Great Tang princess

Chapter 378 Victory
At the beginning of October, Hainan has been carrying out food experiments since many years ago, and Yu Wenjun, the Minister of Rites, was allowed to go to Lingnan to eat lychees in the name of cooperating with the work.

Di Renjie, who was patrolling the world instead of Tianhou, was promoted to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry, but he hasn't come back yet, so it's just a treat.

However, according to Li Yuechen's estimate, when he really came back, he might be promoted again, and he didn't need to sit in the position of Minister of Industry.

In the recent period, Shangguan Wan'er also asked outside intelligence personnel to start investigating whether the kings had adopted children during Xianheng's reign.

But she also knew in her heart that she couldn't expect these amateur intelligence agents to find any evidence, as long as they could dig out some deeper clues!

As long as the attack on the camp can be determined, Tianhou has a reason to depose them all as ordinary people and put them under house arrest for life.

But the status of the kings is noble, so they can't just do it directly if they don't agree with each other. There must be irrefutable evidence.

If we can't find out about this matter, we can only force them to rebel according to my mother's plan, and then send troops to suppress it!

……

On October [-]th, there are two days left until the Yuan Festival. Li Yuechen plans to go back to the princess mansion for a few days, and it is convenient to go directly to chant scriptures on the day of the festival.

Over the years, Li Yuechen has never forgotten his identity as a Taoist priest. Unless he is going out to fight, he will definitely go to chant scriptures on the first and fifteenth day of the new year.

After asking Xiao He to help clean up, Li Yuechen walked out of the dormitory and stretched.

"Aunt!" A ten-year-old girl suddenly ran over and came to Li Yuechen.

"Oh, it's Shu'er!"

Li Yuechen raised his hand and touched her head: "What's the matter?"

Li Shu, the daughter of Li Lin and the granddaughter of King Wu Li Ke, also came from Hainan.

But to be honest, her father, Li Lin, should be the only one who didn't have any deep hatred for Tianhou.

Because Li Ke was killed by Changsun Wuji, the Queen of Heaven was nothing at that time.On the contrary, after taking the position, he discussed with Li Zhi to restore Li Ke's reputation and title.

Over the years, Li Lin knew that Tianhou liked Xiangrui, so she always sent some novelties over when she was free.

In the food experiment that is being done in Hainan, Tianhou also asked him to help more when he is free.

It can be said that Li Lin is the only one among the current kings who has a good relationship with the Queen of Heaven.

The little girl Li Shu has a cheerful and lively personality. When she first came here, she was quite low-key, but after getting to know her, her true nature was revealed. She always likes to run outside the campus when she is free, and also likes to talk to those who are responsible for protecting them. Soldiers chat.

Usually, when he had nothing to do, he would come out to chat with Li Yuechen and ask her about the legendary things.

Now in the entire campus, except for the sons of the second brother and the fourth brother, she is the most familiar with Li Yuechen.

She asked curiously: "I just heard from those soldiers that my aunt was able to walk on water and fly in the air when fighting against the flood a few years ago, can you teach me?"

"Oh, you said that..."

Li Yuechen thought for a while: "I can't do it now, but if I have a chance to go to the beach in the future, I can teach you."

It's just surfing. It's very simple. Anyway, I plan to go to Qingdao to open a salt farm and try to make MSG in the future. If they are interested in teaching them how to surf, it is not impossible.

"Why do you have to be in the sea?" The little girl tilted her head.

She has lived in Hainan Island since she was a child, and she has never seen anyone who can walk on the sea.

Li Yuechen touched her head: "Okay, you will naturally understand in the future, now you have to study hard!"

Just as he was about to take her back to play with other children and relax, he suddenly saw a eunuch trotting over from the direction of the main entrance of the barracks.

"Your Highness, hurry up at eight...eight hundred miles!" The little eunuch panted, "The Queen of Heaven called His Highness into the palace..."

"understood!"

Li Yuechen agreed, and then asked Li Shu to go back first, while he rode his horse and went straight to the palace.

At the same time, I couldn't help thinking, if there is an emergency military situation at this time, could it be that the kings rebelled directly?It's not that brainless, is it?
Galloping all the way to enter the city, Li Yuechen directly entered the palace from Xuanwu Gate, and trotted all the way to the Hall of Renshou.

Her physical strength was much better than that of the eunuch, and she ran all the way from Xuanwu Gate to Renshou Hall without blushing or panting.

"Aniang, what happened?" Li Yuechen asked as soon as he entered the door.

Today it is rare for Wu Zetian to lie on a rocking chair and drink tea instead of reviewing the memorial.

Seeing her daughter coming in, she turned her head and waved with a smile on her face: "Chen'er is here, it just so happens that the tea is almost ready."

"No..." Li Yuechen was a little dazed, "Aniang, didn't you hurry up by [-] miles just now?"

"Ah, let's take a look too!" Wu Zetian pointed to a piece of paper on the table covered with words.

Picking it up and looking at it, Li Yuechen also relaxed.

It wasn't that the kings rebelled, but that Geng Yunqiang and the others won the battle in the Western Regions, and Tubo directly raised the white flag to surrender, and now they are preparing to pack up their things and return in triumph.

