Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Emperor's Heart is Unfathomable

The short five words were said in a lazy tone, this tone was erratic and empty, but when it came out of Wu Zetian's mouth, it was like Mount Tai pressing on the top, not to mention Qin Shaoyou and Wu Yinglong, even the other princes and ministers in the palace couldn't help but hold their breath at this time.

One of Wu Zetian's jade fingers rubbed against the jade case, and it was as silent as death.

Then, she said slowly: "Where are the students?" ”

Everyone's hearts seemed to be jumping out.

Wu Yinglong's face was like ashes, and he felt a little bad.

At this time, the Divine Capital Mansion Priest stood up and said in a deep voice: "It's in the Mansion." ”

Wu Zetian smiled and said calmly: "Although he beat people with his hands, but Da Zhou advocates filial piety, and the people in the market have been insulted to their parents, and they still have to splatter blood for five steps, not to mention being a knowledgeable student?" Let them go, and allow them to go back to the four schools of study. ”

After Wu Zetian finished ordering, his smiling face changed suddenly, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "But such a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning has to be heard by the heavens, a good year, such an uneasy life, whose fault is this?" ”

Wu Zetian sneered, smiling like the edge of a sharp knife, making people tremble: "Look, the door must be reviewed, the Chinese book must be considered, and the book is also duty-bound, this matter must be investigated deeply, there should always be someone who has the head on the ground, do not forget the past, and the teacher of the future!" Today's events should serve as a warning to those who come after them. With that, she was on her feet......

The faces of the officials in Menxia, Shangshu, and Zhongshu provinces changed suddenly.

The Holy Emperor's words were by no means a joke, I originally thought that the Holy Emperor would just clean up Qin Shaoyou or a Wu Yinglong, but I didn't expect that even the three provinces would be angry. Especially that sentence, there should always be someone's head on the ground, and another sentence, it should be a warning to future generations, which means that this matter is unshirkable, no one wants to get out, since it is to set an example, then this responsibility must be clearly distinguished, but who is responsible?

Everything is vague, but it is this sentence full of mysteries, but everyone is affected by it, the three provinces of Zaifu, how dare they slack, so they went out of class one after another, they did not argue, did not ask for guilt, but just bowed down one after another, and did not dare to come out.

Wu Zetian glanced coldly at everyone in the hall, stroked her long sleeves, and left, her back had already passed the jade steps, and she was about to cross the corridor connecting the main hall, but she left a sentence at this time: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, the day of Zhengyuan is the beginning of the new year, today, and the future...... I'm afraid that's the case. ”

…………

Wu Zetian walked away, and countless female officials and palace ladies faded like a flood.

Shangguan Wan'er didn't leave, she was still standing on the jade steps, her eyes were cold, looking at these people who didn't dare to come out, her eyes finally fell on Qin Shaoyou.

The above official Wan'er's understanding of Wu Zetian, at this time, I am afraid that even she doesn't know what His Majesty is thinking, but one thing is certain, these things happened, Long Yan was already angry, in the past, even if there was nothing to do, the Holy Emperor's edict would have to be decided by thousands of people, I don't know how many wealthy families broke down and destroyed their families, and the brilliant Zhu Lou turned into dust and rubbles in an instant, not to mention that today is really angry.

She glanced at Qin Shaoyou angrily, she cherished Qin Shaoyou's talent, although the two did not negotiate much, but they also cared about some old feelings, but now, her pretty face was as cold as frost, and she said sharply: "Someone." ”

Several golden-armored warriors were already standing at the gate of the temple like small towers, and in the cold wind, the scarlet cloak draped behind them danced in the wind.

Their calloused hands gripped the hilt of the knife and were ready to go!

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Qin Shaoyou, and then at Wu Yinglong, her face was extremely indifferent: "Take Qin Shaoyou!" ”

Click...... Card Wipe ......

The bulky boots became tighter and tighter, and several warriors were already pressing their swords to surround Qin Shaoyou's group.

Qin Shaoyou got up, then raised his eyes, and then smiled gratefully at Shangguan Wan'er, but Shangguan Wan'er turned her face away, leaving only a silhouette under the lights.

Qin Shaoyou raised his hands and signaled that he was not threatening, but the warriors did not embarrass him, but just escorted him out of the main hall step by step.

Qin Shaoyou's mood was calm, no matter what, several students were rescued, although the sinister future was still in front of him, but he finally completed the first step of this turbulent road ahead.

