The next morning, Ziqiong was about to leave the room and planned to pay tribute to Yang Quting and his wife, and also told the reason why Shang Fang Yingxue came here.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, he heard the knock on the door. When he raised his fairy eyes, he saw that the person outside the door was Shang Fang Yingxue. Then he opened the door and asked her to sit in and asked: Sister is here early in the morning, I wonder what's wrong?
Shang Fang Yingxue was holding a small package in her hand, slowly putting it on several tables, untiing the package, but it was a small box, which was the book of Fang Beimian Tianshu.
Michelle Chiu said: Why did my sister carry such an important thing with me?
Shang Fang Yingxue nodded and said: In order to help Dou'er solve problems and worries, my sister had to bring it with her. Because the Heavenly Book is a spiritual divine object and cannot be lost, and my sister has no ability to protect her, so she wants to leave it to her sister for custody.
Ziqiong smiled and shook her head: This heavenly book is the object of Zhunti Taoist. No one can touch it without Zhunti Taoist permission. Even if it is the Jade Emperor Saint, it is no exception. What's more, it is me, my sister's request. Ziqiong cannot help, but sister doesn't have to worry. I have another good way and will never let the heavenly book be lost.
Shang Fang Yingxue hurriedly asked: What is the method? Please inform me.
Ziqiong said: If I teach you a French, you will always hold the heavenly book in my sister's hands. Even if the heavenly book is stolen, as long as you think of French, no matter who is in the hand of the heavenly book, it will immediately fly back to my sister's hands.
Shang Fang Yingxue was very happy when she heard this
Michelleon taught her French. Shang Fang Yingxue was extremely smart. She only listened to it once or twice and remembered it in her heart.
Ziqiong said: Now my sister is relieved. She just puts the heavenly book as her eyes. Even if she is stolen, she is not afraid of it. In fact, the heavenly book falls into the hands of others. But this person doesn’t know how to use it. It’s just a piece of stone and has no use for everything. So my sister doesn’t have to worry too much. I was about to meet Master Yang and explain to him about my sister. Do you want to go with me?
When Shang Fang Yingxue heard this, her face turned red and she became panicked
After being twisted for half a day, it was difficult to make a decision
Ziqiong saw it and said: My sister is shy and hard to decide. It seems that I'll go alone.
Shang Fang Yingxue blushed and said: This is... I'll bother my sister.
Besides, after Xin Jian and Xiao Que'er were entangled, they returned to their room and had a happy time with Yun'er. Then they hugged Yun'er and slept soundly until the rooster Si Chen and got up in a hurry. Yun'er felt strange and asked: It's just dawn, so let's sleep for a while.
Xin Qian shook his head and said: I won’t sleep anymore. I have to do something big immediately. You don’t have to pay attention to me.
Although Yun'er didn't know what was going on, she saw that he was anxious and had to get up to serve him to wash and dress.
Xin Jian kissed her when he went out and said: You have been struggling for a night last night, so behaved for a while, and when I came back I bought you something delicious
After saying this, he hurried out of the room
At the end of Mao, Xin Jin had arrived in Longqingfang. The servant guarding the gate recognized Xin Jin and let him in without any obstacles.
Xin Jin once lived here for several days, familiar with the paths and soon came to Li Longji's residence
When Li Longji heard Xin Jin's arrival, he looked happy and hurried to the living room. When he saw Xin Jin, he shouted: You kid, you really want to be a damn brother!
Xin Jian smiled and went forward, looking at Li Longji up and down: Brother is still full of energy and spirit, and still better than the past. It seems that the good things are close to Miss Fengying
Li Longji nodded and smiled: I am asking me for my blessings. When will you go back to Chang'an? Why don't you send someone to tell me that I can prepare and welcome me to the world.
Xin Jian laughed and said: You and I have a fight, so I will be spared.
Seeing that he looked happy and had no worries at all, Xin Jian still didn't know the emperor's return to heaven, so he said: Brother, I have something important to tell you, find a place to talk to you.
Seeing that he was talking solemnly, it was not like Xin Jin who was in the past, Li Longji was stunned and said: Go to my study room
After the two entered the study, they sat down. Xin Feng asked: Will the brother meet with Brother Gao these two days?
Li Longji shook his head and was about to ask a question. Xin Feng had already said first: As expected, I'm in the palace these two days, did you find something unusual?
