The atmosphere in the Lin De Hall became extremely solemn, and the Empress Wu Zetian was even more furious, and the case was struck!

"It's ridiculous, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, five court officials were killed, how can this be called my face? Do you have to wait until the murderer puts the knife on my neck before you can wake up? Wu Zetian reprimanded sharply!

His Majesty Dan's civil and military officials were all frightened, and they all knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "Please let Your Majesty calm your anger, it is the dereliction of duty of the ministers, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Wu Zetian's face was full of anger, and he reprimanded: "Cheng Jin, as the secretary of Dali Temple, it has been nearly two months since the murder of the county lord of Anle before, but you have no clues, and now there is such a bad murder case in Shendu, don't you feel ashamed of me?" ”

Although it was winter and the weather was cold, at this time, beads of sweat oozed from Cheng Jin's forehead, and he bowed down and said in fear: "Your Majesty is angry, the minister is responsible for Your Majesty, and the crime deserves death!" ”

Wu Zetian didn't speak, and looked at everyone under His Majesty Dan angrily, but in her angry heart, she thought of a person, a person that she would think of at such a moment, but this person is not above the court now, and he personally ordered his official position to be dismissed, Wu Zetian's heart couldn't help but have mixed feelings, and whispered to himself: "Old thing, did you really betray me?" ”

His Majesty Dan's civil and military officials didn't hear what Wu Zetian said, but the female officials beside Wu Zetian heard it clearly, and naturally knew who Wu Zetian was talking about!

The Ya Que in the Lin De Hall was silent, and there was a death-like silence, and Liang Wang Wu Sansi said: "Your Majesty, although Cheng Jin, the secretary of Dali Temple, has been delayed, but the repeated murders in Beijing are not the responsibility of Lord Cheng, and the five senior members of the court were killed, and the Dali Temple needs to be thoroughly investigated. ”

When Cheng Jin heard Wu Sansi's words, he couldn't help but glance secretly, his eyes were full of gratitude!

Prime Minister Zhang Cambodia secretly raised his eyes and looked at Wu Zetian, wanting to say something, but after thinking about it, he still gave up, Zhang Cambodia sighed silently in his heart, "Alas, it would be nice if Brother Huaiying was here!" ”

Wu Zetian saw that a group of officials thought about it, and the others were silent, and they were a little at a loss for a while, and after a while, Wu Zetian said: "Cheng Jin, you are the Dali Siqing, the Qiuguan prison is your business, and it is naturally your duty to solve the murder case of Shendu, since King Liang intercedes for you, I can give you another chance, this time the gods have lost five members in a row, and the government and the opposition are shaken, I order you to join forces with King Liang to quickly handle this case, if it is delayed, I will punish it severely!" ”

Wu Sansi and Cheng Jin said in unison: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

The early dynasty ended hastily, and the civil and military officials in the court withdrew from the Lin De Palace, and on the way back to the house, the hearts of the hundred officials were all overturned, especially the prime minister Zhang Cambodia, after the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhang Cambodia did not go back to the house directly, but went to the former prime minister Yao Chong's house!

Not long ago, Prime Minister Yao Chong asked Wu Zetian to resign on the grounds that his mother was seriously ill, although Wu Zetian was reluctant, but he was still removed from his post as prime minister, but he only left a post of prime minister's mansion governor, still leading Yulu, but he did not participate in political affairs, and allowed him to take care of his mother wholeheartedly!

The hundred officials dispersed, but Wu Zetian left Wu Sansi behind, and drank back left and right, Wu Zetian said: "King Liang, are you guilty?" ”

Wu Sansi immediately panicked and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know what he has done, please make it clear to Your Majesty!" "Wu Sansi kowtowed!

