Chapter 12: Gone Without a Trace (3)

Li Shoucheng came to the East Palace honestly, and asked in the first sentence: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asked you, do you want to deliberately target her and embarrass her?" ”

"Nope." Li Wei also answered honestly.

To sit in this position and say that rights are not taken into account, that is false. But Li Wei, as a traverser, is still a lecturer and has not been blinded by the right. At least there is a moral conscience, and the mother will be considered, but it cannot be said that it is aimed at. After all, without this strong mother, it would be impossible for him to be a prince and an emperor. Li Wei was afraid that his mother was blinded by the right, and then his six relatives did not recognize him......

"The slave thinks Your Majesty probably won't."

Since his mother asked this question, Li Wei said sincerely: "Erchen is very afraid of the queen mother. ”

"That's not going to happen, when Your Majesty was in prison in Qinghai, the Queen Mother washed her face with tears every day in the harem, and Your Majesty was too worried."

It doesn't wash your face with tears, but it does cry. Li Wei didn't take the old eunuch's words seriously, he was more loyal to his mother than his own father, and said: "Erchen knows that the queen mother loves us very much, especially me, when I was a child, most of the things I can't remember, but I heard some old people in the palace say that the queen mother is pregnant with me in the Ganye Temple, and my health is not very good after I was born, and the queen mother is concerned every day, and I have invited many ** teachers to come to the palace to pray for blessings." ”

"Yes, at that time, the slave maid began to serve the Queen Mother, and whenever Her Majesty was sick, the Queen Mother was crying. And at that time, the python clan and the owl clan were not good for the queen mother. The Queen Mother became the queen, and there are still many ministers who want to abolish the Queen Mother. In these years, it has not been easy for the Queen Mother...... Oh, by the way, the Queen Mother still has a word, I want the slave to tell Your Majesty, this palace gave birth to you and raised you, why don't you let this palace in half a step? ”

"Your Majesty, forgive the slave and maid for daring to say, has the Queen Mother done a lot for the country over the years?"

"Yes."

"Your Majesty was still young at the time, and the Emperor Taishang's health was not very good, and you were not only young at that time, but also not very well. If there was no Queen Mother to support this huge empire and share the worries of the Emperor Taishang, what would this country become? ”

"Yes."

"Those who do great things are not informal, just as His Majesty's benevolence is famous all over the world, but why did he also use some thunderbolt methods in Qinghai? The Queen Mother did something, but didn't do it, what would it look like? Today, from officials to ordinary people, how many people understand the Queen Mother? ”

Wei had to answer.

Wu Zetian didn't care about the later Wu Zetian in history, but over the years, the merits were still greater than the faults. Either kill Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, as well as Shangguan Yi and Li Zhong. But if these people don't kill, how can Wu Zetian gain a foothold? It is not easy for the country to make a smooth transition, but as one of the two saints, in fact, the decision-makers of most of the country's government affairs. It may not be how good the country is, how difficult it is to defend it, and how many disasters and difficulties the country has, Wu Zetian cannot say that he has no merit.

"Your Majesty, you are wise and wise, especially new things, which no one in the world can match. Others can't come up with a brilliant plan in their lifetime, but Your Majesty can come up with a number of great strategies every year. Why not give it a go? ”

Can this be done?

But when it comes to this, it's not good to refuse, Li Wei sank for a moment and replied: "Li Nei, you can tell the queen mother for me, there is nothing to let go, the queen mother wants to govern the country well, and I also want to govern the country well." It's a biological mother and son, why don't they work together? ”

"Your Majesty, is this a promise?"

"What do you think?"

"Then the slave and maid take their leave."

"Please go slowly," Li Wei didn't have much disgust with this old eunuch, he was just loyal to his mother, but he was not evil to himself, which was different from Pei Yan. All the way to the entrance of the palace.

Li Shoucheng returned to Shangyang Palace and reported Li Wei's words as they were, and Wu Zetian asked, "Do you think Hong'er is a promise?" ”

"It's about a promise." Lee Shoucheng said uncertainly. The mother and son are playing with their minds, otherwise, they would not have passed back and forth through their own middleman. But the intentions of the two, he didn't have the ability to guess.

Wu Zetian did not speak again.

Let about the son will let it, but the limit of the concession is the original meaning of the son.

In fact, things are not as difficult to deal with as imagined, after his son ascended the throne, he said a lot of suggestions, most of which were still good, but because of Pei Yan's constraints and some considerations, he just said it and didn't dare to do it immediately. I'm in Shangyang Palace, I really don't know?

