(Starting from today, it will be changed to a 5,000-word chapter every day at noon until the book is completed!) He Lan Minzhi stood in the outer hall, pacing back and forth irritably under Xiaoyu's supervision, but he could only stay here. A place with nowhere to go. He tried to resist, scolded and reprimanded Xiaoyu, but Xiaoyu was indifferent. He wanted to use force to deal with Xiaoyu, but Xiaoyu's hands were not strictly trained at all. When he tried to use violence, he was subdued by Xiaoyu in just one round. He was so shocked that he did not dare to act recklessly anymore, so he could only temporarily yield. As soon as he saw Chen Yi walking out of the palace, he could no longer hold back his anger, and he immediately directed it at Chen Yi. "Chen Yi, you are going too far!" He Lan Minzhi pointed his finger at Chen Yi angrily and shouted: "You are a ungrateful white-eyed wolf. It's a shame that your aunt trusts you so much, but you treat her like this! I promised my sister to Marry you, but in the end, you will repay kindness with revenge! You heartless bastard, you are so disappointing, I will not let you go, I will kill you with one sword, and I will never make it easy for you ¡¡± ¡°Chen Yi, I will persuade my sister to leave you¡¡± ¡°Chen Yi, I will let my mother scold you¡¡± ¡°Chen Yi, you will die badly¡¡± After enduring some congratulations After Lan Minzhi's scolding, Chen Yi calmly wiped the spittle on his face, took a step back, and politely said to He Lan Minzhi: "Brother is so excited, I have told the Queen Mother That¡¯s it. The Queen Mother has agreed to my request! Why don¡¯t you go in and have a few words with the Queen Mother? She will definitely tell you if there is any decision! I¡¯ll leave first and come back to talk to you after things are sorted out! " With that said, He Lan Minzhi ignored him and took Xiaoyu out of the Xianju Palace. Xiaoyu stayed outside the hall, and she will be with several other companions. Monitor Wu Zetian and Helan Minzhi who are under house arrest in Xianju Palace. The five hundred officers and soldiers of the Yulin Army led by Zhang Qianxu are still staying outside the Xianju Palace, not allowing anyone to enter or exit! The entire Daming Palace and all important gate towers are occupied by the left and right Yulin Army and the left and right Jinwu Guards. The sergeants control it, and no one is allowed to move freely without special orders. The palace maids and eunuchs must all stay where they live. If there are any intruders, they will be shot without mercy. After Chen Yi left the Xianju Palace, he did not leave the palace, but went to the Yanying Palace where the young emperor Li Chongrun lived. When Chen Yi arrived at Yanying Hall, it was already late at night, and the young emperor Li Chongrun had already fallen asleep. Li Chongrun is just one and a half years old. He will be 19 months old in a few days and will already be able to speak. He can walk and is chubby. Very cute. Chen Yi saw something familiar and kind to him between the little thing's brows and eyes. Of course he knew that this was the fault of family ties connected by blood. He also felt this feeling with his other sons, but Li Chongrun gave him a special feeling. Because the little thing is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the "head" of the most powerful empire in the world today! Chen Yi has never doubted that Li Chongrun is his son. Because he accurately calculated Webster's ovulation period. During the days when he was most suspicious of her, he also knew that Wei Shi had no close contact with Li Xian during those days. Furthermore, Li Xian is no longer fertile. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to prevent Webster from getting pregnant for so many years. Chen Yi once asked Wu Tuan'er to take care of Li Chongrun. After seeing Li Chongrun for the first time, Wu Tuan'er was surprised because she saw something familiar that made her surprised. She immediately came up with a ridiculous idea, thinking that Li Chongrun was Chen Yi. son. She also asked Chen Yi secretly. Of course it was not a direct inquiry, but Chen Yi prevaricated her. Chen Yi's prevarication made her believe that this little thing was born to Chen Yi. Thinking about the ridiculous things that happened to Chen Yi and Wu Zetian, and even made Wu Zetian pregnant, Wu Tuan'er was not very surprised that Chen Yi would hook up with Webster. But what surprised her was that Chen Yi pushed this little thing to the position of emperor. After figuring out the ultimate purpose of what Chen Yi did, Wu Tuan'er was greatly surprised, but he didn't dare to say anything or come into the palace again. Chen Yi believed that Wu Tuan'er would keep his mouth shut and would not say anything. No one else would say anything, even if they saw something, unless it was Wu Zetian. " Wu Zetian once joked that Li Chongrun looked a bit like Chen Yi, but he was put off by saying that