In the early morning, the officials came to the noon gate one after another, and the officials who were waiting to enter the palace to participate in the court meeting were chatting and laughing in groups in front of the palace gate, and no one noticed that the guards at the head of the city were tighter than usual, revealing a tense atmosphere.

On the Wufeng Tower, Wu Zetian was neatly dressed and restored the majesty of the emperor. She condescendingly looked down from the upper floor at the hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in front of the noon gate, although she was dazzled and could only see a piece of vermilion, and could not see the faces of those people clearly, but she still looked at them very seriously.

"Wan'er, can you see clearly, Di Renjie is here?"

"Yes, everyone, Di Renjie is here, and he is standing with Pei Xingben and Ren Zhigu talking and laughing."

Pei Xingben and Ren Zhigu were added after Wei Fangzhen, Su Liangsi, and Cen Changqian, the prime ministers, were killed in prison or died of illness, and now they are also Tongping Zhangshi. Although Wan'er is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, she has always respected the prime ministers, except for public occasions in front of the emperor, according to some special etiquette requirements, she will call the prime ministers by name, and they have always been honored to call them a certain minister.

"Well, Pei Xingben and Ren Zhigu are also here!"

Wu Zetian breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself: "It seems that the news has not leaked out yet!" ”

Wan'er comforted: "That person failed to surrender the letter, although he was able to successfully hide his whereabouts, but the palace is strictly forbidden, and it is difficult for him to escape from the palace, and these people must not know that the matter has been revealed." ”

"Well, Wan'er is right!"

A relaxed smile appeared on Wu Zetian's face. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he asked a little nervously: "Pei Xuanli, Lu Xian, and Wei Yuanzhong have also arrived?" ”

The group on the side hurriedly said, "Everyone." They arrived earlier than Di Renjie, Ren Zhigu and others. ”

Wu Zetian reprimanded: "You are often in the inner palace, how can you recognize these ministers of the court." Wan'er? ”

Tuan'er closed her mouth in disbelief. Wan'er carefully confirmed, and said to Wu Zetian: "Everyone, they have arrived!" ”

"Good! Good! ”

Wu Zetian closed his eyes and said, "I'm a little tired, help me sit down!" ”

Wan'er and Tuan'er left and right, carrying Wu Zetian back to their seats and sitting down. Wu Zetian gasped for a while, stabilized his breathing, and asked again, "How are Wu Youyi and Wu Youji preparing over there?" ”

Wan'er said: "General Wu Youyi led the army of Yu Linwei to ambush on the north side of the palace, just waiting for Bixia's order. ”

Wu Zetian said: "What about Wu Youji? ”

She just said this. A military attache dressed in the uniform of the commander of the internal guard brigade hurriedly ran up to the gate of Zetian, and Xiao Hai, who was standing at the door of Wufeng Tower, inquired carefully and led him in a hurry.

"The last general Sheng Long, sent by General Wu Youji, report to Bixia, the right guard has been assembled, and he can act at any time!"

"Everyone?"

Wan'er looked at Wu Zetian, waiting for her will.

Outside the noon gate, there are more and more officials who come to attend the court meeting, usually at this time. The palace gate had been opened, and the officials were waiting in the courtroom, but today the palace gate was still tightly closed, and many officials began to be surprised, gathered together to discuss, and some people even looked up to the castle tower.

At this time, a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds on the horizon and shone on the splendid Wufeng Tower of the Golden Wall, and the officials suddenly found that the bells and drums that they could usually hear every day did not sound. Although they don't have an accurate timekeeping tool, but seeing that the sun is shining on the Wufeng Tower, it stands to reason that the bell and drum should have sounded.

The officials who gathered to chat all found out that something was wrong and rushed to the palace gate, and some anxious officials had already begun to bang on the palace gate and shout to the palace.

The commander of the Left Guard Brigade Sheng Long still knelt on one knee, holding his sword and hanging his head, Wu Zetian subconsciously rubbed the armrest of the dragon chair, and Wan'er asked again: "Everyone?" ”…,

Wu Zetian's figure shook slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's start!" ”

Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand to the door of the hall, Xiao Hai immediately swept the dust, and the two little attendants rushed to the bells, drums and drum towers on the side. The eunuch of the Drum and Bell Division raised his voice and said: "Mingjingyun Bell~~~"

"When~~~, when~~~, when~~~"

Eight small chamberlains worked together to pick up the big wooden bell and slammed it into the huge bronze bell hanging in the bell tower.

"Sound the drum!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Knock knock ......"

Eight fat and fat eunuchs also struck a row of drums in the drum tower at the same time, and the eight people moved in unison, and each hammer was struck with a neat and uniform rhythmic beauty.

The servants who are responsible for beating the drum and raising the bell in various parts of Luoyang City have been waiting there for a long time inexplicably, and the bells and drums on the Tianmen and the side of the Wufeng Tower rang, and the bells and drums of the whole city should be harmonized at the same time, and for a time the bells and drums echoed over the entire Luoyang City.

"When~~~, when~~~, when~~~"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Knock knock knock ......"

The doubts of the officials in front of the noon gate disappeared, and they sorted out their clothes one after another, arranged them neatly, and prepared to wait for the noon gate to open and enter the palace to see the driver.

"When~~~, when~~~, when~~~"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Knock knock knock ......"

On the north side of the palace city, the Yulin army in ambush in Yuanbi City, Yaoyi City and the warehouse cellar poured out and swooped down in front of the noon gate along both sides of the palace.

"When~~~, when~~~, when~~~"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Knock knock knock ......"

