In the palace, Empress Wu looked at Li Zhi who was sick in bed and didn't know what she was thinking, she was used to this, and in the past year, Li was treated more often than when she was good. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Now Li Xian has become her biggest threat, these days Li Zhi's tone has also begun to change, originally Li Zhi was very optimistic about Li Xian, but after his death, there is always someone to inherit the throne. Although Li Zhe has made some improvements under Pei Yan's teaching, and many things have performed well, Li Zhi still can't forget his bad deeds in the past.

"Empress, is there anything wrong with coming this time?" Li Zhi's voice was weak.

"Your Majesty, the concubine came this time to suggest that you seal Zen Songshan"

Gaozong coughed and sat up with the support of Empress Wu. "Why do you want to seal Zen Songshan?"

"Your Majesty, we have already sealed Mount Tai, riding on Your Majesty's body is okay, why don't we seal the five mountains, and pray to the gods from all walks of life, hoping to make Your Majesty's body get better soon" Speaking of this, Empress Wu's tears flowed out "Seeing Your Majesty's body getting haggard day by day, the concubine can't wait to replace it with her body"

"I, I know your mind" Gaozong's voice was weak.

"Second, Your Majesty can also tell the whole world and the first emperor and all the gods that you have worked hard over the years to make the Tang Dynasty prosperous."

Empress Wu's words reached Gaozong's heart, among all the princes who competed for the throne, he was the most inconspicuous one, and he was also the most untalented one, and even Emperor Taizong handed over the throne to him when he had no choice but to do so. But with the help of Empress Wu, he lacked the Tang Dynasty to govern in an orderly manner, even more prosperous than the Taizong period, the more unconfident people want to let others know their great achievements, and they can take a look at the country they govern before they die, and tell his father that he has done what his brothers can't do, although he has not become a generation of heroes like his father, but he is also a rare Ming Jun.

Empress Wu is a very shrewd woman, she completely grasps Li Zhi's psychology and prescribes the right medicine.

"Okay, good, spread my will, set off in half a month, I want to seal Zen Songshan, this matter will annoy the queen!"

A hint of joy crossed the eyes of the Empress Wu, "The concubine should share the worries of His Majesty"

The will has caused an uproar, in fact, people with a discerning eye know that Empress Wu has been in power for 20 years, and Empress Wu and Prince Li Xian will definitely have a fight, and this battle will not be the same as before, and it may even be put on the front. So now both civil officials and military generals are trying to close their homes as much as possible, waiting to get benefits from this battle, most people are still optimistic about Li Xian, after all, he will be the emperor in the name of righteousness, even if the Empress Wu is strong, he is just a queen mother, even if Li Xian chooses to retreat, Li Zhe is twenty-six years old this year, and the Empress Wu is sixty years old, and Li Xian is the one who has the advantage.

"Ruopu, what do you think?" asked Old Li An

"Sir, Tongwen once told me when he was here that he tried his best to promote Li Dan as the crown prince, not only because Li Zhe and Li Xian did not have the talent of the emperor, but also because he was worried that they would not be able to fight the shrewd Empress Wu at all, and Tongwen was even worried that Empress Wu had the ambition to change the dynasty" Ji Ruopu sighed.

"Actually, I don't believe in such a statement very much, the queen is a woman after all, even if he becomes the next Empress Lu, it is impossible to change the dynasty"

"Then what do you think of Feng Chan Songshan this time?"

"Looking through the dynasties, all of them are Feng Chan Taishan, and Feng Chan Song Mountain still belongs to the first time. You are looking at His Majesty's will, the civil and military generals will rush to Luoyang and seal Chan Songshan, but according to the rumors in the palace, he will leave the crown prince and the three prime ministers in Chang'an, except for Pei Zai, who will accompany him are all officials from the Wuhou family, which is a bad signal" Ji Ruopu was a little worried.

"Your Majesty actually left a hand, you see what kind of place Chang'an is, the central area controlled by the Guanlong nobles, the Li Tang royal family is the core of the Guanlong nobles, and it is difficult to make a big move in such a martial queen, so he let the martial queen dominate. "Ang Lee also doesn't believe that a woman can be the emperor.

