Chapter 248: The Empress is not simple
When Wu Zetian heard what Cheng Jin said, he stood up, stood on top of His Majesty, and asked, "Cheng Qing, has the murder case been solved?" ”
Cheng Jin bowed and said: "Your Majesty, after many days of unremitting efforts, Dali Temple finally found the traces of the gangsters, and tonight night, it was surrounded in a house in the Shendu, but the gangsters were very stubborn, desperately resisted, Weichen had no choice but to order a strong attack, the five gangsters were finally killed on the spot, the scene was seized by the gangsters The weapons carried by the gangsters were examined by the Dali Temple, and it was the murder weapon that assassinated the five ministers!" ”
Wu Zetian frowned slightly, and said coldly: "What? All dead? ”
Cheng Jin bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Wechen also wants to capture the five people, but these five people are strong in martial arts, Wechen has dozens of dead and wounded soldiers, but they still failed to capture, in order to avoid further casualties, Wechen had to order the arrows, Wechen failed to capture the villains alive, and please punish Your Majesty!" ”
Wu Zetian pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Cheng Qing is also to reduce casualties, so why is there any crime?" The five ministers died innocently in vain, and now the villains are ambushed, which can be regarded as a consolation for the deceased, and tomorrow morning, I will reward Cheng Qing in front of the ministers, Cheng Qing has worked hard! ”
Cheng Jin was flattered, and immediately knelt on the ground, shouting: "Weichen Xie Your Majesty Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Okay, Cheng Qing go back and rest!" ”
Cheng Jin retreated and left the Guanfeng Palace, and after Cheng Jin left, Wu Zetian's face flashed with an unpredictable strange color!
After the morning of the next day, the civil and military officials gathered in the Linde Palace, Wu Zetian really did not break his promise, and announced in public the reward for Cheng Jin, the secretary of Dali Temple, the hundred officials had their own thoughts, Cheng Jin was full of joy, after the early dynasty dispersed, Wu Zetian left the prime minister Zhang Khan Zhi!
Wu Zetian opened his mouth and said: "Cambodia, is there any news from Huaiying when you come in?" ”
Zhang Cambodia was slightly stunned, bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, since the last time Elder Di Ge sent a letter for His Majesty, no documents have been sent to Zhongshu Province!" ”
Wu Zetian's face sank and said: "Cambodia, you know that this is not what I asked!" ”
Zhang Cambodia's face showed a hint of panic, and hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty, Weichen is foolish, I don't know what Your Majesty means?" ”
Wu Zetian sneered: "Do you think I don't know that you and Huaiying have always been in contact? The reason why I didn't break it was because you didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but I didn't
Broken doesn't mean I don't know anything, so you'd better not play these tricks in front of me! ”
Zhang Cambodia couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed down, and said in fear: "Your Majesty, for the crime of Weichen, please punish Your Majesty!" However, Your Majesty Mingjian, Di Ge Lao has indeed not exchanged letters with Weichen recently! ”
Wu Zetian waved his hand and said, "Get up, if I really have the heart to punish you, you won't be here!" ”
Zhang Cambodia slowly stood up, couldn't help but be afraid in his heart, and stood respectfully under His Majesty Dan!
Wu Zetian continued: "Cambodia, Huaiying should return to Shuozhou at this time, right? It seems that the case of the great general Liu Maoyuan is very tricky, and Cambodia can remind Huaiying that the deadline set by the holy decree is approaching! ”
Zhang Cambodia thought for a moment, bowed down and said, "Weichen obeys the order!" ”
Wu Zetian got up and came to His Majesty Dan and walked in front of Zhang Cambodia, Zhang Cambodia couldn't help but be even more frightened, and hurriedly bowed respectfully!