However, his son came to power and ascended the throne strongly, and he was always worried. used Li Yiyan and Pei Xingjian, who were very disgusting to him, as confidants, and became more and more worried. As I copied my son's idea itself, it is not difficult to deal with it. The key is to implement the name system, and there are definitely benefits to implementing it, but there are also many disadvantages to implementing it yourself. Don't talk about yourself, even if your son immediately implements the name system, it will cause controversy.

Therefore, it is possible to ignore the past. As long as the military supervision and military affairs are determined first, it is already a great achievement.

Guan Jian is still her son's attitude, which fills her with a sense of crisis, and many uncertainties Before she has concluded her son's thoughts, all the major military affairs, she is unwilling to come out completely. It's better to hold it in your own hands.

This is Wu Zetian's own idea, but Li Yiyan thinks that Wu Zetian is in love with power, and if it develops, it will inevitably be unfavorable to the emperor. This is the contradiction.

After thinking about it, he said, "You go and call a few Zaifu to the palace to discuss matters." ”

"Whoa."

After a while, Liu Renliang, Pei Yan, Xue Yuanchao, Cui Zhiwen, Wei Xuan and other prime ministers were brought to Shangyang Palace.

After letting a few people sit down, Wu Zetian said: "Zhuqing, how are the preparations for the military affairs supervision and martial arts that the palace said?" ”

Pei Yan held his teeth and replied: "After the Enlightenment, in the opinion of Weichen, military supervision is good governance, but there is a difference between the main and the end, and the country is strong, mainly in internal affairs. Internal security and national security are safe, and national security is the people's security, which is the main festival of the country. The expansion of the territory is the last section, and the emperor ascended the throne, but he rarely talked about military politics, which is also the reason. ”

Liu Renliang snorted.

Pei Yan's words also have another meaning, if you make military achievements, you may not be a good minister, and governing the country is the foundation of a minister. By the way, he erased some of Liu Renliang's military exploits.

Pei Yan will not consider Liu Renliang's feelings, anyway, the water and fire are not melting. continued: "Therefore, the minister thought that the scale of the military superintendent should not be too large, and he levied nearly 100 generals every year for training in case of contingency. It is also different from the two prisoners, and the country is important. It can't be one of the five prisons, and it's best to assign it to the military department. ”

"Reasonable, Pei Qing, continue."

"Then there are the students, one is the young soldiers who have made meritorious contributions in battle, and the other is the meritorious disciples, which is also to reward moral merits and appease the hearts of all scholars and doctors. Then it was ......" Pei Yan endured it, if it was carried out according to his method, there would be few people who opposed it, and he could even win the support of famous families and meritorious ministers for the Queen Mother. But the proposed system of obfuscation of names, the consequences of which he did not dare to predict. Although it will be of greater help to the country. He changed his words: "Martial arts, the scale of martial arts cannot be huge, and in the year of the big move, it is a safe policy to select less than 20 outstanding heroes from all over the world to enter the military supervision training for a period of time, and then put them into the army to hone their training." The minister also wanted to say that the state cannot afford not to prepare for military affairs, but the minister must not mistakenly think that military is several times more important than literature, and ignore the fact that civil rule is the foundation of the country. ”

"What Pei Qing said is extremely true."

"Your Majesty asked the ministers to draft a plan for Hu. This is also what the country must do, without a clear strategy, the policy cannot be continuous and unified. ”

Putting aside the dispute over power, as the minister himself, Pei Yan's ability is still good. Even Liu Renliang nodded secretly when he heard this. Pei Yan said again: "Therefore, in the opinion of the minister, the following can be appeased. In order to appease the surrounding countries, many of the students in the prison were sent by Silla, Wakoku, and Bos. Why don't you recruit some disciples from various departments to study in the court? Not only can they be enrolled, but they can also be used as protons, and they can also participate in the imperial examination. ”

"That makes sense, go on."

"Also, as His Majesty did in Qinghai, send some Confucian scholars to these feudal departments to teach their studies and let them know the etiquette and morality. This is one of them. The second is to seek officials, Zaifu cannot be awarded, for fear of using power to seek I, which is biased, but the official positions below Liubu Lang and Jiusi Shaoqing can be awarded one or two to further consolidate the pacification role of the imperial court. His Majesty once said that Tibet even used people from other ministries as a major argument. But that is Tibet, not our dynasty, and this distinction must be distinguished. ”

"It makes sense, go on."

"Either it's to teach you how to make a living. Barbarians mostly live in the mountainous areas of the south and west, and live in poverty, which is also the main reason for rebellion and subjugation. Life is rich, and the people will not have to worry about food and clothing. The same is true of the nomads of the north. However, it cannot be forcibly promoted, after all, the customs and eating habits are different, and if it is forcibly promoted, it will disturb more. ”

"Pei Xianggong, if that's the case, the big thing will go." Liu Renliang finally couldn't help but say.

