Zhou Xing stood on the stone steps of the mountain gate, motionless, even the Sichuan characters slightly wrinkled in his eyebrows had not changed for a long time, if it weren't for the spring breeze gently blowing his robe and the beard under his chin, he would be like a sculpture pestle there.

After a long time, he shook his head lightly and said in a deep voice: "After thinking about it repeatedly, I still think that the descendants of the Queen of Heaven are the least likely to be descendants of the Li family!" Although it is the biological son of the Queen of Heaven, if it is passed on to them, they will definitely restore the title of Li Tangguo, so what is the point of the Queen of Heaven being called the emperor? It's good if she continues to be a diva! ”

Qiu Shenji nodded heavily and said, "Yes, I mean the same thing." That's why we chose Taiping, speaking of which, if Taiping is willing to fight, I think she may be the biggest to become the crown prince. ”

Zhou Xing said: "Hmm! If there is anyone else in this world that the queen of heaven really loves and cares about, it is only peace. Although she is also surnamed Li, if she wants to inherit the world, only the new dynasty is possible. Once the Li Tang Kingdom is restored, it is impossible for her, the female emperor, to exist, and she will inevitably still be in the Li Tang clan, so Taiping is the best candidate. ”

Qiu Shenji's eyes moved, and he suddenly said with interest: "The queen of heaven can kill her son if she wants, but she prefers Taiping, and it is rumored that it is because the queen of heaven strangled her infant daughter to death in order to compete for the position of queen, and blamed the queen Wang." The queen of heaven is a woman after all, that is the daughter she killed with her own hands, and the queen of heaven favors Taiping, because she made up for the guilt of the little princess to Taiping? ”

Zhou Xing smiled faintly and said, "It's groundless." Not necessarily without cause. A little princess who died at the age of only a few months did not need to be solemnly courteous, but after the queen of heaven took power, she gave the little princess who had been dead for many years a big title and a grand burial, and its specifications exceeded all the princesses of the Tang Dynasty, maybe this rumor is really true. But. There is no need to explore whether it is true or false, but it is important. It is a fact that the queen of heaven prefers peace, otherwise there would not be so many rumors in the market, but it is a pity. Horses of courses......

Qiu Shenji said: "Taiping has no intention of taking the throne, so this imperial heir should be the most likely son and nephew of the Wu family, right?" ”

Zhou Xing slowly shook his head and said, "The reason why I can't make up my mind is because of this. The relationship between the Queen of Heaven and the Wu family is actually not good, to be precise, it is extremely bad. After the Queen of Heaven took power, the first person to take action was the martial arts. Think about it, the queen's two half-brothers, Wu Yuanshuang and Wu Yuanqing, and three cousins, Wu Huailiang, Wu Weiliang, and Wu Huaiyun. What happened to them? ”

Qiu Shenji thought for a while and said, "Wu Yuanshuang and Wu Yuanqing died in exile, and it is said that they died of depression because they were too afraid. The three cousins of the queen of heaven, Wu Huailiang died a long time ago. Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun were executed by the Queen of Heaven, and their sons and heirs were all changed to the surname of Pi and exiled to the border wilderness! ”

Zhou Xing said "hey" and said, "Not bad!" Even the surname was changed to the surname of the pit viper, the pit viper! Even if Wu Huailiang, the cousin of the queen of heaven who died early, he would not be spared when he died. The Queen of Heaven escorted his wife, Shan, into Beijing, and personally whipped him with thorns every day, whipped Shan's back to shreds, exposed his bones, and wailed to death. This is not just a discord with the family, what kind of hatred does it take to do such a thing? ”

Qiu Shenji's eyes flashed, and he said, "The crime announced by the Queen of Heaven is that they are disrespectful to the Yang family, the biological mother of the Queen of Heaven. Hehe, I don't believe this reason. Yang was forty years old when he married the father of the Queen of Heaven, when the father of the Queen of Heaven was named the Duke of Yingguo, one of the sixteen founding fathers of my Tang Dynasty, one of the eight prime ministers of the Gaozu Dynasty, in charge of the forbidden army, high and powerful, what kind of woman can't marry?

The Yang family is over forty years old, and she can still marry Ying Guogong as his wife, just because she is Hongnong Yang, a giant lord of the high gate. Just ask this kind of background, and she is a dignified and just wife of Ying Guo, how dare her two stepsons be disrespectful to her? Not to mention that Wu Huailiang and the three of them are side branches of the Wu family, and it is impossible to be rude to the Duchess of the Kingdom. ”…,

Zhou Xingdao: "Yes, because of this 'rudeness', let the queen of heaven linger, enter the palace at the age of fourteen, and after forty years of power, he can't wait to execute a few brothers and exile the entire Wu family?" This hatred, I'm afraid it's not just that simple, and it may not be on the Yang family. ”

Qiu Shenji said: "The queen of heaven entered the palace at the age of fourteen, and I heard that before entering the palace, she was still a young girl, and the name of beauty spread in the place?" ”

The two glanced at each other, as if they suddenly thought of something, but they didn't want to say it, the two of them looked at each other, and they dodged away, Zhou Xing diverted the topic and said: "The queen of heaven reused the people of the Wu clan, and it was after the idea of being called the emperor was born, so they changed their surname from the pit to the surname Wu, transferred back to the capital, and installed important positions. That's why I'm not sure, after the queen of heaven becomes the emperor, whether they are needed or not. ”

