In Lin Wanxiao's eyes, Wu Ning is a young talent with a bright future.

However, life is like this, outsiders can only see the glamorous and moving side, who knows, behind this team of brothers surnamed Mu who gradually disappeared into the dense forest, how much sadness and pain are hidden.

Lin Wanxiao is not wrong about one thing, that is, Mu Zijiu's name, as well as the Long Road Dart Bureau and the Mu family brothers, will definitely be known all over the world.

Because, there is no way back for them!

Because, only when the world is heard, can the Wu family's bloody case see the light of day again.

As for when will that moment come?

Wu Ning doesn't know, no one knows. They could only forge ahead silently, silently burying the winter night of blood and snow deep in their hearts, until all the arrangements of Wu Ning were completed one by one.

And that's eight years!

.....

————————————

Eight years later, in 698 A.D.

In the first month, Wu Cao, the son of heaven of the Great Zhou Dynasty, took the winter solstice as auspicious in the first month of Jiazi Shuo, changed the year name to the holy calendar, and granted amnesty to the world.

So far, it has been eight years since Wu Zetian became a generation of empresses on behalf of Tang Zili.

In the past eight years, although the border attacks have been continuous, the Khitan and Tubo have been repeated from time to time; Nanzhao and Zhancheng still have bad intentions.

However, looking at the rule of the Tang Dynasty, it is the country and Thailand, and all industries are prosperous.

Eight years ago, whether it was the court or the people, there were still a lot of complaints about the heroine in the world. Removing the struggle for power, even the people are worried that the towering Tang Dynasty will fall into the hands of this woman.

However, this is not the case.

Thanks to the policy of attaching importance to maritime commerce and supporting the Western Regions, the Great Zhou Dynasty can be described as changing with each passing day and thriving.

Not only are the coastal states becoming more and more affluent, but even the blessed land of Lingnan has become as prosperous as the Central Plains, and even the inland places have tasted the sweetness due to the prosperity of commerce and trade.

On the big festival of the year before last, Wu Zetian took advantage of the situation to summon the world, lift the curfew, and abolish Fang City.

Since then, merchants can enter the workshop, officials and merchants are on the same street, resulting in new profits for merchants in the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court taxes have been rising, which has really created many Huacheng that never sleeps.

This year, taking the opportunity of Najib's change of year, Emperor Wu issued an order to all states to relax the distribution of commercial offices, which can be regarded as completely opening the commercial floodgates of Datang.

Others don't know what to think, but many proletarian tenant farmers heard about this order, but they were moved to life and began to wonder whether it was possible to move to the city and find another future when merchants were emerging in the city.

......

Of course, it is indeed a good thing that the world is stable and the finances and taxes are abundant.

However, for the court, which will always have endless rights and endless profits, it has not improved, but has become more and more intense.

And all of this stems from Wu Zetian's vacillation about the matter of Lichu.

......

——————————

Princess Taiping's Mansion.

For the powerful Princess Taiping, who is no longer what it used to be, has been a little anxious recently.

At this time, Her Royal Highness the princess sat crookedly in the main hall of the mansion, with her slender jade hand supporting her forehead, her eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and her eyes looked at one place blankly, as if she was thinking about something difficult.

......

After careful calculation, Princess Taiping is more than thirty, but Yue Sui seems to have spared this woman and has not left any traces on her.

Except for some depth in her eyes, everything is the same as back then, like a girl.

However, in today's Great Zhou Dynasty, if anyone treats Princess Taiping as the little woman of the year, I am afraid that they will have to suffer a lot.

Eight years ago, Her Royal Highness the princess set up a mansion to recruit talents, snaring the ministers, from an ignorant princess who had no relatives in the court, to now being able to compete with Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi.

Who would dare to underestimate this woman?

......

just sat like this, and after a while, the princess's mansion chief Shi Gao Yanfu stepped in.

"Your Highness!"

Taiping still closed his eyes: "Say it!" ”

"Back to Your Highness, Cen Changqian has replied."

Taiping was stunned, slowly raised his head, and seemed to be interested: "What did Cen Zhongshu say?" ”

"He said...."Gao Yanfu paused, as if the next words were not what Her Royal Highness the Princess wanted to hear.

"Cen Changqian said that His Royal Highness has the grace of his life, but this invitation is against his duty, but he can never go the same way with His Highness, and I hope His Highness will bear with him."

"Alas!!" Taiping sighed and said to himself, "Cen Zhongshu really refuses!" ”

In fact, Taiping expected it at the earliest. changed to something else, although Cen Changqian was a direct minister, but for the sake of the face of the past kindness, he would more or less help her.