The right guard soldiers in ambush in the Shangyang Palace were like a forest, the sword light reflected the sun, the right guard general Wu Youji was fully clothed, pulled the saddle on the horse, pulled out the long sword and waved forward, and countless soldiers and horses poured out from the Shangyang Palace like a tide.

Wu Zetian, who was sitting on the throne, listened to the continuous sound of bells and drums, her cheeks suddenly twitched a few times, and her fingers clenched the secret letter tightly until it was clutched into a ball, and suddenly threw it to the ground.

This secret letter was written by someone to present a mutiny with the crown prince, forcing the Son of Heaven to abdicate and supporting the crown prince Wu Dan to restore Li Tang Jiangshan. There are many people involved in the secret letter, and there are three prime ministers alone, Di Renjie, Pei Xingben, Ren Zhigu, and Si Liqing Pei Xuanli, Zuo Cheng Lu Xian, Zhongcheng Wei Yuanzhong and others.

Believe it or not. She had to take precautions immediately, and. She believes!

Wei Fangzhi is dead, and Su Liangsi is dead. Cen Changqian died ......, how could these prime ministers not have a sense of sadness when the rabbit died and the fox died? In order to protect themselves, in order to avoid the footsteps of Bu Wei Fangzhen, Su Liangsi, Cen Changqian and others, they had to take risks. What's more, Di Renjie, Wei Yuanzhong, Ren Zhigu and others were originally interested in Li Tang.

Wu Zetian is a generation of empresses, unprecedented empresses. Of course, she has her wise and domineering side, but behind this powerful and powerful that everyone looks up to, there is a strong lack of self-confidence, and the reason is still: she is a woman!

A woman takes control. Something that has never happened since ancient times, is this Manchu Dynasty really convinced? Are these men really willing to crawl at her feet?

Di Renjie, there was no him among the officials who persuaded him at the beginning, and there was still no him among the officials who went to the court to congratulate him when he ascended the throne as the emperor, is he really loyal to himself?

Ren Zhigu, when Cen Changqian was the secretary of the Ministry of War, he was Cen Changqian's deputy, and the relationship between the two has always been friendly, but this time Cen Changqian died tragically in prison. He doesn't have any ideas?

There is also Wei Yuanzhong, the last time Xu Jingzhen's case involved him, Zhou Xing once said that Wei Yuanzhong was also an accomplice in betraying the party, although Zhou Xing did some rebellious and wrong things for his own selfish interests, but his talent is still very strong, could it be that what he said at the beginning was true?

Wu Zetian went from a talented person to the queen's throne step by step. In the process of her ascension to the throne and becoming emperor, she encountered a fierce counterattack from the Li Tang clan and the civil and military ministers. …,

Behind the fact that she is far more powerful and domineering than those male emperors, there is a fear and lack of confidence that she is far stronger and more sensitive than these male emperors.

When Xu Jingzhen defected, Gong Siye and Zhang Siming, who were picked up by her and regarded as confidants, actually secretly gave convenience, plus she was assassinated in the palace, it was obvious that the generals of the forbidden army secretly cooperated, and so on, making her more and more sensitive. She has always been known for her shrewdness and wisdom, and she is often used by some treasonous information, which is a strong reflection of her mentality.

Especially in the past two years, her body has deteriorated, and her old age can no longer be concealed, and this fear is even more obvious.

She was well aware that there were many officials waiting to peck at her corpse like a dead vulture waiting for its dying and struggling prey; She knew that those surviving Li Tang clans, even including her two biological sons, were waiting for her to return to heaven as soon as possible; The nephews of the Wu clan who relied on her for glory and wealth were also eager to calculate the time of her death, and they were bent on grabbing more power, even ...... Her throne.

She fears death, the loss of power, the betrayal of her courtiers, and everything she has gained will abandon her in an instant, and the only way for her to hold on to it is to slaughter, only to shed blood and death, that everyone can remember: she is still the ruler of this empire!

If she feels frightened, she has to make others more afraid than her, because she is Wu Cao, and she is an unprecedented generation of empresses!

In front of the noon gate, the civil and military officials were stunned when they saw the three prime ministers and many ministers arrested one by one.

Jingyun Bell and Wentian Drum rang eight hundred times, this was a long process, and the civil and military officials watched in amazement as Di Xiang, Pei Xiang, Ren Xiang and Wei Zhongcheng and others were arrested one by one in the sound of bells and drums, and watched the dust in the distance, and the thousands of troops and horses that suddenly appeared from the Shangyang Palace were killed into the distance.

Lai Junchen also opened his mouth to stammer, and it was the first time he had seen such a dramatic scene: "I just killed three prime ministers, and in just a few days, I have arrested three more prime ministers, what a big deal!" It's still bixia! Lai Junchen thought with admiration.

At this moment, a gap opened in the noon gate, and the servant Xiaohai came out, glanced at the crowd, and said loudly: "Bixia has a purpose, and the Emperor will come to Junchen Wufeng Tower to see him!" ”

"Obey the order!"

Lai Junchen was in good spirits, and immediately knew that his business had come to the door, so he quickly agreed and squeezed out of the crowd.

After Yang Fan, who was guarding the noon gate, waited for Xiaohai to bring in Lai Junchen, he immediately ordered someone to reclose the noon gate and put a huge stone on top of it. This earth-shattering change made him feel at a loss, but he still didn't know what was going on, Yang Fan thought to himself: "I have to find a chance to ask Wan'er and find out what happened!" ”

Lai Junchen saw Yang Fan with a slight melancholy, and his heart suddenly moved: "This time the matter seems to be very serious, if I can get him in!" That enchanting and charming little lady of the Yang family......"

Lai Junchen's heart was hot, and his legs that stepped towards the city suddenly gained a little more strength.
