    Zhe Yu Gu and Yuan Zhen

    ?Also considers it an opportunity.

    I also thought about Kong Zhengfang cheating, but all of them were rejected.  If the emperor of the Tang Dynasty were still alive, there would be no need for this.  Now the people of the Tang Dynasty are agitated. As long as he leads the Qinghai army eastward, he will be invincible. Why bother?  [bsp; The more procedures there are, the more flaws there will be. This is the truth.

    Besides, this emperor seems to be very good to the people. Once he invades the south, many people in the Tang Dynasty will suffer, which is not in line with the character of this emperor:

    But several people ignored two things. One was that Li Wei didn't want to make a bad start, especially a bad start in starting a civil war.  The second one is not wanting to leave an impression in people's minds of using war to defeat one's mother.

    Whenever the Turks send out troops and the court has no generals available, Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxun will inevitably be sent.  Then use a trick to capture the two alive outside the Great Wall, and then mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops from Qinghai and the Western Regions to form a force of oppression.  Even if there were troops stationed in the pass, they would not dare to block him.

    "Civil war is avoided. Without civil war, the people will not think that they are attacking their mother with war."

    A mother¡¯s righteousness made him rack his brains.

    ??Perhaps Wu Zetian has never considered this painstaking effort, let alone these three barbarians outside the Great Wall.  Even though the three of them are heroes among men, no matter how much they think about it, they would never think of this.  Well, if you don¡¯t come out, you can only believe it obediently.

    Another point that also misunderstood them was that if Li Wei was alive in the world, when Xu Jingye rebelled against the military and the whole country was shocked, it should have appeared at that time.  Why wait until today?

    Feeling that it was a good opportunity, he immediately recruited 200,000 elite soldiers, and set out for the pass in a mighty manner under the banner of restoring the Tang Dynasty and resisting military force.

    When Wu Zetian heard this, she was so angry that she almost burst into tears.  All these people, cats and dogs, can oppose me and restore the Tang Dynasty.  No matter how we rebel against the Tang Dynasty, we will not be able to defeat you Turkic thieves.

    "However, we also know that the Turks are coming this time fiercely and must win, otherwise they would not have dispatched 200,000 troops.  I am afraid that almost half of the Turks' strong men have been recruited into the army by these rebels: the garrison of about 100,000 people in several states and counties northeast of Hebei River alone cannot resist them.

    So I thought of Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qiancai.

    No other reason will be available.  Only these two people are better.  There is another purpose: to hold on to his power tightly, which makes Pei Yan very unhappy.  It was to his own advantage that he made Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxun the generals of the left and right Yulin Army.  In essence, they were not defending the safety of Luoyang for themselves, but defending the safety of Luoyang for Pei Yan.  Zhang Qianxun is slightly better, and Cheng Wuting is almost as good as wearing the same pants as Pei Yan.

    That time was then, and now is now. Times are different, and trends are also different.

    These two people are in charge of the Yulin Army, but today they feel like they are stuck in their throats.  If he takes the opportunity to transfer them away from Luoyang, he will feel more at ease.

    She was not worried about handing over hundreds of thousands of troops to these two people.

    So an edict was issued, sending 200,000 troops to conquer the Turks.  Li Xiaoyi was also appointed as the marshal of the Chanyu Dao march, Cheng Wuting was appointed as the commander of the Chanyu Dao march, Shi Li, and Zhang Qianxun was appointed as the marching commander.  That's it. Still feeling uneasy, he asked his close confidant Zhonglang Chunyu Chuping to take charge of the food and grass management.  To guard the grain and grass is equivalent to guarding the throat of an army of 200,000.

    The four of them followed the order and left, but Wu Zetian was still filled with anger and threw several large vases.

    The military situation was urgent and soldiers could not be recruited slowly. The four of them led tens of thousands of troops to leave Luoyang:

    February has also arrived.

    Internal and external worries had suppressed Wu Zetian for a long time, and finally she heard some good news.

    Liu Rengui died of illness in Chang'an.

    This was the most senior minister in the court, and he was also the minister who had always been firmly opposed to him. However, because of his seniority and reputation, Wu Zetian had to find ways to win over him.  Liu Rengui died of illness, which relieved Wu Zetian's biggest heartache.

    But I could only secretly rejoice in my heart. I issued an edict as a posthumous gift and spent three days in court for him. All Xijing officials went to express their condolences.

    ?????????? The second piece of good news came back from Eunuch Liu who went to Lingxi.  On this trip, Eunuch Liu brought dozens of Nates with him. In order to maintain contact and let Wu Zetian get the latest information, he wrote a memorial about the situation everywhere he went and sent several Nates back to inform Wu Zetian.

