Standing on the high Vientiane Shrine, Wu Zetian saw with his own eyes that the sea of fire formed by the right guard soldiers Zhang Liang torches outside the Dingding Gate was quietly receding. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

She was surprised.

Originally, she wanted to be here, and see with her own eyes that the fierce general Gong Ren killed the group of unscrupulous people on the right guard, so that she could get a bad breath in her chest.

"Huayang, send someone down to see, what's going on?"

"The minister himself will go." Kudi was also surprised, and immediately left.

About an hour later, the Kudi clan brought Princess Taiping to Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian looked his daughter up and down, feeling as if he didn't know her anymore.

Princess Taiping stood with her eyebrows lowered and remained silent.

At this moment, the feelings in the hearts of the mother and daughter are equally complicated.

There is no need to ask in detail, Wu Zetian can already guess what happened in front of the Dingding Gate. The beautiful woman in front of her, she was once her most beloved pearl in the palm of her hand, and she was the Taiping princess of the Tang Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty in the previous dynasty. At the same time, she also has another important identity, Xue Shao's wife.

It has always been the case that the pony will be known to the world because he is married to a princess. But today, Princess Taiping, who has multiple identities, is in the name of Xue Shao's wife to prevent this upcoming mutiny.

In Wu Zetian's view, this seems to be very ironic. So she said, "I, should I be gratified, or should I be ashamed of myself?" ”

Princess Taiping has always known her mother, especially after some conflicts with her in recent years, this understanding has become more and more in-depth. At present, she understood the meaning of her mother's words very well, and she replied indifferently: "Your Majesty has always been a saint, and he has never been confined to small sections. The only thing Erchen thought about was to avoid this military disaster. It is good for the country and the country. ”

Wu Zetian chuckled, "This is true." ”

The atmosphere is almost stagnant, as if it has eased slightly. Kudi, who was standing on the side, didn't dare to breathe all the time, and only then did he quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

"How did you dissuade those mutinous soldiers?" Wu Zetian had to ask about it.

Princess Taiping said: "It's nothing more than a long talk with emotion and reason." What words were said in a hurry, Erchen couldn't remember a few words. ”

"Pick up the important ones." Wu Zetian was obviously not very satisfied with her perfunctory responsibility.

Princess Taiping pondered for a moment, and then had to say: "Erchen threw a shabby robe that the horse once wore under the city tower. When they saw things and thought about people, they quieted down and were willing to listen to their sons' chatter. ”

"Huh!" Wu Zetian chuckled again, the power of the emperor and the entire Great Zhou court is all combined, is it not as good as a shabby robe of Xue Shao?

Princess Taiping remained silent and continued: "The retainers persuaded each other with the friendship of the robe and the righteousness of the family and the country, and made a promise in front of them, and they promised to disperse and stop making trouble. ”

Wu Zetian's brows furrowed slightly, "What kind of promise?" ”

Princess Taiping said: "The retainers told them at that time that Your Majesty will be magnanimous and will forgive the mistakes made by the others in a moment of confusion. If you are still not at ease, please listen to the promise made by this palace - from now on, as long as Xue Shao and Princess Taiping are alive for a day, no one will use today's events to find your sins. ”

"Confused!" Wu Zetian was furious on the spot, "Who gave you the power to make such a promise?" ”

Princess Taiping took a deep breath, tried to stay calm, and said, "The arrow is ready to be sent." ”

Of course, Wu Zetian can think of Princess Taiping, which is also an expedient measure. But the promise she made was clearly buying people's hearts for Xue Shao, and putting herself, the emperor and the entire court of the Great Zhou, in a position of "singing black face".

Isn't this just an extrovert for girls?

This is simply "meritorious to oneself, there is a push for the king", which can be called bullying the king!

"Forceful rhetoric!" Wu Zetian was furious!

The Kudi on the side was stunned...... Shouldn't the emperor be happy? How could you suddenly be angry?!

Princess Taiping was also a little stunned, looking at her mother blankly.

It is true that she knows her mother. But she is far from understanding all the king's mental techniques in Wu Zetian's heart.

Of course, Wu Zetian will not make what he thinks in front of him, otherwise wouldn't it be obvious that his heart as a king is too narrow-minded?

With a wave of his robe, "Let's go!" ”

Princess Taiping's eyes widened, and she looked at her mother with a stunned expression, "Your Majesty, what did the son-in-law do wrong?" ”

"Stand down!" Shout!

The Kudi clan hurriedly came forward to persuade Princess Taiping, and almost pulled Princess Taiping away.

When she walked out of the Vientiane Shrine, Princess Taiping looked up at the Vientiane Shrine high above. All the grievances and unbitterness came to her heart, making her burst into tears.

"Your Highness, don't be sad." The Kudi clan didn't know how to comfort Princess Taiping, she just sighed and said, "Recently, everything has been worried, and Your Majesty's mood has been very bad, so this is ......."

Princess Taiping closed her eyes and shook her head self-deprecatingly, smiled, waved her hand again, signaled that the Kudi clan did not need to say more, and then boarded her carriage and quietly left.

The chaos was temporarily stopped, but a mutiny that almost engulfed the entire capital made Wu Zetian's mood unprecedentedly bad.