Li Longji said: Hey, brother, how could you know?
Xin Jin said: Don’t ask about this for a while, what abnormalities are seen?
Li Longji said: I still entered the palace yesterday morning, but the palace guards came forward to stop him and could not enter. Outside the palace gate, there were guards, and the emperor's edict was issued, saying that he would not go to the palace for several days, and that all civil and military officials were not allowed to enter the palace for the time being, until another report was made, which was unprecedented. At that time, I felt strange that now my brother suddenly asked this, could he know something?
Xin Jin nodded and said: Yes! I rushed back to Chang'an for this matter. The afternoon before yesterday, the emperor had already... died.
Li Longji was stunned when he heard this: You...you are serious about your words?
Xin Jian said: It's true, even how the emperor died, I know clearly. I said to you that the emperor was poisoned to Queen Wei.
Li Longji opened his eyes wide, as if he didn't believe it, but when he thought of Empress Wei's character, he felt that this was not impossible.
Xin Jian said: Brother, at this moment, there are some things I can’t help but tell you to believe in order to ask me to believe me, so I have to take you to see someone.
Li Longji asked whom he was going to meet? Xin Jin said: You will know in a while, let's set off quickly
The emperor's death, this matter is really extraordinary. Li Longji stopped asking questions and went with Xin Feng.
The two returned to the Yangmen in Guanzhong. It happened that Yang Quting and his wife were in the hall, and they greeted each other for a few greetings. Xin Feng led Li Longji to Linglongxuan. Ziqiong seemed to know that the two would come and had already made an appointment with Shang Fang Yingxue and Yanhua to greet each other outside the opening.
When Li Longji saw Yanhua, he was shocked and turned to him and bowed: I'm paying homage to the lady
Yanhua smiled and said: No need to be polite
Xin Jin said to Li Longji: This is your brother's future wife, her surname is Shangfang, her name is Yingxue, my love fortune is no worse than you
Li Longji was stunned at first, and then smiled: Of course, of course
Then I bow to Shang Fang Yingxue: I have met Shang Fang Girl in Li Longji
Shang Fang Yingxue told Xin Feng that she was already ashamed of shame, and her face turned red and she hurriedly replied to her gift.
Ziqiong said: There is no barrier on the door of Dou'er, please don't blame everyone for coming to my room and then talking.
Li Longji heard that he was about to enter Ziqiong's boudoir, and hesitated for a moment.
Xin Jin touched him gently: Why are you still beating? You don’t want you to go in alone
Li Longji smiled and had to go to Ziqiong's room with him
The four of them entered the room and saw a beautiful woman sitting in the room. When Li Longji saw the woman's appearance, he couldn't help but open his mouth and almost screamed.
But Xin Jin was overjoyed and shouted: Tongxia, you...how did you come
Tongxia smiled and stood up: Can't I come here?
Xin Qian smiled and said: Of course, you came at the right time! I understand, it's Zi Qiong...
Tongxia said: Your mind is indeed very fast. When Ziqiong saw you and the little prince come here, she knew that what you wanted to do is good. It is time for the little prince to know.
Li Longji looked at Yanhua beside him, then looked at Tongxia in front of him, and asked: Why... why did this happen? Two empresses suddenly appeared. I... Isn't I dazzled, what's going on?
Xin Jian smiled and said: Brother, you are not dazzled. The two people in front of you are the empress. The one beside you is Shangguan Wan'er of the past, and the one in front is Shangguan Wan'er of the present.
Li Longji became even more confused. He wanted to ask again, but he didn't know how to speak, so he had to stand quietly.
Ziqiong said: Everyone, please sit down, please, please wait for me to tell you slowly
Everyone sat down, and Ziqiong said slowly: The empress the little prince met before, as Dou'er said, was indeed Shangguan Wan'er, but this one was my junior sister named Tongxia. Tongxia changed her face with disguise technique and transformed into Shangguan Wan'er. She was involved in the palace as her. On the one hand, she was monitoring the actions of Empress Wei and others, and on the other hand, she was to investigate the whereabouts of the monsters in the palace.
