Crown Tang emperor

Seeing Wu Youyi's anger, the honorable disciples who entered the hall couldn't help being a little panicked, one of them stepped forward and said: "The elders of the family have their own affairs, and they didn't come to tease them in the workshop. The king summoned them temporarily, but the younger generation is here this……"
"Pull it down and beat it with the stick in the court! His relatives and apprentices will not come for a moment, and they will not stop for a moment!"
Wu Youyi couldn't be in a reasonable mood at this moment, let alone such an obvious excuse, so she naturally yelled.
"I am not guilty, how can the king indiscriminately punish..."
"Guilty or not, you will know only through interrogation!"
Wu Youyi sneered again with a sinister look on his face, and turned his eyes to the rest, his expression became even more violent.
A son of Dou's family cupped his fists and said, "Parents are thinking about the appointment, and they have no time to do it at home, so they let the younger generation come in and listen to the teaching."
Hearing this, Wu Youyi looked a little better, and her tone softened: "Your family has a lot of scholars, and you don't rely on one person for family affairs. If Dou Qi is involved in something, send someone else to come forward and tell the story."
While speaking, he turned to look at other people, continued to sneer and said: "There are traitors in Xijing, who don't want to see Xing wish things to happen, and resorted to many schemes, which led to the chaos last night. Qi Zhi, the Duke of the Dou family, and his disciples made an appointment with me again." Donating goods and making money into teasing, acting sincerely, I don’t doubt his family. As for you and others, those who can tell the truth from the quick-spread family will come and discuss who is hiding the traitor!”
After repelling these honorable disciples, Wu Youyi looked at the young king again and said: "King Hedong may not be clever, but after all, you have no power to follow, and you look at too many favors, so you can't go straight to the point. Those old households in Xijing , which one is not weathered? I have long been accustomed to the strategy of avoiding the most important and taking the lightest, and when dealing with them, we must take it straight, not just!"
You just see the loss of family property and are eager to recover the loss.
Even though he thought so in his heart, Li Tong nodded and said, "It really benefits me a lot to stay with you."
"The traitors came and went calmly, and they were able to lay down in the city early. It can be seen that they must not be outsiders. There must be strong clans in Xijing to support them. These people believe in each other and cannot be honest. I have to use their self-awareness to make up for me by donating goods first. Distinguish evil again."
Wu Youyi said here bitterly: "Throw away my family's wealth and spread it in the market, I will make those treacherous people pay back twice as much!"
This time, the various families in Xijing procrastinated a lot in sending people. After all, Wu Youyi not only asked them to send people, but also almost explicitly ordered them to donate goods to clear the suspicion.As for the Dou family, whom Wu Youyi used as a role model, they were almost secretly blamed to death.It can be seen that as long as it is related to goods, this guy's brain is still relatively easy to use.
While waiting for the people from various families to gather, Wu Youyi summoned the magistrates of the two counties in Xijing. Naturally, they were scolded, especially in Wannian County, where the incident happened. It was directly dragged out of court and beaten for punishment.
People from various families came one after another, and when they saw the magistrates who were beaten bloody, they couldn't help being frightened, and they sat silently after entering the hall.
Seeing that it was almost time for people to come, Wu Youyi brought up the old story again: "Last night there was a riot in the city, and the thieves took advantage of the Qujiang Yaxi to lay down in the city early to do chaos and harm. You are all famous sects on the surface, and you can enjoy the state's wealth with the clothes in Guanzhong. I also eat in the countryside, and I have the responsibility of spreading good education. The countryside hides traitors, and there is chaos in the village. If you think about it, can you not be ashamed? Although I am here as a pastor, I am only a sojourner on an official trip. Xijing has its own deep feelings. I don’t know how many people you are waiting for are trustworthy, but what can you say after checking the facts?”
