Chapter 294 Decisive Battle at Grace Temple (September [-])

After Wang Hua heard this, he wanted to laugh out loud. How dare Zhang Yizhi regard him as who he is?

Wu Zetian?Or Zhou Yi?

Even if he forcefully wants to see Wu Zetian now, Wu Zetian will not dismiss himself because he has no time.

If the sky does evil, you can still live.People who commit crimes cannot live.But there is no need for Wang Hua to compete with this dying person now, he said again: "Then trouble you to say another word for me, just say that I came here today as Feng Chen."

The porter went in again to report.This is Wang Hua, and now Wu Zetian still favors it, even the concierge knows that Wu Zetian said that Wang Hua is Wei Zheng's business.Otherwise, Zhang Shuo, a third-rank Fengge Sheren who came, might be kicked out by the concierge.

After a while the concierge came back, and he said: "Our Wulang said that it was Feng Chen who went in, and Jiang Gan who didn't."

Wang Hua was so angry that he wanted to laugh, he really regarded himself as his servant, Zhou Yu and Meng Changjun.

Without saying a word, he walked in.

The pavement is made of Han white marble, and there are many exotic flowers and plants on both sides. In terms of luxury and luxury, it is even worse than that mansion in Luoyang.Walking to the living room, Zhang Yizhi greeted him, laughed and said, "Erlang, you've worked hard all the way."

Since Wang Hua "bowed himself" to be his disciple, he also called him Wulang, and Zhang Yizhi also responded to Li, calling him Erlang.Let's carry the sedan chair.

Armed with Wang Hua's hand, they entered the living room together, clapped their hands, asked the servants to make new tea, and said, "Erlang, I heard that you like tea ceremony very much. This is the most famous tribute tea in Huzhou, Guzhu purple bamboo shoot tea. , see if it is purple like a bamboo shoot?"

Wang Hua took a sip and said, "That's right, it's really bright in color and fragrant in the mouth."

Zhang Yizhi clapped his hands again, and some beautifully dressed maidservants brought out Guozhen, and then a group of musicians came in with musical instruments such as qin, square ring, konghou, pipa, zither, xiao, long and short flutes, and various drums, and the music sounded , and 64 beautiful dancers dressed in gauze came in and began to dance to the music.

It is the most famous dance of the Tang Dynasty, "Celebrating Shanyue", and "Breaking the Array" are the two civil and military dances of the Tang Dynasty, both created by Li Shimin.The dance is peaceful, which means the harmony of culture and morality, and the world is happy.

It is also Zhang Yizhi's house, and other ministers can't afford it.Although they are all women in the teaching workshop, they don't need to be paid, but at least they have to eat, dress and make up. Well, they also need to pay some rewards as pocket money, as well as various musical instruments, dance clothes, and raise a dancer and musician. The cost is staggering.Zhu Jing, who was poor, couldn't even support his family, not to mention these musicians and dancers.

But Wang Hua also forgot one thing, he took advantage of the money I lost in a year, and the servants who raised the Zhang family couldn't afford it, but it was not a problem to raise such a few dancers.

Wang Hua became anxious when he saw it. Zhang Yizhi wanted to practice Tai Chi with him, to hone his skills.He cupped his hands and said, "Goro, I just arrived in the capital city, and I didn't make any of the three 氍毹. Time is tight. When I have free time, I will come to your mansion to communicate with Goro slowly, and enjoy the dance by the way."

"Since this is the case, why didn't Erlang rest in peace earlier? Could it be that he wanted to be a lobbyist for some people? Erlang, don't forget, how the Holy Majesty asked you to be a lonely minister in order to prevent you from being involved in court disputes." Among them, Erlang was even transferred to the army as Erlang wished. Some things have nothing to do with Erlang, please intervene suddenly."

Seal it directly!

Wang Hua opened his mouth, and still had to say something.You can't listen to this dying man, even if he's unhappy, as long as you don't overdo it, he's fine.He took a sip of tea and said, "Goro, I really want to intervene. It's just that I've finished a few sentences. It's Goro's business how to arrange it."

