This incident made Tongtong feel extremely inconsistent.
Logically speaking, Emperor Wu would not do this. She had not gone far away to lead troops and could not come back for a year and a half, so how could she do this?
In fact, there is a tacit understanding between the two, and they often compromise with each other on political matters. Empress Wu will not stubbornly say what must be done.
Of course, she has a kind of willfulness in her bones, and it will pop up from time to time. This is true. But she is very restrained now! Lin Yutong doesn't remember much historical data, but she remembers such a record:
When Taiping got married, Empress Wu wanted to divorce Xue Shao's sisters-in-law because they were not from aristocratic families. The reason was that Taiping would be wronged if she had to be a sister-in-law with someone from such a family background.
. Later, I was persuaded to stop, because although the families of these two people did not have noble surnames, their ancestors accompanied Li Yuan through the country, and the matter was settled at this point.
To be honest, there is no sister-in-law who wants to marry a daughter but doesn't like her son-in-law, so she just divorces these two wives and my daughter comes in again. This has never made sense, but Empress Wu must have really thought so at the time.
This is historical data, but it does not happen now.
It can be seen that her acting style is still somewhat restrained and changed.
Why did Tongtong believe in Taiping's proposal to marry Princess Kangnan to the Wu family? It was also because this matter was based on historical data.
Empress Wu asked Taiping to marry the Wu family! The one who was originally going to marry was Wu Chengsi, but it didn't happen in the end. Wu Chengsi was older than her, so how much older was he than Taiping? They were almost worthy of each other.
An old man.
Because it failed, Emperor Wu still insisted on a marriage between the two parties. So he pulled out his cousin Wu Youyan. This man was two years older than Taiping, so he was about the same age. But Wu You was almost middle-aged.
What should you do if you have a wife and children? Kill Wu Youchen's wife and marry Taiping.
Wu Youyan was an honest man, and Taiping didn't like him at all. Besides, if he married someone like this, would he be able to live a good life? Then Taiping raised his reputation and had great rights. From then on, Taiping's shadow appeared in many things.
Many things about Emperor Wu have changed, but many things have not changed and cannot be changed. The Wu family is a trap, why do you have to hold it? There is an issue of imperial power. She just wants people to know that her country is hers.
The country, the owner of the country is named Wu, not Li.
As a result, families like the Wu family emerged, and the Wu family was used to control those die-hard members who harbored thoughts about the Li family.
The courtiers were all former officials of the Li family, and everyone thought that Emperor Wu would return them to the Li family when he was old.
Emperor Wu felt that his ministers were disloyal, and his ministers felt that Emperor Wu did not want to return power to the Li family. Especially the marriage between the two families made the courtiers think that Emperor Wu wanted to pass the throne to the princess and princess of the Li family, and then the princess and princess gave birth to a child.
The children of the Wu family will pass into the hands of the Wu family in the future.
Isn’t this still the Wu family stealing the country?
This conflict definitely exists, but it is a slow conflict. Besides, how many days have the Zhang brothers been with Emperor Wu? They were just male favorites at the beginning, but later, as time went by, Emperor Wu asked these two to have rights.
of.
Moreover, Lin Yutong has always felt that Emperor Wu used his male favorite to intervene in politics to divert conflicts. According to historical records, Feng Xiaobao did not die so early. When he conquered the Turks, Emperor Wu asked this man to lead the army and gave him two more who could fight.
What does it mean to be a deputy? It’s just to give this person credit. Once he gets credit, it’s easy to be promoted! It’s easy to be promoted! But this person drifted and didn’t find the right position. After Empress Wu got Shen Nanqiu, he acted out of temper.
As a result, the Mingtang that he built that cost countless people burned down, which made Emperor Wu angry, so he died.
Taking this as a reference, Emperor Wu is not crazy, why is he obsessed with sex? Then she will listen to the slander from the two brothers of the Zhang family? It is said that Princess Kangnan will marry into the Wu family, which is something Emperor Wu thinks is feasible. She will listen
Okay. As for the ministers who rebelled against each other, at least the current Emperor Wu would not think so.
In history, it was indeed because of Cen Changqian that dozens of people were unjustly killed, and the North Gate Bachelor basically withdrew from the stage of history, but it shouldn't have been so early.
She rode back all the way, still thinking in her heart, the fourth master was right, don't use the history that you remember, but it is not very accurate, and then something will happen. Don't think about anything, just take it as it is.
If you don’t know anything, your judgment will not be wrong. But knowing what you think you know is often fatal.
Wang Shouxin followed closely, shouting from the side: "Your Highness, the army is also involved..."
It's okay! Tongtong is sure it will be okay. She doesn't believe that she is not here and the fourth master has not made any arrangements.
Fourth Master made arrangements to notify almost all the courtiers in Beijing who could be notified. He also asked people to contact the students from the Imperial College, the Hu monks and Hu people in Beijing, and many farmers.
A petition isn’t it?
Come on! Who can’t do it?
The yamen is surrounded before we talk.
Are there jailers? For one thing, the jailers dare not take action against such ministers; for another, the jailers have been fed by Zhang Huai for a long time. These people belong to the lower class, but they still have many friendships with bad people like Zhang Huai.
Over the years, a huge special network of low-level relationships has been laid out. The jailers guard the prisoners, while the jailers' families and ordinary people gather with their friends and go to the Yamen Gate to petition.
When Emperor Wu ascended the throne, there were more than 60,000 people who supported him the third time.
