Crown Tang emperor

To be honest, Li Tong was quite surprised by this. He added Yao Yuanchong's name just for a try. Now Yao Yuanchong is no longer on the bench, but the chance of Xia Guanlang, an important military officer in the southern province, who also holds a government post. No big deal, I didn't expect it to be approved.

There are obvious benefits of having a military official serving as a government official, that is, the cohesion of guarding forces such as marriage and body fighting.After all, there is such a relationship and way of military election for the military department, even if everyone has an idea, there is no need to ask for it.

After Li Tong was promoted to the prince, the scale of marriage affairs expanded several times. There were as many as 800 people. When they were kings, the total number of their three kings could already be said to be a small army.

Further down, there are Jiangnan scholars carefully selected by Prime Minister Yao Xuan.People from Jiangnan are handsome, not to mention anything else. Looking at it this way, there is still a big gap between handsome young men and the handsome acting king, but with such a group of subordinates going out to blow up the streets, the attention is absolutely high. , at least it looks much more pleasing to the eye than the wretched Wu family kings.

As for the old member Yan Yanfan, he was borrowed by Princess Taiping in the early years and arranged to help watch the scene at Youjinwuwei. After a few years, his official position has not changed, but he has been promoted to two ranks. Now he is called back to serve as the Dianjun .

However, the armed forces of the Prince's Mansion were quite an embarrassing existence. Although the military rank of the Marriage Mansion was not low, Yan Yanfan could only be in the lower seat among the new mansion assistants.

Li Tong chatted with everyone a few times, which was a preliminary acquaintance. What impressed him deeply was that most of these government officials who were born in the south of the Yangtze River had a background in examinations.Only Yao Fangpei, the son of Yao Xuan, was really involved in the matter. Even Lu Jingchu, the son of Lu Yuanfang, who was the son of a high-ranking official, was born in the imperial examination.

Li Tong is quite happy about this, at least he can guarantee that these talents have been tested and their standards are not low.Moreover, today's imperial examinations are not dominated by Confucianism, and it has a taste of a hundred flowers blooming.

For example, among the new assistants like Li Tong, two of them were born in Mingshu, one named Zu Yannian and the other named Yu Sheng. To be selected for Yao Zhen, they should all have extraordinary talents.Li Tong planned to have a detailed exchange with the two of them later to see if they could make some technological innovations.

When the officials came to the temple, it was not just to pay respects to the palace lord, the palace posts had a certain attribute of retainers, and they also had to fast and attend classes with them.Of course, because most of them are part-time jobs, they can only participate in evening classes. In the morning, they still have to go to court normally, but this can be regarded as a shared adversity.

However, before the evening class, another official envoy came to the temple to announce the edict, talking about Li Tong's housing problem, and bestowed Jishanfang Jiadi as the residence of the king.

Li Tong had been in the temple for more than half a month, and his thinking was inevitably a little slow. At first, he didn't care about it. He was about to step forward to receive the edict, when Wang Fangqing suddenly raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute, may I ask the envoy, what is the specific establishment of the gift?"

When the official envoy heard this, his expression was a little perplexed, and he faltered and said: "Yes, it is Jishanfang Xiqu, Gao's old career."

After Wang Fangqing heard the words, he stopped talking and turned to look at Li Tong.

After pondering for a while, Li Tong soon realized the mystery.The so-called Jishanfang Gao's old business is the old residence of Gao Shilian, which has been kept as an official property before, and part of it is used as the government office of Sifu Temple.

But not long ago, this house was used for other purposes, that is, to build a mansion for his fourth uncle's family, Li Dan, and several boys to live in the palace.When Li Tong passed by there some time ago, he was still nibbling on lemon peels, but he didn't expect that this house would become his own when he turned around?

"Please leave the official envoy temporarily, and let me and the government staff and staff accept the order or not."

Sensing that there was an intention to dig a hole, Li Tong was not polite to the official, waved his hand to drive him away, then turned to look at Wang Fangqing and asked, "Is there any discussion about Chang Shi?"

Wang Fangqing was also relieved to see that the young king was still vigilant despite his sudden appearance as an upstart. In the current situation, these assistants were of course worried that the young king would make mistakes under his complacency.Hearing Dai Wang's question, he got up from the table and said: "Ji Shan Fang Mansion first bestowed five kings, and now it's even easier for the king, the humble job feels that it is polite..."

After saying this, he began to quote scriptures to support his point of view, but most of those quotations were out of the ordinary, not only Li Tong was a little confused, but also the eyes of other officials present were a little straightened, but seeing Wang Fangqing talked eloquently, but somehow felt that what he said made sense.

