Chapter 1800: Between Advance and Retreat

"Queen, the old minister really doesn't understand why you are doing this, at this time, you should quickly find Li Yifu and Yuan Gongyu, and everyone will work together to persuade Your Majesty, how can you sit still and wait for death."

Xu Jingzong was a gesture in front of Wu Meiniang, foaming at the mouth.

Now he is really anxious, because the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to Wu Meiniang, not to mention the relationship between him and Wu Meiniang, even if he is completely loyal to Li Zhi, he will feel very nervous, because he is the number one hero of the abolition of Wang Liwu.

And they rose in the struggle, and at this moment he thought it was time to pick up the pen and ink and continue the fight.

What he didn't expect was that Wu Meiniang asked them to calm down at this moment, stop playing Li Zhi again, talk about those big truths, and prevent Li Yifu from coming, and at the same time asked Xu Jingzong to tell those people below that Hongchen is Hongchen, and Hongchen is not Wang Xuan, which is equivalent to denying this fact in her heart.

This Xu Jingzong was very puzzled.

Wu Meiniang was silent for a long time before she slowly spoke: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, and we are loyal ministers, if you look at it from this point of view, do you think it is a respect for Your Majesty to quarrel over this matter?" Will this be good for the country? ”

“......!”

Xu Jingzong was stunned, why did Wu Meiniang, who has always liked fighting, actually talk about the big truth at this moment, why did you go earlier?

And there is no right or wrong in politics, if you don't kill her, she will kill you in the future.

Wu Meiniang said again: "In short, I am against anyone making this matter more complicated, and whoever wants to do this will be the enemy of me, Your Majesty, and even the entire Tang Dynasty." Tell me this to those who like to tell the truth. ”

Xu Jingzong looked at Wu Meiniang in surprise, it can be seen that Wu Meiniang's face is resolute, and there seems to be no room for negotiation, so he can only arch his hand and say: "The old minister understands." ”

Now that Li Yifu is not there, he is the main force here, if Wu Meiniang does not take the lead, then he is helpless.

Wu Meiniang said: "You stand down." ”

"The old minister retired."

After Xu Jingzong retreated, Yang immediately said: "Daughter, if you do this, you are a lot more relieved for your mother, and your mother also supports you in doing this, but you have to think about it, if you do this, then Your Majesty will think that all this is manipulated by you behind your back." ”

Wu Meiniang said: "But at the same time, Your Majesty also knows that I really gave in." ”

Yang was stunned and looked at Wu Meiniang in some surprise.

"Mother, my daughter is tired, you can go back and rest, these days, you are tired enough to run around." Wu Meiniang closed her eyes and sighed, her face was full of frustration, this kind of emotion was rarely seen on her face, because she was the kind of person who was full of fighting spirit and strived for the top, unless she died, otherwise, she would not stop her steps.

It can be seen that this incident has threatened her life.

In her opinion, if they lose this time, they will not die or be crippled, and if they win this time, it will only dig a grave for them in advance.

Because she knows Li Zhi too well, Li Zhi rarely fights the enemy, he is very tolerant and can pretend to be a grandson, but at the same time, he will definitely kill you, this gentleman is not too late to take revenge for ten years, which is vividly reflected in Li Zhi.

If they want to continue to fight, Wu Meiniang herself can predict what Li Zhi will do next, and Li Zhi is likely to make concessions in the matter of Hongchen, because no matter how much they say about this matter, it is also Li Zhi's fault, and Li Zhi will not compete with them in this matter. But Li Zhi will immediately transfer Han Yi, Pei Xingjian, Zhao Zhiman, and all the generals and officials who oppose Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu back to the court, these people plus the emperor's halo, their chances of winning are really not high!

Wu Meiniang is indeed helpless in this matter, so she chose this strategy, anyway, Li Zhi has already decided that she did it, so she simply admitted it, but now I know that I am wrong, I know that I am lost, I will never make a noise again, you can do what you want, this is actually a sign of surrender.

