At that time, the Northern Zhou Dynasty implemented the government military system, that is, the military system that combined the central army and the local miscellaneous army set up by local officials.

The whole ** team is divided into 24 military offices under the command of 12 generals, which is equivalent to the current major military regions. And these twelve generals were under the leadership of the Eight Pillars, but this kind of official system when the Northern Zhou Dynasty was established at the beginning of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and later the Pillar State was established as an honorary title, and there was no actual military power.

But this general of the Zhu State is not only nominal, he also has an important position, that is, one of the "four auxiliaries" appointed by Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, that is, one of the four members of the Standing Committee of the Central Political Bureau.

This is not counting the fact that he was able to block the other three members of the Standing Committee: Yu Wensheng, Wei Chi Hui and Li Mu, and the important reason for standing in the front desk to speak was that he not only had a strong militia organization himself, but also had the support of the most important political and military group at that time, that is, the Guanlong aristocratic group in the northwest.

Also, the woman behind him, a successful man, is extraordinary.

This woman is the seventh daughter of Da Sima Duguxin.

And Dugu Xin, as the second-generation leader of the largest faction in the DPRK and the He Batsheng faction, both belong to the Northwest Guanlong Group, and because of this layer of nepotism, he may become a strong backing for Pu Liuru's strong government.

Not only that, this woman named Dugu Jialuo is very intelligent, not only the most reliable political partner of her husband, but also a master of advice, and can be called the most rare boudoir in history.

Her ability in this regard is reflected in the fact that her husband, who was fortunate enough to marry the seventh lady of the Dugu family, made a poisonous oath on the wedding night that she would never have children with other women, whether this was tampered with by later generations, I don't know, but at that time, it should be regarded as a love myth.

But what makes people unexpected is that the later Pu Liurujian is indeed obedient and loyal, and has more than two rooms, but he has not had sex with other women, which is indeed a rare thing through the ages, which shows the fierceness of this boudoir.

However, this myth of love, as a commentary on Puliuru's loyal and noble character, is correct, but on the contrary, it is debatable.

For various reasons, for the emperor, having children with other women is not only about whether there is an extramarital affair, but also about the importance of the succession to the throne in the future, so could it be said that the seventh lady of the Dugu family, on the wedding night, saw that the man she married was going to be the emperor in the future?

It is not convincing to say that it is visible.

But to say that there is such a plan is highly probable, and it is a materialist point of view.

Well, that's kind of scary.

This brings forward the start of the plan we mentioned above, much earlier.

It makes people feel more and more that a conspiracy began a long time ago, and now its shadow is so vast and ubiquitous.

Here, we want to say that the Tang people have a lot of belittling for this future great monarch, saying that on the way to seize the throne, he deceived Emperor Zhou Jing and their orphans and widows, and it took no effort to get the throne, but in fact, he only saw the tip of the iceberg.

We can see this invisible conspiracy, outside the airtight package, a trace of flaw is exposed: Guo Rong, a close friend of Pu Liurujian in his childhood, once saw this Pu Liurujian with a calm face on a moonlit night in the past, and said to him, I look at the heavens and observe the personnel, and I will replace him when the vitality of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is exhausted.

Guo Rong listened to this at the time, but he didn't say anything, and then he thought about it for a long time, but he didn't understand it.

Later, Pu Liurujian's great event was completed, he became the prime minister, and when he was preparing to become the emperor in the next step, he remembered this friend Guo Rong, summoned him to the court, and when they met, they smiled and said to him, What's the matter, what I said has really come true, right?

This incident was recorded in the Book of Sui, written by the Tang Dynasty. Guo Rongchuan", at least the closest Tang Dynasty people, also guessed that such a big thing, Pu Liurujian would not be unprepared in thought and not reflected in action.

Because although Pu Liurujian's direct target, Emperor Zhou Jing was only nine years old, and his mother, Empress Zhu Manyue, was originally a maid in Tai** who specialized in managing clothes for the prince, a native of Jiangnan, more than ten years older than Zhou Tianyuan Yu Wenyun. Because of his good looks, he was confiscated (mo), that is, registered and confiscated his family property, and entered the East Palace of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but he was favored by Zhou Tianyuan and became the queen after Yang Lihua.

It can be seen that in terms of her competition for favor, she also has two brushes.

In this case, it seems that their orphans and widows were later deceived and subjugated, but after careful analysis, it is not so taken for granted.

Because to say that she was an ordinary woman who had committed a lawsuit and was forcibly included in the palace people's families, there was no political power to support her, of course, but Emperor Jing Yuwen was already an emperor, how could she be casually bullied, this is not reliable.

In fact, what makes Pu Liuru Jian afraid is not only the little friend Yu Wenxian in front of him, it is indeed relatively easy to deal with their mother and son, and the real opponents are those who have the same intentions as him, which is not easy to deal with.

