Li Xian can be said to be the smartest of the children born to Empress Wu, the most like one of her sons, but this son is ambitious.

He felt that his mother was too capable, not only capable, but also in good health, if he had always been the crown prince, it would be enough to wait for his parents to die and succeed to the throne.

It's not, he will be the emperor after his father's death, he will be the emperor but he can't be the master, and then he will be pressed on the head by the queen mother, everything is the queen mother's decision, and he will never tolerate it.

It is said that there is no father and son in the heavenly family, and this is true. In the royal family, even father and son are mostly opposite, not to mention the queen mother who is not justified in his heart.

The children and grandchildren of the old Li family are born with the potential to rebel, look at Li Shimin who changed in Xuanwumen, not to mention Li Chengqian, the eldest son who rebelled and was shot to death by Li Shimin, Li Ke, who rebelled and was killed by the eldest grandson Wuji, etc.

I don't know how many of Li Shimin's sons rebelled, all of them were fathers, sons and brothers, so the old Li family really had a bit of rebellious genetic attributes in their bloodline, so they all thought about how to rebel.

Although Li Xian is smart and capable, he lives up to his good name, but he doesn't have any feelings for Queen Wu's mother, and he is bent on how to get his mother down, so as to take back the power in his mother's hands and take power smoothly after his father's death.

Since Li Xian was made the crown prince, he changed his low-key style in the past, and began to win over the ministers and win the hearts of the people, and there was no conflict with Empress Wu on the surface, nor did he express any dissatisfaction with Empress Wu's power, but he was stunned to let the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty know that he was the opposite of Empress Wu.

This ability is really amazing, you can attack and retreat. If Empress Wu asks for guilt, he can infer that someone framed them to drive a wedge between their mother and son, and he has never had any dissatisfaction with his mother. If the Chinese Wu wants to find trouble with Empress Wu, he can express his approval on his side, but there are rumors that he is opposed to his mother.

Li Xian was very happy in the court, but Empress Wu began to be wary of this son, Empress Wu has come to this point step by step, and almost all her relatives are almost dead, especially after watching her own son die, she looks at family affection more and more lightly.

She also thoroughly understood what it means to have no father and son in the heavenly family, and when she arrives at the royal family, she can abandon anything for the sake of power and wealth, and what is family affection? So this time, when she knew that her son had no filial piety to herself, and she wanted to deal with herself, she was not as sad as before.

Maybe after going through more, it is not as sad as before, how many years has Empress Wu been in business, is it so easy for Li Xian to seize power? Li Xian can eat well in the court, which is nothing more than taking the name of the orthodoxy of the Li family.

But how did Queen Wu snatch the power from those old foxes back then, and after so many years of business, where are these old old-fashioned opponents who support the Li family, Li Xian is still inferior to his mother after all his efforts.

Poor Li Xian dreamed that when he sat on the throne, he could be in power alone, and he would not be pressed on his head by his mother, but he only ended up on the throne of the crown prince all his life, and he was not able to sit on the throne until he died.

When Empress Wu asked Li Xiruo to let her help deal with Li Xian, Li Xiruo didn't say anything at all, unlike Li Hong's benevolence, Li Xian dealt with his own mother for the sake of power, Li Xiruo really didn't have a good impression of him, and after a few bad luck charms, Li Xian's bottom leaked.

At this time, Li Zhi also saw that his sons were all waste, and if there was no support from Empress Wu, it was not known who would be the family of Li Tang. He accepted his fate, and his attitude towards Empress Wu gradually eased.

When it came to the last journey of his life, he also figured out that Queen Wu did not give birth to an heir with others, and in the future, the prince will be established, and the people who will ascend the throne will be his own sons, and having such a strong queen mother can also be said to have advantages and disadvantages.

The favorable place is naturally that there is such a queen mother, and no one can overthrow Li Tang's dynasty, oust his son from the throne, or take away his son's rights. The disadvantage is that the power in the hands of his son will be divided by Empress Wu.

It's better to be taken away by your own mother than by those powerful ministers in the court, and your own son will not suffer too much loss. As for Empress Wu succeeding to the throne as emperor herself, I'm sorry, Li Zhi didn't have that idea in his mind at all.

Throughout the ages, when did you hear that a woman could be an emperor? During the Han Dynasty, how much power did Lu Pheasant have? is still from a big family, Han Xin and the others were killed by her, and no one dared to resist her until she died.

Isn't it a queen in the end? No matter how much power the queen has, she is just a queen, this is the consensus of everyone.

Li Zhi's attitude towards Empress Wu eased, but there was a scene of the emperor and queen being together, which made many people rest thinking of provoking the relationship between the two, and the officials of Empress Wu's line expressed great joy about such a development.

