Early in the morning, Han Tongwen was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, instructing the little wolf and Qiao Song, Lin Yun hurriedly ran over, saying that Pei Fu came to invite him and Ji Ruopu to discuss important matters, and urged Han Tongwen to hurry over. www.biquge.info Han Tongwen didn't know what was so urgent, and when he arrived at Pei's Mansion, there were more than a dozen officials sitting in the hall of Pei's Mansion, and they all looked at the officials of the Qingya Academy.

After Han Tongwen entered the door, he saluted to all the heat, "Pei Gong urgently summoned me today, why did you come here?"

"Come, Tongwen Ruopu, sit down and say" Pei Yan warmly beckoned the two to take their seats.

Pei Yan received a letter from Li An and asked him to take care of it, and he called him here today because a major event happened in the palace today, and he needed to discuss and decide this matter with everyone.

"In the past two months, Shangguan Yi and Ying Guogong had a very fierce quarrel, and Mrs. Wei and Empress Wu also had some friction from time to time, which must be clear to everyone. But a few days ago, the queen summoned some strange people into the palace and I don't know why, until today it is said that in His Majesty's imperial study, the eunuch Wang Fusheng reported that the queen was tired of winning in the palace"

"The queen often helps Your Majesty to take care of the government, has a very good relationship with Your Majesty, and has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, although there have been some conflicts because of Mrs. Wei, but presumably Your Majesty will not blame the queen for Wang Fusheng's words" As soon as Pei Yan finished speaking, an official from Qingya Academy replied.

"This is natural, but this Wang Fusheng is just a small pebble thrown into the pool, and then there is an uproar" Pei Yandao "It is said that it is also involved in the matter of Mrs. Wei and Ying Guogong, Your Majesty was furious, and urgently summoned Shangguanyi into the palace, and agreed to abolish the queen"

"After the abolition?" the officials of Qingya Academy began to discuss.

Pei Yan nodded, "Empress Wu often participates in political affairs, this is something that all officials in the court know, Your Majesty's health is getting worse and worse, I heard that the eye disease is getting more and more serious, and recently even the chapter is being reviewed by eunuchs and Empress Wu, and all the decrees received by Menxia Province a few days ago are stamped with Fengxi, which is really arrogant."

"Shangguan Yi is the prime minister of the current dynasty, the left servant of Shangshu Province, and he is in a high position, after such a blatant statement, with him taking the lead, I am afraid that the faction of Zhaowen Academy has reached a consensus, but what are they doing this?" someone asked.

"When the queen was abolished, there were a large number of people in the court who were opposed, but after the Empress Wu came to the throne, all these people were swept out of the court, and the situation of wanting to abolish the queen again after many years is really puzzling."

"Shepherd Si Chen, the misfortune of the country, the excessive interference in the government and military forces is indeed a bit excessive, hindered by His Majesty's favor, and her own years of experience in politics, no one dares to say it, Shangguan Yi is already square, with this advice, it is not incomprehensible" Pei Yan has known Shangguan Yi for many years, so he naturally knows Shangguan Yi's temper.

"The officials of the Zhaowen Academy faction are the strongest in the court, occupying many important positions in the three provinces of Shangshu under the Zhongshu Sect, but the Empress Wu has controlled the government for many years, and there are no longer a few people who are attached to the queen, Xu Jingzong is the most ferocious dog, the two sides are fighting, and the posture of the official is not ready to be good."

"We may be able to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and take advantage of the opportunity" are the core of the first series of Qingya Academy, and naturally they are frank when they speak.

"It's good to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but if we want to pursue greater interests, we should seize the initiative, according to my opinion, it is more feasible for us to stand on the side of the abolished, as long as the Zhaowen Academy does not fall, the officials of the Zhaowen Department will not lose"

"I don't think so, I think it's better to protect the queen, we help like this, the Empress Wu will definitely appreciate it, she has been involved in court politics for many years, and it will be more convenient for her to repay Li Qingya Academy in the future."

The two positions of the abolition and the protection are disputed by the two sides.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to me, the prime minister of Shangguanyi for many years, since he will not be so capable, the martial queen is also wise, we have already seen it, let's watch it tomorrow, there will definitely be a battle in the court, tomorrow I will wait and see what happens."

Ji Ruopu didn't speak, and Pei Yan asked, "Ruopu, what do you think?"

"Master Pei, all the adults here, don't you think that there is someone who should not be ignored, but he is too calm?"

"Li Zhong, his performance is really incomprehensible to me," Pei Yan said

"There are many doubts about the death of Mrs. Wei and whether Ying Guogong was wronged, but if you reason retrogradely, many problems can be solved by making Li Zhong the driving force behind the scenes, such as who else can have so much energy in the palace except for the current crown prince of the emperor and empress, that is, the followers of the late queen Wang and the group of people left behind when Li Zhong was the crown prince. I heard my husband say that Li Zhong, who was smart and scheming when he was young, entered Chang'an after ten years, he definitely didn't just come to a head of state's day, if he had a goal, then what was his goal" Ji Ruopu asked.

