"Niangniang, this is an ice drink just delivered, hurry up and eat some!" In the Daming Palace of Chang'an City, Shangguan Wan'er said to Wu Meiniang with a bowl of cold drink.

When it is summer, the weather is hot, especially in the place of Guanzhong, this year seems to be extraordinarily hot, although the whole hall is relatively wide, the doors and windows are all open, but this hall still seems to be extraordinarily stuffy, not only there is no cool air at all, but even more sullen.

Even if there are a few copper basins full of ice cubes, it will not help, in this case, Wu Meiniang's spirit has been extremely sluggish, and it has been several days in a row, except for a little tea, that is, a little gruel.

took the steaming ice drink from Shangguan Wan'er's hand, in fact, it was made by placing a little ice cube in the porridge and rice, and adding some desserts such as honey, raising the spoon, and after drinking a few sips, Wu Meiniang's face was a little angry.

"Hey, I originally thought that this Chang'an City was vigorous and unforgettable, but now it seems that it is really like a prison cell, which is difficult for people to take for a moment, or the east is good, even if it is the height of summer, as long as you sit on the edge of the Luo River for a while, the gentle cool breeze blows, which makes people extremely comfortable." Putting down the small bowl in her hand, Wu Meiniang said with emotion.

"What's so rare about this, now Niang Niang Bingzheng, if you think you really can't stand it, go to Luoyang, and when the weather is cool, come back, and no one dares to stop it." Shangguan Wan'er asked.

"Hahahaha, you, you're still too young, although this palace is now in government, it seems that all major national events come from this Lin De Palace, but this does not mean that this palace can do whatever it wants." Looking at the ignorant Shangguan Wan'er, Wu Meiniang said with a smile.

The current Wu Meiniang is not the fierce martial artist who first entered the palace, you must know that people are constantly changing, the martial artist who tried her best to show her demeanor in front of Tang Taizong has now become a martial empress dowager who has not achieved her goal and will do whatever it takes.

Wu Meiniang knew that with her current prestige, if she wanted to leave Chang'an City and go to Luoyang, even if the officials were unwilling, no one would dare to resist, but this was not what Wu Meiniang needed.

Whether it was the previous abolition of Zhongzong Li Xian or the succession of Ruizong Li Dan, or even now Li Dan as a pure puppet and his own power, all this is just a matter within the royal family, or the Li family, and has little to do with the hundred officials or most of the ruling class, so no one has come forward to stop this kind of thing.

But if Wu Meiniang wants to be stationed in Luoyang, the eastern capital, then the matter is a big deal, you know, most of the people in the court are officials now, up to Pei Yan and other elders of several dynasties, down to ordinary officials, most of them are children of the Guanzhong family, it can be said that the entire Tang Dynasty represents the interests of the entire Guanzhong or Guanlong land, most of which are wealthy families.

The capital of Chang'an City is the most basic reason to ensure the interests of these families in Guanlong, not to mention that Wu Meiniang is just a queen, even Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, although at the beginning of his accession to the throne, in order to consolidate his own power, he wanted to move the capital to his own territory, Luoyang, the eastern capital, but he did not succeed, it can be seen that the Guanlong group is powerful in the court.

Although in the Gaozong Dynasty, Li Zhi drove the representatives of the Guanlong Group, the eldest grandson Wuji and others, but only suppressed the Guanlong Group, and did not completely exterminate them, their power in the court is still extremely large, therefore, at this time, Wu Meiniang, who deeply understands the way of government, will not go to Luoyang for the reason that hundreds of officials in the court will not risk being turned against by hundreds of officials in the court, of course, Wu Meiniang knows these things, and she did not explain to Shangguan Wan'er.

"Knock Knock Knock ......."

At that moment, there was a rush of footsteps, and an official walked in.

After seeing this person, Wu Meiniang's brows couldn't help frowning, because the person who came was not an ordinary person, it was the official under him who was in charge of news investigation, Miao Shenke, and to be able to make Miao Shenke come in such a hurry, it seems that the matter he wants to tell will definitely not be a trivial matter.

"Miao Aiqing is in such a hurry, there must be something important that can't be done." Wu Meiniang asked.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, the big thing is not good, I just received the news, saying that the British Gong Xu Jingye is training troops in Yangzhou City and collecting the displaced people, I am afraid that there is a fear of rebellion!" Miao Shenke didn't even have time to insert the huge beads of sweat on his forehead, so he said hurriedly.

