Chapter 0302 Public Opinion Pressure

For a moment, I only heard Princess Taiping's lazy voice from the room, "Gao Lang come in"

Gao Jian didn't want to hear her call himself Gao Lang, his heart tightened, and he walked into the study quickly, the light in the study was exceptionally bright, filled with a strong jasmine fragrance, and I saw Princess Taiping change into a bright red palace dress, her head draped over her shoulders, lying lazily on the soft cushion, revealing a large piece of plump and white skin on her chest.

Gao Jian then remembered that Princess Taiping was pregnant again, it seemed that it had been three or four months, and he was a little relieved that she would not look for herself today.

"Come and sit next to me. Princess Taiping gently patted the empty couch beside her and ordered in an irresistible tone.

Gao Jian was helpless, so she had to be by her side, Princess Taiping frowned, "Don't you hug me?"

Gao Jian reached out and passed behind her again, hugged her shoulders, Princess Taiping pillowed on his chest, and smiled contentedly: "That's right, just now the horse came in to see the child, I didn't let him hug me, you should be flattered."

Princess Taiping saw that he didn't say anything, so she couldn't help but glance at him, "What, I feel uncomfortable when I see him?

"I didn't"

Gao Jian smiled bitterly: "I'm thinking about the child in your womb—"

Without waiting for Gao Jian to finish speaking, Princess Taiping said decisively: "My child's surname is Wu, and he is my husband's flesh and blood, don't think nonsense."

Gao Jian felt that she was a little angry, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "I have no other intention to be humble, I just care about the princess's body." ”

Princess Taiping glared at him for a moment, and then her thin eyebrows slowly relaxed, and then asked coldly, "What's the matter with me?"

Gao Jian had just gotten the note from Jiuzhi, and he knew what he had to say to impress Princess Taiping, so he groaned and said, "I went to see Li Zhen just now

"I know, what did you talk about?"

Gao Jian knew that Princess Taiping had sent someone to spy on Li Zhen, and he must have seen him as well, so he said in a low voice: "Li Zhen told me a piece of information, Liu Guangye took refuge in Wu Sansi"

"What?"

Princess Taiping immediately sat up and asked in surprise, "Are you serious?"

Gao Jian nodded, "The internal guard has been monitoring Wu Sansi, since Li Zhen told me, I think it must be the truth." ”

The lazy look swept away on Princess Taiping's face, her brows gradually furrowed, and her face was gloomy and serious, she didn't expect Wu Sansi to secretly win over Liu Guangye, Liu Guangye is certainly Lai Junchen's confidant, but he has a lot of seniority in the Imperial History Terrace, and it is very likely to replace Lai Junchen's position.

Obviously, Wu Sansi took the opportunity of eradicating Lai Junchen to control the Yushitai, and it was a good idea to fight Although Princess Taiping despised Wu Sansi very much, she also had to admit that Wu Sansi was accurate, and it was not clear that Liu Guangye would really replace Lai Junchen.

Princess Taiping walked to the window with her hands down, bowed her head and said nothing, looking preoccupied, but Gao Jian next to her knew Princess Taiping's thoughts very well, she wanted to push Mingtang Wei Ji Ji to the imperial history platform and replace the position of Lai Junchen.

Gao Jian said in a low voice: "I have persuaded the princess more than once, the cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, and the throne of the saint has been secured, so she doesn't need those cool officials and informers, the year before last, the saint removed the copper kuang in various states, and at the beginning of the year, he eradicated Xue Huaiyi, obviously, the next step is to eradicate these cool officials of Lai Junchen, so the humble position persuades the princess to take the initiative and eradicate Lai Junchen, which can make huge political capital." ”

After a while, Princess Taiping said softly: "Do you think my mother really wants to eradicate Lai Junchen? Why do I feel that she still wants to protect Lai Junchen, otherwise she should have killed Lai Junchen directly, instead of just demoting him to join the army in the same state." ”

This is the reason why Princess Taiping has been hesitating, she feels that her mother still wants to keep Lai Junchen, in this case, to persuade her mother to kill Lai Junchen, will the gain outweigh the loss?

Gao Jian understood Princess Taiping's mentality of suffering from gains and losses, and persuaded: "The saint is indeed hesitant, but she already has the heart to kill Junchen, some people say that the saint will remember the old merits, and can't bear to attack Lai Junchen, this is simply nonsense, the saint did not kill him this time, but he couldn't find a suitable person to replace Lai Junchen for the time being."

Gao Jian saw that Princess Taiping was tempted, and persuaded her: "Lai Junchen is full of evil, which has seriously affected the reputation of the saint, but the saint can't see through this for a while, once she wakes up, she will not hesitate to kill Lai Junchen, and now the wind of redress and complaint outside is intensifying, and the hundred officials have also begun to jointly appeal to kill Lai Junchen, if Wu Sansi uses these pressures to persuade the saint to kill Lai Junchen, then he is the first person in the credit book, and Her Royal Highness the princess will miss the opportunity." ”

Princess Taiping let out a long sigh, "But I think I've lost the opportunity, Li Zhen has grabbed the lead, and the winner will definitely be that slut." ”

"Her Royal Highness the Princess will indeed be unprofitable if he does not act, but if he actively participates, he will at least get a piece of the pie. ”

Princess Taiping paced back and forth in the room, and Gao Jian had a point, if she actively participated, she would at least get a piece of the pie.