"Okay, tell me, let's step down together." Zhang Yizhi waved his sleeves and asked the dancers to step down one by one with a rather displeased expression.

Wang Hua was also unhappy. Zhang Yizhi now is completely different from Zhang Yizhi a few years ago.In particular, Wu Zetian sent Wei Yuanzhong to prison after hearing what Wu Xuzi said, which made him even more forgetful.But it's just unhappy. Really speaking, he and Zhang Yizhi didn't have a big problem. On the contrary, no matter what Zhang Yizhi's thoughts were, he still secretly helped him.Therefore, he was not very angry, and said: "Wulang, have you read the few articles I wrote about horses? The way of being a slave is to be lenient. If you are lenient, you will be slow and you will insult your master."

"That's right, just like you, some people keep trying to get benefits from you, and even put you to death, but you still persuaded the emperor Kuan Daxiao and Mang Ershi, but in the end, in the middle of the river, the danger of death Enter the fish mouth, this is also a warning to you."

Don't be miscellaneous, Wang Hua said with a wry smile: "Wang Lang, that matter may have nothing to do with the seven surnames, and it has nothing to do with the court dispute. I have been thinking about this issue for so many days. It may be related to my fourth sister's disappearance." That case is implicated. In a few days, the Turkic people will provide some further evidence. Goro, listen to me, I have another sentence below, that is, strictness is easy to force rebellion. Goro, in terms of power and power, you are not as good as Qin The Second Emperor and Yang Guang. They were sitting on the whole world, but they fell apart after only a few years. Therefore, it is the long-term truth to strike a balance between leniency and strictness."

In fact, Wang Hua only needs to say: "Your Majesty still has a few years to live, what will you do if you die? You have to find someone else, Li Dan or Li Xian, or Princess Taiping, even Wu Sansi. Find a master and help him If he comes to power, you can continue to maintain your glory and wealth, and don't make enemies on all sides."

After all the problems were solved.

But I can't say it. I said it before, and it probably reached Wu Zetian's ears at night. When Wu Zetian heard it, what?Want to curse me to death.Well, let you die before me.It is estimated that he became the third minister to go to prison and be ordered to be executed.

"Then what do you mean?"

"Punishment!" Wang Hua said, it is impossible to let Wei Yuanzhong go like this, Zhang Yizhi would not agree, and Wu Zetian would not agree either, Wang Hua took the initiative to say it.

With one word, Zhang Yizhi's face immediately eased, and he asked, "How to punish?"

"The sage makes the decision, and Wulang makes decisions, but the ministers don't know. But there is no need to beheaded. This is a warning, and the other is to show that Wulang has a big belly and a good reputation. At the same time, it will not force some ministers who think they are loyal to be angry. After Wang Hua finished speaking, he cupped his hands and said, "Wu Lang, I've finished my words. Whether to do it or not is up to Wu Lang to decide."

Say goodbye.

In fact, it was just a cutscene. It is estimated that Lao Wu didn't really want to kill, otherwise the autumn is a good time to kill.But Lao Wu was closed for nearly ten days, but he didn't kill him. It shows that Lao Wu has murderous intentions, but he has been hesitant. freed.Even if Wang Hua persuaded Lao Wu now, he might be able to persuade him.

This cutscene is gone, I respect you, that's fine.

When I got home, I saw that the whole family looked very strange. What's wrong?
Li Hong pursed her lips and said, "Erlang, take a look at the living room."

Wang Hua went to the living room. There were two young girls sitting in the living room, one big and one small, two lolitas, one Li Gu'er, one Li Chiying, and they were looking at each other in disbelief.His parents sat aside, embarrassed and didn't know how to persuade him.

Li Hong whispered again: "Just now the Princess and Her Royal Highness had an argument for quite a while."

I haven't bothered you yet, and it's all delivered to your door automatically.Wang Hua sullenly said, "Dinner."

