Chapter 135: Spring Thunder (7)

After Li Wei heard it, a hanging heart fell, bu

Li Jingye's troops turned to Jiangnan, and the major event was gone, and it would not cause much harm to the country.

But he sighed: "This son is misleading." ”

If he really had the idea of recovering the Li Tang clan, no matter what the purpose was, it would still be good.

But coveting the royal spirit of Jinling, his heart has been seen!

And caused serious harm to Li Tang, such a mediocre army did not shake Wu Zetian's rule, but consolidated Wu Zetian's rule. See no, such a loud anti-military force, how many days will it take to be wiped out, three times five divided by two, which one of you dares to learn again?

Under the suppression, the Li Tang clans will inevitably raise troops in the future. But because of Li Jingxuan's defeat, there will be fewer and fewer people who respond, and there are people who are greedy for life and afraid of death within the clan, and they can tell Wu Zetian.

When I looked through the history books in my previous life, I skimmed by, and I couldn't recall many things I had seen now. At that time, he considered the problem from an objective point of view, the winner was the king, and the loser was the villain, and he himself was not very disgusted with Wu Zetian, but admired it quite a lot. How difficult it is, the only female emperor in the ages, and the most powerful female emperor of the dynasty.

In terms of the emperor's actions, Wu Zetian was not a good emperor, he killed many people, many people, including many innocent people, some very capable ministers and generals, and the border was even more embarrassing, defeated by Tubo, defeated by Khitan, defeated by Turkic, defeated by Jin, and the northeast shrank from the Datong River to Hebei. Qinghai has become the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, and I can't even think about it. In the north and south of Yinshan, the Turkic iron horses were free to crisscross and became their racecourse.

But in general, if he is not a good emperor and does not do well, he cannot be regarded as useless, at least compared to most emperors, he is already considered good.

However, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he can only consider the problem from the perspective of maintaining the Li Tang Dynasty. said that for the country, it depends on whether it has the ability, but in order to achieve the only empress in history, she is willing to send her neck to the knife edge?

After thinking about it for a while, it was also time for the fire, and asked the guards to call the black tooth Changzhi in.

It's almost time to run the country, and they have to let Wang Fangyi scatter the army back. Also, you need one

The opportunity to take down the two thugs of the mother, Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxun! This must be done in a clever way, and not a real civil war. I can't afford to hurt it, and I don't want to set this bad precedent.

The two discussed for a long time and called Kong Zhengfang over.

Kong Zhengfang was suspicious at first, and then fell down and cried. Li Wei has been staying in a manor outside the city, but he kept it a secret, and all the soldiers in Qinghai did not know the inside story except for a few dozens. Like Kong Zhengfang, these people are worried all the time.

Kong Zhengfang asked while sobbing: "Your Majesty, it's been almost a year, where have you been?" When the minister heard the news, he was worried. ”

Li Wei can't say that those news were deliberately released by the Lianpai, and he can't say it in the future, otherwise how will people think of him? didn't answer, helped him up, and said: "Last year, you were in the eastern capital, so that Lian was very satisfied. ”

Kong Zhengfang's eyes immediately radiated brilliance.

Although that night in Wu Chenghe's mansion, many of the North Gate Scholars did not want to fight, so he won the mouth, but it also proved that he was not a mediocre talent. Hearing it, His Majesty calls himself a union, and this is a strong and confident signal. It also means that Luoyang is the eastern capital, which also means that the queen mother's tricks are not recognized at all.

Li Wei asked him to sit down and said, "Lian has a very dangerous matter, I want you to do it for me." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to the soup for Your Majesty, and you will never die." Kong Zhengfang knelt down again and said. This time, as long as the emperor is alive, Datang will be saved.

"You don't have to go to the soup to fight the fire, as long as you are smart, this trip is only dangerous, not fierce."

Said a little.

A few days later, an incident occurred in Qinghai, Kong Zhengfang had an incident with a general. horn, to the place where the black tooth is common, and the black tooth often favors this general. Kong Zhengfang was disheartened when the emperor's life and death were unknown, so he resigned and wanted to return to his hometown.

As a result, Heiya Changzhi had a misunderstanding, thinking that he wanted to take refuge in Wu Zetian, so he sent someone to chase after him and stopped his wife and son, but Kong Zhengfang himself escaped. Missing.

It was originally a trivial matter, but because Kong Zhengfang Luoyang and his party won him a little fame, it made people pay attention. But in the end, it was a little person, who paid attention to it for a while, and then forgot about it. However, people with a heart still pay attention to it. This incident means that Qinghai is no longer an iron plate when the emperor has not been whereabouts for a long time, and there is a rift.

When Wu Zetian heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that she's afraid of Li Jingye, it's a rabble.

It is not by chance that the Qinghai generals are afraid of the most capable generals in the country, one is that the son understands military affairs, so these talents are excavated, and the second is constantly cultivated, so that the talents can grow smoothly. There is also a group of veterans of a hundred battles.

Even if her son is really dead, how to arrange it for the Qinghai generals, she also has a headache. So far, she has not touched Qinghai, so she is afraid that these people will have any misunderstanding.

