Chapter 1070: The Situation
Lose face! It's a real shame!
As a time-traveling person, Chen Fei began to doubt life for the first time after coming to Datang.
He didn't remember such an important thing until the first ship was built. Now that there is no one to control the ship to launch the sea trial, it is estimated that it will take several months to wait for the imperial court to approve the establishment of a sailor, and then it will take another month or two to recruit a sailor. In the end, it will take a few years to train. In this way, the plan to lead the fleet to the expedition will be postponed for a long time. Worse still, he hadn't thought about this before, and his mind had been thinking about how to build the ship. So now....... Dumbfounded!
It's good to have a sailor....... The others were also completely unaware, so he found out ....... Well, it's not too late, there's still a chance to make amends.
Chen Fei didn't care about attending the celebration banquet held by Yang Tingshi, he was now only thinking about going back to write a recital and sending someone to Chang'an.
A month after the book was sent, Chen Fei received a letter from Chang'an City. The letter was written by Xu Jingzong, and he wrote a full five pages, telling Chen Fei everything that had happened in Chang'an City in recent months. At the same time, he also complained to Chen Fei. During the period of Chen Fei's absence, Xu Jingzong was squeezed out by the eldest grandson Wuji's faction, and there were all kinds of targets in the court, and now even if he stood in the court class and did not squeak, some people would deliberately lead the topic to him, making him miserable.
However, Chen Fei looked at the content of the letter, although Xu Jingzong was excluded, this guy should still have a good time in the court. Because he keenly discovered a problem from Xu Jingzong's letters, that is, the contradiction between Li Zhi and the eldest grandson Wuji gradually became prominent! The turning point of the contradiction is Wu Zetian's entry into the palace!
Li Zhi still couldn't withstand the temptation of Wu Zetian's beauty, and two months ago, he insisted on taking Wu Zetian into the palace. This was naturally opposed by the civil officials led by the eldest grandson Wuji, and the opposition was very unpleasant, and some people even said directly in front of Li Zhi that marrying the concubine of the first emperor was immoral, violating the etiquette and disgrace the imperial family.
Li Zhi fryed the pot when he heard it, originally he still had some scruples, he just revealed his style, and wanted to test the reaction of the ministers, but later the ministers said it so ugly, as soon as his stubborn temper came up, he couldn't take care of so much, and directly took Wu Zetian into the palace.
Chen Fei can also roughly figure out Li Zhi's psychology, don't look at Li Zhi's usual appearance of being weak and weak, but in fact, his heart is very strong. It is precisely because he was labeled as "weak in temperament" by Li Shimin and other ministers before he ascended the throne, so in his heart, he was very eager to change himself and get rid of the label of "weak temperament". Therefore, he is sometimes very sensitive to the evaluation of outsiders, and it is easy to do some extreme things, especially when everyone is unanimously against him, he likes to do the opposite of those ministers.
And Wu Zetian's matter brought the relationship between Li Zhi and the ministers to a freezing point. Originally, there were contradictions between the two sides because of the reform and Chen Fei's knighthood, and finally the relationship eased a little, but I didn't expect a Wu Zetian to be born, which caused contradictions to break out between the two sides. It can only be said that Wu Zetian's charm is too great, and Wu Meiniang is not called in vain.
In fact, Li Zhi seems to have a weak temperament, but in fact, he has a very stubborn temper, and it is difficult to change the things he believes, he originally just wanted to inform everyone and let them support him by the way, because in his opinion, Wu Zetian must be accepted into the palace, but he didn't expect the ministers to react so violently, almost pointing at his nose and scolding. So as soon as Li Zhi's stubborn temper came up, he didn't care about it.
After that, things were very simple and rude, because of the opposition of this matter, the relationship between Li Zhi and the ministers was very bad, so that there were often disputes in the subsequent court meetings, but the final result was that Li Zhi was defeated.
A group of ministers over 30 years old with rich life experience besieged Li Zhi alone, how did Li Zhi cope with it? It is inevitable to be oppressed, even if he is the emperor.
Fortunately, Xu Jingzong is indeed smart, although he did not argue with those ministers in the court (because he could not argue with them in terms of his level. But after he dispersed, he often went to Li Zhi's side to send warmth, so during this time, although some people tried to drag Xu Jingzong into the water, they were all blocked by Li Zhi.
A letter, five pages, made Chen Fei clear about the current situation in the court. Sure enough, the choice of coming to Jiangnan was correct, otherwise I don't know if I am silently suffering from the bombardment of a bunch of people now.
"Hehe, Wu Zetian? You really didn't disappoint me. Chen Fei looked at the letter and muttered to himself.
At the end of the letter, Xu Jingzong asked Chen Fei euphemistically, what should he do next, is he facing the courtiers? Or continue to hide behind it like now, and use healing techniques to soothe Li Zhi's injured heart.
"Hehe, this Xu Jingzong really wants to get something for nothing. Your Majesty is not a fool, and it will definitely not be much good to just hide behind your back and shout cheers. Not...... Well, it's not a good thing to let him not be too showy, lest it swell up and weigh on me at the end. ”
Chen Fei raised his hand and burned the letter paper in his hand. Then he wrote a few lines on the paper, folded it and put it in an envelope, sealed it with baking paint, and asked someone to send it to Chang'an.
However, this letter was not addressed to Xu Jingzong, but to Li Zhi. Chen Fei wrote a few words of concern and greetings, and remotely applied "healing techniques" to Li Zhi, believing that he would receive a reply from Li Zhi soon, and then he could grasp Li Zhi's thoughts more clearly....... Hehe, I hope those civil officials will not be so short-sighted, bullying on the imperial power will never end well, if they are really smart enough, they should be able to realize this earlier, if they have been obsessed, even if it is for themselves, I am afraid he will have to do some measures. Otherwise, the clique of civilian-bureaucratic officials twisted into a rope is really terrible!
Chen Fei remembered that the middle and late Ming Dynasty was almost the world of civil officials, and that group of stubborn nerds was really terrible! If it weren't for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid that if it continues to develop like this, the imperial power will really become an empty shelf.
Although this is conducive to the emergence of democracy, it is ....... Don't you think it's not the time yet? Besides, who knows if these ministers will have some different thoughts? If there is really no one to restrain these ministers to a certain extent, then Li Zhi ....... Can you still be considered an emperor? Li Zhi has fallen, where should he go?
Chen Fei doesn't like to leave his fate in the hands of others, so he ...... He's going to fight too! Above the court, there is no right or wrong, only winning or losing!
