Empress Reborn

After the words fell, a group of people came in from outside the hall.The leader was King Luo Bin, who was dressed in a fifth-grade court uniform, walked steadily, and bowed respectfully to the queen mother: "My minister, King Luo Bin, has seen the queen mother." It's a bit miserable, with heavy tortures and body, clothes and hair buns are all messy.

Empress Dowager Wu wandered around these people, then stopped her eyes on Pei Yan, looked at him lightly, looked at his slightly startled face, pursed her lips and asked with a smile: "Does Mr. Pei know these people?"

Pei Yan stared at those people, his slightly startled face gradually returned to normal, he replied sullenly: "I'm ashamed, I didn't know."

"That being the case, I will introduce you to Mr. Pei." Empress Dowager Wu lowered her gaze to King Luo Bin, and raised her hand slightly, "This is my newly appointed admonishing doctor, King Luo Bin."

King Luo Bin thanked him and got up, bowed to Pei Yan and saluted, "Pei Xiang."

Pei Yan frowned, and was thinking about why King Luo Bin, who wrote a letter cursing Empress Dowager Wu, would turn against him, when he heard the Empress Dowager change the subject again, he sneered coldly: "Mr. Old age, old eyes are dizzy?"

Wu Shi is taking this opportunity to target him.Pei Yan's heart froze, and he secretly thought that the woman did have some abilities, not to mention that it was indeed his fault that a talented man like King Luo Bin failed to take up an important position in the government. He lowered his head, but he had no choice but to confess in a low voice, "I have made mistakes."

The Empress Dowager Wu stopped looking at him, and lowered her eyes to Li Jingye and the others. She looked at those people who were lying down and said guilt, and said, "As for these, they are what you call hidden dangers. Li Sima, tell me about it." , how do you want to control my enemy."

Li Jingye's body trembled, thinking of the Queen Mother's methods of dealing with people, he was so horrified that he couldn't speak, he just prostrated on the ground and moaned, "Guilty, guilty." Looking at the rest of the people, they were not too frightened to speak, Just like him kneeling there crying and begging for mercy, it's really not worth it.

It can be considered that he was an official in the court, but he has no strength of character.Empress Dowager Wu sighed silently, she glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, and ordered: "Wan'er, read it."

"Yes." Shangguan Wan'er unfolded the decree, and the loud voice read out the order to take back Li Jingye's imperial surname, bestow Ling Chi on several people, and confiscate the family property.Rao had expected it a long time ago, after listening to the few people, they were still limp on the ground, Shangguan Wan'er glanced at them, and signaled the guards to pull them down.

A rebellion was quelled without bloodshed like this, Empress Dowager Wu admired her daughter even more, but the court ministers who didn't know the truth became more and more respectful to this unpredictable Empress Dowager.

A few months later, the Wu clan, dazzled by the immediate benefits, began to plan further. They urged the Empress Dowager Wu to kill Li's royal family members on the grounds of their high position and power and their ulterior motives.After hearing this, Pei Yan refuted in court, Empress Dowager Wu didn't say yes or no, she looked at Pei Yan indifferently, and felt that if this person is not eliminated, it will be a serious problem in the future.

A few days later, an informer claimed that Zhongshu ordered Pei Yan to conspire against him. After hearing this, the Empress Dowager Wu was furious and immediately ordered him to be detained and imprisoned.

The court disobeyed the empress dowager a few times, and how Pei Yan was imprisoned. The ministers knew it well, so they were all silent. Only Cheng Wuting, an old friend who had just made military exploits, dared to write a letter to intercede.Empress Dowager Wu looked at it, but felt that the relationship between the two was very good. If she took the opportunity to kill Pei Yan, then Cheng Wu, who holds the military power in his hand, would definitely have evil intentions.She narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking that although Cheng Wuting had made great achievements, she couldn't keep it.

A few days later, Cheng Wuting was also imprisoned for making an informant. In addition, Wang Fangyi, who also held military power and had a good personal relationship with Cheng Wuting, was convicted of re-employment.Everyone in the army knew that the two were in danger, but they were unable to intercede with the Queen Mother. At this time of embarrassment, Su Muzhen suddenly said: "Everyone, don't panic, Princess Taiping always cherishes talents, why don't Su Mou go and ask the princess for help?" Favor."

The soldiers also heard about Li Lingyue's opening of the charity workshop, and they all responded: "The princess must be a kind-hearted person to open the charity workshop. General Su's move is feasible. Thank you, General."

"Su Mou is obliged to do so." Su Muzhen cupped her hands, turned around and went to the Princess Mansion.

"Princess." Su Muzhen lowered her body and saluted.Li Lingyue expected why she came, but she didn't specify, she just gave her a seat with a smile.

Su Muzhen bowed again, she was worried about the safety of the two generals, before she could take her seat, she said bluntly to Li Lingyue, "Princess, Su's trip is for the two generals Cheng and Wang. He has made great achievements in battle, and he must be framed by someone to go to prison this time, so I beg the princess to help and save the two loyal ministers and generals of the Tang Dynasty!" After she finished speaking, she bent her knees and bowed straight down.

"Mu Zhen, do you know why the two of them were imprisoned?" Li Lingyue lifted the lid of the cup, blew on the hot tea in the cup, and asked calmly.

Su Muzhen looked up at her, gritted her teeth and replied, "The two generals must be framed by others."

Li Lingyue did not deny it, she took a sip of hot tea, and said: "Do you know that General Wang is the family of the deposed queen?"

