Chapter 85 Abolition of the Tang Dynasty Ambassador
Seeing that it would not affect his ability to lead troops, Wu Chengsi nodded in agreement.
At this time, Wu Mei asked again: "What is the situation between the Khitans and the Japanese?"
Wu Chengsi narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The Khitan people are okay. Among the eight tribes, only the Li tribe is involved in this case, and Li Jinzhong does not know about it. But the Japanese are different. According to Fu Yufeng's account, the Japanese are aggressive and help him
The restoration of the country actually wanted to use him as a puppet so as to seize Baekje territory. Buyu Feng also said that the Japanese country was lacking in resources, and the Japanese people had the ambition to devour the Central Plains!"
Wu Mei slapped the dragon case and said angrily: "The barbarians are so abominable that they sent a decree to execute all the people in the Japanese office in Beijing and prohibited the Japanese from sending Tang envoys to enter the Tang Dynasty."
Xie Yaohuan responded.
Wu Chengsi took the opportunity to say: "Aunt, the Japanese people sent Tang envoys to our country, the Tang Dynasty, in fact, in order to learn the advanced system and technology of our Tang country, and then strengthen themselves to fight against us. Other countries may have the same idea as them.
"
Wu Mei immediately understood what he meant, frowned and said: "But they admire the culture of our dynasty. Even if they are prohibited from sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty, they will still send people to study among the people, unless they are prohibited from entering the country."
"We can set up an agency in the imperial court specifically to prevent foreign craftsmen from secretly learning our important technologies."
Wu Mei now attached great importance to Wu Chengsi's words. Although she felt it was not necessary, she still nodded and said: "Forget it, let's discuss this matter in detail after you return to Beijing."
Wu Chengsi nodded in agreement and smiled secretly: "In the future, this agency will be named the National Security Agency."
At this time, Wu Mei suddenly waved her hand, and all the maids and eunuchs retreated.
"Chengsi, come here."
After Wu Chengsi got on the throne, Wu Mei patted him on the shoulder and said solemnly: "After this incident, Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian will definitely be very grateful to you. You should treat them more."
Wu Chengsi understood what she meant, nodded and said: "My nephew understands that when General Su invited me to have a drink this morning, he already showed some attitude in his words. I believe that in the future, he will support your decisions in all matters, like Li Sikong.
."
"What about Pei Xingjian?"
"He didn't say much, but General Su has a great influence on him. My nephew believes that he will come to our side sooner or later."
"We can't just wait, we have to make some efforts." Wu Mei said: "I heard that he has a daughter who is over fifteen years old. I am thinking about letting Wu Xiyue take her as his wife. What do you think?
Sample?"
Wu Chengsi thought of Wu Xiyue's temper, which might lead to domestic violence against Pei Xingjian's daughter, and hurriedly said: "Aunt, that boy Xiyue is not suitable, Youxu is better. And let me test Pei Xingjian's tone in advance, otherwise he will
It wouldn’t be beautiful if I refused.”
Wu Mei nodded and said: "That's fine. Pei Xingjian has taken the initiative to request to be transferred to your command. I have agreed. Please remember to be more careful about this matter."
Wu Chengsi nodded repeatedly, thinking: "Wu Zetian really likes to use marriage to win over others." Li Zhiying's voice could not help but appear in his mind.
Wu Mei looked at him thinking and suddenly smiled and said: "Chengsi, you have really grown up and can help me take care of my worries. The case this time was also solved very well. It seems that I will transfer you to Dali Temple."
The decision was correct."
"My nephew has indeed learned a lot at Dali Temple." Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "By the way, aunt, didn't you say that my nephew would be rewarded after solving the case?"
Wu Mei glanced at him sideways and hummed: "You remember this kind of thing clearly. Isn't the reward for you?"
"Why didn't I know when it was given?" Wu Chengsi wondered.
"Ambassador of Liaodong Road, is this reward not enough?" Wu Mei said with a smile.
"Isn't this what General Su gave me? How can it be counted!" Wu Chengsi muttered.
Wu Mei snorted and said: "If I hadn't urged Your Majesty, do you think that Su Dingfang alone would have allowed you to command tens of thousands of troops at such a young age?"
Wu Chengsi thought about it and said with a smile: "Then my nephew, I would like to thank my aunt."
Wu Mei leaned back on the chair, closed her eyes and said: "There are many officials involved in this case, especially Minister Zuopushe. The seat of the imperial censor is all vacant. I plan to let Pei, Minister of the Ministry of Industry,
Yan is appointed Zuopushe, and Huangmen Shilang Hao Chujun is appointed Yushi Dafu, what do you think?"
