Luoyang, the capital of the gods.

A voluptuous woman was rummaging through the desk, sometimes frowning, sometimes showing a hint of surprise. Suddenly, the bell rang, and the bell in the room rang. She suddenly stood up alertly, revealing a figure that was proud enough, and the slightly close-fitting beard showed her bewitch curves that would make any man crazy.

"Director, Xiao Si is back and has brought instructions from His Highness." He whispered outside the door.

The woman is Yan Ruyu, her tense body instantly relaxed, and she has fought several times with the plum blossom guards recently, she doesn't dare to be careless. Immediately, she said, "Let Xiaosi speak!" "She will not meet these subordinates lightly, one is to avoid suspicion, Wu Chu is authoritative, and the smart Yan Ruyu naturally knows the importance of avoiding suspicion, and His Royal Highness has asked her to find a successor several times, which shows that His Royal Highness no longer wants him to be in charge of the Intelligence Bureau, but the person selected is not very satisfied, so she is still in charge of the Intelligence Bureau.

After a short time, Xiao Si came outside the house, and after a salute, he said: "Your Highness is very dissatisfied, and requires that the person behind the scenes be found out within a month at most, otherwise it will ......."

Xiao Si couldn't go on, Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Otherwise, what?" You name it! ”

"Your Highness said, otherwise we will all commit suicide collectively!" Xiao Si suddenly exhaled lightly, His Royal Highness is difficult to serve, but it is even more difficult for the aunt and grandmother here to serve.

After a while, Yan Ruyu took a breath and said slowly: "Your Highness must be very angry when she says this, contact the sisters in the palace and try your best to find out." We've got a million dollars a year, and you've had enough. Let's work hard, even if His Highness doesn't kill him, we won't have the face to live. ”

"My subordinates understand!" Say yes outside the door.

A smile appeared on Yan Ruyu's face. Thinking of Wu Zheng's angry appearance, I remembered that cute appearance, and the rough energy that vented anger on her. Her face was rosy, and she said to herself, "We all committed suicide, don't you become alone?" Really, just say some angry words! ”

Immediately, he returned to the back of the bookcase. Dig it out.

A few days later, the empress led her ministers to climb Songshan Mountain, and Wu Shui drove with her. King Wu of Liang presided over the sacrifice three times, and then prayed to heaven and threw a golden book to remember it.

Wu Chuan watched the one-foot-long gold brick Yu Jun Ji Peak throw into the mountains of Songshan Mountain, he really wanted to secretly order someone to find it. But there are thousands of mountains. Extremely steep. There are many beasts and poisonous insects in the jungle, and they go deep into it and die for a lifetime. He can't send his own people to death for the sake of a gold brick, it's not worth it.

The empress visited the immortal Buddha and threw bricks for six days, and after six days, the empress feasted the ministers in Fengtian Palace.

Although Li Tang's former ministers were almost cut off by Wu Zheng, there is always a large group of literary scholars who rely on poetry and literature to make a living. Moreover, in order to write "Three Teachings of Zhuying" for Erzhang, the empress also recruited many people who climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix.

This is most represented by Song Zhiwen, whose poetry is gorgeous and good at flattery. Attached to the two sheets, I got a straight bachelor from Hongwenguan. It is also enshrined in the prison of the crane. Originally, with Song Zhiwen's talent and appearance, he might become the head of the empress. It's a pity that Song Zhiwen doesn't like to pay attention to hygiene, and the empress once said to her courtiers in private that Song Zhiwen's mouth is too stinky.

After only staying in Fengtian Palace for two days, the empress drove back to Sanyang Palace, and Wu Chu had time to deal with the backlog of songs, and he was very dissatisfied.

As soon as she arrived at Sanyang Palace, the empress decreed that Wang Wu Sansi of Liang should be moved to the special advance. In this way, Wu Sansi even lost the real power of the Chunguan Shangshu, and for a while, the ministers suddenly understood that the status of the prince was unshakable.

