The former is that Li Yuan, who founded the Tang Empire, felt old and frail, tired, and had no energy to govern, and the country was beginning to rise and urgently need to be rectified.

As for the inner meditation in the last years of Tianbao, although it has been whitewashed by several generations of literati, the inglorious foundation is still known to the world.

Zen has to find a suitable reason, this is not a problem, ready-made reasons to grab a handful.

When today's son is riddled with serious illness, unable to speak, unable to write, unable to manage affairs, this matter has long been known to the subjects of the world, since the Su and the Dynasty, although the Son of Heaven has eaten and dressed, diligent and loves the people, but because of the Anshi Rebellion, the wound left by the Tang Dynasty is too deep, and it is still difficult to reverse the decline, the government needs to be refreshed, the society needs to be reformed, and the Tang Dynasty cannot afford to delay.

Wang Ling and Wang Shuwen formed a party for personal gain, acted perversely, betrayed the trust of the Son of Heaven, delayed the best opportunity to reform the government, and were the sinners of the Tang Dynasty. Although the prince's time in prison is short, he can set things right, won the support of hundreds of officials, and the people cheered.

has such a high-sounding reason, and can give an explanation to the people of the world.

These face-saving work naturally have to be done, but the inside of Zen is the key to everything, first of all, is the Son of Heaven willing to give the Zen position to Li Chun, this is a question, naturally this is not a big problem, Li Chun can let his father issue an edict to let him supervise the country, and naturally he can also persuade his father to give him Chan, this is not something that the ministers need to worry about.

What Li Mao and others need to worry about is the unexpected that may occur inside and outside the capital during the time of inner meditation, in short, inner meditation is a good thing, but a good thing cannot be turned into a bad thing because of sudden bad things.

The garrison in the Guanzhong area must be redeployed to defend against foreign invasion and guard against possible betrayal by the troops of the surrounding feudal towns, and the forbidden army stationed in Chang'an is ready to deal with emergencies.

Longshoushan was authorized to send eyes and ears to all provinces, temples, prisons, armies, guards, prefectures, counties, courts, and yamen stationed in Beijing to weave a surveillance network covering the entire Chang'an City.

Li Mao's strange army trained to deal with the "faceless" was secretly transferred to Beijing, and although the number of this army was small, it was destined to write a legend the moment it became an army.

When everything was ready, Li Chun announced the evidence of Wang Shuwen, Wang Ling, Han Tai, Chen Ji, Liu Zongyuan, Liu Yuxi, Han Ye, Ling Zhun, Cheng Yi, and others who had formed a party for personal gain, embezzled and accepted bribes, and imprisoned Wang Shuwen, Wang Ling, and Chen Ji, while Han Tai, Liu Yuxi, and Liu Zongyuan were demoted to local assassins.

After Wang Shuwen and the three were imprisoned, they could not bear the torture and torture, and confessed their guilt one after another, involving collusion with the fifth Shouliang and Shu Wang to rebel. The brothers of the Son of Heaven who could not bear to be killed conspired with the once reused prime minister to usurp the throne, so that the matter of maintaining their Son of Heaven was strictly confidential, considering that the matter was very important, Li Chun did not dare to be self-conscious, so he took the confessions of the three to meet the Son of Heaven.

He wanted to talk to his father.

What Li Chun said in Li Chen's dormitory, no one knows, but the conclusion quickly spread all over the world, and the Son of Heaven soon issued an edict, and the crown prince Li Chun changed his name to Chun, succeeded to the throne as emperor, and retired as the emperor himself.

On December 17, the 21st year of Zhenyuan, Li Chun ascended the throne in the Xuanzheng Palace, and the next day, Li Yu moved to Xingqing Palace.

Since the death of Li Shi in the first month of the twenty-first year of Zhenyuan, Li Yu succeeded to the throne, in less than a year, the Tang Dynasty changed three emperors, Li Yu enjoyed the short time in the world, and even his own year name has not had time to change.

The twenty-first year of Zhenyuan came to an abrupt end in a snowstorm.

