Chapter Eighty-Six: The Empress Ascends the Throne and Wu Zhou is Established

The lingering golden autumn leaves jumped in the air with a whirling dance, but it did not drift into the distance with the momentum of the wind, but fell on Li Dan's shoulder after fluttering for a while.

Dan raised his eyes to look at Wan'er walking from the round arch on the other side of the courtyard, and saw that her beautiful face was gilded with streamers. His mind was relieved, even if he understood Wan'er's intention this time, he didn't feel any pressure.

What kind of situation is the current Datang, Li Dan has always dealt with it calmly with the wisdom of watching the fire. At this moment, there were several huge petitions in front of the main hall, and he naturally heard the rumors.

"Let's go." As Wan'er approached, Dan raised his steps to meet her, stopped his steps opposite her, and smiled with his chin, "Isn't this the moment we are waiting for?" Just don't delay any longer. "So is the addition.

Wan'er panicked for a while. Although Li Dan's calm reaction was what she expected, when she faced him, she would still have a trance similar to guilt and uselessness! Her heart was sometimes full and sometimes chaotic, and she couldn't calm down in time in front of him: "Please believe me." "The heavy tide of thought swayed in the heart lake, and finally suddenly it became a totem! Wan'er's heart moved, and when she was moved, she seemed to have a lot of things to say to Li Dan, she desperately wanted Li Dan to know what she was thinking at this time and understand her state of mind, but in the end there were only these four words.

But it's enough, although it's only four words, it's enough for Li Dan! As soon as his eyebrows were raised, in the glimmer of light under the flowing clouds, the smiling gaze that fell on Wan'er added a lot of softness, and it looked extraordinarily good-looking: "I have always believed in you, why do you still say such things!" Not in a questioning tone, he lowered his voice.

The question becomes an exclamation, but it makes people feel that a bay of thoughts are accumulated in the chest, blocked in the throat, and the heart is stuffy and uncomfortable.

It is true that Li Dan really didn't care about anything, and really understood Wan'er's sincerity in him and his mother, but Wan'er fell into the prison of her own thoughts and couldn't get out for a long time. Her heart was tossing and turning, and she didn't know why, she suddenly wanted to say "I'm sorry" to Dan, but she couldn't say it, and she didn't seem to be able to say it. I had to sink my head, pursed my lips and was silent.

"What are you waiting for?" Danyun moved the corners of his lips lightly, "Everyone petitions and inherits the destiny of the heavens, this is a good drama, without the appearance of me, the emperor, how can I continue to sing?" It should obviously be a heavy topic, but Li Dan said a playful tone and an indifferent attitude that doesn't make waves.

Wan'er's mind came back, and she didn't know how to continue to talk to him, so she bowed her head in response.

Dan smiled at her, turned around and walked out of the palace calmly.

In fact, he didn't need her to say or do much, he could understand her state of mind, and of course he also understood what he should do at this moment, and how he should cooperate with Empress Wu's early planning to continue singing this big drama of abdication.

The situation has been stacked here, no matter the carefully laid out man-made series of schemes, those petitions, auspicious or auspicious, quoting scriptures and scriptures, it is inevitable to ascend the throne as the emperor after the horizontal and vertical martial arts, and no matter how you look at it now, it is also a sense of fate that conforms to the will of heaven! Even if all this is deliberate, isn't it an irreversible destiny in the dark?

Under such an extremely climactic scene, Li Dan, the emperor, naturally couldn't sit still at this moment. Even if he didn't listen to Shangguan Wan'er's opinion in advance, at this moment, he had to stand up and hand over the imperial power and give up the emperor's mother!

Wan'er followed Li Dan step by step and returned to the lotus-shaped majestic platform, speechless all the way, and her thoughts were like waterfalls.

At this time, the queen in a gorgeous dress also lost no time in coming.

Li Dan's pale azure robe was bubbling in the wind, and there seemed to be a melancholy that could not be hidden, even desolate. But his face was calm and serene: "Please Mother conform to the will of heaven and the people, and do what you should do!" He knelt down in front of Feng Yan's majestic martial queen, his voice was steady and deep, and he couldn't hear the slightest unwillingness or reluctance. At this point, he raised his eyes again and made a gesture to the Empress Wu, "Please demote your son to the emperor's heir, and change your surname...... For the martial arts. "The knees on the ground hurt from the gravel! Dan immediately lowered his head shallowly, unable to see the gossamer expression between his eyebrows.

As smart as he is, he knows that the great mystery of judging the situation does not lie in hard fighting, but in tolerance. At the same time, he knows better what it is called - the general trend!

In this gloomy world covered by political power that cannot be escaped, a small self is never nothing. Whether he is happy or not, happy or not, he has never had the right to choose. He couldn't do anything other than bow down and surrender to fate. Actually, everyone is like that!

Shangguan Wan'er, who was standing on the side, had recovered her usual state of mind, and looked at Li Dan like this with a cold face, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, mixed with a shallow sense of sadness.

After a while, the honey-colored lip line of the Empress Wu had slowly opened. She didn't rush to speak, and stepped forward to help Li Dan up personally.

