Tang Dynasty Never Night

"Alas." Sitting by the window, Li Xian sighed sadly.

Li Chongyi, who was reading a book at the side, glanced secretly at Zheng Qi on the opposite side, and then at Li Xian next to him. The doubts in his heart were about to emerge—he had never seen this uncle in name, but in fact he was equivalent to It is not an exaggeration for his father's people to be so thoughtful.

"Ugh."

Li Chongyi moved a little uneasily. This is all three sighs today. What happened?

Zheng Qi looked at Li Chongyi's unsteady look, reached out and knocked on the table, originally wanting to attract the attention of the big and small people, but unexpectedly, Li Chongyi glanced at him uneasy and didn't speak, bowed his head He continued to read, but Li Xian still looked like he was about to die.

Zheng Qi felt that he, a college student, must be thrown out and punished to stand, otherwise the young one would not even think about studying hard.After Zheng Qi quietly assigned some homework to Li Chongyi, he stood up and reached out to tap Li Xian's head. When Li Xian looked at him blankly, Zheng Qi pointed to the outside, meaning to go outside and talk.

After Li Xian went out, he said to Zheng Qi: "It's because I can't think about it, you can go back and teach Chongyi to read." When he said this, he suddenly sighed: "Well, Chunguan Shangshu can only help me teach children here now. Reading, after all, I have wronged you."

Chunguan Shangshu is the Ministry of Rites Shangshu. Now the emperor changed all the official names, and changed the Ministry of Punishment Shangshu to Qiuguan Shangshu.She also changed the Minister of Officials to Minister of Heaven, the Minister of Households to Minister of Local Officials, the Minister of Rites to Minister of Spring, the Minister of Military Affairs to Minister of Summer, and the Minister of Industry to Minister of Winter. She seemed to want to use this The method is different from that of Li Tang, or they want to use this method to remind who is in power now, but since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there is indeed a habit of changing official names, and many official names have been changed over and over again.

Zheng Qi looked at Li Xian, who was feeling a little sentimental recently, with a blank face, and pointed to the center of the topic as soon as he opened his mouth: "Are you worried about Wu Xuanhui?"

Li Xian nodded, and Zheng Qi suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart. Li Xian's attitude always made him feel that something was wrong. Did he pay too much attention to Wu Xuanhui?Although Zheng Qi thinks he is better than Wu Xuanhui in terms of appearance, but... Wu Xuanhui is young and vigorous, and even the emperor praises Wu Xuanhui. Recently, Li Xian and Wu Xuanhui have received frequent letters, and Li Xian seems to have a good feeling for Wu Xuanhui , could it be...

On the other hand, Li Xian didn't notice that Zheng Qi was thinking about something. After listening to the other party's question, he struggled for a long time and turned his head to look in the study room. Holding his hand, he sat under the crabapple tree in the yard and said: "Actually, I'm not worried about anything, I just feel a little strange, I... I never thought that Wu Xuanhui might be attracted by A Niang."

Although there are no rumors coming from Luoyang, Wu Xuanhui's stay in the palace is already a signal, okay?The Luoyang Palace is not counted as the East Palace. Except for the emperor's family, no normal man would stay in the palace. Those who could stay in it were eunuchs.

Apart from a certain reason for Wu Xuanhui to stay in the palace, there seems to be no other explanation. Not to mention that it was too late for the Shenhuang and Wu Xuanhui to discuss political affairs. Wu Xuanhui can be let out of the palace, it is not unheard of for ministers to discuss military and state affairs in the palace until late at night.

Zheng Qi looked at Li Xian and suddenly asked, "You think the Emperor shouldn't do this?"

Zheng Qi felt that he should first figure out what Li Xian was thinking. In fact, it would not be strange if Li Xian really disliked him. There were quite a few people who disliked the Divine Emperor's behavior back then. After all, many people thought that the Divine Emperor was wrong. Shou Fu Dao.

However, after being reborn once, probably once in a high position, Zheng Qi suddenly felt a little bit emotional. Since the God Emperor has already sat in that supreme position, why does she still cater to other people's ideas?The Emperor of God is not self-willed, but why should she listen to other people's opinions when it comes to personal life issues?

Zheng Qi was only worried that if Li Xian really couldn't get used to it, he might have a conflict with the Emperor at that time, just like a man loves a woman he loves, and the Emperor wants to protect a man...

After hearing Zheng Qi's words, Li Xian sighed again: "No, I just think it's weird. In fact, I know that there will be other men by my mother's side after all. This...cough cough, all kinds of miscellaneous notes It's all been recorded."

"Then what are you worrying about?" The alarm bell in Zheng Qi's heart rang even louder, so it seems that Li Xian did this simply because of Wu Xuanhui.

