Empress Wu had a plan. A few days later, when Gaozong was in good health, she wrote a letter to him, proposing to enshrine Songshan Mountain: "Your Majesty, in the past few years, Tibet has retreated, the tribes in the northeast have surrendered, Silla has been crowned, and all nations have surrendered.
Even Tubo will surely be defeated soon under the sweep of the three armies of our Tang Dynasty. Our Tang Dynasty is so majestic and our martial arts is so great that even Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu can't match it. At this time, your majesty is offering sacrifices to heaven to report to me.
The achievements of the Tang Dynasty, therefore, I am bold and hope that your majesty can enshrine Songshan Mountain."
A few days later, there were the servants Pei Yan, Zhongshu Ling Xue Yuanchao, Huangmen Shilang, Cui Zhiwen, the third rank of Tongzhongshu, Sima of the Prime Minister's Palace, Liu Yizhi, the Zhongshu Shilang who inspected the school, Fan Lubing, the Huangmen Shilang, and Yuan Wanqing, the Zhongshusheren.
, Huangmen Minister Liu Jingxian, Huangmen Minister Wu Chengsi and others wrote to Emperor Gaozong, suggesting that Emperor Gaozong be granted the title of Zhongyue.
Because his illness had worsened recently, Emperor Gaozong also wanted to gain God's favor and live a few more years by conferring Zen status, so he agreed to the requests of the ministers and decided to appoint Pei Yan and Liu Rengui as the inspection envoys, and Yu Yongchun Er
Departing from Luoyang on April 20th of that year, he was granted the title of Zen Zhongyue.
This time, Emperor Gaozong originally wanted to call the prince to come and offer sacrifices, but Empress Wu refused on the excuse that it was customary to grant Zen to Mount Tai.
Fengchan Songshan was originally her one-man show, how could she let Li Xian get involved? If it was really Li Xianya, then she spent so much effort to persuade Emperor Gaozong to fengchan, wouldn't it be a marriage? That is a complete joke!
On the first day of May, Emperor Gaozong arrived at the foot of Songshan Mountain. He was originally planning to hold a Zen ceremony the next day, but unexpectedly, Emperor Gaozong suddenly became ill. He had an unbearable headache and could not see. At this time, Shang Pharmacy was ordered to diagnose Emperor Gaozong.
The doctor Qin Minghe brought it out and pricked Gaozong Baihui with a golden needle, which caused slight bleeding and relieved the headache.
At this time, Empress Wu, who was serving Gaozong on the side, was furious when he heard this and shouted sternly: "You actually want to stab the master in the head with a golden needle. Is it because you are planning something evil? Come here, push him out and behead him!"
In fact, in recent times, Gaozong has been getting sick more and more often, and every time it is like being tortured, but Empress Wu rarely treats him again, especially this time when the prince is not around, she even hopes that Gaozong will just do this.
It would be better if she died, because then she could justifiably take over the baton handed over by Emperor Gaozong and take charge of the Tang Dynasty. Even if Emperor Gaozong clearly wanted Li Xian to succeed, she could secretly operate to allow herself to take over the world.
However, Gaozong was not completely confused at this time, and suddenly said: "I have an unbearable headache now, so I just asked Qin Minghe to give it a try. If the blood bleeds, the condition may be relieved slightly. Qin Minghe, you can diagnose and treat me."
Yes, no matter good or bad, I will never blame you."
Since Gaozong said this, Empress Wu had no choice but to let Qin Minghe try it, and then said with a glare: "I will treat your Majesty seriously. If there is a serious accident, I will definitely kill you."
After hearing what Empress Wu said, Qin Minghe was frightened. He quickly took out the golden needle and treated Gaozong. This Qin Minghe was worthy of being a famous doctor. After he carefully pricked a little blood on Gaozong's Baihui point, Gaozong's
The condition suddenly became less severe, and Emperor Gaozong laughed loudly and said: "Haha, I can see things in my eyes, and my head no longer hurts. Doctor Qin is indeed worthy of being a famous doctor of our time, and he deserves to be rewarded!"
