After the morning of the second day, Wu Zetian came to Wucheng Palace, and Shangguan Wan'er served her a bowl of her favorite mash, so she stepped aside lightly, for fear of touching her moldy head

There are two people in the hall, one is Xue Lingxue in the household department, and the other is Gao Yanli, a member of the Ministry of Works, the two of them have been waiting here before the end of the early dynasty, Shangguan Wan'er already knows their intentions, so she is naturally extra careful.

Sure enough, as soon as Wu Zetian heard the two explain their intentions, his face immediately became gloomy.

The two people were exposed.

Wu Zetian originally liked to hear from people the most, so she also specially set up a "copper box" to accept whistleblowers. She even issued an edict, ordering Tianxia prefectures and counties that if anyone enters Beijing to inform, they must provide the informant with the accommodation and food treatment of a stagecoach and a five-rank official, and send him to Beijing to inform, and the local officials are not allowed to interrogate the content of the informant. If the whistleblower is true, a reward will be given, and if the whistleblower is not true, it will not be pursued.

But today, these two people told the informant, and Wu Zetian really couldn't be happy. Because these two people exposed not only Wu Zetian's relatives, but also several confidants that Wu Zetian trusted and relied on very much.

The people reported by Xue Lingxue and Gao Yanli were the two brothers Zong Qinke and Zong Chuke, their cousin Zong Jinqing, and Fu Youyi, who had made great contributions when Wu Zetian ascended the throne.

Zong Qinke is the Fengge squire and internal history, Zong Chuke is the household servant, Zong Jinqing is the master craftsman, and although Fu Youyi has now been removed from the post of prime minister, he is now the master of ceremonies and is also an important official in the Ministry of Rites.

Xue Lingxue and Gao Yanli provided conclusive evidence such as account books. Accuse the three brothers of Zong Qinke and Fu Youyi and others of being corrupt and bending the law and accepting bribes. Greedy for public funds, selling official beards. Even in the process of building the Seven Temples of the Wu Clan, he cut corners and was greedy for ink.

Zong Qinke is a Fengge squire and internal history, and he has this condition if he wants to sell his official beard. Zong Chuke is a household servant, Zong Jinqing is a master craftsman, they can intervene in the construction of palaces, temples, and mausoleums, and these buildings must pass the Ministry of Rites when they are accepted in terms of regulations, decoration, specifications, materials, etc. Therefore, Fu Youyi, the celebrant Shaoqing, can also completely intervene.

Xue Lingxue and Gao Yanli were naturally instructed by the prime ministers, but the evidence they presented was also conclusive. The prime ministers have long had this evidence, and the reason why they didn't come out early is because it can hit political opponents. But it can't play a role in making the opponent hurt his muscles and bones, or even completely defeated, so he has not used it, so as not to fight rashly without full preparation.

Now, Wu Chengsi is aggressive, and they have to return the color.

Wu Zetian is really sad, of course she understands the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish, and she also knows how to "see what you don't see, don't hear what you know, and raise great virtues." forgive small mistakes, and do not seek the righteousness of one person", she never wanted to demand that her imperial officials be honest and honest like saints.

However, what the three brothers of Zong Qinke and Fu Youyi did was too much, selling the official mantle! So what kind of people will the imperial court appoint? Even the construction of the Seven Temples of the Wu Clan dared to cut corners, so what else did they dare not covet?

Now this world is her Wu Zetian's world, she wants to make her dynasty eternal, she wants to create a prosperous heavenly dynasty that belongs to her Wu Zetian, and what these corrupt officials do. It's ruining her dynasty's cause.

Thinking of this, Wu Zetian's eyebrows raised slightly. Just raised her eyebrows, and her face, which originally looked very peaceful and graceful like a Buddha, was filled with a faint murderous aura.

Wu Zetian grabbed the red pen, the tip of the pen was like a blade, and he hovered on the paper for a while, and then the pen walked and began to write. After a while, a holy decree was written, and Wu Zetian said to Shangguan Wan'er: "Add a seal, send it to the Imperial Historical Observatory, and call Junchen to handle it as soon as possible!" ”…,

Shangguan Wan'er agreed, and glanced at Xiao Hai, Xiao Hai immediately took the jade seal, Shangguan Wan'er took the opportunity to take a look at the holy decree, and looked at Wu Zetian's words and sentences, knowing that the three brothers of the Zong family might be able to save a life, and Fu Youyi, who was promoted because of the persuasion, must be finished.

The so-called re-investigation of Lai Junchen is just a procedure in accordance with the law, and the fate of these people has been decided in the holy decree, and a person like Lai Junchen, who is good at perceiving the holy will, will "find" the required evidence according to the punishment that the emperor wants to give.

For the sake of her eternal inheritance, Wu Zetian is determined to kill her relatives and punish these subjects who violate the laws of the Great Zhou, but she may never realize that she herself is doing things that violate the laws of the Great Zhou.

Xue Lingxue and Gao Yanli saw that Wu Zetian had already made a decision, so they bowed down and retreated. Wu Zetian leaned back in his chair tiredly and closed his eyes gloomily. When Wan'er saw it, she hurriedly walked behind her, stretched out her slender ten fingers, and gently massaged her shoulders. She found that Wu Zetian's sideburns had turned into a piece of silver frost, and she couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in her heart.

Although Wan'er's grandfather and father were both executed by Wu Zetian, as a person who believed in the supremacy of monarchy, she could not develop hostility towards Wu Zetian. Moreover, her grandfather and father died when she was still an infant baby, and she had little affection for them.

