In just a few days, the atmosphere in the eastern capital has completely changed. Countless undercurrents are surging, the emperor and the martial are waiting to be crowned kings, the holy warriors are waiting to enter Beijing, the conflict on Chang'an Street, and the toasts in the Taimiao. These big shots, who have not appeared for hundreds of years, have spread the news.

With the appearance of these big figures, invisible ripples slowly fluctuated from the lake that had been silent for a hundred years in the eastern capital.

Just a few days ago, far away in the south of the Tang Dynasty, there was news from the Jiannan Protectorate, which guarded Nanchu and Nanzhao.

Zhang Qiu and Qiong were transferred to the military department!

As soon as this news was verified, it sounded like a thunderclap among the princes and nobles in the Eastern Capital!

Zhang Qiu and Qiong are the protectors of Jiannan, the only few generals in the Tang Dynasty who hold real power, and Gao Xianzhi and Wang Zhonghei are at the same level.

This kind of character is suddenly transferred to the Eastern Capital, and the imperial court will definitely not arrange a dispensable position!

"It's a tiger coming in!"

A thought flashed through the minds of the major princes and marquis of the Eastern Capital.

In today's Tang Dynasty, all important positions have been fixed. This pattern is the result of repeated games between various forces over a period of 100 years. If there is a tiger in the eastern capital, then it will inevitably break the existing pattern. Shocks to all sides.

What's more, Zhang Qiu and Qiong don't have any power in the Eastern Capital, if he is transferred to the Eastern Capital, then he will either join one of the current forces in the Eastern Capital, or stand on his own. This will have a great impact on the current situation in the Eastern Capital!

What's even more strange is that this order was directly issued by the Emperor of the People to Zhongshu Province, bypassing the prince of the prison state. The document was not stamped with the treasure seal that had been passed down from generation to generation, but with the emperor's own jade seal.

After the news came out from Jiannan, the wind direction of the court situation in the major princes' mansions changed one after another. Emperor Wu Hou was appointed as the king, and Zhang Qiu and Qiong were transferred to the Eastern Capital, both of which were written by the emperor. This means that His Majesty the Emperor will return to the court, and the crown prince will step down from his position as a prisoner in the near future.

The crown prince has been in charge of the country for several years, and during this period, all the large and small decrees above the court are from the hands of the prince, and the emperor almost does not interfere in the court situation, but the prince has cultivated his own power in the court in the past two years. Now that the emperor has suddenly come back and transferred the holy warriors to the Eastern Capital, it is inevitable that the important ministers of the court will guess the reason for the interior.

His Majesty has only appointed the crown prince, and has not yet made it clear that the crown prince is the prince. This means that there is still a glimmer of hope for the major princes, among which the five princes, the third princes, and the seventh princes are the most powerful. There were also many important ministers in the court who supported these people.

The dispute between the princes of the past dynasties is always the most dangerous thing in the court.

Not to mention, in this dynasty alone, when Emperor Taizong, a generation of holy emperors, ascended the throne, how many princes and nobles in front of the Xuanwu Gate fell under the butcher's knife of Tiance. In Taizong's later years, the dispute between the crown prince Li Chengqian and Emperor Gaozong was greatly affected even by the important ministers of Lingyan Pavilion. Even Zhao Guogong, the head of the civil ministers at that time, was exiled to Qianzhou. The grand Guogong Mansion is also closing at night.

This is the battle between the princes.

Any struggle for imperial power is extremely cruel and cold-blooded.

Once the new emperor ascends the throne, almost all those who previously supported the rival prince will inevitably be wiped out.

……

A few days later, Jiannan Dadu Protector Qiu and Qiong finally entered Beijing. And that night, many big people in the Eastern Capital tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night. It has been half a month since the decree issued by Zhongshu Province, but there has been no news about the specific appointment of Zhang Qiu and Qiong. For this matter, the various forces in the court have argued many times, but the emperor just does not clearly reveal how to arrange the position of Zhang Qiu and Qiong in the Eastern Capital.

At the end of the day, a gorgeous sedan chair fell in front of the Chengtian Gate, and the early dynasty of the Tang Dynasty was generally in the middle of the day. Most of the officials came to the palace gate at the time of Yin. Those who can stand here are all people who are important in the Tang Dynasty. Before the emperor Wuhou entered the main military department, if there was no imperial order, he could not participate in the early dynasty.

As soon as the time arrived, the dragon guards in the palace opened the Chengtian Gate and went all the way from the Shinto to the Taiji Palace. , Rows of elites of the dragon martial guards, solemnly standing on both sides of the Shinto, each of them exuded an aura that was not weaker than the morning dew realm!

"The etiquette collapsed, His Majesty actually used the word "emperor" to seal him, if it was a martial marquis, and now he was even named a prince! It's already disrespectful to bestow a title! This imperial history must play on this matter! ”

"Brother Wenyuan's words are reasonable, the word "emperor" is exclusive to the emperor, how can it be that a prince can have! This is transgression of the law! ”

Having said that, the title of "Emperor" was personally discussed between Lord Toast and the Emperor of the People. I don't know what to expect, and since Lord Toast has not raised any objection to this matter, we should not wait for more than words on this matter. ”

"Zhou Chong, don't you mention it, shouldn't we, as courtiers, remind Your Majesty! As an imperial history, we should focus on the community, and the title of the emperor is beyond the etiquette, so we should strongly admonish this matter. How can it be assumed that you have not seen it! ”

……

Looking at the figure of the Emperor Wu in front of them, the eyes of a group of Confucian ministers and imperial historians had different expressions, and most of them were full of hostility.

Over the years, Emperor Wu led the Tiance Army to use troops on all sides, resulting in an empty treasury. In the first battle of northern Xinjiang, King Wu of Emperor Wu even crossed the court and forcibly collected taxes from the three southern counties. In this regard, many imperial historians are very dissatisfied with this matter. The Tiance Mansion has always had the right to dispatch troops and horses, and there is no need to abide by the constraints of the military department, which is the privilege given to the Tiance Mansion when Emperor Taizong founded the Tiance Mansion.

As for this privilege, there has been a lot of controversy since the time of Taizong, and to this day, there are still voices of opposition.

"Hmph~! A group of rotten Confucians, the family and the country take the lead, the society is the most important, and the soldiers are fighting for the people of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Not far away, a cold cheer came into the ears of this group of imperial historians.

A big red robe was draped over the man. Wearing a purple and gold crown, the golden dragon token on his waist revealed the person's identity.

"Holy Martial Warrior, your words are too presumptuous!"

A great Confucian was furious, and his loud voice continued to echo in Shinto.

"Who shall I be? It turned out to be Yang Zhongcheng. I didn't expect your old man to be alive. When you are old, don't compare with us juniors, since your eyes are not good, you should return to your hometown as soon as possible and spend your old age in peace. The dispatch of soldiers and horses in Tiance Mansion is a privilege given by His Majesty Taizong, you don't even remember this, is it necessary to work so tirelessly every day and get up to the court so early? ”

Shengwu Hou sneered, and looked at Yang Wenyuan coldly, so as not to hide the disgust in his eyes.