While speaking, he turned his gaze to a member of the Dou clan present, naturally hoping that the other party would speak first to set an example.However, this member of the Dou clan had already been ridiculed all the way when he came, and now he knew that the crowd was simmering, so naturally he didn't dare to challenge the leader, but remained silent.
boom!
Seeing that everyone was silent, Wu Youyi's face suddenly sank, and he waved his hands on the table: "Since you have nothing to say, then I will do something. Immediately send people to search the whole city and track down the thieves. Without words or deeds to help things, there is nothing to investigate, and court privates are naturally included in the search!"
As soon as this remark came out, there was another uproar in the hall. Although they were prepared, they didn't expect Wu Youyi's attitude to be so vicious.
Sitting on the side seat, Li Tong just watched Wu Youyi die silently, he still underestimated the excitement of this miser when he saw his property being taken captive.At the same time, he also looked at the crowd with great interest. After all, they were all the Guanlong family who had made a lot of imperial achievements. Even if the ancestral tradition was gone, could they bear Wu Youyi's bullying like this?
Before he could change his mind, an old man stood up in the hall, looked at Wu Youyi and said in a condensed voice: "People outside the matter dare not comment. But if he realizes that if he is educated and arrested, he will rely on the sect on the surface. ?Although the old man is idle in the old court, but he has a deep family of sages, and his son He En stays with him, and the yellow ribbon follower, so he has to stay behind and say nothing about his mind! Ridiculous, sad! Nothing to say!"
After finishing speaking, the old man held his head up and walked out of the hall.
Li Tong knew this old man, his name was Li Dahui, the son of the Duke of Wei Li Jing.His father, Li Keshijue, was granted the title of Duke of Danyang County, and lived until the reign of Emperor Gaozong. He died at the age of more than 90 years old. Because he was content and able to keep his family, the family was not implicated, so the family business is still prosperous today, and there are many children in the family. Served in the North and South Yamen.
Hearing Li Dahui's stern retort and walking away, Wu Youyi was also taken aback for a moment, and after a while she was even more ashamed and annoyed Dasheng, shouting angrily: "Catch this old slave for me!"
As soon as this remark came out, Li Dahui turned his head back and sneered, and there were many people in the hall hurriedly stood up to persuade, some even stood directly beside Li Dahui, showing that they were both advancing and retreating.
Seeing this scene, Wu Youyi was startled for a moment. Although some soldiers rushed into the hall upon hearing the sound, but seeing the anger of the crowd, she was at a loss for a moment. After a moment of silence, she turned her gaze to the people who were sitting in the theater watching the theater. The young king, there was a slight pleading in his eyes, and he no longer had the determination and ferocity just now.
Li Tong has learned a lot about the sternness and softness of the Wu family sons. He said they were cowardly, but they were quite capable of causing trouble, and said they were vicious, but they often couldn't be consistent.
Strictly speaking, Duke Danyang's family does not belong to the first rank among the nobles of Guan Long. After all, they are not the direct descendants of Duke Wei Li Jing.But as soon as there was a surge of enthusiasm here, Wu Youyi didn't dare to act fiercely again. Since you can't mess with it, why are you bragging?
Li Tong is happy to see Wu Youyi and Guan Long's nobles completely turn against each other, of course, the heat is about the same.
But right now he still wants to maintain the image of Wu Youyi's close friend who can take care of the family's wealth. Seeing Wu Youyi looking over, he got up and said: "Fang Mu Xijing stays behind, and the people are like parents. Seeing people feel sad and distressed is inevitable. More recently, Qu Jiangji Opera is about wishing the Holy Emperor Chang'an. How can you not be anxious if traitors get in the way? Today, people from various families are gathered together to understand the whole story. Human beings have different natures, but wishing the holy birthday is a great gift for scholars and common people. I hope, I hope you can bear with each other, and the rest will be discussed and investigated after the event."
While speaking, he glanced at Wu Youyi again, not hiding his dissatisfaction, he had to express his emotions: Don't worry about the gains and losses of your three melons and two dates, I hope this matter can't be settled, everyone don't think about it Comfortable!
