Chapter 51 Support (Part 2)
In fact, there are still a few things I don’t know about each other’s paintings. The reason why Wu Zetian moved the capital to Luoyang was so energetic that he re-established an organization to show that it was different from the Tang Dynasty. Not only that, because after arriving in Luoyang, he rarely had nightmares, and he found a group of famous cats to tame it. But it is unknown whether she wanted to tame the cat or the ghost of Concubine Xiao Shu.
So a funny scene appeared in history books. Under the taming of the eunuch, a cat and a parrot lived peacefully. Lao Wu took it out to show it to all officials. This was a strange thing. The officials were watching, but after watching for a long time, they forgot something. The cat was hungry. The famous cat pounced on the parrot and bit it to death and ate it. The officials were stunned. Lao Wu was very ashamed. So in the future, Lao Wu was not allowed to raise cats even in the Luoyang Palace.
Lao Wu suddenly changed the subject and asked Wang Hua: "Do you know why Lian appreciates your battle with the seven surnames?"
Wang Hua replied honestly: "Because in order to protect yourself, I have also tore open the hypocritical veil of the seven surnames."
"Good saying it" Lao Wu slapped his palm twice, and in the empty hall, several crisp echoes immediately came. She said again: "Everyone says that the children of the seven surnames are from a family and are very well-educated. But Lian personally experienced how hypocritical the seven surnames are. Do you know why they are too focused on Wei Zheng, and they are all very much like the Du?"
Wang Hua was not used to her jumping questions and answers. He honestly replied: "Because the Duke of Wei spoke frankly and dared to advise."
"Haha, you don't know this." Wu Zetian burst into laughter and said, "Taizong has countless famous ministers, and he has become generals and prime ministers. Li Jing and Li Ji. The prime ministers are dedicated, Fang Du and Fu Zuxiangming, Wen Yanbo, Wang Jia, and even the ministers include Xiao Li, Ma Zhou, Dai Zhou, and Liu Bo who was killed by Chu Suiliang. Which of the achievements of these people is not above Wei Zheng or comparable to that of Wei Zheng? Not to mention that Wei Zheng also helped Jiancheng the prince and repeatedly became enemies with Taizong. Why did Taizong favor Wei Zheng alone?"
"I really don't know this minister."
"It was so good at that time. A dou of rice was only worth three or four yuan, and there were only dozens of death row prisoners executed in a year. Unfortunately, only one national elder could compare with these famous officials," Wu Zetian said with infinite yearning.
Wang Hua didn't say anything. Although Li Shimin had three-quarters of the Hu blood, he was indeed the greatest emperor in Chinese history, and almost no one had the prosperity he created. His words and deeds were almost the same as those of emperors later. The most awesome thing was that he allowed more than 300 death row prisoners to go home and reunite with his relatives and then returned to die, but none of them ran away. However, it was probably because the death row prisoners learned in advance that this was a model and would not die, so they would not escape. But it was indeed unimaginable in any era. The common people also did not close their doors at night. Can they do it now? Many robbers began to appear. Lao Wu was powerful only, in terms of tolerance, employment, governance of the country and foresight. There was still a considerable gap with Li Shimin.
It’s not that there is no talent, but that Lao Wu does not know how to use talent without Li Shimin. The simplest example is that Xiao Pin, a treacherous minister of the Sui Dynasty, came to Li Shimin's hands. He dared to give advice, and was not even as good as Fang Du. But Li Shimin was indeed so generous to Wei Zheng that he could not imagine. He once said, Xuanling used to rule the world from me, and Wei Zheng and I were at peace with the world. I mean that I was so good at governing the world, and half of the credit was from Wei Zheng.
Just by this sentence, there is endless room for imagination.
Therefore, Lao Wu said that Li Shimin was favored by Wei Zheng only, and although he was biased, he could not say that it was unreasonable.
Wu Zetian said again: "In fact, it is mainly because Shandong is different from today's Shandong. It refers to the area east of Taihang Mountain and north of whom." Shandong? Wang Hua lost his spirit, why is this related to Shandong? But I believe that Lao Wu's words will not be aimless. Wang Hua listened curiously.
