Chapter 156 Empress Wu became the emperor, it was destiny
Wu Zetian believed:
With the master behind her, her sky would not fall and her earth would not sink.
The grand and ancient music resounded inside and outside the Daming Palace (the name of the Tang Dynasty palace).
The ministers, dressed in colorful robes, lined up from the square outside the Daming Palace to the Daming Palace according to their official ranks.
Today, Wu Zetian wore the emperor's robe, the emperor's crown, and the emperor's sword on her waist. Under the protection of a group of martial arts masters, she walked majestically to the throne that symbolized supreme power.
When Wu Zetian appeared, many ministers were stunned.
They thought that Wu Zetian would choose a young prince from the remaining princes to inherit the throne.
Then Wu Zetian would rule the country from behind the curtain...
Who would have thought that Wu Zetian would choose to go into battle bare-chested, ascend the throne as the empress, and walk from behind the scenes to the front.
In addition, some of Wu Zetian's direct confidants immediately knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor".
Some ministers who were originally fence-sitters saw this and knew that it was a high probability event that Empress Wu would ascend the throne as the female emperor, so they also knelt down and shouted long live.
If they did not kneel down now, they were worried that Empress Wu, no, it should be Emperor Wu, would settle accounts with them.
In order to keep the black gauze hat on their heads, they chose to make Wu Zetian the emperor.
The rest of the ministers stood there and did not kneel down.
In their hearts, they were unwilling to make a woman the emperor.
Wu Zetian saw this scene, and there was no surprise on her face.
All this was within her expectations.
Wu Zetian approached the supreme throne step by step.
She finally walked to the throne and was about to sit down.
"Report!"
But at this moment, a guard ran in with an anxious face, knelt on one knee and said:
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened! The left and right camps stationed in the capital have all rebelled and surrendered to the prince, and the central camp is fighting fiercely with the left and right camps.
The general of the central camp reported that due to insufficient troops, the central camp could not hold back the prince's army for a long time. Your Majesty, please be prepared to fight the enemy!"
When Wu Zetian heard the report, her face became extremely gloomy.
This rebellious son!
Do you really want to go against me to the end? !
"Hahaha, God is really watching!"
"Wu Zetian, you want to steal the Li Tang dynasty, you dream!"
"Hahaha..."
Some of the diehards of the Tang Dynasty laughed wildly.
Wu Zetian shouted: "Come here, take down all these rebellious ministers who disrespect the emperor, throw them into the sky prison, and wait for their fate!"
Immediately, a group of royal guards rushed into the Daming Palace and took down all the diehards of the Li Tang, including the Minister of Rites.
Even though they were taken away, they still shouted loudly.
Wu Zetian frowned.
She shouted: "Order the imperial guards to climb the city wall of Shendu and defend Shendu with all their strength!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The messenger took the order and left.
Wu Zetian glanced at the remaining ministers and said: "My dear ministers, follow me to the city wall of Shendu. I will personally supervise the battle and defeat the enemy army!"
After speaking, Wu Zetian led the ministers to the city wall.
Sure enough, the three camps not far from Shendu were fighting...
Wu Zetian was so angry that her lungs almost exploded when she saw this scene.
The generals of the left and right camps had originally promised to support her to ascend the throne.
Who would have thought that the generals of the left and right camps would turn against her in the battle and give her a heavy blow.
Wu Zetian secretly swore:
If this rebellion is quelled, the main generals of the left and right camps must be torn into pieces and their nine clans must be exterminated.
If he was not killed and the blood flowed, it would not be enough to calm Wu Zetian's rage, nor would it be enough to deter other evil-minded villains.
At the same time, Wu Zetian also knew that she would face a huge backlash if she took the throne, and she had to be careful everywhere.
She also had to use thundering means to severely suppress those traitors who disobeyed her.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for Wu Zetian to sit firmly on the throne.
At this moment, Wu Zetian also secretly said anxiously:
"Sir, where are you? The situation is extremely critical now. If the prince's army is allowed to attack the capital, I will be finished!"
A few hours later.
Wu Zetian's capital camp was conquered by the prince's left and right camps, and many generals and soldiers were captured.
The generals of the left and right camps under the prince led the army to the capital Luoyang.
The prince wanted to conquer Luoyang in one fell swoop, pull his mother Wu Zetian off the throne, and take back the throne that belonged to him.
On the top of Luoyang City.
The ministers were extremely anxious.
If the prince was allowed to conquer Luoyang City and ascend the throne, they would be traitors.
"Your Majesty, please think of a solution quickly. The troops of the left and right camps are coming aggressively. We only have these imperial guards. I am afraid it will be difficult to defend!"
"Your Majesty..."
Wu Zetian shouted in a deep voice: "Okay, shut up. If I have a solution, you don't need to tell me!"
The ministers had to shut up obediently, looking at the chaotic troops of the left and right camps in panic.
Wu Zetian was anxious and angry.
Sir!
If you don't show up, I'm going to be finished!
Boom!
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a strong wind, dark clouds, lightning and thunder over Luoyang City. The clear sky, which was originally cloudless, suddenly fell into darkness.
It was as if the end of the world had come, which was quite terrifying.
"This... this is the wrath of God!"
"Empress Wu wants to usurp the throne of the Tang Dynasty, which has angered God!"
"..."
The subordinates of the prince's side exclaimed in surprise.
The prince looked at the sky, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a deep voice:
"The army of the left and right camps, attack for this prince, and you must conquer Luoyang City and capture Empress Wu before sunrise tomorrow. I will reward you greatly!"
After receiving the prince's promise, the soldiers of the left and right camps were even more excited.
This is a rare opportunity to make achievements.
If this battle is successful, they will help the prince ascend to the throne. They are all heroes from the dragon!
The army of the left and right camps shouted and rushed to the capital.
On the top of the city.
Wu Zetian and a group of ministers looked very ugly.
Aohou——
Suddenly, a dragon roar came, which was extremely majestic.
All those who heard this sound were trembling with fear.
The next scene frightened everyone to kneel on the ground.
"Look, a dragon has drilled out of the vortex in the sky!!!" A sharp-eyed official pointed at the sky and said tremblingly.
Wu Zetian and others looked up at the sky.
As expected, they saw a huge vortex on the sky, surrounded by countless lightning.
The most terrifying thing was:
From the vortex, a terrifying figure as magnificent as a mountain range emerged, exuding a terrifying breath of destruction.
This thing has a bull head, deer horns, fish whiskers, eagle eyes... and a body like a giant snake. This is the legendary dragon! ! !
Roar---
The dragon opened its bloody mouth and let out a dragon roar.
Suddenly, the prince's army, which was originally attacking the capital, all collapsed to the ground and could not move. They felt as if there were mountains pressing down on their bodies.
The prince himself also knelt on the ground and could not move.
They were panicked!
"Empress Wu is the emperor, it is the destiny of heaven!!!"
The dragon above the nine heavens looked at Wu Zetian and others in the direction of the capital city, opened its bloody mouth, and spoke in human language.
The sound was magnificent and full of mystery, clearly spreading throughout the capital and into everyone's ears.
Plop!
Plop!
At this time, except for the suppressed prince's army, everyone inside and outside the capital knelt on the ground, saluting the dragon and Wu Zetian.
"Auspicious signs from heaven! Empress Wu is the emperor, it is the destiny of heaven!!!" Everyone shouted in unison.
