Chapter 676: Pursuit (4)

Chang'an, thunderstorms. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the flickering night sky, silver snakes flickered.

The wind swept the raindrops, crackling and beating on the green tiles on the roof of Miyagi, suddenly rapid, sometimes slow, and the rhythm changed non-stop.

Wu Zetian was wearing a bright yellow single coat, sitting in the Daming Palace, flipping through the notes sent from Luoyang.

She has been away from Shendu for almost three months, but she has been paying attention to Shendu's every move.

Judging from the current situation, the crown prince Li Xian has done quite well, but sometimes he is very restrained and a little rigid.

However, this has made Wu Zetian very satisfied!

Li Xian's qualifications are not high, to put it mildly, if he is placed in troubled times, he will definitely be the king of the country.

But in the prosperous era, his gentle temperament is just right.

It's just that he's too gentle!

In a strong era, it is not only necessary to know how to be gentle, but also to have tough means. Throughout these three months, Li Xian's regency was quite satisfactory, but at some point, he lacked a trace of toughness, which also made him a little embarrassed.

For example, that Song Jing!

Wu Zetian is very optimistic about this person's talent, and also hopes that Li Xian can take him into his disciples.

However, because Song Jing was closer to Li Dan, the prime minister, he had always maintained a refusal attitude towards Li Xian's solicitation. For this reason, Wu Zetian brought Li Dan from Luoyang to Chang'an, hoping that Li Xian would take the opportunity to recruit him.

But the result ......

Then Song Jing is really desperate for King Xiang!

Wu Zetian shook his head lightly and sighed, feeling quite helpless in his heart.

After fifteen years away from the court, Li Xian has indeed grown. But in some aspects, it seems that there are still some ways that are not as clever as Li Dan's.

After all, Li Dan stayed in the center for eight years, stoic and tenacious.

His method of buying people's hearts can be described as moisturizing things silently, and unconsciously, it makes people feel at home.

At this point, ten Li Xian is not as good as one Li Dan.

Thinking of this, Wu Zetian had a headache. Li Xian can't suppress Li Dan, and sooner or later it will cause disaster! But it has only been three years since Li Xian returned to the center, how can he compare to Li Dan's ten years of operation in Shendu? It's definitely a nuisance.

If this goes on for a long time, even if Li Xian sits on the throne, he is afraid that he will not be able to control the court.

Wu Zetian now regrets that he threw Li Xian to Luling for too long, which made Li Xian's foundation so weak.

If, if Huaiying was still alive, how good would it be?

Wu Zetian was very clear about Di Renjie's intentions at the beginning.

It's a pity that Di Renjie left early, if it can be three years later, no! Even if it is two years, Li Xian's situation will be changed. And now, Li Xian can only rely on his own help, but how far can he go? To be honest, Wu Zetian didn't have a bottom in his heart. There's no way, there's no one around Li Xian! Even if Wu Zetian summoned Zhang Khan Zhi and others to Luoyang...... Di Renjie greatly admired Zhang Cambodia before his death, but in Wu Zetian's opinion, he was always inferior to Li Dan's subordinates.

Yao Chong, Song Jing......

These two people alone are better than the sum of the East Palace family.

Who can help Li Xian?

Outside the Daming Palace, wind and rain are combined, lightning and thunder roar.

Wu Zetian was also a little upset, so he put Song Shu aside, and lay on the phoenix couch on his side, his phoenix eyes slightly closed, thinking about the future.

"Mother, Mother!"

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the Daming Palace.

"Go away, I have something urgent to see my mother, who dare to stop me again, don't blame the ruthlessness of the palace subordinates."

The noise alarmed Wu Zetian.

She sat up from the phoenix couch and said in a deep voice, "Da Nian, let Taiping come in." “

There are not many people who dare to be so unscrupulous in Daming Palace, except for Princess Taiping, Wu Zetian can't think of anyone else.

With her order, Princess Taiping broke into the palace.

"Mother, have you ever seen the newspaper from Dongdu?"

"Huh?"

Wu Zetian beckoned Princess Taiping to sit down, and asked softly, "I haven't had time to read today's Di Bao yet, what's wrong?" “

"Mother, Jiannan Dao is in chaos!"

"I know...... Isn't it the Sib savage who is in rebellion?

Rest assured, the Sibo Savage offensive seems to be ferocious, but in fact the follow-up is weak, so there is no need to worry. Xian Yuyan is not a mediocre talent, and I believe that it will not take too long to turn the tide of the war. If Taiping disturbed me for this matter, he would have made a fuss. “

"Mother, it's not a Sib savage."

"What's that?"

"Flying Crowman, it's Flying Crowman."

Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't there already an arrangement for the matter of Fei Wuman?"

It's a barbarian area, and it's hard to become a climate. I heard that Xian Yuyan has already dispatched men and horses, and I believe that the rebels will be pacified soon. “

"But my daughter heard that Fei Wuman attacked Shehong again."

"Huh?"

"It was Qingzhi 600 miles who sent someone to send a letter urgently, and it is very likely that Yan Fei Wuman has other plans...... There was even collusion with the barbarians of Annam. “

"You mean, Yang Shouwen? The message he sent? ”

Of course, Wu Zetian knew where Yang Shouwen wen's whereabouts...... The escape from prison was originally arranged by the crown prince Li Xian, but I didn't expect Li Bao'er to follow the Qiao family. At first, everyone was worried. But as Yang Shouwen kept secretly sending messages back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If Li Bao'er goes out with others, they may be worried, but with Yang Shouwen......

What's more, even if Li Bao'er is arrested, according to her temperament, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no more incidents.

If you follow Yang Shouwen, you will be more honest.

