As soon as he entered the imperial city, Li Tong sensed that the atmosphere was unprecedentedly tense, the number of troops deployed inside and outside the Duanmen was more than double that of normal days, and the streets were full of patrolling soldiers. In the past, the officials bowed their heads one by one, and they did not have the leisurely and calm chatter of the past.

After the meeting, Li Tong was planning to go to the Wei Mansion to change his robe and then enter the palace to face the saint, but not long after the line, Daozuo suddenly rushed out of a green-robed official, grabbed Li Tong's robe belt and said quickly: "The emperor's heir has no counter!" Ask for redress on the occasion of the Holy Majesty! ”

Seeing this, the officials were shocked, and hurriedly pulled the man away, and the man still did not stop after being pushed away, pointing at Li Tong and saying loudly: "The Tang family has no blood left, if Your Highness swallows himself cowardly today, once the emperor's heir cannot avoid disaster, His Highness will have trouble with him......"

The noise here quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding pedestrians and courtiers, and they all stopped to see how His Royal Highness would react.

Li Tong knew that it was inappropriate to say anything at this time, but when he saw that the man was still shouting and following and pestering, he raised his hand to help this person straighten his head, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since you are pretentious and loyal, don't lose your temper, don't lose your form." ”

The man was still about to grab Li Tong's wrist and continue to appeal, but Li Tong had already withdrawn and retreated, and hurried to the Wei Mansion surrounded by the officials, ignoring the man's shouting.

When he arrived at the gate of the Wei Mansion, a backward official hurried up and said in a low voice: "The madman named Xu Zhi is the food doctor in the palace. ”

Li Tong nodded slightly after hearing this, indicating that he understood. Lai Junchen appeared to complain about the change, directly leading to the big case, the courtiers were timid, and the atmosphere of the entire imperial city was so solemn that it was almost impossible to see.

He didn't know whether that person was really loyal and unbearable, and couldn't bear to be falsely accused of the emperor's heir, or if he was instructed by someone to implicate him in the case, but he just instructed the official that if there was a later investigation by the imperial history of Xiantai, he would just tell the truth and not hide it.

After returning to the yazhong and changing the armor, Li Tong led a group of preparations into the palace and came to the Wucheng Hall where the holy driver was located. Because the prime minister was doing things in the palace, he stood under the corridor of the temple with his sword.

Soon after, the prime minister Wei Yuanzhong and Dou Lu Qinwang walked out of the palace, and Wei Yuanzhong saw the acting king, and stopped and bowed slightly. Doulu Qinwang looked solemn, and he had no intention of communicating with people at all, and after leaving the hall, he went down the stairs with his head borrowed, which showed that he was in a heavy mood.

After a while, an internal official came out of the palace to summon him, and Li Tong approached the palace. When he swept his eyes, he saw that the number of attendants in the hall had increased, especially the women near the imperial case, with big shoulders and thick waists, and a strong physique that was not inferior to men, he couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.

Wu Zetian raised his eyes and glanced at Li Tong, nodded, motioned for him to sit down, and then said: "The military of the Northern Ya is different from the Southern Ya, and the general will lead you into the camp later, and after taking over the military, you will enter the straight night this night." It's a bit rushed, but it shouldn't be overwhelming. ”

After Li Tong heard this, he nodded and accepted the order, and did not say much.

However, Wu Zetian was a little irritable, and sighed: "You are a new good match, you should have a leisurely and short day, and enjoy some boudoir fun." But the incident happened suddenly, and there were few people who could trust it, so they could only add things in a hurry. ”

"The minister's family enjoys it, it is already a generous gift from the king, the clan is raised, and the ambition is thin, when the time comes, how dare you be lazy and self-pity, greedy for selfish interests!"

Hearing this, Li Tong clenched his fists and said.

Wu Zetian nodded, but said after a while: "The change that Lai Junchen complained, according to what you see, is it true or false?" When I entered the palace, I heard that your path was blocked, what was your opinion on what the subordinates did? ”

When Li Tong heard this question, he suddenly felt that his head was big, he got up and bowed in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "The minister is not involved in the criminal department, and he immediately entered the palace when he heard the news, and he really didn't know much, so he didn't dare to make a statement easily." But I feel that this matter is extremely paradoxical, if the emperor's heir really rebels, then there are few people in the world who can be loyal and boast of loyalty in the court, the opposition and the ministers! ”

After Wu Zetian heard this, his eyes became deeper, and his voice became a little ethereal: "So, do you also think that you have come to falsely accuse the emperor's heir in an attempt to make a big deal?" ”

"Within a stone's throw away, people's hearts are still unpredictable. The emperor's heir lives deep in recuperation, and his relatives and disciples do not dare to boast that they know well, but because of their feelings, they ask questions and dare to gossip. Come to a certain meandering grass, or follow the clues, and dare to make perverse statements. People talk about right and wrong, and they talk about the emperor's heir anyway, although things are different, but they have the same meaning. ”

Li Tong spoke in a slow tone and continued: "Where the emperor's position is, he is only affectionate and matter-oriented, and he is biased. For example, the minister and the king of Wei, although they have relieved each other, it is difficult to stop people's hearts and minds, each is in the situation, and the people who have their own trends are clumsy and treacherous, and they follow this. Although the minister lived in a simple place, it was still difficult to prevent his ears and eyes from prying eyes, and he sincerely knew that this was not deliberately harmed by King Wei, and it was just an evil that could not be eliminated in people's hearts. ”

Whether the imperial heir has rebelled or not, everyone knows this matter, and they can prevent it from inside and outside. I'm still being stared at by the Wei Wang's henchmen, so how can I be in the mood to think about that.

