133. Contradiction and reasoning
According to Wu Zetian, half a year ago, the Demon Pearl appeared and bewitched a group of guards in the palace. These guards wanted to hold the emperor to command the princes.
But when they failed.
The emperor was injured, all the guards died, and the demon beads fell into the hands of the court.
Wu Zetian began to use death row prisoners to explore the secrets of the Demon Beads.
As a result, before the secret of the Demon Bead was discovered, the Demon Bead bewitched a group of people and launched a riot. Although the riot was suppressed, the Demon Bead lost its trace from then on.
During this period, a father-in-law named Li was lucky in disguise and completely mastered the power of the Demon Bead.
Wu Zetian ordered the investigation of this matter, but half a year later, the Demon Bead still has no trace.
However, now, Wang Bo knew the whereabouts of the Demon Bead from Wu Zetian's mouth.
This seems a bit contradictory.
Moreover, the Demon Bead is so strict that why it suddenly disappears? Could it be that the Demon Bead has long legs?
Wang Bo had not doubted these things before, but when he saw Wu Zetian today and found that the other party wanted to swallow the Demon Pearl by himself, Wang Bo had a little doubt.
So, Wang Bo made his own inference.
Half a year ago, Emperor Li Zhi was injured due to the Demon Bead incident and was lingering in sickness and was difficult to get rid of. All government affairs were handed over to Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian handled government affairs day and night. Seeing that Emperor Li Zhi's condition did not improve, he was determined to pick it up.
She wants to be the emperor.
But she knew that it would be difficult for her to become an emperor. After Li Zhi's death in history, Wu Zetian did not immediately rule the world. The one who inherited Li Zhi's position was his seventh son, Wu Zetian's third son.
Li Xian!
That is, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang in history!
At this time, the Empress Dowager Wu Zetian was in charge of the dynasty, but in fact, there was not much difference between the later generations' rule, but at this time, Wu Zetian was still not the emperor, she was the Empress Dowager.
A few months after Li Xian became emperor, his wife was blowing in her ears, asking him to promote Old Taishan. As the supreme leader of the Tang Dynasty regime, it was really light to promote Old Taishan.
So, a few days later, Mr. Taishan received the letter of appointment. However, what he never expected was that his promotion of Lao Taishan was annoyed his mother without reporting it to his mother.
When Wu Zetian found out, she was furious and thought that she would not report such a thing to me. Can I still control him in the future?
So within a few days, Li Xian was deposed.
But after Li Xian, Wu Zetian was still not the emperor.
The one who ascended the throne was Li Dan, the eighth son of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, and the fourth son of Emperor Wu Zetian, the same brother as Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, and the father of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji.
It was not until a few years later that Wu Zetian proclaimed herself as emperor, changed the country's name to Zhou, and established the capital of Luoyang, while Li Dan was demoted to the imperial heir, re-appointed as prime minister, and imprisoned in the palace.
But even so, Wu Zetian's throne was still not firmly held.
More than a decade later, Wu Zetian became ill, and Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi and others launched the "Shenlong Revolution" to support Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, and forced him to abdicate.
This is enough to prove that Wu Zetian's journey to emperor was definitely not smooth.
And she herself obviously knew this. Even as the two saints, the ministers still argued and argued, which shows that it is not an easy task for the hen to silence the Chenchen.
But as a scheming woman, the appearance of the Magic Bead gave Wu Zetian hope.
She longs to have the power of the Demon Bead, and uses the power of the Demon Bead to ascend to the throne and consolidate her country.
Therefore, Wu Zetian is more interested in the power of the Demon Bead than anyone else.
Maybe in the process of studying the magic beads, Wu Zetian had already mastered the secrets of the magic beads and used the power of the magic beads to create people like Eunuch Li.
From the fact that Eunuch Li is willing to confront Wang Bo head-on for Wu Zetian, it can be seen that Eunuch Li is Wu Zetian's confidant.
After Wu Zetian grasped the secret of the Demon Pearl, he kept it secret, and even Eunuch Li's existence was concealed.
Because she knew very well that once she announced the secret of the Demon Bead was cracked, the first thing she used was the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
If more and more people are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, then her hope of ascending the throne will become slim.
So Wu Zetian concealed everything and directed a riot himself.
During this riot, the Demon Bead was taken away by Wu Zetian's people and sent out of the palace.
Eunuch Li also successfully played a role in disguise in this riot. Not only did he regain his rationality, but he also possessed a powerful body of power.
Then, Wu Zetian started calling for robbers to catch them. While asking his confidant to hide the Demon Bead, he ordered the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to find the whereabouts of the Demon Bead.
She knew the situation on both sides clearly. If the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty could find the Demon Pearl, it would be a ghost.
The reason why Wu Zetian did this was to swallow the demon beads alone.
Then, Wu Zetian used the magic beads to create people like Eunuch Li, and these people were undoubtedly his confidants.
After Li Zhi died, Wu Zetian could use this group of people to easily control the palace and forcibly ascend the throne to the emperor.
After all, whether in ancient times or modern times, it is a very true saying to have power in the barrel of a gun.
If there is a unit that can fight against a hundred ghosts and gods, even if there are only one thousand people, it can match a hundred thousand troops. If there is really such a unit, it will definitely be much easier for Wu Zetian to ascend the throne than imagined.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Bo made the above guess.
But these speculations are not impeccable.
Because there are still many things that don't make sense.
If the riot was really planned by Wu Zetian, then the Demon Bead should be honestly in the hands of Wu Zetian, but now, the Demon Bead is in the hands of a gangster.
The second point is why Wu Zetian asked himself to take action.
With her status, it should be no problem to cultivate a group of dead soldiers and confidants, and she can take action without hiding it.
However, Wu Zetian found himself, what was going on?
This is what makes Wang Bo incredible and even puzzled.
Why is it yourself?
Wang Bo felt it was very strange and could not think of a reason. With his wisdom, being able to reason about the above situation was already a super-level performance.
After all, he is not Bruce Wayne, nor is he Sherlock Holmes.
After thinking for a while and unable to figure it out, Wang Bo simply gave up thinking. After all, these things actually have nothing to do with him.
He is just an ordinary person who wants to live an ordinary life.
What he has to do now is to find the magic bead, then determine the danger of the magic bead, hand it over to Wu Zetian, get a reward of 100,000 taels of gold, and then write off his grudges with Wu Zetian and live an ordinary life.
