The Luoyang Palace is already full of murderous intent.

Teams of guards were allocated, and then, on this windy and dark night, someone's dormitory was kicked open.

"Who..."

"Can General Zhang be there?"

"It's Zhao Zhonglang, what's the matter with Zhao Zhonglang looking for me?"

The voice of his speech was obviously much softer, dark and was a temporary residence during the garrison. There was no light in the room, which was very dim.

"The governor will summon all the generals tonight and discuss with you if you have any major issues. General Zhang, the military orders are as good as a mountain, and prepare quickly."

“Yes, yes.”

The man turned over and couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied. Zhao Zhonglang, relying on his son-in-law, was too arrogant. The governor searched for someone, so why did he kick the door? Also, what were the two personal soldiers at the door making? Why didn't they inform him?

However, General Zhang was only thinking about whether something had happened or whether the governor was unhappy, so he did not dare to neglect it. He quickly turned over and took the lights. He was also drunk with a little bit of alcohol. When he made a fire note and lit the candlelight, he was stunned when he looked back.

There were four or five people, each of them was murderous intent. The head of the governor was Zhao Chao, the son-in-law of the governor. However, Zhao Chao was holding a knife in his hand and looked fierce, which was not good...

General Zhang took a step back and frowned: "Zhao Zhonglang is this..."

Zhao Chao said slowly: "The governor rebelled and has been executed. General Zhang, you have always had a close friend with Wei Zhengde. You have a son who has received his favor and was transferred to the Daming Palace in Chang'an, right?"

General Zhang's mind suddenly buzzed. The governor treason and was killed?

He dared not believe such a thing, but he dared not believe it. Logically speaking, isn’t you, Zhao Chao, the one who really had a close relationship with Wei Zhengde, and you are still his son-in-law?

However, it is not wrong for General Zhang to be Wei Zhengde's confidant. Wei Zhengde killed Wu Zetian and did not ask General Zhang to go. It was just that once something happened, the imperial guards outside would need many trustworthy people to control. Therefore, this matter was not informed of the "General Zhang". This was just Wei Zhengde's backup plan.

General Zhang rolled his Adam's apple, but he couldn't make a sound for a while because he really didn't know what was going on.

But Zhao Chao couldn't wait any longer. He held the knife and said viciously: "You are Wei Zhengde's gangster. Now that the incident has happened, we are ordered to kill the thief, come and kill!"

The word "kill" was brought up by a sword wind, which extinguished the just-lit cardamom candle fire, and the room fell into darkness again. But then, a scream came from the sound of a wolf and a tiger rushed forward, and a fierce slashed, and the smell of blood spread. Someone kicked it a few times and said, "Zhao Zhonglang, he is dead."

Zhao Chaohe nodded, his spirit was now in a state of madness. He suppressed his trembling voice and said, "The next one, there is Zhu Jin."

Tonight... many people are destined to die.

Wei Zhengde has been in charge for so long, and he has long since installed many people in Luoyang's imperial guards. Although some of these people, such as Zhao Chao, were called by Wei Zhengde to kill Wu Zetian, there are still some of them mixed in the imperial guards.

Zhao Chao and others could no longer go back. When they held their swords and killed Wei Zhengde, they had no choice. Their new master was sleeping peacefully in Changle Palace, but they had to clear out all potential dangers here. These people were all backbones of the imperial guards, each with their own confidants and personal soldiers. In addition, they had their own decrees and actions at this time. They each had their own rosters. Anyone who would become an obstacle to the new master in the future would not be alive to see the dawn of tomorrow tonight, and no one would stay!

Zhao Chao's eyes were covered with blood, but he was tireless. The smell of blood penetrated his nose. He had no reaction at all and was already numb.

He said slowly: "Which door Zhu Jin is on duty tonight?"

"Andingmen."

Immediately afterwards, the messy footsteps sounded.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The dawn of the morning was just beginning to reveal its golden morning sun, as if it was blooming, directly shooting on the glazed tiles of Luoyang Palace. The palace walls seemed to be covered with gold. The garrisons were still standing here in various palaces and palace gates.

No one knows what happened after the closed door. For most of the people, today is still the same as yesterday, as many days, and nothing unusual.

The only thing that is rare is that the Yingtianmen tunnel is open.

Yingtianmen was originally called Zetianmen, but after Li Xian ascended the throne, he changed the name of the gate of the imperial palace directly south.

This is certainly a small measure to hide Wu Zetian's influence, and this gate is almost equivalent to the main gate of Luoyang Palace. It is almost never open in normal times. It will only open occasionally when the emperor travels, or when the princes and envoys from various countries meet.

