Although Zhou Gong is said to be very miraculous, the stories about his spiritual manifestations are also nonsense.
This is not a romance about the gods. Inscribing a pornographic poem in the temple can cause chaos in the world, and wars are everywhere. If that is the case, everyone does not have to do anything, and only needs to serve the good people wholeheartedly.
Aren’t gods and Buddhas finished?
Therefore, Wang Shichong and Yun Ding Xingding, who could praise the beauty of the former queen in front of the Zhougong Temple, were not people who respected gods and Buddhas.
As the saying goes, if something is good at the top, it will be very bad at the bottom.
The emperor's thoughts are unpredictable, he can change his mind faster than turning the page of a book, and he likes flattering words, so you don't need to expect all his ministers to be loyal and upright people.
Everyone knew that going to Jinyang to beg Empress Xiao at this time was a very unreliable and bad idea, but for a while, everything in front of the temple gate fell silent.
The emperor was in such a high mood, obviously because he had coveted the queen's beauty for a long time. To persuade him at this time would probably bring harm to himself, but no one was willing to go out of his way to make the emperor happy like Yun Dingxing. So, the scene became
I felt a little embarrassed.
Chen Guogong Duan Da quietly waved his hand, and the lower-ranking officials immediately dispersed as if they were receiving a general amnesty.
But as the saying goes, no matter when or where, there are still hard bones.
At this time, Guo Heng, the imperial censor, took a step forward, bowed and said: "This matter is inappropriate. Li Ding'an is an old official of the Sui Dynasty..."
Having said this, Guo Heng paused and realized that what he said was a bit inappropriate. Among the people around him, except for Shan Xiongxin and other grassroots bandits, who was not an old official of the Sui Dynasty?
But the words have to go on, "Li Ding'an must have made good friends with the Turks when he returns to the Queen. How can he allow Queen Xiao to return south to Luoyang? If she goes to argue with her, she will definitely turn against her. Please think twice before doing so..."
Many words were not spoken, but the meaning was very clear.
After that, we will fight Dou Jiande. Li Tang is also a sworn enemy, and we are going to offend Li Ding'an from Jin Dynasty. Darling, can you please make me worry less?
And Guo Heng is not a fool. He neither directly denounced the emperor's faults nor said that Li Ding'an was fighting with Li Tang, which was very beneficial to him. He only said that Li Ding'an was on good terms with the Turks...
Well, this is obviously not a person who only cares about his own reputation and tries his best to trouble the emperor. He is a genuine smart man.
The flesh on Wang Shichong's face trembled at first. Anyone who knew his habits knew that this was a sign of the emperor's anger, but then he calmed down and seemed to have listened.
As soon as the word got out, Yang Wang, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Sun Anshi, the Chief of Internal History, Xue Deyin, the Huangmen Minister, etc. immediately followed suit. Yun Dingxing quietly moved his steps, retreated into the crowd, and secretly wiped the hair on his head.
I was sweating coldly, shouting in my heart that I was lucky, but I was also grateful to Guo Heng.
Even though Yun Dingxing was a bit shameless, it was all based on the etiquette that people care about nowadays, and there was nothing else left. In the future, people like him would really not show up.
But he was very kind to his friends. Guo Heng would live a long life in the future because of Yun Dingxing's great efforts.
But at this time, Guo Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little bad. He was very sure when he spoke before. Now that the Turks are strong and everyone is afraid, the supreme leader in front of him is also inevitable. Several princes in the north are now very stable, just because of them
With the Turks at their back, others are afraid of forcing them into a hurry and leading the Turks to go south.
If you use this reason to persuade, you may be able to persuade the Supreme Being to change his mind.
But if others want to follow suit... With the temperament of this Supreme Being, what he hates and fears the most is actually the fact that his subordinates all agree.
Guo Heng couldn't help but cursed a bunch of idiots in his heart. Do they really want to kill Guo Dalang?
Sure enough, when he looked up, Wang Shichong's hawk-like eyes were looking over at him, which immediately made Guo Heng break out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Wang Shichong didn't get angry like usual and let Guo Heng go to the flagpole at the top of the city to take a look at the scenery. Of course, no matter how reasonable what Guo Heng and others said, Wang Shichong would not be satisfied and waved his hand to stop.
Everyone turned around and asked Duan Da, "What do you think, Duan Qing?"
Duan Da did not hesitate, bowed and said with a smile: "Supreme Holy Ming, we can't reach it. If this trip can attract the Queen to return to the south, the day when Li Ding'an will become a minister is not far away. Even if he can't find his place, he should be able to show it."
With good intentions, we can unite with them to attack the Tang Dynasty, and I don’t think Li Ding’an would dare to do anything evil to the Supreme Being…”
"Furthermore, there were envoys from the two families visiting each other that day, but they still agreed that the one who entered Chang'an first would be the king..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Wang Shichong and then at Duan Da. Many smart people already understood that the two of them had probably discussed this matter long ago, and they and others had thought wrong.
But when I thought about it more deeply, there was something wrong, and it was hard to explain clearly.
Therefore, the words "se Ling Zhi Huan" cannot be applied to Wang Shichong, but if you want to say that he has no ideas at all and only focuses on world affairs, it is too flattering to this alien son of the Wang family in Baicheng.
Wang Shichong's statement that he had never met Empress Xiao was just a lie. He thought that when he was guarding the gate in Jiangdu, he had seen Empress Xiao's face from a distance when she was traveling.
say.
