Because of the presence of Shangguan Wan'er, this person around the Empress Wu who can understand the subtleties in political affairs will make Li Zhi's future plans be targeted.

The martial arts are first-class, but the gap between the comprehensive level and the level of power is too big, Liu Chan is also this kind of person, but he doesn't need to work hard to be the emperor.

The empress has put a lot of thought into being the emperor, and finally forced the family into a desperate situation, although she successfully solved it with her power skills, but if she is not the queen mother, but from the prime minister to the emperor, then no matter how strong the power is, she can only wait for the extinction of the clan.

The Tang Dynasty throne is not so easy to do, and Empress Wu suffers from her improper name and unsatisfactory words, not to mention the principled issue of changing the dynasty that touches on the root of the surname Li.

The influence of the royal family surnamed Li is deep-rooted, and the only way for Empress Wu to ensure the longevity of her power is to expand her royal family, but this is a thirst-quenching trick to deal with the strong foundation of the big clan.

The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties played for three hundred years, and the royal family infighting staged scene after scene, but they still had to step into it again.

The Sui and Tang dynasties inherited the 300 years of turmoil and unification of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were roughly a three-legged pattern of Guanzhong, Hebei and Jiangnan, and then formed a regional interest group with the region as the link.

The Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, and Tang dynasties were in the same vein, and they belonged to the Guanzhong interest group, which of course caused dissatisfaction among the other two major interest groups, especially the Hebei interest group, and the Jiangnan interest group suffered heavy losses in the Hou Jing Rebellion and the subsequent Jiangnan War.

The formation of the Guanzhong interest group, that is, the Guanlong aristocratic group, is related to the Hebei interest group, due to the surrender of Gao Zhongmi in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Pishan War, the Western Wei Dynasty brought people from the six towns lost, and the hometown of the six towns was mostly occupied by the Eastern Wei.

In order to rearm and stabilize the regime, it had to make concessions to the local clans of Guanlong, and the Western Wei Dynasty should be the first regime to legally recognize that the clans could legally have arms, and the Eight Pillars and the Twelve Great Generals were the top clans.

The big clan is strong, and the interest groups in Guanzhong behave like the Eastern Jin Dynasty of gate valve politics, and the big clans take turns to sit in the village.

Therefore, the emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties were not so easy to do, not only to deal with the internal problems of Guanzhong, where the internal clans were strong and prosperous, and to take turns to sit in the village, but also to deal with the "external" problems of the two conquered interest groups in Hebei and Jiangnan.

For the "external" problem, the mainstream is still to pull south of the Yangtze River to suppress Hebei, and the abolition of Yang Yong, the crown prince of Emperor Wen of Sui, involved the Hebei forces, and Yang Jian let Yang Yong sit in Luoyang and manage the land of the old Qi after pacifying the rebellion of Wei Chi Hui, and Yang Yong also had a close relationship with the Hebei interest group.

Yang Guang served as the commander of the war against Chen, and later served as the governor of Yangzhou, managing Jiangnan, Yang Guang had a close relationship with the Jiangnan interest group, and this person's subordinates once said that if the seizure of the heir was unsuccessful, he would divide Jiangnan and restore the old Liang Chen, which shows his relationship with the Jiangnan interest group.

After the Tang Dynasty replaced the Sui Dynasty, it once again faced the problems faced by the Sui Dynasty, with the Longda clan being strong and prosperous inside, and the Hebei and Jiangnan interest groups entrenched outside.

The way to deal with it is almost the same, expand the royal family, pull the south of the river and press the north of the river.

After Tang Gaozong succeeded to the throne, the mother's family and the wife's family Wang were all Guanlong clans, and Empress Wang was the granddaughter of Wang Sizheng, the founder of the Western Wei Dynasty, and belonged to the Guanlong family.

As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji got started, he cut down two important members of the royal family, King Wu and King Jiangxia, the purpose was already obvious, weakening the royal family, and then, naturally, he would usurp the throne, and Yang Jian was on the throne.

Of course, it caused dissatisfaction among other interest groups, and aristocratic politics was the most taboo for one family to dominate and take all the big and small.

