Chapter 477: The First Empress of China

"Father. After being silent for about ten seconds, Qin Mubai felt as if he had been silent for more than ten minutes, this atmosphere was really uncomfortable, and in the end, Li Zhi couldn't hold back and took the initiative to speak.

"What do you want to say, child, you are also old, you are no longer the child under your father's knees, you are an adult, and even you are older than your father, so you don't need to say some things, you just know it in your own heart. Li Shimin didn't wait for Li Zhi to speak, and directly interrupted Li Zhi's words.

Li Zhi's eyes were red, and Qin Mubai looked a little embarrassed, wouldn't these two old men want to recognize each other here as a father and son?

But before Li Zhi could say anything, Li Shimin directly turned his gaze to Wu Zetian, Qin Mubai could feel that when Li Shimin shifted his gaze, Wu Zetian felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

"Since you and the young slave called me father, it seems that you are indeed using the young slave, you have come together with him, the relationship between you and the young slave, if it weren't for the fact that the young slave is the last prince I set up, do you know what happened to you?" Li Shimin's tone was flat, but the content of these words made people shudder.

Qin Mubai also felt this way, as far as Li Shimin's words were concerned, Qin Mubai had a chilling feeling in his heart, because these words meant that Li Shimin absolutely knew the relationship between Li Zhi and Wu Zetian at that time, but if you think about it, although the harem is very big, Li Shimin got it unorthodox because of his throne.

Therefore, Li Shimin's life can be said to be very cautious, and Li Shimin's monitoring of intelligence and subordinate ministers is also very perfect, that is to say, it is really unlikely that the fornication between Li Zhi and Wu Zetian can escape Li Shimin's eyes.

But Li Zhi can be said to be Li Shimin's last candidate for the crown prince, so Li Shimin chose to turn a blind eye, otherwise, just like Li Shimin said, Wu Zetian's fate doesn't need to be thought about to know what the result is.

The reason why Li Zhi is the last candidate for the crown prince is not because Li Shimin has such a few sons, but because all the sons that Li Shimin likes were born to Empress Changsun, and Li Shimin's favorite children were also born to Empress Changsun, and he would not choose any other candidate.

Li Shimin's love for Empress Changsun is indeed true, and several children of Empress Changsun and Li Shimin, including Princess Jinyang, who died of illness at the age of 12, are all favored by Li Shimin. Li Chengqian didn't say it, then Li Tai, and then Li Zhi was left by Li Shimin to teach him personally.

Moreover, why didn't Li Shimin make Li Zhi the crown prince because he loved Li Tai and Li Chengqian? Because Li Zhi was kind and would not kill his brother, but Li Chengqian plotted against him, let alone the rebellion, it was unlikely that he would become the crown prince, and if Li Tai ascended the throne, Li Zhi would definitely not live.

Therefore, Li Shimin chose Li Zhi, but even so, Li Shimin was chosen among the sons born to Empress Changsun, so could it be said that Li Shimin's other sons were not more suitable? Of course there were! But Li Shimin would not have chosen them.

Therefore, Li Zhi is the last candidate for the crown prince, and Li Tai can be said to be a little ruthless, so Li Shimin said this to Wu Zetian. Of course, Li Tai is favored by Li Shimin, and he has to clean up after he is spoiled.

According to historical records, Li Shimin later wanted to establish Li Ke, the king of Wu, as the crown prince, but gave up under the persuasion of the eldest grandson Wuji, even if there is such a thing, it can only be said that Li Shimin's heart is not firm, otherwise, the eldest grandson Wuji can persuade Li Shimin?

"My father misunderstood Mei Niang. Li Zhi couldn't help but speak, but he still distinguished Wu Meiniang.

"Misunderstanding? Zhinu, although my father's voice does not dare to say what Mingjun is, but from my Li Tang uprising to the Xuanwumen incident, to my inheritance of the throne, I am afraid that I dare not say how simple it is, I Li Shimin has seen too many people, what kind of people are doing what kind of character, although I dare not say at a glance, but as long as I think about it a little, I can also distinguish between eight and nine. Li Shimin sighed lightly, and then spoke.

"Not to mention anything else, you have always been in the palace, why did she Wu Mei have an affair with you after you became the prince, if you didn't have your status as the prince, would she be like this? And I can see that Wu Meiniang has a supreme talent in politics, to put it mildly, in terms of government and politics, you may not be able to compare with Wu Meiniang. And her eye for the analysis of the government is unmatched, she is afraid that she will be able to guess after I abolish the second prince, and the prince will definitely not be Li Tai. ”

"Or that she is very accurate in her mind of me, and in the same way, it is not difficult to figure out the mind of a child of yours. Li Shimin said lightly.

Qin Mubai was a little embarrassed when he heard it, Nima, these emperors, there is really no ordinary one, since Li Shimin dares to say this, plus Li Shimin knows at most what happened at the moment of his death, that is to say, it is impossible for Li Shimin to know the truth of history with these words, that is, these are the true thoughts in his heart.

