"Is there a confession? I set up a copper proclamation, which was originally to listen to it at the same time, but over the years, many proclamations, either the things they told are purely chasing after the wind and shadows, and they are all false things when they are checked, or they are some cumbersome folk trivialities, which also have to be reported to the emperor, and I am tired of reading them. You're reporting it now, but what's so special? ”

Wu Zetian's voice was a little tired, and he lacked interest in this matter.

Bronze Kuang, in the palace, the court and the downtown of the capital each set up a statue, it is like a modern report box, regularly someone will go to open, the inside of the whistleblower letter sorted out, reported to the emperor.

Wu Zetian's original intention in setting up Tongkuang was to crack down on political opponents. When she was walking towards the throne step by step, with her unique sensitivity to women, she noticed that many courtiers were secretly pregnant with ghosts, and they were still loyal to Li Tang.

At the same time, she reused Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen, Suo Yuanli and other cool officials, according to the objects exposed by the secret letter of Tongkuang, skillfully climbed, and successively killed hundreds of Li Tang clans and ministers of civil and military affairs in the imperial court, and killed countless officials below Shi Lang, which was an important prop to seize her power.

But now the copper has lost its original role.

Although Wu Zetian believed that there were still many ministers with secret ill intentions, she believed that with the powerful eyes and ears of Liliang and the Three Law Divisions that she had now mastered, it was enough to deal with it. While reporting and exposing misdeeds, Tong Kuang has become a tool for all kinds of political shili to kill each other, so she has not cared about the accusation letter from Tong Kuang for a long time.

Now, the more important copper notices are directly transferred to the Three Law Divisions for processing, and now Wu Zetian is old and old, and he is too young to even deal with the chapters and chapters.

However, although the original purpose of her establishment of Tongkuang was to crack down on political opponents, it was not only cool officials and traitors who could use Tongkuang, everyone could submit a book, and in that process, she could also have some objective understanding of the people's hearts and opinions.

She didn't know that when she didn't think she needed the help of Tongkuang, there were already more officials with different intentions around her, including the eagle dog minions she had cultivated. Her ears and eyes have been completely closed, and all the sources of information for this old woman who is high above the palace can only be provided to her by these people with different hearts.

Zhezhu bowed and said: "Yes, this letter is from Miyagi." Because of two of them, Xiao Chen felt that he should take out this notice and report it to Bixia separately. ”

Wu Zetian was a little curious, and asked, "Which two points?" ”

Zhizhu said: "The first point is that the identity of the person who wrote this letter is only an official slave, and his age is less than ten years old, which is surprising to the minister. Again, the identity of the accused is extraordinary, so the minister thinks ...... It is not advisable to transfer to the three legal divisions. ”

Wu Zetian frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "Less than ten years old, and still an official slave?" What can underage children understand? As an official slave, the so-called accusation is nothing more than a complaint against the three legal divisions for unfair law enforcement and revenge for their father, brother and family who committed crimes. I don't look at it, he doesn't believe in my three law divisions, but I believe in it, let's go to the three law divisions to deal with it! ”

Zhezhu glanced at Li Zhaode quickly, Li Zhaode's eyes lowered slightly, Zhezhu mustered up his courage, and reported: "Bixia, Qi is strange here, this child is not for his father's and brother's family, but for several ministers who have been convicted of crimes. ”

Li Zhaode interjected: "Hehe, this is strange. Bixia, the old minister is also very curious about this less than ten years old naughty boy on the book, 'Uncle Nei' said so, bixia might as well take a look at it as a leisure and boring child, and the old minister also followed to see a lively .........,

Li Zhaode stroked his beard and smiled again: "I believe that if the three law divisions enforce the law strictly and are impeccable, they will not tarnish their reputation because of this accusation." ”

At this stage, the cooperation between Wu Zetian and Li Zhaode is in the honeymoon period, Wu Zetian has a little bit of obedience to his words, and when he saw Li Zhaode, he was also very interested, Wu Zetian reluctantly said: "In this case, take the letter of indictment, I will take a look!" ”

Xiao Hai took the secret letter from Zhezhu's hand and presented it to Wu Zetian with both hands. Wu Zetian took out the letter of complaint and only read half of it, her face changed, her face was cloudy for a long time, and she asked in a deep voice: "This little boy, now Sinong Temple is a slave?" ”

Oritake said: "Yes! ”

Wu Zetian said: "Bring him to see me!" ”

A flash of joy flashed in Zhizhu's eyes, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "Obey!" ”

Zhezhu bowed and retreated, Wu Zetian sighed slowly, handed the secret letter to Li Zhaodao, and said, "Zhaode, you can also come and see!" ”

Li Zhaode hurriedly got up, took the secret letter from Xiaohai's hand, and began to read it.

In fact, he already knew in advance the whole action of the official slave of Sinong Temple to sue the minister and avenge the minister's grievances, in order to ensure that Wu Zetian would definitely receive this little boy, he rushed to Wucheng Hall today to meet the Son of Heaven, just to give a response at any time.

