"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!" As if he had finally reacted, Yuan Wanqing was dragged by two Qianniu guards and struggled with all his might, but he was still quickly dragged out of the Qianyang Palace.

At the last moment of leaving the Qianyang Palace, Yuan Wanqing finally saw the emperor's cold eyes above the golden steps.

There is also the Empress Wu who sat next to the emperor and was full of helplessness.

Although Empress Wu is in charge of court affairs, she is the acting deacon, and all her powers are given by the emperor.

It's fine in private, but once in public, the emperor makes a decision, and once Empress Wu opposes it, the courtiers will immediately stand up and demand the abolition of the queen.

There are definitely not a few such people.

Then there are only three families left, Cui Lu and Zheng.

The two heads of the North Gate Bachelor were successively beheaded by the emperor's order.

When everyone raised their heads, the emperor, Empress Wu, and Li Xian were all gone.

The emperor's handling of things was still fair, Yuan Wanqing was beheaded, Dou Xuande was deposed as a concubine, and exiled to Yazhou, all of which were disposed of.

The emperor has done everything he can to the extreme, and others are to blame, and there is nothing they can do.

"Now there is a vacancy in Zuo Shilangzhong, and there can be no delay, and the decree is passed on, and Shi Sugui, the governor of Hengzhou, is promoted to Zuo Shilangzhong."

If at this time, they continue to push Cui Mi to impeach Pei Yan, Cui Mi may not impeach Pei Yan, not to mention, he will not impeach him, after all, it is the new Zhongshu Ling.

But that night, Li Dan was in Songshan.

It's just that compared with Shangguan Yi, Hao Chujun saw it more clearly, the emperor wanted to use force to stabilize the government later, and he never wanted to abolish her.

So there is a great possibility that Cui Shi climbed the mountain on a snowy day, and then accidentally fell off the cliff.

Li Xuan's eyes converged, turned to look at Yao Chong and Li Zhaode, and sighed heavily.

Fortunately, Li Xuan arrived in time to burn the marriage book, otherwise it would be troublesome.

It's been a sad day.

"It's still going to be fighting, and you're in good control." Li Zhi took a deep breath and said, "You made a mistake for not decisively taking down the Cui family and Yuan Wanqing at the right time, if the two of them were eliminated as soon as possible, there would be no follow-up." ”

Li Xuan's eyes lowered, and deep thoughts flashed in the depths of his eyes.

After all, things have something to do with King Xiang.

Even Li Jingxuan dismissed the right minister, promoted the prince and young master, and Liu Jingxian succeeded him as prime minister, so he didn't allow the Hebei clan to rotate and succeed in the middle book.

"Lord Wang, what about Dr. Cui?" Su Liangsi lowered his voice and looked at an official who was about to approach on the opposite side.

Li Xuan shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Stop, one Zhongshu order is enough to temporarily satisfy Pei Xiang's ambitions." After all, everything is the greatest will of His Majesty, and the prince still needs to wait patiently. ”

As for the opposite, Pei Yan impeached Cui Mi, his cousin had just died, and the emperor and Empress Wu might not be willing to do it.

The emperor is so calculating, it is difficult for anyone to set off much of a storm.

However, after all, the Zheng family and King Xiang had an entanglement, and the private marriage contract between the two families before made the Zheng family and King Xiang lose face.

Even if the prince is benevolent and magnanimous, it is inevitable that the prince will be abolished.

This matter has gradually been controlled in the hands of the emperor.

Empress Wu and Li Xian hurriedly supported the emperor and laid him flat on the imperial couch.

Wang Dezhen was promoted to serve in the middle of the court, Wei Zhiwei was appointed as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Su Liangsi was appointed as the waiter of the Criminal Department, which was to win over the Guanlong family.

"Minister's order." Du Xianyan, Yang Jiong stood up at the same time.

Su Liangji nodded lightly, his face agreeing.

This incident also caused a great turmoil, and almost all the courtiers of the Xiangwang Mansion were driven out of Luoyang by the East Palace at that time.

Therefore, for Yuan Wanqing's death, who will be blamed on the Empress Wu in the end?

……

On the twelfth day of the lunar month, Mrs. Cui and her granddaughter Zheng Qiniang climbed Songshan Mountain on a snowy day, and finally accidentally fell off the cliff and died.

It's a very subtle one.