On this day, the empress summoned Wu Chuan to give a lecture, and after a salute, the empress asked Wu Chuan to sit down, and asked: "The emperor, if today's officials, local officials, and spring officials are all empty scholars, in the emperor's opinion, who can be competent?" ”

Wu Chu has also been thinking about this problem, although he has some vague plans in his heart, but he is immature, so he said: "Since Li Qiao was appointed as the Tianguan Shilang, although the trial officials have been changed and the number of foreign officials has been increased, but in this way, now the foreign officials are filled with various departments, and it has actually become a burden on the imperial court. Therefore, the child thought that the position of the official secretary of heaven must be appointed by a person with both ability and political integrity.

The empress nodded, she also began to have a headache for the redundant officials in the court, so she asked, "Is there a candidate for the emperor?" ”

Wu Zheng bowed and said: "The child recommends Wei Yuanzhong, the servant of the Zuotai, this person is enough to serve, he has a strong personality and does not yield to the powerful, and the son thinks that he is the best candidate for the Tianguan Shangshu." ”

There was a look of doubt on the empress's face, you must know that Wei Yuanzhong and Wu Chuan have never dealt with each other, even if they were both in Qiuguan back then, they just received the holy decree. She said: "Where should Tang Xiujing, the official waiter, put it that day? ”

For Tang Xiujing, the empress still loves it very much, Tang Xiujing not only has a side merit, but also a good hand at governing one side, such a person should be reused.

Wu Shu smiled slightly, and said: "Isn't there a lack of one person in this Chunguan Shangshu, as a child, Wei Yuanzhong will be moved to be the heavenly official squire, and Tang Xiujing will be promoted to the Chunguan Shangshu." ”

The empress nodded, it is not impossible to arrange it like this, Tang Xiujing has not served as a heavenly official for a few months, and after the imperial examination in February, he also showed that his ability is not bad. In this way, then the Tianguan Shangshu was temporarily vacant, so he asked again: "The Tianguan and the Chunguan Shangshu have been resolved, so is there a candidate for the emperor of the Diguan Shangshu?" ”

Wu Shu paused slightly, then raised his head, and asked, "What does the mother emperor think of Wei Zhou's assassin Shi Di Renjie?" ”

The empress was silent for a moment, and said: "This person has been loved by the people in the place he governs, and it is rumored that the people have set up an ancestral hall for him. She paused, then looked at Wu Chuan and said, "Does the emperor want to recommend Di Renjie?" ”

Wu Shu sighed and said: "When the child was young, he was taught by Di Renjie a lot, and this kindness made the child unforgettable, and Lou Shide recommended it to his sons many times, presumably Lou Shide also recommended it to the mother emperor." ”

The empress smiled slightly, then took a sip of tea and said: "That's right, Lou Shide has recommended Di Renjie more than once, but I am afraid that after Di Renjie takes power, he will really rebel, and with his popularity, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not pull up a group of people." For the sake of the society, I degraded him a lot. Now that the emperor mentions Di Renjie, I don't know whether to use it or not. ”

Wu Chu pondered slightly, admittedly. With Di Renjie's current popularity, it is indeed very easy to pull up a vote, but after he received Di Renjie's earnest Nobunaga, he felt that he had always misunderstood Di Renjie.

Di Renjie is a person with great ambitions, this person doesn't care who is the emperor in the imperial court at all, what he cares about is his personal fame and his supreme merits in this world. And so on. Wu Shui should give him a chance.

So, Wu Zheng said: "Di Renjie is a capable minister who governs the world, and his son thinks it." The mother emperor should abandon prejudice and reuse him, and let the world know that my Great Zhou will still reuse the powerful Li Tang old ministers. ”

The Empress nodded slightly. said: "Then according to the emperor's opinion." Qian Di Renjie was appointed as a local official, but he had to wait for the Khitan to quell the rebellion before taking office. ”

Wu Chu said with a smile: "The mother's opinion is reasonable, now that the Khitan rebellion is about to be quelled, Weizhou still needs an expert to govern, so that the child can have no swindle, and after Hebei is stable, let him go to the court." ”

He then said, "In this way, that Zhang said that he also has to adjust it." In the opinion of the sons, can the country be revitalized? ”

The Empress laughed, "That's what you said. Can I still say yes? In this way, let Zhang Shuo go to the bar where he is the chief priest of the country, I heard that his poetry has become famous all over the world, and there is a tendency that the blue is better than the blue. ”

Wu Chu smiled bitterly, the empress seemed to have some complaints about not attacking Shifu, he said: "Erchen is really not very interested in Shifu, please don't blame the empress." ”

In this way, Wu Chu listened to the empress's teachings in the inner palace, and also arranged some vacant official positions by the way.

