Chapter 42 Concocting the hearts of the people
Only Feng Gu will inevitably not be able to become a qualified prime minister, Di Renjie can achieve this point, which has a lot to do with his ability to think and be sensitive to action. He's a man of action, (the author is a brainstorm.) )
After a little discussion with Lou Shide, Di Renjie had already made up his mind and went home to write the recital.
No one could stop what this stubborn donkey had decided.
In the early dynasty, the ministers were a little comfortable, and what they played was just some trivial things, such as the official assessment, where the county order won the hearts of the people, where there was a bad business that needed to be dealt with strictly, and Dali Temple reported a few cases, which should be a wake-up call for the world. A group of officials made full use of exaggerated assumptions to explain trivial matters, slightly elaborate, and analyze them from various angles such as social, economic, and cultural, and then aroused feelings for their family and country, love for the people, and show their loyalty.
There was no proclamation from Junchen, and there was no great gift from the country, and the court was peaceful and boring.
thought that the dynasty should be dispersed early, and everyone was ready, Di Renjie invited his recital.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a good performance, if he is stable today, he should establish the prince and settle the hearts of the people in the world, and the matter of fighting for the prince since ancient times will cause the hundred officials of the court to shake, and the heavy will be the same room, and the prince should be established as soon as possible, and the inheritance of the clan will be clarified, so that the prince can be prepared and learn to deal with government affairs."
When Emperor Wu heard this, his frustration in the morning immediately turned into anger, am I still alive and well? However, he relied on his temperament and asked, "Di Aiqing, who do you think should be appointed as the prince?" ”
Di Renjie said righteously, "Li Xian, the king of Luling, is His Majesty's son-in-law and should be the crown prince." ”
Emperor Wu glanced around, "What do you think?" Tell me today who you will appoint as princes. ”
The court was divided into three factions, led by Di Renjie and Zhang Cambodia, who supported the king of Luling, and those headed by Wang Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Yao Chong, the waiter of the criminal department, supported Wudan, and the rest of Lou Shide, Wu Sansi, Song Jing and others did not speak, and they were neutral and stable. It is rare for Emperor Wu to take the initiative to ask him about this, and it is good to make a statement on this matter, so as to win a fortune in front of the new monarch.
Emperor Wu snorted coldly, and immediately knelt down under the court, but the voice of the prince did not decrease at all, and then changed the hexagram, he really became a villain, offended both of them, and there would be no good fruit to eat in the future.
Emperor Wu was forced to retreat from the court, everyone dispersed, only Di Renjie still followed up with the palace in his heart, and Emperor Wu listened to his verbosity, but still did not set up this prince.
Di Renjie left, and Shen San asked.
Shen Sanwen was worried in his heart, he didn't go to the early court today, I don't know if the court is as the news said, half of the court asks the prince to be appointed, if more than half, where is this invitation, this is about to become persecution.
Emperor Wu glanced at him, and when he saw him saluting without awe, he always felt a little dissatisfied, "The court asked for the crown prince, but I am not satisfied with these two sons, so you and I will handle this matter well and block the mouths of this leisurely people." ”
Shen Sanwen's surprised eyes were about to pop out, "Huh?" Shall I do this? ”
Emperor Wu spoke a little faster, and seemed a little impatient, "This matter is not unrelated to you, don't do nothing all day, you go back and think more, don't be so lazy and waste a good mind." These old ministers are stubborn, and I am also quite bored, so I solved them as soon as possible to restore my life. ”
Shen Sanwen felt that he should be cold, and responded very embarrassed, "Oh." ”
The pen in Emperor Wu's hand couldn't write anymore, so he smashed it directly, "Get out." ”
Early in the morning, I came to hear such a sentence and was driven away. Shen Sanwen yawned, shook his head, sobered up, and then rushed home.
