Wu Zetian arrived at the right time to save Hong'er. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info She is also a very scheming person, and she even pretended to be happy, and picked up Wu Zetian to enjoy the flowers together. Although this great change subsided, Wu Zetian had lingering palpitations, especially for Wang Fusheng and Shangguan Yi, who felt that they had to be eliminated. On the surface, she persuaded the emperor not to punish him severely, but in private she secretly summoned Xu Jingzong to try to deal with these two people. Xu Jingzong was ruthless and vicious, and learned that Wang Fusheng had spread rumors in the palace, and immediately thought that it was related to the abolition of Prince Zhong, and he came up with a plan, saying that when the abolition of Prince Zhong was not abolished, Shangguanyi and Wang Fusheng were both serving in the Prince's Mansion, and they must have been instructed by the abolished Prince Zhong to plot a rebellion. Although Wu Zetian felt that it was not too clever to pull out the abolished prince Zhong again to come in handy, but taking this opportunity to get rid of the abolished prince Zhong could also avoid future troubles, and he agreed with this idea of killing two birds with one stone and let Xu Jingzong do it. Xu Jingzong and Wang Fusheng colluded with the abolition of the prince to commit the crime of treason and rebellion to Li Zhi, Li Zhi read the chapter, believed it to be true, and ordered the arrest of Shangguan Yi and Wang Fusheng, and beheaded the two of them and Shangguan Yi's family. At the time of the execution, Shangguan Yi hugged her granddaughter Shangguan Wan'er and cried bitterly, Shangguan Wan'er was only five years old at this time, smart and clever, Shangguan Yi really couldn't bear it. Wu Zetian came in person, Shangguan Wan'er saw it, and actually cried and scolded Wu Zetian, saying that if she didn't die, she would definitely find Wu Zetian to take revenge when she grew up, Wu Zetian was shocked by the boldness of this little girl, and she was arrogant, she ordered not to kill Shangguan Wan'er, and stayed in the palace as a slave. She confidently said to Shangguan Wan'er that she wanted to see with her own eyes how Shangguan Wan'er would take revenge when she grew up. All the ministers were shocked by Wu Zetian's bearing. Wu Zetian announced that he would listen to the government with the emperor, and would hold a ceremony to seal Zen and dominate the world. Prince Hong asked Li Zhi to bury the abolished prince. If Mrs. Wei wants to avenge her mother, she must first gain a firm foothold in the palace, so she tried her best to serve Li Zhi and asked Li Zhi to make her a concubine. Li Zhi also really liked her, because he found that Mrs. Wei was very similar to Wu Zetian when she was a girl, and he merged the two into one in a trance, thinking that in Mrs. Wei, he found the feeling when he was with the girl Wu Zetian, so he promised Mrs. Wei Guo to make her a concubine.
Wu Zetian discovered Li Zhi's feelings for Minyue and was determined to win back the hearts of Li Zhi and Hong'er with tolerance and love. Helan Minzhi came to the palace to meet Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, he was born with a talent, personable, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were very happy, and named him Zhou Guogong. He Lanmin was romantic, met Wu Zetian's maid Dongmei, and seduced her. Several other palace maids couldn't bear the loneliness and competed for a tryst with Helan Min. Helan Minzhi has so many palace maids for his lewd pleasure, and he has long forgotten about revenge. The old woman was entrusted by Wu Zetian to choose the crown princess for the crown prince, and she liked Yang Shiqi of the Yang family very much. This Yang is the daughter of Siwei Shaoqing Yang Sijian, who is as beautiful as a fairy and is known as "the beautiful jade of the world". Helan Minzhi also had a heart for Yang Shiqi. The scheming Minyue saw through Minzhi, and told her brother Helan Minzhi the secret of her mother's death by Wu Zetian. He Lanminzhi was so hateful that he drew his sword on the spot and wanted to kill Wu Zetian. The brother and sister conspired and decided to let Helan Minzhi defile the future crown princess in order to sabotage Wu Zetian's plan to win back his son's heart. He Lan Minzhi went to seduce Yang, but Yang failed to see through He Lan Minzhi's lies and let He Lan Minzhi succeed. Wu Zetian and Li Zhi discussed asking Prince Hong to meet the future crown princess, and when the two met, Yang was shocked, only to find out that he had been deceived before, and he fainted in fright.
