Chapter 579 Yin Change
Chapter 579 Yin Change (two chapters in one)
The weather gradually cooled down, and in the morning, there were layers of silver pearls in the fields outside Luoyang City, rolling like pearls on the grass leaves.
Li Longji came galloping with several people on horseback, without missing the beautiful scenery, he immediately entered Luoyang City.
Wang Hua's army retreated and an agreement was reached. Although the court paid a huge price, Wang Hua accepted the official position of the court and at the same time allowed court officials to station in Linglan Shuzhou, which was regarded as being recruited by the court.This made the people breathe a sigh of relief.
But they didn't know that a bigger event was about to begin.
Li Xian's long-awaited awakening made some Qingliu ministers see hope.However, Wei's party still occupies the mainstream in the court, and the four Wei knock on the door, not to mention, many other figures are ambiguous with Webster's, and there are dozens of Webster's children sharing various important positions.In addition to these people, Zhang Jiafu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Cen Xi, Minister of Zhongshu, Wu Yanxiu, Taichang Qing, Zhao Luwen, Secretary of Agriculture, Ye Nengjing, Minister of the State Jijiu, Cui Riyong, Minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Yong, Secretary Supervisor, and Dou Cong, the doctor of imperial history First, Li Chengjia, Ji Chuna, Gan Yuanjian, Ran Zumin, Li Jun and others from the original Wu Sansi parties all turned to Webster after Wu Sansi's death. These ministers successively held various important positions in the court.
If it hadn't been for Wang Hua's coercion, which killed Zhou Yong and the Zong brothers, the Wei Party would have been even more powerful.
So under Zhang Jiazhen's suggestion, Li Xian made two imperial edicts, the first one was to let Li Longji come back.At this time, we must put aside our prejudices. Brothers are of one heart, and their profits can cut through gold. Brothers fight against the wall, and their families are ruined.It's hard to say the next sentence clearly. If you want to beat your wife, you still need your sister and brother. You can't count on others.
Because of this imperial decree, Li Longji returned to Luoyang from Luzhou in a fair manner.
The second imperial decree is to let Song Jing return to Beijing and serve as the servant of the household department and the third rank of Tong Zhongshu.
However, Li Dan thought that this edict was issued too hastily, and the Ministry of Officials was in charge of the evaluation of the selection and award of hundreds of officials, which was the first of the six departments.This is a very important department. For example, now, in order to control the court, Webster appointed his confidant Zhang Xi to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Cui Shi, another sycophant, served as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Tong Ping Zhangshi.
This is an important piece of cheese, even no less than a position of prime minister. Besides, Da Song himself is upright, and a servant of the staff with a position is even more jealous of Webster's followers.
It is precisely because of this imperial decree that Li Dan is very worried.
As soon as Li Longji came back, Li Dan pulled him into the study and explained the situation.
Li Longji frowned and asked: "But the emperor is now in his prime, don't they?"
"I'm just afraid that they will do this." How to do it, the two of them didn't mention it, but they were born in the deep palace, and after going through various methods of Lao Wu, they knew what to do.
"Is there no way?"
"This is difficult. The minister is better off. The main reason is that the Habayashi Army is all in the hands of the Zhu Wei brothers."
Hearing this sentence, Li Longji was very angry. If it weren't for Wang Hua, Webster would not have come to a big cleansing.Like at this time, what army is the most important. Wang Hua's blood camp is full of floating clouds and magical horses. If he wants to fight Luoyang layer by layer, all the tea will be cold.
There is only the Habayashi Army.
At the beginning of the Shenlong coup, it was because of the control of the Habayashi Army that the five kings and the father king succeeded.During Li Chongjun's coup, things started in a hurry, otherwise it would be a few hundred Yulin army, maybe it would make him a big deal.
"There's no rush for this, Gu quietly invited someone over."
"Who?"
"Gallis."
"Very good," Li Longji replied immediately.
Gao Lishi is a descendant of the Feng family in Lingnan. His family was confiscated due to the crime of implicating others. He was castrated and sent to the palace since he was a child. He was adopted by the middleman Gao Yanfu, so he changed his surname to Gao.Although this man was an eunuch, he was able to do both civil and military affairs, and he was loyal and loyal, so some people called him the most virtuous eunuch in Chinese history.
Once Wu Zetian was expelled from the palace due to minor faults, and later because of Gao Yanfu's friendship with Wu Sansi, he was able to be reintroduced into the palace, worrying about the imperial court.
He is also one of Li Longji's best friends. As his talent, he is also worthy of Li Longji's association.Although he is a eunuch, Li Dan and his son respect him very much.
Mentioning Gao Lishi, Li Shengji said: "It's just right, my son introduced the two to my father and king."
As he spoke, two big men came in, the first one was Wang Maozhong, who was originally a slave, and even Li Dan didn't pay attention to it. It wasn't until Li Longji went to Luzhou that his talent and bravery gradually appeared in front of Li Longji like gold. Cited as Li Longji's right-hand man.The other person, Li Yide, was recommended by a celebrity when Li Longji was in Luzhou. He was a servant of a rich family, but he was nimble and good at riding and shooting. He was a hero, so Li Longji bought him for [-] yuan.
Two people came in to salute, and Li Dan immediately helped them up.
After the incident of Wang Hua, Li Dan can no longer underestimate the heroes of the world.Since they can enter the eyes of the son, these two people are not ordinary people.
Li Longji whispered again: "I also brought back three hundred elite soldiers. They will arrive later, and I will arrange them in a manor outside the city."
"Well done," Li Dan said with relief.
This is real power, power that is truly in your hands.
But then a cloud appeared on his face again.
Even with these 300 people, the manpower is still too small, and unlike the Habayashi Army, they can easily approach the palace.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but resent himself as the third brother, who had been emperor for several years, what exactly did he do?
But the matter has come to this point, so he had to think of another solution, he asked: "Ji'er, have you figured out those two questions?"
Li Longji shook his head blankly, asked Zhang Shuo, Zhang Jiazhen, and even wrote to Da Song, but he couldn't answer.I have thought of countless answers, but they are also plausible. Of course, this is definitely not the answer Wang Hua needs.
Li Dan also frowned, and said to himself: "What is the answer?"
Both father and son pondered, if they get Wang Hua's help, the current difficulties will no longer be difficult.
First of all, Wang Hua's prestige, he sent troops for himself, it's hard to say, if he supports that side to participate in the battle for the throne, and the nature becomes King Qin, then the front of the soldiers will be sharper.
In fact, none of this is necessary. As long as he sends out a thousand elite soldiers and uses Li Dan's relationship to send them to Luoyang, and bring those dozens of small cannons, the overall situation will be settled.
It's not that only Wang Hua had soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, there were more soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, but people's hearts are unpredictable now, that is, Guo Yuanzhen and Xue Na's soldiers may not have Webster's followers.Even if there is no such thing, there may be a possibility of coveting the powerful and informing Webster.If it happened, not to mention the big things, my father and son would still be in disaster.
Only Wang Hua's soldiers are reliable, they almost rebelled, how could they be Webster's henchmen.Even if there were, Wang Hua's old blood camp, the party members and Tuyuhun recruited from Jishishan and Dafeichuan would not have Webster's party members.
In fact, Li Dan regrets his behavior very much now.
After a while, Li Dan said: "Ji'er, I think you should go to Lingzhou, it just so happens that Wang Hua is going to marry that little lady of the Wang family soon, please congratulate me and then give him a clear promise. "
As he said something in his ear, Li Longji said in surprise: "How is this possible?"
"In the current situation, what's the difference between giving and not giving? The situation is not that bad. Maybe he will feel embarrassed and take the initiative to hand it over at that time." Speaking of this, Li Dan looked worried: "If you are alone, even if you give He won't accept this benefit."
Li Longji smiled wryly. Others could guess it, but it was really difficult for Wang Hua to guess. The two possibilities his father said could happen.
Suddenly he remembered, and asked in surprise: "Father, what did you say just now? Wang Hua is going to marry the young lady of the Wang family?"
If Wang Hua marries Wang Han, how will his ninth younger sister be arranged?
Li Dan shook his head and said: "You still regard Wang Hua as a courtier? This time, marrying the young lady of the Wang family has nothing to do with your sister. On the contrary, I heard that many people in the blood camp regard your sister as their mother. This It's the only good news we have right now."
Li Longji was at a loss for words for a while, if his father's promise just now was fulfilled, Wang Hua could have two children, and there would be no problem with the placement of the young lady of the Wang family.But thinking of this, he thought of another question that made him gossip, what happened to Wang Hua and that cousin in the palace now?
Li Dan is going to talk to him about this issue.
Li Dan added: "Wang Hua didn't mention your Xiaojiu's marriage. The main reason is that the overall situation is still uncertain. Besides, Gu is very worried. He intends to indulge the queen."
Li Longji felt strange at first, but then he realized that when he married Jiumei, Webster might think that Li Guer's trump card would not work.Now only by making Webster misunderstand, Webster can attack the emperor.Of course, it is an opportunity for me, although there are risks, but it is not like this, my father and son will never have a good reputation, and their words will not go well.But it is also an opportunity for Wang Hua.
