Chapter 426: The Dream of His Royal Highness King Wei
Fan Lihua bowed and said: "Your Royal Highness, Mrs. Dou and Mrs. Chen came to ask for the concubine, the concubine took care of the old feelings, so she came up with such a clumsy idea, the concubine knew that the concubine was the concubine of His Royal Highness, and it should not be like this, so the concubine asked His Highness for the guilt, and if she wanted to be punished and beaten, she would listen to the court, as long as His Highness did not leave the concubine." β
Fan Lihua is now forty years old, and has lived a good life for many years, coupled with good maintenance and diligent martial arts, she still looks like a person in her thirties.
Looking at her tense body, Wu Chu sighed in his heart, this is retribution, the peaches were picked at the beginning, and they tasted very refreshing and delicious, and now there is such an ending, his woman is towards his "ex-husband"!
"Okay, you go back, this king is not such a stingy person, by the way, if Chongyong really doesn't want to study, let him join the army, change your surname, start with a small soldier, if you don't want to, then study hard, if you are naughty again, the family law will not forgive!" Wu Shu said slowly, without the slightest anger on his face, but Xue Ne and Fan Lihua understood the meaning of the words.
Fan Lihua sighed in her heart, her child was too naughty, and he gave Xixi a headache with a little bit of martial arts, not to mention that he didn't learn, he also let his younger brothers and sisters not learn. She is told every day, but she doesn't change, since King Wei asked her to join the army, but he is only twelve years old!
"Ah Lang, Chongyong is only twelve years old!" Fan Lihua said softly, although she can beat or scold her children, but if she joins the army, she is too young.
Wu Chu said in a deep voice: "His strength is greater than that of an adult now, why can't he join the army?" All right. Go down! β
"Yes, Ah Lang!" Fan Lihua had no choice but to bow down and exit the guest hall.
Inside the guest house. Only Xue Ne was left, Xue Ne felt a little self-blame in his heart, but he was helpless, the two ladies were also worried about his life before they found Fan Lihua, but now there is such a thing, if there is still a chance, he can only take care of Chongyong in the future.
After a moment of silence. Wu Chu said: "This king entrusted you with a heavy responsibility and handed over the right feather Lin Wei to you, but you disappointed me!" β
Xue Ne suddenly fell to his knees on one knee. Lowering his head, he said: "It was the last general who disappointed His Highness, and the last general will never die to repay His Highness's kindness!" β
Wu Chu shook his head and said slowly, "Don't wait for me." A person's life. How long can it be? How long can he be at his most energetic? If the Great Zhou Dynasty wants to be extended, it must be strong, and the people must live a prosperous life, how can it be done in just a few years? The ancients said that chaos can be cured, but it is just an excuse for their own incompetence, and it is just an excuse for those who are ambitious. This so-called 'prosperity, the people suffer. Lose. The people are also miserable. And my dreams, General Xue. Do you know the king's dream? β
Xue Ne lowered his head, but he was sure that King Wei must be watching him at this time, what was King Wei's dream? He didn't dare to guess, so he said: "Your Highness has great ambitions, and your subordinates don't dare to guess!" β
Wu Chu smiled bitterly, now that his authority is deepening, these generals have lost their former friendship, more respect and obedience, and then, Wu Chu stood up and said, "You get up, go to the king's study." β
So the two of them came to the study in the Wutong Courtyard, the study was empty, in the past there was always a personal maid serving in the study, but now it was empty, Wu Chu felt a burst of irritability, but soon dispelled this kind of feeling, this kind of love xΓΉ whether it was in the past life or now, he was extremely disgusted.
"General Xue, come here, take a look with this king!"
Wu Shu walked to the bookshelf, took a scroll from the shelf, and slowly unfolded it on the bookcase.
Xue Ne agreed, and then cautiously stepped forward to take a look, there were twisting patterns painted on it, and when he looked at those place names carefully, he couldn't help but feel a huge shock in his heart, is this the map of the territory of the Great Zhou? He knew that the science student had presented the empress with a set of geographical maps of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was said to be very detailed, but no more than two fingers had been seen.
After all, Xue Ne was a battlefield general, but after a moment, he suddenly exclaimed: "Your Highness, this seems to be beyond the scope of my Great Zhou territory!" β
Wu Chu smiled slightly and said: "Yes, this is the map of the Great Zhou Territory in the heart of this king, not now, not in one or two decades, but in a hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years, of course, maybe in the more distant future." β
Xue Ne was a little confused, since it was a few hundred years later, why did he tell him? But he had to express his position, and then said categorically: "Your Highness, rest assured, Your Highness's dream is the dream of the last general, not to mention ten years, give the last general twenty years, and the last general will definitely lay this land for His Highness!" β
Wu Chu shook his head, stretched out his hand and patted Xue Ne's shoulder, and said: "You, this king has never been arrogant, with the strength of the Great Zhou, if it develops for twenty years, it may be able to clear the frontier and make the people's lives rich, but to lay down this piece of land, it is easy to lay, but to govern and defend it, it will be difficult, perhaps, the national strength of the Great Zhou will be dragged down, even if there is no war, it will slowly decay until it perishes." β
Immediately, Wu Chuan said: "Xue Ne, for the sake of the general, you must not be ambitious, you should be down-to-earth, in order to make a difference, otherwise every qiΔ is a fantasy, and it will become a flower on the other side." β
Xue Ne hurriedly bowed down and said, "What Your Highness has taught you is that the last general will keep it in mind. β
Wu Chu suddenly had an idea, and said: "At this moment, the Khitan clan is still ravaging in my Hebei land, Xue Ne, if it is you, how can you win this battle?" β
Inside the Linxian Palace.
