Emperor Li Xian and Empress Dowager Wu Zetian left one after another, and the ministers who looked at each other also left in silence, and now such a major and bizarre thing happened in the court meeting, no one dared to discuss this matter in the palace, and some ministers who were eager to know what other people thought did not dare to inquire at this time, and those ministers who were ready to communicate were also anxious to rush outside the palace, and it was possible that they were looking for a place to discuss privately.

Liu Yi, who came to participate in the court meeting today, did not leave the palace like other ministers, and he still had to return to the Yulin Army camp to be on duty. During this time, Liu Yi was afraid of any accidents in the palace, so he strictly ordered the soldiers of the Yulin Army led by him, as well as the soldiers of Zuo Qianniuwei to be strictly guarded, and there should be no mistakes, therefore, he rarely went out of the palace to return home, even Princess Taiping, who had just ended her confinement, and the baby daughter rarely went back to visit, and Princess Taiping complained again and again.

The stand-ins "eunuchs" and "palace maids" who followed Princess Taiping into the palace placed by Liu Yi did not return to the princess's mansion with Princess Taiping this time, and still stayed in the palace.

Those people who pretended to be eunuchs were the top guards trained by Liu Yi, of course they were not real eunuchs, the people who pretended to be palace maids were the descendants of several wealthy households carefully selected by Liu Yi, and they were trained together with the guards. They are also sighing that their young master's courage is really not ordinary, and his ability to do things is not ordinarily strong, these people were arranged to go to the palace, but they were not discovered.

These guards leaders don't know, in addition to this means, Liu Yi also arranged some other forces in the palace, in the Zuo Yulin Army, there are several subordinates arranged by Liu Yi, what is the movement of the Zuo Yulin Army, Liu Yi can know in the first time, and in the Jinwuwei Army belonging to the Nanya Forbidden Army, in addition to Li Jingjia and Hua Dazhi, the two generals who led the army, have repeatedly expressed their willingness to obey Liu Yi's orders at any time, Liu Yi has also installed several absolute cronies in their army, and any movements of the left and right Jinwuwei can also be discovered one step earlier.

Of course, Liu Yi's right Yulin army has many of his loyal subordinates, and another general in the right Yulin army, Qi Biming, who actually leads the troops, has always been good friends with Liu Yi, but during this time, Qi Biming was sick and went home to recuperate.

Liu Yi returned to the big tent of the Yulin Army on the right, and one of his lieutenants put Jing Hui in the tent, and when he saw Liu Yi coming back, he was also busy catching up, and the two went to the inner room to discuss some things, Jing Hui reported to Liu Yi in detail the situation of the various departments of the Yulin Army, as well as the situation in the North Garden of Daming Palace, Liu Yi then instructed Jing Hui some things, Jing Hui listened and nodded constantly.

Liu Yi ordered to finish the matter, let Jinghui go to work, prepare to take a rest, and think about today's events.

How do you know that Jinghui just walked out, and immediately walked back, and saluted Liu Yi and said, "General, there is a father-in-law waiting outside, saying that there is something important to look for you..."

Hearing that a eunuch came to look for him, Liu Yi immediately got up from the couch and followed Jinghui out.

Seeing the familiar eunuch, Liu Yi chuckled in his heart, turned his head and commanded Jinghui a few words, and walked over to the place where the eunuch was standing.

The eunuch stepped forward, swept the dust, and saluted: "General Liu, the queen of heaven is invited!"

Liu Yi returned the salute, "Please also ask your father-in-law to lead the way!"

The eunuch took a step back and made another gesture of please, and Liu Yi stepped forward.

When he arrived outside the Xianju Hall where Wu Zetian lived, the eunuch asked him to wait outside, and Liu Yi saw that there were several important ministers of the court waiting outside, including Wu Sansi, Qiu Shenxian, Wei Xuan, and others, and everyone had a suspicious look on their faces.

Liu Yi went over to salute these people, greeted them, and didn't speak again, just stood and waited.

After a while, Shangguan Wan'er, who was dressed as a female official, walked out and came to Liu Yi, Shi Li said: "General Liu, the Queen of Heaven will let you in..."

Liu Yi returned the salute and did not speak, that is, he followed Shangguan Wan'er inside.

After the two walked into the hall together, Shangguan Wan'er slowed down, turned her head slightly, and said to Liu Yi in a very soft voice: "Niangniang is angry, I know that you have been summoned by His Majesty, you have to be careful..."

Liu Yi also strode into the hall, and when he saw Wu Zetian sitting on the hall expressionlessly, he also hurried over to salute.

Wu Zetian motioned for Shangguan Wan'er to retreat, and Liu Yi saw that there were no other palace people in the palace, only Wu Zetian and him.

"Yi'an, what benefits did Your Majesty promise you?" Wu Zetian had no emotion, but he revealed a chill.

Liu Yi, who had already expected that Wu Zetian would raise the teacher to ask for the guilt, heard such a headless sentence, and after being stunned for a moment, he did not panic, and said respectfully: "Hui Niangniang, when Your Majesty asked the minister to listen to some instructions, mainly to inquire about how Anxi was resettled, and there were some things about the reform of the army, Your Majesty praised some of the suggestions made by the minister in the past for being very far-sighted, and said that he would give the minister a heavy use..."

