Chapter 2733 calm down
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it..." Yao Chong roared hysterically.
Zhang Qi looked at the old man in front of him who had served for twenty years, and a trace of pity appeared in his eyes.
However, this kind of eyes fell into Yao Chong's eyes, but it was full of mockery and sarcasm.
When did you fall into the trap and need a servant to sympathize with and pity?
"Don't look at me with that look. If you want to kill and cut, you will be punished! Don't expect me to beg you for mercy."
"Master, I dare not." Zhang Qi replied calmly: "And Your Majesty did not let the villain do anything to the master."
This is the biggest irony. Yao Chong blushed: "Did Wu Zetian be so contemptuous that he would be disdainful to kill me?"
At this moment, a person came in outside, a man who Yao Chong hated to the core, Wu Zetian.
"I'm not disdaining or not afraid. I want you to watch how much you and all the civil officials in the Shilin City will lose."
Wu Zetian stared at Yao Chong, wanting to say that she didn't hate Yao Chong?
That was obviously impossible. No one hates Yao Chong more than Wu Zetian.
This pedantic and selfish old man, Wu Zetian, wanted to crush him to ashes every night.
But until now, there was finally a chance, and Wu Zetian suddenly didn't want to kill him.
Because Wu Zetian asked Yao Chong to see how she won and how much would Confucian civil servants lose?
Wu Zetian asked Yao Chong to see how far the world will develop without the mercy of these literati.
"Wu Zetian, do you think I will give in?"
"Haha... Whether you admit defeat or not, I won, there is no doubt."
Wu Zetian burst into laughter, and at this moment Wu Zetian felt another pair of resentful eyes.
"Mr. Wei, I originally wanted to go to Chang'an to find you, but I didn't expect you to come to your door by yourself. This is your own way of death."
Empress Wei originally lies dormant in Chang'an all year round, so she doesn't have to meet Wu Zetian, and at the same time avoids Wu Zetian.
But this time I thought it was a sure thing, but I didn't expect that something would go wrong in the link that should be the least problematic.
"Wu Zetian, I lost, but I am not convinced. If I didn't join forces with Yao Chong in this way, then I must be the one who laughs to the end."
"Haha... Wei, you are too naive. Do you really think that you lost because you joined forces with Yao Chong? No matter who you join forces with, it will be useless."
Seeing Queen Wei gritting her teeth, Wu Zetian felt satisfied.
This old enemy who had fought with him for more than ten years finally lost this time.
Even though Empress Wei admitted her failure, she still maintained her demeanor and was not as hysterical as Yao Chong.
"I am an emperor recognized by God, so I won." Wu Zetian said complacently.
"The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Wu Zetian, do you really believe in the so-called destiny of heaven?"
"I didn't believe it before, but I believe it now." Wu Zetian was not teasing Queen Wei, but she really thought so.
If it weren't for God's recognition, how could Bai Chen appear? He helped himself do something that no one has ever done in the ages.
"Didn't you see the fairy island in the sky? That's iron proof. God recognizes my achievements, so I'll bring down fairy tales. Whether you admit it or deny it, this is an unchangeable fact."
Yao Chong looked at Wu Zetian with a flash of eyes: "It has been said that you have an intersection with the immortals. Is this really the case?"
"Yes, it's indeed an immortal. In fact, the plan to destroy Confucianism was proposed by the immortals, and he also promised me that as long as I act according to my plan, he could solve any trouble for me."
Wu Zetian looked at Empress Wei again: "For example, your army of 300,000 outside the city."
"Is there really an immortal?" Queen Wei's face looked a little surprised.
"It seems you still don't believe it, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, your failure is doomed."
Wu Zetian enjoyed the fruits of victory and faced two losers with an arrogant attitude.
These two losers can be said to be Wu Zetian's biggest enemies and her biggest trouble.
The more they hate Wu Zetian, the more they hate them.
But tonight, the two of them were defeated by themselves. Is there anything more exciting to Wu Zetian than this?
"Isn't it that the wise man who plots your power and deceives you with sweet words?"
"I still have this discernment. If a wise man can block the army of 300,000, I will be willing to be deceived by him."
Wu Zetian left as a victor. She came over not to capture Yao Chong and Empress Wei, but to see how she enjoyed the fruits of the victor. Only in this way can she satisfy her vanity.
Of course, Yao Chong and Empress Wei had no choice but to do so. They poured everything into this night.
They lost all their chips, and now they can't even protect themselves, let alone counterattacking Wu Zetian.
The reason why they are not dead is not because of Wu Zetian's mercy, but because Wu Zetian needs them to set off their joy.
