Crown Tang emperor

The front of the Political Affairs Hall has been cleaned up, the blood spattered by the fighting has been washed away, and the traces of swords and swords on the railings have not been repaired in time, but they are all covered up by the erected silk curtains.

The officials followed the emperor's heir to the main hall of the Political Affairs Hall, and saw that Princess Taiping was always with her, and many courtiers frowned secretly, but when they thought that Princess Taiping had led the crowd into the Political Affairs Hall and ordered Doulu Qinwang and others to be shot. Seeing the emperor's heir's dependence on Princess Taiping during his actions, he still wisely did not speak up to prevent the princess from going to court.

When the emperor's heir and Princess Taiping took their seats, all the officials were also seated, and then Li Zhaode stood up and told the story of the night that just passed.

In fact, according to the identities of the people present in the hall, Li Zhaode should not have come forward to report.At this time, there were 30 officials in the hall, including Prime Minister Yang Zaisi and Du Jingjian, as well as the six ministries of the Southern Province and the supervisors of various temples, including the general of Nanya.As for Li Zhaode, until now, he is still an embarrassing exile.

However, after the emperor's heir took his seat, he subconsciously looked at Li Zhaode, and Li Zhaode also took the initiative to stand up and report.Even if everyone in the hall complained, there was no reason to stop and scramble at this moment.

Moreover, what Li Zhaode has done in the past also deserves this treatment.Not to mention that he returned to the capital alone, and was the mastermind of this incident together with Dai Wang and others.Li Zhaode was also the absolute main force supporting the emperor's heir in Li Wu's struggle to seize the heir since the reign of Tianshou.

Without Li Zhaode's strong support, under the fierce attack of King Wei and others, the situation of the emperor's heir and the veterans of the Tang family would have been even more difficult.Among other things, all the courtiers present, including Di Renjie, may not be very familiar with the emperor's heir.Therefore, there is really no qualification to compete with Li Zhaode.

The emperor's heir just listened carefully to Li Zhaode's narration. From the beginning of Li Zhaode's conspiracy, when he heard that Di Renjie took the initiative to contact the acting king, he turned to Di Renjie and nodded heavily to him.For these courtiers in front of him, he really only heard their names and knew a little bit about them, but he didn't have a deep understanding.

Then when he heard that Dai Wang raised his voice in Princess Taiping's mansion and killed King Wei soon after leaving the workshop, Li Dan couldn't help clapping his hands and admiring, and said loudly: "Dai Wang is sincerely my family." Zhuanger, you have made great achievements!"

Not only Li Dan, but almost all the courtiers present knew the whole process of this incident through Li Zhaode's mouth, and their reactions inevitably varied.

The prime ministers Yang Zaisi and Du Jingjian, who were seated in front of the table, each had a somewhat unnatural expression after learning of the important role of the acting king in this incident, especially Yang Zaisi, who frequently raised his hands to wipe his sweat.

Although Li Zhaode didn't elaborate on the deeper reasons, everyone knew that Dai Wang's choice to start an incident at this moment was directly related to Liang Wang Wu Sansi and other prime ministers uniting to boycott Dai Wang.

Although Yang Zaisi and others did not end up miserable like Dou Lu Qinwang, it is conceivable that the future is quite bleak.Not to mention the awkwardness of the two prime ministers, the other ministers in the hall, such as Cui Xuanwei and others, looked at them rather unkindly, full of schadenfreude.

As for Wenchang Zuocheng Wang Fangqing, who was supposed to belong to the Daiwang side, he actually looked a bit embarrassed at the moment, and just hung his head in silence.

He was one of the first batch of ministers who approached the Dai Wang in the current situation, but in Li Zhaode's narration, it clearly showed that the Dai Wang had never discussed with him at all when planning affairs.

Therefore, at this moment, there are many courtiers looking at Wang Fangqing curiously, and Wang Fangqing's eyes are even more ashamed.