Li Xian rubbed his chin and said, "I just feel...it seems that I accidentally ruined Wu Xuanhui's future."

Wu Xuanhui himself has real talent and learning. If he relied on himself, he might not be able to be an official. Now... it's not good to say it, and he is just a regular servant on a loose horse. Strictly speaking, he is someone who plays with the emperor. not worth.

Zheng Qi said coldly: "If you didn't give him a push, how could he have any future?"

The only way Wu Xuanhui can go is an imperial examination. Of course, he knows Li Xian. It is not impossible for Li Xian to accept him as an aide, but let's put this aside for now. After all, he was the regent, and Li Tang was orthodox after all, no matter how angry those people were with Li Xian, they would gather around Li Xian spontaneously.

And Wu Xuanhui has been judged not to be able to take the imperial examination because of the unjust case of the teacher's murder, so what else can he do besides teaching?

Li Xian thought so too, and Zheng Qi saw that he seemed to have figured it out, so he lobbied hard: "What's more, even though the Divine Emperor is domineering, if Wu Xuanhui doesn't want it, can the Divine Emperor still force him?"

After Li Xian heard this, he was instantly embarrassed, as if... it was the same reason, his mother was so arrogant, she definitely couldn't do things that forced others, that is to say, Wu Xuanhui made his own choice.

Thinking of this, Li Xian suddenly felt that there was nothing to regret: "Forget it, everyone has his own way. Since he chooses this way, I think it's useless to think so much."

Zheng Qi smiled slightly: "That's exactly the case, not to mention that you value Wu Xuanhui, his character must be reliable, such a person is much better than those flattering people by the side of the Emperor?"

Hearing this, Li Xian thought of the famous Xue Huaiyi in history, and Wu Xuanhui was more reassuring in comparison.

Seeing Li Xian turn around, Zheng Qi pondered for a while and said, "Don't talk about him, now you need to write a letter."

After Zheng Qi finished speaking, he took out a handwritten letter from his wide sleeve. Li Xian took it over and glanced at it strangely, and then he couldn't help being stunned: "Reporting box?"

Zheng Qi was stunned after hearing this: "What whistleblower box?"

Li Xian waved his hand at him, and carefully read Zheng Qi's letter.Zheng Qi's letter is very simple, that is, he asked the emperor to set up a copper pot to receive the letter from all directions.To put it simply, this thing is specially for the emperor, but in Zheng Qi’s setting, this thing is not completely regarded as a whistleblower box, because it is not specially used for whistleblowing, but also for discussing government affairs and appealing unjust cases There are even celestial phenomena and military secret meetings.

Li Xian raised his head and looked at Zheng Qi blankly: "Why do you want to do this?" He didn't see any benefits of this thing. Can't figure out who the person who stole the letter is?Impossible, so it seems that this thing is actually a vanity project.

Zheng Qi thought for a while and said: "This thing has its advantages and disadvantages. The Emperor will get it sooner or later. She needs an excuse to eradicate her political opponents, but the change in her identity makes her search for officials' immorality in private as before. It's not suitable, that's not the reason for being a king, but she still needs such a thing. Originally, the copper pen should be donated by Yu Baozong, but this time Xu Jingye fell too fast, and Yu Baozong was implicated in it, so It's your turn."

Li Xian had a little understanding of what Zheng Qi meant: "You said... In fact, this copper penis is not a good thing?"

But Zheng Qi said: "Everything has pros and cons. It cannot be said that this thing is really bad. It can only be said that a good thing has not been used in the right place."

Li Xian thought about it for a while, and he felt that Zheng Qi probably wanted to use his hand to prevent this thing from appearing. After all, if he really wanted to get a copper pot, he shouldn't be allowed to write a letter. It seems that she is very conniving towards Li Xian, but she must still be vigilant in her bones. The current connivance is just to relax Li Xian's vigilance, and even wants to make Li Xian become lawless because of her connivance. Not bad, but as long as Li Xian moved, he would definitely make a mistake. At that time, the God Emperor might not really kill Li Xian, but suppressing Li Xian's power was imperative.

However, a person's personality determines her way of thinking. Li Xian will be vigilant if he doesn't move the God Emperor, but when Li Xian moves the God Emperor, he will think about the meaning of his doing so, and Li Xian wrote this memorandum, which seems to have a very obvious meaning: It's just giving yourself reputation points.

Opening up the world's way of speaking is something that a wise and generous monarch would do. The first thing the emperor thought about after seeing this memorial was whether those remonstrances would restrict her various policies. In this case Next, the Emperor will probably ignore this memorial.