the children looked similar when they were young, but they would change when they grew up. There were not many people in the palace who could come into contact with Li Chongrun and look at little things at close range. Apart from the serving maids and eunuchs, Wu Zetian was almost the only one. As long as Wu Zetian didn't doubt, then nothing would happen! If Li Chongrun grew up, he looked very much like him , but that is no longer important. Even if someone suspects it, as long as there is no evidence to prove anything, there is no way to accuse. After all,He must be in great power then. Handsome-looking people always have a bit in common, just like he and He Lan Minzhi look a bit alike, and it¡¯s easy to find the reason! Looking at his sleeping son, the features and eyes that look very similar to his own make him laugh. He felt so kind that he couldn't help but reach out and touch the delicate face a few times, and he immediately thought of the child's mother, Webster. For Webster, he felt a sense of guilt. Although it was said that he did not kill Webster with his own hands, Wu Zetian was extremely angry and did not want her to live, but it was always a bit unbearable for his son's mother to die tragically beside him. "Perhaps any interaction with Webster can be regarded as an exchange of interests, but after all, she is the mother of the child, and the family relationship born through the child can no longer be cut off. Thinking of Webster's situation, he will always feel sad. He didn¡¯t see what Webster looked like when she was dying, but he could imagine that she must have been very sad and angry. To be honest, if he had wanted to save Webster at that time, Webster would not have died. It's just that Webster's life is such a big trouble, it can almost be said to be a time bomb. If he is not careful, Webster may become his fatal weakness. For the best long-term plan, he still allows Webster's life to disappear. ¡°If Wei was allowed to live, if she revealed Li Chongrun¡¯s true identity, many people would be miserable, including him and Li Chongrun. It was certainly cruel to let Wei Shi die, but for the sake of Li Chongrun's future, so that his precious son could successfully become emperor, he could only be cruel and let such cruel things happen around him! But he didn't know that if Li Chongrun asked Li Chongrun in the future. he asked. How should you answer when you ask who your biological mother is and where she went? Of course, he didn¡¯t know whether he should tell Li Chongrun¡¯s true body. After entering and taking a look at Li Chongrun's lovely sleeping appearance, Chen Yi sat in the outer hall and waited. Just now, he had sent word that Pei Xingjian had entered the palace. He would surely arrive soon. As expected, Pei Xingjian arrived at Yanying Hall after waiting for less than a quarter of an hour. The entire Daming Palace has been put under martial law, and most of the city gates in Chang'an City are also controlled by Chen Yi's trusted generals. The streets are full of Jinwu Guards sergeants patrolling, and anyone traveling at night will be strictly investigated. Even an official like Pei Xingjian. When he came to the palace from his residence, he was blocked several times by the Jinwu Guards, but he immediately let him go after knowing that Pei Xingjian was among them. Pei Xingjian had noticed something strange from the situation in the palace in the city, combined with what Chen Yi had said to him a few days ago. A while ago, Chen Yi sent someone to tell him about going to Dali Temple prison to rob Wei Xuantong. Pei Xingjian immediately concluded. Chen Yi has already had a showdown with Wu Zetian and has taken some action. He was also very sad that Chen Yi was too impulsive and made such a decision privately. It seemed that everything was irreversible. ¡°Earlier, he got the report from Chen Yi. After learning that Chen Yi had snatched Wei Xuantong out of Dali Temple prison by force, Pei Xingjian was extremely anxious. He knew that a major turmoil was coming soon, and wanted to discuss countermeasures with Chen Yi immediately. But Chen Yi's person could not be found, but when asked, it was Chen Yi who had entered the palace. He also wanted to enter the palace immediately, but was blocked at the palace gate. After seeing that the soldiers of the imperial army were on the highest alert, Pei Xingjian sighed and went back to the palace. Pei Xingjian thought that a palace coup was going to happen tonight, and he was going to summon some close friends to discuss countermeasures. However, he didn't expect that before he ordered people to spread the news, he summoned people to his house. , people sent by Chen Yi arrived at his house and invited him into the palace to discuss matters. Pei Xingjian naturally did not dare to delay at all, and immediately entered the palace. Without any politeness, the two talked directly about the matter. Chen Yi also told what happened