Chapter 455: To ensure that wrongdoers have a responsible person and debtors have an owner
"Senior Sister, Senior Sister, what kind of person is Master?"
In the royal chariot, Li Rui's little hands pinched the corners of his clothes nervously and looked at the senior sister next to him.
Wan'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master won't put too much restraint on you. He will definitely treat you the same way that Senior Sister treats you."
When Li Rui heard this, he immediately became happy.
When he turned three years old, a great Confucian scholar began to teach him "Shuo Wen Jiao", and his cultural level began to be on par with that of the former Zhou Guogong.
It's a pity that we have much less time to play. Naturally, I don't want Master to be as rigid, serious and meticulous as the teacher.
On the contrary, the zhenqi taught by my senior sister is very interesting, with thin strands flowing through the body.
When the carriage arrived in front of Li's house, Li Rui was about to run out, but he thought of the great scholar's teachings and slowed down and walked down.
Then I saw a big golden-black cat walking out of the house with elegant steps.
Wan'er smiled when she saw him, and Li Rui happily greeted him: "Xiao Hei!"
Seeing that he was trying to climb on Xiao Hei's back, Wan'er quickly stretched out her hand to hold it, and warned: "Xiao Hei can't ride on it, as it will cause damage to his back!"
Li Rui also thought about it and scratched his head: "It hasn't been to the palace for a long time. I forgot..."
However, Xiao Hei stretched out his paws when he saw it. Under the nervous gazes of the guards and maids, he leaned closer to Li Rui. Li Rui suddenly narrowed his eyes and held the cat tightly without letting go.
Li Yan walked over and nodded slightly when he saw this scene.
I remember that when I was sent to Tibet as an envoy, when Wan'er was still young, she also wanted to ride on Xiao Hei's back, but she gave up in order not to hurt Xiao Hei.
A child's temperament can be seen from trivial things. As the only son of a saint and a queen, Li Rui is undoubtedly doted on by thousands of people. At least so far, he has not been spoiled, and he has inherited the love of Li Hong and Pei.
Kind.
A good person may not be able to be a wise king, but at least he can be a benevolent king, and the lower limit is not too low.
For example, Song Renzong was not as good as some people praised him, and he was criticized a lot by later generations, but I have to admit that he was much better than many foolish emperors who toiled without scruples.
However, an emperor with a cruel temperament and no consideration for the people is not necessarily a completely ignorant emperor. A benevolent emperor and a tyrant are determined by the emperor's personal character. A wise emperor and an emperor are determined by the emperor's achievements in governing the country and cannot be confused.
Goodwill cannot determine everything, but it is impossible to have no goodwill at all. Li Yan had a good impression of the child and bowed his hand: "Your Highness!"
Li Rui hurriedly saluted, with a strict and polite manner: "Master!"
Li Yan took his hand and walked into the palace. On the way, he already knew the prince's basic qualifications. He said to Wan'er on the other side: "His physique is a talent for a middle-aged man.
It’s not bad. It takes four years to build the foundation of Zhenqi. The first two years are just about warming and cultivating Zhenqi. There is no need to deliberately pursue the movement of heaven and earth. The next two years can be spent refining Qi. After laying a good foundation, you can then practice strength. If you like,
It doesn’t matter if he can’t endure the hardship of practicing Jin, the Qi will last him a lifetime…”
Wan'er listened and felt that Master's words were a bit direct, so she quickly replied: "I understand!"
But as soon as she replied, she found that everyone around her was looking at her inexplicably.
Li Yan said: "What I just said can only be heard by you. It is to transmit the sound into the secret, and it is a small technique for using Qi. I will also pass it on to you later. It is quite practical."
Wan'er's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly, expressing her desire to learn.
Li Rui on the other side was inevitably a little nervous. When he saw the master on the martial arts training ground, he said gently: "You can practice with Wan'er now!"
Li Rui soon discovered that the senior sister was right, it was really the same as usual, because it was still the senior sister who was teaching him!
In fact, there is a difference. Li Yan's lips moved slightly, and a clear voice reached Wan'er's ears, instructing her on the tricks of how to use her energy. At the same time, his eyes were like lightning, looking at the imperial guards who protected Li Rui and the palace attendants who accompanied him.
slave girl.
Teacher Wan'er is already very proficient, and when Li Rui is laying the foundation, she doesn't need to worry too much. She is mainly immersed in her own Qi cultivation.
After several attempts, she tried: "Master... can you hear... me?"
Li Yan smiled: "As expected of Wan'er, your understanding is extremely high, but your skills are still low now. This kind of sound transmission can only be done close at hand, and you can't hear it if you are far away."
Wan'er found it very interesting. When Li Rui was immersed in the practice, he began to circulate his Qi and continuously transmitted messages: "Master, my junior brother is about to become the prince, and it will be designated as the East Palace!"
Li Yan said: "This is what it should be. It's just that after your Majesty became the prince, he became weak and sick. He probably had some scruples. He hopes that the prince will grow up healthily. Now that he is three years old, it is time for him to be officially canonized."
The rate of premature death of newborns in ancient times was very high, and even the royal family could not avoid it. For example, in the later Song Dynasty, the death rate was such that all the biological sons died and had to be adopted by others. Li Hong was such a precious son, so naturally he did not want anything to go wrong, or even
To be so superstitious that you are unwilling to establish a prince early is a pity for the parents in the world.
