Chapter 1

"I didn't expect that our Beiqing History College would also have such a grand scene!"

"That's great! This Wu Luoyun is so lucky. Not only does she have Mr. Li to act with her, but she also has a large group of veteran actors from the drama school as extras!"

"How lucky you are. This is the scene where Wu Zhao was opposed by the ministers to ascend the throne. It can be said that he was humiliated!"

"Look, Changsun Wuji, played by Mr. Li, is starting to talk again!"

Beiqing History College, on the large performance stage.

Li Mu, who was wearing a vermilion official uniform, took a step forward, holding the memorial in his hand high, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.

"Queen, the late emperor's last wish was for you to tutor the prince, not for you to proclaim the emperor on his behalf!"

As soon as these words came out, many professors who played the role of ministers agreed.

Wu Luoyun wore a yellow robe embroidered with dragon patterns and a gold and jade leather belt with thirteen rings, looking extremely luxurious.

At this moment, she was sitting on the dragon chair with her pupils blurred. Only when she heard what Li Mu said did her eyes slowly focus.

His brows were slightly condensed, looking at everything familiar and unfamiliar in front of him, Wu Luoyun raised his slender fingers slightly and placed them between his brows, and messy memories poured into his mind like a tide.

She seemed to have had a dream. In the dream, she was Emperor Wu and Queen Wu Zhao. In a word, she was invincible.

But in reality, she is just a female college student in the history department who is over [-] years old. Because of her good looks, she plays the role of the queen who ascends the throne and is ridiculed by the officials.

Now, as Changsun Wuji, played by Li Mu, a history professor at Beiqing University, speaks, the front-end climax has begun.

"Huh... was everything just a dream?"

Wu Luoyun raised his head and stared ahead. Everywhere he looked, there were solemn-looking ministers dressed in red official robes.

Looking left and right, there were densely packed figures sitting around like a tide, all eyes focused on him.

Seeing Wu Luoyun's dazed expression, Li Mu frowned and raised his voice a bit:

"Queen! The throne of the Tang Dynasty has always been passed down from male to female. This is the rule set by our ancestors. Now that the late emperor has passed away, you, Wu Mei, are eager to ascend the throne. What do you want to do!"

Hearing this, the familiar murderous intention surrounded Wu Luoyun's heart. She looked at Li Mu who spoke out, and a touch of anger involuntarily rose in her heart.

Even if she didn't understand the current situation, the empress' long-standing majesty was unquestionable, and she immediately shouted in a deep voice: "Presumptuous!"

Slapping hard on the dragon chair with one hand, Wu Luoyun stood up slowly, her voice was smooth and crisp, and her face showed no anger or authority.

"Rules? There is an ancient rule for earthen jar graves. Those who are over sixty and unable to serve the country will be buried alive!"

"There is even a practice of burying people alive!"

After the words fell, under the steps of the dragon chair, the people standing on both sides were stunned and looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

In their script, it seems that Wu Luoyun does not have this sentence.

Their gazes all fell on Li Mu, who was the leader in front of them. He was the initiator of this event. He didn't speak, so naturally no one would speak.

At this time, Wu Luoyun's phoenix eyes fell on the ministers. Based on their positions, she naturally knew the size of the official position. Even if she didn't know who the other party was, she could still distinguish the role played by the official position.

Wu Luoyun stood with his hands behind his back, "Master Changsun is now over sixty. If we follow the previous rules, wouldn't he have to be buried alive on the ground?"

"Queen, this is serious!" Li Mu held the memorial in his hand and frowned.

"Seriously?" Wu Luoyun sneered, with a cold look on her face, "You don't think about how you will be healthy due to the difficulties on the border, but you are very energetic in engaging in affairs between men and women!" "In my eyes, women have been since ancient times. Having a humble status and being unable to claim the title of emperor is not a rule, but a bad habit. Why not abolish it!"

Whoa!
The scene was in an uproar. No one could believe that Wu Luoyun, who was like a little white rabbit before, dared to openly confront Li Mu on such an occasion.

As if he knew what they were thinking in their hearts, Wu Luoyun's expression suddenly softened: "The death of the late emperor is really not a blessing to our Tang Dynasty."

"But a country cannot be without a king for a day. As the mother of a country, she should be the mother of the world. The prince is young, so he cannot guarantee that he will not be looked down upon by foreigners when he becomes emperor."

"Therefore, I will act as regent on behalf of the emperor. The prince will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor when he reaches sixteen years old. Do you have any objections, sirs?"

Many people in the audience began to whisper. Although Wu Luoyun's sudden addition to the scene was a bit surprising to them, they were all historical figures and could easily catch up.

Just as Wu Luoyun finished speaking, a minister actor with white temples walked out, saluted, and then said: "The late emperor's last wish is for the prince to succeed to the throne."

"Queen, what you do is against the law!"

After saying that, he put the memorial in his hand aside, knelt down on his knees, bowed his head and said, "I beg the Queen to allow His Highness the Crown Prince to succeed to the throne!"

There was only one person left to stand next to Changsun Wuji.

Chu Suiliang, the Duke of Henan and a great calligrapher, was an official of the first rank!
As the veteran actor from the drama school knelt down, many people also stood up skillfully and knelt down in the same manner.

"I beg the Queen to allow His Highness the Crown Prince to succeed to the throne!"

Wu Luoyun nodded. A familiar scene happened, which made her raise the corner of her mouth. She turned around and approached the throne, speaking in a gentle voice: "The last wish of the late emperor must be abided by by this queen."

"But the Khitan is watching with eager eyes and sends hundreds of thousands of troops to Xi'an City. What the Tang Dynasty wants now is a wise king to fight the Khitan decisively."

"Although His Royal Highness is of the bloodline of Tianlong, he is still young. If he succeeds to the throne, how can he shoulder such an important responsibility?"

Li Mu took another step forward and knelt down as well: "But after all, this throne was left to His Highness the Crown Prince by the late Emperor Mi, and there has never been such a precedent for a woman to succeed to the throne!"

"This is against etiquette and law, let alone the general order!"

"This queen has set a precedent today!" Wu Luoyun's eyes were cold and he turned around suddenly, "When I succeed to the throne, I should make the world understand that if a man can do anything in this world, a woman can do the same!"

"Who said that women are inferior to men? If it is impossible to disobey the destiny, I will be the one on top of my head!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent.

If Wu Luoyun suddenly added the drama before, it could be said to be reasonable and unexpected.

But as the words fell now, coupled with Wu Luoyun's aura, it was really too domineering.

That kind of domineering and invincible attitude seemed to declare that she was an emperor.

Not only the veteran actors and professors performing there, but also the many student audiences in the audience held their breath and looked at Wu Luoyun quietly.

They have only seen people who play emperors in movies and TV series. They have never seen them in reality, and they have no idea what a real emperor is like.

Now what Wu Luoyun performed made them unanimously agree that this woman is the real Wu Zetian, the Wu Zhao!

Wu Luoyun's eyes were deep, and she was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at all the living beings in front of her.

"My lords, I would like to ask you one last time. Do you want to witness the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty with me?"

"Still, I want to witness the decline of the Tang Dynasty with the prince!"