Another day, the empress secretly summoned Wu Chuan to meet her.

When Wu Zheng stepped into the empress's bedroom, he saw that there were already several people in the palace, and they were all sitting quietly, even his mother Wu was sitting on the side of the empress.

When Wu Chu looked at it one by one, he saw Princess Taiping, King Zhong Li Xian, Xiang Wang Li Dan, and Liang Wang Wu Sansi, all sitting down one by one. Wu Shu hurriedly saluted, and then the empress asked him to sit down.

Immediately, the empress said slowly: "I invited you here today, naturally there is a big matter to discuss, and it is a matter related to my Wu and Li families. King Zhong and King Xiang are my children, and King Wei is my crown prince. Although I have often taught you to live in harmony, I will not do what I want, I am old, and my time is short, so I can watch over you for a day, and when I ascend to the Western Bliss, I will not see you. ”

Wu Chu hurriedly got up, and the rest of the people also got up together, Wu Chu bowed and said: "The mother emperor is in good health, and don't say such frustrating words, which makes the sons feel sad." ”

The corners of Li Xian and Li Dan's mouths twitched, what should have been said by them was actually said by Wu Zheng, so everyone blamed themselves for a while, and they were comforted.

The empress didn't pay attention to it, and continued: "For many days, I have been trying hard to solve the contradiction between the Wu and Li families, and now, I finally have an eyebrow. I will give you an iron coupon for you to swear here. Shangguan waits for the system, come out and read it to them! ”

After a while, Shangguan Wan'er, who was dressed in a moon-white robe, walked out slowly, and after giving a salute to the empress, she began to read, "Fengtian carries the emperor, and says: The Wu family has the ...... of the world."

Shangguan Wan'er's voice had a unique magnetism, which immediately attracted the men present, even Wu Zheng, who had heard Shangguan Wan'er's various voices, was deeply attracted at this moment. If it weren't for the empress at this moment, he would have had an impulse.

The content of Shangguan Wan'er's recitation is nothing more than that the Wu family wins the world, and the Li family should also be a member of the imperial family, and the Wu family wants to ensure that the Li family is prosperous and wealthy, etc., and the Li family also wants to maintain the status of the Wu family's imperial system.

“…… I would like to take this as a reminder of the Danshu Iron Coupon, and I would like to do this! ”

Immediately, the palace people held a piece of iron with very delicate carving, which had been inlaid into a book with gold wire, and looked at the word Juanxiu, which came from the hands of the empress.

After Shangguan Wan'er finished reading, the empress said: "Now, you wait one by one and put your hands on the Danshu iron coupon to make an oath, and I want to see you wait for the oath with my own eyes." There is my imperial sister, and Shangguan to be controlled, and Zuo Xiang Lou Shide as a witness! ”

Immediately, she ordered: "Please Lou Xiang come in!" ”

Not long after, Lou Shide came, he was silent, and after seeing each other, he found some clues. Shangguan Wan'er explained, Lou Shide's eyes moistened and agreed, and he became the third witness.

In this way, after burning incense and prostrating, he began to take an oath.

Wu Chu was the first to put his hand on the iron coupon of the Nadan book, and then said: "Huang Tian is above, I, Wu Chuan swears, in my lifetime, I will ensure the glory and wealth of the Li family." ”

The empress said: "Emperor, not only in life, but also for future generations!" ”

Wu Chuan said again: "I, Wu Chuan swears, my descendants will ensure the glory and wealth of the Li family, otherwise there will be no place to bury them!" ”

In this way, the empress nodded slightly, and then Li Xian, the loyal king, Li Xian's thin figure, trembled and put his hand on the Danshu iron coupon, and swore a poisonous oath never to betray. (To be continued......)
