Chapter 706: Chuzhou Omen
readx; At the beginning of the night, a carriage drove out of the Daming Palace, and dozens of guards outside the Daming Palace greeted at the same time, the carriage was wide and luxurious, a lantern was hung on the top of the door, and under the orange light, the three black characters of 'Xiangguo Zhang' were particularly dazzling. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is the carriage of Zhang Yun of the right Xiangguo, he has just gone down to the court, ready to go back to his mansion, after a busy day, Zhang Yun seems a little tired, is closing his eyes against the wall of the car and pretending to sleep, the carriage turned a corner, entered Suzaku Street, then he suddenly remembered something, and ordered: "Don't go back to the house for the time being, go to Pei Shilang's mansion." ”
Pei Shilang is also the official Lang Pei Min, and at the same time the official worship of the prince and young master, although he is a squire into the phase, but his qualifications in the seven phases are second only to Zhang Yun, back then, he is the right minister of the court, the dynasty is in danger, he is responsible for the overall situation, won wide praise from the court, even Zhang Yun sometimes jealous of his prestige.
But today he went to Pei Min's mansion, there is a major event and Pei Min to discuss, this afternoon Pei Min was a little sick, and returned home early, but not long after he returned to the house, Chuzhou Taishou Cui Yu went to Beijing to offer treasures, offering Dingguo Baoyu Xuanhuang Tianfu and other thirteen treasures, which is an old nun in Dinghui Nunnery in Chuzhou found when she was fetching water in the well, a total of thirteen treasures, all of which are rare treasures in the world.
What's even more surprising is that the second Baoyu jade chicken is engraved with a line of words, Baoyu out, the world is decided, and the third Baoyu Gubi is also engraved with a line of words, Baoyu is now, and the saint is out.
The handwriting is simple, it can be seen that it has a history of at least a hundred years, this incident immediately caused a sensation in the imperial court, this is not the kind of fake Ruizhao some time ago, Li Bai, a scholar of Hallym University and a doctor of Guozixue, recognized these thirteen pieces of jade, which should be the private treasure of Zhang Lihua, the concubine of the Chen Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River in the early Sui Dynasty, and was called the thirteen Ruyi Lang.
After the Sui Dynasty generals He Ruobi and Han Baohu broke through the Chen Dynasty, Zhang Lihua and Chen Houzhu were captured at the same time, but these thirteen treasures are missing, after more than 100 years, they actually appeared in the well of the nunnery in Chuzhou, and all the ministers deduced that Chuzhou is not far from Jinling, the capital of the Chen Dynasty, which must be the palace maid or other concubines who stole this treasure when the city was broken, and hid in the Dinghui Nunnery as a nun, Baoyu stayed in the nunnery, and today, after a hundred years, it finally came out.
As for the handwriting on the jade, it is very likely that it was engraved at that time in order to echo Emperor Wen of Sui's determination of the world, but somehow, these thirteen pieces of jade were not available at that time, and now they are actually available, which surprised everyone in the court and the central government, and they all thought that this was a sign of something.
In fact, what it portends, everyone knows it, this is also what everyone is looking forward to, the Tang Dynasty has no holy lord for a long time, Li Qing is stable and the country is safe, young and promising, if he ascends the throne, it should be the guarantee of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, which is in line with the trend and the general trend.
Now Zhang Yun is thinking about how to help Li Qing'an ascend the throne smoothly, throw peaches to hug Li, and repay him for his kindness to himself, the appearance of Baoyu in Chuzhou is undoubtedly the best opportunity, so that he can mobilize the government and the opposition to create public opinion for Li Qing'an's accession to the throne.
Today is the last day of Zhang Yun's writing for the consul, and tomorrow it will be Pei Min's turn, and today he went to Pei Min's mansion, not only to explain the unfinished business in his hands, but also to discuss with him about the appearance of Baoyu.
The carriage drove into Chongrenfang and stopped in front of Pei Min's mansion, Zhang Yun got out of the carriage, and Pei's family had already gone to report it, and Pei Min greeted him.
"Zhang Xiangguo is very honored to come to the Humble House!"
"Hey! Young Master Pei is ashamed of me! Zhang Yun smiled bitterly, and said to him with concern: "Young Master Pei is not feeling well, so don't go out." ”
"I came back for a nap and I was already in a lot better."
