According to an urgent report from the governor of Fangzhou, Li Xian, who was demoted to Fangzhou, contracted severe cold and eventually died of his injuries! When the news came, the civil and military officials of the entire court were shocked. It can be said that almost everyone was thinking about "murder". Li Xian did not die of natural causes, but was removed by someone. This is almost the consensus of Manchaowen. However, who did it is worthy of scrutiny. Wu Zetian was furious after hearing this and immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the matter! Di Renjie, the Minister of Punishment, led people to Fangzhou to investigate the cause of Li Xian's death. Wu Zetian strictly ordered Di Renjie to find out the cause of Li Xian's death within a month. Di Renjie did not dare to delay, so he took the order and left. Chen Yi was also immediately summoned into the palace by Wu Zetian for questioning. "Zi Ying, tell me, did you send someone to do this?" Wu Zetian asked Chen Yi directly without any courtesy! Although she knew that Wu Zetian summoned him to the palace today to discuss Li Xian's death, But he didn't expect Wu Zetian to ask him so straightforwardly. Chen Yi didn't react for a while and asked in confusion: "Empress, what are you referring to?" Chen Yi thought Wu Zetian sent someone to do it. After removing Li Xian, no one among the Li family heirs, except the young Li Chongrun, is qualified to continue the throne. If Li Chongrun has another accident, or if he controls the little man, he will be able to do whatever he wants in the political affairs of the dynasty. Oh! If Li Xian¡¯s death was due to an accident, then Wu Zetian must be the biggest suspect. After poisoning Li Xian, Chen Yi felt that it was inevitable for Wu Zetian to become emperor. But after hearing what Wu Zetian said, Chen Yi immediately dismissed his doubts. Seeing that the anger on Wu Zetian's face was not fake, it was true anger from her heart. If Wu Zetian ordered it, or she knew about it. There shouldn't be such a performance, unless Wu Zetian's acting skills have reached the level of perfection. Her emotions and emotions are invisible and she can put on any expression at any time. Of course, this possibility is unlikely, and even those rigorously trained agents of the Military Intelligence Agency cannot completely accomplish it. That can only mean that Li Xian¡¯s sudden death due to illness really had nothing to do with Wu Zetian. Seeing Chen Yi's innocent and confused look, Wu Zetian stared at him fiercely and asked word for word: "Chen Yi. I want to ask you, is the death of Xian'er a crime?" Did you instigate someone to do it? Does his death have anything to do with you? "" Madam, this matter has nothing to do with me!" Chen Yi shook his head and denied it without any hesitation, "I just heard about it. The sudden death of Bingdi Fangzhou, I originally thought" "What did you think?" Wu Zetian became serious. Chen Yi was frightened for a moment by Wu Zetian's sharp question. He frowned slightly. He whispered: "I originally thought it was the Queen Mother who ordered someone to do it!" "Me? How could this be possible for me?" Wu Zetian also seemed a little surprised and didn't understand why Chen Yi regarded her as the person who ordered it. Chen Yi did not answer, but looked at Wu Zetian with strange eyes. Wu Zetian read the meaning from Chen Yi's eyes, sighed, and closed her eyes in pain. Indeed, it is possible for her. And it's the most likely. The existence of Li Xian is obviously a destabilizing factor. If Li Xian no longer exists, there will be much less threats in one aspect. She also has a lot less worries. Just as she had been the one who instigated Chen Yi to drug Li Hong, Li Xian and Li Zhi, she was the biggest suspect. Although today's Li Xian is far less important than Li Zhi, Li Hong and Li Xian at the time, he is the son of Li Zhi and her, and the legitimate son of the late emperor. If there is turmoil, the adult Li Xian will be the first in the Tang Dynasty throne. The heir, not to mention that Li Xian had been the emperor, certainly had a different weight among the ministers, and his status in the hearts of the people was also very different. If she wanted to seek the throne, it would be a matter of course to remove Li Xian. ¡° If Chen Yi really didn¡¯t do anything dirty, then it¡¯s reasonable for him to suspect her. "My Majesty, I really don't know anything about this matter!" Seeing Wu Zetian's expression changed drastically, Chen Yi quickly explained again, "My Majesty, I didn't lie to you, and I didn't interfere in this matter!" Wu Zetian remained silent. His eyes were a little dull! Seeing Wu Zetian's look, Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief and continued to lower his voice: "Mother, did King Luling really die of illness? Rather than human factors?" Wu Zetian was very determined. Shaking his head, "No, I don't believe that Xian'er died of illness. Someone must have killed him because he didn't want him to live in this world anymore!" Chen Yi was surprised by Wu Zetian's firm determination, but he I also quickly thought of a person, and almost wiped out this person's name.He burst out, but finally held back forcefully. The change in Chen Yi's expression was noticed by Wu Zetian, and she was also moved in her heart, and immediately asked: "Zi Ying, who do you think is responsible for this?" "Mother, I can't guess!" Wu Zetian's expression changed. It also fell into Chen Yi's eyes, but in the end he felt it was better not to say anything. "In that case, you go first!" Wu Zetian's expression became depressed again, and she was no longer interested in continuing to chat. She waved her hand to signal Chen Yi to leave first. Chen Yi hurriedly bowed and left: "Madam, please take a rest, I'll go first! Madam, don't think too much, I'm sure Di Shangshu will be able to investigate the cause of King Luling's death clearly! Di Shangshu is like a god in solving cases. , there is no case that he can't solve, and when he comes to Fangzhou in person, the truth will definitely come out!" Wu Zetian just sighed slightly, didn't say anything, just waved his hand, signaling Chen Yi not to say anything, and to leave first! ¡ª¡ª ¡ª¡ª Not long after Chen Yi left the Xianju Palace, He Lan Minzhi was also urgently summoned into the palace. "Aunt, the sudden death of the King of Luling must have been done by someone!" Before Wu Zetian could ask him anything, He Lan Minzhi said in an impatient tone: "Aunt, Minzhi feels that it must be Chen Yi. He must have sent people to do this because he did not want Xian'er to live in the world and wanted to get rid of him quickly!" "Oh?!" Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows and looked at Helan Minzhi in surprise, "Minzhi, why are you like this? "Say?" After summoning He Lan Minzhi into the palace, Wu Zetian didn't even ask He Lan Minzhi, but He Lan Minzhi said this. She was quite surprised and surprised. Seeing that Wu Zetian was surprised, Helan Minzhi quickly explained: "Aunt, Chen Yi is opposed to your taking the throne before the court, and he also has issues with Xian'er. He must hope that he can take charge of power. Xian'er is the emperor's biological father. If there is If he returns to court one day, his influence on court affairs cannot be small. Chen Yi certainly does not want this to happen, so Xian'er is a thorn in his side, and he will definitely get rid of it quickly!" Wu Zetian listened. , without comment, the reason He Lan Minzhi said seems a bit far-fetched. You must know when Li Xian was in power. Chen Yi is very important. Chen Yi currently holds the position of Minister Youpushe. It was obtained during the period when Li Xian was emperor. She did not agree that Li Xian was a thorn in Chen Yi's side. Helan Minzhi read the strange expression on Wu Zetian's face and the doubts contained in the strange expression. He knew that what he said was not convincing enough, so he quickly continued to explain: "Auntie, Chen Yi is against you taking the throne. If you don't care, The ministers of the political affairs hall will be responsible for all major affairs in the court. He and Pei Xingjian are close friends. They always share their anger. Without you, it would be the two of them who are in charge of the affairs of the court! Because of this. , Although Chen Yi has your favor, he has never supported your claim to be emperor, and it is for this reason! He wants to take control of the government by himself!" "If, aunt, you let go of the affairs of the court, and Xian'er is gone, then what will happen to the court? The prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall was mainly responsible for major affairs. Pei Xingjian and Chen Yi dominated the affairs of the Political Affairs Hall, and Pei Xingjian always supported Chen Yi. In addition, Pei Xingjian was old and could not stay in the Political Affairs Hall for a few more years. In the end, the Political Affairs Hall The affairs of the hall will be decided by Chen Yi!" He Lan Minzhi kept observing the changes in Wu Zetian's expression while he was speaking. When he saw the change in Wu Zetian's expression after listening to his words, he immediately continued: "Aunt, you are right. Because of this, Chen Yi thought of getting rid of Xian'er, which would remove a huge obstacle for him to seek higher power. If Chen Yi dared to kill Xian'er, he would definitely do other things. Maybe one day, He will also attack his aunt!" These words made Wu Zetian suddenly change his expression, and his face that was already a little haggard became ugly. She wanted to say something but held it back. Seeing the abnormal change in Wu Zetian's expression, He Lan Minzhi felt very proud and continued to add insult to injury: "Aunt, Chen Yi's heart is so cruel that he dares to kill even a descendant of the royal family like Xian'er. It's only a matter of time before I attack you, aunt." Auntie, you have to be well prepared, don't fall for his tricks, and take back some of the power in his hands while it's still under control!" After a pause, he lowered his voice and said again: "Auntie , according to Minzhi's thinking, the late emperor's illness, Hong'er's death, and Xian'er's illness may have been Chen Yi's method! He has the ability to do this, and his concubine Ning Qing has been here Developing drugs can kill people invisible. Minyue once told me this before, auntwhat's wrong with you? " Helan Minzhi didn't finish the sentence in the end because he saw Wu Zetian's face became very scary, no. If he dared to say anything again, he didn't know what he said was wrong, which made Wu Zetian angry. At this time, Wu Zetian's expression looked completely different from before, with a frightening expression, which made her originallyHe Lan Minzhi was so surprised that he didn't dare to say anything more, so he quickly shut up. Wu Zetian took two deep breaths, looked at Helan Minzhi with murderous eyes, and said almost word for word: "Minzhi, you can't believe the nonsense about the late emperor's affairs with Hong'er and Xian'er. This matter has already happened. According to the investigation results, the late emperor, Hong'er and Xian'er all got sick due to cold. If you talk nonsense about these things, it will definitely cause panic and even get you into trouble. Do you know that?" "Minzhi knows? !" Under Wu Zetian's terrifying gaze, He Lanmin lowered his head guiltily and did not dare to say anything more. "Minzhi, you go first. My aunt is tired today and wants to have a good rest. I will call you into the palace to talk when she is free!" Wu Zetian closed her eyes and waved her hand. In fact, she didn't ask He Lan Minzhi what happened! He Lan Minzhi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed and said: "Aunt, Na Minzhi resigned!" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and more updated. quick!