Although up to now, he still feels that it is safe to advise the Dai Wang before, but in fact the Dai Wang did not follow his advice, but chose a more radical method, and the situation achieved so far has exceeded As expected.

So at this moment, Wang Fangqing is not lacking in remorse, and he can't help thinking that if he had been more determined and determined to follow the decision of the acting king, instead of being smart enough to point out a way away from the center for the acting king, what would the current situation be like?

Although the current direction of the big court situation is still to be discussed, for Dai Wang, it is tantamount to breaking through a layer of restrictions that shrouded him through this incident, and has the influence that can truly influence the current situation.This should have been an excellent opportunity for them to replace the king's family, but now there is something unexpected.

The only thing that can be comforted at the moment is that the courtiers may have already guessed about this, but they still cannot know the details of the inner person Qu Yin.Wang Fangqing just hoped that the Dai Wang would ignore the previous suspicions and re-accept them Jiangnan scholars.

Otherwise, seeing that the emperor's heir is only leaving the palace right now, these veterans of the Tang family would already be so excited.If there is no Dai Wang as the backing, the order in the future will be restored, and there will be no place for them from the south of the Yangtze River.

If it was said that they and Dai Wang had achieved mutual success before, then now, Dai Wang has become the backing that they Jiangnan people cannot give up.The fact that the emperor's heir leaves the palace does not mean peace in the world, and the tragic death of Dou Lu Qinwang is the best proof.

Although Li Zhaode's narration is detailed and specific, it is not procrastinated. It soon talked about Doulu Qinwang's control of the Zhengshitang, not allowing the officials to enter Zetianmen, and being shot and killed by Princess Taiping when Yu Guangzheng was absconding with Wu Sansi inside the door.

When Li Dan heard this, his eyes changed obviously. He was listening to Li Zhaode's narration, but in order to hear Li Zhaode's narration more clearly, his body subconsciously leaned forward to support the case, but at this moment, his head was suddenly tilted back slightly, and his eyesight became more serious. It is to move quickly on everyone, including Princess Taiping, for a week.

Although I quickly tried my best to control my emotions and return to normal.But Princess Taiping, who was closest to him, keenly noticed that the elder brother's fist on his knee had been slightly clenched and trembling slightly.

Of course, Princess Taiping can understand why the emperor's heir would have such a reaction. He has been in the deep palace for a long time, and he has just entered the world. The people and situations in front of him are so strange to him. people.For example, he made no secret of his respect for Li Zhaode, and even dragged her younger sister out and in together, all to appease the uneasiness in his heart.

Doulu Qinwang, as the uncle of the emperor's concubine Doulu, certainly has a similar status in Li Dan's mind. It is a channel and an important help for Li Dan to quickly integrate into the current situation and control the situation.

But now, Doulu Qinwang is executed for covering up Wu Sansi, which is tantamount to a betrayal of the emperor's heir.This will make Li Dan directly doubt and even panic about the interpersonal relationship that he has no lack of trust and dependence on, and it will be even more unclear whether the crowd in the hall is a human or a ghost!

At the end of the speech, Li Zhaode said passionately: "Heaven's favor, the previous emperor took care of him. Now His Royal Highness has finally left the deep palace and sat down to meet the officials in the south. After a short break in the political affairs hall, you can go to the court hall outside the imperial city. Receive the ministers to pay homage to comfort the world's sickness and fear."

"Li Xianggong's argument is inappropriate!"

As soon as Li Zhaode's words fell, Cui Xuanwei, a member of Fengge House who was present at the meeting, said: "This action was originally a feat of punishing the country's traitors and welcoming the emperor's heir back to the court, but because of Dou Luqinwang's rebellion, the Southern Province Greatly disturbed! Now the safety of the emperor's heir is the most important thing, as for calming down the personal feelings of the court officials in the southern province, it is the duty of the princes in the court, how can His Highness the emperor's heir be allowed to take risks lightly!"

