Zhu Jing went back in confusion.

After a while, he understood some of what Pei Xingjian said.

The imperial court sent troops to Suizhou to quell the rebellion, and the northern troops were slightly empty. The Turks took the opportunity to invade Ulju and assassinated Shi Li Sijian.

Zhang Qianqiao couldn't return to the army, so he had to send Fengzhou assassin Shi Cui Zhizhi to rescue. Cui Zhi discerned the troops out of Fengzhou and met the enemy in Chaona Mountain (Guyang East, Inner Mongolia), which was a real brave general and broke it. But he encountered two more powerful opponents, Ashina Gululu and Ashde Yuanzhen's way of using troops, no less than Cui Zhifen. The two knew Cui Zhibian's skills, and deliberately attracted a small number of troops, Cui Zhibian was leading the army to pursue the defeated Turkic army, and the Turkic army was killed. Cui Zhizhi was outnumbered and died on the battlefield.

It was a few days after Zhang Qianqiao got the news, and he sent someone to confirm it, and the news reached Luoyang by the end of June.

Luoyang was in an uproar, including the two governors of Wang Liben and Li Chongyi, and the Turks defeated three Tang Dynasty governors in a row. And unlike the previous two governors, Cui Zhizhi is famous in the west, and he is a brave general who is even afraid of Qinling.

Therefore, some people say that Zhang Qianqiao deliberately framed Cui Zhizhi.

This statement is very marketable, Cui Zhibian is also a heavy general assigned by Pei Xingjian, Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianqiao deliberately fought for merit to erase Pei Xingjian's credit, and after using this to win the military power in the north, Cui Zhibian was transferred to Fengzhou in danger, and the relationship with Zhang Qianqiao was very tense.

But objectively speaking, at that time, the surroundings were close, and only Cui Zhifen had a battle in his hands, and in terms of generals, only Cui Zhifen was the most prominent. It is impossible to know whether Zhang Qianmiao had the idea of framing Cui Zhifen, but the dispatch of Cui Zhizhi this time was beyond reproach.

Some people are dissatisfied, and in the face of the facts, they cannot be impeached. However, many defeats have proved that Zhang Qianqiao could not successfully command the northern soldiers to resist the Turks.

In the final analysis, it was Wu Zetian's improper employment.

Zhang Qianqiao is a general, not a handsome talent. If there is a good commander, even if it is Cheng Wuting, if it is arranged, let him charge into battle, he can make great contributions. can be alone, and his command ability is not as good as Guo Yuanzhen, Tang Xiujing, and even Xue Ne, although he is a late bloomer, is more suitable for being a commander than him. Or swap him with Cui Zhifen, it is possible that Cui Zhifen also did a better job than him.

In order to control the army, Wu Zetian made an unconventional allocation to Zhang Qianqiao and Cheng Wuting, and some people were not convinced, so they wanted them to make meritorious contributions, which led to the decay of the war situation in the north. Zhang Qianqiao not only made a mistake in command, but also did not perform well after his defeat to the Turks last year. Since that defeat, Zhang Qianmiao has an army in his hands for most of the year, and he has not dared to launch a frontal attack on the Turks.

One was a mistake, two were a mistake, and three times it was unspeakable.

There are not many people who criticize Zhang Qianmiao's actions.

The emperor hardened and took the initiative to go to the Western Regions to be a turtle with a shrunken head. The Queen Mother's set of methods are constantly used, invisible or touchable, but like dense silk nets, which makes people feel cold.

The political situation has led to the decline of the world, but how many ministers have done consistently?

Did Zhang Qianqiao do it wrong? Not necessarily. As long as the Queen Mother is the final victor, he will do the right thing.

Thinking like this, Wu Zetian is the final victory, and Zhang Qianqiao has also done something wrong. In the list of heavy generals killed by Wu Zetian, Zhang Qianqiao is also among them.

Regardless of his character, his talent was lacking, so the ministers began to write letters asking for a change of general in the imperial court.

