Guan Wan'er hesitated for a moment and said, "What joy?" ”

I was thinking in my heart, I was scared to death, and I was happy!

"Wan'er, you've been in the Yang Palace for a long time, has the Queen Mother reproached you?"

Guan Wan'er shook her head, she had been in the Yang Palace for more than a month, and many things had happened during this time that made the Queen Mother unhappy, but the Queen Mother had never been angry with her. His eyes lit up. Yeqi Mingyue didn't understand yet, and asked: "Concubine Wade, the Queen Mother will not blame Wanyi every day." And why is there joy? ”

"Ye Ci is talented, the reason is very simple, why are you angry with Wanyi, it is because Your Majesty has done something that makes the Queen Mother very uncomfortable, so the Queen Mother is angry with Wanyi. And this matter will be very tricky, so she asked Wan'er to play a quiet song to calm her heart. ”

Yeqi Mingyue still doesn't understand.

After coming to the East Palace, life has changed for the better, but I feel that the East Palace is like a completely different world, only the people who live in it, whether it is a concubine or a eunuch and palace maid, they are thinking about countless thoughts every day. Fortunately, a group of people protected him, otherwise he wouldn't know how to live in the East Palace.

But I also have to thank Li Wei's average system, besides, she is just a party member, and no matter how much she fights in the harem, she can't fight for her head. Just like Di Cong and Di Hao, can they still become queens? Some people understand, some people don't.

Wei Yue continued proudly: "Although the Queen Mother is fearful, under normal circumstances, she is also reasonable. She suddenly asked Wan'er to play the piano, and suddenly became angry, she must have been angry by some news from His Majesty. But why did you let Wan'er go in the end? ”

Zheng Gongchu and Di Hao also understood. The queen mother has a very strong personality, if she is angry with Wan'er, why did she really ask Qin, and she appreciated Wan'er's talent again and didn't punish her?

"Talented, don't you understand? It was His Majesty who had something in his hands, and the Queen Mother was afraid. Qin, listening to Wan'er talk about Qin, took advantage of this to find a step down, so Wan'er was not pursued. Isn't this a happy event? ”

Explain it like this, and you will understand it all.

Since last year, there has been a small amount of unfavorable news for the emperor. first used Zhang Qianxun and Cheng Wuting to override Pei Xingjian's merits and military power. Then Liu Renliang got Chang'an. Then His Majesty went away, Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong used ambiguity and degraded themselves from the court on the charge of not being dedicated to state affairs. Then Li Yi talked about the prime minister.

A series of changes, as if the sky had fallen.

Di Cong also said: "I remember, Wan'er didn't go to the Yang Palace, the Queen Mother called us all to the White Horse Temple to make incense, and then Wan'er went to the Yang Palace." Then I heard that the imperial court had sent someone to Qinghai to bring back the black tooth Changzhi. Is it related to this? ”

"yes, what about that? It is possible that the army in Qinghai will also be controlled by the Queen Mother. ”

"Are you saying that Your Majesty also arrived in Qinghai, and the Queen Mother's plan did not succeed?"

"That's about it, and His Majesty did something to warn the Queen Mother, which made the Queen Mother feel scared."

"Concubine Wade, it's not that simple, since the Queen Mother has Yaxing to ask the qin, she is not only looking for the bottom of the stairs, but also thinking about it, and feels that it can be resolved. Otherwise, if she really wants to punish Wan'er, how can she be afraid of Your Majesty? ”

Speaking of which, Wan'er's status is too low, and she was born as a palace maid with a crime. is not like Wei Yue, Zheng Gongchu and Pei Yuhe, who have a good background. Even if Yang Min and Xu Li are born, they are far higher than Guan Wan'er. Although Wanyi was promoted, the Queen Mother killed Wan'er, Li Wei could only be unhappy and couldn't make a fuss about it.

The East Palace was speculating, but one thing was certain, the Queen Mother wanted to attack the Qinghai army, but she definitely didn't succeed.

guessed that it was also ** not far from ten.

Wu Zetian had a headache.

looked at the fold, thought about it for a long time, passed Cheng Wuting and Pei Yan in, and handed the fold to the two. first looked at Cheng Wuting, and then talked about the affairs of the court, mainly the army in Qinghai, Wu Zetian was very afraid that his son would use more brutal methods to solve himself.