Xin Jian heard that Ziqiong didn't want to tell Tongxia's true identity, so he said: Since Tongxia replaced the Empress to the palace, Zhenxiu has been with us. The news of the emperor's death this time was also what Tongxia told me. As far as I know, the palace court has been blocked, and no one can go in and out, which has caused Brother Gao to be unable to leave the palace to contact the old man. Fortunately, Tongxia is very skilled in martial arts and has unique light skills. She has to avoid guarding and entering and leaving the palace. It is so easy to bring out the situation in the palace.
When Li Longji heard this, he finally understood the general idea and nodded: So that's it, how did the emperor die?
Xin Jin then said Tongxia's words again, how Queen Wei obtained poison, how to poison, etc., and told Li Longji in detail in detail.
After hearing this, Li Longji beat up several cases and cursed: What a vicious woman who murdered her husband.
Tongxia said: Empress Wei is eager to concentrate its authority, so she blocked the news of death to the outside world. The 50,000 soldiers transferred from outside are probably coming tomorrow morning. Empress Wei ordered the son-in-law Wei Jie, Wei Guan, Wei Xun, Wei Xuan, General Wei Qi, Wei Bo, Gao Song and others to command the power of soldiers and horses in and out of the palace, and all of them have fallen into the hands of the Wei family. Li Longji asked: Is that witch planning to disclose the news of the emperor's death at that time?
Tongxia said: This is still not sure. Empress Wei is afraid that when the news of his death comes out, King Qiao Li Chongfu will come to fight for his successor. I believe that the funeral will not be announced for the time being before the successor is decided, but I know that tomorrow morning, your father, Princess Xiang and Princess Taiping will be summoned to the palace and intend to discuss the succession to the throne.
Li Longji lowered his head and thought for a moment, and asked: Empress Wei obviously wants to establish her own son, right?
Yanhua shook her head and said: I don't think so. If this happens, Empress Wei will definitely lose her reputation. She said that she covets the country. If I am not wrong, Empress Wei will establish King Wen.
Tongxia smiled and said: The Empress is indeed extremely smart. Compared with the Empress, I am a fake, and the difference is too far.
Li Longji thought: Currently, King Qiao and King Wen are still young and difficult to take charge. Could it be...
Suddenly he slapped his thigh and shouted: Oh! I understand, King Wen is young, and she wants to assist in the administration, so that she can take power.
Tongxia said: That's right, the little prince also thought of it
Then he said: There is something I want to tell the little prince that I have a bad premonition. Queen Wei is likely to deal with the Prince of Xiang and Princess Taiping. As long as she is a surnamed Li, she will not let it go. This must be prevented and she must be prepared.
Yanhua nodded and said: Sister Tongxia is right. Empress Wei and I have been with each other for many years. We have always known her character. If we talk about strategy, she is not very capable. Her only ability is to be cruel and her heart is poisonous. If the Li family is not eliminated for a day, she will never be at ease to protect the Li family. Empress Wei must be eliminated according to my opinion. With this time, she poisons the emperor, and can be said to be famous. If she turns against each other at this time, I believe that many people will participate.
After hearing the two of them, Li Longji was so chilling that all the military power in the world fell into the hands of the Wei family, and the important officials below the prime minister were all the confidants of Empress Wei.
I thought to myself: Just looking at the news of the death of the emperor blocking the emperor, I even hid my father and Princess Taiping. I was going to exclude our Li family. Under such circumstances, it would be impossible to tolerate it anymore. In the end, Guan Wan'er was right. Only by resisting can you survive, and she is the only way to save the Tang Dynasty, which has just recovered for six years.
Ziqiong said: Little Prince, please keep the secret for the time being about the death of the emperor and do not let people know, including your father, Prince Xiang. If there are some clues that Queen Wei sees, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be another heresy. Tongxia is an insider. No matter what Queen Wei does, we will immediately know what the little prince is going to do now. The first is to contact all the righteous men of the anti-Wei Empress, and be prepared so that Empress Wei will not suddenly attack the Li family, catch her off guard and have no time to deal with it.
Li Longji nodded repeatedly: Thank you for your help this time, Longji thank you in advance
Xin Jian laughed and said: You and I have a fight with each other, do you still have to be polite with us? We brothers are in the same way, come together in the water, and go to the palace in the fire, I will notify my brother immediately, don't worry
The next day, Empress Wei summoned the Prime Minister and Princess Taiping into the palace. When Prince Li Dan heard the news of his brother's death, he was extremely sad and could not inform his four sons. He immediately hurried into the palace.
