(Thanks to Leng Yu Xi Chun Qiu and bl052 book friends for their monthly tickets) Zheng Wanpin¡¯s inquiry was too "unprecedented" and made Chen Yi unable to react at once. He could not have imagined that when Shangguan Wan'er was only eleven years old, Zheng Wanpin, as a mother, was already thinking about this matter. It seemed a little too long-term, at least in Chen Yi's opinion. At the age of eleven, he always thought that this was the age when he was in "elementary school". He was still a little kid, and it was still too early to get married! How to really arrange life for Shangguan Wan'er, and who to marry her as a wife? These questions are clear. Yi had never thought about it, or he hadn't thought about it from Zheng Wanpin's perspective. He didn't know how to answer the woman's inquiry in his arms, so he could only deal with it vaguely, saying that Shangguan Wan'er was still young now. , it¡¯s not time for haircuts yet, Zheng Wanpin¡¯s concerns will be discussed later when Shangguan Wan¡¯er grows a few years older. Maybe the glory of the Shangguan family will be restored by then, and then Shangguan Wan'er can start her future life with a very distinguished status. Zheng Wanpin was a little disappointed not getting the answer she wanted from Chen Yi. However, as Chen Yi had said many times, she still yearned to help restore the glory of the Shangguan family. She did not dwell on this matter anymore. After Chen Yi gently touched and kissed her, she fell asleep soundly. Chen Yi, who felt very sleepy, quickly fell asleep without even a dream. ?¡ ?The New Year is coming soon. Wu Zetian originally wanted to celebrate the New Year in Luoyang, but she was ill and did not go there. However, she still rewarded Helan Minzhi, who presided over the construction of Luoyang Palace. He was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Industry by an edict two years ago, except for the "inspection". The word "school". However, Wu Zetian did not take action on He Lan Minzhi's suggestion of making the ancestor of the Wu family a prince. But Chen Yi knew that this was just because Wu Zetian was afraid of opposition from the ministers and had not taken any action for the time being. But she was determined. In the past few months, He Lanminzhi often visited the palace and suggested to Wu Zetian to further take over the government and proposed many countermeasures. He Lan Minzhi acted aggressively and showed off everything. It can be said that the limelight completely overshadowed Chen Yi, who had been favored by Wu Zetian for many years. He also showed a strong performance in the court, which was very eye-catching, but he also offended some people. People have been criticized by many people. Chen Yi had kindly advised him at the beginning. He also expressed his worries through Wu Shun and Helan Minyue, but Helan Minzhi didn't care about it. He relied on his favor with Wu Zetian and the honor of being the only heir of the Wu family to act further arrogantly. There are even accusations against the behavior of some prime ministers in the Political Hall. Chen Yi also inquired about some information from Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian had plans to push He Lan Minzhi into the political affairs hall. But Helan Minzhi was too strong during this time. It also offended some people, which made Wu Zetian feel uneasy and wanted to keep hammering him, thus delaying his plan to build momentum for He Lan Minzhi and let him enter the political hall. Of course, Helan Minzhi heard similar words from Wu Zetian and knew that he might enter the Political Affairs Hall. But he didn't see Wu Zetian taking any action, so he felt a little anxious, but he also knew that he was a little eager for quick success and quick success during this period, after the New Year. He has restrained his behavior a bit and will not often jump out to accuse a minister at court meetings. He Lanmin was still young after all, and his arrogant temper was hidden for a while, but could not be hidden forever. Just after the year, Gao Zhizhou, a prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall, proposed to become an official due to physical reasons. After getting Wu Zetian's approval, he revealed it again His true nature was clearly demonstrated in the court, and he also received Wu Zetian's clear promise that he would be promoted to the political hall. This made Helan Minzhi even more proud and a bit arrogant, but Helan Minzhi also received Wu Zetian's explicit instructions to take action in the court and deal with a certain person. This time the person Wu Zetian wanted to beat was not Chen Yi, but Li Xian. It has been several years since Li Xian was established as the prince, but he has never had the opportunity to supervise the country's directors, which makes many ministers anxious. Wu Zetian has not been to Luoyang in these years, nor has she gone out to escape the summer heat. However, when the cold winter comes, she will go to Huaqing Palace to soak in the hot springs. When Wu Zetian went to Huaqing Palace to soak in the hot springs, some ministers proposed that Li Xian be the supervisor of the country. The reason was naturally that the empress who let the emperor take charge of court affairs should give the prince the opportunity to supervise the country. Before the emperor fell asleep, he gave many opportunities to the prince Li Hong to supervise the country. Li Hong has been supervising the country since he was nine years old. He has been a regular superintendent of the country for five or six years and has gained considerable experience in how to handle court affairs. Many courtiers believe that the current prince should also give him such an opportunity. And Li Xian himself also expressed this meaning this time, saying that after being the prince for many years, he has never helped his father and mother to deal with political affairs. This is really not what an adult prince should do. Seeing his mother and queen working so hard, every time When I went to greet her, I saw her reviewing memorials. I couldn't bear it and wanted to share the burden for my mother. "This is another attempt to force the emperor into the palace!" Wu Zetian was still furious. When she summoned He Lan Minzhi and Chen Yi to discuss the matter secretly, she couldn't help but get angry in front of them. Chen Yi knowsTo understand what happened, last time many political ministers challenged Wu Zetian, asking Wu Zetian to preside over the ceremony and pass the throne to the crown prince Li Xian, but at that time Li Zhi miraculously "recovered" a lot, and even expected it to take a few months Li Zhi can