All the people looked at Li Dan with blood at the corner of his mouth and coughing so loudly that they all avoided him. They were already afraid of the emperor, but now they were even more afraid in front of him.
Of course, the biggest fear is some infectious diseases...
Li Dan deliberately wiped the corner of his mouth with his arm, making it stained with conspicuous blood. Then he raised his head and looked at his mother and said:
"The sky and the earth are filled and empty, the four seasons are regulated, the emperors come and go, and the five fortunes are determined!"
"I, the great ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, liberated the people and made great contributions to the world. Taizong was praised as a saint in civil and military affairs. It is rare to see him in a thousand years. Gaozong opened up the territory and worshiped heaven and earth. I have been a holy master for three generations!"
Speaking of this, Li Dan pretended to look lonely, sighed, and couldn't help but increase his voice:
"Of course, there are unforeseen circumstances. My brother conspired against me, my rebellious ministers provoked me, and dangers occurred frequently. Li Zhen and others started to cause chaos, and they peeked into the land of the Tang Dynasty from the edge!"
"If the queen mother had not been calm in the chaos, but wise and decisive, and turned the tide to this point, my country, the Tang Dynasty, might no longer exist."
"It is said that after three generations, the Wu family became the emperor, and the mother-in-law was destined to be the emperor. She should be the emperor of Yongchang, and the Tang Dynasty would be the same. This is the true destiny given by heaven!"
"I am currently suffering from illness, it must be God's will!"
Li Dan pointed at Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi and other Wu family members: "Now the loyal words of the ministers are offensive, and I know it very well."
Wu Chengsi and others didn't look at Li Dan, so why were they pointing at them with angry expressions on their faces? Didn't you make an agreement with the Queen Mother?
They just recited the words, but they didn't do anything...
Wu Chengsi is a bad person, Li Dan doesn't know, and Wu Sansi and others are not bad people, but he is attached to Wu Chengsi and is a loser, so he can only follow. Besides, they are arranged by Wu Meiniang, and they will not listen. ah?
As he spoke, Li Dan slowly bent down, but as soon as he bent halfway, his back was froze by a force of energy.
At this moment, a heartbreaking pain almost made him grin.
Li Dan secretly thought that it must be Li Yunxiao who was warning him again, because Yuan Tiangang would not hit him.
Thinking of this, he stopped bowing and stood upright and said:
"The virtues of the Wu family, the auspicious opening of the sky, and the restoration of mountains and rivers, are beyond my power to suppress. If my father is still alive and knows that it is difficult to disobey God's will, I should give in to it."
"Now that my mother has succeeded to the throne, I am worthy of being a minister of heaven and earth. I hope that after my mother succeeds to the throne, she can rule all nations, comply with the orders of the gods, and comfort her subjects! Cough! Cough! Cough! It can also comfort the bodies and minds of my children and ministers. Na..."
Wu Meiniang's eyes were slightly red. She hoped that Li Dan was telling the truth...
When Li Dan saw Wu Meiniang's appearance, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. His expression no longer looked sick as before, but he solemnly said:
"Everything my mother, my son, and my ministers said was from the bottom of my heart, and there was absolutely no lie!!"
Wu Meiniang nodded slowly. Originally, she wanted Wu Chengsi or Wu Youxu to continue to persuade them to take the blame, and then if something went wrong, they would be exiled.
Unexpectedly, Li Dan actually stood up!
Today's emperor comes forward to persuade, which is better than thousands of Wu Chengsi and others!
"Okay, if I have this kind of intention, how can I, my mother..."
Just when I was about to say how could I not rely on you, the thin clouds in the sky were suddenly illuminated by the sun, a drizzle fell, and there seemed to be colorful clouds emerging from the horizon!
I don't know who suddenly shouted, raised his hand and pointed to the sky and shouted: "Ah! Come on, come on! Look! What is that!?"
"Holy crap! Look! That's... is that a phoenix?"
"This is incredible, Feng Yi Shendu, this is a good sign!"
"Where is it? Where is it? Point to it!"
There was a commotion in the crowd, and they all looked up.
