When Chen Yi walked into the inner room, he saw Wu Zetian already sitting on the couch, with no expression on her face, just looking at him indifferently as she walked in. Wu Zetian gave him a salute and whispered greetings, but Wu Zetian was indifferent. Chen Yi just wanted to clarify the matter as soon as possible, so he stood quietly in front of Wu Zetian. I don¡¯t know how long it took, but Wu Zetian, who had been watching him, finally put away her blank gaze after sighing, lowered her eyelids, and asked quietly: "Chen Yi, I ask you, why do you do this?" ? I feel that I have treated you well. I have given you great importance over the years and have done many things without bothering you. Can you tell me, is what you did today going too far? " "Empress Dowager, my lord? This is also forced. I know that if I don't take the initiative to take action, what happens next will make me completely passive and at the mercy of others! Uncle Min will not let me go!" Chen Yi He sighed slightly as he spoke. "I know that Wei Xuantong's secret arrest is just a prelude. In the future, as long as I let it go, those people recommended by me will be knocked down one after another, and even I will end up like that!" Chen Yi said, Some people became angry and even spoke loudly without consciously saying, "My influence will be completely wiped out by you and Uncle Min. In the end, I will become a passerby in the Tang Dynasty like a lost dog, and my situation will even be even worse. It is possible that your life is not saved, and your family will be affected!" That's it. Chen Yi no longer has any fear or guilt. "I don't want to end up like this. I don't want to lose everything I have now. I don't want my family to be hurt. I want to give them a peaceful and comfortable living environment, so I want to give them a peaceful and comfortable living environment." It has to be like this!" Chen Yi's implication was that the actions he was taking now were completely forced. "If Wu Zetian and He Lan Minzhi hadn't pressed hard, he wouldn't have taken this action, it can be said. The meaning of his words was that the reason why he did this was attributed to the persecution of Wu Zetian and Helan Minzhi. Their persecution left him no choice but to adopt tough confrontation. Seeing Wu Zetian listening to him in silence, Chen Yi hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Queen Mother, I don't want to make too much noise. I don't want to think of bloody conflicts, so I want to have a good talk with you" "Have a good talk. ?" Wu Zetian interrupted Chen Yi. Full of joking, he said: "Is this what you want to have a good talk? You led the soldiers of the Yulin Army to surround the Xianju Palace. Do you want to have a good talk, or do you want to use force to force me to agree to all your demands and satisfy you?" Your ambition?" Chen Yi could read the anger and disappointment in Wu Zetian's words, but his expression did not change at all. He still said respectfully as before: "My Majesty, I hope that there will be no chaos in the Tang Dynasty, so I took advantage of the situation. In times of chaos, please have a good talk with me and discuss a good outcome! Now that the emperor is young, I don¡¯t want chaos in the Tang Dynasty, and I don¡¯t want to see my wife go further down the wrong road!¡± "Is this palace going further and further down the wrong road?" After hearing this, Wu Zetian shouted angrily: "Chen Yi, let me ask you, did everything you have now come from this palace, or from that little emperor? "Yours?" "Of course everything you have is a gift from me!" "Since you know that all this is due to me, why do you repay your favor and treat me like this?" He said. There were tears rolling in Wu Zetian's eyes! Seeing that Wu Zetian was about to shed tears, Chen Yixin suddenly softened. It is no exaggeration to say that after so many years of contact with Wu Zetian, he has never seen this woman shed tears, except for the time when Li Zhi passed away. Of course, he knew that Wu Zetian was acting that time, but he still said with a hard heart: "Mother, I have no intention of repaying kindness with enmity. I am doing this for your own good!" "These past few years, my uncle who is sensitive has been tempting you to seek the throne and become the emperor yourself. I am deeply worried about this. Brother, he is sending you to the Queen Mother. Pushing on the fire bed, how can a woman become an emperor in history? If your Majesty took this step, not only would you not succeed, but the achievements you have made for the late emperor in the past few years and your good reputation in the public will be completely destroyed. Destroyed! Is it the mother-in-law who has to bear the infamy? " "I don't want my mother to fall into this situation, so I try my best to stop her, but my mother-in-law has always refused to listen to my advice. This time, I not only listened to my uncle Minzhi's bewitchment. , to build momentum for himself to become the emperor, and to purge those ministers who were unwilling to obey. Wei Xuantong only made a few complaints after drinking, and was secretly arrested and imprisoned. The minister did not want his empress to bring blood to the Tang Dynasty, so I have to take action to stop it! I feel that if my mother"Stop now, and any turmoil in the Tang Dynasty can be avoided!" "Don't you think your empress' life was very good before?" Why do you have to want to be an emperor? The empress has been in charge of the affairs of the Tang Dynasty for so many years. She must be tired. She needs some time to recuperate her body!" Seeing Wu Zetian's face changing from gloomy to sunny, Chen Yi also softened his slightly excited tone and spoke softly. He said: "Your Majesty, I think you can continue to live as you did before, occasionally giving advice on major political affairs, and living a relaxed and leisurely life in the rest of the time, focusing on taking care of your body. This is the life you need now! You are for the Tang Dynasty. After working hard for so many years, it¡¯s time to take a good rest!