Chapter 57: Two Different Suggestions

Recommend a friend's book, book number: 2979878, book title: "The Holy Beast Overlord"

--------

Li Xian made a decision to make his only son, Li Chongrun, the prince of Wei. This was not abrupt for the ministers, and it could be said that it was a natural thing. The emperor ascended the throne and had his own eldest son, and it was natural for him to make his eldest son the emperor heir.

Before Li Xian made a decision, many ministers had submitted a letter to appoint a crown prince, but at that time, Wu Zetian stopped him on the grounds that King Wei was young. However, there were still constant ministers who submitted a letter to appoint a memorial, mainly because Wei married Li Xian and had not been raising children for many years. Now he finally gave birth to a son. Many ministers felt that the early appointment of a crown prince could stabilize the people's hearts and the court's principles to a certain extent.

Li Xian made this decision before the New Year, and the similar meaning was to follow the people's will.

He "can't" stop the court officials from making such requests one after another, so he had to be satisfied with the requests of the ministers and make the crown prince safe as soon as possible.

This can also be said to have caught Wu Zetian off guard. She didn't expect Li Xian to announce such a decision soon during the Chinese New Year, and she couldn't find any reason to object. After all, this was what the ministers had repeatedly requested Li Xian to do. Wu Zetian was very angry, hating Li Xian for being so scheming, and hating that her son had not discussed with her before making such a major decision, and even the appointment of an official from the Eastern Palace was not discussed with her. This made her feel that Li Xian began to be tough on her again and would find more ways to stop her from interfering in the government affairs in the future.

On the day of New Year's Eve, the day after Li Xian announced at the court meeting that Li Chongrun had appointed King of Wei as the crown prince, and Pei Xingjian, Xue Yuanchao, Chen Yi, Wei Xuantong, Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi and others were appointed as officials of the Eastern officials, Helan Minzhi rushed into the Xianju Hall in a blink of an eye and went to Wu Zetian to tell him his views on this matter.

"Auntie, Minzhi thinks you can't let Your Majesty's behavior be. Since ancient times, although emperors are men, this is not something that cannot be changed. Minzhi thinks that you should follow the advice I said before and directly abolish the emperor. You can become the emperor yourself. There is nothing wrong with changing dynasties!" Helan Minzhi said what he wanted to say directly.

This shocked Wu Zetian and quickly looked around. Fortunately, Wu Tuaner and other maids were all swung back by her, and no one heard Helan Minzhi's low voice.

"Minzhi. How dare you say this so loudly? Come with your aunt into the inner room!" Wu Zetian glared at Helan Minzhi in anger, got up and walked towards the inner room, and Helan Minzhi immediately followed.

"Auntie, Minzhi said it right. Now your Majesty is unable to tolerate you. Everything he does is to take away the power in your hands and take charge of the rule. If your aunt lets it go, it will not take many more time. Even the officials promoted by the aunt in the court will be dismissed by the emperor. If you don't see the emperor's appointment and removal of the Eastern Palace officials are not the ones you trust, the emperor's meaning is obvious!" Helan Minzhi said anxiously: "Auntie, if you don't take measures again, there will be no chance to make this plan in the future. Maybe one day the emperor will order to replace all the imperial guards in the palace. In that way, you will never be able to control the situation. If you don't say that Minzhi will be unlucky with you, even if you are aunt, no one will take you seriously in the future!"

"Auntie, now that the late emperor has passed away, the emperor's actions have disappointed all the ministers. You can take the opportunity to replace the emperor and establish a new era yourself!"

Wu Zetian looked at Helan Minzhi hesitantly and said nothing.

Seeing that Wu Zetian did not object, Helan Minzhi became bolder and continued to bewitch him: "Auntie, most of the ministers in the court are promoted by you by your own hands. Their recognition of you will definitely be stronger than that of the emperor. If the Empress becomes the emperor, they will definitely follow you! Minzhi can do things immediately and build up the power. If God means to let the Aunt be the emperor, then who else dares to say that the Empress is acting against the will of heaven? Auntie, you must decide immediately, taking advantage of the emperor's rule that the Emperor has not completely taken charge and take down the Tang Dynasty. My aunt has endured her for so long in the palace. Isn't she just longing for this day?"

"Auntie, why does the Tang Dynasty have to be the surname Li? My aunt has managed the Tang Dynasty for decades, and no one can understand the hard work. With these decades of hard work, Jiangshan has a perfect reason to change his surname to Wu. The country of these decades was built by you, aunt. Now the Tang Dynasty is so powerful, it is also your credit for you, so the current country belongs to our Wu family!"

The last few very bewitching words of Helan Minzhi finally made Wu Zetian moved, but she was still indifferent on the surface and did not express any statement. She just said to Helan Minzhi with a faint expression: "Minzhi, don't be anxious about this matter. Aunt Rong thinks about it very much, and then tells you about your aunt's decision after she figures out!"

