Chapter 135: Balancing Civil and Military Forces

"To get back to the point, the British Duke you just mentioned. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info Why do you think he can stand with me? "Compared with Lou Shide, who is a little minion, it is Li Shiji who can make Wu Zetian more tempting. This person is probably also the one she ignores. Suddenly hearing Helan Minzhi's words, she still had some hope.

"Now the minister of the DPRK and China is headed by the eldest grandson Taiwei, and Wu is headed by the British Duke of Sikong. These two were both trusted ministers who were relied on by the emperor back then. They are also the same people who accompanied the first emperor in the southern and northern wars and contributed to the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. But now, the eldest grandson Taiwei is covering the sky with one hand in the court. And Sikong was forced to resign even in the early years. If it weren't for His Majesty's kindness, he would have given him a vacancy. This British duke is about to be at home. Would you be satisfied, you say? With a rhetorical tone, it is more instructive.

Suddenly, Wu Zetian's eyes lit up: "If it were me, I would definitely not be satisfied." ”

"Exactly. Although the position of Sikong is noble, it is definitely not what this old man who has fought all his life wants. He must be dissatisfied with the eldest grandson in his heart, and the key is how you can use the dissatisfaction in his heart to achieve your goals. I remember someone once said that the enemy of this enemy is a friend. The British Duke will not fail to see it."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend... This sentence is well said and incisive. Wu Zetian's eyes were shining, and he kept smacking this sentence.

Helan Minzhi slandered in his heart: Isn't it incisive, this is what the Taizu said when he was in the dynasty, can it be incisive?

"Please also pay attention to my aunt, the British Duke Li Shiji is definitely more suitable to stand on our side than the eldest grandson. Sometimes you don't even need him to do anything, just show your attitude is the greatest support for you. ”

After hearing this, Wu Zetian didn't say anything. Instead, he fell into deep thought, and the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if he was considering the feasibility of this matter. After thinking about it for a while, it was as if it had suddenly dawned on me. looked at Helan Minzhi with a weird smile: "You kid, since you dare to propose the British Duke, you must have a plan in your heart, right?" ”

Looking at her expression, I was shocked. Thinking that she had come up with something terrible, she took it and ran to herself.

"Uh... My aunt laughed. Although the nephew has always liked to hear about this matter in the court. But after all, he is young, how dare he plot against the British public. That's a bit of a lie.

"Alright, don't talk to me about any nonsense. In the letter, my mother told me everything about your boy. Since you were a child, you have been a person who is not sure that you will never mention it. Since I said it today, the British Duke is definitely not a whim. It just so happened that I also came up with an idea, you and I might as well verify each other? "Wu Zetian is interested.

It stands to reason that this pregnant woman, especially the pregnant woman in this deep uterus. I don't have much exercise on weekdays, and I am often squeamish. After saying a few words, he gasped, and after sitting for a while, his face turned pale. Okay. Looking at Wu Zetian, he has been sitting here for nearly an hour and a half, even if he speaks, he will say that it will be almost enough for an hour. And it's not idle chatting, it's all big things.

After taking it, his face was ruddy and his complexion was excellent. At this time, it seemed that he was interested, his face became red, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and this beautiful face made people lose their souls.

"Today, you and I learn from the ancients, and there is no trace of this water. You write two words on this table, and I write two words on the table to see if they coincide. As he spoke, he actually raised the teacup and handed it to Helan Minzhi. Helan Minzhi's tea had already been drunk, and there was no water.

The corners of his mouth twitched and took the teacup, okay, you are still really elegant.

But this boss is happy, and this little clerk has to accompany him. With a slight reluctance, he dipped his index finger in water and gently wrote two words on top of this small number. When I looked up, I found that Wu Mei had already written and was looking at herself.

Stretching out her head to look at her, Wu Mei also looked at herself with a smile.

Helan Minzhi wrote the word balance. However, it is not as coincidental as written in the legend of the book, Wu Zetian did not write balance, but the words civil and military.

looked up at Wu Zetian and found that she pouted slightly. With a little bit of disappointment. In an instant, Helan Minzhi felt that his world had collapsed. I especially want to look up to the sky and roar: Sister, please pay attention to your identity? You are the ruthless empress, not the martial artist in front of you with a little girlish longing. I can't accept it.

"Although the words are different, you and I are compatible, right? Hahaha. Wu Zetian said with a smile. Helan Minzhi was no longer able to complain, but nodded without a trace of expression.

Wu Zetian writes about civil and military, and He Lan Minzhi writes about balance. Actually, it's all the same thing. It's all about the court. After Li Shimin's death, he left the country to Li Zhi, and Li Shiji and his eldest grandson Wuji assisted the government to ensure the stability of the Tang Dynasty. Both of them are smart people, so they naturally know Li Shimin's intentions, for fear that if any one of them becomes bigger, it will be difficult to clean up in the future. So leaving both of them is for the sake of balance.

Therefore, for so many years, even the eldest grandson Wuji stretched his hand longer and longer, and even went to the emperor's harem. Even though he suppressed Li Shiji in the DPRK, he never stretched out his hand to the military, and did not touch any of the military's forces.

This is not only to comply with the situation left by Li Shimin, but also to give himself the greatest protection if he does not want to rebel. This reason is one of the reasons why he controls the government so much, but Gaozong doesn't want to do anything to him.

And Li Ji is the same, although he is dissatisfied with the suppression of his eldest grandson Wuji in his heart. But even if he wrote a letter to resign, he didn't compete with him in politics. Although Li Zhi is benevolent, he will never allow a prince who already controls this army to extend his hand to court affairs.

This is the balancing technique left by Li Shimin, and it is also the art of the emperor's majesty. Now the political situation of Datang continues to operate under the shackles of this balance, and there are no big mistakes.

Now Wu Zetian wants to break this balance, and Helan Minzhi wants to assist Wu Zetian to break this balance. But in the end, it was Li Zhi who played a decisive role, and he, the emperor, also wanted to upset the balance. The reason is very simple, this balance now, or this frame of bondage, is not his imperial technique. It's Li Shimin's.

This frame not only restrained Li Shiji and the eldest grandson Wuji, but also constrained Li Zhi's rights the most. Now only by breaking this frame can Li Zhi's power truly reach its peak, which is his purpose. Maybe today's Wu Zetian can't see Li Zhi's true thoughts, but from later generations, Helan Minzhi can see it clearly, which is why he is so confident in his plan Li Shiji, and is extremely sure that Li Shiji will also go according to this plan.
