Chapter 165: Bullying
Chongren Fang.
Taishifu.
Taishi, Zhao Guogong Changsun Wuji's mansion occupies half of Chongrenfang, since Zhenguan, Changsun Wuji has been standing in the power center of the Tang Dynasty.
Today.
Li Zhi, the son of heaven, took his favorite concubine Wu Zhaoyi to the eldest grandson Wuji's house as a guest, and the emperor descended to the courtier's house, which was a great honor. What's more, today Li Zhi also specially brought the jewelry of the top ten cars.
The emperor was a guest at the courtier's house and gave ten carts of gifts.
This made the Taishi Mansion, which had become a little deserted due to the drastic changes in the center before, surprising again. Many people feel that the emperor is here, which is the honor of the Taishi.
The emperor came in person, and the eldest grandson Wuji also called back all the children of the eldest grandson clan in Beijing.
A banquet was held in the house.
The atmosphere is very good, and the planning is staggered.
During the banquet, Li Zhi also took the initiative to show goodwill, last time he crowned the three concubines of the eldest grandson Wuji as the doctor of Chaosan, and this time he specially brought a will, to the eldest grandson's family more than a dozen children who have not yet reached adulthood, all of whom were awarded the lord of the fifth grade or above.
Although the title is not valuable, it is also an honor, especially when the children who have not reached adulthood for more than ten years are awarded at once, and the emperor has already given the eldest grandson a lot of face.
The eldest grandson Wuji was wearing a white linen robe today, and he seemed to be smiling happily.
The emperor gave him ten carts of jewelry, and he smiled.
Then the emperor gave more than a dozen underage sons and daughters of the eldest grandson family, and he also asked his children to come forward and thank him and accept it.
The wine was good, the food was quite delicious, Li Zhi was in a good mood, and felt that this trip was not in vain.
The so-called short hands and short mouths, since the eldest grandson is willing to take it, it means that the eldest grandson is aware of current affairs. Of course, Li Zhi didn't give these things away for nothing, and his things were also conditional.
With the help of wine, Li Zhi said with a smile, "Recently, the weather has warmed up, and a hundred flowers are blooming, I remember that at this time of year in the past, the first queen would always have a wind disease." Every time the wind is sick, the first queen always has no sleep and is very uncomfortable. ”
Wind disease is a family genetic disease in the eldest grandson's family.
In the words of later generations, Empress Changsun probably suffered from asthma and other diseases, which were difficult to treat in the Tang Dynasty, although she was a queen.
Empress Changsun died at a young age precisely because of this disease.
Empress Eldest Sun has this disease, and Eldest Sun Wuji also has it, but he was not serious when he was young, but now that he is old, he often gets sick, and it is getting worse and worse.
Li Zhi mentioned this matter at this time, and he also had a vain purpose.
He hoped that the eldest grandson Wuji would be able to retreat bravely, when he was young, the first emperor entrusted Gu to let him be the minister of life. For several years, the eldest grandson Wuji, the uncle of the country, has also worked hard, which has made his condition even more serious.
Now that he, the emperor's nephew, has grown up, and now there are many famous ministers such as Li Ji in the court, so my uncle can rest assured that he can unload this burden.
"I thought that my uncle had become more and more severe in recent years, and his health was worried, so I wanted to invite my uncle to Luoyang."
"To Luoyang?" The eldest grandson, Wuji, raised his eyebrows.
Li Zhi explained that he invited the eldest grandson to Luoyang, firstly, because the eldest grandson's family was originally from Luoyang, and letting the eldest grandson go to Luoyang was also to let him return to his hometown to enjoy his old age. At the same time, Luoyang is an important place in the eastern part of the country, and Li Zhi said that he intends to make Luoyang the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, so now he wants to invite an old man like Changsun to go to Luoyang to guard it.
Responsible for the preparation of the construction of the capital in Luoyang.
"Please go to Luoyang to stay in the eastern capital, and the three products under the door of the same Zhongshu and the two provinces under the Zhizhongshu and the door remain unchanged, if there is a major military event in the court, I will send someone to Luoyang to ask my uncle what he thinks."
In a word, it sounds good on the surface that Luoyang stayed behind and retained the post of prime minister. But in fact, after kicking out of Chang'an, the eldest grandson Wuji also stayed away from the political center. What's the use of leaving the title of prime minister empty?
