Chapter 119 Queen Zhen

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Princess Taiping was watching a piece of information...

The people believed the story of Li Chongjun traveling thousands of miles to join Wang Hua from Funiu Mountain, and at that time, many civilian merchants witnessed it with their own eyes.

But a few people don't believe it.

However, Wang Hua was very clever and could endure it. In the past two years, he came to the northwest, and after many dangers of rising and falling, he did not play this card. So he wanted to blame him, but there was nothing to blame.

So Li Dan sent someone to do some investigation.

Wang Hua took away his confidants, but many servants stayed in his mansion. Wang Hua disappeared for a while and gave them some money in advance. After seeing the mansion being under the supervision of the court, he ran around one by one. After Wang Hua appeared, some people fled to Lingzhou and defected to Wang Hua again. These people asked Wang Hua to arrange them in various places in the northwest. But many people stayed in Luoyang and each made their own careers.

It was these people who Li Dan secretly investigated.

This information was obtained from the investigation, and there were no other clues, but there were two very suspicious ones. The first proved that Wang Hua's injuries had improved a long time ago. The second was that after Li Chongjun was rescued that day, Zhu Tong visited Wang Hua on behalf of the Wang family in Taiyuan, but Wang Hua did not appear until noon. And that day there was a large carriage carrying stones to Wang Hua's house. There was a huge box on the carriage, which was carried directly to Wang Hua's bedroom. Wang Hua and Li Xuejun appeared after the box appeared. The carriage was driven from the edge of the Yellow River.

In other words, if Wang Hua and Li Xuejun were working together that night to kill Huifan and others and rescue Li Chongjun, it would be possible. With their skills and the power behind Wang Hua's back, it would not be difficult to do this.

Then Li Dan secretly investigated the file of that year. There were four people in the scene where Li Chongjun was rescued that year, which made it difficult to associate Wang Hua and Li Xuejun. Although the two footprints were slightly smaller, it made people know that there was a woman involved.

But what if Wang Hua and Li Xuejun checked in front and then turned to the back of the yard? These two people were very good. There were so many guards in the palace who took action, and even Yang Sixu did not keep them. With their skills, it would be easy to do this. That is, there were four people, but in fact they were two people. This explained the scene.

Another thing is that when Wang Hua broke out of Luoyang, he dived out of Luoshui. He was very familiar and familiar with the road. Obviously, it was not the first time he dived out of the city from here. This makes people even more confusing.

But this is just a speculation. Wang Hua lets Li Chongjun appear in Wuzhou, not Lingzhou, and he does it without any loss of water and cannot be impeached.

Li Dan smiled bitterly, no wonder he came up with two unknown questions and asked Li Longji to guess.

In fact, Wang Hua had no intention of supporting his father and son, so he had already had personnel arrangements.

This is all wronged Wang Hua. If Li Longji could really guess, Wang Huazhen would help him.

It’s not that there is no answer, it’s just that the answer is very strange.

Princess Taiping put down the information and said, "Fourth brother, I have brought good news."

"Taiping, tell me," Li Dan said listlessly. Originally, it was difficult to turn around because Wei had mobilized the army and controlled the government. Now Wang Hua has supported Li Chongjun again. Under these two heavy pressures, his hope is even more vague.

"I'm looking for another thing these days, the cause of death of the late emperor. Finally, I have some clues. On that day, Wei put down his body and begged for mercy from the late emperor. I don't know what methods did it to make the late emperor happy. So he invited her to have a meal. It turned out that the food and wine were all tried by the late emperor's confidants. There was no problem. But at the critical time, the queen had to dance a newly learned dance and use this excuse to send the servants down. Later, the queen wanted to sing and call someone to get the piano. Afterwards, she killed all the palace servants. But she didn't expect that because she saw her reconciliation with the emperor, when she sent these people out, these eunuchs and palace maids talked about this matter to others. Therefore, many people knew about the incident. However, they were afraid of the queen's viciousness and dared not say it. There was another thing. When playing the piano, the emperor was fine and only drank a glass of wine in the middle. The queen would go back and forth.

