Chapter 207: Crying Spirit
After experiencing these setbacks, Wu Zhaoyi knew that no matter how high she stood or how low her posture was, most of these important ministers of the court who were born in big families would not look down on Zhaoyi, who was born in a poor family and served the emperor.
Wu Zhaoyi also made up his mind completely, since he couldn't solicit it, he would be completely destroyed. So Wu Zhaoyi began to develop his own power, co-opted some officials from poor families in the DPRK and China, and persuaded Li Zhi to promote these poor officials who took refuge in him, so as to give a wake-up call to the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China.
Tell those poor officials who want to get ahead that there is a shortcut to take now, to take refuge in the little emperor and Wu Zhaoyi, and you can be promoted to become rich and prosperous, and the glory is endless.
Wu Zhaoyi's methods are not bad, and it didn't take long to attract a large number of low-level courtiers, all of whom were willing to be used by the little emperor and Wu Zhaoyi.
Li Zhi was inexplicably surprised, he didn't expect that the method used by Wu Zhaoyi to buy horse bones was really useful, but he promoted a minister who was appointed to Wu Zhaoyi in the A book, and so many ministers took refuge in himself and Wu Zhaoyi.
Although he was surprised, he did not show it directly, but swept his gaze to the eldest grandson. The eldest grandson Wuji was naturally unhappy, and united a group of old ministers to resolutely oppose the little emperor to establish Wu Zhaoyi, and once again took Wu Zhaoyi out and humiliated him as much as possible.
In the past, if such a thing happened, it could only be fought by the little emperor himself, after all, the eldest grandson, how powerful he was, who would dare to go against him. But this time it was different, the little emperor only pretended to be silent and silent, and there were already courtiers of his own faction who stood up to scold the eldest grandson Wuji.
It's nothing more than accusing the eldest grandson Wuji of being disrespectful to His Majesty, and His Majesty's establishment is His Majesty's family affair, why do you care? Do you think you're amazing and want to be a king? When a big hat came down, he directly smashed the eldest grandson Wuji into a daze.
Speaking of mouth cannons, these low-level officials can break much more than the old fox, not to mention that these officials are all prepared, with mental calculations or unintentional, Changsun Wuji and others have already lost, but Li Zhi, the little emperor, is still on the opposite side of Changsun and others, and they naturally have no advantage.
This debate made the eldest grandson Wuji and others disgraced, and the little emperor was elated, and issued an order on the spot to confer Wu Zhaoyi as the queen, and these officials who took refuge in Wu Zhaoyi were also promoted one by one according to the size of their merits in the following days.
These officials have been promoted, and they have naturally worked harder for Empress Wu, and they have spared no effort to deal with the eldest grandson Wuji in the court, and the little emperor has a lot smoother than before when he wants to issue any decree, and he has more say in the court.
The eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang have been based in the court for many years, so they will naturally not be easily brought down by these fledgling boys, but they are facing Queen Wu, a woman from a poor family, who served the first emperor and climbed to the throne step by step.
Li Zhi has been like a god since he got the help of Empress Wu by his side, and sometimes he feels that Empress Wu's wisdom is simply not below his father's emperor, and many ways of governing are very similar to his father's emperor, and he is more like his father's son than himself.
Li Zhi has had a headache since he was a child, and his condition will slowly worsen when he is busy with government affairs, and after discovering Empress Wu's amazing talent in handling government affairs, in order to reduce his burden, he often asks Empress Wu to help him review the folds, and always discuss with Empress Wu when he encounters any major matters.
After learning that the review and review is also handled by Empress Wu, those officials who have taken refuge in Empress Wu are more loyal to Empress Wu, and they know that most of the authority of the Tang Dynasty has fallen on this woman from a low background, and their future will also fall on this woman.
Empress Wu hated to humiliate her eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others, so after she ascended to the back position, held power, and had a force in her hands that could compete with them, the first thing she did was to frame these two people and kill them.
Xuan He's eldest grandson and Chu Xiang were buried in the long river of history, and so far, the prestige of Empress Wu was completely established in the court, and all the courtiers were full of awe when they looked at this woman who had climbed to the position of queen in the past.
Now that she is in power, Empress Wu once again visited the Taishi Ling Mansion and gave a heavy gift, hoping to ask Li Chunfeng and Li Xiruo to go out of the mountain to help her. It's a pity that Li Chunfeng and the eldest grandson don't have the same oil and salt, and he can't look down on this woman who slept with Lao Tzu and slept with her son, although she didn't say anything bad, but what she said was really not good.
Li Xiruo sighed deeply, she knew that Empress Wu hated the master from now on, and when the master was alive, maybe she didn't dare to act rashly, after all, such a living immortal character, no one knew what kind of hole cards he had, but after the master died, it was not necessarily.
