Chu Suiliang finally left Chang'an, which was very desolate.

But he is not worthy of sympathy. After all, he is not a subject like Ma Zhou, Wei Zheng, who is absolutely upright. I remember that he also put a lot of efforts in the Fang Yiai case. Since you can mess with others like this, it is normal for others to mess with you. Those who come out will have to pay back.

However, Han Yi understood him a little bit.

Chu Suiliang’s flying birds depend on human character may not be born, but most of them are acquired.

Because Chu Suiliang is a native of Hangzhou and is from a famous family, he is a genius in Jiangnan. The Tang Dynasty was centered on the north, and the center of power was still around the Guanlong Group and the Shandong Group. Chu Suiliang, who was just arriving from abroad, could only rely on one side to rise to the top. Otherwise, he would not be able to squeeze into this circle. Even if Ma Zhou later became the prime minister, he was not in this circle.

Chu Suiliang wanted to enter this circle, but he could only rely on others. He chose Guanlong Group, so he was able to use it. Perhaps this reason has caused him to become a dependent person in character.

But Chu Suiliang's departure does not mean the end, but means the beginning.

However, what everyone did not expect was that as Chu Suiliang's good mentor, friend and best friend, Changsun Wuji did not make any noise during this period, and their faction also stopped all the actions against the abolition of the queen and remained silent.

As the saying goes, the time comes, just at this time, the chief of Qi Prefecture Yu Chengsu suddenly submitted a memorial to impeach Liu Shi, who had originally gone to Suizhou, when he arrived in Qizhou, he leaked the secret words in the forbidden area, that is, the exchange between the emperor and the harem.

However, the memorial did not mention the specific content. It was just this sentence. Obviously, Yu Chengsu gave this memorial to cater to Li Zhi.

This is really clever!

Without even checking, Li Zhi directly demoted Liu Shi to the Governor of Rongzhou, which was a further distance.

However, Li Zhi still did not mention the deposed Wang Liwu. He was just seeing what Changsun Wuji reacted, which was equivalent to testing Changsun Wuji step by step.

But Changsun Wuji still didn't make any movement.

After seeing this, Li Zhi couldn't help but wonder, could my uncle really compromise? Since you are unmoved, I will go further and start his ultimate goal, to abolish Wang Liwu.

The deposed king and the establishment of Wu will have to be divided into two steps. You can't say that the reason why I deposed king is to establish Wu. Although the essence of the matter is like this, it would be too heartless and unfaithful to say that the ministers would stand up and oppose it, let alone the opposition. So although these two things are closely linked, when it comes to operation, they have to operate separately.

This first step is of course the destruction of the king.

The abolished king must have a suitable reason. If he has not given birth, it cannot be considered a legitimate reason and is not in accordance with the rules.

So, Li Zhi finally issued a decisive imperial edict, that is, Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu conspired to poison me and Wu Zhaoyi, and I decided to demote them to common people, and all his mother and younger brothers and sisters were exiled to Lingnan.

This crime is really poisonous.

The so-called conspiracy to poison is of course a false charge.

But this is a matter in the harem, so the ministers know that it is your emperor who has the final say.

But then again, there is no reason for this. Maybe this is Changsun Wuji's last fight with Queen Wang, to poison Li Zhi to death and then make the crown prince the emperor.

This is very likely.

There were many different opinions for a while, and there were endless arguments in private.

As for demoting all their relatives to Lingnan, it was actually a blow to Changsun Wuji's power in the court, because it also involved many officials. Of course, Li Zhi was only dealing with their family, not the entire Wang family of Taiyuan, or the Xiao family of Lanling. However, Li Zhi also appointed Li Yifu to continue to investigate the matter thoroughly, whether Queen Wang still colluded with the ministers to plot against me.

This move was not just to use this to pull Changsun Wuji into the water, but to warn the opposition led by Changsun Wuji that if anyone dares to make any changes, then you have conspired with Queen Wang, and murdering the emperor is not a minor crime.

As soon as this case occurred, people in the government and the country were panicked, but on the surface it seemed very quiet.

The inner court is just the opposite of the outer court, and the hearts of the inner court have become stable, because this result has finally come out, and everyone no longer has to be anxious and don’t know how to take sides, but it is very lively on the surface.

After this imperial edict was issued, a group of eunuchs and palace maids were ordered to rush to the main palace to arrest the Queen Wang.

Because Wu Meiniang is not the queen at the moment, she is not inconvenient to come forward, otherwise she would have to show off her power. Moreover, at the critical moment, she still restrained her impulse to avoid being verbally quarrel. The more she was, the more cautious she seemed.

But when they arrived at the main palace, they were stunned. They saw the queen wearing the magnificent set of court uniforms and crowns, neatly laid on the couch in the hall, and there were some gold, silver, jewelry, silk, silk and satin that the emperor had given her before.

Queen Wang was wearing a gray plain skirt, which was made of linen cloth, and sat alone on a wooden bench. When she saw them coming, she stood up and said lightly: "You are here."

After all, I was still the queen a moment ago, and it was very majestic when I was together.

Those eunuchs and palace maids were really scared and stood in front of the door and didn't dare to go in.

Suddenly, the fat eunuch in the lead stood up and shouted, "You are still standing and doing something, and quickly take down this prisoner."

Queen Wang said, "Just lead the way, I will walk with you."

After she learned all this, she knew that she was incompetent, so she prepared all the queen's belongings and placed them on the table to avoid these servants from touching her, because in her opinion, this was an insult. After all, she was a descendant of a famous family and was still in integrity. I lost and wanted to kill and cut, and I accepted it, but no one was allowed to insult me.

