Li Ke couldn't help being shocked when he heard the news about the Xuanwu Gate incident. Although he was angry that Li Shimin had allowed himself to be ordered by Wu Meiniang and caused betrayal and separation, he did not want to kill his father or king.
From the beginning to the end, Li Ke only wanted to suppress Wu Meiniang, who was on the stage of history early, and save his own life. Everything he did was a last resort choice made by being forced to do so.
"General Yuchi, you are right. The Tang Dynasty cannot have two emperors, but the one in Chang'an City is killing Zhongliang and allowing the witch to harm the country. Do you want me to sit back and do nothing?" Li Ke asked.
"Li Zhi is begging me every day, hoping that I can release his mother. Wu Meiniang's methods are extremely ruthless. Isn't the death of Qin Zaiming's family humiliating enough?" Yuchi Gong secretly clenched his fists, stared angrily, and bit Molar said.
"This witch must be eradicated, otherwise our foundation of the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed. But today's Holy Emperor cannot listen to a kind word, and no one can say a word to him. What should we do?" Yuchi Gong continued.
At this time, Li Ke thought of Li Chunfeng, the first prophet of the Tang Dynasty. According to historical records, this person was a strange person who deduced that "the queen rules the world". Logically speaking, he should have appeared next to Li Shimin a long time ago? Could it be that Wu Meiniang appeared fifty years earlier than in history, so did Li Chunfeng appear at the wrong time?
"Master Yuchi, do you know a Taoist named Li Chunfeng?" Li Ke asked.
"That Taoist priest? The Holy One used to like him the most. I heard that he has been predicting the future in the Taoist temple during this period. I haven't seen him for a long time." Yu Chigong replied.
When Li Ke heard this, Li Chunfeng had appeared. Then it shouldn't be far from the time he deduced the prophecy that "the queen rules the world".
I believe that when the time comes, Li Shimin will take Li Chunfeng's words to heart. No matter how much he doted on Wu Meiniang, he would never give up his kingdom to others.
"Sooner or later, the situation between the two emperors of the Tang Dynasty will be properly resolved. How will General Yuchi go back to deliver his mission now?"
Li Ke was very worried about what happened after Yuchi Gong returned to Chang'an City. In order to avenge her brother, what should Wu Meiniang do if she instigated Li Shimin to kill Yuchi Gong?
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, oh, no, Your Majesty! There is no need to worry about the generals. It is the time to employ people in Chang'an City right now, and many generals in the court are taking orders from me. If Wu Meiniang has someone available, she will definitely not personally recruit me. Take him out of the prison."
"As for that Wu Wo Zhu, I have long disliked him, so I will kill him."
Li Ke did not expect that Yuchi Gong would follow everyone and change his name to "Your Majesty". It seemed that Yuchi Gong was well prepared.
Once Li Shimin persists in his obsession, the Li Tang Dynasty must not fall into the hands of outsiders. No matter which prince is in power, at least the Tang Dynasty will still belong to the Li family.
Yuchi Gong used the excuse that his deputy commander had died in battle, and asked Chang'an City to lead troops back to the DPRK. Wu Mei Niang was itching her teeth, but the military generals in the DPRK had no choice but to follow Yuchi Gong's lead. Once he was punished again, it might arouse a bigger threat. of resentment.
Wu Meiniang had no choice but to swallow her bad breath and ordered Wu Wozhu to be buried with dignity. Yu Chigong did not dare to stay for a moment after returning to Chang'an City.
He went directly to the Taoist temple to find Li Chunfeng, whom he once hated the most. In the past, Yu Chigong only thought that he was talking nonsense and talking nonsense to please the emperor.
Now Li Tang's empire is actually controlled by his mouth. Although Yu Chigong does not believe in Li Chunfeng's evil ways.
But he believed in Li Ke. If what Li Ke said was true, it would be a good thing to avoid the dispute between father and son.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple, Yuchigong saw Li Chunfeng rushing out, as if he was in a hurry to go out. Yuchigong hurriedly dismounted his horse and stopped Li Chunfeng.
"Daozhang Li, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Li Chunfeng looked up and saw that the person coming was General Yuchi. He hurriedly grabbed Yuchi Gong's wrist and asked nervously: "Is your Majesty okay?"
"Well, Your Majesty, be well."
Li Chunfeng pulled Yu Chigong aside and whispered: "Recently, Pindao has used what he has learned throughout his life to predict an unspeakable secret and is eager to enter the palace to meet the saint."
Seeing no one around, Li Chunfeng whispered in Yuchi Gong's ear: "It's terrible for Pindao to see 'the rising power of the king of Western Shu', to see 'the queen taking charge of the world', and to see 'the decline of the Li Tang Dynasty'. "
When Li Chunfeng said this, Yuchi Gong didn't show any surprise, which surprised him deeply.
"Taoist Master, you may have been in the Taoist temple for a long time and you may not know what happened."
"May I ask, sir, if the 'Queen who rules the world' you deduced is the Queen whose surname is 'Wu'?"
Li Chunfeng stared at Yuchi Gong with wide eyes and thought, "Is General Yuchi better at calculating than himself?" '
"Taoist Priest, the King of Shu, Li Ke, has proclaimed himself emperor in Licheng. Wu Meiniang is by your side every day. It has been rumored among the people that the witch has brought harm to the country for many days."
"My general came here this time because I was dragged by the former King of Shu, Li Ke. I hope you can attack the Holy Emperor and tell him about your inference that 'Queen Wu is in charge of the world'. I hope he will be wary of it."
Li Chunfeng slapped himself hard on the head and muttered: "Hey~ It's still a step too late!"
"General Yuchi, Pindao will attack Mian Sheng right now. I hope your majesty can believe Pindao!"
Above the main hall.
Li Shimin has not seen Li Chunfeng for a long time. Today, Li Chunfeng can appear in court, which makes Li Shimin, who has been depressed for a long time, show a smile that he has not seen for a long time.
Li Chunfeng was one of the important figures who always accompanied Li Shimin when he was the King of Qin. However, in the past few years, he had devoted himself to practicing Taoism, almost to the point of obsession and madness.
Li Shimin had always trusted Li Chunfeng's inferences. When Li Chunfeng caught a glimpse of Wu Meiniang sitting at the side of the hall, behind the curtain, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
After Li Chunfeng knelt down to worship Li Shimin, he did not get up. Instead, he knelt on the ground with his hands clasped in his fists. He looked at Li Shimin above the hall and said, "Your Majesty, I have been observing the stars recently and deduced a terrible prediction, which is not good for our Tang Dynasty. I don't know when." Should I say it or not?"
When Li Shimin heard about the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, he immediately became energetic and opened his mouth to ask: "Do you know that Li Ke, the rebellious son, wants to harm me? He has already proclaimed himself emperor in Licheng?"
Li Chunfeng shook his head helplessly and said: "I have concluded that the Queen named Wu will rule the world."
As soon as Li Chunfeng said this, there was an uproar in the court. Although the ministers in the court were all resentful of Li Shimin's obsession with Wu Meiniang's beauty.
But I never thought that Wu Meiniang would proclaim herself emperor. There has never been a woman in charge of the world in all dynasties.
Li Shimin was furious.
