Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 116 It’s time to go to war

"I will bear in mind your majesty's teachings. Please rest assured, your majesty. I will do my best to protect the stability of the empire's borders."

Li Sheng said solemnly.

"very good!"

Wu Zetian nodded, then glanced at the other people in the court, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said:

"There is one last task for you. This time, I want you to go out to various regions to pacify these foreign barbarians and promote the prestige of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

When all the civil and military officials heard this, they were excited and bowed down one by one.

Wu Zetian nodded with satisfaction, then glanced at the civil and military officials, and finally settled on Yang Yanzhang: "Yang Yushi, you will be in charge of this campaign to various countries!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

Yang Yanzhang knelt on the ground.

There was a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "The wait is finally here!"

……

The preparations needed before going out were tedious. Yang Yanzhang didn't want to think of himself as a high-quality talent. How could he go back and do such a thing? So when he saw what he had to prepare one day, he became confused. Later, he became more and more agile. Throw away the shopkeeper.

this day.

Yang Yanzhang was sitting in the courtyard of the mansion drinking tea. Suddenly, he frowned slightly and looked up at the door. A man in black walked into the courtyard.

"who?"

"assassin!"

Yang Yanzhang stood up suddenly.

However, as soon as he drew the sword out of its sheath, the man in black snatched his sword away, and with a backhand stroke, blood splattered.

The man in black chopped off Yang Yanzhang's right arm with a sword, blood spattered everywhere, and screams could be heard far away.

The maid in the room screamed in fright and hurried out.

Yang Yanzhang covered the wound with his left hand, fell to the ground in pain, and said in horror: "Who are you? We seem to have never met, why do you want to take my life!"

The man in black snorted coldly, threw the sword on the ground, turned around and left, quickly disappearing into the night.

Yang Yanzhang stared at the departing figure, gritted his teeth and said, "Sooner or later, Yang will take back the shame of today!"

After that, he picked up the sword that fell on the ground, quickly bandaged it, and then ordered his servants to send him to a doctor outside the city for treatment.

And he rode a horse and ran straight out of the city.

"drive!"

……

"Unbridled! Too unbridled! At the foot of the Imperial City, people are buying and killing people. Investigate! Investigate them strictly! No matter who it is, whoever is involved will be executed immediately!"

In the imperial study, Wu Zetian was so angry that she threw the pen in her hand to the ground and cursed fiercely.

Below, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of Rites, Zuo Pushe and Right Pushe, were mumbling and did not dare to speak.

The royal guard commander knelt below.

Wu Zetian took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions: "Get out of here!"

"I will retire at the end!"

When the guard commander heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly exited the imperial study.

After the guards left, the imperial study fell into silence.

After a while, Wu Zetian's eyes slowly returned to normal and she picked up the brush to write again.

"Your Majesty, your injury!"

In the imperial study room, a eunuch couldn't help but remind him.

Wu Zetian shook his head and said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter!"

If the dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty had seen this scene, they would have been extremely surprised.

After all, Wu Zetian was not like this before.

Wu Zetian has always been a strong, domineering, dictatorial emperor who never allowed anyone to interfere. Even as parents, Wu Chengsi and Samurai Mei were not qualified.

But at this moment, she actually behaved so tenderly in front of her eunuchs and maids, which was shocking.

But Wu Chengsi and Samurai Mei may not know that all this is just an appearance.

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded outside. "Your Majesty, Changsun Wuji wants to see you!" A voice sounded outside the imperial study.

"Xuan!"

"Xuan Zhang Sun Wuji comes to see you!"

Wu Zetian frowned slightly and said calmly.

Soon, Changsun Wuji walked in from outside the hall.

But it was different from usual. His face was pale, he looked extremely weak, and he even staggered when walking.

"Chang Sun Wuji pays homage to His Majesty!"

"Free gift!"

Wu Zetian said indifferently: "Does the eldest grandson Aiqing know?"

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what happened last night has made people and gods angry."

Wu Zetian waved her hand and interrupted Changsun Wuji: "I don't want to hear these words about people and gods being angry. Just tell me, how long will it take to solve the case?"

Changsun Wuji was silent for a while, then raised his head and asserted: "Seven days, solve this case in seven days."

"Seven days?"

Wu Zetian frowned.

"Seven days to solve the case? Are you sure you're not joking?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, according to what I know, this case is not an ordinary vendetta. Moreover, the opponent's strength is extraordinary, and he is definitely not an ordinary figure in the world!"

"Oh?"

After hearing Changsun Wuji's explanation, Wu Zetian's expression changed slightly: "Changsun Aiqing means that there is a force hidden behind this?"

"Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly what it is!"

Changsun Wuji said respectfully: "The opponent's strength is extremely terrifying. I am brave. I hope that your majesty will protect me carefully, so that I can investigate the case thoroughly with confidence."

"Okay, I promise you. But you don't have to worry. As long as I'm here, you can just handle the case with confidence!" Wu Zetian nodded and said solemnly.

"I thank your Majesty for your trust!"

Changsun Wuji said quickly after hearing this.

Wu Zetian waved her hand, signaling Changsun Wuji to step aside first, and then continued to immerse himself in reviewing the memorial.

"call!"

After Changsun Wuji left, the entire palace seemed to fall into silence, and a sense of depression filled the air, making people almost suffocate.

……

Time flew by, and soon it was late at night.

Changsun Wuji came to arrange Yang Yanzhang.

"Yang Yushi, Your Majesty heard that you were assassinated and ordered me to solve the case. I am here to learn the details of your assassination." Changsun Wuji looked at Yang Yanzhang who was lying on the bed.

"Assassination!"

Yang Yanzhang looked dazed and murmured to himself: "No wonder those two knives were so cruel. It turned out they wanted to kill me!"

"Assassination?" Changsun Wuji frowned, then sighed and comforted: "Relax, Yang Yushi, this matter will definitely come to light. Your most important task now is to recover from your injuries!"

Yang Yanzhang was silent when he heard this, and a handsome face appeared in his mind.

"Brother Yang!"

Yang Yanzhang clenched his fists, and his eyes flashed with strong hatred: "You not only ruined my family, but also wanted to kill me! I, Yang Yanzhang, swear that we will never forget each other in this life."

……

On the other side, in the palace.

A child ran over in a panic: "Master! It's not good! It's not good!"

The child ran out of breath.

"What happened, you yelling?"

Wang Rui opened his eyes, looked at the panicked child and asked.

"Your Majesty is furious and has ordered Prime Minister Chang Sun to investigate the matter thoroughly."

Listening to Xiaotong's words, Wang Rui's face flashed with panic.
