Chapter 7: The Dust Settles!
The courtiers glanced at each other, then bowed down in unison and said to Wu Zetian, "The ministers have no objections!" ”
Wu Zetian shook his head, his eyes gradually became sharper, he slowly got up from the dragon chair, and silently glanced at everyone, his cold voice echoing in the hall.
"What I want to tell you is that the Great Zhou Dynasty is the country of me, and it is my will to establish whoever will succeed you. I also know the little ninety-nine in the hearts of some of you. Don't try to deceive me with all sorts of excuses! ”
"Don't dare!" When the people heard this, they hurriedly bowed down, and did not dare to say anything more.
Di Renjie also leaned forward and bowed, not daring to touch His Majesty the Emperor's brow at this moment.
Wu Zetian glanced at Di Renjie, in his sharp eyes, the cold light flashed, and his white hands were tightly clasped together at this moment. After a few minutes, slowly release.
And all these sudden movements on Wu Zetian's body were thought twice by Liang Wang Wu and were in full view.
I saw Wu Sansi's side face, and he glanced at Di Renjie very lightly, smiled weirdly, and then slowly lowered his head again.
"Get up!" Wu Zetian's voice was as if he had come to the Nine Ghost Cities, making the people present feel as if they were in a thousand-year-old ice cellar.
"Pavilion elder Zhang Cambodia's words, to determine the successor of the king, is for the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so this law must be done! And the elder's analysis of the successor monarch is also to the point, and it needs to be carefully considered. Therefore, to sum up, I decided to establish Li Xian, the king of Luling, as the prince of the East Palace, and send a decree the next day to announce it to the world! Wu Zetian said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty......" After hearing Wu Zetian's decision, King Wu Sansi of Liang suddenly shook his body, and stood stupidly, looking at Wu Zetian with a demented face.
Wu Zetian looked at Wu Sansi coldly, "What, do you have any objections?" ”
Wu Sansi hurriedly bowed his head and responded, "Don't dare!" ”
"Do you have any objections?" Wu Zetian saw that the courtiers were stupid one by one, and did not respond to his decision, and said in a deep voice silently.
"No objection to the ministers!" All the courtiers hurriedly bowed down and responded in unison.
"Hmm. Since there is no objection, the will is conveyed to Luan Feng Pavilion. Decide on a certain day! Announcement to the world! After Wu Zetian finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and walked towards the harem.
Seeing this, the deacon and eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly in his voice, "Retreat!" Then he trotted and kept up with Wu Zetian.
After Emperor Wu Zetian returned to the harem, the courtiers stood up and glanced at each other, as if they had a lot to say, but after looking up and seeing Wu Sansi's murderous gaze at Di Renjie, they hurriedly shut up one by one, and quickly withdrew from the Zichen Palace.
A few minutes later, in the entire hall, only Di Renjie and Wu Sansi were left.
At this moment, Wu Sansi drooped his face, slowly stepped forward, came to Di Renjie, smiled contemptuously, and said, "Elder Di Guo, can't you see that it is the emperor's intention to establish Li Dan, the king of Yu, as the successor and enter the East Palace?" Didn't you think about your own consequences if you disobeyed the emperor like this? ”
Di Renjie smiled stupidly, "His Royal Highness King Liang, who the emperor wants to choose as the successor is the emperor's mind. But what this cabinet wants to say is that it is not the emperor's decision, it is all correct. As a Zaifu, when he is an old man, he should stand in the perspective of the overall situation, completely analyze the problem clearly, let her think about it, and make the final decision by her. ”
"This is the duty of a courtier!" When Di Renjie said the last sentence, his voice involuntarily increased by several decibels.
Liang Wangwu thought about it three times at this moment, he squinted slightly, raised his hand to cover his ears lightly, slanted the corners of his eyes, glanced at Di Renjie, and said contemptuously, "Don't say that you are so noble, what do you think in your heart, the emperor understands, and this king also understands." This king warns you, "Do it yourself." ”
After Wu Sansi finished speaking, he smiled meaningfully and withdrew from the Zichen Palace.
Di Renjie smiled slightly, shook his head gently, raised his eyes and glanced at the dragon chair in the center of the main hall, then turned around and also exited the hall.
