The big drama has begun!

Wu Chenghei is not stupid, otherwise he would not have turned the clouds and rain in history in the future, and almost became the crown prince of Wu Zhou. However, the prince's variable was unexpected by him, so he was stunned. Li Wei didn't give him time to think about it, and strode over.

Clench your fists and bow down. If you are guilty of compliments, you must always have "sincerity".

When Wu Zetian heard the news in the inner palace, he had not heard his son's words, and he almost spurted blood.

What an irony! Bear the guilt of asking for it, that is a beautiful talk, dare to admit mistakes, and will be reconciled, which is the admission of mistakes from the same level to the same level or the lower level to the superior. It's not that the superiors can't admit their mistakes, Li Weiru admits his mistakes and says that he is lonely, then he gives Wu Chengsi face. Before they came together, the people were discussing, why did the prince admit his mistake to Wu Chenghe? Still with thorns on your back? What kind of person is the prince, it is the virtuous prince who can't be found in the history books, the benevolent prince, and the prince who is smart and capable. What kind of person is Wu Chenghe, a relative who has done nothing. Why is the crown prince forced to do so?

Ignoring the discussion, Li Wei began to speak and said: "Zhou Guogong, at the end of last year, I took a few younger brothers to Sanmen to see the construction situation, so that they could understand political affairs and care about the people's welfare. ”

I know about this, and besides, the prince is indeed very friendly to his younger siblings, and everyone knows it.

After coming back, I met Zhou Guogong and gave each other a salute, but Princess Zhou was young and ignorant and did not return the courtesy. This is a lonely mistake, thinking that Princess Zhou is young and can't be cared about, and Zhou Guogong will not be angry with a child who has not grown long, so he didn't say it. "The word "no" is extremely heavy.

This is known to the people again, Princess Zhou died, how she died, it has not yet been circulated. can know the age of Princess Zhou, although she is now precocious, married early, and in charge of the family early, but after all, she is a child, and she will not be as mature as an adult, even if she is wrong, she must be lenient. But then the prince's words began to have a meaning, and said: "But Lone is wrong, there are many lonely brothers and sisters, and there are many things that are cheap, and so are people." And although Zhou Guogong is a relative, he is the only one who is recalled to the capital, and you are the only one who is recalled. Therefore, even Princess Zhou must respect you as an elder, otherwise you should die! ”

All at once the people were in an uproar. Relatives are also expensive, but they can no longer be more expensive than the prince or the prince, is it really necessary to change the dynasty?

Wu Chengsi said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister only said one sentence, the death of Princess Zhou is a punishment for killing the palace maid and sending food, arrogance is heavy, and she would rather starve to death than eat, and it has nothing to do with the minister." If the prince is dissatisfied with his relatives and wants to add to the crime, there is no excuse! The prince has always focused on people's livelihood, could it be that just breaking a glass bottle killed a human life and should not be punished? Otherwise, I would like to ask you, folks, if you send your daughter to the inner palace, it is just a small mistake, and she will be beaten to death, what do you think? ”

"Yes, extremely. So it's a lonely mistake. The queen mother sent her cronies Zhong Qingshi to punish the princess, and Princess Zhou was pampered, so she sent raw food for food, and sent someone to serve her sudden smoke. No matter if you don't ask, you don't know how you can't know it. A few days later, there was no sudden smoke, and Princess Zhou's raw food was difficult to swallow, and she couldn't cook, so she starved to death. ”

Another piece of fierce news broke out, and the discussion became louder.

"So lonely is wrong, people are the spirit of all things, everyone is equal, Zhou Guogong is a person, the people in the market are also people, even the father, the queen and the queen are also people, and there can be no distinction between rich and poor."

Hearing this, Wu Chenghei Khan fell again and again, and then the emperor and queen can be equal to the people?

