Chapter 136: Spring Thunder (8)
Zhou Xing quickly reported Di Renjie's words to Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian was very unhappy when he heard it, what do you still want, I let you make a promise. Do you still want to have real power like Pei Yan?
It also reminded her of the embarrassment that Di Renjie brought to herself when he overstepped his authority to try Xu Jingzong's case, and the investigation of the Chongyan case with Zhu Jingze, which led to her husband's Zen concession, if she hadn't lost this righteousness, why would she be so passive. is that the life and death of the eldest son are unknown, and with this righteousness, she is still sitting on pins and needles in Luoyang. [bsp; Anger flashed in his eyes, and the search vanished.
She has a way to deal with Di Renjie. Back then, he did things for his son, leaving a big hole, as long as this hole was dug up, Qiu Renjie would have no place to be buried. But he can't move for the time being, Di Renjie himself is not terrible, what is terrible is that behind him, there are Qinghai generals, Liu Renliang.
This is what she fears the most.
In the blink of an eye, the stakes were sorted out, and Wu Zetian said: "Renjie is loyal, and the mourning family is very promising. ”
Am I wrong to sue this complaint? After hearing this, Zhou Xing was very puzzled.
If you don't find out the queen mother's mind, it will be difficult to act on your own.
This guy still wants to use his ability to find out Wu Zetian's mind clearly.
Wu Zetian also knew his ability, and said comfortingly: "Your loyalty, the mourning family also promises." ”
After a change of voice, he said again: "You go and show the case file of Xu Jingye to the mourning family." ”
"Whoa." Zhou Xing retreated: After a while, he brought a thick stack of files. Li Shoucheng took it and handed it to the back of the curtain. Wu Zetian looked through them one by one. I finally understood why Qiu Renjie was angry.
I can't help but admit that Zhou Xing is very capable of being a jailer, and in just a few days, he actually tortured so many soldiers, people, and low-level officials in Luoyang who were dissatisfied with her through some unconventional means.
Some people have said a lot of radical words, and if they are not dealt with, Luoyang is a country that is fundamentally turbulent, and the consequences are unimaginable. But there are many people, but because of their loyalty to their eldest son, they were slapped by Zhou Xing and forcibly involved. Except for a few, most of these people only silently watched, or dared to be angry. was also judged by Zhou Xing as an anti-party.
However, Wu Zetian paid attention to it a little more. A lot of people were arrested, and a lot of people were killed. But in the middle, except for those who complain and those who are loyal to their sons, there are no henchmen of Pei Yan and Cheng Wuting, but Wu Zetian does not blame, the strength of Pei Yan and Cheng Wuting is not something that the little jailer in front of him can exonerate.
put down the file and said calmly: "Xu Jingye's case, let's stop here." ”
"Did the minister do something wrong?" Zhou Xing asked cautiously.
"You didn't do anything wrong, it's because the mourning family doesn't want to hurt more people and give them a chance to mend their ways."
Only half of these words are true of Wu Zetian. I admire Zhou Xing very much, and if you want to keep this home, you need a very vicious watchdog. Zhou Xing is the best candidate for this watchdog.
But Wu Zetian calmly realized that some time ago, the steps were a little bigger. At this time, it is necessary to collect and stabilize the situation. Moreover, Zhou Xing has already killed many people, giving some people enough shock that there is no need to kill them again. So as not to be the opposite:
At this time, there should not be too many people who kill their sons. lest he fall into more traps and prevent his son from still living in the world. Although this possibility is becoming more and more elusive. I didn't do it last year and this spring, when I had my husband's will, and I didn't do anything, my son just returned to the Eastern Capital smoothly, and I couldn't do anything about myself. But since the second half of the year, in order to speed up the control of power, he has taken several big steps, and once his son appears, it will be very unfavorable to him.
Including leaving Di Renjie, it was all to leave a way back.
If her son dies, her main enemies are not her son's henchmen, but Pei Yan and Cheng Wuting: one has great prestige and appeal among the ministers, and the other controls the Yulin Army, which is what makes her most restless in the future.
