"You will definitely lose today...!"

"Bah...Don't think that if you stole our people, we will be afraid of you... Victory will always belong to our team..."

"Okay... Since you are stubborn, then see it on the court...!"

"Then come on..."

................

As soon as he finished speaking, a wooden whistle sounded, and a football match in Dengzhou Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty began like this... Of course, football is not a modern football. At this time, the football outside is leather, and inside is a spherical shape blown by a pig. To be honest, the elasticity is quite good.

At the beginning, Ang Lee thought about adding physical strength to his Je family army.

Oh... By the way, I forgot to say that the current Jie family army is different from the past. When Ang Lee first came to Dengzhou, the Jie family army had 3,000 troops, but now... Ang Lee's Jie family army already has 30,000 troops and 10,000 troops... Of course, the banner it was not a regular army.

Although Ang Lee provided equipment and training for the regular army, the banner of these troops was reserve troops. If someone knew it was a regular army, Luoyang would have been in a big way.

Let’s talk about football... Ang Lee’s football quickly became popular in the army. No one expected that it would become popular with Dengzhou Prefecture, and Ang Lee tried to play a football league.

Oh my god... I still remember that in the first game, nearly 10,000 people came from all over the world to watch the football game, and directly filled Dengzhou City.

Ang Lee himself did not expect that Dengzhou City suddenly made a fortune because of the sudden arrival of people.

Then Ang Lee began to engage in football in a big way, which not only made Dengzhou's popularity soar, but also led to the interest in football in other towns in Dazhou...

Dengzhou City is no longer the small town of that time. Dengzhou has now been built with two floors, and there are two more cities outside the original small town, just like the first and second rings.

There are now about 200,000 people in Dengzhou City, which is why Ang Lee increases his army.

"Wow... I scored a goal..." A cheer sounded, and the entire Dengzhou Football Stadium made a deafening sound... Ang Lee in the distance also laughed at home. It was really beautiful, such a life.

Luoyang

"We can't continue like this... This Hu Chao will take action soon...!"

The person who spoke was Zhang Jianzhi. When Zhang Jianzhi finished speaking, the Prime Minister Cui Xuanwei also frowned and said, "I heard that they are ready to fight Wei Xiang..."

Wei Prime Minister was Wei Yuanzhong... He played a positive role in the smooth transition from the Zhenguan rule to the Kaiyuan prosperous era, and was one of the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty who had great achievements.

He served as prime minister twice, possessing both political and military talents, and followed the Yangzhou rebellion of Dingxu's dedication.

The old prime minister offended Hu Chao some time ago. Hu Chao enclosed land in Luoyang and wanted to build a Taiyi Taoist temple for himself. This made all the people near Luoyang complain. The farmers lost their land, were displaced, and lived a miserable life, which led to "the people leaving their hometowns, and some parents and husbands hanged their children together; some first threw themselves into the river and then self-submitted themselves; some obtained hundreds of money and sold their children; some people scraped tree bark and slashed grass roots to eat; and some people ate by the dead servants' road, but they didn't know how much they were."

Wei Yuanzhong couldn't bear it anymore and directly submitted a memorial to Wu Zetian: "My minister is worthy of the late emperor and has received his great kindness from His Majesty. He cannot be loyal to the country and let villains be with the emperor's side, which is a crime for his minister."

Originally, everyone thought that Wu Zetian would definitely make some statements, but what everyone didn't expect was that after several days of reporting, there was no response at all. Not only that, Hu Chao was constantly moving.

He even began to collect evidence of Wei Yuanzhong's crimes in his early years. Because Wei Yuanzhong was too upright, many people offended. In the first year of Shengli (698), Wei Yuanzhong was appointed as the censor and was later promoted to the chief censor. He was framed by Lai Junchen and Hou Sizhi, and was exiled to Lingbiao again.

Later, he returned to the capital and was appointed as the Chief Censor of the Censor. Wei Yuanzhong was exiled three times before and after. People at that time said he was innocent. Wu Zetian once said to him: "What is the reason for you being caught and punished many times?" He replied: "My deer is like a deer, a woven man, just like a hunter, just wanting to use his meat to make soup. These people killed their ministers because they wanted to be clear about it, so what's the crime?"

So it is not difficult to find evidence of his crime.

