Twenty years later, after more than 7,000 days and nights of suffering, this day finally came. When Empress Wei sat beside Li Xian and accepted the worship of the Hundred Palaces as the queen for www.biquge.info the second time, she wondered if she was still in a dream.

Indeed, she had dreamed of this countless times.

On this day, her deceased parents were posthumously presented as the prince of Shangluo County and the princess of the county respectively. Although Jia Xu, the widow of Zuo, has been persuaded to say: "Those with different surnames are not kings".

But this time, Li Xian no longer had to be afraid of the Empress Dowager Wu Zetian, he still decided decisively.

In the life of being confined for a long time, thanks to Empress Wei's unwavering abandonment, sharing weal and woe, and the special dependence on Empress Wei, Li Xian regarded Empress Wei as a life-saving god. Now that he is back on the dragon chair of the Son of Heaven, how can he not exert the authority of the Son of Heaven and make a promise to his wife?

Perhaps after too long of hard life, Empress Wei's desire for power is no longer what ordinary people can imagine.

Empress Wei hated Wu Zetian to the core, but she still admired her mother-in-law's means and political skills very much, Wu Zetian's scenery and prominence after taking power as the empress always disturbed her, and she was also secretly determined to achieve her goal no matter what means she used: "What Wu Zetian can do, why can't I do it?"

Empress Wei believed that she had enough ability to manipulate Li Xian, a coward, and that she also had enough intelligence to deal with people and things inside and outside the court.

After so many years of hard work, the daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law, and she has to be majestic to say anything, not to mention that Queen Wei has always been ambitious and wants to be Wu Zetian's second?

She first learned Wu Zetian's appearance, Li Xian sat in the court, and she sat in the tent behind the emperor's throne and listened to the government.

Li Xian is cowardly, has always relied on and revered her, and of course will not refuse her request.

Then, Empress Wei was going to attack Zhang Cambodia and others, who supported Li Xian's restoration.

For this reason, she found her own ally, and this person is Wu Sansi.

Empress Wei tried her best to blow the pillow wind to Li Xian: "Zhang Cambodia and the others have made meritorious contributions to themselves, and they don't take Your Majesty seriously, if everything is decided by them, won't Your Majesty become a puppet emperor?"

Li Xian felt that this was very reasonable, as the Son of Heaven, how could he be controlled by the courtiers in everything?

Empress Wei said again: "Your Majesty should find a few confidants, Wu Sansi is our in-law, loyal and reliable, why can't Your Majesty use him to divide the power of Zhang Cambodia?"

The next day, Li Xian issued an edict to worship Wu Sansi as the commonplace, and with the three products of the Zhongshu Sect, he became a veritable prime minister.

Zhang Cambodia asked to see Li Xian and persuaded Li Xian not to raise tigers, and should always think of the hard-won restoration of the throne.

Zhang Cambodia's advice not only did not move Li Xian, but made Li Xian angry. He thought that Zhang Cambodia thought that he had made meritorious contributions and wanted him to remember their benefits. In fact, it was impossible for Li Xian to follow Zhang Cambodia's advice and go against Empress Wei's wishes.

It didn't take long for Wu Sansi to instruct his henchmen to admonish him, accusing Zhang Khan and the other five of them of wanting to depose Li Xian and set up a new monarch.

Li Xian was furious and ordered the five men to be put in prison to be executed.

Some ministers admonished: These five people had meritorious service in supporting the emperor in the first place, and the emperor once gave them iron coupons to avoid death, and they should not be executed.

Li Xian had no choice but to respect this opinion and commute the sentence to life exile.

However, before these five people reached their destination, they were killed by Wu Sansi's appointees.

The design got rid of Zhang Cambodia, and Queen Wei extended her black hand to the crown prince Li Chongjun.

Among Li Xian's four sons, the eldest son Li Chongrun is dead, the second son Li Chongfu was convicted and exiled to Junzhou, and the youngest son Li Chongmao is only six years old. After the third son Li Chongjun was made the crown prince, he inevitably became a thorn and stumbling block in the side of Empress Wei.

Where was the young Li Chongjun, who was Empress Wei's opponent, he was forced to make a hasty coup d'état, and was killed after the defeat.

In addition to Li Chongjun, Empress Wei has one less obstacle, but it is a pity that her ally Wu Sansi died in the coup.

At the request of Empress Wei, Li Xian sealed the Empress Wei family. Posthumously presented the dead Wei Xuanzhen as the king of the state, and the tomb built was called "Baode Mausoleum", and the four younger brothers who were posthumously exiled to Lingnan and killed by the local barbarian chieftain were the county kings. Empress Wei's eldest brother-in-law Lu Songsheng was promoted to the son of the country, the second brother-in-law Feng Taihe was promoted to Taichang Shaoqing, the cousin Wei Wen was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the Duke of Lu Guogong, Wei Xu was the general of Zuo Yulin and the Duke of Cao Guogong, and the two sons of Empress Wei were recruited as concubines, and the power of Empress Wei's family swelled rapidly.

Originally, everything was running according to Empress Wei's vision, but now there were suddenly twists and turns, and the person who caused the twists and turns was her sister-in-law, Li Xian's sister Princess Taiping.

"This slut!" Empress Wei scolded hatefully and suddenly shouted. "Someone!"

Qiao Lian appeared in front of Empress Wei with low eyebrows: "Queen Mother, what do you command?" ”

"Hurry up and send someone to invite the elder of the Sect Pavilion to come, and say that there is something important to discuss in this palace!"

"Yes! Queen Mother! ”

Qiu Lian was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Queen Wei, and after a long time, she waved her hand in annoyance: "Forget it, you don't need to invite, you go down first!" ”

Qiao Lian had long been accustomed to Empress Wei's order to change every day, and she didn't ask why, she just obediently agreed and quietly retreated.

"If it's still there, that's good!" Empress Wei muttered to herself.

Yes, Empress Wei has always believed that she cannot achieve a decisive victory in the contest with Princess Taiping, on the one hand, because Princess Taiping has a lot of scheming and deep roots. And the more important reason is that Princess Taiping is surrounded by talents, but there are no people around her who can really give advice.

Because of his loyalty, Empress Wei made him the first assistant. It is good to be loyal, but Zong Chuke's vision is too short-sighted, and compared to Wu Sansi's foresight, it is really useless.

Empress Wei originally wanted to discuss countermeasures with him, but Zong Chuke's ability was limited, and as the first and auxiliary prime minister, she couldn't even handle the other prime ministers in the political hall, so how could she relieve her worries?

The current situation is indeed a bit weird, first Lang Qi risked his life to write a letter, saying that Empress Wei colluded with Zong Chuke and attempted to rebel. Later, Yan Qinrong played, saying that the queen *** interfered in national affairs, Princess Anle and Zong Chuke and others colluded with each other, and they were traitors, endangering the society and the country.

These people are all small people, but they can reach the heavens, if they say that there is no shadow of Princess Taiping behind them, who will believe it?

Although Lang Qi and Yan Qinrong have been eliminated one after another, Princess Taiping's plan has succeeded.

Li Xian was sullen about becoming Empress Wei's puppet, he was depressed, and he lost his former closeness to Empress Wei, often avoiding her intentionally or unintentionally.

A few days ago, Empress Wei asked Li Xian to make Li Bao'er the empress dowager, but Li Xian categorically refused. (To be continued.) )
