Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 946 Supreme Power

The heroine of the world can be said to be a prophecy handed down by King Su himself. This is Ji Zhao's will.

But in fact, even after finding the key person Wu Zhao, even Luo Su has not yet fully understood how this matter was achieved.

Ever since King Su established the patriarchal system more than 1,600 years ago, it has been almost impossible for a female monarch to exist in the land of Zhuxia.

Zhao Yingluo in the Western Regions, as well as those countries further west where there are female monarchs, do not have a patriarchal system. This is a culture that is completely patriarchal.

In Zhuxia, a woman must rely on her husband or father to hold power. Even so, Ji Lingjun and Lu Fei, the two most powerful people so far, although one is Luo Yingong and the other is a chronicler, but That is calculated based on real power. Ultimately, it is only half the difference. Moreover, if we analyze the source of their power, Ji Lingjun’s power comes from her brother, the monarch of Luo Kingdom, while Lu Pheasant comes from her son Han Xiaohui. emperor.

It is said that the government is governed by Lingjun and the sacrifice is made by Luojun. Ji Lingjun and Lu Pheasant both walk on half legs.

Where is the real monarch?

Actual power comes from the subjects who surrender to her, and divine power comes from heaven!

No one would want a woman to inherit the destiny. In the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, how could this be done?

Luo Shi will not let the political situation move towards an unpredictable future by promoting the heroine world. Pushing one thing will only make the future fall into an unpredictable ending. Even Luo Su, although he has always taken the will of King Su as his own responsibility , but it will not change its bottom line.

Wu Zhao truly entered the center of the empire in every sense. The so-called power of the empire lies in that big seal. Whoever holds the big seal, who corrects memorials, and whoever has the power to make decisions is the king. Wu Zhao The affairs he controls even exceed those of Li Zhi. Who is the real king?

Foreigners will respond!

……

Li Zhi felt that Wu Zhao had changed now. He no longer had the tenderness and carelessness of the past. He had to take care of everything, not only in life, but also in national affairs. He seemed to have returned to the person he was before when Chang Sun Wuji took care of him. when.

She can definitely become Lu Pheasant's second best. No, she can even surpass Lu Pheasant. In terms of ability, Lu Pheasant is not as good as her.

"Queen, don't say such things again in the future. If the walls have ears, that would be bad. After all, the emperor is still in charge, and the queen is the most powerful. I wish I knew that."

Her heart is also fleshy. She is very similar to Li Shimin in this aspect. They are both more emotional when the bottom line is not touched, but they will not hesitate when the bottom line is touched. Wu Shun does not care about the relationship with her sisters, and Endangering her position as queen touched her bottom line, but fortunately, under the bottom line, there was Luo Junwei, Wu Shun left a life, Changsun Wuji, Queen Wang, Xiao Shufei and others all died because of Luo Junwei left a life behind, so she really should give Luo Junwei a blow.

Luo Junwei stopped the pen in her hand, sighed slightly, and reassured Wu Zhao. She was the one who understood the current relationship between Li Zhi and Wu Zhao best. To say that these two people did have true feelings, but they still had true feelings. It's troublesome. If it's really pure profit, it would be easier to handle.

Hearing this, Wu Zhao became even more dissatisfied with Li Zhi. Forget it on weekdays, in front of Luo Junwei, she didn't have to pretend, and said angrily: "Weiwei, you were right at the beginning. Men's promises are indeed unreliable. , if I am like those stupid women now, I am afraid I will become the second person to be deposed.

But she never expected that Li Zhi would take advantage of her sister when she entered the palace, and also neglected her. This made Wu Zhao completely intolerable, and what made Wu Zhao even more intolerable was that , Li Zhi also fell in love with her niece, Helan Minyue, the daughter of the Korean lady Wu Shun. It would be okay to say that sisters serve together. There are many such things in the world, but the niece is so outrageous that she almost loses her face. Trampled under her feet, she felt that she couldn't hold her head up in front of Luo Junwei.

Wu Zhao naturally had an impression of Luo Xuanyun. At the ceremony for her canonization as queen, Luo Xuanyun rushed back from Mobei and gave her a blanket made of fine white wolf skin.

Luo Junwei gently patted Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao was silent for a moment, and then her eyes fell on Luo Junwei. If there was no Luo Junwei, she would just let Wu Shun disappear. Only the dead are the safest, but she knew that Luo Junwei would never let her She did this, and after all, she was her sister. If she had a choice, she still didn't want to go to that final step.

