Chapter 153: Earth-shattering

Wu Zetian's smile faded, and she said solemnly:

"To be honest, sir, I want to rule the Tang Dynasty!"

Chen Qilin said:

"Empress Wu, aren't you already ruling the Tang Dynasty?"

"Sir... What I mean is that I want to be the empress of the Tang Dynasty!" Wu Zetian said domineeringly.

This was a shocking statement.

Originally, Wu Zetian thought that sir would be shocked when he learned of her ambition.

However, Chen Qilin was not surprised by her words.

He did not respond, but just looked at Wu Zetian quietly.

In Chinese history, Wu Zetian was an unprecedented empress. She overthrew the Tang Dynasty, but created the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty with her own hands.

She rewrote the destiny, but in the end she had to compromise with fate.

In the long history of China, although there are many women who hold real power, there is no second person who can obtain the orthodox throne as a woman like Wu Zetian.

She is history and legend.

Wu Zetian's ability to sit on the throne is inseparable from her own talents.

First of all, Wu Zetian's methods were steady, accurate and ruthless.

Wu Zetian once said, "I can control it (the unruly and fierce horse), but I need three things, one iron whip, two iron clubs, and three daggers.

If it doesn't obey after being beaten with the iron whip, I will use the iron club on its head. If it still doesn't obey, I will use the dagger to cut its throat.

There are talented people left in the wild, and it is the fault of the prime minister."

At the beginning, Emperor Gaozong wanted to depose Queen Wang and make Wu Zetian the queen, but was opposed by the prime minister group.

Gaozong's uncle Changsun Wuji and the ministers who opposed him were all demoted and exiled because of these things, and finally forced to commit suicide by Wu Zetian and killed them all.

Wu Zetian's most common method of dealing with those who opposed him was "killing, demoting, and exiling", and she did it steadily, accurately and ruthlessly every time.

Later, there was no one in the court to stop her, and they all began to act according to her wishes, and Wu Zetian was able to successfully become emperor.

Secondly, Wu Zetian knew how to judge and use people.

After Wu Zetian took charge of the government, she appointed many wise ministers to govern the country. She was known in history for her ability to know people and to appoint them to positions. Wu Zetian's reign was known as "a court full of gentlemen".

Famous wise ministers such as Lou Shide and Di Renjie were among them. Later, Yao Chong and Song Jing, the "wise ministers of Kaiyuan", were also promoted by Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian's ability to employ people was also reflected in her reform and innovation in the employment system.

She reformed the imperial examination system, improved the status of the Jinshi examination, held palace examinations, and created a variety of systems such as military examinations, self-examinations, and examiners.

This gave a large number of children from poor families the opportunity to display their talents.

At the beginning of Wu Zetian's accession to the throne, she personally asked questions to the tribute scholars in the Luocheng Palace, and sent 10 "surrender envoys" to inspect various roads to recommend talents. A year later, more than 10 people were recommended.

Wu Zetian received all talented people regardless of their background and appointed them according to their abilities, some as trial Fengge Sheren, Jieshizhong, some as trial Yuanwailang, Shiyushi, Buque, Shiyi, and Jiaoshulang.

This is the beginning of the ancient Chinese examination system.

Finally, Wu Zetian was good at using power and tactics, and was good at using villains.

Wu Zetian used villains and played power and tactics to achieve her political goals step by step.

She first used Zhou Xing and Suo Yuanli to attack the royal family and nobles of the Tang Dynasty, and then used Lai Junchen to eliminate dissidents.

These people were out-and-out villains, without any courtesy, righteousness, and shame, and did not distinguish right from wrong.

And it was these villains who played an important role in Wu Zetian's reign.

Wu Zetian valued villains, but was not manipulated by them. She had absolute control over them.

She let these little people do bad things and evil things.

She also let villains take the blame for things that offended people.

And she herself sat on the Diaoyutai.

This also led to Zhou Xing, Suo Yuanli and others being too arrogant, causing unrest in the court, and the officials in the court were in fear all day long.

In the end, Wu Zetian executed Zhou Xing and others in accordance with the will of heaven.

Wu Zetian's actions were supported by the officials in the court and the Li Tang royal family.

