Chapter 216 Admiral Tian Policy
Wu Yizong left with his son who was beaten half to death. After Wu Yizong left... Princess Taiping turned around and looked at Ang Lee and Xue Chongxun and said, "Where are the two girls?"
Ang Lee replied: "Wang Jiasanlang is injured, I will ask them to go back to Zhenjia Village first...!"
"Okay...!" Princess Taiping nodded and said, "This time, my aunt wants to thank An'er for being willing to dispatch troops to my aunt. I owe you a favor and will definitely pay it back in the future... Your cousin, you should take more care of it in the future.
If you have any questions, try to find my aunt. In Luoyang, I have never been afraid of anyone...!"
"Yes..." Ang Lee bowed.
At this time, Princess Taiping looked at Xue Chongxun and said, "Chongxun has suffered a grievance, but it would be better if you have suffered this grievance today, so that you can understand your situation.
But don't be afraid... I can hold on to you... But you also have to work hard and try to get along with the women of the Lu family, for you and for me...!"
"I understand...mother." Xue Chongxun nodded as well.
"Okay...you all go back... go to Zhenjia Village to take good care of the two girls, and I will deal with it here..."
"As for orders..."
After Princess Taiping said that, Ang Lee and Xue Chongxun quickly took the order, walked out of Xielou together, and went straight back to Zhenjia Village. What happened today, you thought it would be over, of course it would be gone.
Today's incident has a lot of meaning. Princess Taiping suddenly appears, but in fact it is to release her own signal. What kind of signal... It's very simple. Princess Taiping is about to take power.
This is showing off his strength to all people in Luoyang.
There are three thousand princess guards, but the Wu family has no one. What does this mean? It means that Princess Taiping is Wu Zetian's daughter, or the princess who is loved by thousands of people.
Wu Yanqing's unintentional words, Princess Taiping came out to make a big fuss, and she also told her mother that she had to take some rights in her hands, otherwise, the Wu family would not recognize her as her own people.
Also, let Wu Zetian know that she was going to marry the Lu family, and Princess Taiping used Wu Yanqing to kill three birds with one stone... This woman was also quite terrifying.
"Cousin...thank you...!"
Riding on the horse, Xue Chongxun looked at Ang Lee warmly and thanked him.
Ang Lee shook his head and said, "It's okay... what's the point of thanking us... But today I saw my aunt's strong side. If one day I offend my aunt, you must plead for me."
"Haha..." Xue Chongxun looked at Ang Lee with a smile and said, "Don't worry... Even if I die, I will definitely not let my mother touch you..."
"Haha..." Xue Chongxun's words made Ang Lee smile happily, and then he heard Ang Lee say, "Well, don't you like chrysanthemums... Today I go to Zhenjia Village, my cousin, I will give you a crystal chrysanthemum...!"
"Really...! Thank you cousin...!" Xue Chongxun jumped happily.

Imperial Palace Jixian Palace
"Ling Yue was indeed out..." Wu Zetian sighed.
Shangguan Wan'er said slightly: "It's also a pity that Wu Yanqing is too arrogant. He says that...!"
"Yes... I'm also blaming me. I was so anxious at that time, so I could only use the Wu family's children, but the Wu family's children could not withstand the baptism of power at all... All of these people in the Wu family could not help them.
If...I say if, one of them has half of my Qilin grandson... Then my position is theirs...!"
"Your Majesty...!" Shangguan Wan'er bowed and asked, "What does Princess Taiping want?"
"Power..." Wu Zetian said: "What Ling Yue did today is to tell me that she wants to protect herself. Now... If Ling Yue also enters the court, the balance will definitely tilt.
By that time, I may not be able to help me up, so...!"
Wu Zetian looked at Shangguan Wan'er slightly, and then seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Tonight, you go to Zhenjia Village to announce my secret order and appoint Ang Lee as General Tiance... I will give him three years to train an army of 30,000 people... This army cannot be published to the public, and must be trained secretly.
Tell An'er that I may have to rely on him to turn the tide in the future.”
"Abide by the order..." Shangguan Wan'er bowed.
Li Lingyue is the main power of Duke Taiping, which means that the court, which was originally balanced with three legs, was about to be tilted. Wu Zetian had found a way out for himself, and the way out for him was Ang Lee. Wu Zetian believed that his Qilin grandson must be the one who was most loyal to him.
Therefore, Ang Lee was named General Tiance.
The old minister of Li Tang, the power of the Wu family, Wu Zetian was originally a three-legged tripod, but now Princess Taiping comes in, so the balance will tilt, because Princess Taiping must not enter alone, she will unite with the aristocratic family. Once the balance is broken, Wu Zetian may have a way in the past, but now Wu Zetian is too old and his energy can't keep up.
So Wu Zetian directly chose the most direct method to protect himself with absolute strength. Ang Lee was Wu Zetian's last weight.