Because Luo Sha Yeji had not yet recovered her skills, she still attached herself to Princess Taiping. At this time, she pretended to be sick and surrounded by guards and maids to the Shenlong Palace. When she saw the emperor's death, she asked cryingly: How could the Fourth Brother go so suddenly? What did the imperial doctor say, was he poisoned?
Several imperial doctors looked at each other, and one of them said: There was no sign of poisoning, it might be a heart attack
Princess Taiping saw that the corpse looked peaceful and clean, and cursed in her heart: This woman is doing a good deed, look at it, I won't let you succeed.
Queen Wei said: The most important thing now is to discuss the choice of successor
Princess Taiping already knew Shangguan Wan'er's identity and asked her intentionally: Wan'er, who do you think is the most suitable person?
Shangguan Wan'er said: The emperor has not yet established a crown prince, I think the prime minister should be succeeded
Princess Taiping secretly praised him and thought to himself: This vixen fruit is not simple
Empress Wei was not willing to let the Prime Minister take over the throne, so he hurriedly said: This is contrary to the law of the ancestors, and it is not appropriate for brothers to preach it.
Princess Taiping said: Whether it is appropriate or not depends on the current situation. Since there is no suitable candidate for the next generation, the third brother is the best choice.
Princess Anle said: The father is not without a royal heir, there are no less than ten men and women, so why do you violate the law of the ancestors? Leave it to the third uncle to take the position
Princess Taiping shook her head and said: There is no need to talk about women when I took over the heirs. My mother spoiled me back then. She wanted me to be the princess, but later she thought it was unreasonable. In the end, she had not given up her thoughts. Among the princes, there were only King Qiao and King Wen. But she was too young and could not do anything about the matter. When it comes to the third brother, she was originally the emperor. If the third brother had not given up his throne automatically, she would probably still be in the throne now. Now she needs someone like the third brother to preside over it, so that she can be appropriate.
This is how I compare Princess Anle, and I am sealing her heart for being the princess.
After hearing this, Princess Anle's heart suddenly became a little cold and speechless
Empress Wei said: Actually, I am also thinking about the country, so I won’t say anything about my son, so as not to let outsiders say that I have selfish intentions, but if I don’t pass the throne to the prince, I will definitely cause trouble.
Princess Taiping said: Now that the prince is young, the third brother will wait for the princes to grow up and return the throne to him. What's wrong with this?
Princess Anle said: In order not to give someone a handle, it will cause trouble, so I will just pass it to King Wen now, and all the ministers will help you. According to me, there will be no chaos.
Empress Wei said: I think so too. At that time, whether it is the third uncle or aunt, including me, I will work together to assist King Wen. I think no one can occupy the Li family's turmoil. I think it will be passed on to King Wen.
Princess Taiping saw that the mother and daughter supported Li Chongmao, and she understood their intentions. She undoubtedly took advantage of his youth and seized power from the side.
I said secretly: It’s the same for everyone to be the emperor. As long as I recover my skills, no one can stop me at that time. Today, I will follow you and the other two.
Now said: Since you are so determined, it will be useless to continue talking, so you can do it as everyone wants
The Prime Minister Li Dan is peaceful and calm, and has no ambition at all. He doesn't want to be the emperor himself, and he is still secretly happy, so he naturally has no objection.
Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er plot to draft a will and make King Wen Li Chongmao the crown prince
Li Chongmao was the youngest son of Zhongzong and was born in the harem. He was sixteen years old at that time and was handed over to King Wei to take charge of political affairs.
After the grass is issued, then the mourning will be held
When Zong Chuke heard that the Prime Minister was involved in politics, he felt that it was inappropriate and knew that it would be difficult for the emperor to be authoritarian. So he said to Empress Wei: The Empress and Prime Minister are in the relationship between the uncle and the uncle and sister-in-law, and the ancient rituals are in the law. The uncle and sister-in-law do not understand the matter. If the court comes to the court, why do you think it is etiquette?
Empress Wei thought about it and sighed: The legacy has been decided, what should I do?
Zong Chuke said: Don't worry, the queen, I have my own concerns
The next day, he worked with hundreds of officials and asked Empress Wei to take charge of the government, dismiss the Prime Minister and the King of the Communist Party to participate in politics, and change his order to become the Prince's Grand Tutor.
