The spring of Yifeng's third year came in a new atmosphere.
After reading that article, a brand new situation was before us. Li Xian was gone and Li Xian was back, but Empress Wu felt that her situation was only slightly better.
The stumbling block to moving forward has never been just an overly independent and popular prince, but also the group of prime ministers!
The change of position in the East Palace occurred suddenly and was extinguished so quickly that the prime ministers were not given any time to dig deeper into the incident of Li Xian's sudden death. But obviously, this incident made the prime ministers more united, and they were more concerned about themselves
This diva is very guarded.
Coupled with the sage's alienation and the Zhenguo's indifference, everything seems to be a little different from what you want!
But it doesn’t matter, come one by one!
Starting from the Zhenguo, Empress Wu took a look at Shangguan Wan'er and said, "I will give the order to the Princess Zhenguo. Starting from tomorrow, the Princess Zhenguo will assist in the government. The military affairs and war situation will be handled by the princess on my behalf. I will give the order to the British Company to prepare for the construction of Sibin Temple."
Specializing in the affairs of the Hu people in various places."
Shangguan Wan'er was stunned for a moment, "Foreign affairs have always been handled by Honglu Temple. Now that we are rebuilding a Sibin Temple, I'm afraid the Zhongshu Ministry will not agree."
Empress Wu waved her hand, "You have to agree even if you don't agree! Honglu Temple is in charge of foreign affairs, and it has been really effective in these years! However, on this matter, their understanding is at odds with the Zhenguo and the British Duke! No matter it is the Zhenguo
, or the British, they have a very special philosophy, that is, they never look down on the Hu people. This is very good! Whether it is the Japanese Kingdom, Goguryeo, Silla, the Western Regions, or Tubo, everyone who came to the Tang Dynasty settled down.
Chang'an, then regardless of whether they have made meritorious deeds, served the imperial court, or become imperial officials, they are all citizens of the Tang Dynasty and should be treated equally! This is very important! In the Western Regions, Zhenguo and the British Duke established their status in the Western Regions in this way.
Yes! In the same way, as long as the Tang Dynasty treats everyone equally, it will surely influence the barbarians. At that time, the Tang Dynasty covered thousands of miles, and all those who returned were my people. What a scene it would be like."
Shangguan Wan'er was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "If that's the case... I'm afraid it will be difficult for the British father to do his errands!"
Empress Wu smiled and said, "Is there anything easy to do? If you don't do something that is not easy to do, you will never be able to do it. As long as you do it, you can't do it in three to five years, but you can always do it in three to fifty years.
!Besides, there is no distinction between high and low by race, so should men and women be distinguished by high and low?"
Shangguan Wan'er didn't dare to speak anymore, got up and went to deliver the order.
Lin Yutong unexpectedly raised his eyebrows and asked himself to handle military affairs. This was to ask him to know more about military aircraft and military systems. He was dedicated to reforming the military system. Empress Wu knew this, but if she didn't have a deep understanding, how could she dare to reform it rashly!
She has put herself in a position where it is important, she wants to do it, and it is meaningful to do it, but it will not interfere too much with her current actions.
Giving such an errand to the fourth master has more special meaning! But also, does it have anything to do with what she is busy with now? If it does, it will also conflict with the aristocratic family, which is beneficial and harmless to her!
You know that she is trying to comfort you, but she is giving you something you want to do and cannot refuse, so what do you think, should you accept it or not?
I can only accept it!
I picked it up here, and Empress Wu completed the first step!
The first step is to ease the relationship with Li Zhi. Even if it is a superficial reconciliation, this step must be done!
How did she do it? She asked the imperial doctor Qin Minghe to treat Li Zhi's eye disease! Can't he see it now? Tongtong used a needle, which made him see a little blurry shadow. In fact, Lin Yutong has a way, this can be done
Bloodletting therapy was used, but the courtiers did not agree! This requires using a needle knife on the saint's head, and you are a princess, even the princess of the country cannot do it! When several prime ministers heard this, none of them agreed!
This matter can only be given up! She can only use medicine to treat it, but it will only take a longer time. Now she is actually better than before.
But this time Empress Wu went to Li Zhi and cried, "... Xian'er was so kind and soft-hearted that Zhao Daosheng fell into the hands of the Wei family. Zhao Daosheng confessed, saying that Xian'er secretly trained a group of dead soldiers. These
There is no restriction on people coming in and out of the palace, and they also confessed that this group of people killed Ming Chongyan. I checked this matter, and it is absolutely true! You also know that he had someone kill Ming Chongyan. Raise some people outside,
This is nothing. Shouldn't these people be allowed to enter and exit the palace freely... Three to five hundred soldiers cannot rebel, but what if there are three to five hundred dead soldiers? Is there really no possibility of rebellion? This matter cannot be condoned! Shangzhezi gave him advice.
Not only did he not punish the Wei family boy who remonstrated with him, but he also gave him generous rewards. He wanted to be a wise king who was good at accepting advice, but was that the way of a wise king? No matter what, he was not suitable!
When you say you want to kill him, you just want to wake him up...but look at what he is saying!"
Okay! It’s over, don’t mention it again.
Empress Wu was silent and sat down in front of Li Zhi again, "If I can't see, of course it won't work! Tong'er's method is excellent, but those people just don't agree! If you believe me, I will call the imperial doctor today.
Try bleeding once. Maybe you will see it again? Those people outside want to say that I killed Xian'er and then planned to murder the saint. Today I will ask them to see if I am treating the saint.
Save your heart!"
As he spoke, he called Qin Minghe, "Come here! If you can be seen by the saint, I will reward you with a hundred pieces of silk! Not only will I reward you, I will also carry it to you personally."