At that time, he was just a janitor, so he naturally had no delusions. But now that Wang Shichong has ascended to the throne, he naturally feels that only a beauty like Queen Xiao is worthy of him. So with such an opportunity, naturally
It's time to give it a try.
Furthermore, since he ascended the throne, he has gradually realized that he was too hasty in deposing Emperor Tai. Now if Empress Xiao can really return to Luoyang, it will make up for the mistakes he made at the beginning, not to mention other things.
, can it at least appease the hearts of the descendants of the noble families in Luoyang City?
So, after being able to defeat his great enemy Li Mi and reach this stage, how could Wang Shichong really be so desperate for beauty?
Of course, he did not think highly of Li Po. In his opinion, Li Ding'an and Dou Jiande were similar in that they both came from humble backgrounds. They took advantage of the chaos in the world to separate themselves from one place. If Li Yuan had not dominated Xijing and was eyeing Henan,
Make him deeply afraid.
Otherwise, Li and Dou might have been bound down the stairs by him.
Just as he and Duan Da had discussed, going to Jinyang to beg Empress Xiao was a test move. If it worked, what would happen if he spared Li Ding'an's life in the future? If it didn't work, he would just give up and fight with that bitch later.
It's never too late for a family member to make a fuss.
In fact, no matter how much you say, it is all an excuse. In fact, Li Ding'an, who is at war with Li Tang, is Wang Shichong's natural ally. On the contrary, Li Yuan, who occupies Guanxi, is the public enemy of all heroes.
This is not only determined by Li Yuan's identity and what he did, but also the geographical location of Kansai determines such a situation.
During the Warring States Period, the six kingdoms jointly attacked Qin. In fact, most of them were based on this reason. The 800-mile Qinchuan River was a treasure of a king because of its dangerous mountains and rivers. Once it was occupied, it would attract the attention of the world.
What's more, since Li Yuan took control of Chang'an, he has sent envoys everywhere and his reputation has spread far and wide, which makes people hate him so much.
As expected by everyone, Wang Shichong put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Duan Qing has always known my thoughts... So, who does Duan Qing think can relieve my worries and go to Jinyang as an envoy?"
The two of them were very engaged in their acting, but Anshi, the eldest grandson next to him, felt uneasy. His keen political sense made him feel that he might be in trouble.
As expected, Duan Da just pondered for a moment and then said: "I think that the eldest grandson's inner history is very understanding, has good etiquette and justice, and his talents will not be lost to Su Zhang. If he can go to the north as an envoy, good news will be spread later."
The eldest grandson Anshi cursed in his heart, because envoys are really a high-risk profession these days. He didn't expect Li Tang's envoys to lose their heads casually when they arrived in Luoyang. When they went to Zhu Can's territory, they were killed by the man-eating demon king.
Is it cooked?
He couldn't speak himself, so he just glanced at his colleagues eagerly. Unlike Yun Dingxing, he had more than one person who was willing to speak for him.
In fact, he didn't need anyone to intercede for him at all. Speaking of it, his luck was better than Cen Wenwen. Xiao Mian wanted to send capable ministers away, but Wang Shichong couldn't do without his eldest grandson Anshi.
At this time, Wang Shichong was obviously stunned, and then his eyes wandered around Duan Da suspiciously for a few times. He was probably saying, I acted well, how could you not do what was agreed upon?
This is the reason why he doesn't like Duan Da. Duan Da is too ambitious and wants this person to obey him. Unless Yang Guang is resurrected, no one else can.
Immediately, Wang Shichong smiled and shook his head and said: "The war is about to begin, and the eldest grandson has heavy responsibilities, how can he leave lightly? Yun Aiqing... I will add you, Dr. Yinqing Guanglu, to accompany the King of Qi on an envoy to Jinyang. What do you think?"
"
Duan Da pursed his lips and felt quite regretful. Of course, it was only a little regretful. He was neither afraid of Wang Shichong's anger nor of offending the Changsun family.
It would be best if we could get the little boy from the Changsun family who looked quite unpleasant to him out of Luoyang. Even if he couldn't, he could still weigh the weight of the little boy in the emperor's mind. Why not?
Therefore, Duan Da took the lead and bowed and said: "The Supreme Being is wise and mighty, and I will bow before you."
Everyone followed, and there was no objection. Needless to say, Yun Dingxing had better go out and never come back again. The king of Qi, Wang Shiyun, was Wang Shichong's brother, a tutor, and a minister. He was very talented and was sent as an envoy to Jin.
, but I’m not afraid of ruining something big.
The eldest grandson, Anshi, breathed a sigh of relief and now he hated Duan Da.
Over there, Yun Dingxing was hit with bad luck, but he didn't escape the disaster. It's hard to describe his frustration. At the same time, he also gained a deeper understanding of the dangers here in Dongdu.
In mid-February of this year, Wang Shichong left Sun Anshi, the commander of the internal history, Duan Da, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, and Wang Shiwei, the king of Chu, to stay in Luoyang. He personally led the army from Luoyang to the east, attacked Huazhou, and marched into Liyang.
When Dou Jiande learned the news, Wang Shichong had already led his army to fall into Huazhou and besieged Liyang.
Dou Jiande was so angry that he first sent the powerful general Wang Fubao to attack Xia County. He defeated it in three days and killed Yuan Baobao. Then he ordered Wang Cong to lead his troops to attack Yinzhou. At this time, someone whispered in Dou Jiande's ears that Wang Cong had many people in the east capital.
If you are friendly, you are afraid that you will betray your master and leave...
