The room was unusually quiet, and the warm sunset outside the window was filtered by the window lattice, blending into an ambiguous atmosphere.

The hair under the silk brocade quilt turned, and he fell to the thick chest exposed at the corner of the quilt.

Li Zhi's face was full of meaning, and he stretched out his hand to smooth the quilt that came over, he didn't feel anything about the coolness of early spring, but the peace in his arms was a little unbearable.

"Do you know, because King Green's matter has somewhat implicated the Wu family, the queen mother is angry again, you have to be careful, the Wu family is deeply distressed by you."

In the soft voice from Taiping, there was still a trace of hoarseness, and it was still clearly overflowing with the forgetfulness of indulgence.

Li Zhi laughed, and after pinching one hand under the quilt, he said:

"Remember what I told you several times about the hidden dangers of the martial arts? Empress Wu is a genius who wields power, there is no doubt about this, there is no problem for such a person to govern the world, my purpose of bringing the Li family under the protection of Chang'an City, have you ever seriously thought about it? ”

"I don't dare to think about it, including you, for fear that I can keep secrets when I wake up, and I will have dreams at night after I sleep, but there is a danger of leaking secrets! However, there is no doubt that your last in-depth analysis with me has made the analysis of the situation in the future inclined to you, because I am also surnamed Li. ”

"Women are in power, especially under the foundation of the Tang Dynasty surnamed Li who has surpassed one Jiazi, if you want to completely control the situation, it is impossible to be strong in twenty or thirty years, but the age of the martial arts queen is there, and the most important thing is that there is no successor to her martial arts family!"

"The Li family is not the same?"

"So the emperor did not interfere excessively in the temporary administration of Empress Wu, and there have been several sudden outbreaks in recent times, which one is not aimed at suppressing the Wu family? The sharpening of the contradictions between the two families of Wu and Li is actually the inevitable trend of the future situation, and it will be an inevitable measure for the Empress Wu to link the two families through a series of marriages in order to eliminate the political struggle in the future, including you. ”

Taiping shrugged up, unaware that he had exposed the whiteness of his chest, "Brother Zhengwen, how can you have such thoughts?" Could it be that the Xue family ......"

"The more Ling Yue comes into contact with you and me in the future, the more I will know that I am far more than just superficial ability, just like the last time I was killed in the suburbs of Luoyang, do you think it is really me who is secretly guarding me?"

"I've thought of the reason for all the suspicions in Luoyang City, and it's really your personal ability?"

"Not only that, but I have a lot of people around me who have abilities that are beyond cognition, but that's not the point. Why do you think the emperor is so loyal to me? Is he not afraid that I will change the privilege I have promised him by the slightest dissent in the future? ”

In Taiping's nervous eyes, Li Zhi once again brought out the set of rhetoric that fooled Pei Yan, his prophetic preconception, he could only use this method to assist in acting, otherwise it would be difficult to get the effect of persuasion.

Of course, there will be a lot of changes in the rhetoric, but the only constant is the way of borrowing, and the old way that does not exist.

And the emperor's future death is the best evidence for this method, and Li Zhi was reused without warning, which is a mystery in everyone's minds.

Taiping fell into a state of delirium for a long time, and Li Zhi helped her put on the quilt again, and she didn't know what to do in her arms.

After a long time, she said: "My instinct tells me to trust you unconditionally, but as you said, there are so many things beyond cognition that it seems to take a while to digest and understand. ”

Li Zhi chuckled: "It's okay, you can continue to believe me, because the subsequent things will be implemented in front of you one by one." But during this period, no matter how the political situation evolves, I will not participate in it, Chang'an City is still my only responsibility for the protection of the surname Li, even if there is a river of blood in the palace, Ji is not my purview, and I have no intention of interfering. But there's only one thing, you have to listen to me, I don't want you to get caught up in an internal strife and have no way to extricate yourself! ”

Princess Taiping in history likes power, and it is more imperceptible from her mother Wu Zetian.

、

Wu Zetian thinks that she looks and has a personality like himself, and often discusses political affairs with her, but this person never let Princess Taiping leak her participation in political affairs before her death.

Princess Taiping was afraid of her mother, so she acted more restrained, and for a long time she only knew how to renovate her mansion and buy other businesses.

At this moment, all this has just begun, because the appearance of Li Zhi has made Taiping's life trajectory change dramatically, and her subsequent corrupt behaviors have also become today's business operations.

What Li Zhi urgently needs to do at present is to gradually transform the influence of power she has suffered into a secret help to protect the royal family surnamed Li, and let her slowly realize that the harm of participating in political affairs is far greater than the psychological satisfaction of power.

In fact, the same is true of the Taiping princess in history, although she is the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, she has always been a supporter of the Li family politically.

Taiping could understand the sincere love in Li Zhi's words at this moment, and his eyes softened suddenly, "In fact, if you don't know how to participate in government affairs, it already shows that your heart is open, so the emperor's trust in you is worth it, and I also firmly believe in your love for me!" ”

Li Zhi let Taiping play with his own hands, "But what I'm worried about is that as Empress Wu attaches more and more importance to you, she will gradually include you in her future planning, and let you grasp some of the power step by step, so that you will fall deeper and deeper unconsciously, but you can't extricate yourself!" ”

"I'm her own daughter, she won't hurt me, right?"

However, after Li Zhi snorted coldly, Taiping also remembered the fate of the previous two princes, and couldn't help but shudder.