Everyone killed her and thought that this was done perfectly. But I didn't know that in order to prove that she was innocent, when the Yulin Army arrived, she talked with the imperial physician and used the fear of the imperial physician to force the imperial physician to say something that suddenly appeared in the dark. She deliberately said that the emperor was safe when she was playing the piano, and killed the imperial physician and the eunuch palace maid. However, some Yulin Army soldiers still saw a large piece of blood on the corner of the emperor's mouth, as if they had vomited blood before the collapse of the emperor. So I asked some doctors again. They all said that the sudden loss of the heart yang, although it was heart disease, can also cause sudden death, and should not vomit blood at the corner of the mouth. If the blood was vomiting from the corner of the mouth, there were most likely three possibilities: one was poisoning, the second was serious injury, and the last one was also caused by illness, such as chronic diseases such as stomach or tuberculosis, which did not receive timely medical treatment, and suddenly attacked caused violent death."

Li Xian could not have died of serious injuries. If it was a chronic disease, there would be no medical treatment in the end. It would be impossible for Li Dan or the ministers in the court to hear any noise. Therefore, there is only the first possibility.

Princess Taiping said again: "These two Yulin soldiers have received great rewards from me. When it comes to the critical moment, they will stand up and prove the matter."

Li Longji, who had never spoken aside, looked at Princess Taiping in surprise.

It is difficult for the soldiers of the Yulin Army to bribe him. He has been asking Wang Maozhong to do this, but Princess Taiping almost found out the truth about Zhongzong without knowing it. This method made him secretly shocked.

However, Li Dan admired his sister's talent and skills very much.

He still said listlessly: "Taiping, if this news had been obtained some time ago, it might have been helpful, but now..."

Princess Taiping was also scolding Wang Hua in her heart, and it turned out that she had played with her mother.

She felt even more wronged than Li Dan. Li Dan was somewhat more worried about face, and she did not ask for softness like Wang Hua. At most, she sent Li Longji to Lingzhou twice. But she posted it herself, and what did Wang Hua think of it? Thinking of this, she thought it was too ridiculous, so she posted it to her daughter. She also wrote almost lingering poems. This is not counting, she has helped Wang Hua many times.

But Wang Hua did not take himself seriously at all.

I was smart all my life, but I was actually fooled by this Wang Xiaoer as a monkey.

In fact, the political situation is unpredictable. Today is Hedong and tomorrow is Hexi. It is normal for Wang Hua to make this choice. If it were Princess Taiping, he would also make this choice. However, when it happens to him, he will always feel uncomfortable.

But she is strong in mind and wise in mind. She is only stronger than Wei Shi. Otherwise, Wei Shi would not have controlled the court for so many years and was still afraid of her. Because Wei Shi also felt that if the power was equal, she would not be able to beat Princess Taiping.

She thought for a while and said, "It may not be possible that there is no room for salvation."

"Taiping, let's talk about it." A trace of hope appeared in Li Dan's eyes.

Princess Taiping said slowly: "I also heard this news. Whether it was Guo Zhiyun who welcomed Li Chongjun or Wang Hua who welcomed Li Chongjun, he did not make a clear statement. Wang Hua only said one sentence, I am very suspicious, but I can't give you an answer before there is evidence. It's so difficult to think about evidence."

Li Dan nodded.

Although Princess Taiping brought some evidence of right and wrong, how did this come about? The process in between was thrilling, but outsiders didn't know it.

Even with his own ability, he was investigating the matter, but he had no idea. But Wang Hua, he had no ability to arrange his confidants in the palace, and he had no way to investigate, so where to get evidence. Even the news obtained by Princess Taiping cannot be regarded as evidence, strictly speaking.

Just as Guo Zhiyun said, could it be that the codon was opened?

Who dares to do this ruthless thing? Who will bear the consequences? Besides, the third brother will be buried soon and then the tomb will be opened for examination?