As soon as Cui Xuanwei's words fell, all the courtiers in the hall also spoke one after another, mostly denying Li Zhaode's proposal, thinking that it is not suitable for the emperor's heir to go to the outer court hall to meet the officials publicly at the moment, or stay in the political affairs hall for the time being, and it is up to the people present Conveying messages internally and externally is the best strategy.

They were willing to let Li Zhaode take a step before, which was already a way of saving face.But now Li Zhaode actually intends to let the emperor's heir directly face the people of the foreign court, which is a bit too much.The emperor's heir thinks highly of you, and everyone sees it, but today's actions are definitely not the work of you alone, and you must always consider everyone's feelings.

Faced with opposition from the crowd, Li Zhaode was not impatient. He first looked at the emperor's heir, who remained silent when he saw the emperor's heir, and then looked at Di Renjie.

But at this moment, Li Zhaode was not the only one watching Di Renjie, Cui Xuanwei and others, especially those selected by Fengge to negotiate with Dou Luqinwang, looked at Di Renjie with serious eyes.

"What Li Xianggong said is indeed a little worrying. Now that the emperor's heir is in the political affairs hall, it is safer to wait for the situation in the southern province to calm down a little before going out to meet the officials."

Di Renjie lowered his head to avoid Li Zhaode's gaze, and spoke.

Of course he understood the reason why Li Zhaode wanted to do this. He is still an embarrassing exile, not even qualified to walk in the forbidden palace. Of course, he needs to urgently show the results of this night's work to the courtiers as a whole, so that Only in this way can we try our best to avoid the hidden danger of his people absconding and returning to the capital.

If it had been before, Di Renjie would naturally go along with Li Zhaode's suggestion, after all, it would be good for their masterminds, including the re-establishment of the authority of the emperor's heir.

However, he has already reached a preliminary consensus with the courtiers of the Southern Province, and he is not impatient about it now, especially after seeing that the people in the Southern Province are still scattered, he thinks it is better not to introduce too much public opinion from the courtiers into it, and focus on it first. At present, it is good to reach a certain consensus in this small circle.

Hearing what Di Renjie said, Li Zhaode was even more annoyed, and said with a stampede, "Now half of the Nanya elites are gathered, may I ask you, if there are any remaining thieves outside the Tianmen Gate, I will personally kill them with my armor on!"

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't avoid responding to Li Zhaode's angry words.

At this moment, a middle official hurriedly entered the hall, and quickly felt the solemn atmosphere in the hall, but he still bit the bullet and stepped forward, raising both hands to write a book and said: "His Majesty the Holy Emperor made the acting king the right habayashi General, please ask your minister to issue a correction."

As soon as this remark came out, the voices of the whole room were silent, and a needle could be heard.After a while, Yang Zaisi stood up hesitantly, looked at the crowd, and at the emperor's heir, and asked tentatively: "May I ask His Highness the emperor's heir and all the lords, can the lowly position be temporarily dismissed?"

Hearing this question, Li Dan was also very embarrassed, and raised his hand and said: "I am alone in the wrong place, Mr. Yang, please do what you want."

Just when Yang Zaisi re-entered the seat and issued the order, Ouyang Tong stood up, cupped his hands and said: "I think that His Royal Highness should visit His Majesty first, and then discuss the funeral."

After hearing the words, Wang Fangqing and Lu Yuanfang, who is also a member of Fengge House, got up quickly, and clapped their hands together, saying: "If you do big things, you must rectify your name, and I will second you to Mr. Ou!"

Chapter 0472 His Royal Highness refers to striding forward

After dawn broke in the east, Li Tong stood on the tower of Xuanwu Gate, looking eastward at the rising sun. It was only at this moment that he felt obvious fatigue.

General Qu Chongyu of Zuo Yulin boarded the tower from the other side, crossed his hands to salute from a distance, quickly explained the situation of the Beiya camps, and glanced at the leaders of several generals hanging on the crossbar in front of the city gate , couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Your Highness plans before moving, and the thunder will set the momentum, and within a moment, it will shock the army and kill the evil. It is really a blessing for the family and a blessing for the community!"

