After meeting with the two old ministers of the Tang family, the pace of preparation was a little faster.

Previously, Li Tong still had a bit of a sense of fighting alone, and the relevant personnel arrangements were not too obvious, for fear that people would see the clues.

But as the consensus was reached, Li Zhaode and Di Renjie also entered. Each of them has a relatively mature force to call upon in the current situation, and although most of them will not know the real scheme, as long as they are operational, they can receive a good mixed effect.

The world will not revolve around a few people, and if the things planned by Li Tong and others are successful, of course, they can affect the course of the entire world. But before everything was launched, it was just a small inconspicuous wave in the treacherous Divine Capital City.

Now in the court of the divine capital, there are four major events going on at the same time.

The first is naturally Wu Zetian's long-awaited Zen ceremony, at this time the momentum has entered a very lively stage, in addition to the formal debate on etiquette matters in the court, the petitions of various demons and monsters among the people are also endless.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the heir of King Wu of Wei. Wu Chengsi was unusually low-key in this matter, or in the entire situation, neither participating in the affairs of petitioning for the confession, nor trying to interfere in the court situation, so low-key that he had almost no sense of existence.

In the original history, Wu Chenghe's life history was to enter the current situation as the heir of the Wu family with the death of Helan Minzhi. And his people really became active, or after Li Xian was deposed and Li Dan ascended the throne, he entered the dynasty as the spring official of the Ministry of Rites, and began to build momentum for the Wu Zhou Dynasty and Tang.

From the early years of the vertical arch to the longevity years, Wu Chenghei has always been in a high position, and there are two main deeds to observe, one is to build momentum for his aunt, and the other is to Li Wu to seize the heir. Of course, Li Wu seems to be fighting for the throne for Wu Chenghei, but in fact, it is still for Wu Zetian to eliminate dissidents.

During the longevity years, Li Zhaode fought Wu Chenghei out of the court, which made Li Wu's succession temporarily come to an end. However, with the outbreak of the imperial heir's rebellion, Wu Zetian engaged in a set of tricks to re-order in order to strengthen his monarchy, and Wu Chenghei was still extremely active in this process, and almost all kinds of petition activities were led by him.

This state lasted until the outbreak of the Yingzhou Rebellion, and Wu Chenghei and even the entire martial arts family ushered in a big turning point in their lives. Wu Chenghei not only revisited the prime minister, but almost half of the world's armor soldiers were in the hands of the kings of the Wu clan and were in charge of the conquest matters.

But this short-term highlight not only buried the stability of the people in Hebei, but also buried the possibility of the martial arts family looking for a big position. And Wu Chengsi also ushered in a major blow, that is, the return of Li Xian, the king of Luling, to the capital, and since then he has been depressed.

Wu Chenghe's life can be said to be a tool man who has always lived in a false illusion, but this is not sad, after all, he has enjoyed glory and wealth, and he has also experienced tossing and delusion, and he can still wake up when he is dying, and he has not been a fool.

But now, due to Li Tong's presence in the current situation, Wu Chengsi has woken up earlier than in the original history.

Especially after the mansion was smashed by Li Tong, Wu Zetian not only did not compensate him, but also turned Wu Sansi in the spare tire into a regular and entered the court as the prime minister, which also made Wu Chengsi completely see his aunt's coldness.

At present, Wu Chenghei has a bit of a taste of desirelessness and rigidity, and he no longer fantasizes that he can enter the unification, but at first glance he looks like a normal person. Not long before, Li Tong's family attended another family banquet convened by his grandmother in the forbidden middle school, and when the lieutenant official personally invited him, Wu Chengsi still refused to attend on the grounds of illness.

This kind of withdrawn and resentful attitude certainly made Wu Zetian dissatisfied, but he didn't take Wu Chenghei seriously because of this.

After all, waste is waste, staying there is always a move, and the impact of Wu Chengsi's active performance before and after the revolution on the current situation is not something that the current Wu Sansi can replace.

But it is also the same that there is no butcher Zhang and no hairy pigs, although Wu Chengsi no longer acts, but Wu Sansi and other kings still make all kinds of activities of Feng Chan petition impressive.

