    Chapter 91: Old Prime Minister Lao Jiang Zhang said looking at these big guys.  Zuo Pushe Wei Juyuan, the minister Wei Anshi, and the imperial minister Wei Sili also served as the minister of Zhongshu and the third rank of Zhongshu's family. Wei Wen was the third rank of Prince Shaobao and the fourth rank of Zhongshu.  Think again of the princes-in-law Wei Jie and Wei Guan, Wei Weiqing Wei Xuan, Zuo Qianniu Zhonglang general Wei Qi, Wei Rui, Wei Wen's nephew Gao Song, Wei Cou and his two sons Wei Xuxin.  , Wei Xuzhou, and more Wei officials whose names he couldn't even remember.  Looking at these four big guys, and then thinking about Zhu Wei, you can understand why Li Xian has emptied his power now. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of Zhongshu and Xiao Zhizhong.  The prime minister alone, when the truth and falsehood are put together, there are ten people, not to mention redundant officials. Seeing these ten prime ministers, four from the Wei family, Li Qiao is a sycophant, Zhang Renyuan is now too scared to speak,  Zhao Yanzhao is a bold young man with a good character and a good relationship with Zhang Shuo. When Zhang Shuo and Wang Hua talked about this person, Wang Hua said lightly: "Oh, isn't he just the flatterer who flattered a witch and treated her like a girl?  "Wang Hua is referring to the fact that in order to take a shortcut to get to the throne, Zhao Yanzhao had a witch named Zhao who pretended to be a magician to get in and out of the palace. So he ignored her shame and worshiped her as his aunt, and then used her to introduce her, wear women's clothes, and ride in a car with his wife.  After paying homage to Li Xian, he was filmed flattering him and performed a girl's play, so he asked Li Xian to support him and become the prime minister.  Wang Hua just said a word, and Zhang Shuo planned to completely draw a clear line with him from now on.  Not to mention Cui Shi and Zheng Min, they had already taken refuge in Webster.  Su Huan was an honest official, but unfortunately he was a good old man.  Xiao Zhizhong is a very upright person, but it is a pity that he cannot stand alone.  Of these ten prime ministers, at least six were controlled by Webster, and three did not dare to speak.  How could Li Xian give orders to the court? ???????????????? Then look at the big boss of the Six-part Jiuqing Yushitai, the situation is even worse.  Li Xian actually asked these people for their opinions.  But for the sake of the country, he bowed deeply and said: "My dear ministers, for the sake of the country and the people, please put aside your grudges." Wei Juyuan said unhappily: "Shilang Zhang, please be careful when you speak. We should distinguish between public and private affairs, can't we?  Are you saying that we brought our grudges to the court? "That's the truth, but Zhang said he couldn't tell it.  Wei Juyuan obviously did not take Zhang's theory seriously. He turned around and said to Li Xian: "Your Majesty, Zhang Shilang proposed that I do not agree. Once this case is started, the Tang Dynasty will have endless troubles. In the future, if any border minister is dissatisfied with the imperial court, he will publicly plot  If there is chaos, what should the court do? Give in to them one by one, and spend money to appease their unsatisfied hearts. Who will be the minister and who will be the king? Just like this time, Guo Yuanzhen is already learning.  Wang Hua. Why did he still use troops against Tuyuhun despite the three imperial edicts? "Wei Juyuan didn't mention this, but when he mentioned it, he stepped forward and said.  : "Your Majesty, there are rumors from the outside world that some time ago, the imperial court sold out the interests of several Lingyan Shanhe prefectures in exchange for joining forces with Tubo and Turks. However, the reconciliation failed, and instead the Tubo Turks unscrupulously murdered the people on the border. This has already happened  It has become a shame and a joke for the court. Now it is reported that General Xue Ne is not allowed to attack Mochu and waits for this hero to escape from the desert. Is this true? Why did Guo Yuanzhen stop attacking Tuyuhun?  Did the imperial court forget that nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians were killed in Dafeichuan in the first year of Xianheng? Did the imperial court forget that hundreds of thousands of troops were killed in Qinghai in the third year of Yifeng?  Nearly 100,000 troops died? Now God has given the Tang Dynasty a chance to revitalize the Western Regions. Your Majesty, don¡¯t you want the Tang Dynasty¡¯s martial arts to be glorious? ¡°Li Xian¡¯s face turned red with embarrassment, wasn¡¯t he?  No, mainly now his words have no effect.  Zhang said then turned to look at Wei Juyuan and said: "I won't say what the point of occupying Dafeichuan is. And Guo Yuanzhen doesn't even have the military and financial resources of the Central Plains to move, why not let him move? Could it be that Wei Xianggong, you and  "How are the Tubo people and the Tuyuhun people related?" "Shilang Zhang, please learn how to speak, behave, and understand the meaning of certain words. I want to ask you, is what Wang Hua did in the eight states right?"  