"Uncle...What method do you have to let your father notice Zhinu?" Li You asked as he looked at Changsun Wuji.

Like Li You, Changsun Wuji also frowned: "If you want Your Majesty to notice Zhinu, relying solely on Zhinu's kindness and filial piety is not enough. You must rely on external forces to praise, and the best external force is to meet immortals...!"

"Meet the immortal..."

Li You nodded silently, you should know that ancient society still highly praised this immortal, god..., especially the royal family. What they like most is to use divine power to deify themselves.

Not to mention the distance, let’s talk about Emperor Wu of Han. It is said that Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che was a brilliant emperor in ancient my country’s history. After he ascended the throne, he changed his grandfather, Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing’s idea of ​​governing inaction during his inaction. Instead, he “destroyed all schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone”. After unifying his thoughts, he began to actively expand to the outside world, defeating the Huns, pacifying the Minyue and South Yue, developing the southwest, managing the Western Regions, opening up the "Silk Road", and creating a powerful Han Dynasty for us.

However, when the young Emperor Wu of Han was ascended the throne, he also faced internal and external troubles. Outside, there were continuous invasions of the Huns, the nomadic people from the north, and the eagerness of various princes and kings. Even the power held by the prime minister at that time was far greater than that of the imperial power.

For example, after Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne, Prime Minister Tian Fu held the power to appoint and remove officials from all over the world, and was very powerful. Emperor Wu of Han was very dissatisfied with this and once asked Tian Fu: "Have you eliminated all officials? I also want to eliminate officials!" Emperor Wu of Han explained the contradiction between imperial power and prime minister's power in one sentence.

Under this situation, Emperor Wu of Han began to deify his imperial power. He went to Mount Tai to perform the Fengshan ceremony. However, the methods proposed by Confucian scholars and alchemists were different. Finally, Emperor Wu of Han decided to use the etiquette of sacrifice to "Tai Yishen" to enfeoff Mount Tai, and then use the etiquette of sacrifice to Houtu to travel to the Zeran Mountains at the foot of Mount Tai. After that, Emperor Wu of Han accepted the tribute of officials in the Mingtang in Fenggao (now Tai'an City, Shandong).

During the reign of Mount Tai, Emperor Wu of Han did not forget to learn from gods and become immortals, and seek immortality. Moreover, the activities he conducted were much more lively than Qin Shihuang's journey to seek immortality a hundred years ago, such as summoning ghosts and gods, refining alchemy sand, waiting for gods, etc., and there were countless names.

At that time, in order to cater to Emperor Wu of Han to worship gods and seek immortals, "counties and countries all eliminated their roads and repaired famous palaces and temples." There were many buildings left in the Jieshi Mountain area to worship gods and seek immortals. On the southern foot of Jieshi Mountain, there are still remains of Emperor Wu of Han's palace at that time.

Emperor Wu of Han took advantage of the promotion of "Taiyi Shen" as the leader of the gods, and then ascended Mount Tai to hold the feudal ceremony, which successfully strengthened the imperial power to the highest point, and he himself became the unique "Emperor Wu of Han".

Therefore, using gods and immortals to package yourself is the fastest way to get attention, but what you need to note here is that using gods and immortals to package yourself is indeed the best way to improve your status, but if it is exposed, you will also be thrown into a land of no return.

Therefore, it also costs a price to use gods and immortals to deify themselves.

"Only by using this method, we can attract your father's attention to Zhinu, otherwise Zhinu will have no chance of winning..." Changsun Wuji looked at Li You and sighed.

Li You looked at Zhinu and said, "Uncle, let me think about it. After all, there are many uncertain factors in this matter. You must know that the Fourth Brother is not a simple person. If this matter is exposed, Zhinu will be in trouble."

"I know, I know...but this is our last chance. You must make Zhinu and Li Tai equally important in His Majesty's heart, so that I can help Zhinu and Li Tai fight. Otherwise, even I will be powerless."

As he said that, Changsun Wuji stood up and said, "I'll leave first, we won't meet for the time being. I'll come to see me after you have decided...!" Then, Li You and Li Zhi stood up together to send Changsun Wuji away.

After Changsun Wuji left, Li You and Li Zhi walked back to the living room again. At this time, Li Zhi looked at Li You with some fear and said, "Fifth Brother... Will the Fourth Brother really attack us..."

Li You looked back at Li Zhi and said, "I really want to say no, but the Tian family has no affection. Just think about your father and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and you should be able to understand something."

"Clam..." Li You's words made Li Zhi tremble all over.

Because Li Shimin was very cruel to the descendants of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, Li Jiancheng had six sons. In addition to the eldest son died young, there were five other people living at that time, namely Li Chengdao, Li Chengde, Li Chengxun, Li Chengming and Li Chengyi.

Li Yuanji also had five sons at that time, namely Li Chengye, Li Chengluan, Li Chengzhu, Li Chengyu, and Li Chengdu. These ten people were still children, the oldest was only in their teenage years, and the youngest was still in their infancy. However, Li Shimin had no sympathy for these nephews, but executed them all.

What's better is that although Li Shimin executed all the descendants of his elder brother and fourth brother, he did not completely eradicate the roots. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's daughters were not implicated.

After all, ancient Chinese politics was the competition stage for the main men, and women rarely influenced it. According to records, Li Jiancheng had five daughters and Li Yuanji had six daughters, and they should not have been killed.

"Fifth brother... How could the fourth brother treat us like this? This is a little too cruel...!" Li Zhi's eyes were scared and tears were filled with scare.

