    Chen Yi expected that Wu Zetian or He Lan Minzhi would take action against him, but he did not expect that everything would happen quickly. A major event that he had never expected happened in the blink of an eye! Wei Xuantong was imprisoned.  When someone reported the news, Chen Yi was shocked.  This is something he never expected. Wei Xuantong, the dignified Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, third rank under the name of Tongzhongshu, and ranked in the political affairs hall, would be captured by Zhou Ju, the newly promoted Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and thrown into prison.  Wei Xuantong was secretly put into prison. No news had been revealed before. Chen Yi also knew about this incident at the first time because he had many informants, and figured out why this happened.  After figuring out the situation, Chen Yi knew that this was a signal for Wu Zetian to start purging, and she wanted to pave the way for her to ascend the throne as emperor.  But it is also possible that someone is doing what Wu Zetian wants to do under the guise of Wu Zetian.  According to what those spies reported to Chen Yi, the reason for the incident was: Wei Xuantong said in a private discussion with others that there are many people spreading rumors that the heroine will rule the world, and such deceptive things must be strictly investigated.  She also privately said that since the Queen Mother can abolish the dusk and establish the Ming Dynasty, why does she need to come to the court again?  If the Queen Mother had returned to power earlier, the world would have been peaceful, and Emperor Li Xian would not have ended up like this.  Wei Xuantong said this when he had a good personal relationship with him and was regarded as a confidant by Jia Dayin, a member of the civil service department. He said this when they were having a drink together and the meal was too much.  Unexpectedly, after Jia Dayin heard what Wei Xuantong said, he immediately reported it to Helan Minzhi.  As if he had found the treasure, Helan Minzhi immediately went to the palace and told Wu Zetian.  Wu Zetian just sighed with emotion: Wei Xuan and I quoted it, but now he has betrayed me! He Lanmin understood it in his heart and immediately asked Wu Zetian for instructions, saying that he would handle the matter.  After getting Wu Zetian¡¯s tacit approval.  He Lan Minzhi immediately instructed Zhou Xing, the young minister of Dali Temple who was recommended by him and entrusted with an important position, to secretly capture Wei Xuantong at night and take him to the Dali Temple prison.  In the process of capturing Wei Xuantong, all investigators strictly abided by discipline and acted quickly without encountering any interference.  Wei Xuantong's family was not implicated, and Zhou Xing and his men only captured Wei Xuantong.  Chen Yi reported this incident about an hour after Wei Xuantong was taken to the Dali Temple prison by Zhou Xing, and at dawn, he figured out the whole incident.  After thinking hard for about an hour and a half.  Chen Yi had a countermeasure and immediately asked people to prepare horses. He wanted to enter the palace to find Wu Zetian.  However, the result of entering the palace was very unexpected. Wu Zetian said that she was ill and could not get up.  Chen Yi was not seen, nor was anyone else seen.  This instantly ignited the anger in Chen Yi's heart.  He had long expected that Wu Zetian would attack him or someone he considered a confidant.  But he didn't expect Wu Zetian to move so quickly.  And he took down Wei Xuantong, one of the most important figures in his group, who was ranked in the political affairs hall, so easily. The crime was just a few words of private discussion.  Of course Wu Zetian knew that Wei Xuantong was recommended by him and was promoted year after year because of his astonishing talents and abilities.  He can be regarded as one of the most important warriors in his small group, and now he has taken action, which fully shows Wu Zetian's attitude.  Wei Xuantong was very highly regarded by Chen Yi, but his temperament also gave him a headache.  It can be said that the upright personality of the ancients was well reflected in Wei Xuantong.  Will speak out on many matters.  Of course, other people also behaved like this, and they also firmly believed that Chen Yi was not completely dependent on Wu Zetian.  Although these people all knew that Chen Yi finally gained the position because of Wu Zetian's favor, they stubbornly believed that it was because of Chen Yi's outstanding talents that Wu Zetian looked at him differently and entrusted him with important tasks.  They also understood from the relationship between Chen Yi and Wu Zetian over the years, as well as some of Chen Yi's usual words, that Chen Yi did not agree with Wu Zetian's rule, especially since Li Chongrun became emperor.  Especially obvious.  Chen Yi hoped that Li Chongrun would be assisted by only a few ministers who cared about life until the young emperor came of age.  Therefore, people including Wei Xuantong, Zhang Jianzhi and others would criticize Wu Zetian from time to time.  These criticisms are naturally what they think. To be honest, who wants to see a woman in charge of such a powerful Tang Empire.  The Tang Dynasty belongs to the Li family. As the daughter-in-law of the Li family, Wu Zetian has been in charge of the court affairs ministers for many years on behalf of Li Zhi. Everyone hopes that Wu Zetian will retreat behind the scenes.  It is better for the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall to assist the young emperor than for Wu Zetian, who has been in charge of the power of the Tang Dynasty for decades, to handle court affairs on his behalf.  Nowadays, it is widely rumored that the heroine will take charge of the world. Many people, including them, are very worried, fearing that Wu Zetian will take care of things on behalf of the little emperor.It was not surprising that Wei Xuantong, who had an upright nature and was drinking with his friends, uttered a few truths after drinking too much.  Unexpectedly, the despicable Jia Dayin secretly informed He Lan Minzhi in order to have a chance to get promoted.  Chen Yi knew that He Lanmin was afraid of his power and had long been looking for opportunities to weaken his power. Of course Wu Zetian also had this thought, but he was hesitant and unwilling to show it.  Now that he had such an opportunity, Helan Minzhi certainly would not give up. After confusing Wu Zetian for a while, he naturally got the consent of Wu Zetian, who wanted to make it a big deal.  It can be said that in this matter, Wu Zetian and He Lan Minzhi teamed up to deal with him.  