Like the history that Zhang Yi is familiar with, Empress Wu is a woman with a strong desire for power, and she is not only ruthless to outsiders, but also to her own son.

When the third prince Li Xian was sixteen years old, Empress Wu sent Li Xian to join the army, on the grounds that Emperor Taizong won the world on horseback, and Li Xian, as the grandson of Taizong, should also go to the army to sharpen himself before he can take on important responsibilities.

After entering the army, Li Xian was not only required to eat and live with ordinary soldiers, not to mention that he did not enjoy any royal treatment, but also when he had completed two years of service in the army and saw that he could officially inherit the throne at the age of eighteen, Empress Wu suddenly ordered Li Xian's unit to participate in a United Nations peacekeeping operation in Africa, saying that it was to let Li Xian experience the cruelty of war before becoming emperor.

The prince came to the front line of the war in Africa, of course the Tang military did not dare to slack off, for safety reasons, they originally planned to let Li Xian show up on the battlefield to complete the explanation of the martial arts, but they did not expect that as soon as Li Xian arrived at the front line of the war, the rebels suddenly went crazy, regardless of life and death to attack the peacekeeping force station, and when the reinforcements arrived to repel the rebels, the regiment of the Tang Dynasty stationed in the United Nations peacekeeping force has been beaten to only half of the people, and almost everyone who is alive is injured.

The only one intact was Li Xian.

In order to protect him, more than 500 Tang Erlang died in a foreign country, and Li Xian's best friend in the army and Zhang Xuangan, who was also the captain of his personal guard, used his body to block the flying shrapnel at the moment of crisis, and finally died of serious injuries.

This battle left a huge shadow in Li Xian's heart, and after returning to China, he should have inherited the throne and took the initiative to go to the martial arts queen and asked to give up the throne.

Li Xian refused to be the emperor, and the cabinet and ministers couldn't force him to be the emperor, right? So the throne was vacant, and the attitude of the Empress Wu also played a key role, because when the cabinet ministers were persuading Li Xian to succeed to the throne, she agreed to Li Xian's request at the first time.

The cabinet minister had no choice but to put his hope on Li Xian's younger brother Li Dan.

Empress Wu and Li Zhi have a total of four sons and one daughter, and the youngest prince Li Dan is undoubtedly the best heir to the throne, but without waiting for the ministers to propose, Li Dan also learned from his brother to write to Empress Wu, stating that he did not want to be the emperor.

Although Li Dan is young, he is not stupid, how did Li Hong and Li Xian die, there have always been rumors in the palace related to the Empress Wu, plus the third brother Li Xian almost died on the battlefield, Li Dan can be regarded as understanding.

Although the emperor is good, he has to have the life to do it.

The two princes were resolutely not emperors, and the cabinet ministers quarreled back and forth, and in the end, everyone had to accept the fact that the throne was vacant and the Empress Wu was in charge of the country, and then it was twenty years.

Although it is said that the heroine is in charge of the country, the ability of Empress Wu to govern the country is not worse than the three emperors in front of the Tang Dynasty.

After quelling the Jiaozhi rebellion and stabilizing the internal affairs of the Tang Federation, under the leadership of Empress Wu, Datang changed the conservative national policy after World War II, and started a "cold war" with the United States in the international arena for more than ten years, and finally overwhelmed its opponents in many fields such as military, economy, science and technology, and people's livelihood, becoming the world's largest power.

Nowadays, the people of Datang regard themselves as the people of the Heavenly Empire, and they can travel all over the world with their Datang passports, and they are superior to others wherever they go.

In the early years, there were ministers in the cabinet from time to time to raise the issue of the vacancy of the throne, but in the past ten years, this voice has disappeared, on the one hand, the influence of the Empress Wu's control over the cabinet is increasing, on the other hand, after giving up the throne, the two princes Li Xian and Li Dan are now living well, and it is a good thing for them to stay away from the whirlpool of power.

Li Xian called friends to accompany him to play in the mountains and rivers all day long, and became a standard literary and artistic youth, no, he was middle-aged in literature and art; Li Dan became a playboy, concentrating on the career of picking up girls, and all kinds of lace news were endlessly in the newspapers.

However, the younger sister of the two, Princess Taiping Li Lingyue, has always been deeply favored by the Empress Wu, and has been actively involved in political affairs over the years.

Originally, all this had nothing to do with Zhang Yizhi, an autistic teenager, but Zhang Yizhi's father who died in overseas peacekeeping operations happened to be Zhang Xuangan, who exchanged his life for Li Xian's life.

Li Xian held Zhang Xuangan's hand before he died, and promised to take care of Zhang Xuangan's family, and after returning to China, in order to repay Zhang Xuangan's life-saving grace, Li Xian not only took Zhang Yizhi to take care of him, but also married his daughter who was not born at that time to Zhang Yizhi.