Wu Zetian pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "When the Right Jin Wuwei is short of personnel for a long time, can you be cautious and recommend talents?" ”

"The ministers are leading the guards, and it is inconvenient to recommend. But when it is very time, it is no longer sticky, there is an idle member Tang Xianxuan, who is a minister and a protégé, knowing that his ambition is extraordinary, and he can be selected. ”

Soon after he got married, the right Jin Wuwei Yuan was taken down. But then his energy has been focused on promoting the reform of Cao Yun, and he has no time to worry about this matter. Although there are people who are fighting for this position, it has not been successful. At this time, hearing his grandmother mention it, Li Tong simply launched Tang Xianxue.

Now is not the time to avoid suspicion, even the imperial heir has been attacked and rebelled, and his grandmother appointed him to divide the thousands of cavalry at this time, obviously to adjust the military structure of the Northern Ya and balance the kings of the martial arts. The reason why he took the initiative to bring up this topic is, of course, to make him worry-free.

Although it has reached the age of Wu Zhou and Wu Zetian has also been called the emperor, her power has never existed independently from the imperial power of the Li family, which is a natural limitation brought about by ancient political logic, and she will never be able to obtain independent and complete imperial power like male emperors.

It is precisely because she cannot obtain complete power that she has to give full play to her limited power, so as to create a strong and invincible image of herself.

The rebellion of the imperial heir is itself an attack on Wu Zetian's majesty, which will lead to a fundamental question, that is, where does your imperial power come from? This is a question from the soul that can shake the foundation of imperial power, and Wu Zetian asked Li Tong with this, which also revealed the entanglement of her mood at the moment.

If the rebellion of the imperial heir is true, then who should her source of imperial power depend on? But if we don't face up to this case and investigate it strictly, it may be fake now, but not necessarily later.

In history, the case of the emperor's heir's rebellion ended in such a tragic way as Legong An Jinzang's disembowelment Mingzhi.

Although the case was ostensibly suspended, the impact did not end there. After that, if you interpret it literally, it should be a continuation of the beginning. The name of the early year announced the official beginning of the Wuzhou Revolution, the world changed to the Zhou calendar, and the empress carried the beginning of the mandate of heaven.

Therefore, the change of the yuan and the extension of the load means that the imperial system returns to the beginning, and after the extension, there is another year name that is only used for more than 20 days as long live the book of heaven, and then the yuan is changed to prove the saint. It may be a bit tasteless to look at it alone, but if you look at it in connection with another historical event, it will have a taste, that is, the re-appointment in the late Western Han Dynasty.

Through this operation, Wu Zetian made another cut with the Li family's imperial power, and the so-called saint means that I am a saint, and continues to emphasize her own sacredness. And this journey to the Holy Enlightenment was burned to ashes by Xue Huaiyi in history.

Wu Zhou Dynasty, the year name changes frequently, it was originally a very serious matter, but Wu Zetian played a kind of fantasy upgrade flavor, and it is like a circle of friends, mood labels, just look at the year name can touch a lot of flavors.

Now that Li Tong is particularly involved, he doesn't know what the next situation will be, but since his grandmother has given him a chance, it is always right to strengthen his own power. Don't play it yourself in Beiya's division of the military power of the Wu family, the Wu family's new hatred and old hatred stimulated him to steal his home, then he really wants to cry without tears.

As for the moment, his grandmother has a little bit of fate with him and his fourth uncle. The three of them, the grandchildren, are now going to get together to tide over the difficulties together.

And after Wu Zetian gave the matter, he asked him about his opinion on the rebellion of the imperial heir, probably not without worrying about whether he would be bold and fall directly into the well and suddenly attack his fourth uncle.

At least now, Wu Zetian is by no means ready to give up Li Dan completely, and he himself is a little unable to control the subsequent development of the situation.

"You don't shy away from your relatives, Tang Xian's name is also stated in the Anxi Gong Book. However, after all, Kinai is different from the border affairs, and I hope that he can fulfill his duties. ”

Wu Zetian heard Li Tong so unpolite, nodded with a smile, and then said: "The newlyweds, but the husband has not returned for a long time, and later he will attract the bride to the palace for a short time, and the couple will have a convenient reunion in their leisure time, which also adds some forbidden feelings." This lady was chosen by her grandmother, and she should be in service to repay her kindness. ”

Li Tong didn't dare to refuse after hearing this, and it was not a bad thing for his family to enter the palace at this time, so he said: "King Yong's daily life is not lacking in simplicity, and the ministers are afraid of the situation and lack of good response. ”

When Wu Zetian heard this, his face improved slightly, the emperor's heir was falsely accused of rebellion, not only a political crisis, but also an embarrassment in morality.

"It's a good thing that evil feelings are disturbing outside, but they don't stop the joy in the door. The royal families gathered together, and the people talked freely, which can also fill the popularity of the palace. ”

Hearing his grandmother say this, Li Tong was happy again, for nearly a month, King Wei's constant appeal for nowhere to live was pitiful, and he didn't know if he was happy or not. Of course, he can't enter by himself, if he enters the palace at this time, then he may really have to compete for the Xuanwu Gate.
