His Majesty the Emperor did not wear official uniform, and Di Renjie did not kneel down and bow, but only raised his hands in a circle.
There was some soil on the ground in the garden after all. Li Chongrun didn't want to kneel down and worship on the ground.
He simply followed Di Renjie and made a circle salute in the same manner, singing Er'er: "Li Chongrun, a common man, has met the emperor."
He also deliberately made the ending sound very long to show his cleverness.
"Huaiying, please sit down by yourself. Do you still have to ask me to let you do it?" This was the first time that Li Chongrun heard Wu Zetian's voice since he could remember it. It was not as old as he imagined, and it sounded a little charming.
Wu Zetian turned to look at her somewhat embarrassed grandson: "Looking at it today, it seems that he is not as naughty as your aunt said."
Li Chongrun raised his head and looked at this person who was nominally his grandmother, but it was the first time in his life that he had met His Majesty the Supreme Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty. He didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only confess honestly. The rebuttal was naturally
Don't dare.
Li Chongrun secretly wondered in his heart, could the magic method mentioned by Mr. Chen really be able to maintain a sixty-eight-year-old man like a middle-aged woman? But he never dared to say it.
"You just go ahead, someone will take you there." Wu Zetian waved, and a little palace daughter in a goose-yellow palace dress came over obediently, and met Li Chongrun honestly. "I and I
Mr. Di has something to talk about."
The first time I met Wu Zetian, I just said hello and left.
Li Chongrun felt a little unwilling to give in, but today's interview was really hasty, and he couldn't think of what to say, so he could only bow to his duty and leave. Under the leadership of the little palace maid, he went into the palace.
went.
"Your Majesty didn't say anything about this kid?" Di Renjie knelt down at the corner of the mat and asked Wu Zetian curiously.
"I think I have been imprisoned for a long time, and I have some resentment in my heart. I will polish it in Taiping's hands first." Wu Zetian was very satisfied when he mentioned the poem he had just written, which was written in very beautiful Feibai style.
Di Renjie took a closer look at the poem, and it seemed to be the Qin Shi Mingyue that was sung by everyone during the Longmen assassination.
"You've been lingering in Beicheng for so long, aren't you just waiting for this great show?"
"I don't dare."
"You Di Renjie really don't dare to rebel. Is there anything else in the world that you don't dare to do?" Wu Zetian's expression was very subtle, seeming to be praising, but also seeming to be ridiculing.
"I don't dare to make our wife angry." Di Renjie replied to His Majesty with a half-smile, but after saying that, the monarch and his ministers laughed in unison.
"I can't let you watch the show in vain. First tell me what you went to Hulao Pass to check." Wu Zetian stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction where Li Chongrun was walking, "Taiping said she was slippery, but I
When I saw him today, I felt that he was not so smooth, and the resentment in his heart was very sincere."
Di Renjie thought carefully about his previous conversation with Li Chongrun and carefully considered his words before carefully mentioning it to Wu Zetian: "In my opinion, the people from Wuling have nothing to do with this young master. According to the surviving black knights and those who rushed to the rescue at that time,
The officers and soldiers said that the mechanism set up by the Wuling people was extremely vicious and they did not even spare their own people. If the young master was related to the Wuling people, he would definitely not carry out such a risky and painful trick."
"According to Chen Ziang, who was kidnapped together with the young master, the Wuling man they met was the younger brother of Wang Fangqing, the director of the Imperial Academy. However, this man should have died on the Dafeichuan twenty years ago. How he survived does not matter.
I didn’t know that I became a member of this Wuling people’s organization.”
"It doesn't matter. Taiping has been asking me for people recently. After much thought, among the people I can use, this guy is the only one who can barely use it."
"Is Your Majesty too anxious?" Di Renjie stroked his beard, feeling a little worried.
"The Wuling people are causing trouble, which has caused these clans to be in trouble recently. The star fell in the imperial city last night. If we leave these clans alone, I'm afraid there will be some trouble again."
"Your Majesty's holy light is shining, and the conspiracy will naturally not succeed." Di Renjie was doing Tai Chi with the emperor, but he focused on the sounds coming from outside.
Not far away, outside the Xuanwu Gate, a group of Qianniu Guards in green robes were taking people from the officials kneeling outside the gate based on a list. For a while, it was a bit noisy.
"Since you're here, I won't let you miss this good show." Wu Zetian noticed that Di Renjie was distracted, so he joked,
"If you want to do something, you have to do something absolutely. Those three have controlled the court for too long. If I want to promote some people for a long time, it depends on their faces. I am a little unhappy."
Di Renjie looked shocked, "Those three are all the same characters as six ministers. Now everything is not ready. If we start like this, I'm afraid there will be some trouble for a while."
"It's better to have trouble now than more trouble in the future." Wu Zetian just frowned, and there were some wrinkles in the yellow spots between her eyebrows. "If you just dislike me for cutting off their money and don't understand my thoughts, naturally
There would be no such assassination. They were in the first grade of junior high school, and if I didn’t do it in the fifteenth grade, I’m afraid they would dare to climb over me in the future.”
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
"It's just that the original plan for you to come back and take charge of Luozhou Sima, and wipe out these people both inside and outside the court, has come to nothing." Wu Zetian looked a little regretful. "I'm afraid the news of yesterday's failed assassination has spread.
, several elders of these wealthy families are about to pass away."
"In Yichen's opinion, it is not completely harmless. If we keep the power of these families for the time being, it will be easier to find the traces of the Wuling people."
"We can't eradicate these powerful clans at the same time. We have to touch their foundation at least." Wu Zetian glanced in the direction where Li Chongrun was walking, with a vague look of hope. "Since Taiping praised this boy so much.
Just like a flower, I will give it a try. As long as he does his best to help me, I will naturally not treat him badly."
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
"You, on the other hand, have been out there for a long enough time, so the jealous person at home will have a lot of complaints."
Di Renjie just smiled bitterly and did not refute.
"Although Chengsi's prime minister has been doing things much more smoothly recently, he is still a little impatient. Go and help him so that Master Di can deal with you in front of your jealous family."
"I thank the Lord for your kindness."
When the monarch and his ministers here decided the fate of several big families whose coughs could usually shock the world with just words, Li Chongrun was led by the little palace man through the layers of gardens and gardens.
Walking through the corridor, we came to a palace.
The palace is not big. It is more like a pavilion with four doors than a palace.
Under the pavilion is a stone flat, and a very clear stream passes through the pavilion. It flows through a very delicate nine-curved water channel carved on the stone flat, and a very subtle sound of water can be heard.
There were two people under the pavilion, playing the game of water drinking wine, accompanied by a crowd of palace attendants.
One of them, Li Chongrun, had already guessed that it must be Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping, who had previously attracted him. She was dressed in palace clothes and was drinking happily from a wine glass.
The other person didn't make Li Chongrun think of him.
Shangguan Wan'er, who usually appeared in men's clothing, rarely wore palace clothes and was looking at her with a motherly look.
"I've met Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I've met Shangguan Cairen."
