Chapter 18: Pressing Forward

Wu Mei's calm and calm voice came slowly, "The concubine is inconvenienced, and I ask the emperor to forgive the concubine for her rudeness." Shadow, help me up. Tang Ying hurriedly walked to her couch and helped her up.

When Li Zhi saw her big belly, which was about to be full-term, he immediately felt a little unbearable, and hurriedly said: "Mei Niang is unwell, just sit and talk." ”

Shangguan Yi keenly noticed that Li Zhi's attitude was a little shaken, and immediately coughed dryly. Wu Mei glanced at Shangguan Yi lightly, and when she saw that he was holding a fold in her hand, she asked, "Does Lord Shangguan still have political affairs to do, and the concubine should avoid it." ”

Shangguan Yi took a step forward and said aggressively, "Niangniang doesn't have to avoid it, the matter of the old minister's performance is still related to Niangniang!" ”

Wu Mei ignored him, turned to look at Li Zhi, blinked her big, bright eyes and asked, "Oh? What is it? ”

Li Zhi took two steps behind his back, and finally found a chair to sit down, and pushed the folds of the dragon robe with his palms crampedly, saying, "Yes...... Some of the behaviors of Mei Niang. ”

Wu Mei raised her head slightly, turned to face Shangguan Yi, and said loudly: "Can the concubine please ask Lord Shangguan to explain to me, what is debatable about the concubine's behavior?" ”

Li Zhi only felt that his throat was dry, and he waved his hand at Shangguan Yi, who saluted proudly, but unfolded the song and read: "There is a merge of the Wu clan's charming mother, the fox charms the lord, and in order to seize the queen's position, he slandered and framed the former queen Wang clan with a winning technique." Since he took the throne, he forced the crown prince to be deposed, and brutalized the loyal and good eldest grandson Wuji, colluded with the ministers of the court, interfered in the government affairs, and intended to usurp the Tang Dynasty. What's more, he privately used the magic of suppressing the evil to harm the harem concubines, and his virtues were indignant ......"

"Poof." Wu Mei covered her mouth and laughed, and when she saw that Shangguan Yi was interrupted, she hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Lord Shangguan." Wu Mei couldn't help but laugh when she heard your pen, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud with the many skills I carried. Go on, go on. ”

Shangguan Yi didn't expect that instead of being scared and trembling, this woman could laugh out loud, and she was suddenly a little dazed. He repeated the phrase "the anger of man and god" several times, but he couldn't continue. It was his son Shangguan Tingzhi who whispered next to him "People and gods are angry, please depose the minister" to barely finish.

After he finished reading, Wu Mei nodded and said: "I have heard for a long time that Lord Shangguan has learned to be rich and rich, and I really have a good writing today." Saying that, she turned her head to look at Li Zhi, "What does the emperor mean?" ”

"Huh?" Li Zhi seemed to wake up suddenly, and said blankly: "What do you mean?" ”

Wu Mei pretended to be surprised, pointed at Shangguan Yi and said, "How do you feel about this twist?" ”

Li Zhi opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't dare to look at her eyes, just hung his head and said softly, "You...... What else do you have to say? ”

Hearing this answer, which was equivalent to a default answer, Wu Mei took a deep breath. Tang Ying could feel her gripping her hand harder, and at this moment, her tears were about to come out. There are so many men standing in the yard and the house are Wu Mei's enemies, and she only has one friend who supports her, how much courage does it take to stand tall in this crisis?

Wu Mei smiled lightly, walked up to Shangguan Yi and said, "Mei Niang only has a few points that I don't know, and I want to ask Lord Shangguan." If the adults can convince me, then all the punishments will be confessed. ”

Shangguan Yi nodded slowly with the arrogance of the victor. Wu Mei asked: "May I ask Lord Shangguan, your recital must be a joint book, right?" ”

Shangguan Yi was stunned for a moment, unable to figure out what she was thinking, but soon said confidently: "That's natural, you interfere in government politics on weekdays, it's obvious to all." Many ministers of the DPRK and China have quite a few complaints. ”

Wu Mei blinked for a moment, and then said, "More than fifty?" ”

Shangguan Yi just said "um", and she immediately asked: "You found fifty people who are willing to jointly write with you so quickly, and you are embarrassed to say that I am a party for personal gain?" How many officials are there in Chang'an City? She said and glanced back at Li Zhi, and his eyes changed a little.

