Chapter 21 Lizi
"Buzz!"
As soon as Wu Zetian finished speaking, the hall exploded.
The ministers were all surprised and looked in disbelief.
As we all know, Wu Zetian favored Wu family and did not hesitate to indulge his nephews such as Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi. This is the reason why Wu family acted as a mighty and unlawful act.
However, Li was at a disadvantage. Although Li Xian was Wu Zetian's own son, he was sent to Fangzhou by Wu Zetian. He was unable to return to Beijing for more than ten years, which was equivalent to letting Li Xian die on his own.
As for Li Dan's son, Wu Zetian also didn't take him seriously. He scolded him if he wanted to scold him, and scolded him if he wanted to scold him. Even Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi were harsh on Li Dan, and Wu Zetian turned a blind eye.
But today, Wu Zetian openly said in front of the ministers that "a nephew is not as good as a son's relative" and this was the first time.
This means that the Wu family has completely lost its position in Wu Zetian's mind, which means that the Li family's status will rise sharply.
With such a huge change, the ministers thought of the two words "changing the sky". Who can not be surprised?
Di Renjie was also very surprised, and his mouth opened, but he couldn't speak.
"A nephew is not as good as a son's relative." This is an important basis for Di Renjie to oppose the Wu family as the crown prince. Moreover, Di Renjie said this more than once, but said it many times. However, whenever he said this, Wu Zetian would not openly appreciate it, but would only agree with it a little.
This is the first time that I openly agree today.
"This means that Your Majesty has made a decision on the establishment of the prince." After all, Di Renjie was a person who had experienced great storms and soon realized: "The position of the prince is Li!"
Zhang Jianzhi, Song Jing, and Zhang said that these talented and quick-witted people thought about this quickly and looked pleased.
The issue of the establishment of the prince has been arguing for almost ten years, and finally the result was achieved. And it was the Li family they supported who won. They couldn't help but be happy.
"It is inevitable that Li's family will become the prince. This is just one step ahead of time, and there is a second step to operate." Li Longji nodded slightly.
The position of this crown prince is Li Dan. Only in this way can Li Longji become emperor and create the prosperous era of Kaiyuan. To achieve this goal, Wu Zetian must first make Li the crown prince, but only then can he determine who he is.
"No!" Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi heard it in their ears. They were shaking like thunder, shaking and almost fainting.
In the past, Wu clan gained the upper hand, and Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi were proud of their spring breeze, and they wanted to get the wind and rain. Now, the situation has turned upside down, and Li clan gained the upper hand, and Wu clan gained the upper hand. They were even further away from the position of the prince, so they had no choice but to be in a hurry.
"I dare to ask Your Majesty. Why do you say this?" Wu Sansi was anxious, and asked loudly without caring about anything else.
These words were exactly what the ministers thought, and they agreed in unison.
There was a big debate last time about the establishment of the prince, and it was difficult to make a conclusion, so Wu Zetian was very annoyed. It was only a matter of time that Wu Zetian had made a decision. What happened during this period?
"Hmph!" Wu Zetian snorted coldly, glaring at Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi coldly.
The two of them felt that Wu Zetian's eyes were like a knife, and they shrank their necks and did not dare to show off.
"Two dogs and have the face to ask." Wu Zetian was furious and hated Wu Chengsi.
"What's going on?" Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi looked at each other, and saw that the other party was confused.
Until now, they have not figured out what the problem is.
It has not been long since the last time I negotiated to establish the prince. What happened has caused Wu Zetian to make a 180-degree turn to the two of them. They really can't figure out what happened.
"Is it because of fasting?" Suddenly, the two seemed to have realized something.
Wu Zetian sat down, slowed down the golden mouth, and said, "The matter of establishing a prince has been arguing, and this debate has been almost ten years. Over the years, I have been thinking about whether to establish a nephew or a son, but it is difficult to make a conclusion. Recently, I have received guidance from a master and have a plan and decided to test it. So, I have to fast for the seventh and eighth and the two dogs. I want to see who is more sincere."
"It's true that fasting is fasting." Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi suddenly realized, their faces pale without a trace of blood.
They knew best what the two of them did about fasting. They ate and drank all day long and were fat and fat. They could tell at a glance that they could tell without further ado.
Even if they were full of mouths, they would not want to defend themselves.
The ministers looked at Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi, and then looked at Li Dan and Li Xian, and suddenly realized his mind and nodded slightly.
Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi were fat and fat, Li Dan and Li Xian were so hungry that they were skinny. Even the blind man could tell that Wu Zetian was so moved.
"Your Majesty is still good. If I had to kill these two dogs," the ministers thought in their hearts.
As a nephew who was highly anticipated by Wu Zetian, he was so insincere that his ministers were worthless for Wu Zetian.
"Those two dogs bribed the guards. They were delicious and delicious all day long, and were even more free and comfortable than in their own mansion." Wu Zetian's face was cold and his eyes were like a sharp sword, scraping them around Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi.
If the eyes could kill people, Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi would be broken.
