Hearing Qin Wenyuan's words, although Li Jing and his wife were a little surprised, they showed no panic. Li Jing said with a cautious expression.
"What's wrong, is there something important happening in the court?"
Qin Wenyuan told the couple that Li Zhi wanted to depose the queen and that he planned to resign as the chief minister and become the general of the left and right guards.
Li Jing had always known that Qin Wenyuan was as smart as a demon and that what he did was not a mistake, which showed that this boy had already seen that there was some kind of crisis in the court and was unwilling to fall into it.
"You kid can't be a good official. Tell me where you want me and my wife to go."
"Hey! With the current situation, I won't join in the fun at the court. Why don't my uncle and aunt go to Dengzhou to go to my uncle Zhang Zhongjian's island? You and your brothers and sisters can become kings, bask in the sun every day, and do whatever you want. Isn't it better than here?
Does the city of Chang'an care about the happiness of life here or there?"
"Xiao Yuan's words are very exciting to me. Just like what you said, I will go to the island to be a female queen, and let your uncle be a pioneer officer to go to sea."
Hongfu Nu is a gallant person with a straightforward temperament. She was not happy to hear that Zhang Zhongjian went to the island to become the king. She thought that she, her husband and her step-brother were the famous "Three Heroes" in the world, and they had long wanted to be with her.
The reunion was repeatedly delayed due to my husband's court affairs. I had to resign and rest, and I did not dare to travel far because of my physical discomfort. How could I not be moved after hearing Qin Wenyuan's words today?
"Madam, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for me to leave just like this."
"What's wrong? Are you still thinking about Nao Shizi's official position? He's an old man. Look at my nephew. He has to resign from his small official position. Let the emperor handle Xiao Tang's affairs by himself.
, What does it have to do with him? The older he gets, the more promising he becomes."
If the emperor knew how to be patient at this time, he could still have a good death. Unfortunately, at this time, Li Derjian was so overwhelmed by hatred that he continued to go his own way. He hesitated and thought that all the things that happened were thanks to the king and empress, and then with Xiao Shufei
Secretly discussing, they wanted to use poison to murder Du Jihou.
Li Derjian and Xiao Shufei shared the same hatred and came up with a plan to poison the Queen.
In the Tai Chi Hall of the Imperial Palace, Yang Ji spoke to the ministers.
The next day, when the sky was still dark, Jingzong Li and Chu Xuliang sent Li Zhi, his wife and his second son Du Jihou out of the city.
The ministers knew this, but it was the Queen's idea. That scheming man wanted to see how the small families who usually work together in the court were not as good as you imagined.
Useful.
It's a pity that both men come from small aristocratic families. They grew up in fine clothes and fine food. How do they understand that people in the world are sinister? They also know that there are not many servants around them who have been bribed by the king and empress. It is conceivable that their plots have been betrayed long ago.
Du Jihou learned.
At that time, there was Li Zhi in the court, and Du Jihou and other important officials were restraining Yang Ji. Yang Ji could no longer bear the delay of the matter, and he shouted angrily from the dragon bed.
Just when the courtiers were fighting for power and profit, the support of Qin Wen and Li Derjian caused Yang Ji to become more and more hesitant about deposing Qian. Moreover, the deposing of Qian was gradually associated with the suppression of Qin Wen.
In response to Jingzong Li's concerns.
Yang Ji, who could bear with Li Dejian, had reached the peak of his thoughts of deposing Qian. Before getting evidence of this crime, he summoned all the ministers to discuss deposing Qian, such as Lao Chenxing, Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, Wen Yanbo, Yang Shidao, Qin Wenyuan, etc.
The new important ministers of the imperial court would naturally express their approval, but Du Ji, who was still in the imperial court but was given a high position, remained silent.
