Chapter 5 Entering the palace late at night for secret talks
Li Ji smiled, Zhang Mao had obviously entered the urn, and the time to pretend to be forced had come: "I will show you a clear way, I will ask you first, who does this Tang world belong to?" ”
Zhang Mao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled, where did he dare to be arrogant: "This world is naturally Your Majesty's."
Li Ji became a little excited: "But now that the Tang Dynasty is controlled by traitors, what I want to do is to destroy the traitor Zhu Wen and restore my Tang Zhengshuo!" Pei Shu Kong Lin obeyed the order! ”
Pei Shu and Kong Lin hurriedly knelt on the ground to listen to the order, and Li Ji said with a straight face: "I ordered you two to break into Zhu Wen's interior and pretend to cling to Zhu Wen's rebels." Wait for my orders, and wait for the opportunity to move. ”
Pei Shu and Kong Lin didn't intend to live when they entered the palace this time, but Zhu Wen knew that they had to break the two of them into pieces. What they didn't expect was that after seeing His Majesty, this emperor was not like an ignorant child in his teens. On the contrary, he is smart and wise, and he is very bold, and he is very happy in his heart.
Pei Shu asked, "Your Majesty, Zhu Wen has always been very suspicious. I am afraid that it will be difficult for the two of us to gain his trust, and how will he explain to Zhu Wen about entering the palace today? ”
Kong Lin was also quite worried, yes, although he subdued Zhang Mao. But the two of them entered the palace late at night, naturally to plot other things, how to deceive Zhu Wen, which was very difficult.
Zhu Wen can have today, naturally he is not a vegetarian. If you make up a random reason, you will definitely not be able to deceive him, but it will make him more suspicious.
Li Ji knows that as a puppet emperor, Li Ji in history did not have any real power, and during his reign, he actually did not issue any actual decrees, he was just a puppet who was manipulated at will.
When a new emperor ascends the throne, he usually uses a new era name. And Zhu Wen did not want to continue the Tang Dynasty, because Li Ji reigned for three years, and it was Zhaozong's era name Tianyu that has been continued.
During the reign of Li Ji in history, he only did two things, and he did not succeed.
One thing is that in September of the second year of Tianyou, in the name of the palace decree, his nursing mother was crowned as Zhaoyi and Mrs. Jun. Among them, the nursing mother Yang gave the name Zhaoyi, the nursing mother Wang's wife was named the county lady, and another nurse who was also surnamed Wang had been named the county lady when Zhaozong, and also planned to allow the Yang family to change the title to Zhaoyi, which was objected to by the prime minister, who said: "The nursing mother has no precedent for the wife to give internal positions since ancient times." Later, following this example is really against the canonical system. When Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty named the nursing mother Song as the king of Shanyang, and the nursing mother of Emperor An Wang as the wild king, there was a lot of discussion in the court. The ministers discussed, under the current situation, it is advisable to seek the old, and hope to give the Yang family an Shengjun, the Wang family as the Fu Shengjun, and the second Wang family as Kang Shengjun. Li Ji had no choice but to comply.
The other thing is that in November of the second year of Tianyou, Li Ji prepared to worship the heavens on the 19th of the ancestral shrine. At that time, the yamen had already made all preparations for holding ceremonies, and the prime minister had already gone down to the southern suburbs to familiarize himself with the relevant ceremonies. However, Zhu Wen was very unhappy when he heard it, thinking that the suburban ceremony was held with the intention of extending the Tang Dynasty. The presiding officer was frightened and used the excuse of rescheduling the matter to settle the matter.
