"There is no rush. The first step is to attack and then to attack, and the last step is to use troops. If you want to oust Li Longji without causing a backlash from the Guanlong clan, you must consider both internal and external considerations."

"I heard that Prince Li Ying's situation has become more and more difficult recently. Please find a time to bring him here, and I will talk to him."

In fact, regarding the issue of the Tang Dynasty, Fan Xin had not thought about replacing him as emperor.

But as a result, the war in the Tang Dynasty will inevitably ignite, the people will be devastated, and in the end, the only ones who will benefit are the alien races who are eyeing them.

So the best way is to support a puppet for your own use like Cao Cao did.

This would neither violate his promise to Wu Zetian nor cause a strong backlash from the wealthy clan, which was the best of both worlds.

Liuzi thought for a while and then clasped his fists with emotion.

"Your Majesty has great admiration for your friendship with the Supreme Emperor. She is so lucky to have a minister like you."

No one understands Fan Xin better than Liuzi. It's all nonsense that he can't bear the loss of life and is afraid of causing a backlash.

Who among Youzhou cavalry's swordsmen dared to say a word?

In the final analysis, the prince was unwilling to break his oath to Wu Zetian.

Thinking of Wu Zetian's voice and appearance, Fan Xin came to the window with his hands behind his back, a look of melancholy in his eyes.

"A thousand-mile horse always exists, but a bole does not always exist. You only see my friendship and friendship, but you don't see the Supreme Emperor's protection of me."

"How could this happen without her? Well, go and prepare to save people. When Gao Xianzhi faces the saint tomorrow, it will be the day he goes to jail. It's time to accept this tough guy."

Liu Zi took a deep look at Fan Xin, bowed and left...

Qinzheng Hall.

"Two father-in-laws, could you please go in and tell me that the general has returned from Anxi and there is something you want to report."

After returning from Wanghe Pavilion, Gao Xianzhi always felt that something was wrong, so he went to inquire about the current situation, and then learned that Fan Xin and the imperial court had already broken up in front of Yingtian Gate.

Hearing this news, Gao Xianzhi felt extremely uneasy, even though he was upright and worthy of the court.

But if the news of his meeting with Fan Xin reaches the court, wouldn't it confirm the fact that he is a member of the Fan Party?

Therefore, he rushed to the palace before the palace gate closed and wanted to explain it to the emperor in person.

The chamberlain shook his head and said with regret: "General Gao, you came too late. Your Majesty has just gone to bed. If you have anything to do, you should tell me tomorrow."

Gao Xianzhi's face became anxious, he took a step forward and grabbed the chamberlain's arm.

"Father, Gao really has something important that he wants to report to His Majesty in person. Please be accommodating."

"Oh, General Gao, you're hurting the Zajia family!" The chamberlain broke free from the restraints and complained dissatisfiedly.

"I'm sorry, father-in-law, Gao is too anxious. Can you please tell me about this?"

"General Gao, why do I say you don't understand people? Everyone said that His Majesty is asleep, why do you continue to pester me? Go away quickly, otherwise I will call the guards."

Seeing that the chamberlain was getting impatient, Gao Xianzhi sighed, turned and left, planning to explain himself to the court tomorrow morning.

After he left, Wei Dayuan came out from behind the beam and said with a smile.

"Why is Gao gone?"

"Back to Eunuch Wei, the boys drove him away. Hey, he doesn't know etiquette. He doesn't even want to spend a little money to ask for help. He deserves to be punished by his master."

The two chamberlains spit on the ground and cursed disdainfully.

"Okay, Gao won't be around for a few more days. There's no need to waste your energy on him. You two can follow me and serve His Highness Prince Shou."

Glancing at Gao Xianzhi's back, Wei Dayuan sneered and left proudly...

The next day, Daming Palace.

The ministers came to the main hall one after another, gathering in small groups and talking quietly.

During this period, Gao Xianzhi wanted to go forward and pay a visit to these court ministers.

But when the other party saw that he was a general from somewhere, he didn't even bother to say hello and turned his head away, making Gao Xianzhi extremely embarrassed.

Fortunately, a young official noticed him and stepped forward with a smile.

"I think your attire is that of a general from Anxi, right? I am Feng Chengcheng, the young minister of Dali Temple."

"Feng Shaoqing is right. The general is indeed from Anxi, but I don't know these people..."

Gao Xianzhi didn't understand that he didn't offend them when he first arrived, so why didn't he want to see her so much?

Feng Chengcheng smiled slightly, his expression looking a little helpless.

"General Gao is overly concerned. Our court has always had a tradition of Beijing officials looking down on local officials. You are from Anxi, so no one wants to talk to you. Just wait for a while to get to know each other."

"Oh, so that's it." Gao Xianzhi breathed a sigh of relief and secretly slandered in his heart.

"These officials in the capital are really idle. They are not good at fighting. They are blind as fuck."

Just when Gao Xianzhi was about to ask when His Majesty would come, the big bell of the Daming Palace rang leisurely, and all the civil and military officials quickly walked to their seats and bowed down.

"My ministers, please see Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

"My dear friends, please be free."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the ministers straightened up, Zhang Shuo walked out of the queue and said.

"Your Majesty, the Tai Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more stable. If the imperial court continues to stay in Luoyang, it will inevitably be suspected of abandoning Li Tang's style."

"Therefore, the veteran thought that the imperial court could move the capital back to Chang'an to inherit the wishes of the ancestors of the past dynasties."

Li Longji nodded, looked at the other ministers, and asked.

"What do you think about moving the capital?"

"Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Zhang said is reasonable. Compared with Luoyang, Chang'an is the foundation of our Tang Dynasty that will last forever. It's time to go back." Li Linfu echoed.

"I second the proposal!" All the ministers bowed down together.

Seeing that the ministers unanimously agreed to move the capital back to Chang'an, Li Longji was about to make the final decision, but unexpectedly a dull voice sounded.

"Wait a minute, I don't agree to move the capital back to Chang'an at this time."

"Gao Xianzhi?"

Seeing that the person who opposed was Gao Xianzhi, the emperor and his ministers were stunned, and Li Longji frowned.

"Why don't you agree?"

Under the gaze of everyone, Gao Xianzhi took a deep breath and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, Chang'an is located in a strategic location. The enemies in the Western Region have not yet been eliminated. If we move the capital rashly, we will definitely be in danger."

"I think it's better to wait for a while."

In Gao Xianzhi's opinion, his remarks were entirely from a military perspective.

But in the eyes of Li Longji and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, Gao Xianzhi's words clearly showed that he was afraid of the enemy and did not take restoring the glory of the Tang Dynasty seriously at all.

In particular, Li Longji was filled with hatred. He was a face-loving person and was planning to move the capital to save face.

This guy openly contradicted himself just because he had Fan Xin's backing.

"Hmph, do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?" Li Longji secretly said with hatred in his heart.

At this time, a censor came out and held his hands in anger.

"Your Majesty, I impeach Gao Xianzhi for twelve major crimes and thirty-six minor crimes!"
