Chapter 7 attack the queen

By the sixth year of Emperor Gaozong, things had reached their peak.Queen Wang obviously used nightmare magic to harm the emperor, which made the emperor feel distressed and wanted to put the emperor to death.The emperor felt distressed, and the Wu family knew it too.In the ground under the queen's own bed, a small wooden man was dug out, engraved with the emperor's name and birth date, and a needle was inserted into the heart of the little wooden man.The occurrence of this incident shows that Queen Wang was too careless about her maid.Because someone informed the emperor, the emperor personally led people to dig it out under the queen's bed.Queen Wang seemed to be discovered with bloody hands, panicked and speechless.Apart from continuous denial, how can I explain myself?So he knelt on the ground and said that he did not know.But is there any reason to escape this bad luck?She guessed that the little wooden man

It must have been planted by someone else and secretly buried under her bed, but all the evidence is against her.Only then did she realize that she had driven away a scorpion in exchange for a deadly poisonous snake. In the palace, in the court, there was a lot of discussion, the ministers were horrified, and the small officials were suspicious.Is the queen really trying to kill the emperor, or is someone else plotting to kill the queen?Wouldn't it be more reasonable to say that Queen Wang used magic to harm Concubine Xiao Shu or the Wu family?The whole thing seemed incredible.Queen Wang would never do it by herself, she must have used a witch and an accomplice.And who was the witch, and what was her name?According to the servant's words, the crime can also be established or overturned.In case the queen is abolished, who is most likely to be promoted to queen?The Wu family never stood still. Within three years, she gave birth to two boys and one girl for the emperor, and the first girl was the child who was strangled to death. The Wu family became more and more entitled to be the queen.

The attack on Queen Wang began, and there was an uproar in the court.The queen is about to be abolished, and many people say so seriously.Chu Suiliang and Changsun Wuji were entrusted by the former emperor, and now they feel that something is going to happen.No matter how you look at it, the murder of the emperor is unbelievable.Wu knows that things are not easy, but since it has been mobilized, it will not end immediately.Behind the Wu family is the emperor's strong support.If the emperor insists, what can the minister do? At this time, Xu Jingzong, Minister of Rites and editor of national history, was very eloquent. Seeing that he could use Wu's family to make a fortune at this critical moment, he started his activities.As a historian, he has always tampered with historical facts without authorization, and took the historian's responsibility very lightly. Some people can buy a more important position in the history written by him by paying him money.The records of the victory and defeat of the battle, the merits and demerits, honor and disgrace are all inconclusive, and they can be bought with money.He ran around, saying that it was reasonable and legal for Wu's promotion to be a queen.Xu Jingzong went to see Taiwei Zhao Guogong's eldest Sun Wuji, but Wuji didn't allow him to open his mouth at all.Nine out of ten high officials in the imperial court knew what was brewing in the court, and they were unwilling to mention it, and were too lazy to listen.Everyone supports Queen Wang and opposes Wu Zhaoyi. Everyone knows that she was once a talented person of the late Emperor Taizong.Etiquette does not tolerate chaos.Since the death of Emperor Taizong, Chu Suiliang and Wuji have devoted their loyalty and wisdom to assist the court and not fall into the reign of Emperor Taizong.The two invite ten officials to their private residences every day to discuss state affairs and review gains and losses.When Emperor Taizong entrusted Gu Gu, he especially asked the two to do good to the young master and the queen. Now that this happened, he thought it was very serious.The Empress is irrevocable without sufficient justification and investigation.Furthermore, Queen Wang was personally selected by Taizong for Gaozong.If the emperor was allowed to marry the concubine of the previous king, it would be a great mistake to admit that such incest is in line with the law of the country.It will definitely damage the throne and weaken the prestige of the court.For the benefit of the country, considering the great trust entrusted by Emperor Taizong, the two of them are obliged to oppose such promiscuous things.

The Wu family knew very well that among the high officials and ministers in the court, Changsun Wuji was the most prestigious.Ranked first among the three princes, as a Taiwei and the emperor's uncle, he must fight for his own use.If he can recognize it, it will be easy for others.She persuaded Emperor Gaozong to drive to Xing Wuji's mansion and visit his uncle in person, and she wanted to accompany him. It is a great honor for the emperor to be in the family of his subjects, and it is worthy of being recorded in history.After Gaozong Yujia came to announce it in person, Wuji felt suspicious for some reason.Later, when I saw Wu Shi also came with me, I immediately understood.

Mrs. Wu asked very kindly, "Where's Auntie?" Because it was a visit to relatives, the emperor and the Wu family were let to the back.Mrs. Taiwei came out to greet her and took her inside to entertain her.The two distinguished guests were extremely amiable, and Wu in particular was warm, cheerful, and earnest.Both the host and the guest tried their best to find something to talk about, but they refused to mention the things to be discussed.The host and guest sat, sat, until it was time for dinner. The Taiwei naturally stayed for dinner.The two distinguished guests suddenly realized that it was already so late, so they didn't pay attention to it because they were talking too happily.Of course I stayed for dinner, because I had nothing else to do.Wu said: "Let's sit at this table and eat together. There is no need for a family to be formal."

When the food and wine were served, everyone raised their glasses and drank happily.The four sons of the Taiwei were also present.During the meal, Gaozong asked the four sons about their current situation.One is just an adult and the other three are all in their teens.Wuji is upright and upright.When Taizong was there, he resolutely opposed the hereditary title.The eldest son is currently working in Hongwen Library as the school secretary.When the emperor heard that the other three sons had no official titles, he immediately promoted them to be Chaosan doctors. The Taiwei felt uneasy and dared not accept his words.

Wu said: "Uncle, you have contributed more to the country than anyone else. Why not accept it? Of course the imperial court has to express that they think their titles should be granted. This is uncle's right." Under such circumstances, Wuji could no longer say goodbye, so he hurriedly ordered his three sons to leave the table and kowtow to the emperor to thank him. Everyone toasted for a long time.The whole atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, and everyone is very happy.At this time, Gaozong mustered up his courage, brought up the matter of the little wooden man, and hinted slightly that the queen had no son and should be abolished.

Wu Shi watched from the side without saying a word.Taiwei was like a seasoned diplomat, coughing and clearing his throat while hesitating, trying to avoid answering questions directly, neither saying yes nor no.He thought that such an important issue should be carefully considered and not rushed. Gaozong saw that his uncle disapproved, so he was naturally unhappy.It turned out to be a very happy night, but the result still broke up. The next day, Wu sent ten carts of silk, satin and gold and silver gifts to his uncle in the name of the emperor.It was sent by Mrs. Wu's mother, Mrs. Yang Tai, to show Wu's respect and love for his uncle.

This intention is very clear.Last night I gave my son an official title, and now I give gold and silver.Did the Wu family think that Changsun Wuji could be bought with money and official titles?Wuji chose some silk and satin to keep as a token of respect for receiving the gift, and the rest went back to the palace.