Wu Zetian said: "What news does Qingzhi have?" “

Princess Taiping said: "Qingzhiyan, Fei Wuman's repeated provocations are definitely not arbitrary.

Moreover, he also received news that since the beginning of the year, Feiwuman has had very close contacts with the Hebarian tribe under the rule of the Protectorate of Annam.

Therefore, if you don't pay attention to it, it is likely to cause chaos. “

"Get the map."

Wu Zetian stood up, bypassed the long case, and shouted in a deep voice.

After a while, the chamberlain Zhang Danian came in with a few little eunuchs and hung a map in the Daming Palace.

Wu Zetian stepped forward, and Princess Taiping hurriedly held a candle flame and walked over.

The two glanced at the map a few times, and Wu Zetian returned to the bookcase, and from a pile of notes, he turned out the newspaper sent from the Eastern Capital.

In the Di newspaper, she found out about Jiannan Road.

A pair of moth eyebrows frowned, phoenix eyes closed slightly, and after she finished reading it, she slammed the newspaper on the case.

"The prince is too cautious in his handling.

Now that the matter has come to this point, how can it be dealt with the words 'settle down as soon as possible'? There are many powerful chiefs in Jiannan Province, many clans, and huge power. The imperial court has never had a good excuse to enter Jiannan Dao, and now is the opportunity, how can it be missed? “

Wu Zetian wandered on the main hall, and after a long time, he stopped and looked at Princess Taiping.

"Taiping, what do you think?"

"In the daughter's opinion, the imperial court should immediately send one person into Sichuan to put down the rebellion."

"So, do you have the right person?"

"This ......"

Princess Taiping was silent!

Jiannan Dao is so chaotic now, ordinary people go over, I'm afraid it will be difficult to solve.

Because, she could hear the meaning of Wu Zetian's words. Quelling the rebellion is small, and taking the opportunity to weaken the power of the local powerful clans is the real goal. But how can ordinary people solve this kind of thing? I don't have a lot of real talent, I don't have some means, and it's hard to do anything when I go there. To put it mildly, Jiannan Road is a big pit.

Of course, Princess Taiping also has talents under her subordinates, but she is unwilling to let her people go to the southwest to suffer.

Wu Zetian glanced at her and suddenly called Zhang Danian.

"Spread my will, and return to the divine capital after dawn."

"Huh?"

When Zhang Danian heard this, he couldn't help but be caught off guard, and he was stunned at that time.

And Wu Zetian said angrily: "What, don't you understand? “

"Understand, understand, the slave will arrange it."

"Mother, do you want to go back to Shendu immediately?"

Princess Taiping looked puzzled and looked at Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian said: "The prince is too cautious, and his prestige is insufficient, and it is difficult to deter the court.

This is the best time for the imperial court to take control of the southwest, and I must not let go of this opportunity. Taiping, come and draft the decree on my behalf. “

"Yes."

Princess Taiping was also a little panicked this time.

She couldn't understand how Wu Zetian was going to deal with this matter, so she hurriedly bypassed the book case and made preparations.

"The turmoil in the southwest and the displacement of the people are my fault.

Jiannan Dao made Xian Yuyan to resist the Sibo savages, and contributed to the imperial court. However, Xian Yu Yanjing has been in the south of the sword for ten years, and he has sat back and watched Feiwu become bigger, but he didn't realize it, and he couldn't escape the blame. Since I ascended the throne, those who have meritorious service have been rewarded, and those who have done wrong have been punished, and the merits have been clearly distinguished.

Therefore, there must be no mistake in temporarily deposing Xian from his post as the envoy of Yan Jingluo, ordering the capital to supervise the soldiers and horses, and pacifying the rebellious army of Xiboye.

Ren Jinghui was a southwestern pawn, engaged in military affairs, and appeased the righteous barbarians.

If there are people with ill intentions, the assassin can be executed without reporting to the imperial court.

He served as the head of the march on the southwest road of Yang Shouwen, and supervised the soldiers and horses of Zizhou, Luzhou, Jinzhou, Jianzhou, Hanzhou, Suizhou, and Zizhou, and pacified the flying barbarians. “

The Chief of the Southwest Road March?

When Princess Taiping heard about this official position, she couldn't help but be shocked.

This position of marching commander was the most popular in the early Tang Dynasty, and the power was huge.

Yang Shouwen was only double ten, so he was the head of the march...... Fortunately, Wu Zetian later added another sentence to supervise the military of the eight states, which can be regarded as making Princess Taiping react. She glanced at Wu Zetian, and immediately finished drafting the holy decree according to what Wu Zetian said.

Wu Zetian stepped forward, stamped the jade seal on the holy decree, and called the inner servant and ordered him to be sent to Zizhou for 600 miles overnight.

"Taiping, do you want to return to the Divine Capital with me?"

Princess Taiping hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Mother, the king of that prime minister ......"

"On the side of King Xiang, I have my own arrangements.

Chopping rampant Mobei, several times Koubian...... In addition, this year's drought in the north of the desert, the water and grass are not abundant, and many cattle and sheep have died. In terms of Youzhou, there is no need to worry for the time being, but the situation in the state is a little complicated. Zhang Rengan's lonely palm is difficult to speak, and someone needs to help. Therefore, I prepared to appoint the prime minister Wang as the general manager of the march of the state and assist Zhang Rengan. “

"Daughter, understood!"

Princess Taiping took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "There is nothing important about Chang'an, so my daughter will go back to clean up and return to Shendu with her mother after dawn." ”

"Very good!"

After Wu Zetian finished speaking, he bypassed the long case and sat down on the phoenix couch.

And Princess Taiping left Daming Palace in a state of uneasiness, she vaguely had an intuition: Mother is going to attack the court! (To be continued.) )