"The crown prince's throne!, or the throne!" Han Tongwen said.

"Yes, but no matter what he is for, there is always a big mountain on his head, and that is Empress Wu! If Empress Wu is not abolished, then Li Hong is the eldest son, the prince who is expected by everyone, so Li Zhong's primary goal is to abolish Empress Wu, and the contradiction between Wu Yuanqing, Shangguan Yi and Mrs. Wei Empress Wu was not to this extent, I suspect that Li Zhong is the driving force behind the scenes!"

Ji Ruopu's words caused everyone to think deeply

"But he has never had any contact with the outside world, and he stays in King Liang's Mansion every day."

"It must be something we missed, Li Zhong must be able to contact the outside world and ask for help"

"My Pei family is a member of the Guanlong nobles, and a few days ago I received a letter that many Guanlong nobles in the six towns of Wuchuan are secretly gathering troops! One of the privileges of the nobles of Guanlong is that they can raise private soldiers, and the people of the six towns of Wuchuan are already brave and good at fighting, coupled with sophisticated equipment, their combat effectiveness must not be ignored."

"Gather troops, what do they want, rebel?"

"After the abolition of Wang Liwu, many Guanlong nobles were driven out of the center of the court, they wanted to force Empress Wu to step down, and re-establish Li Zhong as the crown prince, the court with the power of Shangguanyi, and the huge military power of the six towns of Wuchuan externally, both pronged, if Your Majesty does not want the Tang Dynasty to be in chaos, then you can only agree to make Li Zhong the prince, and then logically enter the court to govern again," Pei Yan said.

"Then we should hurry up and inform Your Majesty to prepare early, the main force of the Tang army is currently all on the border, and it can't be lightly adjusted, if they really have bad intentions, they can drive straight into Chang'an City in two days," someone said in a panic.

"Don't panic, I still have the Imperial Forest Army and the Northern Ya Forbidden Army in Chang'an, and they don't dare to rebel"

"The Guanlong nobles of the six towns of Wuchuan are currently gathering troops, I have already sent a letter to Mr. Li, Mr. asked me not to act rashly, and not to clash with Shangguanyi or Empress Wu in the court, if I guessed correctly, Mr. Li has gone to Wuchuan!"

A carriage galloped on the flat road, and an old man in a sixtieth century rode a horse to follow the carriage, this old man was actually Liu Keding, the dean of the Qingya Academy of Martial Arts, and the one sitting in the carriage was naturally Li An, the head of the Qingya Academy.

Li An was thinking in the carriage, although he was not in Chang'an, but he knew everything, he always felt that there was a pair of big hands behind the scenes controlling the situation in a terrible direction, Li An couldn't think of who it was, he thought of Ji Ling, Ji Ling had this mind, but he didn't have any motive to disrupt the political situation in the Tang Dynasty. Li An even thought that it was the part of the Guanlong nobles who were driven out of the court back then, and now they are united with Shangguanyi to regain power. Since receiving Pei Yan's letter to him, saying that they are secretly gathering troops Li An has realized that something is wrong, the six towns of Wuchuan are mixed with Hu and Han, civil and military, and they are hundreds of years of great nobles and strong, if there is really a change, it will be a danger for Datang, so he insisted on coming here regardless of his old age and frailty.

Yuwen, Yuanxin, and Dugu are the top families in the Guanlong aristocracy in addition to the royal Li family, and the Changsun family and the Wang family were also top nobles, but they failed in the struggle of the imperial court, and the patriarchs and several important members of the Changsun family and the Wang family were exiled, which declined. These big nobles intermarried with each other, the queen of Gaozu came from the Dugu family, the queen of Taizong came from the eldest grandson family, and the queen of Gaozong came from the Wang family, which is more like a political marriage between the Li family of the imperial family and the nobles of Guanlong.

Li An knew that the existence of the Guanlong nobles would affect the rule of the imperial family over the Tang Dynasty, but he could not deal with it with a heavy hand, otherwise it would easily cause unrest in the empire if it caused a backlash. Because there are many Chinese military generals of these aristocratic families, and at the same time they are deeply connected with the court, and they affect the whole body. It is better for any person to deal with the affairs of the Guanlong nobles than Li An himself, firstly, the imperial family Li belongs to the Guanlong nobles, and Li An is the person with the highest rank in the Li family, and his reputation is also very high, and even has a very high influence in the entire Wuchuan Six Towns, and he can obtain the right to dialogue with these families on an equal footing, and secondly, he is also the first king of the Tang Dynasty, and his words are weighty, and Li An has enough wisdom to judge the direction of the matter, Emperor Li Zhi does not dare to make a decision, he dares!
