Crown Tang emperor

Chapter 0314 branches and crowns are growing, protecting neighbors

In the side hall of the Upper Pavilion in the Forbidden Center, Lai Junchen waited nervously for His Majesty the Holy Emperor to summon him. As time passed quietly, he became more and more panicked.He regarded himself as the confidant of His Majesty the Holy Emperor's minion, and he never had so many difficulties and twists and turns when he asked to see him.

Feeling like sitting on pins and needles, it is natural to think about countermeasures.Taking advantage of the maids' inattention, he raised his hand and pushed hard on his chest. He gasped in pain, but he also pulled the welt wound under the gauze to rupture again, and blood slowly seeped out. , and soon even the robe on the chest was stained with blood.

Feeling miserable enough, Lai Junchen raised his hand in satisfaction, wiped the cold sweat from his brow tremblingly, and at the same time cursed the doctor who treated him inwardly, what are you doing so hard?The injury is almost healed, so how can he behave miserably in front of His Majesty the Holy Emperor?When you leave the palace, clean up this guy!

After a long while like this, Lai Junchen finally waited until the servant girl announced that His Majesty the Holy Emperor had called him in, and then he stood up tremblingly while supporting the case, and motioned to the eunuch beside him to come forward to help him, and climbed up slowly step by step. Xishang Pavilion hall.

After entering the palace, he didn't dare to be so rude again, and bowed his head forward, with a distorted expression on his face.This was not a pretense, the wound had been torn open by himself, and now when he was walking, the scabbed gauze pierced the wound, which was naturally very painful, and the blood stains oozing from the robe became more and more conspicuous.

When he arrived in the hall, Lai Junchen slightly raised his head to see the expression of the Holy Emperor, and when he saw the empress frowned, he felt warm in his heart, slowly bowed down and said in a hoarse voice: "Chen, Lai Junchen, kowtow, kowtow to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me for my misdemeanor and disrespect."

Wu Zetian said in the hall: "Since I know that I can't behave properly, I can rest at home and recuperate at home. I have been to the palace several times. Is it because I am worried that I will not lose my dignity enough?"

When Lai Junchen heard this, he was startled. He breathed in and opened his mouth to speak, but the airflow hurt his throat. He couldn't help coughing again and again, and he spit out a few mouthfuls of blood clots. His face was as pale as paper. This time, there was no need to pretend, and it was miserable enough.

Seeing this scene, Wu Zetian also raised his hand to let the palace maid come forward to visit, while Lai Junchen suppressed his rebellion, kowtowed and cried: "Your Majesty, I am just an ant in my house. Fortunately, I was selected by Your Majesty and given the heavy responsibility of punishing and prosecuting. Heaven’s grace is so great, I dare not forget it even for a moment... But I serve you loyally and diligently, without fear of criticism from the masses. I intended to donate my talent and my life to His Majesty, but I didn’t want my life to be lost, and instead, misfortune would happen..."

Hearing Lai Junchen's mournful cry, Wu Zetian's eyes fluctuated slightly, but after a while they became cold and severe again, and turned to coldly snorted: "If you act within the law, will the masses condemn you? Who is the King of Hedong? ?The emperor's long-term support, the handsome young man who was eagerly awaited by his parents, is your valiant minister who can touch it with selfish desires? Even if you don't pay attention to your own faults, even if you consider preserving the reputation of benevolence and righteousness for the young king, you shouldn't describe it as ruined Standing in front of others!"

When Lai Junchen heard this, he was even more frightened. He thought that even if His Majesty the Holy Emperor deliberately shielded King Hedong, he would give him some comfort, but he did not expect to encounter such harsh accusations.

