Chapter 118: Asking the Qin (Part II)

Li Wei's sudden return to Qinghai caused Wu Zetian to run into great trouble.

Not only this matter, but before Wu Zetian got Li Shoucheng's report, something happened that gave Wu Zetian a headache.

The weather was unusual, and it was raining heavily. The Huangmei sky is out of the south of the Yangtze River in the sixth month, and Henan is still falling. In July, the scorching sun is shining in the south of the Yangtze River, and Henan is still falling. However, it is sunny and cloudy, and the disaster is not as good as last year. But the heavy rain kept falling, causing the Yellow River to swell.

By July 20, the Mengzhou River embankment broke.

The Yellow River in the Sui and Tang dynasties was not like the Yellow River in the later period, and it was common for banks to burst. In the Han Dynasty, it was also common for the Yellow River to burst its banks, and later it was possible to go through many large water conservancy projects, and after the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Yellow River was very gentle. Sometimes there are floods in Luoshui, but there are no large-scale floods in the Yellow River. This has also led to prosperity on both sides of the Yellow River, especially in the lower reaches of the river, such as Hebei and Shandong prefectures, where the population has increased dramatically.

In the Tang Dynasty, including this time, there were only three dike bursts. In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Mengzhou and Shaanzhou burst their embankments. In the sixth year of Yonghui, Qizhou burst the embankment. The scale is also not large. Then this year, it broke the embankment in Mengzhou, and the water rolled down, instantly submerging the city of Mengzhou, the water was five feet deep, and all the houses and huts were washed away.

Fortunately, although Li Zhi became more and more mediocre in his later years, he was not evil to the people. Wu Zetian doesn't have any good thoughts about the essence of the common people, otherwise she wouldn't have squandered it after she ascended the throne. But it is not bad for the people.

Against this background, Mengzhou officials rescued in a timely manner and did not drown many people.

Individually, it's nothing. It can be troublesome to tie together what happened before and after.

What happened after a meditation consecration? The defeat of Dafeichuan has caused disasters for many years. What happened after this consecration? The north is tight, and there is a great drought in Guanzhong. A little better, by the end of this year, the embankment in Mengzhou burst. It doesn't matter if Mengzhou bursts the embankment, it is near Luoyang, which is particularly eye-catching.

After seeing Mengzhou's performance, Wu Zetian called Su Wei to the Yang Palace.

As for the apostasy, this is another apostatous minister. His humanistic talent is very good, Pei Xingjian loves his talent, and he is recommended as a manager of the Turkic expedition twice. When Pei Yuhe's father, Pei Judao, made a thank you form, he specially asked him to write a thank you form, and Su Wei made it on the spot, which was spread all over the world. No matter how you say it, he is a faction of ministers who have fallen into force. But Wu Zetian only gave him the position of a foreigner, and he brought Su Wei over.

handed the Mengzhou sheet to Su Wei.

Su Wei looked at it and was in trouble. But he quickly came up with an idea, didn't the Queen Mother say that she would take a break from the army to support the people? Brush and brush again! The words are beautifully written, and the article is also very well written, Wu Zetian nodded when he saw it.

After a while, the article was written. It is to the effect that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been too many soldiers. Taizong said that horses can win the world, but they can't rule the world with horses. Therefore, in his later years, he regretted going to Goryeo very much. In recent years, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo fought a bloody battle in Qinghai, and countless soldiers sacrificed. He also mobilized hundreds of thousands of horses and horses to conquer the Turks. Therefore, the day warned, the Guanzhong disaster, and the Mengzhou break. We must not take precautions, we should focus on resting and recuperating, caring for the people, and not opening up the border.

It has nothing to do with Feng Chan, but it is the fault of the emperor on the battlefield.

Guan Wan'er stood on the side and watched, her eyes were sharp, and after reading it, her pretty face turned white, and she wanted to lift her little foot and kick so this little white face.

Wu Zetian was very happy, took it out, and awarded it to the world.

We don't want to fight, and most of the people don't want to fight. As for the people of the border states, what about him. Most of the people support it, which is what Wu Zetian values.

At this time, the news of Qinghai also reached Luoyang.

Li Shoucheng hurried out of the territory under the jurisdiction of Qinghai and breathed a sigh of relief. But he was also old, running around, and couldn't run, so he used his authority to mobilize fast horses in Weizhou and inform Wu Zetian of the situation first.

After Wu Zetian finished reading it, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Li Wei thought wrong about Wu Zetian's heart, she didn't have the idea of abolishing Li Wei, it was difficult for the crown prince to abolish it, and he was already the emperor. I didn't want to kill Li Wei, after all, he was his own son, and he had shown favor to himself many times before, not like the second son who was hateful and the third son who was a fool.

