Chapter 56 Let's use these three heavenly tools to establish a prince
Immediate storage? What a distant word, she hadn't even thought about it.
The old lady lives a chic life, this throne, I want to be for another 500 years!
"Your Majesty, on the top of the statue, three runes of paper have been lowered."
Li Ran saw her increasingly unhappy face, and accepted it when she saw it, and all the auspicious visions disappeared, making everyone think that the gods had left...... If you don't leave, maybe Wu Zetian will be furious on the spot and make a fuss.
“…… You go and take it off. ”
Wu Zetian took a deep breath and suppressed his unhappy emotions, and Feng Chan, who was originally hearty, made a heartwarming thing at the last moment.
However, the immortal manifestation, its suggestion must not be ignored, at the very least, look at what the three heavenly machine talismans have written.
After opening them one by one, Wu Zetian's face changed instantly, as if he was petrified again.
The reaction was expected, the content of the rune paper, naturally written by Li Ran, has been hidden at the top of the statue, and a small mechanism has been set up that can be popped out, anyway, this statue is twenty meters high, who has nothing to eat and is full to climb up to see what is going on?
On the first rune paper, it reads, "Not available to people who are not blood relatives." ”
It is very understandable, with Wu Zetian as the center, the immediate family members or siblings of the upper and lower generations.
On the second rune paper, it is written, "It is not available unless it is exemplified by a virtuous minister." ”
It is also clear at a glance that this crown prince must be recognized by the ministers, at least more than half of the votes, otherwise the throne will be in jeopardy in the future.
However, this third rune paper is very strange.
It reads, "Non-forcible holy names are not available." ”
Literally, a well-known person with an excellent positive image of good luck...... First of all, it is difficult to define a famous person, and everyone is famous in the countryside and everyone knows that they are celebrities, how famous is it!
And strong luck is even more nonsense, do you still take out your life history to dry it to see if you are lucky?
"Your Majesty, the Zen seal has ended, and all the officials are waiting, so it's better to step down first, if you think these three runes are difficult to understand, you might as well ask the learned people in the court, such as Zhang Khan Zhi and the like, maybe you can solve it."
Li Ran looked at her frowning and hurriedly gave a hint.
He wanted to write Li Xian's name directly, but the effect was no different from throwing the old man into the fire pit.
With Wu Zetian's suspicious character, if she didn't cut off Li Xian's head on the spot, she would be soft-hearted.
Therefore, the content on the rune paper must be simulated and limited, the scope must be limited to ten people, and Li Xian must be shortlisted.
“…… Drive back to the palace! ”
Wu Zetian walked down the Fengzen platform and looked at Li Ran, "You go with me." ”
"Wechen obeys."
I was mentally prepared, this girl was determined to ask about all kinds of details today, and Li Ran didn't plan to relax for a while.
Following the carriage into the imperial study, the manuscript in his heart was ready, and without waiting for Wu Zetian to speak, Li Ran rushed to salute and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty." ”
“…… What are you guilty of? Wu Zetian was suddenly stunned, what is wrong with this rhythm.
"It was originally a good thing for the minister to divinate and pray for blessings to lead the gods to appear, but this god was not interested, and he mentioned the emperor's difficulties, alas, it was the minister's negligence."
When the words fell, Li Ran's heart was raised to his throat, playing with self-blackening was no different from dancing on the tip of a knife.
But the benefits are also large, Wu Zetian waved his hand depressedly, "That's it, you are also loyal, I don't blame you for this." ”
Take a look, smoothly turn the danger into a disaster.
"What do you think of these three runes?" , Wu Zetian asked in a deep voice, "The meaning of the gods, is my throne unstable?" ”
"The emperor is blessed with great fortune, the country is eternal, and the gods have favored the emperor, and they will definitely not think that the emperor is not worthy of the throne."
Li Ran hurriedly brought a wave of rhythm and said in his heart, "Weichen thinks that the gods gave these three runes just to guide the emperor to find a suitable heir, and did not immediately ask the emperor to establish a prince. ”
"Well, I think so too, it's child's play to establish a reserve, don't be hasty."
These words obviously touched Wu Zetian's heart, and she instantly became happy, "That being the case, let's not mention this matter for the time being, Li Ran, it is a great achievement for you to help me seal Zen today, and I want to appoint you as ......"
"Your Majesty, this matter must not be delayed."
Before the words fell, Zhang Cambodia's voice suddenly came from the imperial study.
Li Ran suddenly rolled his eyes depressedly, this old thing, he can't wait for Wu Zetian to give the reward and then make trouble!
Speaking of which, he suggested to Wu Zetian that he invite a 'learned' person to help him consult the Heavenly Talisman, so Wu Zetian summoned Zhang Khan Zhi to the palace to meet him...... Does this count as digging a hole for yourself?
"Prime Minister, what do you mean by that?"
"Your Majesty, the matter of establishing a prince, there is no benefit in delaying it any longer, if Your Majesty does not make a decision, a hundred years later, wouldn't it be that the heirs will compete for the throne, which is a big taboo."
Wu Zetian was furious, and slapped the case, "Zhang Cambodia, you are cursing me to die early!" ”
"The emperor is angry, and the minister has no such intention."
Zhang Cambodia hurriedly knelt down, but his attitude was still tough, "The minister is only thinking about the country's society, and he also asks the emperor to make a clear decision." ”
The two froze instantly, Li Ran was on the side, and sighed slightly...... It's tiring to be a peacemaker.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's words are not unreasonable."
first supported Zhang Khan Yibo, and then changed his words, "However, the method is still to be discussed, this god gave three runes, and the order should be very important." ”
Obviously, this new idea made the two of them confused, Li Ran smiled, "The first rune paper is to determine the candidate by blood relationship, the second rune paper is to determine the candidate based on the opinions of hundreds of officials, and the third rune paper is to determine the candidate based on the reputation of the people, and those who can pass the three thresholds will be finally decided by the emperor. ”
The routine is not unusual, it is equivalent to taking a step back, Wu Zetian don't keep dragging it out, Zhang Cambodia don't choose the prince tomorrow, the one-year buffer period is enough for Li Ran to make a few more strong sums of money for his father-in-law, and Wu Zetian can't agree if he doesn't want to agree at that time.
"Having said that, what if after two years, you can't find a candidate who meets the requirements of the Three Heavenly Talismans?"
Zhang Cambodia finally asked a constructive question, which was rare for God to assist, Li Ran immediately smiled and asked rhetorically, "Prime Minister, one year is not enough for the emperor to cultivate a candidate for the crown prince who meets the conditions of the three heavenly machine talismans?" ”
Instead of audition, it is better to cultivate one according to the template, which is much more time-saving and labor-saving.
“…… I see, it's old and confused! ”
Zhang Cambodia suddenly felt that he was convinced by this arrangement, and immediately played, "Your Majesty, Cheng Lilang's words are reasonable, you can discuss the intended candidates with the chief officials of the three provinces and six departments in the court tomorrow, or three or five, or seven or eight, in short, they will all give one year, and after one year, the person who meets the conditions of the three heavenly machine charms will be established as the crown prince, what does the emperor think?" ”
“…… Just follow the Prime Minister's words. ”
Wu Zetian is of course unhappy, she has a strong desire for power, how could she like this method of not being able to grasp the decision?
However, Zhang Cambodia is the head of the hundred officials, and his opinions, to a certain extent, also represent the meaning of the scholar class, so they have to be adopted at their discretion.
"Your Majesty, the ministers still have a way to choose people."
Li Ran almost laughed out loud, with Zhang Cambodia in front of him, his little tricks could be unveiled.