"What, how is this possible, Xu Jingye is the grandson of the British Duke Li Ji after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, how could he rebel, is there any misunderstanding in it, or there is another hidden secret." After hearing Miao Shenke's remarks, Wu Meiniang's face was full of disbelief.

For Wu Meiniang, there may be something incredible in this world, but it is impossible for Xu Jingye to rebel.

Of course, it's not that Xu Jingye can't rebel, but Wu Zetian doesn't believe that there is such a stupid person in this world, let's not talk about Xu Jingye, let's just say Xu Jingye's grandfather, the British Duke Li Ji, the founder of the Tang Dynasty.

If some people don't know the name Li Ji, then in the "Legend of the Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", Xu Maogong, a veteran of the traveling party, should not forget that in the "Legend of the Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", Xu Maogong is a dog-headed military advisor-like character, and he has a little mana.

But in reality, he is an upright general, not only a general, but also a wise general, who has made immortal contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is Tang Gaozu Li Yuan or Tang Taizong Li Shimin, they all have great respect for him.

And Li Ji and Wu Meiniang, the relationship is even more unusual, when Shangguanyi, Chu Suiliang and others wanted Li Zhi to abolish the position of Empress Wu Meiniang, it was the advice of some ministers such as Li Ji that allowed Wu Meiniang to keep the position of the queen, it is precisely because of this that Wu Meiniang has great respect for Li Ji, and it is precisely because of this that although Xu Jingye is not very old, he has been reused by Wu Zetian during this period of time, even if he committed a huge crime not long ago, he was only served as Yangzhou Sima by Yangzhou in the border pass, No actual punishment was given.

It is precisely because of this situation that Wu Meiniang does not believe that Xu Jingye will rebel at this time.

Looking at Wu Meiniang's face full of disbelief, Miao Shenke was also helpless, as the official in charge of probing news and intelligence in Wu Meiniang's hands, all ' In the North Gate Bachelor's, his duty can be said to be the most important, in the previous time, Li Zhi was still alive, they did not dare to expand wantonly, they could only develop carefully, and now after Li Zhi's death, Wu Meiniang monopolized the power, logically speaking, they should be much easier, but it is precisely because of this, on the contrary, Miao Shenke not only did not relax, but became more tired than before, and only had less than three hours of sleep time every day, which also delayed a lot of work.

After the news came from Yangzhou this time, he attached great importance to it and sent many elite soldiers and strong generals to Yangzhou City for careful investigation, just for fear that there would be any misunderstanding in this matter, for example, Xu Jingye summoned soldiers and horses to prevent the remnants of the Heavenly Taoist Sect or exterminate the bandits, but when those who went to investigate yesterday rushed back covered with scars, Miao Shenke knew that this matter was probably true, although he didn't understand why Xu Jingye didn't do it well, and wanted to rebel. But this is not something he can decide, he can only feel Daming Palace in a hurry and report to Wu Meiniang.

After listening to Miao Shenke's explanation, Wu Meiniang didn't speak for a long time, just looked at the case in front of her in a daze.

"Hula ......."

"Bastard thing, a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, the palace trusts you so much, thinking that it will be of great use to you in the future, but I didn't expect you to dare to betray this palace, it's really a crime that deserves death, a crime that deserves death!"

Wu Meiniang slapped the things on the table and swept them to the ground, and couldn't help but scold angrily.

Although Wu Meiniang didn't say who she was scolding in her words, both Shangguan Wan'er and Miao Shenke knew who she was talking about.

"Niangniang is angry, the matter has come to this, no matter how angry you are, you can't change anything, the so-called soldiers will block the water to cover the earth, or think about what to do next." Shangguan Wan'er persuaded.

With Shangguan Wan'er's persuasion, Wu Meiniang's anger was finally suppressed.

"Miao Aiqing, since your people have already gone to investigate, do you know how many traitors there are, and who else is around him, how many people are willing to join this traitor, and whether there is any connection between this matter and the court." Wu Meiniang asked.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, because the matter is urgent, the people sent by Weichen have only found out the basic situation, and in this case, it will take a certain amount of time to investigate, but according to the news obtained so far, Xu Jingye has more than 10,000 soldiers under his command, including Tang Zhiqi, Du Qiuren and other people, most of whom have been reprimanded by the court because of their personal responsibility, and the rebel ministers who have been reprimanded by the court, as for whether there is any contact with the court, it is unknown." Miao Shenke replied.

