The atmosphere in the Linde Hall became extremely solemn, and the empress Wu Zetian was even more furious, and she started shooting the case!
"It's ridiculous. At the feet of the emperor, five court officials were killed. What makes me face? Do you have to wait until the murderer puts the knife on my neck before you can wake up?" Wu Zetian reprimanded!
His Majesty Dan’s civil and military officials were all panicked, all knelt to the ground, and said in unison: "Please calm down your anger. It is the negligence of the ministers, please punish your majesty!"
Wu Zetian was full of anger and reprimanded: "Cheng Jin, you are the Dali Temple Secretary. It has been nearly two months since the previous murder of the Anle princess, but you have no clue at all. Now the gods have committed such a bad murder. Don’t you feel ashamed of me?"
Although it is winter and the weather is cold, at this time, beads of sweat ooze from Cheng Jin's forehead, bowing himself down, and saying in fear: "Your majesty calms down your anger, your ministers are guilty, you deserve death!"
Wu Zetian did not speak, and looked at everyone under His Majesty Dan in anger. However, in her angry heart, she thought of a person, a person that she would think of at such a moment, but this person is now Not in the court, and he himself ordered the removal of his official position, Wu Zetian couldn't help feeling mixed in his heart, and whispered to himself: "Old stuff, have you really betrayed me?"
His Majesty Dan’s civil and military officials did not hear what Wu Zetian said, but the female officer beside Wu Zetian heard clearly, and naturally knew who Wu Zetian was talking about!
The elegant bird in the Linde Hall was silent and deadly silent. Liang Wangwu thought twice and said: "Your Majesty, although Cheng Jin, the Dali Temple Secretary, has been delayed, but the repeated murders in Beijing are not the responsibility of Master Cheng. Five officials in the court were killed. A thorough investigation by the Dali Temple is needed. The minister is willing to personally assist Master Cheng to capture the criminals and act as a guide!"
When Cheng Jin heard Wu Sansi's words, he couldn't help but glanced secretly, his eyes filled with gratitude!
Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi secretly raised his eyes to look at Wu Zetian, wanting to say something, but after thinking about it, he gave up. Zhang Jianzhi silently sighed in his heart, "Hey, it would be fine if Brother Huaiying was here!"
Wu Zetian saw a group of officials coming out of Wu Sansi, and everyone else was silent and at a loss for a while. After a while, Wu Zetian said: "Cheng Jin, you are the Dali Temple Clerk, and Qiu Guan's punishment is yours. In this matter, it is your duty to detect the murder of the gods. Since King Liang intercedes for you, I can give you another chance. This time the gods have lost five sages in a row. The ruling and the opposition are shocked. I will order you and King Liang. Join forces to handle this case expeditiously. If it is prolonged and in vain, I will punish it severely!"
Wu Sansi and Cheng Jin said in unison: "The minister waits for the edict!"
The early dynasty ended hastily like this. The hundreds of civil and military officials in the court quit the Linde Hall. On the way back to the mansion, all the officials were overwhelmed, especially the prime minister Zhang Jianzhi. After the dynasty was dispersed, Zhang Jianzhi did not return to the mansion directly. , But went to the former prime minister Yao Chong's mansion!
Not long ago, the prime minister Yao Chong resigned to Wu Zetian on the grounds that his mother was seriously ill. Although Wu Zetian was reluctant to give up, he was relieved of his position as prime minister. He just left the post of a minister in the royal palace and still led the salary. But he didn't participate in political affairs and allowed him to take care of his mother wholeheartedly!
The hundreds of officials dispersed, but Wu Zetian left Wu Sansi behind and drank back and forth. Wu Zetian said, "King Liang, are you convicted?"
Wu Sansi was panicked immediately and fell to his knees, "Your Majesty, the minister does not know what you have committed, please make it clear!" Wu Sansi kowtowed!
