Chapter 145: Determination (7)
Although Luo Wuquan was awarded the Zhonglang General for his merits, he was a Khitan after all, barely able to read some words, and he was lucky to go to Qinghai to appreciate Li Jinxing and stand out, but he has been staying in the western regions of Qinghai and Lingxi to fight, and he still retains the vulgar style of the Hu people in his bones.
The idea is simple.
This old woman was so hateful that she actually forced the emperor to flee to the battlefield in the Western Regions to find a way to live. Since ancient times, has there ever been an emperor who has personally gone to the battlefield to seek safety? It was not enough, and forced the emperor to cheat to death for nearly a year and a half. It's a myth for the ages.
Don't believe in evil, look at her methods and what she has done, if the emperor doesn't avoid this year and a half, Da Yuyi can't be caught, and if he doesn't deal with it well, he will enter the palace in a daze. At most, five years will be gone.
In particular, Wu Zetian used Xu Jingye to plot a rebellion, asked Zhou Xingqing to investigate Luoyang, and killed many people. Among them, there were many soldiers who returned from the Qinghai Campaign, some of them were Luo Wuquan's comrades-in-arms, and some were still his subordinates. But how can there be no love for the robe?
He was not afraid that Wu Zetian would kill him.
Just kill, the edict is out, and you still kill? The queen mother can kill herself, can the emperor kill the people of the martial family, what seven temples and five temples, you are not easy to kill, there are so many deep palaces in Chang'an, Luoyang, can you go to a remote cold palace and retire with peace of mind?
The general idea is good, slightly extreme. It can't be called an old woman, after more than ten years of historical records, because Wu Zetian would be Tu Ze, like a teenager, his teeth fell out, and he was nearly seventy years old, and he could be reborn. This is a woman who is born with natural gifts. At this time, Wu Zetian put aside his actual age, just looking at his appearance, he was not yet forty years old, and he was still beautiful and moving.
"You ......" Wu Zetian was furious, seeing his contemptuous appearance, and thinking of his son's gloomy, nasty, shameless, vicious, dark, unfilial, treacherous, and cunning schemes, he finally understood what his son was going to do.
On the contrary, he didn't dare to move, if he used a crime of disrespect, it would be easy to kill this Khitan, but there was no room for things to turn. He found a step down and said, "Do you know how many lives Di Renjie has managed?" One by one, like him, the national family has been returned? ”
"The minister has heard of it, too. At that time, the rumors were very unfavorable to His Majesty. The emperor issued an edict and asked Di Xiang to investigate the case. It's some people who have died, and they're just some rogue rangers, these people usually like to violate discipline and commit crimes, and they are implicated in big cases. Later, under the integration of Di Xianggong, many people changed their ways and returned to righteousness. Di Xianggong's move, the minister did not see anything wrong. If you want to be killed because of this, the minister dares to ask, how many innocent soldiers, officials and hundreds of surnames have died in the past year or so? So should all the people involved be cut down one by one? ”
The voice of the extraneous voice, that is, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, including the Queen Mother, can't escape the involvement, and all of them have to be beheaded!
But it doesn't matter, after being a little angry, Wu Zetian can endure it, since she entered the palace, how much anger has she suffered in the past few decades? Guan Jian is Wu Zetian heard it, his son planned to enter with his white knife this time, and the red knife came out, otherwise this general would not be so bold.
I don't want to explain the matter of Chongyan Spring Medicine.
Then this guy has to say, how does Di Renjie know what Ming Chongyan is doing with spring medicine? His Majesty has said many times that he is not a good person, why do you want to lead him to the palace?
Suppressing his anger, he asked, "Where has my son been for more than a year?" Why did the mourning family send someone to order him to enter the capital, but no one could be found? And where did he issue the edict? ”
The first two questions are all nonsense, and the key is the latter one. can be sandwiched together to ask, and it will not let Luo Wucheng pay attention.
Luo Wu thought about the answer all morning, didn't fall for it, and said: "The minister has been fighting against the big cannibals in Lingxi, and I don't know that he just returned to Qinghai recently. His Majesty issued an edict in Shanzhou, when he was planning with General Heizhi to quell the Gulu Rebellion, and was preparing to return to the Western Turks to unite the various tribes and attack together. ”
"When did you leave Qinghai?"
"A month ago."
Wu Zetian closed his eyes and thought for a while. Extinguishing the bones, she believes, the bones have been in turmoil for a long time. When it comes to the national family, the son will not be ambiguous. Moreover, the generals of Qinghai also have this ability. Fighting in Lingxi and the Western Regions, no matter how great the merit is, it has nothing to do with the Central Plains. And only by quelling the rebellion of Gu Dulu can he contrast with the generals of the court, and only then can he win the hearts of the people and return to the city.
