Shangyang Palace, Lijing Deck.

Wu Zetian stood at the window, looking at the snowy scenery in the garden outside, and his mind was a little heavy.

When she woke up early in the morning, she looked in the mirror, but saw that she had a few more white hairs. After all, she was over 70 years old. Even if she paid attention to maintenance on weekdays, she still couldn't resist the erosion of time and grew old day by day.

Since Di Renjie passed away, the feeling of loneliness and powerlessness has become stronger and stronger.

Wu Zetian knew that his energy was not as good as before.

So, she began to plan for the future and pave the way for the crown prince Li Xian. She drove away Prime Minister Li Dan, hoping that Li Xian could control the center; she dismissed Yao Chong and Song Jing, hoping that Li Xian could give Li Xian the opportunity to recruit talents; she opposed the opposition and ordered Yang Shouwen to govern the western battle situation of Lingnan Road, hoping that she could inspire Yang Shouwen to grow rapidly and assist Li Xian.

One Yang Chenglie is far from enough.

Even if Yang Shouwen grows up, he is just a drop in the bucket.

Over the years, the Yang family has had too few talents, and there is almost no talent who can stand alone.

Therefore, Wu Zetian tried every means to lift Yang Zhirou up, but at present, Yang Zhirou can cure one way, but she has no ability to cure a country.

This also disappointed Wu Zetian more or less.

Under this feeling of disappointment and the fear of aging, Wu Zetian began to rely on the art of immortality.

In the first year of Chang'an, Hu monk Hong'an presented medicine, which made Wu Zetian very happy.

What a clever figure of Zhang Yizhi's brother, seeing this, immediately went to his preferences, recruited alchemists everywhere, and refined the elixir of immortality. Zhang Yizhi's delight and cleverness made Wu Zetian feel a little comforted. Since losing Di Renjie, she has no one in the court to entrust her, so Zhang Yizhi's appearance made her feel warm.

Originally, Wu Zetian wanted to use the two brothers Zhang.

But as her attitude towards Zhang Yizhi's brothers changed, she felt a little comfort and became even more indulgent to the two of them.

However, it is this indulgence that has attracted a lot of dissatisfaction.

If it were Wu Zetian in the past, she might not have cared about these many rumors. But now, she has become extremely sensitive.

The affairs of Li Chongrun and the others made Wu Zetian very angry.

However, to be honest, it was his own grandson after all, and the other was his grandson-in-law, so Wu Zetian didn't think about how to deal with them.

But Li Chongrun didn't know what medicine he took, so he even confronted him in court.

What a person is Wu Zetian?

How could I explain what I did to you children and grandchildren? Even God cannot judge right or wrong, but you contradict me in court? There was nothing big about it, but later it evolved into being out of control.

Of course, if the weather in Wu Ze disappears, there will be no obstacle.

But Zhang Yizhi and Li Chongrun have always had grudges. Li Chongrun looked down on the two brothers Zhang and often mocked the two in public; but Zhang Yizhi brothers felt that we were favored by your grandmother and were your elders, how could you disrespect us so much?

This resentment has always been accumulated into a lot, and it cannot be resolved in the end.

Therefore, after learning about Li Chongrun, Zhang Yizhi immediately ran to Wu Zetian, made some moves, and secretly provoked. Wu Zetian was not happy, and was stimulated by Zhang Yizhi's brothers and suddenly developed a strong murderous intent...

The wind in the middle of winter is cold.

Wu Zetian held the fence with his hands and looked at the view of the Lijing Deck.

She was very upset and could not calm down.

The year that is about to pass is so messy! The number of things that have happened makes her feel unsustainable.

If she had been before, she would never feel tired.

But now...

"Your Majesty, Miss Shangguan and Taoist Master Yiqing are asking for a meeting."

Outside the palace, the female official reported quietly.

Wu Zetian came to his senses, but frowned and said in a deep voice: "I am not asking Guer to walk out of Cuiyun Peak. She is so brave that she dares to disobey my will! Let them come in, it depends on what they are going to say."

As Princess Taiping said, Wu Zetian is very sensitive now.

If Guer came to plead with mercy, he might anger Wu Zetian on the spot and even kill him.

She turned back to the middle of the hall and sat down. After a while, she saw Shangguan Wan'er coming in with Bu'er.

"I am Shangguan Wan'er, pay homage to Your Majesty."

"I am happy to pay homage to Your Majesty."

After the two bowed and bowed, they did not hear Wu Zetian's voice.

Guer couldn't help but secretly complained that he was lucky. Fortunately, my aunt stopped me just now, otherwise I would have made my grandmother angry if I came.

"Guo'er, I ordered you to practice at Cuiyun Peak. You were not allowed to leave Cuiyun Peak without my will. Why did you come to Shangyang Palace?

Could it be that you don’t think I dare to punish you?”

After a long time, Wu Zetian's voice sounded and echoed in the palace.

Foer'er's heart trembled and she wanted to speak quickly.

However, before she could speak out, Shangguan Wan'er said first: "Your Majesty, this matter is not Guer's fault, but my negligence."

"oh?"

Wu Zetian frowned and looked at Shangguan Wan'er.

A coldness flashed in the phoenix eyes, and she said in a deep voice: "What did you ask her to do?"

"It's a letter from Lingnan Road!"

"Um?"

When Wu Zetian heard this, she immediately stood up.

The war in Lingnan Road did exhaust Wu Zetian. The war had lasted for half a year, and both had a great impact on the national strength of the court and Wu Zetian's reputation. At the beginning, Wu Zetian did not expect that the battle would take so long, and the group of natives in Annan would make such a big noise. She sent Yang Shouwen to Lingnan to take this opportunity to increase his qualifications to Yang Shouwen... But she did not expect that the war would be so anxious.

It is precisely because of the unfair war in Lingnan Road that Wu Zetian dared not act rashly.

Faced with the Turkic offensive, she could only focus on defending.

Now that he heard the Lingnan battle report, Wu Zetian was immediately excited.

Although she tried hard to keep calm, she still couldn't hide the expectation in the words, "What's wrong with the Lingnan War?"

"Report to Your Majesty, according to the war report from Lingnan, Yang Shouwen, the governor of Lingnan West Road, led his light cavalry to attack Jiaozhou and killed the thief chief Gan Meng."

After hearing this news, Wu Zetian felt inexplicably relaxed.

She sat down slowly, and after a while, she suddenly laughed.

"Qingzhi, it really does not disappoint my expectations."

"Now, the inspector Huan Yanfan and the Sima of Anyi Army Wang Yuangui each formed a group of troops to attack the rebels.

It is estimated that at this time, they have already met Qingzhi. If it goes well, I believe that the battle report will arrive soon."

"Okay! OK! OK!"

Wu Zetian couldn't help but praise her repeatedly, and then closed her eyes.

"The situation in Lingnan has stabilized, and I can finally save myself from worries.
Chapter completed!
