Chapter 30: This Woman Could Be Interested in Me?
"In that case, I will confer titles on the four of them as princesses."
"If you say so, I will appoint you as the regent, grant you the nine gifts, and let you take charge of the government affairs and rule the country with me. How do you think?"
Wu Zetian looked at Jiang Mingche and asked with a smile.
This was a decision she made after careful consideration. Apart from being the regent, she really couldn't think of any other reward.
By doing this, she was simply handing over her imperial power to Jiang Mingche.
However, she is not afraid that Jiang Mingche will usurp the throne, as Jiang Mingche does not have the strength to do so now.
If the other party's cultivation level surpasses hers in the future and he still wants to be the emperor, it is not impossible for her to simply abdicate and let him take over.
Anyway, she was tired of being the emperor. Dealing with a lot of political affairs every day left her with no time to practice.
If it weren't for the time wasted dealing with government affairs every day, her strength would have recovered to the peak of Star Glory long ago.
The title of the world's greatest genius in magic is not just talk.
What's more, as the empress of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian had the blessing of the country's luck, so her cultivation was twice as effective with half the effort.
And she could also see that Jiang Mingche had no interest in the court.
"Your Majesty, I cannot possibly take on such a heavy responsibility..." Jiang Mingche was also frightened by Wu Zetian's shocking words.
Regent? Grant the Nine Gifts? Take charge of the government? My goodness, you just said that handing over the Tang Dynasty to the emperor is a big deal.
With these rights, what can't he do?
"No, of course you are qualified. No one is more suitable for the position of regent than you." Wu Zetian shook her head and said.
"But Your Majesty..."
"You don't have to say anything. I have made up my mind. It's decided this way." Wu Zetian said in an unquestionable tone and did not give Jiang Mingche too much chance to refuse.
Today, the Tang Dynasty is thriving under her governance. She did this to delegate some government affairs to Jiang Mingche so that she would have more time to practice.
After coming out of the imperial study, Jiang Mingche was still a little confused.
"Regent, bestowed with nine gifts, in charge of state affairs... Could it be that this woman has fallen in love with me..." Jiang Mingche touched his cheek and muttered to himself in a somewhat random manner.
Although it is true that Wu Zetian was the ruler of a country, she was also a woman.
And as far as he knew, although Wu Zetian looked very young, she was almost thirty years old, and was at the age of being as vigorous as a wolf and a tiger...As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Mingche felt a surge of overwhelming pressure coming from the imperial study...
Jiang Mingche's scalp went numb and he left the imperial study in a hurry. What a mistake. He didn't expect that his nonsense would be heard by Wu Zetian.
Would this woman be angry and take revenge on him? After leaving Daming Palace, Jiang Mingche saw Hua Mulan and Jia Luo who were eagerly waiting outside the city gate.
"Husband, you're back..." Seeing Jiang Mingche coming out of the palace gate, Jialuo and Hua Mulan walked straight to Jiang Mingche.
"Have you been waiting for me here?" Jiang Mingche asked in surprise.
"Ah."
"Why don't you go home first?" Jiang Mingche asked with some confusion.
"We don't know where your home is. And since it's your first time going back, it's better to go back with you..." Jialuo said nervously.
Although Jiang Mingche had said before that Ali was a very considerate and kind girl, the two girls couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this time.
"Then let's go back together, you don't have to be nervous..." After comforting Jialuo and Hua Mulan, Jiang Mingche took them directly to the carriage and headed towards his own palace.
"My dear husband, what did the empress say to you when she called you to the imperial study?"
In the carriage, Jialuo peeled a grape and put it into Jiang Mingche's mouth, asking curiously, while Hua Mulan rubbed Jiang Mingche's shoulders in the back.
Jiang Mingche rested his head on Hua Mulan's thigh, his eyes slightly narrowed. While eating grapes, his big hands wandered restlessly...
"It's nothing, just appointing me as the regent and granting me the nine gifts..." Jiang Mingche said lazily.
"Regent?" After hearing Jiang Mingche's words, Jialuo and Hua Mulan looked at each other in confusion.
No one expected that Wu Zetian would give such a great reward to Jiang Mingche.
Isn't this equivalent to directly handing over the entire Tang Dynasty to others?
"Why did His Majesty appoint you as the regent? There shouldn't be any unspeakable secrets between you two." Mulan asked suspiciously, looking extremely suspicious.
She didn't know whether others could do such a thing, but she knew that Jiang Mingche could definitely do it.
After all, this guy has no moral integrity at all...and other than this, she really can't think of any other reason.
If Jiang Mingche was not someone extremely close to Wu Zetian, how could the other party give this position to Jiang Mingche?
As far as she knew, the current empress had no relatives, and it was obvious that Jiang Mingche was not a relative of Wu Zetian, so this was the only possibility left.
"Don't talk nonsense, we are innocent." After hearing what Hua Mulan said, Jiang Mingche shuddered for no reason.
I recalled the terrifying pressure from Wu Zetian when I was talking to myself outside the imperial study.
"She was attracted by my extremely terrifying cultivation speed, and also because I made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty this time, so she conferred the title on me." Jiang Mingche pondered for a while and said slowly.
Although he never said it out loud, Jiang Mingche knew it clearly in his heart.
The reason why Wu Zetian always valued me was simply because she was impressed by my terrifying cultivation speed and the secrets I held.
Giving himself such great power is nothing more than wanting to tie himself to the Tang Dynasty, so that he can protect the people of the Tang Dynasty when the war of the gods breaks out again.
Although Wu Zetian had never told him explicitly, how could he not know?
From the moment he accepted Wu Zetian's appointment as General Tiance, his fate was completely tied to that of the Tang Dynasty.
However, Jiang Mingche did not regret it in his heart. After all, the taste of power was too tempting.
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. As a prince of the Tang Dynasty, he is also the general of Tiance and will be the regent in the future. It is his duty and obligation to protect the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Although he didn't want to be an emperor, the feeling of being second only to the emperor and loved by all the people was really great.
Moreover, Wu Zetian was extremely beautiful and charming...
Humph, when this prince’s cultivation level improves in the future, I will make this arrogant woman kneel down and sing “Conquer”.
Just thinking about that scene, Jiang Mingche was excited. Let the elegant empress lie on the dragon throne and be whipped...
