Section 921 The power of the court
After the imperial banquet, everyone left the palace, Wei Xi and Luoyang ordered Cui Qianxun to walk by the Luoshui River, where there was a lot of development, high-rise buildings, and it was extremely lively, but the pedestrians saw Wei Xi's subordinates who were like tigers and wolves before and after, so they gave way one after another.
"Well done!" Wei Xi praised.
"That's all His Highness's teaching!" Cui Qianxun didn't dare to be authentic.
He said to Wei Xi, "...... At present, the hostility of the main forces in the court towards your Highness has not weakened, but has strengthened. ”
"Oh, tell me about it!" Wei Xi said with interest.
Cui Qianxun, as the representative of Wei Xi's forces in the court, the first night Wei Xi came back, he mobilized a secret intelligence system to verify his reliability, and there was no sign of defection to the enemy, so he could be trusted.
"One is the martial brothers, they want to ascend to the throne, regard you as the most important opponent, and be evenly matched with you, don't look at Wu Sansi's friendship with you on the surface, that's because Wu Chengsi is his brother, the first to bear the brunt, he doesn't need to provoke you, once Wu Chengsi is not right, then he will fight for the throne, and conflicts with you are inevitable."
"I never thought that when there was peace with the samurai brothers, our struggle would be with me without him!"
"Your Highness is very right!"
"Is it possible for Wu Chenghei to ascend to the throne?" Wei Xi asked idly.
Cui Qianxun laughed and said, "How is it possible! ”
"Your Majesty has a lot of trust in Wu Chenghei, and she feels that Wu Chengsi and others' 'since ancient times the Son of Heaven has not taken a different surname as the heir' is very reasonable, but Li Zhaode, Di Renjie, Ji Ji and others said that 'since ancient times, there is no nephew for the Son of Heaven, but for the aunt to build a temple, not to mention the temple for the uncle' is also reasonable, she is undecided, so on the issue of establishing a son and a nephew as the prince, she has been hesitant for a long time."
"However, I think that the battle is a one-time battle, if you can't win, then decline, three and exhaustion, Wu Chenghei has been dragging on for a long time, there should be no chance of success!" Cui Qianxun said: "What's more, if he wants to ascend the throne, he has to ask us if we agree!" ”
Wei Xi said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty asked me what I thought of Wu Chenghei before, and I said that I would definitely say bad things about him, so Your Majesty didn't ask." ”
Wu Chengsi originally had a good chance, but his opportunity seemed to be lost as Wei Xi became more and more successful, after all, it was impossible for Wu Zetian to let such a big military leader in the country oppose and she was indifferent, either she went along with the will of the military leader, or cut off the military head.
But the head of the army has gained power, and Wei Xi's words have "...... Erchen's Western Army", in case he does not control the Western Army, he does not guarantee what the Western Army will do!
It is conceivable that any supreme commander of the Western Army will use the banner of avenging Wei Xi, which is also the fastest way to control the Western Army.
"So straightforward!" Cui Qianxun couldn't help but laugh, and then he said the second hostile force: "Di Renjie! ”
Di Renjie!
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Wei Xi's eyes!
Di Renjie, a famous minister through the ages, is indeed talented, and he shines wherever he puts it, because of his talent, he has won the trust of Wu Zetian and has become a Luantai servant, and he is likely to pay homage to the prime minister this year.
Di Renjie upheld orthodoxy and resolutely supported Li Dan's inheritance, and others, such as the empress's nephews and daughters, wanted to ascend the throne, but he resolutely opposed them!
The contradictions between the two sides are irreconcilable, what about Di Renjie!
Now there are three forces competing for the position of the Eastern Empire, Wu Chengsi, Li Dan and Princess Wei Xi Taiping and his wife: Wu Chengsi and Wu Zetian have the same surname, and they have a congenital advantage, Li Dan is the orthodoxy of feudal society, and Wei Xi is the most powerful.
