[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 2416

It was midnight when Li Zhi woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt the breathing of another person on the couch.

It doesn't look like Dalang nor Sanniang...

Is it...

Is it Mei Niang? !

Li Zhi felt a rush of liking, stretched out his hand and groped for a while, and sure enough, he found something...

At the same time, classmate Xiao Wu is having a weird dream.

In the dream, she was dressed in plain drafts, sitting on the high throne of the Taiji Hall, and a huge coffin was parked in the center of the hall, and countless ministers whose faces could not be seen were kneeling and crying in front of the coffin...

She wanted to stand up and go down to look, but she couldn't move.

Her subconscious mind told her that there was someone very important to her in the casket, and she must see him...

Just as Wu Xu was sweating profusely because he couldn't move or speak, all the people in the hall disappeared!

Before she could be surprised, something even weirder happened...

The coffin placed in the center of the hall suddenly shook violently, and then split into eight petals like a lotus blossom.

Inside the coffin lay an old man in a bright yellow dragon robe!

This, this is...

Wu Xu's eyes widened involuntarily.

Looking at the old man from a distance, he looked like His Majesty Li Er, but Wu Xu always felt that the man was clearly Li Xiaojiu!

At the moment when Wu Xu was in a daze, the old man opened his eyes, got up slowly, and walked towards Wu Xu who was sitting on the throne...

What the hell!

This shit is a fake corpse, right? !

Just when Wu Xu was terrified, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her cheek and woke up from the nightmare!

"You, you..." When she opened her eyes, she first saw a magnified face. Wu Xu almost lost her breath, and didn't even bother to slap the hand holding her on her cheek.

"Meiniang, what's wrong with you, did you have a nightmare?" The man in front of him had soft eyebrows and a concerned expression.

"No..." Wu Xu wanted to say 'nothing' subconsciously, but found that her throat was extremely dry, so she held Li Zhi's hand and shook her head at him.

After not seeing Wu Xu for a long time, Li Zhi couldn't help holding her hand tightly, and asked again: "Meiniang, are you okay?"

Wu Xu suddenly noticed something was wrong.

She hurriedly sat up straight and took a closer look, only to find that Li Xiaojiu's eyes were out of focus at all.

"Kuro, what happened to your eyes?!"

The expression on Li Zhi's face froze in an instant, he held Wu Xu's hand tightly, and said softly, "Don't worry, it's just... temporarily invisible..."

"Temporary?! Can't see?!" Hearing this, Wu Xu almost jumped up from the couch like a cat whose fur was blown.

Why didn't Da Lang mention this to her at all?

Li Zhi almost immediately guessed what Wu Xu was thinking, and continued to comfort Wu Xu, "No one knows about this symptom..."

"Only at night..."

Li Zhi's voice became lower and lower, and finally he just looked at Wu Xu anxiously, like a frightened little white rabbit, so that the latter had no choice but to swallow his complaints no matter how much he complained.

Wu Xu sighed secretly, "Who knows about your condition...?"

She didn't believe that this matter could be hidden from everyone, let alone the old fox of the king's servant and the big fox of Li Sanlang.

Li Zhi smiled indifferently: "In the daytime, I am no different from ordinary people, who can see that something is wrong?"

Wu Xu heard the words, and said angrily: "So, you are even hiding it from me?"

Speaking of this, Wu Xu remembered that he wanted to talk to Li Xiaojiu about the 'Zen position', so he said: "That edict was drafted by Li San, right?"

No, but Li Zhi shook his head with a smile and said, "That was indeed drawn up by myself, but..."

"Li San has put in a lot of effort for this matter..."

Those aristocrats who might object were 'killed' by Mr. Li almost immediately, that's why Dongdu issued the edict so smoothly.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu thought unkindly: After this incident, if Li San still wants to marry a woman with an extraordinary family background, he may not succeed!

Wu Xu thought about this, but she also understood that Li Sanlang was probably tricked by Li Xiaojiu again this time...

"You didn't even discuss it with me, and just made a hasty decision like this!" The Zen position is not a trivial matter, and the Li family Gaozu was the Supreme Emperor back then, but it was not so pleasant!

Hearing this, Li Zhi smiled and waved his hands and said, "I've been planning this for a long time... You see, now that the imperial edict is issued, are there any objections from the whole country?"

"Don't be afraid of [-], just in case!" Wu Xu is not as optimistic as Li Zhi, and there is no voice of opposition from the government and the public. This matter itself is weird, okay!

"There is no chance!" Li Zhi's expression suddenly became very solemn, and he said: "I am not Gaozu..."

Emperor Gaozu can be regarded as the founding lord of a generation, but in his later years, he was forced to abdicate with the death of his sons and grandchildren.

But, even so, who would say that Emperor Taizong was not a good emperor?

Even His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, who is justifiably superior, is often compared with His Majesty Li Er.

"The son never speaks of his father's fault..." Li Zhi paused, and said softly, "But you and I both know in our hearts that Dad... did something wrong..."

Li Zhi didn't even dare to think about killing his brother and forcing his father!

"This seat is not a good thing!" Li Zhi patted the child under him, and said sadly: "I can't have today without your help, Ah Wu..."

"I know, Queen of Heaven, it sounds beautiful, but it's actually more tiring than being an empress... As for being an emperor, hehe..." Naturally, it's a hundred times harder!

Li Zhi didn't finish these words, but he knew that Wu Xu would understand.