And today, the transfer of the prime ministers, I am afraid that they themselves do not know, the root of all this is the loss of control of this competition for the Ministry of Rites.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said: "Zhuqing is in charge of politics, and should be loyal to the monarch and love the people first, and use both morality and etiquette in government, so that we can be the first in the world and set an example for the world, and I can be gratified." ”

Liu Jingxian was born in Handan, Hebei Province, and his father Liu Xiangdao was the former prime minister, and his protégés were all over the world.

In the main hall, there were more and more ministers who turned around and bowed to the emperor.

The emperor has decreed that the mountain will be closed on the fifteenth day of the first month of Songshan, but before the fifteenth day of the first month, except for the top of the mountain, it is not forbidden for the people to go up the mountain to worship.

Li Xuan sighed lightly, in this way, the martial arts Su clan, the Jingzhao Du clan, and the Hongnong Yang clan were all taken care of.

Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and said softly: "Remember, anyone who wants to instigate Shiro to seize the position of the crown prince can be killed directly, this is the power I give you." ”

This means that the East Palace will be more involved in court politics in the future.

Yuan Wanqing is already dead, and Li Xuan, who appeared in the Zheng family at this time, will inevitably be targeted by everyone......

Outside the Zhenguan Palace, Li Dan bowed to the ground in a heavy manner.

Yuan Wanqing was beheaded, and he did not hesitate to change the law of Shang Ying back then, and the crown prince Fu Qianying was tortured, which was even more cruel.

But if it doesn't matter at all, I'm afraid not many people believe it.

Although the emperor dealt with a lot of Cui's death, the family members had grievances after all.

What's more, on a snowy night, even the most industrious person will rest early that night.

Li Xuan shook his head helplessly, in this matter of the Zheng family, he was pushed to the forefront by the emperor.

The two of them helped the emperor remove his crown and take off his robe, while the emperor sat there motionless.

And today, in order to appease the resentment of Cui Lu and Zheng San's family against Li Dan, today, the emperor did not hesitate at all, and directly beheaded Yuan Wanqing.

……

Either way, it's hard to get your wish this time.

In order to stabilize the heart of the world's families, the emperor promoted a large number of people and beheaded Yuan Wanqing by the way.

Many of the people around passed by Li Xuan and Su Liangsi.

Who knew that Choi would suddenly climb the mountain.

……

Li Zhi raised his eyes to look at Li Xian with great effort, and said in a low voice, "Do you know that you are wrong now?" ”

"Your Majesty will follow your majesty's teachings." The ministers bowed their heads at the same time.

In the end, the Qianyang Palace completely disappeared in Yuan Wanqing's eyes.

When something like this happens, the Zheng family, as well as the Cui family and the Lu family, will inevitably complain.

Yao Chong bowed his hand slightly, then turned to leave.

Today, the emperor is in court, and he seems to be in good health, and the hearts of the people, who were originally a little turbulent, immediately settled down completely.

Li Xuan didn't know how many people in the hall looked like him, but he knew that everyone had figured out the causes and consequences of everything that happened today.

"No, I don't want to die, I don't ......" Yuan Wanqing's voice of pain and struggle came from outside the hall, but suddenly it disappeared completely.

In this matter, the Cui family has fallen to his death, so the target of their complaints can only be the royal family.

Everyone thought that the emperor would continue to recuperate in the harem, but suddenly finding the remains of Tong'an's wife Cui Shi and Zheng Qiniang changed everything.

Li Xuan suddenly felt a chill, subconsciously turned around, bowed, and bowed respectfully, with a solemn face.

The position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is itself a matter that the emperor can judge in a word, but the emperor released it for the various factions of the government and the opposition to fight, and at the same time shifted people's attention from caring about the emperor's health to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"Ministers send your majesty, your majesty has a long life." The ministers surrendered at the same time.

Li Xian was slightly stunned, then took a few steps back with a heavy face, knelt on the ground, and bowed his head and said, "Erchen knows his mistake." ”

In the Zhenguan Palace, Li Xian and Empress Wu carefully supported the sweaty emperor to sit on the imperial couch.

"Lord Wang!" Su Liangsi walked to Li Xuan's side and said in a low voice, "There is still something to do in the East Palace, let's go together." ”

It can't be the emperor and the queen of martial arts, and it can't be the crown prince, then there is only the king of Xiang.

