Early morning on the second day......

Above the main hall of the Zichen Hall of the Imperial Palace in Luoyang, the capital of the gods.

A middle-aged woman dressed in a dragon robe, wearing a crown, dark hair, and fair skin, sat on the dragon chair directly above the main hall. Although the woman was smiling, the corners of her mouth were slightly grinning, but it was shocking, and there was a sense of awe from the bottom of people's hearts.

This person is the head of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a generation of empress Wu Zetian!

Under Wu Zetian, all the courtiers lined up on both sides with serious faces. On the left, headed by Wu Sansi, behind him are Wu Chengsi and other officials who stand in the camp of the martial arts; On the right, Di Renjie is the leader, and behind him are Zhang Cambodia and other ministers loyal to the Li family who support the descendants of the Li family to inherit the world.

Wu Zetian looked at the two camps with a smile, smiled slightly, and was silent. In fact, Wu Zetian, who was able to usurp the Li family in just over ten years, couldn't see these people's little Jiujiu. It's just that for the prosperity of the country and the stability of the court, the imperial balancing power technique used is not a chance to break the balance and break this balance.

"Go to court!" Beside Wu Zetian, the deacon and eunuch shouted.

All the courtiers hurriedly knelt down and bowed their heads, shouting in unison, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Wu Zetian smiled slightly, raised his hand slightly, and the deacon and eunuch next to him hurriedly stepped forward and helped Wu Zetian up from the dragon chair.

Wu Zetian slowly came to the courtiers and said softly, "Let's all be flat!" ”

"Emperor Xie!" The courtiers got up and spoke, and then slowly got up.

Wu Zetian looked at the courtiers with a smile and said softly, "Some time ago, my body was very uncomfortable, but fortunately, Shen Kuo, the national hand divine doctor, treated me with his heart, coupled with Liang Wang Wu Sansi, summoned the masters of the tea industry, carefully selected materials, and developed the soothing divine tea, assisted by the side, so that I could recover my body during this period of time and come from the court." ”

"Think twice, my aunt remembers you." Wu Zetian slowly walked in front of Wu Sansi, patted his arm gently, and said with a smile.

Liang Wang Wu thought twice about this, hurriedly bowed down, and said, "The emperor is blessed with all the heavens, how can those little illnesses be able to knock it down?" The subordinates and nephews are just obedient to the mandate of heaven, accept the will of the people, and do their best. The nephew believes that even if there is no nephew, the emperor's illness will be completely recovered within a few days. ”

Wu Zetian smiled and said nothing, and after raising his hand to help Liang Wang Wu Sansi up, he turned to look at Di Renjie.

"The elder Di Huaiying, the tiger is lying in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, the power is in charge of the government, during the period of my illness, he worked hard to govern the government, and took care of the court in an orderly manner. Thank you for this. Wu Zetian stared straight into Di Renjie's eyes and said.

Di Renjie nodded slightly, bowed slightly, folded his hands, and responded, "The minister is a minister of the court, and he should be responsible for the government of my emperor, and all this is the duty of the courtier." ”

Wu Zetian nodded, turned around and sat down on the dragon chair with the support of the deacon and eunuch. Then he looked at the courtiers.

"What the elder said is right, as a courtier, he should do his duty for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is the duty of a courtier. Wu Zetian's voice suddenly became a lot thicker.

"Wait for you to understand!" All the courtiers hurriedly bowed down and responded in unison.

"Alright, let's all get up." Wu Zetian raised his hand and motioned for everyone to be flat.

"I summoned Elder Di Guo, Lord Zhang of Luan Feng Pavilion, and Wu Sansi last night." Wu Zetian took the tea handed over by the deacon eunuch next to him with one hand, took a sip, said softly, and then turned around and handed the teacup back to the deacon eunuch.

When all the courtiers heard this, they all raised their heads slightly, and looked at Wu Zetian with puzzled faces.

"On that day, Lord Zhang Khan proposed to me that the foundation of the country is the well-being of the people! The foundation of the court is that there are successors. As Wu Zetian spoke, he looked sideways at everyone.

Wu Zetian's words, like an atomic bomb, suddenly exploded in the hearts of the courtiers.

In today's court, the matter of who is the crown prince is a taboo, and no one wants to mention it.

The establishment of the descendants of the martial arts family as the crown prince is equivalent to telling the people of the entire country that Li Tang Jiangshan was completely plundered by the martial family. Those who have ulterior motives for the imperial court will take advantage of the opportunity to rise up, and war and chaos may break out at any time.

But if the descendants of the Li family are appointed as the crown princes, how can the descendants of the martial arts family be willing? Whether the descendants of the Li family, who have appointed the crown prince, can live to inherit the throne one day will also be a big question!

I saw all the courtiers, except for Di Renjie, Zhang Cambodia, and Liang Wangwu Sansi, all of them had serious faces.

Wu Zetian looked at the courtiers with a sideways face and said softly, "What Pavilion Elder Zhang said, I thought about it carefully last night, and I think it makes a lot of sense. Huaiying, what do you think? ”

As Wu Zetian spoke, he looked at Di Renjie.

Hearing this, Di Renjie stepped forward slowly, bowed slightly, and said, "Lord Zhang said that the inheritance of the imperial throne since ancient times is related to the continuation of the country, and it is the most important thing for the royal family. Therefore, it is beneficial for the emperor to establish a prince in his healthy years, hold a ring ruler, and train the monarch of future generations well, for the country and the people, but the candidate for the crown prince must be carefully considered. ”

As Di Renjie spoke, his eyes flashed with a Taoist essence.

Wu Zetian was suddenly in his heart for a while, what happened last night is still vivid, when the harem was deliberating, Di Renjie did not say anything to Zhang Cambodia's proposal to let Li Dan, the king of Yu, enter the crown prince. The purpose of her talking to the courtiers today is to let Li Li Tang's descendants be the prince, and this matter can be said from Di Renjie's mouth.

First, by doing so, the emperor himself can push the boat down the river, set up Li Tang's descendants as the prince, and can collect the hearts of a group of ministers who are devoted to Li Tang. She is confident that during the period of establishing Li Tang's descendants as the prince, she will recover their hearts and use them for her own use.

Second, if he hands over the country to the descendants of the Wu clan in the future, he must depose the prince of Li Tang, at least above the court, there will not be much resistance.

Wu Zetian's eyes narrowed slightly, stared at Di Renjie, and said, "Huaiying, tell me, what do you think about this?" ”

Di Renjie was based on contemplation, and after a few minutes, he bowed slightly to Wu Zetian again, slowly spoke, and said, "Your Majesty, who to appoint as the prince is a matter of the continuation of the country, you were the emperor who led the world at the beginning, and ascended the throne in the name of the Empress Dowager of the Li family, so the minister feels that it is appropriate to appoint the descendants of the Li family as the prince." ”

Di Renjie's words, backtest the entire court! The courtiers behind him and behind Wu Sansi were all silent, looking at each other sideways, not daring to make the slightest movement. For fear that if I am not careful, I will be angered by the Holy Will, and my head will not be protected!

Wu Zetian's hands floated lightly on the armrests of the dragon chair, and a pair of eagle-like eyes stared at Di Renjie!
