Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty

"You just leave it to him?" It was Gao Yang who spoke. She leaned against the cushion and rolled up a book in her hand. She just played with it without reading it. "He is so eager, I am free to do what he wants." Wu Meiniang said casually.

A servant girl came in with drinks, a glass of ebony juice and a glass of watermelon juice.Wu Meiniang was originally sitting by the couch, propping her face with one hand, lowering her head to talk to Gao Yang, when she heard the sound of footsteps, she raised her head and took a look, took two glass cups, gave Gao Yang the watermelon juice, and kept the ebony juice for herself.

When the maid went out, Wu Meiniang was unhappy: "Why do you still keep her?"This maid is her failure!

"It's because I like her." Gao Yang wrote lightly, turned around and put the book away so as not to be stained by the juice, then lowered his head and took a sip. Seeing the faint resentment in Wu Meiniang's eyes, he patted her knee and said: " All right, you should go back."

Wu Meiniang: "...just rush people away in such a hurry." At least let me finish my drink.

"You stay here, someone in the palace should look for it." Seeing that she was still holding black plum juice in her hand, Gao Yang said, "Let someone take it in the car to drink, and the glass cup is also given to you, so you don't need to return it." I didn't pay attention when I came here, I added ice to it, and now it's not yet hot, drinking the cold air like this is too harmful to the body, and it almost melts in the car.

Wu Meiniang reluctantly said: "Allow me to stay for a while, I have nothing to do today, it's not easy for me to go out of the palace, and I don't know when the next time will be."

Why is it not easy for you to go out of the palace?No one cares about you, why don't you come whenever you want?Looking sideways at her pretending to be pitiful, Gao Yang couldn't help being soft-hearted, so he didn't expose her, brought her cup and put it with his own.

Although the two were lying and sitting on the same couch, they were far apart.Wu Meiniang thought to herself that she had made great progress, and she was very happy when she made significant progress. When talking with Gao Yang, she was also in a happy mood: "Your Highness wants to go to Luoyang? Set a date, and we will go together."

If she wanted to go, she would have to bring along the entire imperial court, which would be very troublesome.Gao Yang refused without hesitation: "If you want to go, you don't have to come with me."

Still so cold.Wu Meiniang turned sideways, got closer to Gao Yang, and decided to make preparations first, and she would follow after His Highness set off, but now she didn't argue with her, in short, she could do whatever she wanted, Wu Meiniang tried her best to follow her , vaguely said: "Well, well, everything is fine."

Gao Yang rolled her eyes.

Hanfeng Palace.

Xu Jingzong, who had been waiting for a long time, stroked his long half-white beard: Hey, where is the Queen Mother?Didn't you agree to discuss the relocation of officials?

It is said that Wu Wang also had his own considerations to keep Chen Wang, and he thought it was nothing more than a little effort.The matter of witchcraft can always be big or small, it depends on how people judge.He is not a stupid person, but he has been away from the capital for a long time, and his intuition in some matters is not so sharp.He only thought that the Queen Mother wanted to kill King Chen.A prince, if he was a hot candidate for the crown prince but did not become the crown prince, most likely this person will not end well.It is common sense for the Queen Mother to hate him.

But as a good uncle, as a vassal prince with ambition and desire to be filthy, King Wu could not let the Queen Mother easily fulfill her wish.Above the court, the Empress Dowager took a step back and took Zong Zhengqing as the host, but at the same time, she made a request to send a team of imperial guards first to keep all the evidence as it was, and be careful not to destroy it.Naturally, no one objected to this reasonable matter.

Yulin went to the post station and left on a fast horse. No one could catch up with him. The King of Wu wanted to send someone to inform him in private. Seeing this, he couldn't catch up with Yulin. "Be sure to save King Chen." Thinking about if there is another conspiracy in it, you can't let yourself fall into it, and said: "Do your best, do things cheaply, if there is a sudden change, abandon the car and save the commander."

Zong Zhengqing took the order to go, suppressing Yang Chen along the way.Before Yang Chen came, he also went to the benefactor's door to ask for advice, Gao Yang was much simpler, he just said: "Say what you see, and report it truthfully."

So Yang Chen obediently let him push him all the way, and when he arrived in front of Prince Chen's mansion, Yang Chen instantly became stern and righteous, pointing out Zong Zhengqing's mistakes everywhere.

Zong Zhengqing is also unlucky, he is one of the nine ministers, and he is also a capable person. However, no matter how capable he is, he will feel restricted everywhere when he encounters things he has never done before.He doesn't know how to try this kind of case, but Yang Chen is used to it. Naturally, he knows how to collect evidence, how to induce a confession, where to hide private things, and where to set up a secret room.

In just three days, Zong Zhengqing was about to die of anger. He thought that he was the chief official, and his rank was higher than Yang Chen, and this alone would be able to suppress him—it was true along the way—but now, it is clear that he It's the chief official, but Yang Chen overwhelms him everywhere, and things are becoming more and more unfavorable. Yang Chen has made people search for incense cases and divination objects from the secret room of Chen Wang's mansion.

Zong Zhengqing immediately played on the table, and participated in Yang Chen's disrespect to the superior.At the same time, Yang Chen seriously wrote a memorial to his progress, writing whatever he saw, without any exaggeration, and sent it to Chang'an quickly.

There was another fierce debate in the court.It is said that Yang Chen is disrespectful to the superior and has ulterior motives, and that Zong Zhengqing has no talent and only shows. If Shaoqing doesn't do anything, will he come back empty-handed?

The momentum was huge, and the faces of the two sides were red.

