I Can Control My Ancestors

Chapter 560 - 61: Iron-Blooded Methods, Establishing Empress Wu Zhao

For five whole days, Wu Zetian remained in a coma.

Although everything had long since been prepared.

But in this era, to make everything seem more real, she couldn’t hold back, which inevitably led to many uncertainties.

However, Wu Zetian did it anyway!

This was her extraordinary quality.

Li Zheng Hall.

When Wu Zetian opened her eyes once more, the first thing she saw was Li Zhi beside her.

It was only a brief moment of bewilderment.

The next moment, it seemed she had already guessed everything.

The heavy stone hanging in her heart quietly fell at this moment.

"I won."

She silently said in her heart, then immediately looked at Li Zhi, tears flowing from the corner of her eyes, and with an extremely weak voice, she softly said, "Your... Your Majesty..."

Her demeanor was frail, evoking sympathy.

Upon hearing her, Li Zhi immediately grasped her hand tightly, his face full of joy, "Mei Niang! You... you’ve finally awakened?!"

After he spoke, he wept tears of joy.

Seeing her face as pale as paper, his heart ached painfully, and he choked up, "It must have been... so hard for my Mei Niang!"

The two embraced, each shedding tears. ...

....

August;

Li Zhi formally issued an edict to depose Empress Wang from her position, and members of her clan were successively dismissed, decisively concluding this matter.

Besides her, there was Consort Xiao—

Li Zhi directly announced her crimes in the edict.

Consort Xiao plotted to poison and was demoted to a commoner; her mother and brothers were also stripped of their names, and the entire clan was exiled.

All the struggles ended completely at this moment.

This time, Li Zhi acted extremely decisively, leaving no time for anyone to react.

With the support of the Gu Clan.

The power that this Emperor could unleash was something no minister could possibly obstruct.

After days of continuous struggle, Zhangsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang could not possibly help Consort Xiao.

The matter was thus concluded.

The news spread, shocking the entire world!

No one could have anticipated that matters would develop to this extent; amidst the struggle between Empress Wang and Consort Xiao, the final victor would be Wu Zetian.

And the turbulence caused by this event was only just beginning.

The culture of the Great Tang was too prosperous, and coupled with the advisory atmosphere maintained since the Zhenguan era, scholars across the land were destined to have a significant reaction to this event!

But at this point, who could stop Li Zhi?

And don’t forget, Wu Zetian no longer needed to hide at this time.

At Wu Zetian’s suggestion.

After a few days, Li Zhi promoted a commoner who supported the event, and the entire situation completely shifted!

There are always those willing to abandon other things for rapid advancement.

And Li Zhi used this as a means to continuously weaken the Guanlong aristocracy and the courtly nobility from places like Shandong, thereby reshuffling the court’s landscape.

Gu Yi even felt that Li Zhi wanted to use this opportunity to reverse the current political atmosphere of the Great Tang, curbing this increasingly arrogant habit towards the Emperor.

All of this could be described as tackling multiple issues simultaneously.

At the same time, Wu Zetian had people secretly propagate tales of her various virtues.

Her background had nothing noteworthy to promote, and her experiences in the palace were utterly untellable; the only thing that could be mentioned at this time was her virtue.

Under these various means, the entire atmosphere of the Great Tang rapidly began to change.

This was the general trend!

When a reigning emperor truly makes a decision, then no one can halt it.

The fifth year of Yonghui, November 1st.

Li Zhi held a grand ceremony for Wu Zetian’s establishment in Chang’an.

He also posthumously honored her father and mother.

This completely drew the curtain on this struggle. ....