This incident also greatly involved Wu Sansi's energy, so that he could not increase his pressure on the acting king based on his previous results.

The second thing is to choose the moon and winter set, which is presided over by Zhang Xi, the former heavenly official who has just paid homage to the prime minister. In last year's winter gathering, due to Zheng Gao's cooperation, Li Tong gained great convenience and installed his own people in many key positions. But this year, there is no such convenience.

Zhang Xi is Li Qiao's uncle, and his relationship with Li Tong was not bad, and he even regretted that his daughter was not selected as the acting princess. But this kind of scene rhetoric, just listen to it.

At the beginning of the election of the month, Li Tong wanted to give Shangguan Wan'er's uncle Zheng Xiuyuan an idle position through the heavenly officials of the Ministry of Officials, so that he could settle down in the Shendu. This Zheng Xiuyuan was led from Xijing to Shendu by Li Tong, and he had already recognized Shangguan Wan'er's mother and daughter in the palace, and his life situation was quite unsatisfactory.

Even if you don't talk about the friendship that is too far, just when Li Tong has not returned to the capital, when Xue Huaiyi is in trouble, Shangguan Wan'er reminded the princess that she did not let Princess Taiping play on the topic, and Li Tong also had to express it.

This Zheng Xiuyuan was born in the ancestral house of the Zheng family in Xingyang, after Li Tong saw it, he knew that he also had some talent for poetry and books, after all, life was unhappy, and the commotion was getting longer, although the specific things remained to be seen, but it was still possible to hold an idle position in Lintai and the two museums and receive a piece of Lu rice.

But after Li Tong handed over the book, there was no news for several days, and when he asked about it, he realized that he was stuck with Prime Minister Zhang Xi.

Zhang Xi replied politely, saying that the gift of the election is a major event of the country, and as long as Zheng Xiuyuan participates in the election normally, he will definitely arrange a pavilion for him. But in fact, to put it bluntly, I just don't want to give you this convenience.

When arranging the future of his nephew Li Qiao, Zhang Xi no longer paid attention to fairness and strictness, and directly used the convenience of the prime minister to recommend Li Qiao as the young eunuch of Lintai in the political affairs hall, and worked with Li Tong's father-in-law Zheng Rong, of course, the purpose was to seize the credit of this round of public opinion building in Fengchan Songshan.

If according to the normal development of events, Li Qiao will stay in the position of the young eunuch of Lintai for a few years, plus Feng Chan Xugong, and the next step will be to directly enter the political hall as the prime minister, and the prestige is enough.

Li Tong was not polite to Zhang Xi, Li Qiao entered Lintai with the front foot, and he took Zheng Xiuyuan to Li Qiao's mansion with the back foot and recommended it in person. Li Qiao was forced to be helpless, and summoned Zheng Xiuyuan as the secretary of the Lintai School, which can be regarded as officially entering the Qing product sequence.

Zheng Rong can do this kind of thing, but Li Tong deliberately went to Li Qiao, of course, just to slap Zhang Xi in the face. It's not really meaningful, but it's enjoyable.

He is now looking at the goods in the political affairs hall, and the more he looks at it, the more unpleasant it becomes, and when Lao Tzu succeeds in doing things, the first thing is to reorganize the political affairs hall!

In recent years, the imperial court's finances have been in a state of waiting for rice to be cooked, and taxes and tributes from all over the country have entered the capital, which is also the top priority of administrative affairs in a year, and concerns the hearts of all the courtiers.

This year's autumn tax into the capital also involves one thing, that is, to test the effectiveness of the water transportation.

Li Tong did not have much expectation for this, and the reform of Caoyun, a major event that is closely related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, should not be expected to be short-term, and the reform that can achieve remarkable results within the year will be a successful reform.

As for the initial stage, as long as the decrees can be carried out normally and do not cause major social unrest, it is already very good. After all, where there is reform, some redundant parts of the old system will definitely be abolished, and the related interest chain will definitely change, and a variable should be set aside to deal with the relevant counterattack.

