The sound of firecrackers in the whole city of Luoyang can be heard even in the palace

bu

For the sake of secrecy, the recipe is mixed with some messy useless things. It is louder than the sound of burning bamboo, but compared to the firecrackers of later generations, the sound is still very dull. If you are in a good mood, you will listen to it lively, and if you are in a bad mood, you will feel upset when you listen to it.

Wu Zetian couldn't help but scold: "Are these Diao people crazy? ”[]

"Queen Mother, today is the Shangsi Festival."

"Li Shoucheng, should you also mourn the old family!"

The maid didn't dare. ”

"Don't be too naïve, this unfilial son won't do anything to me, the intention of doing this is to be ready to have an excuse to cut off all the people around me. Including my nephews, my close ministers, and you slaves! ”

"Yes."

"Forget it, you go and call the prime ministers and think twice." The heart is also messed up, see if these prime ministers have a good plan. There are many people and many ideas.

"Whoa."

Several prime ministers brought them up again.

In just one afternoon, the prime minister was changed again, replaced by Wu Chengsi, Zhai Wei, Wang Dezhen, String Waiting, Pei Judao, and Liu Siezhi. There is also a Wu Sansi who bows his head and ponders.

Wu Zetian glanced at everyone, Pei Judao didn't think about it, he was his son's father-in-law, Wu Chenghei and Wang Dezhen had limited talents, and they were not to do things, but to protect their rights. Once the rights are stabilized, Wang Dezhen will inevitably be abolished.

Can Wang De really be abolished? He knows too much of Wu Zetian's secrets, he can only advance but not retreat, and once he retreats, Wu Zetian will inevitably kill him in order not to leak too much inside information. I didn't have the wisdom to think about it, and I was still meditating hard for Wu Zetian, but I couldn't think of a good way. Wu Chengsi was the same, Wu Zetian didn't ask again as soon as he saw their expressions.

Wei Zhisqueeze is the same, obedient, and has been on the battlefield in Qinghai again, he was promoted for the future, to grasp the country's military power, and the military power is in the hands of Cheng Wuting and others, Wu Zetian is not at ease.

So he stared at Wu Sansi, Zhai Wei and Liu Sizhi with his eyes. But she didn't come up with a solution, and the three of them.

After being silent for a long time, Wu Zetian said to Liu Lu: "Liu Qing, what do you think?" ”

One is that Liu Hanzhi is talented, the second is his confidant, and the third is that he has a great favor to him, and he has never had anything, so he was promoted to the bachelor of the North Gate, and then to the prime minister. You should work for me.

Liu Jizhi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is safe and sound, and it is inevitable to return to the country. ”

Wu Zetian also had to nod.

Originally, there was no intention not to let him be in charge, but in the distribution of power, he wanted to force his son to make some concessions. It's just that this son is very hateful, deliberately pretending to be dead, deliberately giving himself the opportunity to control power, so that he can do some radical things, make the people dissatisfied, and lose morality.

"Go on."

With Wu Zetian's encouragement, Liu Sizhi became bold and continued: "But the crown prince must come down. We are a country in the Central Plains, and our sons inherit our father's business, not the barbarians on the grassland, and our younger brothers inherit our brothers' business. Besides, because of the matter of King Luling, the crown prince is directly locked up in the deep palace, and the public opinion of the outside world is not very good. ”

"Liu Xuzhi, you have something to say," Wu Chengsi said dissatisfiedly.

"Zhou Guogong, I am seeking truth from facts."

"Liu Mianzhi, your conscience let the dog eat." Wu Chengsi used to be high-flying and domineering, but today he is deflated again and again, and foul words have come out.

quarreled again, Wu Zetian said unhappily: "Stand down." ”

Kicked out the prime ministers again.

