Chapter Thirty-Eight: Empress Wu usurped the throne and replaced Tang with Zhou
After Li Zhi was frightened by Zhu Bajie and others, he was in awe of Tang Seng, not only vacated the Xiangguo Temple where the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was located to Tang Seng, but also asked many talented people to copy and translate Buddhist scriptures for Tang Seng.
Among them, the most famous is the talented Chu Suiliang.
This translation is more than ten years, Sun Wukong and others often wander in Chang'an, and at the beginning, they naturally scared the people to not dare to go to the streets.
Although Sun Wukong and others are vicious, but after learning from Tang Seng, they are actually quite Buddha-like, although they love to joke, but they also have the compassion of Buddhism, and they are slowly getting acquainted with Chang'an.
Li Zhi's health is not good, at the beginning of the succession to the throne was taken away by the eldest grandson Wuji and others, in order to abolish the matter has spent a lot of effort, and after being frightened by Zhu Bajie, his health is getting worse and worse, and he can only hand over some government affairs to Wu Meiniang to deal with.
At first, Li Zhi didn't realize that after most of the government affairs were foiled by Wu Meiniang, Li Zhi was extremely relaxed and happy, and after a few years, Li Zhi suddenly found that the court was already full of a large number of so-called Tianhou Party.
When Li Zhi wanted to take back his rights again, he found that he was already powerless, his body was not good, and he was addicted to alcohol in the past few years, and now he wanted to cheer up, but he found that he did not dare to support his body, and even his energy was seriously insufficient.
Li Zhi wanted to suppress Wu Meiniang over the years, but he couldn't do without Wu Meiniang in dealing with government affairs.
This situation was maintained until the time of Li Zhi's death.
In the Tai Chi Palace, Li Zhi was only in his early fifties, with gray hair, loose skin on his face, and some surging age spots.
"National teacher, Datang is handed over to you."
Li Zhi held Yuan Tiangang's hand with tears.
Yuan Tiangang was still handsome, looking at Li Zhidao expressionlessly:
"Your Majesty, rest assured, with Ben Shuai, Datang will not be destroyed."
Li Zhi was in tears and was about to say something when a small eunuch outside hissed:
"The Queen of Heaven Arrives ......"
Hearing Wu Meiniang's arrival, Li Zhi's body trembled, he didn't dare to say more, turned his head over, and whispered:
"I don't want to see her, let her go."
It's just that it's too late, Wu Meiniang has already strode in, and before coming to the dragon bed, when she saw Li Zhi's appearance, she just sneered and said:
"Your Majesty, I heard that you want the national teacher to kill me?"
Yuan Tiangang just sat quietly on the chair, and although Li Zhi had his back to Wu Meiniang, listening to this aggressive words, his body still shook, and he cried a little:
"No, no, Mei Niang, we have been married for decades, how could I harm you?"
Although Wu Meiniang is in her fifties, she is very well maintained, and she looks like she is only in her early thirties.
"Your Majesty, don't you want to see your concubines now?"
Li Zhi didn't dare to turn around, but said with a crying voice:
"I'm sick, Mei Niang, I..."
Li Zhi didn't speak yet, only heard Wu Meiniang snort coldly.
"Hmph... Li Zhi, you turn me around. ”
Li Zhi shook it, and before he could speak, he was turned over by Wu Meiniang directly.
Seeing Wu Meiniang Li Zhi with tears in the corners of her eyes, she forcibly pulled out a smile on her face and said:
"Mei Niang, I'm sick, what's the matter, can I talk about it when I'm sick?"
The tone was already a little pleading, but Wu Meiniang showed no friendship at all, and took out a holy decree from her big sleeve and said:
"Your Majesty, Li Xian is not filial, he should abolish the crown prince, please use the seal of Your Majesty."
Li Zhi saw Wu Meiniang coming again, his face turned red, showing a strange flush, and after coughing, he said categorically:
"Mei Niang, I said, I am sick, and abolishing the prince is a big deal, and I will discuss it when I am well."