This kid can't do it in the north, so he has to be replaced by another person. It's not that no one in the imperial court can be mobilized, at least Cheng Wu survived and would do better than Zhang Qianqiao. Let Zhang Qianqiao continue, it is better to change Liu Jingtong. People didn't get the emperor's appreciation, but after a few battles, they fought loudly.

In fact, there is an invisible reason for the erosion in the north, Wu Zetian destroyed the policies of the Tang Dynasty and Pei Xingjian in order to control the power, and now the Tang Dynasty has paid for Wu Zetian.

Pei Xingjian is almost a perfect person, and it is not easy to take over military power from Pei Xingjian. Therefore, starting from Pei Xingjian's recruitment of Ashina Fu Nian, this move is very ingenious, using the power to force Fu Nian to surrender and capture Wen Bo. According to the previous policy of the Tang Dynasty, Wen Bo also had an appointment to appease the rest of Wen Bo. Fu Nian should be promoted, although he made a mistake, but he made a great contribution at the critical time, and Pei Xingjian put down the rebellion without blood.

But in order to deny Pei Xingjian's merits, he imposed on Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxuan, and killed both of them.

Originally, the situation in the imperial court was very good, and Ashina Daozhen went to the north to appease, which was a clever move. But Fu Nian was unjustly killed, and the impact was bad, no one believed Daozhen's words anymore, and even Daozhen himself was unhappy and couldn't do his work. So the whole situation is erosive.

Looking at Fengzhou again, the largest group of Turkic people settled in Fengzhou are Shi Danai's people, which can be said to have a very close relationship with the Tang Dynasty. However, as soon as Fu Nian died, the descendants of Shi Danai, who were also Turkic, were also unconvinced. They did not openly rebel, but did not support the Tang dynasty.

Without this, Cui Zhibian would have stayed in the Western Turks for a long time and would have adjusted his relationship with the Turks. Only from Fengzhou can recruit a lot of Hu soldiers, so in the battle towards Nashan, Cui Zhifen will not be defeated and sacrificed because of the small number of soldiers in his hands.

No one dared to say. Even the imperial court recognized the mistake and chased the confession, but it was too late. But it is only a posthumous seal, and no one dares to hold those behind the scenes responsible.

It is not reported in the book.

Wu Zetian and Li Zhi suddenly went to the White Horse Temple to offer incense. This didn't attract much attention, and the husband and wife still wanted to seal the five mountains, and it was only the White Horse Temple outside the city. But they brought all the concubines in the East Palace, including a few little princes and a few little princesses.

The abbot and the host of the White Horse Temple came out to greet them, and arranged the group to a meditation room at the back. The meditation room is quiet and surrounded by many tall and dense pomegranate trees. The pomegranate flowers withered, and they were hung with small red yellow-orange-orange pomegranates, like little stars, which were very cute.

The mountain breeze blows, and it's very cool.

Li Zhi was not in good health, but he let the bursts of blowing very pleasantly, so he also sat on a chair by the window and looked at the lush trees in the mountains behind.

Wu Zetian stared at several young women, and when he saw Pei Yuhe holding Di Hui's son, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Li Wei has been away for so long, and the East Palace has already let her insert a lot of ears and ears and hear some things in the East Palace. Pei Yuhe has never had a child, and when he saw Di Huite's ability, he begged for it once. After talking about the son, Di Hui gave birth to a daughter again, and did not mention it. Later, after her son left, Di Hui finally gave birth to a son.

Pei Yuhe went to ask for it again.

Di Hui directly made it clear that not only do you have no children, Yang Shunyi has no children, and Shangguan Wanyi also has no children. It's impossible for all three of you to be infertile. If you have a son in the future, what will happen to my son?

When the time comes, it will not be the son of the noble queen, but the fire pit.

We don't have a good background, and we don't want our son to do anything like a prince in the future, as long as we are a prince, we will be safe and satisfied for the rest of our lives.

