Chapter 5 A Regent for You?
In the early morning, the sky was bright.
Li Changsheng was dragged up from the bed by Wu Zetian.
"Go to a court meeting with me."
"What are you doing? I haven't slept enough! ”
Li Changsheng, who was disturbed by his sweet dream, reluctantly said:
"Your Majesty, spare me, I'm not a minister."
"Less nonsense, get dressed."
Wu Zetian threw a few brand-new clothes to Li Changsheng, got out of bed and sat in front of the mirror, and the maid combed his makeup.
"Oops."
Li Changsheng complained bitterly in his heart.
[This old lady, annoying to death! ] 】
"Smack."
Wu Zetian's rouge bottle was broken.
Li Changsheng didn't dare to say more.
…
The morning meeting came as scheduled.
Wu Zetian did not shy away from taking Li Changsheng's hand into the hall.
The ministers were a little surprised.
Yesterday, he was still a prisoner with uncertain life and death, how could he change today and become so close to the empress?
If you don't have a story, you can't tell it!
The ministers looked at Li Changsheng with a little strange eyes.
[What to see?] A bunch of rice buckets. 】
Li Changsheng, who was already on fire, complained angrily in his heart:
[It's not okay to tell you to fight, gossip is the first place. 】
[If this seat makes a move, only 300,000 coalition troops... Scold! 】
Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows.
Listening to Li Changsheng's meaning, he seemed to have come up with a strategy to meet the enemy.
You'll have to keep an eye out for what he has to say.
Secretly decided, Wu Zetian sat on the dragon chair, put his hands on the armrests, and ordered another personal female official, Shangguan Wan'er, to move the bench for Li Changsheng, and put it on the edge of his dragon chair, next to himself.
It was the first time Shangguan Wan'er saw Wu Zetian value a man so much, so she couldn't help but look at Li Changsheng twice.
At these two glances, Li Changsheng was unhappy again:
[It's an old lady again.] 】
[It's not bad, but it's not as beautiful as the little emperor.] 】
[Look at this seat again, ask the little emperor to give you to me as a maid! ] 】
This bad man, good heart!
Yesterday I said I would protect me!
Wu Zetian couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, muttered, looked upright, faced the ministers, avoided red tape, went straight to the point, and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe everyone has seen the document of the eight-hundred-mile urgency, the Turkic army is heading south, do you have a strategy against the enemy?"
As soon as these words came out, the chattering ministers were quiet.
The audience was silent.
The hall was so quiet that even the heartbeat of everyone could be heard:
"Puff, puff, puff..."
It's not that they're dumb, it's that they really don't have a way to break the game.
At present, the Great Zhou, which is in ruins, can raise an army of 150,000 at most.
This is not at all the same order of magnitude as 300,000 nomadic iron horsemen!
"What? Doesn't anyone have a decision? ”
Wu Zetian's cold voice asked a second time.
Long.
"Your Majesty, or... Summation, right? ”
Hengguo Gong Zhang Yizhi took a step forward and said cautiously:
"It's better to pay compensation for land cession than to step on the imperial city!"
This proposal is clearly a lot of people's interest.
Many people's eyes were loose, and they had the intention of reconsideration.
But when they caught a glimpse of the coldness that flashed in Wu Zetian's eyes...
Shrink from the sight of (something dangerous or difficult)!
Before the other army came in, they were beheaded by Wu Zetian first.
"Heng Guogong, this law doesn't work, and the land can't be caught, so you can step back, and don't mention this law again."
Wu Zetian waved his hand coldly, bluntly rejected the idea of peace among the ministers, looked at the other courtiers, and said:
"Is there anything else you can do?"
The ministers looked at each other.
No one answered.
"Hmph, what do I want you to do?"
Wu Zetian turned his head to look at Li Changsheng, his eyes instantly turned into rare tenderness, and his voice was a little softer:
"Little sir, do you have any countermeasures?"
Li Changsheng got up neatly, bent down neatly, and clenched his fists neatly.
When the ministers were wondering if he was a hidden genius...
He said neatly:
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't."
He doesn't like to expose his intellect.
…
The ministers were embarrassed and scolded secretly:
You can't get up so neatly?
Last night, General Delou of the Nalou division even sneered:
"Hehe, it's just a clown."
And the sneering faces of a group of people, Wu Zetian ignored them.
She heard Li Changsheng's voice again:
[Why are these girls' courtiers all a bunch of rice buckets? 】
[Counterinsurgency, this is not simple? 】
[You are the emperor of the destiny of heaven, you first make a false and wronged snake, send people to negotiate peace with those small tribes, promise heavy benefits, and make them submit. 】
[If money is not good, kill chickens and monkeys, pick a strong and not difficult to gnaw bone, and plant its nine tribes to deter those small tribes. 】
[If these troubles are solved, the big tribe will be better solved.] 】
[A tribe, there is a main battle faction, there must be a main peace faction, there must be ill-intentioned people, isn't betrayal a common thing? 】
[You just draw a big pie, anyway, you won't cash it in the end, how big you draw it, let them beat themselves.] 】
[The snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits, you finally sent someone to end the battle, and by the way, these traitors were solved, isn't this battle over? ] 】
Because Wu Zetian is the emperor, it's as simple as that.
Li Changsheng has seen the rise and fall of too many dynasties, and he is very aware of the biggest weakness of these centralized organizations:
They were too loyal to the emperor, even these rebels.
Under the brainwashing accumulated by generations of imperial courts, the idea that the emperor's destiny is greater than heaven has been planted in everyone's bones.
The rebellion of the nomads was also a last resort, their living conditions were too poor, if Wu Zetian promised them wealth and glory...
Hehe, in less than a month, the so-called alliance will surely collapse!
Loyalty, it's just that the bargaining chips for betrayal are not enough.
Wu Zetian was shocked.
At this moment, her mind was full of Li Changsheng's heart.
Oh my God, how can he even be so strong in the art of war?
"My little man, I will go back and reward you slowly!"
Shocked is shocked, but under his feet is the court, and it is inconvenient for Wu Zetian to express his admiration to Li Changsheng.
She gathered her thoughts, changed Li Changsheng's heart slightly, and repeated it to the courtiers in the audience without changing her face.
That moment.
The ministers were horrified, and they were horrified like never before.
For the first time, they had heard that a war could be fought like this.
Meantime.
Their awe of Wu Zetian has been raised to a higher level.
What does it mean to be unscrupulous?
This is called unscrupulous!
What a femme fatale!
Li Changsheng was also a little surprised:
[This little girl still has a little brain. 】
[Can you think of this solution?] 】
[In this era when Confucianism is dominant, the world has four books and five classics on their lips, and Jinglun poems and texts in their hearts, it is not easy to have such an advanced understanding of war, and he is a genius. 】
In Confucianism, there is no soldier who is not tired of deceit, and it is said that sophistry is supreme and goes back on his word.
Wu Zetian is pretty and red.
Wouldn't it be bad to steal the little immortal's strategy like this?
Well, I'll have to compensate him.
"By the way, before going to war, I have one thing to declare."
After thinking about it, Wu Zetian suddenly smiled brightly, pointed at Li Changsheng, and said:
"Biography, my will, from today onwards, he, Li Changsheng, is the first and last person since the founding of my Great Zhou..."
"Regent!"
