Chapter 235: The Difficult Emperor (23)

Shangyang Palace, Guanfeng Palace.

In the early morning, before the Empress Wu got up, in front of the palace gate, the imperial heir Li Dan had already knelt all night, haggard and crumbling.

Xie Yaohuan entered the palace on duty, and when he saw this scene, he glanced at the palace maids who began to move around in the hall, no one glanced here, and no one spoke for this noble imperial heir.

It didn't take long for the hall to be brightly lit, and Wei Tuan'er, who was waiting closely, stepped out of the hall, saw Xie Yaohuan, and bent his knees and blessed, "Sister Yaohuan, Your Majesty has just risen, it is more convenient for you to re-enter with a stick of incense at night."

Xie Yaohuan seemed to be smiling, she knew these little things, but she didn't have to appreciate them, "Wei Niangzi is the official of Shanggong, and the imperial heir is kneeling outside the palace, if you don't report it to Your Majesty, I am afraid that it will be a dereliction of duty?" ”

Wei Tuan'er's heart suddenly, she restrained the palace maid to block the news at night, and she could also use the banner of not daring to disturb His Majesty's sleep, if His Majesty continued to conceal the news after waking up in the morning, I was afraid that it would be a crime, so I bowed down, "Thank you Sister Yaohuan for mentioning it, Tuan'er will go in with her sister to report later"

In the hall, the Empress Wu sat in front of the mirror, her expression was rare and apprehensive, she gently stroked her sideburns, there were stars dotted in it, and the skin on her face was slightly relaxed, she turned her eyes to look at a painting next to the mirror, the bright golden phoenix robe, the thrilling figure, the bulge on the chest was like jade and snow, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to do it again.

Closing her eyes and frowning, Quan Ce always said that she is a person from heaven, she will eventually descend the clouds and fall to the ground, she is a mortal after all, a mother, she will be angry because of her son's incompetence and cowardice, hurt her heart, and can't sleep all night, she doesn't believe that her son will curse herself with witchcraft, it is bound to be a villain in the East Palace.

But by contrast, she preferred that it was indeed her son's doing, or at least that he had finally grown teeth, like her child.

"Your Majesty, the imperial heir has been kneeling outside the palace all night, and it doesn't look very good, please show me" Wei Tuan'er reported indifferently.

Empress Wu's cheeks bulged for a moment, masochistic? Stupid to the extreme, the cold disposition turned around on the red lips, and finally swallowed back, "Send him back to the East Palace to think about it behind closed doors"

Wei Tuan'er listened to the order and retreated.

After a while, the Empress Wu was neatly dressed and her makeup was exquisite, and then she looked in the mirror, her figure was a little worse than the person in the painting, but her majestic momentum was far superior, "Yaohuan, the number of thousand horsemen is too small, you discuss with Lou Shide, expand to 10,000 horsemen, recruit soldiers, if there is any difficulty, then recruit from the right jade guard, and the right jade guard, so that Hou Sizhi will try to replenish again."

"The slave obeys the order, Your Majesty, the slave and maid are not talented and virtuous, and it is difficult to command ten thousand horses, please ask Your Majesty to ......" Xie Yaohuan's first reaction was to hand over the military power, and she gradually saw that the biggest use of her heart and mind for the big man was not to hold the military power, but to be close to His Majesty's side, so she could hand over the military power at any time, even if she was a sprinkling palace maid, it was okay, but she could not provoke His Majesty to dislike it because of the power.

"Poof" Empress Wu laughed out loud, noncommittal, and acted first.

Xie Yaohuan was at a loss in his heart, and followed closely behind, his brows furrowed.

When Empress Wu walked out of the main hall, Wei Tuan'er was helping Li Dan to leave, Li Dan was fat, weak, and walked very slowly.

Wei Tuan'er saw the figure of Empress Wu out of the corner of his eye, and the corner of his mouth was ruthless, "Tuan'er thanks His Royal Highness for not marrying"

Li Dan was in a drowsy, and when he heard this sarcastic and contemptuous words, he was like being struck by lightning, his body shook twice, and he fell to the ground with a bang, squirming hard, but he couldn't get up.

Empress Wu walked with brisk steps, walking beside him, her skirt fluttering lightly, brushing Li Dan's upturned face, with a faint fragrance.

Li Dan couldn't remember how long it had been, he hadn't had such close contact with the mother emperor, he gave up the struggle, and fell to the ground on his back, two lines of hot tears kept rolling down.

Wucheng Palace, Wu Hou Linchao.

After the affairs of the DPRK and China are disposed of, you sing and I will appear, the East Palace suffers, Wu Chengsi and others will naturally not let go, and they pounced, this time they learned to be obedient, after all, the imperial heir is the son of His Majesty, and the disposal power is only in the hands of His Majesty, the firepower is concentrated, and the imperial heir Liu, Concubine Dou and other relatives of the East Palace are crazy to swing the knife, and the emperor's attack has also improved.

This kind of scene, Empress Wu can see through it at a glance, with a soft smile, and looks at it coldly.

A winter official surnamed Wei Yamen Langzhong was involved, and he gave the emperor's heir a dark arrow.

The ease on Empress Wu's face disappeared.

