Shangguan Wan'er was really confused. She didn't know whether Wu Zetian was really crazy or fake.

The superiority of men and women has long been theorem throughout the ages. Not to mention a mere Wu Zetian, even if it is useless to add a piece to all emperors throughout the ages.

Besides, Confucianism has penetrated into every corner, both in the court and in the people.

As for scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, let alone these four classes. Confucianism firmly ruled the entire class and suppressed all other classes trying to challenge Confucianism from the highest level.

However, Confucianism is also smart. They do not completely suppress it, but give them hope and make them feel that by giving up their current identity, they can join them and become one of the noblest members of the Sailorian Shrine like them.

Let them look down on their own class first, which means that in the court, want to be an official? Yes, first become a member of the Shilin, and then you are qualified to be an official.

Not only that, Confucianism also suppressed women, summarized them with villains, and even created many rules and regulations for men to be superior to women, so that women cannot access books.

Of course, not all women, but most women.

It can be said that it is so hard and hard for a woman to sit on the Golden Dragon Chair step by step in such a background environment, which is unimaginable to others.

But Wu Zetian did it, but Wu Zetian did not give her any good reputation in later generations. Whenever the later people mentioned Wu Zetian, they would inevitably say that Zhou Wu was in chaos.

For them, being ruled by a woman is chaos.

That is the inverted world and inverted order of yin and yang.

Shangguan Wan'er hadn't spoken for a long time and looked at Wu Zetian blankly.

At this time, Wu Zetian was not only crazy, but also had a strong sense of fighting.

"Your Majesty really won't kill me?"

"I can't bear to kill you because you are a good pawn."

Wu Zetian admitted that she did have feelings for Shangguan Wan'er, but she would not control her decisions because of her feelings, but Shangguan Wan'er is indeed a very good chess piece.

When she was appointed as Shangguan Wan'er, she was actually a test of the government and the opposition. Even a false position with a reputation but no power had already caused shock to the government and the opposition.

If Wu Zetian had not tried his best to protect him at that time, the grave grass that Shangguan Wan'er would have died would have been two meters high.

"This is the honor of my servants."

Shangguan Wan'er does hate Wu Zetian, but it is not that pure. After all, for her, Wu Zetian is an object of admiration, an object that women in the world must admire. She did what every woman dared not think about or do.

And if there were no Wu Zetian, there would be no Shangguan Wan'er now.

The world's number one female official! The first female official to have a full position.

So, when Wu Zetian said her crazy purpose, Shangguan Wan'er was moved.

She really couldn't refuse this crazy plan, she wanted to be involved.

This is also the result that Wu Zetian hopes to get. Bai Chen once commented on Shangguan Wan'er, who is talented but not capable, but her identity can be used.

Just like Wu Zetian, the unique queen, Shangguan Wan'er is the unique female official, and this is her greatest value.

"Very good." Wu Zetian smiled satisfied: "You go find Di Renjie, and he will tell you what you are going to do."

"Your Majesty, Lord Di, too..."

Shangguan Wan'er immediately understood that if anyone in the government and the country would participate in this plan, then Di Renjie was the most likely one.

In addition to political and party factions, other court officials were also a firm Confucian scholar and a firm scholar.

But Di Renjie is different. He is not bound by any identity. He is a scholar, but a scholar is just a stepping stone to his entry into politics. Di Renjie is the person who knows how to adapt best.

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but feel relieved. With Di Renjie participating in it, the plan would be smoother, and it was just a few.

Even if there is Wu Zetian and Di Renjie, he is still just a mantis arm to be a chariot.

They are really too weak. Di Renjie now has a certain influence in the government and the country.

This influence comes from Di Renjie's political achievements and his identity as a minister of Dali Temple, but once their plans are exposed, they will all be in the torrent.

Shangguan Wan'er came to Dali Temple and found Di Renjie with the token given by Wu Zetian.

Di Renjie also received Wu Zetian's photos in advance and informed Shangguan Wan'er of some of the plans.

Neither Wu Zetian nor Di Renjie fully trusted Shangguan Wan'er.

This is also the guarantee they rely on for survival. The reason why Wu Zetian and Di Renjie can trust each other is just that there is an intermediary, Bai Chen's existence, allowing them to trust each other.

Moreover, Di Renjie has no ambitions, and he also has political intentions that he wants to achieve.

Leading all civil and military officials? What he wants is not this, at least not just this.

He wanted to do something earth-shaking, just like the ultimate ministers in Lingxiao Pavilion.

Even the world-class talents like Han Xin, Zhang Liang and Xiao He are as powerful as Han Xin, Zhang Liang and Xiao He, but there is no war now. Unless he wants to rebel, it is normal that it will not exceed their achievements.

