Empress Reborn

Li Xian was used to his mother's swift and resolute actions. Although he was cowardly, he had already developed a rebellious heart.Li Xian was exiled to Bazhou at the end of last year, he couldn't plead for mercy, and there was a gap in his heart. He guessed that his mother was not a woman who was willing to live in the harem to enjoy blessings. He ascended the throne and was still under the control of his mother.When he was the prince, he was worried all the time, but he was still like this when he was the emperor. Li Xian couldn't bear it. He planned to support his own power to suppress his mother.

Empress Wei Shi advised him, saying: "Why don't you promote my concubine's mother's family? My concubine's parents, brothers and relatives are not familiar with anyone in the Li clan, and they don't rely on the Queen Mother's relationship. If the house is to be reused, she must treat it sincerely."

Li Xian felt that what the queen said was reasonable, and began to use Wei's relatives. He promoted all the relatives of Empress Wei.His approach is obvious, just to make his power stronger and to compete with his mother step by step.

It is a good thing for a young man to have ambition, but it is a pity that he is too rash and less thoughtful.Wei Xuanzhen came from a humble background and had no meritorious service, so being promoted to this position is not worthy of the name, naturally some people objected.But he didn't expect that someone would oppose him in court. When Pei Yan was ordered by Zhongshu to say no, he became angry and reprimanded: "I am the emperor, and the world belongs to me. Even if I give the world to Wei Xuanzhen, there will be no one." Why not? Let alone a servant!"

Pei Yan was silent, Li Xian thought he was exalting the king's prestige, and sniffed the sachet in his hand, his face revealed a sense of relief.He didn't expect that Pei Yan would tell the Empress Dowager Wu about this after the dynasty was over.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Wu began to think about what her son wanted to do. She knew very well that she had long wanted to deal with her disobedient son, but she never thought that her son would obediently give her a chance at this time.Her complexion sank, the Empress Dowager looked at Pei Yan angrily and asked: "The family has gone on such a rampage, it is really a failure of the late emperor's entrustment, what is Mr. Pei's intention?"

Pei Yan knew that he was a courtier, so he didn't propose, he just said, "But it's up to the Queen Mother to decide."

Empress Dowager Wu nodded, "So, please ask Mr. Pei to do something for me."

"Please order, Queen Mother." Pei Yan cupped his hands, thinking that Li Xian's throne might be lost.Sure enough, the next moment, he heard the Empress Dowager say in a deep voice: "Please, Xianggong Pei, Liu Shilang, General Cheng, and General Zhang, enter the palace together and announce the decree of deposing the emperor for me."

Pei Yan was startled, thought for a while, thinking that the emperor is fatuous and incompetent, it is really better to replace it with the gentle and elegant Li Dan, so he replied: "I would like to obey the Queen Mother's order."

In the early morning of the next day, Pei Yan led the army into the court hall together with Liu Yizhi, the servant of Zhongshu, Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxu, generals of Yulin.These people were aggressive, it must be that the comers were not friendly, Li Xian frowned, his body trembled slightly, and even the crown on his head shook slightly, he forced an emperor's majesty, and reprimanded with the others: " You... what are you guys going to do? This is my court!"

Pei Yan didn't sarcasm, just looked straight into Li Xian's eyes, and said seriously: "I will follow the Queen Mother's order to announce the edict." He glanced at Liu Yi behind him, Liu Yi lowered his eyes, unfolded the empress dowager's edict in his hand, and spoke loudly. Nian said: "The emperor has lost his character and cannot bear the great responsibility. For the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xian was abolished as emperor, relegated to the king of Luling, and Li Dan, the prime minister, was made emperor!"

I have just been on the throne for less than two months, and my mother is about to pull me down, how is this possible?Li Xian was dumbfounded, the crown on his forehead fluttering, he stood up with the table, stared at Pei Yan and the others, slapped the table fiercely one after another, and shouted: "Nonsense! You traitors! Come, arrest them!" stand up!"

No one responded to the orders from above, but Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxu looked at each other, and then a soldier took the order, stepped up the steps and clamped Li Xian, intending to help him down the hall.

Li Xian couldn't bear to have the throne he finally sat on being taken away by others, he hugged the armrest tightly, struggling and refused to leave.

How could the king of a country be so disrespectful in front of his ministers?The Empress Dowager who had just entered the palace frowned when she saw it, and her voice became cold, "How can you be so nonsense in the court and not come down?"

The cold voice made Li Xian tremble. He turned his head and looked at his mother who was as majestic as a Buddha, and burst into tears, "Mother! Mother is so cruel. What is my son's crime? He wants to be destroyed." My throne?"

The son cried pitifully, Empress Dowager Wu showed no pity on her face, she just said in a deep voice: "You said in front of all the officials in the court that you would give the world to Wei Xuanzhen, the king of a country made such a joke, so you are innocent?"

Her icy eyes pierced into Li Xian's heart like a knife. Li Xian's body went limp and he collapsed on the seat. The sachet in his hand rolled to the ground. He looked at his mother in surprise, speechless.It was a joke that ruined his own country.His mother's gaze is so cold, could it be that he has already moved to depose him?He was thinking in a daze, but he didn't see his mother signal the people around him to do it, so he was helped out of the hall like a chicken in a daze.

In the afternoon, Li Lingyue came to visit Shangguan Wan'er in the palace.Shangguan Wan'er told her about it like gossiping.

After hearing this, Li Lingyue hugged Wan'er's slender waist, placed her on her lap, and leaned over to kiss her like a reward.It was not surprising that Li Xian would depose her shortly after he came to the throne, and she was not very happy. What made her happy was that Wan'er didn't care about Li Xian who had already ascended the throne. She only focused on her safety and thought of her. For this reason, she even resisted her mother's order to get close to Li Xian to inquire about news.

The hands around her waist tightened a bit, and Li Lingyue leaned on Wan'er's hair, rubbing it lightly, "Wan'er, brother Seven was dethroned by Auntie. Even the emperor can be abolished, and Auntie's desire for power is getting stronger and stronger. In the future, you must not fight against her. If she makes things difficult for you, you can deal with it first, and I will help you solve it. I asked someone to raise a carrier pigeon a few days ago, and I will bring it to you tomorrow. Let it be delivered to me."

"Okay." Nestled in Li Lingyue's arms, Shangguan Wan'er's lips were stained with a smile.

Li Lingyue looked at the red door, and looked at the magnificent palace through the window, and thought: Seventh brother was demoted, and eighth brother was enthroned, the time has finally come for her to make great achievements.

I'm sorry Brother Seven, I won't let you come back in this life.Li Lingyue put her arms around the beauty, and smiled slightly.
