[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 21 Second St. 03

Xu Jingzong's sycophant can also listen to it. Isn't Xiao Jiunai stupid?

Just as Wu Xu was about to speak, Li Xiaojiu seemed to know what she was going to say, and said with a smile: "Although Xu Jingzong likes to flatter, he is a good hand in the history of literature and classics, and he is quick-witted..." After all, Xu Jingzong Jingzong is more than enough to be an imperial jester, and this guy also has real skills.

"Besides, my Tang Dynasty is now rich and the people are strong. We have wiped out the barbarians and surrendered everywhere. We should enshrine Zen and proclaim it to the world..." His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's face showed pride when he said this.

"Finally, I have lived up to the expectations of my ancestors, stick to the country, expand the territory..."

Wu Xu couldn't help being moved when he heard the words, she held the young man's hand and said, "You are fine, I know it!"

Li Zhi held Wu Xu's hand tightly, and replied, "It's all because of you..."

So, he can persevere...

The atmosphere between the emperor and empress was really good, the attendants exchanged glances with each other, and quickly retreated out.

Crab overnight.

The next day, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu left Baifu Hall with a happy face. When he went to the court, he didn't even feel so obtrusive when he saw Mr. Li sitting at the head of the civil servants.

Everyone at the court meeting felt terrified this day. In fact, it's okay for the monarch to be a little sluggish or cold. The most fearful thing is that His Majesty the Emperor is moody!

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu is considered a gentle monarch, but he is so unabashedly silly like today, it is really hard to look directly...

Therefore, the matters discussed next were passed without much effort.

New palace?

no problem!

It is said that at least half of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty expressed dissatisfaction with the dilapidated and crude Taiji Palace, especially those generals who came back from the expedition to the peninsula. In a big country, the largest palace in the palace is not as big as the bedroom of King Goguryeo, I feel quite ashamed. =

As for the civil servants, half of those who can show their faces in front of His Majesty Li Xiaojiu are newly promoted youths during the Xianqing period. These young people are no less determined to improve the image of the empire than those old officials. Naturally, they have long wanted to suggest the construction of a A magnificent palace that can reflect the mighty and majestic features of the empire...

Therefore, in Wu Xu's view, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's idea of ​​"building a house for the benefit of his family" is purely a waste of money and will be criticized, but he was not resisted by the courtiers at all, but strongly supported.

As for His Majesty Li Xiaojiu changing the titles of "sage" and "lady" to "emperor" and "empress", that's no problem.

The Tang Dynasty is a majestic celestial dynasty. If the supreme leader is not called the "emperor" or "the queen of heaven", what is the name?

Even if someone complained about the fact that the title of empress no longer belongs to the emperor, but to "heaven", it was quickly lost in the sound of the ministers praising His Majesty Li Xiaojiu as "wise and powerful"...

After the two important matters were passed, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's mood became better and better, so he asked desperately, "What else do you have to report?"

Well, in fact, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu wanted someone to jump out and ask him to enshrine Zen, but someone's movements were a bit slower, and Mr. Li jumped out first...

Xu Jingzong had no choice but to take back the leg he had already stepped on. To be honest, he was inexplicably terrified of Li Yifu, a junior who came from behind.

Mr. Li's expression today is rare and dignified, and he mentioned the former assistant minister Chu Suiliang and Liu Jie who was framed by Chu Suiliang and forced to commit suicide...

"...The minister was humble and condescending back then, and was powerless to apologise for his kindness..." When Li Sanlang talked about this matter, the look on his face was sad and angry, which made people feel pity.

Li Zhi couldn't help but recall that when he was in the East Palace, his favorites were Cen Wenwen, Ma Zhou, and Liu Ji. Among them, Liu Ji, who was bright in nature and capable of both civil and military skills, was once the envy of His Royal Highness Li Xiaojiu.

The death of Liu Jie has always been a big stain on His Majesty Li Er's ruling in his later years, and it is also a knot in Li Zhi's heart.

For this matter, Li Sanlang fell out with Ma Zhou, and Ma Zhou never got Li Sanlang's forgiveness until his death.

As for Li Sanlang himself, he has been a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for almost ten years...

And the person who caused all this was Chu Suiliang.

If you want to say why Li Zhi hates Chu Suiliang so much, besides his bad temper, it is the incident where he took the lead in framing Liu Ji...

Because of this, in the process of establishing Wu Xu as queen, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu and Li Sanlang were able to clear up their previous suspicions, and joined forces to throw Chu Suiliang out of the center first, and then kill the other veterans except Uncle Changsun one by one...

Now that the political situation in the DPRK and China has been settled, and several foreign wars have achieved excellent results, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu is inevitably a little complacent, and Comrade Li Sanlang, who is the Prime Minister, has not forgotten his original purpose of letting go of his arrogance and joining the imperial party !

"Nowadays the world is at peace, and the sage is wise and enlightened, and the unjust prison should not happen. Please thoroughly investigate the case of Liu Ji's disobedience!"

Mr. Li's words were tossed loudly, and all the people present changed their colors in horror.

This case of Liu Jie's rebellion was decided by the first emperor himself. Now that the case is to be overturned, doesn't it mean that the first emperor made a wrong judgment?