"But you are an exception, not only because she loves you so much, but also because she does not think anything wrong with her actions, and she insists that it is only the means by which a king ought to consolidate his imperial power!"

"You are so determined that the Queen Mother will... Yes... Usurper? ”

"Ling Yue, it's still the same sentence, I can't prove the truth of what I said now, I can only leave it to be verified one by one after it happens. In this way, I will only tell you two things for the time being, one is that at the beginning of the next year after the death of the emperor, the crown prince succeeded to the throne, and planned to appoint Wei Xuanzhen, the father of Empress Wei, as a servant. ”

Taiping's complexion turned gray in an instant, and he was stunned like thunder and lightning, and his spirit was in a state of half-dementia.

Li Zhi continued his horrific rhetoric: "After that, the Empress Wu will issue a letter to accept the ministers at any time, open the door to whistleblowers, and use a large number of cool officials, who use all kinds of torture and interrogation, and only one of them can get out of prison alive." In this way, with the rise of the trend of whistleblowing, the number of people who were tortured to death by the cruel officials increased day by day. As a result, a very terrifying political atmosphere was formed inside and outside the court, so that every time the ministers went to court, they had to say goodbye to their families, and they were in fear all day long. ”

He paused for a moment, and glanced at Taiping meaningfully, "The killing of the Tang clan also began from this time, and the first to bear the brunt was to kill the twelve members of the clan including Li Ying, the king of Annan, and to whip the two sons of the late crown prince Li Xian, among which the young survivors were also exiled to Lingnan. But this is not the point, the key is that she plotted to seize Li Tang's Sheji and the purpose of eliminating the Tang Dynasty clan was to announce five years later that the Tang Dynasty would be changed to Zhou, establish herself as the emperor, make Luoyang the capital, call the god capital, and establish the Wu Zhou Dynasty. ”

Taiping was completely stunned at this moment, as if he had lost his voice, his eyes were numb, and he stared at Li Zhi's face, revealing a look that he couldn't grasp the essentials.

Her face was pale, and she sat there motionless, not feeling a cold sweat flowing down her spine.

The origin of this reaction is the revelation of Li Zhi's cold expression at the moment, and the prediction of a series of bad news like thunder on a sunny day.

After a short period of coldness, Li Zhi quickly noticed the abnormality of Taiping, and hurriedly hugged her tightly in his arms, pulled the quilt with his hand, and wiped the sweat stains on her back.

The next moment, Taiping was already trembling, and it was only at this time that she suddenly came over, the reason why Li Zhi and his father would be merciless to the martial arts family was that they had already decided that the martial queen would not only usurp the imperial power, but also have more vicious plans to change the dynasty.

Li Zhi wrapped her in the quilt again, and whispered in her ear: "Of course, you can disbelieve all this, after the first thing happens next year, it will be too late for you to believe me!" Originally, I didn't plan to reveal it to you so early, but I was really worried that Empress Wu would completely transform you into the next empress with such vicious means! ”

Taiping trembled again, unconsciously tears had flowed down, she was extremely reluctant to agree with Li Zhi's expectation at the moment, but the intuition she said before was still stubbornly reminding herself that everything Li Zhi said was true.

But this intuition, like Li Zhi's prophecy, is an ethereal hallucination, which makes Taiping fall into excessive tension at this time, making his neck stiff, his eyes straight, and only the tip of his nose can be seen.

In her mind, there was a constant flash of Empress Wu's appearance in a yellow robe, sitting tall, and below were countless ministers kneeling and trembling in unison.

Plotting to seize Li Tang Sheji was something she could have thought of before, but changing the Tang Dynasty to the Wu Zhou Dynasty was an even more rebellious act, and she would never have thought that her mother would fall into such madness.

Because of the extreme horror in her heart, she cried unconsciously, and with Li Zhi's warm comfort, the grievances under the extreme fear followed, and they turned into tears like surging rivers, and they could no longer be suppressed.

Li Zhizu comforted her for more than half an hour before she finally stopped the abnormality, although her heart was still like falling into ice water, and her brain was like a bucket of paste.

However, Li Zhi also whispered in his ear that no matter what, Wu Zetian's ability to govern the world is real, and the reason why Gaozong did not realize the future crisis and did not strangle this huge threat in the cradle shows his broad wisdom.

Through the short-term pain of more than ten or twenty years, it can ensure that Datang has continued its strength and development, and it is much better to use this period to let the descendants of the surname Li really grow up, which is far better than the decline of the country.

After some interpretation, Taiping gradually came to his senses, and he had already had a conversation with Li Zhi, although there was still a three-point sob: "You mean, the reason why the emperor didn't stop it in time is for Li Tang's future?" ”

Li Zhi's kiss touched the corner of her eyes with a moist touch: "This is also the main reason why I promised to assist the forces surnamed Li in the future, you know that my ambition is not in the mortal world, I could have hid far away, but when my strength is reached, I can leave here and go to the cultivation realm!" But the emperor's loyalty to the surname Li touched me, you must know that the consequences of his doing this will be shameless to face the underground emperors and ancestors, for him, this is a shame! ”

Taiping's cry started again, but this time it was for her father, who saw that his life was short, but he was willing to bear the blame of his ancestors, and vowed to make the royal family surnamed Li prosperous for a long time.

"Now I believe that you will not interfere in government affairs, it turns out that the succession of the queen mother's talents can ensure that the foundation of the Tang Dynasty will not fall prematurely, and the emperor has not taken strangulation measures because of this." She said.