"The heroes from Shandong were born. Wei Zheng once advised Taizong to practice the emperor's way and the king's way. However, Taizong himself had ambition to rule from chaos to great rule and what kind of way to rule. He was ambitious and encouraged the ministers to give advice. But he had no confidence. Especially in Shandong. Although he defeated King Huan and pacified the Dongdu, Emperor Gaozu did not ask him to inquire about Shandong affairs. He defeated Liu Moge again and was hurriedly recalled to Xijing. After defeating Xu Yuanlang, he immediately worked hard and did not stay for a long time. However, during these battles, he realized that Shandong heroes were a force that cannot be ignored, so he sent Zhang Liang's team to join Shandong heroes to wait for change."
This is really a secret. Wang Hua listens to it like listening to a mythical story.
"There are also a few of the eighteen scholars around Taizong from Shandong, but they are all from Shandong gentry and do not know about farmers. There are also military generals such as Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong, and Zhang Liang, who are also from Shandong. But they are all military generals and lack knowledge. Only Wei Zheng is young and poor, and has great ambitions. He likes to study when he became a monk. Therefore, he is familiar with the situation of the peasants and the situation of the country, especially the situation of Shandong farmers. Only after this question was asked, he entered Taizong's vision."
So that's it, but why are you talking about this with me? What is the connection with the battle between the seven surnames?
Sure enough, Lao Wu said next: "You must be wondering why Lian talked to you about these things?"
Wang Hua nodded.
"Is the biggest difficulty in my Great Zhou now OK?"
"The invasion of the Turks and the escaped households," Wang Hua replied carefully.
"The invasion of the Turks is just a small problem. As long as the internal weather in the Great Zhou Dynasty is good and has strong human and financial resources, it is like a giant man, strong enough. Their invasion will only cause some skin injuries. The escape from home is the real problem, but it is also an appearance, mainly the contradiction between the gentry and the common people."
Wang Hua began to understand her true meaning vaguely.
"The old gentry continued to exist, and the new gentry was born one after another. The land was still so much, and these gentry occupied many resources and were still snowballing. But the people began to grow because of the stability of the country. So, as you said, after more and more fleeing households, there were more people without land, and when the country was fixed, the country was in chaos again. Speaking of the ring, this was the biggest crisis of the Great Zhou."
Wang Hua praised: "Your Majesty is wise, this is extremely true."
This is truly praised.
"Not to praise the Union, not only the Union, but many ministers also recognize this problem. But it cannot be solved. Do you know why the Union values you?"
Wang Hua shook his head. Actually, he already knew a little, but he didn't dare to answer.
"You are from a poor family and know the sufferings of the people. Another thing is that you like merchandise and have little ambitions in the court, so Lian is more at ease with you. There are two more important points, one is that you have a mind. Since you said that in Wulang's mansion, Lian has paid attention to you.
Wang Hua felt a little sweaty. No wonder Lao Wu had nothing to do, so he sent someone to observe him on a flat line.
"Because you have a strong mind to the poor people in the world, you are not rejecting the wealthy people, and you are a rich family, so you can take into account both ends when considering things. You are not the one with this mind. But the couplet has examined you for a while. Although most of the ideas you come up with are wrong ways, you also know the wrong ways, so you even hesitate when speaking with couplets
Wang Hua felt sweaty again, and it turned out that Lao Wu knew everything.
"But Lian also thought that these evil ways can solve some crises at some point. In addition to you, Lian also urged many ministers from common people. However, they were either sinking or becoming new gentry, or had no answer to this question. This disappointed Lian. It's a pity that the ministers in the court were not as good as a yellow-haired boy."
"I dare not take it," Wang Hua said in fear. He was so scared that Lao Wu understood the meaning of his words. Li Shimin liked Wei Zheng because he was knowledgeable. He understood the people, especially the people in Shandong, so he entrusted him with great things.
Lao Wu values herself, and the truth is similar. She is knowledgeable, from a poor family, has an understanding of the root causes of the conflict between the poor people and the society, and has some punishments, so she wants to be her Wei Zheng.
This cannot be spread, once it is spread, I will really become the small broken fishing boat on the top of the wave.
Sure enough, Lao Wu said again: "I originally wanted to say this to you in a few years, but Lian is old. Maybe I will follow Emperor Gaozong to go there on that day. Therefore, Lian specially called you and said this in advance. Taizong could submit the political affairs committee to Wei Zheng, and Lian could also submit the political affairs committee to you one day in the future."
After saying that, he coughed.
Wang Hua's mind was also good, but Lao Wu's words made up so much that he was crying. He couldn't help but kneel down and knocked on the ground with his head. He said, "I dare not take it. But I am willing to be fooled. I will die without hesitation and will serve the emperor."
"Get up" Wu Zetian helped him up.