Wu Zetian continued in the hall: "Since you know that you came from a humble background, how many people are there in the world, and how many people are there? Isn't it right to be loyal and diligent? Donate your talents and make meritorious deeds. The imperial court rewards you. A lot! So much kindness, not only can't make you cautious and encourage yourself, but it has nourished your arrogance. Even my relatives and disciples dare to try to blackmail them. With such a heart, how much can you feel grateful? If blackmail doesn't work, you must You clamored to kill the whole family of Wang, and my relationship with you was cut off with one word!"

"Chen. No... I dare not, I really didn't make such harsh words... Yes, it's the King of Hedong, I beg Your Majesty to clarify, I really didn't..."

Under repeated questioning, Lai Junchen no longer cared about selling miserably or attacking the King of Hedong, and repeatedly pleaded that he had been wronged.

But who can he trust in his defense?If I didn't know for certain that it was King Hedong who framed him, I'm afraid I wouldn't believe it.

"I am still willing to see you today because I think that you have done well in the past."

Wu Zetian raised his hand, asked someone to fetch the old clothes of King Hedong, threw them in front of Lai Junchen, and said coldly: "This matter, I will leave it to you to police yourself. Step back, and go to the Criminal Division to wait for judgment."

Of course Lai Junchen didn't want to step down, but an eunuch came to the palace and dragged him out of the palace.

At the same time as Lai Junchen entered the palace, Wei Tuan'er also hurried into the leisure garden where Li Tong lived, and shouted: "My lord, it's not good, His Majesty the Holy Emperor summoned Zhongcheng to enter the palace to express his feelings..."

Hearing this, Li Tong was not overly surprised. He put down the scroll in his hand, pointed to the herbal tea on the desk, and signaled Wei Tuan'er, who was already sweating all the way, to drink tea to quench his thirst.

Wei Tuan'er sat down and picked up the teacup, and after panting for a while, he still couldn't help persuading him: "I have served the imperial court for a long time, and I often come to Junchen to speak evil words, and now he is going to the palace to express his feelings, the king still has to guard against it."

After Li Tong heard the words, he said with a smile: "He is a prisoner with narrow affairs. Even if he speaks evil words skillfully, it only reveals his ignorance and superficiality. If I am panicked by this, I will not be able to appreciate the profoundness of the Lord's favor. It's my clumsy thought that I failed His Majesty's tolerance and care."

After Wei Tuan'er heard the words, his big eyes fluttered, but he was full of puzzlement, but his mood stabilized because of this, and he blushed again and said: "The concubine's human situation is really shallow, I just ask the king to tolerate it." Stupid."

After Li Tong heard the words, he raised his finger and pointed to the bag of dew on his waist, and said with a smile: "A little love, a little reward. In the past, I was just a small plant that was not in the world. If it weren't for many Good care, it is rare to grow strong so far. Now that the branches and crowns are growing, of course, we must also protect the people around us. Right now, Mrs. Wei still has the monarch's kindness to rely on, so for the time being, she should be careful to keep this, and there is no need to worry about future plans. There is a long-lasting love.”

Hearing this, Wei Tuan'er's beautiful eyes glowed, and soon she was about to shed tears: "The concubine is just a lowly figure among household slaves. Under the shade, she can have an inch of land to accommodate her, and she will have no regrets for the rest of her life... Please, my lord. Don't worry, I know I'm incompetent, but I'll keep my sense of proportion and never provoke the King of leisure!"

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the corridor again, Wei Tuan'er hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and turned sideways to avoid going out.The person who came was another palace official, who was ordered by the queen to reward the young king with new clothes. As for the whereabouts of the old clothes that had been worn into the palace, he naturally gave a brief explanation in his words.

In the room, Wei Tuan'er couldn't help but smile in surprise when he heard this.

Although Li Tong got up to thank him, he was actually a little excited. He didn't care about Lai Junchen's honor or disgrace.But his grandma's attitude towards Lai Junchen showed that she was definitely on his side in this matter alone, and it showed that all the things he had done recently had indeed made his grandma value him more.

