Chapter 293 Half Wu Zetian

Wu Zetian glanced sideways and listened to her story with great interest. Zhu Qi said: "You are right, I am not Wu Zhao, not the queen mother. I can only be regarded as half Wu Zetian."

"Back then, the queen mother did use my life to frame the king and queen. But I did not die. At that time, my mother protected my heart, and then I was secretly sent outside the palace. Later, after my mother took over the power in the palace, He took me into the palace and raised me secretly. From then on, I became the shadow of my mother."

"After the establishment of the Wuzhou Empire, my mother was ready to make me the emperor. My mother often said that if a man can do anything in the world, a woman can do it too."

"It's just that the ancestor of the Tang Empire would just watch his mother take away the Li family's foundation. So, the man and his mother fought several times, and finally forced her to be seriously injured and died. In fact, no one in the world knows that , my mother was only at the peak level of a grand master at that time. As long as I give her some more time, my mother will definitely be promoted to a land god, so how can she fall? Time is also destiny."

"Before my mother died, she asked me to be the emperor in her name because she was afraid of the fall of the world. What a pity! After all, I failed my mother too much. In just a few years, the Li family overthrew Zhou Litang."

Zhu Qi asked with some confusion: "Since the Li family has been restored, why have you continued to protect the Tang Empire for so many years?"

Wu Zetian said calmly: "The current emperor of the Tang Dynasty is ultimately my mother's bloodline, so I naturally want to protect it. In addition, the Li family can overthrow the Zhou Dynasty and establish the Tang Dynasty, and I can naturally destroy the Tang Dynasty and establish the Zhou Dynasty."

In the past, Zhu Qi was puzzled by the information about the Tang Empire sent back by the Martial Arts Alliance.Now that I think about it, everything makes sense.

Three land gods of the Tang Empire.One is a prince who failed in his bid for the throne; the other is an empress who is waiting for an opportunity to regain her kingdom;
There has been no civil strife in the Tang Empire over the years, and it is a miracle that the empire has not fallen apart.

Zhu Qi went out quietly and brought back a beautiful woman.Zhang Sanfeng and the three people who were studying the bodies of Li Jiancheng and Li Longji all looked sideways.

Seeing the eyes of the three people looking at him, Zhu Qi felt dizzy and hurriedly pointed at the three people and said to Wu Zetian: "This is the Imperial Master, Master Zhang of Wudang; this is the Imperial Envoy, Senior Xiaoyaozi; this is also The empire worships, Patriarch Chen Tuan of Huashan."

Zhu Qi introduced the three of them solemnly, which made the three of them murmur in their hearts.

Dragons do not live with snakes, these three are land gods.Ordinary people are not qualified to interact with them on an equal footing.

A few days ago, they followed Zhu Qi to the Eastern Expedition and only met the prince once.What kind of identity is this woman worthy of Zhu Qi's serious attention?

Seeing that the look of loneliness and suspicion in the eyes of the three people was getting stronger and stronger, Zhu Qi pointed at Wu Zetian and said: "This is the new worshiper who joined the empire, Wu Zetian."

"Wu Zetian!" The three of them were stunned for a while, but Xiaoyaozi was the first to react, cupping his hands in front of Wu Zetian and saying, "But Empress Wu Zhou is in front of her."

Wu Zetian smiled and said: "Wu Zetian has met three Taoist friends."

Zhang Sanfeng and Chen Tuan naturally knew Wu Zetian's name, so they didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly returned the gift.

As the first female emperor in the Chinese continent since ancient times, Wu Zetian is very famous. At least Zhu Qi's current popularity is not as good as Wu Zetian's.

After the three people had finished the ceremony, Wu Zetian saw Li Jiancheng and Li Longji in the room.

With Wu Zetian's cultivation level, he could naturally sense the two people's state of pretending to be dead.It was this state that terrified Empress Wu Zetian.

As a land immortal, Wu Zetian naturally understood how difficult it was to achieve the state of suspended animation with the physique and cultivation of a land immortal.

In fact, not to mention land gods, even warriors above the Grandmaster level, Wu Zetian had never heard of the existence of people who pretend to be dead.

Being able to become a person in suspended animation basically means that the spirit has been severely damaged, and one's own spirit is not enough to control the physical body.However, Wu Zetian refused to believe that the spirit of land gods could not control their physical bodies.Zhu Qi: "Wen Keng, the three land gods of the Tang Empire, Li Jiancheng and Li Longji were captured by me and will be escorted back to the imperial capital later; Wu Zetian has surrendered to the empire and become an imperial enshrinement. This is Wu Zetian's identity token, you hold this Token, the 'Jiedushi' under Wu Zetian will provide internal support for the Eastern Expedition Army. With their cooperation, it will not be difficult for the Eastern Expedition Army to capture the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

Prince Zhu Wenkeng looked at Zhu Qi dumbfounded.

In the past few days, the prince has been worried about the attack of land gods, but everything is calm.

Who would have thought that Zhu Qi suddenly summoned him and said that he had taken down the three land gods of the Tang Empire. This shock was really big.

After finally calming down, the prince asked blankly: "Those three from the Tang Empire, are they really..."

Zhu Qi was not surprised by the prince's gaffe. If he were replaced by the prince at this time, he would probably also lose his temper.

Zhu Qi: "You will be in charge of the Eastern Expeditionary Army. I will leave Master Zhang to help you control the Eastern Expeditionary Army."

Finally, the prince came back to his senses and said with joy on his face: "Grandpa Ninth, don't worry, with the combat power of the Eastern Expedition Army and the Tang Empire as the internal 'Jiedu Envoy', the empire will definitely take over the territory of the Tang Dynasty .”

Zhu Qi nodded and said: "Prince, do you know that I took down three land gods from the Tang Empire, but why only one land god's power was left for the empire to use."

The prince thought for a moment and said, "I thought Grandpa Jiu did this because of the lessons learned from the Northern Territory."

Zhu Qi's expression remained unchanged and he asked: "Why the Northern Territory."

Prince: "Although the Empire quickly captured the Song Empire, the original interest classes in the Song Dynasty did not disappear. In recent years, the Empire invested a lot of manpower and material resources in governing the Northern Territory. I think that the Empire attacked the Tang Dynasty In the empire’s territory, we must abandon the practice of quick victory in the Northern Territory, take this opportunity to smash everything in the Tang territory, and re-establish the rule of the Ming Empire.”

Zhu Qi smiled happily and said: "Prince, you can see this, it's really good! Remember, what the Ming Empire wants is lizi, not face. A territory that is not under the control of the empire has no meaning to the empire. The Tang Dynasty Those in the empire who hinder the future rule of the empire should be killed without mercy."

Prince: "Wen Keng understands!"

Zhu Qi: "If you have this knowledge, I will feel relieved. I will leave the territory of the Tang Dynasty to you. I will return to the imperial capital in a few days!"

Zhu Qidong came to Datang in a hurry and left briskly.

Except for Zhang Sanfeng who was left to take charge of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Zhu Qi packed up the three land gods of the Tang Dynasty and took them to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Longji and Li Jiancheng had no idea that while they were sleeping, the fate of the Tang Empire had been decided.

In addition, Zhu Qi also thought carefully about leaving Zhang Sanfeng to take charge of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Sanfeng's Wudang Sect has been deeply bound to the Ming Empire. With Zhang Sanfeng in charge of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Qi feels most at ease. At the same time, Zhang Sanfeng is also the easiest to persuade among the three.

As a civil force, it is not easy for the Wudang Clan to expand its influence and sphere of influence.
