As soon as this sentence came out, it caused too many associations.
The emperor passed down three generations, the Wu Dynasty was Li Xing, and the heroine was Chang.
At this time, in the palace, there happened to be a twenty-year-old Duke Yi Guo whose surname was Wu.
Under the melon field and plum trees.
The yellow mud fell off my crotch, I can't explain it clearly.
Li Shimin also glanced at Wu Huaiyu several times. Fortunately, Li Shimin was still young at this time and didn't completely believe it.
Although the thirty-year-old emperor was quite superstitious about prophecies, and even believed in those fortune tellers, scholars, and divination and fortune-telling Taoists. He used to lead troops to fight abroad. Whenever he heard about these experts, he would definitely go and visit them incognito.
For a moment, take a look, touch your bones, check your strength, and so on.
In the ninth year of Wude, Taishi Ling Fu Yi said that Taibai saw the Qin Dynasty, and the King of Qin should have the world's celestial interpretation. Hasn't it become a fact now?
It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist.
After all, the imperial courts of all dynasties had special Taishi Bureau or Qintianjian, Sitiantai and other institutions responsible for observing the stars and gases.
"What do you mean by this?"
Li Shimin withdrew his gaze from Wu Huaiyu and asked Li Chunfeng directly. Wu Huaiyu was too young and could not see the slightest hint of threat on his body. Of course, the most important thing was that the prophecy clearly contained the word "heroine Chang".
Wu Huaiyu is not a woman.
"I looked up at the sky, looked down at the calendar, and compared it with the secret notes to interpret this sentence."
Li Shimin's face was already very ugly, "Be specific."
"According to my calculations based on the hexagrams, such signs have already appeared. After the Li family's throne has been passed down for three generations, the Wu family's heroine will take over the world."
Li Shimin found it very ridiculous.
Because since ancient times, there has never been a queen.
There have been many authoritarian queen mothers and empresses in history, such as Empress Lu of Liu Bang in the Han Dynasty, and Dou, the grandmother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. They were all very famous and listened to politics behind the curtain.
But Li Chunfeng meant that after three generations, a woman named Wu would appear in the Tang Dynasty to replace Li Tang as the emperor. This is ridiculous.
Li Shimin was more convinced that Wu Huaiyu would usurp the throne and become emperor in the future.
"Three generations later."
Li Shimin murmured, "He is now the second emperor of Li Tang Dynasty. After the third generation, wouldn't he be the successor of the prince Cheng Qian? He is only thirty years old. If he is the emperor for another thirty years and passes the throne to Cheng Qian, Cheng Qian will also be the only one."
At forty years old, Cheng Qian could still be emperor for at least twenty years.
That is, fifty years later, the Wu family will rule the world.
Li Shimin silently calculated in his mind.
There is no one with the surname Wu in his palace. Cheng Qian is only ten years old. He has not yet married a wife and has no concubines. There must be no one with the surname Wu.
Could it be that in the future, Cheng Qian will marry a man named Wu and then be deprived of the throne, just like Empress Lu, but Empress Lu has no intention of proclaiming herself emperor, so she still makes the Liu family emperor.
The more I think about it, the less it feels right.
"Are you sure that after three generations, when Wu replaced Li Xing and the heroine Chang, it was the woman named Wu who took over the world?"
"The hexagrams are shown in this way, combined with the results predicted by the celestial phenomena of Taibai and Venus, and I also compared them with the secret notes."
Secret Note, this is a very mysterious book. It is said to be the treasure of Jingyun Temple. I don’t know when it was handed down. There are many hexagram speculations and many prophecies in this book.
Prophecy.
Some say it was written by Ge Hong, while others say it was compiled by Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling. However, many major events since the Wei and Jin Dynasties can be corresponded to in this secret book.
Even Li Yuanjian, Tang Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin, Qin King, should have the world, can now be matched in the secret book, although the prophecies in this secret book are vague, general, and broad.
If it is something that has not happened yet, it may be difficult to interpret, but if it has already happened, if you compare it with the secret notes, you will find that many of them are correct.
Li Chunfeng said that this interpretation not only matched the hexagrams, but also the celestial phenomena of Taibai and Venus, and could even match the secret prophecies.
Of course, these eleven characters, "Three Generations of Emperors", "Li Xing of the Wu Dynasty," and "Chang of the Heroine" are actually the prophecies in the secret book.
That's the original statement.
But the secret note does not say whether this will happen in the Wei Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, Sui Dynasty or Tang Dynasty, or when. It was Li Chunfeng who inferred what was going to happen based on the stars and hexagrams, and it should be in the eleven characters of the secret note.