In fact, Li Tong has a deep understanding of this point recently, but it is not as clear as this matter.His grandmother's concern for him recently is not only reflected in his daily life, but also revealed some details of government affairs to him. This should be to train him as a government assistant, not just a person who can only do things. Little grandson for fun.

Li Tong's various strategies recently have really risen to the height of state affairs, especially in terms of finance.From the early Tang Dynasty to the reign of Emperor Gaozong, the founding dividends were gradually consumed.

In the Wu Zhou period, the turbulence of the current situation became more frequent, which doubled the internal friction. How the country should move forward was also something Wu Zetian had been thinking about in his heart.

In the original history, she was busy consolidating her position during the Gaozong period, fighting with ministers and her son.After Gaozong's death, he has been busy acting on behalf of the Tang Dynasty.Even if the success of the Tang Dynasty is achieved, Li Wu will have to face Li Wu's seizure of the throne, as well as the overt or covert attempts of the ministers to restore the Tang Dynasty.In this way, he stumbled and survived until the Shenlong Years.

As a political figure, Wu Zetian's life can be described as an extreme. Since she stepped into this current situation, she has been immersed in the disputes of wrestling with people's hearts.Although there is no shortage of attempts, in the end, a clear path forward has not been found.

Li Tong's recent discussions on national affairs can be said to completely cover the various attempts and explorations of financial talents in the Kaiyuan and Tianbao periods, and even after the Anshi Rebellion. The rhetoric has a high feasibility, and it can be said that once it is implemented seriously, it will surely achieve results.

For Wu Zetian, there was naturally a kind of clarity like seeing the sun through the clouds.

For Lai Junchen, who humiliated himself, Li Tong really wanted to say: You guys are just devoid of conscience, but I have already forgotten all the classics, how can I compare?No match at all!

Of course, considering Lai Junchen's perverted life experience, he couldn't sell his ancestors even if he wanted to. It's not a question of whether his ancestors are worthless, but that he was sold before he was born.

But I have to say that Lai Junchen's adoptive father is true love for him, and his broken name is a sensitive word, so it's not bad to name his son.When it comes to responsibility, it's still higher than Li Tong and his father's litter of chicks.

However, Li Tong's psychological advantage could not be maintained for too long. When the final result of this case came out, he deeply realized how good his grandma's ability to torment people is.

Chapter 0315 wins the king, becomes the head of Guizhou

The dispute between the King of Hedong and Lai Junchen is quite touching, and Du Jingjian, the Shaoqing who is in charge of reasoning the case, naturally attracts a lot of attention.

Since the queen came to court, she has used cruel officials to create unjust prisons, which is already a label.Therefore, all the courtiers related to the criminal department often give people a bad impression, but not all criminals are capable of cruelty.

During the Tianshou period, Du Jingjian, Xu Yougong, Lai Junchen, and Hou Sizhi were all in charge of the prison system. There was a proverb in the past that those who met Xu and Du would live, and those who met Lai and Hou would die.

Although the criminal order itself is deterrent, and kindness does not mean due diligence, but in such an atmosphere, these two people can not blindly cater to their wishes, and they can not lose mercy under the power of the criminal order, which shows that they have fair straight side.

However, because the case was too high-profile, Du Jingjian was also under a lot of pressure.The case itself is not complicated. After all, it happened in a public place under the watchful eyes of the public. The pressure Du Jingjian was under was mainly due to favors from people outside the case.

As soon as his incident happened, there were many people from the government and the opposition rushing to tell each other, and some people were waiting on his way home, shouting loudly that he hoped that he would uphold justice and solve the almost cancer-like situation in one fell swoop based on this case. Junchen.

Since Lai Junchen joined the army, he paved his way up with blood and life, so naturally he had many enemies and accumulated grievances.So when someone is involved in a crime, there are countless people who want to put him to death.Some people even went straight to Du Jingjian's mansion, stabbed his face bleeding, and expressed that as long as Du Jingjian could get rid of Lai Junchen, he would be a slave for life.