Sure enough, in the hazy drizzle, there was indeed a colorful shadow passing by the Zetian Gate. Before it could be seen clearly, it had already soared away.
In the distance, among the crowd, Li Yunxiao and Yuan Tiangang, wearing masks, watched all this closely with their hands behind their backs.
After a long while, Li Yunxiao said calmly: "The nectar falls from the sky, and the colorful clouds cover the body, returning like a phoenix, and the auspicious light falls..."
Yuan Tiangang said slowly: "What? Do you regret not letting her become emperor earlier?"
"Regret? What is there to regret? If she had been allowed to become emperor earlier, with her temperament at that time, she would have slaughtered the Li Tang clan long ago."
Before he finished speaking, Li Yunxiao continued with a slightly raised corner of his mouth: "Brother Yuan, just watch. Sometimes, stubbornness and stubbornness require accommodation."
Yuan Tiangang tilted his head slightly: "What? Now you can come and teach me as a brother?"
"What's wrong with you? If Taizong comes here, do you think he won't hit you!?"
"Taizong will not fight with me, and I will not fight with Taizong."
"So you are very stubborn and stubborn. Didn't I say that sometimes, you are so stubborn..."
"...."
Here, Li Yunxiao was quarreling with Yuan Tiangang, while under the Tianmen, Wu Chengsi took the lead in shouting that the auspicious arrival of the phoenix into the world, who was destined by destiny, would surely help the people and make a living!
And then, something even more surprising happened!
A large flock of birds appeared densely and flew towards the south.
Everyone knows that when the season comes, geese and other birds will fly towards the south, but if there is a phantom of the phoenix, then things will change.
This is a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix!
Wu Meiniang is also confused. Who is helping her to do this in the dark, or is it really destiny?
At this time, the commotion among the people became even greater, and they shouted louder than before for Wu Meiniang to succeed and proclaim the emperor.
Wu Meiniang slowly opened her arms and shouted: "Okay! The sun and moon are in the sky, shining down on the earth!"
"There are hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix above, and thousands of people petitioning below. This is the will of heaven. In this case, how can the Ai family go against the will of heaven and the people's hearts? Leave behind my son's wishes!?"
"From now on, the name of the Ai family will be changed to Wu Zhao! As the sun and the moon, I wish to carry forward the importance of the country and benefit all people!"
Li Dan saw everyone looking at him and couldn't help raising his arms and shouted: "Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
As he spoke, everyone prostrated on the ground again, shouting "Long live!"
Wu Zhao looked at all this with unspeakable emotions in his heart.
Over thousands of years, he created an almost impossible miracle, and she was also the first female emperor since ancient times!
Then, Wu Zhao smiled and announced that he would change Yuan Tianzhi and grant amnesty to the world!
This proves that she was not the emperor who was snatched away, but was given by heaven, and heaven's appointment can also be called the emperor's appointment, because everyone knows that this position was deliberately given up by Li Dan, and no one loses face.
In the midst of the joy, suddenly an old minister with white hair and beard walked out from among the ministers.
He shouted in a slightly hoarse voice: "The Queen Mother has ascended the throne, obeys the heavens and responds to people, and shines like the sun and moon on all the people. However, I have an intention to report!"
The person who spoke was Cen Changqian, the prime minister who existed when Li Zhi was in power.
When Li Zhen and others were plotting rebellion, he stopped the rest of his followers and tried to persuade them with good words.
As Li Yifu and others resigned and returned home, he was the only old prime minister left who still existed from Li Zhi.
Wu Zhao said calmly: "What do you want to say?"
Cen Changqian pondered for a moment, clasped his fists and saluted: "Since ancient times, the same surname has been inherited from the same surname in the dynasty. Now the Queen Mother is proclaimed the emperor. The Wu family is the most noble in the world. The princes and kings all have different surnames. This is against the etiquette and is also harmful to the reputation of the royal family. Therefore, I sincerely request you. The Queen Mother gave her the surname Wu to show that mother and son are of the same mind and are loyal and filial to all people!"
