The next day, a golden ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and enveloped the entire Chang'an.

Inside the Golden Palace.

Civil and military officials lined up on both sides. The hall, which used to be noisy, was eerily quiet today.

Song Li's face was solemn, and Cui Xinghe also glanced back with suspicion.

Gao Yang stood at the back, yawning lazily.

This was naturally Wu Zhao's permission.

For now, there was not much difference between him, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and a salted fish.

Anyway, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was the peak.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

A voice cut through the hall.

All the officials looked in the direction of Wu Zhao, only to see Wu Zhao wearing a golden dragon robe, with a strong aura all around her.

"Long live your majesty."

As soon as Wu Zhao appeared, all the officials saluted.

Wu Zhao sat on the dragon chair, her phoenix eyes first glanced in the direction of Gao Yang, and then said to all the officials.

"I believe you all have heard about what happened yesterday."

For a moment, all the officials were silent.

Since Wu Long was imprisoned, it means that the overall situation has been decided. Today's court is just a process to convict Prince Rong and convince the world.

Anyone who dares to stand on the side of Prince Rong now is really courting death.

Wu Zetian leaned against the dragon throne and said with dignity, "Prince Rong is the Prince of Daqian, the head of the three ministers appointed by the previous emperor."

"But you put me under witchcraft and cursed me to die early, which really hurts me!"

"Bring Prince Rong up to me!"

Accompanied by Wu Zetian's voice, Prince Rong was soon pressed up, but the originally majestic Prince Rong was very embarrassed at this moment.

His hair was disheveled, and although the crossbow arrows on his buttocks and thighs were pulled out, the blood stained the white prisoner's clothes, as if he had been tortured.

Wu Long said hoarsely, "Your Majesty, I don't know what crime I have committed to make Your Majesty drug me and stab me with a hidden arrow."

"If Your Majesty can't tolerate me, why bother so much, just say one word, and I will die in front of Your Majesty!"

For a while, with the voice of Prince Rong, the eyes of all officials changed, and it was obvious that there was a lot more sympathy.

Wu Zhao clenched her fists.

Gao Yang was right. Wu Long was clearly trying to embarrass her. Even his embarrassed look was intentional.

After all, she didn't order a severe punishment.

Wu Long was also an old official of Daqian. He was coming with great force!

Wu Zhao raised her eyebrows and looked at Gao Yang, who looked like he had nothing to do with her.

She slowly said, "Mr. Gao, what crime did Prince Rong commit? Tell me."

Gao Yang was stunned.

What was going on?

Wasn't it Wu Zhao who followed Prince Rong's path and left him with nowhere to go?

Was she putting the blame on herself?

But since Wu Zhao had spoken, he had no choice but to stand up.

"Prince Rong, what crime have you committed? Don't you know it yourself?"

"You dared to curse His Majesty with witchcraft in order to usurp power and seek the throne. His Majesty has spared your life, which is already a great mercy!"

Gao Yang suddenly spoke.

When Wu Long saw Gao Yang, he was so angry that his teeth itched.

"Witchcraft?"

"I have never done so-called witchcraft. This is slander!"

Gao Yang bowed and said, "Please call witnesses, Your Majesty."

Soon, several witnesses entered the Golden Palace.

Several people successively accused Wu Long of poisoning Wu Zhao, including servants of Prince Rong's mansion.

Wu Zhao threw a doll covered in mud and pierced with silver needles on the ground, "This is the witchcraft I found in Prince Rong's mansion."

"What's your explanation, uncle?"

Wu Long's face remained unchanged, he said coldly, "Witnesses can be tortured, and similarly, this so-called cursed doll can also be placed by someone on purpose!"

This remark spread throughout the Golden Palace like a sonic boom.

Song Li, Xu Xuanji, Cui Xinghe and others all changed their faces, the meaning of this remark was already very clear.

This is a head-on confrontation with Wu Zhao!

Wu Long had no scruples, he knew what he was facing.

The change of power has been cruel since ancient times.

But Wu Zhao wanted both power and fame, how could there be such a good thing in the world?

Today, he would make Wu Zhao lose face.

He took a deep breath, with shackles on his head and feet, he was about to speak, and ordered the guards to take off his shirt and give Wu Zhao a hard time.