Of course, apart from Lai Junchen, the King of Hedong also provoked many human affairs.It's just that compared to Shiliu's grievances against Lai Junchen, the complaints about Hedong King are more complicated.

The reputation of the King of Hedong is not weak. As soon as he returned to the capital, he attracted a lot of people to welcome him, and even wanted to marry him as a daughter.But when those favoritism issues reached Du Jingjian's ears, Du Jingjian was greatly surprised by the result.

He originally thought that most of those people should be begging for the King of Hedong, but in fact, not many people really begged for the King of Hedong, hoping to be tolerant, but there were many voices hoping that Du Jingjian would not be afraid of the king's power and human feelings. Harassment, deal with it impartially.

As a judge, it is his duty to deal with matters impartially, which goes without saying.But Du Jingjian still couldn't help being a little surprised, why Shi Liu's attitude towards King Hedong was so inconsistent.

It wasn't until Xue Jichang from Xijing delivered the files related to Xijing to Sixing Temple, the capital of the gods, that Du Jingjian read some disputes between the King of Hedong and the Dou family in Guanzhong, and then he gradually understood, and he couldn't help but sigh.The world is changing, and people are surly. As a branch of the Li family, it is always difficult to avoid making things difficult, even if the King of Hedong is a young king who has a holy family.

It was difficult for both parties involved to ask questions, and Lai Junchen refused because of his injury, even though he traveled to the imperial city every day to ask to visit the queen.As for the King of Hedong, he lived in the forbidden area, and it was difficult for foreign ministers to see him.

Putting aside the distractions of human feelings, Du Jingjian also pondered for a long time about how to judge the sentence, and waited until the Zhengshitang urged him several times before submitting his opinion.

For such a specific case, naturally, the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall of Wulai personally intervened, and the reason for the repeated urging was to speak out on behalf of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, so after Du Jingjian's verdict was handed over, it was quickly approved.

Regarding Lai Junchen's verdict, the case alone is not enough to die.But Du Jingjian also made the heaviest sentencing within the rules, and sentenced him to be exiled to Aizhou, thousands of miles to the southwest.

However, in His Majesty's reply, he followed the old work and moved the exile land to Jiangzhou. It can be seen that Junchen still did not give up completely in the future, and directly shortened the exile distance several times.

Du Jingjian naturally couldn't accept this, and was going to appeal again, thinking that even if he wanted to transfer his achievements, he would at least leave the Lingnan Road where Junchen was exiled.

However, when he saw the sentence about King Hedong, he couldn't help being taken aback, and even went straight to Li Zhaode, Prime Minister of Zhitang, and asked, "Is the sentence too heavy? Although King Hedong is indeed guilty, it is not so serious." ..."

Of course, Li Zhaode had seen the reply from His Majesty the Holy Emperor. Facing Du Jingjian's inquiry at this time, he just said: "The talents of the King of Hedong are precious, and there is still a place for them. Except for the matter, it is the waste of the talents of the famous king. It is one thing and two punishments." .”

Speaking of this, he took the verdict again, pointed to the part about Lai Junchen, and said: "As for Lai, the crime is not limited to this case. A few days ago, he lost his official appearance and drove in the imperial city. If you can't get him involved in the case for questioning, send the case back to the provincial Mid-Autumn Festival official and submit it to the Political Affairs Hall, and I will try it myself!"

When Li Zhaode talked about this, he was somewhat dissatisfied. The day before yesterday, he planned to arrest Lai Junchen directly on Nanxing Road, but he was disturbed by other trivial matters. When he turned his head, Lai Junchen had already closed the door.

Although he is the prime minister, all the divisions in the southern province have their own regulations, and he cannot directly exceed his authority to intervene in the subordinates' affairs, but he is already very dissatisfied with Du Jingjian's conservative behavior in words.