This year is only the beginning, and many important decrees have not yet been formally implemented in the prefectures and counties, and it is necessary for the prefectures and the state to gather and bring together the envoys to the capital to discuss and determine a major plan that can not only cover the overall situation, but also take into account the actual situation of each prefecture and adapt measures to local conditions.

However, because the Canal Pond Reform had already brought a very considerable amount of income to the Imperial Court, and the Imperial Court had not implemented any serious matters aimed at improving the national economy in recent years, Shiliu had great expectations for this.

There is another thing related to the autumn tax into the capital, that is, the kings enter the capital together with the national tax tax. This is related to the tangible interests of each family, and the kings of the martial arts family are naturally very concerned about this. The banquet held in the forbidden place not long ago was also the royal family's farewell to the Holy Emperor and their return to their respective residences.

Li Tong knew that the palace would not be at ease in the future, so he also planned to take this opportunity to lure his family out and return to Jishanfang's home. However, the acting princess Zheng rejected this proposal and expressed her willingness to continue to stay in the palace.

"His Royal Highness is Zongzhi Shaoyong, a famous king in the sea, although the concubine does not know what is difficult to think of going to Tiannan, but it is expected that His Royal Highness is by no means ambitious and afraid of evil. The women in the court can't share the labor and big things, but only hope to share the blessings and woes, and donate a small amount of money. At this time, returning home may be convenient for living, but it is inevitable that His Highness will be distracted. Rather than this, it is better to entrust the Holy Emperor to protect him, and His Highness can focus on things, and then go or stay, and wait for a word......"

Hearing the princess's answer, Li Tong couldn't help but sigh for a while. It's not that he can't trust the princess, but if he confides in what he is planning, it is too shocking, and telling his family only adds to the horror.

But the princess is smart, even if Li Tong doesn't say it, she should be able to guess it. After all, when he left the capital before, he had already revealed some details of personnel arrangements to the princess.

"The demonic atmosphere is rampant in Jinai, and the artifact is hidden. Although I have the potential of vanity for the time being, the people at home and abroad are panicking, and I really can't expect my family to stay quiet. In the past, people were soft-spoken, but they only admired and gived, but now they have accumulated courage, and they should fight hard at home and in the country. Success or failure, this life should be able to live and die together, I hope the princess understands! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Li Tong did not insist on taking his family back to the palace. Once something happens, the manpower he has at his disposal will be concentrated in the northern ya, in order to be able to control Ouchi as soon as possible. In such a situation, there is really no room to take care of the residence.

Although Nanya also has a right Jin Wuwei Tang Xian to echo, but in terms of overall strength, Li Tong is not superior in Nanya, and he is far from trusting Di Renjie and others to family affairs, and he knows very well in his heart that they may have left more than one hand with each other.

Although the main target of this coup d'état is the kings of the Wu family, it is not a game between Li Tong and these old ministers of the Tang family. Although the current situation is far less complicated than during the Shenlong Revolution, for Li Tong, it is still too dangerous.

If the family members stay in the palace, it is true that they will inevitably be disturbed by swords, but as long as Li Tong can quickly enter the palace to control the situation, Anshang is guaranteed.

If he can't even do this, his own life will not be guaranteed, and whether his family stays in the workshop or the palace, there will be no difference. There is also a possibility that even if he successfully controls the forbidden middle, he was stolen by Nanya, which will also be very disadvantageous to the next game.

Of course, there is another reason why Li Tong is willing to let his family stay in the palace, that is, during the time of returning to the capital, he also found that the princess has quite prestige among the palace people.

The main thing is the death of the Xu family, when the princess faced the saint, she tried to get the Holy Emperor to order the cool officials such as Junchen to withdraw from the inner push courtyard, which made the solemn and terrifying atmosphere in the palace one of them.

If you can make good use of this power, at least before Li Tong enters the palace, you can provide a certain guarantee for the safety of your family. Of course, when he was about to make a plan, he would also make some arrangements, such as Yang Siqiao staying in the palace and summoning the musicians of Yunshao Mansion to provide protection in Renzhi Yuan.