Di Renjie inadvertently said a word, and many people died.
This is something that Qiu Renjie did not expect.
The situation in the eastern capital gradually stabilized. At this time, a group of guests came.
The envoys of Tibet came to negotiate peace:
After Wu Zetian heard this, he didn't think about it, and said: "They made my son's life and death unknown, and they still have the courage to come to negotiate peace." He told them that if they want to fight, they will fight, and if they want to negotiate peace, they will never be able to. ”
This time, it was almost supported by the Manchu ministers.
has given them a chance, and they are almost ready to kiss, but what did the Tubo people do in the end? This is a pack of wolves that can never be fed, more hateful than the Turks.
In particular, some ministers who still have old feelings for the Li Tang regime are even more gnashing their teeth against the Tubo people:
The messenger was driven back in disgrace. When he arrived in Qinghai, after Li Weitong heard it, he said to Heizhi Changzhi: "The queen mother's intentions are not pure. ”
Blacktooth just smiled. Doing things back and forth is aimed at the Queen Mother, but he is a courtier and does not dare to say it clearly.
Li Wei said again: "You send someone to invite them over." ”
The mother's intention was nothing more than to provoke the Tubo people and let the Tubo people attack again, so that the soldiers of Qinghai and the Western Regions would both be defeated. The same is true of the mother's character, she may like talent, but this talent is like her old horse tamer, she will cherish it if it is used by her. If it is not used by her, it is better to kill him with a dagger than to make him unruly and disobedient.
Maybe her mother knows that the country needs to see the generals of the sea, but these generals are not loyal to her, and she will not cherish them.
Li Wei's ideas are also a little extreme. Wu Zetian did this, not only for this reason, but also to make a statement, in addition, she did not like to adopt a compromise policy with foreign races. So in history, there were hundreds of defeats and battles, and it was not until later in life that he saw that the country was embarrassed, so he compromised with Mo Si.
The Tibetan messenger brought in
Li Wei was dressed as a civilian and didn't think about it.
Letting him sit down, Li Wei said, "I heard that you Tubo want to negotiate peace with our Tang Dynasty? ”
"I?" The teacup in the hand of the messenger of Tubo fell to the ground with a crisp crushing sound, which frightened him.
"What do you want? Do you really think that my men are defeated, and your great arguments in Tibet can make my life and death unknown? ”
Not necessarily, as if every time you fight, you suffer more. But I don't dare to say it, I also know the rogue style of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he will kill you steadily. Who makes the country strong? But in a blink of an eye, another question came to mind, dare to love whether this emperor is fake and his life and death are unknown. After thinking about it, I understood that it was his conspiracy, and it turned out that the water in the Tang Dynasty was still muddier than that of Tibet.
When he came to his senses, he didn't dare to sit down arrogantly, and said on the ground: "This battle was forced by the Gar brothers, and there is opposition in our Tubo, I don't believe that Your Majesty will send someone to our Tubo to ask." ”
This said, he is not a person from the Wulu clan, and he is also a member of the Zampu party. But Li Wei didn't have time to care about him at the moment, and said slowly: "If you want to make peace, you Tubo will talk about Qinling and provoke our Tang Dynasty many times, go back on your word, and hand him over to our Datang, and the Federation will immediately agree to your Tubo people to negotiate peace." ”
It's the idea of the Wulu clan, which is also helping the Wulu clan and further weakening the prestige of the Gar brothers:
You also have to see each other, otherwise Yuqinling will be cranky, and Li Wei doesn't want to have another battle with Yuqinling at this time. Even if Yu Qinling could see through his intentions and learn the news that he was still alive, he forcibly sent troops, but because of the strong opposition in the country, he had to stop.
After saying that, in order to prevent the news from being leaked, he sent someone to forcibly "protect" the Tibetan envoy and the guards to Baihai before returning.
The Tang Dynasty came to the Tibetan guests, and after New Year's Day, a guest also came to the Turkic steppes.
