Confucius said: At fifteen years old, he was determined to learn. At thirty, he was able to stand up. At forty, he was not confused. At fifty, he knew the destiny of heaven. At sixty, his ears were obedient. At seventy, he could do whatever he wanted.
In ancient times, there were twenty ceremonies. Fifteen to twenty years old was the year of dancing elephants, and sixteen was considered adulthood.
Li Zhi was 14 years old this year. He was not an adult yet, so he did not leave. This party conference was to discuss the situation that Li Zhi, the party leader, might have to face after his resignation.
"Stand up. Greetings to the party leader." The three brothers of the Cheng family, the two brothers of the Fang family, Du He, Yuchi Baolin, Yuchi Baoqing, Yuchi Baochuan, the brother of Xiao Shuran, the son of Duke Xiao Yu of Song, Xiao Ling, the grandson of Li Jing, Li Yexu, Li Yesi, and Li Jingye of Li Ji's family.
For a time, the silkpants of the Great Tang, who usually wandered around and caused trouble, were all gathered in one place.
Sweeping his gaze over the silkpants who had yet to grow their hair, Li Zhi suddenly frowned."Hmm, why does it seem like we're still missing one person?”
The silkpants looked at each other and laughed. The little wimp Li Jingye winked." Our deputy party leader hasn't been feeling well recently. I don't know what's going on."”
Li Zhi glared at him, then shook his head and muttered,""That's not right. Could it be that her period is here? I remember that it will be some time later."
As he was speaking, he suddenly saw all the silkpants looking serious. Li Zhi was shocked and turned around in a carefree manner, shaking his head."Mei Niang, Mei Mei, Mei." Li Zhi's voice was filled with ecstasy as he looked at Li Ying.
She was 1.72 meters tall, radiant, and her eyes were bright. She was full of heroic spirit. She was dressed in a Tang court dress, revealing a large part of her snow-white skin. One could vaguely see her deep cleavage. She was definitely a stunner that would make any man fall for her. However, the most unforgettable thing was her sharp eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. No one dared to look at her directly.
The person in front of him was not Lady Xiao Shuran, but the woman Li Zhi had met four years ago and was looking for. She was Wu Zhao, Wu Meiniang, the Empress of the future generation, Wu Zetian.
Speaking of which, it was also a coincidence that Li Zhi met Wu Zetian.
Li Zhi had actually been looking for Wu Zetian and finally found out about it. However, to Li Zhi's surprise, the young Wu Zhao was already fourteen years old at that time and was preparing to enter the palace.
Li Zhi found Empress Zhangsun in time and said that he had taken a fancy to a woman. Although Empress Zhangsun made fun of him, Li Zhi still got what he wanted. The secret operation made Wu Zhao lose the election. Then, he begged Li Shimin to grant him the imperial edict to make Wu Zhao his concubine.
It had to be said that Li Shiming was very generous in this aspect. He wasn't angry at all when he found out that Empress Zhangsun and Li Zhi had secretly eliminated Wu Zhao. In fact, Li Shiming was very enthusiastic about this matter.
Usually, Li Shi Min would send some beautiful palace maids to his ministers and even his sons, so he even wanted to send a few more to Li Zhi, making Li Zhi, who was originally worried, not know what to say.
After the ceremony, Li Zhi brought Wu Zhao to see Li Shi Min, and seeing that Li Shi Min didn't have any feelings for Wu Zhao, he finally relaxed.
However, Li Zhi thought about it and agreed. Although Wu Zhao was outstanding and was given the name "Wu Mei Niang" by Li Shi Min, she was soon ignored. Wu Zetian had been a talented person for twelve years, but her status had never been promoted. It could be seen that for Wu Zhao, who was a " man of a woman," Li Shimin preferred the gentle, virtuous, and quiet Empress Zhangsun, as well as the favored Imperial Concubine Xu in the palace.
However, before Li Zhi could be happy that he had finally gotten his hands on the number one royal sister in history, Li Zhi also began to experience the power of this emperor-level royal sister. In the past four years, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang were like enemies. On and off, they fought and quarreled nonstop. However, it had to be said that in terms of ability, Wu Meiniang far surpassed him. The World Party was getting stronger and stronger in Wu Meiniang's hands.
However, Li Zhi was not afraid. Mao Taizu once said," Political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Li Zhi, who controlled the armed forces, financial resources, and personnel appointments in the hands of the World Party, boldly let Wu Meiniang do it.
"Mei Niang." This was the name Li Zhi got for Wu Zhao (plagiarized from Li Shimin)."Why are you here? You're home to visit your relatives. You're back so soon and didn't even inform me to give me a surprise." Li Zhi leaned forward with a thick face and shamelessly pulled Wu Mei Niang into his embrace.
Feeling the pressure from Wu Mei Niang's huge chest, Li Zhi smiled proudly.
