Great Tang princess

Chapter 383 Holy Mother God Emperor
On the way back to the palace, Li Yuechen probably understood what happened.

A servant of the Ministry of Rites fished out a piece of white jade from the river, and told his immediate boss Wu Chengsi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and then the stone was dedicated to the Queen of Heaven.

Originally, a piece of ordinary white jade would not have cost such a lot of trouble. White jade is not worth much, and there are as many as there are in the palace.

However, this stone is different, because this stone has eight characters: Our Lady Comes, Yongchang Emperor!

Li Yuechen entered the palace while listening, and couldn't help but almost burst out laughing. Isn't this auspicious man-made style a bit too heavy?
When you come to the Hall of Renshou, you can see the stone in the middle at a glance. It is about one foot long and wide, and the front is smooth and flat. The eight characters are engraved on this surface.

Take a closer look, good guy, the engraving is still in seal script, it looks as if it really existed many years ago.

In this era, seal script and italic script are like traditional and simplified characters more than a thousand years later. They are generally not used, but they are basically recognized.

Kneeling down and reaching out to touch it, Li Yuechen raised his head and said with a smile, "Mother, this notch is still very new!"

Originally, Li Yuechen didn't understand these things, but when he was free and chatted with the academicians of the Academy of Engineering, he could also learn something unintentionally.

At least she can still tell how new and old the scratch is.

Wu Zetian, who was originally sitting behind the desk with a serious face, burst out laughing suddenly: "It doesn't matter, as long as the effect is achieved!"

Li Yuechen came to her and sat down: "I just said that this matter is strange, it really was ordered by Auntie!"

"No matter what, the signal has been sent out, and no one can stop it." Wu Zetian smiled lightly and shook his head, "The only thing we can do now is to secretly contact the kings to rebel."

Li Yuechen frowned and thought for a while: "I guess it will be soon, wait for a while, the child will be able to invest in the investigation after training the hidden guards."

"No problem, no rush!" Wu Zetian waved her hands lightly, as if she didn't care at all.

Normally, if someone finds signs of rebellion, he should take immediate action.

But now that her daughter's army is here, she doesn't worry about the war at all. Instead, she wants to take a long line to catch big fish and catch them all!
After all, now that we have the confidence to control the overall situation, there is no need to dig one by one. It will be easier to wait for them all to come out and do it all at once.

Li Yuechen understood what her mother meant, and agreed with such an idea. After all, they could solve all the problems at once, so why separate them one by one?

"As soon as this stone comes out, besides publicizing it in the newspaper, what will Auntie do?" Li Yuechen asked curiously.

"Sacrificing Luoshui, this stone seals the treasure map. How about setting up a Luoshui temple and banning shrimp fishing..." Wu Zetian muttered to himself.

Li Yuechen immediately interrupted: "Aniang, other things are easy to talk about, but banning fishing and shrimp is too much, and the common people have nothing to eat."

"Hasn't the grain output increased?" Wu Zetian frowned.

"It's not the same..." Li Yuechen shook his head and explained, "If you always eat rice noodles, people will have problems. You should eat fish and shrimp. What's more, if you don't eat it, once it becomes a flood, it will be more troublesome to deal with it later!"

Seeing his mother frowning and thinking, Li Yuechen continued: "Besides, Auntie doesn't have to be a living Buddha, so why not just obediently be a clone of Empress Nuwa? Why bother to do such a thing that is full of public grievances?"

"Okay, then this matter is according to what Chen'er said!" Wu Zetian nodded, without insisting, and said instead, "However, an obvious signal is needed."

Li Yuechen was a little puzzled: "How do you say that?"

"I'm planning to give myself a title for my mother, does Chen'er have any suggestions?" Wu Zetian asked.

"Forehead……"

Li Yuechen felt a little goosebumps the moment he heard this sentence. Judging from his mother's personality as a secondary school student, the title on her must be extremely secondary school, so it's better not to participate.

"I'm not good at picking names for children, so I'll let you do it yourself!" Li Yuechen laughed dryly.

……

In the newspaper on the first day of March, there was an explosive news!

The stone fished out of Luoshui was sealed as a treasure map, and a Luoshui temple was built at the same time.

The most important thing is that the Queen of Heaven will be honored as the Holy Mother God Emperor!This is almost completely disclosing one's purpose!
At this point, not to mention the ministers of the court, even ordinary scholars can basically see that the purpose of the Queen of Heaven is the dragon chair!
And Li Yuechen's first reaction when he received the news was shock.