Shangguan Yi didn't expect her to find this loophole, and closed her lips tightly and didn't know how to respond. Wu Mei didn't give him a chance to refute, and then asked: "You said that I interfered in the government affairs, can you see which holy decree was not stamped with the emperor's golden seal, or the emperor didn't know, I issued it privately?" ”

Shangguan Yi was stunned again, although they all knew that Wu Mei had an idea, but the emperor's golden seal was not fake. So Shangguan Yi defended and said: "That's because you coerced the emperor, or coerced the emperor to make a decision." ”

Wu Mei slowly stretched out her hand to all the officials, "The emperor has a list of ministers who support him like this, how can I coerce him as a woman?" "The situation is really high at the moment, and they themselves are a little uncertain. Wu Mei took the opportunity to say to Li Zhi: "Your Majesty." Even though Mei Niang used to make ideas for the emperor's worries, how could she make a decision for the emperor. Please recall, large and small state affairs and family affairs, how can a weak woman be able to cover all aspects? What's more, the concubine has been pregnant several times, so she can't always interfere in the government, right? ”

She said everything sincerely, and Li Zhi was also a little confused. He remembered that Wu Mei had handled the folds for him in the Ganlu Palace, and everything had to be personally reviewed by him, and he thought that many others were indeed the result of mutual consultation. In fact, Wu Mei and he were both influenced by Li Shimin's ideas on governing the country, and many of them had very similar political views, plus Wu Mei was more decisive than him, and he has always admired him deeply in his heart.

Seeing that Li Zhi began to waver. Wu Mei immediately changed the topic and asked again: "Please ask the Heavenly Officials again." The queen used witchcraft to frame me because her uncle admitted it himself, and you have seen it with your own eyes, but now why has it become that I have framed me again? ”

Shangguan Yi hurriedly gave the arrangement of haode Tianguan a look, and that day the official said: "Yu Niangniang, recently, the minister found that someone was unfavorable to Mrs. Wei with the technique of suppressing victory, and after investigation, he found a puppet of the technique of suppressing victory in the Zichen Palace. Since this spell is exactly the same as what the queen did back then, and the queen has also died, it must be a living person who repeats the old trick. In this way, it seems that only you have been directly related to the victory......"

Tang Ying was finally furious, and she said sharply: "Guess, everything is your guess." Do you have any way to prove that it was the Queen? ”

This Tianguan was originally one of the people who treated Li Zhi a few months ago, and he had seen Tang Ying's white fire with his own eyes, so when he saw her, he was short of breath for three points. After she asked, she hurriedly replied, "Uh...... Xia Guan looked at Mrs. Wei Guo's symptoms, and found the puppet from Zichen Palace...... "Tang Ying carefully examined this heavenly official, and immediately recognized that he was one of the few people who helped Li Zhi maintain his life, and he was not the leader. Even if you know his level, you can't get it.

Just as he was about to continue the interrogation, Shangguan Yi intercepted the conversation, "The old minister visited the master of the Tao and knew a little about the technique of winning the victory. Today, I saw Mrs. Wei Guo trembling like chaff, which was a symptom of being obviously invaded by evil magic. In addition, the birth date in the puppet is a crucial link, how can outsiders easily know? Only if the queen is her relative, it is possible to be clear. It is well known that the empress was jealous of the honor and favor of Lady Wei, and her motives were also sufficient. Therefore, the minister thought that the matter was stolen and obtained, and hoped that the mother would not resist stubbornly. ”