The shadow of a famous tree, just one Wu Youyi is not enough to deter the people of Xijing.But after hearing the young king's key points, all the people present were awe-inspiring.
"Last night's disturbance only involved one city and two squares, so it cannot be called a serious disaster. It is really hard to eradicate the poor and evil people, but it would be an exaggeration to spread this evil to all the families of the people in Xijing. This chaos is nothing more than scabies It is a disease of ringworm, but if it hinders the prosperity and wishes of great things, it will be a pain in the heart!"
After Li Tong finished speaking, he sat back in his seat.
The young king's words are still very effective, at least pointing out the current point.
Dou Xiaozhen, a member of the Dou Clan, also stood up, nodded and said: "What King Hedong said is true. There are thousands of families in Xijing, and it is inevitable that a few households hide traitors. However, the masses gather here to celebrate holy birthdays, which is also seen by everyone. Small things do great harm. , It is really unwise, if it prevents the people's opinion from reaching the heavens, then we will be guilty of great crimes!"
Wu Youyi's complexion fluctuated, but she was still unavoidably angry and unwilling. She pointed at Li Dahui and said angrily, "Since you know that your son enjoys the grace of the Yellow Ribbon Squadron, can you not be grateful and practice it? The purpose of calling you today is to stabilize the people's sentiments and make people feel better." Big things are going on, and if you make angry voices out of things, can you be worthy of the grace of your family? I think you are old and withdrawn, and you will not be held accountable for your disrespect. But how to continue to celebrate in the future, you need to brainstorm Proposal, quickly come up with a charter!"
The conflict finally came to a head, but they were all acting in mutual tolerance, and the harmony was no longer there.The next discussion is nothing more than each family relying on their reputation, stabilizing the public opinion in each scattered workshop, and donating silk and hemp to fill the official warehouse, and quickly settle this matter.
While everyone was discussing, Li Tongxiao left the hall and saw Xu Jian standing among a group of disgraced Wannian county magistrates, so he waved to him and signaled him to go to the side hall to chat.
"Although your majesty is clever, but working with the left behind this time, there is still some..."
Xu Jian did not sit down after entering the room, but spoke directly.
After Li Tong heard the words, he just sighed: "What can I do if I am under the influence of others? Although staying behind is in a variety of ways, there is still one thing to boast about, that is, loyalty and diligence. Xijing is angry and courageous, but the decision is still in Shendu I am at odds with the people of Xijing today, and I am worried that there will be no peace in the future. I am just an idler, and I dare not talk about everything lightly, but you Xijing officials, you may be in a difficult situation in the future Worrying."
After Xu Jian heard the words, he also nodded and sighed: "The people in Xijing are harmonious, and I dare not stay here any longer. The crowd is full of anger, and only by leaving quickly can we hope for peace. But whether people stay or not is not determined by the group's will." Decide!"
"Everything depends on human effort, always try."
Things have been paved to the present, and finally there must be a conclusion.The current situation is that His Majesty the Holy Emperor is good, so the masses wish longevity.The people are good, they can enthusiastically respond to Xingzhu, and express their opinions.
But Xijing is a mess right now, and there are thieves doing evil things in Luanfang. Who is the person who does the bad things?
If these alone are not enough to shake Wu Youyi's position in Xijing, then all the officials and officials of Guanlong will come forward to expose their evil, will Wu Zetian dare to keep Wu Youyi in Xijing?
Even if many opinions are ignored, can such a Xijing City sustain the military operation to recover the four towns of Anxi that will be carried out in the second half of the year?
If these are not enough for Wu Zetian to remove Wu Youyi's position in Xijing, then Li Tong will have to wonder if Wu Youyi is his grandmother's illegitimate child.
The next trend of the situation is the mutual harm between Wu Youyi and Guan Longxungui.
But at a higher level, Wu Zetian's wish for longevity remains unchanged. She still needs this matter to create a situation. As the initiator, Li Tong is naturally the best person to be in charge of this matter.
