    This move caused an uproar among the officials, and even Pei Xingjian, who had always been calm, changed his expression.  Everyone knows that petitions from all people are an expression of public opinion. It is very gratifying to be in power and receive such honor and praise from all people.  But the request made by today's extremely petition was too terrible. It actually asked Wu Zetian to become emperor. Many ministers couldn't react at once, but many ministers knew what was going on.  Many ministers were stimulated and stepped forward to reprimand the leaders for their misbehavior, saying that their actions were treasonous and would be punished by God.  Wu Zetian also looked shocked.  After expressing his humility, he said that he had not done anything big, and that the achievements of the Tang Dynasty in recent years were all due to the late emperor and the strong support of the ministers.  After being modest, she severely rebuked those who led the petition, saying that she would not accept this matter under any circumstances. There is still an emperor in the Tang Dynasty. Although he is still young, he will one day grow up.  However, the squire and common people who requested the order did not give up. They still knelt on the ground and petitioned Wu Zetian, asking Wu Zetian to think about the people of the world, come out to preside over the affairs of the court, and become the emperor himself. Today's emperor is too young and is completely incompetent for the affairs of the court. If Wu Zetian  It would be too unfair for her to support her from behind the scenes.  He also said that during this period, celestial phenomena appeared from time to time, indicating that the heroine was coming and asked Wu Zetian to comply with God's will.  The repeated requests of those squires completely angered some people, including the prime ministers of the Political Hall such as Cen Changqian and Pei Yan, as well as the clan members, and the imperial army generals like Li Xiaoyi who were born in the clan. They separately petitioned Wu Zetian to take down these monstrous words by force.  but was stopped by Wu Zetian.  Wu Zetian said that the people's wishes should not be treated harshly, and she just ordered the sergeants to expel the petitioners.  Look at the funny looks of those petitioning squires.  Chen Yi wanted to laugh a little. The performances of these people were too unprofessional. How could they ask a female like Wu Zetian to replace the existing emperor of the Tang Dynasty and become the emperor herself as soon as she appeared.  The Tang Dynasty belongs to the Li family. A daughter-in-law of the Li family like Wu Zetian cannot become emperor no matter how talented she is.  It would be more reasonable if, before building momentum, many magical celestial phenomena were created to show that a heroine like Wu Zetian would lead the Tang Dynasty, and then tens of thousands of people petitioned.  It seems that the person who directed this farce did not make reasonable arrangements.  If he were to direct it, it would never be like this! Chen Yi also believed that from the beginning to the end of this farce, people from the Military Intelligence Agency would be involved in the investigation. It is possible that the Military Intelligence Agency would have already grasped the matter before it even started.  It's just that for some reasons, it was not stopped.  The crowd was dispersed.  Wu Zetian, who was in high spirits, also returned to the palace.  The ministers were then ordered to return to their respective homes. Chen Yi also found an opportunity to sneak out of the palace when Wu Zetian was not looking for him.  Sure enough, when he just left the palace, someone came to see him.  Of course, it is to report the whole story of this incident.  ¡° Over the past few years, the people in the Military Intelligence Agency have learned a lot about the situation. They must have found out everything about things that are not well-organized.  Du Xiaosheng personally reported to Chen Yi the ins and outs of the investigation results of the incident! This incident was of course ordered by He Lan Minzhi.  However, Helan Minzhi did not come forward from beginning to end, but was organized by one of his men named Fu Yiyou.  Fu Yiyou is a quack magician with a very powerful mouth and dozens of disciples. Through his own lobbying and the instigation of his disciples, he instigated nearly 10,000 people outside Chang'an and Luoyang, as well as some citizens in the city, to join forces.  He petitioned Wu Zetian to replace Li Chongrun as emperor.  One of those squires was Fu Yiyou, and most of the others were his disciples.  Having figured things out, Chen Yi felt very relaxed. Wu Zetian had instructed He Lan Minzhi to act, which meant that she was moving towards her goal on the way to becoming emperor.  In other words, the time for him, Wu Zetian and He Lan Minzhi to make a final decision will soon come.  Of course, he could not let Wu Zetian go too smoothly on the road to becoming emperor, nor could he let these so-called public opinion performances go on very smoothly. He also immediately told Du Xiaosheng his plans and asked Du Xiaosheng to do as he asked.  Chen Yi also knew immediately. After the petition, Wu Zetian summoned Helan Minzhi into the palace and discussed the matter for a long time. What they discussed specifically was not overheard by the inquirers, because Wu Zetian and Helan Minzhi hid in a very hidden place.  There is no way to inquire about the place.  But Chen Yi guessed that Wu Zetian must have summoned He Lan Minzhi to discuss what happened today and give instructions.  In the future, there will definitely be many more things like this happening, but the director He Lan Minzhi¡¯s incident is destined not to be too successful, and it may even add more jokes.  ¡ª¡ª On the third day after the petition incident, Luoyang police officers captured two groups of people fighting on the street. During the interrogation, some sharp-eyed peopleIt turned out that one of the parties to the fight was one of the people who petitioned with great enthusiasm that day.  I don¡¯t know how the Luoyang Order conducted the interrogation. The final result turned out to be that the person who was recognized admitted that the Wanmin petition that day was organized and premeditated. After confessing, this person also pointed out Fu Yiyou as the instigator behind the scenes.  