Then his face darkened. Liu Mianzhi's words are a very bad sign. Wu Chengsi didn't see it, but he knew it. At the beginning, he pulled the third child out of power and helped the fourth child to take the position, with the help of two people, one is Pei Yan and the other is Liu Yizhi. He was very close to the fourth child, and the fourth child once regarded him as a teacher. He was afraid that the fourth child would make trouble in the court and control him in the deep palace, and Liu Mian's heart was out of shape. It's for friendship, but it's also for power. originally thought that by supporting the fourth child, he would be able to come to the dragon gate with a carp.

Don't you know that the right is given to you by this palace?

The eldest son doesn't appear, they are all very well-behaved, and when they appear, they are not honest.

If it doesn't work like this, the eldest son still doesn't know where it is, and it is possible that some officials in the capital are bold enough to do the following things and imprison themselves. Don't say no, there aren't too many similar things in the history books.

I really want to rebel one by one. She may be able to tolerate Qiu Renjie and Zhu Jingze, and she may be able to tolerate Su Liangsi and Kuanfang, but she must not tolerate Liu Mianzhi. This is called rebellion, I have worked hard, and I dare to raise a silent poisonous snake.

called Zhou Xing over and said, "Zhou Shilang, what happened on the Tianjin Bridge today, the mourning family heard about it. ”

"Queen Mother" Zhou Xing cried, especially people like him, who were the most afraid of death.

"It's okay, the mourning family can keep you safe."

Thank you to the Queen Mother. ”

Coax him and let him bite for the last time. He also said: "Zhou Shilang, someone secretly reported that Liu Sizhi supports the crown prince and intends to rebel, you go and check." ”

Zhou Xingxin will lead the meeting and lead the order. However, after this toss, Wu Zetian came to his senses.

It seems that it will not be possible to rely on these prime ministers, so you have to figure it out yourself. I thought of a person, Pei Yan. The person who really has the ability is still this person, and he also has appeal. It just so happened that he had not completely removed his position as prime minister, and the political affairs hall continued to stay in Zhongshu Province, and everyone retained a trace of affection.

And he himself has contradictions, far less than the contradictions between his son and him. When the son returns, he will surely die. So the first edict was issued, and Pei Yan returned to Luoyang quickly to preside over the overall situation. Luoyang must ensure a stable environment, and if you want to be stable, you must have a loyal Yulin army, so a second edict was issued, allowing Qiu Shendian to control the Yulin army officers and soldiers in Luoyang. Jiang Sizong and others assisted.

The soldiers in the western passes of Chang'an must also be stabilized, otherwise a big joke will appear today, and a third edict was issued, allocating one million money from the treasury to reward the soldiers from all walks of life, including the army in the north. Steadily win the hearts of the military.

It was still not enough, and then issued an edict to transfer Zhang Qianxun from the northern army and guard the west with Linghu Zhitong. These two generals, all of whom betrayed their sons, are inseparable from their sons, and they are guarded in the west to ensure that nothing happens. But one more thing came to mind, what if the cavalry told the truth and his son came back from the north? couldn't think of a strategy to resolve it, and she didn't understand the military, so she wrote a letter about what happened and handed it to Cheng Wuting, so that Cheng Wuting could judge it for himself.

After issuing these imperial defense measures, Wu Zetian's heart was slightly calmer. But it's not really a strategy yet.

At this time, Li Shoucheng walked in and whispered: "Empress Dowager, just now the East Palace sent the female official Liu Qun to Zhu Jingze's mansion. ”

"I can't help it so soon," Wu Zetian became angry again, and said, "Go, send someone to the East Palace, and beat this Liu Qun to death in the main palace." ”

"Queen Mother, no, you can't leave no room," Li Shoucheng was so anxious that he pulled up Wu Zetian's skirt sleeve, and said: "It doesn't matter if the Queen Mother kills her, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will come back, learn from the Queen Mother, and kill the slaves and maids." When the slaves die, they die, but there are loyal slaves and maids who serve the queen mother. ”

You can kill the eunuchs and palace maids in the East Palace, and the emperor can kill us when he comes back. No matter how great your skills are, without our group of subordinates doing things for you, you can be overridden by the emperor.

