Chapter 308 Jade Pendant
When Emperor Gaozong took power, he suppressed veterans and promoted poor officials.Empress Wu represented the humble officials of low birth.If the emperor wants to be deposed, he can only rely on the old ministers again. The poor officials who have been promoted will not let the aristocratic family rise up to suppress themselves.Queen Paul is the general trend.Gaozong could not abolish the Wu family.After this incident, Wu's reputation will be greatly increased.

After thinking about it, Cen Sanniang said softly: "Your Majesty is a sensible person. She is fair. If your Majesty helps out, the concubine should return the favor. In the past, Yuan Tiangang told King Teng that the concubine was the noble person he wanted."

Empress Wu knew that it was because of this comment that King Teng met Cen Sanniang.

Cen Sanniang continued: "Unfortunately, Yuan Tiangang chose the auspicious acupoint behind him in Wulipo, Longzhou City, allowing my concubine to get a glimpse of the secret by accident."

Empress Wu raised her phoenix eyes slightly: "Tianji?"

Cen Sanniang said slowly: "The jade pendant given by the empress was buried in the garden of King Teng by the concubine. The terrain of Longzhou is like a lang, and the whole city is a natural Fengshui pattern. As long as there are dragons sitting in the town, the mountains will always be green and the water will be green, and the empress will Wealth is unmatched."

"Ridiculous!" Empress Wu sneered.

But Cen Sanniang smiled lightly and didn't argue anymore.

Empress Wu was about to have an attack, and the four words "no one can match" came to mind.Her current status is only under one person.Could it be that the emperor couldn't do it if he wanted to abolish the empress?Why is Teng Wang involved?Cen Sanniang wants to protect King Teng?

"Ma'am, Yan Sui and I just went to the south to find a warm place. You can find us anytime." Cen Sanniang said softly.

It means that she is not afraid that what she said is a lie?

Empress Wu thought of the wine that King Teng drank in one gulp.Originally wanted to kill him to satisfy the emperor.Things turned out better than she expected.And, keep it.

After leaving the White Horse Temple, Cen Sanniang got into the carriage.Du Yansui didn't ride a horse either, and squeezed in quickly.

"I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat!"

"Cold sweat is coming out."

The two muttered something at the same time and laughed.

Du Yansui asked her: "What did the queen tell you?"

Cen Sanniang shook her head: "I didn't say anything. I even returned King Teng's favor. As long as he doesn't want to rebel, the queen probably won't think about killing him."

Du Yansui stopped asking, shook her hand and said with a smile, "We can go back to Chang'an."

Heavy snow fell, Mrs. Du buried Du's ancestral grave.

The people guarding the ancestral grave saw that the clan members were gradually dispersing, and two more carriages came and stopped at the door.He was about to ask who came to offer sacrifices to the old lady.Zou Xiongjie ordered the servant to bring two jars of wine and a piece of silver, and said softly, "It's the second girl from the Duke's mansion, who wants to be quiet. Can the old man help me?"

The old man who got the wine and silver recognized him, glanced at the other carriage, sighed, shook his head and entered the house.

Du Yansui brought Cen Sanniang and three boys wrapped in white fox fur to kowtow and offer incense in front of the grave.

in the palace.

The bright red nails stained with impatiens flower juice lightly tapped on the letter, and the ink-black Shangguan was particularly eye-catching.

"Your handwriting is not afraid of falling into other people's hands." Empress Wu sighed, the corners of her golden powdered eyes were extremely charming.

She folded the letter and put it in the tortoiseshell silver-inlaid mahogany box, locked it in the cabinet herself, and put away the key.

What Cen Sanniang said was right, with him around, she would not fall down.Empress Wu's back was straight, and the gold-studded long-sleeved dress matched with the golden phoenix hairpin on the high bun made people dare not look directly at her.

"Show the ride." Empress Wu supported the female officer's hand to get on the chariot, and the long procession went to Xuande Hall.

Hearing that the empress was coming, Gaozong sat upright and picked up the memorial very seriously.His head hurts, but he persists.He can no longer hand over all the government affairs to the Wu family because of his headache and dizziness.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Empress Wu entering the palace in a radiant suit.Gaozong pretended not to see it, and only waited for Empress Wu to come forward to say hello.

Suddenly, the memorial in his hand was torn away by Empress Wu.

"Empress, this is..." Gao Zong was a little dazed, he had never seen such a domineering Wu family, he didn't even ask for peace, but came directly to his side and took away the memorial in his hand.

"Your Majesty! Tell me, do you not love your concubines anymore?" Empress Wu was slightly angry, and before Gaozong could recover, she began to cry, and threw the memorial on the table to the table, "You ruined In order to lose the reputation of the concubine, you send the concubine back to Ganye Temple!"

Gaozong was dumbfounded.

The servants and female officials of the Xuande Hall retreated completely at some point, and the door of the hall was closed silently.In the hall of Nuo Da, there are only the weeping queen and the stunned emperor.

Empress Wu grabbed Gaozong's skirt, and the wide sleeves slid to her elbows, her charming face was full of shock, anger and sadness: "I think of Azhi with all my heart, and I have suffered from being stabbed in the eyes of others. It’s hard to get to today, only then did I realize that Azhi was just using me. I went back to Ganye Temple, and from then on I thought I had a dream, and I woke up as the Mingkong nun of Ganye Temple!”

