The sound of firecrackers in the whole city of Tuoyang can be heard even when staying in the palace.

bu

In order to keep it secret, the recipe inside is mixed with some messy and useless things. It is like the sound of burning bamboo, but it is still very dull compared to the firecrackers in later generations. I feel good, lively and bad, and I feel upset.

Wu Zetian couldn't help but curse, "Are these troublemakers crazy?"[]

"Empress Dowager, today is Shangsi Festival."

"Li Shoucheng, do you think the Ai family is old too!"

I dare not disperse my maids."

"Don't be too naive. This unfilial son will not do anything to me. The purpose of doing this is to prepare for an excuse to cut off everyone around me. Including my nephew, my trusted ministers, and you servants!"

"yes."

"Forget it, go and call the ministers and Sansi." My heart was also confused. See if these prime ministers have good plans. There are more people and many ideas.

"Here."

Several prime ministers brought them up again.

In just one afternoon, the prime minister changed again, and it was replaced by Wu Chengsi, the taste of the village, Wang Dezhen, the strings, Pei Judao, Liu Miezhi, and there was also Wu Sansi who bowed his head and pondered.

Wu Zetian glanced at everyone, saying that Pei Judao would stop thinking about it. He is his son's father-in-law. Wu Chengsi and Wang Dezhen have limited talents. Using them is not to do things, but to protect their own rights. Once the rights are stable, Wang Dezhen will inevitably be abolished.

Can Wang De really stop being abolished? He knew too much of Wu Zetian's secrets, and he could only advance but not retreat. Once he retreated, Wu Zetian would definitely kill him in order not to reveal too much inside information. He did not think of it and was still thinking hard for Wu Zetian, but he couldn't think of a good idea. Wu Chengsi was the same. When Wu Zetian saw their expressions, he didn't ask again.

The same is true for Wei Daishui. He was obedient and went to the Qinghai battlefield again. He promoted him to the future and controlled the state's military power. Wu Zetian was worried.

So she stared at Wu Sansi, the taste of the village and Liu Sizhi. But she didn't come up with a solution, let alone these three people.

After a long silence, Wu Zetian said to Liu Lu: "Liu Qing, what are your opinions?"

One is Liu Han's talent, the second is his confidant, and the third is his great kindness to him, and he has nothing to be promoted to the Bachelor of the North Gate and then to the Prime Minister. You should serve me.

Liu Xizhi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is safe and sound, and it is inevitable that you will return to the country to take charge of the government."

Wu Zetian had to nod.

There was no one who did not intend to let him take charge of the government, but he wanted to force his son to make some concessions in the distribution of rights. But this son was very hateful, deliberately pretending to be dead, deliberately giving himself the opportunity to control his rights, so that he could do something extreme, which would make the people dissatisfied and lose morality.

"Continue talking."

After receiving Wu Zetian's encouragement, Liu Miezhi became bolder and continued: "But the crown prince must come down. We are a Central Plains country, and our son inherits the father's business, not the barbarians on the grassland, and our brother inherits the brother's business. Besides, because of the Luling King, the crown prince was directly locked in the deep palace, and the public opinion in the outside world is not very nice."

"Liu Xuzhi, you have something to say," Wu Chengsi said dissatisfiedly.

"Duke Zhou, I am seeking truth from facts."

"Liu Mianzhi, your conscience is eaten by the dog." Wu Chengsi used to be arrogant, but today he was defeated and swear words emerged.

The quarrel started again, and Wu Zetian said unhappily: "Get out."

He drove the prime ministers out again.

Then his face became dark. Liu Mianzhi's words were a very bad signal. Wu Chengsi didn't see it, but he knew it. He had pulled the third brother off the stage and helped the fourth brother to take office. He used two people, one was Pei Yan and the other was Liu Yizhi. He was very close to the fourth brother, and the fourth brother once regarded him as a teacher. He was afraid that the fourth brother would cause trouble in the court and controlled him in the deep palace. Liu Mianzhi lost his composure in his heart. It was for friendship and for rights. He originally thought that if he could support the fourth brother to take office, he would be able to jump into the dragon gate.

Don’t you know that the rights are given to you by this palace?

The eldest sons did not show up, they were very well-behaved, and once they appeared, they were not honest.

If this is not possible, the eldest son is still unknown. It is possible that some officials in the capital are brave enough to do the following things and imprison themselves. Don’t say that there are no, there are not too many similar things in history books.

