Three hundred and ninetieth chapters recalling the past is difficult to sleep soundly (3)
Chapter 393: Recalling the hard time (3)
I made a funny joke yesterday and was about to open the second update. I felt uncomfortable. I poured my head on the bed, covered my head and burned it for more than ten hours. I sweated a little better, but my head still hurts. Until now, I definitely have no manuscripts on my hand, so I forgive me for the update yesterday.
======================
"How is the movement outside?" Wu Zetian asked.
"There are already some discussions in the world, but the prime ministers did not attack. King Yong was good at supervising the country," Li Shoucheng said carefully.
This is far from Wu Zetian's original expectation.
After thinking about it, Wu Zetian suddenly understood. There was a rumor in the market that it was natural. Lun Qinling sent someone to pull the eunuch to shout in front of the formation every day. The generals and soldiers from various passes of Qinghai were angry and used the Fuyuan Crossbow and **, but under the protection of the Tubo people, they did not succeed. After shouting a few times, Qinghai had a lot of discussion.
There are not many people who can believe it, and it is not surprising that it is sent back to Chang'an now.
As for the prime ministers, Hao Chujun, Li Yiyan, Zhang Wenguan and Liu Rengui are the eldest sons, or only the eldest son can make them feel disappointed. They are not very supportive of other candidates, but the eldest son's life and death are not clear, so no matter what candidate the husband proposes, they will only remain silent.
Pei Yan said to Jiang Bier in a rare way. With his deep cunning, he has already given him a reward for him. Before the critical moment, will Pei Yan take action?
The Cui brothers want to support the third son. Now the power of the third son is still very weak, so there is no need to raise a banner immediately to be an enemy of the Yongwang Party. Xue Yuanchao turned out to be the second son, and he couldn't ignore his face. However, Wang Dezhen, but his power is still small. Besides, the second son and Zhang Da'an and other ministers supported him.
"Don't be anxious," said Wu Zetian.
My husband's health has to be able to withstand several years, and at this time, my husband still wants to support this unfilial son.
If I had the same idea, my health was getting worse and worse, but the empire always had an heir. The eldest son was good, but his life was very vague. The third son was too poor and he would not let the third son inherit the foundation of the empire. As for the fourth son because he was too young, he didn't have to consider it.
But isn't that the case?
The so-called state supervision does not really allow you to review various memorials on behalf of the emperor, but to study and review various unimportant affairs with the help of each prime minister, and then observe and study. The real big thing is to negotiate and resolve it in each prime minister's political affairs hall. If the government affairs hall cannot solve it, it will be reported to the emperor and the queen.
Li Xian is not bad, otherwise Li Zhi would not tolerate him for such rebellious behavior. In the past, the elder brother was supervising the country several times and complimenting it, but he could still learn it. But what if the hands grow longer? Hao Chujun and the others can tolerate it, but the prime minister, at this point, how many are there that are bad? I really don’t doubt it? I am really happy? As long as my hands grow longer, new and old hatreds will surge together.
Thinking of this, she said, "Li Shoucheng, please spread a rumor in the palace for me, that is, this unfilial son was born to the Korean lady."
"This is impossible."
At that time, Wu Zetian was already in the inner palace when she was born in Li Xian. Just now, Li Zhi was still waiting for childbirth. Besides, Wu Zetian's sister, Mrs. Han, was favored by Wu Zetian, and after Wu Zetian became the queen, she was able to enter and exit the inner palace freely and was favored by Li Zhi.
"What does it mean to be impossible? I ask you, how many people know the truth about Honger being encountered?"
"yes."
"Besides, how could this rebellious son have been in this palace?"
"yes."
In fact, there is another better idea, directly threatening that Li Xian is not Li Zhi's son. At that time, he was outside the palace. He threatened that it would be even more unfair to the status of this unfilial son. But that would be unfair to himself. He would hurt one thousand enemies and eight hundred of them. Wu Zetian did not like this.
Li Shoucheng suddenly understood and said, "Queen, I understand."
"You have followed me for many years, but I don't understand this. I will be very disappointed."
