Chapter 20: Wu Sansi Gives Advice
On the other side, when Wu Zetian returned to Chang'an, he immediately summoned Yan Wengu, the capital of Anxi, and ordered Yan Wengu to lead the Anxi army to guard Tongguan.
Wu Zetian also transferred tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to Yan Wengu, hoping that he could guard the Tongguan, the east gate of Chang'an.
Wu Zetian immediately convened and discussed with her the ministers who fled back to Chang'an, the eastern capital was lost, and the puppet emperor Li Dan was lost, which was very unfavorable to Wu Zetian.
Without the trump card of the emperor in her hand, how can she command the world, and who else in the world is willing to obey the edict of her, the queen mother, to rescue Chang'an.
"Tell me, what are you going to do now? The eastern capital is lost, the emperor is lost, what do we use to command the world, and what do we use to crusade against the rebels? ”
Wu Zetian asked loudly.
With this bit of soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, how can he withstand the attack of Li Jing's rebels, if the emperor is still in his hands, it is better to say, in the name of the emperor, some people can be called!
The ministers bowed their heads and said nothing!
Among these ministers, many of them already planned to wait for Li Jing's army to arrive, immediately surrender to Li Jing, become internal responses, and open the gate of Chang'an City for Li Jing.
The nobles have already thought that as long as Li Jing comes back, they will immediately eat pot pulp to welcome the king!
As for Wu Zetian, this vicious old woman is innocent!
Therefore, they didn't hear Wu Zetian's roar, and they didn't intend to give Wu Zetian an idea.
Only a courtier like Lai Junchen, as well as the Wu family, will rack their brains to give advice to Wu Zetian.
They and Wu Zetian are grasshoppers on the same rope, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, if Wu Zetian is finished, they will also be unlucky.
Wu Zetian's nephew, Wu Chenghe, came out of the ranks, holding a wat board and said:
"God Emperor, losing Li Tang's emperor may not be a good thing for us!"
"How?"
Wu Zetian frowned and asked.
"The Emperor of Li Tang has been lost, which proves that the heavens have given up on the Li family, which is a golden opportunity for our Wu clan!"
"Last night, Tang Tongtai, a native of Yongzhou, found a white stone, with eight big characters on it, 'Our Lady is coming, Yongchang Emperor', this is a holy map granted by God, and the minister asked the emperor to be the emperor!"
Wu Chengsi hurriedly knelt down and asked Wu Zetian to be the emperor, the reason why Li Dan was left in the Eastern Capital was that Wu Chengsi was playing ghosts behind his back, without Li Dan, the puppet emperor, Wu Zetian had to be called the emperor even if he didn't want to be the emperor.
But Wu Chenghei ignored that if Wu Zetian called the emperor like this, it would undoubtedly be a rebellion, and seeking power and usurping the throne did not give Li Jing more sufficient reasons.
Wu Zetian's face was pale, how could his martial arts family have an idiot descendant like Wu Chenghe.
Without Li Dan, the emperor's Zen position, she would not be able to justify her as emperor, so Li Jing would have more reason to deal with her, and everyone in the world would fall to Li Jing.
Don't look at the fact that she is now revered as the Holy Mother of God, it is just a chess move for her to become the emperor in the future, and it cannot be compared with the real emperor!
Originally, according to the normal order, the ministers from all over the country offered "auspicious rui", plus some special renderings, and finally the emperor Li Dan came out to ask for the Zen throne to her, and she ascended the throne in half a push.
That is reasonable and justifiable, so that the emperor can reduce the pressure, and the people of the world can accept it, even if it is only superficially acceptable.
Now that there is no Emperor Li Tang in hand, if she rashly becomes the emperor, she will become the target of the world's criticism, and it will make the rebels more arrogant, this kind of thankless work, she will not agree to it no matter what.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the ......"
Without waiting for Wu Zetian to take a look, Wu Chenghe's sworn friend stood up and strongly supported Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne as emperor.
Wu Sansi frowned, he saw that Wu Zetian was already angry to the extreme at this moment, Wu Chengsi was still so eyeless, he couldn't see the seriousness of the matter clearly, and he had to force the palace and let their aunt be the emperor.
This kind of behavior is simply death, how did his martial arts family come out of this idiot?
Wu Sansi drew a clear line with Wu Chengsi in his heart, so as not to be infected by idiots.
At this moment, Wu Chenghei was still silent after Wu Zetian was called the emperor, and he was appointed as the crown prince, and after a hundred years of Wu Zetian, he ascended the throne as the emperor.
"Come on, drag these traitors out and kill them with a rod, and whoever dares to persuade me to be the emperor in the future will be killed!"
"The first emperor entrusted the Tang Dynasty to me, it is a trust in me, how can I covet the Tang Dynasty at this critical juncture, if I do this, a hundred years later, how to see the first emperor?"
Wu Zetian roared angrily and reprimanded!
The guards outside the hall heard Wu Zetian's shout, and immediately ran in and dragged several ministers except Wu Chenghei down.
"The Divine Emperor spares his life!"
"The God Emperor spares his life!"
"Wu Xianggong (Xianggong, an honorific title for the prime minister in ancient times) save me!"
Wu Chengsi was so frightened that he trembled, where did he dare to speak, it was even more impossible to save them.
"Okay, let's continue to discuss, how to deal with Li Jing is the right thing, you all talk about it."
Wu Zetian flicked his sleeves and said.
The Chancellor remained silent.
"Why don't you speak? Don't you talk the most on weekdays? ”
Wu Zetian was very angry when he saw that none of the ministers spoke!
These ministers are really unreliable.
The ministers were still silent!
"Retreat!"
Wu Zetian got up and threw his sleeves away.
The ministers bowed and saluted, and after seeing Wu Zetian leave, they dispersed.
Wu Sansi left the main hall and turned around and walked towards the harem.
At this moment, Wu Zetian was furious in the harem, and a eunuch ran in and said:
"Enlighten the Divine Emperor, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites are still thinking about seeing you!"
Wu Zetian was stunned!
What did Wu Sansi do when he came to see her at this time?
"Xuan!"
The eunuch received the order, turned around and shouted outside the hall: "Xuanwu thinks about seeing you three times!" ”
Wu Sansi walked in and saluted, "Minister, Wu Sansi has seen the God Emperor!"
"What is the matter with you coming to see me?"
Wu Zetian asked.
"The ministers are here to solve the problems of the God Emperor!"
Wu San thought about it.
Wu Zetian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he wondered why Wu Sansi didn't say a word in the court since he had a solution to the problem, and now he came to tell her?
"Tell me your solution first!"
Wu Zetian Dao.
Wu Sansi didn't say it right away, but looked around, Wu Zetian immediately understood, and asked the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting left and right to withdraw, and no one could approach without her permission.
After waiting for the palace maid eunuch to go out, Wu Sansi immediately stepped forward and whispered to Wu Zetian about his plan!
Wu Zetian was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "How sure are you?" ”
"I dare not say that I am 10% sure, but I am still 70% sure."
Wu San thought about it.
"Okay, just do as you say, if this matter is done, I will crown you king and appoint you as prime minister!"
Wu Zetian was overjoyed, if this thing could really be done, then the destruction of the rebels would be just around the corner.
Wu Sansi took the order and left.