Wang Hua was still using his sleeve to wipe his tears, which was all shed from his heart.
One is touching, the other is guilt. Since I entered the official career, I did not want to repay Lao Wu. On the one hand, I protect myself, and on the other hand, I protect Li Guer's safety. It's that simple.
"Everything comes out." Wu Zetian slapped again.
Why are there anyone else? Wang Hua raised his head in surprise and heard Lao Wu say that six people walked out from behind the curtain, Li Dan, Li Xian, Princess Taiping, Wu Sansi, Wu Youji, and Zhang Changzhi. They were all shocked. Today, Lao Wu and Wang Hua had a conversation, talked about many secrets, and their emphasis on Wang Hua, which was enough to shock them.
Wu Zetian asked: "I just talked with Wang Ying General, what did you hear?"
Zhang Yizhi replied: "I heard it. I must use the king's camp in the future." "This is just one, what about you?" Wu Zetian turned his head and asked the other five people.
Wu Sansi replied: "Your Majesty means that the country is based on the country and the country is stable, and the border will be safe."
Lao Wu shook his head.
Li Xian replied: "Your Majesty means to be people-oriented. Just as Taizong said, people can carry boats, but they can also overturn boats."
Wang Hua looked at him in surprise, and he didn't seem to have walked out of the mouth of the mediocre Li Xianzhi. He realized in a blink of an eye that this was the inspiration that Lao Wu got when he went to the farm to praise him some time ago.
"Xian'er, you are saying this. No matter how much you fight, you are all royal nobles, a great Zhou, a dignified Zhou, and tens of millions of people are enough to make you. Or your descendants enjoy wealth and prosperity. But you have forgotten this foundation. How many descendants of the Han, Jin, Wei and Sui have continued to stay in the forest of the gentry? The world is in trouble, but it is easy to perish. Emperor Yan only had a great Sui Dynasty for decades, and this is the lesson of your past. This is also the Lian saw you and his servants. Planting those grass and cotton seeds, Lian did not blame you for not misleading your job, but instead praised you. Whether it succeeded or not, it means you have the will. Liandao comforted you."
Wang Hua was amused when he heard this. He secretly looked up at the six people. These six people were the most powerful. They were still shocked, but first Li Dan, Princess Taiping, Wu Youji, and Wu Sansi all came out of the shock. In addition to some surprises, Li Xian and Zhang Yizhi regarded Wang Hua as potential allies, but they were still shocked. The verdict was determined!
But the six people were also trembling. Wu Zetian just said, no matter how hard you fight, he said, and didn't say anything else. The following words, you fight and don't want to hide them from me, I know.
"My son dare not," Li Xian replied.
"Right is right, wrong is wrong, there is nothing you dare not to dare. Therefore, it is better for you to fight openly and secretly, but Lian has never let you attack the king's general. This is the reason. Unless you find a second person to replace it."
"But I don't dare, let alone the blood-word camp, because the generals are transferred from outside, no one is in charge of the You,
After being moved, he became clear-headed. It was not without the fact that Huo Guang, Yi Yin, and Zhuge Liang, let’s talk about Zhuge Liang. At that time, people had already decided on the Three Kingdoms for Liu Bei and had the qualifications. Or he always held power when Liu Bei visited the cottage three times. That’s different. At that time, Liu Bei was like a beggar, and Zhuge Liang was already a famous scholar, and he was probably worthy of Liu Bei. Moreover, Zhuge Liang was twenty-seven years old at that time.
But what about me? I have no qualifications and no connections. Now I have become this person, just as funny as King Xiang of Song dominates the princes and dies faster.
"Well, you are cautious, let Lian like it."
After hearing this, the six people had black lines on their faces. Be cautious. At the age of twelve, they killed people and competed with the Wang family. At the age of 14, they then made an appointment with the Zheng family. At the age of 16, they then led their troops to fight against Fante. At the age of 17, they were even more courageous. They led thousands of people to fight thousands of miles, carrying a hammer, and a single horse. They ran to the tens of thousands of Turkic troops to negotiate with Mochu. As expected, they were very cautious!
"Lianlian has agreed to your three-year agreement, but Lianlian will not let the agreement be. You will take care of the blood camp for another two years. You will enter the court in two years. But Lianlian must also read it. I am afraid that Lianlian may not be able to wait until that day to talk about it, and she has no joy or worry on her face. But this is the truth. From this year on, her originally healthy body has gradually begun to collapse and she often gets sick.
