The next day.
In the Imperial Palace.
Wu Zetian was reading memorials while Li Zhi was resting in Hanyuan Hall.
At this moment, she could only do it for him, although she was already used to reading memorials.
She was even a little fascinated by the feeling of being in power. Occasionally, some rebellious thoughts would flash through her mind.
However, she was still a woman. If it weren't for Li Zhi, it was hard to say whether the ministers would be willing to listen to her.
Although she had already suppressed a group and won over another group, the power of the civil servants was still huge. Even the current Prime Minister Xu Jingzong, who was her lackey, could not change this fact.
This was because the pillar of the Zhangsun Clan was still standing. The Zhangsun Clan was still a powerful aristocratic family. Although Zhangsun Wuji no longer had an official position, if this old man stood up, no one could ignore him.
The door of the hall slowly opened, and Taiping walked in stealthily. She hid her skirt, afraid to make a sound.
When he was still a dozen steps away from Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian didn't even raise her head and lightly said,"Little Taiping, what are you doing here again?”
Taiping stuck out his tongue." You've discovered Mother again!"”
He didn't know why, but even when he was focused on reading the memorials, his mother's hearing was still sharp. Basically, every time she walked this distance, she would be discovered!
She skipped over to the dragon table." Mother, you're reading the memorial again. Are you tired? Why don't I help you massage your shoulders?"
Wu Zetian, who was lying in front of the dragon table, sneered,"When did my Little Taiping become so caring? This was really rare! You don't come to the temple without a reason. Did you make a big mistake?”
Taiping pouted and walked around the dragon table. She walked to Wu Zetian and snuggled into her arms,""Mother, you're laughing at me again. I don't look so materialistic!”
Wu Zetian smiled and said,"Yes, Little Taiping is the most filial!"”
Taiping stuck out his tongue." Of course, I'm Empress Mother's considerate little cotton-padded jacket."
Wu Zetian looked at her obedient daughter and suddenly said,"It's because of Xue Shao's matter, right?"
Taiping was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said," Nothing can be hidden from Mother. Xue Shao actually dared to rob people on the streets and even wanted to kill people. He was so impudent and had no regard for the law. My son thought that even if he didn't kill him, he would be locked up in prison for eight to ten years. Otherwise, how could the people know that the emperor was guilty of breaking the law as well as the common people?!”
Wu Zetian glanced at her," You girl, your heart is really ruthless. This Xue Shao is your cousin, but for your lover, you don't want your own relatives?”
"What lover? I'm just..." They felt that such a person needed to be severely punished. Otherwise, if he was released to endanger the people, wouldn't it lose the dignity of the imperial court? Xue Shao was really bold and reckless. If he was released safely this time, there might be more trouble in the future.”
Wu Zetian raised her eyebrows," That Aunt Chengyang of yours has quite a few tricks up her sleeves. She went straight to Zhangsun Wuji for help. Look…"
Taiping glanced at the memorial at the side. It was Zhangsun Wuji's signature.
She frowned and said,"Grandpa really doesn't know what's right and wrong…"
Wu Zetian's lips curled up," Your granduncle and your Aunt Chengyang are family, of course they'll be biased." I'm afraid it's a little difficult to punish Xue Shao."
"Ah?" "Mother, what should we do?" Taiping asked.”
Wu Zetian said meaningfully,"It doesn't matter. No matter what, we're in the right. It's not a problem to detain him for a few more days."”
She was actually quite angry in her heart. Xue Shao drew his sword in anger on the street. If she hadn't happened to be there and asked her subordinates to stop him, the consequences would be unimaginable. If she didn't teach him a lesson, the anger in her heart would be difficult to calm down.
Moreover, Zhangsun Wuji kept testing her, so Wu Zetian was already a little angry.
Various thoughts flashed through Wu Zetian's mind, but she remained calm on the surface. She glanced at Taiping and suddenly said,""Eh, what's that on your head?"
.....
In the prison.
Xue Shao lay on the weeds, his heart filled with resentment. Not only Yang Yi, but also Taiping, and even Wu Zetian began to resent him.
Although he was locked up, he was not allowed to visit the prison. Princess Chengyang told him that because Empress Wu acted arbitrarily, he was afraid that he would have to wait a while before he could get out!
"Yang Yi!" Xue Shao's eyes were red as he muttered.”
