Chapter 94: The Dragon and Tiger Fight in the Early Dynasty(1/2)
Chapter 94: Morning battle between dragons and tigers
Li Xian started to love the country but not the beauty, but he always felt in distress. When he heard that Wei was hanging himself, he was very worried and rushed over immediately.
But I saw Wei lying on the bed, wrapped in a silk quilt, with his eyes closed tightly, and tears hanging on the corners of his eyes.
He immediately said, "Queen, I am for the country, why can't you think it through?"
Wei turned his head and refused to answer.
But this twisting action was not concealed. Although it quickly twisted over, when twisting, Li Xian saw that her neck was white and clean, and there was no trace of a rope. He suddenly understood in his heart that he could hang himself, but his wife could not.
This is crying, making a fuss, and hanging yourself, forcing yourself.
His face also tensed up and asked the eunuch in the company: "What's going on?"
The eunuch replied carefully: "Your Majesty, I looked wrong when I saw the queen come back just now, and then the queen closed the door. I didn't respond if I knocked on the door, so I forced the door to open it. Seeing that the queen was about to hang herself, she was lucky enough to save her."
These dog slaves also colluded to deceive me. But Li Xian held back, and it was not the time for an attack.
So he scolded them and made these eunuchs and palace maids Wei optimistic. If there were any further problems, the whole family would be executed and left after saying that.
He pissed Wei to death.
The first move was useless, so the second move was taken, and a hunger strike was on.
Li Xian came to visit him again, but Wei ignored him. Li Xian thought for a while and said that this was not a solution. So he found Li Dan again and told him the matter. This was his wife forcibly confronting him.
When Li Dan heard this, he said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. This means that the queen is afraid."
"Fear?"
"Yes, why did the queen get the support of these ministers? This is what your Majesty gave you. Now you take back the rights for the sake of the country. The queen is afraid and anxious. First, it was Yan Qinrong, now it was Zhang Shuo, but Zhang Shuo is the Minister of Personnel and a senior official in the court. She cannot kill Zhang Shuo casually. Then she has to force you to demote Zhang Shuo or exile him, and suppress this righteousness."
"So that's the case, what should I do?"
"I will tell you a clever plan," Li Dan said a solution. Now that he does this, it will inevitably make Wei hold a grudge, but he has to do so. If Zhang Shuo is suppressed, wait for Wang Hua to really rebel.
After telling the plan, Li Xian said it again and again. Just as he was about to leave, Li Dan kept him again and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, there is one more thing to pay attention to."
After talking about some arrangements, Li Xian returned to the palace and went to visit Wei.
The sound of the waves was still the same, but Li Xian looked at her face without any powder, but she was pretty pretty, her face was red and plain, and she was still red and pale now, with a layer of fat on her face. Li Xian was very suspicious that she was really on a hunger strike. But his face suddenly changed and he looked at the eunuchs and said, "How did you serve the queen? Come on, drag them out and fight twenty more whispers. If the queen doesn't eat tomorrow, continue to fight."
These eunuchs are all confidants of Wei. When he heard Li Xian's order, Wei turned his head and said, "Your Majesty, what else do you want?"
"Queen, these dog slaves should fight if they don't serve you well."
The eunuch beside Li Xian hesitated for a while, and when he saw that the emperor was really angry, he had to pull the three or four eunuchs out.
"Stop," Wei shouted in a sharp voice, then looked at Li Xian with a resentful voice and said, "Look at the master when you beat the dog, Master, why are you doing me a slander?"
He started crying as he said that.
It turns out that all three moves were used.
Li Xian just said nothing. After a while, he saw that Wei stopped crying, and said some high-sounding words again and left immediately.
The next day, the morning court began.
Li Xian was sitting on the dragon throne, and the ministers below had a very complicated expression.
Not only for Wang Hua's affairs, since he heard Zong Chuke's release back, as Zhu Tong thought, since Wang Hua's number one enemy could be released, he should be able to ensure safety. This is the truth. What friends and enemies in the officialdom are like him and the Wang family in Taiyuan, who were at first a life-and-death enemy, but now they have become the best ally.
This hungry heart was relieved, and gradually under the power of the Blood Camp, many people wanted to negotiate peace. Bijian's wealth also came from this peaceful country. When the country was really broken, they might not have a good life.
But a few people are still very clear-headed and know that things are not as simple as they think. If Xueying gets breathing back, he will become stronger and have more say at that time, what if Wang Hua turns against each other again?
