Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty

The meeting of the leaders of the two parties will determine the direction of the court for the next 15 or even 20 years. This is a top-secret matter that cannot be known.The next step is to assign tasks to their party members and walk in that direction step by step.No high-ranking person will say what they think, even if they have already made up their minds, they will not tell the whole story to the subordinates.They just need to constantly adjust their strategies according to the current politics, constantly deploy manpower, issue orders according to the situation, and let people complete them.

This time, what the Empress Dowager and Princess Dachang decided will have a profound impact on the Tang royal family for the next 50 years and even hundreds of years to come.This negotiation was called the "Alliance on the Pavilion" by later generations.

This is all funeral affairs, neither Gao Yang nor Wu Meiniang knew about it.

This pavilion faces the lake on three sides, and in front of it is a flat green area, not even a single shrub, so it is not afraid of someone hiding and eavesdropping.

For such an important matter, there was no delay in discussing it. Gao Yang suggested that Wu Meiniang was perfect, and the two of them each thought of a few feasible operation methods. They removed the unfeasible and kept the compatible ones. Both sides tried their best to protect each other's interests. Naturally there is no difference.

Still so tacit.

Halfway through the conversation, seeing the sky suddenly darken, and realizing that there are still many to come, the two decided to continue tomorrow.

After a while it might rain, Gao Yang is going to leave, if it is blocked by the rain, I don't know what the Empress Dowager will do to prevent her from leaving the palace.

Not surprisingly, before Gao Yang could speak, Wu Meiniang took the lead and said: "Let's go, let's have another cup." After finishing speaking, she cleaned the pot again and made new tea.

Gao Yang couldn't walk anymore, so he simply sat down.

Gao Yang is the only one in this world who can be treated so solemnly by the Queen Mother.She held a pot of tea and made a gesture of invitation.

The breeze is blowing, and the waves are coming slowly.The scenery is good, the mood is open, the person facing... Gao Yang raised his eyes to look at the person opposite, and continued to drink tea with his head down.

Wu Meiniang was not just hinting, she was expressing it, she looked at Gao Yang expectantly, hoping to chat, such as what happened recently, any happy events, or any worries, even if she said "I will see you in the morning." The flowers bloom before, and I feel something immediately" such words without connotation are good.

But Gao Yang didn't accept it.

It was cloudier.The pavilion is so big that even if it rains, you can't get inside.Going now, maybe it will rain halfway, which is even worse.Then stay a little longer.

Seeing that Gao Yang was not in a hurry to leave, Wu Meiniang felt relieved, and continued, "How is Princess Jinyang?"

"It's safe. It's just that she has to give birth well. Her foundation is weak in the first place, and she should be taken care of. But one person who doesn't pay attention makes her tired." Gao Yang's tone slowed down. Jinyang was also stubborn, and Xincheng persuaded her. I couldn't help her, and I was exhausted.

She is used to this, when she talks about Jinyang, her tone is very gentle, Wu Meiniang didn't think anything of it in the past, but now she finds it very eye-catching.I didn't feel anything before, it was because I was sure of His Highness's dedication, but now I feel uneasy because I don't have that certainty.Gao Yang's evasive attitude was so obvious, what he said that night was like cutting a knife, the maid she gave to Gao Yang actually took root in her study and never left.It's like lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot.

Wu Meiniang complained endlessly, and there was nothing she could do about it, so she couldn't use force, could she?She could only suppress the sour jealousy in her heart, and said calmly: "Fortunately, it's all good. Don't patronize her, and you should pay more attention to yourself. After the new year, you will lose a lot of weight."

Gao Yang looked down at himself, nonchalantly: "I don't think it's better to be thinner, but the weather will be hot in two months, summer will be bitter for fat people."

It's just that the oil and salt are not in, and there is no room for people to express themselves in every word.This kind of speech is really indifferent to the extreme, it is clearly talking to you, but it reveals a kind of alienation from the tone of words.Wu Meiniang propped her cheeks and looked at her sideways: "It hurts to see it. My heart hurts."

Gao Yang glanced at her, but didn't say anything, but his momentum weakened.Wu Meiniang keenly grasped this change, coughed dryly, and pretended to be natural to touch her hand. If His Highness didn't feel disgusted, she could use this time to say something to win her back.As soon as he touched it, there was a thunderclap in the sky, Gao Yang was startled, his body trembled slightly, and he withdrew his hand suddenly.

With his hands empty, Wu Meiniang's heart was also empty.

The showers came pouring down, accompanied by rolling thunder, and the lake suddenly heard the sound of falling water.Looking around, I saw a vast ocean on the invisible Taiye Pool.

The rain covered the whole world.

Many willow trees by the pool were drenched, and the rain and mist filled the air, like a fairyland.Gao Yang got up and walked to the fence.The railings were soaked in rain and were still wet and dripping.

Wu Meiniang was annoyed that the rain came at the wrong time, seeing Gao Yang getting up, she lowered her head and made ginger tea, so as to get rid of the cold, so as not to catch a cold.

After a while, they each held a cup of ginger tea and enjoyed the rain side by side.

The rain is getting smaller and denser, and it falls on the lake, causing many small waves, which is very leisurely.