The coffin of Zhongzong Li Xian was moved to Taiji Hall. Empress Wei summoned all civil and military officials to officially announce the news of the emperor's death. The year name was Tanglong, and the general amnesty was made
He also named the Prime Minister as the Grand Marshal, changed the title of King Yong Li Shouli to King Bin, and King Shouchun Li Chengqi to King Song to follow the hearts of the people.
Two days later, Prince Li Chongmao officially ascended the throne and respected his mother, Empress Wei, as the Empress Dowager.
The big thing has come to an end. Zong Chuke, Empress Wei and the Wei family began to conspire. Zong Chuke said: If you want to firmly sit in the country, you must be able to follow Empress Wu of that year, otherwise you will inevitably be in chaos.
Queen Wei nodded and said: Let me tell you, what should I do?
Zong Chuke said: I think first of all, Li Chongmao will be removed as soon as possible
Empress Wei frowned and looked embarrassed
When Zong Chuke saw it, he said: If you want to seize the country, you cannot be ruthless. Back then, Empress Wu could even take the initiative to kill his own son, let alone Li Chongmao is neither the queen's own son.
Wei Wen caught it and said: Li Chongmao must be eliminated, otherwise he will be in charge of the government alone in a few years. Then everyone will suffer in vain.
Zong Chuke said: I think it is still not enough except Li Chongmao. If you want to do it, you should do it thoroughly.
Princess Anle said: I thought that the fourth uncle participated in politics before, and I felt a little unslipped. It was because the situation at that time, so I didn’t give in. Now the fourth uncle is only a false reputation and a grand tutor. All the affairs of all the court are controlled by the mother. What are you afraid of?
Zong Chuke shook his head and said: Who is Princess Taiping? She is powerful and has a thick wrist. She strongly recommends that the Prime Minister be the emperor. She must have another meaning in the past. It is not a big deal. I am afraid that she will fight with her swords and guns, but it will be different.
Although Princess Anle is beautiful, she is full of fools and smiled and said: You are too worried, so I don’t dare to do so. Now the power of military power is in the hands of my uncle. Isn’t she afraid?
Zong Chuke sighed: I’ll ask your uncle, if something happens, how many soldiers can he send?
Wei Wen shook his head and said: I only have a sign in my hand, but I don’t have a single confidant. If something really happens, I believe there will be no one to help me, especially those generals, who are not convinced by our Wei family! To be honest, the situation is very serious
Princess Anle was speechless and hurriedly said: What... what should I do?
Zong Chuke said: If you have no worries, you must eliminate the Prime Minister and Princess Taiping, and you must be quick and you cannot bear it anymore.
Empress Wei knew that Shangguan Wan'er was very smart and smart. Seeing that things were so good, she asked her: Wan'er, what do you think?
Shangguan Wan'er said: The prime minister is kind, and the whole world is in his heart. If you want to punish the prime minister, I am afraid that in addition to your own confidant, the old generals may not be willing to take action. Maybe they will leak news. Besides, Princess Taiping is rich and has countless generals. If you act rashly and poke a hornet's nest at any time, the consequences will be unpredictable. In my opinion, if you are not sure, you should think twice and act properly.
Empress Wei also felt it was reasonable, but the person she was most afraid of was Princess Taiping, and she said: That Taiping is not eliminated, it is actually a future trouble Wei Wen. Try to gather people as much as possible to prepare.
Wei Wen nodded and ordered
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, he heard the knock on the door. When he raised his fairy eyes, he saw that the person outside the door was Shang Fang Yingxue. Then he opened the door and asked her to sit in and asked: Sister is here early in the morning, I wonder what's wrong?
Shang Fang Yingxue was holding a small package in her hand, slowly putting it on several tables, untiing the package, but it was a small box, which was the book of Fang Beimian Tianshu.

Shang Fang Yingxue nodded and said: In order to help Dou'er solve problems and worries, my sister had to bring it with her. Because the Heavenly Book is a spiritual divine object and cannot be lost, and my sister has no ability to protect her, so she wants to leave it to her sister for custody.

Shang Fang Yingxue hurriedly asked: What is the method? Please inform me.
Ziqiong said: If I teach you a French, you will always hold the heavenly book in my sister's hands. Even if the heavenly book is stolen, as long as you think of French, no matter who is in the hand of the heavenly book, it will immediately fly back to my sister's hands.
