Ouchi went to the west pavilion, although it was already dark, the God Emperor Wu Zetian was still reviewing the chapters.

While reviewing the chapters, she was still teaching Wu Chenghe, who was sitting in the hall: "Although the three provinces are the most important, they are divided into different cases. You can be regarded as a former prominent position, and I will not say more to you with the truth of power. Wenchang controls the six departments, and there are many affairs, especially Luantai and Fengge, and it is especially important to twist and lightly weight......"

Wu Chengsi listened carefully to the teachings of the God Emperor, and his heart was really beautiful. In the past period of time, he really felt that the Divine Emperor relied more and more on him, and this kind of experience in governing in the past would not have taught him so meticulously and detailedly, so that he himself was often under great pressure, and he always spent a lot of energy trying to guess the Divine Emperor's mind.

Now the Divine Emperor's attitude towards him is obviously to cultivate him as a real arm, and thinking of the hidden meaning revealed by the Divine Emperor's previous words, Wu Chenghe's mood is even more eager.

When he flipped through a piece of music, Wu Zetian's speed of review paused, this is a book from Chunguan Shangshu Fan Lubing, the main argument has been frequent in the capital recently, almost demonic, among which there are many pigtails who wear chisels and attach to the association, I hope His Majesty the Emperor can be sensitive.

"How is Chunguan's recent performance?"

After reading this recital, Wu Zetian raised his head and looked at Wu Chengsi and asked.

"Fan is proud of himself as an old minister at the North Gate, and his remarks are often straightforward. The minister has sentenced Zhang Jiafu to be in charge of Narui's affairs, but he is still tired of being unstoppable......"

Wu Chengsi hurriedly said, he also had a headache for Fan Lubing's thorn.

Wu Zetian frowned again after hearing this, and after a moment of silence, he said: "First pull the old slave into the political affairs hall, and save trouble." ”

She did this, in fact, a little helpless. Wu Zetian asked himself if he was not a stingy person, and he was not unkind to the old people of the North Gate in the Second Holy Period. But it is precisely because of this that she is especially angry at the betrayal of her by these old people of the North Gate.

Most of the Beimen scholars led by Liu Yizhi and Fan Lubing are from humble backgrounds. They did give Wu Zetian great help in a certain period, and Wu Zetian was not unkind to them. But after these rights were enjoyed, they almost without exception rebelled against her.

For example, Liu Yizhi, who was executed a few years ago, was the prime minister and returned to politics with stealing, and wanted to turn the authority given to him by Wu Zetian against Wu Zetian.

Even so, Wu Zetian still left a glimmer of leeway for him, and did not let those cool officials in Jinai push the matter, but summoned Wang Benli, who was the assassin of the state at the time and had little to do with the court, to interrogate, hoping that Liu Yizhi would be able to know the police and return, and wait until Liu Yizhi still refused the edict, and Wu Zezhi decided to give him death.

Although most people at the time called the Beimen Scholar a personal servant of the God Emperor, Wu Zetian knew very well in his heart that these people were not so much worshiping themselves, but probably more inclined to the emperor's will to be lonely and self-proclaimed.

After all, the so-called Bachelor of the North Gate was formed with the tacit approval of his husband. Liu Yizhi once officially awarded Li Danxiang the Sima of the Wangfu, and Fan Lubing also served as the Hucao of Li Xianzhou's Wangfu, and the Beimen Bachelor did not serve her alone from the beginning of its establishment.

Therefore, since Wu Zetian came to power, the resistance from the North Gate Bachelor actually made Wu Zetian feel more embarrassed than ordinary courtiers. Although the North Gate Bachelor can be said to be a faction of strength cultivated by Wu Zetian in the Shilin group, it is actually a thorn in her body deliberately pierced by Emperor Gaozong, if even the North Gate Scholar has a lot of resistance to her, this will give people a feeling that she is already isolated in the Shilin.

It is true that apart from the North Gate Bachelor, Wu Zetian does not have any controllable power in the Shilin at the moment. In other words, she is very short of manpower available in all aspects.