Prince Hong reported to Wu Zetian about Yang's fainting, Wu Zetian noticed something strange, Minyue told Prince Hong about the folk rumors about Yang, and said that Hong was born to Mrs. Han, provoking the relationship between Hong and Wu Zetian. Hong's secret investigation found that the Yang family was indeed defiled by Helan Minzhi, and he was very angry, Hong hated Helan Minzhi extremely much, but he was afraid that his mother would be angry, so he didn't dare to report it to Wu Zetian, so he secretly endured it. He Lan Minzhi molested Princess Taiping's maid Miao Miao, Taiping found out that he wanted to kill him, Wu Zetian couldn't bear it, and did not kill He Lan Minzhi, but he was furious and drove him out of the palace, and sent Miao Miao, who had a relationship with Helan Minzhi, and other palace maids to Ganye Temple as nuns. Helan was instigated by Minyue to decide to assassinate Wu Zetian, and that night Helan Minzhi masked and assassinated Wu Zetian and was rescued by the crown prince Li Hong at a critical moment, and Helan Minzhi was injured and fled. When Li Zhi heard that there were assassins in the palace, he was extremely shocked and ordered people to search everywhere, but unexpectedly, this Helan Minzhi hid in the bedroom of Mrs. Wei and escaped the catastrophe. Wu Zetian didn't have a clue in the face of such a headless case, and only had a premonition that there was another force in the palace threatening her, so she was doubly careful.
Helan Minyue lied that he was sick and Minzhi skillfully resolved the crisis, deceived the search and assassination failed, and the palace strengthened its vigilance, and it was impossible to attack Wu Zetian again. Mrs. Wei was still unwilling and was ready to unite other forces to get rid of Wu Zetian. At this time, Wu Zetian was going to hold a ceremony to seal Zen, and the two brothers Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyuan, who were demoted to other places by Wu Zetian, went to Beijing and brought many congratulatory gifts to meet Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian had already heard that these two people were doing misdeeds in other places, and the people were extremely angry, and they wanted to punish them, so they refused to meet them. The Wu brothers felt unlucky and uneasy. One day, Mrs. Wei overheard the conversation between Li Zhi and Wu Zetian about punishing the Wu brothers, and also learned that Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyuan had a grudge against Wu Zetian. Min Yue secretly went out of the palace, secretly met with these two people, and used a discord to provoke, saying that Wu Zetian had asked the emperor to demote them to a more remote place, in fact, he wanted to kill the Wu brothers on the way, and the Wu brothers were extremely frightened and held even more hatred against Wu Zetian. Seeing that the time had come, Mrs. Wei told her a conspiracy and asked the Wu brothers to invite the emperor and Wu Zetian again to hold a family banquet in the Wu family's old mansion, and she would try to get Li Zhi and Wu Zetian to attend, so she suddenly moved during the banquet and killed Wu Zetian. The Wu brothers decided to take a desperate gamble and agreed to Mrs. Wei. Wu Zetian sent someone to follow Minyue, learned her intentions and plans, and decided to go to the banquet to find out. The Wu brothers went to ask the old lady to help invite Wu Zetian out of the palace, and the old lady agreed to let them go to see Wu Zetian and persuade Wu Zetian to go to the banquet, and Wu Zetian agreed. Li Zhi was persuaded by Mrs. Wei Guo and agreed to go to the martial arts family for a banquet. Wu Zetian remained silent, and decided to go to see what was going on, and secretly ordered General Hong to deploy defense. When the Wu brothers were on the verge of the event, they were so frightened that they did not dare to ambush the sword and axe men at the banquet, but changed their minds and put poison on a few black fish they had brought into Beijing from Longzhou.
On this day, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian took Mrs. Wei and Helan Minyi to the Wu family to attend a family banquet, and the Wu brothers said that the black fish brought from Longzhou was very delicious, and invited the emperor and queen to taste it. After the fish was served, he asked Wu Zetian to taste it first, and the extremely shrewd Wu Zetian suddenly became vigilant, so he brought the fish to Mrs. Wei Guo with a smile and asked her to eat it first. Mrs. Wei Guo did not know that the fish had been poisoned, and thanked her aunt very happily, but who knew that Mrs. Wei Guo was immediately poisoned after eating the fish, bleeding from her mouth and nose, and fell to the ground and died. Li Zhi was stunned, hugged Mrs. Wei and cried bitterly, Wu Zetian was furious, saying that the Wu brothers wanted to murder the emperor and the queen. Only then did Li Zhi suddenly come to his senses, and ordered someone to arrest the Wu brothers, and in a fit of rage, he was killed on the spot. Li Zhi was not interested in the death of Mrs. Wei Guo, and in retrospect, whether it was Wu Zetian who borrowed a knife to kill people, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he felt more lonely and helpless, and he also had a disgust for Wu Zetian, so he closed himself up and refused to see Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian went to talk to Li Zhi and ate the closed door. The crown prince Li Hong was worried about his father's health and blamed his mother, and Li Xian also sided with his brother, which made Wu Zetian very sad. At this time, she found out that she belittled the power of her relatives in order to govern the government, causing her Wu clan to basically die, and there was no successor, and now even her son was against her.