In this case, Luo Su set his sights on Wu Zhao. He believed that the person chosen by King Su must be different. He knew Wu Zhao relatively well. She was a very excellent woman. .

"Weiwei, tell me."

She doesn't have the mentality that the emperor must be a man.

At this critical moment, as if God was helping Wu Zhao, Emperor Li Zhi actually fell ill, and his illness was exactly the same as that of his grandfather Li Yuan and father Li Shimin in their later years. This kind of illness was hidden deep in the Li family. The lesions in the bone marrow are like a curse. Everyone knows that if you have this disease, it will be difficult to see things properly.

Luo Junwei pondered and then said: "If you and His Majesty had not withstood Changsun Wuji's counterattack before, what would have been the result?"

Wu Zhao left Luo Junwei's soft body and straightened her messy hair. "I know, it's just a momentary excitement. I won't say these words in front of outsiders."

After Luo Xuanyun served as the Protector-General of Anxi in the Western Regions, he was transferred to Mobei and was officially promoted to the Protector-General of Anbei. He teamed up with King Li Ke of Yan. In the Tang Empire, he was regarded as a standard feudal official. He was transferred to Anbei. After becoming the Protector of Peking University, Luo knew that during Li Zhi's time, he would not be able to enter the center, and he would probably be wandering around the border from now on.

Seeing this, Luo Junwei nodded lightly, "Queen, don't worry, your sister will soon get a strange disease, which is difficult for anyone to cure. She can only recover at Jiangdong Luo's. She will never have the chance to meet the emperor again." ”

"Let her go to Jiangdong, a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, where she can live comfortably for the rest of her life."

Luo Junwei was processing the memorial and said: "Queen, I heard that you and the emperor broke up on bad terms the day before yesterday?

After all, he is the emperor, so you still have to deal with him, otherwise the incident involving Changsun Wuji may not have fallen on you. "

Luo Junwei was very troubled in her heart, but recalling Li Zhi's various actions since he ascended the throne, she also recalled Wu Zhao's words in his sleep a few nights ago, and she was also worried about losing her position as queen. She still said slowly and solemnly: "Queen, in fact, if you want to completely keep your position as queen, there is only one way."

As for my sister..."

Almost everyone watched Wu Zhao's influence growing day by day. The speed of growth made the emperor Li Zhi a little uneasy. Wu Zhao's strong political enthusiasm did not look like a woman. Moreover, Wu Zhao did very well, which made Emperor Li Zhi a little uneasy. Li Zhi was very satisfied and greatly shared his pressure.

Luo Junwei easily dealt with the things that had been bothering her, which made Wu Zhao very happy. She hugged Luo Junwei and put her face on Luo Junwei's shoulder, "The emperor will hand over the government to me, and I will hand it over again." Here you go, the emperor is a fake emperor, the political officials are fake prime ministers, I am the real emperor, and Weiwei you are the real prime minister."

Wu Zhao's talents in politics, internal affairs, and power struggles were extremely high. It could even be said that few people could match her talents.

In addition to being ruthless, there are not many people in the political arena who are not ruthless, so this is not a big deal.

Taiji Hall, this is the center of the empire. Wu Zhao sits here majestically, but she never handles government affairs. Instead, she watches Luo Junwei handle the memorials. She has a group of prime ministers in the outer court, and Luo Jun in the palace. Wei helped her, and there were people inside and outside calling Luo Junwei the internal minister.

When Liu Bang was alive, it was basically difficult for Lu Fei to intervene in the political affairs of the Han Dynasty. However, just two years after Wu Zhao overthrew Changsun Wuji, prime ministers and many ministers already stood in her camp. These ministers even The ability to be willing to be driven by her to veto Emperor Li Zhi's decision is shocking.

Luo Junwei pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Queen, maybe I can help you with this matter. I have a younger brother who is the son of Chen Guogong Luo Xuanyun. I don't know if the queen has any impression."

Wu Zhao is jealous. She relied on Li Zhi's favor to fight all the way up, so she is very clear about the power of the emperor's favor. In these years, no one else has given birth to a prince for Li Zhi, only her and Li Zhi's. Child, she was the one taking precautions.

Luo Junwei stiffened when she heard this, with endless waves in her heart, and then slowly hugged Wu Zhao back. She suddenly realized why Wu Zhao was the key person. Wu Zhao's thoughts were very different, and she had no idea in her heart. That's as it should be.

Queen Wang lost Li Zhi's favor and was deposed immediately. Lu Zhi's position as queen was saved by the Luo and Lu families and many heroes. Now, Wu Zhao wants to hold the position of queen. In his own hands, he reached a point where even the emperor Li Zhi could not depose him.