But now Bai Chen has proposed a plan for him and Wu Zetian, a plan to overthrow the world.

If you lose, it is just a death-death way, but if you succeed, you will be successful and famous for your generation.

This is a temptation that no one can refuse. Di Renjie is also a plain person. Others seek wealth and power, but he seeks name.

The next day

The sky was still light, and the ministers were already gathered in the Golden Palace. Even though they had been doing so for decades, they were still happy.

For them, even if they don’t sleep, as long as they can stand here, express their ideas and influence the general trend of the world, it is worth it.

However, most of them were better than anyone else to recite poems and write them, but they didn't know how to govern the world.

The world they say is the world they govern.

For example, where there is a flood, they need disaster relief, and then they start asking for the opening of the national treasury to support disaster relief.

But do they really know how to provide disaster relief, or do they really want to provide disaster relief?

Every year, due to drought, flood, insect waste and other disasters in various places, the national treasury has to allocate at least one million yuan in silver, but less than one percent of the actual disaster relief is used.

Their concept is that after receiving the disaster relief funds, they will open a few porridge shops in the local area, and that's it.

As for how to resettle refugees and rebuild their homes, they don’t understand that it is the local officials’ business.

If the disaster victims cause trouble, it is the incompetent fault of the government. If they survive smoothly, it is their achievements in disaster relief.

The reason why the population of Li Tang's three hundred years of rule has not increased is largely because over the past three hundred years, there have been almost no major disasters, and hundreds of thousands of people die every year due to various disasters.

You should know that the Central Plains in this era had a population of less than 20 million and the number of victims of hundreds of thousands was already a very terrifying number.

A large part of this is starved to death. The Central Plains has always been mountainous thalaspora, and it is difficult to reclaim in many places. In addition, the successive sweeping of drought, flood and insect disasters have led to the inability to increase grain output.

As for how to increase farmers' output and make these civil officials who can only recite poems and write poems to find a way, it would be better to kill them directly.

However, today's court is a little different, because Shangguan Wan'er, who has almost never attended court, is actually at the end of all officials.

When Wu Zetian sat on the dragon throne, the ministers bowed their heads and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor."

"Everyone is calm." Wu Zetian waved his hand: "Is there any important matter today? If nothing happens, you will be disbanded."

In fact, there are basically no rigid regulations on what to do in the morning court. Occasionally, some trivial matters will be brought to the court for discussion.

So some court officials always come up with some inexplicable things and talk about them in the court.

After several groups of court officials finished speaking, it was already noon.

Wu Zetian, who was sitting on the dragon throne, felt a little bored.

It's not just today, but in fact I feel this way every day.

"But there are important things and news to be reported?"

Just when all the ministers thought that today's morning court had come to this point, Di Renjie, who had always cherished his words in the court, stood up and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Oh, Di Renjie, what do you want to report?" Wu Zetian asked lightly.

"I want to report to Li Shanqiu, Minister of Rites."

Everyone was immediately energetic, this was the rhythm of tearing.

It is said that Di Renjie and Li Shanqiu, the Minister of Rites, shouldn't have any grudges? Why did Di Renjie actually write this book on the spot?

Li Shanqiu's face turned red after being shocked.

"Di Renjie, what do you mean? Did I offend you?"

"Yes, Di Renjie, in the court and the country, all the civil and military officials are watching you, don't talk nonsense." After Wu Zetian finished speaking, she did not forget to appease Li Shanqiu: "Don't worry, Lord Li, if Di Renjie is unreasonable today, I will make the decision for you."

"Thank you Your Majesty." Li Shanqiu hurriedly replied to Xie Wu Zetian. Li Shanqiu was the Minister of Rites and had a lot of greasiness on his hands, but he never participated in politics. The party was in power and just wanted to make a fortune in silence, so he could live safely to this day.

In fact, Li Shanqiu himself wondered why Di Renjie suddenly fired at him.

Could it be that Wu Zetian secretly instructed?

A trace of vigilance flashed in Li Shanqiu's eyes, and the ministers in the court were also in thought.

What is Di Renjie going to do? What is he going to attack Li Shanqiu so openly? What is he going to do?

There are two types of people who are participating in the court. One is the censor. Their mission is to participate in the competition. Even Wu Zetian is on their list of entries, but their entries are all irrelevant.

Sometimes they even criticize and secretly praise them, such as a certain official who ignores his health and is diligent in government affairs, which exhausts his health and delays his government affairs.

They are the court officials with the least sense of existence and the court officials with the most sense of existence.

Another type is that there is a political party official, and the party officials participate in another political party official.

This is the most dangerous signal, just like the prelude to a war. (To be continued.)
