Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Fan Xin thought that he could do whatever he wanted with the royal family's trust, but he didn't know that he had already come up with a trump card.

This move is guaranteed to turn Fan Xin into a toothless tiger.

Seeing Zhang Changzong's confident look, everyone felt relieved and walked into the hall.

Soon, Wu Zetian walked onto the stage with everyone watching.

"I see the Queen Mother, long live my queen, long live my queen!"

"All my dear friends, please live in peace."

"Thank you Queen Mother!"

After the ministers stood up, Wei Yuanzhong took the lead in walking out of the queue and holding the jade guide in his hand.

"I am reporting to the Queen Mother that I will impeach Zhang Changzong. This person was selling official titles with great fanfare during his stay in the palace."

"So much so that there are ten county magistrates in a small county government. Throughout the past and present, such ridiculous things have never happened. I hope the Queen Mother will punish him severely!"

At this time, another imperial censor stood up from the queue.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Changzong has embezzled and accepted three hundred thousand taels of bribes in just a few months. If he doesn't get rid of it, how can he explain it to the world?"

Looking at the angry censor, Zhang Changzong sneered disdainfully and didn't care at all.

The Queen Mother is still waiting for his poppy soup to cure her illness, so mere corruption and bribery are nothing.

However, he still had to act, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Queen Mother, I am wronged!"

Wu Zetian looked down at Zhang Changzong on the ground, with cold murderous intent in his eyes.

If Fan Xin hadn't discovered the clue, she might still be kept in the dark.

Wu Zetian said coldly at this thought.

"What are you wronged about?"

"Your Majesty, the medicinal materials introduced to the Tang Dynasty from the Western Regions are extremely expensive. In order to help you recover your body as soon as possible, I had no choice but to collect some money to buy the medicine."

"Who would have thought that the princes would use this to put their ministers to death!"

"Queen Mother!

I have to say that Zhang Changzong's cry was very contagious, making those who heard it sad and those who saw it crying.

Seeing Wu Zetian sitting on the dragon chair indifferently, Zhang Changzong took advantage of the crying moment to wink at his subordinates.

Then he stood up and laughed miserably

"That's all, since the Queen Mother doesn't trust the ministers, then Zhang will follow the wishes of the princes!"

"Queen Mother, I take the first step!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Changzong gritted his teeth and hit the beam.

He didn't believe that Wu Zetian dared to let him hit him to death, let alone that the latter could leave Poppy Soup!

Sure enough, this scene caused a huge sensation.

Several ministers who had received instructions in advance rushed to hug Zhang Changzong and cried out sadly.

"Zhang Guogong, you are the pillar of the imperial court and you cannot stand against your will!"

"Yes, who will treat the Queen Mother without you!"

Amidst the noise, a cold voice sounded in the main hall of Shangyang Palace.

"Let go and let him hit you."

quiet!

The hall was deathly quiet, and all the ministers turned their heads to look at Wu Zetian on the platform, with shock in their eyes.

No matter how they impeached Zhang Changzong on weekdays, the Queen Mother would not believe it.

What happened today?

Compared with the shock of all the ministers, Zhang Changzong was the most unbelievable.

He didn't expect Wu Zetian to say such heartless words.

For a moment, I forgot to hit the beam.

"Queen Mother, what did you say?"

Zhang Changzong looked at Wu Zetian with a pale face and swallowed.

Wu Zetian said lightly.

"Didn't you hit Liang Mingzhi? I won't stop you."

"Queen Mother!"

Zhang Changzong screamed sadly and rushed towards Wu Zetian, but was pushed to the ground by several Qianniu Guards halfway.

"Queen Mother, you can't do this to me. What did Weichen do wrong by taking medicine every day?"

"shut up!

Wu Zetian slapped the armrest and stood up suddenly, facing Zhang Changzong with a livid face.

"You actually have the nerve to talk about boiling medicine. Do you really think that I don't know the toxicity of poppy soup?"

"Silver snake!"

As soon as these words came out, the crying stopped suddenly, and Zhang Changzong looked at Wu Zetian blankly.

At this time, Fan Xin walked up to Zhang Changzong and said coldly with his hands behind his back.

"If you are just arrogant and domineering, I may not do anything to you."

"But you should never pretend to be Zhang Changzong and sneak into the Queen Mother."

"Remember, you can live if you do evil by God, but you can't live if you do evil on your own!"

Hearing this, Zhang Changzong suddenly laughed sinisterly and stared at Fan Xin with a look of resentment.

"Boy, do you think you can keep me with just a few guards?"

"To tell you the truth, there is no one in the world who can beat me..."

Bang!

The giant hammer came down, and silence returned to the hall.

Fan Xin kicked the unconscious Silver Snake, walked to the steps and cupped his hands.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the killer Silver Snake has been arrested and brought to justice. Please judge!"

Wu Zetian looked at Fan Xin, then at Zhang Changzong, and waved her sleeves in the expectant eyes of the ministers.

"Come here, take me to the inner prison for interrogation!"

"The Queen Mother is wise!" All the ministers shouted in unison.

Just when the ministers were celebrating for overthrowing Zhang Changzong, Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi looked at each other, and the latter stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, the treacherous ministers are like tigers and the ruthless officials are like wolves. Why not take advantage of the renewal of everything to get rid of the Senate in one fell swoop and bring justice to the people of the world?"

"Yes, countless ministers have died at the hands of Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen over the years. If they continue to be free, it will be detrimental to the country." Wu Sansi agreed.

As the two men spoke, the ministers stood up one after another and asked to kill Lai Junchen.

Although male favorites are hateful, they hate cruel officials even more, so they plan to get rid of Lai Junchen, the leader of cruel officials, in one go.

Looking at the crowd of ministers, Wu Zetian pushed the boat along.

"Forget it, just follow what you dear friends said, and arrest him as soon as he comes back..."

"Wait a minute, Queen Mother!"

"Fan Qing, you?"

Fan Xin gave a wry smile, cupped his hands and said, "Queen Mother, Junchen's hands are stained with blood and he deserves to die unjustly, but he has saved Weichen several times."

"I hope the Queen Mother will spare Junchen Lai's death for the sake of his conscience."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Zetian didn't say anything about the officials quitting.

"What you said, General, is wrong! Dozens of ministers have died at the hands of Lai Junchen over the years. How can we explain to those wronged souls if we let him go?"

"That's right! After all, it's just a personal matter for Junchen to be kind to you. How can you use national laws for personal gain?"

Speaking of this, Wu Sansi spoke impassionedly to Wu Zetian.

"Your Majesty, the evil deeds committed by Lai Junchen are unforgivable and cannot be forgiven lightly!"

"I second my opinion!" All the officials bowed and shouted.

Wu Zetian glanced at Fan Xin: "These cruel officials have blood on their hands, and only death can wash away their sins.

"Pass the message, arrest Junchen immediately and bring him to justice for questioning!"

"Retreat!"

"Long live my queen, long live, long live!"

After the ministers came out of Shangyang Palace, Di Renjie came to Fan Xin and said with a smile.

"General, I should not say this. All officials are suffering from cruel officials, and there must be someone who takes all the blame."

"Lai Junchen is already a mortal man. You'd better stay away from him to avoid getting burned."

"Farewell!"

Watching Di Renjie leave in a sedan, Fan Xin took a deep breath and said to Liu Zi.

"Xiao Liu, let's go to the Guanfeng Palace to meet the Queen Mother!"