¡± ¡°People¡¯s life goes by very quickly, and they will grow old in a blink of an eye. The empress does not want to let herself grow old quickly because of her continued hard work. If she does, she will grow old quickly. , that¡¯s so boring! In addition to fighting for one¡¯s ideals, a person also needs to enjoy his life. Life without enjoyment is incomplete! Your Majesty, you don¡¯t lack anything now, and you have enjoyed the feeling of holding the pinnacle of power for many years. It's time to have a good rest!" "That's enough, stop talking!" Wu Zetian interrupted Chen Yi's chatter with an angry shout! However, the anger she showed was much smaller than before, because Chen Yi just said this Some of the words that sounded like long words touched her heart. She was tired and needed to take good care of herself and enjoy herself. This kind of thought often appeared in these years, but most of the time it was covered up by some kind of ambition. But now that Chen Yi spoke so softly, it stirred up the tiredness and need for a good rest that she had deliberately hidden, but she also knew that she could not be persuaded by Chen Yi like this. It would be so funny if such a few words made her give up her original plan. But she didn't expect that while she was struggling in her heart, Chen Yi walked up to her and grabbed her hand on her knee. Before she could guard against it, she held it in her palm. "Your Majesty, what I said was from the bottom of my heart. I don't want you to be infamy for all eternity. Today, the Tang Dynasty is booming, and no country can pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty. , I don¡¯t want civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, and I don¡¯t want to see anyone trying to replace it. If your Majesty, you insist on going your own way, if you end up dead without a burial someday, how can you have the face to see the late emperor? " "Live well, live well, live a relaxed and leisurely life, without fighting, without bloodshed, and the world is peaceful, how wonderful it would be! My dear, don't you want to live a peaceful life, but hope to be criticized by thousands of people and bear the burden of the world? Infamy? " As Chen Yi spoke, he held Wu Zetian's hand with one hand and stroked Wu Zetian's face with the other. His words were extremely gentle. He knew that this would definitely be effective. Wu Zetian, who was under a certain degree of drug control, found it difficult to organize his mind. He resisted the effects of the medicine and his "tender and affectionate" words. But he didn't expect that after he said these words in an extremely gentle tone, Wu Zetian began to sob, and got out of control. After a while. Tears welled up in his eyes. Chen Yi suddenly felt soft and could not say anything else. He just took out his handkerchief and carefully wiped the tears from Wu Zetian's face. Finally, Wu Zetian took it with one hand and wiped away the tears in her eyes. , and broke away from Chen Yi's arms, and hid his whole body and sat down, looking at Chen Yi with a sad face: "Chen Yi, I want to ask you, if Minzhi and I don't listen to your advice and insist on going your own way, you How will we respond? I know that you have mobilized the Yulin Army to surround the Xianju Palace. No one can enter or leave. I ask you, if we don't listen to you, what do you want to do with us? " "Your Majesty, I think you will agree!" "But what if I don't listen to your advice?" "I don't want this to happen, and I don't want to talk to your Majesty!" "I understand! Wu Zetian looked dejected, "If I don't listen to your advice, then from today onwards, I will lose my freedom, and I may even lose my life, right?" " "This is what the empress said herself, I didn't say that!" Chen Yi sighed slightly, but still said calmly: "I just hope that the empress will not go to extremes, and don't fall into the trap of a thousand people just for the sake of status. Eternal infamy. I am doing this for your empress¡¯s good! What your empress has done over the years is not much different from that of the emperor. Since you have such power, why do you want to seek the emperor¡¯s false reputation? This is often the case. If you plan more, you will often lose a lot! I think the empress understands this principle very well! Of course, I will not do anything excessive to the empress!" "In other words, I have lost those things I had before. Already? "Of course your Majesty can continue to give advice on state affairs! I don't think anyone will take your Majesty's words seriously!" "I understand!" Wu Zetian still looked slumped, slowly closed his eyes, and thought for a while. After meeting, he waved to Chen Yi again, "Chen Yi, please step back. I am very tired and need to have a good rest."Next, have a good sleep and be energetic before we talk! You must have everything in the palace in your hands and everything has been arranged. There will be no chaos in Chang'an City. You can take care of it yourself!" "Yes, my queen. , then I will retire!" Chen Yi said nothing more, turned around and exited the inner room after bowing.
