Chapter 214 Lonely
Li Xian can be said to be the smartest among the children born to Empress Wu, and most resembles one of her sons, but this son is ambitious.

He felt that his mother was too capable, not only capable, but also in good health. If he had always been the prince, it would be fine, and he would just wait for his parents to die and succeed him.

But no, he will be the emperor after his father's death, but he can't make the decision when he becomes the emperor. Then he will be pressed by the empress dowager, who has the final say on everything, and he absolutely cannot tolerate it.

It is said that there is no father and son in the Tian family, this is true.In the royal family, even the father and the son are usually against each other, not to mention the empress mother, who is already a dishonorable name in his heart.

The children and grandchildren of the old Li family were born with the potential for rebellion. Look at Li Shimin who was involved in the Xuanwumen Incident, let’s talk about the eldest son Li Chengqian who was shot to death by Li Shimin for rebellion, and Li Ke who was killed by his grandson Wuji for rebellion.

Among the sons of Li Shiminsheng alone, there are not many rebels. They are all father and son brothers. Therefore, the old Li family probably has a rebellious genetic attribute in their blood, so they all think about how to rebel.

Although Li Xian is smart and capable, living up to his virtuous name, he doesn't have much affection for his mother, Empress Wu. After his father's death, he took power smoothly.

Since Li Xian was established as the prince, he changed his low-key style in the past, and began to win over ministers and win people's hearts. On the surface, he did not have any conflicts with Empress Wu, nor did he express any dissatisfaction with Empress Wu's power, but he was stunned. Both civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty knew that he was in opposition to Empress Wu.

This ability is really amazing, you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.If Empress Wu asked about the crime, he could presume that it was framed by someone to drive a wedge between their mother and child. He never had any dissatisfaction with the empress mother.If Chao Wenwu wants to trouble Empress Wu, he can express his approval here. Isn't there a rumor that he is against the empress?

Li Xian was having fun in the court hall, but Empress Wu began to be wary of this son. Empress Wu has come to this step step by step, and her relatives are almost dead, especially after watching her own son die. The family affection is getting weaker and weaker.

She also fully understood what it meant to have no father and son in a family. When she came to the royal family, she could abandon everything for the sake of power and wealth. What was family affection?So this time when she knew that her son had no filial piety towards her and wanted to deal with her, she was not as sad as before.

Perhaps after a lot of experience, it is not as sad as before. How many years has Empress Wu been in business, is it so easy for Li Xian to seize power?Li Xianneng's success in court is nothing more than taking up the orthodox name of the Li family.

But how did Empress Wu take the power from those old foxes back then, and after so many years of running the business, these old-fashioned people who support the Li family are no match for them. Li Xian is still not as good as his mother after all his efforts.

Poor Li Xian always dreamed that when he sat on the throne, he would be able to control the power alone, and not be overwhelmed by his mother, but he only ended up as the crown prince throughout his life, and could not sit on the throne until his death.

When Empress Wu asked Li Xiruo to help her deal with Li Xian, Li Xiruo had nothing to say. Unlike Li Hong's benevolence, Li Xiruo really didn't care about Li Xian's dealing with his own mother for the sake of power. What a good impression, after a few bad luck charms, Li Xian's background will be leaked.

At this time, Li Zhi also realized that his sons are all useless. If there is no support from Empress Wu, it is still unknown who will win Li Tang's country.He resigned to his fate, and his attitude towards Empress Wu gradually eased.

At the last stage of his life, he also figured it out. Empress Wu did not have any heirs with others. In the future, the crown prince will be established by his own son. Having such a strong mother queen can be said to have advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is naturally that there is such a queen mother. No one can overthrow Li Tang's dynasty, drive his son from the throne, or take away his son's rights.The disadvantage is that the rights in his son's hands will be divided by Empress Wu.

It's better to be separated by one's own mother than to be separated by those powerful officials in the court. A biological son will never suffer too much loss.As for Empress Wu succeeding herself as emperor, I'm sorry, Li Zhi didn't have that thought in his mind at all.

Throughout the ages, when did you hear that women can be emperors?How much power did Lu Zhi have during the Han Dynasty?She came from a wealthy family, Han Xin and the like were all killed by her, and no one dared to resist her until death.

Isn't the result a queen?No matter how much the queen wields power, she is only a queen, which is the consensus of everyone.

Li Zhi's attitude towards Empress Wu eased, but a scene of the empress and empress reuniting appeared again, which made many people stop trying to provoke the relationship between the two. Officials from Empress Wu's line were very happy with this development.