Since the Emperor moved the capital, this gate seemed to have become a taboo. As long as the Emperor was still in Chang'an, he would never come in and out, and the envoys and vassal kings would never come again. Therefore... According to common sense, it should always be closed, unless the master of the Tang Dynasty came to visit when he was intrigued.

But now, the emperor is far away in Chang'an, but the door is open.

Immediately afterwards, a carriage arrived at the palace gate.

Zhao Chao was almost smiling. He had already put on a new pair of armor and put it on his body, looking quite majestic, but the smile on his face had already disappeared. He almost quickly brought a few soldiers to usher. Then, the carriage stopped, and the people in the carriage came down. The first one was Qin Shaoyou.

Qin Shaoyou got out of the car, then carefully helped Shangguan Wan'er get out of the car.

Shangguan Wan'er's sudden appearance surprised Qin Shaoyou.

In fact, there was not much time along the way to let Qin Shaoyou care about what happened in the palace.

Originally, if someone from the palace came to invite Qin Shaoyou into the palace and said that the emperor summoned him, Qin Shaoyou would never have left because Wu Zetian had been software. Even with her sacred order, it might be that the emperor was held hostage and wrote. Once he entered the Luoyang Palace, it would be the territory of the Wei family, and Qin Shaoyou would never take this risk.

But what came to convey was Shangguan Wan'er. This may be the intentional arrangement of the Emperor. If Shangguan Wan'er had not personally taken charge, how could he win the trust of Qin Shaoyou? How could he guarantee Qin Shaoyou that this was indeed what Wu Zetian meant.

When Qin Shaoyou met Shangguan Wan'er, he had almost no hesitation because he absolutely trusted her. Since that was the case, he would naturally enter the palace.

On the way, Qin Shaoyou only asked about the general situation. He couldn't care about the thrilling things in the palace, but he knew some important information.

Wei Zhengde was dead, and the Luoyang Imperial Guards' Governor had already easily fallen to the ground. Moreover, the opening of Yingtian Gate almost made Qin Shaoyou determine that Wu Zetian had already mastered the entire palace, and even all the Imperial Guards.

I think... it's really ridiculous.

In order to imprison Wu Zetian and make the imperial guards another constraint for Qin Shaoyou, the Wei family almost wasted their efforts. Their management in the imperial guards was far deeper than many people thought. The Luoyang Palace should have been the iron barrel of the Wei family. It became the thorn in Qin Shaoyou's throat and Wu Zetian's cage, but... it was turned over overnight.

Qin Shaoyou raised his eyes and looked at the still majestic palace city. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that there were countless changes here, and only the most powerful person in the world could become the master here. Now, the new master here is waiting for him in Changle Palace.

Without being energetic and not being proud of anything, Qin Shaoyou stepped forward and his mind was a little confused.

However, Shangguan Wan'er finally calmed Qin Shaoyou a lot. He didn't believe in Wu Zetian, but he believed in Shangguan Wan'er. Maybe he hadn't met for two years, but Qin Shaoyou still believed in this woman deeply.

Zhao Chao smiled like a spring breeze. He first saluted Shangguan Wan'er and said intimately: "Shangguan Guan Guan, be careful."

He also said to Qin Shaoyou: "I have seen Your Highness, and I will be polite."

Qin Shaoyou just smiled at him. This man was very polite, but the imperial guards and the Shence Army were incompatible and had almost never had any contact. Therefore, Qin Shaoyou only recognized Wei Zhengde, and no one else could recognize him.

However... I guess this person, Zhu Lou, must have figured out his background, but for Zhu Lou, anyone who is in their place is just a cold and cold text record, what is his life, whether he has a beard, how long is his beard, whether his eyebrows are thick or sparse, whether his eyes are big or small, anyway... Qin Shaoyou cannot use these things to identify people.

Zhao Chao led the way, while a team of imperial guards followed Qin Shaoyou and Shangguan Wan'er, and went to Luoyang Palace, and Shangguan Wan'er went to report first.

At this time, it was still early, so Wu Zetian had not yet gotten up, so Qin Shaoyou could only wait outside. As for Zhao Chao, he was also reluctant to do so. He smiled at Qin Shaoyou and was quite pleased. Occasionally, he exchanged a few greetings with Qin Shaoyou, so Qin Shaoyou naturally answered indifferently. After all, there were too many things, and Qin Shaoyou needed time to slowly digest the change.

However, one thing seems certain is that Wu Zetian has completely turned the world around.
