Immortality begins with Xiaoao

Chapter 199 Empress Wu usurped the throne and replaced Zhou Dynasty with Tang Dynasty

After Li Zhi was frightened by Zhu Bajie and others, he was in awe of Tang Seng. He not only vacated the Xiangguo Temple where the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was located, but also asked many talents to transcribe and translate Buddhist scriptures for Tang Seng.

Among them, the most famous is Chu Suiliang, a great talent.

This translation lasted for more than ten years. Sun Wukong and others often wandered in Chang'an. Naturally, the people were afraid to go to the streets at the beginning.

Although Sun Wukong and others are vicious in appearance, after studying with Tang Seng, they actually have a lot of Buddha nature. Although they love to joke, they also have a compassionate heart of Buddhism, and they gradually got acquainted with each other in Chang'an.

Li Zhi's health was not good. At the beginning, his succession was taken away by Changsun Wuji and others. He had spent a lot of effort to abolish the posthumous matter. After being frightened by Zhu Bajie, his health became worse and worse. Hand over some government affairs to Wu Meiniang.

Li Zhi didn't realize it at first, but after most of the government affairs were helped by Wu Meiniang, Li Zhi was very relaxed and happy. After staying for a few years, Li Zhi suddenly found that the court was filled with a large number of so-called Queens.

When Li Zhi wanted to take back his rights, he found that he was unable to do what he wanted. He was not in good health, and he was addicted to alcohol and sex in the past few years.

Li Zhi wanted to suppress Wu Meiniang all these years, but Wu Meiniang was inseparable from handling the government affairs.

This situation was maintained until Li Zhi was dying.

In the Taiji Palace, Li Zhicai was only in his early fifties, his hair was already gray, his skin was sagging, and there were some faint age spots.

"National teacher, Datang is handed over to you."

Li Zhi held Yuan Tiangang's hand with tears in his eyes.

Yuan Tiangang was still handsome, looking at Li Zhi expressionlessly, and said:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, with this commander here, Tang Dynasty will not be destroyed."

When Li Zhi was about to say something while weeping, a little eunuch outside hissed:

"days later"

Hearing Wu Meiniang's arrival, Li Zhi's body trembled, he didn't dare to say any more, he turned his head and whispered:
"I don't want to see her, let her go."

It's just that it was too late, Wu Meiniang had already strode in, before she came to the dragon bed, seeing Li Zhi's appearance, she just sneered and said:

"Your Majesty, I heard that you want the national teacher to kill me?"

Yuan Tiangang just sat quietly on the Hu chair, and although Li Zhi turned his back to Wu Meiniang, he still trembled when he heard the aggressive words, and said with some tears:
"No, no, Mei Niang, we have been husband and wife for decades, how could I harm you?"

Although Wu Meiniang is over 50, she is well maintained and looks like she is only in her early thirties. She stared at her and said coldly:
"Your Majesty, don't you want to see your concubine now?"

Li Zhi didn't dare to turn around, but said in a crying voice:
"I'm sick, Mei Niang, I."

Li Zhi didn't speak yet, only Wu Meiniang snorted coldly.

"Hmph, Li Zhiyi, turn around for me."

Li Zhi trembled, but before he could speak, Wu Meiniang immediately turned him over.

Seeing tears hanging from the corners of Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi's eyes, she forced a smile on her face and said:

"Meiniang, I'm sick, what's the matter, can we talk about it after I recover?"

Her tone was pleading, but Wu Meiniang showed no mercy, she took out an imperial decree from her sleeve and said:

"Your Majesty, Li Xian is not filial and should abolish the crown prince. Please use your seal."

Seeing Wu Meiniang coming again, Li Zhi blushed with a strange blush, coughed, and said decisively:

"Meiniang, as I said, I am ill, and abolishing the crown prince is a major matter. We will discuss it when I recover from illness."

Wu Meiniang cast her eyes coldly and said:

"It is precisely because it is a major event, so it cannot be delayed. Please use your seal."

