Yang Chun March, spring and Jingming. The white catkins were flying all over the sky, like a heavy snow in the middle of winter.

However, under this heavy snowfall, it is cold and smoky, and the willows on the shore are new, and there is a spring weather.

The willow color is like smoke and snow, it is one of the eight views of Chang'an, and it is called "the wind and snow of the willows".

In this situation, the beauty is beautiful, but it should only be viewed from a distance. For those who are in it, it is very annoying.

For example, Yang Fan and Xue Huaiyi, who were standing by the Baqiao at the moment, were wearing "shallow dew" on the side of the girl, and they didn't feel anything about the fluttering catkins, so Yang Fan and Xue Huaiyi had to squint and be extra careful when they spoke, so as to avoid the pervasive catkins from burrowing into their mouths.

"I will ask someone to send Master Xue all the way to Yangzhou, and then transfer to a big ship there to go to sea. The ships and manpower are reliable, and Master Xue can rest assured. ”

Xue Huaiyi smiled: "Seventeen, you are really good now, I didn't expect you to have such close contacts with Nanyang and Dongying." This fleet is yours, right? Although the Sa family lives in Kyoto now, all the princes of Japan have to give some face to the Sa family, and if your people encounter any trouble in Toei in the future, let them come to Kyoto Honhara Temple to find me! ”

Xue Huaiyi has gone through several ups and downs, and he is no longer as vulgar as he was back then, but his temperament is still sparse, and his words are really heroic. However, his arrogance has always been confident, Wu Zetian supported him in the Central Plains before, and now he is in Dongying, because he has enough shili.

"Thank you, master. Master, I wish you a safe journey! ”

Yang Fan turned to Ruoxiang again, smiled and bowed to her. Ruoxiang is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, much younger than Yang Fan, but her identity is there, so Yang Fan is very thoughtful. Ruoxiang returned the salute by pressing his knees, and faintly saw a very pretty smile under the shallow exposure.

"Okay, okay. We are all big men, so don't come to those children's tricks, let's go, let's go, the Sprinkle family is waiting for you to come and see me in Dongying. ”

Xue Huaiyi saw that Hongyi and Hongliu were about to step forward to say goodbye to Yang Fan, so he waved his hand vigorously, turned around and strode onto the boat, and Ruoxiang immediately followed behind him. Hongyi and Hongliu hugged Yang Fan and said, "Take care!" Then he followed Xue Huaiyi to the boat quickly.

Not far away, the Japanese envoy to the Tang Dynasty, the ambassador and the deputy envoy bowed to the ship together, and several Japanese monks also clasped their hands. Xue Huaiyi stood firm at the bow of the boat, clasped his hands into fists, and made a circle to them. Yang Fan watched his movements, how he looked like a street performer.

can be a ninth-rate character who sells street performers and sells strong pills, and can have such a legendary experience as Xue Huaiyi. Which one is there throughout the ages? Even when Yang Fan thought about it, he couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of life.

The sails are raised. Untie the cable. The big anchor wrung into the boat, the big ship belonging to the Shunzimen slowly went off the shore, the two sides of the Wei River are green fields, a new green tree in the middle is the mighty river of spring water, the white sails on the river are like a new cloud, slowly sailing to the distant sky......

After Xue Huaiyi's ship left Bashang. Yang Fan rode back to Chang'an. The Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty did not travel with him, and those people seemed to be very interested in the charming scenery of the smoky willows on the Ba, and after bidding farewell to Master Xiaobao, they stayed on the Ba. Enjoy the scenery.

Yang Fan sent someone to accompany them, and agreed with them to come to Japan for a banquet, and then rode his horse and took his leave. Some of these people were originally Japanese officials, and some of them would definitely become party figures after returning to China after completing their studies, and they were all people that Yang Fan could use in the future, so they naturally had to be connected.

In order to avoid a conflict of interest with the Yin Sect, Yang Fan identified the Shili development of the Sutra sect as the east and the south. Yang Fan has a strong network base in the southern states, and it is easy to ensure his shili infiltration. The southeast coast has long been densely populated with merchant ships, and Yang Fan's master is the overlord of the South China Sea, so the construction of this line is also very smooth.

As for the east, Shen Mu had already taken the lead in the north of Silla, and Yang Fan's main target was Fuso. But he started to run Dongying relatively late, Shili there is still very thin, although now with Xue Huaiyi's care, it is equivalent to having a biggest internal response in Japan, but to maintain close contact with these Tang envoys, in the future his contacts in Dongying will be more extensive, and it will be of great benefit to his Shili development, this opportunity is naturally not to be missed.

When Yang Fan was about to reach the city gate, a group of men and horses rode in the distance, running very fast, and light dust was splashed on the road, and many people who entered the city avoided both sides of the road.

At the front of the group there were a few slaves who opened the way, and when they reached the gate, they did not know what to say to the gatekeeper, and the gatekeeper quickly asked the gate to be opened, and the obstacles were removed, and the men were allowed to enter the city. When the gate was opened, the crowd rushed to the gate, and without making any stop, they drove straight in.

Yang Fan saw a few faces from that group of people who were a little familiar, but most of them couldn't be named, only vaguely remembered that they were all characters from the Guanzhong family, and only one of them Yang Fan remembered very clearly, because that person was Du Wentian's father, Du Jingting, the head of the Du family in Fanchuan.

