On the third day of March in the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial examination scandal broke out, and the emperor was furious. Wu Chengsi, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was put in charge of the trial. Three days later, Wu Chengsi's original statement and the case became clear, and dozens of other court officials filed documents.
He entered it and asked Emperor Gaozong to issue an edict to arrest the criminals. The emperor agreed. Three days later, Wu Chengsi came to the book again to speak out, claiming that the case had been revealed. The cause was Lin Qi, the Minister of Rites, colluding with Wang Jun, the Minister of Household Affairs.
, Xie Sheng, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, Sun Ze, the foreign minister of the Ministry of Rites, Li Qisheng, the foreign minister of the Ministry of punishment, and others took advantage of their positions to sell examination questions in order to make huge profits. The emperor was so angry that he ordered Lin Qi to die, and all other officials involved in the case were dismissed from their posts.
He was exiled for three thousand miles, and on the grounds that the prince's supervision of the country was unfavorable, he issued an imperial edict to announce to the world that Empress Wu would be in charge of the government, with the title: "Tianhou", the emperor called himself "Emperor", and was called the Two Saints; on March 10th,
An urgent report from the Eastern Capital reached Lanzhou. When Li Xian heard about it, he was furious and summoned Zhang Jian, who was on vacation, to discuss countermeasures.
"Your Highness."
Since following Li Xian to Lanzhou three years ago, Zhang Jianzhi has rarely had free time. He has been busy with official documents in his study every day. Today, he rarely has free time. Taking advantage of the good day after the continuous rain for several days, he filed a lawsuit.
I took a vacation and went to the countryside to stretch my muscles, but I didn't expect that Liu Ziming and his men were chasing him back before they even left the city gate. He knew that something big was going to happen, so he was mentally prepared.
But as soon as Fang Ru turned around the screen in front of the study door, he was startled by Li Xian's ugly face, but he didn't dare to ask casually. He just walked forward quickly and called out cautiously.
"Oh, sir, he's back. Sit down."
Although Li Xianyan was staring at the screen, his mind was obviously not here. He did not notice Zhang Jianzhi's arrival until he heard the noise. He woke up and turned his neck numbly, squeezing out the silk.
With a smile that was no better than crying, he waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Jianzhi to take a seat.
"Your Highness, something happened in Dongdu?"
Zhang Jianzhi looked at Li Xian's face and didn't rush to speak. Instead, he walked to the opposite side of Li Xian, lifted the hem of his robe, sat down, and after thinking for a while, he tentatively asked a question.
road.
"Well, I really guessed it right. The prince lost. Sir, please take a look."
Li Xian shook his head in frustration, pushed the secret letter on the table in front of Zhang Jianzhi, and replied in a bleak tone.
"Queen of Heaven? Well, it seems that Your Majesty is very wary of the Crown Prince. If this continues, the Crown Prince will undoubtedly be in danger!"
Zhang Jianzhi was a wise man in the world. He saw the key to the matter at a glance. He immediately frowned, smacked his lips, and came to a conclusion that was not too good.
"Well, the prince is in danger!"
With the experience of three generations, Li Xian knew the origin of the "Queen of Heaven" thing. It was not just the beginning of Empress Wu's full control of the court, because in his previous life, Empress Wu also relied on catching the prince.
With her pigtails, she won the title of "Queen of Heaven" in one fell swoop. The difference between this life and her previous life is only one year - in the previous life, Empress Wu was called "Queen of Heaven" in the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, but in this life, it was a whole year later.
Of course, the situation in the court at this time is also different from that in the previous life. The difference is that Li Xian's power in the government and in the opposition is more than ten times that of the previous life. This may be the basis for Li Xian's decisive victory, but as for the prince,
In theory, the situation will only be worse than in the previous life, not better. As far as Li Xian's understanding of Li Xian is concerned, he will never give in. Fighting is an inevitable choice. The "Xuanwumen Incident" may be
The problem with Li Xian's final solution was that he had no plan, and his defeat must be doomed. When he thought of this, Li Xian couldn't help but feel slightly depressed.
"What will happen to Your Highness?"
Zhang Jianzhi didn't care about the life or death of the prince at all, and he didn't express as much emotion as Li Xian. He just sighed and turned the conversation to the main topic.
"I haven't thought clearly yet, well, let's put it this way, the prince's fellow was defeated so miserably, I'm afraid it will be Gu's turn next, hey, this Gu in Hexi and that queen's mother can't get in, and give Gu a hand in the court
It is inevitable to find some trouble. If the information is not bad, Le Xiang will be the first to be demoted. As for whether Judge Dee will be spared, it is still undecided."
Li Xian sighed helplessly, made some calculations with his fingers, and was extremely pessimistic about the upcoming situation in the DPRK.
"Your Highness, at this time, stability is the main priority. As for whether the princes in the court will go or stay, there is no need to worry too much. It is okay to wait until His Highness enters the East Palace and try to transfer them back one by one.
.”
If Li Xian can calculate things, Zhang Jianzhi can naturally do it too. However, he is not as pessimistic as Li Xian. On the contrary, he is a little excited. After all, once the prince falls, it will be Li Xian's turn to show off his skills.
, as a counselor, Zhang Jianzhi had reason to be excited.
