Chapter 637 The Chaotic Situation in the Tang Dynasty!

The current situation in the Tang Dynasty is quite complicated. Unless the emperor himself supervises state affairs, no matter who takes on this task, it will be a thankless task.

No one will praise her if she does a good job, and she will be severely impeached if she makes a mistake.

However, if she wants to turn a blind eye to these difficult problems and simply be a hands-off shopkeeper, the group of ministers below will certainly not give up.

So, Wu Mei had an idea and used a clever trick to invite the general.

She knew clearly in her heart that as long as she showed her intention to get involved in political affairs and control power, Changsun Wuji would definitely jump out and strongly oppose it without hesitation.

And she could take this opportunity to pass on this mess to the prince and put the blame on Li Chenggan.

In this way, she could free up a lot of free time again, return to the harem leisurely, and be intimate with her sisters.

After all, His Majesty Li II has fallen into a deep sleep, and the entire harem naturally respects her, and she can do whatever she wants!

……

……

"Not...you, me, her~~"

Changsun Wuji looked at Empress Wu, who disappeared like lightning, and stood there blankly as if he was cast into a spell, with disbelief and regret on his face.

After a long while, he woke up from his dream and realized what a stupid mistake he had just made.

"Wuji, you are confused!"

Du Rumei on the side sighed helplessly, stretched out her hand and gently patted Changsun Wuji's shoulder, shook her head and sighed:

"Changsun Wuji, Changsun Wuji, you are really smart all your life but confused for a moment! Can't you see that none of us expressed opposition?

What kind of situation is the Tang Dynasty in now, how could you not know?"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling, who had been silent all the time, could no longer suppress his anger in his heart, and started to curse directly.

"Yes, looking at the whole world, who else can have such ability and courage to deal with these thorny issues except Empress Wu?

It should be a good thing that the queen took the initiative to take this responsibility, but you blocked it, which is simply unreasonable. Why do you have to jump out and sing the opposite tune at this critical juncture?"

"εu003d(´ο｀*)))Alas~~~"

Faced with the accusations and criticisms of the crowd, Changsun Wuji lowered his head helplessly, his face as pale as a piece of white paper.

He sighed deeply, thinking in his heart how to explain this matter to the prince after returning.

After all, this move was too reckless, and it is likely to bring unnecessary trouble and distress to the prince.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely sit on the position of regent!"

Unexpectedly, contrary to what Changsun Wuji expected, Prince Li Chenggan was not troubled by this matter at all, but happily agreed to it.

In his eyes, being the regent is not only harmless, but also a great thing!

Because being the regent can fully demonstrate his outstanding talents and imperial demeanor as a prince.

And as long as Aye fails to wake up, he can rule the Tang Dynasty for a whole day.

Even if he has no chance to become a real emperor in this life, it is a rare experience to experience such supreme power first.

If Aye wakes up in the future and sees him governing the Tang Dynasty in an orderly and prosperous manner,

maybe one day when his father is tired of the throne, when considering the successor, the first person he thinks of is likely to be himself.

To put it another way, even if he cannot ascend to the supreme throne in the end, he will definitely be granted a continent in the future.

In this way, it is actually not much different from the emperor in ancient times.

You know, since they learned that Li Shimin had gained eternal life, the open and secret struggles among the princes gradually subsided, and the relationship between the brothers became increasingly harmonious.

What's more, many princes took the initiative to choose to be crowned kings in advance, and went to their respective fiefdoms to be free and happy "local emperors".

After all, in Chang'an, there is always pressure from the father above, and they must abide by all kinds of red tape;

However, once they arrive at their own fiefdoms, it is their own world, where they can issue orders as they please and enjoy honor.

Since there is no hope of competing for the throne, it is better to find a good place to enjoy wealth and glory.

"I hope that after your highness takes over, you will not blame me, your uncle!"

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Chenggan, who was full of confidence, and shook his head with a sigh.

…

…

“This, this, this, what should I do!”

Li Chenggan stared at the memorial in front of him with a serious face, and a deep worry surged in his heart.

On the memorial, there were densely listed various difficulties that the Tang Empire was facing now, which could be described as being riddled with holes and devastated.

The major provinces were like wild horses that were untamed. There was a riot almost every three days, and a rebellion every five days.

In order to maintain public order and collect taxes, local officials racked their brains and were exhausted, and many of them even turned gray.

However, even if they tried their best, there were still vast tracts of land that were unmanaged, causing memorials requesting the court to send capable managers to pile up like snowflakes.

Thinking of this, Li Chenggan couldn't help but sigh. No wonder his cheap stepmother didn't want to take over the hot potato-like government!

The current Tang Dynasty is a mess that can't be any worse. No matter who takes over, it will probably be in vain.

For a long time, the Central Plains in people's eyes may seem to be prosperous and peaceful, but in fact, this is just a gorgeous coat.

In the vast areas outside the Central Plains, countless people of the Tang Dynasty are trapped in dire straits and live a miserable life.

"Those military meritorious men who only know how to charge into battle think about how to expand the territory and fight on the battlefield all day long, but they don't care whether the Tang Dynasty has enough ability to effectively rule such a vast territory!"

Li Chenggan angrily slammed the memorial in his hand on the table with an angry face.

After careful consideration, he finally keenly saw the crux of the problem.

At this moment, he just woke up from his dream and deeply realized that he was really cheated by the stepmother.

Because in such a difficult and complicated situation, no matter who takes the position first, he is destined to bear heavy responsibilities and infamy;

On the contrary, the longer it is delayed, the better the situation may be as time goes by.

When the chaos is about to end, Empress Wu can remove herself on the grounds that the regent is not good, and then come out to pick peaches.
