Chapter 274 Cut Wu Li Li
"Your Majesty... I have something to say...!"
In Wu Zetian's hall, Wu Chengsi bowed and walked out.
"King Wei... Just say anything, don't hide it..." Wu Zetian was now a little dissatisfied with his nephew. Last time, Wu Zetian found a birthday for him because of his nephew.
But who knew that the nun of that kind of birth date was fake, which made Wu Zetian very unhappy with Wu Chengsi. Later, Wu Chengsi flattered his little male favor, which made Wu Zetian slightly change his nephew.
Hearing Wu Zetian's words, Wu Chengsi said bluntly: "Yes... Your Majesty, what I want to say is about King Jie... I have received some news that King Jie can defeat the four countries this time because King Jie has mastered a powerful weapon.
A small pack can turn into thunder and injure hundreds of people around... King Jie relied on this weapon to repel the four countries, but I have not seen any statements about the weapon being handed over to the court.
King Jie has selfish intentions... and if this powerful weapon loses control, it will threaten Your Majesty. So I ask Your Majesty to order Lai Junchen to recall King Jie immediately, remove the position of General Tiance, and ask King Jie to hand over the weapons."
"You fart...!"
At this moment, Li Dan, who had been holding on, finally couldn't help it. Li Dan didn't want to get involved, after all, Li Dan's position in the court was unstable, but when he heard about Wu Chengsi, he was simply going to destroy Ang Lee to death.
At this time, Li Dan could no longer hold it back.
"Your Majesty...An'er has made outstanding achievements in repelling the four countries. Now the army is outside the city. If Lai Junchen is arranged to recall King Jie, it will definitely cause unstable morale. As for the huge weapon with great power, An'er must have any unspeakable difficulties. Please think twice."
"Your Majesty... Ang Lee's privately harbors powerful weapons, which is already the greatest responsibility. Moreover, Ang Lee is still holding troops outside and controlling the entire army with the title of General Tiance.
This is a taboo... What you need to do now is to recall Ang Lee immediately to avoid the night of long dreams. Please decide."
After Wu Chengsi said that, he knelt down and followed the people of Wu Chengsi's lineage, they all knelt down and shouted: "Please decide."
Seeing Wu Chengsi's lineage kneeling down, Li Dan also knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty... I guarantee my life, An'er will never rebel. If An'er is rebel, I will commit suicide."
"The royal heir is not...!"
Li Dan's words made Wei Anshi, Zhang Jianzhi and others slightly worried and all shouted no.
At this time, the attitude towards Ang Lee in the court was completely clear at a glance. Wu Chengsi was trying his best to protect Ang Lee, while Li Dan's followers were not concerned about Ang Lee.
"It's really lively...!"
Just as everyone was arguing about Li An, Li An took Wulang and Liulang into the hall. As soon as he entered the hall, Li An hurriedly came to Li Dan's side and helped Li Dan up.
Seeing Ang Lee, Li Dan was also happy and shouted: "An'er...!"
"Haha...An'er made my uncle worried...thank you for your trust in An'er." Ang Lee hugged Li Dan directly.
Li Dan also said happily: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back..."
After Li An and Li Dan reminiscing about the past, they turned around and looked at Wu Chengsi and smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, you don't trust An'er too much... The powerful weapon you are talking about is called an explosive pack.
It's too troublesome to make that thing, and you have to be very careful, so I haven't given it to my grandma for the time being. It's better to have this thing in my grandma's hands. As for those soldiers in the army, you don't have to worry.
Those soldiers were under the jurisdiction of their respective generals, and I, Ang Lee, had never directly ordered these soldiers.
Ang Lee only has three thousand Jie family troops in his hands. This time he came back early, and wanted to ask His Majesty to remove the position of General Tiance and the title of King Jie, so Uncle Wu doesn't have to worry."
"Oh...!" Wu Chengsi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"This morning, An'er brought only ten cavalry into the palace to see me, and then he submitted a letter to resign from the titles of General Tiance and King of Wei. I know that An'er was worried that she would be so powerful that she would be shocked by the Lord, but... I don't care, I believe An'er.
Therefore, I rejected the above statement of King Jie Li An. Li An was still the General of the Great Zhou Tiance and His Highness of King Jie of Great Zhou... I also want to give him fiefs of ten thousand households, ten thousand golds and ten thousand acres of land, and give Dengzhou the fief of King Jie.
I want to tell all the people of the Great Zhou that those who have made merits will reward you. As long as you are dedicated to my Great Zhou, I feel that you are not worried that your achievements will shock the Lord."
