I don’t know if it was a compromise with Chen Yi or something. As the year approaches, Wu Zetian agreed to Chen Yi’s request to marry Murong Qing and Murong Ping as his wife.

The couple who had been in the temple for a few years was a dream that Chen Yi had always wanted to realize. He had already made it clear that his wives and concubines in the house had given birth to a son and became pregnant at the same time. No woman dared to disagree to marry them into the house again. Of course, with their consent, Chen Yi put in a lot of effort to soothe their injured little hearts and soothe their bodies.

When Wu Zetian decided on this, Helan Minzhi was still angry and ran to Chen Yi's mansion to question him in person. However, under Helan Minyue's handling, Helan Minzhi finally left angrily.

"Husband, brother treats you like this, I'm very worried!" One night after having a love affair, Helan Minyue leaned in Chen Yi's arms and sighed quietly: "I don't know why you are doing this. I don't want you to have a fight at all. Husband, don't be angry with your brother, okay?"

Chen Yi stroked Helan Minyue's smooth body and sighed: "Minyue, I won't hide it from you today. I'll tell you some things! Your brother didn't agree to let Murong Qing and Murong Ping enter the mansion because he was worried that your status in the mansion would be threatened. After seeing their sisters, he was moved and wanted to take them as their own, but he never had a chance. In the end, Murong Qing and Murong Ping followed me. He was so angry! Also, your brother has always been dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's favor for me, and he can't tolerate my status in the court higher than him! Some time ago, his position has always been above me, and his anger has been a little calmer, but now I am the Shangshu Youpushe, and my status in the Zhengshi Hall is higher than that of him, so he expressed his opinion to me again..."

"Ah?! It's actually like this!" Helan Minyue was extremely surprised. These were the reasons she didn't know. She always thought that Helan Minzhi was worried that her status would be threatened, so she kept opposing Chen Yi's marriage to Murong Qing and Murong Ping into the mansion as Ping's wife. However, she didn't expect that the real reason was so complicated, which surprised her. She was a little suspicious and couldn't help but ask: "Husband, what you said is true?"

"How can it be fake?" Chen Yi put his hand on his head, and after breathing a long breath, he said helplessly: "Actually, I have thought of this a long time ago. As our status in the court becomes higher and higher, conflicts will always become more and more serious. If we are all without any desires, there will be no conflicts, but we all have something to ask for, so there will be frequent struggles. In the future, the battle between the two of us will only become more and more powerful!"

"Husband, don't you fight with your brother, okay?" Helan Minyue obviously felt scared, and threw herself into Chen Yi's arms and said pitifully: "I will advise my brother not to think too much and not to fight with you! Husband, my brother will definitely listen to me, and you promise me not to fight with him, okay?"

"Minyue, of course I can agree to you, but I know that your brother will definitely not agree. Even if he acts in a responsive manner, he will not be able to do it!"

"Why?"

"Because he wants to be the emperor!"

"What?" Helan Minyue was completely frightened, and she trembled violently. After a moment of silence, she shook her head like a rattle: "No, husband, brother, he won't have this idea. Brother is not a descendant of the Li family, how could he want to be the emperor? Do you have a lot of objections to your brother and say that?"

Chen Yi reached out his hand and hugged Helan Minyue, who was very excited, sighed again, and said softly: "Minyue, I did not lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can just watch it in the future! It's true that he is not a child of the Li family, but he is now a child of the Wu family, the only descendant of the Wu family, the Empress Dowager... Forget it, I won't say it anymore, I believe you understand what the meaning of being a husband is!"

"Ah?!" Helan Minyue exclaimed softly again, but immediately closed her mouth. She was very smart. She had heard Chen Yi talk about Wu Zetian before. Today, Chen Yi's implicit words, she immediately understood the matter. Thinking of what Wu Zetian and Helan Min did over the years, she couldn't help but feel disbelief, and she felt sad and didn't know what to say anymore!

"Minyue, of course, I hope to live in harmony with anyone, and also make the best efforts for this, but many things are just forced to do. There are so many people in our house, I can't be slaughtered. No matter who you are, I will protect you well and never allow others to bully you! No one is allowed!" Chen Yi said helplessly but firmly.

Helan Minyue read a lot of meaning from Chen Yi's words and did not dare to ask anything else. She just squeezed her whole body into Chen Yi's arms, sighed silently, and then closed her eyes.

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

In the blink of an eye, the New Year was unprecedented in size, and the number of foreign envoys coming to congratulate him reached an unprecedented level.

"The palace is opened in the nine heavens, and the clothes and crowns of all countries are flowing." The change of emperors in the court did not affect the infinite envy of the small foreign countries for the achievements of the Tang Dynasty. Countless foreign leaders competed to offer what they thought were the most precious gifts and express their sincerity to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager of the Tang Dynasty on a special day like the New Year's Day celebration. Many foreign leaders are willing to give up the glory of the head and come to Chang'an to settle down, hoping to truly integrate into the Tang society, become a veritable Tang people, and enjoy the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

The young emperor Li Chongrun naturally could not understand this at all, but after being forced by Wu Zetian to take a seat on the imperial throne, he was still very cooperative and did not show any naughty behavior. However, the court meeting was too long, and he couldn't hold back his urge to pee, so he pulled a boy on the dragon chaise. After wet his pants, he couldn't help crying, adding more liveliness to the New Year's Day celebration and adding some jokes to the ministers after dinner.

