Marry Changle in Datang

The two elders of the Mohist School heard that they thought that the Foyingji Kingdom was now Qin Wenyuan's overseas influence, so naturally they would not object to Xu Tian's suggestion.

After everything was arranged properly, Qin Wenyuan smiled and said to Xu Mu.

"My uncle wants my nephew to stay here and work hard for a few years to help my son succeed in building a foundation. My nephew can go back to the Qingfeng Temple to continue practicing. I will thank my nephew for this matter."

When Xu Mu heard this, Ji Shou said respectfully.

"Master's words are serious. I think we are practicing Taoist disciples wherever we are. It is my Taoist fortune that my younger brother can practice my Taoist skills. It can make Taoist thoughts spread overseas. This is also for my uncle to practice Taoism in the world." The virtues of the world."

This Daoist Xu Mu is a person who is obsessed with practice, for him, the whole world is a place for practice, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable being far away from his homeland.

Zhang Dabao was ordered by Qin Wenyuan to go back to the port to prepare for the voyage back to the Tang Dynasty, and Lu Qingyun was ordered to summon the rich and powerful merchants of the Tang Dynasty here to make him a powerful family who wanted to continue maritime business on this route. Choose a place to set up a warehouse in the royal city, and assign stewards who stay here.

……

The day of parting finally came. At the port of the Kingdom, Queen Catherine hugged her son and said goodbye to Qin Wenyuan. The little guy seemed to know that his father was leaving, but he grabbed his father's robe and looked at him with bright eyes. Dad, but he didn't cry or make a fuss, he seemed to be talking again.

"When the kid grows up that day, he will definitely go back to Datang to find relatives!"

Looking at this half-race child carved out of jade, Qin Wenyuan and the other wives felt a little bit reluctant, and hugged the boy in their arms to make out with each other. When it was Lishan's turn to send Senior Sister Taohong, they were held in their arms by this boy. Li grabbed the clothes and didn't let go, the expression on her little face was very affectionate, which made the heart of this childless chivalrous woman soft, and she couldn't help but whispered to Qin Wenyuan and others.

"I want to stay here and watch the child grow up. My husband and all the sisters will take care together."

Seeing Taohong like this, Qin Wenyuan didn't want to say much, but the ladies could understand Taohong's thoughts, thinking that this girl must have seen Qin Xiaolong's young age, and also wanted to taste what it's like to be a mother.

Qin Wenyuan sighed.

"Forget it! Now that the Tang Dynasty has opened up trade with the Buddhist Kingdom, there are frequent ships coming and going. Madam can go home whenever she wants. This kid is also your son. With you here, I feel more at ease as a husband."

The boy in Senior Sister Taohong's arms heard his father's voice, and he didn't know if this year-old boy understood his father's words or what, but suddenly burst out laughing "hehe", it's really incredible.

Queen Catherine was overjoyed to have someone like Tao Hong stay and help her suddenly, and she was relieved of the sense of loss that she was about to part with Xu Tian, ​​and a smile appeared on her face.

After Qin Wenyuan's wives, the elders of the Mo family, craftsmen Li Kuang, Lu Qingyun, etc. bid farewell to those who came to see him off, they boarded the warship one after another in small boats. Qin Wenyuan bowed his hands and bid farewell to many nobles of the kingdom, including the Duke of Ator. Afterwards, the The servant opened his arms to embrace Catherine, Tao Hong and the baby in their arms, and said softly.

"Take care, go for your husband!"

As soon as the words fell, this guy actually turned into a little demon with his thoughts, and flew towards the battleship like a fairy standing on the head of a little demon with his feet on his feet. Most of the people who saw him off saw this scene and worshiped, thinking that they saw the God in their hearts .

After several gunshots, the sea was covered by thousands of sails. Amidst the sound of horns and the shouts of the boatmen, thick smoke rose from the three Datang warships. After three more gunshots, they slowly sailed into the The blue ocean.

……

In the palace of the Tang Dynasty, as Wu Zetian's ability to handle military affairs became stronger and stronger, Li Zhi finally felt very uneasy. Fearing that the imperial power would fall, he thought of abolishing Empress Wu Zetian for the first time.

Princess Taiping has now grown into a slim and charming woman, but her personality has not changed at all. This woman probably inherited the intelligence of her mother Wu Zetian, and she has a close eye on Qin Xiaole, and Xu Xiaole's personality It is very clear to the touch, in the words of the folks.

"As soon as your ass is up, this girl will know whether you want to shit or pee!"

For this clever and savage princess, Qin Xiaole is always helpless. The two have been fighting for years, and they can't let each other go. It is said that it is like a dog sees a sheep.

Perhaps it is the men and women who have such a relationship that are truly a natural pair, a pair made by nature!