When the two women saw Wang Hua coming, they were about to speak, but when they saw that his expression was not right, Li Gu'er knew that Wang Hua was about to lose his temper.The domineering energy came up, but this time it really made Wang Hua difficult. The persuasion of so many ministers didn't work, so he felt wronged and dared not speak.Li Chiying didn't dare to speak anymore, but what Li Bao'er thought was domineering, Li Chiying thought it was majestic.

After eating, Wang Hua wiped his mouth carelessly with a towel, and said to the two of them, "Come with me to the study."

The two of them were really obedient, obediently following behind him, seeing Wang Yi and the Queen Mother looking at each other in dismay, yes, this son is a good wife, and the two masters forced him to train him like an obedient kitten. have to.

Wang Hua walked to the study room, didn't even give up a seat, sat down and asked: "Princess, Princess, whose idea is it that you write to me?"

"Wei Xianggong is a loyal minister, Erlang, you should help him."

"My brother asked me to write it, but Wei Xianggong is a good minister."

The two answered at the same time.

"Let me tell you one thing, do tofu makers like tofu?"

The two shook their heads, making tofu every day, how could they like tofu?
"Do fishermen like to eat fish?"

Shaking his head again.

"The same is true for the Holy Majesty. As a woman, she was honored as a great treasure. In order to clean up some unruly ministers, she used a lot of iron and blood methods. Therefore, in her old age, she did not want her descendants to be like her again. Now Let me tell you one thing, don't spread it outside."

The two nodded.

"For the sake of the Crown Prince, King Xiang, King Liang and Zhang's brothers, so that they will not kill each other in the future, His Majesty has made many arrangements, including me."

"Didn't the aunt say that you are Wei Zheng's talent, and that's why she reused you?" Li Chiying asked curiously.

It seems that the news spread really fast, even Xiao Yuzhen knew about it.Wang Hua smiled wryly, and said: "That's just one of them, and the other is that the Holy One hopes that I can be a thread to connect everyone together, so that I can be a peacemaker when something happens in the future, so that the court can continue to be stable. This thread is far from My point, therefore, Bao’er, King Liang doesn’t care about my ambiguous relationship with you, but the Emperor will like it instead. Because of this, I have colluded with the crown prince and King Liang again because of you. In addition to the princess, there is still With Zhang Yizhi's secret help to me over the years, I have become an important thread."

This was an important insider news, and the two girls looked at him in surprise.

"But as I said, I am young and have low qualifications, so I am not enough to take on such an important task. Therefore, the Holy Majesty let me go to the army. I have a good environment to grow up quickly, and the promotion speed is much faster than ordinary people. Think again, last year In October, Chen Daci, the governor of Maozhou, fought against Tubo. He won all four battles and killed more than [-] enemies. The Holy Majesty only rewarded me with some money. Let’s see what the Holy Majesty rewarded me? Several promotions within a year, and a fourth-rank position General, third-rank title. Considering my age and seniority, how many ministers in the court have received this kind of favor?"

"But there is a first premise. I am a lonely minister and cannot take sides. Ninth princess, you don't know, but princess, don't you know? Now you are all forcing me to help, I won't help, yes Foul minister, help me, what do you think? The real sage has no idea? If he wanted to kill Wei Xianggong, he would have killed him long ago, and he would wait until I came to the capital to persuade him?"

"But," Li Gu'er opened his mouth, wanting to say, you clearly said that you took refuge in my father.But with Li Chiying on the side, he didn't dare to speak out.

Wang Hua glanced at her and said, "No need to say anything, I know what's in my mind, but some things should not be revealed too much. Also, you think I'm dangerous in the army, don't you?"

The two girls nodded again.

"Wrong, it's dangerous if I enter the court. Your Majesty's life's mistakes are in this," Wang Hua said with a sigh: "It is precisely because she has such thoughts that she maintains a balance, but this balance But it gave the crown prince, princess concubine, Xiang Wang, Liang Wang and His Royal Highness Princess Taiping the opportunity to develop their strength. After a few years, once this dangerous balance is broken, it will be the beginning of the strangulation. At this time, who will take the lead? The sooner you die, the sooner you die. Your Highness, if my guess is correct, Tang Shangshu and Zong Shilang are very close to your family, right?"