"The king of Jiaohe is serious. If it weren't for Wang and other loyal and courageous officers and soldiers who have volunteered to work together, it would be difficult for Xiao Wang to quickly calm down the situation in Beiya."

Li Tong clasped his fists at Qu Chongyu after hearing the words, and Qu Chongyu bowed slightly in response.

Li Tong knew that Qu Chongyu was seriously ill, and at this moment Qu Chongyu did not hide it anymore. He had already removed his heavy armor and was only wearing a thick round-neck robe, without the thick and pungent incense on his body. , the taste of the medicinal soup is highlighted.

Therefore, he did not let Qu Chongyu stand in front of the city tower for a long time. He personally helped Qu Chongyu down the Xuanwu Gate and turned into Neizhi Hall. The final plan still needs a long discussion. The King of Jiaohe is the pillar minister of the country who can be in the middle, so he must take good care of it and cherish his life for the country."

"Short life is decided by God. I am entangled in serious diseases, and I dare not repay the long-term dream. But His Highness has paid, and it can be maintained for a short period of time in the future."

Qu Chongyu sighed after hearing the words, he was no longer optimistic about his own safety, but there was not much sadness in his tone.

The two looked at each other, and each saw some reassuring deep meaning in each other's eyes.The reason why Li Tong felt relieved was that Qu Chongyu expressed his willingness to continue to stand by his side in the future, which would undoubtedly be beneficial for him to intervene in the affairs of the Southern Province through the Bei Ya.

The reason why Qu Chongyu was at ease was because Dai Wang did not reveal his intention to abandon him immediately after the matter was completed, so as to achieve a more secure control of the Beiya through his cronies.

Therefore, Qu Chongyu couldn't help saying with emotion: "The general will serve as the guardian. Although he has a heart of sincerity, he is not worthy of the name of loyalty. Only under the shadow of His Royal Highness, at the end of this life, he can still donate his strength to serve the people. So far, it can be said that it is not in vain.”

"Why should the King of Jiaohe be so self-deprecating? Before now, there was a strong atmosphere of monsters in Jin, and no one was awe-inspiring, lest he would get into trouble. What's more, the famous Gaochang clan is the remnant of the Han family. Since Zhenguan, they have accumulated meritorious deeds. boast."

Qu Chongyu was born in the royal family of Gaochang. Although he was already obviously abusive, if he went back further, Gaochang Kingdom actually had a lot of connection with the Qianliang regime founded by the Zhang family of Liangzhou during the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms.The Zhang family of Qu's in-laws was born in a large Han family in Liangzhou.

It is precisely because of this that Gaochang Kingdom can be regarded as a royal family that integrated into the Tang Dynasty relatively smoothly after the destruction of several countries in the Western Regions.Qu Chongyu and his son served as guards for two generations, and his father, Qu Zhizhan, was even repatriated to Xizhou, which was established in his home country, to serve as the governor of Xizhou, which played a very active role in the management of the Western Regions by the Tang Dynasty.

In the period of Wu Zetian, Qu Chongyu became a symbolic figure of the alienation, not only in charge of the power of the imperial army, but also the title of Jiaohe County King after the suppression of Li Tang's clan's rebellion.

Of course, Wu Zetian also used this to ridicule those Li and Tang clans who made troubles only for the disaster of the country, and they were not even comparable to these generals who had subjugated the country.It is precisely because of this prominent position that Qu Chongyu also had to give priority to the future of his family business, at least he did not dare to change sides abruptly and seek refuge with the heir of the emperor.

In Li Tong's eyes, Qu Chongyu's role was not limited to the current Xuanwumen Incident.Aside from Qu Chongyu's current status, the Qu clan of the Gaochang royal family still has considerable influence in the Western Regions. Except for the branch that entered the Tang Dynasty, there are still many clansmen living in the hometown of Xizhou, and they are closely related to the local clans. The surname is also more related.