Princess Taiping said again: "So this sentence is delaying time. Since Wang Hua asked Li Chongjun to appear, why did he delay time? I have an idea, not because of the military force. Although Tubo fought with the Blood Camp again, Guo Yuanzhen's military strength was the main force. Moreover, after the end of this battle, Tubo may not have the courage to launch another attack. So what is the problem? Dayi"

I won't explain much after I finish speaking the two words.

Although Li Chongjun is the genuine crown prince, he is not sure where the crown prince who was the last order of Wei. However, due to the palace changes in a few years, he was charged with rebellion. So this is a great righteousness, but the great righteousness is insufficient.

Princess Taiping briefly explained and continued to say: "Wang Hua may have asked Li Chongjun to appear first, hang up this sign, and then spread public opinion, which shows that Li Chongjun was wronged and persecuted by the queen and Wu Sansi, and wanted to revive the court, so he launched a coup. After he was rectified, it was time for him to send troops."

"Taiping, you're right, but what opportunities do we have?"

"I just figured out a solution," she muttered a few words in a low voice.

Li Dan believed and doubted.

Princess Taiping said: "I don't know whether it is right or wrong. Now I can only bet, bet whether I have read Wang Hua wrongly, and whether I have read Li Chongjun wrongly. If I have read it right, we will have a good opportunity. If I have read it wrong, all major things will be gone."

Speaking of this, she sighed.

After all, these consequences were all caused by the sluggishness of Wang Hua back then. It’s too late to regret it now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Li Dan and Princess Taiping were worried, but Zhu Wei heard the news, he was like an ant on a hot pan.

If you do evil, you will die. Li Dan and Princess Taiping are worried about the dispute over the throne, but they are not worried about life safety. Li Dan has Li Chiying, and Princess Taiping has herself. The throne is far away, but life will not be in danger. However, Wei's ruler may attack them.

But the Wei family was very scared. Besides, I heard that the person who betrayed the blood camp back then was probably Wei, and the hatred became even greater.

Wei summoned all his important confidants to the inner palace to discuss the matter.

Wei Wen said: "Empress Dowager, boy is rampant. Let's mobilize the army to conquer the northwest. It is always a disaster for this boy to stay."

He is now in charge of the affairs of the internal and external guards of the imperial court, and is ambitious, so he is not afraid of having teeth when speaking.

Almost all talented people ignore his words.

In the attack on the northwest, Zong Chuke and Chang Yuankai dispatched 280,000 troops. What's the result? Don't think that the Tang Dynasty could recruit many troops, but the more troops they received, the heavier the burden. In the attack on Goryeo, only more than 300,000 troops were dispatched at most. Li Shimin still regretted his Meng Lang and great joy in his heart.

Of course, the attack on Goryeo is because of the long distance and the consumption is even heavier. But if you pull out the troops that the entire Tang Dynasty can mobilize, Youzhou must prevent the Turks? You have suffered a loss. If you are stubborn, if you let Mochu attack, the people of the world will not be convinced. Jiannan also needs to send troops to garrison. There are other important places, how many troops can be drawn in this scattered way? 400,000, or 500,000? But don’t forget that in the battle in spring, the number of enemies dealt with by the Blood Camp exceeded 600,000 people.

Even if Guo Yuanzhen had a tacit understanding with Wang Hua, even if Mo Chuo was cunning, he would not have any effort between the two moves. However, the 200,000 Tubo army actually wanted to defeat Wang Hua, and with the imperial army, the number was approaching 500,000. Moreover, Guo Yuanzhen and Mo Chuo distracted some of the blood camp's attention.

Also, now that Li Xian is dead, the border officials will not obey Wei's transfer, or like Guo Yuanzhen, they will be lip service?

When Li Xian was in charge of the Northwest, he didn't dare to attack the Northwest. He was in charge of power at the hands of Wei. The political situation was not stable, so dared to attack the Northwest?

Wei looked at Wei Juyuan, and Wei Juyuan stammered: "Or, immediately recruit a large army to defend Chang'an and Luoyang."

When I said this, I was very confident.