Without saying a word, Li Xian copied a copy and sent it to Dongdu. He no longer cares about the emperor's opinion of him. It will make everyone betray their relatives, and now it is very good, keep a low profile, cultivate these newcomers from Plum Blossom Academy, let them adapt to the life of the court in his small court, eliminate some who cannot adapt, and let them go back to continue teaching , the rest are talents.

Li Xian's calculations are very good, so even though he has the title of regent, he has not done anything. Even the Turkic border, he just wrote a letter to let the court make a decision as soon as possible, and by the way described the brutality of the Turkic After a while, there is no difference between whether there is such a letter or not.

Li Xian's memorial can be directly submitted to the emperor, and no one dares to suppress his memorial.

When the Emperor of God saw Li Xian's memorabilia, his expression was a little strange. It seemed that he was a little surprised but also had some meanings that he had expected. around.

Shangguan Wan'er didn't feel that her status was threatened by having such a male colleague. On the contrary, she rarely saw foreign men in the palace all year round. Wu Xuanhui was handsome, well-spoken, and very polite to girls. Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but pay attention to Wu Xuanhui.

Shangguan Wan'er's job is to draw up imperial edicts for the emperor, and Wu Xuanhui's job is to help the emperor sort out the memorabilia, and Wu Xuanhui can approve some of the less important matters, so although Wu Xuanhui's official position does not seem to be high , but his rights are not small. It is too easy to attack dissidents at this time.

Wu Xuanhui couldn't help but twitched his eyebrows when he saw the seal of the regent king on the memorial. Although he was very curious, he didn't read it—only the emperor can read the memorial of the regent king in person. Authorize others to read, otherwise no one is qualified to read this memorial.

Fortunately, the Emperor of God did not notice his expression, but he did notice the expression of the Emperor of God, he did not ask rashly, the reason why he was able to follow the Emperor of God is to be able to assess the situation, know what to say and what not to say, He is also very strict with the outside world, and has never revealed the forbidden language.

After reading the memorial, the emperor's expression became even more strange. She pondered for a while, then put the memorial on the table and asked, "What do you two think?"

This means that Shangguan Wan'er and Wu Xuanhui were allowed to check, but Wu Xuanhui did not move, but looked at Shangguan Wan'er generously, fully expressing the respect of the new recruits for the old colleagues, Shangguan Wan'er stretched out her jade hand gently After picking up the memorial and looking at it for a while, he didn't speak, instead, Fen Mian shyly handed the memorial to Wu Xuanhui.

Wu Xuanhui accepted the memorial with a candid expression, his eyes were never on Shangguan Wan'er's face from the beginning to the end, which made Shangguan Wan'er feel a little disappointed.

The Emperor closed her eyes and thought about why she didn't see this scene. After she opened her eyes after a while, Wu Xuanhui just put down the memorial. After thinking for a while, Wu Xuanhui said: "This method is really ingenious. It can open up the way of speaking and show The God Emperor has a heart in his heart, the Tongjia is aimed at the common people, and the country is based on the people. If he can use this to hear the voices of the people, it will also make the God Emperor understand the current situation. Xiang, I think it is feasible."

This passage is Wu Xuanhui's sincere words. Speaking of it, the bright side sees the bright side. Wu Xuanhui didn't receive Li Xian's advance notice, so he knew that Li Xian didn't want him to intervene in this matter. , and didn't really expect the result, so Wu Xuanhui expressed his thoughts without any burden, and his focus was on participating in government affairs and military and state affairs.

After finishing this paragraph, Wu Xuanhui thought for a while and added: "It's unknown if one or two sages may be found through this method."

The Divine Emperor was really skeptical about Li Xian's motives. After thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't figure out what purpose Li Xian had for asking her to do this?At first, she thought that Li Xian was digging a hole for her. After all, if she got this thing, even if someone pointed at her nose and scolded her, she would not be able to refute too much, let alone punish the other party. After all, she asked the world to speak freely.

Now, after hearing what Wu Xuanhui said, the Divine Emperor suddenly changed his mind. Perhaps it would be really beneficial to do this. If there are really sages in the wild, and she excavated these people by herself, then most of these people should be able to become her confidantes After all, the so-called left-behind talents are sometimes just some unlucky and unwilling people.

The Emperor of God picked up the memorial and looked at it carefully, and found that Li Xian's focus was indeed on speaking freely about the government, and then to avenge his grievances. In fact, compared to Li Xian, the Emperor of God needs to build up his reputation, because now the world is scolding her There are many more than those who praise her, after all, this is still a patriarchal society, isn't it?

After thinking for a while, the Emperor of God made a decision directly: "Just do it."

