"The mourners shouted that you came here to discuss, not to quarrel, so go down." Wu Zetian was furious.

But there is no way to discuss this confluence any further.

Walking out, Su Liangsi and Wei Zhifang glanced at each other, and then they both laughed. Su Liangsi said: "I didn't expect it, Wei Lao, you actually have today's excitement." ”

"You're not bad, I didn't expect that."

Laughing again, both of them were old, and as the laughter rippled, two big white beards fluttered in the wind.

The rain fell even harder, but the two of them didn't realize it.

The conversation reached Wu Zetian's ears again, and he was very angry. I haven't quit politics yet, you are all so arrogant, and you have made an edict to demote Su Liangsi to the history of the Xiuzhou Thorn, and Wei Fangzhen to the history of the Fengzhou Thorn, both of which are in Lingnan, so it is better to say that it is a demotion than an exile.

There are not too many talents in the court.

At this time, Wu Zetian was a little flustered, normal logic, as soon as her husband died, her son had a showdown with herself. However, it is okay, there has been a fraud for a year and a half, and the son of Da Yuanyi in the name has it, the people's desire, the son has it, and the Tao is righteous, it seems that the son also has it, even if he is a mother, the strength of the military team, the son is even more.

After these two edicts, Wu Zetian felt extra weak. She has never felt so powerless, even if Shangguanyi's admonition is in danger, she has a way to calmly resolve it. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he issued another secret edict, asking more than a dozen intimate guards to follow Su Wei and the others, wait for them to cross the Huai River, and kill them halfway.

……

Di Renjie and Zhu Jingze came to Zhu Jingze's house.

Zhu Jingze was originally a wealthy family in the township, his family was not short of money, and his mansion was better than Di Renjie's small courtyard in Luoyang.

At this time, all the family members were exiled, the house slaves fled in all directions, and the two houses were sealed together, so it was better for the two of them to stay in the Zhu Mansion together and wait for the change of events.

Came to the door of the Zhu Mansion, with a seal on it.

A lieutenant brought by Luo Wucheng drew out a horizontal knife and opened the seal with one sword.

Zhu Jing frowned and said, "You are Your Majesty's tiger ben, and you must abide by the control system." ”

"Well, when is it? What else is the system? Di Renjie took his hand amusedly, pushed open the door and walked in.

But both of them stood at the same time, and they had not yet entered the house, but the scene in the front yard was very bleak, there were many flowers and plants planted, and it was the time when a hundred flowers were blooming, but the flowers in the courtyard were also left, and the grass was also lying down, and a few pots of Zhu Jingze's favorite orchids ran out of the pots, without a complete leaf, and some of the roots were exposed to the outside. At this time, in the bitter wind and rain, my hair trembled, as if I was crying. It was as if ten mammoth elephants had trampled in the courtyard for ten hours.

After standing for a while, Di Renjie patted Zhu Jingze's shoulder and said, "Forget it, it's a great blessing that the life of the things outside the body can be saved." ”

With a wry smile, he walked into the house.

This is true outside the hospital, let alone inside the house. It was a mess, all the valuable items disappeared, and Zhu Jing actually found a flower pot, a small stove, a small bag of tea, and a few teacups from the mess.

In the midst of suffering, a bucket of water was brought from the well of the patio and boiled tea.

He sat down, looked at one of the guards, and asked, "Do you have any money with you?" ”

I don't have a penny, at least I have to buy a biological product.

"Bring me, I still have dozens of gold and silver coins on me," replied one of the guards.

"Then please go out and buy some daily necessities for me and Di Xianggong."

"Whoa."

Ying Sheng went out with four guards, and the remaining few diligent guards began to clean the house, otherwise no one would be able to stay.

Zhu Jing made tea for Di Renjie and sat down silently. I escaped death, and my family was outside, and the house was turned like this, but I thought about the sins suffered by my family on the way.

Luo Wuquan also rushed back.

Zhu Jing wanted to make tea for him, and Luo Wuquan didn't dare to be arrogant to Zhu Jing, which was the future pillar of His Majesty. Snatched the teapot and poured himself tea.

Di Renjie asked, "What did the Queen Mother say when she called you into the palace?" ”

Luo Wu told the story roughly.

"You can't do this, the Queen Mother is Your Majesty's mother after all," Zhu Jing couldn't help but reproach.

Luo Wuquan didn't take it seriously, and there was a mother who did this?

Zhu Jing still wanted to say something, let Di Renjie hold it, you say, can Luo Wucheng's mentality at this time be listened to? Asked Guan Jian: "General Luo, is Your Majesty okay?" ”

"Your Majesty is very good, but it hurts to hear that so many people have died."

This is inevitable, Wu Zetian wants to take power, how difficult it is, not to kill the people, up to the minister's family, down to the surname of Li Min, can you be convinced? But Di Renjie didn't explain, sighed, and said, "When will Your Majesty come back?" ”

"It's about a quick time."

"Came back a little late."

"There is still a game of chess in the north, and His Majesty said to the ministers that when he comes back this time, the national family will go from chaos to order. Play a game of chess in the north, and by the way, suppress the tyrannical rebellion of the Turks. There are all kinds of things involved in the middle, and the time is not easy to control. ”

"Chess in the north," Di Renjie immediately thought of Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianqiao, and his eyes lit up.

