Wu Zetian stood at the window, looking at the snowy scenery outside the window, his mind was a little heavy.

When she got up early in the morning, she looked in the mirror, only to see herself, and a few more gray hairs. After all, he is a person who is over the age of old, even if he pays attention to maintenance on weekdays, he still can't resist the erosion of the years after all, and he is getting old day by day.

Since Di Renjie's death, the feeling of loneliness and powerlessness has become more and more intense.

Wu Zetian knew that his energy was not as good as before.

So, she began to plan for the future and pave the way for the crown prince Li Xian. She drove away the prime minister Li Dan in the hope that Li Xian could control the center; She dismissed Yao Chong and Song Jing in the hope of giving Li Xian the opportunity to recruit talents; She overrode public opinion and ordered Yang Shouwen to supervise the battle situation in the western part of Lingnan Province, hoping to inspire Yang Shouwen to grow rapidly and assist Li Xian.

One Yang Chenglie is far from enough.

Even if Yang Shouwen grows up, it is just a drop in the bucket.

Over the years, the Yang family has had too few talents, and there are almost no talents who can be independent.

Therefore, Wu Zetian tried every means to bring Yang Zhirou up, but at present, Yang Zhirou can govern a country, but he has no ability to govern a country.

This also made Wu Zetian more or less disappointed.

Under this disappointment, as well as the fear of growing old, Wu Zetian began to pin his hopes on the art of immortality.

In the first year of Chang'an, Hu monk Hong'an offered medicine, which made Wu Zetian Longyan happy.

What a clever character that Brother Zhang Yi, seeing this, immediately did what he liked, recruited Fangshi everywhere, and refined the elixir of life. Zhang Yizhi's heartiness and cleverness made Wu Zetian feel a little comforted. Since losing Di Renjie, there is no one she can trust in the Manchu Dynasty, so Zhang Yizhi's appearance made her feel warm.

Originally, Wu Zetian wanted to use the two Zhang brothers.

But with the change of attitude towards Zhang Yizhi's brother, she also had a trace of comfort, and she became more indulgent to the two of them.

However, it is this indulgence that has attracted a lot of dissatisfaction.

If it was Wu Zetian in the past, he might not care about these many gossips. But now, she has become extremely sensitive.

The matter of Li Chongrun and the two made Wu Zetian very angry.

However, to tell you the truth, after all, it is his grandson, and the other is his grandson-in-law, and Wu Zetian didn't want to clean them up.

But Li Chongrun didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, so he collided in court.

What kind of character is Wu Zetian?

What the old lady has done, how can she explain it to your children and grandchildren? Right or wrong, even God can't evaluate it, but you collide with me in court? Originally, it was not a big deal, but later, it evolved out of control.

Of course, if the weather is gone, it will be fine.

It's just that Zhang Yizhi and Li Chongrun are known as mustards. Li Chongrun looked down on the two Zhang brothers, and often satirized the two in public; But Zhang Yizhi's brother thinks that we are favored by your grandmother, and we are your elders, how can you disrespect us so much?

This resentment has always accumulated and cannot be resolved in the end.

Therefore, after learning about Li Chongrun's matter, Zhang Yizhi immediately ran to Wu Zetian, behaved, and secretly provoked. Wu Zetian was already unhappy, but being stimulated by Zhang Yizhi's brother, he suddenly had a strong killing intent......

The wind in the middle of winter is cold to the bone.

Wu Zetian held the fence in his hand and looked at the scenery of Lijing Terrace.

She was so irritable that she couldn't calm down.

In the year that is about to pass, it has been too chaotic! There was so much going on that she had a feeling of being overwhelmed.

In the past, she would never have felt tired.

Can ...... now

"Your Majesty, Miss Shangguan and Yiqing Daoist ask to see you."

Outside the palace, the female official quietly reported.

Wu Zetian came back to his senses, but his eyebrows frowned, and he said in a deep voice: "I didn't let Bao'er not get out of Cuiyun Peak, she ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to disobey my will!" Let them in depends on what they have to say. ”

As Princess Taiping said, today's Wu Zetian is very sensitive.

If Bao'er came to intercede, he might anger Wu Zetian on the spot, and even kill Bao'er.

She turned around and sat down in the middle of the main hall, and after a while, she saw Shangguan Wan'er coming in from outside with a wrap.

"Concubine Shangguan Wan'er, meet Your Majesty."

"Once the poor road is clear, please see Your Majesty."

After the two bowed, they didn't hear Wu Zetian's voice.

Bao'er couldn't help but secretly cry out in her heart that she was lucky, fortunately my aunt stopped me just now, otherwise I would have made my grandmother angry if I ran.

"Bao'er, I ordered you to practice in Cuiyun Peak, and you must not leave Cuiyun Peak without my will, why did you come to this Shangyang Palace?

Don't you think I dare punish you? ”

After a long time, Wu Zetian's voice sounded and echoed in the palace.

Bao'er's heart trembled, and she was busy trying to speak.

However, before she could speak, Shangguan Wan'er preemptively said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not Bao'er's fault, but the concubine's negligence. ”

"Oh?"

Wu Zetian frowned and looked at Shangguan Wan'er.

In the phoenix's eyes, a touch of coldness flashed, and she said in a deep voice: "What did you call her to do?" ”

"It's a letter from Lingnan Dao!"

"Huh?"

When Wu Zetian heard this, he immediately stood up.

The war in Lingnan Road did make Wu Zetian feel exhausted. This war has lasted for half a year, and it has had a great impact on both the national strength of the imperial court and the prestige of Wu Zetian. At the beginning, Wu Zetian didn't expect to fight for so long, and a group of natives in Annan made such a big move. She sent Yang Shouwen to Lingnan to take this opportunity to increase Yang Shouwen's qualifications...... I didn't expect the war to be so anxious.

It is precisely because of the uneven war in Lingnan Province that Wu Zetian does not dare to act rashly.

In the face of the Turkic offensive, she can only focus on defense.

Now hearing the Lingnan battle report, Wu Zetian suddenly became excited.

Although she tried to keep her calm, she still couldn't hide the expectation in her words, "Lingnan war, what's going on?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the battle report from Lingnan, Yang Shouwen, the governor of Lingnan West Road, led his troops to attack lightly, attacked Jiaozhou, and killed the thief chief Gan Meng."

Hearing this news, Wu Zetian suddenly felt inexplicably relaxed.

She sat down slowly, and after a while, suddenly smiled.

"Qingzhi, it really lives up to my expectations."

"Today, the superintendent of the imperial history Huan Yanfan and the Anyi army Sima Wang Yuanqi each raised troops and horses all the way to attack the rebels.

It is estimated that at this time, they have become one with Qingzhihui. If it goes well, I believe that soon, there will be a battle report to arrive. ”

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Wu Zetian couldn't help but praise again and again, and then closed his eyes.

"The situation in Lingnan has stabilized, and I can finally get rid of my worries.

By the way, a few days ago, Meng Luosheng, who was edicted by Mengshe, was sparse, and said that Wang Bochong colluded with the people of Annam. Meng Luosheng said that he was willing to conquer Bochong on behalf of me. It's just that the war in Annam was not quiet before, and I hesitated. Now...... Wan'er, do you think you should agree to Meng Luosheng sending troops? (To be continued.) )