Cheng Wuting thought about it, he paid for it very much, but thinking of the black tooth Changzhi, as well as the command ability of some generals in the Western Regions of Qinghai, he is a hero, but a hero is difficult to defeat the four hands, there are many famous generals in Qinghai and the Western Regions, and the soldiers are far stronger than the soldiers in the Central Plains. If you really fight, you may not be an opponent.

After thinking for a while, he said: "There are only a few avenues from Chang'an to Jiannan and Longyou, and each one has a towering pass. Each level is very easy to defend and difficult to attack. The minister thought that as long as there were 1,000 soldiers to 2,000 soldiers guarded at each level, the imperial treasury would be full in recent years, and some money would be used to reward the soldiers, and then some officials would be awarded to give the soldiers motivation. Then add the level to guard, and there will be no loss in the pass. ”

Cheng Wuting refers to the 26 passes of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty set up 26 passes, including Jingzhaofu Lantian Pass, Huazhou Tongguan, Tongzhou Pujin Pass, Qizhou Sanguan, Longzhou Dazhen Pass, Yuanzhou Longshan Pass six passes, Jingzhaofu Meridian, Luogu, Kugu, Tongzhou Longmen, Huizhou Huining, Yuanzhou Muxia, Shimen Mengzhou, Lanzhou Hehe Xilan County, Yazhou Qionglai Sichuan Yingjing, Pengzhou Silkworm Cliff Sichuan Peng County, Anxi Tiemen Xinjiang Turpan, Xingzhou Xingcheng, Weijin Shaanxi Hanzhong Luoyang thirteen Zhongguan, Liangzhou Ganting, Baigao Gansu Weiwu, Hezhou Fenglin Gansu Daohe, Lizhou Shimen Sichuan Pingwu, Yanzhou, Yonghe, Yan'an, Shaanxi, Songling, Mianyang, Sichuan, Fangzhou, Fu, Sichuan, Pingwu, seven Xiaguan.

Except for a few checkpoints that are important roads in the Gongwei frontier, most of them surround near Chang'an, only leading to the avenue of Chang'an City to the outside world, and each of them is in a dangerous place, setting up a checkpoint. For example, there are three passes leading to Jiannan and Longyou, there are three passes of Sanguan and Dazhen Pass, Longzhou Pass, Meridian Pass, Luogu Pass, Kugu Pass, Muxia Pass, Shimen Pass, Xingcheng Pass, Weijin Pass, Shimen Pass and other middle and lower passes, as well as the Ganting Pass, Baijiao Pass and Huining Pass in Huizhou in the 21 states mentioned by Li Wei. In addition to these important passes, there are also some geographically important ferries, called Jin, which also have some guards.

These passes are inconvenient to live in, the terrain is treacherous, and they are built very tall, and almost every pass can be described as the iron wall of Jincheng. As long as these checkpoints are held, the Qinghai army will not be able to threaten the safety of Guanzhong and Luoyang. Even after conquering Chang'an, you can calmly build a second line of defense in Tongguan, Lantian Pass, Pujin Pass, etc.

But it is not possible to have soldiers, so Cheng Wuting said that he used officials and money to win over the soldiers to offset the influence of the emperor's position in the hearts of the soldiers.

This is not a good way either.

It seems so, but since ancient times, wars have been won by famous generals, morale and people's will, and no one has ever stopped the pace of defeat because the level is treacherous. The existence of these important levels can only be said to play a small auxiliary and delaying role, which can win some time to deploy troops.

Buried, and there are siege towers!

However, the siege tower appeared in Khorasan, and the Tang Dynasty did not know about it.

Pei Yan also said: "General Cheng is right, in addition, in order to prevent Qinghai from being strong and weak, reduce the supply of some powerful equipment, such as large trebuchets, crashes, and gunpowder. ”

"It's not good, the West is still at war."

"Queen Mother, the West is at war, and a lot of supplies have been transported some time ago, which is enough to sustain it. The West is the skin of the country, and if there is no flesh and blood, how can it come from? Your Majesty has also said that the state should not covet its own borders. It is not for the ...... It's a buuh...... Also. ”

The emperor did not go to fight for the country, but used this excuse to seize military power.

For military affairs, Wu Zetian and Pei Yan don't understand it, and Cheng Wuting's arrangement really worked. When the real son didn't care about the lives of tens of millions of soldiers in order to return to Luoyang to seize power? This is a big problem in my heart, and my thoughts are clear.