But……?
Li Dan also had a sullen face. If this is the case, it will be really bad news for the Li clan.
He sighed and said, "I hope he still misses Princess An Le."
If Wang Hua can choose even Li Guer now, he can start to achieve great things if he puts it nicely, and if he puts it badly, he can really become an ambitious man.
Only then did Li Longji understand why Li Dan agreed to Wang Hua's promise.
At this time, Gao Lishi quietly came to Xiangwang's mansion.
Seeing Li Longji, Gao Lishi rushed over joyfully, and said happily, "My lord, how have you been?"
"It's okay, how is Lux in the palace?"
"Okay, I just miss my son and want to kill my servant."
"Gu also misses you very much," Li Longji warmly welcomed him in and ordered tea to be served.
Li Dan retreated knowingly, and let his son talk to this elegant and handsome eunuch alone.
Li Longji and Gao Lishi first talked about the local conditions and customs of Luzhou, and then went straight to the point. Gao Lishi said: "My son, the situation is not good now."
"Lishi, why do you say that?"
"Since the emperor issued an order for Song Shilang to return to the capital to be his chancellor, the imperial guards in the palace have been mobilized frequently, and the servants are very worried that something will happen."
This was also bad news that couldn't be worse. Li Longji was very close to him and didn't hide it. He asked directly: "Lishi, what can I do?"
"Difficult, difficult, difficult," this is a very talented person, and it is really difficult for him to say three difficult words in a row.After finishing speaking, he said: "It's mainly the imperial army."
"Gu was also discussing this issue with my father just now, but I don't know how to resolve it, so my father sent someone to invite you here quietly."
"My lord, these servants are also planning for my lord these days, so I don't know what cards my lord has in my hand?" Gao Lishi asked.
Li Longji also said it without concealment, and Gao Lishi shook his head after hearing this: "It's too thin."
"Gu also knows that it's too thin, but the only way out now is to find a trustworthy person. It's very difficult. What can I do? It's these three hundred tigers, who were trained carefully and quietly, lest they be caught by others. Find."
"Let this servant think about it," Gao Lishi lowered his head in thought, and said after a while, "There is a way. What are the talents of Wang Maozhong and Li Yide you mentioned?"
"These two are the enemy of a hundred people, and they are clever."
"There is always a chance. Although Zhu Wei controls the Habayashi Army, some of the Wei family's children are very cruel to his subordinates. But you also know, my son, that the generals of the Habayashi Army who guard the safety of the palace are all from wealthy families, so some generals are very dissatisfied. Wang Maozhong and Wang Maozhong are very familiar in the capital, the prince can give them some spare money, let them transform into other identities, and serve as a bridge between them, so that they can make friends with these generals. Whether it can be done, it can only be said that it is up to the sky."
"Lishi, your idea is good."
Gao Lishi shook his head: "It still doesn't work. The main reason is that the Habayashi Army cleaned up too much in the past few years. Even if they recruited some people, their strength is still too weak. But there is one person, the prince can borrow from him."
"Who?"
"My lord, guess."
"Zhang said?"
"No, he's just a civil servant. Now he has clashed with Zhu Wei many times, and he can't take care of himself. How can he help you?"
"Guo Yuanzhen?"
"What's more, although this person is a frontier officer and has made great achievements recently, he is tactful, so he may not be willing to take this risk to help the prince." Gao Lishi spoke from his heart, but this sentence doomed Guo Yuanzhen's tragedy.
"Who then?"
"Wang Hua."
"Wang Hua? Lishi, I know that he helped the Xian family and your Feng family when he was in Qinzhou, and you have spoken well to Gu on his behalf many times. But now, do you expect him to help me? Don't you know that he and your family Contradictions with my father? Contradictions with me?"
"My son, you can't cover your eyes with one leaf. The servant is outside the game and can see clearly. He also hopes that the country will be strong and the people rich, but how has the court treated him in the past few years? The servant only said one thing. It can be said that Tubo’s enmity is for the sake of Princess Jincheng, and to establish a righteous name. But why is he so desperate with Turkic? Doesn’t he know how powerful the enemy who has established Mochuu is?”
This statement reminded Li Longji of another matter. Song Jing mentioned one matter to him in the letter. There seems to be a difference between the state and the imperial court that Wang Hua said.And it also vaguely mentioned that this country is a country of tens of millions of Chinese people, not the country of the Li family, the Cao family, and the Liu family.
Before Wei Yuanzhong died, he also mentioned this matter to his father.
This made him feel that it seemed to have a great relationship with Wang Hua's two questions, but when he really thought about it, he couldn't think of an answer.
At this time Gao Lishi said again: "In the final analysis, Zhang Jiazhen was in a hurry this time, and he was too hasty in calling Song Shilang, or he was transferred back to the capital, and he was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and not the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Maybe it is not so big. Storm. I don’t know why the emperor agreed.”
Speaking of this, he was a little sarcasm, because Song Jing and Wang Hua had a very close relationship, and this time not only Xin Wang Hua rebelled?If I knew this earlier, why did I send troops to Lingzhou in the first place?
Li Longji suddenly said at this time: "I have two questions for you."
Talking about the source of Wang Hua's two questions, maybe this wise eunuch can find the answer.
"How to be a good emperor? The biggest drawback of the Tang Dynasty?" Gao Lishi murmured.If it were an ordinary person, many answers would have come out long ago.But at the level of Zhang Shuo, Gao Lishi, and Zhang Jiazhen, they knew that it was not the same thing.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head: "I can't figure it out. But I know this is good news."
"Why do you say that?"
"Why does he ask you how to be a good emperor? If he wants to be an emperor himself, why should he ask you? If it's not for his blood and orthodoxy, I believe that if he is an emperor, he will not be a bad emperor."
Although Li Longji was dissatisfied, he had to admit that Gao Lishi's words made sense.
"However, time is running out now, Shizi can do one thing immediately while thinking about the answer."
"What's the matter?"
"If you use people, there are no more than three kinds. Use people with authority. The court has rules and regulations, and the army has military laws to force soldiers, officials, and common people to obey their orders. This is also the most inferior method of employing people. Sometimes it backfires, so soldiers have appeared many times in history. Mutiny, rebellion by courtiers, and rebellion by the people. Secondly, using people to repay favors. This is not the best way to employ people. If you are blindly gentle, it is easy to make people look down. Among them, the best is the combination of Wang Hua and the major families. , help each other in the same boat, so they are tied to the same boat. But if the situation changes and the greater interests are in front of us, there will still be a rebellion. So the superior, using both kindness and strength, is a clever way of employing people. But it is not the best Yes, the best thing is to convince people with virtue. For example, King Wu of Zhou used Jiang Ziya, Duke Huan of Qi used Guan Zhong, Liu Bei used Zhuge Liang, and Fu Jian used Wang Meng."
Li Longji already understood what he meant.
Gao Lishi said: "There is no unbreakable ice in the world. It depends on whether the sun is hot enough. My son, go to Lingzhou. Only Wang Hua's consent is the only real way to solve this crisis. It has nothing to do with Lingnan. "
The last five characters are joking with Li Longji.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At this time in Luoyang, Li Dan's family was definitely not the only one conspiring and deliberating, but they stood at the highest point in the political arena and saw more clearly and farther.
Countless dignitaries gathered together to discuss various conspiracies and schemes.
At the same time, in Shangguan Xiaowan's mansion, Shangguan Xiaowan was also discussing with someone, her aunt's son Wang Yu.
At that time, she cited Wang Yu as Zuo's collection, and Wang Yu said a word to Shangguan Xiaowan's concubine Zheng's mother: "Wu, the heavens have abolished it, and it can't be prosperous. Today, Jieyu is attached to Wu and thinks twice. This is an extermination of the family." way."
Mrs. Zheng persuaded Shangguan Xiaowan, but Shangguan Xiaowan refused.
After Wang Hua woke up, she became suspicious in her heart. Of course, the reason for this was Wu Sansi was killed by Li Chongjun.People can still think of the handsome old Wu Sansi when they are alive, but they will die when they die.It's not that Wang Hua is not very attractive, it's because Wang Hua didn't really put his heart on her.
The relationship between the two is not so much about feelings as it is about joining forces to protect themselves and need each other.
In fact, she has been secretly getting close to Princess Taiping.
Even though she knew that Wang Hua and Princess Taiping were at odds (she didn't know about Princess Taiping and Wang Hua), she still didn't cut off contact.There is no way, in order to survive, I have to cunning.
Li Xian pressed on step by step, and Shangguan Xiaowan also realized that Webster's attack might be going on.
She pondered for a while, comparing Webster and Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian promoted all the warriors to defend his own strength.Webster promoted Zhu Wei and surrendered his own strength.He also controlled the Habayashi Army, and also controlled many ministers in the court.In other words, Webster is walking the same path as Wu Zetian.
But not the same?
