Chapter 46 Chapter Forty-Six: Zhou Xing and the others Harm the Innocent Xu Yougong painstakingly save the suffering

Someone called him to get up and celebrate together, but Wei Yuanzhong moved his lips and said calmly, "I don't know if it's true or not." Wei Yuanzhong glanced at Wang Yinke who had just shouted to keep someone under the sword, and said, "My lord, I'm waiting for a pardon. It was only then that Wang Yinke remembered that he was running in a hurry, but the pardon had not yet been announced, so he read the pardon letter.This was the queen mother's own idea, she figured it out. After listening, Wei Yuanzhong stood up and bowed in the direction of the court as usual. From his face, there was no expression of joy or sadness.God was not as calm as Wei Yuanzhong. At this time, the cloud suddenly dispersed, the sky was blue and the sun was shining. (It was a sunny day, cloudy and cloudy. After Shi Chujin and others, the weather was fine.)

Zhou Xing's hard work was not all in vain. He secretly observed Wei Xuantong who was still relying on the position of prime minister, and suddenly chuckled and sneered: "The Queen Mother is old..." Zhou Xing found a way to kill Wei Xuantong, an old fox, to be honest. , He is like a dog, lying next to the cesspit, waiting for someone to pull this shit for a long time.When the queen mother asked herself one day, she flew over like a fly to lick the calf with affection. Zhou Xing said, "Wei Xuantong and Pei Yan used to be good friends. He also said that the Queen Mother is old now and thinks Feng Sijun (the prince of Li's family) is better." These words definitely angered Wu Zetian, so Wu Zetian gave Wei Xuantong the death penalty and executed it immediately. , Let him commit suicide at home without going to court to explain anything.

Wei Xuantong died, Mr. Zhou's vengeance was avenged, and it was worth the effort of these two years. He still can't forget Wei Xuantong's tone when he persuaded him to go home.After killing the prime minister, Zhou Xing became more and more daring. The next person he killed was Cui Cha, Xia Guan’s servant (this person really deserves to die, he used to be quite envious of Zhou Xing), and then the governor of Pengzhou, Shi Liu Yicong. (son of Liu Shenli). Two effects of life appeared: Cui Cha's death, people cheered; Liu Yicong's death, people sighed.When the execution was carried out in the market, all the people and officials within a hundred miles, who could come, came.The strong men took off their clothes and threw themselves to the ground, worshiping the sky and saying: "We will pray for Liu Changshi's blessing!"Seeing that the crowd was full of anger and the situation was very bad, the Secretary immediately approved it.Liu Yicong, how did you mess up in this life?The beheading officer was wet, because after receiving the news of begging for blessings and throwing money, in an instant, the people threw more than 100,000 yuan for Liu Yicong.

A man should be born like this! A person should always understand what he can do, what is worth doing, whether he will be a villain in his life or a hero in his life, it is all up to him.Knowing people's hearts, being able to do some practical things for the people, and being so loved by the people, I, Liu Yi, deserved to die! Zhou Xing giggled, since I can't get popular support like yours, I'll kill you, do you still have it?He was very busy, turned around and went to work.The deformed psychology made him set his sights on the Great Tang's Zuo Wuwei General Black Tooth Changzhi.Heh, a barbarian from Baekje, who even got involved with Duke Yan, is he very accomplished?

With black teeth, Zhou Xing giggled, it was very creepy.Foreseeing the tragic death of others is one of Zhou Xing's greatest pleasures.Don't look at Hei Chi Changzhi being so high-spirited now, I'll send letters to the local hooligans arranged in various states and counties later, and ask them to file a secret letter to file a lawsuit together, and Hei Chi Changzhi will be completely speechless. Are you good?Are you not a general?Let's see if my people are the best, or Duke Yan is the best. Yizi, go to hell! Zhou Xing quickly completed a letter of accusations and distributed it to all directions.The hooligans who were far away in all directions rushed eastward immediately after receiving the message.In October of the first year of Yongchang (AD 689), a generation of famous generals, Hei Chi Chang Zhi, committed suicide because he could not bear Zhou Xing's torture.From then on, in Zetian's world, there were no generals to guard against border troubles. It was not until many years later that Wu Zetian began to attach importance to generals.

Chen Ziang didn't seem to be afraid of death, he wasn't afraid of Lai Junchen, Zhou Xing, or even the Emperor of God.At this juncture, he actually remonstrated, "May Your Majesty be harmless and innocent, be lenient, and immediately stop the cruel officials, stop the unjust prison, and the government and the public will celebrate, and the world will be safe!" Chen Ziang, are you not afraid of death? No, I am afraid of death, but I am even more afraid that my death will not bring any justice. Wu Zetian pressed Chen Ziang's letter. She wanted to keep this outspoken person, so she didn't reply.But Zhou Xing was very happy, and he killed six more relatives of Li Tang's clan in one breath. Fortunately, he didn't have time to answer the relatively unimportant Chen Ziang, but Zhou Xing remembered.

