On the second day of the second month, it was in the blink of an eye. What Su Jijiu thought was better to do, and the chess and piano calligraphy were easier to do, but the painting was a bit difficult to do, so I didn’t pay attention to one content. Not only should I defeat the other party in terms of novelty, but I also had to convince the other party in terms of painting skills so that there would be no bias.

There is also waiting for news from Zhang Sanlong and trying to find a way to rescue his elder sister from the tiger's mouth.

At this time, someone came to the palace, and Wang Hua was reluctant at first. Time was tight, but things were good, and he was angry. The thing he did was really good. Don’t look at it and offend the seven families and ten families, but Wu Zetian must have liked it after hearing it. Didn’t you even send someone to ask for your own question? There is another greater benefit. The court is just a manifestation. Don’t listen to those historical records, like Wei Anshi impeached Zhang Yizhi, and Sima Guang wrote him as a loyal counselor.

There is nothing like that. Wei Anshi came from the Wei family. As the Li Xian Wei family, the Zhang brothers are in charge of power and squeezed the crown prince. They feel uncomfortable. But they are doing nothing to say.

These things cannot be said to be open. Once they are open, everyone feels cold. Oh, it turns out that the so-called loyalty and integrity are just like this. Yes, there are not many people who are truly selfless, and very few. Most of the straightforwardness is based on the premise of interests.

There are also many forces that are not contrary to the seven surnames and ten families. The emerging four surnames of Chang'an, especially the Wei family, were still the main power faction in the future. The Wu surname and Er Zhang in the court were even more incompatible with them. They were not comparable to others, whether they wanted to be honest, whether they were honest or talented. Although these people were all real power factions, they had to stare at the seven surnames and ten families.

After doing this, I am willing to stand up for them without flattering them, so I will make them happy. In order to continue playing with the seven families in the future, and not having to fuck the gods by myself, these people will pave the road for themselves.

As long as you do it properly, you will not let it go. You deliberately curry favor with them, so as to avoid the same people as these people in a few years.

Thinking of so many benefits, he was frowning these days and finally relaxed his eyebrows.

He rode his horse and followed the eunuch to Luoyang City.

It was the 23rd day of the first lunar month. Although the weather was still steep, the ice and snow of the rivers had basically melted. A trace of green could be seen in the withered grass on both sides of the road, and it was thrillingly and quietly.

Wang Huake was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery of early spring, and he was rushing all the way.

Poor father-in-law rode on the horse and kept shouting: "Erlang, slow down, I don't have the ability of you, you want to turn my servant to death.

"Okay Erlang, I really can't stand my butt."

There is no way. Who is the one who is favored by the emperor now? If ordinary people had been riding on horseback, they shouted: "Boy, dare not listen to someone!"

Wang Hua had to slow down his horse speed a little and said, "This eunuch is really tight now, so please forgive me."

"I also know that you have a shortage of time and have to prepare for the challenge, but my body is too resistant to it. Oh, it's not possible."

Several soldiers laughed.

I had to wait for him, and it was too late to arrive in Luoyang.

Before Wang Hua could enter the city, sharp-eyed people saw Wang Hua and began to point fingers.

Here comes the protagonist.

What is this for? Wang Hua is still puzzled. Didn’t the list of articles let Su Jijiu reveal it? Even Lu Ergou was temporarily detained.

The eunuch laughed and said, "Erlang, you don't know yet. I haven't left Luoyang yet, and the whole of Luoyang has been shocked by you."

When Wang Hua heard this, the matter was serious, but it was definitely a good thing. Under the pressure of huge reputation, it was also a kind of force and the power of public opinion! This will protect his own safety, otherwise these families would do the same thing as being anxious to jump over the wall. Although his skills are much better now than before, Wang Hua still doesn't want the incident in Dizixiang again.

When he arrived at the Luo River embankment in front of Tianjin Bridge, Wang Hua tied the horses and waited for the eunuch to come in and report.

In the palace, Wu Zetian was holding a banquet to entertain ministers, but Wu Zetian was old. Although his skills gradually became less peaceful, he did not have the courage and ability of his early years. Because Qiu Renjie died, he did some things a little stupid. He also liked to be lively in his later years and often held banquets in the palace to entertain ministers, mainly talking to the ministers. Once a person was old, he would talk a lot. When this history was recorded in "Zizhi", what happened at the Wu Zetian Palace banquet several times a year.

After listening to the eunuch's report, Wu Zetian thought for a while and said, "Let him come in."

Wang Hua followed the eunuch into the palace and came to a hall. When he saw it, Huo! A large group of people were sitting on a small chair and attending a banquet. Some ministers knew each other, while others did not. There were Princess Taiping and Shangguan Xiaowan also at the banquet.

Don't worry about this for now, come to Wu Zetian to salute.

Wu Zetian first shouted: "Lian asked you, why did you do this!"

Wang Hua now understood Lao Wu's characteristics, so he had to first obey her, and nothing happened. Then he had something to discuss. So he knelt down and said, "I know my mistake, but I have something to say."

"Let's see what you have to say?"

"Then once the little minister says it, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be even more angry. Can you forgive me for not knowing the importance of my words?