"Your Majesty, I know my mistake, but I know my mistake." Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi felt the world spinning, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to apologize.
If they could do it again, they would rather go hungry than do such a deceitful thing again.
"The seventh and eighth old men are sincere and filial. After hungry for so many days, they are all skinny and sincere, but they are still sincere." Wu Zetian looked at Li Xian and Li Dan, with soft eyes and kind faces.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to Your Majesty! This virtuous son!" The ministers congratulated each other.
"Yes." Wu Zetian was extremely useful, and he focused on the key points.
Today, Wu Zetian realized that her nephew was not as good as her son's relatives. She felt it deeply and could not enjoy the congratulations to the ministers.
"Fortunately, the old man of the country often reminds me that I have not been hasty in the establishment of a crown prince. Otherwise, I would have regretted it!" Wu Zetian sighed again.
If Di Renjie hadn't tried his best to resist, Wu Zetian would have made Wu Sansi the crown prince. If one day he found out that Wu Sansi was not sincere. He just wanted to gain the country, but Wu Zetian wouldn't be angry to death?
"Wu Sansi..." Wu Zetian's eyes flashed and he shouted loudly.
"I... are here." Wu Sansi shuddered and said tremblingly.
"... Listen to the seal." Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows.
"What? What? What? Your Majesty wants to reward Wu Sansi?"
"Did I hear it wrong? Is there something wrong with my ear?"
The ministers heard it in surprise and looked confused.
"Your Majesty, no."
"Your Majesty, Wu Sansi is a wolf-like ambition. He is ill-behaved and has no sincerity. He is unfilial to Your Majesty. You must not reward him."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Such unkind and unrighteous people should be dealt with heavily and should not be rewarded."
The ministers hurriedly advised and stopped him, and their voices were as loud as thunder.
"Reward me?" Wu Sansi was also confused, looking like I didn't hear clearly.
"I heard it wrong?" Wu Sansi asked Wu Chengsi.
"It seems that there may be nothing wrong." Wu Chengsi was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and then he was overjoyed. He said, "Your Majesty still hasn't forgotten us. He must make you the prince."
As he was talking, Wu Chengsi was just envious, jealous and hatred, and wanted to change it with Wu Sansi.
According to his thoughts, Wu Zetian must have been the crown prince of Wu Sansi. Otherwise, why would he be rewarded when Wu Sansi loses power? Wu Sansi becomes the crown prince, so he will not have anything to do with Wu Chengsi, so he can't help but be angry.
"What? I am the crown prince?" Wu Sansi was stunned, and then he was filled with joy, with a red face, kneeling on the ground with a loud bang, kowtowed to Wu Zetian, and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness! I must guard Your Majesty's country and let the country pass on forever."
"Oh! Your Majesty is confused." The ministers also believed that Wu Zetian wanted to make Wu Sansi the crown prince, and looked unwilling.
"Puchi!" Only Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi, Song Jing, and Zhang said that these ingenious ministers saw Wu Sansi's appearance in their eyes, and were very disdainful and laughed out loud.
"Wu Sansi, Wu Sansi, you are such a stupid pig." Li Longji saw it and shook his head fiercely, with a sarcastic look on his face.
"Wu Sansi, you have no sincerity and filial piety, but I cannot be without kindness. In the sense that you are my nephew, I will give you the King of Liang." Wu Zetian said lightly.
"I am the prince! I am the prince!" Wu Sansi was so happy that he shouted in his heart.
"What? King Liang? Not the prince?" After a long time, Wu Sansi came back and was stunned on the spot.
Wu Sansi thought Wu Zetian would make him the crown prince, but he didn't expect that he was just named King of Liang, and he was greatly disappointed.
"I understand." A minister reacted and was very happy and said, "Your Majesty is to give him a throne for the sake of his relatives, so that they can enjoy wealth and glory. This is the end of his life."
"What's wrong? Not satisfied?" Wu Zetian's face sank.
Of course, if you are not satisfied, you must be made the crown prince, and you will definitely be dissatisfied with a mere King of Liang.
However, Wu Sansi didn't dare to say it, and said with a bitter look on his face, "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness! Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness!"
"Wu Chengsi heard the title of the title." Wu Zetian glared at Wu Chengsi.
Being awarded is a great thing, and countless people want but cannot get it. However, Wu Chengsi was frightened and kneeled on the ground with a look of frustration.
He also understood that when he came here, his life would stop there and he would not be made the crown prince.
"I named Wu Chengsi the King of Wei." Wu Zetian said coldly, without any enthusiasm, as if this was a gift.
That's right, this is alms!
With the fraud of Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi, Wu Zetian was extremely disappointed with them and could have cut them off as the people, but because of his old love, he named them kings. This was a real charity.
"Thank you Your Majesty." Wu Chengsi thanked him weakly.
Wu Zetian withdrew his gaze, stood up, and shouted: "It's time to make a decision on the establishment of the prince. I have decided: The prince should establish his son!"
