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

Chapter 88 Wu Zetian: Give death to two nephews!

Wu Zetian, who was persuaded by Yang Yanzhang, although he did not take immediate action against Wu Chengsi, he arranged a crime that would kill Wu Chengsi.

"Yang Yanzhang, those people bought by Granny Zan will not be used lightly unless absolutely necessary. You can find a way for me to make all these people reveal themselves to me!"

Wu Zetian slapped the table and roared angrily.

Yang Yanzhang only smiled softly: "This matter is also simple. Tomorrow let Qu Zhenyun tell Zan Po that there are too many artillery shells and ask him to find someone to help transport them out. Zan Po will naturally find someone again. He will definitely not ask Wu Cheng for such a small matter. Hey, don't worry about catching one or two more people when the time comes."

"Only one or two??" Wu Zetian was obviously dissatisfied and vowed to catch all the scum in the court.

But Yang Yanzhang was speechless: "Queen Mother, even if there are such people, there won't be many of them, especially here in Luoyang! If there were really many, Luoyang would have been in chaos long ago."

This inference was very different from what Wu Zetian had thought about before, but out of trust in Yang Yanzhang, Wu Zetian didn't say much.

"Then, let's arrange it like this! We can catch as many as we can!"

……

Qu Zhenyun had a really busy night. After getting advice from Yang Yanzhang, he pretended to go out of the city and into the mountains to load artillery shells in the middle of the night. In fact, he loaded several carts of inferior artillery shells that the court had made before, and after dawn, he drove them outside Luoyang City. .

In order to test Zanpo's skills, Wu Zetian specially arranged for Wang Xiaojie to guard the city gate.

So Qu Zhenyun found Po Zan again in a dignified manner.

"Your Majesty the Envoy, Wang Xiaojie is guarding the city gate today. He works carefully. I'm afraid the cannonballs won't be able to pass through!"

Po Zan frowned when she heard this: "Can't we just go outside the city?"

"It's even more unsafe outside the city! If you go in the city, at least there are people who can help you. If you go outside the city, there are countless spies from the court. If someone suddenly comes out to investigate, isn't everything going to be over?"

Zan Po was helpless, frowning and thinking for a while, then she relaxed: "Give me some time, I will try to make arrangements."

Qu Zhenyun was not in a hurry and went directly back to his house to wait for the news from Zan Po. As for the cannonballs, he was not worried about being inspected. After all, he was just acting and was not really reselling the important weapons of the Tang Dynasty.

Wu Zetian, however, had already sent someone to secretly keep an eye on Po Zan, and soon he saw Wu Chengsi engaging with Po Zan again.

Although he didn't know what the two said, Qu Zhenyun got the news from Zan Po in the evening of that day and knew that he could pass.

"Yang Yanzhang! Go and see if Wu Chengsi really dares to put the cannonball over on my behalf!"

Wu Zetian was furious at this time. Only she and Yang Yanzhang knew that these shells were defective, but the uninformed Tibetan envoys and Wu Chengsi thought they were extremely powerful shells!
Under this situation, if Wu Chengsi still dares to take the initiative to release the artillery shells, then he is really finished this time.

Yang Yanzhang did not hesitate, and directly pretended to be a commoner at the city gate to observe secretly.

When Qu Zhenyun passed the city gate, Wang Xiaojie saw so many carriages lining up to pass by, and immediately sent someone to check out of habit.

As a result, at this moment, Wu Sansi, the Minister of Rites, walked out. "General Wang, the Prime Minister has invited me to discuss something with you."

Wang Xiaojie frowned and said, "The general is busy with official duties, so it's hard to leave now."

But Wu Sansi laughed and said: "The prime minister is invited, it may be a big deal! If you are late and delay the national affairs, then you can't afford to suffer! In this way, I will help you keep an eye on this place, you go quickly Just answer it."

Wang Xiaojie thought about it and felt that there was no other good way, so he could only say thank you and leave.

Here Wang Xiaojie's subordinates wanted to check, but were stopped by Wu Sansi: "The Queen Mother has been working hard recently and killed many traitors. She was praised by both the government and the public! If you interrogate the people like this, aren't you going to bring infamy for the Queen Mother?"

Everyone knew that Wu Sansi was a relative of Wu Zetian's family, so no one dared to say anything and just let him go.

Zan Po was also in the city, watching the cannonballs enter the city, pass through the city, and finally arrived outside the west gate of Luoyang. Zan Po's face showed a look of ecstasy!
Seeing that no one else showed up, Yang Yanzhang could not help but sigh: "This incident is a bit serious! Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi are both nephews of the Queen Mother, but they were both involved in this matter. Will I Are you jealous of the Wu family?"

In fact, Yang Yanzhang did not want to get rid of the Wu family. Wu Zetian is now in power. The best situation is for her to take control of everything as quickly as possible, so as to avoid someone always coming out to cause trouble and making the people uneasy. She can stabilize the fundamentals of the situation. , naturally the help of relatives in the family is indispensable.

If Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi are killed this time, then Wu Zetian will lose two helpers, which will give people who support the Li family hope to make a comeback. When the war breaks out, it will be the people who suffer.

But now that the matter has come to this, Yang Yanzhang has no choice but to take one step at a time.

Seeing that things had come to this, Yang Yanzhang decisively entered the palace and told Wu Zetian everything he saw and heard.

Wu Zetian's face was expressionless, as if she had been hit with doubts about life.

"Wu Sansi! Another relative of this palace! The Wu family are all naturally rebellious people!"

Feeling that Wu Zetian seemed to be laughing at herself, Yang Yanzhang comforted him: "Whose family doesn't have a few incompetent people? Qin II, Yang Guang, etc. are everywhere. The Queen Mother does not need to worry about this."

"But I have obtained many magical weapons, and I am about to ascend the throne, but something like this happened! Everyone in the government and the public knows that the Wu family is like this, so how will I deal with myself in the future? Aren't I going to be criticized every day?"

Yang Yanzhang did not want this matter to become a big deal: "Except for Zan Po and the Queen Mother Yu Chen, almost no one knew about it! The Queen Mother later dealt with the two of them privately and made up a reason for the public, and the matter will naturally be over. Forgive me. Yan, the reputation of these two people is average, even if there is any accident, no one will care about it, and they may even be a little happy."

Wu Zetian instinctively felt disgusted with Yang Yanzhang's words: "Yang Yanzhang, that is my nephew! How can you talk like that?"

Yang Yanzhang was not afraid: "If Yang Jian knew Yang Guang's true identity, he would have killed him long ago to avoid future troubles. What's more, they are just two nephews of the Queen Mother! The longer they stay, the greater the harm may be! The Queen Mother must be wise and know these truths. "

Wu Zetian snorted, but did not complain again.

After a moment of silence, Wu Zetian took a deep breath and calmed down: "I'll leave it to you to do this! Take my decree and kill the two of them! Externally, I will say that the two of them suddenly contracted the disease. , died suddenly!"

After saying that, Wu Zetian had already written two edicts, clearly stating the two people's crimes, and she wanted them to die convinced.
