Crown Tang emperor

After forcing the opponent back two steps, Li Shouli was a bit exhausted, and sat down on the ground in frustration, imitating Li Tong's daily actions, and raised his hand to express his admiration for Yang Sixu: "Jian Pu is really strong, he can You are so stable under my pounce, you are the only one!"

Li Tong laughed out loud when he heard this, what does it mean to lose without losing?In this way, Li Shouli seems to be the champion of the three armies and invincible.

He lowered his head and groped around for a while, but found that there was no suitable utensil on his body, so he raised his hand and grabbed Li Shouli's outer robe, took off two golden beads that were attached to the robe, and raised his hand to Yang Sixuan: "Strength is rewarded! "

Yang Sixu reached out to fish it out, but when Jin Zhu got it, he knelt down and held it up with both hands: "Servant, servant..."

"Your Majesty rewards you with grace, just accept it. The door servants raise animals, and Aye recommends them to serve the Majesty. Your life is the property of the benefactor's family. Whether you are punished or rewarded, is there room for you to decline?"

Yang Xu stepped forward to reprimand Yang Sixuan, then rushed to help Li Shouli up, and turned to look at King Yong'an with a flattering smile.He could see that today's arrangement to make a big investment in King Yong'an's favor, in addition to compensating for the bad deeds of the past, there may be some room for invitations and rewards.

Li Tong was in such a good mood that when he looked at Yang Xu, who was fat and loose, he felt a little delicate. Seeing Yang Xu's expression, he said with a smile: "Previously, the new song was praised for the celebration, but Yang Xu worked hard and tried his best. neglect."

Just like his grandma just praised him as a good grandson, he can reap a lot of benefits, and people and things that he couldn't visit before all come here one after another.

Now that he praised this Yang Xu, it was a kind of reward in itself, and the other party could use this activity to win any benefits, and each depended on his own ability.As for the more specific rewards and support, not to mention that he doesn't know the details of how these humble people can enter, and there is no need to go into details.

After Yang Xu heard the words, he also beamed with joy, as for what kind of thoughts were going on in his mind, there was no need to elaborate.

A eunuch like Yang Sixuan was accidentally recruited. Although his loyalty needs to be cultivated, Li Tong has plenty of time.

Before being in the confinement, he only felt depressed, but now that he was sure that he was protected by his grandma, he was not so keen on seeking to go out. After all, the wind and rain outside, with many dangers, is far better than being in the confinement to spend a leisurely life. I didn't like the leftovers, and initially formed a small team of my own.

The appearance of Yang Sixuan gave Li Tong some inspiration.

Although his current situation has been reversed, the situation of his small arms and legs has not changed.Whether it is to settle down or fight for power, it is fundamental to have a loyal and reliable military force in your hands.

Everyone understands this truth, and because everyone understands it, military power is the most sensitive focus of the era at any time and in any era.

In his current situation, if he wanted to do some small tricks in the Nanya and Beiya, he would definitely be courting death.Only marginal penetration and unconventional development can seek the possibility of one or two side breakouts and corner overtaking.

After pondering for a while, Li Tong instructed Yang Xu again: "Master Xue asked me to compose a new Buddhist song. He loves flying dance skills. Later, he will transfer it to the Department of Taile, and choose more young and healthy people to enter the workshop for use."

Looking for musicians has high requirements for strength. Under the circumstances that soldiers and warriors cannot be directly supported, the strong people among these musicians are the best manpower that Li Tong can contact and organize right now.Moreover, the number of these musicians is cheap, inconspicuous on the one hand, and better on the other hand.

Li Tong also didn't expect to organize a group of desperadoes who dared to fight hard and dare to follow him to carry out the palace change in a short time. He didn't need to launch the palace change now, but he was always prepared. It is still mainly to test, hone, and add some experience.

The young king himself should not be underestimated, and with the name Xue Huaiyi, Yang Xu naturally responded to King Yong'an's orders.

Li Tong didn't just take advantage of the situation and do nothing. Although Xue Huaiyi didn't urge him, he still provided the framework of the Buddhist song and provided several records for him to choose.