......
In the backyard of Di's mansion, in Di Renjie's study......
After Di Renjie returned to the house, he returned to the study with a serious face, and no one dared to disturb Di Renjie's mansion. Li Yuanfang, who was standing outside the door, wanted to knock on the door of the study several times, but in the end he didn't raise his hand to knock.
"Yuan Fang, come in." Di Renjie's voice came in from the study.
Li Yuanfang listened to the words and pushed the door in.
Li Yuanfang, who entered the study, walked quickly to Di Renjie, bowed down, and said softly, "My lord, the last general has already sent a powerful person to inspect Zhu Yan, the chief administrator of the Great Interior. But right now, the little eunuch who followed him back explained that this Zhu Yan did not stay too much time in his hometown Xiaonan Village some time ago, when he was on leave to save his relatives. Just a few days before the end of the holidays. I went home, and then hurried back to the palace. ”
"In between, there is no way to know where he went. It's just that Zhu Yan gave the little eunuch some silver taels and asked him to wait for him to return in the county under the jurisdiction of Shendu, and then return to Beijing together. ”
Hearing this, Di Renjie raised his hand and gently stroked his white beard on the front breast, his eyes silently stared at the brush stand on the bookcase, and after a few minutes, he came back to his senses and said, "Then King Liang, have you ever found out something about Zhu Yanyu's intersection?" ”
Hearing this, Li Yuanfang shook his head, "There is no news from there yet." My lord, there is a saying, the last general does not know whether to say it or not? ”
Di Renjie looked at Li Yuanfang sideways, and smiled faintly, "There is no one else here, what should be said and not said, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”
Li Yuanfang pondered for a moment before he said slowly, "My lord, as far as the current situation is concerned, does the last general think that we are worried about the sky?" ”
"Zhu Yan, a small chief of the Great Interior, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, is a small fish-like existence, how big a wave can he make? And Liang Wang Wu Sansi intersected with him, and the last general felt that it was just that King Liang wanted to learn some of the emperor's thoughts from his mouth. ”
When Di Renjie heard this, he smiled, but he didn't answer, and nodded to signal Li Yuanfang to continue.
Li Yuanfang continued, "The last general thinks that the most unlikely person in the world to resist the emperor's regime is this King Liang. Only if His Majesty the Emperor is alive, he will have the opportunity to inherit the throne, once the Emperor Dragon Dragon returns to heaven, with what he has done over the years, he will inevitably be killed by the kings of later generations at the first time. ”
Di Renjie shook his head, got up slowly, looked at Li Yuanfang with a smile, and said, "Yuanfang, what if Wusan wants the emperor to die?" ”
"This..." Li Yuanfang was a little dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. The night before, when Di Renjie mentioned this matter, Li Yuanfang also thought about it carefully after going back. He believes that the possibility of Wu Sansi daring to move the emperor is extremely low. Therefore, in his heart, he has acquiesced and ruled out this possibility.
But today, Di Renjie brought up this possibility again, which couldn't help but make him feel that things were too strange.
Di Renjie seemed to be able to sense the shock in Li Yuanfang's heart, raised his hand and patted his arm, and then said, "Today, above the court, the emperor has determined that the king of the future generations is Li Xian, the king of Luling. At that time, the old man could feel the shock and anger in Liang Wangwu Sansi after hearing the news. Even the way he inadvertently looked at the emperor, his eyes became a little sharper. ”
At that time, that Zhu Yan was next to the emperor, and his eyes couldn't help but flash, and he quickly returned to calm. Therefore, the old man concluded that there must be something unknown between this Zhu Yan and King Liang. ”
"Yuan Fang, this Zhu Yan must be investigated in secret, and they can't be found out, do you know?" Di Renjie stared at Li Yuanfang's eyes with his eyes and said solemnly.
"The last general knows!" At this moment, Li Yuanfang could clearly feel the concerns in Di Renjie's heart, and hurriedly responded in a deep voice.
"Look, the court has entered an eventful season again!" Di Renjie said lightly, and then stood with his hands in his hands, looking in the direction of the palace through the window.