On the contrary, she has a special feeling for Wu Zetian, who has been with her day and night since she was fourteen years old, which is like both admiration for her mother and awe of her strict father. Now, she found that although Wu Zetian spent a lot of time every day and consumed countless heavenly treasures to maintain her body, her years were still passing away day by day......

"Wan'er ......"

"What?" Wan'er was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

Wu Zetian sighed and muttered dreamily: "I ...... I will not tolerate anyone destroying the empire I have built! However, there are always people I trust and reuse who try to destroy it, and ...... you say, who can I trust? ”

Wan'er gently pressed Wu Zetian's shoulders, thought seriously for a long time, and was about to avoid this question tactfully, but found that Wu Zetian was snoring slightly, and she fell asleep......

Lai Junchen's efficiency is higher than Zhou Xing's. Early the next morning. He reported the results of the trial to Wu Zetian: Zong Qinke, Zong Chuke, and Zong Jinqing joined forces to embezzle the money for the construction of the palace, and the evidence of the crime was conclusive. A large amount of stolen goods were found from the houses of the three people, and the three men confessed to the crime they had committed and respectfully asked for a holy judgment.

Wu Zetianxia edict. Zong Qinke was demoted to Zunhua County Lieutenant, and Zong Chuke and Zong Jinqing were exiled to Lingnan.

Wu Zetian gave a will, and Lai Junchen immediately took out another piece of music from his sleeve, saying that it was the master of ceremonies, Shaoqing Fu Youyi, who dreamed that he climbed the Zhanlu Hall and sat on the dragon chair, put on the dragon robe, and was worshiped by hundreds of officials. When he woke up, he was complacent and told his relatives what he had seen in his dream.

His relatives understood the righteousness and went to the Yushitai to report him, and came to Junchen to lock Fu Youyi in prison for interrogation. Fu Youyi confessed to his ambitions and committed suicide in fear of crime. Wu Zexia decreed that once a person is dead, no additional charges will be added. Fu Youyi's family understands the righteousness, and the complaint is meritorious, and will not be investigated!

Fu Youyi died so inexplicably. More than a year ago, because he took the lead in persuading, he was promoted all the way from a petty official of the lower six grades, ascended to the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and was extremely popular and promoted. Known as the "Four Seasons Eunuch", more than a year later, he "committed suicide" in prison because he "had a dream".

From ascension to death, Fu Youyi's fantastic experience doesn't look like a dream?

Zong Qinke, Fu Youyi and others are now all members of Wu Chenghe's party, and their flying misfortune is clearly the counterattack of the prime ministers. Fu Youyi "committed suicide", Zong Qinke was demoted to a small county lieutenant, and Zong Chuke and Zong Jinqing were exiled to Lingnan. A series of powerful counterattacks made the officials of the non-Wu clan raise their eyebrows. …,

But Wu Chengsi was unwilling to give up, and immediately instructed Zhou Xing to repeat his old tricks, and soon got a new confession from Wei Fangzhen, confessing that Prime Minister Cen Changqian was his comrade. This time, Zhou Xing learned the lesson of the failure to bite Su Liangsi last time, and as soon as he got the confession, he immediately searched Cen Changqian's mansion, and found more than 100 pairs of armor, hundreds of spears, and dozens of crossbows.

Cen Changqian is not only the prime minister, but also has a military rank. He served as the secretary of the military department for a long time, and until now he has the rank of auxiliary general. Cen Wenqian is the nephew of Cen Wenwen, the prime minister of the Taizong Dynasty, the uncle and nephew of the two generations of prime ministers, with a wide range of contacts, many people, and both civil and military positions, as soon as he heard that he was Wei Fangzhen's comrade, Wu Zetian was very nervous, and immediately ordered Zhou Xing to step up the investigation, and strengthened the defense of the capital.

After Cen Wenqian was imprisoned, as soon as she saw the strange torture tools that made her soul scatter, she knew that she couldn't withstand the torture of these torture tools with her own flesh and blood.

Wu Zetian was furious when he heard the news, and ordered to dig up the tombs of his father and ancestors, exposing the bones of his father and ancestors in the wilderness. Cen Lingyuan was punished, so he confessed to some ministers indiscriminately, and for a while, dozens of ministers such as Si Liqing Ouyang Tong and the right imperial envoy Zhongcheng Ge Fuyuan were all imprisoned for treason.

Not to be outdone, the prime ministers used the illegal evidence of the other party's officials in their possession to impeach them continuously, and the officialdom, which had been in a peaceful atmosphere, was stirred up into a miasma. Wu Zetian originally thought that after she ascended the throne, she was politically clear and all officials were honest, but she didn't expect the rebellion and corruption of the rebellion.

For a time, Luoyang City was bloody and rainy, and several abandoned cities that had been deserted for a long time since Wu Zetian ascended the throne were once again in the city, and officials who were escorted to the execution ground were executed every day. At this time, it is already a hot summer, but for many people, every day is as cold as ice.

The decisive battle between the prime ministers and Wu Chenghei, Yang Fan saw it in his eyes and was anxious, he knew that if he wanted to stop all this, the only way was to intervene in the third force. The best candidate for this third-party Liliang is naturally Wu Sansi, as long as he is willing to make a move, he can not only change the current situation, but also deal a heavy blow to Wu Chengsi.

However, Wu Sansi is very satisfied with the current situation, in order to prevent the third party Shili from joining the other party's camp, the two sides of the duel tried their best to avoid involving the officials belonging to the third-party Shili group in the fight.

Shen Mu was fighting with Jiang Gongzi in Chang'an at this time, Wu Sansi did not move, and Yang Fan had no choice but to go to Princess Taiping. Right now, if there is anyone who can stop this tragic battle, it is only this flower of Luoyang!
