The Queen Mother sometimes has to admit that no matter how much the monarch of the first emperor Dezong was obsessed with vocal music and neglecting national politics, but at least he can know how to make good use of it, such as Pei Xiang, under his leadership, many officials in the political hall did govern the Great Zhou Dynasty to prosperity and stability, and the number of fugitives at that time was far less than the current large, and even once it was sharply reduced compared with Emperor Suzong, and the taxes paid in various places were more abundant than now, although natural disasters were inevitable, the victims could be rescued by the imperial court in time, and there was no riot in the place, and no rebellious ministers and thieves dared to stand up for themselves.

In the Dezong Dynasty, in fact, there was the strength to conquer the tribes that had gradually rebelled since Yingzong, and there was also the national strength to exterminate the new Turks who had just been restored, and to nip the hidden dangers in the bud.

Although Emperor Kedezong agreed with Pei Xiang's opinion on most political affairs, he was stubborn on the use of soldiers.

When the new Turks gradually became stronger, and the Northern Liao was eyeing each other, in fact, in the later period of the Dezong Dynasty, there was no full chance of winning the war.

Not to mention that in order to eradicate the Pei and Zheng clans, the Empress Dowager also personally sent Gaochang to the New Turks for annexation, and forced Pan Bo to commit treason and stand on his own, resulting in the loss of the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the decline of national strength.

She had always wanted to come to court officially, so she had to tolerate some corrupt officials who were her henchmen and supporters.

But even if Pei Zheng is exterminated, there will always be obstacles and accidents in the great cause of the Queen Mother, so that she has no chance to concentrate on rectifying the official system and enhancing national strength.

Even for Pan Wei, the king of Anton, the Queen Mother didn't know that Yao Qian alone was not enough to exterminate him, and the Great Zhou Dynasty was not without outstanding generals except for the children of the Jingzhao Zheng family, but these people could not make the Queen Mother trust, and they were always worried that once the military power was granted, she might turn around and force her to return the power to the Son of Heaven.

Only when she stands justifiably above the court to listen to the government, and when she really subdues the hearts of the army and the people, can she use troops without scruples.

This obviously takes a not too short time, but the Queen Mother urgently needs a convincing merit to establish authority, which is like a paradoxical problem, which has always made it difficult for the Queen Mother to solve both.

In such a situation, the active surrender of the new Turk undoubtedly made the Queen Mother's eyes shine, of course she understood that the hidden danger of the new Turk will not be eliminated because of a purposeful surrender, and it is more likely that the more weight gained, but she has no choice at this time, nothing is more important than the great cause of the dynasty, this is the maximum limit of the Empress Dowager Wei.

Accepting the submission of the new Turks can not only save the border city from restlessness for several years, but also deter the Northern Liao and Pan Rebellion, and maybe use the ambitions of the New Turks to instigate the two barbarian states to go to war.

When the Northern Liao and the New Turks suffered from each other's losses, and after the civil strife was pacified, the Great Zhou Dynasty was strengthened by her strong and strong, both the army and the finances were strengthened, and it was the time when the fisherman benefited, and at that time, it was expected that the two barbarian states would be wiped out, and it was even possible to recover the territory that had gradually been lost since Emperor Yingzong, and restore the prestige of Emperor Wuzong when all countries came to the dynasty of China!

At that time, wouldn't his merits surpass that of Queen Wen? As soon as she thought of the supreme honor that was about to be immortalized, Empress Dowager Wei's heart was surging and her blood was boiling!

Therefore, temporary indulgence is essential, Wang Huaizhun's advice is very reasonable, and he is indeed a loyal and good minister who is dedicated to the monarchy, but the queen mother can't tell her plan in its entirety, and she can't even reveal the slightest, because she understands that these big families will not approve of her own dynasty in their bones, no matter whether the Son of Heaven on the dragon chair can match her ability and foresight, even if they are cowardly and as good as Adou, but these gentlemen who are full of Confucianism and morality will still fully support the monarch's governance.

There will always be a day when she will be able to do what people can't, so that the world will return to the heart, whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, whether it is a power or a family, they all admit that although she has no ancestor to entrust the government, the dynasty seems to be out of line, but she has the ability of Yao Shun, and even better than Queen Wen, this is a model of women who do not lose their eyebrows.

However, the world is not in a hurry, the official dynasty must step up, this time Huashan Feng Zen is the Queen Mother's big step towards the goal, she has been more and more impatient with the endless accidents over the years, so under the attention of the Queen Mother, Feng Chan and other important ceremonies have been well prepared in two months - this blow is magnificent, looting a lot of materials, the so-called money is not difficult to do things, it is applicable to the common people, and it is also applicable to the monarchy.