You can't ask this question in front of Li Chiying, it's not good for Li Bao'er to answer, and it's not good not to answer.

"Also, princess, Zhang Shilang and Yao Changshi are also very close to your family. But why didn't I see them write a memorial to recommend that Mr. Wei is innocent?"

"Yeah, it's really strange," Li Chiying said immediately because he was young and not scheming.

"It's not surprising, because they are all important cores, and they can't move anymore. Once the Holy One finds an excuse, demotion or execution, the strength will be weakened. That's why I was thrown into this wrench to be strangled. And because of the name, I have to be rescued." At this point, he took out the stack of letters from his arms and said, "The funniest thing is that you are also in a hurry to let me die early and reincarnate early. If I die, let's see you fight What kind of wind, what kind of jealousy."

"I don't know," Li Chiying finished speaking, staring at Li Bao'er from the corner of her eyes, thinking, I am still a child, but you are an adult, you should know the reason.

Wang Hua said again: "It has nothing to do with knowing. In short, you should remember that I get along with you because of friendship and has nothing to do with your identities. On the contrary, because of your identities, it has brought me a lot of trouble, but that is also It doesn't matter, I will try my best to resolve these troubles, but you take the initiative to bring this identity into our relationship, which will only disappoint me."

"It's definitely not the case," Li Chiying argued again.

Li Gu'er didn't say anything, just patted his belly.Now the time of pregnancy is not long, and I still can't see the appearance of the bulge.

Wang Hua was amused, and said: "Okay, that's it, you guys don't argue a few words in the future. Before the general situation of the world is not stable, things between us will not be stable at all. I am tired and have to rest. If you If you don't leave, then go to bed with me."

"I knew you thought so," Li Bao'er scolded, and left angrily after speaking.Li Chiying also blushed and went to bed, and now she is in vain, what is going on.It seems that it is not good to go to bed now, so I also leave in a daze.

The next day, Wang Hua entered the palace and had to supervise it himself. There should be no major problems with the skills of these craftsmen, but the main thing is to cooperate with each other. A 氍毹 is only about ten feet long and less than ten feet wide. Now there are many craftsmen. However, because of the size of the truss, not every craftsman can personally participate in it. There are carpet-weaving activities, silk-making activities, silk-making activities, and crafts such as silk tapestry and embroidery. clear.If a yarn is wrong, all previous efforts may be wasted.

In fact, in the final analysis, Wang Hua does not have much foundation and is not as handy as porcelain. Even lacquerware is better. That is to consider soft sculpture, hard sculpture and artistic feeling, which are all his forte.Silk embroidery, this thing has been collected, but how many times have you used embroidery needles to embroider a work by yourself?
But after a while, the eunuch came over and passed on Wang's paintings to Xuanzheng Hall.

As he was going to the early court, Wang Hua had a good idea in his mind, probably Lao Wu called him because of Wei Yuanzhong.

Entering the Xuanzheng Hall, this is also the main hall of the Chang Dynasty since the later period of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty. Ordinary early dynasties are held in this hall. The Zichen Hall is the main hall of the inner dynasty. The officials who enter the Zichen Hall are of high grade, so it is called entering the cabinet. Only went in twice.But he didn't really go to court.There is also Yanying Hall, which is the place where the emperor summons the prime minister to discuss the country's military affairs. Under special circumstances, the prime minister can also force the emperor to go to the Yanying Hall to discuss matters. Wang Hua never went there once.Not enough.The other is Linde Hall, which is the place where grand banquets are held and representatives of local ethnic minorities are received by foreign envoys.These are the four main halls of the Daming Palace.

After Wang Hua met, Wu Zetian said: "I have already agreed with the Turks that the three contests are scheduled to be held in the Temple of Mercy on September [-]."

September 23, that is, September [-], at Ci'en Temple, it seems that Wu Zetian also scared Wang Hua from the previous competitions, fearing that too many people would come.It just so happens that Ci’en Temple lives in the south city, and there are few people. The most important thing is that there is a large square in front of Ci’en Temple, which is very open on all sides. Even if there is a problem, the crowd can be evacuated in an emergency.