Su Muzhen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she thought that the empress dowager's move was probably for the sake of eradicating the roots. It would be difficult for the princess to help her, but she still did not give up, looking straight into Li Lingyue's eyes and begging: "Princess, the two generals are both loyal and loyal. Wouldn’t it be chilling to die for Tang Dynasty’s countless meritorious deeds?”

Li Lingyue put down the teacup and sighed helplessly, "Mu Zhen, you know that I have always cherished talents. If the two generals die because of this, I really can't bear it. But you can't understand what A Niang is thinking. Cousin is gaining momentum, if I speak up, I'm afraid I'll be caught by those people and make a statement."

"Princess..." Su Muzhen was stunned. She had indeed guessed what Empress Dowager Wu was thinking, but it was just to clear up obstacles in the future, and Li Lingyue, a princess, naturally had undue thoughts. The throne really needs Empress Dowager Wu's favor, and her influence has not yet taken shape, if Empress Wu becomes suspicious because of pleading, it will not be worth the loss, and it will be embarrassing for her.

"Ah." With a sigh, Li Lingyue got up and helped Su Muzhen up herself. She took Su Muzhen's hand and comforted her, "I know that you formed friendship with the two generals during the war. You are someone I value. , the two generals are talented enough to intimidate the Turks—" Thinking of this, Li Lingyue suddenly looked at Su Muzhen with a look of enlightenment, and said, "Maybe we can start from this aspect. I will do my best."

Compared with the queen mother, the princess is kind-hearted and wise.Su Muzhen was relieved, and gratefully bowed to Li Lingyue, "Thank you, Princess Su!"

Li Lingyue looked at her, the corners of her slightly closed lips curled up, revealing an unpredictable smile.Cheng Wuting and Wang Fangyi are generals who shocked the frontier. In the last life, due to the death of several good generals, Datang lost a lot of territory because of the external turmoil. change.What's more, if she can successfully rescue these two people, wouldn't she have two more generals under her command?

"Aniang." Li Lingyue went into the palace to find the Empress Dowager Wu.Empress Dowager Wu saw that she was guessing her reason for coming, so she asked, "Are you here to intercede for the traitor, or do you miss Wan'er?"

Shangguan Wan'er, who was waiting on the side, pursed her lips slightly and lowered her head quietly.Li Lingyue glanced at her, her mind was moving, she stepped forward, leaned beside Empress Dowager Wu to curry favor and said, "Where is your mother, my daughter is here to see her."

Empress Wu glanced at her with lowered eyebrows, "Oh?"

"My daughter misses her mother." Seeing Empress Dowager Wu's calm expression, Li Lingyue suddenly stopped her smile and said seriously, "Besides, my daughter wants to report something to her mother. My daughter just made a divination... "

The Empress Dowager Wu's expression also became unpredictable, she stared at her daughter and said: "You think that if those rebels are punished, our Tang Dynasty will be in trouble?"

Li Lingyue was startled, bowed her knees and bowed her head and said, "That's right. A Niang, my daughter is not alarmist, she has indeed seen the crisis in Tang Dynasty."

"Tell me what the crisis is." Empress Dowager Wu said leisurely, not in a hurry, but not panicked by it.

Li Lingyue nodded in response, and compiled what she saw and heard in her previous life: "After Pei Xianggong and the two generals died, my mother became the emperor and became a generation of queens, but those barbarians took advantage of the internal instability of the new dynasty to invade my territory wantonly. After the death of the two generals, someone imitated the whistleblower, resulting in few generals of our dynasty, Mu Zhen died tragically in the war, and our territory fell suddenly. The people..." She changed her follow-up words too strongly, and looked at the Empress Dowager hesitantly glance.

The Empress Dowager Wu was not angry and prestige, she said lightly, "Say."

Li Lingyue then continued: "The people are in dire straits, and they rise up one after another, and some courtiers also responded. You...you...the country is not peaceful."

In the end, she wanted to make up a tragic death of Empress Wu, but after all, it was her own mother. She couldn't say that, so she could only vaguely say something, and bowed her body respectfully.

Shangguan Wan'er was dazed by her words, and felt that this might happen, but it was hard to tell whether it was true or not. She was a little worried that Empress Wu would get angry, so she poured a cup of tea and brought it over.

Empress Wu glanced at her, took the tea and took a sip, but she was not angry, "Ah Yue."

Li Lingyue raised her eyes when she heard the sound, she saw Empress Dowager Wu's eyes wandering over her face, and then asked lightly, "From what you've seen, those rebellious ministers have been disobedient for so many times, so they let them go?"

Li Lingyue knew that her mother had believed her to a certain extent, so she felt at ease, and said respectfully: "Of course, disobedience to the Queen Mother cannot be easily forgiven. But according to my daughter, General Cheng is here to plead for mercy, while General Wang..." She closed her voice and turned around. The topic said, "Pei Xianggong is old, and it's time to return to his hometown to enjoy his old age. Although the two generals are also old, they are old and strong, and they can still serve the country. Generals like Mu Zhen's age are indeed indispensable. They teach."

This is to tell Empress Dowager Wu that Su Muzhen is her eyeliner, if Cheng Wuting and others have rebellious intentions, she will inform Empress Dowager in time.There is some truth to it.The Empress Dowager Wu lowered her eyes and thought deeply, but she thought that she had lost some generals. The two of them, Cheng Wang, are old, and they may not have a few good years. Rise up, and then kill those people.