Li Zhi looked at his eldest grandson.
The eldest grandson was smiling, but he was already scolding his mother in his heart.
The emperor really has stiff wings, and now he thinks that his uncle is in the way, and wants to kick him away. In his heart, there are mixed feelings.
He couldn't imagine that he was dedicated to supporting the Tang Dynasty, protecting Li Shimin, and protecting Li Zhi, but when he was old, Li Zhi wanted to kick him away.
Did you do something wrong?
What is the reason for using the widow to plot against the case and beat down so many relatives? It's not to protect his Li family's country and protect his Li Zhi's throne.
Even if he wants to get rid of Yuwenjie, it is because from the overall situation, although his eldest grandson Wuji is a little overbearing in the court, isn't it all because the emperor is young and inexperienced?
He is both a minister and an uncle, if he doesn't help the emperor, who will help?
It's better now, in a word, you have to drive him away.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is old, and he has been sick again, I am afraid that it will be difficult to go to Luoyang, and I ask Your Majesty to choose other ministers for the important task of guarding Luoyang."
The eldest grandson, Wuji, refused.
The smile on Li Zhi's face slowly disappeared and froze.
He originally thought that the atmosphere was very good today, and he was also very face-saving, and now in the court, he also had an advantage, and Li Ji, Xue Rengui and other forbidden army generals were all on his side, so he gave the eldest grandson a chance to leave with dignity, and the eldest grandson should cherish it.
"I'm afraid that my uncle will stay in Chang'an, and he will aggravate his condition because of state affairs." Li Zhidao.
"I'm crippled and weak, and I don't want to toss anymore, even if I die, I want to die in this Chang'an City." The eldest grandson refused to let go.
Li Zhi was holding his breath in his heart, and he looked at the two generals Su Lie and Xue Rengui who were accompanying him in the lower seat of the hall, and these two would be regarded by Li Zhi as his Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong.
At this time, he even had the urge to give an order, so that these two generals would order to summon the soldiers of the Yulin Army outside to come in and copy the Taishi Mansion.
In the end, he smiled stiffly and endured.
"Since Uncle Guo doesn't want to go to Luoyang, it doesn't matter. Uncle Guo is in Chang'an to take care of his body, and if his health is not good, he should not worry too much about state affairs. In the center, there are also Li Ji and other prime ministers. Uncle Guo will go to the middle book door on a day after three or two days. ”
Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, in fact, is the same as the three products under the Tongzhongshu Menxia, all of which are given to the prime minister, and this title is the real prime minister, but the prime minister must have other positions, such as servant shooting, waiter and other positions.
When Li Jing's merit was high, Taizong awarded Li Jing to shoot as a servant of Shangshu, and after Li Jing was seriously ill, Taizong let Li Jing recuperate at home, and only went to Zhongshu once in three or two days to inspect things, which was sympathetic to the minister.
And now Li Zhi asked the eldest grandson Wuji to go to the Zhongshu Gate on a day or two, but he really wants to seize the real power of the eldest grandson.
If the eldest grandson recuperates at home every day, and only goes to the Zhongshu Gate once every three or two days, then after a long time, how can there be anything else in this center.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, but although the old bones of the old minister are broken, they can still move. How difficult the state affairs are, now there is a drought in Guanlongshan and other places, and the affairs are more complicated. ”
The eldest grandson didn't care about it today, and he did not mistake the emperor's words.
Let him go to Luoyang, he won't go.
Let him rest at home, and he will not listen.
Anyway, he just wouldn't leave the center.
If there is nothing wrong with him and his health is fine, as long as he refuses to leave, the emperor will have nothing to do with him for a while.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Li Zhi looked at the Wu family at this time, and then said, "The queen has no children, and I want to abolish the queen." ”
Queen Wang has followed Li Zhi for many years, from the crown princess to the current queen, but she has never given birth to a son and a half daughter.
And Li Zhi didn't have any feelings for the empress that Emperor Taizong chose for him back then.
Today, the eldest grandson Wuji did not give face several times, and Li Zhi raised this matter to make the eldest grandson back down.
"May I ask Your Majesty, what is wrong with the queen that she wants to depose the queen?"
