Early the next morning, in the early court of the Ming Hall, Wang Hongyi, the servant of the imperial history, wrote a letter to impeach Li Zhen, the commander of the internal guard, "The minister heard that this person had just taken office and committed indiscriminate evil deeds, and in broad daylight he dared to set fire to the post station and slaughter the monks of the White Horse Temple, the means were cruel, and the people and gods were angry, and the minister begged His Majesty to severely punish this person and correct the dynasty!"

This impeachment caused a whisper in the court, yesterday afternoon many people heard that there was a fire on the official road of Yanshi, it seems that many people were burned to death, but they didn't expect that it was the internal guard, and it was the monk who burned the White Horse Temple, isn't that Xue Huaiyi's person?

Many ministers showed a look of shock in their eyes, who is this Li Zhen? A person who dares to kill Xue Huaiyi, has he eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall?

There are also many people who sneered and said nothing, standing aside and watching coldly, to see how the saint will protect her male pet this time?

Although most people wished that Xue Huaiyi would be killed together, they shuddered at the thought of the empress's imminent outrage, and many of them shrunk their necks and secretly looked at the female emperor whose face was not clear above the court.

An attendant walked down the jade steps, took Wang Hongyi's impeachment scroll, and presented it to Empress Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian sat on top of the tall Dan Majesty, the tall and majestic Ming Hall can accommodate 10,000 people, and she is dozens of steps away from the nearest courtier, especially the lack of light, so that the courtiers can't see her face, and it adds a bit of mystery and majesty to her.

Wu Zetian didn't have any expression on her face, she slowly unfolded the scroll, but out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Shangguan Wan'er who was standing aside.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded slightly to her, indicating that she knew about it, and a hint of mocking coldness appeared on the corner of Wu Zetian's mouth, and someone actually impeached the commander of the internal guard

Wu Zetian was silent, and asked Yang Zaisi, the servant of the door, "Yang Xiangguo, does the political hall know about this matter?"

Yang Zai was stunned, he didn't understand how the saint could ask himself, and hurriedly came out of the column and saluted: "Your Majesty, the political hall still doesn't know about this?"

"Then what do you think about this?" Wu Zetian asked lightly.

Yang Zaisi's eyes rolled rapidly, he didn't know who this deputy commander of the internal security Li Zhen was, but he knew that it was impossible to be promoted to the deputy commander of the internal security without a background behind him, and he couldn't be a person from Wu Sansi.

When Wei Chen first heard about this, he was still confused, and he didn't dare to make a conclusion at will, so he implored His Majesty to give Wei Chen a little time to understand. ”

"What does Su Xiangguo mean?" Wu Zetian's gaze turned to Xiangguo Su Wei again.

Su Wei was taken aback, hurriedly came out of the line to salute, and said vaguely: "Maybe there is such a thing, maybe there is also a bit of misunderstanding, Weichen can't comment on this matter yet." ”

Su Wei always spoke ambiguously, nicknamed 'Su Moleng', and many people in the court couldn't help laughing, knowing that he would answer like this.

Wu Zetian also smiled faintly, "Since even the two prime ministers can't be clear, how can I make a decision? ”

As soon as Wu Zetian's words came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the court, although there was no noise, everyone was a little stunned.

Many people still clearly remember that in the past ten years, in order to protect Xue Huaiyi, the saint has killed many innocents and deposed many ministers.

The courtiers looked at each other, and they didn't know what was going on?

At this time, Wu Zetian put aside the impeachment scroll of Wang Hongyi, and asked, "Do you have any other political affairs to report?"

Today's morning court time is not long, only a few small things were discussed, less than an hour to disperse, Wu Zetian returned to the Zhenguan Palace, the courtiers poured out from the Ming Hall, to the official office in the imperial city, they talked a lot, are talking about the strange things born today.

"Lee Sang-guk, please wait!"

Xiangguo Li Dezhao, who was walking in front, heard someone calling him from behind, so he stopped, and when he turned around, he saw Xiangguo Su Wei walking briskly towards this side.

Li Dezhao is nearly seventy years old, highly respected, and Di Renjie became the top minister of the imperial court.

Su Wei quickly followed, and said in a low voice: "It's strange today, didn't Li Xiangguo show up?"

"What's strange. ”

Li Dezhao smiled faintly, "Flowers are not red for a hundred days, there will always be a day of withering, do you think his holy family will be prosperous forever?"

Li Dezhao knew what Su Wei was talking about, and generally important ministers would not openly talk about sensitive topics, especially when it came to changes in the power structure, and would not take it lightly.

But Xue Huaiyi is an exception, he is Wu Zetian's male favorite, born as a scoundrel in the market, relying on the support of the saint to fly and dominate, doing all kinds of evil, everyone hates him to the bone, and the ministers do not hide their extreme disgust for this low-grade villain.

Li Dezhao also hated Xue Huaiyi very much, last year he was forced by Xue Huaiyi to kneel down and beg for mercy, which became a great shame for his life, and he longed for Xue Huaiyi to be torn apart in public, so as to vent the hatred in his heart.

Su Wei also nodded, and sneered: "Everyone thinks it's incredible that someone dares to touch Xue Huaiyi, but they don't want to think about who is slapping Xue Huaiyi?"

