Chapter 252: Life hangs by a thread

Li Longji is obviously not a reckless person.

Of course, he knows very well that it is easy to take the door, but it is very difficult to deal with the aftermath.

In all dynasties, how many times have they seized the door, but whenever they are launched, the probability of success is actually not small, after all, this is a fatal blow that has been prepared to attack unprepared, and it is a fatal blow that has accumulated strength and launched violently.

But how many people are there who rely on seizing the door to come to power, so as to sit firmly in the world?

You must know that it is easy to fight the world with fists, but it is even more difficult to rule the world with fists, because you have fists, others also have fists, the Qin Dynasty does not understand this truth, so it falls apart, Emperor Yang of Sui does not know this truth, so the world is full of flames.

Wu Zetian has become the Son of Heaven, and her name is not right, so she is in danger, no matter how diligent she is, she still has to rely on countless balancing measures to balance all parties.

Li Shimin killed his brother and controlled the situation, but he still had to obediently run to find Emperor Gaozu, crying bitterly, although there was also an element of coercion and temptation, but if the Xuanwu Gate changed, if he even served Emperor Gaozu, I was afraid that the seat on this Jinluan Hall would not be so stable.

The same is true of the problem that Li Longji is facing now. He launched the seizure of the door, launched the palace change, and he was about to succeed, and now he ...... What needs to be considered is the most fundamental question, how to deal with the aftermath.

First of all, even if he kills Wu Zetian, he still has a strong competitor, that is the current crown prince Li Xian, Li Xian's side, there are also many ministers who support him, and he also controls many janissaries, the reason why they are not launched now is just that they were disrupted by Li Longji's sudden attack, which does not mean that when they come to their senses, they will not fight back.

In addition, there is also the samurai, although the samurai are unpopular. But don't forget, since His Majesty ascended the throne, in order to balance the Li family and vigorously cultivate the Wu family, the Wu family in Luoyang also raised a large number of private soldiers, and also controlled many soldiers and horses. Li Longji killed Wu Zetian, in order to make his behavior more legitimate, he had to characterize Wu Zetian as a thief, but Wu Zetian was a thief. Between the Wu clan and Li Longji, there is no room for maneuver, and the martial artists who have reacted will definitely fight back with all their might, and would rather die together.

There is also the Tiance Army outside the city, Qin Shaoyou and himself have never been on good terms, if there is almost no accident, Qin Shaoyou, who reacts, will definitely react. As long as Wu Zetian dies today, the Tiance Army can completely cooperate with the Wu family and even the King of Luling in the name of avenging the Son of Heaven.

At that time, why will Li Longji determine the world?

The only way. It is to coerce Wu Zetian to draft an edict and give up the throne, only in this way, once there is an edict. The rationality of King Luling completely fell apart, and Di Renjie's support for King Luling was just that His Majesty regarded him as the crown prince. And the Wu family's side. Even if you want to do it, but their aunt has already made a concession, and now she is still the emperor, what do you do to oppose it? Their only choice is to be obedient and not lose their position as a prince, as long as they get the edict, Li Longji's legitimacy comes from Wu Zetian, and the people of the martial family of course also believe that even if this new son of heaven will suppress the martial family, it will definitely not reach the point of being killed, as long as they give the martial family a little hope, they will surrender.

As for Qin Shaoyou, if Wu Zetian died, they could have raised the banner of rebellion, but once Li Longji got the edict, then they would be a rebellion, with his Tiance army of more than 1,000 people, what kind of climate could it become, I am afraid that Li Longji will not have to be suppressed, and those Tiance officers and soldiers are afraid that they will be scattered.

Just now...... Ziwei Palace is in a hurry, it may not be able to take it, and Li Longji will never wait until dawn, under the condition of ensuring Wu Zetian's safety, his only way is to coerce Wu Zetian to obediently tie his hands and arrest him within a period of time.

The conditions put forward by Wu Zetian did not involve his fundamental interests.

Therefore, Wu Yizong, who was as earthy as an earthy face for a while, persuaded him again and again, but Li Longji looked at him with deep eyes, and said with a smile: "General Wu, you have made a great contribution this time, this king will not owe you, what we negotiated before, is still counted, but now, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace for a while, there is this king and all the righteous people here, why are you afraid, you might as well go and meet, what's the matter?" Come on, send General Wu to meet the Son of Heaven! ”

Wu Yizong was completely panicked, but he was helpless.

He walked into Ziwei Palace step by step, and the guards of Ziwei Palace caught him and immediately led him into the darkness.

At this time, Li Longji was in the dark, with his hands behind his back, looking at Wu Yizong, and he suddenly said: "Order, after half an hour, if there is no news, this Ziwei Palace will be razed to the ground!" ”

"Whoa!"

