Taichu Palace, Los Angeles Palace, July New Day.

Foreign envoys, royal kings and ministers, civil and military officials, young and old, flocked in, each with a set of tables and tables, making this magnificent hall seem a little cramped and full.

At the time of the Chang Dynasty, Quan Ce was a second-grade substantive official of Luantai Shilang, and he could enter the first three rows on the couch, and at the current court, his seat had been moved to ten rows away, and it must be said that there were many dignitaries and nobles in the Shendu like dogs.

In front of him, he saw a lot of acquaintances, the long-lost Western Turkic Khan Ashina Hu Sero, won the title of the king of Huaihua County, purple python robe, but no longer powerful and strong, ten days are not seen, the old state is exposed, the body is like a punctured balloon, thin as a piece of paper, and even can't support the robe on his body, the front placket and the back swing are all hanging down to the ground, the blue wolf on the grassland, a generation of heroes, encircled into a dying dog guarding the household, no longer worry.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem"

A violent coughing sound echoed in the main hall, and Zheng Jingsi, the palace attendant, glanced at the chief on the right side of Danqi, but after all, he did not raise the wat board in his hand and scolded.

That is the heir of Wei Wang Wu, the former first minister of the court, now bent on the waist, like a gossamer, the body is almost folded in half, the beard is gray, the hands and face, are crawling with terrifying old age spots, extremely terrifying, and he is far away on the left, the chief is Liang Wang Wu Sansi, the green beard is fluttering, the face is ruddy, the spirit is full, the two are compared, like the next generation.

Wu Chenghei was seriously ill, so he asked for a grace and was served by the third son Wu Yanxiu, who did not sit at the table and knelt on the cushion behind Wu Chenghe's side.

In fact, the government and the opposition all know in their hearts that Wu Chenghei's power foundation in the court has been uprooted, and it doesn't make much difference whether he comes or not, it doesn't affect anything, it's just a matter of blocking people in vain, his real purpose should be to try to bring Wu Yanxiu out, indirectly lift his prison punishment, and pave the way for his comeback.

The net whip sounded nine times, the door of the palace was opened, the roar of the tiger and leopard shook the sky, the wings of the colorful clothes and the wings of the wild goose were separated, and the queen of the martial arts slowly came to the front of the palace.

Empress Wu slowly stepped off the golden chariot, wearing a golden crown, the crown hung low, her costume was very different from usual, not the golden phoenix robe she once loved, nor the purple dress that symbolized wealth, but the bright red auspicious dress, which was embroidered with five-color silk threads to show the geography of mountains and rivers, the rising sun and the dragon and phoenix, brilliant and grand.

"Ministers meet Your Majesty"

The queen of martial arts sat down on the throne, and the ministers were like waves, prostrate layer by layer, and the mountains shouted and congratulated.

The deliberations of the great court, there is no certain rule, and even sometimes only the worship etiquette, do not ask about government affairs, like dropping out of the dynasty for a day, since the martial arts practice Zuo, has always been diligent, more will be involved in the government affairs extensively, important government affairs, in the court will be interrogated and judged, in order to brainstorm, show the grace and power, gradually become a common practice.

Today is no exception, Empress Wu sat and worshipped, and also bowed with an empty head, red lips lightly opened, and asked, "Prime ministers, how is the progress of the rebellion of the Later Turkic Mosi Khan?" ”

This is Di Renjie's job, he stepped out of the ranks, bowed down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, in April, the Mosi Khan returned to the Turks, the Black Sand City and other tribes, one after another, the Mojian Company led the army to the south to attack, the Mosi Khan hastily met the attack, failed to win, the Great Zhou Youyu Wei Zhonglang killed the Zhao and Huanbu Death Regiment, the Ten Thousand Cavalry General Tuoba Siyu Yu's whole army, and repelled the Mojian Company"

"In May, the Later Western Turkic Khan Ashina Xian arrived with reinforcements, and joined forces with the Mosi Khan and the Great Zhou soldiers to fight against the Mojian Company and repel him from the Southern Desert area."

"In the middle of June, the Mosi Khan turned the defense into the offensive, waved the army to the north, and even the battle was victorious, seeing that he was about to arrive at the Wude Mountain, Zhao and Huan and Tuoba Siyu were not satisfied with the water and soil of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the troops did not advance, and they were taken advantage of by the Mothorn Company, and the Tunyu Valley took advantage of the wind and fire, and the Mosi Khan was defeated and retreated to the southern desert."