There was no sound in the hall for a while, the joyful atmosphere disappeared, and there was a strange embarrassment in the silence.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu didn't know what to say for a while.

Of course he wanted to overturn the case for Liu Jie, but it really was his father's hands to talk about it. Even if Chu Suiliang really framed Zhongliang and wanted to overturn the late emperor's case, as his son, he would probably be called unfilial, right?

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's hesitation was seen by Li Sanlang, and he couldn't help showing a contemptuous look.

This provocative look seriously irritated the young emperor.

"This matter is of great importance. I think it is necessary to investigate in detail before proceeding..." Although the blood vessels on his forehead were about to burst, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu suppressed his anger and calmly stated that he accepted Mr. Li's case.

The ministers didn't dare to say much on their faces, and they were probably overwhelmed in their hearts.

"Then... I look forward to the sage's return of Enxiang's innocence..." Xiao Li Xianggong gave a big gift to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, and the muffled sound of his smooth forehead hitting the floor heavily made everyone present couldn't help but trembling...

Wu Xu soon heard that Li Sanlang made a request to avenge Liu Jie's grievance at the court meeting today, and couldn't help sighing softly: "He is a person who values ​​affection..."

Wu Xu has met Liu Ji a few times. To be honest, he really doesn't look like a man in official circles, but a hero who fights for justice. That kind of hearty and straightforward temperament, in the changing situation in the last years of Zhenguan, It's a miracle to be alive and kicking for so long...

When it came to the matter of Liu Jie, Wu Xu was not interested in reading the information of Wa Kingdom for a while.

Ever since Chu Suiliang was thrown out of the Central Committee and Uncle Changsun passed away unexpectedly, the ministers in the court have become more honest, and no one dared to quarrel with Li Xiaojiu anymore.

The only variable is Li Sanlang, who was the first to join the imperial party...

Wu Xu was also someone who experienced the troubles of Yi Chu during the Zhenguan period. Of course, she could see that this Li Sanlang had no intention of surrendering to Li Xiaojiu at all. Before that, he suddenly stepped forward to fight against Uncle Changsun's clique, regardless of his own life. She also wanted to propel her to the position of empress. She only said that it was because Changsun Wuji had used too much force to clean up Chengqian and Li Tai's remnants of party members, so that Li Sanlang had to go out to protect himself...

Thinking about it now, it was too coincidental!

If it is said that Li Sanlang does not want to be famous, it is of course impossible, but his purpose of striving to climb up is worth deliberating...

In the past, Wu Xu always thought that Li Sanlang wanted to learn from Ma Zhou and set an example for poor scholars all over the world. Now it seems that this is just a very small purpose of his. It turns out that his greatest wish is to show Liu Ji the snow...

After figuring this out, Wu Xu couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder this kid had such a good trial when he was in Dali Temple, and even now the officials in charge of prisons sweat coldly when they hear the name of Mr. Li!

I see……

Wu Xu really wanted to help Li Sanlang, but thinking about Liu Jie's case itself, it was muddled, so it's useless to have a retrial now?

Apparently His Majesty Li Xiaojiu thought the same way. He originally wanted to settle with a handful of mud, but Li Sanlang's needle-like gaze made him restless again.

In the end, Le Yanwei from Menxia Province braved the pressure of being retaliated by Mr. Li, and wrote a letter stating that "the son will not speak of his father's fault. Even if the late emperor made a mistake, the sage can no longer turn over the old case." He finally resolved the siege for His Majesty Li Xiaojiu. ...

In order to divert the anger of the capable generals, Wu Xu suggested that Li Xiaojiu send Li Sanlang to inspect the affairs of various provinces, states, and governments—this is a big job, and it cannot be filled by the emperor's cronies.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu threw out such an evil spirit in vain, and the officials of all the prefectures and roads in the country were terrified: Mom!This Mr. Li Mao is not easy to deal with, don't look at him smiling so beautifully, he can stab you to death with a knife if you turn your head!

The news that followed made the royal relatives who were not afraid of Mr. Li also withered.

Nima, why did Zhou Guogong send Li Sanlang as his guard? !

Is the queen's wife's nephew so worthless? !

Not to mention the big bosses in the locality are in a mess, but His Majesty Li Xiaojiu is in a great mood because there is an unpleasant guy missing from the court.

What made him even more happy was that the matter of enshrining Zen was also put on the agenda. According to the calculation and arrangement of the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian, the day of visiting Mount Tai was initially scheduled for the next winter.

After canonizing his youngest son as King of Zhou, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu ordered the establishment of four companion capitals in the southeast and northwest, and encircled a large area of ​​land around Luoyang as Luozhou. Saburo attacked.

After finishing a bunch of political affairs, it's time to go to Luoyang to soak in the hot springs again. Because this year's trip to the hot spring palace is missing Mr. Li's company, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu is looking forward to it.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes. Just when everyone was happily packing their bags and preparing to set off for Dongdu, the latest news from the Wa Kingdom suddenly came from the peninsula: He appointed his own son, Prince Dayou, as the first Minister of the Taizheng, in charge of the affairs of the whole country, and completely emptied the military power of his younger brother, Prince Hairen.

This move by the new emperor of the Wa Kingdom is tantamount to forcing the prince from Hairen to the cliff...