It is conceivable that Du Jingjian was in a bad mood after being reprimanded by the prime minister. He didn't want to take over the case at first, but since the matter happened to him, if he couldn't handle it properly and had to submit it to his superiors, it would be a big stain in the annual exam .

Although Du Jingjian is still trying to decide whether the sentence should be severe or not, His Majesty's relevant approval has already spread.The two people involved are both high-ranking, and they cannot be judged in full accordance with the criminal law. Since His Majesty the Holy Emperor has publicly stated his position, it is basically considered a conclusion, and there will be no further changes.

Lai Junchen's exile in Jiangzhou naturally made people dissatisfied, and felt that the sentence was too light.But it can't be said that he is completely disappointed, at least this guy was kicked out of the court, and he will no longer stare at the officials in the court like a poisonous snake, which can also let the leaders of the southern province breathe a sigh of relief.

The relegation of Junchen is also a signal in itself, which means that His Majesty the Holy Emperor no longer indulges these cruel officials as much as before.Therefore, there are many people gearing up both inside and outside, ready to take advantage of this momentum to besiege other cruel officials who are still in the court.

As for the King of Hedong, he has been in the confinement recently, and the details of his relationship with His Majesty the Holy Emperor have actually been passed on through some channels.

However, when King Hedong's verdict was made, it was still surprising, and he felt more and more unpredictable: King Hedong was directly confiscated and dismissed from the official position of Li Shaoqing!

Such a punishment is not insignificant.The King of Hedong is not only a branch of the Li family, but also a grandson of His Majesty the Holy Emperor. Even if he beats the Minister of Xiantai in the street, the punishment should be mainly admonishment, such as cutting the city, cutting the rank, fined the salary, dismissed the official and so on.If it rises to the point where you need to seize the title directly, it is almost a heinous crime such as treason.

Originally, Du Jingjian's verdict was that the King of Hedong was young, impatient, inexperienced, and improperly appointed as an official.

When Du Jingjian made this judgment, although he was fair, he also had some support for King Hedong, who had few branches.

In his opinion, the young king is already sensitive in his background, once he is in the middle of the matter again, the situational disputes will inevitably double, and if he can avoid it once, he will not be able to avoid it twice.

However, His Majesty's additional punishment was too harsh, not only depriving him of his position, but also his title, so that people doubted whether the news that was circulated in the previous ban was true.

Not to mention the noise from the foreign court, Wu Zetian was busy with other affairs after releasing the approval to the foreign court.

One day after finishing the government affairs, Zhuan ordered the palace officials to summon the young king to enter the palace. The palace officials left and returned shortly after, but told the young king that he was sick and depressed, and he dared not infect His Majesty with his sickness, so he did not Come.

After Wu Zetian heard the words, he said with a smile: "This kid is still practicing drums during the day, and now he is sick? After being severely punished like this, can he not be bored? Wan'er went to tell him that if he came to the palace, he would have the ability to guide his energy." Yan, if you don't come, just pack up and return to the mansion."

Shangguan Wan'er took the order and went out, walked all the way to Xianyuan, walked into the pavilion, and saw the young king sitting and tuning the piano, without looking up at her.

She took a step forward and told the Holy Emperor's words, but seeing that the young king's expression did not change much, she couldn't help but said softly: "Your Majesty has such a background. Now, why worry about the present and the future."

After Li Tong heard the words, he snorted: "If you don't want to be an official, you should be called this. The small people are already the head of Guizhou, humble and weak, and the rain and dew can't help it, let alone the majestic grace. If you are chased by words and dare not wait, this is far away from the Chen. Let me live in the wild. Please make such a report, and please give me the talisman of leaving the palace."

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help being stunned for a moment when she heard this, but seeing that Young Wang Yan was extremely resentful, but her expression was still calm and her mood was a little stable, so she turned around and left.