"At present, the two Turks are facing each other, there are sometimes skirmishes, there are mutual victories and defeats, the Western Turkic Khan Ashina offers a request, he is the new Khan, the people's hearts and the army are not attached, they have been away from the territory for a long time, there are young people, conspiring against each other, please ask Your Majesty for permission to withdraw, and destroy the ministers"

"Hmm, the Later Turks have not been peaceful, and the Western Turks are in turmoil again, so I don't mean that a junior can go so far?" Empress Wu sighed, turned her head to look at the many vassals, her expression was solemn, "Stop fighting for martial arts, the world is peaceful, the people's livelihood and happiness are also related, I am the lord of all nations, I am not happy to see that there are swords and soldiers in the world for a long time, but the country has rebels, the family is not good, Xiao Yuer, etc., preach to the lord and chief of the country, for the people of the world, there are eagles and wolves, cut off as soon as possible, do not tolerate the adultery, hold the artifact, protect the Taoist system of the world, and never allow anyone to corrupt the principles of heaven and discipline"

"Ministers thank Your Majesty Longen, Your Majesty is wise" A large number of vassal envoys, all the nations are well-dressed, popular and grassy, prostrate and bow, happy and sincere.

The sleeves of the Wuhou robe waved, "After the Turkic rebellion, the progress is very peaceful, plus the Duke of Fuguo, the general of the Ten Thousand Cavalry Tuoba Si Yu Da, and the right Yuchuan Wei Zhonglang will Zhao Hehuan as the son of Gushi County, and the quasi-Ashina will be invited, and lead the department to return to the Western Turkic territories"

Most of the vassal envoys were ignorant and trembling, admiring the heroic posture of the female emperor of the Celestial Empire.

Most of the important ministers of the court have relatives, and what the Empress Wu is satisfied with is not the military exploits of Tuoba Siyu and Zhao Hehuan, but their just right time to stop the army, and the civil strife in the Later Turks, the longer it lasts, the more beneficial it will be to the Great Zhou.

"Do you still have a discussion?" Empress Wu asked symbolically.

Liang Wangwu thought three times out of the ranks, with a little apprehension on his face, he was good at observing words and feelings, and he was good at pulling the Shunfeng flag, which was also his art of standing up, like this The number of pre-planned calculations was only a handful, and he piled up a smiling face, "Your Majesty, the eldest son of Tubo Zanpu Chidu Song, is about to enter the court, and there are thousands of regimental personnel, which shows that Chidu Song Zanpu obeys the king, and the power of the servant Lang regulates yin and yang, and the merit is in the Quartet."

Wu Sansi piled up the heads of the Tibetan envoys in the queue of the foreign domains, and smiled at Quan Ce, and talked for a long time, but he didn't know the point.

"There are guests from afar, the atmosphere of the Shendu is extremely important, at present, Dali Temple Qing Jinghui, Luoyang Yin solemnly, joined hands to clean up the folk gossip, although quite effective, but also killed too heavy, bloody almost all over the Shendu, it is not the scene that the prosperous Celestial Empire should have, the minister thinks, the meaning of torture, is to deter, not kill, the two of them have the wind of benevolence and forgiveness in the Heavenly Dynasty, should be corrected immediately"

Halfway through Wu Sansi's words, Quan Ce's body was full of bright or dark sights, and Wu Sansi's actions were clearly a low-intensity test to test the true mind of Empress Wu.

Empress Wu took a deep look at Wu Sansi, he sold it well, only talked about things, did not impeach, and chose the occasion for the gathering of foreign envoys at the court meeting, and kept saying that the prosperous Tianchao was on her lips, and said with soft force, so that she had no choice, but with good intentions, she snorted lightly and spit out a word, "may"

There was a slight commotion in the court, and Wu Sansi's eyes were bright, "Your Majesty is wise"

"Your Majesty, the minister has a play" Before his words fell, another prime minister, Ouyang Tong, stepped out of the ranks, and said loudly, "The minister impeached Li Ba, the local official Yamen Duzhilang, and at the time of the banquet, he talked about the royal family in vain, and his words were unbearable, and he lost the body of the minister, and the minister thought that he should be put into the imperial history for investigation."

The corners of Wuhou's lips are slightly raised, and the red lips are reopened, which is still one word, "may"

Empress Wu is ambiguous, but it is still unfair to openly use power to talk about Princess Taiping, but there is no taboo on the side.

That wants to set the storm, and there is only one way to fight outside the plate.

The atmosphere between the DPRK and China suddenly became tense.

"Cough cough cough" Wu Chengsi seems to have not experienced such a twitch for a long time, and under the low pressure, he finally couldn't bear it and coughed violently.

Empress Wu glanced at him and groaned slightly, "Order Wu Yanxiu, the king of Huaiyang, to be the captain of the Lanying Army, and be on duty in the Shendu Garden."

"Minister, minister thank you, thank you, Your Majesty, Longen" Wu Chengji staggered, struggling to kneel and salute.

"Heir, don't go to the palace again in the future"

There was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Wu Chengsi's arms were weak, he threw himself forward, and fell on the table, and the inkstone on the side of the table overturned, splashing his face with ink.

Wu Chenghe's limbs danced, trying to wipe his face, as if he wanted to wipe his eyes, but the more he wiped it, the darker it became.

I could only vaguely see a touch of bright red, and it was gradually moving away in the harsh summer skylight.
