This night, Wu Zetian couldn't sleep all night.

She's been sleeping well, but tonight she couldn't dream.

In my mind, I will involuntarily appear that a weak back is spread on the tombstone, covered in blood.

finally fell asleep, but she dreamed back to more than ten years ago.

She dreamed of the former emperor, that is, Gaozong Li Zhi, Cheng Wuting, Pei Yan, and many, many people she almost forgot. Yang Chenglie is also one of them. To be honest, Wu Zetian's impression of Yang Chenglie is not very clear. The reason why I can remember Yang Chenglie is more because of his sentence 'If you die, you can't eat'.

However, Wu Zetian was deeply impressed by Yang Chenglie's wife.

It was a lovely child like an elf, who couldn't help but have a beautiful appearance, and his talent surprised Wu Zetian.

I still remember that after she met Zheng Niangzi at that time, she once said to the people around her: If Zheng Sanniang is a man, even if she can't enter the photo in the future, she will become a famous person in Beijing.

It's a pity that after that meeting, she never saw Zheng Sanniang again.

More than ten years have passed, and Wu Zetian has forgotten Zheng Sanniang and himself, but he didn't expect it to come to mind again tonight.

It's hard to say clearly.

When you don't care, feelings are nothing.

But when you care, feelings become a precious memory, and it becomes an unforgettable remembrance.

This night, Wu Zetian turned over and over until dawn.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The next day, Wu Zetian's whole person felt bad.

Anyone who is familiar with her can feel the cold aura emanating from Wu Zetian's body.

At this time, even Di Renjie didn't dare to speak casually, and the entire court meeting was above. Everyone was terrified.

After the court meeting, Wu Zetian returned to Shangyang Palace and ascended to the bathing tower.

It has entered the twilight of spring, and after a drizzle in the early morning, the plump peach and apricot are withered, and the eyes are full of crimson and pink.

The sun shines on you. The warmth makes people feel very comfortable.

But Wu Zetian felt a little uncomfortable, sitting behind the bookcase, he couldn't give up, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Enlighten everyone, Elder Di Guo asks to see."

Outside the door, the waiter came to the courtesy.

Although the mood was not very comfortable, hearing that it was Di Renjie who asked to see him, Wu Zetian still cheered up and said in a deep voice: "Please invite the elders." ”

It didn't take a while. Footsteps were heard outside the door.

Immediately after, Di Renjie walked in from outside and bowed in front of the bookcase.

"Chen Di Renjie meets everyone."

"Huaiying, there are only you and me here, no need to be polite."

Wu Zetian said and glanced at Di Renjie.

This handsome man with a beautiful beard in his memory is now full of gray hair. The body is slightly rickety, revealing the twilight of drooping old age. This made Wu Zetian's heart. Suddenly a different kind of emotion was born.

This affection has nothing to do with male and female love, but is more of a person's remembrance of the past in his twilight years.

Di Renjie is six years younger than Wu Zetian and was born in the fourth year of Zhenguan. In the early years, he was admitted to the Ming Classics and was recommended by Yan Liben. He served as the governor of the prefecture. Later, he served as the head of Dali Temple, and within a year, he judged a large number of backlog cases, involving more than 17,000 people, but no one cried out for injustice. And it was since then. Wu Zetian knew about Di Renjie.

In the second year of the vertical arch, Di Ren was outstanding in the history of Ningzhou and made outstanding political achievements.

At that time, Guo Han, the superintendent of the imperial history, reported in the song: As soon as I entered Ningzhou, I knew that Di Renjie was a good official.

Because of this, Di Renjie was recruited to worship the winter official and was officially valued by Wu Zetian.

After that, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, raised troops, and Di Renjie pleaded for nearly 1,000 people, resolutely refusing to sentence him to death, which was appreciated by Wu Zetian. Then he did not hesitate to anger the prime minister Zhang Guangfu and beheaded the sergeants who harassed the people after the war, so that he was demoted to the rank of Sima of Luozhou. In the second year of heaven's grant, Wu Zetian ascended the throne and promoted Di Renjie to the style of Luantai Pingzhang.

However, not long after, he was framed by Lai Junchen again, and although he was finally able to clear his grievances, he was demoted to the rank of Pengze County Commander......

Until the first year of Long Live Tongtian, the Khitans rebelled.

Di Renjie was appointed as the governor of Youzhou, and soon restored order to Youzhou, so he became the waiter of Luantai again.

How many years have passed?

Wu Zetian knew very well in his heart that Di Renjie was not loyal to her. However, unlike other ministers, although he was not loyal to himself, he did his best in whatever he did. The country of this Wu Zhou also has his Di Renjie's hard work.

Thinking of this, Wu Zetian sighed faintly.

"Huaiying, is your illness cured?"

"Back to everyone, the old minister's illness is nothing, everyone is worried, it's really the minister's fault."

"Huaiying, I said that the two of us don't need to talk here like in the court...... You see, your hair is gray now, and you look old. Speaking of which, you are a little younger than me, but you have become so old, I don't feel very comfortable...... You have to take care of your health, there are many places where I will need you in the future. ”

Wu Zetian's words made Di Renjie a little confused.

During the court meeting, looking at Wu Zetian's appearance, he seemed to be in a bad mood, how could he suddenly become so sentimental?

"Everyone, the old minister is here today to discuss with you about the marriage between King Liang and the crown prince."

"Oh?"

Wu Zetian suddenly became interested, and the whole person seemed to be in a lot of energy, looking at Di Renjie and said, "Have you been to the East Palace?" ”

"Yes."

"And what did the prince say?"

"The prince has no objection to the marriage, and is even very happy."

Wu Zetian was also very happy to hear this, and the smile on his face became more, and the coldness he showed during the court meeting seemed to have weakened a lot.

At this moment, the waiter outside the door reported again: "Everyone, Princess Taiping asks to see." ”

"Why did Taiping come? Let her in. ”

Princess Taiping is Wu Zetian's youngest daughter, and Wu Zetian has always loved her.

But Di Renjie chuckled in his heart for no reason, he had a premonition that Princess Taiping seemed to have some bad intentions.

Reason?

He couldn't tell, it was just an instinctive reaction.

But he couldn't stop Princess Taiping from seeing him, and his heart suddenly became apprehensive.

Wow!

Footsteps sounded outside the house, a gust of incense blew in, and then I saw a beautiful woman in palace clothes floating in from outside the door.

"Hey, is Elder Di Guo here too?"

Princess Taiping is nearly forty years old, but she still looks like a little daughter.

She has towering temples, soft skin, delicate facial features, and a rare look between her eyebrows and eyebrows of Wu Zetian's youth.

After walking in, he greeted Di Renjie with a smile, and then blessed Wu Zetian.

"Taiping has seen everyone."

In his words, with a bit of naughtiness, Wu Zetian's mood suddenly improved.

She already had some feelings today, but now she first heard Di Renjie talk about the smooth marriage between Wu and Li, and then saw the charming little appearance of Princess Taiping, so she naturally became more and more happy. (To be continued......)
