Wan'er stopped there and didn't say any more, she turned her back to me, slowly took off her coat, looked back and said, "Your Highness, stay here tonight."

There are mixed feelings in my heart, and my Wan'er has grown up.

"What does Your Highness think of Tianhou?" In the dead of night, Wan'er suddenly asked me while I was hugging her.

"If she was more kind, she would be a good mother." I remembered the scene of sending off my second brother Li Xian a month ago. Empress Wu ordered the deposed prince under house arrest to be exiled to Bazhou. I could no longer see the waves of the past in his eyes, and he left in such a desolate way.

"In the eyes of His Highness, can the Queen of Heaven only be a mother?"

"Whether she is willing or not, she is our mother." What I see from Li Xian seems to be the fate of each of our princes, no, I am not even a prince, I have no possibility of supreme power, But I have to worry about it with my two brothers.

Wan'er hugged me with one hand, and gently stroked my head with the other. "Your Highness's resentment towards Tianhou has started to increase, but Wan'er can't hate her more and more."

"Wan'er, if one day you had to choose, whether to stay with the queen mother or go with me, what would you choose?" I suddenly began to fear in my heart. In the past, I was so confident in the answer to this question.

After a long silence, Wan'er stared into my eyes, and after a long time quietly said: "Wan'er will stay by Tianhou's side."

I will not continue this topic, this is the tacit understanding between us.

The next morning, it was still daylight, and Wan'er and I were getting out of bed and getting ready for morning.Suddenly they heard commotion outside, and the court ladies and eunuchs hurried away with lanterns.There was an urgent knock on the door, "Sister Shangguan, sister Shangguan."

Wan'er frowned, showing a disturbed expression, "What's the matter?"

"Is King Zhao at my sister's place?" Since I changed my name, I have been named King Zhao.

"I'm here, what's the matter? Come in and answer." The little official woman opened the door and came in, knelt on the ground, panting, "The emperor is critically ill..."

I didn't have time to wait for her to finish, I tore off my clothes and ran out of the hall.When I rushed to the Hall of Zhenguan, Prince Xian and Yu Wangdan were kneeling down. Seeing me coming, Empress Wu waved her hand to signal me to come forward. I knelt before Li Dan to strike. Empress Wu leaned over and said in the emperor's ear, "Zhao Wanghao is here." ."

Gao Zong reluctantly opened his eyes, took a look at me, and then closed them again. We just watched quietly, the candlelight flickering in the hall.

"When will Taiping arrive?" Gaozong's weak voice suddenly said.

"Taiping is still in Chang'an..." Empress Wu said helplessly, unable to bear to disappoint Gaozong, and then added, "Taiping just gave birth to a daughter, and I heard that the child looks exactly like her when she was a child. Come to Luoyang to meet us."

A smile appeared on Gaozong's face: "If God can extend my life for another month or two and let me go back to Chang'an, I will die without regret." Gaozong's voice gradually faded... I raised my head , facing Empress Wu who was full of tears, Gaozong went like this,

I didn't explain what happened after the death. I don't think it was because the arrangements were well arranged, but because it was full of worries and endless words.

"The world is the most important, the clan is the most important, and the deed and inheritance should not be left temporarily. The crown prince can be the emperor in front of the coffin, and his obedience and discipline should be in accordance with the Han system...There are major military and state affairs that are not decided, and the Queen of Heaven will also advance. end."

When the edict was read out, Empress Wu had already put on plain onyx and no makeup, the tears in her eyes had long since disappeared, and her majestic face was still intimidating. Zhao Wanghao...

Chapter 43 Chapter 42

Prince Li Xian succeeded to the throne. Since he became my elder brother, this is the first time I have seen this simple and clumsy man in high spirits. Although he is also sad for Gaozong's death, I can see the uncontrollable excitement on his face and joy.The elder brothers who are favored by the heavens and placed high hopes by everyone are not blessed to inherit the throne, only he is the final winner.

"In the future, you and I will work together as brothers to govern the world. Brother Yu wants my younger brothers to give us more advice." After Gaozong's burial, Li Xian asked me to have a drink with Li Dan.Unlike in the past, Li Xian seemed to be a bit of an emperor, and he raised his glass to Li Dan and me as soon as we entered the table.

