The emperor's reply was not at all unexpected by Guo Yuanzhen, so he just stood with a disgraced face and stopped talking, only occasionally glanced at Prime Minister Di Renjie. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The prime minister of the cabinet, Cen Changqian was only one breath away from the dead, Lou Shide let go of Helong, Wu Sansi would never stand up and speak at such a critical moment, and even if he said it, the emperor would not listen. The new celebrity Zong Chuke has a lot to say, but this matter started because of Zhang Yizhi, and Zong Chuke has a very close relationship with Zhang Yizhi, so at the moment, he will not risk the world's condemnation to jump out to speak. At the moment, we can only hope that Di Renjie can turn the tide. Otherwise, if you are really killed by those angry right guard sergeants, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Coincidentally, Wu Zetian, who was in a rage, also glanced at Di Renjie a few times intentionally or unintentionally like Guo Yuanzhen. Guo Yuanzhen took this small action of the emperor into his eyes, and his heart suddenly lit up - it seemed that she was also waiting for Di Renjie's outstanding plan, or rather, waiting for Di Renjie to come and give her a step down.

If there is no tacit understanding between the emperor and the prime minister, it will be outrageous. What's more, Di Renjie has always been extremely smart, he immediately stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty is angry, please listen to the minister's words!" ”

"Speak." Wu Zetian waved his sleeves and made a very obvious action of "controlling anger".

"Your Majesty, the sergeant of the right guard no longer has the command of the commander, and the dragons may get out of control at any time without a leader. Moreover, they are now on the top of their heads, like a blazing fire. At this moment, any drastic actions or strong words taken by the imperial court against him are like adding fuel to the fire. Di Renjie said loudly, "Therefore, the minister thinks that even if His Majesty does not agree to their request, he can also refuse in a more polite way." ”

Everyone present heard the meaning of Di Renjie's words, and Wu Zetian even broke through in one sentence, "Are you letting me delay the army?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise." Di Renjie said, "Once the city gate is broken, the people will be killed, and the gods will be covered with dust. Such consequences, even if all the perpetrators are punished afterwards, will not help. ”

"It makes sense." Wu Zetian got off the donkey and asked, "I don't know the old man, what do you think?" ”

I don't know when Wu Zetian began to call Di Renjie "national elder" to show his extra respect. The court followed suit, and the words "Di Guolao" have long been heard like thunder.

Di Renjie said: "The minister suggested that the right guard generals such as Dang Jinbi who were detained in the prison be released first, and ordered them to come forward to pacify the right guard army." ”

"You mean, all the generals of the right guard?" Wu Zetian asked rhetorically.

Di Renjie hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Except, Guo Dafeng." ”

Wu Zetian pondered in his heart, Guo Dafeng's disrespectful remarks and suspected of rebellion were arrested and undeniable, and Dang Jinbi and others were only implicated, and the government and the opposition had already known about it. Di Renjie's location is reasonable.

Just as the emperor was still pondering, a voice suddenly sounded in a high-pitched voice, "Your Majesty, this move must not be!" ”

As soon as everyone saw it, Prime Minister Zong Chuke jumped out.

Wu Zetian frowned slightly, "Zong Qing, what do you think?" ”

Zong Chuke said: "Right now, the sergeants of the right guard have mutinied, and they have already rebelled against the imperial court. To put it bluntly, they are already a group of outlaws, otherwise they would not have done this. At this moment, if the imperial court returns Dang Jinbi and others, it just gives the leaderless right guard rebels a backbone, how is this different from letting the tiger return to the mountain? Therefore, the minister strongly opposed the release of the party Jin Bi and other criminal generals. The minister also suggested that the imperial court should make military deployments as quickly as possible to prevent contingencies. If it can be appeased, it is the best. If not, quickly extinguish the rebellion of the right guard! ”

"What the Zong Xianggong said is not true!" Di Renjie hurriedly said, "The sergeants of the right guard have indeed mutinied, but it is obvious that they are still guarding the final bottom line. Otherwise, they would have already begun to attack Dingdingmen. At this moment, if the imperial court sent troops to suppress it, it would inevitably drive them to a dead end. At that time, no matter who wins or loses, Luoyang, the god capital, will surely be a river of blood and a mountain of bones. My Great Zhou Dynasty will be greatly injured by this! ”

"What if Dang Jinbi and the others collude with the mutinous sergeants to rebel after they are released?" Zong Chuke asked-for-tat.

Di Renjie sighed lightly, "If you persuade Dang Jinbi and others with kind words and affection, maybe there will be good results." Even if it doesn't work out, the situation won't get any worse. ”

"With such luck, how can you turn the tide?" Zong Chuke took a step forward and bowed his hand, "Your Majesty, please immediately dispatch the army to Dingdingmen to prevent accidents!" ”

Di Renjie hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, even if you want to take precautions, you must not transfer the army directly to Dingdingmen!" Otherwise, the war is about to break out, and the consequences are unimaginable! ”

Zong Chuke's voice was even louder, "Your Majesty, when you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it!" ”

"Your Majesty, let Di take Dang Jinbi to Dingding Gate together!" Di Renjie also raised his voice, as if he shouted, "If it doesn't work, let them take Di Renjie first to sacrifice the flag!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the room was silent.

Zong Chuke was silent. It's not that he really has no reason to say anything, Di Renjie doesn't even dare to take his life, what else can he fight with him?

