Chapter 43 The Innocent Siege

"What did you say!"

Wu Zetian suddenly stood up and stared at Zuo Wenzong with his phoenix eyes: Didn’t I ask you to invite Chen Yuan back?

Why are you locked up in Dali Temple?

Feeling the murderous intent in the emperor's words, Zuo Wenzong knelt on the ground with a thud, and cold sweat broke out.

"I heard from Your Majesty that the old minister has nothing to do with this matter. It was the Inner Guard who sent someone to arrest Chen Yuan into Dali Temple."

"I don't know what's specific."

Wu Zetian was stunned and frowned. The Inner Guard Office was mainly responsible for supervising the words and deeds of local officials and their governance situation.

Is it related to that matter to not arrest officials easily?

Wu Zetian's face changed, she sat back on the dragon throne and said lightly: The Xuanneiwei Mansion Pavilion brought Shen Yunbao into the hall.

"Yes, your Majesty!"

The eunuch bowed and bowed, holding the dust in his hand, shouted outside the hall: Your Majesty has an order, and the Xuan Neiwei Palace Pavilion will bring Shen Yunbao into the hall!

"My memory, Shen Yunbao meets His Majesty!" A man wearing a cloak and tiger golden boots walked into the hall.

"Let's go flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wu Zetian slapped the handrail and said coldly.

"Shen Yunbao, did you send someone to the Dali Temple when the Chief of Luozhou?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, this man protested in public in Qingyuan County and released 300 important criminals in the court! So that Tianwei was damaged."

"I have no choice but to arrest him into Luoyang."

After the words came, the hall was quiet, and the officials didn't even dare to breathe. They kept saying in their hearts, "It's too big, it's too brave!"

Even the emperor dares to overthrow the major rebellion case that he has decided to be arguably stronger than this?

In the past, everyone just felt that Chen Yuan was young and energetic and did not understand the rules of the officialdom. Now it seems that this guy is really not afraid of death.

Who is the emperor? He was the master who ordered thousands of people to fall to the ground. When Heichi Chang was killed, several old ministers in the court knelt on the ground and tried to advise him.

As a result, not only did he not save Heichi Changzhi, but he was led by cruel official Zhou Xing to destroy his family overnight.

That night, the fire was raging, the sea of ​​corpses, blood, and the fire illuminated the sky above the gods.

Now Chen Yuan openly released the remains of King Yue, which is much worse than black teeth, even though the emperor has a good impression of it.

I'm afraid I'll have to end up with a different body and head.

Thinking of this, the ministers shook their heads with complicated expressions. As the official thorn, they deserved it.

But the key is that this kid pays back his mother to pay everyone money. If he dies, who will compensate everyone for the losses?

It seems that I have to find a way to persuade the emperor to save this guy, or pay back the compensation first, and then die.

The ministers thought secretly.

Wu Zetian sat on the dragon throne and remained silent.

In fact, she guessed that this guy was not corruption or bribed.

Women don’t like sex very much. Being arrested by inner guards is nothing more than just for some people who are implicated.

In fact, Wu Zetian was not as angry as the ministers imagined. Over the years, she killed many old ministers of Li Tang who opposed her.

Changsun Wuji, Pei Yan, Chu Suiliang, Wang Fangyi, Cheng Wuting, Li Zhen and his son, etc., all those who blocked the way were executed by her.

It can be said that after the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the old ministers of Li Tang who could threaten the imperial power were almost dead.

Those who survived were also irrelevant people.

So she was tired of killing and just wanted to manage the Great Zhou quietly, and recreate the Zhenguan rule and the dynasty of all countries like Taizong.

Unfortunately, the ministers in the court were scared by her. They knew that there were innocent people among the executed people, but they refused to stand up.

Now there is finally someone who stands up and she has to protect her.

"How can I convince the ministers to release the sinking source with decent attitude?" Wu Zetian fell into a dilemma.

Just as the king and his ministers were thinking about countermeasures, Shen Yunbao coughed and focused everyone's attention on himself.

"Your Majesty, when I arrested Chen Yuan, I took the Qingzhou Governor Wu Yuanji back to Luoyang..."

“After verified…”

Bang!

Wu Zetian's eyes lit up and he slapped the case: What a great Wu Yuanji, he dared to indulge his subordinates and release prisoners privately.

"I just said, Chen Yuan, a young man, had the courage to go against the court? It turned out that Wu Yuanji was instructing him behind the scenes.

The person who came here, he planned to dismiss Wu Yuanji from office and was exiled to Lingnan for pardon and was pardoned!"

Wu Zetian breathed a sigh of relief and finally found the scapegoat.

Shen Yunbao was a straight-hearted person. Seeing that the emperor misunderstood his meaning, he immediately clasped his fists: Your Majesty, Governor Wu...

"Hao!"

The censor Liao Wenxiang jumped out and said righteously: Don’t say anything about the leader of the Grand Pavilion. As the governor, Wu Yuanji instructed his subordinates to release the imperial offender privately.

It's simply a wolfish ambition and cannot be punished!

After saying that, Liao Wenxiang faced Wu Zetian: Your Majesty, the Censorate received a secret report a few days ago. In front of everyone's eyes, the governor Wu Yuanji received a bribe of tens of thousands of taels of silver.

If the box hadn't leaked the bottom, it would have been successful.

Moreover, relying on his identity as a governor, he broke into the county government and plundered his son who had committed a serious crime.

I beg your Majesty to punish him for his death!

"I'm going to discuss it!"

Wu Sansi stood in the crowd with a pale face, wishing he could kick Wu Yuanji to death.

Damn, I repeatedly remind him to be less greedy and improve his political achievements.

Now, everyone has used it as a scapegoat and can't even save it if you want to.

a long time.

He took a deep breath, fell to his knees, and joined the ministers to ask the emperor for punishment.

Wu Zetian sat on the dragon throne, looked at Wu Sansi with deep meaning, and spoke.

"According to your beloved ministers, Wu Yuanji was sentenced to death, and immediately understand the punishment of the righteous decree. As for Shen Yuan..."

The ministers breathed tightly and clenched their palms.

"Although I'm a little younger and more energetic, I'm still very useful. I'll keep my mind for a few days first and then take off my strength."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The ministers got up from the ground, turned around and ran out, looking at the direction of Dali Temple Prison.

No one knows how many days Chen Yuan can jump around, so he must take back the compensation before he dies.

"These old guys! They're really slippery."

Wu Zetian laughed and scolded, turned around and walked towards Guanfeng Hall, and ordered: Wan'er, take a bath and change my clothes.

Let's go to Dali Temple to see how brave this guy has, even I dare to disobey...

Dali Temple, Prison.

"Come on, bet quickly, bet at least five taels of silver!"

In the cell, Chen Yuan rolled up his sleeves, stepped on the long bench with one foot, and shook the dice with the other hand.

Around the table, several fat and big-eared officials stared at the dice, hesitated for a moment, and all chose to bet on the small ones.

"Okay, I'll buy it and I'm going to drive it!"

After shaking the dice, Chen Yuan held the dice Gu on the table with one palm, and then slowly took it away as the several people were nervously gaze.

"Oh, I lost again..."

Several officials shook their heads and pushed the silver to Chen Yuan unwillingly. They didn't know what happened today. They bet big and small, and bet small and big.

At this time, a prison guard ran into the prison and muttered a few words in the ears of the fat official, who glanced at Chen Yuan in surprise.
