On August 19 of the second year of Yonglong in the Tang Dynasty, the news of Tubo being broken reached Luoyang, which can be described as a shock to the government and the opposition, and there was jubilation up and down, all of them praised Gaozong's wisdom and martial arts, and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty's martial arts, although the Qin Emperor and Han Wu were far behind, so the voice of praise was endless, and there were even people who wrote tens of thousands of words. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In such a situation, auspicious rui has appeared in various places, such as the dry well water in a certain place suddenly spewed out a sweet spring, the sound of phoenixes chirping in a certain place, the footprints of a turtle in a certain place, etc., and so on, anyway, they are all indirectly praising the strength of the Tang Dynasty.

And Gaozong, who has been ill for a long time, has suddenly reduced his condition a lot at this time, as the so-called people are in good spirits when they are happy, and now Gaozong is immersed in one good news after another every day, every time he reads one, he feels more proud in his heart, and finally said with a smile to Empress Wu: "All the emperors in history, who can have a land as vast as my Tang Dynasty?" Who has so many people under my rule as I do? In the more than 30 years since I ascended the throne, the territory of the Tang Dynasty has nearly doubled, and the population has nearly doubled. In fact, I also know that I gave birth to a good emperor and set up a good prince, and I believe that after I ride the crane, the prince will definitely be able to become the first emperor of the ages. This Xue Ne is also worthy of being a generation of famous generals, and he has made such a great contribution at a young age, Mei Niang, do you think I should worship him as the third product under the Tongzhongshu Sect, or worship him as the Pingzhang Affair under the Tongzhongshu Sect? ”

At this time, Empress Wu suddenly said: "Your Majesty, now the prince is in charge of three-quarters of the soldiers and horses in the world, especially Xue Rengui's father and son, who are generals in the same dynasty, and that Xue Ne has made great achievements in the world, this is really the so-called high merit and shocking the master, for such a situation, Your Majesty even wants to worship that Xue Ne, don't you worry that the father and son will have different hearts?" ”

But seeing Gaozong waved his hand and smiled: "Mei Niang doesn't have to worry about this, although Xue Ne has made great achievements now, he has always been guided by Xian'er, not to mention that all the generals under his command have received Xian'er's favor, if they dare to have different intentions, with Xian'er's prestige in the army, those generals will definitely oppose it at the first time, so in this way, isn't Xue Ne intriguing himself?" When the child grows up, you have to have full confidence in him, and this Xue Rengui is the minister of my family, loyal to my Tang Dynasty, and there will be absolutely no dissent, I dare to guarantee that in order to prove his innocence and for the future of his son, Xue Rengui will definitely write to me and ask for Zhishi, hehe, if this is the case, I will worship Xue Ne as the prime minister, and the same kind of three products under the Chinese book. ”

"Alas, Your Majesty, you have misunderstood the meaning of the concubine, even if Xue Rengui's father and son have the merit of pouring the sky, they are only courtiers, with their strength to plot against them, even if they have such guts, they do not have such strength, the concubines are worried, someone will secretly support them and seek the supreme power of my Tang Dynasty......" Empress Wu gently pointed to the east with her hand, and sighed softly at Gaozong.

When Gaozong heard this, he laughed and said, "So far, why is Mei Niang still worried about this matter? You can rest assured, my son is pure and filial, and there will never be a heart of disobedience, the world will be his sooner or later, why rush for a while? Besides, if he really wants it, I will immediately give the world to him, I also figured it out, like my body, I can't live for many years, instead of occupying this position, it is better to give it to him directly, anyway, the current government is basically handled by him, Mei Niang, you have handled the government for me for so many years, and I am tired, now that my son has grown up, mature, and can handle the government independently, is it time to take a break? When the time comes, I will be my emperor, you will be your queen mother, and the two of us will enjoy our old age together, isn't it a wonderful thing in life? ”

"Hehe, what Your Majesty said is that the concubines also feel that Your Majesty is right, now that the children are older, we don't have to worry about those worries anymore, why don't we enjoy the blessings and live that kind of hard life?"

Why can't Empress Wu hear that Gaozong's words have the meaning of persuasion? However, this was completely contrary to her philosophy, and completely aroused the anger in her heart, but she did not show it, and said righteous and awe-inspiring words to Gaozong and Yue.

Gaozong didn't know that what Empress Wu said was insincere, and thought that Empress Wu had really given up the idea of gaining power, so he couldn't help but feel very relieved in his heart, and said softly to Empress Wu: "Mei Niang, you can be like this, my heart is very gratified, and you can rest assured that from now on, I will definitely not let you suffer so much fatigue." ”

Empress Wu forced a smile, and after putting Gaozong to sleep, she quietly returned to her palace, but with a cruel smile on her face, she said silently: "I really didn't expect you to treat me like this, didn't you see my embarrassment?" I retreated step by step before, and now it has reached the point where I can no longer back down, Li Xian, this kid is too deceitful, if I don't fight back, thirty years of hard work will eventually turn into flowing water, the days after that kid completely controls the power, I don't even dare to think about it, hehe, give the world to him, I am willing to be plain, I can't live such a day, since you are so hearted to your son, but so ruthless to me, then don't blame me for ignoring the thirty years of husband and wife! ”

Empress Wu had made up his mind, so he quietly called his henchman, Guanglu Cheng Ma Jin, and quietly gave him some orders.

"Huh? This, the queen of heaven spared her life, and Weichen categorically did not dare to do it. After listening to Empress Wu's instructions, Ma Jin's face suddenly turned extremely pale, and he broke out in a cold sweat and said tremblingly.

"Hmph, you get up for the palace, everything is in charge of the palace, and the palace is in charge of something, what do you have to worry about? Hehe, Ma Jin, if you do a good job at this time, when the matter is completed, this palace will definitely be indispensable to your benefits, this Guanglu Shaoqing's position will be yours in the future, if you dare to resist the decree, you don't have to be careful of your wife, children and mother, maybe one day when you go home, you will find that they are all missing, and at that time, even if you regret it, it will be too late......."

"The queen of heaven Niangniang, please forgive the sin, Weichen, Weichen is just confused for a while, failed to understand the meaning of the queen of heaven's words, Weichen is loyal to the queen of heaven, even if he dies, he will never frown, please rest assured that Weichen will definitely live up to his mission and complete the explanation of the queen of heaven." By now, Ma Jin had no other choice, so he could only wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and said respectfully to Empress Wu. (To be continued.) )
