Chapter five hundred and ninety third: the emperor enters the palace
Empress Wei squinted her eyes and swept across the timid people.
At this time, she, who had once expanded her ambition, was deeply powerless.
People's hearts are in a favor, and they didn't think there was anything in the past, but now they find it so terrible.
She had to take a deep breath and said slowly: "You guys, is there any way? The emperor's intention is not good, so I will just say it straightforwardly. She is for me and for you. This woman is definitely not a good thing. If I let it go, no one will have good results."
She was willing to do anything today. She would have called Wu Zetian that woman unless she was treated as a close relative. At least in front of others, she would always show some harmony with her emperor. But now, there was no last cover, just because... she found that she had no choice.
So she looked up at the people, and saw that everyone was still silent, she sneered: "At the beginning, didn't you all think you were Guan Zhong Leyi? Why... Now, you have no choice but to do anything."
"Empress..." Wei Anshi hesitated for a moment, and at this time he had to stand up and speak.
Wei Anshi's life was not easy. Thinking back to the beginning, in the three provinces, Wei Hongmin was suppressing him. When Wei Hongmin disappeared, Wei Xuanzhen came again. Wei Hongmin was actually quite convinced. However, although Wei Xuanzhen had a relatively noble status in the Wei family, Wei Anshi never cared about him.
He knew in his heart that with the ability of this father-in-law, he could not accomplish anything big, but he still wanted to surrender to him and help him wipe his butt. Now, Wei Xuanzhen has gone to Hangu Pass, and it is finally Wei Anshi's turn. Wei Anshi has to say a few words: "Empress... what the emperor relies on is His Majesty's serious illness. Because His Majesty is seriously ill, the court and the country are suspicious and uneasy, and the three princes are even more frightened, and the ministers have spread it one after another.
Rumors. It is precisely because of this that the emperor took advantage of this loophole. Those who don’t know the truth thought they could rely on the emperor to maintain the balance of power in the court and to raise their value. As long as Your Majesty can recover from the illness, the emperor will not be troubled. Therefore... the crux of the problem is not the emperor, but the emperor, I heard that the emperor has woken up, but he has just recovered from a serious illness and is weak. Why not let Your Majesty summon all officials to calm everyone down, so this may be possible..."
"Mr. Anshi, this is a bad word." At this time, the young minister stood up. It was Wei Chengqing, the son of the Huangmen. Wei Chengqing was a descendant of the Wei family. He was quite arrogant as a newborn calf and was not afraid of a tiger. He said mercilessly: "If it were a few days ago, my uncle could say this. Everyone was afraid and uneasy. So if the emperor stood up and summoned the ministers and appeased the princes, the matter would naturally be calmed down. It's a pity... Now it's different from the past. Now that the emperor has come, the three princes have also gone to see her big carriage, and some people from both ends of snakes and rats have also carried the emperor's sedan chair. Now, even if it's
Is it useful to summon all the ministers and princes? In the past, they could still be both snakes and rats, but now they have completely offended our Wei family and stood directly on the opposite side of the Wei family. They have all reached this point. Even if the emperor saw them, they have relieved some doubts. But are they not afraid. Even if they can survive today, after three, five, ten years, after the emperor has any more accidents, the Wei family will not attack them? The uncle's words are too self-deceptive. Now, they have already tore their faces apart. It is no longer the emperor who summoned them and comforted them, and then they can make up for the same thing as before."
What Wei Chengqing said is indeed very reasonable.
A few days ago, those who were anti-Wei could still be hunched up and continue to be their turtle. The world of the Tang Dynasty was gone. Although they were desolate and hated to the extreme, they could at least save their lives. Who would be the emperor? Everyone has old mothers and wives and children. Not everyone wants to be a righteous man. So as long as the emperor is still there, they will always give them a reason to continue to live in poverty. They will still be obediently.
But now, when they all emerge one by one, they all die at this point. Today, relying on the emperor, everyone can continue to have a few days of peace, but what about the future?
In the future, the Wei family will eliminate them and get the chance. Even today, the Wei family can say that they will not blame each other, but do they believe it?
For example, the second prince Li Chongfu, who used to be timid, because he always had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and felt that he had not provoked the Wei family. Perhaps... there was still some room. Once his father passed away, the Wei family might not be able to usurp the throne. It is not certain that it is possible that he could succeed the throne.
And now... now he has been holding the emperor's stinky feet and standing opposite to the Wei family. Who among the Wei family will believe that he will take it seriously and protect the interests of the Wei family in the future?
Since once he ascended the throne, the Wei family may encounter a catastrophe, then it is obvious that if the Wei family is Wang Mang, any possibility will be eliminated.
Since Li Chongfu has made his choice, his only chance is to go all the way to the dark, and he will fight with your Wei family, because... the last glimmer of hope has been cut off, and it has nothing to do with whether his father is here or not.
Li Chongfu is like this, and the rest of the people are not like this.
Empress Wei's face suddenly changed.
Obviously he also understood that although Wei Chengqing's words were very rude, he even felt that the young man's remarks were a bit too extreme. But the truth was indeed the case.
The emperor calculated this time. She came to Chang'an. To some extent, she was fishing these anti-Wei people out of the water. Once these people emerged, they would not be able to fight against Wei even if they didn't want to. Apart from rolling up their sleeves and fighting to the death, would they have any choice?
This...maybe it was Wu Zetian's plan. I have to say that this move... completely reversed the situation, formed a royal family and an old minister of the Tang Dynasty, and a Shen Ce army outside. With this alone, he was almost invincible.