Power is only useful if it is in one's own hands. I have to hold on tightly. He is really too much. "

Coupled with the fact that she has an aunt who is a queen, there are countless people who want to get married to her, but probably no one thought that her uncle would have thoughts about her. If he hadn't been concerned that she was still young, he would have. He will possess Helan Minyue just like he took possession of the Korean wife. From this point of view alone, Li Zhi is definitely a member of the authentic old Li family. When it comes to beauty, he has a kind of disregard for the impact.

Luo Junwei did not breathe a sigh of relief as Wu Zhao imagined, but frowned, as if he was struggling with something. This kind of expression rarely appeared on Luo Junwei, which made Wu Zhao feel infinite. Out of curiosity, she asked curiously: "Weiwei, do you have anything to tell me?"

Wu Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this. She took Luo Junwei's hand and said with emotion: "Only Weiwei is really good for me. The others are all bitches. Just do as you say and send that girl to Momo." Going north, a little girl, accompanying a sick man, who is also his uncle, is really ruining the rest of his life.

Seeing this, Luo Junwei glanced around and said in a low voice: "My uncle Luo Xuanyun has a son who is only three years older than your niece. There is no engagement yet. There is no one in the Helan family now. You are Queen, of course this matter is up to you. Why don't you just betroth her to my nephew, my Luo family's daughter-in-law. The emperor would not dare to touch her, and then ask Mrs. Han to send He Lan Minyue to Mobei. If the Queen is willing, I can have her appear in Jiangdong, Mobei, or Liaodong within three days, it all depends on the Queen."

She could openly say that she was the true emperor, with only pride in her tone and no trace of fear.

Helan Minyue's appearance is extremely outstanding. She has been famous since she was young. As she grew up, she became the best among all the celebrities. People in Chang'an called her "Luo Banbian". This word means that the daughter of the Luo family and her Each accounts for half of Chang'an's beauty. The Luo girl has always been famous for her beauty, and you can see how beautiful she is from this.

Wu Zhao did not expect that Luo Junwei was thinking about this matter, and she was greatly surprised. Luo Junwei sighed and said, "Did Queen Wang curse you before she left Chang'an, saying that she had lost her position as queen?" , you will follow in her footsteps in the future. You had nightmares a few days ago, and I know you are very afraid of this, and the emperor cannot give you a sense of security."

Wu Zhao is a political expert. She thought for a moment and said: "That must have been completely ignored. Changsun Wuji still has the final say in government affairs now, and it will be much more difficult to seize power again."

After all, power comes from the bottom up. When Li Zhi and Wu Zhao launched an attack on Changsun Wuji, the ministers who followed were very important, giving them room to move. If they had not been able to withstand it at the beginning, they would have been a little bit behind. If Changsun Wuji shows a little weakness and allows Changsun Wuji to successfully deal with all the ministers who worked for the two of them, then the ministers in the future will consider this matter and whether to put the lives of the whole family on the emperor.

Once this consideration is made, it will be basically difficult to regain the king's power. Generally speaking, this kind of support can only be used once.

Wu Zhao is so smart. Just by Luo Junwei mentioning this matter, she knew what Luo Junwei was going to say, "Weiwei, you mean, I have to win a glorious victory in front of everyone?" Yes Whose victory?

Of course it belongs to the emperor!

Li Zhi must have the idea of ​​​​deposing the queen in his heart now, but if Wu Zhao can let Li Zhi abandon the idea of ​​​​deposing the queen in front of everyone, and even eliminate the people who helped Li Zhi depose the queen, then everyone Everyone will see her power.

In the future, no one will dare to stand on the side of the emperor and propose deposing the queen. At that time, her queen will be truly stable. Without the support of the courtiers, the emperor can do nothing.

Wu Zhao could even imagine that if this incident really happened, the emperor's political prestige would be greatly reduced, while hers would be greatly increased, and the current relationship model would change again. At that time, The emperor, who was already having difficulty handling government affairs, really wanted to share the empire's supreme power with himself, and even his power would completely exceed that of the emperor Li Zhi.

"Weiwei, you are so awesome!"

Wu Zhao, who had figured out all the joints, couldn't help it any longer, and he was beaming, "It's really amazing that he can come up with such a clever plan. I don't think any of the prime ministers in the outer dynasty can compare with you. The Imperial Master said that you He is the most powerful among the Luo clan of this generation, as expected.”

