.Wu Zetian saw a bright future and was still cautious and sent an envoy to question Heiqi Changzhi again. Heiqi Changzhi still hesitated, and his voice became lower and lower.

The messenger came back to report.

Wu Zetian did something first, arrested Wang Cainian and secretly interrogated him in the palace. Not only Wang Cainian, but also Wang Cainian also bought the eunuchs, and were also strangled in the Eastern Palace, implicating more than 30 eunuchs.

It turned out that my son was just a person who read poetry and books, obeyed ancient etiquette, and did not change his dogma. He never paid attention. Later, through various signs, he realized that his son had also installed people around him. However, he also installed people around his son, and was afraid of setting a precedent when he was killed. Moreover, Li Wei had already had many rights in his hands at that time. So he came to Shangyang Palace and sent Wang Cainian to the inner palace. After arriving at the inner palace, he sent Wang Cainian to the Shangyang Palace. He did not let him get in touch with the inside story.

However, Wu Zetian was very unhappy about this matter until a genius broke out and removed all the eyeliners from Li Wei in the inner palace in one fell swoop.

After hearing this, several women in the Eastern Palace were a little anxious. Shangguan Wan'er asked Di Cong to leave the palace again and asked Di Renjie to plead for Wang Cainian.

After hearing Qiu Yao's words, Di Renjie shook his head and said, "Peng'er, if there is no accident, this is the beginning. And you, try to leave the palace as little as possible in the future, and tell Wanyi that you should be less careful. If you don't do it well, you will implicate the East Palace."

Although Wang Cainian is His Majesty's man and has done a lot of things for His Majesty, he cannot save him. Besides, he only has the reputation of a prime minister. If he has too many things in charge, the empress dowager will doubt it, and even he will die.

There are also several concubines and princes in the Eastern Palace that also worried him.

The Empress Dowager cannot confirm that Your Majesty is dead. If he confirms, the princes of the Eastern Palace will also be in trouble for the Empress Dowager. Don’t talk about grandson, they are the flesh that fell from their own sons and daughters... The Empress Dowager will not kill him as soon as possible.

If you want to kill all the princes, the first ones will be the ones who will be affected.

Now I can only ask for the emperor's plan. I really want to ask Liu Rengui, but Wu Zetian's eyes and ears all over Luoyang, Di Renjie had some heroes in his hands, and he didn't dare to use them. He was afraid that the news would leak and ruin Li Wei's major events.

Di Ci was very clever and immediately reacted and then returned to the palace.

After killing Wang Cainian and waiting for the Qinghai envoy to return, Wu Zetian did another thing.

Last year, he rewarded the kings and won over the hearts of the kings. Among them, there were several important royal families. The four sons of Li Yuan's twenty-two sons existed in the world, including Han Wangya, Jia, Zheng Wanglingman, Huo Wangyun, Gui, Shu Wangyaming, Li Shimin's second sons, Yue Wangzhen, Ji Wangshen, and Li Zhi's eight sons, one was killed and the other died of illness. Wu Zetian's biological sons, and she was let to kill one by herself. Among the two imprisoned, one was unknown for life and death. In addition, there were Li Shangjin and Li Sujie, who were half-dead by Wu Zetian in recent years.

In addition, there are royal families left by Li Yuan's cousins, but they are not orthodox and do not pose much danger to Wu Zetian.

After half a year, Wu Zetian gave a second reward. This time, it was not a title, but wealth, and he rewarded a lot of wealth. After the reward, they were asked to move, for example, they were the governor of Jiazhou, Hedong, and moved to Yizhou, Hebei to be the governor.

In this way, we arrived at a place where we were unfamiliar with officials, the people had no kindness, and the soldiers did not know each other, so we had to be a good man.

After doing this, I did the next thing.

She did not say that, and used what Wu Chengsi said, and named the ancestor of the Wu clan as king. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, a few princes were set up just to win over some Hu people to lead the way, but Wu Chengsi obviously did not refer to the princes. Not only did he make this request, he also requested the establishment of the seven temples of the Wu clan.

