The north bank of Luoshui, Taichu Palace.

On the Jiuzhou Pond in Taichu Palace, the pond water covers an area of ​​ten hectares, with a depth of more than meter. Birds and fish swim and flowers grow. The pond is bent and round, shaped like the Jiuzhou Continent of the East China Sea. The clear canals linger on the continent, and the bamboo and wood are green.

The Yaoguang Hall on Jiuzhou Pond is gorgeous and magnificent, with three eaves, dragon-shaped golden pillars, transparent flower lattice windows, flying eaves, shaped red powder, mandarin tiles, green scales, and rainbow bridges are stacked north. Each brick, tile, grass and wood are all ingenious, and they are all craftsmanship.

With a burst of hearty laughter, Wu Zetian slowly walked out of Yaoguang Hall.

At this time, the golden crow had sunk, the moon was rising, and the two rows of palace lanterns shone in front of the hall as daylight, clearly illuminating her face: the back of Wu was wide-faced, her eyebrows were slender, and her eyes were round and round. The silk shirt with open chest, golden silk swayed around her shoulders, and there was a sense of softness in her grace.

The Empress Wu had the skills to keep her face. Although she had children and grandchildren, she was an old woman in her sixties, but she looked like she was only in her forties. At this moment, there were two bright red on her fair cheeks, as if she was drunk because of drinking, but her eyes were clear and bright, and there was no trace of hazyness.

Wu Zetian stood on the steps and said enthusiastically: "I asked Dr. Shen to make a bowl of wine and sober up, and wait in the bedroom. I went to the peony bush to take a candle and scatter the wine."

With the order, dozens or hundreds of lamp trees were lit in the peony bushes outside Yaoguang Hall. The lights were lit together, and the lights were lit up to meet the water and the stars in the sky. Two rows of palace maids walked forward with the lights on their heads. The Martial Artsman spread his arms, leisurely down the hall steps, and walked into the peony bushes.

The palace lantern in front is tall, and the feather fan behind him is swaying. The twelve palace maids are lined up in two rows, moving their lotus steps lightly to follow each other. The skirt of the Wuhou who was walking in the middle is gently pouring on the ground, winding more than three feet, as if the Queen Mother descended to earth.

Wu Zetian loves peonies. Luoyang has many varieties of peonies, all of which are famous species. After careful cultivation by gardeners, many varieties can bloom in spring and autumn. Even in winter, blooming peonies can be cultivated through a warm cellar. Walking through it, the flowers are blooming and the fragrance of flowers is everywhere, which makes people feel refreshed.

Wu Zetian was in a good mood. He drank tonight and the ministers were in harmony with their poems and essays, which made him even happier.

Nowadays, fewer and fewer people dare to oppose her in the court and the opposition.

I remember that in the first year of Guangzhai, there was another Xu Jingye who had been brave enough to rebel. Although she was defeated by her soldiers in just two months, Xu Jingye led several cavalry to break through, wanted to go to sea to cross the east and defect to Goryeo, but was also killed by his mutiny subordinates and asked her for credit and surrender.

Afterwards, the royal princes of the Li Tang royal family, including King Han, King Huo, King Jiangdu, King Lu, King Yue, King Guo, King Fan Yang, King Langya, etc., were forced to rebel by her. In just a few days, she was wiped out one by one by one by one by her who had been prepared.

After the royal family was executed one after another, her status became increasingly stable. Although some ministers in the court had strange ambitions, they could no longer come up with any tricks without the banner of the royal family of the Li Tang Dynasty.

Recently, there have been often auspiciousness in the country. Today, another local county magistrate reported auspicious omen, saying that the rooster in a local farmer's home actually lays eggs, and auspicious omens are endless. This is what the people want, so Empress Wu naturally feels very happy.

Empress Wu walked in a row, beside her, accompanied by a young man wearing a moon-white round neck robe and soft feet. The man cut his shoulders and waist, and his figure was as slender as a crescent moon. His spiritual temperament was as crystal clear as a jade slip, warm and beautiful.

If the Empress Wu is a blooming rich peony, the person who is by Empress Wu is a fresh, timeless, fair and beautiful lily in the valley. At a glance, you will feel a faint fragrance of books coming to your face. This person is Shangguan Wan'er, who is trusted and valued by Empress Wu.

Shangguan Wan'er held Wu Zetian's arm and said softly: "Xue Huaiyi, the chief general of the Xinping Army, has sent a memorial today, saying that the traces of the Turkic Khan Gudulu had been found, and led a large army of 200,000 to pursue them."

Wu Zetian smiled happily and said, "I originally intended to send this great merit to Ashi, but unfortunately his former troops arrived in Zihe, but the Turkic army fled without fighting. I hope that this time he can catch up with Gu Dulu and make a great merit back."

Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "Master Xue is brave and will definitely not disappoint the expectations of the queen."

Wu Zetian smiled slightly and asked, "What else is there?"

Shangguan Wan'er said lightly: "There is another thing. After Xu Jingye was executed, his younger brother Xu Jingzhen has been absconding and has never been brought to justice. Recently, he fled north to Dingzhou and wanted to defect to the Turks. He was arrested by Dingzhou Prefecture's police. He is now on his way to Luoyang. Dingzhou Prefecture has submitted the file for interrogation..."

"Um?"

Wu Zetian glanced at her, and Shangguan Wan'er walked closer and said, "Dingzhou Prefecture said that after arresting Xu Jingzhen, he had interrogated him. Xu Jingzhen confessed that it was the secret support of Luozhou Sima Gongsiye and Luoyang Order Zhang Siming who helped him escape to Dingzhou."

