Text Chapter 145: Determination (7)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although Luo Wuzheng was awarded Zhonglang General for his merit, he was a Khitan after all. He could barely read a few words. By chance, he came to Qinghai and was appreciated by Li Jinxing.  Vulgar style.

    The idea in my heart is simple.

    This old woman is so hateful that she actually forced the emperor to flee to the battlefield in the Western Regions to find a way to survive.  Since ancient times, has any emperor personally gone to the battlefield to seek safety?  If it wasn't enough, the emperor was forced to fake his death for nearly a year and a half.  Isn't it simply a strange story?

    "If you don't believe in evil, look at her methods and what she did. If the emperor had not avoided this year and a half, Dayi would not have been able to catch her, and if she had not dealt with it properly, she would have entered the palace in a daze.  In five years at most, he will die in a daze.

    In particular, Wu Zetian used Xu Jingye's rebellion case to ask Zhou Xing to investigate Luoyang and kill many people.  Among them were many soldiers who had returned from the Qinghai Campaign. Some were Luo Wuzheng's comrades, and some were his subordinates. Yes, most of them had come to Qinghai to work for meritorious services.  But how can there be no love for Pao Ze?

    He was not afraid that Wu Zetian would kill him.

    ???????????????? Just kill, the edict has been issued, why still kill?  The Queen Mother can kill herself, and the Emperor can kill members of the Wu family. It's not easy for you to kill the Seven Temples and Five Temples. There are so many deep palaces in Luoyang and Chang'an, can you go to a remote cold palace and retire peacefully?

    The overall idea is good, but a bit extreme.  It is even more inappropriate to call her an old woman. History records record that after more than ten years, Wu Zetian could be reborn like a young man who lost her teeth and was nearly seventy years old because she could apply makeup.  This is a woman with extraordinary talents.  At this time, regardless of her actual age, Wu Zetian was only less than forty years old based on her appearance, and she was still beautiful.

    "You" Wu Zetian was furious. Seeing his contemptuous look, she thought of her son's sinister, despicable, shameless, vicious, dark, unfilial, treacherous and cunning plan, and finally  I understand what my son is going to do.

    On the contrary, he did not dare to move. It would be easy to kill this Khitan man with a crime of disrespect, but there would be no room for turning around.  He found a step and said, "Do you know how many lives Di Renjie has taken care of? How can the country repay everyone like him?"

    "I have heard about it too. The rumors were very unfavorable to Your Majesty. The Emperor Taiqi personally issued an edict and asked Di Xianggong to review and investigate the case. Some people died, but they were just some rogue rangers. These people  He usually likes to violate disciplines, and he was involved in major Tianji cases. Afterwards, under the guidance of Di Xianggong, many people corrected their evil ways and returned to the right side. I didn't see anything wrong with Di Xianggong's move. If you want to kill him for this,  Kill, I dare to ask, how many innocent soldiers, officials and common people have died in the past year or so? So, do all the relevant people have to be killed one by one?"

    The implication is that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, including you, the Queen Mother, cannot escape their involvement and will all be executed!

    But it doesn¡¯t matter, Wu Zetian can endure a little anger. How much anger has she suffered in the past few decades since she entered the palace?  Wu Zetian had heard that Guan Jian's son planned to fight with her this time with a white knife and a red knife, otherwise this general would not be so bold.

    I don¡¯t want to explain the matter of Chongyan Spring Medicine.

    Then this guy has to ask, how did Di Renjie know what Ming Chongyan was doing with the aphrodisiac medicine?  Your Majesty has said many times that he is not a good person, why do you want to lure him to the palace again?

    Suppressing his anger, he asked: "Where has my son been for more than a year? Why did the Ai family send someone to order him to enter the capital, but no one could be found? Where did he issue the edict?"

    The first two questions are all nonsense, but Guan Jian is the latter question.  But asking them together would not attract Luo Wuzheng's attention.

    Luo Wuzheng had thought of his answer long ago and was not fooled. He said: "I have been fighting against the cannibals in the west of Lingxi. I don't know that I just returned to Qinghai recently. Your Majesty issued the edict in Shanzhou. At that time, he was  I plan with General Black Teeth to quell the violent rebellion in Gudulu, and I am preparing to return to the Western Turks to unite all the ministries and attack together."

    "When did you leave Qinghai?"

    "One month ago."

    Wu Zetian closed her eyes and thought for a while.  To put an end to Gu Duo Lu, she believed that Gu Duo Lu had been in chaos for a long time.  When it comes to matters involving the country and the family, my son will not be vague.  Moreover, the Qinghai generals also have this ability.  Fighting in the Western Regions in Lingxi and the Western Regions, no matter how great their achievements are, has nothing to do with the Central Plains.  Only by quelling Gu Duolu's rebellion can he be in contrast with the generals of the imperial court, and only then can he win the hearts of the people and return to the capital.