Pei Min warmly invited Zhang Yun into the mansion, the two came to the study and sat down, the maid served fragrant tea, Zhang Yun smiled and said: "Tomorrow is the young master on duty, and I will explain some things today." ”
Pei Min was a little surprised in his heart, usually this kind of handover of the ruling affairs is done in the political affairs hall, how did he come to his house today, he was surprised, but his face was silent, Pei Min smiled slightly, "Is there anything important?" ”
"Young Master Pei still doesn't know about the treasure in Chuzhou!" Zhang Yun's eyes were fixed on Pei Mindao.
Pei Min was unwell, he fell asleep when he returned home, he just woke up, and he didn't know about it, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Chuzhou treasure, what's going on?" ”
Zhang Yun told him in detail about the treasure in Chuzhou, and finally said: "This matter has spread all over the government and the opposition, and it will soon be full of wind and rain in the city. ”
Pei Min only then learned about the treasure, isn't this Li Qingan's ruizhao? The genuine Ruizhao, Pei Min also understood what Zhang Yun meant, and asked him to make good use of this matter to make a fuss and push public opinion up, from Pei Min's original intention, he also hoped that Li Qingan could ascend the throne, and they all agreed that if Li Qingan ascended the throne, it would be comparable to Taizong.
The rebellion in the Tang Dynasty is largely due to the loss of control of military power, and now the clan has been greatly weakened, no matter which clan ascends the throne, it cannot control the army, only Li Qingan, only he can firmly control the army in the center of the government and the opposition, there is an army to defend the country, coupled with political clarity, the Tang Dynasty Zhongxing can be waited.
But Pei Min has a little selfishness, he hopes to have a good talk with Li Qing'an, it can even be said to be a negotiation, and the political hall will negotiate with him, hoping that he can clarify the boundary between the monarch's power and power, and can maintain the current power structure of the political hall.
Pei Min's idea was supported by Yan Zhenqing and Guo Ziyi, but when he talked to Cui Ning about this matter last night, he was poured a basin of cold water by Cui Ning, saying that he was a scholar, how could he bargain with Li Qingan, if that was the case, there would be only one ending, dissolve the political affairs hall.
Pei Min thought about it all night last night, although he also knew that their current political affairs hall was actually arranged by Li Qing'an, how could they be qualified to bargain with Li Qing'an, but he really hoped that Datang would not have a situation where the monarchy would read talents again, which would only lead to another decline of Datang.
The prosperity of the Kaiyuan period, but when it came to Tianbao, it declined sharply, what is the reason? There are many reasons, the government military system is corrupt, and the land annexation is too strong, these are all appearances, and the collapse of the system is the main reason, that is, Li Longji set up the power of the prime minister in the later period, and the imperial power overrides everything.
It is precisely for this reason that the power of the three provinces is in vain, the power has no supervision, there is no restraint, Li Linfu under the instruction of Li Longji, began to create one appalling case after another, the power struggle was fierce, the government was barren, all kinds of shortcomings that were not very serious quickly expanded, more and more serious, the entire Tang Dynasty began to rot from the roots, the whole body was rotten, so Du Fu denounced, Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there were frozen bones on the road.
He hopes that after Li Qing'an ascends the throne, he can draw a clear line between the monarchy and the power, so that he is desperate and will support Li Qing'an to ascend the throne.
At this time, when Zhang Yun implicitly expressed to him that he wanted to use Chuzhou to make a treasure and pave the way for public opinion on Li Qing'an's accession to the throne, Pei Min was a little hesitant for a while, he wanted to wait for Li Qing'an to come back, and then everyone would sit together and discuss it.
"Zhang Xiangguo, let's wait for His Highness to come back!"
"Why?" Zhang Yun was a little stunned, "Young Marshal Pei, don't you support His Highness's accession to the throne?" ”
"It's not that I don't support it, I hope that the political hall can talk to him again and clarify the power of the political hall in the future."
Zhang Yun understood, he seemed to have heard that Pei Min and Yan Zhenqing had talked in private, and it was best for the political hall to have a negotiation with Li Qingan.
The corners of Zhang Yun's mouth showed a mocking smile, "What if the political hall can't talk to him?" Is Young Master Pei not ready to support him to ascend the throne, but to support someone else's accession to the throne instead? If so, who does Pei Shaoshuai intend to support to ascend to the throne? ”
"This ....." Pei Min was a little dumbfounded by the question.
