Chapter 174: Single-mindedness


Wu Zetian couldn't help but be a little speechless when he heard what Zhang said.

The Duke of Zhou did regent on behalf of the King of Zhou, but that was because the King of Zhou was young; Yi Yin did exile his monarch, but that was because the king had no way.

Later, King Cheng changed his mind, and Yi Yin returned the government to him.

Of course, even if the king is unreasonable, it would be a great rebellion for the courtiers to do this, but that was thousands of years ago, for thousands of years, Yi Yin and Zhou Gong have long been regarded as models of ministers by later generations, and have become famous virtuous ministers in history, so how can Zhang Shuo be judged guilty.

Zhang said that he had already torn his face with Erzhang, so he simply said it all in one go, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yizhi once said to the ministers that as long as the ministers commit perjury for them, they will guarantee me as a waiter, and then recommend me as the prime minister."

The minister also understands that if he agrees with Duke Wei today, once his crime is established, Zhang Shuo will also be punished.

But the minister really didn't dare to falsely testify" "You are talking nonsense, sage, the minister is wronged, the minister is wronged, Zhang said that in order to exonerate Wei Yuanzhong, he deliberately framed Weichen, and asked the saint to uphold justice for the minister" Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong panicked, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Wu Zetian, the matter had come to this, they could only deny it completely, and did not admit that they had contact with Zhang Shuo in private.

Yang Zaisi, Su Wei and the others looked at each other, and invariably chose to continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but Yao Chong stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Erzhang framed the prime minister, this matter is not trivial, please ask Your Majesty to investigate this case thoroughly" Wu Zetian saw that Zhang said that not only failed to prove Wei Yuanzhong's guilt, but made Er Zhang a suspect in framing Zhongliang, and he was really angry in his heart.

She had already had two faces in advance, and she knew that Zhang Shuo had promised to testify for them, but now she did the opposite, which made Wu Zetian extremely disgusted.

Wu Zetian took the case and said in a deep voice: "Take Wei Yuanzhong and Gao Jian back to the prison, and let them be tried again later."

Yao Chong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty" Wu Zetian ignored it, brushed his sleeves and said: "Zhang said that it is an important witness in this case, and he will be detained and awaiting trial."

Yao Chong said angrily: "Your Majesty can't prove Wei Xiang's guilt today, so he should be released."

Wu Zetian's face sank like water, and he didn't say a word, just turned around and left.

Yao Chong's face turned pale, and he immediately walked out of the Eternal Life Courtyard, stood on the stepping stone and complained to the ministers about what happened in the palace, which immediately caused an uproar among the civil and military officials.

The next time it was said that the court meeting, the doctor and Tongping Zhangshi Zhu Jing protested in court: "Your Majesty Wei Yuanzhong has always been known for his loyalty, and now Zhang said that Zhang said as evidence, but Zhang said that Wei Yuanzhong was not guilty, in this case, His Majesty should release the loyal ministers, His Majesty still detains Wei Xiang and Gao Sicheng, and even Zhang Sheren, who testified, has been detained, so unfairness will not make the world lose heart."

Some people even spoke fiercely, pointing directly at Wu Zetian himself: "At the beginning of Your Majesty, you can be the master of advice; In the twilight of the year, he was imprisoned by the lord of Ye Ziyuanzhong, and the alleys were turbulent, thinking that His Majesty had entrusted him to annihilate the palace and expelled the virtuous.

The loyal ministers and martyrs are all sad in their private rooms and keep their mouths shut in the public court, and they are afraid of the power of Yi's brothers, and they will die in vain and useless.

Fang Jin's enslavement is heavy, the people are withering, and the villain is tyrannical, the punishment and reward are reversed, and the people are afraid of restlessness.

Wu Zetian was furious, called the general of the station, and shouted angrily: "Drag them out, drag them all out" The court meeting broke up unhappily, Princess Taiping was overjoyed when she heard the news, invited Yang Fan to come over, and said to him with great interest: "Erlang, you have misjudged this time, hehe, Erzhang wants to use Zhang's words as evidence, but now they are in chaos."

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are raging, and they can be used by me.