Chen Ziang, you wait! At the same time, Wu Chengsi was also happy. With his keen political sense, he embraced Wu Zetian to visit the Vientiane Shrine and amnesty the world on this day. Wu Zetian came to the Vientiane Shrine and changed her Yuan and Shangzun titles.The year, month, and year are all indicated, so, are there any indications in Chinese characters? Yes, of course, Fengge Shilang and his party sent Wu Zetian an improved version of twelve characters including "Heaven" and "Earth".These twelve characters, because they are not easy to use and are not used to, people ignore them.Among them, only one word is still well known.This word is Wu Zhao's "赵".The sun and the moon are in the sky, and the Holy Mother of God is really extraordinary.But this is a very pitiful word, because since it is Wu Zetian's name, it has to be taboo.Therefore, the word was destined to be blocked as soon as it was born, and the servants came up with a good way.

Since "赵" needs to be avoided, use "瞾" instead.Eyes in the sky, looking down at everything. Subsequently, Wu Zetian made major adjustments to the court.In January of the first year of Tianshou, Wu Chengsi was successfully promoted to the left minister of Wenchang, Cen Changqian was promoted to the right minister of Wenchang, and the third rank of Tongfengge Luantai; The doctor and the third-rank king of Luantai, Tongfeng Pavilion, were appointed as the local official Shangshu (the household department Shangshu).The two prime ministers, Wu Chengsi are relatives, and they will not do anything except give him the honorary title; Cen Changqian was brought up by Cen Wenwen, who is purely powerful. After all, the imperial court can't really use a bunch of things that know nothing. .

As for Xing Wenwei and others, they are well-known scholars throughout the country. Arranging Wu Chengsi as the prime minister was Wu Zetian's biggest failure, because besides recognizing Feng Xiaobao as his own father, this guy.The most famous thing he has done is to communicate with Zhou Xing. He likes to discuss with Zhou Xing who should die next, not what the country should do next.With Wu Zetian's approval, Wu Chengsi and Zhou Xing tried their best to express themselves, and within the allowed range, they avenged public revenge, public revenge, and private revenge. Their achievements are listed as follows:

The former local official Shangshu (Hubu Shangshu) Wei Fangzhi was accused by Zhou Xingluo of contempt for Wu Chengsi, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight. In April, Fan Lubing, Chunguan Shangshu (Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites), was killed for recommending a rebel who was falsely accused by Zhou Xing; Afterwards, Yuzhang King Li Quan was killed, and Pei Zhen, the governor of Hengzhou, copied and beheaded all over his family; Shengzhou governor Wang Anren and his son were killed one after another; Suizhou Inspector Ze Wang Li Shangjin was killed, Suzhou Inspector Xu Wang Li Sujie and his friends were all killed.

