Five days later, Emperor Wu was enthroned, Li Xian was called the emperor, Emperor Wu was honored as the Emperor of the Great Sage, and the restoration number was Tang.

First of all, dozens of officials related to the Zhang brothers were dismissed and exiled, and five people including Zhang Khan Zhi, who participated in the coup, were named kings, and the hundred officials, flags, uniforms, and characters were restored to the old system, and Luoyang was changed from the divine capital to the eastern capital.

After Emperor Wu took the throne, he moved to Shangyang Palace, lingering on the sickbed for several months, and Shen Mengxi went to the palace to serve the sick. I don't need her to do anything, just to accompany her.

Li Xian would go to greet him once every 10 days.

The fear deeply rooted in the bone marrow, as well as the guilt of forcing the palace, pressed Li Xian to raise his head, and in front of Emperor Wu, he still bowed his head and was respectful. In particular, seeing her mother, who is usually dressed exquisitely, now has become haggard, and it is even more tormenting in her heart.

"San Lang, A-Niang took you back from Fangzhou, that is, to hand over all the world to you, why, why can't you wait for A-Niang to close her eyes, and you have to coerce A-Niang with those five thieves?" Emperor Wu burst into tears.

Li Xianping had never seen such a fragile and crying aunt in his life, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying loudly.

Shen Mengxi was ordered by Emperor Wu to help Li Xian, and she could see that Li Xian was extremely remorseful. It's just that his cowardly and gentle character is destined to make big mistakes when encountering such a major decision.

Li Xiangui is the king of a country, and at this moment he was in tears, holding his sister's hand, "Yue'er, do you believe in the third brother, it was they who coerced me, and it was the Cambodian general who carried the brother to the horse and took him to Miyagi." ”

Shen Mengxi nodded subconsciously, she also felt that Li Xian did not need to force the palace, it was clear that the five kings were powerful, greedy for merit, and took advantage of Emperor Wu's old age to control the regime, and took advantage of this serious illness to raise a coup d'état and drag Li Xian, just to justify his reputation.

Shen Mengxi didn't care too much about who was in the hands of the government, first, she knew the trend of history and always felt that she didn't have to do much, and second, she had a lot to do, and she was not interested in politics.

Shen Mengxi has recently been studying "Zhou Yi" with Zhou Xin, the Lingtai Lang of the Taishi Bureau, and at the same time learning to observe the sky and distinguish the weather. Although he went to the palace to accompany Emperor Wu, he still studied diligently, and Emperor Wu saw him and said, "Is Yue'er lonely?" ”

"Loneliness." Shen Mengxi replied seriously. How not to be lonely, no matter whether parents and lovers and children, no one accompanies her to the end, everyone is just a passerby who accompanies her on a journey, a person, does not learn to be alone, can not settle down the impetuous heart, how to spend the long years, "but not lonely." ”

When Emperor Wu heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he said for a long time: "A-Niang is the opposite, A-Niang is not lonely, but very lonely. At the end, the voice was so deep that it was almost inaudible.

Vigorous, a life of ups and downs, and in the end she said, very lonely.

"A-Niang, go to Qingyun Villa with Yue'er to live, A-Niang has been busy with state affairs for most of her life, and she should be relaxed."

Emperor Wu's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head and said. "If you don't go, A-Niang will definitely drag Yue'er down."

"How can supporting parents be a drag. In the past, it was A-Niang who blessed the safety of Yue'er's family, but now Yue'er is just a return or two, not to mention, how to repay the grace of birth and raising. Shen Mengxi got up, "I'll go to the third brother." ”

Li Xian was quite hesitant, and the officials of the court and China, especially the five kings, were resolutely opposed.

"Third brother, A-Niang is eighty-two years old!"

Li Xian finally made up his mind, and in this way, Emperor Wu took five hundred forbidden troops, three medical officers, and one hundred maidservants to Qingyun Villa.

Yin'er and Jian'er lived in the Crawler Workshop, and Lu'er accompanied Shen Mengxi to live in Qingyun Villa.

