Chapter Eighty-Nine: Muddy the Waters
Zhao Zhen really couldn't sit still.
What does Zhao Yunrang mean by this?
The information released by the Great Song News Weekly does seem to be some historical stories.
But Zhao Zhen's emperor is not a dry meal, and when such a mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, the tendency of feminist supremacy is exposed, and the government and the opposition are deeply uneasy.
So, naturally, the familiar old eunuch came to deliver the decree, supposedly to see if Zhao Yunrang had recovered.
There must be no healed, how can you say that you are cured at this time?
Seeing Zhao Yunrang lying on the bed and shaking his head, the old eunuch said that he was not only good at martial arts, but also good at medical skills, and he could treat the little prince.
Zhao Yunrang immediately turned over and got out of bed, saying that he had completely recovered and was in good health.
If you really let the old eunuch treat it for a while, it is estimated that if you are not sick, you will get sick.
No way, let's enter the palace, the emperor summoned me, and I have to obey ah.
When he arrived in the palace, Zhao Zhen was not polite: "Brother Wang, what do you mean?" β
Zhao Yunrang spread his hands: "It's not interesting, this is purely self-preservation!" β
"Oh, self-preservation needs to talk about these old sesame rotten grains?"
What is this called?
Is it wrong to popularize historical knowledge among the whole people?
"Of course, if it is said that men and women are not equal, women are not good, Your Majesty, which side do you think can spare me? When the time comes, if someone has a heart to push it again, I will die without a place to be buried! β
Zhao Zhen nodded: "That's the same, but now that you're like this, what do you mean by provoking a conversation?" β
"At the very least, I want to prove that I am not wrong, that I am mentioning equality between men and women with a grateful attitude."
"Nuwa Niangniang's great achievements, no one can refute it - as long as this side can stand firm, it is estimated that the ministers will have nothing to do with me!"
Zhao Zhen nodded, reluctantly admitting Zhao Yun's statement of self-preservation.
"That's from your standpoint, but where is my stand? My throne is not secure! β
Zhao Zhen's eyes are very sharp, this is what he said in his heart, I don't care what you do to protect yourself, don't make a mess of the government and the opposition, your own dragon chair can't sit still!
"Your Majesty, don't worry, that can't - because these examples are examples of myths and legends, but you must know that real examples have not yet been given!"
Zhao Zhen's interest increased: "What is the real example? β
Zhao Yunrang smiled secretly: "Of course it's Wu Zetian!" β
Zhao Zhen frowned: "At this time, is it appropriate?" β
That is a generation of empresses, and Empress Dowager Liu probably wants to become Wu Zetian, so it is too sensitive to bring it up at this time!
Zhao Yunrang patted his chest: "Wu Zetian has been inconclusive in history, although they all admit her merits, but they deny her because of her improper position - Your Majesty rest assured, the minister knows it!" β
Zhao Zhen said worriedly: "Don't be self-defeating, if you really want to establish Wu Zetian's prestige, I only ask!" β
"Rest assured!"
After all, fundamentally speaking, this society is still a society that pays attention to the three outlines and five constants.
On the third day, the price of the supplement continued to double.
The content is also particularly exciting - the big title, Empress Wu Zetian, the merits and demerits are commented on.
As soon as the topic came out, the government and the opposition shook!
There is no other reason, just like Zhao Zhen is worried about, this is too sensitive!
Regardless of others, can the Empress Dowager Liu in Cining Palace not be careful?
In Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Liu was sitting on a dragon chair and talking face-to-face with a man.
"Have you read Newsweek today?"
The man nodded: "Look!" β
"Oh, what do you think?"
"What does the Queen Mother think of her ministers?"
Empress Dowager Liu stretched out her finger and pointed at the man: "You, you, for so many years, nothing has changed!" β
The man bowed his head: "The minister is terrified!" β
"What are you afraid of - we were husband and wife at the beginning - alas, these messy things will not be mentioned, the current situation, tell me what you think!"
"The minister's opinion is that it is a chaotic situation now, and this chaos seems to have been deliberately created by someone!"
"Chaos? You mean, someone wants to fish in troubled waters? β
"That's not necessarily, I guess the emperor is also confused!"