"Evening class is coming soon, I don't have time to enter the speech, please write in the writing room, and record in detail what Chang Shi said as a dictionary."

Professional matters are naturally left to professional people. Li Tong pointed to Yao Yuanchong and ordered, and when the pen was delivered, Wang Fangqing repeated the preface again.Li Tong saw Ouyang Tong's beard smiling again, and praised: "Wang Shaojian is well versed in etiquette, he is a good assistant!"

Yao Yuanchong wrote like a fly, and after finishing the book, he raised his head and frowned and said, "A few days ago, Runzhou reported the case of demons and aliens. Jishanfang used to have a country against Qiu, and the old business lived next to each other. People's hearts are dangerous. How many ghosts and ghosts? The treacherous people used this to create a gap to frame the king..."

"This is not a salute!"

Before Yao Yuanchong finished speaking, Wang Fangqing interrupted with a wave of his hand, then looked at Li Tong and said, "But the king can send private messages."

"I see."

Li Tong nodded after hearing the words, and hurriedly entered the inner room to write, then went out to call the official in, handed over a dictionary and a private letter to the other party, and asked him to send them back with the imperial edict.

Although it was only the first day of working together, Li Tong was already very satisfied with this new team, unlike the old year where he had to wait to grow up.

Chapter 0366 The use of eagles and dogs, full stomach is lazy

At night, the two public and private memorials sent by the Temple of the Emperor Xiaojing were tossed and turned, and finally placed on Wu Zetian's desk.

"Wang Fangqing weaves his words meticulously, and his muscles and bones are hidden. He really deserves to be worthy of a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, and his family has profound knowledge."

Wu Zetian read the glossary carefully first, with a look of admiration on his face, then picked up Li Tong's pen to read, and said with a smile: "This kid is not arrogant, but also knows how to respect the world , is also good."

"Oh, it's just to choose a house for the acting king. Those ministers are talking about it endlessly, and they are so tired that His Majesty can't go to bed for a long time. I really don't know what it means!"

In the side seats of the hall, Xue Huaiyi half-length lay on the table, yawned and complained: "Your Majesty, the Lord of the world, rewarded blood relatives with a garden house. Who should I explain to? Jishanfang failed, and I returned it to Shangshanfang." There is a garden, and I don’t live in it on a daily basis, so I simply donated it to the Dai Wang An’s family. Why should your majesty never forget such a trivial matter!"

After Wu Zetian heard the words, he said with a smile: "If everyone in the world is as contented as Master and not greedy, then I, the master of the world, will be much more at ease. Keep your house and business for yourself, and be cautious and have your own place to live."

Speaking of this, she also said: "Recently, my master chose to be free, and visited Master Gaode, a famous temple in Jinai. He ordered the Southern Province Chunguan to set up a sutra field in Jishanfang on behalf of the king's residence, and held an open meeting for a few days. You and Shen Zhiliang Friendship is inherent, and the ritual arrangement shelters him in his daily life with peace of mind."

Xue Huaiyi was originally sleepy, but after hearing this, he couldn't help sitting up straight, and said with a dry smile: "I didn't mean to shirk, but there are many government affairs and temple affairs, so I may not have time to take it easy... Sigh, why bother, and According to the minister's words, I will donate the idle business to the acting king, and I will not be indebted to him!"

Hearing this, Wu Zetian frowned slightly, and after a few breaths of silence, he said again: "Dai Wang is not vulgar now, and everything is not capricious. There is no need for idlers to discuss matters that Fu Gong is discussing. Master Since you know that the case has accumulated, don't bother the King of Wei anymore, he is not strong enough, so he needs to be quiet and restful."

Xue Huaiyi hurriedly lowered his head when he heard the words, but he still couldn't help muttering: "It's not the minister who wants to disturb the King of Wei, it's the King of Wei... Alas, in short, the minister is wrong, I shouldn't get close to the world without His Majesty's permission! I know I made a mistake, and I will never do it again in the future, no matter how earnestly the king of Wei invites you, I will never meet you at the mansion!"

boom!

Wu Zetian threw the roll of paper in his hand on the case, and without saying a word, just looked at Xue Huaiyi like this.

Xue Huaiyi also realized that the atmosphere was not good, turned over and left the table in a hurry, and knelt down on the ground: "Xiao Bao knew his mistake, he really knew his mistake! The king of Wei has met several times, saying that I am choosing a marriage match for the acting king. When I was..."

"Wei Wang's love and family members, this intention is not bad, can't prevent people from speculating. You have been close to him at this time, how can you not attract attention? He is a family member, you are a close official, and the constitution is full of rumors , you two are the only ones who are not aware of their mistakes!"

