    However, most of the strategies Li Xian has set during this period are quite commendable. For example, in order to prosper the business in Chang'an City, he postponed the curfew to Zili, and another example is to organize an official bank in the name of the Ministry of Household Affairs to facilitate merchants.  Making deposits and withdrawals in different cities is extremely popular with the people and praised by the world.  Wu Zetian would not be an idiot to attack Li Xian on these matters, not to mention that this was Chen Yi's suggestion.  Chen Yi had mentioned these proposals in the past, but Wu Zetian, who was busy with things, felt that they were not very urgent matters, so she did not pay enough attention to them. After Li Zhi died, there were too many things to be busy with, and a rebellion broke out in the north.  Wu Zetian's mind turned to other aspects, and it was not the end of the year or the beginning of the year.  It can be said that he found an advantage for Li Xian. He got many ministers' suggestions and increased his political achievements.  Wu Zetian only picked those policies that Li Xian implemented very decisively, but after a short period of implementation were proven to be imperfect, even loopholes, and errors, and those policies that were urgently stopped.  Wu Zetian could make a big fuss about these matters, accusing Li Xian of being too impetuous, changing orders every day, and neglecting the country's plans! Naturally, Wu Zetian's idea was immediately followed and uproared, and many ministers stood up in court one after another to accuse Li Xian of being hasty.  .  Li Xian, who was caught off guard, did not expect that his mother would fight back so quickly, but there was no turning back. Li Xian admitted that he was a little hasty in his actions, and also bluntly said that he did this because he wanted to display his ambition and let Datang develop.  He was faster and said bluntly that if the ministers were dissatisfied with him, they could just criticize him and he would accept the remonstrance out of vanity.  In the past, he didn't have many opportunities to supervise the country's affairs. He hopes that the ministers will give him a chance and give him the opportunity to handle affairs personally. He will try his best to avoid making mistakes.  Li Xian¡¯s calm ¡°challenge¡± surprised Wu Zetian.  Originally she thought.  As soon as she shows off her power, Li Xian will immediately surrender to her as before, admit her mistake as a mother, and once again hand over the power to handle major political affairs, and continue to be a tortoise.  But I didn't expect that Li Xian would not repeat his previous performance this time. He behaved very calmly and not calmly, on the basis of admitting his mistakes.  Express his determination to the ministers, and he will govern Datang better.  He also said that as long as the courtiers have good intentions, they hope that the country will be prosperous and the people will be happy.  Even if the palace accuses him, he doesn't care.  A wise child is better than his mother.  Wu Zetian smelled something unusual from Li Xian's behavior.  He knew that his son had grown stronger and wanted to fly solo, so he didn't want her as a mother to point fingers at him anymore.  Of course Wu Zetian would not let it go, and she immediately prepared further actions. When she was preparing to decide how to further suppress Li Xian, she summoned Chen Yi and He Lan Minzhi, the two people she trusted the most, into the palace to inquire about the matter.  "Minzhi. Ziying, you two know best what's going on in the court during this period. I'm not in good health during this period, and I don't pay much attention to court affairs. The emperor made a lot of noise, and there was no news beforehand.  Discuss with me, a mother, and you will also talk to me today, do you want to let her do this?" Wu Zetian, who was sitting on the couch, looked at Chen Yi and He Lan Minzhi who were sitting in front of them and asked.  As soon as Wu Zetian finished speaking, Helan Minzhi replied impatiently: "Aunt, as I see it, I can't let the emperor do whatever he wants. A few days ago, he appointed many officials in the court and even the prime minister in the political hall.  I have been with you for several times, but you didn¡¯t discuss it with your aunt in advance. The emperor wants to get rid of your aunt and you as the queen mother, and handle the matter completely on your own. You can¡¯t let this matter go unchecked. You must warn the emperor!¡± ¡°What do you think, Ziying?  "Wu Zetian was noncommittal to He Lan Minzhi's eager expression and turned to ask Chen Yi.  Chen Yi thought for a while and said ambiguously: "My dear, I think there is something wrong with what uncle Minzhi said. However, there is not much to blame for what your majesty does. After all, he is the emperor, and he is your wife."  The Queen Mother was ill and unable to handle affairs during this period, so she could only leave the affairs of the court to Your Majesty. It can be said that His Majesty did so in a reasonable manner, but His Majesty acted too hastily, and many matters were not fully discussed and detailed.  The demonstration was carried out in a hurry, which cast doubt on the seriousness of the imperial decree. The empress should give sufficient instruction on this point. For other things, I feel that there is not much to blame on the surface. Even when appointing officials, it is your majesty who  This emperor can make his own decisions" Chen Yi was interrupted by He Lan Minzhi before he finished speaking.  "Hey, brother-in-law, you have been appointed to a new position, and you are also serving as minister Zuopushe. Your ranking in the political affairs hall has risen a lot. Your confidant Wei Xuantong is also in the political affairs hall. Of course you will not have any objections to His Majesty's decision.  , you will also be very grateful to him. Without Your Majesty, you would not be able to let this minister's right servant take office now!" He Lan Minzhi said angrily: "Thanks to my aunt for trusting you so much for so many years, you dare to do this to my aunt today.  