Seeing that everyone was moved, Wei Chengqing said loudly: "At this point, we must make the worst plan, rather than have any hope. I think that the Empress should not have a complacent heart for the sake of the world, for the Wei family, and for the nobles here. Since the Wu family entered Chang'an City, the first thing that is to stabilize the imperial guards and the princes in each town should also be appeased. His Majesty, holding national weapons and controlling the imperial guards, is the vast majority of the generals who are disciples and former officials of our Wei family. They are uneasy at this time. They must not let their hearts shake, it is nothing more than promises.
It's just a generous salary. In addition, the princes in each town should take the opportunity to make friends. In fact, the current situation is not too bad for us. Qin Shaoyou collected the princes in Henan Prefecture, and was a dignified governor of the five towns, but in the end he became a lackey of the Shence Mansion. I'm afraid that the governors of each town will see it. Most of them are still scared. What they rely on now is to act independently. How could they hope to become princes in the five towns, and instead become vassals of Qin Shaoyou and others? Therefore, the empress should send envoys to the towns to explain their interests. I believe they will understand the painstaking efforts of the empress."
"The third is how to deal with the Emperor. The Emperor always wants to enter the palace. Since he has entered the palace, the imperial guards in the palace are always the vast majority of the people who are still there. As long as the Empress is strictly guarding it, she will become a bird in a cage. The Empress can enshrine her, but cut off her contact with the outside world. What can the Emperor do if she can?"
"The three princes... cannot move lightly at the moment. I have a plan. Do you want to hear it?"
He was so polite that he was talking very well. The Wei family... were not entirely a group of wine bags. At least Wei Chengqing, the junior, was quite insightful.
At this time, Wei Shi nodded quickly: "You continue talking."
Wei Chengqing said: "Empress...it's time...it's time...it's time for the crown prince. After His Majesty wakes up, he should immediately make the third prince Li Chongjun the crown prince, inform the world, and ask Li Chongjun to move to Longmen."
The third prince Li Chongjun was established.
Wei's eyes narrowed, and the other people's faces couldn't help but feel thoughtful.
It seems...this is a good move.
Among the princes, most people think that the second prince Li Chongfu is the eldest son and should be the best candidate for the prince.
But now... the third prince was appointed. At least on the one hand, this prince could ease the conflict with the old ministers of the Tang Dynasty, which gave them some hope.
But the crown prince is the third prince... Although some of the confidants of these third princes are happy, no matter what, this prince who is absolutely impossible to be the emperor now has great hope. Some people are afraid that they are willing to carry the sedan chair for the third prince.
But what about Li Chongfu?
Li Chongfu was the eldest son. How many people once put their hopes on him? It can be said that among the old ministers of the Tang Dynasty, there were many people who supported Li Chongfu, but now... the prince has become someone else. Is Li Chongfu willing to accept it?
As long as you are not convinced, it will cause trouble within Xiao Wall. Even if everyone still maintains a relationship on the surface, but in the mainland, I am afraid that I will not be willing to contribute more to the other party.
Wei Anshi couldn't help but frown. He thought this method was good. But... after thinking about it, Wei Anshi said: "There is nothing wrong with this method, but... it's just... until now... Li Chongfu and Li Chongjun may not be willing to take the bait. After all, the Empress is still their biggest concern..."
Wei Chengqing said: "The problem is here. The Empress should be sick at this time..."
Wei Anshi was stunned for a moment and looked at Wei Chengqing in surprise: "What did you say?"
Wei Chengqing said seriously: "The Empress should be in shock and anger at this time. She will not be able to get sick. This matter in the court will temporarily be dealt with by the emperor and Anshi Gong. In the eyes of outsiders, the Empress was frightened by the emperor. As long as the Empress will not ask about political affairs from today, the Li family members, even if they are still worried, will wait until the Emperor summoned Li Chongjun to see him and ask him about his well-being. Next..."
call……
Retreat to advance.
What is Queen Wei’s biggest trump card? In the eyes of the world, her biggest trump card is the authority she holds now, but in fact, her real trump card is Li Xian, the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
As long as the emperor still obeys Wei's words, it doesn't matter whether Empress Wei holds great power. Instead of standing on the front, it is better to retreat behind the scenes. In this way, the doubts of the people in the world can be dispelled.
As long as the emperor is willing to follow his advice and then divide the prince and isolate Wu Zetian from the outside dynasty, then everything... has a chance to turn around.
Wei was silent for a long time, and she finally raised her eyes and looked at Wei Chengqing: "What position are you doing now?"
Wei Chengqing bowed and said, "I am the son of the Huangmen."
Huangmen Lang was actually the subordinate minister. During the Qin and Han dynasties, he was an official position of eunuchs, but now he is one of the more important professions.
Wu Ze**** her head: "Tomorrow, go to the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, well... this is not the meaning of this palace, it is the meaning of Your Majesty."
Wei Chengqing raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Zetian. She knew in her heart that the next actions of Wei would be related to her suggestions: "I thank you."
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Wei Xun arrived at the palace city with a mighty man.
Since Wu Zetian came to Chang'an, she would inevitably enter the Daming Palace. Countless people followed the emperor, especially the three princes, and sent her to the palace gate. When Wu Zetian's carriage and horses entered the door hole of the palace gate, everyone bowed and watched the emperor disappear into the door hole.
The car driver went in directly, and then Empress Wei had already brought the officials in the palace to wait here.
"My daughter-in-law has seen Your Majesty, and I dare to ask Your Majesty for your safety."
Empress Wei, who was outside the car, looked "ill" and slowly bowed down, and she was as obedient as ever.
The carriage stopped, and Wu Zetian slowly got out of the car with Shangguan Wan'er's support. Her eyes stopped briefly on Queen Wei, but said lightly: "Shang Ke, I'm not dead yet."
Empress Wei chuckled: "Your Majesty laughed. Your Majesty is a man of a thousand gold and has a long life. How can you say such things?"