Don't look at this woman from Qinglou, she is indeed very far-sighted. After the son left this time, it was all up to this woman to dispatch from the middle, and the East Palace was safe and sound, making the outside look harmonious, and Wu Zetian had to admit that he had underestimated this woman at the beginning.

Pei Yuhe had no choice but to say: "Then after five years, I will still have no children, can I adopt him?" ”

If you don't have children after five years, you will have little chance of having children in the future. Besides, no matter how old the child is, he will not have a sense of identity in the future.

Di Hui had no choice but to agree.

Who knew that Pei Yuhe came to see her second son every day, watched and watched, hugged him to his palace, and teased him. At first, it was only taken away for a while, and then it was not sent back all day. In the end, it was simply placed in her dormitory.

Di Hui said dissatisfiedly a few times, but Pei Yuhe didn't hear it. In order to take into account the overall situation and not let the East Palace cause quarrels, Di Hui had to forbear.

But the other daughters gave birth to children safely, and the children and grandchildren were full, and the husbands were happy. The son was absent, and the husband gave him a name. Wei Yue's son took Li Chongjun, probably because of his mother's genetics, he looks very good. Zheng Gongchu's son took Li Chongwang, the highest family. Di Hui's son was named Li Chongfu.

It is very likely that the prince of the East Palace will be in these three sons in the future. Including Li Chongfu, once Pei Yuhe has no son, he will also be a strong contender.

Wu Zetian swept over the daughters again, and she thought that she was stupid and naïve about her son's average system. The son was not really in power, and the East Palace had a sense of crisis, so he reluctantly hugged together. Once in power, there will be a lot of trouble in the East Palace, the children will be big, the son is a god, and the harem will not be peaceful.

But among these women, who is Queen Wang, who is Lady Xiao, and who is herself back then?

Wu Zetian has this idea, which means that she has no idea of being an empress. Being the empress is forced step by step, and all she wants to do is a powerful queen mother, such as the Empress Dowager Feng back then. But as the Empress Dowager Feng, where is Li Wei?

His eyes swept to Wei Yue, this little guy is not simple, and he is still very close to Shangguan Wan'er. Without asking, he turned his head to Li Zhi and said, "Your Majesty, in a blink of an eye, there are groups of children in the East Palace, and we are also old." ”

"Queen Mother, you are not old, you look like you are only in your early thirties." Wan'er said.

It was Li Wei's order, and before leaving, he repeatedly instructed that he would leave for a long time. The East Palace should be united, quiet, and not confusing right and wrong. Also, she couldn't offend the Queen Mother, so Shangguan Wan'er slapped a little sycophant. "You can talk. It just so happens that there are many affairs in the palace, so come to Shangyang Palace to assist the palace. ”

"This ......" Wan'er regretted it, didn't she have nothing to do? Why talk more? This time, I have to accompany the Queen Mother. People say that a companion is like a tiger, and the emperor is not a tiger, which is reasonable. But the Queen Mother is a tiger, and she is a big tiger who has been hungry for many days.

"Don't you want to?"

Wan'er had no choice but to reply: "The concubine is willing." ”

Wu Zetian said again: "Concubine Wade, how about this palace let your father come to Huazhou to serve as the assassin?" ”

"The concubine thanked the Queen Mother." Wei Yue happily bowed down and said. Huazhou is in the middle of Luoyang and Chang'an, and it is very close to the two capitals, as the son of the Jingzhaowei family, he served as the assassin of Huazhou, and he couldn't ask for it.

Then he looked at Pei Yuhe again and asked, "Do you have four brothers?" ”

"Yes."

"Tomorrow, the palace will let them each serve as a lieutenant general."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Not only Wei Yue and Pei Yuhe, but also Zheng Gongchu, Ye Ci Mingyue, Yang Min's only brother, Jiang Bier, and Xu Li's younger brother were all conferred. Stay at the White Horse Temple and return to Luoyang. With the decree of the next day, the family members of the concubines of the East Palace were canonized.

