Chapter 125: The Two Giants
The night in the palace was very quiet, and although there was a sound of patrolling from time to time, it was still very quiet. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info no one spoke, whether it was the guards or the eunuchs and palace maids who served. They were afraid that because of their voices, they would affect the rest of the nobles and provoke death.
Therefore, whenever it is night, even the people on duty need to do some cleaning work while the nobles are resting. But they have also learned how to do things with the slightest voice, how to give orders without speaking.
And Helan Minzhi is the same here, at least two of the eight palace maids waiting outside will be on duty at night. But I couldn't even hear the sound of them walking, it was quiet enough.
It was this tranquility that made him feel scared, no, it should be Wu Zetian who made him feel scared. This woman is not an ordinary horror. The moment they saw her mother crying when they met for the first time, Helan Minzhi almost thought that she was no different from an ordinary woman, and even thought that she was a little weak.
When she sat next to Gaozong gently, exuding this maternal brilliance on her body, and from time to time she chose some of his favorite dishes for Gaozong and put them in front of her, Helan Minzhi felt from the bottom of her heart that she was really a virtuous wife and a loving mother.
When she refused Gaozong's reward to her mother's family without hesitation, Helan Minzhi even felt that this woman would not be arrogant, knew how to advance and retreat, and knew the etiquette.
However, Helan Minzhi had read history, and he thought so at the moment when he knew that Wu Zetian's horror was still there. If you hadn't thought about it carefully, if you hadn't known the future Wu Cao, who would have known that this gentleness, this love, and this weakness are just another kind of acting?
Obviously, he had reminded himself more than once in his heart, but he still failed the first time he saw her. This is not a high-grade person, this is his aunt, the terrible Empress Wu Cao.
Lie down on a soft queen bed. Cold sweat fell from Helan Minzhi's forehead drop by drop, and he almost didn't wipe it away. No one has ever been scheming to make him afraid to be like this.
If his mother and sister were really taken by Gaozong... So what can you do to protect them? What should I do? He pressed his hand tightly on his temple, and the meditation still did not yield the slightest.
But what is even more uncomfortable is that Gaozong is not stupid, and he is also very smart.
The world has always had some misunderstandings about Gaozong. Think he's a faint king. In fact, it is not, Gaozong ruled for 34 years in his life, and the Tang Dynasty was thriving, among which the rule of Yonghui was known as one of the best prosperous times that was not inferior to the rule of Zhenguan.
It's just that Shangcheng Taizong. Under the Xuanzong, there was an ancient empress Wu Zetian in the middle, so Gaozong Li Zhi is not obvious to be able to write a special book. Especially since he is in poor health all year round, he often appears in front of the world with a weak appearance. In addition, Gaozong has always been low-key and simple, and these qualities of benevolence and benevolence are often a little shabby when placed on an emperor.
However, during the reign of Gojong for more than thirty years. Together with the Auxiliary Minister, we will create a prosperous era of Yonghui and make great efforts. There was the Tang Dynasty, and the empire was the most prosperous and largest in Gaozong. single-handedly swept away Emperor Yang Guang of Sui. Tang Taizong Li Shimin did not make any effort to pacify Goryeo. China's aristocratic monopoly of officials, which lasted for thousands of years, and the situation of the family's domination of the court officially went into decline from the Gaozong era. The revision of the "Chronicles of the Clans" successfully cracked down on the powerful forces of the scholars, promoted the imperial examination, and selected the scholars of the poor family. And so on, all of this is enough to show that Tang Gaozong Li Zhi is a Ming monarch, if it is not for the fact that his health has not been good, he can be a person who can go down in history and become an emperor through the ages like his father Li Shimin.
Even if Wu Zetian is smart, when Gaozong was in power. She will always just be subservient to Gojong. Dominated by his will, he never dared to disobey his orders.
Now Wu Zetian's disguise, the reason is also very simple. It's that Gaozong likes such Wu Zetian, in order to please Gaozong. To maintain his position, Wu Zetian has no choice, so he has to be like this.
In the face of these two powerful giants, Helan Minzhi didn't know what to do. Gaozong's will is above the current court, and the eldest grandson Wuji can still stop it. But soon after, the eldest grandson Wuji fell, and there was no one in the court who could not obey Gaozong's command. If he insists on doing something to his mother. What should I do?
Wu Zetian is also about to ascend to the throne, with Gaozong's favor, the advantage of his heirs, and the help of foreign ministers such as Xu Jingzong of Li Yifu. Wu Zetian is also bound to become an extremely powerful force.
If Gaozong wanted his mother and sister, Wu Zetian would definitely kill them. This is like a dead end, he has no way to stop Gaozong, and he can't threaten Wu Zetian.
If you don't plan for a rainy day now, you will survive in the future. Gaozong has a weak temperament and is prone to compromise. And once one of the two sides of the gap compromises, it is bound that there will be no gap. was completely crushed, this is the fate of Helan Minzhi in the previous life.
Go, escape from Chang'an, Helan Minzhi didn't think about it. If at the beginning, he still wanted to ride the wind and waves, see the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and taste the court. After living with Wu Shun and Min Yue for so many years, there is nothing more important in his heart than his mother and sister. But can you go? The answer is obvious, no.
This is the Tang Dynasty, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Where can it go? Out of this Datang, what are you? I don't even have a household registration, and I and others are untouchables, so there are more than some on the slave wall. Go out from here, catch up with a natural and man-made disaster, and you don't know how to die. Can't go out, can't go.
Since you can't walk, you can only climb up desperately. And to climb, you have to rely on Wu Zetian, he is not the protagonist, he is born with a halo. Whoever sees it has to kneel on the ground, and the mountain shouts long live. Here, if you want to climb high, you must have something to rely on. And this reliance can only be Wu Zetian.
That's why Helan Minzhi is so entangled, and he doesn't know what to do. If I didn't know much about these two before, I saw them today. How to live the rest of the day is not a simple and easy matter.
After tossing and turning all night, Helan Minzhi didn't know if he was asleep or not. It always feels like I'm confused and unconscious. Under the shouts of the palace maid, he barely opened his eyes. This place is far away from Wu Zetian's Imperial Palace, and he must get up nearly an hour in advance to freshen up before he can catch up with them for breakfast. (To be continued.) )
