Chapter Twenty-Four: Forty-two Years of Age, Like a Dream
The whole thing has almost nothing to do with her.
Is it her fault that she's pretty?
If it weren't for Li Longji's boldness, where would there be such a stinking tattered thing that has been left for thousands of years?
Throughout the history books.
There is no book that says that the Anshi Rebellion was caused by Yang Yuhuan.
It is all written that Li Longji was addicted to pleasure and neglected political affairs, which led to Li Linfu's dictatorship and blocked the road for the border generals to enter the dynasty as prime minister.
In the end, after the border generals made meritorious contributions, there was no way to seal them, and there was no reward for them, so Li Longji could only continue to add seals to show his favor.
In the fifth year of Tianbao, Wang Zhongsi concurrently served as the envoy of the four towns of Hexi, Longyou, Shuofang and Hedong, leading more than 250,000 troops.
It is better than An Lushan, which came later.
You must know that the later An Lushan was only the envoy of the Three Towns Festival, and the number of soldiers was less than 200,000.
Nearly half of the world's soldiers and horses are in the hands of Wang Zhonghe, and Li Longji can't sleep peacefully.
At his behest, Li Linfu framed Wang Zhonghei and wanted to unite the prince to rebel.
Xuanzong Li Longji took the opportunity to order the interrogation of Wang Zhonghe, tortured him in prison, and finally wanted to kill him directly.
If it weren't for Ge Shuhan's persuasion, Wang Zhongsi might have been dragged to the vegetable market to be beheaded.
In the end, Wang Zhonghe's result was still not good, and he died depressed at home at the age of forty-five.
A large part of the reason for the An Lushan rebellion is because of this.
The bleak evening scene of the former Four Towns Festival reminds him that there is no good end in the end.
Moreover, he is a Hu man, far from catching up with the relationship between Wang Zhongsi and Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji, and there are no ministers in the court to help intercede.
Knowing that he would not escape death, he simply pulled the flag and rebelled.
Speaking of which, the Anshi Rebellion really has nothing to do with Yang Yuhuan.
Even if there is no Yang Yuhuan, Li Longji will still find a Zhang Yuhuan and Li Yuhuan.
But the end result is ridiculous.
Everyone in the world actually threw the pot on the head of a weak woman.
Come to mind.
Li Mao looked down at the officials in the palace.
Whether it is Li Linfu or Xiao Song's party, they are all happy to see the beheading of Yang Yuhuan.
Only Yang Guozhong spoke out against it.
Li Mao took a deep breath to calm down her good mood before she spoke.
"The enthronement ceremony costs the people and money, so there is no need to do it."
"Most of the Jingguan of the Tang Dynasty are here, just know it."
"As for reporting to heaven and worshipping the temple, we will wait for Chang'an to completely quell the chaos."
"Since He Qing wants to live for a long time, I am not a ruthless person, so I will approve it!"
It's not that Li Mao is ruthless.
It's really He Zhizhang who is too old, and he is eighty years old this year.
History has made a difference.
Who knows if He Zhizhang can live to retire at the age of eighty-six?
Li Mao is not the emperor who wants his courtiers to die in office.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
He Zhizhang was very disappointed after hearing the emperor's words.
The spirit of the whole person immediately dissipated.
It looks like it's going to be done.
Because of what he just said, Li Mao did not answer a word positively.
And there is no honor that a normal minister should have.
There are no three words and three stays.
There is no false title to be sealed.
There is no Yin Feng descendants.
This means that Li Mao is very dissatisfied.
looked at He Zhizhang's shaky steps.
Li Mao's heart was full of thoughts.
I don't know if there will be a "Homecoming Doll Book" in this world!
"When I was young, I left home and went back, and my hometown voice has not changed, and my sideburns have declined."
"When children don't know each other, they smile and ask where do they come from?"
Unconsciously, this quatrain for the ages blurted out.
He Zhizhang, who was about to walk out of the door, was suddenly stunned.
I can't help but think of my own experience.
In the first year of Wu Zhouzhengsheng, he studied hard for 30 years, and finally won the top prize in high school at the age of 36.
Then he was awarded the title of Dr. Guozi Simen, and later moved to Dr. Taichang, and successively served as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, secretary and supervisor.
Twenty-five years now, forty-two years have passed since I returned to my hometown.
Forty-two years have passed, like a dream, and it is time to go back to my hometown when I was young to see it.
Come to mind.
He Zhizhang's depression disappeared and he became very free.
Retracted his right foot, which had already stepped out of the door, and turned back to bow deeply to Li Mao.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for waking up Weichen."
"I can't imagine that Your Majesty has such a poetic talent, if Weichen can be twenty years younger, he will definitely follow him and listen to His Majesty's teachings."
"Weichen is old, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see Your Majesty again!"
After finishing speaking, He Zhizhang stopped remembering, took a step, and walked out of Daming Palace with his head held high.
The officials in the palace looked envious.
Although He Zhizhang Zhishi did not have any treatment, but the emperor gave him a poem, which was enough to leave his name in history.
"Ahem!"
Li Mao coughed lightly, interrupting the officials' thoughts.
Li Linfu was extremely glamorous and immediately spoke.
"Your Majesty, can the policy offered by Wei Chen be implemented?"
There was a lot of discussion among the officials in the palace, some who agreed with it, and some who opposed it with the reason of He Zhizhang just now.
And so on.
Li Mao looked at the Daming Palace, which gradually began to make noise, thought for a while, and shook his head gently.
"If I open my mouth to borrow money from a rich businessman now, I will inevitably be laughed at by the world."
"If the world is peaceful, it doesn't hurt to borrow it."
"But now, the world is about to be in turmoil. If the envoys of the states knew that we needed to borrow the money we had to give to the soldiers, then they would ......"
Few of the officials are stupid.
Needless to say, they know it.
The Jiedu envoy knew that the emperor had no money, and he would definitely not be willing to follow the emperor!
Being a soldier eats food is not a joke.
The big-headed soldier doesn't care if you're the emperor or not.
Whoever gives food and money fights for whomever they serve.
This is also the reason why An Lushan can lay down half of the Tang Dynasty.
Jiedu makes control of local finances, and soldiers' military salaries are all issued by Jiedu envoys.
As a result, the grassroots soldiers only knew that there was a temperance envoy, but they did not know that there was an emperor.
At this time, Li Mao's mind was full of money.
A penny is hard to beat a hero.
The 300,000 copper coins also stumped Li Mao, the emperor.
Li Mao felt that he was the same as Emperor Chongzhen now.
is about to lose the country because of the lack of money to fight.
Wrong!
Thinking of Emperor Chongzhen, Li Mao suddenly had an idea in his heart.
Of course, it is not like him to ask officials to solicit donations.
Instead, like the king, he directly went to those corrupt officials to get trouble, and went to their homes to get it.
As for who are corrupt officials in Chang'an City, Li Mao can't tell for a while.
But the officials who don't come to the court today are certainly not clean.
Find them to take some money urgently, and no one can pick out a typo!
"How many Jingguan didn't arrive today?"
Li Linfu didn't know why, but he still looked up and looked back.
Fortunately, the officials stood in an extremely orderly manner.
At a glance, you can roughly calculate how many people are vacant.
"Your Majesty, there are about two hundred people who have not arrived today."
Li Mao was overjoyed when she heard this.
"Zhao Gao, you go and order the soldiers and horses, arrest all these people who have not arrived, and register them and hand them in today."
"The old slave obeys!"
Zhao Gao took the order and walked out of Daming Palace quickly.
