Chapter 381: Those who are killed are warrior thieves!
"I accept the decree!"
In front of the Duke of Wei's palace, Li Yan took the edict brought by Cao An, his eyes revealed and he was thinking deeply.
The saint asked him to arrest Wu Yizong and kill him if he resisted at all. This was no problem.
It was also the perfect time to take the opportunity to cut off Empress Wu's claws extending outward.
But to directly issue an edict to prevent the married woman from entering the palace on the grounds of illness is a bit like semi-house arrest.
Li Hong's anger has never been so intense.
This incident greatly stimulated the saint.
In fact, if Wan'er hadn't reminded him, Li Yan wouldn't have thought about it. However, according to records, Wu Sansi's son actually went in and out of the harem later, and had an affair with Princess Anle Li Guo'er, causing her to become pregnant.
She was given a marriage, and less than six months after the marriage, Li Guoer gave birth to a baby boy.
Among the Wu family's children, Wu Minzhi is not the only one who dares to disrupt the harem, but can the Wu family in history and the Wu family now be the same thing?
"It can only be said that normal people can't guess what the waste will do when it suddenly reaches a high position..."
Li Yan's thoughts changed and he said to Cao An: "Please go back and report the matter to Your Highness. I will capture the thieves and calm down the storm."
Cao An said: "With Li Ge taking action, I can rest assured. Your Majesty is really angry this time. For such thieves, you can't be angry and hurt the dragon's body!"
Li Yan nodded and asked again: "Wan'er is smart and won't be injured by a mere bandit. Is the frightened wife okay?"
Cao An said: "Your Majesty has sent people to the Jin Mansion to express condolences, saying that this is a fault within the palace, and the culprits will be punished and justice will be served."
That is to say, even when Li Hong was furious, he could still think of going to comfort his frightened wife.
But Li Yan's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this: "Jin Mansion? The fifth-grade life wife...could it be the wife of Jin Langzhong?"
Cao An nodded: "Exactly."
Li Yan's expression suddenly became solemn: "Then the thief must be eliminated as quickly as possible. I will take the first step. Cao Cao is in trouble. I am rude!"
After saying that, he didn't even go back to his house to prepare. He just held the edict in hand, got on the lion's body, and ran out.
Naturally, Cao An didn't care about the rudeness. Seeing that this man disappeared in the blink of an eye, he sincerely breathed a sigh of relief: "It's really reassuring to have Li Ge lead the foreign court!"
…
In Yong'an Hall.
Except for the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, Empress Wu's expression did not change much. After hearing Eunuch Gao's specific report, his eyes flashed: "So, Wu Yizong's evil intention is the wife of Jin Liangtu, the official doctor of the Ministry of Justice.
?”
Eunuch Gao said: "Yes, His Majesty has sent officials from the Ministry of Rites to express condolences and made it clear that this is the responsibility of the palace."
His tone for the last sentence was light, but he didn't dare not say it, because Empress Wu hated people who couldn't accept reality.
But after hearing this, the Queen Mother said a ridiculous statement that sounded very unacceptable to reality: "In my opinion, Your Majesty was wrong this time, and it is not the fault of the palace."
Eunuch Gao was stunned, and Eunuch Cai not far away also showed confusion.
The reason why the relatives can be so arrogant is because of the Queen Mother's reputation. What's more, the place where the incident happened was inside the palace. If the children of the Wu family hadn't been studying at the Imperial Academy of Literature, this kind of thing would never have happened. So the saint said it was the palace's fault. That's a problem.
None of them!
Empress Wu looked at the two of them with twinkling eyes and waved: "Come here!"
The two men stepped forward in response.
Empress Wu looked at the two of them for the first time, and her tone became gentler: "I have been serving at Ganye Temple since I was born, and it has been more than 20 years. You were just young chamberlains back then, and you are all old now..."
The two people showed different expressions. Eunuch Gao was a little nostalgic, but Eunuch Cai was stunned. He vaguely noticed something and said quickly: "It is a blessing for slaves to serve the Queen Mother!"
Empress Wu was very satisfied with this sentence: "Next, I will entrust you with important tasks, and you will have to spend more time with foreign countries..."
Eunuch Cai's guess came true, and he looked ecstatic: "Thank you, Queen Mother!"
Eunuch Gao also cheered up and responded quickly: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your grace!"
The eunuchs in the early Tang Dynasty were too humble. No one expected to live such a life and receive rewards from above. Of course, they hoped to change their status and that of other eunuchs.
Empress Wu hated eunuchs in her heart. She had loved reading history since she was a child, and she clearly understood that eunuchs were the political group that could not be reused the most, but now they were really helpless and had no one to use them.
After this incident, she clearly realized that the children of the Wu family could no longer be relied on. Those losers could not help at all, and would ruin the situation she had finally won. After suffering this big loss, of course she could not do it again.
Keep your luck in mind and make mistakes again and again.
Then the only ones that can be used in the harem are eunuchs. After all, these eunuchs can still go out of the palace to deliver orders. Previously, eunuch Gao and three chamberlains healed Qiu Ying. In contrast, palace maids are regarded as women of saints.
It's impossible to get out at all.
Empress Wu calmed down and began to prepare for the next important counterattack with two people: "Is there anything about Mrs. Jin that does not follow women's ethics?"
When Eunuch Gao heard this, his heart suddenly became cold.