Wu Zetian's eyebrows were furrowed, he looked at Zong Chuke, and then at Di Renjie, still thinking and pondering.

At this time, a weak voice sounded, "Your Majesty, it's better for the minister to go again and go to Dingdingmen to find out, right?" ”

Wu Zetian raised his eyes and saw that it was Guo Yuanzhen. She asked, "What are you probing?" ”

Guo Yuanzhen said: "The minister told them that the imperial court promised to let General Jinbi and others come back first." Other matters will be discussed later. The minister believes that even if they don't agree to evacuate immediately, at least it won't get worse, so stabilize them first. ”

When Wu Zetian heard this, this compromise seemed to be feasible. So she nodded.

Guo Yuanzhen hurriedly went again.

In the middle of the night, the emperor and his ministers remained in the Vientiane Shrine, without any intention of retreating. The sergeant of the right guard also raised a torch and gathered in front of the Dingding Gate, looking tense.

Guo Yuanzhen went to Dingdingmen to affirm the attitude of the imperial court and persuaded the soldiers of the right guard, and finally reached a preliminary verbal agreement with them. The sergeant of the right guard promised that if he could see General Dang Jinbi, the rest of the matters would be discussed.

Guo Yuanzhen was relieved and hurriedly went back to report to the emperor.

When he returned to the Vientiane Shrine, he was stupid.

Just last night, Dang Jinbi died. But no one murdered, he hanged himself in prison.

Why Dang Jinbi committed suicide is not particularly important at the moment.

The important thing is, where can those right guard sergeants still believe that Dang Jinbi died by suicide?!

Guo Yuanzhen had nothing to say. Di Renjie and Zong Chuke also stopped arguing.

Inside the Danqi, the crows are silent.

Wu Zetian, who was over seventy years old, stayed up all night, his face was gray, his eyes were black, and his white hair seemed to have increased, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.

Quietly, after a long time.

The ministers finally arrived at the empress and muttered four words, "Mobilize troops and quell the rebellion." ”

"Your Majesty, where are the soldiers?" Guo Yuanzhen asked eagerly.

Wu Zetian glanced at Guo Yuanzhen.

Guo Yuanzhen also happened to look up at the emperor.

Just this pair of eyes, Guo Yuanzhen suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

Killing Intent!

That's a strong killing intent!

Guo Yuanzhen clearly noticed that the emperor was not only distrustful of him, but moved with killing intent!!

"On Gong Ren!" Wu Zetian snorted.

"The minister is here!" General Yulinwei, who rarely spoke up in the court, stood up on Gongren.

All eyes were on it, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty stared at this world-famous tiger general who came from the plateau.

"I order you to lead all the soldiers and horses of the Right Yulin Guard to Dingdingmen to quell the rebellion." Wu Zetian said, "From now on, all the soldiers and horses in Shendu, Xijing and Guannei will be subject to your own punishment." No one can give you orders but me. ”

"Your Majesty, this! ......" On Gongren was directly stunned. He looked at Prime Minister Di Renjie and Zong Chuke, and then at Guo Yuanzhen, the Xia official waiter who had just returned to the "leader Xia Guan", and he really felt like he was on pins and needles.

"I've made a decree." Wu Zetian's voice sank, "Wait, do you want to resist the decree?!" ”

"Don't dare!"

Wu Zetian waved his sleeves violently, "Then let's go!" ”

……

Dawn.

The trumpets rolled and the iron armor roared, and the gods who had not slept all night fell into unprecedented horror again.

Tens of thousands of forest guards, who were originally guarding the imperial palace, drove out of the imperial city and marched in line towards Dingding Gate. All the troops such as the prison guards, the Jinwuwei and the Qianniuwei were dispatched to defend the palace or the city under martial law.

All the field troops stationed around Luoyang, except for the right guard Luoshui army, began to assemble. Among them, Zuo Yuchaowei, led by Koji Chongyu, moved the fastest, and he has been leading the troops for routine winter training recently, and he has already been ready to "counter the rebellion" before the order of the imperial court is issued. As soon as the order arrived, the tens of thousands of horse infantry soldiers under his command had already driven to the vicinity of Dingding Gate, cut off all the retreat routes of the right guard sergeants first, and made a situation of outflanking and besieging.

The frame is so obvious, no matter how stupid the sergeants of the right guard are, they can see that the imperial court is going to "turn its face".

"Brothers, there's no choice!"

"The fish is dead and the net is broken!"

"The jade is burning!"

For a while, the group of people who had just eased up a little became agitated.

In front of Dingding Gate, the war was about to break out.

It's been a long time since Gong Ren has been like this, and he has been at the forefront of the team with a silver python in his hand riding a black green horse, fully clothed. Hearing the huge movement of the city gate in front of him, he slowly raised the long lance in his hand with frowns, and drank in his mouth, "Open the city ......!" ”

"General, slow down!!"

Suddenly, a woman's voice interrupted Gong Ren's order. Everyone turned their heads in surprise to see a woman stepping out of a carriage.

If the big street is bustling with traffic in the past. Today, there is nothing but armor and sword-wielding sergeants and snorting horses.

This carriage is resplendent in gold.

This woman is purple and red.

It's like, a little red in the greenery.

On Gongren hurriedly put away his weapon, turned over and dismounted, and hugged his fists to worship.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, how did you come here?!"
