After Xu Jingzong read out the will, he looked condescendingly at the Shangguan family kneeling on the ground, with a triumphant smile on his face. opened his mouth and said, "Old Prime Minister, you know that talent is not enough on this road, and standing in the right direction in the midst of the treacherous clouds can ensure that the official hat is not lost and the family is safe." The Shangguan family is in such a difficult situation, presumably the old prime minister is full of grief and indignation, but you have no chance to turn over this time."

Shangguan Yi stood up from the ground, and her trembling movements seemed to be a little sad: "Lord Xu, don't be afraid that the Xu family will not have today in the future, how many greedy and flattering villains around the Wu family are rushing to stammer." If Lord Xu wants to rise to prosper in such a situation and prosper in official fortune, even if he wants to protect the safety of your Xu family, it will take a lot of effort. After all, Wu's mind is hard to guess, you took care of the loyal ministers of the former emperor for her, and how many secrets she didn't want others to know, are you still afraid that you don't have today?"

Xu Jingzong was choked and speechless, and after a pause, his tone rose a little: "Lord Shangguan, don't scare your subordinates, I can be regarded as a hero who supported the empress to ascend the throne, how could the empress not take it seriously?" ”

Mrs. Shangguan hugged Shangguan Yi, Shangguan Yi waved her hand, walked in front of Xu Jingzong, and bowed slightly: "Lord Xu, you have also read books, and there are clouds in the historical records: all the birds are flying, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking." I'm on this Huangquan Road, in front of Meng Po, begging for a while, wait for Lord Xu"

Xu Jingzong was so excited that he had nothing to say, so he only ordered his soldiers to quickly arrest Shangguan and his son and put them in prison, and all the remaining men were exiled to the bitter cold place, and the female dependents got into the car and escorted them into the court.

Mrs. Shangguan couldn't help crying, Su Duyin ran into the front hall with Wan'er in her arms, Shangguan Tingzhi hugged her, Shangguan Yi held back her tears, and still couldn't bear to look at her granddaughter in swaddling clothes.

Mrs. Shangguan knelt down and begged: "Lord Xu, when the first emperor was here, although the Xu family and the Shangguan family were not relatives and friends, they never grudged, we don't want to embarrass Lord Xu, but it is difficult for Lord Xu to give our family a little more time."

Xu Jingzong couldn't see the elderly female relatives kneeling and worshipping, so he just waved his hand and stepped out of the door, letting his subordinates also withdraw: "I'll give you half an hour, and I won't be able to deal with it after a long time, but I still want to ask Lord Shangguan, I have been an official for many years, how can I not know that the court is dangerous, the first emperor is seriously ill and knows that time is short, why should Lord Shangguan draft such an edict from the first emperor."

Shangguan Tingzhi: "Lord Xu doesn't need to ask my father, my Shangguan family has served in the court for generations, how can I not obey Your Majesty's orders, not to mention that this country belongs to the Li family, not something that she can control."

Master Xu waved his hand and left.

In the hall, Mrs. Shangguan and Twilight cried together, and Wan'er in her arms seemed to feel the changes in her family, and she couldn't help crying. Shangguan Yi hugged Wan'er: "Grandson, you have only been born for a few days, and your grandfather can't protect you if he loves you."

After that, he took out a mutton fat white jade wrench from his arms and gave it to Su Duyin. "This was originally passed on to Tingzhi after a hundred years, this is a token passed down by Shangguan every generation of the family, this time my Shangguan family suffered this disaster, fortunately Wan'er is a daughter, and the Wu family has never made it difficult for the female dependents, this was taken into the court, twilight you and take good care of her, the coming day is long, and then tell her the ins and outs of this wrench after she is sensible, and the glory lintel of the Shangguan family only depends on her."

Twilight took the token and put it in her arms.

Shangguan Yi hugged Wan'er and kissed her, the old tears were all over the place, and Mrs. Shangguan wiped away his tears for him: "Master, don't worry, when I am escorted into the palace and settle their mother and daughter, I will go to find you."

Twilight Yin took over the conversation: "Mother, don't talk nonsense, the Shangguan family suffered this catastrophe, and my Lin Zhange has no chance to do it, but my Lin Zhange has explored the secrets of the world, and I also have eyeliner in the palace, this time the Wu family's matter, there is no sign at all, presumably the eyeliner has also been removed a lot, husband and father must not worry, even if they are taken into the court as a slave, I have a way to protect her." This country will return to the hands of the Li family sooner or later, and it is good to wait and see what happens in the palace. ”

Shangguan Yi nodded. Tingzhi hugged her daughter back, her heart was a lot softer, but she knew that time was running out, and she still wanted to see her daughter twice.