Wang Hua also talked about this issue, first of all is the method, Wu Zetian's method is unpredictable, the important generals Pei Yan, Liu Rengui, Cheng Wuting, Li Xiaoyi either supported or acquiesced.How many truly capable ministers in the court support Webster?In the list of talents listed by Xiang Wanghua, except for Wei Anshi, who is from the Wei family, almost no one supports Webster.It's not that he doesn't support it, it's that Webster's wrist is not enough to recruit.
Secondly, Wu Zetian raised four sons for the first emperor. Webster did raise them, but none of them survived.
The last thing is to love the people, whether it is sincere or false, the people are not very disgusted with Wu Zetian, on the contrary, Webster's party is now committing crimes, and the common people wish they could strip the flesh of these people.
Thinking about it this way, Webster probably failed in the end.
But this made her start to wonder, because Wang Hua held it high and lightly this time, did some kind of agreement be made in the middle?
If Wang Hua supported Webster, Webster would still succeed in the end.
So I wrote a letter to Wang Hua, but Wang Hua replied with a letter, saying that big changes are coming, pack your luggage and listen to my arrangements at any time.If you are greedy for wealth and honor again, I will not be able to keep your ears.To put it bluntly, you won't even be able to save your life.
Only then did I take the letter and find this cousin.
After Wang Yu read the letter, he looked at this beautiful cousin in surprise. He didn't expect that she had an affair with Wang Hua.
Shangguan Xiaowan was also very proud, but the business was important, she asked: "Cousin, what do you think I should do?"
"What should we do?" Wang Yu smiled wryly, and said, "Auntie and you, as well as Shanggong Chai and He Lou in the palace, Wu Wuying'er, the lady of Longxi, Zhao, the queen's sister, Mrs. Yiguo, Changning Princess, what have you done to live a luxurious life?"
Shangguan Xiaowan's face flushed. If she wanted to be extravagant, she had to have money, but how did she get this money? She had to embezzle and accept bribes, did many illegal things, or sold officials to buy nobles.At the beginning, an ordinary viscount and baron that Wang Hua ordered needed hundreds of thousands of money, firstly to promote the status of a businessman, and secondly to generate income for the treasury, but now they were sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars.The whole difference is a thousand times.Although Wang Hua gave her a large sum of money, she still did some bad things herself.Relatively speaking, Li Gu'er was better. Of course, her enjoyment was provided by Wang Hua, and it didn't disturb the people.
Wang Yu sneered again: "But Wang Hua, who I know, treats the people with great love and compassion. If you want to join him, your safety will be guaranteed, but you can imagine the people who are like fish and meat now, I'm afraid you absolutely can't."
"Cousin, I don't know these things, it's all done by my subordinates," Shangguan Xiaowan cunningly said.
Wang Yu didn't listen to her explanation at all, and continued: "Or take this letter and hand it to the queen, and I can give you a credit."
"That nonsense you said!" Shangguan Xiaowan tapped him on the head with her hand.
It's a credit, without this letter, Shangguan Xiaowan would not be able to guess Wang Hua's mind, but with this letter, she immediately knew that Wang Hua was playing hide-and-seek with Webster.As long as it is given to Wei Shi, Wang Hua's plan can be destroyed immediately.Maybe for Webster?
Why did you have a secret relationship with Wang Hua?Even if he made a great contribution, he might be killed by Webster's hands immediately.
But then he said sadly: "I am already old."
In fact, she is a bit older, but with proper maintenance and her natural beauty, if she puts on makeup and some cover-ups, she will only look like she is nodding a little in her thirties.But compared with Wang Hua's age, he is indeed a little older.
She said frankly that she joined Wang Hua because she had an affair with Wang Hua, and now she can still see it. In a few years, Wang Hua will only be 30 years old, but what about herself?Really Wang Hua is Dou Congyi, willing to marry an old mother back to be his wife?
Wang Yu giggled, this cousin of mine didn't know what she was thinking, she actually wanted to be with Wang Hua forever?
He shook his head and said: "Wrong, your strength is not your appearance. No matter how beautiful you are, you will never surpass Princess Anle and that Persian princess. I think Wang Hua only values you because of your talent. Think Think about it, let’s go to the south.”
"South?" After Shangguan Xiaowan asked, she immediately realized that Wang Yu's south is not Lingnan, but Oceania, where there are millions of people, and it can be said that it will soon become an independent country.Talent governance is also required.
"Another way to send you, Princess Anle." After saying these words, Wang Yu pushed her out of the door.Enough, my cousin already knows how to do it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Webster also found Li Gu'er.
Although she made many precise arrangements, she was still not at ease.
If Wang Hua supports her, great things will happen.Even if you don't support it, if you express your acquiescence, it will have a huge shocking power, but all of this, alone still cannot make up for the cracks that occurred in the first place.
But now this precious daughter of myself is very different from her.
Therefore, there is only persuasion slowly, but fortunately time is not urgent.
After dismissing the people around, Webster asked: "Wang Hua is going to marry the young lady of the Wang family in Taiyuan soon in Lingzhou, Bao'er, have you heard?"
"Marry Wang Han?" Li Bao'er called out. Although she was somewhat prepared in her heart, she couldn't help feeling a great loss in her heart.
"But this is good news. Wang Hua married Wang Han. This is a tacit agreement between him and the Taiyuan Wang family a few years ago. But why didn't he marry the little princess?"
Li Bao'er gritted her teeth and kept silent, thinking in her heart, if you hadn't destroyed it, then these things would have happened, and now she would have married Wang Hua long ago.
Webster ignored her expression and continued: "Bazhou has now reached an agreement with the imperial court. The Turkic people are taken away by him, leaving only the Tubo people. The army will withdraw. I believe that the Tubo people don't have to worry about it. With his current power, if he asks for marriage again, it will be too late for the king to welcome him, right?"
Li Bao'er thought to himself, this is nonsense, if he objected, King Xiang would have sent someone to Lingzhou to beg for the little princess.This is not in Fengzhou. For this cousin, he has been impeached by the officials during this period.Didn't he value the power in Erlang's hand and want to use this cousin to win Erlang over?
"Gu told you one thing. Gu asked Wei Pushe to send a message to Wang Hua, allowing him to marry you."
Li Gu'er snorted coldly, but remained silent.
"I know that you don't believe me, but if you think about Wang Hua's willingness to marry the young lady of the Wang family in Taiyuan, you don't connect it with the little princess. Think about it."
"Queen, just say what you want, don't go around in circles."
"Bao'er, why are you so stupid? I only have two daughters, you and Changning, and no other children. But your elder sister is not as smart as you, so I want to make you the empress dowager alone. I know, I used to do it alone. Not well, I listened to Zong Chuke's instigation and thought that Wang Hua wanted to plot against Gu Tu, so he ambushed him in the palace. But think about it, why did Gu help him when he was releasing food before. This The misunderstanding is serious, but it is still a misunderstanding. Gu also sent Wei Pushe to explain it clearly. And you have not thought of another thing. If you are established as the crown prince, who will be the emperor after a hundred years with Gu and His Majesty? Then you After a hundred years with Wang Hua, who will be the emperor?"
These words are full of incomparable temptation, the one who will be the emperor is naturally Li Bao'er.As the emperor, Li Bao'er undoubtedly listened to Wang's paintings.And when they are old, the successor must be their son.
Wei Shi added fuel to the fire, and said, "This time, do you know why Gu must have Zhaolang's surname Li?"
In fact, this is not the case. What she lacks the most is blood. She cannot squander her four sons like Wu Zesan.Therefore, even though he did not have an orthodox bloodline, he had no choice but to use Li Gu'er's children to cover up his ugliness.Moreover, he was brought up by his side since he was a child, and he will always have feelings for himself in the future, and this bloodline can continue to be passed on.
The future successor will definitely not be Li Bao'er, but it is very likely to be Wang Zhaolang.
Li Bao'er finally raised his head and asked, "Queen Mother, do you really think so?"
"I don't think so, how can I conjure up a child to continue the foundation of Gu and His Majesty?"
Li Bao'er lowered his head, thought for a while, and asked, "Then why did you send someone to arrest me and prevent me from communicating with Erlang?"
"Wang Hua, it's not that you don't know. He has a fierce personality, can he hold his breath? But this matter is not urgent. You should think about it again and give Gu an answer." Webster wanted to leave after speaking.
Li Bao'er came back to his senses and asked: "Then mother, why did you treat Father Emperor badly and take his power away?"
"You ask Gu, who do you ask? Who agreed to take the throne and let me do it? It was your father. Your father didn't care about things, so Gu had to deal with some government affairs for him. The ministers were not convinced, and they made trouble for Gu. .Actually, do you believe what they say? They are not helping your father, they are helping Xiangwang, and they are helping Princess Taiping. Only by provoking Gu and your father to disagree, they have the opportunity to support Xiangwang to the throne. Your father doesn’t understand This truth, don’t you understand this truth?” Now that Li Gu’er asked this, Webster sat down again, looked at Li Gu’er’s disbelieving eyes, and continued: “I know what you are talking about, is it Wei Wei? A few members of the family served as prime ministers in the court. But have you ever thought about what position Changsun Wuji was in when the Empress Changsun was alive? What was the Wu family like when the Empress Dowager was alive? Could it be wrong for the Wei family to enjoy such a little glory when the Empress Dowager was born? ? Just like when Zhaolang married a queen in the future, wouldn’t it be okay to use a few members of the queen’s natal family as prime ministers? In the end, they were jealous.”