I plan to enter the palace to admonish the mother emperor in person and rescue Wei Xiang and Gao Sicheng from prison. ” Yang Fan has Wan'er as his eyes and ears in front of the palace, and no one knows Wu Zetian's mentality at the moment better than him, Wu Zetian rushed back to the harem angrily after the prelude to the court, and the first thing he said was: "Zhang said, it's really a villain, it's contemptible and hateful, and it makes me hateful."

What is the repeated villain Zhang Shuo did not testify in court before that he had said bad things about Wei Yuanzhong and Gao Jian, where did the repeated Wu Zetian's unintentional sentence not only show that she knew in advance that the two Zhang had bought Zhang Shuo to falsify her testimony, but also was angry that Zhang Shuo was telling the truth now.

Seeing that Taiping was naïve, Yang Fan couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Ling Yue, don't get carried away, now is not the time for you to go into battle shirtless." ” Princess Taiping complained: "You, if you didn't listen to you before, people would have come forward early, maybe they would have saved people a long time ago."

Now you still have to block others, the current situation between the DPRK and China, don't you still understand that my two brothers have always been cowardly in front of the mother emperor, if I don't come forward, won't it make the loyal ministers chill?"

Yang Fan said: "Of course I can understand the situation in the DPRK and China, but if I understand it, how to decide this matter is ultimately the emperor, and what the emperor's mind is, don't you understand."

Zhang said that he testified in public, and the truth had been revealed, why did the Son of Heaven not pardon Wei Xiang and Gao Sicheng for their crimes, but instead put Zhang Shuo in prison If you rashly come forward, anger the Son of Heaven, and be deprived of your right to open a government and build a mansion by the Son of Heaven, wouldn't it be worth the loss of the past, and you will be a villain, and you will not see the vassals of the Yue Kingdom leaving him with a cold heart, what are you worried about or too keen on power, and you don't want to give up this opportunity to win people's hearts?"

Princess Taiping suddenly changed color, Yang Fan sighed, gently hugged her body, stroked her hair, and said softly: "The commander of the three armies, how can you easily wade into danger and charge into battle."

Well, you wait another three days.

If the emperor still does not make a decision within three days, you will come forward to ask for Wei Xiang, Gao Sicheng and Zhang Sheren.

If the emperor makes a decision against Wei Xiang within three days, I promise you to conspire with you. ” Princess Taiping pondered for a long time and nodded slightly.

Wu Zetian was furious in the court, and blasted several officials out of the hall who were scolded in person, but the ministers did not stop there, she returned to the harem with her front foot, and the courtiers' recitals followed one after another, and the words of criticism were more and more intense, Wu Zetian's disregard for the law of the country completely angered these officials.

Many officials of the prince's faction and the Xiangwang faction had no personal relations with Wei Yuanzhong, Zhang Shuo, and Gao Jian, nor did they receive the instructions of the prince or the prince, so they stayed out of the matter, and at this time they also angrily joined the team of admonishment.

This is not only because of the obsession with justice that they have always insisted on, but also because of a kind of sadness like a rabbit dying of a fox.

The elderly Wu Zetian's surname was extremely stubborn, and Wu Zetian turned a deaf ear in the face of the snowflakes of the ministers, and just issued an edict ordering Wu Yizong, the king of Hanoi, to try the case with the prime ministers.

Wu Yizong is a cool official after Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen, Suo Yuanli, and Qiu Shenji, and Wu Zetian hopes that he can make a breakthrough and get a favorable testimony.

However, Zhang Changzong's slanderous words last time killed one of the prince's sons and daughters, and also killed Wu Chenghe's eldest son, which made Wu Chenghe, who was seriously ill, vomit blood and die.

This incident made the rest of the Wu and Li families feel the same way, and they all had the same hatred for Erzhang, although Wu Yizong understood his aunt's intentions, but he was unwilling to help Erzhang's abuse.

Seeing that the situation was about to become uncontrollable, Wu Zetian blatantly bypassed the Three Law Divisions, ignored the lack of evidence such as physical evidence, and directly issued an order to interfere with the judiciary.