Now these personnel disputes in Xijing are not important anymore, Li Tong just waits for the order from Shendu, and then proceeds with the next series of plans.
Thinking of this, he looked back at the hall that was still arguing endlessly, if you dog bites dog, then I will pluck the dog hair.
Chapter 0275
Outside the Guangzheng Gate of the imperial city of Luoyang, the capital of the gods, soldiers gathered and servants washed the ground. Princess Taiping was driving through Xuanhui Gate, preparing to transfer to Xigecheng to enter the palace.
Seeing this scene, Princess Taiping couldn't help being a little curious. She stopped the car and asked people what happened. After a while, the doorman hurried back with a surprised look on her face.
When Princess Taiping heard this, she couldn't help taking a breath, and she was also shocked.
Although this Wang Qingzhi is not a prominent official, Princess Taiping has also heard of his name.
The man was a wealthy guest in Luoyang. Because of his broad personality, he joined Wei Wang Wu Chengsi's sect, and often planned for Wu Chengsi to seize the heir. Princess Taiping even met him several times at Wu's family banquet. It can be seen that King Wei appreciated and valued this man, but he didn't want to be beaten to death by Li Zhaode, Xia Guan's servant, in the street.
The servant also inquired about some other news, and went up to explain the reason in detail, but Princess Taiping was not thinking here, and she didn't hear it very clearly, she just waved her hand and ordered to continue to enter the palace.
Sitting in the car, Princess Taiping was also thinking about it.As for Li Zhaode, although she is well-known, she doesn't know much about him. She has only heard a few gossips saying that he is very popular and arrogant.But no matter what kind of temperament this person is, it is impossible to directly kill a vanguard who rushed to fight for the heir of the king of Wei in public without her mother Wu Zetian's signal behind her.
If it was normal, Princess Taiping would be secretly happy, thinking that her mother would still love her son more after all, and she would not want to pass on the imperial fortune to her nephew.But now, she naturally wouldn't look at the problem so superficially, the emperor's mind is different from ordinary people, how can the supreme position be so abused by others to spy on, not a son, let alone a nephew!
"This Saburo is really..."
After pondering for a long time, Princess Taiping suddenly sighed with emotion, but she didn't know how to evaluate it.
Since the Tianshou Revolution, the focus of Shiliu's attention is undoubtedly the dispute between Li and Wu for the heir.Even Princess Taiping, an outsider, can't help but feel melancholy and a little fascinated by the disputes that are constantly rolling in people's heads.
It wasn't until not long ago that she realized that her mother was still full of energy, and the issue of succession was completely out of her mind at the moment.But the young king who was far away in Xijing not only realized this early on, but also took real actions.
Comparing Li Zhaode's actions today, Princess Taiping felt even more emotional, there really is no simple person who can stand and dance in such a world.Compared with these scheming characters, she is still far behind.
Knowing that there were many events in the previous court, Princess Taiping did not go to visit her mother directly. After entering the palace, she went straight to the Hall of Hundred Million Years, where the Queen used to live recently.But after entering the palace, it was unexpectedly discovered that the queen did not discuss politics in the front court, but stayed in the hall of billions of years.
"Passing through the southern province, I occasionally saw miscellaneous things, and said that my mother should be in the front hall."
Introduced into the palace by the maid, Princess Taiping couldn't help but say.
Wu Zetian was wearing a colorful robe of Yanju, half-lying on the couch, with a few sticks in front of her, holding a scroll, with a relaxed expression, and smiled after hearing the words: "What do you do with so many officials in the Southern Province?" ?”
Princess Taiping also laughed when she heard the words, and asked Mrs. Zhang, the nurse, to offer her refined beauty pills and said: "The motherwort newly picked for the Dragon Boat Festival is prepared by myself. I have no long-term interests and wishes. My grandma has flourished for thousands of years."
