Chapter three hundred and ninety seventh at all costs
Shangyang Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Wu Zetian was writing at her desk. She had written many of the same characters. The fonts were beautiful and beautiful, with a domineering aura:
"Govern the country with justice, use strange troops, and win the world with nothing to do."
Qiu Shuang was serving paper and ink next to the dragon desk, showing an admiration on her face; Wu Changze bent on the other side of the dragon desk, with a faint smile on her face.
On the ground in front of the Dragon Case, Qiancheng County Prince Wu Youji stood there tremblingly, saying:
"I have already told the emperor's meaning several times, but when she heard this, she cried, made a fuss and hanged, causing trouble for the whole house, and she didn't even speak at all. I really couldn't convince her. I was willing to ask the emperor to take back his life!"
Wu Zetian raised his head from the desk, stared at Wu Youxu's face with a bright gaze, then smiled faintly, and said in an approachable but unquestionable tone: "Youji, go back and pass on my oral order to your wife. If she obediently agrees to be a side room, I will confer the honor of her mother's family, give her father the prince, and give her mother the first-rank lady."
After hearing Wu Zetian's words, Qiu Shuang and Wu Chang, who were standing on both sides of the Long Case, were secretly surprised. In order to get Princess Taiping to marry a family, the emperor actually signed a prince and a first-rank lady out. He really spent a lot of money. I wonder why she did this?
Even Wu Chang and Qiu Shuang couldn't guess what Wu Zetian thought.
Since Gao Lishi learned from Princess Taiping that she invited Zhang Lin on the street, Wu Zetian was a little restless and worried. She knew that if a girl was old or not, something would inevitably happen if she stayed. If something happened, it would be a big thing, and it would be very likely to repeat the story she had experienced back then!
It’s not that she doesn’t like herself, but from another perspective, she really hates her actions.
In order to prevent the story of her day from happening again, she must marry Princess Taiping as soon as possible. No matter who she married, as long as she is a child of the Wu family, she can do it.
This is what Wu Zetian thinks now. In order to achieve this goal, she can spare no expense or use any means.
"I am the one who is a good man, thanking the emperor for his kindness!" Wu Youji's face appeared joyful, and he hurriedly bowed to thank him.
Wu Youji was not stupid. He thought in his heart that with the emperor's oral order, his wife would agree no matter how unreasonable his wife would not agree. If she still disagrees, she would offend the emperor and forgive her for being brave enough to do so. Besides, even if his wife is brave and refuses to obey the order, her family would not let her do whatever she wants, and let the title of the prince and the first-rank lady fall from the sky fly away!
In the past, Wu Youji never thought about changing his wife, because he had a deep affection with his wife, and he was quite afraid of his inner self. Since he received the emperor's will and took the courage to negotiate with his wife about changing his wife, the thought in his heart has become increasingly strong from nothing to something, from slight to thirsty to prosperity, now it has become increasingly strong.
Although he is now the emperor's nephew, and is named the prince, and is rich and prosperous, the emperor has many nephews and princes, which is not surprising at all in the Wu family.
Once he is united with Princess Taiping, he will transform into a prince consort. There is only one prince consort, and that will be unparalleled and glorious!
Since the news that he wanted to change his wife, Princess Shang Taiping, spread the news, the Wu brothers were envious and jealous of him, especially Wu Chengsi, who was even more sad and jealous. They sent people to advise him not to follow the orders again and again. This is enough to show that the identity of the prince consort will surpass everything.
To be honest, Wu Youji is also ambitious. Although he is not as great as Wu Chengsi, as long as he has a little bit of ambition, it is like a seed. When it comes to the nourishment of wind and rain, and when it is washed away by opportunities, it will take root and sprout, break out of the ground, and grow vigorously.
Wu Youji was very excited and a little fluttered. When he went out, he didn't pay attention to the road. Outside the imperial study, he hit Wu Youxu, the general of Qianniuwei.
"Youji, why are you so happy?" Wu Youxu asked with a frown.
"No, am I happy? To be honest, I have too much trouble to have a headache." Wu Youji wiped his face and looked very innocent.
