Text Chapter 2680 Morning Court

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Shangguan Wan'er was really confused. She didn't know whether Wu Zetian was really crazy or fake.

    It has long been a theorem that men are superior to women, and even all the emperors in the past and present are useless, let alone Wu Zetian.

    “Furthermore, Confucianism has penetrated into every corner, whether in the court or among the people.

    As for the scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, not to mention these four classes, Confucianism firmly ruled the entire class and suppressed from the top all other classes that tried to challenge Confucianism.

    But the Confucians are also smart. They do not suppress them completely, but give them hope, making them feel that if they give up their current status, they can join them and become a member of the noblest scholars like them.

    Let them look down on their own class first. This brings up the question of wanting to be an official in the court?  Yes, you must first become a member of the Shilin, and then you will be qualified to be an official.

    Not only that, Confucianism also suppressed women, lumping them into the same category as villains, and even created many rules and regulations that made men superior to women, so that women could not access books.

    Of course, not all women, but most women.

    It can be said that under such a background environment, a woman can sit on the golden dragon chair step by step. It is so difficult and tiring that no one else can imagine.

    But Wu Zetian did it, but Wu Zetian did not give her a good reputation in later generations. Whenever people in later dynasties mentioned Wu Zetian, they would always say that Wu Zetian was in trouble.

    To them, being ruled by a woman is chaos.

    That is the inversion of heaven and earth, the reverse order of yin and yang.

    Shangguan Wan'er didn't speak for a long time, looking at Wu Zetian blankly.

    At this time, Wu Zetian was not only crazy, but also had a strong fighting spirit.

    "Your Majesty really doesn't kill slaves?"

    "I am reluctant to kill you because you are a very good chess piece."

    Wu Zetian said frankly that she did have feelings for Shangguan Wan'er, but she would not let her feelings influence her decision, but Shangguan Wan'er was indeed a very good chess piece.

    "When she appointed Shangguan Wan'er, it was actually a test for the government and the opposition. Even it was just a false position with a name but no power, which already caused shock to the government and the opposition.

    If Wu Zetian hadn’t tried his best to protect her, the grass on Shangguan Wan’er’s grave would have been two meters high.

    "This is my slave's honor."

    Shangguan Wan'er did have hatred for Wu Zetian, but it was not that pure. After all, to her, Wu Zetian was an object of admiration, an object that women all over the world should admire. She did everything that women dare not think about or do.  Things to do.

    "And if there was no Wu Zetian, there would be no Shangguan Wan'er today.

    The best female official in the world!  The first female official to have a full-time position.

    So, when Wu Zetian revealed her crazy purpose, Shangguan Wan'er's heart was moved.

    She really couldn't resist this crazy plan, she wanted to be a part of it.

    This is also the result Wu Zetian hopes to get. Bai Chen once commented that Shangguan Wan'er was talented but not capable, but her identity could be used.

    Just like Wu Zetian, a unique empress, Shangguan Wan'er is a unique female official, and this is her greatest value.

    "Very good." Wu Zetian showed a satisfied smile: "Go to Di Renjie and he will tell you what you are going to do."

    "Your Majesty, Master Di also"

    Shangguan Wan'er immediately understood that if there was anyone in the government and the public who would participate in this plan, then Di Renjie was the most likely one.

    Other courtiers, apart from political and party affiliations, are also staunch Confucian scholars and staunch scholars.

    But Di Renjie is different. He does not stick to any one identity. He is a scholar, but being a scholar is just a stepping stone for him to enter politics. Di Renjie is the one who knows how to adapt best.

    Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but feel a little relieved. With Di Renjie involved, the plan would go smoother, but only a little.

    Even with Wu Zetian and Di Renjie, they are still just mantises acting as chariots.

    They are too weak. Di Renjie now has a certain influence in the government and the opposition.

    This influence comes from Di Renjie's political achievements and his status as the minister of Dali Temple. However, once their plan is exposed, they will all be in the flood.

    Shangguan Wan'er came to Dali Temple and found Di Renjie with the token given by Wu Zetian.

    Di Renjie also obtained the information beforehandZetian's care informed Shangguan Wan'er of part of the plan.

    Neither Wu Zetian nor Di Renjie fully trusted Shangguan Wan'er.

    This is also the guarantee for their survival. The reason why Wu Zetian and Di Renjie can trust each other is just because there is a middleman, Bai Chen, who allows them to trust each other.

    "Moreover, Di Renjie has no ambitions. He also has political intentions that he wants to realize.

    To command all civil and military officials?  This is not what he wants, at least not just this.

    He wants to do something earth-shattering, just like those supreme ministers in Lingxiao Pavilion.

    Even heroes like Han Xin, Zhang Liang and Xiao He, but there is no war now. Unless he wants to rebel, it is impossible to surpass their achievements under normal circumstances.