Shang Fang Yingxue was very happy when she heard this

Shang Fang Yingxue told Xin Feng that she was already ashamed of shame, and her face turned red and she hurriedly replied to her gift.

The four of them entered the room and saw a beautiful woman sitting in the room. When Li Longji saw the woman's appearance, he couldn't help but open his mouth and almost screamed.
But Xin Jin was overjoyed and shouted: Tongxia, you...how did you come
Tongxia smiled and stood up: Can't I come here?
Xin Qian smiled and said: Of course, you came at the right time! I understand, it's Zi Qiong...
Tongxia said: Your mind is indeed very fast. When Ziqiong saw you and the little prince come here, she knew that what you wanted to do is good. It is time for the little prince to know.

The news of the emperor's death this time was also what Tongxia told me. As far as I know, the palace court has been blocked, and no one can go in and out, which has caused Brother Gao to be unable to leave the palace to contact the old man. Fortunately, Tongxia is very skilled in martial arts and has unique light skills. She has to avoid guarding and entering and leaving the palace. It is so easy to bring out the situation in the palace.
When Li Longji heard this, he finally understood the general idea and nodded: So that's it, how did the emperor die?
Xin Jin then said Tongxia's words again, how Queen Wei obtained poison, how to poison, etc., and told Li Longji in detail in detail.
After hearing this, Li Longji beat up several cases and cursed: What a vicious woman who murdered her husband.
Tongxia said: Empress Wei is eager to concentrate its authority, so she blocked the news of death to the outside world. The 50,000 soldiers transferred from outside are probably coming tomorrow morning. Empress Wei ordered the son-in-law Wei Jie, Wei Guan, Wei Xun, Wei Xuan, General Wei Qi, Wei Bo, Gao Song and others to command the power of soldiers and horses in and out of the palace, and all of them have fallen into the hands of the Wei family. Li Longji asked: Is that witch planning to disclose the news of the emperor's death at that time?
Tongxia said: This is still not sure. Empress Wei is afraid that when the news of his death comes out, King Qiao Li Chongfu will come to fight for his successor. I believe that the funeral will not be announced for the time being before the successor is decided, but I know that tomorrow morning, your father, Princess Xiang and Princess Taiping will be summoned to the palace and intend to discuss the succession to the throne.
Li Longji lowered his head and thought for a moment, and asked: Empress Wei obviously wants to establish her own son, right?
Yanhua shook her head and said: I don't think so. If this happens, Empress Wei will definitely lose her reputation. She said that she covets the country. If I am not wrong, Empress Wei will establish King Wen.
Tongxia smiled and said: The Empress is indeed extremely smart. Compared with the Empress, I am a fake, and the difference is too far.
Li Longji thought: Currently, King Qiao and King Wen are still young and difficult to take charge. Could it be...
Suddenly he slapped his thigh and shouted: Oh! I understand, King Wen is young, and she wants to assist in the administration, so that she can take power.
Tongxia said: That's right, the little prince also thought of it
Then he said: There is something I want to tell the little prince that I have a bad premonition. Queen Wei is likely to deal with the Prince of Xiang and Princess Taiping. As long as she is a surnamed Li, she will not let it go. This must be prevented and she must be prepared.
Yanhua nodded and said: Sister Tongxia is right. Empress Wei and I have been with each other for many years. We have always known her character. If we talk about strategy, she is not very capable. Her only ability is to be cruel and her heart is poisonous. If the Li family is not eliminated for a day, she will never be at ease to protect the Li family. Empress Wei must be eliminated according to my opinion. With this time, she poisons the emperor, and can be said to be famous. If she turns against each other at this time, I believe that many people will participate.
After hearing the two of them, Li Longji was so chilling that all the military power in the world fell into the hands of the Wei family, and the important officials below the prime minister were all the confidants of Empress Wei.
I thought to myself: Just looking at the news of the death of the emperor blocking the emperor, I even hid my father and Princess Taiping. I was going to exclude our Li family. Under such circumstances, it would be impossible to tolerate it anymore. In the end, Guan Wan'er was right. Only by resisting can you survive, and she is the only way to save the Tang Dynasty, which has just recovered for six years.