After all, today is different from the past, and Li Dan and I hurriedly got up and responded, "In the future, we will definitely do our best for His Majesty, and we will always look forward to it."

"Hey!" Li Xian sighed. "Now I only have you. The ministers in the court only know to obey the Queen Mother. No one will take me as the emperor seriously."

When Li Xian was the crown prince, Empress Wu had already held great power and had countless cronies in the court. Although Li Xian became the emperor now, he still couldn't get rid of the influence of Empress Wu in the court.

"Third brother." I am used to this address. "Bear it, we are still young, we survived our mother's empress, and the world will still be named Li after all." I knew the end of Empress Wu's proclaiming emperor, and I knew that there was nothing we could do.

"I want to be a good emperor. I can't succeed in my grandfather's imperial ambitions, and I can't be ashamed of my ancestors. I know that the ministers in the court look down on me, I can't compare with Hong in essays, and I can't compare with virtuous in martial arts. Emperor, must I not be as good as them?" After a few glasses of wine, Li Xian was already drunk, and after a few words, he even shed a few tears.

"I want to reuse you, and you must join me to take back this court. This world is our Li family's world, and no one else can get involved." Li Xian was also very arrogant through his drunkenness, and I was momentarily caught. He was infected, whether I can change history, this idea came up again, stronger than ever.

After drinking for three rounds, I also became drunk. A gust of wind blew open the curtains in the hall, and I vaguely saw a woman sitting behind the curtains. I was half awakened from the wine, and when I thought about it carefully, that face was very familiar, and I remembered it when I left. , isn't that Queen Webster?

It was already late at night when I left, I had no intention of going back home, so I simply staggered to Wan'er's place, and saw Wan'er's place was brightly lit through the door, presumably she hadn't rested yet.

"Wan'er." I called through the door.

The door opened quickly, Wan'er saw that it was me who frowned, and said disgustedly: "Your Highness smells like alcohol all over your body, your Highness is getting worse and worse now." I pushed away Wan'er's hand that supported me, and staggered away Go in, slowly push away the paperwork on the table, and climb on the table.

I just fell asleep like this, and I don't know how long it took, Wan'er pushed me awake, forcibly ripped off my clothes, and gave me a bath.I leaned comfortably in the bathtub and let Wan'er wipe it for me.

"Wan'er, why do you think that in the royal edict of the father, there is a clause that the queen mother should adjudicate military and state affairs?" I was half drunk and half awake, and couldn't understand it.

"Your Highness wants to hear the truth?" Wan'er asked back.

"Naturally." I replied.

"Forgive Wan'er for being rude. No one knows a son like a father. He knows best what His Highnesses do. After all, the Queen Mother is the daughter-in-law of the Li family. It is better to hand over the world to the Queen Mother than to leave the power to outsiders. The Queen Mother will grow old, and Your Majesty will grow into a qualified person." The emperor." Wan'er is becoming more and more like a proud princess, and the inferiority complex of the past is slowly washed away by Empress Wu.The calmness and confidence in her speech became more and more like the Queen Mother.

I realized that I have been looking at the Queen Mother from the perspective of a person who knows the end of history. At this moment, no one in the world would expect that the Queen Mother will be the future Queen. At this time, she herself may not have such an idea. Then, if Let's take a gamble, whether the winner will win or not is still uncertain.I am satisfied with getting the answer I want.

"What are you thinking, Your Highness?" Wan'er seemed to see through my thoughts, before I could answer, she continued: "Everyone thinks that the first emperor was weak and lustful, but what Wan'er has seen around the queen mother all these years is not the case. The late emperor's strategy, Sometimes it's even worse than the queen mother. Some things are not caused by the late emperor being bewitched by the queen mother, but by the queen mother to eliminate dissidents. The relationship between the queen mother and the late emperor is far from what your highness thinks, and their tacit understanding is not something your highness can understand. This is only true for Wan'er His Highness said alone, His Highness, please believe in the late emperor."