Yes, it's just that this person doesn't know who Fu Yiyou is.  When the interrogation of an "ordinary" fight turned out to involve such a big incident, Luoyang Ling did not dare to make the decision privately and reported it quickly. The officials of the Ministry of Punishment who received the report did not dare to deal with it privately and reported it to Di Renjie, the Minister of Punishment.  Of course Di Renjie knew how serious the matter was, so he reported it directly to Wu Zetian without holding back.  Wu Zetian was horrified after hearing this, and quickly summoned He Lanminzhi to the palace to discuss the matter, and ordered Helan Minzhi to handle the matter.  Of course, He Lan Minzhi knew the seriousness of this matter and interrogated it personally. The final conclusion he came to was that this person was talking nonsense and trying to confuse right and wrong in order to discredit the petition of the people.  The result of the treatment was that the man was beaten to death, and the man named Fu Yiyou disappeared inexplicably.  However, the matter spread before He Lan Minzhi had finished dealing with it, and the whole city was in trouble for a while! Of course, this incident made Wu Zetian angry, and she severely reprimanded He Lan Minzhi, blaming him for his incompetence in doing things.  Helan Minzhi was in trouble and couldn't explain why this well-organized incident was leaked because of an ordinary street fight.  But he didn't dare to make any excuses. After all, what happened happened like this, so he could only try his best to make up for it and ensure that he would be as considerate as possible in the future without making any mistakes.  In March, Tang Tongtai, a native of Yongzhou, dug a stone tablet in the Luoshui River near Luoyang, with the words "The Holy Mother is here, Yongchang Emperor's Industry" written on it. He immediately had it transported to Chang'an and dedicated it to the emperor who had just returned to Chang'an.  of Wu Zetian.  After receiving the gift from Tang Tongtai, Wu Zetian was very "pleasantly surprised" and ordered people to offer the stone to the Xianju Palace, calling it a treasure map. She also rewarded him with a banquet in the Baiguan Palace and awarded Tang Tongtai the title of guerrilla general.  And a few days later, a ceremony was held to worship the treasure map.  This ceremony was very grand, with all the civil and military officials of the ninth rank and above in the court participating.  Wu Zetian led hundreds of officials to worship the God of Haotian first, and then the God of Luoshui. She also gave herself the title of "Holy Mother God Emperor", changed the treasure map to "Treasure Map given by Heaven", and changed the year name to "Yongchang".  .  But a funny thing happened. Just five days after Tang Tongtai presented the treasure map, someone dug up an identical stone tablet in the Weihe River and dedicated it to Wu Zetian again.  This time Wu Zetian seemed very embarrassed and did not dare to show it in the palace anymore, so she just asked people to deal with it quietly.  However, things were not over yet. In the next half month, identical "treasure maps" were dug near the Weihe River, Luoshui River, Bahe River, and Fenghe River. The people who dug up were naturally "ecstatic" and transported them all to Chang'an.  Come, prepare to dedicate it to Wu Zetian.  This incident immediately caused a stir in the city. There were so many "treasure maps" that it was unbelievable.  Wu Zetian's face could no longer be maintained, and the matter was investigated seriously! Just kidding, when nearly twenty identical "treasure maps" were presented, no one would think that this was God's will, but that someone was playing a prank. Wu Zetian  Of course he was furious and sent Di Renjie, the Minister of Punishment who was famous for his detective work, to investigate the matter personally.  Di Renjie naturally lived up to expectations and spent five days investigating the matter.  It turned out that these stone tablets were carved privately by someone, all by the same person. This person was also one of the squire who petitioned that day. He buried these stone tablets in so many rivers just to express God's will so that Wu Zetian could comply.  God wills the succession to the throne.  As soon as the facts of the case were announced, the whole of Chang'an was in an uproar, and Wu Zetian became even more angry. She never imagined that things would turn out like this.  She also immediately issued an edict to admit to the people of the world that she had made a mistake in sealing the treasure map, and ordered that Tang Tongtai, who was trying to gain fame by borrowing a forged stone tablet to please the public, be killed with a stick at the entrance of the West City, and that the man named Wang Fangtong who carved the stone should be killed.  The craftsman was cut in half and the "treasure map" was destroyed in public.  He Lan Minzhi was naturally scolded by Wu Zetian and became disgraced.  But he was also puzzled as to why such an uncontrollable situation occurred.  After thinking about it, he also expressed his doubts to Wu Zetian.  "Aunt, Minzhi feels that these things are too strange, as if someone is specifically targeting what Minzhi did!" "What should I say?" Wu Zetian also thought that something was wrong.  "Auntie, Minzhi also found out about the fight last time. It was the group of people who deliberately caused trouble, and they identified one of them in public as the squire who was in charge of the petition that day. Logically speaking, it can't be such a coincidence. That person  He Lan Minzhi thought for a while and then said: "Minzhi is afraid of being known by others."He deliberately put it in Luoshui. Only a few people knew about it, and it was not the captured craftsman at all. This man Minzhi had never contacted! According to Minzhi's thinking, this matter was not a coincidence, but someone.  Deliberately destroying my aunt's good deeds!" "It's really possible!" Wu Zetian frowned and asked thoughtfully: "If this is really the case, then who do you think is doing this to us on purpose?  " "Only one person!" "Who?  ¡± ¡°My good brother-in-law, Chen Yi!¡± (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