But suddenly there was a loud shout from behind.

"Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to take off Prince Rong's shirt!"

When Gao Yang's voice came out, Wu Long was stunned.

What does it mean?

But this is exactly what he wants!

Wu Zhao said coldly, "Yes!"

Soon, the guards stepped forward and took off Prince Rong's shirt, revealing

The hideous scars on his back appeared.

Among them, there are knife wounds and arrow merchants. The scars are crisscrossed like centipedes.

For a moment, all the officials were moved, especially some generals who couldn't help but want to speak out.

"Prince Rong, are you worthy of these scars on your body?" Gao Yang cried out sadly, pointing at Wu Long.

Wu Long's eyes widened instantly.

Cui Xinghe's face trembled wildly, and he instantly understood Gao Yang's sinister intentions.

Before Wu Long could speak, Gao Yang continued to point at Wu Long and speak.

"The Prince Rong in my heart is the Prince Rong who protects the country with his life!"

"In the battle between Baihegou and the State of Zhao, Prince Rong took the lead. Among the thousands of troops, the people you killed were bloody men and the horses were bloody horses. Do you remember?"

"In the battle of Gaocheng, you fought alone and were hit by four arrows, but you still kept moving forward, killing the Chu army and retreating. After the war, your armor almost turned into a hedgehog, and your life hung on a thread. Do you remember?"

Wu Long was stunned.

His eyes widened.

These are all his words!

Gao Yang continued to say loudly, "In the battle of Xichang, the late emperor personally led the expedition and was almost captured alive. It was you who took the lead and charged in with the elite cavalry to save the late emperor!"

"After the death of the late emperor, he gave you the iron certificate of alchemy and appointed you as the head of the three great ministers of Daqian. What kind of trust is this, and what kind of honor is it?"

"But as for you, you first betrayed the late Emperor Gu's trust, and then your Majesty's trust. You actually cursed His Majesty with witchcraft. You are ashamed of the scars all over your body, and you are ashamed of your glory!"

"This move really chills the hearts of the government and the public, your Majesty, and the whole world!"

Wu Long was stunned, his eyes full of disbelief.

These were all words he used to question Wu Zhao.

Now that you have said it, what did I say?

Wu Long became anxious instantly.

"Gao Yang, you are so slanderous!"

Gao Yang's expression remained unchanged, "Prince Rong, as a military general, he must stand upright and dare to do what he does. Now that the evidence is solid, you still want to continue to quibble?"

"If you admit it, it will appear magnanimous. If you just quibble, it will only make the world look down upon you!"

Wu Long couldn't hold himself any longer.

This guy is so vicious!

What should he say now? It's not right to quibble, and it's even worse to admit it. Moreover, this scar on his body has actually given him an army.

First, he drugged his son, and then designed him with a nine-turn large intestine. The method to capture him was even more dirty. Not only did he have a knife and axe, he was also drugged, and he was attacked with crossbows and arrows without any moral ethics!

"Gao Yang, this king is your ancestor!"

"You will definitely be punished!"

Wulong's eyes breathed fire, and he wanted to bite Gao Yang to death.

Wu Zhao sighed and said very sentimentally, "The former emperor's uncle worked hard for me through life and death. He was truly a hero. The scars all over his body bear witness to his glory, but I really didn't expect that the temptation of power would be so great." , let the emperor use such dirty methods!"

Wu Zhao said this with a sad look on his face.

"Although the emperor's uncle has betrayed me and Daqian, how can I betray the emperor's uncle? Although the crime of treason is a serious crime, the alchemy book and the iron certificate are useless, but if I want to attack the emperor's uncle, I will attack a Daqian in the past. I definitely can’t do it with the help of the hero!”

"Come here, take the emperor's uncle to the prison and treat him cruelly!"

All the officials were moved and then shouted.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"Your Majesty is truly a benevolent king!"

The historian also wiped the corners of his eyes and wrote quickly.

This royal feeling is so touching.

Wu Long was shaking with anger and almost couldn't breathe. He looked at Gao Yang and then at Wu Zhao, who was very sad.

Only a few idioms flashed through his mind.

Birds of a feather!

A nest of snakes and rats!

Working together!

Adulterer and adulteress!