Wu Zetian sneered and said: "What a Liang Wang, you still don't tell the truth in front of me? Do you dare to say that Chen Ziqing, Qu Xing and their deaths have nothing to do with you? Do you think I don't know? Several of them have always been at odds with you. Come on, I really can't think of anyone else who would have such courage!"
Wu Sansi repeatedly bowed his head, even shed tears, and sobbed: "Your Majesty, the minister is really wronged? Please tell your majesty, the minister knows that there are some rumours about the minister in the court, saying that the minister is at odds with several adults, but your majesty, The minister knows that everything should be the most important thing, how can personal grievances make mistakes? Your Majesty is aware of it?"
Seeing Wu Sansi crying, Wu Zetian couldn't help but was quite moved. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, man, how decent you are crying and crying, get up and talk!"
Wu Sansi stood up slowly, wiped the tears from his face, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wu Zetian said grimly: "Does these five murders really have nothing to do with you?"
Wu Sansi bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to swear in front of your majesty. This case has nothing to do with the minister. It is because the court has always heard that I am at odds with several ministers, so the minister recommended himself to assist Dali Temple. Investigating this case proved the innocence of the minister. Of course, the minister was not completely selfish in doing this. The minister was worried that some people with ulterior motives would take this opportunity to be accused of being wronged by the minister, so the minister took the initiative to ask for it!"
Wu Zetian nodded and said: "The move of King Liang is reasonable, but the assassination of five court officials overnight is really incredible! King Liang, do you have any opinion?"
Wu San thought for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has not seen the scene yet.
Without detailed investigation, it is inconvenient to express opinions at this time, but after the minister's investigation, he will definitely give your majesty an explanation! "
Wu Zetian nodded and said: "Lang Wang, you are my nephew, and your words and deeds are my shadow. Don't make too many enemies in the court. If one day you make it difficult for me to choose, you know as a result of!"
Wu Sansi naturally understood the deep meaning of Wu Zetian’s words. Let alone his nephew, he was the prince Zhang Huai, who was Wu Zetian’s biological son. He was not forced to death by Wu Zetian. Wu Sansi has been around the emperor for many years and knows his companion. The risk of being a tiger is naturally much more sophisticated than others!
"Your Majesty, the minister must follow your majesty's teachings!" Wu Sansi said in a salute!
"Well, you can do it yourself!" Wu Zetian waved his hand!
Wu Sansi gave a deep ceremony and said: "The minister retire!"
At Yao Chong's mansion, the murder of General Zhang Jianzhi and the incidents in the court were told to Yao Chong. Yao Chong frowned deeply as he listened to Zhang Jianzhi's narration!
After a long silence, Yao Chong said: "This case is quite weird and bizarre. It would be fine if Brother Huaiying was here! I don't have to worry about it anymore!"
Zhang Jianzhi said: "Yuan Zhi is absolutely right! I don't think so, but now brother Huaiying is too busy to take care of himself, how can he manage the affairs of the gods, and even if we want to tell him about it , Where are we going to find him?"
Yao Chong said: "Brother Cambodia, don't you think that the officials killed are all related to King Liang's party?"
Zhang Jianzhi nodded slightly and said, "I also have this faint feeling, but there is one thing I can't figure out. Why did King Liang remove these people so frantically? If there is such a joint name for impeaching King Liang I think five people are normal, but there are no five people in the joint book? Besides, Wang Wang took the initiative to investigate the case this time. Isn't he afraid of being suspected of being called to catch the thief?"
Yao Chong was silent for a while, and said: "Brother Cambodia, I am afraid there is another hidden story in this matter. This King Liang has always come up with good things and hides when things happen. This time he is so proactive that there must be a ghost! I think we The case should also be closely investigated. Of course, we still have to find Elder Di Ge as soon as possible and inform him of the matter!"
Zhang Jianzhi nodded and said, "Okay! Brother Huaiying asked me to trust me when he was leaving, but I am afraid I will disappoint him this time!"
Yao Chong waved his hand and said, "Brother Cambodia, don't blame yourself. I believe that Mr. Di Ge will contact us after he escapes!"
