Chapter 156 Set sail (2)
Wu Zetian stared at Li Wei and said coldly: "You are so scheming!"
Li Wei was very careful. After entering the inner palace, he also brought dozens of guards.
I have to be careful that I spent seven days in White Horse Temple, and the concubines around me were not released from the inner palace to meet. It was not that my mother wanted to do anything to them, but a check and balance.[]
It is precisely for today's negotiations to control the last trump card.
If the negotiation is not done well, the mother may not dare to kill them. Even if she kills her, she may not be afraid of the world and immediately leads the army to wash the inner palace. This is a delicate balance, which is conducive to today's talks. It also shows that the mother's control over the inner palace, which is exactly what Li Wei fears.
Li Wei waved his hand and asked the guards and the eunuchs in the palace to retreat.
Looking at his mother, he said, "My mother, Erchen has been very worried over the years. Even when he asked Liang Jinzhu, Luma and others to operate the sailing, it was not to expand the source of the country's economy, but to find a way to manage a piece of land overseas. In case of an accident, Erchen could escape overseas for refuge."
"What are you talking about?" Wu Zetian shouted angrily and poured the tea in the teacup on Li Wei's face.
My son said something viciously.
As for the sake of my heart, I have never wanted to kill the son in front of me, but I can't stand the second son anymore. As for the struggle for power, both the empress dowagers, the situation of a empress dowager with power and a empress dowager without power is different.
Just like now, I know that I want to retreat behind the scenes, but I still have to fight for the way I go. Have you ever thought about killing this son? No. Instead, it was because of my son's mistake.
Under the guidance, he thought he had encountered an unexpected situation, so he took several big steps to gain power, causing him to lose his morality.
Li Wei thought about today's meeting for a long time, but did not wipe away the tea from his face, and continued, "Maybe the Queen Mother blamed her for speaking too much. There was no one else here, but please think about it again. Over the years, have the Queen Mother tried every means to repair her relationship with her Queen Mother, and even in Qinghai, they promised that after her father passed away, they would handle government affairs with her Queen Mother. However, did the Queen Mother's footsteps stop? No matter what she did, it caused obstruction in all aspects. Finally, she forced her to go to the Western Regions to escape the numerous encirclements and traps set up by her Queen Mother. What about the Queen Mother? She seized the army from the north, but the Yulin Army did not mention it, and sent people to Qinghai to seize the army from Qinghai. After walking step by step, the Queen Mother's death, and the Queen Mother's ended up with only one righteousness, but this righteousness will also obstruct the Queen Mother. What will the Queen Mother do?"
This and assumptions cannot happen.
Li Wei didn't remember that Pei Xingjian and Liu Rengui were both alive at that time, and it was impossible for him to sit idly by and watch this happen. It happened in the north, and could it still happen in Qinghai? But if it really happened, Li Wei would be very passive. It might even be forced overseas.
"You...you, very, very good, how did I raise you unfilial sons?"
"My mother and sons are all unfilial. But whether it is me, third brother or fourth brother, they don't want to be filial, they are all afraid."
Directly pointing to the essence.
Wu Ze was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Li Wei continued: "Yes, the son minister is greedy for life and fear of death, and he has done some unfilial things. But the son minister also knows that without the childbirth of his parents, there will be no son minister today. Without the inspiration of his mother, it is even more impossible for the son minister to have the throne of his son minister. Therefore, the son minister will have the final limit."
This is a promise, and a meeting with your mother is not to be straightforward, and that's enough.
Wu Zetian was silent again. After a while, he said, "I am tired. If you want to make trouble, just go and do whatever you want. But I hope to leave a few caring people around me."
This was Wu Zetian's request. In the end, she sat silently and watched Li Wei successfully hand over the regime. She did not cooperate or interfere. It was for the purpose of decent stepping down and the service of some loyal people around her, so she would not go to the cold palace.
Otherwise, if my son set up this game, he would have to eradicate everyone around him.
But Li Wei was shocked.
When I came to Luoyang, I did not go directly to the city, but walked into the White Horse Temple. After all, Luoyang is now mixed with fish and dragons. Then I controlled the Yulin Army, and then I stuffed many confidants to serve as prime ministers, or promoted important positions in the three provinces and six ministries. Others, because of the most urgent task, are to appease and control, and have not moved for the time being.
Mo Wei Dao and others even said they were lucky, and even when I entered the city today, I shouted long live the mountain. But I didn’t know that I would make big moves after the political situation was controlled. I had to undergo a bloody blow to the inner palace.
But my mother immediately saw through her thoughts.
He sighed in his heart and said, "Mother, my son will do it."
There is no saying that you can stay, nor that you can not stay, but it means that you agree to give a certain amount of room.
"You go down." Wu Zetian's face became calm. Since she knew that her son was still alive, she understood her son's toxic heart. Then she unexpectedly appeared in Taiyuan, took down Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxun, and controlled the 100,000 troops. Wu Zetian knew that things were impossible to do well. So she took many measures in time to make up for it. The result of today's talks made her feel very desolate. It was better than the worst result she imagined.
Li Wei did not live in the inner palace and came to the eastern palace again.
Wu Zetian also sent the girls and their children to the East Palace together.
However, Li Wei sent many eunuchs and palace maids in the Eastern Palace, especially the eunuchs and palace maids who were later inserted into them, to the inner palace or Shangyang Palace. He also sent two thousand temporary Yulin Army guards from Qinghai.
This made a shadow continue to float over Luoyang.
But the East Palace was filled with joy.
Scan them, then looked at Qiucong and Qiuhao: "Is it important to be hurt in spring?"