Empress Dowager Liu sneered: "Emperor? He is not confused, last night, Zhao Yun let him enter the palace to see him! β
The man nodded: "If this is the case, at least the emperor knows about this matter, but according to the minister, this kind of thing may be able to start, but the direction is difficult to control!" β
Empress Dowager Liu's eyes lit up: "What do you mean?" β
The man said respectfully: "The number of roads in the past few days, the ministers have also taken a look, whether it is Emperor Wa at the beginning, or the matrilineal and paternal disputes, they are all a kind of foreshadowing, and today's Wu Zetian is a big bait!" β
"Bait?"
"That's right, this little prince obviously wants to catch something with this bait-"
"Catch somethingβtell me!"
"The minister doesn't dare to say anything!"
Empress Dowager Liu snorted angrily: "Do you want me to pardon your innocence?" β
The man bowed his head: "Maybe it's the attitude of the Queen Mother, maybe it's the emperor's interference, maybe it's the clamor of the ministers - in short, stirring this pool of water, he has done it, as for what he wants, I'm not sure!" β
"So what should we do now?"
"It's naturally not good to bite the hook now, so it may be the best choice to respond to all changes with the same!"
"Just waiting?"
"The minister is talkative, does the Queen Mother really want to sit in that position?"
"It's-"
Empress Dowager Liu also hesitated, really hesitated.
She has nothing to hide from the man in front of her, her former husband, who used to be called Gong Mei and is now called Liu Mei.
"Queen Mother, this hesitation is already the best answer, since you can't be sure, you might as well wait and see!"
All the information that can be found, Zhao Yunrang listed it in Popular News Weekly.
Historical background, arguments for both sides, including Wu Zetian's exploits, including her murderous crimes.
even includes the actions of cool officials such as Lai Junchen, and even King Luo Bin's essay on martial arts.
If you don't look at the reason, this is almost a historical excavation about Wu Zetian!
And in the end, Zhao Yunrang also used the form of pictures to greatly display a wordless tablet!
There is not a word on the wordless tablet!
In the end, what was written was a summary of this great discussion.
The government and the opposition shook again!
Because this is obviously a big discussion, a big debate about the ethical system of the times.
Longtuge University Scholar, the right to know Kaifeng Mansion Wang Bowen posted.
Governor Lu Yijian also began to post.
Even Fan Zhongyan, who was degraded outside, also posted!
Zhao Yun made everyone wonder, Fan Zhongyan was hundreds of miles away!
When I looked back, I found that this manuscript was actually taken from King Zhou's mansion!
I'll go, people fly pigeons to pass the book, you flying pigeon contribute!
For the sake of "the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world", I have boarded!
Only the princes of all walks of life, it is as quiet as stagnant water!
Xu Zhicheng's face changed, these civil officials were like spears, and their pens were like cones, which was really unbearable.
Reading between the lines, it has been pointed out that the popular news weekly has no purpose in launching such a discussion.
No one is a fool!
His father summoned him and asked him if he was at risk.
Xu Zhicheng had to bite the bullet and say that it was okay, he could withstand it.
If you can't stand it, you have to top it, Zhao Yunrang said, now it's hard to ride a tiger, and whoever goes down has to die!
The victorious side will definitely not die down, and it will definitely fall into the ground.
Finally, Empress Dowager Liu couldn't help it anymore and sent someone to find Zhao Yun.
The reason this time is very simple, if you can enter the palace to see Zhao Zhen, you will also be able to enter the palace to see me, an old woman.
Zhao Yunrang did not refuse, and the power of this old lady is not small.
The old eunuch could let her know that she was carried all the way into the palace by the old eunuch. Looking at the cold-faced grandmother in front of her, it is estimated that she is the same brother and sister as the old eunuch!
Enter the palace, enter the palace, and it's almost to the point of opening the skylight and saying bright words!
"What do you want?"
This is Zhao Yunrang's first sentence when he saw the Empress Dowager Liu, and the Empress Dowager Liu split her head and covered her face.
Zhao Yunrang is absolutely honest, this queen mother can't be deceived, like Zhao Zhen, she is the supreme owner of power, and it is not easy to be caught in the middle.
So he was very honorable: "The minister is for self-preservation." β
"Self-preservation, what danger do you have?"
Zhao Yunrang smiled bitterly: "To be honest, this debate, that is the minister's mouth is not strict, and the words that are revealed smoothly are now so big!" β
"But then again, at this time, the minister is retreating, I'm afraid there will be no good end, but if I bite the bullet, I'm afraid it will be the same end - the queen mother thinks, if the kid wants to survive unharmed, what should he do?"
