[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

03

Chu Xianggong followed Changsun Wuji and others into the Hall of Liangyi with the determination to become benevolent if he fails.

Four seats had already been prepared above the main hall, and they should be respectively for Changsun Wuji, Li Ji, Yu Zhining and Chu Suiliang.

After the three princes who were introduced into the hall by the king's servants finished saluting to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, they walked to their respective seats and sat down familiarly.

Li Zhi saw that the first seat on the right had been vacated, and the old man sitting under it looked pleasing to the eye, and he immediately understood.

It must be Uncle Changsun and the others who thought they were going to make Ah Wu their queen again...

Mr. Li Ji has always been a wise and safe person, and he doesn't like to confront Uncle Changsun, so he must have an excuse to not come today...

Sure enough, as soon as Li Zhi guessed this possibility in his heart, he listened to the king's servant reply in a low voice, "Saint, Li Xianggong suddenly returned to the Duke's mansion, and ordered the old slave to confess to the saint..."

"It's okay..." Li Zhi couldn't help scolding Li Ji as an old fox when he heard the words, but his face showed a worried look, and said: "Li Xianggong is not young anymore. Back then, he was the first to gallop on the battlefield with the late emperor. If he thinks about it, he will be too old." You have left a lot of wounded and wounded, so you send an imperial doctor from the imperial hospital, you can take any medicinal materials you need from our internal treasury, and bring two baskets of fresh fruits from the Western Regions to Li Xianggong, don't neglect!"

"I would like to obey." Wang's servant hurriedly bowed in response, and then hurriedly exited the hall.

Only then did Li Zhi look at the three old gentlemen sitting down.

The eldest grandson Wuji on the left did not show any special expression when he heard Li Zhi's instructions to the king's servant - what His Majesty Li Er did to his beloved courtier back then was much more disgusting than this.

And Chu Suiliang, who was sitting in Changsun Wuji's attack, heard that His Majesty Li Xiaojiu valued Li Laohu so much, he couldn't help frowning, hesitant to speak.

As for Mr. Yu Zhining, who was sitting on the right, he always looked so still, making people feel like he was about to fall asleep.

Li Zhi couldn't help coughing lightly, and said with a smile: "Today, I invite you all to come, because I have an important matter to discuss with you..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Suiliang below had already excitedly said: "The sage summoned the ministers to come here today, presumably for the purpose of setting up a new empress!"

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu didn't expect Chu Suiliang to interrupt suddenly, so he couldn't help being stunned.

When Chu Suiliang saw His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's appearance, he thought he had acquiesced, so he couldn't help saying loudly:

"The king and queen came from a famous family, and it was the late emperor who was married by your majesty. When the late emperor was about to die, he took your majesty's hand and said to his ministers: 'I have a beautiful son and a beautiful wife, and now I will pay you.' What your majesty has heard, the words are still in my ears..."

"Since the sage ascended the throne, there has been no mistake in the king's and queen's bowing to the inner curtain. The concubines have all praised their virtues! The sage favored his concubines, despised the main palace, and caused the middle palace to do immoral things..."

Chu Suiliang had no way to evade the empress Wang and his mother's tactics of disgusting victory, but he blamed this on the fact that His Majesty Li Xiaojiu didn't pay much attention to his wife and spoiled his concubine and killed his wife.

Chu Xianggong was heartbroken and said: "The Wang family has done something rebellious, and the veteran has nothing to say, but the sage wants to use a lowly concubine as the first wife of the middle palace. The veteran dare not obey the imperial edict!"

This speech is really sonorous and powerful, and the righteousness is awe-inspiring!

If Wu Xu was here, she would probably applaud.

If His Majesty Li Er was on top, maybe he would have to praise Chu Xianggong for his character!

But His Majesty Li Xiaojiu is not as tolerant as his father. He almost died of anger after hearing this upside-down words!

If Wu Xu hadn't vaccinated him long ago, and he himself had made some mental preparations, maybe he would have passed away by now!

"Chu Suiliang, you are so bold!" Li Zhi stood up suddenly, strode up to Chu Suiliang, sneered and said, "Who told you that I'm going to call you to discuss the establishment of a new queen?! "

"How can you talk nonsense about my harem?! Who is the queen? There is no one named Wang in my harem anymore!"

Speaking of this, Li Zhi resisted pointing at Chu Suiliang's nose and shouted: "As the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, do you only see my private affairs in the palace?! Where do you put the people of the community, ah?!"

"I don't think you need to be a prime minister anymore, you should go home and retire!"

After finishing speaking, Li Zhi flicked his sleeves and returned to his seat.

At this time, Changsun Wuji persuaded: "Sage calm down, Dengshan is also loyal..."

Yu Zhining also echoed: "The sage calm down, Mr. Chu is also thinking of the sage..."

Chu Suiliang didn't say a word, and put on an appearance that he would rather die than surrender.

Li Zhi got angry when he looked at him, but when he thought it was time to kill him, he could barely suppress his anger, and said in a deep voice, "Forget it, let's talk about business."

When Changsun Wuji saw Li Zhi dormant, he couldn't help feeling suspicious.

There is no major matter in the country now, except for the matter of setting up a queen, he really couldn't guess what important matters His Majesty Li Xiaojiu would have so urgently called them to discuss.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but exchanged glances with Chu Suiliang, and then looked at the old man Yu Zhining who was seated opposite, still with a low eyebrow and a pleasing look...

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu saw the puzzled expressions of Changsun Wuji and others, and said: "Some time ago, the Muzhou women rebelled, thanks to Cui Yixuan, the governor of Wuzhou, and Shi Fangrenyu, the governor of Yangzhou, to defeat the rebellion. The people in the south of the Yangtze River are dying. I heard that these two people have arrived in Chang'an a few days ago, so I don't know how the Zhengshitang will arrange it?"