At this time, the soldiers entered the house, and Shangguan's father and son were taken away, followed by Mrs. and Twilight Yin were also escorted into the car.

The mother-in-law and girls in the mansion were all executed on the spot, and the Shangguan Mansion was like a purgatory on earth at this time, and the shouts of the mother-in-law and the servants could still be heard after walking a long distance.

Wu was in the palace at this time, and the female envoy beside him came to deliver a message.

"Tell Your Majesty, Shangguan's matter has been resolved, at this time, I heard that the daughter-in-law of Shangguan's family has just given birth, and she is still holding her newborn daughter in the court, and the court came to ask what you mean."

Wu Shi rubbed his brows, there have been a lot of things in recent days, and the old problem of headache has been committed again, so he said slowly: "Why bother with women, the old woman and daughter-in-law are also considered weak, so you don't have to do it, arrange some idle work, just stay well, as for the newborn girl, it is easy to give birth and raise, and you don't have to do anything." lest as soon as I ascend the throne, there will be some rumors of mistreatment of the palace people."

The envoy obeyed the order and retired.

Xu Jingzong came to restore his life.

The empress spoke: "Things can be done, but the people around you who know the inside story, clean it up, after all, the Shangguan family was the favored ministers of the first emperor when he was there, I did it this time to know that I was at a loss, and I ended up with a reputation that I didn't like the former ministers. ”

Xu Jingzong replied: "Xia Guan understands"

After retiring from the palace, the Wu family took a long breath. Recently, things have been complicated, and I always dreamed of the eyes of the first emperor in the middle of the night, staring at myself directly, and said: "Yunning, Yunning, why is this country controlled by you, Yunning"

Wu closed his eyes for a while, opened his eyes, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and thought in his heart, the trouble was finally eradicated, Chang'an changed hands, and the entire Datang was held by her.

And Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Tingzhi were imprisoned. When the Wu family heard the news, they just ordered the female envoy to bring some things to cook for her.

In the prison, many ministers who had written excerpts to criticize the Wu clan were imprisoned, and Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Tingzhi were locked in a secret room with twists and turns.

The envoy brought some good wine and food, and a pot of wine filled with poison.

"Two lords, your status is precious, and in order to keep the whole body for you, it can be regarded as the last bit of decency. This is the last meal of the two of you, and it is also a gift from the empress, and there is something poured into the wine, and the two of you should know better than me what it is. I'll wait for the two of you to finish eating and drinking, and then go back to your life. ”

Shangguan Yi laughed at the wall in the prison: "I didn't expect that my Shangguan Yi would die like this in his ancient years, come on, come on, Tingzhi eat more, so that our father and son can be full on Huangquan Road."

The father and son drank the last glass of wine, and Tingzhi first bleed from the corner of his mouth and fell to the ground. Shangguan Yi watched his son fall to the ground and wanted to go with his son, but he couldn't afford to fall to the ground before he passed.

The envoy then packed up her things and instructed the prison messenger to bypass Dali Temple and let Xu Jingzong do this.

The prison messenger wanted to say something, but when he saw the empress token in the hand of the female envoy, he had to kneel down and agree.

The Wu clan could hear the news of the death of Shangguan's father and son.

Sitting alone in front of the window, the maidservant burned a pot of wine and was drinking alone. The temple was empty.

muttered to himself: "Your Majesty, I didn't believe that you wanted to abolish me, but you actually asked Shangguan to draft an edict, and it was you who put me on the throne of the queen, saying that you want to live with me for the rest of your life, but why are there so many people around you, even my sister has made a private agreement with you for life." I, Wu Yuning, how can I not hate. But I respect you and love you, Your Majesty. You yourself said that if Yuning is a man, he must be a famous generation. But I don't want to be a generation of celebrities, can the people who control the country do whatever they want, I want to be the first female emperor in the world, admired by thousands of people. I could have kept the life of the official, but he drafted the edict for you, and it was him. You didn't even believe Yunning in the end. If it is a love between men and women, the man's mountain alliance and sea oath are all boasting about Haikou, why can't you lie to me to the end. You can't abolish me, you can't! ”
