Chapter 82: The first strike is stronger

Chen Yi expected that Wu Zetian or Helan Minzhi would act on him, but he did not expect that everything would come soon, and something that he had never expected happened in a blink of an eye!

Wei Xuantong was taken to prison.

Chen Yi was shocked when he received the news.

This was something he had never expected no matter what. Wei Xuantong, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the third rank under the title of the Secretariat and ranked in the Political Affairs Hall, would be taken down by Zhou Ju, the newly promoted Dali Temple Shaoqing and thrown into prison.

Wei Xuantong was secretly taken to the prison. No news had been revealed before. Chen Yi knew about this at the first time because he laid a lot of eyeliners and figured out why this happened. After understanding the situation, Chen Yi knew that this was a signal that Wu Zetian began to clean up and wanted to pave the way for his ascension to the throne and becoming emperor.

However, it is also possible that someone is doing what Wu Zetian wants to do under the banner of Wu Zetian.

According to the reason why the secret spies reported to Chen Yi: Wei Xuantong said in private discussions with others that many people now have the heroine who is the one who is in charge of the world and wants to investigate such desensive things. He also said privately that since the empress dowager can abolish Meng Ming, how can she still need to come to the court to rule again? If the empress dowager returned to politics earlier, the world would have been stable and Emperor Li Xian would not have ended up like this.

Wei Xuantong said this because Jia Dayin, a member of the Ministry of Personnel who had a good personal relationship with him. He was quoted as his confidant. He still said this when he had eaten wine together and had eaten some food. However, he did not expect that after hearing Wei Xuantong say this, Jia Dayin immediately reported to Helan Minzhi. Helan Minzhi, who was as if he had obtained a treasure, immediately entered the palace and told Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian just sighed: What Wei Xuantong quoted is now a heart that he has to do with me!

Helan Minzhi understood the truth and immediately asked Wu Zetian for an order, saying that he would handle the matter.

After Wu Zetian's tacit approval, Helan Minzhi immediately instructed Zhou Xing, the young minister of Dali Temple who was appointed as a heavy position after he was recommended, secretly took Wei Xuantong down at night and put him in the Dali Temple prison. During the capture of Wei Xuantong, all the investigators strictly abide by the discipline and acted very quickly, without any interference. Wei Xuantong's family was not implicated, and Zhou Xing led his men to take Wei Xuantong down.

Chen Yi reported this incident about an hour after Wei Xuantong was taken to the Dali Temple prison by Zhou Xing, and at dawn, he clarified the whole story of the whole incident.

After thinking hard for about an hour and a half, Chen Yi had a countermeasure and immediately asked someone to prepare for the horse. He wanted to go to the palace to find Wu Zetian.

However, the result of entering the palace was very surprising. Wu Zetian was not seen by Chen Yi or anyone else because he was in a state of illness.

This made Chen Yi's anger ignite in an instant.

He had long expected that Wu Zetian would attack him or his confidants. However, he did not expect that Wu Zetian would act so quickly and defeated Wei Xuantong, who was one of the most important figures in his group, so easily. The charge was just a few words in private.

Of course, Wu Zetian knew that Wei Xuantong was highly valued by him and was promoted year by year because of his amazing talent and ability. He can be regarded as one of the most important powerful generals in his small group. Now that he has taken action, it shows Wu Zetian's attitude.

Chen Yi valued Wei Xuantong very much, but his personality also gave him a headache.

It can be said that the honest personality of the ancients was well reflected in Wei Xuantong. He would speak up for justice in many things.

Of course, other people also have this behavior, and they still firmly believe that it is not that Chen Yi is not completely dependent on Wu Zetian.

Although these people all knew that Chen Yi was favored by Wu Zetian and finally became a prime minister, they stubbornly believed that it was because of Chen Yi's outstanding talent that Wu Zetian looked at him differently and entrusted him with the entrusted attention.

They also learned from the situation where Chen Yi and Wu Zetian were together over the years, and some of Chen Yi's usual words, that is, Chen Yi did not agree with Wu Zetian's rule in power, especially since Li Chongrun became emperor, which was particularly obvious. Chen Yi hoped that only a few ministers would assist Li Chongrun until the young emperor became an adult. Therefore, Wei Xuantong, Zhang Jianzhi and others would criticize Wu Zetian from time to time.

These criticisms are naturally what they say in their hearts. To be honest, who would like to see a woman in charge of such a powerful Tang Empire? The Tang Dynasty belongs to the Li family. As the daughter-in-law of the Li family, Wu Zetian has been in charge of the government ministers who have been in charge of Li Zhi for many years. Everyone hopes that Wu Zetian will retreat behind the scenes.

The prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall assisted the young emperor, which was better than Wu Zetian, who had been in charge of the Tang Dynasty for decades, to handle the affairs of the court.

Now it is rumored that the heroine will take over the world, and many people, including them, are very worried, and are afraid that Wu Zetian will really take the opportunity to handle the affairs of the little emperor. Wei Xuantong, who is honest by nature, was not too surprised to say a few words when he drank too much with his friends. But unexpectedly, Jia Dayin, who was despicable, reported to Helan Minzhi privately in order to have a chance to get promotion.

Chen Yi knew that Helan Minzhi was afraid of his power and had long wanted to find an opportunity to weaken his power. Of course, Wu Zetian also had this kind of mind, but hesitated and did not want to show it. Now that he had such an opportunity, Helan Minzhi certainly would not give up. After bewitching Wu Zetian for a while, he naturally got the consent of Wu Zetian who wanted to accomplish great things. It can be said that in this matter, Wu Zetian and Helan Minzhi joined forces to deal with him. Today, Wu Zetian was unwilling to see him in his illness, and even explained everything clearly.