Seeing these characters suddenly gathered together and acted in a hurry, Yang Fan couldn't help but secretly wonder: "Is something wrong?" ”

After Yang Fan returned to the city, he sent people to inquire about the news of those people, and he returned to Longqingfang, walked all the way along Zhuque Street, and when he wanted to turn to Longqingfang, dozens of horses suddenly came out of a square on the side of the road, and most of the knights on the horses wore soft feet, robes, and black leather six-fold boots.

Since they are dressed in such colors, then they are either officials in swallow clothes, or scholars with meritorious reputations, seeing their solemn expressions, hurried all the way, no one laughed, not like they were gathering to travel, so it attracted Yang Fan's attention. Yang Fan took a look, and found a few familiar faces in the crowd, and it was not Song Jing, the minister of the current dynasty, who was surrounded by everyone.

Song Jing's expression was cold, his eyes were full of anger, Yang Fan looked at it and said in his heart: "Something must have happened!" ”

It didn't take long for the person he sent to inquire about the news to send back the detailed news, and sure enough, something happened.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Erzhang is not a person who is good at forbearance, even Zhang Yizhi is only calmer than Zhang Changzong. As soon as the two brothers decided to launch a counterattack against Wei Yuanzhong, they immediately began to implement it.

They took every opportunity to slander Wu Zetian, they said: Wei Yuanzhong once publicly threatened that once the crown prince succeeded to the throne, he would be punished first! They said that Wei Yuanzhong formed a private party and bewitched them by saying that the Son of Heaven was old, so it was better to take refuge in the prince as soon as possible to ensure wealth and glory......

Wei Yuanzhong is indeed a person loyal to the crown prince, which can be felt by Wu Zetian from his words and deeds and every move in the court. Wei Yuanzhong is indeed forming a faction, in fact, how can there be an official who does not form a faction, and the more important the minister, the more so.

Throughout the ages, whether they really want to do something or just to consolidate their personal power, all those who are struggling in the eunuch journey, regardless of the level of power, have their own small circle, and even Lai Junchen, who prides himself on being a lonely minister, has a group of henchmen.

really reached the realm of lonely ministers, the mixed grandmother is not close, the uncle is not loved, the clear stream is turbid, and the loyal and traitorous are both respectful and unwilling to make friends, probably the wonderful Hai Rui of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that later generations are accustomed to calling the ancients he admires a party as loyal and righteous fellow believers, and the people he hates are called embarrassed and traitorous, and for the Son of Heaven, as long as he forms a party, it is what he dislikes and vigilance, and it does not affect the nature of things for any purpose.

Wei Yuanzhong did say some words that criticized Erzhang and even dissatisfied with Wu Zetian, although he wouldn't say it as explicit as what Erzhang told Wu Zetian, but Erzhang just exaggerated, or directly broke the subtext that Wei Yuanzhong didn't say, but it wasn't chasing after the wind and shadows, and there was no basis for his words.

Because of these reasons, coupled with Wu Zetian's excessive dependence and trust on the two lovers in his later years, she completely accepted Erzhang's words, and Wu Zetian became extremely angry, which she thought was disrespectful to her and a challenge to her authority. And Wu Zetian's consistent attitude towards all enemies who try to provoke her authority is to crack down hard, and would rather kill mistakes than let them go!

As a result of her self-reflection, she thought that the reason why the ministers were so unscrupulous was because she had been too tolerant in recent years, and the ministers had lost their respect for her, so she decided to severely punish Wei Yuanzhong and make an example of her. But she also knew that based on these words alone, at most, Wei Yuanzhong would be sentenced to a speechless sentence, and a prime minister could not be severely punished, so she instructed Erzhang to find out a more serious crime.

Since he decided to establish his might, Wu Zetian decided to do whatever it takes, and the two Zhang understood it and immediately concocted a weapon that Wu Zetian has always used to fight political opponents: "Rebellion!" Wei Yuanzhong tried to rebel. ”

Behind Wei Yuanzhong is the current prince, Wu Zetian doesn't think that without the prince's instructions, Wei Yuanzhong will be so unscrupulous, so she wants to severely punish Wei Yuanzhong, and at the same time beat the prince and tell him to be more peaceful. As soon as Erzhang concocted evidence of Wei Yuanzhong's rebellion, Wu Zetian issued an edict to arrest Wei Yuanzhong.

In recent years, the identity of the prince has been established, and it has become an inevitable fact in the future to return to Li, the son of heaven is old, and the heart of killing is far less than that of the year, which does make the courtiers recover some vitality from liliang to courage, and the prime ministers were arrested in the past, and the ministers will also work hard to rescue, but the means they use are mostly written and said.

The Son of Heaven stayed in the middle of the day, and the ministers did not dare to make more slanders, but this time Wu Zetian seemed to have stabbed the hornet's nest, and the rebound of the ministers was much more serious than before. In the court and in the court, hundreds of civil and military officials used all means to start admonishing as if they were bombarding intensively, and a large number of people asked to see the emperor every day.

Wu Zetian is really old, her energy is no longer enough to support her to deal with the ministers, do-for-tat struggles, and so on, so that Wu Zetian is exhausted, and only by returning to the inner palace every day can she get a short period of peace.

The firepower of the ministers' counterattack is so ferocious, of course, it can't just rely on their spontaneous liliang, this time the rebound is so strong, because there are people behind the scenes, but this person is neither the prince nor the king, when Yang Fan learned that everything had happened, this person had already rushed to the Yang Mansion to wait for him.

P: In the middle of the month, I sincerely ask for monthly passes and recommended tickets!.
