    Chapter 122: The Queen of Tragedy Watch Qiaoyun in February and August.  .  .  Because of the high altitude, the sky in the northwest is even more windy and light. The clouds are rolling in the sky, which is exceptionally beautiful.  Under this broad and beautiful sky, Lingzhou City also happily woke up from its winter slumber. The trees bloomed with goose-yellow delicate green leaves, the water was clear, and the wind was soft, carrying a smoky atmosphere.  .  Wang Hua looked at the three people in front of him, somewhat dumbfounded.  The scout noticed Li Longji, but the other two people did not report it.  One is Wu Chongning, who Wang Hua dare not reveal and cannot explain clearly.  The other is Li Longji¡¯s princess Wang.  Wu Chongning came here, no doubt because of Princess Taiping¡¯s intention, to add weight to Li Longji.  But seeing the little girl keep looking at him since she came in, her eyes full of love, flirtatiousness, and a strong sense of longing, Wang Hua broke out in a cold sweat.  Don¡¯t do anything bad, don¡¯t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night.  Although Wang Hua was neither angry nor laughing at what Princess Taiping did, he had done something wrong after all, so he winked at Wu Chongning and stopped looking at Wu Chongning.  Wang Hua himself didn¡¯t know what this wink meant.  But Wu Chongning began to lower his head and caressed the delicate red peony dress.  Li Longji hadn¡¯t noticed yet, but Wang, who was beside Li Longji, gave Wang Hua and Wu Chongning a meaningful look.  "The relationship between Princess Taiping and Wang Hua was very clever. Except for a few people who knew it, even Li Dan thought that Wang Hua and Princess Taiping were still incompatible with each other.  When Wu Chongning was released this time, everyone thought it was Princess Taiping who took advantage of Wu Chongning's good relationship with Li Chiying when he was in the capital and persuaded Li Chiying to help persuade him.  Then he suggested that Li Longji take the Wang family to Lingzhou. After all, the Wang family is also a member of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and see if he can use this relationship to seduce Wang Han.  With the persuasion of Wang Han and Li Chiying, I gained another layer of confidence.  But I just didn¡¯t think of the real reason.  But as a woman¡¯s intuition, Wang still vaguely noticed something when she saw the expressions of Wang Hua and Wu Chongning.  But what he didn¡¯t say was that there was something, at least it was beneficial to them now, and they had one more bargaining chip to persuade Wang Hua.  She was calculating the stakes, and Wang Hua also turned his attention to her.  There were four women around Li Longji in history, and almost everyone knew about Concubine Yang.  Another person related to Concubine Yang, Concubine Mei, is also known to many people.  But before them, there were two women, one who was similar to Wu Zetian and Webster's replica, Wu Huifei.  There is also a woman, a very tragic queen, this is Wang.  According to her origin, she is also from the Wang family in Taiyuan, but she is not a direct descendant.  But this woman was the most helpful to Li Longji.  When she married Li Longji, Li Longji was still very young, that is, before Wang Hua entered Luoyang, the situation of Li Longji's family was not very good at that time, and their lives were often in danger.  When Li Longji celebrated his birthday, his family was in a difficult situation and he was unable to congratulate him.  The situation of the Wang family was not good either. Although he was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, he was not a direct disciple and his family was in a low position.  Wang's father, Wang Renjiao, took off his clothes, exchanged a bucket of noodles, made a meal of soup cakes, and spent a shabby but warm birthday for Li Longji.  With the invasion of Mochu, Wu Zetian had to make Li Xian the crown prince, and Li Dan's control was relaxed.  Then gradually there were rewards, gifts were given, and fields were granted. That is to say, when Wang Hua was preparing to enter Luoyang, his family situation had just improved.  It¡¯s not the kindness of soup cakes.  When Li Longji eradicated Webster and other matters, this Wang mostly gave advice to her husband.  Moreover, this woman was of virtuous character and was always kind to the servants in her family and the women around Li Longji. She did not monopolize favors because of her merits.  However, because she had no children, she was disgraced by Concubine Wu Hui and was eventually deposed.  Three months after he was deposed, he was depressed and his brother was executed by Li Longji. Wang died in depression.  At that time, the poet Wang Zhen even couldn't stand Li Longji's mean and unkind behavior, so he wrote the poem "Cuiyu Zhang" to satirize his behavior.  Thinking of this, Wang Hua couldn't help but think of another thing. Is there a grudge between the Wang family and the Wu family in Taiyuan?  Both queens were killed by the Wu family.  But I also thought of another side of Li Longji.  