Chapter Twenty-Seven: Bright as a Poppy
In the face of Princess Taiping's inquiry, the first to reply was Cui Xiang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Cui Xiang was born in the Cui family of Boling, the so-called "Cui, Lu, Li, Zheng, Wang" five surname families, Cui Lie first, Cui Xiang is born in the world's first wealthy son of the sky. He himself is a rare beautiful man, and he is very talented and praised by the world. However, he is also famous for his political discipline, and his political discipline is not as good as a Qinglou woman in the eyes of the world: Cui Xiang was originally an official residence examiner Wailang, when Wu Zetian was forced to abdicate the throne, and returned to power Li Tang, as one of the great heroes, Huan Yan Fan was in power, and Cui Xiang worshiped under Huan Yan Fan. Huan Yanfan was not worried that Wu Sansi sent Cui Xiang to go undercover under Wu Sansi and let him secretly listen to the news. Cui Xiang saw that Wu Sansi was becoming more and more favored, so he betrayed Huan Yanfan and attached himself to Wu Sansi. Later, Zhaorong Shangguan Wan'er focused on internal affairs, and Cui Xiang threw himself into Shangguan Wan'er. He had a close relationship with Shangguan Wan'er and Princess An Le, and when Li Longji staged a coup d'Γ©tat, he fell to Li Dan, and now he has become Princess Taiping's confidant...... In his short political career of more than ten years, Cui Xiang was treacherous, capricious, and disdainful of political discipline, but he had a vicious vision, and every time he surrendered, he was able to seek the greatest benefits for himself, so as to enter the ranks of ministers and assistants.
"Today's peace is mostly inconsequential and not worth it. There is only one thing worth saying. Xue Neshang, the governor of Youzhou, intended to send troops to recapture Liaoxi and Liaodong, hoping to get permission. I wonder what His Highness thinks? β
Princess Taiping's eyes fell on Xiao Zhizhong.
Xiao Zhizhong is also from a famous family, belongs to the Lanling Xiao family, and is also talented. He is a contradiction, sometimes upright, not afraid of power, impeaching Prime Minister Su Wei for corruption, sometimes doing villain things, and relying on Liang Wang Wu to think twice. Sometimes he sticks to his job and is respected by the people of the time, and sometimes he is attached to Wei's in a muddy way, marries his daughter to Empress Wei's cousin, and even marries Empress Wei's younger brother for his dead daughter. But his talent is beyond doubt, and even Song Jing, one of the four great sages of the Tang Dynasty, also lamented that Xiao Zhizhong regretted to vote for others. Even if Xiao Zhizhong was later executed, Li Longji also missed Xiao Zhizhong's strategy, and when appointing Yuan Qianyao as the prime minister, he specially said to Gao Lishi: "Do you know why I promoted Yuan Qianyao?" Because I think he looks like Xiao Zhizhong. β
Xiao Zhizhong can be regarded as the first adviser under Princess Taiping at the moment.
Xiao Zhizhong said: "Your Majesty intends to use the power of foreign wars to increase your prestige. I didn't expect this to be bad, His Majesty had already secretly dealt with the Metropolitan Governor, otherwise the Metropolitan Governor would not have proposed a military proposal at this time. He saw through Li Longji's intentions at a glance.
Cui Xiang respectfully presented Xue Ne's hands to Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping opened the chapter without any scruples to take a closer look, and said with her head bowed: "What the Metropolitan Governor said is reasonable, Liaodong and Liaoxi will not be recaptured for a day, and the Andong Protectorate will not be stable for a day, and Silla is also eyeing it, so I have to guard against it." "Li Wuyi was executed in the name of the Xi clan and the Khitan traitor, but all this was a conspiracy of Silla, and Princess Taiping had already known it from Xue Neshangshu's recital.
