How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

The female ruler, King Wu, will rule the world?

What does it mean?

This is a rumor that came from somewhere when Li Shimin first ascended the throne.

The rumor here does not mean something that is made out of nothing, but is a rumor from a ballad or nursery rhyme.

It is said that after the third Tang Dynasty, a female warrior king appeared and ruled the world.

As early as the beginning of Zhenguan period, Li Shimin was furious when he heard this rumor and ordered a thorough investigation.

Unfortunately, it didn't work.

After all, in layman's terms, during the reign of the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty, a female general would appear and conquer the prosperous Tang Dynasty with force and unify the world.

This is simply unbelievable.

The Longhua land has been passed down for thousands of years since Emperor Huangdi, and no one has ever heard that a woman can become the emperor.

Not to mention a female general!

It is not uncommon for women to serve as generals. The female generals Fu Hao, Hua Mulan, and Li Jing's wife Hong Fu all commanded troops.

But in the end, you still have to rely on men and do auxiliary work.

A woman shows up in public and becomes the emperor?

Do you think that man would be willing?

Rebels from all over the country will fill the entire city of Chang'an with anger.

So when this rumor appeared, Li Shimin sneered at it and did not believe it at all.

And the rumor did not spread far and eventually disappeared quietly.

But this time, Taibai Jingtian made him think of it again for some reason.

Is it...

After I die, will my son Li Zhi's kingdom eventually be overthrown by Queen Nuwu?

At this moment, Li Shimin asked this question for some unknown reason.

Obviously, Li Chunfeng was almost scared to death.

Li Chunfeng suppressed his shock and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, I am a stupid and ignorant minister. I cannot discern any other prophecies from today's vision. Please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

"Forget it! Perhaps I am too old and too suspicious!"

Li Shimin looked at Li Chunfeng for a long time, and finally raised his hand weakly.

"You go down first. Let me rest for a while and tell the people outside that the dinner will go on as usual..."

"I know!"

Li Chunfeng bowed and said goodbye. He turned around and left the hall before he dared to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

However, when he walked out of the hall and looked at the clear and cloudless sky, he couldn't help but feel confused.

Is it true that destiny cannot be violated?

……

Let’s not talk about that anymore. Li Chunfeng returned to the quiet room to find Yuan Tiangang.

Li Shimin was alone in the hall and felt a severe headache again.

He slowly lay down on the couch and slowly closed his eyes.

What he was thinking about in his heart was the eternal foundation of the Tang Dynasty and what would happen to Crown Prince Li Zhi after his death.

The Tang Dynasty was able to be established and I was able to accomplish things. This was partly due to the fact that heroes are made by the times, but it was also due to the fact that I had so many strong people around me and all the heroes in the world were within my reach.

But what about my son Li Zhi?

After my death, the strongest group of civil and military officials had already fallen apart, leaving only the barely surviving Changsun Wuji, Li Ji, Chu Suiliang and others.

As for military generals, Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, Pei Xingjian and others are quite capable of being used.

But the civil servants...

It's like a strong adult with a lame thigh, unable to walk.

The civil servants are old and young, and there are really no outstanding people.

How can this be good?

For some reason, Li Shimin felt a sense of panic.

Just when he couldn't help but want to get up and get angry again.

Suddenly, a fragrant breeze blew and filled Li Shimin's nostrils.

At the same time, a pair of soft and boneless little hands slowly pinched Li Shimin's temples.

The strength is moderate and the technique is skillful.

"Your Majesty...are you feeling better?"

The sound is melodious and pleasant, making people happy both physically and mentally.

Li Shimin's whole body tensed up, then relaxed, still keeping his eyes closed.

He could tell who it was.

"Meiniang?"

Li Shimin exclaimed softly.

It turned out to be Wu Meiniang, a fifth-rank talent, who came quietly to the bedroom.

Who is Wu Meiniang?

This woman was from Wenshui, Bingzhou, and was the second daughter of Wu Shigui, the governor of Jingzhou.

In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin stayed in Luoyang Palace. Hearing that there was a girl named Wu with beautiful appearance and manners, he summoned her into the palace. He was shocked at the sight of her and gave her the name Wu Mei and made her a fifth-rank talent.

It's a pity that after Empress Zhangsun passed away in the tenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin was heartbroken and only wanted to play with women and no longer had any feelings for them.

After a night of romance with Wu Mei, he completely forgot about her.

