Chapter 909: Fifty miles away from Beijing

Of course, Wu Meiniang refused to say that she was Wu Meiniang. She always called herself Yang Chunhua, and the fact that she was Wu Meiniang did not spread on a large scale. Chu Suiliang and Fang Xuanling did not leak this matter before Changsun Wuji returned to Chang'an, but were just waiting to find an opportunity to give Wu Meiniang a fatal blow!

Wu Meiniang was named as a young talent, and blew the wind on Li Zhi's pillow. Li Zhi issued an order to make Di Renjie the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and he was considered the deputy of Dali Temple. In fact, because the Dali Temple's minister had already begun to protect himself, all the matters of Dali Temple, theoretically, fell into the hands of Di Renjie and Qin Shaoqing. Qin Shaoqing saw the huge changes in the court, so he was so scared that he had been ill at home and did not dare to go to the yamen to handle affairs. In this way, Dali Temple was equivalent to Di Renjie's decision.

Di Renjie is not stupid either. He knows why the newly favored Empress Yang is so kind to him. First, he sells good things to Wang Ping'an and conveys a message to Wang Ping'an through his affairs that she will not be enemies with Wang Ping'an, and second, he asks Di Renjie to deal with those royal people who oppose her.

Among the royal family, there are many people who oppose Wu Meiniang, but no matter who opposes Wu Meiniang, Wu Meiniang will immediately send someone to "check the property" to check whether those people in the royal family have embezzled and accepted bribes, and whether they have used their power to collect benefits. As long as she uses this trick, almost no one in the royal family will be spared.

Not to mention anything else, when the royal family celebrates their birthdays, the gift-giving people are no longer there. However, when checking the property, the imperial guards treat all the bribes they receive and what gifts they receive, and report them to Li Zhi. In anger, Li Zhi naturally wants to send the royal family to Dali Temple, and what Di Renjie has to do is to deal with these "unknowing current affairs".

Wu Meiniang used this trick, not only scared the people in the royal family, but also many of the ministers in the court were scared. Many of them were not clean, so it would be fine if they didn't check it. After checking, few people could run away!

In the current court, except for a few important officials who know the inside story, almost all the ministers are afraid of Wu Meiniang. If Wu Meiniang sneezes in the palace, a storm can storm in the court!

Di Renjie personally wrote a letter to Wang Ping'an. He asked Wang Ping'an what to do, should he mess with those in the royal family according to Wu Meiniang's wishes, or would he turn against Wu Meiniang now?

Wang Ping'an wrote a reply to Di Renjie, asking him to be calm and not to turn against "Yang Chunhua" immediately. If he turns against him now, Wu Meiniang will give up Di Renjie's official position. If Di Renjie wants to make a difference in the upcoming battle, he must have power. Otherwise, Di Renjie will be beaten back to the prototype, and at the critical moment, he will no longer be able to restrain Wu Meiniang.

Wang Ping'an asked Di Renjie to secretly protect the people in the royal family, but never kill anyone. The revenge would be a big deal. He had to secretly sell favors and get the support of the people in the royal family. Only in this way can a force be formed to fight against Wu Meiniang at a critical moment.

On the way of the march, letters were constantly coming and going, and Changsun Wuji became more and more anxious as he read it. On this day, after camping, Changsun Wuji called Wang Ping'an and said, "Wujian, the matter is much more serious than I guess. Wu Meiniang is too powerful and acts so quickly. If she takes time, she will be afraid that she can even do the matter of placing memorials on behalf of the emperor!"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Is it still a matter of criticizing memorials on behalf of the emperor? In a short time, you will see that Wu Meiniang can even do the matter of governing the country from behind the curtain. Others listen to the politics behind the curtain, but Wu Meiniang listens to her husband's politics. How is it? Tell me that her behavior is not only unprecedented, but also no one comes later. "

Thinking of this in his heart, he couldn't say it out. He just said in surprise: "If this is the case, then it would be a bad idea. Is she treating the emperor as? The emperor is her husband, not a son!"

Changsun Wuji's lips moved and wanted to say something, but he swallowed it. What he wanted to say was that the emperor was her son. She was the concubine of the late emperor, which was equivalent to the emperor's mother. It would be not wrong to say that the emperor was her son!

When Changsun Wuji thought of this, he became angry and said, "The Martial Demon Girl must be eliminated and must not be tolerated anymore. The first thing I did after returning to Chang'an was to let her blood splatter three feet!"

