"No!" Wu Chengsi flatly rejected, "I am the first candidate for the crown throne. How could I make such a rebellious move? Isn't this a real demotion!"

"Why do I go to the palace tonight to find out?" Zixu said again.

"Well, let me think about it." Wu Chengsi scratched his head with his hand, lowered his head and thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It is not advisable to go to the palace again, so as not to arouse the emperor's suspicion of this king."

"Can't you just wait like this?" Zixu was a little unwilling.

"Is there any other way?" Wu Chengsi rolled his eyelids in Zixu, thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he ordered with a smile: "This way, you send a few people to secretly follow the Emperor Si Mansion, Luling Prince's Mansion, Liang Prince's Mansion... and Prince's Mansion. If they have any abnormal movements, report to me immediately."

Wu Chengsi was considerate quite well. Those who competed with him for the position of crown prince were nothing more than these people. If there was any movement, he would know it immediately, which would be equivalent to hearing about the movement in the palace. This approach would not anger the emperor, and it could be said that it was a prudent strategy.

"Yes! The adoptive father is smart!" Zixu agreed and praised, and went out to make arrangements.

Li Zhaode Mansion.

The emperor did not attend court for many days, and declared to be in seclusion and meditation, and to reflect on his mistakes. Could it be that he was seriously injured when he was assassinated, he was already critically ill, or even died? However, no more information was leaked in the palace. The master who sent to the palace to spy on the news at night returned without any help. He did not hear any useful information. The guards of Shangyang Palace were too strict and could not even enter a snake.

What should I do now? How to move the next step?

Bravely raised an army to break into the palace?

Once the emperor is really in seclusion, it is a serious crime of rebellion. No one can bear it and it is not advisable!

Then wait?

If the emperor really dies and a new emperor is established, he will miss the opportunity because he leaves late, which is not advisable.

Li Zhaode was wearing a regular dress, twisting his beard with his hands, paced back and forth in the main hall, showing a difficult-to-resistance look on his face.

"Ge Master, is Wu Meiniang really assassinated critically ill? If this news is true, it will be considered a happy event for us." The local official Shangshu Ge Fuyuan smiled and showed a gloating expression on his face.

"I originally thought that this day would have to wait for a long time, but I didn't expect that this day would arrive so soon. It was really unhappy to retribution. God helped Li Tang!" General Zuo Yingyang, Cao Ren, laughed loudly, and his voice was like a jackal.

For them, they wished that Wu Zetian was seized by the god of death earlier, so that they would not be able to make a rebellion and war.

Death is an excellent power to change dynasties! It is both relaxed and natural, and will not harm the country or cause harm to the living beings!

"Hey, if this is true, it would be a great thing, but no exact news in the palace was revealed, and this cabinet could not determine how far the situation had developed." Li Zhaode looked at Ge Fuyuan who couldn't wait, and then looked at the impatient Cao Renshi, shook his head helplessly, and sighed.

Like other palaces, the news Li Zhaode received was extremely concise and was the core content. However, to learn more, he had to enter the palace. He also went to the palace to ask the emperor for peace, but was also blocked by Wu Chang. Without Zhang Lin and Chunxiang in the palace, he naturally could not know the details of the assassination.

Even if Li Zhaode has installed a higher-ranking person in the harem, so what? Without witnessing the entire assassination process, no matter how high the status is, it will be given in vain. Because all the news was closely blocked by Wu Changyan.

"Ge Lao, the biggest news is that there is no news! With Wu Meiniang's arrogant nature, how could she blame herself for thinking about her mistakes? In my opinion, 99% of her ability is no longer possible, but she is reluctant to hand over the country to the emperor's heir, so she caused such a saying of retreat! I think it's just a closed coffin!" Ge Fuyuan pointed out to the point, speaking without any scruples.

"What are we waiting for? Hurry up and bring troops into the palace, set the crown and establish the king, determine the world, and achieve success in the world! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Master Cao Ren was ready to try, eager to try.

"Two, if we want to accomplish great things, we must not be polite! Wu Meiniang's cautious behavior means that she has a backup plan, so we must be careful." Li Zhaode smiled slightly at Master Cao Ren, and his eyes showed a far-sighted light, and he said slowly.

