Chapter 259: Disaster is coming

Originally, Wu Zetian wanted to threaten Cui Song by thorough investigation, but just told Cui Song and asked Cui Song to stop quickly, but never expected that Cui Song would actually keep a move, and he suddenly had a look.

Wu Zetian couldn't help but be shocked.

In the past, Cui Feng, who was facing her, was naturally a reserved person. She was usually submissive and had no decision as a prime minister at all. However, today, she was wearing a needle in the cotton, which made people unable to start.

Wu Zetian said: "Oh? What clues did Cui Qing find?"

Cui Feng said seriously: "Your Majesty, last night, in Laifeng Tower, several of the Wei family's children were discussing the affair between Princess Taiping and Qin Shaoyou. They talked about the palace affairs and happened to be heard by the head of the Henan Prefecture. How could Henan Prefecture ignore such bad words? So, they had already taken these people last night. After interrogation, they realized that these people not only talked about the princess and Qin Shaoyou, but also said that Princess Taiping... has a child in her belly..."

“…”

Suddenly... the whole palace was in an uproar.

Just now, His Majesty also said that he would severely punish these perverts, but in a blink of an eye, Cui Feng reported it.

As for the children of the Wei family, they gather together to drink, they must discuss some right and wrong. This is human nature. The hottest thing at the moment is Qin Shaoyou and Princess Taiping, as well as their Wei family themselves. These Wei family members are usually kept in their stomachs in the mansion and dare not talk nonsense. Now they have finally released them, so of course they have to talk a lot.

When the person got drunk, he thought that Princess Taiping had an affair with Qin Shaoyou. The Wei family thought that something quite festive was a sudden loss of face. So, naturally, someone jumped out to scold Qin Shaoyou. After three glasses of wine, he was even more uncontrollable. Everyone told some of the latest news that Li Lingyue was pregnant. What is the child related to the surname Qin? It is said that Qin Shaoyou has often gone to the princess's house recently. The children of the Wei family couldn't help but feel sad and angry. Once the conversation was opened, they couldn't stop it.

Today, the atmosphere is very open, especially when marrying a princess. How many princesses are flawless? But it is common to everyone know this kind of thing, but they cannot be widely publicized. Now, the ups and downs of Luoyang and the Wei family are all watched with strange eyes, so they are naturally unhappy.

I guess they never expected that when they were drinking and talking, just like at any time, someone had already set their sights on them. After almost all, a group of people rushed in, and even after asking for someone, they took the person to Henan Prefecture. Henan Prefecture had already prepared it and interrogated it overnight, so the case naturally became an ironclad case.

This move is extremely smooth.

Now, Wu Zetian is angry at spreading rumors, but he never thought that Cui Feng had prepared a long time ago.

Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, and Cui Feng was obviously prepared. There were reserved plans for each step.

At this time, the censor who was ready to beat was already impatient. Someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard about this. How kind of kindness did Your Majesty treat Wei? He married the princess, but Wei did not know how to repay him. Instead, he despised the princess and ruined the princess like this. What are they going to do? His princess's daughter's body has not yet arrived at the Wei family. In their eyes, he is already a waste. If he really married, what should he do?"

Then, someone said: "I agree with what the saint said just now. If the rumors are not severely punished, it will not only damage the reputation of His Highness Taiping, but also give evil villains an opportunity to take advantage of it. At that time, it will be difficult to curb it again. I ask the saint to severely punish these unworthy people of the Wei family to serve as a warning."

With people starting, how could you not know what this means?

Cui Feng has been the prime minister for so many years, and the Cui family ranks first among the seven families and five surnames, and is the most powerful. Moreover, Zheng Rong from the three provinces follows his leader, and has always been a constant force with Di Renjie, who is known as the Qingming. Meng is not a good match, and his appeal is so powerful.

All officials flocked to impeachment, and some even became furious and said, "Sage, it is really a rebellious that Wei is so despised by His Highness. If the princess marry Wei, wouldn't she be humiliated in the palace? This marriage must not be done."

"The princess is humiliated and must not give up."

"The princess is marrying her down, not climbing her. Does the only little surname in Wannian dare to do this?"

