In the blink of an eye, it is the first month of the second year of Zhenyuan, but it is three years of great prosperity for Chang'an, the eighth day of the first month is Zhu Zhu's fifty-fifth birthday, and the civil officials have a day off, and Chang'an City is lit up everywhere to celebrate.

Early in the morning, Jin Changfang spread the news, someone dug up a piece of white jade old stele on the ruins of the Golden Body Pavilion, the jade stele can actually earn 'Li is dying, Zhu is prosperous' eight big characters, this news immediately caused a sensation in Chang'an City, the Golden Body Pavilion once appeared in the heavenly omen, this jade stele appeared in this place is more mysterious, more eye-catching.

Someone has seen it with their own eyes at the scene, and the jade tablet is definitely an old tablet, at least more than a hundred years old.

The county magistrate of Wannian County came with a large number of officials and blocked the scene, and then two thousand Jin Wuwei also came to block Jinchangfang.

Jingzhao Yin Han Zunyou rushed to the Taiwei Mansion as soon as possible and reported this matter to Zhu Zhu, Zhu Zhu was overjoyed, he did not send someone to make Ruizhao, if this jade tablet is really an old monument a hundred years ago, wouldn't it be providence?

Zhu Jun didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he hurried to the scene in a carriage, the scene had been blocked by the government and the army, and a large number of people were standing in the distance to watch the excitement.

There is a large table on the ruins of the Golden Body Pavilion, and the jade tablet is placed on the table, and two craftsmen are carefully examining this jade tablet.

Zhu Jun stepped forward to carefully inspect this jade tablet, the soil on it is still there, but the handwriting is already clearly visible, it is written in seal script, and sure enough, it is 'Li is dying, Zhu is prospering' eight big characters, the color of the vermilion on it has become black.

Zhu Zhu was ecstatic in his heart, providence!

"How did you find this jade tablet?" Zhu Jun asked again.

Wang Qiang, the county commander, hurriedly said: "There was originally a tomb here, it was the tomb of Gongsun Auntie, and then the coffin was moved away, and it became an empty tomb, yesterday morning someone picked up a few pieces of gold jewelry in the soil of the cemetery, the news came, there were many people who came to dig the soil yesterday afternoon, and this jade tablet was dug out last night, not in the cemetery, and a zhang away next to the cemetery. ”

"Is it really a 100-year-old monument?"

"Come here and explain!" The prefectural magistrate pointed to the two craftsmen next to him.

The two craftsmen stepped forward and said tremblingly: "There is a slight Tuqin in the white jade, and the Tuqin is not deep or much, indicating that its time is about a hundred years, and then look at the vermilion mud, it will generally turn purple after thirty or forty years, and it will become black after seventy or eighty years, and the vermilion mud will become black, and the black is very deep, it can be inferred that he is about a hundred years, which coincides with Tuqin, so it is inferred that its time is about a hundred years, probably buried in the late Wu Zhou period." ”

"When was a hundred years ago?" Zhu Jun turned around and asked.

Jingzhao Yin Han Zunyou hurriedly bowed down and said, "Captain Qiyu, a hundred years ago was when Emperor Zetian was still in power in Ruizong. ”

Zhu Jun slapped his forehead heavily, "Providence!" Providence! ”

This is the third time he has shouted Providence today.

Of course, Zhu Jun knew the value of this jade tablet, and the appearance of such a piece of Ruizhao on his fifty-fifth birthday was God's arrangement to replace Li Tang!

Zhu Jun's desire to ascend the throne as emperor has not been a day or two, but every time he is dissuaded, always saying that the time is not right, and now the time is ripe, and even the heavenly omen has appeared, isn't this God's arrangement?

'Heaven gives the Buddha, but suffers the blame, and when the time comes, it suffers. ’

Zhu Jun thought of this, and at this moment he made up his mind.

Zhu Jun immediately ordered several officials: "This land has been expropriated, I want to build Ruizhao Tower here, and it will be repaired in ten days!" ”

..........

As soon as Zhu Jun returned to Taiwei's Mansion, Liu Sigu and Yuan Xiu hurried over, "Taiwei, I heard that there is a jade tablet in Jinchangfang?" ”

Zhu Jun said proudly: "That's right, the jade tablet buried a hundred years ago is engraved with the words 'Li is about to die, Zhu is prosperous', this is my best birthday gift today." ”

"Taiwei doesn't really think it's providence, right?"

Zhu Zhu's face sank, and he glared at Liu Sigu dissatisfied, "Could it be that you buried the jade tablet?" ”

"It's not!"

"You didn't bury it, and I didn't bury it, what is that not providence?"

"Captain, maybe someone else'......"

