Taiping already had tears in his eyes, "But I'm her own daughter!" ”

Li Zhi said calmly: "So what? She can use all kinds of people regardless of family background, regardless of qualifications, and dare to recruit talents on a large scale because these people will not pose a threat to her imperial power. For anyone who can have an impact in the palace, she can kill them at any time, including her closest family members, this is the foundation of the great statesman himself! ”

"So what should I do? I can't hate her, after all, it's my mother; I love her but I am afraid that I will fall victim to her, and I will lose myself from then on! ”

"Then try to look at her from another angle, because in addition to her being your mother, the prince and the prince are your brothers, and the surname Li is of the same blood as you. For her sake you will lose not only yourself, but also your children and grandchildren, and the initiators will be your brother's descendants, and many more of your bloodline! ”

"Brother, do you want me to oppose her?"

"No, use her other way to help your brother and people, she is your mother and you can't hurt either, but try to minimize her harm to others!"

"Where is it so simple, the premise that I can influence the source is, first of all, to help her do things and conclude a political marriage for her!"

Li Zhi gradually smiled on his face, hugged her and said softly, "Don't you still have me?" How can I watch you in a dilemma? ”

"Then you solve my requirements for you first, I want your children, at least two!" Li Zhi admired Taiping very much, and he could still think of these things in such a mood.

But the task that made him embarrassed and thought it was almost impossible to complete before was unexpectedly ushered in a turning point after Gaozong's words.

"Even if I promise you, I can't do it now, I can only start thinking about it when my mother makes a move and rescues you from the Xue family!" Li Zhi groaned.

The excitement on Taiping's face didn't last for a moment, and then it changed: "The Xue family can't say that they are good to me, they are just taboos about my identity." Although I am extremely dissatisfied with the horse, I am still the father of the child in the end, and without the mother's vicious heart, I can't bear to let the Xue family suffer because of me! ”

"Don't worry, the Empress Wu is their in-laws, and there are Manchu civil and military people watching it, so they can't be unscrupulous. But she wants to be the empress, and the Xue family is a faction of the forces surnamed Li, and then the Tang Dynasty surnamed Li's vassal will be in chaos, and the Empress Wu will only use this opportunity to make a move, Xue Shao may be fine, but there will be an excuse to dissolve the marriage contract! ”

"No, the Xue family still has my aunt's descendants and grandchildren, I have to find a way to stop it, otherwise I can't get over it with my conscience!"

"Ling Yue, you are too naïve, since you know this, why is the emperor willing to endure humiliation and leave such a disaster? Just because the prince and your imperial brother do not have the ability to control the imperial power, in such a green and yellow situation, only your mother can ensure that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty will not fall, and the future suppression of the forces surnamed Li will be miserable, knowing this, why doesn't the emperor stop it? He can stop it, but the Tang Dynasty will not be strong from now on, the surrounding strong enemies are watching, and the war is constantly fighting on three sides, and one negligence may be attacked to the mainland. The country is ruined, or civil strife and strife, the emperor can only choose the lighter, the victim is the surname Li, but it is the Tang Sheji and the people of Li who benefit! ”

Taiping quieted down suddenly, and the political concepts that Li Zhi had instilled in him in the past two days had already refined all her previous cognitions.

Especially what she said, she seemed to feel that Gaozong's injustice was almost dripping blood, helplessly looking at a crazy woman who had a crazy desire to occupy the imperial power, and a little bit of eating away at the country surnamed Li left by the ancestors and ancestors, that kind of taste was far more painful than the hidden sorrow of the Xue family.

Yesterday, Li Zhi bluntly told him that with his ability, he would take down his mother, and even kill him on the spot, and no one in the entire Tang Dynasty could beat him.

And in this way, he does not need such painstaking arrangements of all parties to try to protect the damage to a minimum.

But if he does that, it is contrary to the emperor's painstaking solitude.

The emperor's move is tantamount to handing over the butcher's knife that killed his own people to the executioner, what is the plan? Isn't it just to take advantage of this to keep up and wait for the successor of the imperial power surnamed Li to grow up?

Li Zhi made her understand the deeper meaning, although it was accompanied by ruthless killing and strong crushing, what was the uneasiness of her conscience for a small Xue family compared to her father's feelings?

Thinking of this, Taiping put his head into Li Zhi's arms and sighed deeply: "As the daughter of the imperial family, I have three points of responsibility on my shoulders, and I don't think I can bear it!" Brother Zhengwen, why don't you take me away, stay away from this mundane world that is troubled by the world, and I want to give you a few children, and no one cares! ”

Li Zhi cupped her face and stared:

"You said it yourself, as the daughter of the emperor's family, you have to bear the responsibility you deserve. Being born into such a family means that you have the responsibility of maintaining the imperial power in your veins, and then you have children for him, and they grow up to be guardians, and then you can watch them carry your burden on your shoulders. ”

"There are so many people surnamed Li, and there is still one missing?"

"Do you remember the emperor's request to me at noon?"

"Well, he's going to let you give me a good home!"

"The intact destination does not refer to the cultivation realm where I will be in the future, that world is even more cruel, it is a simple killing world, and that is the only way for the strong to pass through. The emperor wants a good home, saying that he wants me to maintain you in this world and no longer be subject to the imperial power of my own clan, do you understand what I mean? ”

Taiping nodded, "You and the emperor want me to stay here and help the surname Li rise again, so that in the future of the Tang Dynasty, I will have my own supreme position, but not the throne!" ”

"The supremacy is a bit exaggerated, only the emperor has such a title. However, as an aunt who is loved by the emperor all her life, her status is not necessarily much lower than that of the queen mother, and with me, there is no big problem for you to live to be one hundred and fifty years old. Li Zhi said with a smile.