Wu Meiniang said coldly:
"It is precisely because it is a major event that it cannot be delayed, please use the seal of Your Majesty."
After finishing speaking, he handed the Ming Huang Holy Decree to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi didn't answer, just shook his head.
Wu Meiniang looked at Li Zhi's appearance, sneered, said no more, and waved her hand slightly, a little eunuch who followed withdrew from the Taiji Palace, and after a while, she saw a little eunuch running into the Taiji Palace in a panic, and came to Li Zhilong's bed and whispered:
"Your Majesty, hundreds of officials have entered the palace to ask to see you, please abolish the crown prince."
Li Zhiben had already turned around again, and when he heard this, he suddenly turned his head, looked at Wu Meiniang and said:
"Demon woman, you are so vicious, tiger poison does not eat children, Xian'er is also your own child, how can you bear it."
In the face of Li Zhi's questioning, Wu Meiniang didn't deserve to die, but said:
"Your Majesty, please use the seal."
Li Zhi heard Wu Meiniang's indifferent voice and scolded "demon woman". Then his face turned red, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.
Looking at the blood stains splashed on the phoenix robe, Wu Meiniang frowned slightly.
And after Li Zhi spurted out a mouthful of blood, he had already fainted on the dragon bed, and only a little eunuch cried out, "Your Majesty." ”
Wu Meiniang frowned, bent directly from under Li Zhi's bedside, took out a wooden box, opened it, took out the jade seal, and covered it on top of the edict.
After doing this, Wu Meiniang turned around and was about to leave, when she suddenly remembered something and turned her head to look at Yuan Tiangang and said:
"The national teacher knows the current affairs, and the mourning family will not treat the national teacher badly."
Li Zhi is not dead yet, and Wu Meiniang has already claimed to be a mourner.
Yuan Tiangang smiled slightly:
"Niangniang doesn't have to worry too much, Ben Shuai has always been with Niangniang."
Wu Meiniang nodded with satisfaction, and then strode out of the Taiji Palace.
Next.
Li Zhi was seriously ill and in a coma, and the queen of heaven presided over the abolition of the crown prince, and the upright people in the court had long been killed by Wu Meiniang, and the debasement was degraded, and the abolition of the prince was such a big thing, and it was not like a good thing.
Within a few days, Li fell seriously ill and died.
After Wu Meiniang presided over Li Zhi's funeral, she set up the weakest Li Xian as the emperor, and changed the name of the year to the saint, which means that the saint and the queen of heaven are respected.
Li Xian's reign lasted less than two months before he was renamed Wu Zetian's empress dowager.
At the same time, auspicious rui appeared in various parts of the world, and hundreds of officials should be born as saints in the Wu clan. Persuade Wu Zetian to be the emperor.
Wu Zetian did not accept it, and Pei Pei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was ordered to choose a good talent in the clan to succeed him.
As a result, Pei Pei refused to obey the edict on the grounds that the queen of heaven was not the emperor and the world was uneasy.
The hundred officials persuaded him again, but the Empress Wu still did not accept it.
It wasn't until Li Xian, who had been deposed and abdicated, persuaded the Li family clan to go up and persuade him to advance, that Wu Zetian accepted it.
And Yuan Tiangang has been watching coldly, neither supporting nor opposing.
watched Wu Zetian change out of his phoenix robe and put on a yellow robe, worship heaven and earth, and change the country name to Zhou and the year name to the holy calendar.
After that, he claimed to be the reincarnation of Maitreya, and this is to cross the world to go to the West Heaven Bliss, and named Tang Seng who had just finished translating Buddhist scriptures as the holy patriarch, wanting to pull Tang Seng as the living Buddha and confirm his identity as the reincarnation of Maitreya.
But I don't want Tang Seng to be a monk, and now he is about to become a Buddha, but he is also extremely dissatisfied with Wu Zetian's usurpation of the Tang Dynasty. Even Tang Seng is so good-tempered and a little annoyed.
Throw away the translated Buddhist scriptures, and take the apprentices to the west to become Buddhas, and don't bird Wu Zetian at all.