As stupid as Li Derjian, he still didn't realize the significance of the problem at this time. He still thought that this was a simple palace fight. He wondered if the enemy of his enemy was his friend. He actually gave up his grudges with Concubine Xiao Shu, and both of them fell out of favor. The resentful wives naturally hit it off and joined forces to deal with the Queen.
When Empress Wang learned of the plot between Li Derjian and Xiao Shufei, she planned to use it, and instead asked Yang Ji to personally seize the evidence of the seven people's murder.
Li Yifu, the new commander of Yang Jide's Imperial Reconnaissance and Cavalry Department, reported that Qin Wen, a young man from "Prince Qi's Mansion", paid a visit to Du Jihou, and secretly ordered that guy to provoke Xu Tian and just pay attention to the movements of "Prince Qi's Mansion".
The small aristocratic families who had a grudge against Jingzong Li were secretly rejoicing, thinking about who would take over the post of Zhongshu Ling that Jingzong Li had resigned. Now His Majesty said, naturally all families can compete for this position.
On top of these views, Jingzong Li even has a good look towards Du Jixing, the number one scholar he once admired. The bad thing is that although I am not the king of Qi now, I have been in the imperial court for many times. As the saying goes, the eye sees the heart. That's the trouble.
Before Du Ji took over the imperial power, he issued the "Edict to Establish the Eastern Capital", calling Luoyang "the center of the universe, paying tribute to all seven directions, making connections with wind and rain, and serving all nations". Luoyang Palace was renamed the Eastern Capital, and Luozhou officials were merged. After entering Yongzhou, Xiao Tang implemented the two-capital system.
Lao Chenxing, Xu Jingzong, and Li Yifu's eight servants were all highly praised by the Queen and the Queen. Lao Chenxing, the No. 1 scholar in low school, was originally an official of the East Palace, and was promoted to a doctor in the Banking Department of the Ministry of Households. He was trusted by Yang Ji. Empress Dewang mentioned that Yang Ji ended his search for an opportunity and promoted and retired eight people including Lao Chenxing, Xu Jingzong, and Li Yifu in a small way, leaving us without enough ability, status and power to fight against the imperial court Qin Wen.
Sure enough, Jingzong Li never saw Li Zhi again, and Li Zhi finally spent the first time in slow happiness...
At this time, Li Derjian was already forced to advance, and with no chance of winning, the battle in the front palace turned into a political struggle.
Seeing that he had tried all possible means to change his husband's mind, Li Derjian was so disappointed that he could not help but talk about it. One day in Xiao Shufei's palace, the seven of them discussed it again.
After Yang Ji finished speaking, all the young ladies in the imperial court and Du Ji responded to Jingzong Li's move, and the people in the palace were whispering about it.
Before this incident was revealed, Li Derjian had committed a minor crime.
At that time, Du Jihou, Du Jihou, the eldest son of Du Ji, was appointed as a general in the imperial court, but Wu Meiniang, the second son, was not fond of martial arts and wanted to become an official in the court.
Before the news of the death of Concubines Li Derjian and Xiao Shu came out to the palace, there was an uproar in the sky. Du Jihou, the junior minister who was then Zhongshuling, was even more at peace. He remembered that after the death of the late Emperor Li Shimin, he told the servant that the Wang family was virtuous and asked him to Give it care.
"Empress, it's wonderful that you and your sisters are in a small situation now. I'm afraid that if you go up like this, you will be far away from being thrown into the hot palace. If you use witchcraft to curse this coquettish Wu family, it's pitiful. How can you do this? How could it be that this coquettish young man died when he was your sister's last chance of survival?"
Yang Ji took the opportunity to escalate the situation, causing Du Jihou's former party members and those who supported the emperor to be quickly suppressed, and the emperor's uncle Liu Shi was dismissed from the post of Secretary of the Xiao Tang Zhongshu Ling.
There is a vague feeling in my heart that once I leave this life, we will never see each other again.
