Wu Zetian's face was gloomy when she heard this, she was very skeptical of He Yi's words, after all, the sky was clear at noon yesterday, and Chang'an was less than a hundred miles away from Xianyang, she had never seen any clouds, let alone any divine thunder, besides, it was winter now, where did the thunder come from.

Although she was very skeptical, she couldn't find any other explanation, such a huge tombstone, if it didn't use siege equipment, it really couldn't be destroyed, but this place was heavily defended, how could siege equipment get in.

"Could it really be the Divine Thunder?" Wu Meiniang stared at the broken monument and muttered to herself, "It just so happened that when I ascended the throne, what did this portend, could it be caused by Li Hao's anger under the Yellow Spring, or was it a warning from heaven......

Wu Zetian suddenly felt regretful, she shouldn't be in such a hurry, although she desperately wanted to get the throne, but she has been trying her best to restrain herself, wanting to delay for a few more years, first let the people of this world get used to being controlled by her, when they are all numb, it is not too late to ascend the throne, but the Luoshui Holy Stone came too suddenly, so that she was also a little surprised, the ministers' invitation made her float, and she was carried away for a while, and she couldn't use reason to suppress her desires, she just ascended to the throne, and now that she has calmed down, she really regrets it, I feel like I'm too impatient.

Wu Zetian paced back and forth in front of the broken tombstone, and after a long time, he suddenly said coldly: "Pass the order, immediately reshape the tombstone for Li Hao, this matter must not be spread, those who violate the order will destroy the nine clans!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone hurriedly bowed down to answer, no one dared to question her words, Wu Zetian's ruthless methods were still very frightening in the court.

Wu Chengsi came to Liu Xuanji again, this time Wu Chengsi was smiling, of course he was happy, his aunt was the emperor, could he not be happy, according to his understanding of his aunt, selfishness is so heavy, he will definitely not return the throne to the people of the Li family, otherwise after the people of the Li family take the throne, they will definitely take revenge on their Wu family, that is to say, it is impossible to pass on the throne to her son, but to the surname Wu, there are only two descendants of the surname Wu, that is, he and Wu Sansi.

Wu Chengsi and Liu Xuanji chatted for a long time, and then brought up this topic, and then asked Liu Xuanji: "Sir, now that the overall situation has been decided, there is only one person who threatens my succession to the throne, Wu Sansi, and I ask Mr. to help me with advice, how can I kill Wu Sansi?" ”

Liu Xuanji smiled indifferently, shook his head and said: "My lord, don't be impatient, I watched the stars last night and found that although the new emperor's star was bright, there were stars competing with it around him, which was an unlucky appearance." ”

"What?" Wu Chengsi groaned slightly when he heard this, and said, "You mean that there are still people who want to seize the emperor's throne?" ”

"Yes, yes." Liu Xuanji nodded and said, "The country was originally owned by the Li family, and the Wu family suddenly took it, how could the Li family be willing to rest, if what the old man said was true, when the new emperor's accession to the throne spread all over the Tang Dynasty, the people of the royal family around the country were afraid that they would start to rebel, and then recruit troops everywhere to accumulate strength, and within a year, someone would raise the flag to rebel." ”

Wu Chengsi was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "They are just a group of clowns who jump off the beam, why be afraid." ”

"Your Excellency is wrong." Liu Xuanji said, "Although their strength is weak, they can also disturb the chaos in the world, the decline of national strength, and when the time comes, the Hulu invades, the imperial court is powerless to resist, and the huge country will be overturned......

