In fact, Wu Zetian seldom cares about the matters between male favorites, just like most emperors would not get involved in the battles in the harem, their power is determined, they just need to wait for others to please themselves, which one they prefer Well, just sleep a few more times, give more things, it is best to let the other party have a baby, and then everyone will know that the bottom will cling to it, even if the same level or even higher level is jealous, they can't blatantly deal with others Now, at most, it can only be a stumbling block in the dark.

The same is true for Wu Zetian, don't look at Zhang Yizhi as the supervisor of the Crane Supervisor. On the surface, Yang Zhe belongs to Zhang Yizhi's management, but if it is an ordinary person who is not favored, even if Zhang Yizhi beats him to death, no one will It offends him.But the problem is, it is Yang Zhe who is favored now.Because he didn't ask for much, Wu Zetian didn't give him any real job, but he was so favored that Wu Zetian couldn't eat well without Yang Zhe by his side.Under such circumstances, whoever dares to offend Yang Zhe will offend Wu Zetian.

Although the two brothers Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong have experienced a good education, and they have even cultivated considerable political struggle ability over the years, they are actually strangers to Gongdou.There is no need for this, the queen is a typical face dog, just relying on a face, they have compared the original male favorites.However, they never thought that they would need to compete for His Majesty's favor with a little boy who came out of the market.And in this, Yang Zhe is the professional.Over the years, he has coaxed many people, and he has a good grasp of the psychology of older women. At this age, Wu Zetian is actually a little old, dizzy and lacking in energy. Zhang Yizhi can please her not only because he is good-looking, but because Because he is good at concocting a kind of medicine that can make people energetic, Wu Zetian needs this. An old man who has begun to age and frailty, in order to maintain her rule, she needs to appear in front of everyone with a strong and powerful image.The appearance can be maintained and modified, but the inner aging cannot be reversed.However, anyone who understands knows that this refreshment is actually at the cost of overdrawn energy and even life span.Wu Zetian's biological mother, Yang, lived a long life and lived to be more than 90 years old. Wu Zetian has a longevity gene.However, Yang's life in his later years was so nourishing, but Wu Zetian devoted most of his energy to the court.She couldn't help it before, but now, she has confirmed Taiping as the heir. Compared with her son, this daughter needs the support of her own mother if she wants to gain a foothold. There is a high probability that the palace will be forced, but Taiping will maintain the justice and rationality of Wu Zetian's legal system, because if Wu Zetian's rule is unreasonable, then the identity of Taiping, the crown prince, will also be questioned.

Therefore, Wu Zetian has now begun to decentralize power appropriately. What she needs is to cultivate her health and rest, instead of continuing to maintain a strong fighting spirit and energy as before. Under such circumstances, the importance of the Zhang brothers in her eyes has declined. A lot.

Without Wu Zetian's support, the group of people in the court who were persecuted and suppressed by the Zhang brothers immediately found an opportunity and started jumping up and down. Wu Zetian has been slack in managing these matters now, but they have handed them over to Taiping. She did not hide her hostility towards the Zhang brothers. After all, for Taiping, she had suffered a betrayal.Back then, Zhang Changzong was recommended to Wu Zetian through Taiping's hand, but in the end, they actually hooked up with Li Xian, which is typical ungrateful.

For ordinary people, encountering this kind of thing would make them feel disgusted for a while and want to take revenge, let alone someone with high authority.Especially the royal people, this is the most intolerable thing, only they betray others, how can others betray theirs!

Wu Zetian is even using these two favorite male favorites to teach Taiping the corresponding skills. For the courtiers, the emperor's tolerance will only make them push forward. They will continue to challenge your bottom line. If you back down once, then they will be more Further, and then wish to spray saliva on your face, forcing you to keep backing down.

And an emperor who will retaliate, and sometimes even seems moody, will make his courtiers fearful and dare not fool around.In the history books, the kind of emperors that the courtiers like mostly have a good reputation in the history books, but for the country, they are unqualified, and they are even a nightmare for a country.For example, Song Renzong and Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty, in the mouths of civil servants, are all benevolent and wise emperors. However, their good reputation has fallen, but they have left a mess for later generations.Among other things, the appetite of the bureaucrats has been raised by them, and it will be difficult for the next emperor to rule them!

Taiping can deal with the Zhang brothers directly, but Taiping is a little hesitant when it comes to his two elder brothers.As a mother, what Wu Zetian wanted to do to her son was finally in line with the etiquette concept of this era. After all, she was both a parent and an emperor, so she could naturally kill her children.But Taiping is the younger sister, if she is too cruel to her two elder brothers, then her reputation will become very bad.Therefore, it is best to deal with Li Xian and Li Dan when Wu Zetian is still there.