"Well, that's all we can do. I will send a message to Duke Di later, so that everyone in the court can be mentally prepared. Alas, if I were in the court, how could such a bad thing happen? It doesn't matter, it's okay to wait.
One day in the future, I will try to rebuild the country."
Li Xian's heart was filled with helplessness, but no matter how helpless he was, he could only hold his nose and recognize it. After thinking about it carefully, he reluctantly made a decision.
"Your Highness is wise, Hexi is the foundation, but with Hexi in hand, no one can stop His Highness from falling. As for the rest, we can just try to straighten it out slowly."
What Zhang Jian was afraid of was that Li Xian would brazenly declare war with Empress Wu. When he heard what Li Xian said, the big stone hanging in his heart immediately fell to the ground, and he hurriedly praised him.
"Well, the prince's defeat was too fast and too tragic. His counterattack will be fierce and fierce. Maybe it will be decided in two or three years. I am afraid that my time is a little tight." Li Xian shook his head.
After a brief pause, he then continued: "Perhaps the 'Feiyan Project' should be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Sir, do you have any advice on this?"
"Well, Tubo Zampu is already ill in bed. There is nothing wrong with it from now on. It's just that with such a change, the overall government affairs in Hexi will have to be rearranged."
After Zhang Jianzhi frowned and pondered for a while, he did not object to Li Xian's proposal, but he was troubled by the arrangement of government affairs.
"Well, that's it. I'll worry about the government affairs, sir." Li Xian has always been very decisive, and there will be no delay in making up his mind. After saying a polite word to Zhang Jianzhi,
He immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Ziming!"
"The end is here!"
Liu Ziming had been waiting outside the door for a long time. Hearing Li Xian's call, he did not dare to neglect it, so he hurriedly walked into the room and answered loudly.
Li Xian didn't waste any more words and ordered in a calm voice: "I will immediately send a message to Lu Shizhang to initiate the 'Feiyan Project'!"
"promise!"
Liu Ziming didn't know the connotation of "Feiyan Project", but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He hurriedly agreed and hurried out of the study, arranging related matters without mentioning it.
Luoche, the capital of the Tubo Kingdom, is now Lhasa. Its original name was Reasa, which means the place where yams infested in groups. It was originally a grazing land under the jurisdiction of the Subi tribe. After Songtsen Gampo unified all Tibet, it was established as the capital.
This - after Songtsen Gampo commanded his troops to defeat the Supi tribe, he led his ministers and subordinates from Mozhugongka to Jiquwotang, cut off the north channel of Jiqu River, and caused the river water to flow to the south of the mountain, revealing the surrounding Red Mountain.
A large piece of plains, where Songtsen Gampo built palaces, temples, and housing for military and civilians, making it the capital of the dynasty. The city was built around the Red Mountain, with a population of nearly 200,000, making it the largest city on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
, was the military and political center of the Tubo Dynasty. The outer city was occupied by civilians, while the inner city was the residence of the powerful. The closer the residence was to Hongshan, the more distinguished its status was, and the more luxurious their life was. Of course,
There are exceptions, and Hertzzan is one of them. Even though his residence is located at the foot of Red Mountain, close to the royal city, it seems to be extremely noble, but in fact it is not. Since returning from the war, Hertzzan's life has been that of a little black boy.
During the New Year, every year is not as good as the last. Although I still retain the title of Uncle Wang, I am actually just an idler. I don’t even have a salary. I just live on my laurels. The quality of life is not to mention how bad it is. No, it’s a big problem.
Early in the morning, there was a commotion in the house again.
"Bring the wine, you bastard, everyone is dead, why not hurry up and bring the wine, hurry up and bring the wine!"
Herzzan, who still had a hangover, drowsily got up from the table where he had slept for most of the night. He picked up the wine jar with hazy eyes, put it to his mouth and wanted to drink again, but it took him a long time to pour it.
, and didn't see a drop of wine dripping from the jar, so he couldn't help but make a fuss, holding the jar and slamming it to the ground, but he couldn't stop yelling.
"Sir, sir, there's no more wine. I want you to finish the last bottle in the cellar."
Hearing a muffled explosion in the room, an old servant hurriedly ran in. Seeing Herzzan losing his temper, the old servant was obviously frightened and hurriedly stammered an explanation.
"What? No wine? I'll kill you! Damn you, get the wine quickly, get the wine quickly!"
The alcohol bug in Herzzan's stomach was so strong that he would not listen to anyone's explanation. In his rage, he didn't care that this old servant was a loyal person who had taken care of him since he was a child. He jumped up with wide eyes.
He got up, raised his hand, picked up a few coins and smashed them on the head. The old servant was so frightened that he hurriedly ran away.
"oops!"
The old servant's jump didn't matter, but the man in fine clothes who had just poked his head in from the door was hit hard. He was caught off guard and was immediately hit and howled miserably.
"Ah... Damn it, damn it, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, brother Wangsong Tsering, are you okay? I definitely didn't mean it, Haihan, Haihan."
Hearing the wrong call, Herzzan immediately woke up from his hangover. When he looked closely, he saw his close friend Wangsong Tsering lying on the ground and howling miserably. He couldn't help but panic and hurriedly rushed over.
He apologized repeatedly, and his dark old face showed a rare blush of apology...
