Chapter 178: There Is a Female Wu Mei (Part II)

During the Tang and Song dynasties, after the death of the emperor, they basically stopped using live burial, but switched to terracotta figurines for burial, which was very humane for most emperors.

Li Shimin in history did just that, perhaps for the sake of a better reputation, he did not ask for anyone to be buried for him after his death, he just asked his concubines to guard the cemetery or forced them to leave home.

Therefore, when Gao Ming said that he dreamed that Li Shimin would become a concubine after his death, Li Shimin was not too surprised, but when he heard Gao Ming say that after Li Zhi ascended the throne, he chose a person from among those women who were monks, he was surprised.

"Could that person be ......?"

Linked to what Gao Ming said before, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly widened.

"It's Wu Mei!"

When he said this, Li Shimin's tone was not a question, but an affirmation!

The reason why Li Shimin is so sure is that once he found that when Li Zhi, a kid, saw Wu Mei, his eyes were wandering on Wu Mei, looking very obsessed.

However, Li Shimin did not blame Li Zhi at that time, because Li Zhi was his son, and Wu Mei was just one of his concubines.

Datang is a semi-feudal and semi-slave society, in Datang, the status of concubines is very low, especially those concubines who even have the deed of sale in the hands of their husbands, their status is not much better than that of slaves.

The Tang Dynasty forbade the killing of cattle, and if anyone slaughtered the cow to eat it privately, it was likely that they would face jail time, but those concubines who signed the deed of sale were beaten to death by their husbands, and her husband only had to pay a few hundred fines to the local government.

The low status of concubines can be seen from this.

To put it mildly, it is that the second wife of the feudal society has no human rights.

The same is true of the royal family, in Li Shimin's eyes, the queen is the wife, and the four concubines are the concubines, as for the twenty-seventh wife and the eighty-one royal wife, they can't even compare with the status of the concubine, at best they are just his toys, play when they are in a good mood, and throw them away when they are in a bad mood.

With such an idea, of course Li Shimin would not blame Li Zhi, he would only feel that it was Wu Mei's behavior that went wrong, causing the young Li Zhi to be seduced, so it was Wu Mei who was wrong and not Li Zhi.

Li Shimin didn't take this matter to heart, if it wasn't for Gao Ming talking about it today, he would never have remembered it.

But now Li Shimin can be sure that if Li Zhi wants to choose someone from his concubines, then this must be Wu Mei, and it can't be wrong!

As the so-called "knowing the son is more than the father", Li Shimin's guess was undoubtedly correct, and after his words fell, Gao Ming immediately gave him a thumbs up.

"You are right, in my dream, the pheasant slave did take Wu Mei back, and Wu Mei relied on her own wisdom and means to sit in the position of the queen step by step, and after she gained the trust of the pheasant slave, she gradually grasped the power of the Tang Dynasty."

When Gao Ming said this, Li Shimin immediately "snapped" on the table.

"She actually dares to mess with my Tang Dynasty?"

Looking at the angry Li Shimin, Gao Ming immediately shrugged his shoulders.

"Congratulations, you guessed it right, after she took power, she gradually set up the pheasant slave, and then raised the butcher's knife, killing those ministers who were unwilling to submit to her to the blood, what I remember the most is Shangguan Yi, this is the worst, except for his granddaughter Shangguan Wan'er, the whole family was killed."

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Shimin suddenly gasped.

"Shhh...... I didn't expect this Shangguanyi to be so loyal, I understand, the reason why you recommended Shangguanyi to me last time to be the secretary of the criminal department is this reason, but I remember that this Shangguanyi doesn't seem to have a granddaughter! ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin suddenly found Gao Ming looking at him helplessly, and he immediately patted his forehead again.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you were talking about dreaming, okay, you go on, what happened?"

Seeing that Li Shimin reacted, Gao Ming spread his hands helplessly.

"Do you need to tell what happened next? Shangguan Yi's whole family was killed, who else in the imperial court dared to jump out? After the death of the pheasant slave, Wu Mei ascended the throne and became the emperor, and changed the name of the country to Zhou, becoming a legitimate female emperor. ”

"Presumptuous!"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Shimin suddenly kicked the case in front of him over, and when he heard the sound inside, even a Qianniuwei warrior guarding the door thought that something was wrong, and hurriedly pushed open the door of the imperial study and ran in.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Li Shimin was in a state of anger and nowhere to go, and after these two people came in, Li Shimin immediately stared at them with eyes that wanted to eat people.

"Who let you in? Get lost! ”

"Yes!"

Looking at Li Shimin's angry look, the two Qianniu Wei warriors hurriedly retreated after agreeing.

After the two of them went out, Gao Ming waved his hand at Li Shimin helplessly.

"Don't get excited, old man, it's just a dream, and I'm not dead yet, am I? I don't die, which round will get the pheasant slave that kid to be the emperor? It was just a dream. ”

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin's emotions eased a little, and after a while, he let out a long sigh.

"Alas, I was too excited, I don't know why, I always felt that what you said was the truth, and with my understanding of Wu Mei, she was indeed the kind of ruthless person, I knew it from the time she first tamed my horse."

