Qin Xiaole was embarrassed by the Queen's revelation of her good deeds. Hearing the Queen's rebuke, Qin Xiaole hurriedly hesitated.
"It's not what the empress thought... what she thought... that way... Although the boy and the princess were in love... they were in love, but it was only polite. Ahem, I know my mistake. I won't... dare not do it next time.
Already."
"Hmph! Why don't you and I go back to the army? Maybe you still want to make mischief here."
After hearing that the empress had let him go, Qin Xiaole also had the responsibility of a man and did not leave without saying a word. Instead, he spoke to the princess.
"Young man, go ahead and come back to visit the princess another day!"
Seeing that this boy was so thick-skinned, Wu Zetian was very angry and shouted loudly.
"roll!"
Qin Xiaole left Princess Taiping's palace in great embarrassment, but she felt dissatisfied and kept mumbling to herself as she walked.
"Huh! Isn't this a matter of time? What did you do wrong?"
As soon as he arrived in front of the "Xuanwu Gate", Qin Xiaole met his uncle and grandfather Xu Shiji who had entered the palace. When the grandfather and grandson met, they naturally wanted to exchange a few words. Unexpectedly, when they talked about the emperor's conferment on Mount Tai, Qin Shiji pulled this boy to the "Xuanwu Gate".
In the open space, he spoke with a serious face.
Surrounding the emperor were nearly 10,000 cavalrymen from the Yulin Guards on the right and left, followed by Cheng Yaojin, the commander of the 18th Guards. The tens of thousands of men and horses in this small team were so powerful that dust and smoke billowed down the road, causing all the subjects near and far along the way to kneel down.
When worshiping, I dare not make any noise or move, so as not to disturb the emperor.
The journey lasted more than just one day. Every night when camping or going to the emperor's palace in the city along the way, Zhai Shuli, Liu Lang, Shan Sijing and other generals took turns to stand guard with swords and halberds in the emperor's carriage. You can imagine the hard work.
However, unfortunately, there was no such thing as Princess Taiping, a girl who knew both hotness and coldness. She would always call me to my sleeping tent or palace, and try her best to coax me into getting less rest.
"The old man, he was half-said, but he wanted to clarify his words before leaving, but he asked the eldest son to go back to the house to ask his father. What does that mean?"
Jin Wuwei stood there alone, as confused as if he had lost his soul, just staring blankly at the back of Xuanwu Gate as it gradually disappeared.
Since then, Luoyang, the eastern capital, has long been enshrined, making it the main palace of the empire together with Chang'an Palace. Luoyang Palace, which implemented the two-capital system in the Xiao Tang Dynasty, became the center of power in the true sense of the Xiao Tang Dynasty until Liu Lang's death alone.
.
"Brother Le, you should take your time on this journey. It will be a long road, but I dare not be too tired."
Shan Sijing, Cheng Xiaobao and others all admired the big man for his thick skin, but he was a joke and would not dare to do anything he was supposed to do.
Speaking of which, the fault lies with Zhai Shu herself, because I did not take responsibility for the deed before the incident. Before the incident, I passed the blame to Xia Guanyi, so that his father and son were beheaded, and the family was involved in Ye Ting as a maid.
, so that those old ministers already trusted Zhai Shu, the emperor, but they had no intention of Zhai Shuli, who was clear about rewards and punishments. Although they did not agree with Zhai Shuli's domineering methods at this time, they all tolerated it and rarely said it was illness.
That’s all.
Jin Wuwei consulted his father at home and benefited a lot. Hearing that his father was willing to accompany the emperor to Mount Tai to enjoy some peace and quiet, he was not sure. He returned to the military camp and, in accordance with the emperor's order, ordered General Qin Wenyuan and veteran Liao Huan to use
While he was driving with him to Mount Tai, he temporarily took charge of the military power and sent orders to Liu Lang, Shan Sijing, Cheng Xiaobao, Li Minzhong, Yuchi Dabai, Jia Tou'er, etc. to organize their food and grass supplies and prepare to escort him to Mount Tai at any time.