Before Huashan sealed the Zen, the Queen Mother finally passed the preliminary assessment of Lu Li, and was determined to agree to He Yan's request and appoint him as a living man - the main job is to accompany the Son of Heaven to be idle, and the important job is to monitor the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven as the Queen Mother's eyes and ears.

Before the appointment, the Queen Mother specially met with Lu Li, and she had the intention to let Lu Li know through He Zhan's mouth that the result of the promotion that was easy to win might be idle, so she asked Lu Li if he was willing. This is not out of line, even if Da Zhou is appointed by the Ministry of Officials, there is a procedure to ask the candidate whether he is satisfied with the new job, of course, even if he is not satisfied, he will not really arrange the work that satisfies you, but Da Zhou has always not forced officials, since it is not willing, then you continue to wait for the assignment.

Different from He Zhan's thoughts, Lu Li actually agreed with Shi Niang's opinion, and did not think that the Son of Heaven was deliberately trying to suppress him, so he naturally would not be unwilling, but this happy mind could not be seen by the Queen Mother, otherwise let alone Julang, I am afraid that he would not even be able to get the job of picking up the legacy, but Lu Li couldn't tell the Queen Mother that he was unwilling, because the Queen Mother had always believed what others said, but believed in the conclusions she had obtained through observation.

Besides, it is impossible for Lu Li to say it directly - the Queen Mother clearly sees that the Holy Lord clearly intends to suppress the lower officials, and hopes that the Queen Mother will be the master of the lower officials.

After all, He Yan is the queen mother's own son, and speaking ill of the son in front of the mother is not only not in line with the style of a gentleman, but also not in line with Lu Li's wisdom, can you not talk about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister? The Son of Heaven personally appointed you as a living man, and you still dare to dislike it?! must be a chaotic thief, and he deserves to die to apologize.

It was Lu Li who could only thank the Son of Heaven for his other favor, but he did not show too much flattery, which had a somewhat reluctant appearance, and showed a slight depression during the handover period, the specific behavior was drunk several times, and composed a piano song that sounded quite sad and depressed, although it was not played in public, but since the Queen Mother had a heart, she could naturally detect this matter.

So the Queen Mother in the next "ordination speech", her attitude was much more frank than the last edict, and she directly instructed Lu Li to focus on her work, which of course does not mean that the Queen Mother has trusted Lu Li, but she doesn't care about Lu Li's plan to learn that she intends to monitor the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven, in fact, the Queen Mother's intention to come to the court is already Sima Zhao's heart, and Lu Li is not Lingnuma Gong, there is no weight that the Queen Mother cares about, and it is more conducive to the "probation period" assessment to directly explain the work tasks, in short, whether Lu Li, the living man, can be turned positive, Whether or not he can even stay in officialdom depends on his performance during the "probationary period".

However, since the Queen Mother decided to further investigate Lu Li, then it is still necessary to create opportunities for the "employees", and the living room is not Lu Li, and the rest are now on a long vacation by the Son of Heaven, and they are not close at all.

"This time the hidden order has been implemented, Xue Xuan's contribution is indispensable, just as Wei Xiang recommended when he said, this son's talent is extraordinary, to hone it, he will be the pillar of the country in the future, I originally intended to give him the job of picking up the missing and making up for it, since the sage opened his mouth to ask for people, I always don't want to disobey, but I will say it first, if the sage thinks that Xue Xuanzhi is difficult to be qualified for the position of living room, I can make other arrangements, so as not to miss the good talent of Da Zhou."

The implication is that if the Son of Heaven really intends to suppress Xue Xuanzhi, then don't let him be idle at home, at least he must be "idle" by your side, otherwise I won't let you take advantage of your wishes, the dignified Son of Heaven actually replied to the courtiers for private information, and it was a joke to spread it, I really don't know what to say.

He Yan also lazily agreed, and even ridiculed: "My son has only been talking to Mr. Ju recently, except for his own relatives, he has never seen outsiders again, his son is very uneasy because he has implicated Xue Gong and Feng Gongshang, how can he be embarrassed to involve the innocent again, what is the difference between Xue Xuanzhi being in private or following his son?" The mother is also too careful, the son is incompetent, and he has long lost his ambition, but he is just impatient and boring nonsense, and he doesn't want to let his mother misunderstand. ”

The Son of Heaven has been so yin and weird recently, and the Queen Mother sometimes even has the illusion that the person in front of her is not her own son, but the enemy He Ye!