The new emperor changed the name of the year to Yuanhe at the New Year's Day celebration, and led the ministers to visit Xingqing Palace to celebrate the New Year for the emperor, and when he returned, he left Li Mao behind.

The new emperor ascended the throne, the ministers and officials were promoted, and Li Mao was promoted from Honglu Shaoqing to the young eunuch in the palace.

The province of the palace, signed by the official. After the Wei and Jin dynasties, a palace supervisor was set up in the province under the door. The Sui Dynasty began to set up the palace province, Tang Wude changed the palace province to the palace province in the first year, in charge of the emperor's life, belonging to the food bureau, the medicine bureau, the clothing bureau, the Shang She Bureau, the Shang Tby Bureau, the Shang Yuan Bureau six bureaus.

In the second year of Longshuo, it was changed to the imperial palace, and the first year of Xianheng was restored. The central eunuch of the palace is the prefect, and the young eunuch is the adjutant.

Emperor Taishang moved to Xingqing Palace, and the province of the palace sent a young eunuch to worship, which was reasonable. After the rise of eunuch power in the Tang Dynasty, they continued to encroach on the power of the Southern Ya, and the power of the palace province was seized by the Xuanhui Institute of the Inner Court.

Li Mao's responsibility is to lead the guards of the forbidden army and guard the safety of the emperor.

This is undoubtedly Li Chun's great trust in Li Mao, Li Mao personally selected a group of capable people from the Youweiyuan Army to enter the Xingqing Palace, because he often worships in the Xingqing Palace, the post of military envoy is temporarily represented by Liu Wu, and the daily affairs are handled by Liu Wu.

As soon as the first month of the first year of Yuanhe passed, the ban issued a holy decree in succession, and Wang Shuwen, Wang Ling, and Chen Zhi were cut to the people, sent back to their hometowns, and were not allowed to enter the government for life. Han Tai, Liu Zongyuan, Liu Yuxi, Han Ye, Ling Zhun, Cheng Yi and others were demoted one level again, and they were demoted from the state assassin to Sima.

Prime Minister Wei Zhiyi guessed that he could not escape this catastrophe, so he sat at home and resigned himself to fate, and in early February of the first year of Yuanhe, Wei Zhiyi was ordered to reinstate the minister as the squire of the Ministry of Works.

After three days, he succeeded Yuan Zi as the general of Zuojin Wuwei, and was released as the envoy of Shannan West Road. To have this result, Wei Zhiyi was already satisfied, he went to Jing'anfang to thank Li Mao, and it was Xiao Ru who received him, Xiao Ru said: "Li Lang said that it was Du Xianggong who sponsored the general, and he had nothing to do with him. ”

Wei Zhiyi was stunned and left for a while.

On the day when Wang Shuwen left Beijing and returned home, Li Mao sat in Xingqing Palace, and sent personnel to supervise the remote control of Longshou Mountain.

After the Emperor Li Yu moved to Xingqing Palace, he didn't ask about anything, and only Niu Zhaorong and Li Zhongyan were left around. Li Mao and Tutu Chengxuan were neither summoned nor explained.

The night before yesterday, when Li Mao went to the dormitory to perform as usual, Li Yu went against the norm, summoned him into the palace, and asked him when Wang Shuwen would leave Beijing, Li Mao did not dare to hide it, and replied that he would leave Beijing in two days. Li Yu asked Wang Shuwen where he would go, and Li Mao replied that he would return to his hometown of Yuezhou.

Li Yu was silent for a long time, and Niu Zhaorong spoke on his behalf to ask Li Mao to retreat.

Although he didn't say a word, Li Mao knew that he should talk back to Li Chan, and it was his business whether he saw it or not.

Tu Tu Chengguang was instructing a few little eunuchs to prune flowers and trees outside the dormitory, and when he saw Li Mao, he smiled and said, "I don't know if the Emperor Taishang is willing to summon us tonight." ”

Li Mao said with a smile: "The sacred heart is unpredictable, how dare you guess." ”

Tutu Chengguang said: "The Sacred Heart is unfathomable, but this is the ...... of the Supreme Sacred Heart":

Li Mao said categorically: "That is also the Sacred Heart." ”

The words brushed his sleeves away, and he suddenly stared at him for a long time, and he also flicked his sleeves like Li Mao, and hummed: "Virtue." ”

Li Yu didn't want to see Li Mao, he heard that he was replying to Wang Shuwen's whereabouts and then summoned him unusually, Li Yu couldn't speak, the meaning all relied on Niu Zhaorong's speculation, Zhaorong was the concubine, it was inconvenient to see the ministers, hiding behind the bead curtain, and Li Zhongyan relied on Li Zhongyan to relay what he had to say.

