- Zhou Xing quickly reported Di Renjie's words to Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian was very unhappy after hearing this. What else do you want to do? I asked you to do it. Do you still want to have the real power like Pei Yan?
It also reminded her of the embarrassment caused to her by Di Renjie overstepping his authority to try the Xu Jingzong case, and the investigation into the Chongyan case with Zhu Jingze, which led to her husband's resignation. If she hadn't lost this righteousness, why would she have been so passive? Even though her eldest son's life and death were unknown, she was still on pins and needles in Luoyang with this great responsibility. [bsp; The anger flashed from his eyes and disappeared immediately.
She has a way to deal with Di Renjie. When he worked for his son, he left a big hole. As long as the hole was dug, Qiu Renjie would die without a burial place. But he can't move for the time being. Di Renjie himself is not scary. What is scary is that behind him, there are Qinghai generals, Liu Rengui.
This is what she fears the most.
In just the blink of an eye, Wu Zetian clarified the stakes and said: "Renjie is loyal, and the Ai family is very grateful."
¡°Am I wrong to file this complaint? Zhou Xing was very puzzled after hearing this.
"It will be difficult to act on your own without understanding the Queen Mother's intentions.
This guy still wants to use his ability to figure out Wu Zetian's intentions.
Wu Zetian also knew his abilities and said comfortingly: "Your loyalty is also appreciated by the Ai family."
He changed his voice and said, "Go and show the Xu Jingye case file to the Ai family."
"Here." Zhou Xing retreated: After a while, he brought a thick stack of files. Li Shoucheng took it and handed it behind the curtain. Wu Zetian looked through them one by one. Finally understood why Qiu Renjie was angry.
"We have to admit that Zhou Xing is very capable as a jailer. In just a few days, he actually used some unconventional means to torture so many soldiers, people, and low-level officials in Luoyang who were dissatisfied with her.
Some of them said a lot of extreme things and misled people everywhere. If it is not dealt with, Luoyang and the country will be in turmoil, and the consequences will be unimaginable. But there were many people who were flattered by Zhou Xing and forced to get involved because they were loyal to their eldest son. Except for a few of these people, most of them just watch silently, or dare to be angry but dare not speak out. He was also sentenced by Zhou Xing as a traitor to the party.
But Wu Zetian paid attention to something else. Many people were arrested and many were killed. But apart from those who complained and those who were loyal to their son, there were no henchmen of Pei Yan and Cheng Wuting. But Wu Zetian did not blame them. The power of Pei Yan and Cheng Wuting was not something that the little jailer in front of her could blame.
Putting down the file, he said calmly: "Let's end the Xu Jingye case."
"Did I do something wrong?" Zhou Xing asked carefully.
"You did nothing wrong. The Aijia didn't want to hurt more people and gave them a chance to change their ways."
"Only half of Wu Zetian's words are true. I admire Zhou Xing very much. If you want to guard this family, you need a very ferocious watchdog. Zhou Xing is the best candidate for this watchdog.
"But Wu Zetian calmly realized that the steps he had taken were a little too big some time ago. At this time, it is necessary to close up and stabilize the situation. Besides, Zhou Xing had already killed many people to shock some people enough, so there was no need to kill anymore. Lest things turn to extremes:
At this time, too many people cannot kill their sons. In order to avoid getting into more trouble and prevent my son from still living in the world. Although this possibility is increasingly remote. It wasn't last year or this spring. At that time, I had my husband's edict and didn't do anything. Even if my son returned to the Eastern Capital smoothly, he couldn't do anything to me. But since the second half of the year, I have taken a few big steps to speed up my control of power. Once my son gets into trouble, it will be very disadvantageous for me.
Including keeping Di Renjie, all to leave a way out.
If her son dies, her main enemies will not be her son's henchmen, but Pei Yan and Cheng Wuting: one has huge reputation and appeal among the ministers, and the other controls the Yulin Army. This is what will make her most uneasy in the future. .
Di Renjie accidentally said something, and many people died.