Weakening the eldest grandson Wuji group, it started with Queen Wang, Wu Zetian's father is a timber merchant, and his family status and family network are not strong, but Wu Zetian's father is the hero who followed Li Yuan Taiyuan to raise troops, Guan

The system is very delicate.

Let Wu Zetian replace Empress Wang, which should be able to hedge the dissatisfaction of the Guan Long system to the greatest extent, and weaken the eldest grandson Wuji group. The eldest grandson Wuji naturally knew it, so he resolutely disagreed with the abolition of Wang Liwu.

The general aristocracy should sit back and watch the ups and downs, unwilling to see the emergence of a dominant pattern, but also unwilling to participate too deeply in the dispute of the highest power, and if they lose, they often have to be beheaded. There are not many people who support the eldest grandson Wuji, and there are actually few who support Tang Gaozong.

Once Wu Zetian's change of dynasty is successful, the situation at that time will be completely different from the generation of the eldest grandson Wuji and Tang Gaozong, if there is no move, Wu Zetian, as the daughter-in-law of the royal family surnamed Li, will temporarily take charge of the Tang Dynasty for a reason, and the last fig leaf at this time has also been torn off by herself.

As a result, the superficial balance between the big clans was broken, and as long as someone waved the flag, the speculative forces who hoped to take advantage of the fire would gather under the banner one after another.

At that time, Wu Zetian will not only not face internal and external troubles, but it is the general trend to re-establish the surname Li as the crown prince, and her idea of establishing the descendants of the Wu family can only be a joke.

Li Zhi had already guessed that Gaozong had laid a secret hand in those big clans early, waiting for the empress to change the dynasty to light this fire, to put it bluntly, he had seen through the ambition of the empress who had been by his side for decades.

Therefore, Gaozong only arranged for Li Zhi to take care of those people surnamed Li, instead of using him to engage in any vertical and horizontal troubles, because a real political master is familiar with the current situation of the existence of forces and knows how to take advantage of the situation, which is the most basic premise.

Why did Li Zhi dare to intervene in the transportation of Shandong Gate Valve in the Bohai Bay waterway and establish a good foundation for cooperation with Taiping?

The Tang Gate Valve clan is divided into two kinds, one is the old Shandong clan that has been inherited from the Wei and Jin dynasties, represented by Taiyuan Wang, Xingyang Zheng, Fan Yang Lu, Qinghe Cui, Boling Cui, and Zhaojun Li, which is characterized by a long history, deep roots, and family branches all over the world, and has great power and influence in the local and common people.

The other is that the Li family rose up to win the world's dependence, with the Li family in Longxi, the eldest grandson's family, and so on, characterized by the fact that due to the dragon's merit, the royal family trusted, and held the right in the court, but the disadvantage is that the accumulation is insufficient, short-sighted, and the influence in the people and counties is not as good as the old Shandong clan.

The power of the Guanlong Gate Valve is more important, especially the power of the Eight Pillars of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwentai (Li Shimin's great-grandfather), Yuan Xin, Li Hu (Li Yuan's grandfather), Li Bi (Li Mi's great-grandfather), Zhao Gui, Yu Jin, Duguxin (Yang Jian's father-in-law, Li Yuan's grandfather), Hou Mo Chen Chong, they created the glorious history of the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, and Tang dynasties.

This is the foundation of the royal family surnamed Li, the Li family in Longxi, and the eldest grandson family are all based on this.

Therefore, Gaozong gave up his face, was kicked in the face by Empress Wu for many years, and gave her a chance to jump for a while, just for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and not to collapse due to internal strife.

The next reality will tell Empress Wu that the Tang Dynasty still has to return the surname Li, otherwise it will break the centuries-old order of the big clans taking turns to sit in the village, and if they insist on going their own way, not only the Wu family, but also the surname Li will have to change their names and surnames.

At that time, the next generation of descendants surnamed Li had grown up, which was what Li Zhi believed that Gaozong relied on the most.

Therefore, Wu Zetian's power skills are first-class, but the specific origin of the big gap between the comprehensive level and the power skill level, compared with those big clan forces, her personal background is equal to nothing, and in the end, she still has to rely on the surname Li to keep the country.

