Chapter 1222: Martial Queen's Ambition
Empress Wu finally implicitly agreed to the deal.
Yes, a one-time pure deal, like a down-and-out and half-bald middle-aged man, on a night when no one is paying attention to him, walks into the shampoo room with the little pink lamp hanging his head.
After staying in the mysterious space for ninety minutes, he walked out with a refreshed expression, as if nothing had happened behind him, and he didn't know anyone again.
This is probably what Li Qinzai wanted to express to Empress Wu.
Do you a favor, everyone has a good relationship with each other, the relationship is better not too complicated, just maintain a purely mutually beneficial relationship, what is the rear party henchmen, what is the cultivation of power, that is your own business, and it has nothing to do with me.
Even if you want to soar into the sky, as long as your man doesn't object, I have nothing to say, and if your man smokes you, I'm just a melon eater.
After accepting this consistent money, Li Qinzai began to seriously ponder how to boost the majesty of the empress.
Although Li Qinzai has tried to stay away from the court as much as possible in recent years, there are many civil ministers and military generals who have come and gone in his life.
In real history, why Empress Wu was able to promote the "Two Saints Dynasty" and later become the emperor was because there was no variable of Li Qinzai.
According to the real historical trajectory, Li Zhi's condition is now relatively serious, and the vertigo is getting more and more serious.
So much so that not long after Li Zhi's death, Empress Wu pretended to be the queen mother for a few years, and then simply lifted the table and put on a yellow robe, the old lady wanted to be the emperor, and the old lady didn't pretend.
The confidence that supports her in doing so is that she is convinced that most of the DPRK and Central Committee are already her henchmen, and she has the strength to turn the table.
But with Li Qinzai's Tang Dynasty, the historical trajectory was bent by him.
Li Zhi's old illness was cured by Li Qinzai's home remedies, and the son of heaven, who was in good health, naturally could no longer allow outsiders to get involved in the imperial power, and the Empress Wu could only be the queen from now on, and could not cross the thunder pool by half a step.
Not only that, Li Yifu and other henchmen were cut off unexpectedly, and the matter of criticism and negligence in the early years fell into the hearts of the courtiers, and now the Empress Wu is really not good in the hearts of the courtiers.
Of course, there is nothing abnormal about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister on the surface, and when the Empress Wu accompanied Li Zhi to attend a major event, what she heard was also a mountain of shouts.
But in fact, the queen in the hearts of the courtiers does not have much weight.
The reasons are complex, not just because of the criticism of the times.
Later, the poisoning of Mrs. Wei and the full implementation of the imperial examination, etc., all smeared the image of the queen of Wu one after another.
Most of the courtiers in the court are still somewhat involved with the family gate valve, whether it is kinship or interests, I have to admit that Li Zhi also needs the family gate valve to help him govern the country.
The court is full of ministers of the gate valve, and naturally has no good impression of the Empress Wu who is bent on digging the corner of the gate valve, which is why Yang Hongwu and others bypassed the Empress Wu and jointly went to the draft to the Son of Heaven.
One is to deliberately disgust the Empress Wu, and the other is to hope that through the draft, a few women from the family will be installed in the palace to compete for favor with the Empress Wu, and it is best to bring her down as the queen like the Empress Wu did with the queen, so that the family valve who has been suppressed for many years can breathe a sigh of relief.
It doesn't matter if you fail, it's just the life and death of a few women.
I have to admire that Empress Wu's political sense is very sensitive, just through the fact that Yang Hongwu and others were on the draft, she sensitively noticed that it was unusual, so she immediately took action, and the direction of the action was very correct, she chose to ask Li Qinzai for help.
As Empress Wu said, if the majesty of the queen can be boosted in a short period of time, all troubles will be solved.
When the subjects of the government and the opposition respect this queen in their hearts, some conspiracies cannot succeed, this is the crushing of the royal road, and everything that is not visible will be crushed.
During the Zhenguan period, although Empress Changsun did not interfere in court politics, both courtiers and ordinary people inside and outside the court had great respect for Empress Changsun, and no one dared to have the slightest disrespect for Empress Changsun.
Even at the funeral of Empress Changsun, Xu Jingzong just laughed for no reason during the salute, and was treated by the angry courtiers as if he was worse than dead, and was sent to an idle post and could not turn over, until Li Zhi ascended the throne.
What Empress Wu wants to achieve is the majesty of Empress Changsun, the majesty that the government and opposition subjects respect from the bottom of their hearts.
Things are a bit difficult to do, and it is okay to boost the majesty of the queen a little, but if the Empress Wu wants to reach the status of the eldest grandson empress, it is simply a fool's dream.
These two women are completely different in nature.
Unless the Empress Wu can keep to herself and play a virtuous queen for a lifetime, she will be exposed sooner or later.
Li Qinzai knows very well that Empress Wu has nothing to do with the word "virtuous", she is actually a politician through and through.
The money has always been accepted, which is a bit hot, but it is not a big problem.
From the perspective of dealing with the family gatekeeper, Li Qinzai felt that she should be helped with this, and the situation in the court and palace is relatively balanced, although there are constant turmoil, but on the whole, all aspects of the forces have formed a checks and balances.
This balance cannot be broken, Li Qinzai almost paid for this country, he does not want the sacrifice of himself and countless soldiers, in exchange for turmoil in the government and the opposition.
Originally, after solving Lu Jiayiduo, Li Qinzai returned to Ganjingzhuang to continue to be his teacher, but now he has taken on a big job, and it seems that he can't leave Chang'an for the time being.
I feel a little regretful in my heart, as if those little bastards have been delayed in their studies again.
It doesn't matter, Li Qinzai can make amends.
So when he wrote down a lot of topics, he sent the song to Ganjingzhuang.
This is the homework assigned to them by Li Qinzai, and he wrote a separate letter to Princess Xuancheng, telling her and Princess Yiyang to supervise the studies of the little bastards, or the old way, gentle and domineering, sticks and whips fly together.
The amount of homework assigned is a bit large, and Li Qinzai roughly estimated that in the next month, the little bastards will probably doubt their lives.
This is very comfortable, and Li Qinzai feels refreshed from the inside out.
Li Qinzai slept very well that night, calculating the hour, the trilogy should have sent a large amount of homework to Ganjingzhuang, and the little bastards at this time should be wiping their tears while hurrying to work.
Thinking of that picture, Li Qinzai slept very sweetly, like a baby's sleep for a long time.
In the middle of the night, a sharp knock on the door woke up the porter of the Guogong Mansion.
The porter scolded and came out of his clothes, opened the side door, and saw a eunuch and a team of black-armored guards standing outside the door with solemn expressions.
"By order, Li Qinzai, the prince of Liaodong County, immediately entered the palace and took over the defense of the palace, and Su Dingfang, the prince of Xingguo, took over the defense of Chang'an.
