"Okay, that's it." Although Gaozong had always been cowardly and indecisive, now that his life and status were threatened, he couldn't help but make up his mind to deal with the matter properly.
Emperor Gaozong gave Wang Fusheng the task of dealing with Guo Xingzhen, and at the same time ordered Wang Fusheng to find a reliable person to summon Shangguan Yi with his secret decree.
After receiving Gaozong's order, Wang Fusheng did not dare to neglect, and immediately hurried out of the study room, looked around, and waved to find a young eunuch.
"Wang Chunlei, how do you treat me as a father?" Wang Fusheng called the young eunuch to him and asked with a serious face.
"My lord has always treated me as my own son. I wish I could go through fire and water for you, no matter what." Although Wang Chunlei is a relatively low-ranking eunuch, because he is Wang Fusheng's godson, he has always been highly regarded among the eunuchs.
At a glance, he naturally knew that his status came from this godfather, so he felt it in his heart and was loyal to Wang Fusheng.
"Now you have an opportunity to help your father, but this time you have to take a lot of risks. I wonder if my son is willing to do it?"
"Where do you start talking about this, sir? Your son's life belongs to you, let alone taking some risks?" Wang Chunlei said with great excitement.
"Okay, it's a good thing that my father has cultivated me for many years. My father has a secret decree here. With this secret decree, my son quickly went to Nanya to summon Shangguan Yi, the assistant minister of Xitai, and ordered him to go to the study room to see the Holy Master."
After finishing speaking, Wang Fusheng took out a secret decree from his arms and stuffed it into Wang Chunlei's arms.
"No." Wang Chunlei agreed without any hesitation, put the secret decree in his arms, and then left immediately with his words.
But what Wang Fusheng didn't expect was that Wang Chunlei walked not far before he turned into a side hall, clapped his hands gently, and a moment later, he saw a maid coming out of the side hall.
"Hey, Xia'er, I miss our family so much. Come on, give me a kiss." Wang Chunlei chuckled, and then rushed towards the maid.
Unexpectedly, Xia'er dodged lightly, and then hummed lightly: "You are so heartless. If you don't come to see me for several days, could it be that you have a new love?"
When Wang Chunlei heard this, he immediately swore: "I, Wang Chunlei, will only be kind to Miss Xia'er in my life. I will never have any second thoughts. If I have any second thoughts, I will be struck by thunder. I won't come to see you for a few days, just because
The police have been keeping a close eye on me these past few days, and I am not allowed to leave even for a moment. I am able to come here this time only because my adoptive father ordered me to deliver the secret edict to Mr. Shangguan."
"Secret edict? Why did Your Majesty send the secret edict in the clear sky? What happened?"
"I don't know about this either. My adoptive father didn't explain it to me."
"Hey, sir, you keep saying how your adoptive father treats you. Why did you not even tell me what happened when you issued the edict today? According to my concubine, your loyalty to him is really in vain."
Wang Chunlei was startled when he heard this, then shook his head and said: "My adoptive father has always treated me as his own child. I guess it must be because the matter is urgent and it is confidential, so it is not convenient to explain it to me, right?"
But I saw that Xia'er didn't take it seriously, and just laughed and said: "It's such a secret matter? Even Lang Jun, the adopted son, is inconvenient to tell me? In my opinion, Lang Jun must have done something to make him unhappy.
So that Mr. Wang no longer wants to see Yu Langjun. Even if things are not as I imagined, just talking about the secret edict sent by Lang Jun today, in the future everyone will know that Lang Jun was ordered to deliver the edict, but he has no idea about the edict.
Now that you know what you know, Lang Jun, let’s think about it. How should everyone think of Lang Jun? Will anyone still give Lang Jun a gift of money and silk? That’s all, he is Lang Jun’s adoptive father, and Lang Jun is willing to be deceived by others.
What does Lang Jun's matter have to do with me? Lang Jun, please go to Shangguan Xianggong's office to declare the decree quickly, so as not to miss important events."
Wang Chunlei was so squeezed by the other party that he couldn't lose his face immediately, and then asked: "What should I do? Good Xia'er, you usually have the most ideas, help me think of a way, my wife also knows that my financial resources will be
This is your source of wealth. If no one gives me the property, wouldn’t my wife be short of a lot of money?"
"Huh, I'm really afraid of Mr. Lang. In fact, it's not difficult. Mr. Lang only needs to open the secret edict and take a look at it quietly, and he will know the contents. If people ask in the future, wouldn't he be able to explain it clearly? How will everyone know?
After Lang Jun read the secret decree, he just thought that Lang Jun was still loved by his adoptive father, and his wealth would naturally not be cut off." Na Xia'er rolled her eyes at Wang Chunlei angrily, as if she was laughing at him for not being able to even think of such a simple idea.
out.
Wang Chunlei naturally understood the ridicule in the other person's words, but he also had his own difficulties. He sighed softly: "It's not that I can't think of this idea, but the problem is that I can't read, so what if I open it?"
"So that's it. I ignored this point, but Mr. Lang didn't know anything about it. In fact, I am proficient in writing and may be able to clear up Mr. Lang's confusion..."
"Is that true?" Wang Chunlei was immediately overjoyed when he heard this. He hugged Xia'er and kissed her hard, and then said, "Madam is indeed my lucky star. If so, Madam, please help me take a look."
As Wang Chunlei spoke, he gently unfolded the secret edict, let Xia'er read it once, and then carefully put it away.