Seeing that Wu Zhao was so happy, Luo Junwei put away the worries in her heart and said with a smile: "I didn't say anything. You were the one who came up with it smartly."

Wu Zhao patted his big round head like a man, causing a wave of waves, "I understand, Weiwei, you didn't say anything. You need to find the right person for this matter. Most of the prime ministers now will not do this." thing.”

The position of Empress Wu Zhao is much more stable than that of Empress Wang. Most of the prime ministers in the current political affairs hall were promoted because of the events that overthrew Empress Wang and Changsun Wuji. The qualifications for these people's promotion were to support Wu Zhao. As the queen, these people will not participate in deposing Wu Zhao.

Seeing that Wu Zhao was still so impatient, Luo Junwei quickly persuaded her: "Queen, don't be so anxious. As long as you spread your eyes all over the palace, no disturbance in the palace will be able to escape your eyes. Wait until the time is right." When the time comes, you can take action again.

If the emperor does not put his thoughts into action, there is no need for you to have to confront the emperor. This is not a good thing after all. According to the emperor's physical condition, you can get what you want step by step. "

Wu Zhao forcibly calmed down and calmed down. Luo Junwei was right. She couldn't rush this matter. She believed that Li Zhi's idea of ​​deposing the queen was just a hot head. Li Zhi would only do this if he lost his mind. thing.

She is completely different from the previous queens. Although she is a queen now, she is not one of those queens who does not interfere in politics. She is actually acting on behalf of Li Zhi's imperial power. Li Zhi has never thought about deposing her. To whom the power is given.

As for Li Zhi himself?

If Li Zhi's body could completely govern the country, then she would not have such great power. After deposing her, where could he find someone to rule the country in his place who could reassure him.

There was no one at all. None of the prime ministers in the political hall could be trusted by Li Zhi from the bottom of his heart, let alone handing over the imperial power. In the end, he went around and around and could only rely on Wu Zhao.

After all, they were husband and wife. Under the patriarchal system, the relationship between husband and wife was very close, and Wu Zhao was a woman. How could a woman usurp the world?

If the power really falls into the hands of the ministers, it is uncertain whether they can come back in the end. But if the power falls into the hands of Wu Zhao, it will eventually be returned to the hands of their two sons.

Empress Gao of the Han Dynasty was so powerful at the time. She called her "I", called her "Beng" when she died, and called her tomb "Ling". She was no different from the emperor. But the next emperor of the Han Dynasty will still be Liu Ying.

Wu Zhao understood this, so she had the calmness to sit and watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court. She quietly watched those clowns committing suicide.

……

Luo Junwei moved quickly. When Li Zhi felt something was wrong, Wu Shun and Helan Minyue had not entered the palace for several days. He was very confused and asked Wu Zhao. Wu Zhao then said: "Min Yue has the appearance of enchanting the country and the city, and the Luo family came to propose marriage, so I took the decision and betrothed her to Chen Guogong's son.

My sister was ill a few days ago, and the famous doctors in Chang'an were unable to cure her. Even the Imperial Hospital was unable to cure her. The best doctor in the world, apart from the imperial palace, was the Luo family in Suzhou. I asked my cousin about it, and she said Mrs. Chu's medical skills were extremely high at the time, so I sent my sister to Suzhou, Jiangnan, to train there.

Before I had time to tell His Majesty, I was worried that His Majesty was in poor health, so I was too worried about this matter. "

Ah!

Li Zhi was shocked when he heard this. He never expected that Wu Zhao had done so many things in just a few days. He had not had time to react to Wu Shun's illness. After all, Wu Shun was already the woman he had obtained, but He Lanmin Yue was actually betrothed to Chen Guogong's son, which made him a little confused.

"Min Yue was betrothed, why didn't I know about it?"

Wu Zhao asked curiously: "Your Majesty is busy with many things. The marriage of a little daughter in my concubine's family, or even just a commoner woman, how can it be His Majesty's turn to pay attention to it?

I am a queen, and the marriage of women in this world is within the scope of my responsibilities. Moreover, I am her elder. If Chen Guogong is interested, I will arrange a marriage for him. There is nothing wrong with this. Well, what is your Majesty going to say? "

Li Zhi was about to be angered to death by Wu Zhao's yin and yang attitude of pretending to be innocent. He huffed for a few breaths, and then said angrily: "After all, I am Min Yue's uncle. Isn't it right to pay attention to it?"