A month ago, Luo Wucheng received the edict and returned to the Western Regions, even if the Western Regions prepared a large army in advance, and then inserted it from the Western Regions to the desert, it seemed that it was still a fighter plane, and it happened that the Gu Lu army arrived in Shuozhou, and the nest was empty. Then I still have a few months to prepare, and I have time.
I was afraid that Luo Wuquan was telling a lie, and her intuition told her that the probability of a lie reached 90%. Then there is very little time left for yourself to fight back.
I really want Zhou Xing to torture Luo Wucheng with a cool punishment.
Thinking of his son's good intentions again, his body couldn't help but tremble with anger, anyway, I am still your mother, without my hard work, then you are the emperor today?
After getting the news that his son was alive, and even preparing the back hand to rescue Di Renjie, Wu Zetian knew what Li Wei was planning. It turned out that since he went to the Western Regions, even before this, he suddenly disappeared from the court, and he was already calculating himself.
Give yourself artificial opportunities to create time, create time, and inflate your ambition to control political power, so as to do some irrational things, suppress the righteousness of your mother, and deal with yourself in a bright and righteous way. Dare to think of himself as someone, Wu Zetian immediately appeared in the first part of "Spring and Autumn".
is so ruthless and scheming, and even endured it for four or five years, five or six years. And it's the best time of a man's life, just for the days to come!
Behind the curtain, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.
Weakness said, "You retreat." ”
"Whoa." Luo Wuquan was in good spirits and replied loudly, one word made him answer sonorously and powerfully. After answering, strode away.
Li Shoucheng asked puzzledly: "Luo Wucheng is so rude, Queen Mother, why don't you punish him?" ”
"You tell the mourners to be quiet for a while."
"Whoa."
Wu Zetian closed her eyes and pondered, and she thought of another terrible thing. Originally, the eldest son did not return, and the people of all ethnic groups in Qinghai to the Western Regions and Lingxi were unstable, but it became a constraint and unstable factor for Qinghai soldiers. But as soon as the eldest son returned, not only did the generals from Qinghai to the Western Regions immediately surrender, but he also used a lot of money last year to win over the hearts of Qunhu. You can think about it, just the army of the Tang Dynasty may reach more than 100,000, plus so many Hu people of all ethnic groups, it may be 100,000, 200,000, and 300,000 is also not possible. If the son doesn't return, he will definitely get it, so many military teams will come under black pressure. Even if the entire Tang Dynasty Central Plains military team listened to its own mobilization, it might not be able to win.
I was in too much of a hurry, too much of a hurry!
You should wait for another year, and after Gonggong Liu confirms the news, he will set up the third or fourth son to ascend the throne as the emperor. In fact, there is no need to help, as long as it is delayed until a year later, there is no movement on his own, and the eldest son will be forced to appear by himself. At that time, he didn't do anything, what can the eldest son do with himself?
She didn't expect that there was a person who was no less intelligent than her in the dark, and she was involved.
Li Wei also asked about this hypothesis, if the mother didn't do anything, she could even do some fine-tuning, and it happened that there was a lot of money in the treasury, which was used to buy people's hearts. When he made a move, he became a stone to shoot himself in the foot.
Wu Lu asked rhetorically: "With your mother's attachment to Quan Yuli, can you really endure it for so long?" Even if your mother can bear it, will Pei Yan accept it? Will your mother watch Pei Yan become the minister of power? ”
Li Wei has no words.
Wulu said: "Everyone has shortcomings, although your mother's wisdom is almost unmatched, but the obsession with power and profit has become her biggest shortcoming, is your father is confused, if it is replaced by your grandfather, with your mother's power and profit, you would have killed your grandfather a thousand times and ten thousand times." ”
Li Wei asked again: "What about my shortcomings?" ”
Wu Lu playfully replied, "I won't tell you." ”
And since ancient times, no emperor has actually cheated to death, not in January and two months, but in a year and a half! Liu Renliang is so good that he can't die, he has lived for so long, and he didn't dare to make too big a move when he asked Wu Zetian. Otherwise, as soon as a new emperor is established, Li Wei will more or less become a passive situation.
Feeling that his head hurts, he said to Li Shoucheng: "Go, call all the prime ministers and Wu Sansi." ”
After a while, Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi, Qian Wei, Wang Dezhen, Wei Fangzhen, Su Liangsi, Wei Zhiyuan, and Pei Judao were brought in. This is the current group of ministers, the prime ministers of Li Zhishi, none of them existed, and all of them were demoted from the court.