Li Zhongyan asked: "Is what Wang Shuwen did right or wrong?" ”

Li Mao said: "Removing the old and making the new cut right is to the point and there is no mistake." ”

Li Zhongyan asked again: "Since there is no mistake, why did you fail?" ”

Li Mao said: "Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and people who are riddled with stubborn diseases, using fierce medicine without permission is not to cure diseases but to kill." Wang Shuwen's fault is that he is too manipulative. ”

Li Zhongyan asked again: "Is it wrong for the Son of Heaven to depose him for the crime of forming a party for personal gain, you tell the truth, and you are not guilty." ”

Li Mao said: "The state system is chaotic, and if the prime minister does not use his own people, it may be difficult to implement his will. ”

Li Zhongyan added: "In this case, it is not a crime to form a party. ”

Li Mao said: "The sin is in selfishness. ”

After being silent for a while, Niu Zhaorong asked behind the bead curtain, "How should a seriously ill person be treated?" ”

Li Mao said: "The minister is a leading general, and he does not dare to discuss the gains and losses of the government. ”

Niu Zhaorong said: "Shu'er is not guilty. ”

Li Mao said: "The method of curing the disease should first find out the root of the disease, cut off its source, and then slowly apply the medicine to stabilize the disease, accumulate small victories into big victories, and slowly eliminate them." ”

Niu Zhaorong asked again: "How should we deal with today's situation?" ”

Li Mao said: "This is discussed by the prime minister, and the minister does not dare to discuss it." ”

Niu Zhaorong said: "It's okay to discuss. ”

Li Mao said: "Today's ills are first in the heart, the heart is festering, and the spirit is sluggish. The heart is heavy, dragging down the world, causing the economy to wither, the people's hearts are tired, and the hands and feet cannot be completely cured. To save the disease of the heart of the world, the first thing is to cultivate virtue in the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven will cheer up and seek treatment, so that the ministers and the people can lift their spirits. The abdomen is strong, although the limbs are diseased, they can also be slowly figured, the abdomen is sluggish, and the chaos in the world will not be straightened out. ”

Niu Zhaorong asked: "Hand and foot diseases are mild, but abdominal and heart diseases are serious, how about the easy first and then the difficult?" ”

Li Mao said: "You can pick a soft persimmon and pinch it to the world to see, in order to boost people's hearts, but the minister thinks that if the Son of Heaven does not cultivate virtue, he will not be able to cure the root cause, and he will lose people's hearts after a long time, and there is no solution to the chaos in the world." ”

Niu Zhaorong said to the left and right: "You all retreat, the Emperor Taishang has a few words to say to Li Mao alone." ”

After everyone retreated, Li Zhongyan opened the bead curtain and welcomed Li Mao in.

Suddenly Tu Chenghuang Marquis was outside the dormitory, pacing around with his hands behind his back, seeing Li Mao not coming out for a long time, he was surprised, and suddenly saw the eunuchs and palace maids coming out one after another, and was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "What are you all doing when you come out, and you are not allowed to wait inside?" ”

The eunuchs replied: "The Emperor Taishang has something to say to Li Mao alone, and orders us to retreat." ”

Tutu Chenghuang opened his mouth and was stunned for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, he coughed twice, and explained to the eunuchs and palace maids: "The Emperor Taishang summoned Young Eunuch Li alone, there must be something important to explain, this is a state secret, and whoever dares to leak half a word, I will skin him." ”

The skinning in Tutu Chengxuan's mouth is by no means an alarmist threat, although he has not met Tian Ji'an, he has been friends for a long time, for the same reason, both of them like to skin people. (Dissertation College)
