In June of the sixth year of Yonghui, Wu Zetian finally began to emit his most fierce attack. On the fifth day of June, Wu Zetian framed the wife of the Queen of Kings, Liu, who was the wife of Wei, using magic to try to subdue Wu Zetian.

A series of evidence made Li Zhi furious, and all Li Zhi issued an order to prevent Empress Wang’s mother, Mrs. Liu, from entering the palace!

Just a month later, Li Zhi issued an order again, demoting Empress Wang's uncle Liu Shi to the governor of Suizhou (now Suining County, Sichuan). On the way, he was demoted to Rongzhou (now Rong County, Sichuan) for the crime of leaking Chinese bans.

Since then, Wu Zetian finally cut off the internal and external contacts of Queen Wang, leaving her in a dilemma of being isolated and helpless.

Wu Zhaoyi knew in her heart that her family was humble and had no backing. She had to use a group of ambitions and dissatisfied with reality to help her, even those who were ambitious but could waving their flags and shouting were willing to do so.

Almost all the people who were excluded by the old ministers became Wu Zetian's Wu Zetian's Wu Zetian. In August of this year, Chang'an was the hot season of the hot summer, and the confrontation between the Wu Zetian and the anti-wu faction also entered a white-hot stage.

Xu Jingzong and others said in the court: "After the country bumpkin harvested wheat for a few more years, he wanted to change his wife; as the emperor, as the emperor, wanted to choose another queen, what does it have to do with others? He was still talking about it."

But the old ministers fought hard.

On this day, after Li Zhi retired from the court, he directly summoned five prime ministers including Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Li Jie, and Yu Zhining to the inner palace to discuss matters...!

....................................

"The sun is really too dazzling." Li You walked out of his Dunhuafang. During this period, Li Zhi had not been to court for nearly a year. Li Zhi often came to Dunhuafang to play, but Li You did not let Li Zhi talk about court affairs in Dunhuafang.

Li You told Li Zhi that the meaning of his existence was to shock those old ministers. Li You didn't want to know or want to know the rest. Li Zhi was really grateful to Li You for his words.

So there was no talk about the court again, but did Li You really not know about the affairs of the Tang Dynasty?

The answer is of course impossible. The Grand Duke is Li You's intelligence organization. Almost everything that happened in the court will tell Li You as soon as possible. Just like Li Zhi summoned five prime ministers to discuss matters today, Li You also knew it early.

"Fifth Brother... Let's go swimming together." Li Mingda stuck to Li You's side and was so cute that he wanted to go to the swimming pool to play in the water.

"Yes, dad... let's go. At worst, I will help you when the water fight is over, not my aunt." Li Heng smiled and agreed.

Li You looked at the big and small girl and twitched slightly: "Don't worry, I know too much about you two. You are just a wolf and a miserable person. If I believe you, I will be a fool. Now I say I am the same as me, but when I get in the water, you two can greet me. Forget it, I'm the best here."

"Fifth Brother..." Li Mingda directly turned Li You's face to himself and said, "If you don't go, you will have to keep looking at me!"

"You are so poisonous..." Li You laughed: "But you still have the heart to cause trouble for me now. Don't you know that your ninth brother is in trouble."

"Ah..." Li Mingda put down Li You's head and asked, "Brother Jiu is the emperor, what trouble can he have?"

"What trouble can you have? It's not that Wu Zhaoyi. If you want to be the queen, your ninth brother will work hard to support him. Just now, your ninth brother summoned all five prime ministers to the palace. I think you're going to fight to the death today." After that, Li You smiled slightly.

"Ah...Fifth Brother, then you have to help Brother Ninth...!" Li Mingda was surprised, and then he quickly pleaded for mercy.

Looking at Li Mingda's pleading, Li You laughed: "You two guys really gave me food. If something happened to you, your ninth brother came over overnight to plead and ask me to help you.

Now that something happened to your Ninth Brother, you desperately beg me to help you Ninth Brother again. Oh... you two asked me to help each other?"

"Fifth Brother... You are not so good, you know everything. Of course, Brother Jiu and I depend on you. This time, Brother Jiu summoned all five prime ministers. It is obvious that Brother Jiu is going to fight to the death. If you don't go to help Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu will definitely be unlucky this time. You also know that those old ministers are so stubborn, especially the old man Chu Suiliang, who is really...!"

Li Mingda was so nagging.

The fact is really the same as Li Mingda said. Today, Li Zhi gathered the five prime ministers together, and he really wanted to make a lot of money. Just after the five prime ministers, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Li Jie, Yu Zhining and Shangguan Yi walked into the hall together.

The five of them also found Wu Zhaoyi sitting behind the curtain to monitor, and the atmosphere became tense.

Because these five people also knew that someone might be seeing blood here today. Although the five people had a good chat with Li Zhi at the beginning, when Li Zhi carefully highlighted his preparation to propose the change of Queen...!

Chu Suiliang was the first to jump out: "Your Majesty... I have been entrusted by the late emperor to assist you. If you do not fulfill your loyalty and responsibility, you may not have the face to meet the late emperor."

"Celebrity Chu, I just want to change the return of the queen. You also know that the queen now has no descendants, and the Wu family has a son...!"

But before Li Zhi finished speaking, Chu Suiliang, who was on the other hand, immediately refuted: "The empress is of noble origin, and it was the one whom the late emperor took the favor to His Majesty. The late emperor once instructed his ministers to take care of Jiaer and Jiawo.

Now I have not heard of the Queen's faults, and the matter of deposing the Queen's re-establishment cannot be easily decided. I will not violate my promise to the Queen in order to please the Emperor."

"You...!" Li Zhi was furious and pointed at Chu Suiliang and cursed: "What if I have to depose the queen?"

Chu Suiliang snorted: "It's not impossible for Your Majesty to re-establish the queen, but Wu's family cannot do it. She once served the previous emperor. Everyone knows this. If you do this, what will the people in the world think?"

Oh... this is very ugly. The so-called "slapping people without slapping people in the face, and scolding people without revealing their shortcomings. Chu Suiliang's words were directly stabbed Wu Zetian with a knife.

Li Zhi was also very angry: "Fifth brother said that I did not violate any rules when marrying Mei Niang. What are you? How dare you slander me like this?"

The basic political system of the Tang Dynasty was the "three-provincial system". Any court document must be drafted by the Secretariat, reviewed by the Secretariat, and implemented by the Secretariat.

In addition to the queen, the concubines in the Tang Dynasty harem all had formal ranks. For example, the four concubines were the first rank and the nine concubines were the second rank. The emperor had to go through legal procedures in three provinces to take effect before the emperor could make the imperial concubines. The emperor personally said nothing.

When Wu Zetian was "destroying the king and establishing Wu", she was already Zhaoyi (the second rank), the head of the emperor's nine concubines. Only by completing the legal procedures of the "three provinces" could she become Zhaoyi. The entire procedure of the "three provinces" was controlled by Changsun Wuji at that time. Changsun Wuji himself prosecuted the Zhongshu Ling, Chu Suiliang was the right servant of the Shangshu Ling, Lai Ji, and the subordinate minister Han Yuan were both firmly opposed to "destroying the king and establishing Wu".

In other words, Wu Zetian decided that Zhaoyi was approved by Changsun Wuji's party, otherwise the "three-province" procedure would not be completed.

Since Changsun Wuji's party had agreed that Wu Zetian was wrong to be Emperor Gaozong of Tang, what qualifications were there to use the wrong objection to Wu Zetian as the queen? It can be seen that Changsun Wuji's party's opposition to "destroying the king and establishing the Wu" was not opposed to wrong, but a pure power struggle.