Wu Zetian stopped and a cold murderous intent appeared between his eyebrows: "Zhang Siming! I was heartbroken and entrusted him with the position of Luoyang Order. I didn't expect that he was distracted from me! Good! Good! Very good! Since my kindness cannot be obtained from his loyalty, then use a knife and an axe to take out his sincerity!"

Wu Zetian slapped his eyebrows and said to Shangguan Wan'er: "After Xu Jingzhen was imprisoned, he was arrested, and then handed over to Zhou Xing for interrogation. Xu Jingzhen fled for many years and has never been brought to justice. The people who secretly helped him must be not only Gong Siye but Zhang Siming!"

Shangguan Wan'er understood it and quickly responded: "Yes! Wan'er will report to Zhou Xing to know tomorrow morning."

Wu Zetian said "um" in a low voice and continued to move forward, but his interest was no longer there.

Outsiders only know that Wu Zetian is not as good as men. What they see is always Wu Zetian's domineering and revealing side, but they don't know that she is still a woman after all, and women always have some emotional moments.

When she thought she had won the hearts of the ruling people and no one dared to resist her publicly, she suddenly found that Zhang Siming, whom she favored and valued, had betrayed her. This woman who controls the whole world became obviously depressed.

"This is the person I promoted, why do you betray me? Just because I am a woman? Why can't a woman be in the world?"

Wu Zetian sighed angrily, but she looked at her with flowers, but she was no longer interested. Seeing that she was not in high spirits, Shangguan Wan'er advised softly: "The queen is tired, so let's take a rest earlier! The morning court tomorrow will be done."

"Um!"

Wu Zetian nodded, relaxed her sleeves and said, "Set up and return to the palace."

Wu Zetian just turned around and a sudden change occurred.

The palace guards scattered among the flowers, like mushrooms scattered on the grassland. Their positions seemed loose, but in fact they had already protected all the ways of coming from Empress Wu from all directions. At this time, in the left shoulder of Empress Wu, ten feet away, a guard called out, and then disappeared under the flowers and plants.

His screams were very loud and short, as if a burst sound had just burst out from his throat, but before the sound was formed and the breath had already rushed out of his throat, he forced himself back, so he seemed extremely strange.

Although the sound was strange, it was not loud. However, because Empress Wu was in a low mood, no one dared to speak loudly. The peony garden was extremely quiet, so they still heard it even though they were ten feet apart.

Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the sound. Another short and strange sound was about to vomit but not to vomit. This time they saw with their own eyes a soldier Youran was missing in the flowers and plants. The soldier's position was only eight feet away from the Queen Wu.

Then, there was another exclamation. This time, because the soldier was alert, the exclamation came out of his throat, and only half said: "There is..." and it ended abruptly, this time it was only six feet away from Wu Zetian.

Shangguan Wan'er was tall. She saw the peony flowers that suddenly split and split left and right. It seemed that a giant python as thick as a bucket was rushing in in the middle, with branches splitting and petals flying.

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but be shocked and shouted in a sweet voice: "Protect the car!"

Shangguan Wan'er shouted loudly, and the well-trained soldiers approached one after another, surrounding the Martial Arts Queen within four feet of the distance, as if a copper and iron wall was cast in an instant.

"Peng!"

A bunch of flowers exploded, and the peony flowers as big as a bowl were mixed with countless branches like a column of water, surging up to two feet high, and then turned into colorful rain of flowers in the sky, falling down one after another.

In the rain of flowers and petals, a light green figure rolled up. After a sudden pause, it turned into a stream of light and moved towards a corner of the guard wall.

The guards at that position just closed, but the lower plate was still unstable.

"drink!"

Although the guards from that angle had just joined the siege, the well-trained and highly skilled guards reacted very quickly. They shouted in one voice and slashed at the light blue figure together.

The horizontal sword has a single-sided edge, a thick spine and a thin blade, a straight spine and a straight blade, which is extremely sharp. The Japanese samurai swords of later generations followed this knife. The horizontal swords used by Gongwei are all top-grade in hundreds of refinements, sharp and bright, and are urged without any firmness.

With four-handed knife, one slashing the neck, one sting the belly, and one sweeping the leg, the figure shot in an instant will break into a net made of steel swords and be crushed to pieces by it.

As he was about to meet the first knife, the light green figure suddenly fell, and with a "slam" sound, the four of them drew their swords, and they were about to change their attack. The figure jumped up from the flowers and rolled up from the neatly graceful peony flowers that the craftsman in the palace were swept across like a windmill, with a figure only a gap from the pretty top flowers.

The pale green figure rolled all the way. The person who stood in front of the four guards was screaming and knelt on one knee on the ground. His calves were pierced by the other party's sword, and blood gushed out from the two wounds in front and back. The assassin was too fast. It was not until this moment that he noticed that the blood was gushing out and the sound was heard.

Note: Of course, Wu Zetian was not called Wu Zetian at this time. In fact, Awu had never called Wu Zetian. In history books, she was originally just a Wu family, and she didn't even have a name. Perhaps there was one, but it was not recorded in history books. After she became a talented person, Li Shimin gave her a name: Mei, called Wu Mei.

After she became emperor, she invented the word "Sun and Moon" in the sky: Zhao, named Wu Zhao. At present, her real name should be Wu Mei. Wu Zetian was a substitute for her descendants from her honorable title of Zetian Emperor. In the article, it is called Wu Zetian because of the reading habits that everyone has always formed.