Wu Zetian said: "Cambodia, the Turks will send envoys to the court in the near future, Huaiying is not there, and the pavilion and the six departments and nine secretaries will be greeted by you and hundreds of officials!" ”
Zhang Cambodia was slightly stunned, and said in fear: "Weichen thank Your Majesty for your grace!" However, Your Majesty, if according to the old system of our dynasty, the pavilion and the six departments and nine kings should be headed by the prince to greet the mission, not to mention, isn't the Turkic envoy also led by the Turkic prince? If Weichen is the leader, I'm afraid there will be a suspicion of trespassing? ”
Wu Zetian showed a trace of displeasure on his face, paused and said: "I have made up my mind, just do it!" ”
Zhang Cambodia bowed to each other, although he was a little anxious in his heart, but he still said in his mouth to obey the order!
Back in the mansion, Zhang Cambodia still had palpitations, thinking of what the emperor said to him today, his heart was terrified, he never thought that he exchanged letters with Di Renjie, thinking that he was unaware of ghosts, but the emperor knew everything about it, which couldn't help but make Zhang Cambodia even more jealous of His Majesty's methods!
Soon, Zhang Cambodia wrote a letter, the words in the letter were sincere, but there was no mention of some sensitive matters between the words, because Zhang Cambodia is now very clear that the content of this letter is afraid that it still can't escape Wu Zetian's eyes!
The holy decree has been in Shuozhou for many days, and Yao Wenyuan, the assassin of Shuozhou, has been in a panic since the day he received the holy decree, after all, it was he who personally led people to check the Qin Mission, Yao Wenyuan was glad that he did not do things too much
Absolutely, there is no embarrassment for the others in the garden, which also leaves enough room for mediation in front of Di Renjie!
Chang Ping, Chang An, Qin Hu, and Qin Leopard have not left Shuozhou, Di Renjie's sudden disappearance overwhelmed them, and they didn't know whether to return to Shendu or look for Di Renjie, in the end, Chang Ping decided that before getting the news of Di Renjie, the four of them would stay in Shuozhou and not go anywhere!
After receiving the holy decree, a dark cloud in the hearts of the four of them immediately dispersed, and they were all happy in their hearts, not only because Di Renjie was reinstated, but more importantly, they knew that Di Ge Lao was safe and sound, but soon they were a little anxious, although they learned that Di Renjie was in Turkic, but they did not see him return to Shuozhou for a long time, and the four of them wanted to go to the Turks to find it in person, but they were afraid that they would miss it with Di Renjie and others, and they fell into anxiety for a while!
Since the emperor ordered Di Renjie to be reinstated, Yao Wenyuan, the assassin Shi Yao Wenyuan, has to come to Suiyuan almost every day, for fear that after Di Renjie comes back, he will not be able to come to ask for the crime as soon as possible, but every time he comes, he will inevitably be ridiculed by Chang Ping, although Yao Wenyuan is a noble assassin and a feudal official, he has been ridiculed by Chang Ping several times and does not dare to refute, after all, the four of them are Qianniuwei, but the garrison of the Son of Heaven, and the four of them are now the guards of Qincha Di Renjie, this Yao Wenyuan has to swallow his anger!
Finally, in the anxious waiting of everyone, Di Renjie returned to Shuozhou, Di Renjie entered the city, thinking of how embarrassed it was to flee in a hurry, and now he has returned again, he can't help but sigh!
Almost at the same time as Di Renjie arrived in Shuozhou, as well as Zhang Cambodia's letter, after Di Renjie finished reading it, he hurriedly drafted a note, in the name of the Qin Cha, the Son of Heaven, the story of Liu Maoyuan to the emperor one by one, and also stated his next plan!
After Wu Zetian read it, he couldn't help but be surprised, especially when he saw Liu Maoyuan disappear again, Wu Zetian felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, and immediately replied to Di Renjie, don't be subject to the time limit of the holy decree, you must find Liu Maoyuan, Wu Zetian wrote a sentence in the palindrome for the first time, "Life to see people, death to see corpses!" ”
Di Renjie received the emperor's reply again, and after reading it carefully, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and couldn't help but be a little shocked in his heart, knowing the deep meaning of the emperor's writing of such a sentence, and suddenly felt that he might have fallen into a shocking conspiracy again!