Cui Xiang said in a somewhat incredulous tone: "Your Highness means to agree?" β
Princess Taiping asked rhetorically, "Why not?" Nowadays, there are not many famous generals who can get their hands on the Tang Dynasty, and if they recapture Liaodong and Liaoxi, if Xue Ne can't do it, no one can do it at present. This is a good and harmless thing for my Datang Baili, why do you refuse? β
Cui Xiang frowned and said, "If Xue Ne wins, won't it boost His Majesty's prestige?" β
"What about fueling?" Princess Taiping asked again, she got up and walked to the door of the main hall, paused and said lightly: "The imperial brother has decided to abolish the new emperor and set up another prince, so let the nephew in this palace finally do something beneficial to my Tang Dynasty." With that, she walked away. Leaving Xiao Zhizhong and Cui Xiang with shocked faces.
The two amazing and brilliant characters, at this moment, have only endless shock in their eyes: the emperor wants to abolish the new emperor and set up another prince......
How did Princess Taiping do it?
Looking at the back that had disappeared, in addition to admiration in the eyes of Xiao Zhizhong and Cui Xiang, there was also a trace of fear: it was terrifying.
Princess Taiping and Li Longji's aunt and nephew fought the law, Princess Taiping has always been against Li Longji, but once Princess Taiping encountered the biggest crisis. In the first year of Yanhe, she intended to abolish the crown prince Li Longji and set up another one, causing others to spread rumors that Li Longji had the idea of rebellion.
Li Longji's identity suddenly changed from the crown prince to the emperor, just when everyone thought that the overall situation had been decided, no one could have imagined that Princess Taiping would turn the tide by herself, and directly said that the emperor Li Dan would override Li Longji and win in danger......
Now she actually said that Li Dan would abolish Li Longji...... It's true!
Xiao Zhizhong and Cui Xiang, as Princess Taiping's most trusted advisers, are the dragon and phoenix among the people...... At this moment, I have a feeling that I am dispensable......
Princess Taiping didn't need them at all, and she did what they couldn't do with all their efforts.
A smile of victory appeared on Princess Taiping's face, and the beauty was as delicate as a poppy.
"Your Highness, Princess Yuzhen is here!"
Princess Taiping had a cute face in her mind, and said with a smile: "Quick, invite her in!" Wait, I'll pick it up myself! β
The direct bloodline of the Li family made her mother Wu Zetian almost killed, and only a few single seedlings remained. For her few remaining relatives, as long as she is not in the way of her power, Princess Taiping is sincerely caring.
"Auntie!" Li Chiying also likes Aunt Taiping, who is very good to her, and rushed into her arms.
Princess Taiping saw the scar on Li Zhiying's forehead at a glance, and said distressedly: "What's the matter?" His eyes fell on the maid who came with Li Zhiying, and said coldly: "How do you take care of the princess?" β
The four maids were so frightened that they knelt directly on the ground.
Li Zhiying hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't blame them, I accidentally made it myself, and it has nothing to do with them." β
"Why was it so careless?" Princess Taiping blew in distress and asked people to get a good potion.
Li Zhiying said angrily: "No matter what, Aunt Taiping, I'm here to sue." That Hui Fan is so hateful, it's just nonsense, it's hateful. Not to mention arresting innocent people in broad daylight, but also wanting to harm Doctor Liu, who is kind to me, you can't be hateful. β
Princess Taiping smiled: "Hateful, you say, what do you want to do with him?" β
Li Zhiying thought for a while and said: "Beat him on the board, remove him from office, punish him for his money, and throw him into this pool." She pointed to a large pond in the front yard.
Princess Taiping hooked Li Chiying's nose and said, "Listen to you!" She waved her hand and said, "Call Hui Fan here, beat fifty rods first, throw him into the lake, and only allow him to come up in an hour." β
Li Zhiying's eyes suddenly hugged his arms and said, "Will he freeze to death in winter!" β
"No, it's not that easy to die!" Princess Taiping hugged Li Zhiying and said, "What you want to do, my aunt will help you." Shouldn't you tell your aunt who told you to find your aunt? When she said this, she smiled like a flower.
Li Zhiying was stunned and said, "Alas! I forgot to ask him what his name was, and I knew that he was tall and good-looking! β