In August, Prince Shaobao and Nayan Pei Judao were killed; A few days later, Shangshu Zuocheng Zhang Xinglian was killed; Twelve members of the royal family surnamed Li, including Wang Liying of Nan'an, were massacred; Li Xian's two sons were whipped to death by cruel officials, and all the old and weak of the Li family who survived were exiled to Lingnan, and hundreds of families and thousands of people who were close to the party were killed.Almost all of Li Tang's clan were killed and exiled.The prophecy of decades ago has now been fully realized.So, who else can live well? Princess Qianjin. When little Wu Zetian was three or four years old, she saw other people being killed, so she ran directly to the palace and knelt down to Wu Zetian, insisting on recognizing Wu Zetian as her mother.Wu Zetian had a great sense of accomplishment, so she bestowed the surname "Wu" and changed "Princess Qianjin" to "Princess Yan'an Dachang".Princess Qianjin was really relieved, it was better than anything else to survive. The cool official welcomed a new member, Hou Sizhi from Liquan, who was doing the same business as Wu Dalang (selling cooking cakes), and his popularity was so poor that no one would buy his cakes.He is one of the most popular rogues on the street, he has no business to do, so he can only go to a guerrilla general to work as a servant. Later, he sued Pei Zhen and Shu Wang Li Yuanming for rebellion, so he was worshiped as a guerrilla general. Hou Sizhi has great ambitions, he is cunning, and when he is tired of being a guerrilla general, he wants to become a censor.He expressed his heart to Wu Zetian, but Wu Zetian was still very principled. She said that she had never seen an illiterate person who could be a censor.Hou Sizhi immediately put on an indomitable look, and argued: "Xiezhi (sound: Xiezhi; a kind of divine beast, the thing that judges whether Wukong is true or false) is not literate? People all over the world rely on it!" Wu Zetian was overjoyed, thinking that this person was witty and intelligent, so he paid homage to Dr. Chaosan and served as a censor. Hou Sizhi's story has influenced a large group of people, and it has also greatly touched Wang Hongyi, a native of Hengshui. Wang Hongyi was also a rascal before he became an official. One day, he felt thirsty on the street and didn't want to drink plain water, so he ran to a neighbor's house to ask for melons.The old neighbor became angry when he saw him, and told him to leave immediately.Wang Hongyi ran away in anger and went straight to the county government.He beat the drum to protest his grievances. When he reached the lobby, Wang Hongyi told the county magistrate a magical story. The central meaning of the story was: "There is a little white rabbit in the melon field of my neighbor's house!" The county magistrate was overjoyed, the white rabbit, the white rabbit you wished for, the little white rabbit, the little white rabbit that fell from the moon palace!The county magistrate immediately thought of the queen mother, and he ordered: "Stop talking nonsense, and all the staff will search for me!" As a result, the neighbor's melon fields were all destroyed. After taking revenge, Wang Hongyi happily wandered around Zhaozhou, Beizhou and other places. While visiting the scenery, he found many people praying fast in temples in the county.See you, Wang Hongyi laughed happily, went to the post station, asked for a horse, and ran to Luoyang, suing two hundred villagers for gathering a crowd for rebellion. Embarrassed by Wang Hongyi's report, Wu Zetian worshiped him as a guerrilla general. Later, Wang Hongyi was promoted to serve as a censor in the palace, and became a colleague of Hou Sizhi. Now it's time to play big. Zhou Xing, Wan Guojun, Lai Junchen, Suo Yuanli, Wang Hongyi, Hou Sizhi and others added a lot of cruelty and blood to Wu Zetian's policy of cruel officials.Among the criminal officers, cruel officials accounted for the majority, and only Xu Yougong and Du Jingjian, the criminal officials, were fair.Among the defendants, there is a saying: "When you meet Lai, Hou will die, if you meet Xu, Du Bisheng." When you meet a cruel official, you must either quickly confess your funeral, or quickly confess your crime, and then explain your funeral. Xu Yougong and Du Jingjian have nothing to do with these cruel officials, even to kill Xue Shao.Wu Zetian was still concerned about Xue Shao's death, because he was the husband of his daughter, who was beheaded for rebellion, but his daughter became a widow.Wu Zetian is determined to arrange the next round of marriage for Taiping. After thinking about it, Wu Zetian asked Wu Youji, a relative of his nephew, to marry his daughter. All the prime ministers and bachelors: Wu You has a wife! Wu Zetian laughed: I didn't know he had a wife?It's okay for Taiping to marry him as a junior, everyone? All the prime ministers and bachelors: It seems not good for the princess to be small, right? Wu Zetian smiled: You will understand. It is too late for everyone to understand. A few days later, Wu Youji's first spouse died suddenly, and Princess Taiping became his wife. Zhou Xingluo weaves the charges against Li Xingbao, the governor of Daozhou, and the case has been solved. This is a serious crime to kill the whole family. Xu Yougong, Qiuguan Langzhong (the doctor of the Ministry of Criminal Justice), argued vigorously, and Zhou Xing made Xu Yougong's crimes. Wu Zetian didn't kill Li Xingbao or Xu Yougong, but demoted him to other places.Soon after, she used Xu Yougong again and appointed him as a royal censor.When Xu Yougong heard the news, he knelt down on the ground and said with tears in his eyes, "I know that deer are happy in the mountains and forests all day long, but some people will inevitably want to kill it. This is fate. Your Majesty made me a judge, but I dare not If you bully the emperor and pervert the law, you will definitely die in this official position in the future!" But from Wu Zetian's eyes, Xu Yougong seemed to see a kind of clarity.She knows what's right and what's wrong, and she knows what she's doing better than anyone else.Wu Zetian looked at Xu Yougong, and said to him earnestly: "You must accept, this is an order." As soon as he said this, the eyes of civil and military officials suddenly burst into incomparably brilliant brilliance.This imperial court can still be saved, Xu Yougong, it's up to you. Those with bright eyes, except Zhou Xing, except Lai Junchen. Lai Junchen has been annoyed recently, he hates Zhou Xing's ridiculous efficiency.So he worked harder and harder, and successively framed his colleague Shi Wuzi (also a cruel official, with poor performance) and general Qiu Shenji (this guy really deserves to die).However, compared with Zhou Xing, Comrade Lai Junchen had too few cases.So, with a modest and serious attitude, Lai Junchen invited Zhou Xing to have a meal, drink and eat food, and let Zhou Xing talk about his experience in rectifying people. Zhou Xing: Do you think I am cool or ant cool? Lai Junchen: Ant Cool! Zhou Xing: Can you not embarrass our cruel officials?