After finishing speaking, he handed the imperial decree of Ming and Huang to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi didn't answer, just shook his head.

Wu Meiniang looked at Li Zhi's appearance, sneered, said no more, waved her hand slightly, and a young eunuch followed and left the Tai Chi Palace. Not long after, a young eunuch ran into the Tai Chi Palace in a panic, Came to Li Zhilong's bed and whispered:

"Your Majesty, all the officials have entered the palace to ask for an audience. Your Majesty, please abolish the crown prince."

Li Zhiben had already turned around, and when he heard this, he suddenly turned his head, looked at Wu Meiniang and said:

"You temptress, you are so vicious. Tiger poison doesn't eat offspring, and Xian'er is also your own son. How can you bear it?"

Facing Li Zhi's questioning, Wu Meiniang didn't deserve to die, she just said:
"Your Majesty, please use your seal."

Hearing Wu Meiniang's indifferent voice, Li Zhi yelled at Wu Meiniang as a "witch".Then his face turned red, and a mouthful of blood spewed out.

Seeing the blood splattered on the phoenix robe, Wu Meiniang frowned slightly.

After Li Zhi spat out a mouthful of blood, he passed out on the dragon bed, and only a little eunuch cried out, "Your Majesty."

Wu Meiniang frowned, bent over and took out a wooden box from under Li Zhi's bed, opened it, took out the jade seal, and put it on top of the imperial edict.

After finishing these, Wu Meiniang turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Yuan Tiangang and said:
"The national teacher knows current affairs, and the Ai family will not treat the national teacher badly."

Before Li Zhi died, Wu Meiniang had already called herself Aijia.

Yuan Tiangang smiled slightly and said:

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much, I've always been with your Majesty."

Wu Meiniang nodded in satisfaction before striding out of the Taiji Palace.

The next day.

Li Zhi was seriously ill and comatose, and the Queen of Heaven presided over the abolition of the crown prince. The upright people in the court had long been killed by Wu Meiniang, and demoted. The abolition of the crown prince was such a big event that it went so smoothly.

However, within a few days, Li Zhi died of a serious illness.

After Wu Meiniang presided over Li Zhi's funeral, she appointed the weakest Li Xian as the emperor, and changed the title to Sisheng, which means that the sage and queen are respected.

Less than two months into his reign, Li Xian was paid by the empress dowager who was renamed Wu Zetian.

At the same time, auspicious signs appeared in all parts of the world, and all officials should be in the Wu family as a saint.Persuade Wu Zetian to proclaim himself emperor.

Wu Zetian refused, and ordered Pei Pei, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, to select a talented person from the clan to succeed him.

As a result, Pei Pei refused to obey the edict on the grounds that the Queen of Heaven would not proclaim herself emperor and the world would be uneasy.

Baiguan persuaded him again, but Empress Wu still refused.

It wasn't until Li Xian, who had been deposed and abdicated, also went to Shushu on behalf of the Li family to persuade him to enter, Wu Zetian accepted it.

And Yuan Tiangang has been watching coldly, neither supporting nor opposing.

Watching Wu Zetian change the phoenix clothes and put on the yellow robe, sacrifice to the heaven and the earth, change the name of the country to Zhou, and the name of the year to the holy calendar.

Later, he even claimed that he was the reincarnation of Maitreya. This time he came to save the world and go to the bliss of the Western Paradise together. He also named Tang Seng, who had just translated the Buddhist scriptures, as the Patriarch Chongsheng. identity.

But I don’t think that although Tang Seng is a monk, he is going to become a Buddha now, but he is also very dissatisfied with Wu Zetian’s usurpation of the Tang Dynasty. Such a bird week person?Even Tang Seng has such a good temper and is a little annoyed.

Throw away the translated Buddhist scriptures, and take the disciples to the west to become a Buddha, which is not like Wu Zetian at all.