The guards also came back with large and small items, and bought a few jars of wine, a few pieces of roast beef, a few roast chickens, and three boxes of cold dishes. Luo Wuquan asked them to put it on the table, and at this time they were not bound by etiquette, anyway, they were all messed up like this, everyone sat down together, drank old wine, and ate vegetables. Relatively wordless.

However, there were many people with the surname Baiyuan outside, wanting to ask for news about Li Wei. However, even Luo Wuquan knew that there was no need to do much, so he closed the door. After a while, the rain went down, and the sky was also at dusk, and the curling fog, I don't know whether it was rain and fog or evening twilight, surrounded the sky over Luoyang. The sound of firecrackers can be heard from time to time in the distance, and it has not stopped since the afternoon and until now. When I heard that, almost every household was celebrating.

It was also time for the officials to be on duty, and the first guest came first. Wei Zhigu.

was one of the first officials to walk into Li Wei's side, but like Zhu Jingze, he was caught between Li Wei and Li Zhi's father and son, and he was in a dilemma. He has a very calm personality, with few words, and gradually fades out of the circle around Li Wei. Li Wei still admires his talents. Even in the future reconstruction of the court, Wei Zhigu will occupy an important place, but Wei Zhigu does not know.

Seeing him, some surprised, and some not surprised, welcomed him in.

Letting him sit down, Wei Zhigu waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll leave after a few words." ”

thought that he avoided suspicion and did not blame, after all, under Wu Zetian's violent methods, many ministers were afraid. It's Di Renjie and Zhu Jingze themselves, are they really not afraid?

Wei Zhigu said: "Since the Queen Mother issued an order to exile your family, I have made some arrangements for the family of Liang Jinzhu and Earth Horse. You don't have to worry, they won't be wronged on the road. ”

"That's great, Di thanked me for the matter," Di Renjie said happily. not only their families, but also Di Hui and Di Hao.

"Don't thank me, it's the Lu Liang family who spent a lot of money."

"How much did it take?"

"The six of you are in three places, and you have no choice but to do it, and you have spent more than 18,000 gold in total."

"Grab the money." Zhu Jing jumped up suddenly. One gold has to be exchanged for nearly six taels of money, more than 18,000 gold, how much is it?

"The world is windy, it's not a few years ago, without so much money, these officials won't be moved. Moreover, there is also the pressure of Zhou Guogong, and under his anger, it is difficult for the officials to behave. ”

"It's hard to be a ......," Zhu Jing didn't say. No matter how good his family is, more than 10,000 gold will crush him to death. In the Tang Dynasty, there were no more than 50 state capitals with a tax revenue of 18,000 gold a year. How did these people open their mouths?

"Young Eunuch Zhu, don't be angry, money is something outside the body, Your Majesty will come back, and there will be a time for liquidation. It's good to be able to keep them, especially the two talented people, and Pei Shilang, Liu Gong, and Li Xianggong's families. ”

Hearing Li Yuanyiyan, Wei Zhigu's eyes were a little gloomy, and he said: "Originally, I also wanted to rescue Li Xianggong, but my strength was insufficient, and it was difficult to save his life." ”

Di Renjie and Zhu Jingze were both embarrassed when they heard it.

Wei Zhigu said again: "An incident happened in the afternoon, the Queen Mother demoted Su Xianggong and Wei Xianggong from the court and made Liu Yizhi the new prime minister. ”

"Huh, why?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that in the afternoon, the Queen Mother called several prime ministers to the inner palace for discussion, and not long after, several prime ministers came out, and the edict was also issued. That's all I have to say, and I'm going to take my leave. If I am not afraid, in extraordinary times, I will be safe in the court, or I can do something for you and for Your Majesty. ”

"Okay, then we won't send it."

As soon as he left, another guest, Liu Qun in the East Palace, found an excuse to leave the East Palace and came to the Zhu Mansion to ask Li Wei for news.

Di Renjie said: "You go back and say hello to the concubines of the East Palace, Your Majesty is safe and sound, and it won't be long before you come back." But let them be in the East Palace, don't be quiet. And don't send people out to inquire about the news, as you did today. can't be happy and stabbing the queen mother. ”

"Whoa."

There is no way, the Queen Mother went to Su Wei in such a hurry, which means that she has lost some square inches. The Queen Mother who loses her square inch is not terrible, but the murderous intent will be heavier. A sane queen mother will not make a move on the East Palace at this moment, but a queen mother who has lost her square inch is very likely to attack the East Palace.

Liu Qun left, and it was almost dark.

Di Renjie and Zhu Jing were helpless, so they had to see how Wu Zetian would make his next move. If she were her, she would have been caught a long time ago, but the Queen Mother, anything is possible.

But don't worry, what's the matter, Your Majesty also has the upper hand at this time.

With a rare relaxation, Di Renjie and Zhu Jingze both drank high.

Di Renjie hit the bowl, and Zhu Jing pulled up his rough throat and sang:

Emperor Gaoyang's Miao descendants,

I am the emperor and called Boyong.

Seti Zhen Yu Meng Xi,

But Geng Yin I surrendered.

……

A poignant and sad song "Lisao" made him sing a song "Nothing", which made everyone inside and outside the house can't help but cover their ears.