Empress Wu also laughed and said: "I really didn't expect that Qin's medical skills were so superb. I misunderstood Qin's doctor before. Now I apologize to Qin's doctor and convey His Majesty's will. Qin Minghe, the Qin's doctor, should be treated seriously.
Reward, reward a hundred pieces of brocade, a thousand pieces of silk, and a thousand taels of gold!"
"Well rewarded! Such a generous reward is not enough to express my feelings!" Emperor Gaozong couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed when he heard this. His whole body's energy suddenly recovered a lot, and then he said with high spirits: "Tomorrow, the ceremony of conferring Zen will proceed as usual!"
Empress Wu was also laughing with Gaozong, but Gaozong, who was in a good mood after recovering from his illness, didn't even see it. At this time, Empress Wu's eyes actually flashed with a fierce murderous aura!
What Gaozong didn't even know was that a few days later, news came that the attendant Qin Minghe suddenly fell ill and died...
The next day, Emperor Gaozong led Empress Wu and hundreds of officials to finally reach the top of Mount Song. After a busy ceremony, they finally completed the ceremony, creating a precedent for conferring Mount Tai and Mount Song at the same time!
After the ceremony was completed, another round of awards was given as usual, but this time the scale was even larger than the Fengchan Taishan. First of all, it was still all the civil servants and generals who followed the order, as well as the governors and governors from various places who came to worship, the old people who became officials, and
There are people who meet the emperor every month on the first day of the lunar month. Regardless of whether they belong to the Tang Dynasty or the Yi and Di countries, all officials of third rank and above will be given a second-class title. Those with a rank of seven or above will be given a higher rank. Those with a rank of four or below will be given a higher rank. Those below the eighth rank will be given a rank of one rank.
Zhuan (converting the rank once), and those old people who came to worship, men over 100 years old were awarded official positions or titles with white plates without court orders, which is probably equivalent to honorary official positions) Xiazhou Governor, women
Bans are awarded to county princes. Those who are over 80 are awarded to the festival level (mid- to low-level military attachés).
However, Empress Wu still believed that the reward was too small, and asked Emperor Gaozong to issue an edict that all officials of third rank and above would be given a third rank, those above seventh rank, and those below fourth rank would be given a third rank, and those below eighth rank would be given a second rank, and the rank would be transferred once (conversion rank).
(rank once), and for those old people who come to worship, men over ninety years old are awarded the title of governor of Zhongzhou, women over the age of seventy are awarded the title of governor of Xiazhou.
At the same time, Emperor Gaozong also issued an edict to grant amnesty to the world and granted him a ten-day banquet. Afterwards, he held a banquet for all the ministers and played "Ten Bu Yue".
In fact, the Tang Dynasty originally had nine music genres. Later, after the conquest of Goguryeo, it absorbed Goguryeo music to form ten genres of music.
Empress Wu gained great prestige through Yaxian during the ceremony of conferring the title of Zen, and later petitioned for the conferment of titles for the officials and people who participated in the ceremony. Such a high reputation could vaguely overshadow that of the prince. For Empress Wu, it was considered to have achieved her goal.
.
"Haha, Xian'er, my son, I have gained a lot as a mother this time, and my reputation has surpassed yours, especially in Luozhou, my reputation is second only to the emperor, I don't know what you are doing
How angry will you be after knowing this? In fact, the angrier you are, the better, because this is your dissatisfaction with the emperor. After your generals are defeated in Tubo, your prestige will be enough even if your mother does nothing.
It has slipped to the bottom, and when that time comes, for my mother's sake, I will control the emperor again. All your hard work for so many years will be ruined in one moment, so don't be so angry that you will die." Empress Wu's face was full of pride and she said silently. (To be continued.