Xue Huaiyi also panicked when he heard the Holy Emperor's anger, blinking his eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Xiaobao is just a vulgar and vulgar person, His Majesty favored me, gave me a guard, and used me to patrol the border. I have lost my sense of being a human being... It makes me more happy to be invited by such a dignitary as the king of Wei. I dare not refuse to teach at a banquet..."

When Wu Zetian heard this, his stern face relaxed slightly, and his tone became softer: "If you can realize this, you have not made deep mistakes. There are still many cases, so you go."

After Xue Huaiyi heard the words, he didn't dare to speak again, he kowtowed twice, and then carefully exited the hall.

After the palace official led Xue Huaiyi away and sent him back to the palace, Wu Zetian had already retreated into the inner palace, lying on the couch with half-closed eyes, and asked slowly, "What did he say about his travels?"

The palace official shook his head and said no, but he didn't hide Xue Huaiyi's unexpected anger after leaving the palace.

"This insane monk is a headache."

Wu Zetian sighed and then said: "Let the guard of the left prison tell him that he will be given a long-term talisman, and he will be granted once a month."

The palace official took the order to leave, at this time Wei Tuan'er entered from the side hall, walked into the inner hall and whispered: "His Royal Highness is here to watch today, stay in the Xianju courtyard, do you want to introduce me?"

After a while, a slightly tired voice sounded from the tent in the couch: "No need."

Although Wei Tuan'er had a hint of disappointment on his face after hearing the words, he didn't dare to say anything more, and just retreated into the side of the hall and lit a soothing incense.

Although Shi Wang Fangqing, the head of the acting prince's mansion, made a well-founded statement, and the camp supervisor also proposed several alternatives, but either the location was too far away, or the regulations did not match, and finally the acting prince's mansion was chosen at the initial choice.

In addition to bestowing the title, the imperial court ordered the eminent monk Faming of the Weiguo Temple to enter the new residence of the king of the dynasty to accumulate meritorious service, and together with the fasting people in the filial emperor's temple, they prayed for the filial emperor's long life.

Li Tong couldn't help sighing when he learned of this result in the Temple of Filial Piety to the Emperor. In this way, it was inevitable that he and his fourth uncle would become more hostile.To lose popularity, but also to seize people's mansions.

But if you look at it in detail, his fourth uncle is not completely a victim. The original five kings' residence has become the acting king's residence, and the date for the five kings to leave the cabinet can only be postponed.If his fourth uncle's group of veterans of the Tang family were strong enough, they could have dragged this matter on forever, and finally let it go.

When the five little guys were still in the prison, they were already being targeted by the Wu family. If they were to be released, it would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. One mistake would cause more people to fill this hole.

As for the problem that Yao Yuanchong was worried about, after the practice of the monks of Weiguo Temple, it should be avoided to a large extent.

To be honest, even Li Tong himself felt hairy when he learned that he was going to live in Jishanfang. Last year, his elder brother Li Guangshun almost killed Qiu Shenji's family in the workshop.

The ghosts and ghosts are strange, and they respond with the power of gods and Buddhas. The monks of Weiguo Temple are the mothers who serve his grandmother Wu Zetian.

If someone really wants to make a fuss about this matter, don't care who did it, the pot of shit will be put on the heads of the Wu family, let his grandma see her mothers, her mother is not filial when she is alive, and she will mess around when she is dead .Under the new hatred and old hatred, maybe Li Tong can be directly named the emperor's grandson, so as to get rid of those evil members of the Wu family.

At the same time, after hearing the news, Wu Chengsi in Wei Wang's mansion was also furious for a while.

He is not in charge of political affairs now, so it is not easy to handle this matter, and he has even made follow-up plans. He only waits for the king to move in, and then people will spread rumors, play tricks, and make some gossip about the ghosts of the Qiu family demanding their lives for revenge. , and then check the Wu Zhu Yansheng in the king's mansion.But when the monk of Weiguo Temple went to chant scriptures, he really didn't dare to make any fuss.

Although doing so can be considered to provoke the relationship between the emperor's heir and the Dai Wang, but the emperor's heir line has already been beaten and retreated steadily, but the Dai Wang can sit in the mansion happily, and the momentum is even worse.

Thinking about it carefully, what I did was really cheap. I wasted my time, and I was just in a hurry to give Dai Wang a mansion.If Lai Junchen hadn't been released from the mansion, went to Guandefang to make an unannounced visit and arranged to frame the emperor's heir, Wu Chengsi really wanted to bring back Lai Junchen, who came up with bad ideas, and beat him half to death.

