Chapter 684: Improper Etiquette in the Palace, Luzhou Miles to Go
Wu Sansi had suffered a lot of humiliation, but today he finally lost face.
Even a man as arrogant as him had never thought that someone would dare to beat him in a place like the Linde Hall of Shangyang Palace where court was held.
What's more, they were the highest leaders of the Censorate and the head of the Imperial Observatory. The two of them didn't care about his face at all and treated him like a spinning top.
Doesn’t Wu Sansi have any shame?
What's more, this is a serious crime of impoliteness in front of the king, and they might even have their heads chopped off.
"Just wait for me, I will kill you!"
Wu Sansi yelled hysterically, not taking Wu Zetian on the dragon bed seriously at all.
But no matter how arrogant he was, he didn't dare to stand up.
If he turned his face slightly, he could clearly see the imperial scepter held high by Zong Qinke behind him out of the corner of his eye.
I have to say, it really hurts when this thing hits his body. It hurts so much that he doesn't even dare to stand up to get hit again.
"Master, this really makes me laugh to death."
Li Cunxi really couldn't hold it back any longer, he lowered his head and smiled while talking to Wu Chengsi next to him.
Wu Chengsi, who was watching the play with great interest, could no longer hold back his laughter. His laughter was louder than that of most of the court officials. He could be said to have laughed the loudest.
“Cunxi, Sansi has really lost face this time, hahahaha.”
"However, Zong Qinke and Xu Xi's actions are inappropriate in front of the palace and they will be punished."
"Of course, if we talk about the crime, Sansi can't escape. After your majesty finishes watching the show, I'm afraid he will have to arrest all three of them and take them to the Inner Guard House."
When Wu Sansi was halfway through his speech, the smile on his face faded a lot.
These three people behaved disrespectfully in front of the palace. Although Wu Sansi was the one who was beaten, he could not avoid being taken to the Inner Guard Palace.
All the dignitaries in the court actually saw it all, but they did not say anything to take sides. Instead, they allowed Zong Qinke and Xu Xi to beat Wu Sansi, which made the facts clear.
Yes, most officials actually wanted to beat Wu Sansi up, but they never had the chance.
Now, the hot-tempered Zong Qinke took the lead in firing the cannon, and the nosy Xu Xi followed up and attacked from the front and back. Wu Sansi was unable to take care of both ends, so it was natural that he got a beating, and all the officials were happy to see him get beaten.
Wu Sansi squatted on the ground, cursing Xu Xi in front of him and Zong Qinke behind him.
Xu Xi was a man of sharp tongue, so naturally he started to curse at Wu Sansi.
However, Zong Qinke was not a person who liked to show off his power of words, so he did not argue with Wu Sansi. Instead, he raised his imperial tablet and hit the horned fuss on Wu Sansi's head.
Wu Sansi was so frightened that he was knocked to the ground with the blow on his head.
He was so panicked for a moment that he didn't care about being attacked by two people. He quickly stood up and wanted to argue with Zong Qinke.
But Zong Qinke was not an easy person to deal with after all. He refused to argue with him and raised his imperial scepter to continue his attack.
Xu Xi loves excitement. Seeing that Zong Qinke is about to beat Wu Sansi again, he is in great joy and is determined to once again join forces with Zong Qinke to attack Wu Sansi.
At this moment, Wu Zetian, who had been watching the show for a long time, suddenly called out:
"Somebody come!"
Outside the Linde Hall, soldiers of the Qianniu Guard filed in.
Gao Huan, the leader, glanced at the situation in the hall and confirmed who Wu Zetian wanted him to arrest. Then he immediately led his troops to surround Zong Qinke, Xu Xi and Wu Sansi.
Perhaps he had anticipated the consequences of his impoliteness in front of the palace, so Zong Qinke gave up beating Wu Sansi and instead tidied up his clothes.
Today, I beat Wu Sansi and scolded him severely, and I felt extremely happy.
Even though he ended up being captured and severely beaten by the Inner Guards, he had no regrets.
As for Xu Xi, he was looking for trouble with Wu Sansi, so it was not a big deal to get beaten up for doing so.
What's more, he might not necessarily get beaten.
"Take the Prince of Liang Wu Sansi, the Imperial Censor Zong Qinke, and the Director of the Imperial Observatory Xu Xi away and send them to the Imperial Guards Prison. Imprison them for half a month."
Wu Zetian looked down at the three people below and gave orders in a calm voice.
After being beaten, Wu Sansi burst into tears when he thought about being thrown into the prison of the Internal Guard House.
He was clearly the victim, so why was he also thrown into the prison of the Internal Guards?
However, he did not have the chance to appeal for justice. Two Qianniu Guards came forward, locked him on the left and right, and carried him out of the Linde Hall.
Xu Xi and Zong Qinke looked at each other, then suddenly raised their heads and laughed, saying:
"I am very happy to beat King Liang!"
“Even though I went to jail, I got what I wanted!”
"Happy! Hurray!"
He laughed loudly, put his hands behind his back, and actually took the initiative to follow the two Qianniu Guards who were carrying Wu Sansi out.
"it is good!"
"Xu Jianzheng, I'm coming to accompany you right now!"
The two men, one in front and one behind, chased the two Qianniu Guards out.
Gao Huan secretly gave orders and sent four more Qianniu Guards to follow the two of them to ensure that the three of them entered the Inner Guard Palace.
"What a farce."
Wu Zetian half raised her head and put away the intention of watching the show.
Let’s stop here for today’s show, there’s nothing else to watch.
"But is there anything else you want to report?"
"If not, then let's retire. I'm a little tired today."
The ministers had nothing to report. Even if they did, they would have almost forgotten it after watching such a big show.
The happy times were gone forever, and the silence of the ministers reflected their current situation.
"Since there is nothing else to do, let's leave the court."
"Yes!"
All the officials bowed together and wished to see Wu Zetian off.
At this critical moment, a figure ran in hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Luzhou, six hundred miles, urgent!"
The ministers were all about to leave, but when they heard these words, they stopped immediately and quickly turned back to their seats and stood still.
Wu Zetian also sat back on the dragon bed, her brows unconsciously frowned.
The six hundred miles express service was not often used. Since she ascended the throne, it had only been used once during the Youzhou case. This was the second time today.
but……
Luzhou is separated from Luoyang by Huaizhou and Zezhou.
The distance is very short.
It is easy to imagine what kind of horrific events happened during the express journey of 600 miles to cover such a distance.
"Present it!" Wu Zetian said coldly.
Shangguan Wan'er did not dare to delay, and hurriedly walked down the imperial steps, took the express document from six hundred miles away, and hurried up again to hand the document to Wu Zetian.
Spreading out the document, Wu Zetian took a closer look and her eyes suddenly widened.
"What? These bastards actually dared to openly assassinate my imperial envoy!"
When the people below heard this, they felt as if their throats were blocked and they were unable to speak for a long time.
Luzhou's urgent document, the thief who assassinated the imperial envoy...
There is no doubt that Lu Dayou, who was sent to Luzhou to investigate Di Guangzhao's bribery case, is doomed.
Li Cunxi clenched his fists, anger blazing in his eyes.
"Damn Luzhou clan, just wait for me."
