My wife is Wu Zetian

Hearing what Wu Zetian said, Li Hong suddenly laughed.

What's so good about this emperor? Look at his father, who spends all day sitting in the imperial study.

There is no time for oneself at all.

If I hadn't helped share the burden, I would have run out of energy long ago.

If he really became emperor, wouldn't he have to answer for the rest of his life?

And now he is giving up the throne to his sister. He has had such an idea before, isn't it just right now?

"That's the Ninth Five Emperor, the number one person in the world, and you gave in so easily?

The most important thing is that your sister is just a woman. Are you not afraid that this country will be harmed by your sister? "

Wu Zetian didn't expect that Li Hong would be so disdainful of the throne, which really made her a little confused.

"Queen mother, what you said is a little wrong. No matter how noble the world is, it is not as valuable as flesh and blood and family ties in Hong'er's eyes.

Besides, you are also a woman. Aren't you helping your father to manage the Tang Dynasty in an orderly manner?

Moreover, my father also said that Sister A has the means and structure. Isn't such a person the best person in the world in the Tang Dynasty?

Besides, there is no difference between leaving the Tang Dynasty in my hands and leaving it in my sister’s hands. Both belong to my Li family.

He also asked his mother to pass the decree to his father, so that Sister A could ascend the throne in place of Hong'er and become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. "

Li Hong knelt down on the ground with a plop and kowtowed hard to his mother.

"You really don't regret it?"

Wu Zetian glanced at Li Hong who was kneeling in front of him and asked again.

"Hong'er will never regret it!"

Li Hongcong raised his head and looked at his mother, his eyes full of determination.

"Okay, the queen mother knows, you can come with me to see your father for the last time!"

Wu Zetian sighed. She had thought of a lot of excuses, but now they seemed to be useless.

It really made him feel like vomiting blood.

"Here!"

Li Hong nodded and followed Wu Zetian directly to see Li Zhi for the last time.

Seeing his father's peaceful face, Li Hong knelt down in front of the bed and began to cry bitterly.

Wu Zetian also sighed, ordered people to guard the palace gate, and then sent someone to call Li Yanran over.

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

Li Yanran slowly came to Wu Zetian and bowed to her.

In the past few years, under the influence of my mother, she has been completely washed away, she has shed her immaturity, and has become more generous.

"sit down!"

Wu Zetian nodded and motioned for Li Yanran to sit next to her.

"Auntie, what makes you so worried? Is my father's current situation not good?"

Looking at my mother's appearance, Li Yanran also frowned.

For some reason, her right eye kept twitching today, and she always had an ominous premonition.

"You also know what your father is like. I'm afraid there won't be much time. You'd better make plans early!"

Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, her daughter was not as easy to fool as Li Hong.

Before she said anything, she guessed that something was wrong with Li Zhi.

So astute.

"Make plans early? What good plans does the daughter have? If the father really dies, the daughter will go to the mausoleum to observe mourning for the father for three years.

When the observance of filial piety is over, I will go back to Lishan to live my little life! "

Li Yanran's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. If her father was really gone, she would be sad, cry, and miserable.

But she didn't understand what my mother meant.

"The trees are still but the wind is not stopping. Do you really think that the current situation is what you want?

Do you know that when your father really dies and Hong'er ascends the throne, what will be the first thing those courtiers will do? "

Looking at her silly daughter, Wu Zetian also felt a little resentful, so she just slapped her.

"Aniang, what do you mean, if Hongdi ascends the throne, those courtiers will definitely interfere in the affairs of the harem, harm the reputation of the Tang Dynasty, and force him to take action against you and me?"

Li Yanran is not stupid. Unless she doesn't want to think about some things, she can definitely think of them.

"That's right, the queen mother was criticized by the ministers for listening to politics behind the curtain. If your father really passed away, those ministers would definitely ask the queen mother to return the power to Hong'er.

Don't you know that their so-called return of power to Hong'er is ostensibly given to Hong'er, but in fact it will still fall into the hands of those ministers.

If this is the case, not only the queen mother, but also you and the people behind you will be liquidated.

Wu family, Cheng family, Changsun family, Yuchi family, Su family, Di family, no one who has received our favor can escape.

The people behind us will not sit back and watch this happen, and it is absolutely impossible for them to sit back and wait for death.

Unexpected changes are likely to occur.

At that time, the court will be in turmoil, and the newly conquered Tubo, Goguryeo, Western Regions and even the Japanese country may have relapses.

That’s why I’m asking you, what are you going to do next? "

Wu Zetian nodded and told everything about the current situation.

Sometimes you can't just retreat if you want to.

It's okay to say that there are no wealthy people behind her, but things are different behind Li Yanran.

It can be said that as long as the princes and generals give an order, half of the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty may defect.

Even if Li Yanran doesn't want to, they will still drive her forward and take the final step.