Wu Chengsi frowned, and said unhappily: "Sir, it's alarmist, my court is strong and strong, how can a group of rebels disrupt it?" ”

Liu Xuanji said: "My lord doesn't know, under the rule of Taizong, the country and the people are safe, when the Empress Wu is in the dynasty, agricultural taxes and commercial taxes are added, the people are not having a good time, and the people will naturally choose to support the Li dynasty. ”

Wu Chengsi immediately panicked when he heard this, glared and shouted, "Didn't you say that the Luoshui Holy Stone Vision can deceive people's hearts?" ”

Liu Xuanji said: "It's really demagogic, otherwise how would the Empress Wu ascend the throne?" ”

"Yes...... But since they accepted our Wu clan as emperor, why did they rebel? ”

Liu Xuanji said: "The people are ignorant, they like to conform to the herd, the so-called snake has no head, as long as someone takes the lead in agitation, starting from interests, they will turn against the Wu family, the relationship, I hope you can understand." ”

Wu Chengsi said: "Then what should I do, I won't really succeed in their rebellion, right?" Can Mr. Liu help us with the Wu family's divination? ”

Liu Xuanji shook his head and sighed: "After observing the stars last night, the old man has already tried it, it involves imperial power, it is related to heaven, even if the old man gives up his life, I am afraid it will be difficult to deduce, my lord forgives his sins." ”

"This ...... How good is that! Wu Chengsi said anxiously, "Sir, you must help our Wu family, you must help us......"

"My lord, be at ease, wait for the old man to think about it." Liu Xuanji raised his hand to stop him, and pretended to close his eyes and think.

After a long time, Liu Xuanji suddenly opened his eyes.

Wu Chengsi asked eagerly, "How?" Is there a magic way? ”

Liu Xuanji said: "There is no magic method, but there is a stupid way." ”

Wu Chengsi hurriedly asked, "What stupid way?" ”

Liu Xuanji said: "The first strike is strong, while these Li Tang royal families have not yet become a climate, let the emperor decree, summon them to Chang'an, and then catch them all, and never suffer in the future!" ”

Wu Chenghe's eyes rolled when he heard this, and then he clapped his hands and said: "Okay, good way, just do it, kill them all, and never suffer in the future!" ”

Liu Xuanji suddenly closed his eyes and sighed: "Alas, this method hurts the heavens and the peace, and it has nothing to do with the old man, it is the adult's own idea." ”

"Yes, yes, this is my idea, and it has nothing to do with Mr."

……

After Wu Chengsi left, Li Hao walked out of the inner room, and Liu Xuanji asked worriedly, "Uncle Shi, is it really appropriate to do this?" ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "What's inappropriate?" ”

Liu Xuanji said: "Of course it's not appropriate, you have always been loyal to Li Tang, if all the members of the royal family are killed, the cause and effect will fall on your head." ”

"Are they pigs?" Li Hao picked up a cherry from the fruit tray, put it in his mouth, and said slowly, "Wu Meiniang has been proclaimed emperor, and she summoned them to Chang'an, obviously to harm them, will they obediently come over to die?" ”

Liu Xuanji thought about it, so he asked, "Then what is the purpose of your strategy?" ”

"To force them to rebel." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "These members of the royal family, they may not all have loyalty and blood, maybe they will choose Gou'an's side, it is none of their business to hang high, anyway, the throne has nothing to do with them, but if the knife hangs over their heads, they will naturally struggle to resist, and raising the flag to rebel is the only way out." ”

Liu Xuanji frowned and said: "But with their strength, if they want to deal with Wu Meiniang, they are afraid that they will hit the stone with an egg." ”

Li Hao said: "It is also appropriate to describe it appropriately by hitting the stone with an egg, after all, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are too strong, but you don't have to worry, isn't there another Yuan Tiangang, it won't be long before he should show up, oh, by the way, I should also be ready to prepare, let Li Guocheng lead the troops to take Quanzhou first, and start the first shot of this rebellion!" ”

On the first day of the first month, Wu Chenghei entered the palace to pay New Year's greetings to Wu Zetian, after all, his aunt came, and after the New Year, he actually presented a letter.