"Lianlian called you to come today, mainly to let these unfilial ministers understand some truths. This is also Lian's consideration for them!"
The six people stepped forward again and said they had reported it to their hearts. But Wang Hua knew. It was possible that they would forget it when they left the hall in front. But it was not easy to refute. Lao Wu meant to pave a way out for him, so that you can grow up with peace of mind, and don’t be distracted. Even if the couplet dies, you should continue to serve the Great Zhou or the Tang Dynasty with peace of mind. I also said similar things last year, but only mentioned him as a silk thread, which allowed the Tang Dynasty to make the political situation smoothly after her death, and did not make any clear explanation for his future reliance.
Now it was clear that the burden was heavier. But it was not Li Qi who lifted him up, which made Wang Hua feel relieved.
The rice is eaten bite by bite. If you don’t know the importance of it, you will choke to death immediately after eating such a big goose egg.
This can be considered as entrusting an orphan, but it is two different things about entrusting an orphan in Baidi City.
"Lianlian asked you again. Lianlian had just talked with you. The matter of the seven surnames, Lianlian said that they were hypocritical. Do you know the reason why the Lian mentioned it."
Wang Hua knew that, first, Wu Zetian's family was born into a commoner and had been contemptuous of the genius, which aroused her sense of rejection of the genius. Another point was Empress Wang, because Concubine Xiao Shuxian was bright and beautiful, and the prince was smart and charming. After Li Zhi took over the throne, Empress Wang felt that Concubine Xiao Shuxian had threatened her. It was Empress Wang who brought Wu Zetian back from the Temple of Grasping Concubine Xiao to deal with Concubine Xiao Shuxian. She did not expect to bring back a big tiger and return to the palace. But Empress Wang's original behavior was also unique. Especially since she came from the well-educated Wang family.
This incident reduced Wu Zetian's favorability for the seven surnames to freezing point.
Wang Hua knew, but he didn't dare to answer.
Lao Wu did not make things difficult for him, and changed the subject. He said: "Lian did not deliberately dislike or suppress them. Similarly, including the seven surnames, and some other outstanding talents from the gentry, Lians will be appointed and promoted in an extraordinary way. But what Lians disappointed is that they knew that they would continue to annex and more people were displaced, but like a vow, there was no time to be satisfied."
Wang Hua shook his head in his heart. This was to call all the elders of the seven clans, and it would be useless to hold them on their necks with a knife. If they really did what they did, without financial resources to support more disciples and subordinates, it was possible that their family would be destroyed before the turmoil came. Moreover, with so many dynasties coming, their family did not fall down. Not only the seven clans, but also the four upstarts in Guanzhong.
But with the arrival of the late Tang Dynasty, Zhu Wen, who had been dismantled from the Tang Dynasty, threw Cui Yuan, Pei Shu, Dugu Lun and other high-ranking court officials into the rolling Yellow River, and an era really ended with the flowing water that was gone.
Speaking of this, Wu Zetian sighed, looked at Wang Hua and said, "In this life, there is no way to determine the conflict between man and earth. Maybe in a few years, I will leave it to you to help the crown prince resolve it."
Facing the powerful gentry, Lao Wu was also helpless. At most, she suppressed and supported more common people to come to power and wanted to eliminate them. She did not have this courage.
Wang Hua thought, you are giving me this task. I can't do it well either. Besides, once you die, you don't know what the political situation will be like. Whether the successor will trust me is all two different things. It's just trust, like Liu Bei to Zhuge Liang, Li Shimin to Wei Zheng, or like Song Shenzong to Wang Anshi, he may not be sure of delegating power to himself. There are too many things involved.
Unless it was like when the Tang Dynasty collapsed, and all systems were completely destroyed, it must be as chaotic as the Five Dynasties, otherwise it would not work if the time was short. The misunderstanding of the scholars was immediately rebuilt. Only when the Five Dynasties were destroyed and destroyed, the gentry would completely disappear.
It is because the aristocratic people have destroyed it, is the problem solved? Or is it not.
But I dare not answer, I am submissive.
After saying that, Wu Zetian said again: "There is another thing in the link. I invite you to come today. I hope to cooperate with the link to see if it is a ghost scare or a ghost scare."
Scaring ghosts? At this time, the sun began to gradually sink into the west mountain. The hall may have been taken care of by Wu Zetian, and no eunuchs have come in and lit candles. Now it is getting dark. The cool evening breeze blows, as if yin energy is flowing. After Wu Zetian's words, several people are terrified.
Chapter completed!