Li Er was surrounded by many beautiful women in his life, how could he still remember her?

As a result, from the eleventh year of Zhenguan to the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, a full eleven years, Wu Mei was still a fifth-rank talent.

If it weren't for this woman's beauty, unique fragrance and melodious voice, Li Shimin would probably have forgotten her long ago.

At this moment, he called out softly to confirm whether the person coming was Wu Mei.

Sure enough it was her.

When Wu Mei heard the emperor calling out her name, she felt sweet in her heart and thought that her five hundred taels of silver given to eunuch Gao Quan were not in vain, as she finally got the opportunity to serve the emperor.

She responded softly: "Yes! Your Majesty, it is me..."

"When I heard that you fell from your horse, I was extremely worried. I waited outside the palace all the time. Only after I saw that all the officials had left did I dare to... dare to risk coming in to serve you."

Wu Mei sounded so pitiful, how could Li Shimin not know what was going on?

Without the permission of eunuch Gao Quan, how could the guards at the door allow a fifth-rank talent to come in and serve?

But he turned a blind eye to such things.

The servants around you are also human beings, and they also need to earn some money for their expenses. If you block them all, who will work hard for you?

Fortunately, the person who was let in was Wu Meiniang, and Li Shimin still had some good feelings towards her.

If it was a concubine he disliked, he would have probably been furious.

As Wu Mei massaged him, Li Shimin felt the symptoms of his headache slowly subsiding.

He hummed comfortably.

"Haha, you are thoughtful. Tell me the truth, how much silver did you give that damned slave to let you come in and serve me?"

Wu Mei's heart trembled, and she responded honestly in a low voice.

"Five... five hundred taels..."

"Ouch!"

Li Shimin immediately laughed and said, "You are a talented person, and you only get nine taels of silver a month. It will take you a long time to save up these five hundred taels, right?"

When Wu Mei heard this, her voice even choked up.

"Your Majesty, I have saved four taels every month, forty-eight taels every year, for eleven years, and I only hope to serve Your Majesty once..."

Li Shimin was suddenly speechless.

This woman is a ruthless person.

You saved up more than five hundred taels of silver in eleven years, just to give me a big sword?

"Go to the eunuch Zhang Wei and ask him to give you 1,000 taels of silver. Say it's a reward from me..."

Li Shimin closed his eyes and whispered the order, which earned Wu Meiniang an exclamation.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty..."

Afterwards, Li Shimin heard sparse voices in his ears and couldn't help frowning again.

"Mei Niang! I... I'm tired, just give me a massage, and we can talk about other things tonight..."

When Wu Mei saw that the emperor didn't want to do that, she felt aggrieved and sad, but she didn't dare to say anything. She could only nod softly, put on her clothes, and pinched Li Shimin's forehead again.

It was obvious that his technique was specially practiced, and the pinch made Li Shimin feel more and more comfortable.

At the same time, rejecting the other party also made Li Er feel a little embarrassed.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mei Niang, let me tell you something interesting."

Wu Mei was overjoyed to see that the emperor actually took the initiative to talk to her, and she asked softly, "Your Majesty, please speak."

"Haha, it's nothing! Before I fell off my horse today, I made a bet with Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang that there were two handsome horses on the other side of the river..."

Li Shimin made small talk and told Wu Meiniang what had happened during the day.

Wu Meiniang laughed sweetly after hearing this: "This Grand Historian Li Chunfeng is really amazing. He can even be more accurate than Master Yuan Tiangang?"

"Haha, him? When it comes to calendar revision and astronomical calculations, Li Chunfeng is the best in the world. But when it comes to divination and geomancy, he is still one step behind Yuan Tiangang."

Li Shimin commented with his eyes closed.

"Yuan Tiangang is dishonest. He might be deliberately trying to make me look down on him! He has bad intentions!"

For some reason, Wu Mei's hands trembled after hearing what Li Shimin said, and she pinched with a little more force.

Li Shimin immediately sensed the difference, frowned and asked, "What's wrong, Mei Niang?"

Seeing that her thoughts were almost seen through by Li Shimin, Wu Mei's heart began to beat wildly.

She immediately changed the subject.

"His Majesty……"

"Nothing, I just thought that if I were there, I would have a way to make the horse run to your side first!"

Ok?

Li Shimin actually opened his eyes.

"Mei Niang, tell me what you can do?"
