Chapter 2 From the past to the present, Bo Zhao's debate

Li Yanran took out a yellow apricot from her arms, wiped it on the corner of her clothes habitually, and bit off half of it in one bite.

"Bo Zhao, of course I know that as Emperor Hanwen's uncle, you want to tell my mother-in-law about Emperor Hanwen's murder of his own uncle.

But you have to know that His Majesty, Changsun Wuji, is trying to keep his position?"

"You don't wash those apricots either. If you eat them, you'll have a bad meal."

A glimmer of light flashed in the beautiful woman's eyes, and then she frowned again.

"This is all washed by Lao Li. It's very sweet. Do you want to try it?"

While Li Yanran was eating, she took out one from her side pocket and handed it over.

The beautiful woman shook her head. She just wanted to hear how far her daughter could understand: "If my mother doesn't eat, you should eat less. I would like to hear about the relationship between Bo Zhao and Changsun Wuji."

"Auntie, you eat while I talk."

While Li Yanran put the apricots into the hands of the beautiful woman, she learned the square steps in the play and took steps.

"The reason why Bo Zhao was killed by Emperor Wen of Han was because of two words: power and desire."

"The book says that power makes people crazy, and desire makes people lose their way. This was true for Bo Zhao in the past, and it is the same for Changsun Wuji now."

"Prime Minister Changsun Wuji seems to have unlimited glory and power, but precisely because of this, he will inevitably be feared by His Majesty."

Li Yanran paused for a moment, looked at the apricots in the beautiful woman's hands and said directly: "Mom, if you don't want to eat it, I won't say anything."

The beautiful woman was listening in a trance. When she heard Li Yanran's words, she subconsciously opened her mouth and bit the yellow apricot in her hand.

The sweet taste swept over her taste buds instantly, and the beautiful woman nodded.

Seeing his mother-in-law nodding, Li Yanran also smiled at the other party and said: "I'll just say it's delicious. It took Lao Li a long time to find this. It's just that the apricots are a bit small. It would be nice if they were bigger."

While eating the yellow apricot in her hand, the beautiful woman urged the other party to speak: "Speak quickly, my mother-in-law has something to do, and she will leave soon, but she can't stay here for too long."

"Things that are extreme must turn against each other, and great achievements shake the master. I am talking about Changsun Wuji. His existence has seriously affected His Majesty's power.

Today, His Majesty is an unparalleled hero, conquering the Turks externally, stabilizing the Hu states in the Western Regions, appointing talented people internally, and developing the economy, comparable to Emperor Taizong.

How could such a being allow Prime Minister Chang Sun to threaten the imperial power?

My daughter guessed that His Majesty would definitely take action against her, so I asked my father to break away from Changsun Wuji’s faction immediately to avoid being implicated in the future.”

Li Yanran summarized the language, thought about the evaluation of Li Zhi by later generations, and made a relatively moderate evaluation.

The beautiful woman's eyes flashed with light as she stared at Li Yanran and her nine-year-old daughter.

"Then why do you want to seek refuge with Empress Wu again?"

The beautiful woman finished the yellow apricot in one gulp, and Li Yanran wisely took out another one, wiped it on the corner of her clothes, and handed it over.

"Auntie, you are so stupid."

"Huh? Are you saying that I'm stupid? I'm going against you."

The beautiful woman frowned, grabbed her, and knocked Li Yanran directly on the forehead.

"Auntie, Yanran knows that she is wrong. Don't hit her. Don't hit her. It hurts."

"If you dare to say that my mother is stupid, I will serve you as a family. Your father always praises my mother for being extremely smart."

The beautiful woman was not really willing to fight, and she stopped when she heard Li Yanran begging for mercy.

"Aniang, it is not Empress Wu that we are seeking refuge with now, but His Majesty who is behind Empress Wu."

After Li Yanran escaped from the clutches of the devil, she took out another plum. She originally wanted to eat it herself, but when she saw that the beautiful woman had finished eating the yellow apricot in her hand, she gave it to her directly.

"I'm a little interested in this. You just mentioned Bo Zhao. He was forced to death by Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. Why did he get involved with Empress Wu?"

The beautiful woman grabbed the plum and took a bite. The juice splashed everywhere, while Li Yanran carefully helped her wipe the juice from the corners of her mouth.

"Auntie, it is because of Bo Zhao's mistakes that your Majesty will not take action against Prime Minister Changsun Wuji personally.

After all, no one wants to have the reputation of killing their uncle and be remembered for eternity.

Now everyone in the court is headed by Changsun Wuji, and the person your Majesty trusts the most is Empress Wu.