The Hebei family was also settled.

It can barely be seen that Empress Wu and several chamberlains help the emperor take off his coat and wipe his body.

When the bamboo armor was completely removed, the emperor breathed a long sigh of relief, and then lay back weakly.

The East Palace is increasingly involved in court politics, and it is inevitable that there will be no conflict with the Queen of Heaven.

"Gentlemen." The emperor spoke, and the hall was silent.

Many people's faces became solemn.

Li Dan is the king of Xiang after all, even if the Cui family wants to do something, it will not be too much, and Li Dan will not be forced to kill people.

The man immediately stopped and stepped aside.

Aside from today's transfer of prime ministers, Shangshu is in office, in fact, Su Lianghe's transfer from Sima in Yongzhou to the prince is the most important thing.

Others, Xue Yuanchao's promotion to the right servant of Shangshu, Pei Yan's promotion to the middle of the book, this is a pacification of the Hedong family.

It's hard to say what Cui's mountaineering has to do with Li Dan.

Li Zhi raised his head, looked outside the Qianyuan Palace, and said in a deep voice: "Let's stop here today, retreat from the dynasty!" ”

But even so, if it is said that Cui's death has anything to do with Li Dan, it is also indiscriminate.

Li Xian kowtowed and said: "Erchen should not compete with the fourth brother, so as to cause today's situation. ”

Immediately, a piece of bamboo armor appeared in the eyes of Empress Wu and Li Xian.

Pei Yan made the Zhongshu Order, and he was not so eager for Shangshu's left servant.

After all, in this matter, Yuan Wanqing was running back and forth, and he had an unshirkable responsibility for Cui's death, so it was not too much to kill him to make amends for Cui's crimes.

Shangguan Yi back then, and Hao Chujun later, are all such characters.

It's the same now, when the emperor was in the main hall in public and ordered Yuan Wanqing to be beheaded, Empress Wu couldn't say a word.

Li Xian was slightly stunned, then frowned, and suddenly understood, and he kowtowed to the ground in a deep voice: "It's Erchen's mistake." ”

Moreover, Yuan Wanqing is dead, and the charges of impeachment have already been borne by someone, which is difficult to harm Pei Yan.

……

"Hmm!" Li Xuan took a deep breath and followed Su Liangsi out of the main hall.

Just like when the emperor directly ordered Liu Yizhi to be beheaded in the main hall.

What the emperor did was not to appease, but to suppress, and to remove Cui Zhiwen's Tongzhongshu Sanpin, so that no matter how much trouble they made, they would not be able to make any big trouble.

The emperor groaned slightly, and then spoke: "Du Xunyan, a bachelor of Hongwen Pavilion, was transferred to Zhongshushe, and Yang Jiong, a bachelor of the Prince Chongwen Pavilion, was transferred to a bachelor of Hongwen Pavilion. ”

Yuan Wanqing quickly fell from the steps, and he saw countless frightened eyes, as well as the hateful eyes of Cui Zhiwen, Cui Zhiyi, Cui Mi and others.

"What's wrong?" Between the emperor's words, the heavy curtain fell.

"Whoa!" Li Xian kowtowed again.

Li Zhaode had already disappeared in the direction of the palace gate one step ahead.

In this matter, the prime minister may be at fault, but the emperor has punished him to the greatest extent.

But after using the military to stabilize the government and stabilize the government, once the military queen is out of line, the emperor has a look, and Hao Chujun immediately stands up to balance the military queen.

Not to mention that before that, the Zheng family and the Xiangwang Mansion were almost directly married.

However, from another point of view, it may not have worked, the emperor is so resolute, I am afraid that he has somewhat seen through Pei Yan's ambitions.

……

Although people don't know what happened here, they know that that night, Li Dan, the prime minister, was also in Songshan.

Yuan Wanqing's gaze couldn't help but fall on Li Dan's body, Li Dan's expression was indifferent, his eyes were level, but he didn't fall on Yuan Wanqing's body at all.

"At the critical moment, you can directly use King Peng." The emperor's expression calmed down, and in Li Xian's incredulous eyes, he said softly: "Let him mobilize the right guard into the city." ”

"Father, Emperor ......" Li Xian couldn't help but interrupt Li Zhi silently, gritted his teeth and said: "The son will never be like this, please ask my father to dismiss King Peng from the post of General of the Right Guard." ”