Later, no matter what temple name you set up, as long as you have money, you can set up slowly, and you can set up whatever you want, and no one dares to interfere. But in this era, it has a strong meaning. It is not the ancestors of emperors, but the temples cannot be built. Since ancient times, after many powers have been released, how many people dare to make a king and a temple name for their ancestors?

Several prime ministers looked at each other, Wei Xuan and Liu Jingxian, Mu Changqian, and Guo Daiju turned their heads to look at Pei Yan together

In their hearts, Pei Yan was still a very upright minister and was favored by the Queen Mother. He hoped that he would give advice and cancel Wu Zetian's plan when speaking.

Pei Yan also frowned.

Wu Zetian's approach is not what he should have in the script. He hopes that the empress dowager will be a empress dowager with power, rather than that she has bigger thoughts. However, when the emperor's life and death are unknown, the huge shadow still exists, and the words are silent.

Liu Jingxian and others were a little disappointed.

This is not a change to the official system. Although some feminine names have been changed, the rights are still the same rights, and the affairs under the jurisdiction are still those, and the substance has not changed and can be tolerated. Appointing a king for the ancestors also means that you will reach the sky.

Especially Liu Jingxian, he was very disappointed. Pei Yan was originally a good person wronged by the emperor and a gentleman, but after such a big thing happened, he didn't dare to give advice. How could a gentleman come up with a gentleman? He even vaguely felt that when the Supreme Emperor called himself into the palace, he recommended Pei Yan, which was a wrong move.

Pei Yan didn't say that as the second minister, he was about to stand up and speak. He said slowly: "Mr. Liu is in Xijing to prevent the incident of Empress Lu. The Empress Dowager should be wary of Empress Lu's defeat." Wu Zetian replied calmly: "Empress Lu was a vassal of his deceased relatives. I am just chasing my ancestors. It's just a trivial matter. What's wrong?"

Not only him, but Wei Xuanzhong also regretted it. He has been swaying between Li Wei and Pei Yan for a long time. It’s not that he wants to speculate, it’s that he has not seen through Pei Yan, why Pei Yan has authority on his words, it’s that he has made it through his important ministers, and Cheng Wu and several generals who support him?

Sure enough, he stood up and said, "Why is the temple name a small matter? Even if it is a small matter, you must be careful of the gradual progress." Di Renjie also stood up. The situation was becoming more and more beneficial to Your Majesty, but he did not want to see Wu Zetian really become the emperor. Wu Zetian had this terrible direction and took Wei Xuantong's words and advised: "If the empress dowager pursues his ancestors, I think it's OK, but I must not establish a temple name. This is the national system. Once the empress dowager starts this, if the empress dowager is young in the future, the empress dowager will also learn to establish a temple name. Without the talent and character of the empress dowager, everything will happen. The empress dowager must be careful."

Wu Zetian raised a sneer on the corner of his mouth. The jade chariot was already hot and the throne was stable. How could you three, the little prime minister, stop it.

He didn't listen. He hid behind the curtain and left the prime ministers.

Continue to discuss politics the next day.

Wu Zetian is very energetic and is not the most diligent in handling government affairs, but he is not lazy either.

In fact, it is very hard to be a good emperor. Li Wei had experience of it. The three provinces sent countless memorials every day, and he had to think about the future of the entire country. Even the death penalty cases across the country had to be checked. With the memorials handed over by the three provinces, if they were reviewed one by one, they might not sleep all day and night. This is the disadvantage of governing the world with one person.

I don't know why my mother is so obsessed with power.

It would be great if you were a status queen mother, and you would have whatever you wanted. How much energy does it take to be an emperor and how many brain cells you have to die every day? And I made repeated promises not to make you a boring queen mother. I also want to ask you to stand behind me as a reference for me. However, my mother's desire for power has reached a pathological level.

In fact, if possible, Li Wei really wants to be a free prince or a puppet emperor. After all, he is an emperor, with three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines, and he enjoys endless wealth and honor. But he knows that it is not feasible. The more rights his mother controls, the greater the ambition and the greater the ambitions. On this road to power, everyone who hinders her will undoubtedly be killed. She is willing to be a puppet emperor, because she is famous, she will sooner or later be killed.

So I heard that the Wulu family is not a solution.