"Thank you, Your Majesty...!" Ang Lee took the lead in kneeling down.
Follow the people in the court and kneel down together.
Wu Chengsi had hatred on his lips, because Wu Chengsi knew that if he couldn't kill Ang Lee this time, it would be even more difficult to deal with Ang Lee in the future. Just when Wu Chengsi wanted to kill Ang Lee with his eyes.
Ang Lee's words frightened Wu Chengsi again.
"Your Majesty..." Li An bowed and looked at Wu Zetian and smiled, "An'er came here today, bringing Goro and Rokuro over. Goro and Rokuro thanked Shengen, but they felt that they were too young, so they could not bear many great responsibilities.
So Goro and Rokuro want to resign from some of their official positions, Goro and Rokuro just hope to follow His Majesty and be content."
"Clam..." Ang Lee's words surprised the ministers present. Wu Zetian, who was sitting on the dragon throne, also asked in surprise: "Wulang, Liulang, do you really think so?"
Goro and Rokuro quickly moved forward.
Then I heard Goro say, "Your Majesty... Goro is young and ignorant, and has done a lot of wrong things... I not only apologize like Your Majesty, but also apologize to all the ministers. Goro and Rokuro will definitely restrain their words and deeds in the future.
I hope everyone can give Goro and Rokuro a chance."
After saying that, Zhang Yizhi brought his younger brother Zhang Changzong to bow to His Highness's people, which really surprised His Highness's officials, because you must know that Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong were very crazy before.
I have never seen this humble look now.
In the past, all officials hated the Zhang brothers. Today, seeing the two brothers bowed and bowed, all officials felt a little more and less happy.
But Wu Chengsi was panicked again, because if the Zhang brothers became better, how could he pretend to be powerful?
The court scattered... Wu Zetian led the Zhang brothers away and walked out of the hall with Ang Lee and Li Dan. At this time, Wu Chengsi became a little lost. For some reason, Wu Chengsi felt in trouble.
....................................
East Palace
Li Dan, Li Chengqi, Li Longji, and Ang Lee sat together. Li Chengqi was very happy when he saw Ang Lee. Even Li Longji showed a little good face to Ang Lee.
"This time it's really dangerous... If you don't come back in time, then you may be slapped by Wu Chengsi this time."
"Yes...!" Ang Lee looked at Li Dan and said, "The Wu family hates me to the core now. I know that Wu Chengsi has always wanted to take the position of the prince, if he really takes the position of the prince.
Then we will definitely be killed."
"Why should my cousin recommend Wu Sansi to build the Tianshu for His Majesty...!" Li Longji looked at Ang Lee and asked.
After defeating the four kingdoms, the leaders of the four barbarians asked to build Tianshu, to record the merits, and to dismiss Tang and Song Zhou. Wu Zetian just agreed to follow the design drawings of the Dongyi people Mao Polu (Maoむくじゃら), and the Korean people, Izu Xiancheng (???) to transport copper, and Gaozu You (???) to carve.
The total height is 147 feet (45.87 meters), the pillar body is surrounded by eight sides, with a dragon and a unicorn. It is a plate with a cloud-bearing dew. The four dragons on the top are standing with fire beads. The pillar body is engraved with the names of civil and military officials and heads of states. Wu Zetian personally wrote: "The Great Zhou Dynasty and the Ten Thousand Kingdoms praise the virtues of Tianshu."
Unfortunately, when Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was about to be destroyed, he ordered the destruction of Tianshu. It was melted for a month but it could not be melted, but it eventually disappeared and only lasted for 20 years.
Ang Lee recommended Wu Sansi as the commander-in-chief. You must know that building this Tianshu will definitely gain power and can also make a living. Li Longji didn't know much about Ang Lee's recommendation Wu Sansi because this is a fat man.
Since you, Ang Lee, know that the Wu family is their biggest enemy, why did you give this good thing to the Wu family again?
Looking at Li Longji who was still young at this time, Li An smiled slightly and said, "Do you know that compared with Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi is more of his grandmother's heir."
"Ah...!" Li Longji and Li Chengqi were stunned.
Li Dan smiled and nodded, "An'er is right. Wu Sansi is actually very close to his mother. He should call his mother an aunt. This is a very direct aunt and nephew."
"Uncle still remembers that my grandmother asked my uncle Li Xian to change his surname to "Wu" and become the crown prince. As a result, Wu Sansi couldn't sit still. Wu Sansi and some officials who supported him in the court jointly persuaded Wu Zetian to abolish the crown prince and change the Wu family to the heir. This is the right way.
Later, my grandmother was really shaken.