"What is the content of His Majesty's secret edict?" Seeing the other party's silence, Wang Chunlei asked quickly.
"Haha, it's not a big deal. It's just that your majesty and Mr. Shangguan are discussing the appointment and dismissal of several officials in the imperial court. But this is the emperor's order after all. I'm afraid your majesty will be impatient. Don't delay any more, and send the secret edict to him as soon as possible.
Sir, sir." Na Xia'er smiled, gently broke away from Wang Chunlei's arm, and said softly.
"Yes, yes, yes, I am not reminding you. I am afraid that I will miss the Holy Lord's business. Haha, I will wait for a few days with peace of mind. As soon as my husband is free, I will come to see you."
After saying that, Wang Chunlei kissed Xia'er again, then turned and left.
After Wang Chunlei left, Xia'er's face clearly showed some anxiety. She ran all the way back to Empress Wu's palace, and then hurriedly reported back: "Empress, something serious has happened."
Empress Wu saw Xia'er looking flustered, and quickly dismissed her attendants, asking, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Reporting back to the empress, I have received a secret report. The Holy Master heard from somewhere that the empress recruited Taoist priests into the palace to practice the art of losing victory. Therefore, he secretly summoned Shangguan Yi, the minister of the West Palace, to the study room to discuss the matter of dealing with the empress. Please make a decision quickly.
.”
"Huh? Is this happening? I understand, Xia'er, thank you for your hard work." After Empress Wu finished speaking, she ordered Xia'er to step aside first, and then ordered her to go to the study.
At this moment, a Taoist boy suddenly ran over and cried to Empress Wu: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Not long ago, a husband and dozens of guards suddenly surrounded the master's residence. He couldn't help but say
Then he killed the master."
"What are you talking about?" Empress Wu was shocked when she heard this, and then said angrily: "Which servant dares to be so bold and kill people in the palace without authorization? Is it because he wants to rebel?"
Then the Taoist boy choked and said: "The husband called himself Wang Fusheng and said that he was under the emperor's orders, so the master did not dare to resist and lost his life in vain..."
"Wang Fusheng, what a Wang Fusheng, you have such a big courage as a dog, you and I will wait and see, if I don't kill you, this dog slave, I will write the word '武' upside down!" Empress Wu said naturally after hearing the news.
She was shocked and angry, but she also knew that now was not the time to get angry. She had to rush to the emperor's study first and destroy the affair between the emperor and Shangguan Yi. Otherwise, she would really be doomed.
Therefore, Empress Wu did not dare to delay at all and immediately ordered the emperor to go to the study.
Go to the study room.
"I see you, Your Majesty, Shangguan Yi." Since receiving the secret edict, Shangguan Yi hurried to the study room without even drinking a sip of water. When he arrived, he saw Gaozong walking around nervously, and he immediately
Feeling the pride of a scholar dying for his bosom friend, he immediately stepped forward, bowed and saluted.
"Ai Qing, please come to your senses." Gaozong quickly supported Shangguan Yi, then sighed and said with tears: "Shangguan Ai Qing should know this. Alas, it is because of my lack of virtue and incompetence that someone unexpectedly appeared in the palace.
In this matter, I, the Empress Wu, colluded with Taoist priests to use the trick of hating victory to harm me. In my opinion, since the Empress is so eager to seek a big position, it would be better for me to be more generous and simply give up the world to the Empress.
I am also very quiet and peaceful."
Shangguan Yi was shocked when he heard this, and quickly raised his hands and said: "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Our Tang Dynasty was created by Emperor Gaozong Taizong with swords and spears. How can we hand it over to others? What's more, he is the same person.
A mere woman? Besides, I am worried about the humiliation of my ministers. The court is not filled with treacherous and sycophantic people like Xu Jingzong. There are still loyal and good people like my ministers. How can I see your majesty in trouble and remain indifferent?"
After hearing Zhongliang's words, Emperor Gaozong felt a little at peace, and asked: "In this case, dear sir, please tell me, how should this matter be handled?"
But I heard Shangguan Yi say with emotion: "There is no other way. All we need to do is get rid of Empress Wu."
"Ah?" Even though he had already expected it, Gaozong was still a little surprised when he actually heard what Shangguan Yi said.
But Shangguan Yi sighed softly: "In fact, Your Majesty should not have appointed this Wu family in the first place. After all, she is a daughter of a small family. She is narrow-minded and ambitious. How can she be as virtuous and virtuous as a woman from a rich family? It is a pity that Your Majesty did not appoint her to the Wu family in the first place.
Being deceived by a woman, I mistakenly killed Zhongliang, which led to what happened today."
"But I and Mei Niang have been married for more than ten years, and now we have to part with each other. After all, I can't bear it..."
"Has Your Majesty ever heard the prophecy that after three generations of the Tang Dynasty, the heroine Wu Wang will have the world? Now, Your Majesty, there are three generations, and the Wu family is very ambitious. It is obvious. Isn't Your Majesty afraid that once Your Majesty does something great, the world will become a warrior?
Did he steal it? How would your Majesty face Gaozu and Taizong when he was in heaven?" Shangguan Yi looked at Gao Zong angrily and said loudly.
"Ai Qing, please draft an edict now." Gaozong looked at Shangguan Yi who was in a rage, and suddenly lost his sense of proportion and said dejectedly. This chapter has been completed!