Shen San asked: "Princess, why did Wang Qian's old man suddenly support Wudan." ”
The princess was as calm as usual, "His son, your good brother Wang Bin, returned to Beijing this month and has become the right-hand man of the imperial brother, don't you know yet." ”
Shen Sanwen really didn't know, "No wonder, I haven't been with him for a long time, I just said that he was returning to his hometown to socialize, get married and have children, but I didn't expect to come back." Then this person is easy to handle, Yao Chong didn't turn his head to follow his Shangguan Zhang Cambodia, which surprised me. ”
The princess looked at the news of the early dynasty seriously, and replied, "How long has Zhang Khan been here, Yao Chong can stand firm in the criminal department, and he still inherits Liu Renliang's love, so he will definitely support the four emperor brothers." Among these people, only Yao Chong needs to work hard, and I will wait for your good news. ”
Shen Sanwen yawned, continued to go back to sleep, and rested to do things. There are a lot of things going on today, and I have to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty the Emperor, and I have to accompany my son to play and choose a master, and I have to receive distinguished guests from afar.
Before he could get up, there was another small storm in the palace.
Wudan's two sons, Li Chengqi was cultivated by his father for many years, and his temperament was mild, Li Longji was born late, and his personality was influenced by many virtuous ministers, and he admired the free and easy scribes even more. On this day, Fan Yunxian, the eunuch who had served Emperor Wu for many years, met Li Longji, who came to meet him, in the imperial garden. Fan Yunxian saw Li Longjisheng's handsome appearance and innocent and simple smile, so he praised a few words, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in his heart, today I am afraid that everyone will not be so polite to this little prince.
Li Longji has always entered the palace unimpeded, but now there is a roadblock, the guard general Wu Yizong saw Li Longji, and insinuated against the general surnamed Li next to him, "This is the son of the future prince, why don't you report quickly when you enter the palace, your surname is Li, why is you so blind." ”
Although Li Longji was a few years old, he also knew that this person was yin and yang and had bad intentions, so he immediately fought back, "This is the court of my Li family, the guard of the Li family, who are you who dare to scold my Li family's guard like this." ”
Wu Yizong was very angry when he heard this, and now the Son of Heaven is surnamed Wu, and he immediately arrested Li Longji.
Seeing this, Fan Yunxian hurriedly came out to stop him, "General Wu is angry, it's just a child's joke, why take it seriously." ”
Wu Yizong didn't want to refute the face of the emperor's close attendant, after all, Fan Yunxian had been serving by his side since Emperor Wu entered the palace, so it was not easy to offend, but he had no intention of letting Li Longji go.
Although Li Longji entered the palace safely to meet the emperor's grandmother, he was not able to leave the palace safely, and Wu Yizong intercepted him on the way out of the palace.
The last words he heard before he fell unconscious were, "It's just a concubine of a prince who has fallen out of favor, this court has long been surnamed Wu, who to show off his martial arts and show his might, change his clothes, and send it to Wu Youji." ”
Li Longji had not returned for a long time, and soon Wu Dan learned about it and was worried. Since the change in the court, Wudan has been living in a simple place, ignoring the world, it is a matter of parents and children, and he can no longer sit still, and go to the palace to inquire in person. Fan Yunxian expected that this move would make Emperor Wu dissatisfied, and truthfully informed the dispute between the two, and Wu Yizong did not dare to murder the royal prince, thinking that he would not have to worry about his life, but he would suffer some hardships.
Not long after, Li Longji really returned safely.
It's just that the paper can't contain the fire, and Wu Dan entered the palace and conspired with Fan Yunxian, so that people with a heart learned about it, and they added fuel and vinegar to Emperor Wu. Fan Yunxian actually knew but did not report, covering up his deeds for Wudan, this is already a real betrayal, under the questioning of Emperor Wu, Fan Yunxian told the truth, but now at the moment of the turmoil in Lichu, Fan Yunxian has always supported Wudan, Emperor Wu did not believe it at all, and ordered Junchen to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Fan Yunxian was beaten by Lai Junchen for a while, and soon died. It's easy to do when people die, and Lai Junchen finally made Emperor Wu believe that Wu Dan had evil intentions, colluded with the palace people, and plotted against him.
Emperor Wu blamed Wudan for monitoring the court, being disloyal and unfilial, and Wudan had words of suffering.
Soon, Wu Yizong framed the two imperial concubines of Wudan for using witchcraft to curse Emperor Wu, and the two were executed, Li Chengqi and Li Longji suffered the pain of losing their mother when they were young, and Wudan promoted Li Longji's mother to his wife in order to protect Li Longji, and Li Longji obtained the status of a son-in-law.
