"Clang!"
A teacup fell to the ground.
It directly shattered into pieces, and the tea dregs scattered all over the ground.
The surrounding eunuchs and serving girls knelt down in fear.
They couldn't help but panic.
Just now.
The empress received an urgent letter from Yangzhou!
With just a glance, his dragon face was already furious!
Fortunately, this was the royal study, and only a few trusted ministers were still there.
"Your Majesty…What is this?"
Di Renjie frowned. What exactly happened?
Why was His Majesty so angry?
"Your Majesty, don't touch the dragon energy. You can let us share your worries.”
Lou Shide also took the initiative to share the burden.
"Three days ago!"
"Zhen had Shangguan Wan 'er secretly make a trip to Yangzhou!”
"Because I received news that there will be a rebellion in Yangzhou!”
Wu Zetian slammed the secret letter on the table!
"Bang!"
The volume of his voice represented Wu Zetian's thoughts.
"I didn't expect it to really happen!"
"Today, Wan 'er sent an urgent letter from eight hundred miles away.”
"Yangzhou's Chief Historian, Chen Jingzhi, has been captured and beheaded by Xue Zhongzhang, the Imperial Censor!”
"Li Jingye will be appointed as Yangzhou's chief historian!”
"The next step is to prepare for a mutiny!”
Wu Zetian's eyes narrowed and turned extremely cold. Her entire body was filled with killing intent.
Unexpectedly!
He really didn't expect this!
Su Yi's nonsense actually became a prophecy!
Everything was right.
There was really a rebellion in Yangzhou.
The person who rebelled was Li Jingye.
Xue Zhongzhang and Wei Siwen, the other Imperial Censor.
They were two good friends!
Even Chen Jingzhi being imprisoned and beheaded, and Li Jingye replacing Yangzhou's chief historian, were all right.
Who exactly was this Su Yi?
Back then, Wu Zetian felt that these words were extremely laughable.
Only now did he realize that he was the most laughable person?
However, it was worth rejoicing.
She was a cautious person, so she still held back.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"What is it? Rebellion?"
When Di Renjie heard this, he turned pale with fright.
This was a huge crime, and it would not be too much to exterminate nine families.
Li Jingye was Li Ji's grandson.
Why would he do that?
"Your Majesty! Are you sure you've investigated this matter?"
Lou Shide wiped his cold sweat and asked.
"What else is unclear?"
"Tomorrow, they will issue a criminal order! Make it public!"
Wu Zetian's eyes revealed a hint of killing intent.
Although she was young, Wu Zetian was already quite familiar with these matters.
"Xiao Qingfang! Bring me the Secretary of State, Zi Long!”
Wu Zetian shouted.
Immediately, the plum blossom inner guard, who was standing at the side, led the way.
Xiao Qingfang stepped forward.
This person's footsteps were steady, and his eyes were filled with indifference.
The plum blossom guards were Wu Zetian's most mysterious organization.
All of them were highly skilled and loyal.
A moment later, in the time it took to brew a cup of tea.
Pei Yan had already been brought to the royal study.
As soon as he entered, he immediately felt that the atmosphere was not right.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Pei Yan's eyes were uncertain as he cupped his hands and said.
"Zilong! If you dare to lie about what I'm going to ask you next, I'll kill your entire family!”
Wu Zetian said indifferently, but her pressure had already seeped out.
Pei Yan's expression changed and his pupils constricted.
This was…
It must have been exposed!
"Your Majesty, if you ask, I will tell you everything I know.”
Pei Yan nodded.
"Your nephew, Xue Zhongzhang! Are you suspected of rebellion in Yangzhou?"
Wu Zetian asked indifferently.
However, the more this was the case, the more oppressive the atmosphere became.
"Yes..."
Pei Yan wasn't stupid. Hearing this, he knew that Wu Zetian already knew everything.
"Then are you clear?"
Wu Zetian asked.
"Yes…"
Pei Yan had no intention of quibbling.
"Why didn't you stop it?" Wu Zetian.
"We can't stop them. They're already bent on doing things their own way.”
"As long as Your Majesty is willing, it can be resolved without expending a single soldier.”
Pei Yan took a deep breath, his eyes constantly changing.
"Tell me!" Wu Zetian.
"Return to politics!"
Pei Yan wasn't afraid to tell the truth. He was already old, and he had long seen life and death.
"Bang!"
"How dare you!"
"What political power!"
"Back then, the late Emperor Li Shimin's posthumous edict was to pass the throne to me!”
"And not Li Zhi!"
"And you Li Tang's imperial clan! He insisted that it was my fake edict!”
"Now you still want me to return the power?"
"Since you already know everything, why didn't you stop it? Then we'll just destroy them!"
"Men!"
Wu Zetian's eyes were indifferent as she stood up and waved her delicate hand!
"Yes!"
"Put Pei Yan in prison and kill him on a certain day!”Wu Zetian.
"Understood!"
In the next moment, Pei Yan was pushed out.
Pei Yan was already indifferent to life and death.
Wu Zetian must be preparing a posthumous edict!
No one in the Li Tang Imperial Clan believed that the previous Emperor Li Shimin would not pass the throne to Li Zhi!
Therefore, it was only a matter of time before they rebelled.
However, this matter was extremely confidential. How did His Majesty know?
In the royal study, the ministers were as silent as cicadas in winter.
Wu Zetian took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
The biggest problem now was how to deal with the declaration and the hundreds of thousands of rebels!
For a time, it would definitely alarm the people and the surrounding countries such as Tubo and Tuyuhun.
"Who can make me feel at ease…"
Su Yi's figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Qingfang, prepare food and clothing for zhen. zhen wants to leave the palace!”
Wu Zetian suddenly opened her phoenix eyes, a trace of anticipation flashing through them.
P.S. Fresh flowers please!! Yesterday, it was 11! I can still add it today! I hope those who like it will throw in all the free tickets.
