Shang Bo's team left Wuwei and were heading towards Lingwu along the official road.
Shang Bo was to succeed Li Daoyuan and become the envoy of the Longyou Governor's Mansion.
This position is equivalent to the director of the Beijing Office, and is also Long You's direct influence in the court.
Shang Bo selected twenty players to accompany him to Fengxiang Mansion.
If the imperial court is able to regain the two capitals in the future, Liuyuanyuan will also move to Xijing with the imperial court.
A group of players were very excited to be able to observe the Tang Dynasty court up close and participate in the court on behalf of Long You.
These players who are willing to go to Fengxiang Mansion are all senior political enthusiasts.
Among the players of Datang Fengyun, there is a large number of key political groups.
Who would play a historical game if they didn't love political affairs? Wouldn't it be better to find an RPG that involves romance and fighting?
Zhang Leyan opened the forum and clicked on the Today's News section.
This section is created by the players of Wenzhao Gongzhao. It summarizes the important news that happened today. It can be regarded as an in-game newsletter.
"President, please read this news!"
Shangbo opened the forum and saw the first article of today's news.
"The auspicious dragon carcass was discovered in Lingwu, causing great uproar in the court." It turned out that the author of the news was Zhou Shi, who was in Fengxiang Mansion.
Zhang Leyan quickly said: "The dragon skeleton of Lingwu, isn't this the dinosaur that Zhang Tianlun dug up in Lingwu? Is it reported as auspicious luck?"
After reading the news, Shangbo nodded and said, "It should be the dinosaur fossils that Zhang Tianlun dug up in Lingwu."
"The dinosaur fossils dug by Lingwu actually caused a big controversy in the court. This game is so interesting!" Zhang Tianlun said excitedly.
Everyone comes to play Datang Fengyun for the extremely high degree of freedom and extremely rigorous "historical deduction".
Players' actions will produce changes in the world.
One of your inventions may change the whole world.
This sense of accomplishment is unmatched by other games, which is why five thousand players are struggling in the game.
Shang Bo said: "It seems that when we arrive at Fengxiang Mansion, there will be trouble in the court again."
Zhang Leyan is also a political enthusiast, but he is not as far-reaching as Shang Bo. He quickly asked: "The dinosaur fossils are real. This auspiciousness should be subsided soon, right?"
Shangbo shook his head and said: "Auspiciousness is just a statement. The debate is not whether the auspiciousness is true or not. This is just a continuation of the last Uyghur victory incident."
Seeing that Zhang Leyan still didn't understand, Shang Bo changed the subject and said:
"First of all, let me ask you a question, what do you think a court struggle is like?"
Zhang Leyan was stunned for a moment and said, "What kind of one? Let me think about it, something like Nirvana in Fire?"
Shangbo shook his head and said: "Political struggles, whether they are at the top or at the bottom, actually have the same underlying logic."
"The layout of Nirvana in Fire is thousands of miles away, and the plan to take revenge in ten years is just a novel. The real struggle in the court is not like that at all."
Zhang Leyan knew that this was Shang Bo's intention to remind him, so he immediately asked: "President, what does that look like?"
Shang Bo said: "There is a biography of Wei Qiwu'anhou in "Historical Records", which describes a political struggle between Wei Qihou Dou Ying and Wu'an Hou Tianfu during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."
"This struggle took place in the early days of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it was also a struggle witnessed by Tai Shigong, so the credibility is quite high."
"The romance of the struggle is also very simple. After Wu'an Hou Tianfen became the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he told Guan Fu that they would visit Dou Ying, the Marquis of Wei Qi, who was idle at home."
"Wei Qihou Dou Ying cleaned the house, bought a lot of meat and wine, and was waiting to entertain Guan Fu and Wu'an Hou Tianfu."
"But Wu'an Hou Tianfen did not go to the banquet. This incident caused Wei Qihou Dou Ying to lose face, so Guan Fu stood up for Wei Qihou Dou Ying and caused a big fuss in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"From then on, Tian Fu, the Marquis of Wu'an, hated Guan Fu. He found an opportunity to impeach Guan Fu for raising followers at home and committing lawlessness. Because of this, Guan Fu was ordered to be arrested by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."
"Wei Qihou Dou Ying and Guan Fu had a close relationship, so he wrote a letter to stand up for Guan Fu, and was arrested and imprisoned by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."
"Wu'an Hou Tianfan was appointed to investigate these two cases and found a lot of evidence against Dou Ying and Guan Fu. In the end, both of them were beheaded."
After Shang Bo finished speaking, he said to Zhang Leyan: "Look, this is a political struggle. It sounds very high-end, but in fact it is no different from a street fight."
Zhang Leyan was stunned for a moment. Is this what fighting in the court is like?
Shangbo continued: "But if you say he is low-level, in fact, there are deeper reasons for this fight."
"Wei Qihou Dou Ying is a relative of Empress Dowager Dou. After Empress Dowager Dou dies, Dou Ying loses his backer. As an old man from the previous dynasty, if he can give up his power with peace of mind, he can die a good death."
"But Dou Ying was the hero who put down the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, so he always complained that the court did not reuse him. His guests also often said some bad things about the court. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty punished him to cut off the power of Empress Dowager Dou in the court.
.”
"Tian Fu is the younger brother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the mother of the Queen Mother, and the uncle of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. New political forces replaced the old political forces, and the old people were unwilling to hand over their power obediently, so this struggle came about."
