In Luoyang City, during the time when Qin Shaoyou left, earth-shaking changes had already taken place.

Since Di Renjie entered the capital, and the court's structure has changed drastically. To a certain extent, Di Renjie's entry into the capital can be regarded as a signal, and what happened next is even more incredible.

Just when Qin Shaoyou was still in Changping, Wu Zetian suddenly said in Xuanzheng Hall: "I am old."

These four short words may be just a simple Wu Zetian lamenting that time has passed, or...

The faces of the ministers of the three provinces in the hall were meaningful. Cui Feng was actually the most leisurely and at any time he was calm. This was actually related to his status. He was different from others. Others could stabilize their status by clinging to a tree, but with his identity, there was no need to cause any trouble.

As for Yang Zaisi, it was different. The Zhang brothers collapsed, and the wall fell and everyone pushed him. Yang Zaisi tried harder. There was no way. He was usually too close to the Zhang brothers. Since the Zhang brothers were involved in treason, if he did not make any decisions, cut off this relationship and turned the tables, wouldn’t this be a death?

Now that the big tree has fallen, grandma doesn't love my uncle or love him, his status is gradually becoming less stable, so he has to keep his mind on His Majesty's every move. So at this moment, he immediately made a thoughtful look, and couldn't help but wonder why Your Majesty said such things? When people get old... they will die, but it's nothing to die. Who in this world is not born, old, sick and death? But the problem is that Wu Zetian is the emperor. When the emperor says he is old, is it... he who wants to establish a crown prince?

When Yang Zaisi thought of this, he was on guard. The establishment of a crown prince was a huge thing for the current Great Zhou Dynasty. The problem with this matter was that there were too many people who had the opportunity to attack the reserve position. This was not like other times, other times. The only thing he considered was the establishment of a legitimate and was the chief. At most, there was a wise prince, which might also impact the reserve position of the eldest son. Or, if there was an emperor's love, he was a little sure, but after all the toss and struggles, it was easy to solve just a few people.

But the problem now is that the current situation involves two families. To put it in general, these two families are both the Li family and the Wu family. They are also the competition between the upstarts and the old nobles. If it is too big, it is the power struggle between the Guanlong clan and the Guandong nobles. No matter what position you take and please one side, you may completely offend the other side. You may offend not a prince, but a clan. Even hundreds or thousands of nobles and officials, this is not a fun thing. This is a matter of losing your head.

So Yang Zaisi sat down, silently sighing, sighing at Wu Zetian and Earth, turning a deaf ear to him.

Many people seem to feel the taboos in this matter. Whether they are inclined to the Li family or the Wu family, they dare not express their opinions easily. After all,... who is inclined to be a question, but you can't make the trick of rolling up your sleeves and playing the life-and-death trick. Everyone is the top important officials in the court, with all kinds of wealth and honor. Why bother to be a "hero" who holds his head and puts it on his belt?

In the past, everyone would remain silent, but today there was an extra variable.

Di Renjie frowned and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, why did you say this?"

Wu Zetian looked at him calmly and said, "Oh, I just sighed. I thought that I was old, but the affairs of the court were as numerous as a cow. I was worried that I would not have a virtuous king in a hundred years and that the people would be devastated. Di Qing, you have always been upright, but I want to ask you, King Wu of Liang is loyal and honest, can he be made the crown prince?"

This sudden sentence really scared everyone.

Why does Your Majesty want to make Wu Sansi?

Just when everyone was not aware of it, Di Renjie said seriously: "Your Majesty, I think... this matter must not be done."

Wu Zetian frowned: "Why is this?"

Di Renjie raised his eyes and said loudly: "I think everyone in the world still misses the Tang Dynasty. If the prince is established, it is necessary for King Luling. Your Majesty said a few days ago that he dreamed that he could not win chess with others, so I couldn't help but think that he could not win chess. Isn't this because he has no son? This is God's will to warn Your Majesty. The prince is the foundation of the world. Once the fundamental moves, the world will be in danger. Your Majesty wants to establish King Liang Wu Sansi, but I dare to ask, who is closer to the aunt and nephew or mother and son? If you establish King Luling, you can be worthy of enjoying the ancestral temple after you have been in the future. If you establish Sansi, you have never heard of someone who is worthy of enjoying the ancestral temple?"

Wu Zetian just sneered and said, "Is Di Qing meddling in other people's business?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and many people had no expression on their faces, but many were anxious like hot pan ants. At this time, they suddenly realized that this was a crucial thing for the world. At this critical moment, no one dared to touch the scale. The only one who was willing to speak was Di Renjie. So many people placed their hope on Di Renjie, staring at Di Renjie with countless eyes, motionless.