Looking at the back of Shangguan Wan'er leaving, Li Tong's expression turned depressed.Of course he understood Shangguan Wan'er's persuasion, but after being teased like this, it was inevitable that he felt grudges in his heart, and he was full of resentment towards his grandma: You old woman doesn't treat her grandson as someone, and I treat you so well, but you Play me like this!

Of course, he dared to play with his temper like this, because his feelings had reached this point.Crying babies have milk to drink, and Wu Chengsi fell ill once while in confinement, and even the emperor's chariot was able to sit on it.It's too humble for me to be beaten like this and not respond.If you have no tolerance for me, how can the relationship continue?

Shangguan Wan'er went to report, and after Wu Zetian heard the words, she frowned slightly, and after pondering for a while, she took out a copy from a pile of imperial edicts that had been drawn up on the side of the case and handed it to Shangguan Wan'er, and said: "Send Go and show him, if he still doesn't come, then go home and continue to be bored."

Not long after, Li Tong took the imperial edict from Shangguan Wan'er, opened it, and the corners of his mouth trembled, and then felt that his emotions were too revealing, making him appear shallow, and after controlling his expression, he followed Shangguan Wan Behind him he trotted towards the hall.

Chapter 0316

Sitting in the hall, Wu Zetian saw the young king approaching the hall, and said with a sneer, "Children have the ability to take care of themselves. It's only a short time, and the sullenness has dissipated?"

When Li Tong heard this sarcastic remark, he couldn't help but slander, but when he thought of the imperial edict in his arms, forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as you.

He stepped forward to pay respects and said respectfully: "Your servant, Xiaomin really feel the pain of being depressed, but thinking of your loved ones, Yin Nian asks frequently, so he dare not avoid it for a long time, so he can only force him to kowtow."

While speaking, he also coughed twice.

Seeing his appearance, Wu Zetian couldn't help waving his hands and laughingly reprimanded him: "Okay, I know you are upset, so you don't have to be disgusted. If you don't think about the joys and sorrows of Siamese people, how can you have any kindness?" I feel the thirst of the common people in the world. Seizing the title is only for a short period of time, so that you can do things according to the situation. Using things to accumulate customs is not as obvious as the king's dedication to serving people and ministers."

These words are not false, the general clan princes seldom serve as the second official of the Baisizuo, they are either governors of other states, remote chief shepherds, or officials of southern provinces.Even if the seniority is still young, there are relatives and guardians or enshrined in Taiwan Province, and generally there is no superior with a very clear relationship.

For example, Lintai Shaojian and Si Li Shaoqing, who Li Tong served before, although on the surface it seems that there are senior officials like Dajian and Daqing on their heads.

However, Shaoqing himself belongs to the general judge, that is, he can fully handle all the matters judged and report directly to the king or the political affairs hall.

Unable to be king anymore, Li Tong was naturally full of resentment, but the reason why the resentment dissipated so quickly was of course that his grandma gave him practical benefits.In the imperial edict passed on by Shangguan Wan'er earlier, he was appointed as Luantai to Shizhong.

The rank given by Luantai is five ranks. In terms of rank alone, it is naturally not as expensive as the fourth rank like Li Shaoqing, the boss. But when it comes to power, it is not 01:30 points.

Gishizhong belongs to the group of admonishers, and is also the most prominent among them.The so-called serving left and right, dividing judgments saves trouble.Under the counter-refutation of Baisi's memorandum, up to the king's imperial decree.Can review all matters of criminal and prison, and can review the selection of civil and military classics.Play the envoys and inspect the collection.Ask about everything big and small.

It is a bit false to say so, but to be more precise, it is the most important right of refutation in the lower province of Luantai Gate. It is given to the person who is directly responsible for the matter. The Minister of Luantai made a reply.

In other words, in the future, if I don't like the affairs of the court, I can get in my mouth!

