Li Zhi, who knew everything, would therefore recognize the true intentions of Empress Wu at the moment, but what surprised him was that Li Dan, who seemed to have no intention of ruling the government and was famous for letting the world three times in history, could actually perceive Empress Wu's deep intentions in an instant.

This unexpected discovery made Li Yi excited for a while, he didn't care that Li Dan had a transcendent ability to govern, but was curious about Li Dan, who has always been filial piety, Xuanzhen, and frank and rebellious, and entertained himself, and how deep he knew about the conspiracy of the Empress Wu.

According to Li Zhi's understanding, he has a better impression of Li Dan, this person is very wise, and he has been praised as a sage by all dynasties, which is not unreasonable.

Wu Zetian regent, Emperor Li Xian was unwilling to be a puppet and tried to support his own power, and was deposed as the king of Luling, Li Dan was elected by Wu as the new puppet emperor, but in fact he was detained in the deep palace and like a prisoner.

After several years of preparation, when she was acting for Tang Jianzhou, Li Dan at this time had to let it go, otherwise her life would not be guaranteed.

Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor, and in order to buy the hearts of the subjects of the old Tang Dynasty, Li Dan changed his name to "Wu Lun" and named him "imperial heir", that is, Li Dan was still the heir to the throne after his death.

In this way, Li Dan has been the son of heaven for 6 years and the heir of the emperor for 8 years, and he has been the first banner of the allegiance of the ministers of the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years, and he is also regarded as a thorn in the side of the Wu clan such as Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi to be eradicated first.

Some villains slandered Li Dan's concubine Liu and side concubine Dou (Li Longji's biological mother), who practiced the so-called "disgusting Gu" technique, and was executed by Wu Zetian, and the bones did not know what to do.

And Li Dan was also interrogated by the cool officials on fabricated charges, but fortunately the loyal ministers dissected Mingzhi, which saved the day.

When Wu Zetian finally gave up the attempt to "replace Tang with Zhou", he decided to return the throne to the son of Li Tang's bloodline.

The reason why he had to go to great lengths to find Li Xian, who had been exiled for 14 years, to replace Li Dan and become the crown prince was not because Li Xian had been away from the political center for many years, and his strength at this time was extremely thin compared to Li Dan, which was more convenient for him to control.

Therefore, Li Dan, the second prince, is also under the guidance of Wu Zetian's will, and he cannot control it.

In order to balance the new crown prince Li Xian, Wu Zetian was also renamed the prime minister, ending his career as a prisoner for more than ten years.

In the "Shenlong Coup" that supported Tang Zhongzong and forced Wu Zetian to abdicate, Li Dan's Xiangwangfu and his sister Princess Taiping contributed a lot and their power developed greatly.

Therefore, during the restoration of Tang Zhongzong, Empress Wei and Wu Sansi's Wuwei group did not dare to act rashly against the two, and the three parties maintained a delicate balance.

Li Dan first let the emperor's heir be located in the emperor's brother Li Xian, and resigned the prince's lieutenant, prime minister, and emperor's younger brother, but made him have a reputation of generosity and courtesy in the government and the opposition.

Therefore, in the royal family, it already has a high reputation like a sage, like Ji Zha, the prince of Wu who resigned from the throne many times in the Spring and Autumn Period, and is admired by the world.

Li Zhiji was keenly aware of Li Dan, and before his brother officially succeeded to the throne, he sensed that he was wary of his mother's rather subtle schemes.

It can be seen that under the good reputation of this person, he can always maintain full sanity, and the word "Rui" in Li Danmiao can be said to be appropriate.

Including the brilliant political achievements of his third son Li Longji, it also shows how wise Li Dan was to push back then.

Since then, Li Dan and his many children and grandchildren, flesh and blood, friendship, enjoy the prosperous scenery of the peaceful and prosperous world, and even more happy, isn't it the goal that Li Zhi has been working hard for?

Therefore, he glanced at Princess Taiping unobtrusively, there had been an exchange between the two before in a similar situation, and Li Zhi hoped that Taiping could detect something from it.

As he expected, under his own secret reminder, Taiping really had an idea, combined with her little knowledge

, and soon a bright color flashed in his eyes.

And at this moment, Li Xian was almost patting his chest and promised: "Queen Mother, please relax, the child knows in his heart, and he will remain rational about Pei Xiang's possible instigation!" ”

Empress Wu seemed to be very pleased and said: "It is very comforting to have the prince so deeply aware of the righteousness, understand the general situation, and take the overall situation into account!" ”

Next, Li Zhi was a little impatient with all kinds of superb performances, including the remembrance of the widow Sifu under the cover of sadness, and the expression of mother-son affection for a while.

In short, he has seen a lot of profound acting skills of this national performing artist.

It was Princess Taiping, who had always grown up by her side, who took care of her mother to rest, stepped out of the temporary bedroom of the martial queen, and looked for an opportunity to find Li Zhi to express her doubts, and a trace of hesitation in her eyes could be clearly distinguished.

Li Zhi shook his head and smiled:

"Whether the Queen Mother is good at interpreting the dark belly, the facts will reveal everything I said in the future. Anyway, you don't pay attention to everything that is going to happen, and I will hide and miss this time, maybe not in two years, during which I will secretly return to visit you! ”

"And our kids!"

"Yes, it's a pity that my own flesh and blood can't be seen with my own eyes for the first time, and I have to follow his surname!"

"Aren't you worried that your child's appearance will be too casual with you and the matter will be revealed?"

There was no panic in Taiping's smile, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"He or she looks more like you, don't you hide everything?"