But all the ministers were worried about another thing.
That is the list. If Li Xian reuses ministers according to this list, at least twenty ministers will make strong mobilizations. It will be a serious purge to the court.
They looked at Li Xian one by one, guessing his thoughts.
Li Xian was not in a hurry and said, "Report early if you have something to do, and leave the court if you have nothing to do."
Zong Chuke has not come back yet, so it is not time to arrange it yet.
Ji Chune walked out and bowed down and said, "I have a comment."
"Rhyme."
"I heard that the Queen and Your Majesty have clashed with each other recently. It has been dirty for several days. The Queen has not yet grown a grain of rice and has not yet dripped water. There are many discussions in the palace. Now there is a lot of trouble. If it is spread out, I am afraid that the people will be even more frightened and uneasy. Cultivate yourself, manage your family, govern the country, and pacify the world. I advise Your Majesty to take the initiative to rebuild the harmony between the zither and the Queen, which is the blessing of the country and the people."
Li Xianzhen made him angry and said angrily: "This is my harem, what do you do?"
"Your Majesty's affairs are state affairs, and the affairs of the harem are even more state affairs. Why don't you have anything to do with your ministers?"
If we put aside his history, we really think he is a loyal minister who is speaking out.
But many ministers are qualified to say this, but Ji Chune is not qualified to say this. Li Xian said angrily: "Ji Chune, if you are so loyal, you will not participate in the treasure pattern. Please do your duty."
Li Xian had no words yet, and a large group of ministers came down and made suggestions, asking Li Xian not to have any disputes with Wei anymore, and everyone gave in to each other, the harem and the world was peaceful.
Li Xian was so angry that it was because the palace was not safe. This was clearly a forced palace.
He looked at the ministers who didn't say anything with help, but there were still some, but less than half of them. This made him even more heartbroken.
Some of these ministers wanted to speak justice, but they didn't dare to say anything when they saw this battlefield. Moreover, these people were not very interested in making trouble in the harem, and when they intervened, it was equivalent to fighting against Wei directly. The emperor had some signs of improvement in the past few days, but God knows how many days he could keep it?
So half of the ministers forced the palace and half were silent.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Shu sighed. He had offended Wei and Zhu Wei anyway. If these ministers succeeded this time, the court would become worse and worse. So he stood up and said, "I have a word."
Li Xian said happily: "Zhang Qing, please tell me."
"I don't know if Your Majesty has a dispute with the queen in the harem, but I don't understand that the ministers are not allowed to associate with the harem. Why do so many ministers know about what happened in the harem?"
When the ministers asked, the ministers stopped and chattered, their faces red with shame.
In fact, there are really not many ministers who know the truth, and Zhang Shuo doesn’t know either. Most of them are obedient and flattering Wei’s.
But it would be better if Xiao Zhizhong said this, but the root of the problem lies in Zhang Shuo. It is fake to force Li Xian to work together to deal with Zhang Shuo.
After Zhang Shuo finished speaking, Wei Wen said later: "Your Majesty, I have a report and I learned the evidence that Zhang Shuo colluded with the thief."
As he said that, he took out a note from his sleeve, handed it to the eunuch, and handed it to Li Xian.
He took out the front and many ministers behind him took out the notes. This was discussed in advance, and he cooperated with Wei to beat Zhang Shuo down.
Li Xian's face became even colder when he looked at these notes. If he hadn't discussed with Li Dan yesterday, today's scene would have shocked himself. He didn't speak with a gloomy face, but he was very calm in his heart.
While these ministers were holding a meeting of 10,000 people and refuting Zhang's words, Li Guer broke into the hall. She looked at these ministers and said, "What are you ministers doing? I'm turning black and white, and I really want to turn my lonely father into Hu Hai?"
After saying that, he came to Ji Chune and looked at Ji Chune and said coldly: "What's the matter with me, my father? Should I tell you about your ugly appearance in Qinzhou? A pig dares to discuss the emperor and the queen. Is this world really going to change?"
"Your Majesty, this is the court. The princess should not break in. I impeach the princess and insult me."
"What has insulted you? You are not as good as a pig in Qinzhou. How many people here don't know? Are you dissatisfied? Do you want to tell me about your ugly behavior in Qinzhou? Just because of your pig, you also want to learn from Zhao Gao and refer to a deer as a horse. Father, I don't know why you are still sitting on this dragon throne. If you have such a minister, why don't you send someone to drag him down and behead him?"