However, Wei Xi has not publicly stated his attitude, only saying that he supports Li Dan and then unites with Li Dan to fight Wu Chenghei, who is in the limelight, and he doesn't say anything, he is lonely outside the pass, which is Sima Zhao's heart, and passers-by know it.
In addition, there is also an important force rising in the government: the Zhang brothers!
They have not followed Wu Zetian for long, and they have won deep trust, Wu Zetian controls the government through them, and the power of the two is already very considerable... To a certain extent, Guo Zhiju can't stand the anger of these two posteriors!
Political affairs are nothing more than "people, property, and property", Guo Zhiju is the secretary of the household department, and it is inevitable that he will be attacked by the fierce attack of the Zhang brothers.
They stir up trouble, make trouble, look for trouble everywhere, do a lot of tricks, are young and energetic, Guo is annoying, and they are unbearable.
As a political elder, fighting with the powerful, everyone is often more graceful, and the fight is interesting, and it is even called "wisdom"!
Fight with cool officials, no matter how you will have a good reputation.
But fighting with juniors, winning is not martial, and defeat is ridiculous.
So Guo Zhiju is fed up, so it's better to beg to go.
……
Guo Beiju's situation, Cui Qianxun knows it clearly, he was also troubled by the Zhang brothers in Luoyang Ling, fortunately, he has good energy, and he is guilty of fighting Tai Chi with them, and there are urban management troops.
He can't move the Zhang brothers, and he can't move the Zhang brothers' horses?!
There are many men in the urban management army who lick the blood with knives, and they are deeply educated by the army. . . Love the people like children, the army and the people are in love with the water!
Once the Zhang brothers' horses attacked the people, the urban management troops immediately attacked them, and they did not kill them, but crippled them.
After the fight, he happily took Cui Qianxun's letter of recommendation and train ticket, and went out of the customs to find the old army to "re-hire"!
Cui Qianxun has a relationship, no matter what they have done, it is a good thing to come to help, and accept them all, so there is a way back, Cui Qianxun's words are listened to, and they are not afraid of the Zhang brothers.
The brothers of the Zhang family are annoyed, but they don't move them, and Cui Qianxun demolished and built in Luoyang, changing the city's appearance, Luoyang has become extremely beautiful, and he is deeply liked by the good-faced Wu Zetian, even if they go to sue, Wu Zetian will come and dilute the mud!
Another point, Cui Qianxun will be an official, he will never eat alone when he engages in engineering, the martial brothers have a stock price, and the prince of the Li family also has a stock price, so long-sleeved and good at dancing, everyone praises him, even if it is the favored Zhang family brothers, he can't help it.
After going back and forth, the Zhang brothers knew that he would not be provoked, and there were a lot of opportunities in other places, so there was no need to carry him, the key was that Cui Qianxun also released a rumor: It's a big deal that labor and management will break up with you, pat your ass and go to the Western Regions to be a big official!
Cui Qianxun talked about the battle of wits and courage with the Zhang brothers, and said disdainfully: "They all rely on the majesty of His Majesty, and they have no real ability at all, and the officials they promoted are worse than the people of the Wu brothers!" ”
In addition to these four forces, there is also a force that is as terrifying as a flood beast: the cool officials.
However, as the people who should be defeated have been defeated, the cool officials who have risen have also come to an end, and their majesty is no longer there.
Among the famous cool officials, Zhou Xing died, Suo Yuanli died, Qiu Shenji also died, Lai Zixun and Hou Sizhi all died, and died in the hands of Wu Zetian, who had been favored by them and entrusted with heavy use, Wu Zetian borrowed them to achieve the goal of killing the Li Tang clan, eliminating the ministers and high-ranking officials loyal to Li Tang, as well as a large number of military and political officials, and eliminating dissent.
After the consolidation of the court, almost all the ministers were promoted by her, and she stopped, so the rule of the cool officials who did not learn and did not know how to do it came to an end.
But there is one person, as long as he does not die for a day, no one dares to sit back and relax.
Come to Junchen!
