Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty

Daming Palace.

The night is as deep as death, and the mist of sadness is all over Hualin.

The wind came in through the window, and the overlapping curtains swayed like tulle. Under the faint moonlight, there were shadows and shadows, which made people frightened.

On the couch in the inner room, Wu Meiniang's eyelashes trembled uncomfortably, her forehead was sweating continuously, her pale face glaringly white in the dark night.

"Wan'er——Wan'er—" Wu Meiniang woke up suddenly, sat up suddenly, her eyes were blank and filled with despair and reluctance that were as heavy as mountains and hard to give up.

"The Queen of Heaven..." The beautiful and gentle girl walked in quickly, leaned over in front of the couch with concern, looked at Wu Meiniang with worried eyes, "Wan'er is here."

Hearing the familiar voice, Wu Meiniang turned her head slowly, looked straight at Shangguan Wan'er, and said tentatively: "Wan'er?" As soon as the words came out, before Shangguan Wan'er could speak, her eyes suddenly became clear, slightly With a smile, with a little sense of loss, he asked, "What time is it?"

"It's almost time." Shangguan Wan'er saw that she was completely awake, so she dared to shake her hand. It was as cold as ice when she touched it. Shangguan Wan'er said distressedly: "Cover it up after the day, don't catch the cold gone."

The extreme cold suddenly touched the warmth, and it was like a dazzling light shining into the airtight dark room. Wu Meiniang couldn't help trembling. Once, in her dark and confused life, there was such a dazzling light. At that time, I was unable to own it, and I hated it for the rest of my life.

A palace maid came in with a cup of hot tea, Wu Meiniang smiled and said to Shangguan Wan'er: "Don't cover it up, it's time to get up."

Shangguan Wan'er didn't have the slightest objection, she respectfully said yes, took the hot tea, and served Wu Meiniang with all her heart to drink it.She didn't know why the Heavenly Empress had taken a fancy to her at the first sight in the Yeting Court, and brought her to this majestic palace with nine layers of heights, and she didn't know why the Heavenly Empress relied on her so much, calling her by her name in her sleep, But he understands that the Queen's order cannot be defied.

At Maoshi on a winter night, the sky is still dark, the sky is cold, and the wind is biting.Wu Meiniang's straight figure was particularly dazzling in the palace. She didn't take a chariot, but walked step by step to the Zichen Palace where the emperor lived.

The emperor had recently suffered from a severe wind attack and was unable to govern. He wanted to order the Queen of Heaven to be regent, but was blocked by Prime Minister Hao Chujun.

As soon as she entered the door, she smelled the smell of medicine, Wu Meiniang didn't seem to notice it, she walked in step by step, the emperor was lying peacefully, warmth gradually gathered in her eyes, she stepped forward slowly, and softly called: "Your Majesty."

The emperor slowly opened his eyes, with a look of pain on his face, he let out a groan from his throat, and Wu Meiniang's hand hanging by her side tightly squeezed the hem of her clothes.She was concerned: "How is today? Is it better?"

The emperor pressed his temple and shook his head weakly: "I'm afraid I won't recover from my illness."

"How could it be? Your Majesty has the protection of the Taoist Lord and is blessed by the heavens. He will always be fine."

The emperor sighed. After years of suffering from illness, he always felt that he could not get better, but he was still unwilling: "Let all the states and counties recommend good doctors."

The palace servants brought the decocted medicine, Wu Meiniang took it in person, blew it carefully, fed it to the emperor's mouth, and said softly, "Why should your majesty mention it? People have already searched for it, but Sun Simiao has passed away. ..."

There was a gloomy look in the emperor's eyes. Sun Simiao must be able to cure his wind disease, but it is a pity that he is no longer here. Seeing the queen's dedication, he couldn't help but feel very guilty: "The prime minister obstructed, and I can't do it. Earlier you said that the scholars of the North Gate are all knowledgeable people, but Discuss politics, let them discuss politics."

Wu Meiniang snorted, and said with resentment: "Your Majesty, when you read Zhuangzi, you must remember this passage 'There is a bird in the south, its name is a pheasant, do you know it? The pheasant originated from the South China Sea and flew to the North Sea. Don't eat if it's real, don't drink if it's not a sweet spring. So I got a rotten rat, and the owl passed by it, looked up at it and said: "Scared!" The world loves to judge others by itself. No difference."

The emperor hesitated, and said in doubt: "The prime minister is not such a person. He speaks like this, and he is also loyal to the country." After all, he also had doubts.

Wu Meiniang smiled and clicked: "On behalf of the Beimen scholar, I would like to thank Your Majesty—Your Majesty will take medicine first."

After half a bowl of medicine, Wu Meiniang suddenly said: "Changsun Jin appeared in Yuzhang and was reported by others. I have asked people to take him down and send him to Chang'an."

The emperor paused and felt his head hurt even more. He pushed away the medicine bowl and took a breath and said: "Uncle Twelve Sons, only the eldest son Jin is left, let him go, and leave a bloodline for my uncle."