For example, Qu Chongyu's wife, the Murong family, was from the Tuyuhun royal family.Like Tuyuhun Murongkang, who was sent by Li Tong from Xijing to Longshang earlier, he is considered to be of the same family as Qu Chongyu's wife.

When Li Tong talked about this section, Qu Chongyu was immediately surprised, and said with sincere emotion: "No wonder His Highness can decide big things, the world is obsessed with the present, but His Highness can not be fascinated by short-term achievements, and calm chaos." Yu Jinei has already devoted his heart to the far frontier, with a broad mind and a strong will!"

After Li Tong heard the words, he just smiled and acquiesced to Qu Chongyu's compliment, thinking that he also deserved the compliment.Right now, although he is concentrating on planning in the capital, he has not completely ignored the frontier affairs.

He vaguely remembered that shortly after the recovery of the four Anxi towns in the original history, that is, next year, another battle broke out between the Anxi army and Tubo, and the Anxi army led by Wang Xiaojie won the battle.

But right now, with such turmoil breaking out in Shendu City, and there will definitely be a period of chaos in the future, the imperial court may not be able to provide timely and effective support to Anxi Army.

As for the internal affairs of Tubo, the conflict between the power minister Gar family and the grown-up Zanpu Chidu Songtsan is becoming more and more acute, and there is an urgent need for external meritorious service in order to continue to hold power. The coup d'état may involve a larger force in order to retake the four towns.

Therefore, Li Tong rushed to Xijing after the previously planned incident, not only to get out of the quagmire of Shendu, but also to integrate the power he currently possesses to give the Anxi Army the support they need, so as to ensure that they will not be killed because of the turmoil in Shendu. affect border defense.

Before making up his mind to make an incident, the factor of border defense was also an important factor that Li Tong considered.

He is not very clear about Nanzhao in this period, but the Khan Ashina Gudulu of the Turks who have been restored to the country should die this year, and his younger brother silently became a Khan, and he will also enter a The adjustment period of regime transition.However, the Khitan that is raging in Hebei has not yet met the ripe conditions for rebellion.

Therefore, only Tubo will be the object that must be guarded against. We must ensure the safety of the four towns in Anxi, and don't lose it again.

It is for this reason that even though the current coup situation is unexpectedly good for Li Tong, because of Dou Luqinwang's unplanned tossing, the antagonism and division exposed in the southern province are already shocking, but Li Tong still hasn't changed his plan to leave Xijing.

The next chaotic situation in Shendu, not to mention his fourth uncle Li Dan, is not enough to suppress, even if Li Tong and Wu Zetian, whose prestige has been greatly damaged, are tied up, it will be difficult to bridge the various divisions again.

Staying in the city of Shendu will only be an endless political struggle like raising Gu. Instead of this, it is better for Li Tong to return to Xijing, focus on managing the old place of Guanlong, hold the Western Region firmly in his hands, and strengthen the connection with Shuzhong. Based on this, we will develop towards Heshuo.

In fact, his idea is similar to Wang Fangqing's previous proposal, except that the former obtained space through the concession of territory and power.What Li Tong chose was to obtain a longer-term development by temporarily giving up his righteous name.

Next, Li Tong doesn't intend to interfere with the issue of whether his fourth uncle will be reset or not. In other words, he reserves the right to hold him accountable, and he will come back to settle the score with you when I get older.

The situation that Li Dan will face next will be that there is a mother who is still unwilling to be lonely on the top, relatives with ulterior motives on the left, courtiers who are full of tigers and wolves in the court, Turks who have successfully restored their country in the northwest, and Khitan who is about to attack in the northeast. .

If Li Dan can handle this kind of internal and external troubles properly and restore the majesty of the imperial power, then there is nothing to say. I will clean up my family and go directly to Central Asia to enter the world and fight with the big food kingdom.

But if you can't do it well, then someone has said it, it's not that you were not given a chance, the facts have proved that you are really not good, and whoever dares to stop Lao Tzu from taking the position, then kill it without discussing it!