As far as Li Zhi is concerned, with the existence of Shangguan Wan'er, and a series of secret arrangements for other things, he only needs to grasp the pulse of the inner court's movements, and he can suppress Wu Zetian's actions in a targeted manner.

Taiping is just an intermediary that he uses to maintain the surname Li, so as not to fall apart too much, and will never put it directly under the clutches of the legitimate and powerful Wu clan.

At least with such an invisible demon cultivator as Mei'er by his side, Shangguan Wan'er will basically not be in danger, and Li Zhi can protect as many people in the royal family surnamed Li as possible on the basis of foresight.

In fact, Gaozong's attack on the Wu family some time ago has greatly weakened the strength of the Wu family, but it is a pity that Wu Zetian, who is already ambitious, still thinks that with her power and skills, she can completely control the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and various local vassal forces.

Tonight, just like yesterday and with Taiping, Li Zhi told Shangguan Wan'er all the above content one by one, and he believed that with this woman's ingenuity, the means of using these external forces would be more refined than himself.

After all, Li Zhi belongs to the army on paper, but Shangguan Wan'er grew up in the palace, and far better than Taiping, she understands the origin of the courtiers, the entanglement of interests, and the intertwined structure of connections.

This night is also a significant day since Li Zhi's rebirth, because since tonight, he will use Shangguan Wan'er to officially lay out from the palace.

As Empress Wu stepped on the road of changing the dynasty step by step, what cool officials came to Junchen to make false accusations against the surname Li, the obscenity of Feng Shen Erzhang in the face of the palace, the rebellion of Empress Wei, and the killing of military ministers and good generals must be strangled as soon as possible when the signs appear.

As for Wu Zetian, Li Zhi has many ways to deal with her, if he didn't dare to take on the crime of tampering with history, he could have killed her at this time.

But although this person ranked first in the Wu Wei Rebellion judged by later generations, compared to the latter's inaction, Wu Zetian can be regarded as a good ruler in addition to being insidious, cruel, good at manipulating power, and violating traditional etiquette.

In its crackdown on the gate valve, the cultivation of the Shu people, the development of the imperial examination, the rectification of the rule of officials, the severe punishment of corrupt officials, the promotion of talents, the way of speech, pay attention to the admonition, attach importance to the development of agriculture, lightly punish the meager endowment, rest with the people, etc., it is the positive point that Li Xian and Li Dan brothers do not have, but because of her, the Tang Dynasty lost more than 3 million square kilometers of land.

However, Li Zhi would not let her mess with the inner court like this, and planned to add some warnings to her whenever she felt the most powerful and intimidating the eight directions.

In particular, the first thing this woman did when she officially ascended the throne as emperor was to raise the wind of whistleblowing, kill the ministers of civil and military affairs, imprison her own son, apply cool officials, and be extremely arbitrary.

Originally, taking harsh measures to seize the throne and consolidate the throne was an inevitable means for any emperor, and Wu Zetian's move was understandable.

But under his deliberate instructions, it was the best excuse for the royal family surnamed Li to start a large-scale extermination.

Li Zhi specially instructed Shangguan Wan'er that from this time on, he should collect as many charges as possible against the opposing party surnamed Li, and be sure to be credible, so as to offset or even ban the popularity of whistleblowing that time.

As far as he is concerned, it is necessary to observe it specifically, because everything he knows comes from historical records, and the compilation of ancient history books is in the hands of literati, who have always discriminated against women in power, and it is inevitable to pour a little dirty water.

The most derogatory thing about Wu Zetian in history is that she once had several male favorites, which became her eternal scandal and became a topic of upside down among literati and writers, so that it was drowned out along with her outstanding political achievements.

However, according to Li Zhi's personal understanding, during the reign of Wu Zetian, the country had stable policies, proper military strategies, cultural rejuvenation, and affluent people, so it would have the reputation of being a legacy of Zhenguan in later generations.

She developed the rule of Zhenguan in all aspects, and laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of her grandson Xuanzong in the Kaiyuan Dynasty.