"The concubine is in the palace, and His Royal Highness doesn't need to worry. However, His Highness walks outside, and he must cherish this body. Clothes can be protected from wind and frost in cold weather. ”

The princess cherished the winter clothes she had cut by herself and folded them into the cage, and told Lego to remind Her Royal Highness to add clothes on time.

After Li Tong returned to the palace, he cut off his winter coat and pulled out a drawing inside. This is a defense map of the Inner Palace, and the relevant drawings are also preserved in the palace province, and they have already been stolen by Li Tong a few days ago.

However, compared with the provincial map of the palace, the one provided by the princess is more detailed, and some of the walls, secret passages and even the entire palace hidden in many palace buildings are not covered by the provincial map of the palace.

Look at the Juanxiu font marked with small characters, it should be painted by the princess herself, and it is indicated that it is drawn in combination with the information provided by the palace people.

Li Tong read this drawing carefully, and couldn't help but feel that there is a big momentum, a big one, a small one, and a small one.

With such a drawing in his hand, as long as he can control the Xuanwu Gate, then the entire Imperial Palace Ouchi will be like a sieve for him, full of loopholes, and he can minimize the error of his subsequent actions. It may even be possible to catch a hole card before the Nanya users and surprise them.

The fourth major event in the DPRK and China is the case of the emperor's rebellion, which has lasted from the first half of the year to the present. Whether the emperor's heir is against it or not, this does not need to be proven, it is just an excuse for punishment.

So far, more than a dozen companies have been implicated in the case and ambushed. There are not only prominent families such as Dongguan Shangshu Su Gan, but also people who Li Tong can't even name and have long since declined.

seems to have achieved remarkable results, but in fact, Li Tong understands that although Guan Longxungui is greatly injured, it is still deep-rooted. This group spanned more than 100 years, throughout the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties, although it also experienced the survival of the fittest, but it is still extremely tenacious.

It can be said that Guan Longxungui flourished with the government military system, but until the government military system collapsed in the Kaiyuan period, they were still able to maintain their influence on the current situation until before and after the Anshi Rebellion.

It was not until the formation of the new order in the Middle and Tang Dynasties that the famous families of Shandong came to the top with the help of the imperial examination, and the eunuchs took advantage of the grace to control the abolition, and the local towns were divided and the heroes rose together, and the living space of Guan Longxun was squeezed out.

It is not so much that Guan Longxungui is the foundation of the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty, but rather a cancer associated with the imperial power, a disease brought about in the womb. Even Li Tang's Xuanwumen tradition is related to the existence of Guan Longxungui.

For example, this time Li Tong did something, if Guan Longxun was willing to support him, he didn't have to take risks in advance, and he had the confidence to develop step by step. However, once Guan Longxun and his nobles gain Wu Zetian's understanding under the general environment, Li Tong's living space will be drastically compressed.

In the Shenlong Revolution in history, a major proposition was the restoration of Li Tang.

But under this big proposition, from the perspective of the power structure, it is a counterattack of the prime minister's power against the imperial power. In terms of geographical pattern, it is Shanxi and Hebei Yankees who have the right to prevent the right to return to Guanlong.

Of course, in the end, it failed, and the authority of the prime minister of Zhongzong was lost. And all the people involved in the incident, whether it was the five kings of Shenlong, or the king of Zhongzong, Tongjiao, and Li Duozuo, the general of Yulin, none of them died well.

Li Tong made trouble this time, ostensibly to cut off the kings of the Wu family, but in fact, he was killing a possibility and the opportunity for Guan Longxungui to return to the mainstream position of the current situation.

What really made him feel the crisis was not the pressure on him by Wu Sansi and the prime ministers. But as Wu Sansi became the head of the martial family, he no longer regarded the succession as the primary goal.

As long as Wu Sansi is not keen on winning the heir, then there is no fundamental contradiction with the Guan Long nobles behind his fourth uncle. There may be opposition to each other at the moment, but it is more of a habit and soon they will reach some level of understanding with each other.

