Chapter 816: The shocking news to the officials, the emperor's decision

Wu Sansi shook his head: "The noble families of the 19 states of Jiangdong welcomed us. Li Cunxi must hate them to the core."

"Li Cunxi must be eager to get rid of him as soon as possible. After knowing this, he will only applaud."

Even though he said this, Wu Sansi still felt that it was inappropriate.

He knew better than anyone what kind of person Li Cunxi was, but it was still unclear whether the other party would deny it outright.

"Your Majesty, are you hesitating?" Lin Yongzhong laughed.

"Yongzhong knows me."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have sufficient reasons to prove that Li Cunxi will never reveal the truth."

"Yongzhong, tell me quickly. I want to listen carefully." Wu Sansi looked at Lin Yongzhong and thought to himself that this was indeed his Xiao He.

Lin Yongzhong said, "The Jiangdong nobles welcomed Your Majesty into Jiangdong. They have already betrayed the Great Zhou and are traitors. Why would Li Cunxi speak for them?"

"That's true!"

"Secondly, the death of these traitors will nominally weaken the aristocratic families of the Nineteen Prefectures of Jiangdong, but in reality, it will weaken our own strength because we will lose helpers who can continue to demand benefits."

"Yes."

"Third, these two families and several others are of exceptional status. Although our annihilation of the two families only made us even more infamous, the other families gained tangible benefits. Our increased reputation is beneficial to Li Cunxi. He could easily attack us in the name of our brutality. But what he didn't expect is that because the other families have gained tangible benefits, they will actually help us even more."

Wu Sansi was amazed and admired Lin Yongzhong's wisdom even more.

Look at them, they are all men of letters, so why is Lin Yongzhong so smart?

"The Prime Minister is truly a man of far-sighted wisdom." Fang Ruhai and Yang Dacheng gave a thumbs up.

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

After chatting for a few more sentences, Lin Yongzhong left on the pretext of something.

He held the forged letter and laughed strangely outside the palace.

"Wu Sansi, Wu Sansi, you stupid pig, it won't be long before you are deserted by everyone."

Wu Sansi also saw the benefits he and those aristocratic families had gained.

But they didn't see the fear hidden deep in the hearts of the noble families after they wielded the butcher knife because of him.

How could these people not be afraid of Wu Sansi?

As long as the butcher knife is raised, these people's fear will never dissipate.

These fears would take root deep in the hearts of the aristocratic families, then spread, and finally turn into dissatisfaction and resentment towards Wu Sansi, which would play a certain role in overthrowing Wu Sansi in the future.

……

Luoyang, the capital of the gods.

Civil and military officials met at an emergency court meeting, sat on soft cushions, and discussed the civil strife in the Turkic region in whispers.

Since Li Jinzhong's death, Wang Xiaojie, Guo Yuanzhen, Feng Yang and Yingzhou Guard Commander-in-Chief Su Honghui have never relaxed their vigilance.

After the Turkic civil strife broke out, the Turkic Crown Prince Bakhtin, the Turkic Marshal Daleha and the Tiger Division General Buzhen surrendered to the Great Zhou with more than 16,000 Tiger Division cavalry.

This is an unprecedented event!

As long as it really happened, it would bring honor to Da Zhou.

He was the crown prince of a country, the commander-in-chief of a country's army, and a general who was experienced in fighting.

In the future, the Great Zhou Dynasty will have two military god-level figures at the same time.

While the ministers were discussing, Shangguan Wan'er and Wu Chengsi arrived at the Qianyang Palace. Shangguan Wan'er coughed and then quickly retreated behind Wu Chengsi.

"Prince Jin and Lord Shangguan have arrived."

"Is your Majesty well?"

Di Renjie stepped forward and asked.

Wu Chengsi sighed and shook his head again and again.

"Your Majesty hasn't had a good night's sleep for several days."

"Even after drinking the tranquilizing medicine, she still dreamed that Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong came to look for her."

"When I arrived, His Majesty was about to go to bed."

Di Renjie and a group of ministers sighed, as there was no solution.

Six days ago, the emperor woke up from his bed in a sweat after a dream.

Immediately, she ordered people to call Wu Chengsi, Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi and Wu Youxu to the palace.

At that time, the emperor said that since Li Xian committed suicide, she could not sleep no matter what. Every time she fell asleep, she could see Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong coming to claim her life.

In order to help Wu Zetian sleep peacefully, Di Renjie performed acupuncture on her and asked the emperor to take a tranquilizing decoction.

In the past, the emperor would definitely have a good sleep after this operation.

But that night, the emperor had a nightmare. Li Shimin, Li Zhi, Li Xian and Li Dan surrounded the emperor and shouted "evil woman" in unison.

When she woke up again, Wu Zetian was completely exhausted and had no interest in attending court.

In order to prevent chaos in the court, Wu Zetian appointed Wu Chengsi as temporary regent.

Wu Chengsi was also a smart man. He knew that the ones who could regent were the crown prince, so he risked his life to refuse the position.

Finally, Wu Zetian said that if you are worried, send Yuan Hui to the Prince of Qin's Mansion and send Yan Hao to Li Cunxi. As long as you really have any other thoughts, your favorite children will have nothing to do with you anymore, and all the civil and military officials in the court will attack you.

Wu Chengsi then reluctantly agreed, and personally sent Wu Yuanhui, who had just returned from Chang'an, to the Qin Palace and handed her over to Qin's wife Xiao Mei. He asked Wu Yuanhui to call Xiao Mei "sister" and then ran away.

He also asked Li Yuanfang to send his own son Wu Yanhao to Li Cunxi's military camp, and specially kept Lao Hei by his side. The reason was simple. If he had any second thoughts, no one would stop Li Cunxi from killing Wu Yanhao.

Then, in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, he asked the court musicians to play the famous "Music of the Qin King Breaking the Formation". After arousing everyone's emotions, he swore to Emperor Gaozu that he would never take advantage of the country's crisis to do things for his own benefit.

After this series of operations, no one, not to mention Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi, even the civil and military officials in the court could stop Wu Chengsi from serving as regent.

Therefore, Wu Chengsi successfully supervised the Six Heavenly Kingdoms. During this period, no one caused him trouble and everyone was willing to do more work.

It was not until today that a letter came from the north and everyone gathered in Qianyang Palace to see what the emperor meant.

Wu Chengsi walked up to the altar and came to Wu Zetian's dragon bed, standing like Shangguan Wan'er.

"Everyone knows what I'm going to talk about today, right?"

"Your Majesty's meaning is very simple. As long as the Turkic civil unrest is real, our Great Zhou will accept the service of Crown Prince Bukhanna, Grand Marshal Daleha, and General Buzhen."

"According to the current situation, Wang Xiaojie, the General Commander of the Hebei Province, has indeed discovered the situation in the north. Prince Helu has rebelled and killed Jili Khan. He now calls himself 'Helu Khan.'"

"That is to say, it won't be long before Crown Prince Bakhanna, Grand Marshal Daleha, and General Buzhen will serve as ministers in the same palace with us."

Wu Chengsi glanced around and found that most of the officials were extremely happy.

As I said before, Bukhara is a banner. With Bukhara, the great cause of establishing the rule in the north is in our hands.