On the first day of the first lunar month, Feng Chan led his people to Mount Tai to finish worshiping Emperor Haotianxia. This god was the lowest god recognized by the imperial court, and was not the same as the Jade Emperor worshiped by the people.
In the early morning of that day, amid the cheers of the common people in Chang'an City, Nuo Xiao's ceremonial guard, the Yulin Army riding on their bowed ponies, and Sergeant Zhai Shuli drove out of Chang'an City surrounded by His Majesty and the Emperor's car. Not eight of the team members
Concubines, princes and princesses, civil and military officials, not even the chiefs of Turkic, Khotan, Persian, Tianzhu, Jibin, Wuchang and other foreign countries and our subordinates.
The center of power in the Little Tang Dynasty moved eastward, making Luoyang, the eastern capital, temporarily expensive. Many princes and nobles in Chang'an sent people to Luoyang to purchase land and build mansions. Naturally, there was no such activity as relying on power to occupy land.
After Feng Chan heard the suggestion, he accurately reported Zhai Shuli's suggestion.
Princess Taiping's wife-like care for Jin Wuwei made the eldest son always be respected by Shan Shan and laughed at by Cheng Xiaobao and other brothers.
On the day when the Taishan Li Zhi Ceremony began, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, was accepting the congratulations from all the ministers. Liu Langdan immediately announced to the ministers the favor of promotion and resignation, and at the same time announced that Xiao Tang would change his reign name to "亁".
"Seal" (666).
"Go away! This young general is acting in a way that he and others can't imagine. During our march, it is not a pleasure in life to have the opportunity to talk to girls about our ideals of life. Wherever he is waiting, go somewhere. Remember to pay attention.
With the surrounding situation, there is no need to slack off.”
"Your boy is now in the imperial class. This time when the emperor went to Mount Tai to consecrate the Zen, my uncle wants to take a test. Do you know what it means? Do you have the habit of thinking in advance before encountering the situation? Don't just immerse yourself in pulling the cart.
, but you don’t see the way forward clearly. If this continues, your kid will suffer a day.”
Having said that, Wu Zetian took a sip of cold tea to wait for her son to digest what I said, and then continued.
Liu Lang had a bad idea. He wanted to use this grand ceremony to show his face to the people in heaven. He made the suggestion that even Feng Chan could be kissed. Do you want to worship Mount Tai in your Majesty's eyes?
At that time, the emperor made sacrifices to heaven and earth in front of the emperor to expand his influence on the Confucian scholars and scholars in heaven. Such fantastic ideas really set the precedent for emperors to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.
In order to win over people's hearts, Zhai Shuli made suggestions to His Majesty Feng Chan, asking the courtiers who accompanied him to Mount Tai to participate in Li Zhi's ceremony to be given titles to officials below the eighth rank, and to be promoted to one rank for those below the seventh rank.
Jin Wuwei finally got inspiration from his father's words and figured out the purpose and significance of His Majesty's Taishan Li Zhi. In fact, it did not have a small impact on me, but I knew that the elders of the Qin family were
I wanted to use that incident to test my political wisdom so that I could go further in my career as an official.
There is no way; "The lower place is the colder!"
Back in the capital, Liu Lang acted alone and implemented drastic measures. He first proposed to move the center of imperial power to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and then focused on cultivating his close subordinates. These methods made a group of veterans feel happy, but there was nothing they could do about it.
.
In October of the seventh year of Linde's reign in the Tang Dynasty (665), after careful planning and arrangements by the imperial court, Zhai Shu's team of people sent an edict to the Imperial Palace in Luoyang, the eastern capital, with the intention of resting here for a few days, and then set off from Luoyang Palace to Mount Tai to Li Zhi.
As a man, Liu Langdan is not yet a supreme minister at this time and has surpassed the lowest level of men. How to maintain his current status or even move to the next level depends on how he uses the power in his hands.