I don’t dare!
"What dare you or not? Come on! The saint believes in the princess's method, and I also believe in this method. As an imperial physician, do you just say whether this method is effective or not?"
Of course it is useful!
Isn’t that the end? Hurry! I’m here to guard you.
yes!
Then Qin Minghe used a needle knife to prick the Naohui and Baihui acupoints. As soon as he pricked, blood came out. After wiping the blood, Qin Minghe looked at the saint anxiously, "Open your eyes and take a look..."
Li Zhi opened his eyes, squinting first, and could vaguely see a figure, which was the same as before.
Empress Wu stretched out her hand in front of Li Zhi, "Sage, can you see it?"
The five fingers gradually became clearer, and then he turned his face and saw the queen's facial features clearly, "I... saw it!"
Empress Wu clasped her hands together, her eyes turned red, and tears came down her face, "God bless you!" She wiped her tears and pointed at Qin Minghe, "You guard the saint, wait here, and I will go get your reward.
"
Li Zhi hurriedly said, "Send a few people."
Empress Wu turned serious, "How can you change your promise so easily! You can still see the light again. This is God's blessing! How dare you deceive God? As long as the saint can see it, don't talk about carrying a hundred pieces of silk.
Even if you ask me to carry a hundred pieces of silk every day, I will do it willingly."
After saying that, he really didn’t take anyone with him and carried it on his own.
How much does a piece of silk weigh? Converting it to kilograms in future generations, it is roughly fifteen kilograms.
Fifteen kilograms is thirty kilograms.
Try carrying 30 kilograms for one stop? It’s quite overwhelming!
But she needs to carry one hundred and thirty kilograms, and the distance is definitely more than one stop! How big is the Daming Palace? How big is the area of the four Forbidden City? The warehouse is almost four miles away from the main hall. She carries one horse at a time, so she has to walk
It's an eight-mile trip back and forth. It can't be completed in one day!
Therefore, Empress Wu did nothing these days. She got up early and started to fetch silk fabrics, going back and forth until very late.
It took five or six days of non-stop work to finally finish carrying the promised hundred horses.
How does Li Zhi feel? Even now, the queen is still willing to lower her head to do this, no matter what the purpose. She is so old, so she uses this method to ask for forgiveness.
That’s it! That’s it! Since you can’t fall out, do you have to stay frozen?
Li Zhi waved his hand towards Empress Wu, "Let's not talk about the past. Life will eventually go on."
Empress Wu paused the hand massaging Li Zhi's neck, then buried her face on his back, tears streaming down her face, "If only you had always been healthy! I'm not embarrassed anymore. Now...I
I have become a loner!"
Okay! Okay! No more talking!
Wu Gu indeed wiped his tears and whispered, "Ming Chongyan still has some ability. He has mentioned it several times that Luoyang is better than Chang'an... If not, my concubine will accompany the saint to Luoyang to stay for a long time?"
Li Zhi closed his eyes, breathed evenly, and did not reply.
Empress Wu knew it, but the saint refused.
She slowly withdrew, and Li Zhi turned over and lay down! He still didn't open his eyes, and he understood the queen's plan. She wanted to attack the prime minister! Prime Minister, it's not easy to move, and it's natural to frame a large area.
Doesn't work.
What to do? Leave Chang'an.
Chang'an is the home of the Guanlong forces, and Li Tang's foundation is here. But Luoyang is different. Luoyang was rebuilt by himself and the queen after he deposed Wang Liwu! The officials up and down there, as well as the surrounding official arrangements, all belong to the queen.
In the past few years, the queen has managed Luoyang perfectly!
As long as she goes there, she can live there permanently on the grounds that her illness is not suitable for moving! She can use her powers and be less restricted! Because she can leave most of the prime ministers in Chang'an to assist the government, and only take one or two with her.
, arrived in Luoyang, and promoted a few people because of the busy government affairs. Even if they were not given the official position of prime minister, they could still temporarily use these people to control the power of the prime minister.
She just wanted to use this to kick away the prime minister who restricted her.
Li Zhi frowned and asked Liu Ren: "Donggong...has no heirs so far?"
Yes! Li Xian hasn’t given birth to a son yet.
Li Zhi was even more worried. It would take many years until the East Palace had an heir, and then it would take many years to train the heir! Whoever is in charge, Tong'er or the Queen, can smoothly transfer the power to the descendants of the Li family.
Woolen cloth?
She has to be a queen!
"What does the queen ask Zhenguo to do?"
"Military Affairs."
Li Zhi nodded, "That's fine."
Empress Wu lay down, and when she turned over, her whole body ached! She had not done any physical work for a long time, and the past few days had been really hard on her. It was so uncomfortable!
Shangguan Wan'er gave her a massage herself. Empress Wu lay on her stomach and asked Shangguan Wan'er, "What has Zheng Guo been busy with these past few days?"
"The princess transferred the book of the Ministry of War and looked through it every day. She didn't say anything and she never saw anyone. The Ministry of Public Affairs of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China stopped the edict for the construction of Sibin Temple. It has been piled up for several days and she wants to get it.
?”
Um!
Shangguan Wan'er then got up, fetched the fold, and handed it to Empress Wu.
Empress Wu raised her hand and turned over it, then put it aside: "Send it to the princess early tomorrow morning! Tell her to see what these aristocratic families look like! Ask her again what she wants to do about this kind of thing, I'll wait.
Her reply!”
Shangguan Wan'er: "..." The princess's methods are always so unexpected sometimes! Maybe they are different from what you thought!
