On the Wucheng Palace, Lai Junchen stood respectfully, first presented the confessions of the prime ministers, and after Wu Zetian read it, he was silent for a long time, and asked in a low voice: "Prime ministers...... All confessed? ”

Lai Junchen said loudly: "Yes, the facts are there, the evidence is conclusive, how can they refute it?" The prime ministers are all smart men, and as soon as they are arrested, they know that the tide is over, and even if they delay for a while, it will not help them get rid of their crimes, so they confess to the crimes they have committed! ”

Wu Zetian pointed to the confession and said suspiciously: "Why is there only such a sentence as 'contrary to the truth'?" There is no list of comrades, and there is no details of the rebellion? ”

Lai Junchen's heart tightened, and he hurriedly pretended to say calmly: "Bixia, the prime ministers are in the emperor's grace, but they have failed to Bixia, and now the matter is revealed, and it is difficult to be ashamed, so the ministers only tried for the first time, and they bowed their heads and confessed that the matter has come to this, and the prime ministers only want to die quickly, what else can they say." After all, they are the prime ministers of the country, and the ministers are not good at persecuting too much. But ......"

Lai Junchen secretly glanced at Wu Zetian, saw that she was fascinated by what she heard, and said: "Prisoners, it's all like this, at the beginning, most of them still have some thoughts to take responsibility and protect others, not to mention that these people are prime ministers, under one person, above ten thousand, and the arrogance cultivated over the years, how can they easily confess everything." However, as long as they admit their guilt, this heart defense will be opened, although Bixia can rest assured, the minister will lock them up for a few days, boil their minds, and then interrogate them in time, and they will definitely be able to confess all the charges. ”

Wu Zetian nodded, and said with a gloomy face: "You must find out who their comrades are, I don't want to have a group of white-eyed wolves around." Maybe when, I'll take a bite! ”

Lai Junchen licked his lips and said, "Yes, the minister does things, Bixia can rest assured." Bixia, please see, Si Liqing Pei Xuanli, and Feng Pavilion Sheren Lu Xian are not as difficult as these prime ministers, they have already confessed some of their comrades! He said. Lai Junchen handed over another confession.

"Hmmm......"

Wu Zetian looked at the names of those people that Lai Junchen deliberately circled on the confession, and the corners of his mouth gradually showed a cold smile: "Dongguan Shangshu Li Youdao, Qiuguan Shangshu Yuan Zhihong, Si Binqing Cui Shenji ......, hehe." These are all people who I have reused since I ascended the throne! ”

Lai Junchen hurriedly said: "Bixia candles shine thousands of miles, shining the world, in front of Bixia's pair of wisdom." There is nothing to hide from any traitor. It's just that these people are clever and eloquent, and they are the best at covering up, bixia has all the opportunities, how can they have the leisure to investigate them one by one, which is why they have taken advantage of the loopholes, and now they have not been recognized by bixia? ”

Wu Zetian smiled slightly and said, "You, don't slap my ass." I only have a pair of eyes, how can I see the hearts of people in the world. Now, you are the eyes and ears that I put next to Baiguan. You're doing a great job! ”

Lai Junchen was sincerely frightened, and hurriedly bowed down, and thanked: "The minister is blessed with bixia Hongen, and he came to the imperial history Zhongcheng with a cloth cloth, and is trusted by bixia." Entrusted with the important task of supervising hundreds of officials, the minister is willing to do his best for Bixia, and he will die! ”

Wu Zetian said lightly: "Get up, you don't have to kneel down at every turn!" Arrest all these people and examine them one by one. But there are still many ghosts and ghosts, and I want to sweep them away and clear my court! ”

"Whoa!"

Wu Zetian looked at the presiding officer named at the bottom of the confession and said, "Is it the chief judge of Pei Xuanli who serves the imperial Shi Lai Zixun?" ”

Lai Zixun is Lai Junchen's cousin, both families live in Zhuque Street, Chang'an City, and grew up playing together, they are a pair of bad embryos that are very compatible. However, because Chang'an City is bounded by Zhuque Street, the east is under the jurisdiction of Wannian County, and the west is under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County. …,

After coming to Junchen to make a career, he needed a large number of cronies, so he naturally brought this cousin who grew up together since childhood as his confidant. As soon as he heard what Wu Zetian said, Lai Junchen hurriedly said: "Yes, Pei Xuanli didn't tell the truth, it was Lai Zixun who followed the good temptation and used the Junchen Avenue to influence him, so that he repented and confessed to the crime." ”

Wu Zetian bowed his head and said: "Well, Lai Zixun is a capable official, and he is now serving the imperial history?" Promote him to be an overseer of the imperial history! ”

Lai Junchen hurriedly said: "The minister came to Zixun to thank Bixia Longen!" Bixia, there is also a confession from Lu Xian, a member of the Fengge House! ”

Wu Zetian took Lu Xian's confession again, and after only a few glances, his face became gloomy, and Pei Xuanli's confession was confessed to officials in Beijing, and Lu Xian's confession was much more complicated.