At this time, Wu Zetian revealed a little helplessness. She had never been willing to let her daughter touch the court. In fact, Wu Zetian was not bad for her daughter, but was protecting Princess Taiping.
Many people believe that Princess Taiping is the closest to becoming the second queen, but Wu Zetian knew that Princess Taiping could not compare with him at all.
First of all, the starting point is different. Princess Taiping is too weak. Compared with Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping's foundation is too weak. Compared with the two, it is equivalent to Wu Zetian being a sweeping monk with a century-old foundation in martial arts, while Princess Taiping is more like You Tanzhi, who became a monk halfway through the journey.
Before Wu Zetian ascended the throne, even when Emperor Gaozong of Tang was still in power, she had already begun to cultivate her own power. She cultivated her trusted forces in both the center and the local government. During her tenure as queen, she interfered in the imperial examinations and promoted a large number of Jinshi talents who were also from lower aristocratic backgrounds, such as Zhang Jianzhi and others.
Moreover, when Wu Zetian was the queen, she often fought with Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others, and she had great experience in fighting. In addition, Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi, also consciously "destroyed the king and established Wu", which made Wu Zetian feel like a fish in water whether it was the support of Li Zhi from the outside or the internal cultivation of close friends.
Moreover, Wu Zetian was the queen who had been the queen for nearly 30 years, and his close confidants were deeply rooted. In addition, he had been serving as the empress dowager for several years, and had interfered in the government affairs, suppressed the Li Tang royal family, and supported the Wu family and the common people.
It can be said that during the period when Wu Zetian was the queen mother, she had no force that could stop her from taking office. This force was accumulated by her nearly forty years of support from the court forces, and it was not something that could be refined overnight.
On the other hand, although Princess Taiping began to work in politics during the reign of Wu Zetian, and she was deliberately learning from her mother, recruiting disciples and counselors, and cultivating her own power, she was a small fight and could not control the power at all.
Although in Wu Zetian's time, many people from the Wu family and some speculators defected to her, their power was ultimately in the capital. If Wu Zetian had something to do, the ministers' idea was very simple... It was to restore Li Tang's country and find Li Tang's male heir. Although she enjoyed the configuration of a prince, her strength was still too weak after all. Even the uprising she conspired in the second year of her innate life was easily suppressed by Li Longji without any effort.
Also, when Princess Taiping entered the court at this time, it was not very popular. When Wu Zetian seized the throne, the Li Tang royal family had already been almost completely cleaned up, and most of the people who stayed were Wu Zetian's confidants, so it was natural to become the queen.
If Princess Taiping wants to take office, who will support her in the court? Wu Zetian knows that if her daughter wants to live well, the best way is to stay away from politics and power.
But Wu Zetian also knew that this was impossible. Princess Taiping had Wu Zetian's genes and was born with a high desire for power. This time, Princess Taiping's strong attack was already very telling.
Now Wu Zetian also knows that if you want to protect Princess Taiping, there is no second way to go. Just give one person absolute rights to protect Princess Taiping.
Even after a hundred years, this person can still stand firm, and this person must have a innocent heart. Kirin Sun Li An is the only one who is the only one, General Tiance... After the Tang Dynasty, General Tiance was the only one Li Shimin.
The so-called General Tiance is a type of official system of the Tiance Prefecture, with positions above the Three Dukes, second only to the nominal civil servants' heads (i.e. Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao); the General Tiance Prefecture is the leader of the military official government, above the Fourteen Guards' Mansion; General Tiance can recruit talents by himself as officials in the Tiance Prefecture, which is the so-called "honor-owned official subordinates".
Wu Zetian gave Ang Lee the title of General Tiance. In fact, she had already had a premonition of the danger. Of course, this danger is not in the present, but in the future.
Now the only thing Wu Zetian believes in is her grandson, so Wu Zetian threw General Tiance out directly. If it were Wu Zetian's middle-aged age, she would not have done this.
But now... Wu Zetian no longer has any scruples.
"You go down first... I want to rest..." Wu Zetian showed a tired expression at this time and asked Shangguan Wan'er to go down.
At this time, Shangguan Wan'er was already excited and her whole body began to tremble. After she walked out of Jixian Palace, her whole body was trembling with excitement. General Tiance... Shangguan Wan'er was already happy for Ang Lee.
As long as Ang Lee has the title of General Tiance, even if Wu Zetian is gone, no matter who ascends the throne in the future, Ang Lee's General Tiance will receive courtesy from the emperor.
As long as Ang Lee can capture the military power, Ang Lee will definitely be invincible.
Of course, the premise is that you have to store enough power, such as a 30,000 army... and also have to train the army secretly... This also depends on Ang Lee's means. If Ang Lee does not have the ability, he will not be able to hold on to this secret General Tiance.
But if Ang Lee holds up, he will become the biggest support for Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping, and even Li Dan.
