Chapter 120: Helan Minzhi's poisonous plan
In March of the third year of the Tang Dynasty, due to the great drought in the world, Gaozong ordered an amnesty to the world and changed the yuan to Xianheng.
Although the emperor, empress, crown prince, Li Xian and others were all worried about the drought, Helan Minzhi did not have the slightest pity, but relied on the protection of his grandmother and made trouble everywhere.
But Li Xian didn't know that Helan Minzhi was carefully planning a conspiracy under the cover of a nonsense appearance.
Now the crown prince Li Hong is eighteen years old and has reached the age of marriage, so after Gaozong's careful selection, it was determined that the daughter of Yang Sijian, Shaoqing of Nasiwei, would be the concubine.
It turns out that this Yang Sijian was born in the Hongnong Yang family, and Mrs. Rongguo is a close branch, but he is an upright person, and he is friendly with the prince, and he was once the prince's middle house, so he is very dissatisfied with the dictatorship of the Empress Wu, if he can let his daughter marry the prince, it will definitely boost the power of the prince, thus restricting the dictatorship of the Empress Wu.
You must know that Siwei Temple is the original Weiwei Temple, in charge of the arsenal of the two capitals, once Yang Sijian becomes Li Hong's father-in-law, it is equivalent to being able to organize a well-equipped army at any time, which is too much of a threat to the Empress Wu!
Empress Wu was naturally very dissatisfied with this, but there was nothing she could do to go, because Gaozong directly gave her marriage without her consent, and it was impossible to take back her fate.
"Hmph, Hong'er's guy has become more and more proud in the past few years, and I don't even care about his mother anymore, if this goes on like this, won't even I have to be controlled by others?"
Empress Wu couldn't help but think of the past few years, as Li Hong grew older, he had made various moves to gain fame and buy people's hearts everywhere.
"After Helan Minyue's slut died, my sister Wu Shun was lucky not to die, and the saint continued to stay in the palace, I originally wanted to find a chance to figure it, but somehow I was learned by that guy, I didn't expect that guy didn't help his mother, he actually wrote to me directly, I want to read in the family, it's not easy to pity his orphans and widows, take care of my sister, in case there are three long and two short, I'm afraid I have no shame to face the old lady, and it is this letter that arouses Helan Minzhi's suspicion of me, this son turned his elbow outward, which is really hateful, and this crime is also."
Every time Empress Wu thought about this, she couldn't help but be angry, and she was even more curious how Li Hong learned about this matter, but in fact, where did she know? All of this is actually a ghost made by his well-behaved son Li Xian, if it weren't for Li Xian's instruction to "inadvertently" reveal the news of Empress Wu's plot to assassinate Wu Shun to the eunuchs around Li Hong, how could Li Hong know the inside story?
Empress Wu naturally didn't know this, she sat there and continued to think about the "evil deeds" of the crown prince Li Hong in the past few years: "When the Goguryeo was conquered, a large number of soldiers were recruited by the imperial court, and the fugitives and those who did not meet the deadline were all executed, and the family members also had to be enslaved, but the guy was sparse to the saint, and he took pity on those who were seated together, and was ordered by the saint to exempt the families of those fugitive soldiers from the crime of sitting together, and earned enough prestige for himself, and the most hateful thing is that I was also trying to go to the saint in this matter, but I was robbed by this guy." ”
If that's all there is to it, what worries the Empress Wu is that the prince uses his studious name to entrap many scribes in the Hongwen Pavilion, not only writing books and sayings, but also forming a party for personal gain, in the first year of the general chapter, in order to win the hearts of the world's scholars, the emperor is sparse, and asks for posthumous gifts to the Confucian sage Yan Hui as the prince and young master, and Zeng Shen as the prince and young guard, that is, to worship these two as teachers, and then the emperor not only agreed, but also praised him.
In addition, this guy used his status as a prisoner of the country, and also bypassed himself many times and handled the government privately, which is also the most jealous of the Empress Wu.
It is precisely because of these reasons that Empress Wu has to find a way to weaken the power of the crown prince, especially to find a way to destroy Li Hong's marriage.
Empress Wu thought hard for a long time, but there was no countermeasure, just at this time she heard from the mouth of the personal maid that Helan Minzhi wanted to be rude to the peace, so she frowned, and after some preparations, she asked people to go to find Helan Minzhi the next day.
Although Helan Minzhi was dissatisfied with Empress Wu and suspected that Empress Wu had killed his sister, after all, he was hot-headed in the first few days and almost broke into a catastrophe, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, so if it was the usual call of Empress Wu, he might have ignored it, but this time he came obediently.
