Here Wu Ning made a mistake.

In his opinion, Wu Zetian also issued an edict to be crowned the king when he knew that he was Wu Ning, and he was promoted to the king of Changning County, which was more like an attitude expressed by Wu Zetian.

In other words, it is the kindness released by the old lady that is the compensation for the tragedy of the mountain pass ten years ago.

It is tantamount to telling Wu Ning that the tragedy ten years ago was not what she wanted.

It's a pity that Wu Ning was wrong.

After all, he is not the emperor, he is not Wu Zetian, and he doesn't know that the emperor's mental skills are not so simple.

Wu Zetian, the king of Changning County, is indeed releasing kindness, but...

The old lady has been decisive for a lifetime, and she has been in the world for a lifetime, and the momentum of Wu Laojiu can not be realized no matter how smart he is.

In Wu Zetian's eyes, there is no right or wrong, only what should or shouldn't.

The situation of going down the mountain col back then, it happened, that is, it happened, and the later decision was also forced by the situation, and the old lady didn't think she was wrong at all, let alone make up for it, and she didn't feel guilty.

What she gave to this king of Changning County was more of a test for Wu Ning.

In fact, I just want to see if you have the ability to sit firmly in the eyes of a group of vicious wolves. Are you qualified to bear this kindness, and even whether you can carry the more arduous burden I have given you in the future?

This is what Wu Zetian cares about.

Just like Wu Ning's analogy, choosing a king is like choosing a mastiff.

This metaphor, from Wu Zetian's point of view, she doesn't feel so pathetic, let alone dirty. She felt that the person in charge of the world was right, and she was even willing to be the female mastiff who watched the young mastiffs eat each other.

And the person who caused Wu Zetian's state of mind was precisely Wu Ning himself.

In fact, Wu Zetian didn't want to enjoy his family and let the juniors get along in harmony.

It is precisely because of this that she directed such a scene in Yuelou: the children and grandchildren kneel down and swear that they will never kill each other.

However, at this time and that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time was settled inside and outside, and there was no expectation.

Although the new victory over the Turks, but the morale has not risen, although there is a strategy to expand the four sides, but the results have not appeared.

Compared with the prosperous era of Zhenguan, in fact, there is no progress, and even a lot worse.

At this time, there is not much consideration for choosing the king, and the king who guards the city is enough.

A product like Wu Chengsi, although it is not the best talent, is the best choice, because it is enough. It is impossible for him to bring Da Zhou to a high height, but it is not bad either.

But now?

Not only defeated the Turks, but also cut melons and vegetables, and the progress of the two places was rapid.

In addition, the trade in the southeast sea is prosperous, and the Western Regions are also coveted, and even the worries of the nobles can be solved.

Wu Zetian's mood changed.

She found that the Great Zhou might be able to surpass the previous dynasties, and even be proud of the past and the present, reaching heights that no one expected.

At this time, a king of success is not enough!

Therefore, whether it is out of the king's wishes or the needs of the current situation, Wu Zetian must be the female mastiff.

As for who this Ming Jun is, Wu Zetian doesn't know, it may be Wu Chenghei or Li Xian.

Even Li Xian, Li Dan, and Wu Sansi think about them, if they can go to the end, it is not impossible.

Of course, it can also be Wu Ning!

The old lady doesn't care about Lili now, but Liwu.

In the past, I suffered from gains and losses, and I was worried about what happened behind me, because she was not strong enough, she was not as good as Taizong, and she was not as good as many men.

Even after her death, in the pen of those literati who are not used to her, she may not be able to compare with her husband Li Zhi.

But now, Wu Ning gave her a game, a game that surpassed her predecessors, and no one could compare to her.

In such a transcendent realm, Wu Zetian was already not afraid of anything. Even if I die, you can write as much as you like.

Qingshi Moju, you can reverse black and white, but the facts are the facts, she is better than all of you men.

No one can discredit it!

....

————————

Originally, in Wu Ning's judgment, Wu Zetian was crowned the king of Changning County with a sense of guilt.