Lu Xian mourned for his father, Ding Wei was worried for 27 months, and now Ding Wei has just returned to Beijing after the expiration of his term, and it has been less than ten days since he arrived in Beijing, so he has such a thing. The changes in Beijing in the past two years are too great, the officials have gone back and forth, up and down, and Lu Xian really doesn't know much about such frequent changes.

If he were to confess to the officials of the court, he would be too familiar with the situation in Kyori to extract a convincing confession. So, under severe punishment, in addition to being induced by the cool officials, he recruited some opponents that the cool officials wanted to get rid of, in order to avoid the pain, Lu Xian had to recruit some close friends and officialdom colleagues who were very close to him.

He recruited the same year Jinshi Yushi Renzhi and the internal servant steward Fan Yunxian who he met when he was in Fengge as his comrades, and was also induced by Wei Suizhong to recruit the secretary and young eunuch Li Xun and the leading lieutenant Zhu Bin, and the other two were Li Sizhen, the assassin of Luzhou, who had a close personal relationship with him, and Shi Renlinghui, the governor of Yizhou.

Among these people, Wu Zetian cares most about Zhu Bin and Fan Yunxian.

Although the commander is not the main general in charge of the guard in the palace, but after all, he has hundreds of big-horned hands in his hands, responsible for the ceremonial duty and honor guard reading of the general post, if he is an accomplice of the traitorous party and is in the palace, this is a force that cannot be ignored, fortunately they found out their conspiracy in advance, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable.

There is also Fan Yunxian, the steward of the inner palace, who originally served the first emperor, and now although Wei Tuan'er is in charge of everything in the inner palace, Fan Yunxian is no longer in charge of things, but he still has a certain amount of shili in the palace after all, if the rebels enter the palace, he will do the internal response, open the palace door to lead the rebels in, I am afraid that he will be turned upside down in his sleep.

and Luzhou Assassin Shi Li Sizhen, Yizhou Governor Shi Ren Linghui. This is clearly their comradeship in the development of various state capitals outside the capital. The secret letter said that once the palace was successful, there would be local officials echoing from afar to build momentum for the crown prince's ascension to the throne, and if it failed, the prime ministers and generals who conspired with the emperor would protect the prince and escape from the capital and set up a separate court.

It seems to be exactly what it says! If the three prime ministers are allowed to keep the crown prince and flee to the local area, they will set up another court. Then this turmoil is definitely ten times greater than the impact of Xu Jingye's rebellion back then, after all, they have Li Tang's crown prince in their hands. If you don't notice it in advance and they mutiny......

The more Wu Zetian thought about it, the more scared he became. After watching it for a long time, he said in a deep tone: "Arrest these people and interrogate them strictly!" ”

"Whoa!"

Wu Zetian looked at the name and surname of the judge again. said: "Wei Suizhong is a deacon of the Taiwan Academy? Well! Wei Suizhong has meritorious service in eliminating traitors, and he will be promoted to serve the imperial history! ”

Lai Junchen raised his eyebrows, bowed down and said, "Thank you Bixia!" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the past few days, people in the court have been arrested, and more and more traitorous accomplices have been dug up.

For the sake of prudence, Wu Zetian's accommodation would change places every night, except for the two cronies of the hundred cavalry and the internal guards, no one knew which palace the emperor would stay in that night. …,

The armed forces responsible for guarding the palace are also adjusted daily, except for several armed forces under the personal command of Wu Youyi and Wu Youji, who control several key points in the palace such as Xuanwu Gate and Duanmen, other armed forces will change their guards every day.

The generals of the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Ya have completed the mutual transfer. Long Wuwei's main general will be transferred to Jin Wuwei, Jin Wuwei's main general will be transferred to Houwei, Houwei's main general will be transferred to lead the guard, and the leading guard will be transferred to Xiaowei, Wu Zetian passed this unconventional emergency rotation. Separate the generals from their subordinates, so that the soldiers do not know the generals and the generals do not know the soldiers, so as to cope with the current dangerous situation.

The Zuo Yu Lin Wei led by Yang Fan belongs to the Sixth Guard of the Northern Ya, which is Wu Zetian's most trusted cronies, and has been in charge of guarding in the palace for the past few days, despite this. Wu Youyi will also adjust the area he is responsible for guarding three times a day, this is to prevent the armed forces on guard in the palace from also rebelling against the party, and if they stick to one place for too long, they will collude with foreign enemies.

It wasn't until three days later that Li Duozuo, the general of the right guard of Yulin, was ordered by Wu Youyi to lead the right Yulin guard into the palace to exchange guards with the left Yulin guard, and Yang Fan was able to leave the palace.