"Yes, aunt, Minzhi understands!" Helan Minzhi was overjoyed, knowing that Wu Zetian was moved by him all the time, and he didn't want Wu Zetian's instructions at the moment, and said very "sensible": "Auntie, don't worry, Minzhi can do many things, and she can do them seamlessly. As long as she builds up the momentum, then aunt can naturally replace Xian'er and become the 195th Lord!"

"Auntie, today is New Year's Eve, don't be too concerned. It's best to have a New Year's Eve. Just send someone to order Minzhi if you have anything to do. Minzhi will go first!" As he said that, he saluted Wu Zetian, who looked hesitant, and quickly retreated.

After Helan Minzhi left, Wu Zetian was still sitting in the inner room in a daze. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't make a decision. Finally, she called Wu Tuaner up and ordered her to send Chen Yi into the palace.

Chen Yi was having fun with his wives, concubines and children in the mansion, looking forward to having a good New Year. On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, he received an order from Wu Zetian that he entered the palace. He was very surprised, but he did not dare to delay. He told his wives, concubines and children not to worry. He would definitely come back soon and hurriedly enter the palace after accompanying them for a reunion dinner.

Wu Zetian was still in the inner room. She had been lying on the couch and thought about it for nearly an hour, but she still had no idea whether to follow Helan Minzhi's advice.

After Chen Yi gave the gift, he did not politely and asked directly: "I wonder what's wrong with the empress on New Year's Eve to pass on the ministers to discuss?"

"Ziying, sit down and talk!" Wu Zetian pointed to the couch beside him and signaled Chen Yi to sit down beside her.

Chen Yi sat down as he was a little worried. Of course he felt that today was unusual. Yesterday, Li Xian announced the appointment of the crown prince, and today is the New Year's Eve. Wu Zetian summoned him into the palace on the occasion of New Year's Eve. There must be a very important matter to discuss. After sitting down, he asked directly: "Empress, did you summon ministers to the palace for asking about the matter of Your Majesty's appointment of the crown prince?"

Wu Zetian nodded slowly, shook his head again, faced Chen Yi sideways, and asked very seriously: "Ziying, how did this palace treat you over the years?"

"Empress, you treat me so well. Everything I have now is given by you!" Of course, Chen Yi said something insincerely. Without his own efforts, without so many intelligence and talent, without the satisfaction of Wu Zetian in his bedmate, how could he achieve so many achievements? But these words must not be said!

"It's good that you remember!" Wu Zetian sighed slightly and asked again: "Ziying, if I want to do something, will you support it unconditionally?"

After hearing what Wu Zetian said, when he entered the palace, he learned from Wu Tuaner that Helan Minzhi had just left the Xianju Palace. Chen Yi instantly guessed what his elder brother had said to Wu Zetian. He hesitated for a moment and asked carefully: "Empress, can I ask a presumptuous question?"

Wu Zetian was a little surprised and was not satisfied with Chen Yi not answering her question. He asked her back, but nodded and signaled to Chen Yi to say.

"Empress, did Uncle Minzhi bewitch you from becoming the emperor by himself?" Chen Yi said these words in a low voice.

These words caused Wu Zetian to have a severe earthquake. She looked at Chen Yi in disbelief, frowned, and asked angrily: "Chen Yi, what are you talking about? How could you say this casually?"

"Empress, I believe that my uncle just told you these things and encouraged you to become the emperor by himself!" Chen Yi looked at Wu Zetian without avoiding it, and said in a very sincere tone: "Empress, Uncle Minzhi has given you a bad idea. In the current situation, even if the Empress has such a plan, it cannot be done hastily. Even if such a big thing is to be implemented, then you must be fully prepared. How can you act casually? I can be sure that if the Empress takes this action now, even if Uncle Minzhi and I fully support you, it will not be successful. There are not many ministers in the court who will support your decision! This is a matter of defiance! "

Wu Zetian's anger slowed down because of Chen Yi's subsequent words. After taking a few breaths, he said in a deep voice: "Okay! Since you think so, I won't hide it from you. Minzhi did tell me this just now. It seems that you don't agree with what Minzhi said. Then tell me, how should I deal with it in the face of Your Majesty's aggressive momentum?"

On the way, Chen Yi had already thought of a way to answer Wu Zetian's inquiries about these things. He said slowly: "Empress, the emperor is eager for quick success and instant benefits, reckless in doing things, and is too hasty. The matter of establishing a crown prince and appointing many officials from the Eastern Palace was also suddenly decided, and no one arranged by him was found out. However, the person assigned by the ministers still found out that there will be other situations. After the New Year, the emperor will definitely have many actions that make the court officials angry. According to the ministers' investigation, many personnel of the Wei family will be promoted to important positions by the emperor after the New Year. The empress can take this opportunity to punish the emperor seriously... The emperor is dereliction of duty, and the empress can use the will of the late emperor to punish him in any way, or even depose him... or other means to prevent him from becoming the emperor... The Li family has a descendant, and the imperial court has a crown prince?"

"Ah?!" Wu Zetian's low scream came with Chen Yi's words! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Wenxue, the novel is better and faster!