wake up. But more than half a year has passed, and Li Zhi is still in a coma with no signs of improvement. It seems impossible that he will get up again to serve as director. Many ministers who were worried about state affairs could not help but want to think about the emperor's posthumous affairs. Of course, they did not dare to directly force Wu Zetian to preside over the passing of the throne to Prince Li Xian like last time. They just expressed their wishes to Wu Zetian tactfully. One meaning is that the prince, as the crown prince of a country, has never had the experience of supervising state affairs on his behalf. This is absolutely unacceptable. If one day, Li Zhi really dies, how can the prince who has no experience in handling state affairs be responsible? Therefore, just when Wu Zetian was about to go to Huaqing Palace to take a warm bath, many ministers stood up and proposed that the prince supervise the country, and Li Xian himself also asked for the order. Wu Zetian did not want to give Li Xian this opportunity. Li Hong had supervised the country many times, and the lessons of gaining a high reputation in the court were still fresh in her mind. She hoped that Li Xian would not be involved in any court affairs, even after becoming emperor. She can continue to govern on her behalf. She was angry that the ministers were "forcing the palace" again, but the ministers' suggestions were reasonable and she could not even find a reason to refute. Li Xian's request was also very reasonable and filial. She had no other way to deal with it except praise. , in the end, he could only avoid going to Huaqing Palace on the grounds of minor illness and continue to handle court affairs on his own. However, the suggestions of the ministers did not stop there. They used the queen alone to handle court affairs on behalf of the emperor. The task was too heavy, so the prince should be asked to help handle it. Some unimportant memorials could be reviewed by the prince with the assistance of the officials in the East Palace. , and finally hand it over to the queen for review. There were many ministers who supported letting the prince get involved in handling court affairs. It can be said that most of the prime ministers in the political hall did not object, even ministers like Li Jingxuan and Pei Yan who were trusted by Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian was a little unable to withstand the pressure and was He was forced to agree to let Li Xian review some memorials and handle some court affairs. But she was very angry about this. Of course, the law does not blame everyone, and most of the ministers in the DPRK supported this proposal. She could not blame all the ministers, so the target of her anger could only be vented to one person, of course Prince Li Xian. Her own son. Li Xian asked to share the political affairs for his mother to prevent her mother from being too tired. Naturally, such an act of filial piety cannot be criticized. It is also a very reasonable act for the prince to handle court affairs on his behalf when the emperor is not in good health. Wu Zetian cannot do this either. Blame it. In order to teach Li Xian a lesson and make her son, who had always been well-behaved but a bit too much this time, quit before the difficulties, Wu Zetian could not accuse and convict Li Xian herself. She could only use other methods to get the ministers of the DPRK to stand up and accuse Li Xian. There were many obvious faults. If Li Xian's faults were proven, Wu Zetian could justifiably blame him. Wu Zetian left it to He Lan Minzhi to accuse Li Xian. Of course it is inappropriate for Chen Yi to do this. Although Chen Yi holds an important position in the court and is a popular figure, his qualifications and reputation are not enough, and he is not in the same weight class as Li Xian; and He Lan Minzhi is different. As the heir and heir of the Wu family, he wears too much glory and halo. He is Duke of Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Prince Zuo Wei. His mother is a Korean lady, and his grandmother is a Rongguo lady and Wu Zetian. He was a close nephew, loved by Mrs. Rongguo and Wu Zetian, and was Li Xian's cousin. His several identities made him well qualified to criticize Li Xian's actions. It was at a certain court meeting that Helan Minzhi began to attack Li Xian. The reason for the accusation was the opinions replied in the memorial that Li Xian reviewed on his behalf. That was a proposal submitted by a doctor from the Ministry of Household Affairs, proposing to further promote multi-crop rice planting in Jiangnan Road and Jianghuai Road. It was recommended that all paddy fields should be planted with rice to further increase income. In today's Tang Dynasty, although the Champa rice introduced from Linyi State has been planted on a large scale, it is mainly promoted in Lingnan Road and Jiangnan Road, and is not widely planted in other places. The opinion of this doctor from the Ministry of Finance is that the cultivation of Champa rice has not been promoted in the area. Where there is rice, the people should be forced to plant it in the name of the government. There is experience to learn from, and it is also necessary for the government to provide rice seeds and force the people to plant it and promote it. Although the proposal of this doctor from the Ministry of Finance is a bit extreme, it is still reasonable. Years of planting in other places have proven that the yield of Champa rice is far better than other crops, and it is easy to grow and requires less energy. Forced promotion Nothing is wrong. However, Li Xian's review opinion was that people should not be forced to do things, as that would cause resentment among the people, and he also criticized the minister from the Ministry of Revenue. Wu Zetian gave this memorial to He Lanminzhi to read. After reading it, Helan Minzhi immediately understood it and made an attack in front of the ministers and Li Xian at the court meeting. Although it's a bit overwhelming, I can't find any other better reason, so I can only use this matter to my advantage. "The Empress of Heaven, my lord,??His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very inappropriate in dealing with Wu Langzhong's opinion that the planting of Champa rice should be forced to be promoted in all paddy fields in Jiangnan Province and Huainan Road. I feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not suitable to handle the court on behalf of His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven. Something!" He Lanmin put a big hat on him, surprising Li Xian and many courtiers. (To be continued)
