Chapter 114: Grabbing the Knife (Part II)

Li Shoucheng and Wang Guo left Luoyang and went to Qinghai.

In order to grab time, Wu Zetian summoned them to Shangyang Palace before they left, and said: "Don't delay the war in the north, go in a hurry." ”

"Hmm." The two replied loudly.

In a hurry, in a hurry, after answering, he left immediately, turned on his horse, took the guards, and galloped westward.

Watching them leave, Wu Zetian smiled.

The core of the power of the Tang Dynasty was the relative power and the military power.

Li Wei racked his brains on how to improve the situation once the people were mediocre and the country was defeated, but in fact, Li Shimin had laid a good prototype. That was the distribution of power in the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Jian took Zhou Lisui, was very jealous of the Guanlong aristocracy, and followed the six-ministry system of the three provinces of the Northern Dynasties. However, the prime ministers are all in Shangshu Province, and Zhongshu cannot be hindered. Therefore, when the powerful minister Yang Su served as Shangshuling, Yang Guang felt jealous. When Pei Lin served as a servant, he was regarded as the Duke of Zhou.

Li Shimin made reforms and set up the political affairs hall in Menxia Province, highlighting the authority of the subordinates to deliberate and refute. For example, Wei Zheng used the provincial authority to dismiss Li Shi's handwritten edict many times. According to his system, any order ordered by the emperor could only be passed after a resolution of the government council. If it is not approved by the government affairs hall, it is a written document that violates the regulations, and the local organs cannot recognize it. The emperor is also not allowed to use Zhu Pi, only to use an ink pen, and the sealing bag is also changed to an oblique seal, which is called an oblique seal ink. In history, Li Bao'er has used this oblique seal ink many times to sell officials and lords. In fact, it is a mandate of the legal system.

For those who are in the political hall, the king's order must not be in vain to others, contrary to the ground, overturned to the community, and not to the people, otherwise they will all be dismissed. There is already an institutionalized right to discuss the monarch and supervise the monarch. In addition, for the dictatorship of the ministers, the prime ministers of the three provinces were gathered to discuss the politics collectively in the provincial government hall under the door, and took turns to keep records, and the senior officials of the six ministries and the imperial history platform could participate, brainstorming, and working together, so as to disperse power.

However, Li Zhi did not continue to improve this system, Li Shimin's system was dominated by the people, and it was also trivial, and in the hands of Li Zhi, the ministers who could enter the political hall were gradually fewer, and the power of the political hall was gradually concentrated, which laid the foundation for the later emergence of Li Linfu and the prime minister's system.

The prime minister still shook hands and refuted the power, and the power was greater than that of Li Shimin, so if you want to seize power, you must start with each prime minister.

Next is military power.

Guo Zhengyi was worried about Qinghai's erosion, but he didn't think that once Heizhi Changzhi was recalled to Luoyang, the imperial court changed its mind and asked Cheng Wuting to go to the north to preside over the defense, and give Heizhi Chang a high-ranking and light-powered idle position, what if he stayed in Luoyang for retirement?

This time, Wu Zetian did not succeed.

Hei Tooth Changzhi vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know how bad it was, so he asked Liu to go to Lingxi to inform Li Wei.

Pei Xingjian thought about it a long time ago, and in his expectation, he thought that His Majesty would end the war at the end of May. It was more than half a month earlier than the actual end of the war. It is possible that Li Wei did not do a good job, and it is possible that Pei Xingjian neglected the tallness of the city wall.

Why did you have this idea? It was because the weather was very hot, and in June, it was very hot in the Khorasan region, and Li Wei brought all the northern soldiers, who were not adapted to this kind of weather, and there would be a possibility of plague.