When autumn came, Gao Yang came back from Luoyang, and Wu Meiniang followed her closely. Things took a turn for the worse, and a shocking change took place.Yang Chen comes to this chapter again, this time, it is said that King Chen and King Wu have been in secret contact for a long time, and they agreed to respect King Chen as emperor.At the same time, I present the evidence—a yellow robe, several testimonies—the yellow robe was dug out from the ground of Chenwang’s other courtyard, and it had been burned to the point where only a few corners remained, but it was enough to recognize the yellow robe from the standard. robe.

The King of Wu refused to admit it, and said angrily: "The bitch insulted me, how can I count! I said that the Queen Mother has the intention to usurp the throne, so does the Queen Mother have the intention to usurp the throne!" Those people are even worse!

A bag of burnt clothes was thrown on the hall, and the dragon pattern on it could still be vaguely discerned.Wu Meiniang didn't argue with him, she pointed at the clothes and said, "How do you explain this?"

The king of Wu knew that he was in the suit at this time, but he was tied to the king of Chen, and he had no choice but to give him a hand: "Planting and framing! This silk is made, let the general identify where it is produced, and where it will be supplied to." "Silk can only be worn by high-ranking officials, but not by ordinary people or traders. Moreover, this kind of clothing material is considered to be a precious and top-grade material, so it must be recorded.

He was thinking about how to reverse the case, but others would not allow him to breathe.

"Of course we need to investigate." Wu Meiniang said.

Immediately, a minister came out and said: "I ask the king of Wu to avoid the banquet and wait for the crime."

Then came the massive second proposal.Wu Meiniang followed her minister's wishes and detained King Wu in the mansion.The residence of King Wu was surrounded by the imperial forest.

It was found out that the cloth belonged to King Chen, and the yellow robe was true, but King Chen had a disobedient heart. From one to two, the suspicion of King Wu is hard to clear.

Finally convicted, King Chen was strangled on the spot, expelled from his clan, King Wu seized the title, and fled to Lingnan, and his younger brother, King Shu, was also implicated.

"That's it, how can someone still praise you for your benevolence?" Gao Yang mocked.

Wu Meiniang looked calm: "For his crime, he should have died. I just let him go, isn't it kind?" As for two or three years later, it is also reasonable to die of fear.When King Chen came out of Beijing, she chose all the staff he was assigned to. Even though King Chen was suspicious, he changed a few of them one after another in the next few years, but they couldn't replace all of them. Isn't it easy to frame him?The material for the yellow robe was indeed from Prince Chen's mansion, she gave it to the kings to make clothes last year. King Chen doesn't care about the inner house, and the princess is not very shrewd. not difficult.

These things are not difficult to do, but it takes a little time.Chen Wang and she also had troubles in their hearts, and it was just right to get rid of them together at this time.

Incidentally, Zong Zhengqing was dismissed for dereliction of duty, and Yang Chen was promoted to the minister of Dali Temple due to his meritorious service.As for other Wu Wang clans who have been implicated in countless crimes, but he has not yet taken root, and there are not many people following him, so a bloodbath has been avoided.

Gao Yang was silent for a while, and finally said: "Wu Wang, that person always thinks that he has no ambitions. He is capable of writing and martial arts, and he is also a talented person. It will be difficult to ask him to pull a group of people in two more years. "Fortunately, the attack was quick, and it will not be so easy to convict him after a long time.As for King Chen, that nephew, Gao Yang also knew about it, he was always fiddling with prophecies, divination with a tortoise shell.

But as a subject, you can't even think about it.Great treason and immorality, if you put it in your heart, no one knows and you are innocent. However, once it shows signs, it is known to others, and it is in that position, it is easy to be teased by others. If you boo, you can't help but "gamble".

This potential evil cannot be left behind.

Wu Meiniang didn't have many ideas like Gao Yang's, she was only proud of her own foresight: "When I left him in Beijing, I started to arrange it." How could he grow stronger.

This time Wu Meiniang brought Taiping with her. She could see that Gao Yang liked Taiping, so she said: "The wet nurse also brought her, she can be supported to walk a few steps now, just move, let her live with you How many days?"

Hearing his name, Taiping raised his head, grinned, showing two white teeth, raised his arms, and staggered towards Gao Yang with his chubby short legs.Gao Yang caught her and picked her up, Taiping looked at her, his chubby face was full of smiles, with crystal clear saliva around his mouth, Gao Yang wiped her clean with a handkerchief, and he laughed again after a while.

Gao Yang couldn't help smiling, tapped the tip of her small nose, half reluctantly half hesitantly said: "I'm afraid that I will cry at night."

"There is a wet nurse." Wu Meiniang tried her best to sell it.Finally Gao Yang nodded.

Taiping became a long-term resident of Furong Garden, which made it convenient for Wu Meiniang to come here frequently on the grounds of seeing her daughter.

But she has a lot of things to do, even if she comes, she can't stop for long.

King Wu's remnant party was cleaned up very smoothly, the only difficulty was that there were several descendants of the family, whose fathers and ancestors were all meritorious ministers, and many of the families had uncles and nephews who had become officials, so they had to be protected.

Wu Meiniang also spared them the death penalty, and only ordered them to redeem with money. It is certain that they will no longer be officials for life.

Li Ke was exiled to the south of the Five Ridges, he came here with great ambitions, but left in panic like a bereaved dog.

Compared with the previous life, when Li Ke died, the court was criticized by others, and Changsun Wuji was criticized by scholars, this time it was really silent.One of the reasons is that this time Li Ke jumped too much, unlike the last time he maintained the image of a virtuous king who was indifferent to fame and fortune. !