Of course, many things happened after Shen Sanwen woke up.
Shen Sanwen woke up and first took his son to the restaurant to see Wang Bin.
Wang Bin is as fluttering in red as before, but he has added a bit of dignified and calm temperament.
Shen Sanwen joked with him when he met, "Xiao Wen, this is your Uncle Wang, remember, the people in this bright red dress are enthusiastic, hee-hee-ha, without the decisive temperament of being a general, you are not allowed to learn from your Uncle Wang in the future." ”
Wang Bin had cold sweat on his forehead, and the most regrettable thing in his life was not to miss sincere love, but to make friends carelessly and "say goodbye".
Shen San asked to stop him, "I haven't seen you for a long time, just leave when you meet?" My son is still here, and he won't save any face for your brother? Come, ask, ask Uncle Wang to hug you. ”
Shen Xiaowen was very obedient, "Uncle Wang hugs, Xiao Wen wants to buy a sword, Uncle Wang asks Xiao if it's okay to buy it." ”
Wang Bin nodded, still very happily hugged him, and sighed with emotion, "I haven't seen you for a long time, your son is so old." ”
Shen San asked, "Xiao Wen, do you want to go to Uncle Wang's house as a guest?" ”
Shen Xiaowen obediently opened his eyes wide, full of anticipation, "Is it okay Uncle Wang?" ”
Wang Bin touched the little guy's head, "Really good, after eating, go home with Uncle Wang." He looked at Shen San again and asked, "Why did you call me out today?" ”
Shen San asked: "You haven't heard anything in the past three years, and I only learned that you have returned to Beijing recently, so I care about it." ”
Wang Bin sighed, "My father asked me to go to the training and run around for the affairs of the clan, so I returned to Beijing after I was busy." ”
Shen San asked: "You have been busy for three years, what are the results?" ”
Wang Bin: "It's just that I act according to orders, and the results have nothing to do with me." ”
Shen Sanwen felt that this must be a big deal, and after three years of arrangement, he couldn't communicate with outsiders. "Have you thought about supporting Wudan?"
Wang Bin was silent for a while, "Can we not talk about political affairs?" It's good to reminisce about the past. ”
Shen San asked: "I am doing this on the orders of His Majesty, no." ”
Wang Bin: "What is Your Majesty's order?" ”
Shen San asked: "You tell me first, is the Wang family really fully supporting Wudan?" ”
Wang Bin: "Why don't you tell me first, who can be this prince, and who do you support." ”
Shen Sanwen felt that he should have been a little angry when he heard this, but he couldn't get angry. After many years, today it is really its own master, and here I am asking the questions that I know well.
"If you can trust me, then let your father restrain the Wang family, Wudan is not a concubine, nor is he a virtuous monarch, and His Majesty's throne cannot be inherited by him no matter what."
Wang Bin shook his head, "This matter is far beyond my control, and if I can, I don't want the Wang family to get involved in this dispute." ”
Shen Sanwen perked up, "It's okay for you to think so." ”
Wang Bin: "Now that the king of Luling is far away in Fangzhou, he is no different from the Shuren, why can't Wudan be made the prince?" What you said before should not be fulfilled, whether it is Your Majesty's will, or your own thoughts. Let's analyze it today? ”
Shen San asked, "Hey, Wudan is unlucky." ”
Wang Bin: "... Do you analyze it like this? ”
Shen San asked and took a sip of wine, "How is the situation in the court now?" ”
Wang Bin: "Now sixty percent of officials support the establishment of the prince. Wu Dan intended to make concessions, and Li Tang's courtiers supported King Li Luling, but Yao Chong and other courtiers had no deep friendship with King Luling and did not agree. The real power positions in the control of the finance and taxation army, the Wu family, the Li family, and the Cui family accounted for one-third. Since Cui Cha's resignation, the Cui family has gradually split into three lines, one to win over the Li family, one to take refuge in the princess, and the other to insist on neutrality. Di Renjie was in a hurry to establish a prince, but the Wu clan was brutal, and he was worried that the Wu clan would abuse power and endanger the people. The princess, with the help of Song Jing and Shangguan Wan'er, inspected the officials, installed henchmen, knew the court situation well, and her power was no less than that of Wudan. ”
Shen San asked, "What about Master Lou?" ”
Wang Bin: "Lou Shide insisted on neutrality, but some of his subordinates supported Li Xian. ”
Shen San asked: "Does Li Xian not have this intention?" ”
Wang Bin: "I haven't been in contact with the King of Luling, but I heard that the King of Luling is very affectionate, and he should be a benevolent monarch." ”
Shen San asked: "If the king of Luling is very affectionate, how can he come to the throne for the first time." Even if he is merciful, how can he ensure that his subordinates are also merciful, so that Wudan and the princess can only compromise and seek satisfaction, and it is inevitable that it will be dangerous. ”
However, when Wang Bin said this, it can be seen that Wudan has persuaded everyone to support Li Xian, and six adults support Li Xian, what is this concept? He was just a commoner in a foreign country, and someone paved the road for him, how could it be smooth?