Wu Zetian raised his hand to ask the palace servants to put away the pills and papers, and half sat up to chat with his daughter.
After chatting for a few words, Princess Taiping couldn't hold back after all, and said again: "What happened in the front court will inevitably disturb the public, so don't mother need to watch it personally or find someone to ask?"
When Wu Zetian heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, and after a while he sighed: "Although I am the leader of the people, I may not be able to be at ease. Sometimes, when people's affairs come, I have to avoid them."
After Princess Taiping heard the words, she realized that her mother might have hinted at this, and she was afraid that Li Zhaode would act so violently, so she said: "I heard people mention Li Shilang of Southern Province, and the commentators often say that he has a strong personality. arrogant."
"Employing people is like falling into things, using their goodness and ignoring their evil. Zhaode has the talent of a prime minister, but he doesn't have the demeanor of a prime minister, but compared with those people who are dizzy, it is rare. How many good people are there in this world? Can a good person make people only see their beauty and not feel their clumsiness?"
People always have the desire to talk, and Wu Zetian is no exception, but now that there are constant disputes in the court, the officials have their own arms, and she herself has few relatives, so there are very few people who can have intimate conversations.
As the relationship between mother and daughter has eased in recent years, she also likes to chat with this daughter more and more. It is not limited to furniture, and occasionally involves many foreign affairs.This daughter is not lacking in tact, and sometimes she is inspired by her responses.
"Is there really no such person? My mother has a big branch and a wide shade, so I ignored the tree!"
Princess Taiping replied with a smile.
Wu Zetian also laughed when he heard the words, but still shook his head slightly and said: "Although that kid is teasing, but he is unconventional and disrespectful, and he is praised too much, which makes people laugh."
Princess Taiping laughed again and said: "It is inevitable for idlers outside the gate to talk about right and wrong, but the sons and daughters in the court are sincere and self-confident, and they don't need praise from outsiders. As long as they can please their parents, it is a matter of It’s a pleasure to be content. I teach children that being able to recite a rhyme already makes them feel smart and happy, and they don’t have to compare their knowledge with those Confucian scholars who are obsessed with books.”
"It's reasonable to say that, not to mention those who are too old, the younger generations of the two capitals, there are very few who can match the King of Hedong."
Wu Zetian said with a smile, talking about this grandson, he has completely lost the indifference before, and there is even a hint of kindness in his expression: "I am a bit harsh in my evaluation of him. I always feel that it should be better. It is not enough to make fun of him." Forgetting the meaning, although doing things is not in the rules, but who can say that this kind of friendship is not true? With sincerity, even clumsy things can be praised, not to mention that they are done brilliantly."
"I'm really bored and annoying. Since I know that my mother loves this grandson very much, I don't need to talk about it. But I am also a mother, and my mother's words mean my children. Don't they have something to brag about?"
When Wu Zetian heard this, his smile became more relaxed: "Being close to Zhu Zhechi, even Youyi, a person who has been ignorant of spirituality for a long time, can be taught by the younger generation. You can make your children follow the scholar without hesitation. The urging, the future will not be bad."
She had her own reasons for joy. At first, she only thought that the young king was ruined by his words and deeds because of the situation, but she didn't want Xijing to tease him with such affection.
Although the news spread back to Shendu, there was no lack of criticism from the people in the court, saying that the young king was bewitching people, far-fetched, exaggerating with love and moon, and blaspheming Zhuangzheng.But just as Princess Taiping said, the sons and daughters in the court can just be cute and obedient, just to please their parents, why do they need any moral judgment?
Xijing teases Xing to celebrate the holy birthday, although the matter is simple, the meaning is long.One is to point out to people what Wu Zetian has in mind, the other is to let Wu Youyi be involved in the matter, and the third is to ease the criticism between the government and the opposition about the migration of Guanlong Shengmin to Heluo.
"At first, I was worried that this child would be too inattentive for a long time, but now it seems that I have worried too much."
