Chapter twenty seven
When facing Princess Taiping's inquiry, Cui Xi was the first to reply.
Cui Shi was born in the Choi family of Boling. The so-called "Cui, Lu, Li, Zheng, and Wang" family, Cui Liedi, Cui Shi was a pride of heaven who was born in this wealthy family in the world. He was a rare handsome man, and he was praised by the world. However, he was also famous for his political integrity. His political integrity was not as good as a brothel woman in the eyes of the world: Cui Shi was originally a senior official. At that time, Wu Zetian was forced to abdicate and returned to Li Tang. As a great hero, Huan Yan and Fan were powerful in the court and the country, Cui Shi became a disciple of Huan Yanfan. Huan Yanfan was not worried about the Wusansi school.
Cui Shi went to Wu Sansi's command to be an undercover agent and asked him to secretly find out the news. Seeing that Wu Sansi was becoming more and more favored, Cui Shi betrayed Huan Yanfan and attached himself to Wu Sansi. Later, Zhaorong Shangguan Wan'er devoted himself to internal affairs, and Cui Shi defected to Shangguan Wan'er. He had a close relationship with Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Anle. When Li Longji took a coup, he turned to Li Dan. Now he has become Princess Taiping's confidant Cui Shi has been rebellious and rebellious in his short political career for more than ten years. However, he has a vicious vision and can seek the greatest benefit for himself every time he surrenders, thus becoming the ranks of prime ministers.
"Now today, peace is mostly irrelevant trivial matters and is not worth laughing at. Only things are worth talking about. Xue Na, the chief governor of Youzhou, submitted a memorial to send troops to retake Liaodong in western and eastern Liaoning, hoping to get permission. I wonder what your highness thinks?"
Princess Taiping's eyes fell on Xiao Zhizhong.
Xiao Zhizhong was also from a famous family and belonged to the Xiao family of Lanling. He was also very talented. He was a contradictory person, sometimes upright and unafraid of power. He impeached Prime Minister Su Wei to be corrupt, sometimes he did villain affairs, and was dependent on King Wu of Liang Sansi. Sometimes he sticks to his duties, is respected by the people of the time, and sometimes he is dependent on Wei. He married his daughter to Empress Wei's cousin, and even married Empress Wei's younger brother for his dead daughter. But his talent is beyond doubt. Even Song Jing, one of the four great wise ministers of the Tang Dynasty, sighed that Xiao Zhizhong regretted joining others. Even if Xiao Zhizhong was executed later, Li Longji missed Xiao Zhizhong's strategy. When he appointed Yuan Qianyao as prime minister, he said to Gao Lishi: "I know why I promoted Yuan Qianyao? Because I think he looks like Xiao Zhizhong."
Xiao Zhizhong is currently considered the counselor under Princess Taiping.
Xiao Zhizhong said: "Your Majesty is planning to use the power of foreign war to increase his reputation. I expected this matter. Your Majesty had already had secret contacts with the Grand Governor, otherwise the Grand Governor would not have made military suggestions at this time." He saw through Li Longji's intentions.
Cui Shi respectfully presented Xue Ne's memorial to Princess Taiping with both hands.
Princess Taiping opened the memorial without any scruples and nodded: "What the Grand Commander said is reasonable. If Liaodong and Liaoxi are not recaptured every day, the Andong Protectorate will not be stable every day, and Silla is also eyeing it, so we have to guard against it." Li Wuyi was executed in the name of the Xi clan and the Khitan traitor, but these are all Silla's conspiracy. Princess Taiping has already known from Xue Ne's memorial.
Cui Xi said in a somewhat disbelief: "What does your highness mean to agree?"
Princess Taiping asked back, "Why not? There are not many famous generals who can make a move in the Tang Dynasty. If Xue Na cannot do it, no one can do it at present. This is beneficial to my Tang Dynasty and not harmful to me, why refuse?"
Cui Shi frowned and said, "Will Wan Xue Ne win win, will it help His Majesty's reputation?"
"So what to do?" Princess Taiping asked again. She stood up and walked to the door of the hall, stopped and said lightly: "The emperor has decided to depose the new emperor and establish a new crown prince. Let the nephew of my palace do something that is beneficial to my Tang Dynasty in the end." After that, she left gracefully, leaving Xiao Zhizhong and Cui Xi with shocked faces.
Two amazing figures, at this moment, all they have in their eyes are endless shock: the Supreme Emperor wants to abolish the new emperor and establish a new prince
How did Princess Taiping do it?
Looking at the disappeared back, Xiao Zhizhong and Cui Shi's eyes were filled with admiration, but also a little bit of fear: it was so powerful that it was terrifying.
Princess Taiping and Li Longji's aunt and nephew fought. Princess Taiping directly beat Li Longji, but once Princess Taiping encountered the biggest crisis. In the first year of Yanhe, she intended to depose the prince Li Longji and established another, causing others to spread rumors that Li Longji had the idea of rebellion. When Li Dan heard about this, not only did not deposed Li Longji because Li Longji threatened her, but instead abdicated and passed the throne to Li Longji.
Li Longji's identity changed from prince to emperor. Just when everyone thought the overall situation was decided, no one expected that Princess Taiping would turn the tide and directly told the Supreme Emperor Li Dan to undermine Li Longji and seek victory in a dangerous situation.
Now she actually told Li Dan to depose Li Longji!
Xiao Zhizhong, Cui Shi, as Princess Taiping's most trusted adviser, has a feeling that he is dispensable at this moment.
Princess Taiping didn't need them at all, so she did something that they could not do with all their efforts.
The victory smile appeared on Princess Taiping's face, as beautiful as a poppy.
"Your Highness, Princess Yuzhen is here!"
A cute face appeared in Princess Taiping's mind and said with a smile: "Hurry up, invite her in! Wait, I'll pick her up in person!"
The direct bloodline of the Li family made her mother Wu Zetian kill almost the same, leaving only a few of them alone. As for the few remaining relatives, Princess Taiping sincerely cared for her, as long as she did not stand in the path of her power.
"Aunt!" Li Chiying also likes Aunt Taiping who is very good to her, so she ran and plunged into her arms.
Princess Taiping saw the scars on Li Chiying's forehead and said with a heartache: "What's wrong?" Her eyes fell on the maid who came with Li Chiying, and said in a cold voice: "How do you take care of the princess?"
The four maids were so scared that they knelt on the ground.
Li Chiying hurriedly said, "Auntie, don't blame them. I did it by myself accidentally, it has nothing to do with them."
"Why are you so careless?" Princess Taiping blew in pain and asked someone to get the good potion.
Li Chiying said indignantly: "No matter what, Aunt Taiping, I am here to complain. Hui Fan is so hateful, he is simply arguing. He is so hateful. Not only does he arrest innocent people in broad daylight, but he also wants to harm Dr. Liu, who is kind to me. Are you hateful?"
Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Hateful, what do you think you want to deal with him?"
Li Chiying thought for a while and said, "Blow him up, remove him from his official position, punish him for his salary, and throw him into this pool." She pointed with a small hand, which was a large pond in the front yard.
Princess Taiping hooked Li Chiying's nose and said, "Listen to you!" She waved her hand and said, "Call Huifan, first take fifty sticks, throw them into the lake, and let him come up after a while."
Li Chiying suddenly hugged her arms and said, "Will he freeze to death in winter?"
"No, it's not that easy to die!" Princess Taiping hugged Li Chiying and said, "You're helping you with what you want. Should you tell your aunt who asked you to find her?" When she said this, she smiled like a flower.
