Long live Emperor Wu!

Three days later, Zhaoqing Hall.

The ceremony to worship the heaven was held the day before, and many memorials had been accumulated without approval, so Li Shan ordered the remaining memorials to be moved to Zhaoqing Hall, where they were still busy until the lights were turned on at night.

The maids and chamberlains were all guarding the door.

Wu Rou took off the gauze cover of the palace lantern on the table and used a copper needle to pick the wick of the candle. The light in the hall suddenly became brighter again.

Li Shan, who was reading the memorial, put his forehead on his head and lowered his eyes. He was so focused that he didn't even notice that the light was dimming. When the light came on, he felt his eyes relax and he suddenly felt much better.

He quickly sat up straight, raised his head and shook his stiff neck.

Wu Rou moved her position, knelt down behind him, squeezed his shoulders and loosened his cervical vertebrae.

Li Shan raised his face, closed his eyes, and sighed:

"Hey...sitting like this every day, I feel like I won't live much longer..."

When Wu Rou heard this, she paused for a moment, then used her hand to squeeze him hard.

"Hey...it hurts." Li Shan yelled softly.

"You deserve it! I told you to talk nonsense at such a young age, what should you say?" Wu Rou lectured him mercilessly.

Li Shan opened his eyes, reached out and pulled off her claws, pulled Wu Rou and fell into his arms, pretending to be angry and said:

"You are getting bolder and bolder. Now you dare to pinch me?!"

Wu Rou smiled, quickly got up from his arms, and said:

"I was wrong, hurry up and read it. Let's take a rest after reading it."

As she said that, she unfolded the memorial she had not read and placed it in front of him, which happened to be Liu Shi's resignation letter.

Li Shan took a glance, skipped those high-sounding words, sneered and said:

"He is quite aware of current affairs."

Wu Rou raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and smiled, with a smile that sounded like a villain's success.

Li Shan turned to look at her and saw her exposed eyes, shining with joy, looking at him unblinkingly.

"Why are you laughing?" Li Shan couldn't help but ask.

"It's all thanks to me that he knows the current affairs so well. That day he went to the palace to see the queen. I got the letter and went immediately. I gave him a few compliments."

Wu Rou put down her hand, turned her eyes upward, and twisted her body to ask for help, looking arrogant.

The smile on Li Shan's face became even bigger, with admiration in his eyes, and he said:

"You're quite capable. Has anyone in the Queen's Palace reported to you?"

Wu Rou moved to his side in a pretentious manner, pretending to be embarrassed and said:

"Oh...it's not all dependent on His Majesty's favor. Those palace maids and servants will definitely fawn over me."

Li Shan thought to himself, how could it be so simple.

She was a queen and had already established a prince. If she hadn't been too rude and harsh towards the servants and maids, how could those who followed her have turned to outsiders so easily?

He smiled and asked:

"What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything, so I mentioned the matter of Changsun Wuji. The main reason was that His Majesty was wise and determined to deal with Changsun Wuji, which scared Liu Shi.

This person is similar to a dog. If he is always nice to him, he will regard himself as his master. His tail will be raised to the sky. If he beats him a few times from time to time, he will become honest. "

Wu Rou said while rubbing his arm sleeves.

The position on the sleeve happened to be embroidered with a dragon, and Wu Rou's hands felt as if they were touching small animals, with a smooth feeling.

Li Shan looked down at her hand, suddenly hissed, and said in confusion: "I didn't feel that before... Today, I suddenly realized that you seem to be flattering me all the time."

Wu Rou raised her head, hugged his arm and said flatteringly:

"Really? But Ah Rou is sincere. Your Majesty has the thickest thighs in the world. If I don't hug you tighter, wouldn't it be a loss?"

Li Shan looked at her, his eyes flashing, then turned his head, picked up the pen and wrote the word "accurate" on the memorial, then dragged it aside to dry, and said:

"...I know what you are thinking now."

"What am I thinking about?" Wu Rou asked with her face raised.

"You are thinking that Changsun Wuji has been exiled, Liu Shi has resigned, the queen's two main supporters have fallen, and the emperor's son has been born. When will the abolition of the queen officially begin?"

Wu Rou smiled even wider and said very frankly:

"Kuroro and I have a good connection."

Li Shan smiled, stretched out his hand to lift her hair, his eyes were very tolerant and doting, and said:

"Don't worry, wait a moment. The court is in such great turmoil right now, and many positions need to be filled. Pei Xingjian's selection system comes in handy. We can wait until the positions of the courtiers are almost determined."

Wu Rou was a little unhappy in her heart. She had been waiting for this day, waiting for this day to be completely proud, so that she could take revenge on the Wu brothers.

"Why? What does deposing a queen have to do with replacing an official?"

Li Shan unfolded another memorial, turned his head and looked at her seriously, and said:

"You and I have a special relationship. The establishment of a queen is a big deal and cannot be done without the consent of the courtiers.

If I do it forcefully, it is very likely that because of this matter, people will think that I am an immoral and ignorant king, and the monarch and his ministers will be alienated, causing turmoil in the court. "

As he spoke, he turned his head and said with a heavy expression:

"Besides, I hope this thing succeeds once and for all. Public opinion is very difficult to reverse.

If when the time comes, the matter of establishing a queen is discussed, and the result is denied by the strong wind, it will create the impression that you are not qualified to be a queen.

At that time, it will be difficult to reverse this impression, unless you have some great merits.

Great achievements and great virtues require opportunities and fate. It is difficult for a person to do something that will be praised by the world in his lifetime. What will happen then? "

Wu Rou listened carefully, thought about it, then nodded and said:

"I know. In the next period of time, I will listen more to everyone's opinions, relatives of the emperor, meritorious veterans, their wives and daughters, win over those who need to be wined over, and lobby those who need to be persuaded."

She suddenly remembered something, raised her face and said:

"I suddenly thought of a person. If she can help me, then our chances of success will be greater."

"Who?"

"The two concubines, Emperor Taizong's Concubine Wei and Concubine Yan De, both of them have a good relationship with me. They are highly respected and have connections with civil servants and generals. Each of them has a small half.

As long as they can support me as queen and ask them to help me lobby, the chance of success will be much higher. "

Li Shan's eyes flashed, he nodded and said:

"That's true... but will they agree? I think it's a great consideration if they don't object."

"Your Majesty, you can order the two of you to come into the palace, and I'll give it a try."

"Okay." Li Shan responded and immersed himself in the memorial again, his expression a little heavy.

Wu Rou saw something was wrong with him and asked:

"Your Majesty, doesn't he like that I am anxious about establishing a queen?"

Li Shan said with some melancholy:

"No... I just think of the people from the past, and then think about it now, how many are left? This road is really a lonely road..."