At that time, Zhang Yizhi had not been diagnosed with autism, and most people, including Li Xian, thought that Zhang Yizhi was just a little silent because of his young and sluggish personality, and he would slowly get better when he grew up, so the marriage was decided without any resistance at that time.

But what Li Xian never expected was that the daughter born later, the later Princess Anle Li Bao'er, would become his only child.

Watching her daughter grow up and become the first beauty of the royal family, Li Xian, who loves his daughter, of course had the idea of regretting the marriage, but this marriage was approved by the Empress Wu back then, and if you want to regret it, you must get the consent of the Empress Wu.

Li Xian was very afraid of his strong mother since he was a child, and wanted him to intercede with Empress Wu, first of all, he did not have the courage, and secondly, his situation did not allow him to do so.

Don't look at Li Xian's life in the years after giving up the throne, but the accidental death of his two elder brothers and the accident on the African battlefield have always made Li Xian live in the shadow of panic, especially as Empress Wu gets older, he begins to cronyism and reuse Wu's relatives.

It wasn't until Li Bao'er became an adult at the age of eighteen that he couldn't stand his wife Wei's begging with tears every day, and Li Xian mustered up the courage to prepare to see Empress Wu and plead for his daughter to dissolve the marriage.

At this time, Li Bao'er, who was already sensible, knew his father's difficult situation, and stood up without hesitation to stop Li Xian.

Later, Empress Wu summoned Li Bao'er into the palace and expressed her attitude that if Li Bao'er was willing to marry Wu Sansi's son Wu Chongxun, she could order the cancellation of Li Bao'er's marriage contract with Zhang Yizhi.

Li Bao'er rejected Empress Wu's conditions on the grounds that she didn't want her father to become a treacherous person, and resolutely chose to marry Zhang Yizhi, and even gave up the title of Princess Anle and the various treatments enjoyed by the children of the royal family.

According to the rules of the Li Tang royal family, if the princess marries a commoner, it is equivalent to automatically giving up the status of the princess, and at the same time losing the qualification of the heir to the throne.

For this marriage, the Li Tang royal family did not want to publicize it, Zhang Yizhi and Li Bao'er's wedding was extremely low-key, only Li Xian, Li Dan brothers and their families were present, and the Empress Wu only sent a palace attendant to watch the ceremony, and Princess Taiping even only said hello to Li Xian, and did not even mean to send someone over to congratulate.

And this wedding was also the last time Zhang Yizhi saw Li Bao'er, after which Zhang Yizhi was sent to this isolated Jinghu Villa, and only the two maids beside Li Bao'er came with him.

This long dream ended at the moment when Zhang Yizhi fell into the water, Zhang Yi opened his eyes and found that he was still lying in the familiar bedroom of Jinghu Villa.

Although Zhang Yi wanted to convince himself that this was just a dream, the gauze wrapped in his head and the back of his head with a faint ache all declared that all this was real, he was not dreaming, but really crossed over to a teenager Zhang Yizhi.

Zhang Yi on the earth is an orphan, and he has nothing to worry about before his death, I don't know if it is because of the excellent memory of the previous owner of this body, for all kinds of previous lives, as long as Zhang Yi is willing to recall, any details can be vividly remembered.

Although he occupied the other party's body, Zhang Yi was reluctant to pretend to be his name, after figuring out the current situation, Zhang Yi's first decision was to change his name, in his previous life he was called Zhang Yi, and in this life he is still only called Zhang Yi.

In order to express the commemoration of his predecessor, Zhang Yi decided to take Yizhi as his own character, anyway, everyone in the Tang Dynasty in this era has their own character, and it is as formal as the name, which also solves the disadvantage that many people with the same name can only be distinguished by ID numbers.

Of course, names are trivial, and what Zhang Yi is most worried about at the moment is his own situation.

The previous incident of falling into the lake was not an accident, but a premeditated murder, the son of the martial arts butler who drowned in the lake tricked his predecessor into the boat, knocked unconscious and pushed into the lake, but had an accident while camouflaging the scene of the capsizing, and he was entangled in the aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake and drowned.

Of course, even if the son of the martial arts steward survived, in the case that Zhang Yi was not dead, the mastermind behind the scenes would kill people in order to prevent the matter from being exposed.

Because of the limited clues currently available, Zhang Yi has no way to determine who the real culprit is behind the scenes for the time being, but the death of the martial arts butler's son has brought him a lot of trouble.

On the day of the incident, the martial housekeeper went out to run errands, and after learning that his son was drowned, he didn't even go back to Jinghu Villa, and went directly to Chang'an to sue the emperor, and beat a rake to say that Zhang Yi killed his son.

This old dog dares to reverse black and white like this, and the confidence is not that Zhang Yi is really suspicious of this matter, but just because his surname is Wu, and he is now the most favored Wu Sansi in front of Empress Wu, a distant cousin who has already come out of five suits.

The arrogance of Wu's relatives can be seen from this.