    A month ago, Luo Wuzheng received the edict and returned to the Western Regions. Even if the Western Regions had prepared a large army in advance, and then inserted it into the desert from the Western Regions, it seemed that it was still a fighting opportunity. Just as the Gudulu army arrived in Shuozhou, its old nest was empty.  Then I still have a few months to prepare, it's too late.

    "I'm afraid that what Luo Wuzheng said is a lie,And her intuition told her that the probability of telling lies was 90%.  Then the time left for you to fight back is very short.

    I really wanted Zhou Xing to torture Luo Wuzheng.

    I thought about my son's good intentions again, and my body couldn't help but tremble with anger. After all, I am still your mother. Without my hard work, how would you be the emperor today?

    After getting the news that her son was alive and even preparing the backup plan to rescue Di Renjie, Wu Zetian knew what Li Wei was planning.  It turned out that he had been plotting against him ever since he went to the Western Regions, and even before that, when he suddenly disappeared from the court.

    Create opportunities and time for yourself to expand your ambition to control political power, so that you can do some irrational things and suppress the righteousness and integrity of mother and son.  Deal with yourself.  Dare to think of who she was, Wu Zetian immediately recalled the contents of the first chapter of "Spring and Autumn".

    ¡°So ruthless and scheming, I even tolerated it for four or five years, five or six years.  And it's the best time in a man's life, just for the next few days!

    Behind the curtain, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

    Wenli said: "You can retreat."

    "Here." Luo Wuzheng was in good spirits and answered loudly. One word made him answer sonorously and powerfully, making him feel breathless.  After answering, he strode away.

    Li Shoucheng asked in confusion: "Luo Wuzheng is so rude, Queen Mother, why don't you punish him?"

    "Please let the Ai family be quiet for a while."

    "Here."

    Wu Zetian closed her eyes and thought deeply, and she thought of another terrible thing.  Originally, the eldest son did not return, and the people of all ethnic groups from Qinghai to the Western Regions and Lingxi were unstable, which instead became a constraint and instability factor for Qinghai soldiers.  But as soon as the eldest son returned, not only the soldiers from Qinghai to the Western Regions, but also the barbarians immediately surrendered. Moreover, he used a lot of efforts last year to win the hearts of the barbarians.  You can think about it, the Tang Dynasty's army alone may have reached hundreds of thousands, and with so many barbarians of various ethnic groups, it may have been one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, or three hundred thousand, which is also impossible.  It's just that the son didn't return. Once he returned, he was bound to win. There were so many troops coming in darkness.  Even if the entire army in the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty were mobilized by themselves, they might not be able to win the battle.

    I was too hasty, too hasty!

    We should wait for another year, wait for Eunuch Liu to confirm the news, and then support the third or fourth son to ascend the throne as emperor, and then take care of it.  In fact, there is no need to support him. As long as he delays it for a year and there is no movement, the eldest son will be forced to appear by him.  At that time, I had done nothing. What could the eldest son do to me?

    She didn¡¯t expect that there was a person who was no less intelligent than her secretly involved in it.

    Li Wei also asked about this hypothesis. If the mother does nothing, she can even make some fine-tuning. There happens to be a lot of money and silk in the treasury, which can be used to win people's hearts.  With this move of his own, he shot himself in the foot.

    Wu Lu asked back: "With your mother's nostalgia for Quanli, can you really endure it for so long? Even if your mother can endure it, will Pei Yan suffer? Your mother will watch helplessly as Pei Yan becomes a man who sticks to his word.  Prime Minister?"

    Li Wei had no words to respond.

    Wu Lu continued: "Everyone has shortcomings. Although your mother's wisdom is almost unparalleled, her obsession with power has become her biggest shortcoming. It is your father who is confused. If it were replaced by  Your grandfather, with your mother's power and ambition, would have been killed a thousand times or ten thousand times."

    Li Wei asked again: "So what are my shortcomings?"

    "I won't tell you," Mr. Meulu replied playfully.

    And since ancient times, no emperor has actually cheated his death, not in a month or two, but in a year and a half!  Liu Rengui was so immortal that he lived for so long, which constrained Wu Zetian from making too big a move.  Otherwise, once a new emperor is established, Li Wei will become more or less passive again.

    Feeling a headache, he said to Li Shoucheng: "Go and call all the prime ministers and Wu Sansi."

    After a while, Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi, Qian Weiwei, Wang Dezhen, Wei Fangzhi, Su Liangsi, Wei Baiji, and Pei Judao were brought in.  This is the current group of prime ministers. None of Li Zhishi's prime ministers exists, and they have all been demoted from the court.

