"They wanted to find someone called Consort Dowager Wu." "Consort Dowager Wu." "Mother." "Are you hungry good boy." "I will." "I've prepared for you let's go We're not going after Li Ke" "About this matter that doesn't mean he harbours no dissent." "At the North Palace Gate." "he made a questionable decision." "My Tang cannot withstand any disturbances." "Unless we have absolute proof or else we must make use of this opportunity. as far away as possible." "Mei Niang is bearing Father's child She's wearing So no one in the Temple has noticed" "wonderful" "I must congratulate her." "I know she has always wanted to bear a child for Father." "Ninth elder brother why force yourself to smile I have no right to be disappointed. as long as I can see her again." "I'll issue an edict to bring her back to the palace. she'll forever be a Consort Dowager." "Is that what you want what else can happen between us" "Even as the Emperor." "I can't always get what I want. but you can't do the things you want to do. you have respected and listened and worked hard on state affairs." "But you're allowed to make fewer and fewer decisions." "Have you ever wondered why" "Well" "Because the current Tang court is dominated by Uncle" "and he practically appoints all the ministers." "Even the Emperor's edicts are rejected by him." "Nobody can help you." "I've issued an edict to summon General Li Ji who was banished to Diezhou by Father." "He should be back in a month." "When he gets back." "He can help me" "Li Ji is an outsider." "Besides his influence is in the army." "He won't interfere with Court matters." "The only person who can help you is the third elder brother Ke." "But you can't get him back." "Right" "Because" "Zhangsun Prime Minister won't allow it." "Uncle is doing this for the sake of Tang." "now except for a handful of ministers like Xu Jingzong" "Wait" "A few people can be regarded as outside the Orient House everyone else is dominated by Zhangsun Daren" "You'll always be under his control." "You'll never be free."

"By the way... the Grand Assembly should be over soon." "Why?" "I just remembered" "Mei Niang thinks highly of it and can't forget about the fireworks." "spectacular scenery I can arrange it for her." "But she thinks the Royale harem heartless and dangerous place." "Besides" "Father is gone" "She wants to take her child away from Ganye Temple." "She probably doesn't want to come back and won't see your fireworks." "Notice the Empress" "His Majesty sent word." "he's not coming to Lizheng Hall tonight." "Tonight won't the only night." "Did the Consort Shu personally invite His Majesty to Xianling Palace" "This time the Pure Consort" "She sent the Prince of Yong." "To stop his Majesty in order not to let his Majesty she's capable of anything." "But His Majesty didn't go there either." "He went back to Ganlu Hall." "I heard His Majesty was intercepted by Rui'an." "He went to see Princess Gaoyang instead." "Gaoyang Princess" "The woman ruler named Wu" is nonsense. do not allow it to go adrift." "If Wu Mei Niang is pregnant regardless of gender." "But Mei Niang is allowed to live. this is how he treated you." "But you still can't forget the fireworks you watched with him." "I don't mind making your dream come true." "Anyone there" "Your Majesty" "Send this letter to the Prince of Wu in Anzhou." "Yes your Majesty" "Also" "Summon Xu Jingzong."

"Did you realise in everything I try to do" "Was the uncle of constraints difficult situation" "They all think I'm weak." "Maybe Uncle doesn't believe" "I'm worthy of the throne. and give my Tang state peace and prosperity." "Father for the sake of the kingdom and to make my dream come true." "I have decided to declare war on Uncle." "Father" "Just watch me" "I promise I won't let you down." "I don't know but this letter ought to cheer you up." "Pheasant Slave" "His Majesty wrote this" "What did His Majesty say he trusts me" "and will summon me back to Chang'an to assist him." "That's great" "But why do Prince still look so worried" "I often think of that day by the lake when someone tried to assassinate me." "Somehow I've got this feeling that the arrow was not aimed to kill me." "Watch out how can you be sure the arrow wasn't meant to kill you" "You're reading too much into it." "Back when Zhangsun Wuji because I had my own thinking" "and wanted to be as far away from Pheasant Slave as possible." "I often see this picture in my mind of Qingque at the North Gate." "So many people came from Xianling Palace." "and they were determined to kill Father." "They were all loyalists of Sui Dynasty." "Am I right" "Did Mother pay for them" "Or they were in collaboration ai:bowo-subs ai:bowo-subs ai:bowo-subs" "How many more were there" "I know nothing about it" "I was afraid they'd come to me again." "I've been having this strange dream." "I was leading a bunch of people." "We barged into Taiji Palace and killed Pheasant Slave I'm worried of this dream."

"But they were all killed that day they tried to assassinate the late Emperor." "You're going back to Chang'an to assist His Majesty." "To let a sword collect dust is such a shame." "How can you bear to see His Majesty take on the responsibility of Tang alone" "Don't you want to make a contribution" "Good We'll return to Chang'an immediately." "In my opinion." "the Prince of Wu shows no dissent." "but Zhangshi Yang who serves under him should be killed for treason. we have done" "Be patient." "The timing is not right." "Can make us see the Prince of Wu" "Don't much to worry when the time comes" "Loyalists of Sui dynasty like all of us" "That year worked with Consort Yang only because she wanted to kill Li Shimin and avenge the late Emperor." "If the Prince of Wu had no intention to kill Li Zhi and usurp the throne." "he's not worthy of our allegiance." "Don't forget." "His Highness carries he would not serve someone else." "You can rest assured he will meet with you. it won't happen until we assassinate Li Zhi." "Or else anything we say now is nothing but an illusion." "Fine on Empress Wende's birthday." "the assassination of Li Zhi was our original plan anyway." "But Ganye Temple will be heavily guarded." "We may not be able to sneak inside." "Too many manpower" "Have you forgotten" "Inside the Chang'an Palace we have helper" "With his help" "Getting inside Ganye Temple should be easy" "He's already notified me."

"Xu Jingzong for greed and impropriety. he married off his daughter to the barbarians in the south." "Your Majesty." "His greed makes him unworthy of being a scholar."