"Zhi Nu...If you became the crown prince and then become the emperor in the future, would you eradicate the roots like your father?" Li You looked at Li Zhi and asked.

"I don't know...Fifth brother, I definitely don't know. I will definitely protect my fourth brother and all my brothers. I will definitely not let them be in danger."

To be honest, Li Zhi was quite kind and filial. Li Zhi's oath was actually somewhat trustworthy. According to history, Li Zhi was gentle and kind by nature, but for the sake of power and interests, Changsun Wuji killed King Wu Li Ke and King Jing Li Yuanjing with Li Zhi's will on the charge of treason, and demoted King Jiangxia Li Daozong, while Li Zhi accused Changsun Wuji of his behavior.

The other brothers really didn't move, but Li Zhi had a bug, and this bug was Wu Zetian. Li Zhi did not attack his brother, but Wu Zetian killed all the Li family.

As soon as Li Zhi died, Wu Zetianren established a rumoral system, which stipulated that anyone could inform. At the same time, Empress Wu successively appointed a large number of cruel officials such as Suo Yuanli, Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen, Hou Sizhi, etc., which formed a very terrifying political atmosphere inside and outside the court.

The kings of Li were naturally unwilling to sit and wait for death. In August of the fourth year of Chuigong, the governor of Bozhou, Li Chong, the king of Langya, raised troops in Bozhou, and the governor of Yuzhou, Li Zhen, the governor of Yuzhou, raised an army in Yuzhou, responded. Empress Wu sent Qiu Shenji, Wei Chong attacked him, and Li Chong, the king of Langya, and died seven days after seven days; in September, the king of Yue, Li Zhen, committed suicide by defeating all the kings of Li family, and asked Zhou Xing and others to interrogate them, forcing King Han Li Yuanjia, King Lu Li Lingkui, Duke Huang of Huang, Duke Li Rong of Dongguan County, Princess Changle, and other close friends to commit suicide. The royal family of the Tang Dynasty was killed and almost all were killed. The young and weak survivors were also flown to Lingnan, and hundreds of his own party members were killed.

After that, Wu Chengsi made public opinion for Wu Zetian to proclaim himself emperor, and tried his best to suggest to Wu Zetian that "go to the descendants of the Tang family and punish the ministers who do not support them", and began to massacre the Li Tang royal family.

King Li Xunqi of Changle, the son of Li Yuanying of Teng, the 22nd son of Li Yuan, the Emperor Taizu of Tang, was in the Chuigong Hall, and six brothers were trapped in the imperial prison. The successor King Jiang, Li Wei, the son of King Jiang, Li Yun of Taizong, was appointed as the governor of Yizhou, and Chuigongzhong was killed by Zetian; King Lingling, Li Jun of King Cao, the eldest son of King Cao, the 14th son of Emperor Taizong, was appointed as the Bie Jia of Nanzhou, and Chuigongzhong was killed together with his younger brother Li Jie.

Sipu King Li Xin, the eldest son of Li Tai, the fourth son of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, was framed and demoted to the governor of Zhaozhou by cruel officials; Sipu King Li Fan, the son of Emperor Taizong, Li Yan, the sixth son of Emperor Shu, was sent back to Chengzhou and died in Yongchang Nian. Shu Yuanming: Li Yuan's eighteenth son, Yongchang Nian, and his son Li Dan were framed by Qiu Shenji and were killed.

In the first year of Zaichu, Wu Chengsi instructed the cruel official Zhou Xing to falsely accuse Emperor Gaozong of the third son of Qi, Li Shangjin, and Emperor Gaozong's fourth son of Li Sujie to rebel. On the way to escort, Wu Chengsi sent someone to hang Li Sujie, and Li Shangjin committed suicide, and killed all his soldiers and their party members.

Li Shangjin's sons Yizhen, Yimei, Yizhang, Yihuan, Yijin, Yijin, Yixun, and others were all assigned to Xianzhou. Except for Yixun, all the sons died in Xianzhou. Li Sujie's sons Ying, Wan, Ji, and nine others were killed, and the other sons Lin, Guan, Qi, and Qingu were ordered to ban Leizhou for a long time because they were young. In August of that year, Wu Chengsi killed 12 members of the royal family of Li Jing, including Li Ying, and whipped and killed the two sons of the former crown prince Li Xian.

According to historical records, Wu Zetian killed nearly 300 descendants of the Li family. Li You had only one attitude towards Wu Zetian and seized the opportunity to kill directly. Wu Zetian made contributions to the Tang Dynasty. For example, after she ascended the throne, she attached importance to the development of agriculture and issued a series of measures for agricultural development. She promoted and reused some officials from common people to recruit talents, continued the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan rule, and allowed the politics, economy, culture and other aspects of the time to continue to develop.

Including her improving the imperial examination system at that time, a series of measures were taken.

But Li You still had to kill Wu Zetian... Why? Because Li You's surname is Li, Li You can't sit idly by and watch Wu Zetian kill his relatives ruthlessly. More importantly, Li You is confident that he can do better than Wu Zetian, so Wu Zetian's best not to appear in front of Li You, otherwise Li You will try his best to kill Wu Zetian.

"Zhinu, it's great for you to think like this... With your promise, the fifth brother will be relieved. You don't have any other ideas. As long as the fifth brother is here, the fifth brother will die by himself and must keep you safe."

"Well...!" Li Zhi nodded vigorously and said, "What the fifth brother said is Zhinu. Zhinu can not believe everyone in the world, but Zhinu will not believe in the fifth brother, because the fifth brother has indeed saved Zhinu with his life."

Li You smiled slightly as he looked at Li Zhi's grateful eyes, his smile full of doting.