She believes that this mutiny of the right guard is the biggest trouble she has encountered since she ascended the throne. Although it did not make a big deal in the end, it left a bad impact even far more than the rebellion launched by Xu Jingye in Yangzhou back then.

Why?

Because Xu Jingye and others were originally Wu Zetian's "hostiles", and at the beginning of the uprising, they were only small roles, and their influence was not too great, and in addition, the location of the incident was also far away in Yangzhou. However, the right guard who provoked the rebellion this time was the meritorious division of the Great Zhou Dynasty, one of the main military forces defending the capital, and the "leader" of the Sixteen Guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Once, Wu Zetian only knew that the army of the right guard was invincible and invincible.

Now, she finally realized how righteous and unruly the soldiers of the right guard were!

General, the soul of the army.

The character of a general often determines the temperament of an army.

"It's his character. You can't go wrong! The more Wu Zetian thought about it, the more blocked his heart became, Xue Shao had taken the right guard for so many years, and now in the eyes of the right guard, it seems that there is no national law and no emperor, only the robe Ze is righteous and only recognizes Xue Shao and the general who led them.

"It's worth it!!"

Wu Zetian couldn't help but let out an angry shout, so frightened that Zhang Yizhi, who was just about to come over, trembled and knelt on the ground.

Wu Zetian came back to his senses, glanced at Zhang Yizhi who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Why did you kill Guo An without authorization?" ”

"Satsuri Rokuro." Zhang Yizhi replied simply.

Wu Zetian said: "Guo An has nothing to do with Liulang's death. ”

Zhang Yizhi gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "That's right, Guo An has nothing to do with Liulang's death. But if I don't do anything, how can I reassure Rokuro underground? Since His Majesty was reluctant to let the demon go to pay for Liulang's life, then I had to find another substitute for the dead ghost. ”

Wu Zetian's eyes narrowed slightly and he was silent for a moment, and said coldly: "This substitute for the dead ghost, it's so good!" ”

Zhang Yi was stunned, what do you mean?

"Say, who taught you?"

Zhang Yiyi's face was blank, "No one teaches." ”

Wu Zetian sneered, "Guo An and You'er were originally two unrelated people, but you can think of asking Guo An to be a substitute for You'er." What's the connection? ”

Zhang Yizhi replied without thinking: "Aren't they all close to Xue Shao?" ”

"Not honest yet!" Wu Zetian shouted, "Say, who instigated you to kill Guo An?" ”

Zhang Yizhi was stunned, his face turned pale, and his heart was even more panicked-he said that he had leaked his mouth!

"Right now, there are at least tens of thousands of people out there who want your head." Wu Zetian said coldly, "If you dare to play tricks in front of me, then I will simply hand you over." If it's one, it's hundred. ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Zhang Yi panicked, "It's King Liang!" King Liang taught me and let Guo An be the ghost's substitute for the demon! ”

"Wu, three, think!"

Wu Zetian gritted his teeth with hatred!

For Zhang Yizhi, Wu Zetian still knows the roots quite well. In a word, Zhang Yizhi is a frivolous boy who is greedy for fun and arrogant and ignorant. He is proficient in nothing more than music, dancing, eating, drinking, and merrymaking. In addition, like all young people, he is particularly fond of showmanship, and especially enjoys the compliments and sincerity of others. But when it comes to politics, he thinks he knows everything, but in fact he is confused.

"Killing Guo An" is such a big thing, even Wu Zetian doesn't dare to try it easily, but in Zhang Yizhi's opinion, he just asked him to make a "substitute for the dead ghost" for the demon, which is enough to prove that he is politically naïve and idiotic.

Zhang Yizhi can be an idiot, but Wu Zetian will never be possible.

At this moment, Wu Zetian, who was furious, still did not lose his mind, and he was secretly thinking in his heart: Wu Sansi had already formed a faction of his own, and even Zhang Yizhi could be used by him. He has always hoped that I will vigorously attack and even eradicate Xue Shao's party. Now, he instigated Zhang Yizhi to kill Guo An, which directly inspired the right guard mutiny this time. If it weren't for the sudden intervention of the Taiping to prevent the mutiny from expanding, the consequences of this event would have been unimaginable, and perhaps the entire god would have become a river of blood. Last time Zhang Changzong died, I tried my best to save the life of the demon and pressed it down with one hand without letting the incident expand, the purpose was to prevent me and Xue Shao from tearing their faces. However, the death of Guo An and the mutiny of the right guard made the relationship between me and the army more and more strained. The contradiction has completely surfaced. How can I cover it up? …… If one day I and Xue Shao really become incompatible, the two tigers will definitely be injured. At that time, the biggest benefit is Wu Sansi, who is hiding in the dark and waiting to reap the benefits!

This Wu Sansi is far more vicious than his dead brother Wu Chenghe. His ambition seems to be even greater! - Did he look forward to my early death day and night, so that he could usurp the throne as soon as possible?!

Thinking of this, Wu Zetian's heart was not only full of anger, but also added a lot of sadness and helplessness. She even had a feeling that everyone was betrayed and besieged.

"I don't even have a person to trust...... she sighed.

Zhang Yizhi hurriedly climbed in front of Wu Zetian, "Your Majesty, the ministers and ministers are absolutely loyal." If there is a lie, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! ”

Wu Zetian smiled bitterly, you may be quite loyal. But a loyal idiot is only an idiot after all. What can I do for it except for free time?