As for further information, Li Chunfeng did not dare to say whether there would be a female emperor in three generations, or a queen mother who would listen to politics from behind the curtain, but he speculated that it was more likely to be an empress.
As he spoke, Li Chunfeng took out the secret book and presented it to the emperor, and turned to that page.
There is a very mysterious and difficult-to-understand picture on that page, and then it is paired with these eleven words.
Wu Huaiyu also read it and felt that the picture and the eleven characters could be interpreted in many ways, even in any way. This book reminded him of the famous Tuibei picture in later generations.
It is said that Tuibei Tu is a mysterious masterpiece written by Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng. However, later research shows that the Tuibei Tu that has been circulated is a forgery that has been constantly modified by later generations. It is a compilation of things that have happened in the past into these pictures and stories.
, deliberately leaving some hidden clues, is essentially telling stories about the past, rather than truly predicting the future.
This thing is a bit like the horse racing book. Before the lottery is drawn, you can’t understand anything by looking left and right, but after the lottery is drawn, you can match them one by one.
In fact, any number drawn can be deciphered using the diagram of the Horse Sutra.
But now it was Li Chunfeng who took out the secret, and Li Shimin had to think carefully.
The secret notes are not secret, because they began to leak out to the people as early as the Sui Dynasty. Many people knew about them and even copied them. The emperor could not doubt the authenticity of the secret notes.
But again, with an ambiguous picture and a sentence without beginning or end, this thing can indeed be interpreted in many ways.
However, the emperor passed down three generations, and the Wu Dynasty was Li Xing. Among them, the four words Wu Dynasty and Li Xing touched Li Shimin's nerves.
Wu Huaiyu cursed Li Chunfeng 10,000 times in his heart. He said Wu Dai Li Xing in front of him. Isn't this cursing a bald donkey in front of a monk?
Seeing that the atmosphere is getting more and more solemn.
Wu Huaiyu had no choice but to retreat in order to advance. He knelt down before the emperor and asked to resign.
"I, Wu Huaiyu, came from a humble background. It was all thanks to His Majesty's favor that I was able to become a member of 600 households at the age of twenty. I wore a purple robe, gold talismans and jade belt. Now Dr. Li's divination, stargazing, and secret notes have led to this prediction. I am deeply frightened."
.
I am deeply grateful to Your Majesty for your kindness in knowing me, and I am full of loyalty to Your Majesty, but at the moment I would like to resign to avoid any suspicion."
Wu Huaiyu's words moved Li Shimin a little.
Although the words Wu Dai and Li Xing were so obvious, the emperor did not expect that Wu Huaiyu would be blamed. Fifty years later, Wu Huaiyu would be seventy years old and it was impossible for him to still be the Tang Dynasty.
What's more, the secret also made it clear that it was the heroine Chang.
The emperor asked Li Chunfeng to interpret it more carefully.
But Li Chunfeng could only draw this conclusion. As for inferring more detailed and accurate information from this sentence in the secret note, he was still unable to do anything.
"We still need clearer celestial signs before we can continue to deduce."
Li Shimin was very dissatisfied with this answer.
The angry emperor decided to kill several people.
Li Chunfeng's servant leaked the secret memorial to report to the emperor, and was sentenced to death. Li Chunfeng's maid colluded with the goddess, leaked the secret memorial, and was executed.
Yuan's witch must be executed.
Yang Zuan, the magistrate of Chang'an County, was incompetent and disloyal, so he was executed.
Li Chunfeng, a doctor of Li, leaked a secret memorial and was unable to control his subordinates, so he was beheaded.
As soon as the word "cut" came out, Li Chunfeng was stunned.
He was quite otherworldly at first, and he always looked calm and calm while standing in the palace. He was very well advised by experts to deduce the secrets of heaven and earth, but who knew that the emperor wanted to kill him.
He stayed there for a long time without saying a word.
In fact, although Li Chunfeng joined Li Shimin eight years ago, from the sixth-grade official to the eighth-grade official, he knew that he was not appreciated by Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, although Dr. Li is not strict with his subordinates, it was only an unintentional mistake on his part when the book boy leaked the secret information. His crime should not be punished. Please forgive him."
Although Wu Huaiyu was very suspicious that Li Chunfeng had taken someone's advantage and made a secret move to attack him, there was no evidence, and he felt that Li Chunfeng was not guilty.
Seeing that the emperor wanted to kill Li Chunfeng, he still tried to persuade him.