When Changsun Wuji heard that it was for this matter, he breathed a sigh of relief, and replied, "Don't worry, saint, the Ministry of Rites has already drawn up a reward list..."

"I plan to see Cui Yixuan stay in Liubu, please think about it, Uncle." Li Zhi didn't wait for Changsun Wuji to finish, and interrupted him.

Changsun Wuji heard the words, and immediately scanned Cui Yixuan's information in his mind. This person was born in the Qinghe Cui clan, and he is of the same clan as Cui Dunli, the new Zhongshu Ling who replaced Liu Shi, and he can be regarded as a descendant of a family...

Therefore, the eldest grandson readily agreed to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's request.

"The old minister should talk to the officials about this matter, the saint can rest assured."

Grandson Xianggong only thought that calling in a Cui Yixuan had nothing to do with the overall situation, but he didn't think that that person was actually a traitor of the family, and he would be responsible for the collapse of the Guanyuan Group in the end.

This is something.

However, because His Majesty Li Xiaojiu did not mention the Empress Dowager in the Liangyi Hall, the atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.

Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang are not very good in military affairs, but they are both first-class experts in general affairs.

Muzhou's rebellion was over, and the hero captured the chief villain. The next step is nothing more than rewards and publicity.

"Since I came to the throne, although I have relied on the strength of several ministers, I have also worked hard and dare not relax. Why did rebellion and rebellion happen..." Li Zhi still has a sense of Muzhou's rebellion. Ah, brooding, there is a deep reason for the peasant uprising mentioned in the "Chang'an Daily".

"The local officials don't show compassion to the common people. It's really against my will. I don't know what good solution does Uncle have?"

When Changsun Wuji heard the words, he couldn't help but stroked his beard and remained silent.

The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, with high mountains from the center to the local area and far away from the emperor. It is inevitable that there will be officials like Muzhou who oppress the people. No one can handle this kind of thing for thousands of years. What can he say in a short while?

No, the old master Yu Zhining heard this question from His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, flicked his beard, and said: "My master said: To govern with virtue, it is like Beichen, who lives in its place, and all the stars share it."

"If a sage wants to avoid troubles in Muzhou, he must select officials with outstanding virtues and conduct strict assessments to prevent them from harming the people..."

In fact, Old Master Yu is also a loyal reader of "Chang'an Daily", and sometimes even writes and contributes to "Chang'an Daily", debating with the above-mentioned people with lofty ideals the way of governing the country and education.Today, when His Majesty Li Xiaojiu suddenly mentioned governing the region, the old man couldn't help but put forward his own point of view.

What Li Zhi was waiting for was Yu Zhining's words, so he smiled and said, "This is the old saying of Yu Taifu! A few days ago, I sorted out some detailed rules for selecting scholars through scientific examinations, and I just wanted to show them to the gentlemen. If there is no objection, it will be implemented from this year..." His Majesty Li Xiaojiu said without blushing some of the rules and regulations of the imperial examination that student Xiao Wu had racked his brains to think of, and then asked the palace servants to take the rewards. Come over with a thick stack of regulations, and let the three ministers under the seat circulate them publicly.

All three of them couldn't move their eyes.

"Besides, Ashina Helu's remnants are still there, and I plan to send generals to wipe them out in the next year..." His Majesty Li Xiaojiu suddenly said a word about military mobilization while the three of them were concentrating on reading the report.

All three of them were civil servants with no military knowledge, and the only one, Mr. Li Ji, who was proficient in military affairs, was pretending to be sick and taking care of him at home.

"I wonder who His Majesty would like to lead the army?" Changsun Wuji couldn't help asking.

"I decided to send Cheng Zhijie, the general of the left guard, to be the chief of Congshan Road..." Cheng Zhijie was originally the well-known "devil king of the world" Cheng Yaojin in Wagang Village, and he was active in the Xuanwu Gate. one.His Majesty Li Er has been deeply trusted since he ascended the throne, and has been guarding the capital all year round as the commander of the Imperial Army.When His Majesty Li Er died of illness suddenly, it was Cheng Zhijie who escorted the then Prince Li Zhixian back to Chang'an with 6000 imperial guards.This person can be regarded as the hero of Li Zhi and his son, and he has a very good relationship with Zhangsun Wuji.

Therefore, Li Zhi proposed to send Cheng Zhijie to the expedition, and Changsun Wuji had nothing to say.

When Li Ji, the uncle at home, got the news that Cheng Zhijie was appointed as the chief manager of Congshan Road and was about to go to the Western Turks, he couldn't help but secretly sighed that the methods of today's sages are really clever, so cleverly cut off the only one under Changsun Xianggong. A force to call upon...

It seems that the battle between emperors and phases will not take long to come to a conclusion!

Not to mention that His Majesty Li Xiaojiu took every step to gradually sway Uncle Changsun's power, but that Wu Xu, under the leadership of Cui Neishi, inspected several pottery kilns, and finally found a place that is very suitable for firing glass.

The pottery kiln is not far from a mine, and there are many quartz ore, limestone and feldspar mines on the mountain, which are the main raw materials for making glass.

Soda is missing now...

This thing made Wu Xu a little troubled, saying that she didn't quite remember all the equations of the 'Hou's Alkali Production Method' ==

The author has something to say: With glass you can have glass windows, mirrors, telescopes, etc...

Classmate Xiao Wu is working hard to play the role of her technical nerd...

The only force Uncle Changsun could control was dispatched to Western Turks, and the Prime Minister’s small team was about to be wiped out one by one. =