Wu Zetian saw Song Shu, waved his hand and shook his head: "Today's New Year's Day, you are here to pay New Year's greetings, not to talk about government affairs." ”

Wu Chengsi suddenly knelt on the ground, raised his hands high, and said: "Your Majesty, this performance is extremely important, please read it by the emperor!" ”

Seeing this, Wu Zetian knew that it must not be a trivial matter, so in desperation, she asked people to present the recital, she opened it and looked at it, and suddenly her eyes widened, this recital, if it is summed up in one word, it is - "kill!" ”

Wu Chenghei asked Wu Zetian to summon all the members of the royal family to "enter Chang'an, Huimingtang, and perform the ceremony" within a time limit, but in fact, this is just a reason, and the actual purpose is to kill them all.

He also explained the reason in the recital, because these members of the royal family must not accept Wu Zetian's claim to be the emperor, and they will definitely secretly accumulate strength to rebel, it is better to strike first and never suffer in the future, this move can be described as extremely ruthless, perhaps ruthlessness is the characteristic of their Wu clan.

After Wu Zetian read this note, she frowned and groaned, and after a long time, she suddenly asked Wu Chenghei: "This letter is written by yourself?" No one taught you? ”

Wu Chengsi was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't expect this to be seen by her, so he hurriedly said: "It was written by the minister himself, and there is no one to teach the minister." ”

Wu Zetian nodded slowly, she found that Wu Chengsi seemed to have grown a lot, and he analyzed it very thoroughly, although there were also people from the royal family in Chang'an, but these people were all under her nose, and they were all cut off from power, they were completely decorations, there was no threat, but the group of royal families who went to their respective fiefdoms were different, if they secretly recruited troops and horses as royalty, demagoguery, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, she really couldn't control it, and she had to guard against it.

Wu Zetian thought about it for a long time, and decided to immediately issue an edict to summon all the Li royal family to "enter Chang'an, Huiming Hall, and perform a ceremony".

On the third day of the first lunar month, countless people and horses went out separately to the fiefdoms of various feudal kings to pass the decree, and even a team of people and horses went to Qiongnan, which was to summon Li Hong, after all, Li Hong was also a prince.

When Li Hao heard about this, he immediately secretly sent Feiying to follow the team all the way, and soon after entering the Lingnan realm, he secretly solved all of them.

The vassal kings all over the country have heard about Wu Meiniang's claim to be the emperor, some people are angry, some people sigh secretly, and the performance is different, but when Wu Meiniang's holy decree arrives, everyone expresses the same emotion, anger, everyone is not a fool, even if they are fools, the staff and strategists around them are not fools, can't they see Wu Meiniang's conspiracy, this is to wipe them all out.

Just right, a rebellion broke out in Quanzhou, and the descendants of Li Hao, the king of Qiongnan, suddenly seized Quanzhou and raised the banner of anti-Wu Meiniang, so almost all the vassal kings left the summoned team permanently in their fiefdoms, and then raised the banner of rebellion, listing Wu Meiniang's major crimes, vowing to recapture Li Tang Jiangshan and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous world.

Because Bashu is far away, and the road is difficult, Shu Road is difficult, Yizhou is the last to receive the edict, Wu King Li Ke's house, that group of people are announcing the decree, but the will is only half announced, the person who announced the decree suddenly flew up, and the guards outside also fell to the ground with a scream, and they were killed in an instant.

Wu Wang Li Ke was stunned when he saw this, and saw Yuan Tiangang standing in front of him, the sword in his hand was still dripping blood, and he suddenly said happily: "Military advisor? Is the time ripe? ”

"Yes." Yuan Tiangang smiled slightly, returned the sword into the sheath, and said, "Your Highness, after waiting for so many years, we can finally justifiably turn the opposite!" ”

At this time, an old general covered in armor and gray hair walked into the hall and bowed to Li Ke: "Your Highness, the herald team outside the door has been completely resolved, and the 70,000 army has been trained for many years and is ready to be on call at any time!" ”

"General Hou has worked hard!" Li Ke nodded vigorously, his face full of excitement.

The old general in front of him turned out to be Hou Junji!