At least before the people who jointly boycotted Li Tong entered the political hall, they already had a certain tacit understanding. Under such circumstances, how could Li Tong rest assured that he would go to Lingnan or be gradually marginalized in Jinai.

Wu Zetian herself has no killing intent towards the emperor's heir, and she is not a natural class fighter, as long as an understanding can be reached at the level of the biggest dispute, there is no need for her to kill Guan Longxungui, Li Wu confluence in the late Wu Zhou period is the most obvious proof.

As for Dou Luqin, looking at an old fox, the older he gets, the softer his waist bones become, and it will be a matter of time before he is pushed down. Even if there is no Doulu Qinwang, as long as this kind of sign is revealed, there will be other Guan Long figures who will stand up to promote this matter.

In a current situation, chaos can be smooth or smooth, but as long as a temporary balance can be reached, then any component is indispensable. Although Wu Chengsi was abolished, as he became disheartened and stopped making trouble, there was not much time left for Li Tong.

If he was still stupid and counted a few years before Li Wu's confluence, he really didn't know how to die.

If he can't rise to the challenge this time, I'm afraid that once the new order of the court is formed after the closure of Zen, he will be squeezed even more seriously, and maybe he can only learn from the Zhang brothers to wear feather clothes and pretend to be Wang Zijin, and beg grandma to love me every day with a shy face.

Fortunately, Li Tong was not the only one who felt the crisis, and Di Renjie couldn't help but contact him in advance. Although I don't know what kind of mental journey Di Renjie has gone through and profound trade-offs, as long as we can reach a superficial consensus at this moment, we can also be full of enthusiasm for each other.

So this time, in Li Tong's mind, Doulu Qinwang is in the same position as Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, and it is a target that must be killed!

But Li Tong can't reveal this idea to Di Renjie, and he can't directly kill Doulu Qinwang through strong troops, which will directly intensify the contradiction between him and Guan Longxungui, and it is not conducive to his foothold in Guanzhong.

The most reasonable plan should be to get the book from his grandmother after controlling Ouchi, and get rid of Doulu Qinwang through normal procedures. In this way, Li Zhaode and Di Renjie, who were working together, could be pulled into the water together.

Li Tong made concessions on a large scale, and didn't care at all whether his fourth uncle would be the emperor or continue to be the emperor's heir next, as long as he killed Doulu Qinwang through this coup, even if his fourth uncle directly became the emperor, he would not be able to balance the distribution of interests among the heroes at all.

Without the representative figures to share this wave of restoration dividends, how can Guan Longxun be willing, no matter what situation is achieved next, they will continue to attack the new order.

Di Renjie and the others have a little brain, and they have to ensure that Li Tong has the power and influence he deserves. Especially Li Zhaode, he sneaked back to Shendu on the way to make trouble, and he needed to take more precautions. Several of them have a relationship with the Tang Dynasty.

Five days after meeting with Li Zhaode and others, the group met again in the Jinai Side.

This time, the participants were expanded to the five downlines selected by the three of them before, and Li Tong just showed up and said that he was also involved in this matter, and did not sit for a long time, but asked Li Zhan to conduct a detailed meeting on behalf of himself to determine the specific time and each step.

So far, things are going well. After all, as the end of the year approached, the current Shendu City was already a major event, attracting most of the attention of the current generation, and few people could notice that a small circle of coups had been formed.

Of course, the preparation of things is not without twists and turns. After Li Tong forced Lai Junchen to accuse Doulu Qinwang, Lai Junchen worked very hard, and it didn't take a few days to directly arrest Doulu Qinwang's sons to Luoyang Tui Yuan, which can be described as clean and neat.

But soon after, an accident happened, one day at the court meeting, the palace attendant Zhang Khan Zhi went out to impeach Lai Junchen, and by the way, he brought Zheng Rong, the young eunuch of Lintai, and others.

What he said is also loud, and now that the imperial court is trying such a perverse case as a son rebelling against his mother, what reason is there to talk about such a big gift as Feng Chan? Sons can rebel against their mothers, what kind of Ruishi is this!