Wang Hua said: "My sage is wise, this place is a very good location."

"But you haven't started making one of the three trusses so far. I'm afraid there won't be enough time."

"Your Majesty, chopping wood is not afraid of sharpening knives, because I have many new methods for making this time, and the craftsmen must be tempered. I came back yesterday and entered the palace. I am in good condition. There are still fourteen days before Xinhai. You should In time."

"That's good. I want to ask you one more thing. In the case of Yuan Zhong, do you have any suggestions?"

Hearing Wu Zetian asked Wang Hua this question, all the ministers stared at Wang Hua together.This case has dragged on for many days. When Wu Zetian asked about this sentence, he probably started to make a decision today. At this time, Wang Hua can make Wei Yuanzhong alive with one sentence, and die with one sentence.

Wang Hua bowed and replied: "The minister is stupid, but the minister only said a few words. The emperor's temple sacrificed jade, the Weiqiao Lu people, the school captain did not investigate, the perjury officer, Yu Qing's party, worked hard to die."

Hearing the last sentence, all the ministers knelt down with enthusiasm and said, "What Wang Zhongying said is very true. Please think twice. Your Majesty is willing to die to prove Yuan Zhong's innocence."

Wang Hua was also dumbfounded, he just gave a few examples.In the Han Dynasty, a man stole a jade ring from the Emperor Gaozu’s temple. Zhang Shizhi sentenced him to abandon the market.Zhang Shizhi only said one thing, what if someone accidentally dug up a cup of soil from the Han Mausoleum?Finally, Emperor Wen of Han finally agreed with his judgment.There was also a reckless citizen who jumped out when Emperor Wen's car passed the Wei Bridge, frightened the car driver, and was also sentenced by Zhang Shizhi for violating the Taoist order, and was only fined and released.

The third and fourth incidents belonged to Dai Zhou, a minister of the Tang Dynasty.Once the eldest grandson Wuji was summoned, and he entered Dongshang Pavilion with a sword in his hands. Feng Deyi suggested that the school captain of Jianmen should be killed if he didn't check.Another official who forged his identity was also defended by Dai and saved from death.

The last two things are about Wu Zetian's famous official Xu Yougong. Xu Yougong used his party to fool Lao Wu, wanting Lao Wu to avoid Yan Yuqing's death penalty.Xu Yougong insisted that Yan Yuqing was not the "leader" and could not be punished.Wu Zetian scolded and asked: "What is a leader?" Xu Yougong said: "The leader is the commander-in-chief; the leader is Yuanmou." Wu Zetian had no choice but to absolve Yan Yuqing of the death penalty.Later, Wu Zetian punished and killed Concubine De and her family. After Xu Yougong learned about it, he tried his best to admonish him.Wu Zetian was furious, and suggested that Xu Yougong be executed for the crime of aiding the party.A friend of Xu Yougong told him the news, and he said frankly: "Am I the only one who died in this world? Or is there someone who is immortal? It's just an early death or a late death. If you die to protect the law of the country, what a pity to die." In the end, Wu Ze's weather also subsided, and he was pardoned for the death penalty.

These six events are all good stories about law enforcement fairness in history.When Wang Hua said it now, it meant that Wei Yuanzhong had no evidence, so he was not justified by the law.

But you ministers, don't follow suit.This coaxing, as if I brought everyone together to pay back justice for Wei Yuanzhong, isn't this driving ducks to the shelves?
Wang Hua looked at these ministers who were upright, filled with righteous indignation, went through fire and water, and sacrificed generously, and didn't know what to say.Anyway, there is still a prime minister among you, and the six ministers are all much higher than my official position, so righteous and awe-inspiring, why did you go so early?

Wang Hua regretted it more than eating a catty of Coptis chinensis.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He raised his head and looked at Wu Zetian, guessing that Wu Zetian must throw the teacup, slap the table and leave.However, it was very strange that Wu Zetian was looking at his expression, with an infinite smile on his face. What baffled Wang Hua the most was that there was a very flirtatious taste in Wu Zetian's smile.