As soon as Empress Wu saw Helan Minzhi coming, her face was immediately covered with a smile, as if she didn't know about the peace, she affectionately took Helan Minzhi's hand and asked for warmth, and then led Helan Minzhi into the secret room, and then her face suddenly changed, and she shouted at Helan Minzhi: "Zhi'er, you are so bold, you dare to be rude to my daughter!" Do you know how much trouble you've caused this time? ”
Unexpectedly, He Lanminzhi said coldly: "This matter is indeed my doing, but I am just scaring my cousin, and I have no other intention, don't you think I really want to do anything to her, right?" If I really wanted to do it, how could she be spared? ”
In fact, what Helan Minzhi wanted to say was: "What if I really do it?" I'm just using your daughter temporarily, but it's far from compensating you for killing my sister. ”
However, considering that Empress Wu would definitely turn his face on the spot and kill him, Helan Minzhi didn't dare to say this, but he didn't know that whether he said it or not, from the moment he suspected Empress Wu of killing his sister, he was destined to die in the future.
Of course, Empress Wu won't kill him yet, because he still has use value, and even more because of his mother's affection, he won't die for a while.
Therefore, Empress Wu didn't care about his attitude, but said with a pleasant face: "Although I know this, but others don't think so, some people seem to have a deep hatred with you, and they have to put you to death, this is a concerto, you can take a look at it first." ”
After finishing speaking, Empress Wu threw a piece of music to Helan Minyi and said lightly.
He Lan Minzhi opened it and looked at it, but found that this piece was written by the crown prince, pointing out that he He Lan Minzhi had a series of misdeeds, including having an affair with his grandmother and trying to mistreat Princess Taiping, and pointed out that the natural disaster was actually caused by He Lan Minzhi's anger and resentment, and asked the emperor to severely punish him to thank the world.
Seeing this recital, Helan Minzhi couldn't help but gasp, because in the prince's recital, all the piles accusing him of being true are true, and these things add up to hundreds of things, if he really wants to punish the crime, he is afraid that even if he has ten lives, he will still be finished. I really don't know how the prince knows himself so thoroughly, which shows that this person is bent on putting himself to death.
"Auntie, you know, these are all frames, although the son is messing around, but he has never done anything against the law, and the nephew doesn't know how to offend the prince's wife, and he was so falsely accused." At this time, Helan Minzhi didn't know that except for Empress Wu and Li Xian, there was no one in this world who had such a sufficient intelligence system to investigate his affairs in such detail, and Li Xian was a little Helan Minzhi, and it was impossible to expose his strength, and he thought that this letter was really done by the prince, so he had to cry bitterly, accusing the prince of false accusations, and there was no other way.
But seeing the martial queen, he sighed and said slowly: "That guy has always been hypocritical and righteous, earning fame for himself, this time in order to gain fame, he did not hesitate to accuse his cousin, this kind of behavior is really outrageous, it is precisely because of this that I quietly intercepted his music and did not let it pass to the emperor, but you also know that the emperor's character is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, once he really makes a decision, even his aunt is helpless." In fact, you don't have to worry about this crisis, after all, my aunt will bear it for you, but it's hard to prevent that guy from having a next time, if that guy directly hands the chapter to the emperor, even my aunt can't help. ”
Helan Minzhi suddenly fell silent when he heard this, thought for a moment, and suddenly a hatred appeared in his eyes, and then said to the Empress Wu: "He is neither benevolent, nor am I righteous, the prince bullied the door, even if the nephew is not an opponent, he will not sit still, he will definitely fight him to the death, but the nephew is now in a mess, hesitant to do nothing, I don't know if the aunt is willing to help the nephew, the aunt is kind, the nephew is toothless and unforgettable, and he will be rewarded in the future." ”
The Empress Wu naturally didn't believe that Helan Minzhi would have anything in return, but this did not prevent the Empress Wu from helping Helan Min, in fact, she had already made up her mind about this matter, but she still pretended to think hard, and thought for a long time before saying: "There is one thing that I don't know, do you know, the emperor has married the daughter of Siwei Shaoqing Yang Sijian to the prince, I heard that this woman has national colors, and the prince also likes it very much......"
"Zhi'er knows what to do, and my aunt can rest assured that this time Zhi'er will definitely satisfy my aunt." Helan Minzhi didn't wait for Empress Wu to finish speaking, he gave up his hand, and then walked away.
Helan Minzhi was also proud after leaving the palace, and secretly thought: "I didn't expect that I, Helan Minzhi, would have such a glamorous blessing, but it's no wonder, who made me look so handsome and charming, not to mention that the prince was too deceitful, and this is also what he should compensate me, but this matter should also be thought about, after all, the little lady surnamed Yang will become the crown princess in the future, if I don't have enough means, how can she let me fulfill my wish?" ”
After thinking about it, Helan Minzhi finally came up with an idea, but he didn't think the idea was perfect enough, and then thought carefully for a while, then raised his eyebrows, and said with a sneer: "Li Xianxiao'er, last time the master begged you in a low voice, but you treated him like this, don't blame the master for hurting people with secret arrows today, this time I set up a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone, not only to take revenge on Li Hong Xiao'er, but also to frame you, when the time comes, you will get into trouble, and you can't wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River, see if you are still proud?"
