The reason why Wu Zetian called Li Dan to the palace for a lecture was that the latter was not enterprising, lost his ambition, and hang out with brothel women all day long, affecting the royal face, but this was not the main reason; there was also a deeper reason, I am afraid that even she herself did not realize that to a large extent was driven by the subconscious, just to inform the latter that women could also inherit the major discovery of the throne.

After hearing Wu Zetian's words that both men and women could inherit the throne, Li Dan was dumbfounded and speechless.

I am not a joke to say this, but to take it seriously? Do you really need to follow other countries and make Princess Taiping the heir of the emperor or even the crown prince?

If you agree with Wu Zetian's words, it is very likely to implement this matter. If you refute against her words, it is very likely to anger him and cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, it is better not to say anything.

Li Dan lowered his head and said nothing, but cursed in his heart: "Damn, which expert mentioned this advice that killed people? Once I found out, I will never forgive him!"

...

Wei Prince's Mansion.

The Wei Palace is less than five miles away from the palace and covers an area of ​​60 hectares. It is the most magnificent mansion in the entire capital of God. In addition to the palace and the Eastern Palace, there are countless halls, lofts and platforms, thousands of servants, and hundreds of guests gathered. It can be said that the carriages and horses are everywhere, and the caps and caps are gathered.

King Wu Chengsi of Wei was Wu Zetian's nephew. He was the number one person in the Wu family and the royal heir Li Dan competed for the position of crown prince.

Wu Chengsi spent a lot of energy and activities to win over many important officials in the court. They kept whispering to Wu Zetian: If you want to establish a prince, you must establish the same surname, and the other surnames should not be the prince. They kept talking in Wu Zetian's ears: The Li surname is an external surname, and Li and Wu are incompatible, and the water and fire are incompatible. The day when the Li Tang Dynasty restored the throne will be the time when the Wu family will be destroyed.

Wu Chengsi's efforts achieved certain results, which made Wu Zetian almost accept the idea that the crown prince should establish the same surname. However, she did not make any decision because the matter is so large that she must make a long-term plan.

Wu Chengsi was anxious, but he had no choice but to do anything. He couldn't force himself too much, otherwise it would arouse his aunt Wu Zetian's doubts.

He knew very well that the reason why his nephew wanted to inherit his aunt's position was actually very far-fetched, and there was no precedent from ancient times to the present. If he had changed to any other aunt, it would be impossible to make his nephew the heir. Wu Zetian offended his husband's family too harshly and was worried about letting his son inherit it, so he would consider letting his nephew take over.

Wu Chengsi could only pretend not to be anxious and step up his actions secretly. On the one hand, he hooked up with Zhang Yizhi, the first person in the harem, and let the latter blow the wind on Wu Zetian. On the other hand, he investigated the faults of the emperor's heir Li Dan, and secretly reported it to Wu Zetian at any time.

The matter of Li Dan's indulgence in brothel women was reported to Wu Zetian by Wu Chengsi's people. He wanted the emperor's aunt to know that Li Dan was incompetent, Hu Tianhai was incompetent, and he was unyielding, and was distracted from his ambitions. He did not look like a royal heir.

If Li Dan even had the position of Emperor Si, there would be even more hope of becoming the crown prince. At that time, Wu Chengsi would have no opponent!

Wu Chengsi thought it was pretty and was waiting for Li Dan to be deposed, but the result was unexpected.

Wu Chengsi put a spy in the palace and the news was very well-informed.

The emperor trained his son in the palace in the morning, and Wu Chengsi received a secret report from the informant that the emperor did not depose Li Dan's position as the emperor, but just scolded him severely and asked him to think about his mistakes behind closed doors and not go out for three months.

If it was just such a piece of news, it wouldn't matter. Wu Chengsi didn't expect to deal with Li Dan with one or two things, and there would be opportunities in the future.

The problem is that another explosive news came from the informant: A master suggested to the emperor that his daughter could also be an heir and a priest, and the emperor was very interested in this!

After hearing this news, Wu Chengsi was sweating all over and felt extremely nervous.

To be honest, the emperor's two sons, Li Dan and Li Xian, and Wu Chengsi, did not take it seriously because he knew that the emperor had no sense of trust in his two sons! Any disturbance would arouse her dissatisfaction and suspicion for her two sons!

The emperor's daughter is Princess Taiping. The favor and trust she received in the emperor is several times greater than the favor she received by Li Dan and Li Xian and all the nephews of the Wu family. If Princess Taiping also joins the candidate for the legitimate heir to the throne and gets favor from the emperor inside, and outside because she is the descendant of Li Tang and the support of the ministers, then no one will be her opponent!

If so, how could he have Wu Chengsi's position as the crown prince?

Damn, which turtleman asked the emperor for this suggestion? If I know, I will kill him!

"Let me check it out. Which turtle belle is the one who makes such a bullshit to the emperor?!" Wu Chengsi said with a dark face and said angrily.

Not only Wu Chengsi got angry, but almost at the same time, King Wu Sansi of Liang and King Li Xian of Luling also received secret reports from the palace. They all heard the news that the master made suggestions to the emperor. They were all furious and angry. They each sent people to investigate. Which turtle bet is the so-called master? Once it was found out, they would definitely have to peel off his skin...

Zhang Lin, who was in Cuiyang Palace, probably never dreamed of it. A sentence he said to Wu Zetian accidentally offended the four princes of the Great Zhou, the emperor's two sons and two most powerful nephews, and caused a great disaster...

...

Cuiyang Palace.

"The Young Master, Duke Ye, has arrived." A long shout like a duck came into Cuiyang Palace.

Zhang Lin knew that the Duke of Ye was Zhang Changzong, the Liulang of Lotus, and was of high status and powerful status. He could not compare with the idle people such as Xue Ziyi and Tian Daogui. Even if he didn't like it, he could only give in and lead the eunuchs and palace maids from Cuiyang Palace to the courtyard to greet him.

Surrounded by more than ten eunuchs and palace maids, a pretty pseudo-girl in a bright red dress walked around and entered Cuiyang Palace with a very serious expression on her face.

"Greetings to the Lord Shaojian Duke Ye." Although Zhang Lin looked down on Zhang Changzong, according to the rules in the palace, he had to give the Lord Shaojian a first ritual, so he could only temporarily aggrieved himself and kneel down to pay homage to him, with his first ritual.

Zhang Changzong did not ask Zhang Lin to get up, but walked up to him with his hands behind his back, stared at him with his peach blossom eyes for a while, and then slowly spoke after a while, "Do you know your guilt?"

"Sir Young Master, I don't know what the crime is, please make it clear." Zhang Lin asked guiltily. He guessed that it might be that he had escaped from the palace yesterday.

"You have violated the rules of the palace without permission. What crime should you do if you have violated the rules in the palace?" Zhang Changzong raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Lin's nose, sternly scolded, and almost spitted on the latter's face.

"Sir Young Master, I don't understand what you mean." Zhang Lin pretended to be confused. While speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the eunuch and palace maid behind him, trying to see which slave reported to Zhang Changzong about his escape from the palace. Humph, I will definitely find out who it is and will not be able to spare you in the future!

The two eunuchs and palace maids both lowered their heads, and the little five sons were also on the list, and no one dared to look at Zhang Lin.

"Pretend, I'll tell you to pretend!" Seeing Zhang Lin pretending to be confused and refused to admit his account, Zhang Changzong was so angry that he took a few steps back and ordered the eunuch who followed him, "Come on, beat me this guy fifty board."