It's not that he thinks Li Chunfeng is innocent, but he feels that if there is really an inside story about this matter, then Li Chunfeng is the key.
To untie the bell, one must tie it. If Li Chunfeng died in such a confused way, Wu Huaiyu might never know who stabbed the possible hidden sword.
Li Chunfeng knelt down to plead guilty.
After all, he is still young. Li Chunfeng, who is twenty-five years old, has a mother, wife, concubines and children at home. He is not without worries. He may not care much about his career, but he cannot care about his wife, children and children.
Wu Huaiyu persuaded him hard.
Finally, Li Shimin's anger subsided, and he placed Li Chunfeng under house arrest in the Taishi Bureau, allowing him to continue interpreting the secret prophecies and observing the Taibai Venus. However, he was not allowed to go home, and he was dismissed from his post, and his official rank was demoted to a ninth-grade general. Shilang.
"Forty sticks!"
Li Chunfeng was escorted out by the guards.
It is estimated that he may regret having to watch stars and divination secrets at this moment. You can be your doctor of calendar, teach calendar students well, and help study calendars and compile almanacs. A dog is trying to catch a mouse, so you have to go to stargazing and divination to speculate on the secrets of the heavens.
"Your Majesty, although Chang'an ordered Yang Zuan to handle the case poorly, there is indeed insufficient evidence in that case. This is just a mistake in judgment, not a serious crime. If pursued according to the court system, this will not be a major matter. Please calm down, Your Majesty."
Li Shimin was still angry and insisted on executing Yang Zuan.
He patted Wu Huaiyu on the shoulder and said, "Don't try to persuade me on this matter."
"You have just taken up the post of Yongzhou Biejia, and you have been able to correct the case of Yuan's evil words that deceived the public. It is very good. Don't take Li Chunfeng's divination speculation to heart. I have full faith in you. You go back and do your job well. , Yongzhou is special, thank you for your hard work."
Wu Huaiyu was comforted by the emperor and was rewarded with a pair of silver bottles when he left.
But when he went to court the next day, the emperor issued an edict.
Considering that the Yongzhou Mu Han Wang Yuanchang was young, the affairs of Yongzhou were all handled by Wu Huaiyu, the liaison officer, and the affairs were heavy. Therefore, the emperor exempted Wu Huaiyu from serving as the general on the left, the leader of the Chongxian Pavilion, the prince's right guard, and the minister of punishment.
He was still a bachelor of Chongxian Hall and served as a special driver in Yongzhou, and also served as the prince's horse washer.
This decree was read out in the palace, causing many people to secretly speculate.
The emperor announced that Chang'an ordered Yang Zuan to be executed.
Wen Yanbo, the imperial censor, stood up and firmly opposed it. Yan Sigu, the assistant secretary of the Zhongshu, also opposed it. Linghu Defen, the secretary and young eunuch, also opposed it. Of course, Yang Shidao, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, also stood up and opposed it.
These four ministers who stood up to oppose the execution of Yang Zuan, Yan Sigu and Linghu Defen were actually close friends with Yang Zuan during the Sui Dynasty. Yang Shidao and Yang Zuan both belonged to the Yang family of Hongnong, although they were not the same family.
Fang, he is also from the same clan. There is nothing to avoid suspicion at this time. It is important to save people.
They stood up one after another to defend.
However, it was Wen Yanbo who finally convinced the emperor. Wen Yanbo was the imperial censor and the minister in charge of inspecting the affairs of the Zhongshu Province, and also participated in the preparatory political affairs.
He was also in charge of the Yushitai, and he argued hard and cited the legal system of the Tang Dynasty. Anyway, the emperor had no reason to kill a high-ranking minister just because he misjudged a case.
Wen Yanbo even listed Yang Zuan's political achievements in the past years after returning to the Tang Dynasty. From serving as a censor, to wailang, a merit examiner in the Ministry of official affairs, to Chang'an county magistrate, he performed well in every position and received top-notch evaluations.
.
In the end, it was concluded that Yang Zuan was not only innocent, but also meritorious. Normally, Yang Zuan would have been promoted when his term expired this year.
At this time, the prime ministers Wei Zheng and Wang Gui also stood up to support Wen Yanbo.
Finally, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also felt that Yang Zuan just made a small mistake this time.
Li Shimin was silent for a long time, and finally unexpectedly admitted his mistake in front of the court.
"Since all the ministers say that Yang Zuan is not guilty, I will change my decree."
"Yang Zuan, the magistrate of Chang'an County, was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs as originally planned."