Kong Zhengfang, who had disappeared for several months, suddenly appeared near the Turkic tent and asked to see Gu Lu.
Gu Lulu's success was partly a fluke, and it happened to coincide with the chaos of the Tang Dynasty's regime change, and partly because of his own ability. In particular, it cherishes talents. Kong Zhengfang was originally unknown, but whether it was Wu Zetian, Tubo, or Turkic, they all sent a large number of scouts to secretly infiltrate Qinghai.
If you want to know whether the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is alive or dead, you can get first-hand information in Qinghai. This life and death will not only affect Wu Zetian's decision-making, but also the decision-making of Tubo and the Turks: so the scouts brought back the conflict between Kong Zhengfang and the Qinghai generals.
At first, Gu Dulu didn't pay attention, but just asked lightly, who is Kong Zhengfang:
Only then did the scout say that he had an experience when he went to Luoyang, and that most of the North Gate Scholars loved themselves and feathers, or for other reasons, they didn't distinguish that night, but the outside world mistakenly thought that Kong Zhengfang had single-handedly made all the North Gate Scholars speechless. Therefore, in Gu Lulu's heart, he thinks that Kong Zhengfang is a great talent. The facts are not bad, he is bold, has backbone, has a strong temperament, and is an official and a talent. Otherwise, Li Wei would not have picked him.
Hearing that Kong Zhengfang was coming, he was overjoyed, greeted him out of the tent, pulled him to the big tent hand in arm and asked, "Kong Jun, why did you come to me?" ”
Kong Zhengfang said with a sad expression: "I am loyal to Your Majesty, not to the loyal Black Tooth Changzhi."
However, the Queen Mother was tyrannical and did not dare to defect. I had to go to the Great Khan:"
No, there is something in this, and Gu Lulu asked again, "Then why did you give up your majesty?" ”
Kong Zhengfang wiped his tears, shook his head and said, "Great Khan, our majesty will never come back." ”
But in my heart, I said, Your Majesty, don't blame the ministers for being rude, this is what you asked me to say.
As soon as he heard this, he stood up, paced back and forth, and asked again: "I still don't understand:"
"Hei Yan Changzhi and Li Jinxing were derelict in their duties and agreed to risk His Majesty's life. I didn't expect that the Qinling troops would withdraw quickly, and the defense of Nanshankou was not ready, and it was broken by the Tubo. Later, Li Jinxing and Heizhi Changzhi quietly sent many scouts to sneak into Tibet, and it has been more than a year, and they have not yet received news from Your Majesty, do you say that Your Majesty can still survive? ”
"But I didn't hear the Tibetans say that they killed your majesty."
"Great Khan, have you not heard of the temper of our majesty? That is, if he is in danger, will he reveal his identity and put the country in a state of crisis:"
Gu Lulu thought about it for a while, and what he heard seemed to be like this.
"Then since something happened to your Tang Dynasty emperor, aren't those generals afraid?"
"Why should they be afraid, there are a large number of soldiers in their hands, waiting for the Queen Mother to make a price."
"That's just as well," Gu Lulu laughed dumbly.
Kong Zhengfang continued: "As long as the Great Khan promises me one thing, I will make a plan to ensure that the Turks will return to their former glory......
Bone Elo thinks he's one
is a very capable person, and he also deals with the people of the Tang Dynasty a lot, and knows that there are indeed many talents in the Tang Dynasty who have been buried, such as Ashide Yuanzhen. So he asked, "Tell me what's the matter?" ”
"Please ask the Great Khan to raise troops against the military and restore the Tang Dynasty." Kong Zhengfang fell down suddenly.
Anti-martial arts? Gu Lulu smiled bitterly, he knew how many catties and taels he had, and he could take advantage of a small fight on the border of the Tang Dynasty, but it was impossible to attack Luoyang? If he could, he would have attacked a long time ago. How much wealth will you get by attacking Luoyang?