Li Dezhao stopped and looked at Su Wei suspiciously: "Su Xiangguo knows that Li Zhen?"

"I just heard that this person was recommended by Shangguan Sheren, and his qualifications are very shallow, and it is said that he has something to do with Gao Yanfu. ”

Li Dezhao showed a suddenly realized expression, and said with a smile: "I understand, thank you Su Xiangguo for telling me frankly." ”

Su Wei also lowered his voice and smiled: "Anyway, isn't it a very pleasant thing to watch that male concubine get her face slapped?"

Li Dezhao smiled and narrowed his eyes, "It's really pleasant, but I guess it's not over yet, we might as well look at it again." ”

"Yes, yes, we all want this to be a little more exciting, a little more interesting, Lee Sang-kook, isn't it?"

The two looked at each other and laughed together

Wu Zetian's face was cloudy, and she was pacing back and forth in the imperial study, and her imperial case was placed with the impeachment book of Wang Hongyi, who served the imperial history, at this time Wu Zetian knew better than anyone what kind of contradiction was glued here.

Of course, she would not believe that the slain Hu Seng was an innocent devout Buddha, and the impeachment of the Hu Seng of the White Horse Temple had long been piled up in her bookcase.

She also questioned Xue Huaiyi more than once, and Xue Huaiyi either swore to restrain Hu Seng, or he didn't think so, and accused Yu Shi of taking revenge on himself, which made Wu Zetian helpless.

Over the past year or so, Wu Zetian, who likes to pursue novelty and excitement, has gradually lost his passion for Xue Huaiyi, and Xue Huaiyi's repeated troubles have also made her quite impatient, she is like a hen, always acting as a mediator and apocalyptic for aggressive roosters, and for a long time, Wu Zetian is in a predicament of wanting to stop and being embarrassed.

Compared with the heavy blow of Wei Shifang's case to Wu Zetian, the small Hu Seng case is really nothing, but its impact is very great, and it has caused a lot of turmoil, which makes Wu Zetian a little dilemma.

But in this way, it is bound to anger Xue Huaiyi, although she has gradually lost her passion for Xue Huaiyi, but thinking of her and Xue Huaiyi's ten-year friendship, she is a little unbearable, making it difficult for her to choose for a while.

Shangguan Wan'er stood quietly at the door, she didn't disturb Wu Zetian's thoughts, she knew that the saint was in a dilemma.

Regarding Hu Seng's case, she got Li Zhen's report last night, and she knew very well what kind of turmoil this matter would cause, but she was not annoyed that Li Zhen had caused trouble for her, she felt that this was a good temptation, and through this matter, she could see whether the saint had the determination to completely bring down Xue Huaiyi.

At this time, Wu Zetian sighed, turned around and asked Shangguan Wan'er, "Wan'er, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Wu Zetian let out a low sigh, and Shangguan Wan'er sensitively captured the complex mentality of the saint, if she was determined to severely punish Xue Huaiyi, then she would definitely be reprimanded with thunderous anger, instead of being as soft as now, she asked herself what to do, just to let herself give her a step.

'It seems that now is not the time to completely bring down Xue Huaiyi', Shangguan Wan'er thought secretly in her heart.

In the face of this contradictory situation, Shangguan Wan'er had already dealt with the abdominal case, so she said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Wan'er also read Li Zhen's report, it was Hu Seng who slaughtered the post station personnel first, Li Zhen and they just happened to be passing by, in order to prevent Hu Seng from continuing to commit murder, the two sides clashed, and they were forced to fight back out of self-preservation, Wan'er felt that this was just an ordinary murder case, and it was not appropriate to interpret it too much." ”

Wu Zetian is so smart, she immediately understood what Shangguan Wan'er meant, this matter can be big or small, if you don't want to make a big fuss, then deal with Xiaoli, she groaned and said: "Do you mean to say, let Yanshi County investigate this case?"

Shangguan Wan'er said euphemistically: "This matter involves the impeachment of Yushitai, and it also involves the issue of internal security law enforcement standards. ”

Shangguan Wan'er has skillfully stripped Xue Huaiyi and eliminated it, turning this case into a struggle between Yushitai and the internal guards, either the internal guards indiscriminately killed innocents, or the Yushitai concealed the truth and deceived the monarch.

Wu Zetian remembered something again and asked, "How is that batch of gold now?"

"Qi Yu Xià, the gold has been transported back to Luoyang along the lì, Wan'er will include them in the inner treasury of the Majesty, this is the list, please take a look!"

Shangguan Wan'er presented a list to Wu Zetian, the Tang Dynasty had a strict system, with a clear distinction between public and private, and Wu Zetian was not the final say in heavy expenditures, but also had to be reviewed by the Xiangguo.

Therefore, Wu Zetian also has his own inner treasury, which is used for some personal expenses, such as Wei Tuan'er's embezzlement of a large number of jewelry, as well as Wei Shifang's money this time, Wu Zetian will be included in his inner treasury.

And her inner library is in charge of Shangguan Wan'er, who she trusts the most, Wu Zetian looked at the list, she was very satisfied with Shangguan Wan'er's handling plan, so she happily said: "Okay! I will let Dali Qing Li Yuan investigate this murder case, and the result must be out within three days." ”