The next day
The entire Luoyang City has returned to peace. When people outside entered Luoyang City, they found countless soldiers kneeling outside the city. They were still maintaining the same movements after the wind and rain all night.
The city was not affected much. Although every household knew that a large army entered the city last night, no battle occurred in Luoyang City, and all the battles took place in the palace.
Today, Luoyang City seems a little quiet. The originally prosperous street market has few people. There are a few past descriptions, and there are no shops and stalls open.
Occasionally, people gathered in restaurants to discuss the war last night and guess the results.
However, no one is willing to talk deeply, for fear of making any taboos, and there are many people, so who knows if it will spread.
After all, the remarks in this era are still very restricted, especially when it comes to the issue of imperial power, ordinary people are even more taboo.
At a restaurant, several people were drinking wine and whispering to discuss the battle situation last night.
"Do you know the troops outside the city?"
"I saw it, and I don't know what happened to them, and I didn't see them entering the city. I just knelt outside the city like that, and I'm at least 200,000, right?"
"A total of 300,000." One of them said seriously.
"Thirty-hundred thousand! The army around Luoyang City is only about 300,000. I saw that the military flags they threw on the ground should be from Chang'an Military Camp."
"I came from Zhangjiakou and did a fishing business. Last night I was fishing in Luoshui, and suddenly I saw a red light appear, and the earth shook. At that time, I thought something had happened. When I was in the morning, I found that the Phoenix Mountain next to Zhangjiakou had been razed to the ground."
"Phoenix Mountain? It's such a beautiful scenery, such a big mountain!" Everyone looked at the fisherman in surprise and doubt: "Even if there are thousands of troops, it will take three to five years to level it up, right? Are you talking nonsense?"
"You can go and see it yourself. Moreover, there is a black scorch mark on the site of Phoenix Mountain, which extends to the gate of Luoyang City, which is in the middle of the 300,000 troops. I calculated it, and it is probably more than a hundred miles."
"I know this, I can take charge. My brother is a soldier guarding the city. Last night, he was ordered by the general to open the city gate and hid on the city tower. At night, he saw a 300,000 army coming. He knew that the sky was about to change. However, in this matter, a person appeared, ten feet tall and golden light wrapped around his body, like a god in the sky, trying to stop the 300,000 army, saying that Emperor Wu was the true dragon emperor. Their behavior was a heinous crime. The general who led the army refused to listen and insisted on going into the city. The god was really angry. As soon as he pointed it out, the mountains collapsed and the earth was broken, leaving the scorched mark. Phoenix Mountain was destroyed by the god with one finger."
"real?"
"Of course it's true. I heard what my brother said is true. Otherwise, why do you think the 300,000 army kneels on the ground and dare not move? It's the order of the gods. Whoever dares to move will be destroyed by the body and spirit."
While everyone was discussing heatedly, a newspaper boy started to sell: "Selling newspapers and newspapers, today's headlines, the treacherous ministers are in chaos, and the empress quells the rebellion!"
"If you sell newspapers, come with a newspaper."
The drunkards asked for a newspaper to read to them by those who knew how to read.
"A traitor! He is a traitor!" The literate man looked at the newspaper a few times and immediately started to curse.
"What is it said?" the drunkard asked, stretching his head.
"In order to overthrow the throne of Emperor Wu, several civil officials colluded with foreign generals and promised that as long as the task was completed, they would be allowed to loot in Luoyang City for three days."
Everyone was frightened and angry when they heard this: "Is this really the case?"
"That's what this is said above."
"Damn it, those traitors deserve to die!" Everyone who heard this was full of righteous indignation and gritted their teeth.
"What kind of thieves are they?"
"Shangqing Zuo Dong, Grand Secretary Chen Yang, and the Privy Council six yuan were all involved, and some of them could not be named. However, just ask which ministers were searched today, and you will know who participated."
"So many people? Why do they want to fight against Emperor Wu?"
"This is to say that these civil officials were originally opposed to the title of Momen and Mo Bei. They said that even if he had great achievements, as long as he was not a scholar or a saint of Confucius, he would not be allowed to be an official. This position could only be done by Confucian disciples. Your Majesty felt that Mo Bei would be of great success and benefit in the present. If he could not be rewarded, then who would be willing to serve the country in the future? So under the pressure of civil officials, he sealed the mountain with a tough attitude. Those civil officials felt that Your Majesty had destroyed the ancestral system, so he used this as an excuse to raise an army to force the palace."
"Damn! All these civil officials deserve to die. What a merit Mo Bei has. If such a person cannot receive a reward, then who can be rewarded? Can only scholars get rewarded?"
At this moment, a noise came from downstairs, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant blasted a scholar out.
"When I go out, my store doesn't do business as a scholar."
Chapter completed!
