Luocheng Palace, Shuori Dynasty.

The ministers and ministers and the kings of the clan are listed one by one, the crown prince of the East Palace, the prime minister Li Dan, one stands in front of the imperial step, and the south ministers together with the Empress Wu, and the other stands at the top of the prince's class, and Liang Wang Wu Sansi, who is the first in the prime minister's class, is far away.

The net whip sounded nine times, the ministers bowed their heads, and the Empress Wu walked slowly along the fiery red carpet, her eyes swept over the princes and ministers on both sides one by one.

He paused abruptly, and asked casually, "Is King Anping still in Songshan?" ”

Zongzheng Temple Qing Zhao Xiang kneeled two steps out of the ranks, "Back to Your Majesty, King Anping still lives in Songshan, has not left Dengfeng County boundary, it is said that he is busy compiling the book of Gewu crafts, and there is no contact, the nobles of the Anping Palace, to visit, repeatedly encountered, local officials please An, are in the grass gate outside the salute, never met with the king"

Empress Wu was slightly surprised, she could do this, no matter how suspicious she was, she had to believe in the sincerity of Wu Youxu's retreat, thinking that he was coming, and he also made a contribution to himself, without the double reed of him and Quan Ce, the strategy of weakening the Shi clan would not be so smooth, "Spread the decree to apply for King Anping, blood reunion, human avenue, how can you escape?" and send men to his attendants according to the rites, so that he may live a good life and not be ascetic."

"Yes, the minister obeys the order" Zhao Xiang was ordered to be cautious.

Empress Wu continued to walk, the wide low-cut skirt dragging and gliding on the ground, and the fragrance overflowed.

"Get up, I heard that there is a happy event in the East Palace, is it true?"

Li Xian hurriedly turned around and bent over, "Mother Emperor, the son is about to play the heavens, the second son of the minister is blessed, it has reached the year of dancing spoons, when talking about marriage, I occasionally heard that the niece of Zhang Yi, Shaoqing of Weiwei Temple, is beautiful and gentle, so he begged for his son, fortunately Zhang Shaoqing and his brother Zhang Changqi were blue-eyed, and Yucheng became a matter"

Empress Wu nodded, "Very good, since you are the imperial prince, it is inconvenient to see people in vain, and you will move Cheng Ge Hui as the imperial history doctor, serve the imperial history Zheng Jingsi as the imperial history, and take Zhang Changqi as the supervisor of the imperial history."

"Ministers, thank you for your grace" Li Xian, Zhang Yizhi, Ge Hui, Zheng Jingsi and others came out to thank you.

In the middle of the court, there was a slight commotion.

There are those who smack their tongues and praise the Zhang brothers' favor, those who muttered that the power and strategy were excessively controlled, and there were also those who talked about the hope of the recovery of the Li family's Taoism.

Most of these people are loose officials and false lords, who see flowers in the fog and are on the outside.

The power players in the court, the civil and military officials who hold real power, but most of them can see clearly, the military queen in a word, promoted two people, gave one official status, but appeased the Quartet forces, Ge Hui needless to say, the power of the hardcore, Zheng Jingsi's identity is complicated, both the power of the henchmen, and the son-in-law of the king, Zhang Changqi is the dignity of the crown prince, and the favor of the two Zhang brothers.

At the end of the day, it's always balance.

It's just that the two Zhang brothers have a shallow foundation, and the East Palace and the Xiangwang Mansion have not recovered, and the difference between the official positions they occupy is too big, and it looks like the biggest fruit that fell into the hands of the Quan Ce family.

"I don't need you to thank you, you just need to be stable, just don't make trouble for me" Empress Wu flicked the sleeves of her robe and looked at Yi Xingshan.

Kwon Ce's brow jumped unconsciously.

In the end, the martial queen is old, in the past, I was afraid that there would be no chaos, I was afraid that I would not fight, I was afraid that she would not change, she was always full of passion, she was high-spirited, and she swallowed the sky and the fertile day.

Now it is very different, she has begun to indulge in pleasure, greedy for stability, handling political affairs, and the art of balance is used more and more frequently, which not only represents the power trick, but sometimes, it is also a kind of softening and blurring of the position.

