There is a strong fragrance in the hall, but the fragrance cannot cover the pungent grass stagnation.

There were not many people in the room. An old eunuch was waiting by the side, and two palace maids were carefully dressing up for Lao Wu. What is this? A woman with a strong nature is also a beautiful beauty... (Even if she dies, she must be beautifully buried.

There are also Li Xian and his wife, Shangguan Xiaowan, Li Dan, Dou Lu, Li Guer, Li Longji, and a few grandchildren, but since the third generation, they have not come together.

When Li Guer saw Wang Hua coming, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. Li Chiying looked at Wang Hua. He quickly lowered his head and pinched the corner of his clothes with one hand.

But nothing happened. The ministers arrived, so Wang Hua stood here with an extremely strange identity.

He glanced at everyone, and everyone had sad faces, but the degree of sadness was different. However, Wang Hua still smelled a cat crying mouse from each person's face, and the smell of fake compassion.

I'm afraid even Li Chiying may not have a good impression of this grandmother. Lao Wu killed too many children and even had too many grandchildren for his throne. In fact, if she doesn't die for a day, these people are uneasy. This is reasonable, and Wang Hua did not look down on them.

Wang Hua walked to Lao Wu to salute, and Wu Zetian asked him to sit down.

Seeing him coming, Lao Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, but Wang Hua knew that this was a phenomenon of returning to the light. After a moment of effort, he exhausted the last energy that was hanging, and Lao Wu was about to return.

Lao Wu said: "I heard that you have become the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"

"I have received the order shortly after I received it, but because my leg is injured, it is a bit difficult to walk, so I haven't been to the Ministry of Revenue yet."

"This year you are also in the year of winning the championship. Although you have become the Minister of Revenue, you can barely do it with your talent."

"I dare not, I just want to do my best to live up to the love of your two majesties."

"This is the love that the son emperor has for you, and it has nothing to do with the Ai family. It's just that the Ai family often sighs that you were born ten years later. Otherwise, the Ai family would have allowed you to enter the Three Provinces and Six Ministry one day earlier, and perhaps there would be no turmoil and chaos in the past two years."

"My despair" Wang Hua only said three words, and Lao Wu's words are easy to cause misunderstandings.

"You don't have words yet?"

Wang Hua nodded.

"The Ai family takes a word for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"No need to call His Majesty the Ai family. Just now, the Ai family issued an imperial edict to remove the emperor's title and call him the Great Sage Empress Zetian. It also issued an edict. All the relatives of Suiliang, Han Gui, and Liu Shuang pardoned them." Wang Huaran was silent. This was the last group of people who did not have Kuan Hao. With this group of people, it was equivalent to her denying her revolution completely and returning everything to the origin.

"What should I do if the Ai family helps to get the word Gao Lang. Do you know the source?"

Wang Hua thought for a while and replied, ": I know that from "Ji Zui" in "Daya", Zhaoming and Rong, Gao Lang, and finally there was Chu, and the prince's corpse praised him. I hope that I will be a gentleman and start well and end well."

That's what it means. But Wang Hua was a little uneasy. No matter what, at least what he did now is a gentleman. Besides, Lao Wu said to him that he wanted him to be a hypocrite. Why should he take this word for himself now? Or what did she notice? But she really had no intention of rebellion, and everything she did was ultimately to protect herself. If others did not infringe on him, Wang Hua would definitely be harmless.

"The Ai family knows that your knowledge is always good. But do you know why the Ai family asked Princess Jiu to marry you?"

Why did Lao Wu turn out this question again before he died? Wang Hua answered with a headache: "I don't know."

In fact, after this question was asked, everyone focused. Li Guer looked at these two people worriedly, and Li Chiying also raised her head, and there was some hope on her pale face.

"Actually, the Ai family has always appreciated your talents very much, but it's a pity that you are not the children of the Ai family. But after entering Shangyang Palace, you were very filial to the Ai family, especially this story." Wu Zetian raised his hand and pointed to the book "Dream of Red Mansions" next to him. The manuscript was completed shortly after Wang Hua was guessing in his mind whether this book was filled with Lao Wu's belief in survival? But the book was over, and coupled with what happened in the fourth day of the lunar month, Li Chongjun's life and death were unknown. Wu Sansi was killed by Li Chongjun. The Li Wu alliance arranged by her later years was balanced in the court. At this point, she basically announced that it had all failed, and it still left the root of the turmoil for the Tang Dynasty. So in disappointment, she lost the belief in survival, which led to the worsening of the condition.