Zhang Shuo was speechless again. From the perspective of the court, Zhang Shuo couldn't be right.  But in the final analysis, it was caused by Wei's killing of Wang Hua, but because of Li Xian's later acquiescence, Zhang said it was also difficult to bring it up.  "If it's wrong, why should we compromise? Has any monarch ever compromised with his ministers since ancient times? Yes, that was Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Do you want our Majesty to be regarded as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty?" This big hat suppressesLater, Zhang said his head was sweating.  He said in his heart, no wonder Wang Hua said that he would be a prime minister in the future, but not now.  As prime minister, I am far behind.  Wei Juyuan changed the subject and said: "Of course, peace is the most important thing. If Wang Hua regrets it and obeys the court's arrangements, he might as well be made the general manager of Lingzhou to fight against the Tubo Turks. Some rewards can also be given to the blood camp, such as  Food, salary, cloth and other supplies, but there are a few things that Wang Hua must implement. The first Wang Hua is not allowed to send any troops to the imperial court. The second blood camp is the imperial army, and he is asked to hand over the blood camp to the imperial court immediately. "  At first Zhang said that he thought Wei Juyuan had changed his mind. As long as the court released a large amount of food and military pay, it was equivalent to negotiating conditions with Zhu Ding. However, after Wei Juyuan modified it, it was not a condition, but a reward, and the court would not lose face.  This is a feasible approach.  But the next sentence came out, Zhang Shuo repeatedly said that this person is not a thing.  The Blood Camp sent troops to threaten the imperial court. As long as the conditions are negotiated, I believe it will not be difficult to retreat.  But who can make Wang Hua hand over to the blood camp?  Just tell Wang Hua, lower your head and let me wipe your face off.  He was so angry with Wei Juyuan that he sat down and said nothing.  After Wei Juyuan finished speaking, he also sat down without looking at Zhang Shuo.  But another man stood up again, and Wei Wen said: "Your Majesty, I have another idea. In fact, this time Wang Hua is worried about food. Although he got a lot of food last year, this year there are more people in his territory, as  Zhang Shilang said that most of the people had nothing to eat in the morning, so Wang Hua was sending troops regardless of success or failure. In fact, this is also the most deadly place for the Blood Camp. It is obviously unrealistic to get food from the Turks in the north.  Even if Tubo agreed to let them go, they would not be able to transport food from that snowy area. There is a vast desert to the west, and the only way is to transport food back from our Tang Dynasty.  We only need to immediately transfer the food from Yandan, Qing, Wei, Qinwu and other states back to the interior, so that our army can't get food even if he sends troops. This way, we must preserve our strength wherever he goes.  Occupy a place, otherwise there will be danger. However, he does not have many troops. It is said that even the Tibetan prisoners of war are used by him, so the larger the area he occupies, the fewer troops he can use.  He sent people to spread rumors in his territory, causing the people to panic. Within a month, the blood camp was in chaos. "Zhang said that he didn't want to talk when he sat down, but after hearing Wei Wen's words, he couldn't help but stand up again and said: "Si Wei Xianggong,  Please be clear-headed, please. You are now a prime minister, so you have to think carefully before speaking. "He said that peace would benefit both sides. These people want to grasp whether Wang Hua did the right thing or not. Zhang said that he has no idea.  Method.  But it doesn't mean that Zhang Shuo was captured by these people.  The sound of Si Wei Xianggong made Xiao Zhizhong and Su Ju lower their heads to laugh.  But I also admired him in my heart. After all, everyone was shameless and splashed dirty water around, but Zhang said it was done very skillfully.  Sure enough, after Li Xian heard the sentence "Si Wei Xianggong", the muscles on his face trembled.  When Wu Zetian was alive, in order to prevent the government from falling into the hands of one family, Wei Anshi was used instead of Wei Juyuan, and Wei Juyuan was used instead of Wei Anshi.  But now he has appointed four people from the Wei family as prime ministers.  This is the top of the pyramid.  There are about twenty other officials of the fourth, fifth and sixth grades and related relatives, and there are no one knows how many people there are in the rows from the seventh grade to the back.  ¡°I originally thought it was a way to repay my wife¡¯s love and care, but now I know it has finally caused trouble.  Zhang said he was still talking: "You sent people to spread rumors. Well, I am a small minister, and I will do an analysis for you. What is the situation in the eight states now? Business in the eight states is more prosperous than before. This is  The result of Wang Hua's encouragement was that only food was not sold and bought by the blood camp, and then distributed to the people. This distribution was divided into three parts. The first part was distributed to meritorious tribes based on military merit.  