Yang Fan can't stay at home for a long time, at this critical moment, he must stay in the army and be on call at any time, but because his home is in Luoyang City, and his relationship with Yehuli is extraordinary, so he asked for a leave, but he just went home to see and give a few instructions, so as not to worry about the family, and he must go back to the barracks to report before evening.

Yang Fan made a deal with the defense, and was about to leave the palace from the left gate, when he suddenly saw a group of officers and soldiers and the deacons of the Yushitai walking over menacingly.

One of them was nearly sixty years old, with a full head of gorgeous hair, a thin face full of wrinkles, and a beard under his chin, and he looked like a eunuch of good rank. Yang Fan had met him a few times, but had never talked to him, so he didn't know his name and surname. However, another person, Yang Fan, recognized it, and after just one glance, Yang Fan was taken aback. This person turned out to be Zhu Bin, the commander of the pilot.

"I'm not guilty! I'm not guilty! You bastards, even my father-in-law Fan dares to frame it! Do you know who your husband is? My husband is the one who has waited for Emperor Gaozong! I think that at the beginning, when Emperor Gaozong was still a little prince, my husband accompanied him to study and wait for the prince.

Later, the prince became the prince, and her husband was the chief steward of the imperial palace. Do you dare to catch your husband? My husband served the emperor and worked hard! When today's son used to be a monk in the Ganye Temple, or her husband went to the Ganye Temple to bring her back to the palace at the behest of the emperor, and her husband has no merit and hard work for so many years, and her husband ......"

"Bang Bang!"

A royal servant jumped up, rounded him and gave him a few big mouths, which made the "husband's" cheeks red and swollen, like a monkey, and a few teeth that could not be left in his mouth also fell out, and his mouth was full of blood foam, and he babbled so that he could no longer get up with his "husband".

Zhu Bin was tied up with flowers, shackles, and his expression was extremely awkward, and his face turned pale when he saw that Fan husband being beaten. Yang Fan was also secretly surprised when he saw it: "Someone in the palace has been arrested again, even the eunuch and Zhu Bin are implicated, looking at this situation, is there really a plan for a mutiny?" ”

Zhu Bin blink of an eye saw Yang Fan standing on the edge of the royal road, and couldn't help but show a smile that was more ugly than crying.

"Let's go! What to delay! ”

Zhu Bin's feet were just slow, and a deacon of the Imperial Historical Observatory stabbed him in the back shoulder with a wind and fire stick, Zhu Bin was in pain and did not dare to stay, so he was escorted away by a group of deacons and officers and soldiers in a hurry.

Yang Fan looked at their backs in a daze, and secretly said in his heart: "It's a big trouble now!" It is still unknown whether Di Gong and they really have plans to launch a mutiny, but this time the situation is very different from the last time the prime ministers fought with Wu Chenghe, and now that the emperor is all soldiers, I am afraid that Princess Taiping will not easily intervene. …,

If these officials who are unwilling to talk to the Wu clan can be swept away, it will be a great thing for Wu Sansi, and it will be good if he does not add fuel to the fire, and he will never intervene to stop it. What's more, if Di Gong and the others did not have the intention of rebellion, maybe he single-handedly contributed to this matter, and this person could not use it.

Shen Mu is not in Luoyang now, even if he is, he may not have the ability to intervene in such a major event, his hidden sect has always focused on operating in the Western Regions, and he is afraid that his hand will not be able to stretch so long. Moreover, after all, he is a representative sent by the gate valve family, and the ultimate goal is for the benefit of these families.

As long as the development of the general trend of the imperial court is in their interests, these gate valve families who hide Liliang under the Nine Lands will be fine, and it is impossible for them to go into battle shirtless and directly participate in the battle of the imperial court.

What's more, Shen Mu and Di Gong are thick, and they are only a temporary alliance reached because of common interests, such a change in the DPRK and China can't lose his liliang, even if he is there, and has the ability to intervene, now that the situation is unclear, he may not be willing to wade into this troubled water, what should I do?

Seriously speaking, I am a person on Shen Mu's side, so many important people in the DPRK have suffered from it, and those who can intervene are all waiting, what can I do with Yang Fan? Don't...... Really according to what Wan'er said, stay out of the matter and protect yourself? ”

Yang Fan thought about it, but he couldn't help but sigh a long way.

But he did not know that when people sit at home, disaster will come from heaven, and even if he does not want to participate in it, he will soon be caught in it.

Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi, Princess Taiping and other parties would never have thought that just because Lai Junchen coveted his wife, he easily pulled Yang Fan into this political whirlpool that swallowed countless big shots, adding the biggest variable to this turmoil, not only this already doomed ending will be changed because of this, but even in the battle for deer in the next few years, there is also an unpredictable variable.

Although the scale is small, it weighs thousands of pounds!