As soon as this decree came out, the ministers couldn't understand it. Just now they were shouting about beating and killing, but now they have been upgraded to several levels?
The magistrate of Chang'an is on the fifth rank, and there are two assistant ministers in the Ministry of Personnel, both of whom are on the fourth rank. Isn't this a promotion to four ranks? Is there such a good thing?
"Wei Siqi, who recorded affairs in Yongzhou and joined the army, inspected the magistrate of Chang'an County."
This appointment is even more astonishing. Wei Siqi was originally only a seventh-rank official in Yongzhou and joined the army. How could he be directly promoted to a fifth-rank official and become the magistrate of Chang'an County? Even if he added the word "inspection and correction", he would definitely be promoted to a full official in just a short period of time.
Is this an eight-level upgrade in a row?
It seems that the concubine Wei Zhaoyi and the sisters in the palace are really favored by the Holy Spirit.
In contrast, today Wu Huaiyu was dismissed from four part-time jobs: General Zuo Lingjun, Minister of Justice, Prince Right Guard, and Chongxian Pavilion Director, and they were all very important part-time jobs.
What happened in the meantime and why there was such a sudden change? Some officials were confused and felt that they had missed something big.
Wu Huaiyu stood in the hall, very calm.
After the prophecy appeared, he only got rid of four part-time jobs, but still retained the three positions of Yongzhou Biejia, Prince Xima and Xingxiansi Langzhong, which was pretty good.
Li Chunfeng still only retains a rank of general official from the ninth rank down, and is under house arrest in the Taishi Bureau, planning to throw tortoise shells to look at the stars and perform horoscope predictions.
Just when he thought that today's court meeting was about to end, Zhang Anan handed over a decree to the general on duty, Sheren.
The Duke of Wuchang, General Zuo Wuwei, and Li Junxian, who was stationed at the Xuanwu Gate, were transferred to the governor of Huazhou and were granted the title of Duke of Guangping. Their fiefdom was also changed from Wu'an County to Handan County.
General Zuo Wuwei was promoted to governor of Huazhou. To be honest, this should be a promotion.
After all, Chai Shao was the last governor of Huazhou, Huazhou guarded the east gate of the capital, and Tongguan was located in Huazhou.
But Wu Huaiyu was shocked after hearing this.
He remembered that Li Junxian was nicknamed the Fifth Lady. This was Qin Qiong's old friend, a native of Wu'an, Mingzhou, Hebei, and the son of a general. His father served as governor of Sizhou during the Sui Dynasty.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Junxian, like Qin Qiong, was originally a general of the Sui Dynasty. He later went to Wagang. Later, after Li Mi was defeated, he joined Qin Qiong and others under Wang Shichong's command. However, he later disdained Wang Shichong as a person and joined Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin.
Together they abandoned Wang Shichong and joined the Tang Dynasty.
After returning to the Tang Dynasty, he continued to serve under Li Shimin and participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident. When the Turkic troops approached the Wei River, he also served as Lieutenant General Yuchi Gong and made a surprise attack in Weibei to defeat the enemy.
His official position was also promoted to General Zuo Wuwei, and his title was from Wulian County Son to Wulian County Duke. Not long ago, he was promoted to Wuchang County Duke with a virtual title of two thousand households.
He was also a new military figure.
Others thought that Li Junxian had been promoted again.
Only Wu Huaiyu knows it. Li Shimin is probably suspicious now. Li Junxian happened to catch up with General Zuo Wuwei, the Duke of Wuchang, his hometown is Wu'an, and his fiefdom is also Wu'an, and he is still stationed at Xuanwu Gate.
She is nicknamed the Fifth Lady.
Li Shimin is just wondering about the heroine Li Xing of the Wu Dynasty, Chang. Who is this heroine of the Wu clan? You, Li Junxian, are nicknamed the Fifth Lady. Doesn't this match up in every way?
Although it may not be Li Junxian. After all, Li Junxian is older than Li Shimin and will probably be dead in fifty years. However, since there is suspicion and suspicion, the emperor will definitely not worry about keeping him in Chang'an, especially when he is stationed at Xuanwu Gate.
Need a place.
The transfer of the Huazhou governor this time is probably just to transfer people out first. The Huazhou governor will probably not be appointed for a long time.
Maybe Li Junxian, the Fifth Lady, is now on Li Shimin's blacklist and may be killed at any time for any reason.
After all, in history, Li Junxian was unjustly killed by Li Shimin for bullying the emperor and oppressing the people.
Li Junxian's face was filled with excitement, and she was so happy that she left work and knelt down to thank her. She was even a little proud.
