Chapter 151 Burning books to cheat your father

After Wu Zhao's death, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty was restored. With the support of all ministers, Zhongzong Li Xian ascended the throne again.

However, even if there is no mother Wu Zhao above his head this time who is afraid to the core, Li Xian still cannot change his cowardly character. He still cannot make the decision in this huge empire. He is still like a puppet, being controlled by his wife, Queen Wei, and his sister. Princess Changping fidgeted back and forth, not daring to resist.

In addition, after Wu Zhao's death, the Wu clan forces in the court were not eradicated in time... The three forces sometimes fought for power and sometimes cooperated for win-win results, causing the government to be filled with chaos.

In this chaos, Zhou Ming, who once again landed on the mainland, entered the Imperial Capital of Zhou Dynasty, and lived in Princess Changping's mansion, had two main purposes.

One, the female officials who previously assisted Wu Zhao, such as Shangguan Yu'er, Xie Yaohuan, Lu Lingxuan, etc., all had a relationship with Zhou Ming during the seven years he was trapped in the imperial capital, and they all gave birth to children for him. Women, Zhou Ming returned to the Imperial Capital this time just to take these women and children away from the whirlpool of power in the Imperial Capital.

Shangguan Yu'er and others burst into tears when they saw their lover they hadn't seen for many years returning from overseas specifically to take him out of the palace. They packed their bags, took their children and grandchildren, and went overseas with him... And that overseas Wenguo, they Many people have heard that it is a magical place of freedom. They have stayed in this palace all year round and lived a cautious and cautious life. They also want to see the outside world, breathe fresh air, and go away from the blood in the palace.

The second one, Princess Changping, who already controlled half of the power in the court, wrote him a letter saying that she wanted to make a deal with him. The specific content of the deal surprised Zhou Ming.

"Princess Changping, do you also want to be that empress and ascend the throne?"

It turned out that after knowing that Zhou Ming had an invincible army equipped with magical weapons, Li Changping also had some thoughts and wanted to ask him to borrow troops to help her sit in that position and become the second queen.

"My queen mother can be the emperor, why can't I? Tian Zihua, if you are willing to help me, I will make our son Li Wei the prince, and he will inherit the throne after my death. How about this?"

Princess Changping said that what she lacks most now is the support of the army. If Zhou Ming agrees to help her, she is 100% sure that she can break the three-legged situation in the court and defeat all the opposition forces with force. , she can also be enthroned as emperor just like her mother, Empress Wu Zhao.

And her son Li Wei is the biggest bargaining chip in her hands to persuade Zhou Ming. This son, who was born after the two had a happy night, showed intelligence far beyond the other children as soon as he was born. He has a photographic memory since he was a child. Neng has a stern personality and is born with supernatural powers. When he was eleven years old, he beat up his older brothers who often bullied him and were half a round older than him. When he was sixteen years old, no one in the entire princess mansion dared to offend him. I hate and fear, but there is nothing I can do.

Princess Changping didn't know whether it was because the Hehuan Powder was too powerful. After he was born, his son could only be described as "fierce". Moreover, he looked like a tiger, and he was not angry and powerful. When a traveling Taoist priest saw him, he exclaimed: "The appearance of a dragon and a tiger is beyond words!" After that, Princess Changping fell in love with her and poured maternal love into this son, which far exceeded that of other sons. He took his own surname and took the name "Wei".

Zhou Ming shook his head and said: "You can't do it. You can't compare to your mother Wu Zhao. A queen is the bottom line of people's hearts. If there is another queen, I'm afraid the whole world will rebel... You should understand the psychology of men, any man , can't accept it, two women in a row are giving orders to him. Think again about your mother, who killed so many people and only ascended the throne at the age of 67. When she was seriously ill, she was ousted by her trusted ministers. , do you think you can overcome resistance greater than your mother's?"

"Why not? Lend me all the army in your hand, and kill anyone who refuses to accept it! If you kill them all, no one will dare to oppose me?"