"In this kind of weather, it's best to invite three or four talents to the garden, at most a stick of incense, there will be new sentences." Gao Yang talks gracefully, she has a lot of experience in this way.

Wu Meiniang has never experienced it before. Although she was not from a poor family when she was young, but because of the treacherous relationship in her family, she has rarely relaxed since she could remember. After entering the palace, except for occasionally being with Gao Yang, she only had a rare moment of relaxation. They are all exhausted, first for survival, then for climbing, in the final analysis, it is still for survival, and now they are at the peak, but most of the scenery of life has been missed.

"I've never had such leisure before, I don't know how long it has been, I don't care about anything, just watch the rain quietly."

Gao Yang bent his lips and didn't say anything.

It is rare to have such leisure time, Wu Meiniang turned her head, and Gao Yang's profile was right in front of her eyes.The years have calmed the corners of the eyes that were once sharp, and the years have precipitated the restlessness of youth, leaving a calm and indescribable gentleness.Her mind moved slightly, and suddenly she didn't want to say anything, just stood side by side quietly like this.

Gao Yang's breath was very close, Wu Meiniang breathed slowly, and she gently held Gao Yang's hand beside her.

Gao Yang struggled twice, but he didn't break free, so he followed her.She looked into the distance, but paid attention to the people around her out of the corner of her eye. When she saw Wu Meiniang trying to restrain the corners of her mouth from raising slightly, she couldn't help smiling.

Under the net, it's time to finish.

In May of the first year of Zhaoxing, the subordinates of King Chen reported that King Chen had close contacts with demons and Taoists and practiced witchcraft.

Chen Wangzhong was the eldest son of the late emperor and was also a popular candidate for the crown prince.This matter has a lot to do with it. The Empress Dowager ordered Chen Wang to be imprisoned and sent to Beijing in a prison car.The King of Wu strongly objected: "The matter is still unclear, why should one-sided words offend people." It is suggested that an angel be sent to invite King Chen to Beijing, and by the way, arrest the informant's staff and confront him in the hall.

Of course Wu Meiniang refused to satisfy him, and said: "If you are so procrastinating, even if there is something wrong, the evidence will be wiped out. Lock up King Chen first, and if you wrong him, you will have to make up for it."

King Wu didn't budge either: "If you're so hasty, what's the face of the royal family!"

Don't give in!

Wu Meiniang said: "What do you think?"

Immediately, some people said that it should be locked up immediately, while some people thought it was impossible.

In the end, it was a compromise decision to send an angel to go with the Shaoqing of Dali Temple to investigate and deal with it on the spot.The current Shaoqing of Dali Temple is Yang Chen, who came from the family of Princess Gaoyang.After several palace banquets, King Wu felt that his sister seemed to have an affair with the Queen Mother, and it was not safe to send her people there, so he argued again and asked to send Zong Zhengqing to go with him. Zong Zhengqing joined him three months ago.

Wu Meiniang sat on the stage, stared at him for a long time, and said indifferently: "Wu Wang is too caring, and he is afraid that Shaoqing will cheat the court for personal gain?" It is true that Chen Wang is his nephew, but he has many nephews. Eighty is also fifty, why is he so attentive to Chen Wang.

After saying this, there was a moment of silence in the hall.Novel Junyang: Four Five Seven Nine Three Four Nine Two Lu

The king of Wu had a face of "being upright and not afraid of the shadow's obliqueness", and he was righteous: "I only fear that the wise king will be harmed by Xiaoxiao."

It makes sense, but in fact, he just felt that the matter of King Chen was strange, most of it was wronged, presumably the queen mother used this matter to eliminate dissidents, so he had to stop him, besides, King Chen was also the son of the emperor, if the emperor expected him to No, you can completely push Chen Wang.

People always want to leave an extra path for themselves, and King Wu is fighting for this extra path.

In the end, the Empress Dowager gave in, and then there was the question of who would host it. As usual, there was a case in this matter, and it should be handed over to Dali Temple, but Shaoqing was five levels lower than Zong Zhengqing, and it involved clan relatives, so it was hard to say.So it took another hour to argue over who should be in charge. In the end, King Wu won again with his strong fighting power, with Zong Zhengqing as the host and Dali Temple Shaoqing as the assistant.

The Queen Mother walked away.

King Wu felt that he was at the pinnacle of his life. It was a good start to win the victory from the Queen Mother for the first time.

The empress dowager left angrily, and the faces of everyone headed by Xu Jingzong were not very good-looking. Afterwards, many party members in Gaoyang were also very silent. The two of them had secretly cooperated many times, although most of them only came after the dust settled. Suddenly, I realized that we had cooperated, but as the number of times increased, we felt quite cordial with each other.Now that the opponent has lost a game, they are also very embarrassed to act too easily.Besides, it was Yang Chen who was sent out, so it was difficult to handle this mission.

This palpitating silence was only for a moment, and then everyone was talking and laughing at Yan Yan again.King Wu regained his modesty, smiled and nodded to everyone, and strode out of the court hall.

Behind him, Xu Jingzong smiled slightly, bowed his hands to the crowd and said: "It's time to go to the Yamen. Eat the king's salary and bear the king's worries. We shouldn't be a bit slack."

All the ministers said yes one after another, and walked out of the solemn palace together with each other.It seems that nothing happened just now.
