Chapter 374: Chapter 311: Prophecy: The Female Warrior Conquers the King
Translator: 549690339
Faced with the Emperor’s obstinacy, some even brought up a prophecy coined by the guiding mentor during his late years of Emperor Taizong’s reign: “When the Tang is weak, a female warrior will command the king.” This prophecy was referring precisely to Wu Zhaoyi.
After this prophecy, the whole matter was stalled indefinitely. Even the Emperor could not ignore it as it contradicted the general trend.
However, when everyone thought the matter would end there, Wu Zhaoyi stepped forward, asserting that since the prophecy pertained to her, she would willingly abandon her Martial Arts foundation, proving her resolution.
In this world where Martial Arts thrive, even the ruler of the imperial court is not necessarily required to possess absolute power, but they must not be too weak either.
Her decision to abandon her Martial Arts foundation and sever the path to the Heavenly Rank effectively silenced all her opponents. The Emperor, taking advantage of the situation, elevated her to the role of Empress.
Thus, all matters were settled.
“I never thought, those hypocritical monks would cunningly offer her a divine medicine to win the favor of the Emperor and Empress. Not only did the medicine replenish her Martial Arts foundation, but it also helped her break through to the Heavenly Rank.” Ye Daoyuan’s eyes were full of resentment.
After proclaiming itself as the ancestor of Taoism, the Great Tang Empire designated the Taoist School as the state religion, altering the flourishing Brahman Gate in the previous dynasty. The power of the Brahman Gate was significantly suppressed under the new dynasty.
The Brahman Gate did not take this lying down; they seized this opportunity to align themselves with those in power, and offered their precious divine medicine. The Emperor, feeling indebted to the Empress for her sacrifice, turned a blind eye.
Afterward, with the Empress’s support, the Brahman Gate started to become more active, competing for status with the Taoist School. If it weren’t for the backing of the imperial family and the court, the Brahman Gate might have flourished again.
