Quickly wear "I am the empress"

In the first year of Shenlong, the empress Wu Zetian abdicated and the concubine Li Lingyue ascended the throne.

After Zhiyu ascended the throne, he changed his title to Yongchang and made Li Xianhui the crown prince.

Seeing that the kings of the three generations of the Tang Dynasty were all women, many veterans of the Li Zhi period felt sad and felt that their future was hopeless. In despair, they chose to resign and return home.

Each of these resignation papers submitted is as good as the previous one.

Nowadays, the country is short of practical talents. When these veterans leave, positions will be vacant and young people will have opportunities.

So the more people resign, the happier Zhiyu will be.

After Wu Zetian fell ill again, Zhiyu sent someone to bring Li Xian and Li Dan to Luoyang

In front of the bed, looking at her children with tearful eyes, Wu Zetian smiled weakly.

"Yue'er, you take the others out, I want to talk to your two royal brothers."

After hearing this, Yu nodded and led the rest of the people out of her dormitory.

"Mother Queen, do you have anything to explain?"

Li Xian stepped forward to support Wu Zetian, his face full of sadness.

Seeing the gray-haired Li Xian, Wu Zetian asked feebly: "How do you hate me all these years?"

Li Xian shook his head: "Mother, you are my son's mother, how can I hate you."

Hearing what Li Xian said, Wu Zetian's eyes fell on Li Dan again: "What about you, do you ever hate me?"

Li Dan burst into tears, shook his head and said, "Mother, no, never."

After hearing the two people's answers, Wu Zetian let out a long sigh, "Don't blame the Queen Mother for being cruel to you."

"If you want to blame, blame you for being born into an emperor's family."

"The emperor's house is the most ruthless..."

"Now I don't have much time left. No matter you hate me or not, I have to leave."

"From now on, under Yue'er, you can take care of yourself."

"Mother Queen..."

Li Xian and Li Dan felt a little uncomfortable after hearing Wu Zetian's words.

It would be false to say that they did not blame Wu Zetian, but blood is thicker than water. Now that they are leaving, the resentment in their hearts has long disappeared.

"Yue'er has a capacity for tolerance. As long as you don't rebel in this life, she can keep you safe for the rest of your life."

"Don't be unwilling to give in. You think this throne should be yours.

"Based on what I know about you, the two of you combined can't beat her..."

After hearing Wu Zetian's words, Li Xian and Li Dan fell silent.

They naturally understood that Yue'er was much better than them in terms of literary, military, and strategic skills.

But they were born from the same mother, and the gap between Yue'er and them was so big, they couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Mother Queen, why don’t you make them smarter?

"Okay, I have already done what needs to be explained."

"If you want to live a good life, you two should be your idle princes."

"Don't make friends with ministers you shouldn't make friends with, and don't do things you shouldn't do."

"Do you understand?"

The two of them knelt on the bedside, bowed their hands and said, "Thank you, Mother, for your teachings."

"Call Yue'er in, I want to explain something to her."

Hearing this, Li Dan responded, quickly got up and ran to the door to call Zhiyu.

"Mother Queen."

When Zhiyu came in, Wu Zetian didn't have much strength left.

She lay on the bed, breathing heavily.

Hearing Zhiyu's voice, she slowly opened her eyes and said, "From now on, the Tang Dynasty will be left to you."

"Govern the Tang Dynasty well, otherwise I won't be able to explain to your father if I go down below."

Zhiyu handed over his hand and said, "Yes, I will govern the Tang Dynasty well. Let the mother straighten her back in front of the father."

Wu Zetian waved her hand with difficulty, "After my death."

"Send me to be buried with your father."

"Don't write anything on my monument."

"The merits and demerits of right and wrong will be judged by future generations.

"I believe that history will give me a fair evaluation."

After saying that, her eyes became a little blurry, as if she was recalling the honors and disgrace of her life.

Seeing Wu Zetian like this, Zhiyu knew in her heart that the person in front of her had reached the end of her life.

—

According to Wu Zetian's last words, Zhiyu sent her body to be buried with Li Zhi.

The wordless monument was also erected according to Wu Zetian's wishes.

However, on the tablet in the ancestral hall, Zhiyu had someone write the words Emperor Zetian of the Tang Dynasty on it.

After the funeral, Li Dan was the first to find Zhiyu and said that he planned to stay in Luoyang for retirement, and hoped that Zhiyu would agree.

Zhiyu understood why Li Dan did this.

Now Li Xianhui is the crown prince, and Li Dan is Li Xianhui's biological father. If he goes to the fiefdom, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, as soon as Li Dan made the request, Zhiyu agreed.

Li Xian's choice is exactly the opposite of Li Dan's

At this time, Li Xian just wanted to return to the fiefdom as soon as possible and live his small life.

He didn't want to stay in Luoyang City for a moment longer.

Because if he stayed any longer, he was afraid that his whole family would end up in prison.

After Princess Wei of Luling returned to Luoyang, she could not help but feel envious every time she saw Li Xianhui, who was made the princess.

In private, she secretly complained to Li Xian many times.

In Wei's view, her daughter Li Guo'er is no worse than Li Xianhui. If His Majesty wants to establish a heir apparent, he should also appoint her daughter.

Isn't it just an adoption? If she can make her Bao'er a princess, she is also willing to adopt Bao'er to His Majesty......

Webster's words were so treasonous, and Li Xian was naturally afraid.

So just after Wu Zetian's funeral, he came to the palace and asked Xiang Zhiyu to go to the fiefdom.

He was afraid that if his family didn't leave early, they wouldn't be able to leave in the future.

Zhiyu is still very relieved about Li Xian.

So after several attempts to persuade him to stay, Zhiyu agreed to let him return to his fiefdom.

Not long after Li Xian left Luoyang, Li Longji and Li Guoer, who had rushed back from thousands of miles away to attend the funeral, once again embarked on the road to conquer the northwest.

They admitted that their aunt had a good vision and that Li Xianhui was indeed the best choice for the crown prince.

But they also wanted to prove to their aunt that the two of them were no worse than Li Xianhui.