Speak well of His Majesty in front of me"You are so disappointing!" Both Wu Zetian and Chen Yi were surprised that He Lanmin would be so angry, but Wu Zetian did not say anything to stop him, but let He Lanmin finish his angry words. After He Lanmin finished speaking, he did not say anything.  What, just looked at Chen Yi with indifferent eyes, and then looked at He Lan Minzhi accusing him in front of Wu Zetian. Chen Yi also felt angry, but he still suppressed it and said in a calm tone.  : "Brother Minzhi, you are too excited. I am only considering the issue from the perspective of the empress. I hope the empress will think things through clearly before deciding how to question the emperor. The ministers will not understand that the empress is deliberately making things difficult and does not want your majesty to rule!  It doesn¡¯t mean that His Majesty was promoted to Minister Youpushe and recognized everything he did and became grateful! Everything I have is given by the Empress. Everything I do and say,  It's all for the good of the empress!" "You" Helan Minzhi obviously didn't expect Chen Yi to retaliate like this. The anger in his heart rose again, but he couldn't think of what words to use to accuse him. At this time, Wu Zetian also smoothed things over: "Minzhi, you  Don't be like this. What Ziying said does make some sense. This time I am ill and unable to handle affairs. All court affairs can only be handled by the emperor himself. What the emperor has done can be said to be justified. We cannot blame him in this regard.  If you want him to be more restrained, you must find other ways to correct him! I have called you two here today just to discuss this matter!" After saying that, he glared at the two of them coldly, and then said: "I have called you two here today.  We are here to discuss matters, not to accuse each other. I don't want any grudges between you two!" Hearing what Wu Zetian said, He Lan Minzhi did not dare to say anything more, but he still looked at Chen Yi with an angry look. Chen Yi  I sighed in my heart and could only ignore it. Before this, the two of them had rarely argued in person. This was the first time that they had behaved like this openly in front of Wu Zetian. Of course, this was an unusual first time for all three people present.  Knowing that some conflicts can no longer be tolerated after such a long period of time, Wu Zetian certainly does not want a fight between two trusted people, and Chen Yi does not want to have a dispute with his uncle.  , but the development of things is often independent of human will. As the interests between the two people increase, conflicts will be inevitable. What¡¯s more, there is an element of Wu Zetian¡¯s deliberate "provocation" in it! "Aunt,  Minzhi has remembered it!" He Lan Minzhi quickly responded, glanced at Chen Yi, and seemed to have made some decision through clenched teeth. He stood up, bowed respectfully to Wu Zetian, and said: "Your Majesty, I think your Majesty should seize the opportunity of the Emperor.  The best thing to do is to make a fuss about the wrong things you have done and force the emperor to make concessions. It is best to let your Majesty continue to deal with military and national affairs!" "My Majesty, I agree with the suggestions made by my uncle Minzhi. Your Majesty has implemented many new policies during this period, many of which are  Imperfect policies and too many changes have caused the court's prestige to decline. The empress should seize a few fundamental things, force the emperor to surrender, and still follow your suggestions. For example, regarding tax reform in the commercial field, your majesty has not passed it.  After extensive discussions, I just listened to the suggestion of a doctor from the Ministry of Finance and enforced it. The result almost aroused public outrage. Fortunately, it was stopped quickly. I felt that the empress had done enough on these matters and she could force the emperor to make concessions!  " Chen Yi said, and then told his method.  After Chen Yi finished speaking, Wu Zetian looked thoughtful, then nodded, expressing her approval of what Chen Yi said.  "What Ziying said is very reasonable, Minzhi, do you have any better suggestions?" "Aunt, Minzhi also has some other ideas!" ¡ª¡ª Wu Zetian took action and caught Li Xian  During this period, his eagerness for quick success made a big fuss. With the cooperation of He Lan Minzhi, Li Jingxuan, Pei Yan and others, a storm of criticism against the government was set off in the court. In the end, Li Xian had to give in and gave up part of his power.  , many things were left to Wu Zetian, who was slowly recovering.  The ministers, who originally thought there would be another commotion, breathed a sigh of relief.  Although the fight between mother and son Wu Zetian and Li Xian has eased a bit, which has relieved many ministers who were anxious about a fight between the DPRK and China, Li Xian, who is determined to rise up, is destined not to remain dormant as before.  He has already tasted the taste of real power and enjoyed the lofty glory of the emperor. His forbearance is only temporary, and he will definitely choose the right time to show it again.  As expected, Li Xian only tolerated it for a few months and immediately started taking action again.  At first it was just some small actions, such as asking Wu Zetian if she had done anything wrong after making decisions on many things. After making decisions on some things, she would explain to Wu Zetian that she had not done anything wrong before deciding, on the grounds that she thought such things were not very important.  Reason for reporting.  After so many times, Li Xian became bolder again, and finally made a sudden and very important decision years ago.  That is, on the last court day of the year, Li Xuan, who presided over the court meeting?Announced the establishment of Wei Wang Li Chongrun as the crown prince, and announced the decision on the candidates for the East Palace officials!
