In the imperial history, Song Jing strode out and protested proudly: "Your Majesty, even if Zhang Changzong once told His Majesty about this, he did not first tell the warlock Li Hongtai to speak falsely, so that Li Hongtai could calmly flee from Chang'an three days after the incident, this move is obviously Zhang Changzong's luck and reserved an excuse."
According to the law, he is still guilty. ” "Your Majesty" Dali Chengfeng Quanzhen also jumped out and shouted loudly, "From this point of view, Zhang Changzong's so-called surrender was actually forced by the situation, not his original intention, and the crime of rebellion is a big crime, and the disaster lies in the community, and it is not appropriate to apply the rule of surrender."
Zhang Changzong is so rebellious, why use the law of the country if he doesn't punish him" "Your Majesty" Shi Zhouyu stepped forward and said loudly: "Zhang Changzong is not prosecuted, and he will connive at the world's small troubles."
Supervising Yu Shi Ma Huaisu immediately followed, and said in a loud voice: "Zhang Changzong is treacherous and conspiracy to rebel, and he should be punished with a big punishment." ” These people jumped out one by one, and even Wu Zetian suddenly changed color.
The high emperor is not without fear, she is high in the nine-fold palace, she depends on these ministers to exert influence in this world, if all the ministers oppose her, she will naturally feel fear, she can't cut off all her siblings at once.
Even if the emperor is not so strong and fast, it is impossible to find a suitable person to choose and replace him immediately.
But she still wants to protect Zhang Changzong, not only because of her love for Zhang Changzong, but because of her majesty and her unshakable authority.
But what made her feel sad was that although under her intentional connivance, Erzhang seemed to have great power and had many subordinates, including many prime ministers, at this time, no one jumped out to speak for them, these two little lovers who only knew how to be in the wind and snow were inferior to Xue Huaiyi's rough man, and when Xue Huaiyi died, there were at least two loyal disciples by his side and went to Huangquan with him.
Wu Zetian is not good at refusing such a minister's advice strongly, she also wants to work hard to maintain her image of a fair Ming Jun, so she set her eyes on Prime Minister Yang Zaisi, Yang Zaisi understood, so she had to come out hard, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty already knows, you should step back first, if Your Majesty has further instructions, this minister will convey it to you" Song Jing said coldly: "The Holy Son of Heaven and I are close at hand, I want to personally listen to the orders of the Son of Heaven, and I won't ask you Yang Neishi to announce the edict on your behalf."
Yang Zaisi's face stiffened, he didn't expect that Song Jing wouldn't even give him face as an old prime minister, the court was already silent, and all the civil and military officials held their breath and quietly observed the reaction of the Son of Heaven.
Wu Zetian sat on the high throne, trying to see the expressions and faces of the ministers clearly, but the blurred gloom flashed in front of her eyes, and she couldn't see anything clearly.
Wu Zetian felt that her chest was heavy, and she felt like she couldn't breathe, she didn't know if she would faint on the spot if she continued, she only knew that she had to hold on no matter what, if she fainted on the throne today, it would be an irreparable blow to her authority, and the supreme prestige she had built up over the years would collapse overnight.
"Since the secretaries insist that Changzong is guilty" Wu Zetian pursed her mouth and breathed a few times tightly with movements that everyone didn't pay much attention to, she was already a little suffocated: "Then, Wei Chengqing, you will hand over Zhang Changzong to the Yushitai and be reviewed by Song Zhongcheng."
After Wu Zetian said this, he immediately stood up, and the inner servant hurriedly lifted the dust, and said highly: "Retreat from the dynasty" and hurriedly rushed up and hugged Wu Zetian.
The ministers did not shout "Congratulations to Your Majesty" as before, all the people stood there, quietly looking at the old woman, with difficult steps, being carried by the chamberlain, slowly moving towards the harem, their eyes became extremely complicated, and they suddenly found that the supreme god-like figure in their minds also had times to back down and bow their heads.
A thought invariably flashed into the minds of many people: "The era of the empress is coming to an end" However, Wu Zetian is Wu Zetian after all, she entered the palace at the age of thirteen, from a small talent, fighting with Concubine Xiao Shu, fighting with Queen Wang, fighting with the eldest grandson Wuji, fighting with Shangguan Yi, fighting with her husband, children and grandchildren, and countless civil servants and generals loyal to Li Tang, she has been fighting until today, from a talented person, from a female stream, all the way to the supremacy of the empire, she will not easily admit defeat.
The reason why she bowed her head in the court today was because of the sudden upheaval, her extremely aging body could no longer withstand such a powerful mental impact, if she continued to stalemate at that time, she would definitely faint on the spot, and the emperor fainted on the spot under the pressure of the ministers, which would force the power she could still control to immediately find another way, and she really became a loner.
Wu Zetian was carried back to the harem and immediately summoned the imperial medicine for diagnosis and treatment, while Song Jing in the imperial history immediately entangled Wei Chengqing after retiring from the dynasty, and he wanted to escort Zhang Changzong to the imperial history platform immediately.
Wei Chengqing naturally didn't want to hand over Zhang Changzong easily, he delayed until the evening, and he didn't wait for Wu Zetian's further will, seeing that he was about to disperse, he really had no reason to continue to delay, so he reluctantly handed over Zhang Changzong to Song Jing.
It was getting late, and Song Jing couldn't pick up the lights for the night trial, and the relevant witnesses were all princes and ministers, and it was impossible for him to invite these people to the Yushitai late at night, so he put Zhang Changzong in prison to wait for the retrial.
Early the next morning, Song Jing escorted Zhang Changzong to the lobby and tried it in person.