"Fart!"

Zhu Jun's heart was furious, "It has been buried for more than a hundred years, and two craftsmen have specially identified it, and it is not a forgery, so you can't see that I have a heavenly omen?" ”

Zhu Jun walked a few steps up the lobby with his hands in his hand, and said: "What I hate the most is a conspiracy, everything is fake, do you know the rainbow celestial omen of the Golden Body Pavilion?" It caused a sensation in Chang'an, and even Li Shi ran to worship, no one dared to say that it was fake, and now in the same place, it will become fake when it is my turn to have a heavenly omen? ”

Liu Sigu hurriedly said: "Taiwei is angry, the main reason for his humble position is that when he heard that the jade tablet was found in the Golden Body Pavilion, he immediately thought of Guo Song, so he was suspicious. ”

"What does this have to do with Guo Song?"

"Taiwei, the Golden Body Pavilion is dedicated to Guo Song's master, the Golden Body Pavilion was built by him at his expense, the jade tablet will not appear there for no reason, and the humble position is almost certain that the jade tablet was put by him."

Zhu Jun shook his head, "I don't understand, why did Guo Song help me, I only have hatred and no friendship with him, why did he do this?" ”

Liu Sigu and Yuan Xiu glanced at each other, Liu Sigu sighed and said: "Guo Song is not helping Taiwei, but to trap Taiwei in danger, if Taiwei really thinks that it is the mandate of heaven to ascend the throne, it will definitely cause serious damage to Taiwei's reputation, and now the world still recognizes the Tang Dynasty, so he has always told Taiwei that the time is not ripe, and this is the reason." ”

"Then I want to know, when is the time ripe?" Zhu Jun asked with some annoyance.

"Taiwei, when the time is ripe is to unify the world, at that time, Taiwei's reputation is in full swing, replacing the Tang Dynasty is already the so-called so-called, holding a Zen concession can achieve the throne."

After a while, Zhu Jun said coldly: "What if you can't unify the world?" ”

"Why did the Captain say that? Li Shi is mediocre and incompetent, reusing eunuchs and traitors, sooner or later it will be over, there is no need to worry at all, Taiwei stabilized Hebei and the Central Plains, first destroyed Li Xilie, and cut him with a thousand knives to collect the hearts of the people in the Central Plains and Jianghuai, and then seized Jiangnan, obtained tax support, turned around and cleaned up Li Na, as for Hebei and Hedong, how to fight with the king of Ji in the north and south, and then go all out to deal with Guo Song and Cui Kuan, and finally clean up Li Shi, as long as he listens to the words of his humble position, he will unify the world within three years. ”

Although Zhu Jun has a lot of evil deeds, one of his biggest advantages is that he is as good as a stream, he knows that he is not strategic, and he is not thoughtful about the problem, so he prefers to listen to the persuasion of his subordinates and strategists, for example, he originally renamed Xingqing Palace to Qin Palace, but he followed Yao Lingyan's suggestion and changed Qin Palace to Taiwei Mansion, which is not so arrogant.

Another example is that he listened to Yuan Xiu's suggestion and sent the former prince Li Yu and his family to Chang'an from the Yuan family to Chengdu, thus improving the relationship with the Guan sergeant clan, and for example, he listened to Liu Sigu's suggestion to hold the imperial examination in the spring of next year.

At this time, although Zhu Jun had decided to abolish the Tang Dynasty and become independent, Liu Sigu finally persuaded him, making him realize that it was not wise to ascend the throne now, and he had to suppress the desire to ascend the throne in his heart again.

At this time, Yuan Xiu, who had been silent, said on the side: "If you want to destroy Li Xilie, you must first recapture Xiangyang, otherwise the Tang Army and Li Xilie will collude, and we will not be able to take care of it." ”

Zhu Jun turned his head to look at Liu Sigu, "Sir, do you have a clever plan?" ”

Liu Sigu smiled slightly, "The most urgent thing for Zhang Shengyun is to prove that he is no less than Li Sheng, and we can use his mentality to make a wonderful article." ”

Zhu Jun applauded and laughed, "I'm looking forward to Mr.'s masterpiece!" ”

"Don't worry, it's not too late for us to lay out paper and ink and write articles after the beginning of spring!"

........

Xiazhou City is also a snowy world, Xiazhou, Yinzhou, Yanzhou are the places where the party people live, the Tang Dynasty set up an official office here, govern the party people, but also garrison the army, monitor the party people's every move, the army is subordinate to the Shuofang Jiedu envoy.

In return, Cui Kuan let go of the trade and equipment of the party members, and the party used many years of savings to buy pig iron in Guanzhong and Hedong, and buy prohibited items such as armor.