"I know too...!" Jinghui said slightly: "But what can we do now... Mr. Di is sick now, and we can't rely on the prince. Do you know that the relationship between the prince and His Majesty has just eased a little, and we must not let them become enemies with mother and son again...!"

"Or why we go and find the grandson..." Cui Xuanwei raised his head.

"It's useless to find Taisun... Taisun has always been gentle and elegant, and has no real power in the court. If we look for him, we may even drag him down."

Zhang Jianzhi's words made everyone nod.

"Then... should we go and find Sanlang...!" Jinghui looked at the other people and asked slightly.

Jinghui served as the governor of Weizhou, Xia Guanshi, Taizhou Governor, Luozhou Governor... He was the son of Jing Shansong, the magistrate of Chengcheng County... Now he serves as the right chief of the censor, and is also considered a member of the prime minister.

This person is very delicate and good at grasping the key points of things. However, this person also has a shortcoming, that is, his mind is narrow-minded.

"Li Sanlang...!"

Jinghui's words made everyone present show some different expressions.

"Don't you know that Hu Chao is the one Li Sanlang offered to His Majesty..." Zhang Jianzhi looked at Jinghui.

But Jinghui shook his head: "But Hu Chao has already left Li Sanlang's control. He offered Hu Chao to use it for himself, but what Hu Chao has done now has touched the Li family's world.

I don’t think Li Sanlang wants to see something like this happen.”

Jinghui's words made everyone nod slightly, and Cui Xuanwei finally made the decision: "Okay, I'll go find Li Sanlang, but we must also make preparations. We must not let Hu Chao harm Wei Xiang...!"

Everyone nodded quickly... They soon left, and at the same time, an arrogant laughter sounded in Jixian Temple.

"Hahaha... Li Sanlang wants to see Your Majesty, so I will tell Li Sanlang... Your Majesty is practicing dual cultivation with me, and I will not see anyone...!"

"Yes...master..." A little Taoist priest walked out.

Following this little Taoist priest to the outside of the hall, our Li Sanlang and Li Longji were standing outside. To be honest, Li Longji was really angry at this time because Hu Chao was presented to Wu Zetian by Li Longji.

For Li Longji, Hu Chao is his younger brother and he should say whatever he should be.

Although this Hu Chao did this early, who knew that later... this Hu Chao broke away from Li Longji's control and did whatever he wanted in the court, and these things he wanted were not instructed by Li Longji.

It can be said that Hu Chao's behavior has made people hate him.

How unlucky did Li Longji go? Just a while ago, Hu Chao started to enclose land, which made people miserable. Later, Wei Yuanzhong made a statement and offended Hu Chao. Li Longji received news that Hu Chao was collecting evidence of Wei Yuanzhong's crime and was about to touch Wei Yuanzhong.

But Wei Yuanzhong is considered Li Longji's person. He finally got the recognition of a prime minister. At this time, you will get rid of the other party. Do you think Li Longji will allow it?

It will never be allowed. Li Longji is a person who cherishes his feathers, especially at this moment.

"What dual cultivation...!" Li Longji's mouth trembled slightly, because this dual cultivation was full of insults to Longji. The other party and your grandma practiced both, who is you? Haha... This is Hu Chao telling Li Longji that I am your grandfather.

"asshole...!"

But Li Longji had no choice but to do what he could do. Now Wu Zetian was listening to Hu Chao. Could it be that he dared to break in directly? So after cursing, Li Longji had to leave.

But just after Li Longji left, Hu Chao appeared outside the hall. Looking at Li Longji's departure back, Hu Chao sighed slightly: "It's time for me to leave..."

It turned out that it was not that Hu Chao didn't want these people to see Wu Zetian, but that Wu Zetian was already terminally ill because she took the pill.

If Wu Zetian was so energetic in the past, then Wu Zetian is so embarrassed now.

Sleeping in Jixian Temple with an old face, you will never know how much Wu Zetian cherishes his face. Now Wu Zetian no longer has the aura of a living person, just like a dead corpse.

When Hu Chao walked into the dark hall again, he lit a candle. Looking at Wu Zetian at this time, Hu Chao scratched his head and said to himself speechlessly: "Why are you just so troublesome? It's really too harmful... But as long as I can hide it for a few more days, let all the ministers' eyes be on Wei Yuanzhong, so I can leave... At that time, I brought the treasures in the palace.