The minister was puzzled. The dictatorship of the harem, the interference of foreign relatives in politics, and the control of eunuchs are several major ills of politics. But it is undeniable that before every emperor takes power, relatives will play an important role, and what is more reliable than his wife and family? The relatives of the East Palace are not simple, there are the Zheng family, the Pei family, and the Wei family. However, the emperor never used this force.

Why did the Queen Mother canonize in reverse? Could it be that the Queen Mother and the Emperor have taken a turn for the better?

Just when everyone was speculating, several prime ministers were summoned into Shangyang Palace.

Zhang Qianmiao was definitely going to be replaced, and Wu Zetian asked who was suitable in the purple curtain.

The scale of the prime minister is not as good as before, Pei Yan, Xue Yuanchao, Liu Jingxian, Wei Xuantong, Guo Zhengyi, Guo Zhiju, Cen Changqian, plus Liu Renliang of Xijing. There are a lot of them, but except for Liu Renliang and Pei Yan, they are all insignificant little people.

Wei Xuantong said honestly: "It is easy to find manpower, without him, Cheng Wuting will go forward, which is enough to deal with the situation in the north and ensure that it will not be eroded." ”

Before he could finish speaking, Pei Yan raised his tooth wat and stood up, saying, "The minister thinks it's inappropriate." Cheng Wuting had a bad relationship with the Turks, and going there may not be any effect. But there is one candidate, and it is best to go forward. ”

"Oh, who is it?"

"Black teeth are common."

"No, the Tubo people are ambitious, and they have not attacked Hehuang Jiuqu on a large scale because of the Black Tooth General. If the black tooth Changzhi is transferred, the situation in Qinghai will be eroded again, and the gains will outweigh the losses. Moreover, Qinghai has removed more than 500,000 Chinese atomic people, and various revolutions have yielded results. Last year's Guanzhong disaster, Qinghai contributed a lot. This is an important area that the imperial court cannot afford to lose. Guo Zhengyi immediately stopped.

Wu Zetian flashed a trace of coldness in his eyes behind the curtain.

This Guo Zhengyi doesn't know each other very much, if he hadn't been promoted by himself and his husband, why would it be his turn to be the prime minister?

But there was no sound.

Pei Yan retorted: "It's wrong. Tubo is not afraid of the black tooth, and I believe that the black tooth general will not be more heroic than Xue Rengui. Back then, Xue Rengui went to Dafeichuan, and Tubo dared to go to war. There has been no large-scale battle, it is the new death of Zampu, the endless domestic strife, and because of the small national strength, the army has been deposed many times, resulting in the people's misery and has not recovered. That's why they didn't dare to invade Qinghai on a large scale. Besides, Qinghai has arranged a tight defensive line, which is far from the past. ”

He can say this and that. No, it sounds reasonable.

He also said: "Besides, does Qinghai have to be stationed for a lifetime? The imperial court could make such an arrangement, with Li Xiaoyi as the governor of Shanzhou, Wang Guo as the governor of Douzhou, and Lou Shide as the governor of Songzhou. It can ensure the safety of Qinghai. ”

Wang Guo did not receive Li Wei's favor, but he was a close confidant of Wu Zetian. It is difficult to say whether Li Xiaoyi is Wu Zetian's person or not. Lou Shide has a soft personality, that's it, and he was transferred from Shanzhou to the unfamiliar Songzhou. Guo Zhengyi couldn't help but look at Pei Yan suspiciously, could this person really be a hypocrite, shook his head and said, "No." ”

Wu Zetian spoke behind the curtain: "That's it." ”

Let several prime ministers step down, and let Shangguan Wan'er personally draft the edict. Then he picked another man to give the order. Lee Shou Sung. He has been to Qinghai, is familiar with the soldiers, and once walked very "closely" with his son, which will not arouse the disgust of the Qinghai soldiers.

The erosion in the north allowed Wu Zetian to find a wedge machine and snatch back Li Wei's sharpest knife.
