Since Li Dan ascended the throne, he has lived under the deterrence of his mother Empress Wu every day, and he is terrified.

On this day, Li Dan was sitting on the carpet, playing the pipa sadly, Yao Chong came and said: "Your Majesty, the minister Yao Chong has important matters to discuss. ”

As soon as Li Dan saw it, he asked the people around him to go down and put down the pipa.

"Yao Aiqing, what do you have to say to me?" Li Dan asked.

"Your Majesty, now the Queen Mother is powerful, prestigious, and unpredictable. If His Majesty is a little careless, I am afraid that he will end up with the same fate as Li Xian. It is better to retreat as advance, so that the Queen Mother will not be able to find out His Majesty's handle. ”

Li Dan sighed: "My throne was originally given by the queen mother, even if it is passed to the queen mother, I am willing. ”

Yao Chong bowed and said, "Your Majesty, back then, Gou Jian was able to destroy the Wu State by enduring humiliation. Now, the only thing Your Majesty can do is wait. Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty endured for more than ten years to eradicate the power of Yuwen Hu, and hoped that His Majesty would think about it. ”

Li Dan waved his hand and said: "Yao Aiqing, please don't talk nonsense, how can the queen mother be Yuwen Hu." Besides, I don't take it lightly. I decided to ask the queen mother to come to the court tomorrow to weigh the system, and on another day, when Zen is located in the queen mother. ”

Yao Chong smiled and said, "The minister retired." ”

Li Dan waved his hand and continued to play his pipa, his voice cheerful and leisurely.

Yao Chong came to the Empress Wu and bowed: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty really has no intention of murdering the Empress Dowager." ”

"Oh, did he object to the decision of the palace to be in the court?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, the minister didn't say it, but His Majesty took the lead in proposing it, and he wanted to ......"

"What more?"

"To Zen in the Queen Mother."

Empress Wu smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's still Dan'er who has the heart of this palace." ”

The next day, in the court, Li Dan said to the ministers: "Since I succeeded to the throne, I have not had enough experience in handling court affairs, which has led to the unfavorable implementation of many major policies. Today, I decided to ask the Queen Mother to come to the court to weigh the system, and when the major national affairs are undecided, please ask the Queen Mother to decide. ”

None of the ministers objected, and bowed and said, "The emperor is sage." ”

Li Dan had beads of sweat on his head, looked back at Empress Wu, saw his majestic demeanor, and looked at the ministers confidently.

The news soon spread to Yangzhou, and Xu Jingye said angrily after hearing this: "The thief has misled the country, and we will vow to get rid of it." ”

"Brother, I'll listen to your orders."

"But at the moment, we don't have an army, how can we kill the martial queen." Luo Bin Wang said.

"Don't worry, I only need to write a letter and ask one person to come, and I will have an army of 100,000." Wei Siwen said.

"Who?" Xu Jingye asked.

"Supervising the imperial history Xue Zhongzhang, he is Pei Yan's nephew, if he comes to Yangzhou, he can easily take down the governor of Yangzhou, Shi Chen Jingzhi, and replace him with the general, so that he can control Yangzhou."

"Okay, that's what Mr. said." Xu Jingye said happily.

In Chang'an City, Xiang Lu saw the news from Luoyang, and couldn't help sighing: "If you are like this, the southeast will be chaotic." ”

Ling'er also felt that something big would happen, and when she saw that Xiang Lu was sad, she said: "Sima Gongzi, I have a good dragon well here, and I will let someone bring some for Gongzi." ”

"No need, Ling'er." Xiang Lu grabbed Ling'er's hand excitedly, and quickly put it down, Ling'er's face was slightly red, and she felt happy in her heart.

Xiang Lu saw that Ling'er was also mixed in her heart, she was originally interested in Ling'er at the beginning, but after Wenjun tossed and became her husband, the relationship between her and Ling'er became erratic and subtle.

Wen Jun came in from outside the door, worried about Princess Taiping's insistence, and didn't see anything, and said, "Husband, I may have to go to Luoyang for some time, and you will stay at your cousin's house for a while during this time!" ”

Xiang Lu asked, "What are you doing in Luoyang?" I'll be with you. ”

Wen Jun replied arrogantly: "This is my private matter, in short, you will know in the future, Li Ji is in Luoyang, she will take care of me, Fang Zheng, you are not allowed to go to Luoyang." ”

The first time Xiang Lu saw Wenjun so resolute, he had already guessed in his heart that this matter must be unusual.

Ling'er couldn't figure out what Wen Jun was going to Luoyang to do.
