Of course, Chen Yi thought that Wu Zetian and Helan Minzhi would put these sabotage activities on him, and knew that Wu Zetian would ask him about these things sooner or later. After receiving the order from Wu Zetian to enter the palace to narrate, he knew exactly what was going on and went there calmly.

"Zi Ying, I've been busy with things for a while. I haven't talked to you privately for a long time!" After receiving Chen Yi's courtesy, Wu Zetian signaled Chen Yi to sit down and spoke very kindly. "There is nothing to do in the Japanese palace today. I'll call you into the palace to talk about things. I really want to talk to you about what happened during this period!"

"If you have anything to do, please give me your order!" Chen Yi also said as if he was not aware of it.

Wu Zetian glanced at Chen Yi and asked with a faint expression: "Zi Ying, I asked you, what do you think about the petition of the people?"

"Empress, I think that the Empress has been in charge of political affairs for the past few years and has been very appropriate in her efforts to take charge of the advanced emperor and the current emperor. It is reasonable for the people to petition you to be the emperor!" Chen Yi said, looking up, showing a strange smile at Wu Zetian, and then said: "It's just that that I think this matter seems to be someone who has done it deliberately, gathered a group of so-called people and performed a play! This matter is not only true. Many ministers in the court have similar opinions to me, and some even say that it was done by the empress dowager!"

Chen Yi's statement was really shocked by Wu Zetian, and he didn't know what to say at once.

The fight broke out quickly, after Helan Minzhi's hands, the riots caused were suppressed, and Wu Zetian also ordered Di Renjie to not disclose this to anyone. However, she thought that with the friendship between Chen Yi and Di Renjie, the two of them would still be open to this matter. She sighed and said, "Is it the Secretary of Di who told you what happened?"

Chen Yi sneered in his heart, thinking that Di Renjie would say what happened. He knew best, but his expression continued on his face: "Empress Dowager, no, Shangshu Di did not tell me about this. It was my own guess. You may not know about Empress Dowager. Many ministers also have the same idea as me!"

"It's so!" Wu Zetian was a little embarrassed. After looking at Chen Yi twice, he finally decided to explain the matter to him: "Zi Ying, I didn't tell you in detail about this matter! I won't hide it from me today. These things were indeed caused by Minzhi. He asked to do these things to build momentum for the ascension of the throne and emperor of this palace. He also did the gift of treasure maps!"

"Ah?! It's so!" Chen Yi was still a little surprised when Wu Zetian explained the truth to him so bluntly!

"I didn't want you to know these things at first. I was afraid that you would have a psychological burden or you would not support them, so I kept them from you. Think about it today, how can I hide such things from you? The Military Intelligence Agency is all responsible for it. What can I hide from you? Do you think so?" Wu Zetian said, staring at Chen Yi with his stunning eyes: " Rather than asking you to inquire secretly, it's better to tell you clearly, don't you?"

This made Chen Yi shocked, but because he had already made mental preparations before entering the palace, he immediately calmed down and asked in confusion: "Empress, what do you mean? I don't know anything. Although the Intelligence Agency still belongs to the Ministry of War, most of the affairs of the Ministry of War are handed over to Wei Yuanzhong. I just asked occasionally, let alone go to take charge of the Military Intelligence Agency in person! The Military Intelligence Agency is now in charge of General Du Xiaosheng, and I rarely contact him. I will not report anything directly to me, but to Wei Shilang!"

Wei Yuanzhong has already served as the Shilang of the Ministry of War. Of course, this is because Chen Yi recommended it. Most of the affairs of the Ministry of War are under his new Shilang. Chen Yi only listened to Wei Yuanzhong's report. Today, Wu Zetian said this, and he also used the distribution of affairs of the Ministry of War as a reason to explain, regardless of whether Wu Zetian believes or not!

Wu Zetian did not investigate this point, but just smiled and said according to Chen Yi's meaning: "Zi Ying, you are now in the right hand of the Minister of the Shangshu and also in charge of the Minister of War. Your power and status can be said to be less than ten thousand people. I have always relied on you as my right hand and favored you. In many things, you should help me, and not act against my ideas. OK?"

"I am so serious about the words of the Empress, of course I will not forget the favor of the Empress to me. Over the years, I have only followed the orders of the Empress!" Chen Yi said, showing a little sadness and looked at Wu Zetian with grievance: "I can't understand why the Empress said this today? I feel that the Empress is increasingly distrustful of me, and I hide many things from me. Even such important things are told me now!"

