Chapter 218: Deeds Exposed
If Helan Minzhi could see the scene in front of him, he would definitely say: Look, this is the importance of eunuchs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After countless historical proofs, the closest person to the emperor is not the queen, not the favorite concubine, not the prime minister, or the eunuch. Especially those who grew up with the emperor and watched the emperor grow up, they played various roles as playmates, elders, the closest people, and the most trustworthy people. He was a person who was extremely important to the emperor.
Sometimes one of their words is more effective than a hundred words of the prime minister. Today's words of Wang Laifu completely sealed the possibility of Xu Jingzong's downfall. Even if someone talks about disrespecting Empress Changsun in the future, Li Zhi will not think that it is Xu Jingzong's fault.
After finishing the tea and speaking, Wang Laifuan quietly retreated. On the side of the main hall, he didn't say a word, and he didn't feel anything proud of the huge role he had just played. As if nothing had happened, his shadow merged with the shadow of the pillars of the temple, and the person was as if he did not exist.
Eunuchs are like that, they may not be considered human beings at times. They are just a shadow, a shadow of an emperor in the shadows. Those who understand this meaning can live well. If you don't understand, even if you climb to the highest point, you are destined to fall down quickly in a short time. And Wang Laifu is clear about this, so he can become an evergreen tree in the Tang Empire until the day when he is too old to serve Li Zhi.
The eunuch's way of survival is like this, it seems complicated, but in fact it is extremely simple. But Li Zhi, who was sitting on top of the dragon collapse, was not, as an emperor, he had too many things to consider. Until now, he still didn't know who Xu Jingzong was loyal to, and he didn't even get the slightest news before that Xu Jingzong would propose to abolish the queen today.
Even if the current power of the government is in the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Zhi must not be able to endure this feeling of being deaf and blind.
Every emperor lived in the imperial city, and even if he was a saint, he could not know the affairs of the world without leaving his home. For the major affairs of the world, if the emperor only understands through the minister's recitals, then I am afraid that he will be blinded and will not know the country.
So in later generations, the Ming Dynasty had the terrifying Jinyi Wei and the creepy Dongchang. The Qing Dynasty had blood droplets hidden in the shadows, and there were spies all over the world. The Tang Dynasty also had its own organization, but even the powerful eldest grandson Wuji did not know about it, because this organization was only passed on to the emperor.
It was founded by Li Shimin, worked hard for more than ten years, and finally handed over to Li Zhi. But since he ascended the throne, he has rarely used this institution, because he concluded that the eldest grandson Wuji would not rebel, and the same was true of Li Ji. With these two people here, he was very relieved. The most recent use was in the case of Princess Gao Yang.
If there are people in the clan who are dissatisfied with their ascension to the throne and claim the emperor, Li Zhi believes it. If it is said that Li Ke, the king of Wu, has the intention of rebellion, he also believes it. But when it was said that Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yiai had the intention of rebelling, he didn't believe it in his heart. For his sister, he knew that there were indeed lawlessness in some things. But after all, she was born in a royal family, and she wouldn't know what was untouchable. As for Fang Yiai, Li Zhi almost wanted to laugh, just that guts, if he dares to rebel, I'm afraid there will be no dare in the world.
So he used spies to know everything clearly. The eldest grandson Wuji thought he didn't know, but in fact, he knew it very well, but he didn't say it. It was from that time that he knew that his uncle, who looked so serious and upright, turned out to be so good at planting blame. So many people lost their heads almost overnight, but they were all wronged. As the emperor, he had no choice, he could only cooperate with the eldest grandson Wuji to play this scene. But the seeds of rebellion were planted in my heart.
Just thinking about it, someone outside the main hall said: "Minister, something is going on." ”
Li Zhi waved his hand, and Wang Laifu went down to bring a person. This person is wearing a five-grade official uniform, which seems to be no different from an ordinary official, with a simple and honest face, and there seems to be a little cowardice of a humble official.
For this person, Wang Laifu is not the first time he has seen him. It seems that the official position on the surface is in the Taifu Temple, and it has been some years. But the secret identity is not enough for outsiders.
"The guilty minister greets Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live." As soon as this person came in, he kowtowed to Li Zhi three times in fear, and then waited for his anger. Today he also went to court, knowing that such a big thing had happened, and he didn't know anything about it. In addition to his anger, he was also infinitely worried, and he didn't know how to explain to Li Zhi.
Sure enough, just after the court, Li Zhi's secret decree arrived, summoning him to the palace for an audience.
Li Zhi, who was high up, stared at the person who knelt on the ground in front of him and didn't say a word for a long time. When he saw that the sweat on his forehead had left water stains on the floor, he slowly spoke: "Only this once, not an example." ”
"Minister, thank you, Your Majesty."
For a person like him, if he has the trust of the emperor, he can be powerful and prosperous, and he will live a prosperous life in secret. But once you lose your heart, there is no other way than death. For nothing of his knowledge can be known by any other man.
"Say, what is going on today?"
"His Majesty immediately investigated...... Neither Xu Jingzong nor Li Yifu had anything to do with the palace, and the ministers vouched for their lives. The voice of the kneeling man was still a little trembling, but what he said was unusually firm.
Now it was Li Zhi's turn to be puzzled, he originally thought that Wu Zetian had contacted them, which would lead to today's incident, but it didn't? Although they were not satisfied with this matter, he still did not doubt the strength of the secret agent, and since they dared to guarantee it, it meant that there was absolutely no problem with the news. What the hell is going on......
Although the minister did not find out that the two of them had any contact with the palace, the minister found that both of them had close contacts with Zhaoyi's nephew Helan Minzhi. A few years ago, Helan Minzhi once gave the highest-grade sedan chair produced by his family to Li Yifu for free. Not long ago, the two had a banquet in Four Seasons. And today, Helan Minzhi went to visit Xu Jingzong's house before the next dynasty...... This is a twist, please Your Majesty to take a look. ”
Li Zhi woke up suddenly, and waited until Wang Laifu presented the fold, and then looked at it carefully before putting it down. staring ahead, there seemed to be Helan Minzhi's figure that had not yet grown in his eyes, and he saw what he looked like when he met him for the first time. He Lanminzhi whispered these four words in his mouth.
"I thought that this son was smart enough, but I didn't think that he could be an arm at such an age..."After speaking, he left the bed with a smile and walked in the direction of Penglai Palace. (To be continued.) )