But her mother was obviously protecting Lai Junchen, she was still very worried that she would anger her mother because of this, and after thinking about it repeatedly, she decided that this matter needed to be handled carefully, and she could not take too many risks, and her energy could only be focused on fighting for Ji Ji to fight for the imperial history.

Princess Taiping nodded slowly, "Okay, I'll take the opportunity to act, and if necessary, I will also persuade my mother to kill Lai Junchen." ”

Gao Jian sighed helplessly in his heart, Princess Taiping still has too many worries, and she will lose and lose, so she will miss the opportunity

Early the next morning, there was a major event in the court that shocked the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and Liu Guangye, the imperial historian, wrote to the empress Wu Zetian, revealing that Junchen was corrupt and perverted the law, and collected no less than hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years, all of which were hidden in Luming Villa.

Liu Guangye's move caused an uproar in the government and the opposition, you must know that Liu Guangye is Lai Junchen's first confidant and a well-known cool official, he actually betrayed Lai Junchen, which made many people think that Liu Guangye began to fall into the trap for Lai Junchen in order to protect himself.

But there are also some insiders who know that this matter is related to Wu Sansi, and it is rumored that Liu Guangye has secretly taken refuge in Wu Sansi, which must have been instructed by Wu Sansi, and many ministers have realized that this is no longer as simple as revealing Junchen, but the beginning of the competition for the position of Cheng in the imperial history.

On the high jade throne, Wu Zetian looked at Liu Guangye's book with an expressionless face, she casually threw the book aside, and said lightly: "I know about this matter, Liu Yushi should step back first."

Liu Guangye's first blow didn't seem to have an effect, and the saint didn't get the slightest anger, which made the hall begin to permeate a trace of unease, and the atmosphere became tense, Liu Guangye had prepared a lot of words, but the saint didn't give him a chance to express it, he had a feeling of punching the air, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart, and when he slowly retreated, he secretly glanced at Wu Sansi.

I saw that Wu Sansi was also puzzled, originally Wu Sansi also wanted to take the opportunity to play and take the initiative to solicit an errand to seize Luming Villa, but now the attitude of the saint is unclear, he doesn't dare to act rashly.

In the main hall, Li Yuan and more than a dozen ministers secretly looked at Xiangguo Lou Shide, their petition had been prepared, and they were originally planned to be submitted to the Holy Lord this morning, but Liu Guangye's encounter made the ministers nervous again.

At this time, Lou Shide gave a look to Xu Yougong, who was known for his uprightness, advocating the elimination of evil, it was he who repeatedly persuaded Lou Shide to make Lou Shide decide to launch a joint petition, he understood what Lou Shide meant, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a book to play"

Thousands of pairs of eyes in the main hall looked at Xu Yougong together, and Wu Zetian nodded slowly, "What does Xu Aiqing have to do?"

Xu Yougong walked out of the court in a hurry, and said loudly: "Wechen was ordered to take over Tongkuang, conscientious, not daring to slack off, there have been a lot of people submitting letters recently, Wechen doesn't want to disturb Your Majesty, but if you don't report it, you will be suspected of deceiving the king, so Wechen has to report to the saint truthfully." ”

He took out a volume of documents and presented them high, "This is the list of submissions compiled by the minister, please take a look at your majesty"

A eunuch walked down the jade steps, took the scroll and handed it to Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian slowly opened the scroll, all of them were accusations of Lai Junchen's corruption and perversion of the law, mutilating the innocent, and snatching people's wives and daughters.

Wu Zetian really couldn't stand it, as soon as he closed the scroll, he said sharply: "What the imperial history wants to handle is a thunderous method, accidental injuries will always be inevitable, you can't deny the achievements of the imperial history because of some grievances, which is more important, please Xu Yushi distinguish the priority"

"Your Majesty has offended people since ancient times, and the ministers are also very clear, but if what an imperial history thinks in his heart is not the stability of the society, not the righteousness and justice, but for the purpose of bribing money, taking away people's wives and daughters, and avenging personal grievances, then such a royal history is still fair at all?

"Your Majesty"

Hundreds of courtiers knelt down, and Lou Shide held up the petition of the hundred officials, and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, the reason why the hundred officials of the court accept the recognition of the imperial history platform is because of its fairness and severity, but what Lai Junchen did has tarnished the sanctity of the imperial history platform and tarnished the trust of the saint in him.

The hall was like the eve of a storm, nervous and depressed, hundreds of courtiers exerted tremendous pressure, this was the first time since Wu Zetian ascended the throne, Wu Zetian's chest rose and fell violently, and he was full of anger, at this time, Shangguan Wan'er reminded Wu Zetian in a low voice: "Your Majesty, let's disperse the court first."

"Scattered Dynasty"

Wu Zetian snorted heavily, got up and walked away quickly from the side hall, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other, and their eyes showed a heavy look, trying to persuade the Holy Lord to kill Lai Junchen, it seemed that it was really difficult
