Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Chapter 196 Emperor, it’s time for you to abdicate!

Everyone suddenly panicked when they heard that Li quietly controlled an army of [-] people.

A hundred thousand troops is not a small number. Once Luoyang is controlled by these people, it will be difficult to invade.

Just when everyone was panicking, the ground suddenly shook, and then dense armored guards came from all directions to surround the monarch and his ministers.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Li Jing snorted coldly.

"Now that Wu Zetian is gone, as long as you change your mind and become loyal to me, I will spare your lives!"

After hearing these words, the civil and military officials looked at each other in shock. Some of the military ministers who were highly valued by Wu Zetian stood up and rebuked loudly on the spot.

The remaining ministers lowered their heads and their expressions kept changing.

Seeing this, Li Jing smiled proudly.

"Wu Zetian, you have been in charge of the Tang Dynasty for many years in vain, but in the end, you have ended up being betrayed and separated from your relatives?"

"Look, how many of the ministers in the DPRK and China are really on your side?"

Wu Zetian glanced at the silent majority, surprisingly calm.

"When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. Apart from Fan Xin, there are a few people who can see through life and death. I am not surprised."

Li Jing's pretty face said ferociously: "You still have the nerve to mention Fan Xin. If this idiot hadn't gone to Liangzhou to save you, how could he have ended up with no bones left!"

"Wu Zetian, not only did you kill my own mother, you also killed the person I care about most."

"You die!"

After saying this, Li Jing took out a cloud-piercing arrow and shot it into the sky.

In an instant, thousands of horses galloped, and the momentum was so great that everyone present changed their expressions.

Soon, under everyone's surprised eyes, a group of generals wearing heavy armor walked up the steps.

As soon as these generals appeared, the Minister of Punishment stepped forward triumphantly.

"Generals, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time..."

"Oh!"

Knocking down the Minister of Punishment, Jiang Ji led the generals to Wu Zetian in front of everyone's doubtful eyes.

"The last general, Jiang Ji, Tu Xiong, Cao Wei, Du Kang, Niulanshan..."

"We are here to escort you on the orders of Fan Xin, the General of Longhu and Longhu of Shangzhu Kingdom, the marching commander of Longyou Road!"

"Long live the Queen Mother, long live, long live!"

Immediately afterwards, the guards around the Temple of Heaven and even the 10,000+ troops in Luoyang City all knelt down, and their voices rumbled.

"The last general has been ordered by General Longhu to come here to escort you!"

"Long live Long live Long live!"

Seeing this passionate scene, all the officials present stroked their beards with emotion.

As expected of the Queen Mother's most trusted minister, he would not forget to protect her until her last journey even in death.

Compared with the ministers of the martial arts department, those silent ministers collapsed directly on the ground, their faces were pale and they were sweating.

They never expected that Li Jing's so-called [-]-strong army turned out to be Fan Xin's men, causing them to follow him.

The most shocked person among everyone was Li Jing. She never expected that Fan Xin would treat her badly when he left Luoyang.

When she thought of Wu Zetian's ruthless methods, Li Jing looked up to the sky and closed her eyes with a long sigh.

In the end, she lost to Wu Zetian by one step.

Signaling the generals to get down, Wu Zetian looked at Li Jing calmly.

"I have said that with an unparalleled minister like Fan Xin, one person is enough!"

"Come back to the palace!" After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left.

Looking at the emperor's guards leaving, a young Taoist boy in the crowd turned around and asked.

"Master, are you sure you don't want to see the Queen Mother anymore?"

The fisherman spit out the straw in his mouth and dusted himself off.

"There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. I have already shed the blood that I should have shed for the Tang Dynasty. Now it is time to live my own life."

"I am less than [-] years old and I am in the third rank and in charge of the Luoyang garrison."

"If you stay in the court any longer, it is inevitable that your achievements will overwhelm the master and arouse people's suspicion." "Instead of destroying the relationship between the monarch and his ministers at that time, it is better to take the opportunity to hang up and leave."

"Go back to your hometown in Youzhou to make some money and try your best to run the arsenal."

Fan Xinjiu knew Wu Zetian's character well in the court. Although he had unconditional trust in him, he would inevitably become suspicious as his power grew.

Therefore, retreating from the rapids is the best way to settle down.

"By the way, master, do we want to take our master's wife and sixth brother with us when we return to Youzhou?"

Tao Tong's heart moved and he asked.

"No, Liuzi has been with the master for more than ten years. It's time for him to enjoy his future."

"As for your wife, I will find an opportunity to take her to Youzhou quietly."

"Come on, it's time for us to go."

After saying that, Fan Xin took one last look at Wu Zetian, turned around and left with the black wind horse.

Wu Zetian, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped and looked back, with confusion on her brows.

"What's the matter, queen mother?"

"I seem to have heard the cry of the black wind horse. Could it be that I heard it wrong?"

Di Renjie stroked his beard and smiled.

"Queen Mother, you must have heard wrong. Heifengma disappeared since the Liangzhou collapse. How could it appear in Luoyang?"

"Too."

Wu Zetian shook his head and sighed, then got on the imperial chariot and drove towards the palace.

Shangyang Palace, main hall.

After all the ministers paid their respects, Wu Sansi was the first to stand up.

"Queen Mother, as a descendant of Li Tang, Li Jing has repeatedly colluded with foreign races to frame you. According to the law, even dying a hundred times will not be enough to wash away her sins."

"I request that she be executed immediately to enforce the law!"

Being beaten in front of so many people, Wu Sansi wished he could cut Li Jing into pieces to vent the wounds in his heart.

Therefore, as soon as he returned to Shangyang Palace, he couldn't wait to kill Li Jing.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zetian changed his usual style and said calmly.

"Li Jing's rebellion case involves many things, so it's not appropriate to be impatient. Let's imprison her in Dali Temple first, and I will interrogate her later.

Wu Sansi was stunned for a moment and thought he heard wrongly.

"Queen Mother, what are you talking about? You have committed such a serious crime and are being imprisoned in Dali Temple pending trial?"

"I have made up my mind on this matter, you don't need to say any more."

Wu Zetian tossed her sleeves and robe, stood up and left Shangyang Palace, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment. "

They thought that the Queen Mother would immediately carry out a large-scale purge, but nothing happened.

Returning to Guanfeng Hall from Shangyang Palace, Wu Zetian didn't even look back.

"Call the emperor."

"Yes."

Several chamberlains bowed and saluted, and soon they led Li Dan into the hall.

After the incident in front of Yingtianmen, Li Dan seemed particularly cautious.

"My son, I see my mother, I wonder what you are calling me for?"

Looking at her frightened son kneeling on the ground, Wu Zetian touched his face and murmured for the first time.

"Dan'er, my mother knows that you are afraid that you will end up like your brothers."

"But remember, no matter what the rumors say outside, we are still mother and son. Tiger poison does not eat its children, let alone humans."

"Go, go back and write the abdication edict and find a place to express your feelings about the landscape."

"From now on, my mother will be in charge of the Tang Dynasty for your Li family!"
