"The Ai family called you to come here for discussion, not for quarrel, let's go down." Wu Zetian was furious.

But this disturbance is no longer possible to continue.

When he walked out, Su Liangsi and Wei Zhifang looked at each other, and then everyone laughed. Su Liangsi said, "I didn't expect that, Mr. Wei, you are actually as excited as you are today."

"You are not bad either, I didn't expect it."

Laughing again, both of them were getting older, and as the laughter rippled, two big white beards fluttered in the wind.

The rain fell even harder, but the two of them seemed to be unaware of it.

The dialogue reached Wu Zetian's ears again and was very angry. I have not yet retired from politics. You are all so arrogant. I have issued an edict to demote Su Liangsi to the governor of Xiuzhou and Wei Fangzhi to the governor of Fengzhou. Both of these states are in Lingnan. It is better to say that they are exiled than to say that they are demoted.

There should not be too many talents in the court.

At this time, Wu Zetian was a little panicked. The normal logic was that as soon as her husband died, his son would show up with him. However, a man who had a deceiving death for a year and a half, had a son who had a reputation. The people's hearts had a son, and the Taoist charity seemed to have a son, even if he was a mother, the strength of the military team would be even more.

After issuing these two edicts, Wu Zetian felt extremely weak. She had never felt so powerless. Even if Shangguan Yi's advice was in danger, she could calmly resolve it. The more she thought about it, she became more angry, and then issued a secret edict that allowed more than a dozen caring guards to follow Su Wei and the others, wait for them to cross the Huai River and kill them halfway.

...

Di Renjie and Zhu Jingze came to Zhu Jingze's mansion.

Zhu Jingze was originally a wealthy family in the village. His family was not short of money, and his mansion was better than Di Renjie's small courtyard in Luoyang.

At this time, all the family members were exiled, the slaves fled in scattered, and the two houses were sealed together. It would be better for the two of them to stay in Zhu's mansion together and wait for the situation to change.

When I arrived at the door of Zhu's mansion, there was a seal on it.

A captain brought by Luo Wuqian drew a horizontal knife and pulled the seal open with one knife.

Zhu Jingze frowned and said, "You are your Majesty's tiger, and you must abide by the rules of the system."

"Okay, when is it time? What else can I do?" Di Renjie held his hand with amused, pushed open the door and walked in.

But both of them stood at the same time and had not entered the house. However, the scene in the front yard was very bleak. It turned out that there were many flowers and plants planted. It was when a hundred flowers bloomed. However, the flowers in the yard were also broken and the grass lay down. Several pots of Zhu Jingze's favorite orchids ran out of the pots. There was no complete leaf, and some roots were exposed naked. At this time, in the wind and rain, their hair was shaking, as if they were crying. It seemed as if ten mammoths were walking in the yard for ten hours.

After standing for a while, Di Renjie patted Zhu Jingze on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, life can be saved, which is a great blessing."

Smile bitterly and walked into the house.

This is the case outside the courtyard, not to mention the inside of the house. It was a mess, and all the valuables disappeared. Zhu Jingze actually found a flower pot, a small stove, a small bag of tea, and several tea cups from the messy items.

In the midst of suffering, I brought a bucket of water from the well in the patio and boiled tea.

Sitting down, looking at one of the guards, and asking, "Do you have money or silk on you?"

There is no penny, at least you need to buy biological products.

"Take it, I still have dozens of gold and silver coins on me," replied a guard.

"So please go out and buy some daily necessities for me and Xianggong Di."

"Here."

He took four guards out, and the remaining few diligent guards started cleaning the house, otherwise everyone would not be able to stay there.

Zhu Jingze made tea for Di Renjie and sat down silently. He survived his death, and his family was outside, and the house was turned like this, but he missed his family halfway.

Luo Wuqian also rushed back.

Zhu Jingze wanted to make tea for him, but Luo Wuzheng did not dare to be arrogant to Zhu Jingze. He was the pillar of His Majesty's future. He snatched the teapot and poured tea for himself.

Di Renjie asked, "What did the Empress Dowager say when he called you into the palace?"

Luo Wuzheng said the story roughly.

"You can't do this, the Queen Mother will eventually be His Majesty's mother," Zhu Jingze couldn't help but blame him.

Luo Wuzhu didn't take it seriously, and he was also a mother like this?

What else Zhu Jingze wants to say, let Di Renjie hold it back. If you say that, can Luo Wu listen to his mentality at this time? Ask the key thing: "General Luo, how are your majesty okay?"

"Your Majesty is very good, but I feel heartbroken when I hear so many people die."

This is inevitable. It is so difficult for Wu Zetian to take control of power. Can he be convinced if he does not kill people, from the families of ministers to the families of the people? But Di Renjie did not explain, sighed and said, "When will your Majesty be back?"

"It's about soon."

“It’s a little late to come back.”

"There is another game of chess in the north. Your Majesty told me that when I come back this time, the country will go from chaos to governance. Play a game of chess in the north and suppress the violent chaos of the Turks. The middle involves all aspects, and time is difficult to control."