"Then you go and give her the order, and give her twenty lashes."

"Wow. Also, the Queen Mother, the slave maid has a suggestion. ”

"Say."

"Since Your Majesty issued an edict to pardon Qiu Renjie and Zhu Jingze, it is not very easy to move, so it is better for the Queen Mother to issue an edict to pardon their crimes. There are also family members of six families, and they will not find excuses for His Majesty in the future. ”

"Do you want the mourning family to surrender to their son?"

"Queen Mother, slaves don't dare, the times are different, Queen Mother, please think twice," Li Shoucheng knelt down in fright.

In fact, from beginning to end, he was dissatisfied with some of Wu Zetian's actions. Originally, Qinghai said well, everyone will cooperate in the future, and the emperor also promised to give some rights to the queen mother, that is, after being pro-government, he also reserved the opportunity for the queen mother to participate in politics. Wouldn't that be great? Why did the Queen Mother press step by step, and finally formed today's situation.

This is his idealization with Li Wei.

Since ancient times, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, how is it possible?

It is Wu Zetian's approach that is more realistic, but she suffers in her reputation, a female generation, Li Weini was fortunate to conquer Nanzhao, got military power and the art of war taught by Pei Xingjian, and controlled most of the army. Otherwise, it may not be known who killed the deer.

I don't believe in others, but I believe in this old eunuch Wu Zetian very much. After a long groan, he was directly pardoned, which was not very good. It will even make people think that they are afraid of their son, and they will bow their heads without a fight. If you are afraid, who dares to help you again?

After thinking for a while, he said: "You sent a decree to Yuan Wanqing, let him write an edict for the mourning family, and issue it to the world, Your Majesty is fortunate and safe." The mourning family will go to the White Horse Temple to give a ** meeting, thank God. In addition, amnesty to the world. ”

Now that the world is amnesty, Qiu Renjie and Zhu Jingze are fine. And their families have been able to return. He did not lose face, and he also made a statement to the people of the world, and somewhat regained some morality.

"Queen Mother, what a plan."

"Don't be verbose, go get this done."

The next day, the sky was clear, and the weather was pleasant, neither hot nor cold, thousands of flowers were blooming, and bees and butterflies were dancing. The rider walked in with a smile and said, "Autumn Xianggong, it's okay." ”

"Oh."

"The Queen Mother issued an edict to grant amnesty to the world."

If she doesn't think so, she just won't forgive the world, does she dare to continue to forcibly kill Qiu Renjie and Zhu Jingze at this time, and she really doesn't want to leave a way back? However, the amnesty of the world saves trouble.

"What else?" What the horseman heard, one — said it.

"The Queen Mother is still unwilling."

What about your willingness? Cai Wu pouted and flew

"Don't underestimate the Queen Mother."

Zhu Jing walked out of the room and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

I ate too much wine, and I roared in the middle of the night, and my throat was a little hoarse. The rider smiled and said, "Young Eunuch Zhu, the song you sang last night is very good." ”

"Singing?" Dare to drink too much and forget it all. The guards just laughed, and Qiu Renjie whispered in his ear.

Zhu Jing was very ashamed and said, "It seems that you can't eat too much wine, and eating too much will make a mistake." But it is understandable that even Qiu Renjie himself lost his temper, one was to escape from death, and the other was to confirm that Li Wei was safe and sound.

Then the cavalry officer instructed the guards again, you still have to be careful, there will probably be no more open knives, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no hidden arrows.

The White Horse Temple began to come alive.

In his later years, Wu Zetian went to the most frequent places, one was the White Horse Temple, and the other was the Shaolin Temple. Shaolin Temple is in Songshan, and there is more of a king, but the road is a little far, and I dare not leave Luoyang at this time. Only then did the ** meeting be set up in the White Horse Temple.

Many great monks came.