This is not only to take a risk for glory, but also to ensure that oneself will not be doomed. "Then Aniang, you don't want me to compete with Hongdi for the Tang Dynasty, do you? I can't do that.

Hongdi is my biological brother, and he is the one I grew up watching.

You want me to do this, but I can't do it. "

Li Yanran was dumbfounded. After hearing what my mother said, it seemed that this was really the case.

You need to know why Zhao Kuangyin was able to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. First, he wanted to be the emperor himself, and second, the generals under him also wanted him to be.

That's why there was the Chenqiao mutiny and the yellow robe.

But that wasn't her original intention. Being an emperor is so tiring. Why would anyone be so stupid as to fight for that position? He's full.

"Aniang knows that you and Hong'er have a deep love for each other, but there are some things that you can't just stop doing if you don't want to do them. Do you understand that you are riding a tiger but it's hard to get off?"

Wu Zetian glanced at Li Yanran and sighed slowly at her.

"Auntie, is there no way to have both? Yanran doesn't want to fight with Hongdi because of this, and the sister and brother will kill each other."

Li Yanran was also depressed, why did this kind of thing happen to her? If she had known that this was the case, she would not have done anything political even if she was beaten to death.

"Now there is only one way to achieve both ends, and that is for Aniang to persuade Hongdi to give up the throne, and then falsely convey your father's imperial edict and allow you to ascend the throne.

This will not only reassure the people behind you, but also prevent you and your brother from fighting each other.

In this way, after you have been on the throne for a period of time, the court is stable, and then you give up the throne to your emperor, then you can keep the Tang Dynasty. "

Wu Zetian didn't dare to look into Li Yanran's eyes and turned to look at the roof.

She knew that her daughter was a man, and she was afraid that the other party would see something wrong.

"Auntie, look into my eyes, have you already discussed this with Hongdi?

And what happened to the father? Auntie, tell me! "

Hearing what my mother said, Li Yanran immediately realized something was wrong.

How could I think of this in an instant? She must have planned it before calling me here, and if she could discuss with herself the false edict, there must be something wrong with it.

"You still can't hide it from you. Your father has passed away, and I have discussed it with Hong'er, and he also said that he doesn't want to compete with you for the position of the Ninth Five-Year Master."

Wu Zetian sighed, knowing that this girl was not so easy to deal with, so she also told the whole situation.

"Father is dead?"

Li Yanran seemed to have lost her soul and sat slumped on the ground, her eyes filled with tears.

From the very first meeting, to the two sides becoming sworn businessmen, to recognizing their ancestors and reuniting with them in a majestic manner, and then the lottery, water transport, and picking off her father's beard, all these things kept running through her mind like a revolving lantern. flash.

Such a father who liked himself, doted on himself, and indulged himself was gone just like that.

How could he leave?

According to history, Dad has at least ten years to live, so how can he leave?

She doesn't believe it, she doesn't believe it.

Suddenly she jumped up from the ground and ran outside.

"Open the door, open the door quickly!"

"Open the door quickly!"

"Let me out!"

Li Yanran knocked on the door in vain, but the door seemed to be welded shut. No matter how hard she tried, she could not open it, and no one responded.

"Yanran, are you willing to ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, becoming the first female emperor in the history of the Tang Dynasty?"

Wu Zetian slowly walked to Li Yanran and asked her slowly.

"Auntie, do you only have rights, desires, and your position of honor in your heart, and don't you have any family affection in your heart?"

Li Yanran turned her head and looked at Wu Zetian and this old woman with blood-red eyes.

This was the first time she felt hatred for the mother who gave birth to and raised her.

Even though she knew what kind of person Wu Zetian was before, she still respected and loved him very much.

After all, there are times when she has no choice but to do so, but now that her father is gone, she is still here discussing how to ascend the throne.

She can't take it.

"Snapped!"

Wu Zetian just slapped Li Yanran and staggered her.

"Li Yanran, is this how you talk to your mother? Who told you, who gave you the courage!"

Wu Zetian was about to explode with rage.

Is everything he does for himself? It's not because of Li Yanran, a little white-eyed wolf.

She really didn't expect that her daughter would think of her like this. How could this make her, a mother, not sad and chilling.

"Auntie, you."

Looking at the furious old lady, Li Yanran also shuddered.

"I only know rights, and I only know the ninety-five nobles, but do you know that if my mother doesn't arrange everything well, the world will be in chaos.

Countless princes, nobles, and people of the Tang Dynasty will be plunged into dire straits.

Your father is gone, and Aniang will never allow any problems to arise in Datang.

Otherwise, a hundred years from now, I won’t have the face to see him. "

Wu Zetian stared at the daughter in front of her, her eyes full of anger and indifference.

"Auntie, my daughter has realized her mistake. I know that you have sacrificed everything for the Tang Dynasty.

Let's do it this way, Yanran can do whatever you want, okay? "