Li Changping, who was poured with a large basin of cold water, glared at Zhou Ming angrily.

"If you insist on going against nature like this, I won't lend you a single soldier." Zhou Ming shook his head. The stubbornness and willfulness of some women is an unsolvable problem.

"you--"

Li Changping pointed at him and said angrily that I could do it without your help, but his attitude softened. He rolled his eyes slyly and suddenly came up with an idea. He called his 23-year-old son Li Wei over and called The father and son recognized each other... A few days later, after a lot of confusion, Li Changping said to Zhou Ming on the pillow: "Friend, you only need to lend me thousands of heavenly soldiers, and the world of Zhou belongs to our family. , why do you need to take care of other people's feelings? I am the empress, you are the overseas literary emperor, our son will inherit our world, isn't this the way of God's arrangement?"

Speaking of this, Li Changping, who was already flushed, was even more flushed, and he was so excited that he couldn't contain himself.

Zhou Ming pushed her away and sat down to think for a while. He felt that his son Li Wei was calm, intelligent, courageous, and behaved like a superior. His knowledge was higher than that of ordinary people. He was the material to do great things... After thinking about it, he said to Princess Changping: "I will lend you a thousand musketeers, but only for five years. During these five years, you try to help Li Wei ascend to power. After five years, I will not care about anything. "

Zhou Ming did not dare to lend too many musketeers to this woman, fearing that she would accidentally make a big news, cause chaos in the world, and trigger the system's punishment mechanism, then he would be finished.

"well!"

Princess Changping was overjoyed, kissed him several times on the face, then moved her face down, and bit him for him.

In the following five years, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty experienced frequent changes and bloodshed.

First, in the third year of Shenlong, Prince Li Chongjun's coup killed Wu Sansi and others. Taking this opportunity, Empress Wei and Princess Changping worked together to cleanse the Wu family's forces in the court. The situation of the three pillars in the court became evenly matched. However, Princess Changping pretended to cater to Empress Wei, saying that she supported her as emperor, and Empress Wei also needed her support, and the two factions lived in peace.

In the fourth year of Jinglong, Zhongzong Li Xian died violently, and the cause of his death was highly controversial. On the 18th day after Zhongzong's death, when Empress Wei ordered her ministers to write a petition of persuasion and prepare to ascend the throne, Princess Changping and King Li Long of Linzi came to Wei. On the pretext of poisoning the first emperor to death, he jointly launched a military coup, killed Queen Wei and Princess Anle, and wiped out all the forces of Queen Wei in the court.

At this point, only Princess Changping and Linzi King Li Long, who had a lot of military power and an elite "ten thousand cavalry" under his command, were the last two forces competing for the fruits of victory.

Eight days later, Linzi King Li Long took the lead and sent more than 10,000 troops to besiege Princess Changping's palace... Li Long, who thought he would succeed after taking this last step, was about to be crowned emperor in the Taiji Hall when suddenly something happened outside the hall. There was a sound of "bang bang bang", and a general covered in blood came in and reported: "Your Majesty, all the ten thousand cavalry that besieged the palace have been wiped out. Princess Changping has come with her soldiers and horses to kill!"

"What?!"

Li Long, who was only half-dressed in the dragon robe, immediately took off the dragon robe, threw it aside, and fled in a hurry with the remaining subordinates. However, he was killed by his subordinates on the way. The subordinates took his head and exchanged it with the Empress Dowager Changping. One hundred thousand taels of gold.

With the help of a thousand musketeers, the final obstacle was cleared, and her son Li Wei was promoted to the throne, allowing him to enter the Li Zhou royal family genealogy. After receiving the support of most officials, it was justifiable that the Empress Dowager Chang Ping became the master of the artifact of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Once you get it, your dream finally comes true.

It was impossible for Princess Changping, who was sitting on the throne of the Queen Mother at this time, to say that she had no desire or impulse to become emperor at all. However, she still listened to the man's advice and did not take that risky step.

