Chapter 48 It seems that this palace really can't rest anymore

Although he is the queen, Wei is still a woman. With Chen Yi's feeling, she can only be regarded as an ignorant girl. Faced with such a woman, he has psychological advantages. In addition to other reasons, even if there are differences in identity, he will say some excessive things.

Wei was less than 20 years old. Even though she was a family of officials and had been in the palace for a few years and had seen a lot of palace struggles, her mind could not mature quickly and was often scared. Especially when facing Chen Yi, a person who made her feel very special in terms of identity and feelings, a few words like scolding made her feel very wronged. She was no longer a stubborn look, and she was no longer the queen of the Tang Dynasty. She became an aggrieved woman. After pouting a few times, tears actually rolled out in her eyes.

Seeing that Wei was crying, Chen Yi's original anger disappeared a lot in an instant. This was a weakness that he had no way to overcome. When facing a woman who was crying, he could never make up his mind. However, in order to avoid being seen by Wei, he still hardened his heart and said with a shady face, "Empress, for the children in your belly, for your queen's position to sit long, and for you to become the empress dowager in the future, I advise you not to play with fire in these matters. The empress dowager is worried that he will not find an excuse to hit the emperor! If you do such a thing in the gap when she is not in charge of the matter for the time being, the consequences will definitely be beyond your imagination!"

During this period, Li Xian was very well-behaved, and Wu Zetian didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't use excuses to find reasons to make Li Xian sad. If Li Xian and Wei did such a thing, Wu Zetian, who was worried that he would not be able to find someone to extricate his anger, would definitely not let this go. No one knows whether the fate of Li Xian and Wei will be copied from what he did in history!

The development of things is different from the original history, but Chen Yi believes that as long as Li Xian and Wei dare to play with fire, Wu Zetian will still take the opportunity to deal with Li Xian, and the result of the treatment will definitely be similar. Although Li Dan has died of illness now, it can be said that Li Xian is Wu Zetian's only existing son who is competent for the position of emperor. However, Wu Zetian, who has been bewitched by Helan Minzhi many times, cannot be unwilling to think of becoming an emperor.

But now it is not time for Wu Zetian to be the emperor himself. The storm movement has not begun and the purging in the court has not begun. If Wu Zetian suddenly announced that he would stand on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, the resistance he encountered would not be average. But if Li Xian did something unbearable and challenged Wu Zetian's bottom line, no one knew how things would develop.

Chen Yi didn't want Li Xian and Wei to make any big noise at this time. Wei was intoxicated and the child was not born yet. If Wei had a son, Chen Yi would not mind Li Xian and Wei's fight, and the two sides would be very lively. Wu Zetian would also give up a lot of concerns. After Li Xian did something that made her unable to bear it, she decided to do something. But now it is not possible. When she didn't figure out the gender of the child in Wei's womb, she would stop Li Xian and Wei from doing something that makes people uncomfortable to watch.

Especially Wei Shi, Chen Yi knew that this woman had a lot of thoughts, and Li Xian was very obedient to her. The task of conferring a member of the Wei family with a higher position could only be proposed by Wei Shi. All Chen Yi could do was persuade Wei Shi, no matter what means he used.

Wei finally succumbed to Chen Yi's tyranny and agreed against her will to talk to Li Xian again, postpone the matter and wait until the time is right.

Seeing that Wei Shi heard his advice, Chen Yi was relieved. Of course, he further started ideological work on Wei Shi, talked about a lot of interests, and of course there were other means of offensives. Finally, when Wei Shi's complete "submission" and Chen Yi left with satisfaction.

------------

Wei finally followed Chen Yi's advice and did not further intrigue Li Xian, and mentioned the official positions of her relatives. Li Xian was still the same as before. With the help of several auxiliary ministers, he handled the affairs of the court, but after knowing that Wu Zetian's body had slowly recovered and had the energy to pay attention to the affairs of the court, Helan Minzhi's attitude became arrogant again. From time to time, he accused Li Xian of what he did, either openly or secretly.

Li Xian was just over twenty, and it was the youthful period of youth. A few days ago, because of Wu Zetian's deliberate suppression, he did things carefully and did not express any special expression of the accusations of Helan Minzhi, the cousin. However, a few months have passed, especially after "in charge of power", the emperor's sense of glory has gradually emerged. The feeling of power has slowly exposed his hidden nature. He was unwilling to hear Helan Minzhi's ridicule or blame him again. He would talk back from time to time, and even scold the emperor's majesty.

It was quite unexpected for Li Xian to "talk back" that Helan Minzhi was. However, he had been in the court for many years and knew that he could not contradict the emperor in front of others, but instead gave Li Xian's performance to Wu Zetian in a timely manner.

Wu Zetian was aware of Li Xian's changes. Of course, she was not satisfied with the changes of this honest and well-behaved son after becoming the emperor, but she did not take any measures. She just ordered Helan Minzhi to continue like this, and occasionally stimulated Li Xian to say a few words. She pointed out what Li Xian did wrongly and also in front of other ministers.

