Daming Palace, Xianju Hall.

Wu Zetian, who was lying on the couch in the closed inner room, was talking in a low voice to Chen Yi, who was sitting opposite him.

Because if you want to say something very confidential, all the palace servants were shut off. Chen Yi was more casual than usual. He tilted his body and sat opposite Wu Zetian with his eyes not honest. He glanced at the scenery of Wu Zetian, whose breasts were half exposed because he was lying down. Wu Zetian also noticed Chen Yi's insincere eyes, but he did not blame him at all, and let Chen Yi look at his beautiful face very generously.

However, Wu Zetian's spring light leak and Chen Yi's occasional sneak peeks are just a small episode of today's talk. What the two are going to talk about today is quite important. After a few words of mixed feelings, they will officially enter the topic.

"Ziying, I want to ask you, what should I do about those who are in the palace who forced me to make the prince the prince this time?" Wu Zetian said in a faint tone that this matter was destined to be very heavy.

Chen Yi had long expected that Wu Zetian would talk about this matter to him, so he had carefully considered it in the past two days and had a certain degree of communication with Pei Xingjian. After hearing Wu Zetian say this, he said after a little thought: "Empress, I think you must have your own considerations on how to deal with this matter. However, since the Empress asked, I dared to say a few words. If there is something wrong with what I said, or if I missed the Empress, I would also ask the Empress to whisper and not push me out to spank!"

"Ah?! You..." Wu Zetian didn't expect that Chen Yi would make such a joke with her when he was talking about such a serious matter. At the end, he laughed again and nodded with his fingers hatred. Chen Yi said: "When is it now, and you still haven't forgotten to talk to me. Okay, even if you say that, I won't scold you no matter what you say!"

"Empress, I think it is enough to punish all ministers involved in this matter to differently, and to kill chickens and monkeys!"

"Oh?!What do you mean?" Wu Zetian was a little surprised, sat up, and stared at Chen Yi in a daze.

Chen Yi faced Wu Zetian's gaze without avoidance, and said with a smile: "Empress. They did this, and they were indeed dissatisfied with your years of intervention in the court affairs. They wanted to keep you away from the court affairs by supporting the prince ascending the throne and no longer let you interfere in major affairs of the court affairs. This matter is indeed very serious. Empress, you need to take severe measures to eliminate some people and make them no longer able to influence the court! I agree with this approach. However, I also think that if the Empress changes her mind slightly and starts from another perspective, she can make a different decision!"

"Say whatever you want!" Wu Zetian seemed to understand Chen Yi's meaning a little, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Empress, I think after this incident, I don't want the Empress to punish me. These ministers will resign or apologize. I think this is a good time for the Empress to build momentum for me. I can severely reprimand those younger ministers. They can be demoted and removed from office, but the older ministers can use the grounds that they have made great contributions to the court to pardon their sins, retain them, and allow them to continue to serve in their original positions. In this way, everyone thinks that the Empress's mind is unparalleled, and this move can attract more people's hearts." Chen Yi kept paying attention to Wu Zetian's expression. After seeing a slight praise on Wu Zetian's face, he felt completely relieved. He finished speaking and ended with a polite sentence: "Empress, this is what I think. I don't know if it is recognized by the Empress. If the Empress thinks that I am wrong, please do not blame me~!"

Wu Zetian did not express his opinion immediately, but put away his expression and asked in annoyance: "Ziying, are you pleading for these people?"

"No!" Chen Yi quickly shook his head, "I don't have much interaction with them. I just think that these people are usually quite famous, and many of them are prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall. All of them are responsible for the heavy responsibility. It will cause a big storm in the court, causing panic, not conducive to stability, and also want the Empress to attract more people's hearts, so I suggest this! This is just my personal idea. If the Empress does not agree with me, then I will pretend that I didn't say it!"

"Oh, you're still angry?" Wu Zetian said in surprise: "What do you mean is that I must obey your opinion?"

"No!" Chen Yi knew that Wu Zetian was just joking and teasing him, and didn't care too much. He laughed twice and said, "Since the Empress asks me for my opinion on such a major matter, I must not ignore my own opinions. As for how to make the final decision, of course, it is the Empress who has the final say. That's all, no matter how brave I have, I dare not ask the Empress to obey my ideas. Am I asking for death?!"

Chen Yi's half-joking words made Wu Zetian roll his eyes, but she immediately laughed: "Stinky guy, he actually talks like this, just like a person with a very small temper! Haha, but what you said is still reasonable. Let me think about it even more!"