Li Xiruo knows that Empress Wu's future road is smooth when she arrives here, and she is only a short step away from succeeding to the throne as an unprecedented empress. Watching Wu Meiniang step by step from the talented person of the former emperor to today's step, Li Xiruo Knowing how much bitterness she has gone through, she couldn't help but sigh.

This queen is really not something that ordinary people can be. If someone else can live to this day, I can't say. Only those with a strong mind can persist until now.

After Li Zhi's death, Empress Wu called her Empress Dowager, and her third son, Li Xian, ascended the throne as emperor. Compared with his two older brothers, Li Xian was obviously even more useless. emperor.

Seeing the prince and emperor change one after another, Li Xiruo was dumbfounded, can you say that the future empress is really awesome?After giving birth to so many sons, the heirs were not satisfied, so they just changed one after another.

It's a pity that the future queen gave birth to so many children, and none of them satisfied her. After the two emperors Li Xiandan and Li Xiandan were abolished successively, the Empress Dowager Wu finally decided to become the emperor herself. up.

For a time, the whole world scolded the Empress Dowager Wu, and there were even some people who wanted to rebel against the Empress Dowager Wu, who was a disaster for the country. Unfortunately, since the Empress Dowager Wu wanted to proclaim herself emperor, she was well-prepared. After a lot of bloody suppression, the voice of opposition gradually disappear.

Empress Dowager Wu changed the name of the country to Zhou, established herself as emperor, and finally became the only empress in history.

After the empress became emperor, she relied heavily on Li Xiruo's trust. Her husband died and her two sons were abolished. Her mother also had a lot of resentment towards her because of her sister and niece. Her two brothers were cut off by herself. Now she is the real Alone.

The only people who can make her feel close are Li Xiruo and her beloved daughter Princess Taiping.

Li Xiruo made great contributions when Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor. The normally indifferent and unsullied Taishi Ling, who was fighting against the Confucian scholars in the court, can tell what he has done in his life just by looking at his face. Count all the wicked things in detail.

All the ministers who listened were sweating down their backs. After Li Xiruo beat five people in a row, no minister dared to stand up. After three years of clearing the magistrate, with a hundred thousand snowflakes, which minister would dare to stand up and say that I am not in this life. Greedy, haven't done anything wrong, and don't have any dark history?

No one really dared to say it so confidently, looking at the five officials whose history has been shaken off, two of them felt ashamed to see others again, and committed suicide on the spot.Think about that fate, who else is tired of doing it, stand up and seek death.

And the Taishi made Li Xiruo famous in this battle. At that time, Li Xiruo stood in the court hall in a white Taoist robe, and said: "You don't dare to stand up and say that you have no regrets. What qualifications do you have to criticize others?"

The image of Li Xiruo is so engraved in everyone's heart, everyone knows that Li Xiruo is not easy to mess with, and can see through your life at a glance, such skills are too scary, the queen has such a person by her side to assist , who can move her in the slightest?
This is also the reason why the queen confessed Li Xiruo as her ancestor. Li Xiruo's deterrent power is too great. If there is no Li Xiruo's tongue-in-cheek battle with the Confucians, maybe her journey to the queen will be more tortuous a little.

Those who have their own ghosts and are rebellious against the queen hide when they hear Li Xiruo's name. They dare not show their faces in front of Li Xiruo at all. Everyone dare not raise their heads when they see her. Xiruo actually got the title of being a coward.

Li Xiruo felt a pain in her heart when she recalled the past. At that time, her master had just passed away. Although she was forced to assist the queen, she finally recognized the queen and really regarded her as a bosom friend.

At that time, she had a good friend by her side. After the death of the empress, she moved Taishiling's mansion to the mountains. The fierce name did not dare to trouble her.

She also gradually withdrew from the eyes of the world, only hiding in the mountains.But that time was also when she was the loneliest. Not everyone can bear the loneliness of hundreds of years. It seems that she has lived for many years, but if it is possible, who would choose to live so alone?
Sometimes she even thought about dying early and forgetting about it, but when her life came to an end, she became anxious again, remembering that she had received such a great favor from Master, but she didn't pass on Master's mantle, let Master's mantle It's broken here.

Then when she went underground, how could she still have the face to see the master, and this is how she came back from the corpse later.What she didn't expect was that the resurrection made her feel the warmth of home again.

If Li Xi is not a person who gives her heart easily, it is the warmth of the Yao family that makes her gradually recognize these family members, but now, the family members that she recognized have ruined this family and ruined the family that she was looking forward to so hard. warmth.

She suddenly understood how sad she was suddenly when Wu Shunniang betrayed Empress Wu.
