The morning mist in Luoyang was amiable. Wu slowly stepped into Ziwei Palace under the escort of the female guards. Zhou Xing, the assistant minister of the Qiuguan (Ministry of Justice), Lai Junchen, Wenchang (Shangshu) right prime minister Li Zhaode, Fengge (Shushu) shenter Su Weidao, Fengge (Shushu) assistant minister Liu Zhi, Jia Dayin, and Suzheng's grandpa Qian Weidao and other ministers have lined up to wait.

When the ministers met the queen of heaven, Wu raised his hand gently and said, "Okay, yesterday we held a banquet to congratulate our Jinwu army for their rebellion and meritorious efforts. Many rioters who disrespect the court and confusing the localities were pacified. I (the Empress Dowager of the Tang Dynasty can also call me) were happy!

However, when I went back to the banquet, I couldn’t sleep all night. I dare to ask you, can you just like me, sleep all night?"

Although Wu's family is in their sixties, they are still noble in character, fair-skinned and beautiful in appearance, looking at the mountains like a woman in her thirties or forties. However, no one of the court officials dared to look at her directly. Everyone lowered their heads and looked down at her. The atmosphere in the palace was subtle and weird.

Today is not a great dynasty meeting. Since the reign of Emperor Gaozong, the Wu family has liked to engage in such small-scale discussions. For example, the "Bachelor of the North Gate" was the pioneering move of the Wu family to control the regime.

All the ministers familiar with the Wu family know that the greater the dynasty meeting, the more they discuss small matters, and the smaller the discussion, the more important the matters are, on the contrary, the discussion may be big things, and if there are any omissions and negligence, it may cause big trouble.

Zhou Xing was the first to leave the list. He was born clean and slim, and was not as cruel and cruel as a cruel person. He saluted to Wu family in a regular manner: "The Queen of Heaven can't sleep at night. It should be for Di Renjie to obstruct the rebellion and secretly collude with the rebellion of the kings! Di Renjie has been sent to my Ministry of Justice. Just ask the Queen of Heaven to give the order. I can keep it to him.

Once this villa is eliminated, the other little guys will be shocked. From then on, the court will be peaceful and no one will dare to offend the power of heaven again!"

After Zhou Xing finished speaking, the echoes shook in the empty hall. Wu's face had no expression, and the expressions on the faces of the ministers were different.

Zhou Xing felt something was wrong. He couldn't help but look up at Wu. Wu raised his eyebrows slightly and said lightly: "What do you think?"

Right Prime Minister Li Zhaode stood up coldly and said, "Yesterday, two more generals were assassinated in the Jinwu Guards! Hehe, Di Renjie has returned to Luoyang. He was in the palace last night. Could it be that he was still commanding the assassins to kill people at that time?"

"Mr. Zhou, it is far-fetched to say that Di Renjie is the mastermind behind the murder. He is Sima, Luozhou, and there is a murder case in Hegong County. He sent someone to find out what is legitimate and natural. Why do you have to say that his subordinates are assassins? He arrested people without evidence, and then he was beaten up. Could it be that Er and others thought Di Renjie was like you?

Di Renjie was wrongfully killed, which was the majesty of His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, and the majesty of my Tang Dynasty. Do you do things like you, only conjectures and recklessness, ignore the queen of Heaven's saint face?"

Li Zhaode was handsome and sharp in his words. Zhou Xing and others changed their colors. They wanted to speak several times, but they didn't know where to start.

Yesterday, the assassination case outside Luoyang had already reached the capital today. The news shocked the gods because Di Renjie was in the palace yesterday, how could he arrange to kill people?

Lai Junchen said with a sinister face: "Li Xiang is right, but it cannot be ruled out that Di Renjie's subordinates deliberately murdered people in order to make up for him and surrounded Wei and saved Zhao!"

Fengge Minister Liu Zhizhi sneered: "Di Renjie is poor and poor, and everyone in the world knows that only Li Yuanfang is the personal guard beside him. Li Yuanfang is also the guard trained by the queen himself. If there is really an assassin, it can only be Li Yuanfang.