Although those courtiers were respectful to her in the court, they were actually on their own side in their hearts, and there were very few who were truly convinced to stand on her side, or their ability was limited.

If it weren't for the fact that this group of people had their own calculations, and there were many contradictions between them, it would be difficult for Wu Zetian to break them one by one.

The Ministry of Shangshu and Rites is an important institution for the revolution to build momentum, and Wu Zetian previously placed Wu Chengsi in this position, and Luo Dian was completed and his authority increased, and Wu Chengsi needed to be introduced into the political hall to grasp higher power.

Originally, Wu Sansi's replacement of the Chunguan Shangshu was a planned arrangement, but Wu Sansi himself was not angry, and he was expelled by Li Zhaode before he could gain a stable foothold. Wu Zetian really had no one available, so he could only arrange Fan Lubing, an old man from the North Gate, in this position.

"Chi Yi told Zhou Xing that when he passed through Shaanzhou, he took down Guo Zhengyi, the assassin of Shaanzhou. If you can do it well, you will be rewarded! ”

Just gave up the military general Qiu Shenxian, Wu Zetian couldn't give up Fan Lubing at the moment. After adding to the hypocrisy, there should also be a little warning. Guo Zhengyi, an old minister, has been away from the center for a long time, and it doesn't matter if he is dead or alive, and he is also a person who has a heart for her third son, Li Xian, and can be used to warn Fan Lubing and others.

Wu Chengsi nodded yes after hearing this, and then said: "After Zhou Xing left the capital, the post itinerary was leaked out, and there were many arrogant people in the wild who said that they were going to kill him, do you want to send more manpower to escort him?" ”

After hearing this, Wu Zetian waved his hand: "No need, if he doesn't even have this means of self-survival, it's useless to keep it." In addition, the new defeat in Hexi, the army was panicked, and the strong soldiers escorted the envoys into the town, which increased the fear. ”

Skipping this matter, Wu Zetian turned to the book presented by Xia Guan of the Ministry of War, and after reading it for a while, his face gradually became a little unkind, and he raised his eyes to Wu Chengsi and asked, "Xia Guan played this, why don't you stop it?" ”

Seeing this, Wu Chengsi hurriedly bowed down and left the table and said: "The minister has read this performance, and I feel that what Master Xue Chaori invited is not without ......."

"Nothing? He is an outsider, and your brother will accompany him to madness? Think twice and re-approve the encore, what else is he going to do as a summer official, go to the White Horse Temple to know the guest! ”

Wu Zetian was really angry, and smashed Wu Chengsi's head on Wu Chengsi's face with the letter of submission to the Xinping Dao soldiers to ask for merit, and Wu Chengsi couldn't help but be even more frightened, and repeatedly kowtowed to ask for guilt.

"Xinping Dao matters, no more mention, no more discussion!"

Wu Zetian said viciously again, feeling ashamed in his heart.

Wu Chengsi naturally responded again and again, but in fact, he didn't feel wronged in his heart.

He did have this kind of awareness, and he also felt that Xue Huaiyi was making a mistake, but Wu Sansi, a cheap leg, took the initiative to take this matter over, if he didn't play it, he couldn't help but worry about offending Xue Huaiyi, his godfather, so he could only bypass the political hall and send it to the ban, and as expected, he was beaten by the God Emperor.

Looking at Wu Chenghe's submissive appearance, Wu Zetian's mood became a little worse, and it was only after reading a few more congratulatory tables that his mood gradually calmed down.

"Yes, the king of Hedong joined Lintai today, what words and deeds can be discussed?"

Thinking of the noisy dedication of the scriptures recently, Wu Zetian inevitably thought of the little grandson who became more and more pleasing to the eye the more he looked at it, and asked Wu Chenghei again.

When Wu Chengsi heard this, he sighed a little in his heart, although he was a little reluctant, he still took out the book from his body, which was submitted to Wen Changtai by Shen Junliang, the supervisor of Lintai. As a member of the martial family, he naturally didn't want to see the young king too beautiful, so he kept this piece of music close to him, and planned that if the god emperor didn't ask, he would hide it directly and not submit it.

