What kind of bad intentions can the little prince have?

Li Yue didn't hide Empress Wu, and there was no way to hide this kind of thing, among other things, Taiping would show up after all, she couldn't stay in Quanzhou without knowing why.

After seeing Princess Taiping, Princess Xincheng was also surprised by the courage of this niece. She even began to reflect on herself, if she had such courage back then, would the result be different.Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.

Princess Xincheng also agreed to send the news of Princess Taiping back to Luoyang. After all, Taiping is Empress Wu's most beloved daughter. Of course, if there is a conflict with her own power, Taiping will naturally be the object of abandonment.

However, when Li Yue asked for Taiping's advice, her reaction was a bit fierce. She didn't want Empress Wu to know where she was, and she even wanted to follow Mingzhu and take her family to sea.

Li Yue pondered for a while, and said, "Taiping, do you know what will happen if you do this?"

Taiping said indifferently: "She is busy with her own career now, at least for a few years, she has no time to pay attention to me! When she really gets what she wants, then what will my daughter be?"

Taiping is very clear about this, maybe before, she still cared about all kinds of love that Empress Wu gave her, but when Empress Wu clearly wanted to kill her husband, Taiping couldn't accept it at all, but she couldn't really resist Empress Wu, she All you can do is get away from it all.

Li Yue asked directly: "You should know what the Queen Mother wants to do?"

Taiping looked a little dazed, but she still nodded and said softly: "Of course I know, she wants to be emperor!"

Li Yue said bluntly: "She wants to create a new era as a woman. Under such circumstances, neither the King of Luling nor the current generation has any advantages among the Queen Mother's heirs, and you, as her Daughter, as long as you show enough potential, that position may be yours in the future, so you want to give up like this?"

Taiping was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I just want to live a good life with Saburo, as for the rest, I don't care!"

Li Yue took a deep look at her, and said: "Because of the Queen Mother's power, you almost lost Xue Shao, and your child almost lost his father. Under such circumstances, do you still feel that you don't need power?"

Taiping suddenly fell silent. She used to say that she had considerable influence, but her so-called power came from her parents' favor. In fact, she didn't have any bargaining chips in her hands. , when facing himself and the queen mother, almost all of them stood on the queen mother's side without hesitation, which made Taiping feel powerless.Even, she was able to escape this time, relying on her good sister Mingzhu.The reason why Mingzhu has such ability is nothing more than she has her own team.She has her own boat, enough money, and enough manpower. After getting the news, she can go to Luoyang starry night without going through anyone, and then free her family from the predicament. If Mingzhu was just an ordinary princess raised in her boudoir, with only a few girls as guards, and had to report to her parents when she went out to climb a mountain, what else could she do under such circumstances?

Princess Xincheng looked at Li Yue with some reproach. Is it really okay for him to speak like this?If Taiping's ambition is really stimulated, will the world be surnamed Li or Xue in the future!However, she definitely couldn't say that in front of Li Yue. In fact, she was also reflecting on herself. That's right, even a married princess like her can do very little. All of this is nothing more than The power they hold is actually false, everything is based on the emperor's favor, once the emperor's favor is lost, then everything that used to be will disappear.Just like Gao Yang, when Li Shimin was alive, Gao Yang fought against his in-laws, and Li Shimin helped wipe his ass and apologized to Fang Xuanling, but after Li Zhi ascended the throne, their family's life and death were even at Li Zhi's whim.

Li Yue still said earnestly at this moment: "Besides, no matter whether you have such thoughts or not, since you are safe, Quanzhou or even Ryukyu is far away from the emperor. Although the queen mother can't control you, it is necessary to report safety. Otherwise, the Empress Dowager will turn around and claim the world, and her life will be full of twists and turns!"

What Li Yue was really worried about was that Empress Wu used the Taiping thing to eliminate dissidents. See who is upset, and if he is convicted of kidnapping the princess, how many troubles will arise in the future!

After Taiping heard this, she felt more and more powerless. Over the years, she also felt that her mother had become more powerful and majestic, and sometimes even very cruel. In the past, these things did not fall on her, so Taiping didn't care, but Later, first Li Xian was exiled, then Li Xian, now Li Dan, and now it is her husband's turn. Taiping is not the kind of naturally tough character. She has been spoiled since she was a child, so she inevitably feels a little scared and wants to keep her at a respectful distance. .As soon as Li Yue said it now, Taiping felt that her departure might become a weapon for her biological mother, which made it even more difficult for her to bear it.

Mingzhu said unwillingly on the side: "Aye, is it possible to let my sister return it, and then tell the Queen Mother to kill her brother-in-law?"