Pei Yan said again: "Although the soldiers are in danger of being outside, the king's order is not granted. However, His Majesty never wrote a memora to report the situation to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and the court wanted to use generals, but did not allow the court to use generals, but instead killed and expelled state officials, which is also not in line with the state system. The minister will be impeached tomorrow at the political party meeting, and His Majesty cannot be allowed to set a bad precedent. ”

"Okay, let's do it." Wu Zetian waved his hand and told them to retreat.

The next day, the ministers of the government hall deliberated.

Since Li was seriously ill, the country has not had an early dynasty for a long time, and all political affairs are decided in the political affairs hall.

Pei Yan preemptively brought up the matter.

Pei Yan and Wu Zetian didn't want to kill Li Wei, the idea of fighting the Qinghai army was true. Li Wei said that the harm was his military action. So Pei Yan also used this to find a topic. Since your strategy is your military operation, have you reported it to the imperial court? If you don't report it, how do we know the situation in the West?

Although you are the emperor, the empress dowager and the empress dowager are still in the world, and they are still in charge of military affairs, why don't you report to the court for such a big military action? Even if you are the emperor, you have to say it to the political hall, which is also the system of the state.

Besides, you are the emperor, and if you want to kill a general from the third grade, you must also make a statement to the political affairs hall, and you can't kill it if you say kill. Do you want to be a widow?

Several prime ministers were stunned, such a big thing happened?

Spread immediately, in fact, no matter how Pei Yan explained, many people understood that the Queen Mother repeatedly attacked the emperor, and finally made up her mind to hit the Qinghai army, but she was not successful. The emperor made a decisive counterattack in Qinghai.

The East Palace also heard it, and Wei Yue jumped up happily.

The other ladies smiled as well.

They listened to Li Wei's words in the East Palace and didn't dare to do much. But it doesn't mean that they don't care about the political situation, and the development of the political situation is too unfavorable for the emperor. This time, the emperor did a beautiful counterattack in Qinghai, not only controlling the hundreds of thousands of troops in Qinghai, but also playing a warning role.

Pei Yuhe was also very excited, and said in a trembling voice: "Let the dining room prepare the golden mountain and jade perch." ”

A sashimi dish.

The northerners of the Tang Dynasty liked to eat mutton and beef, and fish was an inferior dish, but it was very popular in the south. Li Wei likes to eat fish very much, the fish meat is good, there are many vitamins, more protein, compared with the meat of livestock, there is less fat, and after eating, he will grow his intelligence and body. Don't let me eat yellow food, at least let me eat fish.

Fish eating is becoming popular in the East Palace.

Golden mountain perch is one of the most famous dishes. Jinluan refers to the seasoning made of eight kinds of seasonings: garlic, ginger, orange, white plum, cooked corn, japonica rice, salt, and sauce.

Jade perch refers to the color of the dish made by using finely chopped shredded sea bass and Gong Bao vegetables, and marinated with seasonings, the sea bass fillets are bright white like jade, and the Gong vegetables are tender and yellow like gold. That's why this dish is called Jinluan Jade Perch. According to legend, Yang Guang went to Jiangdu...... The local officials offered this dish, so that Yang Guang was delicious in the south of the Yangtze River.

Luoyang does not produce sea bass, but it can be replaced by the Yellow River carp.

Because of the difficulty of ingredients, Donggong is not often eaten. Sashimi dishes are not only this dish, there are many kinds, so that Li Weicai to the Tang Dynasty, very surprised, it turns out that the so-called quintessence of the later Wei Kingdom, tea ceremony, kendo, flower arrangement, katana, tatami including sushi, all are copycat Chinese culture and craftsmanship.

The East Palace held a small celebration, and the matter also spread to the Yang Palace.

Li Zhi was also surprised, and pondered again.

After a while, the eunuch called Wu Zetian and asked, "Queen Mother, what happened in Qinghai?" ”

"The concubines don't know", Wu Zetian sobbed and said sadly: "Your Majesty, it was our idea to let Wang Guo go to Qinghai at the beginning. But Hong'er deliberately didn't let us step down. ”

From the minister's standpoint, the minister didn't want a king to kill the minister unscrupulously, so Pei Yan caught Li Wei killing Wang Guo to make a fuss. But from Li Zhi's point of view, it doesn't matter whether a prison general lives or dies, so Wu Zetian said that when Wang Guo was ordered to go to Qinghai, the two of us agreed.

Li Zhi was speechless. Let Wu Zetian prevaricate.