But it's not that Wu Meiniang doesn't have that ability, it's just that she thinks that it's not cost-effective to go to that point for a Wang Xuan, she is not as good as before, she used to be a life, she dared to gamble on everything, but now the situation has been reversed, Wang Xuan is a cheap life, she is a high queen, of course she will not take all her belongings to gamble with Wang Xuan.

This is also where Wu Meiniang is better than Wang Xuan at the beginning, as a queen, she must know how to advance and retreat, she must be able to stand the grievances, and she does not have to fight for right and wrong in everything.

Wang Xuan quarreled with Li Zhi every day, and she would never compromise, and she couldn't be wronged a little, so Wu Meiniang was able to succeed every time she planted a guy. And Wu Meiniang knew very well at this time, comparing her heart to her heart, she was unwilling to fight, to fight, and Li Zhi didn't necessarily want to fight to the death with them, because if this continues, most of the court may face purges, and even affect the prince, which is the most fatal, and Li Zhi likes Li Hong very much.

So Wu Meiniang thinks that as long as she kneels, don't force Li Zhi out of breath, Li Zhi will not move her easily, and the worst result is that Li Zhi will bring Wang Xuan into the palace and become a concubine, which she has prepared in her heart early in the morning, and wait until Li Zhi has passed this freshness, and then slowly clean up Wang Xuan.

After this Wu Meiniang's order went down, the number of chapters against Hongchen was immediately reduced by ninety, and the queen said so, who would dare to risk this.

"You always say that I misunderstood the queen, you see, did I wronged the queen? Suddenly, there are eighty or ninety percent less concerts, don't tell me that my courtiers have such a tacit understanding. ”

Li Zhi patted a few pieces on the table and said to Zhang Desheng.

"Yes, yes, the villain knows that he is wrong." Zhang Desheng nodded vigorously, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, since the queen has already known her mistake, don't be even more angry." ”

He is still towards Empress Wu in this matter. Why? Quite simply, because she is the queen.

In fact, he also helped Wang Xuan talk at the beginning, but Wang Xuan was really not very likable before, she couldn't see how good you were to her, she only knew that you were an incomplete man, and later Zhang Desheng felt that this woman couldn't help.

Today's Wu Meiniang is still very good to him, even if every time the emperor leaves the palace, he is with him, but Wu Meiniang never said that she hated him, but just told him to serve the emperor well, because Wu Meiniang knew that he was just a eunuch, he could not influence the emperor, it was his duty to serve the emperor, he did this, there was nothing wrong with it, if Wang Xuan was the original, he would definitely regard him as an enemy.

"Now that I know it's wrong, why should I go earlier?"

Li Zhi snorted, but his face was still a little softened, after all, Wu Meiniang did this, which helped him reduce a lot of pressure, and his mind was now on Wang Xuan, not Wu Meiniang, his eyes glanced at it, and suddenly said: "Isn't this Wei Siqian's recital, when did you send it?" ”

Zhang Desheng said: "It seems to have been sent yesterday." ”

Wei Siqian is an important minister, and he is in Beijing, this Li Zhi has to see, he will not give up the whole country for any woman, he still has this bit of professionalism, so he picked up Wei Siqian's recital, opened it and looked at it, and after looking at it for a while, his face gradually became gloomy, and he only saw half of it, so he picked up this recital, fell to the ground, and said angrily: "Sooner or later, I will kill this madman who has no monarch." ”

Wei Siqian, as a doctor of imperial history, can't he manage this matter, Wei Siqian After learning that Li Zhi had a tryst with a courtesan, where can he still bear it, he doesn't care if Wang Xuan is not, if it is a famous lady, if you take a fancy to it, people will also agree, you will be included in the harem, it doesn't matter, because this is in line with the court system, but you have a tryst with a courtesan, are you still an emperor?

