Suddenly seeing Wu Zetian push the door open and come in, Wu Sansi stood up suddenly, and the other three people also stood up to greet him.
Among the four, Wu Sansi is much older than Wu Yanji, and his seniority is higher than him, but in terms of the depth of bending when saluting, Wu Yanji is far inferior to his uncle Wang.
After Wu Zetian waved his hand casually, without saying anything to the four of them, he directly reached out to summon Wu Yanji and said to Di Renjie: "Yanji is not only the eldest son of Chengsi, but also the son-in-law of King Luling. He is respectful, kind and kind, and he will have the image of an emperor in the future. Di Qing, you might as well give him a lesson or two in your spare time from government affairs."
Wu Zetian¡¯s words were ordinary, but the content of these words was like a thunderbolt exploding in the small teahouse. Wu Sansi's body, which he had just straightened up after saluting, suddenly became stiff and motionless with these words.
King Wu Youyi of Jian'an turned his eyes in the direction of Wu Sansi, but his body did not move.
Di Renjie glanced at Wu Yanji without commenting.
"I personally pointed out the teacher to you, Yanji. Why don't you pay homage to Mr. Di as your teacher?"
Hearing this, Wu Yanji knelt down in front of Di Renjie obediently and bowed to him respectfully.
At this point, Di Renjie really couldn't say anything anymore.
Wu Zetian's move clearly determined a new heir and handed it over to him, the leader of the Li Party. However, in addition to being the son of Wu Chengsi, this heir also had the identity of the son-in-law of the King of Luling. But what else can Di Renjie say? How to say?
This seemingly simple thing actually contains Wu Zetian's painstaking efforts. At this moment, the new heir finally came to light.
After Wu Yanji finished paying respects to Di Renjie, Wu Zetian raised his finger and pointed at Wu Youyi, "Let me also give you a big salute to your Uncle Jian'an. You are uncles and nephews, and if he accepts your big gift again, if he takes care of you in the future." If it¡¯s less, even I won¡¯t allow him.¡±
Wu Yanji seemed to understand Wu Zetian's arrangements, but he was really obedient and obedient. After hearing this, he respectfully bowed to King Jian'an. Wu Youyi was a little afraid to show off. Although he had to accept this gift out of holy intention, his body was slightly turned sideways.
This time after getting up. Wu Yanji didn't wait for Wu Zetian to say anything else, and bowed down to Wu Sansi.
When it was time for Wu Yanji to salute Di Renjie and Wu Youyi, no matter how violent the lightning and thunder in Wu Sansi's heart, he finally managed to restrain himself on his face.
Wu Yanji bowed down and fell down. He immediately stepped forward and held Wu Yanji's arms. He even put on a smile on his face and said in his usual warm voice: "Your father and I are from the same ancestor. Although we are not brothers, we are more affectionate." Shengzhi, I treat you like my own child"
That¡¯s it. Wu Sansi felt a faint heat on his back, and he suddenly paused as he thought of something. Then he laughed and stood up straight, and no longer stopped Wu Yanji from saluting, "Uncle X will rarely be ordered around by his nephew in the future. That's all. I will bear this gift from you."
After changing his attitude and receiving the gift, Wu Sansi felt that the fiery gaze that had just been directed at him disappeared. In an instant. A layer of white-haired cold sweat suddenly broke out on the body wrapped in clothes.
Although it was a strange place, an old memory still appeared in Wu Sansi's mind at this moment. After the scandal of cheating in the scientific examination occurred because Tang Song kicked the imperial examination, he was implicated because he recommended Song Zhiwen to help with the examination. At that time, he was supervising the construction of Sanyang Palace in Songshan Mountain. Envoys from the inner palace suddenly arrived and did not give him any help. Preparation time. Face to face, he asked Song Zhi on behalf of the emperor whether the love affair was at his instigation.
That time was just like today, with just a few questions. It made him sweat all over his body.
