Chapter 156: The Emperor's Will

Zichen Palace, Li Zhi just picked up the book and put it down, since Zhu Mingyang left Chang'an, Li Zhi always felt empty in his heart, especially every time he saw the old ministers of Changsun Wuji, Li Zhi would feel a little helpless. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Zhu Mingyang was still in Chang'an, he could still help himself curb the power of this group of old ministers, but now it is good that he has to fight alone to deal with these old ministers, but fortunately, these old ministers are just a little old and stubborn, and they tell Li Zhi every day what to do and what not to do, which does not pose a threat to Li Zhi's rule.

As soon as Wu Zetian entered the room with the boiled ginseng soup, he saw Li Zhi's brows tightened, as if he had something on his mind.

"Your Majesty has something on your mind?" ・Wu Zetian put down the ginseng soup in his hand and asked with concern.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing! Li Zhi said hesitantly.

"Actually, Your Majesty doesn't say it, I can guess that Your Majesty is worried about Lord Zhu's affairs!" Wu Zetian said softly.

"Mei Niang, I can't hide anything from you!" Li Zhiqiang said with a smile.

"Actually, after the battle report of the cavalry general Ma Yue arrived at the military department yesterday, you have been dull, I know that you care about Lord Zhu's affairs!" Wu Zetian was originally wise, and he guessed Li Zhi's heart at once.

"Hey! Mei Niang, it's really strange that you explain that Yang He actually used a cloth ball to break through the iron bucket-like Dragon Branch City! Li Zhi handed the fold presented by the military department on the table to Wu Zetian.

"What's so strange about this, I already expected that this Lord Zhu was not a thing in the pool." Wu Zetian finished reading the recital and gently put it back in its place.

"Mei Niang, do you know why there are so many people in Datang, I only choose Mingyang to escort the national teacher?" Li Zhi saw that Wu Zetian was unimpressed, and said seriously.

"Why?" Although Wu Zetian was wise, he felt that Li Zhi must have his own ideas.

"Actually, I have a lot of people in the Tang Dynasty, and it is not difficult to choose someone to escort the national teacher of Tubo, but although this escort is simple, the important thing is that when you arrive in Tubo, you can resolve the contradictions between the two countries and come back safely." Li Zhi said thoughtfully.

"Why are you so sure that Master Zhu will be able to safely escort the Tubo National Teacher and complete the task?" Wu Zetian asked curiously.

"Because there's a secret in this?" Li Zhi's expression suddenly became mysterious.

"Secret? What secret? Wu Zetian had already guessed that Zhu Mingyang's identity was not simple, since he met Zhu Mingyang for the first time, he felt that Zhu Mingyang's actions and words were a little wonderful, although Zhu Mingyang told him that he was from a distant country.

"Stand down!" Li Zhiping retired all the people in the Zichen Palace, and only Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang were left in the huge Zichen Palace.

"What's the matter, it's so confidential, if it's too important, don't tell Mei Niang!" Wu Zetian understood that the more things he knew in the deep palace, the more dangerous it became.

"Although this matter is important, there are only you and me today, you are the person I trust the most, and it doesn't hurt to tell you. And this matter has been on my mind for a long time, and I want to find someone to talk to! Li Zhi said with a deep face.

"Although I don't know if I can share the worries for Your Majesty, Mei Niang will definitely not pass on the matter to others!" Wu Zetian was also very moved to see Li Zhi trusting him so much.

"First of all, ask Mei Niang, have you ever heard of the people of destiny?" Li Zhi asked in a low voice.

"Destiny? I seem to have heard of it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while! Wu Zetian blinked, as if recalling the past.

"It's okay if you can't think about it, I tell you that this Mandate of Heaven is to use a special sacrifice to summon people thousands of years later, although I don't know how this sacrifice should be held, but I understand that the Mandate of Heaven who is summoned back is extremely powerful." Li Zhi said seriously.

"So, do you think Master Zhu is the man of destiny?" Wu Zetian asked tentatively.

"Yes, I'm sure Mingyang is the man of destiny." Li Zhi said firmly. 、

"How so?" Wu Zetian thought for a while and asked.

"This has to start with the deceased father...... Li Zhi remembered the scene when Li Shimin summoned him on the eve of his death.

In Zichen Palace, Li Shimin's face was unusually pale, and he withdrew all the people, leaving only Li Zhi.

Li Shimin gently stroked Li Zhi's cheek with his hand, his eyes were fixed on Li Zhi, and it seemed that he had something very important to tell Li Zhi.

"Father!" Li Zhi sobbed in pain and lay on Li Shimin's body.

"Zhi'er, don't cry, you are already an adult, and you will soon be the king of a country, what kind of system is it to cry and cry like this!" Although Li Shimin's voice is not loud, he is extremely majestic.

"Hmmm! I don't cry! Li Zhi wiped away his tears with his sleeve.

"Listen, my time is running out, you have to keep in mind everything I say to you today!" Li Shimin's expression suddenly became serious.

"Hmm!" Li Zhi nodded vigorously.

"You remember, in the near future, there will be a person of destiny in my Datang, and this person will appear after I leave, and you can use the method of measuring rods to test this person. If this person is used by my Datang, he can ensure that my Datang is in good weather, and if he is used by gangsters, he will be full of smoke, but no matter what, you are not allowed to kill him, otherwise he will be punished by God, you understand, cough cough cough! After Li Shimin finished speaking, he was suddenly extremely excited.

"Yes, the boy understands!" Li Zhi said sincerely.

Li Shimin saw that Li Zhi agreed, so he slowly closed his eyes......

After listening to Li Zhi's narration, Wu Zetian was shocked, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to expect Zhu Mingyang's arrival before he died.

"It turns out that Your Majesty, you deliberately used the method of measuring rods to find the person of destiny, and not to build the Ganye Temple?" Wu Zetian suddenly remembered that Zhu Mingyang was selected to build Ganye Temple from Yuezhou.

"Hmmm! In fact, I didn't believe in any people with a mandate of heaven, how could national affairs be controlled by the power of one person, but thinking of the emperor's special advice, I selected the workers to build the temple by measuring the rod, even if there is no person with the mandate of heaven, you can also choose some workers to build the temple. Li Zhi said slowly.

"So, you originally planned to choose workers to build the temple, but you really found the person of destiny." Wu Zetian thought for a moment and said.

"That day to check the construction of the Ganye Temple, I felt that his method of repairing the temple was unheard of, and later he discussed Buddhism with you in the Taiji Palace, and I was more firm in my opinion, knowing that the battle report submitted by the Ministry of War made me firmly believe that Mingyang is the man of destiny, so I am worried that he is not by my side, if he falls into the hands of the bad people, what would be good." Li Shimin said worriedly.

"Your Majesty, I also have some dealings with Master Zhu, and I believe that he is a person and will not help him to abuse." Wu Zetian comforted.

"I hope so!" Li Zhi sighed deeply......