    This memorial was written down in Tehran, and then the chamberlain was asked to rush back to Luoyang without stopping.  After rushing all the way, it took only four months to miraculously reach Luoyang.  It is written above that I did not see the emperor at Wang Fangyi's place in Tehran. Wang Fangyi asked me to go to Qi Xinming's place, but I could see that it was all a refusal.  Along the way, I kept asking people, including the Prince of Persia, Ni Nishi, but no one had seen any trace of the emperor.

    The implication is that Li Wei sufferedTested.  But as a eunuch, I dare not write it out: besides, there is still the last stop, which is not yet finished:

    Wu Zetian had long forgotten about her son's safety, so she called all the ministers over and talked about it for a while.

    Then he said: "The generals in the Western Region of Qinghai were so bold that they put my son in danger and concealed it from the court: My son will probably never come back, but the country cannot be without an owner. More than a year has passed, look at the chaos this country has become  What does it look like? The Ai family is waiting hard for my son to come back, but what do the outside world think? They actually think that the Ai family has taken power. The only solution now is to establish the crown prince as the new king of the country early and put the country on a right path: Dear friends,  Sir, what do you think?"

    Because Li Wei was still outside, unlike supporting a crown prince just in case, even Wu Zetian had to call all the ministers together to discuss it.

    As soon as Wu Zetian finished speaking, Di Renjie said: "The Queen Mother cannot. Without accurate information, we cannot establish a new monarch. He is not the crown prince. The emperor is related to the fate of the country. If your majesty returns, the country will have two monarchs to get along with each other.  There is no day of peace.¡±

    The Queen Mother¡¯s move was cruel.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????For?the weak guy like Xiang Wang to be the emperor, doesn't?it mean that she is becoming the emperor?  Moreover, once the emperor returned and a new king was established, the late emperor's edict gave the queen mother the power to make military and state decisions, and the emperor lost his biggest chess piece.  The situation must be as passive as possible.

    "Di Qing, what do you mean? Have you seen the injustice the Ai family has suffered this year just to wait for my son to come back?"

    "If that's the case, how can you, the old man, solve the problem of garrisoning troops at various checkpoints in Guanzhong?"

    But even if you have the guts to do it, you can¡¯t win.  Wu Zetian can say that it was to protect the safety of the Supreme Emperor. After the death of the late emperor, the soldiers at the checkpoint could be withdrawn.  However, the whereabouts of the emperor are unknown, and many troops are stationed in Qinghai. Can I withdraw the soldiers?

    Not having the guts to argue, Di Renjie had no choice but to say: "Empress Dowager, Chamberlain Liu has gone to Lingxi anyway, and there is only at least four months left at the last stop. The news will be fed back, so why rush for these three or four months?  "

    "That's what she said, but Wu Zetian's intuition told her that she was very uneasy. Even if she didn't look at these three or four months, the clouds might turn into raindrops and the sea would turn into mulberry fields.  So he asked Pei Yan: "Pei Qing, what do you think?"

    Pei Yan snorted in his heart, he needs my time, but he is aggressive when he doesn't need me.  Thinking that I was stupid, I pretended to be stupid and said, "I am reporting this to the Queen Mother. I also think that Qiu Xiang Gong's words are reasonable."

    Pei Yan has already spoken, and if the emperor is still alive, the consequences will be disastrous if he and the others hurriedly establish a new emperor.  Some of the prime ministers agreed, while others remained silent. Only Wu Chengsi jumped up and down.  But if it wasn't for Wu Zetian's sake, would he treat him as the same thing?

    In fact, it¡¯s not that disapproval of Wu Zetian has too much to do with it, even those who want to flatter Wu Zetian dare not say a word.

    The ministers disagreed, so Wu Zetian had to give up, but she was very disappointed with the prime ministers: she called Pei Yan in the next day and said: "Pei Qing, no one was left to guard Liu Ren in Xijing's rail track. The Ai family was very worried, so they entrusted it to  is you."

    Wu Zetian was very relieved to entrust Pei Yan to her.

    Chang'an was Li Tang's hometown and Liu Rengui was a loyal royalist. He won the hearts of the generals, officers and nobles in Guanzhong.  It is also very close to Qinghai, so Wu Zetian has always been very afraid.  As for Pei Yan, he went to Chang'an to truly retire.

    Pei Yan's eyes were blank, his mind was dizzy, and he almost fell to the ground.  I thought to myself, is this what I have earned through all my hard work?  However, Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxun led their troops to the outside of the Great Wall, leaving them empty-handed.  He had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "I obey your decree."

    Pei Yan¡¯s power was finally taken away.  However, considering that his son's life and death were unknown, Pei Yan was not put to death.