Qingyun Villa is red and willow green, Shen Mengxi ordered people to build wheelchairs, every day by the deer to push Emperor Wu around to see the scenery, sometimes organize polo matches, juju games, shuttlecock, skipping rope, a group of children of Li Dan's family also often come to the villa to accompany, Emperor Wu is very happy, the condition is getting better, but, once the body recovers, the first thing she does is to scold Li Xian again,—— and start to worry about imperial state affairs again.

Shen Mengxi sighed deeply, in this world, the only person who can defeat Emperor Wu's will is probably her own body.

Li Xian has been frightened in Fangzhou all the year round, and the psychological pressure is extremely great, and now he is the emperor, and he is forced to come to the palace, and he has been depressed.

The power of the five kings of the previous dynasty is increasing day by day, Li Xian's personality is weak, and he has to follow his father's example and let Empress Wei listen to the government, he now understands his father very much, and he no longer resents his mother. If it weren't for his mother's strength, this Li Tang world would definitely be manipulated and controlled by many families.

Empress Wei and Li Xian spent the most difficult years in Fangzhou, they wanted to be like ordinary couples, they were like ordinary couples, and when he was most hesitant and afraid, Empress Wei encouraged and supported him. Therefore, Li Xian trusts Empress Wei more, and at the same time, he also expects that she can be like her mother, support the government and prevent the power from falling into the hands of the kings of the family.

Empress Wei was initially trembling, but soon showed her political prowess, suggesting that Li Xian make Shangguan Wan'er Zhaoyi and co-adjudicate the government. Her daughter, Princess Anle, also gradually participated in court politics.

Li Xian and Empress Wei, in a desperate situation, chose to join forces with Wu Sansi to jointly fight against the forces of the Five Kings and the family.

It seems that the government and the opposition are calm, but in fact, there is an undercurrent.

At this time, Emperor Wu insisted on returning to Miyagi.

"A-Niang, the jade seal has been handed over, what's the use of returning to the palace?"

"Li Xian is incompetent! I want to go back to the palace! Emperor Wu roared.

Shen Mengxi was dumbfounded.

Three days later, someone came to the palace, and Emperor Wu returned to the palace.

Shen Mengxi looked at Emperor Wu helplessly, but Emperor Wu resolutely didn't look at her.

After Emperor Wu returned to the palace, Shen Mengxi went to ask for peace every ten days, and he didn't see any changes in the government, but he saw that Emperor Wu was aging rapidly, she had the means and scheming, but she didn't have the health of Empress Wei, and Shangguan Wan'er only obeyed Empress Wei's orders.

In October, Emperor Wu asked to change the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty to Empress Gaozong, and asked to be buried with Gaozong after his death.

Shen Mengxi never believed that this was Emperor Wu's original intention.

She went to visit in the palace, and Emperor Wu began to lie in bed again, languishing, and did not say a word.

Another month passed, the footprints of history stepped on that point as scheduled, Emperor Wu died in Shangyang Palace on a winter night, at the age of eighty-two, nicknamed the Great Sage Empress, and was buried with Gaozong and Qianling.

There are two huge stone tablets erected in Qianling, the west side is the holy tablet, it is Emperor Wu who erected for Gaozong, personally wrote more than 5,000 words of inscription, the east side is a stone tablet carved and chiseled by a complete huge stone, the head of the stele is carved with eight dragons, the side of the stele is carved with a soaring dragon, the stele base also has the lion and horse figure carved by the line and the flower and grass ornamentation. But there is not a single word.

This stele was erected at the same time as the stele, she did not have the heart of the emperor at that time, only thinking that she would be buried with Gaozong a hundred years later, and then the stele of her children and grandchildren would be passed on.

What she didn't expect was that this stone tablet, in the end, was really blank and wordless.

Shen Mengxi thought, okay, how can there be any truth in this world, who can really evaluate an emperor fairly and truthfully, let alone the next emperor.

No word is best. In this patriarchal world, it is impossible to give Emperor Wu a fair positioning, and a relatively pertinent evaluation will not be available until more than a thousand years later, and at that time, the truth will pass with time, and there is nowhere to capture, and the so-called pertinence is just speculation.
