Nurse Niang (above): "What does Zhaoyi Niangniang command?"

Wu Zetian: "The princess just woke up and is hungry, hurry up and breastfeed." ”

Nurse: "Yes!" (takes the princess and hugs it)

The little eunuch (above): "Zhaoyi Niangniang, the informant came to report, Queen Wang Niangniang wants to come to Zhaoyi Palace to see the little princess." ”

Wu Zetian: "What? Queen Wang wants to come to see the little princess?"

The little eunuch: "Back to Niangniang, I'm on the way, I'll be there soon!"

Wu Zetian: "Got it, go down!"

Little Eunuch: "Yes!" (II)

[Wu Zetian thought nervously and considered, and his mind had been decided.]

Wu Zetian: "That's right!"

Nursing mother (above) "Yu Niangniang, the little princess is full and sleeps again." ”

Wu Zetian: "Got it." ”

Nurse: "Yes." (Standing aside)

[Wu Zetian hurriedly returned to the room and came back in a short time.]

Qing'er: "Yes!"

Flowers: "Yes!"

Nurse: "Yes!"

[Wu Zetianxia.] The queen took the second palace maid up.

Queen Wang thought to herself: "Ganye Temple picked up Wu Meiniang, and the front door rejected the tiger and the back door entered the wolf. In the past three years, I have suffered a lot of anger, and I have no children and no daughters. The emperor only favors Wu Zhaoyi, and he is so cruel that the roots of my teeth itch. United Concubine Shu to deal with her, not afraid of overturning the big vinegar vat. ”

[Queen Wang took the second palace maid into Zhaoyi Palace.]

Qing'er (ceremony) "I've seen the queen's mother." ”

"I've seen the queen." ”

"I have seen the queen mother." ”

Queen Wang: "Wu Zhaoyi, tell her to come out to see the mourning family!"

Qing'er: "Back to Niangniang, Zhaoyi Niangniang went to the garden." ”

Queen Wang: "Where is the little princess, go and see the mourning family!"

Qing'er: "Back to Niangniang, the little princess is sleeping." ”

Queen Wang: "You all wait here, and the mourning family will go and see." ”

Second House Maiden: "Yes." ”

Hua'er (blocked) "Zhaoyi Niangniang didn't let me disturb, and the little princess slept." ”

Queen Wang (viciously) "Do you want to find death?

[The flowers are helpless to get out of the way.]

[Queen Wang, Shaoqing, Queen Wang's face was full of panic, and she stumbled up.

Queen Wang: "Oh no, no, the little princess is dead, the little princess is dead." ”

[Qing'er, Hua'er, and the nurse were stunned, and hurriedly went down to take a look, and ran up in surprise.]

Qing'er: "Oh no, the little princess is really dead." (crying)

The nurse (trembling) "Little princess, little princess, your life is so bitter!"

[Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian are the same, and they heard a cry when they entered the palace.

Wu Zetian (loud) "What are you crying about, what's wrong?"

Hua'er (crying) "The emperor, the mother, the little princess has ascended to heaven." ”

Wu Zetian (thunderbolt on a sunny day, grabbing the clothes on the front of the flowers) "What? What did you say?"

Hua'er: "Niangniang, the little princess has ascended to heaven!"

[Wu Zetian fell backwards, Tang Gaozong hurriedly held on, and saw Queen Wang.]

Tang Gaozong: "Empress, why are you here?"

Queen Wang (frightened) "I came to see the little princess, and when I saw her, she died. ”

Tang Gaozong: "Okay, it turns out that you killed the little princess." ”

Queen Wang (panicked) "No, no, I didn't kill you, I didn't kill you." ”

[Tang Gaozong sits Wu Zetian on a chair.]

Tang Gaozong: "If you don't come to see her and won't die, you will die as soon as you see her, it wasn't you who killed her, could it be that she died herself." ”

Queen Wang (pleading) "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I really didn't kill you." ”

[Wu Zetian woke up and ran down like crazy.]

Wu Zetian: "Child, child, my child!"

[Wu Zetian took out the little princess and showed it to Tang Gaozong, and sure enough, her face was bruised and she died of anger.

Tang Gaozong (angry) "said, who has ever entered the little princess's bedroom." ”

[The palace ladies did not dare to come out, and knelt down one after another.]

Tang Gaozong (kicked over the chair): "Say, say it quickly, don't say it again, I will kill you." ”

Wu Zetian (crying): "Little princess, you died so unjustly!"

Qing'er (back to the emperor): "Only the queen mother went in alone." ”

Tang Gaozong: "Didn't you go in with the queen?"

Nurse: "Back to the emperor, the queen won't let us in." ”

Tang Gaozong: "Queen Wang, what else do you have to say?"

Queen Wang (desperate): "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I didn't harm the little princess, I really didn't harm the little princess." ”

Tang Gaozong: "The facts are there, you still dare to deny it! ”

Second eunuch (above): "What is the emperor's will?"