This is something Qiu Renjie didn't expect.
The situation in Dongdu is gradually stabilizing. At this time, a group of guests came.
An envoy from Tibet came to discuss peace:
After Wu Zetian heard this, he didn¡¯t even think about it and said, ¡°They have made my son¡¯s life and death unknown, yet they still have the guts to come to negotiate for peace. Tell them, if you want to fight, then fight. If you want to negotiate for peace, you must not do it.¡±
This time, he almost got the support of all the ministers of the dynasty.
Having given them a chance, they were almost ready to get married, but what did the Tubo people do in the end? This is a group of wolves that can never be fed enough, and they are more hateful than the Turks.
Especially for the Li and Tang regimesThe minister who still cherished his old feelings even gritted his teeth towards the Tubo people:
The messenger was driven back in despair. When they arrived in Qinghai, Li Wei listened to the news and said to Hei Te Changzhi: "My mother's intentions are not pure."
Hei Te Changzhi just smiled. Everything he did was aimed at the Queen Mother, but he was a minister and did not dare to say it openly.
Li Wei then said, "Send someone to invite them over."
Mother¡¯s intention was nothing more than to anger the Tibetans and make them attack again, so that both Qinghai and the soldiers of the Western Regions would suffer losses. The same is true for the mother's character. She may like talents, but this talent is just like the horses she used to train. She will only cherish it if it is used by her. If he is not used by her, she would rather kill him with a dagger than let him be unruly and disobedient.
¡°Perhaps my mother knows that the country needs generals, but these generals are not loyal to her, and she will not cherish them.
Li Wei¡¯s ideas are also a bit extreme. Wu Zetian did this not only for this reason, but also to make a statement. In addition, she did not like to adopt a policy of compromise towards foreigners. Therefore, history has been full of defeats and battles, and it was not until later in life that the country was in embarrassment, and then it compromised with Mochu.
The envoy from Tubo brought in
Li Wei was dressed in civilian clothes and didn't think about it.
Asking him to sit down, Li Wei said: "I heard that your Tibetans want to negotiate peace with our Tang Dynasty?"
"Me?" The tea cup in the hand of the Tubo envoy fell to the ground with a crisp crack, and he was frightened.
"What are you thinking? Do you really think that my men are defeated and your Tubo talk can make my life or death unclear?"
That¡¯s not necessarily true. It seems that every time you fight, you suffer more. But I dare not say it, and I also know the rogue style of the Tang Dynasty emperor, who will kill you steadily. Who told someone¡¯s country to be strong? But in the blink of an eye, another question came to mind: Is this emperor pretending to be alive or dead? As soon as I thought about it, I realized that it was his conspiracy. It turned out that the water in the Tang Dynasty was muddier than that in Tubo.
After regaining consciousness, he did not dare to sit down carelessly, so he leaned on the ground and said: "This war was forced by the Gar brothers. There is a lot of opposition in Tubo. If you don't believe it, please send someone to our Tubo to ask." "
??This means that he is not a member of the Lu family, but also a member of the Zanpu party. But Li Wei had no time to take care of him at the moment, and said slowly: "If you want to make peace, you Tubo General Lun Qinling has repeatedly provoked our Tang Dynasty, reneged on your promises, and handed him over to our Tang Dynasty. The Federation will immediately agree to the peace negotiation with you Tubo people."
Even if the Mo Lu family has no idea, this is also helping the Mo Lu family and further weakening the prestige of the Gar brothers:
He also wanted to meet him, otherwise Yu Qin Ling would have random thoughts. At this time, Li Wei did not want to have another battle with Yu Qin Ling. Even if Yu Qinling could see through his intentions and learn that he was still alive, he forced the troops to send troops, but he had to stop because of the strong domestic opposition.
Having said that, in order to prevent the news from being leaked, someone was sent to forcibly "protect" the Tibetan envoy and the guards to Bohai before returning.
