Chapter 62: Unscrupulous Disputes
A party is unpleasant.
In the end, you can't see each other frankly, with this layer of disguise, there is a gap that cannot be ignored, if it is a friend from the same world as yourself, how good it would be.
When he returned home, he saw that the princess was already waiting for him.
"Princess, are you waiting for your husband to come back?"
The hour is still early, and at this time, the princess is either practicing her skills, reading, or learning about some affairs between the court and China, and it is rare to sit down today.
Shen Sanwen felt that Empress Wu was a little conflicted about his son, he was not only a political enemy, but also a close relative, with the heart of hoping that his son would become a dragon, and hating iron could not become steel.
This queen mother is not so easy to do.
Princess Taiping gradually began to participate in political affairs, she was the closest and most trusted daughter of Empress Wu, and his husband was also a supporter of Empress Wu, so it was logical to take power.
is also the same, the early court information can be quickly transmitted to the princess's mansion.
"The prime minister you recommended has already participated in your copy, read it for yourself." The princess handed him a book of information about the recital.
"I recommend him just to push the boat down the river, but it can also be regarded as his revenge, spread out, he has both the name of ingratitude, but also the name of justice and selflessness, he first arrived in Chang'an, and there is no handle. By the way, that Gao Jian is his beloved apprentice. Shen Sanwen also thought about it a lot, but he also had no fear, the emperor and the queen mother should protect themselves, the martyr's department was set when the emperor was the emperor, and now he takes it out to do something, and I don't know what the officials of Chang'an will think.
"No matter who he is, he must know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and this Chang'an City is the world of my Li family, and there is no part of his Cui family's nonsense. The queen mother is undecided, but he dares to openly touch my colt, and he is the end of his servant. How to deal with him still needs to be carefully considered. Now that I have come to power, I will not make it easy for anyone who bullies him. The princess replied with an imposing attitude, and Shen San was stunned for a moment.
This can be regarded as having a backstage.
"Well, whoever bullies me, the princess will bully me back." Shen Sanwen was quite happy in his heart.
If anyone bullied the princess, he would also bully back, but first, he didn't want the princess to be wronged, and secondly, no one dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, so there was no chance to say this sentence.
Since Cui Cha has already taken action, he should also respond, Shen Sanwen immediately sent a letter to the east gate, "In the future, the martyrs will not accept donations from people surnamed Cui." Except for the jade of the Wang firm, all others are strictly investigated. Officials below the second rank of the Cui family must get off the carriage and be inspected, and the salutes they bring, no matter how light or heavy, must be carefully inspected. ”
This move openly called the Cui family, and the strict inspection of jade will inevitably cause countless damages, and the dismounting of officials will also add a lot of trouble to them. As for jade, except for a few Hu merchants, it is the world of the Cui and Wang families, and some innocent people can only sigh that their luck is not good.
At this time, the princess's participation in politics is mainly in terms of resolution, there are many government affairs in the palace, and some small matters will be handed over to the princess to deal with, and the princess can also suggest major military and political matters. It doesn't seem to be real power, but he can be familiar with the country's operating procedures, and major events can directly affect the decisions of the Empress Wu. Princess Weiguo Taiping participates in politics, and there will be no long-sighted people to comment on whether she is involved in politics or not.
However, this move, there are indeed some people who have a lot of complaints, Gao Zongtuo's military and political affairs are important in the military queen, and the tiger charm did not fall into the hands of Li Xian and Li Lun, these ministers do not know the inside story, and are influenced by Confucian concepts, thinking that it is not advisable to take the military queen's chicken Sichen.
The matter that was not discussed in the morning was completed, and when the princess and the lord arrived in the afternoon, they could start to discuss. Since Pei Yan supported the new emperor, Wu Zetian trusted him even more, and this time Pei Yan also understood the mind of Empress Wu, Princess Taiping was present, could he not let him support Cui Cha.
Pei Yan no longer had the silence of the early dynasty, "It is the will of the first emperor to compensate the martyrs, and as for the smashing of goods, the other three gates are also inevitable. ”
Cui Cha knew Pei Yan's energy, and he didn't dare to refute it easily.
Empress Wu asked again, "Does Cui Aiqing still have this performance?" ”
Cui Cha was even more speechless in his heart, and then began to ask if there was anything else going on? Are you going to get to the bottom of it? That's the end of the matter? He was a new servant, although he knew the power of the princess, but he didn't expect Pei Yan to be a lonely minister who could speak for a little colt, so he had to give up entanglement at the moment. "The minister thinks that the guards should be loyal to their duties, and they should not harm the prestige of our Tang Dynasty for small profits and exploit business travel. Since the Martyrs' Department was supported by the emperor and a voluntary donation, the minister had nothing to say. ”
Shen Sanwen immediately came out of the ranks, "What Lord Cui said is extremely true, for Lord Cui to play the East Gate guard's investigation is not strict, the minister has ordered rectification. As for the exploiting merchants, there is no such thing. The minister still remembers that when Luoyang Chang'an was affected, Doumi was 400 Wen, if someone really exploited Shangjia, it was really happy, but unfortunately the Tang Dynasty had strict laws, and the saint and the queen mother were wise, and no one tried the law. The last time the disaster came, the martyrs withdrew 100 gold for disaster relief, and they were united in their hearts, not in their pursuit of wealth and wealth. Compared with those social moths who are still a hairless in the current national crisis, these people who have military merits in the east gate of wealth and silk can still afford to endure the hardships of the sun and rain. ”
Cui Cha saw the rumored gentle and kind colt for the first time, but he didn't expect that it was a master who hid needles in the cotton and did not forgive, but unfortunately there was no way to deal with him for a while, so he could only find him for language errors. "The horse's words are wrong, and those who are officials should be honest and honest, what is the exploitation of businessmen. If everyone fights violence with violence and punishes evil with evil, where is the law of the Tang Dynasty? If you use your power to oppress the people, what is the difference between them and those who are unkind and unjust? Moreover, those goalkeepers were favored by the Tang Dynasty, and they had their own compensation for their hard work, and they were stigmatized by the name of the man, and the officials could not agree with them. ”
Shen Sanwen couldn't refute what he said, but he just ridiculed this person with words, but taught him to find fault and degrade him to the point where he couldn't do it.
When Empress Wu heard Cui Cha so eloquent, she was a little appreciative.
Seeing this, the princess was even more unhappy, "Bold Cui Cha, the martyr was awarded by his father, and he was a meritorious person who defended the country, why not get this pension." If there is no sacrifice of these soldiers, Tubo and Turks would have been driven straight in, which will harm the livelihood of my Tang Dynasty, how can Lord Cui stand on the temple and talk eloquently? If the merchant is unable to donate, he can enter from the east gate, the north gate, and the west gate, and the martyr earns 100 gold a month, which shows that the Tang Dynasty soldiers and civilians are united, and there are good businessmen who are willing to do their part for the martyrs. Lord Cui belittled these meritorious people so much, he was really ashamed of the python robe on his body, and those who knew only said that Lord Cui was conformist and stubborn, and those who did not know were afraid to think that unscrupulous businessmen would have a share of Lord Cui. ”