They sent their children to join the army. The second part was distributed according to the poverty situation, and the third part was distributed as compensation for farmland. What effect would it have if you just sent people to spread the rumors?  It's a price increase, it's a panic, and neither will be obtained. On the contrary, it will further stimulate the people's resentment towards the court. Maybe in order to survive, they will encourage their children to join the army, capture our Chaozhou County, and rob food." "Let's talk about the first thing.  Yes, evacuating food from various states and counties is one way. But do you know how many days the blood camp will occupy? We can't let the people left behind go hungry for a month or half a year. The blood camp will not have any impact on these states and counties.  Interested. If there is interest, Linzhou, Diezhou, Taozhou will be interested, which is the gateway to Jishishan, Helanyuan and other states. Xia Fengshengyin and Liuhuzhou will also be interested.  These are poor areas. Even if they are barbarians, they are afraid of facing Turks, but if they fall into the blood camp, with these states in hand, they are not afraid of the imperial court joining forces with the Turks again.It threatens the Lingzhou area, the central area of ????the Eight Prefectures.  Unless the Turks pass through the desert to the west, but in that case, even if they pass through, the number of people will not be too large to threaten the Blood Camp.  This is the final area of ??Blood Camp.  If you remove grain from other states and counties, he will not care about the life and death of the people in these states and counties. If you 'buy' the grain away together, the people will flee eastward if they don't have anything to eat.  How many people are there in these dozen states? Think about it, seven to eight hundred thousand people are on the move.  Who will be responsible for this consequence?  Also, if they are pushed into a hurry and the army really sends troops to Chang'an, why don't Chang'an City also leave food?  This is really a terrible idea." "Compared to Wei Anshi, Wei Sili or Wei Juyuan, they have all been in high positions for a long time, so it is not easy to grasp the handle when talking, Wei Wen is a little more mature. His rise to the top is mainly due to his relationship with  Regarding Wei's relationship, he is the closest cousin among Wei's blood. There is no way. His biological brother was killed by the Ning family in Qinzhou, and his cousin is also good. Therefore, he gave Zhang a refutation and was speechless.  . Zhang said that he hadn¡¯t stopped yet, and he believed that as long as Wei Shi didn¡¯t fall, he might still be able to be used by them, and he could negotiate with Wang Hua again.  For these dozen or so big men, the minister's official position is actually not small) and he said loudly: "I also have doubts about what Er Xianggong (referring to Wei Juyuan, a few ministers laughed again) just now.  I know Wang Hua is wrong to do this, but now for the sake of the country, why not take a step back temporarily.  Liu Bang still had the siege of Baideng, but what if it fell into the hands of Han Wu?  Let¡¯s talk about this dynasty. The Turks were once regarded as superior countries by Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong, but what about after a few decades?  They want the blood camp to be safe and the court not to hold them back. They want to fight the Tibetans and seize Jishi Mountain. They also want to seize Zishan and rescue the princess.  This does not require a single soldier from the imperial court.  Even if the court is hostile to them, they might as well sit back and watch the two tigers fight, maybe silently remember the hatred of Nanhetao, and it will turn into a fight between three tigers. Is this a good thing?  If you are not hostile to them, you can treat them with all your heart. People's hearts are full of flesh.  Now that their name is not right and their words are not right, if the court does not show hostility, they will gather the bloody camp.  Not to mention Wang Hua, if there are dozens of tiger generals under the Blood Camp, once they are placed at the border areas, how dare the Turks and Tibetans invade them?  If you are far away, you can make great achievements in martial arts, and if you defend, you can save a lot of troops, saving labor and manpower and a lot of military expenditures for the country.  Either they are no match for the enemy or friends, but you can also watch and watch them fight the Tubo people until the end. Either the Tubo people defeat the Blood Camp, or at least they are defeated by the Tubo people. We in the Tang Dynasty are not evil people, so why not do it?  If the Blood Camp defeated Tubo and forced the Tubo people to hand over Princess Jincheng, and Wang Hua fulfilled his promise, what would he do?  Can you still use this name to borrow the eight states of the imperial court?  " This is what he was thinking about along the way, so he said it loudly and powerfully. After finishing speaking, he bowed deeply to Li Xian: "I ask your Majesty to think again.  " But Li Xian once again did something that disappointed him. Li Xian looked at these dozen big guys and asked: "My dear friends, what do you think?  " Wei Sili stood up and said, "Shilang Zhang, you are indeed very eloquent. If you don't pay attention, you will be confused.  Let me ask you two questions. The first question is, according to your opinion, the imperial court not only agreed to lend them eight states, but now also wants to lend them the capitals of nine states, including Laitao Linfeng Sheng Xialin and Liuhu two states.  When did the court agree?  Did you agree?  " So the speech of an experienced person is different from the speech of an inexperienced person. Wei Sili asked this question and Zhang said it was also difficult to answer. But the facts are before our eyes. If the nine prefectures are allowed to vacate the blood camp, it will be  Putting the knife on their necks, they will not agree. "I ask you again, now the Blood Camp has such terrifying combat power in eight states, plus these nine state capitals, if you want, you can go from Jishi Mountain to Hehe.  Two large states can be opened between the three states of Kuo and Shan, which has nearly tripled its area and more than doubled its population.  What are the consequences of giving them a chance to breathe this time?  "After saying that, he took over the map and drew on it with a pen. Originally, the eight states were in the shape of a young silkworm that was difficult to defend. They were very long but very thin. But now the nine states plus Jishishan Na are included.  After entering, it turned into an upside-down L shape. It no longer had the long and thin disadvantages of the original, and the area was still very considerable. If you don¡¯t care if you don¡¯t draw it, even Zhang Shuo will take a breath.  But it can't be said that the area south of Jishi Mountain was brought in and became the territory of the Tang Dynasty. But Wei Sili's approach really made Zhang Shuo speechless again.  He said that the blood camp would not grow and would not be a threat to the Tang Dynasty. He glanced at Wei Anshi and thought that since Wang Hua regarded you as the third prime minister, you just said a word.  , it¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t want to talk, if he startsThat would be very useful. After all, he is from the Wei family and has high authority in the Wei family.  But Wang Hua is too cruel. If he gains power, his entire family may die.  Therefore, it is also difficult for him to choose, and this mentality also exists.  So Wei Min and Wei Anshi discussed it that night. We wouldn't harm Wang Hua, but we wouldn't help Wang Hua either.  This is their attitude and bottom line.  "Besides, Zhang said that this boy is not well-intentioned. He talks about the Xianggong of the Fourth Wei and the Second Wei. So obviously Wei Sili is the Xianggong of the Third Wei, and he is the Xianggong of the Great Wei.  He looked up at the sky.  Not everyone wears the same pants as Webster, but there is one person who wants to speak several times, Su Jue.  But he was also included in Wang Hua's review list, which made him feel somewhat honored.  But in this matter, he couldn't speak out because of this list. As soon as he spoke, these people would immediately attack him and Wang Hua.  I do n¡¯t see Zhang Renxuan. Now I hang a Chinese book door with the same three grades, but this prime minister is more difficult than a waiter.  But at this time, someone finally spoke. Xiao Zhizhong coughed and said, "I think you have misunderstood each other in your arguing. What Wei Pushe said to Wei Zhongshu and Wei Shaobao was right, and what Zhang Shilang said was also right.  That's right. There is no doubt that Wang Hua's crime is unforgivable. It is also true that if he compromises, the situation will be even worse. But Zhang Shilang is also right.  Deal with it. But don't forget that there is another Oceania in the distance. It has grown over the past year and is said to have a population of more than 3 million. Wang Hua said that there are now 10,000 soldiers in the blood camp.  It is definitely not a lie to draw out more than 200,000 soldiers. After all, they are slaves and do not need to cherish their lives and families. Therefore, if they are allowed to reach Lingnan, coupled with Wang Hua's reputation in Lingnan, it is definitely not a lie.  With support, Lingnan is likely to fall. But if Zong Chuke and Chang Yuankai send out troops to support them, how many more troops can the court spare, plus the 300,000 troops in the northwest?  The number of troops supporting Lingnan may be 100,000 or 200,000. Can the imperial court afford it?  It's definitely not a lie. "This is the crux of the problem. Zhang Shuo and Su Jue breathed a sigh of relief.  Wei Juyuan wanted to interrupt, but Xiao Zhizhong did not say that, even though he also did a flattering thing and married his daughter to Cui Wuchang, Wei's brother-in-law, and when they got married, Li Xian was the master of the Xiao family, and Wei was the master of the Cui family.  They were ridiculed by the people as the emperor marrying his daughter and the queen marrying his wife.  