Quickly wear "I am the empress"

Under Li Zhi's gaze, Zhiyu straightened her body and stretched out her hand with a calm look: "Today, I, Li Lingyue, swear here that from now on, I will be loyal to the Tang Dynasty and will never do anything that will harm the country and the country." thing."

"If you violate this oath, you will suffer disaster."

After saying these words, Zhiyu raised his head and looked at Li Zhi.

"Father, are you relieved now?"

Looking at Zhiyu who looked indifferent, Li Zhi forced a forced smile, and he naturally discovered the loophole in Zhiyu's words.

She said she would be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but she did not say she would be loyal to her imperial brother.

It's a pity that he no longer has the strength to pursue these matters. No matter whether he is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, as long as the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, he will die in peace...

Li Zhi gasped and said solemnly: "Yue'er, I hope you can remember the oath you made today. If one day you break this oath..."

Having said this, he stopped what he was going to say and his eyes fell on Zhiyu. The meaning was self-evident.

Zhiyu nodded slowly, "Father, don't worry. As the princess of the Tang Dynasty, I will naturally work hard to make the Tang Dynasty prosperous."

Li Zhi was noncommittal, and waved his hands in an air of disbelief: "Go down with the military talisman and call your mother."

"Yes."

After Empress Wu went to Li Zhi's bedroom, she came out like a zombie for an hour.

As soon as she came out, a group of ministers immediately surrounded her, "Tian Hou, how is your Majesty?"

Looking at the anxious ministers, Empress Wu shook her head, closed her eyes without sadness or joy and said, "Go and see His Majesty."

After hearing what Empress Wu said, everyone rushed to Li Zhi's bedroom regardless of etiquette.

Not long after, a louder cry suddenly came from the dormitory.

At the same time, the eunuch's sad voice also came out.

"His Majesty passed away......"

Upon hearing the eunuch's words, Empress Wu felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She swayed suddenly and almost fell to the ground.

Before she could fall down, a strong arm held her firmly, "My condolences, Queen Mother."

Empress Wu turned a deaf ear to Zhiyu's concerned words and just said blankly: "Your Majesty has passed away..."

Seeing that Empress Wu couldn't calm down for a while, Zhiyu shook her head and called the palace maid to support her.

Hearing Li Xian's "earth-shaking" cries in the dormitory, Zhiyu strode in, picked up Li Xian who was crying sadly and walked out.

"Brother, you are the crown prince. Now that your father has passed away, what you should do is to stand up and take charge of the overall situation, instead of crying with the ministers."

"I know that your father is gone and you are sad, but in addition to being my father's son, you are also the country's crown prince."

"What you should do at this time is to issue a decree to inform the world and let the world know the fact that my father has left."

"If you are really sad, I will have plenty of time to express my filial piety to you during the wake."

.What you should do now is to cheer up and let the people in the world see your ability and skills as a prince, so that they can feel at ease..."

Hearing Zhiyu's words, Li Xian felt enlightened and immediately raised his hands to Zhiyu and said, "Thank you, Imperial Sister, for reminding me."

When Li Zhi died, he left an edict: Prince Li Xian succeeded to the throne, and military power was handed over to Princess Taiping. If there were military and state affairs that could not be adjudicated, the Queen of Heaven would decide.

In the first month of 684 AD, Li Xian ascended the throne with the title of Sisheng. He respected his mother Wu as the queen mother, his wife Wei as the queen, and his son Chongzhao as the prince.

After Li Xian succeeded to the throne, in order to weaken the influence of the Queen Mother Wu on the court, he quickly established his own power to compete with the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother naturally would not let her own power be disintegrated. After realizing Li Xian's intentions, she immediately suppressed Li Xian's power vigorously.

Being in the whirlpool of power, Zhiyu, who has military power in his hands, naturally cannot stay alone.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor would invite her to tea from time to time. Even Queen Weishi, who had always had a high level of attention, was extremely polite to her at this time.

Zhiyu didn't want to join the fight between the two forces, so before the first month of the year, she requested to be stationed at the border on the grounds that there were changes in the Turks.

Zhiyu's departure was unexpected by both parties. In the afternoon of the same day, Li Xian, who had become the emperor, appeared in her princess mansion.

Appearing with Li Xian was his queen Wei Shi.

"Greetings to the Emperor's brother and the Emperor's sister-in-law."

Zhiyu bowed slightly to the two of them.

Without waiting for Li Xian to speak, Queen Wei Shi immediately stepped forward to help Zhiyu up, "We are all one family, so why should my sister be so polite?"

Zhiyu smiled faintly and said to the two of them, "The etiquette cannot be abolished."

Hearing what Zhiyu said, Queen Wei smiled gently: "Princess, your royal brother and I are here today because we have a happy event for you. Let's go in and talk."

Wen Yanzhiyu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Li Xian, who looked a little uncomfortable, "What happy event?"

Empress Wei smiled mysteriously and took Zhiyu to the living room.

"Imperial sister, you are not young now, but have you ever thought about recruiting a consort?"

After sitting down in the living room, Empress Wei looked at Zhiyu with a smile, her probing intentions undisguised.

After hearing what Empress Wei said, Zhiyu didn't know what the couple was planning.

This is a beauty trick by running in front of her...

Zhiyu glanced at the two of them seriously and said calmly: "The emperor has just left now. As children, we should observe filial piety. How can we think about the long-lasting love between children."

"Besides, my father told me before he left that I would not be able to find a consort for ten years."

Hearing what Zhiyu said, Empress Wei and Li Xian looked at each other in surprise, "How could my father..."

Zhiyu shrugged, "Father said that I have military power in my hands. If I recruit a consort now, it may destabilize the country."

Hearing this, Li Xian nodded clearly, looked at Zhiyu with a distressed expression and said, "Yue'er, I've suffered so much for you."

Zhiyu waved her hand, "My sister is the princess of the Tang Dynasty. She should do her best for the Tang Dynasty. It's just that she doesn't recruit a consort within ten years. It's not a big deal."

Zhiyu moved out of Li Zhi, and no matter how unwilling they were, they could only return without success.

Not long after Li Xian and Wei Cai returned, people around the Queen Mother also came to the princess mansion.

Hearing that the Queen Mother was going to summon her, Zhiyu was not surprised at all. She changed her clothes and followed the palace maid to the palace.

A country is interesting only if it is conquered by oneself, and only a country that is conquered by oneself can rule the country firmly.

So Zhiyu is not ready to intervene in the struggle between Wu Zetian and the emperor.

Now that Li Zhi has passed away, it is the time for Wu Zetian to show off her ambitions, and it is also the opportunity for the world to see her iron-blooded methods. If she takes action rashly, how will the first-generation empress establish her power... .