"The Chess of the North," Di Renjie immediately thought of Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxu, and his eyes lit up.

The guard also came back with items of all sizes and bought a few jars of wine, a few pieces of roast beef, a few roasted chickens, and three boxes of cold dishes. Luo Wu asked them to put them on the table, and they were no longer polite at this time. Anyway, they were all in such a mess. Everyone sat down together, drank old wine and ate dishes. They were relatively speechless.

However, there were many people who were wandering around outside, wanting to ask about Li Wei's news. However, even Luo Wuqian knew that there was no need to be troublesome and closed the door. After a while, the rain fell and it was dusk. There were fogs, whether it was rain or evening mist, surrounding the sky above Luoyang. The sound of firecrackers came from time to time in the distance, and it has never stopped since the afternoon and until now. After hearing this, almost every household was celebrating.

It was also time for the official staff to pay the deposit, and the first guest came first. Wei Zhigu.

One of the officials who first walked into Li Wei's side was, but like Zhu Jingze, he was caught between Li Wei and Li Zhi and his son, and was in a dilemma. He was a very calm person with little words and gradually faded out of the circle around Li Wei. Li Wei still admired his talents very much. Even in the future rebuilding of the court, Wei Zhigu would occupy an important part of his life, but Wei Zhigu didn't know it.

Seeing him, I was a little surprised, and a little unsurprising, so I welcomed him in.

Let him sit down, Wei Zhigu waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll leave after saying a few words."

I thought he was avoiding suspicion, but he did not blame him. After all, under Wu Zetian's crazy and violent means, many ministers were scared. It was Di Renjie and Zhu Jingze himself, so why aren't they really afraid?

Wei Zhigu said: "Since the Empress Dowager issued an order to exile your family, I have done some treatments for Liang Jinzhu and Lu Ma's family. Don't worry, they will not be wronged on the road."

"That's great. Di thanked me to the staff," Di Renjie said happily. Not only did they have their family, but also two talented people, Di Hui and Di Hao.

"No need to thank me, the Lu Liang family spent a lot of money."

“How much did it cost?”

"You six families are in three places, so you can't afford to spend a total of more than 18,000 yuan."

"Get money." Zhu Jingze jumped up suddenly. One gold must be exchanged for nearly six coins, more than 18,000 gold. What is the huge amount?

"The world is in a state of turmoil, and it's not like the past few years. Without so much money, these yamen runners will not be moved. Besides, there is pressure from Duke Zhou, and with his anger, it's difficult for yamen runners to be human."

"It's hard to be..." Zhu Jingze didn't say it. Even if his family is in a good condition, he would be crushed to death by more than 10,000 yuan. There were no more than 50 state prefectures with a tax revenue of 18,000 yuan a year in the Tang Dynasty. How did these people open their exports?

"Zhaojian Zhu, don't get angry. Money is something outside your body. When Your Majesty comes back, there will be a time to settle them. Just keep them, especially the two talented people, including the family of Mr. Pei, Mr. Liu, and Mr. Li."

When Wei Zhigu heard Li Yiyan, his eyes were a little sad and said, "I originally wanted to rescue Mr. Li, but I was not able to do enough. It would be difficult for him to save his life."

Di Renjie and Zhu Jingze both sighed when they heard this.

Wei Zhigu also said: "In the afternoon, something happened. The Empress Dowager demoted Su Xianggong and Wei Xianggong out of the court and asked Liu Yizhi to serve as the new prime minister."

"Huh, why?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that the Empress Dowager called several prime ministers to the inner palace to discuss matters in the afternoon. Not long after, several prime ministers came out and the edict was issued. All I want to say is that I have to say goodbye. It's not because I am afraid that in extraordinary times, I will be safe in the court, or I can do something for you and His Majesty."

"Okay, then we won't give it."

As soon as he left, another guest came. Liu Qun from the East Palace found an excuse to leave the East Palace, came to Zhu's Mansion, and asked about Li Wei's news.

Di Renjie said: "You go back and tell the concubines of the Eastern Palace that Your Majesty is safe and will not come back soon. But let them be in the Eastern Palace, do not focus on quietness. Don't send people out to inquire about the news like today. You should not be happy and motivate the Queen Mother."

"Here."

There is no way. The empress dowager was so anxious that she left Su Wei, which means that she had lost some square inch. The empress dowager who lost square inch is not scary, but her intention to kill herself will be even stronger. A rational empress dowager will not attack the Eastern Palace at this moment, but an empress dowager who lost square inch is very likely to attack the Eastern Palace.

When Liu Qun left, it was almost dark.

Di Renjie and Zhu Jingze had no choice but to see how Wu Zetian took action next. If she were her, she would have surrendered her long ago, but as the Queen Mother, everything is possible.

But there is no hurry, why does His Majesty also have the upper hand at this time?

With a rare relaxation, Di Renjie and Zhu Jingze both drank high.

Di Renjie hit the bowl, while Zhu Jingze pulled up his rough throat and sang:

The descendants of Emperor Gaoyang,

My emperor said to Boyong.

Take the lead in Meng Zuoxi,

Only Gengyin I surrendered.