After enjoying endless favor for many years, Wu Sansi once again deeply felt the cold fangs of his imperial aunt. Even though he didn't reveal it, it was enough to make him sweat through his clothes, and then he put away all the masks and hypocritical words that he was accustomed to.
At this point, Shangguan Wan'er knew Wu Zetian best. When the empress showed her true feelings, there were only two words to get along with her - honesty!
Fortunately, Wu Sansi was smart enough and reacted quickly enough. However, despite this, the coldness in his heart became deeper and deeper. He deeply understood that from that moment on, because of Wu Yanji, his relationship with the emperor's aunt had completely changed.
When Wu Sansi wanted to understand this, in addition to unwillingness and grievance, fear suddenly welled up in Wu Sansi's heart. This fear was like spring weeds, growing wildly as soon as it appeared, tightly gripping his heart.
At this moment, the strongest thought that emerged in Wu Sansi's mind was regret - if he had known this moment, why would he kill Wu Chengsi?
Anger, unwillingness, fear, the strongest emotions and emotional interactionsMixed together, Wu Sansi, who was trying hard to maintain his expression, felt that his head was about to burst. In the end, the luck that anyone in a desperate situation would have came in like a wisp of spring breeze, shining on his heart that had fallen into a black hole. Entered the last ray of light.
Maybe
Maybeprobably not
It was this last life-saving straw transformed by luck that supported Wu Sansi to persist until the end, until Wu Zetian ordered Di Renjie and the other three to retreat, leaving him alone.
After that, they spent most of the night chatting over a cup of tea, the core meaning of which was comfort.
Wu Zetian's kind attitude and sincere words were all unprecedented experiences for Wu Sansi. The spring breeze turned into rain, and she was amiable.
"If it were another person, he would have been deeply moved by Wu Zetian's rare kindness. Not to mention any alienation, he would have been worried about the person in front of him.
But Wu Sansi was none other than Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian's unprecedented performance made him feel not approachable, but rather strangled the trace of luck that had just arisen in his heart.
Although Wu Sansi's body, sitting on the brocade stool, was trembling uncontrollably due to fear, there was no abnormality.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing this, Wu Sansi forced a smile and said, "It's a bit cold in the cold night."
When he said this, Wu Zetian looked outside the door and seemed to feel a chill. She said nothing more and let him go after a few words of comfort.
Wu Sansi stood up to leave, and when he reached the door, he turned around and said, "Auntie, my nephew wants to practice in the political hall"
She asked for an official position, first and foremost to be a prime minister, but Wu Zetian was not angry at Wu Sansi's request. Instead, she laughed from the bottom of her heart. Before she could finish speaking, she waved her hand and said, "Go ahead. I do as you say." That¡¯s what you wish for¡±
Wu Sansi turned around and walked out. Once out of Wu Zetian's sight, his body could no longer withstand the pressure caused by the boundless fear in his heart. After staggering for a few steps, he reached the roadside and held on to a tree when he felt a twitching in his chest and abdomen. As soon as Fang bent over, he started to vomit.
The vomiting was retching, and nothing came out after I vomited for a while. When he stood up again, his face was gray and his eyes were scattered with fear and hesitation.
In the tea room, as soon as Wu Sansi left, he saw Shangguan Wan'er walking in from the door just now. "The evidence that King Liang poisoned the heir is conclusive. Now that the woman he bribed is in Tang Song's hands, Your Majesty just let him go like this?"
"This matter cannot be exposed, and now is not the time to deal with this evil beast. It is not easy for me to establish a country in Wuzhou. We must not ignore the face of the clan, otherwise we will be laughed at by the people of the world. At the moment, I want to stabilize the position of the heir of Yanji. First, after doing this well, I will naturally make this bad beast like his incompetent me."
Tang Song had previously gone to Shangguan Wan'er's secret house in Nancheng to meet the old eunuch who stayed behind. In the end, the news was successfully passed to Shangguan Wan'er, and it was only then that he had this reply.