Ziqiong said: Little Prince, please keep the secret for the time being about the death of the emperor and do not let people know, including your father, Prince Xiang. If there are some clues that Queen Wei sees, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be another heresy. Tongxia is an insider. No matter what Queen Wei does, we will immediately know what the little prince is going to do now. The first is to contact all the righteous men of the anti-Wei Empress, and be prepared so that Empress Wei will not suddenly attack the Li family, catch her off guard and have no time to deal with it.
Li Longji nodded repeatedly: Thank you for your help this time, Longji thank you in advance
Xin Jian laughed and said: You and I have a fight with each other, do you still have to be polite with us? We brothers are in the same way, come together in the water, and go to the palace in the fire, I will notify my brother immediately, don't worry
The next day, Empress Wei summoned the Prime Minister and Princess Taiping into the palace. When Prince Li Dan heard the news of his brother's death, he was extremely sad and could not inform his four sons. He immediately hurried into the palace.
Because Luo Sha Yeji had not yet recovered her skills, she still attached herself to Princess Taiping. At this time, she pretended to be sick and surrounded by guards and maids to the Shenlong Palace. When she saw the emperor's death, she asked cryingly: How could the Fourth Brother go so suddenly? What did the imperial doctor say, was he poisoned?
Several imperial doctors looked at each other, and one of them said: There was no sign of poisoning, it might be a heart attack
Princess Taiping saw that the corpse looked peaceful and clean, and cursed in her heart: This woman is doing a good deed, look at it, I won't let you succeed.
Queen Wei said: The most important thing now is to discuss the choice of successor
Princess Taiping already knew Shangguan Wan'er's identity and asked her intentionally: Wan'er, who do you think is the most suitable person?
Shangguan Wan'er said: The emperor has not yet established a crown prince, I think the prime minister should be succeeded
Princess Taiping secretly praised him and thought to himself: This vixen fruit is not simple
Empress Wei was not willing to let the Prime Minister take over the throne, so he hurriedly said: This is contrary to the law of the ancestors, and it is not appropriate for brothers to preach it.
Princess Taiping said: Whether it is appropriate or not depends on the current situation. Since there is no suitable candidate for the next generation, the third brother is the best choice.
Princess Anle said: The father is not without a royal heir, there are no less than ten men and women, so why do you violate the law of the ancestors? Leave it to the third uncle to take the position
Princess Taiping shook her head and said: There is no need to talk about women when I took over the heirs. My mother spoiled me back then. She wanted me to be the princess, but later she thought it was unreasonable. In the end, she had not given up her thoughts. Among the princes, there were only King Qiao and King Wen. But she was too young and could not do anything about the matter. When it comes to the third brother, she was originally the emperor. If the third brother had not given up his throne automatically, she would probably still be in the throne now. Now she needs someone like the third brother to preside over it, so that she can be appropriate.
This is how I compare Princess Anle, and I am sealing her heart for being the princess.
After hearing this, Princess Anle's heart suddenly became a little cold and speechless
Empress Wei said: Actually, I am also thinking about the country, so I won’t say anything about my son, so as not to let outsiders say that I have selfish intentions, but if I don’t pass the throne to the prince, I will definitely cause trouble.
Princess Taiping said: Now that the prince is young, the third brother will wait for the princes to grow up and return the throne to him. What's wrong with this?
Princess Anle said: In order not to give someone a handle, it will cause trouble, so I will just pass it to King Wen now, and all the ministers will help you. According to me, there will be no chaos.
Empress Wei said: I think so too. At that time, whether it is the third uncle or aunt, including me, I will work together to assist King Wen. I think no one can occupy the Li family's turmoil. I think it will be passed on to King Wen.
Princess Taiping saw that the mother and daughter supported Li Chongmao, and she understood their intentions. She undoubtedly took advantage of his youth and seized power from the side.
I said secretly: It’s the same for everyone to be the emperor. As long as I recover my skills, no one can stop me at that time. Today, I will follow you and the other two.
Now said: Since you are so determined, it will be useless to continue talking, so you can do it as everyone wants
The Prime Minister Li Dan is peaceful and calm, and has no ambition at all. He doesn't want to be the emperor himself, and he is still secretly happy, so he naturally has no objection.
Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er plot to draft a will and make King Wen Li Chongmao the crown prince
Li Chongmao was the youngest son of Zhongzong and was born in the harem. He was sixteen years old at that time and was handed over to King Wei to take charge of political affairs.
