Chapter 9 Spring Returns Like Crossing Wings (3)

I was curious and asked by the way.

"Mother, this is the thing. Xi Chong came to the Dongdu to work. He originally planned to write a letter. Because the price of grain is a bit expensive, he temporarily did not pay grain in each warehouse to stabilize the price of grain. However, he was blocked by Di Lang. Di Lang was afraid that the Eastern Turks would rebel, and the imperial court used troops to urgently adjust the grain, and the price of grain was even higher. And because the son minister was about to ascend the throne, Xi Chong was stranded in the Dongdu."

"I have also heard of it, but what does this have to do with these two people?" These big granaries were set up to stabilize the price of grain, low intake and high intake, not to make money, but mainly to avoid the balance between disasters and war. As for profit, there are very few. No matter how you balance it, the loss over a few years will definitely be less intake and more out.

But her son suddenly became strong and asked to prepare food immediately. She didn't understand military affairs. Since her son was like this, she didn't dare to bear the consequences. Pei Yan dared to reject it, but also handed the situation to Shangyang Palace. She had just read Pei Yan's memorial.

"My mother, please listen to my son's words slowly. Because of the stagnation, Xi Chong went to a wine shop to eat wine. He accidentally heard the two people commenting on the affairs that the son's minister said when he ascended the throne. Some were right and some were wrong. But in the end, one was a junior official and the other was a civilian. They could say that they had some ability. So he joined the jiā talk, asked them to write a memorial, and asked Dilang to bring it to my son's minister. My son called them to the East Palace for a discussion and talked about it. Although there were many circumspects, I saw that they seemed to be a talent, at least higher than an official in the court, so he gave them two positions to observe the last. My mother, I wonder if my son's minister did something wrong?"

"It's not wrong, but the emperor is the emperor, and you need to be polite. Since you can't do it, you must be a pillar of your own. For example, Zhang Jianzhi was transferred to the supervisory censor, and Xu Yougong was just a civilian. He was reused. He moved too much."

"Yes, or I will re-wrote a book."

"No, it's the emperor. You have no jokes. The book has been prepared. This time you can make an exception."

"Thank you, my mother."

"Okay, go back and do your business."

Li Wei bowed and said goodbye, and Li Shoucheng whispered: "Empress Dowager, why didn't you just now?"

This time, when he called Li Wei to enter the palace, Wu Zetian had another intention. Li Wei asked Pei Yan to draft a book on Hu's policy, which was difficult to do so, which could affect Pei Yan's reputation. Wu Zetian wanted to adjust it.

Wu Zetian shook her head and said, "I have just been twice. With Honger's wisdom, I already understand it, but he doesn't say a word. Even if I come out, I will make myself bored."

"His Majesty……"

"Don't let Hong'er be fine. He is still considering the big situation, not like my unfilial second son. I can't even force him to get tight. Pei Yan is not a good person."

"Pei Xianggong is very loyal to the two emperors."

"Li Shoucheng, that's wrong. The reason I helped me was that I saw that I still have some abilities and good health, so I wanted to join me. I could keep him safe in the past few decades. Although Honger also holds grudges, he will not blame him and will not vent his children. What if he can succeed?"

"I don't understand, what exactly does this Pei Yan want to do?"

"It's very simple. The Supreme Emperor is not in good health. If something happens, the military power is still in my hands. However, I am just a woman and I have to rely on him. Then he is very likely to become a real powerful minister in the court, covering the sky with one hand. But no matter him, Honger also sees some, so he dare not use it. In fact, this kind of person is the best, not afraid of greed, but fear of no shortcomings. Since I want to be a powerful minister, this level is regarded as a test for him."

Thinking of this, Wu Zetian thought of two more people. There was originally one from Li Yiyan, but now she couldn't add another Pei Xingjian. As long as her son was concerned about the situation, including him immediately reorganized half of the guards brought from Qinghai and headed to the Western Regions, it would be easy, but she was afraid that some officials would instigate him in the middle. So she said, "I'm sure to see you when I go to the process."

"Here."

The son may not be like himself in the way of winning people's hearts, but he always possesses great power. When he heard his son call Pei Xingjian and Cheng Wuying to the East Palace for a remark, Wu Zetian was very worried that this Cheng Wuying was still useful in her hands.

Cheng Wuing brought it in, and Wu Zetian asked, "General Cheng, your Majesty invited him to the East Palace in the morning?"

"Yes, but I am loyal to the two lords."

"It's not easy to restrain myself, but I heard something and didn't understand it, so I shouted to ask."

"Your Majesty has something to do," Cheng Wuing carefully passed the matter. At this time, Cheng Wuing no longer had the honest attitude of talking to Pei Xingjian, and was like a well-behaved minister.

"Military school?" Wu Zetian murmured.

She doesn't understand military affairs, but she knows the big situation very well. Doing so can't be to cultivate generals and talents for the country, and can set up many military generals. Not every military general can be used as a general or a prime minister, just like Li Jinxing of Qinghai is already old or in the future, they are destined to be unable to assume important civil servants like Liu Rengui. It is a pity to put them in the court to support them. These people are too idle, so they find something for them to do, but they are very careless.

Why didn't you think about it?

"General Cheng, retreat first. But remember one thing: Pei Lang and Xianggong Pei have never been very harmonious. They want to learn more military knowledge from Pei Lang. From now on, take the initiative to reduce contact with Xianggong Pei." "Here."

"Let's retreat, I hope to achieve success like Black Tooth Changzhi."

"Thank you, the Queen Mother."

But Wu Zetian sat on the chair and thought for a while, threw down the matter in his hand, and came to Li Zhi and said, "Your Majesty, I have something I want to report."

"Look," Li Zhi also heard a little about what happened in the court. However, his condition had not recovered and he was too lazy to ask about it. Besides, his son seemed to be content and never cared about it.

Wu Zetian said: "Your Majesty, the country has not had an imperial examination for several years."

"Issuing an edict, and I will re-examination next year."

"It's not just the imperial examination, but I also thought of one thing. In recent years, the country has been in great importance to the generals. For example, if something happens in the north, who will His Majesty send to be the general?"

The generals of Qinghai each have their own duties and are not very easy to transfer. That's it, Li Jinxing is better, and Xue Rengui is truly old. Pei Xingjian went to the Western Regions and didn't know when he would return. It seemed that there was no reliable general to be requisitioned. It didn't matter before, after Li Jingxuan's defeat, Li Zhi also realized that not every minister could be used as the commander of the three armies.

"The queen means..." Until now, Li Zhi still calls Wu Zetian the queen, and he also knows that he is a little unwilling to accept it.

"I have an idea. The court can set up a military supervisor and set up a military tribute to recruit some martial arts students during the imperial examination."

"Military Affairs Supervisor, Martial Arts?"

Wu Zetian came up with his own ideas.

"Will this be controversial?"