Zhang Yun said again: "Young Master Pei, please forgive me for saying bluntly, if it weren't for His Royal Highness King Zhao to support this Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty would have been torn apart, An Lushan would have already entered Guanzhong to claim the emperor, the Hu people drank the Central Plains, and the Han people were devastated, you and I would have already become a dry bone in the loess, or grovel under An Lushan's knees, do we still have any political affairs to discuss military affairs?" Pei Shaoshuai, I don't know if you have thought about it, a country cannot be without a king, this is the way of heaven, but the Tang Dynasty has been without a king for a long time, why can it run smoothly? That's because His Royal Highness King Zhao has already taken on the responsibility of king, isn't it? He is already the de facto Emperor His Majesty, but he does not have the title of saint, and what we have to do today is to give him a proper name. ”
"But there is an emperor and a queen mother in the Tang Dynasty, how can it be said that there has been no monarch for a long time?"
Pei Min admitted that Li Qing'an was the national pillar of the Tang Dynasty, but he was very dissatisfied with Zhang Yun's words that he had no king, and he could not deny the existence of the Tang Emperor because of Li Qing'an's role.
"That two-year-old kid? Hum! I heard that I also wet the bed. ”
Zhang Yun's tone was full of contempt for the little emperor, "Young Master Pei, I'm afraid that you are the only one in the court who is the emperor, the three provinces of the imperial court, six departments, nine temples and five superintendents, and thousands of officials and ministers, who really supports a two-year-old child to be the emperor?" Can he save Datang from peril? Can he lead hundreds of officials to achieve ZTE? Young Master Pei, I advise you to be realistic! As long as we can try our best to save his life, we have already done our best. ”
"So what are you going to do? Just say it! Pei Min found that he and Zhang Yun did not have a common language, and he was no longer ready to discuss it with Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun also dislikes Pei Min's scholarly temperament, in fact, he also hopes that Li Qing'an can continue to maintain the current power of the political affairs hall, at this point he and Pei Min's original intention is the same, but their style of doing things is different, Pei Min is more scholarly, and prefers to sign an agreement between the monarch and the minister first, and use the agreement to restrain Li Qing'an's future imperial power, while Zhang Yun is more realistic, he thinks that they and Li Qing'an have no room for negotiation, and can only slowly persuade Li Qing'an in the future.
Of course, Li Qingan is doing a good job now, and he may not change the current power structure.
"Young Master Pei, since Chuzhou has produced a treasure jade, it is the will of heaven, I hope that our political hall can use this Ruizhao to carry out vigorous publicity, so that the people of the world can understand that it is the will of heaven for His Royal Highness King Zhao to ascend the throne!"
After a pause, Zhang Yun looked at Pei Min's face, and then said tentatively: "If Young Master Pei still has doubts in his heart, he might as well call him sick for ten years." ”
In fact, this is the real intention of Zhang Yun to visit Pei Min, Pei Min said that he was ill for ten years, then he Zhang Yun will be in charge for another ten years, so that he has the main credit for planning this Ruizhao incident and even public opinion.
Pei Min pondered for a long time, he understood what Zhang Yun meant, although he always wanted to talk to Li Qing'an, but he finally agreed, let Zhang Yun take power for another ten years, he also knew that Li Qing'an's accession to the throne was the trend of the times, he couldn't stop it, of course, he didn't want to stop it.
.........
Then two said, Chuzhou treasure incident spread all over the Chang'an City, this time there is a world-famous poet Li Bai identification, is the early Sui Dynasty, should have appeared in the early Sui or early Tang Dynasty treasure, but after a hundred years appeared, although some people think that this is just a coincidence, but the vast majority of people think that this is the will of heaven, for a time, Chang'an's city and square military camps are talking about this matter, the major wine shops and teahouses, almost every household is talking about the appearance of heaven's will.
'Baoyu is out, the world is decided, Baoyu is now, and the saint is out. ’
The rebellion of Shi Siming and An Lushan has been quelled, the northern and southern Tang have also been unified, and the king of Jing and Wu, who had divided Jingzhou and Jianghuai, have disappeared, and the world is peaceful, which strongly indicates the emergence of the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the beginning of the revival of the Tang Dynasty.
In the Taibai Liquor House in Chang'an East City, the business is particularly hot, people come and go, the guests flow endlessly, and the lobby on the second floor is also very lively, more than 100 drinkers drink while listening to a businessman tell about their experience, and everyone listens to it fascinating.
