The sun rose from the east, and the morning sun was like fire.
In the Phoenix Hall of the Great Tang Empire.
The civil and military officials stood on both sides, quietly waiting for the court session to arrive.
After waiting for an unknown period of time, the sound of footsteps came from the nine-story high platform.
Wu Zetian was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe. She walked out from behind the screen and swept her gaze around.
The officials immediately said in unison," Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"
Wu Zetian sat on the dragon throne and raised her hand."Dear ministers, please rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The officials shouted again and returned to their positions.
The eunuch on duty stood up at the right time and shouted,""Sometimes I go out early to report, and when there's nothing to do, I close the curtains and retreat.”
"Your Majesty, I have something to report.”
An assistant minister stepped out from the ranks and said respectfully.
"Go ahead."
Wu Zetian replied indifferently.
After the assistant minister finished reporting, a few censors and ministers walked out and reported the government affairs.
Wu Zetian replied one by one. Everything was filled with peace.
In less than two hours, all the political affairs were handled.
Just as the civil and military officials were thinking about what to eat at home, Wu Zetian said,
"Do you really have nothing else to report? Don't report the good news and not the bad news."
Many of the officials could tell that something was wrong, but they couldn't understand Wu Zetian's meaning.
Prime Minister Lou Shide stepped forward and said," This is all thanks to Your Majesty's benevolent governance. All the people in the world are bathed in the holy light and dare not cause trouble.”
"If that's really the case, are you all just sitting around, or are you harboring evil intentions and not reporting?”
Wu Zetian said sternly.
"Whoosh!"
All the officials knelt on the ground and said in unison,""We dare not."
Right at this moment, a soldier dressed in blood rushed into the hall and knelt on the ground. He said in a powerful voice,"
"Your Majesty, good news from the front line!"
"Under His Majesty's orders, General Li Xiaoyi led an army of 100,000 soldiers to attack Yangzhou overnight.”
"Because Your Majesty predicted the enemy's advance, the rebel army was completely unprepared and successfully broke through the city in an hour.”
"Li Jingye and his accomplices have been captured and await Your Majesty's punishment.”
"After investigation, Li Jingye, Wei Siwen, and the other rebels recruited more than 20,000 bandits and distributed armor. The evidence of the rebellion is irrefutable.”
"In addition, I found a document slandering Your Majesty on the traitor Luo Binwang. I have been specially ordered to present it to Your Majesty.”
This order was magnificent and reverberated throughout the entire Phoenix Edict Hall.
The ministers were stunned at first, then they looked up at Wu Zetian in shock.
What was going on?
Yangzhou rebellion?
Li Jingye rebelled?
Recruiting 20,000 bandits and occupying Yangzhou City?
This was undoubtedly a shocking event, but they did not even hear a single word of it.
But what surprised them even more was that Wu Zetian actually knew.
Moreover, Wu Zetian had directly mobilized the border troops to Yangzhou to suppress them without communicating with them, catching Li Jingye off guard.
This rebellion, which should have affected the entire Great Tang and led to a series of changes, was quelled overnight.
Everything was unbelievable, but it really happened.
For a moment, many officials looked at Wu Zetian with reverence.
"Did you hear that?"
"Is this the rule of the world that you all speak of?”
"If I hadn't received the approval of the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets and pointed out the disaster for me, I don't know what kind of disaster it would have caused!”
On the high platform, Wu Zetian said with a livid expression.
"Tower Master Tianji?"
When the officials heard this, they all looked enlightened.
Although they had never been to the Heaven's Secret Tower, they had also heard of the mystery and power of the Heaven's Secret Tower.
He didn't expect Wu Zetian to receive guidance from the Tower Master of Heavenly Secrets.
This made many ministers with ulterior motives feel a little terrified.
If the Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion knew about the rebellion in Yangzhou, wouldn't it be easier for their thoughts to be exposed?
Wu Zetian deliberately mentioned the Heaven's Secret Tower in order to intimidate the little ones.
Seeing the ministers 'expressions changing, Wu Zetian couldn't help but feel pleased.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
The eunuch on duty handed the document to Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian took a look and saw that the title was "For Li Jingye to ask for Wu Zhao's letter", which listed all her evil deeds.
Luo Bin Wang was known for his literary talent, and this essay was written in an extremely brilliant manner.
"The Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is a true immortal god. He can even predict this.”
After Wu Zetian finished reading the document, she was even more respectful towards Feng Chen. At the same time, she was also filled with joy.
