Yang Shi was granted the title of marquis, and everyone knows that this incident has caused a lot.

The edict issued by the Emperor himself, stamped with the seal of the Secretariat, and all the etiquettes are complete.

This kind of wish to be granted official positions has actually been common.

From the early Tang Dynasty to the present, the lord system has actually been completely destroyed. The heroes of Lingyan Pavilion at the beginning have made no contributions, but they are just a duke.

However, with the turmoil of the times, in order to win people's hearts, such titles were worthless. Wu Zetian ascended the throne, and everyone in the Wu family became kings and princes. Even a cat and a dog were transformed into a duke and a county duke.

Now the Wei family is even more unscrupulous. All the Wei family have been named kings. Even distant relatives like Wei Hongmin have become Dukes and Guanlong clans. All those who have close friends with Wei family will be given the title of first class.

A small marquis has actually been unable to raise too much interest from others.

The reason why it is surprising is that this title was awarded by Wu Zetian, and the significance here is extraordinary.

It is okay if the emperor can be granted titles, of course, the emperor is the emperor, that is, he is above the emperor. This kind of respect is more prominent than the emperor. Of course, everything... is just theoretical. In theory, the emperor should guide the emperor to govern. In theory, the emperor can issue his own edict. Naturally, the reason why there are so many privileges is that at the time, the Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate incident killed his brothers and forced his father to abdicate. In order to cover up, everyone knew that his son killed his brothers and bullied his father was really a violation of human ethics. Therefore, after his father Li Yuan abdicated, Li Shimin respected Li Yuan as the emperor and issued edicts repeatedly, saying that the emperor was old and could not take matters. Only then did he pass the throne to himself. Once the emperor was better, he should guide himself to govern the world.

This is of course just a trick to steal the bell. No one in the world knows the strangeness here, but even though they know this, they still have to come up with a set of rules that show the emperor's honor and prominentness. So in a sense, Li Yuan at that time could even participate in political affairs, even summon the prime minister to handle national affairs, issue edicts, and have many of the same privileges as the emperor.

However... but... and later generations, these so-called privileges are all the same. Even if Li Yuan is an idiot, he will never dare to cross this thunder pool. If he is really stupid enough to interfere in the national affairs, then even the last bit of father-son relationship will be gone. Maybe he will die in the palace due to illness the next day.

Now, Wu Zetian was in the same situation before killing Wei Zhengde. She was obviously the omnipotent Supreme Emperor, but once she wanted to use any rights, she might suffer a catastrophe. However, when Wei Zhengde died and Luoyang Palace was completely controlled by Wu Zetian, it was another matter.

A small marquis showed a certain attitude. When the raw rice was cooked, when the edict was issued, it was difficult to collect the water, and when the fast horse brought the news to Chang'an, Chang'an was extremely silent.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Emperor Zetian is back.

The woman who once weighed on everyone's heart is now back to the time when she was the emperor a few years ago. Now she is the emperor, but... what's the difference?

This woman has given too many different memories, including pain, fear, and cheers.

And now, she finally came back.

At this time, no one dared to speak in Chang'an.

Everyone was only uneasy. Although some people wanted to say something, they were still timid. In other words, the emperor gave people too deep impression. When she was just a queen, anyone who stopped him was brutally killed. The kind of killing that used cruel officials who often implicated a clan and raised a butcher's knife without hesitation. Today's scene is really not much different from that at the time.

Wei was also waiting for loyal and kind people to stand up and speak righteously.

It’s just a pity that Di Renjie is not afraid of violence and has long opposed it who thinks this is not beneficial to the country.

The ministers didn't make any noise.

There has been a lot of noise within the Wei family.

Today, Wei family held a banquet in the palace. Many people from all over the Wei family came, including Wei Xuanzhen, Wei Hongmin, Wei Anshi, and other important figures of the Wei family. After giving them a few glasses of wine, they all had a lot of worries.

Wei raised her phoenix eyes, her body trembled. In fact, since she learned that Wei Zhengde was dead, she always trembled for no reason. She was a lot tired, but now she still tried to calm down. She raised her eyes and said in a voice: "You are very worried now? Worry... This is natural, who is not worried? The slut named Wu is not a good-looking lamp, hum... She also awarded Yang Shi a title, which is really calculating. On the one hand, she declared the world and told others that Yang Zaisi has become her right-hand man. Even a servant is like this, will others not be volatile? On the other hand, she is using this to test this palace. She wants to see if this palace will object, and how to object. This woman is unfathomable and has done many things that she does cannot be treated with common sense. It is very difficult to deal with. Do you think I should object?"

