The 384th chapter is said to be fleeting years (1)
Chapter 384: Today's Day (I)
At this moment, the guards outside came in and reported: "Queen Tian, Ming Chongyan asked for a meeting."
"No!" This man was also a villain. His second son recommended him back to Beijing for his husband, otherwise he would have tried to ask him. Just as the eunuch was about to leave, Wu Zetian thought for a while and said, "Let him come in."
"Here!"
After reading Ming Chongyan in, Wu Zetian asked him to sit down. He was extremely angry inside, but he couldn't fall into his appearance. He said calmly: "Sit down."
"Thank you, Queen."
"How is your majesty's condition?"
"I'm just anxious and I'll be safe after this period of time."
"You know a little medical theory."
"I was lucky enough to know some medical principles and...the classics." I originally wanted to talk about witchcraft, but I was afraid that Wu Zetian would be disgusted, so I endured it. I looked at Wu Zetian quietly, with a cloak of wind and a big red cloak, and a beautiful face under her eyebrows. If I look at her appearance, I would definitely not tell her actual age. Although Wu Zetian was usually very generous, she valued her physical care.
This eight-character eyebrow is not what later generations say, it is born. People in the Tang Dynasty are bold in makeup, which is beyond imagination in later generations. Various strange makeup, such as yellow forehead, and applying the golden color of Buddha statue on the forehead is a kind of makeup that makes Li Wei feel terrifying, but many people in the Tang Dynasty like it. As for the lipstick, powder, it is normal. But there is another kind of makeup, which is abnormal. The flower ornaments are cut into various patterns with gold foil, and it is better to apply it between the eyebrows or face, but the various flower ornaments of small fish and ducks on the cheeks are also very uncomfortable with Li Wei.
Then there are the eyebrows, including mandarin duck eyebrows, small mountain eyebrows, five eyebrows, three peak eyebrows, hanging pearl eyebrows, moon eyebrows, split eyebrows, Han smoke eyebrows, blowing smoke eyebrows, dizzy eyebrows. For example, Shangguan Wan'er paints the moon eyebrows, Wei Yue paints the hill eyebrows, Di Hao and Di Hui often paint the eyebrows, Han smoke eyebrows, Yang Min is brushing smoke eyebrows, Xu Li is mandarin duck eyebrows, Bi'er is faint dizzy, Pei Yuhe is five eyebrows, Li Lingyue looks at several sisters-in-law, so after a while, this eyebrows, and another eyebrows are tired of it. There is another type, which is the eight-character eyebrows, which is a rare method of drawing eyebrows according to the shape of the face.
It was also the most dissatisfied with Li Wei's mother's dress, but the Tang Dynasty people liked it, and Li Zhi liked it. He was not satisfied, and it was useless.
The queen is still very beautiful. The guy had a strange thought in his heart. But he didn't dare to show it on his face, and said, "I came here to say something."
"What's the matter?"
"After a while, it will be the birthday of the emperor. Your Highness serves the country and the people, and he is in a bad place. According to my ministers, he should hold a birthday banquet for the emperor, which is a small compensation for Your Highness."
"Why did you say this?" Wu Zetian asked in shock.
"I just want to go back to the capital to serve Your Majesty. I did something that made Your Majesty dissatisfied with you, so I used some tricks to ask the Queen of Heaven to forgive me. But during this period, I have regretted it. I don't know some things in Shenzhou, but I only realized when I arrived in the capital. I still know which one is right and which one is wrong." Ming Chongyan replied carefully.
This is true. Li Xian is just a ladder he has taken. After returning to the capital, Li Xian treats him well, but he already feels that Li Xian has forced him away so much money to the end. He will not say anything about this. The prince is Li Xian's footstone, and he is also his footstone.
But he often knew that the emperor would have a good life for many years.
It has been enough for several years, and Li Xian’s small measures are simply not up to the table, or they are some low-level measures. This time, the emperor may tolerate it for the time being in order to prevent the future of the country, but in a few years, Li Xian and Li Xulun may not be tolerated.
It would be better to hold the queen's thigh.
Turning against you!
But he had been marked as the Yongwang Party, so he spoke very carefully.
"Will you be kind?" Wu Zetian asked playfully.
"Ming Chongyan at this time is not the Ming Chongyan in the past."
"So you've gotten better?"
"It should be that the minister has become better."
"You... are such a slutty villain, well, not bad, better than those hypocritical villains, go."
"Here."
The results of this meeting were not too good or too bad for Ming Chongyan.
After Ming Chongyan left, Wu Zetian was pondering, putting aside his son's life and death, and the villain's proposal was still very permissible. If she helped her grandson to power, after her husband died, she would be the queen mother, and she would truly have power, and no minister could object. Could it be that Bier, a little palace maid, still has the courage to fight for power with her?
But Bier's identity is too low, and she likes it even more, but it is very difficult to implement it. Even her husband definitely disagrees. After thinking about it, he said to the eunuch beside him: "Go and call Pei Yan, Xue Yuanchao, Cui Zhiwen, and Wang Dezhen."
After a while, the four of them arrived, looked at each other, and looked at each other. Among the four, Pei Yan and Cui Zhiwen belonged to the ministers of the ** faction, Xue Yuanchao belonged to the Yongwang Party, and Wang Dezhen was the Hou Party, so they were quickly promoted and were soon promoted to the Secretariat of the Secretariat.
Wu Zetian was not too arrogant to these four important officials, and said politely through the curtain: "Four dear ministers, please sit down."
Four ministers sat down.