Of course, Li Tong still prefers the latter possibility in his heart, so he will regard Xijing as his next goal, and at the same time, he must ensure that Doulu Qinwang is killed during the coup.

Xijing has its own particularity. It was originally the core of the Li-Tang Empire. It was only under the special background of the past ten years that it was neglected.

Guan Longxungui has become very ungrounded over the years and has been seriously out of touch with the local roots. Dou Lu Qinwang is an obvious example. His mind is full of coquettish operations, but he ignores the basis for realization.

This incident is also a big test for Li Tong, which means that the future development of the situation has completely deviated from the scope of what he predicted.From now on, the situation he faces is the same as that faced by the people in the current situation.

But as long as you are not afraid of difficulties and live actively, this is not terrible. What is terrible is that people's awe of reality turns into contempt for themselves, thinking that there is no big hang, and I have no ability to change my reality.

Life is nothing more than birth, old age, sickness and death, even Li Tong's great-grandfather Li Shimin inevitably died of erysipelas.A person who has come out of desperation, some people are discouraged because of this, and some people are high-spirited because of it, but for Li Tong, fate is still playing tricks on me, but I can no longer admit defeat and fight with my life.

As a political figure, Qu Chongyu has reached the end of his life.But when Li Tong told him about his ideas about the affairs of the Western Regions, Qu Chongyu still smiled brightly.

Li Tong believes that Qu Chongyu's current happy face is not just about the gain or loss of personal power and status, but that it can determine his individual value and can be continued through the form of clan.

Because what Dai Wang is focusing on is not just the current coup in the city of God, but the thinking of Dai Wang has extended to the management of the Western Regions in the future.He may not be able to see a Chinese hero ready to go because of this, even if it is only based on fantasy, many possibilities have spewed out from Daiwang.

In the second half of life, what a person depends on for survival may be just a kind of vigor.When Li Tong was still patiently telling Qu Chongyu the many details of the support he could provide to the Four Towns of Anxi, he found that Qu Chongyu had fallen asleep soundly, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

There is no fluke in life, nothing more than words and deeds.Li Tong also doesn't know how much his vain talks can bring to Shiliu, but most of the time, people just lose their minds in the midst of the frivolity in front of them.

But for Li Tong, this is not a big problem. During the Yongchang period, when he had initially won his grandmother's understanding, but still tried to get out of the cabinet with his family, his life had already been based on giving to the world. bring about more profound changes.

This kind of belief, whether ignorant or stupid, may have gone against the balance of pros and cons, but in the end, everything I see and everything I can do, the world should not be like that, and life should not be like that.How many techniques are used, each has its own ingenuity, but as a human being in life, there should be a bottom line!

Li Tong ordered the soldiers of the Beiya Army to move Qu Chongyulian's bedding, who had already fallen asleep, back to the camp. When he walked out of the straight hall, he took a look at the rising sun leaping above the horizon, and couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed.Then, the defenders at Dayemen came to report to Prime Minister Yang Zaisi asking for an audience.

Li Tong met Yang Zaisi in Xuanwu City, seeing that the laces of Yang Zaisi's official robes were messy, he couldn't help being amused.

"The emperor's heir suddenly entered the political affairs hall, and the humble officer was in Zhiluantai beforehand, so he didn't know the facts. The situation in the southern province was chaotic, and the holy emperor's book was entered into the hall. The humble officer was ordered to be signed carefully, lest His Royal Highness's military affairs be delayed. In the case, I hope it will be appropriate for the matter."

After Yang Zaisi entered the hall, he tended to go forward and pray again. The etiquette is so rigorous that it is not just the etiquette when colleagues and colleagues meet each other.

Seeing Yang Zaisi's appearance, Li Tong couldn't help laughing again, not because the prime minister was so respectful to him, after all, after Dou Lu Qinwang and Wu Sansi were killed, at least at this moment, the prime minister of Nanya was to him It's just a lamb to be slaughtered.