Wang Bin drank silently.
Shen San asked someone who suddenly thought of an important person, "What about the Wu Clan?" Is there a connection between Wu Sansi and King Luling? ”
Wang Bin: "Are you stupid, Wu Chengsi still wants to be the prince, how could Wu Sansi abandon his cousin and support Li Xian?" ”
This doesn't make sense, if there are only these Li Tang ministers and the Wu clan is opposed, Li Xian can't sit on this prince. After all, above the court, Emperor Wu attaches great importance to balance, and the Wu family's right to speak is not low. Unless the two parties reach an agreement and support Li Xian, he can sit on the throne of this prince. Li Xian became the crown prince and devoted himself to pleasure, and then in Wu Zetian's later years, he successfully ascended to the throne. When he returned to Beijing, these ministers were able to build trust with him.
Wu Sansi must have taken refuge in King Luling.
People in the world, people in the court, there are many people who care about interests, but few who care about who the emperor is. Only when the court is up and down and the caliber is the same, can Emperor Wu mistakenly think that the world thinks of Tang, and he is forced by the people to set up Li Xian, the prince, and the people's mind and control of this layout are not bad. Referring to the history of later generations, the only person who can have this courage and execution of the Wu family is Wu Sansi. He had already reached an agreement with Li Xian to support the new monarch, and even made a marriage for his son to Li Bao'er.
The two factions in the court are unanimous, and there is Shangguan Wan'er in the harem, so it is a complete plan.
Shen Sanwen told Wang Bin, "This matter is confidential, Xiao Wen will be handed over to you to take care of for a few days, and the following ten people will follow to protect me, and I will go back to the house first." ”
The princess was taking a lunch break, Shen Sanwen couldn't bear to disturb, and came to the study, intending to look through the list of courtiers again, but saw the courtiers next to him, mainly recording the mutual relationship between officials in the suburbs of Beijing and officials in various states, and some of them were circled.
Inside is a directory of the princess's books.
There are two columns on the left and right of the list, which are distinct, and at first glance, you can know that the left side is in favor of Li Xian, the right side is in favor of the princess, and the circled ones are neutral.
Below the list, some neutral ones are also transcribed.
It's just that I don't know if there is a problem with these people, whether there is really a problem with the Wu clan's forces.
Shen San asked after looking at it for a long time, knowing that the princess was coming, "Aren't you very busy today?" ”
Shen San asked, "I suddenly thought of something important, so I came back." Wu Sansi may have colluded with Li Xian. ”
The princess was calm, "I see. ”
Shen San asked, "What happened to the DPRK?" ”
Princess: "I'm just a little strange, some people in the court who originally supported Wu Chenghei have kept their mouths shut. Otherwise, the two adults are neutral, and the opponents should each account for 40%. ”
Shen San asked, "How many supporters are there for the princess?" ”
Princess: "It's also forty percent." ”
Shen San asked, "How should Wu Sansi deal with it?" ”
Princess: "Wu San wants it, I can't give it to him." ”
Shen San asked: "It should be that the birth of this Li Bao'er has a lot of impact on Li Xian, how do you plan to deal with it." ”
Princess: "I didn't expect that. ”
Shen San asked, "It's rare that you can't solve something." ”
In fact, there is a thing that both of them know, and the easiest way is to kill Li Xian. But the princess wouldn't do that, and Shen Sanwen couldn't do it either. Now it seems that Wudan is not subordinate, and the threat is smaller.
