I originally thought I could show my face for a while, but I didn't expect that I would be embarrassed or a big show. Not to mention how uncomfortable Wu Chengsi felt.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that the ministers always looked at him, and they all had strange smiles on their faces, as if he was a monkey jumping around.

Wu Chengsi looked ugly. He followed the ministers back to the hall and thought that this matter was gone, but the turn of opportunity came.

Wu Zetian sat down on the throne, his face calmly, glanced at the ministers, and said, "I have thought about the establishment of a crown prince again and again, and I always hesitate and find it difficult to decide. Let's take advantage of this day to discuss it."

"What? What? What? Is it a matter of appointing the crown prince?"

"I heard it right?"

"Is there anything wrong with my ear?"

As soon as Wu Zetian finished speaking, the ministers shouted, all of them looked in disbelief and thought they had heard it wrong.

The establishment of a crown prince is a major event for the country and a taboo thing, and it will not be mentioned at any time. What's more, the matter of Wu Zetian's appointment of a crown prince is even more complicated. Not to mention that there are not many people who dare to mention it, but Wu Zetian took the initiative to propose it even less.

With Wu Chengsi's embarrassment, the ministers thought that this matter was gone. No one expected that Wu Zetian would take the initiative to discuss the matter of appointing the crown prince. Who would not be surprised?

Even Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi and other important officials were also unexpected.

"This..." Li Longji was also stunned, then woke up and said intimately: "The establishment of a prince should have been done long ago, but it was postponed because of the Turkic offensive in the south. Now that the Turkic is destroyed and the north is peaceful, it is indeed time to deal with this matter."

The issue of the establishment of the prince was debated for several years, but it was not a result. Now Wu Zetian is old and has reached the point where he has to make a decision. In addition, the peace in the north is a good opportunity to deal with this matter.

"That's great!" Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi looked ecstatic, with their heads raised and their chests were almost singing loudly.

Li Dan, Li Xian and Princess Taiping looked surprised, followed by joy.

If Wu clan is appointed as the crown prince, then Li clan will be in danger. Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi are not ruthless towards Li clan and are always thinking about killing Li clan. Wu Chengsi once proposed to Wu Zetian that he would kill all the Li clan, but it was not carried out because of the opposition of the ministers.

If Wu became emperor, how many people could Li live?

Li is determined to win the position of crown prince. In addition, Li is popular with the support of the ministers, he should succeed.

"Your Majesty, I think Wu is your blood relative, and it is natural to establish Wu's family." Wang Qing took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty also asks you to make a decision."

"Yes." Wu Zetian agreed with this very much.

"Your Majesty, my nephew must build a temple for His Majesty to sacrifice, so that His Majesty's reputation will be passed down for generations." Wu Sansi's face was blushing and hurriedly patted his chest to promise.

This made Wu Zetian feel itchy. She was determined to make Wu the crown prince because Wu would set up a temple for her. Otherwise, with the talents of Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi, how could she be attracted to her?

"Yes." Wu Zetian nodded slightly, with a smile on his face, and was very grateful.

Wu Chengsi was not willing to fall behind and hurriedly promised: "Your Majesty respects the world, swallows up all the world, and drives all the heroes. Who dares not to obey? With Your Majesty's reputation, it will be remembered forever. My nephew will order all parts of the world to build temples for Your Majesty, and asks monks to preside over it, and sacrifices three times a day."

"Okay! OK! OK!" Wu Zetian was very happy, with a smile on his face, smiling, and enjoying it very much.

Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi had no extraordinary talent. The reason why they had today's status is that they were good at flattering Wu Zetian. Their unique trick was to grasp the word "sacrificial", which was what Wu Zetian wanted to do the most. If you say so, you can try it all.

"Your Majesty, no." Di Renjie stepped forward and opposed loudly, saying: "Looking at ancient times, there has been no nephew who set up a temple for his aunt. If Wu is appointed as the crown prince and Wu is the emperor and empress, he must be the sacrifice for his father."

Di Renjie is the most capable minister who opposes Wu as the crown prince, so of course he has to be the first to speak up. Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi saw it and hated him so much that their teeth were itchy. Why did Di Renjie oppose this every time he mentioned this? And he was the most effective.

If Di Renjie hadn't opposed it, Wu Sansi would have been the crown prince long ago, and he would have wanted to tear Di Renjie and eat it.

"I'm going to discuss it." A roar sounded, and came from the mouths of the ministers. Seventy or eighty percent of the ministers fully supported Di Renjie.

"Old Guo, what you said is wrong." Zhang Jiafu immediately retorted, saying: "Looking at ancient times and present, there is no queen. His Majesty became the queen with a daughter, setting a precedent for a generation. Why can't his nephew worship his aunt?"

"Yes, yes!" Wu Zetian said with a smile on his face, and he rushed to say, as if the source of joy.

Zhang Jiafu's words did not touch Wu Zetian's itch, but hit Wu Zetian's heart.

Wu Zetian became the only queen in Chinese history with a female spoil. This was a precedent for a generation. This was the most proud thing in Wu Zetian's life, and she could not be happy.

"That's right!" Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi were happy when they saw Wu Zetian, and they were also happy and agreed loudly.

"I beg your Majesty to make Wu the crown prince!" Wu's minions pleaded loudly.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, no nephew has been married to his son. It is better to have a son than to establish a nephew." Zhang Jianzhi stepped forward and said loudly.

"Yes." Wu Zetian was stunned, the smile on his face froze, and then nodded, agreeing with Zhang Jianzhi's words.