Advice happens frequently when Li Shimin and Li Zhi are emperors. If the emperor does something wrong, ministers have the right to point it out. Even if he makes corrections in person, he will not be punished. Helan Minzhi accused Li Xian of doing something wrong in person. As long as he speaks it right, he will not be considered offended by the sage power. His disrespect to the emperor will be considered loyal and upright, and dare to speak out for advice!

Of course, Li Xian did not think that Helan Minzhi was making a frank advice, but deliberately provoked him, because of Wu Zetian's order or Helan Minzhi's own personal grudges. Therefore, he gradually held a grudge against Helan Minzhi, and the relationship between the two became worse and worse.

Helan Minzhi said ill words about Li Xian in front of Wu Zetian from time to time, and continued to bewitch Wu Zetian, wanting to take power into his own hands, and even let Wu Zetian be the emperor himself, opening up a new historical era. Helan Minzhi's words mean: If all the ministers recognized the emperor's majesty, only Li Xian's orders followed, then the power of Li Xian, the new emperor, would gradually begin to accumulate, and would eventually take full control of the power. Wu Zetian took advantage of Li Xian's ascending the throne and had not really taken power. Most officials were appointed by Wu Zetian to put Li Xian, the emperor, and prevented him from holding real power. If Li Xian abolished Li Xian and Wu Zetian himself became the emperor, that was the best method. In this way, Wu Zetian would truly reach the peak of power and create a new era.

Wu Zetian, who was moved by Helan Minzhi's thoughts and became a little upset, finally asked about the matter directly after discussing the court with Chen Yi: "Zi Ying, Minzhi repeatedly stated the emperor's corruption and dereliction of duty in front of me, and asked me to take back the power to let him deal with the government on his behalf. What do you think about this matter?"

Chen Yi had already thought about this situation, but he did not dare to take the initiative to say this to Wu Zetian. When Wu Zetian asked, he immediately replied: "Empress, I think what Uncle Minzhi said is reasonable. After all, when Your Majesty was the prince, he had no experience in supervising the country. Most of the affairs in the court did not know how to deal with them. Some of the views were very naive. Therefore, I believe that Your Majesty also needs to be under the care of the Empress. Important court affairs require the Empress to pay attention to important court affairs to avoid making wrong decisions!" When saying these words, Chen Yi paid attention to Wu Zetian's expression changes. After not seeing any strange expression on the woman's face, he continued boldly: "According to me, the government is not trivial. Every time it is a major event that concerns the national economy and people's livelihood and the stability of the court. Therefore, the Empress should pay attention to everything and give His Majesty a suggestion!"

Chen Yi's words sounded very comfortable in Wu Zetian's ears. She couldn't help laughing and teased: "Ziying, what do you mean is that I want to give the emperor an opinion on everything?"

Chen Yi laughed and said sly: "It's not a matter of anything, it's just that the empress thinks it's necessary to give her advice, just give her some advice!"

Wu Zetian rolled his eyes at Chen Yi, snorted and asked another thing: "Ziying, have you found out that the people you placed next to the emperor have taken abnormal measures during this period?"

It was Wu Zetian's instruction that Chen Yi placed people around Li Xian and Wei, but Chen Yi took advantage of Wu Zetian's banner and arranged two more people to Li Xian and Wei. He dared not tell the situation in Penglai Palace, and he could also inquire about all the passions and games. Even Li Xian and Wei could find out about the passion and games at night. However, Li Xian was under a lot of pressure and had not recovered much in the affairs of men and women. In addition, Wei was pregnant again, and there was basically no activity in bed between the two people in the past few months.

After hearing Wu Zetian's question, Chen Yi immediately became energetic, stood up, walked up to Wu Zetian, and said in a low voice: "Empress, today I have something I just found out about and want to repay you. I just told the Empress that other things I almost forgot. When the Empress asks, I immediately remembered it!"

"What's the matter?" Wu Zetian suddenly looked serious and asked with a raised eyebrows.

"Empress, I'm inquiring, Your Majesty is going to promote some people by himself..." Chen Yi lowered his voice and told Wu Zetian the incident of Wei's family being tricked into promoting some members of the Wei family that he adapted and processed. Of course, the incident was definitely different from the real situation. What he told Wu Zetian was that Li Xian wanted to promote and remove many officials, including members of the Political Affairs Hall. "Empress, Your Majesty has only discussed this matter with the Queen, but it seems that he has not made a decision, so I dare not guess what the situation is!"

After listening to Chen Yishu and his later judgment, Wu Zetian frowned and thought for a while before slowly saying: "Zi Ying, it seems that the emperor really wants to take charge of the rule and wants to do things by himself. He doesn't want me, the queen of mother, to interfere in his affairs! Haha!" After laughing dryly, Wu Zetian lowered his face again and said in a cold voice: "It seems that I really can't rest!"