"Oh!?" Liu Yi's straightforward confession was a bit unexpected to Wu Zetian, but she immediately returned to normal, and then said: "Your Majesty has really fulfilled his promise, and now you are allowed to participate in the affairs of the court with the post of Pingzhang under the Tongzhong Shumen..."

Liu Yi raised his head and said very loudly: "The minister has said that it is because of the appreciation of the emperor and the mother that he can be reused, and the minister thinks that all this is the will of the mother... I didn't expect it to be Your Majesty... The minister has always respected the will of the mother!"

"I'm afraid that Your Majesty will grant you such a gift, and you will forget what the palace tells you!" Wu Zetian still had no emotion in his words, and his tone was very cold, "This palace gives you a lot of trust, an unusual reuse, and marry your most beloved daughters as your wife, in the end, you will still be entrusted by this palace..."

In the face of the faint murderous aura revealed in Wu Zetian's words, Liu Yi remained calm, still did not change his expression, and still responded loudly: "Niangniang, the minister is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and he has never violated Niangniang's orders, and please rest assured that the minister will think twice before doing anything... The minister will definitely resign from the ministry of the lower door of the same Zhongshu..."

Wu Zetian stared at Liu Yi straightly, Liu Yi still didn't have any dodge, just stood upright, for a while, Wu Zetian's eyes calmed down, sighed and said: "Okay, this palace is just annoyed by His Majesty's disrespect for this palace, not to blame you... After a while, the palace also summoned some people to come in, and we discussed some things together! Someone..."

"Niangniang..."Shangguan Wan'er came out of nowhere.

"Let Pei Zhong Shuling, Wu Shizhong, Wei Shilang, General Qiu, General Cheng... They're coming in together!" Wu Zetian commanded.

"Yes, sis!" Shangguan Wan'er answered, and after giving a salute, she walked out.

After a while, Shangguan Wan'er brought in several people, Liu Yi took a look, in Pei Yan, Wu Sansi, Wei Xuantong, Cheng Wuting and other people, a total of more than a dozen people, it seems that Liu Yi was talking to Wu Zetian, and many more people were summoned over.

Several people went up one after another to salute Wu Zetian, that is, they stood still according to their respective grades and did not speak.

Wu Zetian stood up, walked down from the hall, stood in the middle of several people, his eyes swept over the eyes of these people one by one, and said with some hatred: "Your Majesty has not agreed to this palace, and has appointed many ministers to do the same thing as the Zhongshu Sect Pingzhang, this is a matter of chaos in the court, when the emperor was there, there were only six prime ministers in the court, and now His Majesty has increased five people at once, and these people are all involved in political affairs, so how can it..."

After Wu Zetian finished speaking, Pei Yan was the first to speak: "Niangniang, when the first emperor died, there was an edict that made Niangniang take charge of the government, and if there was an indecision on military affairs, he should come to inquire about Niangniang, and now His Majesty has just been in charge of the government, and he has violated the edict of the first emperor... This is a must-have!"

"Niangniang, Your Majesty's move is to deprive Niangniang of the right to deal with state affairs," Wu Sansi also hurriedly followed up, saluted and said: "It has only been a few months since the death of the first emperor, and Your Majesty has forgotten the instructions of the first emperor before his death, and openly made such embarrassing acts to Niangniang, the ministers are very indignant, and the ministers are already drafting the recital, and they are asking Your Majesty to withdraw their orders... You can't let these people serve in the same book as a subordinate of the same book!"

Hearing these two people say this, and seeing that other people's eyes were staring at him, Liu Yi, who had to express his position, had no choice but to say: "The minister is sparse and shallow, and he can't use this position at all, and the minister will definitely make a statement..."

After Liu Yi finished speaking, Pei Yan and Wu Sansi said something to reprimand Li Xian for being disloyal and unfilial, and many other people echoed Guan, but Wei Xuantong and Cheng Wuting, who were standing on the side, had no words, and there was no expression on their faces!

After listening to everyone's words complimenting her and scolding Li Xian, Wu Zetian's face finally eased, waved his hand, and motioned everyone to stop talking, "Your Majesty is the king of a country, and it is his duty to appoint officials, but now that the internal and external troubles have not been eliminated, the former emperor handed over the burden to the palace, and the palace is duty-bound to take on the responsibility of handling court affairs..."

"Niangniang, please rest assured, the ministers will definitely make every effort to explain the reason and let His Majesty retract this appointment!" Wu Sansi said loudly again.

Hearing Wu Sansi say this, Wu Zetian's attitude took a 180-degree turn, "Okay, Your Majesty's appointment, this palace will not agree to it for the time being, but the New Year is coming soon, let's leave these things until the New Year!" Go ahead... Pei Zhongshu and Wu Shizhong stayed..."

"Yes, the ministers are leaving!" Liu Yi and Wei Xuan saluted and walked out of the Immortal Palace.

Wu Zetian left Pei Yan and Wu Sansi behind, and he would definitely have to discuss some confidential matters, Liu Yi wanted to know what they were talking about, so he also gestured to Shangguan Wan'er who was standing outside the hall before leaving...
