Wu Zetian said: "Wan'er, please get rid of your husband and wife. From now on, you will be the servant of the husband and wife. However, after you arrive at the husband and wife's mansion, you must remember your identity and not be arrogant."

"Here." Shangguan Wan'er gave a memorial service and stood up to go to the side hall.

In fact, there is nothing to clean up, only a few close-fitting clothes.

After a moment, Shangguan Wan'er followed Pei Shaoqing and Princess Taiping onto the carriage.

Qing Xuan also took the same car. Fortunately, Princess Taiping's Zhai car was big enough, and it was more than enough to sit down ten people.

Looking at the shy Shangguan Wan'er, Qing Xuan sighed silently in his heart. Another ignorant little girl fell under the sweet words of this disciple.

...

In Shengyefang, Pei Yan's mansion.

"Brother, the imperial doctor has left."

After seeing off the imperial physician sent by Wu Zetian, Pei Dan turned back to the room.

Pei Yan said: "A Zhong, help me sit up."

Pei Zhong and Pei Dan quickly stepped forward to help Pei Yan up.

Pei Yan said: "A Zhong, come here with a pen, ink and paper. I want to write a memorial."

"Brother, let's do it for me." Pei Dan said, "You are so hurt."

"Okay." Pei Yan nodded and said again, "Speak more sincerely, don't have any complaints."

"I know." Pei Dan said hatefully, "I've suffered such a big loss. If I care about the gains and losses in words, wouldn't it be because of a small loss? I still know this little."

"It's good that you know." Pei Yan said, "We need to know that today's concessions are for tomorrow's progress!"

He paused and said, "Look, what we lost to our Pei family's horse-washing house today will definitely be ten times more likely to be returned in the future!"

Pei Dan and Pei Zhong are also important points.

Pei Yan said to Pei Zhong again: "A Zhong, you go to Lantian tomorrow and have a good talk with the Maitreya Master Ximen about the next preparations."

"Here!" Pei Zhong replied with his hands crossed.

...

The next day, the prime minister of the Ideological and Political Hall discussed politics.

Liu Rengui handed Pei Yan's remarks to Wu Zetian and crossed his hands and said, "Empress Dowager, I have been hurt for a hundred days. Pei Ge Lao is unable to attend court in a short period of time, but political affairs cannot be abolished."

"I would like to temporarily dismiss Pei Ge's old political affairs and select another wise minister to join the Political Affairs Hall."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cen Changqian said, "Empress Dowager, I think it's inappropriate."

Cui Zhiwen, Li Yiyan and Wei Xuantong showed a greasy look on their faces.

What are you doing? Is it interesting to sing a double act like this? What about coaxing a three-year-old child?

Wu Zetian said softly and asked, "Shilar Cen, what's wrong with this matter?"

Cen Changqian said: "The Liu Ge Lao is kind and righteous, and does not want to take advantage of the situation. However, I think that Pei Ge Lao maliciously blocked Liu Ge Lao's righteous act of presenting books to poor families is suspected of blocking and suppressing poor families. Moreover, after the matter was exposed, the censors of the Censorate and officials in the Beijing were also discussing this."

"So what?" Wu Zetian asked, "What do you want to say?"

Cen Changqian said: "I think that Mr. Pei Ge not only wants to dismiss the position of Secretary General, but also should not be retained."

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Waifeng, Guo Zhengyi and Liu Yizhi left the list at the same time, crossed their hands and said, "I will discuss it."

Wu Zetian asked Cui Zhiwen: "Gei Master Cui, what do you think?"

"This..." Cui Zhiwen was speechless.

But he said in his heart, Queen Mother, you can’t let this go?

You know that I want to take over the position of the Secretariat Ling, but I am now a Shizhong, so it is hard to say such words on the initiative. If I take the initiative to propose this, would this old face still be needed?

"Since Mr. Cui has objections, I'll talk about this later."

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Let Mr. Pei stop his political affairs first."

"The Empress Dowager is wise." Liu Rengui couldn't help but feel a little stern.

The Queen Mother of my heart is still very experienced and already knows the essence of the technique of checks and balances.

However, the Empress Dowager was still too wishful thinking. After this incident, Pei Yan would never be able to use it for you. You still want to use Pei Yan to check and balance me, but you are destined to fail.

Wu Zetian was so proud that he gave Liu Yizhi a wink.

Liu Yizhi met and immediately crossed his hands and said, "The Empress Dowager, Minister Wu of the Ministry of Personnel submitted a memorial, requesting the establishment of the seven temples of the Wu family, and posthumously conferred the title of ancestors as kings."

"Is this OK?"

Wu Zetian asked: "What do you mean by the elders?"

Liu Rengui was silent. Although he had disagreements with Wu Zetian's political views, he did not take a stance on this matter.

If she had to say something, Liu Rengui actually tended to recognize Wu Zetian because Wu Zetian is more friendly to poor families. Moreover, judging from her recent actions, she is indeed promoting officials from poor families, and is also working hard to break the monopoly of power among the children of aristocratic families and strive to open up the path of upward promotion for poor families.

Liu Rengui was silent, and Cen Changqian and the other two were silent.

Cui Zhiwen had to go out to work and retort: ​​"Empress Dowager, I think it's inappropriate."

"I dare to ask Mr. Cui Ge." Liu Yi's words, "The Empress Dowager and the Last Emperor are called the two saints, and their status is equally different. What's wrong with establishing the seven temples of the Wu clan and posthumously conferring the ancestors of the Wu clan as kings?"

Cui Zhiwen ignored Liu Yizi and said to Wu Zetian: "Did the Empress Dowager forget the lesson of Empress Lu?"

"How can Empress Lu compare with the Empress Dowager?" Liu Yizhi smiled and said, "Besides, the kings conferred by Empress Lu are living children of the Lu family, and the Empress Dowager just posthumously conferred the ancestors as kings."