"So Princess Zhou killed the palace maid and should pay for her life. But Gu confessed to you today, and there are still a few incomprehensions. Since all people are equal, killing people to pay for their lives, and repaying debts, Princess Zhou can hand over the investigation and execution of Princess Zhou, so why bother and starve to death. Even if she is a murderer, she is just a knife, did she have no intention of killing the palace maid, and she didn't do it herself, which is more serious than the murderer and the crime of rebellion? This lonely one is also puzzled. Since Zhou Guogong said the word equality, wealth and nobility are exchanged for fame, one merit and two names, what great contribution can Zhou Guogong make for the Tang Dynasty? Or what is the name of Zhou Guogong, let you come back from Lingnan, you will succeed to the throne of Guogong, enjoy the glory and wealth, in the past, the number of Rong Guofu cost hundreds of millions, and the two canals were huge, and the three provinces and six ministries refused to allocate more money for the two canals, but successively allocated nearly 10,000 yuan to repair your mansion again. Or is the Gongguo of Zhou scarce and precious, and in your hands, there is a distinction between rich and poor, and when it comes to Princess Zhou, everyone must be equal? ”

Not to mention, Wu Chenghe's words just now also bewitched some people, but let Li Wei's refutation be immediately refuted!

"Therefore, Lone did something wrong, Princess Zhou is the wife of Lone's royal brother, and the punishment for doing wrong is, but Lone heard that he only ate raw food, and knew that Princess Zhou was more auspicious, so he thought about it, the real crime was not to kill the palace maid, but to despise and arrogant Zhou Guogong, and heard the third brother say that he refused to save his father and queen mother, and he wanted to see Gu about the same refusal. After all, we have a lot of brothers, so it's cheap! Speaking of this, Li Wei smiled bitterly, the people sighed, and the spearhead was aimed at Li Zhi and Wu Zetian.

If you don't expose it, you won't be able to. Father suppressed this, he still has enemies, Pei Yan, Ming Chongyan and this Wu Chenghei, this is the enemy on the table, because of the conflict of interests, the secret enemy is unknown. There are also some villains, who also want to roar and roar to the throne, if they are given a chance, no matter what kind of prince they are, they will still step on it, and their father will show his sword like this, and if he does not fight back, it will be abolished in about a short time. Of course, if you abolish it, you will definitely have to run away. If you don't run away and stay in a certain state or county, the time of death will come. Fighting back and angering their parents, that is, they don't consider public opinion, they will be more or less jealous, kill the impossible, or abolish and exile. The same result, or a glimmer of life.

"Lone didn't understand it at the time, first, brotherhood, and second, Princess Zhou's offense against Zhou Guogong, a nobleman, was also brought out by Lone, and he was somewhat responsible. So when I went to your house, I said some angry words, "I didn't say that I would kill him, even if Wu Chengji refuted it, no one else was present at the time, and there was no evidence." smiled bitterly again: "Where did you think that the next day, the queen mother would summon Lone into the East Palace and reprimand her, and then the father and emperor issued an edict to shut Lone in the East Palace." If it weren't for Lone pleading with the Queen Mother and accompanying you, he wouldn't have let Lone out of the palace. Now I have to beg you, don't stir in front of your father and queen mother, and let you end up more miserable than Princess Zhou. ”

As he spoke, he bowed deeply, and almost bent to the ground.

……

In fact, there are many deep-seated reasons for this. The crown prince is old, his reputation is heavy, and the emperor refuses to give up power, and there must be many contradictions. starved Princess Zhou to death, and the death of the palace maid was just a flashpoint, mainly because Wu Zetian hated Princess Changle, but the people didn't know it. Wu Zetian lacks a sense of security, the situation has not yet developed to what Li Wei thought, Li Wei's thoughts are a little unfounded, and now Wu Zetian also knows that he is sorry for his son, but he is always relieved to hold the right in his hands. But the struggle for power can only be fought for from the son's hands, and it is inevitable to suppress the son and maintain an obedient relative.

But Li Weizhen did not act, and continued to develop, it is difficult to say how far things have become.

Not many people who know from the insider,

So the discussion began quickly. can imagine, why are relatives so powerful, the matter of Helan Minzhi has been turned over again, and the assassination of the prince has nothing to do with Helan Minzhi, but it is indeed sent to kidnap the crown princess. As a result, the little lady of the Yang family has not entered the East Palace until now, and even left the capital to avoid trouble, and Yang Sijian died in a foreign land. This Wu Chengsi has just come back for less than a year, and he has made waves again, who gave him the guts?