The young ministers of various temples may be dignitaries, but the power of affairs is only concentrated in the main office of the temple.If it is said that the position in the matter is to be exchanged for the position of Shaoqing, I believe that there are very few people who will not change.Although the rank in the matter is not high, the way is wide.The reason why a minister can become a general and a prime minister is not just because of his qualifications. The experience of this kind of key position is an important part of his qualifications!

Li Tong brags that he is a prime minister, but he also understands that this is just a talk. It is more difficult for him to become a prime minister than to be an emperor.And if he is still the original King Hedong who is not embarrassed, the possibility of being awarded this position is very slim.

Although his grandma won his title, she placed him in such a key position in the matter. The so-called cultivation is no longer just talk, but has been implemented in action.

Even regardless of whether the power is important or not, assuming such a key pivotal position in the matter will allow him to have a deeper and more detailed understanding of the various detailed procedures for the customization and implementation of imperial decrees, instead of just a superficial experience .

Otherwise, when he wants to learn about this, unless he is serving as a supervisor.But that was impossible, not to mention that his grandma, his uncle, including those distant relatives of the Wu family and ministers of various factions did not agree, nor did he himself.

Supervising the country?I'm a fart, I've messed up to this point, and I still don't raise my arms to do it myself.

Seeing the grandson winking at the banquet and suppressing his joy, Wu Zetian was also quite moved.Although she made such an arrangement, she was still hesitant in her heart, and she didn't know whether such an arrangement would be good or bad for the current situation and the young king.

But the talent shown by this kid really made Wu Zetian appreciate it a lot. Right now, it's still superficial, and he already has quite a deep and long-term strategy for everything.If he can practice it, it can be said that he is not inferior to all the famous ministers known for their talents in modern times.

Wu Zetian is still very confident about his own vision of seeing people.But the only thing that made her hesitate to decide was the sensitivity of this kid's identity.It's not about Wu or Li. After all, no matter Li or Wu, they are always her own grandson. What she worries about is that this kid may have no place to accommodate him in the future.

Before that, she would confide in the recent discussions with the young king to the prime ministers in the political affairs hall. Without revealing the young king's conspiracy, the prime ministers naturally gave different praises.But when she brought out the young king's words, her reactions were different.

The change in the attitudes of the prime ministers made Wu Zetian realize that although this grandson's talent is commendable, looking at the world, apart from her, there is no one in the world who can appreciate and use it without any scruples.

Even she may not be able to do this.In particular, this kid is really capable of tossing around. In such a short period of time in Xijing, he can integrate many officials. If he is really released without restraint, Wu Zetian is a little worried that he may not be able to control this kid.

That's why she decided to make such an arrangement, first let this kid enter the game with a low profile, take a look at the effect, and then consider how to adjust it later.And through such a high-down suppression, she also hoped to polish the young king's temperament, including those in the current situation, to cool down a little.

The grandfather and grandson had their own ideas, and there was no voice in the hall for a while.

After a while, Li Tong slapped his thigh abruptly, got up and bowed again: "I am guilty of the crime, and I deserve the title, and I am willing to accept this punishment. But thinking of making things difficult in the future, I still ask Your Majesty to protect me and save me!"

Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then frowned a moment later and said, "Even a criminal officer like Lai Junchen has been beaten and driven away by you. Even if the honor is no longer there, what situation in the world will dare to disturb?" Harm you?"

"Adding a stick to one's body can cultivate respect. Your majesty can teach your ministers who are closer and farther, and the ministers can feel deeply. Although it is said that even if there is no honor and honor, if you keep this favor, the world will not be able to harm you. But the way of the world In the end, there are still candidates who are not popular."

When Li Tong talked about this, his face was already full of apprehension: "The king of Jian'an entrusted his ministers with wealth. In addition to the deep friendship with each other, there is also the fact that the ministers keep food, and the ministers who have no troubles can't bear the financial affairs. But now the punishment Adding to the body, the ministers have no food, can King Jian'an not be suspicious and frightened, and harass me with evil plans?"