Tossing back and forth, it was not early, Shen Sanwen rushed to the post station to greet the distinguished guests from afar.
Xue Shao returned to Beijing from exile, and not many people knew about it. Now that Li Longji has reached the age when he should study, the time is just right.
Shen Sanwen set up a banquet for Xue Shao to wash the wind and dust, and condoled him for his years of hard work. At this time, Xue Shao was no longer the handsome young man, but the departure of his family and the frustrations of life did not change his righteous spirit. If Li Longji can have such a loving and righteous master by his side for a long time, Shen Sanwen will also be a lot more relieved.
After eating and drinking, chatting and talking, Shen Sanwen took Xue Shao to the Wudan Mansion.
Just as Li Longji went home to freshen up, he sulked gloomily in the room.
Wu Dan was very polite to Xue Shao, waited at home for a long time, and waited until the two of them arrived to greet him in person. Xue Shao is rarely famous, he is the leader of the younger generation in Chang'an, the Xue family and the Li family are long-term in-laws, Xue Shao's eldest brother was sacrificed for the Li family, Xue Shao, the master selected for Li Longji, naturally has many differences in Li Dan's heart.
At this time, Shen Sanwen didn't know what was going on, and Li Longji's mother was also alive. Just be an introducer, the person has been escorted, get up and say goodbye.
Li Longji rarely refused to go out, so Wu Dan took Xue Shao into the door.
Wu Dan: "Longji has always been courteous, and he was just wronged outside today, so don't mind Xue Gongzi." ”
Xue Shao hurriedly said that he didn't mind, "It's Xue Shao's honor to be the teacher's teacher, the son is still young, and it's the first time I've seen Xue, so it's natural that I'm not close enough." Naturally, you have to teach slowly, not in a hurry. ”
Because Shen Xiaowen went to the Wang family's house, the matter of choosing a teacher happened to be postponed, these days, the king's chickens and dogs jumped, Xiaowen climbed the rockery every day to play in the pond, caught goldfish and broke lotuses, and followed by ten tails. Wang Bin couldn't bear it anymore, and after receiving a lot of reproaches from his elders, he realized how much trouble he had caused and brought back the amazing characters in the capital. But the little overlord is powerful in the palace, and he doesn't want to go home at all, and the people in the palace can't force him away.
On the other hand, Xue Shao patiently got closer to Li Longji, and he also got a lot closer to Li Longji.
Knowing that Xue Shao came to Beijing, Wang Bin made an appointment with his old friend Cui Xuan, and asked Shen San to ask about it, planning to hold a party of old friends, of course, the most important thing is to take advantage of the party to send away Xiaobawang.
Knowing that there were two more uncles, Xiaobawang happily went to the banquet.
Xue Shao took Li Longji, Wang Bin took Xiaobawang, Shen Sanwen took money, Cui Xuan took a folding fan, and several people gathered together in the restaurant.
At the banquet, he naturally talked about Li Longji, with his indifferent and precocious face, at a lively party, like summer snow, he is also the protagonist that cannot be ignored.
Cui Xuan asked, "What's wrong with Gongzi Li?" ”
Xue Shao introduced lightly: "There was a dispute with Wu Yizong, the little prince said that the court's surname was Li, and he had nothing to do with him, and he was humiliated by not letting him reprimand the guards. ”
All of you here are smart people, so you naturally know what it means, and being able to know it so at a young age naturally has nothing to do with his knowledge, and there must be an adult's meaning in it. Whether it is the meaning of Wu Dan or the meaning of the subordinates, Xiao Gongzi's words have pushed Wu Dan to the opposite side of the Wu family.
