Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 677 The Uproar (1)

At three o'clock in the morning, the sky had just dawned, and Empress Wu had already gotten out of bed and didn't go to wash up, she just leaned on the brocade cushion in a daze, her face was very pale, as if she hadn't woken up, and in fact it was so. Last night, Empress Wu hardly slept much. Every time she fell asleep, she always woke up with palpitations. Not only did she sleep lightly, but she also had nightmares again and again, which seemed to indicate that something bad was about to happen, but Empress Wu thought again If there is no problem, what will be the problem? I can't help but feel a little irritable, and my face is not looking good. When the gloomy look comes out, all the eunuchs and maids accompanying me tense up. , didn't even dare to take a breath, let alone urge Empress Wu, the whole bedroom was full of a strange dead silence.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, something serious has happened, Doctor Ming, Doctor Ming..."

Just as Empress Wu was deep in thought, a sweaty Cheng Denggao broke in amidst the sound of hurried footsteps, without even paying attention to saluting, he shouted out of breath.

"What's wrong with Chongyan? Say it, tell me!"

As soon as he heard the words "a major event", Empress Wu immediately jumped up as if struck by lightning, and asked Cheng Denggao without waiting for Cheng Denggao to finish speaking.

"My lady, Doctor Ming, Doctor Ming, he, he is dead, dead."

There have always been rumors in the palace that the relationship between Ming Chongyan and Empress Wu is ambiguous, but there are only a few or two people who really know the inside story. Cheng Denggao is undoubtedly one of them, and he is the one who knows the details best. It is not clear Ming Chongyan's position in Empress Wu's heart, seeing Empress Wu so anxious at this time, his heart couldn't help trembling wildly, but he didn't dare to hide the truth, he could only swallow dryly, and reported the bad news with great difficulty come out.

"What? How could this be, how could this be?" Upon hearing Ming Chongyan's death, Empress Wu was stunned, staggered a few steps with a pale face, and muttered a few words in her mouth, as if her tail had been stepped on Jumped up like an old cat, no matter how inconspicuous, he grabbed Cheng Denggao's corset, opened his eyes and roared: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, you guys dare to lie Lie to me!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not because of the old slave's lies. In fact, Doctor Ming was assassinated in the mansion last night and died. The case has been reported to the Jingzhao Mansion."

Seeing Empress Wu's fury, Cheng Denggao's flustered heart became even more flustered, his legs and feet were weak, and his body trembled like chaff, but he didn't dare to hide anything, so he hurriedly explained One sentence.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

Hearing what Cheng Denggao said, Empress Wu knew that the matter must be true, she felt a great pain in her heart, let go of Cheng Denggao in despair, staggered back a few steps, and used her hands hard Pressing the temples on both sides, he raised his head and let out a shrill scream.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you, you have to take care, Your Majesty..."

Cheng Denggao is Empress Wu's best friend, Empress Wu's glory will make him shine, and Empress Wu's loss will bring him danger. He doesn't want to see Empress Wu lose his normal state, and he doesn't want the scene in front of him to spread, in case it accidentally reaches Gaozong's ears Now, seeing Empress Wu in such a frightening manner, Cheng Denggao was terrified, so he rushed to the front, stretched out his hand to hold Empress Wu's arm, and persuaded him in a low voice.

"I'm fine, tell me, who did it?"

After all, Empress Wu is Empress Wu. Although it was inevitable to be impulsive after hearing the bad news, she soon came to her senses, and impatiently pushed Cheng Denggao aside, and asked with a livid face.

"This... old, old slave really doesn't know, old slave..."

After Cheng Denggao got the news, he came to report to Empress Wu. He didn't know how the whole incident happened. He vaguely felt that it had something to do with the East Palace, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. , could only kneel down on the ground in fear, and stammered to answer.

"Hmph, go, Chuan Ge Gong will come and see you immediately!"

Empress Wu glared at Cheng Denggao irritably, raised her foot and wanted to go out of the bedroom, but stopped after walking a few steps, frowning with an uncertain face, and ordered in a cold voice.

"No, the old slave complies."

Hearing Empress Wu's order, Cheng Denggao immediately heaved a sigh of relief secretly. How could he dare to be negligent in the slightest? Gar Yingong, who was wearing armor, turned back again.

"At the end of the day, I will see the Queen of Heaven!"

Although Gar Yingong has been favored by Empress Wu recently, his foundation in the court is very shallow after all. Except for Ming Chongyan, he has little friendship with the rest of the empress. Because of this, he was often squeezed by the queen's party members, and Cheng Denggao was one of them, so he would not tell him the inside story of the summoning by Empress Wu. With just a twitch, an ominous premonition welled up in his heart, but he didn't dare to show the slightest disrespect, so he rushed to the bed and gave a military salute very respectfully.

"Do you know that something happened to Chongyan?"

Empress Wu was in an extremely bad mood, she didn't even cry out, she asked with a dark face.

"Brother Ming has an accident? This..."

Hearing what Empress Wu said, Gar Yingong was startled suddenly, suddenly raised his head, and looked at Empress Wu in astonishment.

