Li Zhihe chuckled, "Pei Xiang, you don't have to be nervous, you don't even have to answer, because I know far more than you imagine, and I know the answer!" ”

He patted this person on the shoulder to show comfort, and then continued: "The reason is that the emperor asked me to invite the Taoist chief back then, and the Taoist chief followed me into the palace, and the emperor asked him to pinch three people, and they were three women, do you know which three people they are?" ”

Pei Yan swallowed a mouthful of foam fiercely, "Is it Empress Wu, Wei's, Concubine De?" ”

Li Zhi nodded, "The Empress Wu is self-evident, because it is too important, the specific hexagram cannot be said!" Webster's and Concubine De are selected from the eight characters of a couplet's birthday, and Webster's hexagram is like a disaster in the palace and in the elbows and armpits, so the emperor has ordered you to take precautions in advance! The hexagram of Concubine De is blessed to the soul, the teaching is well-organized, the official star is revealed, and the star is more prosperous, which is the noble appearance of great luck! ”

Pei Yan looked at Li Zhiliang blankly for a long time, then lowered his head and muttered for a long time, and finally opened his mouth and said: "I understand, that Dao chief is a living immortal, and the metaphor in it is too deep!" ”

Li Zhi smiled: "Oh? Let's talk about it! ”

"Mr. Li, you see, Webster's hexagram has actually appeared under my close observation, and this matter may be confirmed within the year, I want to talk about the hexagram of Concubine De. What Mr. Li said, I also heard it, the unborn son of Concubine De is the future emperor's appearance! Moreover, the Taoist also revealed two points at the same time, one is that there are more than 20 years after the usurpation of the throne by the Empress Wu; Second, when the year comes, the royal family surnamed Li will rise again and return to the right path of the king, which is also the ultimate protection purpose of Mr. Li! ”

"Pei Xiang, I didn't say the hexagram of the martial queen, why do you think so firmly?"

"I don't need a long hexagram, I also know this woman's temperament, and she doesn't even let go of her own son for the sake of power, and the prince is powerless to stop it, this matter has already become inevitable!"

Li Zhi once again brought out the non-existent old Tao today, and put some of Sun Simiao's deeds on the old way, in fact, there are still quite a lot of loopholes, but there is a premise, Pei Yan did not dare to ask Gaozong for verification.

And even if Gaozong knew about this, he also understood Li Zhi's intentions, if he wanted to recapture the usurped Li Tang Jiangshan, and the Li Tang clan would not be slaughtered, he would need Li Zhi's protection, so it was necessary to help him maintain this lie.

And he didn't need to prove anything himself, just two ambiguous coughs, and he could deal with the past.

It's just that Li Zhi concluded that Pei Yan not only didn't dare to ask for verification, but also rotted this information in his stomach, because this person knew the risk, but still risked being beheaded to promise Gaozong to be the auxiliary minister, and embarking on this road of no return is by no means purely for rights.

Moreover, it is true that this is indeed the case, now Li Zhi has extended Gaozong's life span by one year, and the killing of this person has also been postponed for one year, otherwise he would have asked Luoyang Dutingyi in October this year.

It was precisely because he couldn't bear it in his heart that Li Zhicai made these things up, hoping that he would realize the irreversibility of the general trend, whether to avoid or retreat, so that he could make a decision in his heart.

But apparently Li Zhi's goal was not achieved, and it seemed that he did not realize these other than the shock at the beginning.

As for the abolition of the emperor that this person will influence, Li Zhi doesn't think that he can't exert influence, and he also doesn't think that Empress Wu has already planned to replace Li Xian, Pei Yan's advice just gave her an excuse.

In fact, Pei Yan's consideration of himself was far less than his worry about the development of the situation, and then he asked: "Dare to ask Mr. Li, why does the emperor only focus on women, and not some men in the martial arts?" ”

"That's why I just asked you, because the martial queen's intention is irreversible! The power of example is endless, the birth of an empress, because of its drive, the political arena of the Tang Empire, there will inevitably be more women who are keen on power, they follow the example of their predecessor Wu Zetian, and intervene in the politics of the empire in various ways.