"I really can't find anyone who can entrust Sheji more than you..."

"..." Wu Xu listened to Li Xiaojiu's emotion in a daze, and didn't know how to respond for a long time.

Indeed, Li Xiaojiu, who has experienced ministers and ministers, would never get more ministers to serve his son.

As for the mother and queen coming to court, it is not uncommon in the history of northern nomadic peoples.

Li Tang's ancestors were not purebred Central Plains people. In the era of His Majesty Li Er, a series of national integration policies were carried out. Although the political thought of Tang Dynasty was still influenced by Han culture and Confucianism, it can be ruled by Li Xiaojiu. In recent years, Confucianism is no longer the only one.

Wu Xu advocated the rule of law, advocated the control of public opinion, and put the government in a position of absolute dominance. These are not casual words.

Now that the whole country has no objection to the Queen's ascension to the throne, one can see the clue - the aristocratic family has been suppressed to death.

In view of Li Xiaojiu's condition is really not optimistic, at the same time, Wu Xu also worried that too many butterfly parts of her would affect Li Xiaojiu's lifespan, so she had to agree to succeed as emperor as soon as possible.

Now that the Empress Dowager had no objections, the ministers of the DPRK and China put all their energy into arguing about the etiquette of the grand ceremony.

This quarrel did not subside slightly until the end of the year.

During this period, the ten surnames Khan Ashina and Li Zhegen rebelled against Shanyu Duhu Mansion in the north and invaded Anxi.Tianhou ordered Pei Xingjian, the governor of the Anxi Protectorate, to be the commander, and led Guo Daifeng (son of Guo Xiaoke, a general in the early Tang Dynasty), Cheng Chubi (son of Cheng Zhijie), Cheng Wuting (son of Cheng Mingzhen) and other young generals to suppress the rebellion.

Pei Xingjian was rich in experience and lived up to his reputation. He attacked quickly, curbed the offensive of the rebels, and wiped out several rebels one by one with various methods of defeating them.

But in this battle, several young generals performed outstandingly. Among them, Cheng Wuting, the son of the veteran Cheng Mingzhen, performed the most eye-catching performance. Only two thousand cavalry raided the main force of the rebel army and captured the rebel leader alive. It can be called the first victory in this battle!

And General Xiao Guo also achieved quite a lot. He shot three enemy generals with three arrows on the battlefield, and was regarded by the army as Xue Rengui's successor. Of course, this statement did not make General Xiao Guo very happy. !

As for Cheng Chubi, the youngest son of Duke Lu's family, his performance was not as good as the first two, but it was still remarkable.

What's more, the northwest was originally the place where Duke Lu was stationed, so General Cheng didn't have to do too well, it was enough to appease the soldiers.

The Queen of Heaven is still quite willing to promote her juniors!

The great victory in the north, and the civil strife in Persia, Pei Xingjian took advantage of the situation to 'assist' the Persian prince who fled to the Tang Dynasty to return to the country to suppress the rebellion...

Datang has added thousands of miles of land in the west.

In December of the tenth year of Xianqing, Tianhou accepted the abdication of Emperor Li Zhi in the eastern capital of Luoyang, ascended the throne as emperor, and was known as Empress Zetian in history.

In the same month, Shanghuang Li Zhi moved to Zhongnanshan Palace, changed Luoyang to "Shendu", which was the living place of the empress, changed Chang'an to "Dragon Capital", and ordered Prince Li Xian to move to Daming Palace as the heir.

Li Yifu, Changsun Quan, Wei Shuyu, Zhang Wenguan and other important officials were added as Dukes of the state, and a descendant of Mengyin.

In addition, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty will be promoted by one rank, and they will be given three days of banquets.

In the following year, it was changed to "Shenlong", and the world was amnesty.

Although the dragon chair has been replaced by a different person, it seems that there is not much change to the military officials of the Korean and Chinese.Wu Xu's style of dealing with affairs is well-known to everyone, and as soon as the queen came to the throne, she sent her confidantes Li Sanlang and Zhang Wenguan back to Chang'an to govern, and even ordered the prince to move into the Daming Palace. heart of love.

In addition, Zhou Guogong Wu Minzhi, who everyone thought would rise because of the queen's position, did not receive any honors, but was only promoted to a higher rank according to the rules. unloaded.

This relieved some ministers who were worried that the queen would reuse her mother's family, and they were more sympathetic to what happened to General Wu.

Her Majesty the Queen is really strict with herself, she must be too harsh on her mother's family!

Everyone couldn't help but wonder whether General Wu accidentally offended the Queen, or...

Before everyone could figure out what was going on, another major event happened in Duke Zhou's mansion. The Duke's wife, Mrs. Yang, passed away suddenly, leaving only an infant son.

Wu Xu, who was far away in Luoyang, was facing Xiao Shunzi who was kneeling in front of him and asked in surprise, "What did you say?!"

Xiao Shunzi took a deep breath, repeated what he had said just now, and said, "Don't dare to lie to the Lord, Yang's death was indeed caused by a knife wound, and it was Da Lang's fault."

"Why did he do this?" Wu Xu really didn't understand why Wu Minzhi wanted to kill Yang Shi at this moment, and he used such a simple and rude method.

Yang's death is not a pity, but beheading his wife for no reason will cast a shadow on Da Lang's future, doesn't he understand?

Or... something happened that she didn't know about?

The author has something to say: all kinds of locks, no matter how you change them, you will be bloody...