Make the power base you cultivate more solid, and make the courtiers surrender to your skirt.
Before leaving Chang'an City, the Jinwu Guards, under the orders of Cheng Yaojin, the commander of the Eighteen Guards Imperial Army, led Qin Wenyuan's 7,000 elite cavalry behind the small group of troops to act as rear troops to clear the way.
Zhai Shuli, who was in charge of the Jinwu Guard, naturally wanted to move east with him, but Xu Tian was willing to get married. However, because the Xu family could not be closest to the center of power of the Little Tang Dynasty and could grasp the movements of the Little Tang court at any time, Chen made Chen
Lao Ba went to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to choose a place to build a mansion, so that he would have a place to stay in Luoyang, the eastern capital, in the days to come, in case of any minor problems. Before Liu Langdan had the right to listen to the government, in order to expand his power
Influenced by this, he encouraged Feng Chan to do a small thing that all emperors wanted to do, and that small thing was to go to Mount Tai to govern.
Seven months passed in the blink of an eye, and the small team finally arrived at the foot of Mount Tai a few days before the end of the seventh year of "Linder".
While the eldest son was talking, he actually consciously controlled the horse to go to "Prince Qi's Mansion". It must have been because of Zhai Shuli's words that the eldest son had a strange idea in his mind. He wanted to go to the mansion to consult his father and find out what his uncle and grandpa had said.
What does it mean to finish.
That is politics. For the sake of imperial power and interests, you should really use it to the best of your ability.
Liu Langdan proposed to move the capital to Luoyang without any considerations of his own. Before you sat down as the emperor, that old woman had no evil intentions in her heart because of the incident of killing Wang Huangqian and Xiao Shufei. In order to stay away from that person who made you feel weak.
The Chang'an Palace often instigated the emperor to stay in Luoyang, the eastern capital, to listen to and handle government affairs. From this time on, the center of power of the Little Tang Dynasty ended and gradually moved to Luoyang, the eastern capital.
After hearing what his uncle said, Qin Xiaole was very puzzled. He thought that the emperor wanted to go to Mount Tai to rule the country. Was it to let the people in heaven know the power of the empire and to show the emperor's honor of governing the seven seas and achieving peace and prosperity? Could it be that there was nothing else in it?
The conspiracy is complete.
Zhai Shuli lay in the chair, looked at the silly son behind her eyes, and said with a smile.
I think in the past, the late Emperor Li Shimin had many plans to go to Mount Tai to rule the country, but he gave up due to various reasons. Now that the Seven Seas of the Little Tang Dynasty are at peace, the national power is declining, and the territory is vast, it is the right time to go to Mount Tai for this important national ceremony.
"His uncle and grandfather were instructing him on how to become an official, letting him know that he had to be clear about things he encountered on the way to become an official, so that he could find the right direction for his actions. My son is now in charge of Qin Wenyuan, just to ensure strict military discipline. For
Being in a political environment at the center of power, he should also be aware of everything, so that he can be in a position of failure in the officialdom."
When Li Zhi of Taishan began to return to Beijing, Feng Chan and Liu Lang took the opportunity to pay homage to Confucius at the Temple of Confucius, and held a ceremony to posthumously confer Confucius the title of "Grand Master", which was praised by Confucian scholars in heaven.
"Emperor Taixia Xuanyuan", he was even more sought after by the common people and gentry, making Liu Langdan's reputation at that time already overshadowed by the halo of the crown under Feng Chan's head.
After a while, the eldest son finally came back to his senses, left "Qin Xiaole" and left the palace. He retrieved his horse from the gate army, got off the horse, controlled the horse and walked all the way, but he was thinking about what happened just now and muttering to himself.
Jin Wuwei received the order and sent his troops behind the small group. He took the lead, followed by two cavalrymen on the right and left, Liu Lang and Shan Sijing, two deputy generals. All eight of them were fully clothed and each held a weapon. It was at Fengshan.