The reason why this thing is easy for future generations is because it is easy for him to do it.

And this is the unfathomable expression of his abilities.

Here, I seem to suddenly understand why later generations evaluated this emperor as the emperor with the highest IQ in ancient times.

In addition to this capable woman by the pillow, Pu Liurujian also has a more prominent identity, that is, the Duke of Sui and the Lord of the Kingdom.

Because his eldest daughter, Yang Lihua, was one of the five empresses of the emperor of the dynasty.

Yang Lihua is one of the famous beauties in history.

The other four are Zhu Manyue, Chen Yueyi, Yuan Leshang, and the fourteen-year-old Empress Wei Chi Fanchi, a woman of the Zhou clan who was forcibly killed by Zhou Tianyuan.

This Empress Wei Chi Fanchi, because of the ethical issues involved in her relationship with Zhou Tianyuan, as well as the problems with the real opponent of Pu Liurujian, will have a chance to appear later.

At that time, Emperor Xuan Zhou Tianyuan actually saw that this prince would do bad things in the future, so Xuan ignored his daughter Yang Lihua and added many humiliating words.

But Yang Lihua has a gentle temperament, and in the face of Zhou Tianyuan's moodiness, innocent scolding, and the danger of wanting to add to sin, she can show surprisingly calmness, which cannot but be said to be related to what happened later.

However, there are some things that still have to be said first, although this Empress Yang made Pu Liurujian the ruler of the country, but she later expressed hatred for her father, which cannot but be said to be a strange thing.

The father-daughter relationship is the most recent blood relationship, and before this incident, the relationship between their father and daughter was close.

Zhou Tianyuan also because she was Yang Jian's daughter, and his attitude towards her changed a lot later, almost in vain.

However, after this incident, Yang Lihua changed her attitude towards her father in the past, and the only explanation that can be found is because although she is the daughter of Yang Jian, she is also the wife of Zhou Tianyuan, and for a woman, sometimes the latter is taken more seriously.

In other words, it is because of his father's actions that the relationship between husband and wife has been damaged, and it should not be an ordinary injury.

That is, she found out what her father did to Zhou Tianyuan.

counterfeit

There are many of the above reasons, this Pu Liurujian doesn't do something big, that's weird.

And here we are, after this chattering foreshadowing, let's get down to business.

What I want to say is that Liu Xiaoqingzheng, Comrade Liu Fangkai, convened a meeting of the Standing Committee of the six-member Political Bureau, and they have a bottom in their hearts about how to hold this meeting. Except for one person, that is Yan Zhiyi, the doctor Yan Zhengqing, he is not very sure in his heart.

The two of them, although they are both people who can walk to Emperor Zhou Tianyuan's side, but strangely, Liu Fangkai only found out now that he didn't know much about the person next to him.

This perception was formed two days ago.

Two days ago, they left Emperor Xuan's sickbed together, and came out of the room full of choking herbs and mixed with a strange stale smell, and just as he stepped out on his front foot, before his hind foot could follow, Yan Shudud disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It seems that Yan Qingzheng is not so easy to handle.

To deal with such people, we must be fully mentally prepared.

He may not be allowed to attend the meeting, but he must not be informed of some of the things decided at the meeting.

This is because, as for Emperor Xuan's last words on his deathbed, only the two of them were summoned to come forward.

Although the emperor in his twenties at that time was speechless, they would definitely not be able to pay the difference if they said it like this.

So even if the emperor didn't say anything at that time, they had to say the unspoken words in their words, and this was the challenge he Liu Xiaoqing was facing, and it was a challenge and an opportunity.

And if you do this, you can't do without this Yan Qingzheng.

Because he was responsible for drafting the emperor's edict, and the official edict must be signed by him before it counts.

The problem is that this Yan nerd, a prodigy who can read "The Book of Filial Piety" at the age of three, has a not very good genetics, and I am afraid it will be bad.

Because his grandfather Yan Jianyuan, the former ruler of the Qi State and Zhongcheng, was forced to "Zen the throne" in Xiao Yan and the establishment of the Southern Liang Dynasty after Emperor Qi and Emperor He, he died of hunger strike for many days, which was once a sensation and became the news known to everyone in the world. This incident made Emperor Wu of Liang hate it very much, but he couldn't scold it, so he had to say why Yan Jianyuan was like this. It can be seen that this Yan family's generations of scholars have come out with a tendon, so they have to be guarded against.

Liu Xiaoqing is thinking like this, and he is indeed right, because things are really as he thought.

Before he Liu Fangkai could finish speaking, Yan Qingzheng jumped up. The voice was violent, first scolded these people, and then expressed that even if he died, he could not agree to be a rebel, and compared with his ancestor's appearance, he was not out of shape at all.

And what happened next is a little unclear.