Wu Chengsi was slightly shocked. Although Pei Yan supports Wu Mei now, he will still stand up against her in the future. Hao Chujun even stood up and strongly opposed Li Zhi when he planned to give Wu Mei the throne!
"Aunt, my nephew thinks something is wrong."
Wu Mei raised her eyes and asked, "Why?"
"Pei Yan was originally an official in the province, and he has been the minister of the Ministry of Industry for less than a year. If he is suddenly appointed as the head of the province, not only will he not be familiar with all aspects of affairs, but other officials in the province will also be dissatisfied. It is better to promote Li Jingxuan
It is more appropriate to shoot for the left servant and let Pei Yan shoot for the right servant." Wu Chengsi added.
Li Jingxuan can now be regarded as half of his ally.
"But Li Jingxuan and Xu Jingzong searched the British palace together, so I'm afraid that Li Ji would be unhappy if he was allowed to serve as a Zuopushe." Wu Mei frowned.
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "Don't worry, Li Jingxuan was completely taken advantage of by Xu Jingzong. He has already come to Li Sikong to apologize. Li Sikong won't mind."
Wu Mei nodded slightly: "What about Hao Chujun serving as the imperial censor?"
Wu Chengsi pondered for a moment and said: "Aunt, my nephew thinks that the position of imperial censor is more suitable for my eldest cousin!"
"He?" Wu Mei laughed and said, "Chengsi, don't you know what kind of virtue Yizong is?"
"My nephew understands that my eldest cousin is indeed not capable enough, but the position of doctor censor may be better filled by someone who is not very capable."
Wu Meifeng raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you mean by this?"
"Auntie, think about it, although Yuan Gongyu is greedy for money, he is smart and capable. After he became the Yushidao, the Yushitai was completely controlled by him and controlled by his will. Then the purpose of the Yushitai to supervise all officials is gone. For example,
Zhang Jianzhi and King Luo Bin were both removed from the imperial censorship by Yuan Gongyu because they were too upright."
"My nephew feels that every censor in the censorship is like a knife hanging over the heads of hundreds of officials. These swords need to have their own independence and cannot be controlled by one person. Therefore, the position of censorship doctor does not require
Too shrewd for the job.”
Wu Mei frowned and thought for a moment, then said slowly: "What you said makes some sense, I will reconsider it." At this point, she said leisurely:
"Chengsi, do you know why I keep using Yuan Gongyu and Xu Jingzong despite knowing they are greedy for money and lust?"
Wu Chengsi nodded vigorously and said seriously: "Because those talented ministers are dissatisfied with your control of the government, you have no one to use, so you can only use them!"
A bitter smile appeared on Wu Mei's face: "You are right, just because I am a woman, those capable and talented people are not happy that I am sitting on this throne. They feel that I am rebellious, so they
Even my sons are drifting away from me."
At this point, she let out a long sigh.
Wu Chengsi held her shoulders and said, "Aunt, we, the descendants of the Wu family, will always have your backing!"
Wu Mei had an excellent ability to control her emotions. The sadness on her face flashed away and she said with a smile: "If you don't cause me any more trouble, I will burn the incense. Wu Youji came to you because he wanted you to take him with you."
Are you going to Yingzhou?"
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "Flowers grown in greenhouses are often not as tough and strong as wild flowers. My nephew thought it would be a good idea to let the fifth child go out to practice!"
"Greenhouse?" Wu Mei asked doubtfully.
Wu Chengsi hurriedly explained: "I just keep him at home!"
Wu Mei nodded and said: "With you watching over him, I can rest assured. If you have any other requests for Yingzhou this time, I will try my best to satisfy you!"
"My nephew wants to ask you for someone else?"
"who is it?"
"The Thousand Oxen Guards will always have black teeth!"
Wu Mei pondered for a while: "Okay, I will transfer Hei Te Changzhi and Wu Youji to Zuo Wuwei as generals. Is this okay?"
Wu Chengsi said happily: "Thank you very much, aunt!"
Hei Te Changzhi is familiar with the terrain of the peninsula and is a famous fierce general in history. This expedition is just the right time to use him as his own.
The aunt and nephew exchanged some more gossip, and Wu Chengsi resigned and left.
After leaving the Zichen Palace, they saw Wu Youji still waiting outside the door. After learning that he was transferred to Zuowu Guard, he cheered and returned to Jinwu Guard, preparing to move to Zuowu Guard immediately.
Wu Chengsi went to the Hanlin Academy and told Wang Bo, Zhou Xing and others that he was leaving Beijing, and asked them to work in the Hanlin Academy to help him find more talents, and then investigate after he returned to Beijing.
Later, he went to the Shangshu Province again, approached Li Jingxuan, and hinted that he might be promoted to Shangshu Zuopushe, so that he could understand that he had contributed to the process.
