After Li Zhi's death, Li Xian, the crown prince who was established during his lifetime, succeeded to the throne as Tang Zhongzong, and respected Wu Meiniang as the queen mother.

It's just that Li Xian's background has changed from the original son of Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang to the third son born to Li Zhi and the queen before they succeeded to the throne.

But it doesn't matter who his birth mother is, because he's just an inconsequential little person.

In February of the following year after Li Xian succeeded to the throne, he was deposed as the king of Luling by Wu Meiniang, and his fourth son Li Dan was appointed as the emperor, which was Tang Ruizong.

Wu Meiniang is in charge of the dynasty and is dictatorial to the government.

After that, Wu Meiniang's measures were opposed by Li Tang's old ministers, and 100,000 soldiers were gathered to raise troops against the army, but they were ruthlessly suppressed by Wu Meiniang's troops, and the rebels committed suicide in defeat.

After that, Wu Meiniang took advantage of the topic to play and opened the door to whistleblowers, and the whole country could tell who had a rebellious heart, and appointed a large number of cool officials to take charge of the prison, so that those who entered the prison did not come out.

Later, even the relatives of the Li Tang royal family and the old ministers of the court were tragically implicated and slaughtered.

For a while, the noisy court was panicked,

"This woman is ruthless......"

Mu Changsheng sighed, put away the Qiankun fan, and silently stepped into the void and disappeared.

With his current methods, how could he not know that Wu Meiniang's move to find out the traitor was fake, and in order to take revenge on the Li family, even some of the descendants of the Li family were wronged, and they were also imprisoned and interrogated and died in prison.

Datang, Chang'an.

Soon after, Mu Changsheng came to the mortal world, and once again turned into the old way of the year, holding the dust from the south, his ethereal figure loomed, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see, but he entered the palace from the Vermilion Bird Gate in five or six steps.

Naturally, the guards guarding the palace gate couldn't see him.

Royal Palace, Imperial Garden.

Many eunuchs and palace ladies were separated outside a small pavilion, and Wu Meiniang sat under the pavilion.

I saw that he was dressed in a golden bird and phoenix robe, and a black head was wearing a golden phoenix hairpin, which looked graceful and luxurious, and because of the practice, her skin looked as flawless and delicate as a girl when she was in her forties.

At this time, Wu Meiniang was sitting in the pavilion playing chess, and the game against her was a young woman in her twenties, wearing palace clothes, white skin and beauty.

"Huh?"

Wu Zetian was playing chess, and suddenly turned his head suddenly, and his fierce and majestic gaze like an eagle falcon turned to the left.

I saw an old Taoist over there, ignoring the flowers on the wall in front of him, and walked straight to her, but the others didn't react, as if they didn't see it.

Not only that, but everything here seems to have stopped, the wind has stopped blowing, the flowers have stopped swinging, and the people have not moved......

"You did the spell?"

Wu Meiniang's eyes suddenly froze.

"Hehe, the queen hasn't seen her for a long time, and she is poor and polite. ”

Mu Changsheng arched his hand and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years, and my mother's demeanor is better than before." ”

Today's Wu Meiniang is indeed a little different from the past, and her every move is with the momentum of being in a high position and not being angry and arrogant.

"This palace remembers that the national teacher has retired to the mountains and forests many years ago, and now he has reappeared for some reason?"

Wu Meiniang nodded in return, and then asked, looking calm.

Although she is now the queen mother, in fact, even the emperor has to be at her mercy, and she is definitely the uncrowned emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

But only the Tao is mysterious, and the magic power is vast, and she can't figure out the depth of Mu Changsheng is a person who has always been jealous, and even the martial arts she practiced are left by Mu Changsheng, so see you again today You can imagine how vigilant she is in her heart.

However, after entering the palace for many years, she has long been able to express her joy and anger, so even if she is wary of others in her heart, she can't see it.

Mu Changsheng said: "Poor Dao knows that Niang Niang has the intention of being the emperor, but the time has not yet come, Poor Dao has to wait for Niang Niang to wait a little longer." ”

He learned through calculations that the time when Wu Meiniang became emperor was also the time when the next era would begin, and if it was appropriate, it should be ten years away.

It's just that because he reduced Li Zhi's life span by ten years, Wu Meiniang came to the court almost ten years earlier, and if it goes on like this, she will be the emperor ten years earlier.

This is different from the operation of the Heavenly Dao that has been set, if it continues to develop like this and alarms the Heavenly Dao, then he will be in big trouble, so he specially came to inform him.

"The time has not yet come?"