Wang Ping'an didn't dare to say anything. If you let her blood splatter three feet away, then you can do it yourself, just like letting Li Ke die, but don't let me do it. I have never killed anyone in my life, and I have never even killed a chicken!

Changsun Wuji got angry and gave Wang Ping'an a patriotic education, so that he would draw a clear line with the Martial Demon Girl. He could not learn from Li Ji and had no position. What would be the result of no position? He was made into an empty shell. A general who led the army had no soldiers in his hands. Wouldn't he just live a life without meaning!

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "I really want to live a meaningless life. Isn't the happiest thing in the world just to eat and drink and be happy? Meaning, this is the best meaning!"

Changsun Wuji was anxious and even more mobilized the army, and the march was faster. Within a few days, they arrived fifty miles away from Chang'an City. When the army marched here, without the emperor's order, they could not move forward. They wanted to let the emperor decide whether to go directly to Beijing to Kuawu, or hold a welcome ceremony thirty miles away from the city. The emperor was the commander of the general, and the commander could not take the command without authorization.

After the army set up camp, Changsun Wuji wrote a letter to his old friends in the court, asking them to think of solutions sooner. The letter was sent out first. After waiting for two hours, he wrote a memorial to Emperor Li Zhi, reporting that he had arrived fifty miles away from the capital. What should he do? He also asked the emperor to inform him.

Because it takes time to send letters, neither Chu Suiliang nor the emperor replied that night, before going to bed, and it was estimated that letters and imperial edicts would arrive until tomorrow during the day.

However, in the second half of the night, Wang Ping'an was sleeping, but was woken up by Ouyang Li. Ouyang Li said in the tent: "Master, the Prime Minister Changsun wants you to go to his tent, and now go."

Wang Ping'an stood up in shock and asked, "What's going on? Why did you call me over at this time? But a letter from the capital was sent?"

Ouyang Li outside the tent said: "It's Chu Suiliang who came here in person!"

Wang Ping'an said, but he didn't expect that Chu Suiliang came in person! It was so late, Chu Suiliang came in person, and something must have happened, otherwise he could just send someone to come. What can I say in the letter? I have to say it in person?

Wang Ping'an said: "I'll go right away." He got up, put on his clothes, left the tent, and immediately ran towards Changsun Wuji's tent.

He and Changsun Wuji's tent were not far away, and arrived in a moment. Wang Ping'an came outside the tent and saw the lights coming out of the tent. He said, "Uncle, my nephew is here!"

A sound came from the tent. As soon as you heard the sound of talking, you knew that Changsun Wuji was in an extremely bad mood now. Changsun Wuji said, "Come in quickly."

Wang Ping'an opened the curtain and saw Changsun Wuji sitting behind the desk wearing clothes. Chu Suiliang was sitting next to him. Chu Suiliang was wearing black clothes, just like a night walker, looking at him with a sad face.

Wang Ping'an entered the tent and asked directly: "Uncle Chu, why are you here? But something happened in the capital?"

Chu Suiliang was not polite and did not say anything. He said: "There was indeed an accident in the capital. The emperor suddenly issued an order, saying that the enthronement ceremony would be held tomorrow and the Martial Witch Girl would be the queen!"

Wang Ping'an sat next to Chu Suiliang and said in surprise: "Tomorrow? Why is it tomorrow? Could it be that it was ready long ago? But if you had prepared in advance, you should have known the specific date of Uncle Chu, why hasn't it been mentioned in the letter?"

Chu Suiliang sighed and said, "What are you going to prepare for? What are you going to prepare for? The emperor is not a big marriage and marrying the queen. He just deposed one and established another. The emperor said that the treasury is not yet abundant, and everything is simple, because you and Wuji Gong have returned and included Goguryeo into the territory of my Tang Dynasty. It is considered to be a great contribution. It should be celebrated. This is a expense. If the new title is held, it will be another expense. It is better to combine two ceremonies together. This is both grand and can save a lot of money."

Wang Ping'an said with a whisper and looked at Changsun Wuji. He saw Changsun Wuji's face turned ashen and his eyes were rolling around. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he probably wanted to kill Wu Meiniang?

Chu Suiliang said again: "The emperor also said that taking this opportunity to parade, the new queen will meet the ministers and the army, and let the army cheer. Anyway, the army will return to the court and the emperor will receive the emperor, and the soldiers and generals will cheer. Otherwise, they will cheer with him and the Martial Demon Girl. This will be convenient and powerful. Not only will the people of Chang'an see the might of our army in the east, but they can also be loyal to the new queen and recognize her as the mother of a country!"