Shen San asked and glanced at him, "Longji, what is Your Majesty's surname?" ”
Li Longji said glutinously, "The surname is Wu, but this is still the Li family's country, it was before and will be in the future." ”
Shen Sanwen looked at his eyes seriously, "Now this Jiangshan surnamed Wu was obtained by His Majesty by his ability." This Jiangshan used to be surnamed Li, which was the ability of the ancestors and fathers of the Li family, and it was their glory. As a descendant of the Li family, you can't rely on the skills of your predecessors and look down on anyone. The Li family can now become a high-ranking royal family, relying on the support of thousands of people in the world, they may not be noble or smart, but they are the cornerstone of the country. Wu Yizong, as an official of the imperial court, as a guard general, can naturally manage his subordinates. His virtues are judged by his colleagues and history books, and now that you are still young, you don't need to get involved in the disputes of these adults, be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't cause trouble for yourself and your father. In the future, you will be able to rely on your own ability to protect the glory of your ancestors, and then talk about today's words, you know? ”
After this long paragraph, Li Longji couldn't understand it for a while, scratched his head, and nodded.
Seeing this, Xue Shao was very pleased, "Brother Shen's words are reasonable. ”
Cui Xuan also responded, "Little boy, Brother Shen means that no one is destined to be noble by birth, people have to rely on themselves in order to live well, and only those who have worked hard are their own." You know? ”
Li Longji nodded, it was still short and reasonable for this uncle to understand.
Wang Bin was speechless, "You teach other people's sons the Tao, can you teach your own son?" ”
Shen Sanwen beckoned, Xiao Wen put down the prawn in his hand and ran into Shen Sanwen's arms.
Shen San asked: "Xiao Q, are you well-behaved in Uncle Wang's mansion?" ”
Xiao Wen glanced at Wang Bin with a humble expression, "Well, I'm good, Uncle Wang, isn't it?" ”
Wang Bin: "..."
Cui Xuan was also speechless for a while, good your sister, good girl.
Xue Shao also set his eyes on Shen Xiaowen, "I heard that Xiaowen will be a general in the future?" ”
Shen Xiaowen nodded like pounding garlic, "Well, there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid that there are people who have a heart, and it will definitely be okay to ask Xiaowen." ”
Xue Shao: "You are the master of the person Xiao Wen chose?" Scholar or Martial Artist? ”
Shen San asked: "I haven't chosen it yet, it just so happens that you are here, why don't you teach it together." ”
Wang Bin: "Your father is very unreliable. The two of them have incompatible personalities and are not suitable for teaching together. ”
Shen San asked and thought, I really didn't mean that.
Cui Xuan: "In this Luoyang City, it is rare to find a literary teacher who dares to teach Shen Xiaogongzi." ”
Wang Bin: "That's good. ”
Shen San asked, "You... ”
Xue Shao raised his hand, "It's not as good."
Cui Xuan and Wang Bin hurriedly shook his hand down, for fear that he would be such a good person, but he would not be able to harm the honest man.
To be honest, Shen Sanwen didn't think about finding him a teacher now, it's not good to teach him badly.
The enlightenment reading materials of the Tang Dynasty were thousand-character texts and hundred-family names, and then continued to memorize and read, read and read, although it was true that there were many more content than modern education and broadened the scope of knowledge, but the ideas in the book still had many old and decadent places in Shen Sanwen's view, and they were not recognized by Shen Sanwen. Now that his son has been born, Shen Sanwen wants to teach him personally, so as to compile a set of teaching materials that can conform to the thoughts of modern people and combine them with the national conditions of the Tang Dynasty. When he grows up, he will be sent to the barracks and handed over to Zhang Yang.
The eldest of these four people is not small, and they actually remembered the hero killing and werewolf killing they had played, and several people played directly at the wine table, so they should look back on the time. Obviously, they are still very young, but they have experienced a lot of things, and they have grown up in their own ways, and even their moods have matured a lot.
A group of young people, reminiscing about the past.
When it was about to end, Shen Sanwen raised his glass, "I didn't expect that the four of us would be able to reunite in Luoyang one day, I hope that no matter what the circumstances are in the future, we can not forget our original intention and brotherhood." ”
Wang Bin raised his glass and thought about it, "Everyone has their own way to go, and Wang Bin is deeply honored to be able to walk the same road with the three of them. ”
Cui Xuan also raised his glass and applauded, "I wish the three brothers a bright future and a healthy life." ”
Xue Shao just raised his glass, but there were tears in his eyes, only he experienced the most pain of these four people, only he really felt the brotherhood when he was poor and poor, so he choked up, "Xue Shao will never forget the kindness of your brothers, when Xue Shao was in prison, in the place of exile, he was fortunate to be taken care of by your brothers, and he will repay this kindness in the future." ”
A happy gathering came to an end, and Shen Sanwen took his son home. Sending off the plague god, Wang Bin felt that he should celebrate two more times.
