Wu Zetian was sitting in the main hall, her face not knowing whether she should be happy or worried.
She had always wanted to move the capital to Luoyang, partly because Chang'an could no longer keep up with the pace of development.
The other reason is because she wanted to get rid of the constraints of the old forces of Li and Tang in Chang'an City, so that she could show her talents freely.
Now, she can be regarded as successful in moving the capital in a different way.
Moreover, she also successfully got rid of the control of the old forces in Chang'an City.
However, things happened too suddenly and too "quickly".
The old Li and Tang forces in Chang'an City have died out, and their strength has been greatly reduced.
However, the same can be said for the civil servants and generals under her.
Both sides suffer!
This result is really not what she wanted!
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that there were foreign enemies such as the Turks who were watching, the vassal kings of Li Tang who had heavy troops would have launched a rebellion long ago.
"I never imagined that one day, a person's calm mind... would actually be my life-saving talisman."
Wu Zetian thought of the consequences of her negligence, and felt a trace of regret in her heart.
At the same time, her eyes also showed a deep sense of exhaustion. She was too tired.
The all-out explosion a month ago saved his life, but hurt his body.
She should have taken a good rest, but unfortunately, the center was destroyed and the government affairs were complicated. As the queen, she had no time to rest at all.
If she really went to recuperate, the Zhou Dynasty would be in chaos.
Wu Zetian took a deep breath. She knew clearly that some things should be done in advance, so she said.
"Wan'er, please send an order for Di Renjie to return to the court immediately and resume his official duties."
"yes."
"in addition…"
Wu Zetian hesitated for a moment and then said.
"In addition, Zhao Tai...calls Ling'er to come over and help me handle government affairs."
Shangguan Wan'er was stunned for a full second before she came to her senses and left as ordered.
Wu Zetian looked at the empty hall, feeling extremely lonely, and murmured silently.
"Something has to be done!"
…
Chang'an City.
After more than a month of cleaning work, everything that can be done has been done.
"Oh, things are very complicated!"
Di Pangpang stroked his beard with a complicated expression.
Li Yuanfang, who had been protecting Di Pangpang closely, asked after hearing this.
"Sir, why is it complicated?"
Ye Yuan was "wandering" around, and when he heard this, he looked back at them.
"Brother, I'm back!"
At this time, the little girl also emerged from the ground and handed a ring to Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan fondly touched the little girl's little head and praised her without hesitation.
"Nanny is the best!"
"Uh-huh…"
The little guy was shaking his head, so unhappy.
Ye Yuan calmly transferred the belongings in the ring to the Xumi Ring, and then handed the ring back to the little girl.
She didn't talk nonsense and went underground to hunt for treasure again with great interest.
Ye Yuan looked at the little guy's back and said with emotion.
"My daughter will give you salvation and take away the yellow and white things that you can't use. This is a transaction of equal value. This is very reasonable and fair. You won't object, right?"
In fact, Chang'an City has been closed for more than a month.
Although it is said to be a cleanup, the main target has always been the palace.
As for the reason, one is to investigate the truth about the explosion that day.
The other reason is that Chang'an City is so big, and most of the places are buried deep underground.
If we want to clean them all up, it will require an astronomical amount of manpower and material resources.
You know, there are more than a million corpses down here alone, and the rotting corpses alone are a huge trouble.
Therefore, Di Pangpang could only order people to clean up the surface, leaving the bottom of the soil as it is for the time being.
Although he couldn't bear it, there was nothing he could do.
After years of fighting, most of the country's able-bodied men are on the border battlefields, protecting their families and the country, and those who are left behind are mostly old, weak, women and children.
These people still have to farm and work and cannot be recruited easily.
As for the army, it has limited manpower and is threatened by foreign enemies, so it dare not move lightly.
Therefore, the former capital of Chang'an is now a huge mass grave.
Di Pangpang pointed at the center of the explosion and muttered to himself.
"That is the heart of the royal treasury. No one can enter without the will of the Holy One."
Li Yuanfang asked dumbfounded.
"Sir, what do you mean by this? Could it be..."
Thinking of that possibility, Li Yuanfang trembled all over and looked horrified.
When Di Pangpang saw this, he sighed and said.
"Don't think nonsense, I mean there is a traitor!"
Li Yuanfang breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if it was really what he thought, he couldn't imagine what would happen next.
Ye Yuan glanced at the two of them and stopped paying too much attention.
He is just an idler now and doesn't need to worry about anything.
Of course, he just doesn't want to care about anything.
An hour later, Nannan came up again and whispered in Ye Yuan's ear.
"Brother, I found a secret room underground!"
"Um?"
"where?"
"Right over there."
Ye Yuan looked along her chubby fingers, that was the direction of Xuanwu Gate!
"What's in the secret room?"
"Brother, I can't get in!"
"Well, don't worry about it for now."
"Um."
…
As the sun sets, the imperial edict arrives.
However, Ye Yuan was not at the scene.
No one found it strange that Ye Yuan always walked alone and elusive, maybe sleeping and fishing somewhere.
In fact, Ye Yuan had already arrived in front of a "big stone" that was square, covering an area of more than 60 meters, and five meters high under the Xuanwu Gate.
The little girl sat on Ye Yuan's shoulder and said.
"Brother, this is where I was. I was blocked and couldn't get in. I originally wanted to use the twenty-four heavens to smash it, but I remembered that my brother said that we couldn't make any noise, so I didn't do anything."
Looking at the little one with an expectant look on her face, Ye Yuan touched her head and praised her vigorously.
"Nanny is so smart."
"hey-hey…"
The little guy squinted his eyes and smiled proudly.
Ye Yuan used his consciousness and scanned the front carefully, but it was no different from what he saw with his eyes. It was just a huge stone.
Ye Yuan muttered with a headache.
"Are you mistaken? It's a formation, it's a formation. Why do I feel like the world is targeting me?"
Thinking about it, over the past month or so, he had come across formations over and over again, which almost made him doubt his life.
Nannan saw Ye Yuan's dilemma, took out the bracelet, and took the initiative to suggest.
"Brother, how about I break it open?"
"No, I have a solution."
Saying that, Ye Yuan took off the purple treasure gourd from his waist and poured his divine power into it.
The next moment, the entire boulder disappeared.
Nannan poured out and measured the mud and rocks very skillfully, and filled the holes to prevent collapse.
Ye Yuan patted the gourd with a proud look on his face.
As for the formation, it doesn't matter if he can't break it. He can just keep it and take it away. Someone will be able to break it in the future.