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Gao Ming immediately frowned.

"Horse taming?"

Seeing Gao Ming's somewhat puzzled look, Li Shimin nodded suddenly.

"Yes, it's a horse, I have a good horse, called Lion Skull, this horse has a violent temperament, no one can tame it, but at that time Wu Mei said that she could subdue it, but it needed three things, namely an iron whip, an iron hammer and a dagger."

Hearing this, Gao Ming suddenly became even more puzzled.

"Do you need a whip, a hammer and a dagger to train a horse? This is the first time I've heard of anything like this. ”

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Shimin also nodded.

"It's the first time I've heard about this, so I asked her what she wanted to do, and that Wu Mei said that to deal with a horse like a lion, you must first whip it with an iron whip, and if it can't be tamed, then use an iron hammer to hammer, and if it can't be tamed, kill it with a dagger!"

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming couldn't help but gasp.

"Shhh...... This woman looks soft and weak on the outside, but I didn't expect it to be ruthless enough. ”

Looking at Gao Ming's surprised look, Li Shimin sighed again.

"Well, yes, I didn't expect it, so I slowly distanced myself from her, but now it seems that I made the right decision!"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin suddenly took a deep breath, then walked to Gao Ming's side and patted him on the shoulder.

"Gao Ming, I think that this dream of yours is not an ordinary dream, it must be blessed by my ancestors of the Tang Dynasty, so that you will use your dream to tell us the national fortune of my Datang, so that our Li family's country will not be taken away by outsiders, this is the will of God!"

Looking at Li Shimin's excited face, Gao Ming suddenly smiled.

"You are the emperor, since you said that it is the will of heaven, then it is the will of heaven, what are you going to do with that Wu Mei? Kill her? ”

Gao Ming would have nodded Li Shimin in the future, but what he didn't expect was that Li Shimin shook his head with a smile at this time.

"Didn't you just say that? It's just a dream, and since it's just a dream, how can I kill people because of it, and let the world think of me after it gets out? ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin patted Gao Ming's shoulder again.

"Gao Ming, you have the blessing of my Li family ancestors, and you have solved the affairs of Jin Dan, Hou Junji, and Li You, so I believe that you can also solve the matter of Wu Mei!"

Looking at Li Shimin's expression of "I am optimistic about you", Gao Ming was stunned.

"Uh...... What do you mean, old man? How do you want me to fix it? ”

Li Shimin did not answer Gao Ming's words, but shouted outside.

"Someone!"

Hearing his voice, Liu Bing immediately pushed the door and walked in, and then saluted Li Shimin.

"What does Your Majesty command?"

Seeing the respectful Liu Bing, Li Shimin suddenly smiled slightly.

"Spread the word to me, Wu Mei has bad manners, has lost his virtuous character, and now he has been cut off from the position of a talented person, demoted to a commoner, and immediately driven out of the palace!"

"Yes!"

Liu Bing agreed and ran to deliver the decree, and before leaving, he glanced at Gao Ming, there was an indescribable meaning in his eyes, and when he saw Liu Bing's eyes, Gao Ming was dumbfounded.

"What's going on? How did things get like this? ”

Looking at Gao Ming's surprised look, Li Shimin immediately patted him on the shoulder again.

"Okay, Wu Mei has been expelled from the palace by me, how to solve it in the future is your business, I will not interfere, when the time comes, if you want to kill her, or if you want to let her go, it's up to you!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming immediately raised his eyebrows at him.

"And what if I want to sleep with her?"

“……”

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Shimin's face suddenly darkened, he silently raised his hand, then stretched out a finger to point out the door, and then spit out a word towards Gao Ming.

"Get out!"

“……”

Gao Ming has never been used to Li Shimin's problem of letting people roll at every turn, so he immediately got out of the way.

However, Gao Ming didn't know that he had just come out of the courtyard where the imperial study was located, and Li Shimin, who was in the imperial study with his face on his face, suddenly laughed.

"This bastard thing, he really dares to say anything, the ancestor has a spirit, and I don't know what he likes about him."

In the past, Fang Xuanling explained that Gao Ming was bewitched by demons, and Li Shimin also felt that the explanation was a bit far-fetched, but now it is different, Li Shimin feels that he has finally found the real reason, that is, the blessing of the ancestors of the Li family!

"If it weren't for the blessing of his ancestors, how could he know so many things? How could there be such a big change? ”

In Li Shimin's view, Gao Ming at this time was a lucky person who was blessed by the ancestors of the Li family, and after experiencing life and death, he must have realized that he was not keen on the throne.

When Li Shimin made up various explanations in his mind, Liu Bing, who had finished passing on the message, also came back, and after he entered the imperial study, he saluted Li Shimin.

"Back to the Holy Lord, the oracle has arrived, and now the Wu clan has been escorted out of the palace by Qianniuwei."

Hearing Liu Bing's words, Li Shimin immediately nodded with satisfaction.

"That's good, Wu Mei's affairs have been handed over to the crown prince, and you don't have to worry about her affairs in the future, you go out of the palace now and call Shangguanyi to me."

"Yes!"
