Empress Wu summarized the Yangzhou Rebellion: Li Jingye, who took the lead in the rebellion, is a descendant of the famous general Li Tao, Pei Yan is the prime minister, and Cheng Wuting is also a famous general.

It can be seen that there are many people in the court who oppose him, and there are many people who secretly collude with him, and the biggest threat to himself is these generals, and the common people are their supporters.

He has participated in politics for several decades and formulated many policies that are beneficial to the common people, which have won the support of the people, and the common people are unwilling to fight and sincerely support themselves.

The real threat came from the generals, ministers, and princes, so they sent their eyes and ears to strengthen the monitoring of the generals, ministers, and princes. These people are the queen mother's henchmen!

So how do you uncover all kinds of threats? It is necessary to mobilize the masses to denounce each other, and then set up severe punishments, open prisons, and appoint cool officials, so that the general Xiangzong himself will not be able to take care of himself, so that he will not have the time to calculate himself!

Empress Wu thought that she had been acting as the national government since the Xianqing period and worked hard, and after her husband died, she had to work on behalf of her son, and she didn't want her hard work to be exchanged for open guns and arrows, so she was very angry.

At the end of the year, a great court meeting was held in the Qianyuan Palace. Empress Wu admonished the ministers: "I have never failed the people of the world, do the ministers know it?" The civil and military officials said: "Only." ”

Empress Wu said: "I have served the first emperor for more than 20 years, and I have worked day and night for the subjects of the world!" The wealth and wealth of the ministers are all given by me, and the happiness of the world is carefully maintained by me. When the first emperor died of illness, he left the ministers, and entrusted me with the world, I don't love my body but the people! ”

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother picked up the jade cup, took a sip of warm five-spiced drink, and then said: "But Qing and the others look at the Yangzhou Rebellion, the people led by them are all from the generals, why do the ministers live up to me so deeply!"

Today, the court is full of civil and military officials, are there any of you who have been bereaved by the old ministers and are stubborn and difficult to control Pei Yan? Is there a noble breed of generals who can entangle the outlaw to surpass Li Jingye? Is there a general who holds the army and wins the battle and surpasses the process?

These three people are the ones that all look up to! If it doesn't work for me, I can kill them. If you can surpass these three people, please act immediately! Otherwise, you must change your heart and serve me, and don't be ridiculed by the world! ”

The civil and military officials all bowed their heads and ears, not daring to look up, and said: "I am willing to obey the queen mother's drive!" ”

The Yangzhou Rebellion has been pacified, the head of King Luo Bin has been sent to the Shendu, everything seems to have been settled, and Empress Wu is busy compiling "Vertical Arch Grid".

On the first day of the first lunar month, Empress Wu had the good wish to rule the world with the vertical arch, changed the Yuan vertical arch and granted amnesty to the world. However, Luo Bingwang's "Biography of the Heaven on behalf of Li Jingye" has already spread all over the world and is a household name, and it has been praised to this day, immortal, which shows the great influence of this article!

This article puts the Empress Wu in the dock and attacks wildly, and the goddess who works for her family and country is portrayed as a bloodthirsty witch. Although the Empress Wu wanted to ban it and forget it, everyone had no choice but to recite it, and from time to time a few words reached her ears, making her uneasy.

Once the Empress Wu took the red silk and the golden jade out of the palace to inspect, turned from the north city, and transferred to the south city through the Zhongxin Bridge. Halfway through, she heard a few children reading aloud: "Those who are pseudo-Linchen Wu clan are not docile, and the earth is really cold." In the past, Taizong went down to Chen, and tried to change clothes to serve. ”

Taken aback, she said to herself: "Can you give such a ruin to the child?" After passing through an alley, I heard a middle-aged man say to the woman when he entered the door: "I am jealous at the entrance, and I refuse to let me; Cover up the sleeves and slander, and the fox can confuse the master. She was terrified.

On the way back to the palace, I heard an old man reciting again: "Kill my sister and brother, kill my mother and kill my mother." What God and man suffer together, heaven and earth do not tolerate. It's still hiding evil intentions and stealing artifacts. The beloved son of the king, secluded in another palace; The clan alliance of thieves is entrusted with a heavy task. ”

She shook her head and sighed, "Hey! A lie told 10,000 times becomes the truth, and people's words are terrible, and everyone is golden! The palace maid and eunuch comforted and said: "Market slang, why should the queen mother pay attention to it?" Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, the queen mother eats and wears clothes, is loyal and diligent to the country, and the slaves and maids can testify! ”

"Those people are so idle that they are eating pickles, but they go to the hearts of local tyrants!"

Empress Wu nodded and said, "Yes, who is good to me, I am very bright in my heart, and I have my own measure." ”

In the dead of night, Empress Wu went to the mountain temple to pay homage to the eleven-faced Guanyin, and asked Guanyin to give her great power, so that she could also see through the hearts of the people in the world, and observe the good and evil things in the world, so as to control the situation in the world.

Empress Wu is determined to tame the world with her three precious iron whips, iron Laos and daggers that tame and control fiery horses. Who will use and execute these three treasures, she has no clue in her heart.

But one thing is certain, that is, these three treasures must be used, so that everyone in the world is in danger and has no time to take care of themselves, so that there is no spare time to the heart of the queen mother, so that feudal morality people dare not oppose a woman as an emperor anymore!

Empress Wu summoned Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi to discuss, and said: "I found that King Luo Bin's text cannot be banned, and I feel that there are always people behind me pointing fingers at our martial artists and saying some gossip.

There is a huge crisis hidden in the whole country, but it is impossible to understand it concretely, and it is the feeling that the dog bites the hedgehog and has no way to swallow, which makes people very anxious! ”

Wu Sansi said: "Zhong Ni once said: If the government is lenient, the people will be slow, and if it is slow, it will be corrected; If you are fierce, the people will be disabled, and if you are disabled, you will be lenient. Wide to help fierce, fierce to help wide, government is to peace.

