When Chen Yi walked into the Xianju Hall, he saw Wu Zetian and Helan Minzhi sitting opposite each other, and the two were speechless.

But the depressed faces of the two told Chen Yi that they had already negotiated the result and surrendered to his military power.

This made Chen Yi feel relieved. After getting along with Wu Zetian for so many years, he knew her rough temper.

If Wu Zetian encounters something, she has no excitement and just sits quietly, which means that she is confident or will naturally not exert force. The difference between the two can be seen from her expression. If she sits silently and looks calm, it is a sign of confidence in her heart, but if she is listless and has no light on her face, it means that she has "accepted her fate" in this matter.

Of course, Wu Zetian's performance today is the latter.

In fact, everyone in the three people present knew that they had already used the imperial guards to siege Xianju Hall, and the ending was destined not to be happy, and there would always be people who were happy and some were worried. Judging from the current situation, Chen Yi must be happy, and Wu Zetian and Helan Minzhi were worried.

Seeing Chen Yi coming in, Helan Minzhi stood up in anger, stood up and walked aside, stood facing the window, ignoring Chen Yi.

Chen Yi didn't care either. After bowing to Wu Zetian, he stood still and asked, "Empress Dowager, I am summoned to wait for your orders!"

"Minzhi, you go out first!" Wu Zetian, who was so calm, ordered Helan Minzhi to wait aside in a calm tone.

Helan Minzhi, who had not turned around, said stubbornly: "No, aunt, Minzhi won't go out. Minzhi wants to be here. I'll finish your words! I want to see how my good brother-in-law forced you to agree with his shameless request!"

"Okay. You are here, listening to us finish our words, it doesn't matter!" Wu Zetian did not insist, ignored Helan Minzhi, turned his head to Chen Yi, and said without any emotion: "Chen Yi, I know that you have already made the Yulin Army generals Daming Palace and Tai Chi Palace fully mastered, and some ministers in the court's court's brothers also sent Jinwu Guards to guard everything they did today. You have already planned..."

Wu Zetian waved his hand and signaled Chen Yi who wanted to interrupt. After Chen Yi closed his mouth tactfully, he continued to say: "Since you have made plans for a long time, no matter how much I plan with Minzhi. As long as you continue to lead the Yulin Army and Jinwu Guards and use your strength to stop it, there is no possibility of success in this palace and Minzhi. I regret it very much and did not remove your position first!"

Wu Zetian said, aiming at Zhengqi and standing. After hearing her words, he aimed at Helan Minzhi here, sighed and said, "If I listen to Minzhi, I will first remove all your ministry. There will be no such thing as today! Even if Minzhi is in charge of the imperial guards, it will be much better than yours. But I can't make up this decision. Chen Yi, do you know why?"

Chen Yi didn't have time to answer. Helan Minzhi, who was on the other side, snorted angrily: "Auntie, you are too fond of Chen Yi, you follow him in everything. Now you will eventually raise a tiger. If you had listened to Minzhi's advice, how could this happen today?"

Helan Minzhi said this, and Chen Yi didn't know what to say at once. He sighed and closed his mouth.

Wu Zetian seemed to ignore Helan Minzhi's cold and cold sarcasm, staring at Chen Yi in a daze, with indescribable sorrow in his eyes. After sighing, he said, "Chen Yi, I regret it very much, I regret treating you like this! But it's already like this, and regretting it is useless!"

"Empress Dowager, I have always supported you. As long as you don't want to be emperor, no matter what you do, I will not object!" At this point, Chen Yi naturally could not say anything. He said helplessly: "When the Empress Dowager had this intention, I clearly expressed his opposition. I objected for the sake of your good fortune! In this case, the Empress Dowager can be said to be not very different from the emperor. You have the final say in the court, and most of the court officials will obey you! But after the news of your desire to be emperor spread, the ministers all complained to you. Even if you have not taken this step officially, the ministers will be disloyal to you!"

