Chapter 177: Disobedience!
Wu Zetian deliberately pulled Li Zhaode and other prime ministers to Mingtang Square. Is it really for Cuju? Obviously not. His intention is actually to hold a final showdown against the prime ministers. At this time, it is the time for both sides to showdown!
The situation of people persuading advancement has been staged again. How do the prime ministers express their opinions now?
Everyone was kneeling, only the prime ministers stood, and thousands of people outside were persuading to enter. Wu Chengsi was crawling on the ground and persuading to enter. Can the prime ministers pretend to be deaf and continue to drag this matter? Obviously, they have no way out!
Wu Zetian had no expression on her face and her eyes fell on Wu Chengsi who was kneeling on the ground. She looked out and the dark crowd outside knelt down. The scene was extremely quiet and the needle was heard. It was obvious that everyone was waiting for Wu Zetian to express her opinion!
But Wu Zetian just didn't speak, and she just sat upright, which put a lot of pressure on people. Just as the two sides were confronting each other, Di Renjie shouted coldly: "The queen is here, why don't she kneel down?"
After Di Renjie finished speaking, he was the first to kneel on the ground, followed by Li Zhaode turned his head aside and knelt down. Then Su Liangsi, Cen Changqian and others knelt down one after another. When everyone knelt down, the atmosphere in the room was slightly relieved.
At the critical moment, Di Renjie's shout relieved the embarrassment. The two sides had no room for irreversibility during this collision and test. The prime ministers knelt down. Although they did not say Wu Chengsi's advice, their attitude was revealed.
For the prime ministers, although they showed up, they did not say what they were most reluctant to say, so they could cover up the past. This time the test of both sides finally passed by each other.
When Wu Zetian stopped seeing the good news, his face smiled and said, "Chengsi, why are you as ignorant as them? The world of the Tang Dynasty belongs to Your Majesty! Your Majesty is not at fault. As my mother, how can I take Your Majesty's world for myself? This is absolutely impossible, and I will not do such an extraordinary thing!"
Wu Chengsi kowtowed to the ground and said, "Empress of Heaven, the Holy Mother is the will of heaven! Recently, there have been auspiciousness in all parts of the world, and they are born for the Empress of Heaven to rule the world. If the Empress of Heaven does not follow the will of Heaven, I am afraid... I will bring great disaster to my people of the Tang Dynasty!"
Wu Zetian waved his hand and said, "Okay, Chengsi, don't mention this matter again! I will definitely not rule the world! You guys, my mind is too simple. I am over 60 years old and half a person has been buried in the soil. My determination is to assist Your Majesty in governing the Tang Dynasty and let the people be prosperous and healthy. Don't mention the rest!"
Wu Zetian said this, and immediately a eunuch went out to signal to Fu Youyi and the others. The drama of Fu Youyi leading ten thousand people to persuade him to enter was staged again. He came to see him again with great enthusiasm. Wu Zetian said:
"Fu Aiqing, today's Cuju is very good, it's really exciting. I am very happy. All the adults present were very dedicated to watching it. Good, very good!"
Fu Youyi said: "The Queen, there will be a more exciting Cuju competition in the future. Although the Nanya Imperial Army who fought with the Inner Guard today is powerful, it is still more than apart from the Cuju army in the Princess' Mansion! If the Inner Guard can fight with the Cuju army in the Princess' Mansion in the future, the situation will definitely be even more exciting!"
Wu Zetian laughed and said, "Okay, I hope so! Fu Qing worked hard and made great contributions. Come and see the reward!" Immediately, a palace maid and eunuch brought the reward, but it was 100 pieces of silk and 100 taels of gold. This heavy reward made Fu Youyi tremble all over.
He knelt on the ground and said, "Queen Tian, what kind of virtue is Wu Youyi? He actually received such appreciation and reward from the Queen of Tian? Wu Youyi thanked Tian!"
Wu Zetian's heavy appreciation of Fu Youyi gave another big signal. On the one hand, she said that she had no interest in sympathizing with the emperor, but on the other hand, she gave Fu Youyi a heavy appreciation, who organized thousands of people to persuade him to enter. Even a three-year-old child would probably understand his intentions!
But Fu Youyi just knelt outside and received such a great reward, which was more than ten times more than the money he could win by gambling just now. Wu Zetian gave the prime minister and gave it to him.
At this point, Fu Youyi can be said to have been favored. The last time he was given the surname "Wu" by Wu Zetian, so he called himself Wu Youyi. People like him who only flattered and flattered were really a strange flower in the circle of prime ministers...
"Li Zhaode, are you convinced today?" Wu Zetiandao looked at Li Zhaode!
Li Zhaode pondered for a moment and said, "Report to the Queen of Heaven, I dare not disobey!"
Wu Zetian looked at Su Liangsi and said, "Liangsi, are you convinced?"
Su Liangsi said: "Reporting to the Queen of Heaven, I must not refuse to accept it!"
Wu Zetian smiled proudly, looked at Cen Changqian and said, "Changqian, are you convinced?"
Cen Changqian took a deep breath and said, "Report to the Queen of Heaven, I am not convinced!"
"Coax!" Cen Changqian's words caused an uproar. Everyone looked at him together. Cen Changqian raised his head and said, "God, look at me. Although the Southern Yajun army is strong, they may not be able to let go in front of the inner guards! Today's defeat is not defeated by Cuju skills, but by chance! Therefore, the weak minister is dissatisfied!"
Wu Zetian stared at Cen Changqian, and the room suddenly became quiet, and everyone's hearts were in their throats! Even Di Renjie frowned. At this moment, everyone was extremely nervous.
Who doesn’t know Wu Zetian’s character is present? Cen Changqian actually dared to stand up and challenge her authority and dared to say the word “disobedience”. Will Wu Zetian be ruthless?
In recent years, there have been too many people killed in Wu's hands. Even though Cen Changqian is the prime minister, would Wu Zetian dare not kill him?
Cen Changqian's uncle was Cen Wenben. Cen Wenben was the prime minister of Emperor Taizong of Tang and was highly valued by Emperor Taizong. Therefore, the Cen family is also considered a prime minister family, and has great influence both in Chang'an and in the gods.
However, can the Cen family compare with the Changsun family back then? Can Cen Changqian compare with Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and other ministers who stood in the court during the reign of Emperor Taizong? These people died one by one at the hands of the Wu family. Is Cen Changqian seeking death?
"Haha!" Wu Zetian suddenly laughed and said, "Cen Aiqing is honest, okay, very good! I like honest people! Since that's the case, how about we bet another game?
The most popular Cuju competition in the capital is the Princess's Mansion vs. The inner guard Cuju Army. We will use this Cuju competition as the target. My dear friends, Cen Changqian, do you dare to bet?"
Cen Changqian shouted the word "disobedience", and she felt that she would die. Wu Zetian did not get angry with him now, but asked him to challenge him again. He would not hesitate and immediately said: "Okay, I am willing to bet again! I will put my wealth and life on the princess's mansion!"