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Wu Yizong lowered his head and entered the main hall.

The hall was silent, he didn't dare to look up, but he arrived in the hall in a light car, and then fell to the ground, he hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Minister Wu Yizong, I have seen Your Majesty."

In silence.

After the sound fell, the pin drop was still audible in the temple.

There was no sound.

Wu Yizong lowered his head, he waited for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, raised his eyes, and then, he saw Wu Zetian sitting high, a pair of phoenix eyes like a laser nailed to his body.

He was a little frightened in his heart, and in order to cover it up, he had to say again: "Minister Wu Yizong, I have seen Your Majesty!" ”

"Wu Yizong......" Wu Zetian finally spoke, she muttered the name with a smile, and said: "What about you, you are also a member of the Wu family, and you are my cousin, where am I...... Remember your father, who is just the chief bookkeeper of the county, is me...... Posthumously crowned your father a county king, I still remember, with your talent, you are just a school captain, but I am me, I promise you glory and wealth, and now you, inherited the lord of the county king, with the position of Jinwu general, holding the palace forbidden defense. I...... I had expected everything, but I never expected it...... You actually colluded with Li Longji, I have seen the hearts of people all my life in this life, but after all, I still read it wrong, I still don't understand, why are people like you willing to rebel, Wu Yizong, you raise your head, I want to hear from you. ”

Wu Yizong suddenly showed a look of shame, he tried his best to raise his head, but as soon as he came into contact with Wu Zetian's deep eyes, he was busy hanging down, and he had to say: "The minister has the sin of ten thousand deaths." ”

The temple was quiet again.

Still smelling a needle.

Suddenly, with a ping pong, a teacup fell down, Wu Zetian suddenly became furious, she dropped the teacup, her body began to shake violently, her eyes were bloodshot, and there was also a naked killing intent, she gritted her teeth and said: "Why you, why you, I expected many possibilities, but what I didn't expect was you!" You say, you say! ”

Wu Yizong's body is like a sifting chaff.

Wu Zetian laughed indifferently, she seemed to restrain her emotions, and then sneered: "If you don't say it, someone is coming...... Rip him off...... Rip him ......"

A group of guards is about to step forward.

Wu Yizong was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, ...... outside the palace"

"Outside the palace?" Wu Zetian sneered: "Those henchmen of yours outside the palace may not care about your life, Li Longji's child is a smart person, the things he wants are in my hands, compared to this thing, what is your mere life, don't you understand it yet?"

Wu Zetian's words, of course, have the meaning of sowing discord, but they are by no means unreasonable, how could Wu Yizong not understand, he suddenly became angry in his heart, suddenly raised his eyes, and looked directly into Wu Zetian's eyes, he actually sneered, and said, "Your Majesty has to listen, right?" If your Majesty wants to hear it, then I will tell you. ”

He began to laugh cruelly, actually got up, and began to despise Wu Zetian's authority, he said in a cold voice: "That's right, my Wu Yizong, not a close relative of the Wu family, counted, just a poor relative, my father, at most, is just a county master, it's really not worth mentioning, if there is no Your Majesty, he is only afraid that he doesn't even have the title of a county man, where is it possible, can he be posthumously crowned the county king, and what about the minister, with the identity of the son of the master book, what is the future?" Even if you go around and tell you, at most, you can barely survive in peace. Your Majesty just said, there is nothing wrong with a word, I remember when I was young, because of my humble status, every time my father took me to visit relatives and friends, I was often looked down upon, my father's family did not have much savings, but after all, it was a master book, and I also needed a little face, and my father also had to support me to go to the clan to study, and the expenses were not small, so the days were tight, such days, I will never forget, Your Majesty is right, if there is no Your Majesty, there will be no ministers today, there will be no today's brocade clothes and food, wealth and glory, The more this is the case, the more grateful the minister is to His Majesty. ”

He said this as a bit of a surprise.

Originally, Wu Zetian thought that he had forgotten the favor he gave to this guy, but he didn't expect that he would say it like a few treasures.

Wu Yizong then laughed and said: "Do you know, Your Majesty, I often dream, dreaming that I suddenly returned to my childhood, and because I was looking forward to an osmanthus cake, I went to other people's houses every day, waiting for others to give some to eat, and back to that time, my father, in order to find a career for me, took me around, and went around to ask for advice, I remember when I was nineteen years old, my father went to see His Majesty's father, at that time, His Majesty's father tried to find a vacancy for me as a lieutenant in the army, and my father told me very seriously at that time, let me learn to be grateful, if there is no His Majesty's father, with my status as a distant relative, I am afraid that I will not get such benefits for a lifetime.