Within a few days, it happened that Junchen came to investigate Fan Yunxian, and Wu Yizong framed the second concubine of Wudan. Fan Yunxian was directly killed, the second concubine of the Wu family was found out on the same day, and was soon taken away and executed, the time was pressing, and the princess was really powerless. Li Longji cried in the mansion, but Wu Dan didn't dare to do anything.
Li Longji asked Master, "Will my mother come back?" Isn't my father the son of Your Majesty, and my father will go and ask for it, and then he can take his mother back. ”
Xue Shao touched his head and comforted, "Longji don't blame your father, he can't help himself." There are many things that you will understand when you grow up. ”
Wu Zetian then summoned Li Longji into the palace to inquire about the dispute with Wu Yizong, and the child's words were still very credible.
Li Longji admitted frankly, and said a lot, "Longji is wrong, Your Majesty don't blame your father." My father often taught me that the Li family has today, and it is the result of being kind to the people of the world and being treated well by the people of the world. ”
This answer was quite decent, Wu Zetian not only didn't blame him, but also praised him for his backbone, and gave him the title of virtual title, King of Linzi.
Although it is said that it is a prince surnamed Li who has not been sealed, but there has been no prince surnamed Li in the world for a long time, and being praised by His Majesty like this can be regarded as giving the Li family a long face, and Wudan's face is very bright.
The changes in the harem are like mirrors for those who know, such as Shangguan Wan'er and Zhang Changzong.
Zhang Changzong entered the palace, but he didn't really want to be a plaything, but the decisiveness and ferocity of Lai Junchen, and the behavior of Emperor Wu to kill his mother and become the king also made him a little afraid. It's just that he is unwilling to let others down, and he has always been driven to try and improve.
People who can risk their lives to become rich and wealthy naturally have perseverance that is rare for ordinary people.
However, it is not simple to attract the attention of Emperor Wu, it is not enough to rely on courtesy, humility, and prudence, but it still needs an opportunity for Emperor Wu to successfully notice.
He decided to give it a go.
Life is a big gamble, and if you bet right, you may not be able to win back everything you lost.
The frequency, timing, and place of the meeting between Shangguan Wan'er and Wu Sansi, all kinds of eyebrows, laughter, and laughter, Zhang Changzong, who has been in love for a long time, naturally sees it in his eyes, if he can step on Shangguan Wan'er's position and alert His Majesty, it is unknown whether he can replace Shangguan Wan'er's position. Zhang Changzong knew Wu Sansi's purpose, Shangguan Wan'er had been drafting edicts for Emperor Wu for a long time, and with the help of Shangguan Wan'er's hands, he could control many internal affairs of the court.
Shangguan Wan'er handled affairs on behalf of Emperor Wu, always putting the interests of Emperor Wu first, and thirdly, installing her own forces, safeguarding those literati who could be used for her own purposes, and thirdly, safeguarding the interests of Wu Sansi. And there are some interests that Emperor Wu disdains to manage, she disdains to fight for them, but Wu Sansi is willing.
For example, the position of the county order of Fangzhou.
The current Fangzhou county order is not good for Li Xian, and he doesn't dare to be good to Li Xian, there is an order from the emperor, and if he exceeds the rules, he will have to move his head in this county order, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at him. The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Li Xian's wife had a bad temper, so he was naturally afraid of being hated.
finally survived until the end of his term of office, and he could be promoted and transferred, and he could finally roll up and leave.
This position can be big or small, Emperor Wu didn't ask, Shangguan Wan'er can operate it. Wu Sansi mentioned it a few times, hoping to make friends with King Luling, since this was a useful opportunity, Shangguan Wan'er did not plan to miss it.
So she agreed that Wu Sansi's cronies would serve as the county magistrate.