Blood is thicker than water. Can my nephew kiss her son even more? Wu Zetian is a sensible person and has to admit this.

"Your Majesty, looking at the past and present, there has been no one who has established a temple for a different surname." Wu Sansi stepped forward, with a sincere look on his face, as if a believer saw a saint, and said, "No matter how close his son is, he is a different surname. He is a member of the Li family. He wants to worship the ancestor of Li instead of Your Majesty. The nephew's surname is Wu, and he is a member of the Wu family. He is his nephew. Building a temple for your Majesty is his duty."

"It's also reasonable." Wu Zetian emphasized the key point and agreed with it.

Although Li Dan and Li Xian are Wu Zetian's own sons, they are still from the Li family. If they become emperors, they will definitely set up temples for Li family and will not sacrifice to the different surname Wu Zetian.

This is Wu Zetian's sorrow. It is difficult to find someone who satisfies her to inherit the country.

It is passed on to the nephew. The nephew has no son's relatives; it is passed on to the son. The son has a different surname.

Next, there is a verbal battle. Every word is said and said, and both sides have their own opinions, and it makes it difficult for Wu Zetian to make a decision.

This debate has lasted for several years, and each has its own reasons, which makes it difficult for Wu Zetian to decide. It is not surprising that this is true today.

In the end, no one can convince anyone. If they continue to fight like this, even if they fight for ten years, there will be no result. Wu Zetian frowned.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not difficult to decide." Li Longji took a step forward and shouted at Wu Zetiandao.

"Oh, Sanlang, why did you say this?" Wu Zetian was surprised and asked hurriedly.

The issue of the crown prince has been debated for almost ten years, whether it is the establishment of a nephew or a son, each has its own advantages and each has its own shortcomings. With Wu Zetian's shrewdness, she still has not made any decisions for almost ten years. Li Longji actually said it was not difficult to make a decision, and she was really surprised.

"I heard it right? Isn't it difficult to make a decision?"

"If this is not difficult to decide, can we argue for so many years?"

"Did the King of Chu speak loudly? Even the elders of the country dare not say this."

The ministers were also surprised, and their eyes widened and looked at Li Longji.

Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi and other important officials were also surprised and looked at Li Longji.

"Sanlang, don't talk nonsense." Li Xian, Li Dan and Princess Taiping hurriedly reminded.

At this critical moment of establishing the prince, you must never make mistakes. If Li Longji talks nonsense, the consequences will be unimaginable and will ruin Li's future.

"No matter who becomes the crown prince to worship His Majesty, the most important thing is not whether the surname is Li or Wu, but whether the country can be passed down for a long time." Li Longji seemed to have not heard the doubts of the ministers.

"How can I explain this?" Wu Zetian was stunned and asked immediately.

These words were exactly what everyone was thinking, and they all stared at Li Longlong with their eyes wide open.

"If you want to worship Your Majesty, only the country has been passed down for a long time; if it cannot be passed down for a long time, how can the rituals come from?" Li Longji's tone was a little high.

"Li Longji, you are so brave. How dare you curse Your Majesty's country that cannot be passed on for a long time? You should be punished!" Wu Sansi jumped high and shouted loudly, roaring like thunder.

"Li Longji, you are indeed ill-intentioned and dare to curse Your Majesty. Your Majesty, you should kill Li Longji." Wu Chengsi almost jumped to the beam of the roof like a crowing rooster.

"This..." The ministers burst into cold sweats on their foreheads, worried about Li Longji.

"Sanlang, you are too brave, you dare to say this." Li Dan felt that his eyes were black and he almost fainted.

Li Longji's words were definitely a taboo, and the consequences of Wu Zetian's angry words were unimaginable. However, what was unexpected was that Wu Zetian was not angry, but thoughtful.

"If Your Majesty becomes the emperor, it will naturally be a permanent national fortune. If it were Wu Sansi or Wu Chengsi, it would be hard to say." Li Longji continued: "Wu Sansi cannot suddenly become brave and cannot make meritorious. Your Majesty knows this. Wu Chengsi used those crooked melons and dates to write to the palace to make people laugh, and Your Majesty saw it with his own eyes. The reason is that they rely on His Majesty's power, do not take the people seriously, do not care about the people, and do not love them. If Your Majesty handed over the country to them, I dare to ask Your Majesty, how long can His Majesty's country last?"

Li Longji's tone was not high, but every word was like thunder, hitting everyone's hearts, and their faces changed drastically.

Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi's faces turned pale and their faces were twisted. Looking at Li Longji, their eyes were almost spitting out of fire.

This is an embarrassing story between the two. Li Longji didn't mention any pot, and exposed their shortcomings in public, which made them extremely unhappy, but could not refute them.

"The King of Chu is too brave. This is true. If you anger Your Majesty, the consequences will be unimaginable." The ministers said in their hearts, all of whom were worried and their faces changed drastically.

Some people even felt cold sweat on their faces.

"The King of Chu's words are reasonable, but it is not good that it will cause a huge disaster." Cold sweat also oozed from Di Renjie's forehead.

Li Dan, Li Xian and Princess Taiping looked at each other, their faces pale.

"There is a saying: Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world! Should you establish the Wu clan or the Li clan, Your Majesty should think about the will of the people." Li Longji seemed to have not seen the worried expressions of the ministers.

Wu Zetian looked ugly and his eyes were like a knife, staring at Li Longji.

Li Longji raised his head and his chest, his eyes clear, and he looked at Wu Zetian.
