Hearing Wu Zetian's words, it was clear that he didn't want to pursue Wei Xi's side, but succumbed to him, Zhou Xing scolded in his heart, but he had to kowtow and say: "The minister offended Her Royal Highness the princess, the minister is guilty!" ”

The old woman broke her thoughts, scolded non-stop, and Zhou Xing kowtowed again and again to ask for sin, and slammed her voice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's not without sorrow, no matter how majestic the prison is, in the face of the supreme imperial power, P is not.

The cool officials lost their wind, and the death of his subordinates was in vain!

He was aggrieved enough, and at this moment, some thoughts that should not have arisen in his heart!

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Shangguan Wan'er, who was also in the hall, inadvertently showed a hideous appearance when he looked at him and kowtowed, thoughtfully.

……

When Wei Xi rushed to the palace, he found that Wu Zetian and Princess Taiping were leisurely drinking tea, and Zhou Xing had already chased him away, he was just a dog and was not qualified to serve at all.

Seeing Wei Xi come in, Princess Taiping gave him an OK move.

So after Wei Xi saluted, Shi Shiran sat down to drink tea together, he didn't mention anything before, but played a few things:

First, the army can't be messed up!

"The minister thinks that the army can't be chaotic!"

He said: "The army is the pillar of the Tang Dynasty, if the army is chaotic, I am afraid that the rule of the Tang Dynasty will be shaken!" ”

"The army can't be chaotic no matter what, if there is any doubt, only the queen mother's edict can deal with the army generals, you can't just attack the army, you can't easily arrest the army generals! Otherwise, anyone who enters the army will act without the order of the Queen Mother, but I am afraid that the army will be difficult to control! ”

"The army must be stable, and the only one who can give orders to the army is the Queen Mother!" Wei Xi's voice echoed in the main hall: "The army only accepts the edict of the Queen Mother and does not obey the words of others. ”

Princess Taiping came to assist and said: "The courtiers wanted to see the queen mother, but the palace guards blocked them, the courtiers thought, the queen mother would never give a will not let the courtiers see her, but who dared to be so bold to separate the flesh and blood of the heavenly family!" ”

Their words deeply touched Wu Zetian!

The Turks rebelled, she was not afraid, she had Wei Xi, she had the Tang Army, which beat the Turks to the ground and let her sleep peacefully at night.

The people rebelled, she was not afraid, she used the army to suppress them.

The rebellion of the sons and grandsons of Emperor Li Tang, coupled with the rebellion of Wenchen, she was not afraid at all, because the army stood by her side.

But if the army is unstable, then who else can she ask for?

In Shangguan Wan'er's information to Wu Zetian, it was pointed out that the army had carried out the education of loyal ministers and patriotism, and the political activities of "being loyal to the empress dowager and defending the Tang Dynasty" were long-term and effective.

The army is stable, and the generals do their duty, they will only train and fight, obey the orders of the queen mother, and do nothing else.

Of course, not only Shangguan Wan'er's report, Wu Zetian also has other channels, reflecting the same facts as Shangguan Wan'er, and the army is really stable.

Wei Xi's general order of "not interfering in the affairs of the court and not publishing court discussions" was issued early, and the officers were honest, holding their tails and behaving, they would only bow their heads and obey orders.

Although Cheng Wuting's incident made the Cheng family miserable, the benefit was that it fully showed Wei Xi's foresight, and the officers did not obey!

Wei Xi's words reminded Wu Zetian that if the cool officials threatened the officers to obey the orders with the prison system, they were afraid that the power was still above the Queen Mother and the Ministry of War, and the army would have an extra commander, and it would be worth it!

In the world, the army is her private property, and no one can touch it!

"The army is indeed the pillar of the imperial court! No one else can be allowed to make a sound! Wu Zetian nodded.

"What the emperor said is good!" Wu Zetian agreed.

"Wan'er!" Wu Zetian preached.

"In!" Shangguan Wan'er responded.

"Intended!" Wu Zetian condensed slightly: "No one is allowed to enter the army in any name to disturb trouble, and no one is allowed to casually violate the soldiers. ”

Shangguan Wan'er flew here to write an edict, and Wei Xi left Xi to thank the army on behalf of God!

With this edict, it is equivalent to putting a protective shield on the army, and the cool officials can no longer reach out to the army casually, otherwise Wei Xi will cut off their claws!

It is difficult to arrest Cui Qianxun casually (Cui Qianxun has three positions, he is a waiter of the Ministry of Works, and he is a retainer of the princess's mansion, or a military figure of the Western Regions Protector's Mansion, and he has entered the army), if he dares to do this, Wei Xi will dare to lead the troops into the prison with the holy decree, and it is not counted to save people, on the grounds that the cool officials are resisting the decree, whoever provokes him will kill him.

Others don't dare, but Wei Xi dare!

Hundreds of thousands of Tubo, Turkic, Khitan, and Japanese people, Wei Xi said that he would kill them, what is the cool official who kills them, and all the important people around him are installed in the military, and see who dares to touch his people, this is the strategy of drawing firewood from the bottom of the salary, after all, he can't always catch people for one or two cool officials and go to the Queen Mother to intercede.

Then he played a second thing: "The people must not be in chaos!" ”

"I, the people of 'China', have a pure nature, they all know the meaning of the court, as long as there is a little favor, they can survive, and they are all grateful and loyal to the court!" Wei Xi emphasized the benefits of the people of Datang and said: "Now my Datang is prosperous, the roads are quiet, taxes are increasing, and grain harvests are ......."

What he said was the truth, I don't know why, before Wu Zetian and Emperor Gaozong, there were always droughts, floods and insect disasters came one after another, resulting in natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the people were miserable, Chang'an even fought rice for 400 yuan (compared to the previous Zhenguan Dynasty's rice for five dollars), but when Wu Zetian was in charge of the dynasty alone, the whole society miraculously converged the disaster, the GDP increased year by year, and the living conditions of the people were much better.

"Therefore, if you want to set up a prison, this discussion is inappropriate, local affairs, local officials are in charge, and those who can't manage it well will be dealt with by the imperial court!"

Wei Xi counterattacked the cool officials' desire to set up local branches!

With the arrest of the sons and grandsons of the Tang Dynasty in full swing, the arrest of the central bureaucrats, and the silence of them, the cool officials showed their might, and they were no longer satisfied with the light tossing in the center (everyone who could be caught was caught by them), they played Wu Zetian, and wanted to set up branches under the prison system.

In the cool officials, who dares to say a word!

Wei Xi lived up to his expectations, and advocated in front of Wu Zetian that it was better to be still than to be still, so don't let the cool officials harm the place!

"Otherwise, when the prison system goes down to the locality, who dares to obstruct the office, they can do whatever they want, and the local officials will all stand aside, but can the prison system manage the local area on behalf of the local officials? Can they manage the army and govern the government? How can the tax grain of the imperial court be guaranteed to be collected! General talents? I can't do it! Wei Xi said generously.

Wu Zetian first looked at him quietly, and saw that his eyes were as clear as water, and the one on his face was sunny, and then he smiled and said, "What the emperor said is extremely true!" ”

She vetoed the cool officials' letters, and Shangguan Wan'er refuted the cool officials' recitals and did not allow this discussion.

Wei Xi struck while the iron was hot, and then went to the third report: Fishing for people!