In Wu Zetian's eyes, these villains were just her political tools, who came when she used them and left when she abandoned them, while she herself controlled the entire court and even the entire empire in her own hands.

It can be seen that Wu Zetian's personal strategy and power tactics were powerful.

...

Seeing that the gentleman did not say anything, Wu Zetian continued:

"Sir, Emperor Gaozong's health is getting worse and worse, and it is estimated that he will not have much time left.

But among the descendants of the Li family, no one is capable of taking on the heavy responsibility.

If Emperor Gaozong dies and leaves the Tang Dynasty to the descendants of the Li family, I am really worried.

For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, I must ascend the throne.

When there are qualified descendants of the Tang Dynasty Li family, I will return the throne to them.

Please help me ascend the throne."

Chen Qilin thought about it and decided to cooperate with Wu Zetian to make a big deal.

He believed that Wu Zetian would definitely bring him huge rewards, and he would get a lot of blood from martial arts masters in exchange for a huge amount of Heavenly Dao Points.

What Chen Qilin lacked the most was Heavenly Dao Points.

He wanted to improve his cultivation to the Refining Void Realm, and he needed a huge amount of Heavenly Dao Points to buy the [Infinite Thunder Holy Sword Art] and many materials for refining the Thunder Holy Sword.

Chen Qilin did not ask too much, and said lightly: "Empress Wu, I can promise to help you, but, you know, I am a businessman."

"Don't worry, sir, if I ascend to the throne, I will reward you handsomely, and you will be satisfied.

When the time comes, whether you need gold, silver, treasures, or the blood of martial arts masters, I can satisfy you!

In addition, I don't need you to come forward unless it is absolutely necessary." Wu Zetian promised solemnly.

Chen Qilin smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll make a deal!"

After that, he poured two glasses of red wine and handed one to Wu Zetian: "Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!" Wu Zetian pulled her beautiful red lips to both sides and smiled.

After getting her husband's promise, she was more confident about obtaining the throne of the Tang Dynasty.

Wu Zetian felt that it was a sure thing.

Clinked the glasses.

The two drank the red wine in the glasses.

Talked about the cooperation.

Wu Zetian said goodbye and left with a group of masters.

Chen Qilin watched the other party leave and checked the Tiandao points.

[Ding! The host's Tiandao points balance is 1.01 million points, which can impact the Lianxu realm. Do you want to improve your cultivation immediately? 】

In the past two months, Chen Qilin has helped many martial arts masters to tell fortunes, give guidance, and collected four registration fees. He has obtained a large number of Tiandao points.

After Chen Qilin raised his cultivation to the ninth level of the Spiritualization Realm, he still had 760,000 Heavenly Dao Points left. Now, with the 250,000 he had just obtained from Wu Zetian, the total was 1.01 million.

Chen Qilin said to Xiao Longnu: "Disciple, your master wants to break through your cultivation, so don't come to the reception room!"

"Yes, Master!" Xiao Longnu respectfully accepted the order.

Chen Qilin waved his sleeves and closed the Heavenly Dao Building.

Then, he immediately sat cross-legged on the leather sofa and said lightly: "System, impact the Refining Void Realm!"

Boom——

As soon as the words fell, a huge and mysterious energy suddenly injected into Chen Qilin's body...

Not long after, he got his wish and raised his cultivation to the first level of the Refining Void Realm.

Chen Qilin was very happy.

After reaching the Refining Void Realm, the next step is to accumulate Heavenly Dao Points to purchase the upper part of the [Infinite Thunder Holy Sword Art] peerless magical power.

Chen Qilin took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, stood up, and after feeling his own strength, he waved his sleeves to open the door of Tiandao Building again.

[Ding! Xie Xun, the Golden Lion King, came to Tiandao Building. ]

The system sounded.

Chen Qilin looked at the entrance and saw Xie Xun, who was full of golden hair, curly beard, and extremely strong, carrying the Dragon Slaying Sword and walking towards the reception room.

At the same time, there was a light screen information on his head.

Chen Qilin nodded secretly after seeing the other party's cultivation column, which had reached the Grandmaster level.
