[Wu Zetian colleagues] Wu Lingchun

"Cough! Your Highness is drunk." Wan'er said uncomfortably.

As soon as the Taiping words came out, he should have realized that he had just said something that should not have been said, so he closed his lips and kept silent.

Her eyes were lowered, she didn't know what she was thinking.

This reaction at least proves that she is still somewhat sober and not completely drunk.

Wan'er thought to herself.

Probably seeing the weird situation in front of him, Zhao Yongfu was the first to react.

"The slaves are waiting outside." Zhao Yongfu said, quietly tugging on Xiaorong's sleeve, trying to withdraw.

Xiao Rong was worried, and didn't notice Zhao Yongfu's sneaky winks at all.

She stared at Taiping's every move with round eyes and bulging cheeks, for fear that Taiping would do anything to hurt Wan'er after he was drunk.

Wan'er also noticed Xiao Rong's appearance of protecting her master.

Wan'er was quite moved.

She knew very well that Taiping dared not and could not do anything to her.

Wan'er is not so naive as to absolutely believe in Taiping's character, no matter the Empress Dowager Wu or Princess Taiping, as well as all the other clan officials, concubines and wives, they are first of all political animals, they put their own and their family's interests first of. The word "feeling" is far less important to people in this era than fame and interests.

For Wan'er, the reason why Empress Dowager Wu is different from others is because Empress Wu is the person Wan'er likes.Therefore, when facing Empress Dowager Wu, the first thing Wan'er thinks of is always feelings.

But when Wan'er faced Taiping, it was a different situation.

The basis for Wan'er's accurate judgment of Taiping is Taiping's words and deeds before——

Taiping's attitude of wanting to cling to her mother, wanting to please her mother by pleasing herself, is too obvious.

Wan'er doesn't know why Taiping is like this, and she doesn't know exactly what Taiping wants, but right now, as long as she knows Taiping's attitude, that's enough.

"You guys go down first." Wan'er said to Xiao Rong and Zhao Yongfu.

Since she said so, Xiao Rong had no choice but to withdraw.

At this moment, Taiping found some clarity, and told the accompanying attendants: "I still have something to tell Shangguan, you all go down."

Her confidantes and attendants knew her well, seeing that she had been drinking just now, one or two of them were heartbroken, and they had to leave here quickly, even if something happened, they couldn't be blamed on them.

Zhao Yongfu was the one with the most winking eyes, he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "There are hot refreshments in the corridor, please come with the villain."

The idlers retreated, and only Wan'er and Taiping sat facing each other in the room.

"What do you think, Your Highness?" Wan'er still felt lingering fear when she thought of the big bowl of wine that Taiping drank.

Taiping shook his head, and said seriously: "I was just...drunk."

She is not willing to look at Wan'er.

Wan'er was slightly stunned, then recalled, nodded and said: "Your Highness is just drunk, after drinking sober soup, she is already cured now."

Only then did Taiping breathe a sigh of relief.

She didn't know what to say, and when she drank alcohol, she wandered out and said "there is a beautiful person, clear and graceful", if these words reach the mother's ears, what will be the result?

Fortunately, Wan'er was so generous that she pretended she hadn't heard that word before...it would be the best.

Presumably, those who open their mouths here, Shangguan will also make them shut up, and will not spread nonsense.

Taiping rejoiced in his heart, and added two more points of gratitude to Wan'er.

Smart and magnanimous, it is a good thing for most people to have such a person by their mother's side, right?

Taiping thought to himself.

It's too calm, calm your mind, and let the drunkenness gradually calm down.

After pondering for a while, she said, "Mother is in a good mood for the banquet tonight."

Wan'er frowned slightly, thinking to herself, where do you start with such nonsensical words?

She was silent then, and said nothing.

Taiping didn't expect Wan'er to respond, so he continued: "A month ago, the father passed away..."

Her voice paused, and there was a look of sadness in her eyes.

Wan'er's lips moved slightly, thinking whether to speak to comfort her.

The sorrows on the Taiping plane quickly cleared up, and the conversation turned back.

Wan'er saw that since she could see it openly, she didn't need to do anything more, and still listened quietly.

"...Before the death of the father, the emperor left a will, making the funeral ceremonies simple, with Pei Yan as the Minister of Guming, and the prince 'should follow the system of the Han Dynasty, and change the moon with the sun', and succeeded to the throne in front of the coffin. The new emperor succeeded Afterwards, 'Where there are undecided military and state affairs, they should also take the Queen of Heaven'." Taiping said, staring at Wan'er's face.

Wan'er frowned slightly at the right time.

Although she didn't know the deep meaning of Taiping telling her these things, but this will is obviously "not in line with the rules".As Wan'er who heard it "for the first time", her normal reaction was to be surprised and thoughtful.

In fact, Wan'er had read this very famous "Edict of the Great Emperor" in a history book when she was in high school.

As a student of the Department of History, especially later as a master's student whose research direction is the history of the early Tang Dynasty, Wan'er was able to memorize the content of this edict long ago.

Unexpectedly, in the history of parallel time and space that she personally experienced, Tang Gaozong's edict was also written in this way.

This is quite in line with the personality of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty who didn't have much contact with Wan'er.