Wu Zetian said again: "I have two things to discuss when I call you here. The first thing is the marriage of the King of Zhou. The King of Zhou and Guan had not officially signed up for the princess last year. I heard that Cui Shilang, the brother of Cui Youcheng, had a granddaughter, who looked beautiful and had a quiet character, so I discussed it with you."
Cui Yicheng was the eldest son of Cui Zhiti, the governor of Shanzhou, in front of Yanling Fang of Cui Xuzhou, Qinghe. Cui Yizhen had six sons, and his name was very interesting. Knowing Ti, knowing long-term, knowing frugality, knowing concession, knowing gentleness, knowing gentleness, and knowing inferiority. All of these six people are famous, Cui Zhiti and Cui Zhiwen are the most noble.
According to common sense, the royal family has the authority of the royal family, and the Cui family in Qinghe has the honor of the Cui family. Even if it is a royal family who is proposing marriage and is not a crown prince, it needs to be consulted. In fact, Cui Zhiti has a granddaughter, who looks good and has a better character than the original Zhao family.
But at this time...
Several ministers looked at each other suspiciously and did not dare to answer.
"Shilarious Minister Cui, don't you want to?" Wu Zetian asked angrily.
Cui Zhiwen knew that this was not only a marriage, but also a problem of standing in the team. He expressed his disagreement, which meant he opposed the queen. If he agreed, he would stand with the queen. He was hesitant, but when he saw Xue Yuanchao's helpless expression, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he understood, and said, "You are very willing to do so. King Zhou Yingwu is very compatible with my niece and granddaughter. But I am just a minister, but I still can't make the decision."
"Well, that's true. There is another thing I want to tell you. I heard that there was already someone in the court in the harem, so I couldn't help but seize my second son and take the position of the crown prince?"
The four of them dared not answer.
"You are all important officials in the court, not ordinary people. A few days ago, Your Majesty issued a decree to blame him, and you must have a little wonder. Why did an eunuch in the harem be so bold to betray His Highness the Crown Prince and defect to Tubo? The Tubo people really need a eunuch now?"
"Why?" Pei Yan asked. He was wondering about this matter, but there were not many ministers with his own eyesight. After learning the inside story, he could grasp the future direction of the court. This information is very important.
"Li Shoucheng, take out the letter Lun Qinling."
"Here!"
After a while, Li Shoucheng took out the letter from Lun Qinling from behind, and the confession written by Zhang Guidong was handed over to several ministers. After reading the message, the ministers' expressions changed. Pei Yan said: "Empress, Your Majesty must issue an edict in time, otherwise the country will not be a country."
"That was my idea. The unfilial son of my palace already knew that Your Majesty and I learned the truth. Zhang Da'an asked His Majesty to send an eunuch as the military commander, so he planned this step. But after Your Majesty learned the truth, the unfilial son continued to commit crimes, and even threatened His Majesty to give up the position of crown prince to him when his elder brother was ruined by him."
"King Yong did this too much," Pei Yan sighed.
But I didn't agree very much. This is a battle for the throne, so what can't be done?
"Mr. Xue, you are the confidant of King Yong, why don't you report this to Your Majesty?"
"The Queen of Heaven, I don't know. In fact, everything is instructed by Your Majesty, and I rarely interact with King Yong." Xue Yuanchao complained in his heart. Although the emperor used a guilty edict to cover up the matter, the queen was unhappy and agreed to it. Will she make a fuss about this matter? If she loses the most basic morality, how can she fight for justice?
Now, the queen began to support the King of Zhou.
The matter is not over yet. Today, for these four ministers, bombs will come one by one.
Wu Zetian said calmly: "The matter cannot be spread. The only four of you who were the important officials in the court learned the truth."
"Here," he felt even more slander in his heart. If you make a mistake in the future and accuse someone of the stolen money, that person will have a career in the future.
"Ming Chongyan just visited me and made a proposal. I thought it was very good. Honger worked for the country and the people, built two canals, and because of border affairs, he went deep into the barren land in the south, and then went to the bitter and cold place in Qinghai. However, he did not expect that because of his beloved brother's persecution, his life and death are uncertain now. I am so sad."
The three of them focused their attention on Xue Yuanchao, thinking to themselves, who did this Li Xian use? Before he defeated the prime minister, Ming Chongyan turned against him. As the prime minister, Xue Yuanchao seemed to have turned against him.
Xue Yuanchao was ashamed and lowered his head. At that time, he chose the box head for his career, and there was no room for him to turn back. Box, head, head, and meaning to join. At that time, he officially joined Wu Zetian's pomegranate skirt.
Pei Yan immediately changed his mind, the prince, he didn't think about it. In fact, many people were fantasizing that Qinling used troops like a god. If it was in Hehuang, there were only a few thousand people surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops, and there was still a chance to survive? When he was standing in the line, he stood on the queen's side and sat on the overall situation before talking. So he said, "King Yong did this and no longer had the right to be the prince."
"Shilarious Minister Pei, this matter is not something that I can say, nor is it that you can say," Wu Zetian said, but his tone was filled with relief.
"yes."
"But Honger's life and death are uncertain, and I am really heartbroken. Therefore, it will be the birthday of King Lu soon. I want to hold a lively birthday banquet for him. What do you think?"
The faces of several ministers changed again.
At this time, how could it be a banquet? The queen not only wanted to support King Li Xian of Zhou, but also wanted to support Li Lu, who was how old he was? Cui Zhiwen and others were still hesitant. Not only was Li Lu young and had a low background, Pei Yan had already bowed down and said, "Empress, this must be true, otherwise your highness would be too unjust..."
***: Yesterday Lao Wu went out, and there was a cold rain and bitter rain. But I saw a beautiful girl wearing a short leather skirt, stockings and long boots, and thin clothes made Lao Wu feel even colder.