There were guests from Tibet in the Tang Dynasty, and after New Year¡¯s Day, there was also a guest from the Turkic prairie.
Kong Zhengfang, who had not been seen for several months, suddenly appeared near the Turkic tent and asked to see the bones.
The success of Guduulu was partly due to luck. It happened to be during the chaotic regime change in the Tang Dynasty, and partly due to his own ability. Especially cherishing talents. Kong Zhengfang was originally unknown, but Wu Zetian, Tubo, and Turks all sent a large number of scouts to secretly sneak into Qinghai.
If you want to know whether the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is alive or dead, you can get first-hand information in Qinghai. This life and death will not only affect Wu Zetian's decision-making, but also the decisions of Tubo and Turks: Therefore, the scouts brought back the conflict between Kong Zhengfang and the Qinghai generals.
At first Gu Duolu didn¡¯t pay attention, he just asked lightly, who is Kong Zhengfang:
The scout then talked about his experience when he was sent to Luoyang as an envoy. Most of the North Gate scholars loved feathers, or for other reasons, so they didn't tell them that night. However, the outside world mistakenly believed that Kong Zhengfang single-handedly silenced all the North Gate scholars. Speechless. Therefore, Gu Duolu believed that Kong Zhengfang was an amazing talent. The facts are not bad. He is courageous, has backbone, has high moral integrity, and is also a talented official. Otherwise Li Wei would not have picked him.
Hearing that Kong Zhengfang came to surrender, he was overjoyed and welcomed him out of the tent. He pulled him to the tent hand in hand and asked, "Kong Jun, why did you come to seek refuge with me?"
Kong Zhengfang said with a sad expression: "I am loyal to Your Majesty, not to Hei Te Changzhi.
However, the Queen Mother was cruel and did not dare to defect. He had no choice but to defect to the Great Khan:"
No, there is something in this. Gu Duolu asked again: "Then why did you abandon your Majesty?"?
Kong Zhengfang wiped his tears, shook his head and said, "Khan, our Majesty will never come back."
But I was saying in my heart, Your Majesty, don¡¯t blame me for being rude. This is what you asked me to say.
When Guduulu heard this, he stood up, paced back and forth, and asked again: "I still don't understand:"
"Heiji Changzhi and Li Jinxing neglected their duties and agreed to risk their lives. They did not expect that the Qinling troops retreated quickly and the Nanshan Pass defense was not prepared, and they were attacked by the Tubo people. Then Li Jinxing and Heiji Changzhi quietly We have sent many scouts to infiltrate Tubo, and it has been more than a year, but we still haven¡¯t received any news from His Majesty. Do you think there is a chance that His Majesty will survive?¡±
"But I didn't hear that Tibet killed your Majesty."
"Great Khan, haven't you heard of His Majesty's temper? Even if he is in danger, will he reveal his identity and put the country in a state of crisis:"
Gu Duolu thought about what he had heard, and it seemed like this was the case.
"Then since something happened to your Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, aren't those generals afraid?"
"Why should they be afraid? There are a large number of soldiers in their hands, waiting for the Queen Mother to make a price."
¡°That¡¯s true,¡± Gu Duolu laughed dumbly.
Kong Zhengfang continued: "As long as the Great Khan promises me one thing, I will make a plan to ensure that the Turks can regain their former glory"
??Gudulu thinks he is a
A very capable person, he also dealt with people in the Tang Dynasty more, and knew that there were indeed many talents in the Tang Dynasty who were buried, such as Ashide Yuanzhen. So he asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."
"Please ask the Great Khan to raise his troops and restore the Tang Dynasty." Kong Zhengfang fell down.
Anti-military restoration of the Tang Dynasty? Gu Duolu smiled bitterly. He knew how much he had. It was okay to take advantage of the Tang Dynasty border, but was it impossible to attack Luoyang? If he could, he would have attacked already. How much wealth will be gained by conquering Luoyang?
However, he still helped Kong Zhengfang up and said, "Then what can you do?"