"Yes, it's better to be the crown prince." Li Shoucheng sighed. The crown prince also fought for it. It's impossible not to fight. The palace was originally a big killing field. If it was too soft, it would be killed sooner or later. But there was a sense of fighting, whether it was a bad intention or a filial pie to his mother, but the respect in his eyes was true. This King Yong Li Xian did too much.
"Go, don't rush this matter for a while. You must do it more concealedly and don't let others know."
"Here."
...
Dai Zhide and Li Jingxuan and the others returned to Chang'an.
Hao Chujun, Liu Rengui, Zhang Wenguan and Li Yiyan came over and asked Dai Zhide.
These people have been in contact for a long time. Except for Li Yiyan, the others served as prime ministers for many years and are considered competent. But they are different from the times. The political situation has been calm for several years and turmoil began. The first turmoil was caused by the destruction of the queen. The orders of important officials in the court were changed every day. The second time was after Shangguan Yi was dismissed. In fact, it was because of Li Zhi's support to maintain the balance of the court.
The queen was too powerful, and she wanted a group of ministers who were rejecting her wife to serve as prime ministers in the court and assisted her son in stabilizing the regime. She did a good job in the first few years, but almost made Wu Zetian disappear. As a result, the prince became more and more capable, and the emperor's mentality became more and more like the queen.
I understand, but I object very much.
Because of the prince's various actions, they were deeply moved.
I didn't know, but now I feel sorry.
As for Li Xian, Li Xian, or others, I really don’t care about it. I am used to eating big fish and meat every day, and then eating thick bran and dried radish, I can’t see any clean oil. Of course, if I’m so hungry, I can take care of my fill, which is really easy to swallow?
Dai Zhide told Qinghai all the things that happened, but he did not dare to tell the truth about Zhang Guidong.
Then he asked, "How is the court? I heard a lot of rumors along the way."
Hao Chujun shook his head sadly and said, "The court is in chaos. It is divided into several parties. King Yong has the most powerful force. Nearly half of the ministers turned against him and attached him to King Yong."
Dai Zhide remained silent, and Li Jingxuan's words were somewhat reasonable. The prince's life and death were left to fate. Once he came back alive, everything would be like snow and encountered the June sun, which melted immediately. Once he did not come back, he really had to think about the future of the country. If he fell into the hands of King Yong, he might not be able to make things right. If he fell into the hands of the queen, the country would be truly in turmoil.
But I don’t know the truth. If I know, I feel very uncomfortable.
But the other ministers did not know that the prince was trapped in hundreds of thousands of Tubo army and was still behind the enemy, and his fate could be imagined. If he did not defect to King Yong at this time, who would he defect to? But the queen would be so willing and asked, "What else?"
"There are also the new prime minister Cui Zhiwen and the Minister of Works Cui Zhiti who suddenly came up with a unique idea and supported the King of Zhou. Cui Zhiti also married his granddaughter to the King of Zhou at a date."
"King of Zhou," Dai Zhide tried hard to recall Li Xian's actions, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Not only that, when Pei Yan held a birthday banquet for the emperor's grandson, he suddenly praised the emperor's grandson in a high-profile manner, as if he wanted to help the emperor's grandson."
"The prince's son is not right." Dai Zhide said. How old is the prince's son? How many years will it take for him to grow up? How many years will the emperor's body be able to be held until then? At that time, the power will inevitably fall into the hands of the queen.
Liu Rengui suddenly interrupted and said, "What's wrong? Don't think I don't know. Zhang Guidong is also related to King Yong! How did the prince treat this King Yong back then? If the prince hadn't been reincarnated, King Yong would have been exiled to the court long ago. I would rather support the King of Zhou or the crown prince than support this ungrateful villain!"
Zhang Wenguan, Li Yiyan, Hao Chujun and others just sighed heavily. Until now, they have not yet thought about it. If they join the Yongwang Party, Yongwang will definitely be very happy. These people can be said to be the mainstay in the court and have a great say in their voice. But several people are also reluctant.
Dai Zhide thought of what Li Jingxuan said, and then Li Xian did everything, and sighed: "I don't know either."
But at this moment, Wu Zetian's role was neglected. Li Xian's power seems to be very big now, but isn't it very big?