Wu Sansi is ambitious and courageous in doing things, and is also his nephew. Thinking of this, my grandmother made up her mind to make Wu Sansi the crown prince for a moment.
But what I never expected was that this idea was firmly opposed by many ministers including Di Renjie. Although my grandmother was punished and exiled a group of officials, the idea of Li Wu Sansi as the crown prince was ultimately unfulfilled.
Wu Chengsi took advantage of Wu Sansi's failure and was raised again. What surprised me was that Wu Sansi really seemed to have become Wu Chengsi's pawn.
However, I know that Wu Sansi doesn’t want to be Wu Chengsi’s pawn, he still wants to be the crown prince.”
"He is worthy of it too..." Li Longji cursed angrily.
"Whether you are worthy or not is not your or my decision, but His Majesty has the final say. Now all we can do is to use a scheming person to kill another person.
If we appear, the malice will be too obvious. If the Wu family is allowed to use the Wu family by themselves, the effect will be full."
"Oh...!" Finally, Li Longji's eyes lit up: "It turns out that my cousin wants to bite a dog...!"
A smile... Ang Lee looked at Li Dan on the side and said, "Uncle may also have to contact my aunt... I must also fight for her, and we can give my aunt some necessary promises."
"I know this... I can convince Taiping...what should we do just treat Wu Sansi?" Li Dan asked at Ang Lee.
Ang Lee smiled slightly: "I can remove the firewood from the cauldron... Wu Sansi thought he could sit in the position of the prince, so we would directly remove the position of the prince. I would ask Wulang and Liulang to suggest that Your Majesty invite Mr. Di back first.
Then I would like to ask Master Di and other prime ministers to submit a letter to him and ask His Majesty to dispel Li Wu's idea. As long as Li Wu's idea is dispelled, then no matter how powerful Wu Sansi is, he will not be able to jump around."
"Then will you ask my father to become the crown prince?" Li Longji looked at Ang Lee excitedly and asked.
"This...!" Ang Lee didn't know what to say for a moment.
Because according to Ang Lee's analysis, his uncle Li Dan is likely not to be made the crown prince. If Wu Zetian dispelled the idea of making Wu the crown prince, then the biggest beneficiary would be Li Xian.
First, Li Xian is Li Dan's brother after all, and according to the etiquette and law principle of "the eldest son inheritance system" he should be made the crown prince. However, the so-called "the eldest son inheritance system" is just a secondary factor in Li Xian's being made the crown prince. If Wu Zetian really attaches great importance to traditional etiquette and law, he would not have become an unprecedented female emperor in ancient Chinese history.
Second, Li Dan has had a great hidden influence in the court for many years, while Li Xian, who was exiled for many years, did not have such influence in the court. Although Wu Zetian decided to make her son the crown prince, it did not mean that she would abdicate and hand over power. Before her life ended, Wu Zetian also had to consider how to ensure that the crown prince did not threaten his imperial power.
Third, it is precisely because it is natural to make Li Dan the crown prince, and it is unexpected to make Li Xian the crown prince that Li Xian was grateful to his mother Wu Zetian, who was the crown prince. In this way, Wu Zetian can better control Li Xian, the new crown prince, and also allow himself to pass the throne to the throne to his son to achieve smoothly.
Fourth, in the early days of Wu Zetian's reign, a fierce "war for the throne" between the Wu family's children and the emperor's heir Li Dan, which caused Li Dan to die several times, and even the two concubines (one of them was Li Longji's biological mother) disappeared strangely in the palace. Therefore, after Li Dan ascended the throne, he was very likely to take revenge on the Wu family, while Li Xian, who was exiled, had no direct conflict with the Wu family.
If Wu Zetian decides to pass the throne to his son and restore Li Tang, she does not want the Wu family to be politically liquidated and completely destroyed.
Ang Lee also knew that Wu Zetian, who is now in his later years, has been seeking a political pattern that can ensure that the Li and Wu families coexist and prosper, which is also one of the main reasons why Li Dan will not be appointed as the crown prince.
"Longi, as for what Your Majesty thinks, you and I can't control it, so everything is up to Your Majesty to decide, and we will leave it to God's will...!"
Just Ang Lee's words, how could Li Longji satisfy? Li Longji is a very ambitious person. His ambition is the position of the emperor. Now he sees the throne of the emperor so close to him.
How could Li Longji not be ready to move?
"Okay... I won't say it anymore. Now let's celebrate An'er's safe return first, come and have a drink..." In the end, Li Dan broke the deadlock and raised his glass, and then everyone came to reminisce.