Wu Zetian raised his hand to take the concert forwarded by the palace maid, and glanced at Wu Chenghei with displeasure or anger, but he didn't say anything, just looked down at the concerto.

After a quick glance, a smile appeared on her face: "Shen Junliang is also an old minister of the court, why is he full of nonsense?" What is the young king's talent and writing, that kid is just a little weak and talented, and he can't praise it so much while people don't know it. I still have to wait for the edict, isn't this laughing at my government and the opposition? Fallacy, fallacy. ”

Although she said this, she turned back and read this short book again, and her mood couldn't help but become more and more cheerful, and a little bit of bad fun grew. She previously awarded the young king as the young eunuch of Lintai, and the prime minister admonished that the favor was too much, and Lintai was high, and it was not a fortunate place, but the young king had just entered the matter, and the eunuch of Lintai wrote a book to praise him, what should those who opposed do?

"Where is Dugu Qingyun's epitaph? Hurry up and get it! ”

Putting down Shen Junliang's recital, Wu Zetian raised his head and instructed Wu Chenghei again.

When Wu Chengsi hurriedly withdrew from the palace, the smile on Wu Zetian's face also retracted slightly, and it was reported that the female official of the inner hall was waiting for the edict, and ordered: "Make a draft edict first, choose the children of the good court in the court, go to Bazhou to welcome back the old Yongwang, accompany the burial of Qianling, and plan to stay temporarily." ”

After hearing this, the Di clan was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the God Emperor in disbelief, and after a while, he hurriedly said, "The concubine is ...... to receive the order."

When the Di clan withdrew, Wu Zetian raised his eyes to look at the night sky of the black hole outside the hall, his eyes blinked, and a little tide was born, and he muttered in his mouth: "Unfilial son, unfilial son...... The Father is inferior to the Son...... Your mother laughs for the world, this is what you want? ”

Wu Chengsi retreated from the hall for more than half an hour, and then hurriedly returned, in addition to presenting the epitaph of Dugu Qingyun written by the king of Hedong, there were also several newly received Suzheng Tai recitals in the political affairs hall.

Wu Zetian grabbed the epitaph, she had an impression of the calligraphy and handwriting of the king of Hedong, and it was also because of this that the king of Hedong was awarded the title of young eunuch of Lintai. Now that I see it again, I can't help but smile with emotion: "Decent and elegant, don't take the side to seek curiosity, this is the pen and ink atmosphere that your children should have, but unfortunately I still regret that I am not distracted and owe everyone training." ”

As she spoke, she read this epitaph, read it several times before and after, and said with a smile after closing the volume: "Shen Jun forgives him, he still has a little bit of knowledge, not because of his young age, he retired from the ward, but he was a little buried." Dugu Qingyun is also fortunate to be able to be written by the young king to highlight his life, mourn and give a gift, and then give it to the division as appropriate. ”

Although Wu Chengsi's voice should be respectful, his tone is a little stiff and unnatural.

Wu Zetian didn't care about this, and flipped through the several pieces of the Suzheng Tai's impeachment of the young king's guests, disturbing the court's hundred divisions and Luli residences, and then laughed: "The kid can have a little face, but he provoked the accusations of the Xiantai." Even though the guest seats are empty, I am afraid that the mansion is lacking, so I ordered the palace to reward the young king with money and goods for him to set up a house to support his family. ”

After saying this, she lowered her head and looked at Wu Chenghe, her expression was slightly serious: "Sending your life to the world, you must not believe it." What you get, he can't enjoy. Don't be greedy for what he gets. In the vast world, the community is supported, and the two or three close diners in the court have to climb more than you and me, so you have to think about it, is it the Jun's grace that is lost, or is it difficult to fill the desire? ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister, the minister really doesn't dare!"

When Wu Chengsi heard this, he hurriedly replied with a trembling voice.