"Huh..." I was relieved seeing this, it's not just that the kings rebelled.

Otherwise, Qianniuwei is not here now, and if they really want to rebel at this time, they can only take the backward army of this era to fight.

Fortunately, the war in the Western Regions is over, and they will be back around the end of the year, which can be regarded as reassuring for her.

Seeing her relieved, Wu Zetian suddenly laughed: "Why? Hearing that Babaili hastened, you think someone is rebelling?"

"Well," Li Yuechen nodded, "Thinking about it, it shouldn't be possible. After all, I haven't received any news yet..."

The assassins sent to assassinate the young royals in the camp were all dead, and the people behind them should have guessed that the mission failed.

In this case, it is impossible to rebel.

Wu Zetian smiled and waved to Zhang Chengxin: "Go and get two cans."

Then he picked up the teacup and took a sip: "At the beginning, your grandfather told me that he had the idea of ​​building a bright hall, and I planned to realize it."

"Well, Auntie can build it if she wants to." Li Yuechen has no objection.

Although I really wanted to tell her that the spectacle was wronging the country, but in a sense, this should help her ascend the throne.

Even though she has controlled the court now, she still lacks some opportunities to ascend the throne and sit on the dragon chair.

Li Yuechen couldn't tell when this time was, so he could only listen to his mother.

After a while, the canned food was brought, and the mother and daughter chatted while eating.

"Chen'er thinks that if a woman wants to ascend the throne, what should she pay attention to?"

Li Yuechen thought for a while, and replied with some uncertainty: "If it was me, I would control the two capitals first. If there are still troops, Taiyuan Mansion and Jiangnan will also..."

Today's Li Yuechen can barely be regarded as a military strategist, so when thinking about problems, he should start from this aspect first.

When a woman ascends the throne, the worst result is that there will be rebellions everywhere. In this case, as long as you control important places in the country first, you can slowly find a way to deal with the rebels.

Wu Zetian nodded lightly: "That's a good point, but is there any way to prevent them from rebelling?"

"Orthodoxy?" Li Yuechen asked with some uncertainty.

Why did many people rebel in the name of the Qing emperor or Qin Wang at the beginning?
Because people in this country have always liked the losers who are like tragic heroes and the winners who retaliate with kindness.

This is why even if the rebellion succeeds, it is best not to proclaim the emperor immediately.

Because reputation is important, all actions must have sufficient legitimacy.

The so-called orthodoxy is to seek the support of the majority.

Rebellion by one person is treason!
Ten people rebelled, they are rebels!

100 people rebelled, it was the rebels!

But if there are one thousand, ten thousand, or even one hundred million supporters, it is called justice!
Or... legitimacy!
Wu Zetian tasted the canned food in his mouth, nodded slightly, with an expression of admiration on his face: "It seems that it is somewhat useful to let you listen to the government in the court since childhood."

"Aniang, is this praising me!" Li Yuechen asked with drooping eyelids.

"Naturally!" Wu Zetian smiled and put down the spoon, "Then do you know what to do next?"

Li Yuechen nodded: "I probably know."

……

Two days later, the next Yuan Festival.

Li Yuechen put on his Taoist robe early to chant scriptures and finished his work.

The latest issue of the newspaper also announced the news that the Western Regions had won another battle, but it did not trigger much discussion.

Isn't it normal for the princess' army to win the battle?If it doesn't win, it's worth discussing.

But at noon, when Li Yuechen came out of the Taoist temple, he saw Shangguan Wan'er trotting over.

He said excitedly, "Your Highness, it's time to fight!"

"Ah?" Li Yuechen was taken aback, "Who is fighting?"

Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said: "In the hall today, Pei Huaiyi quarreled with many ministers, and then the two sides started fighting."

"Is there a fight in the hall?" Li Yuechen felt a little unbelievable.This kind of thing has not happened in many years.

If I had known earlier, I should have asked Lao Jun for leave today and then went to the hall to have a look... Li Yuechen couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"Why did you do it?" Li Yuechen asked as the two walked out.

Shangguan Wan'er explained: "The Empress Dowager wants to build a Mingtang, but many ministers object. Pei Huaiyi said that the Empress Dowager is qualified, and the ministers asked why, and he replied that the Empress Dowager is a clone of Empress Nuwa, the mother of the human race..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly laughed: "I always feel that there are many similarities with the story written by His Highness."

Li Yuechen almost laughed, but he held back immediately: "Cough, how did you solve it in the end?"

"It's not resolved. They stopped before they finished fighting." Shangguan Wan'er seemed to be immersed in what happened just now, and kept covering her mouth with a smile. Discuss again."

Well, it goes without saying that this must have been instigated by my mother.

It seems that my mother has already planned to officially start building momentum.

Li Yuechen thought for a while, then suddenly laughed.

Mom is a Buddhist, and now she plans to believe in Nuwa...

Although it's normal, even the most normal things can't be said to be normal on Tianhou.

　It's too late today, I only have [-] words, I'll try my best to make up this afternoon... Thank you for your support!