Chen Yi said, looking at Helan Minzhi who was speaking with his back on his back, looking out the window with his eyes, and smiling sarcastically: "The poor performance of uncle Minzhi made the ministers even more disinterested in the Empress Dowager. Everyone knows that the so-called auspicious signs are man-made, and even the petitions of the people of the people were deliberately made to let court officials and the people of the world see them. When everyone knows that these things were done by uncle Minzhi, the Queen Mother wanted to be the emperor, which is not known to everyone in the world? It can be said that what uncle Minzhi did for the Empress Dowager was doing worse!"

After hearing Chen Yi say this, Helan Minzhi turned around again and looked at Chen Yi angrily, but couldn't speak!

It is true that he did not do those things well, and he was scolded by Wu Zetian many times for this, but he knew that it was because Chen Yi was behind him.

It’s not much point to scold Chen Yi for making trouble. He almost became a prisoner, and he could only endure being ridiculed by Chen Yi.

"Minzhi did not do those things well!" Wu Zetian agreed with Chen Yi's words, twitched his mouth, and showed a very ugly smile, "Chen Yi, if you help me, I believe it will definitely be better than Minzhi! If you both help me, then any idea of ​​this palace can be realized! I originally hoped that you two can always support you unconditionally, but I didn't expect..."

Seeing Wu Zetian sighing and stopped, Chen Yi immediately took it over: "Empress Dowager, I have always supported you. As long as you don't take the court, you want to be the emperor! Also, you don't use any means to deal with me! I have done this to myself. If someone wants to deal with me, no matter who it is, as long as I find me, I will definitely try my best to fight back. If the other party endangers my life and my family, or my family and I will lose everything now, then I will definitely take the initiative to take the initiative, such as today's thing!"

"Empress Dowager, uncle Minzhi, I know that if I acted one step late, you will definitely take all my positions and even scoop me to jail, right?"

"It should be!" Wu Zetian said expressionlessly: "Originally, I was discussing with Minzhi to remove all your positions so that you have no ability to move! Minzhi also suggested that if you want to be emperor, you must lift your stop! You will be the most powerful supporter of our palace's emperor, but if you object, you will be the biggest stumbling block! It's a pity that I can't make up my mind!"

At this point, Wu Zetian's eyes that seemed to have tears were staring straight at Chen Yi, and a pitiful look was flowing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Yi's words that originally wanted to sarcastically choked in his throat and couldn't spit it out.

Seeing that Chen Yi's expression was a little strange, Wu Zetian smiled miserably. His eyes left his face and said quietly: "Chen Yi, since you don't want me to continue to rule the court, I promise you that I will no longer be concerned about the court affairs. Be a idler with peace of mind! Just..."

"The Empress Dowager just say anything you want!" Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to say these things to Wu Zetian in front of Helan Minzhi. Wu Zetian's last few words could be said to have surrendered to him, which made him a little excited and nervous.

He was very afraid that Wu Zetian would say something ugly, and even exposed some of the scandals between them, which would be difficult to deal with.

Wu Zetian surrendered, which means that this time, which was not very fierce but far-reaching in the battle, he achieved complete victory. From then on, the world of the Tang Dynasty belonged to him and no longer belonged to Wu Zetian.

Things were going in the direction he expected. Everything was just as planned.

Wu Zetian agreed and would definitely put forward many conditions. Chen Yi thought that no matter how excessive the conditions Wu Zetian raised, he would satisfy her.

"It's just that I want to know, what do you want to deal with me and Minzhi?" Wu Zetian only hesitated for a moment and asked the question she wanted to know the answer most.

Chen Yi looked at Wu Zetian, glanced at Helan Minzhi, who was standing with his back on his back, and was listening with his ears on his back. After thinking for a while, he said, "Of course the Empress Dowager will continue to live in the palace. I will report to you in person for any court affairs and ask you for your advice. In the future, the little emperor will ask you for advice! It can be said that in my plan, the Empress Dowager's life will remain the same as before and will not be changed!"

These words surprised Wu Zetian and asked in disbelief: "Chen Yi, are you fooling me?!"

"Empress Dowager, how is it possible?" Chen Yi said with great certainty: "Of course, the Empress Dowager must always live in the palace. You have been in charge of the court for so many years, and no one can compare to the prestige in the court! Only when you are in the palace can the court be stable and the order of the Tang Dynasty will be maintained!"

