Chapter 147 Compromise
In the main hall of the imperial palace in Luoyang City, Wu Zetian stared at the decree officer who was dying on the ground and died in a daze.
Just a moment ago, the edict sent by her to Cheng Yaojin's mansion suddenly returned. The guards of the edict returned to the palace first and told them in the hall how the edict angered the demon king Bai Wuqiu. Then the demon king hung him on the door in anger and drove them all back.
After seeing the changes of Bai Wuqiu, these people dared not be biased anymore, and what they said was a truth. Wu Zetian on the dragon throne frowned and scolded the edict in front of several Wu clans who were with him and offended the edict in front of the people of the Wu clan. The imperial edict he gave to Cheng Yaojin only showed the current sinister situation on the battlefield. He was extremely polite in words, and was far less serious than the edict said. When he came back, he would punish him strictly...
Before Wu Zetian could finish his fire, news suddenly came that the edict was sent back to submit the edict. Wu Zhao was worried that he could not find anyone to vent his anger. After hearing this person came back, he immediately summoned him into the palace.
At the beginning, the edict did not show anything wrong. After following the rules, he did not receive the oral order from the queen to get up, so he could only kneel on the ground honestly. At that moment, Wu Zetian slapped the case, and then said to the edict: "You still have the face to come back? I asked you to send an edict to King Cheng. What are you going to provoke the disciples around King Cheng? Those people are all great men who have become immortals and have the power to offend them for me... You were bribed by the Li clan and want to cause a dispute between me and the high men. Are their Li clan members planning to take advantage of the situation? Speaking! Are you mute..."
As soon as Wu Zetian finished speaking, the edict suddenly stood up and said to the queen with a confused face, "Wu Cairen, what are you saying? You are a little concubine in the harem, how dare you regard yourself as me? I thought that after I passed away, I would be lawless and no one would govern you, right?"
What was said from the edict was the voice of the late emperor Taizong Emperor Li Shimin. Wu Zetian was so scared that she sat on the dragon throne. She was elected as the concubine of Emperor Taizong, but she was just a low-level concubine and had never been favored by Emperor Taizong. It was not until she got into the clan Li Zhi that she had risen to the top. Now, after decades, she heard the voice of Emperor Taizong again, which made her not scared...
Before Wu Zetian could understand what happened, the edict changed another voice. When he spoke, he was the voice of her second husband, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi: "Wu Meiniang! I took you back from Ganye Temple to the palace to let you instigate Li Tang's country? Say! What is the relationship between the murderer who killed me and you? You, a snake and scorpion woman..."
"I, I don't...I don't..." Wu Zetian did not dare to look at the eyes of the edict, but just dodged backwards and said stammeringly: "I have also been deceived by the officials with bad intentions and the Wu clan members... The two Majesties atone for their sins. Originally, I should have changed the power of the Li clan members now. However, there are many people who are watching the lords of the world in the court. Now that the announcement of the return of Li Tang is probably unfavorable to the Li clan. Please give your Majesty a grace period..."
"You can do it,..." Li Shimin and Li Zhi said two voices from the edict's mouth together. After a little hungry, the two voices said in unison: "Wu Meiniang, if you dare to deceive me again, seeing you next time will not be the situation today. How can you know it, right?"
After saying that, the head of the edict tilted, and then fell to the ground and died. After being frightened, Wu Zetian finally calmed down for a while and ordered the body of the edict tiator to be taken out of Chang'an City quickly and buried it deeply.
During the process of transporting the bodies, the eunuch in charge found that the body of the edict had begun to rot. After reporting to Empress Ke, after investigation by coroners sent by Jingzhao Yin, the person had been dead for several days. I don’t know why the stinking corpse after the death of someone did not spread...
After transporting the body out of the city to bury it, together with Wu Zetian, the Wu clan members who said Taizong and Gaozong's words, were hurriedly advised the empress and asked to return the power to the Li Tang clan. For them, the scene just now was too scary. Compared with wealth and honor, their lives were more important.
"Returning to power Li Tang... Don't you understand yet? Where is Taizong just now? Gaozong was admonishing..." Wu Zetian glanced at these incompetent tribes, and then continued: "This is clearly Wu Hong (the edict) died in Cheng Yaojin's mansion. They were worried that I could not be the King of Cheng, so they performed a show. The hat that killed Wu Hong was placed on Taizong and Gaozong's head..."
Speaking of this, Wu Zetian sighed. He called over to the female official who was serving him outside and wrote another imperial edict. He thought that Cheng Yaojin was old and did not give him any additional military positions. He allowed him to rest well. After repeated polishing of the literal words, he spoke very politely without a slight tone of blame.
It took only a few days for the six hundred miles to reach Cheng Yaojin's hand. After seeing the imperial edict, Lao Cheng laughed. Then he found Gui Bugui and said, "You are still thoughtful, Wu Meiniang has let me go. Now they beat them, I watch my fun..."
Gui Bugui smiled and then continued, "Wu Zhao is also a character, and this can't scare her. Unfortunately, she is a woman. Otherwise, the fate of the world might have really been rewritten. It's better for you to stay in Chang'an City to watch the fun, otherwise, something will happen to Yaojin sooner or later."
At this time, Bai Wuqiu, who was sitting aside, suddenly spoke, "Old guy, what about us? Should we stay in Chang'an City with this silly brother? Or should we go back to our own home?"
"Look at what Brother Wuqiu said, what is your own family? Brother, my mansion is our own family?" Cheng Yaojin laughed and pulled Bai Wuqiu's hand over and said, "Brother, I don't care whether you are living in this royal palace or not. Lao Cheng has already decided. No matter where you go, Lao Cheng, I will follow him. Dad, son, I think you are the biological father. You old man won't want Lao Cheng, right?"
"We don't go anywhere, just stay in your Chang'an City..." Gui Bugui smiled and glanced at Wu Mian who was silent. After seeing the white-haired man, he continued to say: "After so many years, we have been sleeping outside in the open. Finally, I have a son who is the king and can support the old man. Of course, I have to stay here for a few years. Yao Jin, we have been planning to eat you seriously for a few years."
"My son dreams that you and the seniors will live here for three or five hundred years..." Cheng Yaojin laughed. He had been worried that Lu Wuji would come back to take revenge on him before. Rather than Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and the others came to him, it would be better to say that Cheng Yaojin could finally sleep peacefully. Thinking of the secret that there might be monsters waiting to end him at any time, his heart trembled. Now, with Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and the others, Lu Wuji would not dare to do anything to himself even if he came...
From this day on, Wu Mian, Gui Bugui brought two monsters with him, and he officially lived in the Cheng Palace. Outside Chang'an City, Wu Zhou's army and the Li clan army fought hard. Several teams of people fought more than ten miles outside Chang'an City, but Chang'an City was always safe. No matter whether it was the official army or the rebels, they dared to enter Chang'an City. Without any desire, Xiao Ren San's way of having fun was to set up a table of banquets on the Chang'an City Tower, eating and drinking while watching the lively battle between the two armies in the distance.
After several months of stalemate, the rebels' military strength was incomplete and the food and grass was not good. General Li Xiaoyi of Wuzhou defeated the rebel general Xu Jingye, and the chaos after Wu Zetian's change of dynasty was finally settled...
One afternoon more than a year later, the housekeeper of Prince Cheng's mansion suddenly came to report that a noble man named Baijiang came to find Bai Wuqiu with a little baby...