But this time when it comes to the matter of Lichu, Cen Changqian said that he would uphold his principles.

......

Here's how it happened.

Wu Zetian has been on the throne for eight years but has not been appointed as a prince for a long time, no matter how the courtiers ask for persecution, the old lady just can't make up her mind who to appoint.

Is it Lili or Liwu?

The courtiers on both sides were also inextricably linked.

Seeing that the old lady was old, she couldn't stand up. However, there is still no conclusion on who should be established.

At the beginning of spring, the courtiers pressed tightly, and the Khitan committed Youzhou again, which also involved the matter of establishing a prince.

Wu Zetian had no choice but to play Tai Chi, and first returned to Beijing the edict of Li Xian, the king of Wei, who had been in Bazhou for 16 years.

This made a group of courtiers who supported the old lord of the Li family secretly happy, could it be that the Holy Emperor changed his mind and wanted to reinstate Li Xian as the crown prince?

However, the good times did not last long, and after half a month, the old lady issued another edict, and recalled Li Xian, the king of Chu, who had been thrown in Fangzhou for 14 years, to Jingshi with his family.

Moreover, the old lady may not have felt that it was enough to call back these two sons, and called Li Shangjin and Li Sujie, who were born to Gaozong's maid Yang Gongren, back to Beijing.

It's going to be lively now, you know, now there are those who may be involved in the position of the prince, in addition to Wu Sansi, Wu Chenghei, and Li Dan, there are only these four heirs of Gaozong left.

Mrs. Wu is going to dance with a group of dragons, and it won't be a long time?

Now that there is chaos in the DPRK and China, there are those who support Wu Chenghei, those who support Wu Sansi, and those who support Li Xian or Li Xian.

The trouble is turned upside down and boiling.

Of course, in fact, there is a potential candidate, but no one dares to mention it, no one wants to mention it, that person is - Princess Taiping!

Over the years, Her Royal Highness the princess has recruited disciples, and her heart has been revealed.

If there is an empress, why can't there be a princess? Why can't there be another Empress!?

However, in the eyes of these scholars, one empress is enough, and there must be no more empress.

Therefore, among the many storage candidates, Taiping's momentum is the weakest.

This time, Her Royal Highness the princess found Cen Changqian and hoped that he would be more cautious in supporting the prince.

As a result, Cen Changqian was mistaken, thinking that Taiping wanted to win him over, so he had today's reply.

In fact, everyone misunderstood Taiping, and she never thought of fighting for this position by herself.

Let Cen Changqian be cautious, that really makes him cautious.

As for who Taiping wants to succeed to the throne, perhaps only she knows best in her heart.

......

"Your Highness....."

Gao Yanfu called softly, pulling Taiping back from his thoughts.

"According to the opinion of the lower officials, at this time, we should respond to all changes with the same, and it is better to speak less."

"If you don't know how to advance or retreat at this time, I'm afraid you will become the target of everyone!"

Taiping shook his head when he heard this, "Gao Changshi said it was late. ”

"Late?"

"Early this morning, the palace has already submitted a copy to His Majesty, and the matter of the prince should be acted cautiously and not lightly."

"Huh!?" Gao Yanfu was shocked, "Your Highness.... Your Highness's move is reckless! ”

"In this way, the Wu brothers, as well as those courtiers who supported Li Xian and Li Xian, will definitely point the finger at His Highness, and we will be in a passive situation!"

Taiping couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, "Why don't you know about this palace?" ”

But it can't be helped!! She is afraid that if she doesn't speak now, she won't have a chance to speak in the future!!

The matter of establishing a reserve is imminent!

Wu Chengsi has already spelled! Using all the connections he could use to put pressure on Wu Zetian, Guanlong officials also used the Khitan army as an excuse to strongly recommend Li Xian.

Some of the former ministers who deeply remembered Li Xian's talent back then were vying for the merit of the dragon!

The only two important ministers who have not yet spoken out, Cen Changqian and Di Renjie, are obviously inclined to choose one between Li Xian and Li Xian!

The palace reported that the Holy Emperor would rather delay the closing time of the palace last night, and also have a secret conversation with Di Renjie until late at night!!

I think I have someone in my heart, and I haven't spoken at this time, so when will I wait!?

What can you do with the peace? I had to take a risk, and I hoped that Wu Zetian would listen to her, and wait and see.

....