"Sir, you look at Luoyang, almost most of the new nobles promoted by Empress Wu over the years have gathered in Luoyang, if Your Majesty is in good health, it will be fine, but if Your Majesty is difficult to return, if Empress Wu wants to change the dynasty in Luoyang, the resistance will be much smaller. ”

"Change the dynasty? I'm afraid she won't be able to shake my Li family's country. Datang sent out the army to guard the border, and the remaining sixteen guards, as well as the most elite Beiya forbidden army, were all near Chang'an, and Chang'an was able to display millions of soldiers in a short period of time, and without force, it could not make big waves," Li An said

Ang Lee, who was deeply influenced by Confucianism since childhood, still did not think that a woman could ascend the throne as emperor.

Ji Ruopu remembered what Han Tongwen said at the beginning, and the situation he was most worried about seemed to be gradually emerging.

"Many wise Hongru have never thought about what would happen if Empress Wu ascended the throne as emperor, and they always thought that Empress Wu was at most the next Empress Lu, but according to my understanding of Empress Wu over the years, I think it is inevitable to change the dynasty. ”

"If you really want to follow the conjecture mentioned in the text, maybe Datang will usher in the darkest days" Ji Ruopu was a little worried.

"If Li Xian is allowed to ascend the throne, do you think he will be a good emperor" Li An suddenly asked

Ji Ruopu thought about all the contacts he had with Li Xian before, and compared Li Zhe, who had a bad record, and frowned

"Mr. said back then that the crisis of Datang is not on the outside but on the inside. Among His Majesty's many princes, only the four born to Empress Wu could ascend the throne as emperors, but among the four Li Hong, Li Xian, Li Zhe and Li Dan, Li Hong can be regarded as the best of the time, but he has been sick since childhood and cannot die early for a long time. Li Xian is reckless, and he is not born to Empress Wu, Li Zhe is absurd, Li Dan is young, and any one who ascends the throne cannot protect the Tang Hongtu Society, and the country is long. Especially Li Zhe, even if he is not the king of Xia Wei, he is also the likes of Emperor Hui of Huhai and Jin, coupled with the constant conflicts on the border, the four empires have coveted my Tang Dynasty for many years, if the transfer of the throne is unstable or the prince who is handed over wrongly, the death of the country may be in the mund. ”

"At the beginning, I and several other Wen Sects wanted to weaken the overly powerful Guanlong aristocratic group, and secondly, they took a fancy to the shrewdness of Empress Wu and wanted her to assist His Majesty. In fact, His Majesty doesn't have much talent, and everyone has witnessed the political wisdom of the martial arts over the years, and she has been trying to protect the Tang Dynasty all these years. If Empress Wu wants to ascend the throne, the first thing she will face is the challenge of the world's scholars, unless she kills all the people in the world, she can't stop this long history and the resistance of the people."

"Tongwen also knows that Empress Wu is the one who can stabilize the Tang Dynasty, so he will be willing to be used by Empress Wu?" Ji Ruopu said, Han Tongwen's reputation has always been not very good, when he was in Chang'an, he did not serve His Majesty and the country, but often went in and out of the harem to plan for the queen, which has always been criticized.

Although the plan of the Empress Wu succeeded, it was still difficult to implement, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs plus the palace maids and eunuchs, the team of Feng Chan was 10,000 people. Now that there is a great drought in the Guanzhong area, this time she not only seals Chansong Mountain, but also goes to Luoyang for disaster relief. The drought in the Guanzhong area continues to spread, forcing hundreds of people into bandits, so the road is destined to be unpeaceful, and someone will definitely need to be guarded on the way to Luoyang.

But the four major generals in the army, Wei Chi, are die-hard loyalists of the Li Tang royal family, and so is Li Junxian, if she trespasses the slightest, she will be attacked. Among the four generals, Pei Xingjian has the greatest power, but the relationship with her is also the most stiff, when the queen was abolished, Pei Xingjian clearly stood on the opposite side of the queen of Wu, and after the queen became the queen, he was sent to the side, I didn't expect that he would grow into the first person in the Tang military in more than ten years, and now she is thinking about how to solve a big problem of security. Three of the four generals are now in Chang'an, but Empress Wu is not prepared to take any of them.

"Come on, call Wei Yuanzhong for me"

Empress Wu's cleverness lies in the fact that she knows how to use people, although Wei Yuanzhong is only an eight-rank prosecutor, but this person is very smart. Among the scholars of the North Gate University she formed to fight against the prime minister was Wei Yuanzhong, and his several performances also made Empress Wu feel that he was a person. There was no room for negotiation, Empress Wu directly left the work of the guard to Wei Yuanzhong, and as for how to do Empress Wu, he didn't ask.