Back then, the former crown princess committed suicide, and her father Yang Sijian was demoted because of his goddaughter's misbehavior. He fell seriously ill on the way and died of grief and anger. Now the Jin family is almost bullied by Wu Yizong, and he wants to repeat the confusion of right and wrong... That saint is really
will go crazy!
Eunuch Gao moved his mouth, but under the majesty of Empress Wu, he really didn't have the courage to say it. Eunuch Cai next to him immediately said: "The Queen Mother is wise, and in my opinion, that Jin must have behaved badly and seduced the Queen Mother's nephew.
That’s why this disaster happened…”
Empress Wu glanced at him lightly and scolded: "You are so smart!"
Eunuch Cai showed a look of horror, but he also had hope, because Empress Wu had never bothered to talk to them before, so he quickly took action, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap in the face, and he was filled with hope, because Empress Wu had never bothered to talk to them before.
He kowtowed and said: "I have little knowledge, but I hope the Queen Mother will give me some advice. I hope the Queen Mother will give me some advice!"
Empress Wu appreciated this fierceness and said calmly and calmly: "Silla was originally a small country in Liaodong. Without us, the Tang Dynasty would have been destroyed by Goryeo and Baekje. Now, only this country is left with the descendants of the three Koreans in Liaodong, but they don't care about God's grace.
With a disloyal heart, he repeatedly sent spies to gather information..."
Eunuch Cai was horrified. He finally understood what the Queen Mother meant, but the slander was too poisonous. However, thinking of the eunuch's extremely humble status, he immediately put his conscience aside completely: "So that's it, that Lady Jin is the spy of Silla.
The purpose of getting close to the Queen Mother's nephew was to spy on the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, he knew it clearly, otherwise we would all have been deceived by him!"
Eunuch Gao thought about the appearance of the children of the Wu family. How could he spy on such inferior things? He finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty ordered the inner guard Li Ge to arrest Wu Yizong. With Li Ge's ability, everything can be done at this time."
One has already captured Wu Yizong, even...even..."
Empress Wu said coldly: "Are you afraid that Li Yuanfang will kill him? Don't worry, it won't happen. A loser like Wu Yizong must have had a surge of blood when he committed a crime. He ignored it and was frightened afterwards. He was in panic all day long. He didn't dare to resist.
They can only be captured without mercy."
"On the surface, Li Yuanfang looks young and energetic, but he is actually a person who knows how to advance and retreat. He will not kill someone rashly."
"After all, he has already killed He Lan Minzhi under his sword. If he kills Wu Yizong again, he will be stained with too much Wu's blood, and his official business will turn into a personal grudge. This is not good for him..."
Eunuch Cai nodded repeatedly and praised greatly: "The Queen Mother is wise!"
Eunuch Gao gritted his teeth and said bluntly again: "But these words may irritate the saint. I hope the Queen Mother will think twice!"
Empress Wu glanced at him in surprise: "You dare to say..."
In fact, there was no need for Eunuch Gao to remind her. She was also weighing the pros and cons in her heart. The relationship between mother and son was already weak, and if the bottom line was touched again and again, there was really no room for compromise.
But thinking of the saint's decree not long ago, Empress Wu's eyes became sharp: "The filial child is ready to put me under house arrest, why don't you allow me to avenge my nephew?"
"Let's do this. Get out of the palace as soon as possible. As long as you build momentum, you can naturally find out the 'truth'. After all, it is not the first time for those married women to enter the palace. If Lady Jin is almost humiliated by the children of the Wu family, they will
Have there been risks? Are there people who concealed them?"
"They know how to choose..."
Eunuch Cai accepted the order and went out of the palace in high spirits: "I will obey the Queen Mother's will!"
Eunuch Gao fell on the ground and trembled slightly: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Empress Wu's expression calmed down: "Don't panic. The words you said are enough to prove your loyalty to me. If you do things well, you won't have to humble yourself to survive in the future."
In the past, Eunuch Gao might have been very grateful, but now his heart was cold.
This person is so cruel to other people, why should he be kind to people with physical disabilities like them?
But all he could do was express tears of gratitude on his face, and he kowtowed: "Thank you, Queen Mother! Thank you, Queen Mother!"
Empress Wu no longer paid attention to the eunuch and began to think about how to deal with it next.
Slandering the victim is a last resort plan with many loopholes, but it must be done.
Because she can't afford another loss of reputation, not to mention that if she is completely abandoned by the Mingfu, a group with great political power, because of Wu Yizong's incident, then she will basically be out of the country from now on, let alone hold power, or even
Even in the harem, he was bullied by the queen.
The children of the Wu family will never be used again, and we must break up with them as soon as possible, but the impact this time must be minimized.
Of course, what happened this time was too bad, and it happened to touch upon the saint's most painful thing. How to redeem it next also made her distressed.
After thinking about it, Empress Wu tilted her mouth slightly and felt pain.
Recently, she was getting angry. She remembered the imperial doctor's advice and said, "Go and get some tea."
Eunuch Gao fetched the tea with a slight stagger and began to fry it.
Smelling the aroma of Yangxian tea, Empress Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly she thought that this was also promoted by Li Yuanfang, and her anger suddenly rose again.
"If I'm not angry, how can I be angry for a minister? No matter how bad the situation is, can it be as despairing as when I was at Ganye Temple..."
While he was silently comforting himself, rapid footsteps sounded, and Eunuch Cai rushed into the palace, rolling and crawling, hissing: "The Queen Mother...it's too late...it's too late...then Li Yuanfang is already holding Wu Yizong's head...