Li Zhi actually knows the gender of the child, because in the daily life of the Eastern Mountains, he has used Zhenyuan to comb the fetus in his womb from time to time.

Although it is impossible to control the appearance of the child in the future, it is still possible to reduce his own breath as much as possible, and tend to be in harmony with the mother's blood and will.

"Then you tell me if it's a boy or a girl?"

"This is only our first child, there will be a fourth, a fifth, it doesn't matter what gender it is!"

"Do you want to give birth to so much? Won't my brother often pamper me in the future? ”

"Ha, don't you dare to say that, I still need Her Royal Highness the princess to be more favored in the future, and I can have fun every time!"

Taiping glanced at him with a wink, "You know how to tease me, and you don't miss people's reactions." ”

Although this glance made Li's heart flutter, he still remembered the current situation, so Li Zhi hurriedly changed the topic.

"The prince is wise and foolish, far more politically wise and knowledgeable than the prince who has a big heart and more than his ability. In this turbulent and turbulent political year, I only admire this person in this life if you want to survive safely in the cruel royal turmoil, and always maintain full sanity under the temptation of the supreme power in the world! ”

"Why didn't I notice it? And I was thinking about asking you just now, but my mother seems to care about my two brothers. ”

Li Zhi did not sneer, but adopted a more serious tone:

"Ling Yue, the battle for imperial power is also your family matter, and I will never try to intervene in this until you have fully accepted my inference! But you need to keep in mind that before and after the two brothers, there was the eternal queen before the meeting, and there was the immortal king later, and no matter how capable the two brothers were, they could only be reduced to foils. ”

Through Li Zhi's previous temptation, coupled with his various magical abilities, Princess Taiping has believed in his direction.

Now Taiping is actively approaching Li Dan's concubine Dou, and has shown great love for Li Longji, who was born not long ago.

So her last words to Li Zhi,

adopts a letter mentality, and she knows that according to Li Zhi's step-by-step deduction, she will be able to see the real chapter in Pei Yan and Li Xian in less than three or two months.

"Forty-nine days later, we will return to Chang'an City together, I think I will stay away from this period while you are avoiding!"

"Well, but during this period, I will give you two Yishou Pills, and your mother and mother-in-law will take them, but when I think about it, the Empress Wu may not dare to take it, then it is not your business and mine. After the pill is delivered to her, she needs to be specially instructed to take it even if she is sick, as for her insistence on taking it for testing, or if she takes it with a hard heart, I will not give it to her again in the future! ”

"I understand my brother's thoughts, maybe my mother will be moved when she sees my mother-in-law take it and sees the effect with her own eyes, right?"

"My opinion is different from yours, but I think that she is very likely not to take it, because she cares more about the country that she has obtained so hard!"

The communication between the two could not last long under the circumstances, and Li Zhi returned to the place where the mourning hall was set up.

Two days later, the crown prince ascended the throne in front of the coffin.

On the next day, Pei Yan really said that the heir has not yet been officially canonized as the emperor, and he has not listened to the government, so it is not appropriate to "issue an order to announce the edict", and it is recommended that "the order of the Empress Dowager be implemented under the door", and all decrees should be issued in the form of the Empress Dowager Wu Zetian's decree.

This result, for the new emperor Li Xian, is to admire his mother's wisdom.

Yu Wu later said that she finally obtained the right to dispose of state affairs logically, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As far as Li Dan said, Li Zhi had not yet found him to investigate this person further, but Li Dan came to the door that night.

During the funeral period, of course, it was not his Zhongyi Palace, but a temporary dormitory in the east hall of the Taiji Hall in the palace.

The east hall is another office of the emperor, and it is not a major event, and the general court meeting, banquet and ministers, and receiving envoys will be held here.

Li Xian, who has become the new emperor, actually treats Li Zhi very seriously, so on the day of his accession to the throne, he arranged a temporary residence for him and Li Dan in the East Hall.

But when Li Dan arrived that night, there was a person beside him, but it was Li Yuanying who had always made Li Zhi thunderous, but he had never met.

Who is this? The twenty-second son of Tang Gaozu, the younger brother of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, and the uncle of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.

This person's attainments in art are amazing, because he has been influenced by court art since he was a child, and has a certain degree of achievement in music, dance, and painting, and his artistic cultivation has laid the foundation for the future construction of King Teng's Pavilion.

Tengwang Pavilion is also famous all over the world because of the literary master Wang Bo who created an essay "Preface to Tengwang Pavilion" ten years ago.

Li Yuanying has made great achievements in the art of painting and calligraphy, especially painted many butterfly pictures, the most famous one is "Hundred Butterfly Pictures", and thus left a good reputation of "Teng School Butterfly Painting" in the history of the art world.

But what Li Zhi heard was an alternative rumor in addition to this, in the history of the Tang Dynasty, there was such a person, although he was a prince, but he always did not do serious things, like a scoundrel in the market, he has been disgraced to the royal family, he is Li Yuanying.

Of the several emperors in his family, none of them were willing to care about him, and they were all laissez-faire. But it is such a person, but later generations are speculating that he is wise and foolish, and in that era, only such a person can live for a long time.

This person is Li Shimin's youngest brother, although he is a prince, he has a very bad reputation and often does things that are out of tune.

Li Shimin thought of brotherhood, turned a blind eye, and when he came to Li Zhi, he was often angry with the emperor's uncle, but there was no way at all, and when Wu Zetian ascended to the throne, he didn't care about this little uncle directly.

Li Yuanying was crowned King Teng, built the famous Tengwang Pavilion, when Li Shimin was in power, he liked to eat and have nothing to do, take something similar to the current slingshot, and go to the street to beat the people to play.