She wants to be a powerful queen mother. Otherwise, don't worry, there are many ministers who hate her, and most of these ministers are her son's henchmen, such as Liu Renliang and Pei Xingjian. Guan Jian has really come to that point, will she keep this idea?

This incident happened in Qinghai, what do the people think? Believing in yourself, believing in your own son? Needless to say, he must believe in his son. He has just issued an edict himself, using the Yellow River to burst the embankment to make a fuss, making this embankment particularly eye-catching. Perhaps, on the other hand, they will lift a stone to shoot themselves in the foot, and some people will make their own articles about the breaking of the embankment.

And that's not all.

The son beheaded Wang Guo and sent 200 guards, including some middle and low-level Yulin army generals in the middle, to Nishapur City. When did the Tang Dynasty send prisoners to southern Khorasan, Persia? is not only to show his martial arts, but also to warn the ministers, to declare his prestige to himself, and to show his sword!

When I think of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Qinghai who can fight well, as well as the millions and nearly 10 million people in the Western Regions, Hezhong and Tocharian who are very likely to be subdued by his son, I will think of the overwhelming army, like a plague of locusts, densely coming from the west.

The son is not a minister, and no matter how many soldiers there are, he can deal with it. He is the emperor, that is, he leads an army of a million, and where he passes, who dares to stop him? The husband lives in the world, and he doesn't dare to stop him!

Self-defeating.

What to do?

She seemed to be able to see in the western sky, there were countless big flags flying towards the east with the side of the Qing monarch.

Pacing around.

Guan Wan'er walked in, just saw this scene, and asked flatteringly, "Queen Mother, what's wrong?" ”

What to do? Accompany each other every day, live like walking on thin ice, and can only greet each other with a smile to avoid disaster.

Seeing Guan Wan'er, Wu Zetian thought of one thing, his son attaches great importance to several wives and concubines, isn't he afraid that he will do it to several women? But with a shake of the head, it can't be. Don't dare to do it yourself, as long as you do it, the last fig leaf will be torn. He didn't dare to do anything to himself, but he dared to claustrophobic himself. I believe that many ministers will also see him do so. killed Pei Yan and several others, and as soon as her husband died, she stayed in the cold palace.

In a troubled mood, he said: "Wan'er, play a tune for this palace, be quiet." ”

Guan Wan'er took the guqin and played a song "Qianxi". It was learned from Di Hui, and it belongs to a song in "Qing Shang Le", composed by Shen Chong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Unlike "Flowing Water", which also uses piano sounds to explain water, "Flowing Water" is lively and changeable, and the rhythm is bright. "Clear Creek" is very quiet.

However, the songs in the Qing Shang music are all relics of the Southern Dynasty, most of them are quiet and elegant, and many of the songs are light to the point of misery. Except for a few people with a quiet personality, most people in the Tang Dynasty did not like Qing Shangle.

But Wu Zetian wanted to listen to a quiet tune, and at this time there was no "Spring Flower River Moonlit Night", let alone using bagpipes to blow "The Wind from the South", so he had to play "Qianxi".

Wu Zetian had a difficult life when he was a child, and he only knew a few numbers. Most of the knowledge was learned after entering the palace. However, her super IQ, although she learned late, improved quickly. After a few years, not only is he well-learned, but he can also write well. But a person's energy is limited. After being favored, I intrigue all day long, and I don't have time to study anymore. Therefore, the poem can only be said to be so-so, not as good as Guan Wan'er. I don't play the piano very well. It doesn't stop her from listening.

After listening to it for a while, Sen said coldly: "Why do you play such a beautiful sound? ”

Ancestor, this is what you requested, and "Qianxi" must not be regarded as a glamorous sound. But Guan Wan'er is very shrewd and can't lift the bar, Wu Zetian said that the sun is square, that is, square. replied calmly: "Empress Dowager, the piano must be played like this." This is an ancient example. ”

"Ancient examples? Tell Hongu about it. ”

"The piano is the first of all music, it is given by heaven to the world, descending the essence of the five stars, flying down the sycamore, and then the phoenix emperor comes to the ceremony, showing it to Fuxi. So Fu Xi knew that the sycamore was a good material in the tree, which made people cut it down. I also saw that the tree was three feet high and three feet high, and was divided into three sections according to the number of thirty-three days, and was divided into three talents: heaven, earth, and man. Take the section is light, take the next section is too heavy, so take the middle section, send it to the long flowing water, soak it for 72 days, according to the number of 72 waits, take the shade dry, and the Yaoqin is formed. ”