"What is an enemy and what is a friend? What was Wang Hua and the Taiyuan Wang family like at the beginning, and what is it like now? Don't believe the words of some ministers. They are all thinking about their own interests and the interests of their masters. Only their masters It is your father who is obsessed with ghosts now. Do you also learn from your father? How can this let Gu let you be the empress dowager. God, do you want that girl in Changning to be the empress dowager?"
Li Bao'er was a little confused after going around, she said, "Let me think about it again."
"Okay, think about it slowly," Webster finished and left, but before leaving the door, he gave a vicious look at the eunuchs and palace maids standing at the door, scaring them into wits.
As soon as Webster left in the front, Li Bao'er in the back became furious, called several of his subordinates over, and asked scoldingly, "Wang Hua married the young lady of the Wang family in Lingzhou, why didn't you tell Gu?"
One by one was too frightened to make a sound.
Just like what Wang Hua said when he talked with Li Long, Webster's initial rights were given by Li Xian.Li Gu'er's rights were given by Li Xian and Webster.Although she spent some money, many of her confidants left one after another after Li Xian and Webster put her under house arrest in a disguised form.
These subordinates are considered her most caring subordinates.
A eunuch boldly replied: "Your Highness, this servant is afraid that you will be angry if you hear it."
"So Gu isn't angry now?" Li Bao'er angrily threw away the things in the room.
At this moment, one of her personal servants walked up to her and whispered to her: "Shangguan Zhaorong is in her other courtyard. I have invited Her Royal Highness to come over. But you must not reveal that she called you over."
Shangguan Xiaowan also acted helplessly, because she was afraid of Wei Shi's suspicion, so she didn't dare to look for Li Bao'er.Even if I look for Li Gu'er now, I dare not come here, even if I invite her to go, I can't let anyone know.Of course, when Li Baoer came to the door, that was another matter.Even if Li Gu'er wanted to go to Webster's bedroom, Webster couldn't stop him.
So she thought for a while, she couldn't find Li Gu'er, but those people around Li Gu'er were Webster's insiders, and she was very clear about those who were Li Gu'er's real confidantes.So let his confidantes find Li Guer's real confidants, and hand over this sentence.
Li Gu'er was stunned for a moment, but still came to Shangguan Xiaowan's other courtyard.
Shangguan Xiaowan had been waiting for a long time, and when they met, Li Bao'er asked his servants to leave, and asked directly, "What orders does Zhao Rong have for me?"
"Your Highness, don't dare. Have you heard something? Wang Hua is marrying the young lady of the Wang family in Lingzhou."
Li Bao'er was feeling unhappy about this matter, and when she heard it, her expression immediately became pale, and she said, "The queen mother told me earlier."
Shangguan Xiaowan was also stunned for a moment. It is not surprising that Li Baoer heard the news. Why did Wei Shi want to inform her, but she was originally a delicate person, so she guessed it immediately and asked: "Did the queen say that you Do you want to be a princess?"
"Yes."
"Then make Zhaolang the emperor's grandson."
"Yes."
"Then let you marry Wang Hua."
"Yes."
"Will the princess marry in Chang'an, in Luoyang, or in Lingzhou?"
"Naturally in Chang'an or Luoyang," Li Gu'er replied puzzled.According to his mother, Wang Hua will be the "Emperor Tainan" in the future, how could he still stay in Lingzhou.
"Okay, let me ask you another question. Now that Wang Hua is in Lingzhou, does anyone dare to assassinate him or kill him?"
Li Gu'er began to wake up.
Who dares to kill Wang Hua now?But when he was in Luoyang and Chang'an, he was assassinated many times and plotted many times.Why?Because he was just a civil servant in the capital, a widow, not in Lingzhou, even if he was in the blood camp back then, no one dared to touch him.
But she asked puzzledly, "Why do you say these things?"
"I just want you and Wang Hua to have a happy future in the future, and don't let the bad things happen again. But I have a question for you. For Wang Hua's safety, would you like to marry Ling Ling?" State, or Oceania?"
Li Guer had a hesitant look on his face.
Shangguan Xiaowan shook her head: "If I were Wang Hua, I would leave you alone, or I would kill you sooner or later."
"Zhaorong, why did you say that?"
"He is the king and the sky in Lingzhou. Once he comes to Luoyang or Chang'an, he will die without a burial place."
"No, the queen made peace with him."
"Tan He, you are so naive, let me ask you again, what's the result of Pei Yan? What's the result of Cheng Wuting? What's the result of Li Xiaoyi?"
These people all supported Wu Zetian's position, but once Wu Zetian's status stabilized, he killed them with knives one after another.
Li Gu'er was so frightened that she remembered that Wang Hua had asked her many times if she would be willing to take her out of the capital.As a result, every time he answered why he left the capital, Wang Hua didn't say anything, but he was faintly disappointed.
"Is there no other way?"
"No, my mind is not as smart as your Erlang's. He can't even figure it out. How can I figure it out. I called you here because I want to say one thing. Has Wang Hua sent someone to contact you for many years? I've missed you. It's a big event for him to marry the young lady of the Wang family, have you been notified?"
"He has no way to inform me," Li Bao'er felt very guilty when she said this, she thought in her heart, could it be that Erlang started to change his mind about her because of his mother?
"Want to know why?"
Li Baoer nodded silently.
"Because when the queen killed Wang Hua that night, she talked with Wang Hua and talked about many things about you," so Shangguan Xiaowan narrated part of the conversation between Webster and Wang Hua that night.Now she is the second most popular person in the palace, most people think she is Webster's confidant, it is not difficult to get the inside story of that night.
Li Bao'er's face changed when she heard that, her mother said such a thing, no wonder Wang Hua didn't contact her, it turned out that she began to doubt herself.But she looked at Shangguan Xiaowan suspiciously, and asked, "Why did you tell me?"
In her eyes, Shangguan Xiaowan is also someone close to her mother.
Shangguan Xiaowan took out Wang Hua's letter.
Li Bao'er looked at it, his face became even more angry, and asked: "What is your relationship with Erlang?"
Shangguan Xiaowan thought to herself, at this time, you are still jealous.She replied: "Wuhe, when your mother wanted to kill Wang Hua, I woke him up. Only then did he prepare for the safe transfer of his family."
Speaking of this, Shangguan Xiaowan remembered another thing, which was also what Webster talked with Wang Hua that night, and said, "Do you know how your first child was miscarried?"
"A miscarriage is a miscarriage, what is the reason?"
"Wrong, that's because the queen sent someone to secretly put the medicinal materials for abortion in your food."
"Impossible!" Li Gu'er screamed, and said, "Then why is Zhaolang safe and sound?"
"The reason is very simple. Your mother wanted to win Wu Sansi for the first time. You and Wang Hua didn't know the reason for the miscarriage. You didn't offend Wang Hua, and you also saved Wu Sansi's face. After all, his daughter-in-law was pregnant with someone else's child. It's not very nice to hear about it. But the second time your majesty ascended the throne, it was Wu Sanji who needed the support of the queen, so there is no need to take away your child. I said this, just to tell you that the most pitiful birth is in the emperor's family. Although The queen likes you, but she is still just a cute pawn."
"Then why did you tell me? And why did you save Erlang?"
"Did you see what was written in this letter? I also want to live. To save Wang Hua, I want to save another life." This is also the truth, and Shangguan Xiaowan replied very frankly.
"You said that my mother's queen is going to kill my father?"
Shangguan Xiaowan shook her head, this can't be said, as soon as Li Bao'er said it, she would jump up, which didn't help the matter, but instead ruined Wang Hua's affairs, and might even drag herself into the water.She said: "No, there are many possibilities. Now there is Princess Taiping, King Xiang, your father, and your mother. The political situation is very unstable. What Wang Hua meant, or you can write a letter yourself to ask him. I will bring it for you, and I will explain it for you by the way, so as to clear up the misunderstanding between you. But still the same sentence, if Wang Hua needs it, are you nostalgic for the prosperity of the capital, or are you willing to travel all over the world with him?"
There is no need to doubt Li Baoer's feelings for Wang Hua, but if she can't let go of the prosperity of the capital, it will be a bit difficult to handle.Don't switch to the honorable first princess of the Tang Dynasty, even if you are a little bit reluctant to give up.If this is the case, I should prepare to flee immediately, otherwise if so much information is leaked, there will be no way out.
After speaking, he nervously watched how Li Bao'er made a decision.After the decision is over, there is one more thing to do, to convince her that she can't let her think wildly, and must pretend that she doesn't know anything.Only then will there be a chance for both of them to get out of trouble.