They are considered to be friends with each other, Xue Huaiyi sent someone to announce a few days ago that Ciwu Terrace will be officially built after January, and Li Tong will naturally repay Xue Huaiyi by helping Xue Huaiyi to present scriptures.

Li Shouli showed great interest in Yang Sixu. When Li Tong was composing the Buddhist song, he pestered him to discuss the technique of cornering.As for the elder brother Li Guangshun, Li Tong didn't plan to let him go to the Inner Literature Museum in the short term, so he might as well stay in the Inner Teaching Workshop to help him arrange music.

In this way, the three kings got up and left after mingling in the inner teaching workshop until almost evening.On the way, Li Shouli was beaming, pulled Li Tong and said, "Yang Jiu is really strong, and you don't need to use your strength, Sunnu, just let him play with me."

After Li Tong heard the words, he waved his hand and refused without thinking: "Young lady doesn't like your floating games. Ah Jiu will only follow me around in the future. I can beat your impatience in my free time. You can't pester him in daily life."

Brothers also have to settle accounts clearly. After finally recruiting such a thug to help, how can I throw it to Li Shouli to fight every day to cultivate the relationship, or the family business will become bigger in the future, will you two use it or not?

He also turned his head and told Yang Sixuan: "Brother is naughty and playful, if he insists on entanglement, you might as well beat him hard, leave the pain in the nursing home, and the concubine will not blame you."

Yang Sixuan was sweating profusely when he heard the words, he didn't know how to answer, he just shrank his head and followed closely behind King Yong'an, he really didn't dare to play games with the young king.

Eunuchs tend to be close relatives. Although there is no blood relationship, they are still in order with each other. This is probably a kind of self-deception.Through chatting with Yang Sixu, Li Tong learned that the old eunuch Yang Chong had more than 20 godsons, Yang Sixu was ranked ninth, and Li Tong directly called him the first.

After returning to Ren Zhiyuan, it was time for dinner. Not long after Li Tong had dinner, another visitor came, and it was Mrs. Xu.

Chapter 0098

Since the Three Kings made a big splash on the Dajiu Ritual Day, great changes have taken place in the personnel related to their family.

Xu's visit this time has a new identity. She has been promoted from Dianzhi to Siyuan female official again.The banned female officials are divided into six bureaus and 24 divisions, under which there are codes and palms. The female officials in the first division can already be said to be the real high-level figures in the group of female officials.

Li Tong was also happy about Xu's promotion: "In the old days, when he was in charge of the affairs of the court, he knew that Xu Si was diligent and meticulous. Now that he has increased his duties, it shows that the rules and regulations of the Shang Palace are clear."

After hearing the words, Mrs. Xu smiled self-ashamedly: "The humble concubine is stupid, and she should just treat it as the king's wrong reward. The promotion this time is all due to the help of Yu Hui, the old king. I don't care about the severity of hard work, I just hope that I can fulfill my duties and not let me People laugh at the king's servants for being stupid."

Among the 24 divisions in the ban, Siyuan is not a very good place to go, but Xu's ability to go straight from a deserted courtyard to a sixth-rank female division in just half a year is really enviable to others.Where did this opportunity come from, she was naturally very clear, and her gratitude to King Yong'an was indeed from the bottom of her heart.

The matter of promotion was explained briefly, and Xu turned around and said solemnly: "It's really hard work to be rewarded by the gods and emperors on the grand king's day. I hate the ugly villains in the outside world, and they still want to do harm! Shangyuan will meet relatives and concubines on the same day. The poor man actually said evil things about me, hoping that I could help the bandit frame the king..."

When Li Tong heard this, his face turned cold again, and he just motioned Xu to continue.

"The dog thief is extremely vicious, he threatens and lures, and many family members of palace officials are harassed by him. I have recently checked carefully, and it is known that several palace officials have been lured by him, and the idlers in the family may be recommended to work in the war. The name is recorded here. For the king's trial..."

While speaking, Mrs. Xu took out a list from her sleeve and put it on the case, and said: "In order to collect the crimes of dog thieves, the concubine also made a list of a few people. He secretly married the palace and asked more about the king's past illnesses. , I am afraid there is a conspiracy brewing, the king must guard against..."