"Your Highness, don't make a fuss. You are a woman, and you break into the court and insult the ministers. What kind of morality is it?" Wei Juyuan said in a solemn voice.
"Oh, it turns out it's the second Wei Gong. No wonder this pig has the courage to support him. Then the second Wei Gong, do you want to be Zhao Gao?"
"Your Majesty, Princess, do you still care?" Wei Wen said anxiously. If Li Guer continues to mess around like this, the matter of rebelling Zhang today will definitely be ruined.
Li Xian snorted and said, "Is the princess wrong? Why do I feel that I am not as good as Zhao Gao when I was."
Speaking of this, he picked up the jade seal in his hand and started crying. He said while crying: "I am ashamed. I have paid my salary and given official positions, but I have raised a group of ruthless ministers. How can I face the ancestors and ancestors under the sacred springs?"
This is Li Dan's idea.
Wei did not force Li Xian to fall down in the palace, and he might force Li Xian to go back to the morning court. If Zhang Shuo is not defeated, his righteousness will rise immediately, not that a straight minister in the court does not have. This is what Wei and her confidant ministers do not want to see.
But now Li Xian is weak and can only call Li Guer to go to the court to mess around, and then play the tragic card to give some wait-and-see ministers courage and blood.
But Li Dan didn't say anything, why was Li Guer? There was a reason, not her princess identity, Wei had only two daughters. Since Wei was ambitious, he also had basic conditions. At that time, Wu Zetian promoted Li Yifu and others to control the power of the court. Now Wei also controlled many important officials, but she had a fatal weakness, that is, she did not look like Lao Wu, with four sons. She had no son, and she had no son, and she had only one daughter to be the princess.
Princess Changning is not good, her reputation is too excessive and her qualifications are too poor. Only Li Guer is suitable for this condition. She is not afraid that Li Guer will disagree. If she reaches that point, Wei will use some good words, plus the temptation of imperial power, and through some means, Li Guer will most likely agree.
Although Li Guer was having trouble with Wei and allowed Wei to control his freedom, he has always been very spoiled by Li Guer.
Therefore, Wei and his confidants dare not offend Li Guer too much.
But what would Wei do? Continue to force the palace? No. As long as Li Xian is alive for one day, he will be the real emperor for one day. So the biggest trump card of this battle is still in the hands of Li Xian.
Li Dan said the next sentence, but looking at Li Xian's departure, Li Dan said to himself: "Third brother, I'm not pushing you into the fire pit. It's mainly for this country and the country, and for the foundation left by my ancestors, I have to do this."
Unfortunately, Li Xian didn't hear the next sentence, so he immediately found Li Guer.
Li Guer became anxious when he heard this. Zhang said he would not care about life and death. If Zhang said he would suffer a bad ending and the peace talks failed, Wang Hua and the Tang Dynasty would truly go to an opposing side. So he agreed without saying a word.
So the dramatic change of the morning court happened, but it suddenly covered Wei Wen and the others. And as Li Dan said, when he heard Li Xian's crying, he started crying dryly, but later he thought about the sadness in his heart, and he really cried.
Xiao Zhizhong and others bowed down together, touched the ground with their heads, and said, "Your Majesty, don't be sad. The government is so deteriorating. I am guilty. If you want to blame me, I will blame me."
Although there are few people in this group, people are afraid of ghosts and ghosts are afraid of people, so they are not wary of them. Ji Chune and others dare not say anything, but just ask each other with their eyes. But taking the eyes so easy to use? And another accident happened.
Li Guer didn't know much about these situations, but saw that her father was an emperor, and was forced to cry in the morning court by these villains. So she came to the door of the hall, pulled out a guard with a knife, rushed back to the hall, and rushed to Ji Chune, and wanted to cut Ji Chune, and picked up the knife and chopped it.
This time I didn’t hit Zong Chuke’s head with a jade seal last time. This knife can really kill people.
Ji Chune got up in panic and fled not far away and hid behind Wei Wen.
But Li Guer didn't give face and raised his knife to even chop Wei Wen. Zhang Renyuan was right next to him and made trouble. Anyway, the court is not the court now. On the contrary, Li Guer made a big fuss in the court these two times. Although Li Guer lost the court etiquette, it was very satisfying. But he also had to be sensible. If Wei Wen was really cut to death, then things would be a big deal.