"Come to a certain market place, and you are mean and despicable. You can use treachery to make a fool of yourself. It's not enough to plan big things."

Sitting in the hall was Zhang Jiafu, a member of the Fengge family, seeing Wu Chengsi's distraught look, he said: "What your highness is plotting is the foundation of the country, how could such a petty trickster be able to do it?" Staff!"

"Then what's your plan? I can't bear to see this kid running rampant!"

Wu Chengsi said angrily again, this Zhang Jiafu is also an old subordinate he brought out from his tenure as Chunguan Shangshu, and now there are few people in his confidantes who are still in office, and the others have long been cleaned up by Li Zhaode and others .

After Zhang Jiafu heard the words, he smiled slightly: "The Dai Wang is now in the public eye, and it is no longer a mere private matter. The crime of nothingness only harms the poor. This is a lowly job, so I look down on the handsome..."

"Straightforward strategy!"

Wu Chengsi didn't want to bring up the old things at first, but when he heard Zhang Jiafu endlessly belittling others and praising himself, he couldn't help becoming even more impatient, and berated him in a low voice.

"Yes Yes!"

Zhang Jiafu didn't dare to talk nonsense after hearing the words, and quickly said his strategy: "Bingzhou, Guochao's ancestral court, and the tombs of the former kings are located. Although the current king is in charge of the matter, it should be based on emotion and reason. Elder Zhi is close to the matter, and also guards the tomb!"

"Speak clearly!"

Wu Chengsi seemed to have realized something, and after thinking about it, he said in a muffled voice.

"All the governor's houses are false leaders, but Shang Zuodai's administrative decree. The king's leadership is false, and those who are truthful should come from the king's gate!"

Hearing what Zhang Jiafu said, Wu Chengsi immediately clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Miao, Miao! Shuzi is in vain to accept the high position, I will take power in my own hands, reward me if I have merit, and pursue him if I am guilty!"

Speaking of this, Wu Chengsi pointed to Zhang Jiafu and said, "You should arrange this matter quickly!"

After Zhang Jiafu heard the words, he looked embarrassed. A position like the governor of Bingzhou Metropolitan Government needs to be pushed by the court and discussed by the political affairs hall. nothing.

"The lowly position does not have the right to discuss proposals, and now that the political affairs hall is rampant, the correct policy may not be accepted. Taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, the decision must be made quickly. From the humble position's point of view, it is best for His Highness to contact the King of Liang and others to enter the palace and ask for it directly. His Majesty's consent must be obtained first, and then we will discuss it!"

While Zhang Jiafu was talking, he sighed and complained: "It's a pity that the lowly position is too weak to take up the high position. Although he has the desire to donate, he doesn't have the authority to make decisions. Otherwise, if this matter is going to happen, why bother His Highness to come forward in person."

However, Wu Chengsi didn't hear what he said, he just frowned and thought: "Which one should I choose to take charge of Bingzhou? Yizong was wronged before, this time I can make up for him..."

While speaking, he stood up from the table, looked at Zhang Jiafu and said solemnly: "Before this matter is completed, don't let it out, you go back to Fengge, and keep an eye on Li Zhaode's every move!"

Zhang Jiafu opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Wu Chengsi had already waved his hands to urge him, so he could only withdraw angrily.

After the person withdrew, Wu Chengsi sneered: "Keep away eagles and chase dogs, and be lazy when you are full. With a few words, how dare you hope for the position of prime minister?"

Chapter 0367 Acting on behalf of the king to be filial, touching the world

At the end of January, the month of Lent finally came to an end.

After finishing the morning class in the early morning, all the members of the Daiwangfu's relatives and relatives had already gathered in front of the temple.

"Please, Your Majesty, get rid of the new clothes."

The officials of Sili Temple entered the hall with Li Tong's original crown and badge robes. Seeing the vivid lines and brightly colored robe fabrics, Li Tong couldn't help but feel a sore nose. What he saw for a month was gray and plain. I almost suspect that I am afraid that I will become color blind.

When he retreated into the inner Buddhist hall and put on the robe again, Li Tong couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw that the belt was shortened by several inches. Regret, that's what it means to make people haggard for your father.

When Li Tong was dressed properly and walked out of the Buddhist hall, Wang Fangqing, the acting king Changshi, entered the front and said: "The lowly ranks respectfully send the king back to his residence!"

Today, all officials from various government departments are present, hundreds of people, and there are also advocating ceremonies. It seems that the ostentation is so great that even such a large temple seems cramped.Seeing this scene, Li Tong truly felt that this month's suffering was not in vain, and he was a big step closer to attacking Xuanwumen!