After Li Tong heard the words, his mood sank again.He has been living in the confinement all year round, and it is difficult to make a big mistake in his daily behavior. Only the resurrection from the dead involves supernatural powers. If he wants to catch any charges, this is the most suitable way to start.

However, Qiu Shenji's actions were generally within his expectations, and there was some irritability, but it did not cause panic.

It's not easy for foreign ministers to remotely control the crime of supernatural and disgusting in the forbidden area.Moreover, after the Day of the Dajiu Ceremony, with Wu Zetian once again affirming the construction of the Ciwu Terrace, his resurrection has been ignored and tolerated by his grandmother to a certain extent.

Qiu Shenji's operations would not cause Li Tong any major troubles, but his behavior of wantonly conspiring with palace officials really violated Wu Zetian's taboo.

But now, it is impossible for Li Tong to get rid of Qiu Shenji by relying on Xu's collection of these criminal evidences.Ministers of this level, and they are also key generals in charge of the army, whether they fall or not, really has little to do with whether they are guilty or not.

On the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, Qiu Shenji went to the temple in armored clothes, which seemed to be just a small crime of disrespect.But after Li Tong thought about it carefully, he felt that if his grandma really wanted to pursue it seriously, it would be enough to kill Qiu Shenji.

Now in the first year of Yongchang, it will be more than a year since Wu Zhou's Tang Manchu completed his calculations. It is not even ruled out that there is already a specific plan to usurp this year, but Wu Zetian still faces great resistance.

Under such circumstances, Qiu Shenji, as Wu Zetian's confidant general, was obsessed with old grievances and made provocative and provocative actions. His arrogance and domineering were almost out of control!

Once it is grasped and used by those ministers who do not want Wu Zetian to take the last step, it will bring great trouble to Wu Zetian's road to the top.

But even so, Wu Zetian still played a sloppy eye, instead of pursuing it, he rewarded it.It can be seen that during this period, Qiu Shenji was an important part of his follow-up layout. As long as he did not make some unforgivable mistakes, Wu Zetian would not give it up easily.

For Wu Zetian, it was really just a trivial matter for Wu Zetian to spy on the palace officials and spy on the young king's whereabouts.But if they inquired about Emperor Li Dan's family, then Qiu Shenji would surely die.

Even with such an understanding, Li Tong didn't dare to take advantage of it to frame him, otherwise he would really have a long life, which would be an even more unforgivable crime than framing his fourth uncle Li Dan.

"Although the dog thief is vicious and vicious, but he wants to use his fierce power to harm the relatives under the protection of the God Emperor. It can be seen that his heart is delusional, and his death is not far away."

It's like a couple in daily life, they quarrel all day long, but they can barely manage to organize a family, fighting at the head of the bed and fighting at the end of the bed, but if things go on like this, they will eventually reach a critical point, and they will completely part ways.

Li Tong didn't know what other rampant actions Qiu Shenji had other than targeting their family, but it could be seen that Qiu Shenji was madly testing his grandma's limit of patience.

The current him naturally does not have the hard power to compete with Qiu Shenji, but he has one advantage that Qiu Shenji does not have, and that is his harmlessness.His grandmother can rest assured that he will be kept in captivity. Qiu Shenji is a mad dog outside the fence, grinning his teeth is helpless.

Previously, Li Tong was worried that their family was useless to his grandma, and there was no need to take special care of him, but now he is already a well-known grandson of the emperor, if he is still easily killed by Qiu Shenji, his grandma Shameless?

Hearing the young king's firm words, Mrs. Xu felt much more at ease.

Although her husband tried his best to persuade her during the meeting, she had to return to the prison because she was not tolerated by her husband's family, and there was no relationship between them.Now she is also rising in the ban, so naturally she will not betray King Yong'an.

After talking about this, Mrs. Xu glanced at the strong man Yang Sixu who was standing outside the door, with a hint of thought on his brows, he asked, "When will Your Majesty take this strange-looking eunuch under his house?"

Li Tong was surprised when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Xu Si also knows Ah Jiu?"

Mrs. Xu waved her hands and said with a light smile: "I only know that he seems to be the adopted son of Old Man Yang of Sigongtai. He heard people laugh at him and eat half sheep. All the palace officials call Sigongtai for manpower and miscellaneous functions. They all have to call names and don't use it." I really can't afford food. If it wasn't for Old Man Yang's sect, this big-bellied eunuch would have starved to death in Ye Ting long ago."