This time, two people were dealt with. Liu Jing had advocated the initiative and publicly opposed her, demoted her to the governor of Ji Prefecture, and Wei Xuantong was demoted to the governor of Yuezhou.

All the ministers were stunned. The Empress Dowager wanted to follow me and prosper, and those who went against me would perish.

But Di Renjie looked behind the curtain with a gaze, and you belittle me too. We were very worried when we stayed in Luoyang. It was not Liu Jingxian, and he had nothing to do with His Majesty. Once the empress dowager wanted to do something to him, there was only one way to die. Instead, it became very safe. Wu Zetian looked at Di Renjie's expression and felt very strange. He understood it in a while. An arc was raised on the corner of his beautiful mouth. However, his smile was immediately lost because he saw a cloud of clouds on Pei Yan's face. At this time, Pei Yan was finally a little dissatisfied.

I did not object, and Liu and Wei opposed it, and the strength was not great, and the empress dowager was too heavy. And these two people had a close relationship with me. Once they were demoted, they would have lost two important wings in the court. Could it be that the empress dowager would not let me go in the end?

This made him think of something soberly that the emperor had almost no chance of returning, and the soldiers of the Western Regions of Qinghai continued to persevere. But once the emperor really had no chance of life, no matter how brave they were without the support of righteousness, they would be nothing.

Then, if the distribution of power in the court is in the hands of the empress dowager and the other in his own hands, the conflict will sooner or later intensify. But he wants to fight back, but he feels that there is no possibility of fighting back. Moreover, he dare not fight back until the emperor's message is implemented.

After nearly a year of cooperation, a slight hindrance finally occurred.

Wu Zetian snorted coldly in his heart and continued to issue an order.

Wu Zetian was not willing to take down two prime ministers in a row. Yes, there were not too many people in the court. I wondered who was obedient, so Zuo Suzheng's taste was the most important thing. Li Jingmou, a servant of Fengge, was the third rank of the Secretariat, and was the counselor of the Secretariat Cui Bi and Shen Junliang as the same party.

The official official who was the official position of Ming Chongyan was the one who was obedient, even if you were a small official of the fourth and fifth rank, you could still be the prime minister.

Several people looked at each other and thought it was a joke, but this kind of joke made them feel a strong threat. They were disobedient, right? Don’t have too many people who want to get promoted.

Wu Zetian then stared at Di Renjie, and Wu Zetian admired this minister very much. There were many ministers in the court, either as talented as Pei Yan, but without backbone. No matter how capable the administration and how good the talent was, Wu Zetian always looked down on him. Such people could only be used as chess pieces. Or a few people had backbone and character, but lacked talent. There were only a handful of people who had both.

Before he got his son's whereabouts, Di Renjie could not move casually. Behind him was a powerful imperial party, which was not in the Political Affairs Hall, among the middle and lower-level officials, among the soldiers, and among the people. Moreover, Liu Rengui was eyeing Xijing. This is one of them.

Besides, there was the last emperor's will, and he was abolished before he was buried. The public was very concerned about the public, and this result was not what she wanted.

Of course, there is also Pei Yan.

So he said again: "Take Di Renjie to accept the words."

That is, he replaced Liu Jingxian's official position and the head of the branch province.

After saying that, he glanced at Pei Yan again. Pei Yan was powerful and needed to be restrained. Although he transferred four prime ministers in one breath, these people lacked talent, so he needed a capable minister to form a balance with Pei Yan.

However, Di Renjie was unhappy and said, "The Empress Dowager, I am so proud of my promotion, and I dare not accept it."

It is wrong to be the Minister of Revenue. It is the third rank of the minister of the minister of the Tianguan. They are all like a broken slit. Now they are promoted to be the minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Wouldn't you want me to be harmed?

He was very sober, the higher he pushed, the worse he fell.

"Di Qing, you are a minister who is emphasized by the last emperor's will. You dare not accept it. Where can you put the last emperor?" Wu Zetian said coldly.

Qiu Renjie was so scared that he shivered and dared not speak.

Wu Zetian said again: "The Ai family has appointed you as a way to accept the words, so you must also be loyal to the Ai family's national affairs."