At this time, Li Ji could take advantage of this matter to make a big fuss, so he said to Pei Shu and Kong Lin: "When you went to return to Zhu Wen, you said that I summoned the two of you into the palace today because I wanted to go to Yuanqiu to worship the heavens. And the two of you clearly told Zhu Wen that you are resolutely opposed to this matter. As long as he says this, Zhu Wen will definitely be satisfied, and his vigilance against the two of you will be relaxed, and the next thing is to see the ability of the two of you to adapt to the situation. ”
Youwei is still a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, why is this?" Why did Master Pei and Master Kong not agree to His Majesty's sacrifice to the heavens, and Zhu Wen would be satisfied? ”
Pei Shu and Kong Lin were already clear in their hearts, and Kong Lin was overjoyed: "This plan is very good, then Zhu Wen is most afraid of the continuation of the Tang Dynasty, if the ministers oppose His Majesty's sacrifice to the sky, Zhu Wen will definitely be happy." ”
This matter still needs to be advised, because Li Ji can't afford to lose. He said to everyone in the house: "Tonight's affairs must be kept secret, even your closest relatives must not divulge half a sentence." It is not an overnight thing to bring down Zhu Wen. So the two Aiqing are going to be a traitor who has been stinking for thousands of years. ”
Pei Shu and Kong Lin bowed, and Pei Shu said: "Your Majesty, if you can bring down Zhu Wen and achieve my Tang Dynasty, it will be worth it even if the minister is infamous for the ages." ”
Kong Lin even said: "As long as you can destroy the Zhu Wen dog thief, it is not a pity for the minister to die." ”
Li Ji smiled: "I also want to be a faint king, a faint monarch who ignores current affairs and is incompetent, so that I can hide from Zhu Wen's traitors." Zhang Mao, you continue to inform King Liang of my every move, remember, don't make King Liang suspicious. Pei Aiqing, Kong Aiqing, the two of you are responsible for breaking into the Liangwang Group. Zhu Wen is suspicious, and the two of you will seize this point to divide and disintegrate the relationship between them. Remember, make sure you do it well and don't let people get you by the way. I don't have to worry about the two adults, but I want to remind you that you can use your brains in everything, and nothing can't be solved. ”
Pei Shu and Kong Lin bowed down to receive the order, and Li Ji was most worried about Zhang Mao, who needed to be beaten from time to time to prevent him from swaying again.
"Zhang Mao, you remember to me that this Tang Dynasty is mine, and one day I will get it back. If you are dedicated to assisting me, I will not treat you badly in the future. If you dare to betray me, don't think that I can't cure you. ”
"Hmph, the first minister won't let you go when the time comes!" Pei Shu also said angrily.
Kong Lin also understood what the emperor meant, and also stood up: "And me, Zhang Mao, if Your Majesty has three long and two short." Although we will also be buried together, but after all, I am a court servant, and it will be easy to drag you into the water with a little chief of guard."
Where did Zhang Mao dare to have a different heart, and hurriedly bowed down: "The villain doesn't dare, the villain will definitely swear allegiance to His Majesty, and he won't dare to bear the infamy of the ages." ”
Most of these martial artists are simple-minded, and Li Ji must explain it to him again, so as not to make a mistake: "Zhang Mao, I let you be loyal to me secretly." Don't let people see the slightest flaw, on the bright side, you are still Zhu Wen's person, do you understand? ”
"The villain understands." This time Zhang Mao stood up.
Li Ji was very happy, at least he didn't let himself down too much today: "Okay, let's all step down." Just as we said tonight. When he asked about it, King Liang said that I had summoned the two Aiqing to discuss the matter of sacrificing to the heavens. ”
Now that the words were opened, the crowd said no more. After all, this place is not a place to stay for a long time, Pei Shu and Kong Lin sighed again, and then said goodbye to Li Ji and left the Ming'an Palace.
Who knew that as soon as he arrived at the gate of the hall, a person came over and blocked the way, Jiang Xuanhui.
I saw Jiang Xuanhui with a few guards, blocking the door with a cold face and asking, "The two adults entered the palace late at night, what happened?" ”
Jiang Xuanhui is Zhu Wen's hardcore dogleg, Zhu Wen is not in the capital, everything is handled by him. It turned out that the guards outside the door were afraid of being implicated after all, and Zhu Wen was not there, so someone hurriedly went to inform Jiang Xuanhui.
He just announced the emperor's enthronement 'edict', and some ministers entered the palace late at night, how could Jiang Xuanhui not be surprised. When he heard this, his face changed greatly, and he didn't care about anything else, so he panicked and came to the palace with two hundred guards to prevent accidents.