Wu Meiniang frowned slightly: "When will it come, and how long is the moment in the mouth of the national teacher, this palace is running out of patience now." ”

"Ten years!" said the pastor lightly.

"What, ten years?"

Wu Meiniang's face changed color after hearing this, and she said: "Do you know how much this palace has paid for today, and now that everything is at your fingertips, the great revenge of Wuxiang is about to be avenged, you actually told this palace to wait for another ten years?"

"When is the time for retribution?"

Mu Changsheng said: "You killed such an innocent old and young Li Tang royal family, can't you calm the anger in your heart? Or is this your own ambition?"

"Of course it's not enough, this palace made an oath at the beginning!"

Wu Meiniang gritted her teeth and said with a look of hatred: "The Li family sent Wuxiang to death for their family's country, and the palace took their family's country, what's wrong?"

"In short, you need to wait for ten more years, you must know that although your ascension to the throne and the title of emperor is determined by the destiny of heaven......"

The shepherd said: "But if the time is not enough, it will go against the sky, and when the time comes, it will suffer great calamity." ”

"You don't have to say much, the national teacher, this palace has made up its mind. Wu Meiniang brushed her sleeves and said unhappily.

"Alas, alas, this is different when she is a queen, and even her temper has grown a lot. ”

Mu Changsheng said with a smile: "Since Niangniang is unwilling to wait, then the only way to go to the imperial tomb is to rescue the first emperor with the technique of resurrecting the dead, and ask him to regain the throne." ”

"What?"

Wu Meiniang's eyes suddenly coldened, and she said, "You threaten the palace?"

"What's the threat?"

Mu Changsheng sneered, turned around and left: "If Niang Niang insists on going her own way, then we can try." ”

"Wait a minute!"

Wu Meiniang's face was cloudy for a moment, and she raised her hand and shouted.

Mu Changsheng paused, turned around and smiled: "What else is the matter with Niangniang?"

"Tell Hongu where my child is now. ”

Wu Meiniang stared at his smiling face and snorted: "As long as you tell his whereabouts, this palace will do what you say." ”

The shepherd bowed his head and was silent.

"Say, where is that kid now. ”

Wu Meiniang Huo Ran got up, her emotions suddenly became excited, and she said loudly: "Don't you think it's a cruel thing to take a child away from his mother for nearly thirty years and never see it?"

"Actually, you've met once. The shepherd suddenly looked up.

"What...... What, you've met once?"

Wu Meiniang froze in place and muttered, "When, where, how is this palace...... Don't know?"

Mu Changsheng said: "Twenty-four years ago, I was in Chang'an City, when His Majesty Taizong was still alive, and Tang Yudi returned from learning the scriptures......"

"That child kneeling in front of Ning Laoshangshu and his wife!"

In an instant, the memories in Wu Meiniang's heart poured out like a tide, and she clutched her chest and cried: "I remember, it's him, he's my child...... Where is he now?"

She remembered that day very clearly, when she passed by the street when she was in the honor guard to greet Tang Seng, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable when she saw the crying child.

She originally thought that it was because she knew the reason for the unexpected, but she woke up when she was told by the shepherd today.

"This matter has been informed, and the next thing is to ask the mother to keep her promise. ”

The pastor Changsheng said: "Please also remember that after you complete the destiny of heaven, you will have a happy ending." ”

After speaking, he turned around and drifted away, leaving only Wu Meiniang with tears on her face, and sat on the stone bench in a daze.

It is conceivable that Wu Meiniang will definitely go to find the child next, but eighteen years ago, the child followed Feiyun Zen Master to learn Buddhism and practice, and if she wants to find it, it really depends on the fate between mother and son.

As soon as the pastor left, everything that had been stagnant in this piece of heaven and earth suddenly returned to normal operation.

Soon after.

His figure suddenly appeared in Xiniu Hezhou, the former site of Jilei Mountain.

There will be a big war next, and he needs the Innate Wood Spirit Root to be born and fight with him in the Heavenly Court as a supreme treasure.

"Oh, interesting!"

Suddenly, Mu Changsheng's eyes moved, and his gaze fell to the foot of the mountain.

I saw that at the foot of the old site of Jilei Mountain, a large number of monks gathered, including human race, demon race, scattered immortals, etc., even the human race is also divided into several factions, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and demons, these sects have all arrived.

At this time, these masters of the human race and demons were gathering at the foot of the mountain, putting aside the mustard between each other, discussing how to break the great killing array he had laid and retrieve the remains of the building trees he had planted on the top of the mountain.

The light curtain of the killing array he laid was also stained with a layer of blood mist at this time.