The empress sat silent, the exquisite food on the dining table did not attract the empress's appetite at all, the minister had already gone to court, at this time she was thinking about things, thinking about the fate of Da Zhou. At this moment, the empress had never been so sober.
Wu Yizong's death undoubtedly sounded the alarm for the empress, if she continues to vacillate between the Wu family and the Li family, leaving the position of crown prince vacant, then who will die next? Is it Wu Chengsi or Wu Sansi, or Wu Zheng, or herself?
Li Qianli, originally one of her "thousands of miles of horse", has sent auspicious rui thousands of miles, treasures thousands of miles away, and slaves thousands of miles away. It was also because she was so obedient and sensible that she abandoned her suspicions about him and boldly started it, from a rogue person, step by step to the long history, the history of the assassin, and the right Yu Lin Wei general who guarded the forbidden palace. Such grace, but so ungrateful, disappointed her that it devastated her.
In the final analysis, it is because her surname is Wu, and Li Qianli's surname is Li. Thinking of her two sons, the empress chuckled, and then shook her head, her throne was taken from her two sons, they don't hate it now, so what about the future? What happens when she dies? Then her people will inevitably be wiped out.
Thinking of this, the empress finally made up her mind, and then took a brocade box from the case, and then slowly opened the brocade box, and took out a yellow silk scroll, the scroll was printed with a dragon and phoenix auspicious pattern, this scroll symbolizes the royal majesty, only the royal can be used, further, only she, the Great Zhou Emperor Wu Cao, can be used.
Unfold the scroll, it was full of words, at a glance it was the empress's handwriting, but there was a blank paragraph, the empress picked up the imperial pen, paused, in the blank place, then wrote two words, "Wu Zheng".
Right Su Zheng Tai.
The lights are bright, and there are many people at the moment, obviously there is something big.
That's right, today's wanton arrest of Li Tang's former ministers in the DPRK and China, all those who are included in the list, anyone who is suspected, will be arrested, because the Right Su Zhengtai is not a place to hold prisoners, so the Right Su Zheng Tai only detains officials above the fourth rank, while the rest of the officials are imprisoned in the Qiuguan Prison.
However, the trial of the three divisions was carried out on the right political platform, and the magistrate's court built by the cool officials in the past happened to be used.
In the imperial history, Cheng Ji was extremely excited, and he didn't even eat dinner, so he gave various orders. Although the case was tried by Dali Temple and Qiu Guan, he personally went into battle to accompany the trial, first, such a big case, how could he not be present to supervise the trial, and secondly, he was afraid that there were officials who cared about the old feelings, and delayed the major affairs of His Royal Highness. He is a pawn of His Royal Highness the King of Wei, so he has to do this not only well, but also beautifully. In this way, can't he Ji Ji still be valued by His Royal Highness the King of Wei? Can't you go down in history?
This time, two hundred and ninety-nine officials of Li Tang's old ministers were arrested, and they just didn't make up a whole thing, which made Ji Ji a little regretful, of course, if Li Qianli was caught, it would be exactly three hundred.
But in any case, since this matter is carried out, then he has to do this thing well, and the empress asked for a quick conclusion of the case, so the officials of the three divisions had to try it overnight, and he led the officials to the court quickly.
After everyone sat down, the main book took the lottery box, Ji Ji drew a lot casually, and he couldn't help frowning, how could it be this person, but since he drew it, it was handed over to Xu Yougong, who tried the criminal.
Xu Yougong was shocked by the arrest of so many court officials, but he didn't say anything, after receiving the holy decree, he personally came to the Suzheng Platform for trial, of course, he also knew some things in his heart, as for how to do it, he was not alone in the final say.
Xu Yougong sat in the position of presiding judge, took the bamboo stick, glanced at it, patted the shocked wood, and shouted: "Bring people to commit crimes, Wang Jishan!" β
Wang and good for the spring official Shangshu, and check the history of the school, and Fengge Luantai Ping Zhang, is a member of the three products, now eighty years old, but the body is still healthy, once drove the donkey of the courtiers into the imperial city, known as "drive the donkey prime minister". He was deeply trusted by Gaozong Li Zhi and was named General Qianniuwei, and he was a real former minister of Li Tang. Although this person is old, he has a lot of prestige in the court, and although he has not made much achievements in court politics, he is well-organized, able to self-denial and public service, and once praised by the empress.
Now, such a person, such a prime minister, has become a prisoner, Xu Yougong doesn't know how to try it, but this process must have.
After a short time, Wang Jishan came slowly, he was not shackled, and he did not put on the torture equipment. After the death of Lai Junchen, he was not punished by the sergeant, so he was again brought to the court to discuss the matter, and finally they were unanimously agreed, and the empress also believed that no matter what mistake the prime minister made, he represented the court, so the punishment was exempted. However, the crime of treason is excluded.
Wang Jishan was full of white hair, and his beard was neatly trimmed, and he was free and easy, and he did not belittle himself in the slightest because he was a prisoner. He was in good spirits, strode into the lobby, looked around, and then stared at Xu Yougong in the position of chief judge. (To be continued......)