"Why?" Wu Zetian asked strangely.

"Why were the Turks able to conquer? Why are the northern nomads so fierce, although there are Wuhuhua, and finally let me dominate the world? The minister has also spoken to His Majesty about this before. Without him, these nomads live on horseback all year round, eat meat, drink blood, and have a physique far superior to those of the Central Plains. However, it is dominated by a nomadic lifestyle, chasing water and grass, so the population base is not strong. Sometimes a blizzard can wipe out a tribe. If you vigorously support them to promote a better way of making a living, once the Turks become nearly 10 million people, and the Tibetans become 10 million people, the Queen Mother, please think about the consequences? ”

"But Your Majesty is ...... in Qinghai," Guo Zhengyi said puzzled.

"Qinghai is different, the party members rebelled against Tibet, which was no longer tolerated by Tibet. In this way, His Majesty also moved more poor people in the Central Plains, and the families of soldiers went to Qinghai to dilute the proportion of party members. and then used marriage and other ways to win over. Let's talk about Nanzhao, how did His Majesty do it, just set up some grass markets, so that they can take the initiative to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, and reduce disputes. But it did not unify these tribes and divide them so that their power would not be strong. If you don't become strong, you can only submit to our dynasty forever. Once it is strong, Pei Xianggong, have you ever thought about the consequences, Tubo can betray, why can't the party and Nanzhao betray? Non-Ethnic ......"

Although Wu Zetian is a Han Chinese, Liu Renliang was hindered by Li Tang's bloodline and did not say that his heart was different, but the meaning could be understood by several people.

"Liu Xianggong, I don't understand, Your Majesty has repeatedly said that treat Hu with sincerity, since you prevent it, how can you be sincere?"

Liu Renliang wanted to give Pei Yan a big ear scraper, and the sincerity of Hu was to appease the Hu people, the Fan people, and the Yi people, and appeasement was a soft strategy. Prevention and military repression are hard strategies. Both soft and hard bi is the real king. Could it be that if you treat Hu with sincerity, you won't prevent it?

"Pei Xianggong, you understand the truth, why bother to expose Your Majesty who has said many times that you are a terrible hypocrite, you defend yourself and say that I am a pure child, let Your Majesty say it. But I don't see where your pure heart is? ”

"Whether it is the heart of a child, the history books will be inscribed. But I will never do anything to elect Li Jingxuan to fake Gongji I and announce my revenge. ”

"How much credit a certain life has made for the imperial court, the history books will be inscribed. It's you, I don't know what kind of heart you have. Communiqué i-revenge? Are you qualified to say this?"

"Erqing, don't argue. There is no urgency in this matter, you will discuss it again, and after the discussion is proper, you will tell the world. Bengong said another thing, about the military superintendent and martial arts, what Pei Qing said just now made a lot of sense. However, the main palace heard another thing, and His Majesty said in the East Palace that you can use the vague name system to take the exam. The palace feels very reasonable, not only martial arts, but also the normal imperial examination, but also can use this strategy to recruit more useful people for the imperial court fairly, enter the official career, and govern the world. ”

Pei Yan frowned, thinking, Queen Mother, it's better not to say it. I have made it so clear, do what I just said, not only will there be less controversy, but I can also win over Jingying for you. Why do you have to talk about the obfuscation system? The military affairs supervisor and the martial arts were publicly proposed by you, and Liu Renliang and these people will definitely not stand up for you, doesn't it make me embarrassed?

Liu Renliang closed his eyes.

The name system is good governance, but it is also a hot porridge, which is not very delicious.

Wu Zetian glanced behind the curtain and said, "Regarding Hu's affairs, Pei Qing will do more according to His Majesty's words." However, Liu Qing has been in the army for a long time, and he is more familiar with these barbarians, Yi people, and Hu people, so he also has to participate in the preparation. This is for the sake of the country, and this palace does not want you to delay state affairs for the sake of disputes. But the military affairs supervisor and the martial arts, among the secretaries, only Liu Qing, you are familiar with military affairs. Therefore, the palace jiā will deal with it for you, and there is this pasty name system, choose ** to draft a piece of Chen, and hand it to the emperor and the palace. ”

With a very light sentence, he kicked this hot potato back to Liu Renliang and Li Wei. The biggest benefit was that Wu Zetian and Pei Yan got it.

Pei Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately bowed down and said: "The Queen Mother is wise, Liu Xianggong is the best candidate for this matter." ”f@。
