Wu Zhao suddenly ran out of words.
If she had just told a few people about this matter and spread the word, she would have been secretly executed long ago. Thinking this way, the other party had indeed done her a big favor.
Think about it too.
This person is Gaozu Jieyu, who has been in the palace for decades. These tricks of hers are probably leftover from other people's tricks.
Wu Zhao sighed, stood up and walked out, but as he approached the door, he said, "I remember that you, old man, also have a nephew. He has a good future. I just hope you can cherish it."
"Are you threatening me?" Xue Jieyu held her hand with the beads and paused slightly.
"Threat?" Wu Zhao shook his head: "How can I, a weak woman with no strength, be so capable?"
“Weak woman?”
"The eunuchs and maidservants are obedient to your orders. Now in the court, Li Yifu is taking the lead in facing you. Oh, if these women are still weak, I am afraid that no one in this world can be called strong."
Wu Zhao was a little surprised. Why did the other party know everything?
"In that case, you should also know that it is not me who threatens your nephew."
"Ha." Xue Jieyu said calmly: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Everything is their fate."
"Their lives?" Wu Zhao frowned and shouted: "Everyone in the world knows that fate is unpredictable, but they don't believe in fate! You must know that your nephew has a bright future. If he is harmed by others in the future, it will be your fault. !”
"What do you mean? Speak clearly!" Xue Jieyu also frowned, losing her previous indifference.
Wu Zhao came back and said in a solemn tone:
"Who is it, don't you know in your heart? Who has been monopolizing the power and commanding the three places in these years? And who is preventing His Majesty from promoting his cronies?"
"That person wants to exclude all his relatives and bring all the powerful people into the court. If this continues, the court will inevitably be in chaos, and your nephew may be the next person to be excluded!"
At this point, Wu Zhao's tone slowly became gentle and said: "You are already old, and your nephew can still come to see you, but if you continue, I'm afraid you won't be able to see him anymore."
Xue Jieyu's hand holding the Buddhist beads trembled slightly.
"If you become the master of the harem, wouldn't you be the same as him? You will exclude dissidents."
"No!" Wu Zhao said in a serious tone: "Excluding dissidents is a means of stability, who is not? But I, Wu Zhaoyi, can swear an oath in front of the Buddha! If I become the queen, I will definitely urge your majesty to drive out all those so-called aristocratic families. go out!"
"If relatives are not allowed to participate in politics or serve as officials in the court, that is a disaster!"
"And I can also guarantee you that your nephew can be promoted to a noble rank, even if he is made prime minister!"
Wu Zhao's voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word struck Xue Jieyu's heart.
Seeing her like this, Wu Zhao stopped talking.
"I've already said what needs to be said. Just make your own decision and leave."
After the words fell, Wu Zhao stood up and left.
"Wait!"
Seeing Wu Zhao was about to leave, Xue Jieyu closed her eyes tightly and sighed.
"Wu Zhaoyi...you win!"
Wu Zhao looked back at Xue Jieyu, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then left.
....
More than a month passed.
During the great changes in the palace, something suddenly came out, which completely threw the Queen into the cold palace.
Rumor has it that Empress Wang used witchcraft to curse Wu Meiniang and her son Li Hong.
The evidence for the rumor was conclusive at the time, but her backer, Sun Wuji, seemed to disappear at this moment. Instead of thinking about her speaking, he seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
After being charged with a crime, she realized that she was just a pawn of some people.
At this time, some eunuchs recently said that Concubine Xiao Shu had a close relationship with the Queen. Afterwards, the two were imprisoned together in Chengxiang Hall, and no one was allowed to enter or leave!
In the harem, Wu Mei has become the leader of the concubines, just one rank away from the master of the harem.
Regarding this matter, Changsun Wuji naturally knew the consequences and sent many people to dissuade Li Zhi, but he rejected them one by one.
Changsun Wuji suppressed his anger when he was angry.
Things have reached this point in just over a month. The matter of deposing Wang Liwu is no longer just a harem matter, but a struggle for power!
Changsun Wuji changed.
From the beginning, he vowed to prevent Li Zhi from being bullied. Now he has been in power for several years, but he is obsessed with power.
If he gives in, all the authority he has worked so hard to establish over the years will collapse!
And Li Zhi will also completely take back his power, and the consequences for him, even if they are good, will probably not be much better.
And he had also vaguely realized that Wu Zhao was not a mortal, let alone an ordinary person. If she was allowed to successfully ascend to the position of queen, he might never be able to turn around again.
The most irritating thing was that one night, a dark figure suddenly stood at the head of his bed and said inexplicably, "This shows the original intention of Taizong Lier and others." 】
When he woke up later, he was gone and looked like a ghost!
But he could still tell from the voice that it sounded like Yuan Tiangang.
When he thought of this, he felt a little scared in his heart. There was a great heavenly guard in his courtyard who spent a lot of money to come here. Even so, the other party could still get close, and he was standing beside his bed!
If so, wouldn't it mean that if Yuan Tiangang wanted to kill him, it would be a casual matter?
He could only hope that this was a dream, caused by the ghosts in his heart.
After more than a month, things gradually got out of control.
Some ministers headed by Li Yifu have all received rewards, and they are even openly discussing how to deal with him now!
Now when he went to court, Li Zhi changed his appearance, with a strong sense of self-confidence, and an imperial majesty that was beginning to take shape.
In his eyes, Changsun Wuji was no longer an insurmountable mountain, but a ditch that could be crossed sooner or later.
Afterwards, Li Zhi promoted more than a dozen ministers to their posts in front of Changsun Wuji.
After that, Li Zhi met with several people led by Changsun Wuji alone and went to the backyard to talk.
It was autumn now, the air was crisp and the breeze was blowing, but the blue sky made all of them feel uneasy.
They all knew that this conversation must be inseparable from the issue of deposing Wang Liwu.
Gradually, the two of them followed Changsun Wuji to the courtyard next to the Tai Chi Hall.
Following were Zhu Suiliang and Li.
Standing still in the courtyard, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but sneer, feeling as if he was moved by the scene.
"This scene is so similar to decades ago..."
"Remembering the dispute between the kings of Wei, the late emperor ordered me, Fang Xuanling, you, and him to discuss matters alone."
"That day, the late emperor complained so much that he even swung his sword to kill himself. The four of us desperately begged the emperor for his holy will, and finally fought for the late emperor to win the crown prince of Jin."
"Now that I think about it, everything was planned by the late emperor. Now if history repeats itself, what should we do? If there are changes, who will it be?"