Because Wu Zetian preemptively struck, the people of Luoyang have a mainstream saying. The Queen Mother had bad ambitions, but the emperor, as Emperor Ren, overreacted.

In short, Li Wei's hand is very beautiful, but there is an omission in the details. We should not let Li Shoucheng go first, but send someone to clarify the matter first, and then release Li Shoucheng back. Then the effect is better.

It was under this kind of canon that Zheng Daoheng arrived in Luoyang. Hearing the rumors in Luoyang, he frowned and did not visit the three prime ministers, but first visited Pei Xingjian, who was sick.

As Wu Lu said, Li Wei gathered a group of good men. Wu Zetian and Li Zhi's appointment of Pei Xingjian was the most unfair, and so many prime ministers were allocated, but Pei Xingjian was not promoted as prime minister. Like Guo Zhengyi and Wei Xuantong, their talents are good, but they are far inferior to Pei Xingjian's merits, qualifications and talents. And in Pei Xingjian's later years, in order to exclude him, he poured a basin of dirty water on him, saying that he was greedy for the merits of his subordinates. So Zheng Daoheng didn't know what was going on in the capital, so he was the first to visit Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian listened to Zheng Daoheng's intentions, and said a few words simply: "Don't visit these three prime ministers first, although they have good character, they lack power, they have no prestige and wisdom when they speak, and they are easy to be deceived by others." You are the Zheng family, you can gather some literary talents, do a party, and explain a few things first. The Queen Mother did a good job and counterattacked in a timely manner, but Cheng Wuting and Pei Yan overdid it. The rewards were unfair, and the generals of Qinghai made many military exploits, but the imperial court did not have any rewards. Many of the generals in Hebei have been defeated, but the queen mother rewarded the officials and knights in order to win over. Especially the soldiers sent to several levels, there is no inch of merit, why are they also rewarded? One of them, too. The family is peaceful, and the checkpoints have not sent heavy troops for a long time, who is this to prevent? Since ancient times, I have never heard of those who sent troops to defend against the emperor, don't they want the emperor to return? Or will the emperor not be allowed to lead the army back, so that he can only return to the eastern capital alone, so that he can be captured alive? Is there such a statement? ”

He took a breath and continued: "Many people say that the morale of the soldiers of the Yulin Army has fallen, and they have long lost Taizong's intention of selecting the Yulin Army. The Yulin army was not convinced, but now, for the sake of some fame and fortune, they did not dare to fight on the front line, but ran to various checkpoints to prevent the emperor from coming back. This is how the meritorious sons repay His Majesty and the society in this way? Pei Yan said many times that His Majesty did not report to the court. Tubo sent troops, and His Majesty wanted to come by surprise. However, Pei Yan is open to the world, so how dare the emperor show the court? Have you ever betrayed news to Tibet before? ”

"yes." Zheng Daoheng stroked his hands and sighed.

Sure enough, he is the emperor's most important talent, and just these few words make people stunned.

"Also, the emperor's statement is that Tubo sent troops, and the two sides attacked, and the queen mother attacked the Qinghai generals again, the emperor was in danger, and the good situation in the west was erosive. The Queen Mother didn't expect this result and didn't want to. So Pei Yan made a big fuss and released the news. As long as Tubo does not send troops, then there is a reason to fight back against the emperor, saying that the emperor is deliberately making excuses to kill ministers indiscriminately. But they were wrong. By the time the news reached the ears of the Confon Qinling, the army of the Confon Chin Ling had already arrived in the Western Regions. Summer is conducive to the Great Food Army, and if Qinling does not fight in the autumn, will it be impossible to wait until the Winter Great Food Army withdraws, and the lone army will not be able to invade the Western Regions? All I had to wait for was to finish cutting the wheat by Tuyuhun, and Tuyuhun had enough food to take precautions. Then you can use troops against the Western Regions. It's speculation, but there's one ...... She has come to Qinghai, and Qinling will inevitably send troops. Pei Yan was vicious with his intentions, but it was too late. The scale of this battle is not small, Dashi and Tubo are the world's top powerhouses. Pei Yan and Cheng Wuting actually ordered not to provide weapons and equipment to the Western Regions. It also accepted their idea of wanting to murder the emperor. With these five, it is enough, go. ”

It's enough, Zheng Daoheng was impressed by Pei Xingjian's wisdom, and lay deep on the ground, for a long time, then he stood up, looked at Pei Xingjian lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and left. To be continued