    After dealing with Pei Yan, he demoted Guo Daiju to the position of governor of Anzhou.  This is Pei Yan's best friend and must be dealt with.  Li Jingmou, who agreed, was dismissed as Si Bin Shaoqing. Shen Junliang and Cui Jie also dismissed the prime minister because they did not express support, but retained their original positions.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT?  He also named Su Liangsi, the special minister of the Winter Palace, as the third rank of Tongzhongshu:

    Zhu Jingze found Di Renjie and complained privately: "I have never seen the country so turbulent."

    "Zhu Shaoqing, if you don't transfer so frequently, how can the power of the prime minister be transferred to the Queen Mother?"

    "Then why did she treat you"

    Di Renjie said nothing.

    ??It would be a blessing to be demoted from the court, but the Queen Mother would not let her wish.  It turned out that there was Liu Rengui and the Qinghai generals, but His Majesty kept the news tightly. Neither the ladies in the East Palace nor himself knew about it, let alone the Qinghai generals.  It took a long time, maybeThe soldiers were shaken, and Hei Te Changzhi suppressed the dissatisfaction several times.  This is not a big problem, the emperor will control it.  But the Queen Mother didn¡¯t know. After hearing this,

    News, you will think that Qinghai's harm is getting smaller and smaller, and Liu Rengui is dead again.  He didn't listen to her and tried to do something to her despite her wishes several times.

    Haven¡¯t taken action yet.  Two more prime ministers were mentioned, one was Wei Baiji. This guy made the people in Qinghai compare him to a woman. Because he was loyal to Wu Zetian, he was promoted repeatedly, and Wu Zetian promoted him to the third rank of Tiangong Telang Tongzhongshu.  Another person unexpectedly promoted Pei Judao to the third rank of Qiuguan Telangtong Zhongshu.

    But Di Renjie understood Wu Zetian's intentions.  You want to do something to yourself, but you are afraid of what the people will say.  So Pei Judao was promoted. He was the queen's father and a true royalist minister.  The Ai family wanted to kill Di Renjie, not because they disliked the emperor's cronies, but because of the facts.  Block everyone's mouths.  But what about the reality?  Although Pei Judao was the head of the state, he did not pose a threat to Wu Zetian because of his limited talents.

    A few days later, something big happened again.

    Zhou Xing wrote a letter to impeach Di Renjie when he was Dali Yong. He repeatedly instigated the street knights to take care of people's lives.

    " Half of it is true. When Qiu Renjie took advantage of Li Zhi's edict to find out where the rumors came from, he arranged it for Li Wei.  He took the opportunity to recruit many street knights, and in order to integrate them, he solved several murder cases. However, these people said that the knights respected him, but in fact they were all gangsters and scoundrels.  And no one takes them seriously.

    And after this integration, another batch of money was given to them to make a living. These people also thought that they were emperors and began to change their evil ways to do good things. Instead, they did a good thing.

    Speaking of which, Zhou Xing was also involved.  I didn't expect him to take this matter out and beat it up.

    According to the book, Wu Zetian attached great importance to major human life cases, and immediately issued an edict to have Wu Chengsi, Zhai Weiwei and Zhou Xingtang jointly review the case.

    Di Renjie spent his whole life interrogating prisoners, but in the end he became a prisoner.

    Wu Chengsi asked the yamen to bring Qiu Renjie up. He was very proud. He did not expect that this thorn in his side would actually fall to this level. He was stunned and said: "You dare to commit a crime and don't kneel down before me:"

    "Mr. Wu, can you bear it?"

    Zhou Xing wanted to interrupt, but Wu Chengsi stopped him with a wave of his hand. He took his time and asked again, "Zhou Telang accused you of ordering someone to kill someone. Is it true?"

    What do you think of your answer?  Even if you use that group of people as a shield, do you know about this?  Now that we know, as a Dali Temple inheritor, knowing the law and breaking the law, what crime should we face?

    When I came to the court, I had everything ready.

    Who would have known that Di Renjie didn't answer at all, saying, "Kill if you want, why bother with the wordiness."

    Zhou Xing shouted: "Here comes someone."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of his treasures, even if you are made of steel and iron, I have the ability to make you confess.

    Wu Chengsi waved his hand again and said: "Zhou Telang, you can't do this. Di Renjie is also the prime minister of the country and his former chief staff. As long as he is willing to confess, we can spare him the pain of prison.

    "Here."

    "Di Renjie, admit it, I will plead for you in front of the Queen Mother."

    Qiu Renjie sneered: "What will happen if Di doesn't do it? Will these tortures be inflicted on Di? Don't forget, your majesty may not have no chance of survival. If he comes back and hears that you used torture to punish Di, let him  Di was unjustly beaten and Qiu was killed. I wonder if His Majesty will inflict these tortures on you tenfold?"