Tang Gaozong: "Put the queen in prison and keep it under strict guard!"

Second eunuch: "Obey!"

Queen Wang: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have been wronged, I have been wronged! I really didn't hurt the little princess, no!"

[Queen Wang knelt down in front of Tang Gaozong, hugged Tang Gaozong's legs, and begged bitterly!]

Tang Gaozong: "You shrew, vinegar jar, ruthless woman, actually harmed the little princess who is less than half a year old, it's so hateful, it's really hateful." I'm going to abolish you, abolish you, abolish you!"

[The queen falls to the ground in despair.] The lights are dim.

[Zhaoyi Palace, the second palace maid, Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian sighed in a low voice: "The palace battle is like a fire, and the two fight after the abolition. The bow of the ship must be stable, and the wind and waves must not be frightened. ”

[Xu Jingzong.]

Xu Jingzong (ceremony): "Minister Xu Jingzong has seen Zhaoyi Niangniang. ”

Wu Zetian: "No courtesy, give a seat!"

Xu Jingzong: "Xie Niangniang!"

Wu Zetian: "Xu Aiqing, how are things going!"

Xu Jingzong: "Yu Niangniang, yesterday morning court meeting, the eldest grandson Wuji and Luo Suiliang said a big fallacy, and did not agree to abolish the queen and establish the queen Wu, the debate was very fierce, the eldest grandson Wuji and the queen was stubborn, and they had a deep prejudice against the mother, if they couldn't pull away these two stumbling blocks, not only would they be hindered after the abolition of the queen, but it would be even more difficult to set up a new prince. ”

Wu Zetian (standing up and thinking): "Yes! Xu Aiqing said very much, is there any good way?"

Xu Jingzong: "The eldest grandson Wuji is an official and a captain, who holds military and political power, and is an old minister of the previous dynasty, he can't be overthrown by general charges, unless he ......"

Wu Zetian: "Unless what?"

Xu Jingzong: "Unless it's a major crime of rebellion!"

Wu Zetian (pondering, turning around sharply): "If you are right, you will sue him for rebellion and rebellion! ”

Xu Jingzong: "Rest assured, Niangniang!

Wu Zetian: "What does Xu Aiqing think!"

Xu Jingzong (thinking): "This matter of abolishing the post-establishment is a family affair of the emperor, so why should it be discussed in court?

Wu Zetian (eyes lit up): "Okay! Good idea! Just do it! The queen killed the princess, and the emperor was very angry, and he must abolish her." I will persuade the emperor to make an order in court. The two of them must refuse to fight in the court and act at the opportune time. ”

Xu Jingzong: "Yes." ”

Wu Zetian: "Let's go down." ”

[Act 2 closes.]

Xu Jingzong thought in his heart: "This woman is not simple, Luo Wei has a deep calculation. There is a plan under the violet skirt, calling for wind and rain and wolf smoke. This is the left arm shaking the tree. This is the right arm cutting down the mountain. Charge forward. Full support for Wu Zetian.

[Two people down.]

[Two acts: The palace hall, the maid, the eunuch, the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang.] Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu and other six ministers.

Eunuch: "The emperor has arrived!"

[Tang Gaozong entered the dragon seat.]

The courtiers: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Tang Gaozong: "Zhongqing is flat!"

The courtiers (the courtiers stood up): "Long live Xie!"

Tang Gaozong: "Yesterday, the court discussed the abolition of the queen, do the ministers still have any objections?"

Chu Suiliang: "Your Majesty, abolishing the queen is a major event in the world, and the ministers think it is impossible!"

Tang Gaozong (impatient): "Why not, come up with a new reason." ”

Chu Suiliang: "The cause of Princess Anle's death is unknown, how can I be sure that it was the queen who killed her, and besides, ......"

Tang Gaozong: "Besides, I was on the scene, do you mean that I don't know the reason and wronged the queen?"

Chu Suiliang: "The minister doesn't dare, the queen is from a famous family, and she knows the etiquette, which was chosen by the emperor for His Majesty, and she will never kill indiscriminately for no reason, if you ......"

Tang Gaozong (reprimanded): "It's this set again, step back!"

Chu Suiliang: "Your Majesty, Wu Zhaoyi is a talented person who is the first emperor, and everyone in the world knows everything. A woman serving the second emperor is already a shameful laugh, if she is crowned queen again, it is against the national system, against the will of the people, and against the ......"

Tang Gaozong (furious): "Shut up! Chu Suiliang, you are so bold, you dare to scold the emperor." The queen has no virtue, you want to protect it, and you can't get used to Zhaoyi's talent. Remember that you are loyal to the old minister, and I don't ask you to stand aside!

The eldest grandson Wuji: "Your Majesty, Lord Chu's words are true, and his words are reasonable. The queen is the mother of a country, and if it is not established properly, it will threaten the imperial system and restore the society, and the queen cannot be abolished. Wu Zhaoyi can't stand, please think twice, think twice!"