As long as there are contradictions from within, then it will be easy to do.

Li Xiaoyi also heard about Li Jingye, and his heart was overjoyed. He is a genuine imperial uncle, but he found a fake version of Li Xian to suppress the formation. Who in the world doesn't know that Li Xian was beheaded by the Queen Mother in Bazhou? Credibility was already lacking. However, Li Jingxuan ran for the king of Jinling and ran his own territory, and everyone in the world saw Li Jingye's face clearly, this righteous teacher is a fake king of Qin, really rebellious!

Without morality, what is left of this army?

Wu Zetian's edict was an army of 300,000, and the Tang Dynasty was a government soldier system, and the speed of conscription was very slow. Even if it is so-so, it will take a long time to make do with 300,000 troops.

However, the situation is in me, the opportunity cannot be lost, and it will not come again, taking advantage of the disappointment of the people of the world to Li Jingxuan, Li Xiaoyi left the eastern capital with tens of thousands of troops and immediately went south. But Li Jingxuan himself did not admit to rebellion, and sneered at his uncle Li Siwen: "You are the Queen Mother, you should change your surname to Wu, and you are not qualified to have the surname Ji." "Huzhi Wu Siwen.

Hearing that Li Xiaoyi's army was coming, he led his troops from Runzhou to return to Jiangbei and confronted him in Gaoyou. Hold on for more than ten days, let Liu Jingtong use the northwest wind to attack with fire and be defeated. fled to Jiangdu, Li Xiaoyi pursued the soldiers. It was too late to flee to Runzhou, so he had to get on a sea ship and prepare to cross the sea and become a soil overlord on a certain island. However, the soldiers refused, and the general Wang Naxiang and a group of soldiers suddenly rebelled and killed Li Jingye, Li Jingxian and King Libin on the ship. Pass the head to vote.

Then Wei Siwen and others were captured one by one.

In just a few dozen days, the mighty rebellion was put down.

Wu Zetian was surprised and delighted when he heard it.

There must be happiness, such a large-scale rebellion was extinguished in dozens of days. This is of great significance, if anyone wants to change in the future, let's see what happened to Li Jingye.

I was surprised that I didn't expect Li Tang to be so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is Li Jingye, the third ancestor, who is not angry, if a famous general like Liu Renliang personally presides over it, and is very sober-minded and leads his troops to Luoyang, what should he do?

What's worse, what happens if the son is alive and comes back with his troops?

Begin to reflect on whether you have taken too many steps.

But immediately dispelled this, thought, and did not regret it. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have seized the power in a short period of time. If you can't catch it, people's hearts will be struck, and the consequences will be unpredictable. However, I would like to add to this detail. So he took out a large amount of wealth, sent it to Chang'an, and gave it to Liu Renliang, but there was nothing to reward, so he had to reward him with money to appease Liu Renliang's heart.

And he summoned a man.

Called Zhou Xing, asked him to sit down, and said slowly: "Zhou Qing, the mourning family used to be in the Taiji Palace, and His Majesty Taizong had a fierce horse, which no one could tame, and the mourning family said to let the mourning family give it a try." Taizong asked again, and the mourning family said that I have three magic weapons, one is an iron whip, the second is an iron hammer, and the third is a dagger. If you do not obey me, you will whip him with an iron whip. If you don't accept it again, I'll hammer it with a hammer. Even more unconvinced, no matter how good this horse is, it is not for me, so I have to cut its throat with a dagger. Now the mourning family has taken a fancy to a good horse, but it is difficult for the mourning family to use it, what do you think the mourning family should do? ”

Zhou Xing's legs fluttered, and he asked in a trembling voice: "I don't know that the queen mother has taken a fancy to that horse." ”

"This horse's surname is Zhou Mingxing. Jingzhao Chang'an people's family, studied law as a teenager, and after entering the office, he became the capital of Shangshu Province, and moved to Sinong Shaoqing. In the past, Xu Jingzong, who helped my son cut off an important arm of the mourning family, went down with that knife, and the mourning family was almost secretly in the harem. Good horse, good horse. ”

"The queen mother, the minister is guilty, but at that time, the minister, the minister, the minister ......" Zhou Xing's face turned white with fright, his upper teeth touched his lower teeth, and his words were not thorough.

"The past has passed, the mourning family doesn't care, I just want to ask you, the mourning family wants to use this horse, I don't know if this horse will listen to the mourning family?"

"Listening, listening."

"Okay, the mourning family will appoint you as the servant of the Di official (Criminal Department) and let you preside over the trial of Li Jingye's case."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Wu Zetian issued an edict to chase Li Jingye's ancestral examination, dug up Li Ji's grave, cut the coffin with an axe, and reverted to the surname Xu.

Her character is Shunchang's rebellion, and if she doesn't say a word in the court that she wants, she will be demoted and dismissed, and Li Jingye will rebel. Besides, in the past, Li Ji helped herself ascend to the throne of the queen, and she was also not thin on Li Ji. However, not long after, Li Ji exiled her husband to Li Yifu.

