Yang Yi was stunned by her imposing manner and immediately said,"What report? The Imperial Court might not believe me. More importantly, the Tibetans are just testing the waters. Blacktooth is a professional in attacking the Turks. He's very stable and won't cause any problems.”
Wu Zetian gradually calmed down. He knew that Yang Yi was right. With his age and status, no one would believe him even if he reported it to the government.
Even Wu Zetian was skeptical. She smiled and said,"Thank you for your explanation, Langjun. I remember that I still have some things to do at home, so I'll take my leave first.”
Yang Yi smiled and took out a beautiful box from his pocket." Come back often when you have time. This is a small thing I bought from the Siamese people. I heard it's an overseas delicacy. You must have spent a lot of money coming to my place. I'm sorry, but please accept this."
Wu Zetian didn't take a closer look and gestured to Shangguan Wan 'er to leave.
Yang Yi weighed the money bag in his hand and felt that life was full of fun.
He gave Wu Zetian a box of chocolates that he had drawn from the system. He didn't like chocolates, so he gave it to Wu Zetian.
......
After leaving.
"Wan Er, send someone to investigate the situation at Heyuan. I want to know the results tomorrow," Wu Zetian said lightly.
" Yes," Shangguan Wan 'er said respectfully.
The next day.
Inside the Xuanzheng Hall.
Everyone in the hall argued endlessly.
While they were discussing whether or not they should marry, Shangguan Wan 'er quietly walked to Wu Zetian's side and whispered in her ear.
Wu Zetian's expression didn't change, but her eyes turned colder.
"Everyone…" she said indifferently.
The officials immediately quieted down.
He looked at the figure behind the bead curtain.
Li Zhi's body was weak, and he was suffering from wind disease. He rarely attended court, and Wu Zetian was the one who presided over the government.
Although she was a woman, she was extremely dignified.
Even if the people below were dissatisfied, they did not dare to say anything.
"BenGong doesn't agree to the marriage!" Wu Zetian said in a deep voice.”
"This…" Many people looked at each other.
These people were all in favor of the marriage alliance.
"Your Highness, this is no small matter. You can't make a decision lightly," said Zhang Liang, the Minister of Justice.
Wu Zetian said in a deep voice," The Tubo people have ulterior motives. BenGong has already found someone to investigate. The source of the river was harassed by the Tubo people. At this time, they still came to the marriage alliance. It can be seen that their intentions are not pure."”
" What?!" This news was like a bomb, causing the heads of the other ministers to buzz.
Pei Xingjian couldn't help but ask,"Is Your Majesty's words true?”
Wu Zetian glanced at the old general and said lightly,""BenGong's words are not false. Blacktooth Chang Zhi guards Heyuan and is your disciple. You will know once you ask."
Pei Xingjian's graying eyebrows furrowed before relaxing. He held both the civil and military positions, both the General of Inspection and the Minister of Rites. He muttered,""It's not that this old minister doesn't trust the Empress, it's just that this matter is of great importance, what does Your Majesty think?”
Wu Zetian's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness, and then she said lightly,"Your Majesty agrees with me."
The voices below fell silent.
Xu Jingzong stroked his beard." Your Majesty, Tubo and the Great Tang are still in-laws on the surface. If you directly refuse, I'm afraid it'll leave people talking."”
Wu Zetian nodded,"BenGong has already thought of letting Taiping become a monk. What other reason can those Tubo people have?"”
Xu Jingzong was stunned for a moment before he said,"Your Majesty, you're wise!"”
When Pei Xingjian saw Wu Zetian say this, he knew that she had made up her mind and did not say anything more.
He was prepared to go back and write a letter to his student to verify it.
At the same time, he was also a little shocked by how Wu Zetian predicted the enemy from thousands of miles away.
Many officials also thought of this and looked at the high and mighty Empress in awe.
In the bedroom.
A figure crept in stealthily. She was wearing an apricot palace dress. Her long hair was tied up in a bun, and it was black and shiny. Her forehead was covered in yellow, and her cheeks were covered in flowers. Her makeup was exquisite, and her eyes were lively.
She first looked into the room as if to see if there was anyone there. Then, she patted her chest and felt relieved when she saw that there was no one there.
The woman pursed her lips and said," I don't know what Mother has been busy with these past few days. She's so mysterious that she doesn't have time to accompany me."”
She glanced at the table and saw an exquisite box.
She was quite curious. She walked over and opened the box. There were some strange things inside, with a faint strange fragrance.
This woman was very knowledgeable, but she had never seen such a strange thing. She could only tell that it was a pastry.
She couldn't help but take a bite.
A strange taste burst out from her mouth, causing her heart to tremble.
Taiping, what are you doing?" A gentle yet dignified voice sounded.
The woman's hand trembled and the chocolate in her hand fell to the ground.
