Great Tang princess

Chapter 353 Announcement
Tianhou's voice still echoed in the court, but many ministers below were a little confused.

They looked at each other, as if they wanted to ask each other what Ling Chi meant with their eyes, but they were a little embarrassed.

After all, if others understand but you don't, wouldn't it appear that you are low-educated?

But under the temptation of their eyes, many people found that the other party didn't seem to understand, and they immediately felt much better.

Di Renjie was the only one in the audience who was not afraid of losing face, and he stood up and saluted directly: "Dare to ask the queen, what kind of punishment is this 'Ling Chi'? I don't understand!"

Seeing that he took the initiative to stand up and ask questions, the other ministers also looked up one after another, waiting for Tianhou's answer.

Wu Zetian stood up behind the bead curtain: "The so-called Ling Chi is the punishment of cutting flesh and bones!"

Hearing this sentence, the officials all opened their eyes wide, raised their heads and looked over, it seemed a little unbelievable.

Killing people is nothing more than nodding their heads. This kind of punishment is obviously a bit excessive.

The most serious punishment in the Tang Dynasty was to dismember the body and show it to the public after beheading, but the premise was after the beheading.

But seeing Tianhou's meaning, it was obvious that she intended to torture her alive, even if she just listened to it, without seeing the scene, many people felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet and heading straight to their brains along their backs.

Di Renjie frowned: "Tianhou, this...seems a bit inappropriate?"

"What's wrong?" Wu Zetian turned his head and asked, "Isn't it good not to implicate people who are innocent?"

"I don't mean that, but..."

Seeing that Tianhou answered irrelevant questions, Di Renjie didn't know whether to continue talking.

Although he claimed that anyone dared to spray, he was not a fool, and it was clear when he could say something and when he couldn't.

Instinct told him that this time the Empress might not be asking for their opinions, but just a notice, as if she had already made up her mind.

Seeing that Di Renjie stopped talking in a very sensible way, Wu Zetian nodded in satisfaction: "In addition, the names and punishments of these criminals will be published in newspapers in the future and announced to the world!"

Hearing this, many ministers' hearts sank.

Nowadays, I dare not say that the newspapers are all over the Tang Dynasty, but at least the first- and second-tier cities basically already have them. Once this kind of thing is published in the newspaper, it will be known to the whole world.

At that time, every person who rebels, as long as the rebellion fails in the end, will be cast aside by the people of the world forever!
"In addition, in the future, not only will the names and deeds of those who have contributed to the country be published in the newspaper, but their portraits will also enter Lingyan Pavilion and receive respect from generation to generation! Even if there are people who make mistakes in future generations, they will not be cancelled..." The queen's voice continued to ring out in the hall.

As soon as this sentence was said, Li Yuechen could clearly feel that the breathing in the court hall became much faster.

The literati of this era basically regard leaving a prominent reputation in the history books after death as the ultimate goal of life.

Lingyan Pavilion was established by Emperor Taizong to commemorate the twenty-four heroes. These twenty-four names can still be memorized by these ministers!

If one day my name and portrait can also enter it...

Thinking of this, even Di Renjie's breathing became a lot faster.

Seeing the scene in the court hall, Wu Zetian lowered his eyes, scanned the officials in the hall, and asked slowly: "Do you have any objections?"

To be honest, there are definitely objections.

No one who can get to this point is a fool, and they can naturally hear that the real purpose of abolishing Lianzao earlier is to destroy the unity of the clan.

Because in this way, there will be no external pressure, and the clan will definitely not be as united as it used to be.

At least if someone wants to rebel, I'm afraid someone in the clan may become a second or fifth boy!
But now the condition of being in the Lingyan Pavilion is thrown out, if he refuses, it is tantamount to rejecting this as well!

Yangmou!Naked conspiracy!
In this way, it depends on how they choose.If you agree, it's like jumping into a pit.If you don't agree, don't even think about entering the Lingyan Pavilion!

Many ministers lowered their heads one after another, turned their brains into high speed, and weighed the pros and cons.

Wu Zetian was not in a hurry, just sat behind Zhu Lian and waited for their answer, with a confident smile on his face, as if he had already controlled the rhythm of the audience.

She leaned back in the chair very relaxedly, put one hand on the armrest, and waited patiently for their reply.

Li Yuechen in the first row below raised his head slightly, looked at his mother behind the bead curtain, and couldn't help showing a smile.