But there is nothing that can be done about it. Just like Wang Hua said, you have to be flexible. Therefore, neither Hai Rui nor Bao Zheng can be real prime ministers in their lives. They are too straight-tempered. Sitting in the prime minister may not be a good thing, but it is possible.  Will do bad things.  Xiao Zhizhong was despised by Wang Hua because of his close relationship with Princess Taiping. Wei Anshi appeared among so many people on the list, but Xiao Zhizhong did not appear.  But overall this person is pretty good. He also has to do things in his position as prime minister, but he can't always contradict Webster, the Wei family, and Webster's colleagues.  Therefore, this marriage is also needed to resolve the increasingly fierce conflicts.  Similarly, Webster also valued this marriage. After all, her reputation was not very good. Xiao Zhizhong was born in the famous Xiao family in Lanling and was a representative of Qingliu.  That's why the scandal of the emperor marrying his daughter and the queen marrying his wife appeared.  But Xiao Zhizhong did not turn to Webster because of this.  He won't buy into Wei Juyuan's fault either.  He continued: "And you all neglected one thing. When Zhang Shilang came back, Wang Hua did two things. Although because of Zhang Shilang's persuasion, he did not send troops to cause trouble in Lingnan, nor did he raise food prices, he still sent troops.  But another very subtle thing was done. He released the three Zong Chuke, and I heard another thing. He probably realized that Zong Chuke had suffered a lot in Lingzhou, so Wang Hua sent him away again.  A large amount of jewelry and flying money, worth about 100,000 yuan, were given to Zong Shilang. "When he said this, he wanted to laugh in his heart. Wang Hua's move was too damaging.  "What does this mean? Have you ever thought about it?" "Xiao Qing, what do you mean?" Li Xian asked.  "Your Majesty, I only stated what Wang Hua meant. I don't represent the thoughts of the ministers. I am just for your Majesty's reference. He did this because he sent troops because if the imperial court continued to attack the eight states, he would also fight back. He released three people and gave them  The gift is to tell us that even Zong Chuke, who has an sworn hatred with him, is back, and all the ministers who have a grudge with him should not mind it anymore. What's more, does that mean that the emperor and the queen are that bad?  A little bit of a move to surrender to the court? " After saying this, Wei Wenke became anxious. He wanted to speak, but Xiao Zhizhong immediately sealed his mouth and said, "Wei Shaobao, I just said that this is what Wang Hua means for his release.  It has nothing to do with me, I don¡¯t want to quarrel with you, and the blood camp soldiers sent Weizhou¡¯s words.??Soon it will be Qinzhou, Fengzhou, and then your Wei family.  " "You, you," Wei Wen was extremely angry, but there was no way to refute. Didn't people say that he was just talking about Wang Hua's thoughts, not his, how to refute? Zhang said in his heart he sighed, Jiang  I am still too old, and I still have a lot to learn. PS: I won¡¯t say more about the cause of Li Xian¡¯s death. It is true that there are discrepancies between the old and new Tang books and Zizhi Tongjian. Sima Guangzhong was conservative, so it¡¯s not a big deal.  Believable, but according to what he said about poisoning, he also used a sentence that although it was not full of questions, the meaning was quite unhappy. This made Webster and the party worried, and thus explained the motivation for Webster's poisoning. This is also  A more reliable explanation. A person's patience is always limited, and Li Xian is not a real fool, so this book still adopts a conservative view. Many ministers have said in the previous chapter.  Some of them are not mentioned and will not be elaborated one by one. In short, this is also Wu Zetian's contribution, because many of them came from poor families. Without Wu Zetian, these people would not have stood out. It should be said that these ministers are also ministers with excellent character.  There are others, such as Lu Xiangxian and others, who are mainly afraid that people will think it is water injection. Most of the chapters in Guanju Yipin are water injection, but he is water injection and I am Sai, and they have also read a lot of books.  It¡¯s just that I¡¯m not talented enough and I¡¯m not successful. So I¡¯m destined not to write a history book next time. I¡¯ll change my mind and recharge my batteries before reading it again. This will probably be the last full month¡¯s update of the book.  There may be more next month, but there is not much content left. I originally wanted to write a single chapter to explain, but the main results are too bad, so I am embarrassed to write.  It¡¯s unfinished. So in the last month, please support me by subscribing and voting. (One more thing, I want to make a promise to you. As long as I am coding, I will give you at least 3.3 million words every year.  , this is my promise. This is less than the second year. I will at least maintain this speed from this year to next year. What should I do? Only speed and diligence can make me sweat again) []