Wu Meiniang was noncommittal, and said loudly, "Wan'er."

Shangguan Wan'er entered in response, and Wu Meiniang handed her the medicine bowl: "Take it."

Wan'er saluted and withdrew.

The emperor's gaze closely followed her beautiful figure until she had gone out, with deep pain and regret on his face: "Every time I see her, I always think of Seventeen Niang."

"I killed Seventeen Niang."

It's not just you, Wan'er is by my side, I can't forget her for a moment, every time I call Wan'er, I put my heart on the blade.Wu Meiniang smiled, and persuaded very gently: "Your Highness won't care. It's also the eldest grandson Wuji who is abominable. He framed the crime and harmed the clan, but wants His Majesty to suffer on his behalf and bear the crime of harming his brother."

The emperor was silent, still unwilling to kill Changsun Jin.

Wu Meiniang looked at him: "Changsun Wuji committed a major crime of usurping, and Changsun Jin absconded without permission. He is already on his way and known to everyone along the way. Your Majesty will forgive him, and where will the laws of the country be placed? Your Majesty," Wu Meiniang still smiled slightly. With a cold blood that sent chills down the spine: "Kill it..."

The emperor had no other way to go, so he had to bear the pain and said: "Draft an imperial edict to kill Changsun Jin."

It didn't take long for the edict to be completed and sent it out quickly. Wu Meiniang suddenly said: "In the past, Your Majesty was a vassal, and Thailand was not good for His Majesty. The uncle of the country will not abandon it. With all his support, Your Majesty can practice the East Palace."

The emperor naturally remembered, without Changsun Wuji, he couldn't be the emperor.

"I also heard that when Emperor Taizong passed away, he held His Majesty's hand and asked His Majesty to treat his uncle well and not to be picked on by villains."

The emperor closed his eyes, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes. At that time, he sincerely agreed and would not doubt the uncle of the country, but after that, the uncle of the country became more powerful and arrogant, and even used his ministers to arrogant the emperor and harmed the clan.In the big Yonghui case, did he really not know that Ke and Shiqiniang were innocent?But let it go, and use the hands of uncle Guo to get rid of Ke, and have to sacrifice Shiqi Niang.Although the uncle of the country was wrong, he never thought of usurping the throne, and in order to get rid of the uncle of the country, he had to be charged with such a crime that he could not stand up, so that he did not even have a single heir.

In the end, it was all his fault, for the sake of the country and the throne, he killed so many people who should have been close relatives!

The emperor suddenly turned over and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Wu Meiniang was satisfied, but on the surface she seemed to be flustered, she stood up suddenly, her body was still shaking, and she said anxiously: "The imperial physician! Call the imperial physician!"

The imperial physician was in the side hall, and came very quickly.Wu Meiniang withdrew.

At this time, Xu Jingzong was already outside the Shangyang Hall. When he saw the Queen of Heaven, he hurriedly went up to pay his respects.

Wu Meiniang walked with him to the side hall, and the palace man asked: "Among the scholars from the North Gate who are good at commentating, they will participate in the government, and the rest will be famous for writing books."

When Xu Jingzong heard this, he knew that Tianhou had obtained the power of Beimen scholars to discuss politics from His Majesty, so he hurriedly leaned over and said, "Yes." To prevent a resurgence, assassination is the way, Your Majesty has always been kind and soft-hearted, if you tell Your Majesty, if His Majesty refuses to allow it, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?”

Wu Meiniang smiled inexplicably: "Your Majesty personally issued an order to kill him, and that's...justified."

Xu Jingzong still didn't understand that Tianhou wanted to kill people, no matter what the name was, but he didn't ask, he just figured it out in his heart, as a fan of Tianhou, he thought that there was a reason for everything Tianhou did.

"Where is the doctor I looked for earlier?"

Xu Jingzong hurriedly replied: "In the court of ministers."

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while." Wu Meiniang said, "When the states and counties donate famous doctors to the palace, you will have him admitted."

To make people push him up is to get rid of themselves.Xu Jingzong bowed: "I obey."

Wu Meiniang turned around and walked out of the hall. When she reached the door, she stopped and said: "You are also the prime minister, why do you have to be overwhelmed by others, you have to endure in the past, because the enemy and I don't know, now, you don't have to bear it."

His Majesty's wind attack caused the Queen of Heaven to be regent. Many people couldn't bear it anymore. They jumped out to speak out and objected righteously. Who would have thought that the Queen of Heaven would never think of coming to court at this time? Your Majesty Fengji looked at Not this chapter, the memorial handed in outside was approved by the Queen of Heaven, and she already controlled the government, so why should she take an extra step to fight for the name of the regent, but because of this name, so many people are impatient, revealing Tail.

Excited, Xu Jingzong said loudly: "I will live up to the Queen's expectations!"

Wu Meiniang walked out of the palace, Xu Jingzong also hurried out of the palace, ready to frame Zhongliang, passed Zichen Palace, heard that His Majesty vomited blood, Xu Jingzong suddenly realized, with a smile on his lips, strode out of the palace.