Lao Wu also said: "It's just that the ending is not very good, and there are many places behind that are out of touch with the front."

"I feel deeply guilty."

"No, it's just a story. Like the tools you make, it's always a small path. If it's someone else, maybe it's only for a living with it. But it's useless to put it on you. Assisting the emperor in governing the country is your job.

”

"I remember

"There is an iron voucher for death here. The Ai family remembers that the emperor also gave you an iron voucher, but the emperor seems to have forgotten about it."

Li Xian's face turned red because although Zhang Jianzhi and others did not execute him, they had been exiled to Lingnan. Later, when he heard Wang Hua that Zhou Yong would chase Wang Hua, he immediately sent an imperial envoy to issue an edict to ask Zhou Yong to come back. However, Lingnan was far away, and countless mountains and rivers along the way, and no news has come yet. It was only reported that Zhang Jianzhi had died of illness halfway through the road because of his old age and weakness. Although it was not because of Li Xian's order to kill him, it was also because of Li Xian's order to exile.

The main copywriting has been overturned by Wang Hua, and the five kings were wrongly accused.

So after hearing this, Li Xian said: "I will let the other four kings return to the inland to serve as governors of various states. His family members also searched for the town.

"The Ai family knows that you act differently than ordinary people, so it's okay. The Ai family wanted you to become like this back then. But the premise is that you must be loyal to the royal family and the country."

"Your Majesty". Wang Hua still did not change it to the Empress Dowager: "I will be loyal to the Tang Dynasty."

But he changed the royal family and the country to the Tang Dynasty.

Lao Wu didn't hear that in the eyes of ordinary people, the Tang Dynasty represented the country of Li Shi, so after she ascended the throne, she immediately changed the name of the country to Zhou. But in Wang Hua's mind, whether it was the Tang Dynasty or the Sui Dynasty, it did not refer to that country, but to China.

"That's good. Because you act very well, sometimes you will inevitably make mistakes. These two iron vouchers are combined, and I believe that no one will hurt you and your family.

"I thank Your Majesty" Although Wang Hua was a little grateful, he was very disgusted with the matter of iron coupons. Although the iron coupons meant the emperor's favor, after looking through the history books, the chances of those who received the iron coupons and his family members were likely to die ten times more than those of ministers who had not obtained this thing. The more they got this thing, the more dangerous it was. Especially when the two iron coupons were combined, Wang Hua felt very uneasy. If the ruler was disgusted, it was good to avoid death, but there were many ways to live. There were also many ways to live that made life worse than death. Just like the Five Kings who traveled south, they might be bullied by countless gangsters who escorted officials and even women in their families. This way of living was better than to die. Wu Zetian blew his mouth and the old eunuch took out an iron coupon.

Wang Hua leaned down again, and even expressed his gratitude.

"Then the Ai family will talk about your marriage with the little princess."

Wang Hua and Li Buer's faces were once again discolored. They both thought that Wu Zetian had given the iron coupon, which was Long En. He used this Long En to marry Wang Hua and Li Chiying.

But Wu Zetian didn't have this hum: she continued, "Because the little princess is the direct granddaughter of the Ai family, letting her marry you can also be said to make you half of the grandson of the Ai family. What a pity."

She didn't have it, but she understood what she had done. It was originally a good marriage, but Wang Hua chose the difficult one and fell in love with Li Guer.

"Now the Ai family still regards you as half of their grandson, are you willing?"

Wang Hua was stunned for a moment, because he didn't know if this half-grandson was a false reputation, or if he asked him to continue marrying Li Chiying and be half-grandson. He looked at Li Guer, saw her erect belly, he hesitated and said, "I am willing."

With his relationship with Li Guer, it is no exaggeration to have half of his grandson.

But Wu Zetian changed the subject and said, "The Ai family has often recalled what they did in this life over the past year. Some places have done it right and some places have done it wrong. So he ordered the emperor to erect a stone tablet for the Ai family. However, the Ai family still wants to hear what you evaluated the Ai family."

Wang Hua hesitated again and said, "Your Majesty, you have made merits and demerits in your life.

The first contribution is to crack down on conservative aristocratic families. The Western Han Dynasty reduced the vassals and the royal vassals were superior to the imperial power. The defeat of the Eastern Han Dynasty was caused by the Housing family's control of the emperor several times and the eunuchs' chaos in politics, but it was also the dominant family and the people were captured. In fact, the royal family and the country did not get any benefits, so the Zhangjiao Uprising caused the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Therefore, Your Majesty's move has good significance for social progress.