Therefore, it is necessary to end the war at the end of May, and then hold the city, defend it if it can be defended, and attack it again after the autumn. Then Li Wei will inevitably turn around and watch the domestic movements, and he will also understand. If you can't comprehend this, you can only wait for the Queen Mother to take down the Qinghai army. Then, regardless of the situation in Lingxi, he led the army back to Qinghai and expelled Li Xiaoyi and Wang Guo. Then it is tantamount to openly disobeying his father's orders and seizing Qinghai. In order to prevent the two old men from using this as an excuse to set up a new emperor, they had to attack Luoyang and commit the rebellious act of killing their father and mother.

also notified Hei Tooth Changzhi, but the news was fed back to Luoyang, and he was recuperating at home again, and it had been a while since he got the war report from the north. The letter was in Qinghai, and Liu had already [started] to leave. Just following his orders, Hei Fang Changzhi sent people to infiltrate the city of Luo and deliver a letter to the Wulu clan.

Hearing that Li Shoucheng and Wang Guo left, Pei Xingjian was still a little worried.

I sent a letter to Heizhi Changzhi, but it was too late, and I was afraid that the emperor would not come up with it.

Li Shoucheng and Wang Guo knew that the time was very urgent, and there was almost no rest along the way, and they began to set off before the sun came out, and only stopped at the nearby post station after the sun set, and rushed to Shanzhou almost non-stop. When he arrived in Shanzhou City, he didn't sit down, and Li Shoucheng immediately called the black tooth Changzhi and the change teacher to come to receive the order. The Qinghai soldiers said that the black tooth Changzhi went to Shancheng.

As Wu Zetian's confidant, the old eunuch knew that the Queen Mother had taken a crucial step, so he rushed to Shancheng. However, when they arrived in Shancheng, the soldiers reported that Hei Tooth Changzhi had gone to Wansu City. rushed to Wansu City again, and Heizhi Changzhi went to Jishi Mountain again. Li Shoucheng finally got angry, this is too coincidental, let the soldiers go and ask Hei Tooth Changzhi to go to Wansu City immediately to receive orders. The old eunuch couldn't run.

Another ten days passed.

Li Shoucheng was anxious, and called the Qinghai soldiers to inquire again, but this time he answered, but it was Hei Yan Changzhi who borrowed Momen Road from Jishi Mountain to Hezhou. Li Shoucheng almost fainted, although the Tang Dynasty only occupied Qinghai in Hedong, but it was also a large piece of territory, so if you go around like this, you may not be able to see the face of the black tooth Changzhi for three months.

He said gloomily: "Do you Blacktooth General want to refuse the order?" ”

This crime cannot be added indiscriminately, Li Jinxing left Qinghai, Xue Rengui died in Yanmen Pass, and more than 100,000 soldiers in Qinghai were all under the command of one of the Black Tooth Chang. How could the imperial court not be afraid? This time, it is equivalent to saying that the black tooth often wants to rebel.

The adjutant general in front of him changed his face with fright, and said, "Don't dare, General Blacktooth has already received the news [first] and immediately rode over on a fast horse." ”

"About a few days?" "Three or four days, four or five days."

"Sprinkle the family and wait, no, I'll go to Dohe City to wait for him." The two meet to save time.

and Wang Guo came to the city of pouring rivers. After waiting for three days, the long history of Watering River City came in to report that Hei Tooth Changzhi had returned and asked him to go and see him.

"See?" Lee almost jumped up.

Changshi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "That's what General Black Tooth said. ”

Li Shoucheng and Wang Guo glanced at each other, inexplicable. Could it be that the Black Tooth Changzhi really wants to rebel? It's not like ah, he said he refused the order, it was a big hat, although the black tooth Changzhi had a lot of soldiers, but he was a Hu man, and if he wanted to rebel, he would kill himself.

Guessing in his heart, he still came to the palace with the guards The black tooth Chang Zhi greeted the door of the ya, dressed in a plain robe, and when he saw them coming, he bowed down and said, "The minister knocks to welcome the Qincha." ”

Li Shoucheng breathed a sigh of relief and asked unhappily: "Black Tooth Changzhi, you are so bold that you actually let the Sprinkle family visit you." ”

"The minister doesn't dare, but there is one person Li Neisao who must be visited."

"Who?"

"Come in and know.

Li Shoucheng was puzzled and followed the black tooth Changzhi into the mansion, and saw a person sitting in the main hall of the mansion, with a face full of frost, and immediately fell down. How dare you not worship!

Li Wei was used to non-stop, and he had just arrived in Watering River City.