The merchant was a native of Luoyang, and a year ago he brought a thousand horses of silk to Sindh with a caravan to do business, and he had just returned recently, and he looked like he had made a fortune.
"You can't even dream of it! I actually saw the dragon banner of our Tang Dynasty on the sea, it's incredible......"
"How can there be a flag on the sea, is it coming out of the sea?" Someone interjected.
"Where the hell is the sea so big?" Someone else asked.
"It's not! No! It was in the Strait of Malacca, I saw on the boat that the north side of the gorge was building a city, and the dragon flag of our Tang Dynasty was planted on the city, as well as the Tang Army, you don't know, at that moment, my tears flowed out, I was really excited! ”
"Where is the Strait of Malacca? Is it far from us? ”
"It's far away, in the south of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, thousands of miles away from the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate, which is a very important strait, I never thought that the Tang Dynasty would actually build a city there."
"Oh my God! How big is our Datang territory now? Someone exclaimed, "Is there ten thousand miles?" ”
"More than ten thousand miles!"
The merchant said loudly: "Our territory of the Tang Dynasty is more than 10,000 miles, from the sea in the east, to the Amu Darya River in the west, to the Strait of Malacca in the south, and to the Bohai Sea in the north......"
At this time, an insider finally interrupted him, "It seems that the northernmost country is not only Bohai Country!" I heard that the Murowei people in the north of the Bohai Kingdom have also surrendered to General Li Baozhen, and it is said that if you go further north, you will be in the extreme arctic ice field, and His Royal Highness King Zhao is leading 300,000 Tang troops and the Hui people to fight for the grassland, and I believe that the news of victory will come soon. ”
The lobby was quiet all of a sudden, this huge empire dazzled everyone, in fact, there was a bit of vanity in their hearts, many people didn't quite understand, what such a large territory meant to them?
"Have you heard about the treasure in Chuzhou?" Someone turned the conversation to the hottest event in Chang'an.
"I heard that it is said to be a treasure of the Chen Dynasty, called Ruyi Thirteen Lang, and it has been silent for more than a hundred years."
An old man sighed: "This is Ruixing from heaven!" Baoyu is now, the saint is out, and our Datang is going to produce an emperor Taizong who will stabilize the country. ”
"Uncle, you're talking about His Royal Highness King Zhao!"
The old man nodded, "Out of a Ming Jun, prosperous for decades, out of a faint king, the country has been declining for decades, everyone is unlucky, I only hope that His Royal Highness King Zhao can live a long life, so that my sons and grandchildren can live a good life for decades." ”
"I don't have any other requirements, I just hope that His Royal Highness King Zhao can make the price of rice per bucket never exceed one hundred Wen, then I will resolutely support him to ascend the throne as emperor."
"Zhao San, you're talking in your sleep! You support it and don't support it. ”
"You know a fart, the world is fair and free in the hearts of the people, those powerful and high-ranking officials whitewash the prosperity of the country every day, the world is peaceful, that is self-deception, whether the Tang Dynasty is strong or not lies in the hearts of the people, in our small people, the world is a rod and scale, and the people's heart is a scale, only with the support of our small people, His Royal Highness King Zhao can sit on the country, sit on the country, and continue to sit, do you understand?"
While the crowd was arguing, a man came running, blocked the staircase, and then shouted, "Look outside, there's a march of soldiers!" ”
Everyone suddenly became excited, and ran to the window, and wanted to go downstairs to see, but was blocked by the guys, and everyone had to squeeze to the window, only to see a mighty procession coming to the east of the city, waving a big banner, pulling a banner, the seven schools under the Guozijian, Guozi, Taixue, Guangwen, Simen, Law, Shu, Arithmetic, and so on students from all provinces participated in the parade, and there were more than 100,000 scholars.
This is Zhang Yun's plan, he is the leader of the literary world of the Tang Dynasty, and Han Zemu, the priest of the country, is recommended by him, and he can mobilize the literati of the Tang Dynasty to build momentum for Li Qing'an.
100,000 scholars marched on the streets, and Han Zemu, the priest of the country, walked in the front, followed by hundreds of doctoral assistants, waving various flags and slogans in the mighty procession:
'But let the dragon city fly in, don't teach Humadu Yin Mountain!' ’
......
'Support the Northern Expedition and break through the Turks!' ’
'Support King Zhao's ascension to the throne, Datang Zhongxing!' ’
'Throw a pen from Rong and serve the country!' ’
......
