"I am reporting to the Empress of Heaven that I do not dare to jump to conclusions about this matter. Therefore, I believe that this matter should be thoroughly investigated." Du Shenyan and Wang Bo immediately leaned over and answered after listening to Empress Wu's question.
After finishing speaking, Wang Bo also bowed to Empress Wu and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven, I recommend Di Renjie, the young minister of Dali. Di Renjie has always been fair and strict, and the truth can be found out in all cases he has tried. I believe that as long as I send Di Renjie
If we go to investigate, we will be able to find out the truth and find out the real culprit behind the scenes."
"This." Empress Wu naturally knew what kind of person Di Renjie was. If he tried the case, he would definitely investigate and find out that she was the mastermind behind it. By then, she would not know how to deal with it.
"It's all because of this idiot Liu Deqiang. There are so many masters but they can't kill a prince, which has led to me facing such an embarrassing situation today. This guy really deserves to die!"
Empress Wu was thinking urgently in her heart, while supporting Wang Bo and others. She was not sure what to do, but suddenly she saw Shangguan Wan'er beside her bowing and saying: "The Queen of Heaven, I have something to say."
"Oh? I wonder if Wan'er has any suggestions?" Empress Wu knew that Shangguan Wan'er was her confidant, and this time she spoke out to help her. She couldn't help but look at Shangguan Wan'er with approval, and then asked with a smile.
I saw Shangguan Wan'er smiling and saying: "The Queen of Heaven, I think it is inappropriate for Di Shaoqing to hear this matter. After all, Liu Deqiang is a chamberlain. It would be illegal to let the courtiers come to the inner court to hear the matter, and it is not allowed."
It is conducive to the stability of the inner court, so Wei Chen believes that the matter should be heard by officials dispatched by the inner court."
"Well, Wan'er's words are exactly what I want. How can foreign ministers be allowed to enter the inner court without permission? This matter can be heard by the officials of the inner court. Wan'er has always been quite insightful and smart, so I will leave this matter to you.
I'll let you go to trial."
Empress Wu looked at Shangguan Wan'er who was rescuing her, and said with satisfaction.
"Here, are the ministers a little too junior?" Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment, looking a little embarrassed.
Empress Wu couldn't help laughing when she heard this, because Shangguan Wan'er didn't say that she was incompetent, but that her qualifications were too junior, which proved that the other party had concerns, so she nodded and said: "Wan'er, you don't have to worry about this, since you are going to try the case
, naturally, he is the plenipotentiary representative of this palace. No matter what rank he is, no matter what status he is, he can judge at will. Are you satisfied with this, Wan'er?"
"In this case, how dare I disobey my order? I must do my best to track down the real culprit behind the scenes, and give an explanation to Your Majesty, the Queen, His Royal Highness, and all the ministers." Shangguan Wan'er raised her hand to Empress Wu,
Then he said solemnly.
"Okay, that being the case, it's settled. Shangguan Wan'er will be the presiding judge, responsible for hearing the case of colluding with the internal servant Liu Deqiang in the palace to assassinate the prince and destroy the foundation of our country. I intend to give you half a month. Be sure to
If the mastermind of this case is found out, no matter who he is, I will definitely punish the mastermind at that time, give everyone an explanation, and withdraw from the court."
Empress Wu immediately settled the matter without waiting for any reaction from the ministers, and then decisively announced her withdrawal from the court. The ministers immediately looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and had no choice but to acquiesce to such a result.
After all, Gaozong's condition is now serious, and the prince is away on an expedition. Empress Wu has the final say in all matters. If a foreign minister is chosen to hear the case, he will not only have to travel back and forth in the palace, causing uneasiness, but also constantly report to Empress Wu.
Naturally, it is not as convenient as the officials of the inner court, so even though they have a thousand reasons, they are unable to refute this inappropriate point raised by Shangguan Wan'er. Therefore, Shangguan Wan'er's move can be said to have made a huge difference, which is extremely mysterious.
After settling the matter, Shangguan Wan'er also started a non-stop investigation. After a series of investigations, Shangguan Wan'er took advantage of it, carefully arranged the deployment, and finally targeted Shang Gong, Dugu, who was beside Empress Wu.
Ruoxue.
"Are you sure that this was Dugu Ruoxue's doing?" After hearing the shocking news reported by Shangguan Wan'er, Empress Wu couldn't help but frown, and then asked in a deep voice.
"Not sure." Shangguan Wan'er replied calmly.
"Hmph, since you are not sure, why do you want to target my people? Who gave you the courage to do this?" Empress Wu's face became even more gloomy and she said coldly.
"The Queen gave me the courage to do this." Shangguan Wan'er was not afraid and remained extremely calm.
"What are you talking about? You are so brave! Do you think that because I love you, I won't punish you?" Empress Wu glared and shouted sternly.
But Shangguan Wan'er said calmly: "The Empress of Heaven is so beautiful, this Dugu Ruoxue is just a fifth-rank official, but on weekdays, relying on the favor of the Empress of Heaven, she has her eyes above the top and is arrogant. Even the prime ministers are reprimanded by her for no reason."
, which made the prime ministers dare not speak out. In addition, the Dugu Shanggong also accepted bribes and asked for property from the palace maids and chamberlains. Otherwise, he would try to frame them and commit crimes. However, he was only punished by being punished.
Hundreds of people were beaten to death for no reason. It can be said that people were full of resentment. All the maids and chambermaids dared to be angry but dared not speak out. And this was not the biggest reason. The biggest reason was that one day she drank too much and actually said something to her.
Several of the accompanying maids said that the Queen treated her differently from others. In order to show that the Queen was very affectionate to her, she once mentioned that the Korean lady and her daughter were executed on the order of the Queen as a filial piety to the emperor. How could she behave like this?
Nonsense, if this spreads out, what's the point? Therefore, Wan'er, for the sake of the queen, thinks that this person should not be allowed to talk nonsense anymore, so she takes it upon herself to set up the mastermind of the assassination of the prince to her.
on the head."
"Huh? Did she really say that?" When Empress Wu heard this, a murderous look flashed in her eyes, and then she asked slowly.
"It's absolutely true. No matter how brave I am, I don't dare to deceive the Queen of Heaven. At that time, many maids in the Yeting Palace heard about it. I can ask them to testify. If there is even half a word of lies, I will tell you
My servant will be struck by lightning from the sky and will not die a good death."
The little maids in Yeting were all arranged by Li Xian, and now they are completely under Shangguan Wan'er's control. They can do whatever they say. Now it is very easy for them to frame Dugu Ruoxue with one voice.
However, the poisonous oath Shangguan Wan'er swore was also out of sincerity, because she would never tell a lie, and even if she did, there would be at least hundreds of lies.
How did Empress Wu know the meaning of Shangguan Wan'er's words? She thought that Shangguan Wan'er was telling the truth, so she pondered for a moment and said: "This girl Dugu Ruoxue is usually arrogant and domineering. It's not that I don't know. I just look at her."
She was respectful and honest and didn't argue with her, but I didn't expect this bitch to be so ignorant. But what evidence do you have to prove that she had colluded with Liu Dequan?" (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