Good my ancestor!This second degree is simply off the charts!

However, I can also understand that in this era, there is nothing wrong with secondary school, and it may be easier to do certain things.

Since it has already been published in the newspaper, it means that the result must be a certainty, and I don't know how many rounds of confrontations my mother had with those ministers in the court to reach this point.

In the following days, Li Yuechen's life became quite regular.

From Monday to Friday, I stare at the training in the barracks and give lessons to the children.She lives in the Princess Mansion on Saturdays and Sundays, playing with her sister-in-law and Shangguan Wan'er.

On the point of family relationship, Li Yuechen's thinking is actually biased toward the West.

Even after more than a thousand years in this land, there is still more emphasis on filial piety and respect for the elderly. In addition, the social environment does not advocate family-oriented.

When participating in activities in Western countries, I learned a lot about the social environment in Western countries. They advocate and pay attention to family relationships. Western companies will try their best to bring their families to participate in activities such as team building.

Many Western movies also convey a similar concept: family members should stay together.

So as long as Li Yuechen is fine, he will usually stay in the princess mansion, chatting with them, playing and so on.

On Saturday's rest day, Li Yuechen, his two sisters-in-law, and Shangguan Wan'er all went to the sauna room to enjoy steaming after taking a bath.

At this time, spring has just begun, and the weather has not yet warmed up. It is also a kind of enjoyment to stay in the sauna for a while.

In the sauna room made of wooden boards, Li Yuechen poured a basin of water on the stones, making a "chi chi..." sound.

Volcanic rocks are not very easy to find these days, so Li Yuechen used rocks.

Water was poured on the stone, and the temperature instantly rose a bit. Wang Wuqiong, who came in to enjoy the sauna for the first time, couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling his whole throat was hot.

Turning his head to look, several other people wrapped their hair in towels, sitting quietly enjoying it, without feeling any discomfort at all.

Especially Li Yuechen, the skin all over his body has turned pink. I don't know if it's the condensation of water vapor or the sweat from his body that slowly slides down along the streamlined body line, but his expression is still very relaxed.

The other highnesses even wrapped Shangguan Wan'er with ease, only Wang Wuqiong, who came in for the first time, felt uncomfortable.

Perhaps seeing his problem, Li Yuechen smiled lightly: "If you're not used to it, go out for a dip, don't hold back!"

"Yes!" Wang Wuqiong agreed, quickly opened the door and ran out, intending to take a dip in the heated pool.

However, not long after going out, he suddenly opened the door and came in: "Your Highness! The Queen of Heaven...the Holy Mother God Emperor has arrived!"

"Ah?" Li Yuechen was taken aback, why did his mother come here suddenly.

Although he was puzzled, he hurriedly asked a few sisters to go out to meet him.

As soon as I walked out of the sauna, I saw my mother had come in.

The bathroom was filled with water vapor, which blocked a lot of sight, but it felt a bit like being in a fairyland.

Seeing the naked figure coming out of the sauna, Wu Zetian smiled slightly: "You girl will enjoy it!"

"Why didn't Aunt say anything when you came here?" Li Yuechen asked.

"I came here in secret today!" Wu Zetian looked around, "Come here, undress me!"

Obviously, seeing her daughter enjoy it so much, she became interested in it for a while.

Li Yuechen waved away the maids behind him: "I'll come!"

My mother came here suddenly without notice, so she must have something to discuss.Although these court ladies have been investigated, the less people who know about some things, the better.

The others obviously understood what Li Yuechen meant, and immediately saluted and prepared to leave.

Wu Zetian suddenly said, "Wan'er stay here."

"Yes!" Shangguan Wan'er agreed.

The two sisters and sister-in-law saluted: "Then Auntie, I will take my leave first!"

"Well, you can't help me with this matter, go back first!"

Although it was just a simple explanation, it still surprised the two sisters.

She kept her word and really treated them as her own daughters.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuechen smiled, and nodded slightly to his two sisters and sister-in-law: "Boy, undress Auntie!"

……

Wu Zetian stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water, then soaked into the pool with his daughter, and let out a sigh of relief.

"How about Auntie? Is the hot water very comfortable today?" Li Yuechen asked with some pride.

"Hmm..." She nodded slightly, and it was obvious that she seemed very satisfied.