The eldest grandson Wuji knew in his heart that the emperor wanted to establish the Wu clan as the queen, and he was resolutely opposed to this matter. The Wu family was a talented person in Taizong back then, and now the emperor has appointed her as Zhaoyi, which is already excessive, and she has also been established as the queen, how can this kind of thing work?
Don't you make the world laugh?
As long as he is prime minister for one day, he will never agree.
"The queen has no children." Li Zhi said with a gloomy face.
Prince, indeed, is a fault.
"The queen is still young, even if she will not come out in the future, this is not a big deal, how can she be abolished because of this, it is too child's play." The eldest grandson, Wuji, refused to back down.
He refused to agree to abolish the queen Wang, in fact, not only because of the queen Wang, not only because of his opposition to the Wu family, but also because of the dispute over the heir of the Tang Dynasty.
As early as the beginning of Li Zhi's succession, the imperial court was faced with a problem, that is, who to appoint as the prince.
Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, and the crown princess Wang was canonized as the queen, but the Wang family had no children. And Li Zhi's eldest son was born to a humble palace maid.
At that time, someone in the imperial court proposed to establish the eldest son as the crown prince, after all, the queen has not been born for so many years, and she may not be reborn. The queen has no children, that is, there is no heir.
If there is no heir, the eldest son should be established.
But there is also a faction that believes that the son of Concubine Xiao Shufei should be appointed as the crown prince.
Concubine Xiao Shufei was born in the Xiao family in Jiangnan, and Xiao Yu, the prime minister of the Zhenguan Dynasty, is from this family, which can be said to be a wealthy family. Xiao is a concubine, and this is one of the four concubines.
Although she is not a queen, she is one of the four concubines with a high status, and her son is naturally more noble than the concubine of a palace girl.
Originally, for the eldest grandson, it didn't matter much whose son he made the prince.
But later, because of the queen's elder brother Liu Shi, he ran to the eldest grandson many times, and finally the eldest grandson Wuji agreed to support the queen. Queen Wang has no children, so she is naturally reluctant to make Xiao's son the prince, and if the eldest son is the prince, it is actually more beneficial to the queen.
The crown prince born to the palace maid, the queen can be raised as her own son, and it will be beneficial to her and the royal family in the future.
And the eldest grandson is willing to support Queen Wang and the eldest son, also because there is still the Jiangnan Shi clan behind the Xiao family, which is another force. If the son of the Xiao family is the crown prince, after succeeding to the throne in the future, it will definitely be someone from that faction who will be in power, and it will definitely not be cost-effective for them like the Guanlong faction.
Because of all this, in the end, the eldest grandson Wuji and other Guanlong factions fully supported Queen Wang and the eldest son, which led to the fact that the eldest son of the concubine was later made the crown prince.
If the emperor abolishes the queen now, then the crown prince will definitely not be able to keep it, and it is very likely that the Wu family will be the queen, and the eldest son Li Hong born to the Wu family may be the new prince.
The relationship between the Guanlong Group and the Wu clan is not very good, and now in the court, the people who support the emperor and the Wu clan are the powerful upstarts in the Kanto region headed by Li Ji.
It is impossible for the eldest grandson Wuji to agree to abolish the queen, and the abolition of the queen is equivalent to the abolition of the prince, which is equivalent to the Wu family's important register, and the Wu family will be established as the prince, and finally the court will be in power in Shandong led by Li Ji.
The Guanlong Group will naturally lose power at that time, which is a result that he and the entire Guanlong Group are unwilling to see.
"I want to canonize Wu Zhaoyi as Concubine Chen, and I hope Uncle Guo will support me."
"Concubine Chen? There are only four concubines in the Tang Dynasty harem, which are the four concubines of Guishu and Dexian, and they have not heard of the title of Concubine Chen, and now in His Majesty's harem, the first and four concubines are full. The eldest grandson Wuji said coldly.
Li Zhi's face became darker and darker.
He originally wanted to abolish the queen and then establish the Wu clan as the queen, but he tried it just now, but the eldest grandson Wuji refused at all. Then he thought about making a detour first, and he would canonize the Wu family as a concubine first.
It was precisely because the four concubines of Guishu Dexian were all full and there was no place for him that he thought about setting up a new concubine for the Wu family, but he didn't expect that the eldest grandson Wuji didn't even agree to this.
I don't promise this, I don't promise that, the eldest grandson also bullies the king too much!