She thought to herself: Anyway, this world belongs to her son, and what belongs to her son is hers. Wei'er is still young and is still very unfamiliar with some government affairs. This world still needs her, the Queen Mother, to help and look after it for a few years. , when Will grows up, it won't be too late to return the power to him...

It turned out that what Li Changping had in mind was the idea of ​​proclaiming the imperial court, taking over the throne as a substitute, and using the empress dowager's honor to manage the world for his son Li Wei for a few years.

However, Li Changping still underestimated his son Li Wei too much, and also far underestimated his growth rate. Less than half a year after she came to the throne, the 1,000-man musketeer force had grown up less than half a year after leaving the imperial capital. Five days later, an army that came out of nowhere suddenly appeared in her bedroom and put the Queen Mother under house arrest on the grounds that she was ill.

In the following years, the Empress Dowager Changping, who was imprisoned in the palace, was stunned to see that her son Li Wei first vigorously organized the troops and formed a Tianjie Army of 100,000 people, and then led this army , with the power of thunder, in just a few months, he suppressed several rebellions in the country. He wiped out all the rebels and killed no one alive.

After stabilizing the situation in the country, the new emperor Li Wei once again showed his great talents and strategies. He used people properly, had clear rewards and punishments, and was civilized and military. He established the organization in less than four years. An elite army of 500,000 people, equipped with a large number of firearms, personally led the Western Expedition, first annihilating the Tufan and Turkic countries, and then fought thousands of miles westward, destroying the Fire Worship Empire and the Black-clothed Great Empire. Food, even hit the Red Sea Desert at one point, destroyed countless countries along the way, occupied a large territory along the way, and finally returned to the Imperial Capital of Zhongzhou with countless treasures and prisoners, as well as hundreds of thousands of generals and soldiers who fanatically supported him.

Zhou Ming, who was far away in Wenguo overseas, noticed that this young son who became the emperor seized power and took charge of the government within half a year. In five years, he led an army and opened up a land of more than five million square kilometers. He was ambitious and ambitious. , even when there was a trend and action to rule the entire world, Zhou Ming secretly sighed in surprise: This son, he has never taught him for a day, but his talent, especially the talent of the upper king, surpasses his brothers and sisters How many are they.

At the same time, Zhou Ming was also very happy in his heart. The higher the achievements of this son, the more benefits he would bring to him, because in the scoring rules of the system: although the achievements of the player's descendants will not be included in the player's achievements, the player's There are also certain extra points, and the higher the achievement of the offspring, the more extra points the player gets.

but……

Not long after, Zhou Ming stopped laughing and even stamped his feet angrily, wanting to kill someone.

It turned out that not long after Li Wei led his army back to the imperial capital, he did not know why he had listened to the slanderous words of the minister Jinxian, so he aimed his knife at his father's Zihua Bookstore, and issued a book burning order across the country: to completely eradicate the country. His Zihua Bookstore burned all the demon books that confuse people's hearts, and asked the common people to hand over all the demon books in their hands. If they were found to be in the hands of those who still kept those demon books, once they were found, they would be executed without mercy!

Therefore, under the coercion of the butcher's knife, in just three months, the book-burning order was implemented very thoroughly in ten states across the country. More than 3,000 Zihua Bookstores were closed, and more than 5,000 bookstore managers and printing plants were closed. The head of the person in charge was displayed in public, and more than 10,000 innocent people who had collected "demon books" were also beheaded, and their heads were still rolling in silence.

In just a few months, Zhou Ming's more than 40 years of hard work and layout were destroyed in one day. Tens of millions of volumes of "Zihua Collected Works", "Comics", "Science" and other magazines were burned, and flames shot into the sky. , thick smoke billowed, and the essence of countless thoughts turned into ashes all over the sky in pits of fire one after another in the ten states of the world.

Looking at the damage report in his hand, Zhou Ming felt distressed and smiled bitterly: "Li Wei, Li Wei, it seems that you want to be the second emperor. You can even do things like burning books and cheating your father..."