She let go, took two steps back, stretched out her hand to remove the gold hairpins on the bun one by one, and shook the tin hairband: "Don't bother you to write the imperial edict to abolish the post. It is not convenient for me to prepare a pot of poisoned wine by myself, just say it." Sudden illness and death, ruined your reputation! Hong Er will not bother you to abolish his crown prince. He has no such luck, let him go with me! Just pretend that there has never been my mother and son in this palace..."

Gaozong finally woke up, held Empress Wu's hand, and said stutteringly, "Meiniang, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Nonsense? Aren't you going to abolish me? Am I going to pester you for the post and refuse to leave?" Empress Wu's eyes were extremely innocent, she stopped her hands, and her hair was full of black hair.She threw herself into Gaozong's arms and burst into tears, "I did something wrong. I shouldn't have pitied you for being hungry when you were serving the late emperor, and brought you a bowl of hot soup. I thought that people only see power in their eyes. Only Azhi understands the truth. You ignored me and entered the Ganye Temple, and welcomed me into the palace even if you were against the old officials. I thought that no matter how cold this Daming Palace is, as long as you are there. You despise me and no longer love me , you just need to tell the truth. If you want to abolish the love you have had for so many years, are you even refusing to tell me the truth?"

"I didn't!" Gaozong's scalp was numb, and he was at a loss when Empress Wu cried, "When did I say, I want to abolish the Empress."

The lack of confidence made Empress Wu sneer in her heart.

"Didn't your majesty ask Lord Shangguan to make a decree for the abolition of the empress?"

"I do not……"

Gaozong subconsciously denied it.There was a panic in my heart, and I was extremely dissatisfied with Shangguanyi.How dare he leak out such a confidential matter!
Empress Wu was stunned, and shouted sharply: "Shangguanyi dares to pretend! Someone, copy the seal of Shangguan's mansion, and capture Shangguanyi's family!"

Gaozong opened his mouth, and Empress Wu had already turned back and threw herself into his arms: "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of your concubine! Those old officials are really pervasive. They just stare at the concubine's past. How can this be against the concubine? Dissatisfied, obviously dissatisfied with the emperor for welcoming the concubines into the palace. Instigated the emperor to abolish the concubines. Then choose a woman they like as the queen. The emperor is wise and kind, is it possible that in this life, the three waste queens and the three waste princes will be passed on? , Every family adopts a concubine as their main wife, and divorces their wives without reason, how to educate them?"

"Ah." Gaozong's mouth finally closed, and Empress Wu's crisp voice filled his ears. The ups and downs of the truth made it difficult for him to open his mouth to argue.

When the sound disappeared, he saw that he had stamped the golden seal on the imperial decree.

What did he do?Gaozong's head hurts.

In a blink of an eye, the memorials scattered all over the floor have been picked up by Empress Wu and neatly piled up on the desk. Her beautiful hands are holding up her black hair behind her head, holding the hairpin together: "The emperor suspects that my concubine interferes with the government. The concubine will not be able to deal with the government in the future." Just do your part.”

A tear fell on the back of Gaozong's hand, causing him to jump up: "Shangguanyi..."

The gate of the palace was pushed open silently, and Empress Wu handed the imperial decree to Eunuch Liu: "The emperor decreed that Shangguan Yi's family will be copied and beheaded, and the female family members will be confiscated into Yeting as slaves!"

Gao Zong slumped down on the chair.Empress Wu's sudden attack caught him off guard and lost his judgment.He wondered blankly, was it his decree to kill Shangguanyi?Which veteran would dare to support him in the future?

Empress Wu took two steps back and bowed her knees to salute: "The emperor still has a memorial to read, and the concubine will return to the palace. If the emperor does not announce the edict in the future, the concubine will not step into the Xuande Palace again. The concubine only needs to deal with the harem and let the emperor Rest assured."

His eyes swept over the memorials piled up a foot high on the desk, and Gaozong saw the paper memorial opened on the desk, which said that three memorials had been played, so what was the memorial?
"Meiniang, come here!" Gaozong called to stop Wu.

Empress Wu stepped forward docilely.

"You, find out what was played on Shannan West Road earlier."

"Your Majesty, this is Master Li's report from the Observatory. Tianshi Yuan chose Langzhou to make auspicious acupoints. I want to ask for a favor."

Yuan Tianshi calculated that his physical life was short, and he wanted to become a flying fairy.Gaozong said oh, and suddenly remembered that Langzhou was originally Longzhou, and King Teng was still serving as the governor.He also remembered that Du Yansui accompanied Yuan Tiangang to kill the Dragon Qi.While thinking about it, Eunuch Liu entered the hall and reported: "Your Majesty, the six ministers and the two prime ministers are still waiting in the side hall."

"Your Majesty, my concubine is leaving."

Gaozong grabbed her and closed his eyes: "I have a headache, tell them to come in, you listen. Help me remember if there is anything."

He is not a fool.If she is a man, he will make him a prime minister.seal?Is it back to the time when you were ostracized by three old friends?No, not right.Mei Niang is not like them.At least she would have asked herself, and what she said was often what she thought.He's dizzy, she's his head.He is dazzled, she is his eyes.It turned out that he was jealous of her.
