The incident of deposing Wang Liwu was not only a dispute over the harem, but also a challenge that Li Zhi and Empress Wu joined forces to challenge the old forces in the court and the aristocratic families.
In the end, Li Zhi won. At the end of the incident, whether the courtiers agreed with Li Zhi's approach or not, in short, Li Zhi's goal was achieved.
Empress Wang was hanged, the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang were exiled, the power in the court underwent a major reshuffle, Li Zhi consolidated the imperial power, and Empress Wu obtained the position of queen.
The winner has unlimited glory, and everyone's eyes are looking up to the winner.
But few people see the plight of the innocent people affected.
The two princesses of Yiyang and Xuancheng were imprisoned in Yeting and disappeared in the palace.
The only thing left for them was the title of princess. It was not that Empress Wu was kind, but that it was not timely.
No one cared about the situation of the two princesses, not even their biological father Li Zhi.
The three emperors of the Tang Dynasty were all proud of Qing Shi in terms of their civil and martial arts, but none of them were competent fathers. From Li Yuan, to Li Shimin, and now Li Zhi.
I don’t know if it was because of the Hu people’s ancestry, but the three generations of emperors of the Li family seemed to have a nurturing education for their children. Whether the children killed each other or were in bad luck, in short, he only saw the best in his eyes, and the rest.
They are all just losers.
Sitting in the golden palace, they are heroic and wise kings who look down upon the world, but when they return to the harem, they are the most failed fathers. Their family relationship is cold, and this is especially true in the Tian family.
The two princesses currently trapped in Yeting are the burial objects of the failed brutal battle in the harem.
As the biological brother of the two princesses, Li Sujie felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw his two sisters being treated like this. However, there was nothing he could do.
If not for Li Qinzai's sect, Li Sujie might not even be able to protect herself. Empress Wu has now secured her position as queen. It is hard to say when she will take action against Concubine Xiao Shu's children. Eliminating the roots is what all victors must do.
"Sister, you have suffered so much. I am sorry that I am incompetent and cannot help my sister get out of jail." Li Sujie knelt down in front of the two princesses and cried loudly.
Princess Yiyang's face was sallow, and her cheekbones were bulging due to long-term hunger, but her eyes were still full of energy, like the dark light shining stubbornly through the cracks.
"Sujie, please leave quickly. This place is not auspicious and it is not the place you should come."
Li Sujie cried: "My sister is trapped in Yeting and suffering, but I am enjoying my glory outside. How can I be embarrassed?"
Princess Yiyang forced a smile and said: "You and I are lucky enough to be alive. Enjoyment and suffering are not important to us."
The proclaimed princess on the side whispered: "Brother, please leave quickly. It is unfortunate for our sisters to end up in Yeting. You are the prince, so don't be implicated. It is unwise for you to come to Yeting today. Don't come here again."
Princess Yiyang suddenly asked in confusion: "Sujie, you were studying under Uncle Li County, why did you suddenly come to Yeting to see us?"
Li Sujie choked up and said: "I received a letter from Li Zhong, the king of Liang, the day before yesterday. He was demoted from Chang'an and assigned to Liangzhou. The two sisters used to be taken care of secretly by him. Now that Li Zhong has left Beijing, the two sisters are still in the huge Tai Chi Palace.
Who can I rely on? So here I am.”
Pointing to the door of the palace, Li Sujie said: "I brought food and clothing to my sister. I also took care of the eunuchs in Yeting. I hope they will treat my sister well."
Princess Yiyang seemed to be eager to send him away, and said perfunctorily: "Okay, we will accept the things. You can leave quickly. Don't let outsiders see you coming here, otherwise it will be a big disaster."
But Li Sujie couldn't bear to leave, so she took out a black lacquer food box from the burden outside the palace, took out a plate of cakes, knelt on her knees in front of the two princesses, and handed the cakes to Princess Yiyang's mouth with tears in her eyes.
"My mother and concubine have passed away. Sujie should treat my two sisters as my mother. I don't seek glory and wealth in this life, but I hope to depend on each other and die together with my two sisters."
Yiyang and Xuancheng were moved to tears, and the three siblings hugged each other and cried.
After venting their frustration, Yiyang and Xuancheng took the cakes from Li Sujie and started eating them.
The two princesses have a graceful temperament, but their eating looks are quite indecent. They almost wolfed down a piece of pastry in the blink of an eye.
Li Sujie saw this and became even more heartbroken.
From this scene alone, we can know how the two ladies lived in Yeting. Looking at their emaciated bodies, one can tell how much hunger and cold they suffered.
The harem fights, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Why do you punish two innocent women? How unfair is God.
"Sister, please live in peace. I will go out and rescue you right away!" Li Sujie cried.
Yiyang was shocked and said: "No! Sujie, don't be confused. The Queen is waiting for the opportunity to get rid of us. If you come to rescue us, wouldn't you be reminding her to attack us? Not only our sisters' lives are in danger, but also yours."
will be implicated."
Li Sujie gritted her teeth and said: "Don't worry, sister, I am not a reckless person. Now I have become a disciple of Mr. Li. Mr. Li is a rare genius with a deep chest and a good plan. If I ask him, he will definitely help me."
"
Yiyang said angrily: "Why are you so stubborn! How many innocent people have to be involved before you are willing to do it? Even my father is indifferent to us, so why does Mr. Li help you? Put your mentor in danger,
Is this what a disciple should do?"
Li Sujie was stunned for a long time, then sat on the ground and cried loudly.
Princess Yiyang said sternly: "Go quickly! Don't come to Yeting in the future, I don't want to see you!"

British government.
Liu Asi has already helped Li Qinzai pack his luggage and is ready to return to Ganjingzhuang.
Li Qinzai went to the study to say goodbye to Li Ji. When he came to the door of the study, Li Qinzai glanced at the open space in the yard and suddenly found a new peony planted in the open space.
Li Qinzai's eyes lit up, and he immediately planned to take off his pants and give the peony a greeting gift, but was stopped by Li Ji who heard the sound, and then Li Ji looked frightened.
Fortunately, I have good ears and eyesight, otherwise this peony, which I haven't even had time to name yet, would have been poisoned by an evil beast again...
"Get out! Get out without stopping!" Li Ji picked up a garden hoe in the open space and pointed it at him.
Li Qinzai looked at him aggrievedly.
It is said that as people get older, they care more about family ties, but this person in front of me seems to be different.
The hoe was in the hands of the loving ancestor, and it was swung on the body of the evil grandson.
Your grandson is about to leave, why don't you show your reluctance to leave him?
"Go back to Ganjing Village to settle down, and don't cause trouble for me, otherwise I will personally go to Zhuangzi and chop you up!" After Li Ji said this, he drove him out of the yard.
Li Qinzai reluctantly held on to the fence and shouted loudly from across the courtyard: "Grandpa, my grandson will come to see you during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Please plant flowers well. If you need fertilizer, just ask..."
"roll!"
A handful of sand was thrown all over Li Qinzai's face.
I don’t know what Li Ji thought, but Li Qinzai was still reluctant to leave when he left.
As soon as I reached the gate of the Duke's Mansion and was about to board the carriage, a servant in green clothes came forward to greet me.
"I want to pay my respects to Mr. Li. Mrs. Korea has invited me. I also hope that Mr. Li will spare the time to accompany me."
Li Qinzai was stunned and immediately said: "No, I'm not familiar with the Korean lady."
