A few days passed.
After Li Zhi announced the abolition of the king and established military forces in the court, all civil and military officials were both happy and worried.
They were happy because they thought they would get a reward if they agreed. This reward really made them jealous.
What worries them is their own position. They all follow Changsun Wuji. If they reveal themselves now, they will die without knowing why.
This has led to most people being silent now, watching the fire from the other side, preparing to see the situation before making a choice. After all, the ship can only be sailed with caution.
How many of those who can be officials are stupid? Even if you have glory and wealth, you must have a life to enjoy it.
At this time, in a forest.
Changsun Wuji and Queen Wang were discussing something among them.
"I heard that you went to see Li Yunxiao not long ago?"
Changsun Wuji's tone was rather cold, with a hint of questioning in his tone.
Queen Wang frowned and nodded: "Yes, I did go to see him, but the conversation was not harmonious. He even killed my eunuch. He is really..."
"That's enough!" Changsun Wuji interrupted her directly.
"How many times have I told you that as long as I support you, your position as the master of the harem will not be shaken even if others are eloquent. But why do you want to provoke him! You don't know that he is a vengeful man who will take revenge. Crazy!?”
Changsun Wuji has been operating in the court for so many years, and now he not only represents the power of the court, but also binds many aristocratic families. It is precisely because of this that Li Zhi has been unable to take action against him.
And he pushed Queen Wang to reach this position. He originally wanted to find someone with good looks, outstanding talents, and a straightforward personality.
Because such a person can capture Li Zhi's heart but will not escape his control and is easily guessed.
What's more, he is not helping Queen Wang, but more himself.
Queen Wang was born in a noble family, and her mother's family was closely related to the Guanlong clan. These wealthy families had been married for generations and had long been members of her own family.
The Queen Wang is the spokesperson of the entire Guanlong family in the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty. As the leader of Guanlong Xungui, Changsun Wuji has to help both emotionally and rationally.
But he never dreamed that this Queen Wang, who had a straightforward personality, was really a headache. She was happy, but almost to death!
"Why are you afraid of him?" Queen Wang asked with a confused look on her face: "I know that he has several tokens in his hand, but the late emperor has passed away, how many waves can one token bring out?"
"You...you are really unreasonable. If it were that simple, would I not provoke him for so long? Can't you use your brain?"
Queen Wang frowned slightly: "Huh, I know what you are worried about, but in my opinion, Li Yunxiao is just being praised by you. He has no official position and is not from a wealthy family, so why should I be afraid?"
"Speaking of which, I want to ask you, what happened to Li Yi Mansion? He is your subordinate!"
When Changsun Wuji heard this, his heart sank. This crack appeared. It was obvious that she no longer trusted him very much.
"He may have been secretly bribed by Wu Zhaoyi, or he may be a victim carried out by His Majesty. There is nothing to worry about."
"On the other hand, your Majesty, you are not favored in the first place, but you act arbitrarily in everything. First, you introduced Wu Zhaoyi as a slave, which set you on fire, and now you are still arrogant. Don't you know when to restrain yourself?"
Queen Wang said with a cold face: "That's me using her to check Concubine Xiao Shu! She is just a sharp blade in my hand!"
"Besides, you didn't stop it when you found out, you just acquiesced!"
Changsun Wuji sighed deeply: "Yes, she is indeed a sharp blade. It's my fault that I underestimated her at the beginning, but now this sharp blade is facing you..."
Queen Wang took a deep breath and closed her eyes: "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, you are no exception, and I am no exception!"
Changsun Wuji said in a low voice: "If you lose this time, you will lose because of the word forbearance... Oh!!"
With a sigh, Changsun Wuji continued: "Since ancient times, there are no emperors without three palaces and six courtyards. Your Majesty's love will never be given to just one person. If you endure it, do what he likes, and be polite to others, Your Majesty will not see it." ?"
Queen Wang closed her eyes directly, as if she didn't hear anything.
She was born into a noble family, and her skills in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and music were inferior to hers. What's more, she had been spoiled since she was a child. Now, as the master of the harem, why should she endure everything?
Changsun Wuji looked at her and shook his head: "I'd better try to win over the people in the harem recently, and treat others with kindness. For the rest... I will find a way."
After the words fell, Changsun Wuji turned and left.
After he left, Queen Wang slowly opened her eyes.
"None of them are useful!"
....
At the same time, in the harem, Wu Zhao, who heard the news, thought about it all night and didn't understand why this good thing happened so suddenly?
And she also secretly contacted the Xuantian Sect. Someone in the Xuantian Sect said that these were Li Zhi's methods and that he couldn't help it.
Wu Zhao felt that things were not that simple.
He and Li Zhi get along day and night, and she is very familiar with his courage and methods.
You shouldn't fall out now.
But now, she has remembered a person's name, Li Yifu!
If she becomes the master of the harem, she will definitely give him a reward!
After thinking about it all night without rest, Wu Zhao got up early in the morning and headed to a secluded courtyard with his child in his arms.
Now that the action has begun in the court, she knows that this is not enough to bring down the Queen. If this is the case, she must also start taking action in the harem, and fast!
For the royal family, especially for Li Zhi, there are two extremely special people.
Mrs. Lu, Li Zhi's wet nurse, originally had a higher status in the harem, and this has become even more so since Li Zhi became emperor.
Xue Jieyu, Li Zhi’s teacher, has been his companion since childhood. From the fact that he has accompanied her to visit thousands of temples, it is clear how much Li Zhi likes her.
Both of them are among the people Li Zhi respects the most, and now she has come to Lu's courtyard.
Behind him were some servants bringing various prepared delicacies, and Wu Zhao was preparing to entertain Lu.
When Mrs. Lu saw that the visitor was Wu Zhao, she also stepped forward to work, and after a while, they were arranged neatly.
In the past few years, the two of them went from being strangers to talking and laughing now, which was also due to her efforts.
After a few glasses of wine, Mrs. Lu wiped the corners of her mouth, stood up and saluted Wu Zhaoyi.
"Among all your Majesty's concubines, you are the one who treats me the best, Zhaoyi. For this, I am very grateful!"
Wu Zhao quickly stepped forward to hold him up.
"What are you talking about? What about being grateful or not? If you hadn't taken care of His Majesty and taught me etiquette these years, how could I have dressed His Majesty appropriately?"
Lu laughed: "Now that you are Zhaoyi, I am just a slave of the royal family."
Wu Zhao shook his head: "No, you are wrong. If you hadn't raised His Majesty, how could I have met Your Majesty?"
"Besides, let alone me, even the Queen must be respectful to you."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, a wry smile flashed in her eyes.
"The Queen empress has a clear etiquette for the world, and her superiority and inferiority are clear. I, the servants, dare not expect the empress to show courtesy."