However, he still helped Kong Zhengfang up and said, "Then what do you do?" ”
"As long as the Great Khan abandons his false name, sends a large army to break through Shuozhou, captures Anashi Daozhen alive, and takes him as the mastermind, great things can be accomplished."
Gu Lulu paced back and forth, Ashina Dao is really the son of Ashina Sheer, really, even if his mother is a princess of the Tang Dynasty, she is far more red than herself: it is precisely because Dao Zhen stayed in Shuozhou that many tribes in Monan have not been convinced of themselves.
After walking for a while, he said: "I am not so stingy with my position, and I will not be like the queen mother of your Tang Dynasty, but Shuozhou is not so easy to attack." ”
"Great Khan. At this time, the Qinghai generals did not express their position, and all the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were guarded by the Guanzhong Zhuguan, and the internal situation was unstable: although Ashina Daozhen was the son of Sheer, his own military talent was very low. Once the Great Khan sent troops, he would definitely be captured, and at that time, the strength of all the Turkic tribes, plus the Great Khan's soldiers who were fighting against the Tang Dynasty in order to restore the Tang Dynasty, the people of Shandong would also support it. The Great Khan can reproduce the great cause of the Turks, and our Tang Dynasty will also be saved. ”
Gu Dulu will not really listen to him, what Tang will do, what will be Wu. However, Kong Zhengfang's words make sense, at the moment when the Tang Dynasty is in chaos, the emperor is really dead, for example, it is a great opportunity for himself. shouted: "Spread the valley of lust and Yuanzhen."
Came to see me."
PS: Explain. Liu Renliang's worries, Li Zhi is dead, and Li Wei will not have resistance to entering Beijing, and those checkpoints alone can't stop it. There is no resistance to regaining power, and under absolute force, no conspiracy and trickery will work, and besides, he is clothed in righteousness. But Wu Zetian is not evil, although he has done so, he has also made some contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and he is still his biological mother, so he cannot be forcibly confined. Looking at Sima Guang's Zizhi Tongjian, such an anti-martial arts person has vaguely criticized Li Xian's ban on Wu Zetian. How many people did Wu Zetian kill at that time? As long as you don't have confinement, anything can happen in the palace. Li Wei is still in danger.
Pei Xingjian's strategy is to cultivate evil, tolerate it first, let Wu Zetian seize power, and give birth to some notoriety, so that there can be a moral seizure of power. Therefore, Li Wei went to the Western Regions to raise evil.
Without Lu's scheme, it was even more vicious, making Li Wei pretend to be dead. This is relatively easy, after she arrives in Qinghai, there will be many battles, each battle, there will be the main force, there will be the flank force, there will be logistics, there will be outflanking, and there will be interception. There is always a force in danger. And Li Wei's life and death with soldiers in Qinghai is also easy to believe. And the vast scope of the campaign can just avoid interrogation, to Qinghai can be said to be in the Western Regions, to the Western Regions can be said to be in Lingxi, Khorasan, and even Xinde:
At the beginning, Wu Zetian would definitely take precautions. But as soon as Li Zhi died, the distribution of power was nothing more than in the hands of Wu Zetian and Pei Yan. If there is no means, Pei Yan's real power will be greater: Wu Zetian and Pei Yan's desire for power is short, they are afraid of Li Wei, they are in a state of cooperation, and if the time is long, there will inevitably be competition. It must be Wu Zetian's victory, but everyone has a fisherman's story in their hearts, and it is difficult to fill it. You, me, him, everyone is like this, who can not admit it? After a long time, I will think that Li Wei is dead. Wu Zetian's desire for power will make her do more drastic things, Li Tang Yuwei is still there, and the people are more supportive, and they will not accept it, and if they don't accept it, they will be suppressed. And there is great evil. With the great evil, Li Wei can solve the palace in the name of justice, and the people will not think about it, and future generations will not think that a bad precedent has been set.
It is not explicitly stated in the book, but there are many people who can ask about it, by the way. As for whether Xu Jingye is a rebellion, please