Hearing this, Li Tong couldn't help being happy. No wonder that old eunuch Yang Chong pushed his godson over when he saw his interest. He seemed to be scared by this godson.

Thinking that such a eunuch who was so powerful in the southern regions during the Kaiyuan period had such a dark history of being cold-eyed and disgusted, Li Tong couldn't help but feel sad about himself besides laughing.

"Neijiaofang has always been the adopted son of Yang Chong. I can't forgive myself for negligence in the past. Please come and meet me. I see his entourage is mighty, so I will keep it by my side."

Now that Mrs. Xu is considered a confidant, Li Tong explained a few words casually.

Mrs. Xu sneered after hearing the words: "The old man Yang is so thin-faced that he dares to sell himself to the throne? The king doesn't need to care about these lowly people, and then he will be a concubine in the palace and teach him the truth that the lord should not be disobeyed lightly! "

"It's just a trivial matter, there is no point in pestering you endlessly."

Li Tong waved his hands to express that he didn't mind, and he had a new understanding of the humbleness of eunuchs in this period. Xu was only a female official of the Siyuan, so he dared not to take Yang Chong, a great eunuch of the Sigongtai, in his eyes.

Mrs. Xu, on the other hand, was a bit staunch as to humiliate his subjects and die, and he was still resentful: "Then Yang Chong is also an old man in the ban, and he feels that he can fully repay his old mistakes by using a foster son, which is still a big loss of propriety! His Majesty naturally doesn't know about all the vileness, but Yang Chong seems to be kind, but his heart is also cruel. He collects many adoptive sons and distributes them among the palace gates, and chooses them as visitors, guides, envoys, and pawns. More than half of the goods are transported, and they have to accept bribes from them, and they are nicknamed "the old man who picks skin" in private..."

She said it angrily, thinking that she was exploited a lot in the past.

Li Tong's eyes widened slightly after hearing the words, as expected, he still couldn't just focus on the side, but Yang Chong was humble and courteous in front of him, unexpectedly, he also had a side that was rampant.

However, when Xu Shi said that Yang Chong could actually control some channels to communicate with the outside world, he was moved for a while. Although he had no plan to leave the forbidden zone in the short term, he also knew that he couldn't stay in the forbidden zone for the rest of his life. Yang Chong can make good use of this channel.

At least, the money his grandma bestowed on him was of no use in the Renzhiyuan, so it was better to transport it out to start some businesses.A fierce person like Yang Sixuan kills half a sheep in a single meal. In the future, if there are too many such people, it will be a burden. You still have to have your own small treasury.

So he asked about Xu's little concubine, Su Lang, who was running the mansion outside, and Xu replied seriously: "In the past few months, Su Lang has been renting money in Luonan Fang." A mansion. In previous years, the amount of money would be more than enough to buy a property, but recently it has been rumored that the imperial court will move a large number of households from Guanlong to Luo.

After Li Tong heard the words, he felt a sense of strangeness in his heart. He didn't expect that the soul had traveled through thousands of years, and he had to be trapped by these ancient real estate speculators in order to start a small business.

Li Tong also has the impression of Xu’s relocation policy. During the Wu Zhou period, a large number of households from other prefectures were moved to Heluo for resettlement, especially in the Guanzhong area, as many as hundreds of thousands of households. This was also a far-reaching internal affairs during Wu Zetian’s period. One of the national policies.

Li Tong is considered wealthy right now, and thinking that the population of Heluo will only increase in the future, and it will become more and more difficult to buy properties. After the Wuzhou Revolution and the reorganization of family property, he didn't know how much he could own, so he decided to No longer haggling.

"There are a lot of goods in the yard, and Xu Si will pick up some to send outside later. The lease is always not as good as the original."

Hearing King Yong'an's order, Mrs. Xu laughed: "Why does Your Majesty have to work in private treasury? Old Man Yang is cunning and occupying it for a long time. I don't know how much he has accumulated. It is also a source of prying eyes. Presumably this is why he is eager to be close to His Majesty. He wants to enjoy the shade. , I still want to be clueless, how can there be such a reason! This kind of triviality, don't bother the king, and I will definitely handle things properly when I invite myself to talk about him later."

