Everyone was shocked.
Di Renjie recognized Su Yang. He was shocked. He never expected that the one who saved him at the last moment was actually the grandson of General Su Dingfang.
Li Yuanfang was also extremely shocked. He thought that Su Yang's speed just now was amazing. He was actually faster than himself.
Lee Yuan Fang had already flashed out. With his speed, he could have saved the driver successfully. However, what Lee Yuan Fang did not expect was that Su Yang was even faster than him. It was simply terrifying.
After Wu Zetian stabilized her face, she flew into a rage.
"Behead these two bold traitors immediately, cut them into pieces, and throw their corpses into the wild to feed the wolves!”Wu Zetian ordered.
"Yes, sir!" In an instant, the Thousand Bull Guards brought the two assassins away for interrogation.
"Li Changhe!"
Wu Zetian glanced at him, and in an instant, she wanted to punish him.
Li Changhe, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, knelt on the ground, his entire body trembling as he said,""I…I'm here!"
Wu Zetian said angrily," How dare you, Li Changhe! How dare you allow the murderer who tried to assassinate me to enter the palace? This is preposterous! Is this how the Ministry of War screens the candidates?"”
"Come on, push Li Changhe out and behead him!”
Wu Zetian was furious.
Li Changhe was so scared that he almost peed his pants." Your…Your Majesty, please spare my life. I failed in my duty. I never expected that these two people would actually…actually…"
Wu Zetian raised her hand." Alright, don't say anymore. Ha, dereliction of duty? I almost lost my life in the hands of these two thieves. It's really ridiculous!"
"Your…Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Li Changhe was scared out of his wits.
At this moment, Di Renjie quickly stood up and said,""Your Majesty, the incident happened so suddenly that no one expected it to develop like this. Lord Li has a good reputation in the Ministry of Justice and has worked hard without complaint. He is indeed guilty of dereliction of duty, but please consider his hard work and spare his life.”
Zhang Jianzhi went out to agree.”
Hearing this, Wu Zetian coldly said,"Humph, echo each other."”
Many ministers also stood up to plead for Li Changhe.
At this moment, Wu Zetian's anger had dissipated a lot. She paused and said,"Li Changhe, if not for the ministers pleading for you today, you would have been beheaded long ago. Alright, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Changhe stood up shakily.
"Immediately investigate this matter thoroughly. Three days later, I need an explanation.”Wu Zetian said.
"Yes, I will." Li Changhe hurriedly replied.”
After the interrogation, Wu Zetian's anger dissipated. She turned her gaze to Su Yang, who was standing in the middle.
"This child looks familiar."”
Zhang Jianzhi said," Your Majesty, this is Su Yang, the son of Su Qingjie, the Commandery Duke of Zhangwu. Last year, he even showed off his skills in the martial arts competition. Do you still remember, Your Majesty?"”
Hearing this, Wu Zetian suddenly said,"I remember now, so it's General Su Dingfang's grandson!"”
"Su Yang, come forward and answer!" Wu Zetian raised her hand.
Su Yang walked over and cupped his hands."Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Wu Zetian was delighted." Indeed, heroes come from young people. You are indeed a man of the Su family. You have the bearing of your grandfather."”
"You have extraordinary courage and courage."
"Just now, you saved the emperor and opened my eyes.”
"Last year's martial arts examination, I saw that you were a good seedling. Today, I saw that I didn't misjudge you. Good, very good!”
Wu Zetian's words revealed her admiration for Su Yang.
Wu Sansi took the opportunity to say,""Yes. Old General Su is the most courageous man in the army and has made great contributions to the Imperium. Although he has passed away for many years, his grandson is still very stunning. He has completely inherited the extraordinary bravery of Old General Su.”
Wu Zetian nodded and smiled.
When Su Yang heard Wu Sansi's words, he only wanted to laugh. This Wu Sansi was not a good person.
"Su Yang, tell me, you have saved the emperor this time. How should I reward you?" Wu Zetian asked.”
When Su Yang heard this, he thought to himself that Empress Wu Zetian was suspicious and decisive. She was not to be trifled with.
It wasn't easy to have a good relationship with her.
Only Di Renjie, who was extremely talented in politics, could deal with Wu Zetian.
After a pause, Su Yang said," Your Majesty, saving Your Majesty is my duty. I don't dare to ask for a reward. Just now, the Royal Forest Guards protected Your Majesty and stopped the assassin's attack in time. They were all seriously injured. Your Majesty should reward them and allow the imperial physician to treat their injuries."”
Hearing this, the crowd immediately started a heated discussion.
Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang exchanged glances and smiled. It had to be said that Su Yang had a high EQ.
When Wu Zetian heard this, he felt very comfortable. He admired Su Yang more and more.
"What a good son of the Su family. Since that's the case, I'll confer you the title of Zhaowu Lieutenant. You have to perform well and not let down my expectations of you.”
Wu Zetian said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Yang kowtowed.”
Su Yang did not expect that the Empress was indeed forthright. She had saved his life and directly conferred him the rank of a sixth-grade lieutenant. This was already very good.
The other three generations of young masters in Luoyang, such as Cheng Yaojin's grandson, Qin Qiong's grandson, and so on, did not receive such treatment.
Therefore, Su Yang was suddenly promoted by Empress Wu Zetian.
When he returned to the Su residence, the moment Su Yang entered, Su Qingjie sat in front of the hall angrily and sighed.