Li Xiruo knew that the future road of Empress Wu had been smooth here, and she was about to succeed to the throne and become the unprecedented empress with one kick in the door, watching Wu Meiniang step by step from the talent of the first emperor to today, Li Xiruo knew how much bitterness she had experienced, and couldn't help but sigh.

This empress is really not something that ordinary people can do, if she changes others, she can live until now, and she is really a person with a strong mind who can persist until now.

After Li Zhi's death, Empress Wu called the Queen Mother, and the third son Li Xian ascended the throne as the emperor, and Li Xian was obviously a waste compared to the two brothers, and the throne was abolished by the Empress Dowager Wu for a long time, and the fourth son Li Dan was replaced as the emperor.

Seeing that the crown prince emperor changed one after another, Li Xiruo was dumbfounded, can it be said that the future Empress is really a cow? After giving birth to so many sons, the heirs were not satisfied, so they directly changed and changed one after another.

It's a pity that the future empress gave birth to so many children and none of them satisfied her, after deposing the second emperor of Xiandan successively, the Empress Dowager Wu finally decided to re-establish herself as the emperor, but as soon as she came out with this idea, the entire court exploded.

For a time, there were many people in the world who scolded the Empress Dowager Wu, and there were even people who rebelled in addition to the Empress Dowager Wu, who meant to be a demon in the country, but unfortunately since the Empress Dowager Wu wanted to be called the emperor, she was naturally well prepared, and after a large number of bloody suppressions, the voice of opposition gradually disappeared.

Empress Dowager Wu changed the name of the country to Zhou, established herself as the emperor, and finally became the only empress in history.

After the empress called the emperor, she relied on Li Xiruo very much, her husband died, abolished her two sons, and her mother also had a lot of resentment against her because of her sister's niece, and her two brothers were cut by herself, and now she is really alone.

The only thing that can still make her feel close is Li Xiruo and her pampered daughter Princess Taiping.

Li Xiruo made great contributions when Wu Zetian was proclaimed emperor, usually light and cold, and Lord Taishi Ling, who was not stained with dust, fought with Confucianism in the court, and was stunned to look at the faces of others, and he could count out what he had done in his life without virtue.

The ministers who listened to it had a cold sweat on their backs, Li Xiruo no minister dared to stand up after scolding five people in a row, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, which minister dared to stand up and say that I am not greedy in my life, I have not done anything wrong, and I don't have any black history?

There is really no one who dares to say so justifiably, looking at the five officials who have been shaken off the black history, two of them are stunned and feel that they have no face to see people anymore, and they kill themselves on the spot. Think about that fate, and which one is tired and crooked, and stands up to find death.

At that time, Li Xiruo stood in the court in a white robe, and said: "You don't dare to stand up and say that you are worthy of your heart, what qualifications do you have to accuse others?" ”

Li Xiruo's image is so engraved in everyone's hearts, everyone knows that Li Xiruo is not easy to mess with, and you can see through your life at a glance, such skills are too terrible, the empress has such a person by her side to assist, who can move her at all?

This is also the reason why the empress greatly offered Li Xiruo as an ancestor, it is really Li Xiruo's deterrent power is too great, if there is no Li Xiruo's tongue battle group Confucianism, maybe her empress road will be a little more tortuous.

Those who have their own ghosts, and who are anti-empress, even hid when they heard Li Xiruo's name, and didn't dare to show their faces in front of Li Xiruo, and everyone didn't dare to raise their heads and show their faces when they saw her.

Li Xiruo recalled the past, and felt a pain in her heart, during that time, the master had just passed away, and although she was forced to assist the empress, she did recognize the empress in the end, and she really regarded her as a confidant and friend.

At that time, she had a good friend by her side, and after the death of the empress, she moved Tai Shiling's mansion to the mountains, and closed her door all day long, only alchemy and medicine, and did not ask about the world, and later Li Longji and other emperors did not dare to come to her trouble because of her murderous reputation.

She also gradually withdrew from the eyes of the world, and only avoided the mountains of the world. But that time was also the loneliest time for her, hundreds of years of loneliness are not for everyone to endure, it seems that she has lived many more years, but if she can, who wants to choose to live alone so lonely?

Sometimes she even thinks about dying early, but when she reaches the end of her life, she is anxious again, remembering that she has received so much favor from her master, she has not passed on the mantle of her master, and let her mantle be broken in herself.

Then when she went underground, how could she still have the face to see the master, and then she borrowed the corpse to return her soul. It's just that what she didn't expect was that borrowing the corpse to resurrect her soul made her feel the warmth of home again.

Li Xiruo is not a person who gives her heart easily, it is the warmth of the Yao family that makes her gradually recognize these family members, but now, those families who let her approve ruin this family in life and ruin the warmth she finally longed for.

She suddenly understood her sudden sad appearance when Wu Shunniang betrayed Queen Wu.