And Qin Mubai can also feel Wu Zetian's mood fluctuations, and he doesn't have to think about it to know how much impact Li Shimin's words have on Wu Meiniang.

"Moreover, the reason why I left her Wu Meiniang is actually to leave you a helper, those ministers may not really help you, including your uncle, but at least if Wu Meiniang really relies on you to enter the harem, her interests and you are the same, she will definitely help you analyze the government, if she is not a daughter, she has no problem being the prime minister of a country. Li Shimin added.

As Li Shimin's words were finished, Li Zhi couldn't help but glance back at Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian also raised his head and glanced at Li Zhi.

"Mei Niang, do you love me like the eldest grandmother and my father, or because I am the crown prince and the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Li Zhi couldn't help but ask.

"People are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless? Wu Zetian did not answer directly, but replied with a plausible sentence, how to answer this sentence specifically, then the benevolent will see the benevolent and the wise will see the wise.

Qin Mubai even felt that this sentence should be understood as Wu Zetian's meaning, even if I have no relationship with you, after so many years of getting along, I will have feelings with you.

This kind of explanation, Qin Mubai felt that it was in line with Wu Zetian's life, did Wu Zetian have a true love for anyone? Of course there was, but it was definitely not Li Shimin, nor Li Zhi.

You must know that Wu Zetian can become the queen, in the struggle of the harem, many of them are ruthless, and according to some historical records, Wu Zetian even strangled his daughter directly with his own hands in order to trip the queen at that time, although no specific details were written in another history book, but it was said that he died violently, and he did not say the cause of death.

But a queen who has no heirs and has an unstable foundation, Qin Mubai feels that as long as she doesn't have a hole in her head and is mentally retarded, it is impossible to kill Wu Zetian's daughter when she goes to see Wu Zetian's daughter. Isn't this handing over one's handle to the enemy?

Fools can't, so Wu Zetian's ruthlessness can be imagined, such Wu Zetian, do you think she really loves Li Zhi?

"When I was getting seriously ill in my later years, the government was handled by you, and with your strength, presumably the crown prince Li Xian had no power at all, right? In the end, he basically acted as your puppet?" Li Zhi looked at Wu Zetian with a complicated expression, and then said softly.

Qin Mubai, who was watching this scene, sighed softly, it seems that Li Zhi also knows himself very well This pillow person, although Li Zhi may be relatively gentle, but after all, Li Zhi is also a person who has been an emperor, so Li Zhi's gaze will definitely not be bad, he has already guessed most of what Wu Zetian has done.

It's just that he didn't guess it that crazy, and it was estimated that no one could guess that crazy.

"What?! You asked her to help you deal with the government? instead of letting the crown prince temporarily take over the government? Didn't you cut off this empire in her hands? I shouldn't have kept you if I knew this. Li Shimin next to him was a little shocked, and couldn't help but pat the armrest and said angrily.

"Is Mei Niang like this?" Li Zhi looked at Wu Zetian seriously and said.

Wu Zetian, who was still fluctuating violently at the beginning, suddenly stabilized her mood, she sneered directly, and then supported the armrests with both hands, stood up directly from her position, and said with a faint smile: "In Xia Wucong, I have seen His Majesty Taizong, His Majesty Gaozong, I Wu Cong never regretted it, the system of the Lin Dynasty is nothing, my Wu Cong also ascended the throne as the emperor! The country name is Zhou! What you men do, I Wu Cong can also do! I can also call myself a voice." ”

Wu Zetian, who suddenly broke out, had a momentum that was not weaker than Li Shimin, as if the silent and submissive Wu Zetian just now was fake.

At this moment, Wu Zetian finally has the demeanor of a generation of empresses, I have to say that Wu Zetian at this moment is more like an emperor than Li Zhi, Li Zhi was stunned, and Li Shimin's face changed greatly, staring at Wu Zetian deadly, and then glaring at Li Zhi again.

"Have you really achieved this?" Li Zhi was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Wu Zetian to do something even crazier than he thought.

There are almost no examples of women being emperors in all Chinese dynasties, but Wu Zetian actually did it, and after Li Zhi, the most powerful period of the Tang Dynasty directly changed the court, you can imagine how awesome Wu Zetian is!

"That's good!" Wu Zetian said in a deep voice, her current appearance was the same as just now.

Li Shimin and Li Zhi subconsciously set their eyes on Qin Mubai.

Qin Mubai smiled bitterly, then nodded and said: "Yes, Miss Wu ascended the throne as emperor in the seventh year after the death of His Majesty Gaozong, changed the name of the country to Zhou, and reigned for 15 years! ”

After saying this, Li Shimin's gaze softened a lot, but Li Shimin and Li Zhi still looked at Wu Zetian with a strange gaze.