Its influence should not be underestimated. ”

"But even if it comes true, it will only be a phenomenon, and it is the influence and destructive power of men that is the greatest."

"Since a phenomenon will be formed, there will inevitably be a certain law hidden in it, find out the key person, wouldn't it be even if it can't be stifled in advance, it will hold on to this line and start to divide and conquer?"

"It seems to be somewhat understood, but it is estimated that my Lao Pei may not live to that stage, although I know that the emperor must have relevant arrangements, and I must give Mr. Li a deep salute here, and I must help at a critical time, so as not to save my Datang from now on!"

Li Zhi did not stop Pei Yan from getting up and bowing this time, and accepted it calmly in order to give him back peace of mind.

After this person was seated here, Li Zhiyan said: "Women are involved in politics, but in fact, they are no different from male officials, they are nothing more than selling official positions, interfering in criminal proceedings, cultivating party henchmen, committing lawlessness, and relying on power to do wrong!" But the greatest scourge is to listen to the government, and when the bureaucrats begin to become accustomed to bowing down to a woman, it is the initiators of the emergence of the phenomenon you have just mentioned. ”

Pei Yan fell into deep thought, and gradually understood why Gaozong alone raised his attention to the crown prince Wei.

Li Zhi's mouth kept talking: "After all, it is not the norm of palace politics to listen to politics, on the contrary, it is an emergency move under special circumstances, and it is an expedient measure based on long-term interests." In this regard, many ministers who have read the books of the sages are bound to be dissatisfied with this, so it is all the more important to maintain internal unity and avoid major mistakes in governance. But the foundation of unity is built on the fact that although the curtain is lowered to listen to politics, but not in love with power, how many people are there in the history of a generation of virtuous queens? Once you are not soberly aware of this, the result of the expansion of the desire for power will be the chaos of the dynasty, raising male pets, and living a luxurious life, which is the biggest drawback of women's politics! ”

"In fact, the main reason is still different from person to person, just like the difference between the joys and sorrows of the lives of two women in the Northern Wei Dynasty?" Pei Yan quickly found the answer for himself.

As the home of the feudal emperor, there has always been a customary system of "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics".

On his deathbed, Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty even did not hesitate to kill his favorite Mrs. Gouyi, in order to put an end to the cute disaster of the young son and the mother and the heroine to disrupt the country, and opened the royal political tradition of "the death of the son and the mother".

As Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who opened the way of a new regime, he probably would not have imagined that this system would have influenced future generations for thousands of years.

In the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was established by the Xianbei people, this system was completely inherited by the Tuoba family, and became the only magic weapon to ensure the smooth transition of imperial power in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

So the question is, should women hang the curtain and listen to politics?

For the royal family in the feudal imperial society, when faced with the embarrassing situation of "the son is young and the mother is strong", objectively speaking, it is wise to put an end to the fall of imperial power in the way of "the death of the son and the mother", but more of them are the true portrayal of "ruthlessness is the most emperor's family".

So the difference in Pei Yan's mouth, and the joys and sorrows of the two women in the Northern Wei Dynasty, can explain all this very well.

In 436 AD, the Feng family of the Northern Yan royal family was wiped out by the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the young Empress Dowager Feng was punished and confiscated to the Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao Shen Palace as a slave.

After that, Feng became the queen of Emperor Wencheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty by virtue of her intelligence and wit, and the two were harmonious and loving husband and wife.

It's a pity that the heavens are not beautiful, and within less than two months of becoming the empress, the young Emperor Wencheng died violently, according to the political tradition of the Northern Wei Dynasty "the death of the son and the mother", the biological mother of the prince Tuoba Hong, Li, was given to die, and the Empress Dowager Feng was also in the funeral ranks according to the custom.

But on the day of Emperor Wencheng's cremation, due to Empress Dowager Feng's deep affection, she suddenly rushed into the crematorium to accompany the burial of the first emperor.

thereafter

The 12-year-old little emperor Tuoba Hong ascended the throne, and the Empress Dowager Feng listened to the government and became the little emperor's right-hand man.