When Lao Wu heard this, he was happy. He was indeed brave and even talked to me about the conditions. She said, "Okay, Lian will forgive you for not being guilty, but Lian must listen to a proper reason, otherwise Lian will be polite to you today. Stand up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I just want to ask Your Majesty something. During the Zhenguan period, the Wu Dynasty army was invincible and had no rivals. Now it is still invincible. But Your Majesty cannot deny that there have been some defeats one after another. How dare you ask Your Majesty what is the reason?"

Although Lao Wu was yelling at the verdict, he still had a smile on his face. When Wang Hua asked him, the expression on his face would be as exciting as possible.

Lao Wang and Comrade Lao Ji, who has now been demoted to a little poor minister of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't help it after hearing this, and turned around and laughed secretly.

After a long time, Wu Zetian said, "Okay, you have the ability, so why do you answer the link?"

"Your Majesty, this is something that the little minister is thinking randomly. After all, the little minister has not entered the court, nor has he handled government affairs."

"Okay, don't talk too much, tell me the reason!"

"Your Majesty, at the beginning of Zhenguan, due to the war, there were many fields and few people. There were enough exemption for the troops to farm and support them, so that they could produce enough weapons and horses to buy. But I asked you."

He also asked a little minister, and the ministers' expressions on their faces were terrible.

Wu Zetian even forgot to speak, but just held the ivory chopsticks and looked at Wang Hua. He was neither crying nor laughing.

"There are a few soldiers in the palace who have the exempted land that is really enough to support them? Even people can't support them. How can I get money to buy horses and weapons? What kind of combat power do I have? Going to the battlefield to fight. For example, in the past two years, I have lived a better life and my body has become stronger. But in the past few years, like a small rib, what strength can I have?"

"You don't have the strength to kill the assassin in Dizixiang. Now that you have the strength, can you resist foreign enemies by joining the border?" Wu Zetian said gritting his teeth.

"Your Majesty, after the little minister participates in the imperial examination, he will enter the officialdom. Wherever your master wants his ministers to go, he will go wherever he wants his ministers to die. I dare not die!"

Speaking of now, this is the only thing that is right for Lao Wu’s taste.

"Stop talking about the border, so what if you just walk to Jiaozhi? If you are nostalgic for the prosperity of the capital, then who will guard the border? Who will manage the remote areas?"

This sentence was even more correct for Lao Wu's taste. Her face calmed down slightly and she said, "You can continue to talk about the reason."

"I don't know the other reasons." There are also some reasons, such as Wu Zetian killed many famous generals, replaced the Li Tang royal family with Wu Zetian, and gave these foreigners a good reason to rebel, etc., but Wang Hua dared not say it.

But before Wang Hua finished speaking, he said again: I have another word to say, and I have to ask Your Majesty to forgive me before I dare to say it.

"Okay, Lian Xu you are innocent." Wu Zetian's expression of calm just now stretched out his face again, and his teeth were almost making a sound.

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he is also a wise monarch of his generation. Since he ascended the throne, he has worked diligently to govern the people of the country."

"Okay, you tell the main topic of the couplet."

"Okay, that's what I said."

This time, the minister finally couldn't help but laugh together. Even Wu Zetian was amused by Wang Hua. She said, "If you want to give advice, please give advice. Don't be foolish. Lian is not so stupid as to the point of not being able to distinguish right from wrong."

"Okay, my sister said that although Your Majesty is wise and powerful, how is the situation of fleeing households over the years compared to the beginning of Zhenguan?"

When the minister heard this problem, he immediately stopped his smile. The topic was too big and heavy. Since Wu Zetian, he has been worried about it, but it has never been solved. Finally, until Huang Chao brought a chrysanthemum kill, pulling away the dying paper tiger in the late Tang Dynasty and starting to rule.

I dare to ask Your Majesty what is the reason?”

Lao Wu heard some words and said solemnly: "What's the reason?"

In fact, she couldn't not know the reason, but even though she knew, she could not stop it. Now she wanted to hear some new ideas from Wang Hua's mouth.

"Actually, Your Majesty must know the reason, it's the problem of land. At the beginning of the country, there were few people and many fields, so there was no need to worry about farming. But now the country is peaceful, which is a good thing, but the population is growing sharply, so the fields are gradually in short supply. Another thing is to invade. Like the Zheng family, I don't talk about good or bad, and they are all so rich, but even my small porcelain kiln is not spared. Snowballs are rolling up like this, and they are rich and powerful, one county, one state, and one road. Finally, they have money, power, and one people. Why do the court handle themselves? Or are the countries competing for power in the Spring and Autumn Period?"

This sentence can be said to be a heart-killing statement, and many ministers' faces changed color!

Prevention: I woke up this morning and had a headache, but when I saw the soaring monthly tickets, I was really moved. Thank you brothers. The waiter has already taken the second place. I thank you very much forever! There are still half of this month, and there are still sixty tickets left from the top, not much! Let us use monthly tickets one by one to accompany the waiter on a gorgeous road to the top of the list!

Thousands of words, but the same sentence is still the same. If you don’t have any falsehood, you will be unable to repay. You will try your best to make another big violence come sooner. Although there is no manuscript saved, you will have four big violence opportunities this month.
Chapter completed!