They really wanted to rebel. She might tolerate Qiu Renjie and Zhu Jingze, and maybe tolerate Su Liangsi and Chuan Fangzhi, but she would never tolerate Liu Mianzhi. This is called rebellion. She worked hard and she really raised a venomous snake.

He called Zhou Xing and said, "Mr. Zhou, the Ai family heard about what happened on Tianjin Bridge today."

"Empress Dowager" Zhou Xing cried, especially people like him, who are most afraid of death.

"It doesn't matter, the Ai family can keep you safe."

Thank you to the Queen Mother.”

Coax him and let him bite him for the last time. He said, "Mr. Zhou, someone secretly reported that Liu Miezhi supported the crown prince and wanted to rebel. You go and check it."

Zhou Xingxin led the leader to take the order. However, after this trouble, Wu Zetian woke up.

It seems that these prime ministers may not be able to do it, so I have to find a way. I thought of someone, Pei Yan. The person who is really capable is still this person and has the appeal. It just so happened that he had not completely stopped his position as prime minister, and the Political Affairs Hall continued to stay in the Secretariat Province, and everyone retained a little affection.

Moreover, he had conflicts with him, and he was far less than his son's conflict with him. Once his son came back, he would definitely die. So he issued the first edict to resolve the situation, and ordered Pei Yan to return to Luoyang quickly and preside over the overall situation. Luoyang must ensure a stable environment. If it is stable, there must be a loyal Yulin Army. So he issued the second edict to let Qiu Shendian control the Yulin Army soldiers in Luoyang. Jiang Sizong and others assist.

The soldiers from all passes in the western borders of Chang'an must also be stabilized, otherwise a big joke will appear today. A third edict was issued, allocating one million yuan from the treasury to reward soldiers from all walks of life, including the army in the north, and to stabilize and win over the morale of the army.

It was still not enough, so I issued an edict to transfer Zhang Qianxun from the northern army and guard the West with Linghu Zhitong. These two generals were all generals who betrayed their son and were incompatible with their son. They guarded the West to ensure nothing happened. But I thought of another thing, if the cavalry was telling the truth and the son came back from the north, what should I do? I couldn't think of a strategy to resolve it, and she didn't understand the military, so I wrote a letter to Cheng Wuting, so I asked Cheng Wuting to judge for himself.

After issuing these defense measures, Wu Zetian's heart was slightly calmer, but it was not a real strategy to resolve it.

At this moment, Li Shoucheng walked in and whispered: "Report to the Empress Dowager, the East Palace just sent a female official Liu Qun to Zhu Jingze's mansion."

"I can't help it so soon," Wu Zetian became angry again and said, "Go and send someone to the East Palace to beat Liu Qun to death."

"Empress Dowager, no, no, no room for anything," Li Shoucheng was anxiously pulling up Wu Zetian's skirt sleeve and said, "It doesn't matter if the Empress Dowager kills her, but I'm afraid that Your Majesty will come back and learn from the Empress Dowager and kill my servants. If the Nu Jiao dies, they will die, but those loyal servants serve the Empress Dowager."

If you can kill the eunuchs and maids in the Eastern Palace, you can kill us when the emperor comes back. No matter how great your ability is, if you don’t have our subordinates doing things for you, you will be emptied by the emperor.

"Then you go and give the order and whip her twenty."

"Here, Queen Mother, I have a suggestion."

"explain."

"Since Your Majesty issued an edict to pardon Qiu Renjie and Zhu Jingze, and he was not very active, so the Empress Dowager would also issue an edict to pardon their crimes. There are also families of six families, so I will find excuses for Your Majesty in the future."

"Do you want the Ai family to surrender to their son?"

"Empress Dowager, I dare not. The times are different. Please think twice," Li Shoucheng was so scared that he knelt down.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, he was dissatisfied with some of Wu Zetian's actions. Qinghai said it well, and everyone cooperated in the future. The emperor also agreed to give some rights to the empress dowager. Even after taking power, he would retain the opportunity for the empress dowager to participate in politics. Isn't this great? Why did the empress dowager pressed step by step and finally formed the current situation?

This is his idealization with Li Wei.

Since ancient times, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, how is it possible?

However, Wu Zetian's approach was more realistic, but she suffered a loss in her reputation. A woman, Li Weini, was in charge of Nanzhao and obtained military power and the military tactics taught by Pei Xingjian, and controlled most of the army. Otherwise, who would not be able to win the destiny.

