"What do you think about your father? No matter how much you trust the old general Xue, there is no need to hand over all Qianniu Guards and Yulin Army to him. This is a violation of the rules in the palace. Even if the old general Xue has no intention, with his precedent, if there are really evil people who control Qianniu Guards and Yulin Army in the future, wouldn't it put the throne in danger?" Li Hong finally asked Zhang Zong very puzzledly.

Zhang Zong also frowned at this time. Li Zhi's behavior was indeed very unusual. Although he had previously guessed that in order to safely inherit the throne in the future, Li Zhi might use some trusted generals to strengthen his grasp of military power. Therefore, it is normal for Xue Rengui to be transferred back to the capital, but it is a bit abnormal to let him control two important military forces inside and outside the imperial city.

"I believe that Your Majesty's move must have profound meaning, but we don't understand it for the time being." In the end, Zhang Zong could only speak slowly. He could not guess Li Zhi's thoughts. In fact, the emperor's heart is the most difficult to guess, otherwise he would not have said that accompanying the king and accompanying the tiger. After all, no one knows what the emperor was thinking?

"By the way, did your Highness say there are three things? Apart from the appointment of the Old General Xue, there are two more things?" Zhang Zong asked again at this time. Li Zhi's thoughts were too difficult to guess, but it didn't matter. There would always be one day to understand in the future.

Li Hong was also a little disappointed when he saw that Zhang Zong could not guess his father's thoughts, but this was normal. After all, Zhang Zong did not have much contact with Li Zhi, and now he is so far apart, and some news is not very smooth, so let alone Zhang Zong, he himself can't guess his father's thoughts.

"The other two things can also be said to be one thing, and they are also related to Chongye!" Li Hong couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned Li Chongye.

Hearing that he had something to do with his student, Zhang Zong stood up and asked with concern: "What's wrong with him in Chongye?"

Seeing Zhang Zong's anxious look, Li Hong immediately waved his hand to him and said, "You don't have to worry, this matter has nothing to do with Chongye himself. It's just that Chongye wrote a letter yesterday, talking about the situation in Luoyang, especially about that woman, which also annoyed me very much..."

Li Hong said and told Li Chongye's letter again. Zhang Zong immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Li Chongye was fine, but when he heard Li Chongye's story about Wu Meiniang in his letter, he frowned again.

It turned out that after Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang moved to Luoyang, there was no restraint from Li Hong in the court, which made Wu Meiniang let go of her hands and feet. Many people had defected to Wu Meiniang before, and these people also had a lot of influence in the court. With the help of these people, Wu Meiniang's hands were stretched longer and longer.

What's worse is that Li Zhi's health is getting worse and worse. Li Chongye told Li Hong in his letter that Li Zhi had recently become ill and actually caused blindness. Although he gradually recovered a little later, his vision was not as good as before. He even had to rely on Li Chongye to read memorials to deal with government affairs.

It was also under this situation that Li Zhi had to hand over some less important government affairs to Wu Meiniang. In fact, Wu Meiniang had already started helping Li Zhi handle government affairs a few years ago. However, after being attacked many times, Li Zhi took back the power in her hands, which made Wu Meiniang much more honest, but now Wu Meiniang has regained the power to handle government affairs.

There is a saying that only after losing it is known to cherish it. The same is true for Wu Meiniang. After she regained power, her desire for power became stronger. She did almost everything herself, and she also placed her confidants in some important positions.

Although Li Chongye was not old, he had already accepted the advice from Li Hong and Zhang Zong before, asking him to stare at Wu Meiniang. Li Chongye also had ministers sent by Li Hong to assist him. So after he discovered Wu Meiniang's actions, he immediately wrote a letter to notify Li Hong. This was also the main reason why Li Hong came to find Zhang Zong.

"What do you think she is going to do? The father's condition has worsened. She doesn't want to take care of her, but she spends all her thoughts on the court. Is she really going to fight with me?" Finally, Li Hong said angrily. He hated Wu Meiniang very much and refused to even call him "mother" in private.

After listening to Li Hong's story, Zhang Zong was silent for a moment, and finally looked up and said, "Your Highness, do you say that Your Majesty transferred Old General Xue back to Beijing and let him take charge of Qianniu Guards and Yulin Army. Is it just guarding against her?"

"No, although that woman has great ambitions, she dare not disobey her father. Moreover, as long as her father says, she can immediately take back the power in her hands. There is no need for the father to spend so much effort to guard against her, right?" Li Hong said in disagreement when he heard Zhang Zong's words.

"It's hard to say, Your Majesty's long-term vision, maybe he is planning for a longer-term plan." Zhang Zong also frowned at this time. Judging from Wu Meiniang's actions in history, Li Zhi really has the need to be on guard against her. Moreover, Wu Meiniang's desire for power is so strong and she is so furious with Li Hong, so she will definitely not give up the power she has obtained easily.

"What is the last thing?" Zhang Zong suddenly asked again. They had expected Wu Meiniang to expand his power before, so it was not a surprise. Especially now that Li Zhi's health is getting worse and worse, Li Hong has to stay in Chang'an again and cannot return to Luoyang for the time being, so this also gave Wu Meiniang an excellent opportunity.

"This last thing..." Li Hong showed a hesitant look when he mentioned the last thing. After a moment, he finally spoke, "Actually, this thing is about you!"

"Me?" Zhang Zong was even more surprised when he heard this. Didn't Li Hong say that the last two things were related to Li Chongye, why did it have to do with him again?

Li Hong hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Actually... I actually want you to go to Luoyang first!"

"I'm going to Luoyang?" Zhang Zong was even more surprised when he heard this.

"Yes, although Chongye did a good job in Luoyang, he was still too young. He could only help monitor the palace, but he couldn't do anything. For example, like now, the woman in the palace expanded her power, Chongye could only write a letter to me and could not do anything, but if you were in Luoyang, it would be completely different." Li Hong said very seriously.