Speaking of this, Wu Zetian suddenly said to the female officer waiting in the palace: "Princess Siyong is good at teaching her children, and she should be praised. Later, she will be banned and sent to Xijing. If the brides of the family have such respectful Xincai will make people feel more at ease!"
While speaking, she lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then continued: "Fang's family is also from the old gate of Chaoyuan, and the father and ancestor of Prince Yong's concubine should be loyal and diligent. It is a pity that there is no talent to treat each other in the court. Sending an imperial edict Fengge, search for the wild relics of the old clan, and use them according to your ability."
Rao is Princess Taiping, who knows that the King of Hedong is quite fond of the Queen recently, and she still can't help being a little surprised when she hears this.
Surprised, she also took advantage of the situation and said: "Auntie admires Jiasun so much, it seems that she is planning to get involved in the capital of God and let her get into trouble?"
"It's not in a hurry, let him stay in Xijing with a little more heart. He will handle the drama and entertainment from the beginning, and others will take over hastily. It's not beautiful to bother people."
Wu Zetian said with a smile, then recalled another thing: "Yes, the King of Hedong is not young, so he should consider marriage matters. But think about it carefully, the beautiful daughter of the He family is worthy of my scholar."
"The young king Zina Ruzi is a person from Jingzhao. I also saw that little lady in the city of Shendu earlier. Although she owes everyone her dignity, she is also beautiful and straightforward. She has no scheming. She just fell in love with the king."
Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Mother, can you hear the old story "A Journey to Luoyang Daughter"? It's just a drama about love."
"Is there such a thing? The child is talented and interesting, and the characters are even more unparalleled. It is not surprising that people are fascinated. After returning to Luo, I chose the right time to let that woman see. If she doesn't have any extraordinary beauty, she is not worthy of the emperor's grandson." !"
Speaking of this, Wu Zetian said again: "If you are talented and interesting, you must be romantic and affectionate. Even if you don't have blue eyes, some people will naturally be eager."
"Exactly. There are many wives from different families in the theatre. It is a daily question when the young king will return to the capital. It is really disgusting that the boy is so romantic and disturbs his relatives."
After Wu Zetian heard this, he laughed again: "There should be such a relationship between human beings. I am thirsty for talents, but there are beautiful grandchildren who make the ladies and gentlemen of Shendu propose marriage. If this is the case, you might as well show a few families and let them The sentiment of the people tends to be like this, and they are eager to match the young king."
Speaking of this, the Queen's face was a bit wicked and cheerful, and her mood was more relaxed. It had been many years since she had such fun of teasing people.
However, this fun did not last too long, suddenly a female official rushed to kowtow, and presented the Fengge Pavilion, Wu Zetian hurriedly glanced over, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he raised his head and said coldly: "Your Majesty, let's go to the West Pavilion. "
"Is there something urgent?"
After Princess Taiping saw this, she quickly got up and said.
Wu Zetian's face was no longer relaxed, and he slammed the book on the table: "Youyi is a fool, people can't worry!"
Chapter 0276
When the holy car arrived at the Xishang Pavilion, the female officer had already sorted out the relevant memorials, waiting for His Majesty the Holy Emperor to review.
"So many? Is it all about Yanxijing?"
When Wu Zetian entered the hall, he saw several large boxes and cages of memorials placed beside the royal case, and his expression became even more ugly.
Shangguan Wan'er held back her skirt and stood respectfully at the bottom. After hearing the words, she nodded and said, "It's all about the impeachment of King Jian'an. The ministers and supervisors of the foreign court are still accepting them one after another."
"Hmph, what kind of grievous crime has he really committed?"
Sitting on the imperial bed, Wu Zetian looked at the overcrowded boxes and cages, feeling a bit overwhelmed and feeling a little helpless.After pondering for a while, she was not in a hurry to flip through those memorials, but just looked at Shangguan Wan'er and said, "Since Wan'er has reviewed it, why don't you give me your opinion."