After Li Tong heard the words, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and after pondering for a while, he didn't say much, which was regarded as acquiescing to Xu's proposal.

However, he is also silently calculating in his heart that after the future situation is more relaxed and calm, he still needs to pay attention to cultivating a group of real direct descendants from scratch.For example, although Xu Shi and Yang Chong are readily available, they also have their own temperaments and calculations that are hard to change. After all, they are still somewhat uncontrollable when used.

……

Entrepreneurship in the Sui and Tang Dynasties followed in one continuous line, and the Guanzhong standard system was adhered to in the early days.During the start-up period, the Guanlongmen faction, which integrated politics, economy, and military, was very strong, but once the country was unified, this relatively closed and xenophobic group was not conducive to the governance of the entire country.Ersheng's management of the Eastern Capital is actually similar to some of the national policies of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. The liberation of Guanlong was completed during Wu Zetian's period.

Chapter 0099 The Prime Minister is in Danger

In the following time, apart from being a bit more lively, the Renzhiyuan still had the same rhythm of life.

Sigongtai Yang Chong was very efficient in his work. After meeting the three kings in Jiaofang that day, he personally led a few eunuchs named by Li Tong to Renzhiyuan on the third day.

After those few people were admitted to the hospital, they kowtowed and thanked again and again. Now that the eunuchs in the ban are generally humble, they may not be very dignified when they serve well.Therefore, King Yong'an still remembered them and asked Si Gongtai to ask for them. These people were also very grateful.

When Yang Chong arrived, his attitude was still humble, and he paid a serious visit to Concubine Fang, briefly describing the past events in the East Palace, and each had feelings for each other.

Li Tong also didn't know if the Xu family had interviewed Yang Chong, and it was not easy to ask in person, after all, it was not something worth boasting about that he was a majestic patriarch who beat the eunuchs.

Before Yang Chong left the Court of Renzhi, he called his adoptive son Yang Sixu to the private place, and said: "It is a great fortune for you to be able to serve as a nobleman and no longer be a falcon and dog in the forbidden world. The King Yong'an has won the praise of His Majesty the Emperor, and the benevolent and righteous Dignified, benefiting the common people, although he is still living in the forbidden, the future will never end here. What my son relies on is just a little clumsy strength, and he has little wisdom to look out for human feelings. Since he is a noble master, he will follow him loyally. The future may be noble or poor. You're cheap, worry about the Lord's reward."

"Son, remember it!"

Yang Sixu stood respectfully with his head bowed, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Your Majesty is really a benevolent and righteous master. My son eats a lot of food every day but does not work hard. Your Majesty does not dislike him."

"This is your blessing! We slaves in the stables can only hope for a morsel of food. Whether it is a golden bowl or an earthen jar, it depends on nature."

With a sigh of emotion, Yang Chong raised his hand to pat the righteous son's chest, and then slowly left the Institute of Renzhi with the support of the accompanying eunuchs.

After a period of time, the Three Kings still traveled leisurely in the Forbidden City. Although it was monotonous, the trip between Renzhiyuan and Neijiaofang was a pleasure.

But the current situation is not as flat as in the ban. Around the New Year, the continuous ceremony can be regarded as maintaining an illusion of prosperity and peace.But as soon as January came out, the atmosphere became turbulent again.

At the beginning of February, the Emperor Shenhuang honored his father, the warrior Xun, as Zhou Zhongxiao Taihuang, all the tombs of the ancestors were honored as mausoleums, and the Chongxian Mansion was set up to assign officials to take charge of the sacrifices in the tombs.

In mid-February, Li Zhaode, a doctor of Suzheng, joined Wu Sansi in the spring official Shangshu, and Wu Sansi was dismissed from the spring official Shangshu post.Shortly thereafter, Li Zhaode was convicted of eating at the restaurant, and was demoted to Zhenzhou Lingshui County Captain, starting today.

In February, there were more than one personnel promotion and demotion, but the most astonishing one was Ge Fuyuan worshiping the prime minister.

