Di Mansion, Li Yuanfang knelt in front of Di Renjie and said: "The assassin's matter is a dereliction of duty, when the plum blossom internal guard suddenly appeared, the humble duty did not dare to stay for a long time, so he could only evacuate quickly, after a few days of investigation, he did not find any clues, it is obvious that the opponent is not an idle person!" If you don't do your job effectively, please punish your lords! ”

Di Renjie stroked the beard under his chin with his hand, and said: "This matter is expected, the gods have always been mixed, and there have always been hidden forces, hey, this time it's good, stealing chickens doesn't make rice, they can't kill people but let the queen of heaven have a reason to do it, and the gods are all about to come!" ”

"Yuan Fang, get up! This matter is sudden, and it is difficult for you to fight against them alone, so you can't be blamed! Di Renjie said.

Li Yuanfang stood up depressedly and said: "In recent days, all the people who went to Yue Shilang's mansion were Hou Sizhi, Zhou Xing and others, and Yue Shilang has become a close minister of the queen of heaven!" ”

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Okay, that's good!" Yue Shilang is smart and clever, but he can be of great use, although the current situation is stormy, but because of this incident, he has further gained the trust of the queen of heaven, but it is also a big gain! ”

Li Yuanfang said: "But how should this matter end?" Now that the gods are in turmoil, the prime ministers are in trouble, Li Xiang, Cen Xiang and your friendship with adults is not shallow, do you have a good plan to help them break the situation? ”

Di Renjie shook his head lightly and said, "There is a good saying, there is no excuse for the crime you want to add. The queen of heaven wants to punish them, and even the best strategies are useless. However, the queen's intentions are actually very clear, this matter has come to this point, and the time has come for Li Zhaode and Cen Changqian to express their positions!

The general trend is struggling, Mingtang has been erected, and the queen of heaven can no longer stop it from taking the next step! As far as Di is concerned, since the queen of heaven can't stop the ninth five-year plan, why bother to use the mantis arm as a car? Li Tang's country is not only a dispute between the queen of heaven alone, even if the queen of heaven ascends to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, after a hundred years, Li Tang's country may still exist, why bother with temporary gains and losses? ”

Li Yuanfang was silent, he naturally understood Di Renjie's intentions, but there were very few people who could understand Di Renjie's intentions, so Di Renjie was now lonely. However, Li Yuanfang firmly believes that as time goes by, with Di Renjie's continuous efforts, there will be more and more people who support him. But at the moment, this dilemma cannot be alleviated, and this is the biggest problem.

Di Renjie's mood was obviously also very heavy, he sighed, and said: "For today's plan, Di can only enter the palace to see the queen of heaven, and then make a decision!" Come on, prepare the car, I want to enter the palace! ”

Ziwei Palace, Guanfeng Palace, there are a lot more people in and out of the hall these days than usual, although Wu Zetian is more than sixty years old, but full of energy, she has never slacked off in government affairs, this year's drought in Jiangnan Province, Wu Zetian has been worried about disaster relief these days.

The rebellion is still fermenting, but Wu Zetian is still not relaxed in the affairs of government affairs, and the prime ministers are all worried, but the errand at hand cannot be put down.

This just reflects the subtlety of Wu Zetian's fighting methods, Wu Zetian's methods are ruthless and have killed countless people, but she knows very well in her heart that no matter how strong she is, she can't kill everyone. Therefore, she is diligent everywhere and very open-minded in governing for the country and the people.

Since the time of Gaozong, the struggle between Wu Zetian and the prime minister has never stopped, and the prime minister's camp has always been her strong opponent. In fact, it is outside the prime minister's group that he re-organizes a team of advisers, so as to spare many decision-making instructions to the prime minister's agency to achieve his own goals.

Later, Wu Zetian adopted a new set of strategies for the prime minister's team, that is, frequent changes of generals, the number of prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty was large, and at least seven or eight of the three departments of Wenchang Pavilion and Luantai Fengge held the authority, each performing its own duties, and they were all prime ministers.

Wu Zetian frequently replaced some of them to increase the mobility of the prime minister's team. And the strategy she is best at employing is to enable those with relatively low qualifications to enter the phase, which is the so-called exceptional promotion of talents, and the eclectic reduction of talents.

Wu Zetian broke the monopoly of the family power lord, and promoted talents from small surnames and even poor families, these talents were naturally grateful to him, so Wu Zetian's control over the court situation was strengthened step by step, and he has always become the regent queen mother, and the emperor was placed under house arrest by him in the West Palace, as if in prison, she is already the actual empress.

Now this group of prime ministers, including Li Zhaode, Cen Changqian, and Su Liangsi, are actually promoted by Wu Zetian, and they also respect Wu Zetian from the bottom of their hearts, so they cooperate and understand each other in governance.

However, Wu Zetian wants to abolish the emperor and ascend the throne, do something unprecedented for the ages, and shake the foundation of Li Tang Jiangshan, which is unacceptable to most of the current prime ministers, so Wu Zetian has been tempted again and again, attacked again and again, and before that, she had already executed and dealt with several people.

Now, Wu Zetian has even demarcated the final showdown time, and the cool officials and minions under her hand have begun to act according to her wishes, and the strong pressure has been suppressed, so the atmosphere in the palace must be very tense.

It was Wei Tuan'er who had served Wu Zetian in the past few days, she cautiously leaned behind Wu Zetian, and said in a low voice: "Queen of Heaven, Elder Di Guo came to ask to see!" ”

Wu Zetian was originally criticizing the fold, but when she heard that Di Renjie came to ask to see her, she raised her eyebrows slightly, put the fold down, and said, "Hurry up, please!" ”

Di Renjie stepped up to the hall, saluted in a proper manner, and said: "Weichen Di Renjie sees the queen of heaven!" ”

Wu Zetian stood up, waved his hand and said: "Elder Di Guo, who has been recuperating at home today, why did he suddenly enter the palace today?" Did you ask me for an errand? ”

Di Renjie said: "Weichen heard about the recent drought in Jiangnan, and he was really worried in his heart, if the queen of heaven can really let Di go to Jiangnan, Di will promise to properly solve the affairs of Jiangnan, live up to the trust of the queen of heaven, and live up to the support of the people!" ”

Wu Zetian laughed and said, "Elder Di Guo, you can stay in Shendu for the time being to recuperate, I have already asked Su Wei to serve as a messenger to help me in the disaster." Speaking of which, the matter in Jiangnan is not a big deal, there are even bigger things in the capital, the Shendu has recently appeared frequently, the people are uneasy, the government and the opposition are shocked, these assassins are all coming for me, they all want my life! ”

Wu Zetian waved his hand and said with a sneer: "Elder Di Guo, you are a master of handling cases, tell me who wants my life in the capital now?" Am I so hated by them, hated by them? ”
