Chapter 225: Turmoil after the abolition
Inside the Queen's Bedchamber.
Colliers anxiously reported what he had seen.
After listening to these expressionlessly, Wu Meiniang just asked lightly: "Is it only Shangguan Yi who persuaded the abolition of the queen tonight?" ”
"Yes."
"Does the others know that His Majesty has agreed?"
"The minions don't know."
"Hongu knows." Wu Meiniang slowly stood up, walked out of the door and looked up at the lonely cold moon.
After a while, Wu Meiniang looked at Gao Lishi and said lightly: "You have followed the palace for many years, the palace can see your loyalty, I have some jewelry here, if the palace is held accountable, you must not be able to live, if so, then you will go out to make a living." ”
Gao Lishi was slightly stunned, these words moved him a little, but he was arranged here by the marshal, where else could he go to make a living?
And if something happens to him, he will lie down next to the big handsome, who can do anything to him?
When he turned around, Gao Lishi found that Wu Meiniang was gone, and only a pair of gold bracelets and jewelry were left on the table in front of him.
Wu Meiniang's appearance made Gao Lishi stunned, and he thought about whether to find a way to help.
But as soon as a figure flashed through his mind, the thought was immediately dispelled.
"My task is to be a confidant, to get information, and the rest is none of my business, none of my business..."
At this time.
Inside the main hall of the Royal Palace.
Shangguan Yi sat at the table, and by the dim lamp, he was writing the edict abolishing Wu Meiniang.
He had been waiting for this day not for a day or two, but for several years, and he had been in opposition since Wu Zetian took power.
There was a lot of waste paper on the ground that was rolled into balls, all of which he felt was not good and was thrown away.
After all, it was the first time he had written an edict after the abolition, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He wants to turn all Confucian rituals into thousands of sharp blades and cut off those things that should not exist, he believes that as long as it is done, the name Shangguanyi will definitely go down in history! Datang will also be back on track in his heart!
Li Zhi paced back and forth in the palace and failed to sleep.
In all fairness, he doesn't have no feelings for Wu Meiniang, on the contrary, he loves her the most, even if someone has a love affair with him.
Therefore, he is also very tormented now, and he has been reminding himself repeatedly in his heart.
This is not treachery, it is not unkindness, but to maintain the rights and dignity of the emperor! That's all what Wu Meiniang did!
Thinking of this, Li Zhi couldn't help but raise his head and shouted: "It's really hard, have you written it!?" ”
Shangguan Yi hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, Your Majesty, please take a look." ”
Li Zhi stretched out his hand to take it, but he didn't want to look at it, and then waved his hand: "Take it and copy it, quickly!" ”
Shangguan Yi looked at Li Zhi with an impatient look on his face and nodded.
But before he could continue to transcribe the second copy, outside the main hall, a shadow slowly walked in.
Shangguan Yi couldn't help but look up, although the lights were dim and he couldn't see people's faces clearly, he knew that it could only be that person who could walk in without anyone notifying!
Li Zhi was irritable and didn't notice that someone came in, and Wu Meiniang stood quietly by the pillar and waited, without saying a word.
Out of the corner of his eye, Li Zhi saw Shangguan Yi stop writing again, and couldn't help but want to urge, but as soon as he turned around, he noticed that someone had come in!
Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang looked at each other blankly, just looked at each other silently, and didn't make a sound for a long time.
In the end, it was Wu Meiniang who took the lead in asking.
"I heard that His Majesty wants to abolish the concubines, is it true?"
Wu Meiniang's voice was smooth and gentle, as if she didn't know what the other party was writing.
"Yes!" Li Zhi replied calmly.
Wu Meiniang tried to squeeze out a smile, and smiled as if she was playing with Li Zhi in the past: "The concubine is stupid, I don't know what crime His Majesty convicted the concubine, can you take a look?" ”
A touch of unbearability flashed in Li Zhi's eyes: "Don't look at it, you'll know tomorrow." ”
Wu Meiniang sighed, and internal force appeared in her palm.
Seeing this, Shangguan Yi hurriedly pressed the straw paper on the table.
Seeing that the paper was unsuccessful, Wu Meiniang was not easy to use, so she could only squeeze out a smile and asked: "Lord Shangguan, this palace has heard for a long time that you are brilliant in writing, and you are a model of Confucianism, can you let this palace take a look?" ”
Shangguan Yi pressed the table desperately, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
He knows best what he wrote, and there are several major sins in it, and the words are piercing, and they can even connect the nine clans, how can she not be angry when she sees it?
