Chapter 512: Preparing to Hang Yourself
Wu Chengsi felt very bad.
It is simply unheard of for the prince to be beaten on the head and bleeding, and no one cares about it, and no one does justice.
In addition, he knelt in front of the old lady's Liangyi Hall for a whole day, and the old lady didn't even pay attention to him.
Wu Chengsi felt that he, the crown prince, was neglected, and even ...... It's hollowed out.
You must know that if such a big thing happened, in the past, he at least had Wu Youning, Wu Youji, Wu Sansi, Wu Zaide and the like, and they were connected to discuss it.
But now, Wu Youning and Wu Youji went out of Beijing to make a fortune, and Wu Sansi and Wu Zaide were personally sent out of the center of power by him.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly found that there was no one around him!
This made Wu Chengsi's heart jump for a while, and it was over, it seemed that he had fallen for Mu Zijiu's trick.
There is no one in the court, so what is the use of him as a prince?
And the thing that scared His Royal Highness the Crown Prince half to death is still to come.
The old lady really seemed to be deliberately alienating him, the crown prince, because just now, the queen's will came out of the inner court.
It is said that the sick body is safe, and he wants to thank the ministers and kings in the Liangyi Hall for praying for it for days, and it is scheduled to be the tenth day of the first month of this month, and the ministers and hundreds of officials will be feasted.
Only......
Only the prince and the king of Changning County, the old lady was not included in the banquet on the grounds that the money shortage was a great disaster for the country and the two should devote themselves to government affairs.
Wu Chengsi was afraid.
Mu Zijiu couldn't go, but Mu Zijiu's supporters, staff, and party officials were not missing.
Like Princess Taiping, Li Qianli, Li Yu, Di Renjie, Lu Songzhi, as well as Changsun and Cheng Fu, none of these are missing. Even the Wu family brothers who are not in the stream in the Long Road Dart Bureau are among them.
It can be said that it doesn't matter if Mu Zijiu goes or not.
But he Wu Chenghe, as the crown prince, is not among the night banquets, which ...... What is this for!?
This made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worried and panicked all day long.
It was only now that he understood that what forced the palace to ask for the crown prince, what the prince supervised the country and held the power alone, it was all nonsense.
The Great Zhou Dynasty is still the Great Zhou Dynasty of Wu Zetian, as long as Her Majesty the Empress is in one day, whether he, the crown prince, can ascend the throne or not, is all in the old lady's thoughts.
......
This matter is on Wu Ning's side, in fact, there is also confusion.
Wu Ning knew the situation very well, and the prince was set up because he was stupid, but it was not time to put it on the table.
Wu Ning thinks, is the old lady a little anxious? Wu Lao Shi has just left Beijing, so he is in such a hurry to elevate Wu Chenghe? It's not impossible, but it's not appropriate.
So, Wu Ning entered the palace twice and wanted to persuade the old lady.
The old lady, however, avoided it. only sent Shangguan Wan'er to tell him, "I know in my heart, he just needs to do his best." ”
There is no way, the empress is the empress after all, but Wu Laojiu can't persuade her to be decisive.
How did he know that the old lady had made up her mind to be a mastiff breeder, and this time it was not just as simple as an overhead, but a river of blood.
There are still a few days before the tenth day of the new year, but the mobilization of forbidden troops such as Chang'an Yulinwei and Huwei Army has not stopped for a moment.
Moreover, what Wu Zetian did was extremely secretive, not only did the crown prince Wu Chenghei not know at all, but even the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, as well as Wu Ning, were kept in the dark.
As for Li Qianli, the king of Cheng who was in charge of the defense of the capital, he was even more at a loss.
The tenth night of the first month.
The city's defenses were silently more than doubled compared to usual, and the streets were lined with swordsmen and lanterns, but they could no longer hide it.
Wu Chengsi hid in the East Palace, and listened to the secret whistle in the city say that there was a movement of the forbidden army, and he was so frightened that he sweated like rain and his teeth trembled.
It's over, it's all over!!
Therefore, it is not that the time has not yet come.
Forced Wu Zetian's palace? I don't want to think about it, the old lady is so good-looking, but she is not ambiguous at all after the autumn.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has even tied white silk to the beams of the house.