"Even so, I don't have to play this cold note. The palace heard that Wu made Ji Zha hire in Lu, for the song "Zhou Nan" and "Zhao Nan", Ji Zha said beautiful, the foundation. For the songs "Ye" and "Fu", it is said to be beautiful and deep. For the song "King", it is said to be beautiful, and he is not afraid to think. For the song "Qi", it is said to be beautiful, and it is windy. It can be seen that in ancient times, the piano style was mostly excited. ”

Guan Wan'er was even more dizzy, you didn't let me play an exciting song just now. I had to say: "Queen Mother, listen to the concubine finish speaking." When Fuxi made the piano, there was a very strict standard, the length must be three feet six inches and one minute, and the three hundred and sixty-one degrees of the Zhou Tian were very remarkable, and the people at that time knew that there were three hundred and sixty-one days in a year, which was very standard. According to eight sections, so the front is eight inches wide. Press four, the back is four inches wide. Press two instruments, two inches thick. According to the yin and yang of human ethics, heaven rewards and four nobles, there are golden boy heads, jade girl waists, fairy backs, dragon pools, phoenix swamps, jade Zhen, and gold emblems. According to December, the emblem has twelve. According to the leap month, there is another Chinese emblem. The five strings are in, which means that the outside is pressed by the five elements, and the inside is pressed by the five notes. Yao Shun sings the south wind, and the world is governed. Later, because King Wen was imprisoned in Xianli, the hanging son Boyi added a string, which was quiet and anxious, and was called Wen Xian. After the king of martial arts, before the song and after the dance, add a string, fiercely carry forward, called the martial string, the string of the five elements and five singles, so it is called the seven-stringed piano. Queen Mother, although my dynasty is big and inclusive of all countries, so there is a lot of Hu music, but the piano is the root of music. ”

Guan Wan'er flickered, and Wu ZenaΓ―ve paid attention to it. I didn't expect this small piano to contain so many symbols. Another day, I have to let the musicians check whether this size is very standard and can't be laughed at by insiders.

Therefore, when playing the yaoqin, you must be very cautious. There are six taboos and seven do not play, one taboo is cold, two taboos are heat, three taboos are strong winds, four taboos are heavy rain, five taboos are thunderstorms, and six taboos are heavy snow. Those who hear the mourning do not play, do not play music, do not play redundant, do not play if they do not clean their bodies, do not play if they are not neatly dressed, do not play if they do not burn incense, and do not play if they do not meet bosom friends. There are also eight uniques, clear, strange, secluded, elegant, sad, strong, long, long. If the piano technique is played to a wonderful place, the howling tiger hears but does not roar, and the mourning ape listens but does not cry. Clear, quiet, elegant, and sad, it is also the four unique sounds of the piano. Just now, the queen mother asked the concubine to play a quiet tune, and the concubine played this song "Qianxi", which is known for its tranquility, which is in line with Wang Le's purpose. It's just that the concubine doesn't play well. Some people also say that the music of the Southern Dynasty is the sound of the country, so they don't like the sound of Qingyin, which is a wrong idea. The joy of the Southern Dynasty is either clear or cold, strange or wanton, not secluded but lonely, not elegant but indulgent, not sad but resentful, not strong but Qi, not leisurely but bitter, not long but relentless. Therefore, it is the voice of the dead country. But some songs, because the Jin Dynasty moved south, brought a lot of ancient songs. These ancient songs are still good, and they also get the authentic flavor of the ancients. The queen mother, forgive the concubines and concubines for daring to say a word, today's people like nonsense. Are these Hu Le gifts from heaven? Can these Hu songs praise the sound of Chinese elegance? ”

"Listening to you, there are three points of truth. Come on, spread the intention to the Propaganda Department, let them collect Yazheng's "Qing Shang Le" and record it in the book. "We are a dignified and upright Chinese, a noble Han Chinese, and we can't make people laugh at us.

Only then did she let Guan Wan'er go.

After getting off duty, Guan Wan'er left the Yang Palace with a cold sweat, and at the moment when the Queen Mother was angry, she obviously saw the murderous aura in Wu Zetian's eyes.

When she came to the East Palace, she saw the ladies waiting for her, and she fell on the table and wept.

"What's wrong?" Pei Yuhe asked with concern.

"Empress Pei, I don't want to go to the Yang Palace." Freak out.

"What's going on?" The girls immediately became worried, especially Di Hui, when the emperor was leaving, but repeatedly instructed that the East Palace was handed over to her.

As soon as Guan Wan'er told her what had happened, Wei Yue suddenly said happily, "I'm happy." "To be continued