Who would be happy because pigs and dogs nod and bow to themselves, even though these two kinds of animals are good friends of human beings.Human beings are born to be human, but when we are in a good mood, we can occasionally make gestures of compassion.

"Mr. Yang is serious. The reason why Xiao Wang rose up was because he was unable to stretch out his anger, but it also stopped at expelling the big thieves of the clan. How dare he lightly ask about the affairs of the southern province. Although there are tens of thousands of loyal and righteous people under his command Counting, but so far no one has dared to pass the Daye Gate. I only hope that the southern province will be able to return astray and not be confused by the national thieves. It is really heartfelt to see Mr. Yang here. The country supports scholars and wins people."

Li Tong looked at Yang Zaisi and said with a smile, although he also sent thousands of knights to follow Li Zhaode to kill Doulu Qinwang, but this was an internal conflict in the southern province.He just sent soldiers to guard Li Zhaode, who would have thought that Li Zhaode would drag his aunt to do that kind of thing.

When Yang Zaisi heard what the king said, he looked like a smile, but he really didn't know how to face the king.He saw the invisible swords and swords in the political affairs hall, and the emperor's heir did not reach the state of being clean and politically clear when he left the palace. On the contrary, more disputes surfaced.

As the prime minister of the Zhengshitang, and also a master of harmony, Yang Zaisi was naturally keenly aware of the detached status of the king in the current situation, so in front of the emperor's heirs and officials, he preemptively responded to the holy emperor's book, and After personally adding the signature and sending it to the Beiya, what I strive for is to be able to speak a few more words with the Dai Wang, and it is best to get the Dai Wang's asylum.

What Dai Wang said also proved to a certain extent that Yang Zaisi's speculation was not in vain.To Yang Zaisi, the so-called national support of scholars is nothing more than a talisman.

Yang Zaisi stepped forward on his knees, took the porcelain urn from the palace man, filled the teacup for the king himself, then bowed his head and said: "I don't know what Your Highness means when you are lost, but what Your Highness shows is exactly where you are going!"

Chapter 0473

Hearing Yang Zaisi's statement, Li Tong was happy again, and felt that as long as the people in the current situation mixed up to a certain position, no matter what their abilities and morals were, they really had their own roles.

Although he didn't go to the Zhengshitang to see with his own eyes the details of how the officials greeted the emperor's heir, but he could guess from Yang Zaisi's attitude.It's nothing more than fighting for power, and there is less harmony between each other.

As for Yang Zaisi coming to see him at this time, and expressing his sincerity in such a respectful manner, on the one hand, it shows that there is no place for him beside the emperor's heir, and on the other hand, it also means that he is not very optimistic about the emperor's heir.

An old man like Yang Zaisi still has his own way of judging the situation, otherwise he would not be able to avoid disasters in the Wu Zhou Dynasty when everyone is in danger, but can be promoted step by step.

This time, he followed the wind and followed the rudder, which was exactly what Li Tong needed.Li Tong wants to ensure that the southern province has his voice and influence. Of course, he will have some plans, but Yang Zaisi's participation is still a surprise to him.

It is not only Yang Zaisi's own value, accepting him can also inspire those centrists who are dissociated between Wu's party members and Tang family veterans, and provide them with another choice and way out.

For the next period of time, the main theme within the imperial court should be the division of merit and liquidation, reward for meritorious deeds and punishment for crimes, so as to re-establish Enwei.

Wu Zetian has been in charge of state affairs for more than ten years, and has also promoted quite a number of middle- and lower-level officials. This is also the political asset left by his grandmother, and Li Tong does not intend to hand it over to his fourth uncle.

For example, Chen Zi'ang, the rich second generation from Sichuan, used his outstanding literary talent to dissuade Gao Zongling from returning to Xijing for burial, and thus won the empress' appreciation and promotion.So even if Chen Ziang was not too close to the martial arts kings in terms of political stance, he would be more or less affected in the next liquidation.