With the gentle support of the emperor of the dynasty, this small but vital move, everyone present all saw a meaning, that is, at the moment, the "three let and accept" this good ceremony was finally completed smoothly after the dust settled and did not fall in one step!

At this time, with the "three refusals", and finally the emperor's personal request, it can be said that the fire is just right, this holy and solemn Holy Mother God Emperor who has the mandate of heaven finally lowered his eyes and nodded solemnly with a slight but solemn meaning: "The more, this is also God's bestow!" ”

With the slight chin and the sound settled, everyone present suddenly shouted in unison, and fell to their knees again, and bowed to the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the only female emperor who has been in the rut of history so far, and exhaled the extraordinary "long live" voice loudly!

……

At this time, Empress Wu was already sixty-seven years old.

On the gate of heaven, she waved her hand gently; It is this gentle and uneventful historical wave of the hand that suddenly freezes and condenses into an eternal engraving in the annals of history.

Between the more than 5,000 years of history of China and the vicissitudes of wind and rain, a unique female emperor has been refined.

Since then, she has gained a name that has spanned the ages and has been passed down for thousands of generations - Wu Zetian.

At this moment, the majestic and vicissitudes of history are intertwined, and everyone present is bowing down to verify the creation of this epic legend full of divine deeds, and they are all excited and excited about it!

Everywhere the breeze passed, Princess Pingping, who was wearing bright red and wide gold veins, stood steadily, and her figure was faintly revealed by the dark color reflected in Xiao Xiao's weeping willows, and this well-constructed bureau was condescending and full of eyes one by one. On such a crucial occasion, as Li Tang's princess and the daughter of Empress Wu, she will definitely not be absent.

With inexplicable reverence and emotion, she looked at the person beside her who was destined to sit high in the hall, her mother, with a gaze that she had never seen before.

Mother is about to become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty......

But if you take away the makeup and gorgeous clothes and remove the emperor's mother, isn't she just a woman? An ordinary woman who is no different from any woman in this world. is such a woman, what kind of precipitation is born and carried in her slender jade bones, so that she can go all the way to such a supreme high point of the throne that ordinary people dare not even dare to have?

Taiping's moist eyes rippled, sliding lightly over her mother's beautiful face, even though it was dyed by wind and frost, even if it was precipitated by vicissitudes, but the blood was pale and vibrant...... It's just mother, aren't you really tired after walking so far and crossing so many hurdles? Really never wanted to stop and take a good rest?

Taiping felt a pang in his heart, and suddenly realized how sad the woman who had achieved her wish and ascended to a high position was actually so sad! But on second thought, what about herself?

After all, there is no escape, born in such a situation, tied to such an indelible identity, the path that my mother has taken in the past and now is destined to be a long journey to embark on in the future!

Mother, the poison of power is buried with your own hands after all, but after all, it will only be a lifetime, and in the end, it will be difficult to escape that day, and what can you really get when that day wades through the water and comes as scheduled?

Man, sometimes it's sad to think about it!

I am your daughter, and I have to continue the river you have crossed, the road you have traveled, and the footprints you have carved will not allow me to walk without the slightest hesitation.

This fate is given by God, and we have no choice but to obey. If we act against the sky, we will be wiped out and die without a place to be buried......

Suddenly, my heart felt like I had been slammed! Taiping woke up and recalled, subconsciously raised his hand and covered the atrium of the jumping drum, only to feel that his breath was as heavy as a stained lead! .

Emperor Wu and his people, looking back at the road they have traveled over the years, suddenly realized that it has been cast into a lingering and ambiguous, reverberating epic song......

This woman, she is bold and Yingrui, not losing to the man with eyebrows, and she is elegant and virtuous. She really has amazing talents, practice and an open heart that can accept all rivers; But at the same time she is arrogant and conceited.

On the long road she came, she continued to alternate and overlap in a complex intertwined maze about morality, about men and women, about moderation and etiquette, etc., which was really a long and protracted war, in which there were inevitably victories, setbacks, persistence, and compromises...... But there is one thing, she has always been stubborn and has never flinched.

How many years ago was that?

She entered the palace at the age of fourteen and became a talented person of Taizong; At the age of twenty-five, he was Gaozong Zhaoyi; At the age of thirty-two, she was Empress Gaozong; At the age of forty, he was called the two saints together with Gaozong; promoted to diva at the age of fifty; became the Queen Mother at the age of sixty; After exhausting most of his life through thousands of difficulties and dangers, and dedicating all these quiet years to the scheming and dark power struggle, he finally climbed to the apex of the most brilliant expansion of life and power at the age of sixty-seven, and ascended the throne as emperor!

Since then, the "God Emperor" and "Our Lady" have become one and reign over the world.

……

Emperor Wu claimed to be a descendant of the Zhou Dynasty, so although he still used "Tang" as the country name for the time being, he changed the law to implement the Zhou calendar (that is, November every year as the beginning of the year).

Her official enthronement ceremony was chosen on the ninth day of September of the following year, such as the day of the double number of yang.

Li Tang's qi came to an end, and the majestic martial arts dynasty began to emerge, standing tall with its unstoppable momentum on the ruins of fate!