My little Hu will do whatever he wants...!"

After saying that, a hint of pride appeared on the corner of Hu Chao's mouth.

Luoyang has changed again, and the rain is heavy, as if it is even more fierce than those in Dengzhou... Wei Yuanzhong leaned in his study, and his son Wei Wei sat aside and kept persuading his father.

I hope my father can go to Di’s mansion and get the support of Di Renjie.

But Wei Yuanzhong couldn't bear to disturb his old brother at this time, because Wei Yuanzhong knew that Di Renjie was already very ill, and he was reluctant to bother his old brother because of his own affairs.

"Father... there is really no time left. Hu Chao is already in operation. If he completes the operation, then our Wei family will be in danger...!"

"Hmph...I'm just a favorite minister, I haven't fought for my father."

"It's a fight, but what's the result... Did my father forget it?"

A few years ago, Wei Yuanzhong offended Wu Zetian's favorite minister Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong, and was demoted to Gao Yaowei. At the same time, Zhang Shuo, a Fengge clan, was also implicated and exiled to the Lingnan area.

This matter must be mentioned when the Zhang brothers were in power. At that time, the Zhang brothers were very arrogant and deceived by Wu Chengsi and others. The two of them were domineering. The civil and military officials were afraid of their power and made them three points in everything. However, Wei Yuanzhong was a straightforward tough guy and didn't take them seriously at all.

When Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen were in power, Wei Yuanzhong was framed three times and exiled three times. Faced with such a dilemma, Wei Yuanzhong refused to surrender. Later, when he was the governor of Luozhou, Zhang Yizhi's servant bullied people on the streets of Luoyang. Because Luoyang officials were people from the Zhang Mansion, they dared not ask about this matter again.

This incident reached Wei Yuanzhong's ears and was very angry, so he sent someone to capture the servant and beat him to death, which also made Zhang Yizhi hate Wei Yuanzhong. What happened after that made Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi even more resentful.

It turned out that Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi encouraged Wu Zetian to appoint Zhang Yizhi's younger brother Zhang Changqi as the chief secretary. In order to cater to Wu Zetian, some ministers praised Zhang Changqi's talents against their will. Just when Wu Zetian was happy, Wei Yuanzhong dissuaded and said, "Zhang Changqi was young and ignorant and could not hold such a position."

Wu Zetian thought for a long time and accepted Wei Yuanzhong's suggestion, but did not appoint Zhang Changqi as the chief secretary. After Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi knew about it, they hated Wei Yuanzhong even more and vowed to eradicate him.

Later, after some discussion, Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi ran to Wu Zetian to make trouble. Although Wei Yuanzhong was an honest and upright official, the Zhang brothers would still fabricate other reasons. They said to Wu Zetian: "Wei Yuanzhong is talking about you behind your back that you are old, and you are not as reliable as the prince."

In fact, Wu Zetian was most afraid of hearing others say that she was old, and Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi had a very good grasp of Wu Zetian's psychology. They knew that such words would be the easiest to anger her. Sure enough, she was furious after hearing this and even sent Wei Yuanzhong to prison, preparing to interrogate herself and let Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi expose her face.

Who knew that Zhang Changzong was too young later. Although someone taught him, he was guilty... Because of this, Wei Yuanzhong escaped death, but was demoted again.

At this time, Wei Yuanzhong sighed slightly, then looked at his son and said, "Wei Wei, you have suffered with your father, but you asked me to find Master Di, I really can't bear it for your father."

"If my father doesn't look for Master Di, then go find His Highness King Jie...!"

"Hiss..." Wei Yuanzhong was slightly shocked: "You have any contact with King Jie..."

Looking at his father, Wei Wei suddenly stood up and said, "Father... I'm sorry for you... In fact, I'm the one of King Jie...!"

"What... you are the King of Jie, why... how could you be the King of Jie? When did you have any relationship with King of Jie...?" Wei Yuanzhong's three views were almost subverted.

Because Wei Yuanzhong believed that Ang Lee was the most unstable factor in the Tang Dynasty, and it was also because of this that Wei Yuanzhong tried to contact Li Longji, but now his son actually said that he was Ang Lee's person. How could Wei Yuanzhong not be surprised?

"Father, do you know who the leader of the Jiewang Party is?"

"Who...is that traitor?"

Wei Wei smiled slightly: "The crown prince Li Chengqi...!"
