Chapter 516: The veteran goes on the march
After Helan Minzhi arrived in the capital, Wu Mei was full of praise for this nephew, and once joked that if her nephew wore women's clothes, he would compare all the women in the palace.
It was originally a compliment, but it was particularly harsh to Wu Shun's ears, and he felt that his sister was deliberate, praising the child for being good-looking, and said bluntly, why did he still scold his child for not being a man?
And what happened later was even more unbearable for Wu Mei, Helan Min's nature was debauched, and even a little perverted and distorted, men, women and children ate everything, and her reputation was extremely poor. But Wu Shun didn't think so, she felt that her son had become a plaything for the Li family and the Wu family when he came to the capital, and he hadn't received enough attention at all.
Wu Mei wanted to drive her sister out of the palace because Li Hong was not close to her. And Wu Shun also fought for his son, and his hatred for his sister grew.
Therefore, those who ridicule other people's children have no friends, and this is not the case with their own sisters.
A fire broke out in Wu Mei's backyard, and there was never any opposition in the previous dynasty. On this morning, Han Ming, who strongly opposed Wu Mei as the queen, wrote again to avenge Chu Suiliang.
"Your Majesty, in the past, the ministers resolutely opposed it, but Your Majesty still treated it leniently and still stayed in the court." Han Ying said loudly: "But Lord Chu Suiliang is so wronged, he is just the first person to oppose Empress Wu, he was expelled from the capital, and now he is farming and teaching in his hometown for a living. A generation of famous ministers, but ended up so miserable, the ministers were unconvinced! ”
Li Zhi was silent, and Wu Mei, who was sitting next to him, did not make any claims. Instead, he looked back at Yuan Ziyan, but Yuan Ziyan shook his head gently, Wu Mei understood.
"Lord Han. This matter is all caused by the main palace. Lord Chu is returning to his hometown, not because His Majesty intends to make things difficult, how can he talk about grievances? Wu Mei smiled.
Han Ying didn't look down on Wu Mei in the first place, so she turned her face and snorted: "The minister is asking about Your Majesty, not the Empress!" ”
"Your Majesty is deaf and clear-sighted, and he is above the court, how can he not hear Lord Han's words?" Wu Mei smiled again: "Lord Chu is old. I have already submitted my resignation many times, and I have heard that Lord Chu is building bridges and paving roads in his hometown to teach and educate people. is comfortable, it should be a good year, and Lord Han is really worried. ”
"Queen!" Han Ying said angrily: "If that's the case, the minister will also return to his hometown!" ”
You?!
Li Zhi was a little angry. was held down by Wu Mei. slapped it lightly twice, and said with a smile: "Lord Han is angry, you are in the prime of life, and you should be loyal to the country, so you will return to your hometown, and those who know that they have offended the queen, and those who do not know think that Your Majesty is biased in slander, which makes the loyal ministers cold." ”
Han Ying choked for a moment. Empress Wu's mouth is really powerful, obviously it is her own reason. How did she get here, and if she resigned, she would become unfaithful?
Han Ying was still in a daze, only to see Wu Mei get up, look around, and said calmly: "Ministers, this country is the Li family's country, and the palace is also the daughter-in-law of the Li family, and your lords are loyal to the Li family's court, so why bother the palace?" If any of you can say that this palace has done something that has harmed the country and the people, there is no need for His Majesty to give poisoned wine and white silk, as long as the evidence is conclusive, this palace will never survive until tomorrow. ”
All the ministers closed their mouths, and Yuan Ziyan also said dissatisfiedly behind the curtain: "Now that the dust has settled on the affairs of the Empress Wu, the ministers should work together and stop wasting their energy on the established facts." Now, the Western Turkic Shabaluo Khan has reneged on the covenant and invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty. ”
Yuan Ziyan successfully changed the topic, and the generals were excited, peaceful and prosperous, all idle long hair, although the official position was enough, but when talking to people, he always felt that he was not tough, as if he was taking the court for nothing.
Especially a character like Cheng Biting Jin, unlike Li Tao, who accounts for everything in civil and martial arts, whether it is leading troops to fight a war or governing the country, he is all good.
Therefore, as soon as he heard Yuan Ziyan say this, Cheng Yanjin's eyes immediately lit up, and he stepped forward excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to be a pioneer and share worries for Your Majesty!" ”
The advantage of listening to politics is that people outside can't see their expressions, and the disadvantage is actually this. The Tang Dynasty is prosperous and has strong military strength, and there is no problem in winning the war, and the test of success lies in whether it can fight beautifully and shorten the combat time.
There are not many generals of the older generation left, and Li Tao can't leave the court, but Cheng Yanjin went out by himself, and Yuan Ziyan was still a little uneasy.
"Biting gold, you have a lot of credit, let's give the opportunity to the young people." Yuan Ziyan persuaded him.
Cheng was unwilling, but Sister Ziyan was still willing to listen to Sister Ziyan's words, and was about to retreat, but at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the National Teacher, Old General Cheng should be strong and strong, according to the minister's opinion, only Old General Cheng can deter the Turks and make them frightened, and the rest of the small rebels will also flee from the wind." ”
"Hehe, thank you, Lord Eldest Sun." Cheng Bingjin happily arched his hand.
