Jingzhao Prefecture governs the Gyeonggi region, is a relatively important official office, most of the time Yin is only a nominal governor and the real power is in the hands of Shaoyin, the current situation is the same, the former Jingzhao Mansion Shaoyin Wang Gao belongs to the Tang Dynasty is a very important official, but the fall of such a big man is only a matter of one sentence...... This made Xue Chongxun really feel that the power in his hands was expanding.

Death to those who stand in my way. Xue Chongxun thought so in his heart the moment he got the news of Wang Shaoyin's death, his feelings were very complicated, there was excitement and an inexplicable fear, which was about an instinctive reaction to unknown things that he had not experienced.

He remembered that he had lived for decades, and he had always lived cautiously with his words and deeds, and he had never tried to do whatever he wanted. This caused him to have a brief love affair that got out of control.

There were also Wang Changling, Yu Wenxiao and other staff members in the main hall of the pro-kingdom, and they learned about the Wang Gao incident together. When they turned their heads to look at Xue Chongxun, they saw the ambition in his eyes, like a fire burning!

Although Xue Chongxun was only a momentary expression of affection, and soon recovered his indifference, Yu Wenxiao and the others understood that look, and they were very excited and happy...... Xue Chongxun's ambition would take them to unprecedented heights.

Yu Wenxiao tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart, hugged his fists and said: "The person who took over Wang Gao is Zhou Bin, and yesterday Zhou Shaoyin made it clear that only the king of Jin is the first to look forward." ”

As early as when Yuwen Xiao was an official in Jingzhao Mansion, Zhou Bin tried to get closer to Xue Dang, and after handling Liu Youqiu's case, he determined the camp in the officialdom, and now he has completely joined the power group here.

"Good." Xue Chongxun said slowly, his face dark and expressionless.

Killing Wang Gao is not Xue Chongxun's will alone, and the party is like water descending.

A staff member Jian Yì said: "After the change of the law, the decree to cancel the government soldiers has been issued and implemented by the whole world, and now only a holy decree of transferring officials and soldiers to Beijing to change the defense can justifiably transfer the Shence army from Tongchuan to the Beijing division, and the overall situation will be determined." ”

Xue Chongxun said: "I was about to enter the palace to persuade the Empress Dowager Gao to make an order. ”

Wang Changling reminded: "As soon as the Shence Army enters the Beijing Division, the north and south are all in the hands of Xue Lang, can the palace agree lightly?" ”

This kind of thing of transferring troops and changing defenses must be carried out justifiably, of course, it is not Xue Chongxun who can say it, although he has a lot of energy in his hands. Not only must the holy decree of the jade seal be stamped, but it must also be reviewed by the province before it can be handed over to the Ministry of War. (If the province thinks that the holy decree is inappropriate, it can be rejected and dismissed, and the holy decree cannot even get out of the imperial city; However, at present, no one in Nanya is willing to do this, and Queen Gao's will is the key link. ）

Yu Wenxiao smiled disapprenously: "What choice does she have?" ”

"Maybe it's going to be a bit of a twist." Wang Changling frowned and thought about something. Perhaps because the decree of the "Apocalypse Change" was also out of order last time, the intention to transfer troops this time became more and more obvious, so he thought that it was more likely to encounter uncertainties.

After all, what they do is very important. If this series of arrangements is completed, what is the situation of Chang'an and even the world? The upper generals of this army are the old Taiping Party, and the middle level is in collusion with Xue Chongxun, Zhang Wulang and others, and they are on the side of the Taiping Party during the Jingyun coup. The Nanya soldiers were replaced by the Shence Army, and the commander Yin resigned from the Xue Dang lineage of the Flying Tiger Regiment, not to mention that they were almost the same as the tooth soldiers of the Jin Palace; After numerous coups d'état purge over the imperial power over the years, the remaining ones were either from the Taiping princess's subordinates or from Xue Chongxun's newly promoted position, and the power group had already controlled almost all the real power bureaucracy, and those who did not merge under the party's unity and disagreement either died or were squeezed to the edge of power.

However, the mature bureaucratic structure under the centralized power was not destroyed, and Chang'an had control over the local government, and unless the local authorities brazenly rebelled, Chang'an's decrees could still be legally unimpeded, and resistance would be dismissed from office in accordance with the law.

History is indeed accidental sometimes, and later generations often lament the turning point of the Anshi Rebellion and the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and feel sorry for this powerful world empire, assuming that if it were not for the mistakes of Tang Xuanzong's decision-making; But obviously Tang Xuanzong is not entirely a sinner, if he does not set things right, the decline of imperial power for many years after Wu Zetian is likely to be reversed, and it is impossible to know how the Tang National Games will continue...... Just like now, Xuanzong has gone farther and farther away from the era when he was supposed to revitalize the imperial power, the Tang court has lost a historical opportunity, the chaotic pattern of the power center has not changed much, and where to go is still in a delicate situation.

Xue Chongxun said: "I went into the palace to move the camera, but the attitude in the palace should not be too surprising, you don't have to worry too much." ”

All the staff members stood up and bowed, and Xue Chongxun walked outside with his entourage.

The honor guard soldiers and horses turned north out of Anyi Fang, and it was Dongshikou, the most prosperous business area in Chang'an. Today is not as orderly as usual, I saw that the street outside the East Market Entrance was crowded with many people, as well as officials and officials, and I don't know what happened.