Shangguan Wan'er looked at the dark night outside the tea room and whispered: "I'm just afraid that Prince Liang won't be able to feel at ease, and he will have any strange intentions again?"
Hearing this, Wu Zetian smiled proudly, "When he left just now, he was still asking me for the position of prime minister. I have known this bad beast for so many years. Although he is a little careful, he can't make a big deal. Disloyalty? He dare not! "
When it comes to these last three words. As Wu Zetian stood up from the brocade stool, she was really confident and high-spirited. The world is under control.
When Shangguan Wan'er was about to say anything more, Wu Zetian, who had been busy for the past two days, was exhausted due to old age. She waved her hands and said: "That bad beast doesn't have the courage. Just take care of Yanji. I'm tired, you Let someone prepare a bowl of ruby ????(blood from the forehead of a deer taken alive). I just made a vow to recite the Avatamsaka Sutra ten times in front of the Buddha. After you recite it for me, please rest early."
As he said this, Wu Zetian walked out.
At this time, Wu Sansi, who was walking towards the gate of the palace city, was completely overwhelmed. When the last trace of luck in his heart was killed, he already knew that the imperial aunt who had loved him so much was really interested in him this time. Murderous intention.
"If that were not the case, there would be no need for the comfort of leaving him alone in the end.
"Why do you want to kill me?"
"For Wu Chengsi's death?" No, this matter will definitely not be spread to the palace now.
"In order for Wu Yanji to retain his position?" Wu Sansi was treacherous and quick to change his mind. More importantly, he had developed the habit of trying to figure out Wu Zetian's thoughts through years of fighting for favor. In fact, his understanding is much deeper than Wu Zetian thought. Just as Taiping could think of "weak stems and strong branches", he could also think ofarrive. "Yesit must be this reason"
After I thought I figured out the reason, my fear was replaced by strong hatred. I hated heaven and earth, hated Wu Zetian, hated Tang Song, hated Wu Yanji, hated Wu Chengsi, hated Di Renjie, hated Wu Youyi
But after the strong hatred receded, fear came again like a raging tide. At this time, Wu Sansi could no longer care about what to hate, and his mind was constantly thinking about the same problem - what to do?
By tomorrow morning, the palace gate will no longer be sealed. Once the plot to murder Wu Chengsi is revealed, his death date will be tomorrow.
Even if you don¡¯t die tomorrow, how long can it take? Wu Sansi was really not sure whether the words he just said to the official could confuse Wu Zetian. Besides, even if it could be delayed, what was the point?
Thinking of Wu Zetian¡¯s methods against the enemy for so many years, Wu Sansi became even more desperate. What should she do? These three words were rolling around in my mind but there was no solution.
At this moment of hesitation, because his steps were a little messy, the eggplant belt tied around his waist suddenly touched Wu Sansi's hand.
The binder at that time was just a small, close-fitting pouch. In addition to being used for decoration, it could also be used to carry money and other scattered items.
Looking down at the eggplant ribbon, Wu Sansi seemed to have a flash of lightning in his mind. With rapid breathing, he opened the eggplant ribbon and took out a small mulberry paper packet with trembling hands.
The paper package was very small and thin, but the contents inside were enough to make a strong man die from heart palpitations. Wu Chengsi died from this kind of medicine that day.
At this time, Wu Sansi couldn't figure out how he could put such a deadly thing in a close-fitting wrapper. It was puzzling that from the moment he decided to drug Wu Chengsi, he had been guarding against something. , what are you preparing for?
If he doesn¡¯t understand something, he won¡¯t think about it, and he doesn¡¯t have time to think about it anymore. The lightning caused by this mulberry paper bag shattered Wu Sansi's hesitation, and an idea that he had never had before suddenly jumped out. And it took over his entire body and mind in an instant.
When this idea first appeared, even Wu Sansi himself was shocked. After all, that person was too powerful. It was so powerful that he had never even dared to think about it.