After Wu Zetian heard it in the inner palace, he said a few times: "Okay!" Good! ”

All the fame, all the efforts, let the son of this guilty pleading, suddenly hit the bottom.

Not only that, but also talk about Li Zhi, don't say that the tiger poison does not eat children, there is no such thing, there are not too many emperors in history who kill their own sons for a certain favored minister, or for some reason.

If it was an ordinary prince, it would be fine, but this prince, the people pinned too much hope. Not only the people, but also the scholars, have always despised Wu Zetian's background, let alone Wu Chenghei. Coincidentally, there was an incident at the beginning of spring this year, and this year there was also a branch of the court, which had nothing to do with Li Wei, but because it was held in Luoyang, it was prepared in a hurry, and because there were many events in the DPRK and China at that time, so it was not successfully held. During the main examination, 57 Jinshi were recruited, which is a large number, and since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it can be squeezed into the top five.

However, everyone thinks it is unfair, and it should be said that the politics of the early Tang Dynasty were very "democratic", not only the foundation laid by Li Shimin, but also Li Zhi did a lot of practical things in his early years. For example, in the scientific examination, he fell into the first place, borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, and there is also a famous hall, which is called beating and dabbling (removing troubles). Retire and drop out of school, review and study again, which is called summer. The new achievements after leaving school, that is, there are experiences, are called summer fruits, also known as autumn rolls. In addition, there is a rule, if you are dissatisfied with the Gongyuan and think that the chief judge is unfair, so you will slander anonymously and call it nameless. The likes of nameless sons, and the imperial court does not blame them.

But this year's injustice is too obvious, and even thinks that the queen intends to choose a henchman in this group of jinshi, which is not easy to say clearly, is a secret discussion between the lifters, thinking that the cold door of this scientific examination admission is too heavy. This point coincides with Li Wei and Wu Zetian, and it is inevitable to support the poor, otherwise the social differentiation will become more and more serious. But it cannot be denied that famous families, just like the university entrance examination in later generations, what is the admission rate of the college entrance examination in Shanghai and Beijing, and how many poor schools in Qinling, Dabie Mountain, Yunnan-Guishan District, can be admitted? This involves a resource problem, and the more famous resources there are, the more talented people will naturally come out. Or if Wu Chenghei deceives the equality of all people, I am afraid that in this era, even the tribes living at the lowest level of society do not have this idea.

Therefore, many anonymous people first appeared, and later publicly jointly wrote a letter to question. In order to appease the resentment of these movers, Li Zhi issued an edict to retake the examination and admitted eleven more people. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan has admitted 26 Jinshi and Li Shimin 205 in the five imperial examinations, a total of 20 times. Before this scientific examination, Li Zhi had a total of seventeen times, a total of more than 330 people, and he had never retaken the examination.

Even so, many lifters were not convinced, and continued to stay in Luoyang, and the three gates were opened to navigation that day, and these lifters also went to watch.

I was not convinced, but when I heard about it, some were sincerely unhappy, and some were famous for it, after all, Qingliu was still the main body, and once again jointly wrote to the court and asked the court. First, why did Princess Zhou die tragically and bury hastily, which is not in accordance with the system. The second is why did Princess Zhou be imprisoned and send people to serve her sudden smoke? Don't mention the matter of raw food, you can use punishment to let Princess Zhou reform and prevaricate, and then send someone to serve her sudden smoke, it doesn't smoke for a few days, and the body is rotten when people are dragged out, why don't you send someone in to check. The palace has probably not been entered, and there will be no fewer palace people coming in and out, and they are desperate with hunger, and Princess Zhou doesn't shout or scream? Why hasn't anyone heard it? But a chamberlain is not so bold, and now the eunuch can be a confidant, without ***, the right is still very small. The Zhao family is not only a princess, but also the daughter of Princess Changle, so there is a third article, who instructed it? The fourth is to ask Li Zhi, his younger brother and sister died innocently and tragically, and the prince asked, it is also human nature, why did the emperor edict to claustrophobic the prince?