Although Wei Xuanzhen did not serve as the minister, there were more or less people in the Wei family who were officials, and there were only a few qualified to participate in the court meeting. Now, seeing everyone criticizing the Wei family, I was so scared that my face looked like a slut.

Henan Prefecture suddenly took the people. From the time it was time to now, it did not give the Wei family enough time to respond in just a few hours. Now it has to argue or argue with reason, which will obviously only cause public anger. They dare not act rashly and fell to the ground, looking like they were being killed.

Qin Shaoyou saw many ministers with red eyes, and some even made extraordinary actions. He couldn't help but laugh. This era is actually far from the ritual norms like later dynasties, and every word and action is clear. So there was a chaotic situation in the hall, and the ministers were speechless, and even Shangguan Wan'er was anxious and hurriedly took a small hammer and looked at the golden bell in the back hall.

Dangdang... Dangdang...

The pleasant bell rang, and the sound was endless.

In the hall, the order was slightly restored.

Wu Zetian obviously felt that it was a bit tricky and said that he would punish him severely. As she said, she was angry that the Wei family members were involved in it. She was so unrestrained that she hated those Wei family members who were brave enough to despise their daughters.

However, even so, her determination to marry her daughter to the Wei family has not changed. After all, this is a political marriage, and of course it is impossible to change because of these things. It seems that before getting married, a few people from the Wei family will be severely punished. It seems... it is always inappropriate.

But now, it's really a bit difficult to get off the brink of death.

Wu Zetian hesitated a little, but saw Di Renjie stand up and said sternly: "Sage, shouldn't such unworthy children be severely punished? If you ignore them, where will the court be placed!"

This sentence is so reasonable.

If you really want to blame Wu Zetian, you can't blame Di Renjie. Di Renjie is not wrong. If someone insults the palace, shouldn't it be safeguarded? If Wu Zetian punishes people like Di Renjie for this, who else will stand up when someone insults the palace in the future?

After all, Wu Zetian could not withstand this pressure. She sternly said: "Go to the Censorate, investigate strictly, and punish him severely!"

The words were decisive, so everyone said one after another: "Your Majesty is wise."

Qin Shaoyou stood in it and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The overall situation was decided!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

A court discussion first started, but the content of the discussion was not good. After an hour, the ministers dispersed, and Wu Zetian seemed in a bad mood. She coughed a few times, and sat down to the back hall with Shangguan Wan'er's support. Shangguan Wan'er stood silently. After Wu Zetian took a bite of tea, she breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she said slowly: "Cui Xu is really amazing, as quiet as a virgin, and as moving as a rabbit. Alas... In the past, she was a kind person, and in the blink of an eye, she called the wind and rain."

Shangguan Wan'er pursed her lips and just listened quietly.

Wu Zetian's face did not have too much anger. She sighed and continued, "But I can't blame him. I can't succeed. At this critical moment, this new king is not far away to ascend the throne. The Cui family has such a big family business that has been going on for several dynasties. At this time, I am setting up a way out. Isn't Cui Xi also setting up a way out? Which of the officials in the court who are red with eyes in their eyes has no plan of their own? If they don't fight at this time, when will they have to wait? However, Qin Shaoyou... is strange, but he has been too quiet recently, but he doesn't know why."

Speaking of Qin Shaoyou, Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "He is building a city."

"Build a city?" Wu Zetian couldn't help laughing. She suddenly felt that Qin Shaoyou was a little cute. At this time, it was the time of the storm. Everyone was trying their best to fight for the next ten or twenty years of honor and disgrace. Even Cui Feng, who was usually as calm as water, had to fight in hand and hand. On the contrary, Qin Shaoyou actually buried his head in the turtle building a city.

She thought for a while and said, "Everyone has his own means. He likes to build a city, so let him build a city. As for the matters discussed just now, those rebellious Wei children, you must take good care of them and see what crimes will be drawn up by the Censorate. Since I said it is serious, of course, it should be serious, but... I will leave aside and save my life."

Before Wu Zetian could respond, a eunuch hurried in. The eunuch seemed very anxious. As soon as he came in, he bowed down panting and said, "Sage, Wei Xuanzhen is asking for a meeting."

Wei Xuanzhen…

Wu Zetian didn't have much affection for this person. She and the Wei family were just using each other, so there was no turmoil on her face, and she just said lightly: "Call in."