"What's the point of me living to be one hundred and fifty years old without you? Now that I'm with you, other men have no interest in my eyes! Taiping gave him a blank look.

"That's not necessarily, I didn't say that once I leave, I won't have a chance to come back, at least before I ascend to the immortal realm, I can always find a way!"

Li Zhi's words immediately made Taiping excited: "So, in more than twenty years, will you have the opportunity to come to me when you leave?" ”

"Well," Li Zhi's fingers scratched her nose, "maybe our children will appear again before they grow up, and I will be a half-immortal at that time, walk around this world and see who dares to provoke you and the children!" ”

Taiping puffed out, "Then you promised to give me the child?" Words count! ”

Li Zhizheng replied: "I don't have the final say on the child, I can give it, isn't there a question of whether you accept it or not?" ”

Taiping smiled and dodged his hand in the quilt, barely suppressed the heat in his heart, and said:

"You haven't told me what to do in the future! If you follow your first verification event, is it that after the prince ascended the throne, he promoted Empress Wei's father Wei Xuanzhen exceptionally? Why is my mother so jealous? ”

Because Wei Xuanzhen's surname is Wei, the Wei family began to rise as early as the Western Han Dynasty, and after so many years, it has already become a climate. Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, this family has been playing an important role in the country's political and social life, and after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it has also been valued by the Tang royal family. ”

The Wei family in the Tang Dynasty was densely populated and divided, among which there were at least more than ten major veins, and Concubine Wei, who had not yet become the queen at this time, was born in a vein of the Wei family.

Wei Zhiyuan, who is currently serving as the prime minister, is also a member of the Wei family, and there are more than ten other people who have been promoted to the fourth rank or above, and have formed a close political alliance with the royal family through marriage.

How could Empress Wu see another Webster rising for no reason? And that person is Li Xian's father-in-law.

And Li Xian's mind, she, as a mother, knows best, once she succeeds to the throne, she can't wait to start vigorously promoting her cousin Webster, and Wei Xuanzhen's exceptional promotion happened on the same day after he canonized Webster.

Moreover, Li Xian's unscrupulousness really annoyed the Empress Wu, you know, what does it mean to be promoted from Puzhou to Yuzhou Assassin? That was all of a sudden, from a small official of the ninth grade to a stab from the third grade.

What's worse is that just a few days after Wei Xuanzhen was promoted to assassin history, Li Xian was busy transferring Wei Xuanzhen to the court as a waiter.

That is the provincial governor of Menxia, whose status is equivalent to that of the prime minister, and I have to say that Li Xian's personnel transfer is indeed too hasty.

Empress Wu, who was already deeply jealous of the Wei family, Li Xian acted so blatantly and recklessly, which didn't just give her an excuse to depose.

、

As a result, the poor and hateful Li Xian, who was deposed by his mother less than two months after his first ascension to the throne, was exiled to Fangzhou, and then sent to Junzhou, and then moved back to Fangzhou, which can be described as a displacement.

But Wu Zetian's inner worries were not unreasonable, ten years later, Li Xian ascended the throne again, and Empress Wei's dictatorship and chaos began, extravagantly, interfering in court politics, and premeditating to seize power, until the coup was executed.

Of course, Li Zhi can't talk about peace in the future, but can only achieve it step by step in the future.

Taiping said thoughtfully: "Don't you say it, I really haven't noticed the Wei family, at this time, it seems that there are really many people in the court with this surname!" ”

Li Zhi smiled: "These are not for you to worry about, your first task is to strengthen the closeness with the imperial brother Li Dan, in a few months, his third son will be born, you find a way to establish some kind of close relationship with that unborn child!" ”

After two days of contact, Taiping had already recognized Li Zhi's magic, and when he heard this, he immediately realized something: "Brother, do you mean that the third son of the imperial brother is of great significance?" ”

Li Zhi nodded, and didn't put on any pretense of mystery and inscrutableness, "There are some things that I can't give you a reasonable explanation for now, you don't have to worry about this matter, wait for the first thing to be verified, and then you can find a way to get closer!" ”

Taiping smiled, "I have always had a close relationship with the imperial brother, so I don't need to make any excuses. And I don't have to verify your words, I just do what I want me to do! ”

"You're not afraid that if I make a mistake in judgment and waste some scheming?"

"Now the ghost believes that it is inferred, and you have even paid attention to an unborn child, but don't tell me, it is your other perception!"

In fact, she knew in her heart that the crown prince Li Xian was ousted from power within a few days of becoming emperor, and the imperial brother Li Dan would succeed to the throne, and it would be quite difficult to get close to him at that time.

And no matter what he himself thought, the queen mother, who had been eyeing him all the time, would be happy to let her come closer.

Only before Li Dan ascended the throne did he build a good foundation, that is, he would still move around frequently in the future, and he could hide his mother's attention, after all, before that, she was a frequent visitor to Xingqing Palace.

Thinking of this, Taiping said solemnly: "Brother, I agreed to your proposal yesterday, and recently I persuaded my aunt to go back to Chang'an City for a while, Zhongnan Mountain Cuiwei Temple is not only a place for my mother-in-law to recite the Tao, but also an excellent summer resort, this reason is not abrupt at all!" ”