At the end of last year, Ge Fuyuan was dismissed from the position of Zuo Suzheng doctor because of his involvement with the former Suzheng official Jian Weiwei, and he only stayed in the province as a regular servant of Zuo Sanqi. However, in mid-February, he was first appointed as Fengge The servant, and later joined Fengge Luantai to make peace and formally pay homage to the prime minister.

Obtaining a phase from an idle person is already exaggerated enough.However, Ge Fuyuan's salty fish turned around more than that. Just ten days after worshiping the prime minister, Ge Fuyuan was left behind by his foreign minister Xijing. General Qianwei.

Although Li Tong lived in the ban, he also paid close attention to the important affairs of the court.Now his situation has greatly improved, and his sources of information are extensive, so there is no need to deliberately inquire, someone will naturally tell him about these important court affairs.

Li Tong was very happy when he learned that Li Zhaode, the official of You Suzheng, had attacked one after another and directly killed Wu Sansichun's position as official minister.To be honest, if it wasn't for his grandma's side effects, the abilities of the Wu family brothers would be really worrying.

But his joy did not last long, and the fruit of victory was bitter. As expected, Li Zhaode was kicked off to Hainan.However, Li Tong didn't worry much about Li Zhaode, knowing that this big hand still has troubles.

Li Tong even felt that compared to Di Renjie, who was boasted by later generations, Li Zhaode seemed to be more qualified to be his grandmother Wu Zetian's close friend.

In the early days of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, when Li Wu seized his heir, Li Zhaode fought several tough battles. He asked him to set up an heir and kill the demon with a stick.In the past few years of the Tianshou Revolution, the prime ministers have died in batches. Li Zhaode is really not convinced that he can survive these few years with such a jump.

However, when Ge Fuyuan paid homage to the prime minister and was sent to stay in Xijing, Li Tong was in no mood to cherish other people's opportunities.

If it is not obvious to say that the direction of worshiping the prime minister is not obvious, then another edict was issued later, that is, Ouyang Tong, who was demoted as the governor of Wanzhou, was called back to the court to serve as Secretary of Rites, and Li Tong fully understood that he Calling grandma is a small trick, but his grandma's ability to push the boat with the current and turn the clouds and rains is really wonderful, and it is hard to guard against.

Compared with the personnel changes at the prime minister level, Ouyang Tong's return to the court is not a big deal.But even if it was only concentrated on the prime minister level, the exchange of Ge Fuyuan and Pei Judao was enough for Li Tong to realize his grandma's sinister intentions and grasp of opportunities, and he was going to attack the prime ministers!

Ge Fuyuan asked to build Ciwu Terrace, but was soon dismissed.Not long after, Li Tong and the other three kings participated in the Daqu ceremony, and made a wave of presence with the Daqu "Vientiane".After that, Ge Fuyuan was promoted to prime minister and stayed in Chang'an.

An obvious logical chain can already be formed, that is, Wu Zetian's series of political actions, her children and grandchildren did not object, and their family was very friendly.Because Ge Fuyuan saw this clearly, he received a special reward from the emperor and became the prime minister of the guardian.

If this logic is still weak, then the subsequent return of Pei Judao to the court and taking charge of the military power in Nanya with the honor of Prince Shaobao will continue to strengthen this logic.

Who is Pei Judao?It's Li Tong's uncle Li Hong's father-in-law, and his grandmother Wu Zetian's in-laws!

Will these two personnel changes, one in and one out, make those prime ministers who still have the power to check and balance Wu Zetian startled, and there are two traitors among us?Do they still dare to have any actual contradictory actions?

For Wu Zetian's political skills, Li Tong was a little numb with admiration.He wanted to help his grandma whitewash, but he didn't expect that his appearance would give his grandma such a large operating space, which would directly destroy the trust and tacit understanding among the prime ministers.

For a moment, he really felt that he was a sinner in the country, but he never thought that his grandma was so good at making noises.But soon, he felt ashamed that he hadn't received the money after playing the game.

He was in confinement, so he didn't know the connection between Gefu Yuanbai and their family, but thinking about it, he must be suspicious.But the problem is, he knows in his heart that Ge Fuyuan's worship has nothing to do with their family!
