Li Jingye watched his grandchildren practice martial arts, and occasionally had to teach them to be loyal to the emperor. He told his grandchildren: "Never forget the country in the face of adversity, that is loyalty!"
Yes! "Never forgetting the country in the face of adversity is loyalty!"
Li Jingye was very satisfied and asked his grandchildren: "We must remember that we are the people of the Tang Dynasty. We are born as people of the Tang Dynasty and die as the soul of the Tang Dynasty!"
Yes! In life, he is a person of the Tang Dynasty, and in death, he is the soul of the Tang Dynasty.
Zesheng thought for a while and asked Li Jingye: "Grandpa, our surname is Li, which is actually Li from Li Tang! My grandson knows."
"If you know it, you must remember that giving us the surname Li is to make us loyal to the Tang Dynasty!"
Zesheng thought about it and nodded seriously, saying that he remembered it and would always be loyal to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Jingye was satisfied, and felt that if he continued to be educated like this, no matter how much he inherited from the British government, he would still be a loyal and loyal minister of Li Tang! Whoever dares to usurp the country will depend on whether our family agrees or not.
The grandchildren are doing well, "I'll have extra food today..."
Tai Sheng ran over, saved his grandfather's leg, and whispered: "My grandson thinks the sweet and sour red fish is delicious and wants to eat it."
Shh! Li Jingye looked around, "Don't dare to talk about eating red fish when you go out, just talk about fish!"
Understood! Those are carps, and whoever eats them will be punished. But no one eats carp. Carp is the biggest. The carp fished out from the river are all such big carps. They are big and meaty, and their spines are easy to pick.
, we just love to eat this.
Li Jingye, who was very loyal to the Li family, took his grandchildren to eat with him behind his back. As soon as his grandson said he wanted to eat, the grandfather's heart immediately softened, "You can eat, but you have to be loyal!
"
Of course! The corners of the mouths of the three children were stained with juice, but each nodded more efficiently than the other: Of course, we are loyal to Li Tang and will never betray him.
Yeah! It’s my family’s seed, and the root of loyalty is upright.
In fact, this root is indeed quite upright. Historically, Li Jingye’s uncle, the second wife of the British government, did not approve of Li Jingye’s rebellion. Not only did he disapprove, he also wrote to Empress Wu to explain this matter. It was just Li Jingye.
This matter is not the attitude of the British government. Moreover, Li Ji said it when he was still alive, saying that Li Jingye’s grandson had a bone in the back of his head.
This is a quick move to clear up the relationship. Why? Because people know very well that it won’t work.
There was an uprising in Yangzhou. There was a Dudufu in Yangzhou, right? Empress Wu arranged for the Dudufu in Yangzhou. They killed the generals arranged by Empress Wu and started their own uprising. That was before. But this time Tongtong intervened and she arranged
If someone is among the middle-level generals, this will be even more impossible.
I'm afraid that in less than two days, the secret message from the army should be sent to Tongtong.
And it was time for the court to receive the news.
Yes! On the third day, Tongtong received a secret report that there seemed to be something unusual in Yangzhou.
Keep an eye on the action and see how big these guys can do.
In fact, because Lin Yutong had deployed personnel in the army, Empress Wu was very vigilant, which made him skip the arrangements when arranging personnel in the four major governor's offices. He must pay attention to the movements in the army and not be careless in the slightest.
Because of this caution, at the same time that Tongtong received the secret report, Empress Wu also received the secret message: there was something strange going on in Yangzhou.
Empress Wu really didn't take it to heart.
How many famous and powerful people are there in Yangzhou? If you can incite a few nobles, there will be something to look at. In fact, isn't it true?
Lin Yutong thought the same way. Of all the nobles in history, only Li Jingye was like a second-rate man who could do whatever he asked. Is this also related to the fact that he had no heirs and no worries about future generations? No one else followed suit and rebelled.
From this point of view, Empress Wu is actually relatively stable at this stage.
The stable Empress Wu still wanted to show off her muscles. She treated this matter as a major event and said in the court, "There is trouble in Yangzhou. Some people are raising troops under the banner of helping Li Tang Sheji. What should I do about this matter?"
Do it?"
None of the courtiers said anything, and everyone said to themselves: You are right! Even if you are a young emperor, you have to ask the emperor to ascend the throne, right? Now that this position is vacant, the people below are looking forward to having a master in the world. Is it wrong?
Up and down, no one answered.
What should Empress Wu do? Ask the die-hard Pei Yan, "Ai Qing, what do you think?"
Pei Yan, who was named, remained silent for a long time and then said: "I thought there was no need to attack!"
Empress Wu: "………………" What do you mean?
Pei Yan opened his mouth to explain, and he said, "I believe that the reason why some people in the world are thinking of rebellion is because there is no master in the world and the throne is vacant. As long as the new king ascends the throne, they will naturally have no excuse to send troops. This crisis will naturally
It’s lifted.”
All the ministers in the dynasty looked at Pei Yan: Did he take the wrong medicine? Is this forcing him to have a baby?
Sure! This is forced uterus.
Isn't it obvious that Empress Wu wants to monopolize the government? You suddenly turned around and bit the Empress of Heaven, who was originally a group of people. This is betrayal and forced conquest.
When these words came out, it would be an understatement to say that they were earth-shattering.
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the splendid hall were all silent.
This was not what Empress Wu expected, really! She always thought that her cooperation with Pei Yan was okay, and she did not treat Pei Yan badly, but the betrayal came so suddenly.
She was so shocked that she didn't speak for a long time.
At this time, a young censor named Cui Yan had the courage to speak out. He stood at the back and asked loudly: "Pei Xiang is the minister who cares about life. Now he has the power. If there is nothing else,
Why do you want to coerce the Queen Mother in the name of the new monarch?"