After the grass is issued, then the mourning will be held
When Zong Chuke heard that the Prime Minister was involved in politics, he felt that it was inappropriate and knew that it would be difficult for the emperor to be authoritarian. So he said to Empress Wei: The Empress and Prime Minister are in the relationship between the uncle and the uncle and sister-in-law, and the ancient rituals are in the law. The uncle and sister-in-law do not understand the matter. If the court comes to the court, why do you think it is etiquette?
Empress Wei thought about it and sighed: The legacy has been decided, what should I do?
Zong Chuke said: Don't worry, the queen, I have my own concerns
The next day, he worked with hundreds of officials and asked Empress Wei to take charge of the government, dismiss the Prime Minister and the King of the Communist Party to participate in politics, and change his order to become the Prince's Grand Tutor.
The coffin of Zhongzong Li Xian was moved to Taiji Hall. Empress Wei summoned all civil and military officials to officially announce the news of the emperor's death. The year name was Tanglong, and the general amnesty was made
He also named the Prime Minister as the Grand Marshal, changed the title of King Yong Li Shouli to King Bin, and King Shouchun Li Chengqi to King Song to follow the hearts of the people.
Two days later, Prince Li Chongmao officially ascended the throne and respected his mother, Empress Wei, as the Empress Dowager.
The big thing has come to an end. Zong Chuke, Empress Wei and the Wei family began to conspire. Zong Chuke said: If you want to firmly sit in the country, you must be able to follow Empress Wu of that year, otherwise you will inevitably be in chaos.
Queen Wei nodded and said: Let me tell you, what should I do?
Zong Chuke said: I think first of all, Li Chongmao will be removed as soon as possible
Empress Wei frowned and looked embarrassed
When Zong Chuke saw it, he said: If you want to seize the country, you cannot be ruthless. Back then, Empress Wu could even take the initiative to kill his own son, let alone Li Chongmao is neither the queen's own son.
Wei Wen caught it and said: Li Chongmao must be eliminated, otherwise he will be in charge of the government alone in a few years. Then everyone will suffer in vain.
Zong Chuke said: I think it is still not enough except Li Chongmao. If you want to do it, you should do it thoroughly.
Princess Anle said: I thought that the fourth uncle participated in politics before, and I felt a little unslipped. It was because the situation at that time, so I didn’t give in. Now the fourth uncle is only a false reputation and a grand tutor. All the affairs of all the court are controlled by the mother. What are you afraid of?
Zong Chuke shook his head and said: Who is Princess Taiping? She is powerful and has a thick wrist. She strongly recommends that the Prime Minister be the emperor. She must have another meaning in the past. It is not a big deal. I am afraid that she will fight with her swords and guns, but it will be different.
Although Princess Anle is beautiful, she is full of fools and smiled and said: You are too worried, so I don’t dare to do so. Now the power of military power is in the hands of my uncle. Isn’t she afraid?
Zong Chuke sighed: I’ll ask your uncle, if something happens, how many soldiers can he send?
Wei Wen shook his head and said: I only have a sign in my hand, but I don’t have a single confidant. If something really happens, I believe there will be no one to help me, especially those generals, who are not convinced by our Wei family! To be honest, the situation is very serious
Princess Anle was speechless and hurriedly said: What... what should I do?
Zong Chuke said: If you have no worries, you must eliminate the Prime Minister and Princess Taiping, and you must be quick and you cannot bear it anymore.
Empress Wei knew that Shangguan Wan'er was very smart and smart. Seeing that things were so good, she asked her: Wan'er, what do you think?
Shangguan Wan'er said: The prime minister is kind, and the whole world is in his heart. If you want to punish the prime minister, I am afraid that in addition to your own confidant, the old generals may not be willing to take action. Maybe they will leak news. Besides, Princess Taiping is rich and has countless generals. If you act rashly and poke a hornet's nest at any time, the consequences will be unpredictable. In my opinion, if you are not sure, you should think twice and act properly.
Empress Wei also felt it was reasonable, but the person she was most afraid of was Princess Taiping, and she said: That Taiping is not eliminated, it is actually a future trouble Wei Wen. Try to gather people as much as possible to prepare.
Wei Wen nodded and ordered
