The third step, Anne. Through the purpose of "deleveraging" to take charge of the central forbidden army, the army is the lifeblood of the country and the cornerstone of politics. In order to achieve control and domination over the Yulin Army, Wu Zetian appointed the generals Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianqiao as the commanders of the Yulin Army and the left and right respectively, responsible for the security of Luoyang.

The fourth step is to get outside. Strengthen local control through "destocking". Wu Zetian sent his own subordinate generals to the most important military places and key points in the country, and respectively sent Wang Guo, the general of Zuo Weiwei, the general of Linghu Zhitong, the general of Zuo Jinwu, Yang Xuanjian, and the general of Guo Qizong, the general of Qianniu, to the four major governors of Bingzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou, and jointly guarded the peace of the party with the government and the division of the government, and strictly prevented local riots.

The effect of Wu Zetian's four-step walk is visible, and it is no exaggeration to say that it has reached the point of national peace and security.

At the same time, Li Xian is not a vegetarian, he can't watch the power that originally belonged to him be carved up by his mother, and he quickly launched a "three-board axe" counteroffensive.

The first board axe: to make a name. Under his arrangement, he quickly completed the enthronement of Dading - was canonized as the emperor, so that he directly corrected his name and also had the power to listen to the government.

Second Plate Axe: Liwan. He soon changed his name to "heir saint" and granted amnesty to the world, and also wanted to win the support of the people of the world through this gentle way, and wanted to open up a new world with his own hands.

Third Plate Axe: Bright Sword. In order to create his own power group, Li Xian decisively named the crown princess as the queen in line with the principle of not being close to the family, and decisively promoted his father-in-law Wei Xuanzhen from Puzhou to Yuzhou Assassin History, and then promoted him to Shizhong, Tongzhong Shumen Sanpin, and directly entered the Prime Minister's Group. The purpose is very clear, to impact the prime minister's group headed by Pei Yan that Wu Zetian tried his best to build, and regain his own right to speak. Subsequently, he decisively appointed the son of the nursing mother as a five-rank official......

Just when Li Xian showed his sword in shock, Wu Zetian did not stand idly by, she chose to "saber rattling", and it was Pei Yan, the "No. 1 Prime Minister", who played the vanguard for her.

Pei Yan has Wu Zetian as a strong backing, so he naturally has no fear, and immediately expressed his opposition to Li Xian's actions in the form of a book, and the reason can be summed up in four words: cronyism.

In the face of Pei Yan's fiery direct advice, the young and vigorous Li Xian chose Chi. Bare. The naked retorted: "Why can't I use heaven and Wei Xuanzhen?" And cherish the evil in the service! ”

This sentence translated into the vernacular is: I am the master of this world, even if I hand over the whole world to Wei Xuanzhen, this is my own business, let alone a small servant.

Pei Yan did not have a head-on argument with Li Xian, but the secret official arrived at Wu Zetian's palace, and through some intrigues, the two quickly reached an agreement: depose Li Xian and set up a new monarch.

In order to be foolproof, Wu Zetian quickly found another helper for himself - Liu Yizhi.

As the saying goes, there are three gangs of a hero, and with the support of Pei Yan and Liu Yizhi, Wu Zetian's confidence and ambition have greatly increased, and a political storm has been carried out tense and compactly.

Next, Wu Zetian held a huge "pilgrimage" and summoned the Chinese military officials to the Qianyuan Hall.

As a result, before the hundred officials understood what was going on, they saw the palace gate open and swarmed into a group of Yulin troops, led by Pei Yan, the first minister, and Liu Yizhi, the Zhongshu squire, and Cheng Wuting, the left and right commanders of the Yulin army, and Zhang Qianqiao.

There was no suspense in the result, and Yu Linjun "invited" Li Xian down to the palace. Li Xian, who had been in the clouds, seemed to have just come to his senses at this time, how could he be willing to step off the stage of history like this, and let out the last cry: "What is my crime? ”

It was not Pei Yan who answered him, but a more erotic female voice

shouted: "If you want to use the world and Wei Xuanzhen, how can you be innocent!" ”

In this way, a palace coup d'état that took place in the Qianyuan Palace ended hastily with lightning speed.

In this way, Tang Zhongzong, who had been on the throne for less than a month, hurriedly walked off the stage of history with the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

It is precisely because of understanding all this that Li Zhi will have the previous guidance for this, and use the mysterious old way that does not exist, so that Gaozong deliberately increased the use of Li Zhishang's sword for the issue of women in power in the future.

But Li Zhi also knows that this kind of authority has excluded Wu Zetian's status as a queen at this time, that is to say, the issue of women in power specifically refers to any woman who interferes with the imperial power after the Wu family.

This was also already in Li Zhi's plan, because he and Gaozong had already reached a consensus that Wu Zetian's ability to govern the world was irreplaceable for the time being.

As for the issue of sacrificing the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum, in fact, it was also raised by Li Zhi from the side, since entering the Tang Dynasty, the three Tang emperors have been sacrificing from time to time, but they have never said that this is regarded as an important matter to be used.

The Tang Dynasty began to pay attention to this matter, and it was sixty years later during the reign of the Tang Dynasty.

It seems that this move is more related to formalism, and more involved in the suspicion of extravagance and waste, but in fact, in addition to the important significance mentioned by Li Xian, it is also a kind of action that highlights the pure feelings of seeking roots and asking ancestors, not forgetting their hometown, and the descendants of Yan and Huang are connected by blood, with the same roots and ancestors.