Chu Suiliang: "Your Majesty, the minister is the minister entrusted by the emperor to the orphan, how can he ......"

Tang Gaozong: "Here again, here again, are you a minister of orphans, I am still a three-year-old child?"

Chu Suiliang: "Your Majesty, no matter what, the queen cannot be abolished, and Wu Zhaoyi cannot be established." ”

Tang Gaozong: "This can't be abolished, that can't be established, I don't count when I say it as the emperor, you have the final say, you can be the emperor!"

Chu Suiliang (kneeling): "The minister's mouth is not inferior, offending the emperor, the crime deserves death!"

Tang Gaozong: "I don't want you to die, I will be degraded to the history of the Yanzhou assassin, and I will take office immediately." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji: "Your Majesty, Lord Chu is an old minister of the first dynasty, loyal to the country, a sincere heart, can be shown to the sky, how can he be degraded from the capital!"

Tang Gaozong: "I don't understand, the queen cruelty of the princess, ruthless, just because she was chosen by the emperor, the capital crime cannot be abolished, Wu Zhaoyi has both talent and virtue, virtuous and kind, just because she is a talented person who served the princess of the first emperor, she can't be established as a queen, how can this be true?"

Wang Fusheng (above): "Your Majesty, the servants were ordered to search the Middle Palace, and in the side room behind the queen's bedroom, they captured a witch and seized a set of witch cups. A needle-piercing paper man, please the emperor to take a look. ”

[Wang Fusheng handed it over, and Tang Gaozong was angry after seeing it.]

Tang Gaozong: "Look, the queen's harem implements witchcraft and disgust with demons, and the name of Wu Zhaoyi is written on the small paper figure pierced by the needle. With such no distinction between good and bad, good and evil, are you all old and confused?"

The eldest grandson Wuji: "Your Majesty, someone must have framed the queen!"

Tang Gaozong (helpless): "Unreasonable, unreasonable!"

Xu Jingzong: "Your Majesty, the queen mutilated the princess and performed witchcraft, the evidence is conclusive, the facts are clear, it should be abolished early, Wu Zhaoyi has both ability and political integrity, virtuous and kind, should be established early, this is the emperor's family matter, and no one can interfere." Why didn't the emperor issue a holy decree earlier, but this important matter was over! Chu Suiliang and the eldest grandson Wuji repeatedly contradicted the emperor, offended the emperor's authority, and committed the crime of great disrespect, please ask Your Majesty to punish them!"

Eldest Sun Wuji: "You villain......"

Chu Suiliang: "Your Majesty, if you abolish the queen and set up Wu Zhaoyi, I, I, I will die in the court." ”

Tang Gaozong (ignoring): "The abolition of the queen is the business of my Li family, and no one can interfere." Wang Fusheng, spread my will, abolished the queen as a concubine, and established Wu Zhaoyi as the queen. Chin this. ”

Wang Fusheng (proclamation): "The emperor has a decree to abolish the queen as a concubine and appoint Wu Zhaoyi as the queen." Chin this. ”

Tang Gaozong: "Xu Aiqing, draft the edict and tell the world." ”

Xu Jingzong: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Chu Suiliang: "Your Majesty, the courtier's persuasion is useless, and he has failed the trust of the emperor, so he will die in the court today." After that, he shouted loudly: "The martial arts battle comes to the text and the death of the admonition, and a piece of sincerity can be against the sky." Bitter medicine is good for illness, and loyal ministers dare to spit out the truth. It's good to talk and don't listen to persuasion, and he crashed into the front of the hall and died. ”

[Chu Suiliang hit his head on the dragon pillar, bleeding profusely.] Passed out.

The eldest grandson Wuji (didn't stop him, hurriedly picked up Chu Suiliang): "Lord Chu, Lord Chu." ”

Tang Gaozong: "Retreat!"

The eldest grandson Wuji (put down Chu Suiliang and knelt down): "The emperor, the emperor, Lord Chu is dedicated to the country, why doesn't the emperor listen to persuasion?"

Tang Gaozong: "Uncle, because you are my uncle, I respect you, but you, why do you always fight against me! Are you old and confused? Uncle, my uncle!

[Watch Tang Gaozong retreat from the court, the ministers retreat from the court, and the eldest grandson Wuji squatted on the court.

The eldest grandson Wuji (kneeling down in front of the sky): "Cangtian, the minister has the trust of the emperor, I'm sorry for the emperor!"

[Lights dim.] There is a faint sound of singing!

"The peach blossoms in the spring outing song are bright, and the concubine Lan is in spring. Inoue Xintao steals his complexion, and the tender willow on the eaves is light. Come to see the dancing butterflies in the flowers, and listen to the warblers in the trees. Why should the forest be asked far away, and the outstanding romance is famous. Tang Xianghao Tianle. The first Taiyin condenses to the transformation, and the true Yaoyun Xuanyi. De Mai'e is open, and Ren Gao is clothed. The sky is enlightened, and the dream is the rising light. ”

[The singing fades and fades into obscurity!]