It turns out that not only the men who compete for their careers are handsome, but also the women who fight for their goals are also beautiful!
Although she is now old and her hair is graying a lot, her face looks much younger than her actual age, and her complexion is ruddy. It seems that she still has a kind of vitality that only young people can have!
I have seen many posts before saying that power feeds people, but Li Yuechen thinks about it carefully, this sentence makes sense, but it should not be entirely true.

To be precise, it is success that raises people.

No matter what the goal is, working hard on this road and gradually achieving greater achievements is the most nourishing thing!

Seeing her daughter's dark eyes looking straight at him, Wu Zetian smiled lightly, adjusted her posture slightly, and became more proud.

……

The ministers quietly lowered their heads to think, weighing the pros and cons.

Li Yuechen also lowered his head and remained silent, roughly estimating the time, almost a quarter of an hour had passed, the court hall had been very quiet, no one spoke.

Neither the Queen of Heaven nor the ministers urged her, as if they were completely nailed in place.

She turned her head slightly, and saw that Princess Yiyang who was in charge of recording the court meeting in the passage also stopped writing, turned her head and looked at this side with a puzzled expression, and didn't know why she didn't speak.

Seeing her sister looking over, Princess Yiyang made several gestures, meaning to ask what was going on.

Li Yuechen shook his head slightly, signaling for her not to worry too much, just wait with peace of mind.

Perhaps it was because she got impatient waiting, Wu Zetian finally spoke again: "Since no one speaks, does it mean that all the ministers have no objection?"

The court hall was still quiet, which already explained their answer. At least after weighing the pros and cons, they still felt that it was more important to leave their names and portraits in Lingyan Pavilion.

Besides, Tianhou also said that once the sitting system is abolished, even if the descendants of the courtiers rebel, it will not have any impact. This was something that was unthinkable before.

What's more, the abolition of the joint sitting system does not mean that the relationship between the clans is completely broken, it just means that it is not easy to unite on major issues.

But blood relationship is still blood relationship, shouldn't we just do what we should do in normal times?
And those ministers who were born in the gentry did not object, and it was even more impossible for those who came from poor families. For now, they still pay more attention to the question of whether they can enter Lingyan Pavilion in the future.

So the ministers all turned their heads and looked at Yushitai.

If anyone else would come out and spray at such a time, it could only be them.

It's just that there is a certain emotion conveyed in the eyes when looking over: almost forget it, Yang Mou, admit it, it's not without benefits...

Now the censor Zhongcheng Di Renjie has stopped talking, and the supervising censor Cui Xie is the Queen of Heaven, so naturally it is impossible to object...

If it is still possible to speak out, Wei Xuantong, the official censor, is probably the only one left.

Sensing the eyes around him, Wei Xuantong thought for a few seconds, gritted his teeth and stood up, saluting: "After returning to heaven, this method is good, but I think you should think about it more..."

His tone is not heavy, very soft.

In fact, saying this is equivalent to agreeing, but it is probably out of work needs, so I subconsciously want to express my negation.

"Oh……"

Wu Zetian behind the bead curtain shook her head regretfully: "Since Wei Aiqing disagrees, forget it!"

Hearing this sentence, Li Yuechen's shoulders shook, and he almost couldn't help laughing, but he couldn't help it at the critical moment.

And the ministers also opened their eyes wide and looked at the past, isn't it funny?Can't you hear his soft tone?

But there is no way, the initiative in this matter is now in the hands of Tianhou, if you miss this village, there will be no such shop.

For a moment, the ministers frantically gave Wei Xuantong winks, telling him to apologize quickly.

Originally, Wei Xuantong didn't expect Tianhou to be like this this time, so he raised his head and looked over in the same surprise.But then he felt the gazes from around him.

After understanding the meaning in their eyes, Wei Xuantong looked in disbelief. These people actually asked him to apologize to the woman?
He immediately wanted to get angry. As a royal doctor, persuading is his job, how can he apologize?

Just as I couldn't help but get angry, I immediately calmed down.

If you don't apologize at this time, it will be difficult to get along in the court in the future, and there is no guarantee that someone will not suddenly fall into trouble.

And it is impossible for him to be like Wei Zheng in Taizong's time, even if he was isolated, he could continue to be tough with the emperor...