First of all, this Yan Zhengqing was reluctant to join, so he had to go with him, but about Emperor Xuan's last words, if he wanted to tell the world, he had to have the signature of this Lord Yan, and now it seems that it is really difficult to do.

It's a bit like making a will nowadays, and in order to be valid, two people who have nothing to do with the inheritance need to be present and sign a written will. However, the difficulty of the matter lies in the fact that it is impossible to make this Yan nerd a fake notary.

Because Emperor Xuan did not have a will, when he was dying, he was speechless, and he couldn't do it, one is one, two is two, which is the principle of Lord Yan's life, which shows that Emperor Xuan did not look away at that time and let him be in charge of the seal, although he was the grandson of Yan Jianyuan, an old minister of the previous dynasty.

However, Lord Yan is unwilling to do it, what should I do with this signing?

The only way to do this is to imitate.

The question is, who is going to imitate this word? The history books say that Liu Xiaozhengqing did it, which can be seen from the fact that he has won the most infamy since he did this.

However, you must know that the Yan family also produced calligraphers, in addition to the later Yan Zhenqing, Yan Zhiyi's father Yan Xie is also a calligrapher, working in grass, subordinate, and flying white.

If you want to do it, it will be very mysterious, but you can do it anyway.

Presumably it was the emperor's edict, just listening to the edict, how the edict was written, and how the handwriting was written, and other suspense, I could only guess at the time, and then I could only guess, after all, there was no local handwriting to sign this industry.

That's all there is to it, but when you think about it, there is still a problem.

It stands to reason that this Liu Fang forged the edict, which is a great crime to exterminate the nine clans, but because of this, Yang Jian ascended the throne of the emperor and made an important preliminary foreshadowing, which can be called a first-class contribution to the new emperor in the future.

The history of the Sui Dynasty was revised by the Tang Dynasty in later generations, and it was written clearly that Brother Liu Fang personally manipulated it, imitated Yan Zhiyi's handwriting, and signed a forged edict, which was intended to demean Emperor Wen of Sui, who had made great contributions to the Chinese nation.

However, if this kind of thing hadn't been done by Brother Liu Fang at that time, it might not have become the content of the discussion on the streets.

If there were no discussions on the streets, the Tang people of later generations would not know so clearly.

It is strange to say that Yang Jian is in power, but it seems that he does not stop such a thing, if he stops it, he can do it, at least he can make this historical fact a mystery for people to guess.

However, what he did seemed to be saying that since he was doing this with such fanfare, he was not afraid of what others said.

In this regard, on the one hand, we can say that the Northern Zhou Dynasty made Emperor Xuan really unpresentable, the people were against each other, and Yang Jian wanted to be the emperor, which was in line with the historical trend, although the means were a little despicable, but after all, the purpose was legitimate.

However, if he had said so, Pu Liurujian could have used the same and somewhat despicable means to tell Comrade Liu Xiaoqingzheng first, and not to make a noise.

In fact, there is no need to tell it, everyone who is related to this knows to avoid it.

But this matter is open, who said that?

Pu Liurujian did not investigate, not only did he not investigate, but let the situation develop, in a word, he was not afraid of others saying ugly things, which made people quite puzzled.

Because rumors, at least from politics, are a factor of social instability.

Of course, it is also possible that it was his political opponents who did it, but only a few people knew about this matter, and if it was this Yan Zhiyi brother, if he didn't open his mouth and talk nonsense everywhere, his political opponents would not know.

But looking at this Yan Zhiyi's later appearance, it is not quite like it.

Because later Pu Liurujian found that the big seal was missing, that is, the thing that is equivalent to the symbol of power called the rune seal, and when he asked, he realized that it was this brother Yan Zhiyi, who hid it and sent someone to ask for it, but he didn't give it, and the problem was a bit big.

Some people may be very puzzled that the future new emperor has to ask for this thing that belongs to the old things of the previous dynasty.

The emperor is about to become an emperor, and he will have to carve another one, why do you want to change the soup and not change the medicine?

In fact, this is a last resort.

Because of the general people in the imperial migration, as well as the magistrates, and then the generals who commanded the government soldiers, as the founders and leaders of these vast militia organizations, there is still a process of adaptation for them to obey the orders of the future emperor.

This is the reason why Yang Jian, who is close to the Ninety-Five Honor, has to ask this Lord Yan Zhiyi for the emperor's talisman seal.

However, Yan Zhiyi, who only has a straight intestine, really doesn't give face to the person who wants to usurp the throne.

Because he thinks that justice is on his side.

Therefore, the righteous spirit is awe-inspiring, and the words that come out are hard to hear: This thing is the emperor's exclusive thing, as the prime minister, what reason do you have to come and ask for it?

This is clearly not buying, and it is a painful blow to the idea of preparing to be an emperor.

So Pu Liurujian was furious and ordered the "full twisting" donkey to be pushed out and beheaded.

But that's just a bluff.