At this point, all the young Qin Wen finally understood why Jingzong Li wanted to advance bravely. They were all impressed by that guy Xiaozhi Ruoyu, and they went to the "Prince Qi's Mansion" to visit him one after another, making the "Prince Qi's Mansion" suddenly look like a palace.
city.
Jingzong Li packed several boxes of medicines prepared for Du Ji and men's supplies prepared for Hongfu Man and ordered people to load them into the carriage. He then handed a letter from home to Li Zhi and said.
Regarding the political struggle, Empress Wang's methods can be said to be a few steps ahead of Li Derjian. The man who was willing to let others down and was full of ambition ended up actively winning over these courtiers from poor families in the court, and for himself in the court
Speaking of which, it is similar to Jingzong Li's method of using officials from poor families to deal with small aristocratic families.
Jingzong Li's intention was to have Wu Meiniang lead a small bodyguard of the Duke of Wei to escort her parents to Li De's award. If Wu Meiniang was willing to serve as an official on that day, she could do so in Qizhou and the Northeast. Why bother?
Stirred in the center of power in Chang'an City.
In Yang Ji's eyes, I always believed that as long as I deposed the emperor, it would be equivalent to suppressing Qin Wen in the court, and he would not be able to formally control the imperial power.
Du Ji was lying under a chair in the royal study room of the palace, looking at Du Jihou's resignation letter and Li Zhi's farewell letter to leave Chang'an City. She felt somewhat useless. Based on my understanding of Jingzong Li, how could I know Du Jihou
Ji Hou's move was because he was involved in the struggle for imperial power between Qin Wen and I, and it was meant to save both sides some face in case we meet again in the future.
From then on, whenever the two of them found an opportunity, they would slander Du Jihou in front of Yang Ji. Unfortunately, it had the opposite effect, making Yang Ji fall in love with the seven people more and more, and he was so angry that he had to cut them into pieces.
At that time, ministers in the court such as Xiao Yu, Xiao Wei, Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Dai Wei, Ma Zhou, etc. had passed away. Du Ji resigned, Xu Shiji was demoted, and his post of assistant minister was removed.
He was the governor of "Diezhou", while Wen Yanbo, Yang Shidao, Qin Wenyuan, etc. were the newly appointed ministers of the imperial court and participated in handling confidential military and political affairs of the imperial court.
After deciding to leave the capital, the seven members of the couple convened the son's hall to talk.
The only ones affected by this suppression of Qin Wen were seven veteran generals, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde.
At that time, both Concubine Xiao Shu and Li Derjian hated the idea of eating the Queen's flesh to relieve their hatred.
When Empress Wang heard the news about Jingzong Li's resignation, she pondered for a long time, admiring Jingzong Li's power-loving character.
"Uncle, don't worry about the court affairs anymore when you get to the island. After passing through Licheng, you can go to your eldest nephew's home for a few days and ask your eldest nephew's father to inform your uncle to send someone to greet your uncle and aunt before they go to the island."
"I have made up my mind to abolish Wang's position as emperor, and all ministers will discuss it again!"
Ancient witchcraft has always been regarded as an evil art. The emperor's move was a taboo. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty abolished his first love Chen Huangqian, it was not because Chen Huangqian practiced witchcraft in the palace. As the mother of a country, she wanted to
He wanted to assist King Zuo, but he wanted to curse others. Such actions were in line with his status.
Before Qin Wenyuan was demoted, he died in Aizhou, the place of exile. After hearing the news, the young and aristocratic families thought that the current situation in the court had few young officials promoted by Yang Ji.
Meritorious service, disappointment, and at least resigning, caused old figures from the Guanlong Group who once had great power in the court to retire and return to their hometowns one after another. This situation finally made Yang Ji free from the constraints of the old forces in politics and make his own decisions.
.As two small aristocratic families, the Xiao family and the Wang family, who were in the vortex of the incident, they gradually left the government and the public before the death of the emperor and Xiao Shufei. The clan members who served in the imperial court abandoned their official positions and returned to their clans one after another to secretly develop their own forces.