    But now Bai Chen came up with a plan for him and Wu Zetian, a plan that would overturn the world.

    "Failure is just a matter of body and soul disappearing, but success means that one's achievements will be passed down to the ages and one will be famous for eternity."

    This is a temptation that no one can refuse. Di Renjie is also a common man. While others seek wealth and power, he seeks fame.

    The next day

    The sky was still slightly bright, and the ministers were already gathered in the Jinluan Palace. Even if it lasted for decades, they would never get tired of it.

    For them, even if they don’t sleep, as long as they can stand here, express their thoughts and influence the general trend of the world, it is worth it.

    However, most of them are better at reciting poems than anyone else, but they don't know how to govern the world.

    The world they talk about is the world they govern.

    For example, if there is a flood and disaster relief is needed, then they start to request that the treasury be opened to support disaster relief.

    But do they really know how to provide disaster relief, or do they really want to provide disaster relief?

    Every year, due to droughts, floods, insect famines and other disasters in various places, the national treasury allocates at least one million dollars, but only less than one percent is actually used for disaster relief.

    Their concept is that after receiving the disaster relief funds, they will go to the local area to open a few porridge shops, and that will be it.

    As for how to resettle refugees and rebuild their homes, they don’t know. That is a matter for local officials.

    If the victims cause trouble, it is the fault of the government's incompetence. If things go smoothly, it is their merit in disaster relief.

    During the three hundred years of Li Tang's rule, why the population has not been increasing? To a large extent, it is because there have been almost no interruptions in major disasters during these three hundred years. Almost every year, hundreds of thousands of people died due to various disasters.  die.

    You must know that in this era, the Central Plains has a population of less than 20 million, and the number of victims in the hundreds of thousands is already a very terrifying number.

    ??And a large part of them died of starvation. The Central Plains has always been a mountainous area with thalassemia, and it is difficult to cultivate many places. Moreover, droughts, floods, and insect disasters have swept across the country in turns, resulting in food production being unable to increase.

    As for how to increase farmers' production and let these civil servants who can only recite poems and write poems figure out a way, it would be better to kill them directly.

    But today's court is a little different, because Shangguan Wan'er, who has almost never been to court, is actually standing at the bottom of the hundred officials.

    When Wu Zetian sat on the dragon throne, all the officials saluted and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

    "Everyone, please be safe." Wu Zetian waved his hand: "Is there anything important to do today? If nothing happens, please leave."

    In fact, there are basically no hard and fast rules on what to discuss in the morning. Occasionally, some trivial matters will be brought up to the court.

    So there are always some courtiers who come up with some inexplicable things and talk about it in the court.

    After several groups of courtiers finished speaking, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

    Wu Zetian, who was sitting on the dragon chair, felt a little bored.

    It’s not just today, it feels like this every day.

    "But there are still important things to report?"

    Just when all the ministers thought that today's morning court was over, Di Renjie, who always cherished words like gold in the court hall, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

    "Oh, Di Renjie, what do you want to say?" Wu Zetian asked lightly.

    "I want to report this to Li Shanshan, the Minister of Rites."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????Everyone immediately became energetic, this is the rhythm of tearing apart.

    Normally, there should be no grudges between Di Renjie and Li Shanshan, the Minister of Rites, but why did Di Renjie want to read Li Shanshan's book on the spot?

    Li Shanshan’s face flushed after his face was filled with astonishment."Di Renjie, what do you mean? Have I offended you?"

    "Yes, Di Renjie, both the government and the public are looking at you, so don't talk nonsense." After Wu Zetian finished speaking, he did not forget to comfort Li Shanshan: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, if Di Renjie is talking nonsense today,  I will make the decision for you.”

    "Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Shanshan hurriedly replied to thank Wu Zetian. Li Shanshan was the Minister of Rites and had a lot of skills. However, he never participated in the political party and was in power. He only wanted to make a fortune quietly, so he could live in peace.  Live till now.

    In fact, Li Shanshan himself was wondering why Di Renjie suddenly fired at him.

    Could it be that Wu Zetian secretly instructed this?

    A trace of vigilance flashed in Li Shanshan's eyes, and all the ministers in the court were also lost in thought.

    What kind of trouble is Di Renjie trying to make? What is his intention in attacking Li Shanshan so openly?

    There are two types of performers in the court. One is the admonishers. Their mission is to perform for the sake of participation. Even Wu Zetian is on their list of contributors, but their  They are all insignificant.

    ?????????????????? Sometimes it’s overt and covert praise, for example, a certain official does not care about his body, works diligently on government affairs, exhausts his body, and delays government affairs.

    They are the court officials who have the least sense of presence, and they are also the courtiers who can find the most sense of presence.

    Another method is for officials from one political party to participate in the performance of officials from another political party.

    This is the most dangerous signal, just like the prelude to a war.  (To be continued.)
