Chapter 172 Probe (10)

Just after New Year's Day, Di Renjie handed over a memorial.

It was written by Liu Yizhi in Luoyang. He was Liu Zhi's brother. Because of his elder brother's talent, he has never been famous. However, he has some accomplishments in literary talent. This time he was implicated and all his official positions were all over the place.

After Li Wei returned to Beijing, he asked everyone in the world a difficult problem, and Tailai would not be closed.

He also issued an edict, and those who said the reason were highly commended. Many people wrote the letter, but there was no new idea, and some even said it was a bad word.

Only Liu Yizhi's letter gave Di Renjie a surprise.

But it was of great importance and it was not something he could decide, so it was handed over to Li Wei.

Li Wei opened it and took a look, and said;

The heaven and earth are chaotic, and Pangu axe splits, and divides yin and yang. The yang is full of energy, so it is the upper, and the yin is the qi sinks, so it is the lower. Therefore, all things are born, hundreds of people come out, and there is a sage king behind... The people are water, and the king is the boat. The king governs all people, and the people follow the people's will, and the country is in line with the etiquette of the people, and the country's fortune is long...

I said a lot, roughly speaking, the world opens, and there are people first, and then there is a king. Just like the relationship between water and boats, there is no boat without water. Although the king is the parents of the people, he must treat the people well.

Otherwise, the country will not be protected. Therefore, if you become a king, you must maintain a humble and kind heart so that you can gain the support of the people. Just like the Tai Gua, if the people of Kun are placed above and the king and Qian are placed below Kun, the country will be ruled. Otherwise, the king will have infinite power and will not be restrained, and it will inevitably become a desperate situation. Therefore, the light and high-ranking Qian Gua must not be placed above the Kun Gua. Otherwise, bad things will happen. There is an example. Emperor Yang of Sui held this attitude, treating all the people as straw dogs, and as a result, the Sui Dynasty was like a big one, but in just a few decades, the country was destroyed.

It is very subtle and obscure.

Indeed, as a person today, it is difficult for ordinary people to express this meaning.

But it was close to what Li Wei thought.

If you want the country to become longer, the key is a good system and the distribution of rights. The power of the monarch is gradually weakened, but this power cannot be concentrated in the hands of a certain minister. So you will return to Li Shimin's political affairs hall system.

In the future, we have to make some mobilizations, and it depends on the reactions of the people. We cannot take too much steps, but the gain will not be worth the loss.

He summoned Wei Yuanzhong, Di Renjie and other prime ministers in and handed over the memorial and passed it on to them.

Wei Zhigu said worriedly, "Your Majesty, Liu Yizhi saw that His Majesty was humble, so he dared to offend him. He was lucky to be favored by His Majesty again with a blunt statement and entered the official career. This kind of public opinion is not necessary. If all the people despise the power of the monarch, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Wei Qing, look at him again and said that he only wanted the king to keep a humble heart and treat the people. Did he say anything else?"

I don’t know what Liu Yizhi thinks, maybe he saw his thoughts and might not be used to living a commoner’s life, so he took a gamble. But this replies came in time. If it weren’t for it, he would take the initiative to announce the answers after a while.

If you have unworthy descendants in the future, then the ministers in the court can take it out and use it as a law to advise. Take a look at what your ancestors said about Tailai. You cannot do anything like this. It will play a role in supervision and it will also be easy to cultivate the solar terms of ministers.

You are ministers of the country, you are the ones who do things, not the slaves of the king. You cannot underestimate its role. If you are very good at the time of your reign, you will have a huge influence on future generations. For example, the Zhao Kuangyin brothers' emphasis on culture and over military affairs has always influenced the late Southern Song Dynasty and even the Ming Dynasty.

"Let me give him the next edict, let him be the Censor. By the way, he will issue his memorials to the world. A monarch must maintain a humble heart. If I do not do well in the future, no matter whoever I do, I can advise me."

What else can the emperor say when he insists on being a miserable emperor? The ministers had to call him "no".

Li Wei didn't expect that the Wulu family would come so quickly.

Before the Shangyuan Festival came, Wulu led a group of people to Chang'an.

Li Wei met her in the palace, waved his hand and sent all the palace maids and eunuchs away. He asked, "Why are you here in person?"

"Where do I miss you? Come to Chang'an to visit you." Wu Lu stretched his waist and said lazily.

"Where is my son?"

"He is in Yangtong, my mother's house, so it's very good. Don't worry, the Gar brothers are very resentful at this time. Even if I put my son in their hands, I dare not hurt him. Otherwise, they will not be responsible for the consequences."

"But do you know how dangerous your career is?"

The Lun brothers can use their sons to be a puppet emperor and command Tubo. However, the Wulu family may not have this effect. In China, due to the defeats of several battles, it put a lot of pressure on Tubo, and the public was very angry and did not dare to attack the Wulu family.

But if Wulu came to the Tang Dynasty, if he did some tricks and put this crime on the Tang Dynasty halfway back, the problem would be solved. Without Wulu's Fuzuo, his son would really become a puppet of the Lu brothers. He might even not understand his true life experience for life.