"Humph......"

Although she knew that Miao Shenke had done her best, Wu Meiniang was still a little dissatisfied in her heart, but at this time, she could only suppress this matter in her heart.

"Okay, you have to do your best to investigate this matter, no matter what, you must find out everything clearly, don't miss anything, you understand." Wu Meiniang said.

"Wechen understands, please rest assured, Wechen will definitely find out the things of the traitor in the shortest possible time, and live up to the value of the mother." After saying this, Miao Shenke hurriedly retreated again.

Looking at the figure of Miao Shenke withdrawing, Wu Meiniang's heart churned, although at the beginning of her deposing Li Xian and supporting Li Dan's succession, she knew that there would definitely be people who opposed her, and even those who rebelled, and she was prepared for these, the only thing that made her feel unimaginable was that even after Xu Jingye's feat, they all rose up against her, so what would others think of this matter.

Another point is that, judging from the current situation, Xu Jingye's rebellion is unavoidable, if Xu Jingye rebels, how should he counterinsurgency, you know, since last year, when the Tiandao Sect rebelled, the imperial court was unable to send a large army to exterminate the Tiandao Sect because it wanted to mobilize troops against Tubo, but fortunately, there was a Di Renjie and Duan Jian, who stabilized the situation in Jiangnan that was about to be eroded.

Now there is still a stalemate on the Tibetan side, and the army cannot be transferred back, and the northern land, although the Turks have been completely destroyed, is still not calm, Tiele, who has just risen in the north, and the Khitan, which has little power but is extremely difficult, are constantly harassing the Tang frontier, which also causes those border troops to be unable to go south.

This is also a reason, Xu Jingye rebelled, the scope is not large, if it is widely implicated, or if the impact is great, it will form an atmosphere that is extremely unfavorable to him, and when the time comes, those courtiers in the court who are dissatisfied with her will definitely use this matter to attack him, and under the internal and external troubles, what will the situation become, Wu Meiniang can't imagine it.

In the final analysis, it is necessary to solve Xu Jingye, the biggest scourge, as long as Xu Jingye is solved, everything can be solved, but how to solve Xu Jingye, Wu Meiniang has never had a thought.

From Miao Shenke coming in and starting to tell the matter, to Wu Meiniang's analysis of the situation talking to herself, Shangguan Wan'er has been standing motionless next to her, like a statue, but she was extremely shocked in her heart, the British princess was going to rebel, and the mother was in a mess, and there was no solution.

Even if she is in the palace, it is still a little unimaginable for her to do such a thing.

When Wu Meiniang's last self-muttering voice heard in her ears, she didn't know what she thought, and suddenly said in a ghostly voice, "Niangniang, although this matter is extremely difficult to do, it doesn't mean that no one can do it." ”

As soon as she heard Shangguan Wan'er's words, Wu Meiniang suddenly became interested. For Shangguan Wan'er, Wu Meiniang really spoiled her to the bones, and sometimes even doted more than Princess Li Lingyue of Taiping, so she didn't have the slightest idea of blaming Shangguan Wan'er for this taboo interjection.

"Oh, listening to your little girl's tone, you have some ideas, tell me, who can do it, is it you?" Wu Meiniang said with a smile.

"Niangniang thinks highly of Wan'er, although Wan'er usually thinks highly of herself, but she has not gotten carried away to the point of not knowing the height of the sky, this kind of military affairs, even Niangniang has to treat it carefully, not to mention Wan'er, a little girl, Wan'er just heard what Niangniang said just now, and thought of one thing." Shangguan Wan'er said with a coquettish face.

"Tell me something."

"The slave maid thought of last year, the land of Jiangnan also experienced a rebellion, that rebellion was heard to be extremely huge, the entire Jiangnan was occupied by the rebels, but then it was still exterminated, I heard that the people who exterminated them only used less than 10,000 people, the slave maid thought, since there is such a powerful person, why didn't Niang Niang let him deal with the traitor, maybe he can really do the same as last year to deal with the traitors of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and capture the traitors?" Shangguan Wan'er said.