Xin said that as long as a forbidden army rushes into the East Palace, it will be hanged. It's better than falling into the hands of Lai Junchen, you can't survive, you can't die, right?
......
On the other side, Wu Ning was still working all night at the Yamen of the Ministry of Households.
The old lady didn't let him go to the night banquet, and she was indeed right. The difficulty of money shortage is a critical moment, plus the loss of the cute son, how can Wu Laojiu still have the heart to go to the palace to eat and drink, a bunch of things are waiting for him to be busy!
As for the things in the city, I have heard a little, and I can only say that I guess that the old lady must have moved.
However, it is still the same sentence, and it is unlikely that Wu Zetian will directly attack Wu Chenghe.
The old lady is fine, when should she do something, she is not more confused than Wu Ninglai.
As for what it is for, we can only wait. After tonight, it's all understood.
I was approving the official document, but a guest came.
Li Chongrun arrived at the household department, "Lao Jiu, don't you go to the banquet?" ”
He didn't know that there was no Wu Ning at the night banquet.
Knowing that Wu Ning should not have returned to the county king's mansion at this time, but was in the household department, he deliberately ran over to call him along.
Wu Ning glanced at Li Chongrun. This is no longer an unlucky child who is confined to the family, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites took over Wu Qi's class.
"Go ahead, Your Majesty has not decreed that I will go to the banquet."
"What?" Li Chongrun was stunned, "Didn't you say that even the eighth, eleventh, and Meng Daochang all received the post?" Why is it without you? ”
Wu Ning spread his hands and pointed to the dozens or hundreds of official documents on the case, "Look at it, do I have time to go?" ”
"Okay!" Li Chongrun was speechless for a while, and he sympathized with Wu Ning a little.
In the matter of money shortage, Wu Ning's policy is promising, and it can be said that it has solved the crisis of Da Zhou.
And the three major policies for saving the world in various places were also put forward by Wu Ning.
However, the credit is on the head of the prince, and it is Wu Youning and Wu Youji who make the fortune, but Wu Ning is treated like a mule, and his efforts are thankless.
"Grandma's!" Li Chongrun and the Wu family have been staying for a long time, and they are also arrogant, "Sooner or later, pull down that kind of goods!" ”
When Wu Ning heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart, what else is it sooner or later, if you can't get it right, the old lady's brain is not clear, maybe the one in the East Palace will come down tonight.
"Go ahead and drink a few more drinks for me."
"Okay!"
Li Chongrun could only obey his fate, and he went out of the household yamen in a huff.
Wu Ning finally had peace of mind and worked steadily.
I don't know how long it took, but it was estimated that there was a lot of work at the beginning of the night banquet in the palace, and Wu Ning only felt that it was very noisy outside the household, and there were a large number of soldiers coming and going.
Wu Ning was stunned, here?
The household office is located in the southeast corner of the imperial city, close to the East Palace. If there is a forbidden army breaking into the East Palace, this is a must-pass place.
The movement outside shows that the old lady is really going to do something.
I don't have the heart to work anymore, and I listen carefully.
After a while, the noise outside suddenly stopped, and Wu Ning knew that this was the end of the matter.
scolded in my heart, what kind of madness is this old lady? The older you get, the more confused you become, and the older you get, the more willful you become.
The heart said that the next time I face the saint, I have to beat and complain a few words.
How so? This mother and son, there is no one who is worry-free!
Standing up, I wanted to go out and see what was going on.
But he didn't want to, with a bang, the door of the office room was suddenly kicked open, and dozens of soldiers rushed in with knives and spears, and the blades of the guns were pointed directly at Wu Ning.
Subsequently, the mighty general Li Duozuo raised the holy decree and stepped in.
"Mu Zijiu, the king of Changning County, listen to the order!"
When Wu Ning saw this formation, his heart trembled, and he didn't bow down to accept the order, but muttered: "It turned out that it was not for the prince, but for me to ......."
"Humph!" Li Duozuo smiled coldly.
"Mr. Zijiu is really clear-minded!" The joke added, "Then guess what this will is written?" ”
Wu Ning looked at Li Duozuo coldly and said:
"The Bird Hides the ......"
"Rabbit Dead Dog Cooks !!"
"Your Majesty...... Sure enough, it's still Your Majesty! ”