Wu Zetian was charged with "speaking without a word and deceiving the king", and demoted Wei Yuanzhong to Gaoyao County, present-day Guangdong, while Gao Jian and Zhang Shuo were exiled to Lingnan as Wei Yuanzhong's accomplices.

Shangguan Wan'er has served by Wu Zetian's side since she was fourteen years old, and the most glorious twenty years of Wu Zetian's life are her last ten years as the empress dowager and the first ten years as the emperor.

Now that Wu Zetian has issued such a will, even Shangguan Wan'er, who knows her very well, is shocked.

After taking an opportunity to inform Yang Fan of this will that had not yet been officially announced, Wan'er sighed lightly and said to Yang Fan with emotion: "Your Majesty has changed" Yang Fan looked at her and said faintly: "In the past, no matter what Your Majesty wanted to do, even if she knew that she had wronged you, or even wanted to wronged you, she would always be impeccable in the law, but this time, Your Majesty made a decision that was completely contrary to the law."

This is the first time in His Majesty's life that he has openly breached the law."

Yang Fan was silent for a while, and then muttered: "When a person is too old, not only his body will age and his energy will be poor, but his wisdom and thoughts will also be affected, and what's worse is that many old people will also have a big change in their surnames, become irritable and stubborn, if this person is just the head of the family, or just a son who will be scolded a few more words, if this person is the head of a country" Yang Fan slowly opened a smile and said softly: "But this is not a good thing for us.

This time, His Majesty could not convict Wei Yuanzhong through the Three Law Divisions, she could only bypass the Three Law Divisions and use the imperial power to suppress it strongly, which shows that her control over the court has become smaller and smaller. ” Yang Fan raised his eyes to look at the dusky sky, and said leisurely: "When the sun rises, there is always a time to set.

This round of the sun, it's about to set" As soon as Yang Fan came out of the Xuanwu Gate, Ren Wei snorted at him.

When Yang Fan looked up, he saw a green oil truck quietly parked under the pale yellow palace wall across the wide street, bathed in the setting sun.

Yang Fan saw the four female sumo wrestlers with big shoulders and round waists standing on the left and right of the light car, and knew whose car it was, so he walked over slowly.

Yang Fan slowly walked to the front of the car, the door opened silently, Yang Fan naturally stepped into the car, the door closed behind him, and the car began to drive out.

Princess Taiping's guards crowded the car, and Ren Wei and other Yang Mansion guards were far behind.

Princess Taiping looked at Yang Fan, and said with a bleak face: "Erlang, you're right. ” Yang Fan sighed silently, Princess Taiping was silent for a while, slowly raised her head, looked at him with hopeful eyes, and said in a low voice: "You said, you will help me." ” Yang Fan nodded, and said softly: "I will help you" Getting Yang Fan's promise, Taiping's eyes suddenly overflowed with crystal tears, and she suddenly threw herself into Yang Fan's arms and hugged him tightly.

Yang Fan caressed the back of her silky neck, Princess Taiping leaned on his broad and strong shoulders, feeling his caresses, tears rolling gently down the corners of her eyes.

Since her mother acquiesced in her involvement in politics, her authority has been heavier than before, and the pressure has naturally been heavier than before.

On the one hand, she can't steal the limelight from the prince's brother, and on the other hand, she has to work hard to take on the responsibility that should be borne by the prince.

There was no one to help her, and her two brothers had disappointed her again and again by their cowardly actions, but she had to do her best to assist her royal brother, which made her feel powerless.

This political crisis, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is a counterattack by Erzhang against Li Tang's forces, the real target is the prince, but the prince is short-sighted and refuses to make the slightest effort for those subordinates who are loyal to him, and the king of Xiang is holding a wise attitude to protect himself, Princess Taiping is tired and sad.

Mr.

Mo Da sat on his horse, and walked slowly with Taiping's car, he knew that the performance of the crown prince Li Xian and the prime minister Li Dan in this political crisis had disappointed Princess Taiping again, but wasn't this exactly what he wanted Mr.

Mo Da indifferently looked up at the eaves of the palace bathed in the setting sun, and the sunset on the horizon was reflecting his eyes, with light flashing in his eyes, but there was no trace of warmth. : Sincerely ask for monthly passes, recommended tickets, thank you:
