Chapter 282
Wang Hua pulled Li Gu'er up and came to the window, but he didn't dare to open the window completely.It is easy to "disappear".He pointed out the window, and outside the window were several old locust trees, with twisted trunks and countless branches and leaves, like a huge canopy. Under the sunlight, the green leaves were like pieces of emeralds, shining green and crystal clear of gloss.

In the distance are large cotton fields, and the breeze blows, setting off blue waves.Wang Hua said, "Zuo'er, do you know why I attach so much importance to it?"

"You have to help my father and king."

"That's the truth, but why did you help your father?"

Li Gu'er thought for a while and said, "Because it can help the common people, and it will give the father a good reputation."

"That's right, it will make many people live a better life. Even without your father, I will do it. Now I just pass this credit to your father. For him to ascend the throne in the future." Dabao, pave a wider avenue. Baoer, I can allow my woman to have tricks, but I will never allow my woman to become a vicious person. So I hope you have a kind heart, not to mention To kill people. Some things are for me to do. Please believe me, I will do it well step by step."

There are three things that Wang Hua hates Li Gu'er the most. Arrogance and arrogance make her lose her eyesight in the future; extravagance, extravagance makes her start to behave mischievously, but this point will not be a big problem immediately. If she wants to spend money, she can find a way by herself After earning money, she doesn't need her to sell the official; in the end, she is vicious, if she gives away those few mustaches, no matter how good the relationship between the two of them is, Wang Hua will not be able to forgive her.Such a woman just stays by her side and even feels dangerous to herself.

Of course, the Anle in history is because Li Longji and Princess Taiping used a magnifying glass to find out all the shortcomings of Empress Li Guer Wei in order to rectify their names, and wrote them.It is also unknown whether Li Gu'er was really poisoned to death, or whether Li Xian was intentionally poisoned to death.

"One more thing, I also want to tell you that King Liang once told me that he can ignore our private affairs, but he needs this marriage. This is his bottom line. In addition to King Liang, there are King Hanoi, Le King Shoujun."

In the Wu Clan, apart from Wu Sansi who raised the banner of the dead Wu Chengsi and became the leading figure, there are also many princes, dukes, and marquises, two of whom are also powerful, one is Hanoi County King Wu Yizong, One is Wu Youji, the king of Leshou County.

Wu Yizong was the child of Wu Yuanzhong, the son of Wu Zetian's uncle Wu Shiyi. The Wu family was all handsome and beautiful, like Wu Yanxiu, and Concubine Wu Hui, whom Li Longji later liked, and so on.But this Wu Yizong is a different kind, with a short stature, a stooped back, and an ugly appearance.The most important thing is that he is cruel by nature and good at framing others, which is despised by the times.

He did two most famous things in his life. In the first year of Shengong (697), the Tang Dynasty took Wu Yizong as the general manager of the march to crusade against Khitan. Khitan heard that he had brought an army of 20 and retreated temporarily, so he appeased Hebei. "There are people who come back after being threatened by the thieves. Yizong thinks they are the same, so he always kills them. He still has his guts and executes them later. Before the blood flows, he speaks and smiles freely." The people of Hebei compared him with the indiscriminate killing of scholars and women in Jizhou. The Khitan pioneer He Axiao also called "Two Hes" and said: "Only these two Hes kill the most people."On the [-]th, Wu Yizong actually played to the emperor, demanding that the people in Hebei who were thieves be "killed by all their families".He not only wanted to kill the people who had been coerced by Khitan and returned, but also killed all their families.Of course, Lao Wu didn't faint to this point, he followed his opinion, but he didn't pursue it, and continued to let him command all the soldiers in the capital.

One more thing, because of Lao Ji's report, Wu Zetian asked him and Lai Junchen to preside over Liu Sili's treason case.As a result, under the planning of Wu Yizong, 36 famous people from all over the country, including Prime Minister Li Yuanyuan, Sun Yuanheng, Tianguan Shilang Shi Baozhong, Liu Qi, etc., were beaten into tricks, and thousands of people were punished or fled.Because of this, the upright Lao Ji was wronged by the history books as a member of the Eighteen Cruel Officials of Wu Zhou.

Only recently did Wang Hua gradually know the truth of this public case, which is not as simple as a history book.The motive of Liu Sili's "rebellion" was that the grand master who "had nothing to do with his life", except for supporting the crown prince to ascend the throne, he could not achieve this goal.Other prime ministers or officials probably also had this motive.Otherwise, without Lao Wu's instruction, it would be impossible to cause such a big case. How many powerful and famous people?I'm afraid even Wu Yizong has to weigh the consequences.

But it was precisely because of this public case that the strength of the Li Dan Group was weakened again.Prince Li Dan also tried his best to promote Luling King Li Xian to restore the status of prince to counteract the attack of Wu Clan Group on him.After the two prime ministers were killed, King Luling was summoned back to Beijing in March. In September, Li Dan resigned from the prince, appointed King Luling as the prince, and gave him the surname Wu. The struggle for the reserve came to an end temporarily.

So when you read history books, you can't read deeply. If you read deeply, it will be ugly.

There is also Wu Youji, that is, Wu Youde in Di Gong's case and Wu Yousi in Daming Palace Ci, the husband of Princess Taiping, and the grandson of Wu Zetian's uncle Warrior Rang.It seems that this man is very useless.In fact, this person, like Li Dan, is an extremely deep person.The method is clever, Lao Wu once named him King Ding, but he refused to accept it, and made Lao Wu angry, and instead demoted him from the king of Anding County to the king of Leshou County.But he has a lot of influence in the Wu family, and he also has a false position as the third division of Kaifu Yitong, but this is the false position of Cong Yipin.Coupled with his deepness, if you underestimate him because of appearance, you may die as badly as possible.

Moreover, seeing that the Wu family had no hope of becoming the throne, they were determined to support Li Xian.The reason for this is very simple, Li Xian has been devolved all the time, and there is very little hatred with the Wu family in the court.But Li Dan is different. He has been a puppet emperor for a while, and he has been a crown prince for a long time.

There is no record in the history books, but Li Xian successfully ascended the throne in the end, and Wu's contribution is indispensable.Moreover, in the fight against Li Dan and Princess Taiping's group, the Wu family also played a powerful role.It's a pity that Li Xian didn't live up to his expectations, instead he was a hindrance to Empress Wei and the Wu family, and finally brought trouble to Xiao Qiang.

That's for the future, if you don't rely on the power of the Wu family right now, think about those capable people in Xiangwang's mansion, Wang Hua won't fight anymore.Acknowledge defeat directly, saving time to be dragged outside the Meridian Gate to be beheaded.

Therefore, you should not look at the watch, but look at the inside, otherwise you will end up like Lao Zhang. After being the king for a few days, this is the reward for being the head of the gun. After the reward is over, you can die as you want.

"I understand, you are asking me to be a kind and good baby. But how does it sound to me? There are a lot of conspiracies and tricks in it." After finishing speaking, Li Gu'er laughed slyly again.

"That's the means."

"what's the difference?"

Wang Hua was speechless when asked, and he slapped her fat buttocks hard and said, "Anyway, if you want to be my woman, you have to listen to me. I will also let you live in happiness for the rest of your life, that's all. I should go back."

It's getting late, if you stay any longer, it will be dusk.Or stay overnight and score three, four?Although many people know about the relationship between the two now, it can't be overdone.

Speaking of which, Wang Hua pushed open the door and said to the maid outside: "Go in and prepare two clothes. I tore His Highness's clothes, so I can't go out."

After speaking, he turned his head and looked inside, Li Bao'er was looking at him annoyed and annoyed.Wang Hua laughed out loud and walked away.

As soon as he left the farm, he saw a carriage. There were two eunuchs Wang Hua standing next to the carriage. He didn't pay attention, but when he came to them, the two eunuchs said: "The emperor has invited the young master to enter the palace."

It's Lao Wu who invites you.How do you know he is at the farm?Since they knew that he was in the farm, they must also know about his tryst with Li Gu'er.Please enter the palace now, what will happen?Is it to warn yourself?
Wang Hua stepped into the carriage suspiciously.

After entering Chang'an City for a while, the carriage did not go to Daming Palace, but to Suzaku Gate. After passing the imperial city, it went straight to Chengtian Gate and entered Taiji Palace.This made Wang Hua feel very strange. Strictly speaking, the Tai Chi Palace was the main hall where the Tang government handled government affairs and the early dynasty.Li Yuan and Li Shimin spent most of their time in Tai Chi Palace, governing the Tang Dynasty.But after Wu Zetian became queen, Tang Gaozong and her spent most of their time in Luoyang. Even if they returned to Chang'an, they would still handle official business in Daming Palace.Wang Hua estimated that Wu Zetian hadn't been to Taiji Palace for 40 to [-] years.

The Taiji Hall is the Daxing Hall of the Sui Dynasty. It was built by Yu Wenkai. It is a matter of extravagance. It is much taller than the main halls of Daming Palace and Luoyang Palace.But in this large palace, there was only Wu Zetian sitting on the dragon chair, and now including Wang Hua, there were only two people, which made Wang Hua feel a little eerie.

After meeting Wang Hua, he followed Lao Wu's instructions and sat under her head.Wu Zetian asked, "Did you have a private meeting with Xiao Bao'er just now?"

Ask directly.

Wang Hua hesitated and couldn't answer.

Looking at Wu Zetian's face, he didn't see her angry or happy, so he just gave up. He didn't have the ability to see her real psychological activities from her face.

"Don't look at me, it's just a trivial matter for you guys, but because Xiao Baoer's status is different, if it's a private meeting, it's fine, if you have extravagant hopes, it's a big thing."

Wang Hua wiped off his cold sweat, bent down and replied, "I understand the proportion."

"It's good to understand. I called you here today, not to challenge you for this matter, but just to remind you by the way. I came here for another matter."

"Your Majesty, please instruct me that I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate to die, and I will do it for Your Majesty."

"I know. You have done a good job this year, and you are very pleased with me. But do you know why I don't like to stay in the Taiji Palace, but prefer to stay in the Daming Palace to handle political affairs?"

"This minister knows. The Daming Palace was originally the place where Gaozu took refuge. Later, Gaozong suffered from wind arthralgia, and the Taiji Palace was low and humid, which was not conducive to Gaozong's illness. Therefore, it was expanded in the second year of Longshuo (662) and moved in three years later. The Daming Palace listens to the government. Another reason is that the Taiji Palace is low-lying, which is not conducive to preventing changes. For example, in the fifth year of Yonghui (654), the heavy rain, the mountains and rivers soared, and the Xuanwu Gate was rushed, and the guards scattered. It was General Xue who came to the gate to warn In the palace, Emperor Gaozong and the emperor were able to ride high. Even that night, the flood drowned more than [-] guards and palace people. The Daming Palace is located in Gangfu, looking south to Shuangkai and Zhongnan, and the market is overlooking. It can be seen that it is not only beneficial to guard the palace, but also can control the overall situation of the capital. So later the main hall was moved into the Daming Palace."

"Yes," Wu Zetian raised his head and looked at the empty palace and said with emotion: "I was still very young that year, and I was just called into the palace by Emperor Gaozong to perform Zhaoyi. If General Xue hadn't tried his best to rescue me that night, maybe today you I can't even see me."

Wang Hua didn't dare to answer.

"Xiaoer, don't look at me. Even Gaozong called in General Xue again in the first year of Kaiyao (681). He said that ninety percent of the palace was flooded. Without Qingzhen, he would be a fish. Qingbei Expedition The nine surnames and the eastward attack on Koryo are all credited to you. Even if you have done it, how can I forget it? Some people say that you let go of the Hu thief under Wuhai City, which led to your failure later. I am very unhappy. How can you be a high-spirited and not commanding for me? This is the truth. General Xue Na was a loyal minister. It was the defeat of Dafeichuan. At that time, Gaozong did not listen to Liu Rengui's suggestion and used Xue Na as his deputy. It was caused by Guo Daifeng. In the end, General Xue was not able to achieve a complete victory, and even I often cited it as a pity."

When Wang Hua heard this, he still didn't dare to answer, but he heard it, and praised Xue Rengui, he was Xue Rengui's disciple, and in the past year, he had done similar things to Xue Rengui.Of course, if we talk about achievements, it is far from General Xue. At least Xue Rengui dared to put down Goryeo with 2000 people. Would he dare?But that's a good sign.

Wu Zetian said again: "There is another reason for moving into Daming Palace, which you don't know."

Wang Hua nodded. All he knew were these two reasons. He really didn't know the other reasons.

"That was my idea. Back then in this old palace, I did many things. Some things were right, some things were wrong, and some things were done right, but I was a little tougher."

Wang Hua almost fell down.Think of what she has done in this palace.First he killed Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, then Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, then exiled relatives and killed his son, and poisoned his sister Mrs. Wei Guo, but this did not happen in Taiji Palace.

It's not easy to talk about these things, isn't it hurting me to talk about this topic with me?
But if Lao Wu didn't have such brutal means, she would not be able to reach the peak in the end.Just like her descendants, especially after Xuanzong, there were several emperors who had made great achievements, but they were actually controlled by eunuchs.If she has half the means, maybe Datang still has hope of regaining his strength.Although Wang Hua didn't like these conspiracies and tricks, especially some brutal methods, he had to admit that this was something the emperor must master.

Wu Zetian stood up and asked suddenly, "Wang Xiaoer, do you believe in ghosts?"

There may not be ghosts, but there must be souls, and he has experienced it himself.But how long this soul can last without dissipating is not sure.As for reincarnation after death, I also dare not confirm it.If everyone is like him, remembering the experience of the previous life, the world is in chaos.

He shook his head blankly and said, "Your Majesty, the journey of gods and ghosts is far away. I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I don't know if it's true or not."

But after he finished speaking, cold sweat broke out all over his body, because he vaguely knew what Lao Wu would say next.

Sure enough, Wu Zetian said again: "But I often see some ghosts at night. I have seen many lives and deaths in my life, and I will not be afraid. But I don't want to entangle with them for too long. Coupled with Gaozong's illness and the terrain, I finally persuaded Emperor Gaozong moved into Daming Palace."

Speaking of this, she stepped down from the dragon chair, pointed to the empty palace and said: "This palace was built in the Sui Dynasty, from civilian husbands to palace servants, countless people died. There are too many lonely ghosts floating in it."

Wang Hua followed her with a wave of her big sleeve, as if countless winds were blowing around her.I even complained in my heart, thinking that this is me, if Xiao Chiying came over, I would be so scared that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

Wu Zetian said again: "When I arrived at Daming Palace, there were still some fierce ghosts entangled behind me. Especially that Xiaoshi (Concubine Xiao Shu) cursed and turned into an evil cat to harm me. Although I was not afraid, I was forced to do so. Finally, the royal capital was moved to Luoyang."

This is a secret story. Before Wu Zetian became the empress, she had been intriguing with the empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu in the palace, just like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.Wu Zetian had the last laugh. After getting the queen, she was still not at ease, so she imprisoned the queen and concubine Xiao Shu in a secret room. There were no doors and windows around the secret room, and only a small hole was opened in the door to feed food.One day Tang Gaozong remembered the love he had with the queen concubine Xiao Shu, and went to visit them. Seeing them like this, he walked over and asked, "Queen, concubine Shu, how are you doing now?" The two were overjoyed, and replied, "The concubine has nothing to ask for. , just hope to see the sun." Gaozong replied in tears: "Don't worry, I will deal with it myself."

However, this attracted Wu Zetian's murderous intent.After hearing this, they first cut off their limbs and soaked them in wine jars, trying to drunk their bones to death in the wine.Concubine Xiao Shu cursed before she died, saying: "Awu is so seductive, so much so! May I be a cat in another life, and Awu be a mouse, so I can hold his throat forever."

At first, Lao Wu was not afraid, but later he often had nightmares, dreaming that Concubine Xiao Shu turned into a black cat and scratched her throat.It turns out that she also loves cats. She loves to collect all kinds of best cats and keep them in the palace.But after this incident, Empress Wu Zetian issued an order that all cats were forbidden in the palace, even if the rats became a disaster.

Many historians have great doubts about this matter, why Tang Gaozong didn't ask why Wu Zetian did this kind of thing.Finally, he explained that Tang Gaozong was too weak.But after Wang Hua's analysis, he found that the weakness was only a small part.Li Zhi also has his own ideas.When he was alive, Lao Wu did it perfectly, without any selfishness. For example, she didn't take care of her own family, and if someone in her family made mistakes, she did it right.
Also, he is often sick and needs a reliable person to take care of government affairs. What else can be more reassuring than his wife?When Emperor Gaozong passed away, Lao Wu was also in his 60s. Is it possible for an old lady in her 60s to become emperor?Besides, it is Lao Wu's own son who inherits the throne.Gaozong wanted Wu Zetian to complete a transition. After all, she had rich experience and could complete the transition from Gaozong to his sons, so Gaozong and his ministers suggested that the queen be regent.This is historical fact.Who would have thought that this mother would usurp the power of her son?

But no one thought that Wu Zetian would go so far.

It is impossible for Gaozong not to know about this important event, but Li Zhi chose Jiangshan when he weighed Jiangshan and beauty.Therefore, Lao Wu was not held accountable.

But these things can't be told to me now.Wang Hua now even has the thought of running away.