Yuan Ziyan felt that things were too abnormal, the eldest grandson Wuji turned against each other and actually spoke for his own people, some people may think that the eldest grandson Wuji is showing favor or scolding Yuan Ziyan, but things will definitely not be so simple.
Obviously, Wu Mei thought about things simply, and suggested with a smile: "Your Majesty, with General Cheng personally going out, why worry about the rebellion?" ”
Li Zhi immediately ordered Cheng Yanjin to be the general of the Left Guard, and also inspected the soldiers and horses of the camp of the school, and appointed him as the general manager of the march of the Green Mountain Road to crusade against the Western Turks.
Cheng Yanjin was in high spirits and happily accepted the order, saying that he would not repel the Western Turks and swear not to return to the court! The generals were encouraged, emotional, and enthusiastic, and responded one after another. Li Zhi was very happy, and suddenly found the feeling that his father was like a cloud of warriors and a majestic posture.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Wu Mei found that Yuan Ziyan's face was not quite right, and asked cautiously: "Mother-in-law, but I said the wrong thing today?" ”
Hey, Yuan Ziyan sighed slightly, and said with a solemn expression: "Paulie, I have repeatedly emphasized to you, don't be in a hurry to perform for a while, you still haven't understood the meaning. ”
"I want to hear about it!" Wu Mei hurriedly said respectfully.
"The eldest grandson Wuji and I are mortal enemies, and we can't become friends in this life, knowing that Cheng Yanjin is commensurate with my sister and brother, why did he stand up for him?"
"I also have some doubts, but the eldest grandson Wuji is also a minister of the Three Dynasties, how can he take the military drama?" Wu Mei asked incredulously.
"Why do monks have to meditate? In order to be calm, the eldest grandson has no wind and waves, and even abnormal, there are many incomprehensible actions, you and I have to be more careful. Yuan Ziyan admonished.
"What should I do now?" Wu Mei asked worriedly.
"I will go and tell Cheng to bite Jin, as long as I win this battle, I will immediately return to the court." Yuan Ziyan said.
Afterwards, Yuan Ziyan found Cheng Yanjin as soon as possible, analyzed the benefits and disadvantages, and asked him not to be greedy for merit, especially to be careful of villains. Cheng Yanjin is not stupid, knowing that he is the one who is wary of the eldest grandson Wuji, he repeatedly assured Yuan Ziyan that he would wipe his eyes bright and promise not to disappoint his sister, Yuan Ziyan felt a little relieved.
At present, the situation in the imperial court is beginning to favor Yuan Ziyan's side, which has both advantages and disadvantages, that is, Yuan Ziyan is completely in the light, but the activities of the eldest grandson Wuji and others are in the dark.
On this day, the eldest grandson Wuji could not help but sigh for a long time, at this time he no longer had a comrade-in-arms of comparable strength, so he had to hand over some work to his son to deal with.
"Father, today you are in the court for Cheng Jin's beautiful words, I don't know what you mean?" The eldest grandson asked puzzled.
"Cheng Yanjin is simple-minded, easy to make mistakes, there are still many things to say, not to mention that there are many variables on the battlefield, and with a little action, it will definitely make his horse stumble, and then he will also remove Yuan Ziyan's arm." The eldest grandson Wuji said without concealment.
Changsun Chong was a little surprised, his father was loyal and patriotic, and he could see it for all to see, what is the matter now, he actually said such a thing, Changsun Chong was so frightened that he closed the doors and windows, and said in a low voice: "Father, how can you say such a rebellious remark, if you are heard by the people of the national teacher, I am afraid that there will be a disaster all over the house!" ”
Hey, the eldest grandson Wuji sighed, kept shaking his head, and said after a while: "It's not a fool to be a father, but now that the eldest grandson clan is beginning to fall, Yuan Ziyan Wumei controls the court and the back court, and it is difficult to have a place for his father. If he commits suicide for his father and does not leave him alive, His Majesty will definitely not pursue you and others, at least he will not kill on a large scale. ”
"Father!" The eldest grandson fell to his knees and choked with tears: "It's all because the son is incompetent, and he can't share his father's worries." ”
"Hey, Chong'er, the eldest grandson's family is about to run out, and it is also for his father's negligence, don't remember today's lesson, he will shine on the lintel of the family every day!" The eldest grandson Wuji spoke seriously, and the eldest grandson nodded again and again.
"Father, the two armies are at war, and my father can't interfere in the military, how can I make Cheng bite the golden horse and stumble?" Eldest Sun Chong thought of a key question: "If we and others are placed, it will definitely attract the attention of the national teacher, and it will be easy to leak secrets in the future." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand, frowning slightly, it seems that his son's IQ needs to be exercised, and the question is too superficial: "How can you be a person who is your own cronies, as long as you can go against Cheng Yanjin." ”
"Father is saying that he wants to cause chaos from within?"
"Exactly, you have to be greedy, and it's better to have no dealings with me and others."
The eldest grandson Wuji's suggestion made the eldest grandson rush to the mouth and promised to handle the matter well, and then reported another matter, that is, he has often been in contact with Helan Minzhi recently, and his tone seems to be a little dissatisfied with changing his surname to Wu, and this person is lustful and greedy for money, and likes to make friends with powerful people.
The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes lit up, this is the person he liked, and he immediately took out another silver ticket and handed it to his son, all of which was used to win over Helan Minzhi to see if he could get valuable information from his mouth, and then give Wu Mei a sudden blow.
