Chapter 131 The frightened Chen Guodong
Chen Guodong knelt on the ground and trembled, saying in a trembling voice: "The Queen Mother Mingjian, this matter has nothing to do with the ministers! This is all framed by Yang Yanzhang!"

"Ha! Framed?" Yang Yanzhang snorted coldly: "I, the royal censor, will frame you?"

Chen Guodong was sweating on his forehead and said hurriedly: "The humble minister has been wronged, but the Queen Mother is aware of everything..."

"Shut up!" Wu Zetian glanced at him coldly: "How could the Ai family believe you! Since you have done it, you must bear the corresponding responsibility. Someone, drag Shilang Chen down and kill him with a stick!"

Chen Guodong's face was pale. After all, he was just a civil servant. He usually relied on flattery and flattery to be able to work as a minister.And his family members also benefited from him and enjoyed many benefits, so they also helped him.If he died, his wives and concubines would also die.

Chen Guodong shouted: "The Queen Mother has mercy on me, I am unjust!"

But no one paid any attention to him and quickly tied him up.

"No, don't. Please spare my life, Queen Mother."

"Help me, Queen Mother!"

After Chen Guodong cried a few times, he finally collapsed.

He doesn't want to die, he still wants to live.

He gritted his teeth and glared at Yang Yanzhang, saying, "All this is just one-sided words from this boy. Queen Mother, please don't trust the sycophant!"

Chen Guodong hated Yang Yanzhang in his heart. If he hadn't been this person, why would he have incurred the disdain of the Queen Mother, why would he have ended up in this situation, and why would he have lost his life.

"Chen Guodong, you should worry about your life. Don't forget that you are still in prison."

"Yang Yanzhang, you little slave! I will never let you go!"

Wu Zetian waved his hands impatiently, and the nanny beside him immediately rushed in and blocked Chen Guodong's mouth.

Chen Guodong could only struggle desperately, but his body was weak and unable to resist at all.

Yang Yanzhang said calmly: "The Queen Mother is wise."

Wu Zetian looked at Chen Guodong, who was like a dead dog at this moment, without any mercy in his eyes: "Come here, drag this boy down and take him into custody temporarily."

Yang Yanzhang was stunned for a moment. He had clearly written it clearly in his memorial, and he immediately wanted to speak again: "The Queen Mother."

"Shut up! Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know who the Qinghe Cui family is that you are suing? If you really offend them, I won't even be able to protect you."

Wu Zetian interrupted Yang Yanzhang directly before he could speak.

After all, the Cui family in Qinghe is too important. Among other things, this large family has lasted for hundreds of years. In the current civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty, at least dozens of people are from the Cui family.

Although Wu Zetian has always been thinking about suppressing the family, this suppression is actually under the condition that she can still sit on the throne, rather than flipping the table and everyone stops playing.

Yang Yanzhang didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the matter at this time, and still said loudly: "I thought it was just a Cui family in Qinghe."

At this time, even Shangguan Wan'er's expression changed.

Shangguan Wan'er said quickly: "Master Yushi, think twice!"

Yang Yanzhang said disdainfully: "Why do I need to think twice! So what if I sue the Cui family today? I really don't believe it. Can this Cui family really confuse right and wrong and be unreasonable?"

"presumptuous!"

Shangguan Wan'er shouted sharply.

"You are the one who is presumptuous!" Yang Yanzhang said tit for tat: "The Queen Mother is wise and wise, and she is the Supreme Being of the Nine Five Years. How can you allow you to question her holy decree?"

Shangguan Wan'er remained silent.

She knew that Yang Yanzhang was not wrong. Given the nature of the Queen Mother, she would definitely care about the face of the Cui family in Qinghe.

When Yang Yanzhang saw this, he became even more arrogant and shouted: "So what if I sue the Cui family of Qinghe, am I still afraid of the Cui family of Qinghe?" "Wei Chen implores the Queen Mother to severely punish the Cui family."

Looking at the impassioned Yang Yanzhang in the audience, Wu Zetian smiled, and then an idea came to her mind.

"It's late today. I'm exhausted. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

After saying that, he waved his hand and sent Yang Yanzhang away.

The next day, morning morning.

When Yang Yanzhang stood up to impeach the Cui family in Qinghe, even Di Renjie was full of disbelief, thinking that Yang Yanzhang had been sealed.

And this time the impeachment also directly caused a stir in the Golden Palace.

After all, the Cui family of Qinghe now has one person who is a highly respected minister, Cui Yuanzong, the Cui family of Qinghe, who is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Cui Yuanzong glanced at Yang Yanzhang and said nothing. After all, it was a bit embarrassing for him to end up arguing with a little censor.

But just because he can endure it, doesn't mean that the rest of the Cui family can endure it.

Cui Cheng, the complementary minister, stood up and glared at Yang Yanzhang.

"Shuzi dare!"

Yang Yanzhang looked at Cui Cheng coldly and said sarcastically: "I think you are the one who should reflect. As a descendant of the Cui family, you help the emperor do evil and don't repent. How can you have the face to serve our court?"

When Cui Cheng heard this, he was trembling with anger: "You are talking nonsense!"

"You know whether I am talking nonsense or not!" Yang Yanzhang was aggressive.

"Yang Yanzhang, you are just a small censor, but you dare to speak nonsense in front of the court. Aren't you afraid of annihilating the nine tribes?"

"Exterminate the nine tribes? Haha, my ancestors of the Yang family once led an army to attack the royal city of Goguryeo during the war, beheading more than [-] enemies. Even if all nine tribes of my Yang family were implicated, it would still be worth it, unlike some People who hold high positions, covet wealth and honor, collude with foreign vassals to plot rebellion and usurp power, causing harm to the country and the people!"

He must have colluded with foreign vassals and destabilized the country. Even Cui Yuanzong couldn't bear it.

Cui Yuanzong smacked Long An: "How dare you slander me and frame me!"

Yang Yanzhang said coldly: "The right and wrong are clear to the Queen Mother. Your Majesty, please tell me clearly!"

Wu Zetian looked at the noisy ministers below and said slowly: "Quiet!"

The entire Golden Palace was instantly silent.

Wu Zetian said slowly: "My dear friends, I will know if what Yang Yanzhang said is true or false. I will know after checking it. Yang Yanzhang, do you dare to let me investigate the Cui family in Qinghe?"

Yang Yanzhang said loudly: "I am willing to cooperate."

Yang Yanzhang's words made Cui Yuanzong and others curse secretly.

Yang Yanzhang's recommendation was nominally to do justice for heaven, but in fact it was to roast them on the fire. This was simply pouring dirty water on them!
For this kind of slander, even if Wu Zetian doesn't punish Yang Yanzhang, they all must look good to him!

Wu Zetian said: "Instruct the Minister of Punishment to send people from Dali Temple to investigate the matter. In addition, starting from today, the responsibilities of the Tingwei Mansion have been expanded and are responsible for supervising the duties of the Six Sections Gallery, the Household Section and the Minister of Staff."

"The minister leads the order!"

Wu Zetian handed over the Tingwei Mansion to Yang Yanzhang. Even Yang Yanzhang himself found it strange that he suddenly had such bad luck and was promoted by Wu Zetian.

But none of this matters.

Yang Yanzhang's only concern now is how to completely impeach the Cui family in Qinghe!