Wan'er knew that the saint was worrying about gains and losses, but when she thought about the current direction of the court, she chuckled and spoke without any scruples: "Seeing His Majesty appointing a crown prince, those traitors believed that His Majesty's end was approaching, and they couldn't wait for the new king to ascend the throne.
He is young and easy to control, but he doesn’t know that when the political situation stabilizes, His Majesty will settle the accounts with them!"
Li Yan asked: "Now that the transfer envoys have been decided, what is the reaction of the officials who are going to visit your official residence?"
Wan'er was a little frustrated: "I wanted to select a few talents for Master before, but unfortunately those people were not useful and no longer dared to come forward. They all felt that the Caosi government would be destroyed..."
Li Yan smiled: "Isn't it just right? Those aristocratic families whose interests have been violated are also waiting for their demise, so the resistance is not fierce, and restructuring is proceeding steadily in various places."
This actually fits Wu Zetian's path to the throne.
Wu Zetian was able to ascend the throne as empress. Her superb political skills were the most critical factor, but age was also a key factor.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! She came to the throne after someone else died. She was over sixty years old and had to deal with so many government affairs every day. The resistance of the ministers was fierce and fierce. She could not help but want to watch a good show.
Look at how many years this person can be a demon. After death, won’t everything return to normal?
As a result, Wu Zetian sent away one old minister after another, even Di Renjie was sent away by her, but she still became the emperor;
After killing batch after batch of young and powerful ministers, she treated the prime minister like a leek, but she still became the emperor;
When Li Zhi died, she was nearly sixty years old. From more than sixty to more than eighty years ago, all the people who were looking forward to her death had grown taller and the grass on the grave had grown taller. When the officials came to their senses, Wu Zetian was completely in power for twenty.
For many years.
Now, for the same reason, no one in the government or the public dares to touch the bad luck of the saint sitting in the royal palace, just waiting for his death and the arrival of a new political landscape.
How long do we have to wait?
Wan'er thought about the news she had just heard: "Master, Tubo has finally come out to plunder!"
Li Yan smiled and said, "Are you expecting them to come out?"
Wan'er clenched her little fists: "Of course I'm looking forward to it, we are finally going to avenge Dafeichuan in the past!"
"I actually don't really want to fight. The war has started again. This time against Tubo, it won't be as easy as Silla..."
Li Yan sighed slightly, but his eyes showed determination: "But it is a battle that must be fought. Only by completely suppressing this rising plateau empire will the surrounding areas of the Tang Dynasty be free from worries about foreign enemies, and I can fulfill my original wish.
"
Wan'er didn't quite understand the deep meaning of those words, but she asked: "Master, are you going to go on an expedition too?"
Li Yan nodded: "Of course I want to go, and I also want to bring back the internal guards who stayed in the Tubo City!"
Wan'er thought about King Zanpu of Tubo, with a strange look on her face. She thought about her past experience of going on a mission to Tubo with her master. It was a turning point in her life. She could no longer go with her this time. Her mood was a little low, but she said sensibly: "Master, I will do it for you."
Take good care of your home!"
Li Yan showed relief and looked at the accompanying guards and chamberlains: "You really need to keep a close eye on the palace."
Wan'er's expression became serious: "Is it because of Yang Sijian? Are there any of these people who are his subordinates?"
Li Yan said: "I'm not sure yet, but I've been observing you as soon as you left the palace. I've found a few people with strange expressions, who may have evil intentions. When you return to the palace, you can ask the internal officials to ask if they have committed a crime.
If you make minor mistakes, you will be transferred from your original post first, and you are not allowed to approach the prince during this period. If you make excuses, you will be handed over to the internal guards, and your Uncle Qiu will interrogate him."
Wan'er responded: "Yes!"
After receiving the news from Yang Zaiwei, Li Yan basically confirmed that the "Zuoming" was Mrs. Yang, and his father Yang Sijian was about to take his final revenge.
Yang Sijian once faked his death, and hiding him would only make him more concealed. Finding him directly would not be possible in a short time, so he would have to conduct a thorough investigation inside the palace.
This is not a matter of war. The opponent dared to destroy the Wu family's ancestral tomb without any scruples.
Since ancient times, there has been a conclusion that the coffin is closed, and there is also the later famous saying that the deceased is the greatest. However, in history books, there are many people who opened the coffin and destroyed the corpse, crushed the bones and scattered the ashes. Those who still cannot find peace after death are often
He was implicated in the crimes committed by his descendants, such as Li Ji's grandson Li Jingye, who rebelled. He also took the opportunity to take revenge and vent his resentment, such as Hao Chujun. The historical tomb of Shangguan Wan'er was also destroyed, and the coffin could not be found. Later generations speculated that it was the official burial of the imperial court.
Because, that is, the order given by Li Longji.
No matter what it is, digging the grave represents undying hatred. Yang Sijian spread all the ashes of Empress Wu. No one would believe her if she said that she would just die out like this.
Because of this, Li Yan asked Wan'er to accompany the prince to practice martial arts, and to observe and check the people around him: "Your Majesty and the Queen, I will also find an opportunity to screen them carefully to take precautions before they happen. As for the Queen Mother..."
Wan'er blinked: "The Queen Mother has executed many internal officials recently to rectify the palace discipline. It seems she doesn't need our help~"
Li Yan nodded: "In that case, I mainly protect your Majesty's family. I believe that as long as the Queen Mother does more good deeds, blessings will come to her."