It turned out that it was a little better, so I could defend it. Now it is northwest to Yinshan County, Shengzhou and Linzhou, and south to Wuzhou and Dangzhou. The boundary is thousands of miles long. If you don’t conquer, it will be more difficult to defend. It is to transfer hundreds of thousands of troops, one to the east, one to the west, one to the west, one to the sky, one to the sky, one to the sky, one to the sky, and one to the sky, and one to the sky, just so that the Blood Camp can take advantage of the advantages of fast speed and strong maneuverability to form a situation of fighting more with less and eating one by one. The Blood Camp’s troops are at the city of Chang'an, which has proved this.

Wei shook his head and looked at Wei Sili again.

Wei Sili is now in a mixed mood. Speaking of which, he is not from the Wei family, but from Yuanyang, Henan. Moreover, his father Wei Siqian and his brother Wei Chengqing are both prime ministers. The father and son have three prime ministers and four positions replaced. Since the Tang Dynasty, no one has ever been there.

Moreover, when he first entered the official career, he also made achievements, especially when he was the county magistrate of Shuangliu County, his political achievements were significant. When he was the Minister of Fengge, cruel officials were rampant and everyone was in danger, but he dared to stand up and propose to build a school, which was a waste of money and was clear for a while, which made people stand by.

He also wrote a "Commentary on Advice for the Prohibition of Officials", which talked about the idea of ​​employing people and using officials, and was one of the famous admonitions of all dynasties.

However, because his brother was following Zhang Yizhi to get benefits and his career was disastrous, his psychology changed and he also joined Zhang Yizhi's subordinates. After the two Zhangs were executed, Wei Sili was demoted to Raozhou. Later, after his careful actions, he was transferred back to serve as the Minister of War. His mentality changed again, so he didn't think about it anymore. Because he had the same surname as Wei, Wei also valued his family and fame, and issued an edict to attach his ancestry to Wei's family, and he actually agreed.

Since then, he has become Wei's loyal lackey.

Wang Hua said when commenting on this person: "Wang Jingwei."

People at that time didn't know where the origin was. Could it be that the water submerged the Jingwei bird?

But it can also be explained in a good way. When Wang Qingwei was a young man, he was arrested when he assassinated Zaifeng. He once wrote a poem: Song generously in Yanshi, calmly as a prisoner in Chu; when he leads his sword to become a quick man, he will live up to the young man.

If you read this poem, it might be written by Liu Hulan or Dong Cunrui, but it is indeed from the hands of this great traitor.

Wei Sili's journey of heart is similar to that of Wang Jingwei.

His keen intuition from his years of political work told him that this time was not good news.

Although Wei now controls the court power, but Li Xian died of unknown reason, there are still many unfair people below. If Wang Hua did not have Wang Hua, he could calmly remove Princess Taiping and Li Dan. After a while, the overall situation can be determined.

But once Wang Hua opens this head, there may be wildfire behind him.

There is another point different from Wu Zetian's time. When Wu Zetian ascended the throne, several famous military generals in the court expressed their support for her for wealth, which made Wu Zetian quickly quell the rebellion of Xu Jingye. However, the famous generals in the court are nothing more than Guo Yuanzhen, Zhang Renyuan and Xue Ne, but they all have disagreements with Wei.

Wei looked at him, but he couldn't help but answer. Wei Sili thought for a while and said, "I also have a way to marry the princess immediately and win over Wang Hua. It is important to be harmonious. Wang Hua has been trying to marry the princess for nearly ten years and has not achieved his wish. If the court gives special rewards this time, he will definitely thank the queen mother for her kindness."

It turns out that this sentence can still make Wei listen. Today she just walked out of Shangyang Palace and even put harsh words on her daughter. Therefore, Wei said, "Don't mention this matter."

If you don’t mention it, Wei Sili immediately shut up. But he was spinning in his mind. How can he whiten himself?

It was so difficult. When he thought of the mark of Wei on his body, he thought with emotion in his heart.

At this time, Shangguan Xiaowan said, "Empress, I have a way."