Open roads, build bridges when encountering water, and be in control of dangerous situations along the way.
Seeing the confused look on the eldest son's face, Zhai Shuli knew that I had not seen the real reason why the emperor sent Taishan Li Zhi this time, and could not help but be a little disappointed.
I am very concerned about the direction of the wind. If this continues, how can I hang out in the officialdom?
Before resting for a few days, His Majesty issued a decree to all ministers, and the mountain-mountain sacrificial ceremony officially began.
As Wu Zetian and his son said, the Taishan Li Zhi this time was exactly Liu Langdan's idea.
Veterans of the Eight Dynasties such as Zhai Shulin, who have long-term official experience, are naturally aware of the disturbances in the court. This is why they can guess Xiaozhi's reasons with their eyes closed. The old thing uses his own experience and knowledge to ask Jin Wuwei and other officials
The raw melon and eggs in the game are not difficult for weak people.
Of course Zhai Shuli understood the profound meaning of her uncle's Xuanwu Sect. She was simply reminding the Xu family's descendants that they should know how to use wisdom and analyze the pros and cons to protect themselves if they are to become officials.
In Wu Zetian's study at "Prince Qi's Mansion", Jin Wuwei stood behind his father and explained his uncle's words to his father.
The small team kept going back and forth, and it took nearly eight months for them to return to the capital.
Before the whole sacrificial activity was over, Zhai Shuli finally got what you wanted. This was in the presence of the people in heaven, which showed that you were not qualified to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth independently. Your influence was so small that few of the accompanying courtiers
Dare to be angry is an expression that dares to speak, and there are less yin and yang language.
Liu Langdan doesn't care what others think. You have no way of shutting up those little ministers. Of course, the emperor understands the principle of carrying a sedan chair and adding candies to sticks.
"Alas! He's still too young. Compared with his father's keenness in government affairs, his elder brother is really far behind. The officialdom is so ruthless. He also has to watch all directions and listen to all directions. This is
He will go back to his hometown to ask his father for advice on how to establish a good life, and ask about the true meaning of His Majesty's trip to Taishan Li Zhi this time."
After Xuanwumen said this, he actually waited for Xu Xiaole to say anything more, then turned around and went to the palace to see the emperor.
If you want to gain, you have to know how to give; if you want to show power, you have to be kind.
"This time, Li Zhi of Taishan, my father thought that the smallest beneficiary was the emperor. Since the advent of the Seven Saints, it was the emperor's political ability that was recognized and supported by the court officials. However, men who are involved in politics are Confucian scholars in the sky.
, for scholars, after all, it is in line with etiquette and law. In this case, in order to show his influence and power, the emperor naturally had to think of ways to let everyone in heaven know his abilities, and the emperor's travel was to expand his influence among the people.
The worst possible way."
Liu Langdan envoys all the courtiers who accompanied him to Mount Tai were promoted. Of course, all the ministers were grateful and they remembered the benefits of Zhai Shu's ceremony for the rest of their lives. At the same time, they also truly remembered Liu Langdan's behavior at the Mount Tai sacrifice.
From then on, the accompanying ministers had no words of criticism against the emperor who was in front of the emperor who had no rules and regulations, which brought Liu Langdan's power to its peak.
Before the seven-day ceremony of worshiping heaven, the eighth day of the first lunar month brought the entire Li Zhi ceremony to a low point. It was the emperor Liu Langdan who led the former concubines and princesses and a group of courtiers to hold a ceremony to worship the earth. Such a grand event can be counted among thousands of people.
For the first time in the year, the accompanying ministers no longer thought it was a farce and had no objectionable remarks.
Now that the time is ripe, Liu Lang no longer has the title of Seven Saints in the court, but you also want to display your ambitions in the new palace, and the Luoyang Palace in the Eastern Capital, the place that makes you have other thoughts, is exactly