"Ge Master, what do you think you should do? Once Wu Meiniang passes on the throne to the Wu family, it will take a lot of trouble to make trouble again. At that time, the two sides will be in trouble, and the world will be in chaos and the lives will be ruined." A look of worry and sadness flashed in Cao Renshi's eyes. Speaking of which, these people are really loyal people in the eyes of ordinary people, but they secretly opposed the court and the emperor, but they were the villains.

"Gei, I think it's time to ask the emperor to come forward."

"Speaking of this, who dares to refuse to use the name of the emperor to command the world? But this emperor is timid and afraid of trouble. As long as his mother is still breathing a sigh of relief, he will not dare to make trouble!"

"No matter whether he is timid or bold, let's invite the emperor to come and make him the emperor, and use the emperor to command the princes, why worry about the big things going on? Besides, there are our people in the palace, so we can cooperate with each other inside and outside! In my opinion, it is not difficult to get rid of Wu Meiniang!"

"According to your method, we will become traitors. It is not advisable, it is not advisable!" Li Zhaode shook his head and waved his hand, said earnestly, pondered for a moment, and said with a sigh: "I will talk to the emperor and try to convince him to stand up."

After the two important subordinates dispersed, Li Zhaode entered the study room, took a vase on the bookshelf, revealing a circular button. He twisted the circular button, and the bookshelf silently separated to both sides, and a door appeared in the middle. Li Zhaode looked around, then tidied up his clothes, and stepped into the dark room behind the study room. The bookshelf was quietly closed behind him.

In the dark room, there was a handsome young man who was putting on makeup in front of the bronze mirror on the table. When he saw Li Zhaode coming in, he quickly got up, bowed and said, "Teacher!"

"Young Master, this time you ventured into the Shendu. Does Lord Guo have any important things to convey?" Li Zhaode helped the young master up with both hands and laughed.

The young master was named Li Zitang, who was the posthumous son of Prince Zhang Huai. He was both civil and military, and was the biggest trump card in Li Zhaode's hands. Even his two most important subordinates, Cao Renshi and Ge Fuyuan, did not know because he felt that it was not the moment for them to know.

Li Zitang showed a happy smile on his face and said excitedly: "Teacher Guo has contacted several generals in charge, and they all agreed to the uprising, and now they are only missing the tiger talisman."

"The tiger talisman is in Wu Meiniang's hands, and it is probably difficult to get the heavy army." Li Zhaode shook his head and sighed. In fact, even if Wu Zetian was not seriously injured, raising a army was their established strategy, but the best time has not come yet.

"This matter is in my hands." Li Zitang patted his chest and said lightly.

"Young master is a man of a thousand gold medals, how can you take risks with your own life?" Li Zhaode advised softly.

"For me, the palace is like walking on flat ground. Even if I want to kill Wu Meiniang, it is not difficult, let alone a small tiger talisman?" Li Zitang smiled slightly and said lightly.

Li Zhaode thought for a while and nodded slightly: "Since that's the case, you might as well find out when you enter the palace, what is the situation of Wu Meiniang? Is it life or death!"

"If she is not dead, I will give her another knife." Li Zitang curled his lips and showed a very domineering smile. While speaking, a deep hatred appeared between his handsome eyes, but this hatred flashed and he concealed it very well. Even in front of his mentor, he rarely showed hatred.

"No!" Li Zhaode waved his hand immediately and advised him solemnly, "It's okay if Wu Meiniang dies. The young master will be the master of Wancheng. You must not do such a rebellious thing that would harm the name of Lingming."

"Teacher Xie's teachings. But please rest assured, I just said casually. I still have a lot of knowledge on how to do it."

Li Zitang was as good as a stream of good deeds, and said quickly.

He understood what Li Zhaode said. No matter what, Wu Meiniang was his grandmother. It would be fine if she shouted and scolded and killed her, but if she really killed her grandmother, even if the latter was his murderous crime, even if the latter was his enemy of his father and mother, it was a serious crime of rebellion. It was unwilling tolerate Confucian gentlemen and would leave stains in history. This was indeed undesirable for a young man who was determined to win the throne.