The reason is that the royal family surnamed Li in the Tang Dynasty really has the nature of Hu barbarian blood, and the deliberate solemn and publicized act of sacrificing the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum with the momentum of the country is a long-term consciousness cultivation that unites the national unity of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor is set as a national system, which is conducive to the longevity of the centripetal force of the nation, and the imprint of the descendants of Yan and Huang will be deeply engraved in the blood of future generations.

In fact, the important symbol of the descendants of Yan and Huang has since been derived from later generations and is still in the ascendant, that is, after the sacrifice of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum was listed as a national ritual, Li Zhi certainly has a strong personal feeling for it.

Of course, Gaozong would not trust Li Zhi without principle, coincidentally, the wisp of energy in Li Zhi's body, subconsciously had some suspicions left to him by the ancestors of the royal family surnamed Li, but it was roughly similar to the situation that Gaozong dreamed several times.

This seemingly coincidental but seemingly mysterious inevitability seems to have a certain kind of mystery and inevitability, which makes Gaozong's belief in Li Zhi's foolishness conclusive.

What's more, only at the level of a king like him can he have a deeper understanding of the behavior of sacrificing the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum, so he can have a deep understanding of Li Zhi's suggestion.

But in the face of the crown prince Li Xian, Gaozong will never say the role that Li Zhi plays in it, after all, he is the next generation of kings, and Gaozong deliberately pointed out that Li Zhi will not take the initiative to participate in government affairs, which is also to remind Li Xian, and to use this to strip away his suspicions about Li Zhi in the future.

Li Xianzai is not strong in governance, and his IQ under the excellent royal bloodline is very high, and he can't tell his father's allocation to him.

In fact, Li Xian never thought that Li Zhihui would have a heart to be involved in the future government affairs, and Guy was similar to Wu Zetian in his consciousness, and also believed that Li Zhi's character was stupid and loyal.

There is nothing new in this, there will be one or two such foolish and loyal courtiers in all dynasties, such people are a little paranoid after being too loyal to others, but for Gaozong's successor, they are quite reliable and trustworthy.

Whether it is Gaozong or Li Zhi, the intention is to deliberately put this profound imprint on Li Xian, so that it will be more conducive to Li Zhi's future actions.

It is precisely because of the existence of Li Zhi that Gaozong can leave this world so reassuringly.

And Li Zhi brought Gaozong more than a year and a half to extend his lifespan, and he was far away from the kind of illness that had plagued him for decades, so he was regarded by Gaozong as the god-sent guardian of the royal family surnamed Li.

"Prince, I know that I told you about the women's power before, and you will definitely be a little dismissive in your heart, but the future development of the situation will prove everything! But before that, the text will not take the initiative to help you, because his early involvement will only exacerbate the conflict between you and the queen mother, which you understand? ”

Gaozong's words made Li Xian, who was still in a sad mood, suddenly come over, and hurriedly replied in a low voice: "Back to Aya for questioning, I know this very well, and I also know that Mr. Li is afraid that he will be accused of interfering in the government, so he will not act casually, and he knows this very well!" ”

Gaozong nodded: "But one thing to remember, no matter how dangerous the situation is in the future, the text will ensure the safety of you and the future queen, so don't expose him easily unless you have to!" Also, do you know why I took Yue'er? That's to protect her, and it's also to protect her, after all, your sister hasn't experienced harsh politics. Struggle, once your mother threatens the lives of the descendants of Yue'er's family, how likely is it for her to keep secrets for you? ”

Hearing this, Li Xian's previous sadness was instantly replaced by a chill behind him.

As a direct descendant of the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace, he has been accustomed to the extraordinary cruelty of imperial power struggles since he was a child, and his two closest brothers are the most recent vivid examples.

Especially Li Xian, who has the closest relationship with him, has just died in exile not long ago, and with Li Xian's source of dissipation, he can naturally see some shadows of the martial arts.

Their deaths are more or less closely related to their biological mothers, so Li Xian doesn't think that there is the slightest exaggeration in his father's serious tone.

After hearing Li Xian's only words, Gaozong did not intend to lead further, Li Xian will eventually succeed to the throne as a generation of kings, and he must help him understand everything by himself, and without his own personal understanding, he will never be able to really grow up.

Therefore, his words are more to the point than to be exhaustive, otherwise the crisis once or twice will be dealt with with with the help of guidance, and it will not promote his maturity in the slightest.

So he quickly put down his preaching, and the smile on his face showed again: "Text, I heard King Cheng say that you have that topographical map of the Turkic Khanate in your hand, but you haven't been able to send it to me for a long time!" ”

Li Zhi withdrew Zhenyuan behind him and said with a smile: "Back to the emperor, I was stumped by some trivial business matters, and I went to Ezhou City for the opening of the waterway for goods from the Trade City to the south!" ”

With that, he walked around to Gaozong, beckoned to the attendants outside the door, and explained to the two who entered, and found a suitable place to hang the huge topographical map.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gaozong asked about the specific details of the opening of the waterway, and Li Zhi recounted it in detail.

Gaozong was pleased: "Prince, can you hear? How much did the text pay silently for the food problem of Chang'an City without assignment? Does he have any personal gain in this? What is the current progress of the draft decree that I gave you a few days ago? ”

"Back to Aya, it has been issued to the township official level three days ago, and there is a special person to pay attention to this matter, and the implementation will be fed back as soon as possible, and the implementation will be signed by the person who handles it at each level!" Li Xian replied.

Gao Zong smiled: "Well done, as it should be!" Only the upward movement has the effect of the down, and the defeat of the country and the chaos of the people are really caused by their own inaction, and your practical way of doing things is very commendable! ”

Being able to get the emperor's affirmation, and his undisguised smile, made Li Xian extremely excited for a while, and he was also secretly determined to live up to his father's respectful teachings.
