Taichu Palace, Wucheng Palace, Wuhou Chang Dynasty.

Deng Huaiyu, the secretary of Honglu Temple, turned the Tibetan envoy to play the sparse, the country's great minister Qinling, the great sorcerer of the Bon religion has set off from Luo, taking the southern wave of the edict, from the south of the sword to the north, into the divine capital, to congratulate Zhengdan.

Empress Wu heard Wan Er laughing, no wonder Qinling to set off early, but it turned out to be a long way, his choice is easy to understand, the north has Bo on the defeat of the Zanjian Tuyuhun, the east has the defeat of the south of the Zanpo Jian, the two defeats greatly hurt the vitality, resulting in two more fortified cities in the north and east of Tubo, Xiyu Shigu City and Anrong City, almost trapped on the plateau, the people who see it increase their sadness, only the south is still pure, avoid these two places, but also euphemistically express the stubbornness of Tubo although defeated, although it is called a minister, but the hard bones are still there.

"I have seen Lu Dongzan, mellow and elegant, can be called the world's heroes, on Qinling as his son, but he is a individual twisted character, always love to be unconventional, there is a division to know his temperament, can properly handle the reception of Yingyuan, can not be neglected" Empress Wu was quite concerned about Qinling's entry into the court, and made an exception to open a few words on specific affairs.

"Minister's Order" Deng Huaiyu is solemn, with his conscientious nature, he will not slack off, and with the advice of the martial queen, he will only add a little more heart.

"The courtiers of the imperial history Ge Hui impeached Cui Xiang in the selection of Lang Lang, and he was in charge of the election of the heavenly officials and yamen, but he sat back and watched the overflow of officials, the incompetent people were in charge, and the official position was appalling, and he said that the appointment of officials, for personal gain, and the government of the courtiers and the government, there were 37 people who had entered Cui Xiang's mansion with their wealth and goods......" Ge Hui spoke loudly, and read the names and official positions of the 37 officials one by one, and made a lot of effort.

The Empress Wu on the throne showed a slight smile, which she was happy to see, and glanced at her side, Shangguan Wan'er, who had always been shrewd and wise, was instantly confused, her ruddy mouth was wide open, and her eyes were full of incredulity, although she quickly adjusted herself, hung her head, and couldn't see her look, Empress Wu could still see that her pair of willow eyebrows were deeply frowned.

"Your Majesty......" Cui Xiang came out to defend himself.

"Cui Qing step aside, Ge Aiqing, in your opinion, what should I do?" As soon as Empress Wu's words came out, the court was suddenly silent, many people smacked their tongues, Empress Wu's posture can be called very distinct, Ling Chi Wei Suizhong did not say, but also took a Cui Xiang to accompany the funeral of Quan Ce's cousin's career.

Including Wu Chenghe, many court officials have pantothenic acid in their hearts, tsk, this favor is really, Shechen.

"The minister thinks that Cui Xiang's virtue is lacking, and he should be dismissed from his official position, deposed and returned to his hometown, and he will not be hired for life."

When the words fell, Shangguan Wan'er raised her head suddenly, her body shook obviously, she was just puzzled and shocked by Ge Hui's sudden attack on her, but now she was full of panic, even if she encountered people and things related to power and policy, she would be a little stupid, but she could also tell the difference, this is a very obvious revenge.

Lang Jun retaliates against me? Did he really think I was in the way?

Shangguan Wan'er's body was cold when she landed, a bag of painful water flowed over and over in her heart, but there was no place to vent, she and Quan Ce had the same fate, experienced ups and downs together, and promised each other physically and mentally, how could she even cross a small ditch?

"It must not be like this" Shangguan Wan'er clenched her pink fists, the green tendons on the back of her hand were violent, the six gods had no owner, and she panicked to find an excuse for the power strategy, "Lang Jun must be disgusted that I had a one-night relationship with Cui Xiang, so he made it difficult to rectify him, yes, it must be so"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded vigorously to herself, stabilized her mind, and then looked at Cui Xiang who was crying and mournful below, no matter how suave he was, it was just annoying.

"Wan'er, are you insightful?" This is the second time that the Empress Wu has made an exception, although Shangguan Wan'er has the name of the prime minister, but she is only waiting for advice behind the scenes, but she has never opened her mouth in the court, and today it is unprecedented.