Yes! You are trying to seize power from the Queen Mother! The Queen Mother is the royal Queen Mother, but you are a minister, right? You are suspected of bullying orphans and widows!
Manchao was even more shocked! Is this another flattering villain appearing?
I turned around to look, but before I could find the person speaking, I heard the Queen Mother shout: "Pei Yan has betrayed the kindness of the late emperor and is suspected of treason and rebellion. Come! Capture Pei Yan!"
With a bang, a group of people came up and immediately held Pei Yan down and led him down quickly.
The hall was quieter than before. This minister who rose suddenly and fell even more suddenly was finished.
Empress Wu threw up her sleeves and walked away. The ministers in the hall stood there for a long time before anyone realized that Pei Yan was arrested.
Zhang Jianzhi turned around and left, "I'm going to the princess mansion."
Di Renjie walked slowly and did not go with Zhang Jianzhi. Now that things have happened, many things have become clear. What can the princess do if she finds the princess? "The princess said that with you, the glory of the Tang Dynasty lies." Zhang Jianzhi said.
Then he knelt in front of Lin Yutong with his neck raised, and said this sentence, and then said: "Then I dare to ask Your Highness, is the Tang Dynasty still the Tang Dynasty?" Lin Yutong asked him: "What is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty?
"
Zhang Jianzhi frowned and was speechless.
"Is it the Li family royal family?"
Zhang Jianzhi nodded, "Yes! Of course, yes."
"Is it just for the Li family's royal family?" Zhang Jianzhi shook his head. Naturally, the world cannot only belong to the royal family.
Lin Yutong said, "The world belongs to the royal family, the ministers of the court, and the people of the world. To be fair, is the world in chaos?"
No!
"Yes! The people are not in chaos." Lin Yutong asked again, "If you were ministers, wouldn't the Queen Mother continue to use you?"
Yes! I will definitely continue to use ministers like myself.
"Then tell me, is the Queen Mother the Queen Mother of the Li family?"
"yes!"
"Is she Mrs. Li?"
yes!
"Her bloodline is all named Li, right?"
right!
"Then can she live forever and live in this world for thousands of years?"
cannot!
"If a hundred years later, who will belong to the world?"
plum!
"Yes! Whether she admits it or not, she is a part of Li Tang. No matter how she dresses her up or how she tries to break away, you and I both know that she is a part of Li Tang. So, what she has
Isn't everything a part of Li Tang? Is it a blessing to cause chaos in the world because of his name?"
Zhang Jianzhi couldn’t answer!
"I have said that when I am here, the glory of the Tang Dynasty is there." Lin Yutong said, "It is my duty to protect the people and enable you to stand in the Qingming court. As for the Tang Dynasty... If this
If it is a particularly important thing for you, I will find a way. Is this okay?"
A hint of loneliness flashed in Zhang Jianzhi's eyes. After getting up with the help of Lin Yutong, he solemnly said: "Your Highness, I know that this is a difficult thing for someone to do, and I also know that your current position is the most embarrassing... But you still have to take care of this matter.
Pei Yan has no intention of rebellion."
"But did Pei Yan make the last emperor Gu Xiandi's death in vain?"
yes!
"Sir, tell me, what's the point of being here? If he didn't have some kind of tacit understanding with the Cui family, why would he be like this? Some things are often ruined by people like him! He betrayed the late emperor first,
The Queen Mother betrayed the Queen Mother. I dare ask, what else did he not dare to betray?! Besides, did the Queen Mother say that he was treasonous? No! What the Queen Mother said was that he was suspected of treason! There was a rebellion in Yangzhou, and the Queen Mother asked him,
What should we do? He said there was no need to quell the rebellion. So, why is it wrong for the Queen Mother to say that he is suspected of treason?"
Zhang Jian was stunned, that's right! It's not called counter-rebellion. The Queen Mother suspected that he was related to the incidents in Yangzhou.
The Queen Mother doesn't seem to be right either.
He suddenly discovered that the Queen Mother was showing fewer and fewer tricks now, and she was becoming more and more smooth in doing things.
Yes! You just have to be tactful to leave people speechless.
Empress Wu was sitting on the couch, her face very calm.
Shangguan Wan'er handed over the meal, and Empress Wu also took the chopsticks.
When she was so frightened, Empress Wu laughed, "What are you afraid of? Whenever something big happens, you have to calm down, calm down, and just deal with it. Remember, the bigger the problem, the calmer the mind!"
yes!
Before half the bowl of rice was finished, Empress Wu said: "Pei Yan has fallen. We must find someone who can replace Pei Yan. He will not betray his superiors and will not offend his subordinates."
Shangguan Wan'er served the soup and boldly interjected, "It's easy to find someone who doesn't offend the people below. But it's hard to find someone who won't betray you!"
Yes! It’s hard to find someone who won’t betray.
Shangguan Wan'er said, "Princess Zhenguo, isn't it appropriate?"
Inappropriate! But when you mention it, I really think of someone, "What do you think of the prince-in-law?"
Shangguan Wan'er was stunned for a moment, "Consort?" Someone who is good-looking, very elegant, very proficient in miscellaneous knowledge, and good at dealing with foreign races? "He won't betray, and he won't disgust the people below... But, Consort?"
It seems that he is not very good at being an official!" Is it too cruel to ask a person who is not passionate about power and not good at power to enter this arena?
Empress Wu shook her head, "It's okay. He has Zhenguo supporting him and me supporting him. That's enough."
Then a decree came down, and Tongtong cut off a pot of peonies in an instant.
When Shangguan Wan'er saw the strange color on the princess's face, she comforted her and said, "The Queen Mother said that with her support and your watch, the consort can do it!"