Li Chongrun pulled the urine on the dragon throne, and Chen Yi was a little amused when he knew it. He had already tried his best to arrange caring people to serve Li Chongrun, and almost replaced everyone around Li Chongrun with people he believed in, and there were many people who secretly protected him, but today's scene, he was powerless, just hoped that no one would spread this matter in the future.

After becoming sensible, Li Chongrun might become angry because of his childhood foolishness. It would be not fun to take his anger on someone!

After the grand dynasty meeting, Wu Zetian, who enjoyed the glory brought by the lively ceremony today, was very excited and invited the kings in Beijing, the governors and governors who came to Beijing to congratulate the court in Linde Hall, and other officials in charge of the governors, governors and leaders who came to Beijing to congratulate the court. He praised the meritorious ministers on the spot, and Chen Yi naturally received generous rewards.

This time, Wu Zetian was in the limelight. It can be said that this is the first time she hosted the New Year's Day celebration as her master. It feels extraordinary!

After the Lantern Festival, Wu Zetian led all civil and military officials and young emperor Li Chongrun to Luoyang to hold a sacrificial ceremony when the three temples of Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong were completed.

This sacrificial ceremony shocked many people because the ritual process made people read a lot of unusual things.

Wu Zetian personally presided over the ceremony, wore the crown of the robe, the Dagui, and held the Zhengui as the first offering.

The reason she said was that the emperor was young and could not hold a sacrificial ceremony as the first sacrifice, so she, the emperor's grandmother, could only preside over the onslaught of her. Perhaps such a reason could be barely accepted. Li Chongrun, who was over one year old, really could not preside over the sacrificial ceremony. But it was also surprising that the person who was entrusted by Wu Zetian as a member of Yaxian. The Yaxian was not a child of the royal family, nor was Pei Xingjian, the head of all officials, but Wu Zetian's nephew Helan Minzhi. No one could understand why this was, and even Chen Yi was shocked.

Wu Zetian also ordered these three emperor temples in Luoyang to be sacrificed in all seasons, such as the Taimiao of Chang'an.

During the sacrifice, we first went to the throne of Emperor Haotian, followed by Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Taizong, Emperor Gaozong, and Emperor Gaozong, and the former king of Wei, and the last emperor of the five directions. These are the regular rituals of sacrifice, and no one was surprised. But the subsequent rituals were shocked again. That is, after worshiping the throne of Emperor Wu, Emperor Taizong, and Emperor Gaozong, they actually worshiped the ancestors of the Wu family and announced that they would build the Wu family ancestral temple in Chang'an and Luoyang. The specifications were only slightly lower than those of Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Taizong, and Emperor Gaozong, and they also expressed that they would perform sacrifices again when the Wu family ancestral temple was completed.

After hearing Wu Zetian's announcement and combined with the news I found in recent times, Chen Yi immediately concluded that this was one of Wu Zetian's premeditations, and she wanted to build momentum for herself to be the emperor. This was just a beginning, a tentative beginning. In the following time, many people will stand up to perform, and many good shows will be staged in Chang'an and Luoyang!

Recently, Chen Yi ordered Du Xiaosheng, who was in charge of affairs in the Military Intelligence Institute, to send additional personnel to monitor Helan Minzhi's family, and at the same time assigned a group of people with special training to various places to inquire about the latest situation. Chen Yi knew that he would work harder next time.

In order to better investigate the situation, especially the situation in the palace, Chen Yi ordered Du Xiaosheng to urgently train a group of special people, that is, mainly targeting women, train them into qualified spies, and can go to special places to perform tasks.

The purpose of Chen Yi doing this is to place these people in the palace to better inquire about the situation for him.

After these people were placed in the palace, they did play a major role. He investigated many things about Li Xian and Wei's body in a timely and accurate manner. He could detect many of Wu Zetian's actions without the need for a Wu Tuan. This is of course something that Wu Zetian did not know. He also learned a lot of conspiracy between Wu Zetian and Helan Minzhi, and learned that Helan Minzhi would make many acts of creating momentum and cooperate with Wu Zetian to perform "acting". Wu Zetian's performance at this sacrificial ceremony was part of the acting, and there would definitely be a grand scene to unfold next.

The news Chen Yi found was conclusive, but he did not expect that Wu Zetian and Helan Minzhi's actions were faster than he expected. As the sacrificial ceremony was about to end, a good show was staged!

Outside Danfeng Gate, tens of thousands of people, led by several gentlemen, submitted petitions to Emperor Li Chongrun and Empress Dowager Wu Zetian. After praising Wu Zetian's wisdom and greatness, they demanded that the emperor abdicate, and Empress Dowager Wu Zetian ascended the throne.rs!.