Wang Ping'an said: "This is a killing two birds with one stone. I'm afraid this idea was not what the emperor thought of, and even if it was what he thought of, why did he suddenly say it today?"

"Are you afraid that we old ministers will object?" Chu Suiliang said with a sneer and said, "These words are the emperor's meaning, but the emperor did not say anything at all. After the court was dispersed, when it was dark, the ministers all left the palace. Then Mi Xiaomiao sent eunuchs to various provinces and departments to announce the orders one by one. Once the order was issued, the palace gate was closed. We wanted to go in and persuade the emperor to think twice. It was impossible to get it. We could only wait for tomorrow to do business!"

Changsun Wuji snorted angrily and said, "It must be all the Martial Demon Girl's idea. The emperor himself will never come up with this idea. Isn't this just to let us recognize the new queen of the Martial Demon Girl in front of the people of Chang'an? In such an occasion, we should take the overall situation into consideration and the royal face. We cannot object in front of the people, but as long as tomorrow passes, the Martial Demon Girl will become the queen. It is for sure. It will be useless for us to object. We cannot destroy the two queens in one breath!"

Chu Suiliang said angrily: "Is it necessary to cook the raw rice into a cooked rice or cook it in front of the people of Chang'an? Think about it, how many people will come to see tomorrow. If this matter is confirmed, it will never change again. We must come up with a solution tonight, otherwise we will all die without a place to bury!"

Wang Ping'an grinned and said, "It's not so serious, Wu Mei... If the Martial Demon Witch wants to be the queen, she will be satisfied if she becomes the queen. As long as we don't fight against her, why should she kill us? How can she talk about death without a burial place?"

Changsun Wuji slapped his thigh and said, "It's not serious yet? Brother Chu, tell this kid about Brother Ma's affairs so that he won't be confused anymore!"

Chu Suiliang said: "After receiving the imperial edict, Brother Ma firmly opposed this matter because he was too Zhou Zheng. He was the imperial teacher. When the emperor did such a thing, he believed that he had great responsibility, so he entered the palace from the Yeting Palace. He went directly to Jingyang Bell and wanted to ring the Jingyang Bell!"

Wang Ping'an was shocked and said, "The Jingyang Bell was ringed? This is a big deal. Isn't this the same thing as the Martial Demon Girl's affairs being announced to the world? If this happens, the Martial Demon Girl will not be the queen. She will hate Master Ma to the core, and maybe she will do something fierce!"

Chu Suiliang shook his head and said, "Of course there was no sound. He was privately entering the palace. Although he ran fast all the way, he was blocked by a group of eunuchs as soon as he arrived at Jingyang Zhong. He was arrested and locked up in the palace. He didn't know where he was locked up. We couldn't get into the palace, so we didn't know the specific matters, but through the palace people, we finally knew a little bit, but the person who passed the message was too low and could not find out where Brother Ma was locked up. We wanted to rescue him, but it was impossible to get it!"

Wang Ping'an was stunned and thought to himself: "It's over, this is a sword drawing! Both sides lit up the sword. Whether Wu Meiniang wins or the ministers win, it depends on tomorrow!"

Chu Suiliang said again: "That's not all. The palace immediately issued an order. A team of imperial guards surrounded Brother Ma's mansion. Brother Ma's family was placed under house arrest. If something happened to Brother Ma, the whole family would be killed! Just as our old ministers were discussing countermeasures, the palace was like lightning flashing, and another imperial decree was heard, saying that because the new queen was about to be established, the Martial Demon Girl wanted to meet the ministers' wives and children, and also sent a large group of imperial guards to bring our wives and children into the palace. This imperial decree came so quickly that it was not the emperor's style, but the Martial Demon Girl's idea!"

Wang Ping'an was even more shocked and said, "Have your family all entered the palace?" Fortunately, thanks to his sending all his parents away, otherwise his parents would have to enter the palace.

Chu Suiliang spread his hands and said, "Of course he can only go in. If he doesn't go in, even if we resist the order and do not obey the order, we will have to end up with Brother Ma. If we are all arrested, then tomorrow will be the world of the Martial Demon Witcher alone? What if she doesn't want to do!"

Wang Ping'an nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, only by keeping a useful body can you continue with her!" When he thought that Wu Meiniang actually took hostages and arrested the ministers' wives and children, he couldn't help feeling sad that the rabbit died and the fox was so sad that what Wu Meiniang did to the ministers today might be on her turn tomorrow.

It doesn’t matter how he and Wu Meiniang are, but once they are involved in their family, Wang Ping'an will not give in easily.
