Chapter 84: Embarrassed for a traitor!
The assassination of the great general of Jinwu Guard Qiu Shenji was only a trivial matter, but the assassination of the queen Wu family in Ziwei Palace was really a big deal.
Ziwei Palace has strict defenses and is surrounded by the six armies of the Northern Yamen. No matter how you think about it, Qiu Shenji could not imagine who could be so bold and dare to challenge Ziwei Palace with strict defenses.
Qiu Shenji thought that he was not weak in martial arts, but if he asked him to assassinate Wu, there would definitely be no return...
But Qiu Shenji was a little convinced that Wu clan would definitely not lie. With Wu clan's lofty status, would he need to tell such a lie to a minister?
As soon as he thought of this, Qiu Shenji's thoughts became active. He had a sudden idea of the strategy of retreating and advancing that Luo Wenzhi planned for him. Isn't this strategy just right for Wu?
The Wu family has strong iron fist and powerful. Since its independence, it has suppressed many resistances. It can be said that those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. The ministers in the court have changed one after another, and more than a dozen prime ministers have been killed.
Even so, Wu's family wanted to ascend the throne, and at this critical moment, they still had no fear of death. Fengge Assistant Liu Zhizhi was a typical representative.
Wu Zetian was furious because of Liu Zhi's affairs and directly sentenced Liu Zhi to death, and beheaded or exiled many officials involved in the Liu Zhi's case. His methods were extremely bloody and cruel.
The court was shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere. Under such circumstances, many people dared not show up, but some people were bound to be unwilling to accept it in secret. This time, Wu's assassination might be related to this.
Qiu Shenji crawled on the ground again and said, "Grand Queen, Mo Jiang is really ashamed. At this time, Mo Jiang can't take care of himself and cannot give you any worries..."
He paused a little and continued, "But the loyalty of the General to the Queen is to be seen by the sun and the moon, unlike some people in the court who are flattered on the surface, but are restless in the secret.
I will voluntarily resign this time, wanting to go to Bozhou to experience it, which is to reflect on my own popularity and be jealous of others recently. If I retreat, it may be a good opportunity to surface!
And the current situation in the court, I thought it would be possible! The so-called way of relaxing the civil and military affairs, the queen of heaven can relax the situation, and maybe those clowns will pop up one by one again. At that time, queen of heaven can easily distinguish loyalty and treacherous!"
Wu Zetian's brows gradually frowned. Qiu Shenji's words were actually not very clever. With Wu Zetian's vision and wrists, he certainly wanted to do so, but is it really OK to do so? This forced her to hesitate.
She knew very well who her opponents were. Among Li Tang's ministers, those rebels who were seeking fame and brave enough to be almost done.
The only remaining people are cunning and powerful characters. These people are all weird. Will Wu Zetian use such unwise means to work?
Wu Zetian gently tapped the paperweight on the table with his fingers, and his eyes turned to Qiu Shenji. Qiu Shenji happened to look up at her. The two of them looked at each other. Qiu Shenji only felt his heart trembling, and he was so scared that he quickly lowered his head, and his heart was "thump, thump".
A demon who was murderous and covered in blood on his hands was actually so scared in front of a woman. If it weren't for seeing it with his own eyes, it would be difficult for people to believe it if he told it out.
"Okay, since you said that, I'll let you go! Go back and wait for the news. Go to Bozhou and do it well. Don't let me down again!"
Qiu Shenji knelt down and thanked him, and then slowly left the palace and walked out of the palace. He immediately went straight to Wu Chengsi's mansion. Wu Chengsi was upset recently, especially after the Liu Zhi case, he urgently wanted to overthrow the right prime minister of Wenchang Li Zhaode, and the internal envoy Zhang Guangfu made him extremely afraid.
He originally thought that he could use Liu Zhizhi's case to improvise Wenchangtai and Luantai Fengge to clean up Wenchangtai and Luantai Fengge. Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Zhizhi's case came out, it immediately encountered a huge rebound, and Wu Chengsi had no opportunity to take advantage of it.
"Martial Master Wu, at this moment, because of Liu Zhi's case, all forces in the capital were in a panic, many people had to surrender to save their lives, but they were secretly ready to move!
Who is the Queen of Heaven? Seeing that these people were frightened, she simply relaxed and let go, just wait for these traitors to show their true faces and then beat them all up in one net. That was the Queen of Heaven's plan!" Qiu Shenji said, his face full of flattery.
Wu Chengsi originally had an identity and didn't really look down on a speculative martial artist like Shangqiu Shenji from the bottom of his heart. If it were normal, he wouldn't have seen him at all.
But today, Wu Chengsi happened to encounter trouble, and Qiu Shenji happened to talk about his heart. He couldn't help but look at him with admiration and immediately said:
"General Qiu's statement really made Mao Se suddenly, but the queen of the emperor has his considerations, but we ministers have to take the initiative to solve her problems..."
Qiu Shenji smiled and said, "The Wu Xiang is indeed an old minister who is planning a country. This sentence comes to the point. Who will solve the worries of the queen of heaven if we are ministers?
The Prime Minister can tell that the current danger of Luoyang is not in Wenchangtai, nor in Luantai Fengge. The real terrible person is Di Renjie who went to Beijing to apologize without following the imperial edict!
This person seeks fame and is as cunning as a fox. He has been respecting the queen on the surface over the years, but in fact he has secretly linked up with the traitors of Li Tang. This time he went to Beijing, he stayed in the capital and refused to leave. Even the ministers in Fengge Luantai were vaguely led by him.
He was a little Sima, and he was actually respected as the old man of the country. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Prime Minister, this alone shows his ambition. He was more powerful and terrifying than Li Zhaode!"
Wu Chengsi's face changed, and without saying a word, Qiu Shenji said again: "Di Renjie is also suspected of killing Wu Youmin, the young master of Wu's family. In his eyes, you are afraid that you can't have a place..."
Wu Chengsi suddenly looked at Qiu Shenji, his eyes were bright, and he said word by word: "General Qiu, it seems that the general is here to give gifts today? But as far as I know, Di Renjie has Li Yuanfang next to him, and this person is a top expert trained by his aunt. Even if General Qiu is powerful, he is afraid that he will be equal to Li Yuanfang at most..."
Qiu Shenji laughed and said, "Don't worry, Wu Xiang, in order to do this, I have resigned from my position as the general and am willing to go to Bozhou as the governor! I left with one blow, and I didn't know what to do. Di Renjie died. Those who are ready to move can still hold back? At that time, Prime Minister, you only need to follow the flow to eliminate all kinds of difficulties for the Empress of the Heavenly Queen. In the Empress of the Heavenly Queen, who can shake your status? Then Li Zhaode is afraid that he will have to stand aside!"