Wei Xuanzhen just had a cold face. He refused to speak, but just looked at Wei Hongmin in a sinister way.

At first, Wei had to promote Wei Hongmin. On the contrary, Wei Xuanzhen, the dignified father-in-law, was in a mess. He was dissatisfied, but he did not dare to speak out because of his daughter. Now, all the responsibilities within the Wei family have long been pushed to Wei Hongmin. In everyone's eyes, all this is related to Wei Hongmin. He deliberately did not speak out, just to see what bad ideas Wei Hongmin was going to come up with.

Wei Hongmin just drank wine casually without saying anything. Anything he said now may be attacked by a group of people. To some extent, he has the name of prime minister and no longer has the reality of prime minister.

Wei Anshi wanted to say something, but in the end he just shook his head and smiled bitterly, and did not dare to speak easily.

Wei, who was as cold as frost, seemed to notice Wei Anshi's actions and said, "Anshi, tell me, should I object?"

Wei Anshi hurriedly said, "If you let this matter go, I'm afraid that Wu's family will be more and more powerful. Wu's family is not an ordinary person. Since this move is a test, Yang Shi can be conferred today and tomorrow..."

This is the one that is really worried about.

A small marquis is nothing, but if the court lets the court ignore it and even admits it, then many Yang Shi will come out next.

You can be awarded a title today and an official tomorrow. Once this happens, what will happen next will be terrible.

What does a person live in the world? Isn’t he who wants to be superior? And when Luoyang is there, one more step forward for people, so you can imagine what may happen next.

Wei Anshi said the root of the problem, so he must not indulge it.

Of course, Wei could understand what Wei Anshi meant, but in fact, Yang Shi's title made her feel like a thorn in her throat, so she asked next: "So, Anshi thinks, what should I do?"

Yes, since the problem is serious, how to solve it? Even if you have to oppose it, there should be a solution, right?

Wei Anshi said nothing.

He has no choice.

The children of the Wei family were also silent.

It’s because they are unwilling to do their best, there is nothing they can do.

Of course, it is possible to oppose it, but the fait accompli has been caused. Even if it is opposed, is it effective? The final possibility is that it is just a war of verbal battles that bring the court to the level of the Shence Mansion, which will make people laugh.

With the combat effectiveness of verbal war, the gentry in Guandong is not worse than the imperial censors, let alone the imperial censors may not be willing to work hard. Who knows whether the Wei family can still be as stable as a rock in the future? Once the Wei family collapsed, they will settle the accounts in the future. According to Wu Zetian's traditional techniques, the accounts will be settled very much.

The court directly refused to admit it? What is involved here is the issue of etiquette and law. Among the etiquette and law of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor was even higher than the emperor, and he did have the right to be granted the title, and the objection was invalid.

Of course, the most straightforward way is to simply kill Wu Zetian. Although this is simple and crude, it is very effective. However, Wu Zetian has consolidated the Luoyang Palace and Henan Prefecture is in Qin Shaoyou's sphere of influence. Unless a large army is dispatched to attack, it will be futile.

Is the army dispatched... the daughter-in-law and son sent troops to attack his mother? This is obviously contrary to human ethics.

The people of the Wei family were staring at each other because they suddenly realized that no matter what choice they made, they could not touch the root of the problem.

If you advance, you cannot advance, and if you retreat, you cannot retreat.

This situation is really embarrassing.

Seeing that Wei Anshi did not speak, Wei sighed faintly.

However, at this moment, Wei Xuanzhen said sternly: "At that time, we shouldn't have let the witch Wu family stay in Luoyang, let alone let Wei Zhengde attack Wu family. If it weren't for this, how could we fall into this situation? After all, we still regret it, Wei Hongmin..." Wei Xuanzhen couldn't help but start attacking Wei Hongmin coldly, but the half of the words he said did not continue. It was just to a certain extent that Wei Xuanzhen used this to form a certain deterrence.

Wei Hongmin did not make any noise. He sat down like an old monk, and seemed unwilling to argue with Wei Xuanzhen.