It's easy to have someone take the lead. In fact, there are many people who know about this, and they are unhappy in their hearts, but they are waiting. This is also related to Wu Zetian's methods, three strategies for taming horses, whipping with whips, hammering with horses, and then disobedient, solved with a dagger. Therefore, Wu Zetian's solution to the disobedient people is very simple, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and the Zhao family was starved to death, which is also a warning. People's hearts may not be convinced, but how many people are not afraid of death? So I had to be silent. But some people took the lead, and the law did not blame the public, and then many Confucian scholars began to write one after another, and even the people protested.

The loud voice of the conquest also forced the prime ministers not to sit idly by.

The prince was forced to such a situation and pleaded guilty to a small relative, which was in itself a dereliction of duty by the prime minister. There is another one, Liu Renliang is back, and this battle did not start after Liu Renliang left. Since last year, Liu Renliang has not arrived, and the army has begun to travel. Liu Renliang had not yet left the capital, and the order had already been issued, ordering the soldiers to prepare soldiers for the Tang Dynasty, and attack the southern border of Silla by floating sea. At the same time, Li Jinxing recruited troops in Pyongyang.

This is also due to the backward means of communication.

An order was sent down to Silla, and even the fastest rotation of horses was in a month or two. Liu Renliang began to run non-stop to ***, and led the army to the Gulu River in early February. Prior to this, the two armies had already fought, the Tang Dynasty army suddenly arrived, Silla was defenseless, the soldiers and civilians of Ada City went out of the city to plant hemp, and were detected by the Tatar people, Liu Renliang immediately ordered the Tatar people to attack Ada City and succeeded. Then it was the Silla Seven Fortress that was officially attacked, and the army led by the Tang Army, the Khitan Army, and the Jin Dynasty Army, with more than 40,000 people (Later, Korean history books said that the Great Victory was a great victory, and that the Tang Army was hundreds of thousands of people at every turn, which is not credible.) After the war with Tibet, the Tang Dynasty fought on two fronts, and hundreds of thousands of troops could not be divided into Silla) besieged Qichongcheng.

Originally, the Silla generals were not Liu Renliang's opponents, and now Liu Renliang has transferred some improved trebuchets and gunpowder several times in advance. This thing is still not very lethal now, but it can kill people. Soon the city of Silla was breached, and the rout army scattered and fled. In this battle, countless Silla soldiers were killed. Silla defended the north, the south was empty, and the army of Silla floated south and landed in the southern border of Silla, in fact, at this time, the Tang Dynasty completely abandoned Baekje, that is, in the enclaves of Jeonju and Gwangju in Korea in later generations, and set up a Xiongjin Governorate. It has been encroached upon by Silla many times, and the main reason for the filth between the two sides is here. The Tang Dynasty still occupied some, but most of it was encroached upon by Silla, and the establishment of the Governor's Office had to be abolished.

Therefore, after the landing of the Tatar people, they killed a large number of people. These two battles hit Silla hard, but when Liu Renliang left, Li Zhi repeatedly instructed him to accept it when he saw it, and Silla was not the main target of conquest, but Tibet. So Liu Renliang led the army back. Li Zhi issued an edict again, ordering Li Jinxing to be the ambassador of Andong to pacify the country, at this time Li Jinxing still had heavy troops in his hands, but there were few Tang soldiers, mainly the Jin people, supplemented by the Khitans, and continued to attack the coastal city of Mai Xiao Cheng (near Incheon) in the south of the Seven Cities, and the battle continued. Here, Lee Jinxing once again won three battles and three victories, and the Silla people were beaten badly. The Silla king Kim Fa-min was desperate and sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty again to pay tribute and apologize.

In short, this kind of surrender if you can't fight, win a respite after surrendering, and fight again, the Silla people are more skilled than Li Zicheng.

But the envoy and the news have not yet arrived in Luoyang, and they only know that Liu Renliang is going to return to the court.

Among all the Zaifu, it is not Dai Zhide, Hao Chujun, or Pei Xingjian who can really bear the seal of the prince, but Liu Renliang. Liu Renliang returned so soon, bringing new changes to the court.