    It is not without merit. For example, Su Liangsi was not very knowledgeable. When he was in Jingzhou, Xiaoyu, the brother of King Xuan of Liang and King of Hedong, funded the construction of a temple, so it was called Hedong Temple.  Su Liangsi came and asked, "How can Jiang and Han be called Hedong?" He complained and forcibly demolished the Hedong Temple.

    But the officials are very good and honest.  In the year before last, Li Zhi went to Mount Tai and sent eunuchs to Jianghan to purchase strange bamboos and trees, hoping to move them to the imperial garden.  The eunuchs abused their power, acted recklessly and oppressed the people.  When they ran through Jingzhou, Su Liangsi forcibly captured them.??, and then play Li Zhi.  Worrying about the people for the sake of bamboos and trees in the distance is not what people in the Holy Land do.  Li Zhi publicly admitted his mistake and ordered the bamboos to be thrown into the Yangtze River.  Then Su Liangsi was ordered to be the governor of Yong Dynasty, and he and Liu Rengui jointly managed the disaster and achieved considerable political achievements.

    There is also Wei Fangzhi, who is also relatively upright by nature.

    Of course, if all the prime ministers cannot be like Wu Chengsi or Qian Weiwei, then there will be no way to govern the country.

    Later, Wu Zetian also used people in the same way. Some talented people were used to govern the country.  Most of them are obedient and maintain their political rights.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? If the Bu Lu family hadn¡¯t come up with a relatively damaging plan this time, Li Wei would either have to bear the bad reputation and kill his mother directly, or sit back and wait for destruction.  Merely playing tricks in the court is ultimately a dead end.  What Liu Rengui said about Empress Dowager Feng was 100% inevitable.

    Wu Zetian did not expect that it was these two people who would become the protagonists of today's talks.

    Behind the bead curtain, looking at everyone's expressions, their expressions were cautious and their expressions were silent. They probably all knew what happened.

    In fact, for such a big event, not only a few prime ministers, but also officials from all departments in the imperial city, three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five supervisors, including the Secretariat, Palace and Internal Affairs Ministry, were involved.  All rumors.  At this moment, almost all the officials put down the official documents at hand and were discussing in various yamen in the imperial city.

    Without any more nonsense, I asked straight to the point: ¡°Dear ladies, what do you think of what happened today?¡±

    Su Liangsi cupped his hands and was the first to speak: "Queen Mother, it is the great fortune of the Tang Dynasty that Your Majesty can appear safely. Now that Your Majesty is back, the Queen Mother should revise various policies. Including pardoning Di Renjie, Zhu Jingze, and Li Yiyi, six  The family members who were exiled in Lingnan were urgently recalled, especially the two talented people from the East Palace, to avoid misunderstandings between mother and son. In addition, the Queen Mother issued an edict again, announcing to the world that she would return the power to Your Majesty, retire in the harem, and let the Queen Mother  The power of Tang Dynasty has been handed over smoothly. Then the world will be peaceful, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty will not have many misunderstandings, and they will enjoy their glorious years."

    Wei Fangzhi shook his head and said: "This alone is not enough. The Queen Mother has taken some drastic measures since she came to power. In my opinion, she will issue another edict to express her guilt to the people of the world."  Determination is the only way to ensure nothing goes wrong.¡±

    ¡°The two of them were speaking from their own hearts. If Wu Zetian did this, she was still her mother after all. What could Li Wei do?

    But the listener won¡¯t think so.

    Wu Chengsi was furious and said: "Xianggong Su, Xianggong Wei, how can you say such things? Who provoked you?"

    "It's true. Wu Zetian proposed it, and the two of them are grateful, but personal relationships are personal relationships, and the state is the state. If I am appointed prime minister, I will do my job well."  But when it comes to the future of our country, I have to speak out.

    Some time ago, I thought that the emperor had encountered misfortune and that the prime minister was a weakling and had done nothing. There was nothing he could do.  I had no choice but to stay in the government office, or stay in the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice, doing things, and disappear automatically at other times.  Out of sight, out of mind.  Your Majesty has appeared, so we have to fight for the sake of the country.

    Wei Fangzhi snorted coldly and said: "Mr. Wu, you have little talent and little knowledge. You only relied on your status as a relative to become prime minister by chance. Please stop interfering in such important affairs of the country."

    What the hell are they?

    As a member of the Jingzhao Wei family, I have long looked down on Zhu Wu¡¯s actions, especially Wu Chengsi, who was ignorant and incompetent.

    Su Liangsi rushed behind the curtain and said: "Empress Dowager, I am very confused. Do you want me to be the prime minister to do the prime minister's work? Or do you want me to ignore the country, family, society and flattery, and even have to obey the military command?"  Cheng Si's order. If that's the case, I might as well wait for the prime minister not to do it."