"They were beaten to death by a few of them first, and they were imprisoned for many days. After forcibly dragging them out, they went to Lingnan. They all fell seriously ill on the road and almost died of illness. If it weren't for Wei Zhigu and Liang Lu's family, the yamen servants on the road would not have been too embarrassed, and they might have died of illness on the road." Ye Ci Mingyue said quickly and said it.
Qiu Hui smiled gently and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I have all my injuries and my injuries have been cured. If I survive the disaster, I will have good fortune. If I can see Your Majesty back safely, I will be blessed in my three lives."
"If it's a bad trip, you should come back early..." Li Wei said with apologies.
While he was talking, Liu Qun came in to report that officials from the Secretariat were asking for a visit.
Originally, the eunuchs did it, but almost all the eunuchs were sent away. They could allow the guards to guard them, but they could not allow the guards to rest in the deep palace or do some chores. Therefore, they had to fall on more reliable palace maids such as Liu Qun.
The Secretariat brought a large number of memorials.
The prime ministers have dealt with a group of people, but over the past few months, there have been a lot of government orders, and some of them have serious affairs. The prime ministers cannot make decisions and take them to the East Palace together.
We must fulfill the emperor's spiritual attraction.
Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to help you?"
"Wanyi, it's not appropriate. This is not the past. Your Majesty is dealing with the real major politics. If you intervene, you will form a trend of interfering in politics in the harem." Qiu Hui persuaded.
"Let's help the alliance to make a decision, but you can't participate, do you understand?"
"Okay."
Qiu Hui wanted to persuade her, but Li Wei waved her hand and said, "Wan'er is not my mother's personality, and she is just tidying up the couplet."
After saying that, the memorial was opened.
The most common ones are the unjust, false and wrong cases that occurred during this period. Li Wei said: "Wan'er, please read the couplet and all these memorials are gathered together."
"Here."
Shangguan Wan'er is right and Li Wei is criticizing it. Some of them are deserved. Li Wei did not give any instructions, but some of them are because they are loyal to Li Tang. After making suggestions, they angered their mother and were demoted and sent to the death. All of them, including Liu Jingxian, were recalled again.
However, only the position of Liu Jingxian as the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Si was not a recall, but a demotion. But this person was also the target of Li Wei's possible punishment this time. Li Wei could not know the inside story when Li Zhi was dying, but he knew some big things. This person was valued by his father a few years ago, and it was very likely that his father wanted to differentiate his mother's rights. But he got closer to Pei Yan. Before his father died, he was the first important minister to be summoned, and he didn't know what he said. Then his father summoned Pei Yan into the palace and left a will. The specific situation was unknown, but this person played an important role in the middle.
Then another person came, Feng Ya, Chang.
Shangguan Wan'er suddenly interrupted and said, "Your Majesty, this person needs to be valued."
"Why?"
Li Wei knew that Feng Yuanchang was demoted, and Feng Yuanchang made suggestions, but his mother was unhappy and demoted him. However, after arriving at the local area, he also had political achievements. All he knew was this. Wan'er said: "Your Majesty, a few years ago, the ministers sat in the court's decay, and no one dared to speak out. Only this person spoke in front of the late emperor about the power of the central palace, and it was appropriate to control it. The empress dowager was very unhappy when she heard this. Later, the late emperor passed away and the four sides competed for charm. Just as he made suggestions, he demoted him from the court."
"Oh," Li Wei thought for a while and issued an edict, which ordered the person to return to Beijing and serve as the Minister of Justice. He was going to deal with a batch of major cases and used several people with firm positions.
But he is not very familiar with this person. Whether he can reuse it depends on his own talent.
As the sky gradually faded, dinner was served in the kitchen.
There are more than a dozen side dishes, two pots of soup, Baiwei soup, shrimp and fish belly soup, and a pot of Fugui cake. It is also a mix of Hu cakes. The workmanship is more complicated. It is sliced with Atractylodes, boiled with Gepu, dried and ground into powder. Each of them is four liang, add three jin of dried yam powder, three jin of white flour, and three jin of refined white honey. It is mixed into cakes, dried and stored in pancakes. When eaten, steamed and cut into strips. Whether Wu Zetian or the earlier Princess Taiping likes to eat sweets. Therefore, this Fugui cake is very popular in the palace.
But when they arrived at the palace gate, the guards stopped them. They tasted every food and every dish carefully, and then they were brought in.
Although the Eastern Turkic Rebellion was quelled, Tubo was still a big trouble. After the Black Chi Changzhi fought, he returned to Qinghai. However, when he left, he repeatedly instructed the soldiers who had chosen to stay, especially the soldiers who were appointed as guards of the palace. If the emperor had any trouble, he would destroy the relevant people and other families.
But it is not a long-term solution, but for a smooth transition, I can only stay in Luoyang for the time being. When I return to Chang'an, all the people in the imperial kitchen must be re-transferred.
The next day, he presided over a grand dynasty meeting in Qianyuan Palace. This was the real morning dynasty since Li Zhi's death.
It was equal to the completion of the officials' report, and Li Wei issued another edict to change the era.
The original year name was Chengping, which was made privately by Wu Zetian. The intention was good, and the connection was launched and the transition was smooth. In the end, so many things happened. This time, the era name was Chengping, and the word "Yuan" also showed Li Wei's ambition and ambition.
Finally Qiu Renjie gave an advice, and the most important drama came. He held the cage and said, "Your Majesty, a lot of things have happened in the East Capital, and he was finally accompanied the capital. However, since the late emperor came to the East Capital, he has not returned to Xijing for a long time. This is also an unknown sign of the country." (To be continued