There are also many people who go to the White Horse Temple to make incense, thinking that it is God's help and going together to repay their vows. However, Wu Zetian is still dealing with government affairs in the wing room of the White Horse Temple. It's very nostalgic. I saw a copy of the recital, which was written by Li Chongyi, the governor of Xiazhou. It is said that Tuyuhun Khan Nuo Haobo received the edict of the Empress Dowager and led 5,000 troops to support Shuozhou and successfully crossed the border from Xiazhou. He himself drew in two thousand soldiers to help.

The Queen Mother asked Tuyuhun to send reinforcements, and she was afraid, so she had to take part of her troops to take the initiative. Regardless of whether or not you can take credit, at least you will not be held accountable afterwards.

Wu Zetian was a little confused, how much would he edict to let Nuo Haobo send troops? But he didn't care, maybe Nuo Yibo was from Tuyuhun, and the two sides didn't communicate well in words, which caused him to misunderstand. This is the news that Nuo Haobo didn't know that his son was alive safely, and took the initiative to show himself goodwill. But what can the five thousand Tuyuhun soldiers do? This time the Turks sent 200,000 troops!

Put down the fold and move on to the next one.

**The meeting was held for three days, and Wu Zetian returned to Luoyang. For the time being, Luoyang is still very calm, and nothing else has happened. But as soon as Wu Zetian put down the Buddhist scriptures, he raised the butcher knife. After Zhou Xing's interrogation, Liu Sizhi couldn't stand the torture and confessed to rebellion.

The crime of treason is the most serious crime in this era, but it is not Qiu Renjie who cares about a few lives.

Immediate decapitation.

This knife went down, with a strong sense of warning, don't think that when Your Majesty comes back, you can do whatever you want, if you don't listen to me, I can still kill you.

In fact, Liu Sizhi is still a good talent, but because he was implicated in Helan Minzhi's case, he couldn't use it for a long time, and was forced to attach himself to Wu Zetian. There are a few officials who don't want to climb up, so why did Qiu Renjie recommend himself and ask to see Li Wei in the first place? There are some selfishness, but how many people are not selfish?

But on the whole, there is still talent, and the moral character is okay. However, he was involved in political struggles and lacked vision, which finally led to his death.

There were many people who died, and they had an ambiguous relationship with Wu Zetian, and the people of Luoyang ignored it.

At this time, Wu Chengsi walked into the inner palace again and asked to see him. Qu Ping's secret letter reached Wu Chengsi, and Wu Chengsi was only going to write a letter, asking Qu Ping to strangle Kong Zhengfang for himself and leave. Anyway, because of the invasion of the Turks in the north, it is very chaotic, and it is easy to be charged with a crime. But this time he suddenly became smart, it didn't feel right, how could this Kong Zhengfang run to Taiyuan City?

Kong Zhengfang did a good job in front of him, but when he escaped later, he didn't do well and almost missed a big thing.

Wu Zetian snorted, and asked casually: "He arrived in Bingzhou?" ”

At first, it was just a question, a small county inheritance, and it had not yet entered her eyes.

Suddenly, he was terrified and said, "Show Qu Ping's letter to the mourning family." ”

Qu Ping's letter clearly stated that he came to join him, how he hesitated in the questioning, and only gave him an answer after more than 20 days of what he said, and then he guessed that he did not come well, and he must be burdened with a mission. As for what, it didn't come out.

Wu Zetian hurriedly rummaged in the fold again, and turned out Li Zhengyi's book. said loudly: "Quick, quick, inform Li Xiaoyi, Cheng Wuting, my son is in the army of Nuo Haobo." ”

Amazing intuition!

The guards were just about to go down to deliver the decree, but Wu Zetian waved his hand again and said, "No need." ”

Time is too late, and perhaps by this time, the two armies have already met.

Thinking of this, Wu Zetian sat down dejectedly, the building was about to fall, even if he had great skills, it was difficult to have the power to return to the sky. For a moment, it was as if his hair was turning gray in a hurry. (To be continued.)