"Don't worry, when I came, I thought about it and secretly ordered some tribes of Yangtong. When I returned, I divided it into two routes, one from Qinghai. The other route, I returned from the Western Regions by myself, and went to Yangtong through the southern mountain pass of Khotan. When I arrived at Yangtong, I would be safe. Unless you intentionally leak the secret, will you?"

"It's still very adventurous."

"I just miss you."

He is also paying attention to the fact that the Tubo is behind. Although the information is backward, he knows some of the situation. Tubo is under great pressure, and since he lets the army return last year.

Some measures have been taken, such as cutting off the salt road and the trade road and retaliating, and the situation in Tubo has become even worse.

The most important thing is that you have possessed morality.

Whether in Qinghai, Jiannan, or in the Western Regions, they were all Tubo people, or the Gar brothers.

At this time, the Wulu clan "takes risk" to come to the Tang Dynasty to find a way out for the people. It can be said that it comes with a halo. Once successful, it will win a huge reputation for the Wulu clan. In fact, the so-called danger is not in the Tang Dynasty, but in the Tubo country.

As long as the conditions are not raised too much, why should I be embarrassed to refuse to agree?

With this reputation, coupled with the assistance of the Zanpu minister who gradually turned the trend, the Wulu family could gradually divide the power from the Gar brothers. Unless the Gar brothers dared to take the world's worst and forcibly kill the Wulu family. But can their reputation take this risk?

“But it’s not a long-term solution.

"Yes, but our son is still young. I am a woman, not your mother, and I have such a tough trick. Only when our son grows a few more years will I find a way."

The Qinling is not only a major concern for the Wulu clan, but also a major concern for the Tang Dynasty. For example, in Qinghai, in the Western Regions, and in Jiannan, how many troops were stationed? It is impossible not to station. If this person is in Tubo, if there is any mistake in the border, it will become his happy hunting ground.

“It’s not easy.”

"I thought, I would like to cooperate. If you lead him out, I will control the city and destroy his nest. I hope our Tubo army will not all be subordinate to him."

Li Wei thought deeply that even if it is like this, the Wulu family and the son will also bear huge risks. But it is still early and there is no hurry. It really won’t work. I will spend some effort and cooperate.

Wulu said again, "I'll come and ask for a marriage for our son."

As for the Yanfang Road and the Commercial Road, Wulushi didn’t mention it. Did Li Wei not agree?

"You are a fool. Last time I asked for a marriage to my little sister."

"That way, others won't doubt it. But your son is growing older, so you can do it yourself."

"No, you can't marry the same surname. Have you never heard of it?" If you really marry a princess, the princess, and the son's life experience can only be hidden for a lifetime. In fact, the so-called close relatives do not marry, people's concepts are relatively backward at this time. Why can't they marry if the same surname is separated by seven or eight generations? Apart from the same surname, the uncle, cousin, brother and other relatives, aren't blood relationships similar to each other? This principle cannot be said. As an emperor, he must abide by the rules of this era.

"That's at least a woman from the fifth family and seventh family."

Li Wei was a little nervous. Women from five families and seven families were even more delicate than women from the royal family. Who would be willing to marry into Tubo?

"That's your son."

"I know."

If you fail, the reputation of Wulu will be higher. The great cannibals may not know, but how could the Tubo people not know how noble the women of the five surnames and seven families of the Tang Dynasty were? However, should they make some concessions and let a certain family agree?

After thinking about it, the Cui family in Qinghe, Cui family in Boling, Lu family in Fanyang, Li family in Zhaozhou and Li family in Longxi, don’t even think about it. Only the Wang family in Taiyuan has always maintained a close relationship with the royal family, or the Zheng family in Xingyang. But even so, if you don’t make huge concessions, you may not agree. If you are the emperor, can you use powerful means to force your marriage?

"Let me try it."

With this sentence, Wulu said with a blink of an eye and said, "I heard that the palace is very lively during the Shangyuan Festival. I was trying to catch the speed all the way, just to see the prosperity of the Shangyuan Festival in Chang'an City."

"If you want to see it, stay."

"Anyway, there's no hurry. I'll stay in Chang'an for a month or two. Also, I'm a rare opportunity to come. You can't touch your concubine in the harem. You have to leave it for me." As he said that, he glanced at a certain place with his eyes.

Outsiders certainly don’t know that if Wulu clan wants to fight for the conditions for Tubo, he must entangle with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, slowly grind and negotiate step by step. Moreover, she is the empress dowager, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty met him in accordance with etiquette. Maybe the people of Tubo might cry or be moved. Look, how much risk our empress dowager takes for our survival. But she didn’t expect such a erotic negotiation scene.

After a long time, the two of them tied their clothes. The Wulu clan was like a Persian cat and asked softly, "Your Majesty, you have such a good appetite. What does that Western princess feel like?"

What does this taste like? At most, it’s a bit different visually.

However, at this moment, Li Wei was a little confused. He never expected that in this life, he would be confused with the two empress dowagers. One was his biological mother, and he was inseparable from grudges. The other was his lover, and he would not be able to control what would happen in the future.

After seeing off the Wulu family, Di Renjie walked in.

Asked, "Di Qing, what's the matter?"

Di Renjie opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. It took him a long time to say, "Your Majesty, you have to be a good person."

"I understand."
