Chapter 257 - Compare to the one he is not good at
Wu Zetian not only has a keen sense of political smell, but can do Wu Ning's "pointing and fighting", and the old lady's political skills are also first-class through the ages.
Everyone else was thinking about how they could get a little personal benefit from Mu Zijiu's literary meeting, but Mrs. Wu took ten steps and had already set her sights on Lichu.
To put it simply, no matter what kind of considerations Wu Zetian had, she didn't want to make the descendants of the Li family the crown prince. And the Liwu family is unacceptable to most people.
Of course, with Wu Zetian's strength, coupled with the fact that the family is now dead, and the power of the new victory, if she forcibly establishes Wu Chenghei as the prince, then it will be established, and no one can go against her will.
So why didn't the old lady stand up right away?
I have to say here that the old lady still has a conscience.
Of course, she can set up whoever she wants, and she can even borrow the rest of her life to remove all obstacles for the new emperor.
Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang do this a few dynasties later? In order to allow his grandson to succeed to the throne smoothly, he will not be left with a piece of armor for possible threats.
You have to believe that Wu Zetian has this ability, and he also has this ruthlessness.
The reason why she didn't do this was because she didn't want the tragic pressure of her dynasty to continue to the next emperor.
She didn't want the forces of the Li Wu family, the civil and military officials, to be completely split after her death, and it would be like fire and water.
To put it bluntly, the old lady is old and doesn't want to create any more evil, and wants to find an unofficial occasion to create a stable and peaceful outcome, so as to achieve a smooth transition.
Naturally, this literary meeting organized by Mu Zijiu, a famous scholar in Shuzhong, is the best choice.
......
But Wu Laojiu is a little tired: Your old man wants to create a harmonious society and build a socialist family, so why don't you work me?
What is the Wenhui?
Isn't it just a group of filthy old men who are rich, powerful, talented, and educated, gather together without shame, and then praise each other without shame, and then call a group of kaki and maiko without shame, and finally reach some kind of consensus without shame?
As a result, the emperor wanted to join in the fun, and he also wanted to achieve the goal of not being ashamed.
Then you say, why are others not ashamed?
Imagine:
The empress is in the right position, the next mountain shouts long live, the delicacies of the mountains and seas have become decorations, the jade liquid has become a spectator, the kabuki and dancing girls can only be seen and not taken off, and the beautiful scenery of the good day can only be imagined or touched......
This is special, the Wenhui will directly become a court meeting.
......
Back at the Li Mansion in Huairenfang, Wu Ning told Wu Zetian that he was going to come to the Wenhui in person.
“......”
Wu Qi was stunned for a long time, and then jumped three feet high.
"It's broken! I'm going out for a trip. As he spoke, he ran out.
"Come back!"
Wu Ning frowned, "Why are you going?" ”
"Huh?" Wu Qi froze, "No, why don't you do it!" ”
"Since the Empress is coming, the original guest list is not suitable, I have to reconsider! Some people just can't let them come. ”
"Hmm." Wu Ning nodded.
But on second thought, isn't it? Even if Wu Zetian doesn't come, the people invited are all officials from the DPRK and China and celebrities in the literary world, so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it, right?
"Who did you invite?"
"This...."Wu Qi's eyes flickered, "That's the ...... It's time to come! ”
No, Wu Ning squinted at Wu Qi, this thing must be out of tune again.
"Tell the truth!"
"Okay!" Wu Qi knew that he was seen through, "Wang Fangfang of the Yulu Flower Pavilion." ”
"......" As soon as Wu Ning rolled his eyes, he knew that a famous flower prostitute was indispensable.
Speechless shook his head, "That's it?" ”
"And Aunt Sun of Miaoxianglou."
"Anything else?"
"Zhou Xianling of Nancheng."
"Xu Hongniang of Donglinfang."
"Zheng An'an of Yexiang Pavilion."
"Horse ...... of Shoto-in"
......
"......" Wu Laojiu counted with his fingers.
Well, not bad! Wu Lao Shi is really worthy of his handsome face, and there are countless Oiran girls in Luoyang City, and none of them are left behind.
"What's the matter with you holding a flower fair?"
Wu Ning couldn't laugh or cry a little, "It's not there this time, right?" ”
It should be gone, because I can't invite anyone else.
However, Wu Ning still underestimated Wu Qi's ability.
"And.... One. Wu Qi glanced at Wu Jiujiu, "Qiao'er...."
"Qiao'er!?" Wu Ning was really angry.
yelled: "Why don't you have a brain? ”
"Our sister can't hide it, you actually brought her to such a place!?"
"It's not!" Wu Qi was also wronged, "I didn't ask her to come, she had to come, how could I say that I could move her!" ”
Wu Qiao'er really doesn't blame Wu Qi for going, even if this goods are no longer in tune, I know that there are many people, and it is not appropriate for Qiao'er to go.
However, Qiao'er didn't know what to think, and when she learned that she was going to hold a literary meeting, she had to go and have a good time. Wu Qi and Huzi didn't listen to what they said, they just had to go.