Out of the hall, the wind is very cold, the cold wind is pervasive, he sighed, looking back at this splendid and majestic palace, it seems quiet and quiet, at this time, he showed a warm side, the handsome face in the haze weather is calm as water, the corners of the mouth are only slightly hooked, and the eyes that are still shining look at the palace city: "The wind is really strong." ”

………………

The Vientiane Shrine was empty, and there was no longer any life, but there was still a little bit of the fierce confrontation and the unpredictable aura of that day.

Shangguan Wan'er followed the Yongdao and reached the end step by step, and then in front of it, there was a side hall.

The palace outside the hall has retreated, she quietly opened a corner of the palace door, although it is decorated, but it is still empty, so empty that it makes people's hearts palpitate.

Only in the corner of the temple, near the window, stood alone, looking out the window, not moving.

The light in the hall did not shine on this person, but hid in the shadows, and she held her hands behind her back, like an iceberg, as if she should have been here, never moved, how depressed this back was, and so dignified.

Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment, tiptoed, and was about to leave the hall.

Wu Zetian under the shadow suddenly said: "Wan'er......"

Shangguan Wan'er was helpless, so she had to step forward and said, "The minister is here." ”

Wu Zetian in the shadow didn't look back, just looked at the pavilions and halls outside the window ethereally, and there was no more sound.

However, the tacit understanding of the monarch and the ministers let Shangguan Wan'er know that His Majesty wanted her to stay here, so she stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the thief Qin Shaoyou has already taken it." ”

"Oh." The answer to her was a word of indifference.

Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head, not daring to make any more noise, she suddenly had a sense of fear, this fear permeated her whole body, so that her small and beautiful nose couldn't help but ooze fine sweat, sweat gathered under the tip of the nose, crystal clear, and finally fell......

Suddenly, Wu Zetian turned around, her face was gloomy, and her eyes were murderous: "Wan'er, why do you want to favor Qin Shaoyou?" ”

This sudden questioning frightened Shangguan Wan'er's face, she was a woman after all, no matter how much she had seen the world, it was difficult to withstand such coercion, she was busy bowing down, and said: "The minister is dead!" ”

She is indeed partial to Qin Shaoyou, His Majesty did not say to take Qin Shaoyou, but after Long Yan was furious about this matter, someone must have wanted to fall to the ground, this person may be Qin Shaoyou, or it may be someone else, it is unforgivable to make such a thing on an occasion like today. And Shangguan Wan'er ostensibly let people take down Qin Shaoyou, but in fact it is a kind of protection, if His Majesty really has a grudge against Qin Shaoyou, when it is time to make a move, I heard that Qin Shaoyou has been taken and has suffered a lot, at this time, maybe his heart is soft, and Qin Shaoyou can be pardoned; The so-called detention is nothing more than Shangguan Wan'er's hope that this will make Wu Zetian discourage.

Shangguan Wan'er's tears fell to the ground, fell to the ground, and choked up: "Minister...... and Qin Shaoyou, there is indeed an old, the minister has selfish intentions, and his crime should be punished, but ...... Qin Shaoyou caused this trouble, in the final analysis, it was also for His Majesty...... He runs a school ......"

Wu Zetian's face finally softened a little, she still cherished Shangguan Wan'er, but her face was still solemn, and she said coldly: "If it weren't for this, he would have been crushed to pieces, do you think he would still be alive until now?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er suddenly felt a glimmer of hope, raised her teary eyes, and said, "Then what Your Majesty means ......"

Wu Zetian turned his head and began to look out of the window again, standing still.

Shangguan Wan'er knelt, and when she couldn't get an answer, she was only worried in her heart.

Unconsciously, the sky was already dark, the sun was shining, Wu Zetian showed a trace of tiredness, she turned around, didn't pay attention to Guan Wan'er anymore, and was already gone.

In the lonely hall, the candle flame has gradually gone out, and His Royal Highness Chang, only Shangguan Wan'er was left, she knelt, her face was pale, until late at night. A palace lady cautiously stepped in and said, "Your Majesty ordered, please wait for the edict to go to Lingyan Pavilion to get the "Brahmana Net Sutra" and go to the dormitory. ”

Shangguan Wan'er was like being amnestied, she barely got up, but her legs and feet were numb, and she fell down again, that Gong'e hurriedly came to help, Shangguan Wan'er gritted her teeth and said: "Thank you for the grace of the Holy Emperor." ”