Now this is definitely more than 60,000, and more and more people are going out of their homes. Many people may not know what is going on. But people who don’t have many entertainment programs rarely catch up with the excitement. So, everyone who can go out can
Come out and take a look, what's going on?
Someone was shouting in the crowd, why is there a male favorite who is plotting against a loyal minister, why is the princess of the country already invited back to the city, why is the ministers of the whole dynasty sitting at the door of the prison, saying that if they dare to torture the prisoners, they will touch the dead stone at the door.
Enter the lion.
Ouch! Where have you ever heard of such a thing?
The more people gather, the more people gather.
Originally, monks and Taoists accounted for a large proportion in Luoyang, and the Fourth Master also asked me to send the news. The Taoists will not talk about it, they support the Li family! But not all monks necessarily support the Empress Wu! If they all support the Empress Wu,
Empress Wu would not have asked Xue Huaiyi to get some scriptures. Anyway, the monks didn't know about the scriptures, but Emperor Wu firmly believed that they existed.
So, I have been thinking that the law will not punish everyone, so let's go.
Monks, officials, barbarians and merchants, scholars, traders and pawns, all kinds of people who knew the situation or didn't know the situation, literally gathered more than 100,000 people in the blink of an eye.
Just ask Junchen, are you afraid? He wanted to find Wu Chengsi, but he couldn't get out at all. He thought to himself, if that doesn't work, let him go first.
Let go?
Di Renjie sat in the cell and refused to go out.
The noise outside was so loud that everyone in the prison could hear it. The people in prison were all officials, and no one was a fool. I am afraid that I am definitely not afraid anymore, but if I want to ask us to leave, I can't.
They have a keen sense of smell. Knowing the momentum today, it is not difficult to really shake things up.
Therefore, staying inside and stalling for time is all they can do at the moment.
Zhang Jianzhi and others looked at each other outside, knowing that if they wanted to return power to Li Tang, it would depend on today. What they had to do now was to unify the candidates. To return power, to whom should the power be returned.
Liu Weizhi was also a staunch supporter of Li Dan, "He was supposed to be the acting king... But after Princess Zhenguo left for a few days, I thought that the acting king was in very bad health! The reason why the King of Luling was deposed was because he was stupid and could no longer
It is time to raise the throne. Originally, there should be a grandson who can establish the throne, but the King of Luling is the father, and the grandson is young, so we must give up. Only the prime minister can serve the people."
Okay! As long as they are from the Li family, there is no need to pick anyone! The Prime Minister is nothing special, but he is definitely not a dim-witted person. This is enough.
It’s settled—it’s time to become the king!
Prime Minister?
Taiping stood under the verandah and waved his hand to the little eunuch who reported the news, but the Prime Minister couldn't do that!
For one thing, the Prime Minister didn’t want it; for another, he didn’t want it either.
Even though she mentioned the marriage to me several times, she really didn't care about me any more. Since she doesn't care about me or anyone else, then what does she care about?
Whatever she cares about, I will destroy it!
She cares about this world, and she cares about her as the queen... If there is no suitable person to be the queen, I will make her lose the world; if there is someone suitable to be the queen, I will ask her to see that some things are not done by children, but by children.
It's just that she didn't give her children a chance.
This matter happened in a hurry. If Xue Shao hadn't been trapped in the house day by day and had a hard time, he would have tolerated it for ten years. In ten years, he would be able to become the princess of the country who would not lose to her sister.
At that time, I had the authority to do what I did today, and I would not give up this position.
However, it is not impossible to sit for my sister now. The purpose must be achieved.
Shangguan Wan'er hurried over and looked at Taiping. Taiping smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shangguan Wan'er said in a low voice: "Did you initiate this incident?"
yes!
"But someone is using your wind to stir up waves."
"I know!" Taiping didn't shy away, and his expression became serious, "Wan'er, things have become irreversible now. You... think more about yourself."
Shangguan Wan'er looked deeply at Taiping and walked away.
Emperor Wu wandered around the main hall and asked, "How is it?"
"This matter can only be asked..." I originally wanted to say that I could only ask Princess Taiping, but after thinking about it, I said, "I can only ask Prince Liang. He has never entered the palace so far."
This thing is not enough to accomplish anything but more than enough to cause failure!
Emperor Wu sighed, "In this case... you take my secret decree and go out of the palace to see several prime ministers. Ask them to immediately kill Lai Junchen who framed the loyal minister, and I will hold a banquet to thank them! In addition, I will immediately draft an decree and canonize him.
The prime minister is the prince..."
Yes! The two decrees were completed in an instant, sealed with the jade seal, and Shangguan Wan'er left immediately.
But before he could leave the palace, he was stopped by Taiping, "Shangguan Internal Affairs Minister, I have said that you should think about yourself. Think about the Shangguan family, think about your grandfather Shangguan Yi, and think about those who are still in Yeting.
Your mother, and the female members of your family..." She stretched out her hand, "Here, the Shangguan family's mansion in Chang'an is empty now... The gods are her divine capital, and Chang'an is the destination. The lintel of the Shangguan family is the lintel of the Shangguan family.
It’s time to hang up the plaque of the Shangguan family! What do you want to be engraved on the plaque? In those days, the Shangguan family was the residence of the prime minister, so you, Shangguan Wan’er, don’t want to be a female prime minister?”
Shangguan Wan'er was stunned and looked at Taiping for a long time. Then slowly, she handed over the box in her hand...