As long as His Majesty gives the support, Empress Wu will definitely take action against Changsun Wuji.

Therefore, to go to Empress Wu now is to go to His Majesty.

Although Empress Wu is now weak in power, she has the support of the imperial power behind her.

Moreover, Empress Wu is not comparable to ordinary women. Once she makes a move, she will definitely plow the court and clear the holes, and she is sure to win!

Now that my father has gone over there, it is a help in times of need, and the benefits he will get will definitely be far greater than Changsun Wuji's. This is called investment, investment, do you understand?"

After Li Yanran finished speaking, the beautiful woman's eyes were not only filled with surprise, but also had a chill that penetrated her bones.

"Yanran, are these really what you read in the book, or did you hear something, or someone revealed something.

This is related to the life of our family, so we must answer my mother truthfully."

Rumor?

information?

Can I say that this is what history tells me?

The beautiful woman was speechless for a long time, just staring at Li Yanran. The latter only felt that she was not facing her mother, but a colorful tiger.

No, it should be said that it is a beast that is a hundred times more terrifying than the tiger.

The intense fear made all the goosebumps on her body stand up.

"Ah... Grandma, don't look at me like that. I'm so scared. Yanran can't leave the house, and there are only so many servants in the house.

The only person who accompanies me every day is Lao Li, and there are no outsiders at all. I learned these things from books."

Li Yanran resisted the palpitations in her heart and defended herself to the beautiful woman. If it were any later, she was afraid that her mother would eat her mercilessly.

The beautiful woman's aura remained the same, she still stared at Li Yanran and asked: "Have you ever said these words to anyone besides my mother-in-law? Including Li Feng."

"No, although Yanran is young, she is not stupid. Talking about government affairs without authorization will lead to beheading. What's more, I am talking about the current His Majesty, how could I tell others."

Li Yanran shook her head firmly again.

If it weren't for her own wealth and life, she wouldn't say it to others, let alone you. It's not like she doesn't know the truth that disaster comes from words.

If you want to settle down in society, the most important word is stability.

And now the safest way is to hug Wu Zetian, the only empress in the ages, and the sun and the moon are shining in the lap of Wu Zhao.

After hearing this, the beautiful woman's expression softened, and she hugged Li Yanran into her arms.

He gently stroked her hair with his hand and said, "I will believe that you read and understood it from the book. I hope you won't lie to me, otherwise I will be angry."

"A...Aniang, Yan...Yanran will not lie to you. We are a family. The reason why I say this is for our family."

Even though the beautiful woman's expression softened, and even though the other party held her in his arms, Li Yanran was still a little frightened.

The beautiful woman looked at Li Yanran again, the coldness in her eyes was gone, and she was full of kindness.

"Then let me guess, little Yanran, what the current queen will do?"

"Ah... Grandma, can I not guess? You looked so scared just now. I dare not tell you."

Li Yanran really didn't dare to say anything this time. She was really scared. At that moment, she had some doubts about life.

Are all women in the Tang Dynasty so strong?

The aura of my mother just now, let alone a woman of power, even if she was said to be Wu Zhao and Wu Zetian, I would still believe it.

"Tell me, if Xiao Yanran doesn't tell me, how can I tell your father?

You just said that my mother is a bit stupid, this matter is of great importance and cannot be careless."

The beautiful woman showed a sweet smile, as if to say, be good, Old Zi Shu Daoshan, if you don't say anything, don't blame Old Zi for being angry.

"According to what the book says, if you want to deal with someone stronger than yourself, you must first paralyze the other person.

Then clip off the opponent's wings.

Create some more enemies for him, and then kill them with one blow when everything is ready."

"Keep talking, I'm listening."

As Li Yanran spoke, the beautiful woman's face changed one after another. When Li Yanran looked at her, she immediately changed into a loving motherly look.

"If I were Empress Wu, I would first let Changsun Wuji temporarily compile the history of the Tang Dynasty.

Then the men and horses of Changsun Wuji's lineage were cut off one by one.

Changsun Wuji has been in power for so many years, so he will inevitably have many political opponents. He will intimidate the court and opponents will not dare to take the lead.

However, once he compiles the history of the Tang Dynasty, dissatisfied people will inevitably appear. At this time, he only needs to attract some opponents.

Finally, I found the flaw and gave Changsun Wuji a fatal blow."

Of course, Li Yanran did not tell the story of Wu Zetian instructing Xu Jingzong to frame Changsun Wuji for rebellion through the Wei Jifang crony case.

Some things can be said, and some things cannot be said, otherwise a bowl of Meng Po soup will be waiting for her.
