On the sixteenth day of the first month of the first year of the Tang Dynasty, just after the Shangyuan Festival, there should be a group of joy in Luoyang City, but those who have a heart can see that what this group of joy covers is a bleak cloud of sorrow. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now the situation in the whole world is chaotic, whether it is the people in the Hou Party, or Li Xian's Imperial Party, or even the neutral ministers, they are all worried, and they don't know when this chaos in the Tang Dynasty will be completely calmed down.

As the head of the neutral faction who has won the trust and respect of the Empress Wu, Di Renjie, who is currently a waiter in the Ministry of Works and a member of the Tongzhong Shumen, cannot be calm in his heart.

Although he has always been trusted by the Empress Wu, and at the same time, he has always been grateful to the Empress Wu for continuously improving his official position, and even for his worship of the prime minister, and he has also decided in his heart that he must be loyal to the Empress Wu and do his best to do his part, but after the Empress Wu was wrongfully imprisoned, the balance in his heart gradually tilted towards Li Xian.

After all, he is a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, he eats the Tang Dynasty's Yulu, and the current Son of Heaven is surnamed Li, besides, today's son is not an incompetent person, his cultural and martial arts are all good, so he thinks that although there is the edict of the former emperor in hand, the Empress Dowager Wu should also return the power to today's son.

Fortunately, this day finally came, and the Queen Mother promised to return the power to the Son of Heaven on this day, and from then on, the government came out of the door of the Son of Heaven, and the name was justified, and those rebels had no excuse to rebel, and the world could finally be peaceful.

But can the world really settle down completely? Is the Empress Wu really willing to give up the power in her hands? Although Di Renjie's heart was looking forward to the development of things in the direction he wanted, he was sure that Empress Wu would definitely not do this.

Di Renjie is an upright person, sometimes he is too principled in doing things, and he seems to be a little old-fashioned, but he is a real wise man, according to the character of the Empress Wu and the secret actions of the past few days, he can basically conclude that the Empress Wu will never let go easily, and even all this may just be a strategy of hers, that is, to take this opportunity to trap Li Jingye and other rebels to completely solve the troubles, as long as those rebels are wiped out, there is no longer the power to shout for Li Xian in the local area, and she can do whatever she wants at that time.

"But the Queen Mother also underestimates Your Majesty, with my understanding of Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not be unguarded against this, and it is even very likely that she has already had a countermeasure, alas, this pair of mother and son are fighting, I don't know who is the winner in the end, but I hope that Your Majesty can achieve the final victory, otherwise, once the Queen Mother wins, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be difficult to see, and if the Prime Minister becomes the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that the world will really change the dynasty." Di Renjie sighed secretly in his heart, and made a decision in his heart, this time the mother and son are fighting, if the new emperor Li Xian's side has an obvious advantage, then it will be fine, and if the two sides are evenly matched, or Li Xian's side occupies a disadvantage, he is indispensable to secretly help Li Xian, even if he exposes himself because of this, he has no regrets.

On the top of the main hall, Yin Chengze, the personal attendant of the Empress Wu, was pulling the voice of the male duck, reciting the edict of the Empress Wu loudly, and proposed to return the power to the new emperor Li Xian.

However, at the same time, Empress Wu also advised the new emperor Li Xian, in view of the complexity of the current court situation and the chaos in the world, the most important thing to do at present is to stabilize the situation, so Empress Wu suggested that Li Xian should do two things at this time, one is to issue an order to recruit peace, let the righteous soldiers who raise troops lay down their arms, disarm and return to the field, and at the same time reward and appease the leaders who raised the matter; The second is to try not to interfere in the government affairs, especially the existing prime minister's team, and try not to move, so as not to cause trouble again.

Li Xian smiled when he heard this, and was silent, but when he returned to the inner palace after the martial arts, when he moved to Zhongshu Province to discuss the matter, he did not appease the rebellious forces, but first proposed to expel the cool officials Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen and others, and rehabilitated Zhaoxue for the officials who were wronged in prison and the members of the clan who were killed, so that the living could rest assured, and the dead could rest assured, and at the same time proposed to adjust the prime minister's team, and ask the prime ministers who made wrong decisions, such as Liu Qixian, Wei Xuan, and others. At the same time, he proposed to let his father-in-law Zhao Gui be a servant, in addition to a series of other official appointment recommendations.

Li Xian's measures were naturally resolutely opposed by Pei Yan and others, only to hear Pei Yan say loudly: "At the beginning, the Queen Mother had an edict asking Her Majesty to strive for stability, and now Your Majesty does not say a word about today's chaos, but comes up to propose to rehabilitate your cronies, and promote those who have no real talent and learning, it is really a big disappointment, when Your Majesty listened to the government with the Queen Mother for two months, the old minister thought that His Majesty had learned steadily, but now he found that His Majesty's political experience is too far away, alas, I knew this earlier, At the beginning, the old minister did not persuade the Queen Mother to return the power to His Majesty. ”

"Oh? According to Pei Xiang's meaning, could it be that I can only be regarded as a stable emperor at the mercy of Ren Er and others, as long as I have my own opinions, it is immature? Hehe, Pei Yan, you are really bold, you dare to bully the king like this, lawless, don't you think that you are old, I can't move you? Come on, drag Pei Yan down for me and beat me with twenty sticks! Li Xian was furious, and immediately ordered Pei Yan to be dragged out and beaten again.

But I saw Pei Yan shouting loudly: "I am the minister of the first emperor, who dares to touch me?" The reason why I led the ministers and helped His Majesty to assist the government is to serve the edict of the first emperor, although His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, but he must also abide by the last instructions of the first emperor, I want to see today, who dares to touch a hair of my hair! ”

Li Xian was not moved at all, and shouted: "What are you still doing? Can't I hear my commands? ”

"Yes." Immediately, I saw two guards come forward, dragged Pei Yan and went to Zetianmen, beat him involuntarily, and then threw it to the ground again like a dead dog.

When Pei Yan was dragged out, all the prime ministers in the political hall were stupid on the spot, and when they reacted, they found that Pei Yan was on the ground like a dead dog.

At this time, almost all of them shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, how can you treat Pei Xiang like this?" This is my prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also the minister appointed by the first emperor, but His Majesty is blatantly violating the edict of the first emperor, where does he want to put the first emperor? ”

But he didn't expect Li Xian to speak even more amazingly, hehe sneered: "Edict? Do you and I don't know or what? Pei Yan, you pretended to be a testament, took the opportunity to seize power, you have already committed a taboo, and today you even dare to be powerful, and you have bullied me, if you don't teach you a lesson, I really can't do it?