This boy who has been told by the copper is the son of Prime Minister Le Sihui. Le Sihui, the prime minister, died very quickly. Wu Zetian changed the name of the year after he called the emperor, and the year has not yet passed twelve months, and it has become a new year.

As a result, after only half a year as prime minister, Le Sihui was executed for "rebellion", and it was Lai Junchen who handled the case. Prime Minister Le's family women were all put into the court as slaves, and his son, who had reached the age of fifteen, was also beheaded, and this youngest son was not old enough to be executed because he was still young, so he was filled into Sinong Temple as an official slave.

The result of Zhao Yu and the others' operation is to use this child to give Wu Zetian, who needs to solve this rebellion case, a decent step. Li Zhaode has nothing to do with the Hidden Sect, but when some officials found him and raised the matter in a roundabout way, Li Zhaode agreed to come down immediately.

Di Renjie, Ren Zhigu and others are the backbone of the Baoli faction, and they are in the same party as him, of course he wants to protect it, but he didn't find a suitable opportunity for a while, and now that he has this opportunity, of course he won't let it go; On the other hand, Li Zhaode especially hated those cool officials of the Three Law Divisions, even if there was no such thing as Di Renjie, Pei Sigu and others being unjustly imprisoned, he would spare no effort to crack down.

What's more, the existence of the cool officials is also a serious threat to him. The prime minister promoted by Wu Zetian before and after his accession to the throne, now he and Wu Chengsi have not been imprisoned, but as long as these cool officials are still there, his good luck will always run out.

Li Zhaode has found that in this series of incidents, one of the main reasons why he is safe and sound is because he has a violent temperament and likes to rush to get out of the way when he opposes cool officials.

At the beginning, Wang Qingzhi led the people of Beijing to petition, asking Yi Li Wu Chengsi to be the emperor's heir, and it was he who killed Wang Qingzhi with a rod, and then he played it secretly, so that Wu Zetian was removed from the post of prime minister of Wu Chenghe.

He is also the most unpretentious to the officials of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai, and now the three legal divisions are the largest in Yushitai, and he once served as Yushi Zuocheng, is the predecessor of Junchen, and now he is the prime minister, so that when the cool officials are rampant, everyone is afraid of the cool officials, only he has the most courage.

And this kind of open conflict between him and the cool officials made him hang in the emperor's heart, and even the emperor knew how bad his relationship with the officials of the Three Law Divisions was, which became his biggest protective umbrella. Because the cool officials know that there are three kinds of people that cannot be easily offended, because if this kind of person is offended, it is easy to cause trouble for himself. …,

One kind of person is a cool official who is more powerful than him, and this kind of person has more clever methods than him, and is easily counterattacked;

One type of person is someone whom the emperor trusts extremely well. The emphasis here is on trust, not reuse. The person entrusted with the important task by Wu Zetian must also be trusted by Wu Zetian, but the main basis is his ability, and he may not be the person Wu Zetian trusts the most.

The most valued and the most trusted are two different things, so the prime minister can be rectified, and people like Xue Huaiyi, Shangguan Wan'er, and Wei Tuan'er, who have a particularly close personal relationship with Wu Zetian, must stay away.

Zuihou is a person like Li Zhaode, who has a particularly bad relationship with the cool officials, but the cool officials did not bring him down at the beginning of his emergence, so that even the emperor knows the extent of the bad relationship between them. Such a person, if you want to rectify him, it is easy for the emperor to see that you are a communiqué personal vendetta.

Therefore, even Di Renjie's old fox was planted in the hands of Lai Junchen, and Li Zhaode was actively bypassed by the cool officials in the turmoil. Their idea of attacking people like Li Zhaode is to weaken and cut their wings, and they are unwilling to clash with him head-on unless they have to.

The things they concocted can't stand scrutiny, what if the emperor seriously investigates and finds out their problems because Li Zhaode is involved in the case? Therefore, they were easily reluctant to add Li Zhaode's name to the list of prisoners they had concocted. Li Zhaode is now a piece of stinking shit in the hearts of cool officials, and no one is willing to step on his official boots unless he has to.

However, this situation in favor of Li Zhaode will not last forever, now that he is the head of the prime minister, he is a big man, and if he wants to avoid those open guns and hidden arrows, from his personal interests, he also needs to cut off these cool officials. Because of this, he hit it off with those officials who wanted to launch a counteroffensive again and save Di Renjie and others from prison.

Soon, Le Sihui's son was brought in. Le Sihui's son is now an official slave in Sinong Temple, which is in charge of grain storage, warehouse management, and the distribution of Lu rice and Lu Lu of officials in the Beijing Dynasty, which is also within the imperial city, not far from the palace.

Wu Zetian looked at the nine-year-old boy kneeling in front of him, and said majestically: "You are Le Sihui's son?" Little baby, you reported that Lai Junchen was unfair in law enforcement and framed the minister, what evidence do you have? ”