...
The court began to discuss the punishment of Li Jingxuan.
Li Jingxuan stayed in the door and his family was shocked three times a day, but Li Jingxuan was not afraid. First, Xue Rengui was wiped out and was exiled and did not execute him. Second, the officials he had assigned were spread all over the court, and there would be many people talking for him. Third, he blocked an arrow for the emperor.
But I was ashamed and had the idea of resigning. But at this time, the court would not be able to accept it.
On New Year's Eve, all civil and military officials were called to the Ming Palace to stay up to the New Year.
The banquet was set up, and Dai Zhide looked at it. In addition to the officials, there were concubines in the harem, several concubines of the prince, and a royal disciple, including Li Xian, Li Xian, and Li Xulun. Of course, the concubines and several concubines set up seats to be separated from the officials.
Everyone arrived, and Li Zhi and Wu Zetian arrived late. After giving the salute, Li Zhi said with illness: "Everyone is calm."
We let everyone sit down, but we have not yet come out of the blow, and we have basically recovered, but we are not very energetic. The memorials submitted by the three provinces rarely ask about them, and they are all handed over to Wu Zetian for review.
The ministers sat down, and Li Zhi whispered to Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian said, "Dear friends, the New Year is coming soon, so I'll tell you good news."
Then he waved his hand and a eunuch opened the memorial, which was written by Li Wei and the memorial written by Pei Xingjian.
Li Weixin was very simple. Some things were impossible to say. He only said that the situation forced me to retreat, but I would be safe and safe. I would escape from danger in a few months. As for how to retreat and where to retreat, I didn’t say it. Another sentence: My son made a mistake, and even the three armies were defeated on the west bank of the Yellow River. My son was imprisoned, which made my father, mother and queen worried and died of crime.
No fault was put on anyone.
Dai Zhide sighed and said, "It's better for the prince." Compared with the prince, Li Jingxuan, Guo Wai-chan, or the prince Li Xian, are far behind.
Then there was Pei Xingjian's memorial, which probably wrote about what he heard from the withdrawn soldiers, how to rescue him and how he was besieged. Even Lun Qinling was moved by him and toasted the prince in front of the three armies, and then how he escaped to the northern foot of Jishi Mountain. The prince did not come back, and Pei Xingjian also wrote it, but did not write about the bribery effect on the morale of the army and the people. He just wrote: Before the three armies fought, the general was discouraged first, so Li Jingxuan was defeated. If Your Highness escaped alone, our army would fight in the future, and we would all use the example. The generals were not in the army, and the generals were not in the commander. Although I was crying, I thought Your Highness should do this.
I took this matter very casually because I was afraid that Li Zhi would still have random thoughts at this time and that such a big thing would be done.
It was written again that the Qinghai army was being mobilized, and even asked the rescue of the Songzhou Governor Wu Juji to cooperate with the army, forcibly restraining the Tubo army, and extorting a gap to get the prince out of trouble.
This letter does not mean that the prince is safe and sound, but that he is still alive.
Wu Zetian raised her wine glass and said, "I only received this memorial yesterday. Thinking of my son's past, I didn't fall asleep all night. No matter what, I feel honored for my son. I wish my son a goodbye to come back soon."
After saying that, I poured wine on the sky and the earth, and I respected my ministers again.
After drinking a glass of wine, Wu Zetian suddenly looked at the last seat and said, "Ming Chongyan, you are good at witchcraft. Come on, come on, make a spell for the prince to pray for the prince's safety."
There were not many people who knew that Ming Chongyan was turning to Wu Zetian, and when he heard this, the audience was silent. Li Xian's face immediately turned pale, and even Ming Chongyan was bribed by his mother. So who can I guarantee that the ministers of his own sect are loyal?
Ming Chongyan didn't regret it either. He borrowed King Yong to take a kick, and how much money did he give him? It's worth it.
He walked over and hid on the ground, and said piously: "Do you dare not follow the order of the queen?"
Immediately perform "witchcraft" in front of everyone.
After the performance, Li Xian came over again and said, "Father, Queen, Queen, do you have any questions to ask?"
"Xian'er, you ask."