(End of this chapter)
The weather gradually cooled down, and in the morning, there were layers of silver pearls in the fields outside Luoyang City, rolling like pearls on the grass leaves.
Li Longji came galloping with several people on horseback, without missing the beautiful scenery, he immediately entered Luoyang City.
Wang Hua's army retreated and an agreement was reached. Although the court paid a huge price, Wang Hua accepted the official position of the court and at the same time allowed court officials to station in Linglan Shuzhou, which was regarded as being recruited by the court.This made the people breathe a sigh of relief.
But they didn't know that a bigger event was about to begin.
Li Xian's long-awaited awakening made some Qingliu ministers see hope.However, Wei's party still occupies the mainstream in the court, and the four Wei knock on the door, not to mention, many other figures are ambiguous with Webster's, and there are dozens of Webster's children sharing various important positions.In addition to these people, Zhang Jiafu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Cen Xi, Minister of Zhongshu, Wu Yanxiu, Taichang Qing, Zhao Luwen, Secretary of Agriculture, Ye Nengjing, Minister of the State Jijiu, Cui Riyong, Minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Yong, Secretary Supervisor, and Dou Cong, the doctor of imperial history First, Li Chengjia, Ji Chuna, Gan Yuanjian, Ran Zumin, Li Jun and others from the original Wu Sansi parties all turned to Webster after Wu Sansi's death. These ministers successively held various important positions in the court.
If it hadn't been for Wang Hua's coercion, which killed Zhou Yong and the Zong brothers, the Wei Party would have been even more powerful.
So under Zhang Jiazhen's suggestion, Li Xian made two imperial edicts, the first one was to let Li Longji come back.At this time, we must put aside our prejudices. Brothers are of one heart, and their profits can cut through gold. Brothers fight against the wall, and their families are ruined.It's hard to say the next sentence clearly. If you want to beat your wife, you still need your sister and brother. You can't count on others.
Because of this imperial decree, Li Longji returned to Luoyang from Luzhou in a fair manner.
The second imperial decree is to let Song Jing return to Beijing and serve as the servant of the household department and the third rank of Tong Zhongshu.
However, Li Dan thought that this edict was issued too hastily, and the Ministry of Officials was in charge of the evaluation of the selection and award of hundreds of officials, which was the first of the six departments.This is a very important department. For example, now, in order to control the court, Webster appointed his confidant Zhang Xi to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Cui Shi, another sycophant, served as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Tong Ping Zhangshi.
This is an important piece of cheese, even no less than a position of prime minister. Besides, Da Song himself is upright, and a servant of the staff with a position is even more jealous of Webster's followers.
It is precisely because of this imperial decree that Li Dan is very worried.
As soon as Li Longji came back, Li Dan pulled him into the study and explained the situation.
Li Longji frowned and asked: "But the emperor is now in his prime, don't they?"
"I'm just afraid that they will do this." How to do it, the two of them didn't mention it, but they were born in the deep palace, and after going through various methods of Lao Wu, they knew what to do.
"Is there no way?"
"This is difficult. The minister is better off. The main reason is that the Habayashi Army is all in the hands of the Zhu Wei brothers."
Hearing this sentence, Li Longji was very angry. If it weren't for Wang Hua, Webster would not have come to a big cleansing.Like at this time, what army is the most important. Wang Hua's blood camp is full of floating clouds and magical horses. If he wants to fight Luoyang layer by layer, all the tea will be cold.
There is only the Habayashi Army.
At the beginning of the Shenlong coup, it was because of the control of the Habayashi Army that the five kings and the father king succeeded.During Li Chongjun's coup, things started in a hurry, otherwise it would be a few hundred Yulin army, maybe it would make him a big deal.
"There's no rush for this, Gu quietly invited someone over."
"Who?"
"Gallis."
"Very good," Li Longji replied immediately.
Gao Lishi is a descendant of the Feng family in Lingnan. His family was confiscated due to the crime of implicating others. He was castrated and sent to the palace since he was a child. He was adopted by the middleman Gao Yanfu, so he changed his surname to Gao.Although this man was an eunuch, he was able to do both civil and military affairs, and he was loyal and loyal, so some people called him the most virtuous eunuch in Chinese history.
Once Wu Zetian was expelled from the palace due to minor faults, and later because of Gao Yanfu's friendship with Wu Sansi, he was able to be reintroduced into the palace, worrying about the imperial court.
He is also one of Li Longji's best friends. As his talent, he is also worthy of Li Longji's association.Although he is a eunuch, Li Dan and his son respect him very much.
Mentioning Gao Lishi, Li Shengji said: "It's just right, my son introduced the two to my father and king."
As he spoke, two big men came in, the first one was Wang Maozhong, who was originally a slave, and even Li Dan didn't pay attention to it. It wasn't until Li Longji went to Luzhou that his talent and bravery gradually appeared in front of Li Longji like gold. Cited as Li Longji's right-hand man.The other person, Li Yide, was recommended by a celebrity when Li Longji was in Luzhou. He was a servant of a rich family, but he was nimble and good at riding and shooting. He was a hero, so Li Longji bought him for [-] yuan.
Two people came in to salute, and Li Dan immediately helped them up.
After the incident of Wang Hua, Li Dan can no longer underestimate the heroes of the world.Since they can enter the eyes of the son, these two people are not ordinary people.
Li Longji whispered again: "I also brought back three hundred elite soldiers. They will arrive later, and I will arrange them in a manor outside the city."
"Well done," Li Dan said with relief.
This is real power, power that is truly in your hands.
But then a cloud appeared on his face again.
Even with these 300 people, the manpower is still too small, and unlike the Habayashi Army, they can easily approach the palace.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but resent himself as the third brother, who had been emperor for several years, what exactly did he do?
But the matter has come to this point, so he had to think of another solution, he asked: "Ji'er, have you figured out those two questions?"
Li Longji shook his head blankly, asked Zhang Shuo, Zhang Jiazhen, and even wrote to Da Song, but he couldn't answer.I have thought of countless answers, but they are also plausible. Of course, this is definitely not the answer Wang Hua needs.
Li Dan also frowned, and said to himself: "What is the answer?"
Both father and son pondered, if they get Wang Hua's help, the current difficulties will no longer be difficult.
First of all, Wang Hua's prestige, he sent troops for himself, it's hard to say, if he supports that side to participate in the battle for the throne, and the nature becomes King Qin, then the front of the soldiers will be sharper.
In fact, none of this is necessary. As long as he sends out a thousand elite soldiers and uses Li Dan's relationship to send them to Luoyang, and bring those dozens of small cannons, the overall situation will be settled.
It's not that only Wang Hua had soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, there were more soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, but people's hearts are unpredictable now, that is, Guo Yuanzhen and Xue Na's soldiers may not have Webster's followers.Even if there is no such thing, there may be a possibility of coveting the powerful and informing Webster.If it happened, not to mention the big things, my father and son would still be in disaster.
Only Wang Hua's soldiers are reliable, they almost rebelled, how could they be Webster's henchmen.Even if there were, Wang Hua's old blood camp, the party members and Tuyuhun recruited from Jishishan and Dafeichuan would not have Webster's party members.
In fact, Li Dan regrets his behavior very much now.
After a while, Li Dan said: "Ji'er, I think you should go to Lingzhou, it just so happens that Wang Hua is going to marry that little lady of the Wang family soon, please congratulate me and then give him a clear promise. "
As he said something in his ear, Li Longji said in surprise: "How is this possible?"
"In the current situation, what's the difference between giving and not giving? The situation is not that bad. Maybe he will feel embarrassed and take the initiative to hand it over at that time." Speaking of this, Li Dan looked worried: "If you are alone, even if you give He won't accept this benefit."
Li Longji smiled wryly. Others could guess it, but it was really difficult for Wang Hua to guess. The two possibilities his father said could happen.
Suddenly he remembered, and asked in surprise: "Father, what did you say just now? Wang Hua is going to marry the young lady of the Wang family?"
If Wang Hua marries Wang Han, how will his ninth younger sister be arranged?
Li Dan shook his head and said: "You still regard Wang Hua as a courtier? This time, marrying the young lady of the Wang family has nothing to do with your sister. On the contrary, I heard that many people in the blood camp regard your sister as their mother. This It's the only good news we have right now."
Li Longji was at a loss for words for a while, if his father's promise just now was fulfilled, Wang Hua could have two children, and there would be no problem with the placement of the young lady of the Wang family.But thinking of this, he thought of another question that made him gossip, what happened to Wang Hua and that cousin in the palace now?
Li Dan is going to talk to him about this issue.
Li Dan added: "Wang Hua didn't mention your Xiaojiu's marriage. The main reason is that the overall situation is still uncertain. Besides, Gu is very worried. He intends to indulge the queen."
Li Longji felt strange at first, but then he realized that when he married Jiumei, Webster might think that Li Guer's trump card would not work.Now only by making Webster misunderstand, Webster can attack the emperor.Of course, it is an opportunity for me, although there are risks, but it is not like this, my father and son will never have a good reputation, and their words will not go well.But it is also an opportunity for Wang Hua.