If you don’t believe others, you believe in this old eunuch Wu Zetian very much. After pondering for a while, you will forgive me directly. It’s not very nice. It may even make people think that they are afraid of their son and bow their heads if they don’t fight. If you are afraid, who dares to work for them again?

After thinking for a while, he said, "You have sent an edict to Yuan Wanqing and asked him to write an edict for the Ai family to issue it to the world. Your Majesty has received great luck and is safe and sound. The Ai family will go to the White Horse Temple to hold a meeting, thank God. In addition, a general amnesty for the world."

Since the world was amnesty, Qiu Renjie and Zhu Jingze were fine. Moreover, their family members were able to return. They did not lose face, and they made a statement to the people of the world and regained some morality.

"The Queen Mother, what a clever plan."

"Don't be too verbally done, go and do this."

The next day, the sky cleared up, and the weather was pleasant, neither lukewarm nor hot, with flowers blooming, bees and butterflies dancing. The riding staff walked in with a smile and said, "Mr. Qiu, it's nothing."

"oh."

"The Empress Dowager issued an edict and pardoned the world."

If she doesn't agree, she will not forgive the world. At this time, would she dare to continue to kill Qiu Renjie and Zhu Jingze forcibly? She is really not going to leave a way out? But she will forgive the world and save trouble.

"What else?" said the cavalry officer.

"The Queen Mother is still unwilling to give up."

So what if you are willing?" Cai Wu turned his mouth away

"Don't underestimate the Queen Mother."

Zhu Jingze walked out of the room and asked, "What's the matter?"

After eating too much wine, he yelled again in the middle of the night, his throat was a little hoarse. The cavalry clapped and said, "Zhu Shaojian, the song I sang last night was so good."

"Sing?" He thought he had eaten too much wine and forgot all. The guards just laughed, and Qiu Renjie whispered in his ear.

Zhu Jingze was ashamed and said, "It seems that you can't eat too much wine. Eating too much will make you miss the problem." But it can be understood that even Qiu Renjie himself lost his attitude. One is to escape from death, and the other is to confirm that Li Wei is safe and sound.

Then the cavalry commandered the guards again, and they should be careful. There will probably be no more swords, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no hidden arrows.

White Horse Temple began to become lively.

In his later years, Wu Zetian's most common places were Baima Temple and Shaolin Temple. Shaolin Temple was located in Songshan and had a kingly atmosphere. However, the journey was a little far, so he dared not leave Luoyang at this time. He set up the ** meeting in Baima Temple.

Many great monks came.

Many people also went to Baima Temple to incense, thinking that it was God's help and went to fulfill their wishes together. However, Wu Zetian was still dealing with government affairs in the wing room of Baima Temple. He was very nostalgic. He saw a memorial written by Li Chongyi, the governor of Xiazhou. The memorial said that Tuyuhun Khan Noh Bo followed the empress dowager's edict and led 5,000 troops to support Shuozhou and successfully passed through Xiazhou. He himself drew two thousand soldiers to assist.

The Empress Dowager asked Tuyuhun to send reinforcements. She was afraid and wanted to draw some of the troops to go there. Regardless of whether she could win credit or not, she would at least not be held accountable afterwards.

Wu Zetian was a little confused. He would have issued an edict to ask Nuo Hun to send troops? But he didn't care. Perhaps Nuo Yibo was a Tuyuhun native, and the two sides did not communicate well, which caused him to misunderstand. This was the news that Nuo Hun did not know that his son was safe, so he took the initiative to show his goodwill to him. But what could the five thousand Tuyuhun soldiers do? This time the Turks dispatched 200,000 troops!

Put down the memorial and continue reading the next book.

**The meeting was held for three days, and Wu Zetian returned to Luoyang. Luoyang was still very peaceful for the time being, and nothing else happened. However, as soon as Wu Zetian put down the Buddhist scriptures, he raised the butcher's knife. After Zhou Xing's interrogation, Liu Sizhi could not withstand the torture and admitted to rebellion.

Treason is the top crime in this era, not Qiu Renjie's life.

Behead immediately.

This knife continues with a strong warning meaning. Don’t think that if Your Majesty comes back, you can do whatever you want. If you don’t listen to me, I can still kill you.
To be continued...