So what can Lao Ten do?
"I don't believe you asked Huzi to go, we persuaded him for a long time, she has to go!"
“......”
Wu Ning was speechless for a while, which one is this trouble?
That girl is stubborn Wu Ning knows, but Qiao'er is not blindly stubborn, let alone a person without measure.
She should know what occasions are right for her and what occasions it is best for her not to show up.
Even if Wu Zetian doesn't come, the Wenhui of Inviting Yuelou is also a gathering of ministers, and even Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi have to attend.
If they see something in any action or in any eye, it's all trouble.
"No way!" Wu Ning frowned, "Qiao'er can't appear in the Invitation Moon Tower." ”
Now that Wu Zetian is going to attend again, Qiao'er can't show up even more, the old lady's eyes are not joking.
"That's right!" Wu Qi followed Wu Ning's words and said, "Aren't I just going to tell Qiao'er not to come, then what are you stopping me from doing?" ”
"You!!"
Did Wu Ning really convince Wu Qi, but did he become reasonable?
"Get out of here! Can't you just give me a snack? ”
"Hey, hey." Wu Qi grinned, and walked out perfunctorily, "With my brother here, what am I afraid of?" ”
“......”
"Let's go!"
Wu Qi walked out happily, completely ignoring Wu Laojiu's darkened face.
What he said is not unreasonable, from top to bottom, Wu Ning is all instructed, how he is, it really doesn't matter.
It's a habit that has been cultivated since childhood.
Wu Qizheng was about to go out to inform Qiao'er and not let her go to the Wenhui.
However, it was too late.
Before he left the hall, there was a commotion outside the house, but there was a palace guard of honor outside the house.
"The Divine Decree has arrived!"
The waiter in the Yellow Gate shouted and sang loudly, and the Wu family brothers were suspicious in their hearts, didn't they just come out of the palace? Why is the Holy Decree coming again?
But I couldn't think about it too much, and I was busy going out of the house to receive orders.
I heard the edict of the chief eunuch and said: "Your Majesty has an edict! ”
"A few days later, I will invite the Moon Tower to the literary meeting, only as a guest, and I am willing to have fun with all the gentlemen."
"Then Wuchuan Hou Mu Zijiu, don't wait for the other way, everything is normal."
"The original guests, the banquet is as usual, and it must not be abandoned because of my trip."
......
Definitely, Wu Zetian took a step ahead, and the holy decree conveyed two meanings:
First, the old lady thought that Mu Zijiu was not famous enough, and the cards of the Wenhui were not big enough, so she specially asked the eunuch to come to the door of Wu Ning's house to pass the decree, which was tantamount to announcing to the world, and she didn't want everyone to know about it.
Second, Wu Zetian considered that her arrival might make the Wenhui banquet out of shape, so he deliberately "close to the people" once, and told Wu Ning in such a grand way as the holy decree, and also told the world:
I'm here as a guest, how you should play, who you should invite, who you should invite, let's have fun, don't discriminate.
"What should I do?"
Wu Qi was a little dumbfounded, this time he couldn't let Qiao'er come!
Not allowing Qiao'er to attend is tantamount to violating Wu Zetian's will, and it will cause people to be suspicious.
“......”
What to do? Cold!
Wu Ning only felt that his brain was in pain, wasn't it just a literary meeting? How did it come to this?
But this is just the beginning.
......
——————————
The news that Wu Zetian was going to attend the meeting held by the Mu brothers in person, and issued a public decree to participate in the name of a guest, spread all over Luoyang in a few days.
guessed Wu Zetian's intentions, knowing that the old lady had ulterior motives and wanted to pave the way for Lichu.
Some people wait and see, and some people certainly don't want the old lady to get their wish and want to stir up the situation.
However, how to stir up is a knowledge, and Wu Zetian can't be noticed, and the old lady can't get off the stage.
So....
"Wenhui, right?" Li Xian thought to himself, "Then we can only think of a way in the way of the Wenhui." ”
After a while, he summoned the chief of the palace and said, "Find a few talented scribes to attend with the king." ”
......
Wu Sansi on the other side is also using his brains, the old lady is indeed surnamed Wu, but unfortunately it is not him!
"How can you let Your Majesty come happily and leave disappointed?"
The only way is to make Wenhui mess up for him, or to make the forces of several parties not only not reconcile, but more antagonistic in Wenhui.
Thinking of this, Wu Sansi almost stopped crying, he is not like Li Xian and Li Xian, who have many outstanding talents in the door, and those who secretly make a song with him are all military generals and officials, and few have real skills?
Counting and counting, the literati who took it seemed to have only one Song Zhiwen.
However, the goods are still in exile outside the neighborhood, and they have not been fished out yet.
Now that he is temporarily employed, where can he go to find it?
When he was distressed, he caught up with his own son Wu Chongxun to pass by.
