Wu Meiniang was different from Li Zhi. She was stunned because Li Hong violated her taboo.
She looked deeply at Li Hong and couldn't help but think, good boy, if I hadn't worked so hard to fight Wang and Xiao in the harem, how could I have succeeded you in the crown prince position?
It's better now, her wings are hardened, and she's here to intercede with them.
Even if you want to say it, can't you say it secretly and privately? Doesn't it make her look ugly if she has to be in front of so many people?
Wu Meiniang stood up slowly and walked down.
Arriving next to a guard, Wu Meiniang stood still: "What's your name?"
"Back to the queen, my name is Zhang Zhiyun."
Wu Meiniang nodded: "I have made the decision to betroth Princess Yiyang to you."
"Ah I!?"
The guard shouted directly, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Wu Meiniang ignored him and began to look at the other guards.
Soon, he found another handsome man.
Without waiting for him to say anything, Wu Meiniang said: "It's up to you. I will betroth Princess Xuancheng to you."
The two guards looked at each other, was this a dream?
After choosing the person, Wu Meiniang looked at the two people who were stunned: "Why don't you quickly thank His Majesty for His grace?"
Everyone was dumbfounded. Isn't this too damn sloppy?
Those who knew it were choosing a consort to marry the princess, but those who didn’t know thought they were going to the market to buy vegetables, or offered to deliver them!
After the matter was settled and Wu Meiniang admitted it, those two girls were so lucky that they bumped into Hong'er.
Li Zhi had no objection to this.
Although the official positions of those who can serve as bodyguards around Li Zhi are not high, they are all worthy of his attention and can be accepted.
After settling the matter, everyone continued to drink and have fun.
But Wu Meiniang heard all the chat.
After being away from Chang'an for a long time, and now returning, she found that some ministers in the court had changed, and there were still many people who were openly humble to her, but secretly opposed her participation in politics.
Some are even teaching her children about her rise to power.
After observing for more than an hour, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be isolated.
Asking Li Zhi to leave Chang'an and move into the East Palace did not allow her to take charge of the court. Instead, some of her informants were eliminated.
But she won't show anything, and she won't complain at all. She always reminds herself to be patient. She doesn't believe that except for the Xuantian Sect, no one is willing to be used by her!
The banquet lasted until late at night before everyone returned.
Li Yunxiao did not go back to his residence, but was on the sky tower, resting on his arm, looking at the moonlight and recalling the past.
And inside the palace.
Li Zhi saw Wu Meiniang's sad face and asked what the reason was.
Wu Meiniang said that after Wu Minzhi's death, her descendants must have no relatives.
Li Zhi thought for a while and realized that this was indeed unreasonable, so he asked if there was any junior who could succeed the duke.
This is what Wu Meiniang was waiting for, but almost everyone in the Wu family is guilty, and she did it herself, so I'm afraid she can't come in.
Li Zhi heard this and sneered: "Is this still a big deal? I just need to issue an edict to pardon their sins, isn't that enough?"
Wu Meiniang shook her head: "It suits my heart, but it doesn't suit yours. Think about it, how can the merits and crimes be changed at will?"
"Let's just talk about Wu Yuanshuang. He is already a sinner. If he is pardoned without any reason, wouldn't he lose the opinions of others and the opinions of the ministers?"
At present, most of the ministers are staring at her, Wu Meiniang, especially Di Renjie.
If his nephews were pardoned as officials at this time, that guy would probably be the first to jump out.
Li Zhi asked: "Then what do you want to do?"
Wu Meiniang said what was in her heart at this time: "The world is amnesty!"
Li Zhi was startled: "A general amnesty? Pardon all prisoners?"
"That's right!" Wu Meiniang said in a serious tone: "When Taizong was in power, he granted amnesty twice, just to celebrate."
"A few years ago, frequent disasters and the rebellion of the Tubo princes caused the people to live in dire straits. Many people were forced to steal to feed themselves. Now that everything has calmed down, it is better to have a general amnesty and benefit the world. In addition, the children are getting married recently. This is not good. It’s a good time to see each other!”
Li Zhi pondered for a long time and nodded: "That makes sense."
A few months passed.
Li Zhi changed the Yuan Dynasty to Shangyuan Dynasty, and the world was amnesty.
Those whose crimes were not serious were all pardoned.
After Wu Yuanshuang's son, Wu Chengsi, was pardoned, he issued an imperial edict to enter the palace and attack the Duke of Zhou.
Wu Chengsi's head was still foggy even after he entered Beijing. This glory and wealth came too quickly.
After he became a little more stable, he quickly brought a lot of gold and silver jewelry and came to visit Wu Meiniang, who promoted him.
Wu Meiniang asked Gao Lishi to bring her in, and she just sat in the pavilion and casually looked at the gifts she had brought.
"Nephew, I have met my aunt...I have met the Queen."
Wu Chengsi originally thought about calling him aunt, but after seeing Wu Meiniang's cold eyes, he quickly changed his mind.
"These are some gadgets that my nephew found for you. I hope you like them."
Wu Meiniang casually waved her energy and knocked over the things Wu Chengsi had brought. The gold and silver jewelry instantly fell to the floor.
Wu Chengsi was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground: "Queen, forgive me, I know I was wrong!"
"Oh? Wrong? Where did you go wrong?"
"My mistake is... my mistake is..." Wu Chengsi didn't know what the hell he was wrong about.
Is it wrong that you and I have a grudge against my father's murder, a grudge against my exile, or am I bringing you a gift and letting you knock it over?
He had been in the wilderness for so long. If someone hadn't taken care of him, he might have died outside!
For a moment, he couldn't think of an answer. Gao Lishi rolled his eyes. Wu Chengsi's mouth and brain were really stupid.
Isn’t jewelry on the ground a sin?
Wu Meiniang was furious when she saw Wu Chengsi's cowardly appearance.
"What a waste! I came all the way to find you, is this just for this?"
"Ah? What's the reason for that?"
"you...!"
Snapped!
Wu Meiniang went up and slapped him, sending him flying away.
Wu Chengsi's mouth was full of blood but he didn't dare to wipe it away. He crawled in front of him and knelt down again.
Wu Meiniang came to his side and looked at him condescendingly.
"Remember! From today on, I want you to straighten your back, act like a royal nobleman, and do things for me. Don't act like this coward. If you don't think it's embarrassing, I still think it's embarrassing!"
Wu Meiniang really felt uncomfortable. It seemed like she didn't have anyone who could do anything. She finally managed to persuade Li Zhi to recruit one, but he was still the same guy. He was as useless as his father Wu Yuanshuang!
"Okay! Whatever you say, my nephew will be whatever you say!"
Wu Chengsi slowly got up, but he still couldn't stand straight. Whenever Wu Meiniang looked at him, his body would unconsciously tremble backwards, for fear of being slapped.
Wu Meiniang looked up and down for half a quarter of an hour. She looked awkward. She really wanted to break off Wu Chengsi's arms and legs and reset his bones!
She was not optimistic about Wu Chengsi's nephew. The most important thing was that she had too deep grudges with his father.
But now, except for the Xuantian Sect, which I can't believe in, I don't have any help from my mother-in-law.
In such a huge palace, a relative from her mother's family must occupy a corner, otherwise she would feel uneasy.
"Alas!" Wu Meiniang sighed: "Okay, in the future, you should stop enjoying yourself and make friends with more ministers of the court. Moreover, your job will not last long. In a few days, I will promote you to Zong Zhengqing."
Hearing this, Wu Chengsi pointed at himself: "Me?"
He couldn't believe his ears.