Li Xian, Li Dan's elder brother, Li Xian, the king of Luling, joined the war group, not for his younger brother, but to take advantage of the east wind of the martial arts family, busy expanding his own power.

"It's really my good boy" Empress Wu's chest bulged high, she knew that Li Xian didn't have this ability, nor did she have this ruthlessness, and the one who was in charge must be the woman next to him who was like herself, and it was because of her that she abolished Li Xian's throne, but unexpectedly, he didn't know how to repent.

"The ministers of heaven and the yamen are selected to play in the Lang Cui Xiang" Cui Xiang came out at this time, "The court is in power, the virtuous are in their positions, and the talented are in their positions, and now the officials of all parties are empty, and I am afraid that there will be slackness in the government"

Empress Wu tugged at the corners of her mouth, still sober, "What do you think?" ”

Before the words fell, Qin Ke, the supervisor of Lintai, jumped out, "Chen Bao raised Xue Ji, Sima Xiao Zhizhong of Yuzhou, and Shi Liu Youqiu, the governor of Xiang"

The voice fell, and the court was quiet, Wu Sansi, a loyal dog, didn't he lose his mind and go crazy, how could all the people who were raised not have four or six people, whose people were they?

The first to support the "minister's secondment" was Yan Shansi, the official servant of Chun, "the minister Bao promoted Qiongzhou Master Zong Chuke, Qingyang ordered Lu Xiangxian, and Xiao County ordered Li Shangyin"

"The minister seconded the order of the supervisor and Yan Shilang" Wu Sansi seconded the proposal.

"The minister seconded the proposal" Ge Hui was also listed.

The court officials were shocked, so they saw two big figures, digested it for a long time, and gradually figured out that this was obviously an exchange of interests between Quan Ce and Wu Sansi, taking advantage of the time when Wu Chenghei and his party were attacking the city, they copied the back road and picked up the dead chicken.

It's just that Zong Chuke must be the person of Wu Sansi, there is no doubt about it, where is the person who has the right to policy?

Wu Chengsi has been deploying offense and defense, but he has neglected to protect his official position, and he is angry and thinks about it repeatedly, but he has no doubt, he doesn't know those people, how to hinder it? Impeachment of Wu Sansi and Quan Ce Peng for collusion? I'm afraid that if he doesn't die, the biggest friend of the DPRK and China is himself.

Empress Wu smiled, her eyes seemed to fall on Wu Chenghe, "If there is a sage in Chenghei, he can also play it, and I will approve it."

Wu Chenghe's heart and heart suddenly mentioned Lao Gao, hurriedly adjusted his expression, made a joyful gesture, and took the opportunity to recommend his henchman Zhang Jiafu to serve as the Fengge housekeeper, rescued Wang Qingzhi, who drank the northwest wind in Lintai, returned to Lantai, and was promoted to the palace servant, and the money was very good.

"Virtuous and capable, the responsibility of the courtiers, the princes are conscientious, public and selfless, and I am very comforted" Empress Wu is not familiar with the few people who have been promoted to the court, but her heart is like a mirror, this must be the right to fulfill her edict, laying the foundation for Princess Taiping, but it is a good time, the shape is forbidden, exquisite to the extreme, with his style of acting, there may be anyone here, but there can never be his own person.

Open and close, coil around the general trend, but be loyal and pure, it is really rare.

Empress Wu was worried in her heart, sighed, and stood up, "Give Liang King Wu Sansi Baibi Yugui, Xu Che with Zhu Lun Huahub, and reward his eldest son Chongxun as Shang Baocheng, and give him power...... Surname Wu"

Wu Sansi was overjoyed, and he was grateful, and Ge Hui led the decree on behalf of the power.

Some of the ministers are envious, some admire, and the most is admiration, Wu Chenghe's face can't maintain joy, it is as black as ink, and his heart is overturned, this is not just a matter of official position, there must be a political rhythm, and these two people are on target.

Night, Princess Taiping's Mansion.

Inside the incense, the jade arm is horizontal, and the heat after ** is steaming.

Cui Xiang came to the house to report the good news, Princess Taiping was in a good mood, she didn't need dinner, she pulled him on the bed and tossed for a while, she knew best that Xue Ji, Xiao Zhizhong, Liu Youqiu, and Lu Xiangxian were all her disciples.

After the excitement, I remembered that something was wrong, "That thief is not in the Shendu, how do you echo them?" ”

Cui Yu stood up, "Before the edict leaves, Shangguan will order us to obey Gehui District."

"In this way, then Li Shangyin is Shangguan Wan'er's person?" Princess Taiping narrowed her eyes.

Cui Xiang acquiesced.

Princess Taiping pondered with a calm face, Quan Ce spent a lot of effort to help herself, nothing to take, it was reasonable, she was not surprised at all, Wu Sansi rescued Zong Qinke's younger brother Zong Chuke from the land of Lingnan smoke miasma, and got two loyalty, he and Quan Ce acted all the way, combined with the thoughts of Empress Wu, and got a reward, which is the harvest he cares about the most.

Shangguan Wan'er also helped, but only one person was stuffed, where is her gain?

I'm afraid it's not on the bed of my favorite nephew?

Princess Taiping was depressed, and the joy of rebuilding her power in the court dissipated most of it.