Wu Zetian sneered: "Good King Liang, don't tell the truth in front of me? Do you dare to say that Chen Ziqing, Quxing's death has nothing to do with you? You think I don't know? Several of them have never been on good terms with you, and above the court, I really can't imagine anyone else who would have such courage! ”

Wu Sansi kowtowed again and again, and even shed tears, and whimpered: "Your Majesty, is the minister really wronged?" Please Your Majesty, the minister knows, there are some rumors about the minister in the court, saying that the minister is not in harmony with several adults, but Your Majesty, the minister knows that everything should be based on the society of the country, how can personal grievances be misunderstood? Your Majesty is discerning? ”

Wu Zetian saw Wu Sansi crying bitterly, and couldn't help but be quite moved, waved his hand and said: "Okay, manly man, what kind of body is crying, get up and speak!" ”

Wu Sansi slowly stood up, wiped the tears on his face, and said, "Your Majesty! ”

Wu Zetian said coldly: "The murder of these five people really has nothing to do with you?" ”

Wu Sansi bowed and said: "Your Majesty is clear, the minister is willing to swear in front of His Majesty, this case has nothing to do with the minister, it is because the court has always rumored that I am not on good terms with several ministers, so the minister recommended himself to assist Dali Temple to investigate the case thoroughly, in order to prove the innocence of the minister, of course, the minister is not completely selfless in doing this, the minister is worried that there will be some people with ulterior motives to take this opportunity to fabricate charges and wronged the minister, so the minister took the initiative to ask for help!" ”

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "King Liang's move is reasonable, but the assassination of five court officials overnight is indeed too unbelievable!" King Liang, do you have any thoughts? ”

Wu Sansi pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the minister hasn't seen the scene yet, too."

Without detailed investigation, it is inconvenient to express opinions at this time, but after the minister's investigation, he will definitely give His Majesty an explanation! ”

Wu Zetian nodded and said: "King Liang, you are my nephew, your words and deeds are my shadow, don't make too many enemies in the court, if one day you make it difficult for me to choose, you know the consequences!" ”

Wu Sansi naturally knows the deep meaning of Wu Zetian's words very well, not to mention his nephew, it was Prince Zhang Huai back then, that was Wu Zetian's biological son, wasn't he still forced to die by Wu Zetian, Wu Sansi has been around the emperor for many years, and he knows the risk of accompanying the king like a tiger, and he is naturally much more sleek and sophisticated than others!

"Your Majesty, the minister must follow His Majesty's teachings!" Wu Sansi Shi Li said!

"Okay, you can do it yourself!" As he spoke, Wu Zetian waved his hand!

Wu Sansi gave a deep salute and said, "The minister retires!" ”

On Yao Chong's house, Zhang Cambodia told Yao Chong about the murder case and what happened in the court one by one, Yao Chong listened to Zhang Cambodia's story, and couldn't help frowning deeply!

After being silent for a long time, Yao Chong said: "This case is quite weird and bizarre, if only Brother Huaiying was here!" I don't have to worry so much about it! ”

Zhang Khan Zhizhi: "What Yuan Zhi said is extremely true! I don't think so, but now that Brother Huaiying is too busy to take care of himself, how can he manage this matter of the gods, and even if we want to tell him about it, where can we find him? ”

Yao Chongdao: "Brother Cambodia, don't you think that these killed officials are all related to Liang Wang's party?" ”

Zhang Cambodia nodded slightly, and said: "I also have a faint feeling of this, but there is one thing I can't figure out, why did King Liang get rid of these people so frantically?" If there are these five people in the joint impeachment of King Liang, I think it is normal, but there are no these five people in the joint letter? Besides, King Liang took the initiative to ask Ying to investigate the case this time, isn't he afraid of being suspected of being a thief and shouting to catch a thief? ”

Yao Chong was silent for a long time, and then said: "Brother Cambodia, I'm afraid there is another secret in this matter, this King Liang has always been on the scene when he encounters benefits, and he hides when he encounters trouble, this time he is so active that there must be a ghost!" I think we should also investigate this case secretly, of course, we still have to find Di Ge Lao as soon as possible and inform him of this matter! ”

Zhang Cambodia nodded and said, "Okay!" Brother Huaiying asked me to trust me when he was leaving, but I am afraid that I will disappoint him this time! ”

Yao Chong waved his hand and said, "Brother Cambodia, don't blame yourself, I believe that after Elder Di Ge escapes, he will definitely contact us!" ”