tonight, including all the conversations between him and Wu Zetian and He Lan Minzhi, as well as the many previous grievances. Of course, personal good things with Wu Zetian must not be mentioned. After recounting the matter, Chen Yi asked again: "Brother Keeping the Agreement, I think you will definitely blame me for acting recklessly, but the matter is urgent, and I don't think much about it. I just want to take advantage of the Queen Mother's large-scale purge before it starts." , before the usurpation of the throne has really started, stop it! I believe that in order to maintain the stability of the Tang Dynasty, there must be such a direct conflict with the Queen Mother. Instead of starting to seek after the Queen Mother's ambition is completely exposed, It would be better to have a showdown with her and conflict with her when she has the highest power. It would be better to strangle the Queen Mother's usurpation of the throne at the very beginning. This will not cause too much turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, and can also prevent many people from being purged. The fate of the Tang Dynasty will continue to be stable, and the order of the court will be maintained! Brother Keeper, do you understand the purpose of my doing this? " "Zi Ying, I can understand your intention of doing this, and I can also understand what you are going through. Wei Xuantong was secretly arrested and acted out of grief and anger. Have you ever thought about the situation you will get yourself into if you do this?? Have you ever thought about how the ministers of the DPRK and China would evaluate you and define your actions? If someone thinks you are treasonous, how would you explain it? The Queen Mother and the late Emperor have been in charge of the government for so many years. How can her reputation in the court be comparable to yours? If the Queen Mother raises her arms, most of the ministers in the court will lean towards her. By then, you will end up betraying all your relatives. You How to clean up? Have you ever thought about the causes and consequences? "Pei Xingjian's words were a bit harsh. "The Queen Mother has no chance to fight!" Chen Yi said calmly: "The Queen Mother has been banned in the Xianju Palace, Wu Minzhi has also been banned there, and their cronies have also been controlled. Get up, as long as you ask for an edict from the Queen Mother, give up continuing to be in charge of the affairs of the court, and entrust the affairs of the court to us ministers who care about life, then nothing will happen, and the order of the Tang Dynasty will continue to be maintained!" "But The Queen Mother will definitely not agree. As long as she does not agree, your idea cannot be realized!" Pei Xingjian felt that Chen Yi must have forced Wu Zetian to agree to something, but Wu Zetian would definitely not give up and would find an opportunity to fight back! Chen Yi shook his head, Explained: "Brother Keeping the Promise, the Queen Mother herself felt tired and did not want to interfere in court affairs. She finally said so herself, now that she has said so. If she wants to do this, who can force her to do it? Yes or no? Pei Xingjian was stunned by Chen Yi's relaxed appearance. He looked at Chen Yi in disbelief and couldn't even think of what to say. Pei Xingjian's reaction did not surprise Chen Yi. He smiled and said: " Brother Shouyu, from now on, the affairs of the Tang Dynasty will be mainly handled by the prime ministers of the Zhengshitang. You are the head of the hundred officials and preside over the affairs of the Zhengshitang. Aren't you happy to see this situation happen? Pei Xingjian was stunned when Chen Yi asked him this question. After thinking about it for a moment, he shook his head and said mockingly, "Zi Ying." A certain person is old and suffering from injuries. He has long wanted to withdraw from the court to take care of his old age and live a comfortable life for a few years, but court affairs are complicated. It has always made someone hesitate What you said makes sense, if the Queen Mother really gives up and continues to hold the power of the government. Then the order of the Tang Dynasty will continue to be as it is now! Of course I don't want the order of the Tang Dynasty to be chaotic. It's just that I'm not as ambitious as before, and I don't want to do anything earth-shattering anymore! But" Pei Xingjian seemed to have thought of something. After saying "No," he stopped talking and looked at Chen with shining eyes. Yi. "But what?" "Chen Yi couldn't help but ask. "Zi Ying, I completely understand what you are thinking. Don¡¯t worry, as long as I am in power, I will definitely support what you do!