Speaking of this, he sighed, and now all this has brought Lao Wu back to overturn it.

"The second reason is that the contribution is to encourage agriculture and sericulture and reduce taxes and labor, so the country has increased from more than 3 million households in the early years of Emperor Gaozong to more than 6 million households. The third contribution is to stabilize the border, especially the policy of military farming. The fourth is to promote the development of culture. The fifth is to employ people in the wrong family, just like my ministers. If it were not for Your Majesty, I would not stand out. Therefore, there were hidden legacy of Zhenguan during Your Majesty's rule. However, Your Majesty also had many mistakes. During Your Majesty's rule, it hit the conservative family and produced many emerging common people, increasing competitiveness and vitality, but most poor people did not get any benefits. Therefore, the land annexation began to be serious and the number of fugitives increased. Because the combat effectiveness of many famous generals was weakened, there were several defeats. The number of soldiers was killed and the source of soldiers was tight, and the time when the border soldiers were stationed in the border was time. Therefore, the annexation of land began to be serious and the number of fugitives increased. Because the combat effectiveness of many famous generals was weakened, there were several defeats. The combat effectiveness of soldiers was reduced, resulting in a large number of casualties, and the source of soldiers was tight. The border soldiers were stationed in the border for a while.

The system of the government soldiers began to be destroyed. In addition, the belief in the prophecy, worship Buddhism, build temples, build Mingtangs, and build Tianshu wasted a lot of money in the country. For the Zhang brothers, the lord was rich in all directions. The concubines were moved thousands of times. Your Majesty was only a few favors, and it was not surprising that the Zhang brothers should not be allowed to participate in political affairs. There was also a snake that could be feasible, and both ends were strange. They established the crown prince and helped the Wu clan clan, so it also left the root of disaster for the fourth day of the lunar month. In the end, the trust of cruel officials, killed many innocent clan disciples and civil and military officials. Although many people should be killed, some people should not be killed. These people are pillars of the country. Therefore, there were few brave generals on the border and few capable ministers in the court. Fortunately, Your Majesty did not hesitate to use talents at all and allocated many talents to make up for this mistake, and did not cause much harm."

"Your evaluation is quite pertinent, but the Ai family doesn't understand what Mr. Guo meant to the Ai family. Why did he recommend Zhang Shuzhi before he left?

If Qiu Renjie had not recommended Zhang Shuzhi, Zhang Jianzhi would not have been prime minister, or could have avoided the disaster of the Shenlong coup. However, this is only one reason, and the main behind the scenes was Li Dan and Princess Taiping. Zhang Shuzhi was just a person on the table. Of course, in front of Li Dan, it was hard to say it. Wang Hua couldn't say it out, so he calmly replied: "Your Majesty, when Taizong almost dug out Wei Zheng's tomb because Wei Zheng recommended Hou Junji and Du Zhenglun. But when he returned to the Eastern Expedition to Goryeo, he returned.

Wu Zetian said nothing after hearing this. After a while, he said, "Only future generations can evaluate the children. But since you promised the Ai family to be half-sun of the Ai family, there is something to ask for from the Ai family."

"I dare not, please ask your Majesty for instructions." Wang Hua felt very worried when he said this.

"When the Ai family goes, the emperor and the others should have something to do, and they may not be able to do their best to do their best to the Ai family. This is a great regret for the Ai family."

Li Xian and Li Dan were silent. It was not that they should have something to do, but that they would not be willing to keep filial piety for Wu Zetian. Maybe they can keep it, but at most they can keep a filial piety for seven or seven, which is already very filial. Is it possible? It was a full three years.

Wu Zetian continued to say to Yuhua: "So the Ai family wants you to keep a great filial piety for the Ai family.

Wang Hua almost sweated on his face when he heard this. This is a strange request. Although you killed many children, many of them live in the world. Why did I, an outsider, keep you filial for three years? Of course, it would be easier if it was something else, such as banning meat on the day of worship, and going to sweep the graves on the winter solstice in the Qingming Festival. Lao Wu's kindness to himself is not an excessive requirement. It is mainly in the past three years. Wang Hua cannot get married. Seeing that Wu Chongcui is dead, it is still a obstacle with Li Guer and Li Chiying, but the operation has become less difficult. But what changes will happen after three years?