Li Yifu died and was exiled on the way, Xu Jingzong fell ill and retired, so he had to go to the official ceremony. This was the most dangerous moment of her life. The son made Xu Jingzong not count that time, he made concessions very wisely, taking into account the relationship between mother and son, so he did not enter a dead end.

Xiao Wang and Wang are not counted when they argue, in their eyes they are still a little nun and a little talent, in the face of these two fools, she exerts her power in the harem, she is at ease, she can ascend to the sky when she enters, and she can protect herself without worry. The eldest grandson Wuji didn't count that time, there were two major henchmen in the court, Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong, who echoed it, even if he couldn't be the queen, it wouldn't be very dangerous.

Therefore, Li's achievements are offset by demerits.

This move was made by her inner anger, and some sober-minded ministers have realized Wu Zetian's meanness and unkindness through her actions.

On the road to her power, the three most important people, Li Zhi is undoubtedly in the first place, without the weight of the first emperor, there would be no Wu Zetian today.

The second place is Li Ji, no matter what, without Li Ji's original support, Wu Zetian couldn't even be the queen, and now he is at this point? As for Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong, although they were very powerful at that time, but with just these two villains, Wu Zetian could be the queen against the sky? Don't forget, she is not only from a humble background, but also has an extremely embarrassing identity, Taizong is talented.

The third place is Pei Yan, without Pei Yan, Wu Zetian would not be today.

The result?

But Wu Zetian has not been exerting obscenity.

This riot made her realize the power of the people and the role of the people's will. Therefore, another edict was issued, exempting Henan Province and Guanzhong from taxation for one year, originally wanting to exempt the people of the whole country from taxation for one year, but considering the pressure of the state treasury, this idea was dispelled. Then he wantonly allocated talents and used officials to buy people's hearts. As a result, many buried talents have emerged, but more are wasted talents, and the money in the treasury is like flowing water, flowing less and less.

I don't ask about it. After all, money is used for use, and it is only good if it comes in handy. On this point, the mother and son have the same opinion. From the city of Moufu to Sindh, the harvest of two times is almost the same as today's number. However, in the end, Li Wei was brought to Chang'an, less than one in ten.

And her energy and talent once again left the prime ministers speechless.

As soon as Li Zhi died, Wu Zetian had no scruples, and she didn't even need to read the recital for her husband word by word, which saved her a lot of time. As a result, the speed of review and folding is accelerated. is so capable, even the affairs of the prime ministers have been done for her, and she has done a good job.

Now the prime minister is very good and very idle. Even Pei Yan can take half a day off every day.

There are a lot of prime ministers, but Wu Zetian is all empty with his own ability and talent.

Zhou Xing also began to preside over the case of Xu Jingye's rebellion.

Under torture, more and more people are implicated. The spearhead is mainly aimed at the Yulin Army, which is also what Wu Zetian is worried about. Xu Jingye raised 100,000 troops on the top of the river, which did not pose a threat to her, if the Yulin army had soldiers, as long as there were hundreds of people, they could directly murder her life.

But things have gone through Zhou Xing's hands and changed their taste.

A year has passed since the emperor, and there is no news yet, and the generals and soldiers in Qinghai began to talk about it, even the one at the beginning

Because of this, Kong Zhengfang had a conflict with some soldiers and fled to the Central Plains. The emperor is probably not coming back, and the queen mother appreciates herself, so she has to give a little in return.

There were many soldiers in the Yulin Army who were loyal to Li Wei, such as Duan Huaijian, who accompanied Li Wei to patrol Henan Province. Li Wei and his entourage in the Western Regions did not take all of them away, and Zhou Xing also found them out one by one. and some of the officials, the common people.

Some people were locked up in prisons for further interrogation, while others were convicted of their crimes and were immediately beheaded for public display.

Although it is exempt from taxes, Luoyang is still a miserable storm.

Qiu Renjie couldn't help it, and when he was in the next court, he stopped Zhou Xing and said, "Zhou Shilang, don't forget, how did Your Majesty treat you at the beginning?" ”

Zhou Xing was very ashamed and left.

Just as Zhu Jing passed by, he heard Di Renjie's question, and said worriedly: "Di Xianggong, soon your question will reach the ears of the Queen Mother." ”

"I can't help it," Di Renjie sighed, he felt a little bad when he used this guy at the beginning. However, considering some special uses, His Majesty was disgusted and continued to use it himself. Didn't expect to have today. After a pause, he said: "Zhu Shaoqing, what is the darkest light in a day?" ”

"At dawn."

"That's right, after dawn, won't it be dawn?"

If it is His Majesty's strategy, the time is almost up, and if it continues, it will go too far. It's about time for the emperor to show up. If the emperor had just in case, he didn't say this, and sooner or later he would have become a wronged ghost under the knife.

After speaking, I looked at the sky, and the north wind was still blowing, and the wind was blowing like a knife. Many houses in Luoyang City were piled with thick snow, and when the wind blew, it fell from the roofs in a clump of powder. There is also thick ice in Luoshui. The withered yellow reeds by the river were blown down by the cold wind, and the weather was very cold, and the reed leaves were like frozen, and they swayed very stiffly. It was darkest and dawn was not far away. When the season is at its coldest time, will spring be far away?
