chengsi didn't dare to dodge and took the hit.
The brothers were very smart. The more embarrassed they were, the more likely it was for their aunt to make a move.
In terms of understanding Wu Zetian's temperament.
Li Xian and Li Dan couldn't even compare to the Wu Brothers.
This was why Wu Zetian had the idea of passing the throne to Wu Chengsi.
As expected.
Wu Zetian looked at her nephew, whose face was stained with tea and had a red mark, and felt pity for him.
" I've already created an opportunity for you," he said coldly." It's the annual banquet. In the next two days, go to King Ying's estate, Prince Xiang's estate, and Princess's estate."”
"Whether you can get through this crisis or not is not up to me. I will not damage the dignity of the imperial power because of your stupidity.”
"Only Ling Yue and the others can help you!”
……
In the study room.
"Big brother, I returned to the wang fu before I left the city. I'm afraid that the annual banquet was a trap set up by grandmother for you.”
Li Longfan's expression was dark. He clenched his fists and said fiercely,"We have a kind father. He and Li Longji are discussing how to use the Hongmen Banquet provided by Imperial Grandmother to show their loyalty to Imperial Grandmother by targeting you.”
"Let me see if you've made any preparations.”
Li Xian smiled." The Hongmen Banquet isn't scary. It's their platform and ours."”
"Han Gaozu Liu Bang won Xiang Yu's trust at the Hongmen Banquet, and from then on, he had a chance to rise!”
"We also need to use the Hongmen Banquet to achieve our goals. For example, we can ask for 300,000 strings of strings of strings from Zhu Wu!”
"For example, after my grandmother's saber is promoted, how can I let you take over the position of county magistrate of the old city?”
"It's nothing more than a competition of whose methods are more powerful!”
When Li Longfan heard this, he also smiled and rubbed his fists."She has Zhang Liang's plan in mind, and we've also set up an ambush and a ladder!”
"If she sets up the stage, we'll have a good fight with the person she sets up!”