It's not useless, such as Su Liangsi, the knowledge is not very deep, when he was in Jingzhou, King Liang Xuan's brother Hedong Wang Xiaoyu funded the construction of a temple, so it was called Hedong Temple. Su Liangsi came to a man who didn't learn and didn't know how to ask, "How can it be called Hedong between Jiang and Han?" "On the play, forcibly demolished and relocated the Hedong Temple.
But the officials are very good and upright. The year before last, Li Zhi went to Mount Tai and sent eunuchs to Jianghan to purchase strange bamboo and wood, wanting to move them to the imperial garden. The eunuch abused his power, acted nonsense all the way, and bullied and suppressed the surname of Baiyuan. When he ran through Jingzhou, Su Liangsi forcibly arrested them, and then played Li Zhi. For the sake of the bamboo and wood in the distance, worrying about the people is not the work of the Holy Monkey people. Li Zhi openly admitted his mistake and ordered the bamboo to be cast on the Yangtze River. Then Zhao Su Liangsi was the governor of Yongzhou, and he and Liu Renliang jointly managed the disaster, and he had quite a political achievement.
There is also Wei Fangqin, who is also more upright by nature.
Of course, all the prime ministers can't be like Wu Chenghei, or the likes of Qianwei, so there is no way for the national family to govern.
The same is true for the later Wu Zetian, some of whom are talented, and they are used to govern the country. Most of them are obedient and maintain their political power.
If it weren't for the Lu clan's more damaging plan this time, Li Wei would either bear the evil name and kill his mother directly, or sit back and wait for her to die. Only playing tricks in the court is a dead end in the end. Liu Renliang said that the Empress Dowager Feng, that is 100% inevitable.
Wu Zetian didn't expect that it was these two people who became the protagonists of today's talks.
Behind the bead curtain, looking at everyone's expressions, their faces were cautious and their expressions were silent, and they all knew what had happened.
In fact, such a big matter, not only a few prime ministers, but also all departments of the imperial city, three provinces, six departments, nine temples and five supervisors at this time, including the secretaries of the province, the palace province and the internal service province, all of them were heard at this time. At this moment, almost all the officials put down the official documents in their hands and were discussing in various yamen in the imperial city.
Without much nonsense, he asked straight to the point: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about what happened today?" ”
Su Liangsi arched his hand and was the first to speak: "Queen Mother, it is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty that Your Majesty can appear safely." Now that His Majesty has returned, the Queen Mother should revise various policies. Including the pardon of Di Renjie, Zhu Jingze, and Li Yiyan, and the urgent recall of the families of the six exiled Lingnan families, especially the two talented people in the East Palace, so as to avoid misunderstandings between the mothers and sons. In addition, the Queen Mother issued an edict again, announcing to the world that she would return to His Majesty and retire to the harem, so that the power of the Tang Dynasty could be smoothly handed over. Then the world is peaceful, and there will be no misunderstanding between the Queen Mother and Her Majesty, and they will enjoy the year of heaven. ”
Wei Fangzhen shook his head and said: "This alone is not enough, the Queen Mother has taken some drastic measures since she came to power, and according to the ministers, she will issue another edict to express her determination to the world's hundred surnames, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”
The two of them are talking from their hearts, if Wu Zetian really does this, after all, he is still a mother, what can Li Wei do?
But the listener doesn't think so.
Wu Chengsi jumped like thunder and said, "Su Xianggong, Wei Xianggong, how can you say such things?" Who brought you to? ”
It's good, Wu Zetian raised it, and the two of them are also grateful, but private feelings are private feelings, the national family is the national family, and if I am appointed as the prime minister, I will do a good job in the prime minister's part. But when it comes to the future of the national family, then I also want to speak fairly.
Some time ago, I thought that the emperor had encountered misfortune, and the king of Xiang was a soft goods, and he didn't do anything, so he couldn't do anything. I had to stay honestly in the political hall, or stay in the Ministry of Punishment and do things, and disappear automatically at other times. Come out of sight, out of mind. His Majesty has appeared, so for the sake of the country, we have to fight.
Wei Fangzhi snorted coldly and said: "Wu Xianggong, you are only a shallow learner, only relying on your status as a relative, you are lucky to be the prime minister." You should not interfere in such national affairs. ”
What the hell is it?
As a person from the Jingzhaowei family, he has long looked down on Zhu Wu's actions, especially this Wu Chenghei, who does not learn and has no skills.
Su Liangsi rushed to the curtain and said: "Queen Mother, the minister is very puzzled, you let the ministers be the prime minister, is it the prime minister's business, or do the ministers blindly ignore the national family and society, come to flatter, and even obey Wu Chenghe's orders." If that's the case, it's okay if the prime minister doesn't do it. ”