The Queen Mother used to be too merciful, so the subjects despised us. From now on, we should rectify it violently and make the subjects nervous, and there will be no time to talk about our martial artists. ”

Wu Chengsi said: "Brother Xian is right. The queen mother wants to destroy the hidden dangers of the martial arts, but she can't find the target to start, and the ministers think that they should mobilize the majority of subjects to report and expose each other, and then impose severe punishments, you can find all kinds of hidden dangers and targets! ”

Empress Wu nodded approvingly: "Well, Cheng Hei and I think together, I am most worried that I will secretly collude with each other, echo each other from afar, be friends with each other, and fan the people!" We must open the door to whistleblowers, let those who have the heart of rebellion and those who informant eat dogs, and I will take the opportunity to slash and kill, and subjugate the world! Hehe. ”

After the martial arts, he began to gradually carry out the operation of opening up the channel for the lower situation.

First of all, an edict was issued, requiring that the lung stone and Dengwen drum placed at the entrance of the official office should no longer be defended by the officials, and the common people could stand up to beat the drum when they went to the court to complain about their grievances. In this way, the situation can be conveyed in a timely manner.

Then, the legal document "Vertical Arch" was promulgated throughout the world, making it faster and more convenient for officials to enforce the law, try cases, and convict people. He also wrote a preface to the two volumes of "Ministers' Tracks", teaching officials at all levels the way of being ministers, so that the ministers could learn from them.

Then the "Seeking Merit System" was issued to the whole country, emphasizing that regardless of aristocratic or common people, as long as they are virtuous and talented, they can recommend themselves to the imperial court. This regulation completely broke the gate valve system of the scholar clan and opened up the channel for the promotion of the low-level personnel to the upper nobles!

These orders issued by Empress Wu showed that she wanted to rely on the vast number of low-level people to attack and challenge the nobles and nobles, so as to win the hearts of the people in the world.

On various occasions such as the court of the Shendu, banquets, evening parties, and groundbreaking ceremonies, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi widely publicized the Empress Dowager's good wish to directly observe public opinion and know about human affairs, and encouraged people to convey their feelings.

At this time, the inventor Yubaojia came into being and stepped onto the stage of history.

Yu Baojia is the son of Shi Peiyan's interrogation of Shi Yu Chengye, he likes to read Lu Ban's deeds since he was a child, and his interest is to engage in various inventions and creations, so his specialty is to engage in scientific and technological inventions, not to read the Four Books and Five Classics!

Yu Baojia makes use of his strengths and avoids his weaknesses, and does not plan to take the thankless one-plank bridge of the imperial examination, but intends to realize the value of life by engaging in various scientific and technological inventions.

The Yubao family heard from his father that the queen mother wanted to directly observe public opinion and know about human affairs, so they secretly paid attention. Back in your own workshop, look at the room full of intricate toys and mechanical models, and ponder.

Yu Baojia thought that if the Queen Mother wanted to directly observe public opinion and know about human affairs, then she would inevitably need a large box to collect letters from all kinds of people, and she must be able to enter and not leave, so as to ensure the secrecy of the letters and prevent leakage.

He studied the seal of his father's servant Shi Yu Chengye to the emperor. This letter is a sealed chapter, the courtiers write to the emperor to impeach or inform, in order to prevent leakage, must find a way to seal!

Generally, it is sealed with a soap sac, and the soap sac is a black gauze bag, and the courtiers put the music into the soap sac, and then put a double seal on the mouth of the sac to present it, which is a seal, which can well prevent leakage.

Yubaojia used his brains to actively research and develop, applied the basic principles of sealing to the big box, and made a scientific research achievement that shocked the world - Tongkuang!

He made a small model of the copper box out of wooden boards, and after the model was successfully tested, he sent a letter to the Empress Wu, requesting that the copper box be cast in order to receive the secret music of the people of the world. After inspecting the demonstration of the wooden model of the copper kuan, the Empress Wu praised the invention of the Yubao family.

This copper box, its function is similar to the current mailbox, suggestion box, report box, is the ancestor of the current mailbox, suggestion box, report box!

The design of the wooden model of the copper box is very exquisite, and the inside of the box is divided into four compartments: east, west, south and north, and each grid has a flat slot, also known as the letter hole, a total of four slots. Once the letter is inserted, the slap cannot be reached in, and it cannot be recovered, only the Queen Mother can open the box and read the letter.

On the east side of the box is written "Yan'en", and those who enter the ode and seek to become an official can submit a letter and sing praises of merit;

On the west side, it is written "redress of grievances", and those who have grievances and appeals can submit letters to complain about their grievances;

On the south side, it is written "admonishment", and those who talk about the gains and losses of the government can send letters and direct advice;

On the north side is written "Tongxuan", and those who talk about celestial phenomena, catastrophes, and military aircraft secrets can submit letters.

In the spring of the second year of the vertical arch, the Empress Wu ordered the casting of the copper box, and the Shaofu supervisor built the mold according to the mold model designed by the Yubao family, and then cast it with copper juice to cast it into a large copper suggestion box - copper box!

On March 8, Kong Nei led people to set up the cast bronze box in front of the city gate of Luoyang Palace, and there was a special person on duty to guard it, and ordinary people could also cross the bridge to submit letters.

This is truly an earth-shattering invention and idea! Only a woman like Empress Wu who has been empowered and has a big brain can think of it!

It was originally a privilege unique to a few courtiers to the emperor, but now the Empress Wu has used the copper to expand the right to seal the matter to the common people, and the number of people with this privilege has increased exponentially, so what kind of changes will happen to the situation in the world?

Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