When Zhang Cambodia said this, he was naturally embarrassed, but he had no way to refute it. After Wu Zetian's face in the palace was cloudy, he ordered to stop the case of the emperor's heir's rebellion, but the personnel who had already been involved in the case were strictly investigated for other crimes, and if not, they were all exempted.

As for Zhang Cambodia, who admonished the matter, he was awarded the title of Shangfang Young Eunuch, and supervised the construction of cultural relics in Feng Chan.

Not to mention whether Wu Zetian was satisfied with his own fun and disgusted Zhang Cambodia, but Li Tong's plan was disrupted by Zhang Cambodia's old guy.

The case of the emperor's rebellion was suspended, and the biggest crisis hanging over Doulu Qinwang no longer exists, even if his son is still on trial in the Luoyang Tui Court. But relying solely on the pressure exerted by Lai Junchen was no longer enough to make Doulu Qinwang jump off the wall in a hurry.

As for the princess Taiping arranged by Li Tong, he didn't know how his aunt operated it, but on the surface, it seemed that Lu Zhensong, the original right Qianniu Weidou, was actually promoted by Princess Taiping to be the general of the left guard.

I don't know if Princess Taiping's methods are too immature, or Doulu Qinwang is too treacherous, or the two sides have reached a deeper level of cooperation, anyway, such a situation is obviously a little unfavorable to Li Tong.

Based on this, before the incident, Li Tong met with Li Zhaode and Di Renjie again, and after some discussion, it was decided that he would directly bring Doulu Qinwang into the imperial city that day.

Although Li Tong was a little dissatisfied with this, none of them could guarantee that if Doulu Qinwang was excluded, he would not call Nanya to set off a riot and counterattack. The variables are too great, and Doulu Qinwang should be controlled as soon as possible.

This was obviously a more favorable change for the imperial heir, but in order to ensure that the coup d'état could be carried out as scheduled, Li Tong could only make a slight concession. However, he also adjusted his plan a little because of this, since you want to add people in advance, then I also have to work more and do more things for those who are capable, I believe Li Zhaode and they can understand.

The mutiny was chosen on the night before the first day of November, because the New Day Dynasty wanted to formally finalize the relevant rules for sealing Chan Songshan. So on this night, most of the courtiers were in the imperial city, still working overtime to prepare. On this day, people and things in and out of the Imperial City are frequent, and the relative palace defense should be more relaxed.

On this afternoon at the end of October, Li Tong went to the Taiping Princess Mansion in Shangshanfang, surrounded by relatives in the palace. This was agreed a few days in advance, and Princess Taiping acted as an intermediary to talk about the contradiction between the acting king and Doulu Qinwang.

On this day, there was a big battle in Princess Taiping's mansion, cousin Xue Chongxun and several young people from the Doulu family greeted him at the gate, and King Dingwang Wuyou and Doulu Qinwang stood in front of the princess's mansion, and even Princess Taiping stood in front of the foyer inside the gate.

Li Tong was happy when he saw this posture, it seems that Lao Doulu and his aunt should have a good conversation, and may be ready to join forces to take over and balance the situation after leaving the capital.

Li Tong is not reasonable in this matter, but they are still so sincere, they should be worried that they will break the jar when they leave the capital, or have branches again, which can be regarded as well-intentioned.

"Cousin, how does Doulu hate you? If you really can't bear this breath, we don't have to go to the banquet, I will accompany you to the second cousin's house to play games and relax, you don't have to look at your mother's face. It's just、It's just that I'm afraid I'm going to have to stay at your house for the next few days.。 ”

Xue Chongxun stepped forward and walked side by side with Li Tong, and said in his ear quite willingly.

After Li Tong heard this, he smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Favors are just trivial things, and there is no need to embarrass my aunt." But after the feast, you will go out with me to do something big. ”

Xue Chongxun nodded again and again after hearing this, and asked curiously what was going on, Li Tong only said that he would know later, and then turned his head to look at Doulu Qinwang, who was already smiling like a chrysanthemum, and nodded with a smile.