Li Xiruo sighed and stepped up refining the elixir, if she couldn't refine the elixir in time, then she could only choose to go out of the mountain to assist the empress, in exchange for the peace after the death of her master.
Li Xiruo's talent is beyond doubt, she puts all her thoughts on alchemy, if she puts it on cultivation, her cultivation may be higher than her master who is over half a hundred years old, but she is willing to waste her youth and put all her energy on alchemy.
Master once persuaded her, and Uncle Shi also persuaded her, but she was perfunctory, she said that she liked alchemy and didn't like cultivation. In fact, who likes the boring stuff of alchemy, throughout the ages, but among those who are extremely talented, who does not hurry up their time to practice, alchemy is something that only people who have no hope of cultivation do.
The reason why she gave up her talent, the alchemy day and night, was for her master, for the first and only warmth in her life, she could give up everything in the world, but she couldn't give up her master.
Empress Wu was very angry after being angry with Li Chunfeng, and she didn't understand why this Li Chunfeng couldn't get along with herself everywhere. Isn't it true that a cultivator should be obedient to the heavens? Obviously, he is a man of destiny, why does he just have trouble with himself.
At the beginning, Li Chunfeng revealed her existence and almost took her own life, if she hadn't bitten and didn't admit anything, and later got Li Xiruo's help, her life would have been gone a long time ago, where is there still one person now, above ten thousand people.
Empress Wu's eyes were fierce, just as Li Xiruo had expected. When Li Chunfeng was still alive, when her position was still unstable, she didn't dare to provoke Li Chunfeng at all, a Xuanmen Heavenly Master wanted to kill her, there were too many methods, and even she could let her fall from the clouds without knowing it.
She was secretly thinking in her heart about how to make Li Chunfeng's status slowly decline, so that Li Zhi no longer trusted this person, and how to pull people out and whip the corpse after Li Chunfeng's death.
Li Xiruo was not aware of all this, she was still in retreat and alchemy, and she admired and guarded to the extreme for Empress Wu's behavior of sending rare medicinal materials to herself every month after being humiliated.
She knew that Empress Wu might not hate her master in her heart now, maybe she had the heart to chop people up and feed them to dogs, but this one was able to endure it, and she couldn't help but send medicinal materials to herself, enveloping herself, which shows that this person's heart is really terrifying.
It's just that at this time, Li Xiruo couldn't care about what Empress Wu was thinking, because she found that the master's health was getting worse and worse, and the master himself said that he was probably at the end of his life. This made Li Xiruo panic.
These days, she has found some prescriptions in ancient books, such as rare herbs such as Zhuyan fruit and longevity grass, as long as she can find these herbs, according to the prescriptions in ancient books and her own improved formula, she may be able to refine the elixir of life.
Even if you can't live forever, you should be able to prolong your life. But the master obviously couldn't wait for herself to find these herbs, and as soon as she gritted her teeth, she begged Empress Wu, hoping that Empress Wu could help her find these herbs.
As long as she can help herself find herbs, she will do whatever she wants her to do in the future.
Empress Wu's eyes lit up when she heard this, she had already given up on Li Chunfeng, but she felt that Li Xiruo could save it again. She has been wondering if there is something that can impress her with a person like Li Xiruo.
Now she finally knew the answer, but the answer surprised her, it turned out that the only thing that could move her was her master? As long as she can keep her master, is she willing to go out of the mountain to assist her master's most hated self?
Empress Wu looked at the stubbornness and panic in the eyes of the fairy-like girl, and sighed deeply, she thought that this was a cold person, but she didn't expect that once a cool person was affectionate, he was more affectionate than ordinary people, and he couldn't get out if he was planted in.
Empress Wu agreed to Li Xiruo's request, not only asked Li Zhi to issue an order to help find them, but also let all her forces go out to find those herbs, but unfortunately, they couldn't find those herbs until Li Chunfeng died.
During this period, Li Xiruo used various rare herbs to refine a lot of life-prolonging pills and gave them to Li Chunfeng as a meal, but after eating so many elixirs, Li Chunfeng was stunned and didn't react at all, and he actually wasted so many elixirs.
Li Chunfeng still died according to the number of lifespans arranged for him by the mandate of heaven, perhaps because he had done good deeds and accumulated virtues in his life, or because he had taken too many elixirs, and his body functions were well maintained, and when he died, he slowly closed his eyes as if he usually slept, without any pain.
But Li Xiruo felt that the sky above her head had fallen, she was almost going to go with Li Chunfeng, and the master was gone, what was the point of her life? It's a pity that she tried everything but still couldn't keep the master for another year and a half, she vomited a mouthful of blood in her heart, her eyes were dark, and she cried in front of the spirit.