If it weren't for the Heaven's Secret Tower's criticism, this document would have already spread to every household in the Great Tang.
At that time, even if the rebellion was quelled, her reputation would plummet.
"It seems that if I want to sit on the throne, I have to build a good relationship with the Tower Master of Heavenly Secrets.”
Wu Zetian thought to herself.
After the court session ended, Wu Zetian returned to Phoenix Rites Hall.
Shangguan Wan 'er was already waiting there. When she saw Wu Zetian, she immediately bowed and said,"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"No need for formalities." Wu Zetian smiled.
Shangguan Wan 'er blinked and said,""Your Majesty seems to be in a good mood.”
"Of course!"
"You weren't at the court meeting today. The faces of those ministers were like magic, red and green at one moment.”
"Ever since I ascended the throne, I have never had such a carefree day.”
"Presumably, after this beating, those ministers will be well-behaved for a while.”
Wu Zetian treated Shangguan Wan 'er as one of her own, so she spoke without any scruples.
"Then I must congratulate Your Majesty."
"With the intimidation of the Tower Master of Heavenly Secrets, in the future, those ministers will have to think twice before they want to play any tricks.”
Shangguan Wan 'er said with a smile.
"Therefore, the greatest contributor to quelling the rebellion this time is the Tower Master of Heavenly Secrets.”
"Wan Er, how do you think I should thank the Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion?”
Wu Zetian said with some confusion.
"The Tower Master of Heavenly Secrets is an immortal. I'm afraid there's no treasure in the world that can enter his eyes.”
"But the last time Wan 'er went to the Heaven's Secret Tower, she always felt that the Heaven's Secret Tower was a little monotonous.”
"If singing and dancing were to liven things up, it should be even livelier.”
Shangguan Wan 'er expressed her opinion.
Wu Zetian's eyes lit up," You mean, send some dancers to Heaven's Secret Tower?”
"In other aspects, Wan 'er doesn't dare to boast.”
"But speaking of singing and dancing, our Tang Empire's singing and dancing are world-renowned and incomparable to other empires.”
"Especially the dancers of the Imperial Education Department. Any one of them can shock the six countries.”
Shangguan Wan 'er said confidently.
Wu Zetian couldn't help but nod. This was exactly the gift she wanted to give.
"Wan 'er, I'll leave this matter to you.”
"You must choose the best dancers in the Education Department.”
"If you can satisfy the Master of Heavenly Secret Tower, I will remember your great merit.”
Wu Zetian said solemnly.
Shangguan Wan 'er said," Wan' er will do as you say. I will definitely personally send the chosen dancers to the Heaven's Secret Tower. I guarantee that the Heaven's Secret Tower Master will be satisfied."”
……
At the same time, at the foot of Mount Kunlun in the Daming Empire.
Yang Xiao, Yin Tian Zheng, Zhou Dian, and the others stood up and looked at the mountain.
Behind them, 200,000 Ming Cult members were lined up in dozens of rows. They were disciplined like an army.
"Sou!"
The sound of air being torn apart rang out, and the Green-Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao's figure appeared.
"Left Emissary Yang, you won."
"There are countless broken cliffs in Mount Kunlun.”
"Wanting to find Cult Master Zhang in this vast valley is harder than finding a needle in a haystack.”
"The human wave tactic you mentioned is still more reliable.”
Wei Yixiao said while panting.
In order to find Zhang Wuji in the valley these two days, he almost broke his legs.
In the end, he had to admit that he would never be able to find Zhang Wuji with his own strength.
Yang Xiao laughed out loud." It's good that you know. Now that the 200,000 disciples have gathered, I'll have to ask you to lead the way."”
"Wait a minute."
"Before looking for the Cult Master, shouldn't we make a trip to Zhuwu Lianhuan Village?”
"According to the criticism given by the Master of Heavenly Secret Tower, the people of Zhuwu Lianhuan Village are all sinister and vicious people who have harmed the Sect Master several times.”
"Cult Master is kind-hearted and won't argue with them, but as a grandfather, I can't sit idly by!”
The White-Browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng said coldly.
These words reminded everyone.
In the letter given by the Master of Tianji Tower, Zhang Wuji's encounters in Zhuwu Lianhuan Village were recorded, which made people furious.
"Eagle King is right. The people of Zhuwu Lianhuan Village almost killed the sect master, they should be taught a lesson.”
"Let's go to Zhuwu Lianhuan Village first!"
Yang Xiao narrowed his eyes and made his decision.