Wu Zetian also didn't want to leave too many hidden dangers for her daughter. Therefore, after disposing of Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi's brothers, Wu Zetian said in the court hall that Li Xian not only did not reflect on himself in Fangling for so many years, but intensified, colluded with his ministers, and intended to subvert Chaotang, the crime is unforgivable, said that he would directly kill Li Xian.

As for Taiping, he stood up and said that the seventh brother had no such intentions, that he did something stupid because he was coerced by others, and asked his mother to forgive him.It was said to be pleading, but in fact Li Xian was charged with conspiracy.But Wu Zetian's attitude was very persistent.

A group of people in the court hall were also taken aback. Although they knew that Wu Zetian was cruel, but in the past, many people imagined that a tiger would not eat its children, and that a mother is always softer than a father. It can be imagined that now that the crown prince is appointed, this one is ready to clear the way for the little daughter!But think about it, no matter how incompetent Li Xian is, after all, he took advantage of his age and gender, especially since he was the crown prince conferred by Li Zhi before his death, he had an advantage in etiquette. In other words, it is a heartache.

The so-called cold lips and teeth are in addition to the fact that many people really have some hope in case, so at this moment, many people jumped out to intercede with Li Xian, but Wu Zetian said coldly: "I am still here now, he is just here. I can't hold it back anymore, at my age, after a hundred years, do I still want the new king to bear the name of killing my brother?"

At this moment, a minister came out cautiously and said: "Your Majesty's worries are nothing more than that the King of Luling may have mischievous intentions, which may lead to the disaster of Xiao Qiang. May wish to emulate Zao's old story!"

Taiping's eyes also brightened, she is considered mature now, and now she put on a posture that was about to cry: "Please think again, Mother!"

Wu Zetian pretended to hesitate for a while, and finally let go: "Since that's the case, I don't know where you think the king of Luling should be canonized?"

A minister asked cautiously: "How about canonizing Tiannan?"

Wu Zetian frowned immediately, Tiannan was next to the plateau, and if the two brothers join forces later, they will do a lot of tricks, so it's better not to give them a chance to make mistakes.

Another minister hesitated: "So, how about conferring the land of Anton?"

Compared with the plateau, the environment in Anton is actually much better. It is really rich in products. Although it is a bit bitter and cold, especially in the north, it is really winter for half of the year. It’s better than Luling, where soybeans, rice and even cotton are grown, and there are also some minerals. Over the years, those aristocratic families have made a lot of money there, and many aristocratic families are not very happy to entrust Li Xian there. Because that is almost to snatch food from their mouths.

Wu Zetian pondered for a while, finally nodded, and said: "In this case, then I will make Li Xian the King of Liao, divide the three counties in Andong, and entrust him with land for the King of Liao!"

The following ministers bowed down one after another: "My emperor is holy!"

Li Xian's matter was resolved, and then someone thought of Li Dan. Li Xian was an unstable element, and Li Dan was actually similar. Both of them had been crown princes and emperors.Li Xian himself is not worried, Li Dan is a child, who knows if Li Dan will have any thoughts later?Therefore, it is best to send Li Dan out as well.

However, where to send Li Dan is a problem. Li Xian went to the northeast, Li Xian is in the southwest, and Li Longji is in the southeast. Then, Li Dan can go to Anxi. If the guy hooks up with Li Xian, it's better to go a little further west, at least ten days away from Li Xian, so it will be safer.

Li Dan is still locked in his own county palace at the moment. He has been in fear for the past few years, but after getting the order this time, he was relieved.He didn't intend to become emperor back then. After all, he was the youngest son. Who would have thought that there would be so many accidents after that?He is not the same as Li Xian. Although Li Xian said that the queen mother was regent at that time, he had really mastered the supreme imperial power. As for Li Dan, since he became the emperor, he has been immersed in the fear of precarity. middle.Therefore, he feared it like a tiger and wished he could avoid it.He has been having nightmares, dreaming that before his mother died, she ordered someone to bring him a jug of poisoned wine, and was going to take him on the road together, but now it is all right, he was named King Rong, and he was planning to sail in the Western Regions. I gave him a piece of land, and it will be his feudal country in the future, and his descendants can guard it for generations. Although it is far away from the prosperous place in the Central Plains, it is not a barren land after all. It is not so rich that it is regarded as a fat sheep by Turks and even Tubo, and they have to come and plunder from time to time.

With the succession of Li Xian and Li Dan, the vast majority of people understood that it was inevitable for the second empress to ascend to the throne.