But……?
Li Dan also had a sullen face. If this is the case, it will be really bad news for the Li clan.
He sighed and said, "I hope he still misses Princess An Le."
If Wang Hua can choose even Li Guer now, he can start to achieve great things if he puts it nicely, and if he puts it badly, he can really become an ambitious man.
Only then did Li Longji understand why Li Dan agreed to Wang Hua's promise.
At this time, Gao Lishi quietly came to Xiangwang's mansion.
Seeing Li Longji, Gao Lishi rushed over joyfully, and said happily, "My lord, how have you been?"
"It's okay, how is Lux in the palace?"
"Okay, I just miss my son and want to kill my servant."
"Gu also misses you very much," Li Longji warmly welcomed him in and ordered tea to be served.
Li Dan retreated knowingly, and let his son talk to this elegant and handsome eunuch alone.
Li Longji and Gao Lishi first talked about the local conditions and customs of Luzhou, and then went straight to the point. Gao Lishi said: "My son, the situation is not good now."
"Lishi, why do you say that?"
"Since the emperor issued an order for Song Shilang to return to the capital to be his chancellor, the imperial guards in the palace have been mobilized frequently, and the servants are very worried that something will happen."
This was also bad news that couldn't be worse. Li Longji was very close to him and didn't hide it. He asked directly: "Lishi, what can I do?"
"Difficult, difficult, difficult," this is a very talented person, and it is really difficult for him to say three difficult words in a row.After finishing speaking, he said: "It's mainly the imperial army."
"Gu was also discussing this issue with my father just now, but I don't know how to resolve it, so my father sent someone to invite you here quietly."
"My lord, these servants are also planning for my lord these days, so I don't know what cards my lord has in my hand?" Gao Lishi asked.
Li Longji also said it without concealment, and Gao Lishi shook his head after hearing this: "It's too thin."
"Gu also knows that it's too thin, but the only way out now is to find a trustworthy person. It's very difficult. What can I do? It's these three hundred tigers, who were trained carefully and quietly, lest they be caught by others. Find."
"Let this servant think about it," Gao Lishi lowered his head in thought, and said after a while, "There is a way. What are the talents of Wang Maozhong and Li Yide you mentioned?"
"These two are the enemy of a hundred people, and they are clever."
"There is always a chance. Although Zhu Wei controls the Habayashi Army, some of the Wei family's children are very cruel to his subordinates. But you also know, my son, that the generals of the Habayashi Army who guard the safety of the palace are all from wealthy families, so some generals are very dissatisfied. Wang Maozhong and Wang Maozhong are very familiar in the capital, the prince can give them some spare money, let them transform into other identities, and serve as a bridge between them, so that they can make friends with these generals. Whether it can be done, it can only be said that it is up to the sky."
"Lishi, your idea is good."
Gao Lishi shook his head: "It still doesn't work. The main reason is that the Habayashi Army cleaned up too much in the past few years. Even if they recruited some people, their strength is still too weak. But there is one person, the prince can borrow from him."
"Who?"
"My lord, guess."
"Zhang said?"
"No, he's just a civil servant. Now he has clashed with Zhu Wei many times, and he can't take care of himself. How can he help you?"
"Guo Yuanzhen?"
"What's more, although this person is a frontier officer and has made great achievements recently, he is tactful, so he may not be willing to take this risk to help the prince." Gao Lishi spoke from his heart, but this sentence doomed Guo Yuanzhen's tragedy.
"Who then?"
"Wang Hua."
"Wang Hua? Lishi, I know that he helped the Xian family and your Feng family when he was in Qinzhou, and you have spoken well to Gu on his behalf many times. But now, do you expect him to help me? Don't you know that he and your family Contradictions with my father? Contradictions with me?"
"My son, you can't cover your eyes with one leaf. The servant is outside the game and can see clearly. He also hopes that the country will be strong and the people rich, but how has the court treated him in the past few years? The servant only said one thing. It can be said that Tubo’s enmity is for the sake of Princess Jincheng, and to establish a righteous name. But why is he so desperate with Turkic? Doesn’t he know how powerful the enemy who has established Mochuu is?”
This statement reminded Li Longji of another matter. Song Jing mentioned one matter to him in the letter. There seems to be a difference between the state and the imperial court that Wang Hua said.And it also vaguely mentioned that this country is a country of tens of millions of Chinese people, not the country of the Li family, the Cao family, and the Liu family.
Before Wei Yuanzhong died, he also mentioned this matter to his father.
This made him feel that it seemed to have a great relationship with Wang Hua's two questions, but when he really thought about it, he couldn't think of an answer.
At this time Gao Lishi said again: "In the final analysis, Zhang Jiazhen was in a hurry this time, and he was too hasty in calling Song Shilang, or he was transferred back to the capital, and he was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and not the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Maybe it is not so big. Storm. I don’t know why the emperor agreed.”
Speaking of this, he was a little sarcasm, because Song Jing and Wang Hua had a very close relationship, and this time not only Xin Wang Hua rebelled?If I knew this earlier, why did I send troops to Lingzhou in the first place?
Li Longji suddenly said at this time: "I have two questions for you."
Talking about the source of Wang Hua's two questions, maybe this wise eunuch can find the answer.
"How to be a good emperor? The biggest drawback of the Tang Dynasty?" Gao Lishi murmured.If it were an ordinary person, many answers would have come out long ago.But at the level of Zhang Shuo, Gao Lishi, and Zhang Jiazhen, they knew that it was not the same thing.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head: "I can't figure it out. But I know this is good news."
"Why do you say that?"
"Why does he ask you how to be a good emperor? If he wants to be an emperor himself, why should he ask you? If it's not for his blood and orthodoxy, I believe that if he is an emperor, he will not be a bad emperor."
Although Li Longji was dissatisfied, he had to admit that Gao Lishi's words made sense.
"However, time is running out now, Shizi can do one thing immediately while thinking about the answer."
"What's the matter?"
"If you use people, there are no more than three kinds. Use people with authority. The court has rules and regulations, and the army has military laws to force soldiers, officials, and common people to obey their orders. This is also the most inferior method of employing people. Sometimes it backfires, so soldiers have appeared many times in history. Mutiny, rebellion by courtiers, and rebellion by the people. Secondly, using people to repay favors. This is not the best way to employ people. If you are blindly gentle, it is easy to make people look down. Among them, the best is the combination of Wang Hua and the major families. , help each other in the same boat, so they are tied to the same boat. But if the situation changes and the greater interests are in front of us, there will still be a rebellion. So the superior, using both kindness and strength, is a clever way of employing people. But it is not the best Yes, the best thing is to convince people with virtue. For example, King Wu of Zhou used Jiang Ziya, Duke Huan of Qi used Guan Zhong, Liu Bei used Zhuge Liang, and Fu Jian used Wang Meng."
Li Longji already understood what he meant.
Gao Lishi said: "There is no unbreakable ice in the world. It depends on whether the sun is hot enough. My son, go to Lingzhou. Only Wang Hua's consent is the only real way to solve this crisis. It has nothing to do with Lingnan. "
The last five characters are joking with Li Longji.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At this time in Luoyang, Li Dan's family was definitely not the only one conspiring and deliberating, but they stood at the highest point in the political arena and saw more clearly and farther.
Countless dignitaries gathered together to discuss various conspiracies and schemes.
At the same time, in Shangguan Xiaowan's mansion, Shangguan Xiaowan was also discussing with someone, her aunt's son Wang Yu.
At that time, she cited Wang Yu as Zuo's collection, and Wang Yu said a word to Shangguan Xiaowan's concubine Zheng's mother: "Wu, the heavens have abolished it, and it can't be prosperous. Today, Jieyu is attached to Wu and thinks twice. This is an extermination of the family." way."
Mrs. Zheng persuaded Shangguan Xiaowan, but Shangguan Xiaowan refused.
After Wang Hua woke up, she became suspicious in her heart. Of course, the reason for this was Wu Sansi was killed by Li Chongjun.People can still think of the handsome old Wu Sansi when they are alive, but they will die when they die.It's not that Wang Hua is not very attractive, it's because Wang Hua didn't really put his heart on her.
The relationship between the two is not so much about feelings as it is about joining forces to protect themselves and need each other.
In fact, she has been secretly getting close to Princess Taiping.
Even though she knew that Wang Hua and Princess Taiping were at odds (she didn't know about Princess Taiping and Wang Hua), she still didn't cut off contact.There is no way, in order to survive, I have to cunning.
Li Xian pressed on step by step, and Shangguan Xiaowan also realized that Webster's attack might be going on.
She pondered for a while, comparing Webster and Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian promoted all the warriors to defend his own strength.Webster promoted Zhu Wei and surrendered his own strength.He also controlled the Habayashi Army, and also controlled many ministers in the court.In other words, Webster is walking the same path as Wu Zetian.
But not the same?