Wei Siqian's recital can be said to train Li Zhi from beginning to end, he didn't even write the name of "Hongchen", just replaced it with a folk courtesan, all kinds of quotations, you see, all dynasties, but all the faint kings do this, you just have a little merit, you just came nonsense, and said that you are not in good health, it turned out that you went to Luoyang to have a tryst with the courtesan, are you worthy of the subjects of the world? If that's the case, you better come back and review the folds, why are you merry there, we get up early in Chang'an and are greedy for darkness.

In short, it was very ugly, and Li Zhi didn't dare to read it.

But after scolding, Li Zhi reclined on the couch again, clenched his fists on the pillow, and looked sad.

This scolding is scolding, but he knows in his heart that Wei Siqian is loyal to him, and he also knows Wei Siqian's personality, selfless, upright, anyway, it is not the first time he has been taught by Wei Siqian, but it can be seen that even if Wu Meiniang does not make trouble, then this matter is not so easy to solve, Lu Chengqing, Xu Yushi, Liu Xiangdao and others will also oppose it.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but sit up suddenly, "How did I forget him." He asked Zhang Desheng again: "Han Yi has been back for so long, he should also finish his filial piety." ”

Zhang Desheng thought for a while and said, "If you count the days, it seems to be about the same." ”

"Then you ---!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Zhi suddenly stopped again, thinking to himself, although Han Yi is loyal to me, he has a great relationship with the queen, and the queen is also kind to him and asks him to help, with his character, I am afraid that he will also choose to stay out of the matter, and even help the queen to persuade me.

Of course, he understood why those courtiers opposed his tryst with Hongchen, Han Yi was also a hero of the abolition of Wang Liwu, although Han Yi was loyal to him, he might not be able to help him in this matter.

Thinking of this, he shook his head in anguish.

But no matter what, Li Zhi's pressure in Luoyang has been reduced a lot, and since that day, Li Zhi has never dared to go to Wang Xuan, afraid that Wang Xuan will cry and leave, this heart has been missing tightly, plus now he is bored, and he also needs to have a confidante on the side to listen to him, so he ran to find Wang Xuan that night, and he was also worried that Wang Xuan was cranky, he wanted to tell Wang Xuan that now those people have woken up and know that you are not Queen Wang, you just relax.

"Slaves and maids greet Your Majesty."

Wang Xuan still knelt at the door to welcome Li Zhi's arrival, but her tone was very cold.

Li Zhi was also helpless and said, "Excuse me...!" ”

Before the word "li" came out, he looked at a piano table in the room with a shocked face, but saw a piano on the table, which was Wang Xuan's favorite, but this piano had been divided into two sections.

"Who did this?"

Li Zhi pointed to the piano and said in shock.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the slave and maid who did it themselves."

"Why? Isn't that your favorite piano? Li Zhi was puzzled.

You must know that the piano is like life for a person who loves music.

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave no longer deserves it!"

"Nonsense! If you are not worthy, who will? ”

"The reason why slaves and maids like music and dance is because slaves and maids believe that music and dance can bring happiness to everyone, and slaves and maids now adhere to this belief. However, the slave maid can no longer bring laughter and happiness to everyone through music, and now everyone sees the slave and the maid, and discusses the relationship between the slave and the maid, and even with the former queen, and the current queen. Therefore, the slave and maid chose to break the piano and cut off the strings. ”

"Why are you in trouble?"

Li Zhi said: "I came today to tell you about this, but you ----! It's all to blame, it's all to blame, if I had come earlier, you wouldn't have been cranky. You get up first, you get up first. ”

Wang Xuan stood up, her face was a little haggard, and her skin was already white and snowy, she looked even more pitiful and pitiful.

Li Zhi had a headache in his heart, and said: "Don't worry, I have already explained your affairs to those ministers, and they all believe that you are not Wang Xuan, and they will not hurt you again, as for those rumors outside, this clear person is self-clearing, and you don't have to deal with them, and these rumors will be self-defeating." ”

"Your Majesty, these are not rumors, but they really exist, even Your Majesty thinks that the slave and maid look very much like the previous queen and queen."

"But you're not alone!"

"But Your Majesty is the king of a country!"