In case I really fell to the point of being isolated, I am afraid that the day of saying goodbye to the officialdom will not be far away.After all, I am not Wei Zheng, and the Queen of Heaven is not Emperor Taizong.

In the final analysis, the officialdom is not fighting and killing, but the sophistication of the world...

After agreeing on this point, Wei Xuantong sighed, and then saluted: "After returning to heaven, I don't disagree, it's just..."

"Since you agree, let's settle this matter!"

Wu Zetian didn't want to hear his explanation later, but just wanted to hear that he admitted his mistake, that's all!

So he immediately interrupted him, stood up and waved his sleeves: "Let's retreat!"

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking nonsense and walked away, disappearing into the hall immediately.

"The Queen of Heaven..." Wei Xuantong wanted to explain something, but was immediately interrupted by Zhang Chengxin's sharp voice: "Back—towards—"

Hearing this notification, Li Yuechen changed his posture and sat down, rubbing his aching calves.

Then he stretched his legs into a straight split-horse and pressed them on both sides, then slowly stood up, and walked out of the hall at the end.

Seeing the officials gradually walking out of the palace in groups of three or four, Li Yuechen who was behind smiled and shook the hair on his forehead.

Today's results were completely expected. Compared with abolishing Lianzao, leaving a name in history is more important.

After all, in today's Datang Guotai Min'an, there is no need to rebel at this time, and it is not the right time to rebel, so there is no need to think too much about the continuous sitting system.

On the contrary, Lingyan Pavilion, if he can get the recognition of the Queen of Heaven, then he can also be famous in history!Many ministers thought so in their hearts.

Li Yuechen walked last, walking slowly outside the palace.

The sunlight splashed across the entire palace, making it a little dazzling.

She turned her head, looked in the direction of Renshou Hall and smiled, then continued to walk out.

Once she made a secret decision that as long as her mother can protect the country and the people, she will try her best to leave her the name of a great emperor in history. This matter can be regarded as the official start!

……

Two days later, Li Yuechen came to the Hall of Renshou according to the imperial edict, and today he was going to meet someone here, King Luo Bin!

On the way into the palace, she couldn't help but think, it seems that her mother really likes this person's talent.

After all, being able to summon a rebel in Renshou Hall is almost an incredible thing.

After entering the hall, seeing his mother practicing calligraphy, Li Yuechen immediately ran behind her: "Mother, please stop first, I'll give you a shoulder massage."

"No need," Wu Zetian turned his head and smiled, "Go and stay behind the screen, don't make a sound."

"What? A Niang really intends to let King Luo Bin enter the court as an official?" Li Yuechen asked a little puzzled.

After all, he is also a traitor. If he is arranged in the court, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the officials.

Wu Zetian shook his head: "It's impossible to enter the imperial court, but in the future the newspaper will become bigger and bigger, so it's not impossible to be an editor-in-chief in Chang'an."

"But the premise is that he is willing to be used by A Niang?" Li Yuechen asked, "Will he agree?"

"If you don't agree, Chen'er will come out from behind the screen and beat him to death!" Wu Zetian replied, "Anyway, he is a traitor. If he can't take the crime and make meritorious service, what's the use of keeping him?"

Good guy, you really deserve to be my mother, this decisive character is really amazing!

Li Yuechen nodded and agreed: "Yes!"

To be honest, if it was someone else, she would have to hesitate a bit, but she didn't really have a good impression of King Luo Bin.

Even if he is a talented person recognized by history, but insulting his mother is an enemy in her eyes.Li Yuechen has always been a helper but not a helper.

After a while, Zhang Chengxin's voice came from outside: "The queen, Luo Binwang has brought it!"

Li Yuechen consciously picked up the teacup, walked behind the screen, and lay down on his side.

Wu Zetian tidied up her clothes: "Bring them in!"

After a while, Zhang Chengxin brought King Luo Bin into the hall.

Although King Luo Bin was imprisoned during this period, he was not abused. Before coming to see the Queen of Heaven, he took a shower and changed his clothes.

On the whole, the color is still very good.

After he came in, he immediately saluted respectfully: "The guilty minister has seen the Queen of Heaven!"

"Since I know I'm guilty, it's worth calling you here today!" Wu Zetian nodded slightly, then waved to Zhang Chengxin, "Tea!"

Zhang Chengxin agreed, and quickly picked up a teapot with a small fire to keep the water temperature from the small stove next to him, and poured him a cup of tea.