Wang Hua also talked about this issue, first of all is the method, Wu Zetian's method is unpredictable, the important generals Pei Yan, Liu Rengui, Cheng Wuting, Li Xiaoyi either supported or acquiesced.How many truly capable ministers in the court support Webster?In the list of talents listed by Xiang Wanghua, except for Wei Anshi, who is from the Wei family, almost no one supports Webster.It's not that he doesn't support it, it's that Webster's wrist is not enough to recruit.
Secondly, Wu Zetian raised four sons for the first emperor. Webster did raise them, but none of them survived.
The last thing is to love the people, whether it is sincere or false, the people are not very disgusted with Wu Zetian, on the contrary, Webster's party is now committing crimes, and the common people wish they could strip the flesh of these people.
Thinking about it this way, Webster probably failed in the end.
But this made her start to wonder, because Wang Hua held it high and lightly this time, did some kind of agreement be made in the middle?
If Wang Hua supported Webster, Webster would still succeed in the end.
So I wrote a letter to Wang Hua, but Wang Hua replied with a letter, saying that big changes are coming, pack your luggage and listen to my arrangements at any time.If you are greedy for wealth and honor again, I will not be able to keep your ears.To put it bluntly, you won't even be able to save your life.
Only then did I take the letter and find this cousin.
After Wang Yu read the letter, he looked at this beautiful cousin in surprise. He didn't expect that she had an affair with Wang Hua.
Shangguan Xiaowan was also very proud, but the business was important, she asked: "Cousin, what do you think I should do?"
"What should we do?" Wang Yu smiled wryly, and said, "Auntie and you, as well as Shanggong Chai and He Lou in the palace, Wu Wuying'er, the lady of Longxi, Zhao, the queen's sister, Mrs. Yiguo, Changning Princess, what have you done to live a luxurious life?"
Shangguan Xiaowan's face flushed. If she wanted to be extravagant, she had to have money, but how did she get this money? She had to embezzle and accept bribes, did many illegal things, or sold officials to buy nobles.At the beginning, an ordinary viscount and baron that Wang Hua ordered needed hundreds of thousands of money, firstly to promote the status of a businessman, and secondly to generate income for the treasury, but now they were sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars.The whole difference is a thousand times.Although Wang Hua gave her a large sum of money, she still did some bad things herself.Relatively speaking, Li Gu'er was better. Of course, her enjoyment was provided by Wang Hua, and it didn't disturb the people.
Wang Yu sneered again: "But Wang Hua, who I know, treats the people with great love and compassion. If you want to join him, your safety will be guaranteed, but you can imagine the people who are like fish and meat now, I'm afraid you absolutely can't."
"Cousin, I don't know these things, it's all done by my subordinates," Shangguan Xiaowan cunningly said.
Wang Yu didn't listen to her explanation at all, and continued: "Or take this letter and hand it to the queen, and I can give you a credit."
"That nonsense you said!" Shangguan Xiaowan tapped him on the head with her hand.
It's a credit, without this letter, Shangguan Xiaowan would not be able to guess Wang Hua's mind, but with this letter, she immediately knew that Wang Hua was playing hide-and-seek with Webster.As long as it is given to Wei Shi, Wang Hua's plan can be destroyed immediately.Maybe for Webster?
Why did you have a secret relationship with Wang Hua?Even if he made a great contribution, he might be killed by Webster's hands immediately.
But then he said sadly: "I am already old."
In fact, she is a bit older, but with proper maintenance and her natural beauty, if she puts on makeup and some cover-ups, she will only look like she is nodding a little in her thirties.But compared with Wang Hua's age, he is indeed a little older.
She said frankly that she joined Wang Hua because she had an affair with Wang Hua, and now she can still see it. In a few years, Wang Hua will only be 30 years old, but what about herself?Really Wang Hua is Dou Congyi, willing to marry an old mother back to be his wife?
Wang Yu giggled, this cousin of mine didn't know what she was thinking, she actually wanted to be with Wang Hua forever?
He shook his head and said: "Wrong, your strength is not your appearance. No matter how beautiful you are, you will never surpass Princess Anle and that Persian princess. I think Wang Hua only values you because of your talent. Think Think about it, let’s go to the south.”
"South?" After Shangguan Xiaowan asked, she immediately realized that Wang Yu's south is not Lingnan, but Oceania, where there are millions of people, and it can be said that it will soon become an independent country.Talent governance is also required.
"Another way to send you, Princess Anle." After saying these words, Wang Yu pushed her out of the door.Enough, my cousin already knows how to do it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Webster also found Li Gu'er.
Although she made many precise arrangements, she was still not at ease.
If Wang Hua supports her, great things will happen.Even if you don't support it, if you express your acquiescence, it will have a huge shocking power, but all of this, alone still cannot make up for the cracks that occurred in the first place.
But now this precious daughter of myself is very different from her.
Therefore, there is only persuasion slowly, but fortunately time is not urgent.
After dismissing the people around, Webster asked: "Wang Hua is going to marry the young lady of the Wang family in Taiyuan soon in Lingzhou, Bao'er, have you heard?"
"Marry Wang Han?" Li Bao'er called out. Although she was somewhat prepared in her heart, she couldn't help feeling a great loss in her heart.
"But this is good news. Wang Hua married Wang Han. This is a tacit agreement between him and the Taiyuan Wang family a few years ago. But why didn't he marry the little princess?"
Li Bao'er gritted her teeth and kept silent, thinking in her heart, if you hadn't destroyed it, then these things would have happened, and now she would have married Wang Hua long ago.
Webster ignored her expression and continued: "Bazhou has now reached an agreement with the imperial court. The Turkic people are taken away by him, leaving only the Tubo people. The army will withdraw. I believe that the Tubo people don't have to worry about it. With his current power, if he asks for marriage again, it will be too late for the king to welcome him, right?"
Li Bao'er thought to himself, this is nonsense, if he objected, King Xiang would have sent someone to Lingzhou to beg for the little princess.This is not in Fengzhou. For this cousin, he has been impeached by the officials during this period.Didn't he value the power in Erlang's hand and want to use this cousin to win Erlang over?
"Gu told you one thing. Gu asked Wei Pushe to send a message to Wang Hua, allowing him to marry you."
Li Gu'er snorted coldly, but remained silent.
"I know that you don't believe me, but if you think about Wang Hua's willingness to marry the young lady of the Wang family in Taiyuan, you don't connect it with the little princess. Think about it."
"Queen, just say what you want, don't go around in circles."
"Bao'er, why are you so stupid? I only have two daughters, you and Changning, and no other children. But your elder sister is not as smart as you, so I want to make you the empress dowager alone. I know, I used to do it alone. Not well, I listened to Zong Chuke's instigation and thought that Wang Hua wanted to plot against Gu Tu, so he ambushed him in the palace. But think about it, why did Gu help him when he was releasing food before. This The misunderstanding is serious, but it is still a misunderstanding. Gu also sent Wei Pushe to explain it clearly. And you have not thought of another thing. If you are established as the crown prince, who will be the emperor after a hundred years with Gu and His Majesty? Then you After a hundred years with Wang Hua, who will be the emperor?"
These words are full of incomparable temptation, the one who will be the emperor is naturally Li Bao'er.As the emperor, Li Bao'er undoubtedly listened to Wang's paintings.And when they are old, the successor must be their son.
Wei Shi added fuel to the fire, and said, "This time, do you know why Gu must have Zhaolang's surname Li?"
In fact, this is not the case. What she lacks the most is blood. She cannot squander her four sons like Wu Zesan.Therefore, even though he did not have an orthodox bloodline, he had no choice but to use Li Gu'er's children to cover up his ugliness.Moreover, he was brought up by his side since he was a child, and he will always have feelings for himself in the future, and this bloodline can continue to be passed on.
The future successor will definitely not be Li Bao'er, but it is very likely to be Wang Zhaolang.
Li Bao'er finally raised his head and asked, "Queen Mother, do you really think so?"
"I don't think so, how can I conjure up a child to continue the foundation of Gu and His Majesty?"
Li Bao'er lowered his head, thought for a while, and asked, "Then why did you send someone to arrest me and prevent me from communicating with Erlang?"
"Wang Hua, it's not that you don't know. He has a fierce personality, can he hold his breath? But this matter is not urgent. You should think about it again and give Gu an answer." Webster wanted to leave after speaking.
Li Bao'er came back to his senses and asked: "Then mother, why did you treat Father Emperor badly and take his power away?"
"You ask Gu, who do you ask? Who agreed to take the throne and let me do it? It was your father. Your father didn't care about things, so Gu had to deal with some government affairs for him. The ministers were not convinced, and they made trouble for Gu. .Actually, do you believe what they say? They are not helping your father, they are helping Xiangwang, and they are helping Princess Taiping. Only by provoking Gu and your father to disagree, they have the opportunity to support Xiangwang to the throne. Your father doesn’t understand This truth, don’t you understand this truth?” Now that Li Gu’er asked this, Webster sat down again, looked at Li Gu’er’s disbelieving eyes, and continued: “I know what you are talking about, is it Wei Wei? A few members of the family served as prime ministers in the court. But have you ever thought about what position Changsun Wuji was in when the Empress Changsun was alive? What was the Wu family like when the Empress Dowager was alive? Could it be wrong for the Wei family to enjoy such a little glory when the Empress Dowager was born? ? Just like when Zhaolang married a queen in the future, wouldn’t it be okay to use a few members of the queen’s natal family as prime ministers? In the end, they were jealous.”
