Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Back at Prince Yan's Mansion, Shangguan Wan'er locked herself in the room, her pretty face uncertain.

She is an ambitious person and does not want to stay in the boudoir all her life to raise a husband and raise children. She wants to become a queen that everyone looks up to like Wu Zetian.

Of course, this is just an idea and there is no way it can be realized.

Wu Zetian was the daughter-in-law of the Li family. Although she usurped the throne and became emperor, she was still a member of the Li family.

But she is different. In addition to making people laugh, she will not have anyone to support her.

So she put her hope in Fan Xin. As long as this guy became the emperor, she would be the imperial concubine and the next Wu Zetian to ascend the throne with her husband!

"This matter is too important. With Fan Xin's character, he will definitely not break his oath to Wu Zetian. It seems that I can only help him." Shangguan Wan'er said with narrowed eyes.

After making a decision in her heart, Shangguan Wan'er opened the door and walked to Princess Taiping's room.

The seemingly huge power of Prince Yan's Palace is actually in the hands of a few women.

Princess Taiping is the head wife and is in charge of the entire palace's finances, while Yinzhu is in charge of all the bodyguards of the Fan family.

As for her and Princess Taiping, they are jointly responsible for maintaining the palace's connections in various places.

Therefore, if she wants to plot against the Tang Dynasty, she must obtain the support of Princess Taiping.

"Hey, Wan'er, why are you here?" In the room, Princess Taiping asked in surprise while pushing mahjong.

After signaling the maids to go out, Shangguan Wan'er sat at the mahjong table and sighed.

"My sister doesn't know something. This morning, my sister did not go to White Horse Temple to offer incense. Instead, she met someone."

"one person?"

"Yes, Princess Anle's son Wu Jizhi."

Recalling the past, Shangguan Wan'er said with a wry smile: "When Princess Anle and Wu Yanxiu were killed, my sister once looked for him, but it seemed like she had disappeared."

"I didn't expect that he would come out again this time and invite my sister to join in the rebellion."

Princess Taiping was someone who had been involved in palace battles all year round, and she quickly discovered something was wrong.

"Sister, this Wu Jizhi has been missing for too long. Could it be a trap?"

"Probably not. Both Wu Jizhi's parents died at the hands of Li Longji. He should not be a spy of the imperial court."

Seeing that Princess Taiping wanted to talk more, Shangguan Wan'er continued.

"Of course rebellion is not a trivial matter. My sister will know if Wu Jizhi is a spy for the imperial court. Before that, I just ask my sister, do you hate Li Longji?"

"Hate!" Princess Taiping clenched her silver teeth, hatred bursting out of her beautiful eyes.

"If it weren't for Li Longji, how could I have ended up hiding in Prince Yan's Mansion?"

"Go ahead and try. If Wu Jizhi really has no problem, I can help you recruit some former disciples of Prince Yan's Mansion."

Shangguan Wan'er was overjoyed and quickly gave Princess Taiping a blessing.

"Thank you for your support, sister. Once this is done, your husband will ascend to the throne and you will be the new queen!"

After the two reached a cooperation, they discussed the details. In order to test whether Wu Jizhi was a spy for the imperial court, Princess Taiping gave Shangguan Wan'er a blank piece of paper.

There are only a few words on it, "Wu De, General of the Right Jinwu Guard".

"Sister, what are you talking about? Wu De is one of ours?" Shangguan Wan'er looked shocked.

Princess Taiping smiled and said: I didn't expect that Wu De, known as Li Longji's right-hand man, turned out to be Fan Xin's confidant.

“I really didn’t expect it, it’s really unbelievable.”

Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes turned around, stood up and smiled.

"Sister, let's continue playing mahjong. Sister, go see Wu De and prepare for tomorrow's test...

One night passed, Shangguan Wan'er finished washing up early, put on a brand new scholar's robe, and got on a sedan chair to go to White Horse Temple.

According to the agreement, today is the day for her to meet everyone.

When he came to Baima Temple, the host welcomed Shangguan Wan'er into the Zen room as usual. The only difference was that there were a few more people inside.

"Sister Wan'er, you're here. Come on, let me introduce you to a few righteous men with the same aspirations."

Wu Jizhi's face lit up with joy, he stood up from the futon and pointed at the two men in armor.

"These two generals are General Cao Mengde, the general of Zuoying Yangwei Zhonglang, and General Duan Yiwu, the general of Zuoweiwei Zhonglang."

Then he pointed at the white-haired old man: "This is Lord Qin Tianjian Liu Han."

The three people whose names were called stood up and bowed their hands towards Shangguan Wan'er.

"I have always heard that Miss Shangguan is known as the heroine prime minister. It will be even more powerful for us to have the help of you and King Yan to fight against the Tang Dynasty."

Shangguan Wan'er frowned slightly. To be honest, the status of the three people in front of her was indeed high, and they each had their own role in launching the palace coup.

But it's almost impossible to succeed with them.

These guys clearly want to use Fan Xin's power to seize Li Tang's kingdom.

Sensing Shangguan Wan'er's strange expression, Wu Jizhi blushed and coughed.

"Sister Wan'er, don't blame me. You also know that Li Longji has been the emperor for too long. It is too difficult to find someone with strength in a short time."

"But don't worry, Wu will never be greedy for power after avenging his parents. Being a prince is enough."

"Me too."

Looking at the four people who were bowing together, Shangguan Wa'er's face looked much better.

"Since several adults plan to switch to King Yan's command, then I will..."

Before he finished speaking, the door was knocked open with a bang, and a group of guards armed with weapons broke into the Zen room and surrounded several people.

Wu Jizhi and others were so frightened that they all trembled and said with panicked expressions.

"Who are you? How dare you break into the Buddhist Zen room without permission?"

"We're here to catch you!"

The crowd parted, and a general with thick eyebrows and big eyes wearing a cloak walked into the Zen room. His eyes swept across the crowd and finally landed on Wu Jizhi.

"Boy, are you the one who secretly contacted the rebels in an attempt to change the dynasty?"

"Come here, bring them all back to me!"

The Jinwu guards shouted loudly, rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward. In a few moments, they uniformed everyone and took them to the prison.

When Wu Jizhi was imprisoned in the dark prison again, he almost went crazy and shook the railing desperately to express his innocence.

"Boy, it's no use shouting at you here. Tell me, who is behind you?" the jailer said with a sneer.

Naturally, Wu Jizhi would not say anything to a jailer. He could only tell Wu De when he had made up his mind, and no one else could reveal it.

"Okay, you've got the guts! You've got a tough mouth! Brothers, give me a beating!"

Seeing this, the jailer's eyes turned cold, he raised his whip and struck hard.

Soon there were screams in the cell.

In the darkness, Wu De frowned and said: Miss Shangguan is almost ready. If this guy is really a spy, he should be recruited by now.

Seeing that Wu Jizhi was taking in more air than out, Shangguan Wan'er nodded slightly.

"Okay, let's go out and tell him the truth."

Wu Jizhi heard the footsteps and reluctantly opened his eyes. When he saw Wu De coming, he was about to tell the truth when a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in his sight.