"Empress, that's the matter, I'm leaving!" Chen Yi was also very tactful. Although Wu Zetian was in front of him today, he would not have any ambiguous love affair with her in such an extraordinary period. It would be better to leave early!

Wu Zetian did not try to keep him, but just as Chen Yi got up and walked over, he asked again: "Ziying, who do you think should be added to the Political Affairs Hall in the future?"

After hearing Wu Zetian ask him such a major question again, Chen Yi had to stop and turn around, but did not answer the question directly. He just shook his head and said, "Empress, I really can't answer this question. This matter is too serious. You should consider it yourself. Anyway, the Empress will not throw me to that place. I will definitely choose some ministers with high moral character, ability and reputation. Hehe, I will take it back first. Tuan'er is about to give birth. I have to go and see it. I don't know if she will give birth to a son or a daughter for me!"

This made Wu Zetian's face change in vain, and she felt a little hatred. She resented Chen Yi to value Wu Zetian so much, but his unhappy expression disappeared immediately, and he turned into a calm look: "Ziying, then you go first, take good care of Tuan'er. When she gave birth, you also say to her, rest well for a few months before returning to the palace. This palace cannot live without her at this time!"

"Yes, Empress, I will leave!" This time Chen Yi did not give Wu Zetian another chance to continue asking questions, opened the door and walked out quickly.

After Chen Yi left, Wu Zetian fell into deep thought alone.

----------------------

Wu Tuaner gave birth to a daughter for Chen Yi, weighing 70% and 80% of all. Although Chen Yi had a lot of sons and daughters, he was still overjoyed.

However, Wu Tuaner looked sad. At this time, no one could change the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. Whether it was a wife or a concubine, they all hoped to give birth to a son for their husband's family. If the mother was a son, her status in the husband's family would be different. Especially for a woman like Wu Tuaner who had a special status and had not yet obtained a formal title, she dreamed of giving birth to a son for Chen Yi!

When Wu Tuaner saw that he was born was not very happy, and shed a few tears. However, after seeing Chen Yi's love for his daughter, he also felt joy and asked Chen Yi to name the child.

After Chen, this is the name given to Chen Yi for his daughter, so naturally, the Wu Tuan, who had just become a mother, also liked it.

Wu Tuaner's affairs have been known through Wu Shun's mouth to the wives and concubines. Although Helan Minyue and others were angry at Chen Yi's flirting with her, they finally defeated their will and agreed to take Wu Tuaner back to the house. Wu Tuaner's childbirth was carried out in the wife of Wei, but there was no announcement. Her daughter Chen Hou was also treated the same as other children. Although she still had no status and had to return to the palace after a period of time after giving birth, her daughter was accepted first, which still gave her a lot of comfort.

That is, when Chen Yi was busy taking care of the Wu Tuaner, he jointly submitted a memorial to request Wu Zetian to make the crown prince Li Xian the emperor, Dai Zhide, Hao Chujun, Zhang Wenguan, Li Yiyan and other heavyweight ministers submitted resignations to the court within almost the time, and made a request for retirement based on their health, energy and their mistakes, hoping that the court would agree to their resignation from their current positions and return home to retire.

Several ministers almost resigned as soon as possible, and at this time Wu Zetian had not made a decision on how to deal with them.

To the surprise of most ministers, after receiving the resignation from these ministers, Wu Zetian did not make a decision immediately, but announced the decision to handle the decision at the court meeting three days later. She did not accept everyone's resignation, but made her own decision to handle the decision.

Wu Zetian's decision also surprised many people. She did not severely blame Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenguan, the two old ministers, but only blamed their reckless behavior at the court meeting, causing them to reflect on their reckless behavior for a period of time and fined them several months of salary. It can be said that Wu Zetian tried to retain the resignation of Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenguan, and did not intend to blame them for their crimes. Some other ministers who also proposed resignation also tried to retain them. However, for Hao Chujun and Li Yiyan, two much younger prime ministers, Wu Zetian still punished Hao Chujun as the governor of Diezhou and Li Yiyan as the Sima of Liuzhou. The two prime ministers were demoted to other places to officials, and their ranks were greatly reduced, which still made people feel cold. The anger of the Empress of the Heavenly Queen is very terrifying!

Many people were demoted, and some other ministers of relatively low rank were also demoted. However, this was much better than most people expected. Some people speculated that some people would lose their lives. This incident did not die, which made many people feel good about Wu Zetian's generousness, especially those who had just gained their value. It can be said that as Chen Yi expected, she attracted some people's hearts. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better and faster!
