Chapter 144: Empress Wu's Strategy

But said that the Empress Wu's hatred of Pei Xingjian is actually not a year or two, when the Empress Wu planned to abolish Wang Liwu, Pei Xingjian was the Chang'an Order, he was deeply worried about this, thinking that the country's troubles began from here, and conspired with the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others to prevent this matter, but was the Empress Wu's cronies, Yuan Gongyu of Dali Temple reported to the mother of the afternoon, Mrs. Yang, the Empress Wu was furious when she heard the news, and instigated Gaozong to demote him to the governor of Xizhou.

Later, Pei Xingjian made more meritorious contributions in Xizhou, accumulated merit and was promoted to the protector of Anxi, most of the countries in the Western Regions admired his virtue and attached to the Tang Dynasty, because he made such a great achievement, Gaozong disregarded the dissuasion of the Empress Wu, and forcibly summoned Pei Xingjian into the court, worshiped as a servant of the Ministry of Officials, and Li Jingxuan, Ma Zai and others presided over the selection of officials for a long time.

However, because of Empress Wu's jealousy, Pei Xingjian's position was not promoted for many years, until this Western Xinjiang Mutiny, Gaozong wanted Pei Xingjian to replace Li Jingxuan's position, so he ignored Empress Wu's opposition and appointed Pei Xingjian to fight and quell the Turkic rebellion.

Now Pei Xingjian has lived up to Gaozong's expectations, and he has indeed won a big victory, and it is such a rare victory, Gaozong is naturally very relieved and laughs.

Empress Wu was extremely angry in her heart, but she didn't show it in front of Gaozong, but after returning to the palace, the anger in her heart immediately exploded.

"Pass Pei Yan to see me." Empress Wu knew that Pei Yan was deeply trusted by Gaozong, and at the same time, Pei Yan was still a cronie she secretly cultivated, plus although Pei Yan and Pei Xingjian were from their own family, they had secret contradictions, so if you want to deal with Pei Xingjian, Pei Yan is definitely the best candidate.

After a while, Pei Yan came to the palace of the Empress Wu, only to hear Pei Yan salute in a respectful voice: "Weichen Pei Yan has seen the queen of heaven, but I don't know what the queen of heaven is calling, what is the matter?" ”

Empress Wu said lightly: "It's not for him, but for your family." Pei Aiqing, your own Pei Xingjian is now extraordinarily proud, and has achieved a glorious record through the ages, hehe, I am afraid that from now on, when people talk about the most prominent person in the Pei family in Hedong, the first thing that comes to mind will definitely be Pei Xingjian, not you Pei Shilang. ”

Empress Wu's words really hit Pei Yan's soft underbelly, I saw Pei Yan's face change, and said in a deep voice: "Pei Xingjian's guy is just luck, if it weren't for the confrontation between General Cheng Wuting and the Turkic army, how could he take advantage of the loophole and get this great achievement?" It's just that the Turkic Ashina and others were afraid of Pei Xingjian's power, and they suddenly surrendered, not necessarily out of sincerity, and they must not spare their lives. ”

Naturally, the Empress Wu also knew the meaning of the string song, and after listening to Pei Yan's words, she naturally knew the other party's intentions, and immediately laughed and said: "Pei Shilang really hit the nail on the head, and hit the nail on the head, Ai Qing and rest assured that this palace knows what to do." ”

After finishing speaking, Empress Wu waved his hand and asked Pei Yan to retreat.

After a while, Empress Wu ordered Wei Tuan'er to invite Ming Chongyan.

After a while, Ming Chongyan came to the palace, and seeing that Empress Wu looked tired, he hurriedly stepped forward to massage him, and then asked gently, "What are you worried about?" Could it be because Pei Xingjian snatched the credit of Cheng Wuting? ”

Empress Wu gently stroked Ming Chongyan's head, and said with a smile: "This little thing is not worth worrying about in this palace, having a Pei Yan is enough to solve it, what I am most distressed about now is that the war has been fought, and Xian'er is about to be a teacher, but the matter of the prince has not been resolved, if Xian'er comes back, the two brothers will be together again, and you and I have been planning for so long, wouldn't it be in vain to be full of hard work?" ”

Ming Chongyan smiled lightly when he heard this: "You can rest assured that you only need to issue an edict, saying that although the Garqin Mausoleum has retreated, the main force is still there, in order to avoid its sneak attack again, the king of Zhou needs to send troops to garrison for several months, so that the king of Zhou naturally can't shirk it, and the prince's matter is actually already done enough foreplay at present, the net is open, and the net can be closed with just an order, hehe, a few days ago I spread rumors in the palace, saying that this son is not your own son, but was born to Mrs. Han, the prince is already suspicious, and his heart is afraid, **** borrowed wine in the palace to eliminate sorrows, spent all day drinking, and was no longer worthy of being the prince. ”

"Huh? Could it be that this guy is deliberately obscure, so he pretends to be a fool, but secretly plans behind the scenes? The Empress Wu still didn't believe it when she heard this, and said to Ming Chongyan.

But seeing Ming Chongyan laughed and said: "At the beginning, the prince did have the idea of Tao Hui, but now he has already been deeply trapped in it and can't extricate himself, in addition, I also heard that the prince actually has a habit of breaking sleeves, and a slave named Zhao Daosheng did such a thing, alas, the prince himself does not have the appearance of a son of heaven, he is frivolous, and it is expected that he can have today." ”

In the end, Ming Chongyan's mouth turned out to be a long sigh, but this sigh did not have a trace of melancholy, but some schadenfreude.

Empress Wu snorted lightly when she heard this, and then said: "I didn't expect the prince to be so shallow, it's really disappointing, but you'd better get real evidence, so that we can depose the prince with his virtue, but the emperor is soft-hearted, even so, I'm afraid you and I will not be able to fulfill my wish, therefore, we had better be able to find out his crime of rebellion, in this case, even the emperor can't protect him." ”

Ming Chongyan pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "This matter is not difficult to do, I immediately started to deploy, I believe that it will not be long before the evidence of the prince's rebellion will be held in his hands, and you can rest assured that within two months, the prince will inevitably leave the East Palace gloomily." ”

"Okay, in this way, the palace will entrust you with the prince's affairs, and people are so devoted to you, you have to treat it as a big thing, don't shirk it, otherwise, I, I, I really don't know how to deal with myself......" Speaking of this, a trace of coquettishness appeared on the face of the martial queen.

"Hehe, when did I not take your affairs as a top priority?" Ming Chongyan received the signal from Empress Wu, and suddenly there were ripples in his heart, and his hands couldn't help but wander among the peaks, and even his breathing became heavy, so the whole palace became very ambiguous, and a war that only belonged to men and women was quietly staged......