"Come back!" Wu Sansi's eyes lit up, "Where are you going?" ”
When Wu Chongxun heard Lao Tzu call him, he turned around with a smile and saluted, "Father, Chongxun went to the palace of the King of Chu to find his sister." ”
Wu Sansi heard this, and he was angry, "Still going!?" People and Mu Zi are getting along, what else is the matter with you!? ”
"Dad...."Wu Chongxun's expression fell, "Are you still my father?" ”
"At this time, shouldn't the father encourage the child more, cheer for the child, and stand on the child's side?"
"Besides." Wu Chongxun glanced at his Lao Tzu in disgust, "That's all nonsense, how can you take it seriously?" ”
"Still talking nonsense?" Wu Sansi sneered, "Your Majesty is going to Mu Zijiu's literary meeting." What did you do, you know? ”
"Mu Zijiu has been promoted from a commoner to the Marquis of Wuchuan in just a few months, do you know why?"
"Why?"
Wu Sansi raised his eyebrows, "Isn't Your Majesty going to pave the way for his marriage to An Le?" ”
"Your Majesty, that's his long-distance dart game, and he wants to recruit him as a colt and use it for the court!"
"The purpose of this literary meeting is even more obvious, it is to push Mu Zijiu in front of others, so that it is logical to demote the marriage!"
"You're okay, and you're having fun all day?"
"Your Li Bao'er, you're about to become someone else's lady!"
Seeing Wu Chongxun looking at him dumbfounded, Wu Sansi was very proud in his heart.
Strike while the iron is hot, take a step forward, "Son!" Dad heard that you have been studying the classics hard lately, and you have learned a lot. It just so happens that Mu Zijiu is not running a cultural meeting? ”
"There you go!! Go and use your skills to defeat him and snatch Li Bao'er back! ”
"Daddy has your back!!"
"......" Wu Chongxun still looked at Wu Sansi in a daze.
After saying the sentence "Dad supports you" for a long time, Wu Chongxun reacted.
popped up a sentence: "Dad, let's not bring this!" Even your own son is a pit, it's too much! ”
Ga?!
Wu Sansi's old face flushed, "What are you talking about?" How could your dad cheat you!? ”
Wu Chongxun pursed his lips, "Who are you blinding?" ”
"The imperial aunt went to the Wenhui to let the heir and uncle inherit the unification. What contributed to Mu Zijiu and Bao'er? ”
"Ugh." Wu Sansi was speechless. The heart said, worthy of being my son, and quite smart.
changed his tone, "Then you have to help your father and me!" Wu Chenghei wants to succeed to the throne, so what's the matter with your father? ”
"It's best if it's okay!!" Wu Chongxun slapped his thigh, "What kind of good thing should you do?" Not too far to hide, how far to hide? ”
"You!!" Anger Wu Sansi!
"You unproductive thing! A good man doesn't even dare to covet the throne, so what does it mean in this world? ”
"Huh." Wu Chongxun laughed dryly, "Then you can covet it, I'm leaving!" ”
"Come back!" Wu Sansi shouted, "In a word, to help or not to help!?" ”
"Believe it or not, I'll inform the account room, from now on, you don't even want to spend a big boy!"
"It's not that I don't help, I can't help...."Lao Tzu threatened with his waist bag, and Wu Chongxun had to turn back with a bitter face.
Pointing to his nose, "At the level of your son's half-hanging, you still go to the Douwen Club with Mu Zijiu?" ”
"He'll kill me in three or two clicks, step on my ass, and laugh at your face."
"Hmm." Wu Sansi nodded, what his son said was right.
"Huh??" His eyes widened, but why is this so ugly?
"Slip of the tongue... Slip of the tongue..."Wu Chongxun hurriedly explained.
"It's not as good as him anyway."
"You think, he's Chen Ziang's disciple!" Spread his hands, "How do I compare with him?" ”
"You're stupid!" Wu Sansi scolded, "You won't compare what poetry and songs with him?" ”
Step-by-step, he said: "That Wenhui, it's not that it's stipulated that death is only better than poetry, right?" ”
"Yes." Wu Chongxun was a little shaken, "Then what do you say?" ”
"Think about my father." Wu Sansi thought about it, "Eh~~? ”
"I heard for my father that Chen Ziang's poetry is unique, but he is not good at mathematics, is it true?" ”
"Really!" Wu Chongxun nodded.
"Back then, Chen Ziang responded to the Son of Heaven with a white scroll, which is a well-known thing in the world."
Wu Sansi's eyes lit up, "In this way, his disciple should not be good at math, right?" ”
“......”
Wu Chongxun was stunned, what his father said seemed to make sense.
"That's right!" Wu San thought about it, and when he saw his son's expression, he knew that there was a play.
"It's so decided, compare the scriptures with Mu Zi, and let him lose face in front of everyone. Anle will naturally see your advantages, and maybe he will change his mind! ”
Wu Chongxun passed it again in his heart, this thing is feasible!
"So... Compare the scriptures? ”
Wu Sansi patted his son's shoulder, "Yes! It's like counting the scriptures! ”