On a cold night, Wu Sansi stood quietly under the pale moonlight for a long time before walking forward again.
Although he left with a bit of gritted teeth this time, he no longer felt confused and hesitant just now.
It won¡¯t take long. He met the armored general and Zhang Changzong who were waiting for him here.
Zhang Changzong jumped to his feet anxiously, and when he saw Wu Sansi, he immediately came up to him.
"Wenbo, how long have they been gone since Di Xiang and the others?"
The armored general said: "It's about time for a cup of tea. We should have left the imperial city by now."
"Send people quickly to intercept them and invite them back. Di Renjie, Wu Youyi, and Wu Yanji cannot be missing."
General Jia Zhou heard this. This is quite confusing: "There is no precedent for summoning ministers in the inner palace with the Imperial Guard as the messenger"
Before he could finish speaking, Wu Sansi turned around and looked at Zhang Changzong.
Zhang Changzong thought Wu Sansi was waiting for an order from the emperor, but without waiting for him to say anything, he summoned a trustworthy eunuch nearby to give him orders. The armored general also cooperated and sent four of the Imperial Guards who were on duty nearby to accompany the eunuch.
"Wenbo, please wait a moment, I will have something to say with you later." After saying that, Wu Sansi led Zhang Changzong to a secluded place.
When Wu Sansi explained his intention to Zhang Changzong, poor Lianhua Liulang was so frightened that his face turned pale. If Wu Sansi had not stretched out his hand to support him. He couldn't even stand still.
Poisoning His Majesty? Let alone doing it, Zhang Changzong never thought that anyone would dare to have such an idea.
Wu Sansi stood quietly for a while, giving Zhang Changzong enough time to calm down, and then said solemnly: "You were introduced to the palace by someone. If something happens to someone, do you think His Majesty will keep you? Besides, you Don't forget that your parents and five brothers are all under my control after they brought their families to the capital. If I want them to die tonight, they will not survive until tomorrow morning."
Zhang Changzong, who had just calmed down, was about to struggle after hearing this, but Wu Sansi held his shoulders and arms firmly. His tone also became unusually warm, revealing a strong temptation, "It's hard for you to forget Lianrong and the flesh and blood she gave you. You don't want to see your son? It's hard for you to really want to be with him all the time. That old woman? Are you really willing to be treated like a man? "
Zhang Changzong slowly stopped struggling, but Wu Sansi did not let go of him, and kept saying: "You and I have a life-and-death fate. If you don't do what you do tonight, you will eventually die. I have such a status and I can't fight for it." , it¡¯s hard for you to dare to give it a try. If it doesn¡¯t work out,Only your life can be saved, and you and your family will have wealth and glory at your fingertips. From now on, for all generations of princes, will there be any hatred? "
After a long silence, Zhang Changzong suddenly raised his head, his cold white teeth shining coldly in the pale moonlight between his mouth, "I have done this, and I don't ask for any glory or wealth. I will be a prince for generations. Regardless of success or failure, I just ask the prince to spare the lives of my parents and brothers. As for the lotus seed and the flesh and blood"
Zhang Changzong gritted his teeth for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything else. He took the mulberry paper bag from Wu Sansi and left.
Just as he was taking steps, Wu Sansi reminded him in a low voice, "At least tonight, the palace and city are all under my control. Liulang, don't be too smart. In an hour, I will be waiting for your good news."
Zhang Changzong paused, said nothing after listening, and left without looking back.
After watching Zhang Changzong go away, the last bit of hesitation in Wu Sansi's heart was gone. He was so excited that his words and deeds revealed a decisive killing that was rarely seen in ordinary times.
While ordering the armored general to strictly guard the gates of the palace city, he also ordered the imperial army to be dispatched overnight to invite Zong Chuke and other his confidants into the palace.
At the same time, in Princess Taiping's mansion outside the palace, Tang Song finally learned that Wu Sansi had entered the palace together with Wu Youyi, Di Renjie and Wu Yanji. To be continued. .