"What is an enemy and what is a friend? What was Wang Hua and the Taiyuan Wang family like at the beginning, and what is it like now? Don't believe the words of some ministers. They are all thinking about their own interests and the interests of their masters. Only their masters It is your father who is obsessed with ghosts now. Do you also learn from your father? How can this let Gu let you be the empress dowager. God, do you want that girl in Changning to be the empress dowager?"
Li Bao'er was a little confused after going around, she said, "Let me think about it again."
"Okay, think about it slowly," Webster finished and left, but before leaving the door, he gave a vicious look at the eunuchs and palace maids standing at the door, scaring them into wits.
As soon as Webster left in the front, Li Bao'er in the back became furious, called several of his subordinates over, and asked scoldingly, "Wang Hua married the young lady of the Wang family in Lingzhou, why didn't you tell Gu?"
One by one was too frightened to make a sound.
Just like what Wang Hua said when he talked with Li Long, Webster's initial rights were given by Li Xian.Li Gu'er's rights were given by Li Xian and Webster.Although she spent some money, many of her confidants left one after another after Li Xian and Webster put her under house arrest in a disguised form.
These subordinates are considered her most caring subordinates.
A eunuch boldly replied: "Your Highness, this servant is afraid that you will be angry if you hear it."
"So Gu isn't angry now?" Li Bao'er angrily threw away the things in the room.
At this moment, one of her personal servants walked up to her and whispered to her: "Shangguan Zhaorong is in her other courtyard. I have invited Her Royal Highness to come over. But you must not reveal that she called you over."
Shangguan Xiaowan also acted helplessly, because she was afraid of Wei Shi's suspicion, so she didn't dare to look for Li Bao'er.Even if I look for Li Gu'er now, I dare not come here, even if I invite her to go, I can't let anyone know.Of course, when Li Baoer came to the door, that was another matter.Even if Li Gu'er wanted to go to Webster's bedroom, Webster couldn't stop him.
So she thought for a while, she couldn't find Li Gu'er, but those people around Li Gu'er were Webster's insiders, and she was very clear about those who were Li Gu'er's real confidantes.So let his confidantes find Li Guer's real confidants, and hand over this sentence.
Li Gu'er was stunned for a moment, but still came to Shangguan Xiaowan's other courtyard.
Shangguan Xiaowan had been waiting for a long time, and when they met, Li Bao'er asked his servants to leave, and asked directly, "What orders does Zhao Rong have for me?"
"Your Highness, don't dare. Have you heard something? Wang Hua is marrying the young lady of the Wang family in Lingzhou."
Li Bao'er was feeling unhappy about this matter, and when she heard it, her expression immediately became pale, and she said, "The queen mother told me earlier."
Shangguan Xiaowan was also stunned for a moment. It is not surprising that Li Baoer heard the news. Why did Wei Shi want to inform her, but she was originally a delicate person, so she guessed it immediately and asked: "Did the queen say that you Do you want to be a princess?"
"Yes."
"Then make Zhaolang the emperor's grandson."
"Yes."
"Then let you marry Wang Hua."
"Yes."
"Will the princess marry in Chang'an, in Luoyang, or in Lingzhou?"
"Naturally in Chang'an or Luoyang," Li Gu'er replied puzzled.According to his mother, Wang Hua will be the "Emperor Tainan" in the future, how could he still stay in Lingzhou.
"Okay, let me ask you another question. Now that Wang Hua is in Lingzhou, does anyone dare to assassinate him or kill him?"
Li Gu'er began to wake up.
Who dares to kill Wang Hua now?But when he was in Luoyang and Chang'an, he was assassinated many times and plotted many times.Why?Because he was just a civil servant in the capital, a widow, not in Lingzhou, even if he was in the blood camp back then, no one dared to touch him.
But she asked puzzledly, "Why do you say these things?"
"I just want you and Wang Hua to have a happy future in the future, and don't let the bad things happen again. But I have a question for you. For Wang Hua's safety, would you like to marry Ling Ling?" State, or Oceania?"
Li Guer had a hesitant look on his face.
Shangguan Xiaowan shook her head: "If I were Wang Hua, I would leave you alone, or I would kill you sooner or later."
"Zhaorong, why did you say that?"
"He is the king and the sky in Lingzhou. Once he comes to Luoyang or Chang'an, he will die without a burial place."
"No, the queen made peace with him."
"Tan He, you are so naive, let me ask you again, what's the result of Pei Yan? What's the result of Cheng Wuting? What's the result of Li Xiaoyi?"
These people all supported Wu Zetian's position, but once Wu Zetian's status stabilized, he killed them with knives one after another.
Li Gu'er was so frightened that she remembered that Wang Hua had asked her many times if she would be willing to take her out of the capital.As a result, every time he answered why he left the capital, Wang Hua didn't say anything, but he was faintly disappointed.
"Is there no other way?"
"No, my mind is not as smart as your Erlang's. He can't even figure it out. How can I figure it out. I called you here because I want to say one thing. Has Wang Hua sent someone to contact you for many years? I've missed you. It's a big event for him to marry the young lady of the Wang family, have you been notified?"
"He has no way to inform me," Li Bao'er felt very guilty when she said this, she thought in her heart, could it be that Erlang started to change his mind about her because of his mother?
"Want to know why?"
Li Baoer nodded silently.
"Because when the queen killed Wang Hua that night, she talked with Wang Hua and talked about many things about you," so Shangguan Xiaowan narrated part of the conversation between Webster and Wang Hua that night.Now she is the second most popular person in the palace, most people think she is Webster's confidant, it is not difficult to get the inside story of that night.
Li Bao'er's face changed when she heard that, her mother said such a thing, no wonder Wang Hua didn't contact her, it turned out that she began to doubt herself.But she looked at Shangguan Xiaowan suspiciously, and asked, "Why did you tell me?"
In her eyes, Shangguan Xiaowan is also someone close to her mother.
Shangguan Xiaowan took out Wang Hua's letter.
Li Bao'er looked at it, his face became even more angry, and asked: "What is your relationship with Erlang?"
Shangguan Xiaowan thought to herself, at this time, you are still jealous.She replied: "Wuhe, when your mother wanted to kill Wang Hua, I woke him up. Only then did he prepare for the safe transfer of his family."
Speaking of this, Shangguan Xiaowan remembered another thing, which was also what Webster talked with Wang Hua that night, and said, "Do you know how your first child was miscarried?"
"A miscarriage is a miscarriage, what is the reason?"
"Wrong, that's because the queen sent someone to secretly put the medicinal materials for abortion in your food."
"Impossible!" Li Gu'er screamed, and said, "Then why is Zhaolang safe and sound?"
"The reason is very simple. Your mother wanted to win Wu Sansi for the first time. You and Wang Hua didn't know the reason for the miscarriage. You didn't offend Wang Hua, and you also saved Wu Sansi's face. After all, his daughter-in-law was pregnant with someone else's child. It's not very nice to hear about it. But the second time your majesty ascended the throne, it was Wu Sanji who needed the support of the queen, so there is no need to take away your child. I said this, just to tell you that the most pitiful birth is in the emperor's family. Although The queen likes you, but she is still just a cute pawn."
"Then why did you tell me? And why did you save Erlang?"
"Did you see what was written in this letter? I also want to live. To save Wang Hua, I want to save another life." This is also the truth, and Shangguan Xiaowan replied very frankly.
"You said that my mother's queen is going to kill my father?"
Shangguan Xiaowan shook her head, this can't be said, as soon as Li Bao'er said it, she would jump up, which didn't help the matter, but instead ruined Wang Hua's affairs, and might even drag herself into the water.She said: "No, there are many possibilities. Now there is Princess Taiping, King Xiang, your father, and your mother. The political situation is very unstable. What Wang Hua meant, or you can write a letter yourself to ask him. I will bring it for you, and I will explain it for you by the way, so as to clear up the misunderstanding between you. But still the same sentence, if Wang Hua needs it, are you nostalgic for the prosperity of the capital, or are you willing to travel all over the world with him?"
There is no need to doubt Li Baoer's feelings for Wang Hua, but if she can't let go of the prosperity of the capital, it will be a bit difficult to handle.Don't switch to the honorable first princess of the Tang Dynasty, even if you are a little bit reluctant to give up.If this is the case, I should prepare to flee immediately, otherwise if so much information is leaked, there will be no way out.
After speaking, he nervously watched how Li Bao'er made a decision.After the decision is over, there is one more thing to do, to convince her that she can't let her think wildly, and must pretend that she doesn't know anything.Only then will there be a chance for both of them to get out of trouble.