Qiu Shenji thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, the Queen of Heaven has no other choice. If the descendants of the Li family are chosen, why should the queen of heaven go to great lengths to seek the title of emperor. Once the queen of heaven is called the emperor, what she has to consider is how to inherit her country, since the queen of heaven can give up her hatred and enable the Wu clan people in order to be the emperor, then ...... In order to pass on her country, she can only choose one heir from the descendants of the Wu family! ”

Zhou Xing paced back and forth on the steps with his hands for a while, then raised his head and asked, "So, in your opinion, if the Queen of Heaven can only choose one imperial heir from the Wu family's sons and nephews, who is most likely?" ”

Qiu Shenji said categorically: "Wu Chenghe! ”

Zhou Xingdao: "Why? ”

Qiu Shenji said: "Among the nephews of the Wu family, the most promising ones are Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi. From the patriarchal point of view, Wu Chenghei inherited the ancestral lord Zhou Guogong, and inherited the mantle of Empress Wu's biological father, so he is a big sect and Wu Sansi is a small sect. In terms of blood, Wu Chengsi is the first line of Wu Yuanshuang, Wu Sansi is the first line of Wu Yuanqing, Yuan Shuang is the elder brother, is the long room, Yuanqing is the younger brother, is the second room, according to this order, Wu Chengsi should also be the most promising person to become the heir of the emperor, what does Brother Zhou think? ”

Zhou Xing paced up again, paced for a long time, and then stopped, looked back at Qiu Shenji and said: "The queen of heaven will be stationed in Xiangshan Temple, and the emperor's relatives and civil and military officials will live in other monasteries and the houses and villas of the temporarily requisitioned eunuchs. Wu Chenghe's residence is in Bongjansa Temple! ”

Qiu Shenji smiled and said, "Okay! When he arrived, I went to visit, hoping that this time, I would not come back with a nose of ashes! ”

Zhou Xing smiled and said firmly: "No!" Wu Chengsi is not peaceful! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Wu Zetian's guard of honor rushed to Longmen, and the ministers of civil and military affairs who rushed to Longmen to prepare together greeted them in front of the mountain, and took the queen up the mountain. Qiu Shenji rearranged and inspected the deployment of patrols, returned to Xiangshan Temple and reported to the Empress Wu, and when he saw the queen of heaven, he showed tiredness and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.

Qiu Shenji left Xiangshan Temple and went straight to Fengxian Temple. When the people in Wu Chenghe's mansion saw that it was General Jin Wuwei who was visiting, they did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly invited him into a quiet and clean meditation room and offered him a glass of cheese made of goat's milk.

Qiu Shenji sat down, took a sip of cheese, and asked, "Qiu took the liberty to visit, and he didn't have an appointment beforehand, so I don't know if Wu Xiang is available?" ”

At this time, Wu Chengsi was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he was one of the prime ministers, and he was so commensurate with Qiu Shen's achievements. The Wu family replied: "Unfortunately, the Queen of Heaven patrols the Dragon Gate, and there are many people from the Wu clan, because it is rare for ordinary clansmen to see each other, and my family Ah Lang and Lord Xia Guan Shangshu Sansi will go to the Wu clan together." ”

Qiu Shenji let out an "oh", slightly disappointed, and then asked again: "I don't know how long the martial minister has been gone?" ”

The Wufu family said: "It's about an hour and a half. ”…,

Qiu Shenji thought for a moment and said: "That is the case, presumably the martial minister should also come back, so sit down for a while and wait for the prime minister." ”

The Wufu family said: "Yes, the general, please take a seat, my family Ah Lang will come back, and the small one will report immediately." ”

At this time, in the valley behind the mountain of Fengxian Temple, the pines and cypresses are towering, and the cool breeze is blowing. There are dozens of bamboo mats in the forest, and there are several cases on the table, on which are various foods such as buttermilk, rice wine, fruits, and snacks. The people of the Wu clan in Beijing all gathered here, one by one brocade robes and jade belts, and the extravagance was compelling.

A large number of people gathered here, as if they were on a spring trip, but the scene was unusually quiet, and there was no noise at all. Sitting in the middle seat, of course, were Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, these two people seemed to be the core figures of the entire Wu family.

Wu Chengsi said: "Everyone, I have made it very clear to Sansi and I just now. My Wu clan is rich and glorious all in the queen of heaven. Now, it is imminent for the queen of heaven to replace Li Tang. At this time, we Wu clan members must work together and go all out to help the queen ascend the throne as soon as possible. ”

Wu Sansi said loudly: "Once the Queen of Heaven ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, my Wu clan will be the royal family!" Noble and worry-free! Therefore, all the people of my Wu clan must go all out, if anyone is half-hearted, they are the common enemy of my whole clan, and they should rise up and annihilate them! The queen of heaven was reluctant to ascend the throne for a long time, all because there were still people loyal to the Li Tang clan in the government and the opposition, either soldiers or powers, so that the queen of heaven had to have some scruples. What we have to do now is to kill all the Li Tang clan, kill all the ministers loyal to Li Tang, and remove all obstacles for the queen of heaven! ”

Wu Chengsi bowed his head and said: "What you said is very true! Now, Li Shangjin, King of Ze, Li Sujie, King of Xun, Li Ying, King of Nan'an, and other children of the Li Tang Sect are still there, we have to get rid of these people as soon as possible, and then kill the ministers in the court who refuse to be attached to my Wu clan one by one! ”

Wu Sansi saw that he was holding on to his superiors, and he always put on a posture of the head of the Wu clan in front of his clan and himself, he was very unhappy in his heart, snorted coldly, and said, "Don't forget!" And Li Xian's two sons! They won't survive! ”