Wang Hua was silent and silent.

Wu Zetian suddenly said angrily: "Don't you want to?"

After drinking, red clouds flew on my face. This was a phenomenon of no-door and it was really almost impossible.

Even Li Xian said, "Mr. Wang, let's agree to Lian's mother, and Lian will compensate you in the future.

Wu Zetian ignored Li Xian's words and breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Wang Hua, this is not your only partner. Human happiness is the future of the Tang Dynasty. Do you want to hide the order?"

Wang Hua was almost fainted. What does it have to do with the future of the Tang Dynasty if I keep you filial? But Lao Wu even brought out the taboo order. He had to kneel down and say, "I will give the order."

"Then the Ai family will be relieved." Wang Hua didn't know what she felt relieved, but she seemed to be relieved. After saying this, a smile appeared on her face and her eyes closed.

Lao Wu finally left, Li Xian and others bent down, but Wang Hua saw that they were all thundering and the raindrops were crying extremely shrill, but he didn't see many tears. Originally, Wang Hua would feel sad when Lao Wu left, but now his mind was in chaos.

Lao Wu called him, and he definitely didn't ask him to talk about her past right and wrong, nor did Qiu Renjie recommend Zhang Jianzhi right or wrong, nor would he give him a word for himself. If that were the case, he would just send someone to convey the order, and dare not accept it? Besides, this word is also very good, Gao Lang and Gao Lang's orders are very auspicious. Therefore, the main thing is to let himself keep this great filial piety. Moreover, the great filial piety is also related to the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty?

This made him puzzled.

And it made him depressed that Lao Wu let out a hand after he said that, and he had no choice but to ask.

At this moment, Li Dan shouted in his ear: "My mother asked you to be a filial piety. She passed away, don't you cry?"

This was a serious matter, and Wang Hua had to cry like Li Xian and the others, but he was crying with each other, but he was both loud and loud, and the raindrops were all thundering, and Wang Hua had squeezed the raindrops for a long time, but he didn't squeeze out a single tear. At this time, the thing he thought most was that he might as well have asked his subordinates to find a spicy comb in South America before they knew that this day, and now he used spicy water to apply it on his eyelids.

After calling for a long time, Li Xian remembered the important matter and immediately told all officials to come to Shangyang Palace to discuss Wu Zetian's funeral, especially the officials of Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites. They would come together.

After a while, various officials came over one after another. They originally wanted to join the Qianling Mausoleum with Li Zhi according to Wu Zetian's will.

But at this time, Yan Shansi, the minister, wrote a memorial to the clamp of the Qianling Mausoleum: "The stone is used as the door and the iron is locked in the crack. Now the door is opened, and it must be dug again. The way of gods is mysterious and mysterious. Moreover, the burial of people is mobilized and mobilized more and more, which may cause many underground spirits to be disturbed. Besides, the burial of the combined burial is not an ancient ritual. During the Han Dynasty, the empress did not have a joint burial with the emperor. It was only in the Wei and Jin Dynasties that the ancient rituals were abandoned, so there was a joint burial. I hope Your Majesty will choose a good place to be the tomb next to the Qianling Mausoleum. If the divine way is known, the secret path should be understood. If he is ignorant, what is the benefit of combining it?"

In fact, I didn’t want Wu Zetian and Li Zhi to be buried together, and I thought Wu Zetian’s actions were unworthy.

But Li Xian still refused to follow.

In the chaos, Wang Hua walked out of the bedroom, and Li Guer followed him again and asked in anger: "Erlang, why do you agree?"

Wang Hua spread his hands and said, "If you think about the kindness of the emperor to me, she used the order to force me. Can I succeed if I don't agree? But what does this matter? At worst, I can wait for another three years, and now you and I are only a little bit of justice, which is different from a couple."

Li Guer was still unhappy.

This requires guidance slowly, so Wang Hua said again: "Vo'er, it's hard to say here. If you go home tomorrow, I will tell you slowly."

He deliberately used the word home.

Li Guer had just wanted to be a little lustful, but Wang Hua was still grinding Lao Wu's thoughts. At this time, when the cold wind outside the hall blew, his mind began to become clear. He thought carefully, ignored the sweat on his body, and thought to himself that fortunately he was happy for Lao Wu. He wrote a book called "Dream of Red Mansions" that made Lao Wu let himself go before he died.
