Chapter 133
Yang Yanzhang acted very quickly. In the middle of the night, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple sent people to the Yang family to pick up people.

However, this time Yang Yanzhang rejected the investigation by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. He believed that this was a conspiracy of the Cui family in Qinghe and deliberately framed him, and requested that the case be continued to be investigated.

"Yang Yushi, the problem of the Cui family in Qinghe is really serious, involving hundreds of lives. If such evil deeds are allowed to develop, wouldn't it be dangerous for everyone in the world? Such evil spirits should be eliminated as soon as possible. Lose!"

Yang Yanzhang said plausibly: "If this cancer is not eradicated, the whole world will suffer."

"But the Cui family in Qinghe is so powerful that we can't do anything to them." Someone said.

"Don't worry, we can't touch the Qinghe Cui family, but we can force them to admit their mistakes." Yang Yanzhang said: "If they are willing to admit their mistakes, that's it. Anyway, the Qinghe Cui family has been sealed up, and they can't escape the involvement. But. If you are unwilling to admit it, then you are disobeying the decree and disrespecting it!"

"This...but the Qinghe Cui family has a deep background, even the emperor has to be afraid. Do we dare to force them? What if we anger the Qinghe Cui family?"

Yang Yanzhang smiled and waved his hand, telling his colleagues not to worry.

Yang Yanzhang said: "This is what I want you to help with. Starting tomorrow, we will transfer the conflicts to other things. There is no need to target the Qinghe Cui family. After all, the Qinghe Cui family has nothing to do with us."

"Good idea, we just have to keep an eye on the others."

"Yes, as long as it doesn't involve the Qinghe Cui family."

Yang Yanzhang's suggestion spread quickly.

Suddenly, everyone in the government and the public was rejoicing. The Cui family in Qinghe had always been a hidden danger to the Tang Dynasty.

Faced with this situation, Cui Yuanzong, who was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, couldn't bear it anymore. This girl couldn't bear it any more. No matter how hard she endured, her house was stolen.

Immediately used thunderous means.

"Bang~~" Cui Yuanzong slammed the table and shouted: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

The Cui family has great influence in the court, especially since his father Cui Yuandao was once a member of the royal family tree. The Cui family of Qinghe, as the head of ten families with seven surnames, has never received such slander. .

Because of this relationship, Cui Yuanzong holds a high position.

Cui Yuanzong's actions immediately alarmed the royal family.

"Brother, I think it's better for you to shut up. I know it's hard for you to control the Cui family, but this matter has violated the law. If we don't take action, then we will allow the Qinghe Cui family to do whatever they want! The Queen Mother will not be able to spare us by then. Cui Yuanzong said in a deep voice.

"I know." Cui Renhai sighed softly, and then said: "I will go and explain to the Queen Mother, and I will not let you be punished."

The next day.

Cui Renhai entered the palace and asked to see Wu Zetian.

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother." Cui Renhai said respectfully.

"Aiqing is flat."

"Thank you, Empress."

Cui Renhai sat on the chair, hesitated for a while and then slowly said: "Queen Mother Qi, I heard that someone on the censorship stage recently impeached the Cui family?"

"Oh, do you know about this?" Wu Zetian said lightly.

"This" Cui Renhai said with an embarrassed smile: "I only heard about it recently. I wonder what the Queen Mother plans?"

Cui Inhai's tone revealed a hint of anxiety.

Wu Zetian saw in her eyes that she seemed to have guessed Cui Renhai's thoughts, so she said: "The Ai family intends to continue to investigate until the end, but doing so also takes risks."

"Risk?" Cui Renhai was stunned.

Wu Zetian nodded, and then said: "Although the Cui family in Qinghe is not a wealthy family, it has a deep foundation."

"Furthermore, the Cui family of Qinghe has connections with King Beiyan. If this matter is really exposed, the Ai family will not be able to protect you."

"This?" Cui Renhai's expression changed.

Wu Zetian added: "But the Ai family will try its best to protect you."

Cui Renhai said quickly: "Queen Mother, you don't have to worry about us. These few times, the ministers have also thoroughly investigated the Cui family and found a few bad apples."

"Since you are sure to deal with them, that's fine." Wu Zetian said.

Cui Renhai breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that if Wu Zetian ignored her old feelings, things would be in trouble. After all, Wu Zetian's current status was extraordinary and could not be shaken by ordinary people.

"In addition, the Ai family has another idea, which I hope Aiqing will support." Wu Zetian said.

"Please speak, Queen Mother."

Wu Zetian said slowly: "Since the Cui family in Qinghe is so arrogant and domineering, bullying the people and even killing good people, the Ai family is ready to abolish the Cui family's fame and honor and deprive them of the hereditary system. From now on, the Cui family will no longer be called a nobleman."

"what?"

"Queen Mother, please think twice!"

Cui Renhai was shocked when he heard this: "If this is the case, then the Cui family will be completely finished and cease to exist. Queen Mother, have you really decided?"

Wu Zetian nodded and said: "The Ai family has been thinking about it for a long time. If the Cui family in Qinghe continues to be so unscrupulous, it will threaten the Ai family sooner or later. The Ai family does not allow such dangers to exist. In addition to Cui Yuanzong, your Cui family has resigned now, and I still It can guarantee your prosperity for the rest of your life, just think about it."

"Then" Cui Renhai wanted to give some advice, but Wu Zetian had already waved her hand to stop him from continuing.

"You go back."

Cui Renhai sighed: "Old minister, farewell!"

He left, looking lonely and stumbling as he left.

After Cui Renhai left, Wu Zetian looked at Shangguan Wan'er who was standing on her left.

"Your Majesty is wise." Shangguan Wan'er cupped her hands and said.

The collusion between the Cui family and other aristocratic families could not be hidden from Wu Zetian, but Shangguan Wan'er did not notify Wu Zetian in advance, but chose to wait until the situation developed to an irreversible point before taking action.

Although Shangguan Wan'er is young, he has a strong political sense and he knows the value of Cui's family very well.

The Cui family is one of the ten families with seven surnames, and it also has the power to support the dragon.

It was already indestructible in the Tang Dynasty. Although this time they were accused of colluding with foreign countries, Wu Zetian still did not order the execution of the Nine Tribes, not because of anything else, but because she did not dare.

The court seems to be safe, but once Wu Zetian is determined to kill the nine tribes, she may become the target of public criticism in an instant.

The only thing that can be done is to bring down several important figures in the Cui family in the court.

This is the best result Wu Zetian can think of.

"Yang Yanzhang helped me a lot this time."

Wu Zetian looked at Cui Renhai leaving and smiled happily.

After experiencing this incident, as long as Wu Zetian was not stupid, she would place her own people at lightning speed.

By then, Wu Zetian's control over the court will reach an unprecedented height.

At this time, Yang Yanzhang, who was lying on the bed and preparing to sleep, suddenly heard a message in his mind.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission and a hot air balloon drawing will be rewarded. 】
