Lishan, Huaqing Palace.

Empress Wu crossed her arms around her chest and walked slowly in the dark night.

In the early spring, there was cold snow, and the four fields were white, stepping on it, creaking.

Her steps were chaotic and aimless.

The palace is magnificent, with the eaves of the feet and the red wall of Daiwa, like a solemn giant, with a stretched arm, sweeping the mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon.

There are thousands of guards standing on both sides, and there are thousands of people who are following behind them, and thousands of red lanterns stretch around, which can't illuminate her heavy face and can't dispel her loneliness.

For the first time in her life, Empress Wu felt a cold chill.

She is a strongman who breaks new ground and conquers the world, and she is also a ruthless and unscrupulous conspirator, and she is also an emperor with great talent and martial arts.

All beings look up, one person in eternity, laughing and scolding, sitting on the top of the nine heavens, tossing and turning, and stepping into the eight winds.

The heroes of the Quartet bow their heads, and all the nations are prostrate.

In the past eight years, the internal wind and rain have been smooth, the country is rich and the army is strong, and the external has been both graceful and powerful, and it is invincible.

The ministers and the people, no one dares to disobey again.

Only, it seems that everyone has forgotten, she is still a woman.

She is a woman, a woman who longs for men.

She is a mother, the mother of selfish children.

At the beginning of the Wuzhou Revolution, she showed her strength, never wanted anyone to notice this, regarded men as playthings, rolled over the bed last night, and added a knife and axe in the morning, never frowning.

Time has passed, and now, her femininity has become more and more irrepressible, and she has begun to covet stability, her carnal desire has decreased, and she is eager for long-term affection.

After getting the two brothers, there will be no more marquee around them, even if the two brothers are misbehaving, she also bends her mind to shelter, and when she gets to the end, her mind has changed, empathy, and she has no way to treat the two brothers, just don't see them anymore.

Doulu Qinwang wanted to provoke her relationship with Quan Ce, but on the surface, he just wanted to remove Quan Ce's military power.

In fact, it was the drunkard's intention not to drink, and not to mention the possible fierce reaction of Quan Ce, even if she successfully relieved Quan Ce's military power, it would be followed by an intensified attack on Quan Ce, and the party with vested interests took away the military power, and it must also beware of Quan Ce's counterattack, which will definitely be twisted into a rope and swarm up, gnawing at Quan Ce, a toothless tiger.

Knocking power into the dust, slandering his reputation, breaking his invincible golden body, expelling him from the court, until taking his life, like a rolling stone in the mountains, unstoppable, this is a road map that can be seen with the naked eye and cannot be stopped when it begins.

Either crush the conspiracy at the very beginning, or accept the final result, and there is absolutely no third way.

This is also the reason why Princess Taiping reacted so violently.

And her violent reaction was in the hands of Empress Wu.

She got an excuse, in the name of pity for her beloved daughter, to support the son in her heart, disposed of Doulu Qinwang, and deposed him from Beijing.

If everything is so smooth, then everyone is happy, but as for Doulu Qinwang, it is not in the heart of Empress Wu at all.

Speaking of which, the last time the Cisse front-line army lost contact, he should have been blamed and dismissed, and let him spend this Spring Festival in the phase, which is already a great grace of the emperor.

However, an accident happened.

Empress Wu's footsteps suddenly accelerated a little, the snowflakes under her feet fluttered one after another, her face was shrouded in the night, and she couldn't see clearly, only a pair of wise and transparent eyes, which were particularly distinct, but could not be described.

Princess Taiping swore in front of the Doulu Qinwang Mansion in public that Li Dan was the emperor, and she killed herself, like a dagger quenched with poison, piercing her heart.

After a series of bizarre games in the Shendu, Li Chongjun's position as the grandson was temporarily preserved, however, deep in the heart of the Empress Wu, the most suitable heir is still the prime minister Li Dan.

After all, this is her only surviving biological son, and she has the deepest blood relationship.

She has her own plans, she will not depose Li Chongjun's grandson, nor will she make an edict to succeed to the throne, after she lives for a long time, Quan Ce will be the master to support Li Dan to ascend the throne, and give Quan Ce the support of Qingtian, so that even if Li Dan will not reuse him again, he will not hurt him if he wants to.

Her wishful thinking was wiped out by Princess Taiping's blood oath.

Letting Quan Ce support Li Dan to ascend the throne is equivalent to letting him kill Princess Taiping with his own hands for his own life.

"He definitely won't ......" The lantern flickered in the distance, and a light obliquely illuminated the lower half of Empress Wu's cheeks, and her red lips trembled, and she whispered in denial.

Quan Ce's Zhan Lu sword, I'm afraid, would rather cut his own throat than hurt his woman.

Empress Wu's heart was surging with remorse, she regretted that she did not act earlier to ease the relationship between Li Dan and Quan Ce, but as long as the two reached the slightest tacit understanding, Princess Taiping would not support Quan Ce, reacted violently, trampled on the Prime Minister's Mansion, and made such a vicious oath.

"Don't pretend, you did ......it on purpose" On the side of Empress Wu's red lips, there was a clear trace of water slipping through, and under the dim light, a soft light flashed, and her lips were slightly opened, as if she was laughing and crying.

The prince and the ministers are the suspicion of all emperors, and the Empress Wu is no exception, the real prince in her mind is Li Dan, the prime minister, which naturally will not let the power of the second powerful person in the world get close to him.

If the courtiers do not fight or fight, what is the king?

She seems to be caught in a black cycle of death.

If you don't do a single step, you can make everything wrong.

Empress Wu suddenly paused, turned her head sharply, and looked at the white jade railing, standing solemnly and erect at the Eastern Capital Qianniu Guard Forbidden Army.

Liu Youqiu and Zhao Cang mobilized 2,000 elites into Chang'an City without authorization, not for the so-called investigation of the case, nor for the purpose of occupying the city, I am afraid, it was to protect the Yiyang Princess Mansion in Chang'an City.

As everyone knows, power and policy are important to affection, and his subordinates naturally understand this thoroughly, and when things are unstable, they take the lead in protecting his family.

As long as they are safe and sound, they will have no constraints and can deal with all changes calmly.

"Why?" Empress Wu raised her head, and the dark sky was a little snow-white.

It's snowing again.

Empress Wu's body is cold, and her heart is even colder.

She has tried all kinds of power strategies, set an example for monkeys to boil eagles, and did everything she can, and the power strategies have survived, step by step, and grow into a towering tree.

When she wanted to lean on the tree, get close to him, and even turn into a vine and attach itself to him, the tree erected all the thorns and put on full alert.

"Self-inflicted, self-inflicted......"

Aside from the identity of the female emperor, Empress Wu can't blame the power strategy, but she is the emperor, she is still a woman, two tsundere identities, she has a complete set, she can be willful.

So far, Quan Ce has no way out, he can only continue to strengthen and consolidate the foundation of his rights in order to protect himself.

Empress Wu can tolerate it, and even be willing to help him in her heart.

But he had to have a gesture that made her happy, and he had to break her dead about the heir.

"I'll watch your ......" Empress Wu Youyu dropped a sentence, her cloak fluttered, and she suddenly turned around, and everyone behind her was lined up on both sides like a tide, kneeling down in unison.

If Princess Taiping knew that this huge drama, instead of diverting the attention of Empress Wu, she forced her to tighten her power strategy, fearing that she would hit her head against the pillar and be miserable.