Di Renjie did not look frightened after hearing this, but instead shed tears in his eyes, saying, "I have received the grace of the holy people and assumed a confidential position. I always think secretly about what I am good and what I can do to win the favor of Your Majesty. My talent is not as good as the princes in the palace. So I suddenly understand that what Your Majesty is not the talent of your Majesty, but the integrity of your Majesty. Today, I must talk about this matter. The matter of the crown prince involves both the country and the affairs behind Your Majesty. Since I am a doctor at the disciple, how can I say that I am meddling in other people's affairs?"

His voice choked: "So I dared to tell the truth. There is no official in all counties in the world, and all the officials miss Li Tang. They all hope that Your Majesty can make King Luling the crown prince. Their thought was not because they opposed Your Majesty, but since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the country and the people have been peaceful. In their eyes, Your Majesty is the emperor of Li Tang. Your Majesty is a virtuous king of the Li family. Why do you want to pass the position of the emperor to someone of another surname? Some of my words may be a ruthless person, but I would rather give your Majesty a condemnation to your Majesty for the crime of death..."

In these words, both hard and soft are combined, and there is also the preparation for death at any time.

Wu Zetian looked at Di Renjie deeply, but didn't know what he thought.

But when others saw this Di Gong, they couldn't help but admire him. This was really a life-threatening thing. If you dare to say such words, it would be a rebellion, and it would be a serious crime to kill the clan.

Di Renjie then said seriously: "Even if Your Majesty will not punish me for death, if Your Majesty makes Wu Sansi the crown prince, I would rather steal the land with my head, and blood will be splattered in this palace."

Wu Zetian's face became colder, staring at Di Renjie tightly, biting his lower lip, his face as if he was ashamed: "I treat you so well, how dare you say such things?"

Di Renjie deducted his head: "What I say is worthy of my heart."

"Hmph!" Wu Zetian rose up and stared at Di Renjie viciously. Just as everyone was worried about Di Renjie, Wu Zetian laughed and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I will return the crown prince to you."

Everyone was stunned, and they didn't know what Wu Zetian said meant.

But Wu Zetian said, "Come out and meet your ministers."

As he was talking, someone was walking over from the side hall. The man seemed to have doubts, and he looked frightened. His pace was very slow. Once he arrived in the hall, he didn't dare to look at Wu Zetian, but he fell to the ground: "My son, Li Xian, have seen Your Majesty."

Everyone looked at it and carefully looked at this contemptuous person, but who was not Li Xian, the King of Luling?

Today, the son gave birth to four sons, Li Hong, the eldest son, who was originally the crown prince, but died suddenly. After Li Hong's death, the second son Li Xian succeeded him. During his tenure as the crown prince, he was repeatedly reigned and praised inside and outside the court and the country, but soon, he was forced to commit suicide for his crime of rebellion. As for the third and fourth sons, Li Xian and Li Dan.

Li Xian is the third son, and Li Dan is the fourth son. Now His Majesty has brought Li Xian, which shocked everyone.

When Di Renjie saw this, he was overjoyed and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty...My..."

Wu Zetian said decisively: "Don't say anything more. You want the crown prince. I have found the crown prince for you. Why, do you have something to say?"

Di Renjie glanced at Li Xian who was frightened, but couldn't help but say, "I don't know when the crown prince arrived?"

Originally, Wu Zetian did not officially enthrone Li Xian as the crown prince, but since Wu Zetian said that he would return the crown prince to you just now, Di Renjie was also a smart person, so he simply "just be wrong."

Wu Zetian said: "I secretly ordered him to enter the capital a few days ago. He arrived last night and lived in the palace temporarily. Why, Di Qing seems to have something to say?"

Di Renjie said excitedly: "The prince is back, no one knows it yet. People are talking about it. How can people believe it? Your Majesty should let the prince live in Longmen and welcome back to the palace according to etiquette. In this way, all the civil and military officials in the court will praise Your Majesty's wiseness."

He insisted on confirming the position of Prince Luling, so he refused to let Li Xian come back without permission, no matter what, and did not want to do so.

But when Li Xian heard this, he was anxious and shook his hand, saying with great slight silence: "No...no...I...I...I...I..." When he said this, he lost his words. He was so scared that he sweated all over his body, with his head hanging down, looking at his boots, and his body shivered.

Di Renjie said seriously: "The so-called reputation is just right and can speak according to words. This is true for the crown princes of all dynasties. How can the crown princes be simple and slow? Your Majesty, I am also trying to eliminate the leisurely mouths of the people in the world."

Wu Zetian waved his hand: "Stop... just do what Di Qing said!"