"So that's it. You have a deeper purpose!" Wu Zetian seemed to understand what was going on. He sighed and nodded, and did not ask again, but he showed his silence in his eyes.

Chen Yi glanced at Helan Minzhi on the side and said again: "Minzhi's only successor to the Wu family, I believe the Queen Mother also hopes that Minzhi can continue the glory of the Wu family. I think that Uncle Minzhi should have been crowned with the king for a long time. I think the Queen Mother will not refuse to agree to the request requested by Uncle Minzhi and grant him the title of Prince. I think no minister in the court will have any objection! Uncle Minzhi's title of Queen Mother can of course continue to stay in the court and continue the glory of the Wu family!"

Chen Yi's disposal to Helan Minzhi made Wu Zetian surprised again, and stared at Chen Yi with a little disbelief, but he quickly understood what Chen Yi meant in the end. Whether it was her or Helan Minzhi, he could only be a decoration in the future and would no longer have the ability to influence the government of the Tang Dynasty. They could get a lot of glory, but they were all empty and had no actual influence.

Thinking that she had worked hard for so many years and the final result was picked by Chen Yi, Wu Zetian felt sad, but she did not have the urge to scold Chen Yi angrily. She just felt very tired and wanted to rest with her eyes closed for a while, not thinking about anything!

Of course, Helan Minzhi was also surprised, and he was a little suspicious that he had heard it wrong.

Chen Yi treated him like this, not giving him any punishment, and allowed him to continue to maintain his previous glory. Although everything is in name only and the real power will never be obtained again, this is much better than what he thought, it will eventually become a prisoner!

Is Chen Yi kind?

"Chen Yi, I will feel relieved if you say this!" Wu Zetian saw Helan Minzhi's doubts and said to him: "Minzhi, don't worry too much! Let's go back to the house first to avoid your wives and concubines' concerns!"

"Yes, aunt! That Minzhi is back home first!" Helan Minzhi walked over obediently, bowed to Wu Zetian, and looked at Chen Yi again.

Of course, Chen Yi has to say whether he can go out!

Seeing this, Wu Zetian sighed slightly and ordered Chen Yi: "Chen Yi, go and give instructions. I guess Minzhi cannot do without the palace like this. You will also go to rest later. I don't want to say anything else. I want to have a good rest. You will deal with the rest yourself. I must have already had a way to deal with it. I will not take care of which ministers can be retained and which ministers will be demoted. You should do it yourself! Tomorrow morning, I will use the Queen Mother to express my orders. Tomorrow morning, I will come here to listen to my orders!"

"Yes, the Queen Mother!" Chen Yi also stood up obediently, bowed to Wu Zetian, who had been closed, and walked out of the hall.

At Chen Yi's instructions, several palace maids went into the hall and served Wu Zetian to sleep.

----------

The next morning, Chen Yi read out Wu Zetian's Empress Dowager's Order at the court meeting.

On the grounds that he was in poor health and needed to rest for a long time, Wu Zetian said that he would no longer interfere in court affairs from now on, and all court affairs were handed over to the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, who assisted the young emperor. It was recommended that the Minister of Shangshu Chen Yi be appointed as the Minister of Shangshu to preside over the court affairs, and all ministers would assist together.

It was also at this court meeting that Chen Yi, who was supported by all the ministers, was appointed as the Secretary of State for the Procuratorate and was awarded the title of King of Liang, becoming the chief minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Pei Xingjian continued to serve as the Minister of Shangshu Left Pushe, and appointed Zhang Jianzhi as the Secretary of Shangshu Right Pushe, Di Renjie, Xue Yuanchao as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, Wei Xuantong, Cen Changqian as the Minister of Personnel, Luo Binwang as the Minister of Personnel, Wei Yuanzhong as the Minister of War, Wang Jie as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Pei Yan as the Minister of the Yellow Sect, four of them were the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and Wang Bo as the Minister of Works, Li Jiao as the Minister of Justice, Su Liangsi as the Minister of Rites, and Fan Lubing as the Minister of Revenue.