And looking at this appearance, the queen is still a person who practices martial arts, if he is angry from the heart, how can he live through tomorrow?
Bang!
Wu Meiniang raised her fingers and pointed on the table.
Rumble!
The table instantly scattered in all directions, and when she came back to her senses, the edict had already appeared in Wu Meiniang's hand.
Unexpectedly, Wu Meiniang looked respectful and read it silently from beginning to end, but her smooth face did not change at all.
On the contrary, after reading it, he praised Shangguan Yi and said: "My lord is worthy of being the first talent of Zhenguan, good article, good writing!" ”
Now that he was seen, Shangguan Yi didn't hide it, straightened up and stared at Wu Meiniang.
Wu Meiniang chuckled and said, "This palace wants to talk to Your Majesty alone, can Lord Shangguan go out for a while?" ”
Shangguan Yi glanced at Li Zhi and found that Li Zhi was always stunned.
If he goes out now, if His Majesty is not abolished, won't he have lost all his previous achievements, and then his position as prime minister may be in crisis, and his net worth and life will be worried!
"Your Majesty!" Shangguan Yi shouted.
Li Zhi nodded and motioned for him to go out.
Seeing this, Shangguan Yi had a premonition, but now that Wu Meiniang is still the queen, how can he say those words of reprimand to his face?
was helpless, and in the end he could only turn into a sigh and slowly retreat.
Wu Meiniang took a deep breath, whether outsiders were fueling the troubles or provoking persecution, this matter was between her Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi after all.
Wu Meiniang handed the edict to Li Zhi and asked softly, "Is Your Majesty really going to abolish me?" ”
"Yes." Li Zhi's answer was a little deep.
Wu Meiniang was slightly stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Why, is it just because of the ministers' recent words?" ”
"It's all written in the edict, look at it."
Wu Meiniang raised the edict: "The concubine has read it, but the concubine is not convinced!" Look at what he wrote, no virtue and no virtue, jealousy and hatred in the heart, what does this mean? ”
Li Zhi slowly closed his eyes: "You know it yourself." ”
"Clear?" Wu Meiniang said lightly: "According to what the concubine said, these are all fallacies, Your Majesty is like this, it should be for a woman, right?" ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Nonsense about concubines? So what's going on with Helan Minyue? She is the niece of a concubine, why did you summon her into the palace not long ago? ”
"You!"
Li Zhi was slightly stunned, Wu Meiniang found out?
Helan Minyue, the daughter of Mrs. Wu Shun of Korea, Li Zhi just glanced at it when he was looking for it outside the palace and couldn't forget it.
Wu Shun's beauty is acceptable, while Helan Minyue is a country and a city, young and beautiful, and for a long time, it is a very attractive existence for Li Zhi.
Helan Minyue has been instilled with an idea by Wu Shun since she was a child, that is, the capital to win the favor of men all over the world, the most direct is her beautiful appearance and young and bewitching body.
And most importantly, the desire to climb the powerful!
During Wu Meiniang's pregnancy, Helan Minyue succeeded and won Li Zhi's praise for her beauty, and she was also a scheming person, and when she felt that it was about the same, she claimed that the entire harem was afraid of Wu Meiniang, and Li Zhi was also afraid, and it should be abolished.
In everything, there is the shadow of Helan Minyue.
Wu Meiniang saw Li Zhi angry, and couldn't help but smile wryly.
Since ancient times, the emperor has always known that he is affectionate and inattentive, but when it falls on her, she still finds it difficult to accept.
Li Zhi didn't say the rest of the words for a long time, and finally could only turn around and say, "I decided to do this, not for this matter. ”
Since he was seen through, he Li Zhi would not hide it.
Wu Meiniang nodded, and continued to ask softly: "That thing is ruthless, what does it mean to clamp the harem?" ”
"What do you mean, you don't know?"
Wu Meiniang nodded, and her voice raised a point and said: "That's right, I am firmly in charge of the harem, but what the concubine did is not right?" If there are no concubines in the harem to help, how can Your Majesty take back the power from the eldest grandson Wuji? ”
"I admit that I have indeed done many cruel things, ruined and ruined, but those are the people who have sinned against us and offended my mother, there is revenge and revenge, what is my fault!?"
"At least that's better than driving people to death step by step in the dark!"