"The ministers are waiting for ten thousand deaths" The lord was worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the courtiers knelt on the ground.

"That's it, there is a playbook to play quickly" Empress Wu waved her hand, supported her right hand, supported her forehead, and entered the political questioning procedure.

Zhang Fang, who had been brewing for a long time, made the first move, and he didn't jump out yet, but he was still preempted.

"Your Majesty, Tang Xiujing, the official servant of the minister, has a performance, Chang'an stays behind Wei Yuanzhong, and the Xian line of the Weiwang of Chang'an is the official yamen of Wenxia, saying that on the official road west of Chang'an, the western capital, there are bandits infested, and he requests to send leading guards and horses to help suppress the nest of thieves, and the minister and Yuan Shangshu have discussed, but there is no consensus, and hereby play Your Majesty, please decree the holy judgment" Tang Xiujing's voice was like a bell, and his white hair trembled with his words, which was very dignified and majestic.

Empress Wu was slightly stunned, and then laughed instead of anger, "Xia Guan's yamen, but it is out of breath, such trivial matters, can you still quarrel and make trouble in the court?" ”

If these words are pointed, Tang Xiujing is obviously in favor of sending troops to suppress bandits, so the person who opposes it is naturally Xia Guanshangshu Yuan Shuji.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the military guard has not completed the training, and he is hastily transferred out, I am afraid that there will be casualties and damage to morale, so I should choose another appropriate military guard to assist him" Yuan Shuji hurriedly came out to defend himself, and secretly scolded Tang Xiujing half to death, this person didn't know the reason, he just took a gesture and postponed the matter, intending to find a point of interest, but he stabbed directly to the court, if it wasn't for a little bit of urgency, I was afraid that something bad would happen.

"Yeon-ki, what do you think?" Empress Wu glanced at Yuan Shuji and directly asked Wu Yanji to come out and answer.

Wu Yanji stood up and responded sonorously and forcefully, "Your Majesty, the leading guards are all warriors of all states under the domain, the customs and habits are far apart, and it is quite laborious to regulate, and the troops are driven into battle formations, which may be insufficient, but there is no problem in exterminating the bandits and gangsters on the top of the mountain, and the ministers are willing to make a military order."

"Xia Guan, do you still have doubts?" Empress Wu put the problem back again.

"The minister doesn't know the details, he does things hastily, and His Majesty forgives the sin" Yuan Shuji got off the donkey.

"Hmph, this matter is approved, Yanji is properly arranged, the land of the two capitals and Gyeonggi, how can you allow Xiao Xiao to make trouble" Empress Wu snorted coldly and made a will.

"The minister obeyed the order" Wu Yanji received the order and returned to the train.

Seeing this, Zhang Fang wanted to jump out again, but he was repeatedly preempted.

If something is abnormal, there must be a demon, he fixed his eyes and saw that the people who were in front of him were all court officials from the East Palace, and even Wang Fangqing, the fictitious prime minister, went out to intercept him once, which was probably silently pressuring him and letting him weigh the consequences.

Zhang Fang was fed up with the grievances of his life hanging by a thread, and after the last political matter was agreed, his body did not move, but he released his voice first, with a crying sound.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......" Zhang Fang crawled out, grabbed the ground with his head first, and just shouted His Majesty, and didn't say anything.

Li Dan, the prime minister at the head of the court, was full of surprise.

Li Xian, who was standing on the dan mound, had a grim face.

"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Zhang Fang for his failure to honor the emperor, and made a loud cry of sorrow, which meant to curse, and it was for the crime of great disrespect" The autumn official and the servant Wang Tongjiao jumped out, made the last effort to stop it, and buckled a deadly big hat when he came up.

"Ministers seconded the proposal" Many courtiers poured out of the court, trapping Zhang Fang in the crowd tactics.

Empress Wu was on the throne, quietly watching the scene below, thoughtful.

"Right and wrong, I have my own clear judgment, you have a thousand truths, you can't, don't let people speak"