From yesterday to today, Di Renjie's carriage has been outside the palace, and a palace servant in the inner court went to see it. Wouldn't it be clear if Li Yuanfang is called over?"

Lai Junchen said: "Xiaoguan, it is said that in Hegong County, Di Renjie also trained two young talents. These two are suspected of killing Wu Youmin, the son of the Wu family. If it were these two..."

"My Lord Lai's words are not worth refuting. As far as I know, the two people in Hegong County are said to be from the fields. They can come and go freely in the Jinwu Guards Army of the Tang Dynasty and kill the General of the Jinwu Guard?" Liu Zhi said coldly.

Lai Junchen was speechless and was refuted to say nothing. Wu said, "Who else has anything to say?"

The audience was silent and no one spoke. Wu said, "Pingting, go outside the palace and ask Li Yuanfang to come to the palace to see me!"

The waitress, Tingting walked out of a girl in red palace outfit. Seeing this girl, she had a goose face, a high nose bridge, and a tall and upright figure. She really looked good.

The girl sang, then quickly walked out of the palace and ran all the way to the outside of the palace gate. Sure enough, there was an ox cart parked outside the palace gate, and an old Cangtou sat in front of the ox cart.

"Is Mr. Li Yuanfang in the car?"

The curtain of the ox cart was lifted open, and a young man in green jumped off the ox cart. He glanced at the woman in front of him, hurriedly avoided his gaze, and his heart jumped "thump, thump".

Li Yuanfang knew that the woman in front of her must be the female guard beside the queen. She immediately wanted to kneel down and the girl in the palace dress smiled and said, "Mr. Li, Queen of Heaven has an order to let you enter the palace to meet the saint!"

After the girl said that, she turned around and left. Li Yuanfang was stunned and didn't know how to respond. The girl turned her head and frowned and said, "Come on? Could it be that you still have to ask the queen to prepare a sedan chair for you?"

"Ah..." Li Yuanfang woke up like a dream, and his cheeks suddenly turned red. He felt deeply ashamed that he had been so disobedient by a female guard.

He coughed gently, touched his chest with his hand, which was vaguely painful, and thought of the shock he had last night. He almost couldn't come back. If he couldn't come back, there would be no chance to defend himself today.

He hasn't figured out why the soldiers who besieged him from all sides suddenly retreated last night, but now he can't think too much about it. He must keep his highest vigilance when facing the saint.

Restrained his mind, Li Yuanfang walked up to the hall and paid homage to Wu. Wu stared at him, smiled softly, and said, "Yuanfang, I haven't seen you for several years, right?"

Li Yuanfang knelt on the ground and said excitedly: "The Queen of Heaven's kindness is unforgettable. The Queen of Heaven asked the Queen of Heaven to protect Lord Sima. Although Yuanfang tried his best, he also neglected. I came here to ask for death today!"

After Li Yuanfang finished speaking, she knelt on the ground, cried bitterly, and told the whole story about Hegong County.

He only said that he went to Hegong County to investigate the murder of Wu Youmin. He omitted all the joints about Yue Feng and Qiangzi, and bit him to death without killing anyone. Finally, he said with striking remarks:

"There are many adults in the palace today. Don't you know that Lord Di is a human being? Lord Di has always followed the Tang Dynasty's laws when he acted. Even if he hates Wu Youmin's actions, he will definitely use the law to control it. How can he use such violent and extreme means?

As for the assassination in Jinwu Guard, it is even more nonsense. Master Sima once served as the prime minister of Wenchang Pavilion. How could he be so reckless and break the law by knowing the law? Such false accusations are simply not worth refuting!”

Li Yuanfang's statement was said by others, except for Zhou Xing and other cruel officials.

Wu Zetian laughed and said, "I knew Di Qing would definitely not do such a rebellious thing. Yuan Fang, you go to the Ministry of Justice later and take Di Gong back for me for a good rest.