But with the gradual adulthood of Tuoba Hong, the mother and son gradually became disliked for power and intensified, and Tuoba Hong was defeated in the cruel power struggle, so he had to pass the throne to his son Tuoba Hong, known as Emperor Xiaowen in history.

The young Emperor Xiaowen, with the assistance of his grandmother Empress Dowager Feng, began a process of continuous reform in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Juntian system and the modulation of rents were gradually rolled out at this time.

The Northern Wei Dynasty prospered under the rule of Empress Dowager Feng, which also laid a solid foundation for the reform of Emperor Xiaowen thereafter.

It can be said that the Northern Wei Dynasty did not have the Empress Dowager Feng, and there was no reform of Emperor Xiaowen later, and the Empress Dowager Feng and the Northern Wei Dynasty had a historical position comparable to that of Shang Ying.

After the completion of a series of major reform measures in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the elderly Empress Dowager Feng died suddenly, and Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong was grief-stricken and buried the Empress Dowager Feng with the specifications of the monarch.

Empress Dowager Feng's curtain of obedience to the government created the prerequisites for the prosperity of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and even paved the way for the reform of Emperor Xiaowen that influenced later generations.

It shows that women listen to the government, and not only did the Empress Dowager Feng not have the drawbacks of causing chaos in the dynasty, but on the contrary, it promoted the prosperity of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

So are all the heroines able to bear the historical burden of protecting their families and defending the country by listening to the government?

In contrast, Hu Chonghua, the empress of Emperor Xuanwu Yuanke, not only did not make the Northern Wei Dynasty strong, but caused the Northern Wei Dynasty to fall into the disaster of annihilation, what is going on?

Yuan Ke is the son of Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong, and is also a famous prosperous emperor in history, under his rule, the Northern Wei attacked the Southern Dynasty in the south, and the Rouran in the north, and the national strength and even the territory were extremely prosperous.

However, Yuan Ke died violently after 16 years as emperor, and the 6-year-old crown prince Yuan Xu ascended the throne.

However, due to Yuan Ke's belief in Buddhism and the abolition of the Northern Wei Dynasty's "son and mother die" system, the Empress Dowager Hu Chonghua survived.

In terms of her comprehensive personal quality, this Hu Chonghua is strong in martial arts, skilled in bows and horses, and brilliant in writing, so it stands to reason that she should become Yuan Xu's right-hand man.

As the auxiliary empress dowager, Hu Chonghua just began to listen to the government and purge the dynasty, and the atmosphere of the Northern Wei Dynasty was also completely renewed.

However, due to the expansion of the desire for power, Hu Chonghua became more and more fond of male pets, indulged in selfish desires, and indulged in luxury.

And Hu Chonghua, in order to keep his vested power, he poisoned his own son Yuan Ke to death regardless of human ethics, which caused the rebel general Er Zhurong of the Six Towns to drop his mouth and send troops to Luoyang, and then the Northern Wei Dynasty completely fell into the pattern of warlord melee.

The Northern Wei Dynasty was in a state of collapse, and Hu Chonghua was later captured and killed by Er Zhurong's rebels.

It can be said that under the curtain of the two powerful women of Empress Dowager Feng and Hu Chonghua in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the political situation went to two extreme opposite directions.

Empress Dowager Feng listened to politics with the curtain, and the sensitive nerves of female politicians paved the way for the Northern Wei Dynasty to create a prosperous era of filial piety and literature, while Hu Chonghua took care of his own selfishness and completely pushed the great Northern Wei Dynasty into a situation of no return.

Li Zhi's statement was more based on a more comprehensive understanding of the entire history of Dongtu, and when Pei Yan heard it, he felt that he was referring to the story of two women that happened hundreds of years ago.

Li Zhi did not make a correction, but quickly changed the topic, so as not to make too many mistakes, just like Princess Anle who will cause trouble in the court in the future, that person will not be born until the end of this year, and this is also a key person.

If you accidentally leak your mouth, you won't be able to justify yourself at that time. (https:)