He also appointed Ge Fuyuan as the Minister of the Secretariat, Yuan Wanqing as the Minister of the Yellow Gate, and Song Jing and Yao Yuanchong as the Minister of the Secretariat.

The generals of each border town were also greatly mobilized. The Minister of Military Affairs Wang Fangyi was renamed as the Protector of Anxi. The newly established Beiting Protector was Li Youdao, the assassin of Shaanxi Province, and the General of Right Martial Guard Zhang Xuanyu was renamed as the Protector of Andong. Another Minister of Military Affairs Li Zhaode was renamed as the Protector of Xining Protector of the Ministry of Works Yang Zhirou was renamed as the Protector of Annan. Among the six major palaces of the Tang Dynasty, only the Protector of Anbei was not renamed, and Mangbu Branch was still responsible for it.

The six major vassals had a large number of soldiers. In order to prevent chaos from occurring in the border, Chen Yi naturally thought of changing these major vassals.

Some people are promoted, and naturally some are lost or demoted. Many ministers who have gained the trust of Wu Zetian and fully supported Wu Zetian to seize the throne and become emperor are either dismissed or demoted, or exiled!

Helan Minzhi was removed from his post and was no longer in the Political Affairs Hall. However, he was awarded the title of Prince of Taiyuan and was entrusted with a special promotion, with a fief of 500 households. Anyone knows what happened like this. Helan Minzhi ended in defeat in the battle with Chen Yi, but Chen Yi did not kill him.

Li Jingxuan, the prime minister who had always supported Wu Zetian, was demoted to the governor of Youzhou, and Qiu Shenji was appointed as the general of the Right Wuwei, and demoted to Songzhou Sima, Zhou Xing, Suo Yuanli, and Lai Junchen, all of the famous cruel officials in history, were removed from office and exiled to Anxi, and were not allowed to pardon or return.

Li Xian, the King of Luling, who was exiled to Fangzhou and died of illness, was chased by the court as King Si and buried with Qianling as a prince.

Under Chen Yi's special order, although there was no big trouble, all the imperial guards and guards guarding the city gates of Chang'an were mobilized. How could such a large-scale movement be hidden from the court officials who had been in trouble for so many years? Most of them were panicked, fearing that a bloody purge would come and that they did not know what the charge was brought to their heads.

However, the progress of the situation was beyond everyone's surprise. No bloodshed happened, and not many ministers were severely punished. The only ones who were severely punished were Li Jingxuan, Qiu Shenji, Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen and others. However, some people who were originally very prestigious in the court have lost their power since then, just like Helan Minzhi, the nephew of the Empress Dowager, was only given a special free position and went to his free-standing prince.

Because he had mastered most of the troops inside and outside Chang'an City, Chen Yi had the upper hand in this coup that took the lead and did not even encounter any setbacks or problems. He eventually forced Wu Zetian to hand over power and agreed to his suggestion to take charge of the Political Affairs Hall with the Secretary of the State Council and assist the young emperor in handling the affairs of the court until the emperor could take charge of the rule.

After Wu Zetian announced the resolution to stop interfering in politics, Chen Yi also organized his own "cabinet" vigorously and resolutely. The prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall changed part of it, and promoted those who were very capable and were very capable into the Political Affairs Hall, and also placed outstanding people in important positions. It can be said that the Tang Dynasty did not experience severe turmoil due to this coup, which was not very disturbing. The turmoil only lasted for a very short time. Those who continued to be officials continued to perform their duties and work diligently as usual.

Of course, Chen Yi also had further actions. The military mastery was of course the most important part. Generals whom he did not trust were replaced one after another. The military and political aspects were praised, and there would be no trouble.

After Chen Yi took the position of Shangshu Ling, he was still very worried, because he was afraid that all the ministers would not accept it and chaos in the court. Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary, and the court was worry-free! The court was worry-free, and many of the country-governing plans he had drawn up by summarizing the experience of later generations will be implemented one after another!

He fully believes that history has turned a new page and that the next era belongs to him!

Two women with very special identities and status in their original history also belong to him!.)
