Goldfinger of the Heavens

Chapter 85 The Woman Wu Zetian

Liang Wangfu.

"King Liang."

"What happened?"

"The emperor is critically ill!"

"Really?"

"I think that if the emperor can pass this level, I'm afraid it won't last long. King Liang must make good plans in the future."

……

too womb.

"what!"

"The news is absolutely reliable."

"This, this is too sudden, how could this happen."

"The emperor is over seventy years old, and this kind of thing is nothing to be surprised about, but His Royal Highness, you must prepare for the future."

"What do you mean?"

"Wu Sansi has always coveted the throne and wanted to put His Highness to death. At this juncture, we have to prevent him from poisoning His Highness."

"This……"

……

"Suck..." Di Renjie gasped as he looked at the four words on the bottom of the green toad in his hand, which said - to Prince Xian.

"Prince Xian" naturally refers to the former prince Li Xian, this green toad "suddenly" appeared in the hall just now, and it is precisely because of this green toad that Wu Zetian was overly panicked, his eyes rolled white, and he foamed at the mouth , twitching all over, and then let the servant invite Di Renjie into the palace.

Di Renjie was indeed an expert, once he made a move, he stabilized Wu Zetian's condition. After Wu Zetian was cured, Di Renjie picked up the green toad beside him, and only then did he discover the four words below the green toad.

"I gave this to Li Xian with my own hands."

Startled, Di Renjie raised his head and saw Wu Zetian looking at him.

Di Renjie quickly put down the green toad, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being disrespectful."

Wu Zetian shook his head: "Sit down."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to hold the green toad, looked at it for a while, and murmured to himself: "It's a ghost, it's a ghost!"

"Ghost?" Di Renjie was taken aback.

"Li Xian's ghost, he refuses to let me go. For several months, I have been haunted by ghosts almost all the time. I'm afraid this is a signal from the underworld. I will die soon."

Di Renjie smiled when he heard the words: "I have heard that during the reign of Emperor Taizong, there were also rumors of ghosts in the palace. This is why Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde guarded the gate. At that time, Yuchi Jingde once said: "Building a country and killing people Countless, how can there be ghosts!' Emperor Taizong greatly appreciated it, what a hero, and now, His Majesty, as the emperor, the dignified son of heaven, would actually believe in that ghost and heresy, which will probably make the world's teeth cold."

"If it wasn't for the ghosts, how could this green toad appear in front of me by itself, and tonight I had a very strange dream, it should be said that it was not a dream, it was so real, but when I woke up, Lying in bed."

"Oh, what dream?"

Wu Zetian recounted the dream she had, and the armless woman she dreamed of was the queen.

"For many years, I have been having the same dream. It is for this reason that I ordered no one in the palace to keep cats; it is also for this reason that I made up my mind to leave Chang'an and live in the capital of God for a long time! If it is as you said It's a false rumor, how could I have had the same dream for so many years in a row."

Di Renjie pondered for a moment, then said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, can I forgive you to speak frankly?"

"There are no outsiders present, you and I are like friends, but it doesn't matter."

"I have heard about the events back then. Your Majesty is good at strategizing. The reason why the Queen and Concubine Xiao Shu were convicted back then may be inseparable from your majesty's strategy!"

Wu Zetian suddenly raised his head.

Di Gong hurriedly said: "This humble minister made a slip of the tongue."

Wu Zetian sighed: "Go ahead."

"Although your majesty is a generation of Mingjun, but after all, she is a woman. In terms of heart and nature, she is no different from other women. I have heard that Wang and Xiao are extremely miserable. Can your majesty really be at peace?" Di Renjie asked.

Wu Zetian looked away and let out a long sigh.

Back then, Wu Zetian cut off the limbs of Wang and Xiao, put the hands on the feet, put the feet on the hands, and then put the two people into the wine tank, and slowly cooked them to death. Thinking about this way makes people shudder .

"At that time, His Majesty saw the death of the two with his own eyes. It can be said that it was shocking. I also met some people who died in a terrible way during the judgment. For the dead, since the body is dead, everything disappears. But for the living who see the dead, there will be a kind of thought: "This person died so badly, will the ghost linger and come to seek revenge?"

In this way, while thinking during the day, there will be dreams at night, and after waking up, the previous thoughts will be confirmed, and it is believed that ghosts have caused troubles in the dreams.Therefore, I often use this kind of mentality in judging cases. The so-called interrogation department is actually nonsense, but a means.The reason why your majesty has frequent nightmares is nothing more than that, and your majesty has a woman's heart, which makes it easier to believe in ghosts, so it can't be calm. "

Di Renjie spoke eloquently, and Wu Zetian couldn't help nodding his head.

"Perhaps what you said makes sense. But how do you explain the matter of the green toad? I personally gave this green toad to Prince Tonghuai Li Xian. After his death, I took it back and locked it in Shangyang Palace. How did you come here tonight?"

Di Renjie nodded: "It's indeed a strange thing, but it doesn't mean that it's ghosts. Is it possible that it was done by humans?"

"People? Who?"

Di Renjie said: "I dare not make any inferences, but based on years of experience in judging cases, I feel that someone must be responsible for this matter, and use your Majesty's fear of ghosts and gods to achieve my ulterior purpose."

Wu Zetian let out a long sigh: "You don't believe in ghosts and gods, I don't blame you. But when you say there are treacherous people, it's just a baseless assumption."

Di Renjie smiled, but did not speak.

"Just now you mentioned a woman's heart, how can I have a woman's heart? From the day I entered the palace, I was no longer a woman. I have been struggling in the whirlpool of politics all my life. What I saw and heard was death, betrayal and killing. , I have no retreat, I can only move forward step by step, and finally I came to the end, ascended the throne, became the emperor, and no one is above me. But from that moment on, I also lost everything, my family , children, kinship, nothing! There is only rebellion, flattery and non-stop hard work."

Di Renjie looked at Wu Zetian, these words did not seem to come from the mouth of this strong woman at all, but they were from the heart.

Wu Zetian let out a long sigh: "Above ten thousand people, what have I gained from being the emperor?"

"What your majesty gets is the world."

Wu Zetian smiled bitterly and said: "You are wrong, all I got is hatred and enemies. My sons became my enemies; brothers and sisters became enemies; former friends became enemies; I had to keep them out of my sight Clear them one by one, so I will have nothing."

Di Renjie asked: "If it is said that your majesty killed Li Zhong, the king of Yan, it was because he was the queen concubine Xiao and he could not be tolerated by your majesty, but I still don't understand why your majesty killed the crown prince Li Xian. He is your own son. ah!"

"Because of a poem." Wu Zetian said the reason for killing Li Xian.

"That's it?" Di Renjie was dumbfounded after knowing the cause and effect.

Wu Zetian nodded slowly, a tear streaming down her cheek.

Di Renjie sighed, not knowing what to say.

"No, Shouxin is still alive." Wu Zetian suddenly turned to look at Di Renjie.

"Shouxin? Li Xian's son, Li Shouxin?"

Wu Zetian stood up slowly, and said, "Yes, to find him, I must find him, not only that, but I also want to do a great ceremony to save these undead."