"Just last night, a thief assassinated Chongyan. Ersu and Chongyan are friends, do you dare to avenge him?"

Wu's back twitched a few times, and he squeezed out a sentence between his teeth.

"what?"

Hearing that Ming Chongyan had been assassinated and died, Gar Yingong was startled, sweat poured out of his head uncontrollably, waves of fear agitated in his heart—if it wasn't for Wu Yining last night On duty, at this moment he, Gar Yingong, might have to follow Ming Chongyan to drink tea with Lord Yama.

"Ok!"

Empress Wu was heartbroken by Ming Chongyan's death, obviously unwilling to dictate the details of his death, so she frowned and waved at Cheng Denggao, and gave a cold voice, signaling that he would tell the details.

"Promise." The Empress Wu had an order, and Cheng Denggao dared not disobey. He hurriedly bowed to the promise, forced his face full of sadness and said, "General Ge doesn't know something. The news came from the other side of the mansion, saying that a thief broke into the back garden of the Ming mansion last night and fought fiercely with Doctor Ming. The war is over, only the body of Dr. Ming was found, but no trace of the thief was found, and now the Jingzhao Mansion is busy investigating on the spot, and the follow-up news is still unknown, that's how things are."

"Brother Ming's martial arts is rare in the world, and now he will be killed by a thief, unless it is..."

Gar Yingong is also a generation of martial arts practitioners. Although his own martial arts are limited, his vision is very good. He knows how strong Ming Chongyan's martial arts are. Hearing that someone was able to kill Ming Chongyan in a short time Yan, subconsciously thought of Li Xian's head, but after halfway through the sentence, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach.

"Unless? Hey, there's no such thing as an unless. If it's not that fellow, who could have such a black heart and viciousness? I swear I won't give up with him! If you have any concerns about Ai Qing, just say it."

Empress Wu served two emperors in her life, but when it comes to true love, Ming Chongyan is the only one. After losing her lover, the majesty in the past has disappeared, and the rest is only the revenge of a shrew. Regardless of the evidence or not, it was Li Xianzhi who killed the case with one bite.

"This……"

Gar Yingong and Li Xian had the great hatred of killing his father and destroying the country, so he wished to tear Li Xian to pieces. The reason why he tried every means to get close to Empress Wu was precisely because he wanted to use Empress Wu to deal with Li Xian. Gar Yingong is cautious by nature, and when there is no perfect opportunity, he never wants to confront Li Xian head-on, even though Empress Wu seems to have made up his mind to fight Li Xian to the end, Gar Yingong still has an extra In his mind, in his opinion, since Li Xian dared to kill Ming Chongyan, he naturally had a perfect plan to deal with the aftermath. At this time, he might not be able to take advantage of Li Xian's deadly confrontation. If you accidentally fell into Li Xian's preset trap, the consequences would be severe.

"What? I'm scared, huh?"

The current Empress Wu is completely blinded by hatred, and she only thinks about avenging Ming Chongyan. When she saw Gar Yingong showing hesitation, she immediately became annoyed, narrowed her eyes, and grinned sinisterly. A heartbreaking sentence was squeezed out of the cracks.

"Your Majesty, the enmity between my servant and that person is as deep as the sea. I think about it day and night to avenge my shame. Even if I die, there is no fear at all. It's just that the current situation is delicate. If we act forcefully, Not only can you not avenge Dr. Ming, but you may be beaten by him, you have to be careful to proceed properly, this humble minister's humble opinion, I also ask your empress to judge."

Seeing that Empress Wu had obviously lost her mind, Gar Yingong couldn't help but secretly complained about it, but Empress Wu was his only hope for revenge, so Gar Yingong naturally didn't want Empress Wu to be involved in this matter After falling into a big somersault, this cautiously spoke out to remonstrate.

"Oh? Then Aiqing is talking about how I should deal with this matter?"

After all, Empress Wu was not an ordinary person. Although the sadness in her heart was still there, she calmed down after being reminded by Gar Yingong. After pondering for a while, she opened her mouth to ask a question.

"Returning to your mother, I believe that this matter must be thoroughly investigated, but how to investigate is a bit particular. After all, it depends on whether the on-site inspection can find evidence. If it can, the right to adjudicate the case must not be released. It must be loyal. Reliable people let it go, if it is not possible, I think that this case should be pushed to the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince."

While Empress Wu was thinking, Gar Yingong's mind was already running fast, and when Empress Wu asked a question, he already had a plan, and calmly came up with a solution.

"Well……"

Empress Wu is a generation with seven orifices and an exquisite heart, her scheming is as deep as the sea, even if Gar Yingong didn't say it thoroughly, she has already understood the key point, but is she really going to make such a determination? Easy, after frowning and thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Ai Qing will take my palace's handbook and lead the troops to the Ming Mansion to find out first. If there is any news, report it immediately!"

"No, my servant obeys the order!"

What Gar Yingong was worried about was that Empress Wu would act recklessly in her rage. Seeing that she had calmed down, she felt at ease, and hurriedly responded, then hurriedly left the bedroom and went to do her own business. item is not mentioned.