Wang Hua couldn't help but his voice turned cold: "Your Majesty, come here this time, is it you who came up with the answers to those two questions?" Li Longji turned the imitation lacquer red chrysanthemum petal-shaped tea cup in his hand.  This is a new kind of red porcelain. At first, Li Longji thought it was a sand cup. When he held it in his hand, he saw that there were no tiny sand holes like the sand cup. He also thought it was painted with red leather paint from Fujian and Zhejiang, but there was no such thing.  See the paint pattern and listen to the sound.It is said that this is a new kind of porcelain.  This is when I started to play with it. This new imitation lacquer red porcelain cup uses this kind of red glaze, which makes it look more antique.  But he also knew that although Wang Hua transferred several major porcelain kilns in the south of the Yangtze River to eighteen companies, Wang Hua still held some considerable shares in the porcelain kilns.  Also because of the introduction of Wang's painting techniques, new porcelain has been produced continuously over the years.  Just like red porcelain, the capital value of red glaze is not high at the beginning. After all, copper is used as the colorant, which requires higher technical requirements.  Later, the success rate gradually increased, and a kind of bright ruby ??red porcelain that looked like gems began to appear.  But one thing that outsiders don¡¯t know is that they didn¡¯t find fresh red soil at the beginning, so they had to use on-glaze alum red instead of high-temperature copper red glaze. The quality was still very inferior.  Until he found bright red clay, more glazes, and the control of high-temperature fired glazes, from ruby ??red at the beginning to cowpea red, carmine red, Lang Hong, and after Wang Hua left Luoyang, he came out again.  A kind of oxblood red, coral red.  Of course, these reds can be further subdivided, such as cowpea red, also known as Dahongpao, or true red. The price of each piece of this true red porcelain is prohibitively high.  Then there are spots of varying shades, called beauty drunkenness, or beauty offering.  The lighter ones are called baby noodles and peach blossom slices.  The third color is lighter, or darker and turbid, called suckling bark or elm bark.  Secondly, those with uneven gray and black color are also called donkey liver and horse lung.  There are also black burnt bubbles, which are defective products.  Wang Hua did not give a name.  Later, there were more and more types of red porcelain, and there were more and more names.  For example, Jihong, Jihong, Jihong, drunken red, chicken red, vermilion, bright red, bright red, smear red, rouge water, carmine, coral red, pink, beauty sacrifice, peach blossom wave, peach blossom slice, crabapple red, baby face  , Beauty Face, Light Eggplant, Cloud Bean, Jun Purple, Eggplant Skin Purple, Grape Purple, Rose Purple, Rat Skin, Persimmon Red, Maroon Red, Orange Red, Alum Red, Turn Red, Lamb Liver, Meat Red, Pork Liver, Apple Green  , apple green (the latter two are transformed from red, so they are not considered green. In addition, the craftsmanship of underglaze red and red glazed porcelain have many similarities, but red glazed porcelain is mostly single-color porcelain, and underglaze red porcelain  It's underglaze painting, often paired with blue and white, so it's not the same type of porcelain), etc.  After some good people heard these terms, they specially collected all kinds of red porcelain and put them at home for viewing.  But there are some red porcelains that are very difficult to fire. In later generations, there is also a saying that if you want to be poor, you should burn red porcelain.  That is to say, after a piece of Langhong porcelain was fired, the porcelain kiln was exhausted.  Because the failure rate is too high.  So if you want to collect a complete set of red glazed porcelain, it will cost a lot of money.  Because of the trick, this kind of red glazed porcelain came to Lingzhou before it was available, and was first used by Wang Hua.  Li Longji likes painting, dancing, and of course this kind of antique porcelain.  However, he is not very possessive now. When he heard Wang Hua's question, he immediately raised his head and replied: "Manager Wang, I think there are many answers to your two questions. I don't know what answer you have in mind."  "I can't answer it anyway, so I'm just kidding.  But he was still curious in his heart and asked: "Manager Wang, I also think that I have failed. Can you tell me what the two answers are?" The time given by Wang Hua was limited to April, and now it is the New Year  In the second month, ** months passed.  Wang Hua shook his head and said: "The reason why I raised these two questions is to let you think about it. It's a pity that you didn't think about it carefully. And you must think that I am deliberately making things difficult. Let me tell you, I am not making things difficult.  Both questions are key to the decline of the Tang Dynasty in the future. As for the answer, I will only tell you through actions. Otherwise, even if I say it, you may not believe it. Or even if we are alive, no one will believe it.  