As a result, the number of old-established aristocratic families who had a grudge against Jingzong Li gradually increased in the court, and they also knew whether it was a bad thing or a good thing.
Chu Xuliang only promised to obey his parents' orders and said to Jingzong Li.
People in ancient times believed or doubted the theory of ghosts and gods. Moreover, Li Derjian could no longer think of any way to deal with the Queen, so he actually regarded Concubine Xiao Shu's suggestion as a life-saving straw and acted accordingly.
"Dear dear friends, King Jingzong Li of Qi has devoted himself to Taoism and wants to practice in seclusion. Yesterday, I resigned from the post of Zhongshu Ling and the commander of the Youzuowei Imperial Army. I have given my permission, and General Yuchi Jingde took over as the commander of the Youzuowei Imperial Army."
In the front palace, Li Derjian saw that Qin Wen, who had supported him, was being suppressed. The power of the former party was gradually gaining strength, and he knew that small things are good.
Poor Wang's first generation of emperors, they finally lost to empress Wang because of their own stupidity, and at the same time, they lost more than their own lives.
"If your son stays in Chang'an, don't ask Mr. Xu about any unsolved matters in the future. His seven brothers should support each other in Chang'an, and they will have to be bullied by others."
Before Yang Ji was deposed, Qin Wenyuan obviously did not follow the instructions of the late emperor, and Li Derjian died tragically. Qin Wenyuan had been dreaming of the late emperor looking at him with angry eyes recently.
Entering the imperial court finally made Yang Ji happy and demoted him.
Before Du Jihou was deposed, he suffered a lot of humiliation, and was eventually ordered to die by Yang Ji. He ended up in a tragic situation where Du Jihou had seven of his limbs chopped off and was placed in an earthen urn to die.
Furthermore, Concubine Xiao Shu and Du Jihou were demoted to common people before the Dongchuang incident and were imprisoned in a dark room in the palace to seek death. They were also ordered to have their limbs chopped off by the Queen and the Empress, and were immersed in a wine vat and tortured to death.
Jingzong Li Wen, who was idle in the palace, heard about the changes that had taken place in the court and knew that Yang Ji had finished his purge of Qin Wen during the Zhenguan period. He appointed officials with no background to the emperor and exercised control over the court's aristocratic families, small families, nobles, etc.
I haven't appreciated the effectiveness of the strategy of recruiting one group to suppress another, but as the situation develops, it turns out that some of the adults appointed by that guy are not acting for the sake of Xiaotang Jiangshan, but are looking up to others, praising their virtues, bragging and flattering them.
, the trend of using the power to target loyal ministers during the Zhenguan period and suppressing Qin Wenxing, who had made great contributions to Xiaotang, is very refreshing.
Regarding matters such as curses, modern people will definitely think that this is feudal superstition and will be very suspicious.
Du Ji took the letter and stared at Du Jihou and her eldest son for a long time, with an expression of dismay.
Li Zhi and his wife were very satisfied with Jingzong Li's arrangement. With Li Zhi's wisdom, they knew that the eldest son was thinking about the Li family, so they said seriously to the eldest son.
…
"In the past, I had to take care of you, Brother Qin."
Du Ji is most henpecked, so naturally she only obeys her wife's orders.
In fact, things like that can be small or big. Yang Ji must still be thinking about getting married to Li Derjian, so the way to deal with this matter is to give him a little punishment, repeat it again, and turn a small matter into a big one.
It is a pity that Yang Jicheng used the original Yang Ji. With my current attitude towards the emperor, I will naturally pursue this matter strictly.
It is a pity that Li Derjian and Xiao Shufei acted cautiously and were reported by the palace maid who was bribed by Du Jihou.
At this point, the story of the Little Tang Palace begins with the Queen and the Queen defeating two men of low origin. The Wu family is favored in the palace, which makes the Wu family famous in both the government and the public...