"Zi Ying, I just said that I just don't want you to have too much burden, I'm not distrustful of you!" Wu Zetian couldn't stand the grievance that Chen Yi showed in front of her, and his heart suddenly became soft and he said with a smile: "I have told you everything just now. Don't worry too much about anything. I will tell you everything in the future!"

At this time, Wu Zetian had no intention of ignoring whether Chen Yi was sabotaging those things. She felt a little guilty that she had not told Chen Yi about these things before and expressed her distrust of him. She couldn't figure out why this was the case. She only felt that Chen Yi's questioning her was very reasonable, and she felt a little guilty.

In the morning, when she talked about these things with Helan Minzhi and discussed who was making trouble behind her and pointed the finger at Chen Yi, she was extremely angry and wanted to scold Chen Yi severely and even seized all his official positions. However, when they saw Chen Yi, the two of them did not have any intimate behavior. Her original anger was eliminated, and only a little anger was left, and she was even afraid that Chen Yi would ask her again.

If you ask Chen Yi what the reason for this situation, Chen Yi certainly knows it, but he just won't say it.

Looking at Wu Zetian with a complicated expression, saying something a little insincere, Chen Yi asked a question without much thought and said something that would be destined to be very serious: "Empress Dowager, do you really have the plan to take over the current emperor and become the 95th Lord? Or is it just because my uncle Min is bewitched?"

This made Wu Zetian tremble and looked at Chen Yi in disbelief. He didn't expect Chen Yi to ask so bluntly and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that Wu Zetian didn't know how to answer, Chen Yi felt aroused and said in a thoughtless tone: "Empress, I know that Empress is just trying to manage the affairs of the previous emperor and the current emperor, and does not really want to replace it. Being the most ruthless in the world, this must be that Uncle Minzhi himself wants to be the crown prince. He encourages Empress to do such a despicable thing. Empress, you must think twice before you act. Don't be confused by Uncle Minzhi's sweet words! Empress, if you become the emperor, he is the only descendant of the Wu family, and the position of the imperial heir must be his, so he spares no effort to encourage you to obtain the throne..."

When the words are just right, they should stop and express their meaning, so Chen Yi will not say it.

He believed that what he said was true, and probably Wu Zetian knew this, but he just didn't look at it.

Chen Yi did not want to say bad things about Helan Minzhi in front of Wu Zetian, but he had a little hope, that is, Wu Zetian could "stop the cliff" and just want to be the emperor. In the current situation, he would prevent Wu Zetian from ascending the throne no matter what. If Wu Zetian really became the emperor, his son, who is now praised for the throne, would have a miserable fate, and he would not allow this situation to happen.

No matter whether Wu Zetian is his lover or something, even his wife, he will not allow his son's status to be threatened. If Wu Zetian really insists on his own, he will not give up on stopping it with extreme means.

But he hopes to let Wu Zetian use the means of persuasion, so that the two people will not have a grudge between them, and their private affairs have lasted for so many years. If there is a fight or even a war, no matter who wins, it will be a tragedy. If it can be avoided, try to avoid it. While Wu Zetian has not made a final decision, he will advise him a few times!

Chen Yi's words made Wu Zetian speechless. What was this? She told him the matter clearly, which was to show that she had this meaning. She instructed Helan Minzhi to do those things. She told Chen Yi that she hoped that Chen Yi would come to help her and help her complete the plan to become a god in the future. However, she did not expect that this guy pretended to be confused and said this, ridiculed her, and scolded Helan Minzhi. It can be said that his anger suddenly rose in Wu Zetian's heart. It turned out that this guy opposed her to obtain the throne, and he still trusted him so much.

It was not concealed that the anger in his heart was now, and said coldly: "Zi Ying, do you believe this is just the reason for Min's bewitching?"

"I believed it before, but I didn't believe it after that!" Chen Yi immediately changed his tone and said embarrassedly: "It turns out that the Empress Dowager really has this intention, I am very surprised!"

Since she had already said this, Wu Zetian was also angry and did not want to play such Tai Chi games with Chen Yi anymore. She asked directly: "Chen Yi, I want to ask you, what attitude do you have in this matter? I want to ask you again, are you making trouble in the past matters?" She then remembered that the real purpose of summoning Chen Yi to the palace to ask questions today. When she thought of this matter, she was very angry and could almost confirm that it must be Chen Yi's doing something behind the scenes and ruining her good thing! The idea of ​​punishing Chen Yi severely!