"The slave doesn't know the details, Ge Yushi has always been upright, there must be a reason for it" Shangguan Wan'er quickly regained her composure, and with a faint sentence, she abandoned Cui Yu without mercy.

Cui Xiang in the hall was like gold paper, and when he walked into the hall like a walking corpse, he had to kneel and confess his guilt.

"The minister didn't think so" but someone grabbed him to take the lead, and the local official Lang Lu Xiang spoke like a Hong Zhong, "Cui Lang was born in a wealthy family, and he cherishes his feathers more than his life, why would he covet money and hurt his reputation?" The minister thought that there should be something else in this matter, and that it should be investigated in detail, and the evidence should be conclusive."

Empress Wu's face was slightly gloomy, "Do you have any objections?" ”

The courtiers were silent, offending Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er at the same time, even if there were, it should not be said, Ge Huilie sat on the left side of the throne, and the officials looked at him sideways, but saw that he was like an old monk in the meditation, without saying a word, as if the impeachment just now had nothing to do with him.

Empress Wu brushed his sleeves up, "That's it, there's no need to rush to investigate, this matter is left in the file, to be discussed"

She asked herself if she was watching the politics of the court, but she didn't see today's events clearly, Quan Ce took revenge, Shangguan Wan'er was caught off guard, why did Taiping get involved? For the time being, use the procrastination trick and do not make any decisions.

"Do you still have a play?" The impatience of the Empress Wu is obvious, and if he has a slight look, he will not continue to make noise, and the Xia official and the servant Wang have eyes, but it is forbidden to be formal, and he has to play, in fact, the things he wants to play should be the first to be played according to the priority, "Your Majesty Chenqi, the Xin'an County Fireworks Army Station, a few days ago, there was a sudden camp roar, and the Zuo bullet was forcefully suppressed, only a few people were injured, no one died, and dozens of people such as the captain and the lieutenant jointly complained to the captain Wu Yanji, and determined that he had no way to supervise and suppress it, and asked His Majesty to uphold justice"

"Bastard, why is it delayed until this time for such a big deal?" Empress Wu was furious, and the already depressed anger poured down, "Left and right, take down this traitor who is bad for my government and transfer him to the Yushitai for interrogation, come to Qing, Hugh has to spare him"

Lai Junchen hurriedly came out of the order, waved his hand and beckoned the two thousand cows in the hall to drag the king out of the hall, he glanced at Wu Chenghei, who was the second in the prime minister's class, and saw that his face was as heavy as water, his eyebrows were like knives, and he knew in his heart that this guy's life was bound to be taken away.

Wang Yu never thought about the difference of a thought, but he would provoke the anger of the martial queen's thunder, and all thoughts were lost, and with the drag of the thousand oxen, a string of scorched yellow water soaks under the feet of his legs.

Seeing this, Empress Wu was disgusted and angry, but this time, it was sprinkled to Wu Yanji, who was not in the court, "Wu Yanji is more than twenty years old, two years older than Quan Ce, Quan Ce is invincible for my eastern expedition to the north and west, and he is praised by the government and the opposition, but he is good, he has a heavy official by virtue of his bloodline, and he is incompetent to do this?" Woe to you? ”

"Your Majesty, Yanji is incompetent, please ask Your Majesty to dismiss his post and never use it" Wu Chenghei, who was the father, trotted to the palace, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "But please Your Majesty must not be angry, if the phoenix body is damaged, the father and son will die and cannot be redeemed"

Empress Wu didn't laugh angrily, since she fell to the power, this is the third time she heard this punishment, as if she was mocking her, picked up the inkstone on the imperial case, aimed at Wu Chenghei, and threw it down with all her might, "Bastard thing, I will let my army, I will allow you, for the grievances of the army, order Hou Sizhi to go to the fireworks army camp, punish Wu Yanji in public with twenty military sticks, and escort him back to Beijing"

The inkstone deviated a little, but it didn't hit Wu Chenghe, but it scared him a lot, and he kowtowed again and again to ask for guilt.

Where is the empress of the martial arts, she brushes her sleeves and leaves.