Of course, Chen Yi would not give up. No matter what, Wei Xuantong would have to save him. Not only would he save Wei Xuantong from death, but he would not even be punished on this confidant who was in charge of the prime minister, otherwise he would make other confidants disunited and disappointed him.

He wants to change from passive to active, and even take the opportunity to make a counterattack he didn't want to do now, so that his opponent's strength would be weakened a little.

He immediately wrote a memorial, asking Wu Tuaner to find a way to hand it over to Wu Zetian, and mobilized several other people who were close friends with Wei Xuan to write memorial, and handed it over to Wu Zetian one after another, putting pressure on Wu Zetian.

Wei Xuantong only talked about it after drinking, but there was no other manifestation of disloyalty to the court over the years. Over the years, the Tang Dynasty has gradually pursued the idea of ​​governing the country without being convicted of words. As the prime minister, Wei Xuantong only talked about it after drinking. Of course, he cannot be convicted, and you cannot be arrested and imprisoned in secret. If the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall can be secretly arrested by officials of Dali Temple, then the court will not be in chaos.

However, due to Chen Yi's surprise, after several memorials written by several people were handed to Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian did not deliver any news, nor did he summon Chen Yi to the palace for questions. However, Helan Minzhi went in and out of the Xianju Hall several times to discuss matters with Wu Zetian. Moreover, Helan Minzhi was in charge of Wu Zetian's order and arranged some other matters. According to Xiaoyu's news, Helan Minzhi suggested that Wu Zetian immediately replace some of the imperial guards generals to avoid chaos in the palace. Wu Zetian seemed to have no objection to Helan Minzhi's suggestion, but only said that she should seriously consider the candidate issue.

This made Chen Yi further feel that the situation was serious. Without any hesitation, he immediately summoned all his confidants to discuss matters.

Just as he was waiting for his close friends to arrive, Chen Yi had already made a choice. He had to choose one of the several plans he had prepared before. Although the current situation is not very critical, if it really becomes very critical, it would be too late to respond!

He has to take action first! Since he is targeting the opposite, he will be to the death immediately, and the best choice is to start first!

Chen Yi immediately ordered his confidants in the palace, including those who possessed the imperial guards, to take their seats. For anyone who dared to break into the imperial guards' defense zone without authorization, he would kill them. After all the confidants arrived, he made detailed arrangements!

After the people gathered were prepared and the people gathered dispersed, Chen Yi went to the palace to invite Wu Zetian to meet again, but he was still not allowed to see him, and even the Wu Tuaner was driven out.

Wu Zetian asked Wu Tuaner to go back to his house to rest for a few days. After the rest, she asked him to go to the palace to serve.

Chen Yi could only sneer at this statement to Wu Zetian. He did not continue to stay in the palace. After sending some special instructions, he immediately left the palace and immediately brought about two hundred subordinates of the Xianbei people whom Murong Nuo Bourd gave him. He ordered Cheng Wuting to bring a group of imperial guards, then pulled Di Renjie, the Minister of Justice, and rushed towards the Dali Temple yamen with murderous aura. He wanted to steal people from Zhou Xing.

Since Wu Zetian had made such a move, he expressed his grievances to him and did not hesitate to condemn the prime minister of the dynasty because of his words. Then he didn't mind making the court confusion, so he would show up with Wu Zetian directly. He took the initiative to do the best. He didn't want to do those powerless actions and let others slaughter them. He would not fight for the trapped beasts until the situation was very good and could control it.

The little emperor Li Chongrun is his son. For his son, even if he bears a bad reputation, he will clean up the Chaogang and refresh himself. This time he will be cut off directly. Wu Zetian and Helan Minzhi took action, and he took the action and returned a sharp move at an extremely fast speed, keeping them so that they can't come back to their senses. If Wu Zetian ordered the removal of the imperial guards in the palace, then it would be too late for him to do anything he wanted to do.

Di Renjie followed Chen Yi uneasy to the Dali Temple prison. He couldn't figure it out, and his colleague Wei Xuantong was imprisoned.

After Lao Wei was imprisoned, Chen Yi would have such a fierce performance.

Di Renjie, who was deeply educated by the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, could never have the rebellious mentality of Chen Yi. In his imagination, since he was convicted by the court, the only thing he could do was to hope that after the request of other ministers, Wei Xuantong would be sentenced to misdemeanor, rather than fight violently.

He didn't know that Chen Yi's plan was no longer simple. Since Li Chongrun was promoted to the throne, their "leader" had a desire to take the initiative and had long been planning to use force to eliminate several major forces in the court, including Wu Zetian and Helan Minzhi.

Today's action is just a prelude. For the next period of time, fierce confrontation and even bloody conflict may continue to take place, and after this incident subsides, things will be clear.

Chen Yi believed that if he won, the general trend of the world would go in one direction, and everything would be prepared for Li Chongrun's future rule; but if he failed, many people, including the little emperor Li Chongrun, might have a miserable fate, and the world of the Tang Dynasty might fall into the hands of Wu Zetian and Helan Minzhi.

Although there is a possibility of failure, Chen Yi is very confident that he will definitely succeed. The world of the Tang Dynasty will eventually fall on his son, Li Chongrun, and he will act as a regent and other role, affecting the development direction of the Tang Dynasty for decades.

However, he would feel guilty about Wu Zetian and Helan Minzhi.