Thinking of this, Taiping couldn't help but ask Gao Yanfu: "Recently.... Did you receive any letters from Fuzhong? ”

Gao Yanfu heard it, "Is Your Highness talking about that nameless master?" ”

Shaking his head slowly, "No letter...."

“......”

Taiping was irritable!

I cursed in my heart: You bastard! When it was time to use you, there was no news.

That's right!

The person Taiping scolded in his heart was Wu Ning.

Although in the past eight years, Wu Ning has never met Taiping, nor has he given her a word.

But...

Whenever Her Royal Highness the Princess is struggling, she always receives guidance from a mysterious master.

Eight years ago, when she founded the Princess Mansion, her eyes were dark, and she was squeezed out by Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi.

It was the master who sent a name....

"Cen Changqian!"

At that time, Cen Changqian was persecuted and imprisoned for opposing Liwu as the heir.

Taiping saved Cen Changqian according to the instructions, and only then did he have this ally who was not an ally.

Six years ago, Taiping, who had just improved a little, was criticized by the ministers because one of the scholars she protected was found to be cheating in the department.

It was also the master who sent evidence at a critical moment to prove that the scholar was bribed and deliberately framed, and returned her innocence.

Five years ago, Lai Junchen set his sights on her and fabricated several charges to commit the crime of extermination.

It's that master again.... It is difficult to solve it.

Over the years, whenever there is a little difficulty in peace, the master can always send care in a timely manner.

Although there is no genus name.

But Taiping knew that it was Wu Ning! He had been watching her secretly and helping her.

But this time....

Where did you run this time!?

Why didn't it show up!?

.....

"Your Highness...."

Gao Yanfu couldn't bear to see Princess Taiping frowning, "This matter should be considered in the long run, and it should not be rushed." ”

"Your Highness, don't think too much, be careful of hurting your body."

"Hmm...."

Taiping nodded, "You go down, this palace is fine." ”

Gao Yanfu didn't move when he heard this, and said loudly: "Has Your Highness forgotten?" ”

"There is an important appointment after noon, but His Highness has to go."

"Huh?" Taiping looked up, "What appointment?" Hongu really doesn't remember. ”

Gao Yanfu smiled, "In the afternoon, the talented Mu Ziqi in Shuzhong was in the same year as the banquet in the Yueyue Tower, didn't His Highness say that he wanted to meet that Mu Ziqi a long time ago?" ”

“......”

After Gao Yanfu said so, he remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

But....

I couldn't help shaking my head and smiling bitterly, now that the court battle is already in a hurry, how can I have time to recruit any talents!?

Rubbing the side of his eyebrows, "Forget it...."

"Prepare a good gift and send it over, and the palace will not go to the palace."

"This ....."

Gao Yanfu is a little out of business.

"Your Highness, let's go....."

"The villain heard that King Yu and King Liang are ready to invite Yuelou to meet this Mu Zi period, in order to solicit."

"Even Li Xian, the king of Wei, who has just returned to Beijing, has insisted on getting involved in this on the grounds that he is also going to Beijing for Shudi."

"If Your Highness doesn't go, I'm afraid you'll be left behind."

Taiping didn't speak, she only felt a wave of tiredness hit her heart.

Secretly scolded Wu Ning again!!

Dead bastards! This palace has worked hard for you, but you are hiding idle!

And Gao Yanfu didn't know what Her Royal Highness the princess was thinking.

Thinking that Her Royal Highness the princess still didn't want to go, she hurriedly persuaded again: "Your Highness just didn't take a fancy to this Mu Zi period, and you have to give Shuzhong Ten Masters, the Long Road Dart Bureau, and..."

"And his mad Mu Zi, who is the leader of the Green Forest Alliance of the Nine Provinces......"

"What a face!"

“......”

Taiping was speechless for a while...

Ten Masters of Shu....

What are the Ten Heroes?

Accounts, kitchen knives, ghost seven;

Prostitute, scholar, knife eleven.

Ruthless Hachiro, fat Shura, and Uncle Jade Face shocked the west of Sichuan.

And Daoye... Not counting the future, counting the death period!

These messy rivers and lakes are reckless, what are the ten masters?

And that Mu Zijiu....

He was elected by the bandits of the world to become the leader of the Nine Provinces Alliance.

It's just ridiculous!!

But!

What's even more ridiculous is that these self-proclaimed noble imperial relatives in Beijing include themselves.

Now in order to win over this force to be reckoned with, he has to be cheeky to "encounter" by chance.....

Princess Taiping thinks it's ridiculous when she thinks about it!!

Stand up...

"Let's get ready...."

.....