Wu Meiniang glanced at Li Zhi and said coldly,"My dear husband, if I didn't come back earlier, I'm afraid your soul would have been seduced by Xiao Shuran. Don't forget the agreement I made with my husband.”
Li Zhi smiled bitterly and ignored everyone's doubts. He smiled at Wu Meiniang and said,"It's a party meeting now. Let's go back and talk.”
Hearing Li Zhi's words, Wu Mei Niang did not say anything else. She placed the documents in her hands on the long table in front of her and everyone sat down in batches.
Wu Meiniang was like a professional secretary. Her cold voice was concise and capable."First of all, let's talk about our Crown Prince. In the seventh year of Zhenguan, His Majesty intentionally distanced himself from him, but he had no intention of deposing him.
Especially in the 10th year of Zhenguan, I guessed that His Majesty had already begun to have the intention of deposing him. According to the intelligence, because of the first month of this year, His Majesty re-adjusted the enfeoffment of seventeen children as kings. In February, except for five people who did not go to their posts for the time being due to their young age, the other twelve people all issued an edict to move to the governor of each state, except for Li Tai, the king of Wei, who was the governor of Xiangzhou, and Zhang Liang took over the authority of the governor of Xiangzhou. Taizong kept Li Tai and his husband by his side, all of which contained the intention of deposing the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince could clearly see the Emperor's growing estrangement from him and his preference for Li Tai and his husband. He also understood that he had fallen out of favor and that the Crown Prince's position was in danger. Now, the Crown Prince not only had a bad reputation and was plagued by illness, but he also did not have the Emperor's trust and the support of the officials. He was in dire straits.”
Raising her head, Wu Meiniang looked at Li Zhi, who had his eyes closed, and then looked at the descendants of the various officials who her husband had played with since he was young. She made a bold guess with some disdain,"Presumably, at this time, His Highness the Crown Prince is at his wit's end and can only take the extreme path, and within these three years.”
Her words shocked the heavens. Apart from Li Zhi, everyone looked at Wu Meiniang. The youngest was Li Yesi, who was thirteen years old. The three Cheng brothers, who seemed boorish and unconstrained, were the same. They were born into such a political family and aristocratic family. Even if they were very young, they were much more shrewd than most adults in this era. Education and the environment were the most influential. At thirteen years old, even in the future, they would still be a student in the second or third grade. Moreover, Li Zhi had been intentionally or unintentionally nurturing these second-generation heirs since they were young.
"I agree with Mei Niang's point of view. Moreover, if big brother makes the first move, it will definitely be fourth brother. Hehe, compared to fourth brother, as the ninth son, I am much less of a threat. Moreover, I have been keeping a low profile in the outside world all these years.”Slowly opening his eyes, Li Zhi looked at the crowd with a playful tone.
"If my guess is correct, the throne will definitely fall into the hands of the Empress 'Di son, Prince Wei and Prince Jin.”Li Jingye's eyes lit up.
"My fourth brother is arrogant and has long wanted to fight for the throne. On the one hand, he was trying to replace the Crown Prince's eldest brother, but on the other hand, he did not know how to restrain himself. This caused dissatisfaction among the court officials. When the time comes, it will depend on everyone." Li Zhi shook his head slightly and smiled confidently.
"It's not easy to influence my old master.”Li Yexu was a little uncertain.
Wu Meiniang raised her head slightly and smiled confidently."The throne will definitely belong to my husband. If the Crown Prince was deposed, His Majesty must have intended to make King Tai of Wei the Crown Prince. However, as long as his fathers and grandfathers reminded him that if he insisted on making King Tai of Wei the Crown Prince, he must kill his lowly concubine's husband first. Otherwise, there would be chaos in the future. With the reputation and personality of the King of Wei, His Majesty would most likely believe him.”
"Is it that simple?" Fang clan's eldest son, Fang Yizhi, replied. Compared to his father, Fang Xuanling, Fang Yizhi was a little wooden and his planning was a little bad, but he was a loyal executor, his administrative ability was not bad, after some training, even though he could not become a sly old fox like his father who had held the position of minister for twenty years, he could still become a government official.
"Naturally, it won't be that simple. When the time comes, we'll still need my fourth brother to make some mistakes. Even if he doesn't make any mistakes, we'll create opportunities for him.”Li Zhi laughed.
"I heard that the relationship between the King of Wei and his teacher is not very good.”Like a fox who had stolen a chick, Wu Meiniang smiled very beautifully, but the words she said made everyone's hearts tremble.
With just a few words, he had analyzed the current situation clearly. The throne seemed to be right in front of the two of them, at their fingertips.
Li Zhi stood up and stretched.”
Everyone looked at each other and were excited. They stood up and roared,"Our era."
"We will firmly support all decisions that benefit the Great Tang Empire. We will follow all instructions that benefit the Great Tang Empire. We will firmly support all decisions that benefit the Great Tang Empire.”Everyone was chanting the Tianxia Party's constitution at the same time. They raised their heads and looked at the huge map behind Li Zhi-the world map.