Although the relationship between Li Zhi and Wu Zetian was tense, it did not affect Princess Taiping and Qin Xiaole in the slightest. This pair of Bi people should play around, make trouble, and sometimes even go beyond the etiquette behind their backs and hug each other. The flirtatious thing about hugging often makes Princess Taiping smirk while thinking about these intimate actions with Qin Xiaole in the quiet alone, her face is full of charming and charming expressions.

How could Wu Zetian, a woman who had experienced two emperors, not know about the changes in her daughter. Seeing her daughter's heart fluttering, she often called Qin Xiaole into the bedroom, and told the boy not to mess around with her daughter and cross the defense between men and women.

Every time at this time, Qin Xiaole replied with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please keep this in mind. Princess Taiping is my destiny's daughter-in-law. Naturally, I should cherish it in every possible way."

Wu Zetian felt really helpless for this bastard, but it was the mother-in-law who looked at her son-in-law and said happily.

"Get out! My mother has not agreed to betroth Ping'er to you, and I will become your daughter-in-law in no time."

"Hey! Sooner or later, sooner or later."

Ever since Li Zhi ordered Qin Xiaole to secretly execute Li Yifu and break one of Wu Zetian's arms, the relationship between the emperor and queen has gradually become tense.

Wu Zetian knew that the emperor Li Zhi had given her a warning to kill Li Yifu, and she did not take any unusual actions after this incident. This wise woman knew in her heart that she did not have the strength to fight against Li Zhi at the moment. My heart hurts, but I must know how to endure, and look for opportunities to secretly cultivate forces loyal to myself.

Even when she had such a delicate relationship with the emperor, as she participated in and handled politics for a long time, Wu Zetian felt a dangerous signal again, that is, she had already detected that the emperor Li Zhi had abolished her. The idea of ​​a queen.

The reason is that Li Zhi often called Shangguanyi, the new prime minister of the imperial court, for a secret discussion recently, but he tentatively expressed his thoughts about the future. Unexpectedly, Shangguanyi was a man without a chest, because he didn't like Wu Zetian's participation in politics. , this outspoken court official vowed to abolish Wu Zetian's position as empress, causing rumors to spread in the palace, and the relationship between the emperor and empress became even more tense. Many courtiers were in a dilemma, not knowing how to stand in line.

For a while, civil strife broke out in the palace. In order to survive and protect their own interests, most of them made grass on the wall, and the wind and stool poured over there.

Shang Gongyi didn't know that she caused a murder, she was still full of self-esteem, thinking that with the support of the emperor, the queen would do nothing with him, and when the courtiers gathered, they would attack the queen, revealing the inherent Confucian thinking.

"Think about how my Great Tang Empire can let the rooster sit in the morning, wouldn't it mess up the court program and etiquette."

At that time, most of the courtiers of the Tang Empire had Confucianism. These people never cared about whether the hen is good or not. Their inherent thinking made them think that the world is created, and how can the hen replace the rooster? Shouting, this is simply a joke in the world.

It was people with such thoughts who, under the instigation of Shangguanyi, finally formed a force. During the court meeting, there were many memorials accusing the queen of interfering in politics, which made Wu Zetian very angry.

Speaking of it, Wu Zetian's handling of military and political affairs is no worse than Li Zhi's, even comparable to the former emperor Li Shimin's ability to govern, how could he be difficult for Confucian scholars like Shangguanyi with such low-level words.

Adhering to Li Zhi's will, this Shangguanyi often writes with splashes of ink, trying to use the usual tricks of literati to deny Wu Zetian's virtue of a virtuous woman, in order to create momentum and achieve the goal of abolishing the queen.

Wu Zetian has gone through the two dynasties, along the way, how many difficulties and obstacles she has experienced, is she a good character, so that the eyes and ears all over the palace pay close attention to every move of the emperor and Shangguanyi and other ministers of the imperial party. It's all under her control.

Just when Li Zhi thought the time was right and issued an edict to abolish the empress, Wu Zetian had already received a secret report, causing the ministers loyal to her in the court to discuss countermeasures. The momentum of the party officials to show off.

After everything was ready, Wu Zetian had to report the news that the emperor had begun to draft an edict to abolish the empress, and furiously came to the emperor's imperial study, and when she entered the room, she saw the edict of abolishing the empress with wet ink on the table.

Seeing Wu Zetian suddenly barging into the imperial study, Li Zhi was astonished and suddenly lost his momentum.

Wu Zetian didn't care what Li Zhi's expression was at this time, first threw Shangguanyi and others out of the room, and then, with pear blossoms and tears all over his face, he used the trick of crying, making trouble, and hanging himself.

"The concubine has been with the emperor since she worked for the country and her family. It can be said that the emperor is so cruel and wants to dispose of the concubine after he is abolished. Have you ever thought about the kindness of husband and wife? The concubine doesn't want to live anymore, I don't want to live anymore, hope The emperor bestowed a white silk to send the ministers and concubines to go, woo... woo... woo...!"

