Chapter 23 Wu Zetian is a little annoying

"I'm so annoying! I'm so annoying!" After Wu Zetian retreated from court, he did not return to the bedroom, but went directly to the Buddhist temple.

When Huibian saw Wu Zetian coming, he hurried to greet her and said, "I have seen Your Majesty."

"Master is not etiquette." Wu Zetian waved his hand and said, "I am upset, come to the Buddhist temple to calm down."

"Your Majesty, why are you worried?" Huibian was surprised and said, "Didn't you make a decision on the establishment of the prince?"

"Go in and talk." Wu Zetian took the lead in entering the Buddhist temple, sat down on the beautiful cushion, and said, "The matter of establishing the prince is not that simple. First, I was worried about establishing the Wu clan or Li clan. With the help of the master, I made a decision on this matter. However, the troubles came again. Just now, in the court, the ministers argued about establishing the seventh clan or the eighth clan. In the end, even Taiping came to intervene."

"So that's it." Huibian nodded.

"The old ministers of the country, Zhang Jianzhi and other old ministers support Lao Qi, they believe that the elders and young should be orderly; Song Jing, Yao Chong, and Zhang said that these young people support Lao Ba, they think that they should be established as the wise; Dou Huaizhen, Xiao Zhizhong and others support Taiping and want me to make Taiping the princess." Wu Zetian's brows frowned very tightly, forming the character Sichuan, and said: "The elders and eighths and Taiping each have their own power, and they have a great momentum. If one is not good, something big will happen."

Huibian was a little puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, are you saying this too much? The ministers in the court, led by the elders of the country, and with the support of the elders of the country, are the most powerful."

Di Renjiede is respected and has a great influence. If he can get his support, it is safe to be able to do so. Wu Zetian doesn’t have to worry about it. This is what makes Huibian confused.

"Master. It's not as simple as you said." Wu Zetian looked irritated. He said, "The Lord of the Kingdom is highly respected and has a great influence, but he is not young anymore. How many years can he support him? It's that Zhang Jianzhi. Although he is very talented and not inferior to the Lord of the Kingdom, his age is even older than the Lord of the Kingdom. If I make Lao Qi the crown prince, the Lord of the Kingdom and Zhang Jianzhi are gone. Who will support him?"

Di Renjie's advantage lies in his respect and great influence, but his disadvantage is also obvious, that is, his age is too old and he will not live for a few years. If Wu Zetian made Li Xian the crown prince, then, old ministers like Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi are gone, who will assist Li Xian?

This is a big deal, and we must not ignore it.

"Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang said that these young people are young and strong, and have extraordinary talents. Especially Yao Chong, who has the talent of the house and Du. If they support Lao Qi, there will be no worries about the resignation of the young, but they tend to be Lao Ba." Wu Zetian spread his hands and said, "If I make Lao Ba the crown prince, there will be someone who succeeds, but this level is sad. Guo Lao and Zhang Jianzhi and others will definitely oppose it."

Yao Chong, Song Jing and Zhang said that their advantage lies in their youth and strength, as well as their future pillars, and their disadvantage lies in their inability to overcome this level.

"As for Taiping, she has been secretly planning for many years, and many people support her. If I make her the princess, the seventh and eighth ones will strongly oppose it and will not be at peace." Wu Zetian sighed helplessly and said, "Why is the matter of establishing the prince so annoying?"

Wu Zetian was extremely smart and good at planning and making decisions. He had countless doubts in his life, but he was difficult to make decisions about the establishment of the crown prince. In the past, he could not make decisions about whether to establish the Wu family or the Li family, but now he was difficult to make decisions about who to establish.

"It's hard to deal with, it's really hard to deal with." Huibian also thought this was a tricky thing.

"If you want to say talent, Taiping is far better than the seventh and eighth brothers, so it is not impossible to establish her." Wu Zetian thought for a while and said, "But, Sanlang is extremely smart, not under Taiping, and even more so. If Lao Ba is established, it would be passed on to two kings in one pass, and with Sanlang's talent, he would definitely be able to manage my country in a bunch of flowers."

"Your Majesty, are you more inclined to the imperial heir?" Huibian asked.

"If you look at it in the long run, Lao Ba is better." Wu Zetian said without saying anything, "If you look at it in front of you, Taiping is better. As for Lao Qi, his ears are too soft and he has no opinion. In fact, Lao Ba is not independent and cannot make decisions, but if Sanlang is there, it will be fine."

"Each person has his own good and his own shortcomings. Your Majesty, it's better not to make a decision and wait and see what's going on." Huibian gave an idea.

"Watch the changes?" Wu Zetian nodded as if he had some insight, and said, "Master Xie reminds me. I will not move first, and see how they are doing it first. Well, that's it."

"I've seen the princess." In Princess Taiping's mansion, people came and went, and people kept coming.

Zhang Yizhi, Zhang Changzong, Dou Huaizhen, Xiao Zhizhong and others arrived one after another.

Even Shangguan Wan'er is here.

Shangguan Wan'er has a very good relationship with Princess Taiping. She can be said to be a "best friend". The two are so good that they can say everything.

Moreover, Shangguan Wan'er is Princess Taiping's think tank. Whenever Princess Taiping has something to do, she will consult Shangguan Wan'er.

Now we have to discuss robbing the position of crown prince, Shangguan Wan'er is naturally coming.