The cavalry that opened the road in front stopped temporarily, and after a while, someone outside said: "Xiaguan Wannian County Order to meet the King of Jin." ”

Xue Chongxun lifted the curtain and asked, "What's the matter of gathering people?" ”

"There are Diao people gathered to rob the goods of the Tubo merchants, and then there was a fight, and after the report was received, the lower official immediately brought all the servants in the county hall with weapons, and at the same time reported to the Jingzhao Mansion......" The green-robed official said with a little nervousness.

Xue Chongxun frowned and said: "Then what are you doing standing over there, what's so bad about this kind of thing, arresting the leader to ask for the crime, dispersing the people, and obstructing public affairs will be added to the crime!" ”

The green-robed officer said carefully: "There is a reason for this...... Recently, the people of Chang'an's 'Xia Society' have spread the remarks of Tubo massacring the Han people in Longyou, which has caused the people to be angry, so today some people gathered to rush into the East Market to take out the merchants and vent their anger, and some unemployed Qingpi took the opportunity to grab the goods and swallow them privately, and the matter became a big trouble...... The lower official position had not yet figured out the hidden situation, so he did not dare to make an assertion, so he had to stop the brawl first and wait for Jingzhao Mansion to send someone to deal with it. ”

"What can be hidden? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, wouldn't it be laughing at the world if such a thing happened! Xue Chongxun said angrily, "When will the imperial court expel Hu Shang, is it possible that we will not contact foreign countries to do business in the future?" No matter what the hidden situation, the offender will be punished according to the law! Give a message to Zhou Bin, compensate Hu Shang for his losses, arrest the person who took the lead in making trouble, and properly handle the matter. ”

Soon the front of the Flying Tiger Regiment rode horses to drive away the people who had gathered, and the honor guard first passed through the street and continued to move towards the Daming Palace.

Entering the Danfeng Gate, Xue Chongxun continued to travel north by car, and after passing the Guangming Gate, the official eunuch of the Inner Servant Province also came, saying that the Queen Mother was not in the Zichen Palace, and sent him to the Chengxiang Hall to summon him.

Xue Chongxun had the privilege of riding a horse in the Daming Palace, but his carriage still seemed so small in the grand complex. Perhaps this is the effect that the emperors wanted to build the palace building so much, so that the bureaucrats had a sense of coercion in the face of the palace that symbolized imperial power.

They walked along the road for a long time before they came to the Chengxiang Palace, but unexpectedly, Xue Chongxun met Yuwen Ji at the door. She has to go in and out of the palace once or twice a month, and Yu Li would have asked someone to bring her in to check Princess Taiping's pulse, and it was for this reason that she happened to meet her in the palace today. Yuwen Ji ran over when she saw Xue Chongxun, and didn't say anything about the etiquette of meeting first, and said directly: "I have something to say to you." ”

Xue Chongxun was only worried about transferring his descendant army to Chang'an, where did he have the heart to gossip with Yuwen Ji at this time, so he said: "I have something very important to see the Queen Mother, let's go back and talk about it." ”

Yuwen Ji said angrily: "My business is also very important, really! ”

Yuwen Ji glanced at the eunuchs and entourage beside Xue Chongxun, frowned, and said, "I have to tell you alone, you come with me." ”

When the eunuch who led the way saw this, he said, "Wait a minute, the miscellaneous family will go in and report it." ”

At this time, I saw Yu Liben appear on the stone steps, and said loudly: "What else is there to report, it's reported in the morning, Xue Lang will go in." ”

Xue Chongxun said to Yuwen Ji: "Then you wait for me outside, and I'll go to business first." ”

Yuwen Ji had no choice but to say helplessly: "After seeing the Queen Mother, hurry up and come out." ”

"Then you wait." Xue Chongxun nodded, lifted his robe and walked up the stairs quickly, and walked into the main hall together after meeting Yu Liben.

There were some slaves and maids standing next to the door of the main hall, but after walking in, Xue Chongxun found that there was no one on the wooden platform, only Empress Dowager Gao was sitting behind the curtain above. Yu Liben also unexpectedly did not stand aside, but just stood below from a distance, and heard Gao's voice say: "Xue Lang came up to speak, get closer and hear clearly." ”

"Yes." Xue Chongxun walked up the wooden steps, and found a waist round stool on the side of the railing platform, but instead of sitting on it, he made a respectful and humble appearance and saluted to the Gao family.

Gao said: "No excuses, sit down and talk." After a while she whispered, "Did you think of me at home?" ”

Xue Chongxun was speechless, and after a while, he nodded flatteringly and said in a deep voice: "The minister has to look to the north every morning and evening and think about it reverently. ”

Xue Chongxun: "......"

I heard Gao's voice and said without waves: "Only I can understand the things in your eyes, and I understand it at a glance, what do you ask me for?" Let's talk about it. ”

Xue Chongxun had no choice but to say: "According to the law, the system of government soldiers will be abolished, and Chang'an City will need to be garrisoned by officials...... Please ask the Queen Mother to order the military department to transfer Tongchuan Jian'er to a Shence army into the guard! ”

As soon as the words fell, the entire hall fell silent, and there was not even a sound...... Gao was also silent. This silent time continued little by little, and Xue Chongxun's mood slowly became solemn. Empress Dowager Gao is indeed weak and needs Xue Chongxun's power to sit firmly, but she is not exactly a marionette, because: Xue Chongxun has no legitimate imperial power.

Why didn't she answer? If she objected to the matter, he would face great trouble, and even the last link of the plan could not be carried out legally and reasonably. G