Li Zhi's ears are soft, how could he see Wu Zetian being so pissed and crying, he couldn't tell each one for a while, so he had no choice but to throw the blame of his desire to be abolished on Shangguanyi.

"The empress is so sad. This is not my idea, but Shangguan Yi and other ministers' performances, saying that they want to maintain the court's guidelines, etiquette, and I have no choice!"

Hearing that the emperor's tone was loose, Wu Zetian was secretly delighted, this woman knew that she should not be too hard on a man, she must be good at coaxing a man with a woman's color and softness, so she stopped crying, but her face was full of pear blossoms and rain, very pitiful Nestled in Li Zhi's arms with a stern expression, whispering softly about their old love.

Li Zhi lacked the decisiveness of the emperor in the end, how could he stand up to Wu Zetian's tenderness? Although Wu Zetian loved power, it was because of himself. If he hadn't allowed her to help with government affairs, what would have happened? today's matter.

Regarding Wu Zetian, in fact, Li Zhi hadn't fully realized that this woman dared to covet the throne at this time, but he didn't expect that once people get attached to power, they will be addicted, and they will be obsessed with the power it brings. taste.

The emperor thought he forgot the cruelty of political struggle, forgot that the first emperor Li Shimin killed his brother to force his father to abdicate for the throne, and forgot that his elder brothers used all means to fight for the heir.

Wu Zetian took Li Zhi as she wished, giving her enough time to expand her power, and laying a solid foundation for her future enthronement as empress.

After the abolishment subsided, it was time to settle accounts after autumn.

In the Lizheng Palace, Wu Zetian summoned his confidant ministers Xu Jingzong and Yang Jixing to discuss in secret, with the intention of getting rid of Shangguanyi and Li Zhi's favored eunuch Wang Fusheng.

At this time, Xu Jingzong relied on the appreciation of the queen, and he was really an extremely human minister in the court. In addition to serving as the prime minister, he was also worshiped as the prince's junior teacher. This old ghost is not only greedy for money, but also lustful. A beautiful concubine, but she never thought that her son, Xu Ang, would have an affair with his favorite concubine in private, making him feel green.

This guy has been scheming since he was appointed as Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty. He wanted to plan to harm others. If he was ranked second in the court, no one would dare to be number one.

Hearing the meaning of the queen, Xu Jingzong pondered for a while, his eyes rolled and he had an idea.

"Empress, I think it is not difficult to put Shangguanyi and Wang Fusheng to death. Thinking about the relationship between the two of them and the deposed prince Li Zhong in the past, there must be correspondence between them. We just need to have someone secretly intercept his correspondence. It is enough to make it fake as evidence that the two conspired with the deposed prince Li Zhong to rebel, then the two will have difficulty in arguing, and they will die without a place to die."

Wu Zetian was overjoyed to hear this, thinking that Shangguanyi had repeatedly confronted me, if you don't get rid of you, how can I win the hatred in my old lady's heart, and Wang Fusheng dared to confuse the emperor, and often told the emperor that it was my palace, what the hell I really don't have enough patience to live, this old lady will make it perfect for you.

Thinking of Li Zhi's personal eunuch now, Wu Zetian secretly hated Li Yi's mansion for being so tiresome, so that the eunuch Rui'an, who was originally staying with the emperor, who was loyal to her eyes and ears, was also implicated by this man and was punished by the emperor's detection. Demoted, let yourself lose the most important eyeliner around the emperor.

The two confidantes in the hall saw that the empress had a bad expression on her face, and they didn't know what the empress was thinking at this time, so they waited silently for a decision, and after a while they heard what the empress said.

"Xu Jingzong's plan fits the palace's intentions. What does Yang Jixing think? If there is no better plan, you will secretly have people intercept the letters between Shang Gongyi, Wang Fusheng and Li Zhong, and carefully design them as evidence of their conspiracy to rebel. Remember to make this evidence so that the courtiers can't have any doubts, you must hit the target, and you must not leave half a way for those who dare to oppose me."

The two took orders, and they went out of the palace to follow the plan.

Shangguanyi once served as a member of the army in the mansion of the abolished prince Li Zhong. Xu Jingzong, Yang Jixing and others wanted to forge the documentary evidence that he conspired with Li Zhong to rebel, but Wang Fusheng had served the prince Li Zhong. After being deposed and demoted to Qianzhou, no one dared to say whether the prince would rebel against him out of hatred, everything seemed so reasonable, it can be seen that Xu Jingzong's poisonous plan really fit perfectly.

After receiving the letters from Shangguanyi, Wang Fusheng and Li Zhong that were designed to plot rebellion, Wu Zetian couldn't stop laughing after reading it, and then ordered Xu Jingzhong and Yang Jixing to impeach the three of them at the court meeting for misdeeds and plotting rebellion.