"As long as the Great Khan abandons his false reputation, sends a large army to attack Shuozhou, capture Ana Shi Daozhen alive, and make him his mastermind, great things can be accomplished."
Gu Duolu paced back and forth again. Ashina Daozhen was the son of Ashina Sheer. To be honest, even if his mother was a princess of the Tang Dynasty, she was far more upright than him. Just because Daozhen stayed in Shuozhou, Many tribes in Monan have never surrendered to themselves.
After walking for a while, he said: "I am not that stingy about my position, and I am not like your empress dowager in the Tang Dynasty, but Shuozhou is not that easy to attack."
"The Great Khan. At this time, the generals in Qinghai did not express their opinions. All the elite soldiers and generals of the Tang Dynasty were guarded at the passes in Guanzhong. The internal situation was unstable: although Ashina Daozhen was the son of She'er, his military talent was very low. Once the Great Khan If you send out troops, you will definitely be able to capture them. At that time, the strength of all the Turkic tribes will be combined. In addition, the Great Khan is an anti-military army to restore the Tang Dynasty. The people of Shandong will also give their full support. If the Great Khan can recreate the great achievements of the Turks, our Tang Dynasty can also be saved. ¡±
Gu Duolu would not really listen to him. He would restore the Tang Dynasty and fight against the Wu Dynasty. However, what Kong Zhengfang said made sense. At this time when the Tang Dynasty was in chaos, the emperor was really dead again. This was a great opportunity for him. shouted: "Chuangzhe Yugu and Yuanzhen
Come to see me¡±
PS: Please explain. Liu Rengui was worried that if Li Zhi died, there would be no resistance to Li Wei's entry into Beijing. Those barriers alone would not be able to stop him. There is no resistance to regaining power. Under absolute force, no conspiracy or trick will be effective. Besides, he is covered with righteousness. But Wu Zetian was not evil. Although she had her faults, she had made some contributions to the Tang Dynasty. She was still a biological mother and could not be forcibly imprisoned. Looking at Sima Guang's Zizhi Tongjian, such an anti-military person implicitly criticized Li Xian for confining Wu Zetian. How many people had Wu Zetian killed at that time? As long as there is no confinement, anything can happen in the palace. Li Wei is still in danger.
Pei Xingjian¡¯s strategy is to cultivate evil, tolerate first, let Wu Zetian seize power, and create some notoriety, only then can he seize power morally. Therefore, Li Wei went to the Western Regions to cultivate evil.
The Lu family's plan would have been even more vicious, asking Li Wei to pretend to be dead. This is easier. After she arrives in Qinghai, there will be many battles. In each battle, there are main forces, supporting forces, logistics, outflanking, and interception. There is always a troop in danger. Moreover, it is easy for people to believe that Li Wei lived and died with the soldiers in Qinghai. The vast scope of the campaign is enough to evade interrogation. When it comes to Qinghai, it can be said to be in the Western Regions, and when it comes to the Western Regions, it can be said to be in Lingxi, Khorasan, and even Sindh:
Wu Zetian will definitely take precautions at the beginning. But once Li Zhi died, the distribution of power was nothing more than in the hands of Wu Zetian and Pei Yan. If there is no means, Pei Yan's actual power is greater: Wu Zetian and Pei Yan's desire for power, time is short, they are afraid of Li Wei, and they are in harmony.If the situation lasts for a long time, competition will inevitably occur. Wu Zetian must have won, but there is a fisherman's story in everyone's heart, which is difficult to fill. You, me, him, everyone is like this, who can deny it? As time goes by, people will think that Li Wei is dead. Wu Zetian's desire for power will make her do further drastic things. Li Tang's power is still there, and the people are relatively supportive. If they don't accept it, there will be suppression. There is great evil. With the great evil, Li Wei can justifiably solve the palace, and the people will not think it is too much, and future generations will not think it has set a bad precedent.
It¡¯s not stated clearly in the book, but many people have doubts. Let me tell you by the way. As for whether Xu Jingye is plotting rebellion, please
