Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

The adverse impact caused by the Huzhou case has put all the civil and military officials in the court into a dilemma.

It was only natural that Crown Prince Li Xian was deposed by the emperor since he left the palace without permission and went to Huzhou.

But if Li Xian was deposed, the person most likely to become the crown prince would be Wu Chengsi.

People like Wu Sansi, Li Dan, and Princess Taiping all stepped aside.

What ability do they have to compete with Wu Chengsi for the position?

Everyone knows that Prince of Wei, Wu Chengsi, has restrained himself now. If he had not, half of the civil and military officials in the court would have been old ministers of the Li family, and the other half would have been disciples of Prince of Wei!

Now, Princess Taiping was in a dilemma.

Imperial Preceptor Wang Zhiyuan and Flying Dragon Envoy He Yun are both on the same side, and they have been discussing how to unite the anti-Wu forces and how to kill Wu Zetian.

It is really unwilling to stop now. If she doesn't stop, Princess Taiping will not be able to suppress Wang Zhiyuan and He Yun.

"I really hope Wu Sansi can fight Wu Chengsi briefly, and not lose too quickly. Give me some time to prepare."

"What you should think about is that Li Xian, Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi should fight each other, otherwise they will definitely lose miserably."

"Among Li's old ministers, there are some who think that it is a good thing for Wu Chengsi and Li Cunxi to join forces. At least, after these two join forces to help the emperor pass away, the country will be extremely stable."

"Yes, if Li Cunxi could become the prime minister, one could control the Wu family and the other the Li family, and then they could work together to suppress the court officials. They would be able to control the army and stabilize the country... But what does that have to do with me? I want to be the emperor, Xuguzi!"

Princess Taiping gritted her teeth.

"I want to be the emperor!"

Xuguzi took a look at Princess Taiping, whose whole body was trembling with anger, and the resulting turbulent waves.

Xuguzi, who had already made up his mind to run away, sat down firmly after seeing this scene and reached out to untie his belt.

"Princess, if you can please me for a moment, I might be able to come up with a good plan."

Xuguzi, the most intelligent member of Princess Taiping's party and known for his "divine strategies and calculations", had no scruples at this moment.

Princess Taiping understood, walked over with a smile, squatted down, and reached out to help Xuguzi take off his pants.

"You'll help me, won't you?"

"Princess, if you trust me, I will have a plan."

"Well, please tell me... well..."

"The first step is to eliminate the internal guards who know about it... Hurry up and don't stop."

……

After arriving in Luoyang, Di Renjie was taken into Wu Chengye's mansion.

After the two men exchanged greetings, they sat down as host and guest.

"Lord Di has lost a lot of weight from running around for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Don't laugh at me, Prince of Changshan. I have a big belly, but can you tell I'm thin? Don't I know that?"

"I heard that Lord Di was in Huzhou a few days ago. Did something big happen there that caused His Majesty to come in person?"

"The Prince of Changshan is well-informed. Actually, this is the case..."

Di Renjie did not hide anything and told Wu Chengye everything he knew about the duty uniforms.

Wu Chengye is a little crazy, but he is still smart enough.

After thinking for a while, he stretched his neck and asked:

"Your Majesty, do you intend to appoint a new crown prince?"

Di Renjie took a sip of tea and said with a smile:

"If the Prince of Changshan could detect something, I'm sure all the civil and military officials in the court have guessed it. It seems that it would be better for me not to return to the court recently. I wonder if the Prince of Changshan would allow me to rest in Luoyang for a while?"

"Of course, Lord Di, I will ask my butler to arrange a guest room for you later." Wu Chengye picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, savoring the taste.

Mmm, sweet.

So sweet!

"Your Majesty's decision to appoint a new crown prince is a foregone conclusion. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei. By then, the Prince of a County will probably be promoted to a higher position."

"It's too early to say that. I don't know the situation in the court yet. As the Lord knows, I have been in Luoyang for several years to supervise the construction of the new palace. I only have a general idea of ​​what is going on in the court. How can I know who Your Majesty will appoint as the emperor?"

"Then let's not talk about this anymore. Prince of Changshan, you have been supervising the construction of the imperial palace here for several years. I wonder how the construction of the palace is going?"

Talking about the project he was most familiar with, Wu Chengye perked up and began to talk about Taichu Palace.

Taichu Palace originated in the pre-Sui Dynasty. The palace city was named Ziwei City. After several decades, it was renamed Luoyang Palace during the reign of Li Shimin, and was finally renamed Taichu Palace a few years ago.

Taichu Palace was expanded slightly based on the original Luoyang Palace.

Its area, converted into later measurement units, is approximately 4.2 square kilometers, or 6300 acres, which is almost the total area of ​​more than 300 standard football fields.

This is a huge project. Wu Chengye has been here for several years just for the day when it will be completed. Wu Zetian might directly appoint him as the Minister of Works.

After finishing talking about Taichu Palace in one breath, Wu Chengye drank some tea.

"That's about it. This Taichu Palace is huge. I've been watching it for several years."

"Prince Changshan has worked so hard, I admire him."

"Not as good as Lord Di. Although my job is a long one, I can see the end. Lord Di has devoted all his energy and efforts to the Great Zhou over the years. It is not easy. When I arrive in Luoyang, I should take good care of him."

"Prince Changshan is very polite."

"Lord Di, tomorrow I will take you to the best restaurant in Luoyang City and have a good meal."

"Then I will respectfully obey your command, Prince of Changshan."

……

Yangzhou.

The secret room in Prince Ying’s Mansion, the headquarters of the Iron Hand Group.

The leader of the Iron Hand Group, Ying Wang Yuanqi and the twenty-one hall masters stood separately. Long Feng and Chen Yiqu, who went by the alias Qi Hai, looked at each other and chose to close their eyes and rest.

The air pressure in the secret room was very low and everyone was silent.

"Twenty-one hall masters of our Iron Hand Group are gathered here today. This is the largest gathering we have had in the past few years!"

"In the past, we were divided into small groups and scattered in various places, carrying out our own tasks. From now on, we will fight together."

The leader opened his arms and made a hugging gesture.

"Now let me introduce you to each other."

"The First Hall Master Long Feng, who is also the Deputy Sect Master of the Iron Hand Group, is also your Senior Brother!"

"Second Hall Master Hu Yun, your second senior brother."

"The Third Hall Master Qi Hai has just joined."

"The fourth hall master, Shi Xiong."

"The Fifth Hall Master Bao Chong, your Third Senior Brother."

"The Sixth Hall Master, Yun Gu, is the eldest daughter of Ge Tianba from Crouching Tiger Village."

"And the following ones include Xiong Sha, Pi Xiu, Suanni, Mang Tai, Jiao Gang, Hou Qiang, Diao Qing, Gui Jie, Lu Ba, Lang Quan, Chai Ze, Xie Zhu, Xiang Jun, Hu Wei, and Zhang Zhi."

"Including me and Yuan Qi, the 22 of us form the Iron Hand Group's highest combat effectiveness group, and your position will determine your future status in the Iron Hand Group... Yun Gu will talk about that later."

"If a hall master is not satisfied with his position, he can challenge other hall masters. If you win, you will be promoted."