Princess Taiping held a banquet and asked everyone to sit down. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, she said, "I invite you to come today to discuss how I become the princess. I believe you all know the situation in the court, so you can speak freely."

"The situation in the court has been clear. King Luling, the royal heir and the princess have their own power. In comparison, the royal heir has the greatest power and is the most terrifying." Dou Huaizhen was the first to speak, saying: "In my opinion, if the prince wants to become the prince's daughter, he must first defeat the royal heir."

The imperial heir of Li Dan is a stumbling block for Princess Taiping. If Li Dan cannot be removed, she, the imperial daughter, would not have thought about it.

"That's right." Xiao Zhizhong also agreed with this and said: "The emperor's heir has no talent, and he cannot make a decision. His backbone is the King of Chu. As long as the king of Chu is removed, the emperor's heir will be finished."

"Li Longji?" Zhang Changzong's eyes were about to spurt fire, and his teeth were itchy with hatred.

Li Longji deposed Zhang Changzong, and when he mentioned Li Longji, Zhang Changzong was very angry.

"Sixth brother, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Don't ruin the princess's major affairs with a moment of anger." Zhang Yizhi reminded him, saying: "As long as the princess's major affairs are accomplished, this kind of revenge will definitely be avenged."

"That's right." Princess Taiping looked at Zhang Yizhi with admiration and said, "In my opinion, the seventh brother and the starling brother are not scary. What's scary is that Sanlang is not eliminated, it will be difficult for me to succeed. As long as you help me succeed, it will definitely meet your wish."

Princess Taiping's cruel person, last time when Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi falsely accused Li Dan's family, they wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Li Dan, but they were destroyed by Li Longji. In order to get ahead, she would not be ruthless even if she got rid of Li Longji.

"The princess is right. The King of Luling and the Emperor's Heroes are not scary. They do not have the talent of extraordinary people and cannot make decisions. It is not difficult for the princess to replace them. The difficulty lies in how to get rid of Li Longji." Shangguan Wan'er spoke at the right time, her voice was crisp and pleasant, very pleasant: "Do you have a clever plan?"

Li Longji was very talented and made great contributions. He had a high reputation in the court and the army, and his power was very strong. If Li Longji was eliminated, Duke Taiping would not even think about becoming the emperor and the princess.

"Tell Your Majesty that Li Longji has a strange intention and wants to rebel, and that we have our brothers and Wan'er will definitely succeed." Zhang Yizhi said with an idea.

"It's useless." Shangguan Wan'er immediately rejected it and said, "The most terrifying thing about Li Longji is that he can do his own interests openly and get the recognition of His Majesty. He used open conspiracy. Not to mention anything else, just talking about his placement of people, he was indeed cultivating his own power, but he was doing it openly. Even his control of the garrison of the Shendu was told that he was familiar with Chen Xuanli and the others, and he used it easily. Once something happened, he could control the situation quickly. Your Majesty also recognized this."

Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi impeached Li Longji not just because it was groundless, but very reasonable. However, Li Longji put in the installation of people and cultivated power in a blatant manner, which made people have to believe it. He used open conspiracy.

"Wan'er is right. This is the most terrifying thing about Sanlang." Princess Taiping agreed with this and said: "Now Sanlang has entered the Ministry of War, controlled the military power, and even controlled the Luoyang garrison. He is very powerful. Even if His Majesty's decision is made, he can overthrow if necessary."

What power is more terrifying and powerful than military power? If Li Longji controls military power, it means he has the most powerful power. No one should avoid attacking him. If it violates his interests, even Wu Zetian will not be able to do anything.

"I made a mistake at the beginning and shouldn't have let him go to the Ministry of War." Dou Huaizhen regretted it very much.

"That's useless." Shangguan Wan'er saw it clearly and said: "The demise of the Turkic king can be said to be the one hand of the King of Chu. Without the King of Chu, there would be no such great victory. He has a high reputation in the army and his words are very easy to use. No matter who controls the Ministry of War, as long as the King of Chu speaks, he has to handle it. Whether he goes to the Ministry of War or not is the same."

Indeed, with Li Longji's reputation in the army, his words are orders, which are even better than Wu Zetian's words. As long as he speaks and wants to place someone in a position, the people in charge of the Ministry of War will definitely do it.

"If I had known this, I would have stopped him from going to the north that day." Princess Taiping regretted it very much and said, "After all, I underestimated him. Not only did I underestimate him, but even His Majesty also underestimated him. Well, it should be said that everyone in the world underestimated him."

If Li Longji was stopped from going to the north to participate in the war last year, he would not have had such troubles. But at that time, who would take Li Longji seriously?

It is Wu Zetian, Wang Xiaojie, and Princess Taiping. They all think that Li Longji went to the north just to "get" some military achievements, rather than "building" military achievements, and they would not have thought that Li Longji had made such great military achievements.

Now that I think about it, it's too late.

"Or what, we will send assassins to assassinate the King of Chu." Zhang Changzong said hatefully.

"Assassination? Not bad!" An echoed voice.

"Yes." Princess Taiping's eyes lit up.

"It's useless." Shangguan Wan'er quarreled and said, "The King of Chu is very skilled, which is well known. Not to mention, he has good hands to protect him when he goes in and out. Who can get close to him?"

Li Longji can kill the warriors who have chosen thousands of choices, and his skills can be imagined. Moreover, he has strict access and security, so it is difficult to assassinate Li Longji.