After Wu Xuanhui heard this, he didn't say anything else. He didn't know whether Li Xian wanted to achieve his goal or not. If he didn't want to... But this opinion is really good.

Since it was Li Xian who wrote the letter, the Emperor of God is not the kind of person who would directly withhold the memorial and take credit for others. She directly asked someone to make the copper gong mentioned in the memorial to Li Xian, and made a more perfect setting.

There are four square copper huts, painted with colors. The green hut is in the east, and it is called Yan En, and it is a gift, and those who seek official positions vote for it; It is called redressing grievances, and those who have grievances will vote for it; Heijiao is in the north, and he is called Tongxuan, and those who talk about celestial disasters and military secrets will vote for it.

Li Xian was dumbfounded after knowing the result, he turned his head to look at Zheng Qi and said, "Darling, this script is wrong, dear."

Is it possible that the God Emperor did not do such a thing because he did not believe him?What is rhythm?

Zheng Qi was very calm, and gave Li Xian a strange look: "What's wrong with this? Isn't this just right?"

Huh?Li Xian looked at Zheng Qi in a daze. After he said his guess, Zheng Qi glanced at him: "What misunderstanding do you have about me or the Emperor?"

Li Xian shook his head, always feeling that he seems to have guessed wrongly what Zheng Qi meant.

Sure enough, Zheng Qi said: "Even though the Emperor is wary of you, if you really have a good suggestion, she can't ignore it, so don't worry about it."

If she didn't even have this most basic ability to distinguish right from wrong, the God Emperor wouldn't be the God Emperor she is today, I'm afraid she wouldn't even be able to take the position of queen back then.

Li Xian wiped his face and asked seriously: "Then what do you think?"

What Zheng Qi thinks is very simple, it is to give Li Xian a reputation value. Since the emperor did this in Luoyang, then Li Xian can do the same in Chang'an. After all, Chang'an is the real capital city. It's normal for Li Xian to recruit people of insight through Tongjiao, what an opportunity to enrich his team with integrity.

Well, Li Xian took a deep breath, and he realized that he was thinking wrongly, people, you can't look at others with colored glasses.

According to what Zheng Qi said, Li Xian wrote a letter requesting that the copper pottery be placed in Chang'an. The God Emperor also had courage and did not suppress Li Xian because of this. What's more, she can't be depressed alone.

In fact, this is indeed the case. After the copper box is placed, all kinds of letters scolding the emperor's rooster Sichen can be found everywhere. Wu Xuanhui's task is to throw aside these things that do not have any substantive suggestions other than swearing, and then Then pick out constructive opinions from the rest and show them to the Emperor.

It's just that although there are many scholars in this world, there are still too few who can say something. Many people are clearly narrow-minded, but they like to stand on the commanding heights and point out the country, especially some crazy students. They don't know what humility is. There is a real name directly in it, and what's more, it is said that if he is not reused, this country will be over and so on.

Even though Wu Xuanhui had a calm temper, he couldn't help but feel angry and funny. As for the Emperor of God...he simply ignored this kind of people. Those letters scolding her were not read because she didn't want to see her, but because she didn't have the time. , as the emperor, her control over the court is not as strong as that of Li Zhi. The result is that she needs to be too busy, but this is a process. After all, there are too many people who reject her now. She needs to drive them out and replace them with her own people. , Only then can she breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Li Xian's place is similar to this place, but Li Xian is obviously more famous than the Emperor of God. He directly hired the current court official Shangshu to help him choose letters, and occasionally there are two little secretaries, Zheng Jin and Li Chongyi, to help him read them. letter.

After reading it for two days, Li Xian lost interest in this matter, because there are too few really useful opinions. As for those who scold him, whatever, he thought of this result when he was in meditation. If you dare to do it, you can bear it.On the contrary, Zheng Jin and Li Chongyi sometimes feel very angry when they see such letters, especially Zheng Jin, he has already read a lot, and with a Jinshi brother like Zheng Qi, his current vocabulary is enough for him to read. Knowing those letters, not to mention that those who cursed did not intend to be cryptic at all, they scolded very boldly, Zheng Jin and Li Chongyi almost had to turn over the table eight times a day to calm down.

Correspondingly, these two little guys are learning martial arts more and more vigorously, as if they want to vent their anger through martial arts. Li Xian watched it for fun, so he didn't stop them two from reading the letter. Zheng Qi was right. Well, the two of them need such tempering, otherwise, if they are pampered, what else can they do if they can't stand being scolded by others in the future?

Just when Shenhuang and Li Xian felt that the existence of Tongjia was very tasteless, a big event really happened: someone anonymously reported that General He Lanminzhili was connected with foreign enemies!