Hundreds of years of history have proved it. "What Xu said hit the mark. Because he had no clue, Li Longji had the same idea as his father and Princess Taiping, thinking that Wang Hua was making things difficult out of thin air.  But the following proposition was too big. Wang asked from the side: "Manager Wang, you said we didn't think about it, but during this time, many of us are thinking about these two issues. Whether we have found out or not,  Your statement is biased." Wang Hua looked at this poor woman and sighed in his heart, thinking, what are you fighting for?  Your husband may be very kind to you if he is the King of Linzi. As long as your husband becomes the Emperor, you will feel better.  He did not say this, but said: "What I think about is not the answer, but whether I have a heart for this country and the people. I also talked about this issue with the crown prince last time. As long as I have a heart for the country and the people,  People, if you put yourself behind the people, you will come up with the answer. In fact, although I said it will be within four months, if you find the answer now, I may not help you. " This is nonsense.  Wang said disdainfully: "I admit that we can't find the answer, but I don't believe it."?, His Highness Li Chongjun can find out the answer.  " "Princess, why did I give the prince four months at that time?  Just because I plan to take back His Highness the Crown Prince.  This time is four months.  In fact, it is equivalent to giving you a chance.  "Wang Hua had no intention of hiding the truth from Li Longji and his wife. Even if he didn't tell it, Li Longji and his son would have guessed that Li Chongjun was rescued by himself. As for Li Chongjun's defection to Wang Hua, maybe it will be recorded in history books later.  , but how much of the historical records are true? People will believe it, historians will believe it, but at their level, they will not just look at the surface of things. "I know what Manager Wang is thinking, and what Manager Wang means.  If we figure out the answer, then the country will continue to be strong and the people will continue to have a good life.  But we can't figure it out, then Manager Wang will control Prince Chongjun and implement your ideas, am I right?  " "Exactly.  "Wang Hua sighed in his heart again. This woman is not shrewd, but she focused all her energy on her husband. That's why she lost so miserably in the fight with Concubine Wu Hui. "But I still don't understand. Now that Manager Wang has the answer  .  Why don't you tell it? We can also work with Mr. Wang to implement it to make this country strong and make the people live a happy life. We must find out the answer before we can help.  Or control the prince and execute it yourself?  " "I said the second question, I have the answer in my heart, and I also have a solution.  But for the first problem, I haven't found a solution yet.  "Wang Hua said. To weaken the imperial power, power must be delegated to ministers. But this decentralization must also disperse power. Otherwise, once one or two ministers are led by them, they will have the idea of ??usurping the throne. But once they are dispersed, they will restrain each other.  The issuance of government orders has also resulted in a phenomenon of procrastination. Wang Hua is thinking about how to have an efficient leadership team without concentration of power. Of course, we must not talk about democracy in this era, **.  He did not plan to send troops to Chang'an until the situation was resolved. The new emperor was about to ascend the throne and the policy was being implemented. He Lai's policy was only known to Zhu Tong and Mo He.  They were also helpless, but Mo Heqian said: "It was difficult in the Tang Dynasty, but if it was in Oceania, there would be a solution.  "After all, Oceania came into existence from scratch, and you can paint whatever you want. However, after thousands of years of civilization accumulation in the Tang Dynasty, some ideas and concepts have been deeply rooted in people's hearts and are difficult to change." Wang Hua added: "A snake can't do without a head, but it has a head.  It's even more difficult to walk on both ends.  If it were Prince Chongjun, he could control it for me because of his talent.  But it was the crown prince, because the crown prince was smart and capable and had his own independent ideas.  I just said it, but the prince may not listen.  I can force the prince, but I don't have the ability to force the prince.  One more unpleasant word, Your Highness, if I help you, within ten years, you will think highly of me, or you may even agree to my marriage to the little princess.  But after ten years, your mind is more mature and you have more power.  If I don't leave the Tang Dynasty, there is a high probability that I will be dead.  " By then, even one's life will not be saved, let alone the implementation of the policy. Besides, the policy itself is to weaken the imperial power. With Li Longji's talent and strategy, if he has the power, how can he allow himself to weaken his imperial power. So Wang Hua said again and again,  Let Li Longji think about it. If he realizes this problem, it will be easier to solve.  ¡± ¡°How big is your belly?¡±  Wang Hua smiled sarcastically and said, "Do you believe that I will have a good life?"  A few days ago, Mr. Zhu and I were talking about Wei Sili.  Who was he originally?  Who is he now?  People will change.  For example, the Queen Mother supported the common people so that common people could enter the court.  This has given opportunities to many civilians and given hope to the people at the bottom.  This approach is very good.  But Prince, have you noticed that the more corrupt officials are, most of them come from civilian backgrounds.  why is that?  Although they were born in poverty, which enabled them to know more about the sufferings of the people and become good officials, most of them fell faster because of their poverty.  The children of aristocratic families serve as officials, which makes the family stronger and the inequality between rich and poor more severe.  But because their family situation is good and they have no shortage of money, it is not easy for them to become corrupt officials.  So people will change.  "Wang Hua didn't say anything to death. Children from poor families have long been in charge of the family. There are still many good officials from poor people. Known as China's first scholar-official, Fan Zhongyan of the Song Dynasty. He did not come from a rich family, precisely because  A life of poverty has created his extraordinary and noble personality. But how many men can be so powerful that they cannot be moved by wealth or poverty? But this time, Li Longji brought Wang.  Benefits??It's hard for Li Longji to say it, but Wang can say it because she is a woman.  She said again with disdain: "General Manager Wang, it's as you wish. But the prince is really willing to be your puppet?" In fact, she still admired Wang Hua very much.  From the beginning, he was just a poor boy who was forced to sell lacquerware in Luoyang to make a living. Then, as a young boy, he fought with the world's largest forces, seven surnames and ten families, and repeatedly solved various problems.  Then as a courtier, he fought with Wu Sansi and others.  Since his growth, he has had conflicts with almost all the major forces in the Tang Dynasty.  In the end, he actually fought directly with Webster.  Even King Xiang and Princess Taiping don't have the guts.  Up to now, he has fought his way out of Luoyang, but he has opened up a great new world in the northwest. He is eyeing the imperial court. Even Webster controls the world, but he still gives in to him not three points, but six points and seven points.  It is still difficult for Wang Hua to dominate the world now, but he can definitely control the world. He was born from nothing.  Now let¡¯s put it bluntly, although it is treasonous to support the crown prince as a puppet, no one thinks that it is impossible.  But what she said hit home Wang Hua's pain point.  I was about to settle the score with them.  After "welcoming" Li Chongjun, Wang Hua made room for him in Lingzhou, built a large mansion for him, and also gave him a sum of money to allow him to open a mansion.  This is also done under compulsion.  Since you want to support Li Chongjun, you must give him a certain degree of freedom and respect.  "And if we attack Webster, the scale of this war will not be small. Blood camps alone cannot do it, even with artillery.  The larger the place, the more dispersed the troops. Therefore, in the end, it was necessary to rely on armies from all over the Central Plains to come and join the army, and to supplement the talents and troops with the help of capable people and scholars from all sides.  This must be done in the name of Li Chongjun, and even allowed him to recruit a group of talents.  But he relaxed. Li Chongjun's status is easy to change, his nature is hard to change, and he is once again dissatisfied with his current status.  He began to recruit his cronies on a large scale and cultivate his own strength.  Moreover, his hands were very long, and he actually found the generals of the Blood Camp. He did not dare to say anything clearly. He only said what kind of high-ranking officials and generous positions he would be given if he sent troops to avenge Li Xian.  Trying to win over the soldiers of the Blood Camp and let them serve Li Chongjun.  Wang Hua has been sitting aside and watching with cold eyes. Li Chongjun's doing this is also a touchstone to see how the generals in the blood camp will react and how loyal they are to him.  " However, the generals didn't know what Wang Hua was thinking, and they complained to Wang Hua one after another, saying that Li Chongjun didn't know what was good or bad.  Not only was this Li Chongjun's idea, but among the staff Li Chongjun recruited, there were several scribes from the Prime Minister or Princess Taiping. They stirred up trouble in Li Chongjun's ears all day long, making Li Chongjun even worse.  .  Wang Hua said coldly: "Princess, don't forget that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is far more talented than the Crown Prince." People call him the Hun Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is nothing more than spiritual Xian.  It's actually wrong.  After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he talked with the elder Liu Bian. The young emperor's words were incoherent, but Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was able to explain the matter completely.  At that time, Emperor Xian was only nine years old.  In addition, the Empress Dowager Dong who raised Emperor Xian had the same surname as Dong Zhuo, so she deposed Shao Xian.  In the first year of Xingping, there were three droughts and three droughts. Grain prices soared. People in Chang'an city were cannibals. Xian Emperor ordered Shihou Wen, the censor, to cook porridge to relieve the disaster.  However, many people still starved to death. Emperor Xian suspected that Hou Wen had embezzled public grain, so he sent someone to get five liters of rice and beans, and cooked porridge himself in his area. He could cook two pots. This confirmed that Hou Wen had cheated, so he defended Hou Wen.  Afterwards, the victims of the Chang'an disaster finally received relief.  When he was only fourteen years old, Cao Cao was in charge of power. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty did not miss Shu as much as Liu Chan. He secretly issued an edict and ordered Dong Guiren's father, Dong Cheng, to try to kill Cao Cao.  Dong Chengsui conspired with Zuo General Liu Bei, Changshui Captain Zhongji, General Wu Zilan, Wang Zifu and others. As a result, the matter was exposed. Dong Cheng and others were executed by Cao Cao, and the pregnant Dong Guiren was also strangled.  Empress Fu was afraid of Cao Cao, so she wrote to her father Fu Wan, listing all the cruel and unkind things done by Cao Cao, hoping that Fu Wan could follow Dong Cheng's example and eliminate powerful officials, but Fu Wan never dared to act.  Four years later, Queen Fu and Fu Wan's family were executed by Cao Cao. Cao Cao died and forced Emperor Xian to abdicate the throne to him.  He became the Duke of Shanyang.  "But after Emperor Xian arrived in Shanyang, he shared the people's worries, cultivated vegetable gardens, and helped the world by hanging pots, and was deeply loved by the people.  Therefore, the people respected Emperor Xian as a great man, and Queen Cao Jie as a beauty, and regarded her as their parents.  This is why the Tang Dynasty called adults father.  Even in later generations, many people still call their fathers great and their mothers beautiful.  The grandfather of the son and daughter of Emperor Xian was Cao Cao, so the grandfather was called Wei Gong and the grandmother was called Wei Po. This title was still used in the Tang Dynasty.  It was only later that I became grandparents.  Also today, Shanyang Jiao Zuo¡¯s wife is visiting her son-in-law during the Dragon Boat Festival. This is also because Cao Jie is under house arrest in Shanyang and cannot go to the capital. However, her mother, Queen Mother Bian, can go to Shanyang City to visit her second daughter Cao Jie at will, so Jiao XinA custom is turned upside down.  In order to protect his children, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty demoted his children to Shanyang and asked their children to call them uncle, uncle, or several elders. This title continued to influence for more than a thousand years.  Because he had learned medical skills in Shanyang, he never charged for the Chinese herbal medicine dug from Yuntai Mountain. Acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and scraping were all free of charge. Only the cost of the purchased medicines was charged.  Out of gratitude to the two of them, the common people followed customs. The people in Jiaozuo respected the old Chinese medicine practitioners very much and respected them as kings. They could credit or owe Chinese herbal medicines, but never bargained. In rural areas, they never charge for acupuncture and cupping.  .  This is also the reason why there is no counter-offer for Chinese medicine and there is no charge for acupuncture.  "This emperor, if he hadn't encountered troubled times and encountered a heroic figure like Cao Cao, he would have been a wise king, and his qualifications would have far surpassed that of Li Chongjun.  Wang Hua took out this character, which means that even Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty failed, not to mention Li Chongjun¡¯s little tricks.  But Wang's face changed after hearing this, and she asked: "Do you want to learn from Cao Cao?" "I plan to learn from Cao Cao. But I am not Cao Cao. After a few years, if my wish comes true, I will leave the court voluntarily, and  I also intend to keep the royal family forever." But at this point, Wang Hua changed the topic and said sternly: "There is one more thing I want to tell you today. Immediately transfer your personnel away from the crown prince. Otherwise, don't do it.  Kill me without mercy" []