Li Yue smiled and said: "Of course not, the world is in turmoil now, even if we want to send Taiping back, we have to worry about any accidents on the way! We have to wait until the limelight passes, anyway, wait until the queen mother really establishes With my own authority, Xue Shao's life and death will be irrelevant after he promises everything!"

Princess Taiping felt a little unwilling. After all, Xue Shao was her beloved, so how could she say that he was irrelevant?But in the end, I can only admit it!

Only then did Princess Xincheng comfort her and said: "Taiping, you have worked hard all this way, you should take a good rest these days, even Xue Shao is the same, among other things, at least take good care of your body first, so that you can plan for the future!"

Taiping nodded listlessly, that's all he can do now!

In fact, Empress Wu was not as furious as Taiping thought. After receiving the letter from Minyue, she quickly calmed down.To be honest, Empress Wu did hesitate a bit when it came to her daughter.Marriage in Taiping actually represents the marriage between the clan and the clan. This is also the normal operation of the old Li family. The daughters marry the original relatives, many of whom are the descendants of the princess who was originally married, and the sons are mostly married to relatives. The daughter of the Li family, this is the basic foundation of the Li family, and it is also the strength of the Li family to check and balance the aristocratic family. The aristocratic families are married to each other, and the Li family is married to the Guanlong military aristocrats and emerging meritorious aristocrats to form a relatively stable interest group. .As the daughter of Princess Chengyang, Xue Shao is a typical representative of this class. These people are a help to the Li family, but they are enemies to Empress Wu who wants to usurp Tang.Empress Wu really wants to say that she can be regarded as a queen of meritorious nobles, but this is just counting. In fact, the warrior Xun really squeezed into this class abruptly. The Guanlong military nobles did not recognize him, but for the emerging meritorious As far as the nobles are concerned, the samurai Xun has no real military achievements. In the eyes of many people, the samurai Xun is a typical speculator. He just seized the opportunity and made a successful investment.

Therefore, only a small part of this class can support Empress Wu, and the daughter's marriage is a good bargaining chip for Empress Wu. It is obviously not acceptable to continue marrying this class, which runs counter to Empress Wu's interests. of.Empress Wu had been looking for candidates for Taiping's next wife. In fact, the first one she had set her eyes on was Wu Minzhi, who was the original He Lanminzhi.However, Wu Minzhi already has a wife, and his wife is also from the Yang family, and they are all his own basic boards. If they were torn apart, the Yang family would fall out with him.Therefore, Empress Wu can only think about others.But those officials who came from poor families were either too old or their families were too low for Empress Wu to look down on them. After thinking about it, they found that the Wu family was the best choice.The Wu family and the Li family married again. Empress Wu thought that she could make Taiping the crown princess in the future, and the Wu family could only continue to rely on Taiping.This is also a bait for the Wu family, as long as they have a glimmer of hope, they have to honestly follow themselves to the dark.

As a result, Empress Wu was only thinking of letting Xue Shao die naturally in prison, lest Taiping would have a strong resentment towards herself, but seeing Xue Shao weakening day by day, and in a few months at most, Xue Shao would also die. It's time to die, who knows, Taiping actually managed to collude with Mingzhu, and came to a jailbreak?

Thinking of this, Empress Wu wanted to kill all the people in Luoyang Prison, but she was drugged so easily, and Xue Shao was rescued in a daze.Fortunately, the other party just wanted to rob Xue Shao. If the other party really wanted to make a big fuss in Luoyang, they might have succeeded!

However, Empress Wu can't speak up casually. After all, in this sensitive period, her daughter made such a move against her and got involved with Minyue. People seized on it as a basis for her unpopularity, otherwise why would even her daughter run away?What's more, if she really pursues Mingzhu's responsibility, Li Yue, who has only three children for so many years, will definitely not agree. If he also makes troubles, at least Jiangnan will be corrupted. Various family forces that have made a lot of money at sea can immediately jump out to fight Empress Wu.Empress Wu has long understood that in these days, all righteousness and orthodoxy are used to fool the ordinary people below. For most people, this kind of slogan is a tool, which can be used when needed. What will really touch their bottom line is fundamentally their interests.Just like when Yang Jian usurped the throne and became the emperor, everyone said in unison that Yang Jian was the destiny. When Yang Guang threatened the interests of each family, everyone immediately turned back, saying that the Sui Dynasty was the wrong way to win the country.

Therefore, what Empress Wu can finally do is to announce to the outside world that the King of Fujian is about to transfer the title to Ryukyu, and Princess Taiping will take the tour on her behalf.