But Wu Meiniang knew her personality too well and hated Queen Wang's arrogant personality the most. When she first entered the palace, Queen Wang did not regard her as her best friend, but regarded her as a subordinate. Queen Wang was cold to everyone, which made Wu Meiniang always hold a grudge. Although she could not be present in person, she would never let Queen Wang go like this.

The fat eunuch yelled and said, "You still think you are the queen. Now you can't help me. Why don't you take this person down?"

The other eunuchs and palace maids rushed forward.

An old lady and palace maid directly pulled off the wooden hairpin from Queen Wang's head. Why did you, a serious criminal, combed your hair so neatly, but you saw that the three thousand black hairs spread out like a waterfall.

A panic flashed in Queen Wang's eyes and shouted angrily: "What do you want to do?"

But her drinking had no effect at all. She was already a commoner, and the status was the same as these eunuchs. But when an old woman on both sides grabbed Queen Wang's hands, a woman behind her wanted to press Queen Wang's head down. This was all instructed by Wu Meiniang. She wanted Queen Wang to lower her head and bend her body to walk out, because Queen Wang has always been holding her head up and her chest up, and she is so gorgeous, elegant and arrogant.

However, Queen Wang was very cold-hearted. In addition, she was born in a famous family and was influenced by good etiquette and family glory since she was a child. She did not know how to compromise and refused to bow her head when she died. Her teeth were tightly bit her red lips, and blood not only dripped outwards, but eventually dripped down without saying a word. Although her hands had been captured behind her back, her body was always straight.

The two old wives tried their best to press Queen Wang's head down. Queen Wang refused to bow her head, and tears were already spinning in her eyes. She had never received such treatment. She felt very wronged in her heart. This grievance and glory were intertwined, which also made her burst out with amazing power.

Because she felt that she was not wrong. If you emperor wants to kill me, I dare not refuse to obey, but you cannot let me bow my head and admit my mistakes, nor can you insult me. I did not poison it. This is what you framed me. Soldiers can be killed or humiliated.

The two old women were a little scared when they saw that Queen Wang was so tough and wanted to be tough again, what if they were killed, they were a little scared and looked at the fat eunuch with a little timidity.

"You useless things"

The fat eunuch walked forward and punched Queen Wang in the stomach.

"ah--!"

Queen Wang had never been beaten before, and she could not help but scream and fell forward with a punch.

The two old wives and palace maids behind her immediately tied her hands tightly behind her back, making her body bend to ninety degrees.

After all, it was Wu Zhaoyi's instructions, and no matter what, this must be done. If they can't do this, they can't do it well, so they can make a p-something.

At this moment, Queen Wang's spirit was almost broken, and she felt that her noble dignity was ruthlessly trampled on by these servants. Tears fell down and she bent down and was taken out.

She also became the first deposed queen since the Sui Dynasty, Empress Dugu, Empress Xiao, Empress Dou, and Empress Changsun. They were all virtuous queens of a generation and were famous. Although Empress Xiao had many twists and turns, Yang Guang still respected her very much. He had a high reputation and had a good ending.

Queen Wang has been so many charges for no reason, and was shot while lying down. She killed the princess, was also angry and poisoned to murder the emperor. No case has been investigated specifically. Now she is still humiliated by such a lowly person. Can you feel good?

But the palace struggle is so cruel. If Wu Meiniang loses, the outcome will be the same. This cannot be blamed for being ruthless. These are all routines. Moreover, Wu Meiniang was approved to get into the palace, which is equivalent to being tied up in a cocoon and being unreproachable.

But then again, she can't blame her. First of all, if she had no feelings for Li Zhi, she married Li Zhi by her parents' orders, and did not covet the queen, because Li Zhi was still the King of Jin at that time, and there were Li Chengqian and Li Tai, and this emperor was not the turn of Li Zhi. But God favored Li Zhi so much and gave Li Zhi a dragon throne to Li Zhi. As a result, Queen Wang became the queen while lying down.

But Empress Wang is actually from the same lineage as Empress Dugu, Empress Xiao, and Empress Changsun. They are all from famous families, smart and resolute, talented, well-educated, and well-known beauties since childhood. Empress Wang is famous for her beauty. Even the history books later recorded her, dignified and virtuous, and extremely beautiful. Logically speaking, she is very suitable to be a queen.

But sadly, she met Li Zhi. Li Zhi's personality was cowardly, which was very different from other emperors. Moreover, Li Zhi liked people older than him, who might tend to be an ideology and could assist him in his life. Queen Wang felt that the queen was the harem and could not interfere in the affairs of the foreign court. The couple should be respectful to each other. When they were fine, everyone read books and wrote, just like Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and they didn't know how to please men. However, there were several men who liked to respect each other, and men were animals in the lower body. Li Shimin and Empress Changsun respect each other, but with other concubines, they were revealed and they were also an old wolf!

What's even more terrible is that Queen Wang's family belongs to Changsun Wuji, and she is also a member of Changsun Wuji, so Li Zhi will definitely not be able to tolerate her.

From the perspective of morality and etiquette, Li Zhi should never have been wrong. He himself knew that he was in the wrong. However, from a political perspective, Li Zhi had to do this. As an emperor, of course, he put the dragon throne under his butt first, and anyone could give it up. What's more, he really liked Wu Meiniang, not Queen Wang. All the reasons combined together lead to the tragedy today.

Unlike Queen Wang, Concubine Xiao Shu was a little different. She kept shouting and scolding. She was very dissatisfied. She had Wu Meiniang's ambitions, but she was stupid and did not have the wisdom of Wu Meiniang. She was more than enough to deal with a beauty like Queen Wang who refused to bow her head and did not know how to win the favor of men. However, when facing Wu Meiniang, she looked very tender, that was the fish on the chopping board, and was slaughtered.