He also summoned the monk officials and monks stationed in the temple in front of the Buddhist hall, and gave gifts to each according to a certain level.Although I am extremely unhappy in my heart, I have been detained here for more than a month with little soup and water, and I have to reward you in the end, where can I justify it?But according to the rules of etiquette, what if these people withhold his father's incense if they don't give it?

After the gift was over, Yan Yanfan, the Dianjun of the Marriage Office, personally pulled Li Tong's car, Li Hualuo, into the front, and thoughtfully helped the king onto the horse.

After walking out of the temple gate, Li Tong took a few deep breaths. Seeing the people on Fang Street avoiding their walks one after another, he felt like seeing the sun again.After walking not far, a smell of freshly baked Hubing wafted from the restaurants in the streets and alleys, which made Li Tong dizzy for a while, and almost fell off his horse, thanks to his relatives who were next to him to help him in time.

In fact, Yijia has its own car, but it only travels around surrounded by relatives.Right now, Li Tong doesn't want to blow up the street to show off at all, but the reason for such an arrangement is the strong advice of Changshi Wang Fangqing.

Because the majesty's emaciated and haggard appearance is so perfect at the moment, it's almost meaningless not to let the people of Shendu take a look.Acting filial piety and righteousness is already rare, not to mention seeing beautiful people being destroyed, which can arouse people's compassion. It would be a pity if it is just self-admiration.

Li Tong didn't expect that Wang Fangqing, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be quite playful, but he was relieved when he was born in the Langya Wang family. When it comes to public image management, these Jiangnan families also have family backgrounds, not inferior to them Li Tang The obsession of the royal family to make trouble at Xuanwu Gate.

But Li Tong still overestimated his physical strength. When the Yijia team reached the vicinity of Nanshi, the road became uneven, and finally couldn't help the bumps, and fell to the side when it was dark.

"Early, early!"

Wang Fangqing muttered in a low voice, but he was still in a hurry to get the carriage forward and let the king be carried into the carriage.There was a palace maid standing by in the car, and seeing the king being sent in, she hurriedly pulled out the meat soup from the food box that was continuously heated by a small charcoal stove, and fed it into the king's mouth little by little with a reed tube.

With a wave of Wang Fangqing's hand, all the government officials knelt down beside the car, and he even tore off his turban, held the shaft of the car, and said mournfully to the car: "Your Majesty has fulfilled his filial piety, and his body and spirit are injured. Concentrate on doing, but ignore the expectations of strangers! Honoring the emperor is the only heir's blood, and those who are inferior are not capable of being good assistants, capital punishment, capital punishment!"

Although the street here is not the south of Tianjin Bridge that Wang Fangqing expected, but it is also close to the bustling place of Nanshi City. Such a large guard of honor is enough to attract attention. If such a change occurs again, the number of onlookers will increase sharply. times.

"Honoring the emperor to have such a pure and filial heir, it can be said to be worthy!"

Some people in the crowd continued to make comments, and the more emotional ones couldn't help but raise their hands to wipe their tears. It turns out that as long as the love is deeply hurt, it is inevitable to be heartbroken!

Wang Fangqing beat his chest and stamped his feet outside, and Li Tong was also woken up.He was fine at first, he lived quietly in the monastery for a long time, but after entering the monastery, there was a lot of noise and bumps, and he was a little dizzy for a while.

At this moment, his mind was not clear enough, and he was about to sit up and look out, while Wang Fangqing was in a hurry to have the curtains of the car lowered, and he just finished drinking the broth, which really spoiled the atmosphere.

So Li Tong lay down in the car with peace of mind, drank two bowls of meat soup, felt warm in his stomach, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

"My lord! What's wrong with your lord..."

When he woke up again, Li Tong heard a commotion outside the carriage, opened his eyes and saw his wife poking in, her pretty face was covered with tears, and then she jumped into the carriage directly: "They said, Your Majesty, I'm so worried, but I'm not allowed to go out to meet you..."

Li Tong hadn't comforted his wife yet, when he heard his wife Fang's voice again, he probed over and saw Wang Fangqing lowering his head with shameful brows, while Fang's face was pointing at him with a livid face. Constantly reprimanded, it turned out that after falling asleep, he had already returned to the king's mansion.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, San Lang is fine, San Lang is fine! He is hugging Tang Ruren very hard!"

Suddenly, Li Shouli's loud voice sounded from the side, and Li Tong hurriedly turned his head to look, only to find that the side curtain had been lifted, and Li Shouli was staring into it.

Tang Lingshu was also startled at this moment, only to realize that he was throwing himself in the arms of the king lying on the carriage, curled up in a corner.

"Third brother, third brother, I want to see third brother!"