If there is no incident between Zhang Qianxun and Cheng Wuting and Shang, it is possible that Wu Zetian will succeed this time. But it has already happened, how can you not be vigilant?

The loss of the Hebei army is not a big problem. It is not his own descendant troops, but Qinghai can not be lost again, if Qinghai is lost, the prime minister is either useless, or his mother's henchman, the mother of the northern army is controlled, and the Yulin army is controlled. What's the use of having only one righteousness in your own hands? Qinghai soldiers are the most important knives in their future, and they are also related to the victory or defeat of the war in the Western Regions in a month or two, as well as the future direction of Lingxi.

But at that time, the overall situation in Khorasan was undecided, and it was also a critical time, so he could not come back, so he could only write a letter to let Hei Zhi Changzhi take precautions in advance. Khorasan was rough and did not have time to preside over the Persian holy fire ceremony, so he quietly rushed back to Qinghai with a team of men and horses. You must also come back in time, otherwise it will be difficult for Black Tooth to find an excuse to drag it on.

Seeing Li Wei, Li Shoucheng knew that the Queen Mother's plan would not succeed, so he pretended to be stupid and crazy, and bowed down and said: "Slaves and maids see Your Majesty." ”

"I heard that you came to Qinghai to make a decree, what is your purpose?"

"The Emperor Taishang decreed that General Heizhi should be appointed as the governor of the Daoist University and preside over the defense of the north."

The posture is different, and the black tooth is often the chief manager, and Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxun can only be appeased. The appeasement envoy has no small power, but there is still some gap with the chief manager.

"When did you leave from the Eastern Capital? ”

"The slave maid set out from the Eastern Capital on June 21."

"So when did you arrive in Shanzhou?"

"It was July Xinchou (July 16) to Shanzhou." With that, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"You old slave and maid walked very fast, it only took more than 20 days to get from Luoyang to Shanzhou."

Wang Guo's face also changed and said that until now, the emperor not only did not let them get up, but also called the most popular eunuch around the queen mother an old slave and maid, which is a little bad, very bad!

"Your Majesty, the political situation in the north is erosive, and the slaves and maids don't dare to delay all the way."

"Li Shoucheng, how did I treat you in the past?"

"Your Majesty is very appreciative of slaves and maids."

"Then why did you repay me so much?"

"The slave doesn't understand", Li Shoucheng said this, his body trembled slightly. Qinghai is the emperor's lifeline, and he will dig up the emperor's lifeline, and today the emperor is angry, and he may be able to kill himself. But I don't understand, the emperor should be in Lingxi at the moment, according to what is written in the Di newspaper, it is possible to reach the abdomen of Khorasan, how did he run to Qinghai?

"I don't understand, do you? Come on, drag this old slave out and slap your mouth for twenty. ”

If other eunuchs heard it, they would definitely take out Wu Zetian's signboard. Li Shoucheng was very shrewd and didn't resist, but just pleaded, "The slave is wronged, the slave is wronged."

Where can I control him, Li Wei will not come back, maybe everyone doesn't understand, but they understand, and they don't have confidence in their hearts. As soon as he came back and told the truth, the soldier was not indignant. A few guards came over, dragged him out of the mansion, and in front of everyone, a big mouth on the left and a big mouth on the right scraped down fiercely.

The matter is far from over. Li Wei looked down at Wang Guo again: "I heard that you are very proud during this time?" ”

Wang Guo said fearfully: "The minister doesn't dare, he got some promotions by luck."

"For the sake of promotion, you dare to put me to death."

"How dare you!" Wang Guo was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, with this charge, the emperor would kill himself at this moment, and it would not be too much.

When he guessed, Li Wei was moved to kill. Don't be vigilant, take a look, Zhang Qianxun betrayed, Ling Hu Zhitong betrayed. If the mother's hand reaches Qinghai, the Qinghai soldiers betray, Qinghai will still lose!

"If you don't accept it, I'll convince you later. But you bold and reckless, if we don't kill you, our Datang will not be at peace. Come on, Ju General, I'm going to kill him and convince him! ”

The knife was grabbed in time and saved, but the knife was used to kill.

Let's kill first.