Today Wu Zetian didn't want to see him due to illness, and she explained everything clearly.  Of course Chen Yi would not give up. No matter what, he had to save Wei Xuantong. Not only would he save Wei Xuantong from death, but he would not even be blamed for this close confidant who held a high position, otherwise he would alienate other close confidants.  Disappointed in him.  He wants to change from passive to active, and even take the opportunity to counterattack that he didn't want to do now, so as to weaken the opponent's strength.  He immediately wrote a memorial and asked Wu Tuan'er to find a way to deliver it to Wu Zetian. He also mobilized several other people who were close to Wei Xuantong to write memorials at the same time and delivered them to Wu Zetian one after another, creating pressure on Wu Zetian.  Wei Xuantong only had a few words after drinking. He had not shown any other disloyalty to the court for so many years. Over the years, the Tang Dynasty gradually pursued the concept of governing the country without being punished for words. As the prime minister, Wei Xuantong only had a few words after drinking.  .  Of course you cannot be convicted, let alone be secretly arrested and imprisoned.  If all the prime ministers of Zhengshitang could be secretly arrested by officials of Dali Temple, there would be no chaos in Chao Gang.  However, to Chen Yi's surprise, after several memorials written by several people were handed over to Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian did not hand over any news, nor did she summon Chen Yi to the palace for questioning.  However, He Lan Minzhi went in and out of the Xianju Palace several times to discuss matters secretly with Wu Zetian.  And He Lan Minzhi was arranging some other things on Wu Zetian's order.  According to the news from Xiaoyu, Helan Minzhi suggested that Wu Zetian immediately replace some of the Forbidden Army generals.  To avoid chaos in the palace.  Wu Zetian did not seem to object to He Lan Minzhi's suggestion, but said that she would seriously consider the selection issue.  This made Chen Yi further feel that the situation was serious, and without any hesitation, he immediately summoned all his cronies for discussion.  While waiting for his cronies to arrive, Chen Yi had already made his choice.  He had to choose one of the several plans he had prepared before and implement it.  Although the current situation is not very critical.  But if it really becomes critical, it will be too late to respond! He wants to strike first! Since it is against each other and it is about to be life and death, it is the best choice to strike first! Chen Yi immediately ordered him to stay in the palace.  The cronies inside, including those who control the imperial army, all arrived at their posts.  Anyone who dares to trespass into the forbidden area will be killed without mercy.  And after all the cronies arrived, detailed arrangements were made! After getting ready, everyone was ready, and everyone who had been summoned dispersed.  Chen Yi went to the palace again to see Wu Zetian, but he was still not allowed to see her. Even Wu Tuan'er was kicked out.  Wu Zetian asked Wu Tuan'er to go back to the palace to rest for a few days. After he had rested, she would let him serve in the palace.  Regarding Wu Zetian¡¯s remarks, Chen Yi could only sneer.  He did not stay in the palace any longer. After issuing some special instructions, he immediately left the palace and brought about two hundred of the Xianbei men that Murong Nuohebo had given him. He also ordered Cheng Wuting to bring a group of  The officers and soldiers of the imperial army then dragged Di Renjie, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, and rushed towards the Yamen of Dali Temple with murderous intent. He wanted to snatch people from Zhou Xing.  Since Wu Zetian had already made such a move, expressed her abandonment of him, and did not hesitate to make Wei Xuantong, the prime minister of the dynasty, guilty because of her words, then he did not mind causing Chao Gang to be confused, so he just had a showdown with Wu Zetian.  He wanted to strike first. He didn't want to do those weak actions and let others take advantage of him. He didn't engage in a trapped animal fight until the situation was very manageable and under control.  The little emperor Li Chongrun is his son. For the sake of his son, even if he is burdened with infamy, he must clean up Chao Gang and put an end to it directly this time.  Wu Zetian and He Lan Minzhi took action. He took the move and responded with a sharp move at a very fast speed. He kept it until they could not recover. If Wu Zetian ordered the removal of the forbidden army generals in the palace, then what would he want to do?  It's too late.  Di Renjie followed Chen Yi anxiously to the Dali Temple prison. He could not understand that his colleague Wei Xuantong would be imprisoned.  After Lao Wei was imprisoned, Chen Yi had such a fierce performance.  Di Renjie, who was deeply educated in the idea of ??loyalty to the emperor, would never have a rebellious mentality like Chen Yi. In his imagination, since he was convicted by the court, the only thing he could do was to hope that Wei Xuantong would be sentenced to a misdemeanor after being requested by other ministers.  , rather than fighting with violence.    How did he know that Chen Yi's plan was no longer simple? After Li Chongrun was promoted to the throne, their "big brother" had the idea of ????going all out, and had long been plotting to eliminate several people in the court by force.  Big forces, including Wu Zetian and Helan Minzhi.  Today¡¯s move is just a prelude. In the coming days, fierce confrontations and even bloody conflicts may continue to take place. After this incident subsides, things will become clear.  Chen Yi believed that if he won, the general trend of the world would move in the same direction, and everything would be prepared for Li Chongrun to take over the throne in the future; but if he failed, the fate of many people, including the young emperor Li Chongrun, might be different.  It is very tragic that the Tang Dynasty may fall into the hands of Wu Zetian and He Lanmin.  Although there is a possibility of failure, Chen Yi is very confident that he will definitely succeed. The world of the Tang Dynasty will eventually fall on the head of his son, Li Chongrun, and he will have a great influence as the regent.  Tang¡¯s development direction over the past several decades.  "It's just that he will feel guilty about Wu Zetian and He Lanmin.  After all, they had just attacked him, and he fought back desperately, ready to knock them down with one blow!