The meaning of this will is nothing more than three layers——

First, the funeral ceremony respects the Han system, and changes the filial son to the deceased father's 27 months of filial piety to 27 days.In this way, it is reasonable for the prince to succeed to the throne in time and the court mechanism to operate normally.

Second, with Pei Yan as the chief minister, all the ministers must wholeheartedly assist the new emperor in order to live up to the old emperor's trust in them.

Third, if the new emperor has difficulty making a decision on major military and state affairs, he must consult the Empress Dowager Wu, and focus on the decision-making of the Empress Dowager Wu.

To some extent, Wan'er still has some admiration for the emperor who just passed away.

After all, as the supreme ruler of the most powerful empire in the world, when he was dying, he could soberly instruct his successors to simplify the funeral ceremony and put the country first. Not every emperor has such a mind and tolerance. can do it.

In the time and space when Wan'er came, historians of all dynasties praised Tang Gaozong more than derogatory; apart from blaming Tang Gaozong for being confused about the harem and children, they also criticized the country's politics, economy, Military and other aspects, all give a very high evaluation.

Wan'er also agrees in this way.

However, in this recognition, Wan'er always has some small sense of injustice——

It is Wu Zetian's grievances that played a major role in stabilizing the court and deciding court affairs in the Gaozong Dynasty, especially in the later period of the Gaozong Dynasty.

Most people in the world only saw that Wu Zetian became the first orthodox female emperor, but very few people saw her achievements as the empress of Tang Gaozong.

Even those feudal defenders in history slandered her identity as a woman and created chaos in her "harem".

Men in a mess in the harem. There are too many emperors, and even any emperor, doesn’t there be dozens or even hundreds of women in the harem for his own enjoyment?How did it become so messy when it came to Wu Zetian, the empress?

Did she say that she was seeking to usurp the throne as the Queen Mother?

There are too many male emperors who seek to usurp the throne in history!

Some people took the throne from their son-in-law, some took the throne from their brother, and some killed their own father just to sit on that dragon chair!

These injustices accumulated in Wan'er's heart as an ordinary historical researcher in her previous life, in this time and space, when she became a history experiencer, when she heard the late emperor's edict from others, it fermented again. Became another strange thing—

This kind of strange thing, Wan'er thought about it slowly later, and realized that it was called "jealousy".

That's right, jealousy.

She was jealous of the late emperor's affection for the Empress Dowager Wu.

In fact, from an objective point of view, from a purely historical research point of view, it is not difficult to analyze: the reason why the first emperor left the sentence "If there are undecided military and state affairs, take the queen to advance and stop", more It is to value the political experience of the Empress Dowager Wu and her ability to make decisions on military affairs.

It is well known that Prince Li Xian is a useless idiot.

Can such a useless emperor who has been played around by his father-in-law's family be expected to make some effective decisions?

Moreover, the Empress Dowager Wu is the crown prince, that is, the new emperor's own mother. The mother made decisions for her son, helped her on the horse and sent her off again. In the eyes of the first emperor, this was no big deal.

Even Wan'er, a time traveler, doesn't know if the "first female emperor" will appear in this parallel time and space. The first emperor is an "indigenous" in this time and space, so where does the "God's Eye" come from?

Just like the people in history that Wan'er is familiar with, who would have imagined that the little girl who named herself "Zhao" became Emperor Zetian?

"Shangguan? Shangguan!" Taiping's voice gradually turned from illusion to reality.

Wan'er came back to her senses in shock, suddenly realizing that her thoughts had wandered too far.

"What's wrong?" Taiping looked over with inquiring eyes.

Wan'er smiled apologetically: "It's just that the content of this edict...is a bit unexpected."

Taiping heard the words, and his expression was slightly relaxed: "Yes... When I first heard it, why didn't I feel surprised?"

Wan'er still chooses to remain silent.

Taiping knew her cautious nature, so he said to himself: "After the emperor's funeral that day, the crown prince took the throne in front of the coffin...and during this month, my mother...she is also very busy."

Wan'er raised her eyebrows: What's the point?

"My mother... said to His Majesty that although the father has a will, but as an heir and the son of heaven, he must be an example of filial piety to the people of the world. In this way, the father must be happy under the nine springs Yes," Taiping said, "...for the past month, mother has decided on the important affairs of the court, your majesty...so devoted herself to copying the scriptures and praying for the emperor."

Wan'er listened, secretly laughing in her heart——

A good example of filial piety for the subjects of the world, that person clearly wants to use this excuse to delay the handover of power in order to seek great things.

Thinking of the cunning of the man plotting against the new emperor, Wan'er couldn't help smiling; but thinking of the man's painstaking efforts to plot every step of the way, Wan'er felt her heart ache.

It would be great if she could share her worries, instead of just being her vassal, or even just being protected by her!

Wan'er doesn't want to be Ling Xiaohua clinging to her lover, she wants to stand with her lover, share and struggle together.

One's lover, of course, must be taken care of by oneself.

Shu Ting's "To the Oak Tree" was given to Wan'er.

Since the time when I decided to fight side by side with Ah Zhao, this article has started the road of strength.

Of course, Wan'er must be subject (emphasis added)~