¡± ¡°Huh? !" Chen Yi exclaimed slightly and couldn't figure it out. Why did Pei Xingjian's attitude change so drastically in an instant? From hesitation a moment ago to support with conditions, what exactly did this man think of? Pei Xingjian It seemed that Chen Yi was not surprised at all, but he did not explain it. He just smiled and said: "Zi Ying, I know that you have made careful arrangements before doing what you did today. There is no need for you to hide it from me. Just talk to me in detail about your plan for dealing with the aftermath of today's incident! Maybe I can give you some opinions, but that's not necessarily the case!" "Of course, today I'm in a hurry to see my promise-keeping brother to come to the palace to discuss matters, just because I want to talk to him. Please tell me carefully about the arrangements for the aftermath of this matter!" Chen Yi said, without hiding anything, and told Pei Xingjian all his plans in detail, including how to deal with Wu Zetian and Helan Minzhi, and some The promotion and demotion of officials. Pei Xingjian listened carefully, but while listening to Chen Yi's story, he never expressed any opinions. He did not express his opinions until Chen Yi finished explaining all the arrangements. " Ziying, your arrangements are very thorough. To be honest, if someone unexpectedly happened, you must have been planning such a thing for a long time! Then tell me what you think of your plan!" "Brother, please keep your promise. Please give me some advice!" "I think it's better than this" ¡ª¡ª After a confidential conversation with Pei Xingjian, Chen Yi finally felt relieved. His plan was to temporarily force Wu Zetian to hand over power. The prime ministers of the political hall handle state affairs on their behalf, which is a form almost similar to the cabinet system. Before the emperor fails to take charge, the prime ministers of the political hall jointly decide on major political affairs. Shangshu Ling will become the "prime minister" of this "initial" cabinet. After receiving the opinions of the prime minister, Chen Yi originally planned to let Pei Xingjian take the post of Shangshuling, but Pei Xingjian refused, saying that after the incident, he would take up his official position and rest after the order in the court was stabilized. He left and stopped caring about state affairs. He asked Chen Yi to take charge of the affairs until the emperor could take charge. This was of course Chen Yi's ultimate pursuit. After a showdown, he must want to take the power of the government into his arms until Li Chongrun grows up! Chen Yi knew that he could not be emperor. He was from a foreign surname, and even a descendant of the Chen royal family was not qualified to be emperor. Just like Wu Zetian, if he had this idea, many of his followers would betray him and leave. The only one who can be emperor is his son Li Chongrun, whose surname is "Li". What he has to do now and in the next few years, for more than ten years, is to make a wedding dress for his son and create a prosperous Tang Dynasty and a good world for him. The order of the court would allow Li Chongrun to inherit the throne steadily. He would be satisfied if he could do this! From Pei Xingjian's hesitation when he first spoke, to his full support a while later, although Chen Yi did not understand what factors made Pei Xingjian change his mind in an instant, this old friend With full support, the matter will be easier to handle. He still has so many capable ministers who fully support him and hold high positions in the court. From tomorrow on, the situation in the Tang Dynasty will be completely changed. After discussing with Pei Xingjian, Chen Yi summoned other important officials in the court, including Wei Xuantong, Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi, King Luo Bin, Wang Bo, Wang Jun, Li Qiao and others to come to Yanying Hall to discuss the matter together. Chen Yi has discussed many matters in this regard with them before. He summoned them to the palace today to prepare for the announcement of reforms in court affairs at the court meeting tomorrow. The actions of the imperial army have begun to expand outside the palace. Those who were regarded as confidants of Wu Zetianqi, including Li Jingxuan, Pei Yan and other palace disciples, were all surrounded. These main figures were also invited to leave the palace and live temporarily in the palace. After the matter is over, they may have a chance to leave. After the matter was discussed, Chen Yi asked all these trusted figures to stay in the palace, continue to discuss the matter, and work out a detailed charter for the purpose of being read out at the court meeting tomorrow. After discussing the good things and making detailed arrangements, he left Yanying Hall and went to Xianju Hall where Wu Zetian lived. He believed that Wu Zetian had already discussed many things with He Lan Minzhi. The two of them must have come up with the result of their discussion, and Wu Zetian could give him a decision! It happened that at this time, someone came to report that Wu Zetian had called him over to talk. , Chen Yi also immediately went to Xianju Palace. (To be continued)