Wu Youxu shook his head speechlessly, patted Wu Youji on the shoulder, but then walked towards the Imperial Study.
After making a promise to Wu Youji, Wu Zetian felt that good things had come true. She was in a good mood, with a bright smile on her face, and said in her mouth:
"Govern the country with justice, use strange troops, and win the world with nothing to do! Qiu Shuang, what do you think of this word?"
Qiu Shuang quickly exclaimed respectfully: "Your Majesty, this calligraphy is beautiful and has a thorough idea, and can be used as a motto for governing the government!"
"Well said it! Qiu Shuang is my soulmate!" Wu Zetian smiled and was filled with joy.
At this moment, a eunuch appeared at the door and respectfully replied: "Emperor, General Wu Youxu, Qianniu Guard, met with him."
"Call~" Wu Zetian was in a good mood and waved to the outside of the hall gate with a spring breeze on his face.
Wu Youxu walked into the study with a gentle and respectful pace, gave a deep respectful and deep courtesy, and then reported the results of the investigation seriously.
Regarding the progress of the disappearance of the Emperor Si, the Admiral of the East Factory and General Qianniuwei jointly reported to the emperor once a day. Because the disappearance of the Emperor Si is related to the country and the safety of the imperial court, it is more important than any other case.
After Zhang Lin was instigated to the Han Palace, the enthusiasm for Dongchang to investigate the case was greatly reduced. Ye Yu did not appear at the time of reporting, so Wu Youxu could only report it alone.
A few days ago, the East Factory besieged the Linglang Headquarters and captured Min De, but the emperor's heir was taken away by Linglang. The whole city searched, but no whereabouts were found. Although there was no result, they needed to report to the emperor every day to investigate the case.
"Emperor, after many days of investigation and search by Dongchang and Qianniuwei, there is still no clue to where the whereabouts of the emperor's heir is." Wu Youxu bowed his fists and told the truth.
The smile on Wu Zetian's face disappeared without a trace. She raised her hand and patted Long Case, and cursed angrily: "Well, this evil boy, I really want to piss me to death!"
"The Emperor, Qianniuwei and Dongchang have done their best and spared no effort to search the gods almost all, but no trace of the emperor's heir was found. This is because our ability is not as good as possible. Please punish the emperor." Wu Youxu took the initiative to apologize.
"There is no need to punish!" Wu Zetian waved his hand, "From today, you must increase your efforts to investigate the case and find that evil son as soon as possible!"
"Emperor, the disappearance of the emperor is the most important case in our dynasty at present. Once the emperor is defeated by Li De, the situation of the two armies will change a lot. Therefore, finding the emperor is an urgent task, and our ability is indeed not as good as that of the emperor. I suggest that Lord Di be transferred back to investigate the case, because in terms of investigation, we are not as good as Di Renjie!" Wu Youxu said passionately, righteous, upright and selfless.
After hearing Wu Youxu's words to recall Di Renjie to investigate the case, Wu Zetian thought of the person who was locked up in the cold palace. Di Renjie is good at investigating the case, but after more than a month of comparison, there is another person who is more capable than Di Renjie. Within more than a month, Di Renjie's case had just been found out, but another person had investigated countless cases and was sentenced immediately.
Isn’t it a waste of effort to put people who are skilled in the investigation of the case near Shendu, but they have to transfer people far away in Youzhou to come back to investigate the case?
But when Wu Zetian thought of the person locked in the cold palace, she felt angry. Not only did he hang out with Shangguan Wan'er, but he also colluded with Princess Taiping, which was simply a copy of her back then!
Is this God's punishment for herself? She doesn't know.
But she knew that it was not time to let that person come out yet, and she said in her heart that it would be better not to come at that time.
Although Wu Zetian heard what Wu Youxu meant, she still pretended to be confused and smiled at him:
"Youzhou has been besieged by the Turkic army. How can Di Renjie get back to the frequent military affairs? You should try your best to investigate."
After saying that, she picked up her brush and buried her head in writing, as if nothing had happened.