Wu Zhao looked like he suddenly realized something, "I see, your majesty's love for Min Yue is known to me, so I will confer a title on Min Yue so that she can marry in glory. Your majesty's niece and I cannot be wronged." "

Li Zhi was almost depressed to death when he heard this, but he couldn't say it out loud. There were some things that could only be done but not said, otherwise it would be too shameless. He looked at Wu Zhao's still beautiful face, but he was angry. Without saying anything, "Queen, you are very good, very good, I will remember it."

After saying that, he turned around and left the Jiaolan Palace angrily. Everyone else in the palace was too angry and did not dare to speak out. Wu Zhao's eyes were both happy and sad. The two people who were so loving at the beginning have now become like this. She He was sad and angry at the same time, "Men are really unreliable."

Li Zhi was really mad this time. He felt that Wu Zhao was riding on his head. He was trembling all over, "Wu Zhao, I must destroy you, I must destroy you."

After venting, he was a little discouraged. How was he going to abolish Wu Zhao? Now that these prime ministers couldn't be used, he would have to use a new prime minister.

But although the prime ministers like power, there have been a lot of political struggles in recent years, and the courtiers are also a little tired, and they may not necessarily support him in starting another political storm.

Moreover, by keeping the center of the imperial court in such a political storm, Li Zhi was very worried that it would cause the political atmosphere to deteriorate, which would in turn lead to the surrounding vassal kings peeking at the throne.

Although the political struggles at the upper levels have been more serious in recent years, and can even be called killings, the middle and lower levels have not actually changed much. Even the positions of state governor and state governor, two typical high-ranking officials, have not changed. There are almost no major changes.

The Tang Dynasty is still on the road to greater prosperity, and because there are too many things in the center, Li Zhi has not launched any foreign wars. If you include the late Zhenguan period, the Central Plains court of the Tang Dynasty has already had There have been no military expeditions in more than ten years, so Li Zhi is still very good in the minds of ordinary people.

Li Zhi has always wanted to become an emperor who surpassed his father, so he cherishes the current situation of the Tang Dynasty very much and does not hope for any big fluctuations. He still knows the difference between harming a powerful family and harming the common people. of.

In this dilemma, he returned to the bedroom. Looking at everything in the bedroom, he suddenly felt a sense of nostalgia. In this bedroom, just seven days ago, he and Lady Wu Shun of Korea made love here. Her skin, as smooth as cream, seemed to be right in front of him, but now, everything disappeared, and along with these things, his majesty also disappeared, symbolizing the majesty of the emperor and the husband.

He immediately wanted to summon the new prime minister Shangguan Yi into the palace. Now the only one he could use was Shangguan Yi. But after thinking about it, he forcibly restrained himself and summoned Luo Junzhuo into the palace first. At this critical moment , he hopes to get Luo Junzhuo's judgment.

After Luo Junzhuo hurriedly entered the palace, he saw the emperor's face was pale, and his heart suddenly thumped, secretly wondering what was going on.

After Li Zhi saw Luo Junzhuo, he became more and more uncomfortable, so he told everything, and then said in pain: "The queen is acting arbitrarily and has disappointed the whole country. I want to depose her, Ziyang, what do you think?"

Luo Junzhuo was shocked when he heard this. He almost didn't care about the way of a monarch and his ministers, and said sternly: "Your Majesty, you must not do it, you must not do it!"

Li Zhi didn't expect Luo Junzhuo's reaction to be so big, "Absolutely not? Ziyang, what do you think?"

Luo Junzhuo knew that Li Zhi must have been stimulated, so he suddenly had this idea in his head. He said seriously: "Your Majesty, most of the government affairs are now handled by the queen. If the queen is deposed, who will handle these matters?

Should it be handed over to the British public?

And the two sycophants Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong, or the prime minister Shangguan Yi who only has literary talent but no practical ability, or someone else? "

Luo Junzhuo's words were like a blow to the head, directly waking up Li Zhi, making him instantly realize his recklessness. Wu Zhao was indispensable for the steady progress of the Tang Dynasty in recent years. He was remarkable in government affairs and played an important role in various fields. In handling all matters, she was extremely mature and smooth. In other words, Wu Zhao was now indispensable to her, not as a woman, but as a trustworthy political ally.

Seeing Li Zhi's expression changing again and again, Luo Junzhuo knew that Li Zhi had heard it, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you and the Queen have a deep love for each other in times of adversity. There is no unsolvable knot between husband and wife. ?

It’s really not like we’ve reached this point. "

Li Zhi held Luo Junzhuo's hand and cried, "Thanks to you Ziyang today, I almost made a big mistake."