Zhang Leyan's eyes lit up.
Shang Bo continued: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a master of political power, but did he plan a conspiracy? In fact, no. Most political struggles are based on taking advantage of the situation, and there are not so many plans that cover thousands of miles."
"If we break it down, this battle of auspiciousness is actually a continuation of the previous battle between the emperor and the political hall."
"Lingwu's discovery of auspiciousness is great news for the emperor, and it illustrates the legitimacy of the emperor's succession."
"In this era, although the theory of induction between heaven and man has declined, it still has a market in the hearts of many scholar-officials and common people."
"The emperor was enthroned by Lingwu. Lingwu found the auspicious dragon carcass, which shows that the emperor was appointed by heaven."
"So the emperor announced the auspicious news on the spot that Lingwu had been discovered."
"But for the prime minister, the expansion of imperial power will inevitably encroach on the prime minister's power."
"The last time the emperor used the system of taking turns holding the pen, he changed the political hall where the prime minister was responsible for the system to a system where the prime minister takes turns holding the pen."
"Although this has the support of other prime ministers, it also makes the Zhengshitang wary. This is the emperor's intention to weaken the power of the prime minister."
"So this time the battle over Xiangrui is not about Xiangrui, but the right to interpret Xiangrui."
Zhang Leyan looked at Shang Bo with admiration. Unexpectedly, just by relying on a piece of news, Shang Bo could clearly see the struggle in the Tang Dynasty.
Shangbo's analysis is indeed good. This auspicious battle is getting more and more intense, causing a bigger storm than the last Uighur war report.
The imperial censor Zhongcheng wrote a memorial to impeach Du Hongjian, but the emperor did not publish it. This was the emperor's attitude to the court ministers, and he wanted to protect Du Hongjian.
However, the emperor remained silent, which aroused even greater anger among the ministers in the DPRK.
The Yushitai censors jointly submitted a letter requesting the emperor to thoroughly investigate the Lingwu Xiangrui incident, and the memorial to impeach Du Hongjian flew into the palace like snowflakes.
The certificate from the Political Affairs Hall was sent to Lingwu, and Lingwu soon replied in detail about the process of discovering the dragon's body.
Longyou, Wangqishi?
These words once again set off a bigger storm in the court.
It is widely said that King Jianning, together with Du Hongjian, forged the auspicious dragon carcass to claim credit from the court.
The public opinion atmosphere in Fengxiang Mansion has changed again.
In Li Heng's case, memorials to impeach King Jianning also began to appear.
The irritated Li Heng withheld all the memorials and stopped the Yanying Palace memorial meeting with the prime minister, but things went in a direction beyond his control.
Prince Zhan Shi Yang Wan wrote to the emperor to impeach Du Hongjian for lying about auspiciousness and misleading the public.
This means that officials from the East Palace family have also participated in this struggle.
The spearhead pointed by the East Palace was naturally King Jianning.
Next, Guo Ziyi, the military governor of Shuofang who was in Wugong City, was also involved by the court ministers, thinking that he was the mastermind behind Du Hongjian's auspicious incident.
Guo Ziyi had to submit a memorial to plead guilty, and the war that was preparing to regain the two capitals came to a standstill.
When the situation in the court reached this level, even the emperor had no choice but to surrender.
Secretary Li Mi, who had been secretly recalled by the emperor, sat in front of the emperor.
Li Heng was exhausted by this auspicious torment. Looking at Li Mi opposite him, Li Heng felt more relaxed than ever before.
When he was in Lingwu, it was Li Mi who was constantly planning for him.
Only now did Li Heng realize that Li Mi was the most loyal to him.
Li Heng threw the memorials from the ministers to Li Mi and said:
"Migong Mi, what do you think about Du Hongjian?"
Li Mi had stayed in Lingwu, and he and Du Hongjian also knew each other.
Li Mi did not read the other memorials, only the memorial written by Du Hongjian.
Li Mi said: "Sage, I am acquainted with Du Hongjian and Chen. In my opinion, Du Hongjian is not a person who lies about auspiciousness."
Li Heng nodded. He was familiar with Du Hongjian when he was the Prince's Mansion. He knew very well that with Du Hongjian's political wisdom, it would be impossible for him to lie about auspiciousness.
This is why the emperor informed the court ministers of the auspicious news almost immediately.
But now that there are more people impeaching Du Hongjian, Li Heng is not so confident in his own judgment.
Li Mi said: "Du Hongjian has the merit of being supported by the dragon, and he is trusted by His Majesty to station in Lingwu and control the military and administration. He will definitely become a general or a prime minister in the future."
Li Heng nodded. If the rebellion can be suppressed in the future, Du Hongjian will definitely be of great use.
Du Hongjian was a Jinshi, and his starting point was higher than that of ordinary generals.
With his merits, as long as he stays in Lingwu for a while, entering the political hall and becoming prime minister is almost a certainty.
Li Mi said: "I think there is no need for Du Hongjian to fake auspiciousness."
Li Heng asked again: "King Jianning?"
Li Mi said: "Your Majesty is saying that Du Hongjian and King Jianning colluded to forge auspiciousness?"
Li Heng nodded. This was the possibility that he was most afraid of. The general of Bianzhen colluded with the prince. This was a taboo for any emperor.