Zhang Changzong was extremely desperate and frightened, he thought that Wu Zetian had abandoned him, and when he was escorted to the lobby, his face was pale, his legs trembled, and he completely lost his original arrogance.
Song Jing sat down solemnly and ordered the trial to begin, but he had just verified Zhang Changzong's identity in accordance with legal procedures, and before he could order the summoning of witnesses from all walks of life, Wu Zetian's counterattack began.
This time the behavior of hundreds of officials forcing the palace was a heavy blow to Wu Zetian, her aging body could not bear such a heavy blow, she fell ill, but after a night of treatment, she used a 500-year-old ginseng to nourish her vitality, and the next morning, her mental and physical strength recovered a lot.
So, she gave the first order weakly and calmly, and with this order of hers, a lieutenant and eight chamberlains suddenly appeared on the Imperial Observatory, and behind them, sixteen samurai of the inner guard stood.
The lieutenant slowly unfolded the decree and announced loudly in a reserved and arrogant tone: "His Majesty the Emperor has decided to forgive all the crimes committed by Zhang Changzong, Song Zhongcheng, please hand over Ye Guogong immediately."
After that, without waiting for Song Jing to react, he waved his hand, and two tall and powerful chamberlains rushed up to set up Zhang Changzong and turned around and left, Song Jing stood up from behind the case, dumbfounded.
Amnesty, which existed in the Xia Dynasty era from historical sources, was the prerogative of the king.
The power of amnesty has been retained even in modern times, and although it has hardly ever been used by a monarch for thousands of years, it has always been retained in the law.
It is completely in accordance with the law Didn't Song Jing and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military keep saying that they are based on the law, okay, you want to fight the law, I, Wu Mei, will fight with you, as the emperor, I have the right to pardon, I can't prevent you from convicting Zhang Changzong of guilt, but I have the right to pardon all his sins, even if it is a mortal sin There is no need for Song Jing to go on trial, because even if he arranges all the heinous crimes for Zhang Changzong, Wu Zetian can use the emperor's ultimate weapon of murder to pardon all his crimes.
Wu Zetian's counterattack began from this, and it was still full of Wu's unique fighting style, domineering and fierce And this is only the first punch of Wu Zetian's counterattack "I should be tortured immediately, I should put him in the lobby and die with a cane immediately, so at most, it is just an improper punishment, as long as I can get rid of this, Song is not afraid of the future" It wasn't until the lieutenant took Zhang Changzong away that Song Jing reacted, and screamed loudly while pounding the bookcase.
Although Zhang Changzong only stayed in prison for one night, he was unkempt and embarrassed, and after returning to Fengchen Prison, he and Zhang Yizhi cried a few words, and was urged by Zhang Yizhi to bathe and change clothes, and then led him to thank the Son of Heaven.
When they arrived at the Eternal Life Temple, the two did not dare to enter the hall as before, but ordered the chamberlain to pass the news.
In the bedroom, Wu Zetian was awake for a while in the morning, and then he began to have headaches, nausea, and chest congestion.
Wu Zetian, who was in a coma, the corners of his mouth still spasmed from time to time, and Wan'er and Fu Qingqing, the two most important female officials in the inner court, stood left and right, looking at Wu Zetian's condition, secretly worried.
Although Wan'er didn't agree with Wu Zetian's various behaviors, but after all, the two had been together for such a long time, even if Wu Zetian was the murderer of her grandfather and father, but at that time Wan'er was still a baby in infancy, and she had no feelings for her father and ancestor.
An attendant tiptoed in and whispered a few words to Wan'er, who nodded, turned around and walked out of Wu Zetian's bedroom.
As soon as Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong saw Wan'er, they immediately hurried to meet her, and Wan'er said: "The saint is unwell, she just fell asleep, and she can't wake her up now."
Gorou Rokuro, you don't have to worry, the saint has absolute trust and protection in you. ” Wan'er paused, and then said to Zhang Changzong: "Your Majesty said before going to bed that if Liulang comes back, please go to Song Zhongcheng's Mansion to thank him for raising his noble hand." ” Zhang Changzong said angrily: "Obviously, it was the saint who saved me, so Song Jing was afraid that I would not die, how could he raise his noble hand."
Zhang Yizhi pulled his sleeve, nodded to Wan'er, and said, "It's Yizhi, I'll go with Liulang." ” After a moment of silence, he sighed sadly: "My brothers have never had ambitions, why do the officials want to treat us as a thorn in their eyes, I hope that this time Song Zhongcheng is willing to accept our sincerity, we have no quarrel with others, we just want to live well" Speaking of which, his voice was already a little choked.
In the evening, Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong came back, and after the two returned to the palace, they immediately rushed to Wu Zetian's bedroom, Wu Zetian had woken up at this time, and when he heard that they were back, he let them in.
Wu Zetian smiled and said, "You guys are back, Song Jing can see you" Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong stood in front of Wu Zetian with their hands down, and Zhang Yizhi said gloomily: "My two brothers stood under the door of Song Zhongcheng and begged for two hours, but he refused to see them.
Seeing that it was getting late, we wouldn't be able to return to the palace if it was too late, so we came back. ” The corners of Wu Zetian's eyes jumped, but she still smiled on her face, beckoning weakly to them, and the two immediately rushed to her side and knelt down, holding her old and cold hand with tears in their eyes.
"As long as I live, I will always save you."
Wu Zetian said gently, sighed softly, and said, "But I don't know how long I can live, and you are still too young."

She gently stroked Zhang Changzong's young and firm cheeks, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will arrange it, everything will be arranged."
There was a confident and unyielding light in her cloudy eyes, she knew that she was old, she knew that she was about to die, but she still believed that as long as she still had a breath, everything in the world would continue to be in her hands :Sincerely ask for monthly passes, recommended tickets:
