(Thanks to Lao Gan Daddy book friend for the reward and Dark Rider book friend for the monthly pass!) After Li Shimin¡¯s death, Wu Zetian was selected as his concubine by Emperor Li Zhi. Jier became the emperor and took advantage of Li Zhi¡¯s frequent illness. He intervened in the government affairs and eventually took over most of the power of the court. But this does not mean that she can tolerate another woman following in her footsteps and interfering in the government affairs; nor will she allow the power to lapse and let the newly ascended emperor Li Xian do whatever he wants! The current situation is beyond her surprise, not only her son Li Xian didn't listen to her, and another woman, the one who became the new queen, actually wanted to imitate her and interfere in the government affairs. So many members of the Wei family were appointed as high-ranking officials in the court, and Queen Wei's father Wei Xuanzhen was promoted to the rank of minister by Li Xian, ranking in the political hall. This is something Wu Zetian does not want to see in any case! And Wu Zetian also You know, this is what many ministers don¡¯t want to see. A few years ago, Pei Xingjian took charge of the Ministry of Personnel and formulated a very standardized system for the selection and promotion of officials. Over the years, the appointment of officials has basically been carried out in accordance with this system. Only those who are talented and have made great contributions to the court will be judged based on their homework. He was awarded the title of high official and noble title. Even if young officials such as He Lan Minzhi and Chen Yi were ranked in the Political Affairs Hall, it was mainly because they made a lot of contributions to the court, not just because of Wu Zetian's favor. But now, the actions of Emperor Li Xian have destroyed most of the system established by Pei Xingjian. So many officials were promoted out of thin air, which made many officials in the court feel resentful. Even Pei Xingjian, an official who never looked happy on his face, also expressed his anger. Out of anger, many ministers immediately went to the palace to see the emperor Li Xian, asking Li Xian to take back his orders and not to engrave the official for personal reasons, so as to avoid chaos in the court. Of course, more officials invited the Queen Mother Wu Zetian. It was hoped that Wu Zetian would intervene in the emperor's actions. Wu Zetian complied with public opinion and immediately summoned the main senior officials in the DPRK to discuss the matter. Pei Xingjian, Xue Yuanchao, Li Jingxuan, Helan Minzhi, Chen Yi, Cui Zhiwen, Wei Xuantong, Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi, Pei Yan and many other heavyweight ministers were summoned to the Xianju Hall, and the Xianju Hall was packed to the brim! These people Although the ministers summoned had different political views, and some were quite dissatisfied with Wu Zetian's interference in politics, they still had similar attitudes towards Li Xian's absurd promotion of many relatives of the Wei family and the heavy use of Wei Xuanzhen and others. They all opposed the emperor's decision and were very angry at Wei's attempt to imitate Wu Zetian! There has been a woman who has controlled the affairs of the Tang Dynasty for so many years, and no one wants a similar woman to appear again. Weishi came onto the stage of history after Li Xian ascended the throne, which is hated by many people! Another point is that after Wu Zetian was established as queen, the appointment and dismissal of her own children from official positions was completely different from that of Weishi now. Compared with the queen, judging from the posture, Wei Shi is more ruthless than Wu Zetian! Who wants to see Wei Shi take over from Wu Zetian? No one is willing! Chen Yi has also given up his original idea. He has made a decision that he considers to be a satisfactory one. He also believes that this idea will come true, of course Webster will definitely have to sacrifice! This woman. Just take advantage of it. No matter what, she will be abandoned in the end, but she behaved radically and was abandoned a little earlier! He Lan Minzhi was the first to stand up and expressed his anger to Wu Zetian: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty suddenly promoted her The actions of many officials of the Wei family are very absurd, and I feel very unjust. Your Majesty, he must have been deceived by someone, so he made such a ridiculous decision. The Queen Mother must find a way to stop this wrong thing. Continue. Otherwise, Chao Gang will be in chaos!" Pei Yan also stood up immediately and expressed similar opinions: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty is so ridiculous. You made such a decision overnight and promoted and appointed a large number of members of the Wei family. Wei Xuanzhen She was even added to the Political Affairs Hall, which caused an uproar in the court, and the people of the world must have been shocked. The Queen Mother cannot allow her majesty to act recklessly, and must find a way to stop it!" "Yes, if your majesty acts like this, the court will definitely be in chaos!" Wu Zetian, who had been pacing, stood still, faced the ministers, and said coldly: "Dear ministers, since Pei Pu shot the official department, a series of systems for the selection, appointment, and promotion of officials have been formulated. , I didn¡¯t expect that His Majesty would destroy it less than a year after he took the throne. If the late Emperor knew about it, he would definitely be heartbroken! Today, I summon all my dear friends to discuss with you how to prevent Your Majesty from doing this. One wrong act to avoid chaos in the court!" "Empress Dowager, as I see it, Queen Wei Shi must have bewitched Your Majesty and made Your Majesty become like this!" Seeing that Wu Zetian expressed his opinion, Helan Minzhi took advantage of the situation to add fuel to the fire. He said, "Queen Mother, Queen Wei also wants to exercise power and interfere in political affairs. You must not let her succeed! You must find a way to stop it no matter what!" He Lan Minzhi's direct expression made Chen Yi tremble. , the thought of that filledA young woman who was ambitious and had an intimate relationship with him. This woman had been entangled with his interests to a certain extent, but he was now ready to give up. Although I was ready to give up, I still felt weird when I heard He Lan Minzhi say this. Mainly because he and Webster had such a bond, it was always a bit unbearable to deal with the child's mother. Furthermore, Webster is very beautiful, and she is nice to serve in bed But when Chen Yi conspired with Webster at the beginning, he also knew that this was just a cooperation of interests between the two people, and Webster must have thought so, maybe Webster's purpose was more realistic. Even if he didn't take action, the woman would sooner or later turn against him. There was no chance of any luck. If it weren¡¯t for his support, Webster would not have wanted him to appear in this world after Li Chongrun was born. After all, only he and Webster know the truth of this matter. Just as he thought in his heart, if the other party disappears, only one person will know the secret, and Webster must also think so. As long as the other party exists, the secret may be leaked. Therefore, for both him and Webster, the ultimate goal is to make the other party disappear, and there is absolutely no possibility of adultery. Even if there is, it is temporary! Chen Yi also knows that Webster is not a kind person. In order to achieve her own goals, she may use any means, and anyone close to her may become her victim. To a certain extent, Webster and Wu Zetian are similar. They both have ambitions and will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. This can be seen from the deeds of the two people recorded in history. Political struggles are sometimes cruel. Chen Yi knew this very well. He also knew that in order to achieve his ultimate goal, both Webster and Wu Zetian must become his pawns or victims. In this fight between two women, there will always be a winner or loser, and the loser is destined to have no possibility of repaying his or her capital. Whether it is political life or anything else, it may end. While Chen Yi was deep in thought, Wu Zetian asked again: "Dear ladies, in your opinion, what countermeasures should be taken to make His Majesty correct his mistakes?" "Queen Mother, you should persuade Your Majesty to correct your mistakes! "After Wu Zetian's question, Pei Xingjian was the first to stand up and express his opinion. Wu Zetian turned his eyes to Pei Xingjian and asked in a calm tone: "But what if the emperor does not listen to the advice and insists on his own way?" Before Pei Xingjian could answer, He Lan Minzhi took the lead and replied in a very decisive tone: "The Queen Mother, before the death of the late emperor, , you are entrusted with the right to make the final decision on military and national affairs. If your Majesty really does not listen to the advice and insists on going her own way, the Queen Mother can take extraordinary measures!" He Lan Minzhi's words made Wu Zetian's heart skip a beat, and also made many ministers change their expressions. Everyone was shocked. I know what He Lan Minzhi meant! Seeing that Wu Zetian did not rebuke him, and no other ministers stood up to object, He Lan Minzhi became bolder, "Queen Mother, for the ten thousand years of the Tang Dynasty, many times and many things have been sacrificed. It is a last resort! If Your Majesty really insists on going his own way, I believe that the Queen Mother will take any measures, and the ministers will support it! If Your Majesty really insists on going her own way, and the Queen Mother takes any measures, I will give her full support!" Wu Zetian was silent after hearing this, and other ministers were there. After being surprised, many people were already exchanging glances there. However, Chen Yi looked indifferent and did not exchange eyes with anyone, which made Wei Xuantong, Di Renjie and others quite anxious. He Lanmin once again expressed his intention in front of Wu Zetian, why didn't Chen Yi take the initiative? At this time, Pei Xingjian stood up again, saluted Wu Zetian and said: "Queen Mother, as I see it, your Majesty may have been temporarily deceived by people's rhetoric. If someone tries to persuade her, she may suddenly realize it and take back what she has done." Decision! I am willing to go over and advise His Majesty!¡± To the end of benevolence and righteousness. Chen Yi's statement made Wei Xuantong, Di Renjie and others feel relieved. They all said that they should remonstrate with the emperor and ask him to take back whatever he had done before, and not to mess up the imperial court! Although He Lan Minzhi was a little unwilling, he looked at Wu Zetian's eyes and said Next, I didn¡¯t stand up to express my opposition. "Since all the beloved ministers have said so, I also agree to let the beloved ministers first advise the emperor face to face. If the emperor insists on going his own way and is unwilling to listen to the advice of this palace and all beloved ministers, then we will make further plans! "Wu Zetian said, walked back to the couch and sat down, glanced at the ministers present, and then said: "Then let the two Pei Aiqing, Wu Aiqing, Chen Aiqing, and Xue Aiqing go to Penglai Palace to persuade the emperor! Oh! Are you here? All your dear friends, please go together. There are more people, and we can let Your Majesty know where the people's hearts are!" "Yes, Queen Mother!"The ministers named Pei Xingjian, Xue Yuanchao, Helan Minzhi, Pei Yan, Chen Yi and others who followed, such as Di Renjie and others, saluted in unison and responded to the order. After receiving Wu Zetian¡¯s order, no one was delayed. He immediately left the Xianju Hall and went to Penglai Hall, preparing to admonish Li Xian face to face!