Li Yuechen sat down next to her, leaning against the edge of the pool, with his arms resting carelessly on the edge: "Aniang came today, but do you have something to discuss?"

Shangguan Wan'er on the side also looked over suspiciously, since she was specially asked to stay, it was probably about something about the court.

Wu Zetian nodded lightly: "King Ji sent a letter suddenly, saying that he has collected some rare treasures and wants to present them in person."

Li Yuechen was a little puzzled: "Come in person?",

"Hmm..." Wu Zetian nodded slightly, "Moreover, this letter was hidden in the treasures of the last tribute, and it was not presented normally."

Hearing this sentence, Li Yuechen fell into doubt.

Ji Wang Li Shen, the tenth son of Emperor Taizong, held the position of Prince and Taibao, and he was the governor of Beizhou at this time.

In this special period, it is a bit weird to propose to meet my mother through such means.

Seeing her daughter lost in thought, Wu Zetian suddenly turned her head and asked, "What do you think of Wan'er?"

She also likes this little girl very much, and she thinks that she is much smarter than her own daughter in certain things.

Shangguan Wan'er seemed to have thought that she might ask herself, she lowered her head and thought for a while, "Wan'er thinks that King Ji's move has two purposes..."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Li Yuechen cautiously, and then replied: "Either she wants to seek refuge with His Majesty, or she may want to take the opportunity to assassinate..."

Now that the Queen of Heaven has become the Holy Mother God Emperor, it is normal to call her "Your Majesty".

Wu Zetian laughed softly: "Assassinate me...I'm afraid he alone is not enough?"

Shangguan Wan'er thought for a while: "If I meet His Majesty, I'm afraid there is still a chance within five steps!"

A step in this era refers to the fact that the left and right legs each move forward once to count as a step, and when one leg takes a step forward, it can only be counted as half a step, which is called "stepping".

Hearing her answer, Wu Zetian nodded in agreement.

Anyway, Ji Wang is also a man in his prime, and he is already an old woman.Within this distance, even with bare hands, there is still a chance to kill himself.

"I don't think it's very likely!" Li Yuechen shook his head, "If you take the risk to assassinate yourself, even if you succeed, you will die afterwards. It's meaningless!"

It is indeed possible for people to sacrifice themselves, but most of them must have some meaning in it.And if Li Shen wanted to sacrifice himself to assassinate her, why?

For the country and the world?It is difficult for people in this era to have such ideological awareness.

In order for the brothers to raise troops to seize the throne afterwards?It seems hard to believe.

At least for now, Li Yuechen can't think of a reason enough for him to sacrifice himself.

While helping her mother scrub her body with a towel, she asked, "Now that Auntie's purpose has been exposed, is it possible that she came here to surrender?"

"But why should I believe him?" Wu Zetian asked back.

Shangguan Wan'er suddenly said: "If he tells the plans behind the kings, will His Majesty trust him?"

Before Wu Zetian answered, Li Yuechen shook his head slightly: "This possibility is even smaller. Not to mention whether the relationship between brothers is good, but at least between brothers and sister-in-law, brothers are more reliable, right?"

Li Yuechen didn't think that Li Shen would sell all his brothers in order to win his mother's trust!

Mainly, this is actually a very contradictory question, because even if such a thing is really done, it can only show that this is a ruthless person.Not only is it impossible to gain trust, but it may be strictly guarded against!

After all, you can even sell your own brother, what else can't you sell?

It seems that my mother came here today because she was having a bit of a headache thinking about this problem, so she came here to discuss with me, and by the way, she wanted to go out of the palace to relax, right?
"Then it's better than this," Shangguan Wan'er suddenly suggested, "Your Highness should have almost trained the hidden guards now, why don't you send someone to make contact secretly?"

Li Yuechen felt that this idea was good, and turned to look at his mother.

But she suddenly shook her head very calmly, and said something that Li Yuechen hadn't thought of: "No hurry, this matter may not be testing my attitude."

"Then... how will Auntie plan to respond?" Li Yuechen was puzzled.

Wu Zetian smiled lightly and turned her head: "Wan'er said it."

Shangguan Wan'er thought for a while, raised her head and said, "No response is the best response!"

This answer seemed to make Wu Zetian very satisfied. She nodded appreciatively, and at the same time she was thinking in her heart, with her here, there is no need to worry that her daughter will be designed by someone in the future!