Then, at this time, he repeatedly admonished Shazhou's defense, and even if the old lady had other strategies, most of them would give him this face and act according to the plan.

But he was wrong.

The king of Changning County is just a test for Wu Zetian.

At this time, Wu Zetian was even more ruthless, Wu Laojiu, who had never taken the initiative, was concerned about the war in the northwest again and again, and mentioned Shazhou City, which was not the most important, twice, how could this not make Wu Zetian suspicious?

With such a question, what the old lady has to do now is to find out what is in Shazhou to make Wu Ning care so much.

called Junchen to see the driver, and naturally asked him to investigate this matter.

"Shazhou?"

Lai Junchen frowned and said, "Your Majesty, there is a sin city camp in Shazhou!" ”

"Moreover, the minister remembers that since eight or nine years ago, the Criminal Department has abolished the Shazhou crime city camp, and the criminals released in the west have been reassigned to Liangzhou."

"In Shazhou today, there is nothing except the old criminals more than ten years ago!"

Wu Zetian's eyes froze, "Then go and find out what criminals and criminals are in the Shazhou Sin City Camp and show them to me!" ”

Lai Junchen was in trouble, "Your Majesty, or.... When he arrived in Chang'an, the minister went to do this with His Majesty? ”

"At this time, the documents and files of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs have all been sealed, and even if the minister wants to check, there is no way to check it!"

Wu Zetian is in full swing, how can he wait to go to Chang'an?

"Go!! Unpack it for me to check! ”

Well, Lai Junchen had to receive the order, and he didn't dare to say half a word more.

....

After tossing for a whole day, I finally found some documents about the old crime city camp in Shazhou among the old documents of the household department ten years ago.

"Your Majesty, as the minister said, in the first year of longevity, Your Majesty personally issued a holy order."

"After that, anyone who violates the criminal law and signs a sentence of 3,000 li in prison will be sent to the south of Guizhou."

"Where the army is guilty of crimes, those who sign the judgment and distribute the border pass will be sent to Liangzhou, Youzhou, and Guangzhou."

"All the courtiers are noble, and the capital crime is not forgiven, and those who are forgiven by the Son of Heaven will go to Liangzhou, Qianzhou, and Guizhou."

"The old Shazhou was a criminal land, the land was sparsely populated, and it was not a place where people came and went, which hindered morality and politics, so it was abolished."

Lai Junchen shook the household documents, "It has been nearly ten years since the abolition of this place, and there are really no people left." ”

Well, what the old decree says is very good, and it hinders morality. But the reality is that the cost of Shazhou as a place of exile is too high for the imperial court to afford.

If you think about it, it is already a big expense to transport supplies to Yangguan and Yumen Pass, and you have to transport them to a group of exiled prisoners, and the imperial court is not stupid, so it is naturally unwilling.

Don't look at the current time of the court discussion, everyone is shouting vigorously, what two levels and one state, it is solid.

But in fact, there are only two levels, and there is no one state.

Except for the criminals who were sent out eight or nine years ago, there are no more people in Shazhou City.

"No one?"

Wu Zetian listened to Junchen's recital, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

There is no one left, Wu Ning also mentioned it twice, which shows that there must be a problem in Shazhou.

Pondering for a moment, "What other sinners are there in Shazhou City now?" ”

When Lai Junchen heard this, he was overjoyed, he had expected Wu Zetian to ask, so he had already prepared.

"Back to Your Majesty!"

"Before the first year of longevity, there were only more than 1,000 criminals in Shazhou City, and there were ..... guards in the city."

Halfway through his words, Lai Junchen paused, subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at Shangguan Wan'er beside Wu Zetian, before he said:

"The name of the Shazhou guard is Lin Yutang, who was formerly the general of Zuo Weiwei, and later because..."

"What's next?"

"Later, because of the first year of Linde, the crown prince Li Zhong rebelled against the case, and the crime was sent to Shazhou."

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, she couldn't help but stiffen, and her face was even more pale.
